Black Night Filled the Sky
Chapter 17 Senior Brother, I Succeeded! [New Book Seeking Collection]
Two events shook the entire Xianxia world.
The first was that during the Da Luo Holy Land's ceremony for conferring Lu Changsheng as Senior Brother, he spoke the true words of a sage, causing the statue of the Literary Sage to resonate, celestial phenomena to descend, and the Wenqu Star (Literary Star) to tremble nine times. He became the Contemporary Literary Sage and bestowed a Dharma upon Li Zheng, transforming Li Zheng and making him a great Confucian scholar of the world.
This matter was like a boulder falling into a calm lake, causing a huge wave, and aroused heated discussion throughout the entire Xianxia world.
Some said that with Lu Changsheng, the Da Luo Holy Land would lead the way for ten thousand years.
Some said that with Lu Changsheng, the righteous path could prosper for ten thousand years, for he was the Child of Heaven and Earth.
The other matter also attracted the attention of many people.
Xuanxin, the Dharma Master of the Western Desert's Small Leiyin Temple, reputed to be the reincarnation of the Buddha, wanted to promote Buddhism and debate the Dharma with the world's Daoist sects. In just one day, Dharma Master Xuanxin visited the three major holy lands of Zhongzhou and won complete victories, causing a sensation in Zhongzhou.
These two events were currently the biggest in the Xianxia world, and everyone was in a state of excited anticipation.
Because everyone knew that since Dharma Master Xuanxin had come to Zhongzhou, he would definitely go to the Da Luo Holy Land, and coincidentally, the Da Luo Holy Land had produced a Human Literary Sage.
A battle between dragons and tigers would be extremely exciting.
One was a Contemporary Literary Sage, also a banished immortal of the Daoist sect.
The other was a Contemporary Holy Monk, also the reincarnation of the Buddha.
This Dharma debate, even before it had begun, already had enough hype.
Because this Dharma debate was not just a simple debate, but a battle between Daoism and Buddhism.
It was a matter of great importance, and naturally attracted the attention of the world.
For this reason, the holy lands and famous sects of the world had already set off for Da Luo, waiting for this battle between dragons and tigers.
And at this moment.
Da Luo Holy Land.
Da Luo Main Peak.
This was Lu Changsheng's new Daoist training ground.
Surrounded by the Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams, with purple Qi coming from the east, and countless celestial cranes flying around, it was like a fairyland.
He had already been conferred as Senior Brother.
Lu Changsheng's Daoist training ground should also be changed. Red Peak was only a temporary residence. If the dignified Da Luo Senior Brother still lived in an ordinary mountain peak, people would laugh at him.
Outside the main hall, twenty or thirty disciples were standing quietly at the door, waiting for Lu Changsheng.
These people were all second-generation disciples of the Da Luo Holy Land, sons of the heads of the Yujian Hall, sons of the heads of the Dan Medicine Hall, sons of the heads of the Moral Hall, or granddaughters of some Supreme Elders.
In short, these people had great backgrounds in the Holy Land.
Of course, no matter how great their backgrounds were, they could not compare to Lu Changsheng.
Creak!
The door of the main hall was slowly opened.
At this moment, everyone raised their heads and looked at the main hall.
A ray of slanting sunlight fell.
In the main hall, Lu Changsheng looked a little lazy, as if he had just woken up.
He glanced at the second-generation disciples outside the main hall.
Lu Changsheng could not help but sigh slowly.
He felt a little uncomfortable.
He was also a little curious about what the fathers of these people would think if they knew that he was only at the Qi training stage.
"We pay our respects to Senior Brother."
As Liu Qingfeng's voice rang out, the other disciples also shouted and paid their respects to Senior Brother.
The etiquette was very well done.
"You may rise."
Lu Changsheng spoke and walked out of the main hall, then carefully looked at these people.
A total of twenty-one people, seven women and fourteen men.
After thinking about it, Lu Changsheng said, "Since all of you have been sent here by your Shishu (martial uncle) and Shibo (martial uncle) to practice Daoism with me, then there are some things that Senior Brother must say first."
"Cultivation cannot be rushed. Haste makes waste. Therefore, Senior Brother will not teach you cultivation according to traditional methods, but will change to another method. If you cannot accept it, you can withdraw automatically. If you can accept it, then listen to my arrangements."
Lu Changsheng knew that these people were all dragons and phoenixes among men, and their intention to come to the main peak was also to cultivate and attain the Dao, and to be infected with the so-called immortal Qi.
But Lu Changsheng really didn't know how to teach people to cultivate immortality.
In three years, Lu Changsheng knew that he had no other skills except for being handsome.
So he could only rely on his mouth to fool them.
If they believed it, that would be best.
If they didn't believe it, that would also be good, he could just send them away and be at peace.
