Taihao Gold Medal

Chapter 3 Preaching and teaching, the ceremony of apprenticeship

"The most important point of practicing qi is to be full of energy and solidify the five internal organs. If the body is deficient in energy and the five internal organs are empty, do you still want to practice Taoism?"

In a cave of foundation-building monks in Jinhong Valley, the layout is elegant and quiet with blue bricks and jade walls. There are golden and red carps swimming and breathing in the clear lotus pond placed in the mansion.

Because he has just accepted six registered disciples, Yin Tianchou, a middle-aged Taoist with a sharp temperament, is conducting his first preaching and teaching.

When he said this sentence, he seemed to stare at a handsome disciple on the side.

This scene was seen by Zhang Lie who was sitting on the futon below.

He knew that the person being stared at by the master was Yin Yifei, but he didn't pay attention to the inside story, but immersed himself in the truth told by the master.

The rich second generation are relatively unwilling to endure hardships and sufferings. This is a common problem in any civilization in any world, even in the world of cultivating immortals.

The so-called continuous efforts of several generations, although a few objectively exist, but in most cases, it is impossible.It is human nature to love leisure and hate work.

"Practice swordsmanship, you can understand how to control the body and concentrate the spirit, which is of great benefit in practicing the Dao."

"The key to sword practice is that the body is like a swimming dragon, and it must not be stagnant; after a long period of practice, the body and the sword, the sword and the gods, and there are swords everywhere where there is no sword; if you can reach this state with your body and understand this meaning with your heart, then It's close."

When explaining this truth, Yin Tianchou raised his breath a little, and a stream of pure magic power gushed out from his dantian.

The flying sword behind him flew out of its sheath in Qiang Ran, and the middle-aged Taoist leapt forward, the sword light flashed like a dragon swimming in the crowd, it turned out that it was really a human and a flying sword.

The flying sword pierces through the air and turns into a blazing flame dragon, and Taoist Qisha is in the middle of it as if he is relying on the wind to guard against the wind. Between the vertical and horizontal sword energy, it is suddenly difficult to distinguish the gap between the sword light and the figure.

Accompanied by a clear howl, the figure of Taoist Seven Fiends in the flames suddenly divided into nine, and nine spinning fire lotuses danced and shuttled around the sword-qi flame dragon, the imposing manner and sword pressure were extremely prominent.

This scene brought a great spiritual impact to the new disciples present, so they aroused yearning for swordsmanship and expectations for cultivation.

Swordsmanship is also one of the hundred arts of cultivating immortals, but it is not as mainstream as alchemy, utensil making, talisman drawing, and formation.

But Yin Tianchou is a monk who is good at swordsmanship. The meeting gift he gave to his six disciples was six middle-grade second-grade flying swords. Obviously, he will let them inherit what he has learned in the future.

"If you can really cultivate the fierce swordsmanship like Master, and strengthen your muscles and bones to concentrate your spirit, it will obviously be of great benefit to your cultivation."

"It's just that the soldiers are fierce and dangerous. If you cultivate too powerful swordsmanship, you will inevitably want to use it. If you provoke a monk whose cultivation base is much higher than yourself, or even a big realm higher than yourself, no matter how strong your swordsmanship is, you will not be immune. It is very easy. Falling into death, this is also the reason why swordsmanship is not as good as mainstream cultivating arts."

Such a thought flashed through his mind, but Zhang Lie was still like the other disciples present, staring at the master who looked like a dragon swimming with bright eyes, showing admiration.

Taoist Yin Tianchou of the Seven Shamans is a man of great talent and talent, so it is not difficult to worship such a master.

However, Yin Tianchou is more willing to immerse himself in his own cultivation than to teach his disciples.

Therefore, apart from the first lesson of the introductory course, the elder sister Li Manmei taught the lessons on behalf of the teacher for most of the time, especially the enlightenment of those who are new to the practice, it is indeed extremely complicated and trivial, and there is no need to teach The basic monks followed and completed.

Although Yin Yifei, the only son of master Yin Tianchou, was also taught under his seat, he did not worship under his own father's sect, but under the sect of an alchemy master in the foundation-building realm of the sect, so that he could As the head of the two sects, he also has a larger and deeper network of contacts in the sect.

Even the reason why Yin Tianchou recruited so many disciples was because he didn't want to pave the way for his son.

Among these disciples, Zhang Lie was the first to understand this point, but he didn't mind: You can't ask others to treat you well without expecting anything in return.

As time progresses, the temple of teaching career.

After listening to a lecture given by a sect deacon, Zhang Lie in Taoist robe kept chanting silently and ran out quickly.

There are not a few monks like him. The deacon of the sect who is teaching today has made a lot of achievements in the field of elixir identification and is willing to share some valuable experience.

However, what Zhang Lie recited silently at this moment was not the experience imparted by the deacon, but the scriptures of the Taihao Gold Seal Disha Sword engraved on the stone slab in the Dao Hall.

