Ziluo Kingdom is a barren place for cultivating immortals in the Great World of Seven Immortals. It has a beautiful environment but few resources. Therefore, the four major sects and even the larger cultivating families are too lazy to come here.
There is a small city in the southeast, called Anxi City, named after the Anxi River that meanders outside the city. To the left of Anxi, there is a small mountain covered with green bamboos, so it is called Zhushan.[]
Zhushan is only a hundred feet high, but standing on the top of the mountain and overlooking the endless green mountains makes people feel relaxed and happy. Therefore, the quiet bamboo forest on the top of Zhushan has become an excellent place for monks in Anxi City and nearby to talk about Taoism.
.
On this day, there were more than a dozen Qi-entraining monks leisurely in the bamboo forest, drinking tea and talking to each other about Taoism and magic techniques. Behind them stood dozens of disciples to wait on them.
However, their communication is only superficial. Because they are already the highest cultivators here, Anxi City is so big, and the nearby resources are so scarce. If they exchange their experiences, what benefits will the other party gain from practicing, and what will they suffer?
It's not me, so they are all false stories about mysticism. In the past, those monks who nourished their qi and left their bodies would have real communication.
At this time, a green light fell on the top of the mountain, and a young monk wearing a green robe appeared. He had an average appearance, a restrained temperament, and looked ordinary.
But the sudden light just now made the dozen or so Qi-Entraining Realm monks tremble with fear. It was definitely not something that the Qi-Entraining Realm could achieve, so they pushed out the three leading monks, walked up to the young man, and asked respectfully:
"I wonder what's going on, senior, when you come to Zhushan, Anxi City? Can we help?"
Shi Xuan smiled and said: "I passed by this place on the road and saw that the scenery here is lovely, so I wanted to build a thatched cottage here, open a Taoist temple, and teach Taoism."
The three leading monks looked at each other in confusion. They all thought that Shi Xuan came to Anxi City to seize their resources and establish a sect. If Shi Xuan was only in the Qi Entraining Realm, they would definitely swarm him and beat him to death. But looking at Shi Xuan's posture, I'm afraid he might have
At the level of magical power, one of the middle-aged men had no choice but to smile bitterly and said: "I wonder how much you, senior, need from us? Please tell me clearly so that we can be prepared."
But another monk who looked like a young master suddenly had an idea and immediately saluted: "I wonder if the senior will recruit disciples after opening the dojo? The junior Wan Chengfeng is willing to follow the senior."
I despise the middle-aged man Zhang Liu in my heart. He is such a big and thick tube. I don’t want to hug him, but I treat him like a god of plague. His vision is too narrow. The senior is in the realm of supernatural powers and can compete with other big cities in Ziluo Kingdom.
Already.
Shi Xuan shook his head and said: "The poor Taoist does not need to make offerings, nor does he accept disciples. After the Taoist temple is opened, anyone who is willing to come and listen can come and listen."
Not only the three leading monks, but also the other ten or so Qi-entraining monks and dozens of Qi-nurturing and out-of-body disciples all felt that their ears were hallucinating, so they refused to accept any offerings or establish a sect to recruit disciples.
The Dharma is taught, which is something they can hardly dream of.
You must know that for these monks, there is no need to think about the skills of the Dharma and the Yuanshen. If you have money, you can't buy them. The skills of the golden elixir realm are hung in the high cabinets of major business houses as the treasures of their stores.
Things that are not of great benefit will not be sold at all. Even the secrets of the magical realm are something that a monk in the Qi Entraining Realm may not be able to afford even if he has no chance to save them for a lifetime.
Shi Xuan was too lazy to tell them, and just said: "Tomorrow at the beginning of the morning, Pindao will give a lecture here. If you are willing to come, please come when the time comes. Pindao will only speak for one hour, and you will not wait if it is late.
I would like to ask a few fellow Taoists to tell this matter to the monks near Anxi City."
Then Shi Xuan waved his hand, and dozens of green bamboos jumped out of the bamboo forest.
It transformed into a small bamboo hut.
Seeing Shi Xuan slowly entering the bamboo hut, these monks came to their senses. You looked at me and I looked at you, speechless for a while.
Zhang Liu was the oldest and the most stable. Seeing everyone's silence, he was the first to speak: "Do you think this is true? I don't think there is such a good thing. How can you tell others about good exercises so casually, and not
Accept him as a disciple! I’m afraid there is a conspiracy.”
Wan Chengfeng said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Zhang, you are too petty. What would the senior monk in the spiritual power realm want from you? What do you have that is worthy of his conspiracy? But having said that, tomorrow's lecture on Taoism will not be the same for me.
I don’t think it’s true, how can such a good thing happen? But I just can’t understand the intention of my senior.”
More than a dozen other Qi-entraining realm monks expressed this attitude, and then Zhang Liu said: "In this case, I will not come tomorrow, but I still have to do what the seniors ordered. I will go down the mountain immediately and post this matter at the city gate.
"
"Well, I won't come either." Wan Chengfeng agreed.
"Yes, yes, who wants to come so early?" The monk named Yang immediately agreed.
The Qi-entraining monk surnamed Li nodded and said.
"That's right, it's better to practice at home."
In Qijia Village, several monks in the Qi-nourishing stage were practicing boxing, and a monk in the out-of-body stage was guiding them next to them.
"Dad, eldest brother, senior brother, good news, good news." A boy of seventeen or eighteen years old ran over from a distance.
