Dedicate One’s Mind

In the Chuzhu Hall, not long after the bell rang for the second time, Sun Zhijie, wearing a Feiyun crown, Tai Chi fairy clothes, and a white jade ruler around his waist, with a dragon and tiger in auspiciousness, smoke and clouds, walked in with a serious face, and sat on the table On the futon of the head.

During the last internal discussion, Wang Chuchen and Ge Xuanlang finally reached a consensus not to pursue Liu He's impeachment of Wu Yi for the time being. He is still unhappy thinking about this matter.

If Ge Xuanlang, an old man like this, joins forces with me, there will be no outsider like Wang Chuchen in charge of the affairs within the temple. It is true that people become more and more stupid as they get older. Sun Zhijie cursed in his heart, wishing he could kick Wang Chuchen and Ge Xuanlang out and take charge of the Liucheng Yiqi Taoist Temple.

After roughly estimating the time, Sun Zhijie glanced at the disciples below, and before the third bell rang, he said, "Morning classes are starting today. Have you all arrived today?"

It was originally just a casual question, and Sun Zhijie didn't expect anyone to answer it. He was known to be strict in front of his disciples. The new disciples dared not miss his class, while the older disciples dared not to come. Most of the people who took his class had already practiced the first four changes to the extreme, but he didn't care whether they came or not.

Unexpectedly, someone actually replied: "Reporting to the master, Wu Yi is missing among the new disciples."

Hearing this, Sun Zhijie raised his thick eyebrows on his temples and couldn't suppress his anger, "Huh, Zhuzi, you dare to openly violate the rules in less than a month. I don't know what the deacon has done."

The combination of old and new grudges made Sun Zhijie furious on the spot, while the disciples below him either ignored the matter as it had nothing to do with themselves, or did not say a word because the matter involved the master in Guanzhong. The hall was silent for a while.

After venting his anger for a while, Sun Zhijie suddenly understood that this was a good opportunity to deal with Wu Yi's sins. At the same time, he could also take the opportunity to do something big and drag Wang Chuchen down with him. A trace of yin could not help but appear on his face.

When the disciples below saw the change in his expression, they pretended not to have seen it, except for one person, the one who exposed Wu Yi for not arriving.

"Liu He, you did a good job and dared to speak out. It's very good."

Yes, the person who exposed Wu Yi was the same Liu He who impeached Wu Yi before. If Wu Yi was present, he would definitely have discovered that this Liu He was the junior brother Liu who was beaten by another brother named Li Tian during the morning class. How could Wu Yi have thought that being a casual observer would cause him such trouble.

The morning class ended calmly, without even pretending to return a greeting to the disciples. Sun Zhijie took Liu He who had exposed Wu Yi's "illegal activities" and hurried to Wuxu Peak. Wuxu Peak is one of the three major temples in Guanzhong. The three people occupy such a huge mountain peak where the deacon lives, so they naturally decorate their home with great luxury, like a prince's compound in the world.

Sun Zhijie came to Li Gu's residence and called out: "Li Gu." Without waiting for the servant to enter, he rushed in.

Entering the door, there are corridors on both sides, and a hallway in the middle, lined with a few rocks and pots of flowers, including rich crabapples, delicate peach blossoms, blooming chrysanthemums, and elegant plum blossoms. Flowers of different seasons bloom together.

However, Sun Zhijie was not in the mood to appreciate this. He rushed straight to Li Gu's practice room. At this time, Li Gu heard the noise outside and went out to check. When the two met, sparks flew in their eyes.

At this time, the powerful men and servants in Li Gu's mansion rushed over and knelt down to apologize to Li Gu.

Li Gu waved his hand in disgust, and the servants and other servants left quickly as if they had been granted amnesty, leaving only a few strong men with round arms and thick waists to surround Sun Zhijie at the scene.

These warriors are not ordinary handymen who just deliver food like Lin Li and his son. They are selected by the master to protect them, similar to the existence of Dharma protectors.

Most of the monks are physically weak, and it takes time to cast spells. These warriors are responsible for buying time for the monks, even using their lives. Maybe they can't affect the situation of the battle, but they can delay the enemy for a moment, and this moment is enough for the monks to end the battle. This is why most monks are keen on raising strong men.

Li Gu put his hands behind his back, looked at Sun Zhijie coldly, and said calmly: "Sun Zhijie, if you don't give me an explanation today, even if you sue the temple master, I won't give up." In line with Li Gu's words, Li Shi also They tightened the encirclement one after another, causing pressure on the momentum.

Liu He, who was slightly behind Sun Zhijie, couldn't help but fight with his two legs. Although these warriors were piled up with foreign objects, they were raised by Li Gu after all, and their momentum could not be faked. They were all at the peak of Qi refining, and he couldn't deal with any of them. , let alone swarming them.

