Volume Two, Chapter 85: The Elixir Arrives...
This Jingxin Pavilion is built against the mountains and waters, close to Jingxin Lake. In the deep forest, birds and beasts are singing to make the mountain look quieter, and birds and mountains are quieter. This is about the scenery at this moment.
Yi Cheng stood by the window, looking at the rippling lake, all kinds of distractions gradually subsided, with only this mountain and this water in his eyes, and gradually no self in his heart.
All the past has appeared before my eyes, and over the past thirty years, everything Yi Cheng has experienced has passed by.
Since I remember that at the age of five, he practiced marrow cleaning at home, and he could hardly find his father's shadow in his memory. Only his mother would prepare a sumptuous meal after his face was complete. This initial memory may be the only time when Yi Cheng felt happy in childhood.
When he was eight years old, Yi Cheng, who was still confused, fled with his mother and headed south. He encountered robbers several times on the way. The servants guarded him and fled to death. Their orphans and widows arrived in Tiannan City. They originally wanted to settle down, but unexpectedly, they met the evil man Jia Liu. In the end, his brother and sister were separated. His mother died of illness. He was alone in Qingshan Town, but fortunately his grandfather took him in.
Later, he met his master Song Wuque, who practiced martial arts and was successful. He went to the world to find his brothers and sisters, enjoyed his grudges, destroyed the Qing Gang, resolved the difficulties in Cangzhou, and achieved King Wu. He recognized each other. He cut his hair into the Golden Palace, and established the world of cultivation.
In the past six years, I devoted myself to practicing, breaking through the martial god, killing the ulterior motives of Kunwu, and participating in the Trial of Secret Land, which made a big splash.
After building the foundation, you have a clearer goal for your own path to cultivation. Even if you have poor qualifications, you will have to spend more effort than others and will not give up even in difficulties. You can go from being a young man who escapes from the human world to today. What you rely on is qualifications and opportunities, but more of your own efforts.
For more than twenty years, Yi Cheng has never given up on his practice, whether in the secular world or in the realm of cultivation.
Thinking of these things in his heart, Yi Cheng's emotions did not fluctuate much. It was not that he could forget his feelings and righteousness. Instead, as his cultivation deepened, he could control his mind and not easily fluctuate. After a long breath, Yi Cheng felt calm and sat back to the bed and began to meditate and practice quietly.
Such a great cave, if you don’t seize the time to practice, it would be a waste of resources. Even if you practice normal meditation here, it is similar to using medium-grade spirit stones, so even if you have a wealthy fortune, Yi Cheng still knows how to be frugal.
Yi Cheng was meditating in Jingxin Pavilion. After half a day, he was interrupted by the voice of the servant disciple. It turned out that the master asked him to come and pay homage. Yi Cheng stopped practicing and followed the servant disciple to the residence of the head. This was just an extremely simple courtyard. It was extremely inconspicuous in this cave surrounded by immortal clouds. The courtyard was seven or eight feet apart, and the pavilion on the back two floors looked more like the residence of mortals in the secular world.
Although Yi Cheng was surprised, he didn't think it was inappropriate. The head of the sect didn't look like the kind of person who likes luxury, and this courtyard looked more natural and elegant.
The serious disciple took Yi Cheng to the door, asked him to go in by himself, and then said goodbye. Yi Cheng walked into the yard, stood in front of the pavilion and spoke, "Disciple Yi Cheng, come and thank Master!"
The voice of Mingxiu Zhenren came from inside the house: "Come in!"
Yi Cheng walked into the room and saw that there were two people sitting in the hall at this time. In addition to the head, Xie Qi was also sitting at the bottom. Yi Cheng stepped forward and bowed to Mingxiu Zhenren and said, "Yi Cheng met Master, Xie Master ended with his disciples. Yi Cheng knew that qualifications would not be able to meet Master's eyes, but he would definitely practice hard in the future and not lose his face."
"Okay, get up and sit down. There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be so restrained. I accept you as disciples not only because of the rewards and punishments of the sect. Although you are not outstanding in qualifications, your mind and nature are quite in line with my wishes. You are not arrogant or impatient. As long as you practice diligently, you still have hope of further cultivation. I only want you to come for two things today. I gave you the gift I owe you that day. I originally thought that you did not build the foundation, and I, a master, could also give some advice, but when I saw that you have all successfully built the foundation in this month, I was deeply pleased. You must have made a lot of effort. You can tell me any questions in your cultivation today, so I can also solve your doubts."
