Starting from the Tiger Demon Yaksha, the demon immortality

Chapter 135 Chapter 134 Son and Apprentice, Each Discusses His Own Opinion

Taiyi recalled the past.

Li Qingtong came to his side when he was in his teens. He had been deprived of fatherly love for more than ten years, and it was also a time of rebellion.

The relationship between father and son is not to say that they are incompatible, but they are also disgusted with each other.

As for his son's cultivation, Taiyi initially gave him a general direction and provided him with enough resources, and then he stopped interfering in his studies. He was only focused on breaking through the bottleneck in the alchemy path.

Later, when he broke through the bottleneck and his mood changed, Taiyi wanted to care for his son again, but a tragedy happened not long after.

Therefore, his role as a master and a father was very rough.

He admired Qi Ci's dedication and meticulousness from the bottom of his heart.

It must be admitted that with Qi's assistance, it would be very beneficial for Li Cunxiao's martial arts journey.

But the other party would not be willing to raise an apprentice for someone else.

"Then it seems we can only borrow the chicken to lay the egg."

When Taiyi Zhenren thought of this, his mind suddenly became clear and his expression became much softer.

"I agree that I will not compete with you for this disciple."

"really?"

The big monk narrowed his eyes, half believing and half doubting.

But they are all masters of the same generation, it is impossible to force the other party to swear to the Three Pure Ones and Three Treasures, right?
"Of course it's true. You're a better master than me."

But that doesn't mean he's going to give up.

Taiyi Zhenren smiled cunningly, and took out a set of tea sets from somewhere. He even invited Dezheng to sit down and watch the tea:

"Come, come, come. It's a rare opportunity. Brother Qieci, why don't you tell me? You haven't let Li Cunxiao join you yet. What are your plans?"

"Although I am not as thorough as Brother Dao, one person's plan is weak, and two people's plan is strong."

"This Li Cunxiao is also something I like. If you need anything, I can help you."

"If he grows up to be a great leader, it will be a great thing for our Louguan Dao and the Longxi Li family."

When Monk Qieci heard this, he thought there was nothing wrong.

Even if I fail to accept him as my disciple, I won’t become enemies with him.

Moreover, the other party was indeed wealthy, and he actually had a little bit of thoughts in his mind.

How to refuse investment that comes to your door?

"I am also a monk with strong desires. I have committed many sins. Everything I do is for the continuation of the Dharma lineage."

"If the Buddha knew, he would not have blamed me for saying so much."

He apologized in his heart and smiled.

Ignoring De Zheng's strange expression, he took the teacup and began to talk non-stop:
"Brother Dao should also know that the matter of inheritance is related to the continuation of the Dharma lineage, so it must be treated with caution."

"Li Cunxiao's talent is undeniable, but I only became generally convinced of his character after observing him for half a month."

It turns out it was only half a month earlier than me?
Taiyi's eyes flashed, "Is there something unsatisfactory?"

"Not really. I saw him practicing butchering at the Medicine King's Courtyard. He was down-to-earth and had no frivolous air."

"What's even more rare is that I specifically asked Junior-nephew De Zheng to give him this butchering job because I wanted to test this kid's patience."

"I didn't expect him to mind the dirt and tiredness at all, and sometimes he even rushed to do the work. He was friendly to his fellow students and very sociable."

Monk Qieci was very emotional when he said this.

He was originally a kind person, but he was a bit violent when he was young, which made him have enemies everywhere and few friends.

Li Cunxiao is extremely talented and can make friends well. Whatever he wants to accomplish in the future will definitely be much easier than being a master.

However, when Dezheng heard Monk Qici's frank confession, he felt a slight chill on his back for some reason.

Taiyi Zhenren secretly withdrew his gaze and sneered in his heart.

Well, it turns out that Li Cunxiao was dragged away to slaughter demons, and the culprit was right in front of him.

Write this down! I'll tell you all about it later. This is the dark history of Monk Qieci torturing his disciples!
"If that's the case, then Li Cunxiao can be said to be both civil and military, a rare talent."

After pretending to think for a moment, Taiyi suddenly sighed.

