Chapter Thirty-Seven: Another Apprentice
There are three thousand avenues, and different paths lead to the same end, but the way of heaven is ruthless, and the road of cultivation is bumpy, so the path of cultivation is the most important inheritance.
The Dharma comes first, and this Dharma is the Dharma of cultivation.
Nowadays, the aura of the human world is thin, and cultivation is even more difficult, in order to better compete for resources, every cultivator often cherishes himself, and rarely leaves a legacy easily, but the yearning for the way of heaven is what anyone yearns for, so the scattered cultivation was born.
The so-called casual cultivation is a monk who has no inheritance and practices alone by virtue of his exploration of the classics of his predecessors. However, if you can be the last person to fix words, you still have a small harvest, like Du Ruhui, at best, you can only be regarded as a scattered person.
Du Ruhui was born during the war years of the last century, when technology was just emerging, and there were all kinds of folklore about monks in the land of China, so he quickly became interested in monasticism.
However, interest is interest, and monks are easy to see for ordinary people, so with enthusiasm, Du Ruhui embarked on the road of solitary exploration.
Tao can be the way, very the way, the name can be famous, the very name, this is the beginning of the Tao Te Ching, the first Tao refers to the method of practicing the truth, non-constant Tao, which means that the Tao is not eternal, but varies from person to person, the mystery and the mystical door, all kinds of cultivation methods are ever-changing, if there is no inheritance, it is like a blind man touching an elephant.
Although Du Ruhui has been immersed in the path of cultivation for decades, it is useless to have no way, and with the increase of age and the decline of human body functions, he has no more energy to devote to cultivation.
By chance, Du Ruhui got this Panlong Ding at an overseas auction, and he still had this vision, and at first glance he knew that the Ding of the Dao was related to the cultivator.
I thought to myself, don't I know the method of cultivating the truth, this Ding must be a treasure for the cultivator, it is better to use this treasure to lure the cultivator out, so I waited outside this Qingyang Palace to get up, and this guard guarded Qin Zheng.
Du Ruhui recounted his experience while looking at Qin Zheng with bright eyes. After decades of not being able to follow the path of cultivation, he finally saw a living monk with his own eyes, not to mention the excitement and joy in Du Ruhui's heart.
He looked at the national treasure with a look, Rao is Qin Zheng has already prepared, but he still can't help but be a little speechless, and then there is still a dilemma.
Originally, he shouted to Old Man Du for Pan Longding, taking things for nothing is not his usual style, and Qi Cultivation Pill is not a precious thing, Old Man Du obviously has a little understanding of the cultivation world, he doesn't want money, then he will share some Qi Cultivation Pill with him, but seeing his expression at this time, it is not something that Qi Cultivation Pill can be distributed.
It's difficult, it's very difficult. Qin Zheng has the method of cultivation, not only does it exist, but there are a lot of it, each of which can be said to be mysterious and abnormal, but when it comes out like this, Qin Zheng is unwilling.
What does a mysterious cultivation method mean to a cultivator, Qin Zheng is very clear, for the sake of the Nine Dragons Jade, the Xuanyuan family kidnapped his wife Sun Yuehong, isn't it just to get the ancient cultivation method in the Nine Dragons Jade, of course, the real secret of the Nine Dragons Jade is not just the cultivation of immortals.
If people know that he still has other cultivation techniques in his hands, you can imagine how much trouble it is, Yuehong has already left, and Qin Zheng doesn't want to see his family have any more accidents because of this.
Qin Zheng was silent, but Old Man Du kept paying attention to his expression, and a lot of his age was not in vain, and it was immediately clear that Qin Zheng was not going to agree to his request. This is absolutely not good, after decades, I finally saw a cultivator with my own eyes, and if I missed this opportunity, I would never have a chance again.
Old man Du thought in his heart, and suddenly knelt in front of Qin Zheng with a puff.
"Old man, what are you doing. Qin Zheng thought that Old Man Du suddenly knelt down, he had commanded the Three Realms and Six Realms in the Flood Desolation Realm, and all the immortals under his command were respectful when they saw him, but this is the human realm, Old Man Du is a lot older, when his grandfather is more than enough, how can he afford him to kneel, "Old man, you get up quickly, if you have something to say, let's talk slowly." With that, Qin Zheng went to help.
Old man Du shook his head vigorously: "Qin Daoyou, no, Master, if you don't accept me, I won't get up." ”
Looking at Qin Zheng, Old Man Du said in a slow but firm tone: "I know that Daoist Qin Daoyou are embarrassed, the cultivation method is the foundation of a cultivator, and he has never shown it, but Daoist Qin, you have also seen it, I don't have a few days to live." I'm not afraid of death, my cultivation is not for immortality. I am seventy-six years old this year, and I have been interested in the way of heaven since I was a teenager, but the way of heaven is ruthless, even if I spend a lifetime of time, I can't find the way, and now one foot has stepped into the coffin, and I am unwilling to die in the loess. Master, please accept me. ”
Old man Du's eyes were red, and his eyes were full of regret.
Practice, steal yin and yang, is to compete with the sky, ordinary people only know that the monks are free, but the difficulties are not enough for outsiders, the old man Du has exhausted his life's energy on this road, and it can be said that he wasted his time.
However, he still has no regrets, he is bent on one day being able to touch the threshold, and now, this opportunity is in front of him, just like a drowning man grabbing the last straw, he is determined to seize this opportunity.
