Half a month later, in the auspicious square of Jiuwan Island, Shu Changsheng was dressed in white and held a fan, like a student in the world, and stepped on the boat to leave this place.

When he left the port, another treasure ship slowly sailed over, and according to the instructions of the pilot flag, it went to the berth on the east side of Jiuwan Island.

The ship, flying a striking apricot yellow flag, quickly overtook other ships to enter the harbor first.

It was a treasure ship carrying new disciples.

The big exam season of Jixiang Sect was in June, Shu Changsheng took the big exam here, reviewed, and stayed at home temporarily, making enough preparations for traveling far away, and before he knew it, more than two months had passed, and it came to August.

This is the time when a new batch of schoolchildren worship the mountain gate and join the outer gate of the Jixiang Sect.

During this period, people from all walks of life will send children from afar to learn art, and the Dengxian Yuan of the Jixiang Sect is unprecedentedly busy, to register and register the qualified candidates, and the Shuzheng Yuan is also busy arranging the lives of these new disciples.

Some of the successful students have to be busy between the auspicious square and the academy to ensure that these new juniors adapt to life in their later years.

However, in the secular land, people's livelihood is difficult, and many of these school-age children are orphans, or young sons and concubines from poor backgrounds.

The Jixiang Sect only needs to ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing, and there is little interference from these children's families or other external factors.

Within a month or two, they will be able to integrate into their new life and then try to get into a state of learning.

"Alas, I really envy those fellow disciples who have obtained the qualifications of teachers and can travel around and preach, but those of us who do not have the qualifications of spiritual roots and have no qualifications as teachers can only stay here and do these jobs of taking care of children. ”

"Forget it, Senior Brother Cai, didn't we come here like this back then, I don't know why, I looked at these children, and I remembered sixteen years ago. ”

"Oh, sixteen years ago, I remember you were crying. ”

"Go, I don't know who cried and shouted to go home, to find my mother......"

The two official disciples of the Jixiang Sect, who had already graduated, joked with each other and walked out of the schoolchildren's residence.

There are special servants and housekeepers in charge here, and they don't have to worry about laundry, cooking, firewood and boiling water, but it really takes a little effort to arrange these trivial things properly.

At this moment, an inner disciple dressed in white walked up.

The two hurriedly saluted: "Senior Brother Lin." ”

Senior Brother Nalin nodded and said to them: "Don't complain, don't you even have to come out to help us, the sect intends to train our ability to handle these trivial matters, just like those elites who go out to travel." ”

The two disciples said, "I'll understand. ”

These people do not have spiritual root qualifications, and their future is in the world, and they really can't be as chic and free as the immortal masters.

In the future, I can't say that I have the opportunity to enter the incense workshop, serve as an incense master, or make offerings, and I have a group of workers and handymen under my hands, and I can't understand anything.

Senior Brother Lin changed his words, and suddenly said: "In this case, you have to have a lot of experience to do it, I have a dossier here, which is the determination of the age, height, and weight of the new disciples, fill it in for me." ”

"Huh?"

......

Time passes, the years go by, and it is another spring and autumn.

Under the mountain gate, as soon as the sky was bright, a trumpet sounded, and the college steward opened the dormitory door one by one, letting out the Mengtong to get up and wash.

Soon after, they walked briskly and walked up the mountain trails, between the boardwalks that connected the peaks.

The clouds and mist between the peaks, like the rushing sea, some places the bridge is long and narrow, it is intimidating to look at, the seniors who have long been accustomed to it easily cross, the new children are afraid, but under the continuous encouragement and drive, it is still successfully completed one by one.

As the sun began to rise, the disciples who had already moved their muscles and bones talked and laughed, and went to the dining hall in the back mountain in groups to eat.

About two or three quarters passed, the heavy bell rang, and at the end of the day, the day's lessons began.

Senior Brother Lin has now joined the academy and has become a new teacher, standing in the classroom with his hands behind his back, condescendingly looking down on the Mengtong he is responsible for.

Those were the apprentices of the second year class of the Outer Court of the Jixiang Sect, and they happened to be the new disciples who had entered the school in September last year and had visited them.

"Today I will teach you to know new words, one, ten, hundred, thousand, thousand, jin, two ......"

The Meng Tong opened the books and identified them one by one.

"One, ten, hundred, thousand, thousand, jin, two......"

"Your sect's course is really unique, and there seem to be a lot of things worth learning from my sect!"

