On the first day of practice, Wei Yuan felt that he could no longer practice. He was constantly being stared at by the full moon, and he would be stuck in and out of concentration every time he took a breath. If he continued to practice like this, he might go crazy. However,
Immediately Wei Yuan discovered that it was said that the entire spirit gathering formation on the mountain was out of order. More than a dozen monks from Tiangong Hall and Tianji Hall came to inspect and repair everything. It was said that it took less than ten days and a half to complete the repairs.
Can't be repaired.
After Wei Yuan heard the news, he understood that the drying up of the spiritual veins was due to a malfunction in the spirit gathering array.
Being unable to practice for the time being, Wei Yuan planned to go to Zhansi Hall to borrow some cultivation tips on the Taoist realm to read. Before he left the house, two young Taoists came to his cave and were summoned by the Master of the Palace of Taoism.
These two Taoists looked very young, but their cultivation was extremely high, and they were only one step away from the Dharma. They used magic weapons to take Wei Yuan on a cloud ride, and after a while they arrived at a cliff peak at the edge of the empty valley.
The peak is slender and high, and a hundred feet below is a sea of ​​rolling clouds. The two young Taoists led Wei Yuan all the way to the edge of the cliff and left quietly.
There is a protruding rock on the edge of the cliff, and there is a man sitting on it holding a fishing rod, fishing facing the sea of ​​clouds. He is dressed in commoner clothes and looks extremely ordinary. This kind of return to nature makes him look like he is not an ordinary person at first glance.
Although he did not feel the slightest fluctuation of momentum or immortal power, Wei Yuan was so nervous that it was difficult to breathe. He came behind the man and said respectfully: "Wei Yuan has met the Immortal Lord!"
Pei Tinghai, one of the two immortal kings of Taichu Palace, was the pillar of Taichu Palace when the palace owner had been hiding from the world for many years.
Pei Tinghai did not look back and said leisurely: "Wei Yuan, I heard that you once asked when you entered the palace: The path to immortality is so magical, why do people still starve to death in the mortal world? Do you have an answer to this question now?"
Wei Yuan shook his head: "No, I just know a little bit about it."
Pei Tinghai did not ask further questions, but said: "I just have three questions, please listen. One, after cultivating oneself, entering the immortal gate, and gaining great power. Why do you still need to study history?"
In fact, Wei Yuan has thought about this question many times. Not only Wei Yuan, but also most young monks will have this question when they first enter Taichu Palace. History takes up three of the seven courses taught in the centralized teaching. Although the Zhigu Sect does not participate in the centralized
Teaching, but history is also required to be learned in the teaching of each temple, and it is indispensable. Many disciples will inevitably have doubts. Reading history will not increase the slightest spiritual power, nor will it add a few Taoist skills.
What does this thing do?
"Second question, you have been to the Liao region, so you know what the heaven and earth look like there. The so-called Tao follows nature, and the heaven and earth will last forever, which makes sense. But if people want to survive, they must conquer the sky. Then the heaven
Is it wrong, or is the person wrong?”
"The last question is, the flying boat is traveling on the abyss and is about to crash. The only way to cross the abyss is to throw half of the people on the boat overboard. Who deserves to live and who deserves to die?"
Wei Yuan had some ideas about the first question, but he had never heard of the latter two questions, let alone answered them. He didn't even have any ideas. Especially for the last question, there was no preset, which meant that half of the people had to be chosen.
Death, how do you answer this?
After speaking the three questions, Pei Tinghai said: "You can choose any of these three questions to ask me."
Wei Yuan thought for a moment and decided to ask why he wanted to study history. At least he still had some ideas for this question. When Xianjun answered it, he could corroborate his own ideas, which would be the most rewarding.
Pei Tinghai said: "In fact, for most monks, reading history is really useless."
Wei Yuan was surprised, he did not expect this answer.
