Chapter 10 All kinds of bitterness are good teachers
Previously, Shui Yuan said that the Ghost Flame was really weird, but Zhang Fan didn't believe it, and when he arrived at his cave mansion, he realized that Shui Yuan far underestimated the strange nature of the Ghost Flame Old Dao.
Zhang Fan opened the cave mansion array with a token and entered the cave mansion, thinking that although the cave was not full of gold and jade, there should be some immortal vision, but who knew that the place that came into view was a dusty and shabby hall.
A bed, a table, a futon, and nothing else.
After the corners of Zhang Fan's mouth twitched slightly, he had to clean up his future residence.
It's not that Zhang Fan likes the new and hates the old, it's really that the aura here is nearly ten times richer than that Blue Hill, and there is a way that good birds choose trees to perch on, although Zhang Fan said that he will not abandon the Blue Hill real estate, but in the future, he will go there at most to plant the Spirit Valley and buy some family property, so this Flame Island is the place where he will practice daily in the future.
In fact, Ghost Flame is not a ungrateful person, so stingy that he is unwilling to buy some furniture for his former disciples, but this temple has been uninhabited for a long time. The wooden and stone furniture had all turned into dust and sand, but the table, the bed, and the futon were ritual vessels, and in this place of abundant spiritual energy, they were immortal for thousands of years.
Zhang Fan doesn't care about these, he is now a monk, his whole body turns around when he takes a bath, and his body is spotless, if he wants to relive the old things, a burst of spiritual rain is sprinkled, why can't he make his skin white and flawless?
After cleaning up the debris, he ate some spiritual rice and barbecue meat that he had prepared last night, and then sat on the futon and began to cultivate.
It is said that this futon is worthy of being a magic weapon, although it has gone through the vicissitudes of time, but the small spirit gathering formation engraved in it is still operating. Just waiting for Zhang Fan to sit down, a refreshing and refreshing feeling of coolness infiltrated the whole body.
He had only tried to cultivate before, in order to find a suitable place to cultivate. After running around for a long time, now everything is going well, and I want to cultivate deeply.
Zhang Fan closed his eyes and meditated, guarding the dantian, and guided the cool water aura around his body into his body with his thoughts, without a sense of stagnation, and the original nonsense of the Netherworld Elder had long been left behind by him. Just like last night, silently absorb and breathe out the qi of the water spirit, and expand the dantian and meridians of the pregnancy and cultivation acupoints.
Time passes. After Zhang Fan woke up countless times to appease the Five Organs Temple, the dense blue air mass in his dantian grew bigger and bigger at some point.
Before you know it, the air mass fills the void, connecting the heavens and the earth. After a soft "boom". The aura around Zhang Fan's body turned into a trace of spiritual light, which diffused towards him like a returning bird, enveloping him.
After a sense of comfort, the cool air poured into Zhang Fan's limbs and bones, gathering in the dantian void, and the dark blue air mass gradually turned into a small light blue cloud, like a happy child, spinning endlessly in the void, forgetting to be tired.
Look at the void again. Somehow, the purple dome was even higher. The gray sea of qi sank down again. The void doubled in size, and several deep whirlpools inexplicably appeared in the void, like a black hole, and like an endless passage, I don't know where it connects.
There is an indescribable relationship between the passage and the void, there is a cool air flowing from the void vortex channel all the time, and there are also clouds of aura that turn into wisps of smoke into the passage, aura comes and goes, the aura cloud does not decrease, but with the passage of time, slowly grows, although the change is gradually weakening, but no one will say that the aura cloud will let the smoke slip away in vain.
I don't know when, Zhang Fan woke up slowly. He let out a long breath of air, a smile as innocent and natural as a baby on his face.
"Who said that my Zhang Fan has poor qualifications? Haha, who dares to say that he can break through the first layer of qi cultivation and reach the early stage of the second layer of qi cultivation in just one month like me. Zhang Fan laughed.
He didn't care about the faint layer of dust on the white robe, nor did he care about the peculiar smell emanating from his body, his mind moved, the blue light on his body was erect, his long hair was flying, and the white robe was happy. His handsome face showed the demeanor of a young man, and he did not hide the air of a mature man between his thick eyebrows.
After cleaning up the temple and eating some food, Zhang Fan took out the communication jade talisman that the old flame had sent to him, and his mind moved a message away.