"However, Brother Qieci made many enemies in his early years. I'm afraid he has concerns about this and has been reluctant to show up yet?"

The fat monk looked embarrassed, as these words really hit his sore spot.

Whether it is a holy place of Buddhism or Taoism, or the Five Surnames and Seven Families, they are powerful and mixed with good and bad people, so it is difficult not to have bad elements.

In his early years, he was a person who could not tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes. When he encountered such a thing, one can imagine what the consequences would be.

If the monk himself was not also a genius, he would have grown so fast.

In addition, as he grew older, he knew how to leave room for maneuver in things. I'm afraid he would have gone to hell long ago.

".Alas, that is indeed the case. Not to mention far away, there is a donor in the Magu Mountain lineage who is biting me to death."

"I'm not afraid, but Li Cunxiao is only at the internal organs level, so he's really weak."

"I thought, at least I should wait until he is about to break out of his true form before appearing again, and I can also protect him at the same time."

Taiyi was also a little surprised when he heard this.

"Magu Mountain? Those Shangqing Beidi Taixuan disciples?"

"I remember that the Beidi Sect has strict disciplines and a reputation for its integrity. How did you get involved with it?"

Upon hearing this, Monk Qieci just waved his hands repeatedly and refused to say another word.

"No, this bald donkey has enemies everywhere. If Sanlang falls into his hands, he might be implicated at any time."

Taiyi's mind raced, but he sang praises loudly:
"So, Brother Dao is indeed thoughtful."

"I also think that you can let this young friend Dezheng teach you the Dharma and hone your skills at the same time."

"After a year or so, when Li Cunxiao's character, character, and cultivation are truly impressive, it won't be too late to be frank with him."

"This is also a kind of protection for him."

Monk Qieci agreed with this and turned to look at Dezheng.

"Nephew, I will have to trouble you more in the future."

Faced with this situation, the old monk De Zheng had a thousand words to say, but in the end he could only say "OK" in a depressed tone.

Can he say no?
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Taiyi Zhenren stood up and said goodbye.

Monk Qieci would definitely stand up and see him off until he reached the door, staring at him silently throughout the process.

Taiyi's eyes were always looking forward, and he didn't glance sideways at all when passing by Yaowangyuan.

The old Taoist priest rode away on his green horse.

"Uncle Master, this Senior Taiyi is truly a trustworthy person."

De Zheng's words were half true and half false.

He is not accepting disciples, and if he makes it too clear, he will offend people.

But if he didn't tell him, he would be sorry for the friendship that Monk Qieci had shown him as his half-mentor.

If you are a little more cautious, you should be able to read something different into these words.

"Believe in people? Believe in balls!"

When the fat monk saw the Taoist walking away, he suddenly started cursing.

"What a bull nose! He keeps trying to stop me. I need more time to hone him, maybe a year or two, so he can come and steal my girlfriend."

"That's my apprentice!"

Monk Qieci put his hands behind his back and walked back and forth at the door. After a moment, as if he had made up his mind, he pinched his fat hands and the red flame turned into a lotus and flew in front of De Zheng.

"Nephew, we can't wait any longer. Ask Decong to find a reason to call Li Cunxiao tonight, and you will pass on this method to me."

"No matter what this old ox-nosed man is planning, once I achieve my true form, there will be no possibility of switching to another cultivation form."

"I don't believe Li Cunxiao is so stupid that he would leave the great road to heaven and choose to destroy his martial arts to follow that old bull!"

De Zheng put the lotus into his sleeve and found it funny when he heard it:

"So what were you discussing with Senior Taiyi just now about requesting the magic elixir?"

"Pretentious?"

"What the hell! Don't you know whether this poor monk's cloth bag is empty or not?"

Monk Qieci was also feeling wronged, it was not that he could not afford to support his disciples.

But if Li Cunxiao is to be promoted quickly and steadily within one or two years, how can he, who has always been generous and charitable, compare with the wealthy alchemist Taiyi?

"Old Niubi, you were the first to have such evil thoughts, don't blame me for getting something for nothing."

