Chapter 20: Preaching and Self-Enlightenment
Seeing that Mu Chen did not intend to retreat, Qin Xiuzi continued:
"Second, the world knows that there were three disasters in ancient times, one was drought, one was flood, and one was epidemic. β
"If you want to leave your sect and seek revenge, you must chase three disasters for the world. β
"My generation led you into the Tao, the original intention was to stand up to the heavens and the earth, give birth to the people and educate the people, but your mortal heart has not changed, and you are stubborn, so if you leave the sect and become independent one day, you should first drive these three disasters for the world, in order to repay the kindness of the common people and the sect. β
When Mu Chen heard this, he nodded solemnly.
He practiced Taoism for the sake of the common people in the world, although his parents were kind, but it was not in conflict with his own disaster relief and people.
However, the disaster in Qin Xiuzi's mouth is not an ordinary disaster, and it should be written as a disaster.
The disasters in this world are all caused by the birth of the beast, but the beast will also hide, sometimes for years without being found.
Or maybe the cultivators have not yet found a way to drive them away, so there will be a picture of disasters and hungry flies all over the wilderness.
And the expulsion and extermination of the calamity beast is by no means something that can be done by a certain immortal cultivation sect alone.
To deal with the beasts, the monks required are as few as a few hundred, or as many as tens of thousands, and they must also use the Xuanhuang of Heaven and Earth as a array, sacrifice the ancient treasures, and gather the aura of everyone to drive them away, so that they can be killed!
The second article mentioned by Qin Xiuzi is more difficult than the first one.
Mu Chen didn't retreat in the slightest, looking at him like this, even Qin Xiuzi didn't know whether this young man's heart was really so resolute, or if Huangkou Xiao'er was not afraid of tigers.
But he slowly uttered the last promise.
"Third, you have to find out what mystery is hidden in the black bag left by your mother. β
"If one day you can break all the prohibitions she has set, you will be able to deal with everything in this world. β
Qin Xiuzi suddenly mentioned the Wu clan, and Mu Chen's heart tightened.
It turned out that Qin Xiuzi had long known what his mother had left for me, and he also knew that his mother had set a ban on the bag, and no one could open it. β
'He wants me to break the ban, is he, is he really ......'
Mu Chen panicked in his heart, but he had never seen greed and desire from Qin Xiuzi, unlike what the ghost-faced man said, he only left himself on Zhushan in order to use himself to break the ban.
After thinking about it, Mu Chen suddenly wanted to take the initiative to ask Qin Xiuzi what he thought, even if he didn't tell the truth, he could see the clue from it.
"Master, do you know what my mother left for me?"
Qin Xiuzi shook his head without any pause or hesitation.
"Then youβThen don't you want to know what my parents left me with their baby?"
"Haven't you really been impressed at all?"
Mu Chen's question blurted out, and Qin Xiuzi instantly turned around and stared at Mu Chen's face.
Qin Xiuzi's eyes were blazing, and the meaning expressed on the old man's face was something that Mu Chen couldn't understand, but the complexity in his eyes made Mu Chen's heart tremble.
Mu Chen thought that his question had collided with Qin Xiuzi, and was about to say something, when he suddenly heard Qin Xiuzi laugh three times, and he actually stepped on his sword and flicked his sleeves and flew away.
Between the world and the world, his frank and heroic voice came again!
"The foolish woman of Huiji invited the buyer, Yu Yi resigned from his home and went west to Qin, looked up to the sky and laughed and went out, how can my generation be a Penghao person!"
"The true way of normality, the enlightened are self-satisfied, and the enlightened are always quiet. β
"The trip of the avenue, the world is for the public!"
"My avenue is for the transformation of sentient beings!"
"There is no quarrel in the last life, and there is no delusion!"
"Idiot, idiot!"
"Mu Chen, your Dao heart still needs to be enlightened, and it needs to be realized for another hundred years!"
"Hahahahahaha
"Hahaha-"
The truth is not chiseled into the heavens, and the food and drink are natural.
