Chapter 35: Between Teachers and Righteousness
Hearing this, Xuanyangzi glanced at Zhou Yi meaningfully, the seventh junior brother rarely had such a hurry when he used to beg others to enter his door, how could he oppose the guest today and take the initiative to invite this young man?
Could it be that this young man is really strange, which has aroused the interest of the seventh junior brother, Xuanyangzi felt a pang in his heart at the moment, and couldn't help but look at Han Shi carefully, and his spiritual sense moved at will, surrounding Han Shi and probing.
The gray stone in Han Shi's eyebrows was slightly cold, and the spiritual sense that Xuanyangzi thought was impossible to be detected by the young man in front of him was invisible in Han Shi's eyes.
Han Shi didn't move at the moment, as if he didn't notice anything, just looked at Zhou Yi quietly, as if thinking about something. Xuanyangzi's spiritual sense looked Han Shi up and down, inside and out, and did not find the slightest peculiarity, Xuanyangzi was slightly disappointed in his heart, and the look of anticipation in his eyes weakened a lot.
"Please also ask Senior Zhou for your understanding, if I want to be willing to worship you as a teacher, before that, I must ask Senior Zhou a question, and I hope to allow it. ”
"Bold, what kind of humble identity are you, Elder Zhou has given you the opportunity, where is your bargaining qualification, don't be ignorant. ”
Hearing Han Shi's disrespectful words, a Xuanyang Sect disciple on the side immediately lowered his face, pointed at Han Shi and scolded.
Han Shi was unmoved, and he didn't look at the person who was scolding, but he looked at Zhou Yi with burning eyes.
Zhou Yi was slightly stunned, and the next moment, his eyes suddenly flourished, and he waved his hands to both sides, and several Xuanyangmen disciples on the side immediately became respectful, and hurriedly said yes, and retreated into the distance.
"Young man, just ask if you have anything. ”
Zhou Yi's curiosity in his heart at this moment was more than excitement, he had been cultivating for nearly a thousand years, and he never thought that there would be such a unique situation today.
The road of cultivating immortals, under the first contact of many mortals, they are all excited and trembling in their hearts, and they are even more respectful and afraid of the future master, and they are all extremely honored when they are selected by the master, where is there a bargain when the immortal chooses himself.
What's more, looking at the posture in front of him, if his answer does not meet this person's expectations, this young man named Han Shi seems to be unwilling to worship under him.
For the first time, he had the strange feeling of begging others to worship him as a teacher, and Zhou Yi showed a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time.
Xuanyangzi also looked at Zhou Yi and Han Shi with a strange face, and secretly thought to himself: "The seventh junior brother has finally been moved once in so many years, and the apprentice selected today is also extremely strange, respecting the teacher and respecting the thousand-year-old inheritance, where is there an apprentice who picks the master?"
"With such a weak spiritual root, why is he so confident? Aren't you afraid of angering your junior brother and making the bamboo basket empty?"
Han Shi cleared his throat, bowed deeply to Zhou Yi and Xuanyangzi, and said in a clear voice: "Please forgive the two seniors for being presumptuous, I have heard the teachings of the elders since I was a child, and I sacrificed myself to take righteousness." ”
Later, I heard that respecting the master is like a father. ”
"Boy, may I ask Senior Zhou, if one day, the teacher does not take righteousness, how should the disciple deal with himself, should he give up his teacher for righteousness, or should he give up righteousness and respect the teacher?"
Xuanyangzi let out a sigh of relief, and the strange color in his eyes was even stronger, this Han Shi was so bold that he was almost going to poke a hole in the sky.
Is this question saying that he can betray his teacher or even kill him for the sake of righteousness in the future?
And looking at the thoughtful expression of the senior brother, he didn't even have the slightest intention of blaming Han Shi, no wonder in the eyes of those junior disciples of the Xuanyang Sect, the seventh junior brother was the most eccentric among the many elders in the sect.
