Chapter 888 Confluence
After more than a month, ink painting practiced with peace of mind as usual.
One afternoon, having dinner at the dining hall of the disciple''s residence, Cheng Mo kept staring at Mo Hua.
Mo Hua was puzzled, "What are you looking at?"
Cheng Mo touched his chin, "It''s nothing, I just think that you are the first in the formation, and it seems like the same as before, and nothing has changed."
He still remembers that at the time of the formation, Mo Hua looked indifferent, lifted the heavy weight and killed all directions, and in an unrivaled posture, he drew through the formation test.
The last sentence "Is there any more?" is simple, plain and plain three words that shocked a group of examinees.
His cold and invincible appearance is so handsome that his scalp is numb.
Now...
Cheng Mo looked at the ink painting silently.
It''s okay, I''m in the kitchen again, gnawing chicken legs...
He always felt that the two pictures of this young senior brother were a little separated.
"Senior Brother, you are the first in the formation and the leader of the formation. You shouldn''t be. Do you have some more spirit?" Cheng Mo said.
Mo Hua curled his lips, "What is the leader of the formation? The formation is profound and profound. You can''t delay my progress because of this little achievement."
What is the leader of the formation?
A little bit of small achievements...
Not only Cheng Mo, but also all the disciples around him were shocked.
But this was said by Mo Hua, and they could not refute it.
Cheng Mo sighed, "Senior Brother, don''t say this outside, otherwise no one will lose their minds and fight against you..."
Mo Hua nodded, "Don''t worry, I''m very modest outside."
Cheng Mo didn''t understand it very well for a moment. What is the standard of "moodiness" in ink painting...
After that, everyone ate silently.
Mo Hua chewed the chicken legs and suddenly noticed something. He was stunned for a moment, looked at Cheng Mo and said, "Is there any late stage of foundation building?"
Cheng Mo nodded, "Well, I just broke through in these two days."
He turned his head again and asked Situ Jian and the others, "Are you almost breaking through?"
Situ Jian nodded: "Well, I have seven or eight days left..."
Hao Xuan also said: "Senior Brother, so is me. It can be as fast as three days, and it can be as slow as ten days. I can also break through the late stage of foundation building..."
Ink painting suddenly felt the pressure.
He has not yet sensed the bottleneck in the later stage of foundation building...
It takes a lot of time to perceive the bottleneck, break the bottleneck, break through the late stage of foundation building, increase spiritual power, and stabilize cultivation.
And this school year has not been left for a few months.
"Hurry up!"
Mo Hua felt a stern in her heart.
After that, he became more focused on his practice, but his progress was still very slow.
Especially as Cheng Mo and other "junior brothers" broke through the late stage of foundation building, Mo Hua''s sense of urgency became stronger.
Logically speaking, building a foundation is not difficult - at least for the disciples of the eight major sects.
Refining Qi lays the foundation, building the foundation and strengthening the way, and the real watershed is the time when the golden elixir is reached.
Before the Golden Pill, what I was trying to fight for was actually spiritual roots, inheritance and cultivation resources.
No matter how stupid you are, as long as you persist in your practice and have the guidance of a famous teacher, you can feed it with various treasures and spiritual stones, and you can also feed it to the late stage of foundation building.
After the golden elixir, there are more variables.
In addition to spiritual roots and spiritual objects, inheriting these hard conditions, it also pays attention to illusory things such as understanding, fate, and luck.
Therefore, ordinary sects only pass on the Qi refining and foundation-building courses before the Golden Elixir.
These can be taught together in large classes, and the progress can be controlled.
When we reach the golden elixir, there are too many changes, the situation is complicated, and the method of practicing Taoism is more profound. We must enter the inner sect, become one-on-one disciple, and provide special practice guidance.
In the Qianxuezhou area, the disciples of each sect have almost all the best spiritual roots, and they are almost all from aristocratic families. They have family support and sect rewards, and there will be no shortage of resources.
Although the aristocratic families are divided into different levels, even if they can worship more than 100 disciples of Qianxue, no matter how bad they are and how few resources are in cultivation, they are much richer than most casual cultivators in the world.
Therefore, it is not difficult before the Golden Elixir until the late stage of foundation building.
The most difficult thing is to cultivate perfectly, excellence, excellence, excellence, far beyond others'' foundations.
But ink painting is different.
By strict standards, he is actually not a "genius".
His spiritual roots are too poor and his physical body is too weak.
