Asking About Longevity Chapter 589

Chapter 589 Getting Started

 “Taixu's spiritual thoughts turn into swords, the true secret…”

Mo Hua frowned slightly.

 At present, he only knows this long, majestic-sounding name.

 But the rest is still at a loss.

 What type of swordsmanship is this?

 Is it physical swordsmanship?

 Is it a sword technique to practice swordsmanship to the extreme and kill people with sword energy?

It's still a simple spiritual swordsmanship...

Mo Hua sighed.

Although he has deduced a little bit of cause and effect, there are too few clues, his spiritual consciousness is limited, and his calculation methods are not enough, so he cannot understand everything with just a pinch of his hand.

 It seems that you have to enter Taixu Sect to find out the origin and secret of this sword art.

Is it true that the Dharma is as its name suggests? It can use spiritual thoughts to turn into sword energy, and the mind can wander through the void to kill evil spirits...

 This must be clarified!

Mo Hua nodded.

You don't need to learn general swordsmanship, but it's possible to turn your spiritual thoughts into swords!

 I have built my foundation with spiritual thoughts, and I am following the path of divine knowledge and enlightenment. It is indeed a bit unjustifiable not to learn how to transform spiritual thoughts into swords...

Even though I have said it before, it's just swordsmanship, so don't learn it...

 But there is no way…

　　 Mitsurugi is indeed handsome!

If you can really learn it, then pretend that you have never said anything before.

 “King Sword…”

Mo Hua thought again of the old boss Jiang, with his golden body accumulating power and condensing sword energy into a golden light.

Although he looked like an idiot when he slashed at the hut with his sword in the end, the bright light from the sword really made Mo Hua envious.

 It is much more majestic and powerful than my own little fireball.

Want to learn!

 The eyes in the ink paintings are bright.

However, if there is such a powerful sword technique, at least it is the method of the Zhen sect, and the Taixu sect may not be willing to teach it...

Mo Hua hesitated for a moment, then relaxed.

 There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain.

Taking the uncle as an example, he didn't want to teach him, but the secret of heaven was tricked and he still stole it...

 No, it's the upright learning...

The head of the Taixu Sect is definitely not more stingy than his uncle...

Mo Hua's mind moved slightly and he made a plan.

 Next, just enter the Taixu Gate.

Once you enter the Taixu Sect, you can find a way to learn this "Taixu Spiritual Mind Transformation Sword True Technique"!

Even if you don't learn anything in the end, don't be discouraged.

 Learn more about Taoism, formations, and other Taoism knowledge, and make up for your own shortcomings in Taoism, and you will definitely make money.

but…

Mo Hua frowned and remembered another thing.

 “Huangshan Jun…”

Tian Ji Calculation, in the fleeting light, he saw another, the strange "Huangshan Jun".

Blood eyes, sharp claws, huge body, ferocious and evil.

 Its breath is extremely deep and powerful...

This is not the aura that a small second-grade mountain **** can possess, even a second-grade evil **** who is possessed by a demon and possesses evil spirits...

has a problem…

 This Huangshanjun is very problematic...

Mo Hua had a pair of smart eyes, slightly narrowed.

“This yellow guy must have lied and deliberately concealed something key...”

Although it is in a state of decline and low in strength now, it must have been "prosperous" before.

 And he looks like a big guy, he must be very wide...

 And the sword cultivator in white who can kill it once must be much stronger than what it said.

 This spiritual thought-turned-sword is absolutely no small matter...

 It seems that I have some free time, so I have to go to the Poshan God again and ask these questions clearly...

 “How dare you lie to me…”

Mo Hua snorted coldly, his eyes a little dangerous...

 In a ruined temple in a distant barren mountain.

Eating crooked melons and cracked dates, enjoying the shabby incense, and basking in the bright sunshine leaking from the roof of the ruined temple.

 Huangshan Jun has a long and narrow face with a leisurely expression.

 Suddenly a chill came over...

 Jun Huangshan could not help but tremble.

 The warm sunshine is a bit colder.

 “What bad thing is targeting me?”

Huang Shanjun's face changed, he frowned, and thought hard, but he couldn't figure it out.

In these years, I have been very low-key. I act like a turtle when encountering problems. I bow my head and bow when I meet people. I occasionally make amends and suffer miserably. I have not offended any powerful monks or wild ghosts and evil gods...

 My life is a bit "poor", but I feel at ease.

Huang Shanjun thought hard for a long time, but he was still a little confused.

 Suddenly, an innocent yet fierce little face appeared in its mind.

Huangshan Jun was stunned and grinned.

 “No…”

 “That brat…”

Mr. Huangshan felt bitter in his heart, and the melon in his mouth was no longer sweet...

Mo Hua wanted to find Mr. Huang Shan to ask for details, but he couldn't spare the time now.