But Pei Tinghai said again: "However, if you have cultivated Yujing and achieved the world of mind, then reading history will be useful. When the human king established Dali, the immortal king was the human king, and the human king was the immortal king. In the early days of Dali,
Everyone who was emperor was abdicated. After a hundred thousand years of ups and downs, countless dynasties rose and fell. Dali eventually turned into a big soup, which was divided into nine kingdoms and princes. The emperor gradually became more and more in vain. Step into
In the Immortal Sect, every move will involve many causes and effects, and every decision will lead to countless people living or dying. And great power will not only affect the present and future, but also affect the past."
"When you read history, at least you will know how to deal with things like foreign relatives interfering in politics, eunuchs monopolizing power, vassal towns separatist rule, and Qing Dynasty disrupting the country."
Wei Yuan deeply felt the teaching, but always felt that there was something in Pei Tinghai's words, but at this time he could not feel the deep meaning.
The fishing rod in Pei Tinghai's hand suddenly shook, and then bent into a half-moon shape. He was obviously struggling to hold the fishing rod, as if there was a big fish struggling desperately in the sea of ​​clouds.
But Wei Yuan clearly saw that there was no fishing line on the rod.
Pei Tinghai tried his best several times, and suddenly the fishing rod was raised high, and a dead branch flew out from the sea of ​​clouds and fell into his hand. Pei Tinghai looked at the dead branch, which was about a foot long, and smiled slightly.
Said: "The branch of the ancient laurel fairy tree is quite suitable for you. It just so happens that you are number one in the big exam. There is nothing to reward. I will give you this branch to see if you can feed me."
Pei Tinghai threw it casually, and the branch sank into Weiyuan's sea of ​​consciousness, and then stuck on the ground beside Jade Mountain.
Before Wei Yuan had time to say thanks, he suddenly felt some movement in the book recording the list of meritorious service in his arms, as if some important news had come in. But at this time, in the presence of the Immortal Lord, Wei Yuan naturally would not take it out to read.
After catching the branches of the fairy tree, Pei Tinghai put down the fishing rod, stood up and walked to the jade basin next to him, and washed his hands with the water in the basin. His hands were originally ordinary, but after washing them in the basin, they suddenly became all wet.
It's blood, and the clear water in the jade basin also turns bright red!
Wei Yuan was shocked, and for a moment he even had the urge to turn around and run away. Fortunately, he had been calm since he was young and did not show any abnormalities in his demeanor.
Pei Tinghai had obviously noticed Wei Yuan's thoughts, and said with a smile: "There is no one in the fishing world who doesn't have blood on his hands? It's impossible to get less blood on his hands, it's just someone else's blood."
Pei Tinghai washed his hands for a long time. The water in the basin became redder and redder, but the blood on his hands was not reduced at all. Finally, he picked up the square towel next to him and wiped his hands. The cloth was suddenly covered with dazzling blood, but his
My hands are finally clean.
Pei Tinghai put down the scarf and said: "Xuan Yue has staked his fortune and life on you, and you have indeed not let him down. Dao Ji has an extraordinary appearance. The palace should also be tilted. Let's do this.
I give you two options, you can choose according to your heart.
One: I will give you a million meritorious deeds in the palace to pay for all your cultivation needs. In the next ten years, you will devote yourself to cultivation in the palace, and I will specially allocate a mountain peak for you to practice until you reach the realm of rebirth. That's it. Then we'll talk about going down the mountain to practice." Before Pei Tinghai finished speaking, Wei Yuan said: "Disciple, choose the second option!"
Pei Tinghai asked with great interest: "Why have you made a decision before you even heard me explain what the second item is?"
Wei Yuan said: "Since the disciple has formed the foundation of Taoism, he should make a difference and give back to the world. Although the first item is good, if he has not left the mountain for ten years, what is the difference between him and a rice insect? The disciple has already seen the barbarians in the Liao region in the big exam. , although it is not yet possible to expand territory, but I am confident that I can also deal with it. Therefore, if the disciple wants to participate in the experience related to the alien race, at least he can know the enemy after more experience. It would be even better if he can use the alien race to sharpen his blade. !”
