Chapter 45: Tao Jinhong's Test
There was no reason or reason at all. When I saw the white-bearded old man in front of me, I felt a kind of hatred that I had to eat raw flesh and blood and could not relieve my hatred. I subconsciously pulled out the evil-proof sword that had been blocked by my waist for many years, and then pricked it.
I have learned a lot of skills over the years, and the sudden attack was really terrifying. However, the old white-bearded man stretched out his hand calmly, his palm floating like a cloud, and the next moment, he had already grasped my wrist tightly without moving.
The angry dragon lizard in my mind struggled hard, and I felt a lot of anger. I felt that my hands couldn't be opened, so I bit it with my mouth, kicked it with my nails, and grabbed it with my fingernails. After all this, I saw the white-bearded old man slightly grinning his lips and shouted: "The way of heaven is the world is impermanent, know others, know the self, and know the world. The Supreme Lord is urgent and as ordered, forgive me!"
After saying this, he squirted at me. It seemed that there was the breath of mugwort, which was rich and rolling. The dancing dragon lizard in my mind seemed to be hanging down by thousands of bounds, tied it tightly without moving. Then the bondage dragged it towards nothingness. My eyes stinged, and I saw that this thing was swirled by an abstract yin and yang fish swimming endlessly, and then it was destroyed invisibly during digestion.
My eyes gathered again, and I seemed to be fished out of the deep water, wet and sweaty. Then I saw the old white-bearded man who made me extremely angry just now. Isn’t he the most respected master Tao Jinhong in my daily life?
The one who took out the evil-proof sword to stab me was actually my own master?
Master Killing, Oh my God, I actually did such a tragic thing?
When I thought of this, my mind suddenly exploded. The little sword in my hand fell down. Then I knelt down on the ground without caring about anything else, so I kowtowed to my master and said, "Master, I deserve to die of punishment."
Seeing that I had recovered my consciousness, the master smiled slightly, and did not blame me, but explained: "I have always wondered why Aputuo was able to bring you so generously and return safely from the bottomless deep cave. It turned out that he had moved here - it passed on the three most exquisite and mysterious techniques of your three styles, which seemed harmless, but he never wanted to plant a spiritual mark in your mind, subtly, so that whenever you use this technique, you will inexplicably develop a lot of resentment towards your master. This hatred is just a subconscious mind, like a accumulation of volcanoes, and when it reaches the final eruption, you can achieve its purpose. Unfortunately, it is a pity that it has a very loud plan, but you are not selfless and demonstrated in front of your master, causing this harm in advance, revealing flaws..."
After hearing the master talk about these reasons, I was also surprised. That guy looked honest and easy to deceive, but unexpectedly he was a black-bellied character who pretended to be a pig and a tiger. I had been proudly thinking that I had successfully fooled such a big shot, but I never thought that he was just using tricks and teasing me.
I think so, if we have been suppressed for thousands of years and survived to this day, if we don’t have two brushes, our Maoshan may not be willing to let you occupy such a piece of Feng Shui treasure land as a cage.
When I understood all this, I knelt down and said, "Since that's the case, then my disciple will never use the three abyss methods, so as not to do such beastly things again."
Seeing my sincere face, the master pulled me up and comforted me with a gentle voice: "You don't have to blame yourself too much. If this happens to others, it will naturally be unforgivable. However, you just now were just controlled by the subconscious projection of Aputuo. The earlier you discovered it, the more harmless it is. The only bad thing is that it passes on your three abyss methods, which are really tailor-made for you. If you can learn it, you can stand alone and come out to help your teacher do many things. It's a pity to give up. However, when it comes to visualization and deception, your teacher is not particularly good at thinking and believing, you have to think of a comprehensive method."
I saw that the master did not blame me, and finally put my heart back into my stomach, and then asked, "What should I do?"
My master pondered for a moment before saying, "In the world, let alone the West, the double pupils in China, who belonged to Qingcheng Mountain had the highest attainment of this visualization and deception technique. If you want to break the hands and feet of Aputuo's three methods of the abyss, you probably can only look forward to him. When I followed your master around the world, I had dealt with people from Qingcheng Mountain, which was considered a bit of friendship. I thought it would be a big problem to ask them for such a thing, but I can't go to Qingcheng Mountain. This vow related to that year. Although all those present have passed away and are not in the world, you must have a sense of awe in your heart, so I will leave a letter here and come to you by yourself - after all, you are so old, and you should have some experience."
