Chapter 13 Preaching Disciple
It was already evening when Liang Yan returned to the dormitory. At this time, Sun and Li had already come back. Sun, Qian and Li were still the same as before, with the door closed and fast asleep in the dormitory. , Li Dali was lucky to practice martial arts in the courtyard. When he saw Liang Yan coming back, he immediately stood up and said enthusiastically: "Brother Liang, you are finally back. I think if you don't come back, I will go find you."
"Oh?" Liang Yan said strangely: "I wonder what Brother Li is looking for. ?”
“Brother Liang is still new to the game, so you don’t know that tomorrow is the preaching meeting for our servant disciples?”
Liang Yan frowned and asked, “Preaching meeting. ?”
"Exactly, although our handyman disciples cannot enter the Chuan Gong Pavilion to read our sect's martial arts and magical powers, the sect will send a top disciple from the outer sect every six months to teach our handyman disciples and solve their doubts. This preaching conference is very important to us. This is a huge good thing for us. I'm afraid that Brother Liang will miss it without knowing it, especially I'll tell you."
Liang Yan felt warm and said gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Li, for telling me."
Li Dali waved his hand and said, "You are too polite. The handyman disciples have a very low status in the sect, and we are the only ones in the formation. There are only three of us, and we must support each other. If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me. I will never refuse if I can help you."
Liang Yan said in his heart: "Although Li Dali's cultivation is not high, But Gu Dao Rechang is a person you can make friends with." So he smiled and said, "Li. I admire my brother for his generosity. I will trouble Brother Li in the future."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and Li Dali said: "Brother Liang is actually unlucky enough to be assigned to this formation. I had no choice but to choose this place.”
Liang Yan said: "Actually, it doesn't matter. I like peace and quiet, and it's not bad here."
"Brother Liang doesn't know that our sect's resource supply is eight spiritual stones per month for inner disciples, and three Spirit Gathering Pill; outer disciples have three spirit pills per month. Stone, a Spirit-Gathering Pill; and our handyman disciples actually have a Spirit-Gathering Pill every month, and a Spirit-Gathering Pill every six months."
"Oh, then why have I never had such a thing? I got it." Before he finished speaking, Liang Yan already understood. "Isn't it Wang Yuan?"
Li Dali glanced at him, nodded and said: "Brother Liang, it's good that he knows, we and other servant disciples don't have any sect status, even if we go to the Law Pavilion to complain, No one may pay attention to him. Moreover, Wang Yuan also has a sister who is extremely talented. She is an outer disciple and is now serving in the Law Pavilion. There is no way we can defeat him."
Liang Yan nodded and thought deeply. He had the spiritual stones given by the old monk, plus the spiritual stones he had taken from Chen Chong and others, there were almost three hundred. There are many pieces, but there is no shortage of spiritual stones. It's just that he has a huge amount of money and his heart is unpredictable, so he should be careful and never show it.
Seeing him lowering his head and saying nothing, Li Dali thought he was depressed, so he explained: "Brother Liang, there is no need to be so depressed. You must know that the immortal path is difficult, and it is extremely difficult for us to try to practice against heaven. Now when we work in the sect, It's better than ordinary people, some of whom have no food to eat, and some who are ravaged by war and are in danger. We are not very advanced, but we can stay in this spiritual cultivation treasure land, which is actually a blessing. Thanks to the blessing of the sect, it is the dream of many mortals to live for more than a hundred years without any illness or pain."
Liang Yan said with a smile: "Brother Li can see clearly. "He has great ambitions, and is even more responsible for the murder of his father. He never thought of living here for the rest of his life, so he was unwilling to discuss this issue with Li Dali. He only exchanged a few words and went back to his room to rest.
The next morning, Liang Yan pushed the door open and found that Sun and Li were already waiting in the courtyard. Sun Qianli glanced at him and said impatiently: "Everyone is here, now Are you ready to go?"
Li Dali smiled honestly: " Let’s go, the three of us will go together.”
So Sun and Li led the way, and Liang Yan followed closely. They walked for about half a day, and they reached a green building near noon. In front of the mountain peak, there is a stone tablet at the foot of the mountain with the words "Xuanji Peak" engraved on it. Everyone climbed up the stairs. The mountain was low. After a while, they reached the top of the mountain and saw a huge white jade square appearing in front of Liang Yan.
