Chapter 29: Opportunity
There is a very clear division of the disciples in the Nine Xuantian Qingguan, and the best basis for distinguishing these ranks is from the Taoist robe on the body.
Ordinary lowest-level disciples are generally light gray robes, while disciples with slightly lower qualifications are dark gray robes, while disciples like the older generation of senior uncles and disciples who hold positions of power in the view are wearing blue robes, specifically those who are at the bottom of the cultivation are wearing light blue robes, such as Pei Chongyuan, some who are slightly higher in cultivation or have a slightly higher status and power just wear blue robes, and some top existences such as some elders in the door are wearing dark blue robes.
The old man was wearing a dark blue robe, needless to say, at least he was an elder-level existence, and at that moment Pei Chongyuan did not dare to slack off, and cautiously came to the front of the old man, and said respectfully: "I have seen the elder." ”
"Hmm," the old man in the dark blue robe slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Pei Chongyuan, and found that the person who came was actually an old man who was already older than him for a year, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.
Just now, the guards of the Daozang Hall came to report that there were disciples outside the hall who had come to seek the Fa, but what kind of disciples were they and who they were? I didn't say clearly, the old man thought that he was a young disciple who had just opened his spirit, but he didn't expect it to be a disciple who was even older than him in front of him.
The kind of disciple in front of him looked like he was at least sixty or seventy years old, and he had already passed the peak age of cultivation, and he was at such an age, no matter how diligent he was, he wouldn't make much progress, but why did this person still come to seek the secret method? This made the old man a little puzzled.
"The guards outside my hall said that you are here to seek a secret method, I think you have already cultivated to the peak of the first layer of innate spiritual consciousness, you should have a set of Dao methods!" After glancing at Pei Chongyuan, the old man closed his eyes again, and then said without the slightest emotion.
Pei Chongyuan hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and then continued: "The disciple came here for other people, a young disciple who was taught by the disciple two days ago has just succeeded in enlightenment, and now he lacks a Dao secret, but he is very qualified in cultivation, and the Dao method cultivated by the disciple is really not profound, and it is not suitable to teach it to him this time, so the disciple wants to ask the elder for a more advanced Dao method." ”
Pei Chongyuan knew that the elders in the Daoist Temple were opposed to teaching Xiao Ze's Taoism, so he didn't dare to teach it privately, so he would come to the Daozang Hall to find the Protector Elder of this hall, if the Elder of the Guardian Hall gave him the Dao Method, then he would have nothing to worry about.
Is the Dao Law from the hands of the elders of the Dao Zang Palace, even if the Nine Heavens Xuanqing Guan is held accountable, he will be able to shirk his responsibility, and he will no longer worry about being punished by the Guannei, which is also the reason why Pei Chongyuan himself has obviously cultivated the Dao Law, but he still has to ask the elders of the Dao Treasure Hall for it, which can be regarded as a temptation of distortion.
Pei Chongyuan was afraid that the elder of the palace would refuse, so he didn't immediately explain that this method was for Xiao Ze's request, and in his words, Pei Chongyuan first inadvertently praised Xiao Ze, but the old man didn't listen.
The hall elder thought that the young disciple in Pei Chongyuan's mouth was his apprentice, because he didn't care too much about his words, in his opinion, if he was really a disciple with excellent qualifications in cultivation, he would have been accepted by Guan Nei to be a key disciple to cultivate, how could he let a person who had not even reached the second level of innate spiritual consciousness to teach.
In his eyes, Pei Chongyuan just wanted to fight for a little bit of resources for his disciples, and the so-called good qualifications were just for him, but the old man didn't say anything, but opened his eyes again, looked at Pei Chongyuan and asked Pei Chongyuan lightly: "Which Dao method did you learn?"
"What the disciple has learned is the "Three Turns of the Green Spirit", Pei Chongyuan responded.
The old man fell into thought when he heard this, and then with a wave of his robe, the three Dao methods appeared in front of Pei Chongyuan.
For the elder of the Daozang Palace, he is extremely clear about each Dao method of the Dao Treasure Palace, no matter how high and deep it is, how powerful each Dao method is, where the original is stored, and how many copies there are in the Dao Treasure Palace, these are all clearly recorded in his mind, although the "Three Turns of the Green Spirit Jue" is not a very successful Dao method, but for the characteristics and growth of this method, after some thought, he also has some general understanding.
"These three Dao methods are better than your "Three Turns Green Spirit Formula", and the growth is much more than the "Three Turns Green Spirit Formula", you can take a look at choosing one for your apprentice. With that, the old man closed his eyes again and fell into meditation.
Looking at the three Dao methods placed in front of him, Pei Chongyuan was pleasantly surprised, usually speaking, before the Nine Xuantian Qingguan gave the Fa, he would arrange for the disciples to hone the general, and only after passing the training and getting the recognition of the Guan, the Nine Xuantian Qingguan would give the Dao Method.
However, today, the hall protector elder did not arrange any training tasks, so he casually threw out three Taoist books for Pei Chongyuan to choose one, it seems that this temple protector elder should be in a very good mood today, which will save a lot of trouble.
