Chapter 6: Where is the Heart of the Dao?
"I heard that Mu Hongzhi and a few of them don't sleep either, they stay up all night to review. Feng Peining frowned and slowly flipped through the pages of his notes.
"It's almost a month, and everyone is ruthless. Du Lan really didn't raise his head, "It seems that a few people's notes are missing, and Steward Han didn't speak." ”
"It's really all bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods that have come out, and this kind of subterfuge can also be used. Feng Peining sneered, "I don't have the ability to dominate and want to get people down, there are so many powerful people in this world, can they still do it one by one?"
"Speaking of which, Fang Xinjue doesn't seem to have moved at all?" Du Lanzhen raised his head.
"I thought it was strange, too. Feng Peining raised his head and looked at her, "Everyone is afraid that they can't make Zhenjun take a fancy to him, and he is scrambling, but he seems to be ordinary, obviously he is quite hopeful." ”
"He's too low-key. Duran really thinks about it, even if she doesn't hear anything outside the window, she will inevitably be entangled in jealousy and confrontation, and some things can only be avoided. "It's as if he doesn't care at all. ”
"If you hadn't said it, I wouldn't have paid attention to him. Feng Peining put away his notes, "If it were him, I would definitely want to give it a try." She relented, "Twin Spirit Roots, it's a little less qualified than you." It was the first one after you and Mu Hongzhi to draw qi into the body. The schoolwork is also outstanding. Not long ago, it had already broken through to the second layer of gas refining. Such good conditions, if I would never give up. ”
"Speaking of which, he seems to have always been that honest person who doesn't fight or grab?" Du Lanzhen also put away the notes, and the two little girls seriously discussed the character of their classmates, looked at each other, and were a little unconvinced, "Pretending, right?"
"I really believe that some people don't fight or rob me, and I believe in fame and fortune, but this is the true monarch of Yuanying! Who can not be tempted? I originally thought that he was a carefree man who really didn't like to compete for fame and fortune, but he was still unmoved by such a big temptation, so it was a bit fake. Feng Peining calmly analyzed, "Maybe he is so confusing." ”
"Yes, he just wants to get rid of the strife and get quiet, so that we can all be left behind!" Du Lan really felt that Feng Peining was right, "We must not let him succeed!" "Two little girls, you look at me, I look at you, I feel that my heart is full of infinite motivation, you must study hard and surpass him!"
However, they are still too young to understand that sometimes, they really can't live on their own.
"There are 16 categories of common pills, 78 subjects, and 149 kinds, of which ...... are healing."
"Dansha, i.e. cinnabar, cinnabar, mercury sand. Sweet, cold, and slightly poisonous. Treat epilepsy, detoxify fetal toxins, and drive away malaria. ”
"There is grass, its shape is like a leek and Qinghua, its name is called Zhu Yu, and the food is not hungry. ”
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is time to test the results of a month. This month, everyone is full of emotion. The schoolwork is good and feels the fear of being dominated, and the interpersonal relationship is good and feels the speed of the boat of friendship capsizing. Du Lanzhen tried her best to study and cultivate, but she was still inevitably involved in such and such disputes, because her threat was very great, and everyone pointed the finger at her, even if she was careful, she still inevitably lost her notes for a while. It took her almost all her strength and intelligence to retrieve her notes again and again, and even if she didn't want to, it was inevitable that her relationships would be ruined.
"Just because I'm better than them, they can deal with me?" she poured bitter water at Feng Peining, "They don't care about offending me anymore, do I still care about them?"
"Ignore them. Feng Peining said disdainfully, "People who don't expect to use unseemly means will always use unseemly means." When you are accepted by the true monarch, there will be no intersection. ”
"You have so much faith in me. "Du Lan is really not as anxious as a month ago, on the one hand, her friends are cheering her up, on the other hand, she really feels that she is indeed very good, that is, it would be better if she could break through to the middle stage of qi refining. It's a pity that she seems to be separated from the fourth layer of qi refining, and the more she wants to break through, the more hopeless she is. She can only comfort herself with Uncle Jiang's water mill kung fu, which has its own fixed number, and fate has not yet arrived.
