Chapter Twenty-Four: Predecessors Plant Trees, and Later Generations Enjoy the Shade?
Returning to the temporary station, Qin Guan changed back into his usual tattered work clothes, good-looking clothes are used to show off outside, and it is easier to wear them at home, otherwise he has to wash them himself, which is troublesome. Sanqingguan is still in the poverty stage, although there is a little money to spare, but basically cooking, washing clothes and the like are still done by themselves, Qin Guan feels that this helps to develop a good habit of hard work, but in fact, there is also a reason why they can't hire anyone to serve. After all, there are all monks in Danghai City, although they are all casual cultivators, but casual cultivation is also dignified, except for those servants who have been kept at home since childhood, basically no one is willing to sell themselves into slavery.
Entering the house, several people were waiting in the house for Qin Guan to come back, except for Qing Xuan, who was not giving lessons to the teenagers, the rest of them were sitting on chairs and drinking tea. Seeing that Qin Guan was back, everyone hurriedly asked the three Jindan monks what was the matter with looking for Qin Guan, Qin Guan said: "It's okay, it's just that we bought too many things a few days ago, I'm afraid that there will be a shortage of goods in the market, which will ruin my reputation, and no one will come in the future." A few people relaxed when they heard this, but fortunately it was not a big deal. Gu Weirui pursed her lips disdainfully: "These three Jindan seniors are too shallow, so they deliberately asked the master to ask questions." The others also chimed in: "Yes, yes, this Swinging Sea City is too small." Luo Nan and Jia Yi and the others listened silently for a long time, and explained to Liao Xingchen and the others: "Don't think those three people are making a fuss, you must know that our overseas cultivation world is poor in cultivation resources, and there is only such a small square market within three thousand miles around, if the supply is not timely, maybe this square city will not be able to open under the vitality of the city." ”
Jia Yi added on the side: "Qin Daoyou should also understand that the resources needed for these casual cultivation are extremely limited, in addition to the need to buy Zhuji Dan when building the foundation, and the purchase of some life-saving drugs when exploring the cave mansion of the predecessors, I am not willing to buy anything on weekdays, so in this Fang Market based on casual cultivation, there are not many goods reserved by the shops, and if Qin Daoyou buys it like this, I can't say that the money is earned, but if I want to stock up again, it will take a year or two." After that, it doesn't matter if the merchants don't make any money, after all, they must have left themselves the necessary things for cultivation, but casual cultivation will suffer, and if you want to buy something while you are rich, you can't buy it if you want to, maybe you should leave here and go to another place to practice. This sea city may not be able to open. ”
Helian Jun nodded, this situation is similar to his family's Star City, both are commercially developed places, and the reserve of goods is the lifeblood of a commercial city. However, Star City is all mortals, and it will be difficult to move away after settling down, so it is not a big problem. However, the monks who live in this sea city are monks, and in the case of lack of resources, monks can cross the sea at any time without hesitation.
Gu Weirui knew that her vision was not enough, but after listening to everyone's explanations, she understood a lot and stopped making such remarks. Qin Guan also figured out when he was on the road, why Min Hui and the three of them had to find themselves, the reason was here. However, it is estimated that there should be reasons to test the origin of Qin Guan and others, and it is not all about worrying about the survival of this city. "You should also be able to guess, I think those three Jindan monks may have come from the Jiuzhou Continent, and their bearing is not like they were born in casual cultivation, but like they came out of the sect. ”
Everyone fell into deep thought, but there was no clue at hand, and no one knew what the three men were doing and what their purpose was. Anyway, it doesn't have much to do with them, Qin Guan's first task now is to take advantage of nothing to happen, improve their cultivation, and at the same time write the books they have compiled at hand. Even if something happens, seeing that the signs are not right, everyone will quickly evacuate.
After sending away Helian Jun and the others, Jia Yi and Luo Nan were still hesitant and didn't go out, as if they had something to say. Qin Guan asked curiously: "Luo Daoyou, what is the matter?" A Yi and the others encouraged their boss with their eyes, Luo Nan received the eyes of his subordinates, and said helplessly: "We do have something to ask Lord Qin Guan for help. Then he explained the intention of himself and the others.
