The atmosphere in the lecture hall was strange.
The disciples' eyes wandered and they whispered.
The great elder raised his head slightly and frowned slightly.
The son of destiny who was everyone's envy last night, suddenly became the focus in another sense this morning.
Chen Tianming covered the bruises at the corners of his eyes and limped into the lecture hall, lowering his head and not daring to look directly into the elder's eyes.
"Destiny, what's wrong with your injuries?" Taoist Lord Wanjie finally asked, but his tone was kind, more concerned than reproachful.
However, when this question was asked in front of everyone, even if he cared about it, it didn't come to Chen Tianming's heart.
——He didn’t dare to answer at all!
You can't tell Master that he fell because he practiced spinning in the peach forest all night last night, right?
That's so embarrassing!
But if you don’t answer that way, how should you answer it?
It was always impossible for him to lie in front of his master.
"Master..."
"It's like this. We were passing through a mountain road last night and I accidentally sprained my foot. Thanks to Brother Tianming, I had to hold me. But I panicked and took him down."
However, the ancient sword suddenly stood up and explained with a guilty look on his face.
But the great elder just glanced at him, and then looked at Chen Tianming: "Tianming, is this like it?"
That gaze was obviously gentle and soft, like a spring breeze, but when it fell on Chen Tianming's heart, it felt like a huge boulder weighing down his head, heavy and unbearable.
He became more and more afraid to say: "Master, it's... it's like this..."
The great elder nodded slightly, with no unnecessary expression in his eyes.
But just when Chen Tianming really thought that he could get through the test, he suddenly felt his whole body tightening, and then the world was spinning for an instant, and his whole body was actually suspended upside down.

He opened his mouth violently and wanted to scream, but found that his mouth was open, but no sound came out, and he could only whine in his heart.
Sweeping his vision hastily, he discovered that the ancient sword beside him had also been hung upside down, and the delicate face was full of panic, as if it were his reflection.
At this moment, he immediately realized how embarrassed he was in front of everyone.
Last night, he was still the proud man of heaven, but today he has turned into a funny clown that is obvious to everyone.
The sudden confusion and unspeakable panic almost made him burst into tears on the spot.
His eyes were subconsciously looking for Li Jiu'er's figure, looking for Lu Changsheng's figure.
He couldn't believe how they would view him at this time?
After all, why does this happen?
…
Li Jiu'er glanced at Chen Tianming coldly and sighed even more in her heart.
She wanted to plead for Chen Tianming, but she understood that she was nothing in front of the great elder of the Wanfa Immortal Sect. If she said too much, it would be wrong, so it was better not to say anything.
"That is the great elder of the Ten Thousand Fa Immortal Sect, the famous Taoist Lord of Ten Thousand Tribulations. Do you really think that he is as kind-hearted, tolerant and tolerant as he appears?"
And since there was nothing she could do, she simply stopped looking.
…
At the right moment, Chen Tianming turned his eyes and saw her "turning back in disappointment".
My heart, which was already riddled with holes, suddenly felt like it was struck by lightning, and I was completely stunned.
He almost subconsciously turned to look at the other person.
But all I could see was that Lu Changsheng's profile was picturesque, as if he had never even glanced at him.
In his eyes, he was still as small as an ant, and it seemed that no matter good or bad, it could not affect him.
Chen Tianming's heart suddenly became violent.
But while he was angry, he also had an inexplicable feeling of emptiness deep in his heart, a sense of sadness that he couldn't get what he wanted.
…
But it's not that Lu Changsheng doesn't want to pay attention to him.
On the contrary, he has a certain natural tendency to join in the fun of the Chinese people.
But he had no time to pay attention to a circus clown right now.
The [Foolishness +1] that just passed by his eyes shocked him.
At that moment, I felt like I was sitting on pins and needles in this lecture hall, and I wanted to run away on the spot.
"That's it, that's it. This is foolish desire!"
"Ignorance, ignorance of right and wrong, ignorance and darkness, the fire of the three poisons, and the heart of the five poisons."