My master ordered that I naturally dared not not answer, but although I knew that Qingcheng Mountain was west of Jinguan City, it was one of the four famous Taoist mountains, and it must be a blessing in the cave heaven, just like Maoshan. If I had no way or guidance, I would probably not even be able to enter the gate. When it comes to this matter, Master had no choice. You must know that ordinary cave heaven and blessing in the mountains are the most important. Even if I am my master, I cannot get such information.
However, if my master comes here, there is no need to worry about it. When I come to the foot of Qingcheng Mountain and report the name of the name, there will naturally be countless people coming to greet me.
After pondering for a while, the master said to me: "I will help you solve everything, and that's all. However, since you are the senior brother of Maoshan, you must naturally have your own responsibilities and responsibilities. Spoiling and indulging will only make you rely more on the help of the older generation and unable to stand up. In this way, I won't give you too many things, a token or a letter, and you are my eldest disciple, so you must have a chance. Among the three generations of Maoshan disciples, you can choose two people to go with you. On the one hand, you can take care of each other, and on the other hand, you can hold on to the scene so that you can avoid being looked down upon by others."
This trip to Qingcheng is also a test of my personal ability. I don’t mind such a test because this is the master’s trust and reuse of me. When I heard him say that he could bring two people of his peers, I couldn’t help but think of a small face that was like a happy and angry person in my mind.
Because of the misunderstandings and progress between each other are too fast, I haven't seen Junior Sister Xiaoyan for many days. If I can use public service to help my junior sister Xiaoyan join, the boring trip to Qingcheng will become particularly exciting.
I asked the master again and said, can anyone be allowed?
The master answered yes, and he told me: "You are not the farm boy at the foot of Mali Mountain back then, but the senior brother of Maoshan. Your words and deeds represent the face of Maoshan. So you must remember this clearly no matter what. As for many junior brothers and sisters, these are your younger brothers and sisters. First, you must protect them and act as the responsibility of your elder brother. Second, you must also have the ability to lead and control. You must know that manpower is sometimes done, only by using everything, being good at guiding and covering up can you accomplish things."
This is the first time that my master talked to me about topics other than practice, about leadership and the face of senior brother Maoshan. This made me a little confused, but I could also feel the concern here and nodded seriously.
This matter was decided. The master wrote a short letter on the spot, and then gave me a jade pendant. The dragon and phoenix were auspicious. It was not very precious, but it was just a little old.
The ink mark on the letter paper was dried, the master folded it and sealed it, and handed it to me, saying, "Have you ever thought about the person who accompanied you to Qingcheng?"
I said without hesitation: "I have already decided that if I have to choose two, I will decide to be Xiao Yingyan, the disciple of Yinghua Zhenren, and... uh, Xu Danding under the seat of Elder Meilang."
"Oh?" When I heard these two unexpected candidates, my master immediately showed curiosity and asked, "In order to choose them, I want to hear your reasons."
Before I mentioned the candidate, I had already had a scheming in my heart, and said without hesitation: "It's actually very simple. I chose Xu Danding because my disciple had cooperated with him. He is a capable and wise person, and he is a descendant of Maoshan. His identity and status outside are quite good. As for Junior Sister Xiao, my idea is that the sects on Qingcheng Mountain are rich, including men and women. If I can bring a female disciple of Maoshan, it will be easier to communicate at that time. On Maoshan, if the person who best represents the beauty of Maoshan female disciples is this Junior Sister Xiao."
I spoke with great righteousness, and the master did not comment. He looked at me with a smile, and then waited until I was nervous, then nodded and ordered: "Okay, Yifan and the others have almost finished their meal. After you have eaten with me, go back to pack your luggage first, and I will notify the elder of the Lie and ask him to convey it on my behalf."
When I heard my master agreeing to my proposal, I was immediately overjoyed and didn't show it at the moment. After eating lunch in the bamboo forest garden in a regular manner, I also played with Xiao Taotao for a while. Then I took the master's letter and token to return to Qingchi Palace. Before I could finish it, I heard Fu Jun come to me and say that Xu Danding from Guigu Palace and Junior Sister Xiao Yingyan on Xiunu Peak rushed to the front of the hall, saying that he had come to meet with me according to the instructions of Elder Luo Yang.
