Chapter 374: Apprenticeship?
"It's a lot of twists, but it's harder in your choice. Is it retreat, or advance. Whether to aspire to the top, or to stop. ”
The hunchbacked old man's gaze kept falling on Chu Cheng's body, and he looked at him with him, as if he wanted to see all his details.
Being stared at by this gaze, Chu Cheng suddenly felt a little warm, as if he was being illuminated by the warm sun.
Chu Cheng thought for a while and said, "My generation of cultivators, naturally they want to go to a higher realm, no matter how big the sky is, mine is bigger than him." As high as the mountain is, I am higher than it. ”
"Bigger than the sky, higher than the mountain?" the hunchbacked old man laughed, the wrinkles at the corners of his face were huddled together, looking like a withered and old sycamore, weathered.
That's a good sentence. The hunchbacked old man nodded, turned back and continued to pick up the teapot and pour it into the teacup.
"Sit. ”
The old man turned around again, looked at Chu Cheng, and pointed to the stool opposite the wooden table.
Chu Cheng nodded, and in front of the peerless powerhouse, he could only obey his orders, and sat down opposite the old man.
Although the old man does not seem to have any fluctuations in cultivation, just like an ordinary old man, but the saints all worship him as a teacher, how can he be an ordinary old man?
The old man pushed the tea in front of Chu Cheng and spoke again.
"Drink tea. ”
Chu Cheng nodded, picked up the teacup, and drank it in one gulp. The next moment, frowning slightly.
The old man smiled and continued to pour tea. Chu Cheng took the teacup and drank it again.
The old man poured tea again, and Chu Cheng continued to drink tea.
Pour the tea, drink the tea. And so on. It's just that every time he drank it, Chu Cheng's brows wrinkled even tighter.
It wasn't until the teapot bottomed out and the tea could no longer be poured that the old man put the teapot down.
"How's this tea?"
Chu Cheng will take the last sip of tea. The frown was loosened.
"Senior, do you want me to tell the truth?" Chu Cheng thought for a while and said.
The old man nodded and motioned for Chu Cheng to continue.
"It's unpleasant. I thought that my predecessors would come up with the best spiritual tea in the world. ”
This is a powerful man who was once only one step away from stepping into the emperor level. There must be the best spiritual tea in the world.
But the level of tea that Chu Cheng drank was unremarkable, without a trace of taste. It's a jug of water, to be exact.
In fact, this is indeed just a pot of water, and Chu Cheng drinks water, not tea.
The old man smiled and said, "Do you know why I took out a jug of water for you to drink?"
Chu Cheng smiled and said, "The Qingming of Water, the seniors want to tell me that on the way to cultivation, don't forget your heart." To be as clear as water?"
The old man shook his head and sighed softly. "It's really a good thing not to forget your heart." It's just that what the old man wants to say is ......."
The voice suddenly stopped, the old man raised his head, swept the blue sky, and whispered softly, with a little loneliness.
"This water, although tasteless, can make countless spiritual teas, can make ordinary tea, and can also brew the best spiritual tea in the world. ”
"Water is plain, but there are countless possibilities. It's like this world....... This world is like this cup of water, it can make bland tea, but it can also brew an evocative taste. ”
"There are countless living beings in heaven and earth. These creatures are like this tea. Birds, beasts, insects, to humans, to our monks. ”
"This water can brew the taste of countless kinds of tea, and countless creatures can be born in this heaven and earth. Among these creatures, there are ordinary and mediocre people, and there are also transcendent people. The old man said softly, but the helplessness in his eyes became stronger and stronger.
"What the old man wants to tell you is that if there is no such water, no matter how good the spiritual tea is, it is useless, and if there is no such world, those so-called strong people are also empty talk. If there is no heaven and earth, how can living beings be born, and how can you drink the strongest wine in the world, the best tea?"
The world is gone, and everything is reduced to nothingness. There is nothing but the shattered void.
The old man's eyes were condensed, and he looked at Chu Cheng with a hint of excitement. This made Ouyang Zi stunned.
Ouyang Zi had never seen the old man look like this. In his impression, nothing can move the old man.
However, the mood of the old man changed at this moment.
"With heaven and earth as the furnace, the stars as the medicine, and the vicissitudes of the sun and the moon into vitality, even the old man has never seen it. The old man looked at Chu Cheng, his words paused, and some appreciation appeared in his eyes.
"This kind of Dan Dao, I'm afraid that in the future, it can surpass the old man........ Even the old man is looking forward to where you can go in the future......."
Chu Cheng smiled lightly and said, "If you talk about Dan Dao, I am not as good as Master Ouyang. ”
When Ouyang Zi heard this, he shook his head and said: "What Senior Brother said is not true, in the future, if you get the guidance of your master, the path of the Dan Dao will definitely advance by leaps and bounds, even if you don't borrow his strength, you can also touch the path of the sage." ”
The old man's Dan Dao attainments, even Ouyang Zi didn't know how high it was, only knew that it was very high, so high that he couldn't touch it in his life.
Ouyang Zi's qualifications were extremely poor in his early years, but he did not forget his original intentions and has always persevered, just like Venerable Xiao Yi, he was a late bloomer. Becoming the King of Dan, this entered the eyes of the old man, pointed out the Dan Dao, and advanced to the holy position.
"The old man has a total of five disciples in his life, all of whom are named. All have reached the realm of human saints. ”
"Five?" Chu Cheng's pupils shrank, a little surprised.
