Learn from a teacher

It was night, and most of the people did not sleep. In meditating on the things of tomorrow, tossing and turning. Before I knew it, it was dawning.

A bell rang, breaking the silence of the early morning.

Accompanied by a slight breeze, birdsong, the fragrance of flowers, and fairy mist. It is really a fairyland on earth, picturesque.

The crowd began to get up and wash. After finishing, he hurried to the main hall. The new apprentices were all amazed by the scenery of Baiyun Mountain. When you are done, take your seats in turn. Liang Wu'an and Tian Dahe's apprentices stood on the right side of the Xuantong real person, and the East Dean Elder Geernuo and the West Dean Xiao Lao Dao and the rank of the Elder stood on the left side of the real person. Just wait for a real person to preside over the apprenticeship ceremony.

There are many temples in this Tianshimen, but they are not far apart, and each courtyard has its own responsibilities. The East Courtyard is in charge of Wu, and the West Courtyard is in charge of Dao. The two academies perform their own duties, teach together, and guard the peace of the Heavenly Master Gate. In the North Courtyard, Xuantong Zhenren and Liang Wu'an Tian Dahe's apprentices are in charge. The North Courtyard has always been a place that all the disciples yearn for, because the two most powerful characters of the Heavenly Master Sect, Xuantong Zhenren and Liang Wu'an, are here. They will also personally point out doubts, whether it is martial arts or Dao skills, the speed of improvement is beyond the reach of the dust.

The real person got up slowly, and said bluntly: "My Heavenly Master Sect has been a hundred years since the founding of the sect, and although it has been traumatized many times, it has grown stronger day by day. There are difficulties in life, and it is incumbent upon me to be a celestial master, although I have no regrets in death. Everyone was full of blood and blood, and their eyes were full of worship.

The real person continued: "Today is a war and chaos, and demons are raging. Great calamity came from heaven, and the people suffered. My Heavenly Master Sect wants to recruit new apprentices, support the community, and save the people of Li from fire and water. Wait, it's time to do it!" everyone applauded and applauded, and it was difficult to calm down the excitement in their hearts.

"My Heavenly Master Sect selects disciples strictly, and those who are selected by my two apprentices, Liang Wu'an and Tian Dahe, can directly enter the North Courtyard and give private guidance, and those who are not selected will be preached by the elders of the East and West. He finished his daily studies, and those who excelled could directly enter the North Courtyard to continue cultivating immortals and asked. After a long time, everyone was still reminiscing about the words of the real person. They all looked forward to being able to enter the North Courtyard and become a disciple of Liang Wu'an.

Then, Liang Wu'an and Tian Dahe began to come down to choose apprentices. The two of them both came to the man in white who helped Lu Jingxiu yesterday. Because it shined yesterday, it spread as early as the Heavenly Master Gate. Tian Dahe had already paid attention to him and wanted to take him under his command and teach him carefully. Because of his low status among the disciples of the Heavenly Master, his body is wide and fat, and he has nothing to do, and none of his two apprentices have become successful. That's why people don't see him very well.

"Are you Wu Yue?" asked Liang Wu'an.

Before he could answer, Tian Dahe panicked and said, "I arrived first, I should choose first!"

"Then you ask him if he agrees, and whoever he promises to go with will go!" Liang Wu'an replied.

"Two masters......" The man in white was a little suspicious and didn't know how to answer, so he said: "I am Wu Yue, from Zhongshan." ”

He wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Tian Dahe: "Tell me, are you willing to go with him or with me?"

The corners of Liang Wu'an's mouth rose slightly, and he smiled disdainfully.

"I ...... Willing to worship Liang Wu'an as a teacher. Wu Yue said slowly.

Liang Wu'an was satisfied and wanted to pull Wu Yue out. At this time, the group that followed him got up slightly. Wu Yue made a color, and they already knew it, and sat down with relief.

