Dean Wen looked around and said in a loud voice: "Today's 'Pengcheng Banquet' has come to a successful conclusion. ”

As his words fell, the blessings of the Hongfa Hall immediately dissipated and turned back to its original open-air appearance.

Vice Dean Quan immediately said, "Hall Master Ye." You will lead all the disciples to retreat and rest, and prepare to enter the Tianyuan Temple in the future and complete the 'Crystal Conferment' ceremony. Xu Zhenyun, you stay. ”

The disciples said goodbye to each of the nine sects, and then left under the guidance of the Ye Hall Master. Among them, Xiang Tianwen was even more relieved, and after a long sigh of relief, he couldn't wait to slip away.

The remaining six hall masters also retired by five. Only one person was left, reciting the magic trick in his mouth, carefully and carefully putting away the "Great Dan Blue Scroll", and then bowed to the stage and retreated from the south gate.

Chen Hanfeng always had a solemn look, and said softly to Dean Wen: "Dean farewell." ”

As soon as the words fell, they turned into blue and white, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Ji Xiaohua and Xu Zhenyun looked at each other, a smile appeared on the demonic face, and he seemed to say meaningfully: "There will be a period later." ”

Immediately, the body turned into a tornado, turned into a phantom that expanded dozens of times, and then gradually dissipated.

Xu Zhenyun's heart moved, and he always felt that Ji Xiaohua's sentence "There will be a period later" was not like a daily communication language.

At this time, except for Xu Zhenyun, only Dean Wen and Vice Dean Quan were left on the mountain.

Dean Wen raised his pipe, took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "Zhenyun, there are still a few words to explain to you......"

But his words were interrupted by Quan Miaoyan: "Dean." Except for the 'Six Classics', which you personally presided, other things seem to come to me at most. Then you don't have to bother with the little things. ”

At the banquet, Quan Miaoyan obeyed Dean Wen's orders; But at this time, she suddenly had a clear line and refused to give in.

Dean Wen spit out a smoke ring in his mouth, and said with a slightly embarrassed smile: "That's that, you are all Miaoyan, you are the 'chief of affairs' of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty...... The rest of the arrangements are up to you. ”

After finishing speaking, Dean Wen smiled warmly at Xu Zhenyun and said warmly: "After some hard work, you can also go home and rest for two days." ”

Xu Zhenyun smiled: "That's right. ”

With a flick of his wrist, Dean Wen's pipe, which was not a small size, became three or four times larger. Then he sat leisurely on his pipe and rode away with the wind.

Quan Miaoyan turned around and said with a smile: "Once you step into the Dao Gate, the years ahead will be very different from before. However, if you are in moderation, you will have to take two more days off than them for now, and go home and sleep peacefully. ”

"Two days later, someone will come to pick you up and invite you to participate in the 'Initiation Ceremony' and the 'First Lecture on Initiation';

Quan Miaoyan said: "But before parting, there are still a few words to explain." ”

Xu Zhenyun said: "Vice Dean Quan, please advise." ”

Quan Miaoyan's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly smiled: "I deal with daily chores, and I don't like to be quiet." Talk as you go, right? The crane five-element boat that happened to be prepared for you is at the foot of the mountain. ”

Xu Zhenyun was stunned, and then smiled: "Okay." ”

The pattern of Dinghu Mountain, spiraling up the mountain from the south, will pass through the six halls in turn, which is the six partial halls of the "Dharma Promotion Palace", and each hall corresponds to a special function. When you reach the top of the mountain, you will find the main hall of the Dharma Hall.

But at this moment, the two of them were descending the mountain from the back path, all the way unimpeded, and there was no trace of any manpower axe. Even if it is a downhill path, it is irregularly placed with large and small stones, and when you are in it, you can't see that it is a "road".

Xu Zhenyun and Quan Miaoyan walked side by side, and with a glance, they suddenly found that Vice Dean Quan not only had blue lips, but even the nails of his ten fingers were painted blue.

At the same time, I saw the skirt swaying, and half of the wide-sleeved gauze skirt was blue; The lining is still light blue.

"Quan Miaoyan? Lan Miaoyan......"

Xu Zhenyun sneered.

Quan Miaoyan said: "Since I have been to the Tianyuan Temple once, I naturally understand that the cultivators of the three major immortal dynasties all belong to the 'WTO' group. ”

Xu Zhenyun said: "Yes." ”

Quan Miaoyan said unhurriedly: "The evolution of the practice of entering the WTO can be divided into three stages: in the Hongchen Era of the Third Age, there was a move to get close to Hongchen, and no longer blindly pay attention to staying away from the world; This is the first stage. ”

"In the Fourth and Fifth Ages, the monastic forces personally descended, carrying the body of the sect inside, showing the form of the dynasty outside, and directly ruling the world, which was the second stage. In this phase, many of the links acted more radically than they do now; But in terms of utility, it can only be said that the reputation is mixed. ”

"Since the incarnation of Mr. Chaoyin, the true meaning of 'being with the world' is the third stage."

Xu Zhenyun couldn't help but say: "The so-called 'being with the world' means not only not severing the connection with the world, but also limiting this connection with special criteria, and going back and forth between the 'Taoist karma' and the 'world'?" ”

Even among ordinary people, "being with the world" cannot be regarded as an isolated concept.

Many people know some of it; But it's not specific enough.

Xu Zhenyun is the same.

Quan Miaoyan smiled and said, "You don't need to understand all of the complete cultivation paths. The difficult content in it will naturally come into contact with when you reach that point in your cultivation. For now, you just need to know the truth of 'full concealment' and 'semi-concealment', and it is enough. ”

Xu Zhenyun stared slightly, and immediately thought that he had heard the concepts of "fully hidden" and "semi-hidden" from Li County Ling.

