Xie Liang still looked like he was giving lectures in the palace, with an expressionless face, but when Yu Ci looked over, he actually lowered his head slightly:

"I'm here to express my gratitude tonight."

"Huh?"

Yu Ci seemed to be at a loss as she fell into the mist. I don’t know when I actually helped such a powerful person.

In the time it took these two sentences, the group of people had already arrived inside the house. Only then did Yu Ci realize that she had taken the guest to the wrong place due to her distraction. The room he just stayed in was not for entertaining guests, but a quiet room for taking a nap. There was only one table in the room, and everyone who came had to sit on the floor, let alone the table with messy objects.

Yu Zhou stroked his beard and smiled. Yu Ci put aside his questions and said apologetically: "The room is a bit chaotic..."

"No problem."

Yu Zhou's attitude was more casual. He waved his hand and walked directly over, kneeling down next to the table. He sat casually, but his position had no priority. Xie Liang followed him and sat down. Seeing this, Yu Ci felt more and more that he was not free and easy enough.

Bao Guang took the initiative to fetch tea and water. Yu Ci also relaxed and sat across the table from Jie Liang.

Open your mind and keep your doubts unanswered. As soon as Yu Ci sat down, he asked: "This disciple is stupid and doesn't know what the 'thank you' the Immortal Master said means..."

"It's about medicinal materials."

Old Taoist Yu Zhou, who was next to him, took the lead and said with a smile: "You don't know yet, but the medicinal materials I asked you to look for that day are exactly what Junior Brother is in urgent need of. He was very satisfied with the medicinal materials today and specifically asked to come to express his gratitude."

Yu Ci didn't expect that there would be such a scene in the middle. Just when he was surprised, he saw Xie Liang bowing slightly and saluting him. Even though he was a bold man, the serious attitude of Immortal Buxu made him feel at a loss for a while.

After gathering his composure, he returned the greeting: "I dare not, it would be an honor for my disciples to be able to contribute to the Immortal."

Of course these words are clichés and polite words. As he said this, he glanced over to Yu Zhou and found it even more strange to see that the old Taoist was just stroking his beard and smiling without any hint at all.

Unexpectedly, when Xie Liang heard this, he responded: "This has nothing to do with the Immortal Chief or the disciples. You were not a disciple of the sect at that time, but you helped me find the medicine without any consideration of reward. Naturally, I wanted to come to thank you, as a courtesy. ”

His tone still sounded serious, and he looked even more old-fashioned. However, Yu Ci had a great impression of this immortal leader. He did not use his power to overwhelm others, and was not ashamed to put himself in a position of superiority. He discussed matters as they happened. This was the style of the Immortal Family, which was heart-breaking.

After all, Yu Ci is good at observing faces. When he sees this, he already knows how to communicate with this person. After a few words of humility, he suddenly remembers the two words Xie Liang said before:

"At that time?"

He turned his eyes to Lao Dao again and saw Yu Zhou reaching out to hold down the box containing the fish and dragon on the table, and said with a smile:

"The second thing here is my suggestion: You, this fish dragon, are so good. If you exchange it for a mere 2,500 good deeds, I will feel heartbroken for you. Junior Brother Xie's cultivation is both Tong Duomen, and is good at medicine and the art of external elixirs, yellow and white. Today, I would like to ask him to see how to estimate a reasonable price for the fish and dragon, or to think of a long-term solution to avoid doing the stupid thing of killing the chicken to get the eggs. "

Yu Ci did not expect that Yu Zhou was still thinking about this matter, and felt helpless and moved at the same time.

The old Taoist indeed fell in love with him and took care of him in many aspects. Yu Ci could clearly feel his kindness. It's just that the two people's ideas are really not in sync. In Yu Ci's view, although fish and dragons are precious, they are not irreplaceable. What he cares more about is the qualification to enter the Lichen Sect to practice the art of immortality.

He believed that as long as he truly practiced the art of immortality, further improved his abilities, and followed the divine plan to obtain precious things like fish and dragons, it would only be a matter of time. There was no need to waste money at this time. Must compare.

In this regard, Lao Dao obviously did not think of going together with him.

Of course Yu Ci is not ignorant of praise. Old Taoist Yu Zhou has built bridges and paved the way for him. It would be foolish for him to hold back.

While his mind was spinning, he didn't show any emotion on his face. He first thanked Yu Zhou and Xie Liang, and then at the instruction of the old Taoist, he held the stone box in both hands and sent it to Xie Liang.

Xie Liang took it and did not open it in a hurry. After thinking about it, his eyes glanced at Yu Ci's face, which was as sharp as the one in the Xiande Palace. Yu Ci was slightly startled, then saw Xie Liang put the stone box back on the table.

"Senior Brother Yu, don't be busy for now. I would like to ask a few questions... is it convenient?"

I told Yu Ci later. Yu Ci wanted to see what Yu Zhou's attitude was, but for some reason, when Xie Liang's gaze fell on his face, his whole body became a little stiff, and there was an obvious disconnect between his consciousness and his body. It was originally a small reflexive movement to avert his gaze. , and it was actually frozen there.

Awesome! It doesn't look as powerful as Jin Huantai's extreme Yang method, but the power is completely controlled without anyone noticing. Yu Ci wondered, if the immortal leader in front of him wanted to kill him, would he not even have to move a finger?

Yu Ci didn't think Jie Liang would be detrimental to him, but the current completely passive situation was really unpleasant. He adjusted his breath slowly, keeping the breath in his chest steady, and responded in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Please tell me clearly from the immortal."