When he was refining Qi, he was very poor, without the warmth of heaven and earth treasures, and without the inheritance of cultivation to polish the foundation of blood qi or spiritual power.
His qi refining speed is not slow, because the real geniuses are polishing their foundation and strengthening their roots.
He skipped this step and only rushed to make progress, so he repaired very quickly.
But when it comes to foundation building, it is a little different.
If the spiritual roots are poor, the spiritual power you can practice is less, and the progress of your practice will be slow.
In the early stage of foundation building, it is not obvious.
In the middle and late stages of foundation building, the speed of ink painting practice has obviously slowed down, and the more I go to the back, the more I am.
In addition, he spent a lot of time and effort at the Formation Conference.
The cultivation of the Divine Sword, the evil fetus parasitizes, and the self-killing soul consumes a lot of his divine essence. His realm of divine thoughts and Taoism has also fallen to a certain extent.
I guessed it and found that this year, I would not be able to reach the late stage of foundation building.
If you cannot reach the late stage of foundation building within the year, it means...
“Do you want to keep the grade?”
Mo Hua immediately felt cold in her heart.
It’s over… I am a senior brother of Taixu Sect and the leader in learning and discussing Taoism. Isn’t I really going to be reincarnated, right?
That''s really a shame to the adults.
Since then, I have worked harder and harder in my practice.
But when practicing, it is important to apply water drops to the stone, which is not a matter of one day or one night.
And if the spiritual roots are not good, they cannot be changed.
His progress in his practice was still not optimistic. Not only did his cultivation have little growth, but he also had no idea of ??the bottleneck in the later stage of foundation building...
Mo Hua''s heart was completely cold.
But since the problem has happened, it is the fact. It has to be faced with it. It is meaningless to deceive yourself.
Mo Hua thought about it and went to find Mr. Xun.
The elder is in the middle, Mr. Xun is talking to the head of Taixu. When he saw the ink painting, he was a little surprised.
Mo Hua tactfully told Mr. Xun about his concerns that he had been unable to break through the later stage of foundation building by preparing for the formation conference and focusing on learning formations, and that he had delayed his practice progress and might not be able to break through the later stage of foundation building by the end of the year.
Mr. Xun pondered for a moment and said, "It''s okay, you do your best and you will be like what you have to cultivate. Don''t worry too much about the rest."
He didn''t say it clearly, but Mo Hua understood.
It means that if you work hard to practice, even if you cannot break through the late stage of foundation building, you will not be allowed to regain your level.
Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief, and then silently looked at the head of Taixu who was standing beside him.
The head of the sect hesitated for a moment, looked at Mr. Xun, and nodded, "Don''t worry, I''ll guarantee you."
Even if the rules are broken, it doesn''t matter.
In terms of the leader of the formation, it deserves this preferential treatment.
Mo Hua was completely relieved, and after giving a greeting, he said goodbye.
After Mo Hua left, the head of Taixu was thinking.
Mr. Xun asked him, "What do you think?"
?
And he is in the middle stage of foundation building, and as long as he is not in the late stage of foundation building, he will not graduate.
In this way, if you always take the lead in the formation of the country, wouldn’t Taixu Sect be able to dominate the leader of the Tao?
The temptation was so great that Mr. Xun was greedy in his heart for a while. He thought that it would be good if the ink painting kept "remaining"... ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Moreover, if he really does this, the four major sects will definitely be in a hurry and don’t know what tricks he will use.
Other sects will also scold them for being shameless in Taixu Sect.
Mr. Xun said, "Don''t mention this matter. We should let this child work hard to practice, improve his cultivation, and learn higher-level formations. Even if he is not in the late stage of foundation building, he cannot be allowed to regain his level, otherwise he will be the leader of the formation, what will happen to be..."
"Yes." The head of Taixu.
After finishing talking about Mo Hua, they continued to talk about the main things.
"That thing..." Mr. Xun''s eyes were slightly condensed, "Are you ready?"
This is normal. If you are in a place, Taixu Gate will think so.
The head of Taixu frowned and said, "It seems that there is little hope and there are many obstacles. Ancestor, do we still have to persist?"
When the head of Taixu heard this, he felt a little relieved and bowed: "Everything is as follows the ancestor."
...
All plans are being promoted in an orderly manner.
A few days later, it rushed to the Xu Gate.
In the cave in the back mountain.
The ancient pine screen covers the cause and effect, and there is no one around.
The ancestor Linghu at Chongxu Sect sat alone in the cave.
In front of him was an ancient stone table with three tea cups on it, and the tea atmosphere in the cup was filled with misty.