At this time, Tian Dahe was angry. The apprentices he had chosen thousands of times were chosen in this way, and he didn't have the heart to choose another apprentice. He casually pulled up Lu Jingxiu, who was sitting next to Wu Yue. Lu Jingxiu looked panicked, and he didn't know that he had been selected as Tian Dahe's apprentice.

The two of them each pulled their apprentice to their side. Liang Wu'an had accepted an apprentice Sima Lun before, and when he saw a new junior brother, he greeted him. Tian Dahe pulled Lu Jingxiu over with a sad face and hung it aside. Seeing this embarrassment, his two apprentices came together to greet and introduce. The eldest Wang Shen, the second Liu Yuan. Now I saw the little junior brother, and I thought that the master would not keep scolding himself in the future, and I was very happy that someone could share the scolding.

After their respective greetings and introductions, the real people arranged their own places. The two elders introduced the content of the joint teaching, which everyone must attend. After a short time, the arrangements were completed, and they went back. Waiting for tomorrow's lessons.

Along the way, Lu Jingxiu and the two senior brothers followed Tian Dahe slowly, obviously feeling Tian Dahe's dissatisfaction. Back at the residence, Tian Dahe didn't say a word and went back to his room alone to sleep. The three apprentices didn't know why, and then they went back to their rooms to take care of it.

Not long after, the real person called Liang Wu'an, and Tian Dahe and the elders of the east and west discussed in the back hall of the main hall and stated the relationship.

When everyone learned the news of the birth of the Demon King, they were very shocked and at a loss.

Two hundred years ago, the Demon King endangered the world and wantonly killed the people. Emperor Houdongyue and the Demon True Monarch joined forces to seal it, and the two of them also retired to the rivers and lakes because they were seriously injured. Now, the demon king has reappeared in the world, and I don't know what to do.

In addition, the countries of Kyushu are chaotic and war-torn endlessly. The world is dominated by the Republic of Zhongshan, and each has ten large and small countries. Among them, the Dongyue Kingdom in the east, the North Linguo in the north, the Xijin Kingdom in the west, and the Nanyue Kingdom in the south are the largest. Each has the intention of abolishing Zhongshan and standing on its own, and it is common for small neighboring countries to have wars and disputes. And Baiyun Mountain just stands in the country of Zhongshan, and it has become a matter of Kuang to support the community and avoid disputes and wars.

Let's say that Zhongshan was originally strong and dominated Kyushu. The small countries are all loyal to the Lord. Then every king pampered the harem, drunk and dreamy, did not live or die, did not ask about the court, the country gradually declined, and the countries had the meaning of replacing them. This is especially true when it comes to this monarch. There is a beautiful woman in the harem, and she is very pleased with the king. Because he was jealous of the queen's power, there was also the crown prince Wu Yue, the palace ministers, slaves and other queens, who often displeased the king and the beauty, so they designed to kill her. The crown prince was hidden in a safe place by the prime minister Wang Shoudao, so he escaped death. Wang Shoudao arranged for the dead soldiers in the palace to become ordinary people to protect the prince and go to Baiyun Mountain to learn art, and then return to the palace after learning to measure power. Since Wang Meiren gained power, she was named queen, and her three-year-old son was appointed as the crown prince, and her younger brother Wang Teng commanded the power of the world's soldiers and horses, controlled the government, and was extremely powerful. Officials did not dare to speak out and defected.

Seeing the world fall apart, real people are helpless.

said to Liang Wu'an and Tian Dahe: "If your master Zhuang Dian is still here, it will not make the world like this." The Dian State has a treasure of the town, the seven-star Longyuan sword, as soon as this sword comes out, the world will not dare to disobey. As he spoke, tears flowed from his eyes, he turned around and wiped them dry with his sleeves, and continued: "It's a pity that in that battle, there were five of your brothers and sisters, and only two of you came back, and your uncle was nowhere to be found, and the seven-star Longyuan Sword was also missing. ”

The real person spoke earnestly and said to the two of them: "Have you ever explained anything to your uncle?" Liang Wu'an shook his head in response, Tian Dahe was stunned when he heard this, and the things that the King of Dian had explained instantly appeared in his mind.