It turned out that Luo Nan and the others had been practicing the meditation mantra for more than three months, and the effect was good, but the ban still couldn't be lifted for a while, and they were a little anxious, but they couldn't show it, for fear that the backlash of the ban would attack again. Luo Nan went to consult the rat demon - now it should be called "Shu Tong", this name was later said by himself, Lianshan Ancestor originally obtained the name for him, Shu Tong said that if you want to completely solve the problem of this prohibition, unless there are Yuanying monks willing to help, they can only rely on their own efforts. After saying this, Luo Nan and the others' hearts were half cold, although now the Jindan monks are all over the ground, but only one Yuanying monk can be produced out of a thousand Jindan monks, and the chance of seeing the Yuanying monk is really slim. And even if they were lucky enough to meet the Yuanying Monk, why should they help themselves and others to lift the ban? Luo Nan and the five had no choice but to come to Qin Guan for advice, after all, I heard Shu Tong say that Lianshan Ancestor was originally Yuanying Monk, maybe there was something about the ban in the inheritance left by Lianshan Ancestor to Qin Guan?
After listening to their intentions, Qin Guan pondered for a moment, and said: "There is indeed a way, but it is ......" Luo Nan and the others hurriedly leaned over, and almost knelt down to beg Qin Guan to rescue them and others, Qin Guan hurriedly helped everyone up, and continued: "It's not that I don't rescue you, it's just that this method is easy to say, but the danger is too great, and if you don't pay attention to it, it will be the end of your soul, and I really grasp it." Luo Nan and the others glanced at each other, their eyes were full of perseverance, and said, "If you are not free, you would rather die." We implore Lord Qin Guan to cast a spell for us to lift the ban, even if we die, we will not hesitate to do so. Qin Guan knew what everyone was thinking, but now his cultivation didn't have the ability to cast that kind of spell for the time being, so he still had to let everyone wait a little longer. Luo Nan heard that Qin Guan meant to promise himself and others, and hurriedly led everyone to bow down to Qin Guan and said: "Lord Qin Guan is merciful, no matter whether we are dead or alive after getting rid of the ban in the future, as long as we survive for one day, I will definitely saddle the horse for Lord Qin Guan and swear to die without regret." Before Qin Guan could stop everyone, he saw Luo Nan and the others bowing to him three times, but he had no choice but to help them up first, and then said: "There is no need to saddle up before and after the horse, you will all be a member of my Sanqingguan in the future, as long as you don't betray my Sanqingguan and follow the precepts of my Sanqingguan, it's fine." He instructed the five of them again to practice the meditation mantra diligently when they went back, and even if they didn't practice, they had to recite the meditation mantra every day, so as not to be banned and devoured.
-------------------------------------
Finally, Qin Guan's room was quiet, everyone was gone, and Qin Guan could compile the books at hand. Now that he has just finished compiling the "Three Qinglu" of the Qi Cultivation Period, the rest of the content of Foundation Building, Jindan, Yuanying, Huashen and Mahayana is still a lot worse, and he himself has just built the Foundation Period now, and the content behind it can only rely on speculation, which is really a little inaccurate, "Shouldn't I consult Shu Tong's predecessors?" Shu Tong's current realm is only one step away from the Ning Dan Period, and according to Qin Guan's observation, Shu Tong can actually enter the Ning Dan Stage at any time, but for some reason, he temporarily suppressed the growth of his cultivation. Qin Guan also felt strange, and now he took the opportunity to ask him what was going on.
As soon as he said to go, Qin Guan held his Xuanguang mirror and walked towards the place where Shu Tong lived. Shu Tong lived in a courtyard with the teenagers, and there were only four courtyards in the entire station, one was used for Linghe and the two Huan Beasts to live in, one was given to Gu Weirui to live in herself, and Helian Jun, Qingjing, Qingxuan, Luo Nan and Jia Yi and Qin Guan lived in one, and the remaining one was given to Shu Tong and the teenagers. Shu Tong just likes to be with teenagers, and there is also a young man in his early twenties like Song Laosan, who is also very lively.
After passing through the spirit beast garden where the spirit crane and the Huan beast lived, they came to the courtyard where Shu Tong was. Now Song Laosan and they are in class, and they are still in the seal character class of Qingxuan, who is known as the iron-faced instructor, so they are all extremely serious and dare not desert, unlike when they take Qin Guan's exercise class, there are extremely many questions, if it weren't for the fact that Qin Guan has a lot of things in his head, it is estimated that he would have been asked a long time ago. Qin Guan watched the order of the class outside for a while, and asked if he should also let Qingxuan stand behind during the class, so that these monkey cubs could be quiet.
