Our cultivator in the village

Chapter 12
In the early morning of the second day, there was a lot of noise in the sect, and the sky was full of turmoil. One order after another was issued, strictly ordering all disciples to keep their positions and not to move around at will.

Wei Jiang went out to inquire. It turned out that the incident happened in the Sutra Pavilion yesterday. After checking overnight by several deacons and Taoists, all the collections in the Sutra Pavilion were there - only one copy of "The Infinite Sutra" was missing.I heard that this boundless scripture was written by the real person Miaoshu who founded Guiyi sect. It has been passed down until now, and only the head of the sect can practice it. Even Elder Sanfeng has no chance to practice it. Not too much.

Wei Jiang's heart was beating wildly, but he still pretended to be calm, and asked a handyman disciple: "Didn't you say that two of the three ran away, and there was one left? Has this person been found?"

The handyman disciple said: "Yesterday I worked all night, and no one has been found yet. The scriptures of the school were lost, and the great elder Qingpu was furious, and issued an order that the entire Wuliang Mountain, not a single tile or an inch of land should be spared. I want to see you soon." People, if you want to see a dead body, you have to dig three feet to find this person."

Everyone was talking about it, Lu Huolong brought several disciples from the inner court, and his expression was not good.Wei Jiang took a closer look, and one of them was Tang Xiaoxian who hadn't seen him for a long time. Tang Xiaoxian's bald head had grown some hair, and his appearance was much more straight.

When Tang Xiaoxian saw Weijiang, he didn't care about those inner courtyard disciples, and immediately rushed over, shouting, "Brother Jiang, I miss you to death."

There was Xiao Qinghan in the front, and Tang Xiaoxian in the back. Wei Jiang didn't know why he was so popular with men?His goosebumps fell all over the ground, he stopped Tang Xiaoxian, and cursed: "Slow down, slow down, don't hit me head-on to death."

When everyone saw a servant disciple calling "Lao Tzu" to the disciples in the inner court, the disciples in the inner court also accepted it calmly, they were all very surprised.

Lu Huolong was also surprised, Gou Guangxiao reported Weijiang's matter to him a few days ago, why did it take a few days for this kid to have such strong support again?Although this Tang Xiaoxian had been introduced for a very short time, people said that he was extremely talented in refining talisman seals, and he had been rewarded by Elder Ling Jue many times.Among Ling Juefeng's disciples in the inner court, apart from the true disciple Wen Muqing, this kid is currently the most favored.

Tang Xiaoxian saw that Wei Jiang's face was pale and he looked like he was just recovering from a serious illness, so he asked, "Brother Jiang, what's the matter with you, you seem to be dying."

Wei Jiang scolded: "You're the fucking one who is going to die." He was also very happy to see Tang Xiaoxian, patted Tang Xiaoxian's head and continued: "Hehe, they are all disciples of the inner courtyard and have been raised in captivity. .No wonder I haven’t seen you for several months. You will bring your brother Jiang in anytime, so majestic.”

Tang Xiaoxian just scratched his head and giggled endlessly.

On this day, Tang Xiaoxian got the decree from his master, Elder Ling Jue, to lead a group of disciples from the inner court to check whether there are any suspicious people, suspicious objects, etc. at the outer gate.

The disciples who followed Tang Xiaoxian saw that Wei Jiang and Tang Xiaoxian were familiar, so they gave enough face and didn't scold him too much. They just went to their respective places, checked the beds, cabinets, etc., and then went to inspect the nursery. .

Wei Jiang broke into a cold sweat from fright, his heart was very dangerous.

It turned out that when he came back yesterday, he was already in poor health, it was too late and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he fell asleep.The scripture was just wrapped in oiled paper and placed under the pillow, ready to be stuffed into the crack of the wall next to the bamboo couch today, but someone came to inspect it early in the morning, if he hadn't known Tang Xiaoxian, he would have been arrested .

