Chapter 13 The Quest for the Dharma
PS: It shouldn't have been inserted in the book, but I still want to thank the RRS brothers, the skinny brothers, the Zhuxian Sword brothers and the worry-free brothers, since you expect to speed up, there will be three updates from today, the greater the support of readers, the greater the author's motivation, please allow a humble writer to express a gratitude here!
Three years have passed in a blink of an eye, Yang Nan is very different from three years ago at this time, whether it is Taoist cultivation or mental nature has changed a lot, the longer the cultivation time, the more he can realize that in this world, except for the way of immortality, there is nothing else worth nostalgia.
The Tao is endless, the magic power is endless, a hundred years of life are just a snap of a finger, the red dust is just a fleeting illusion, only the supreme heavenly way is the eternal goal!
The deeper Yang Nan's exercises were practiced, the more awe-inspiring the aura on his body became, and wherever he went, the outer disciples and registered disciples in the Kunlun Peaks saw that they all bowed down to give salutes, but when they arrived at the Heavenly Gate, they unexpectedly saw Yuan Qu who had not been seen for a year!
At this time, Yuan Qu is not much different from three years ago, his face is still full of bright smiles, he has grown a lot taller in the past three years, but his body is still a tattered robe, he is talking to the disciple guarding the mountain gate, Yang Nan stopped and retreated, landed beside him, and saw that although he was still smiling on his face, it seemed to have a depressed atmosphere, Yang Nan was very curious in his heart, Yuan Qu was a registered disciple, why did he still wear this tattered clothes? He couldn't help but exclaim: "Yuan Qu, what are you doing here?"
Yuan Qu turned around and saw that it was Yang Nan who called him, and his face showed a little joy: "Yang Nan, it turned out to be you, I haven't seen you for three years, how are you?"
Yang Nan saw that this little monk had entered the Kunlun sect but was still naΓ―ve, and he wanted to make fun of him, so he stepped forward and touched his hairy head and smiled: "Isn't the ancestor screaming? You are so bold! See that I don't spank you!" Yang Nan is an inner disciple, Yuan Qu is a registered disciple, and there are two generations of differences.
How do you know that Yuan Qu heard his teasing words, but said gloomily: "You are not my master now, and I am no longer a Kunlun disciple." β
Yang Nan saw that this little monk didn't seem to be lying, so he frowned and said, "Aren't you already a registered disciple of Kunlun? If there is no reason, who dares to drive you down the mountain?" If Yuan Qu is wronged, although Yang Nan has lost power, he will also ask for justice for him!
Yuan Qu is not Ai Muyun, how could such an innocent and optimistic young man be driven out of the Kunlun faction?
Seeing Yang Nan's unhappy face, a trace of warmth flashed in Yuan Yuan's eyes, and he shook his head and said in a low voice: "It's not that others are chasing me, but I really don't want to stay in this Kunlun faction." β
Yang Nan became more and more suspicious in his heart, although this Yuan Gu is not the best root, but his nature is extremely resolute, three years ago when they went up the mountain together, they saw him indomitable, and he went on the Seven Elements and Seven Evil Paths with only his physical body, such perseverance and temperament are not as good as himself, but at this time he suddenly wants to go down the mountain, which is strange for no reason!
After asking again and again, he realized that the reason why Yuan Qu went down the mountain was not someone else, but because he was affected by himself!
Although Li Changqing was dismissed from the position of the outer disciple, but the children of the Li family have a lot of power in the outer gate, Yang Nan entered the inner door and stayed at home, so they had no way to start, but as a registered disciple, Yuan Qu was excluded and neglected everywhere, not only was his martial arts still lowly in the past three years, but even his duties were the dirtiest and most tiring, and others were the most unwilling to do!
In the past three years, Yuan Qu has been repeatedly abused and embarrassed, even if he is optimistic, how can he stay in Kunlun?
Yang Nan heard Yuan Qu's intermittent words, and a nameless fire suddenly rose in his heart, and the murderous intent in his eyes was awesome, did this Li family really think that this Kunlun faction was their own?
Isn't it just an authentic heir who is immortal? If you don't become a soldier saint or a soldier immortal, there is no hope for immortality, so what's the use of being ruthless and strong?
