Chapter 11: Receiving Disciples
The three of them stood at the gate of the courtyard for a moment, and the old servant inside came out and said, "The old lady let a few people in." ”
Qingwei took the lead and rushed in, shouting 'grandpa grandpa' in her mouth.
There was a hearty laugh inside, and Wu Xu was surprised in his heart, from the laughter, it sounded that there was another person besides the old lady.
"Daddy, are you there too?" Qingwei's voice came.
Wu Xu and Zhou Feng glanced at each other, but their feet did not stop, and they walked into the room under the leadership of the old servant.
"Old lady. The two said respectfully, Wu Xuan peeked over, and saw a beautiful bearded man standing beside the old lady, majestic and imposing, presumably it was Li Gongtan, the head of the Li Mansion.
"When you come back, why did you faint suddenly?" The old lady looked at Wu Xu's body and said strangely: "Your body is much stronger than yesterday!"
Hearing this, the corners of Zhou Xianfeng's mouth moved, and he didn't speak, and the old lady saw it inadvertently, so he didn't ask any more, but he thought that he would leave Zhou Xianfeng to ask later.
Wu Xu was a little frightened at this time, the old lady was the second person he couldn't hear his heart, but Li Zongchang on the side of the old lady was okay, could it be because the old lady's cultivation was too high, so that there were no distracting thoughts in his heart?
But how can there be people in this world who are completely free of distractions, except for Qingwei, of course. However, Qingwei is pure in heart and is born without red dust, which has nothing to do with cultivation. And if you rely on cultivation, I'm afraid that you can only do this by attaining the realm of Immortal Buddhas, right? Even Immortal Buddhas may not be able to do it.
Then there is only one reason, this ability of oneself is limited, and if the cultivation is too high, such as the old lady can't be heard, or the cultivation is higher than his own three great realms. Wu Xu once heard Zhou Xianfeng say that the old lady is really cultivating in the Qi realm, as for which level it is, it is not very clear, but it is definitely not as good as Master Hongxuan, and he is barely in the early stage of refining himself before building the foundation realm, and there are three major realms in the middle, that is, building the foundation, refining the essence, and turning the Qi.
Thinking of this, Wu Xuan didn't think much about it, and hurriedly replied: "The kid has a weak physique since he was a child, and he fainted for a while at noon yesterday, and then stayed in Huayan Temple for too long, thinking that it was because he didn't have a good rest. But please rest assured, the old lady, now the kid is in good health. ”
At this time, Li Gongtan secretly said in his heart: "When I was young, I saw Uncle Zhong, who was a hero, but why is his grandson so unhealthy." ”
Wu Xu's face did not move when he heard this, but he was speculating in his heart about what kind of person his grandfather was.
The old lady smiled: "It's okay." Wu Xu, come here, this is Qingwei's father, and he is also the current patriarch of the Li Mansion, and he will be your uncle in the future, don't see outside. ”
Wu Xuan hurriedly saluted Li Gongtan and said, "I've seen my uncle." ”
Li Gongtan gave a reserved "um", casually encouraged a few words, and didn't say much.
Wu Xu saw that the patriarch might have something to talk about with the old lady here, and it was not good to stay for a long time, in fact, it was enough to say it here, so he said goodbye to the old lady: "Old lady, uncle, if the boy wants to go back and rest for a while, he won't bother, and he will come back later to ask for peace." ”
The old lady bowed slightly, and reminded Wu Xuan to pay attention to rest and not to see outside the house. Wu Xuan said yes repeatedly, and seemed to glance at Zhou Xianfeng unintentionally before leaving.
Li Gongtan watched Wu Xu walk out of the room, turned his head to the old lady and smiled: "This calm response is rare. ”
The old lady sighed a little, "The heart is good, but unfortunately the physical qualifications are average, but I don't know if there are roots, it stands to reason that your uncle Huaili's grandson, the roots and bones should be qualified." Speaking of this, he looked at Zhou Xian and said with interest: "Mr. Zhou, what happened yesterday? Wu Xu's body seems to have strengthened a lot, and this is not something that can be done overnight. ”
In fact, Zhou Xianfeng was also confused about this matter, but he just guessed a little, and he couldn't do it at all, he was calm and calm, and he also knew that some things were not easy to talk about, let alone in front of the old lady. So he only said that Wu Xu meditated under the Buddha statue in Huayan Temple, and fainted in meditation, and that Master Zhiren placed them to live in the temple, and did not say much else.
The old lady laughed and said, "Isn't this nonsense? ”
At this time, Li Gongtan said, "Master Zhiren, isn't it the little apprentice of Master Hongxuan?"
Zhou Feng said: "It's him, does the sect chief know him?"
Li Gongtan said: "I have met a few times, and I went to Huayan Temple to ask for Master Hongxuan to receive this person before." However, at that time, Master Hongxuan was in retreat, but he did not see it. ”
At this time, Qingwei interjected: "Daddy, do you also want to see Master Hongxuan?"
