Zhu Xian: Learn from the Great Ying Immortal and rebuild the Trinity School

"Hey, headmaster? What are you doing..."

Early in the morning, before the sun came out, Qu Niang ran into Xu Zhiqiu in the lower courtyard.

At this time, this rare guest...

something wrong.

"I went out last night and just came back."

Xu Zhiqiu responded casually, his eyes a little vague.

Seeing his awkward look, Qu Niang's eyes turned and she asked with a smile:
"You went to Xiaozhu Peak?"

"..."

Xu Zhiqiu had a stern face.

Qu Niang moved closer and sniffed him.

It was as if he caught a glimpse of a woman's body fragrance, and he immediately had a guess.

"Tell me the truth, what bad things have you done?"

"I didn't do it."

Qu Niang's eyes curved like crescent moons, and she put on a teasing expression as if she had caught someone doing something bad:

"You didn't do anything? Then why don't you go up the mountain directly? Why did you come to my place first? Oh, I see. You are afraid of being caught by your disciples because you feel guilty, right?"

Xu Zhiqiu looked at her unkindly, staring at her for a long time, and suddenly:
"Is there anything to eat?"

Qu Niang's eyes lit up and she thought to herself, this man has been fasting for more than ten years, what happened today?

"I'll give you something to eat?"

"Another bowl of sauerkraut."

"That's it!"

…………

kitchen.

After a while, a bowl of steaming noodles was served to Xu Zhiqiu.

Some chopped green onions were sprinkled on it, and when it was washed down with the boiling noodle soup, the hot steam mixed with the aroma hit my nose straight.

Paired with a bowl of salty and fragrant meat stew, Xu Zhiqiu started eating it and finished half a bowl in a short while.

Qu Niang sat aside, her chin supported by her elbow, and watched him eat in a trance.

This is the first time in more than ten years that the two of them have been getting along like this.

"People say you get dumplings when you get on the bus and noodles when you get off, so why do you feel like you're going through a calamity after your trip to Xiaozhu Peak?"

Xu Zhiqiu wiped his mouth and smiled bitterly.

"It's hard to deal with..."

Qu Niang leaned forward and asked in a low voice:

"What did the girl say?"

"What can she say? After all, she is now the head of a lineage. She usually takes dignity into consideration and can only be a little bit irritable with me..."

Xu Zhiqiu pushed the bowl of noodles aside and Qu Niang quickly picked up another bowl from the soup pot for him.

"She was serious, so how could I pretend to be ignorant? I couldn't leave her alone forever, so I gave her a promise."

"What guarantee?" Qu Niang's eyes lit up.

May:
"I roughly sorted out my thoughts. I still have two things on hand. Once I finish them, I will feel relieved. Then..."

"Where's the other one?"

"what?"

"As a man, it's OK for you to have three wives and four concubines. Why do you have to neglect your beauty?"

"Do you mean……"

"Jin Ping Er."

Qu Niang stared at him seriously:
"Last time she disguised herself and went into the mountains, who do you think she did it for?"

Xu Zhiqiu was startled when he heard this.
"Hey, don't you always have a problem with her?"

"So what? She and I don't get along, but she's infatuated with you. Can't I see that?"

After hearing what Qu Niang said, Xu Zhiqiu started scratching his head again.

"Tsk... this is also a problem..."

I have been practicing in the mountains all these years. Have you ever thought about this kind of thing?
How could I be so worthy as to be favored by two peerless beauties?

Of course, as an old man, it would be a lie to say that I don’t have any smugness or vanity.

But after all, I have practiced for so many years, and my heart of Tao is still there. I can only try my best to live up to Tathagata and you.

But, let's talk about having two wives...

--------

"I have decided that from now on, I will officially step down as the head of the sect."

Inside the Trinity Hall, Xu Zhiqiu announced this decision to all his disciples.

As you can imagine, it caused a strong reaction.

"Master! How can this be..."

"No need to say more, I have made up my mind."

Xu Zhiqiu didn't even give them a chance to persuade him.

"The master has to go out for a while, as for what's going on inside..."

He pointed at Feng Baoshan.

"You handle it yourself."

"Master..."

Feng Baoshan looked embarrassed.
"Nowadays, the affairs of the sect are getting more and more complicated. I am really worried that I can't handle it well. How about you..."

Ever since Xu Zhiqiu defeated the Beast God, there has been a constant stream of people visiting Trinity.

As for those who came to become disciples, there was an endless stream of them, making the whole sect abuzz.

"That's great. The next person who comes will tell them that I'm stepping down. This way you should feel much more relieved."

As for the matter of stepping down as the head of the sect, Xu Zhiqiu had already informed everyone in the sect about it.

When it is formally proposed at this time, everyone is mentally prepared and can therefore accept it.

"Master, why are you going out this time..."

Xu Zhiqiu said:

"Our sect's rebirth has come to an end. I have been studying it deeply for a while, but I still can't find a way to break through."

