"Um?"
A few days later, when Xiao Jin returned to Phoenix Mountain and told what had happened, three surprised faces greeted her.
What surprised them was not "The Story of Hualong", but "Fuck, you didn't cause any trouble, and you just came back like this?"
Perhaps their expressions were so obvious that someone was so annoyed that Barabara started spraying:
"Grass, what are your expressions? Is it easy for me to travel this way? I have to be well protected, I have to catch monsters, I have to hunt for treasures, and I have to go back and forth tens of thousands of miles..."
"Yeah, I know you've worked hard!"
Seeing her angry, Xiao Zhai quickly stroked her hair, and said with a smile, "What else can I gain from this trip?"
"Here!"
Xiao Jin unbuckled the storage bag, fell down with a crash, and threw out twenty golden bars, "I just took some from the old treasure house, I don't know if I can use it."
"Gold..."
Gu Yu picked up one and looked at it. It was a large yellow croaker of the standard of the Republic of China. The old scale was twelve taels, and it was folded to 312.5 grams. There was a serial number, fineness, weight, and a letter S on it, which meant it was cast by the Modu Factory.
"Gu Xiu does use gold refining equipment to make alchemy, but there are not many, so let's keep it for now. Since you brought it back, I will leave it to you for safekeeping."
He handed back the gold bar and talked about the dragon again, saying: "The book mentions the falling dragon at Wugouying. I was very interested in this back then and collected a lot of information. Whether it is true or not, it is dead." Yes. Let’s take it as real first, then judging from the current situation, it may be a qiu (juvenile dragon), which may have existed since the Ming Dynasty, and then its spiritual energy was exhausted, leading to its death.”
"Hey, isn't that the dragon from the previous court?" Xiao Jin asked suddenly.
"Puchi!"
Long Qiu was inexplicably happy, and then waved his hands, "It's okay, I thought the dragon in the previous dynasty was quite funny."
"You're getting more and more stupid!" Xiao Jin rubbed the other party in disgust.
Gu Yu continued: "According to Yuan Songzi, dragons are the essence of heaven and earth, and they are born in response. In fact, there is some truth in that everything in the world is transformed by qi. Dragons, as a special species, must have their own way of birth. Born in response to a feeling... I think this feeling, one is aura, and the other is weather. When the aura is full, the practice in the world is prosperous, and the weather is myriad, the more power is given to it from somewhere, the easier it is to transform into a dragon. Or the monk himself With great strength, he can also transform into a dragon, just like Master Wei Shanjun."
Wei Shanjun, a Taoist priest in the early Tang Dynasty. He raised a black dog and was inseparable from him. Later, when he attained enlightenment, the black dog turned into a black dragon and carried him to heaven.
"I think this character is very good. Dragons are not born out of thin air. All things originate from qi, and dragons are born from qi, so all things can transform into dragons. Hey..."
Gu Yu paused suddenly, looked at Xiao Zhai, and Xiao Zhai just turned to him, and said, "That's right, my master's technique was originally called "Shelong Wulei Neifa". For some things, I mentioned Dragon Transformation. But I will not be able to practice that supernatural power until the Immortal Realm, and then I will be able to... "
"You can become a dragon? Wow!"
Xiao Jin's eyes widened, and she suddenly became excited. "I have a bold idea" was written in the left eye, and "Hey hey hey!" was written in the right eye.
Snapped!
Xiao Zhai slapped him directly, and said again: "By the way, didn't you say that Dongting Lake has iron shackles for locking dragons? Will there be dragons in the lake?"
"Five hundred years for a jiao, Jiao for a thousand years for a dragon, dragon for five hundred years for a horned dragon, and another thousand years for a dragon..."
Gu Yu stood up, with a slightly serious face, and said: "I hope there is no such thing. If Jiao makes waves, it must be a flood. Let's see what's going on in the Dongting first."
…
Recently, major events have followed one after another.
First, Fang City was built on Fenghuang Mountain, and then the black water sword was discovered. The Taoist Temple proposed to use the sword as a sacrifice to open the Lushan Grand Court at the bottom of the Minjiang River.
The government hasn't figured it out yet, but when Lao Gu came out of the customs, he flew in the sky blatantly, and took away a thousand third-grade spirit stones. After that, Fenghuang Mountain set up a large formation and announced the teaching of the Fa to accept disciples.
It's only mid-May now, but quite a few people already feel that this year will be extremely long. Coupled with the impact of the hot weather, it feels like a year.
According to the government's attention, teaching the law is the most important thing at present, so the higher-ups discussed: Wait for this matter, and immediately invite Gu Yu to Fujian Province to prepare for the sacrificial ceremony.
But for ordinary people, accepting apprentices is the core part.
"It's been a few days, come up with any ideas you have."
Under the old tree, Xiao Zhai presided over the family meeting. Before, she asked everyone to think about the test level. Today is the day for intensive discussion.
"Before that, let's clarify a few points. First of all, we have too few personnel. Except for the four of us, only Lao Shui and Li Dong can teach. So we don't have a college system. Basic courses are private schools, and elementary courses are private schools. Tutor system, do you agree?"
"No comment!"
"Secondly, our principle is streamlining, not quantity..."
"Hey hey!"