Excitedly, he picked up the three Dao methods and took a cursory look at them, but Pei Chongyuan's brows furrowed, although these three Dao methods are good, they are a little better than the "Three Turns of the Green Spirit Technique" he cultivated, but they can only be regarded as an ordinary Dao method.
However, Pei Chongyuan also knew that with Xiao Ze's situation, it was already a blessing to be able to get an ordinary Dao Method, and he couldn't be too greedy, but now that the Elder of the Guardian Hall gave him the Dao Law so directly, he was a little afraid to accept it.
At the beginning, Pei Chongyuan did not explain that the Dao Law was for Xiao Ze's request, and originally planned to wait for the Elder of the Protector Hall to inquire before explaining it to him, but the Elder of the Protector Hall directly gave him the Dao Law, if he took it away directly and did not explain the matter clearly, there would also be trouble in the future.
"Elder, this ......" After a moment of hesitation, Pei Chongyuan still said: "Elder, the identity of this disciple taught by the disciple is somewhat special. ”
"Special, what's special?" the old man opened his eyes again, and after a moment of surprise, he returned to normal, and only let a cultivator who was not very high in cultivation teach, how special could it be?
"The elder has been guarding the Dao Tibetan Hall for a long time, and he may not know much about what has happened outside recently, yes, this person is sent by the Arctic Shangqing Sect who has a good relationship with my Jiuxuantian Qingguan, he is the only son of Xiao Tianying and Chu Yingyun, the elders of the Arctic Shangqing Sect, this disciple has a Taoist spiritual root, and the Arctic Shangqing Sect Sect Master Xinzi opened his mouth to ask my Guan Guan Master to send him to cultivate, and the Guan Master finally agreed, and then arranged for the disciple to teach it temporarily. ”
Pei Chongyuan briefly told the old man about Xiao Ze's situation, but when the old man heard this, his face was cold, and he rolled up his robe, and he actually put away the three Dao methods that were originally selected by Pei Chongyuan, and then said coldly: "It turns out that he is not a disciple of my Jiuxuantian Qingguan, since he is not a disciple of my Guan Guan, this Dao method cannot be easily passed on." ”
"This ......" Pei Chongyuan was stunned, he never expected that the elder of the palace would react like this after hearing Xiao Ze's identity, and the elder in the temple still refused to teach Xiao Ze the Dao method, so how should he explain to Xiao Ze after he went back?
In fact, it is normal for the elders of the Guardian Hall to have such a reaction, and they can be assigned to guard the Dao Zang Temple, which must be the most conservative group of people in the Nine Xuantian Qingguan, and only by letting these people guard the Dao Zang Temple, can the Nine Xuantian Qingguan really rest assured.
"Teaching this sub-Dao method, but what the master personally ordered me to do is not the disciple's personal intention!" Pei Chongyuan hurriedly said.
"Okay, no need to say any more, there is no Dao Fa, you can go back!" The old man's face turned cold, and his gaze at Pei Chongyuan also changed a little.
Pei Chongyuan sighed lightly, in fact, he had expected that this would be the result, but Xiao Ze wanted to learn the Fa, but he didn't get the exact approval of Guannei, so it was not easy to teach, so he could only come here to explore the wind.
If the elder of the temple protection gave the Dao method, it means that the temple allows it, and he can teach it with peace of mind, but at the moment, the temple obviously still has a protective opinion, Pei Deyuan sighed, and turned around and walked towards the outside of the hall in frustration.
"Wait!" However, just as Pei Shengyuan was about to step into the path of the Taoist Formation and leave, a voice suddenly came from the back of the Dao Treasure Hall.
The elder of the palace who was sitting at the bottom of the main hall heard the voice coming from outside the hall, his expression was solemn, and he quickly stood up from the futon, and then bowed respectfully to the back of the Daozang Palace, and said, "Brother, meet uncle." ”
Pei Chongyuan, who was about to leave, heard the voice coming from behind him, and couldn't help but stop, and then looked at the reaction of the Protector Hall Elder, Pei Chongyuan was suddenly shocked in his heart, the senior uncle of the Protector Hall Elder? What kind of existence is that, is it the Hidden World Elder in the Guannei? While shocked, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the defense of the Hidden Hall was terrifying.
Although the so-called uncle in the mouth of the hall protector did not appear, and Pei Chongyuan did not see him, he did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly took a few steps forward to learn from the hall elder and saluted in one direction of the Daozang Palace.
"Since Qingwei has promised the Sect Master of the Arctic Shangqing Sect, then my Nine Xuantian Qingguan can't be tongue-in-cheek, and we should also fulfill Qingwei's promise. I remember that there is a rule in this meditation that when the Dharma is given, the disciples who give the Dharma will be tested, and Master Qingxuan's nephew, you should give this son a chance. The voice of the elder of the temple came slowly from nowhere.
"Yes!" the Elder of the Temple Protector was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then returned to his normal response.
"Thank you, Master, thank you, Ancestor!" Pei Chongyuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed to the front, and said again and again.
From the words of the hall elder, he could also judge the identity of the uncle called by the hall elder, so respected, he could only call him uncle.