Xie Liang did not show any emotional changes:

"Today you exchanged the rare treasures of heaven and earth, fish and dragon, for the body of an outer disciple. What did you do for it?"

Yu Ci responded without hesitation: "For longevity."

Xie Liang looked directly at him and said: "As a rule, the disciples of the outer chamber can only obtain one innate Qi refining technique, which can at most make you condense into a Yin Shen. As for the longevity elixir, the hope is slim, let alone the above. The Bu Xu Technique and the secret method of overcoming tribulations, what do you use to seek immortality?"

Yu Ci frowned and responded: "The sect has not blocked the way for disciples from outside the chamber to advance. I saw that in the 'Tongde Hall', people can exchange good deeds for elixirs..."

Xie Liang interrupted him: "Now there is a superior elixir that does not require any good deeds. As long as you betray the sect..."

"Xie Xian Chang!"

Yu Ci also interrupted Xie Liang's words, not polite at all: "If you understand correctly, what I exchanged for the fish and dragon is the qualification to become a disciple of the outer chamber, not just the longevity technique. I exchanged the fish and dragon for This qualification means that after choosing a future path, you will naturally abide by the sect's rules on what you should and should not do after entering the sect.

"To say the least, the disciples exchanged fish and dragons for immortality, but this was within the scope of the sect's permission and even encouragement. Isn't Tongde Hall established for this reason? Why should the immortal be too demanding? ?"

Knowing that Xie Liang was probably trying him, Yu Ci was still annoyed. It doesn't matter after all, but if you use this method to check, do you think he is stupid?

"Very good."

There was still no expression change on Xie Liang's rigid face, but he bowed slightly, as if to apologize for his previous actions, and then said: "You understand this truth, but there are still people who don't understand it yet."

When he spoke, he was looking at Yu Zhou Laodao.

This effortless change of emphasis left Yu Ci confused, but Xie Liang did not mean to hide it and said directly:

"Senior Brother Yu, I have always disapproved of the transaction of good deeds in Tongde Hall. The disciple in front of me also understands that what Tongde Hall exchanges is an opportunity, not a physical object, but you don't understand. Over the years, you have asked The sect recommends many disciples, but they are all good and bad, which is enough to serve as a warning."

Yu Zhou’s gray and white eyebrows were knitted together, with a rather unhappy look on his face: “Tongde Hall has been established for three kalpas, and it has its own reasons. At the very least, if we don’t use this method, those who want immortality but cannot achieve it, Isn’t it the end of the road to advancement?”

The "tribulation" mentioned by the old Taoist is a unit of time. Each calamity is three thousand six hundred years, which originates from the great calamity of heaven and earth that affects all practitioners every three thousand six hundred years in the spiritual world, that is, the "four-nine calamities", which means one calamity and one reincarnation.

The history of things that can be measured in "kalpas" is quite ancient anyway.

Xie Liang still shook his head: "In search of the immortal road, opportunity comes first. The sect established Tongde Hall internally to give sect disciples an opportunity to communicate with each other, expand everyone's contact area, and give us more opportunities to trigger opportunities. ; Externally, it also gives people who are striving for immortality an opportunity to enter, but it is just an opportunity.

"The sect is so cautious in choosing its disciples. In addition to chance, they must have both understanding, talent, and virtue. As for the disciples from the outer sect that you selected through Tongde Hall, most of them thought wrong from the beginning. Most of them are confused by external things, and they have to spend money and money. They think that with good deeds, they can go up step by step, but they don't know that the good deeds themselves are worthless, and the resources obtained through good deeds are not the purpose of practice. One step is wrong, and every step is wrong. What a pity.

"They are trapped in it and cannot escape. It is because they have no insight and understanding, and they have extenuating circumstances. And if you, senior brother, accompany you in the trap and even mislead them from the beginning, how absurd is it? Just like you I highly recommend this disciple. The previous idea is very good, but the last statement may have been instilled by you.”

Yu Zhou just sneered: "I know you have strong opinions about Tongdetang, but the four branches of sect morality, academic principles, precepts, and empirical methods can all lead to Taoism. This has been verified by the ancestors. Tongdetang is The most important thing in the book of empirical evidence, if you want to deny it, tell your uncle."

Xie Liang pursed his lips, which was his most obvious expression today: "The Empirical Department takes the path of proving the Tao through force. I wish I could quantify everything, but in the end, when we face the disaster and break through, we still have to Back to the training of the heart. Just like you, senior brother, in order to help you break through the "Zi Xing Pass" over the years, the sect not only allowed you to learn all the secret elixirs, but also made an exception to teach you the "Flying Feather Hidden Form to Climb to the Sky" method. I give it to you, I just hope you will make more progress, but until now, you are still trapped in the cage of self-limitation, feeling sorry for yourself every day. Is this also a problem of resources? ”

The so-called Zhuxing Pass refers to the 300-year lifespan of Huandan monks. It is a very famous practice pass, and even Yu Ci has heard about it.

In fact, after listening to it for so long, although Yu Ci didn’t understand what the four disciplines of morality, theory, precepts, and practice actually meant, she felt more in agreement with Jie Liang’s statement. But he also felt that the Immortal Chief's speaking skills were really bad. Although he had obvious good intentions, every word he spoke was aimed at Yu Zhou's pain points. This was not persuasion, but a quarrel!

Sure enough, Yu Zhou's face turned ugly.
