Asking about longevity

Mo Hua was surrounded by a group of people, some were about the same age, some were a year or two older than him, and some at least felt a little uncomfortable looking at their classmates who were older than themselves and calling them "little senior brother".

These disciples shouted coyly.

He seemed ashamed, like a mosquito, afraid of being heard.

But this is what Mr. Xun means.

Old Mr.

What's more, these new outer disciples.

But once it is fresh, the second time it is familiar.

I kept shouting and got used to it.

The more you shout a few times, the more they will become proficient.

It's just that some people are dissatisfied.

Occasionally, there will be some "thorns" and I will find an excuse to "provoke" the ink paintings.

Mo Hua didn't take them seriously. He didn't need to take any action. He only needed to use Mr. Xun's name and the authority of "little senior brother" to give them more formation homework.

These "prick-headed" disciples immediately became obedient.

The spiritual consciousness of monks in the early stage of foundation building is between the tenth and thirteenth lines.

Most of these disciples, who first entered the foundation building, only had ten or eleven lines of spiritual consciousness. It was okay to draw one or two formations, but if they drew too many, they would really "be miserable".

Ink painting draws formations every day, so he has an extremely accurate grasp of the amount of divine consciousness.

The homework assigned was just enough for them to be able to draw, but it was very difficult and painful, but it would not hurt their consciousness.

It's a little lesson.

Awed by Mr. Xun's majesty, they dared not stop painting.

After Mo Hua dealt with this a few times, few disciples dared to challenge his "majesty" in public anymore.

As time passed, Mo Hua's identity as "little senior brother" was gradually accepted by his disciples.

Although he is a "little senior brother", Mo Hua doesn't have any airs, and treats others and works the same as before.

Many disciples also began to secretly come to Mo Hua to ask for advice on formations between classes or after class.

Those who were confused about some formations and couldn't understand them in class, but didn't dare to ask Mr. Xun, would come and ask Mo Hua.

The ink paintings are much cuter than Mr. Xun.

When others asked for advice on the formation, Mo Hua also explained everything he knew.

He still remembers Yan Jiaoxi’s instructions:

"The formation is like water, only if it is passed on will it have a long history..."

If I treasure my broom, it will only make the formation that contains the great path decay and become a pool of stagnant water.

Therefore, as long as you are sincerely willing to learn the formation, Mo Hua will sincerely teach you and explain it carefully.

The disciples received the blessing of Mo Hua's preaching, and the words "little senior brother" became easier to pronounce.

After that, Mr. Xun became more and more "lazy" and took more classes in ink painting, and his relationship with these fellow disciples became closer.

The "half-teacher, half-friend" friendship becomes even deeper.

Mr. Xun silently saw all this and felt relieved.

With this friendship, over time, Mo Hua has a foundation in Taixu Sect.

The longer the time goes by, the deeper the friendship becomes and the stronger the foundation.

However, the number of people is still a little small...

There are only about a hundred disciples in Taiyiju. These nearly a hundred disciples will call Mo Hua "little senior brother" when they attend the formation class together.

There are nearly a thousand talents in this generation.

If you don't take classes in a preaching room, naturally you won't be taught by ink painting...

Mr. Xun said silently in his heart:

"I have to find an opportunity in the future so that all the disciples of this year can take the 'class' of ink painting and call them 'little senior brother'..."

No one is missing!

Mr. Xun has profound thoughts.

The foundation of the sect is people, these disciples who inherit the sect's inheritance.

The friendship with the disciples of the sect is the friendship with the sect.

Taixu Sect is one of the eight gates. Although its disciples are not as good as the "four major sects", they can still be regarded as the leaders in the states of cultivating the world.

If you have a good relationship with your fellow sect, Mo Hua will become a sect in the future and you will naturally have connections when traveling around the world.

All nine states are from the same family, and we have old friends from all over the world.

Wherever he goes, people call him "little senior brother". This will make things easier.

With the support of the same sect, he will not forget the friendship between the sect.