Monk Qieci snorted coldly, and seeing Dezheng still trying to suppress his laughter, he immediately became embarrassed:
"If you don't go, I'll rob your Tiangu Temple!"

"You bald donkey, you guard against me like a thief. That's my son!" As they walked down the Karma Mountain, Taiyi Zhenren became angrier and angrier, to the point of speaking without thinking.

But as he got more and more angry, he couldn't help but laugh.

He did say that he would not compete with Qi Ci for his apprentice, but an apprentice is an apprentice and a son is a son.

Even if he cannot recognize him as his son, as long as he has not formally become his disciple, he still has a chance.

He has plenty of elixirs and magic treasures, not to mention that Li Cunxiao already has a wind wheel in his hand, which is a token of trust.

I'm already way ahead!

"The 'Nana Sutra' is truly extraordinary, and the 'Asura Sword Art' is a truly wonderful tantric technique."

"The Dao sect doesn't have any supernatural powers. This is an opportunity, but Qici is not stupid. How can he get something for nothing?"

Taiyi frowned and thought, then clapped his hands after a moment:
"Have it!"

The blue horse sensed its master's intention, and with its four hooves galloping, it quickly passed through the gate of Songzhou City and arrived at Zhang Lishi's house.

The latter was in his study thinking about reopening the escort agency when suddenly a breeze blew by and a tall figure appeared in front of him.

"senior?!"

"Sit down, I need your help with something."

Taiyi Zhenren didn't hesitate and spoke directly:
"In a few days, find an excuse to call Li Cunxiao back. I have something to discuss with him."

Zhang Lishi was confused. "Why don't you just go directly to Tiangu Temple?"

If I can get in, do I need to call you?
Taiyi glared at the former fiercely, and Zhang Lishi immediately stopped talking.

"You should come up with an explanation!"

So urgent? You want it now?
Zhang Lishi was really exhausted. He racked his brains and suddenly thought of something. He asked tentatively:

"My senior once told me that the Dao of Alchemy and the Dao of Weapons are interconnected. Sanlang has a magic weapon embryo in his hand, and he has always wanted to refine it into a magic treasure."

"That's a good idea!"

Taiyi's eyes lit up, and he looked at Zhang Lishi with a little more approval.

Qici has Dezheng and Tiangu Temple, which is called geographical advantage;

He has relatives and friends like Zhang Lishi and Li Cunxiao, which is called harmony among people.

It is still unknown who will win, so I will fight with you, a bald donkey!
"Bring the Wind-Fixing Bead."

Zhang Lishi was stunned when he heard this, but he did not hesitate, because this thing was originally given to him by Taiyi Zhenren.

Besides, there is a green lion of unknown realm guarding the mansion, so there is no need to worry about security.

"In a few days, when I'm ready, you can ask Li Cunxiao to come back."

"I will refine this bead into a mid-grade magic treasure and return it to you."

He has no habit of letting people work for nothing.

He explained a few more words, then disappeared again, walked out the door in a blink of an eye, and rode his horse back to Pingdingshan.

When he reached the top of the mountain, Taiyi Zhenren went straight into the cave.

With a finger gesture, a golden glass-like lotus suddenly rose from the cold pond.

"Old bald donkey, I also want to thank you for your sweet dew, which made this golden lotus mature early."

“Although it’s not as good as the legendary Seven Treasures Lotus that can bring the dead back to life, the wood spirit energy within it is incredibly pure.”

"They say fire overcomes wood, but I, the old Taoist, insist on using wood to overcome fire. The dragon devours the yaksha and transforms into a dragon in one fell swoop."

"Before that, let Sanlang refine the eight demons and clean up the battlefield. Then we can achieve our goal in one fell swoop."

Taiyi Zhenren was full of confidence. When he turned to look at his son's tombstone, the depression in his heart was not as heavy as before.

"My son, if it is really you who has been reincarnated, this time, I will not let you down."

"Dad will double what I owe you."

After muttering a few words in a low voice, Taiyi Zhenren became full of fighting spirit again.

He stretched out his hand and the tombstone and cenotaph suddenly rumbled. A moment later, a golden light flew into his hand, and it turned out to be a palm-sized golden necklace.

