Chapter 188: Master Ning
Hao Zhicheng looked at Fan Jian, who was confused, smiled secretly in his heart, and said, "Fan Daoyou, but he is thinking about whether this contribution point is good or bad?"
Fan Jian hesitated for a moment before he nodded and said, "What the chief manager said is that I'm afraid that this so-called contribution point can't be seen or touched, so it doesn't look like it can buy things!
Hao Zhicheng understood his thoughts and said, "Fan Daoyou don't have to worry, here in our Lingshan, as long as it is a matter decided by the Cultivation Federation, no one will object." Besides, as long as we release some benefits from the Repair Alliance, then the people who join in wish that the contribution points were distributed earlier, how could they oppose it?"
"Benefits?" After hearing what Hao Zhicheng said, Fan Jian was a little puzzled, "What kind of benefits can that be?
Yu Qi said: "It's not impossible! Among the several sects of my sect, there are naturally a lot of exercises to inherit, and it is a good idea to select some less important ones and list them to teach others! ”
The five Jindan monks on the side were all a little surprised at this time, although they also said just now that one of the means of the cultivation federation to win people is to open up some exercises for the monks in the cultivation federation to choose, but that doesn't mean that they have to make a move now, they are really anxious. Besides, the scale of the Sanqing Palace is not very large now, compared to the five sects of them, it can only be regarded as a medium-sized sect, if it weren't for the emergence of a Yuanying monk like Gu Qinfang in the sect, the other five sects might not look at them at all, how could the Sanqing Palace be able to take out some exercises to others while talking?
Yu Qi said with a smile: "You fellow Daoists don't have to speculate about the thoughts of my Sanqing Palace, although there are few people in my Sanqing Palace, but the door does not value the exercises. Presumably, all of you must also know that my Elder Gu of the Yuanying Cultivator of the Sanqing Palace is not a particularly advanced exercise, but why was she able to cultivate to the Yuanying Stage in more than 400 years? ”
The psychic Taoist asked, "This mental nature is easy to understand, that is, the cultivation of mental nature, and we people in our cultivation must know it." But what does that mean creativity?"
Yu Qi replied: "Creativity, as the name suggests, is to use one's own knowledge to create one's own cultivation methods, and it is not limited to the inheritance of predecessors. Of course not, take Patriarch Cangwuzi, one of the patriarchs of my Sanqing Palace, for example, he only entered the cultivation a thousand years before the cultivation calendar, and the reason why he was able to cultivate all the way to the Mahayana period was nothing more than his own understanding. You must know that at that time, there were not as many exercises in circulation as there are now, and you can only rely on your own understanding, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will naturally be rewarded. But why are there so few Infant Monks now? Have you ever thought about this reason?"
Everyone present fell into deep thought, and after a while, someone hesitated and said, "Could it be that we have done something wrong by inheriting the exercises of our predecessors?"
Yu Qi shook his head: "Of course it's not wrong. My palace master once said that you can see farther by standing on the shoulders of giants, but if you want to stand on the top of giants, you need to rely on your own understanding and heart. Learning from others, you can never surpass others, and you can only achieve god-likeness at most, but you can't surpass it. ”
Xuan Yuanzi sighed: "The Qin Palace Lord's words are very kind, it is really unimaginable, the age of the Qin Palace Lord is actually a fraction of what I am waiting for. Hey, I've been waiting for a lifetime of cultivation, and I don't know where I've cultivated. ”
The other four also nodded together and sighed.
Fan Jian was also curious in his heart at this time, why a monk who was not as old as himself could actually sit in the position of the head of the Sanqing Palace, and still make his subordinates so convinced, even the Jindan monks of other sects admired him so much, he was really a genius.
Hao Zhicheng smiled at this time: "It seems that you also have great respect for my palace master! If those disciples of my Sanqing Palace are here, they will definitely take you as confidants! My palace master has actually said that he is also standing on the shoulders of giants, and he is nothing more than good at summarizing and inducting, and he can't afford your feelings." ”
Everyone spoke for a while, and Hao Zhicheng took Fan Jian out of the hall and returned to the place where Fan Jian lived.
