"As the head disciple, I naturally represent Qingxuan's face. If this senior brother can't even enter the Dharma, I think it's better not to continue to be the head's disciple." The man in white said a few words, but in fact, he said nothing. They were mocking Lu Shouyi.
He is a prince from an overseas island country three thousand miles away from Qingxuan. He has just entered the family and already has the cultivation of Qiao Dong. Although he was accepted as a disciple by an elder as soon as he entered the family, he did not I am happy because Lu Shouyi directly became the head disciple before this.
Even if the master Zhang Ruoxu looks at the entire world of cultivation, except for the rare immortal immortal, he is already the top cultivator. How can Lu Shouyi and He De be accepted as the master
Moreover, he asked himself that with his intelligence and cultivation, he might not be able to take the position of head of Qingxuan in the future.
Shen Lian smiled casually and said: "If you feel that Senior Brother Lu should not be the disciple of the Sect Leader, then you can go to the real Sect Leader and say that he is blind and has fallen in love with Senior Brother Lu, or that he is blind. , I don’t like you.”
The man in white was told his true feelings, and he did not become angry at all. He said calmly: "Among Qingxuan, among the people in the upper and lower courts who are about the same age as me, there is indeed no one stronger than me. The leader has his own considerations, and I also have mine." Not convinced."
Shen Lian suddenly said: "Have you become a disciple?"
The expression of the man in white changed.
Shen Lian smiled lightly and said: "Looking at you, you have indeed become a master. If I were your master, I would probably have to kick you out of the door."
"I am not saying that my master is not good, but I am just dissatisfied with this Senior Brother Lu. If this Senior Brother Lu is brave, he will make a bet with me. In one year, all the disciples of the Upper House and the Lower House will have to take a Taoist test. Let's see who gets the better ranking." The man in white defended first, then set up a bet and looked directly at Lu Shouyi.
Lu Shouyi said: "I can promise you that if I lose to you, I will no longer be able to be Master's disciple. If you lose, you have to apologize to me."
"That's natural. My name is Zhao Siming, remember." The man in white sneered, turned around and left.
In the silent moonlight, Lu Shouyi hammered the door of the Taoist temple hard and it creaked.
"Senior Brother Lu, I thought you were going to fight him just now." Shen Lian said with a smile.
"We all memorize the rules of the Discipline Hall. Unless there are special circumstances, we can't do anything between fellow sects." Lu Shouyi said sternly.
"Brother Lu, admit that it is difficult to beat someone. In fact, if you ask me, I will definitely help you. As long as you don't kill me, it will only be a small punishment." Shen Lian said seriously.
Wherever there are people, there will be struggles, and sect rules cannot restrain the conflicts between disciples. Chen Jianmei had not taken action at the beginning. As long as he has a sense of proportion, how can the immortal family members care about such trivial matters.
The emergence of rules is not to make people rigidly adhere to dogma, but to let people know how to advance and retreat and how to do things appropriately.
Lu Shouyi laughed heartily, but he didn't expect Shen Lian to have such a witty side.
After his laughter passed, Shen Liancai said: "Senior Brother Lu, I still have to say that the way to practice is more important than nature. If you are forced to do it because of other eyes, you will always fall behind, even if you are successful for a while, It will be of no benefit to the future.”
"I also know this truth, but when you are in it, anger comes naturally. How to resolve it?" Lu Shouyi shook his head. If he didn't have this understanding, no matter how pure he was, Zhang Ruoxu would not like him.
Shen Lian didn't know how to answer. He had achieved something, and his indifferent temperament, which was quite in line with Taoism, only accounted for part of the factors. In addition, the method of refining the spirit of "Shangqing Lingbao Naturally Locking the Heart and Concentrating the Mind" also accounted for Many factors.
There are not a few people in this world who know what they want, but the human world is illusory, and there are only a few people who can avoid being lost in their true intentions.
Desire is like the sea. If the wind blows slightly, it will cause waves. Even if there is a way to illuminate the sea and cover the waves, it will only be temporary.
At this moment, he looked at Lu Shouyi's disheveled face and exhausted mind, and looked down upon him. In fact, the difference between people in the world only lies in one place.
The talents we are born with must be useful. Everyone has something that others are not as good as.
Shen Lian didn't give Lu Shouyi any advice. Instead, he felt that he was going smoothly and was a little arrogant.
As soon as he thought about this, he gave Lu Shouyi a slight salute.
Lu Shouyi was confused and said, "Junior Brother Shen, what are you doing?"
"Looking at yourself, Senior Brother Lu made me stupid for a while, so I thank you." Shen Lian looked free and easy, and felt that he should be thanked, so he thanked him.
Lu Shouyi sighed and said, "I really envy Brother Shen's temperament. He is free and easy and has his own pursuits."
Shen Lian shook his head and said, "I'm tired. See you tomorrow."
Shen Lian felt that there was no use in talking anymore, so he turned around and walked into the deep Taoist temple to rest on his own.
Lu Shouyi also felt tired. After the interruption just now, he stopped caring about the practice and returned to the quiet room.
Shen Lian sat quietly on the bamboo couch, feeling full of energy. The image of the innate gods holding Ruyi in his mind was clearer than ever.
Of course, if you look closely at its appearance, it is still vague and indistinct, and it is difficult to see its original appearance.
After being reminded by Zhang Ruoxu, he felt more and more that this vision was mysterious and unpredictable. Moreover, when he was contemplating now, he did feel more at ease than before, and his soul no longer had that ethereal spirit.
He studied this god carefully, and vaguely felt that there was some similarity between the god and the runes, that is, they were always changing. No matter how strong his mind was now, and he could do two things at once, he could not restore the spiritual sea in his mind again. A god appeared to suppress the spiritual platform.
He looked back on his memory, but he couldn't find out how the previous Shen Lian visualized the innate gods. It seemed that they were stuffed directly into the spiritual platform from the outside world and were not part of his memory.
****
In the Qingxuan Hall, the Heaven and Earth Mirror hung high in the sky, and the scene of Lu Shouyi and Shen Lian just now appeared on the mirror.
Chen Jianmei was also in the main hall, standing casually in front of Zhang Ruoxu, and said leisurely: "You accepted this person as a disciple, and only gave him the method without explaining it. I thought you didn't care about this Lu Shouyi."
"Shen Lian's Taoist nature is free and unrestrained, which is in line with the purpose of Qingxuan's cultivation. Therefore, doing anything to refine his mind will not be of much use. What he needs most is more extensive knowledge, and he can draw parallels and find his own path. , even if you practice a little slower now, it will be easier than others to reach the point of returning elixirs and breaking delusions in the future.
Lu Shouyi has studied Confucianism since he was a child. Although his talent is high, it is actually wasted on applying it to the world. He lacks respect for practice and only practices for the sake of practice. If he does not sharpen him, returning elixirs is just empty talk, let alone immortality. "Zhang Ruoxu, with a gentle breeze and calm clouds, described the temperament of the two people.
