No abstraction, no cultivation

Chapter 74 Senior Brother

"you are?"

When Xu Shun returned to the courtyard, he saw a Taoist monk with an excellent appearance and a Taoist look drinking tea in the courtyard.

What day is it today? Why is someone coming to see Master Lan again?

When Xu Shun was hesitating, he heard the man say with a smile: "I am Zishu, you are the master's new junior brother, right?"

"Huh?" Xu Shun had never expected that the person in front of him was actually his fellow apprentice: "I'm Zicai! Could you be... the senior apprentice?"

It is true that Zi Shu's outfit is clean and neat, and his Taoist style is far different from that of Taoist Lan.

However, how many people can be like Lan Dao Ren?

"I heard that the master has accepted two disciples. Could you be the third disciple?" Zi Shu said after thinking for a while.

He seemed to remember that his fourth junior brother was lame.

"That's right. Hello, senior brother!" Zi Cai bowed and said.

Zishu also returned the greeting and said, "Don't be so polite. Our master doesn't really care about these things."

"makes sense."

"Have you seen Master today? I've been back for a day and haven't seen anyone." Zi Shu asked in confusion, "Where's Fourth Junior Brother?"

Xu Shun said: "I saw Master this morning..."

Then I briefly talked about what happened today.

"Sending wine? Uncle Lan Die!" Zi Shu was not surprised at all and said, "I met him once a hundred years ago."

"She hasn't forgotten her master yet, it's really..." He shook his head and said, "Brother, please continue."

"As for Zi Su, the last time I saw him was three months ago. He said that he went to practice cultivation with other brothers and sisters!" Xu Shun talked about Zi Su's whereabouts.

Traveling and practicing is called wandering practice, which is similar to studying abroad.

"You Xiu?" Zi Shu was stunned and asked, "Is he about to reach Dragon Tiger? So fast?"

"He shouldn't have established his foundation yet, right? The last time I saw him, he was still at the seventh or eighth level of Qi training." Xu Shun said.

"Nonsense! Why are you running around with such low level of cultivation? Why don't you practice hard?" Zi Shu said, "The Spiritual Stage is about to reach the Dragon and Tiger Stage. Some cultivators need a little opportunity to travel the mortal world and seek a breakthrough to the Dragon and Tiger Stage."

"He hasn't even reached the foundation building stage yet. Why is he running around instead of practicing hard?"

"Master doesn't care."

Thinking that Lan Daoist was just setting an example and rarely cared about him, Xu Shun asked, "Did Master always manage the eldest and second brothers like this before?"

"Master is very strict with me, but he is much more lenient with Second Junior Brother." Zishu thought for a moment and said, "I guess I am the eldest senior brother, so I will be used to maintain my reputation in the future, right?"

"Master doesn't pay much attention to Zi Su and me. Are Zi Su and I just here to make up the numbers?" Xu Shun complained.

"That's not the case. Master is good at judging people. He probably teaches according to the students' aptitude, so he treats us brothers differently?" Zi Shu found an excuse for Taoist Lan.

"Do you believe this?" Xu Shun asked back.

"Uh..." Zi Shu didn't expect Xu Shun to be so experienced.

This junior fellow student looks quite experienced, which doesn't match his age.

"Ahem... I came back this time to go back to the mountains for meditation and break through to the Yuan Shen stage. Now that I know about Zi Su's matter, I can't just ignore it."

"I'll go out and look for Junior Brother Zi Su later. Below the foundation building stage, you still have to practice hard." Zi Shu changed the subject. He felt that he might not be able to win the argument with Xu Shun.

He added: "I started practicing cultivation more than 200 years earlier than you. If you have any questions about cultivation, you can ask me!"

His current cultivation level is at the ninth level of the Realization Stage, and he is only a little bit away from reaching the Yuanshen Stage and enjoying a thousand years of life!
This level of cultivation is not much different from that of the leaders of some small sects.

"Big Brother, I just have a question for you!" Xu Shun went to his room and took out the Chishou sword, then performed a set of Qinghua Sword Technique. Zishu looked at Xu Shun's sword technique, which was full of fire and chilling. There seemed to be a dragon shadow lurking in the sword technique, which was Xu Shun's sword intention.

He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! To be able to perform this sword technique so brilliantly, Junior Brother has a real talent for swordsmanship!"

"I always feel that as the sword technique progresses, something in my heart bursts out, but..." Xu Shun thought for a moment and said, "But something is missing."

"I didn't expect that Junior Brother has already touched the threshold of sword energy." Zi Shu felt that the Third Junior Brother was quite good, and he said: "Junior Brother, there is less murderous intent in your heart."

"Or murderous intent!"

"What?" Xu Shun was puzzled.

"It seems that Junior Brother has not been wronged and has no desire to kill." Zishu looked at Xu Shun and said, "The sword is a weapon, it is used for fighting."

"Only when there is a strong desire to kill in the heart, the 'I' and the heart are united, and the heart and the sword are united, the sword is no longer a sword, but an extension of the cultivator's magic power and will, and a tool to communicate between heaven and earth!"

"So, this is sword energy!"

"Junior brother, your magic power is enough, but your willpower is still lacking!"

"So that's how it is." Xu Shun suddenly realized.

He picked up the Chi Shou Sword and looked at his own reflection in the blade. He really didn't want to kill anyone in this world. He had just traveled through time and space, and although he was not very comfortable living in the small village, he didn't have any deep hatred.

He was scared half to death by the monster in the well, but the monster was eliminated by Master Lan.

Before I traveled through time, we lived in a society ruled by law. Even if we were wronged, we would use the law or public opinion as weapons and never thought of killing anyone.

In his entire life, he really had no strong desire to kill.

I haven’t even killed a few chickens, let alone people?
This was the bottleneck of his sword training. After all, the sword was used to kill people and protect the way, not to be used as a decoration.

"Thank you, senior brother!" Xu Shun said.

"There's no need to be polite between brothers!" Zi Shu said with a smile, "You go ahead and do your work. I'll go find my other brother."

"Junior Brother Zi Su and Junior Sister Zi Yan are very close, so you should be careful with your approach," Xu Shun said.

"Zi Yan?" Zi Shu was stunned. He didn't expect Xu Shun to tell him this.

A female cultivator was involved, no wonder...

"I understand." He nodded, and then a sword light rose from the ground and disappeared.

Xu Shun looked at Zi Shu's elegant sword light and was full of envy.

When a cultivator's cultivation reaches the Golden Elixir stage, the sword energy will transform into sword light, possessing all sorts of incredible effects and power.

A journey of thousands of miles must be taken step by step. After walking with Lan Daoren for a few months, he had understood this.

So he practiced, read books and practiced sword skills step by step.

About seven or eight days later, when Xu Shun was practicing sword, he saw Zishu coming back with someone.

That person was Shiso.

Zi Su's expression at this moment was very dull, but with a hint of madness, a hint of paranoia, and a hint of grief and anger, which made Xu Shun feel puzzled.

What happened to Perilla?

How did it become like this?

Regardless, the three brothers finally got together for the first time.
