Chapter 14: Preaching

Zhuang Shou heard that there were really people who could become immortals, although the ratio of them was relatively low, but after all, the legends were true. I couldn't help but have the idea of cultivating and becoming an immortal, but I didn't know where to find Master. Seeing that the ape in front of him seemed to know a lot, it was better to ask him, maybe he could show him a way.

Zhuang Shou asked, "I also want to learn some cultivation spells, but I don't know where to find a master who can teach me." Brother Xuan, you are well-informed, can you show me a clear way. ”

Xuan Ape pointed to the people sitting cross-legged on the ground, and said with a smile: "Do you still need to find this? Aren't all the objects on this ground that can be apprenticed?" If you want to cultivate the truth, I think it's too late for them to be happy, so how can they not agree. "In fact, the ape is also selfish. He wanted Yun Chong to embark on the path of cultivation, but Yun Chong was still young now, and it was inevitable that he would be half-hearted. If the people in Yunshui Village can cultivate the truth, then Yunzhong should also have a strong interest in cultivating the truth subtly. Interest in everything is the most important, and the ape knows this.

Li Fu's father, Li Tianzhao, and Li Butcher in the crowd also became interested in Xiuzhen, so he asked: "Brother Xuan, what is going on with Xiuzhen, you can also tell us a good story, so that we can all know what's going on?"

There was a buzz in the crowd, and it seemed that Li Tianzhao spoke their minds. Although the lifespan of the villagers of Yunshui Village is very long, there is still a day when they die. Life and death are the most uncomfortable no matter what time it is. If cultivation can be avoided, then why not?

Xuan Yu raised his hand to signal everyone to be quieter, and then slowly explained: "Xiuzhen is actually to put it bluntly, it is to fight against the sky and fight with the sky. If you win against God, then you will be able to live forever and live with heaven. ”

Huolong knew that most of the people in Yunshui Village didn't know any words, and they might not understand what Xuan Ape said. He had lived with Xuan Ape for so many years, so he naturally knew why he instigated everyone to cultivate the truth together, so he whispered to Xuan Ape: "Big brother, you have to be careful, I'm afraid these people don't understand." ”

Looking at everyone's bewildered looks, Xuan Ape continued: "I'll talk to you about the realm of cultivation. If you want to cultivate the truth, you must first reach the innate realm. Although reaching the innate realm cannot get rid of life and death, it has been able to get rid of old diseases. ”

Zhuang Shou didn't understand what he meant, and asked, "What does it mean to be able to get rid of old sickness, but not life and death? Isn't this a contradiction?"

Xuan Ape explained: "The meaning of this sentence is that after reaching the innate realm, you will not get sick and old in the future, but you still have not gotten rid of the cycle of life and death, and you will die one day. It's just that you're still as young as you were back then. ”

Zhuang Shou suddenly realized and said, "So that's the case, you can go on." ”

"Only those who have reached the innate realm can be regarded as having officially started cultivating the truth. The realm of cultivation is divided into four realms: 'Qi', 'Dan', 'Yuan', and 'God'. These four realms are divided into three realms, namely 'Qi Induction', 'Condensation', 'Gas', 'Brewing Dan', 'Ning Dan', 'Broken Dan', 'Yuan Baby', 'Adult Baby', 'Broken Baby', 'Distraction', 'Nourishing God' and 'Breaking the Void', a total of twelve realms. In addition, each small realm is divided into three stages: the early stage, the middle stage, and the late stage.

Once a cultivator has cultivated to the realm of 'Qi Induction', it means that he has reached the innate realm from the acquired realm, and his lifespan can be extended to about two hundred years old. If he cultivates to the three realms of 'Brewing Dan', 'Ning Dan', and 'Broken Dan', it means that he has entered the Jindan Avenue, then he can already be regarded as a master of cultivation, and his lifespan has been extended to six or seven hundred years old. The most important thing is the 'Yuan Infant' realm, because the 'Yuan Infant' realm can be said to be the biggest threshold on the way to cultivation. As long as you pass this threshold, congratulations, you are already a half-immortal body. From now on, as long as the Yuan Shen is immortal, even if there is no flesh on the body, a bone can still survive, so it can be said that those who have cultivated to the realm of 'Yuan Infant' are already immortal. ”

Zhuang Shou looked at the people sitting on the ground and asked with interest, "Have any of these people cultivated to the Yuan Infant Stage?" He didn't want a murderous and vicious woman like Yao Qian to cultivate to the Yuan Infant Stage. In that way, she can't die for the rest of her life, and she wants to harm people for a lifetime.