Xiao Jin suddenly interrupted, and said: "You don't care about your nonsense, of course you don't know, Xiao Qiu and I are exhausted. In the future, more and more industries will need experts to sit in charge, just like a prison On the other side of the mountain, no matter what happens, there must be a talent to see the situation, right? I don’t want to run around. What is most lacking now is people, and they have to be recruited. The inner door is not good, the outer door is good, and the outer door accepts a few Hundreds of people are okay, right?"
Yo!
Xiao Zhai was surprised, this little talk makes sense. In the past, my younger sister didn't care about things, so she didn't bother to think about it. Now that she takes on some responsibilities, she will naturally move up.
"Yeah, I also think there are too few people. Like the zoo, I can't do it alone..."
Long Qiu nodded in agreement, and then he opened his mind and asked, "Hey, the three little pigs we raised, one male and two females, have been in heat recently. Do you think they can mate? Are they close relatives?"
"Well… "
The question is too cute, Xiaozhai has nothing to say, so he had to expose it first, and said: "I think so, we don't distinguish between internal and external sects, we are all meat in the same pot, after a period of study, those who perform well Then choose the inner door."
"..."
Gu Yu pondered for a moment, then said: "It's also possible."
"Well, the basic system is like this, let's talk about the levels."
"Me, me, me!"
Long Qiu was well prepared, raised his hand very actively, and opened a long strip of paper, reading: "From the foot of Phoenix Mountain to the main peak, there are thousands of steps. Let's draw the most difficult route. excellent."
"Old-fashioned!" Xiao Zhai shook his head.
"Then set up stones, wooden stakes, sandbags, etc., and punch them down to test their physical fitness."
"boring!"
"Then let the golden silkworm take shape and scare them, and see who can calm down?"
"..."
Xiao Zhai stopped talking and looked at her with his cheek.
"Then, then give them a set of papers and give them some simple Taoist test questions..."
Long Qiu kept his voice lower and lower, feeling extremely wronged.
"Okay, okay!"
Xiao Jin couldn't listen anymore, so she held her down and said, "Your brain is basically out of the game, listen to me!"
She looked confident, and said vigorously: "Brother-in-law knows illusion, we have to make full use of it. Hey, can you allow hundreds of people to enter the country at the same time now?"
"Yes." Gu Yu said.
"Then what else is there to say! Bring them in in batches, and you will be an illusion at your fingertips, all kinds of drunkenness, lust, wealth, and knife head licking blood. It's best to get rid of all emotions and desires. Whoever has a good heart can see it." ?”
She blinked and continued: "If you don't like it, then that's it. For example, take them to the edge of the cliff, and accept whoever jumps off. Or let them kill each other, and there will be ten left in the end... But in fact It's all an illusion, not real... Ha ha ha, how is it? How is it?"
"Not so good!" the couple said in unison.
"cut!"
Being denied in an instant, Xiao Jin was very unconvinced, and shouted: "Then why don't you bring some dry goods?"
"Ah… "
Gu Yu smiled, and said: "I really thought about it, and set up a few levels, but later found out, what am I doing
Our selection criteria are qualifications and character. The aptitude is simple and can be found out at a glance, but what do you think of the heart
As you said, in a short period of time, using illusion stimulation, can one judge a person's nature through one thing and one word
I feel so false, so unreal.
People's hearts are complicated, and human nature is selfish, but most people can't be called bad. If it is concluded that a person cannot practice Taoism because of selfishness, cowardice, hypocrisy, and arrogance, isn't it somewhat arbitrary
We always talk about testing Dao Xin, but who is born with Dao Xin
Dao Xin depends on us to cultivate, instead of setting a standard in advance, and then testing them based on this standard.
I feel that those ancient legends are very unreliable. A person who kneels outside the cave for several months can move the immortals and then accept them as apprentices.
He can kneel, but he can only be said to have perseverance and piousness, but he cannot be said to be suitable for cultivating Taoism.
Tao is the law of the operation of all things and the origin of the universe. You can practice Taoism just by being devout? I don't think it's right, at least you have to have your own understanding, and this requires long-term observation. "
Gu Yu talked about his point of view, and said: "So I agree with your sister's statement that you can enter if you reach the average level. First, let's set a deadline, and who can stay after the deadline. We will make a decision on who should leave. Of course, if the temperament is really bad, they will be directly kicked out of the mountain gate."
"..."
After saying this, Long Qiu and Xiao Jin were very quiet. This way of thinking about things is something they didn't expect, and they haven't touched it.
Ancient people think differently from modern people.
Guxiu accepts disciples, paying attention to a chance and hint. I can meet you, this is a chance between us, I enlighten you, you understand, okay, then we are masters and apprentices-this is called a crash course.
The Jiejiao in "Fengshen" claims that there is no discrimination in teaching, and that all immortals come to court, and those who only ask for the Tao are basically accepted.
So what exactly is teaching without class? It doesn't just mean that anyone can be educated.
People, originally there are classes, some are smart, some are stupid, some are upright, and some are unworthy. But through education, these differences can be eliminated.
Gu Yu has seen Tan Chongdai's helplessness and sorrow, and Bai Yunsheng's heaven-sent romance. After he was promoted to immortal, he has been thinking about such issues. Dao Xin is not the prerequisite for accepting disciples, but the result of one's own hope.
There is no class if there is teaching, and teaching is also Tao.
