Chapter 13: Enlightenment

With a slightly calmer heart, Li Jin accompanied his granddaughter to enjoy the moon, which is worthy of the name of living in this inn.

It wasn't until nightfall that Zhu Mei returned to the Drunken Xianju Inn and beckoned Liu Wen and the two brothers to have a simple meal. During the banquet, Zhu Mei asked the two brothers how Li Jin was. Liu Wen stopped his chopsticks and said the word "smart" very sincerely, Liu Wen put away his hippie smile and gave the word "real".

Liu Wen glanced at Liu Wen and added, "I have a good granddaughter!" provoked Liu Wen with a big eye.

Although Liu Wen and the two brothers didn't know what to do, they also guessed one or two, Li Jin Lingzhou killed people in public, no matter how justified it was, he wanted to give an explanation to the Zongzitou Mountain Gate behind Lingzhou. If you're lucky, you'll have to give an explanation, and if you're unlucky, you'll have to give an account.

Zhu Mei asked this question, which shows that Zhu Mei is at ease about this matter, and it also shows that Zhu Mei really does not treat the brothers as outsiders, and at the same time takes care of the feelings of the two brothers, and is also investigating and training the hearts and insights of the two.

According to the time calculation, Zhu Mei went out just now, and he had time to deal with this matter, since he asked, it has not been dealt with yet, and the test is soliciting opinions at the same time, and it can also be seen that the relationship between Zhu Mei and Liu Yuan is definitely not just as simple as old acquaintance, but more about trust.

The two brothers would never have thought at this time that a simple meal, a simple question, would decide the fate of a monk in the upper three realms. Zhu Mei would never have thought that a simple decision would have an impact on the future.

After dinner, the two brothers returned to their rooms, and Liu Wen lay on the bed and fell asleep reminiscing about the various swords he saw during the day.

Liu Wen tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and three days later he had to officially decide whether his mission could be carried out smoothly, which was both excited and worried. If you can't enter the mountain gate, what will be good after that.

Six years ago, the memories flooded back, the diligent and honest father, the loving mother, the grandfather Chen who sacrificed his life to save him, and 297 innocent villagers, overnight, the village was destroyed and people died, leaving only themselves.

Liu Wen has been begging for three years, and the only force that supports him from falling down is to go on a blind date for his parents and seek justice for himself.

A seven-year-old child, carrying the hopes of more than 300 people, God knows how hard he has traveled this way. Liu Wen didn't dare to think that if he hadn't met his stepfather Liu Yuan three years ago, he would have survived, let alone that he would be able to step in front of Zongzitou Mountain one day.

In the past three years, as well as along the way with Zhu Mei, Liu Wen has determined that his father-in-law is not simple, and the more he knows, the more afraid Liu Wen becomes.

If the father-in-law's family is a simple family, if he doesn't succeed in the end, he will die alone, and no one will be implicated.

But if the stepfather is a cultivator on the mountain, and he fails in the end, the stepfather's family will definitely not be able to get rid of the relationship. His father-in-law was so kind to him, how could he bear to let his father-in-law's family suffer!

Liu Wen secretly said to himself, you must endure, you must endure, and you must endure it before you are 100% sure. I had already experienced the pain of losing a loved one once, and there was nothing I could do about it at that time. At this time, since you can control it, you must not let this kind of thing happen again.

Liu Wen didn't know when he fell asleep in his cranky thoughts and painful memories.

Although it was a full moon outside the window, it was a little white, just like the bloody night of Longzhi Village six years ago!

No matter how dark or cold the night before, the morning sun always dispels all darkness and brings some warmth to people.

A quick knock on the door woke up the sleeping Liu Wen, Liu Wen's voice didn't matter if you wanted to hear it or not, it went directly into your ears: "Brother, hurry up, I didn't see much of Zecheng last time, let's take a good look at this Liuyundu today, I'll take you to open your eyes!"

Liu Wen listened to the familiar voice outside the door, kind and warm, enough to dispel all the sorrow of last night.

"It's coming!" Liu Wen said with ease, got up and opened the door, let Liu Wen sit first, and wash and tidy up by himself.