The monk in the out-of-body stage said with a cold face! "Zicai, where has the calmness and calmness that I taught you on weekdays gone?
Qi Zicai ran to Qi Nan and gasped: "Dad, what good news. There is a notice posted at the gate of the city, saying that at Mao tomorrow, there will be a senior teaching Taoism publicly on the top of Zhushan Mountain.
Maybe they will talk about the method of breaking through and attracting spiritual energy out of the body, so you don’t have to save money to buy elixirs and dare not break through to attract spiritual energy."
"Third brother, do you believe this kind of thing? Who would teach his Taoism to unrelated strangers without any problem? I think it is probably a kid from the family of the dozen or so Qi-entraining realm seniors who is making fun of everyone." Qi Ziyan
I don’t believe the news about Qi Zicai at all.
Qi Fu also said with a straight face: "Believing in these illusory things is better than practicing down-to-earth practice."
Qi Zicai felt extremely aggrieved when he saw that no one believed in him: "It's really written on the notice, I didn't just hear it. Forget it, if you don't believe it, I'll go by myself!"
Scenes like this happened in Anxi City and all nearby places.
The night sky was dark, and the crescent moon was still hanging in the sky, but there were already some monks on Zhushan Mountain.
"Hey, Fellow Daoist Zhang, didn't you say you can't come?"
"Haha, fellow Taoist Wan, you are the same, you can't say it, but you didn't come secretly." Zhang Liu said with a smile.
"Haha, it's just a waste of time anyway, why don't you come and have a look, Fellow Daoist Li, Fellow Daoist Yang, you think so too, right?" Wan Chengfeng regarded this matter as a test for his seniors, so he kept urging everyone not to come, but the result was unexpected.
Qi Realm monks always say nice things with their mouths, but they understand everything in their stomachs!
Everyone laughed, cleared the matter, and headed to the top of the mountain.
When Qi Zicai arrived at the top of Zhushan Mountain, it was almost midnight. He had gone out early, but his cultivation level was too low. He walked up the mountain at night and wasted a lot of time.
"Wow, there are so many people." Qi Zicai looked at the hundreds of monks on the top of the mountain and opened his mouth. It seems that many of them would rather believe that they have it than that they don't have it. If it's wrong, it's just a wasted trip, if it's right, it's an opportunity.
.
The top of the Zhushan Mountain is very wide, and the open space plus the bamboo forest can accommodate tens of thousands of monks. So even though there were hundreds of monks, Qi Zicai easily found an open space and sat down on it.
When the crescent moon moved a little further to the west, the door of the bamboo hut opened with a creak. Under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes, Shi Xuan slowly walked out, came to a big rock, and flew up directly.
Sit cross-legged.
Without any preamble, Shi Xuan talked about the physical exercise in "The Jade Book of Refining Humanity to Immortality at the End of the Earth",
The content of nourishing qi is combined with some of the inheritance of Zhenren Xuanri.
Shi Xuan's voice was not loud, but Qi Zicai, who was sitting at the back, could hear it clearly. The contradictory sound of clear and low sounds seemed to ring in everyone's ears.
When they heard that it was about exercising and nourishing Qi, the monks who were out of body and entraining Qi were a little dismissive. But as Shi Xuan's explanation gradually deepened, they all changed from hunched over to straightened upper bodies, with focused expressions.
As for Shen Mi, he only felt that what Shi Xuan said was straightforward and simple, but he answered the questions one by one that had troubled him for many years but had ignored them as he advanced, which gave him a sense of superiority.
Out-of-body and qi-inducing monks are like this, and those who exercise and nourish qi are even worse. Qi Zicai was fascinated by what he heard. He felt that this senior was countless times better than his father. If his father could explain it so clearly, he would probably be the same.
I have already advanced to nourish my Qi.
On the top of the entire Bamboo Mountain, there are only the rustling sounds caused by the night wind blowing through the bamboo leaves and the steady and slow voice of Shi Xuan's narration. In contrast to these two sounds, the top of the mountain seems particularly quiet.
I don’t know when, dozens of various birds stopped on the bamboo branches, and many animals came to the darkness of the bamboo forest. A kitten with pure white hair was actually separated from a gray-haired golden squirrel.
Qingzhu squatted, peacefully, as if listening to Shi Xuan's sermon. In the darkness behind them, there were mighty tigers and beautiful white foxes...
There wasn't much intelligence in their eyes, and they didn't look like they could understand. They seemed to be just squatting and listening to the voice that seemed to go straight into their hearts.
The crescent moon gradually set, and a red sun rose in the east. Shi Xuan stopped preaching and said to the quiet monks below: "That's it for today. Come back tomorrow."
The monks seemed to wake up from a sweet dream, feeling disappointed, but they quickly came to their senses and thanked Shi Xuan with a big gift. Shi Xuan ignored their salutes and went straight back to the bamboo hut.
The animals stayed there for a while and then left.
On the way down the mountain, the monk surnamed Yang said coldly to the other Qi-entraining monks: "It seems that the seniors are really teaching Taoism. Should we ban those low-level monks from going up the mountain?"
Wan Chengfeng was silent for a while and said: "No, the senior has made it clear that if he annoys him, he will be beaten. Fellow Taoist Yang, are you willing to give up? Or are you not confident that you can understand more than the low-level monks? You can't advance faster than me.
them?"
The other Qi-entraining monks were silent and could only let it go.
