As soon as the red sun rose from the eastern horizon, Qi Zicai returned to Qijia Village. On the way down the mountain, his mood was agitated and the sky was bright, so he walked very quickly. Compared with when he went there, he saved a lot of money. Most of the time.
From a distance, he saw his eldest brother Qi Ziyan and several senior brothers exercising on the grain farm of Qijia Village, as well as his father Qi Fu who was supervising them. He walked over happily, walking briskly.
"Zicai, how are you? Have you been deceived?" Qi Ziyan saw his third brother coming back, stopped his body-building moves, and asked with a smile. Qi Fu snorted from the side, seemingly dissatisfied with Qi Zicai for wasting his early morning exercise time.
According to Qi Zicai's usual character, he would have excitedly retorted that his elder brother had wronged him, but now he did not feel dissatisfied and did not take those words to heart. He smiled calmly and did not answer his elder brother's questions. Talking directly about what the senior said today, I secretly muttered in my heart, in the past, my father told me to be calm and calm, but I couldn't do it at all, but now I can do it naturally. In the final analysis, it still lies in this matter. , I am convinced that the truth is in my mind, and I am confident and calm.
Qi Zicai’s memory is not as good as that of a monk who has an out-of-body experience and can induce qi, so he only remembers half of what Shi Xuan said, and he speaks confusingly. Still like this, Qi Fu, Qi Ziyan and others were also moved by what they heard. It’s very simple. You can tell that it is many times better than the Taoist jade slips I bought at the store in the city!
"Third brother, eldest brother has wronged you, and I apologize to you here." Qi Ziyan apologized sincerely. Qi Zicai was able to talk about these contents regardless of previous suspicions, which was equivalent to reminding them again not to miss listening to their seniors' sermons. After all, this kind of When it comes to opportunities, the fewer people know about it, the better. Qi Zicai's actions just show that he has his family at heart.
Originally, the hundreds of monks who came to the top of Zhushan today to listen to the sermon were determined not to spread the word about it, but their relatives and friends still had to talk about it, and relatives and friends had relatives and friends. By the time Qi Zicai, Qi Fu and others went there the next day, there were thousands of monks on the top of Zhushan Mountain, making up the vast majority of the monks in Anxi City and nearby areas.
Shi Xuan came out of the bamboo hut and looked at the crowd of heads in front of him. He flew up to the boulder without saying much, and then started today's sermon based on yesterday's content.
The two stages of physical training and Qi nourishing are the foundation, so the monks from yesterday and in the future can still understand and be intoxicated. Of course, there are many monks who have prepared jade slips early and used recording techniques. Starting from Shi Xuan It will be automatically recorded as soon as it starts.
There were not many more beasts and birds listening than yesterday, but all of them seemed to have a little bit of intelligence, whether they were squatting or standing, they all looked the same.
"From now on, every time I preach for five days, I will leave half an hour to answer your questions. That's it for today. Please come early tomorrow." After Shi Xuan finished speaking, he saw that several monks quickly recovered from their addiction. When he woke up, he opened his mouth to ask, so he said lightly.
There is a large city hundreds of miles away from Anxi City, called Sishui City. It is the place where Anxi, Mingxi, Qishui, and Jiajiang meet, and the waterways are prosperous. I don’t know how much more prosperous it is than Anxi City.
There is a small house in the west of the city. Zhao Xingfan is sitting cross-legged and meditating, visualizing and strengthening his soul. Since his parents died young, he has devoted himself to cultivating Taoism and worked extremely hard. He is only one step away from leaving the body.
"Huh." Zhao Xingfan slowly exhaled a breath and stood up. Although he was only one step away from leaving the body, there was always something missing. It was a pity that he didn't have enough money to buy those Taoist jade slips. Could it be that he wanted to buy these jade slips? Is the house sold? Or go to deep mountains or river bottoms to catch some monsters at great risk?
Dong dong dong, someone was knocking at the door of the small courtyard at this time. Zhao Xingfan was a little confused. He didn't have many relatives and friends. He had been concentrating on practicing Taoism in these years, so how could anyone come to the door.
With doubts, Zhao Xingfan left the room, walked to the courtyard door, opened the door, and saw his former neighbor Sun Dong: "Brother Sun, I don't know what I need to come to ask for advice?" There were several servants standing behind him.
Sun Dong is a genial, white, fat and wealthy man in his teens. At this time, he smiled and raised the letter in his hand: "Sun was preparing to go to the business today to do business, and found someone delivering a letter to your former residence, haha , but they didn’t know that you had moved here a long time ago. Sun saw that you were on your way, so he sent it to Brother Zhao.”
Zhao Xingfan took the letter and thanked him: "Zhao only told his relatives and friends in the city about moving here. This letter is probably from other places." As he spoke, he glanced at the surface of the envelope and saw that Writing the name of Qi Ziyan from Anxi City, I thought to myself that when I went to Anxi City a few years ago, I had some friendship with Qi Ziyan, but I didn't know why he wrote the letter?
Seeing that Zhao Xingfan did not read the letter, Sun Dong smiled and said: "Brother Zhao, please read the letter first. If you want to reply, Sun can help you take it to the trading house and ask someone to deliver it."
Zhao Xingfan thanked Sun Dong for his kindness, tore open the envelope, took out the letter paper and flicked it, and the letter unfolded. A quick glance showed that Zhao Xingfan was in high spirits, his eyes were bright, and he wished he could grow wings on his back and fly away.
