Chapter 306 Disciple
Zuo Chen let out a long sigh and stopped writing with his brush.

He stretched and then looked at the thick booklet in his hand with satisfaction.

The book in front of you is a set of cultivation techniques written by Zuo Chen specifically for ordinary people.

This set of skills is not complicated, it can even be said to be too simple, even many of the cultivation methods of the Daliang sects are not as simple as it.

But this set of exercises has one advantage.

That means not eating talent.

Even the dullest and most unintelligent person, as long as a teacher tells him the basic techniques orally, and he practices day and night, after spending more than ten years, he can at least improve his Taoism to the acquired level. If he is willing to work hard and read the middle and late volumes, and spend more than thirty years practicing hard, he can simply improve his Taoism to the innate level.

If this person is reckless and stubborn, and spends all his time practicing this technique except for eating, sleeping and working, it will take more than a hundred years for him to reach the threshold of Qi Refining.

In other words, this is indeed a path for an unskilled person to ascend to heaven.

But if this person can really do it for more than a hundred years without changing his mind, in a sense, he does have the corresponding talent.

Zuo Chen also made some adjustments to the basic skills of this technique, so that in the first ten years of practice, one can only strengthen the body and regulate the emotions, and only after ten years will one truly gain the Tao.

This is to prevent some vicious bandits from taking this skill to strengthen themselves and become a scourge to the people.

After writing all this, Zuo Chen realized that Caiyi was bending over beside him, looking at the document he had written. Looking at the food in her hands, Zuo Chen couldn’t help but laugh.

“Didn’t I tell you before? Just put it down there. I’ll go down and eat it when the time comes.”

“Hey, how can this be possible?” Caiyi put the food on the table embarrassedly: “If I don’t bring it to you, Taoist priest, you will definitely forget to eat.”

“…I could have been fasting a long time ago, so it’s okay to miss one or two meals.”

“That won’t work either.” Caiyi shook her head. “The chefs at Yaochi Tower don’t know whether you will come down, so they cook every meal for you. If you don’t come down, the meal will get cold and they will throw it away and cook it again. This is a waste of food.”

Caiyi said this and looked at Zuo Chen very seriously:
“Master, it’s not good to waste food.”

Zuo Chen was also obviously stunned when he heard this, and then nodded seriously:
“Yes, wasting food is not good.”

Zuo Chen began to eat the food on the plate seriously.

Caiyi didn’t want to go anywhere else, so she pulled out a chair from the side, leaned on it, rocked back and forth, and enjoyed the pleasant afternoon sunshine.

After finishing the food, Zuo Chen looked at Cai Yi:

“Caiyi.”

“Ok?”

“Do you think anyone would practice this technique?”

Zuo Chen gathered the skills together and briefly explained the effects of this set of skills from Caiyi’s perspective.

But after hearing this, Caiyi pondered for a while, then shook her head:

“It seems to take too much time and will interfere with farming. Taoist priest, have you ever been to the farmland?”

“No.”

“It’s tiring to work in the fields in the early spring. I have to loosen the soil and plant seeds. It’s tiring in the summer and autumn. I can have some free time in the winter, but it’s too cold. I want to hide in my bed. How can I come out to practice this?”

Caiyi said it very directly.

Zuo Chen nodded and thought for a few seconds:

“That’s it.”

It seems that in addition to the exercises, monks’ wheat is also indispensable.

In addition to this, there is Daliang’s promotion of education.

If publicity is not adequate, farmers would naturally prefer to let their sons learn a craft from craftsmen rather than sending them to private schools.

There is a long way to go.

Seeing that Zuo Chen didn’t say anything, Caiyi thought that Zuo Chen was unhappy, so she added:

“Well, but your booklet contains the Taoist magic of ascending to immortality. If you tell the villagers, I think they will learn it.”

Zuo Chen burst out laughing.

He shook his head slightly, lifted the corner of his clothes, stood up, and walked in front of Caiyi.

Caiyi didn’t know what Zuo Chen wanted to do, so she subconsciously shrank her neck, afraid that Zuo Chen would scold her.

“Caiyi.”

“Yes, Taoist priest.”

“How are you doing with the scriptures I taught you?”

“I’ve memorized it all.” Caiyi puffed out her chest, like a student in a private school having his homework checked by his teacher.

“Okay then.” Zuo Chen’s tone changed and became serious:
“I am going to teach you the Taoist inheritance, which is the real content of the Taoist scriptures. Are you willing?”

Caiyi was obviously stunned after hearing Zuo Chen’s words.

She thought for a moment about what Zuo Chen meant by this, and then a hint of shock appeared in her eyes.

“I… of course I am willing.”

“What should I call you then?”

Caiyi adjusted her expression and moved the chair next to her away, leaving a large space.

Then he slowly knelt down towards Zuo Chen.

Kowtow:

“Disciple Caiyi, I pay my respects to Master.”

Zuo Chen smiled and nodded, and with a snap of his fingers, Caiyi immediately felt like someone was supporting her.

Caiyi stood up and looked at Zuo Chenshi again. It was unclear whether her expression was one of embarrassment or excitement.