Xuan Ape shook his head and said: "Among the people present, only me and Brother Fire Dragon have cultivated to the Yuan Infant Stage, and the others have not, and the most is the Ning Dan Stage." People who have cultivated to the infancy stage can change their appearance at will, and whether they want to be old or young is all in one thought. If any of them had cultivated to the Yuan Infant Stage, I was afraid that there would not be so many old men. "Xuan Ape knows that cultivation is not easy, so he also sympathizes with these people very much, some of them may have been cultivating for hundreds of years, and they still can't break through to the Yuan Infant Stage. He and the fire dragon also barely entered the primordial infant stage after entering the bell space.

Zhuang Shou didn't expect that the Xuan Ape and the Fire Dragon in front of him were already half-immortal bodies, so he suddenly had the intention of apprenticeship, and asked, "Are you willing to accept me as an apprentice?" It doesn't matter which of the two of them worships in the end, as long as he can make him cultivate the truth, he will be satisfied.

Xuan Ape hurriedly waved his hand and said, "That's not good, the cultivation methods of Brother Fire Dragon and I are different from ordinary people, and your physique is not suitable." But the cultivation methods of these people in front of you are very suitable for you, you can just pick and choose. Moreover, the aura here is strong, and your cultivation progress will definitely be very fast. Even if you can't shatter the void in the end, it won't be a problem to live a few hundred more years. ”

Zhuang Shou saw that it was hopeless to worship Xuan Ape as a teacher, so he asked: "Which of these people has the highest cultivation, you name it and let us refer to it." ”

The cultivation of these people is very different from that of the Xuan Ape, and he just casually swept it away and figured out everyone's cultivation.

"Among these people, the highest cultivation should be Yao Xingyuan Yao Hall Master, he is the hall master of Bingxin Hall, and his cultivation has reached the late stage of brewing Dan; followed by Kusang Dao Chang and Aoki Dao Chief, they have all reached the middle stage of brewing Dan; and then there is the eldest apprentice of Yao Hall Master, the second apprentice and the head of these sects, they are all cultivators in the early stage of brewing Dan. The rest of the people haven't started the Jindan Dao yet, and they don't have too much energy to teach you. ”

Yao Xingyuan deservedly became the best candidate for everyone to aspire to apprentice, but Xuan Yu added another sentence so that the rest of the people could be regarded as having a few apprentices.

"Individual cultivation methods are different, and the people who are suitable for them are also different. It's better to wait for them to finish their cultivation and let them choose a suitable person from among you people. If you choose a cultivation method that suits you, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. ”

Yao Xingyuan and the others are meditating now, and they don't hear their conversation, let alone think that they have now become other people's masters. Although this matter is one-sided, Yao Xingyuan and others have not yet recognized it.

Zhuang Shou and the other villagers stood beside Yao Xingyuan and the others, staring at them without blinking, wanting to know immediately whose exercises they were suitable for their cultivation. Xuan Ape himself didn't know when Yao Xingyuan and the others would cultivate this time, so he persuaded everyone to go back first, and when they finished cultivating, they could naturally come back. But I didn't expect these people to be determined to wait until they finished cultivating before leaving. Seeing this, Xuan Ape no longer persuaded him, and led Yun Zhong home.

In the next few days, dozens of people with slightly weaker skills woke up from meditation and felt a little worried when they saw fifty or sixty villagers around them. After knowing that they all wanted to apprentice, I felt a little relieved. But these villagers looked at them so intently that they were so frightened that they hurriedly came out of the meditating people, saying that their cultivation was very low and they could not be other people's masters. But the villagers still asked their names, for fear of encountering a fish-eyed person. Seeing that there were no masters introduced by the ape, he once again stared at the people who were meditating.

Xuan Ape has also come to see them these days, but he knows that he is afraid that by the time everyone has finished cultivating, he is afraid that it will take more than ten days. His immediate priority now is to make Yun Chong know how to read in the shortest possible time. Although Xuan Ape has never heard of the words "knowledge is power", he also knows that cultivation depends on understanding as long as it is understanding. Without comprehension, even if you have a good magic weapon, no matter how many elixirs, no matter how subtle the cultivation of the true immortal recipe, it is useless.

Yun Zhong also lives up to expectations, and he also has some talent in literacy. Within a few days, he had already learned dozens of words, and even Chu Yun, who taught him, praised him for being smart and clever. That said, I don't know how much time it will take to really learn the necessary knowledge. Taking advantage of this time, Xuan Ape asked a few people who had woken up from meditation early, collected their cultivation exercises, and created a new set of exercises to regulate luck by removing the false and preserving the truth. This set of exercises is most suitable for people who have not reached the innate realm and are lingering in the acquired realm.