And with the sect to rely on and the help of his fellow sects, even if he is alone in the future, he will not be too afraid of being ostracized by the aristocratic family or being bewitched by the demon sect.

Only then can he have the confidence to uphold his original intention, not go astray, and seek the true path...

Mr. Xun looked deeply and nodded.

Suddenly he thought of something again, frowned, and realized another problem:

"Although the foundation of the sect is people, the sect itself also has a system of inheritance..."

"The rules of the sect must still exist, and the disciples of the sect must still be exposed to the inheritance logic."

"It's too easy to get, and people often don't cherish it..."

"Don't be too partial to this child, otherwise the training effect will be lost..."

"You still have to suffer the hardships you deserve..."

Mr. Xun raised his eyebrows slightly.

…

Mr. Xun’s good intentions are unknown to Mo Hua.

He is busy every day, practicing, taking classes, and then he is also responsible for "lecturing". The time he saves is spent on learning formations.

What I am currently learning about ink painting is a piece of "Yuze Formation".

This is a Bagua Ze formation, second grade and fifteen patterns. It is also the most difficult formation that Mo Hua has learned so far with his extreme spiritual consciousness.

This formation was also given to him by Mr. Xun.

Mr. Xun seemed to want Mo Hua to be kind-hearted and gentle in formations, so what he learned from Mo Hua later were formations based on water, wood, earth and stone, which nourished all things and promoted the industry of monasticism.

There is no killing array.

Ink painting is also a skill that comes with it, so you can make peace with it and learn what you have.

The atmosphere in Taixu Sect is peaceful. There are no sin cultivators, no demon cultivators, no traffickers, and no evil spirits. He doesn't need the killing array for the time being.

His main purpose is to enhance his spiritual awareness through learning formations.

Then after strengthening your spiritual consciousness, you can learn more difficult formations...

In this way, spiritual consciousness and formation complement each other and go hand in hand.

And his breakthrough in cultivation is also closely related to his spiritual consciousness and formation.

The bottleneck of his cultivation of Tianyan Jue is his spiritual consciousness, which requires solving the puzzle formation, especially the breakthrough of the big realm. What he needs to solve is the puzzle formation.

If he breaks through again this time, he won't have his uncle to "help" him.

You probably have to rely on yourself, so your spiritual consciousness must be strong and your formation must be precise.

All his spells also rely on the power of his divine consciousness.

Divine consciousness is the foundation for enlightenment.

When it comes to cultivation, we have always paid attention to accumulation over time, things will come naturally, and there is no need to rush for the time being.

Mo Hua's current plan is to learn the fifteen-line formation and hone his spiritual consciousness to sixteen lines or even higher, so that he can break through the bottleneck when his cultivation level is promoted.

First the fifteen lines formation, then the sixteen lines, then the seventeen lines, and keep learning like this...

But half a month later, Mr. Xun told Mo Hua that there was no formation for him to learn.

Mo Hua was stunned.

Mr. Xun sighed, "I forgot to tell you before, there are rules in Taixu Sect."

"rule?"

Mo Hua blinked.

"Rules!" Mr. Xun emphasized, and then patiently explained to Mo Hua.

"This rule was set by our ancestors, and I can't change it..."

Mo Hua nodded, thinking it was reasonable. He didn't even realize that Mr. Xun himself was one of the "ancestors" he called.

Mr. Xun continued:

"The formations taught in class are prescribed by the sect and are given to you for free..."

"But extracurricular formations, logically speaking, have to be paid."

"Especially, you are just getting started and are only in the early stages of foundation building. The formations you have learned should theoretically not exceed the eleventh pattern."

"No matter how fast the formation of the Twelve and Three Patterns is, we won't be taught it until next year or the school year after."

"And it's not mandatory."

"Generally, even for early-stage foundation-building formation masters, even if they are at the peak of early-stage foundation-building, it is still very difficult to learn the twelve lines of formation, let alone the thirteen lines..."

Old Mr.

Mo Hua was moved and said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Xun!"

Then he became a little worried again, "You...are not settling the accounts with the Queen of Autumn, so let me pay the spirit stone..."

