Chapter Eleven: The One Who Achieves First
As the saying goes, "When a person is in the world, he has no control over himself." For Hu Xuanzong, it is difficult to practice in the world. Once the heavenly gates of the two realms are opened, the current world of practice will inevitably undergo major changes, and the gourd view will inevitably attract attention.
It is also very necessary to make good friends with the government and major sects. Through this trip to Shennongjia, Hu Xuanzong also had an intuition that perhaps God made him reborn, not simply to make up for the regrets of his previous life and revitalize an unknown Taoist temple.
Although Ming Xueli and Chen Biao, who were accompanying the tea, did not understand very well, they finally realized that the world was going to undergo a major change. With many practitioners like Hu Xuanzong, it would be almost impossible for the government to do their best to restrain them.
When talking about someone notifying me that I should have dinner, Hu Xuanzong said: "I shouldn't go out again in a short time when I returned to the mountain. As soon as I came back, I won't go back to the mountain to prepare a vegetarian banquet for the three real people. I'll have a meal in this villa tonight. How about it?"
"Of course there is no problem!"
He waved to the little flying mouse squatting on the tea pavilion and let him jump to his shoulder. Hu Xuanzong also poured the tea that he had finished drinking directly under the tea pavilion. Even if there was not much spiritual energy left in the tea leaves, it would be a delicious meal as a tortoise.
Seeing Aunt Orchid who brought food for her, Hu Xuanzong also smiled and said, "Auntie, is your family okay?"
"Okay! With this job, I don't have to worry about food and clothing. Speaking of which, I want to thank you more!"
"You are so polite to me! When the three girls come back, let them have time to come to the Taoist temple to sit, so don't be so disgusting. No need to pay too much attention to others. You should know that I still love these three girls very much."
"Well, OK! I will tell them when they come back!"
After using a meal in the villa's kitchen, Hu Xuanzong found three masters and said, "Three real people, let's go to the Taoist temple tonight! Although the foot of the mountain is quiet, for us, it's more comfortable to live on the mountain, right?"
"Indeed! However, your villa is also very good and it is quite comfortable to live in. Then I'll be bothered tonight!"
As for Gong Xingcheng and others, Hu Xuanzong did not invite them. Gong Xingcheng and others did not think anything was wrong. For them, Hu Xuanzong and the three sects were practitioners, while they were real ordinary people.
Who doesn’t want to dream of immortality?
But the three old men all knew that they had no such blessings. If possible, perhaps they should consider selecting some craftable materials from their future generations to see if they have the opportunity to embark on the road of cultivation.
When he walked to Jiejian Pavilion, Hu Xuanzong pinched his fingers and shouted: "San!"
The phantom hidden in the clouds and mist disappeared instantly, and Hu Xuanzong walked in front and led the three masters to climb the mountain slowly. The street lights that illuminated from time to time made the quiet Wulong Ridge seem to have a little more vitality and vitality.
Mingwu and Xunze Zhenren who followed behind him also sighed: "Although this mountain is not as majestic as our sects, it is also more simple and steady. In the future, this mountain will surely become famous for its fellow Taoists of Xuanzong."
"The mountain is not high, but it is famous if there is an immortal!"
Listening to the words of the two real people, Hu Xuanzong also smiled and said, "I ask the two real people to say good things, but we practitioners all think about becoming an immortal, but how many people can truly achieve enlightenment and become immortals? It is worthy of being grateful for being able to live a few more years."
When he arrived at the door of the Taoist temple, he saw the flying mouse that was instantly furious. Hu Xuanzong also smiled and said, "Little guy, it seems that you have sensed it too. I would like to remind you to avoid provoking little things in the future. Otherwise, if you are bullied, I won't help you!"
As he spoke, he pushed open the closed Taoist temple gate, and a phantom suddenly rushed out of the roof of the Taoist temple. Seeing this scene, the old master also said in his heart: "Fellow Taoist, be careful!"
Hu Xuanzong, who stretched out his hand, smiled and said, "Old Master, please rest assured! This is the guardian spirit beast of the gourd temple, a cockscomb snake that opens spiritual wisdom. A little thing, don't be rude! I haven't seen three real people yet!"
