There are still a few days until the Immortal Ascension Ceremony.
In the past few days, Zhang Heng and Hua Rou lived on Zehu Island, quietly watching the world and concentrating on Taoism in their dreams.
Hua Rou.
Zhang Heng ignored her.
She would go out early and come back late every day, either wandering around the free market or going to restaurants and teahouses to sit around and listen to people talking about the North and the South.
A few days later.
It really made her famous.
She can always select some treasures in the market that are of higher value but have relatively average prices.
I bought three or five spiritual stones and sold them for ten spiritual stones.
Zhang Heng gave her several hundred spirit stones, which doubled in the blink of an eye. Her pockets were bulging, she became more confident, and she made many friends while wandering around.
"granduncle..."
Come back in the evening.
Hua Rou was sitting on the bed, with spiritual stones placed in a pile, magic weapons placed in a pile, and precious medicines placed in a pile.
While taking stock of how much he earned today, he said to Zhang Heng: "I made a few more friends today. They are all very talented. I think as long as I give them time, they will definitely be able to accomplish something in the future."
"affim?"
Zhang Heng sat cross-legged in front of the incense burner.
Surrounded by cigarette smoke, he laughed when he heard the sound: "A centipede with hundreds of legs can't move as fast as a snake; a chicken has big wings and can't fly as fast as a bird; a horse can travel a thousand miles, but no one can go there by itself; a person has the ambition to reach the clouds, but he can't reach it without luck.
As fate would have it, there are many talented people but few who can achieve anything, so nothing is certain."
Hua Rou was said to be a little depressed.
Then he turned his eyes and thought of the anecdotes he had heard in the past few days, and asked Zhang Heng: "Uncle, I heard that there was a man who came from a prominent family and was born with double pupils. His mother dug out a piece of gold for him from his brother.
Immortal Bone, you said that such a person will definitely have great achievements in the future, right?"
Zhang Heng shook his head.
"There is no better relationship than family ties."
"For one's own benefit, digging up the bones of relatives to achieve one's own achievements, how can heaven, earth, or man tolerate this person? These three calamities cannot be passed through."
Hua Rou smiled and said: "Uncle, do you know that the person I am talking about is the first son of the Qin State, Bai Yi of the Bai family. Since the death of Bai Qi, the ancestor of the Bai family, everyone has said that Bai Yi can lead the Bai family to glory again.
people."
Zhang Heng refused to accept this: "I only know that misfortunes and fortunes come in turns, both blessings and calamities."
Hua Rou is thoughtful.
After thinking for a while, he added: "Uncle, Zhao Xuanji, the Prime Minister of the State of Zhao, is said to be a true immortal. He is deeply trusted by the King of Zhao. He has served as a general and became a prime minister. He is a very popular minister. It is said that he has a son named Zhao Yi, who was born
There was a dragon roaring at the time. In order to avoid suspicion, Zhao Xuanji shot his wife and then deposed his son to show his devotion to the country. What do you think of such a person?"
Zhang Heng replied.
"There is no greater love than that of children."
"If your children are not close to you, who can get close to you?"
"The King of Zhao appointed Zhao Xuanji as the Prime Minister, and it seemed that he had great trust, but he asked himself, who would not be more careful about someone who kills his wife and abandons his son?"
"Although I have not seen Zhao Xuanji, I can conclude that Zhao Xuanji will die an unexpected death one day and will not end well."
Hua Rou was stunned for a moment.
She has been traveling around Zedao these days, chatting with friends.
Unexpectedly, what everyone considers a great figure in the world is nothing more than mediocre in Zhang Heng's eyes.
Think about it.
Hua Rou thought of another person and asked: "Grandmaster, Dongfang Gu, the current sect leader of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, was originally a veteran true immortal. In order to go further, he practiced magical skills and changed his gender from male to female. Now he is known as the number one person in the Earthly Immortal Realm.
, who is said to be an immortal and no one can compete with him. Such a person can be called an outstanding person, right?"
Zhang Heng still shook his head.
"Nothing is more important than oneself."
“How can you love someone who doesn’t even love yourself?
"Dongfang Gu succeeded in this way, but it was just a big gamble. As the saying goes, nine times out of ten you bet, you lose. If you bet once, you taste the sweetness, and you want to bet a second time."
"Human follows Heaven, Heaven follows Tao, and Tao follows nature. Transforming from male to female, reversing oneself, is just a sideways move. How can it be the foundation of the world?"
Between a few words.
Zhang Heng then denied all the heroes that Hua Rou had heard in the past few days and were sung by various parties.
But if you think about it carefully, what Zhang Heng said makes sense.
Human affection.
Human love.
The importance of human kindness.
Possessing relatives, children, and oneself.
Those who do not love the three can be described as beasts.
"Uncle, who in your eyes can be called a hero?"
Hua Rou thought that her great-uncle was arrogant.
Perhaps in his heart, all living beings in the world are just mediocre, and very few can catch his eye.
