Chapter 145 Nine elders' heart disease
Early the next morning, before the sun rose, a trace of fish white appeared in the sky, and the Ninth Elder woke me up and started a new cultivation career.
Perhaps it was thanks to the physique of the pure Yang ghost elixir, or it might be because I was shaking the tablet of the first generation of ancestors. When I practiced, I was so fast that I could not imagine it. Soon, in the shocked gaze of the Ninth Elder, I only spent one day learning the first simple Taoist method.
"This is too fast. Although this method is simple, you have to learn it. I heard that it took a whole week for the first time to learn this method, which still refreshed the results of the records of Qingyun Temple in the past dynasties. At that time, it shocked the entire Qingyun Temple. I originally thought that no matter how strong your talent is, it will take four or five days. I didn't expect that you would learn it completely in one day. I'm afraid that even geniuses are not so terrifying. It's simply a monster. Yes, only monsters can have such a terrifying level of cultivation!"
The Ninth Elder was shocked and said something no matter how often. His old face turned red and his sparse beard was raised high, making him look even more excited than me.
However, what surprised him even more was still the next step. As time went by, I seemed to be enlightened, and my learning rate became faster and faster. From the beginning of learning a Taoist Dharma, it took a day to concentrate to two or three hours to learn one way, and I was often able to learn one way of doing things, learning from other things, and repeatedly refreshing the cognition of the Ninth Elder. In the end, he was almost numb and no longer praised him with fuss.
After one week, I practiced until late at night. After Elder Nine taught me the last spell, it finally exploded completely. He shook his hand and lay on the ground with a strike expression.
"I won't teach you anymore. You are so perverted. You are simply here to destroy people's self-confidence. The results that others need to practice for several months to achieve. You can easily learn it in a few hours. It seems that practicing is simpler than eating and drinking water. I originally expected that even if I don't know how to teach you for a year or two, but I didn't expect you to be a good person. But it took me a week to pass by. Now, I have nothing to teach. As expected, the master is not that easy to be, especially a demon master. I really don't know whether to be happy or sad!"
Elder Nine stared at his beard and said angrily, but his tone was full of pride, as if he was happier than his own cultivation.
But indeed, I learned a lot from Elder Nine this week. In addition to basic Taoist magic, he also explained many strange experiences to me at the same time. It was like a newborn baby who was suddenly born into this world, full of novelty.
In just one week, my understanding of Taoist magic has also improved. If I meet Senior Brother Wu again, I am afraid I will not be as embarrassed as last time! I thought with confidence.
I looked at the sky and it was late at night and the night was beautiful. I also lay down and looked up at the night sky with Elder Nine. I practiced day and night for a week, and it has been a long time since I relaxed so much.
Elder Nine picked up a dogtail grass and said leisurely: "Your practice is now past me. I really have nothing to teach you in terms of practice, but I am not worried about this, because your level of cultivation is really terrifying. Once you are known by the Supreme Elder or the Master of the Confucian, you will definitely be eager to call you away and give it to you with all your heart. In Qingyun Temple, only after the Master of the Confucian is abdicated, you are qualified to be the Supreme Elder. There are several Supreme Elders who are not very clear about it, but they are basically over 100 years old, and they are all looking for breakthroughs in death and rarely appear. I have only seen it once in Qingyun Temple for more than 50 years."
"And the current Master of Temple has gone out last week with an urgent matter. It will probably take a few days before he can come back. When he comes back, I will take you to Qingyun Peak to find him. His Taoism was heard ten years ago that he has reached the ultimate realm, and now he doesn't know what realm he has reached. But I feel relieved to follow him to practice."
I turned around and looked at Elder Nine. Although he said that, his expression was still somewhat silent. His apprentice wanted to rely on others to teach him, and his heart was also very complicated.
"But I'm a little reluctant to leave you!"
After a week of hard practice, I was already used to the way Elder Nine was nagging next to me, and suddenly wanted to leave him, and my heart was disappointed.
"Haha, a young man in his twenties is still saying such stupid words." Elder Nine smiled, "How many people don't have the chance to learn from the master. Being able to follow the master is a blessing you have cultivated in your previous life, so don't neglect it. Besides, Qingyun Peak is not far from me. Occasionally, if you have time, buy two pots of wine and have two drinks with me. Having an outstanding disciple like you is something I will never imagine in my life. I have a premonition that you will definitely have great achievements in the future!"
He lay down and looked up at the starry sky, his back was always so lonely. He sighed softly and said earnestly: "You are different from you. You don't understand the pain of not being able to make progress in your practice. So, don't waste your talent and practice well."
I nodded. After experiencing Sun Liancheng, I understood the importance of cultivation. However, I heard that the Ninth Elder had shaken the tablets of the second generation of ancestors before. Logically speaking, the talent should be very good. Why is the cultivation level so unbearable now? There has not made any progress in the past fifty years.
As if he noticed my doubts, the Ninth Elder grinned and forced a smile and said, "Actually, I'm also surprised. Logically, I thought that although the majestic posture of shaking the second-generation ancestor's tablet back then was not as good as the master of the spectator, the current Taoist practice must be stronger than the elders. How could it be that there would be no progress in fifty years?"
In a while of doubt, Elder Nine stretched out his left hand, his little finger on his left hand, and he was wearing a black stone ring that made a rough stone ring.
"I don't know if this stone ring is a trick. After I entered the sect after I was a disciple, my cultivation was also very fast. It took me two months to reach the current level, surpassing all my peers. However, two months later, when I was practicing Taoism, I accidentally appeared this stone ring. Out of curiosity, I put it on my fingers and tried it. Unexpectedly, the stone ring seemed to be glued and could not be taken off. It was from that time that, no matter how I practiced, the Taoist practice could not be improved at all. The Taoist practice could not be improved, which means that many more advanced Taoist techniques could not be practiced. From then on, I became a laughing stock and had been laughed for more than fifty years, alas!"
Elder Nine sighed heavily, but he didn't expect that he was also a person with a story. He was suddenly in trouble when he was in a state of great spirit. Not everyone could accept this contrast. Although he seemed to have seen through everything on the surface, he could not hide the loneliness and silence deep in his heart.
The master and apprentice, just like that, leaning against the stones, looking up at the stars, chatting for a long time...
