Transmission of Dharma

Chapter 31 Teaching the Dharma

At this time, Zhao Qi seemed to be a little uninterested by what he said, so he sighed and waved his hand: "Let's not talk about this for now. I called you here today to give you something. Yesterday I saw Judging from your pulse, you are a little weak. When ordinary people talk about spiritual practice, they always find it strange and difficult. , it is difficult to get started. For ordinary people, it is right to be magical and difficult, but the difficulty in getting started is not actually due to understanding or opportunity, but to a person's physical weakness. You have to take good care of your body first, then you can talk about whether you are qualified to get started——"

As he spoke, he stood up and walked to the gable, put his hand into his backpack and took out a small white porcelain bottle.

Li Wuxiang only took one look and immediately recognized that the bottle was exactly the same as the medicine bottle he found from Zhao Puppet when he was trapped.

Zhao Qi held the bottle, walked back to Li Wuxiang and sat down again, looking at him: "Your body should be in good condition. It is probably because you have been too worried recently that you have been weak. This can be repaired. But if you want to take supplements, I’m afraid it will take several months, and this thing——”

He pushed the porcelain bottle away and shook it gently. Li Wuxiang heard a soft sound inside, which seemed to be one or two small and round things rolling. Then Zhao Qi tilted the mouth of the bottle, and a soybean-sized, black-red pill slipped into his palm: "——It's called Fuyuan Baosheng Pill, and it's our secret treasure of Ranshan. If someone is seriously injured and about to die, this thing can It will help him live for a few months. If a practitioner takes it, his cultivation will greatly increase. I only have two pills here. I will save one pill for emergencies. Please take this pill first."

Li Wuxiang had taken Fuyuan Baosheng Pill when he was trapped, but Zhao Pup's pill was as big as the belly of his little finger, while Zhao Qi's pill was only about the size of a soybean, and the aroma of the medicine was not as strong as the one he had taken before. I don't know if it was because of it. Defective goods.

But the problem is not here, but Zhao Qi's attitude - after he told Li Wuxiang to take the medicine first, he did not immediately hand over the pills. Instead, he stared at the pills in his palm and breathed a few more times. tone, and then slowly stretched out his hand. Li Wuxiang was familiar with this expression - it's what a person looks like when he cherishes something very much but has to give it away. This is strange... According to his understanding of Zhao Qi, this person is not very generous, but on the first day he officially met his disciple, he gave him one of the only two pills? He originally thought that Zhao Qi wanted to find a smart and clever young man to serve him, but now, does he really want to train him as a closed disciple?

He immediately showed a fearful attitude and was speechless: "Master... isn't this too expensive?!"

Zhao Qiqiang smiled: "It's good to know how valuable it is. But as long as you practice diligently, your hard work as a teacher will be in vain. Take it and eat it."

Li Wuxiang stretched out his hand, and Zhao Qi put the pill into his palm and immediately took his hand back, as if he would regret it the next moment. Li Wuxiang picked up the elixir and smelled it. The taste was exactly the same as what he had eaten before. Seeing Zhao Qi staring at him again, he hesitated for a moment, put the pill in his mouth and swallowed it.

When he swallowed it, he saw Zhao Qi's throat moving, as if he wanted the thing to fall into his own stomach.

As soon as the pill entered the body, Li Wuxiang immediately felt warm, and the hunger that had been lingering for several days was swept away. Although it was not as good as Zhao Puppet's great elixir, it was still like drinking a bowl of hot food in the cold winter. Porridge is good for the whole body.

Zhao Qi saw the happy look on his face and couldn't help but ask: "How do you feel?"

But before Li Wuxiang could speak, he added, "Are you feeling warm and refreshed all over, and feel like you have endless strength?"

"Yes, it's exactly what Master said."

Zhao Qi then sighed: "Master has only taken this medicine three times - well, you don't have to thank me anymore. While your mind is clear after taking the medicine, Master will now teach you the secrets of our Ranshan sect." Introductory mental skills. I will tell you first, remember as much as you can, and then I will ask you. This is the time to test your understanding. "

After he finished speaking, he spoke, not too fast, but not too slow either. At first, Li Wuxiang was a little worried, but after listening to a few words, he found that the mental method of starting the Ranshan sect was very similar to the cultivation method of "Fa Zhen Zhong" in Guangchanzi's Taoist book. They both teach people to practice physical training first. Yes, it's just that compared to Guangchanzi, this entry-level mentality is much rougher and simpler. I don't know if it was simplified and improved by Guangchanzi.

When he first came into contact with Guangchanzi, the memory from the external evil had already told him that if he wanted to truly understand what kind of skills, he needed a "Tao Jue" similar to the code comparison. If he was really Li Jiye, after listening to what Zhao Qi dictated at this time, what he heard must be a philosophical work about how humans and heaven and earth should get along, so he frowned slightly while listening, and made a labored and ignorant expression. look.

After Zhao Qi finished speaking his mind, he stopped and waited for a short while and asked, "Tell me now, what did you hear?"

