Chapter 61: The Thousand Layers of Old Men's Routines
Li Dazhi felt that his legs were about to break.
What's going on today? Why did everything come together?
His son returned from his training and brought back a very difficult Xu senior;
Li Dazhi had just poured his mind full of 'gods', 'heavenly ways', and 'order' in his son's son, and was called over by the head of the house to continue socializing.
As a result, before the seat was hot, Li Dazhi was summoned by the master, and he could only use the excuse to deal with urgent matters and return to his own Cloud Casting Hall.
Li Dazhi pushed the door and saw Kongming Daoist drinking tea there with a sad face.
"Master!"
Li Dazhi leaned in with a smile and made a gesture:
"You're out of the customs, and you directly summoned your disciples to the back mountain, why do you still want to come here? Was it disturbed by Xu Sheng's seniors? ”
"He? Hum! ”
Kong Ming snorted coldly and said in a low voice:
"This old guy, when he was fighting around with his fellow Daoists, he had to bite a piece of meat for his teacher to cultivate a magic weapon, but now he knows how to ask for someone!
"As a teacher, he won't be out of the customs because of this little thing...... Great ambition. ”
"Hey."
"Just sit down, isn't this your territory?"
The man smiled and pointed to the seat next to him.
Li Dazhi sat down in an orderly manner, and then his eyes were empty, and he was a little distracted.
Kongming Daoist took a few sips of the teacup and sighed and snorted from time to time, but he didn't speak for a long time.
Li Dazhi whispered: "Master, if you have something to order, the disciple is willing to do his best to solve problems for you and the sect." ”
It was also the first time he had seen his master's old face with such a rich facial expression.
"It's a bit of a problem."
The empty Ming Daoist arranged a layer of Dao rhyme, and his slightly thin figure approached Li Dazhi and said in a low voice:
"Don't spread the word about it, for it's about the safety of your only son.
"To put it simply, there is a powerful and supernatural person who has taken a fancy to Ping'an's amazing understanding and wants to teach him a method of refining weapons."
Li Dazhi's eyes lit up: "This is a good thing, my family is really blessed!" Who is the might? ”
Kongming Daoren's eyes were a little blank, and his smile was slightly bitter: "My teacher." ”
"What's that? Ahem, no! ”
Li Dazhi's widening eyes quickly narrowed, and he frowned and asked:
"I still have a master?"
"Don't shout nonsense," Kong Ming Daoist Zhengse said, "I'm just a registered disciple of the teacher, you can't call the ancestor indiscriminately, the teacher never accepts apprentices." ”
"Hey, yes, this respected senior, senior."
Li Dazhi was in good spirits and asked with a smile:
"What concerns does Master have now? Could it be a matter of seniority?
"Master, don't worry, if Ping An and you become brothers, then it will be nothing for me to call Ping An Uncle Ping An in the future, this is just a title.
"If Ping An can learn great skills, it doesn't hurt for me to call him master!"
"You're free-spirited, not a matter of a few titles."
Kongming Daoist shook his head with a smile and said slowly:
"If a teacher wants to preach, he must test the peaceful mind, and this is what makes it difficult for a teacher."
Li Dazhi blinked: "What's so difficult about this, how to test the mind?" ”
Kong Ming said: "It's probably just to let Ping An go out and go through hardships, so that you can see whether his heart is tenacious." ”
Li Dazhi thought about it carefully, and then began to hang his head.
"This is indeed a bit of a hassle, Master."
Li Dazhi sighed:
"My family has just come back from the East China Sea, and I have been stimulated by some stimulus, I listen to the meaning of his words, and the next thing is to break his leg, and he will not go out of the mountain gate half a step again."
Kong Ming asked, "Do you have any friends?" Let Ping An deliver a letter? And then let's throw a few demons on the road, what do you think? ”
"Master," Li Dazhi said in a low voice, "It's not that the disciple will dismantle your platform, such a way, Ping An must not believe it, and he will definitely say that it would be good to send an immortal to the door to send the letter?" ”
"That's right."