"Brother, you said that there are so many people who are recruiting disciples this time, can we choose them?"

"Do you remember Mr. Cheng's words?" Liu Wen lowered his head and continued to wash.

"Peace of mind, as you like?"

"So what's going on?"

"You're not two years older than me, how can you look like an old master!"

“······” Liu Wen didn't pay any more attention to him.

In fact, Liu Wen knew that his younger brother looked very aggressive, but he actually understood it in his heart. The reason why I have nothing to say here is because I am afraid that this brother will feel lonely and talk to him.

While talking, Liu Wen also freshened up, and as soon as the two of them left the room, Zhu Mei came out of the room, you said it was a coincidence.

The three of them went downstairs to find a steamed bun shop on the side of the street, and the three of them were surprisingly consistent for breakfast - two steamed buns with a bowl of bean curd, simple, but also had a homely taste.

After breakfast, Zhu Mei took the two of them from the south gate to the north gate, and then from the east gate to the west gate, during which he didn't buy anything, just took the two of them to hang out. Zhu Mei occasionally acted as a local guide to introduce the situation of the Taihua Sect to the two, if someone who didn't know the inside saw this scene, he thought it was a local.

For three days in a row, it was like this, and during this period, I also saw some small fights and small conflicts, but there was not much movement, compared to the Taihua Sect's recruitment of disciples this time, it was a small snack before the main banquet.

Early in the morning of the fourth day, Li Jin took his granddaughter to guard in front of the gate of Taihuazong Mountain early, and when he saw Zhu Mei and the three of them, Li Jin was still the same as before, close and solemn, peaceful and not flattering.

The five of them said hello briefly and walked towards the square in front of the mountain gate. The Taihua Sect recruited disciples different from previous years, the previous enrollment of disciples had a fixed number, set at forty-nine people, this year has already spread the news, this recruitment, as long as the assessment passes, no matter how many, all stay, which is why there are so many people who come to Taihua Sect this time.

There is only one item to be assessed: the heart of the Tao. The Dao Heart is the source of the cultivation of all laws, and it is also the root of the convergence of spiritual power, if the Dao Heart is not opened, it will have no chance to practice, and the purer the Dao Heart attained, it also means that the higher the cultivation qualifications, and the higher the achievements that can be reached in theory.

The heart of the Tao is divided into nine grades, namely: lower lower, lower middle, lower upper, middle lower, middle middle, middle upper, upper upper, upper middle, upper middle, upper middle. This is just the general Dao Heart, and there are also legendary Dao Heart qualifications, which are all geniuses that have not been met in a hundred years, but they can not be sought, so I won't mention them here.

Taihua Sect's enrollment standard this time is that both the middle and lower levels can get started, this is the lowest enrollment standard in history, of course, in terms of ordinary mountain gates, this condition is not low, and those who can reach the middle Dao heart are not good seedlings in a thousand miles.

The way to preach the Dao heart is also simple, and there are two commonly used kinds, one is the monk who cultivates in the three realms of immortals, and he can directly prove the Dao heart, but how many people in Kyushu can do it, even if there is such a kind of cultivation, who pulls his face down to do such a trivial thing.

The second is with the help of the Dao Spirit Array, but it requires the monks of the Three Realms to press the array, and what needs to be consumed is the Yuan Lingqi, although the conditions are not high, but the cost is not small, even if it is like the Taihua Sect, the Zongzi Mountain Gate is only opened once in three years.

In most cases, Zongzitou Mountain Gate recruits disciples in the second way.

This time, the Taihua Sect presided over the Dao Spirit Array was Qi Shaoyang, the peak master of the Shaohua Peak, who was at the peak of the Heavenly and Human Realm, and was rumored to be the genius of the Taihua Sect who was most expected to enter the Immortal Realm.

Qi Shaoyang was in the first place in front of the Outer Spiritual Array at this time, and on the left and right were Xiaozhu Peak Master Ji Liling and Weiran Peak Master Ruan Wen, both of whom were also at the peak of the Heavenly and Human Realm, but they were inferior to Qi Shaoyang.

