Chapter 3 Go for a walk
As the former super sect Zhenhua Sect, it still has a large sect, but the number of people has become smaller, and the quality of the spiritual roots of the sect's disciples is not as good as before, but now the Zhenhua Sect still has 100,000 outer disciples and more than 3,000 inner disciples. There are more than 400 mountains around Zhenhua Mountain in the jurisdiction of Zhenhua Sect, Zhenhua Mountain is the highest and widest mountain in all mountains, almost all the inner door elders and inner disciples live here, because this aura is the most intense, there is a most ancient spiritual spring here, the spiritual energy continues to emerge from the spiritual spring, Zhenhua Mountain is the most suitable place for cultivation in Zhenhua Sect. The inner door and the outer gate of the Zhenhua Sect are relatively separated, each mountain peak of the outer gate has an outer gate elder who is responsible for the disciple in charge of the mountain, the outer gate elders of Zhenhua can almost be regarded as a small sect, and the outer gate elders have relatively large powers, they can choose their own disciples, and they also have their own self-contained small rules, but they cannot violate the great principles of the Zhenhua Sect. Every year, there will be a big competition, each outer door elder can recommend a disciple to participate in the big competition, the top 30 outer disciples in the big competition have the opportunity to enter the inner door, where there are disciples to enter the inner door to recommend the elders there are a lot of rewards, this is also to encourage the outer door elders to do their duty for Zhenhua to cultivate potential disciples, every outer door disciple is eager to enter the inner door, even if you don't want the inner door of the elixir, the aura here is enough for those outer disciples to live much better, so every year the competition is very fierce.
When Luo Shan told his father about the success of his qi training, he made another request, he wanted to go to the outer gate to practice for a while, Luo Yuan was a little surprised why his son would make such a request, the first idea was when he had breakfast one morning, Luo Shan saw the liveliness of Zihua that was closest to Zhenhua Mountain, he couldn't see it very clearly, but he could see that there were more than enough shadows, in fact, Luo Shan's request was also very reasonable, Luo Shan had hardly seen anyone except his father, mother and those elders since he was born, so Luo Shan wanted to see the outside world, like a caged bird that longs to fly in nature.
Luo Yuan didn't want to agree, but his son had never made any requests to him since he was a child, this was the first time, Luo Yuan, who was unwilling to agree in principle, chose to agree, with the additional condition that he was not allowed to be lazy, and he had the same habits as in the inner door, Luo Shan naturally agreed ten thousand.
A day later, there was an additional disciple named Hua Shan from Hua Feng, perhaps he should be called Luo Shan. He was already nearly fifteen years old before he practiced Qi at the first level, and it was a small casual cultivation that Elder Huafeng Baike had discovered when he was out traveling
Since Huafeng is the closest mountain to Zhenhua Peak, the aura here is also better than the aura on the periphery, many disciples from Huafeng admire the luck of this kid named Huashan, Huashan was arranged to practice in the North China Park B Zi Yuan, Zhenhua Sect is now the number of people withered and the accommodation is not very nervous, Hua Shan and a tall and thin boy are in a room, this tall boy is called Zhao Le is sixteen years old, and the ninth layer of Qi has entered the Zhenhua Sect for eight years, which is considered to be a very fast progress, Elder Bai Ke also values Zhao Le very much, Zhao Le is a bit of a silent person, he doesn't like to communicate very much, but he is very hardExcept for a small amount of time to eat and sleep, almost all of the time is spent on spiritual practice. It was the first time that Hua Shan had contact with people other than his father, mother, and close elders, and some of them didn't know how to communicate. However, Zhao Le didn't seem to have any intention of communicating with Huashan, just kept practicing on his own.
Zhao Le was also brought back from outside the mountain by Elder Bai Ke, Zhao Le's qualifications are good, he is the spiritual root of the fourth grade, he realized the spiritual energy in the early month of practicing qi, and it is already a very good result in the outer gate, coupled with Zhao Le's unremitting efforts, eight years have reached the ninth layer of qi training, and the next step is to build a foundation. But how easy is this to say, some people can quickly cultivate to the ninth layer of qi training, but if they can't seize that opportunity, they will be stuck in the ninth layer of qi cultivation for the rest of their lives, and it will be difficult to move until they die of old age. Generally speaking, if you don't have a layer of Qi training, you can increase your longevity by ten years, and if you practice Qi at the ninth layer, you will only have a lifespan of one hundred years at most, but once the foundation is successfully built, you will have at least three hundred years of life, and each layer of foundation building will increase your lifespan by nearly fifty years. Therefore, there is a saying that cultivating immortals and practicing qi is the entry, and building a foundation is the only way to enter the room. It's hard to get started, and it's even harder to get in!