"Haha, it seems like it's a good thing? Brother Zhao." Sun Dong asked casually.
Zhao Xingfan was excited and answered directly: "This is a letter from fellow Taoist Qi in Anxi City. It says that on the top of Zhushan Mountain in Anxi City, there is a senior in the supernatural realm teaching Taoism publicly. Ha, this is Zhao's opportunity. There is hope for a breakthrough now!”
"Lecture Taoism in public?" Sun Dong frowned. "Let's not say whether this is true or not, but for many years, Sun, who has been a neighbor for many years, has watched you grow up, Brother Zhao, and I have to remind you to practice Taoism. It cost a lot of money. You have already sold your mansion and moved back to this ancestral home. It is better not to be brave and continue to practice. The right way is to keep fit and enjoy life with peace of mind."
Zhao Xingfan retorted: "For Zhao, practicing Taoism means enjoying life."
Sun Dong hated the fact that iron cannot become steel, and sneered: "Hey, enjoy life. Although Sun is just exercising to strengthen his body, he has been doing business for so many years and has heard that once he embarks on the road of monasticism, it is extremely dangerous and evil. Beasts and evil spirits will make you die, and even if you are lucky enough to survive, you will have to run around for a little spiritual grass or a little material, risking your life again, and there will be intrigues among colleagues, and they will often stab you in the back. Is my life tiring? From Sun’s point of view, it’s not as comfortable as a mortal life, so what’s the use of practicing Taoism?”
"How could it be?! Practicing Taoism can lead to immortality!" Zhao Xingfan couldn't find anything else to say to refute, so he could only answer this point.
Sun Dong shook his head and said: "Eternal life, what's the point of this kind of painful immortality?! It's not as good as Sun's life of living together forever, having children, loving wife, and wearing gold and silver! Brother Zhao, Listen to Sun's advice, find a wife, have a baby, and enjoy family happiness, which is much better than that nagging person's practice!"
Zhao Xingfan was speechless for a moment and could only shake his head and said: "Zhao has made up his mind. He will pack his luggage immediately and go to Anxi City."
Sun Dong sighed: "Only when you regret it in the future will you understand what Sun said today."
On the top of Zhushan, the moon and stars are sparse.
After several months of preaching, Shi Xuan has talked about the content of physical exercise and Qi nourishing to entraining Qi.
A dozen or so Qi-entraining monks, including Zhang Liu and Wan Chengfeng, gathered together. Their expressions were anxious and expectant, hoping that Shi Xuan would come out immediately.
Wan Chengfeng walked a few steps, but still couldn't calm down in his heart, so he had to smile bitterly and said: "I wonder if the seniors will talk about the secret method of entraining qi to advance to magical powers? Or should we just start from the beginning and talk about the previous content."
Zhang Liu was also uneasy: "It's difficult. This is the key to establishing a small sect. Senior shouldn't be so generous. He himself is only in the realm of supernatural powers. Moreover, major business houses, in Taoism, The most profitable thing on the jade slips is the secret method of channeling qi to advance to magical powers. If the seniors teach it publicly, it will ruin people's wealth and inevitably lead to death. Their backers are all those golden elixir masters.
This was quite reasonable, and the few people who said it couldn't help but nod, but when they thought that they urgently needed the secret method to advance to the magical realm, they became dejected.
While they were talking, they saw Shi Xuan walking out of the bamboo hut and climbing onto the boulder, so they each sat cross-legged and waited anxiously.
Shi Xuan looked around at the monks below. Because they had begun to practice the exercises, they each had some luck, but not much. They were almost the same as the monks from the four major sects who had been taught the true method. However, Shi Xuan felt vaguely in Dingzhu that if he really wanted to finish teaching these two inheritances, he would have some unexpected benefits.
"Today I'm going to talk about the method of entraining qi to advance to magical powers." Shi Xuan spoke slowly.
Zhang Liu, Wan Chengfeng and others widened their eyes, feeling both happy and angry.
The cold wind was biting and penetrated deep into the bones, but on the top of a huge mountain, thousands of monks and those beasts and birds were silent, not even moving, listening intently to Shi Xuan's sermon.
The bright moon sets in the west and the sun rises in the east. Shi Xuan stopped preaching and said, "Today is the time for questions. If you have any questions, please get up and ask."
Zhang Liu, Wan Chengfeng and other Qi-Entraining Realm monks were hearing the key point, but they didn't expect that Shi Xuan would stop immediately. They all scratched their ears and cheeks, feeling itchy.
But the seniors are on top, and they dare not be disrespectful. If they are not allowed to listen to the sermon tomorrow because of this, they will regret it.
After Shi Xuan answered the questions for half an hour, he saw a foreign monk who had been listening for many days stand up.
Zhao Jingfan saluted and said: "Sir, I have a question, but it is not related to spiritual practice. I don't know whether I should ask it or not?"
"Ask." Shi Xuan nodded.
Zhao Xingfan had a grimace and repeated Sun Dong's words, and then said: "Junior knows that what he said is wrong, but can't find the words to refute, because the path of cultivation is indeed what he said. I also ask senior to teach me. How should I, the junior, answer?"
Shi Xuan said calmly: "Shut up and practice. After twenty years, you can ask him again."
"Ah." Zhao Xingfan didn't expect Shi Xuan to answer like this, so he could only decide to do it in confusion.