Outside the classroom, a middle-aged beautiful woman in a brocade dress visited the room under the guidance of several deacons of Qintianyuan, and heard the movement inside through the door and window, and couldn't help but think thoughtfully.

The deacon of the Qintian Monastery said with a smile: "Our sect has always pursued the policy of having education and no kind, and all those who enter this sect will be given the foundation of literacy and arithmetic, and even if they have nothing to learn, they can also understand reason and be literate. ”

The middle-aged beautiful woman said, "Can you tell me about the purpose of dividing each grade of your sect?"

The deacon of the Qintian Monastery said, "This is the original creation of the sect master, which is intended to break the traditional link between the foundation of the spiritual peak and the attempt to give and receive. ”

He was born in one year, mostly with education rules, accustomed to the sect, knowing common sense of life and respecting the elderly.

Born in two years, literate and hyphenation, simple arithmetic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Three-year students, sentence formation, composition.

After more than four years, students continue to deepen their knowledge of modern texts and cover various knowledge commonly used in daily life.

After more than six years, students are taught arts and sciences, crafts, and general studies, and gradually transferred to special training.

Those who have completed this course are enough to become qualified apprentices of the incense workshop and participate in the labor, and if they continue their studies and complete six years of higher education, they are craftsmen and can be appointed as craftsmen or stewards of the incense workshop. ”

The middle-aged beautiful woman said: "I have also heard a little about this matter, it is said that those who have the qualification of spiritual root in your sect must complete twenty years of study, so those above these sixteen years are the learning of teachers, which is enough to be a famous teacher." ”

There are also those who do not have spiritual roots, and they are also given the status of inner disciples, and they are allowed to be famous. ”

The deacon of Qintian Academy showed a proud look on his face and said: "Yes, we are from this background, although we dare not call it full of economy, but after twenty years of study, the foundation is definitely far deeper than those scattered cultivation in the reckless rivers and lakes, if you get the inheritance of the Dao Law and teach each other, you can quickly master it." ”

"That's why I'm here to observe and learn!" said the middle-aged beauty.

The traditional immortal sects are not resting on their laurels, on the contrary, they are very interested in new sects such as the Jixiang sect, and most of them have noticed the model they have innovated.

One of the most eye-catching achievements is that the Jixiang Sect has completely eradicated the poison of the sect and the issue of the division of the Lingfeng blessed land.

All rights and interests belong to the sect, Taoism, and law, all of which are highly concentrated.

The second is the problem of the upbringing of disciples, the incense road is rising like the sun, it is very popular, and there is the rise of the incense market, which complements each other.

Whether it is an apprentice of the incense shop, a craftsman, or a formal incense maker, the incense monk, can all have their own place, and recently there are even many special appraisers who control the right to speak in the incense market.

This middle-aged beautiful woman, who has recently befriended the Jixiang Sect, is a disciple of an overseas immortal sect called Lingbao Sect, and she was ordered to observe and study, and she was really impressed by this.

She is really envious of the status of the Jixiang Sect in the Incense Dao, the Lingbao Sect does not have such a good thing, among the Dao, there are many sects and factions at the same level as them, and there is no infighting, and there is no unity.

—————

However, she also understands that the incense path and the instrument path are different after all, which should be measured by comprehensively considering the development history of the two daos, the current scale, etc., and cannot be generalized.

There are some things that are envied and envied, and there is really no way to emulate them.

When everyone left the academy, the middle-aged beautiful woman solemnly said to the deacon of Qintian Academy: "I want to meet your sect master, when will we be able to meet each other?"

"Well, the sect master went out to visit friends, but he still hasn't returned, and I don't know when he will come back, so I can only ask the honored guest to wait for a while. ”

"Well, well, I'll wait until the end of the month at most, and you'll follow suit, and you'd better set an exact date. ”

That being said, she really didn't have anything to do with Li Zhen.

Today's Li Zhen is a guest of all parties, and the row is very large, and Lingbaozong has repeatedly accepted orders for customized incense burners, incense sachets, incense seals and other utensils from the Jixiang Sect, and has regarded him as an important customer.

This is a big order of one sect and one faction, even if it does not involve the part of the magic weapon, it has been quite considerable over the years.

In addition to these factors, the status of the foundation building monks is also much higher than theirs, and it is not so easy to meet.

"Chirp...... Tweet ......"

At this moment, at the mountain gate of Jixiangzong, above the main peak, a colorful rare bird with wings like neon flew by.

It resembles a parrot, but it is slender and has a long tail that resembles a peacock.

For a time, the brilliance was sprinkled and fragrant everywhere.

