Chapter 5: Difficulty
"No, I want to try it myself. Shen Luo smiled and said.
He still remembers that more than a year ago, he went to ask Luo Daoren to teach him the art of talismans, and Master Luo, who was gentle to him on weekdays, directly refused with his sleeves, even if he offered a sky-high price of two hundred gold, the other party was still unmoved.
Master Luo made it clear that the talisman technique taught by Guan Li was not a trick used by charlatans to deceive people, but a real secret technique that only inner disciples with mana could practice, not to mention that he was a registered disciple, even a formal outer disciple didn't have to think about it.
"Cheng, I'll bring it to you. Bai Xiaotian listened and nodded.
"If you can, let's see if you can get some rooster blood and black dog blood in the restaurant. Shen Luo saw that he was leaving, and added.
"I know you often read some miscellaneous books, but those things written by literati and miscellaneous writers, don't take it too seriously......" Bai Xiaotian frowned and said.
He is one of the only three inner disciples in the sect, and naturally he can access the true talisman technique, but the rules are strict, no matter how good he is with Shen Luo, he will not leak a single bit.
"Don't worry, I have my own sense of proportion, and I won't mess around. Shen Luo yawned and replied vaguely.
Bai Xiaotian knew that persuasion was useless, so he had no choice but to raise his hand and turn to leave.
Shen Luo watched his figure disappear into the mountains and forests, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
He knew that the other party was worried that he would go astray and persuaded him with good intentions, but his situation was only clear to him.
It's not that he is bent on engaging in these sideways, it's that his longevity is limited, forcing him to find another way.
The Yin Qi invasion of his body more than two years ago had destroyed the root of his vitality, and in the past two years, he has relied more on the "Red Snow Scatter" every three months to maintain his vitality.
Even so, he still feels that his body is getting worse, and he will be a little out of breath when he walks a little more on weekdays, especially last winter, when he was wearing a fur coat, he still felt cold in his body and his limbs were cold.
And the reason why he only took a pair of medicines in March was not that he couldn't take out the hundred taels of silver, but that he could maximize the effect of this medicine, and drinking it more frequently would not only be wasteful, but also likely to be inadequate, and Master Luo would not allow it.
As for cultivating Xiaohua Yang Gong, his entry into the realm was too slow, and he had only just started until today, but his cultivation speed was not even comparable to the outer disciples with the worst foundation in Guannei. Moreover, according to Master Luo, even if this method is a great success, it can only increase the longevity of one or twenty years at most.
But with his own cultivation speed, I am afraid that he will not have a chance to achieve great success at all, so he may be able to return to the west first.
He spent so much money to come to this mountain Taoist temple, not just to live a few more years.
Shen Luo thought to himself and walked slowly down the mountain.
The Spring and Autumn View is backed by Qinghua Mountain, the whole is built according to the mountain, except for the mountain gate close to the mountainside, the rest of the Lingguan Hall and the Jade Emperor Hall and other buildings are distributed according to the mountain, layer by layer, the most important Sanqing Hall is located on the top of the mountain.
In addition to the inner disciples, the rest of the disciples stay in the quiet room, concentrated in the mountain gate to the Lingguan Hall on both sides of the mountain road on the three mountainside cliffs, because the terrain here is quite open, basically everyone can use one alone.
There is not much discipline on the cultivation of the disciples in the Guanli, except for a specific teaching day, when all the disciples need to go to the Sanqing Hall together to listen to Master Luo and other elders explain the Taoist classics, the rest of the time there is no need to do morning classes together.
Anyway, the Xiaohua Yang Gong in the view has already been distributed to each disciple, and everyone can practice on their own according to their qualifications.
Shen Luo's place of cultivation was not far from the Jade Emperor Palace, and he had already returned to the square in front of the palace at this moment.
Approaching the temple gate, he did not enter the temple, but only made a joke outside the hall, and after resting his feet, he turned around and wanted to leave along the stone steps in the direction of descending the mountain.
"Isn't this Senior Brother Shen, I'm back from practice, how is it? Have you started Xiaohua Yang Gong?" At this time, a rather familiar voice came out from the hall.
Shen Luo sighed in his heart and turned around.
As he expected, it was the Senior Brother Ding who didn't deal with him very well on weekdays, and before he crossed the threshold, a big shy belly had already poked out of the temple door first.
Behind him, there were two young men in green sermon robes, one holding a broom in his hand and the other carrying a bucket, as if he had just finished his duty homework.
"I've met a few senior brothers. Shen Luo already had a warm smile on his face, and bowed to a few people.
"Senior Brother Shen, it's not me saying you, Xiaohua Yang Gong cultivation, don't rush for quick success, although Senior Brother hasn't been able to get started for two years, don't be too anxious, after all, the coming day is long, this qualification is useless, it's useless to be anxious, it's ...... to continue to work hard" Senior Brother Ding saw that he was polite for several weeks, and he didn't want to say anything, first pretended to be relieved, and then preached with the posture of a senior brother.
"Thank you, Senior Brother, I have been lucky to get started today, and Senior Brother Bai has also helped me confirm it. Shen Luo blinked and replied seemingly casually.
"What...... What, you've already started? Bai Xiaotian also knows?" Senior Brother Ding was stunned, and his face suddenly became a little ugly.
The other two young men also looked at Shen Luo in surprise, their eyes full of surprise.
After all, they were clear about Shen Luo's situation, otherwise they wouldn't have made no progress after two years of penance.
According to their private speculation, with Shen Luo's figure, he may not be able to enter the door for another three or five years.
Shen Luo had expected the reaction of several people, but he didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded.
A touch of depression flashed in Senior Brother Ding's eyes. If Bai Xiaotian didn't know, he could still hide the matter first, and then try to cancel the bet, but the other party already knew, and the previous bet was really lost.
"If there is nothing to do, the junior brother will not disturb the senior brothers on duty. Shen Luo smiled and arched his hand at the three of them.
"Slow down, Senior Brother Shen, don't be in a hurry to go, although Bai Xiaotian has already confirmed, but after all, he hasn't been in the house for a long time, so it's hard to guarantee that he won't look away, why don't you let Senior Brother help you confirm it again?" Senior Brother Ding squinted his eyes and said with a smile.
When Shen Luo heard this, he suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart.
This Senior Brother Ding actually has nothing to do with him, but he has a deep contradiction with Bai Xiaotian.
There is no other reason, Ding Hua, the younger brother of Senior Brother Ding Yuan, is also a disciple of the Spring and Autumn Guan, and like Bai Xiaotian, he is the only three core disciples in the Guan.
Among them, Ding Hua studied under Guan Zhu, Bai Xiaotian studied under Luo Daoren, and one person studied under Wang Shibo, all three of them are the ones with the highest cultivation qualifications in Guan Zhong, and they are naturally more energetic with each other.
"I don't think it's necessary, senior brother is busy with his homework, so you don't have to worry about me. The smile on Shen Luo's face retracted.
Although he is polite on weekdays, he is not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others.
He knew in his heart when to be tougher and when to back down.
"Senior Brother Shen, how can you talk to Senior Brother Ding? Senior Brother is also very kind. When a person behind Ding Yuan heard this, he said with a straight face.