He smiled lightly: "The old Taoist cultivation is good, I guess I have been pondering the mystery of the blue wave sword these days, and I am full of doubts." I will take this opportunity to probe his tone, and trick him into taking me as an apprentice, or ask him to teach me a practical spell or two, which is a good thing after all. After he finished speaking, he walked out of the temple, took out the cave token, injected a true qi into it, pressed it into the void in front of him, and a whirlpool opened, and without hesitation, it turned into a white shadow and floated out.
It didn't take long for Zhang Fan to come to the door of the old Dao Cave Mansion, and before he could get close, the old Dao gray robe was raised, and he flew to Zhang Fan, stroked Zhang Fan's thin shoulder, and laughed: "Xiaoyou is really a blessed person, a talent with different talents, not only to get a supernatural treasure, but also to cultivate to the second level of qi cultivation in a short month, which is really the creation of the Great Dao." ”
Zhang Fan's sword eyebrows were furrowed at this time, and he was a little painful, but he didn't ask Lao Dao to take his hand away, and said with a smile: "Elder, the disciple is a genius with the best spiritual root, but it's a pity that the treasure bead was dusty before, and no one found it, now that the elder has a discerning eye, why not accept the disciple as an apprentice, and when the disciple is well-known in Shenzhou, the elder will also be proud of me as a genius disciple, isn't it?"
When Lao Dao heard this, he hurriedly retreated, shook his head and smiled: "You kid, I will praise you a few words, Lao Dao, you are embarrassed to say that you are a genius?
Zhang Fan said with a smile: "Elder, don't joke around, the disciple has had a smooth journey, he only cultivated to the second level of qi cultivation in January, and he has long been a genius in the sky, you actually boasted that you reached the second level of qi cultivation in nine days, don't you blush?"
Lao Dao sneered: "Little baby, don't be stinky and beautiful." When Lao Dao topped the younger generation of Beiming back then, he had already broken through the three-layer barrier of qi training in January. You just ate a few pills of the Pulp Cleansing Pill, and you have only cultivated to the second level of Qi cultivation in just one month, and you dare to compare with the old Dao me back then, it is ridiculous. ”
Zhang Fan said with a smile: "The elder really misunderstood, the disciple doesn't even have a spirit stone, where can he come to enjoy the marrow cleansing pill?" You have very poor qualifications, but you got the ancient treasure first. Then he was used by others to wash the marrow with the second-grade elixir, and then he got a powerful qigong method, and now he is relying on the old way to enjoy the rich aura. Isn't it because of great fortune that you're doing this?"
Zhang Fan heard this. Fang Cai found that he was so lucky all the way, and he also slightly understood the reason for the matter, but he wanted to be a teacher in vain, and he couldn't follow Lao Dao's words, so he had to pretend to be pitiful, so he smiled and said: "The elder said that he was laughing, and now the disciple is displaced." There is no teacher at the top, and there is no fellow at the bottom, so what is the blessing?"
Lao Dao smiled awkwardly. Somehow, there seemed to be some confusion in my heart, and my tone became a little low, and I sighed, "Hey. You little baby. I was not satisfied. If Lao Dao had the same elixir as you back then, and had immeasurable blessings, why would it be like this. ”
When Zhang Fan heard this, he smiled and said, "Elder, since the disciple is so extraordinary, the disciple will follow you and learn some Taoism, so that everyone will share the blessings in the future, right?"
Lao Dao hurriedly shook his head and smiled: "You cunning boy." Lao Dao has long seen through your little bit of care. Lao Dao won't accept apprentices anymore, let alone a treacherous boy like you. ”
Zhang Fan smiled: "Elder." But you don't see the strengths of your disciples. The disciple is clever and smart, as long as you accept the disciple as an apprentice, the disciple will definitely serve the elder with all his heart, and ensure that you are comfortable every day and everything goes smoothly. ”
Lao Dao waved his hand and said: "Lao Dao will not accept any more apprentices in this life, you will die of that heart." Zhang Fanqi said: "Could it be that the elders dislike the poor qualifications of their disciples? There is a way that diligence can make up for clumsiness, as long as the disciples are diligent in cultivating the Dao Fa, they will not be worse than those geniuses, not to mention that the disciples have great blessings?"