Zhao Le's work and rest time is very similar to Huashan's, and he got up on time on the fifth watch and began to practice qi. They seemed to have a tacit understanding, just like that, the two of them got up at the same time to practice, and went to eat together before and after, without any communication between the two of them. After coming to the outer gate, Luo Shan did not practice the Wind Step and the Liuyun Sword, he didn't want others to feel his difference, so he spent all his energy on practicing qi, and of course, cultivating the Zhenhua Sword with others, the outer disciples had almost no freedom to choose their own exercises, and when they entered, there were only Zhenhua Sutra and Zhenhua Sword Technique in front of them, a long shirt and an ordinary sword were standard configurations, and Hua Shan was also divided into a long sword.
The daily hour is the morning class time, the so-called morning class is to recite the Zhenhua Sutra together, half an hour later is the morning exercise, practice the Zhenhua swordsmanship for an hour after the free time, this time arrangement virtually disrupted Huashan's work and rest, but he came here to experience the life of the outer door, so there was no resistance, and he naturally accepted it. In fact, Hua Shan has already memorized the Zhenhua Sutra, and Hua Shan is silently reminiscing about reciting the True Sutra in the morning class every day, but the Zhenhua Sword Technique Hua Shan is very attentive to learn.
It's been ten days since I came to the outer gate in a blink of an eye, during which Hua Shan and Zhao Le only said a few words. Zhao Le is still practicing silently and diligently, and Huashan is also working hard to move forward for their respective goals.
Zhao Le was a little distressed, because his cultivation had really encountered a bottleneck, and in the recent past, he had been accumulating aura, and he had also asked Elder Bai Ke about building a foundation, but Elder Bai Ke said that he had nothing to do and relax, don't work so hard, building a foundation is not only the accumulation of aura, but also requires a trace of understanding. But getting up early every day to practice, in addition to eating and sleeping, the habit of practicing qi in the morning has been deeply rooted, but now it has to be changed, to relax, Zhao Le really doesn't know what to do.
On the eleventh day, I still want to get up and practice as usual, then go to the morning class and morning exercise, and come back to continue practicing, Zhao Le looked at the man named Hua Shan who had been trying to say something to him but never opened his mouth, Zhao Le did not have the courage to interrupt others' practice, Zhao Le himself did not like to be interrupted when he was practicing qi, and Zhao Le had been distressed by himself, and in a blink of an eye it was time to have lunch, Zhao Le and Hua Shan went to the canteen together, Elder Bai Ke specially changed the meal for Zhao Le, and Elder Bai Ke instructed the kitchen to provide Zhao Le with polished rice, which is the staple food cultivated in the spiritual garden, and the maturity period is two yearsAlthough it can't be compared with those elixirs, because it also contains spiritual energy and has a short growth cycle, it is easy to cultivate, and it is the favorite food of the upper echelons of many major sects. Very few outer disciples can eat it, unless they have a special contribution. Obviously, Zhao Le has no special contributions, but Elder Bai Ke values him very much, and decides to promote Zhao Le in the next big competition, so he gives Zhao Le a little special care, hoping that he can perform well in the big competition.
Zhao Le, who got the polished rice, was a little excited, he looked at Hua Shan and then divided half of the polished rice in his bowl to Hua Shan, this move made many disciples around Zhao Le collectively swallow their saliva, Hua Shan was also very surprised by Zhao Le's move, I don't know why he did this, the friendship between the two of them does not seem to be very deep.
Dinner time passed quickly, and on the way to the small courtyard, Zhao Le couldn't help but speak.
"Do you know how to relax yourself?" Zhao Le asked.
"Relax, what relax?" Hua Shan was puzzled.
"That is, let yourself stop cultivating all the time. Elder Bai Ke said that I have encountered a bottleneck and need to relax, but I don't know how to relax, and you are the person who talks to me the most here, so I can only ask you. ”
Hua Shan didn't expect Zhao Le to be the person he knew most well here.
"Relax...... Relaxation should be to go and walk around, to see the sea of clouds, bamboo forests or something" Hua Shan doesn't know what relaxation is, he has never relaxed for so many years, what he said is still in some Taoist classics, when he reads this, he imagines those scenery and feels very beautiful in his heart, it should be relaxation, Hua Shan comforted himself.
"Oh, walk around, um, okay" Zhao Le left after listening to Hua Shan's words and thinking about it, looking at the back of Zhao Le leaving, Luo Shan was a little speechless, this is the end?
