Ordinary Cultivation of Immortals in Shushan

Chapter 208 Preaching and Solving Confusion
Even though the news had nothing to do with cultivation, and it wasn't the secret of Meng Qiu's current encounter with the enemy, he and Eighth Aunt Zheng still listened with great interest.

After the story of Yixiu and his wife was finished, Gongye Huang seriously warned: "You hear these things in your ears, but you rot in your heart, so don't tell others, let alone in front of the hunchback.

This person has a bad temper, if he knows that someone is talking about his privacy behind his back, he will definitely die.I am not afraid of him, but you are determined not to provoke him right now. "

"Naturally." Meng Qiu said, "Yesterday's defeat, I will definitely find a chance to win it back in the future. But I also need to be upright and upright to convince him.

It's nothing more than a verbal dispute, I won't use such low-level methods to lose my reputation for nothing. "

Gongye Huang said again: "However, you can't be pedantic. Although the hunchback is annoying, he can be regarded as an upright person. It's best not to play tricks.

But if you encounter those evil heretics, such as the demon corpse Gu Chen, don't have any scruples, if you want to do something bad, do it badly, and sneak attack if you want to. "

Meng Qiu laughed and said, "Of course I can save this. There may be upright gentlemen in the mortal world, but I have never seen such a pure person in this world of cultivation. If others don't obey the rules, I will naturally retaliate."

"It's good that you understand." Gongye Huang nodded and said, "Although you have offended many people and caused many troubles, you don't need to worry too much.

I will borrow your place to retreat for a while, and when I come out, I will talk to a few old friends and let people know that I have been promoted.

By the way, let me introduce it to you. If other people want to touch you, they have to weigh it. "

"Senior's being able to retreat here is to support me. It's too late for me to be grateful. It's too polite to use borrowed words."

Meng Qiu paused for a moment, then continued: "I said that I want to give up the cave to senior, it seems a bit fake.

But the Lingyu Cliff originally occupied by Yaoshi Guchen, the prosperity of inspiration and the magnificent terrain are not inferior to this place.

Lingyuya belongs to me right now, if you don't mind seniors, you can use it to make a temporary cave after you leave the customs. "

Gong Yehuang didn't refuse, and said happily: "I still thought that the Black Wind Valley would be destroyed, and if I couldn't find a foothold in time, I would have to wander around again.

It is of course good to be able to pick up a cave for nothing.That place must be much stronger than Black Wind Valley, there is nothing to dislike. "

He agreed, and said to Zheng Bagu: "I will retreat for at least half a year this time, so I will trouble you to come forward and arrange the cave mansion into shape. I want to sit back and enjoy the success."

Zheng Bagu turned her head to look at Meng Qiu, and said, "It's not a problem for me to use my strength, but it's not a problem to use my brain. I'd better trouble Fellow Daoist Meng to go to Wudang to accept two more disciples, and ask Gushe Xianlin Luhua to help."

The matter turned around and it came back to Meng Qiu. He couldn't laugh or cry, so he could only say: "Okay, just leave it to me."

After Gongye Huang returned to retreat in the Houdong, Meng Qiu asked Zheng Bagu about other plans.

Zheng Bagu thought for a while, and said: "I don't want to see Yufeng's robes, you can go for me and tell her about my uncle and me.

I will go to Xuegu to erase the traces, and then we will meet in Wudang.As for other things, I will think about it later. "

According to Meng Qiu's words, he closed the cave and went to Yuqingguan, a village to dispel evil spirits.

At this time, Mrs. Yuqing was not in the audience, and she heard from Zhike that she was summoned by the god Ni Youtan.

He had no choice but to leave a letter to invite Mrs. Yuqing to gather in Mangcang Mountain after her return, and then rushed to Wudang.

Zheng Bagu has arrived and is drinking tea in the hall accompanied by half of the old nuns. Beside her are Kong Lingxiao from Wudang Seven Girls Middle School, sisters from the Shi family, and Taoist Zui who stayed in Wudang to take care of Yang Da.

Meng Qiu came over and first asked about Yang Da's situation. The drunk Taoist said that there was no change and reassured him.