After arriving at the wing room where Wei Jiang lived, Tang Xiaoxian smiled at the door: "This is my elder brother from childhood, let me inspect this room."

That disciple knew that Elder Ling Jue loved Tang Xiaoxian very much, so how could he dare to object?So he left far away and let the two brothers go in and talk about themselves.

Wei Jiang's face sank: "It's just the big brother when I was a child, so I won't be the big brother in the future?"

Tang Xiaoxian said with a smile on his face: "Brother Jiang, don't be angry, the big brother for a lifetime!" After that, he smiled and handed over the three spirit stones, Wei Jiang smiled secretly, I, the handyman brother, did a good job, I can't cultivate, it's down every day Someone pays tribute.

In fact, Wei Jiang didn't want Tang Xiaoxian's spirit stone, but seeing his enthusiasm, it was not good to neglect him.He wanted to take out his spirit stone to make money, but he was afraid of scaring Tang Xiaoxian, so he took it.

Tang Xiaoxian said: "Brother Jiang, don't worry, I will definitely get you in when I have something to do."

Although Wei Jiang didn't think so, he was still quite moved.

At noon, someone finally found the depths of Yangjiao Cave and found the dead man in black.When the four elders went to the cave, the inside was already in disarray. The body of the dead body was searched seven or eight times, but the stolen Infinite Sutra was not found.

The four elders saw that none of the high-grade spirit stones and all kinds of panacea were stolen from the man in black. Elder Ling Jue said, "Could it be that this scripture was in the hands of those two yesterday, and this man is just a cover?"

Elder Tianxin pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "If the disciples of the Guiyi School found out early and took away this scripture, they must also take away the spirit stone and these pills by the way."

Without saying a word, Elder Qingpu ordered his disciples to seal the Yangjiao Cave in a fit of rage, and carefully searched every disciple who entered the Yangjiao Cave. After a half-day of fussing around, he still couldn't find the whereabouts of the scriptures.

The theft of the scriptures is a major event in the sect, and it has to be reported to the head of the sect.Reluctantly, Elder Qingpu, Elder Sanfeng, and four true disciples climbed to Return to Xifeng.

At the top of the peak, Elder Qingpu knocked on the huge copper ring on the door of Chengxin Hall, only to hear a creak, the door that had not been opened for several years opened automatically without wind.Master Qingxuan sat on a dilapidated futon, facing the statue of Sanqing, motionless, the futon was covered with dust one foot thick, as if Master Qingxuan had been sitting there for decades.

Reverend Qingxuan stood up slowly, he shook his clothes, but the clothes were clean, he said slowly: "There is a lot of dust in the temple, let's go outside, even if you don't come, the old Taoist wants to go out."

The crowd followed Master Qingxuan to the platform in front of Chengxin Hall. The platform was half against the mountain and half against the cliff. Clouds and mists passed around the steps, and the view was very wide.

Master Qingxuan looked up at the sky, squinted his eyes to see the sun outside, and said: "The sun is very warm. The old Taoist has been sitting in the Chengxin Hall for three years, and his mind is wandering away every day. It has been a long time since he has been exposed to the sun."

Everyone nodded in agreement, Xiao Tianqing looked at her father whom she had not seen for several years, her eyes were red, and she seemed to be about to cry.

On the edge of the cliff on the platform, there is a gazebo. Under the gazebo, there is a stone table engraved with the border of Chu River and Han Dynasty, on which chess can be played.There are square stone benches next to the stone table, and there are two rows of stone chairs on the side of the platform.Master Qingxuan sat down on a stone bench close to the cliff, and said, "Sit down, sit down and talk, don't be rigid."

The four elders found stone benches to sit down, and then the four true disciples also sat down leaning on the stone chairs.

Master Qingxuan asked just now: "Brother Qingpu, I heard that Guiyi's scriptures are lost?"