As he said that, Zhenren Mingxiu took out a few things from the storage ring and floated to Yicheng and Xie Qi. In front of Xie Qi was a golden spear and a blue wooden shield, and in front of Yi Cheng was a purple wood sword and a blue robes.
"This golden spear Emu Shield is a set of offensive and defensive equipment, which happens to match Xie Qi's attributes. If you use it to get familiar with it, it will be a great help." Ming Xiu Zhenren said.
Xie Qi put away these two equipment and immediately realized that these two items should be of semi-spiritual weapon level.
For the monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage, half-spirited weapons are already extremely precious, and they can still play a powerful role even in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. I was depressed and thanked me quickly.
Mingxiu said to Yi Cheng again: "I heard from your uncle Yun that you are a swordsman in the secular world. This long sword is called Zi Chen. It is made of three thousand years of red sandalwood. Its hardness is no longer as good as iron. It is suitable for you to use it. This robes are also a good defensive thing, so you can take it together!"
Yi Cheng put away these two items and hurriedly bowed to thank him.
Mingxiu Zhenren seemed to dislike the red tape, so she asked Yi Cheng and the others to sit down and give them some problems that ordinary monks would encounter after building the foundation, and at the same time asked the two to tell them about the difficulties in their cultivation. At the beginning, Yi Cheng and the others were a little restrained, but later they became more casual and even joked with them. Yi Cheng and the others gradually relaxed and raised the problems they encountered one by one.
All day and night, Yi Cheng and Xie Qi said all the problems they had encountered before, no matter how big or small, but each of them had a few words at the head of the sect, which made them suddenly realize. The admiration in Yi Cheng and the others was conceivable.
When Mingxiu saw this, he said, "You don't have to be surprised. The one method you do will be able to understand all things. Although your skills are not exactly the same as me, their essence is to control the spiritual power of heaven and earth and the understanding of the way of heaven. In the future, you should not only learn to forget your intentions and think more. The accumulation of spiritual power is important, but no matter what qualifications are, all it takes is time. However, if you cannot understand the same and cannot understand the way of everything, the road to cultivation will stop."
Yi Cheng knew it in his heart when he heard this, it was related to the way of heaven, but Yi Cheng was still confused about what the way of heaven was.
"Master, I have a question about what is the way of heaven and how to cultivate the way of heaven?"
Mingxiu Zhenren did not expect Yi Cheng to have this question, and he murmured to himself: "What is the way of heaven? How to cultivate the way of heaven? Good question! Satellite TV is very pleased to have this question, but I really can't answer you this question. I have been thinking hard for a hundred years, so I can understand the basics. But under the way of heaven, all the false talks are wrong. The way of heaven can only be understood but not expressed in words. Only by slowly experiencing it can you obtain the way of heaven. Even if I tell you my own insights, it is useless and may also interfere with you. Therefore, I can teach you your skills and experiences, but it is just that. The understanding of the way of heaven must be based on myself!
How far you can go to the path of cultivation depends on how many paths you can understand. Once you hear the path, you ascend in the sun. This is not true or false as a teacher, but it is not groundless. Remember not to give up the roots and seek the ends. The understanding of the heavens is the foundation of cultivation. Cultivating the truth and cultivation is the way you practice!”
When Yi Cheng and the others heard this, they didn't know how to speak for a while. When Ming Xiu saw them thinking, he didn't speak. He waited for about a quarter of an hour and came back to his senses.
Mingxiu Zhenren said, "Okay, let's go here today. I will look for you every six months from now on. You will write down the problems you encounter and ask me. Although you are my disciples, I can't treat you badly. My cave is the residence of the heads of all generations, and the spiritual energy is still strong. If you are willing, you can live here. Of course, you think you can arrange your residence. If you want to go back to your cave, you can decide for yourself."
Xie Qi heard this and immediately said, "Thank you, Master, I want to find a residence here." This is a great benefit, fools don't want it.
Yi Cheng felt distressed at this moment. There are many benefits to staying in, but he could not stay in. In the end, Yi Cheng decided to go back to his cave and said, "Thank you, Master, I am used to being idle, so I should live in the same place!"
Xie Qi heard this from the side and hurriedly said, "Junior Brother Yi, think about it again, the spiritual energy here is much better than other places."