There are three peak masters at one time, which shows how much attention the Taihua Sect attaches to recruiting disciples this time.

Qi Shaoyang saw that the people were almost there, and he didn't talk nonsense, he didn't even have a polite greeting, and directly announced that the assessment had begun.

Due to the large number of people, three Dao Spirit Arrays were activated this time, and they were carried out at the same time, and it turned out that the other two peak masters were not here to support the façade, but also to do manual work.

With Qi Shaoyang's assessment begins, the three formations are fired together. Because Zhu Mei and the five of them came a little late, they stood relatively backward, only to see bursts of bright light coming and going in the spirit array, accompanied by a sound of "middle up", "bottom up", "middle down", "middle down"······

Naturally, it is also accompanied by this young face with a smile or a sad face.

"Hey, hey" is not interested in this, Zhu Mei and Li Jin are used to seeing this kind of scene, Liu Wen's temperament is already calm, so the four of them will take a look, but Liu Wen is interested, and he is dancing with his hands, and those who don't know think that he has obtained a superior Taoist heart.

"Brother, make a bet? Bet on which of us has the highest heart? The gambling money was the day before yesterday, and we saw the little short sword called Cicada Molt. ”

"Not interested. Liu Wen poured a basin of cold water on Liu Wen.

"What's the matter, afraid of losing?" Liu Wen still didn't give up.

"What kind of gamble with you, win, I'm your brother, I should be higher than you, in order to make up for your little mental trauma, I have to buy you a sword. I can't afford to lose that person and I have to buy you a sword at the same time, what do you think I'm betting with you?"

When Liu Wen heard half of it, the little abacus in his heart stopped: "You are really boring, you have calculated everything, you will definitely not find a wife in the future." ”

Zhu Mei already knew the result, there were not many surprises, Li Jin laughed heartily, thinking, it is really not an ordinary child, the two children are not bad, if it is his own granddaughter, he will be in the middle of everything, it can't be wrong, thinking of this, he laughed even more happily.

The people next to him were also amused by the little joke of the brothers, and they also laughed, and the atmosphere was quite tense, but it made Liu Wen have a small climax, and even a few reception stewards of Taihua Sect also looked at this side a few more times.

Just as everyone was laughing, a high-pitched voice attracted all the attention of "Shang", and then looked at the steward of Taihua Sect, the smile on his face was like how many Yuan Spirit Stones he had picked up.

The people who participated in the assessment below were shocked at first, and then their eyes were full of heat, and they all wanted to see which genius it was, although they couldn't get acquainted, it would be good to take a look at it from a distance, and it would be used as a talking point at the small wine table in the future.

Li Jin was also shocked at this time, he could make Li Jin in the realm of heaven and man so out of shape, you can know the deterrent power of this upper comment, you must know that Li Jin only got a judgment up and down at the beginning, and now he is in the realm of heaven and man, although it is the first time, it is also a real upper three realm.

This big episode broke the tense atmosphere just now, and directly pushed the evaluation to a big climax, with the evaluation just now, in addition to two upper and lower evaluations and one upper and middle evaluation, Taihua Sect can say that this recruitment of disciples even if there is no superior evaluation later, it has been regarded as a perfect ending.

With the advancement of the evaluation progress, there were fewer and fewer people in the square, and soon there were Liu Wen, Liu Wen, and Li Tongxin.

The steward of the Taihua Sect who is responsible for recording the evaluation is a little confused, what is the situation? Okay, give a word, didn't you report the dust of the Dao heart before, what is the situation at this time?

While everyone was puzzled, the three spirit arrays were closed at the same time, and the three peak masters of the Taihua Sect walked out of the array one after another, each bringing out the person who was evaluated.

The record steward cast an inquiring glance at the three peak masters, Ji Liling and Ruan Wen both looked at Qi Shaoyang, and Qi Shaoyang softened his head, "Well, I'm a little tired, take a break, this should be in the middle and upper." ”

Ji Liling and Ruan Wen also said in unison: "Mmmm, yes, middle and upper." ”

The stewards in charge of the records were all happy. Should it be in the middle of the top?

No way, report it.

"Upper Middle"
