Chapter 184: An Epistle
Putting aside how Hua Lanting and their adventures were, the time goes back to the day when the disciples were teleported to the central courtyard.
Not long after the last batch of teleportation was activated, there were several old men sitting around in a large hall in the Douji Peak.
The main hall is majestic and majestic, named "Seven True Old Law Hall", the corridor in front of the hall has nine stone steps, there is a ginkgo tree about 15 zhang high on the left side, the front eaves are arranged with six large stone columns, simple and solemn.
The bronze crane incense burner in the hall emits light smoke, in front of the statue in the center, there are two towering circular beams and pillars on the left and right, and a long arc-shaped wooden plaque is hung on each pillar.
On the left wooden plaque, it is written in gold characters: know the wonderful reason, reach the wonderful realm, unfold the wonderful way, and the wonderful power.
A column of big characters on the wooden plaque on the right side is: Enter the true door, be sincere, penetrate the true mystery, and be really comfortable.
Eight screens in the hall were surrounded, and the first person was the elder Zhou Xi, who was discussing the emergency just now.
Not long after the teleportation began, the elder in charge of the formation discovered the anomaly, knowing that there was a business in the teleportation, he and several deputies tried their best to cast spells to stabilize the large array.
The formation did not collapse in the end, but it was impossible to judge what happened to the disciples inside and whether they had teleported in place.
After the matter was quickly reported to Zhou Xi, Zhou Xi immediately summoned relevant people to wait until the Qizhen Old Law Hall to discuss the matter.
At this moment, a senior Heavenly Machine Skill from Yao Guang Peak was using the Great Yan Heavenly Machine Trick to ask about the good luck of things.
At last, the purple-faced old man raised his snow-white eyebrows and said slowly:
"Qiangua, use nine. See the dragons without a head, Ji. Dragons, dragons who dive, see, leap, and fly. The first one, the first one. Dry first. If you don't see the head, then the yang becomes yin, the rigid becomes soft, you know how to advance and retreat, you know the survival and death, you know the loss, you don't have to be poor, you don't go with the times, so you have no regrets and are lucky. ”
"Overall, it is similar to what we predicted before, although this trip is dangerous, the result is generally fine, these disciples have their own gains, but Hualan Court must have another chance, different, its fortune is self-contained, elusive. ”
"That means that the accident that happened during the teleportation is not a big problem, they are in place now, but there is no information back from the front?" Zhou Xi asked.
The purple-faced old man took out six more copper coins, made a set of complicated gestures with one hand to bring out the afterimage, and then turned his palm and patted it, looked at the distribution of the copper coins on the table and the depth of the wood, frowned slightly, and said:
"The problem is not big, there was no malicious intervention from outside forces in this accident, and their people should be near the central patio, where the sky is stirring and cannot be accurately located. ”
Zhou Xi thought for a while and said, "Pass the order, inform the other two groups of disciples not to explore and hunt for treasures after entering the transition area, and the task will be temporarily changed to find the seven people of Hualan Court who have lost contact." ”
"In addition, fourteen more people were selected from the fifty-ninth and sixtieth generations of disciples, divided into two teams, and asked the two Yaoguang Peak Zhai Masters to lead them, and sent them to the transition area, and searched along the periphery separately. Once there is news, report it immediately, and I still have to see someone know the whereabouts, so that I can feel at ease. ”
In the evening of the next day, Zhou Xi had other important matters to deal with, but after receiving a piece of news, because of the disappearance of a disciple, he had to hold a meeting in the Qizhen Hall.
It turned out that this was the case, Sheng Ge, a disciple of Tianshu Peak, was selected for the search team, and after he was teleported to the transition area, he left a letter without saying goodbye, and he has not returned yet, and his companions have not found his whereabouts.
The temporary disappearance of a sixty-generation disciple does not necessarily have to alarm Zhou Xi, but this person took the initiative to break away from the sect, although this kind of thing has not happened in the past, it has been very rare in the last few hundred years, so Zhou Xi attaches great importance to it.