The white jade square is tens of feet in diameter and is square in shape. There are four jade sculptures standing in the four corners. They are a young man writing a pen, a woman playing the piano, a middle-aged man holding a picture scroll, and an old man meditating in front of the chessboard. There were hundreds of futons placed in the middle of the square, most of which were already seated.
Liang Yan raised his eyes and glanced around. Most of them were at the second level of Qi training, only a few were at the third level of Qi training, and almost none were at the first level. Although everyone is wearing gray shirts of similar style, the details are different. Some people have an alchemy furnace painted on the front of their coats, obviously they are alchemy disciples, while some have a talisman painted on the same position, obviously. He is a disciple of Fumai. As for Liang Yan and the other three, they wore an octagonal array plate on their clothes.
Liang Yan silently calculated and found that there were more than 80 Danmai disciples in the field, and about 30 Fumai disciples. As for the four piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, they were all under fifty. Above people, they are the only ones with the fewest formation pulses, only three of them.
Liang Yan smiled bitterly in his heart and followed Li Dali, Sun Qian and Li to sit down on an empty futon. Sitting next to her was a female Qin Dao disciple. She frowned when she saw Liang Yan and the others sitting there. She glanced at a few people with disgust, then moved the futon under her body a few inches to the side.
Only listening to the whispers of a few people around, one of the round-faced female disciples said: "Did you see, those are the two most useless people among our Yixing Pavilion servant disciples. I heard that they have been here for more than three years. It’s still a level of Qi training.”
Another rather mean-looking female disciple said: "Isn't that right? Although our handyman disciples have a low status in the sect, Yixing Pavilion is the largest sect in the Yue Kingdom. Even the handyman disciples are naturally higher than Compared with the casual cultivators outside the sect, these two people have low talents and are not willing to make progress. They are simply not worthy of being with us. They are really a disgrace to us."
At this time, a male disciple also said: "That boy next to them look unfamiliar Very cool, are they the new handyman disciples of Zhenmai? "
"Humph, as the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, so those two losers are naturally also losers." "Ha. Haha, what Brother Liu said is absolutely true!”
These people scoffed at the three of them, as if they were born in Qin Dao. Nobility cannot be compared to three people.
Although the voices of these people were not loud, they did not deliberately lower their voices. At this moment, the words were clearly heard in the ears of Liang Yan and others. Li Dali and Sun Qianli both had angry looks on their faces. But Liang Yan smiled slightly and didn't mind at all. At this time, he looked at his nose with his eyes, his nose at his heart, and he was sitting cross-legged, as if the old god was there.
While everyone in the square was still whispering, a burst of sandalwood suddenly floated from a distance, like orchids in an empty valley, sweeping away the irritability in people's hearts. Then a scholar came up from the mountain path. He was wearing a moon-white robe, a Confucian scarf on his head, and a sharp sword at his waist. He was holding an incense burner in his right hand, with a red sandalwood stick inserted in it.
"Here we come, this person is Zhuo Bufan, the top three disciples in the outer courtyard. His cultivation has reached the peak of the seventh level of Qi training. This time, he is the preaching disciple." The topic in the field suddenly changed. to the scholar who suddenly appeared.
"He is indeed a talented person. I heard that his uncle is one of the elders of the cabinet. He has extraordinary strength. This person's future is limitless."
Some female disciples even have nymphomaniac expressions on their faces. Like, he murmured to himself: "Excellent, extraordinary, extraordinary indeed."
Zhuo Bufan took a look at the expressions of everyone in the field, his expression did not change at all, he jumped up and sat on the podium in the field, put down the incense burner with his right hand, and said: "Junior brothers and sisters, Zhuo is not talented, because this time Preaching disciples, if you have any questions during the sermon, please feel free to ask, Zhuo knows everything."
Then he pointed at the fragrance around him. Furnace, "What Zhuo brought is the Ningshen Incense, which will help you realize the truth. This opportunity is hard to come by. I hope you will cherish it."
"What? It's actually the Ningshen Incense!"