Lust is not born and there is no temptation, and the quality of a saint is self-contained. β
Looking at Qin Xiuzi's dashing and fearless figure, accompanied by the reverberating words of enlightenment, for some reason, Mu Chen's red and bitter eyes actually left two lines of tears.
......
......
It was night, everything was silent, and Qin Xiuzi's frank laughter had long disappeared in the mountains and forests.
The bleak moonlight sprinkled all over the earth, and the desolate bamboo grass seemed to be condensed with a layer of white frost under the light of the cold moonlight.
The fog was just like a burst of cold air, blocking out the light.
Moaning in confusion, Mu Chen sat on a big stone in the bamboo forest, he looked up at the sky, and his thoughts became thicker.
Qin Xiuzi's words kept echoing in his mind, and in front of him was the dashing back of the man waving his sleeves.
Mu Chen couldn't understand what those words were saying, but he clearly felt the old Taoist's response.
There were faint insects chirping and frogs chirping in an unknown place, accompanied by Mu Chen all night, and when he came back to his senses, the sun had pressed on the clouds.
Only then did he get up, move his muscles and bones, and walk towards the open space that belonged to him, not forgetting to examine himself.
"I misunderstood Master......
"Mu Chen, you are so stupid, how can you ask him such a question, are you really stupid by that thief?"
"Today, I want to find an opportunity to apologize to Master, saying that I talked nonsense last night, and I was bewitched by thieves, so I had distracting thoughts......"
Mu Chen frowned and looked at his feet, there were still traces of the sun wheel in the bamboo forest, as if reminding Mu Chen that everything that happened last night was true.
When he saw the brand-new bamboo pavilion that had been built in front of him, he suddenly stopped.
"This ......"
"Strange, am I going the wrong way?"
"Which senior brother's bamboo pavilion is this?"
Mu Chen ran to the left and right of the pavilion to check, but saw the familiar big stone in front of the bamboo pavilion, which he usually sat on when he was enlightened and cultivated.
There are also sword marks on the bamboo, which are also unique traces left by his practice of the swordsmanship taught to him by his father alone, and the swordsmanship of the bamboo sword hall is more Taiji, and it will not leave such a deep and long tail edge.
Walking into the bamboo pavilion, Mu Chen saw Fu Yi lying on the bamboo mat and falling asleep.
It seems that this tuberculosis has been doing physical work all night, his body is covered with soil, and his body is also heavy, and Mu Chen woke him up for half a day.
"This is my pavilion?"
Fu Yi yawned sleepily, and nodded when he saw that it was Mu Chen who woke him up.
"Then why are you here, didn't you go back to the bamboo house yesterday, and how did the bamboo pavilion be built overnight, did you help me do it?"
Mu Chen asked him strangely, although this Fu Yi often did things that he couldn't understand, he didn't think that Fu Yi would be kind enough to come to help him build a bamboo pavilion in the middle of the night.
And it was almost midnight when he was chased by the ghost-faced man, why did Fu Yi not sleep in the second half of the night and run to work?
"Sort of, I didn't help you build it, who else could be so kind?"
"You bastard, remember to be kind to me in the future!"
Fu Yi stretched his waist and said lazily, so angry that his eyes were coming out.
Mu Chen glanced at him, and took out the bamboo sword from the Qiankun bag around his waist.
"Then you can sleep here by yourself, now I'm going to Qianshan to find Master, thank you for helping me build a pavilion." β
"Wait, you're going to find the old man?"
Fu Yi suddenly got up, called Mu Chen, and looked at him with complicated eyes.
Mu Chen nodded, he had always remembered last night's incident in his heart, and now he wanted to explain last night's offensive words to Qin Xiuzi, and he didn't want to delay for a moment.
Fu Yi held his chin lightly, and the corners of his mouth went down, as if he had lost his mouth:
"Oh, then you don't have to look for him. β
"The old man is gone, and the drought is gone. β
"As for the position of the sect master of the Bamboo Sword Hall, it has also been passed on to Senior Uncle Xuan Qingzi......"
