Chapter 612: The world of suffering
“Everyone, please do not spread the news about me accepting disciples.”
Gao Xian said, flicking his long sleeves, "Everyone, please step aside."
Yao Qinglin, the housekeeper, and others all bowed and retreated, including Yongqing, and all outsiders exited the courtyard.
Shui Tiancheng hesitated and said in a low voice, "Master Immortal, I'll go see him off in the same year."
Gao Xian ignored Shui Tiancheng. Next to him, Yongzhen nodded slightly: "Go."
Shui Tiancheng hurriedly saluted and hurried out of the gate. He took Yao Qinglin's hand and said, "Yucheng, you stay here for two days, and I'll treat you to a couple of drinks."
Yao Qinglin shook his head quickly: "This can't be done. I have official duties. I want to send Immortal Master Yongqing to Yunyang Mansion. It is an exception to stop by to see Brother Shui. How can I delay the Immortal Master's schedule?"
"Um?"
Shui Tiancheng was a little surprised. Yao Qinglin brought the immortal master to accept his daughter as his apprentice. This was a great opportunity for him. No matter what, he wanted to accept Yao Qinglin's favor.
Why did Yao Qinglin change his tune as soon as he opened his mouth? A smart person like him shouldn't be like this.
Shui Tiancheng hesitated and said, "What about my daughter?"
Yao Qinglin was unhappy. He had already sent the immortal master to the Shui family. Since the immortal master didn't like him, he had nothing to say. Why is Shui Tiancheng so ignorant?
His expression immediately became cold: "Since you don't have this fairy fate, you can't force it. Brother Shui, just say goodbye."
This made Shui Tiancheng even more surprised. Why did Yao Qinglin look like this and what he said was wrong! What went wrong?
Shui Tiancheng didn't know how to explain it, so he could only bow his hands and send this man of the same year off to the train. He also knew in his heart that this small misunderstanding had offended Yao Qinglin.
This man of the same age is not very big-minded, but has deep thoughts. If someone says something bad about him, he can hold the grudge for ten years. Shui Tiancheng could only sigh in his heart, what do you mean...
Yao Qinglin snorted as he got on the car, feeling very uncomfortable. He sent people here with good intentions. It was normal that things didn't work out. Shui Tiancheng relied on him. He was really ignorant...
Yongqing, who was sitting opposite, saw a flash of gloom on Yao Qinglin's face. He sighed inwardly. Yao Qinglin and everyone else had their memories erased by Gao Xingjun's words, so Yao Qinglin and Shui Tiancheng had a misunderstanding.
The filth in the world is so strong that the human heart is easily contaminated by the filth, causing the three poisons of anger, ignorance, and anger.
A small misunderstanding caused resentment in Yao Qinglin's heart. This resentment is like a seed, it will continue to grow under the influence of causes and conditions, and I don't know what the final result will be.
Of course, most of this is also due to human nature. It's just that the filth in the world is strong, and hundreds of millions of sentient beings are full of resentment and tormenting each other, making this world so filthy.
Buddhists call the mortal world the sea of suffering in the world of mortals, which is precisely why it comes from this. Practicing in the mortal world is really like overcoming a tribulation.
However, the mortal world is a sea of suffering, and so is the world of cultivators. Even if you ascend to immortality, you will still be unable to escape from sorrow, love, and hate...
When Shui Tiancheng returned to the courtyard, he couldn't help but mutter to the old housekeeper beside him: "Why did Yao Qinglin suddenly become confused?"
The old housekeeper comforted Shui Tiancheng in turn: "Master, don't worry if things don't work out. Don't ruin your relationship with Master Yao."
The old man paused and then said: "Miss is so young, it doesn't matter if she doesn't practice Taoism, I can still watch her every day..."
Shui Tiancheng realized something was wrong this time. He was shocked and confused. He didn't know whether the old housekeeper and Yao Qinglin were suffering from some illness, or was he hallucinating?
The so-called Master Gao is just a figment of his hysteria?
Thinking of this, Shui Tiancheng quickened his pace and returned to the backyard, where he saw Master Gao Xian, dressed in white and snowy, talking to his daughter.
