Strange mountains and rivers

Seeing Chen Shanghong's silence, Chen Huaisheng also knew that the other party must have felt that he was backing off and wanted to shift the responsibility to him.

But this is not my responsibility in the first place. I have been away from home for many years and have never considered settling down in Yuanbaozhai. I can't think that it is my responsibility just because I come back, right?

The current situation in Yuanbaozhai is very complicated and troublesome. No wonder Chen Shanghong refuses to accept it.

The trouble brought back by Chen Jisheng has not yet been resolved, and he himself does not know what is going on here. He also does not know the strength of the group of people who killed Chen Shangxiong. After all, it is too easy to kill Chen Shangxiong, and even the first stage of Qi Refining can easily kill him. He has no way to judge the opponent's level.

In addition, winter is still a few months away. How big will the monster wave be this winter? Can the people in Yuanbaozhai be able to withstand it? No one can tell clearly.

If it cannot bear it, Yuanbao Village may be reduced to ruins, and other mortals will have no choice but to seek shelter in the surrounding villages, and the Taoists may become food in the bellies of monsters.

Sighing, Chen Huaisheng knew that no matter what he said now, they would not believe it.

Fortunately, I had already planned to stay in Yuanbaozhai for a while. There were still a few months before returning to the north, so I had relatively plenty of time.

Originally, he wanted to get the essentials of these sutras given to him by Mi Shaohua and go back to practice as soon as possible. But now that he can't go back for the time being, he could just settle down in the village and deal with the affairs of the village and practice at the same time.

"Let's do this, Uncle Shang Hong. Dear uncles, I will stay in the village for a while. We will discuss how to do it when we come down." Chen Huaisheng raised his hand and wiped the lid of the matcha cup, "Jisheng's return. , I will also find out what is going on. If anyone knows, you can tell me."

Hearing that Chen Huaisheng was going to stay in the village for a while, Chen Shanghong and the others felt a little calmer. In any case, if Chen Huaisheng could stay, there would be room for negotiation.

The crowd gradually dispersed, but Chen Huaisheng kept a few young Taoists behind.

These talents are the hope of Yuanbaozhai in the future.

Even though there is a clear gap between their talents and the disciples of the sect, they are innate Taoist species after all and have the conditions to enter the Tao. However, these sect recruits feel that their investment is not worth it, so they They will be eliminated in the screening.

Looking at these energetic faces, Chen Huaisheng was a little distracted.

How should I face them?

It is definitely not feasible to bring them back to Dahuaishan, but it is difficult for Chen Huaisheng to give them hope but abandon them as if they were old shoes.

Then leave them here.

But how to make them stay here willingly and at the same time give them real hope?

Branch? House of Commons? Assistant door? Named disciple?

Chen Huaisheng ran through several thoughts in his mind, but he felt that they were not very suitable or lacking.

The eldest is eighteen and the youngest is eleven, both of whom have not yet entered Taoism.

Maybe I can try to be a teacher to others and help them enter the Tao?

As soon as this idea came up, Chen Huaisheng felt that he was a little obsessed and thought about it over and over again.

He recalled the situation when he entered Taoism. Xuan Chimei gave him a Qi-Shunming Pill. He was injured at the time, but after taking half of the Qi-Shunming Pill, he could not help but find the path. He had been practicing for many years. The insights came up bit by bit, and finally reflected in my heart, and everything came naturally.

The Qi-Smoothing Pill was very precious to me at that time, but to me now it is not worth mentioning. There are better pills in my bag than the Qi-Shunming Pill, so I might as well give it a try.

However, Chen Huaisheng also knows that entering the Taoism does not rely on elixirs, but rather on understanding and penetrating that little bit of heaven's heart. The role of the elixir is just to help the ascetics stimulate the perception of the root, bone, meridian, and marrow, so that they can capture that little bit of heaven's heart.

This point is said to be more difficult than climbing to the sky, and said to be easy is as easy as the palm of a hand. It all depends on the Taoist's true intention.

"..., you should have heard what I just said to the elders. Maybe some of you are a little disappointed, but I will not deceive anyone. Now the future of Yuanbaozhai can only rely on you. Maybe you will say, you all If we don’t stay, how can we defend Yuanbao Village without even entering the Taoist Gate?”

Chen Huaisheng thought to himself and said: "I don't want to hide anything. You are all innate Taoist species. You yourself know that you are actually one step away from entering the Tao. But after entering the Tao, you still face the practice of practicing Qi, which is also a far away step. , the path of cultivation is like this, one step at a time, never-ending. Where you practice is important, but more importantly, you must have the heart to practice..."

"Now I can't take you back to the Chonghua Sect because I don't have the right, and your talents are not enough for me to take you back to the Chonghua Sect, but I hope that one day you can use your performance to prove that you can be upright. Stepping into the gate of Chonghua sect,..."