Although he didn't know how many spiritual stones it would cost to use the second-grade fourteen-line and fifteen-line formations.

But this kind of serious Bagua system collected by the sect is not cheap at all...

Mainly because he learned a lot.

Unknowingly, Mr. Xun had already given him many secondary formation diagrams.

For the fifteenth pattern, there is only one Yuze Formation, but for the thirteenth and fourteenth patterns, I have learned a lot about ink painting.

He had to pay for the spiritual stone, and his small family was "bankrupt" in an instant.

Mo Hua frowned, a little worried.

Mr. Xun glanced at Mo Hua silently, which made him sad for a moment, and then he said:

"That's not necessary. Since I gave it to you, you can learn with confidence. You don't have to pay any spiritual stones. Moreover, the sect's inheritance in Taixu Sect is not purchased with spiritual stones."

"No spirit stone?" Mo Hua was slightly startled, "Then what to use?"

Mr. Xun said: "Contribution."

"Achievements?"

Mo Hua frowned. No one told him when he came in...

Mr. Xun explained:

"Merit refers to the disciple's contribution to the sect, or his achievements..."

"Not only the Taixu Sect, but also the entire Qianxue Prefecture, the four major sects, the Eight Gates, the Twelve Flows, the Qianxue Hundred Sects, and the thousands of sects under the Hundred Sects also implement the 'merit system'..."

"This is the ancestor of the Qianxue State. In order to reform the sect, enhance the cohesion of the sect, and smooth the gap between the rich and the poor among the disciples, so that every disciple can have an opportunity to obtain monastic resources and enhance the sect's status, thus determining The rules below.”

"As a disciple, if the gap between the rich and the poor is too big, and there is a huge disparity in status and power, it will inevitably lead to clinging and vanity comparisons."

“The poor are the cattle and horses of the rich, and the weak cling to the powerful.”

"As a result, the sect will naturally be in a state of chaos, and the Taoist heart will be corrupted by fame and fortune, and no one will pursue the Tao with all their heart."

Mo Hua suddenly understood, "That's why when entering the sect, the sect will set limits on the spiritual stones that disciples bring into the sect. Other pills, spiritual weapons, heavenly materials and earthly treasures will also be controlled..."

Mr. Xun nodded, "Yes, since you have joined the sect, you naturally have to rely on your own efforts."

"Children from good families also need to rely on their own abilities to earn merits in exchange for resources to practice Taoism, so that they can realize how difficult it is to practice Taoism;"

"Ordinary children with poor backgrounds can work hard, rely on themselves, and exchange their sect's merits for the treasures of heaven and earth that they can't get outside, so as to break through the realm and aspire to the great road..."

only……

Nowadays, among the eight gates, there are fewer and fewer disciples with "bad backgrounds"...

Mr. Xun sighed slightly in his heart.

"Contribution..."

Mo Hua's eyes lit up, "Can this meritorious service be exchanged for something good?"

Mr. Xun nodded, "It's better than you think..."

Mo Hua's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly remembered that name:

Taixu’s divine thoughts transform into swords!

If my meritorious service is high enough, can I get the extremely powerful Divine Thought Sword Art that may be hidden in the Taixu Sect?

Mo Hua thought about it but still didn't ask Mr. Xun.

This kind of thing should be done secretly...

If I tell Mr.

Moreover, in addition to this Divine Mind Sword Technique, is it possible to change...

Second grade ultimate battle?

Mo Hua's eyes were slightly bright, full of expectation.

Mr. Xun didn't know the subtleties of ink painting, so he continued to explain the ink painting:

"... Therefore, meritorious service is extremely important to sect disciples."

"The sect's merit system can also enhance the disciples' centripetal force and sense of belonging to the sect."

You contribute to the sect, and the sect gives you rewards and helps you practice. Over and over again, the relationship becomes deeper...

In this world, relationships without interests are mostly just a mirror image and cannot withstand twists and turns.

Mr. Xun has lived for so long and naturally understands this truth.

