Chapter 785 Shushan, the Punishment of Sealing the Heart
The old man nodded slowly, showing a lot of heaviness, "Yes, Shushan, the old man is from Shushan, but he is just an abandoned disciple..."
Zhou Shu's heart trembled slightly, and he remained silent, waiting for the old man to speak.
Shushan, in Zhou Shu's heart, used to be a very sacred name. If he traveled to Nanzhanzhou at the beginning, he would try his best to visit it. It would be best if he could join nature. Some other ideas, he also wants to know about various things in Shushan.
Unlike other major sects, Shushan disciples may be the fewest. What they recruit disciples is not about aptitude, but about "mysterious heart".
"Mysterious heart" is a special characteristic of immortal cultivators. It is not as clear as aptitude or meridians. It is easy to see whether it is good or bad, but it is hidden. Zhou Shu is not clear how to look at it and distinguish it. Confused, I only know that only Shushan can identify Xuanxin, and only those with Xuanxin are eligible to enter Shushan and become Shushan disciples.
The Taoism practiced by Shushan disciples is also very different from other sects.
There are no such things as mental methods and formulas in Shushan. It does not mean that Shushan Taoism is too secret to be passed on to the outside world, but that there is no such thing in Shushan. All mental methods have no written records or jade slips.
All sects have their own mental methods that have been handed down, but in the world of cultivating immortals, there is no way to find Shushan's mental methods.
Shushan disciples practice Taoism, they all go to Shushan Lingqiao, and then practice through Xuanxin perception.
Shushan Lingqiao is the most important place in Shushan. It is said that it is a bridge suspended in the air between Qixia Peak and Diancang Peak, but it is not visible to everyone.
Since the founding of the sect, all Shushan cultivators will leave their most essential insights on the Shushan Lingqiao. Of course, it is limited to the Taoism of Shushan. Over the years, the Taoism among them is difficult to count. After the disciples get started, they can go to Lingqiao for retreat. As long as they can comprehend some, they can be regarded as good Shushan disciples. If they are profoundly intelligent and comprehend a lot, it is not impossible to reach a very high level in a short period of time.
Although Shushan is one of the six major sects, they occupy very few places. Except for one of Shushan, there are basically no disciples of Shushan in other places. Of course, there are no affiliated sects. This is also very different from other major sects. Tianjianmen's affiliated forces almost spread over half of Dongsheng Prefecture, and Chongyang Palace even took the middle-level sects in the entire North Luzhou under its command.
There is also a very strange point, that is, when Shushan disciples go out to practice, they cannot mention that they are Shushan disciples.
Because of various specialties, Shushan is very mysterious in the world of cultivating immortals, and its reputation is not obvious, but no one dares to question the strength of Mount Shu, and its status is even a bit detached, because in every era, there are amazing monks of Shushan who appear, shaking the world of cultivating immortals .
Now that there is no great power, the world of cultivating immortals has always believed that if someone can break through the Mahayana realm, that person will probably be a disciple of Shushan.
"Senior is from Shushan."
Zhou Shu looked at the old man, feeling a little throbbing in his heart, "I want to ask, what exactly is Xuanxin?"
Taoist Henglang came from Mount Shu, so he is naturally a person with a mysterious heart. Perhaps his doubts can be answered.
"You ask the old man?" The old man shook his head slightly, "The old man once had it and felt it, but he couldn't tell what it was, it was just a feeling, and everything was born from the mysterious heart, mysterious and mysterious, it can be said to be infinitely mysterious. , now it’s gone, I don’t feel anything at all, I can’t say anything.”
Zhou Shu was a little stunned, "What does it mean that you don't have it? Can you still have no Xuanxin?"
The old man sighed softly, "When the old man was expelled from Shushan, he was given the punishment of sealing his heart. From now on, he can no longer feel his mysterious heart, and he can no longer use any Shushan heart method."
Zhou Shu paused, "Huh?"
Xuanxin can still be sealed, he has never heard of it, but it seems that this kind of punishment is quite severe, which is equivalent to depriving Shushan of everything.
"I'm not a disciple of Shushan, so I can't use the Taoism of Shushan anymore. There is nothing to complain about," the old man showed a little indifference. Not too bad."
Seemingly indifferent, there are many regrets when he speaks, and he can't hide it at all.
Falling down from the disciples of Shushan who were high in the clouds, one can imagine the severe blow. It seems that there is no change, but the inside is completely different.
The establishment of the Tianliu Sect may be just a pastime in his desperation. Even Zhou Shu can see that a founder of the sect has no emotion at all about the destruction of his sect, but talking about Shushan is a burst of excitement , it is simply strange.
The jade slip that I found before may also be the inspiration of Taoist Henglang from the Lingqiao in Shushan.
Looking at the old man, Zhou Shu quickly had many thoughts in his mind.
He hesitated and said, "Why was senior..."
"I don't want to mention it, so you don't have to ask." The old man shook his head resolutely.
The answer was as expected, Zhou Shu didn't say much, and continued to ask, "This junior is taking the liberty, so why did senior go back to Shushan? Besides, can't senior's soul go back by himself?"
"Back then, the heart-sealing punishment among the old man was three thousand years. Now that the time has come, the old man never thought that he could survive until now..."
There was a lot of excitement in the eyes of the old man, "Since he is still alive, the old man must try his best to return to Shushan, lift the punishment of sealing his heart, and rearrange the gate wall of Shushan. As for why he can't go by himself, you should also be able to see that the old man has no ability to go. , although the old man still has the primordial spirit, he is not even as good as the divine soul, and has no strength at all."
Zhou Shu had already felt this point.
During the conversation, he has been using his spiritual sense to detect the old man, he can see very clearly, and no matter how he detects, the old man can't resist, he can only let it be manipulated, all signs show that the old man's soul really has no power It's almost the same as Shenhun, there is no threat to him at all, otherwise he wouldn't get so close and listen to it for so long.
The old man explained the reason.
It turned out that his primordial spirit was not cultivated later, but originated from the Taoism of Shu Mountain. After the mysterious heart was sealed, the primordial spirit also lost most of its power. Except for simple cultivation, most other things could not be done. It is also a tragedy for a cultivator in the divine realm to be unable to play the role of the primordial spirit.
The primordial spirit is useless, he is not considered a real cultivator of transformation. Before his lifespan is reached, the body will prematurely age and die, but the primordial spirit has not died yet, but the primordial spirit cannot return to the physical body to replenish, and simple cultivation is not enough to maintain the primordial spirit Due to the huge consumption, the Yuanshen naturally became weaker and weaker. He thought that he would die without hope soon, so he stayed in the secret room and waited for death quietly... Who knew that the Yuanshen was still alive after two thousand years , to my surprise, although I have no strength at all, but to be alive is hope.
Sure enough, after waiting for hope, after seeing Zhou Shu, he had the idea of going back to Shushan.
"I see."
Zhou Shu seemed to have realized something, "The junior understands roughly, the senior wants to go back to Mount Shu and lift the punishment of sealing his heart, then what?"
The old man looked disappointed, "In Shushan, I have unfinished business... I only want to see two people, and I will die without regret."
"What the seniors said, the juniors generally understand."
Zhou Shu thought, what the old man said should be true, and in this case, lying is meaningless.
The old man's eyes were a little eager, "Are you willing?"
Zhou Shu nodded slowly, "I will think about it."
Although what the old man said was probably true, he would not rashly agree to such a request.
