The younger disciples have asked questions, and they are embarrassed to leave Junior Brother Xiao alone and want to wait for him to go to the library together. Ji Xiao politely declined, so everyone thanked him and left, leaving him to clean up the pen and paper alone.
Meng Xueli walked in a hurry, and the books on the desk were scattered. As a party member, of course, help the party leader to wash the pen and stack the paper.
The twilight was all around, and darkness flooded into the teaching hall at the foot of the mountain, submerging the empty school buildings.
The voices of the people were getting farther and farther, and the chirping of birds in the pine forest also quieted down, but Ji Xiao was still in no hurry.
In the last life, I was on the road all my life, without distractions and in a hurry.
If you slow down and experience it again, your mind will be more open. No matter how simple and naive the younger disciple's question was, he was serious and not impatient.
Confusion is normal and no one is 'born to know'.
Cultivation is the process of constantly solving puzzles and exploring the truth of all things.
The world thinks that the real person Ji Xiao is extremely talented and has a smooth road. In fact, when he first entered the Dao, he also encountered many problems.
The biggest puzzle is why they practice the sword tricks left by their predecessors.
He felt that everyone was different. Even twins have different temperaments. Since they are different, they should practice the unique way and explore the unique swordsmanship.
After listening to the senior brother Hu Si, he echoed in an extremely irresponsible way: "Yes, in life, each has its own way of living, and there is no standard. We will ignore the rules of the sages to become saints."
Ji Xiao's master felt helpless, saying that he was a once-in-a-century kendo genius, a genius has the path of a genius, and an ordinary person has the path of an ordinary person.
Not everyone can invent their own way and create their own swordsmanship. For ordinary people, they can walk more smoothly when they have the experience of their ancestors to pave the way.
As for Ji Xiao's senior brother Hu Si, because of too many problems, he was severely reprimanded when he first went to Hanshan.
Ji Xiao revisited his hometown at this time and couldn't help but think of the scene of that day.
At that time, there was no solemn school building with white walls and black tiles, and there were no quiet white stone paths among the pine forests, so there were only six cottages.
He was younger than this body, fourteen years old, and his senior brother Hu Si was only fifteen years old.
They are not very lucky, and the elders who teach are stubborn and paranoid.
On the first day of class, the elders told about what the Great Way is and what the swordsmanship is. The younger disciples listened to the clouds and looked blank.
The elder said: "Cultivation is mysterious and profound. You are young and ignorant. It doesn't matter if you don't understand today. The most important thing should be remembered clearly: since you have become a Hanshan disciple and practiced Hanshan swordsmanship, you must be loyal to the sect, and can no longer Go and practice other sects. If you don't practice other crooked ways, my Hanshan swordsmanship is naturally the best."
Mingyue Lake and Hanshan are both sword sects, but the former's swordsmanship emphasizes shape, while the latter's swordsmanship is more important. They all think that the other party is not orthodox, but an outsider. The dispute over the lineage of Taoism, which has lasted for thousands of years, has intensified and has reached the point where water and fire are incompatible. When the younger disciples were just getting started, they were instilled with 'orthodox ideas'.
The elder asked, "Do you remember?"
The disciples were shocked by his majesty and responded in unison. The elder's expression softened a little.
A discordant, childish voice resounded in the school building: "This disciple has a problem."
The elder turned his eyes and said coldly, "Ask!"
Xiao Hu Si stood up, and under everyone's attention, he said nervously but earnestly: "This disciple used to study and write articles at home, and Mr. Private School said that he should read the words of hundreds of schools and learn from each other's strengths. It is the 'stone of other mountains, which can attack jade'. Reason, why can we only learn Hanshan swordsmanship?"
The teaching elder stared at him: "You left your hometown to go to the country, leaving your relatives and traveling to Hanshan, what are you doing here?"
Xiao Husi was a little scared and replied cautiously: "Cultivation, ask."
Teaching elder: "So you know." He glanced coldly at the other disciples, "Everyone, since you are destined to step on the threshold of cultivation, you must focus on the Tao, if you can't forget the rules of the world, and forget the collection of classics and history that you have memorized at home, it is better to get there as soon as possible. Test a worldly fame, go home to marry a wife and have children.
"As for you, if you ask such stupid questions again, get me out of Hanshan!"
The disciples snickered.
