Chapter 15: A Chance

Three days after fighting the Jing Demon, Li Ji finally waited for the news he had been looking forward to, and the Heavy Law Daoist would leave Cixi tomorrow and specially appointed him to escort him. "Is it finally coming?" Li Ji knew in his heart that this was his last chance.

The murderous house sacrificed his life to play the demon, ignored the treasure of the well demon, and returned to the town to keep his mouth shut, all of this he did was actually only for the Taoist's guidance. It is difficult to cultivate immortals, especially ordinary people at his age who have no status and network resources. Missing this one, he couldn't think of where to find the next opportunity.

Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven, that's all... He had already decided that even if the Taoist refused this time, he would leave Cixi. The outside world is wonderful, and he doesn't have much time to stay in such a place to accumulate strength... Laziness is a product of time, and getting used to being stable and comfortable can only make him lose the courage to go out more and more... Even if you don't have a chance with Xiuzhen in the end, it's good to go out and take a look while you're young... I made up my mind, and finally let go of the mood of suffering from gains and losses, and I had no dreams all night...

Shuangcheng is located more than 200 miles northwest of Cixi, with many mountainous roads along the way, and occasional bandits, which are not a problem for both Chongfa and Li Ji. The famous Li You is still very deterrent around Cixi, he has walked this road many times by himself, and the thieves don't come to provoke him, there is not much oil and water or a hard bone, why bother?

Cixi prepared a carriage for the Taoist, of course, it was from Wang Dahu, with Li Ji's thoughts, the Taoist is probably not lightly injured in the murderous house, otherwise with his elusive Taoist means, this slow carriage is a pure waste of time.

Out of the requirements of the heavy law, there was no groom arranged for this trip, and there were only two of him in a line, but fortunately, Li Ji was no stranger to catching a car, and he was not as familiar with it, and it was no problem to drive normally.

The two set off early in the morning, had nothing to say all the way, rested at the tip, fed the horses, and Li Ji took care of them alone. The Taoist stayed in the carriage all the time, and he didn't even use the dry food handed over by Li Ji, "Maybe the cultivation is like this, and the food and drink dew describe such a person" Li Ji thought maliciously.

The Taoist didn't say a word, and Li Ji was also a little tired of the expectation in this silence, he didn't like the feeling of being controlled. I didn't rest at night, I hurried all night, and on the second day, after a day and a night of galloping, I finally saw the walls of the twin cities, which were not very tall. On the last hillside before entering the city, the Taoist who had not spoken for a long time knocked on the wall of the car.

Li Ji stopped the carriage, watched the Taoist get out of the car, walked to the hillside and quietly stared at the city wall in the distance, and after a long time, he asked, "Do you know how to cultivate the truth?"

"I don't understand... Li Ji told the truth, everyone is old and refined, and he always has a feeling of being seen through.

The Heavy Dharma Daoist nodded and said, "The Northern Regions of the Cold Continent, the kingdom is hundreds, the big cities are thousands, the population is trillions, and those who really form the Golden Pill and are expected to live forever are only a few people for more than ten years, do you know what this probability means?"

Without waiting for Li Ji to answer, the Taoist continued, "Don't mention it far away, let's just say that the south leaves the country, nearly 100 million people, and there are only 100 people who feel the qi into the body and step into the threshold of cultivation every year, this is only the first step of cultivation, and then practice, the higher it goes, the more difficult it becomes, how many people are really successful?

Seeing that Li Ji was silent, the Taoist sighed, "In the eyes of outsiders, monks can use clouds and fog, control water and call fire, and thunder in their palms, which is a great scenery, and it also has an increase in lifespan, so I can't help but yearn for it." But I don't know the way of cultivation, the difficult competition of martial arts, the narrow victory of the official path, the scenery in front of the people, but I don't know how much hard work is behind it. You have a tenacious heart, are resourceful and decisive, do not overflow with exaggeration, and are really a good cultivator in terms of nature, but... You are over ten years old, and your bones are unbearable, but the posture of the middle and lower is a taboo in practice. The so-called wealth and law, you are even more untouchable, forced into this way, but it may not be as easy to get a good end as surviving in the mortal world. ”

The Taoist turned around and looked directly at Li Ji, "If you are a few years younger, with your heart, I may be able to accept you as an apprentice, but in your current situation, I am limited by the rules of the master, but I can't accept you, I have a few words to ask you, can you return to me with your heart?"

"Chief, please speak, the boy will not violate his heart... ”

"If I have a chance with you, no matter whether it succeeds or not, the cause and effect between you and me will inevitably end, do you know?"

"The boy understands that a chance is enough... ”

"Cultivation is really difficult, all kinds of passes, and there are many sects, Taoism disputes, and people, demons, ghosts, and other worlds, often fighting for life and death, the Tao has not been cultivated, it is very common, do you know?"

"Achievement is not afraid of life and death, it is better than doing nothing, eating and waiting for death for a lifetime. . . ”

"Once you enter the cultivation, it is as deep as the sea, but when you look back, you have no parents, and your relatives and friends in the mortal world are probably all clouds of smoke, do you know?"

"Although the performance is not alone, there is not much concern in this world... ”

"So, you have listened carefully to what I have said below... The Taoist said solemnly, "Although I can't accept you into my door wall, but I have a friend, the Tao is profound, for the Crescent Moon Sect Inner Gate Elders, their Crescent Moon Sect, in September this year, there was a meeting to open the door to accept disciples, this sect has often had difficulties in recent years, the inheritance of the sect is difficult, so the standard of accepting apprentices is relaxed a lot, this is your opportunity... If you hold my token, you can get a chance, but whether you can grasp it in the end depends on your luck, but it has nothing to do with me, do you understand?"

"Thank you for your guidance, the road is finally walked out by yourself, how to complain about others... Li Ji was in a surging mood.

The heavy Dharma Taoist nodded, took out a jade slip from his bag, thought about it, and took out two ingots of fifty taels of gold, "The Crescent Moon Sect is in the territory of the Zhou State, and there is a Taoist temple named Xiaoyue Temple on the outskirts of Shenfang City, the capital of the country. This hundred taels of gold can be regarded as my parting gift... “

"How can this be used, given the opportunity, how can you receive any more money... Li Ji bowed, and then wanted to refuse, when he looked up, there was still a trace of the Taoist in front of him...

Li Ji sighed in his heart, although he did not have much contact with the people who valued the Dharma and Taoism, but this old man had the style of an ancient gentleman, his conduct was noble, his face was cold and his heart was hot, and he could really be a good teacher and helpful friend. Seeing that he is not optimistic about himself like this, could it be that his own roots are really poor? Or is the factor of age so important? Thinking about it, he can't get results, so he can only press the melancholy in his heart, hide the jade Jian's precious and important body, turn the horse's head, and go back to Cixi.