Elder Qingpu was feeling uncomfortable at first, but at this moment his old face blushed, he bowed his body and said, "I report to Master Teacher, Senior Brother is indeed careless, the scriptures were lost, and I haven't found them yet."

Master Qingxuan said: "Did it be stolen by Dongying Shendao Sect?"

Elder Qingpu said: "I report to the teacher, the two people who fought with Qing'er and the others yesterday came from Dongying Shinto. They are actually a couple. Because they have been practicing together for decades, they are connected with each other. Although only Jin The cultivation base of the Alchemy Realm Hunyuan Stage, but the husband and wife teamed up far surpassed the ordinary Golden Core. Especially these two practiced Japanese ninjutsu, and their bodies were as fast as ghosts, so it was perfect to steal things outside. Apart from these two people, In fact, another one came, but it was the woman's younger brother. We investigated in the Scripture Library Pavilion, and guessed that they violated the prohibition set by the head teacher when they stole the books. When they got the scriptures, they wanted to burn the Scripture Library Pavilion and escaped in chaos. One. Who knows that people are not as good as heaven, that person in the Houtian realm was seriously injured by Xu'er and Qing'er, and died in the Yangjiao Cave. We did not stop the pair of Jindan men and women, and escaped with the power of talismans gone."

"Who is the scripture on? Was it taken away by the couple? Or was it on the younger brother who was seriously injured and died?"

Elder Qingpu said: "Teacher, we have discussed this for a long time, and we all think it is possible, but it is more likely in the hands of the couple."

Master Qingxuan shook his head and said: "Not necessarily. If it was about that couple, why did they entangle with Qing'er and the others for a long time? Maybe it was to make a fuss, to buy time for the younger brother in the Houtian realm to escape."

Elder Qingpu was silent, and said after a long time: "We also thought about it, but there is no scripture on that person."

Daoist Qingxuan didn't argue with his senior brother, and said: "I heard that they used a lot of 'Wanli Evasion Talismans', Shendao Sect spent a lot of money this time."

The old Qing Pu blushed slightly, and said: "Junior Sister Ling Jue has actually asked me enough before, whether I want to stop this pair of Shinto monsters, I want to let the younger generation go down to experience it first, so that the two men and women can escape calmly. As for the matter, it is true that Senior Brother is a little thoughtless."

Master Qingxuan shook his head and said: "Senior brother, you don't need to blame yourself, you are doing the right thing. One generation has its fate, and one generation has one's responsibility. The second generation of disciples sent by the Shinto sect made trouble, and we can only Use the second-generation disciples to stop him. If we can’t keep him, it means we lose. If this sect relies on us old guys for everything in the future, what should we do if we die and return to the same sect? If this continues, the sect will not survive for a long time of."

As soon as these words came out, starting with Zhang Xu, the four true disciples knelt down on the ground with a thud, and said, "This disciple is not doing his job well, please punish the master master."

Daoist Qingxuan also shook his head: "The old Taoist priests don't want you to rush to admit your mistakes." He pondered for a long time, and slowly said: "This time the scriptures have an accident, the poor Taoist thinks it is a good thing."

The elders were taken aback, is it a good thing to lose something?
Master Qingxuan smiled brightly, and said: "Don't think wrongly. It was the theft of the scriptures, which made the old Taoist make up his mind to change the outdated habits of Guiyimen."

The old man stretched out a finger.

"Firstly, in the past, the Infinite Scriptures could only be practiced by veteran Taoists. It's not shameful for veteran Taoists. At least with this scripture, they broke the catastrophe and achieved the realm of heaven and man. Pingping's head, this Guiyi sect has lost even the Heaven and Human Realm? This is unreasonable! Therefore, the old Taoist's first claim is that everyone can practice the infinite scriptures of Guiyi sect, but it must be the kind of talent and intelligence, Disciples who are willing to stay in the sect and are not half-hearted. I will leave this matter to you, and you will make a statement in a few days to see how to implement it. The scriptures are lost as soon as they are lost. It may be difficult for you to find them back, but you can’t let it go Look for it. Don’t worry, the real scriptures are in the old man’s mind, everyone should learn it the same way!”

