Farewell to Qin Ziling, Zhou Shaobai was sad and sad. The giant eagle seemed to have noticed his mood. He did not take him to play in the sea of ​​clouds, and sent him to Yuping Peak.

It was still late at night. Zhou Shaobai said thanked Giu Diao and returned to the wing room. He saw that his senior brothers were still sleeping on the bunk bed, and the snoring sounds were coming one after another, disturbing people's minds and unable to sleep at all.

He was very confused and simply left the wing room. He wandered outside alone, thinking about the poem Qin Ziling wrote on the handkerchief, while walking slowly. Before he knew it, the east was shining brightly and the mountains were dyed red. Then he woke up and hurried to the bamboo forest to wait for Master Hou.

Not long after, a Taoist priest with wide robe and big sleeves walked through the bluestone slab in the bamboo forest. It was Chengyu.

Seeing that the master arrived, Zhou Shaobai went over to invite An.

Chengyu nodded and came to the stone platform with Zhou Shaobai. He stroked his beard: "Shaobai, the tenth day of next month will be the Xiyun Nine Veins Discussion this year."

Zhou Shaobai was stunned and nodded: "Yes, Master, I didn't expect time to pass so quickly."

Chengyu glanced at him and said slowly: "This year, you can go with your teacher."

Zhou Shaobai's face froze: "Ah?"

It turned out that about five hundred years ago, there were eight outstanding disciples from Xiyun Sect who felt that the road to cultivation was extremely difficult. The main peak Lingyun Peak was too popular and there were many disciples, which was not conducive to meditation and practice. So, they chose eight peaks from the thirty-six peaks, built Taoist temples and pavilions respectively, and then explored the way of cultivation according to their own understanding. These eight disciples were the ancestors of the eight veins, and together with the original Lingyun Peak lineage, Xiyun Mountain formed a situation of nine veins.

The Nine Era has continued to this day. Over the long five hundred years, each has gradually formed some special cultivation methods, but they will never leave their sects. The other eight Era still respects Lingyun Peak as the authentic Xiyun Sect, and regards the head of the sect as the leader, and always obeys the orders of the head. Moreover, the head of the Xiyun Sect is not limited to the inheritance of the disciples of the Lingyun Peak lineage. Any disciple of the Nine Era, who has both talent and virtue, has profound cultivation, and can convince the public, has the qualifications to inherit the position of the head. For example, the current head of the Lingyun Peak lineage does not come from the Lingyun Peak lineage, but from Qinglian Peak.

Later, in order to exchange experience in practicing, the head of the Nine Meridians decided to choose one peak among the nine peaks on the tenth day of the seventh month of the four years. On that day, the Nine Meridians gathered together to discuss experience in practicing Taoism so that Xiyunmen can continue to carry forward the Xiyunmen.

To this day, this custom is slowly evolving. Nowadays, the highlight of the Nine Meridians’ discussion of Taoism is no longer a discussion of Taoism, but each of the Nine Meridians selects an outstanding disciple and conducts competitions on the same day to demonstrate that the talents of this lineage emerge and hard-working.

All Xiyun disciples were proud to follow the master to participate in the Nine Meridians Discussion on Taoism, while all the masters were proud to be the disciples in the end.

These deeds are all known in Xiyun Mountain. Last time, when the Nine Meridians were discussed, Zhou Shaobai begged his senior brother to take him to watch the battle and open his eyes. Naturally, he was extremely familiar with this. But now, his master actually asked him, a lay disciple who had only been practicing the basic Taoist sect for eight years, to compete with the leaders of other cultures...

He waved his hand urgently: "Master, this is absolutely not allowed! The disciple is naughty and has a shallow cultivation. How can he represent the Yuping Peak lineage to participate in the Nine-Meridian Theory? Isn't this shame for the master? Please choose someone else!"

Chengyu shook his head: "Others? Your senior brother is still meditating, so he will never take him there."

Zhou Shaobai scratched his head: "Although the senior brother can't go, there are other senior brothers. They are just one of them, which is more than ten times better than the disciples. Besides, the disciples also have self-knowledge. With the disciples' current cultivation level, they really don't dare to take on such a heavy responsibility."