I don't know where Shu Tong came from, ran to Qin Guan's shoulder, grabbed his hair and asked, "Why do you have the leisure to watch the children go to class today?" Qin Guan carried Shu Tong on his shoulder and walked farther before saying, "Senior Shu, I came today to ask for something." "I told Shutong a lot about my thinking, and then I waited for Shutong to give him Shutong.
After listening to this, Shu Tong didn't rush to say anything, and thought for a while before he said: "What you think about is indeed right, your cultivation has not yet reached that place, and it is difficult to describe in words what kind of experience that realm should have." But if you have the practice notes of the elders of Changwuzi, you can think about your own path from them, and then write the path you think about into a book for others to refer to. Cultivating this matter is not just about having the experience of our predecessors, but also about thinking about ourselves. Everyone's path of practice is different, and the purpose and motivation are different. After a pause, Shu Tong jumped down from Qin Guan's body, paced a few steps in the yard, pointed to a flower in the yard and said: "It's like this flower, you see it blooming in this small yard, this is the environment in which it lives, if it is changed to the wild, it may not survive." Like us monks, whether it is a demon cultivator, a ghost cultivator, or a human cultivator, you must find a position that suits your own cultivation. You see there is a mulberry tree next to this flower, and the flower and the mulberry tree are both plants and trees, but they live in the same way, but the results of growth are different, and that's what I want to say. ”
Qin Guan fell into contemplation, it is true that as Shu Tong said, there are no two people in the world who are completely identical, he knows this truth, two people grow in the same environment, and the results will not be exactly the same, so this path of cultivation still has to rely on himself, the experience and exercises of the predecessors are all auxiliary, and he has to rely on himself to constantly modify it to suit him. It is no wonder that the inheritance of monks in this world is one-on-one or one-to-two, three, and a master only teaches a few apprentices, because what is suitable for his own inheritance really depends on luck. "Hey, I don't know how those sects that have tens of thousands of people at every turn have gathered so many people, how much effort does it take to gather from a few people to ten thousand people, it is simply impossible to do without a few thousand people. ”
Shu Tong saw that Qin Guan fell into contemplation, and his psychology of being a good teacher was also satisfied, so he chirped his mouth, and after talking for a long time, he was thirsty, so he went to the house to find water to drink.
Here Qin Guan is still thinking about how to turn the experience into his own, and then teach it to everyone, the teenagers have completed today's lessons, and they are coming out of the classroom one after another. After everyone came out, they saw Qin Guan standing alone under the mulberry tree in the courtyard, with his head down and not knowing what he was thinking. The thin monkey also wanted to go over to say hello to Qin Guan, but was stopped by Xiao Sheng and said, "Don't go over, don't you see that the Guan Master is thinking about things, don't go over to make trouble, disturb the Guan Master's thinking, don't blame Elder Qing Xuan for teaching you a lesson!" Although the thin monkey is older than Xiao Sheng, his cultivation is not as high as Xiao Sheng, so he also listens to this little brother's words on weekdays, Xiao Sheng said that he would not let him disturb Qin Guan, he really stopped, and looked at Qin Guan standing there without speaking. Song Laosan is a steady person, and he is the oldest, and the title of Tie Niu, the eldest brother, is now given to him. However, Song Laosan is now only at the peak level of the forging period, and has not yet entered the qi training period, although Qin Guan has given him a lot of help, but after all, he can't favor one over the other, when the teenagers introduced qi into the body, they didn't have so much help.
Song Laosan took the teenagers back to the house where he and the others were, tiptoeing to not dare to disturb Qin Guan's train of thought. Qing Xuan finally came out of the class, and saw his master in the courtyard in a daze, and wondered what was wrong with Qin Guan, in the past three months, Qin Guan had nothing to do, and he would not take a step out of his own room, why did he come to the class and still fall into deep thought and not speak?
Everyone didn't expect that Qin Guan fell into contemplation, so he thought about it for a day and a night, without eating or sleeping, and everyone was worried, for fear that he would fall into some kind of demonic shock. Luo Nan came over to take a look, and decided that Qin Guan was having an epiphany, nothing serious, but a lot of benefits. "Tsk, the Lord is really a genius, he can enter an epiphany even by saying two sentences, and he is really not a person of the same world as ordinary people such as me. Luo Nan thought to himself. Everyone else was also relieved, anyway, they didn't understand what this epiphany was all about, even Shu Tong didn't know that a few words could make Qin Guan think for so long, and secretly rejoiced that his ability was really great.