After Tian Dahe said goodbye to his uncle Zhuang Dian, he escaped all the way with his little son. He was in a hurry, and he didn't know how many ups and downs he had experienced, and he was already exhausted at this time. At that time, Tian Dahe had just entered the theater and was still very young, and it was not easy to escape after such a thrilling adventure. Tian Dahe walked for three days with the little boy in his arms, and he didn't know where he went. Seeing that the little boy was crying a lot, he might be hungry. So he hid him in the grass by the river, and went out to find some food for himself. After Tian Dahe left, a strange wind blew it into the river and drifted into the distance. After Tian Dahe came back, he couldn't find the little boy and cried in a hurry. After searching for two days and two nights, he still didn't find it, so he gave up and went to Baiyun Mountain alone.

Tian Dahe saw that the real person had been staring at him, and his words flashed to the real person: "No, it was extremely chaotic at that time, and I was able to escape by fighting to the death." When the real person saw this, he stopped asking.

Elder Dong said: "Recently, I often feel that there are people in black in my hospital, but unfortunately I haven't figured out who it is, I am afraid that there will be a gap to enter our hospital to steal secrets, in order to make a big deal!"

Elder Xi also echoed: "He's right, I recently watched Wu Yue's words and deeds, and he actually made the descendants of the Zhongshan royal clan have a unique Heaven and Earth Xuanhuo Technique, and there is a group of dead soldiers behind him, I don't know what he is doing when he incarnates as an ordinary person to come to my Heavenly Master Sect?"

"If there is a vision today, demons are rampant, and I am afraid that there will be lawbreakers who will infiltrate my Heavenly Master's Sect, you must treat it carefully and find out those with ulterior motives. Otherwise, my Heavenly Master Sect will not know how to deal with itself in the future!"

After a short time, after the discussion, they each returned to their own lodgings. Along the way, Tian Dahe kept following behind the real person, faltering thoughtfully. When he returned to his residence, he walked back to his room, closed the door and lay on the bed. The three apprentices were also shocked, as if they had made another mistake that made the master unhappy. Without saying a word, work hard and cultivate. After the master closed the door, the three of them gathered together to discuss Tian Dahe's strange behavior today.

After Mao Xiaoer, who was entangled with Lu Jingxiu yesterday, returned to his residence, he saw many senior brothers who had been in the Heavenly Master Gate for many years, so he asked around if there were any people who grew up in the Heavenly Master Gate and looked like they were twelve or thirteen years old. Everyone replied no, no child had come here since they entered the Heavenly Master's Gate. Mao Xiaoer looked surprised, locked himself in the room, thought for a long time, and didn't know why. He said to himself: "What's the matter? His grandmother's, didn't you say that he was in the Heavenly Master Gate? I haven't grown up here since I was a child for a long time, where can I find this person for you!" was angry, and somehow let it out, so he casually scolded the mysterious man in black who let him find someone. Mao Xiaoer was also helpless, because his family members were all arrested by the man in black. If he didn't follow the orders of the man in black, he would never see his family again. I had to enter the Heavenly Master Gate in disguise to find out the news for the man in black, as well as to find the Seven-Star Dragon Yuan Sword.

The next day, these people were all arranged to be at Elder Xiao of the West Courtyard. After everyone chose their seats, they saw Elder Xiao holding a copy of the Tao Te Ching and walking straight to the podium in front of the seat and sat down. Then he said: "Tao is the foundation of my Heavenly Master's Sect. Without a way, it is not enough to stand in the world. My Western Academy majored in Taoism, which is divided into four stages: Taoism, Cultivation, Enlightenment, and Creation, and each stage has five levels. With each level, your realm rises by one level. Dao is also the most difficult in my Heavenly Master Gate. At present, the senior brother you admire has only only reached the third level of cultivation, and our master of the real person is only at the fourth level of enlightenment. Therefore, the person who can control the entire situation of the Heavenly Master Sect is not how high your martial arts are, but mainly depends on where your Dao goes!" Everyone began to be suspicious, and they couldn't believe that the two most powerful people in the Heavenly Master Sect had only reached this stage in Daoism.

