Chapter 87 Sitting in the Garden of Green Hedges and Discussing the Way
When Gu Yuli heard that it was the task of assisting in making talismans, she couldn't help but feel happy. She was particularly interested in things like talismans and formations. When she was in Kunlun, she even bought a stack of blank talismans.
If you want to make talismans and seals by yourself, and do such delicate work without any guidance, it will naturally fail.
She pulled Ta Lang, smiled and said to the beautiful female cultivator in front of her: "Senior Sister Xu, my brother has a straight temper, don't take it personally. My brother and I are very satisfied with this arrangement."
Ta Lang said anxiously: "But..."
"Brother, don't worry, I can take care of myself." Gu Yuli comforted in a low voice.
The female cultivator surnamed Xu is named Xu Lan'er. She is the only daughter of the head of the Xu family village. She has been obsessed with spiritual practice since she was a child. However, she has poor qualifications. She only has three spiritual roots, and the Yuanli seeds in her inner palace were born prematurely.
, she was a little weak when she was born, and everyone was not optimistic about Xu Laner's cultivation.
Xu Laner's father is no exception. He is also a cultivator. He has been unable to build a foundation for more than 40 years and has suffered a lot. He does not want his only daughter to go through the painful path of cultivating, so he has made an early marriage with the eldest son of Lijiazhai.
, but Xu Laner decided to practice cultivation, no matter how her father persuaded her, she became a disciple of Yuxu when she was seven years old.
No one thought that after more than ten years of practice, Xu Laner actually successfully established the foundation and officially became Yuxu's outer disciple. Because of her hard work, she was favored by Master Bilan and was specially accepted as a tutor in Qingyun Palace. She was regarded as Bilan's disciple.
A nominal disciple of the real person.
After three years of school examinations, Xu Laner was recognized by Master Bilan for her extraordinary intelligence and ability to handle various affairs. Master Bilan handed over all the affairs in Qingyun Palace to this young outer disciple. Seriously.
Trust is added.
Therefore, although Xu Laner is an outer disciple, even the inner disciples do not dare to provoke her easily.
Xu Laner looked at the two brothers and sisters in front of her, and couldn't help but remember that a long time ago, when she went up the mountain, her father made her feel uneasy. She couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, and softened her voice and said, "Don't worry," Master Xiao Shi has a very bad temper.
Okay, I like to teach the juniors the most. And everyone in our Qingyun Palace is also very united. Bullying of newcomers will not happen, and the punishment for such behavior in the sect is also very severe. By the way, you are not allowed to fight with the disciples in the sect without authorization in the future.
In particular, don't make a move. If there is any dispute, come to me and report it."
Ta Lang no longer persisted. He thought that Qingyun Palace was not big anyway, and if the girl was bullied, he would just hit her. Anyone who broke the rules was nothing in his eyes.
Xu Laner's fingertips touched the transmission note twice and flicked it with her right hand. The transmission note disappeared in the air.
After a while, two handyman disciples, a man and a woman, came. The woman was heroic and quite cheerful. After seeing the waves, her eyes lit up: "Ah, there is a handsome guy here, Senior Sister Xu, you have to take this handsome guy
Give us a stable and let us, a bunch of sisters, take care of themselves."
Xu Laner smiled angrily and said: "Looking at your potential, you are not afraid of making the new junior brothers and sisters laugh."
The cheerful female cultivator laughed and said: "What a joke. Everyone has a love for beauty." She turned to look at Ta Lang: "Little junior brother, tell senior sister what your name is, and senior sister will protect you from now on."
The corners of Ta Lang's mouth twitched and he ignored him.
Gu Yuli secretly laughed, Talang was like today, and he actually let others tease her.
"Okay, let me introduce you. The new junior brother is called Ta Lang, who is at the tenth level of Qi Refining." The cheerful female cultivator and the silent male cultivator were stunned when they heard this. He is at the tenth level of Qi Refining.
The state of perfection means that you can break through at any time and enter the foundation building stage. Even if there is a thin line between you and them, of course, this thin line is not that easy to break through.
Xu Laner pursed her lips and chuckled: "He was the one who caught that Snow Toad King."
"What?" The cool female cultivator jumped up when she heard the words. She looked up and down at Talang, her eyes bright: "He is so handsome and has a good cultivation level. He caught the snow toad with his Qi Refining Stage cultivation level.
Ha, those girls will definitely be excited after we go back. Come on, little junior brother, I will show you where you live. By the way, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Ouyang Qian, you can just call me Senior Sister Ouyang."
The cool senior sister Ouyang couldn't help but pulled Ta Lang away.
Xu Laner shook her head: "This is Junior Sister Ouyang." She turned to look at Gu Yuli, smiled, and said: "Ouyang Qian has such a temperament, she actually has a good heart, and is responsible for the daily management of the animal pen. This is your Senior Brother Hao, the 'real person'
'As a registered disciple, follow him and he will make arrangements for you."
Gu Yuli bowed to this male cultivator who had been silent: "I will trouble Senior Brother Hao from now on."
Senior Brother Hao's name is Hao Shujie. He comes from a scholarly family in Kyoto, the great Shang Dynasty. He is the ninth eldest son in the family. He has been influenced by Sanskrit since he was a child. He can read General History at the age of ten. He is very smart. His parents originally wanted him to obtain fame and career.
Official career, honoring the ancestors.
But Hao Shujie had been used to being welcomed and sent off by the officialdom since he was a child, and he didn't like this kind of life. However, his parents were eager to look forward to it, so he had to reluctantly take the exam. He was admitted as a scholar at the age of thirteen, and passed the exam at the age of seventeen.