The crowd below raised their heads with a bit of emotion.

"That's the Sect Master's bird!"

"Year by year, it's getting bigger and bigger!"

Listening to the emotion of the entourage, the middle-aged beauty didn't know what she thought, she laughed secretly, and then said in surprise: "Your sect master is back?"

The deacon of Qintianyuan said: "Yes, it's really a coincidence, please wait a while, I'll ask, if everything goes well, I should be able to meet you tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!"

Soon after, the errand runner came back to report the news, and if Li Zhen came back, he could meet Lingbaozong and his party on the second day.

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard the news, and went back to prepare not to mention it.

On the floating cloud platform, Li Zhen gently stroked the back of the upside-down bird that smelled the fragrance, and was quick to pick one of the colorful feathers that was about to fall off due to natural growth, and put it away.

"Chirp!" The upside-down bird looked at Li Zhen with a little dissatisfaction, but soon, he was attracted by the passion fruit in Li Zhen's hand.

Li Zhen handed the fruit into the beak of the bird, and then entered the house.

"This trip to give a gift to Mrs. Yu, thank her for all these years of care, I never thought I would get a spiritual material, and I don't know what the name is, it is said to be a fragrant stone from Liuzhou. ”

This time, he made a special trip to the Luosi Dojo to give Mrs. Yu his newly refined Three Treasures Floating Fragrance Pill.

Over the years, the age of the human face tree has gradually increased, and it is finally able to send out a pill that is full of years and has a little usefulness.

He handed it over to the money auction, and the quality was secondary, and the best ones were picked out and given as gifts.

Mrs. Yu is so young that she doesn't have to go to any auction to compete for this kind of small object that can only increase her life for one or two decades.

The first is that most of them have already eaten the same kind of things, and they continue to take it, which is of little use, and the second is that the roots are really deep, and some are worshiped and flattered by juniors like Li Zhen.

Sure enough, Mrs. Yu casually gave the elixir to the red fish who was following her, apparently because it was of little use to her.

But she was also satisfied with Li Zhen's heart and gave her a spiritual material-level stone.

Mu Qingsi heard it inside, and couldn't help but smile faintly: "Xiangshi, it's really the biggest in the world, and there are no surprises." ”

Li Zhen said: "Yes, there is also incense in the stone, which I have included in the "Incense Ceremony", but even I myself am now seeing the real thing for the first time, and now I have the opportunity to conduct real research."

However, it is not too late, and after I have identified the fragrance and mastered the physical properties, another category will be completed, and my incense will be more complete and rich. ”

He said that the incense stone, "Hong Pu" has a record, there was an old mother found a kind of stone called aragonite, brilliant and lovely, accidentally dropped it on fire, the smell of different fragrance in the near and far, so the treasure and heavy put away, as a treasure.

This kind of incense stone is as fragrant as ever, and it will not be consumed as easily as those wood materials, and it is a strange thing with very obvious characteristics.

Li Zhen is interested in studying this kind of thing, and if he obtains a spiritual treasure, he will store incense for a long time, and it will definitely be of great use.

However, with the power of the Jixiang Sect, if you want to collect the world's rare spiritual treasures for your own use, it is a fool's dream.

He is now just a foundation building monk, and he still relies on a person with a deep background like Mrs. Yu.

"Liuzhou is in the West Sea, many mountains and rivers accumulate stones, named Kunwu, smelt its stone into iron, make a sword and light hole, such as water essence, cut jade such as cutting mud, also Rao Xianjia.

If I have the chance, I really want to walk around and travel the world, but at least I have to wait until I get married.

Only after the knot, the supernatural ability becomes stronger, can you deal with all kinds of risks during the journey, and you can be at ease.

Moreover, at present, there is no candidate who can inherit my mantle from the Jixiang Sect, and at least it will take a hundred and ten years before the disciples can successfully build the foundation before they can choose a successor from it. ”

Mu Qingsi smiled: "I've heard you talk about remote thoughts, when the time comes, will you step down from the position of sect master and retreat into the background?"

Li Zhen said: "Yes, when the time comes, you and I will both be Supreme Elders, and we will go out to travel!"

In fact, there is also a vague truth in this, if the monk wants to go further, he often works hard and consumes his spirit for all kinds of trivial matters.

Li Zhen has positioned himself as the ancestor of the Xiangxiang Sect, and he will continue to seek the Tao in the future and explore the direction for the cultivation of the entire Xiangdao.

This is a more important thing, but it will take a hundred years to be able to do it.
