Chapter 40: Splitting the Empty Palm
Leave the main hall.
Li Muxuan walked to the dining hall with a smile on his face.
Although he failed to become a librarian, Master Zuo Ruotong put him in charge of cleaning the library.
In a sense.
The caretaker and the sweeper are actually not much different, after all, they can enter and exit freely.
In this regard, Li Muxuan was also satisfied, he went to the library pavilion, not for any power in the door, as long as he could read books, he didn't care what position he did.
Soon, he came to the door of the dining hall.
But before he could walk in, he ran into Lu Jin, who was running towards him.
"Brother Li, you're here just in time."
Seeing Li Muxuan, Lu Jin's eyes suddenly lit up.
After receiving the guidance of the water cloud.
He was about to go to the other party to talk about the martial arts competition, but he didn't expect to meet so coincidentally.
Immediately, Lu Jin didn't have the slightest intention of beating around the bush, and said directly: "Regarding the competition, I thought about your words, and my previous approach was really unfair. ”
"That's it, Brother Li, you give me a good word."
"As long as you are willing to agree to compete with me, I will promise you no matter what conditions you offer."
"Of course, only within the scope of my ability, if the conditions are too harsh, or if they violate morality and harm the interests of others, even if I say it, I will not do it."
The voice fell.
Lu Jin looked at Li Muxuan with a serious face.
Waiting for his decision.
And at this time.
Li Muxuan, who originally just wanted to come to the dining hall for dinner, was overwhelmed by the other party's words.
He didn't expect that Lu Jin would find him so quickly, and he would directly stud all his net worth when he came up, and let himself open conditions, could it be said that he was very strong?
In the middle of my mind.
Li Muxuan looked Lu Jin up and down.
There is one thing to say.
Although the other party is one of the ten in the future, he really can't see how strong he is at his current age.
Of course, Li Muxuan will not judge people by their appearance, and looking at the other party's perseverance, he knows that if he doesn't agree, it is estimated that the other party will have to annoy him later.
I simply agreed.
Anyway, this is also what the master secretly promised, and the chips given by Lu Jin are indeed enough.
An arbitrary condition.
Let's be honest.
Not everything can be done though.
But the other party is from the famous Lu family, and he will be one of the ten guys in the future, and this promise is very valuable.
Of course, the most important thing is that Lu Jin is a man of his word and has integrity protection, otherwise if he changes to someone else, Li Muxuan will have to consider the moisture of this promise.
But before that, he still has to make sure again, so as not to regret it in the future.
"Are you sure?"
"Sure!"
Lu Jin nodded confidently.
In his opinion.
I won't lose anyway.
Even if Li Muxuan prescribes excessive conditions, it will not have any impact on himself.
"Okay." Seeing this, Li Muxuan didn't say much, and then said: "I agreed to this competition, but I haven't figured out what I want yet." ”
"It's just a promise, if I win, I can ask you to do something for me at any time in the future."
The voice fell.
Lu Jin didn't expect it and agreed directly.
"Good! That's it. ”
"Three months later, in the presence of Master and all the senior brothers, we won or lost the competition."
As he spoke, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, as if he was nine out of ten, and then he bowed his hand to Li Muxuan and said goodbye: "Brother Li, I'll go tell the master about this now." ”
"Hmm."
Li Muxuan answered and watched the other party leave.
Let's be honest.
He couldn't understand Lu Jin's self-confidence, why did he feel that the other party didn't see him as a person?
I don't look like I'm going to lose.
"Am I being looked down upon?"
Li Muxuan thought to himself, but he didn't care about it in his heart.
In his opinion, although Lu Jin's record in the comics is a little stretched, he plays high-end games, and he is facing either a heavenly master or a rootless student.
Either they were designed by others to lead out their demons, which led to a state of rage.
In general, the strength should not be underestimated.
And such a genius.
It's understandable to be a little arrogant, after all, people's talent is there, and they have the qualifications to be arrogant.
But what does all this have to do with you? For the result of this competition, whether he loses or wins in the end, Li Muxuan will not take it to heart.
He was a man who always did his best.
If you try your best, you won't be able to achieve it.
There's nothing you can do about it, just accept it calmly, it's just that your talent is not as good as others.
But he still has to continue to practice, after all, he is not cultivating to surpass anyone or compete for anything, the purpose of his cultivation has always been very pure, that is, detachment and truth-seeking.
