Throughout the ages, there have been too many such monks. My own talent is limited, I can't improve my cultivation no matter what, and I can't learn too profound techniques, so I can only place my hope on the way of heaven.
I dream of one day understanding the great avenue of heaven and earth, ascending to the sky and shattering the void in one step, and become a peerless strongman admired by thousands of people.
"Then have you realized it?" Gu Qingxi asked.
"Nonsense, how can it be so easy to comprehend the way of heaven? If I really wanted to comprehend it, would I still be here?" the fat old man replied angrily, and then lay down on the ground with his round belly.
"I said, you don't think you have to stare at the sky to understand the way of heaven, right?" Gu Qingxi raised her head and saw the almost transparent glazed tiles on the dome, and she felt a little dumbfounded.
This is also a common problem among many low-level monks. They only know how to daydream, but their understanding of the way of cultivation is like a bottle of vinegar that does not make a sound, but a half bottle of vinegar makes a difference.
"Understand the way of heaven, where can you look if you don't look at the sky?" The fat old man looked at Gu Qingxi as if he were a fool.
Obviously, this is the legendary half-bottle of vinegar.
"The way of heaven is ethereal and invisible, but it is present all the time and everywhere. So to understand the way of heaven, you don't have to look at the sky." Gu Qingxi said.
"What do you mean?" The fat old man looked confused.
"It means that the way of heaven is by your side. The sun, moon, mountains, rivers, and everything in the world all contain the way of heaven. Even an ant contains the way of heaven.
Therefore, as long as you practice hard, you will naturally be able to understand the way of heaven when you reach a certain state. You don't have to be so deliberate. "Gu Qingxi explained, giving him a few words by the way.
As he spoke, he took out a book of cultivation techniques and a book of sword skills from his storage bag and handed them to him.
This was originally prepared for Su Lingshuang, but when she went out in the morning, the girl was still practicing and there was no chance to give it to her, so it was just right to give it to the old man first.
Seeing that he was already quite old, Gu Qingxi couldn't bear the thought of him continuing to waste time - just looking up at the sky all day long to gain enlightenment. He probably didn't realize the truth, but he was suffering from cervical spondylosis.
Although his qualifications are probably not very good, with these two exercises and sword skills, he can reach the state of becoming a god and increase his life span by hundreds of years.
"The way of heaven is around us. The sun, moon, mountains and rivers, everything in the world, all contain the way of heaven, even an ant, an ant, an ant..." The fat old man's whole body was shocked, as if he was enlightened, and he muttered to himself and repeated Gu Qingxi's words, which was basically He didn't pay attention to what she said next, and he didn't pick up the sword skills she handed him.
Please, what I mean is that as long as you practice well, you will naturally understand the way of heaven when you reach the state.
The sun, moon, mountains and rivers are not the focus at all, okay? Of course, ants are not the point.
Do you know how to listen to others?
Gu Qingxi vaguely understood: Why did this old man reach the level of Nascent Soul at such an old age? He couldn't understand such an obvious reminder. It would be strange for his cultivation to be able to do so.
Looking at his dazed look, Gu Qingxi was really worried that the old man would go crazy because of her own words.
But after thinking about it, I felt relieved: with his little cultivation, it would only take one shot to become possessed, so there was nothing to worry about.
Gu Qingxi casually thrust the two books on Kung Fu and Sword Techniques into the hands of the fat old man and walked out of the library.
The red clouds on the sky are like fire, and the floating clouds are also dyed with dazzling red. They change into various shapes with the biting mountain wind, like a sea of fire churning, giving people a sense of majesty.
Gu Qingxi came to the middle of the mountain and stopped to admire this rare beauty.
Suddenly, a burst of violent Qi came.
This is...the power of thunder spirit!
Gu Qingxi immediately gathered her consciousness and explored the direction from which the energy came.
Her Nine Heavens Spiritual Veins have now been tempered with the Five Elements Spiritual Veins and the Two Nether Wind Veins, but there are still Thunder Veins and Ice Veins that have not been tempered.
Although it seems that her cultivation has not been affected at the moment, she knows that if she does not fully temper these two spiritual veins, she will never be able to advance to Mahayana, and her cultivation speed will become slower and slower in the future.
Could it be that there is some kind of thunder spirit treasure hidden there? Gu Qingxi's eyes stayed on a valley in the distance.
I heard from Xiao Fangqing that the valley is called Chenyu Valley. The scenery is extremely beautiful, but the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is not abundant, so except for new disciples who go to see the scenery, it is inaccessible at other times.
Without thinking much, Gu Qingxi immediately set off and ran quickly towards Chenyu Valley.
The initial tempering of the Nine Heavens Spiritual Vein is relatively easy, and the requirements for heavenly materials and earthly treasures are not too high, but the later the tempering becomes more difficult, the higher the requirements for heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
Even in her previous life, she had worked hard to refine the Nine Heavens Spiritual Vein, and the last few kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures were all obtained by chance.
After unexpectedly detecting thunder spiritual power today, Gu Qingxi would not miss the opportunity.
"Wait, little girl, wait." At this moment, the fat old man quickly moved his short legs and rolled over like a ball... well, he ran over and stood in front of her with a lunge. .
"What's wrong?" Gu Qingxi asked.
"What you just said makes sense. I seem to have realized something, and I came here to thank you. What's your name? Why haven't I seen you before?" the fat old man asked.
"I just came to the Pianyun Sect, and I am the new guest elder. My name is..." Gu Qingxi didn't want to pay attention to him at first, but others came to express their gratitude, but it was hard to turn them away thousands of miles away.
Besides, she felt a little guilty because she stepped on someone too hard just now.
"Gu Qingxi!" Before she could finish her words, she heard a sharp shout from behind.
Turning around, he saw Du Jiuling looking at him coldly. Du Shuiyao stood next to him, also with a sneer on his face.
"Master Du, is something wrong?" Gu Qingxi secretly increased her vigilance.
One look at the posture of Du Jiuling and his daughter, and she knew that they were coming with bad intentions.
"Gu Qingxi, I came here today to tell you something: as a human being, you must have self-awareness.
Our Misty Cloud Sect is also a Tianpin sect after all, and not just anyone is qualified to sit in the position of Elder Keqing. "Du Jiuling stood on the hillside, with his hands behind his back, looking down at Gu Qingxi, and said proudly.
"Master Du Peak, I don't quite understand what you mean." Gu Qingxi said "confusedly", quietly running the skills to gather spiritual power.
The opponent is a strong person in the late stage of transcending the tribulation. No matter how powerful her Seven Meteor Swords are, it will be difficult to defeat him.
"It means that you are not worthy of sitting on the position of the guest elder of the Pianyun Sect. If you know the truth, you will immediately return the token and leave the Pianyun Sect." Du Shuiyao said sharply.
The more she looked at Gu Qingxi's beautiful face, the angrier she became.
If her father hadn't repeatedly warned her not to do anything at will, she would have really wanted to take matters into her own hands and beat Gu Qingxi up and drive her away from the Misty Cloud Sect.
"Then what if I don't leave?" Gu Qingxi said calmly.
