Shi Tianyi replied: "It leads to Fazhu Peak, which is where the disciples of the Zhengyi Sect live and practice."
Cheng Tianle: "Why don't you go through the door where fellow sects come in and out? We are not disciples of the same sect."
Shi Tianyi: "When I said hello yesterday, this was the arrangement. They said that there are seniors who want to see you, President Cheng, so it would be more convenient to go to Fazhu Peak first."
While talking, he drove along the road by the lake for some distance and came to a town. Shi Tianyi found a shade tree on the roadside and parked the car. The few people got out of the car and walked towards the wild lakeside. There were trees beside the lake.
There is a large piece of farmland, and there are many bamboo poles and nets in the shallow water not far from the lake shore. The lake is contracted by local farmers engaged in breeding. Looking further into the distance, there are several fishing boats in the rippling blue waves.
They walked through undulating hills and passed through a lush bamboo forest. The place was very secluded. Bamboo trees grew all the way to the water's edge, and many bamboo leaves fell on the nearby water. There were many bamboo leaves floating between them.
riding a bamboo raft
, standing on the bamboo raft was a Taoist priest in Tsing Yi with fine features. He bowed his head from afar and said, "Are Mr. Cheng, Mr. Shi Tianyi, and Mr. Jiang Zhang here? I am a disciple of the Zhengyi sect who behaves politely and is already here."
Waiting for you for a long time!"
Cheng Tianle hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Fellow Taoist Lu Shi, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long!"
Lu Shi replied: "I have been cultivating in the mountains for countless years. I can admire the reflection of the green bamboos on the bank of Qingyi Lake and listen to the sound of waves caressing the shore. It won't feel long to wait for several days and nights... My Taoist friends, please board the raft."
"
Several people boarded the bamboo raft. This raft had no poles or oars. As soon as Lu Shi turned around, it floated away from the shore and headed towards the lake. When they met for the first time, they exchanged pleasantries on the bamboo raft and exchanged greetings for a long time. Lu Shi
It’s true that I have admired Cheng Tianle’s name for a long time. But Cheng Tianle has never heard of Lu Shi’s name. At this time, it is very important to have a recommended guide by your side. If you want Lu Shi to introduce himself and mention certain things
There is inevitably a suspicion of self-bragging.
Cheng Tianle once met Lu Qian, a disciple of Ze Ren. According to Shi Tianyi, this Taoist priest was a disciple of Ze Mingzhenren, and Zeming's master was Zhenyi Heguang, one of the three great swordsmen of the Zhengyi sect. Heguang
The senior is the Supreme Elder who guards the main gate of the mountain. He has been cultivating in the mountains for many years and seldom travels in the world. Therefore, he does not have as many friends as seniors He Feng and He Xi. He seems to have little reputation, but his cultivation is extremely high and he has extraordinary abilities.
.
This Taoist priest, like Lu Qian, had also appeared in the Kunlun spiritual world. Twenty-six years ago, at the Zhengyi Sanshan meeting where monks from all sects gathered, the former head of the Zhengyi sect in the center of the high platform, Shouzheng Zhenren
Behind the seat, there were two little Taoist boys, one holding a golden whisk and the other holding a jade purifying vase. At that time, the one holding the golden whisk was Lu Qian, and the one holding the jade purifying vase was Lu Shi. This was an incredible blessing!
Cheng Tianle, a disciple of the Lu generation of the Zhengyi sect, has only met two of them so far. I didn't expect it to be the two of them. In fact, this cannot be regarded as a coincidence. Last time I sent Lu Qian to Suzhou, and this time I sent Lu Shi to come out to greet them.
The elders in the sect specially arranged to pick these two people. The first person to see Cheng Tianle was Senior Heguang, who specially ordered him to come and lead the way.
I heard Shi Tianyi mention what happened back then. Lu Shi said: "I was only five years old at that time, and I was still ignorant. My elders asked me to go up on stage to hold the jade purification bottle, and I just stood there honestly... Taoist friend Shi, don't always refuse.
Forget about comparing me to Senior Brother Lu Qian. There is no need."
Lu Qian's Thirty-six Cave Heaven Alchemy Path has been cultivated to the twenty-ninth Cave Heaven 'Replacement Cave Heaven'. He has achieved the goal of rebirth and is the first among the new generation of disciples of the Zheng sect. He has been practicing in the mountains since he was a child. He has obtained
Under the personal guidance of Grand Master Shouzheng Zhenren, I started to practice alchemy at the age of sixteen. I have made rapid progress in cultivation, and my aptitude, understanding, and temperament are all outstanding. My cultivation is much higher than that of my peers.
Lu Qian and Lu Shi are both in their early thirties this year. They are also the oldest among the Lu disciples in the same sect. Many disciples of the Lu disciples are less than twenty years old now. Lu Qian has completely transformed his cultivation.
He is the only one among the younger generation of disciples, and none of his peers in the same sect have yet passed through the vacuum realm.
However, Lu Shi’s cultivation level is still at the 22nd Cave Heaven “Yuxing Cave Heaven” among the 36 Cave Heaven Alchemy Path, and it is only one step away from the ultimate achievement. This is not a very fast progress among the same sect, but it is not very slow either.
