Catalog of Destruction

After this question was asked, all the disciples were silent. If you want to answer this kind of question that tortures your heart, it is still very simple. The key lies in what kind of answer Mo Yuan, who is sitting on the podium, wants to hear. This is something that most disciples are pondering in their hearts, and only a small number of disciples are really thinking about it.

Shi Xuan's mind was in turmoil. It was difficult to answer this question accurately. How did this family and friend who stood in the way treat him? Is he the kind who has been abused since childhood and wishes to die a hundred times? Or is it the kind of person who cares and loves someone, and hates to take it in his own body when he is hurt? If it was the former, there would be no hesitation in killing him. If it's the latter, then it's probably impossible to do it. And even if it's the latter, then why does he want to block his path if he loves himself so much? Is he being deceived by others, or is it just a coincidence? Is there any other way than simply killing or not killing?

While his thoughts were swirling, Mo Yuan began to ask the disciples below to start answering.

"Of course I have to kill them. Those who block my path are not considered my relatives and friends." Yu asked with great arrogance.

A pure female monk stood up and replied: "No, if I kill my relatives and friends, I will carry the burden, sow inner demons, and give up an opportunity to become enlightened. Maybe I will gain something else."

"The opportunity to become enlightened may only be once, and friends and relatives are only in this life. If you become a soul, after thousands of lives, there is no one who cannot be killed." This time it was a tall and handsome monk with a pale face.

"What's the difference between this and evil heretics?" Another male senior brother stood up and retorted.

Yu Ruoshui also stood up: "I heard that cultivating the Tao is like building a building. If the foundation is crooked or wrong, it will be impossible to build a tall building in the future. I will not kill my relatives and friends or destroy my building for the so-called Tao." foundation'.

"How do you know that the foundation is to care for your relatives and friends, not to kill anyone who blocks my way!" A cold female disciple retorted to Yu Ruoshui.

…………

For a moment, everyone forgot their original intention and started arguing with each other.

Mo Yuan listened carefully for a while, then suddenly pointed with his hand: "How do you choose?" But he pointed at Shi Xuan.

Shi Xuan's mind was filled with noise, and he stood up slowly. After thinking about it, he answered honestly: "I don't know."

All the disciples laughed, but Mo Yuan nodded, then rolled up his sleeves and robe, transformed into thunder light, and flew out of the Listening Dao Hall.

The hall fell silent. Could it be that Uncle Mo asked this question because he wanted to hear "I don't know"? It's better not to ask, it's completely child's play.

Amid the doubts of the outer disciples, they all went back to their caves in twos and threes, while Yu Ruoshui and Zhou Dielan followed Shi Xuan to the Chaori Palace.

Yu Ruoshui, who was also puzzled, frowned: "Why did Uncle Mo nod to the answer 'I don't know'? What's the deep meaning in it? Shi Xuan, what do you think?"

Shi Xuan told the two people the whole argument in his mind. After listening, they were thoughtful. Zhou Dielan murmured to himself: "Could it be that Master Mo's intention is to inspire us to think and start to torture our minds?" , rather than caring about the answer.”

The three of them discussed for a while and could only reluctantly accept this very reluctant answer. Otherwise, could they still ask Mo Yuan face to face?

During the chat, Shi Xuan asked a question that he had wanted to ask for a long time: "You two can take at most one pill a day, which is equivalent to two good deeds. In the past two years, you should have accumulated five to six thousand good deeds. Well, apart from the Jade Slips of Kung Fu and the Jade Slips of practice experience, I don’t see you exchanging magic weapons or anything like that. You still use the blue steel sword issued by the sect. Where did those extra good deeds go? Or what do you want to redeem them for? "

Yu Ruoshui and Zhou Dielan were startled. They didn't expect Shi Xuan to ask this question, so Yu Ruoshui's eyes wandered and Zhou Dielan's face turned red. However, in the end it was Yu Ruoshui who cleared up Shi Xuan's doubts: "We just redeemed the Zhuyan certificate not long ago. Dan.”