Mo Hua remembered something again and asked:

"Old sir, you said that merit is related to the status of the sect. Does this refer to the promotion of the outer sect and the inner sect?"

Mr. Xun was a little surprised and nodded: "Yes."

He pondered for a moment and asked Mo Hua:

"Mo Hua, do you think that when a sect recruits disciples, is talent more important, or character?"

Mo Hua thought for a while and said: "Talent and character are both important, but character is actually more important than talent."

Old Mr.

"Although people's minds are different and fickle, those with bad minds may not be able to correct their evil ways. Those with good minds may also be affected and become evil."

"As for qualifications, good is good, bad is bad, simple and clear..."

"But even so, if you practice Taoism without caring about your heart, and only have a body of cultivation, it will be in vain in the end, and it is even easy to become a puppet of other people's thoughts..."

Mo Hua nodded with deep understanding.

He has seen too many monks who were possessed by Taoist demons and died at the hands of their uncle.

Those with a firm mind can often hold on for a while.

A person with a shallow mind will immediately go crazy if his uncle only takes one look at him...

But……

Why did Mr. Xun suddenly talk about this matter?

Mo Hua was a little confused and asked:

"Old sir, does this matter have anything to do with meritorious service?"

Mr. Xun sighed deeply and recalled the past:

"In the beginning, the sects in Qianxue State did not have this kind of merit system. At that time, there were few rules and talent was very important in recruiting disciples."

"A top-grade or mid-grade genius will often be robbed by many sects."

"Kung Fu, Taoist magic, spiritual energy, elixirs, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, whatever you ask for, I will give you whatever you have."

"But……"

"This also makes these geniuses too arrogant, thinking that everything is obtained by their own ability, and forgetting the sect's efforts and favors."

"There are many 'proud men of heaven' who forget their ancestors, betray their families, and even become possessed by demons."

"The sect paid a huge price to raise a group of white-eyed wolves."

"After that, our ancestors learned from the experience and established the rules of 'merit'. No matter how good your talent is, if you want to gain true inheritance, you must make a large enough contribution to the sect."

"For an outer sect disciple, promotion to the inner sect depends not only on his qualifications, but also on his merits."

"Disciples of the inner sect, whether ordinary disciples or true disciples, must make certain contributions to the sect before they are eligible to be promoted to elders."

"In other words, as long as you contribute enough to the sect, you can enter the inner sect and become a true disciple, or even a true elder, or even..."

"Promoted to head!"

Mr. Xun spoke generously.

After saying that, he glanced at Mo Hua and saw that Mo Hua just nodded, but showed no look of expectation. He knew in his heart that Mo Hua had no intention of joining the inner sect.

To join the inner sect, you need to become a disciple.

The kid Mo Hua didn't want to join the inner sect, which meant that he didn't want to give up his original training.

Even if it is possible to become the leader of Taixu Sect, it seems that it is not very attractive to him.

This also shows that this child does have a teacher.

Moreover, he values ​​love and righteousness and only recognizes his first master.

Mr. Xun felt a little regretful, but also applauded.

Mr. Xun then added a few words, finished explaining the origin and purpose of the merit system for Mo Hua, and then said:

"So from now on, if you want to learn formations, you have to make some contributions to the sect and earn merits before you can change to those fifteen lines, sixteen lines, or even higher level formations."

Mo Hua thought about it and found it reasonable.

There is no free chicken drumstick in the world.

It is impossible for the sect to let itself waste its wool.

It would be bad if there were too many disciples like me and the sect was wiped out and the sect went bankrupt...

Mo Hua nodded and asked again:

"Old sir, how can I earn this merit?"

Seeing that the ink painting was not dissatisfied, Mr. Xun nodded slightly and explained:

"If you get an 'A' in each subject's assessment, you can get some meritorious deeds..."

"Refining weapons, elixirs, talismans, and drawing formations for the sect can also be converted into achievements..."

"Graduate academic events, such as Dao Discussion Conference and Sword Discussion Conference, if you get ranked, you will be rewarded with meritorious deeds..."