Shui Mingxia always talks little to outsiders, but somehow she chatted happily with Master Gao Xian, as if she had known her for a long time.
Shui Tiancheng was puzzled again. This Master Gao Xian was obviously here. Everyone had just seen with their own eyes that Master Gao Xian wanted to take Ming Xia as his disciple. How could they forget all this in the blink of an eye?
He suddenly thought of what Master Gao Xian had told them before, telling them not to tell anyone about this matter. Could it be that with such a sentence, others would forget everything that just happened? !
Yongzhen saw Shui Tiancheng's doubts, and she said softly to Shui Tiancheng: "There is a difference between immortals and mortals. Xingjun doesn't like others to disturb you. Except for you and Shui Mingxia, no one else in this family can remember Xingjun and me... "
To be honest, even though Yongzhen is a foundation-building cultivator, he has no idea how Gao Xian achieved this. Others can see them, remember their identities, and communicate with them normally, but they will immediately forget their existence as soon as they leave this backyard.
It can only be said that Xingjun has immeasurable magical powers and is not restricted in the mortal world.
Although Shui Tiancheng had some guesses, he was still shocked when he heard Yongzhen's explanation. He hesitated and said, "Wouldn't it be very inconvenient for other people if they don't remember the two immortal masters?"
“These are not important. I will take care of Xingjun's food, clothing, housing and transportation.”
Yongzhen told Shuitian very seriously: "I am just a follower of Lord Xing and cannot be called an immortal master. You can call Lord Xing a true Lord, just call me Taoist Master."
Shui Tiancheng hurriedly handed over his hands and said, "Thank you, Taoist Master, for your advice. If the True Lord needs anything, Taoist Master will just give you instructions."
Yongzhen smiled slightly but said nothing.
Xingjun has told him to keep everything simple in the mortal world. In order to avoid being infected by the filth of the mortal world, it is not advisable to use top-quality spiritual objects. Even so, Xingjun's various expenses for food, clothing, housing and transportation cannot be afforded by Shuitiancheng.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Shui family could not afford the cup of tea that Xingjun drank. There's just no need to tell Shui Tiancheng this.
Gao Xian ignored Shui Tiancheng behind him and asked Shui Mingxia softly: "My child, are you willing to become my teacher?"
Shui Mingxia hesitated for a moment, and looked at her father behind her for help. Even though she was young, she knew that becoming a disciple was a big deal and she couldn't agree to it casually. The few female warriors who taught her swordsmanship could only be regarded as teaching.
Shui Tiancheng kept listening with his ears pricked up. He nodded hurriedly to Shui Mingxia, signaling his daughter to agree quickly.
With her father's permission, Shui Mingxia said seriously: "I am willing."
“Good boy.”
Gao Xian touched Shui Mingxia's little head and said that the method should not be taught lightly. There must be a formal reason for teaching swordsmanship.
As for Shui Mingxia's identity, he actually made some guesses.
Bai Yujing is a tool spirit, so logically speaking, he should not have any relatives or descendants. What's more, this person is at least over 10,000 years old.
After more than 10,000 years of inheritance, any bloodline has long become extremely thin, and it is not worth caring about at all.
So, this little girl might be related to him. Bai Yujing wanted to take this opportunity to tease him and give him a favor.
Since Gao Xian started practicing Taoism, there are only a few people who have a close relationship with him. He naturally thought of Yun Qiushui.
It's just that more than two hundred years have passed, and Yun Qiushui's true spirit has been reincarnated several times, and the memory and spirituality of his previous life have long been erased. Even if this little girl is really Yun Qiushui, she has nothing to do with Yun Qiushui.
Of course, this little girl may be in the sky!
He has only lived for three hundred years. He can't guess how a weapon spirit who has lived for countless thousands of years would have fun!
Gao Xian didn't have the ability to identify the little girl's true nature. In fact, he had always been dubious about the reincarnation of the true spirit.
As far as the serious sect books he has read, they all say that the reincarnation of the true spirit is mysterious and unpredictable. The so-called reincarnation of most powerful people is actually the reincarnation of Yinshen or Yuanshen.
