Chapter 22: Heavenly Calculations
Although the two little people have become stronger and stronger after practicing the foundation building method, they are still tired and sweaty on their foreheads when they fill a large bucket of water.
Wang Chong didn't stop it, and after the two of them made a good water, they also washed and bathed with peace of mind, not wasting the filial piety of the two disciples.
"Teacher... After you left, a person came down from the mountain, and he clearly said that he would be exempted from forced labor and taxes for one year, but they went back on their word and asked the village to send people to mine, and the grandfather went to find an immortal master to be accommodating, but he was seriously injured.
Senior sister's father was not mining at the beginning, and all these years he survived by relying on his grandfather to help him in the village. ”
Wang Chong looked at the cautious appearance of the two children, Li Daocheng and Li Yuaxe, while holding the dishes, and somehow remembered what he looked like when he was in Wutai Mountain.
When he first crossed Shu Mountain, it was the time of the great chaos in the world at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and it was the Taiyi Patriarch who rescued him from the chaos and brought him back to Wutai Mountain.
"At the beginning, I was also so respectful and afraid of the patriarch, and I was careful in everything I did, but the patriarch not only did not blame, but knew how to guide patiently."
Thinking of Patriarch Taiyi and the more than 100 years when he was carefree in Wutai Mountain, Wang Chong couldn't help but feel a little soft in his heart.
"Disciple... Wrong, begging... Teacher... Don't rush me... Let's go..."
Outside the room, Li Xiuling had been kneeling for more than two hours, and her voice had changed from crisp at the beginning to hoarse now.
Even if he has cultivated his true qi and stepped into the door of cultivation, after all, the time is still short, and the foundation has not been completed, and the body has not yet transformed, so he can still only be regarded as a mortal fetus.
It's like a child walking with a sledgehammer heavier than himself.
For more than two hours, hundreds of heads were kowtowed, at this time Li Xiuling no longer had the vigor just now, his forehead was cracked, the hairpin was scattered, and people were kowtowing and kowtowing.
Wang Chong thought of Patriarch Taiyi, and his heart softened a little, he made a lot of mistakes at the beginning, but Patriarch Taiyi never gave up on himself.
Why are you so harsh?
However, building is basically a test left by Wang Chong, no matter what the reason, since Li Xiuling can't bear the momentary anger, he really has no chance to be his own apprentice.
"Let her in."
Hearing that Wang Chong finally relented, Li Daocheng was overjoyed, but he still tried his best to suppress it and saluted respectfully.
"Yes, Teacher."
The door opened, and when he saw that it was Li Daocheng, Li Xiuling was still habitually preparing to kowtow, and Li Daocheng hurriedly grabbed her.
"Senior sister, the teacher called you, come in."
Li Xiuling didn't seem to hear it, and still had to knock again, Wang Chong inside saw his appearance, and immediately knew why, and shouted at the moment:
"Poor Dao has already said, if you go quickly, it will be seven or eight days, and if you are slow, you will return, you are so angry, you can't stand any grievances, and you will take Poor Dao's words as a deaf ear.
Now it's just a small setback, and I'm going to spoil myself again, okay... Knock it off! Look at the knock to death, the poor road will be a little moved. ”
Wang Chong's words were extremely heavy, and Li Xiuling seemed to have been hit hard, and his eyes turned from chaos to clarity.
"Teacher, I was wrong, please don't drive me away."
Li Yuaxe's parents are complete, although life is not good, and his younger brother was taken away by the immortals on the mountain, but in general, in fact, life can go on.
But Li Xiuling and Li Daocheng are different, one has lost his father since he was a child, and his mother is pulling and raising him alone, and the elders in the same village naturally know the hard work of the mother and the mother from time to time.
But those who are the same age do not have this kind of empathy, Li Xiuling has been bullied since she was a child, I don't know how many times, and gradually her personality is naturally a little extreme, and she can't stand it.
Because she knows that the more she retreats, the more the other party will gain an inch.
Li Xiuling is like this, Li Daocheng is different, his parents are not there, when he was very young, he ate one meal at home and one at that family, felt warmth, and suffered from white eyes.