The old man stretched out another finger.

"Secondly, the disciples of this sect are divided into the true sect, the inner court, the outer sect, as well as the handyman. Do you know the background of the experienced mentor?" Master Qingxuan saw that the people did not answer, knowing that they were venerables, and speculated Knowing that he pretended to be confused, he asked himself and answered: "The veteran mentor who led the veteran to embark on the road of cultivation is actually a handyman. It is not a good thing to have a clear hierarchy among the disciples of the same school. From now on , handymen can also enter the Sutra Pavilion, and let the second-generation disciples and the third-generation second belly lead them every now and then. Since they have come to Guiyimen, have they learned to cook with fire, raise pigs and herd cows? Go out like this, no need Let the cultivators of the world laugh at the old Taoist for being mean and widowed. If the handyman disciples are really promising, they can also learn the boundless scriptures."

All the elders looked at each other in blank dismay. In the future, everyone will be able to learn immeasurable scriptures. This is a shocking joy for the four elders who have stayed in the Golden Core Realm for decades. up.

Elder Qingpu saw that the other elders were still pondering, and knew what they were thinking, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Senior Brother, this is absolutely unacceptable. It is the first-line inheritance of the master, and now everyone can practice it. In case some disciples of the school who practiced the scriptures defected and ran away, wouldn’t this scripture be unique to the sect? Also, the handyman disciples give them a background, The younger brother also agrees, so there are already two spirit stones in the monthly case, and now it is necessary to assign people to teach the method of cultivation, which is a waste of manpower."

Elder Ling Jue knew Qingpu's little Jiujiu, so he rolled his eyes and said, "The head teacher is farsighted, and I admire him so much." She glanced at Elder Gui Yun beside her and said, "The head teacher just said the rules and regulations. , How to implement it needs to be carefully considered by us old guys. First of all, the cultivation of the scriptures must be among the best in cultivation and virtue in our school. If this person is apostate, then it is because of the wrong selection , We are all responsible. Also, how much can the cultivation of handyman disciples affect? ​​It’s just a matter of assigning a few second-generation and third-generation disciples to teach the introductory mentality, and to regularly assess and supervise. You assign this task and keep some disciples running. Hurry up, who doesn't like having apprentices? For example, the old man feels that there are fewer apprentices."

Elder Gui Yun cursed inwardly, you old beggar, with Wen Muqing's true biography, and Tang Xiaoxian's gifted talisman successor, naturally wishing for more people to practice the scriptures, poor The old Taoist has not yet had a true biography.But he understood Master Qingxuan's good intentions, and he didn't want to object at all, seeing Ling Jue winking at him, he couldn't stay behind, waiting to take a step forward to explain.

Daoist Qingxuan waved his hand, stopped the debate among the crowd, and said slowly: "The old Taoist knows that you have joys and sorrows in your heart, and you can't think about it for a while. If you can't think about it, you can't think about it. This is the old Taoist order, not to discuss with you."

All the elders trembled in their hearts when they saw Master Qingxuan's words, they knew that Master Master's determination had been made, so they didn't say any more.

Taoist Qingxuan pondered for a moment, and then said: "If the scriptures are in Dongying, the old Taoist has not appeared in the Jianghu for decades. I don't know if the cultivation world still knows the name of the old Taoist. If there is a chance, the old Taoist would like to discuss with the Great God of Dongying Rizhao. Since he wants to practice one of the infinite scriptures, the old Taoist can also bring a few disciples to practice the Dongying Shinto!"

"Everyone proves the mind to each other and communicates with each other. This is also the purpose of cultivation. He will not refuse if he thinks about it." When the old Taoist said this, his face reflected the morning glow, Ling Ran was full of power, and a posture of looking down on the world shrank from this old Taoist. body exudes.
