Chapter 254: Lecture on Ancient and Modern Judgments, Underground Exploration (Please collect, please subscribe!!)
One morning, a morning glow just appeared in the east, auspicious clouds surged, and the red sun rose slowly, shining out streaks Golden light and wisps of purple energy sprinkled on the earth along with the brilliance of the sun and stars.
Cangyun Mountains, Jiuxia Peak, Lin Qinghan's retreat place, Lu Cheng used the escape light to go up the stairs step by step to visit his mentor.
There are restrictions on Jiuxia Peak and you cannot fly high. At the same time, this is also a sign of respect for the masters of the sect. Therefore, the Taoist went up the mountain path and suddenly heard the sound of gurgling water. A crystal clear stream came from a high place. The mountain stream pours down, splashing water like pearls.
The wild flowers blooming beside the stream are colorful, attracting butterflies to dance. Under the sunlight, the stream glowed with silvery light, like pearls scattered on the ground.
Looking at such beautiful mountain scenery, Lu Cheng was in a good mood.
“Brother Tie!”
At this time, someone called from behind.
Lu Cheng stopped to escape, and not long after, a fat monk in blue flew over and took the lead to salute and said:
"Brother, I came very early. I am staying here." Within the sect, he didn’t arrive earlier than Senior Brother Tie.”
This person's surname is Lan Dao'an, probably because of his surname. He also likes to wear blue Taoist robes. He is a direct descendant of the second generation of the sect and is also a registered disciple of Lin Qinghan.
Speaking of which, Lu Cheng, the cheap master, is really interesting.
Master Lin Qinghan himself was born in a family of cultivators. Because of his outstanding cultivation aptitude, his family spent all their resources and connections to send him to Huanyun Valley for training.
Because of his excellent Taoist qualifications and the support of his sect and family, Lin Qinghan devoted himself to practicing Taoism, and did not practice any of the various arts of immortality.
Being so refined, pure and focused, coupled with good qualifications and good understanding, the improvement of the realm of magic is of course fast, so Lin Qinghan broke through both the Foundation Building and Purple Mansion levels at a young age. , became the ancestor of Jindan and the backer behind the Lin family.
The investment made back then has now paid off handsomely.
However, this person has no cultivation skills at all, and relies entirely on the support of the sect. He occasionally takes on one or two sect tasks. Even the resources to maintain his own practice can only be barely self-sufficient. Sometimes, Need family support.
Building foundations, this is okay in the Zifu realm. In order to support Lin Qinghan's cultivation of golden elixirs and purchase of various resources to assist breakthroughs, the Lin family has been completely emptied. In addition, he still owes a lot to the sect. Foreign debts from fellow teachers.
Of course, Lin Qinghan succeeded in refining the golden elixir at a young age, and this investment was considered a huge profit no matter what. However, Lin Qinghan’s embarrassment in the past few decades is somewhat inevitable, and his worth is far less than Some long-time monks from the Zifu.
Lin Qinghan did not have the skills to cultivate immortality. After being promoted to the Golden Elixir, he needed a large amount of spiritual stones to purchase magic weapons to assist in his cultivation.
So in the past few years, she has recruited several named disciples one after another, seven in total including Lu Cheng. She does not seek anything else but to raise spiritual stones.
Outer sect disciples, inner sect disciples, registered disciples, true disciples, Huanyun Valley only has registered disciples, true disciples have separate courtyards, while outer sect and inner sect disciples sleep in Datongbu.
Don't underestimate the importance of having a separate courtyard. Just having a private cave medicine garden can make the inner and outer disciples drool with envy.
In a place where a large sect is full of spiritual energy, just grow some elixirs, even if you don't take care of it, it will be a huge source of wealth a hundred years later.
What's more, this true disciple often does not need to manage it personally. The outer disciples are also called handyman disciples. They can help the senior brothers take care of the medicine garden, which is a job that they are competing for.
By taking care of the medicine garden, you can practice on the better spiritual veins of your senior brother's cave, which will also cost a lot of spiritual stones over the years.
Not to mention that after having a master, the inheritance of exercises and techniques is very different from that of a disciple who can only listen to public sermons.
