Chapter 23 The Visit of the Old Man
Time flies!
Soon a year passed, and this year was also the happiest time for Jing Wujie, practicing hard every day, no one embarrassed him, there was that Qingfeng to open a small stove for him, and the mountain spirit gave him guidance, but he didn't let him cultivate too fast, and always stopped him, although Jing Wujie had doubts, he still did it.
Qing Feng's guidance was very attentive, and he taught all the spells he had learned, but the progress of Jing Wujie's learning was neither fast nor slow, it was equivalent to the middle level among the outer disciples.
But this made Qingfeng not very satisfied, and sometimes he would be angry at Jing Wujie.
Looking at Qingfeng with exposed green muscles, Wang Youcai would feel scared, a person who would not get angry on weekdays, suddenly started a fire and was hysterical. The matter of cultivation was originally gradual, because of Qing Feng's frequent anger, coupled with a major event that happened, Jing Wujie's intention to stabilize and slowly cultivate began to loosen again.
Because before the beginning of winter, Xuanjianmen sent an invitation to Fazhao Temple, the largest Buddhist sect in Qingyun Prefecture, and invited Master Mingyu, the abbot of Fazhao Temple, and his elite disciples to Canglang Mountain as guests to discuss the subtleties of Buddhism and Taoism together, and let these disciples learn spells to see how strong the rookie is, so as to better eliminate demons and defend the world.
This post also sent several letters to the current officials and wealthy people in the Anzhou government, inviting them to go up the mountain to drink tea and enjoy the snow, and talk about the scriptures, and these adults said that they would participate.
Abbot Mingyu also replied to the post, indicating that he would take his disciples up the mountain at the beginning of winter to discuss and study together.
The entire Xuanjian Sect regards this as a top priority, and the disciples of the inner and outer sects practice diligently every day and night, wanting to become people who can fight for the sect, and the disciples of the Miscellaneous Sect have to clean the entire sect up and down every day.
After the news was released, it also caused a lot of sensation in the entire Anzhou Mansion, whether it was a dignitary or an ordinary person, they all focused their attention on this upcoming Taoist Conference, because the Fazhao Temple was located in the city of Anzhou Mansion, and received more attention, and there were more pilgrims on Canglang Mountain than usual, everyone was guessing what kind of results this grand event would bring, whose disciples would be better, as for the Taoist family or the Buddhist family, everyone had already measured and emphasized in their hearts.
Although they are both monks and cultivators, the tenets of Taoism and Buddhism are very different, and the disciples of the Xuanjian Sect Hanzi generation who are studying the Taoism this time will be selected from the most outstanding disciples, Qingfeng must be among them, and he has been in retreat for the past few days, and has devoted himself to cultivation.
Jing Wujie looked at the busy senior brothers, and once again felt that he had no sense of existence, and the work of cleaning the sect was also rushed by other disciples, and the four thorns of the Miscellaneous Servant Academy, under the leadership of Zhao Fugui, were all holding a book and reading it there in a serious way at the moment, and they had never seen such hard work on weekdays.
I can't read the scriptures anymore, I can't calm down, walking in the woods outside the sect, some small beasts will run away immediately when they see themselves, birds and beasts go, and there is no situation where they dare to stop and watch in front of people's eyes for a moment before. Maybe it's because your killing behavior has been discovered by beasts, maybe it's because the murderous aura on your body is even heavier, and you will feel that the anger on your body is very heavy, and you will lose your temper at every turn.
"It seems that I have scrapped this beast control technique, and I can't practice it! Everyone else is communicating with beasts to become their partners, and I brought them to eat!" Looking at those beasts that scattered in a hurry when they saw him, Jing Wujie sighed, since he went up the mountain, I am afraid that more than five hundred beasts have been slaughtered!
Unconsciously, Jing Wujie walked to the place of the Hanging Sword Gate in the back mountain, and it was here that he and his master met his old friends Fang Zhuo and Qing Feng, and it was here that he began his sect career, but this sect career did not seem to be suitable for him.