The original letter is still in the local area, and the contents of the letter have been passed back. A light curtain appeared, and Zhou Xi and the others read it.
The letter reads:
By chance, I was fortunate enough to be hesitant and uneasy, and from the secular world to worship the holy land of Xianzhou Cultivation in Vientiane Gate, sighing that time flies and time flies, and it has been more than ten years so far.
During this period, the cultivation experience is mixed, and there are days when the brothers and sisters are full of spirit, fresh clothes and angry horses, and arrogant roaring rivers and lakes, and there are also several times when they fail to rush the level and are discouraged, hesitant and hesitant, and have the idea of retreating.
He once followed the division commander to gallop and practice, slashed the enemy under the horse with a spear and halberd, and roared away with a horse, and also tried the new medicine elixir to hit the south wall, and returned with a feather, and saw Jiangdong's father and elder without face, and the person on his back slowly swallowed a sullen breath in his chest.
Along the way, the transformation from an ordinary martial artist to an immortal cultivator, and the very different environment from the low-martial world to the magical land of magic, once made me feel confused and difficult.
However, after cultivating all the way to the present, I found that the training of the master's mentality and the growth of the mind are really incomparable to ordinary sects.
If there were no things to follow, everything would be beautiful.
Yu Hou followed Kaiyang Peak's master, Zhong Dingsheng, the lord of the mansion, to learn the Danxue Poison Dao.
Master's round-faced fish-eyed eyes are no more than six feet high, although there are no eyebrows and eyes, but his head is as big as a bucket, and his chest has a furrow. Master Su Wen has been keen and studious since he was a child, and he has never forgotten it, and he has become a great person.
The master is arrogant and uninhibited, slaughtering dogs and fame, carving dragon scrolls, looking down on the world, acting unexpectedly, and seeing the dragon when he haunts.
Master teaches, advocating the darkness of the day and the night, often opening the altar and speaking at night, the mouth is like a river, the tongue is full of lotus flowers, impassioned, open and close, I admire his knowledge to the five bodies to describe it as an exaggeration.
However, the Master's nature is like a fire, and evil is like hatred, adhering to the principle of using thunderbolt means, practicing the bodhisattva's heart, and attaining the fruit of the Tao under the knife, and his eyes are like a torch, which is both unique and poisonous, and all flies and dogs have nothing to hide.
When Master Zhong was furious, he was like a thunder king in the sky, his words were sharp, and all of them were stunned, stunned like a chicken, and his face was like charcoal.
Several fierce scolding and conflicts, to me like a sudden wind, the autumn water is wrinkled, for a time the sun is blown down, the remnants of the clouds are broken, the mountains are high and the moon is low, and the sky is about to fall, causing the heart of the Tao to be like ashes.
Introspection, Yu seems to be loyal, but in fact he is treacherous, gold and jade, defeated, not enterprising in practice, shallow taste, resentment under the master's authority, and drinking is a breeding belly.
As a result, they often speak unscrupulously in the middle of the same door, insinuating in order to vent their personal anger, which is called unkindness; reckless care, and turning their mouths back, which is called unrighteousness; corroding morale and shaking the heart of the Dao, it is said to be unbelievable; and at both ends of the first rat, riding on the wall to look forward to it, it is said to be unwise.
Such an unkind, unrighteous, unbeliever, and unwise person can be punished in his heart.
People don't live up to me, but I don't bear people, and the friendship between master and apprentice in the past is dusty. The past can not be admonished, the coming can still be chased, all the old debts, can be cleared at any time, unspeakable pain, once gone, this life or can be forgotten with you in the rivers and lakes, encounter in the landscape.
Sheng Ge bowed for the first hundred years.
An old man from the Thunder Punishment Hall beside Zhou Xi looked at it, and said with a cold snort:
"This son is a good writer, it can be called brilliant, every word is beautiful, and the flowers are brocade, but he doesn't say goodbye, and runs away without permission when he is on a mission, and he can initially be characterized as a traitor and absconding, and his heart can indeed be punished!"