Despite this, she is still the most outstanding one - the only third-level Qi refining, excellent schoolwork, even if she is stumped by the Dan Dao, she is not worse than anyone else.
The self-confidence was built up step by step, and she finally had a little arrogance to give up on me.
"When the time comes, they will be separated. Feng Peining said a little stunned, "I'll miss you." ”
"I'll miss you, too. Duran said seriously, "You're like my sister." ”
Feng Peining looked at her and smiled.
The next day, everyone arrived at the mission hall early with their notes, and Gonda Makun handed out a scroll to everyone, and Duran Zhen got it and found that the scroll stood taller than her.
Du Lanzhen is definitely not sloppy in learning, and everything that Quantian Zhenjun talks about, even if it is only mentioned a little bit, will definitely make it clear. Although Quantian Zhenjun is different from Uncle Jiang, he will not stay there all the time to solve people's doubts, but Du Lan is really fast! She immediately rushed to the front of Zhenjun after class to ask questions, Zhenjun was originally here to accept apprentices, naturally he would not refuse to solve the doubts of students who love to learn, and he came and went, but he was actually quite familiar.
Duran really answered all the papers, and a sense of certainty arose.
"Duran is true. Seeing that she had finished answering, Gonda Zhenjun hooked his lips and beckoned to her. Du Lanzhen came over, and Quan Tian Zhenjun gave her a separate review, and after the approval, he began to ask questions, which made Du Lanzhen really sweat coldly.
"Not bad. Gonda Zhenjun nodded, "It's hard work, and my understanding is good." He looked at her softly, "You're excellent." ”
Duran's heart was pounding in her chest, as if the whole world was dancing, her face often turned red when she was excited, she knew that it was a little embarrassing, but she still couldn't help it. Gonda Zhenjun smiled when he saw it, and waved her hand to tell her to go out first.
Du Lanzhen arrived in the yard alone and couldn't believe it, so he pinched himself twice. Quan Tian Zhenjun, Yuan Ying Zhenjun, and Dan Dao Grandmaster, actually praised her for being very good? Isn't she dreaming?
"Lan Zhen, congratulations. Feng Peining came out and smiled at her.
"No, no, no, it's not decided yet. Duran really felt that this matter was in order, but the dust was undecided, and it was difficult to say big words, "Maybe they are better than me?" she herself said and felt a little hypocritical, fake, afraid that no one would believe it.
The young lady from Feng Peining's Marquis Mansion, how could she not know that Du Lan's true words were insincere, but she just smiled.
"I looked at your results. Gonda said to everyone, "I'll send you the results and test papers later, and you can understand the wrong questions with the standard answers." ”
He said, glanced at everyone, "The immortal road is vast, you may not be able to go far with me, all the way, after all, you still have to rely on yourself, I only accept one apprentice today, but there is more than one person walking on the immortal road, please don't be arrogant, and move forward." After that, he said, "Fang Xinjue, come here." ”
Du Lanzhen only felt that there was a bang, as if a thunderbolt had landed in her heart, so shocked that she couldn't hear the sounds around her, and only saw Quan Tian Zhenjun's lips open and close, as if asking Fang Xinjue if he was willing to worship him as a teacher. Fang Xinjue knelt down neatly, she only felt like a joke.
Du Lan really thought that she had been cultivating day and night for more than a month, and she hadn't closed her eyes for dozens of days, she thought that she carried Dan Dao notes with her everywhere she went, and regarded that thin booklet as if it were some kind of treasure book, thinking that she almost tore her face with those classmates for this opportunity, and she was tired of each other, and thought that in order to understand Dan Dao schoolwork, Lai was ridiculed and squeezed by Zhenjun's classmates who also came over......
A strong unwillingness surged into her heart, almost an urge to cry, she was restrained, Bai's words echoed in her ears again, don't fight, don't grab, who knows the result?
She took a step forward, took a deep breath, and said loudly, "Zhenjun, I don't understand, who is the number one in the Dan Dao coursework?"
She didn't ask why she didn't accept her, nor did she ask why she didn't accept her but praised her in public, only asked who was the first in schoolwork, but the childish girl's eyes were burning, and her eyes seemed to be full of brilliance.