The sect encourages high-level monks to recruit disciples and pass down the Taoist lineage to a certain extent, so the sect provides support in terms of resources, but it also stipulates the quota for each Jindan Master, Lin Qinghan Master Seven registered disciples is already the limit. If you want to increase the number, you can only add one or two more places by making great contributions to the sect or by increasing the number of years you have served the sect.
Otherwise, if we accept more registered disciples, we will not be able to get support from the sect’s resources. Then it is up to the teacher to support the disciples.
Lu Cheng used fifth-level Millennium Rehmannia glutinosa ginseng as a thank you gift, and his second junior brother Lan Daoan, whose parents were deacon monks of Huanyun Valley, spent a large sum of spiritual stones to have his only son become a disciple of Jindan Master. Then teach it privately, so that he can serve as the head of two families and have a larger and deeper network of people in the sect.
The path of spiritual practice in the future will be much easier than others.
It is parents who love their children for whom they have profound plans. The road is safe, the road is safe, the road is safe.
Lu Cheng and Lan Daoan walked together and came to the cave in the mountain.
This Jiuxia Peak Cave was newly built by Master Lin Qinghan. It is not as large as those monk caves that have been in operation for many years, but it is full of ingenuity and unique atmosphere.
Sensing two escaping lights flying in from afar, Lin Qinghan released the restrictions on the cave, and a white light flew out from it and gently wrapped the two of them, unfolding a gentle force to support them and escape. Inside the cave.
"You are here too early. I will have to sit in seclusion for an hour before I am finished. If you are bored, you can go to the cave to view my collection of books."
With that said, a talisman was placed with Lu Cheng. A gentle light spread in front of Lan Daoan, guiding the two of them forward.
Master Lin Qinghan’s collection of Taoist books is of course quite rich. Although it does not involve the core inheritance of the sect, Lu Cheng and the two of them also read it with gusto.
An hour later, Master Lin Qinghan’s words came in, calling the two of them out. At this time, the other five named disciples had also arrived and were waiting in the hall:
Tie Xiao, Lan Daoan, Peng Jingyi, Yan Yingqiu, Lei Zhenhao, Sikong Bo, and Xing Haoxuan are all registered disciples of Lin Qinghan in recent years.
Compared with other real people, Lin Qinghan had just practiced alchemy not long ago, and he still had a lot of things to do in his own practice, and there were very few lectures. Therefore, the seven of them were even strangers, not as familiar as the other brothers.
Lu Cheng sat behind the long desk. A pretty woman in green clothes offered him some tea. Lu Cheng thanked her softly.
Although it looks like she is just a maid, in fact, the female cultivators living in this cave are all members of Lin Qinghan's tribe, and are closer than them.
"Before teaching today, I want to talk a few more words. Boss, you are very good. You have done your job well over the years. The mine under your management has been very good over the years. The output has been greatly improved, but the accidents have been far reduced than in previous years. If you do a good job, I will propose to the sect that you have more room for development.”
The cave is deep and dim.
Reflecting the graceful figure of the beautiful female crown behind the long table, Lin Qinghan is wearing a large Taoist robe, with a graceful figure, and the hem of her clothes sways gently with her breathing, like a lotus leaf swaying in the wind. Nv Guan's face is delicate and exquisite, and there is a trace of aloofness between her eyebrows and eyes, as if the troubles of the world have nothing to do with her.
At this moment, he praised Lucheng indifferently.
“Thank you, Master.”
Lu Cheng nodded in agreement, already hearing the unfinished meaning in Master Lin’s words.
“But there are those who do well like you senior brothers, and some who do ugly things. There are some people who use my name to stir up trouble outside...”
When he said this, the female crown's gaze first fell on Lan Daoan and paused for a moment. Then he moved away and landed on another person.
"Lao Wu, should you tell the matter yourself or should I speak for you?"
Following these words of the female crown, the fifth disciple Lei Zhenhao's face was covered with sweat. Walking out from behind the long table, his originally handsome face was now a little pale and distorted with fear.
"Master, my disciple's family runs a small business, and there are many people in the family. It is inevitable that there will be some good and some bad. Please tell me what kind of mistakes you have committed. I will definitely deal with them strictly after I return."
While speaking, Lei Zhenhao knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.
"You pushed it cleanly."
Lin Qinghan patted his jade hands gently, and the maid from his own cave led the pair of grandfather and grandson out.
When they saw Lei Zhenhao kneeling there, the white-haired old man and his granddaughter both had deep-seated resentment in their eyes.