"Who can be called a hero?"
Zhang Heng thought for a while and said to Hua Rou: "Your friend Yuan Wen can do it."
"Yuan Wen?"
Hua Rou was stunned for a moment.
I felt a little stupid for a moment: "Uncle, how do you know that I have a friend named Yuan Wen? Aren't you always monitoring me?"
Zhang Heng shook his head: "It's not to spy on you, but to show my dream, which is enough to cover a hundred miles, with Zehu Island as the center. You all live under my eyes. What you said and what you did, my heart is like a mirror."
, when it comes to surveillance, it’s not just about you.”
Well...
Hua Rou was speechless for a moment.
But thinking about the entire Zehu Island, and even every move within a hundred miles, was under Zhang Heng's eyes and he had a panoramic view.
Hua Rou felt uncomfortable all over.
"what's on your mind?"
Seeing Hua Rou's face changing again and again, Zhang Heng said angrily: "I use the mind of heaven to empathize with people's hearts, see all living beings, and observe all kinds of conditions in the world. This is cultivation, not abnormality."
Hua Rou smiled awkwardly.
But deep down in her heart, the word "Heaven's heart embodies the heart's heart" has been labeled a pervert by her.
In the future, if someone says that he has a heavenly mind, Hua Rou will subconsciously regard him as a pervert.
"Uncle, let's not talk about this anymore."
Hua Rou thought that her friend Yuan Wen could catch Zhang Heng's eye, so she asked enthusiastically: "Yuan Wen is about the same age as me, but he is just starting out. It is not certain whether he can become a disciple of the Huangshi Sect. What is unique about him?
Can I make you look at me differently, uncle?"
Zhang Heng replied: "Yuan Wen came from a humble background and was a slave of the Yuan family. However, he has been unwilling to be ordinary since he was a child. When he saw a half-move of swordsmanship, he practiced all day long with a wooden stick and did not change it for three years. He was really impressive.
He has figured out some tricks, which shows that he has excellent understanding and extraordinary perseverance."
"Later, Yuan's family was robbed by robbers, but he was able to stand up and not be afraid of danger. This shows that he has a kind nature and a heart to repay."
"Wait until the bandit chaos subsides, then discuss and appreciate the merits."
"Yuan Wen didn't ask for anything. He just said that the kindness of the Yuan family in raising him all these years has been repaid, and he rejected the Yuan family's idea of recruiting him as his son-in-law after seeing that he was smart and capable. This is not a love for the world."
"Finally, when I heard that the Huangshi Sect was about to hold a ceremony to ascend to immortality, I dared to try to change my destiny without being afraid of the long journey and being alone. This is a sign of progress."
"A young man who has good understanding, extraordinary perseverance, knows how to be grateful and give back, is not greedy for the world of mortals, and is motivated. If there are ups and downs in the future, there is no need to worry about not having the opportunity to show off his talent."
Hua Rou thought for a while.
She didn't expect Yuan Wen to be so powerful. No wonder he had advanced understanding and intermediate cultivation talent.
In terms of talent.
Yuan Wen has a chance of becoming a true immortal in the future. After all, the somewhat inexplicable old immortal only has a high-level cultivation talent.
"Grandmaster, why do you think ordinary people are more valuable to cultivate than those who are famous, come from aristocratic families, and have a good reputation?"
Hua Rou discovered that Bai Yi from the Bai family was born with double pupils and immortal bones, but in Zhang Heng's eyes, he was just average.
Yuan Wen did not have double pupils or immortal bones, nor did he have special talents, but he was favored by Zhang Heng.
"It's hard to predict what's real and what's famous. When everyone says what a person will be like in the future, he often doesn't become that way."
"And I am optimistic about Yuan Wen, so I don't just say it casually."
"Have you noticed that no matter what he does, Yuan Wen likes to make gestures with his hands."
"He is not sick, but he lies down, sits and stands, practicing sword skills or thinking about sword techniques all the time."
"He is very interested in kendo and is willing to spend most of his time on it."
"Coupled with his extraordinary understanding, I am sure that if things continue at this rate, Yuan Wen will become one of the best swordsmen of the younger generation among the Seven Kingdoms in ten or twenty years, and he will most likely achieve the status of a true immortal in the future."
"And the genius Bai Yi in your eyes may not be his opponent by then."
Hua Rou was overjoyed.
One is to be happy for your friends, and the other is to be happy for yourself.
Yuan Wen's understanding is something that his great-uncle has affirmed. He has copied his talent and is one step closer to catching up with his great-uncle.
A few days passed by in a flash.
After these days, although Hua Rou has not yet formally practiced, she is no longer a newcomer who knows only a little about the world of cultivation.
He even developed his own theory.
Most ordinary people have no talent for cultivation. Even if they join the sect, their future achievements will be very limited and they can only be low-level monks for the rest of their lives.
For this kind of people, Hua Rou calls them whiteboard talent.
In other words, he has no talent and can only follow the crowd.