Shi Xuan sighed in his heart, women are so crazy. One beauty pill requires five thousand meritorious deeds, and the Taishang Sensing Pill, which can help monks break through to the Qi-entraining stage, only costs ten thousand meritorious deeds. The two of them did not blink an eye. He exchanged the Zhuyan Dan directly.

However, when monks break through to the Qi-entraining stage, they rarely succeed by taking only one Taishang Sensing Pill. Most of them need three or four pills, and more than eight pills will have no extra effect. Therefore, for casual cultivators, without adventure or plunder, it would be difficult to save enough spiritual stones to buy the Supreme Sensing Pill in their lifetime.

In the early morning of the next day, Shi Xuan had just finished his morning lessons and was about to go to Yinfeng Cave, when a handsome Taoist boy drove a magical weapon to his Chaori Palace.

"I wonder what this senior brother does?" Shi Xuan asked the young man dressed as a Taoist boy politely.

The Taoist boy said with a smile: "This is Senior Brother Shi Xuanshi, I think this is Xuanchong, the Taoist boy from Tianji Peak. But it is Master Mo who has invited you to discuss matters with Tianji Peak. Please come with me."

What would happen if Mo Yuan invited him to go? This was Shi Xuan's first reaction, and his second reaction was, could it be that Meng Li had found someone to trick him into killing him, but Tianji Peak and Tianquan Peak themselves would not admit their mistakes.

Putting aside his doubts, Shi Xuan followed Xuanchong boy, set up his sword and headed towards the inner gate. At the same time, he was careful to be on guard, and if anything went wrong, he would immediately run towards Tianshu Peak.

However, the journey was uneventful, and we did arrive at Tianji Peak, and then we followed Xuanchong into Mo Yuan's cave. His cave was quite simple, just a simple stone cave divided into several rooms.

Mo Yuan sat on the futon on the stone bed. Seeing Shi Xuan paying homage, he did not ask him to sit down, but asked: "I want to take you as my disciple, are you willing?"

After Shi Xuan finished paying homage, he was still bending over, and then he heard this question. He was almost frightened and almost forgot to answer. However, all these years of practice were not in vain. He immediately held his breath and knelt on the ground, saying: "Disciple is willing!" No matter why Mo Yuan wanted to take him as his disciple, he had such a thick thigh to hug, so why hesitate, waiting to be burned to death by Meng Li in the future.

Mo Yuan nodded and stood up from the mat: "Then follow me to Tianshu Peak. After the ceremony, you will be my registered disciple. When you reach the Qi Induction Stage and have no bad record, you will be my inner disciple."

Shi Xuan followed Mo Yuan, feeling surprised and happy, but also very confused. Why did Mo Yuan suddenly want to take him in as a disciple? If he appreciated him, he could have done it two years ago. Could it be that yesterday's answer was exactly what Mo Yuan was satisfied with, which made him decide to take him in as a disciple? However, even if he used his toes to think, he felt that the answer could not have such a strong effect.

Mo Yuan walked in front of him in silence, and Shi Xuan was also silent with his doubts. In a blink of an eye, they left the cave. A thundercloud rose under Mo Yuan's feet, holding up Shi Xuan and flying towards Tianshu Peak.

On the thundercloud, Shi Xuan wanted to ask Mo Yuan why he wanted to take him in as a disciple, but he changed his mind. If he asked him and annoyed him, he would think that he was ungrateful and didn't know how to respect him. If he didn't want to take him in, where would he regret it? It's better to wait until the ceremony of taking in a disciple is over and the relationship between master and disciple is determined before asking.

Arriving at Tianshu Peak, Mo Yuan asked Shi Xuan to wait outside the Jietian Hall first, and he went in to report to the headmaster. After a while, he saw Master Lingxing slowly walked out and said to Shi Xuan with a smile: "Nephew Shi, please go inside, I will ring the bell."

