Chapter 17: The Theory of the 17th Sect
“I hope I can have five or six points of immortal bones.”
Zhou Ming silently made a wish in his heart, but his face was calm, not wanting to give himself Nephew any pressure.
Zhou Qingren was in the sunlight. The smoke from the incense burner on his desk, together with the incense of ink from the books piled on the bookshelves, surrounded him one by one, making him seem to be sitting in a scroll, giving him a kind of brilliance. Eye-catching.
He turned his eyes and could see his uncle's thoughts, but he would not say much at this time. He just said: "When you find the immortal bones, refine them and truly change your body."
"If nothing else,"
Zhou Qing smiled and said, "If you pass this level, you can add twenty to thirty years to your life."
Hearing this After saying this, Zhou Ming tapped his nephew with his hand and scolded with a smile: "You are thinking about longevity at a young age?"
"I can use it, but I can't live without it."
Zhou Qing replied with a deliberately straight face.
"You kid,"
Zhou Ming laughed again when he saw this.
In the yard, Qiuxiang was wearing a cotton skirt with fine lines and thin leaves, lowering her head and playing with a moss plum. The colorful branches on the plum trees shed wisps of sunlight, reflecting the dense moss covering the flowers. There are also moss whiskers hanging between the branches, two or three inches long, with small green threads hanging down, swaying in the wind.
She took care of it very seriously, and there was a fine layer of fragrant sweat on her forehead, but she continued as if she didn't realize it. Because she knew that her master had been very fond of this kind of flowers and plants over the years.
At this moment, laughter came from the room, which made Qiuxiang's hand pause.
She stopped for the first time and stood up, listening to the cheerful and relaxed laughter in her ears, and a smile appeared on her face unconsciously.
During this period of time, about a month or so, my master laughed more often than in the past few years.
Young Master Qing is becoming more and more promising, and Master is becoming more and more energetic.
Qiuxiang listened for a while and continued to play with the rare tsemata. She rarely hummed a ditty, feeling warm from the sunshine shining on her body.
In the study, the conversation continued, and Zhou Qing thought of something again and said: "Uncle, what should I do if I don't want to develop in the Zhou clan and want to join the sect in the future?"
"Don't want to develop in the clan?"
Zhou Ming was stunned for a moment, then understood and agreed.
Strictly speaking, my nephew is not a member of the Hengnan Zhou clan, and he does not have a strong connection in the clan. It will be much harder for him to rise to the top in the Hengnan Zhou clan than for others.
It is better to find an opportunity to join the sect and show off your ambitions.
This is not to say that large sects do not have intricate relationships. In fact, there are large and small aristocratic families in each sect. It's just that compared to families, sects are more tolerant and can provide more opportunities.
Zhou Ming thought and said: "It is not easy to become a sect. Some people in the clan have great supernatural powers and can recommend their descendants to directly enter the sect."
"Your uncle does not have this ability. This is The road is hopeless."
"Other self-recommendations, those who are lucky enough to be favored by others, and enter the sect are all special cases."
Speaking of this, he said. Looking at the sunlight coming in from outside, it was golden, like a hanging bronze mirror. It seemed that the past was reflected in it. Thinking of the past, he said: "When the disciples of the clan enter the sect, most of them choose to participate in the Jingchen Dharma Assembly."
Zhou Qing's eyes flashed, "Jingchen Dharma Assembly?"
"Yes, Jingchen Dharma Assembly in Jingchen Mountain." Zhou Ming took a slight breath and said: "Along with many families including the Hengnan Zhou family, the children of the family who are not willing to develop in the family often participate. See if you can enter a sect that satisfies you at the ceremony. "Back then, your mother participated in the Jingchen ceremony and was selected by the Lingguan sect. She also met your father on Jingchen Mountain."
Zhou Qing said nothing. He had long lost his impression of the so-called parents of this body and only had one concept left.
Zhou Ming didn’t want to bring up this topic. He quickly talked about the Jingchen Dharma Assembly again and said: "At the Dharma Assembly, there will be many sects. Different sects may have their own unique Methods of selecting people. However, the qualifications are the most basic and important for any sect to select people.”
“You want to participate in the Jingchen Dharma Conference, but you can’t do it now.”
"I know."
Zhou Qing nodded, hiding the strange color in his eyes.
To participate in the upcoming Jingchen Dharma Ceremony, you are indeed not qualified. At the very least, you must practice marrow cleansing to perfection.
Of course, marrow cleansing and Dzogchen are only a prerequisite for participating in the Dharma conference. If you want to really participate in the Dharma conference, you must still be functioning in the clan. After all, the number of places for each family to participate in the Dharma assembly is limited, and it is impossible to participate whenever you want, and participation is usually based on merit.
In the last life, I was confused by Guan Ping and directly followed the path of secular cultivation. I practiced Taoism first and then the Dharma. I had no chance to participate in the Jingchen Dharma Conference.
Later, after the rise of Zhou Luoyun, he crowned the entire Zhou family in Hengnan. I was an official at the time and was extremely bored, so I sorted out the other party's methods. I still remember clearly that Zhou Luoyun made a splash at the next Jingchen Dharma Conference and entered the Shangxuanmen Zhenyi Sect. This was a very crucial step.
Zhou Qing glanced at the sickly-looking uncle opposite him. Just for him, he had to attend the Jingchen Dharma Ceremony.
“Shangxuanmen.”
Zhou Qing set his sights on Shangxuanmen. At the upcoming Jingchen Dharma Assembly, he didn’t know who else besides the Zhenyi Sect would be. ?
When you go to Xuanmen, how do you select your disciples at the Dharma gathering?
Zhou Qing talked for a while in the study room before leaving. He didn't even take his maid Suyun with him, and returned to his mansion alone to prepare for practice.
As he steps into the realm of marrow washing, the reaction of Zhou Luoyun, who has always been hostile to him, is unknown. Who knows what unknown methods the other party will adopt.
Living alone, there are fewer worries.
Zhou Qing opened the door and entered a quiet room.
There is a large painting hanging on the front of the room, depicting an immortal riding a crane and misty clouds. There is a jade table under the painting, and a pair of purple clay stove bottles are placed on the jade table. On the other side, there is a whisk and a jade handle.
At this time, the windows were closed, and the skylight outside was blocked. Only the remaining colors entered, giving it a washed clarity.
Zhou Qing turned around first, and after making sure everything was okay, he sat down on the futon in front of the jade table. He sank slightly, and there was a mist of jade light on his forehead.
In just a moment, he sat down and began to visualize the marrow washing picture in the "Yuanhuang Dragon Transformation Picture", observing the moon and shaking the scales.
Even though it is daytime outside and the sun is just right, when Zhou Qing visualizes this picture of marrow cleansing, wisps of cold color suddenly hang down from all sides, the water clouds are like a big mat, and the moonlight reflects, filling the air with pure white. .
Gradually, Zhou Qing found that his body was missing bit by bit, replaced by a dragon that had half of its body sticking out of the water.
Facing the bright moon in the sky, it exhales and inhales, and the dragon scales on its body also tremble, neither fast nor slow, just right. It seems that the moonlight that can keep shining down shakes into the water, blends into the waves, and finally turns into a lake. cool color.
It is quite difficult to visualize this marrow cleansing diagram, but Zhou Qing is not only a human being of three generations, but also born with two spirits, so he is very comfortable in mastering this method.
“Another bone.”
After Zhou Qing finished practicing one bone, his inner energy turned around and wrapped around the other bone, seeping in through the gaps in the bone. He saw the bone marrow inside. , slightly surprised.