Asked about the whereabouts of Yaoshi Guchen, half of the old nun laughed and cursed: "The middle land is vast and the world is boundless, it's only been a few days, how can we find it?

Don't be impatient, fellow Daoist Yang's current situation won't get any worse in ten years.Even if you can't find it, there is enough time to think of other ways. "

Meng Qiu nodded. Since he hadn't seen Lin Luhua in the hall, he knew that Bagu Zheng hadn't mentioned the matter of arranging the Lingyu Cliff at all, so he could only open his mouth and said:
"Master, this time, I want to ask Fellow Daoist Lin to help me to decorate the Lingyu Cliff left by the demon corpse. I want to give it to a senior as a cave."

The old nun looked at Zheng Bagu, and immediately guessed that the senior Meng Qiu was talking about was probably Gongyehuang, so he turned around and asked Lin Luhua to come over, and said:

"Last time you taught Master Mi Mingniang Lianshan's Taoism, and I told the eight disciples under my disciples that after listening to it, some didn't take it seriously, some sighed that they knew it too late, and naturally some were tempted.

Then Qiu Zhixian was introduced by you, and she has a lot of connections. Luhua and her are like sisters, so I have the courage to take the opportunity of you to find her to decorate the cave, and I beg you to teach me.

In fact, she still wants you to support Xiaoliu Suman and Xiaoqiwei Yunhe in her heart, but she is too self-conscious to speak up.

Last time, if I helped you catch the demon corpse and get the Wannian Wenyu, I would still have the face to mention it.It's a pity that things don't work out, and I have no face to ask.

But when you came here this time, you woke me up.Big things can't help you temporarily, and small things can be done more, and the little things add up, and it's better than staying still.

Otherwise, if it drags on for a long time, the two of them will not be able to suppress the realm. Once they are promoted to Sanxian, they will have to go all the way to the dark.

I will have a discussion with you, and you will also teach her the two golden elixirs. How about we slowly repay this kindness to you? "

Meng Qiu immediately said: "If the teacher doesn't know my temperament, she wouldn't say this; since she knows me, why bother to say more.

I will stay at Lingyu Cliff for a while, and I will ask fellow daoists Su and Wei, fellow daoist Qiu, fellow daoist Mi, and fellow daoist Yu to come over together. "

Not long after, Lin Luhua came over and talked about the situation.Waiting for Suman, Wei Yunhe, Mi Mingniang, Qiu Zhixian and Yu Yingnan, who is learning swords, to go back to Mangcang Mountain.

Zheng Bagu and Lin Luhua arranged the Dongfu according to Gongyehuang's temperament, while Meng Qiu taught Su, Wei, Mi, and Qiu Jindan the essentials every morning, and taught Yu Yingnan the sword skills in the afternoon.

Time flies, and March flashes by.

Mi Mingniang was the first to come into contact with the Golden Elixir Taoism, during which she had listened to two lectures by Meng Qiu, and had already exchanged her Wudang true energy for this Taoist magic power.

This time I came here, naturally I want to get more guidance, to see if my path has gone astray.

After all, Su Man, Wei Yunhe learned Taoism from half of the old nuns since they were young, and their foundations are solid. After receiving the teachings, they will soon be able to comprehend, and they went back to Wudang to retreat together.

Only Qiu Zhixian was still slow, taking twice as long, but the progress was not half as fast as the two senior sisters.

……

"Your swordsmanship is certainly good, but it's only good. Even if you put it on a monk who doesn't focus on swordsmanship, it can be called amazing."

Meng Qiu was instructing Yu Yingnan on swordsmanship, with a slight smile on his face, but his mouth was not polite, and said:
"But you claim to be better than the successor of the Emei Ziqing twin swords, to continue the Sanfeng Zhenren's lineage, and to carry forward the Wudang swordsmanship, which is a bit outrageous.

If you only rely on your current ability, it will be too far away.I'll give you another month, if there is still no breakthrough, I advise you not to come out and make such jokes again. "

More than ten years have passed since Yu Yingnan was taken to Wudang, and he has grown up already.

