As soon as Zhang Yan finished speaking, the three disciples knelt down, banged their heads on the ground, and expressed their willingness with excited tones.
The most surprising one among them is naturally Yang Rui. His talent is not as outstanding as Liu Rui's, and his cultivation is not as good as Wang Nian's. He has always been worried about whether he will be suddenly kicked out. Now he suddenly heard Zhang Yan's proposal and was so excited.
His face turned red. After all, he was only at the late stage of the Qi Entraining Realm and had not yet reached the Xuan Vein, yet he was actually able to officially enter the realm?
Liu Rui was also very excited, but it was better than Yang Rui. After all, he had already expected that his talent would be considered by the teacher as an entry-level disciple.
The calmest one is Wang Nian. His cultivation in the Mysterious Vein Realm has been waiting for this day for a long time.
Three bows and nine knocks.
After this set of great gifts was witnessed by the Sanqings, Wang Nian was the eldest, followed by Yang Rui, and Liu Rui was the last. The three of them officially became the only three disciples of the Longhu Mountain Sect in the Huangtian Domain besides Zhang Yan.
For a moment, even Zhang Yan didn't notice or notice that a thin ray of fluorescent light appeared from the Sanqing statue and covered his body. In just a moment, it seemed to penetrate into his body and disappear.
.And Zhang Yan was completely unaware of all this.
"Respect teachers and Taoism, do not be stoic with evil spirits, do not harm each other and fellow disciples, do not be ungrateful and unjust, do not be arrogant, do not belittle oneself. Have good thoughts in your heart but do not overflow with good intentions..."
Zhang Yan used a chant-like tone to lay out the long sect rules for the first time in front of the three disciples who were kneeling on the ground. This nearly 1,000-word sect rule was the first that Zhang Yan, like Wang Nian, heard at the time.
I also knelt on the ground and memorized it in my heart over and over again. Until now, I have never forgotten a single word.
The first three times Zhang Yan recited it, the three children were busy memorizing it in their minds. By the fourth time, Liu Rui had raised her head and started to recite along with him, and by the fifth time, Yang Rui could also recite it.
, Wang Nian finally added in on the seventh pass.
After nine times, Zhang Yan stopped. He walked up to the three people and reached out to touch the tops of their heads.
"You must remember the rules of the sect and never forget a single word. If anyone violates the rules of the sect, he or she will be punished. In serious cases, if someone deceives his master and destroys his ancestors, his soul will be destroyed and he will never be reincarnated. Do you understand?"
"Disciple understands!"
As soon as the mountain gate is established, Zhang Yan will take three disciples to practice in this mountain. As far as Zhang Yan is concerned, he is not trying to escape from the world, but simply for the benefits brought by this great spiritual vein at the foot of the cliff mountain. He will practice here for a while.
A day's work can be worth two days in Langyuan City's quiet room. The amount of gains accumulated over time can be said to be huge.
But it's not like there are no worries behind him. In addition to Liu Rui's miserable life experience and being alone, there are many worries around him, including Zhang Yan, that they can't let go of.
Zhang Yan called this state of practice "semi-transcendence", which is also "semi-residence". Not only did the three disciples clearly feel the difference between "exit" and "enter", he himself also felt the contrast was sharp.
Langyuan City is becoming more and more lively with disturbances. Not only the flatterers who appear every day, but also the trivial matters and joys of the family members.
In the mountains, except for following Wang Nian down the mountain from time to time to hunt and satisfy his cravings, he only had to do one thing most of the day: practice.
Yang Rui is the person in Longhu Mountain Gate who enjoys the tranquility of the mountain gate the most. There were even times when he did not return with Zhang Yan, but stayed alone in the mountain gate and enjoyed it.
Liu Rui would go wherever Zhang Yan went. She could eat big fish and meat from the Zhang family in Langyuan City, and she could also get used to the simple meals in Shanmen. No matter where she was, the only thing she was interested in was practicing and changing.
Be as powerful as Master!
The only person who has always felt dull and unaccustomed to life in the mountains is Wang Nian. For him, living in the mountains for a few days is fine, but living for a long time is unbearable. There is no good food, no fun, and even
It was impossible to even eat a sugar-coated haws in the mountains. The only fun was wandering around the mountains and teasing the mountain beasts that seemed to be getting smarter and smarter. But he could only watch the wild beasts because the wild beasts in the mountains were afraid of him.
Master said it was because these beasts had spirits and were naturally afraid of people like him who were "covered in fire".
So every time Zhang Yan wanted to return to Corridor City, Wang Nian was the most active one.
The years in the mountains leave no trace. Especially for a monk like Zhang Yan who no longer even needs sleep or food, sometimes his mind is lost in thought, and his mind wanders for several days. It is much better than in Langyuan City where things often bother him.
It’s much easier to forget yourself.
If this is really a pure cultivation, then that's it. There are few people in the mountains for the sake of cultivation. The three children who follow Zhang Yan can't always practice by themselves. So Zhang Yan spends three or five days just to prevent himself from wandering off.
Seeing that no one had left behind the apprentice's practice, he carved more than a dozen stone tablets in the side hall. There are magic arrays on the stone tablets, mainly illusion arrays, which can be activated with spiritual energy. When you fall into the illusion array, you can see Zhang Yan's inscriptions in it.
Answers and explanations of the techniques and exercises. They are all aimed at problems that may easily arise on the path of cultivation for the three apprentices.
Of course, new methods require face-to-face guidance. This is also the most solemn scene that is held every once in a while at Longhu Mountain Gate. The three apprentices listen attentively, and then ask questions in their hearts.
For example, today the four masters and disciples gathered together. They were not in the majestic Dharma transmission hall, but in the first building built on the cliff mountain, the meditation pavilion.
The small pavilion hangs on the cliff in mid-air, and you can reach out and touch the waterfall rushing down from the side. Amidst the roar of the falling water of the waterfall, there is a question-and-answer session about Shinto practice methods.
But in fact, sometimes Zhang Yan can't explain everything, because there are some things that he still can't understand.
For example:
"Master, the power of the divine descending technique comes from the gods all over the sky. But do they really exist? And where are they? If we can become immortals, can we also see them?"
Yang Rui's thinking is not the most out-of-the-box and active among the three apprentices, but he is the one who likes to ask questions the most.
Zhang Yan feels that the Shinto method is the most suitable method for the monks in the wilderness at this stage to use it as a means to suppress the bottom of the box. Even if the cost is not small, it can be compensated through elixirs. After all, it is a means to save life and fight for one's life.
The cost of life points is actually very small.
However, teaching the art of divine surrender made it difficult for Zhang Yan to answer Yang Rui's question.
"Where are the gods? Where is the heaven? How can I see them? I want to know too."
Who would have thought that as soon as Zhang Yan replied, Liu Rui couldn't help but asked curiously: "Master, since the divine descending technique can prove the existence of gods and can provide what they ask for, then why do they sit back and watch the monsters running rampant in the wilderness?
, the human race is weak and indifferent?
Is it because people in the world are hopelessly ignorant and unworthy of saving?
Just like in "Journey to the West" you mentioned, people have to save themselves first, and then the gods will take action?"
