Hidden moth

Chapter 181 Jinlin feels that the Dragon Gate is there

The rules of the sect not only set rules for the disciples' behavior, but also for the masters. The techniques needed to be practiced step by step, but when the master taught them, the fundamental mental methods of each level must be complete and without any defects.

In other words, according to the ancient rules of the sect, a master cannot hold back on the most crucial matters of inheritance. This is also the basic requirement of fulfilling one's responsibilities, keeping one's promises, and protecting the lineage.

If the master feels that the disciple's talent is insufficient or his character is biased, he may not teach the Dharma in advance or teach the disciple more practical techniques. However, after the disciple reaches the corresponding level of cultivation, the fundamental Dharma he is taught must be complete.

He Kao's observations suggested that the subtle technique Ku Cha had taught Ye Liangcheng seemed flawed, or perhaps incomplete. Ye Liangcheng had already reached the third level of cultivation, but his mastery and application of spiritual awareness was clearly flawed.

Upon inquiry, it turned out to be true.

When Ku Cha taught Ye Liangcheng the secret method, he had asked him not to reveal the content of the secret method. But by then, Senior Huo Qing had already revealed all the secret methods and the secret formulas, and his explanation was even more detailed and complete than what Ku Cha had taught him.

There was no need for Ye Liangcheng to keep it secret anymore, so he told Senior Huo Qing in detail what Ku Cha had taught him and how he had taught him.

Ku Cha had taught Ye Liangcheng several practical techniques, all of which were highly targeted. He Kao himself had also sparred with Ye Liangcheng and found him to be quite skilled.

In terms of skill alone, Ye Liangcheng was actually no less skilled than Ren Zhongqing, whom He Kao had met before. Ren Zhongqing was a true third-rank warlock of the Xinpan Sect, and Xinpan Sect disciples were known to be the best at fighting.

He Kao was able to act like a master in front of Ye Liangcheng and seemed to be able to defeat him easily after two fights. In fact, there were two factors.

Through the diligent training during this period, especially the practice of the Ice Skin and Jade Bones and the "beating" by Master Tan, He Kao's skills have improved a lot compared to when he encountered Ren Zhongqing.

On the other hand, He Kao's mastery and application of spiritual consciousness is much more sophisticated than Ye Liangcheng's.

The third-level fundamental mental method that Ku Cha taught Ye Liangcheng was not complete. This did not seem to affect Ye Liangcheng's daily practice, but it made it almost impossible for him to see the way to break through.

According to this situation, no matter how much Ye Liangcheng practices, he will not be able to reach the perfection of the third level, let alone break through to the fourth level.

He Kao completed the basic mental method for Ye Liangcheng, but he was not a practitioner of the Ruwei School. It was only according to what Jiang Daozhen had told him that Ye Liangcheng himself was the one who seriously practiced the Ruwei School.

Ye Liangcheng was of course very grateful. After He Kao left, he sat alone for a long time, blankly thinking about something. Later, his emotions got a little out of control, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing, which alarmed the five wolfhounds in the park.

In the end, Ye Liangcheng finally opened another bottle of wine and got drunk.

But He Kao was very confused after returning. He couldn't understand Gu Jiang's intention. Why did he teach Ye Liangchen the fundamental method with incompleteness? Because it was unnecessary!

He Kao tracked down Ye Liangcheng, originally with the intention of dealing with Gu Jiang's cleaners, but in the end he felt quite sympathetic towards Ye Liangcheng. Ye Liangcheng was also a victim, and he was not a particularly evil person.

There's an old saying in the East that goes, "Learn from others as a mirror," which is actually a way of looking at things. He Kao saw a bit of himself in Ye Liangcheng.

He couldn't help but ask himself, what would happen if he were replaced by Ye Liangcheng? The answer might be cruel. It would be difficult for him to see through this situation on his own, and it would be difficult for him to escape the same situation.

So what can he do? The answer is again - the cause is not clear, and he sees me as I am.

In fact, what He Kao said to Ye Liangcheng was his own thinking - even if he became a disciple of Ku Cha, it did not mean that he had lost the ability to judge right from wrong.
Even if Ku Cha saved his life and taught him the Dharma, if Ku Cha asked him to do something, he could not blindly follow her and had to make his own judgment.

The reason why Ye Liangcheng was lucky was not only because he was not a bad person by nature, but also because of his status and duties. Gu Jiang did not send him to do anything extremely evil.