Her face stayed at the age of seventeen or eighteen, with a three-point heroism in her beauty, especially her thick eyebrows and piercing eyes, which made her look tougher.

Because of his outstanding talent, he was regarded as the next generation head of Wudang early on, so he was very favored by the whole family, and he never heard a word of reprimand.

But here, in a short period of time, I have been scolded countless times.

Qiu Zhixian, who was listening on the sidelines, would shrink her head in fright every time, never expecting that the mild-tempered Senior Meng Qiu would have such a harsh and mean side.

Yu Yingnan was also unconvinced at first, but Meng Qiu lowered his mana to Jianji and sent her the worst Huang Guangfei sword to beat her powerless. Only then did he realize the gap between the two and become humble.

In the following time, he did not dare to slack off at all, practiced according to the opponent's requirements, and corrected the flaws in the sword technique bit by bit.

In terms of the proficiency and mellowness of Wudang swordsmanship, it is no longer inferior to many brothers, sisters and even uncles in the sect.

It's just that no matter how hard she tried, or even showed her amazing talent in swordsmanship, Meng Qiu was always dissatisfied, and her mouth was full of belittling and ridicule.

She didn't dare to talk back in person, but she complained to Lin Luhua twice in private.The latter didn't dare to ask, so he could only comfort him:

"I heard from my master that this fellow Daoist Meng's swordsmanship is so high, from ancient times to the present, except for the great sage Guangcheng, maybe he is only ranked behind Master Changmei, Master Lu Zu, and Master Ji Le, and is comparable to Master Sanfeng.

I'm afraid the master's swordsmanship doesn't catch his attention.It is extremely rare for you to join his disciples to learn swordsmanship.

In addition to a little friendship with Daoist Guangming Guanghui back then, it is more because of Master's consistent support over the years, no matter whether he is prosperous or in distress.

Even so, you see, Junior Sister Su, Junior Wei, and Junior Mi were sent back early by him and refused to teach more.

To be able to strictly demand my junior sister, it can be seen that I have put my heart into it.He's not the kind of person who hides his secrets. I'm afraid it's something you didn't do well to pick on you.Don't complain, practice well. "

It's not that Yu Yingnan doesn't understand these truths, it's just that he has been spoiled for many years, that's all.Once instructed, immediately wake up and redouble our efforts.

In the past half a month, he felt that his swordsmanship had made more breakthroughs and improved significantly, but the more this happened, the more Meng Qiu looked down on him, and his words became more pungent.

Unexpectedly today, she was scolded again, just as she left wronged, Bagu Zheng came over and said: "I just heard you scolding that little girl again, you are really demanding.

I have seen her sword skills these days, and she has already entered the room.It may not be as good as you, but compared with me back then, it is much better than Liu Quan's contemporaries.

If this is the case, you will not be able to enter the eyes of your sword fairy Meng, so what else can you do to satisfy you? "

Master Baishui Liu Quan has always been famous for his outstanding swordsmanship, and his reputation is even higher than Taoist Zui and Taoist Iron Man.

He has cultivated the superb swordsmanship in the foundation building period, and the world will at least be a great swordsman like the poor god Linghun in the future.

Zheng Bagu compared Yu Yingnan with him, which is already a very high evaluation.

But Meng Qiu didn't think so and said: "When I met Liu Daoyou, I was really amazed by his sword skills, and I also thought that his future achievements would be limitless, and I yearned for it.

But in these years of sword practice, I asked myself that my swordsmanship had already surpassed him. Looking back, I realized that he had a serious problem. If he couldn't correct it, not to mention the difficulty of improving his swordsmanship, it would be a problem to be promoted to an earth immortal.

He was too proud of his talent in swordsmanship, and before he knew it, he forgot his original intention, and took sword practice as the top priority in his life, treated people and things, and acted according to the principle of the sword instead of the way.

If things go on like this, the swordsmanship is regarded as sacred, and it cannot be regarded as ordinary, and it is like lifting a heavy weight. How can we make a breakthrough?
If you use too much force in the technique, it will inevitably happen in the way of Taoism.If you think about the god camel Yixiu, Yin Jian is not far away. "

Bagu Zheng thought about it carefully and couldn't help but nodded.