After hearing this, Chengyu stopped talking. He took out the whisk and waved it casually. A strong wind suddenly emerged from the bamboo forest, causing the bamboo leaves to scatter and sway, and it took him a long time to calm down.

Zhou Shaobai didn't know what Chengyu's move was intended, so he quickly bowed and said carefully: "But the disciple is unworthy, which makes the master angry?"

"No, no, I just waved the whisk for my master. Shaobai, what have you seen?" Chengyu asked.

Zhou Shaobai thought about it and there seemed to be nothing unusual when the wind just now. He didn't know how to answer for a while, so he had to say, "When I go back to Master, I only saw bamboo leaves flying and green bamboos swaying. Apart from that, I didn't find it."

"Then tell me, how do bamboo leaves fly, and how does green bamboo sway?" Chengyu asked slowly, his eyes half closed.

Zhou Shaobai didn't know what he was selling in the gourd, so he simply said: "When I go back to Master, my disciples only saw some bamboo leaves flying high, some flying low, some swaying strongly, and some not so powerful."

Chengyu nodded: "It's true. Shaobai, you should know that people's talents are not the same. Just like the bamboo leaves just now, the same gust of wind, some fly high, and some fly low. The leaves are still like this, let alone talent? A talented person can achieve twice the result with half the effort in cultivation, and it is very easy to achieve success, just like a bamboo leaves that fly high easily; while a talented person is just as a bamboo leaves that are not flying high, even if the wind is strong, it is still under other bamboo leaves. Shaobai, you are the bamboo leaves that fly high."

Zhou Shaobai immediately understood that Chengyu was borrowing the difference in the weight of bamboo leaves, and saying that his talents were different from those of other senior brothers.

"Let's talk about this green bamboo, Shaobai, tell me, why is the swaying amplitude of the green bamboo different?"

Zhou Shaobai thought about it and suddenly realized in his heart: "Return to Master, the shaking range of green bamboos of the same height and thickness is different because of the different root systems. The deeper the roots of the green bamboo are, the wider the growth, and the smaller the shaking range will naturally be. Master wants to use the shaking bamboo to tell his disciples that they must lay a solid foundation so that they can remain unmoved."

Chengyu nodded: "That's true. Shaobai, you have been practicing the introductory basic method for eight years. In fact, the teacher has been observing you. Not only do you have no complaints, but you are also very hardworking. You have practiced this basic method to perfection. Among the disciples of the master, no one can have your cultivation level. Just practicing the basic method can be like this. This is extremely difficult to do. However, you only have the ability to use it but don't know how to use it, and you can't even exert one percent of the power, so you mistakenly think that you are inferior to your senior brothers."

Zhou Shaobai was half-believing and half-doubted: "Master said that the disciples are better than all senior brothers? This is unlikely. The disciples and senior brothers have never been the opponent."

"I just said that if you have the ability but don't know how to use it, you are naturally not their opponent. However, you can achieve quick success in the sect of tricks, but your skill cultivation cannot be achieved quickly. There is still one month left before the Nine Meridians Theory. In this month, with your talent, you will continue to accumulate your cultivation and supplement your guidance from the master. In less than a month, you will be the best disciples under the master."

Chengyu smiled with his beard and seemed to have seen Zhou Shaobai defeating all the heroes in the Nine Meridians Discussion and taking the lead.

After hearing Chengyu's words, Zhou Shaobai couldn't help but feel excited: Master will definitely not lie to me. It turns out that I, Zhou Shaobai, also has the opportunity to participate in the Nine Meridians Discussion!

At this moment, Chengyu suddenly looked dark: "However, if you think randomly like you did yesterday and get into a devil for a few more times, not only will you not be able to make a rapid progress in a month, but you are afraid that you will be deeply involved in the devil and will not be able to save you as a master."

Zhou Shaobai was shocked: This is not true. After finally having the chance to turn around, how could he destroy everything because of being possessed by being possessed?

He hurriedly bowed: "Master, my disciple is stupid. Please give me advice. How can I truly focus on my mind and seek the Tao in my practice?"

Chengyu snorted and said in a deep voice: "The answer is still among these green bamboos. Please understand it yourself! If you understand it, let me tell you again!"

After saying that, Cheng Yu sat cross-legged on the stone platform, began to breathe and regulate his breathing, closed his eyes tightly, and stopped talking.
