Chapter Seventy-Five: All Obsessions Are Always Foolish
Waiting for Chu Taoye to leave, Qinghe patted her head and said, "Sister Taoye's crystal mirror is still with me! I'll help her hold it after the martial arts, she shouldn't have gone far yet, I'll get it for her!"
Xuan Rui bumped Yang Sheng on the shoulder, and said to Qinghe, "It doesn't matter if she goes back to the courtyard, anyway, I want to see what her A-shaped courtyard looks like, I've only heard about it before, but who can go over, it just happens that Chu Taoye is over there, let's also go and open our eyes and see what is the difference between it and our B-shaped courtyard!?"
"Let's go, let's go together!"
He and Xiu Yuan were on the left and right, holding Yang Sheng, Yang Sheng originally wanted to refuse, after all, it was night at this time, and the crystal mirror that Qinghe took couldn't be given during the day tomorrow, but when they said this, their minds were also alive.
It's not bad to see where Chu Taoye lives.
So several people immediately got up, left Bai Wenwu and Zhang Shu behind, and hurriedly chased them out.
......
Chu Taoye came out of the B-shaped courtyard, traced the river upstream, and walked on the road to her residence to the A-courtyard, her A-shaped courtyard residence is actually larger than Yang Sheng's four-bay courtyard combined, with more divisions, and the open environment of the outer courtyard is enough for her to practice the sword, and there is a landscape room inside, a bathing landscape hot spring pool, and a classic book room where she has collected a lot of scriptures, and when the sun is just right, she can read in the room separated by the gauze tent, she usually comes back from a mission, and she likes to be alone in her own room the most, she can do a lot of things, and she can avoid the cumbersome and disturbing of dealing with the outside world, and she can quietly ask her heart, water the flowers, and pick up the yardand do something that you want to do alone.
However, now, she found that the O-shaped courtyard had replaced her residence and became the place she would want to visit as soon as she returned from a mission.
The stream was clear under the moonlit night, but the mood of leaving the courtyard was excellent, she suddenly thought of something she had never thought of doing before, she took off her shoes and socks, jumped into a section of the stream that was not enough to reach her knees, and walked on the cold water with great interest, sometimes thinking of the things in the courtyard, showing a smile.
It was not far from her residence, there was a figure standing at the door, seeing that figure, Chu Taoye hurriedly went ashore, mobilized Lingqi to evaporate the water stains, put on shoes and socks, and secretly stuck out his tongue and walked over.
It was Hong Li, her head teacher.
Hong Li didn't carry her big sword, it may have been included in her space magic weapon, after all, it was not a formal occasion, and she didn't have to hang her sword behind her at any time.
"Teacher!" Chu Taoye bowed slightly, "Have you been waiting for me here?"
"Where have you been?" Hong Li looked at her disciple, and it was rare for her cold face to show a soft color.
"Went to get together with friends for a while. Chu Taoye said softly.
If it were in the past, saying this sentence from Chu Taoye's mouth was enough to be unprecedented, although she usually handled interpersonal relationships between disciples, she rarely participated in meetings between disciples, and her strength and personality made her enough to be transcendent, and she could gain a lot of hugs and favors without blending into the crowd.
But Hong Li knew that this disciple was more and more similar to her, to a certain extent, she didn't want Chu Taoye to be like her, in the end, she would only give people the image of an iceberg elder in the peak, everyone was more afraid of her natural coldness, she was thousands of miles away, how could they not be thousands of miles away from her?
Hong Li spoke, "You have been ...... lately Such gatherings are somewhat frequent when in the peak......"
Chu Taoye was slightly startled, Master Hong Li felt dissatisfied? When she taught her disciple the sword in the past, even in the face of the big mistakes made by her disciple, she was as cold as ever, like an emotionless stone, and she never showed the slightest dissatisfaction. Chu Taoye was a little flustered in her heart, this ...... What to do?
Chu Taoye hurriedly said in a wrong tone, "I know, I will work harder to practice and devote more energy to this in the future." ”
Hong Li looked at her, frowning, she didn't seem to mean that.
She really couldn't communicate with people normally.
No matter.
Hong Li said "Hmm!", and said in a somewhat stiff tone, "Zhang Shu's matter was brought up by Lan Jiucheng, and you must already know about it." But I've vetoed it. ”
This is the matter that Lan Jiucheng proposed that the chief Zhang Shu and Hong Li's chief Chu Taoye join forces and become Taoist couples. This kind of thing is a very normal thing in the Shushan Sect, and the Shushan Sect has a vast number of volumes, recording countless double cultivation methods, but there are advantages and disadvantages, not the mainstream.
The union of Taoist couples does not necessarily mean double cultivation. It can also be due to love, although as a mountain refiner, but who said that the alchemist can't refine the seven emotions and six desires? You have to have no desires and no desires, and the six roots are pure? That's just a path of cultivation.
Buddhist tantra prefers to choose this unique method of practice. But it is very easy to turn the cultivation of alchemists into a passing "non-human" for me, rather than an all-encompassing ultimate pursuit of "celestial beings".
Daoists are not forbidden in the Shushan Sect, but they are not encouraged, and if they want to become Taoists, the practice of ordinary disciples is to at least reach the level of a median cultivator. It may also be like Lan Jiucheng, who is a well-spoken elder in the sect, artificially arranging the most outstanding disciples under him. This has the flavor of a political marriage, a strong alliance.
