Chapter 344: Cultivation Path
"Miss Zhuo Zhuo, I really didn't lie to you, the Soul Suppression Bead was given to me by Zhang Jing before, and now it has been returned by Zhang Zongzhuo, and it is no longer in my hands. ”
In a guest room of the Huaquan Sect, Su Chen opened his mouth helplessly, his body leaned back slightly, and beads of sweat gradually condensed on his forehead.
"Hmph, the Soul Suppression Bead can suppress people's souls, if you let someone with a heart get it, it will inevitably cause chaos, Su Chen, you quickly hand over the Soul Suppression Bead and let me bring it back to the Holy Courtyard, otherwise I will kill you with one sword." ”
Zhuo Zhuo frowned, looking at Su Chen with an unkind face, her right hand was holding a one-foot-long short sword, the short sword was impartial, just against Su Chen's neck, Su Chen's expression was nervous, like a dead tree standing on the ground, his body did not dare to make the slightest movement, and a slight distance made Su Chen clearly feel the chill of the short sword.
"Miss Zhuo Zhuo, Sect Master Zhang is not a bad person, besides, the Soul Suppression Bead is originally a thing of the Huaquan Sect, and now it is returned to the Huaquan Sect, it can be regarded as the return of the matter to the original owner, he knows the role of the Soul Suppression Bead better than us, we don't need to worry about this matter, if you still can't rest assured, Miss Zhuo Zhuo, when you get to Taihemen, I will inform the uncles of Taihemen about this matter. ”
Su Chen only felt half of her anger, her voice was a little hoarse, Zhuo Zhuo saw this, slowly calmed down, she withdrew the short sword in her hand, and glanced at Su Chen with disdain, "It's a shame that you are still a person in the Taoist sect, and you believe in others so easily, what benefits did Zhang Li promise you to make you believe in him so much?"
"It's nothing, Sect Master Zhang asked us to go to the Treasure Pavilion of the Huaquan Sect to pick up a treasure. Su Chen hesitated for a moment and spoke truthfully.
"Treasure Pavilion, what kind of treasures can such an unpopular Taoist sect of Huaquan Sect go?" Zhuo Zhuo sneered, and the anger on his face was even worse.
"Regardless of whether Sect Master Zhang takes the treasure or not, the Soul Suppression Bead belongs to the Huaquan Sect. Su Chen lowered his head and muttered in a low voice.
"What did you say?"
Zhuo Zhuo's voice became colder and colder, Su Chen didn't expect that he could be heard in such a small voice, he hurriedly explained: "Miss Zhuo Zhuo, this Zhen Soul Bead has been returned to the Huaquan Sect, no matter what you say, it will be in vain, now that the Debate Immortal Conference is about to be held, we should use the Huaquan Sect's teleportation formation to rush to the 'Dao Alliance' as soon as possible, Sect Master Zhang told me, after we select the treasure tomorrow, we can use the Huaquan Sect's teleportation formation to go to the 'Dao Alliance' in the Central Continent." ”
"I'll settle accounts with you later, you tell me which saint you are mentoring from? I have never seen a saint create a proverb with the word 'forbidden', and the killing intent is so strong. ”
Speaking of Su Chen's "forbidden" word motto, Zhuo Zhuo was obviously much more dignified, staring at Su Chen with strong curiosity.
"Well, I studied at a academy in the middle of nowhere. Su Chen thought for a moment, his eyes showed a look of reminiscence, and the thin figure appeared in his mind again, "That academy is not big, there are not many disciples who study Confucianism, all taught by Master Xia, we are busy farming, and when we are free, we chant poems against each other, although Master Xia also teaches us Confucian sage classics, but often extracts the most useful ones for us at this stage." ”
"Farming, how can a person who studies Confucian sacred science do such a vulgar thing?" Zhuo Zhuo once again showed a disdainful expression on his face, "I, a Confucian disciple, devote all our body and mind to studying the sage scriptures and comprehending the sage's thoughts, how can we waste time on other paths?" Oh, forget Su Chen, you are not a pure Confucian disciple, and now you have joined the Daomen. ”
"Dare to ask Miss Zhuo Zhuo what is the avenue and what is the trail?" Zhuo Zhuo's previous ridicule of Su Chen, Su Chen, had never taken it to heart, but now when it comes to his study of Confucian culture for more than ten years and the summer solstice and spring, Su Chen's face has gradually become a little unhappy.