Kongming groaned a few times, and then asked, "What is lacking in peace?" ”
Li Dazhi said in a low voice: "It's my fault, Master, the disciple gives him too many things on weekdays." ”
"He also deserves it, Ping An has made a lot of contributions to the door."
The empty man continued to think.
He had never felt that it would be so troublesome to sharpen a disciple.
If it is changed to weekdays, it will be forgotten, Li Ping'an has just returned from the East China Sea, and he has not practiced steadily for a few days, and it really makes some sense to arrange any tasks for him in the door.
Not to mention Li Dazhi.
If you want to effectively test Li Ping'an's character, you naturally can't let Li Ping'an know about it;
It is indeed a little difficult to fool Li Ping'an.
Kong Ming said suddenly: "In this way, Da Zhiling came to pretend to be crazy, and then he urgently needed a taste of herbs, so we arranged for Ping An to go to collect medicine!" ”
"Master!"
Li Dazhi smiled bitterly:
"If I don't mix well in the door, I don't have one or two friends on the left and right, so this can happen.
"Now, if I really go crazy, there will be at least dozens of elders in the door to help.
"Besides, this matter is handed over to a disciple of the Realm of Refining Void like Ping An...... I really can't make sense. ”
Kong Ming nodded slowly, thought for a while, and said slowly: "So, let's say that he has a long-lost brother and sister?" Let him pick it up? ”
Li Dazhi said: "Master, the disciple is just a child of him, he knows, and there is no possibility of this thing happening, before we entered the worldly city, we all lived in an isolated place. ”
Sora continued to frown and ponder.
Li Dazhi was also worried.
Half an hour later, the head of Yunmo was also called over, and the three of them pondered how to deceive Li Ping'an.
The head said: "There are three difficulties in this matter, one is not to let Ping An know that this is a trial, otherwise he will not be able to observe his mind, the second is not to let that senior dislike us and others, and the third is not to really throw Ping An into a desperate situation, which will easily damage his Dao heart and thus miss such an opportunity." ”
Kongming Daoist nodded slowly, and Li Dazhi frowned for a while.
Kong Ming asked: "Yunmo, you have analyzed it so thoroughly, what can you do?" ”
"This, still thinking about it," the head smiled awkwardly, and sat on the side in the shape of a robe version of a thinker.
Li Dazhi began to pace slowly, and the empty Ming Daoist continued to pinch his beard and groan.
After a while, the three Daoists each spoke, and they all said one or two trial plans, but they were all denied.
Li Dazhi proposed to use Mu Ningning to lure Li Ping'an, saying that there was an accident at Mu Ningning's house, and then they secretly arranged a group of disciples to disguise themselves as evil cultivators.
This plan is very prone to loopholes, and it will also let many people know that it is difficult to deceive Li Ping'an by giving a disciple a trial with great fanfare.
The head of the sect suggested that it would be better to arrange a training meeting for the disciples of the sect, and let the disciples rush to the border of Beizhou and Xizhou in batches, and at the same time kill the demons, and let the senior see Li Ping'an's heart by the way.
But Li Dazhi asked rhetorically, if there were casualties among disciples during the training process, wouldn't it be because of small losses and big gains?
Such a plan can only be abandoned.
Kongming Daoren thought of another way - he didn't tell Li Ping'an anything, and directly used the method of moving him to throw away the border of Xizhou, to see if he could return to Dongzhou safely.
Li Dazhi almost knelt down and kowtowed to his master.
It's just a tribulation, an observation of the mind, and no need to really go to the wilderness to survive!
The three old men pondered again.
The head raised his head and sighed: "The key is that Ping An is too smart, if he is stupid, we don't have to worry so much." ”
Kongming Daoren smiled: "If he is too stupid, how can he be favored by that senior?" ”
All three of them smiled with relief.
Suddenly, I heard a warm old voice from the corner:
"Don't worry about it, Kong Ming, I'll stay with you for a while, and when I go out quietly, I can make a little arrangement and arrange some hardships."