It's too early to be strong, isn't it? Only by surpassing him in the path of immortality is the right thing!
Yang Nan thought in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Yuang, you must know that cultivation is not a smooth road, and it is also beneficial to suffer some grievances, you are tired by me, I will definitely get it back for you in this breath of the day, you don't want to go down the mountain, just go to my cave, no matter martial arts or Taoism, it is all on me." β
Yang Nan has never wanted to meddle in things, but the Yuan Qu in front of him is simple by nature, and he abandoned the immortal path because of himself, which makes him feel a little guilty in his heart, and he wants to take over the future of the Yuan Qu at the moment, and as his inner disciple, it is naturally easy to find some top martial arts secrets and low-level Dao methods.
As long as Yuan Qu achieves the Great Dao, are you afraid that you won't be able to recover these old debts in the future?
After Yang Nan persuaded him like this, Yuan Qu still shook his head, and said with a resolute expression: "Yang Nan, I know that you are a good heart, but unfortunately I have lost confidence in Taoism, and there is not only Taoism in this world, but I have changed the Confucianism, Demonism, and Buddhism!"
Yang Nan's heart was gloomy, this monastic path pays attention to fate, isn't it fate that Yuan Qu gave up his cultivation after some minor setbacks? Otherwise, how could he despise the Dao Gate because of a trivial matter with his temperament?
I've always called him a little monk, but I didn't expect him to really become a monk in the future!
Yang Nan would not think that Yuan Qu would really go to study and talk about being a Confucian, the Demon Gate is even more delicate and vicious, and does everything, this Yuan Qu's innocent and pure heart is even more unsuitable, the only way is the door that is wide and convenient, and the Buddha Gate that can cultivate the Fa without different phases!
"Okay, since you have made up your mind, I will give you a ride, you and I finally have a fate, and when you are successful, we will meet again. "Yang Nan is also a decisive person by nature, seeing that Yuan Qu persuaded him not to turn back, he no longer insisted on it, perhaps, he may not be able to achieve the Great Dao in Buddhism!
Yuan Qu nodded, he hadn't learned anything in the Kunlun Mountains for three years, but he had a lot of fate with Yang Nan, he met on the mountain, and he also met on the mountain.
When the disciples guarding the mountain gate saw the jade plate on Yang Nan's waist and the edict to go down the mountain, they respectfully called him uncle, and opened the ban to let Yang Nan and Yuan Qu out.
It is extremely difficult to want to go up the mountain, but if you want to go down the mountain, you leave at will, is there still a shortage of registered disciples who have no hope of entering the realm and going down the mountain all these years? There are thousands of immortal cultivators in the world, but how many people can really achieve the immortal path?
The mountain gate mountain protection array is extremely powerful, and it is not easy to enter and exit Kunlun Mountain, but Yang Nan has an edict in hand, and Yuan Qu is out of the door, and the two of them are naturally no problem when they go out, after Yang Nan got out of the mountain gate, he saw that there were still people surging under the mountain, and I don't know how many people in front of the cloud gate were looking forward to becoming Kunlun disciples, and since then they have embarked on the road of cultivating immortals, he recalled the embarrassing situation between himself and Yuan Qu in the path of seeking immortals a year ago, and he did not feel like a dream.
At this time, Yuan Qu also seemed to think of a place with him, and when the two looked at each other, they unconsciously showed a knowing smile.
Yang Nan immediately drove Yin Eclipse, took Yuan Qu and flew towards Xunxian Mansion.
"Yang Nan, do you know what happened to the black-robed man who went up the mountain with us in the end?" Yuan Qu took off for the first time, but he was afraid but refused to speak, so he changed the subject, although his tone was calm, his hands trembled.
Yang Nan smiled secretly in his heart, but he replied lightly: "Oh, you mean Ai Muyun, what happened to him in the end?"
Yuan Qu grabbed his Dao Yi tightly and said with emotion: "At the beginning, you didn't let me meddle in things, but I didn't expect it to be really reasonable, we provoked the people of the Li family for no reason, and everything didn't arise because of that Ai Muyun? Ai Muyun stayed on Kunlun Mountain for less than three months before being driven down the mountain. β
"Driven down the mountain?" Yang Nan said in shock, "Then what is wrong with Ai Muyun?"