Up.
If the primary talents and intermediate talents are not very experienced, they can make some achievements in their respective fields and become the middle force of the sect.
And high-end talents.
It is the future of a sect, and it is the person who has a chance of becoming a true immortal.
certainly.
It's just that it's possible, but it's difficult to implement.
For example, among the disciples received by the Huangshi Sect, Hua Rou discovered a person with an intermediate talent for alchemy.
But he has never been exposed to alchemy, he is just a very ordinary receptionist.
Twenty-eight-nine, my cultivation level is not high, and my life is miserable.
If nothing else, he doesn't even know where his talent lies. He only knows how to meditate and practice Qi. This talent is destined to be wasted.
There are some others.
The qualifications are good, but unfortunately there is no ambition.
If you can be lazy in cultivation, you can be lazy. It's just a matter of dawdling. Naturally, your cultivation will be ordinary. Not everyone can bring out their talents.
Not performing well.
A mid-level talent behaves like a low-level talent, and a low-level talent behaves like a mid-level talent.
Over time, people will become useless.
Unlike Yuan Wen.
If you practice hard, you can use your talents to 120%. You don’t need to supervise them, you just know what you should do, and you can’t become talented even if you don’t think about it.
Dong dong dong...
time flies.
In a blink of an eye, the day for the Immortal Ascension Ceremony has arrived.
Forces from all sides came with their younger disciples, and they were all gearing up. Hua Rou's friend Yuan Wen was also among them.
"Jiangu County, Yuan Wen..."
There is nothing much to say about the selection content.
There is a magic weapon in Zhendingjie that can test talents.
The higher your talent, the higher the index given.
Yuan Wen got the title "A", so he was naturally selected and will be trained by the Huangshi Sect in the future.
Hua Rou was deeply happy for Yuan Wen.
After feeling happy, he felt a little sad: "Master, a good friend of mine lost the election."
Hua Rou is here these days.
Taught many friends.
The two best ones are Yuan Wen and Han Li.
Compared to Yuan Wen.
Han Li made Zhang Heng feel very uncomfortable.
She has a strong evil spirit and is destined to be a lone star. She is the kind of existence where if you treat her well, her bad luck will contaminate you and make you unlucky.
But.
Yuan Li happens to be very weird.
She always comes up with some old treasures.
Although it is not a rare breed, it is still quite valuable. It stands to reason that people who commit crimes like this are often very unlucky. It is common for their father, mother, and master to die. There is no reason to be so lucky. You can find a lot of them.
treasure.
But she is worth a lot of money.
Even richer than Hua Rou, she is a veritable little rich woman.
"granduncle."
"Han Li has passed the test. People say that she has no talent for cultivation and is not suitable for embarking on the path."
"You are so powerful, can you help Han Li or let her stay?"
"Didn't you tell me that I will inherit the Fengling Sect's tradition in the future? How about letting Han Li be my companion?"
Thinking of the dejected Han Li.
Hua Rou couldn't bear it and couldn't help begging Zhang Heng.
"To keep you company?"
Zhang Heng frowned slightly.
Hua Rou has a big secret, and Han Li probably has one too.
This made him very embarrassed.
If it were Yuan Wen, it would be almost the same. Yuan Wen is the kind of person who works hard and is talented.
There are no secrets, just hard work.
It's a pity that Zhang Heng found it troublesome.
Taking care of Hua Rou is enough work for him.
If Yuan Wen is ordered again, she will no longer be a nanny.
When he ascended to the True Boundary, Patriarch Jade Ax never said that he would be used as a nanny.
The agreement at that time was to find his descendants, take care of one or two of them, and if there was a suitable one, choose one to inherit the Fengling Sect's orthodoxy and introduce Fengling Sect to Maoshan.
in his thoughts.
He will not accept a disciple. He will show Hua Rou the world and then go to open the Immortal Tomb of Master Jade Axe.
There are a series of inheritances of Fengling Sect in Tianxian Tomb.
Just give it to Hua Rou and let her practice on her own. If she doesn't understand something, ask yourself.
after.
When Hua Rou grows up, the task of establishing Fengling Sect will be hers.
Zhang Heng was only a nominal patriarch.
Now, Hua Rou has not yet embarked on the path of cultivation, let alone achieved cultivation.
Keeping Han Li by his side, not to mention Han Li's bad luck and her strange ability to always come up with precious medicines, Zhang Heng would have to spend a lot more just to put in the effort.
What is he planning?
No matter what Hua Rou said, it was the Jade Ax Patriarch who paid the big price.
If you look after it for a moment or two, you will find the secret treasure of the immortal. This business is not a loss.
"granduncle..."
Just when Zhang Heng frowned.
Han Li, who had been waiting outside and was filled with anxiety, couldn't bear it anymore. She opened the door and immediately knelt down to Zhang Heng: "Uncle, I have a big secret..."
Zhang Heng waved his hand directly: "Don't tell me, I can't listen."
