Chapter 90 Unexpected

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 own path if he loves him so much? Is he being deceived by others, or is it some kind of 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 exactly what was going on in his mind. After listening to them, 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 or 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. A 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, when Shi Xuan had just finished his morning lessons and was about to go to Yinfeng Cave, 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.

But 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 was sitting on the futon on the stone bed. When he saw Shi Xuan paying homage, he didn't ask him to sit down. Instead, he asked: "I want to accept you as my disciple, are you willing?"

Shi Xuan finished the salute and was still bending down. Then he heard the question. He was almost frightened and almost forgot to answer. However, all these years of practice are not in vain. He immediately held his breath and concentrated, fell to his knees on the ground, and shouted: "Disciple is willing!" No matter why Mo Yuan wanted to accept him as his disciple, but with such a thick thigh to hold him, why should he hesitate? He was waiting to be burned to death by Meng Li in the future.

Mo Yuan nodded and stood up from the futon: "Then follow me to Tianshu Peak. After the ceremony, you will be my registered disciple. When you wait for the Qi Entrainment period, and you have no bad deeds, you will be my disciple. "

Shi Xuan followed Mo Yuan, feeling surprised, happy, and extremely confused. Why did Mo Yuan suddenly accept him as his disciple? If he admired himself, he would have accepted him two years ago. Could it be that yesterday's answer was what Mo Yuan was satisfied with? The answer made him decide to accept him as his disciple, but even thinking about it with his toes, he felt that the answer could not have such a strong effect.

Mo Yuan walked in front and was silent all the way. Shi Xuan was also silent as he was full of doubts. In a blink of an eye, he was out of the cave. A thundercloud rose under Mo Yuan's feet. He held it together with Shi Xuan and flew towards Tianshu Peak.

On Leiyun, Shi Xuan really wanted to ask Mo Yuan why he wanted to accept him as his disciple, but then he thought about it. If he annoyed him by asking, and felt that he was ignorant and disrespectful and didn't want to accept him, then where would he regret it? Go ahead, let's wait until the apprenticeship ceremony is over and the master-disciple status is determined before asking.

When they arrived at Tianshu Peak, Mo Yuan asked Shi Xuan to wait outside Jie Tian Hall, and then went in to report to the leader. After a while, he saw Grandmaster Lingxing walking out slowly, smiling and saying to Shi Xuan: "Nephew Shi, Please go inside and ring the bell."

At this time, Shi Xuan did not dare to be careless. After respectfully returning the gift to Lingxing, he walked into the Jietian Hall unhurriedly.

On Tianshu Peak, eight clear and melodious bells soon sounded, continuously and with a long rhyme. When many inner and outer disciples heard it, they were filled with envy and jealousy: "Which golden bell is this?" Master Dan wants to accept a disciple? Why not himself?"

In the Penglai sect, one to six bells ring to indicate the arrival of distinguished guests, and the bells sound different depending on the degree of distinguished guests. Seven bells ring to indicate the death of the Golden elixir master, eight bells indicate that the Golden elixir master or Lord Yin Shen has accepted a disciple, nine bells indicate someone has achieved the Golden elixir, and ten bells indicate the death of the master or the succession of the master. Eleven bells indicate the invasion of the enemy, twelve bells indicate that someone in the sect has proven the soul, and thirteen bells indicate the death of the true soul.

After the bell rang, all the leaders, elders, true disciples, and inner disciples all flew to the Jietian Hall to observe the ceremony. However, the outer disciples did not have this qualification and could only get the news afterwards.

Meng Li walked into the Jietian Hall and saw the disciple kneeling in the main hall, but his eyes narrowed. This man was one of Yuchang's enemies. He planned to let the master know if he could not find out the cause of Yuchang's death. Lutang called this person over, and then used his magic skills to cross-examine him. Which golden elixir master are you now a disciple of?

Looking further forward, the person standing under the leader was the cold-faced Mo Yuan.

Mo Yuan's acceptance of a disciple surprised many people. You must know that this is the first disciple that Mo Yuan has accepted. He is very likely to become a true disciple of the sect in the future, and Mo Yuan has never shown any intention of accepting a disciple before, otherwise Those chiefs and elders will not miss this opportunity. Their own disciples with excellent qualifications can recommend one or two. Even if Mo Yuan does not choose, they can still become familiar with each other. They may think of them when they recruit disciples in the future. .

When everyone came, Grandmaster Lingxing presided over the ceremony as usual. He first bowed and kowtowed to the jade statue of the ancestor Song Yan three times, then kowtowed to Mo Yuan three times and kowtowed to him, presented tea to the master, and then went through all the other things according to ancient rituals. Usually, the last item is the words and gifts from Mo Yuan.

"The golden elixir road is extremely difficult. Only those who can strengthen themselves, stick to their hearts, 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 expression of indifference and indifference before .

Shi Xuan kowtowed again and then replied: "Disciple, please remember this."

Then Mo Yuan took out an ancient and simple bronze lamp. The lamp, support pillars, and tray all had only a little talisman-like pattern. One of the lamps in the bronze lamp was like a bean, shining with a dim yellow halo. When he looked carefully, he felt The lanterns are sometimes green and sometimes yellow, sometimes red and sometimes white, and they are ever-changing: "This Qianyang blue lamp was a magic weapon that I carried with me when I was a boy. The light on it is the Qianyang true fire that is combined with the Qianyan true fire and the sun's true fire. , destroying evil, destroying illusions, burning mountains, boiling seas, and self-defense all have wonderful uses. They have been sacrificed to the seventh heaven and perfected. Later, because they were not in harmony with the practice, they were discarded. I give this lamp to you, not because of how powerful it is, but It’s about letting you remember the choice when you see it.”

Shi Xuan took the Qian Yang Green Lantern and kowtowed one last time. At this point, the ceremony was completed. Shi Xuan became an inner disciple of the Penglai Sect and the sixteenth generation disciple. He left his name in the sect's inheritance book. This name is like a soul lamp. , if Shi Xuan dies one day, the name on it will become dim and disappear. Grandmaster Lingxing also used a technique to change the mark of an outer disciple on the jade slip of good deeds to that of an inner disciple.
