Farewell to Qin Ziling, Zhou Shaobai was sad, the giant eagle seemed to notice his mood, did not take him to toss and frolic in the sea of clouds, and sent him to Yuping Peak. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, it was still late at night, Zhou Shaobai thanked the giant eagle, returned to the wing, and saw that the senior brothers were still sleeping on the Chase bunk, and the snoring was even more disturbing, and it was impossible for people to sleep peacefully.

He was very confused, so he simply left the wing room, wandering outside alone, thinking about the poem written by Qin Ziling on the handkerchief, while pacing slowly, before he knew it, the east was shining brightly, and the mountains were dyed red, so he woke up and hurriedly went to the bamboo forest to wait for Master Hou.

After a while, a Taoist leader with a wide robe and big sleeves walked from the bluestone slab in the bamboo forest, which was Chengyu.

Seeing the arrival of the master, Zhou Shaobai went over to ask for peace.

Chengyu nodded, and Zhou Shaobai came to the stone platform, he stroked his beard: "Shaobai, the tenth day of the first month of next month is this year's Xiyun Nine Veins Discussion." ”

Zhou Shaobai was stunned and nodded: "Yes, Master, I didn't expect time to pass so quickly." ”

Chengyu glanced at him and said slowly: "This year, you can go with the teacher." ”

Zhou Shaobai's face froze: "Huh?"

It turned out that about 500 years ago, there were eight outstanding disciples in Xiyun Gate who deeply felt that the path of cultivation was extremely difficult, and the main peak Lingyun Peak was too full of incense and many disciples, which was not conducive to meditation and cultivation, so they chose eight peaks among the 36 peaks, built Taoist pavilions respectively, and then explored the path of cultivation according to their own understanding. These eight outstanding disciples are the ancestors of the eight veins, plus the original Lingyun Peak one vein, since then Xiyun Mountain has formed a situation of nine vein initiates.

The nine veins continue to this day, and in the long five hundred years, they have slowly formed some special cultivation methods, but everything has changed from their sects, and the rest of the eight veins still respect Ling Yunfeng as the authentic sect of Xiyun, respect the head, and always obey the orders of the head, moreover, the head of Xiyun Gate is not limited to the disciple inheritance of the first line of Lingyun Peak, all the disciples of the nine veins, who have both talent and morality, have profound cultivation, and can convince the public, all have the qualifications to inherit the position of the head. For example, the current head of the Lingxu Dao is not from the Lingyun Peak, but from the Qinglian Peak.

Later, in order to exchange cultivation experience, the head of the nine veins decided to choose one of the nine peaks on the tenth day of the seventh month of every four years, and the nine veins gathered in one hall on that day to discuss the cultivation experience, so that Xiyunmen would continue to carry forward.

Nowadays, the highlight of the Nine Veins is no longer the Dao, but the selection of an outstanding disciple from each of the Nine Veins, and the competition on the same day to show that the Sect has produced many talents and practiced hard.

All Xiyun disciples are proud to participate in the Nine Veins Discussion with the Master, and the Master of the Zhuyun Veins is proud of the fact that the disciples finally take the lead.

These deeds are known to everyone in Xiyun Mountain, and the last time the Nine Veins were discussed, Zhou Shaobai also begged his senior brother to take him to watch the battle and open his eyes, so he was naturally very familiar with it. But right now, the master actually asked him, a lay disciple who had only cultivated the basic Dao Sect for eight years, to compete with the leaders of other lineages......

He hurriedly waved his hand: "Master, this must not be done! The disciple is stubborn and his cultivation is shallow, how can he represent the first vein of Yuping Peak to participate in the Nine Veins Discourse? Isn't this a shame for the master? Ask the master to choose someone else!"

Chengyu shook his head: "Others, your senior brother is still meditating, and the teacher will never take him there." ”

Zhou Shaobai scratched his head: "Although the senior brother can't go, there are other senior brothers, they are just one of them, and they are ten times stronger than the disciples." Besides, the disciple also has self-knowledge, and with the disciple's current cultivation, he really doesn't dare to take on such a heavy responsibility. ”

Chengyu heard this, no longer spoke, he took out the dust, waved his hand, and a strong wind suddenly appeared in the bamboo forest, blowing the bamboo leaves scattered and flying, and the bamboo forest swayed endlessly, and it was quiet for a long time.