"If we want to make progress, we must learn from the theories of other religions and then make arguments."

"Of course, this is too far away from you, so just focus on your training. I am the only one who can do the exploration."

When it comes to the art of rebirth, the core lies in the word "transformation".

The first level turns into skin and flesh, the second level turns into tendons and bones, and the third level turns into the whole body.

There is no need to melt it now.

This means that the next line of thinking needs to be fundamentally changed.

The same word “化” (transformation) used to refer to studying how to melt ice into water.

Now, I'm afraid we need to study how to integrate this drop of water into the sea.

Of course, this is just a vague direction, and even Xu Zhiqiu himself is not sure.

Among the classics of cultivation in this world, the most brilliant one is the "Book of Heaven".

I don’t know whether it was created by the ancient Heavenly Emperor, but it is definitely worth learning from for Xu Zhiqiu.

Unfortunately, Xu Zhiqiu only has three volumes at the moment.

The first volume of the general outline was obtained from the Dead Abyss, the fifth volume was obtained from the Qingyun Fantasy Moon Cave, and the third volume was obtained from the Heavenly Emperor's Treasure House.

Although each volume is profound and abstruse, there are two volumes missing after all, which leads to a gap in the theory and makes it difficult to understand.

It is for this reason that this trip out to visit and seek scriptures is imperative.

I hope there will be some harvest.

--------

The mountains are quiet and the mist is thick.

It was just after the rain in the empty mountains.
Dr. Tea dozed off.

This is a teahouse beside the official road, with seven or eight young men with red lips and white teeth sitting inside.

Everyone drank tea quietly, rarely talked, and seemed to be feeling a little sad.

The leader was a young man in goose yellow clothes.

His facial features are so delicate that even a nun would rush forward to offer herself to him if she saw him.

That neck is so white and delicate...you can't even see the Adam's apple?

Looking at the others, I couldn't see their Adam's apples either.

If an old martial artist saw this, he would definitely smile knowingly and not point out anything. He would just think that some young ladies from a martial arts family dressed up as men and formed a group to travel the world.
"Master Sister, what should we do next?"

The disciple who asked the question had a sad tone. Jin Ping'er put down her teacup and sighed:

"For now, we have no choice but to find a place to stay before making any plans."

Ever since the incident with the Beast God, the Hehuan clan was completely destroyed.

She was the only one who escaped with a few remaining members of the Hehuan Sect. Now they are homeless and can only wander around.

However, although the animal disaster has been resolved, the situation is still worrying.

Today, the Albizia julibrissin has become a rotten persimmon on the street, and anyone can step on it.

On the one hand, you have to avoid the righteous path, and on the other hand, you have to be wary of the evil cult.

Like a small boat in the waves, it may be destroyed at any time.

They would only dress up as men when they had no other choice, just to hide their identities.

No one wants to live a hard life of being a street rat and eating steamed bread.

"Master Sister, why don't you... go and ask that person for help? He may be willing to help you."

"shut up!"

Jin Ping'er refused bluntly, with a look of embarrassment on her face.

Ask him for help?

Recalling that time when he was the center of everyone's attention, high and mighty, he was so arrogant.

Jin Ping'er felt that every step she took towards him was a shameless sin.

"I never thought that the Hehuan Sect, which was once a powerful sect of the Holy Church, would fall into such a miserable state. It is really sad..."

People who practice Taoism have sharp spiritual perception.

Even without saying a word, Jin Ping'er had already noticed the visitor.

The wooden wheelchair made a creaking sound as it rolled over the gravel surface.

Ten thousand people came slowly in wheelchairs, followed by more than a dozen members of the Ghost King Sect.

Several members of the Hehuan Sect jumped up as if in response to pressure.

The miserable experiences of these days have taught them that what they should be most wary of is not the righteous path, but these cruel and heartless fellow believers of the Holy Church.

Jin Ping'er's heart sank, but a relaxed smile appeared on her face, and she made a blessing:

"So you are the leader of my Holy Church, the imposing and powerful Senior Ghost King. I think my niece is right."

"The fairy was joking."

The Ghost King waved his hands. He looked gentle and obviously lost his former spirit and energy. He looked like an ordinary teacher in the school.

"Nowadays, Immortal Daying dominates the world, but isn't Sanyi still keeping a low profile? With such an example in front of us, who in the world dares to dominate? Fairy, please don't flatter my Ghost King Sect."

Seeing that he was unexpectedly kind, Jin Ping'er became even more alert.

His light blue eyes swept across and fell on a woman behind the Ghost King.

The woman was wearing aqua green clothes, had a delicate appearance, and there was a hint of calmness between her beautiful eyebrows.

Jin Ping'er suddenly exclaimed:
"This must be Miss Biyao, right? She is so delicate and lovely, making me, her elder sister, feel ashamed of myself."

Baguio nodded slightly.

The ghost king's eyes fell on the golden bell on Jin Ping'er's waist, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

"Fairy, you are too kind. Although I am also very pretty, I cannot compare to your beauty."

