"Time is like a cut, the past is like a castration; life is a drama, cultivation is a drama!"
The old man threw another bean into his mouth and chewed it deliciously. He enjoyed the atmosphere of educating the younger generation; of course, the premise is that the younger generation can be taught. If you replace it with a few elm lumps with mediocre qualifications, he will be the same.
I'm not interested.
"It's like a big play on the stage. Some people play gangsters and some people play scholars. In fact, in the final analysis, the purpose is the same. Who can marry the eldest daughter of a member's family!
In the world of cultivation, the eldest sister is immortal!
Xuanyuan is just pretending to be a gangster, but he is not a real gangster. The difference cannot be confused!
Just like Sanqing is just pretending to be a scholar, he is not a real scholar! If you carefully consider the things they do and the methods they use, are they something that a pure scholar can do?
The Dharma lineage is like this. How should I, Xuanyuan Sword Cultivator, behave as a gangster? You must have a strong balance in your heart!
On the stage of cultivation, Dharma hopes that we will become real gangsters! And we expect them to become real scholars! Judging from the trend of history, everyone is actually very good at it!
Rogues are fake hooligans, and scholars are fake scholars. This is the essence of the world of cultivation. If you don't understand this, you will fall into your own so-called sword heart and Tao heart!
What is the heart? Bah, if you don’t care for others, you will be destroyed by heaven and earth!”
Lou Xiaoyi felt that the longer he knew Nan Zhenren, the more elusive he became, but it made him closer, because some of the complaints about the world of cultivation, the five rings in the blue sky, and even the way of heaven, these out-of-touch words would never fall into the trap.
Words are the essence of his life and practice!
"Disciple understands! You have to act like what you want! You must also learn to distinguish between what is on stage and what is off stage..."
Nan Zhenren stroked his beard and smiled, "When I was young, there was a bully in the town who had a reputation for evil. He often walked around the streets with his arms and legs wrapped around his body, and all the merchants along the way did not dare to be disrespectful. When the new Yamen came to power, they started to clean up the atmosphere.
Countless gangsters, big and small, were arrested in the town, but he was left alone. It was strange!
Later, when I grew up, I got acquainted with him by chance and asked him why he was able to survive alone during the purge in the town. Did he have any backers in the new government office?
As a result, this person laughed and said that I was a born and bred mud-legged person. There was no official figure in my family for dozens of generations. How could I have any strong backers in the government office?
The reason why everything is safe is actually very simple. Xinya carefully investigated the murders in the town, and found that none of them were related to him!
This is what acting is like!
It’s impossible for me, Xuanyuan Sword Cultivator, not to kill people. If you can achieve a reputation of being both murderous and without any major cause and effect, then you’re a good actor!”
Lou Xiaoyi laughed, "People like Uncle Master are the real seasoned actors and role models for our generation!"
Nan Zhenren shook his head and sighed, "You are wrong! In my era and at my level, I didn't even have a chance to be on stage!
After all, there are very few people who can get on the stage, and most of them are just spectators watching the show!
But you are different, you have always been on the stage, the foundation is there, the golden elixir is there, and the future adult will definitely be there too!
So, act well! Everyone will know that you are a gangster!"
Lou Xiaoyi sighed, "It would be great if I could be in the audience!"
He also knows that this is impossible. Standing on the stage is both pressure and motivation. It depends on how you use it! His path is not the kind of path that is unknown to people who grew up in the mountains and becomes famous all over the world. After all,
When you come back, how long will it take to keep it in the deep mountains? What is the knowledge of the world? Is it the golden elixir? Nascent Soul? True King? Or Immortal?
Only an immortal can know everything about the universe, so what is the meaning of his past?
"Tell me about the Li family you brought back! What, do you want to include him in the Xuanyuanmen wall?" Nan Zhenren changed the subject.
Lou Xiaoyi began to shirk responsibility, "It's hard to kill him in the Thousand Islands Domain! Even casual cultivators can see it! It doesn't match our image of Xuanyuan Guang accepting swordsmanship talents! Moreover, his crimes are nothing to Xuanyuan, and they have contributed Learned the secret of the sword plate!
I can't handle it. If I stay in the Thousand Islands Domain, I don't know when he will return to his old ways, so I can only bring him back and leave it to the sect to deal with. Should I slowly win over his heart, or restrain him for a period of time and let him change completely? Your temperament is entirely up to your uncle, I have no objection!"
Nan Zhenren snorted. This guy was very cunning in pushing this shit onto him!
With the current strength level of Jindan in Weishan, there is indeed a need for such new blood to join, who are talented in swordsmanship and have the ability to fight immediately. Weishan is in great need of such talents; but regarding the training of monks, Jindan and foundation building are more important. The difference is that Zhu Ji's character is easy to cultivate. Even if he is from another state, he can be taught over a long period of time how to become a true swordsman and develop a sense of attachment to the sect.
The golden elixir is different. The process of forming the elixir itself is a process of initial mental determination. After the elixir is formed, it is difficult to change it. If another wolf is introduced to Xiaoshan, it will be very troublesome.
"What do you think? You have had contact with him, so you know about his past..."
Lou Xiaoyi thought for a while and then told the truth, "This person's temperament is a bit extreme. If he uses it in the wrong place, he can easily cause trouble!"
He behaved very generously in the deserted island secret realm. Of course, this is what he had to do. He was just being controlled by others and seeking a way to survive. He did not really want to join Xuanyuan. This requires a process. This is true for foundation building, let alone the golden elixir!
What makes me strange is that he is very generous in inheriting the secret realm, not only this sword stand, but also the skills related to the sword disc that he took away before, but he is missing one thing!"
Nan Zhenren nodded, "The last words of the practitioner are missing!"
Lou Xiaoyi continued: "Although disciples rarely explore the secrets, after looking at the process of all explorations and considering the mentality of the practitioners themselves, it is impossible not to give any instructions to the followers!
For example, taking care of the family on your behalf? Who are the enemies? Who are the hostile traditions? If you can't meet the requirements of the practitioner, why should they hand over all their secrets to you? You have to complete some posthumous affairs for others in order to be worthy of this. An opportunity!
The sword tradition of the Thousand Islands Domain basically comes from the Yunding Sword Palace! Many casual cultivators have learned swordsmanship from this inheritance and are still willing to serve Xuanyuan. This is just because this inheritance has been passed down for countless generations, and the previous grudges have long since It has faded away. Who is still willing to bear the illusory cause and effect for the contradictions of 10,000 to 20,000 years ago?
But the inheritance of the sword plate in the secret room on the desert island has not been passed down for many generations! Since the autobiographer set up this place more than ten thousand years ago, Li Jiazi is the first and only successor!
So, what last words did the practitioner leave for him? What purpose did he want to achieve? What was his plan? This was almost inevitable, but he didn’t mention anything about these!
Is it really the original Yunding sword cultivator who was so upright and upright? He only did the swordsmanship and didn’t care about anything else? Is this the style of Yunding?”