In front of Ye Liangcheng, He Kao spoke very measuredly, revealing a lot of information bit by bit. So far, he has not directly revealed the means of bitter tea, nor has he revealed all the truth right away.

Because doing so would be hard for Ye Liangcheng to accept, and he might even feel like the whole world has collapsed... If it were Huang Xiaopang who handled this matter, Ye Liangcheng would probably have collapsed by now.

However, after passing on the complete third-level mental method of the subtle technique to Ye Liangcheng, as long as Ye Liangcheng is not a fool, he can gradually figure out the meaning by himself and realize that there is something wrong with his "master" Ku Cha.

Ku Cha had obviously deliberately held back when imparting the secret technique, making it almost impossible for him to break through to a higher realm, let alone defeat Hu Shulue in the future.

As Senior Huo Qing, observing and guiding Ye Liangcheng, He Kao naturally had his own considerations. Leaving Ye Liangcheng there first would allow him to lure out the other cleaners, and then investigate what they had done.

It is impossible for He Kao to do everything by himself, these things can also be handed over to Ye Liangcheng.

Why was the inner cultivation method passed down by Ku Cha incomplete? Was it because he was afraid that Ye Liangcheng would have the opportunity to break through to the fourth level in the future and really seek revenge on Hu Shulue? Or was it because he was afraid that Ye Liangcheng's cultivation would be too high and difficult to control in the end?
But if you think about it carefully, these are not the real reasons. Everything Ye Liangcheng knows is taught by Ku Cha. Even if he has a complete third-level mental method, it is almost impossible for him to break free from Ku Cha's control.

The fundamental mental method only represents the realm of cultivation. If you fight with others, what is more important are the various application methods, especially the magical tools... As long as he is under the supervision of Ku Cha, Ye Liangcheng will probably not be able to defeat Hu Shulue no matter what.

Even if Ye Liangcheng could reach the perfection of the third level or even break through to the fourth level, it would be difficult to see the truth. Would Gu Jiang and the Huiming Shi family still be afraid of him? Wouldn't it be better to have a subordinate with a higher level of cultivation to work for him?

He Kao always felt that there was another reason.

According to Ye Liangcheng's presentation, he had met Master Ku Cha's fifteen disciples one after another. Among them, the one with the highest cultivation level was at the third level, including himself, there were three in total, another five were second-level sorcerers, and the remaining seven were at the first level.

Zeng Hongye, a fourth-level martial artist of the Xingshen Sect whom He Kao met on the northeastern border, also privately taught a foreign apprentice, Xiao Si, whose cultivation level was also third-level.

It seems that the disciples who were secretly taught by these people without the knowledge of the sect had no cultivation level higher than the third level.

Since you have doubts, the best way is to ask a high-level warlock you are close to. The best person is the guard steward of Lingxi Sect.

He Kao now knows that after a sorcerer breaks through the fourth level of cultivation, he needs to go to the ancestral hall of the sect in the major caves in Fengwei Township and undergo a second transmission ceremony before he can inherit the high-level magic.

It is important to pay attention to the relationship between the two. You do not have to accept the second inheritance to break through to the fourth level of cultivation, but you should break through the fourth level of cultivation and then accept the second inheritance.

He Kao also learned from Wei Luo that to reach the secret realm of the cave where the sect's ancestral hall is located, one cannot take the tunnel road that has been opened now, but must take the ancient path that crosses mountains and ridges.

The rules of each sect actually consist of two parts. One part is specially designed for high-level sorcerers, and those who have not reached this level are not qualified to understand it.

Why didn't He Kao ask Lao Qian for advice? Because he had nicknamed Lao Qian "the most strict mouth in the world".

Of all the people He Kao knew, Qian was the most tight-lipped and the best at keeping secrets. As long as it wasn't something he should say, Qian wouldn't tell anyone, no matter how close they were! For example, while Qian knew Huang Xiaopang was a hidden moth, he never told anyone, not even He Kao, who knew the truth.

Before Lao Qian went to participate in the second inheritance ceremony, he was reminded by He Kao in advance, but after he came back, he did not mention anything about the secret realm of the cave and the second inheritance ceremony.

It seems that there are some mysterious details after breaking through the fourth level. According to the unspoken rules of the sect, it will not be told to guests like He Kao or low-level disciples at will.

"Deacon Wei, I have a question in my mind, but it's hard to find anyone to ask."