Chu Cheng sighed softly. Five saints under one person, what a great thing.
"These five, one is Ouyang Zi and the other is Zhuge Ming, these two are the top Dan Dao masters in the Seven Domains of the Human World. There are also three of them, who are the powerhouses of the Ziyun Sect and the Sect of the Purple Fortune Sect!"
Chu Cheng's eyebrows moved, and he knew that there was more than one saint in the Ziyun Sect, but he didn't expect that there would be as many as four.
"Boy, you're lucky! The old man Dan Dao, the way of the Fu Array, and the way of cultivation are all the first people in the world, and you get his guidance, will you not walk sideways in the world in the future?"
The old man's current strength may not be the first in the world, but he has walked a road that is difficult for ordinary people to reach in this life. These experiences are still there.
"The old man wants to accept you as a disciple, but it is not a name, nor a personal inheritance, but a disciple. ”
As soon as these words came out, even Ding Ye's face was moved.
Named disciples, only occasional guidance. The personal transmission is just to teach a way, but the inheritance of disciples is to pass on all the teachings.
Chu Cheng suddenly breathed heavily, and a world-famous powerhouse passed on everything about himself, which was a great creation.
He has been cultivating for nearly twenty years, and has received some inheritance from Emperor Luo Yun, and the true magic of Huangquan Decision has not been understood.
The inheritance of a dead person is far less important than the inheritance of a living strong person.
Personally pointing out will reduce a lot of crooked paths and take shortcuts.
This is a world-strong man, far beyond a saint, there must be countless resources and supreme exercises, Chu Cheng was moved.
The old man smiled and said, "But you have to promise the old man one condition." ”
"What conditions?" Chu Cheng was stunned for a moment and frowned.
At the beginning, the red-nosed old man took him to take advantage of his intentions, accepted the three god-transforming monks as servants, put forward conditions, and did three things for them. Now, again, it's a condition.
"In the future, you have come to the path that the old man walked on back then, if someone wants to disturb this pot of water and stir up the world of this world, the old man needs you to stand up and support all beings in the world. ”
Chu Cheng's eyes flashed again, he didn't expect that the old man's condition would be this, and he was silent for a while.
Supporting all living beings in the world? Chu Cheng is not a supreme person, nor is he a saint, and he can't be so great.
All beings in the world have nothing to do with him, so what does it have to do with him?
Seeing Chu Cheng's silence, the old man spoke again and said, "The old man knows that behind you, there is still a strong man who is not weaker than me, and the road is under your feet, how to choose depends on yourself." ”
Chu Cheng hesitated, but finally spoke, "There is no one behind me, if the ancient court is coming, I will make a move." ”
Xue Yu was asleep, there was indeed no one behind Chu Cheng to support him, and the ancient court had a period of cause and effect with him, and there was Luo Yun's breath on him, and when he came to the ancient court, there would be a battle.
This is for himself, for a few of his friends. And not for this common life.
"No one behind you?" the old man was a little surprised. There is no one behind him, but he can think of the vicissitudes of refining the sun and the moon, how against the sky.
The old man suddenly laughed and said, "I see, it seems that the old man has underestimated you, heaven and earth have nurtured countless living beings, and one after another transcendent beings have appeared, you can do this on your own, it is indeed possible." ”
"It is precisely because of this generation of creatures that the world is full of infinite unknowns and possibilities. Back then, Emperor Luo Yun would not hesitate to give up life and death, and fought desperately with the immortals of the ancient court. ”
It is precisely because he knows that after his death, there will be a new emperor who will appear to re-support this piece of heaven for him and protect the people of the world. ”
"Because of the expectations in Emperor Luo Yun's heart, there will be countless strong people who will go to heaven and ignite the fire of the world......."
The old man was a little excited, for the first time in hundreds of thousands of years, he had such emotions.
"The old man underestimated your talent, but there is no one behind you, and you want to worship under the old man's door, do you know how many people wanted to kill you before?"
Chu Cheng shook his head, he only knew one. How do you know if you are not present?
The old man spoke: "There are a total of six Dao Masters who have made a move, and two of them are Tianjizi ........."
"Tianjizi?" Chu Cheng's pupils shrank sharply.
Tianjizi, Tianjizong. Chu Cheng's heart was shocked!
He is the thirteenth son of Tianji, and it is certain that there are twelve other Tianji sons above him. But he didn't expect those guys to be so powerful.
Chu Cheng suddenly remembered the words of the red-nosed old Taoist that day, if he didn't follow him for three days, he would definitely die in the battle of the Heavenly Machine Sequence in the future.
"For example, today there are thirteen sons in the Ji Sect, and the old man will look at you in the thirteenth sequence. Among the many heavenly machines, the strength is the worst. Even if you are now in the Extreme Golden Pill and meet the Twelve Sons of Heavenly Machine, you will still die!"
"Worship me as a teacher, and bow three times. Cause and effect for you and me. The old man really wants to see the future, to surpass the old man, and to embark on the real emperor's road. With your qualifications, you can enter the top five in the world, and you should be inherited. ”
The old man spoke, shutting down. kept looking at Chu Cheng and waiting for a reply.
Ding Ye and Ouyang Zi were also waiting for his answer at this moment. The two of them believed that Chu Cheng would definitely agree to apprentice.
However, Chu Cheng's reply made the two stunned.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to. ”