Zhou Yi groaned for a while, and there was a hint of praise and affirmation in his eyes when he looked at Han Shi, and said in a calm tone: "Han Shi, your courage is really big, I don't know if you really have doubts, or just to grandstand, or to test the depth of your future master, but no matter what, the old man answers your question." ”
In the old man's view, the dignity of the teacher is the way of inheritance of all things in this world, which must not be easily shaken. ”
"But where righteousness is, even if tens of millions of people and I have gone to it, if there are thousands of avenues in this world, the place of righteousness is the one closest to the way of heaven among these avenues, so in the eyes of the old man, righteousness is more important than the teacher. ”
"Han Shi, whether you will learn from the old man in the future, if you can only choose one between the righteous master in the future, the old man hopes that you will choose righteousness. ”
Han Shi closed his eyes, a thoughtful look appeared on his face, and gradually, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, opened his eyes, a ray of essence flashed away, his hands were clasped together, and he bowed deeply to Zhou Yi three times.
"Thank you Master for your advice, Han Shi will not dare to live up to Master's expectations in the future. ”
Zhou Yi showed a smile on his face, and said: "Slow, your question, the old man gave the answer, but I have three levels, if you can't deal with it, although the old man will still accept you as an apprentice, but he is only a registered disciple, and he can only learn some of the most superficial exercises." ”
"If you can pass these three levels, I will accept you as a personal disciple and hand over all my exercises to you, do you dare to fight?"
"Why don't you dare? Han Shi looked firm and said slowly.
Under Xuanyangzi's calm appearance, he was completely speechless, and he only sighed secretly in his heart, this is really a strange master to accept strange apprentices, and the big weird can only accept small weirdness.
Zhou Yi's eyes were deep, looking at the void in the distance, with a hint of memory in his eyes, and he said in a low voice before he said in a low voice: "The first level is a question, as you just said, sacrifice yourself to take righteousness, but, what is righteousness?"
When Han Shi heard this, he was silent for a long time before he said word by word: "The righteous one, the righteousness of heaven and earth, also represents the fairness and justice of the world, it exists in everyone's heart, and the righteousness in everyone's heart is different, but whether it is big or small, it is righteousness, if you are willing to dedicate and sacrifice for it, you can experience the true spirit of righteousness, and the righteousness in the heart of the disciple is the fairness and justice in my heart." ”
"Maybe with the passage of time, there will be unfair and unjust things happening to me, but that little bit of righteousness in my heart will never be erased, and it will shine in my heart like an everlasting lamp, so that I will not lose my way. ”
Zhou Yi nodded nonchalantly when he heard this, and was noncommittal to Han Shi's words, but there was a hint of a smile in his eyes.
Zhou Yi shook his sleeves, stood up and turned around and strode away, "Go to Luoyun Peak with the teacher, the second level is there." ”
Zhou Yi's fingers pinched slightly, and a cloud fell from the air like a leaf on the platform, and in the eyes of many people around him with complicated expressions, Han Shi followed Zhou Yi to the cloud.
These eyes have sighs, jealousy, resentment, excitement, resentment, encouragement, and disdain, feeling these eyes, Han Shi looks calm, without the slightest expression of concern.
As the clouds floated, Zhou Yi and Han Shi gradually approached Luo Yunfeng as if they were supported by the breeze.
On the platform, the last batch of low-grade spirit root teenagers were assigned to various peaks and became miscellaneous disciples, if they could not reach the third level of the Ning Yuan period within ten years, they would be moved back to their hometown, and they would have no chance to cultivate immortals for life.
The third weight of Ning Yuan is the threshold for becoming an outer disciple.
With the departure of the two, the whispers on the platform also began to rise one after another, and the small circle led by the three brothers of the Li family quickly formed after two of the three were the best attributes and one was the top grade.
Flattery and flattery are endless, and these three people come from the same mortal family, and their future is limitless.
Even some Xuanyang Sect disciples with relatively high cultivation also put down their bodies and befriended these three people.
And judging from the expressions of these three people, Han Shi had obviously offended them, and coupled with the consistent weakness of Luo Yunfeng's disciples, most of them already knew how to choose in the future.
Seeing Zhou Yi and Han Shi leave, Xuanyangzi regained the momentum of a faction, slowly stood up, his pure white hair glowed silver under the sunlight, and there was no powerful and domineering aura exposed on his body, but the whole person looked extremely ethereal, giving people a solemn feeling.
"All the disciples follow the master, return to the peak, follow the master to concentrate on cultivation, and the new disciples of the sect in five years, Dabi, will be the place where you show your strength. ”
Xuanyangzi's voice was not loud, but it echoed in the valley for a long time.
"In this world, only the strong can be respected, and the weak will only live under others forever, and even their lives cannot be saved. ”