When Sun Zhijie heard Li Gu's words, he laughed angrily, grabbed Liu He behind him with one hand, and said, "Come on, tell us what happened with our dedicated deacon."

Li Gu raised his eyebrows and remained silent, watching with cold eyes what good show they were going to put on.

Liu He was a little tongue-tied as he recounted what happened this morning. In fact, the matter was not complicated, but after Sun Zhijie muddied the water, there was a risk of involvement.

Li Gu nodded while listening. No matter how hard he was with Sun Zhijie, at least as a deacon of ceremonies, he still had to act fair and selfless on the outside.

After hearing the end, Li Gu said: "Even so, there is no need for me, Professor Sun Da, to make the trip in person. Are you worried that Deacon Li's argument is unfair?"

Sun Zhijie really wanted to reply that I came here in person because I didn’t believe you. However, he still smiled and said: "Aren't you afraid of wronging the disciple? Besides, since the deacon is confident that his opinion is fair, he should make it public to the public, just to stop Youyou's mouth, you say yes or no."

Seeing Sun Zhijie's shameless side, Li Gu knew that he could not leave him no matter what. A few days ago, he had just used the authority of the deacon to suppress Sun Zhijie, and he would be prepared to be punished by him today. Besides, this is also a matter within the scope of his responsibilities, so he should make a trip.

Then he said to Sun Zhijie: "Okay, you can go with me, but I will take charge of everything." Although he knew that Sun Zhijie would definitely intervene, Li Gu still mentioned it.

Seeing that the first step of his goal was achieved, Sun Zhijie didn't care whether he would abide by it or not, and agreed: "That's that." He was thinking about how to get Wu Yi to plead guilty and be punished.

Li Gu saw that his eyes were wandering and knew that he didn't take it to heart. He shook his head helplessly. He could only hope that Wu Yi would have a reason to explain it, but also hoped that he could get over it.

In fact, Li Gu had a clear mind about why Wu Yi didn't come to morning classes. He started more than five months later than other disciples, and those professors no longer taught the most basic content. Instead of wasting time in class, he should It’s better to explore on your own.

Just why should I be hit by this guy. Li Gu couldn't help but sigh. If ordinary disciples violate laws and disciplines, such as Wu Yi's early morning class this time, nothing happened, and they have no time to be distracted when cultivation is important afterwards. As for being asked why the cultivation level has not increased, it is ridiculous. How can the cultivation level be improved so easily? Can grow. But if someone takes the issue that is usually not taken seriously seriously, it will naturally be difficult to deal with it.

Li Gu and Sun Zhijie each drove with honors, riding high in jade chariots, with strong men and young servants lined up on both sides, either holding fans or weapons. When they met any idle people, they started to scold them in a row.

This is the majesty of a deacon and a professor when they are on official duty. They must not be careless, otherwise they will be looked down upon by their disciples and lose their dignity.

The group was vast and the dust was rising high, and soon they arrived at the foot of Lingxiu Peak.

Lingxiu Peak is so steep that ordinary people would be frightened even if they were to walk up it. However, the warriors carrying the jade chariot have long been skilled in climbing up the mountain. They are walking as fast as flying, fast and steady, which is jaw-dropping.

Wu Yi lives at the top. Even so, the group of people climbed up steadily.

Seeing that the door of Wu Yi's cave was closed, Sun Zhijie's face darkened, "The door is closed in broad daylight. I wonder if they are doing something shameful."

Through the hanging white jade necklace, Li Gu glanced at Sun Zhijie. Sun Zhijie knew that he had spoken too early, so he kept silent.

Li Guduan sat on the jade chariot with his eyes slightly closed. He picked up a purple gold bell on the cloud couch, raised it and waved it gently. The mysterious sound was clear and spread all over the place. The strong men, boys and servants who heard the sound originally When I went up the mountain, my breath was unstable and my blood was surging. At this moment, I felt calm. Some people who were originally wandering around were also watching intently.

This Purple Gold Bell is held by the deacons of the past dynasties. Unlike the simple ringing of the bell that rings during morning classes, the Purple Gold Bell has the effect of forcing the disciples to wake up, but due to its ability to calm the mind and stop thoughts, it will not Disciples who are at the critical moment of their cultivation have too great an influence, which can be said to be a must for inspections. This eliminates the idea of ​​some disciples trying to get through by saying that they are at the critical moment of their cultivation and have no time to meet.

When the ringing of the Zijin bell stopped, a powerful man in front of Li Gu called into Wu Yi's cave: "Disciple Wu Yi, the deacon is in front, come out to receive you." After calling three times in a row, he started to hear something coming from inside. The sound of agreement.