"In addition, the sect will also have some tasks, such as joining forces with Dao Tingsi to arrest some criminal cultivators, evil cultivators, demon cultivators, etc., which will also be counted as meritorious deeds of the sect..."

"Of course, this kind of thing is too bloody and dangerous, and it's not something you can do now..."

…

Mr. Xun said a lot.

Mo Hua silently remembered it in his heart, and then asked doubtfully: "Old sir, how come I didn't know anything about what you said before..."

Mr. Xun raised his eyebrows, "That's because you don't have the right to know."

"Permissions?"

Mr. Xun pointed at Mo Hua's waist.

Mo Hua suddenly asked, "Tai Xu Ling?"

"That's right." Mr. Xun said, "When you started, someone should have told you that the Taixu Sect→Xu Order is very important, so that you don't lose it..."

"Not only do you need to use the Taixu Order to practice, take classes, and enter and leave the sect, but more importantly..."

"The Taixu Order determines the authority of your sect!"

"You have just started. This Taixu Order is just an initial one. Apart from practicing Taoism, taking classes, and entering and exiting the disciples' residence, you basically have no authority at all."

"When you have been practicing Taoism for a year in the sect, and the sect has probably 'understood' you, then the real Taixu authority will be opened for you..."

"This is also the 'merit' authority."

"With authority, you can do things for the sect according to the name on the Taixu Order, earn merits, and exchange for a series of Taixu Sect's treasured skills, Taoist methods, formation inheritance, as well as spiritual stones and elixirs. Spiritual objects and other monastic resources..."

Mo Hua was a little shocked, and then wondered:

"However, I have only been in the sect for four or five months, so I can't grant the authority of Taixu Order..."

"It's okay," Mr. Xun said, "I'll help you open it in advance."

"Ah?" Mo Hua was stunned, "Can this be opened in advance?"

Old Mr.

"Give me the Taixu Order." Mr. Xun ordered.

Mo Hua respectfully handed his original, somewhat simple Taixu Order with only one sword pattern to Mr. Xun.

Mr. Xun took it, his consciousness moved slightly, and a faint light flashed on Taixu Ling.

Then Mr. Xun returned the Taixu Order to Mo Hua, "Okay."

Mo Hua was a little surprised, "Is this good?"

It’s so easy to open permissions...

He pondered in his mind and had some vague guesses. Mr. Xun seemed to have touched the formation in the Taixu Order with his spiritual consciousness and changed the authority...

But what exactly was done is still unclear only from the ink drawings from the early stage of foundation building.

Mo Hua took the Taixu Order and scanned it with his consciousness. Sure enough, he felt that his Taixu Order was a little different from before. There seemed to be something more in it.

Before I could take a closer look at the ink painting, another question came to my mind.

"Old sir, you said that the sect's rules cannot be changed..."

Mo Hua looked at Mr. Xun suspiciously, "But are you also changing the rules?"

Mr. Xun hesitated.

Why does this little kid, this little head spin so fast...

Mr. Xun looked serious, "It doesn't count!"

"It really doesn't count..."

Mr. Xun nodded, "If I say it doesn't count, then it doesn't count!"

"..."

Mo Hua doesn’t know what to say.

However, it was a good thing that Mr. Xun gave himself the authority to issue Taixu Order, so he didn't dwell on it anymore...

How could he, a new disciple, know if there were no rules or regulations?

Mo Hua held the Taixu Ling with an expectant look on his face, thinking to take a closer look later to see what tasks were in it and what good things could be exchanged for...

Mr. Xun looked at the ink painting and finally warned:

"When practicing as a monk, safety is the top priority and don't aim too high..."

"Although I have given you permission, after all, you have just started, your cultivation is still shallow, and you have no experience..."

"At the beginning, I will take on some low-level, entry-level errands, draw formations, sweep the dojo, check the gate, etc..."

"Those things, chasing down evil cultivators, killing evil cultivators, wiping out the big and small demon sects..."

"You must not accept such a dangerous mission..."

"Uh-huh!"

Mo Hua nodded obediently.

6k words, a little late again~(.)
