"People are more popular than others. Gouwa is the best choice in terms of both his cultivation aptitude and his understanding."
When the subject of hardship was mentioned, the mountain chief put down the tea cup, shook his head and said with a smile: "That little guy doesn't study hard. He likes to keep everything fresh for three days. He can go to heaven and earth like a skinned monkey. Among the fifth batch of apprentices He is like a mountain king. He has also learned the lesson from the last time and has become very bad. On the surface, he does not lose control and does not break the Taoist rules. At a young age, he uses his cleverness in the wrong place, and the people in charge of the temple can't take advantage of him. Method."
Zhao Zhuer smiled but said nothing. She saved Gou Wa in the first month of last year and promised to let Gou Wa become the fifth batch of official apprentices.
Zhang Wenfeng asked the Earth Protector in the secret realm and learned about some of Gouwa's situation.
At the end of the three-year assessment, no matter how Gou Wa restrained his performance, his reputation and character were still not satisfactory to the mind-reading mountain leader. He planned to leave the little guy to work in the fields and wait until he, the viewer, came out of seclusion before making a decision. .
Tu Hufa and Zhu'er have different opinions. They are also secretly following the investigation and agree to accept Gou Wa as an apprentice. He will teach the exercises and learn while continuing to observe, so as not to delay the little guy's qualifications. When the master returns, he will be The viewer decides with one word.
"I'll talk to him after I understand the situation. I heard that Gou Wa is the first one among the 120 apprentices to break through to the soft state, and he learns things quickly."
"In addition to his stubbornness, he likes to bully the weak, often ridicules and attacks his apprentices, and is full of lies. He is more diligent in practicing Kung Fu. Perhaps it is because he was bullied severely in the past. He does not like to study and study, and chanting sutras is just for errands. , practicing swordsmanship and martial arts with fists and kicks, and he has always ranked first in the major and minor assessments."
Zhao Zhuer smiled and said that any weird and bad things that happened among the apprentices had something to do with Gou Wa.
It's really hard to find fault with Gouwa. The little guy is as smart as a monkey and knows how to use rules to achieve his own goals.
Not many apprentices were recruited this time through the selection of the best apprentices. The style of study is more lively than the previous period. This is all due to Gou Wa. The mountain chief can't stand Gou Wa and has nothing to do with the little guy. This is partly because Gou Wa is so good at cultivation. Protruding, talent is rare.
You Mengchang, who was wandering invisibly outside the west hall, became interested after hearing the conversation between the three of them. He no longer followed the suspicious Hu Qian'er and drifted towards the Qingzheng Courtyard.
He has the formation equipment given by the master of the temple, and because of his natural instincts, ordinary formations cannot stop him at all.
It was the recess time, and You Mengchang easily found a dog that the three viewers could talk about. He was black and bright, his eyes were lively, and he was jumping up and down to be active on the field.
"You Lao, what do you think of that child?"
The voice of the temple master came to his ears, both a reminder and a knock. You Mengchang let go of Gouwa who had been dazed for a moment as if nothing had happened, and used his own ability to spy on a little guy who had just entered the threshold of cultivating immortals, just like flipping through an open book. As easy as a book.
"His ideas are wild and unconstrained, and he is not bound by secular rules. He does not agree with Taoist teachings from the bottom of his heart. Right and wrong are not important to him. He is the most powerful person in the world. This child... Haha, not bad!"
You Mengchang replied via voice transmission.
When it comes to the ability to observe people's hearts, Yu Mengchang humbly said that no one dares to claim to be the second best in this world. With the help of the yes-man's mind-reading skills, the mountain chief is insignificant in front of him and is not qualified to be mentioned.
He entered the dream with his soul, and could grasp the key points in a moment. Looking at Gouwa's bitter and short past, he said "not bad" because he thought that the little guy was a very good host, with good quality and good talent. The Lord warned him not to think wrongly.
He decided to encourage the visitor to go to the Duxian Islands, which was not too far away, to search for them.
Through Gouwa's memory, he roughly knew the specialness of that place. If he really found a suitable host, he would not be pedantic and rigid and follow the four chapters of the agreement given to him by the master. He should do bad things quietly and act in secret without being noticed.