After a while, Wu Yi moved the sealing stone, opened the door, stepped forward and bowed and said: "Disciple Wu Yi, I didn't know that the deacon of ceremonies was in front of me. I saw that you were late. I hope you will forgive me."

Li Gu opened the necklace and looked at Wu Yi carefully. He saw his sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, a straight nose and a square mouth. His every move was impeccable. He couldn't help but nodded and said: "Wu Yi, do you know why I called you today?" ?”

Wu Yi lowered his head and said: "My disciple expected it well. It should be because I didn't go to morning class today."

Li Gu laughed and said, "You know it well. Then you were delayed because of your cultivation?"

When Sun Zhijie noticed something was wrong, Wu Yi and Li Gu were chatting enthusiastically, so they put him aside and quickly interjected: "You must answer truthfully. If it is deception, it will not be tolerated by the law."

Wu Yi seemed to have noticed that there was another cloud couch, and he hurriedly raised his hands to Sun Zhijie and said: "Everything my disciple said is true, I must not dare to deceive."

How come Wu Yi didn't see two cloud couches? It's just that the two sides are clearly separated and difficult to deal with. In this case, instead of making a good choice on both sides, which will end up being unpalatable to both sides, it is better to test one side first and then decide which side he can borrow. , he was lucky, he hit the target in one try, so naturally he "didn't see" another cloud couch.

Sun Zhijie's tone strengthened Wu Yi's guess as to why he would listen to him stupidly. Besides, Li Gu had already given him some advice. It would be foolish not to follow the trend.

So Wu Yi gave an overview of his cultivation process. Of course, some of the things could be saved if possible, especially the importance of this morning's process. Although this is indeed the case, Wu Yi's exaggeration is undoubtedly more convincing. force.

Li Gu nodded frequently while listening on the cloud couch, while Sun Zhijie on the other side wanted to rush up and sew Wu Yi's mouth. Every time Wu Yi said a word, he was slapping him in the face, because no matter what, cultivation is the most important, so No one can be blamed for not going to morning classes.

Finally, Li Gu said to Sun Zhijie with a smile on his side, "I wonder if Professor Sun is satisfied?"

Sun Zhijie's face was livid, and he burned Wang Chuchen to the point where he completely lost his mind. He even wanted to remove himself to avoid leaving an intolerable reputation.

However, he still wanted to show this guy how powerful he was, and Sun Zhijie felt furious.

"Wu Yi, you just felt angry today, right?"

He had said this before, so Wu Yi could only answer: "Yes."

Sun Zhijie showed a sinister smile as if his conspiracy had succeeded, and said: "In that case, you must have failed to complete the task in the temple. As Professor Ru, I heard that Dahuai Town has not been peaceful recently. Why don't you go out and check it out?" My reputation and prestige will save the people from water and fire."

Li Gu's face changed, and then returned to normal. Wu Yi, who had been watching Li Gu's face, realized that there was danger in this trip, but the risk should be within the controllable range, so he generously agreed and replied: "I would like to be in Guanzhong One line.”

The matter was generally resolved, and Sun Zhijie didn't want to stay here any longer and embarrass himself, so he simply praised Wu Yi and left.

Li Gu stayed where he was, and after Sun Zhijie was far away from the bed, he said to Wu Yi with a serious face: "The Yin Qi scattered in Dahuai Town a few years ago for some reason. I have sent many people to check and clear it out, but the Yin Qi has been dispersed." It’s easy, but it’s not easy to eradicate. Every once in a while, the yin energy leaks out again.”

"Forget it, Sun Zhijie, I'll give you a few days of grace so that you can familiarize yourself with the current state. This is a talisman of accepting yin. If you encounter something turbid, if you sacrifice it, it can save your life."

Li Gu took out a talisman made of locust wood from his sleeve, carefully handed it to Wu Yi's hand, explained the instructions for its use, and then went down the mountain.

Many readers say that this chapter should set up a refreshing point. This is also a routine in current novels, but in the setting of Sanren, Pig's Foot is just the latest disciple to get started, and has the lowest cultivation level among all the disciples.

The cool points are mainly based on comparisons. Of course, if the San people are yy, they can write pig's feet to prevent others and teach the brothers that they don't want it, but that is not the San people's style. It is not so easy to go against the enemy in the process of cultivation, and besides, force is only It's just a means to achieve an end. It's a pity that many so-called great gods don't realize this.

As the only top comment from Sanren said, many novels nowadays are written for children. Sanren does not allow himself to write such articles, even if it sacrifices some readers. Those who agree will come, and those who do not agree will go.