“Don’t be so nervous,” Zuo Chen said with a smile, “You and I can just maintain the same attitude towards each other as before, but from today on, you are no longer my nominal disciple, but my real disciple.”

She patted her face with both hands, and the sunlight outside the window fell on Caiyi’s face, and she finally smiled widely. …

Zuo Chen handed the newly compiled books to Yan Wangsheng, and told him how to open a “private school in a library” and how to encourage farmers to send their children to private schools for basic education.

Yan Wangsheng was stunned. After listening to Zuo Chen’s explanation, he couldn’t help but widen his eyes and pointed at the book in his hand:

“This booklet? The art of becoming an immortal?!”

“It’s very difficult. Why not give me the booklet for you and Guan Jinping?”

“No, no,” Yan Wangsheng stared at the book in his hand, “I was just thinking, is it really a good idea to pass on this immortal method to mortals?”

Yan Wangsheng couldn’t imagine the scene where the entire Daliang was filled with gods.

“It is harder to become an immortal than to ascend to heaven.” Zuo Chen smiled and said, “But if I block all the ways to become immortals, the wonder of immortality would have disappeared completely. It is better to formulate more policies and control it well. In this way, if more people with noble character become immortals, this world will naturally become better and better.”

Yan Wangsheng held the book tightly in his arms, feeling extremely pressured.

“I will keep in mind what you said, Taoist priest. I will also talk to His Majesty the Emperor about opening schools in various places. I think His Majesty the Emperor will support it.”

Yan Wangsheng said, after he finished speaking, he thought for a few seconds and asked again:
“Master, when will you recruit followers? This matter is of great importance, I have to make some preparations in advance.”

“Maybe half a month later.” Zuo Chen calculated the time: “After teaching them the cultivation method, I have to set out to Daliang to find a way to ascend to the Heavenly Palace.”

“Half a month…” Yan Wangsheng nodded, “I’ll go and prepare now.”

“Don’t make too much noise.”

Zuo Chen gave a warning.

Yan Wangsheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead when he heard this.

Don’t make too much noise?

Taoist priest, do you know how big a deal it is for you to accept disciples and teach them?
Now, those remaining people with some respectability in Kyoto will try their best to have their children come up to you to see.

Yan Wangsheng could only smile and nod:

“I try my best.”

Yan Wangsheng left soon, and Zuo Chen started thinking about what to do with his free time in the next half month.

When he had some free time, he really didn’t know what to do.

Zuo Chen thought for a few seconds and felt that he should study the Thousand Mile Sun Traveling Talisman and the Thousand Mile Communication Incense.

If these two prices can be lowered, efficiency will be improved and it will also be convenient for people.

As he was about to take action, Zuo Chen suddenly thought of Liu Quande and the others.

I don’t know how Liu Quande’s research on the underground gate is going.

……

“Third test.”

One of Liu Quande’s disciples walked to the stone gate with a square box. He put the box down and quickly dodged. When Liu Quande saw him coming back, he stretched out his hand and pointed forward.

The box that had just been placed on the ground emitted a faint red light, and the stone door also began to tremble slightly.

“Boom…”

Rubble fell, dust flew everywhere, and the stone door shook for more than ten times, but ultimately could not be opened.

Liu Quande patted his head: “It’s still a little short.”

Hu Wen immediately moved in front of the hot square, observed it for a few seconds, and then quickly recorded it.

The opening is in full swing.

After verifying the calculations, Liu Quande finally entered the actual trial stage. He made a rough cube box and placed it under the stone door, hoping to open the door through resonance.

Tried three times so far.

All failed.

After recording, Hu Wencai returned to the group of staff to share the information.

After working for another two or three incense sticks, Liu Quande’s disciples were ready to pack up the box and prepare to open the door for the fourth time.

“Hu Wen.”

Liu Quande walked up to Hu Wen, and Hu Wen immediately stood up and saluted him.

“Liu Xian, what’s the matter?”

“Master Zuo is going to recruit disciples in Kyoto to teach the secrets of Taoism. I have to guard Youzhou Pass and cannot go, but I think you and Hu Ni should go.”

“Ah?” Hu Wen widened his eyes.

He was filled with surprise. He really didn’t expect that the Taoist priest would suddenly want to teach him Taoism. But immediately, he was in hesitation.

“But the door is about to open…”

“Which is more important, this sect or the Taoist priest?” Liu Quande patted Hu Wen’s back unhappily. “Pack your things as soon as possible and take Hu Ni to Kyoto. If you take the sea route, you will arrive in about a week, just in time for the Taoist priest to receive his disciples.”

Hu Wen was silent for a few seconds:

“I have a lot of important information in my hands. If I leave, it will be difficult for others to take over. What’s more, the things behind this door may also be important in fighting against the sea of ​​suffering. I can’t leave.”

Seeing that the boy was stubborn, Liu Quande sighed and was about to persuade him again.

suddenly,

Liu Quande heard the sound of the stone door shaking.

His eyes suddenly widened, and his gaze passed Hu Wen and fell on the stone gate behind him.

The third time I opened the door just now was effective.

The blocked stone gate,

opened!