Li Gongtan's eyes flashed, and he asked, "You went to Huayan Temple today, did you see anyone?"
Qingwei looked at Zhou Xianfeng, obviously because she didn't want to say, Zhou Xianfeng said: "Today, Xiang Yuheng and his sister Xiang Yucheng also went to Huayan Temple, and it was to ask to see Master Hongxuan, but they were politely refused, and the master said that Xiang Yuheng was obsessed and it was inconvenient to meet him. Seeing that he still didn't give up, Xiang Yucheng suddenly said before leaving that the head of the Xiang family would also visit Huayan Temple in a few days, but Xiang Yuheng didn't seem to know about this matter, but he didn't know if it was true or not. ”
The old lady pondered for a moment and said, "This girl is quite clever. ”
Li Gongtan said: "The current county is three-legged, and any party with the support of Master Hongxuan can have the upper hand, and the Xiang family has always been ambitious, so it is not surprising that he has done so." ”
Qingwei's big eyes flickered, knowing that the opportunity was rare, she hurriedly pulled her father's arm and coquettishly: "Daddy, you see that they are so hypocritical, saying one thing and doing another, how terrible, Qingwei doesn't want to marry into the Xiang family, Qingwei doesn't want to leave grandpa, daddy, can you bear to see grandpa and little Qingwei's grandson separated?"
Li Gongtan smiled bitterly in his heart when he heard this, and said in his heart Your sister Hongfu has killed her younger brother, what kind of marriage do you have to marry?
The old lady laughed, pinched Qingwei's little face, and said happily: "Don't separate, don't separate, whoever lets our grandchildren separate me will break his legs." ”
Li Gongtan's face became more bitter when he heard this, Qingwei proudly snorted at him, Li Gongtan couldn't help her, so he no longer paid attention to her, but said to the old lady: "Father, I am going to lead Minghao and Fu'er to Huayan Temple again in the next two days to ask Master Hongxuan, although the master is not in the red dust, but it is good to balance the scales in his heart, and I heard that he is about to enter the Arhat fruit position, if you can see it, it is also a chance, what do you think?"
The old lady said fairly: "You can decide the things in the house, it is said that Master Hongxuan was already in the realm of Anahanguo Great Perfection a few years ago, this time he went out, I don't know what situation he has reached, if you can really see it, it will definitely be beneficial to break through the bottleneck." You have been stagnant for several years in the Great Perfection of the Refining Realm, and I have taught everything that should be taught, and everything depends on your own creation. There are some things that should be fought for. Moreover, if you advance to the Huaqi realm, then we already have three Shangzhen in our house, and the year after tomorrow will be the five-year period of the Immortal Ju Imperial Examination and the family ranking, you should know what this means. ”
Li Gongtan was awe-inspiring, and hurriedly bowed down to be taught: "Yes! ”
"Hmm. The old lady saw that Zhou Xianfeng was a little speechless, so he asked, "What's the matter?" Zhou Tong, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly. ”
Zhou Xianfeng paused for a moment and said: "That's the case, old lady, although I see Wu Gongzi with average qualifications, but his heart is really tough, I can't help but think of my ...... back then" Speaking of this, Zhou Xianfeng smiled bitterly, and said: "Don't hide it from the old lady, although I was detected Mu Xing fairy bones back then, my qualifications were not very good, and it is said that there are many impurities, but I also know hard work, and now I meet Wu Gongzi, and I feel that it is fate." And with his temperament, it's a pity not to cultivate immortals. Therefore, there is a request below, if Wu Gongzi does have roots, he is not talented in Xia, and he is willing to teach, but there are some things that are not good at specializing. Said so, but what happened to Wu Xu made him feel very weird, and vaguely he had a feeling of picking up a treasure.
The old lady pondered for a moment, and said secretly in his heart: "I am also thinking about this matter, Brother Huaili has passed away, and Qiying is also living in difficulty, I only hate that I can't meet them sooner." Wu Xu, this kid is a backbone and has a man's backbone, if it weren't for his sister being seriously ill this time, I'm afraid he wouldn't have come to me. The matter has come to this point, and all I can do now is to take care of Qiying's mother and daughter, and then lead Wu Xu, the child, on the road of cultivating immortals. It's a pity that this kid has a good heart, and his roots must be qualified, but his qualifications are not too good, and he started late, and he doesn't know how far he can go in the future. ”
Seeing that the old lady was silent, Zhou Xianfeng couldn't help but be a little anxious, but he didn't expect Qingwei to suddenly giggle, and said while laughing: "Haha, I'm laughing to death, Mr. Zhou...... You are so thick-skinned, you are happy to see Brother Wu Xu, and if you want to accept him as an apprentice, you will say it directly, and you will say that people are like no one wants to want it, and you didn't hear it when we came back, Master Zhiren is Brother Wu Xu's brother, and even Master Hongxuan invited him to be a guest...... Haha, I'm laughing to death......"
