The master leads you in. Cultivation is personal.
The latter is about self-struggle, and the former is about following the right person and stepping into the door.
There are many talented people in the world who have wasted their lives because they have no one to guide them.
"《Array Dao Primer》" is similar to this, the content is not profound, but Zhou Yi doesn't even understand the prohibitions and inscriptions, so he went directly to study Illusory Formation, Spirit Gathering Formation, and Lesser Five Elements Formation.
The process was indeed a bit difficult. I read Zhou Yi for half a night and took a lot of notes, but not much progress was made.
At this rate, a thorough study will take at least ten years.
"Well, not bad!"
Zhou Yi is not afraid of wasting time, and is not anxious to study thoroughly. There is something to do in a long life, so it does not seem empty and boring.
"Now fellow practitioners of Jing, Qi, and Shen are progressing slowly but with a solid foundation. In the future, they will learn all the skills such as talisman formation, alchemy, and weapon refining, and spend thousands of years to become an all-powerful immortal!"
Zhou Yi put away Jade Slip. As for the third part of the travel notes, I have read it many times.
Daoist Lingyun and Wei Chang had similar experiences. They were lucky enough to get a volume of practice skills and happened to have wood spirit roots, so they devoted themselves to practice in Daoist temples.
After reaching the third level of Qi Refining, Mana could not grow any further.
Can Lingyun learn from Zhou Yi and rely on time to harden his time? He began to travel around in search of immortals, placing his hope in the legendary blessed land of Lingshan.
"Probably because the spiritual energy in the mortal world is thin, it is difficult to reach beyond the third level of Qi refining."
Zhou Yi had a guess in his mind. After breaking through the second level of Qi Refining, Mana's growth had slowed down a lot.
Lingyun spent decades traveling all over Fengyang, including Dayong in the north and the Great Li Dynasty Three Kingdoms in the south, but ultimately failed to find the legendary fairyland.
During this period, I met several Rogue Cultivator. "《Array Dao Primer》" was acquired from a mangy monk in Dayong. The monks traveled together in Dayong for more than ten years, leaving behind many folk legends.
Lingyun lamented at the end of his travelogue that although he had not been admitted to Immortal Gate in his life, it was not necessarily a bad thing.
I have two or three Daoist friends and I have been playing in the human world for a hundred and forty years. How lucky I am!
"When Lingyun traveled to Fengyang, he explored several strange and dangerous places. Brocade Guard has reported them before. Now it seems that they are not where the monks are."
"However, it is not without any discovery. Lingyun suspects that the Eight Great Jiangnan Aristocratic Clan can be passed down for thousands of years and is most likely related to the monks. Unfortunately, it was too late to discover it. Lingyun's life is not long and he has no intention to verify it."
"This matter can be done by Yuan Shun, and Brocade Guard will be sent to monitor it carefully."
Zhou Yi is not afraid of the Aristocratic Clan. Li Wu was able to suppress them back then, which means that they are not really Path of Immortality's, and they are probably related by blood.
Besides, it is Brocade Guard's job to monitor Aristocratic Clan.
Before, it was to monitor whether they had rebelled, but now they were changing the direction and checking whether there were any strange people or strangers.
There are many things or people in the world that really don't need to be talked about.
Early the next morning.
Zhou Yi came to Heavenly Prison and saw all the jailers standing at the door.
They stood upright and lined up neatly, like troops waiting for review.
Zhou Yi asked in confusion, "Old Lei, what's going on?"
Old Lei is a descendant of Lei Siyue. He served as a jailer for Heavenly Prison for thirty years, and was promoted to a poor police officer a few years ago.
"Old Zhou, this is what Captain Yang requested. You must wait for him to check it before you can go to the prison for duty. You have been away from me these days and have lost your temper several times. I said I would make you look good when you come back!"
"Who is Captain Yang? Didn't Lao Lu say he would stay for half a year?"
Zhou Yi looked puzzled. Before leaving Beijing, he even had wine with Captain Lu and heard him say that his successor's surname was Luo.
"Captain Lu is suspected of taking bribes and corruption, and sold his position as a school captain to the Luo family. He was exiled a few days ago."
Old Lei replied, "Captain Yang is not simple. It is said that he is a branch of the Yang family among the eight major Aristocratic Clans in Jiangnan, and is related to Minister Yang from the Ministry of War."
