Chapter 703: Apprenticeship
"Yes, the Taoist is also from Qiantang County, I don't know where the Taoist lives, if he is free, Xiaosheng can also visit the Taoist to thank the Taoist for saving his life. Hearing Su Xingxuan say this, Gu Dong had a happy expression, and the restraint on his face was a little less, and he was a little more close.
Su Xingxuan knew that in ancient times, because of the inconvenience of transportation, ordinary people rarely went far away, and it was even rarer for people to meet fellow villagers when they went far away, no wonder this Gu Dong was so excited, but he was not really from Qiantang, he just appeared in Qiantang County as soon as he appeared, and he would definitely have to stay in Qiantang County for a long time after three hundred years, and it was okay to say that he was from Qiantang County, but he didn't want this scholar to be so excited, and he thought about visiting in the future.
Su Xingxuan couldn't help but say, "This is not necessary, although Poor Dao is half of Qiantang people, but Poor Dao travels all over the world, has no fixed residence, and has never had a place to live in Qiantang County, but there is no way to talk about it, by the way, you are reading a book, hey, why do you read Zhou Yi again?" Su Xingxuan said that he wanted to change the topic and lead the topic to the book in Gu Dong's hand, but he didn't want to look at it, and found that Gu Dong did not read "Analects", "Mencius" and the like as he thought, but read "Zhou Yi" again.
This surprised Su Xingxuan, although this "Zhou Yi" is also one of the Four Books and Five Classics, but anyone with a little common sense knows that the ancients took the imperial examination, and the Four Books and Five Classics were good, but there were very few people who could really test the things on the "Zhou Yi", and the "Book of Songs", although the official statement was good, but I really could afford the "Book of Songs" and "Zhou Yi" in my heart There are not many, these two books are like the sub-subjects of modern education, saying that it is quality education, all-round development, what is actually it, the benevolent will see the benevolent, the wise will see the wise.
Gu Dong said that he was going to participate in the imperial examination, so it should be other basic books that should be spent a lot of effort now, but he was reading "Zhou Yi", and Su Xingxuan was such a keen person, he could see at a glance that he was not pretending to look at Zhou Yi, but really liked it, and the breath of "Zhou Yi" was several times that of other books, so it can be seen that he touched this book the most on weekdays, which is an extremely rare situation for a scholar, and it is no wonder that Su Xingxuan will be surprised.
Hearing Su Xingxuan's words, Gu Dong also glanced down at the book in his hand, looked at Su Xingxuan's surprised appearance and couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head, and said with some distress, "Dao Chief, don't hide it, although I am a show talent, but I have no interest in the imperial examination, being an official or ruling the world, what I really want to do is to be the same as Dao Chang You, Xiu Xian asked, seeking the method of immortality." ”
Saying that, Gu Dong sighed, shook his head and said: "But the family wholeheartedly hopes that I can gain fame and glory, and most of the cultivators are charlatans, Xiaosheng has also found a lot of so-called masters, but they are all deceitful and famous, not only failed to embark on the road of cultivation, but made Xiaosheng disheartened, and the family also used this as an excuse to force Xiaosheng to study hard." ”
Xiaosheng was helpless, he couldn't bear the painstaking persuasion of his family, and he really doubted whether there were real cultivators in this world, so he had to obey the arrangements of his family and gain fame. Gu Dong said with some embarrassment.
Su Xingxuan's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he hurriedly pinched his fingers and found that the reason why this Gu Dong had some fate with him was because of his mind, but he and he had a somewhat shallow master-apprentice relationship, but this Gu Dong was born with a Taoist fate but no immortal root, although he could practice, but if there was no adventure, he was destined to succeed, so those real cultivators had never accepted him as an apprentice, so he could only meet some charlatans.
After speaking, I saw Gu Dong gritted his teeth, as if he had made a decision, as soon as he turned his body, he knelt down towards Su Xingxuan, although Gu Dong's movements were fast, but what kind of person was Su Xingxuan, his body had just moved, Su Xingxuan knew what he was thinking, Su Xingxuan was even more clear, so he hadn't knelt down yet, Su Xingxuan waved his sleeves, and a soft force helped him up.
"Mr. Gu, what are you doing here?" I saw Su Xingxuan pretending to look at Gu Dong and said, his face full of disapproval.
Gu Dong didn't expect to be helped up by Su Xingxuan before he knelt down, and he was a little stunned for a while, but after being stunned, he was even more envious of Su Xingxuan's methods, and after learning that Su Xingxuan could subdue demons and subdue demons, Gu Dong knew that the other party had real skills, and he also thought carefully about apprenticeship, and just said that he was going to visit Qiantang County, and he also had this thought, but he didn't expect Su Xingxuan to be a Taoist priest, so he was a little hesitant.
However, when I heard Su Xingxuan mention "Zhou Yi", I remembered that I had been asking for so many years but couldn't, and my mind that had just rested became angry again, and I hurriedly said, "Dao Da is capable, it is the sin of the people he has seen in his life, the Taoist inquired in detail, Xiaosheng didn't dare to hide it, Xiaosheng is really dedicated to the Tao, and it is just that he couldn't see the true face of the real person in the past, and now when he meets a land immortal like the Taoist, how can he endure his thoughts, and ask the Taoist to see Xiaosheng's single-mindedness to the Tao, accept Xiaosheng as an apprentice, and take Xiaosheng into the path of cultivation." ”
said that Gu Dong wanted to bow down again, but Su Xingxuan didn't mean to accept him as an apprentice like this, so naturally he couldn't let him bow down, and waved his sleeves to stop Gu Dong's movements.
"Dao Chief?" Gu Dong looked at Su Xingxuan suspiciously, not understanding why he was blocking himself.
I saw Su Xingxuan say, "Mr. Gu, you know that your mind is poor, you are dedicated to the Tao, and the poor Dao is also very admired, but you must know that practicing this path is not something you can say, or you can have the determination, for thousands of years, I don't know how many people want to seek the Immortal Dao, but it is not without reason." ”
"Poor Dao will say to you directly, although you have the fate of cultivation, but there is no immortal root Dao bones, once you step into the path of cultivation, unless there are other adventures, otherwise practice for many years, you can only end up looking at the moon in the water, the end of watching flowers in your dreams, it is difficult to achieve something, it is better to seek personal wealth in the world, and it is not considered to live up to this life, why bother with the fairy road?"
