Chapter 329: Greedy, Still Don't Understand

"But Brother Sun, you are not young anymore." Zhao Xingfan felt that he couldn't defeat Sun Dong.

Sun Dong's face was full of disdain: "So what? Now that I have four generations living under one roof, I am living an incredibly happy life, and I still have to work hard to cultivate Taoism. Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?"

Zhao Xingfan was speechless. This situation was completely unexpected. He couldn't help it. After saying a few words casually, he left.

Returning to Zhushan, it happened to be the time to answer questions every five days. Zhao Xingfan naturally stood up again, saluted Shi Xuan and said: "Teacher, twenty years later, my disciple once asked you..., tell me, twenty years later , I asked him again, but twenty years later, the disciple’s old friend still insisted that mortals were better than monks. Even if his parents passed away, he would still ask the teacher to teach me. "

As these monks practiced the skills taught by Shi Xuan, they broke through the realm one by one, so they began to call Shi Xuan their teacher, but Shi Xuan was noncommittal.

After hearing Zhao Xingfan's question, Shi Xuan smiled lightly and said, "Twenty years later, you can ask him again."

Zhao Xingfan was stunned. He never expected that the teacher would continue to answer like this. Do he really want to ask again in twenty years?

Shi Xuan looked down. Compared with the peak days when the sky and bamboo branches were crowded with monks, the top of Bamboo Mountain was now empty, with only five thousand monks.

Because the two Taoist methods taught by Shi Xuan only reached the Golden Core Realm and were completed in almost a year, so in the past twenty years, they have been repeated twenty times. Anyone in the entire Ziluo Kingdom who can come to listen has already heard it. Once they are familiar with the teachings, their younger generations, relatives and friends can listen to the sermons from their mouths without having to travel across mountains and rivers.

These more than 4,000 monks came just because today is the day when Shi Xuan answers questions. On weekdays, there are not even a hundred monks on Zhushan. Of course, those monks need to fight for resources in order to break through the realm. This choice is reasonable.

Shi Xuan stood up, and all the monks below saluted respectfully. The animals and birds in the bamboo forest also bowed in a similar manner. For example, the white fox, the kitten, and the golden mouse all stood in human form, two The front paws are raised together, while the birds flap their wings and bend them.

Over the years, the monks have lived in harmony with animals and birds, and they all know how to repay their kindness. Shi Xuan often sees precious spiritual herbs from other places, spiritual fruits, materials from this mountain, etc. outside the bamboo hut. , but Shi Xuan didn't care about these. After finishing his sermon, he always asked the person who sent the things to take them back. There was no partiality on weekdays.

After everyone knew that Shi Xuan really didn't need it, they gradually stopped this behavior.

In Anxi City.

"Brother Wan, are you really going to other countries?" Zhang Liu asked Wan Chengfeng. They sat down in Shixuan and listened to sermons for twenty years, and their friendship became very good.

Wan Chengfeng nodded and said with high spirits: "Thanks to the teacher's teachings over the years, it has been ten years since Wan entered the magical realm. However, Ziluo Kingdom has few resources and a monastic atmosphere, so Wan wants to go out and travel around the world. , strive to condense the golden elixir one day, so that we can pass on the teacher's Taoism. Why don't a few Taoists also go out and try their luck?"

Zhang Liu was silent for a while and said: "Well, we have learned almost everything we can learn from the teacher. If we continue to listen, there will be no other gains. If we want to achieve the golden elixir, we cannot rely solely on the resources here. . Since you can make this determination, Brother Wan, Zhang will not lose to you."

"Okay, Brother Zhang, you really still have pride in your heart." The monk surnamed Li praised, "Actually, if it hadn't been for the many golden elixir masters who came to trouble the teacher that year, and all of them fell into the hands of the teacher, we wouldn't even have advanced to the magical power realm. We don’t have enough materials. The Ziluo Kingdom is too barren, so we can only go out and explore. In the future, we can establish a sect in a place with good geomantic omen and establish an orthodoxy for our teacher. "

Those hesitant supernatural power monks were incited by Wan Chengfeng and the monk named Li to make a move, but they still had some concerns: "Those big cultivation countries are not as fierce as the Ziluo Kingdom. The competition is fierce. If we go out like this, we may not be able to win." The monks in those places, let alone the four major sects and several major cultivation families.”

Wan Chengfeng was confident: "Wan has been planning this for a long time. The teacher has collected nearly twenty spiritual weapons from the eight or nine golden elixir masters. It shouldn't be a problem for us to go and ask for one. After all, we went out for him." Pass on and establish the tradition.”

These words were high-sounding, but they made Zhang Liu frown a little. The teacher didn't take any money from his lectures. It was obvious that he and others had taken advantage of who knows how much, and now they were asking him for a spiritual weapon in the name of passing down the Taoism for his old man. Really shameless and greedy.

Wan Chengfeng continued: "But there is one thing. Wan wants to remind you that when you go to other countries, you cannot preach publicly like the teacher. Otherwise, you will die without a burial place. You can only establish sects and families according to the rules. Or recruit one or two disciples to pass on the tradition.”

The monks nodded. They were all well aware of the reaction from the outside world, and then decided to go up the mountain overnight to ask the teacher for the spiritual weapon. Only Zhang Liu was embarrassed and refused to go with them.

…………

It's late at night, the moon is bright, and everything is silent.