Lei Zhenhao's face turned pale when he saw the old man and the young man. Knowing what happened today, it would be very difficult for him to be kind.
It’s just that after all, he had some sense of authority, so he quickly suppressed his worries and became as if he didn’t know these two people.
But he didn't understand that Master Jin Dan's mind was running like lightning. The change in his expression at that moment was enough for Master Jin Dan to make a final judgment.
"Two of you, please tell me clearly the cause and effect of the matter. You can rest assured that although this person is my disciple, I will never tolerate adultery."
Now that the matter has happened, that person The white-haired old man and his granddaughter were already risking their lives, but it was the girl in green who took the lead and said:
"My grandfather accidentally discovered a Soul-falling Vine in a deep valley. After all the hard work, he obtained it. At once I wanted to sell it in exchange for some spiritual stones. I heard that Leijiafang City was doing things fairly, so I went there with my treasure. Unexpectedly, they actually took advantage of the money. They first bought our Soul-falling Vine, then secretly planted a mark on us, and then led the crowd When the attack came, my whole family of more than 20 people, except for my grandfather and me, was slaughtered by the beasts of the Lei family!"
At the end of the sentence, the girl in green's eyes were splitting, obviously because of her heart! Hated to the extreme.
When the girl in green was mid-sentence, Lei Zhenhao wanted to stand up and interrupt her retort, but was restrained by an inexplicable force. It was only then that he jumped up.
“That’s nonsense. Our Lei family has been in business for many generations and has a good reputation. How can you slander us with just a few words?
Master, this must be someone sent by a competing family, or Whether it was framed and framed, or it was done by robbing Xiu, in short, our Lei family You will definitely not do such a thing!”
Lei Zhenhao went on to talk about all the possibilities, but refused to accept them. As long as there is no key evidence, the Lei family is in Huanyun. There are also some powerful people in the valley, and the two accusations alone cannot bring them down.
Except for Lin Qinghan and Lu Cheng, no one else present could see Lei Zhenhao's previous panic and fear.
The soul-falling vine is a fourth-level top spiritual object. Ordinary vines accidentally entangle and swallow the soul of the underworld. It has been formed for hundreds of years. It can be used to assist monks in opening up the Purple Mansion. Even if the performance goes wrong and the breakthrough fails, it can also protect the monk's internal organs and avoid serious damage. The gong body cuts off the path. A small family in the Qi training period accidentally obtained such a treasure. It was supposed to be an opportunity to prosper the family, but unexpectedly, it became the reason for the destruction of the entire family.
It is a crime for a child to pass through the market with a treasure in his possession.
"Zhenhao, are you saying that you have never been in contact with the Soul-falling Vine during this period? What these two people said is false and has nothing to do with your Lei family?"
"Exactly."
Lei Zhenhao had made up his mind at this time and refused to admit it. He believed that he had done a clean job and left no evidence.
At this moment, the maid who had just poured tea for Lu Cheng suddenly walked over with a brocade box and opened it.
Inside the brocade box is a condensed purple orb.
The electric light spreads faintly on it. As soon as the light shines on Lei Zhenhao's body, it reacts and reflects the gray-white ghostly energy entangled in Lei Zhenhao's body.
As soon as they saw this, everyone present reacted.
As the Soul-falling Vine and Eater Ghost grows, the Yin Qi gathers deeply. This Yin Qi is different from ordinary Yin Qi and will stick to people for a longer period of time.
In other words, if Lei Zhenhao did not do what the girl in green ordered, why did he lie?
"Master, I"
Lei Zhenhao wanted to continue to quibble, but what greeted him was a thunderous sword light.
With a flash of sword light, Lei Zhenhao’s head was cut off.
But Lin Qinghan didn't want to talk too much with him at all, so he took out his sword and chopped off his head.
“Everything that happened here today has been recorded with the Shadow Stone and will be reported to the sect immediately. You have all seen Lei Zhenhao’s fate, and the entire Lei family will also pay a heavy price for this. The price, a hundred years of accumulation was destroyed in one day."
The grandson and grandson took Lei Zhenhao's head and some spiritual stones and left with a lot of gratitude. Finally, a high-level monk was willing to reason and stand up for the lower-level monks.
