One night ten days later, the four patrol guards gathered together before dusk, which was rare. They also took out wine and food and placed them on the broken stone table in front of Jian Mansion.
I called Hou Zi who was practicing, and Master Pang Pang had a serious look on his face.
"There is news from Jinchengzhou Mansion. The secret agents have confirmed that what you said is true. Therefore, I, the Quanzhen Sect, approve your registration qualifications.
Tomorrow morning you, Mr. Luo, happen to be going to Jincheng for business, so just let him go. This journey will not be peaceful, so it is always safer to follow him. Your level is still a bit low and worrying."
Hou Ting was silent. He had known that such a day would come, but when this day actually came, he didn't expect that instead of feeling relieved, he felt disappointed?
Ten days ago, the mood that he wished he could cut off all these dog heads with a knife was gone now. For some reason, everything in Jiangyou was changing his mind in a subtle way.
This is very scary for a person who takes law as his nature and is determined. Is this the power of the magic gate to deceive people?
In the contacts with these people, apart from being unreasonable and brutal at the beginning, these four uncles still have a strong character. Even if they don't have much communication, they have never caused trouble behind their backs.
There is no hatred or kindness, so there is no need to explain too much. If he doesn't want to talk, the four of them may not be willing to listen.
They prefer to use their swords rather than their mouths.
He stood up, picked up the wine, and said, "We meet again on the right side of the Yangtze River, and our lives are uncertain. If everything goes well in Jincheng, I will have the opportunity to discuss the wine with you senior fellow apprentices again."
After that, he drank it all in one gulp, and each of the four of them also had a drink with him.
He has only been cleared of suspicion now, but he is not a disciple of Quanzhen. If he joins the sect, he will be a senior brother and will naturally have a future; if he cannot join the sect, then there will be no mention of it and it will be nothing more than fate.
I felt that the atmosphere was still a bit dull, which meant that everyone's acquaintance was not pleasant. The four uncles felt a little bit sorry and couldn't let go, so they smiled slightly and said,
"I dare not ask you for help. We are all straightforward and straightforward people, but I have learned a lot from the truth. If there are any taboos and what I need to pay attention to, I hope you can tell me one by one so that I don't make any more jokes."
A good rhetoric can provide a way for everyone to reconcile, a stage that everyone can accept, and it is still within the capabilities of the elders.
Master Pang Pang chuckled, "When it comes to the conditions for my Quanzhen apprenticeship, we still have some say.
The Quanzhen sect is the oldest sect in the Splendid Continent, no one! Other sects of Taoism and Buddhism only appeared later, and even began to emerge after the inspiration of heaven and earth was revealed, but our Quanzhen sect was before the inspiration emerged.
It’s been around for thousands of years.”
Listening to Master Pang talking about history with an air of pride, Hou Zi couldn't explain it: it's so long and ancient, why is it that it's getting better and better now? Not only did it not sweep the entire continent, but it was surpassed by Taoism and Buddhism, and was even surpassed by Taoism and Buddhism.
Is it classified as a magic sect? Does the word "magic" sound good?
Mr. Pang Pang kept talking about the glorious history of Quanzhen, and after a long time he returned to the topic.
"Quanzhen's recruitment is different from that of the Taoist sect. The Taoist sect looks at qualifications, potential, realm, age, and maybe a little bit of character; but Quanzhen's recruitment does not look at age, nor does it value the so-called qualifications and potential, because these things
There is no conclusion.
We only look at one thing, that is the courage of the sword!"
Mr. Pang Pang picked up the teacup in a leisurely manner, and Mr. Lu took over the conversation.
"The Quanzhen Sect is a demon sect in the eyes of their Taoist sect, but in terms of skills, we are also called the Sword Sect!
Cultivation has different directions and different paths lead to the same goal, but there is only one way for us to express our skills: the sword!
Some people think that we have deviated from the essence of spiritual practice, but this is the truth!
The sword has five realms: courage, heart, intention, power, and soul!
Let’s not talk about it in the next few stages, but for every Quanzhen disciple who is just starting out, you must have a sword courage, otherwise you will not be able to get the true meaning of the sword. This is related to the mind and will, and cannot be forced or relied on.
Something you can get through practice.
Without sword courage, even if you are extremely talented and rare in the world, you still won’t be able to achieve perfection!”
Hou Zi had an idea in his mind. No wonder the Quanzhen sect was called the Demon Sect by the Taoist sect, and its behavior was indeed perverse and extreme. It was also no wonder that the power of the Quanzhen sect did not flourish along with its history. It was a ghost if this character and temper could be flourished.
In this world, after all, most people like peace and stability, and how many people are born to like to fight and kill? The so-called murderers are all caused by their growth experience, that is another matter.
This alone will miss countless outstanding talents. No wonder it cannot grow even after thousands of years of development.
The choice is too niche, which means they do not have the basic base to grow and develop.
Luo Shusheng said: "Every monk who participates in the Quanzhen sect's admission test probably knows what they are about to face, so there is no shortage of cruel and easy-to-kill people; they probably think that they have the courage to sword after killing a few people.
Yes, this is wrong.
Sword courage is not murderous! It may include your philosophy, courage, fearlessness, unyielding and other comprehensive things. It is difficult to explain it with an accurate word. If you understand it, you will understand it. If you don't understand it, you will never understand it.
There will be a Master Tongxuan who will be responsible for your entrance screening, because many of the people who come to join are long-famous giant thieves. Either they are sincere, or they just want to escape something or gain something by joining Quanzhen...
Like the few people we killed in the poplar forest, they actually wanted to worship Quanzhen! We can accept you, but we cannot accept these people whose hands are filled with the blood of innocent people.
But on the surface, due to the rules of Quanzhen that have been passed down for thousands of years, we can't change anything, and it's impossible to kill all these garbage practitioners privately!
Therefore, even if you really join us, we cannot guarantee that all Quanzhen disciples will treat their fellow disciples and the weak as kindly as we do.
This is why we are called the Demon Sect. For some people, it is heaven, for some people, it is hell!"
Fourth Master Liang finally spoke, "It's all nonsense, it's useless; if you ask me to tell you, just do it. Being accepted is not necessarily a blessing, being rejected is not necessarily a disaster, why bother thinking so much?"
Come on, come on, it’s better to drink, it will relieve a thousand worries.”
A few people began to exchange cups and cups, no longer worrying about getting started. Liang Laosi's words were rude or not, and they made sense. The key was to see whether Quanzhen was suitable for his temperament. There was no point in thinking about it.
After getting drunk with wine, Boss Pang took out a sword and handed it over, "Since you have Zhi Quanzhen, it is not appropriate to carry a sword, so let's switch to a sword.
There is a well on the right side of the river, and the sword has its own spirit. This sword was buried underground by the shop owner for inheritance. It was bought by our brothers and given to you. It can also be regarded as a tribute to the poplar forest.
Just take it."
Hou Zi knew that he could not refuse such a thing, so he accepted it happily, and the others continued drinking until they staggered around.
Scholar Luo sat leaning back and murmured:
...A sword is buried on the right side of the river, and the water and soil nourish the essence of gold. The sword is hidden deep in the nine places, and it can only be used after a hundred years. When the fighting spirit is born, it comes out of the box to make a dragon roar. A strong man wears it on his waist, and he travels thousands of miles lightly.
