Myths and Dharma, starting from Erlang Shen

Chapter 57 The truth about expelling disciples
  "it is good."

After drinking Ji Ren's apprenticeship tea, Zhuge Yuquan said with a smile on his face: "My teacher Zhuge Yuquan, whose Taoist name is Jinxia Zhenren, has accepted three disciples before you. Now you are the fourth one and the only one in my disciples." disciple."

Ji Ren smiled back and thought to himself, you still know there are three more in front of you.

"My teacher has a wide range of knowledge, whether it is astronomy, geography, medical divination, astrology, or strange arts. I know a little bit about it. No matter which one you want to learn, my teacher can give you guidance. But no matter what you choose, it will be in my hands." You always have to learn this set of swordsmanship." As Zhuge Yuquan spoke, he walked to the bookcase and picked up a book, but a look of confusion appeared on his face again. After a while, he put the book down again. He picked up the book next to him, then thought about it, put it down again, and picked up the book next to him.

Ji Ren's sharp eyes saw clearly that there were two large characters written on the covers of these three secret books.

The first one says "Sword Two", the second one says "Sword Three", and the third one says "Sword Four".

Zhuge Yuquan came and handed the secret book to Ji Rendao: "This swordsmanship has been devoted to the master's lifelong efforts, and it integrates all the swordsmanship in the world. If you can learn this set of swordsmanship, it will be equivalent to learning all the swords in the world." Law."

Ji Ren took it with both hands and said: "Thank you Master, but I am taking the liberty of my disciple. I just saw that Master wanted to take away another book of 'Sword Two', and finally took this one. I don't know about Sword Two, Sword Three, and What’s the difference between the Four of Swords and the Three?”

"The swordsmanship that my master really wants to teach you is a set of swordsmanship that can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words. It is only in my mind. However, this set of swordsmanship is too difficult. No one can learn it, not even your senior brother. He couldn't learn it, so he was trapped in the swordsmanship. He was in a daze for several years and almost went crazy. Finally, he simplified the swordsmanship for his master so that he could barely practice it, which is Sword Two." Zhuge Yuquan said slowly.

Ji Ren looked shocked when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at Zhuge Qinglan. Even Zhuge Qinglan, who was in the Heavenly King realm, couldn't practice. Instead, he practiced obsessive swordsmanship.

Zhuge Qinglan nodded slightly, indicating that Zhuge Yuquan's words were true.

Ji Ren was shocked again and looked at Zhuge Yuquan with a different look.

So those disciples before Zhuge Yuquan went crazy in their practice, not because Zhuge Yuquan taught them wrong, but because they were not talented enough to practice this set of swordsmanship?
  In this case, it is no wonder that Zhuge Ran was not allowed to come.

But you can cultivate and even simplify, so why is your cultivation still only that of a day?
  "But after the improvement of swordsmanship, it is still very difficult to practice, and there are not many people in the world who are as talented as Qinglan. Even his little wife can't practice it. Swordsmanship that cannot be popularized is naturally not very good. I After entering the academy, after reading the academy's classics, I started to revise it and created the Three of Swords. At that time, because I was a teacher in the academy and had to accept disciples, two people became my disciples, namely your former senior brother and second senior brother. Their talents are not good, they are far worse than Xiao Qinglan, and they have not even succeeded in practicing Sword Three." At this point, Zhuge Yuquan sighed.

"What happened next?" Ji Ren asked curiously. Was he expelled because he couldn't learn? That's reasonable, but it shouldn't have been accepted in the first place.

"Then one night, I suddenly discovered that the two of them were dancing, unable to control themselves, and the real energy around their bodies was flowing wildly, going crazy. Only then did I realize that they had stolen the second sword while I was not paying attention, and were practicing secretly. I wanted them to practice sword practice. If the law failed, they thought I was hiding something, so I went to see it myself." Zhuge Yuquan said.

Ji Ren suddenly realized that when people encounter something they cannot learn, the first thing they suspect is not that they are stupid, but that others have not taught them thoroughly. Especially when Zhuge Yuquan's cultivation is indeed not high, his disciples are even less convinced by his words. .

During this period of time, he also studied Zhuge Yuquan carefully. Zhuge Yuquan's eldest disciple was from the Xiahou family, and his second disciple was from the Liu family. The reason why he worshiped Zhuge Yuquan was to help him behind his back, but Zhuge Yuquan's cultivation level It's really not high, so the people who come here aren't very talented either.

All I can say is, I deserve it.