"You don't have to call me Deacon Wei. You're not a disciple of Lingxi Sect who has committed a crime... Didn't you always call me Xiao Luo before?"

"I never thought that a young girl like you would actually be a deacon of Lingxi Sect."

"That can't be helped. It's because Lingxi Sect has too few disciples. Deacons are required to have a fifth-level cultivation base, and each sect must have three. If I don't do it, Lingxi Sect won't be able to gather three deacons."

"Thankfully, we have someone as gifted as you. Otherwise, Lingxi Sect wouldn't even be able to muster three fifth-rank deacons."

"You specially invited me to Pugang Town today and even cooked for me yourself. Isn't it just because you have something to ask me... Don't keep praising me, just ask."

This weekend, He Kao did not go to see Ye Liangcheng. He took the time to invite Wei Luo to Pugang Town to visit the place where his master used to set up a chess stall, and then go to his home for a meal.

They didn't eat out or order takeout. He Kao cooked the dishes himself. This was the treatment of an elder. He Kao even prepared a bottle of wine and persuaded Wei Luo to drink some. From the perspective of an outsider, it was like the Big Bad Wolf coaxing Little Red Riding Hood.

Because He Kao was wearing a gray T-shirt, and Wei Luo happened to be wearing a red sun-protective jacket with a hood.

Hearing Wei Luo's words, He Kao said somewhat embarrassedly: "I mainly want to invite you to taste my cooking skills and ask you some questions. How is this dish? Is it to your taste?"

Wei Luo: "Well, very good, everything is delicious, I like it... have another drink!"

He Kao: "Drink less, eat more vegetables... Did you rarely drink alcohol before?"

Wei Luo: "Master doesn't allow me to drink it, but I think it tastes very good."

They drank just to liven up the atmosphere. He Kao didn't expect that Wei Luo's alcohol tolerance was really not that good. Two small cups were like the beauty of spring crabapples, and he was already a little drunk.

He didn't intend to get Wei Luo drunk on purpose, so he tried to dissuade him: "Since Elder Jiang won't allow us to, let's drink less. You don't have to do it anymore..."

Wei Luo: "Master trusts you, it should be okay to drink with you."

He Kao: "Even if you're fine, you can't drink too much."

Wei Luo: "What do you want to ask me?"

He Kao: "You know Wu Yanjun, right? You're also familiar with his situation. What would have happened if his master hadn't told him to go find his uncle Ye Hui after he was released from the detention center?"

Wei Luo: "That's a wandering cultivator."

He Kao: "Is it possible for a casual cultivator to break through to the fourth level and become a high-level sorcerer?"

Wei Luo: "As long as you have the complete inheritance of the first to third level spells, it is theoretically possible."

He Kao: "So after he breaks through the fourth level, will he be unable to obtain the second inheritance?"

Wei Luo: "Don't you know? Oh, you really don't know! In fact, you will know after breaking through the fourth level."

He Kao: "What does he know? He has no master to tell him."

Wei Luo: "I mean, you will know after you break through the fourth level."

He Kao: "But I haven't broken through to the fourth level yet, so stop tempting me."

Wei Luo: "If you haven't reached the fourth level, you usually don't need to know, and Master won't tell you."

He Kao: "Would it be against the sect rules to say it out loud?"

Wei Luo: "There is no such rule."

He Kao: "You are not my master, so just tell me."

Wei Luo: "It's actually very simple, but I'm afraid it's hard to understand if I explain it to you. After your cultivation breaks through the fourth level, you will naturally feel something, as if the heaven and earth are calling you to a certain place."

He Kao was surprised and asked, "Is it so magical?"

Wei Luo: "It's so magical, even my master doesn't understand the mystery. The seven major sects have seven caves, and what you sense is the direction of the corresponding cave... As long as you follow the call and guidance, you will find it.

Therefore, although there have been many independent cultivators since ancient times who only learned the techniques but not the sect, as long as they broke through the fourth level and became high-level cultivators, they can basically return to the sect.

He Kao: "Does this kind of sensing come with a navigation map?"

Wei Luo: "No, it's just a vague direction. As for how to get there, if you are a wandering cultivator who doesn't know the way, you have to find a way yourself.

It's quite convenient for disciples of the current sect. They don't have to search blindly. First, they need to go to the clan hall in Fengwei Township to register. Then, as required, they can follow the path taken by their ancestors since ancient times and cross the mountains to reach the cave."