Lin Qinghan took Lu Cheng and others to personally send the grandparents and grandchildren away from Jiuxia Peak.
"If even the most basic justice cannot be maintained, what difference will it make to the Tao Demon?"
Then the seven people returned to the mountain. At this time, the blood on the ground in the cave had been cleaned.
Still in the same hall as before, Lin Qinghan explained Taoism to the remaining six named disciples.
Actually, except for Tie Xiao, the remaining named disciples acted more or less domineeringly after joining his sect.
They themselves are the children of the family, and now they have a master who is in the Golden Core Realm Realm. They feel that they have a backer. Now they are killed by Lin Qinghan in one fell swoop to set an example for others.
“The ancient times were not good, but the present is different. In the world of immortal cultivation in the previous era, there was no such realm as the Condensing Yuan Purple Mansion Realm.
In that era, there were some extremely talented monks who could cultivate into Nascent Soul at the age of two or three hundred years, which was much faster than we do now.
But at that time, monks in the Qi training realm had a life span of one hundred years, those in the foundation building realm had a life span of two hundred years, Jindan masters had a life span of five hundred years, and Yuan Ying had a life span of a thousand years...
Now, In the late stage of Qi training, a monk has a life span of 120 years, a foundation of 240 years, a Zi Mansion with a life span of 400 years, a real Jin Dan with a life span of 800 years, and a real king of Yuanying that can live in the world for two thousand years. If the tribulation is successfully reversed, you can Residence for four thousand years.
Not only that, in the previous era, Yuanshen monks were almost extinct in the world, and Yuanying Zhenjun was already the highest state in the eyes of the world. Nowadays, there are one or two Yuanshen in the top sects. The divine monk is in charge.
And the influence of this Taoist foundation will inevitably have far-reaching effects. Even if the Yuanshen monks have infinite life span, can they be free and easy after ascending to the upper world? ”
In terms of Taoist derivation, Yuan Shen monks should have an infinite lifespan, but the human world is not enough to support such an immortal god. Therefore, if they practice to the Yuan Shen realm and still stay in the human world for a long time, their life span will only be one thousand more than that of Yuanying monks. Years, if the transformation is successful, the life span will be six thousand years.
But this is a theoretical lifespan. In fact, most Yuanshen monks have already experienced one tribulation when they were in the Nascent Soul realm, and monks cannot take their lives and reincarnate twice. This is a limitation of heaven. Although Legend has it that there is a supreme spiritual object that can eliminate the limit of heaven, but the world has never even heard of what that spiritual object is.
Master Lin Qinghan explained to his disciples the mystery of the Ning Yuan Purple Mansion Realm and the significance of its cultivation, in order to compare the differences in the Taoist cultivation systems of the two eras.
Lu Cheng listened very attentively on the side. Compared with the Tongxuan Realm absorbing the true breath of heaven and earth, the Dingzhang Great World opening up the Condensing Purple Mansion Realm, and the direct cultivation of Jindan in the previous era, the three ways The advantages and disadvantages of legal systems.
“If I were asked to choose again, I would still choose to practice the Taoism of Tongxuan Realm. Although the Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation is extremely heavy, if I bravely and diligently pursue the Taoism, the cultivation of the Condensation Purple Mansion Realm can be done. The mana has been greatly improved, but the amount of savings is inferior to that of Taofatei from the Mysterious Realm. If there are too many, this will inevitably affect subsequent practice. Crossing a big realm and directly cultivating the golden elixir is the most suitable cultivation method for genius monks. Although I am confident that I can still reach the first level of elixir, I may not be able to achieve the current level of cultivation. 'Bajiu Cave really got the Taoist elixir'
Just like what Fairy Lin said, does it mean that after Yuanshen monks ascend to the upper realm, they no longer need to practice? Impossible. ”
By elaborating on the similarities and differences between ancient and modern Taoist systems, the purpose and significance of practicing the Zifu realm is explained to the disciples.
Although it is for the purpose of fishing for spiritual stones and there are few lectures, But Master Lin Qinghan still taught his disciples carefully, and he didn't deal with it, but Lu Cheng listened. I also felt that I had gained a lot.
This lecture lasted for three days before it ended.
There is a supply of spiritual tea and spiritual fruit in Jiuxia Peak Cave. If you have anything to do, you can do it. Go down the mountain first, but Master will not tell you again.