Sitting on the chair, Fan Jian touched the Xuantie token in his hand, although the Xiu characters on it looked strange, they were not so illegible, but they didn't look like a kind of writing anywhere in Tianyuan. He also once asked Hao Zhicheng, and the answer he got was written by Qin Guan, which is one of the four characters that the disciples of the Sanqing Palace must learn at the beginning. Shaking his head, he sighed again that the mind of a genius is really different from a mortal like himself.
"I don't know when this contribution point will be sent. Although the exercises I am cultivating now are enough for me to cultivate to the late stage of foundation building, there is no way to follow if I go any further. Master, he is an old man, before the immortal left, that is, he stopped at the late stage of foundation building. If you want to go further, you may have to find another way. But since the master has passed on the exercises to me, I can't give up this method, and after changing the exercises, won't I even lose the teacher's inheritance? ”
"But if I just do it behind closed doors here, there will inevitably be omissions, and I don't have such a genius brain, no matter how beautiful my thinking is, it will be of no practical use!
This conversation of the Sword Pavilion was called the turning point of the Beihai Cultivation Federation by later generations, although there were only Jindan monks from the six sects, as well as the first chief manager of the Lingshan Bazaar, and an ordinary cultivator, but the significance was far-reaching. If the Beihai Monk Alliance, which Qin Guan had established on a whim, to persuade the Yuanying monks of the other five sects to jointly build as the founding time of the Cultivation Federation, then this Sword Pavilion meeting was enough to become the foundation laid by the Cultivation Federation in the true sense. Originally, Qin Guan wanted to pour the strength of several sects into promoting the Beihai Cultivation Alliance, but the effect was not so obvious, and it was not a long-term solution. However, after the Sword Pavilion talks, the Xiulian corrected Qin Guan's omissions, filled the gaps in the system, and allowed the Xiulian to exert its true strength, so it was officially called by later generations.
Of course, at this time, Qin Guan had not yet seen the true power of the Cultivation Alliance, and he was still worried about his cultivation path. "I've been trapped in Jindan for several years, and compared to the rapid progress I made before, it can be said that I am stagnant now. Hey, what's that going to be?"
Sitting opposite him was Gu Qinfang, the only Yuanying monk in the Sanqing Palace, with a helpless look on his face: "Palace Master, don't complain." If you are heard by others, you will think that you have been trapped in Jindan for hundreds of years. I have been polishing in the realm of perfection for decades before I can break through the obstacles and become a baby. How can there be a cultivator like you, who can't encounter any bottlenecks. ”
What she said was also helpless, after all, Qin Guan's cultivation time was decades, and when she was less than a hundred years old, she didn't know what stage of the foundation building period it was, of course she didn't understand the reason why Qin Guan was so anxious.
Qin Guan smiled bitterly and said, "Elder Gu, I'm not complaining, I just think that something that should have been simple has trapped my hands and feet, so I'm puzzled." ”
Gu Qinfang rolled her eyes in her heart, she was always a little envious of Qin Guan's talent, but after all, she was the palace master of her own family, and she still had to give face, so it was not good to show it too obviously: "Palace master, you are just too eager, so you can't break through this barrier." Why don't you just go out for a walk, and you don't have to go far, just take a look in the bazaar, maybe you can make new discoveries? Hongchen is so annoying, but our Sanqing Palace is not one of those sects that can only be cultivated? You also told me at the beginning, behind closed doors will only increase troubles, it is better to take a walk more, take a look more, why do you forget it when you arrive?"
