Chapter 52 Whether it is true or not (it is very important to pursue reading today)
The beginning of my practice in Tianchi Mountain seems to be very different from what I imagined.
However, Xu Heng had a temperament that was very tolerant of loneliness, and he had a tight time limit of ninety-nine and eighty-one days, so he really dove into the practice.
It's a pity that his cultivation level has reached the thirty-second level, and his entry is no longer as fast as before.
Xu Heng spent eleven or twelve days practicing this time and reached the threshold of entering the next level. However, after another day of hard work, he failed to successfully break through and finally came out.
His original intention was to take a nap for half a day, practice spells, study swordsmanship, and then start practicing again, but when he calmed down, he thought: "The so-called humility and tranquility of the mind, the Tao will come naturally, and it is good to be diligent and brave. , but if you are too eager, you will inevitably lose the true nature of practice. I have been a little unsteady in the past ten days."
"That's all, why not really take a day off, maybe you can gain something instead."
Thinking of this, Xu Heng realized that after arriving, he actually stayed in the cave for twelve or three days without even leaving the gate, let alone knowing anything about Tianchi Mountain.
He finally became a little curious and thought: "Master Qiao just taught me how to live a good life and practice. He didn't forbid me to move around at will. Why don't I go for a walk in the mountains."
Xu Heng was not one to hesitate. He just did what he thought and went straight out of the cave.
Today is a beautiful day, the sky is clear and the air is clear. The sunlight shines all over the continuous snow-capped mountains. It is reflected by the ice and snow, which is quite dazzling. Xu Heng couldn't help but squint his eyes. Fortunately, he was pregnant with Qi, so he didn't get dizzy due to the illumination.
He adjusted for a while, then opened his eyes again. At this moment, he looked around and saw the boundless snow-capped mountains stretching to the edge of the world. He really felt a sense of openness in his chest.
Xu Heng felt even more that his choice was good. When he was thinking about where to go, he suddenly heard a voice that sounded like a greeting in the distance.
Following the sound, there were indeed two figures approaching, a man and a woman. The man looked like a young man, dressed in brocade and fine clothes, and was very noble. The woman was also in her late teens, but her appearance was more heroic.
When the two of them got closer, they could see Xu Heng's appearance clearly. The young man was a little surprised and couldn't help but hesitate in what he was about to say.
On the other hand, although the woman's eyes were brightened, she still bowed generously and said, "But Junior Brother Xu, who is under Uncle Qiao's sect?"
Xu Heng raised his eyebrows and replied, "Exactly. Does this senior sister recognize me?"
"I don't know." The woman said with a smile: "But you look at me, and recently I have only heard in the mountains that only Master Qiao has accepted a good disciple, so it is not difficult to guess."
"Besides, I decorated your yard. Do you think it's satisfactory for me, junior brother, to live in it?"
"That's it." Xu Heng was slightly surprised and replied: "Thank you, senior sister, but I find it very satisfying."
"That's perfect, and it won't be in vain for my hard work."
This woman's manners were generous and unconventional. It was hard not to be fond of her. Xu Heng cupped her hand and asked, "I'm new here, but I haven't asked my senior brother or sister yet. What do you call me?"
The man was speechless at first, but when Xu Heng took him with him, he cupped his hands and said, "My name is Zong Jin, and I am a disciple of Master He."
The woman nodded slightly and continued: "My name is Hua Feihua, and I am also a disciple of Master He."
"Oh." Xu Heng responded: "It turns out it's Senior Brother Zong and Senior Sister Hua..." Seeing Xu Heng's appearance, Hua Feihua knew that he still didn't know much about the situation in the sect. She couldn't help covering her mouth and smiled, and said: "Junior Brother Xu is Master Qiao. As my first disciple, I don’t have a contract with the same sect, so I guess I don’t know much about the situation in the sect. If you have any questions, you can feel free to ask us.”
Xu Heng's eyes lit up slightly, and he asked without being polite, "I don't know yet, how many senior uncles there are in the sect, senior sister, can you teach me, so that I won't be ignorant and clash with the elders."
Xu Heng actually knew that the Xuanwei Sect was a sect where master and apprentice taught each other and the relationship between master and apprentice was the basis, but he really lacked a lot of understanding about the details of the sect.
"You should know this indeed." Hua Feihua said: "Junior brother, do you know the origin of our Tianchi Xuanwei sect?"
Xu Heng guessed: "Senior sister is referring to the incident of breaking out from the Taiguang faction?"
"Oh?" Hua Feihua said in surprise: "Since junior brother knows, I don't need to talk nonsense anymore."
"Our Tianchi Xuanwei sect was inherited by one master. There are eight people in our master's generation. They all followed our master to practice Taoism when he was still in Taiguang."
Only then did Xu Heng understand that Qiao Cheng was the third disciple of his master, and He Hong, the mentor of Zong and Hua, was the fifth disciple. Apart from them, there were five other six master uncles still alive, and their disciples also had their own disciples. There are many disciples studying Taoism.
There are very few people like Qiao Cheng who have only accepted Xu Heng as a disciple until today.
Speaking of this, Hua Feihua was quite envious and said: "Junior brother is the only one under Master Qiao's sect up to now. I think he will be able to get the true inheritance sooner or later, but it's not like us..."
At this point, Hua Feihua shook her head and stopped talking. Xu Heng just smiled and did not respond.
Xuanwei Sect is a sect where master and apprentice are taught by master and apprentice. As long as one becomes a master, there is no difference between the outer sect and the inner sect.
But in fact, regardless of the differences between masters and disciples, even the same disciples have different talents, higher and lower levels of understanding, and even different temperaments. Not everyone can practice the superior Taoism. It is obviously unrealistic for all disciples to treat them equally. of.
It is said that some cultivation sects also distinguish true disciples from ordinary disciples. Only those who are talented enough, or have built a superior Taoist foundation, or have cultivated the Samadhi Fire... In short, they must be extraordinary Taoist geniuses to be classified as True biography.
Although Xuanwei does not have this kind of system, it is natural that there will be differences between fellow sects whether they have received the true inheritance or not.
Xu Heng did not expect that he would be the only one under Qiao Cheng's sect now, but he believed that if he could obtain the true inheritance, it would not be for this reason, but this was not something that needed to be said.
Hua Feihua also realized that she had made a mistake, but she was frank. Shi Shiran apologized, changed the subject, chatted with Xu Heng for a while, and then asked: "Junior brother, this is the first time that I have come out to the mountains. Is it the first time?" Are you going to find Uncle Qiao?"
In fact, Xu Heng didn't even know where Qiao Cheng was, so he just shook his head and said, "I practice meditation and calm my mind, so I came out for a leisurely walk, that's all."
"Oh?" Hua Feihua's eyes lit up, "In that case, Senior Brother Zong and I are about to go to the Dharma Conference. Junior Brother, why don't we go together?"
Xu Heng was about to refuse, but Hua Feihua went on to say that several of his classmates would go to the meeting, and Xu Heng could go along with them to take a picture.
He thought that when he came to the mountains, he would never be a self-proclaimed person. It was always good to get to know his fellow disciples, so he nodded and agreed.