Quan Miaoyan lightly crossed over a cyan stone and explained: "The so-called 'Quan Yin' has a very simple meaning, that is, it is completely integrated into the mundane, appearing in the form of a mortal, and there is no difference from ordinary ordinary people. ”

"At present, you are still early from 'full concealment', so you don't need to know too much, what you need to know carefully is 'semi-hidden'."

"Half-hidden?"

Xu Zhenyun chewed and tasted.

Quan Miaoyan said: "The so-called semi-hidden - it means that others know your identity as a cultivator; But you only know who you are. ”

Xu Zhenyun had a flash of inspiration in his mind, isn't his father Xu Fengzhi "semi-hidden"?

Quan Miaoyan explained: "From 'semi-hidden' to 'fully hidden', it is a process of transition and improvement. To some extent, 'semi-hidden' is an inevitability caused by real conditions. Those who have not been in the Tao for a long time can only be 'semi-hidden'. ”

Xu Zhenyun thought for a moment and nodded slowly.

Nowadays, the world is very popular, and there is a system of "Taoism" and "Dynasty Election". Those with outstanding qualifications are competing on this track. Unless the gods supervise the people who are born with the Hundred Days Awakening Dao Xuanjing, a person who grows into a cultivator will inevitably be inseparable from the cultivation of the family-

Just like the imperial examination road in the past.

And once successful, secular families will also receive three "yellow leaf notes" in return.

The whole process is clear to his relatives, of course, it cannot be kept secret, and it is impossible to "hide everything".

Xu Zhenyun suddenly thought of something, his eyes flashed, and he said slowly: "The so-called 'full concealment' is actually waiting for ......."

Quan Miaoyan nodded lightly and said, "Not bad." When all your immediate family members, parents, brothers, wives and children are all gone, that is, when the 'first worldly relationship' ends, you can also get out of your shell, change your identity and wander the world, and turn into the path of 'total concealment'. ”

Xu Zhenyun was stunned.

Quan Miaoyan continued: "Let's go back to the 'semi-hidden' way that is closely related to you. There are only two meanings in this way: one is 'not to leak', and the other is 'as before'. It's all literal, very simple, and you should understand it. ”

Xu Zhenyun thought about it carefully and nodded again.

The so-called "non-divulging" is actually another level of explanation of "only knowing that you are a cultivator" - all your experiences and experiences in the world of "Taoism" cannot be told to your relatives, friends and family members in the worldly division, and you must keep it a secret strictly.

The so-called "as before" is the attitude of getting along with relatives and friends in secular life, and everything is as it is, without any change because of the fact that you have become a monk.

Xu Zhenyun's thoughts were flying, and his thoughts diverged quickly.

Li County's order is obviously the way of "full concealment". The classmates in the Baishi Martial Arts Pavilion, everyone knew that Li Changshou's father was Li Mingjiang, and they had never heard of him being a cultivator.

That means that Li Xianling has been beating singles, staying up until his parents and brothers are gone, and then marrying a wife and having children after turning to the way of "full concealment"; Or does he actually have a marriage in every life, and the first generation of wives and children have long since passed away?

Also, the high-level of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty, like the Divine Capital Inspector, there are very young newcomers; But most of them are just young in appearance, in fact, they are not young, they are all in the stage of "full concealment", right?

So they are all like "Li County Order" and "Li Mingjiang", will have another identity in the "secular division"?

For example, sometimes I see an old man picking up garbage in the back alley, who is actually Dean Wen?

The white-faced student who sings in a certain troupe is actually Ji Xiaohua?

Thinking like this, Xu Zhenyun was suddenly shocked: In this world, everyone wears masks, and there are masters everywhere?

It's kind of scary......

Xu Zhenyun suddenly turned his head abruptly and said, "Vice Dean Quan, are you in the stage of the 'Quanyin' Dao?" I don't know if you are ...... in the world."

Quan Miaoyan suddenly had a pretty face, turning her face like turning a book.

She stretched out her fingers suddenly, lightly touched the three inches in front of Xu Zhenyun's forehead, and said very seriously: "Remember, this is a taboo!" ”

"Unless the other party takes the initiative to tell you, or it happens naturally. Otherwise, you can't find out the status of the 'all-hermit' cultivator in the world—"

Quan Miaoyan smiled, and the serious atmosphere suddenly collapsed: "It's like you can't take the initiative to ask a woman's age." ”

Xu Zhenyun was dumbfounded.

Halfway through the mountain road that followed, Quan Miaoyan talked about some common sense issues in the introduction of the path to cultivation with Xu Zhenyun in turn.

As he spoke, he walked and walked until he knew it, and before he knew it, he had reached the foot of the mountain, and a long brown-red wooden boat with a carved crane head and a narrow body was quietly docked at the foot of the mountain.

Quan Miaoyan suddenly stretched out his hand and took out a light yellow envelope from his chest, handed it to Xu Zhenyun, and said, "It's here, go up." ”

Reaching out to take it, just touching it lightly, Xu Zhenyun immediately knew that it contained three yellow leaf notes-this is what he deserves after his official enlightenment.

Xu Zhenyun no longer hesitated, saluted Quan Miaoyan, and said, "Vice Dean Quan, don't leave it here." ”

Immediately jumped and sat in the "Crane Five Elements Boat".

The flying boat took off, and Xu Zhenyun embarked on the return journey.

Although the speed of this boat is extremely fast, it is obviously inferior to the golden hoe it took when it came, and it has been flying in the sky for about half an hour before it suddenly hovered in front of the gate of Xu Zhenyun's house in Yuhuafang.

But at this moment, the gate of Xu's house was closed, and Xu Zhenyun heard a pig-like cry from the courtyard through the door.