"Hmph, are you trying to argue with me?" Zhuo Zhuo ignored Su Chen's expression and said coldly, " Don't blame me for reminding you, Confucian saints are all over the East, and the saint classics they learn are all created by the saints of the East, and my words are also written in the scriptures of the saints of the East, the saints divide the things of the world into nine paths, the upper three paths, the middle three paths, and the lower three paths, my Confucianism monopolizes the upper three paths, the Buddhist Tao cultivates the middle three paths, and mortals are obsessed, all cultivate the lower three paths, Su Chen, what you just said is the lower three paths, if you let other Confucian disciples know, you will be ashamed to be with you. ”
"All mortals have cultivated the lower three realms?" Su Chen muttered to himself, and then looked at Zhuo Zhuo suspiciously, "As far as I know, Confucian disciples cannot reach the so-called Bigu realm of the Dao Sect if they do not practice, even so, if there is no food produced by mortals in the lower three realms, how can the saint disciples of the upper three realms survive?
"Phew!" Zhuo Zhuo took a sip, but she couldn't find a rebuttal for a while, so she had to say coldly: "I don't argue with people in your wild land, neither Confucian nor Taoist, and after the Debate Immortal Conference, naturally someone will argue with you." ”
Zhuo Zhuo didn't wait for Su Chen's reaction after speaking, pushed the door away, the white cat on her shoulder screamed softly, and her bright eyes glanced at Su Chen and Zhuo Zhuo, and then grinned, jumped up from Zhuo Zhuo, and lay on Su Chen's shoulder.
Su Chen didn't realize it, even Zhuo Zhuo's departure didn't take away too much of his mind, at this moment Su Chen was immersed in the conversation with Zhuo Zhuo just now, and a corner of the Eastern Earth Sage and Sacred Studies had gradually emerged in his heart, but this short corner was very different from the sage of the Southern Tang Academy.
Su Chen naturally believed in his mentor Xia Zhichun, but Xia Zhichun repeatedly admired the holy science of the Eastern Soil, and Confucianism originated and flourished in the Eastern Soil, and it was precisely because of the repeated admiration of the Summer Solstice Spring that Su Chen decided to go to the Eastern Soil alone to seek holy learning, but before he arrived in the Eastern Soil, Su Chen had already discovered the contradiction between the Eastern Soil Sacred School and the Southern Tang Dynasty Holy Learning.
"Su Chen, do you know the difference between Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism?" At this moment, the white cat lying on Su Chen's shoulder spoke lazily, Su Chen was startled, and whispered: "White cat, do you know the difference between them?"
"They can be said to be completely different, or they can be said to be the same. The white cat shook his head, "You are now both a Confucian disciple and a Taoist cultivator, since you want to figure out the difference between the two, why don't you cultivate both?"
"How can this be?" Su Chen's face changed slightly, whether it was Confucianism or Taoism, he was constantly fighting internally, and there was even more interstitial for other sects, when he first entered the Bishan Sect, Yao Liang had made himself cautious more than once, never to reveal his identity as a Confucian disciple, and now the white cat let him cultivate both, which is simply impossible.
"White Cat, do you know that there are people who have dual cultivators of Confucianism and Taoism?" Su Chen's eyes flashed slightly, and he glanced over to look at the white cat.
"Of course, not to mention the dual cultivation of Confucianism and Taoism, even the three cultivators of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism abound, but the methods of the three paths of cultivation are far apart, and even the talented people may fall into it and be unable to extricate themselves. Boy, with your qualifications, it's already good to be able to double cultivate Confucianism and Taoism. ”
After the white cat finished speaking, he jumped off Su Chen's shoulder and paced back and forth, but Su Chen was a little hesitant in his heart, and looked at the white cat's gaze, with a little more doubt, "White cat, where did you come from, how do you know everything?"
