Immortality, Starting from the Side Sect

Dongshan County, Li Mansion, inner courtyard.

Chen Ci took a sip of tea outside, while Geng Yuanqing was talking to his mother inside.

It is indeed a troublesome thing for a monk to accept a disciple. Even if he accepts a servant, he prefers a person who is quick and agile. For example, Chen Ci returned from Wuyan Mountain to the county town for more than sixty miles. He took this boy with him. After walking for a whole day and night, Mr. Chen was exhausted.

As for why he walked so slowly, it was naturally because Mr. Chen was kind-hearted. The old horse he bought was too old to ride two people.

Yeah, kindhearted.

During the tea time, the two people in the room did not dare to leave Chen Ci outside, so they quickly ended their conversation and came out together.

Mrs. Xu gave a big salute to Chen Ci, while Geng Yuanqing prostrated on the ground, glanced at Chen Ci, and said carefully: "Uncle, I wonder if I can take my mother with me to Xishan Mansion?"

Chen Ci did not comment, put down the tea cup, and said calmly: "Theoretically, it is possible. Although our monks are seeking Taoism, they do not have to abandon love and disregard human ethics. However, this is not taught in the religion. The environment of Xishan Mansion It’s also more complicated. If you haven’t achieved success in cultivation, it’s best to wait until your teacher comes back before making such plans.”

Geng Yuanqing was slightly shaken and did not dare to get up.

Instead, Mrs. Xu took out a stack of banknotes from her sleeves, presented them respectfully, and said, "I don't dare to delay my child's path. Besides, Yuanqing is away seeking enlightenment. I can feel at ease living in the Li family. I have some money. One is to thank the immortal for saving his life, and the other is to thank the Taoist for bringing Yuan Qing back."

"That's all, cultivating Taoism costs a lot of money. I can only provide three meals a day and leave them all to him."

Chen Ci waved his hand. After all, he was Ahu's disciple, so he had to forget about the money: "Have you finished talking, let's hit the road. Although the journey of more than a thousand miles is quite far for mortals, for monks, it is only a month. We will meet again soon, so don’t worry too much.”

Mrs. Xu finally felt relieved when she saw that Chen Ci had a calm expression on her face and was not pretending to shirk. She stuffed the money into Geng Yuanqing's arms. Mother and son held their heads and cried for a while. Although they were reluctant to give up, they quickly regained their good mood. , let’s just say goodbye.

Chen Ci led Geng Yuanqing out of the county town. It was naturally impossible for him to walk up the river with a mortal, so he simply found a dock and took a boat.

Both of them set out in simple clothes. It was Geng Yuanqing, a boy with tied hair, who went on a long trip for the first time, so he only brought four books and two clothes.

Shi Xian's legacy, the Heart Sutra of Nourishing Qi, a third volume of the Three Yins and Qi-Eating Methods.

And a volume of Shisuo Hunyuan Gong.

During the holidays, what kind of family would not give a few exercise books to their children when visiting their children, right?

As for the Three Yin Qi-eating Method, one third of the volume is enough. For the rest, I have to ask his teacher Ahu.

snort.

Fortunately, this boy is also a cultivator. His specific qualifications are hard to say, but it can save Chen Ci a lot of training time.

"My generation of monks practice Qi-eating techniques, and we focus on Zhenqi cultivation, but some martial arts that strengthen the muscles and bones are also beneficial to our practice."

Chen Ci had nothing to do on the boat. The boat going up the river couldn't go very fast, and it still took several days to reach Xishan Mansion. It was impossible to practice spiritual practice, so he could only practice the soul-fixing talisman to maintain it. Life.

"There are some seniors in the world of cultivation who like to play with mysteries and add mental barriers. There may be some mystery hidden in your Stone Immortal Genealogy, but the probability is one in ten thousand. You can try it when you have free time."

Chen Ci touched his chin, as if he had thought of something, and couldn't help but remind him a few words: "But it's okay to play with chess records and other small things occasionally. If you really get addicted to it and delay your practice, I won't care about you. Someone will teach you in the future."

