Myths and Dharma, starting from Erlang Shen

Chapter 90 The three elders of the temple, Jin Xia’s three words
  "What did you do last night?"

In Taiping Academy, Ji Ren looked at Qiao Qingyin, who had two dark circles under his eyes, and wondered, "Are you going to be a thief at night?"
  "It's nothing. The pillow is broken and it makes me uncomfortable to sleep at night." Qiao Qingyin said perfunctorily. She woke up in the middle of the night last night and wanted to write a letter to inform Qiao Qingyu, but after she finished writing it late at night, no one sent it, so she had to give up. Then he tossed and turned on the bed.

Calculating the time, the letter should have arrived, so my sister should have already left.

Where are you now? After I finish writing the letter, where will I send it?
  If my sister comes home and finds out that the matter has been resolved and I didn't inform her, will she beat me?

Qiao Qingyin thought about it, imagining countless possibilities, and just like that, she didn't fall asleep all night.

Ji Ren glanced at Qiao Qingyin and expressed disbelief, but this was not the time to care about it, because the application process had been passed, and he was now going to put Yang Jian's statue of Dharma into the Lingchi Palace.

Last time, after simply completing the inheritance, Ji Ren had not yet fully understood Yang Jian's Dharma Stone Statue.

The two people walked side by side and soon arrived at the temple.

It was the same as when I came to attend the Dragon Gate Ceremony more than three months ago.

It's just different from before. This time, no one is pointing fingers and making sarcastic remarks behind Ji Ren's back.

And Qiao Qingyin and Ji Ren are not as conflicted as they were back then.

When they arrived in front of the temple, they stopped talking.

It is not the Dragon Gate Ceremony right now, and Xun Jing is not here, but there are many stone statues of Dharma in the temple. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the foundation of Taiping Academy, so no matter what time, there will be three powerful figures sitting inside.

Ji Ren walked to the door of the temple, bent down and saluted: "Student Ji Ren, on the order of Master Zhuge Yuquan, come to receive the stone statue of Yang Jian."

After the words fell, the closed door of the temple opened automatically, and a vicissitudes of voice came from inside, "Come in."

Ji Ren immediately walked into the temple with Qiao Qingyin. In an instant, the space changed. Three kind-hearted old men were sitting on the futon on the high platform. The old Taoist in the middle was wearing a Bagua Taoist robe. He had white hair and a childish face, and had an air of immortality.

"Are you Jin Xia's disciple?" the old man in the middle looked at Ji Rendao.

"Yes." Ji Ren said.

Jinxia, ​​Zhuge Yuquan’s Taoist name.

"I have known Teacher You for a long time. Although I admire him in some aspects, I never thought that someone would take the initiative to become his teacher. You have been a teacher for more than a month now. What do you think of your teacher?" The old man looked at Ji Rendao. .

"Teacher is a scholar of nature and extremely smart. He is the smartest person in the world and the most famous teacher today." Ji Rendao.

In front of outsiders, the teacher's face always needs to be maintained.

Hearing Ji Ren's words, the three old men laughed at the same time, looked at Ji Ren and said, "So, your talent is really good. Do you know your teacher's nickname?"

"The ghost dragon is extremely smart, beyond the human world." Ji Ren said.

Qiao Qingyin, who was behind Ji Ren, blinked. She didn't have time to care about Ji Ren because of Uncle Wei Yuan's matter before, but now she realized that Ji Ren seemed to have been brainwashed by Zhuge Yuquan.

He secretly screamed in his heart, no good, if Ji Ren goes crazy, his father will go crazy too.

"Hahaha"

Hearing Ji Ren's words, the three old men on the high platform laughed. After laughing for a while, the old man in the middle said: "Sure enough, your talent is extremely high to be accepted as a disciple by that old man Jin Xia, otherwise you wouldn't have such a feeling. Do you know that apart from Guilong, your teacher has many other talents? There is also a nickname among the Taoists."

"I don't know, please ask senior for advice." Ji Ren said.

"Yiyan Celestial Master. Your teacher is the strangest person I have ever seen. His cultivation level is not high, he is only in the Yaori realm, but his understanding of the Tao even surpasses mine, but perhaps it is because of his insufficient cultivation level. Therefore, his understanding of the Tao is like a mirage, which seems to be prosperous and powerful, but in fact it is shattered at one point, like a dream. If you have extraordinary talent, listening to his words will be better than ten years of practicing the Tao." The old man in the middle said.

