Yi Xifeng was stunned for a moment. He looked at Wang Haitao next to him and saw that the other person was stammering and muttering in a low voice. He was obviously very afraid of the last young man. So he asked:
“Oh? Brother Wang knows this person?”
Wang Haitao laughed at himself and murmured: "I am an outer disciple, how can I know a true disciple? With his identity, I am afraid that if I break through to become an inner disciple, he will not look at me!"
When Yi Xifeng heard this, he felt a little disapproving. He patted the other party's shoulder and said with a smile: "Even if you have high strength and talent, you shouldn't be so crazy! Besides, in martial arts since ancient times, who has the last laugh and who is the winner?"
Winner! Although you and I are from humble backgrounds and started a little later than them, our ultimate success depends on how hard we work."
Wang Haitao raised his head and glanced at the fair-skinned young man next to him, and his heart moved slightly. After all, they were all once the proud sons of heaven. Whoever came here was not the best before, even if they are now just the 'outer disciples' at the lowest level.
, but who says there won’t be a chance in the future?
Thinking of this, this young man with a somewhat withdrawn and eccentric personality revealed a smile and nodded without saying anything else! He knew that Yi Xifeng was encouraging him, so why didn't he have ambitions? Otherwise, why would he enter the Outer Sect Three?
Years later, I participated in the first "Ascension Conference".
The conference is held every two years to select talented outer sect disciples to directly enter the inner sect to practice. There are many extremely talented people who will directly enter the inner sect in this way during the two years of entry. Of course, there will also be many like
People like Wang Haitao and Yi Xifeng try to study what they want to learn first and then participate.
The True Martial Arts Hall will not forcefully interfere with everyone's choices. They respect every warrior's plan for their own martial arts path. Even if many plans are problematic, they will not impose any obstruction. It is precisely this background.
And tolerance has allowed Zhenwu Daodian to have unparalleled geniuses growing up over the years, in all eras. There has never been such a situation where talents are replaced. I am afraid this is also the great wisdom that Zhenwu Daodian can continue to have for such a long time.
The Lecture Pavilion has no roof or walls, but it is paved with floor tiles. Unlike the mission hall, which is made of ink jade, the floor tiles here are made of polished blue stones. There is no sound when you step on it, and you step heavily on it with the soles of your feet.
, but it didn’t move at all! This kind of stone is called Shuiguang rough stone, which is more precious than ordinary jade!
…
"Everyone, be quiet!" Standing among the three people, the thin old man said slowly. Although his voice was not loud, it was clearly heard by everyone present.
Yi Xifeng's heart moved slightly. This scene reminded him of the words Zhao Yunming said to everyone at the beginning when he participated in the martial arts competition held in Yinren Village many years ago. Now it seems that this method of transmitting sound into the ear is much more difficult.
It is much better than Zhao Yunming's use of sonic power to improve the effect of amplifying sound. Of course, the difference in strength of this method is also there, so it is natural to judge!
But what Yi Xifeng didn't know was that the old man not only transmitted his voice to the ears of the outer disciples present, but also to the ears of more than a thousand people more than ten miles away, across a mountain stream, at the same time.
heard the old man’s voice!
"The biennial Dao Promotion Conference is being held as scheduled today. All of us here are outer disciples of my Zhenwu Dao Hall and are not outsiders. Let me introduce myself first. My surname is Xun, and my last name is Pan. Of course, this is me.
The lay name before entering Taoism." After saying this, the old man grinned, making people feel more like a relative and less majestic, just like a family elder.
“Later, I entered the Zhenwu Taoist Hall to practice, and it took me two decades! Therefore, the number of people in the world who are familiar with my lay name has become less and less. On the contrary, more and more people know my Taoist name...”
After saying this, he paused, suppressed his smile and said seriously: "Old Xunpan, who has been in the family for a hundred years, has fought against foreign enemies for the ancestral court a total of one hundred and seventy-three times, killing 2,533 foreign enemies! Fifty-three years.
Before, the master gave me the name Yuanhu!"
As soon as these words came out, not only the outer disciples of the Lecture Pavilion, but also those who came from various sects across the mountain stream, their expressions changed!
…
“Xun, Xun Yuanhu?! He is... He is Xun Yuanhu?”
“He is Elder Yuanhu? One of the four sword-wielding elders of the Zhenwu Dao Hall!”
“Are you lying?! I heard that Elder Yuanhu of the Zhenwu Dao Palace is a famous body-refining warrior! How can he be a thin and short old man?”
“Zhenwu Dao Hall, this time it’s a big move! Even this old guy moved out!”
…
Looking at the outer disciples in the Lecture Pavilion, their faces turned a little red. It was obvious that none of them had recognized the true identity of the old man before, but they were still very familiar with the reputation of the sword-wielding elder.
To put it in detail, this situation happened to Xun Yuanhu. Due to his special skills, the Zhenwu Dao Temple rarely mentioned this sword-wielding elder. After all, body-refining warriors are regarded by many righteous people as
It is biased and cannot be regarded as a great path to martial arts. In addition, the relationship with the demonic religion has been tense in recent years, and the divine sect and the demonic sect have frequently clashed with the so-called "three religions". This has also made many people look at body-refining warriors in a different light.
This is not to say that body refining warriors are all remnants of the demonic path, but there is a high probability that they have a tendency to specialize in the demonic path. Therefore, this "Elder Yuanhu" who is famous for his body refining is deliberately hidden by the Zhenwu Dao Palace.
He got up, on the one hand, to protect him, and on the other hand, to prevent attacks from public opinion.
This is why none of the outer disciples present recognized "Elder Yuanhu".
Xun Yuanhu glanced at everyone, saw the reactions of everyone present, and then said aloud: "Since you are here to participate in this Shengdao Conference, you should understand what Shengdao is?"
Without waiting for these young disciples to reply, the old man asked himself: "If you give up your own way, it's the way of justice. If you give up the way of martial arts, it's the way of heaven. Can it be the way of advancement?"
Regarding the old man’s question, the disciples surrounding him began to whisper.
The sentence Elder Yuanhu asked is taken from the "Taoyuan Zhenjing", which is a treatise on "Tao" written by the great monk in the valley, and it can also be regarded as a Taoist classic. And this famous sentence on "raising the Tao"
, also spread among many Taoist sects.
The general meaning is: ascending to the Tao means abandoning one's previous inherent Tao in order to develop and transform into the Tao that the sect needs. Just like these outer disciples, they began to practice "purity" as soon as they entered the Zhenwu Dao Hall and became outer disciples.
"Yang Meridian Technique", this is the basic technique and the Tao required by the Zhenwu Dao Temple.
As for the last sentence, giving up martial arts for the way of heaven. It is also recognized in the world as the essence of qi-refining warriors: constantly giving up and innovating one's own martial arts path, catering to the rules of heaven, and finally defeating the rebellion on behalf of heaven!
For the discussion of "Dao Yuanzhen", the disciples who have heard naturally have been heard, but most people do not know much about the intention of "Elder Yuan Tiger".