Moreover, Mr. Huangshan has been so "rich" before, and his methods must be powerful. He may have some trump cards. If you really want to find him, you must plan carefully and be fully prepared.

 At present, it is still important to get started.

 As for Huangshan Jun, I'll ask him about it later when I have time.

Anyway, you can outrun the mountain god, but you can't outrun the temple.

 If the temple cannot run away, it cannot run away...

Hearing that Ren Wan sent the greeting card to Taixu Gate.

 In it is written the place of origin of Mo Hua, as well as the specialty of "proficient in formations".

Since the relationship was all settled, it was just a formality. The elders who handled it all signed their seals to express their approval.

 Finally, this birthplace was sent to the head of Taixu Sect.

 The leader has one person's veto power.

Of course, for this kind of thing, he usually just turns a blind eye or closes one eye, pretending not to have seen it.

Unless there are conflicting positions, conflicts of interest, and sharp contradictions, he will not commit "public outrage" and go against the wishes of a group of elders and aristocratic families and reject the application.

 After all, this is just a quota.

Even if he is dissatisfied, there is no need to have a disagreement with a group of elders over such a trivial matter and affect the dignity of the Taixu Sect.

 But he was really dissatisfied in his heart.

The head of Taixu Sect, more than 300 years old, with middle-aged appearance, thick black hair, emphasis on "health preservation", peaceful eyebrows and a bit of laziness.

He was a little unhappy and helpless:

"Even if we have friendship, we don't want to do anything. We just listen to those noble families..."

 “The sect must have its own character...”

 But having said that, he still unfolded the "resume" in his hand, but after just one glance, he was a little stunned.

 Headmaster Taixu raised his head and looked at the elder who handed over his resume, "Are you right?"

This elder is tall and thin. He came from the same sect as him. Three hundred years ago, he was both a disciple of Taixu Sect and his junior brother.

 Both of them bowed from the outer gate and entered the inner gate.

Now he is the head of the sect, and his junior brother has become an elder. He is considered one of his most trusted elders in the Taixu Sect.

The elder smiled bitterly, "How can such a thing be a child's play?"

Headmaster Taixu shook his head, very puzzled:

“What do Shangguan and Wenren families mean? Two aristocratic families recommending a casual cultivator? It's really weird..."

The elder said: "It is said that there is some kindness..."

 “What kind of favor?”

 The elder shook his head, "How did I know this?"

Headmaster Taixu thought about it for a moment and nodded, "It's a good thing to repay a favor, so just accept it."

 The elder asked: "Aren't you stuck?"

 This is also a common practice.

The so-called "stuck" means to put it aside for a while, express dissatisfaction, and then obtain support on some matters from the elders of the sect.

Some matters that the leader wants to promote were originally difficult and restricted by many parties, but now taking this opportunity, the leader can exchange "favors" to gain the approval of more elders.

 He does things more smoothly.

 Alternatively, you can ask for another favor from Shangguan's family or Wenren's family.

 Also, perhaps, this disciple's entry-level cultivation can add some...

 Because special admissions are an exchange of benefits.

 Wherever there are people, there will be entanglements of interests, so these are inevitable.

Compared to other sects, Taixu Sect has less intrigues and intrigues...

Headmaster Taixu shook his head and said: "No need..."

He flipped through his resume and sighed slightly: "It's rare that these aristocratic families do not seek personal gain based on power, but rather repay their kindness. It's also rare..."

“Besides, this kid is a casual cultivator. It's not easy to be a casual cultivator. There is no need to impose restrictions on cultivating... Treat everyone equally. He will be like the other disciples..."

 The elder nodded, "Okay."

Headmaster Taixu scrolled down again, and suddenly saw the "Specialties" column with the words "Good at formations" written on it. He was stunned and speechless.

After a long while, he praised:

 “This is really…young and fearless, and the courage is commendable…”

 Don't talk about casual cultivation.

Even the direct descendants of the Shangguan family, the Wenren family, and even the direct disciples of the entire Taixu sect, few dare to claim to be "good at formations"...

The elder laughed and said, "This kid is fearless if he is ignorant, so it's hard to blame him. He already knew after getting started that the formation method is not that simple..."

The head of Taixu nodded slightly, and then said: "That's it, let him come and start in three days." He took one last look at his resume.

 The name of "Mo Hua" is written on the resume.

 “Ink painting…”

Headmaster Taixu muttered something, nodded, and silently wrote down the name.

 “It sounds pretty good…”

 The subsequent admission process will be as normal.

Wen Renwan was also a little surprised.

  She thought Taixu Sect would "bargain" some more, but everything after that went surprisingly smoothly.

 After three days of ink painting, you can enter the Taixu Gate.

Wen Renwan breathed a sigh of relief, the matter was finally settled.

 And Mo Hua is also very happy.