But he knew that he would not be able to live without these uncles and uncles, so although he was sensitive, he always had a grateful heart.
In addition, the tribulations are more than Li Xiuling's, so his mind is precocious.
But no matter what, the past six months have been the happiest days in the lives of the two, Wang Chong taught them knowledge, and also helped them choose their names and accept them as disciples.
Kindness, majesty, worship, admiration, everything made the two vaguely overlap Wang Chong with their fantasized father figure.
This is also the reason why Li Xiuling was so devastated by Wang Chong.
Li Xiuling has just kowtowed and confessed, in fact, it was just out of fear of being driven away by Wang Chong, and he didn't think that what he had done was wrong, so even if he kowtowed fiercely and said 'wrong' in his mouth, his tears were not shed, and he was always very stubborn.
But Wang Chong's drink broke through the protective color of the packaging she had given herself since she was a child, and tears welled up in an instant, crying bitterly. I can't maintain that stubborn appearance anymore.
Wang Chong sighed and beckoned to her.
Li Xiuling didn't get up either, crawled into the room crying, knelt in front of Wang Chong and cried:
"Teacher, I was wrong, please don't drive me away."
Patting her on the head, Wang Chong sighed:
"A cultivator, if it is a matter of the path, should be brave and diligent, dare to draw his sword and fight for a broad road for himself.
But it's just a small thing, and you don't care about your own path, but you want to fight with others.
How is this the state of mind of a monastic? ”
The reason why Wang Chong took risks everywhere in his previous life was because he had no choice but to steal the Dao methods of various sects and solve the problem of the demonic intent of the foundation, he could only be refined into a projection incarnation by the Son of Great Freedom, and the end was much worse than the soul scattered.
He wasn't really a master of escape, and before he practiced magic, he had always taken these external objects that didn't involve his own path very lightly.
Even those seniors who had no cause and effect were secretly hidden, he didn't think about it at all, and he only had a self-refining Bailing Slashing Immortal Sword on his body.
Later, he was inexplicably pulled into the catastrophe, and he was never depressed, although the means were not glorious, but this Dao heart that still dared to fight and sword in the face of difficulties and supreme existence was the real support for him to achieve the Heavenly Immortals.
Not being held back by trivial things, but daring to fight bravely for one's own path, this is the mentality that a true cultivator should have.
"Teacher, disciple... I really know it's wrong. ”
Li Xiuling cried so much that she seemed to have sincere remorse, so Wang Chong didn't say anything more, patted her on the shoulder and asked her to get up, and said:
"Originally, the poor road was calculated, and the Li family would have a big change within three years, and when the time came, they could calmly take the Five Elements Mountain as the foundation of the establishment of the sect, but if you were stirred up like this, the death of the ancestor of the Li family should be on the poor road again.
But if you really want to respond to the robbery under the hands of the poor Dao, and the poor Dao has occupied this inheritance, it is really not good to spread it.
It is a calamity that you have brought about and it is up to you to put an end to it. ”
After that, he took out a jade gourd from his sleeve and handed it to Li Xiulingdao:
"This is a gourd Qianyuan Bone Changing Pill, a total of thirty-six grains, you eat one pill a day, and after thirty-six days, you can fade away from the mortal womb, and the true qi is greatly advanced.
Poor Dao will go to the ancestor of the Li family to make a war letter and bet on half of the Five Elements Mountain.
Remember, if you break the poor path again, you don't have to come back to the poor way. ”
Wang Chong said harshly, Li Xiuling hurriedly wiped away her tears and said firmly:
"Disciple, never let the teacher down again."
Wang Chong's expression slowed slightly, and he waved his hand to let the three of them retreat.
The three of them saluted respectfully and slowly exited the room.
After no one was around, Wang Chong snorted coldly, and said to the sky:
"If you dare to calculate the poor way, do you believe it, the poor road will refine you into a plaything in the future?"
Accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, Wang Chong did not have the slightest awe of this kind of heavenly dao that only had a vague consciousness.