A vibrant green light rose from the old Taoist's eyes, nose, and mouth, and then suddenly turned into a blazing fire.

After reaching its crimson peak, it turned into pure white, and its scorching breath instantly enveloped the golden collar:

"Refining!"

"What does Chief Decong want to see me about so late at night?"

It was almost midnight, and Li Cunxiao was walking alone in the corridor of Yaowangyuan.

He was just meditating and practicing when Yuanhuai suddenly came to ask him to go to the alchemy room, but when he asked him, he didn't know what it was about.

Don't let it be another whim, otherwise he will have to bear it.

"First Master, this disciple requests an audience."

I knocked on the door gently, and after a moment, the door opened automatically without any wind.

It was still the same familiar simple room, but this time, there were people sitting on both sides of the table in the middle of the tea room.

One was Decong with white eyebrows like wings, and the other was an old monk who looked familiar, but whom I had never seen before.

Li Cunxiao thought for a moment and suddenly blurted out:

"Abbot Dezheng?"

De Zheng was also looking at the young man in front of him. To be honest, this was the first time they had met officially.

Judging from his appearance alone, you would never guess that this burly young man is such a tough guy who suppresses eight demons within his body.

With such a tenacious mindset, it is no exaggeration to say that sooner or later, he will achieve great things no matter which sect he joins.

"Have you seen my portrait in the city?"

Seeing the old monk's kind expression, Li Cunxiao relaxed a little.

"Yes. I haven't thanked you for your kindness to the escort agency, to me and my fellow apprentices."

As he said this, he bowed, but he couldn't bend his waist any further when he was halfway through.

"Justice lies in the hearts of the people. The abbot's job is to uphold justice."

"Otherwise, how can I have the face to call myself a Samana? What Dharma can I practice? How can I become a Buddha?"

Li Cunxiao couldn't help but praise, "The abbot is worthy of the title of a man of great virtue."

The Buddha is compassionate and wise. He can use various methods to control the minds of practitioners and lead them to the right path of Nirvana, just like a horse trainer is good at controlling the nature of horses. Therefore, he is called the Horse Trainer.

His words were a compliment to the other party for promoting good and eliminating evil, and for punishing evil and promoting good. It was a genuine flattery of a monk.

De Zheng smiled and was about to say something when he suddenly noticed the other person's gaze shift.

Looking over, I saw Decong holding a red lotus in his hand, staring at something with wide eyes.

"You dare to look at the unique skills that Senior Qie has left for his apprentice? You're really asking for death!"

De Zheng snatched it away and cursed his fellow apprentice using the secret method of sound transmission.

"Since the senior has allowed me to pass on my unique skills, that means I have tacitly agreed to take a look."

"Brother, this is a fire-based martial art that is even more advanced than the Garuda Fist Sutra. It will be very helpful for me to make pills."

'Shut up! Are you the abbot or am I the abbot?!'

Li Cunxiao looked at the two old monks staring blankly there, feeling a little confused.

But the crimson lotus was so attractive to him that he couldn't take his eyes off it the first time he saw it.

"Ahem, Li Cunxiao, I'll be honest with you."

"I know that you are at the internal organs level."

"Although I have already accepted a closed disciple, I still can't bear to bury such a talented person."

"Although this unique skill is incomplete, it is unique in refining demons, but it is also extremely difficult."

"If you have the heart, then use it to comprehend"

"But once you have mastered it, there is no such thing as practicing multiple techniques at the same time."

"Each of you masters will inherit a high-grade martial art. I will definitely not accept you. After reading this, please consider it carefully."

After De Zheng finished speaking, he smiled slightly at the other party's eager gaze and pushed the red lotus towards him.

Li Cunxiao suppressed his excitement, thanked the two of them, and then gently held the lotus.

In an instant, countless golden Sanskrit characters flew out like chains and lingered around his body.

Amidst the Zen chanting, Sanskrit sounds, bells and drums, the exquisite Dharma flowed in his heart, and shock and ecstasy occupied Li Cunxiao's mind.

"Abbot, I wish to learn this method!"