"When something happens, you don't understand it, but you don't investigate it. You don't distinguish between right and wrong, but you don't clarify it. You are confused and ignorant."
"[Foolishness] is the same as [greed] and [lust]. If you possess it appropriately, it can be called open-minded. If you don't pursue it excessively, you can call it indifferent."
"But after being transformed ten times and a hundred times by the blood of this demon, being a little lazy and not wanting to pursue the answer to the question is [ignorance]."
"If you only have doubts in your heart, and you don't understand but don't give up investigating, you are not [ignorant]."
"Isn't this forcing people to become gangsters?"
"There is also this Qi Refining Lecture Hall. If I don't run away and continue to listen to the Taoist Master of Ten Thousand Tribulations teaching the Qi Refining Method, I will definitely have endless doubts about this Qi Refining Method, and I will be forced to keep investigating and keep improving. …This immortal can cultivate even if he doesn’t cultivate!”
Lu Changsheng is not against cultivating immortals.
After all, immortality equals immortality, and he also needs a way to protect himself.
However, cultivating immortals and seeking immortality is an act that goes against the laws of nature. Once you cultivate the Nascent Soul and the Great Dao is first established, it will lead to thunder disasters.
It is difficult for Nascent Soul monks to fight against thunder tribulations, and they usually try to avoid tribulations. Because their great path has just been established, they are not taken seriously by heaven, so they have ways to avoid tribulations.
But he is the reincarnation of a demon. Once he cultivates into Nascent Soul, he will be noticed by heaven. He will really stand in the spotlight and there is no way he can escape.
Moreover, he is riddled with karma, and the thunder tribulation he suffered must be ten times or a hundred times that of ordinary monks. I am afraid that if a thunderstorm comes down, there will be no bones left.
In "Reincarnation and Cultivation of Immortality", the third prince breaks through in battle and is born with an elixir. Even when he thinks he is in good hands, he is still crushed by the son of destiny. He is devoured by the inner demon before he even has time to survive the thunder tribulation and transforms into a heavenly demon.
If he cultivates normally, although he is not as good as the Son of Destiny, he still has an "innate unsullied sword body", and the golden elixir Yuanying is easy to use.
In other words, once he starts the path of cultivating immortality, he is guaranteed to be Nascent Soul!

…
Lu Changsheng's troubles went unnoticed, but Chen Tianming's clown attracted everyone's attention.
The discussion in the lecture hall suddenly became louder.
"What's going on? Isn't he a direct descendant of the great elder? Why did the great elder punish him?"
"Why else? After all, he is born as a mortal and lies by nature."
"The great elder just asked him why he was injured and answered honestly."
"That's not necessarily true. I saw them heading towards the Peach Blossom Forest last night."
"Peach Blossom Forest? What are they doing there?"
"Who knows, maybe it's a lucky break."
…
"Peach Blossom Forest? Did they go there last night?"
Lu Changsheng was puzzled when he heard this, and he didn't know why he was so bruised and swollen when he fell into the peach blossom forest.
"quiet!"
On the dais, the great elder put down the books in his hands and swept his eyes. Suddenly, an invisible pressure came down and everyone stopped.
"Sincerity is the way of heaven; sincerity is the way of man. The first thing I want to teach you today is the word "sincerity"."
His tone was still slow, as if he didn't mean to rebuke.
But when the disciples heard it, they were as silent as a cicada, and they realized that there was nothing random in the Wanfa Immortal Sect.
If you engage in fraud, then the elder's personal report will be a lesson learned from past mistakes.
After a moment of pause, the Great Elder got to the point: "The so-called refining Qi is based on the spiritual roots, breathing in and out, leading the spiritual Qi into the Dantian Qi sea, spreading throughout the body, and cleansing the marrow of the Yi Jing..."
As soon as he spoke, the disciples in the hall immediately held their breath and listened carefully, for fear of missing a word.
Wei Lu Changsheng wanted to cover his ears: If you don’t want to listen, I won’t listen!
But the great elder's voice has its own magic power. It touches the ears and burns into the soul. Even if you don't listen, you still have to listen!