Zhou Shaobai didn't know what Chengyu's move meant, so he hurriedly saluted and said carefully: "But the disciple is not good, which makes the master angry?"

"No, no, no, Fang just waved the dust for the teacher, Shaobai, what did you see. Chengyu asked.

Zhou Shaobai thought about it, and when the wind just rose, there seemed to be nothing unusual, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he had to say: "Back to Master, the disciple only saw the bamboo leaves flying and the green bamboo swaying. Other than that, nothing has been found. ”

"Then tell me, how do bamboo leaves fly, and how do green bamboos sway?" Chengyu asked unhurriedly, his eyes half-closed and half-open.

Zhou Shaobai didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he simply said: "Back to the master, the disciple only saw that some bamboo leaves flew very high, some flew low, some bamboo swayed strongly, and some swayed not so much. ”

Chengyu nodded: "That's true." Shaobai, you must know that people's talents are not the same. Just like the bamboo leaves, the same gust of wind, some fly high, some fly low. People with high talent can get twice the result with half the effort and achieve success with half the effort, just like bamboo leaves that easily fly high; and people with average or even dull talents are like bamboo leaves that do not fly high, even if they borrow the strength of the wind, they are still under other bamboo leaves. Shaobai, you are the tall bamboo leaf that flies. ”

Zhou Shaobai immediately understood that Chengyu was borrowing the weight of the bamboo leaves to say that his talent was different from that of other senior brothers.

"Let's talk about this green bamboo, Shaobai, tell me, why is the swing range of the green bamboo different?"

Zhou Shaobai thought for a while, and suddenly understood in his heart: "Back to Master, the reason why the shaking amplitude of the green bamboos with the same height and thickness is different is because the root systems are different. The deeper the roots of the green bamboo, the wider the growth, the smaller the natural shaking. The master wanted to use Qingzhu to tell his disciples that he must lay a good foundation in order to be able to stand still. ”

Chengyu nodded: "That's true." Shaobai, you have been practicing the basic method of introductory for eight years. In fact, the teacher has been observing you, not only have you not complained, but you have worked very hard to cultivate this basic exercise, and among the disciples of the teacher, no one can have your cultivation, just practicing the basic exercises, which is extremely difficult to do. However, you only have skills but don't know how to use them, and you can't even exert the power of Yicheng, so you mistakenly think that you are inferior to your senior brothers. ”

Zhou Shaobai was skeptical: "Master said that the disciple's skill is stronger than all the senior brothers? ”

"As the teacher just said, if you have no skills and don't know how to use them, you are naturally not their opponent. However, the tricks can be achieved quickly, but the skill cultivation can not be achieved quickly, there is still a month before the Nine Veins of the Dao, this month, with your talent, continue to accumulate your cultivation, and then supplemented by the teacher's guidance, within a month, you will be the most outstanding one of the disciples under the master's seat. ”

Cheng Yu smiled, as if he had seen Zhou Shaobai defeat the crowd in the Nine Veins Theory a month later and take the lead.

Hearing Chengyu's words, Zhou Shaobai couldn't help but feel his blood boiling faintly: Master will definitely not lie to me, it turns out that I, Zhou Shaobai, also have the opportunity to participate in the Nine Veins Theory!

At this time, Chengyu's face suddenly sank: "However, if you think like yesterday's cultivation, and go crazy a few times, not only will you not be able to advance by leaps and bounds after a month, but I am afraid that by then you will have fallen into the demons, and the teacher will not be able to save you." ”

Zhou Shaobai was taken aback: This can't be done, I finally have a chance to turn over, how can I destroy everything because I went crazy?

He hurriedly bowed down: "Master, the disciple is dull, please ask the master for advice, how can we truly be free of distractions in the cultivation and seek the Tao wholeheartedly?"

Chengyu snorted and said in a deep voice: "The answer is still in these green bamboos, comprehend it yourself! If you comprehend it, tell me again!"

After speaking, Chengyu sat cross-legged on the stone platform, took care of himself and began to breathe in breathing, closed his eyes tightly, and stopped speaking.

Seeing that the master was like this, Zhou Shaobai had to look at the verdant bamboo forest and ponder the mystery of it.
