Walking on the street, blending into the crowd, and listening to the various sounds around him, Qin Zhong always felt like he was in a trance.
The world of monasticism is actually not much different from the secular world.
No matter what you do in the mortal world, you need patience, talent, perseverance, and luck.
Isn’t this the case in the monastic world?
If we really want to distinguish the difference, the biggest difference is probably the impact of birth.
In the mortal world, it is difficult for those born poorly to reach the highest level, no matter how good their other conditions are.
However, even among those who are born well, how many can really reach the top?
In the monastic world, this is not taken too seriously, but other requirements are correspondingly much higher.
The hard work is not a matter of words, but a continuous effort, day after day, year after year.
For example, on Dazhu Peak, the introductory task is to chop bamboo on the back mountain for five consecutive years. Unless there is something special, you are not allowed to rest for a day. In addition to the physical exercise of chopping bamboo, you must also practice Taiqing Dao Jue without interruption every day.
If you want to bring this to the mortal world, you can imagine that a lumberjack uses an ax to chop down trees every day from breakfast until the end of the day. After work, he goes home and practices calligraphy for two hours.
How many people can persevere if it lasts for five years without taking a day off?
There was no cutting down of black bamboo on Luoxia Peak, but during the first five years on the mountain, there were other tasks every day.
During the five years when Qin Zhong first went up the mountain, he did homework every day with his brothers at the Luoxia Peak Martial Arts Plaza. In the previous two years, he was so tired that he wanted to fall asleep every day, but he couldn't because he had to practice after finishing the homework.
Taiqing Taoism.
Controlling the movement of true energy in the body is much more difficult for those who have just learned Taoism in the first two years than practicing calligraphy with calligraphy.
But if you want to succeed in spiritual practice, how can you give up because of difficulties?
Although it is easy to fall asleep after high-intensity exercise, sit cross-legged and meditate, and then do something that consumes mental energy, you will get used to it after a while.
Everyone in the world knows that cultivating immortality is good, but who knows how difficult it is?
If the qualifications are not too high, like the group of disciples in Qingyun Mountain who have never been able to break through to the level of exorcism, their lives are far longer than the life span of mortals, but they can still only stay in that small place on Qingyun Mountain.
.
What would happen if an ordinary mortal lived in such a small place for hundreds of years or more with nothing to do? He would most likely go crazy, right?
So, don't envy anyone you haven't understood.
Maybe the person you envy has worked countless times harder and harder than you to achieve the scene you envy.
In this world, there is only one kind of person who is worthy of envy, and that is a person who is born with a golden key in his mouth, but does not need to work hard for the golden key. To put it bluntly, he does not help the forces of birth, and just waits to die.
That batch of second-generation people. There are many varieties among the second-generation people.
But if you want to live like that, you have to work hard before you are born. Otherwise, it is better to change your goal and try to make your child become that kind of person to be more realistic.
From the perspective of effort, all things in the world are inherently equal, and all gaps are often just caused by differences in effort.
As he walked among the crowd, Qin Zhong felt a little clear in his heart, and he became more determined on the path of cultivating Taoism.
Not long after, we arrived at the blacksmith shop that the innkeeper mentioned.
Qin Zhong was not picky about the scabbard. It was just a box for holding the sword. To him, it was not much different from the black cloth wrapped in the thunder.
The only difference is that if it is wrapped in cloth, Tianlei will have to be replaced with a new package every time it is used.
The main purpose of using a scabbard is convenience.
After wandering around the blacksmith shop, he couldn't find a scabbard of the right size. Qin Zhong had no choice but to ask the blacksmith to put a new scabbard according to the size of Tianlei.
After agreeing to pick up the scabbard in a few days, Qin Chong left the blacksmith shop.
Walking on the street, I returned to the inn.
Qin Zhong was alone, and his injuries were not fully healed yet, so he didn't want to stay outside for too long.
···
"Grandpa, why do we come here."
A cute little girl of eight or nine years old was holding a bunch of candied haws in her hand and talking to an old man next to her who was wearing a Taoist robe and holding an immortal guiding bamboo pole.
These two people were Yiyi Xian and his granddaughter Xiaohuan whom Qin Zhong had met some time ago.
"Don't you always turn around and leave when you see people from Qingyun Sect? Why are you bringing me here today?"
Xiaohuan looked at Zhouxian with deep doubts.
Zhou Yixian was walking among the crowd with a small ring, and said: "Didn't you hear that the Demon Sect and the Righteous Way fought in Liupo Mountain to the detriment of both sides? A mysterious treasure was also born on Liupo Mountain."
Zhou Yixian observed the crowd around him and said with a smile: "Let's find a chance to see what the one-ninth of the treasure obtained by Qingyun Sect looks like. After all, we only have the chance to see the nine fragments of the treasure now.
Let’s take a look at this one.”
Xiaohuan pouted: "It's been divided into nine pieces. How can it be a good treasure? It has to sneak over. If someone from the Qingyun Sect catches it, it will be over."
While talking, he took another bite of the candied haws in his hand.
Zhou Yixian glanced at the missing piece of candied haws in Xiaohuan's hand and said with some distress: "Eat slowly, this one will be gone after you finish it today."
Xiaohuan expressed disdain for Zhouxian's words and rolled her eyes at him.
Zhou Yixian shook his head and suddenly stopped where he was.
Xiaohuan didn't check for a while and almost bumped into Zhouxian. He raised his head and looked at Zhouxian and said: "What's wrong, grandpa?"
Zhou Yixian pointed forward: "Look at the Qingyun Sect's clothes. Those two people are both Qingyun disciples."
Xiaohuan followed Zhou Xian's gaze and looked forward.
I saw two men in front of me. One was tall and strong, the other was relatively short and thin, and his appearance was obviously much younger.
The two people were in front of a stall, holding something and bargaining with the boss.
Zhou Yixian straightened his clothes and said to Xiaohuan: "Xiaohuan, follow grandpa to make friends with the two Qingyun young heroes."
Xiaohuan frowned. Grandpa was going to lie to people again. The key was that every time he lied, he had to ask for my help. He felt so tired.
"Two young heroes..."
While Zhou Yixian was speaking, he walked up to the two of them.
These two people were none other than Song Daren and Zhang Xiaofan from Dazhu Peak.
Zhang Xiaofan fell into a coma that day and woke up the next day.
Just because of the problem with the magic weapon, the magic weapon has been confiscated by the master in the past few days, and I feel very depressed.
Song Daren saw that his master had no other instructions and his junior brother was always in a low mood, so he found an opportunity to take his junior brother out for a walk.
On the street, I saw that the small trinkets sold by the stall owner were quite beautiful, so I thought about buying one for Wen Min. She would definitely like it.
This led Zhang Xiaofan to negotiate the price with the boss.