Yuan Qu nodded and said: "Yes, who would have thought that Ai Muyun was born in the Demon Sect, I don't know what method was used to cover up the blood and qi on his body and mixed into the Kunlun faction, he actually wanted to enter the Qingxian Peak to steal the Nine Grades of Lingzhi Grass, but he was caught as soon as he made a move, this matter caused a lot of uproar, and in the end, it was the head of Xuanxu who was merciful and only drove him down the mountain." β
Yang Nan has been in retreat for three years and has not heard anything about it, so he naturally does not know about the outside world, although Yuan Qu is a registered disciple, he also knows such a big thing.
"Born in the Demon Sect?" Yang Nan suddenly thought in his heart: no wonder he faintly felt that Ai Muyun was extremely strange, this person was also powerful, and he actually had a way to hide the blood on his body, but it was just a registered disciple, if he wanted to blend into the inner door, it would be a fool's dream!
To become an inner disciple, you must go through the level of the divine mirror and the listening beast, and under the divine mirror, in addition to having an innate treasure to keep no traces, can Ai Muyun have such a magic weapon?
"I don't know what he stole the Nine Rank Lingzhi Grass for? Could it be that he wants to save someone?" Yang Nan's heart moved, this Nine Rank Lingzhi Grass is extremely rare, and the biggest effect is to bring the dead back to life, as long as a mortal has a breath, he can recover from the original after taking the Nine Rank Lingzhi Grass, but for cultivators, it is just a rare elixir.
Yuan Qu shook his head and said: "I don't know, that Ai Muyun is arrogant by nature, and I rarely get along with him, but when he was driven down the mountain, I saw him with a look of resentment, thinking that this Lingzhi grass is extremely important to him, and the person who arrested him is Li Guo, and he is now also an outer disciple." β
Yang Nan sighed softly, this Ai Muyun did not hesitate to take risks for the sake of his relatives and friends, and he actually dared to come to Kunlun Mountain to steal things, he can be regarded as a hot-blooded man, but mortals in this world are determined to die of old age, sickness and death, if everyone wants to come to Kunlun to get the elixir when they are in danger, it is not enough to plant the immortal medicine up and down Kunlun Mountain!
The head of Xuanxu just drove him down the mountain without hurting his life, and the Kunlun faction can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, Li Guo can't find himself in the past three years, so he will naturally stare at Yuan Qu and Ai Muyun, thinking that it is just a fire at the city gate, which affects the pond fish.
Ai Muyun and himself are only one face, and it also brings them a lot of trouble, Yang Nan immediately left him behind, and told Yuan Qu some interesting stories in the mountains, he has a steady stream of mana at this time, although he took the two of them, Yin Eclipse still escaped very quickly, and soon arrived outside the Immortal City.
Yuan Qu fell to the ground, patted his chest with his hand and smiled: "But it scares me to death, this feeling of flying away from the sky is really extraordinary!"
Yang Nan smiled and said, "Yuan, if you are willing, how about you go with me to find the Immortal City?"
Yuan Qu shook his head and said with a resolute face: "My way is in the west, I have heard for a long time that there is a Bodhi temple in the west, I want to seek the true law and prove my Bodhi, today's feelings, and I will talk about it in the future." β
Yang Nan took out some gold and silver jewelry from the Jiangshan Ring, and sighed lightly: "It's finally a meeting, you go on the road alone, it will be easier to carry these gold and silver." β
The friendship between the two has been deep, Yuan Qu is not polite, smiled, and took it, he clasped his palms and bowed and thanked him: "Although there is a lot of reluctance, but after all, it is inevitable to part, Yang Nan, the future is more cherished." β
After Yuan Qu finished speaking, he waved his tattered sleeves and went west, Yang Nan looked at the figure of him resolutely going west to seek the Fa and sighed, Yuan Qu's mind is not strong, and his character is not unclean, but he has always had no chance with the Daomen, and there seems to be a definite number in the dark, and he really can't force it.