Qin Guan closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then nodded: "Elder Gu is right, since this is the case, I might as well go to the bazaar incognito to take a look, not only to break through the obstacles, but also to see how far the bazaar has come now, so that I can plan for the future, and I should also distract myself." After being in the cage for a long time, you can return to nature. I've been in the palace for a long time, and this mind is always not so accessible. ”
He didn't say hello to others, came out of the cave, and walked out of Fangcun Mountain as soon as he turned around. Let Gu Qinfang, who was behind him, see it, and think with a wry smile that this palace master of his own family really wants to play one out and one play. He patted his ass and left, staying in the huge Sanqing Palace, and the daily management work was handed over to himself, and he was going to live a life of being a shopkeeper again. "Well, it's already in the infancy stage anyway, and it's time to share something. Gu Qinfang shook his head with a smile, turned around and came to the council hall, summoning the heads of various institutions to come to the council hall to discuss the matter.
Qin Guan naturally didn't know anything about the deliberations in the Sanqing Palace, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care, after all, since he said that he wanted to be the shopkeeper, he must do what he said.
Walking on the street of the bazaar, looking at the people coming and going, the mood suddenly became comfortable, although there are not too many people in the Lingshan bazaar today, plus the monks who have come here to join the Xiulian these days, there are only more than 20,000 people, placed in the huge Lingshan, there is no splash at all.
The place where Qin Guan is staying now is the Fang Market to the north of the bazaar, surrounded by buildings under construction, just looking at this scale, it is enough to open more than 200 shops, but for the land occupied by the Fang Market, it is only less than one-tenth. "Tsk, I really didn't expect that Hao Zhicheng really had a lot of ideas, such a large area was allocated to Fang City, and I was not afraid that there would not be so many shops in Lingshan to open. ”
As I walked, I suddenly saw a crowded place in front of me, bustling, and I don't know what was noisy. Qin Guan thought to himself, anyway, there is nothing left and right, just when he meets him, he will go and take a look.
He has not been in such a lively mood for a long time, after all, there will be no one who does not know him, and naturally there is no such a lively scene for him to join. Besides, he is a head of the family, and he came to others for no reason, and he can't say that the disciples under his door are not enough to be afraid, how can there be excitement.
But when you get to the Lingshan Bazaar, you don't have to care so much, anyway, the people around you don't necessarily know him, and he also changed his appearance a little, and if his cultivation is not higher than him, it is impossible to see through his disguise.
"Hey, borrowed and borrowed. With his vigorous posture, he finally got out of the crowd and came to his mouth, and what caught his eye was a small square table, on which was just a pile of yellow paper, a rack of brushes, and behind the square table was an old man with crane hair and a childish face, who was smiling and talking to a monk in front of him.
"I already know what you think in your heart, do you want to calculate your future? ”
The monk in front of him smiled, took out two lower grade spirit stones, put them on the table and left. Immediately after that, another monk came and sat down on the chair and asked respectfully, "Master Ning, please give me the calculation." With that, he drew a spirit stone on the table.
Ning Shi glanced down, then pointed at him and said with a smile: "You, you, you are all cultivators in the late stage of foundation building, why do you still look like you are dying and asking for money." Isn't that pile of spirit stones in your pocket enough for you to spend?hahaha, but I already know what you think in your heart, do it boldly, and within three or five years, you will earn a lot of money by keeping it. ”
The man walked away thankfully, and then another man followed. Qin Guan understood it, it turned out that this old man with a childish face was telling fortunes, just by looking at the picture drawn by the fortune teller, he could know what the person wanted to measure, and then give his own calculation results.
He looked at the novelty, for so long, he hadn't met someone who could calculate people's fate, and he didn't know if he was like his grandfather Qin Peili, who could also calculate good fortune and evil. So after the person in the chair thanked the old man, he grabbed ahead of the others, sat on the chair, and asked with a smile: "Master Ning, please count it for me." He was just about to lift the pen, Ning Shi frowned slightly, pinched his fingers a few times, and said, "This honored guest doesn't need to draw, I can't calculate your luck." ”
The people around him were in an uproar, Master Ning was a well-known senior in the scattered cultivation, and his cultivation had been in the late stage of Jindan for many years, just in terms of age, he was older than the head of Jindan of several major sects, and for so long, he hadn't heard of Master Ning's miss, how could he meet someone he couldn't count today?