Pei Tinghai smiled and said: "It's really rare for you to have such a spirit. Recently, there are a few things suitable for you to do, but I still have to consider which one to give to you. You go back and practice on your own first. Someone will let you know when the time is right."
The two young Taoists appeared again and took Wei Yuan back to his residence.
After Wei Yuan left, Pei Tinghai walked slowly to the stone table and sat down. There was a chessboard on the stone table, with an endgame on it. Pei Tinghai picked up a piece, pondered for a long time, and finally chose a place to gently put it down. , muttering to himself: "If this thing falls, you can't eat it or spit it out. You should be able to bring that thing back, right?"
After a piece fell, he stopped moving and just looked at the chess game and meditated.
After an unknown amount of time, a young Taoist priest wearing a black Taoist robe suddenly appeared on the top of the mountain. He stood next to Pei Tinghai and said, "The Western Jin Dynasty sent an envoy over. They just left the capital and wanted to discuss Wei Yuan's crimes. "
Pei Tinghai said calmly: "If you want to find trouble, just one general is not enough. You have to have two admirals. It would be interesting to have a prince or something like that. Lu Ming is really getting more and more stingy, that's all. Even small matters require messengers to come over."
"How should this matter be handled?"
"Let Yanshi help the envoy to deal with natural and man-made disasters. The envoy disappeared halfway for no reason. If Lu Ming is not an old fool, he should know what to do."
The young Taoist hesitated and said: "Is the cost of transshipment too high? How about I go and throw them all into the East China Sea to ensure that the cause and effect are clean."
The corners of Pei Tinghai's mouth turned up slightly, showing a faint smile, and said: "There is no price this time."
The young Taoist bowed and disappeared.
A moment later, in the simple courtyard, the young Taoist looked at the mysterious Taoist priest who had disappeared out of thin air, thoughtfully, then stretched out his two fingers to hold the lid of the tea bowl, and gently turned it. It was indeed light.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Liangli, come and see me."
After a while, Ji Liuli walked into the small courtyard, saluted and asked, "What does the Patriarch want from me? Is there another complaint? Who doesn't want to live this time? Is it Xu Henshui?"
True Lord Yanshi laughed and scolded: "I only think about revenge and never know how to convince others with virtue."
Ji Liuli said: "I am full of martial virtue, don't I also use my virtue to convince others?"
Zhenjun Yanshi felt a headache and scolded: "Don't hang out with those people from Tianqing Palace in the future! I just learned to talk fast!"
Ji Liuli stuck out his tongue, but didn't dare to say "I've learned how to fight".
True Lord Yanshi snorted and said: "I am in a good mood today. Come on, follow me to Xuan Yue for tea!"
Ji Liuli had a strange expression on his face: "Drinking tea? Where can he find any good tea?" She knew that her ancestor was a tea addict and was extremely picky, and would never drink even a drop of it.
Zhenjun Yanshi immediately realized: "If you don't tell me, I almost forgot and went to find Xuan Yue. You go to the third row of the room and get a box of tea, and we will go find Xuan Yue for tea!"
"You need to bring your own tea leaves when you want to drink tea with him? Your old man's teas are all exquisite!" Ji Liuli was even more surprised.
Yanshi Zhenjun said: "The important thing is to find Xuan Yue, not to drink tea. Oh, drinking tea is also important. Well, in this way, when we get to Xuan Yue's place later, you will make tea, and then sprinkle two tea leaves on the ground.
"
Ji Liuli was surprised again. A sip of these immortal teas can enhance understanding, uplift the foundation, and have some transport effects. They cannot be bought with immortal silver, nor can they be exchanged for heavenly skills! He deliberately dropped two pieces on the ground.
?
Zhenjun Yanshi snorted and said, "Look at your worthless look. I just want Xuan Yue to look at me. I won't even pick up two pieces of immortal tea if they fall! I am an old man with all my skills. If you
Ken…”
As soon as the young Taoist started preaching, Ji Liuli disappeared and went into the house to get some tea.
Chapter completed!