The corner was empty, and the head and Li Dazhi were a little stunned.
Kong Ming Lao Dao hurriedly got up and bowed to the corner: "Yes, follow the teacher's order." ”
The head of the house was stunned.
The teacher of the founding patriarch? Isn't that the great power of the Jade Void Palace, known as the first immortal of heaven and earth refining......
The head turned his head to look at Li Dazhi, and Li Dazhi was also at a loss.
Kong Ming Lao Dao turned around and said:
"You have also heard the teacher's advice, and only you and I can know about this matter.
"For the time being, there is no need to disturb the peace, let him practice with peace of mind.
"Especially you, Dazhi, if you tell Ping An about this, I'm afraid you'll miss the opportunity."
Li Dazhi's expression was dazed.
Kong Ming said again: "Dazhi, you remember to come to me on weekdays to give me some new gadgets that you and Ping An are tinkering with, the teacher loves these gadgets the most." ”
"Hey, yes, Master, don't worry!"
Li Dazhi responded repeatedly, and his mind was spinning rapidly.
……
Li Ping'an didn't know at the moment how much of a problem he had for his father, the head of the family, and the patriarch of the mountain.
In the underground secret room, he 'personally handedly' put incense on the tablet of the Sanqing Dao Ancestor, knelt down and kowtowed a few times, and replaced two spirit stones for the automatic incense magic device on the side, turned around and fled to other test sites.
What Li Ping'an wants to do most now is to get the 'self-propelled immortal armor' out.
If this thing can be manufactured in large quantities, the defense capability of the Wanyun Sect Mountain Gate and the industries in various places will be greatly improved!
"Oh, yes, if the refining method of the Cloud Blasting Pill is improved, it can also be dedicated to the door, and the disciples under the immortals are still very good to use."
Li Ping'an thought so, and his figure quietly drifted away.
Half an hour later.
There was a loud bang, and the mountain shook.
Qingsu set off again, rushed to the underground secret room and brought Li Ping'an back, and then took out the thin quilt that was always prepared, and tucked the quilt for Li Ping'an.
[Master's Love].
Qingsu looked at Li Ping'an's side face, and suddenly felt that Li Ping'an was quite cute after falling asleep.
Taking advantage of Li Ping'an's drowsiness, Qingsu was slightly short, and a thin finger slowly moved forward, poked lightly on Li Ping'an's face, and pinched Li Ping'an's nose.
"The skin of the male cultivator is indeed thicker than that of the female cultivator."
Qing Su nodded slowly, took out a jade talisman, and wrote two lines of small characters.
Then, she used a ray of fairy light to sweep away the traces left on Li Ping'an's face and went back to the inner hall to rest.
Li Ping'an was in a coma for more than ten hours, and when he woke up, his soul was clear and transparent.
"A new way to help you sleep."
He said self-deprecatingly, summarized and sorted out the problems that arose in this experiment, and seriously thought about solutions.
If the flow of time here is a thousand times faster, it can be seen that Li Ping'an's figure stops and goes from all over the cave, and the style of the Taoist robe on his body changes from time to time, he is meditating, thinking, contemplating, and experimenting most of the time, and only when Mu Ningning occasionally comes over, Li Ping'an will take a break.
The years of cultivation are empty.
Yun Zhongzi was waiting for Li Ping'an to think very quietly, and Li Ping'an did not move for eight months.
Kong Ming Lao Dao was extremely happy, he finally had the opportunity to listen to his teacher's sermon and teach the Fa again.
Li Dazhi didn't take this matter to heart later, and put all his efforts on the expansion plan of Zhuyun Hall.
Zhuyuntang really needs to expand its operations.
The visit of Xu Sheng's seniors made the first branch of Zhuyun Hall officially put on the agenda.
In order to dispel Wanyun Sect's concerns, when Li Dazhi euphemistically proposed the contract, Xu Sheng agreed without thinking about it, and also used the strength of wine to gamble on the curse, if he Kui Yuanzong lost Wanyun Sect, the disciples of the sect would not be immortal.
