Gou on the road of longevity

Chapter 12
The next day, at the foot of Ruoshuizongyi Mountain, there was a residential complex.

Today, after being notified by the token, Ye Mingqi and the others meandered up a road and climbed up the stairs.The trees on both sides are lush and lush, and the leaves are blown by the breeze, swaying with the wind, playing a song "Sound of Nature" with the birds and beasts in the forest.

Suddenly, Ye Mingqi's eyes suddenly opened up, and there was a Daoyu of Zhu Yubiwa standing in front of everyone.The buildings with carved beams and painted buildings all show the style of Xianjia, which is breathtaking.

Looking carefully, Ye Mingqi saw "Xuantian Palace" written on the door plaque, and the palace gate slowly opened wide, as if waiting for everyone to enter.

Ye Mingqi and the others walked into "Xuantian Palace" one after another, and saw a kind of fragrance permeating the hall, he breathed it in, as if he had forgotten his troubles, and his heart slowly calmed down, free from worry, joy, and anger.

Taking a closer look, Ye Mingqi saw Dao Erwu sitting in front of the podium, waiting for everyone to arrive.And on the podium where Dao Er Wu is enlightened, there is a stick of incense stuck in the censer, and a wisp of green smoke fills the hall with an unknown fragrance, and it is unknown what kind of fairy family item it is, but it is so miraculous.

On the opposite side of Dao Er Wu, there are more than [-] futons in each row, from the podium to the end, more than enough for everyone to sit and listen to the sermon.

Inside the "Xuantian Palace".

A group of disciples, some serious, some cautious, some casual, some indifferent, sat on the futon, closed their eyes and meditated.

When the time came, Dao Erwu waved his hand, and the door of the main hall was slowly closed.

Dao Erwu glanced over without saying much, and had a certain understanding of the character of everyone, and sometimes a person's character can be seen from the sitting posture.

"Dear disciples, this school focuses on water exercises. There are other exercises, too. These are things you need to consider in the foundation building stage. As the saying goes, 'a tree that embraces is born at the end of the hair: a nine-story platform, A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step'. The quality of the basic exercises determines your future development prospects. When you first enter the sect, you first pass on the "Tao Jing", which are all kinds of exercises After that, you can practice on your own. If there is something you don’t understand, you can ask questions in class every week, can you understand?”

No matter how far away the disciples were, they could clearly hear the voice of Tao and Enlightenment.When he asked a question, everyone nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

Dao Erwu's complexion changed, his eyes were very serious, exuding a kind of majesty without anger, and he said: "The exercises of this sect are exquisite, and there are all kinds of villains peeping outside. To ensure that the exercises will not be passed on to the outside world, please wait Now make an oath with me that after you finish your studies, if you are not a disciple of your own sect, you will never pass it on to the outside world.”

Only then did the disciples come to their senses, and they immediately responded, "May I respect the words of my master."

Ye Mingqi stood up following the Dao and realized, and said in his mouth: "Heaven and earth are a lesson, if disciple Ye Mingqi reveals the Taoism of Ruo Shui Sect in the future, he will be hit by five thunders and die a good death."

Dao Erwu sat down contentedly after watching the crowd swear.

Then, Dao Erwu briefly introduced the posture of meditation and the feeling of drawing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body, and then passed on the first level of cultivation methods in the "Tao Jing".

According to Dao Erwu, there are thousands of people in Ruoshui Sect.Take the Nascent Soul Stage as an example, there is only the Patriarch, and all the disciples under the sect must respectfully call him the Patriarch.But in the alchemy period, there are dozens of people, no more than 20 people, and they usually live on the top of the mountain, and they can't be seen usually.In the foundation building period, there are only a few hundred people, who are most of the managers and backbone of Ruo Shui Sect.And when it comes to the Qi training period, there are thousands of people, accounting for the majority of the Ruo Shui sect. Many of them have been practicing for decades, and then they become discouraged, and return to the mortal world to marry wives and have children, and enjoy the rest of their lives.In cultivating immortals, cultivation at the alchemy stage and above is the sign of a house number to measure strength.

The weak water sect belongs to the upper middle level in the world of cultivating immortals.If there is one more monk in the Nascent Soul stage, he can step into a first-class sect.The top sects are monks who have transformed themselves into gods, and these sects generally occupy the best caves.

Dao Erwu was chosen as the lecturer for the beginner disciples because he was able to speak well.Seeing that everyone was concentrating on it and enjoying the adoring eyes of everyone, he quoted scriptures and talked about it.

The "Tao Jing" was originally just a basic practice method, and later it was compiled under the guidance of Yuanying Patriarch and a number of monks in the alchemy stage.After years of repairs, it has become the best Qigong method for beginners.

The "Tao Sutra" has a total of nine levels, from the Qi refining period to the foundation building period, each three levels correspond to a small stage.On the first level, most people can get started within half a year.The first three levels, that is, the initial period of Qi training, usually take five years.The third floor in the middle is a watershed. Those with better aptitude can break through the later stages after five years of practice, while those with poor aptitude may break through in two to thirty years.In the later stage, it depends on the individual's own good luck, some can break through in a year, and some can't break through in a lifetime.

Within a year, the Ruo Shui Sect will inspect your aptitude. If you have good aptitude, you can get strong support from the sect.Those with poor qualifications can only accumulate a lot and practice hard.Dao Erwu cheered and said: "Getting started allows you to enter a world, and the quality of your cultivation can also determine the level of your future achievements."

When everyone heard about it, some clenched their fists and secretly made up their minds; some seemed indifferent, as if they knew the news a long time ago;

Dao Erwu looked at the crowd and thought to himself: "This time is the most recruiting. Every time Ruo Shuizong recruits, the total number remains the same. Only one person leaves to make up for one person. However, due to the recent battle with demons, , leading to a decrease in personnel. This time, the number of comprehension families is relatively small, but some mortals have been given a chance. A peck and a drink are all fate. I hope that these people will have a talent."

One day passed like this, and when it was about to end, Dao Erwu finally warned: "Cultivation of immortality is the way of Taoism and nature. Sometimes, cultivation bases cannot be forced. You just entered the sect, you can't blindly seek fast , but ignores being down-to-earth. The Taoist exercises emphasize step-by-step progress, and are not easy to be violated by inner demons. The evil and heretic exercises emphasize quick success, and most of them will be backlashed. So, don’t force it, just be normal That's it."

But what everyone doesn't know is that this sentence of Taoism is also a follow-up test. If you survive it, you will become a master. If you can't survive it, you will die.

Everyone stood up and said sincerely: "Respectfully send off the master, we have already known."

In Ye Mingqi's residence,
Ye Mingqi slowly savored the content of Dao Erwu, without distraction, meditating according to the posture taught by Dao Erwu, drawing the aura of heaven and earth to wash over his body, and then comprehended the world.

At this moment, waves of spiritual energy surrounded Ye Mingqi, washing his body.He remained calm and guided the aura to circulate in his own meridians, connecting with the heaven and the earth.The aura of heaven and earth is constantly nourishing Ye Mingqi.
