Start cultivating attributes from one person to immortality

The more Zhang Rongshan talks about Chu Ci, the more confused he becomes. How many people can he bring when he brings guests?

Longhu Mountain has experienced the baptism of "big tourism", so are you still worried about the crowds?
  Zhang Rongshan saw that Chu Ci didn't understand, so he said: "Junior brother, today is different from the past. Those pilgrims who came to pray for God could be dealt with by those from the Taoist Academy in the past. But since you solved the puzzles for those two people, people have been coming up to ask for answers. , each of them is either rich or noble, and they also ask you to solve their doubts. Even if it is not you, they also ask people from the back mountain to come forward. Regardless of whether it is right or not, they do not want those from the Taoist Academy to solve their doubts.

I don’t know where they got the list from. We tried substituting people but it didn’t work. They had identified the back mountain. There was no other way. I had to go up in person. Senior brother, although I don’t have your skills, junior brother, I still have some skills. As time went by, more and more people asked me for solutions. At first, it was only circulated among their own circles, but later more and more "friends" knew about it. In the end, there were dozens of people who came to me for solutions a day. people.

There were dozens of people, each saying a few words, and each person speaking a few words. I didn't even have time to sit down and rest throughout the day. It was really impossible to live this day. "

Zhang Rongshan kept sighing and lamenting, but he still had a proud expression on his face.

No matter how tired he is, the fact that so many people are looking for him is enough to show that Zhang Rongshan's practice has been recognized by the world.

After hearing this, Chu Ci looked at Xiao Yan and asked curiously: "Xiao Yan, as the saying goes, a hairless mouth means a weak work. According to the nature of Chinese people, it shouldn't trouble you too much. How did you get into it?"

Xiao Yan also lamented and said: "Originally, I went to Qianshan to assist my uncle, just to take care of other matters, and there was no difficulty. But I don't know since when, those tourists started to come to me. I didn't consider the consequences at the time. , I am happy to answer other people’s questions, but I didn’t expect that I won’t be able to do anything else for half a month. As long as I show up in Qianshan, I will be surrounded by tourists.”

"No, how on earth did you solve the puzzles for the tourists? Is it possible that you succeeded in solving the puzzles?" Chu Ci asked.

Zhang Rongshan's eyes were also full of doubts, and he said: "I don't know. Many times I can't see the problem. I just deceive it on the surface. But the rumors are getting better and better. Now I have almost become a living thing in the eyes of outsiders." It’s magical.”

"Living god?" Chu Ci was stunned.

This word is not a simple compliment, it can be said to be the highest evaluation of a person who practices Taoism.

The last person who was said to be a living god was the Heavenly Master.

Chu Ci doesn't have that kind of glory.

"Master, don't believe it. Now my uncle is almost more famous in the outer sect than my master." Xiao Yan said.

"Yes, really?" Chu Ci looked Zhang Rongshan up and down for a moment, looked at him who was looking upright, and suddenly smiled and said: "Brother, since everyone thinks you are a living god, then you can just be this god, don't you think it's troublesome , because you respond to requests, senior brother, don’t forget that if the Dharma is not taught personally, you will be punished by God for revealing the secrets of heaven so easily. Go back down the mountain and dye your hair white, and stipulate that it is only given to three people every day. Confused, it won’t take long for you to feel at ease naturally.”

"What a great idea, Master." Before Zhang Rongshan could react, Xiao Yan jumped up and praised, "As expected of Master, his brain is smarter than ours, and he immediately thought of a solution."

"Hmph, otherwise I wouldn't be your master." Chu Ci raised his head slightly with a proud look on his face.

Zhang Rongshan thought about it carefully and said: "Junior brother, the method you mentioned is OK, but it is easy to go up the mountain, but it is difficult to go down the mountain."

As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the harder you fall. Not everyone can stand firm on the altar.

Zhang Rongshan is still self-aware. In the circle of strangers, he is considered the number one figure, but he is by no means a top figure. If he ascends to the altar, he may not be able to control it.

Seeing this, Chu Ci stopped his smile and said seriously: "Brother, although it was a joke just now, you still have to sit on this altar."

"Ah? Why?" Zhang Rongshan was puzzled.

Xiao Yan also cast a doubtful look.

Chu Ci glanced at Xiao Yan, then his eyes fell on Zhang Rongshan, and said: "Brother, don't forget that before the Taoist Academy settled in Qianshan, the management of Qianshan was under the full control of the Tianshi Mansion. At that time, there were many Taoists on the mountain to answer questions. , but besides Master, who is called the 'living god'?"

Zhang Rongshan was stunned and before he could react, Xiao Yan said thoughtfully, "Master, do you mean someone is deliberately creating gods?"

Chu Ci nodded lightly and said, "Yes, as expected, someone is deliberately creating gods and creating another 'living god'."