 Although he has gone through some setbacks, he can finally get started now.

Wen Renwan arranged for Mo Hua to get started and purchased some things. Three days later, he brought Mo Hua to the foot of Taixu Mountain where Taixu Gate is located.

 Before parting, Wen Renwan once again gave instructions to the sect on what to pay attention to, as well as some points to pay attention to after entering the door.

“Some disciples are domineering and domineering, so try to ignore them.”

"Don't be afraid if you get into trouble. Tell the elders and then ask them to come to Shangguan's house to find me..."

"If you are bullied, don't do it. You can't beat others with your small arms and legs. You should go to the elders. If the elders don't care, I will support you..."

 “Learn to protect yourself…”

Wen Renwan was worried that at such a young age, Mo Hua, so well-behaved, so innocent, so kind, would be deceived, ostracized, ignored, bullied, unable to speak out about his sufferings, and would be wronged if he entered the sect. , and no one supports...

 So she felt very distressed.

Although Mo Hua felt that he should not be "bullied" by others, Wen Renwan's concern still made him grateful.

Mo Hua nodded repeatedly and said firmly:

“Don't worry, Aunt Wan, I will be careful not to let others bully you!”

Wen Renwan couldn't help laughing when he saw that Mo Hua was confident and looked like he had never been bullied before. He couldn't help but touch Mo Hua's head.

Yu'er also came to deliver the ink paintings. Her little face was full of reluctance and she whispered:

"Brother, can I come and play with you when I have time..."

Mo Hua glanced at Wen Renwan.

Wen Renwan smiled and nodded.

Mo Hua said: "Come to me when you have time, and I will make you a big and majestic tiger!"

Yu'er's eyes lit up immediately, she nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and said:

 “Hmmmmmm!”

 After that, a senior fellow from Taixu Sect came down to pick up the ink painting.

“This is your senior brother Xu, who is also a disciple of the Shangguan family, but is two terms ahead of you. If you have anything you don't understand after entering, you can ask him.”

Wen Renwan introduced the ink painting.

Mo Hua glanced at this senior brother and saw that he was wearing a black and white Taoist robe with Taixu patterns printed on it. He had a graceful demeanor and a kind smile. He seemed to be easy to get along with, so he cupped his hands and said:

 “Senior Brother Xu.”

Shangguan Xu also returned the gift gently.

 After that, Wen Renwan took Yu'er's little hand and left.

Yu'er turned around as she walked, reluctantly waving goodbye to Mo Hua.

After hearing that Renwan and Yu'er left, Mo Hua followed the senior brother named Shangguan Xu and walked up the mountain one after the other.

Taixu Mountain is very high.

 The mountain gate of Taixu Gate is halfway up the mountain.

So there is still quite a distance from the foot of the mountain to the mountain gate.

Shangguan Xu has deep cultivation and steady steps, while Mo Hua has superb body skills and light steps. The two walked like this for a while, and Mo Hua felt a little bored, so he chatted with Guan Xu.

Shangguan Xu was a little raw at first, but when he saw that the ink paintings were innocent, sincere and kind, he also liked them.

 Besides, after entering the school, he becomes his junior disciple.

Although he is only a junior fellow apprentice of the outer sect, he can still be regarded as a fellow sect member.

So Shangguan Xu also answered everything he knew and said everything he could.

After getting "familiar" with it, Mo Hua's little mouth chattered:

“Senior Brother Xu, are the sect's rules strict?”

 “If I break the sect rules, will I be expelled from the sect?”

　　"If I am not expelled from the sect, will I be imprisoned? Or will I be punished as a guard and sweeper?"

“Senior Brother Xu, if I accidentally, accidentally, coincidentally, or by chance... I learned something secretly, will it violate the rules of the sect?”

“…Of course, I don't want to steal, I just want to ask…”

“Also, what does the head of the family look like? Are the elders bad-tempered?”

Shangguan Xu couldn't laugh or cry after hearing these questions, but he still answered them one by one:

“Don't worry, Taixu Sect's rules are relatively not that strict…”

 “Unlike the four major sects…”

“In the four major sects, disciples have strict rules on how they walk, sit, and lie down, and every move they make must follow etiquette; the time for getting up and going to bed every day must not be delayed;”

“You must learn whatever the elders teach. If you don't learn well, you will be reprimanded, and you may even be asked to apply for withdrawal from the sect;”

“There are also many assessments for the four major sects…”

“If you do well in the exam, you will be treated favorably; if you do poorly, you will be looked down upon.”

"Cultivation, formations, weapon refining, elixir refining, talisman refining...etc., these all have to be tested, there is no room for sloppiness, and the rules are extremely strict..."

“There will be a small test every ten days and a big test every month. If the student passes the test, he will be assigned a grade of 3, 6 or 9…”

“So the disciples of the four major sects must 'make progress'…”

Mo Hua felt his scalp numb when he heard it, "Is it so exaggerated?"