The reincarnation of Yin Shen or Yuan Shen is equivalent to a strong person seizing the fetus. Basically there will be no mystery in the womb. Even if you lose your memory temporarily, you will wake up naturally when you reach a certain age.
This is completely different from the reincarnation of the true spirit.
No matter who Shui Mingxia was in her previous life, she is Shui Mingxia in this life, and she has nothing to do with her in the previous life. Unless she can awaken Su Hui.
Gao Xian thought the little girl was pretty good, and her physical aptitudes were above average among mortals. It's not worth mentioning in the world of cultivators. His body is still at the first level of Qi training at the age of twenty-four. Even so, his cultivation aptitude is much better than that of the little girl.
The so-called cultivation qualification actually depends on the affinity between the person and the spiritual energy. Some cultivators with poor qualifications can also achieve Taoism and become gods.
Bai Yujing asked him to teach swordsmanship in the mortal world for ten years. It would not be too late to discuss any plans after these ten years.
Shui Tiancheng attaches great importance to his apprenticeship, especially after seeing Gao Xian's unfathomable magical powers, he is extremely in awe of Gao Xian.
He wanted to make a grand ceremony, but Gao Xian stopped him.
“Being a disciple is in my heart but not in my body. Just kowtow and there is no need to worry about anything else.” Gao Xian said.
Under the guidance of Yongzhen, Shui Mingxia kowtowed three times and bowed nine times. Gao Xian gave Shui Mingxia a long sword with a smile. The sword weighed seven kilograms and was three and a half feet long. It was named Yunshui.
This was also forged by Gao Xian himself. He was not very good at refining weapons, but it was very easy to refining such an ordinary sword. The sword itself is also very special. It is smelted from platinum extracted from Yunguang Jade Crystal and Tianshui. The most important thing is that you are not afraid of being polluted by filth, and you can still exert some power in the mortal world.
Shui Mingxia is very strong and can still hold the sword with both hands. She felt particularly fond of such a heavy sword, but she couldn't explain why.
Because Shui Mingxia is too young, Gao Xian cannot take her out, so he stays at Shui's house for the time being.
Gao Xian occupied this backyard and taught Shui Mingxia swordsmanship for two hours a day. During the rest of the time, Yongzhen taught Shui Mingxia how to read and write.
Gao Xian used a secret method to cut off mortals' memories of him and Yongzhen. Therefore, no one knew that Shui Mingxia had become a disciple of the Xuanming Sect's immortal master, and no one knew that the Shui family had two more immortal masters in charge.
More than a year passed. One night, Gao Xian was sitting in his room meditating. Take a breath here to see the filth in the world. Nine-nine percent of it is filth, and the remaining bit is spiritual energy.
When practitioners are in the mortal world, they try their best not to practice and rely on taking pills to survive. In this way, you can avoid being corroded by foul smell as much as possible.
Gao Xian has been in the mortal world for more than a year, but he feels that practicing here is quite beneficial to him. His cultivation was too strong and he entered the realm too quickly. Breathing and practicing in such a harsh environment would help refine his magic power.
Over the past year, his cultivation has not improved, but he has gained a deeper understanding of the Five Elements Kung Fu. At this moment, he suddenly felt something and quietly came to Shui Mingxia's window.
Through the window, Gao Xian could also see the light shining between Shui Mingxia's eyebrows, silently resonating with the Yun Shui Sword beside her, and there was a faint sword energy flowing back and forth.
Gao Xian was a little surprised and awakened his innate spirituality? If not, how could it be possible with Shui Mingxia's qualifications to generate a sense of anger and inspire the sword energy of Yunshui Sword!
“Is it really autumn water?”
Shui Mingxia suddenly sat up. She flicked the Yunshui sword beside her and jumped to the window barefoot with the sword fluttering.
Shui Mingxia sighed softly through the thick window paper: "If we meet again one day, we say goodbye to the passing of time...Brother Gao, where is my peach blossom wine?"
(It's February and I'm looking for a guaranteed monthly pass~)