Hearing about the creation of gods, Zhang Rongshan was more confused, "No, junior brother, I can understand the creation of gods, but why choose me, choose Longhu Mountain? Everyone in the world knows that the master is the living god, why are you still thinking about creating gods?"

Chu Ci chuckled and said, "Zhu Chongba didn't expect to become the emperor at first. He just wanted to have enough to eat and drink."

Zhang Rongshan is not stupid, and he immediately understood what Chu Ci meant, "Junior brother, you mean someone wants to support me and then deal with Tianshi Mansion? Isn't this funny? You know, how could I be detrimental to Tianshi Mansion? ?”

Chu Ci nodded and said: "Yes, senior brother, we all know your character. Zhang Rongshan of the Tianshi Mansion will definitely not be detrimental to the Tianshi Mansion, but what about the 'Living Immortal Zhang Rongshan'?"

Zhang Rongshan's body shook violently.

Chu Ci narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "The altar of the living gods was not given to you by the Tianshi Mansion, but by the outside world. If you want to maintain the status of the altar, you have to always meet the requirements of the outside world. So if a certain person Does the outer world require you to deal with the Tianshi Mansion?"

"You won't even kill me."

"Brother," Chu Ci interrupted Zhang Rongshan and said, "Don't say no, just like Zhu Chongba, if there was no later history, a beggar who couldn't afford a single meal and was covered in pus, do you think he could become the emperor? Is it? Impossible, no one thinks it is possible, but the fact is that Zhu Chongba became the emperor.

So nothing is absolute. People can't help themselves in the world. When Zhang Rongshan of Tianshi Mansion becomes Zhang Rongshan, a living god, you will no longer be you. "

Chu Ci's words made Zhang Rongshan break out in a cold sweat, because he knew that he refused the title of 'living god' at first, but as countless people called him that, he began to feel complacent and began to respond to others' calls. Unexpectedly, he seemed to have taken on the title of Living God.

"Teacher, junior brother, according to what you said, it would be better for someone else to take the title of Living God. I, I would be better off cultivating in the back mountains."

Zhang Rongshan wiped the sweat from his forehead, but felt his heart beating fiercely.

Chu Ci shook his head and said: "Senior Brother, besides Master, there is no one else in the back mountain who can do the job. Moreover, Senior Brother is now on the altar. If you want to retreat, you can't just say it casually. Believe it or not, you won't be able to do it for a few days." Go to Qianshan, and those leaders should find the master in person."

Zhang Rongshan's eyes widened and he said at a loss: "What should I do? If I become a living god, I will become someone else's puppet. If I don't become one, the higher-ups will use this reason to suppress my Tianshi Mansion. Then I have not become a Tianshi Mansion." sinner?"

"Didn't I give the solution to my senior brother?" Chu Ci said.

"Ah?" Zhang Rongshan was stunned, his head already in a state of confusion.

Xiao Yan next to him said: "Uncle Master, didn't Master just tell you to dye your hair black and only accept three pilgrims a day?"

"Can this be solved?"

"Otherwise, if the outside world wants to create a god, then you will become their god. But your god is not a god who responds to their requests, but a god who cannot get anything they ask for. There are three a day. There is no need to count or see accurately. There is no need to solve the puzzle, you just need to learn from the talents of the Taoist Academy, be ambiguous, the secret cannot be leaked, and add your makeup, over time, those with bad intentions will naturally retreat.

At the same time, this is also a rare opportunity for you, senior brother, to become a 'living god', or a living god worshiped by countless people. This is not something that everyone can encounter. If you can understand something from it, maybe the fake can become real. . "

"Make the fake come true. This..." Zhang Rongshan still hesitated.

Chu Ci knew what Zhang Rongshan was hesitating about, and said bluntly: "Brother, cultivation is also called cultivation, which means eliminating the false and preserving the true. The path of cultivation itself is to explore the true and false. Why do you care about the true and false in the moment, just like our meridians, but Not everyone has the ability to look inside, so the operation of the meridians is not all based on imagination, so isn’t that false? And when you can look inside and see the meridians, then it is true, so if it is true or false, you can’t just look at the surface. .”

"Junior brother, no, this problem is too complicated and I don't have enough brain power. I'd better ask Master for instructions." Zhang Rongshan finally gave up thinking on his own and turned the problem to Master Tian.

When Chu Ci saw this, there was no change on the surface, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This god-making is really a great opportunity for Zhang Rongshan.

If he can understand the truth, his future achievements will be limitless, and it is entirely possible to become a living god. However, he chose to hand over the problem to the Heavenly Master. This may be true, but it also means that he gave up thinking about Tao.

"Okay." Chu Ci said no more.

Tao is a very mysterious thing that can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words. Some principles are very simple, but they have no effect when spoken.

His guidance to Zhang Rongshan ended here.

Seeing that Zhang Rongshan's work was solved at this time, Xiao Yan hurriedly said: "Master, Master, what about me, what should I do?"

