Chapter 53 Shen Ji's Apology

Xiao Qiu didn't need to verify Yang Baozhen's identity. The next day, during breakfast, the news that Shen Ji's mother came to Yangshen Peak to be the chief teacher had spread among the disciples. Both sides of the long table were filled with stretched necks, erect ears, and rapidly moving lips.

Even those disciples who had been in Yangshen Peak for at least a year showed strong curiosity. Most people did not chew their food according to the rules during this breakfast. Xiao Qiu made a special observation and found that no one intervened.

He and the teenagers in Yelin Town were also discussing in a low voice. After hearing about Yang Baozhen's experience of persuading four people to return last night, everyone felt that this might not be a bad thing. Shen Hao especially held this view: "I think Yang Dujiao is quite kind, unlike the two brothers of the Shen family. Shen Geng... must be like his father, right, brother Xiaoqiu?"

Xiaoqiu responded vaguely. Yang Baozhen was indeed not arrogant, but Shen Geng and Shen Ji were not either. If the tragedy of killing in a duel had never happened, no one would have thought that Shen Geng would be so cruel, not even Dujiao Meng Yuanhou.

Coincidentally, the Dujiao who led the disciples to practice today was Yang Baozhen, and this was also Xiaoqiu's first lesson at Yangshen Peak.

When going to the Sizu Hall where the class was taught, a small strange thing happened. A strange disciple of fifteen or sixteen years old ran over from the front, stared at Xiaoqiu for a while, and asked abruptly: "Are you Mu Xingqiu?"

"Yes."

"Oh." The visitor ran back without saying another word.

"What does this mean?" Xiaoqiu was puzzled, and Daliang Shen Xiuming was also puzzled, "I have never seen a foster disciple so rude and unruly."

In the Sizu Hall, Xiaoqiu knew the reason. At this time, he had already sat on a cushion at the back according to the room number, and was trying to adjust his sitting posture by imitating other disciples. A female disciple came from the other side of the hall.

This was also a foster disciple. She ran straight to Xiaoqiu from the back of the team and did not attract much attention. She stood five steps in front of him, looking up and down unceremoniously, and her eyes were full of undisguised curiosity and exploration.

"Do I know you?" Xiaoqiu asked unhappily. From the dining room to the Sizu Hall, there have been several such glances.

"Your name is Mu Xingqiu." The female disciple said.

"Thank you for reminding me what my name is. I almost forgot it." Xiaoqiu couldn't help but say sarcastically.

"Hatred will lead you astray. At the least, it will affect your progress in cultivation, and at the worst, it will make you possessed." The female disciple was not angry. Instead, she approached and taught condescendingly, "And you have no chance of success. Instead of imagining that you can do everything, why not calm down and follow the will of heaven?"

These words...

Xiao Qiu immediately realized that the content of the Banyuelin party last night had been leaked! And it was leaked very thoroughly. They knew about the five-year revenge plan, and they also knew about Xiao Qiu's claim that she had opened up to Santian.

Xiao Qiu suppressed the shock in her heart and raised her head to ask back: "How many years have you been in Yangshen Peak?"

The female disciple's face changed slightly, and she turned and left. The longer she stayed in Yangshen Peak, the more ordinary her qualifications were. This was a headache for many disciples who stayed in Yangshen Peak.

"Daliang, is it the rule here to meddle in other people's business? How did she know that we..." Xiao Qiu frowned slightly, and Daliang hummed twice as a response. He had already sat up straight and was ready to enter the state of meditation.

Xiaoqiu did not bother Daliang again and looked around. Fangfang was too far away. Among the disciples of Yelin Town, only Shen Hao responded. He turned back and looked at Xiaoqiu for a moment, expressing the same doubt in his eyes: How did the content of the party spread?

The first to be suspected were of course the friends in Yelin Town.

Thinking of the possibility of this, Xiaoqiu was deeply annoyed. Although no one said that it must be kept secret, it was self-evident. Otherwise, why would they go to the remote Half Moon Forest to discuss it?

The last rustling sound of clothes rubbing against each other in the Sizu Hall also disappeared. Xiaoqiu turned his head and saw that Yang Baozhen, the teacher, was standing in the aisle not far from him.

"Contemplation is the only way to cultivate the Tao, and you will be with it for the rest of your life." Yang Baozhen did not go to the front, but stood there and began to teach. The disciples looked back when they heard the sound, but were stopped. "I am Yang Baozhen, your teacher of the Five Elements Department. Please do not be distracted and look back. Curiosity is just like the flowers and plants on the roadside. Looking at them too much will slow down your pace. Okay, start contemplation now."

The Sizu Hall was silent, and Xiaoqiu also tried to put aside his thoughts. Fangfang taught him a simple method yesterday. After a while, he opened his eyes and found Yang Baozhen staring at him.

"You just arrived yesterday and have not learned the method of contemplation yet."

"Yes, I will teach you."

"Clearing your mind is the first step. The Tao fire is pure and the spiritual energy is clear. If there are impurities in your heart, you cannot accommodate the spiritual energy and burn the Tao fire."

"Do you also need to clear hatred?" Since the revenge plan is no longer a secret, Xiaoqiu simply broke the window paper.

Xiaoqiu did not say anything else. He knew that if he asked further, he would only get more vague and mysterious answers.

Yang Baozhen also changed the topic, and explained in detail the method of visualization in a slow tone, how to keep a thought in mind, how to breathe, how to overcome the itching, numbness, soreness and pain in the body...