Shangguan Xu nodded, "Yes, that's why they are the 'four major sects'. They are better than others in everything, and the disciples they train are the true pride of heaven..."

Shangguan Xu sighed, a little admired and a little envious, and then his tone became more relaxed.

“Of course, our Taixumen are much more relaxed...”

"There are many inheritances in the sect. You can learn whatever you want. Even if you don't learn well, you won't be too harshly criticized. Even if you get a 'D'..."

“Of course, you must be able to pass the test of teaching or being an elder, otherwise, it would not be a good idea to really make them angry...”

 “Learn the Dharma…”

“Except for the true Zhen sect's sects, most sects can also be learned by outside sects, because after all, they are sects that preach and receive sects, and their sect's views are not that deep…”

 “What you have learned is your own ability.”

“Of course, except for the unique skills of the Zhen sect…”

“There are not many rules on weekdays. As long as you go to class on time and complete your homework on time, the rest of the time is quite sufficient. The sect will not be too restrictive..."

 Be spontaneous and independent, learn whatever you want to learn, and it doesn't matter if you don't learn well...

  Meaning, you can “mix”!

Mo Hua nodded.

 He realized that he had come to the right place for this Taixu Sect!

Shangguan Xu added: "As for the leader, you will be able to see it at the sect entrance ceremony in a few days. Anyway... the leader looks quite approachable..."

 “The head is more easy-going and pays attention to health care…”

“It's hard to say what the elders say, there are all kinds of things…”

“There are those who are easy to talk to, and there are those who have a bad temper…”

　　“For this generation of yours, let me think about it…”

Shangguan Xu frowned and thought, then said:

"There is an old elder who teaches formations. He is very senior and does not retire. He stays in the sect and teaches formations. He has a weird temper and is extremely strict. He can't tolerate a grain of salt in his eyes, let alone his disciples. careless…"

Shangguan Xu looked at the ink painting and sighed: "You are a bit unlucky, be careful..."

"oh…"

Mo Hua nodded, but he was also a little curious in his heart, who is this "old elder"...

Shangguan Xu wanted to say something more, but when he looked up, he realized that he was chatting with Mo Hua. Unknowingly, he had reached the mountainside of Taixu Gate, halfway up the mountain.

Ink Hua also looked up and saw a simple and mysterious mountain gate.

 The threshold for Shanmen is not high.

There is a stone tablet hanging on the door. On the tablet are engraved three large characters with ancient and powerful meaning:

Taixumen.

These three characters are like a knife and a sword, and they are integrated with the stone tablet. They are upright and hide their clumsiness, but when they come into view, they also have the connotation of a sharp sword.

It seems to be the handwriting of a great swordsman who has returned to his original nature.

Mo Hua only glanced at it and became fascinated.

He does not understand swordsmanship and does not practice sword energy, but it is hazy and hazy, and his spiritual consciousness can sense it. It is ethereal and vast, like Ling Taixu's sword intention.

 “Taixu's spiritual thoughts turn into swords, the true secret…”

Mo Hua thought silently in his heart.

 “Junior brother?”

Shangguan Xu was in a daze when he saw the ink painting, with doubts on his face.

Mo Hua came back to his senses and asked: "Brother Xu, these three words..."

Shangguan Xu raised his head and glanced, "Oh, these three words appeared when Taixu Sect was established. It is probably the handiwork of one of the ancestors of the sect. It is very old..."

He glanced at the sky again and said to Mo Hua, "It's getting late. Let's go to the sect first. You have just joined the sect and there are still many trivial things to do."

"Um."

Mo Hua nodded, followed Shangguan Xu, crossed the threshold, and walked into Taixu Gate.

When Mo Hua stepped over the threshold and walked through the mountain gate, he didn't notice that the three characters "Taixu Gate" above the mountain gate were filled with light, trembling slightly, emitting the meaning of the sword.

Subsequently, the nearby clouds and mist condensed on the mountain gate. After being refined by the sword, they turned into pure smoke, curling up and floating into the sky.

This sword intention is extremely condensed and extremely obscure.

 The refined cloud smoke has the pure green color of a furnace fire, but it blends into the surrounding clouds and mist.

Most of the disciples and elders of Taixu Sect felt nothing, but in the room, the head of Taixu Sect, who was meditating for health, suddenly opened his eyes.

His figure flashed slightly, he came out of the house, looked at the mountain gate through the high mountains and Taixu Taoist courtyard, and saw the smoke rising above the mountain gate.

The head of Taixu was stunned for a long time, and said with some disbelief:

 “The mountain gate of my Taixu Gate actually... is filled with smoke?!”

  I can't stand my efforts today.

I will work hard tomorrow and add another chapter~

 (End of this chapter)