The originally gloomy eyes of a group of people now brightened up again, as if they could hear some hidden meaning in Chen Huaisheng's words.

"Brother Huaisheng..." ˆ ˆ "Brother Six..."

Chen Huaisheng stopped a few people who wanted to speak and waved his hand, "I know what you want to ask. I will give you such an opportunity. I hope you can seize it. I plan to live in the village for a period of time. During this period, you Starting tomorrow, we will come here at 10:00 in the morning, and I will guide you here..."

After sending everyone away, Chen Huaisheng closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

This is not a whim. The talents and qualifications of these people do not meet the qualifications to join the Chonghua Sect, and naturally they cannot be selected by the Zijin Sect and Baishi Sect, but this does not mean that they cannot enter Taoism and practice.

Now that I have some capital, I can give them a fortune. Whether I can change their destiny depends on themselves.

He can get elixirs like Qi-Shunmai Dan, and this elixir is not important at the threshold of entering the Tao. It still depends on their own understanding, or their spiritual roots, whether they succeed or not, it depends on their own understanding. These two months.

Chen Huaisheng plans to stay in Yuanbaozhai for no more than two months at most. He will do his best to help them, but to be honest, Chen Huaisheng has no idea how far they have gone.

In his opinion, if four to five of the nine people can enter the Tao, and if two to three of these people can succeed in refining Qi, the delay of one or two months will be worthwhile.

"Senior brother, do you really plan to stay in the village for two months?" Ou Wan'er didn't expect that she just suggested that Chen Huaisheng come back for a while, but it caused so many troubles. Now he actually has to stay for two months, and he has to bear the burden. So many people were burdened with leading the way in practice, which actually made her feel a little uneasy.

"Well, it's okay to stay for two months. Anyway, we have plenty of time now. I plan to practice when I go back, and it's the same in the village." Chen Huaisheng was very calm, "I just have to go to the county town to let Brother Mi Come here, just in time to enjoy the countryside life. ”

Ou Wan'er didn't care about Mi Shaohua. She was more curious about what Chen Huaisheng planned to do: "Then do you plan to accept them as disciples?"

"Wan'er, you misunderstood." Chen Huaisheng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Their talents are definitely not suitable for Dahuaishan. Even the Chonghua sect may not be qualified. But as a member of Yuanbaozhai, I can't be right now. I turned a blind eye to the situation, so I considered an alternative. I wanted to try to guide them into Taoism, and then teach them how to practice. Whether they can do it depends on their nature. "

"Do you really think that they can all succeed in enlightenment and start practicing Taoism?" Ou Wan'er asked: "If they really do it, what are you going to do, senior brother?"

Chen Huaisheng said slowly: "I have already said that if they really do that, I can of course take them to the Chonghua Sect or even Dahuaishan. I am also happy to see it happen, even if they can't get there. One step, at least I can leave a few seeds for Yuanbaozhai."

Ou Wan'er also pursed her lips and nodded: "Then what does Senior Brother need from me? I was the one who persuaded Senior Brother to come back, but it caused so many things. I am fully responsible."

Chen Huaisheng laughed, "This is my hometown. It's natural for you to persuade me to come back. Why does it become your responsibility? Wan'er, you don't need to blame yourself. Of course, I also think you can actually try to work with them." Explore it. Your spirit body and your Yin spirit merge too quickly, so you may not be able to truly appreciate the Qi refining that begins with enlightenment. This trip may allow you to relive this feeling, which will be helpful to your future practice. It will also be helpful..."

While Ou Wan'er was cleaning up her old house, Chen Huaisheng also went out for a walk alone.

The situation in the village remains the same, not much has changed.

The number of mortals is still growing slowly, and the number of people born every year is also increasing. At the same time, the same is true in surrounding places such as Blackwood Cliff, Luohamburger, and Fengtong Ridge. Even the tide of monsters has not affected this.

…

"You mean Huai Sheng is back?" The man was suddenly startled, "When did it happen? He didn't leave?"

"Well, he came back with a woman, and he also saw the situation in the village. Uncle Shang Hong wanted him to stay, but he refused, but he said he would stay for a while, and also asked about you... "

"Ah?" The man was startled and then reacted, "What does he know?"

"I'm not sure what he knows. I just want to tell him that if anyone knows about your situation, tell him that he is from the Chen family of Yuanbaozhai and will not allow outsiders to destroy Yuanbaozhai..."

"Yusheng, what does he mean by this..." The man thought hard, and then his face changed slightly, "No, he must know about your relationship with me..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Huaisheng's clear voice sounded outside the cave: "Jisheng, can't you even believe me? Or have you really made a huge mistake and had people chase you from Yijun to here?"