Xiao Hu Si stayed where he was, and blushed when someone pointed at him.
Xiao Jixiao didn't smile.
Since he was a child, he was born with insufficiency and was thinner than others. Naturally, he did not compete with those strong disciples for the front row, so he had to sit alone in the last and most corner position.
He looked at Hu Si and felt that this should not be the case.
When everyone is laughing, no one is allowed not to laugh. So the disciples crowded out Hu Si and Ji Xiao by the way with the tacit approval of the teaching elder. Those days were really hard.
After the big exam at the end of the year, the two worshipped the same master and became apprentice brothers. Master is an idle elder, and he only accepts two of their apprentices in his life, and accepts them for his own old age and death.
After apprenticeship, he re-examined the root bone and found that Ji Xiao was actually the body of the innate sword spirit. Everyone just regretted it.
Hu Si and Ji Xiao began to practice swordsmanship. In just three years, Hu Si refused to practice and instead became fascinated by the practice of miscellaneous learning.
The deduction of qi observation is easy to do, you can read books and learn by yourself, and explore and understand. Alchemy and alchemy require the consumption of spirit grass and utensil embryo materials. Ordinary aristocratic families in the cultivation world generally cannot afford to support alchemy masters and artifact refiners, so they have to ask for purchases from major sects such as Wuyinguan.
Fortunately, Jixiao's swordsmanship was just beginning, and he repeatedly explored the realm to find the treasures of heaven and earth for his brother.
As he walked outside, his swordsmanship advanced rapidly, and his reputation gradually rose.
Time flies, and when Hu Si first proves the Dao and breaks through to the Mahayana realm, he is reprimanded by the elder Taishang: "If you don't use the sword, you are not worthy of being a disciple of Hanshan."
At this time, Hu Si was no longer a young and weak boy who was listening to the lectures in the Dharma Hall and wept silently.
Ji Xiao knew in his heart that even if Hu Si did not break with the elder Taishang, he was destined to stay in Hanshan for a long time.
More than two hundred years later, his senior brother still refuses to accept it.
After Hu Si left, some people thought that Ji Xiao would fight with Elder Taishang with a sword drawn, and Hanshan ended up torn apart.
But Ji Xiao didn't, he still practiced swordsmanship and practice.
It didn't take long for his cultivation base to be higher than that of the Supreme Elder, who was shameless and suppressed by the younger generation, and lived in the back mountain for a long time, and could not escape from the world.
Elder Taishang's family descendants were headless and had to gradually become silent.
Ji Xiao re-selected the teaching elders of the Lunfa Tang, and ordered them to encourage the disciples to ask more questions, and to preach less about the saying of 'loyal to the sect and only practicing the Hanshan sword'.
Lunfatang became what he wanted.
When the peak masters of each peak change, the new peak master will be supported by him to take office.
Han Shan also changed to what he expected.
After that, Jian Zun is invincible in the world, and the rules of the entire cultivation world are set by him.
Therefore, with the Outer Boundary Protector Array, it is difficult for demons to cross; with the Vast Sea Secret Realm Competition, the major sects will no longer rush to scramble for unowned resources.
Hu Si refused to accept it, and raised a lake to the sky, transcending the world.
Ji Xiao refused to accept it, and searched for two hundred years to help the world.
Others thought that not long after Ji Xiao's death, people were successively sanctified, and there seemed to be divine will. If Jian Zun has a spirit in the sky, he must be in a complicated mood.
But Ji Xiao thought that the one with the most complicated mood should be the Supreme Elder Hanshan, Dao Venerable Tai Heng—the Supreme Elder of Mingyue Lake, who had the same status as him, was sanctified. . He is the only one who does not die, and is still struggling to live longer.
Ji Xiao himself is actually very calm. If the Three Realms are peaceful, he doesn't care who is number one in the world.
It's enough to change the world once. The younger generation has grown up in the new world, and there are talented people in the country, it is better to leave the mountains and rivers for future generations.
And his senior brother Hu Si should have been sanctified long ago.
A disciple taught by a master is like a flower blooming with two branches. Hu Si was only close to crossing the final threshold.
Ji Xiao hopes that more and more people will be sanctified and share the responsibility.
If the world doesn't need him, he will grow fish and flowers with Xiaodaolu, and they will ascend together in the future.
When the world needed him, he pulled out the beginningless sword under the pond.