"We will respectfully abide by Senior Brother's decree."
Upon hearing that Lu Changsheng was changing the cultivation method, these disciples were overjoyed.
Cultivation was really boring and tedious on weekdays, so it would be good to change the method.
"Since that's the case, then Senior Brother will make arrangements."
Lu Changsheng nodded with satisfaction.
He looked at the first disciple and asked slowly.
"This Shidi (junior brother), how many years have you been cultivating? What is your cultivation level? What are you good at? Who is your father? How many acres of fertile land and wooden houses do you have?"
Lu Changsheng asked the first disciple in a gentle tone.
"Reporting to Senior Brother, Shidi (junior brother) Wang Ye, has been cultivating for twelve years and has already completed the Foundation Establishment stage. I am ashamed to say so. My father, Wang Zhong, is the head of the Records Hall of the Da Luo Holy Land. He is good at swordsmanship. As for how many acres of fertile land and wooden houses... I don't know."
Wang Ye answered seriously, but he didn't know how much fertile land and wooden houses he had.
"Alright, then you will go to Mount Qiong every day to chop one hundred catties of firewood. You must walk there and back, and you are not allowed to use any Daoist techniques in the middle. If you persist in this way until you can chop five hundred catties of dry firewood and return in one day, then Senior Brother will teach you Daoist techniques."
Lu Changsheng spoke and set a small goal for the other party.
"Huh? Senior Brother, I said that I am good at swordsmanship, but you want me to chop firewood? Isn't that inappropriate?"
Wang Ye was dumbfounded this time.
Isn't chopping firewood something that servants do? Why is it his turn to do it?
"If you are unwilling, you can go back."
Lu Changsheng was very calm, but he revealed a profound and unpredictable aura.
In an instant, Wang Ye chickened out and laughed dryly: "No, no, how could Shidi (junior brother) be unwilling? I was just surprised for a moment."
Although he was unwilling in his heart, Lu Changsheng was now famous all over the world, a Human Literary Sage with unfathomable cultivation, and it was very likely that he had already comprehended the realm of immortals, so how could he deny it.
"Next!"
Lu Changsheng said directly.
"Reporting to Senior Brother, Shidi (junior brother) Zhang He, has been cultivating for fourteen years and is already in the early stage of the Core Formation stage. My father, Zhang Ning, is the head of the Criminal Law Hall of the Da Luo Holy Land. He is good at tracking and patrolling. There are no fertile land or wooden houses at home."
Zhang He said so.
"Well, you will wait at the mountainside every day from Yin time (3-5 AM). Anyone who comes to visit must record their detailed information. When nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine visitors have come, I will teach you Daoist techniques. Remember, you must not publicize it, and you cannot call friends. Everything must be natural."
Lu Changsheng explained another task.
"Huh? Senior Brother, are you asking me to guard the door?"
Zhang He looked at Lu Changsheng a little aggrieved.
He was here to learn Daoist techniques, so how did he become a doorman?
"You can choose not to learn."
Lu Changsheng answered with four words, and the latter immediately shut up.
"You, sweep all the leaves outside the main hall every day, and you are not allowed to use magic power. Inside and out, until there is no leaf outside the main hall before sunset, then I will teach you Daoist techniques."
"You, you can only use a bucket of water every day to wipe the inside and outside of the main hall clean. There must be no dust in the main hall. When will you finish wiping and the water is still clear, then I will teach you Daoist techniques."
"You, go to the town outside the Da Luo Holy Land every day and do a good deed. You must not force it, you must not leave your name, and you must not use any relationships or magic power. When will you be discovered, then I will teach you Daoist techniques."
"You, go into the world of handyman disciples incognito, and you must not rely on any power, nor can you rely on magic power. When will you be promoted to inner disciple, then I will teach you Daoist techniques."
"You, ring the ancient bell once every morning, noon, and evening. When will the bell ring by itself, then I will teach you Daoist techniques!"
Lu Changsheng gave everyone many tasks in a row.
Every thing was very strange, and it seemed simple, but it was very difficult.
For example, without using magic power, one person would sweep the leaves of the main hall clean, and it must be done before sunset. This was simply impossible.
Also, using a bucket of water to wipe the inside and outside of the main hall clean, and there must not be a trace of dust in the main hall, and the water in the bucket must be clear and clean, which was simply impossible to complete.
The disciples were puzzled, but no one asked more questions.
Because asking was denial, and denial was going home.
Before coming, the elders had already explained very clearly that if they were expelled from the main peak by Lu Changsheng, they would not have to come back.
After all, the opportunity was rare.
And at this moment.
Suddenly.
A voice rang from the foot of the mountain.
"Senior Brother, I have succeeded in refining it."
Hearing the sound, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but be stunned.