"Yes, Uncle Master, Yuanqing understands."

Geng Yuanqing may have read poetry and scriptures. Although he is still a little green in life, he never forgets etiquette and is very respectful. Chen Ci talks about some things and listens carefully to his teachings. He is an easy person to lead. batch.

Chen Ci nodded slightly, and the unfamiliar feeling of raising a child for the first time slowly faded away, but inexplicably, he thought of Heshan Sect again.

He probably understood why he was admitted to the Heshan Gate and did not become a weapon-refining material for a certain Heshan evil cultivator. In the Liang Kingdom, some Heshan Gaiden would also collect some soul boys and send them to the Heshan Chief Teacher. Accept him as a disciple.

Although Heshan can be regarded as a place of spiritual cultivation, most of the Miao territory is populated by mountain people and barbarians, who are too uneducated. Some things cannot be done well without qualifications. In other words, the place where the Heshan sect is born is not It's so good, it's probably one of the reasons for being in the side door.

"If you think about it more carefully, Longhu Mountain established the territory of the Liang Kingdom, opened up a sea market, and cultivated evil fields. Overseas monks, side sect monks, and scattered practitioners collided with various cultivation concepts, and the fire of human nature was inherited. It may not be possible to see it in a short time. No matter what, but over time, I'm afraid it will become the foundation of a large sect. With this structural concept, I don't know how much better it is than the Heshan Sect."

Chen Ci grinned. Ever since he had eaten a big cake, he had started to worry less about the Heshan Sect. The emotional Heshan Sect had already taken on the shape of Mr. Chen, right?

However, for those quick-acting evil spells in the Heshan Sect, it is very difficult to accept disciples and let them practice the spell without harming others.

Chen Ci immediately put these thoughts behind him, and took advantage of the fact that it was noon to complete today's practice plan for the soul-fixing talisman. He also gave Geng Yuanqing some pointers on the key points of the Nourishing Qi Heart Sutra, and went to rest by himself, fully focusing on the practice. I have a few days of free life.

Five days later, Xishan Mansion.

Chen Ci got off the boat and couldn't help but sigh when he saw the familiar environment.

In his entire life, Mr. Chen spent more than 20 years teaching on Dulong Mountain in Heshan, and he didn’t have much nostalgia. Since then, he has mostly practiced hard at Sanyin Temple. He occasionally came to Xishan Mansion to do some side work, but he didn’t miss him too much. Having been away from home for so long, I felt like I was back home after being away for so long.

There was no time to sigh, Chen Ci simply took Geng Yuanqing to Fuhu Altar. After all, Xishan Mansion had such a big change last year. First, the master of Fuhu Altar and the county deacons were widely dismissed in the assessment, and then new ones were appointed. More than ten people from Heshan's head teacher, Gao Xiu, were inexplicably 'disappeared' and their whereabouts were unknown. Although it was said that everything was fine, he had to go to Fuhu Altar to find out the specific situation, otherwise he would still be regarded as the master of Sanyin Temple. Yes, I'm afraid I have to explain it twice.

The car was familiar with the road, and not long after, Chen Ci arrived outside Fuhu Altar, but before he could step forward, Chen Ci let out a slight sigh of surprise when he looked at the current situation of Fuhu Altar.

Fuhu Temple is actually undergoing extensive construction work, and even the gate has been demolished. The building that originally occupied an extremely large area is now even more vast and majestic, with an inexplicable and unusual appearance.

With such a big fanfare, Ahu, are you sure that the other person is really a temporary substitute?

Chen Ci thought for a while, but he didn't know anything and couldn't think of anything. He simply went to the door, found a Taoist boy, and said, "Chen Ci, a lay disciple of Heshan Sect, is a close friend of Taoist fellow Yanshan of Chilongguan." My friend, I received a request from Brother Yan in Liangjianghai City a few days ago. He said that after arriving at Xishan Mansion, he must visit his brothers in the clan, that is, the three disciples of Master Shen Tan. That’s why he came to disturb me. Please let me know. .”
