Chapter 176: Do not follow the trend of Taoism
The farthest distance in the world is not life and death.
But I am standing in front of you, but you don’t know who I am.
This is the true portrayal of Zhang Ruochen at this moment.
No, Zhang Ruochen should be even more miserable than this, because the figure was not in front of him, but far away in the sky. Even in front of him, he was not a real person.
My heart was filled with lingering feelings and even a little bitter, but whenever I looked up at the starry and moon-covered figure in the sky, the corners of my mouth would still unconsciously curl up a curve.
"From your expression, I guess I am also an admirer of Xuanji Real Person?"
A voice suddenly came from beside him.
Zhang Ruochen turned his head and saw that he was a Taoist priest in blue clothes. He looked very ordinary, and he was the kind of person who was like everyone else when he was placed in the crowd.
However, he did not offend Zhang Ruochen without slapping the smiling person, so Zhang Ruochen would naturally smile.
Zhang Ruochen replied with a smile: "Yes, I admire Xuanji Real People very much."
After hearing Zhang Ruochen's resentment, Taoist priest lit up his eyes and then said, "Do you know? It is said that when the Xuanji Zhenren was introductory, it was not so eye-catching. It can even be said to be extremely mean, but even the ordinary ones were ranked at the end of the introductory disciples, and only received a mid-level evaluation."
Zhang Ruochen nodded, thinking that the Qingshan Taoist priest in front of him was used to explain to the people who read in "Chuyang Lu". When he was reading other people's information, there would also be existence similar to the Qingshan Taoist priest.
Moreover, most of them have similarities with the narrator. The Taoist who explained the Taoist who explained the ancestor Chunyang was extremely majestic, and the girl who explained the fairy of Xue Jian was very beautiful... Then the mediocre Taoist priest in front of him might be the image of the master in Chunyang at the beginning.
Of course, Zhang Ruochen still has questions about one thing: "What is C-medium?"
When Zhang Ruochen entered, Zhang Ziyang and others did not give him similar comments.
The Taoist priest in blue shirt was puzzled for a moment, and then replied, "There are regulations for Chunyang to recruit disciples. Generally speaking, only after being tested can he be considered qualified. During the assessment, Chunyang's teacher will conduct comprehensive evaluations from all aspects of mind, character, physical cultivation, and family background.
Since it is an assessment and evaluation, there will naturally be a distinction between high and low. The evaluation is from top to bottom, which is nine levels: A, A, A, B, B, B, C, C, and C."
Zhang Ruochen understood the explanation of Taoist Qingshan and said, "If there are no people like Ding, then Bingzhong is indeed the end."
"That's true. To be honest, the evaluation of C Zhong is just just getting started, but it is precisely because of this that Xuanji Zhenren is very hard-working in his practice. When others take a break from their busy schedule, he is very calm and has a very clear understanding of his own situation and never does useless things."
"Can you give an example?"
Zhang Ruochen asked, because he didn't know what his master looked like before, so he hoped to hear more stories about his master here.
Because, the figure in front of me who was like stars arching on the moon, supported by many lords of Chunyang, who stepped into the lords of Chunyang, was really unable to overlap with the dark Taoist priest.
At this moment, the crowd had begun to shift and began to go to the main peak of Chunyang under the guidance of Chunyang's senior management.
But Zhang Ruochen and Taoist Qingshan did not go with him. The two of them moved away slightly and came to the pavilion on the side of the road, watching the crowds of people.
The whisk in the Qingshan Taoist priest waved, as if he had turned on a switch, and the conversation suddenly opened, saying, "For example, because the ancestor Yan Cangyun cut off the sky with a sword, Chunyang set off a craze for sword cultivators. Everyone wanted to ride the sword to get rid of the wind and eliminate demons in the world. At that time, 90% of the disciples of the same class as Xuanji Zhenren chose swords when they first chose swords. Even if they were not sword cultivators, they would learn several sword cultivators, but only Xuanji Zhenren, who silently went to Tianji Peak to learn Qimen Dunjia and Tianji Secret Technique."
"Of course no one paid attention to why he chose the most difficult path, because the geniuses they were watching had already entered the sword-head practice, and their eyes naturally followed. But in the end, so many people of their generation had only three swords to make their name. Of course, after today, there will be a worry-free hand, but what does this have to do with them?"
The Taoist priest in Qingshan had no expression when he spoke, but Zhang Ruochen still heard a bit of sarcasm.
Speaking of this, Taoist Qingshan suddenly pointed at a middle-aged Taoist priest and said, "That man is the disciple who was entering the school with Zhenren Xuanji. Now Tongxuan Yuanhe. At that time, he chose to practice swords, and now he has thrown the sword in his hand, calling himself Mingfa, because thirteen years ago he was defeated by a disciple of the Five Elements Sect with the first-hand Five Elements Taoism. Now when he looks at him, maybe he will be able to see him at Tianji Peak tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ruochen also turned his gaze. He saw that the middle-aged Taoist priest had indeed shining with an inexplicable light, his fists were clenched, as if he had made up some determination.
"The most taboo thing about the journey of the great way is to follow the storm. If there is no firm heart, it will only be like the person in front of you. When Master Yan killed the sky with one sword, he was carrying a sword. Today, because of the real person Xuanji achieves the purity and changes his original intention. In the end, they can only be a witness, and the creator is destined to be without a chance."
Looking at the crowds surging around, the Taoist priest in the blue shirt became brighter and brighter: "You are not with them, it's good."
Zhang Ruochen did not answer, but he bowed deeply, even though he knew that the real "people" in front of him were not.
At the same time, Zhang Ruochen's figure gradually became transparent.
The Taoist priest Qingshan happily accepted Zhang Ruochen's courtesy. Then he changed his mind and asked, "Are you leaving now?"
Zhang Ruochen looked at him with a smile in his eyes and said, "I understand what I should understand."
The Taoist priest in the green shirt laughed inexplicably at this moment, like a real "person", his tone was slightly unusual: "That means there is something that shouldn't be understood."
However, Zhang Ruochen was not panicked by this and looked at the Taoist priest Qingshan calmly: "You shouldn't understand, you won't let me know."
At the last moment when his body completely disappeared, Zhang Ruochen looked at the main peak from afar.
...
In the Lingyunfeng Book Pavilion, in front of a bookshelves, a young Taoist priest in blue stood blankly holding a thick book in his hand. There were occasionally people coming and going around him, but they would carefully avoid him. Looking around, there were also people who were as focused as he did in the book.
"Sure enough, I still can't find the answer here about why my master left Chunyang."
After a long time, the young Taoist priest's dull eyes returned to their luster, and he sighed a long time.
"But, it's still a great gain to know that he has such a glorious side. Also, the page about the master should have been written by Uncle Ziyang. Although the Taoist priest in blue shirt looks ordinary, it reveals the breath of Uncle Master."
After thinking about it, Zhang Ruochen felt relieved. From various signs, he inferred that his master's practice is very high and he must be of great importance in Chunyang. So why even if he was in a state of transformation, he would not return to Chunyang.
Of course, it is normal not to let yourself be a little Qi-training monk know about it.
"Uncle Master really admires Master. If he lets him know that after his master left Chunyang, he became a dark drunkard and was gambled and often went to brothels with Mr. Wang Nanshan to cultivate his heart, what would he look like?"
Thinking of this, Zhang Ruochen smiled inexplicably and finally laughed out loud.
As he laughed halfway through, a scolding suddenly came.