"You?" Chu Ci glanced at Xiao Yan and said calmly: "Young people, there are always times when you make mistakes. Knowing your mistakes can help you improve a lot."

Xiao Yan has the brains to play with Wang Zhenqiu, so he doesn't understand Chu Ci's meaning.

This makes him take the initiative to make mistakes.

As long as he is not effective, the number of people looking for him will naturally continue to decrease.

As for the accident, he is not a young man, so he should make mistakes.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan also laughed and said, "Thank you, Master, for your advice."

Chu Ci waved his hand and said: "It's not me who is instructing you, but you take the honor of Tianshi Mansion too seriously. You want to do everything well and be worthy of Tianshi Mansion. However, you don't know that it is because of this extreme The idea of ​​​​putting Tianshi Mansion on another kind of altar, an altar where no mistakes are allowed.

The current Tianshi Mansion is not as peaceful as you think. Fortunately, Master and his old man broke out, making Tianshi Mansion an imperfect sect. Xiao Yan, you should also take this opportunity to ruin the reputation of Tianshi Mansion. "

Xiao Yan and Zhang Rongshan looked at each other. They understood part of Chu Ci's words, but they didn't understand part of them.

However, they probably also understood that the Tianshi Mansion was a big tree that attracted the wind, and it was time to prune its branches.

Otherwise, if a Category [-] typhoon blows one day, this towering tree should be blown away.

"It's so complicated just thinking about it, but it turns out that cultivation is the simplest and most innocent thing," Xiao Yan couldn't help but mutter.

Zhang Rongshan nodded in agreement. He didn't think it was rare to be human and sophisticated before, but today he suddenly realized that the things he could understand were all shown to him, and there were many things he couldn't understand.

"It's better to practice cultivation." He also sighed with emotion.

Seeing that the two of them were suddenly determined towards the Tao, Chu Ci couldn't help but smile and said: "You guys, meditation is the Tao and life is the Tao. How can you only practice one thing? What if you become like Junior Brother Lingyu?"

‘Master, you are scolding Uncle Lingyu, right? It must be so. ’

Xiao Yan roared in his heart, but did not dare to say a word.

Zhang Rongshan's mouth also twitched.

‘That’s weird, what’s going on? It’s wrong. I’m the senior brother. I should be the one bluffing him.’

With this thought in his mind, Zhang Rongshan was as quiet as Chu Ci's disciple, standing obediently next to Xiao Yan, not daring to breathe.

Seeing that the two of them were distracted, Chu Ci waved his hands in disgust and walked straight down the mountain.

When Zhang Rongshanhe and Xiao Yan saw him, he couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Master, where are you going?"

"Junior brother, you just came back, are you going out again?"

Chu Ci turned around and nodded helplessly, saying: "Originally, I wanted to rest on the mountain for a while, but after hearing what you have experienced, it is better to take precautions against some things earlier."

"Beware."

Zhang Rongshan and Xiao Yan looked at each other with solemn expressions.

"Junior brother, is something big going to happen?"

Chu Ci pondered for a moment and said, "I can't tell clearly, but you all have to be careful. That's it. I'm going down the mountain first. It won't take too long. I'll be back in about two days."

"Master, walk slowly."

"Junior brother, be careful all the way."

Zhang Rongshan and Xiao Yan watched off, and when Chu Ci left, they went to the old Tianshi's house together.

Chu Ci's words gave them a sense of urgency. They didn't dare to delay things, and there was nothing wrong with taking precautions.

Here, Chu Ci went down the mountain not to any other place, but to his hometown, the place where he knew Su Xiaoxiao.

It was already late at night when we arrived at Yingtan from Longhu Mountain.

Yingtan is a little-known city. Due to the existence of Longhu Mountain, the tourism industry is quite developed. Over the years, the street buildings have been constantly renovated and renovated, and now they no longer have their original appearance.

However, no matter how prosperous the city is, there are always its old places, such as the school where he studied in high school and the school districts surrounding the school.

Mingyuan Middle School, standing in front of the huge stone gate full of age, Chu Ci's eyes were filled with emotion.

I think back then, he was also a student here and had to go in and out of this gate every day.

In order to repay the training of Mingyuan Middle School, he also dedicated a college entrance examination champion to the school.

"Haha, I don't know if my photo will still be posted in school."

Almost every school has a wall of honor.

Some post photos of outstanding students, some post photos of certain teachers, and of course, some post photos of various good ‘alumni’.

Unconsciously, Chu Ci walked towards the school.

But he didn't want to think about what time it was. He was sneaking around the school gate alone in the middle of the night, so of course he would be noticed.

"Sir, what's the matter with you? If you're fine, please don't stay here."

The guard's voice came from the gatekeeper's office. He didn't know if he was returning to his old place, but the voice sounded very familiar to him. (End of chapter)