Otherwise, it would be because of an ordinary competition.
Begin to give up on yourself?
If this is the case, then is the purpose of cultivating oneself or oneself in the eyes of others?
In the middle of my mind.
Li Muxuan walked into the dining hall to eat.
Seeing that all the senior brothers in Trinity Gate were gathered together, he took the initiative to say hello.
"Senior brothers."
"Senior brother."
Hearing this, everyone suddenly felt a little weak.
After all, not long ago, they collectively stood on Lu Jin's side, and now when they see Li Muxuan again, they always feel a little embarrassed in their hearts, as if they are isolating and bullying this new junior brother in a group.
Li Muxuan was unaware of this.
After saying hello, I went to get food.
There is one thing to say.
Compared with other Genres of Quanzhen, the food of the Trinity Gate is actually much more abundant.
It's not that Trinity is rich, but although Trinity is a true lineage, it pays attention to the integration of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, so it is relatively loose in terms of precepts.
For example, marrying a wife and having children.
The Trinity Gate adopted Confucian doctrine in this regard.
It is believed that human ethics is the common sense of heaven and earth.
If there is no husband and wife, father and son, people will be extinct, so who will cultivate in the future?
Secondly, the disciples of the Trinity Sect do not have to leave the business of agriculture and industry, thinking that if a cultivator must go to the mountain, if one person is like this, everyone is like this, then who will be engaged in production in the future, and if he does not produce, how will the cultivator live?
In a nutshell.
Trinity Gate is a door that doesn't look like a door.
On the contrary, there is a bit of Confucianism.
Everything is reasonable, and this principle is not only the reason of the heart, but also the reason of the world, and act according to reason.
Come to think of this.
Li Muxuan couldn't help but think of his master Zuo Ruotong.
Proper Trinity is a typical one.
It is better to say that he is like a Taoist priest, but no one has stipulated that Taoist priests cannot be like this.
Besides, whether it is a gentleman or a Taoist priest, it is just a title, everyone is a seeker among all living beings, is it possible that there is anyone whose Tao is superior to others?
Straight to the point.
After a simple breakfast.
Li Muxuan asked a few senior brothers where the library pavilion was, and then came all the way here.
From the outside, the Library Pavilion is no different from the other buildings in Trinity Gate.
Or rather, the whole Daomen building is about the same.
Most of the carvings or pictures on the walls and beams are the sun, moon, stars, clouds, mountains, water, rocks, turtles, cranes, bamboos, lions, unicorns, dragons, phoenixes, etc.
The moral is also very simple and straightforward.
The light shines, the mountains and seas are old, strong and immortal, immortal, gentleman, ward off evil spirits, auspicious.
Just like the word blessing posted in the people's homes, it is a yearning for beautiful things.
Immediately, Li Muxuan did not stay outside for a long time.
Walk into the library.
At this moment, an old and weak voice sounded in his ears.
"You are Senior Brother's newly accepted disciple."
Li Muxuan turned his head to look.
I saw that it was an old man in a wheelchair who spoke, and the other party looked at him with a smile.
"Disciple Li Muxuan has seen Uncle Shi."
"Hmm."
The old man bowed slightly, and then said, "Senior brother came here just now and mentioned your matter to me. ”
"In this way, in the future, you will be responsible for cleaning the second floor and the stairs, and you will come here every day, and after cleaning, you can stay here to read, or you can go out to do other things."
"If something suddenly happens one day, remember to send someone to the ward."
"Thank you, uncle."
Hearing this, Li Muxuan nodded to show that he understood.
Then he exchanged a few words of greeting, after learning what the uncle in front of him was called.
He went up to the second floor and began to clean.
Let's be honest.
The space in the library is actually not very large.
There are two floors in total.
The number of Daozang is not very large.
A rough estimate is about two or three thousand volumes, which may also include duplicates.
However, this is also normal, due to the limitations of the times, the monopoly of knowledge is serious.
Often, a large sect like Trinity has the concept of a library pavilion, and the small Taoist temple may have dozens of scriptures, and then it can only be passed on by word of mouth.
In the middle of my mind.
Li Muxuan picked up the broom and began to clean.
However, just as he swept to a corner, a booklet on the ground caught his attention.
"Splitting the Empty Palm?"