The table is old, the tea cup is old, and the system is old.
This is an ancient tea party that has been passed down for a long time, but it has also been a long time and has not been held again.
At this time, the ancestor Linghu was drinking tea while waiting quietly.
After a while, the space suddenly cracked in the void and the sword energy was everywhere.
An old man with a tall and slightly dark face walked out. He walked straight to the table, picked up the teacup and started drinking.
This man was wearing Tai''amen, the highest-identified Taoist robe, and was Ouyang Zu behind Tai''amen.
Ouyang Laozu sat down to drink tea and did not speak out.
Because both of them knew that the person in charge had not come yet.
Another stick of incense has passed, and the cracks in the void unfolded again, flat and steady, with traces light.
Mr. Xun, with white hair, walked out of it and came straight to the table, picked up the teacup, signaled to Tai''a and Chongxu''s ancestors, and then drank it all in one go.
Old Ancestor Ouyang was originally angry, but when he saw Mr. Xun''s gray hair, he felt a little reluctant and sighed:
"Brother Xun, you are the fastest aging of the three of us."
Mr. Xun said calmly: "There is no way, I think too much and I work hard."
Ouyang Zu shook his head, "I said, you are all ancestors, why do you have to teach and preach in person? It''s a waste of your mind..." Mr. Xun said, "I''m used to the rules of the ancestors, and..."
Mr. Xun paused slightly, "It''s good to teach yourself, and occasionally you can pick up one or two good seedlings, which will make me happy."
As soon as these words came out, the ancestors of Taiamen and Chongxumen felt a little uncomfortable.
If it weren''t for a monster from Taixu Sect, the current situation wouldn''t be better than the two sects.
After a moment, the ancestor Linghu, who was fighting against the Xu Sect, said:
"Okay, let''s talk about the serious business..."
He was not implicit and said straight to the point: "I heard some news about that incident. I guess Brother Xun, you specially sent it to the elders and leaders to spread it to the point."
"I will first express my attitude: I don''t agree with this matter on Xumen."
Ouyang Zu also nodded and said, "I, Tai Amen, don''t agree."
Although the ancestors of the three sects are of the same lineage, since they have divided their families, they will live their own lives.
Now they have their own foundation, how can they be together?
The interests involved are too many conflicts and too complicated. The ancestors of the past just think about it and feel a headache.
Moreover, once the three sects are integrated, there must be a "leader".
Who will take this head?
According to the current situation, it must be Taixu Sect.
It is even more impossible for Taiamen and Chongxumen to agree.
To put it nicely, it is called "the convergence of the three sects", to put it bluntly, it is called "annexation". It is the Taixu Sect taking advantage of the emptiness and swallowing their Taiamen and Chongxu Sect!
As soon as I thought of this, Old Ancestor Ouyang felt resentful and said to Mr. Xun:
"Brother Xun, the three families are in harmony with each other. I don''t expect you to help us in times of danger, but don''t put any harm in the wrong..."
The ancestor Linghu also nodded and said, "This is indeed disappointing to us."
Mr. Xun drank tea silently and did not speak.
Ouyang Zu and Linghu Zu looked indifferent, but did not urge him, waiting for Mr. Xun''s reply.
After a while, Mr. Xun slowly spoke and asked the other two ancestors a question: "You think, can the foundation of our three families be preserved?"
As soon as this statement came out, both Ouyang and his ancestors were a little stunned.
Ouyang Zu said, "It''s hard to say, Tai Amen and Chongxu Sect, but you have a deep blessing and have a demonic disciple. You are already ranked third in the eight major sects. It coincides with the restructuring of the sect and will flourish from now on. What else can you not protect your foundation?"
Mr. Xun shook his head, "Not to mention the top three of the eight gates, even if I am Taixu Gate, I really get into the four major sects, and I may not be able to really maintain my foundation."
Ouyang Zu and Linghu Zu looked at each other, and then their expressions were a little puzzled:
"Brother Xun, please tell me clearly."
Mr. Xun hesitated for a moment and slowly revealed two words:
“Evil God…”
The expressions of Ouyang and Linghu''s ancestor changed, and then they frowned.
Mr. Xun said, "You should be familiar with these two words."
"You mean..." said the ancestor Linghu.
Mr. Xun sighed: "A evil **** has penetrated into the Qianxuezhou world, and the penetration is more serious than you and I expected..."
Ouyang Zu and Linghu Zu remained silent.