Beautiful appearance...

I don't know if this is sarcasm or what.

Jin Ping'er asked:

"This is a wild place, so I don't think we met by chance, but I wonder what business the senior has with my niece?"

"Of course I have something to discuss." The Ghost King raised his hand to invite, "Would you please come to my Ghost King Sect Altar to have a chat?"

"..."

Jin Ping'er was confused and couldn't figure out his intentions for a moment.

Stabbing each other in the back, tripping each other up and killing each other are common occurrences in the demon sects, and the Ghost King Sect is the worst of all.

Given his reputation, it's no wonder that Jin Ping'er was suspicious.

However, this formal invitation made her unsure.

Glancing at the silent disciples of Hehuan Sect behind her, Jin Ping'er thought -

Even if it was a Hongmen Banquet, with the Dacheng Cha Numei and Hehuan Bell in hand, it should not be difficult for him to protect himself.

If you don't agree, it may cause more trouble.

"In that case, my niece will respectfully obey your command."

So Jin Ping'er gave a few instructions to the servants behind her, asking them to wait where they were.

She was alone, and followed the Ghost King and his entourage, flying to Fox Mountain.

…………

After arriving at the Ghost King's headquarters, the Ghost King treated them with courtesy and offered them tea.

After some pleasantries, the reason was finally given.

It turned out that in recent days, there have been incidents of demonic possession occurring among the middle and lower level disciples of the Ghost King Sect.

According to statistics, more than a dozen cases of people killing each other due to being possessed by evil spirits occurred in just one month.

It is said that people in the demon sect are murderous and aggressive, and the methods they practice are mostly evil, so it is not surprising that they go astray.

However, the Ghost King Sect's method was derived from the second volume of the Heavenly Book, and it is a genuine method of cultivation.

Although there is a monopoly on resources for lower-level disciples and the methods taught are relatively superficial, such frequent accidents in practice should not occur.

"We have analyzed the symptoms of those disciples who have gone astray in detail and found that they were not possessed by demons because of mistakes in their practice. Instead, they were mostly possessed by demons because of the troubles in their upper elixir. Their minds were not focused, which led to them being crazy and forgetful, or violent and violent, or committing suicide out of grief..."

After Jin Ping'er understood the situation,

"I see. But I'm afraid that I will disappoint the Sect Master. I'm afraid there's nothing I can do about this matter."

"Haha, the fairy is too modest."

Although this matter is not large in scope, it has occupied the Ghost King's mind recently.

It is speculated that the reason why those people go astray is that the problem lies in the upper elixir, which is the place where the spirit is hidden and the root of the heart.

In the field of mind and nature, Buddhism has always been regarded as the leader.

But the Ghost King could not ask the monks in Tianyin Temple for help, so he had to settle for the next best thing and find Jin Ping'er, hoping that she could give some solutions.

"In my holy religion, the Hehuan method is considered to be an expert in cultivating the mind. As long as the fairy nods, I am willing to give you the position of a worship elder. What do you think?"

Jin Ping'er fell into deep thought.

Hehuan is in a difficult situation right now. If the Ghost King is truly sincere, he can be a good tree for providing shade.

Those homeless members of the Hehuan Sect now had a temporary place to stay.

But if that is the case, where does that put the Hehuan Dharma?
Perhaps guessing Jin Ping'er's thoughts, the Ghost King added:
"If the fairy is unwilling to yield in the future, my Ghost King Sect can also provide manpower and manpower to help your Hehuan Sect rebuild its foundation."

Jin Ping'er's eyes twitched and she was greatly surprised.

How could such favorable conditions be offered?
She began to doubt whether she was worth the price.

"Senior, you must be joking."

"I'm not kidding."

The Ghost King narrowed his eyes, half smiling:
"I've heard about the fairy and Trinity..."

Jin Ping'er finally understood and instinctively denied it:
"The Sect Master has misunderstood. I have nothing to do with Trinity."

"Really?"

"No."

"Haha, it doesn't matter whether you have it or not, fairy, you should still consider it. If I am sincere, I hope it won't be in vain."

"..."

I have to say that the conditions offered by the Ghost King are quite generous.

Jin Ping'er was also shaken.

As long as she agrees to it now, even if it means courting disaster, there will be plenty of room for her to maneuver.

If we can borrow the resources of the Ghost King Sect, it won’t be difficult to rebuild Hehuan in the future.

But what then?
Will we continue along the path of destruction?

Xu Miaowa's instructions to her before her death still echoed in her ears.

The most important thing in life is making choices.

One should be extremely cautious about which path a person should take or which path a sect should take.

One step wrong, the result could be a world of difference.

Right now,

In Jin Ping'er's mind, the image of that person, standing in the air and overlooking all living beings like a banished immortal, appeared again.

[Today is an all-nighter, and I will make up another chapter in the second half of the night] (End of this chapter)
