Yue Luo said softly from the side: "I heard from the teacher that after the seals were put in, most of them have never been changed except for a very small part."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and nodded slightly. This was consistent with what he thought.
In addition to the Xuanxiu seals passed down by predecessors, there are also those created by later cultivators themselves.
However, the deduction by one person will inevitably be incomplete, so many monks will choose to print these defective seals into Xuanzhu to show others.
Colleagues who are interested can go there, make deductions and improve it, or communicate with other colleagues, and in the process, more seals will be born.
If Xuan Xiu continues to place the deduced seal on the Xuan Pillar, it will inspire more people and even promote the further improvement of the seal. This should be a virtuous circle.
But such an ideal situation can actually only occur under the deliberate guidance of Xuanfu or under a relatively relaxed environment.
After all, most monks are not willing to show off the seals they have worked so hard to derive.
What's more, there are monks who secretly rely on Xiangchentian in the outer layer. Although Xiangchentian does not necessarily require mysterious methods, knowing these seals means that you know your way, and you can find it.
There's a way to crack it.
Therefore, the seal on the Xuanzhu now only expresses the monk's initial idea or question, and has not been refined through deduction, so it is called the "Old Missing Seal".
However, even the missing seal can still inspire people.
He already has some ideas on how to climb to the upper realm. One thing he needs to do is to complete the visualization diagram. However, none of the seals can be used directly. He needs to figure out and complete them by himself.
, just like he had perfected the Xuanhun Cicada visualization diagram by observing those spiritual aliens, so in his opinion, these seals also have their value.
Yue Zhong stopped the carriage at this time. He walked closer, bowed slightly and said, "Zhang Xuanxiu, I'm taking Xiaoluo to meet her teacher. I wonder where Xuanxiu is going?"
Zhang Yudao: "I'm here for a walk. I would like to thank Mr. Yue for giving me a ride." He took out a jade slip from the purple star bag and handed it out, "This is what I wrote about searching for mysteries."
You might as well take a look at your experience.”
Yue Zhong's eyes lit up, and at the same time he felt a little pity. In fact, he would rather Zhang Yu didn't give him anything, so that he could have more contacts in the future with this good relationship, but he also knew that a person should not be greedy, but also know how to understand.
Realizing his interest, he stretched out his hands to take it, then bowed respectfully and said, "Then we won't disturb Zhang Xuanxiu."
After saluting, he turned to Yue Luo and said, "Daughter, let's go."
Yue Luo also wished Zhang Yu a blessing and followed her father to the palace.
After Zhang Yu separated from the father and daughter, he walked over to Xuan Zhu.
There were also several Xuan cultivators standing under the Xuan Pillar, but it seemed that they were not of high cultivation, and most of them were low-ranking monks. When they saw Zhang Yu approaching, they all saluted and bowed their hands, and took the initiative to get out of the way.
After all, no matter how much the Qi of Zhang Yu is covered by the cloak, he is still at the level of a four-chapter monk. Among Xuan Xiu, he is definitely considered to be close to the top group.
Zhang Yu nodded in return, and then stood still under the Xuanzhu. He looked up and sensed it for a moment. In a moment, he saw densely packed seals emerging from the Xuanzhu, which could be said to be countless at the same time.
However, this mysterious pillar has been standing here for more than three hundred years, so it is normal to have so many seals.
It's just that most of the seals are of no use to him. He just plans to find the seals that can inspire him.
While he was watching, a Taoist with a vicissitudes of face came over, looked at him and said, "Is this the first time you have returned here, fellow Taoist?"
Zhang Yu glanced at him and said: "Exactly."
The Taoist sighed with emotion: "It's not a coincidence that my Taoist friend came here. In the past hundreds of years, even though there was a lack of Taoist seals here, all kinds of strange and wonderful ideas emerged in an endless stream, but now it is different."
Zhang Yudao: "What's the difference?"
The Taoist shook his head and sighed: "After a few of my profound cultivators have reached the upper realm, many monks want to follow the methods of their predecessors, or hope to become those disciples after making meritorious deeds.
Even his disciples are willing to become his disciples, so now many people no longer have the intention to study Taoism."
Zhang Yu thought about it for a while, but he didn't think these Taoist cultivators were short-sighted. Although each person has his or her own path, there are methods to follow, and it is not necessary to pursue one's own path.
Isn’t even true cultivation passed down in this way?
The key here is to recognize yourself clearly. If you think you don't have this talent, it is safer to go this way.
And if you really have the intention to strengthen the mysterious method, then there is no need to sigh long and short. If you have this spare time, you might as well look up and look forward, and try to carve out a path for others to pursue.
Seeing that he didn't answer, the Taoist shook his head repeatedly, sighed a few times, and then left.
Zhang Yuze watched carefully here. Unknowingly, the sky gradually dimmed, his robes were swaying in the evening breeze, and in the Chuixing Palace behind him, little stars lit up. Outside the main hall, there were seven
The small hall is all shining brightly, and under the night sky, it really looks like stars falling into the world.
After the night completely covered the sky, he withdrew his gaze, turned around and walked towards the palace.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see a bright light coming towards you. The inside of the hall is as bright as day. Compared with the deserted and empty space outside, it seems quite noisy here.
In the tall and majestic hall decorated with glazed jade, there were many monks in exquisite mysterious clothes sitting or standing. They gathered in twos and threes and communicated with each other with great interest. However, when he glanced over, these monks were seen.