Although Liu Quan cultivated Dao later than her, he was not inferior in talent at all, but she was still able to be promoted to Earth Immortal ahead of her after several decades of delay, which showed the problem.

She couldn't help sighing, and said: "He used to think that he couldn't be promoted because he didn't have a famous teacher, but he has been under the poor god Ling Hun for a long time, and he still stays where he is, which is very abnormal.

It seems that the problem is what you said, too obsessed with art, and forget the Tao.I don't know when he will be able to figure it out. "

Meng Qiu smiled lightly, and said: "This matter is difficult to say, and easy to say. After all, it is something that runs through the life of practice. If you really want to change, you need great wisdom and perseverance to be willing to let it go."

"What is there to be reluctant to do? Can swordsmanship be more important than Taoism?" Zheng Bagu shook her head and said:
"So you think that the little girl surnamed Yu also has this problem, so she hit her repeatedly so that people can understand that the things I'm proud of are nothing more than that?"

"Yes and no." Meng Qiu said: "What Yu Yingnan cares most about is not his swordsmanship, but his outstanding talent.

She was born in a difficult situation, and talent is the key to her escape from the quagmire, so it is a matter of course that she attaches great importance to it.

But the two fellow Taoists, Guangming and Guanghui, who adopted her, were shocked by her aptitude and dared not accept disciples, but it was a fallacy, which caused her to attach deformed importance to aptitude.

It seems that this talent is the most important thing, and all my gains come from it. The so-called teacher's teaching, the subtlety of Taoism, and my own hard work are all second.

The more serious ones regard all their efforts as fulfilling their talents, ignoring the simple truth that cultivating the Tao is of course cultivating the Tao for themselves.

Empty spirituality, no creativity, only step-by-step growth.Such a waste of talent, in my opinion, is also mediocre. "

Hearing his thorough analysis, Zheng Bagu couldn't help but wondered: "Even half of the teachers and this little girl's senior sisters have never seen this kind of problem, how could you know?"

Meng Qiu said indifferently: "Because I used to be this kind of person, thinking that I could achieve something because of a very rare opportunity."

The opportunity he mentioned actually refers to the matter of time travel.

In the previous life web article, it is not surprising that the traversers are all favored by destiny, and they know the development of things beforehand, so it is not surprising what kind of achievements they can have.

He was lost for a while, thinking that if he followed the steps, he could fly to the sky casually.

It wasn't until he realized that many things were different from the original work he knew, and returned after several times of martial arts, that he was a little shaken.

Furthermore, Zhongtu Overseas has wandered here and there for many years, experienced many hardships and dangers, but can't even make it to a cave, so it is inevitable to fall into self-doubt.

Later, information flooded in, all kinds of chaos and enlightenment, and when Taishan lost his cultivation base, his soul stagnated, and his mind was empty, he realized something and became sober for a while.

Meng Qiu added: "The reason why I treat Yu Yingnan like this is to wake her up.

Let her know first that her talent is the key to being admired by all the stars in Wudang, but in my opinion, it is not worth mentioning.

If I can't even meet my basic requirements for her, what is there to be proud of?

Only when she doubts her own talent will she wake up from her blindness and recognize her current state.

Only in this way can the spirituality explode, truly appreciate the mystery of the endless changes in swordsmanship, and step into a new world. "

"You are such a good master!" Zheng Bagu said: "But she is a Wudang disciple after all, and she doesn't have such a good relationship with you. According to my understanding of you, she wouldn't have to put in so much effort. Why?"

Meng Qiu said solemnly: "Take copper as a guide, you can straighten your clothes; take history as a guide, you can know the ups and downs; take people as a guide, you can know the gains and losses.

If I correct her like this, am I not exploring the way and using it for self-examination? "

Zheng Bagu immediately understood, but saw Meng Qiu staring at him with strange eyes, she couldn't help being startled, and was about to ask, but suddenly realized.

It turns out that Meng Qiu is not just teaching Yu Yingnan to introspect, but actually reminding Zheng Bagu not to be obsessed with appearance, to be too strong, thus delaying her practice!