Lao Dao said lightly: "Lao Dao is not disgusted with your poor qualifications, throughout the ages, I don't know how many inferior spiritual root monks have become a hero, how can Lao Dao be so vulgar as others, but Lao Dao is too old, you must concentrate on breaking through cultivation, otherwise it will turn into a handful of loess after decades, originally Lao Dao is not afraid of life and death, but Lao Dao's wish in his heart has not been realized, and he does not want to end up with his ideals buried under the vast loess with his bones." ”
The old Taoist said it so bluntly, Zhang Fan couldn't be cheeky and occupy other people's time, but he felt a little emotional in his heart, who would have thought that this old Tao, who was rumored to have a strange temper in the outside world, would have such a heart. He sighed and said, "Elder, do you want to refine spiritual weapons?"
Lao Dao said with a smile: "You little baby, don't you make fun of Lao Dao? That spiritual weapon has disappeared in Shenzhou for ten thousand years, and no matter how arrogant Lao Dao is, he doesn't dare to say that he can refine spiritual weapons." Lao Dao just wants to find out the method of refining ancient treasures, although he can't refine ancient treasures, but he can also imitate treasures that are more powerful than the treasures that are circulating in Shenzhou today, right?"
Zhang Fan laughed when he heard this, and said, "Elder, the magic sword in your hand is an ancient thing, why do you need to sigh so long? As long as you explore a little, you will definitely be able to refine the imitation ancient treasure." Disciples can also learn a thing or two with you, what do you think?"
Lao Dao said with a smile: "Since Lao Dao said that he would not accept apprentices, he did not accept them before, he did not accept them now, and he will not accept them in the future." Zhang Fan sighed in disappointment.
Seeing this, Lao Dao smiled and said: "You are willing to send the ancient treasure to Lao Dao for study, Lao Dao has already allowed you to cultivate on the island and go to the sea to salvage spirit stones, don't you think it's enough?"
Zhang Fan said abruptly: "Elder, the disciples have no one to teach, and although there is a method of practicing qi so far, there is no magic that can be mastered. The cultivation world is different from the mortal world, the slightest mistake will be dead, and the disciple can't, I want to find a master to teach some survival skills, but unfortunately although the disciple is an outer disciple, no one is willing to ask for it. ”
Lao Dao sighed and said: "In the Beiming Sect, there is more than one person like you, my Beiming Sect has long been one of the largest immortal cultivation sects in Shenzhou, with countless disciples, but so far there are only dozens of cultivators in the foundation building period, but the foundation building period is not known how far away from the legendary immortal realm, almost no one has the possibility of immortality, the only difference is the long lifespan." After all, monks are also human beings, who would be like the old Taoist who only knows how to refine weapons, and who is still alone, even the disciples are running and dying, and none of them remain. The old way will not accept you as a disciple, and even if you use all kinds of means, the old way will not have the slightest mercy for you. ”
Zhang Fan was saddened when he heard this.
Lao Dao saw Zhang Fan's expression in his heart, and after a long time, he sighed and said: "Lao Dao also knows that it is not easy for you, but if you get too close to Lao Dao, you will regret it one day." ”
When Zhang Fan heard this, he stepped forward quickly, and said with great joy: "Elder rest assured, disciples are not afraid, as long as they ......" Seeing this, Lao Dao raised his hand to stop him from continuing to speak, and said leisurely: "That's it, that's it, Lao Dao knows your thoughts, since you didn't dare to leave that day, it means that you and I are destined after all, although Lao Dao will not accept any more apprentices, but he will not let his Dao system lose its inheritance." If you can do one thing well, the old way will teach you some survival skills, but that's all. ”
Zhang Fan was overjoyed and thanked: "Thank you, elder, don't say one thing, it's ten things, and the disciple is also willing." Lao Dao shook his head and said: "It's too early for you to say this, Lao Dao thinks that after entering the main hall, you will not swear like you do now." ”
Zhang Fan laughed and said, "Since the elder said so, the disciple wants to see what is difficult. No matter how difficult it is, the disciple will definitely accomplish it. Lao Dao smiled and said, "Okay, since that's the case, you can come with me." Saying that, Lao Dao's heart moved, the front hall opened, and Zhang Fan also walked in with Lao Dao with excitement.