"According to the rules of the door, the lighter punishment should also be locked and returned to the mountain to abolish the cultivation, if it is found that there is a serious behavior that is not conducive to the door, it should be punished with the death penalty of destroying the body and spirit. ”
Zhou Xi frowned, was silent for a moment, and said, "Don't rush to conclusions first." This letter seems to explain the reason, and after thinking about a lot of vague and inconsistencies, I feel that there is no specific reason for the exodus under the surface of the conflict. ”
Zhou Xi asked the person opposite: "Senior Brother Geng, are you still in retreat at the first seat of Kaiyang Peak, and his master Zhong Dingsheng Mansion Master has gone to the Central Courtyard Land, right?"
The Geng Luochen Mansion Lord of Kaiyang Peak nodded: "That's the case." ”
Zhou Xi asked again: "I don't know much about this disciple Sheng Ge, what do you Kaiyang Feng think and say about this matter?"
Geng Luochen said: "I have been in contact with this child a few times, but it is not my disciple. After hearing about this, I urgently visited Tianshu and Kaiyang Peak before I came, and learned some information from all sides. ”
"Sheng Ge was born in the secular world, and he is not a child of a family of gate valves. It is said that when he first came, he had good qualifications, he was arrogant on the outside and inside, a little withdrawn, and not gregarious enough. ”
"When he was at Tianshu Peak, his cultivation was middle and upper, and he didn't belong to the most conspicuous group, but he was also the best among the sixty generations of disciples, but his fellow disciples said that he was secretly very disappointed because of this. ”
"Later, in the peak selection assessment, he showed his talent in Dandao poison medicine, and was able to be accepted as a disciple by the Zhong Mansion Lord. ”
"You all know the personality of the Zhong Mansion Lord, everything is good, but his temperament is too irritable and irritable, he is in his vein, he is bent on going his own way, and he can't allow his subordinates to refute him. Over the years, his disciples have either adapted to it after getting used to it, or they can't bear to ask for a different master. ”
"At the beginning, Sheng Ge's Dan medicine training was passed on by the previous generation of senior brothers, and it was nothing, and his grades were also very good. ”
"After learning something, it was changed to the personal guidance of the Zhong Mansion Master, so the contradiction appeared. Sheng Ge's self-esteem is very strong, he can't stand Lao Zhong's verbal violence, and he also encountered bottlenecks in his cultivation and Dan Dao, his entry is slow, and his upgrade is not smooth, which makes him deeply hit. ”
He first became depressed, self-defeating, always like to live alone, and then suddenly changed his personality again, and took the initiative to associate with the disciples of other peaks, but there were often complaints and provocative words in the interaction, and he was scolded and punished by Lao Zhong many times, and there were many disputes and filthiness with the same door of Kaiyang Peak, but he made rapid progress inexplicably in practice. ”
"This child used to read very well, but he had an obvious characteristic, that is, he was very superstitious about the content of the book, keen to collect and read all kinds of secret books and ancient books, believed in ancient recipes, and often studied and experimented by himself. ”
"And the old bell is cultivated by Ye Luzi by understanding, although Sheng Ge admires the old clock, but he admires the words of the ancients and sages, and the conflict between the master and apprentice is very fierce on this point......
After a few more discussions, Zhou Xi concluded: "In my opinion, Sheng Ge's private departure from the team is not as simple as it seems, and there must be a deeper reason for him to make such a decision, and freezing three feet is not a day's cold, which is worthy of our vigilance." ”
"Thorough investigation, the Thunder Punishment Hall is responsible for a comprehensive and detailed understanding of the anomalies in Sheng Ge's daily behavior, and must find out the real causes and triggers, as well as the transformation process. ”
"In addition, tomorrow night I will arrange a sincere conversation with the sixty generations of disciples in the Zhidao Palace, and I will talk about my own experience of humility and self-reflection and how to treat the scriptures, and you can all participate in it, and share your experiences and lessons together. ”
"I don't know about you, but this incident is a wake-up call for me. As for how to teach our disciples, I think it's time for us to reflect on ourselves and improve ourselves. ”
