Hou Zi understood somewhat, "Is the opportunity mentioned by senior brother related to the upper realm?"
Xiang Zhiwen nodded, "I have news. I heard that there is a spiritual spring in Jishan. This is related to the Qiaoyin in my upper realm, so I came here to look for it.
Knowing that you are here, it is always more convenient if you are familiar with the road. If you really have the opportunity, you can help me take care of him."
Hou Zi was a little touched, knowing that the senior brother had a third level of intention that he didn't say, which was to let him get in touch with the spiritual spring, which might be helpful to the upper realm. He didn't have this feeling.
He must have feelings; but in fact, such magical jadeite is just a means to support his goals.
Everyone's bridge is different. What he doesn't need may not be needed by others.
I won’t point it out, just keep these things in mind, there is no need to talk about them all day long.
"I have been to Chicken Mountain because there were rumors that a strange monk appeared there, so I went to investigate, but found nothing.
We are not familiar with each other, so I walked around with my senior brother. I see there are many hot springs on Jishan Mountain, and there is always one suitable for my senior brother."
He asked cautiously, "Is there a strange monk?"
"Exactly, it has been reported by the villagers for more than two months and has not been confirmed yet; as you know, in Xiong'er Ground, all foreign monks need to make a note for temporary residence, but we have not received any request from the monks to stay in Jishan.
I didn't find this person before, so I thought the villagers were mistaken. But since my senior brother said so, if there really is a spiritual spring, we might not be the first ones to come here to look for opportunities. Maybe someone has been here long ago.
Where did this news come from, and is it reliable?"
He didn't shy away from asking, "It should be reliable. It was said by an uncle in the teaching. You also recognize Uncle Zheng and Zheng Shixie who led the team in Ximeng Mountain."
"Of course I remember him. Wasn't he punished and left at home?"
"It was precisely because I was idle at home that I had to go out and find some work. Master Zheng opened a lecture hall to learn Taoism, specifically for monks in the Lianqiao realm who encountered problems in the upper realm, to help them find their own bridges, provide consulting assistance, and experience
Teaching also has some effects,
After the lecture started, a few monks came out of his place and successfully entered the realm. As a result, they became famous and many monks flocked to him. For a time, he was even more proud than when he was in the Marshal's Mansion. Even the Marshal wanted to make a comeback.
, let him be responsible for the Shangjing professor of Jincheng disciples.
I have spent a lot of time in Lianqiaojing over the years, and I have never found a direction that suits me, so I went to the lecture hall to listen to a few lectures, and I was very impressed. Later, I found an opportunity to be taught privately by Master Zheng..."
"It cost a lot of spiritual stones, right?"
Xiang Zhiwen smiled bitterly, "Why don't you think about it? In the world of cultivation, apart from the direct master-disciple relationship, who is willing to help others for free? Provide you with opportunities and ways? Master Zheng told me about Jishan Lingquan in private, so I have this line of work."
Hou Zi was very surprised, "I didn't expect that Senior Uncle Zheng is not good at fighting, but he has a way of teaching people. It seems that everyone has their own direction. As long as they find the right direction, they may not be in trouble. If Senior Brother really benefits from this,
All our brothers will be very grateful to him."
Xiang Zhiwen felt a little ashamed, "Not everyone is like me and needs to ask for guidance when going to the border. People like Wang Mian Fang Yazi refuse to ask for help and find their own way out. Senior brother, I am not as good as them."
Hou Ting comforted him, "Actually, it's all the same. Senior brother, it's just that the process was delayed for a long time, so he found another way. For example, we are about to connect the bridge soon, and we are very high-spirited, thinking that we can't do anything just by working hard.
If I really wasted a few years on the matter like my senior brother, I'm afraid I will succumb to reality and find another way.
In fact, I think that whether you find it on your own or get advice from the elders of the disciples, as long as the goal is achieved, it is always good, so why bother to be rigid?
Well, when I have time to return to Jincheng one day, I will also go to Master Zheng's lecture hall to listen. There is no end to cultivation, and those who have mastered it are teachers, so why bother asking for trouble?"
His words were not entirely meant to comfort Xiang Zhiwen, but also what he was thinking in his heart. He did not have any so-called mysophobia when it came to foreign objects and foreign teachers. The way to practice was to gradually accumulate on the basis of the predecessors and enter the Tao from others.
Who has not learned from his predecessors every step of the way? Without these predecessors, he would still be a public criminal in a small town, struggling under the corrupt government system.
"Wang Mian, Fang Yazi, can't even connect to a bridge? Have you ever been sent to other places?"
Speaking of these parades, Xiang Zhiwen was in a much better mood, "It's not just Wang Mianyazi, but also Dou Gong, Tu Xiu, Li Jingxi, Feng Yaochen, Xu Geng, Yao He... we old brothers
Basically, they all go up to the bridge, which is unique among all the places in Jincheng. When did they say that Yinling became a blessed place?
It's also because there are so many people coming up that the Marshal's Mansion doesn't have so many places to arrange at the moment, so we have to wait a little longer."
Hou Tzu was very happy. All his friends were here and he was not left behind. This was the happiest thing during the practice. Otherwise, he would be alone and his friends would gradually disperse. Such sadness would not be relieved.
"Whether you stay in Yinling, you can continue to climb up. One day, after everyone passes Tongxuan, wouldn't it be wonderful to fly back to the old place of Yinling and visit again?"
The two chatted while drinking, and the long night seemed shorter; in the darkness before dawn, after having had enough wine and food, after finishing their morning classes, Hou Zi stood up and
"Let's set off now. It will be dawn when we arrive at Jishan, which is convenient for climbing. Let's see, who is the holy one who can beat you and my brothers?"
The two brothers walked hand in hand, and the journey of more than ten miles passed by in a flash. Looking at the Jishan Mountain completely shrouded in clouds and mist, Xiang Zhiwen took a breath of cold air.
"Junior brother, this Chicken Mountain is a bit steep."
Hou Zi smiled and said: "It looks dangerous, but it is actually surrounded by fog, which makes people feel uncertain. I have been here once, and as long as we don't show hostility, the mountain beasts here are actually very friendly.
Uncle Zheng said there is a chance here, but did he indicate the location clearly?"
Xiang Zhiwen shook his head, "I didn't say, I just said it was in the spiritual springs of Jishan. I don't know which one exactly? Junior brother, how many spiritual springs are there here?"
Hou Ting thought for a while, "I didn't find the spiritual spring you mentioned, but there are quite a few ordinary mountain springs and hot springs, as many as ten. Of course, I didn't check carefully. Anyway, we have plenty of time and Jishan is not big, so we
It only takes a few days to find them one by one."
This time when we went to Jishan, we became much more familiar with the route. The two of them searched together more closely, but as he said, most of these springs were ordinary mountain springs and hot springs, and had nothing to do with spiritual springs.
A few days later, they searched the entire Chicken Mountain thoroughly, not missing a single thing, but still found nothing.
Hou Zi sighed, "Senior brother, only the big cave on the mountainside has not been penetrated to the bottom. If there is a chance, it will probably be there."