Senior Uncle Jiang straightened up when she took a step, and when he heard her question Yuanying Zhenjun loudly, his heart was almost there.
"It's you. Quan Tian Zhenjun helped Fang Xinjue up and looked at her.
"I don't understand...... Du Lanzhen took a deep breath and suppressed his tears again, "I don't understand, since it's me, why don't you choose me? In terms of qualifications, I am the Twin Spirit Root, in terms of cultivation, I am the third level of Qi refining, and in terms of schoolwork, I am the first, but why do you want to choose someone who is not as good as me in everything? Please solve my doubts." ”
Who are you, I want Yuanying Zhenjun to explain to you, Uncle Jiang was simply impressed by her big face.
Du Lan really didn't know that her actions were inappropriate, but when she thought of how hard she had done her for this opportunity, exhausted all her energy, and gave up how many friends she had lost, and Fang Xinjue didn't look like she was fighting or grabbing, she got everything...... The thought of it hurts all over her body.
Why is he? What is a person who is inferior to her in nothing?
"I really think you're excellent. "Fortunately, Quan Tian Zhenjun is really good-tempered, and he is really familiar with Duran this month, and he really appreciates it a little, so he can also tolerate the rudeness and unwillingness of the competitive little girl. "Being able to cultivate to the third level of qi refining in half a year shows that you are not only talented, but you are also very diligent and hardworking, and the avenue is promising. ”
If it was before, Du Lan really heard Quan Tian Zhenjun praise her like this, and she would definitely smile, but all this was carried out under the foreshadowing of Quan Tian Zhenjun's disdain for her, and saying it only made her want to sneer.
"My eldest disciple, Shen Jiashu, Shan Linggen, built the foundation at the age of twenty-one, and is extremely talented in the Dan Dao. The fourth disciple, Shi Yeran, Shuanglinggen, built the foundation at the age of twenty-five, and was the most talented person I have ever seen on the Yu Dan Dao. Gonda Zhenjun still looked so gentle, but his words gradually became cold, "Saying so much, I actually want to tell you that you are indeed very good, but there are many excellent people in this world, and you are nothing." ”
Duran's face turned pale.
"But that's not why I won't take you. Gonda Zhenjun looked at her, "I don't accept you as an apprentice, it's really because you are not suitable to be my apprentice." ”
"I prefer to be leisurely, and I don't like to compete with others and compete for fame. I can give up everything just for my heart, even if everyone thinks I'm inferior to anyone because of it. I seek the word because I am free, not overwhelming. Can you?" Gonda sighed, "It's been a month, and I can see that you are such a strong girl, and you want to be the first in everything." I would also like to take you as an apprentice, who would not want to have one more apprentice with outstanding talents? But I think it is not a good thing for you to follow me. Accepting apprentices, of course, values qualifications and talents, but also depends on whether the Dao heart is compatible. ”
Duran Zhen pursed his lips, "Dare to ask Zhenjun, what is Dao Heart?"
"You ask me what the Dao Heart is, I can't answer you directly, unfortunately, even though I am already in the Yuan Infant realm, I still don't understand. I can only say that the Dao Heart is to seek up and down, and I will die without regrets, and if anyone questions my Dao Heart, I can fight with him. Gonda Zhenjun stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes heavy, "I have seen your performance this month." In order to be my disciple, you even gave up your daily zama steps, and you can tear your face with your classmates who used to play well, right?" he looked at Du Lanzhen with a smile, "You all do your best, each with your own ability, I have nothing to blame, I can only say, you are all fighting, and what I want is exactly not fighting." ”
"I said, I really appreciate you. Gonda said with a smile, "If you set a goal, you can do your best to achieve it and chase it, which is very good." Few people can do this when they are still childish. The world is so big, and there are so many Yuanying Zhenjun, why do you think of me so important? There's nothing wrong with you, really. ”
"Thank you Zhenjun for your doubts. Duran really bit his lip and squeezed out words for a while.
Quan Tian Zhenjun took Fang Xinjue away, but the influence he brought to Du Lanzhen still existed.
"Duran, you come with me. Uncle Jiang stood outside the crowd and called her. Du Lanzhen heard the others talking about her, but she didn't speak, just walked towards Uncle Jiang in silence.