The more this time, the more Shi Xuan dared not be careless. After respectfully returning the greeting to Lingxing, he walked into the Jietian Hall at a moderate pace.

And on Tianshu Peak, eight clear and pleasant bell sounds were heard soon, continuously, and the rhythm was long. Many inner and outer disciples were envious and jealous when they heard it: "Which Jindan master wants to accept a disciple? Why not me!"

In Penglai Sect, one to six bell sounds indicate the arrival of a distinguished guest, and the bell sounds are different according to the degree of the distinguished guest. Seven bells mean the death of the Jindan Grandmaster, eight bells mean the Jindan Grandmaster or the Yinshen Venerable accepts a disciple, nine bells mean someone achieves the Jindan, ten bells mean the death of the sect master or the succession of the sect master, eleven bells mean the invasion of a great enemy, twelve bells mean someone in the sect attains the Yuanshen, and thirteen bells mean the death of a Yuanshen True Person.

After the bells rang, all the chiefs, elders, true disciples, and inner disciples flew to the Jietian Hall to watch the ceremony, while the outer disciples were not qualified and could only get the news afterwards.

Meng Li walked into the Jietian Hall and saw the disciple kneeling in the hall, but his eyes fixed. This person was one of Yuchang's enemies. He originally planned to ask the Zhanglutang to call this person and then interrogate him with magic if he could not find out the cause of Yuchang's death. Whose Jindan Grandmaster has he become the disciple of now?

Looking forward, the cold-faced and cold-mouthed Mo Yuan stood under the sect master.

Mo Yuan's acceptance of a disciple surprised many people. You know, this is Mo Yuan's first disciple, who is likely to become a true disciple of the sect in the future. Moreover, Mo Yuan had never revealed his intention to accept a disciple before, otherwise the chiefs and elders would not miss this opportunity. They could recommend one or two of their own children with excellent qualifications. Even if Mo Yuan did not choose them, they could still make themselves familiar with them, and they might remember them when they accept disciples in the future.

When everyone arrived, Master Lingxing presided over the ceremony as usual. First, he bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to the jade statue of the ancestor Song Yan, then bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to Mo Yuan, presented tea to the teacher, and then went through all kinds of things according to the ancient rituals. It was only then that the last item was Mo Yuan's words and gifts.

"The Golden Elixir Road is extremely difficult. Only those who can be firm in themselves, stick to their original intentions, and stick to the road can finally reach it. I hope you will remember what I said today." Mo Yuan said with a serious face, changing his usual indifferent expression before.

Shi Xuan bowed again, and then replied: "Disciple will remember." Then Mo Yuan took out an ancient and simple bronze lamp. The lamp, the support column, and the tray had only a few talisman-like patterns. The light in the bronze lamp was as small as a bean, flickering with a dim halo. Looking closely, it seemed that the light was sometimes green, sometimes yellow, sometimes red, sometimes white, changing constantly: "This Qianyang Green Lamp was my portable magic weapon when I was young. The light on it is the Qianyang True Fire that was trained with the Qianyan True Fire and the Sun True Fire. It has the functions of destroying evil, destroying delusion, burning mountains, boiling seas, and defending oneself. Wonderful use, it has been refined to the seventh level of perfection, but later it was abandoned because it was not compatible with the practice. I give this lamp to you, not because it is so powerful, but so that you can remember the way of choosing and giving up when you see it. "

Shi Xuan took the Qianyang Green Lamp and kowtowed once for the last time. At this point, the ceremony was completed. Shi Xuan became an inner disciple of Penglai Sect, the sixteenth generation disciple, and left his name in the sect's inheritance book. This name is like a soul lamp. If one day, Shi Xuan dies, the name on it will become dim until it disappears. The good deeds jade slip was also used by Lingxing Grandmaster to perform a spell, changing the outer disciple mark inside to an inner disciple.