The elder continued: "Only if you learn the Tao well, it will be beneficial to your martial arts enhancement, if you don't learn the Tao well, no matter how many martial arts cheats you learn, you won't be able to improve!"

At this time, everyone began to understand the importance of Taoism in the future. Just as Elder Xiao was talking, a voice suddenly came, "Elder, where are you cultivating?"

Suddenly interrupted, the elder searched to see who was so uninteresting as to ask such a question. After looking for a long time, I still didn't know who it was, so I said: "I definitely don't have the cultivation of the real people, but it is more than enough to teach you!" The audience was startled, shocked back by his voice, and began to study seriously.

I had to study in the West Courtyard for a whole day, during which Lu Jingxiu was still difficult to listen to seriously at first, but later on, I became more and more restless. Wu Yue, who was sitting next to him, greeted and took care of him from time to time, and helped solve the suspense. Because Lu Jingxiu has never read the Tao Te Ching, in his situation, he can't understand the meaning of it at all, and he can only learn it head-on.

The day's lessons left everyone exhausted, and they didn't know what they were talking about today. Everyone realized that Taoism was not an easy task. Being able to cultivate to enlightenment is already ruthless, so he has a sense of worship for real people. The men returned to their lodgings with weariness and doubt.

From a distance, you can see Tian Dahe waiting for Lu to come back from the retreat, his hands behind his back, his expression is strange and angry, and he is not angry and arrogant. The eldest Wang Shen looked at his master Tian Dahe, and then at the junior brother Lu Jingxiu, he felt that it was not good, something big must happen. He hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Lu Jingxiu down to his master's side, Tian Dahe, and made a look to signal him to admit his mistake to his master, so that his old man's anger could dissipate. But Lu Jingxiu looked dazed and at a loss. I didn't know what to do, I bowed my head and didn't dare to breathe. At this time, Tian Dahe suddenly coughed, and the three of them also shuddered, thinking that the time had come to be scolded.

Tian Dahe looked at Lu Jingxiu and said, "What did you learn when you went to the West Courtyard today?"

Lu Jingxiu's flustered words did not reach the meaning: "I studied the Tao Te Ching for a day. ”

"How did you learn, and how much did you understand?"

Lu Jingxiu looked at it and didn't dare to answer this question, but it didn't work if he didn't answer, so he said slowly: "I don't understand, I haven't learned anything!"

I saw Tian Dahe take out a copy of the Tao Te Ching from behind him and throw it to Lu Jingxiu, and said, "Take this book, you take it and take a look, I have made annotations, if there is anything you don't understand, ask your two senior brothers." After speaking, he looked at the two of them, and the two senior brothers were startled, so they hurriedly walked to Lu Jingxiu's side, flipped through the "Tao Te Ching", and pretended to help him explain the meaning. Seeing this, Tian Dahe was very satisfied, put his hands behind his back, and walked back to his room with a proud look. The door was closed, and the outside was back to the peaceful situation it had been before.

Senior Brother Wang Shen has been in the Heavenly Master Sect for a long time, and he was still very serious when he first started studying, but later, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't improve. Neither Taoism nor martial arts have grown, and even Master Tian Dahe has no hope for him, and he gradually gave up on himself, no longer practicing seriously, and has learned to slip his beard and shoot horses. Every time he was about to be scolded, he relied on his three-inch tongue to avoid a scolding. And the second child is just the opposite of him, with a solid and stable personality, reliable work, but it is not a piece of cultivation material, I don't know who I learned the fortune-telling technique with copper coins, plus I usually like to inquire about gossip, so those who come to him to measure admire his accuracy, and he also has the title of "Liu Banxian" in Tianshimen. But none of this is what Tian Dahe needs, he needs an excellent apprentice to improve his status in the hearts of everyone in the Heavenly Master Sect, but after thinking about these three apprentices of his, the day of his emergence is gone.