"It's a pity that I couldn't give Lao Lu a ride. Captain Yang does things like this..."
Zhou Yi felt quite sympathetic. Of course, Captain Lu was not a good person, and the charges must be found with solid evidence. After all, Heavenly Prison's officials, up and down, could find out all the charges.
Captain Lu worked hard at Heavenly Prison all his life without making any big mistakes, and retired safely in just half a year.
Just because Captain Yang was eager to take office, he relied on Lineage's power to exile him. Not only did he break the rules of officialdom, but his methods were also too cruel.
At this time.
A man in brocade clothes came over, holding a knife on his waist, striding like a star, his neck slightly raised, his eyebrows lowered, always looking down at people with contempt.
His eyes swept across the jailer Heavenly Prison, and finally landed on Zhou Yi.
"Are you Mr. Zhou?"
"I've met the captain."
Zhou Yi bowed and saluted. "How dare you claim to be a master? My colleagues are just joking with each other. If you don't like it, you will be Xiao Zhou from now on."
"Huh?"
Captain Yang's eyes were slightly focused, and he looked at Zhou Yi's eyes slightly.
"It's good to know! You have been absent from work for half a month without any reason. According to the law, you should be kicked out Heavenly Prison. I think you have made great contributions in the past, so I will fine you one year's salary!"
"Thank you for your generosity, my lord."
Zhou Yi was smiling and didn't care about the fine. Anyway, his main income was not in Heavenly Prison.
Captain Yang was surprised at Zhou Yi's ability to bend and stretch. I thought that capable people would have a big temper, but then they established their authority from the ground up.
Then they lectured for a while, to the general idea that Heavenly Prison was prohibited from accepting money from prisoners in the future. If the jailer dared to collect money from prisoners privately, he would be investigated strictly.
"I have repeatedly emphasized this matter, but there were still people who dared to commit it yesterday!"
Captain Yang said, "The officer Bai San'er who was on duty last night collected the money from the prisoners of Jiajiu Prison. This morning he has sent it to the prison cell of Jingya, with a salary of 100 yuan and three years of imprisonment!"
Wow!
All the jailers were in an uproar. They were subordinates in the prison. How could they not know the horror of "fighting a hundred people"?
If you continue to fight with heavy tactics, the person will be crippled even if you don't die.
Captain Yang said coldly, "Please be careful. No matter what happened before, I must abide by this rule now!"
After Captain Yang left, all the jailers started talking about it.
However, Captain Yang has such a deep background that even Warden Wu dare not show up. What can a group of low-level subordinates do?
One of the jailers said angrily, "Master Zhou, if Yang deliberately stabs you, can you bear it?"
Zhou Yi smiled and shook his head, "What else can I do if I can't bear it? He is a son of the Aristocratic Clan, we can't afford to offend him!"
Old Lei asked doubtfully, "Captain Yang is not only annoying us by doing this, are you not afraid of the prisoners in the prison making trouble?"
"When Captain Yang comes to Heavenly Prison, it's probably gold-plated, and he will be promoted if he improves his performance. It doesn't matter what the prisoner thinks. Besides, the prisoner is the prisoner, how can he rebel?"
Zhou Yi advised, "Just bear with it for now and live a hard life for a few years!"
When all the jailers heard this, even Mr. Zhou, who was practicing martial arts, was intimidated. They felt that they had no backbone and had no choice but to abide by the Captain Yang rules.
afterwards.
Captain Yang listened to the report from his confidant and learned about all the jailer's actions after leaving, and his opinion of Zhou Yi changed slightly.
"This person has the ability to punish, knows how to be patient, and can see the situation clearly. He is indeed a useful talent. After I have rectified Heavenly Prison, I will promote him and join him on duty in the army!"
"What's the future of staying with Heavenly Prison all your life!"
Zhou Yi doesn't know Captain Yang's evaluation, and even if he knew it, he wouldn't care.
What Captain Yang did made all the jailers curse in private, but little did they know that they were used to enjoying all kinds of unspoken rules, and suddenly there was someone who acted according to the rules, so they felt callous and ruthless.
People can get used to or even fall into unspoken rules, but they can't really lose sight of right and wrong!
Zhou Yi has a habit of living in harmony with others. He thinks he cannot be innocent, but he will not stop Captain Yang from doing things.
I'm writing the second chapter, a little later.