"Master also intended to beat us this time. Senior brother, you may not have noticed that Yan Yingqiu, Sikong Bo and the others turned pale at the time. Fortunately, Lao Lan and I didn't commit anything that would make Master want to kill. Big mistake."
After the sermon, Lan Daoquan still followed Lu Cheng, and the two left Jiuxia Peak together, and after talking for a while, they separated.
......
These days, the earth dragon is turning over, and there is nothing going on in the mine.
Lu Cheng was enjoying his leisure time, stealing the sixth-order spiritual energy and spiritual energy in his cave, studying Taoism and refining the divine secrets.
Lu Cheng deduced it many times and concluded that there should be no problem with this set of exercises itself, but the difficulty of the practice and the counterattack of the inner demons were not normal at all.
To be sure, if ordinary monks in the same realm practice, one will die one by one, or one pair will die with another. If a hundred monks practice, there may be only one monk who can survive until he goes crazy.
What is the reason that makes the inner demon fight back so violently?
Lu Cheng couldn't think of the reason for a moment. In terms of self-control, Lu Cheng felt that he had probably done better than most righteous monks after two hundred years of practicing Taoism.
On this day, a fellow monk suddenly visited unexpectedly.
Lu Cheng was meditating on the altar and practicing Qi. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and a look of surprise flashed across his face.
"Steward Tie, may I ask if Steward Tie is in the house?"
This is the voice of a middle-aged man, who is also Lucheng's colleague in the underground mines.
Lu Cheng performed the exercises unhurriedly, absorbed the energy, and completed the last few cycles of the heaven and earth. Then he pressed down with both hands. The spiritual energy in the entire cave that was originally filled to the extreme suddenly spread out in five magic circles all around. Under the influence, it was continuously lowered and suppressed.
“Manager Tie, are you in the house? I am Xia Bin!”
"Senior Brother Xia, I was doing my work and sitting in seclusion, but I was too slow to wait. I wonder what Senior Brother Xia wants from me?"
Communicating with a real monk with deep foundation like Lin Qinghan would be of some benefit to Lu Cheng. , for monks in the realm of Qi training, Lu Cheng talked to them as if he was waiting for them to spit out each word, and even if he took the initiative to adapt, it would be uncomfortable.
"Haha, it turns out that Junior Brother Tie is in the mansion. I thought that Junior Brother was not here. I wonder if Junior Brother can be put in for a brief explanation?"
It seems that there is indeed something wrong with this person. Normal monks can hear it. When a person is sitting in a seclusion to practice, he will retreat. After all, if he has to wait, he will have to wait for several hours, and in many cases he will not be put into the house.
Hearing this, Lu Cheng meditated for another hour, and then sensed that the other party had indeed not left outside, so he finally opened the ban and invited him to enter.
"Suck, woo. Junior Brother Tie, there is so pure spiritual energy in this cave. No wonder Junior Brother is so focused on cultivating that he almost doesn't want to go out easily." Rina is taciturn With such a look, he finally couldn't help but said:
"Haha, the thing is like this, Junior Brother Tie must also know that the Earth Dragon Turn has stopped in the past few days, and even the mineral veins have stopped, but the Earth Dragon Turn is very important to mortals and A monk with low magic power It’s dangerous, but it’s not that dangerous for us, and every time the earth dragon turns over, it will bring up some spiritual treasures from deep underground. I wonder if junior brother is interested?”
It turns out that Xia Bin is interested in this? I came here to invite Lu Cheng to go underground to look for the spiritual mineral treasures brought up by the earth dragon. Although there are some dangers, if the opportunity comes and they pick up a few high-level spiritual minerals, for them, they can exchange for sects in the future. The Foundation Establishment Pill is even more certain.
In this case, it’s no wonder that Xia Bin could hold back his temper and invited him repeatedly. As a rare master disciple among underground mine stewards, Lu Cheng was taciturn and dedicated to practice. In the eyes of other mine stewards, he certainly had a good reputation. After all, he is a disciple of the master.
If you can invite him to join, it will definitely greatly improve the safety and even benefits of this exploration.
Under normal circumstances, Lu Cheng would have no interest in the exploration of this kind of Qi-training monk, but during this period of time he was in trouble practicing the God-Refining Art. At this moment, what Xia Bin said, There was a faint movement in my heart.