Jinshi, with his splendid articles, was highly praised by the emperor. From then on, he became famous and well known to the people of the great Shang Dynasty.
Just when Hao Shujie's reputation was at its peak and the emperor was about to appoint him as an official, Hao Shujie actually left the great Shang Dynasty Kyoto and came to Yuxu to study. His parents tried hard to persuade him, but they wanted to sever the father-son relationship with him. However, Hao Shujie had made up his mind.
, told his father that he wanted to choose to live the life he wanted, but his father had no choice but to give up. However, the father and son had almost no contact for many years.
He worshiped Yuxu, and the master of the Yuxu Sect took pity on his talent and agreed to become Chensuo's disciple in the Library Pavilion.
Hao Shujie was obsessed with scriptures and Taoism, until one day, Hao Shujie's beautiful small seal script fell into the eyes of Master Xiao Shi. Master Xiao Shi liked his talent and accepted him into the sect. If it were not for the rules of the sect, he would have accepted him as a closed disciple.
Speaking of which, Hao Shujie's qualifications can be considered to be above average, as he has two spiritual roots. But what he is interested in is the charm of Taoism, not the pursuit of immortality.
Last year, we entered the early stage of foundation building. We did not deliberately break through, but it happened naturally. This is in line with Yuxu's idea that Taoism follows nature.
Hao Shujie speaks elegantly.
During the conversation with him, Gu Yuli realized that this Senior Brother Hao knew everything about astronomy and geography. There was almost nothing he didn't know, and his views on the way of cultivation were equally extraordinary.
Unconsciously, they arrived at Qingli Garden. Hao Shujie took Gu Yuli in. There were two young female cultivators selecting materials for making talismans and seals under the locust tree.
Seeing Hao Shujie come in, they all put down the monster furs in their hands and greeted him with a smile: "Senior Brother Hao, you are back."
Hao Shujie smiled and nodded, and was about to introduce the new Junior Sister Gu.
A female cultivator rushed over and said, "Senior Brother Hao, are you hungry? I'll heat up some food for you."
Not to be outdone, another female cultivator said, "Brother Hao, I left a plate of shrimp jade cake for you. It's very delicious. You must like it. I'll bring it to you." The female cultivator turned and left.
Gu Yuli saw the two female cultivators looking at Senior Brother Hao infatuatedly. Even a fool could tell that the hearts of these two young female cultivators fell on Senior Brother Hao.
It's no wonder that Senior Brother Hao looks dignified, speaks elegantly, and is humorous at the same time.
The newcomer Gu Yuli was completely ignored.
Senior Brother Hao smiled slightly awkwardly: "Junior Sister Gu, I will take you to see your residence."
"Okay." Gu Yuli responded with a smile.
The new residence is to the south of Qingli Garden. There are several green bamboo trees growing in front of the house, with snow on the bamboo leaves.
Senior Brother Hao unlocked the door, pushed it open, handed the key to Gu Yuli, and said, "Junior Sister Gu, if you see if there is anything missing, just tell me."
Gu Yuli thanked her. She entered the house and looked around. The house was not very big, but it had everything, simple and practical. There was an ink painting hanging on the south wall. A Taoist stood on the bank of the river, looking at the people rushing away.
River water.
There are words on both sides of the picture.
"The river flows by itself and stretches so long that it can be said endlessly."
Senior Brother Hao came to Gu Yuli, looked at the painting and explained: "It is said that this is the place where the founder first enlightened. This painting hangs in every room in our Yuxu, and these two sentences indicate
This is the basis of our Yuxu practice."
Gu Yuli asked about the confusion he had always had: "Senior Brother Hao, is cultivation going against nature or following the path? I have read many books about cultivation, but the more I read, the more confused I become."
Senior Brother Hao smiled and said: "I had this kind of confusion at the beginning, but even now I don't have the confidence to say that I have figured it out. Since Junior Sister asked, I will tell you my opinion."
"There are so many immortal sects in the world, among which Yuxu, Kunlun, and Shushan are the most famous. The sects have been passed down for a long time. The current situation of the three kingdoms and the three-divided world is actually established by these three immortal sects. Kunlun enters Taoism with swords, and every sword cultivator realizes it.
The sword intention of each person is different. The highest state pursued by sword cultivators is the unity of man and sword, whether it is against or in harmony. There is no final conclusion. The founder of the Kunlun sect believes that what people pursue in practice is the path to immortality, and that reversing decline and death is vitality. In fact,
It is an act that goes against heaven, and there is a Taoist tradition that goes against it and becomes an immortal, and obedience becomes an ordinary thing.”
"Our founder of the Yuxu sect believes that Taoism is natural. As long as you practice it, you will naturally enter the next state. There is no need to break through. Using elixirs to assist in breaking through is even worse and will bring hidden dangers to future practice, especially
After the golden elixir stage, this hidden danger will become more and more serious. However, there are fewer and fewer patient practitioners now. Too many people practice more or less utilitarianally, and some cannot stand external pressure. We
Yuxu now has many disciples who have borrowed elixirs to pass the test, and many of them have reached the golden elixir stage."
"I more agree with the ancestor's Taoism. It's like a seed. You can water it with the right water and use the right fertilizer to nourish it, but you can't pull it out to make it grow taller faster."
Gu Yuli listened carefully, and then asked: "Brother Hao, does that mean you can't take pills on weekdays?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly vote, your