Mr. Xun looked at them silently and said slowly:
"I know, you may not have noticed it, but if you don''t study the cause and effect of heaven, you don''t know how serious this problem is."
"Not only you, but the other old guys, are probably the same."
"Either stay in seclusion and don''t care about things, or just care about the interests of the sect and the development of the sect. If the disciples make mistakes, they will turn a blind eye as long as they don''t touch the foundation of the sect."
“This is wrong…”
Mr. Xun said in a deep voice: "The corruption of the heart of Tao is more terrifying than anything else."
"Once the heart of Tao is corrupted, the evil gods will take the opportunity to enter. No matter how powerful the power and the prosperous sects are, they will sooner or later become corrupt, and even completely rot."
"And the evil gods are lingering in people''s hearts, and their methods are bizarre and elusive."
"Even if we cultivators who cultivate qi and do not cultivate our minds, no matter how high our cultivation is, we will not be opponents of the evil gods."
Old Ancestor Ouyang frowned and shook his head and said, "Brother Xun, you are a little alarmist..."
Mr. Xun said, "Isn''t the lesson of Rouge Boat profound enough?"
This matter is more acute.
Both Ouyang Zu and Linghu Zu both looked unhappy.
"This matter is because I, Tai Amen and Chongxu Sect, are incompetent in discipline. I don''t deny it, but if you say that this is the cause of the evil god, I''m afraid... it''s a bit far-fetched..."
Mr. Xun raised his eyebrows slightly:
"Aren''t you curious? Why can this matter be hidden until now? Why can you ancestors all misunderstand it? Why do you want to put such dirty things on the Yanshui River?"
"The Dragon King Temple in Yanshui River has its origin."
"Why did this Dragon King Temple disappear directly later? Who hid it? What exactly happened inside?"
"Now in this Dragon King Temple, water bandits are relying on murders as sacrifices, what are the things that are worshipped?"
"Is there someone who is bewitching the disciples of the sect, committing sins, and raising that thing?"
Ouyang and Linghu’s ancestor changed a little.
They are all ancestors. They must not only practice, but also plan the overall situation, and occasionally go to seclusion to comprehend. They generally do not care about these "small things" that make small fuss among the second-grade states and foundation-building monks.
In addition, the evil fog covers the cause and effect.
If Mr. Xun had not mentioned it at this time, they would not have realized the hidden mystery.
No, or they once realized it and had a little guess, but after that, intentionally or unintentionally, they all forgot...
Forgot...
These ancestors of Dongxu have forgotten...
When they thought about it, the two ancestors were shocked and their hearts were a little chilled.
What exists that can make them forget something?
The ancestor Linghu pondered for a moment and said, "I will check this matter..."
Mr. Xun shook his head: "It''s useless. If you go and check it now, you can''t find anything. Even if you find anything, it''s half true and half false. Even if you keep a shut up or get out of your mind for a while, you may have left this matter behind..."
Ouyang and Linghu’s ancestor frowned even deeper.
A moment later, Ouyang Zu said, "Brother Xun, among the three of us, you have learned the secrets of heaven the most profound way. I don''t think you can tell lies. But it''s a bit hasty to say nothing. It would be a bit careless to ask us to believe you completely."
"What''s more, it''s all about the fate of the sect."
"We understand what you mean."
"But we cannot agree that it is the "three sects merger" because of our false fear of this so-called "evil god", but in fact it is a major event of "sect annexation"..."
The ancestor Linghu also said, "Learning is false, and seeing is true. We always need to verify it so that we can make a decision."
Mr. Xun said: "If the evil **** is born, it means that people''s hearts are in chaos and the great way of heaven and earth begin to decline. When you figure it out, it will be too late..."
Ouyang Zu and Linghu Zu were obviously a little skeptical.
Mr. Xun sighed slightly.
This is the difficulty.
People can only recognize things that they can recognize.
The longer a person lives, the more he is.
The existence of evil gods is born between divine thoughts and is illusory.
A general monk may not be able to see even if his cultivation is high.
You may not understand it even if you see it, and you may not really understand it even if you understand it. Even if you really understand it, you may not know what to do.
Even if you know what to do, when you really need to do it, you will have many concerns and difficulties, and it will be difficult to implement it firmly.
This is also a illusion of human nature.
It is already difficult to be able to "know", and it is even more difficult to "integrate knowledge and action".
But opportunities wait for no one, they are fleeting.
Once the best opportunity is missed and the situation deteriorates, it will be weak.
Mr. Xun calculated it many times, and the more he calculated it, the more he felt that if the three sects were not combined and advanced and retreated together, it would be difficult to survive the subsequent changes in the Qianxuezhou community.