The audience was in an uproar again. Ningshen Incense is an expensive treasure. It has the effect of calming the mind and calming the energy, assisting in cultivation, and is very helpful in breaking through bottlenecks and nourishing the soul. Not to mention their handyman disciples, even the outer disciples, it was difficult to get one, but Zhuo Bufan was actually willing to share it at a sermon meeting.
All the disciples in the field were excited and admired Zhuo Bufan immensely. At this time, an older handyman disciple in the alchemy line coughed and said: "Senior Brother Zhuo's cultivation and character are outstanding, and we are waiting for him Thank you, everyone should be quiet now to listen to Senior Brother Zhuo’s teachings.”
As soon as these words came out, the place fell silent for an instant. Zhuo Bufan nodded with satisfaction towards the alchemy disciple, and then slowly said: "We monks practice against nature. The road is difficult and dangerous, and only those with great perseverance can do it." It can’t be accomplished. The journey of cultivation is nothing more than refining the essence to transform into the spirit, refining the spirit to transform into the spirit, and even the essence and the spirit. Together, the Qi and the spirit merge, and the spirit is hidden in the void. Therefore, the essence of all things in the world is to practice the Qi and nourish the spirit, step by step.” Everyone listened quietly, and you could hear a needle drop in the field. The more than 300 servant disciples were so mesmerized that time passed unknowingly.
“.So, Qi training needs to adjust the mind, and if the state of mind is unstable, there will be many dangers in practicing in the future. If the inner demon invades when you break through, your cultivation will regress, and it will be difficult to make progress in this life; in the worst case, you will become possessed. It's irreversible." When Zhuo Bufan reached this point, it was already sunset, and everyone suddenly came to their senses, feeling that they had benefited a lot.
Even Liang Yan felt that he had gained a lot. Although he had been taught by the old monk before, most of them urged him to memorize the formulas and practice the Dharma diligently. He did not have too much basic knowledge about some introductory cultivation. In terms of explanation, it was Senior Brother Zhuo who gave the lecture and solved many of the puzzling questions he had in his previous practice.
At this time, someone asked: "The inner demons are so powerful, can you rest your soul and get rid of the inner demons by practicing talismans and other methods?"
The person who asked the question was a chess disciple. Zhuo Bufan shook his head and replied: "As monks, we should focus on our own cultivation first. The higher the cultivation level, the longer the lifespan, and the greater the magical power, then you can practice the second level of Qi. The mission is to improve your cultivation before considering these heresy." After hearing this, the chess disciple who asked the question nodded and sat down in shame.
Then a tall man from Danmai stood up and saluted, and asked: "Senior Brother Zhuo, after I reached the peak of the third level of Qi training, I obviously felt that my cultivation was stagnant and my progress was slow. What I cultivate is Taiheli. Fire Jue, I don’t know what’s wrong with this, please give me some advice.”
< br>Zhuo Bufan smiled gently and said: "Actually, this is not a hurdle for Junior Brother Tang. I have said before that monks practice against nature and are not tolerated by heaven and earth. There are three major difficulties in this Qi refining period. One of them is Qi training. The third level of peak breakthrough to the fourth level, the second one is the breakthrough of the seventh level of Qi training to the eighth level of Qi training, and finally The first level is naturally the last step to reach the peak of the ninth level of Qi training, the foundation of the spiritual platform."
"The difficulty of the first two of these three levels is not much different. If you have slightly better qualifications, you only need to practice hard and you will eventually be able to do it. Breakthrough; those with poor qualifications may need the help of elixirs to break through. As for this last level, according to legend. It's hard to compare to ascending to heaven. Only after building the foundation can monks be considered among the cultivators of immortality. And we Qi-training monks are only slightly better than the top ordinary inner masters."
" That’s it.” Many disciples at the third level of Qi training in the audience looked as if they had suddenly realized something.
At this time, a beautiful female disciple of Qin Dao suddenly asked: "I have long heard that Senior Brother Zhuo is a master of Qin and Sword, and he is one of the best among men. Will my little girl be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of Senior Brother Zhuo's Qin and Sword style?" After saying this, he lowered his head. She didn't dare to look at him, but her face was blushing, which made her even more charming.
As soon as these words came out, most of the female disciples in the field also echoed their words, all wanting to see the extraordinary piano skills and swordsmanship. Zhuo Bufan frowned slightly, then relaxed, and sighed: "That's all, let you have a look."