It's been more than a year, and I haven't integrated into the feeling that the sect is my family, and I love and care for everyone, and then think about what I have learned in the past year or so? The progress of the Spiritual Breath Technique is medium, and most of the miscellaneous disciples can reach the first level, and the speed of drawing talismans and chanting spells is much faster, but it will only be the simplest.
The beast control technique seems to be in vain, but the beast roasting technique is perfect, and the sword control technique is still far behind, and it can't even control a leaf with telekinesis, let alone the flight of the sword.
"Senior Brother Qingfeng can't do the flying of the sword!" Jing Wujie comforted himself like this, and he was not so depressed, but thinking of Qing Feng's recent tantrum with him, his face collapsed again.
"Unbounded!"
A hoarse old voice came, and the chirping monkey Xiaoliu didn't stop, without looking back, Jing Wujie knew who was coming.
"Master!" Jing Wujie turned around happily and galloped towards Ma Hu, shouting excitedly, "Master, you are so good at coming here?"
Jing Wujie ran in front of Ma Hu is a big hug, and Xiao Liu also jumped off Ma Hu's shoulder and hugged Jing Wujie, full of joy at reunion.
Ma Hu touched Jing Wujie's head dotingly, "Wujie, you have grown a lot taller, you are now a person who has entered the Xuanjian Sect, you can no longer call me master!"
"But I don't have an apprenticeship here!" Jing Wujie said with a suffocated mouth.
"I haven't apprenticed for more than a year?" Ma Hu frowned, but didn't continue to ask, changed the topic and said, "This amorous little six, more than a year ago, provoked a lot of female monkeys here, and has been irritable these days, not to mention taking him to Canglang Mountain, it's better!"
Jing Wujie laughed, pulled Xiao Liu's face and said, "Xiao Liu, who is merciful everywhere, turned out to be here to see his daughter-in-law, not to see me!"
The monkey seemed to be shy, and when he heard the two talking about himself, he actually covered his face with his hands, and did not dare to look at them.
This laughter made the atmosphere a lot more relaxed, but Jing Wujie kept seeing Ma Hu's brows tightly locked, as if he had something on his mind, so he asked again, "Master, is there something wrong?" You are from Ping'an County, my father, how are they?"
"It's okay, it's okay, your father and mother are very good, and your brother is also very good! Ma Hu hurriedly said, and took a tightly tied pocket from his back and handed it to Jing Wujie.
"I'm just worried about you, I've been dreaming about you lately, so I've come to see you!"
Jing Wujie took the pocket, and the tears flowed down uncontrollably, thinking of his father and mother in the distance, and he didn't have a letter to them this year, "This road is not easy to walk, it will take two months to come here, it's really hard work!"
Ma Hu snorted and said, "It's hard but it's not hard, Lao Tzu is not old yet, and your neighbor Xia Lao Liu's dart bureau just happened to have a dart to be taken to the state capital, so I followed a ride, and it was leisurely along the way, by the way, your little friend Xia Jian became a dart master, and he kept asking you along the way, asking me to say hello for you!
Jing Wujie remembered that Xia Jian said that he wanted to be a dart master to break into the world, and it seemed that he had really done it, and what he wanted to be an immortal was still far away.
"I heard that the seminar between Xuanjianmen and Fazhao Temple is on the winter solstice, cultivators, why are you doing all these flamboyant things? Just look at the excitement, it doesn't matter if I live in this old friend's house temporarily!"
Ma Hu didn't look at Jing Wujie's lonely appearance, and looked at the yard by himself, "It's quite clean, someone lives in it on weekdays!"
"No one lives here, since Uncle Fang left, no one has lived here, but they will come to clean it on weekdays. Jing Wujie replied.
Ma Hu nodded, "Then my old man lives here?"
"Of course you can! so that I can see the master often!" Jing Wujie said happily, and Xiao Liu also clapped his hands happily, expressing his extreme agreement, and it was more convenient to find his spouses here.