The baby is in front of you, if you can’t learn, who’s to blame?

"What about the next three senior brothers?" Ji Ren asked again.

Mentioning this, Zhuge Yuquan's expression changed a little, and he said: "His talent is stronger than the first two, and he got started practicing Jian San easily. I sighed that Jian San was finally completed, and I couldn't help it. I gave him some pointers on sword techniques and asked him to practice according to them, and the result..."

"Have you gone crazy again?" Ji Ren asked.

"Yes, everything is possible in theory, but in the end, in practice, it always fails. He has gone crazy, so I improved Sword Four so that he can practice hard." Zhuge Yuquan showed a bit of distress on his face, obviously It's very reasonable and in line with the laws of heaven and earth. It's okay for him to come, but I don't know why others can't.

"Then why were you expelled from the school again?" Ji Ren asked curiously.

We have specially arranged the Four of Swords, but we still want to expel him from the school? "Because after he woke up, he was afraid of my guidance, afraid of my swordsmanship, and unwilling to worship me as his teacher. But since ancient times, only masters follow apprentices. How can a disciple abandon his master? Since he wants to change his teacher, then I will Let him change." Zhuge Yuquan said.

Zhuge Yuquan sounded relaxed, but Ji Ren could see the hidden heartache on Zhuge Yuquan's face.

He worked hard to give guidance and teach magical skills, but in the end he was abandoned by his disciple.

In the end, for the sake of his apprentice's future, he had to expel his apprentice from his school.

After all, the master of heaven and earth and the ethics of ethics are a mountain that countless people cannot cross in this era.

When a disciple turns his back on his master, no matter how legitimate the reason is, he will always be criticized by others. But when he is expelled from his master, considering Zhuge Yuquan's situation, people will only say that he is unlucky, but not that his moral character is lacking.

Of course, if you think about it from his perspective, these top three senior brothers are also very unlucky.

After all, when others become a disciple, they get the guidance from the master, and then save several years of hard training. He becomes a disciple, gets the guidance from the master, goes crazy for a year, and then doesn’t dare to listen to the guidance, and then secretly listens to other people’s guidance. Again, he looks down upon it. Master, it is reasonable to want to change teachers.

No one is wrong, but the result is so tragic.

"Then Master, why don't you explain it to me?" Ji Ren said.

It was clear that he was not at fault, but he was rumored to be a heinous person.

"What's the explanation? It's just the criticism of a group of mediocre people. Besides, to explain, put the blame on two lunatics and an abandoned disciple?" Zhuge Yuquan shook his head.

"In that case, Master, why don't you let me practice Sword II directly?" Ji Ren looked at Zhuge Yuquan and said.

"Ji Ren, please think carefully. Although Sword Two is powerful, the threshold for practice is higher. If you are not careful, you will go crazy. It is better to start practicing with Sword Four. If you can master it, then practice Sword Three and Sword Two. ." After hearing this, Zhuge Qinglan immediately suggested.

"I have been very cautious. I originally wanted to practice Sword One directly, but because the risk is really not small, I will practice Sword Two for now. If the conditions are ripe, I will practice Sword One again." Ji Rendao, his intuition told him that Sword One He can also practice it.

"Have you thought about it? If you don't have enough understanding, you will go crazy when you first start practicing. Your Dharma is not strong." Zhuge Qinglan said.

"Senior brother, you made two mistakes. First, my Dharma is very strong. It only took me two months to transform myself from the third level of raising souls to becoming a human general. Second, if I can't practice the second level of swordsmanship, Master will accept me as his disciple." What to do? Since people in the world are ignorant and say that Master's swordsmanship is not good, then I will let them know that it is just because they are mediocre." Ji Rendao.

"Have you thought about it?" Zhuge Yuquan looked at Ji Ren and said.

"Think about it. I have a monopoly on the title of master's disciple." Ji Ren said.

"Okay." Zhuge Yuquan laughed when he heard this and took out the second sword again.

Ji Ren reached out to take it, opened the secret book, and looked at every action in the secret book with concentration. In an instant, countless pictures circulated in his mind. The next moment, he was shocked, but he saw that the words on the secret realm came to life.

Those vague figures seemed to have turned into real people. The next moment, a loud noise sounded in Ji Ren's mind, like a Hong Zhong Dalu, and he was in a blank transparent world. There was only one peerless figure between the sky and the earth. Independence, one person and one sword, is like the only one in the world.

Another sword slashed out, the color of the sky and the earth changed, the wind and thunder moved together, and the boundless avenue rose with the sword.