When Qiao Qingyin heard this, she had a look of horror on her face. Although she didn't know the identity of this old man, he was able to sit in the temple. He was at least a powerful king. His strength would not be lower than that of Vice Dean Jia Ru, but according to him, Zhuge Yuquan’s understanding of Tao is higher than his?

"You are young now, so I think you haven't encountered many bottlenecks yet. Once you fall into the bottleneck, you will understand the difficulty of practicing. It is like falling into an endless night. Not to mention that you can't see the slightest way forward, even when you came here, you will understand the difficulty of practicing. You can't see the road, there is darkness all around, like a drowning person, suffocated by despair. And your teacher's first words are like a bright light in the dark night, illuminating the direction of the way forward, where the flame is. , is the entrance to your next realm." The old man in the middle looked at Ji Rendao.

Qiao Qingyin's eyes widened. Is Zhuge Yuquan so strong?

So why does it have such a bad reputation? Did you deliberately control your reputation?
  Ji Ren was also secretly surprised, but soon he realized something was wrong. He looked up at the old man in the middle and said, "Listening to Master's words is worth ten years of cultivating the Tao. What if it's two words?"

Mr. Yiyan, this title sounds good at first, but when you think about it carefully, something is wrong.

"Haha." Hearing this, the old man laughed suddenly, "You are smart, no wonder Zhuge Yuquan chose you as his disciple. If your teacher's first words are the lights in the dark, guiding the way forward, then the second words In a word, it is the bright moon in Tianshan Mountain. When you stand at the foot of the mountain and look up, you think you can touch the moon when you reach the top of the mountain. But when you reach the top of the mountain, you find that the moon is still so out of reach. The moon is beautiful , is also very bright and can light up the night sky, but no matter how hard you try, you can't touch it or reach it. So although you walk out of the night, you will fall into another kind of loss, even despair."

Qiao Qingyin nodded in understanding. I see, it's just that she can successfully lead the strong astray, which is also an amazing skill.

"The fire in the world is within sight, and the moon in the Tianshan Mountains is out of reach. Has anyone tried this?" Ji Ren asked curiously.

As soon as he said this, Ji Ren saw that the old men on the left and right had dark faces, as if they were talking about something unpleasant, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart. Could it be such a coincidence?

As expected, the old man in the middle smiled even more happily and said: "Of course. Just like the two people next to me, they were stuck in a bottleneck when they were at the sixth level of the Earth Marquis. Then, with your master's words, they went straight to the seventh level of the Earth Marquis. , and then when I was in the ninth level of Dihou, I went to find your master. Your master was originally unwilling to say anything, but he was pestered by them and couldn't do anything. He was also inexperienced at the time, so he said a few words casually, and then The two of them went crazy and it took them ten years to recover."

The faces of the two old men on the left and right suddenly turned darker.

Ji Ren was also full of embarrassment and would not have asked if he had known about it.

"It's okay, it's all over. We were the ones who forced you to be a teacher in the first place. And don't say that your teacher is kind to us after all. Even if he has hatred, he will not anger you, a junior." The old man on the right saw Ji Ren's expression and immediately explained.

"Furthermore, one word is fire in the world, two words is moon in Tianshan Mountain, do you know what three words are?" The old man on the left even showed a smile.

The old man in the middle suddenly turned a little darker, and before Ji Ren could ask, the old man on the left said directly: "It's the sky sun. It's warm and blazing, lighting up the land of Kyushu, and it can even tear apart the entire night. But the closer you get to it, the more you feel the blazing heat. In the end, it only takes a little bit of the sun's fire to destroy your body and soul, and burn your soul to pieces without leaving any trace left. Do you know who here feels this sky sun? ?"

Ji Ren's expression was subtle. Should I ask or shouldn't I ask?

And does this question need to be asked?
  By the way, it was because of this that the teacher asked me to come by myself this time instead of bringing me, right?

Because all three have grievances?
  "Yang Jian's stone statue is in the seventh room on the left. Go get it yourself." The old man in the middle threw a token to Ji Ren, then looked at Qiao Qingyin and said, "Xiao Qiao's Dharma statue is in the third room on the right. Although you can’t take the room away, looking at it nearby will also help your practice, so go ahead.”

"Thank you sir."

Ji Ren and Qiao Qingyin immediately accepted the order and hurriedly left.

Then I saw the old man in the middle looking at the two old men on the left and right with murderous eyes. The two old men on the left and right were not afraid at all. They couldn't beat him, but you were going too far by saying dirty things to their faces.