Who is innocent and who is not innocent in this world?
It is not the strong who has the final say.
As long as you act within the scope of heaven's punishment, don't be so vicious that you destroy a town at every turn, and don't suffer the disaster of annihilation, you can do whatever you want with the rest.
If you pay attention to this and worry about that, what the hell kind of practice is this?
Of course he is willing to work with the so-called righteous Taoists, Confucianists, and Buddhism cultivators.
When it comes to socializing, I have to admit that it is less tiring to deal with guys who have rules in their hearts. Even if there are scum among the righteous, the probability is relatively small.
He is both good and evil and does not want to make too many deals with ghost cultivators and demon cultivators.
It’s so damn tiring to be on guard at all times and be attacked at any time.
After that tragic incident in the fifth thousand years, he reflected and admitted that he had been in contact with the righteous way for a long time, and he had lost the vigilance he should have, and underestimated the dangers of the righteous person's heart becoming evil. Behind the glory and mist, there was tragedy. From now on, he will have no one but himself. No one can be too trusting.
Apart from spiritual practice, there is nothing but transactions and benefits.
Zhang Guanzhu, who was sitting in the west hall drinking tea, heard the evaluation of Gou Wa by an expert in observing people's hearts. He didn't ask any more questions. Based on the comments of the Earth Protector, the Mountain Chief, Zhu'er and others, he basically had an idea. It seems that the Taoist temple has been in the past few years. The influence of Gouwa's edification and education is still obvious, and there is no big problem with Gouwa's character.
The sect has another disciple who is good at taking advantage of loopholes and can do bad things.
It's an extra, not a bad thing.
Thousands of times, it is true that talents carved out of the same mold are not necessarily a good thing for the sect.
After chatting for most of an hour, Zhang Wenfeng saw Fan Chongfeng waiting under the tree by the stream after sending the two of them down the mountain.
In the midsummer season of May, the place is full of life with the chirping of cicadas and the fragrance of flowers.
The man wearing a human skin mask quickly stepped forward and saluted.
"Chongfeng has met the Guanzhu!"
"Don't be too polite."
Zhang Wenfeng raised his hand to support him and said with a smile, "Zhuang Yu followed Wei Jingjie and others to the Duxian Islands. It has been almost half a year, and I have asked you to take care of the affairs of the Serving Machine Hall. Are you still busy?"
Fan Chongfeng grinned and whispered, "That troublemaker is like a leech and can't get rid of him."
"Haha, those who are capable work hard, you can ask for more benefits from him, don't be too much at a loss."
Zhang Wenfeng joked, looked up and down, and said, "It has been more than seven years since I joined Shanmen. I have been cleansed of all evil spirits. I have built a solid foundation in practice. I am back to the late stage of the gradual decline. I am gratified."
Fan Chongfeng cupped his hands and smiled and said, "Fortunately, the temple master took me in that day."
Over the years, he followed the guidance of the master step by step and practiced steadily step by step. He did not try to be fast or compare with others. His mind was clean and he felt relaxed and comfortable. This experience was something he had never had before in his practice.
He is confident that he can advance to freedom in the tenth year.
It came naturally, and he didn't worry about his own cultivation at all now.
Looking back on my previous practice life, I was more tired than a dog, and I was restless and restless all day long.
After chatting for a while, Fan Chongfeng took out a compiled file, handed it to the viewer with both hands, and said through a message: "In the Qianxi Island Kingdom in the far west of the Eastern Continent, there is chaos in the territory. The major forces are fighting, and all life is in ruins. I have dispatched capable spies to go there. According to the analysis of the available information, it is the infiltration of forces from the Western Continent."
Zhang Wenfeng looked through the file and knew that Fan Chongfeng would not be so anxious to find him if there was no big deal. Looking at the notes on the file, as early as two months ago, the Qianxi Island Kingdom, which was thousands of miles away, began to be in chaos, sweeping more than a hundred large and small islands. .
"Does Zhuang Yu know about this?"
"Yesterday, I asked Pumpkin to send a secret message to Zhuang Yu. I received a reply from Feijian this morning. Shui Qingru and Chen Zhong escorted Zhuang Yu and are already on their way back."
"Pay close attention to Chishio Island Country."
"yes!"