If the three sects can merge, it will be a great opportunity.
However, it is not easy to convince the two old antiques in front of us who have lived for too long and are stubborn.
Mr. Xun was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Did you forget... the ''demon catastrophe'' in the history of the three sects?"
As soon as this statement was made, Ouyang and the ancestor Linghu both shrank and their minds were shocked.
Mr. Xun continued: "All words of this ancient secret have long been erased. Except for us, the ancestors who have lived for a long time, even the current heads of the sect have not known it."
"But, I think you probably won''t forget it."
"The great catastrophe of the heavenly demons was protracted. How many people died and how many swords were broken in my Taixu lineage?"
"My senior brother, with such cultivation, his sword skills have reached the pinnacle, but he cannot go further. He can only praise himself for his divine thoughts and stay in the Taixu Sword Tomb, taking the tomb as a prison, and never leave a step in his life."
"The secrets of the three sects of heaven, such as causality and evil spirits and murderous intentions, are all silently guarded by the Taixu Sect."
"Now, countless corpses are buried in the sword tomb."
"These are both seniors who died in the great catastrophe of the demons, and geniuses who died in the killing of demons and evil spirits..."
"This may be the fate of the Divine Sword. I don''t say anything, and I don''t want to bargain, but you should know that you do owe something to me, Taixu Sect."
Mr. Xun''s eyes are profound.
Ouyang and Linghu Zu looked silent, but they also felt guilty.
People are selfish.
On weekdays, I only think about myself, but this does not mean that they don’t understand some things.
Tai''a casts the spiritual sword and Chongxu cultivates the sword energy. These are all tangible and can be seen. What the two sects do can be seen.
But invisible things are the most dangerous.
Over the years, the efforts and sacrifices of Taixu Sect in the secret are the greatest.
If the head and elders at the level of the elders do not know the secrets of heaven, they may be able to make a few more quibblings, but they are ancestors who know the world of divine thoughts, which is the irrespectable horror.
They have not been to the sword tomb of Taixu Sect.
They also know how many people were buried there.
Mr. Xun finally glanced at the two of them silently and said in a deep voice:
"The convergence of the three sects is to advance and retreat together to cope with the great disaster and protect the foundation of our three sects."
"To put it bluntly, it can also be regarded as a compensation for the loss of my Taixu Sect in the way of divine thoughts over the years."
"What''s more, I don''t need to say more about the situation of your two sects now. Do you really want to watch the decline of your foundation?"
"And my Taixu Sect is different. Not to mention anything else, at least there is an ink painting above the formation, one handsome guy covers a hundred ugly things."
"My words are put here. The next formation first must be my Taixu Sect!"
"This is the situation, there is only one opportunity."
"I can still help you now. If I miss this opportunity and encounter a great disaster, I will be unable to do anything."
"You should understand in your heart how to choose..."
Mr. Xun''s expression was grim and his tone was decisive.
Ouyang and Linghu ancestors were silently pondering, speechless for a long time, and finally they could only sigh deeply.
…
An hour later, Mr. Xun returned to Taixu Sect, and a huge rock in his heart slowly fell down.
No matter what, it finally started.
The planning of these times is not disappointing.
Mr. Xun breathed a sigh of relief.
Another hour passed, Mo Hua came to Mr. Xun and asked for knowledge about formations on routine.
Mr. Xun nodded with relief when he saw that the ink painting had never been slackened and was still so diligent.
After asking for advice, the ink painting stopped talking.
"What''s wrong?" Mr. Xun asked.
"I..." Mo Hua whispered, "Don''t you really want to resign?"
Although he asked before, he still wanted to confirm again.
Mr. Xun naturally would not let him resign, but at this time, he happened to be a little leisurely and asked curiously:
"You don''t want to resign?"
"Yes." Mo Hua nodded.
It’s a bit embarrassing to reconcile, but mainly...
"If I resign, my junior brothers will become my ''senior brothers''."
The title of "Little Senior Brother" is hard-won, and I still value in ink painting.
Mr. Xun smiled slightly and said, "Don''t worry..."
He thought for a moment, and suddenly his heart moved, and said with a smile:
"One day, a junior brother, a junior brother for life, can''t change it, and maybe in a while, you can still be the junior brother of more people..."
"More young brothers?"
Mo Hua was stunned, a little confused, and didn''t understand what Mr. Xun meant.
For no reason, where can I find someone to be my junior brother?