Li Wuxiang frowned and said nothing. Zhao Qi waited for him for a while. But after a few breaths passed, I saw that he was still frowning and thinking hard, and I gradually became impatient. In terms of understanding and aptitude, Zhao Qi thinks that he is not among the best in the world, or even first-rate, but he can still be regarded as the kind of person whose talent far exceeds that of ordinary people. Therefore, the most annoying person on weekdays Just the stupid ones.

And now, is his new cheap disciple also that kind of stupid? He has seen this kind of person - he is extremely sophisticated and shrewd in his ways of the world, and seems to be very smart, but when he really needs to use his brain, his true colors are revealed, and he knows that he is just a humanoid beast who is good at begging for food. Is this Li Jiye also like this? That's such a pity. That pill——

At this time, he heard Li Wuxiang say: "Master, I... don't understand."

Zhao Qi breathed out from his nose and suppressed his impatience: "Why don't you understand? You don't understand at all?"

"I... when I listened to what you said, I felt that you were talking about how people should coexist with the world, how to fish, hunt and farm according to the rules, and how to educate the children of the family. But I also felt that it was not talking about this, but Teaching people how to move, breathe, and maintain health is somewhat similar to what I have practiced, but I feel that there are many things that are not right, and I can't figure it out."

Zhao Qi was stunned for a moment, with a breath stuck in his throat. After a while, he recovered and stood up: "You... don't worry about whether it's right or not, tell me what you think."

At this point, there is no need to hide your clumsiness. Therefore, relying on the Guang Chanzi he had practiced, he slowly opened his mouth and roughly said the main idea of ​​the method without using any abstruse or profound wording.

When Li Wuxiang was halfway through speaking, Zhao Qi slowly held his breath. When he finished speaking, Zhao Qi sat back on his chair and was speechless for a long time.

Li Wuxiang frowned slightly, carefully observed Zhao Qi's expression, and asked slightly uneasily: "...Master, am I too weak in understanding?"

Zhao Qi stared at him for a while, then came back to his senses and hummed softly: "Your understanding is not too bad, but it is too good. What I am telling you is called 'Hua Lu Bao Xia Pian' , is the most common entry-level practice among the thirty-six sects. It's normal for ordinary people to wonder what it means, because if you want to practice the method of cultivation, in addition to what I just told you, you also need to know this Tao Jue, huh, forget it. , you listen to me again."

Zhao Qi leaned on the chair and explained the Dao Jue. Then he was silent for a moment, staring straight at Li Wuxiang: "Do you understand now? Only after you know this method, you will realize that the chapter I just mentioned about embracing the dew and embracing the clouds is actually full of hidden meanings. Ordinary People who know Tao Jue and can tell what you just said in ten and a half months are already considered geniuses..."

He lowered his face and said, "Not only is my understanding high, I'm afraid my mind is even smarter! I already know what this practice is about, but I still humble myself by saying 'I don't understand' - why, I want to see if my teacher can understand it" Do you want me to have such a talented person like you?"

Zhao Qi was angry for no reason. When an immortal master like him is angry, ordinary people should be trembling with fear and fear, but Li Wuxiang couldn't help but smile in his heart.

Before they met, he felt that since Zhao Qi could practice cultivation, he must be quite smart. After Zhao Qi tested him with paper people and drugs that night, Li Wuji's evaluation of him changed to "impatient" but "cautious and cautious". And now, he has one more comment about Zhao Qi - like a child.

He could already vaguely guess why Zhao Qi's temperament was so weird. However, he had seen many such people in his previous life and knew how to deal with them. So he immediately fell silent, lowered his head, let some sweat break out on his forehead, and just defended in a low voice: "Master... this disciple didn't mean that."

Zhao Qi stared at him for a while, then slowly exhaled and waved his hand: "Since you have such a good understanding and have tried practicing cultivation before, I have also told you a lot, so that's the end of it for today. , go back and practice well with your understanding.”

Li Wuxiang looked up at him, made a confused and pitiful look, and called "Master" again, but Zhao Qi simply closed his eyes and ignored him. Then he slowly took two steps back, quietly opened the door and exited, then closed the door again.

But he didn't really leave, but stood by the door and waited quietly. He felt that if his guess about Zhao Qi's temperament was correct, then within a few breaths at most, he would -

The door opened a crack, revealing half of Zhao Qi's frowning face. But the moment he saw Li Wuxiang, the remaining anger on this half of his face dissipated a lot: "What are you still standing here for?"

"...This disciple has made Master unhappy and dare not leave."

Zhao Qi finally sighed: "Okay, you can go back, it's not all because of you. But remember, don't be too clever in the future."

"Yes, disciple, I have remembered it."

Zhao Qi closed the door. Li Wuxiang waited for a moment, took two steps back, and let out a breath.

When he came to this world a month ago, life and death were uncertain. Half a month ago, he was trying his best to gain a foothold. But now, he finally grasped Zhao Qi's ability to firmly embed himself in this world. The wedge is gone.

The second update is at 8am.