Most of the people are disciples who have just cultivated the light of the heart. Well, there are some people who have just started.
He listened to a few words. These young disciples rarely exchanged their spiritual experiences, but mostly talked about fun and novel topics.
But he doesn't think there's anything wrong with it. A young and vigorous life is qualified to pursue these things. If he hadn't reincarnated in another life and had a higher pursuit of life, he might also join them.
He stepped forward, passed through the huge pillars, and walked to the altar on one side of the hall. The guard in charge of the palace immediately saw that he was of extraordinary origin and took the initiative to greet him.
This man was in his thirties, wearing an ancient suit with wide sleeves, a round face and a beard. He looked kind-hearted. When he came closer, he bowed his hands to Zhang Yu and said respectfully: "This Xuanxiu, you are going to be here."
Are you staying in the palace?"
Zhang Yudao: "Exactly."
Guan Wei asked: "I wonder if Xuanxiu wants to go to the palace or go down to the palace?"
Zhang Yudao: "It's better to go to the palace."
He had learned before that the upper palace of Chuixing Palace and Luzi Hall had a wide view, and the convenience of cultivation was far better than other places. Moreover, there was a black pillar in each upper palace, and the seals on it were left by the monks who lived here before.
.
Those who can live here are not just as simple as observing and reading the fourth chapter of the book, but they also have a background, so that he can learn from it.
As for the expenses required to live in the upper palace, as Xuanting's envoy, all expenses are now borne by Xuanting. Of course, there is a certain limit here every year, but after he goes to the outer layer, he almost still has to pay for it.
I haven't spent a penny on my own, but I have a lot of income, so there is no shortage of gold and dollars.
Guan Wei replied: "Now that the upper palaces of Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, and Tianquan are all occupied, Yaoguang Palace has been reserved in advance, and only Yuheng and Kaiyang Palaces have been reserved.
There are still two places left in the palace, which one is Xuanxiu’s favorite?”
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and felt that the name of Kaiyang was destined for him, so he said: "Then let's go to Kaiyang Palace."
The guard looked after a very capable servant behind him and said, "Luo Mao, take this Xuanxiu to Kaiyangzi Palace."
The waiter first bowed to Zhang Yu, then stepped aside and said with a gesture: "Xuan Xiu, please come this way."
Zhang Yu nodded and followed him.
The young xuanxiu in the hall noticed the commotion among them, and started asking each other about it.
"Who was that guru just now? I asked the tour guard to come forward in person, but does anyone recognize it?"
"I have never seen him before. Judging from his appearance, he is probably a master in the realm of Xuanhe."
"That's natural. Among the monks who can live in the upper palace of Chuixing Palace, which one is not a master with advanced cultivation? If you fellow Taoists have not seen him before, then they probably come from the inner level."
The disciples deeply believed that the people who occupied each palace had great backgrounds. Not to mention their cultivation, the daily expenses of staying in the palace were not something that ordinary people could afford.
One disciple sighed: "Oh, I am so envious."
A disciple next to him smiled and patted him on the shoulder, saying: "Brother Zhu Dao, why should you be envious? He is practicing so hard that he may one day settle in the Shang Palace in the future."
The disciple surnamed Zhu sighed and said: "How difficult is cultivation? I have been blocking my path of searching for mysteries for many years, but I can't get over it. Now I am twenty-five years old. My Taoist teacher told me that in ten years
If it doesn’t work out after that, I’ll have to send my younger brother to a certain planet to be a regular garrison, maybe he’ll be like this for the rest of his life.”
After hearing this, most of the people present felt anxious and worried about the future.
They are all underappreciated disciples. In the future, most of them will be sent to a small planet like this disciple named Zhu to be a garrison in the state. However, those truly elite disciples are now following their master.
, they are destined to take two paths in the future.
At this moment, in the Tianshu Palace of the Zi Palace, a young monk in silver robes is sitting by the pool. From time to time, he throws down some bait and feeds the golden carp swimming in the pool. His face is like that of many monks with advanced cultivation.
Although he was generally handsome and flawless, what was particularly eye-catching was his eyes, which looked misty, blurry, and unfathomable.
At this time, a young monk came to the back and said: "Brother Taoist Master, have you heard that another fellow Taoist has settled in the upper palace of Kaiyangzi Palace?"
The monk surnamed Master did not turn around, but just hummed and said, "I wonder what the origin is?"
He flicked his wrist and threw out the bait. A golden carp jumped up high and swallowed it first. Then it swung its tail and stayed in the air for a moment before falling into the water with a splash, causing a large splash.
The young monk glanced at him, then withdrew his gaze and said, "The interesting thing is here. We have never seen this person before. Maybe he is from the inner level just like the Taoist brother."
The monk surnamed Master said calmly: "That's not bad. In two days, I will be able to have an extra helping hand when discussing the Dharma with fellow Taoists from Guangsheng Palace."
The young monk smiled and said: "We talk about 'Xuanzhen Discussing Dharma' every year, but in the past ten years we have lost every time, but this time with you, my Taoist brother, our chances of winning are much greater.
"
The monk surnamed Master did not speak, but flicked his sleeves. In an instant, all the golden carps in the pond turned into light spots and dissipated. Even the large pond of water disappeared together. Opposite him, there was only a smooth wall.