Outside the Shixuan Bamboo Cottage, a dozen monks in the supernatural power realm were kneeling, led by Wan Chengfeng, kowtowing endlessly.

"What brought you here?" Shi Xuan's faint voice came from the bamboo hut.

Wan Chengfeng said respectfully: "In order to break through to the golden elixir realm and better inherit the Taoism for the teacher, the disciples decided to travel to other countries and came here to say goodbye to the teacher."

"Well, I understand, you can go on your own." Shi Xuan replied concisely.

Wan Chengfeng and the other monks looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and said shamelessly: "But the disciples know that their strength is low, and they are afraid of insulting the teacher's reputation, and they are afraid that they will not be able to pass on the Taoism, so they want to ask the teacher to give them spiritual weapons. Let the disciples have the ability to protect themselves.”

"Oh. I don't have any spiritual weapons to give to you, but I have eight words for you." Shi Xuan paused and said leisurely, "If people's hearts are not enough, the little snake will swallow the elephant." He wants to exchange those spiritual weapons for the sect. You know, there are so many Yinshen Lords from the Penglai sect who are out, but only a few of them can achieve Yuan Shen and come back, so their own spiritual weapons are not rich either.

Before Wan Chengfeng and others could continue to plead, they felt that the sky was dark and the earth was dark. They were swaying like clouds and mist, and then they all fell to the ground with several snaps, causing pain all over their bodies. Looking around, they were already at the foot of Zhushan Mountain.

After personally experiencing the power and unpredictability of Shi Xuan's methods, Wan Chengfeng and others had neither the shame nor the courage to stay, so they hurriedly packed up their belongings and left with their families and apprentices.

Zhang Liu, on the other hand, said goodbye when Shi Xuan preached early the next morning, and received two words of praise from Shi Xuan.

Zhao Xingfan walked outside the door of Sun's house again. Twenty years later, Sun's house was still so magnificent. However, Zhao Xingfan had advanced to the level of magical power and could be regarded as a moderate master in the whole world, so he had no idea about these. Take it to heart.

Following the handyman, they came to the waterside pavilion from the last time. Sun Dong's hair was all white, but he was full of energy and his body still looked good. It was probably due to the previous exercise.

"Brother Zhao, I haven't seen you for twenty years, but you still look the same." Seeing Zhao Xingfan look the same as he did twenty or even forty years ago, Sun Dong was a little surprised at first, but he quickly calmed down and started laughing. call.

Zhao Xingfan looked at Sun Dong with emotion: "Brother Sun, this is all because Zhao has been practicing Taoism and making progress day by day. Zhao heard that the eldest nephew and several other juniors have suffered from various reasons over the years. It’s really sad that he passed away because of him. It would be great if they also followed the path of Taoism.”

Sun Dong was a little sad, then smiled and shook his head: "Brother Zhao, haven't you seen it through yet? What I, my brother, and your juniors have enjoyed in the past few decades may not have been free even if you have been practicing Taoism for hundreds of years. What’s the point of living a life like this, not to mention being in fear and being in danger of losing your life at any time?”

Zhao Xingfan wanted to refute that he had not been like this for the past forty years, but when he thought that most monks were like this, he could only sigh: "Brother Sun, your life is running out, right? Those juniors could have lived a lot longer." Year."

Sun Dong looked a little sad, but he immediately covered it up and said nonchalantly: "It is better to die for hundreds of years than to live peacefully and enjoy family happiness and live a good life for decades."

Unable to win Sun Dong's approval, Zhao Xingfan had to return depressed.

A few days later, at the top of Zhushan, Zhao Xingfan asked Shi Xuan again: "Teacher, I have asked you again. He still insists that monks are inferior to ordinary people. This disciple is really puzzled."

Shi Xuan glanced at Zhao Xingfan with a smile but not a smile: "Twenty years later, you can ask him again."

"ah?"

Ignoring Zhao Xingfan's surprise, Shi Xuan looked at the monks who were sitting down and still listening to the sermon. There were already less than fifty people, and many of them were new in the past few years.

For example, the little girl named Xia Jing came from a remote and remote area of ​​Ziluo Kingdom. After seeing a monk cast a spell, she became addicted to Taoism. Unfortunately, there were no monks who were above the body, and there were no monks in big cities. She was willing to accept her as a disciple, but she had no money to pay to learn from her. Later, I heard that there was an old immortal in Zhushan, Anxi City. He treated the listeners equally and taught them openly regardless of their identity. So I lost several pairs of shoes and finally went to Zhushan to listen. Tao, and after listening to the Tao in the morning, I had to immediately go to a restaurant to work as a waiter.

Zhao Xingfan walked outside Sun's house again, but he saw white cloths hanging everywhere, as if a funeral was being held. He couldn't help but have a bad feeling. He had been in the magical realm for more than 20 years. If he hadn't been entangled in that problem, he would have gone there long ago. Experience in other countries and collect resources to prepare for the condensation of golden elixir.

"Old man, who passed away in this house." Zhao Xingfan pulled over a person and asked.

The passerby glanced at Zhao Xingfan curiously and said, "That's Sun Dongsun, the master of the family."

Zhao Xingfan returned to Zhushan in despair. Will this question always be the answer?

A few days later, on the top of Zhushan, Zhao Xingfan stood up again and said with a wry smile: "Teacher, my old friend has passed away. I'm afraid that problem will remain the same forever."

Shi Xuan asked calmly: "Don't you understand yet?"