Chu Taoye nodded "um". I thought that Uncle Hong Li had great expectations for himself, hoping that he would become a more powerful alchemist, inherit her mantle, and make Shushan stronger to cope with the turbulent situation in the future, after all, the erosion of humanity by ancient demons is a major event related to the survival of living beings in the world.
After a pause, Hong Li said again, "Lan Jiucheng's side I have already refused, he wants to use this to control my best disciple, and even master my instrument cultivation in the future, I can only say that his abacus is too good, but it is just an empty calculation." These are not mentioned...... It's still you, I can veto Lan Jiucheng's suggestion, but the key to the relationship lies with you. ”
Chu Taoye was stunned for a long time, and didn't react for a long time.
This was actually said by Uncle Hong Li?
Hong Li took the hand, this female teacher looked from the side, sideburns and willow leaves, with a kind of heroic spirit, she stood on the top of this cliff courtyard, facing the night breeze, looking at the mountains and rivers in the distance, "If you meet, if you think it's worth it, you can try it, and experience the ...... of feelings."
Chu Taoye looked at her uncle, she was a little shocked, because from her eyes, she saw a look that she had never seen before. It was like regret, or hope.
What is she longing for, and what is she regretting about the past?
The ten thousand peaks of Shushan are cracked, the monks are scattered, and every discrete peak is a spark, and those who are far away with these sparks are destined to give up a lot of things.
What I miss, what I look forward to, many things that happened and never happened.
Chu Taoye couldn't help but think, what kind of past does Uncle Hong Li have?
But why did she suddenly tell herself this?
Why are there all kinds of expatriates in Shushan, why do you go to the Hall of Good Deeds to serve as a mourner, why is it called walking in the world? Is it just to make up for the death of the Heavenly Dao? No, there is a rating for walking in the world, and the rating is a conscience, and it is for you to ask for things, so why is it not a practice. Cultivation is not only the pursuit of strength, but also the pursuit of power. Otherwise, there will be no power, but the heart will be weak and distorted, and then this power will become a disadvantage. But if you know how to use these powers on the most correct path, not a high mountain immortal, you experience the seven emotions and six desires, understand the seven emotions and six desires, know that birth, old age, sickness, death, love, parting and not resentment, then you will understand the whole world, and only when you know what the world is like, will you understand how you do the right path. You understand why people are in pain, and then you learn to channel that pain correctly and make people change themselves in the right amount of pain. If you know why you are resentful, why you are bitter, why you love, then you know how to stimulate the greatest enthusiasm of being born as a human being, and how to make people understand the truth of goodness, then you will use the power in your hands in the right place, and in exchange for more great power, greater help. This is not the way of heaven...... This is something that can compete with the way of heaven, the way of the spirit. ”
"Even if the world will die, it is our greatest right to live. ”
"Practice, how do you go through a practice? It's about experiencing it and making a summary. ”
Hong Li said.
Chu Taoye was stunned.
But after a moment, she whispered, "I see. ”
Hong Li nodded slightly.
Chu Taoye said again, "But...... In front of me, I am facing the gate of my peak in the crack of the Liang forces, and there are currently ancient demons as a disaster, to create a catastrophe, in order to encroach on the humanitarian foundation here, and to call more demon clans into the continent, at this time the peak is always under threat, and Taoye does not dare to ask too much about personal matters now. ”
Hong Li was slightly stunned and said, "This is not ......"
"Thank you for this enlightenment and for allowing me to pursue and choose. But I won't let my mentor down! My personal matter, in the face of the current safety in the peak, and the hidden dangers of the ancient demon clan, is insignificant, and I shouldn't focus on these. The top priority is to solve all this first. My personal affairs, when the scourge of that ancient demon subsides and my peak turns to safety, Peach Leaf will talk about these private matters......"
Hong Li still wanted to speak, but looking at Chu Taoye's firm gaze, she sighed slightly, her apprentice, how could she not know her? She is kind and broad-minded, this is a woman who really can't bear to see her hurt.
After Chu Taoye finished speaking, he was slightly stunned, turned around, and as far as his eyes could see, he saw Yang Sheng and a few people who went up the stream to the side of the Jiazi Courtyard.
Obviously, the second half of the conversation between Chu Taoye and Hong Li was heard in this silent night breeze.
Qinghe immediately turned around, the mushroom head swayed, and walked to the corner of the wall in unison, step by step, step by step, step by step, as if she hadn't noticed this side from beginning to end, and didn't hear her words.
Xuan Rui and Xiu Yuan looked at each other, and then the two of them looked at Yang Sheng beside them.
They saw Yang Sheng looking ahead, staring at Chu Taoye.
Then, Chu Taoye in their eyes, her eyes showed surprise and hesitation, but she still reluctantly turned her gaze away, turned her head away, and her body stopped for a moment at that moment, and then she picked up her steps and walked back to her room step by step.
Hong Li looked at Yang Sheng, looked at the figure who turned his back under Yang Sheng's gaze, locked everything behind him, and suddenly looked a little lonely.
Hong Li sighed.
All obsessions are always stupid.

I'm sorry it's late.
