The sword is the devil

Chapter 442 Heart and Tong's Concern

Zhao Xintong walked on the field stalks with heavy steps.

For a cultivator in the Lianqiao Realm, this weight is nothing at all; what really weighs on her is her own foggy future.

She is 23 years old this year, and she is only three months away from the deadline set by the monastery, so time is running out.

But she just couldn't make it to the last step.

This is not something that can be forced. In most cases, monks have their own premonitions about success or failure; she doesn't even have the urge to do so, let alone try it easily.

The premise of trying is to have the impulse to reach the top.

After several years of studying in the Taoist Academy, she has learned a lot, and she also likes the atmosphere of studying Taoism and theories here. However, she cannot stay in this place forever, and there is too much helplessness restricting everyone.

She has worked very hard, knowing that Daoist Xi is calm and indifferent, and has no source of income, and some necessary expenses for the two sisters in the process of practicing, so since she came to Hongye Taoist Temple, except for some stitched clothes that represent her heart, she has nothing to do. He is no longer willing to accept the support from Taoist Xi, and pays every expense for himself with his own hard work.

However, God will not be lenient just because of her efforts; there are many people who are more difficult than her in Hongye Daoyuan, and the ending will not change in the slightest.

In the Red Leaf Daoist Temple, there are many second-generation cultivators, but more will always be those grassroots; they will be eliminated from the pulse, unable to entrain Qi, succeed in cultivating Yuan, unable to bigu, and unable to complete the bridge...

More than half of the people will fall before Lianqiao. People like her who can prepare to attack Tongxuan in the Lianqiao state are the envy of many people; but she knows that if she does not enter Daotongxuan, other achievements will be nothing In vain.

"Xintong, will you come with the handkerchief at night?" A woman asked,
The handkerchief meeting is actually a kind of comprehension seminar among the female disciples of the Taoist monastery. It is much more cost-effective than going to Xiuzhenfang City.

Zhao Xintong shook her head, "I'm not going, I still have some homework to do tonight, there are too many things I don't want to understand..."

The woman persuaded: "Actually, wouldn't it be better to bring up things that you don't understand at the handkerchief meeting? Gathering the wisdom of everyone is better than building a car behind closed doors."

"You guys go, I'm out of my mind recently, as if I'm not interested in anything."

The women in the back looked at each other, some shook their heads and sighed, some disapproved, and some gloated.

Since it is a Taoist monastery with thousands of Taoist students, all kinds of conflicts between right and wrong are unavoidable, especially for these Lianqiao Taoist disciples, they are often particularly eye-catching because they are just short of finishing their work.

The special environment created a special focus; in Shan State, minor cultivators were sent out to grow wild in nature, walking on the edge of life and death every day, and few people cared about the differences between them.

The way of Yanmen Jianxiu is doomed to Xiaoxiu to have a stronger ability to survive, but the relationship with each other is indifferent; the way of Weimen Taihao is less capable of surviving individually, but the relationship between these disciples becomes very close , as apprentices in the same courtyard, there is a natural sense of intimacy.

But in such a centralized apprenticeship environment, comparisons with each other have become the norm.The most obvious manifestation is the emergence of various ranking lists.

For example, the list of the shortest time to enter Taoism, the list of the fastest to enter the realm of each realm, the list of combat strength, the list of divination geniuses, the list of the strongest puppet... the list of the second generation of repairs, the list of wealth, the list of dry cultivators, the list of Kunxiu fairies, etc.

There are always boring people who are keen on this, update and adjust at any time to maintain the accuracy and authority of the list; theoretically speaking, the possibility of being selected on the list and finally successfully reaching the mysterious realm is really higher than that of the general public many.

Among them, the most representative ones are the Second Generation Ranking List and the Fortune Ranking List. More than half of the Taoist priests who can make it to these two lists have successfully ascended to the Profound Realm in history.

If you can be listed in several lists, the success rate will also increase greatly. Opportunities are always biased towards outstanding people, and it is the same everywhere.

Zhao Xintong is the one who is on the double list. He is very famous in Hongye Daoyuan, the fortune-telling genius list, and the Kunxiu fairy list. Each list has ten people, and it is not easy to enter any list.

Appearance is also a kind of comprehensive strength; in the cultivation world, there are countless handsome men and beauties, and there is no ugly one. Unless you deliberately go out of your way, you can change your appearance to a certain extent when you entrain your energy and cultivate your strength.

To be able to stand out among thousands of Taoist students and rank in the top ten, in addition to peerless appearance, there must also be a unique temperament that is out of the world. In this regard, Zhao Xintong is known for being mysterious and cold.

But these can't really help her enter the Taoist realm.

There are many people who are popular, there are many good sisters who work together and share weal and woe, and of course there will be many envious and jealous, and there are also countless suitors, all of which are part of the life of the Taoist monastery.

Alone, without relatives, with a rough life experience, nothing to rely on; in such an environment, she has really worked hard to be able to cultivate from entraining qi to connecting bridges in Hongye Daoyuan.

A group of people came to Danfang and handed in today's harvest. Every month at the end of the month, Danfang would settle the expenses with them; this method is also the tradition of Hongye Daoist Temple, in order to support those Taoists from poor families.

Or from another point of view, it also hired a group of competent spiritual farmers for free, killing two birds with one stone.

When I came out of the alchemy room, the companions who picked together had scattered away. This is the reason of personality and the reason of the direction of practice; for a practitioner who puts the main direction on divination and prediction, too frequent interpersonal communication is their taboo.

Those who work in this line of work need to be calm and reserved, and keep a certain distance from everyone, so that they can see more clearly and see farther.

The so-called can only see from a distance, not up close, and the darkness under the lights has practical significance for her; being close, familiar, and getting along day and night, this feeling will greatly limit their judgment on the future.

Divination is destined to be a lonely personal journey. Everyone is drunk and I am alone is the ultimate mystery of this way.

But such a state of mind needs years of polishing and the accumulation of experience, which is a hurdle for most young Taoists; Depends on factors.

Zhao Xintong was different. Although he was young, he had a lot of experience. That's why he was hailed as a fortune-telling genius among the disciples of Hongye Daoyuan.

The lotus steps are swaying gently, the red sky, the red city, people coming and going, a woman in a light yellow floating skirt is like a painting.

...No beauty, no monsters, there is a special fragrance, don't wait for the Double Ninth Festival if you plant too much.Don't think it's so eye-catching, but you really love Huang Huang.