He didn't dare to go to Rubbing and research carelessly. Although these scriptures and slabs have been placed here for nearly a hundred years, Zhang Lie still can't be sure that there must be no high-level sect paying attention to this place, so he only dared to use the courses taught publicly as the basis. As a cover, memorize some by rote every time I go, and then write it down silently after returning to my residence.

Fortunately, the monk's memory is far better than that of ordinary people, and he has recited half of the Earth Sha Sword Sutra completely, which is definitely not a useless effort.

Read the book a hundred times, the meaning will come out by itself.Although it is much easier for Zhang Lie to read these ancient seal characters than the monks in this world, it also requires a long time of hard work and research, and it cannot be read directly without barriers.

In other words, even if scholars from the earth who specialize in the study of ancient characters are tied up to read and translate the Disha Sword Sutra, they have to study and read word by word every day, which is a big project in itself.

"I don't insist on understanding, first recite the entire Sword Sutra completely, so that it can be memorized from front to back, and now I will practice the Chilian Secret Scroll to lay the foundation, and the days to come will be long."

While thinking about it like this, the sky suddenly darkened and it rained heavily. Except for the disciples who had practiced the water-dispelling method, the other disciples of the Golden Rainbow Valley Sect all scattered like birds and beasts, and so did Zhang Lie.

Drenched all over, he returned to the small courtyard he had allocated in the sect. After entering the room, Zhang Lie found that the little old man Zhang Chuanli was keeping accounts with a sad face.

"What's wrong with fourth uncle? What troubled you so much?" Although Zhang Lie wanted to return to the room and write down the Disha Sword Sutra silently, he couldn't pretend that he hadn't seen it, so he stepped forward and asked.

"I'm thinking about what gift to give to Taoist Master Qisha as a teacher. Although you have already become a teacher, Yuan Lie, you will probably be taught by Taoist Master Qisha for the rest of your life. Daoist Qisha is so generous. As a meeting gift, I just sent a second-level middle-grade flying sword, so we must not dare to be too shabby as a teacher apprentice ceremony."

Although he knew it was true, the little old man still felt as if he was cutting flesh when he thought of the spirit stone he was about to take out in large sums.

Pursuing the Tao and cultivating immortals, if you want to achieve something, you must have the four requirements of "law, wealth, companionship and land". Without wealth, it is not enough to cultivate the Tao.

In particular, Zhang Chuanli is very clear that although Zhang Lie has a special cultivation talent, this special physique is of no help in the process of mana accumulation. Shi should be used sparingly.

The two uncles and nephews came all the way from the southern region, and the patriarch Zhang Xiangshen took out 600 yuan of spirit stones in one breath, but this is the cost of the next ten years, and it will cost a lot to maintain Zhang Lie's cultivation progress along the way .

But for a second-tier middle-grade flying sword, the starting price is 80 Yuan Lingshi.The gift of apprenticeship cannot be lower than this price.

"Okay, Yuan Lie, go inside and practice. You don't need to worry about these things. Fourth Uncle will take care of them properly, and will definitely not make you look bad in front of your teacher and fellow disciples."

"Fourth Uncle, I am now a registered disciple of the sect, and I have a monthly offering of ten low-grade spirit stones, and I also have ten low-grade spirit stones as compensation for me to test the skills for the red-browed patriarch."

The Zongmen monthly offering of Jinhonggu outer disciples is five low-grade spirit stones, the Zongmen monthly offering of inner disciples and registered disciples is ten low-grade spirit stones, and the Zongmen monthly offering of true disciples is 20 yuan of low-grade spirit stones.

In addition to the different number of spiritual stones distributed each month, there are also differences in the treatment of other sects in all aspects.

Because Zhang Lie practiced the Purple Heart Dafa created by the red-browed patriarch of the alchemy state, although he was a registered disciple, the treatment on the moon offering spirit stone was the same as that of a real disciple.

"You don't need spirit stones, all you need is good deeds from the sect. You will spend most of your time in the sect cultivating in the sect. Good deeds can be exchanged for spirit stones, but it is not easy to exchange spirit stones for good deeds. The fourth uncle thinks about spirit stones." Way, don’t worry about it.”

Although the fourth uncle Zhang Chuanli is only one generation older than Zhang Lie, he is already in his sixties. In the past ten years, he has married five concubines in a row, and finally gave birth to a son with spiritual roots. Lie came across the sea to complete family tasks and save some cultivation resources for his son.

But after getting along for this period of time, Zhang Chuanli really appreciates the younger generation of the family in front of him. He has tenacity and hard work far beyond his peers. In spite of his lack of cultivation aptitude, the latter can improve his fighting skills at the same level.

A monk with strong fighting skills in the late stage of Qi training is already very valuable to a small family of immortal cultivators. This is also an important reason why the Zhang family will vigorously support Zhang Lie's practice. If you make offerings, you may say that you have formed a good relationship that can be used for a lifetime for future generations.