Xuan Ape passed on this set of exercises to several people and asked them to try it. Unexpectedly, they received very good results, and when Yao Xingyuan finally woke up, their "experimental objects" had reached the innate realm from the acquired realm. Yao Xingyuan was also taken aback when he heard about such a miraculous effect, and wanted to ask Xuan Ape to teach the exercises to his daughter Yao Qian, who was still in the realm of the day after tomorrow. I thought I was going to have some blood and take some tongue, but I didn't expect the Xuan Ape to agree without asking for anything. Yao Xingyuan knew that he was living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and he also admired the generosity of the ape in his heart.

Yao Xingyuan didn't have long to be happy before he ushered in many villagers who wanted to apprentice. Yao Xingyuan has long been tired of intriguing with people outside all these years, and seeing the beautiful environment here and the abundant aura, he can't help but think of living in seclusion. After he shared this idea with his daughter and a few apprentices, they also thought it was a very good idea.

Since you have decided to stay here, you have to mingle with the people here. Yao Xingyuan saw that the people here were simple and generous, polite to people, and even Zhuang Shou, who had offended his daughter before, was polite and polite to them, and he had already been close to them in his heart. Many villagers wanted to worship him as a teacher, but he wanted to accept them all. But thinking that he didn't have so much energy in the first place, and although the cultivation level of Kusang Dao and Aoki Daoren was a little lower than himself, he was also a great person. I can't let them not receive even one of their apprentices.

Seeing that so many people want to worship Yao Xingyuan as a teacher, if you want to say that Kusang Dao people and others are not jealous, I'm afraid no one will believe it. Yunshui Village is full of spiritual energy, although the villagers here do not know how to conduct qi. But living in this environment day and night, the physique has long been far from comparable. It only takes a year or two at most to enter the innate realm, and if other people who have taken decades or even hundreds of years to enter the innate realm know, I'm afraid they will go crazy.

There are about a hundred people in Yunshui Village, and most of them want to cultivate to become immortals.

Yao Xingyuan knew that Yao Qian had been very rude to Zhuang Shou, although there was no displeasure on his face, but he was also afraid that he had a bad heart for Yao Qian in his heart, so the first person Yao Xingyuan chose was Zhuang Shou. Then Yao Xingyuan picked a few more people who felt that they were highly qualified, and the rest of them said that they would not choose anything again. Take a few apprentices who have just been selected to meet Zhang Xuefeng and others.

Seeing Yao Xingyuan like this, how could the Kusang Daoist and the Aoki Daoist not know his intentions, and they were grateful to him in their hearts. They and the heads of the remaining sects each selected apprentices who were suitable for practicing their own exercises.

Let's talk about these sects that came with the Kusang Dao people and the Aoki Dao people. They have a total of five sects, which are Tianyi Gate, Yixian Valley, Shenshan Gate, Yin Yang Gate, and Wuwei Dao School. These sects have only been established for two or three hundred years, and they are not even babies compared to the great sect of Xiuzhen, but the principals of these five sects are all masters of the brewing period, and in Wudang, a big sect like Huashan can also be regarded as a master.

Let's talk about Shi Xiang, the master of Tianyi Gate. He was now more than four hundred years old, and his white beard looked fairy-like. Speaking of how he started to cultivate the truth, it was also due to an adventure. When he was a teenager, he accidentally found a cave when he was herding sheep on Qingzhi Mountain, and after entering the cave, he found a broken book of cultivation methods. It turned out that this was a cave house for a reclusive cultivator. It's just that I don't know how he left his crippled mind later.

Shi Xiang is also extremely smart, and he actually cultivated to the stage of brewing pills at the age of 100 with a broken mental method. But since then, it has not taken a single step forward. Unexpectedly, in less than a month after coming to Yunshui Village, he had reached the middle stage of brewing pills that he had not reached in three hundred years.