Yi Cheng just smiled at him silently and said nothing. Mingxiu looked at Yi Cheng with great meaning and said, "Okay, just make your own decision. Well, Xie Qi, go down and find the disciple who brought you in just now to find you a place to stay. Yi Cheng, please leave it."
Seeing Yi Cheng silent, Xie Qi had to shake his head and bow to the master, and retreat.
There were only two masters and apprentices left in the house. Mingxiu Zhenren was silent for a long time and said, "Yi Cheng, the master knows that you have your own secret."
Seeing Yi Cheng was about to speak, "You don't have to deny or admit that with your qualifications, you can have the current cultivation level. Just think about it and you will find that your cultivation is not inferior to those genius disciples at all. But for me, these things have nothing to do with me. Since I have accepted you as a disciple, I have the responsibility and obligation to protect you. I am not interested in exploring these secrets. For me, there are not many things that can touch me now. Maybe in a few years, I will resign from the position of the head and concentrate on preparing for Ningying. You are the best person with the best mind and mind I have seen. I cannot recognize all of them. But among those more famous people, you are the best, no one. Of course, this does not refer to cultivation or qualification, but the mind and nature. Even the dream horror is slightly insufficient compared to you!"
"My senior brother's attitude as a god is easy to achieve," Yi Chengzhen said in his heart.
Shaking his head, Mingxiu continued, "Meng Jinghun is very good, but unfortunately he has the strength and flexibility. But you are different, I don't even know what kind of personality you have, hardness or softness? Maybe such a personality is the best, hardness and softness are the best. I just want to tell you one thing. I won't ask your secrets, and the sects will not ask you. As long as you don't do anything harmful to the sect, everything will be with you. Even if you break the sky, I will block you. But if you do something harmful to the sect that day, even if you have a deep cultivation level, I will catch you back in person. You can write down these."
"Master, don't worry, my disciples always respect me as much as I respect others as much as I respect others as much as I can. As long as the sect does not let Yi Cheng down, Yi Cheng promises to die for the sect!" Yi Cheng said in a brief thought.
"The sect will not let you down, you will never give up on your death. It's great. What if the sect will defeat you? What if you do?" Zhenren Mingxiu looked at Yi Cheng directly, waiting for his answer.
Yi Cheng felt the master's aura become sharp and a pressure approached him. Yi Cheng raised his head with difficulty and looked at Mingxiu Zhenren's eyes. He didn't say anything, just wanted to see clearly what Mingxiu Zhenren wanted to do.
Yi Cheng's forehead sweat was flowing down little by little, but he still gritted his teeth and didn't say a word. At this time, his spiritual sense was trying hard to support himself not to fall down. The consumption speed was imagined. It was just a few breaths that Yi Cheng felt as tired as he had just completed the foundation building. Just when Yi Cheng was about to fail to support him and faint, the pressure suddenly disappeared.
Yi Cheng relaxed his body and fell into his seat without any strength. Mingxiu Zhenren stopped talking at this time, and the two of them were silent.
After a quarter of an hour, Yi Cheng's spiritual consciousness slightly recovered. He looked up at Mingxiu, but happened to meet his master's gaze.
Mingxiu Zhenren smiled, "It's great, it's really beyond my expectations. I had already regarded your strength very high, but I didn't expect that your spiritual consciousness could last for so long. You know, under my pressure, even the early stage monks in the Killing Pill stage may not be able to do better than you. I'm a little curious now, how did your spiritual consciousness be trained."
Yi Cheng heard this and there was a hint of panic in his eyes. When Mingxiu saw it, he shook his head and smiled, "Okay, I won't joke with you. I am very satisfied with your answer just now. What I want is your truth, not what you say to serve the sect. My Mingxiu disciples just need to have a clear conscience. Remember your own words, Luoxia Mountain will not let you down, and you will not let Luoxia down. If Luoxia Mountain lets you down, then remember, live well, who will have the final say at any time. Okay, go and rest. You can stay here for a few days. Jingxin Pavilion is good. You can live at any time when you are fine."
When Yi Cheng heard this, he didn't know what kind of emotion it was in his heart. He could feel that the master's last words came from the heart. Yi Cheng really accepted Master Mingxiu from the bottom of his heart.
Yi Cheng stood up and bowed respectfully to Mingxiu, preparing to quit. But he saw Mingxiu Zhenren saying to him again, "You should move here. Jingxin Pavilion will be your cave in the future. Without your invitation, no one will go in, including me. Since you don't want others to know your secret, it's safer to be here."