Of course, he also knew that it was impossible for Lu Dao to let Qin Zheng pass on his cultivation of the Fa for no reason, so he immediately knelt down and worshiped Qin Zheng as a teacher, regardless of the others. In terms of age, he has grown up to Qin Zheng for several rounds, but he can learn from those who are big and small, and it is not a shame to recognize Qin Zheng as a master, not only is it not shameful, but it can even be said to have great benefits.
Qin Zheng was stunned!
Although Jiulong Jade has brought Qin Zheng a lot of trouble, it is more of a great opportunity, the path of cultivation is extremely difficult for others, but it is only a matter of time for him, as Old Man Du said, the route of scattering people is beyond his imagination.
Squinting his eyes, Qin Zheng thought about it for a while, and said, "Du Ruhui, do you really sincerely worship me as a teacher?"
A change in title means that Qin Zheng has moved, Old Man Du couldn't hear it, and hurriedly said in joy: "Sincerity, 10,000 sincerity, Master, please accept the disciple's worship." "I was afraid that Qin Zheng would change his mind, so he kowtowed to Qin Zheng three times in a row.
Qin Zheng stood still, accepted his kowtow, and waited for Old Man Du to finish kowtowing, and then said slowly: "Since you worship under my door, you have to abide by the rules of my door, one of which is to respect the teacher and respect the way, and not betray the teacher, otherwise even if you hide to the ends of the earth, you will not be spared." ”
Old man Du said respectfully, "Yes, Master!" Waiting for Qin Zheng's next words.
However, Qin Zheng didn't have anything to do, even this first point was improvised by him. Besides, although Old Man Du has only just met, judging from the gift of Ding and his own experience, he doesn't look like a treacherous person, and Qin Zheng still has this point of looking at people.
In addition to conduct, there are also qualifications, such as the innate Taoist body has a crucial impact on cultivation, and the result is twice the result with half the effort, but Old Man Du is not among them, but Qin Zheng is still accepting it, yes, qualifications are very important, but the efforts of the day after tomorrow are equally important, there is no shortcut to practice, it depends on hard work, Old Man Du can persist even if he does not touch the threshold for decades, what perseverance, where there is a will, there is a way, Qin Zheng intends to fulfill him.
Moreover, in the face of the enemy of the Xuanyuan family, it is impossible for him to single-handedly knock over this huge enemy, and he also needs a helper, accepting Xichuan Hongmen is one, and accepting apprentices is also one.
"Okay, that's all I have to say. He said, "Get up." ”
"Yes, Master!" Old Man Du stood up suddenly, there is a way that people are in good spirits when they are happy, and the old man Du who is old at this time seems to have changed as a person, and his spirit has changed a lot.
After enjoying himself for a while, Old Man Du asked, "Master, look, when will you teach your disciples the cultivation method?"
It stands to reason that Old Man Du shouldn't be so eager, he just entered the master's door, and he didn't have any credit and hard work, so he thought that Qin Zheng would teach him the cultivation method, but he was in a hurry. After decades, I finally saw the hope of touching the Dao, and I can't wait to be able to learn the Taoist secret texts and appreciate the magic of the Heavenly Dao.
Fortunately, Qin Zheng didn't mind, he had to teach him the method of cultivation after accepting an apprentice, but he thought that he had also accepted Sun Shaotang, the youngest son of Sun Laoer, as an apprentice, one was to teach, and the two were also released, so it was better to teach them together, saving more time, so he said: "You have to wait first, you still have a senior brother, wait for him to come over, and I will pass on the two of you together." ”
Old man Du said curiously: "Master, I still have a senior brother?"
"Senior brother, well, you do have a senior brother!" The first to enter is the elder, Sun Shaotang is indeed the senior brother of Old Man Du, but one is a yellow-haired child, and the other is a drooping old man, but his identity has been reversed, and Lao Suo still has to call Xiao'er a senior brother, that scene must be very interesting, thinking of this, Qin Zheng couldn't help but smile.
Old man Du didn't think much about it, I still have a senior brother, it's good to have a senior brother, the master has the majesty of the master, if there is a problem on the road of cultivation in the future, how can I ask the senior brother for everything, you can ask the senior brother for a small question, thinking about it like this, the old man is also happy, and said: "Master, then I will wait for the senior brother to come." ”
Qin Zheng said: "You don't have to be in a hurry, your senior brother will come over soon." ”
The reason why he didn't bring Sun Shaotang to Tiandu City before was because he had to face the enemy of the Xuanyuan family, and now that the other party had taken the fake Nine Dragon Jade, he would definitely have to test the exercises inside, and he would not trouble himself in a short time.
However, once the other party came to the door, it was not so easy to calculate last time, because the three exercises he put in the fake Nine Dragon Jade had made minor changes, and after cultivating to the extreme, it was the result of a violent body and death, and at that time, the Xuanyuan family must have been eager to kill him. And even if the Xuanyuan family doesn't look for him, he has to find trouble with the other party, and the revenge of Yuehong's death must be avenged, so taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Qin Zheng wants to develop his own power.
Qin Zheng's answer made Old Man Du even more happy, he has been waiting for decades, and he will wait for two more days to wait completely, since this is the case, the main thing at the moment is to give a good impression to the master, thinking of this, he couldn't help but say: "By the way, Master, you went to Qingyang Palace to buy a furnace for alchemy, I don't know what kind of pill you are refining, if there is any lack of materials or something, you command, and the disciple will go to collect it immediately." ”