It is a very normal situation. I can only say that Lu Qian is so outstanding. Not only is he a good young man, but he is also taught well by his elders and the various opportunities he encounters are also coincidental.
In fact, like Zhengyi Sect, the largest sect in Kunlun with thousands of years of foundation, the inheritance of junior disciples does not pay attention to how fast the cultivation can be at the beginning. Thirty-six Cave Heavenly Alchemy Road focuses on the foundation, and the realm goes naturally. Since ancient times, all dynasties
Most of the people who achieve great success in the golden elixir and achieve great success in overthrowing delusion are around the age of thirty. This is also the time when a person has accumulated experience and knowledge and is basically fully mature physically and mentally.
The Thirty-Six Cave Heavenly Alchemy Path does not require rapid progress, but for most monks in the world, if a person cannot achieve great success after middle age, especially after reaching fifty, the hope of reaching the state of great achievement in this life is very slim. Because of this
This illustrates one thing: the achievements in cultivation that a person can achieve may only be this, and cannot be forced.
The body and mind have long since matured, and the energy and spirit have passed their peak. It is basically difficult to break through the bottleneck in practice. In fact, there is no age limit for the method of transforming delusion. Even if you practice to a hundred years old, you may still enter the state of delusion.
However, in this case, the hope of breaking the delusion is very slim. On the one hand, it is difficult to change the physical and mental state much, and on the other hand, the years spent in the delusion state are longer, and the life span may not be enough.
But there are exceptions, such as those who have flaws in the methods they practice, those who are unlucky due to lack of luck, those who lack true guidance, and those whose character is biased and have never fully understood certain key points. Once you get real guidance,
Or a enlightenment like a great enlightenment, or a major turning point in life, or experiencing some incredible mystery, or it is possible to achieve great success after middle age, such as Xing Duze, the old master of the Qingcheng Sword Sect.
Of course, these are talking about human monks. As for demon cultivators, they cannot be compared with the same longevity, but some situations are similar. For example, many demon cultivators meet Cheng Tianle and enter the Wanbian Sect to be guided by him, which is a great blessing.
Turning point.
Lu Qian is another situation. Although the Zhengyi sect does not force its disciples to be diligent and fast, their cultivation is so high that it is beyond the ordinary. He can be called a genius among this generation of disciples, and his fellow sects cannot be jealous even if they want to. So he
There is a word "qian" in his dharma title. Master wanted to remind him not to look down on his fellow disciples because of this, but to be humble and natural.
Now Lu Qian is assigned to Feishui Zhiwei Building as a manager. It is not an ordinary restaurant. The waiters are all outstanding disciples of Kunlun sects. As a symbolic leader there, he learns more than just business management.
Ah, but to prepare for the future leadership of the world's sects, and to be trained as the next generation of sect leaders.
Shi Tianyi knew the situation of these two Taoist priests, and when they met, he couldn't help but bring up what happened at the Zhengyi Sanshan Meeting. In fact, subconsciously, he was lamenting to himself that Lu Qian had broken through the realm of rebirth.
However, the world has not yet broken through the great achievements, just like when he saw Cheng Tianle the day before yesterday. He remembered that he was almost the same as Mr. Cheng back then, but now Cheng Tianle has broken through the vacuum and established the Wanbian Sect.
Lu Shi, on the other hand, told Shi Tianyi not to mention this all the time, which was also a gentle reminder not to make such comparisons in his heart. Lu Qian's cultivation is Lu Qian's cultivation, and he deserves praise but does not envy comparisons.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Tianle quietly sent a spiritual message to Shi Tianyi: "Young Taoist Shi, do you often mention the events of the Zhengyi Sanshan Meeting in front of Lu Shi?"
Shi Tianyi nodded quietly. Cheng Tianle then said with spiritual thought: "You praise them in front of others for their extraordinary experience, but have you ever lamented in your heart that Lu Qian's cultivation has improved so quickly, but Lu Shi has not been able to do it so far?
Where is the Golden Elixir Dacheng?"
Shi Tian was slightly startled, and then nodded silently. Cheng Tianle still said with spiritual thought: "Even I would not think this way in my life. Why do you always think about this for him in your heart? Although the words have not been spoken, but
People have known your thoughts for a long time, but it's hard to persuade you. You have the intention of taking care of yourself, and then you compare yourself with Lu Qian. This is unnecessary."
These were Shi Tianyi's deepest feelings, and he never said them out loud. He just mentioned that Lu Qian and Lu Qian were on the same stage at the Zhengyi Sanshan Conference in the past. He did not mention his current cultivation level. But he always mentioned it.
I never forget to mention this, it is this kind of comparison that I am thinking about. But I don’t realize it. Today on the bamboo raft, Lu Shi finally pointed it out face to face. Then Cheng Tianle said it more clearly.
In fact, Shi Tianyi is a few years younger than Cheng Tianle, he is only 28 this year. Why doesn't Shi Tianyi want to think about the experience he had in this life, and being older than him, hasn't he not achieved great success now?