"What's the matter, boy, do you doubt me? The identity of the deity scares you to death, there is nothing in this world that the deity knows, as long as you wait for the deity comfortably, you have no chance to become a strong cultivator. ”
The white cat's voice combined with its invincible expression, Su Chen, who saw it, wanted to kick it directly, for the white cat's words, Su Chen selectively filtered, he stretched out his left hand, grabbed the white cat pacing back and forth on the ground, and said viciously: "What have you been doing on Miss Zhuo Zhuo's shoulders for the past two days, do you want to be bad for her?"
"Meow, Su Chen, let go of the deity, otherwise the deity will be unkind to you. ”
The white cat who was suddenly lifted by Su Chen looked embarrassed, and kept scratching at Su Chen with four paws, but Su Chen's hands were long and the white cat's claws were short, no matter how hard the white cat tried, he couldn't touch Su Chen.
"Since you are so powerful, do you know what the Soul Suppression Bead is for?" Su Chen sighed again, put the white cat down, and looked straight ahead, but the rest of his eyes stayed on the white cat.
"Meow, why did the deity tell you?"
"Tomorrow I'm going to the Huaquan Sect Treasure Pavilion to pick up treasures. ”
"Treasure?" the white cat's eyes suddenly glowed green, "What kind of soul suppression bead, it's just a bead contaminated with a trace of the breath of the River Styx." ”
"Contaminated with the breath of the River Styx?" Su Chen blinked, and continued to ask quietly, "What is the purpose of the Soul Suppression Bead?"
"Calm the soul and keep the soul in the sun. The white cat showed a hint of impatience on his face, "The kid doesn't even know this, there's only so much the deity can tell you, if you want to know the rest, wait until Ming Nizun finds the treasure in this broken sect." ”
After the white cat finished speaking, without waiting for Su Chen to continue speaking, he stretched out his legs and disappeared as soon as he slipped through the smoke.
"What the hell is this white cat, running so fast, I don't know if what it says is true or not. Su Chen came back to his senses, he didn't see any trace of the white cat, he muttered a few words, he looked down at the storage ring, the Dongtu study recommendation letter brought from the Southern Tang Dynasty was still lying there quietly, Su Chen muttered to himself: "No matter what, you have to find a chance to go to the Dongtu Holy Courtyard to have a look." ”
......
In the early morning of the second day, Su Chen didn't wake up until late at night because he was thinking about Confucianism and Taoism last night, but Zhuo Zhuo and the white cat and a beast were already standing outside the door outside his door, and after three breaths, Su Chen was woken up by the continuous cat meowing of the white cat.
"Squeak......
Su Chen opened the door with bloodshot eyes, yawning incessantly, Zhuo Zhuo and the white cat were stunned when they saw this, the white cat jumped on Su Chen's shoulder, and said gloatingly: "Boy, I said that it is already extremely reluctant to practice Confucianism and Taoism with your qualifications, and it won't take long for you to go mad." ”
"I just didn't get a good night's rest last night. Su Chen glared at the white cat weakly, then turned his head to look at Zhuo Zhuo and whispered: "Miss Zhuo Zhuo, after we go to the Huaquan Sect Treasure Pavilion to select the treasures later, we will directly use the Huaquan Sect's teleportation array to go to the dojo of the Debate Immortal Conference." ”
After a while, Su Chen saw that Zhuo Zhuo had no reaction, and took the lead in walking towards the Treasure Pavilion.
"Su Chen, how can there be such a saying that people in cultivation have not rested well, you can see that your divine sense is excessively consumed. ”
"Shut up, you're just a cat now, if you let the people of the Huaquan Sect find out that there is a cat demon here...... Hey, the person standing in front of you seems to be Elder Qin Shan?"