The cockscot snake, which was placed in the palm of Hu Xuanzong, still obediently pointed the snake heads at the three real people. Seeing this scene, the three real people were also very polite and gave the cockscot snake a gift. For them, they could also feel that the cockscot snake is not weak.
Looking at the little flying mouse squatting on his shoulders and the cocks-comb snake that turned his head to stare at the little flying mouse, Hu Xuanzong smiled and said, "Little thing, don't scare the little guy. Although his strength is not as strong as you, the little guy is still very powerful.
In the future, you will stay in the main hall of the Taoist temple, and the little flying mouse lives in the bamboo building. No fighting is allowed, otherwise you will be punished. I have something to talk about with the three real people, so you can go back first. This is for you, go back and take it well and refine it!"
From the jade box he was always carrying, Hu Xuanzong took out a few black snake galls that were emitting a trace of fragrance, poured them into his hand, and swallowed the excited cockscoon snake. After not seeing Hu Xuanzong's cockscoon snake for a long time, he also obediently rushed back to the nest of the main hall.
The speed of flying alone shocked the three real people. They knew very well that ordinary foundation-building monks would definitely die if they encountered a cockskin snake. Being tamed by Hu Xuanzong is enough to prove the magic of Hu Xuanzong.
He directly led the three real people to the tea pavilion of the bamboo building, placed the flying mouse under the eaves of the bamboo building, and let him stay there for the time being to eat meat strips. Hu Xuanzong found his tea-making tools and planned to continue the tea talk with the three real people.
When Hu Xuanzong returned to his room to put things in, Zhenren Xunze, who was sitting in the tea pavilion of the bamboo building, sensed it a little and said with emotion: "The level of spiritual energy in this view is probably much higher than that of fellow Taoist Fu Zhen's inner sect!"
The old master who heard this also nodded and said, "Indeed! Although the spirit gathering array has the effect of gathering spiritual energy, it is not endless. There are so many inner disciples, and they absorb a lot of spiritual energy every day, and the spiritual energy is consumed every time.
This Taoist temple is only for the practice of the Taoist fellow Xuanzong. He has not returned for three months this time, so it is normal for him to have such a desire to have spiritual energy. The two Taoist fellows may use this place to practice tonight, so that they can break the fusion and enter the state of mind!”
Hu Xuanzong, who came out with a tea set, smiled when he heard what the old master said, "Don't be too impatient for practice. It is actually a good thing to settle down! Drink tea first, wait until midnight, and it doesn't matter if we practice again!"
Facing Hu Xuanzong's reception, the old master was also curious and said, "Fellow Daoist Xuanzong, I'll take the liberty to ask, have you broken the fusion?"
"It has not yet! I have reached the peak and feel that the advancement is a bit fast, so I deliberately suppressed it. For me, my current state and cultivation should be enough. However, practicing Taoism requires cultivating the mind, and my state of mind requires some experience in order to advance to the state of mind!"
Listening to what Hu Xuanzong said, Zhenren Mingwu and Zhenren Xunze couldn't help but smile bitterly. Compared to their longing for breakthroughs, Hu Xuanzong, whose cultivation is the same as theirs, suppressed the breakthrough.
Thinking of this, the two of them felt that they had lived for so many years in vain. But when they thought about it carefully, they felt that this was normal. After the spiritual energy was revived, they were also on the same starting line as Hu Xuanzong, and they could understand it if they had a similar level.
What really admires the three real people is that Hu Xuanzong can withstand the temptation of rapid breakthrough. If it were young disciples of their sect, they would have been afraid that they would have been able to practice the golden elixir overnight. But is this rapid improvement really good?
The foundation is not solid, the earth is shaking, and the same is true for practice. Through this, the three real people believe more and more that perhaps in the near future, Hu Xuanzong will become the first person in the world of practice faster than them and become the first person in the world of practice today.
In the eyes of others, they are highly respected, but the three of them know that in the future, the strong will be respected by the world of cultivation. As the saying goes, "There is no front and back in learning, and the one who is capable is the first." In terms of practice, Hu Xuanzong is ahead of them, so they must give corresponding respect!