Such a heavy oath can already affect one's own Dao heart.
Li Dazhi took the opportunity to come up with a detailed plan and determined the steps for the first branch.
About two years later, Wanyun Sect will set up the first branch of Zhuyun Hall in Kui Yuanzong, which is held by two sects, Wanyun Sect will take 20% of the profits, and Kui Yuanzong will hand over one-third of his magic weapon shop to Wanyun Sect to take care of it in a unified manner.
Li Dazhi has great ambitions.
The market for low-end mortal magic weapons has been successful, and Li Dazhi next wants to take advantage of the heritage of Kui Yuanzong's 'Famous Refining Instrument Sect' to open a high-end magic weapon brand.
Li Dazhi can handle this kind of thing by himself, and he doesn't need to arrange Li Ping'an to do anything.
Li Ping'an's experience is still far away.
For a power as powerful as Yun Zhongzi, as long as he wanted to, thousands of years could pass by like a snap of his fingers, and it would not affect his Dao heart.
Yun Zhongzi An was waiting steadily in the back mountain of Wanyun Sect, waiting for an opportunity for Li Ping'an to go out.
'Can this young man not go out of the mountains for twenty years?' ’
Cloud neutrons don't believe in themselves.
Li Ping'an's cultivation on the Weiming Peak became more and more regular.
Master Qingsu preached for him once a month, and there was an explosion and shaking in the cave house about every half month, and the priest's sister came once every ten days, sometimes staying for a few days.
The only thing that distracted Li Ping'an was actually Mu Ningning.
No way, he's a normal man;
A little junior sister who is like a flower sticks to herself every day, and not being distracted is really a problem.
More than half a year after returning to the door from the East China Sea, Li Ping'an finally found an opportunity to take out the improved Cloud Blasting Pill refining method and hand it over to the door.
At the same time, there was also the self-made alchemy set he made.
Li Ping'an himself didn't expect that his offering of treasure this time directly alarmed the founding ancestor of the mountain inside the door-Kongming Ancestor.
In the bamboo forest of the mountain behind the main peak.
The head of the sect and Li Dazhi stood aside with their heads bowed, Li Dazhi was holding a tray, and the two Cloud Bursting Pills that were originally placed in the tray had fallen into the hands of Yun Zhongzi and Kong Ming Ancestor.
Yun Zhongzi looked carefully, his eyes were a little brighter, and he said with a smile:
"What an ingenious idea, I can actually think of using the method of refining weapons to assist the Wanyun Sect's cloud control technique, so that it can not only save mana, but also surprise when fighting the law."
Obviously, after more than half a year of observation, Yun Zhongzi's interest in Li Ping'an has increased instead of decreasing.
Li Dazhi bowed down and said: "Senior, you have praised it, he just likes to be foolish." ”
Yun Zhongzi smiled: "Fooling is also a kind of ability, why can't others figure it out?" ”
He tossed the cloud blasting pellet aside, and with a slight urge, it exploded a large cloud of mist.
Yun Zhongzi looked happy, blew lightly, and the cloud dissipated on its own.
He said slowly: "What pleases me most about Ping An is his whimsical ideas, and his refining ideas are completely different from ours. ”
Kong Ming, who was sitting at the bottom of the head, said with a smile: "Teacher, what you said is that the disciples should also think about how to reward peace this time. ”
The head of the man standing next to him hurriedly said: "Master, I'll reward you for some cultivation." ”
"Huh!"
Kongming Lao Dao intends to please his teacher, how can he let Yunmo casually perfunctory Li Ping'an?
Kong Ming said: "There is great ambition to pass on the gong in peaceful practice, and there is no shortage of great ambition for cultivation, so what is the use of your reward?" In this way, Dazhi, you take the teacher to the Qingsu Cave Mansion, and I will go to give peace the innate supernatural powers of the human race. ”
Li Dazhi was stunned, and then hurriedly thanked him.
Talented!
Master wants to consume his own cultivation and give peace a natural supernatural power!
