Chapter 11: The Three Phases
In the end, grandpa still took me back to the sect of the Three Peerless Physiognomy that has been passed down from generation to generation, and I have no impression of how grandpa repelled the corpse king later, as if that memory was sealed...
As a child, I looked at the solemn atmosphere that enveloped the entire hall, and my heart felt as if it was filled with sunshine.
It would be nice if I could live in a house like this.
I looked around in my grandfather's arms, and my eyes met the stern-looking elder.
"Why is this man so still?"
The childish voice caused everyone to burst into laughter.
Maybe because I was my grandfather's grandson and a child, everyone went their separate ways after laughing at me.
No one cares if I go or stay.
Since there was no one to drive me away, I settled in this temple with peace of mind.
He never paid for his house, nor did he pay for his food.
Ten years as a day, I have developed a deep affection for this place.
I don't know what day it was, I seemed to have become a member of the sect, and I could add melons and fruits to the rituals and sweep the floor.
Now, it will be decades since my father's death.
Now I am no longer the laughing little bean Ding I used to be, and my juniors and disciples respect me very much.
When I walked out of the main hall, the juniors of the sect bowed to me one after another.
They have always been in awe of me, a brother who is pregnant with a spiritual child.
Turning around and walking through the corridor, a young man approached me and said respectfully, "Senior brother, your cultivation is profound, your strength is majestic, I have come to ask you for advice. His voice was filled with devotion and longing.
"If there's anything you'd like to ask, just ask."
He nodded excitedly, "Senior brother, I've been cultivating swordsmanship recently, but I always feel that progress is slow, how can I speed up my cultivation?" ”
I smiled slightly, pretending to say, "Cultivating swordsmanship requires hard work and perseverance, and the key lies in the adjustment of cultivation methods and moods. You can try to practice more every day and use your cultivation time to focus on the comprehension of sword intent. ”
He listened attentively, his eyes revealed a glimmer of enlightenment, and he said gratefully: "Senior brother, your guidance really enlightened me, and I will definitely work harder to cultivate!" ”
Just when I was proud, I suddenly heard my grandfather's voice coming.
"Tianming, come here."
I immediately stopped what I was doing and walked briskly to my grandfather's house.
Grandpa sat on a bamboo chair, his wise eyes scanning me.
"Grandson, you are gifted and intelligent, your cultivation is strong, and you are invincible."
I laughed.
"Hahaha, that's nature."
He sighed softly and said, "But it's a pity that I've seen you get more and more tired and lose your heart over the years." Besides, the revenge of killing his father has not been avenged, how can he be arrogant. ”
I couldn't help but feel embarrassed on my face, but the road to the peak of cultivation was really difficult.
Grandpa understood my heart and continued softly, "I have seen too many brilliant people who are conceited because of their talents, and in the end they fail. I don't want you to repeat the mistakes of the past. ”
I looked at me and asked suspiciously, "Grandpa, do you have any ideas?" ”
Grandpa nodded: "Since the spirit fetus provokes you to be rampant, it is better to seal this spirit fetus." “
I was puzzled, and my heart welled up with longing for my father and hatred for my enemies.
"Then how can I go away in a chivalrous manner, and how can I avenge my father?"
"I know you have justice in your heart, but the world is full of disputes and unpredictable hearts. If your spirit womb is known, it will inevitably lead to endless strife and hunting. Sealing your spirit fetus is also to protect you. “
I can't bear this spirit fetus, but grandpa is right.
"As for Changhe's death, you don't have to be in a hurry, when you cultivate to Dacheng and naturally break through the seal, then avenge your father to be foolproof."
I remained silent.
He continued, "My son, although this move will keep you safe, it will also limit your cultivation speed. Since ancient times, the road of cultivation is long, and it is by no means a day's work, and the purpose of sealing your spiritual womb is to allow you to study hard and practice hard, and not be involved by utilitarian hearts. ”
I frowned slightly, inevitably a little unwilling in my heart.
But thinking about my grandfather's love and teachings for me, the doubts in my heart gradually dissipated.
I solemnly saluted my grandfather and accepted his decision to seal it.
In the months that followed, I continued to practice diligently in the sect, cultivating diligently every day, and forgetting the golden spirit true qi that I once had.
My grandfather also guided me in my practice, imparting the essence of the Tao.
While my peers in the sect were refining magic weapons, I silently adhered to the ordinary and pure.
One day, while I was immersed in the practice, my grandfather called me.
"Let's go, take you to practice the Three Absolute Phases."
I followed my grandfather into the training ground, which was located deep in the valley.
Surrounded by green hills, birds and flowers, the sun shines through the leaves, enveloping the entire venue in a warm glow.
It is indeed a good place to concentrate on your practice.
I came to an old stone house, the bricks of which were mottled and peeling off.
There is a signboard hanging in front of the door - "Three Unique Schools", the shape of the two big characters is simple, overflowing with the vicissitudes of history.
Push open the door and walk into the spacious main hall.
The wooden floor creaks slightly, and the ancient murals are painted with figures that seem to be dancing, as if telling many stories.
Grandpa sat down and stared at me with a deep gaze.
"Tianming, you are the most talented inheritor of the sect in the past hundred years, and you are much more stable after sealing the spirit fetus."
"Naturally, grandpa taught well."
"Starting today, I will teach you the Three Absolute Phases Technique, don't be distracted."
I nodded, looking forward to Grandpa's next guidance. Grandpa untied a delicate cloth bag from his waist and gently opened it, sparkling with crystal clear gems inside.
He took out a red gem from the cloth bag and held out his palm to me.
"This is one of the most important artifacts of our Three Absolute Phases, the Heart of Flame." Grandpa looked into your eyes, "When you can see the essence of everything through the Heart of Flame, you can truly grasp the true meaning of physiognomy." ”
You carefully take the Heart of Flame, feeling a faint heat rippling in your hands. Grandpa motions in a silent motion to signal you to close your eyes and concentrate.
"Now, sense it with your heart and try to see everything around you." Grandpa's voice was whispered and soft.
I followed my grandfather's instructions and slowly relaxed my body and focused on feeling the energy of the Heart of Flame.
Gradually, you begin to see the outlines of everything around you, as if they have been unveiled.
Time passed quickly, and when I looked up, it was already dusk.
As the sun set, I dragged my tired body away from the training ground.
"Child, today is the first step for us to learn the Three Absolute Physiognomy Technique, but there are still thousands of miles to go. Only by truly mastering the Three Absolute Phases can you lift the seal of the spirit fetus, and you can avenge your father. ”