The name of the master of the Medical Immortal Sect is Liu Junzhuo, and he is the youngest of the five heads, only two hundred years old. He was originally a disciple of the Eight Banners in the Qing Dynasty, and he was rampant in the countryside on weekdays, and no one dared to mess with him. Later, he angered a local Jianghu person, who was also good at martial arts, and even took advantage of the darkness to kill hundreds of members of his family. Liu Junzhuo lived in a nearby brothel that night to escape, and since then he has changed his name to a Han Chinese, and he never dares to show his face again. But he knew that he had a family vendetta to avenge, so he went around to learn from teachers, and finally learned some secret methods of cultivating truth. But by the time he felt that he had achieved great success and had the ability to take revenge, it would be a hundred years later. Liu Jun pondered that the man should also be dead, and couldn't help but sigh, there is hatred in the world that cannot be repaid, as long as he does not cultivate the immortal law, it will inevitably return to dust and dust after all. Since then, he has concentrated on cultivation, and finally broke through the Qi Transformation Period, reaching the Brewing Dan Period, seeing the beautiful scenery of Tiangui Mountain near Fengyun Town, and few people know it, it is an excellent place to cultivate the truth, so he opened a sect here. Although he had always wanted revenge, his proudest skill was medical skills. After opening a sect on Tiangui Mountain, he named him Yixianmen.

Xin Tongfu, the master of the Shenshan Gate, is the eldest of the five, who is over five hundred years old, so usually the five of them obey his orders. Xin Tongfu is also a poor man, when he just understood what was going on, he caught up with the last years of the Ming Dynasty, and the world was in chaos. In order to escape for their lives, the family fled to Fengyun Town. Along the way, the officers and soldiers chased and killed, and the thieves robbed, and when they arrived in Fengyun Town, there was only Xin Tongfu left in the family. Xin Tongfu lost hope in his future and came to Shenshan, wanting to jump, and he was gone. Unexpectedly, he met the noble person in his life - the head of the Shenshan Gate at that time. Dugu Fang saw that he had good qualifications, so he accepted him as a closed disciple. As mentioned earlier, although the life span of cultivators before the Yuan Infant Period is longer, as long as they do not reach the Yuan Infant Period, they cannot live forever after all. Due to the limitations of his qualifications, Dugu only lingered in the early stage of Broken Dan before he died. Dugu passed on the master's behavior to Xin Tongfu before he died, although several other disciples of Dugu were unwilling, but they also knew that Xin Tongfu's cultivation was higher than his own, and his qualifications were not as good as his own, and it was Dugu's request before he died, so they had no choice but to do it.

The master of the Yin Yang Gate is the only woman among the five. Her name is Shui Sheng, she is about 300 years old, and she is a fisherwoman. Once, when he was fishing, he was discovered by Li Ruiding, the master of the Yin Yang Gate, who was going out at the time. Li Ruifeng saw that she was as beautiful as a flower, like a Qingshui hibiscus, and couldn't help but have bad intentions, and robbed him to the Tangting Mountain near his old nest Fengyun Town to be the wife of the master. Shui Sheng knew that his strength was weak and invincible, so he pretended to be very satisfied with Li Ruifeng, and wanted to live on Tangting Mountain forever, and asked him about cultivation from time to time, and secretly Shui Sheng cultivated alone. Li Ruiding knew that Fanghua was easy to get old, so he always found some panacea for her to eat, hoping that she could stay young. With these many elixirs, Shui Sheng's final cultivation actually surpassed Li Ruifeng. In the end, he was killed while he was not paying attention. But she knew that after more than a hundred years, her family would have died a long time ago, and she would have no relatives when she went back, so she simply stayed on Tangting Mountain and became the master of the Yin and Yang Gate. Several of Li Ruifeng's disciples are usually angry with Li Ruifeng, and when they saw Shui Sheng kill him, and when Li Ruiding was angry with them, Shui Sheng interceded for them, so he was also very grateful to her in his heart. And they also know that Shui Sheng's current cultivation has surpassed Li Ruifeng, and it may be better for them to follow him. Therefore, the position of the master of Shui Sheng is very stable.

The last head of the Wuwei Taoist sect was named Zhang Xuan'er. He was originally a master of the Huashan faction of the Xiuzhen faction, but later he didn't know what mistake he made and was expelled from the door wall by the head of Huashan. Zhang Xuan'er has won the essence of the Huashan faction's cultivation, and has already practiced the Huashan faction's Zixia cheats to the triple level, and there is no opponent among the senior brothers at that time. After being expelled from the wall, Jang Hyun-er traveled widely and made many friends, and learned a lot from the conversations with his friends. Later, I came to Tiger Hill Ling Mountain near Fengyun Town, and saw that this place was very suitable for cultivation. So he founded the Wuwei Taoist School on the mountain. "Wu Wei" is the principle of Taoist cultivation, and it can be seen from the four words "Wu Wei Taoism" that Zhang Xuaner has understood the essence of Taoist cultivation.