Shi Tianyi seemed to have some realization, and fell into deep thought in silence. He did not speak again, dressed in green clothes, fluttering in the wind, and the bamboo rafts under his feet separated from the waves and floated towards the depths of the blue lake. The sun shone on the water, and in the distance
There are faint fishing songs, and there is peace and tranquility between heaven and earth. Looking from a distance, the bamboo raft and the four people on it are a dynamic picture with great artistic conception.
Cheng Tianle looked at the flowing water separated by the bamboo raft with his hands behind his back. The ripples spread far away, overlapped with the wave marks on the lake, collided, and gradually dissipated, full of the charm of the spiritual breath of heaven and earth. The so-called spiritual breath of heaven and earth is not only
There was not only the majestic and dangerous pressure, but also the gentle and silent rippling. Cheng Tianle seemed to be in a trance, and several people on the bamboo raft seemed to be in a trance as well.
I was looking down at the water all day long, but I was suddenly stunned when I looked at it, because there were no waves on the water. The bamboo raft walked in the lake, although it had no oars or harps, but it was driven by the magic power of the shape, and it would always bring up fine waves.
There were ripples and ripples, but in such an inexplicable moment, the lake surface became as smooth as a mirror, and the bamboo rafts slid past silently without leaving any traces.
Cheng Tianle was startled, thinking that he had seen it wrong. He blinked and saw the waves again. When he looked up again, a towering mountain appeared in front of him. He was sure that when he looked far away, there was absolutely no such mountain in the lake. At this moment, he couldn't help but
Don't sigh, it turns out that the gate of Zhengyi San Mountain is in the lake. I just passed through it without knowing it. I didn't know how the cave barrier was opened. It seems that Lu Shi must have a disciple of Zhengyi Sect with him.
Special induction weapon.
The majestic green mountains are a thousand meters high, blocking the sight to the left, right and rear, and not showing the whole picture of this paradise. Cheng Tianle's reaction was like this, and Jiang Zhang from behind couldn't help but let out an exclamation. Standing in front
Lu Shi smiled and said: "Mr. Cheng, fellow Daoist Jiang, in front of you is Fazhu Peak, one of the Zhengyi Sanshan Mountains."
The bamboo raft brushed against the light waves and landed on the shore. There was also a bamboo forest here. The scenery was almost the same as the shore of the lake when it came. If you were not paying attention, you might have thought you were back to the same place. There is a path in the forest that is more than two people wide.
The fallen yellow bamboo leaves made a rustling sound when stepped on. After leaving the bamboo forest, there was a stone road with a stone archway in front of it. On the lintel of the archway, there were three words "Fazhu Peak" written on it, and there was also the inscription Xu Yaowang Shengzhi beside it.
Look at the couplet engraved on the stone pillars on both sides: "If the clouds and water have no intention, they will come out of the world as rain and dew; the springs and stones will move to the clear ear, and they will transform into mountains and rivers in Kunlun." It was also written by the same person.
Four Taoist boys in green clothes stood in front of the stone square, bowing their heads to everyone and saying, "Has the Gusu Wanbian Sect's chief minister arrived? Master Heguang is waiting at Tixinbi."
Cheng Tianle quickly returned the gift: "I'm really sorry, I have to thank you all, how can I ask my seniors to wait for me!"
Lu Shi smiled and said: "They are either waiting for President Cheng, or they are on duty here. And regardless of whether President Cheng comes or not, Master Heguang will still be writing on the wall of the title wall today."
After passing through the stone square and climbing up the winding stone path, Cheng Tianle couldn't help but ask: "Just now I saw the inscription on the stone square. How could it be that it was a demon king?"
Lu Shi replied: "When the founder built Zhengyisan Mountain, he got help from various immortal families. The stone workshop has been there since thousands of years ago. I also asked the master the same question, but the master didn't know.
, then go ask Master."
Cheng Tianle: "Then what was your master's answer?"
Lu Shi: "Mr. Cheng, your name is Tianle, others can also call you Demon King."
Cheng Tianle was stunned: "Aren't these the exact words of Senior Heguang?"
Lu Shi: "Of course not. How did my master know that you would come, Mr. Cheng? He just told the master that if anyone asks again, this is the answer."
Continuing to walk up, Cheng Tianle suddenly asked Shi Tian with his spiritual thoughts: "Friend Shi Dao, do you know when Master Zeming, the master of the world, achieved great success?"
Shi Tianyi couldn't answer this kind of question in front of Lu Shi, so he had to quietly use his fingers to indicate that the answer was forty-five years old. Cheng Tianle didn't ask any more questions, but Shi Tianyi was very puzzled. He didn't know why Mr. Cheng suddenly wanted to
Asking this? After a while, he seemed to have figured it out again, and his expression became relieved. In fact, the meaning expressed by Cheng Tianle was very complicated and involved several issues, which was enough for Shi Tianyi to ponder for a while.
Fazhu Peak looks like a high mountain from a distance, but you can't see its full picture when you are in the mountain. This path winds up, giving people the impression that the mountain is layered, and there is a fork in the road at every turn.
It extends and opens, leading to a pavilion house hidden in the mountains and forests, but the view is not very clear.