Xiaoqiu followed his instructions and entered the visualization state. This was the first time, and he couldn't hold on for too long. He opened his eyes and saw other disciples still practicing, while Yang Baozhen was walking slowly back and forth in the aisle, chanting something in a strange rhythm.

Xiaoqiu couldn't hear a word, but he felt that her voice was refreshing. He suddenly remembered the spring in Yelin Town, the gentle breeze mixed with the warmth of the south and the coolness of melting snow, he drove the horses to graze, picking wild vegetables that had just sprouted along the way...

He closed his eyes and entered the state of contemplation again. This time, his feelings were clearer. After an unknown period of time, an invisible and intangible breath seeped into his body from the pores of his body, flowed gurglingly in his blood, brushed through his internal organs, and then left him. And go, leaving nothing behind and taking nothing away.

Xiaoqiu suddenly felt a sense of loss. He wanted to keep that breath. He knew that it was the so-called spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Every cultivator tried every means to keep it in the body to condense the inner elixir.

At this time, Yang Baozhen's chanting voice became clear in her ears, like encouragement and urging, and Xiaoqiu entered the state of contemplation for the third time.

Chanting is an important Taoist magic, which is very helpful to practice. It can even become a separate subject. Taoist priests in other subjects must study it. Yang Baozhen is a master of the Five Elements, but his skill in chanting is extraordinary. Two hours later , the disciples opened their eyes one after another, all showing joy and admiration for this new female cultivator.

Xiaoqiu was not yet proficient in thinking and was interrupted seven times, but he felt that this morning was not wasted. He had a new goal for himself and the future: seize all the time to practice thinking and strive to condense Qi into elixir as soon as possible.

The disciples stood up and saluted the Taoist priest in unison. Yang Baozhen returned the salute, and the morning's homework was considered over.

Everyone was about to leave Sizu Hall in order, but Shen Ji did something that everyone expected - he broke away from the team, walked up to Daliang Shen Xiuming, and saluted.

Everyone stopped and watched. The teenagers in Yelin Town were a little unable to react, and Daliang was even more stunned.

After Shen Ji finished his courtesy, he said sincerely: "Fellow Taoist Shen Xiuming, I am here to ask for your forgiveness. My brother did a very wrong thing and received the punishment he deserved. What I want to say is: the path of spiritual practice It’s hard to concentrate, let alone being distracted. Now that we are brothers and sisters in Pangshan, can you forgive me for my stupid behavior in Jinghu Village?”

Daliang was shocked and stayed for a while before returning the courtesy, "Of course... that's your brother's business. You haven't done anything. I don't need my forgiveness. I am willing to practice side by side with my Taoist friends."

"Thank you." Shen Ji saluted again, then walked to Xiaoqiu and saluted as well, "We had some misunderstandings in Jinghu Village. Are you willing to let them go away, Taoist Mu Xingqiu?"

Xiaoqiu felt conflicted in his heart. It was hard for him to believe Shen Ji's sincerity. However, the two of them had not had much trouble in Jinghu Village. It was unclear whether Si Guoya's visit was real or not... His refusal to accept the apology in front of everyone seemed like he was Stingy, he said: "Okay, it's just a misunderstanding."

Shen Ji saluted again and returned to the team. At this time, Yang Dujiao had already left. The disciples filed out without any surprises. No one commented. Except for the initial accident, it was as if nothing had happened. The few retained disciples who paid attention to Xiao Qiu seemed to have no curiosity and did not even look at Xiao Qiu.

Daliang has returned to normal and is waiting to join the queue out of the hall. He seems to have no distracting thoughts. Xiaoqiu always felt that something was wrong, and at this moment he saw Fangfang's eyes.

Fangfang had already joined the queue of female disciples moving forward. She was dozens of steps away from Xiaoqiu. Her eyes were just a glance, with no special expression, just a hint of doubt. Xiaoqiu suddenly woke up. wa. co

In the dining room, dozens of disciples ate quietly, even the chewing movements were so uniform. They took a mouthful of rice thirty-six times, no more and no less. After seven mouthfuls, they took a sip of water, no sooner or later. No one except Xiao Qiu I didn't notice anything weird about it.

Yesterday was the day for remembering ancestors, and everyone showed some independence. After thinking about it this morning, even Shen Hao became extremely compliant. He didn't even sit across from Xiaoqiu, but sat on another table according to the room number. On the edge of the table.

Xiaoqiu held the bowl and couldn't take a bite of rice. Is this the way to obey the will of Yangshen Peak? He suddenly understood why Marquis Meng Yuan said such words to him - "Remember that I am the master who teaches heaven-defying techniques."

Could it be that... Meng Yuanhou is the only sect who teaches heaven-defying techniques?

Xiaoqiu put down his job and walked out of the dining room under the confused eyes of several disciples. He wanted to try again. He wanted to get out of Yangshen Peak. This was his real goal. It was not just to test the results of his practice, nor to show it to anyone. With his independent behavior, he just wanted to prove that he had not forgotten the Mengdu religion.

Not far away, Xiaoqiu stopped. He had promised to try it with Fangfang, so he was not in a hurry. Before that, he should find out one thing first: What kind of tricks are Yang Baozhen and Shen Ji, mother and son, playing?

Shen Geng's curse was still echoing in her ears. Xiaoqiu never believed that hatred would really destroy itself for no reason. Shen Ji was not so humble yesterday. When her mother arrived, she immediately apologized sincerely. There must be a reason for this.

It is impossible for the sects to help with this kind of thing. There is probably only one disciple in the entire Yangshen Peak who can explain it clearly.
