702 Half a lifetime of teachings in the next day, several degrees of heat and cold
(702 Half-life teachings are in the next day, and several degrees of heat and coldness are absolute)
Lian Ling just took this opportunity to pass the prohibition at the door. Anything else is fine. Even if Kong Du suddenly came back, with the strength of this uncle's Purple Mansion, he would definitely not be able to find her traces.
Even if he agreed to Lin Mei'er to see him on a whim, Lin Mei'er was already ready to ask him about his retreat technique. After asking a few questions, she went back, and she didn't show any flaws.
There are tables and futons in the concierge for visitors to wait. Lin Mei'er sat here with peace of mind, and Lian Ling passed the second gate by herself and walked to the atrium.
In her own Danyang Pavilion, the bookshelves were full of jade slips. Those jade slips were nothing else, but her daily practice experience. Not only does she practice every day, but she also records what happens on a certain day of the month that disturbs her mind. This habit was not born with her, but learned from Condu.
More than forty years ago, Kong Du was already the dean of the Mude Academy of the Five Elements Sect, and she often came to the Five Elements Sect to ask this uncle. Kong Du often entertains guests in the study. When she walked in, she would most likely see this uncle holding a jade slip in his hand and recording his memories into it. She waited quietly.
That time, she was facing a battle for the position of the head of the Jade Palace, and she was nervous in her heart, and she came to this uncle to ask for advice on the use of the Mu Dun technique in the battle.
In fact, it was this uncle's proud disciple Ghost Xuanyin who competed with her for the position of leader. But she never believed that Condu would be intimate with her and his disciples.
The teachings of this Uncle Confucius have never been reserved. As long as she asks for help, Kong Du knows everything and says everything.
The same is true for that porosity. But to be honest, Kong Du is also the type of cultivation that buries his head in cultivation, and there are not many people who participate in Dao battles or subdue demons. The advice he gave did not make Lian Ling feel that he had gained anything special.
But Lian Ling didn't have much hope for this. As long as she can come and see that this uncle she respects is still healthy.
But what Condu's next meaning was beyond her expectations. Condo advised her to be clearer about her strength on the second day of the fight. As for winning or losing, don't take it that seriously. Especially the position of the head of the Jade Palace is not suitable for a woman like her.
The underlying meaning is that you don't want to win this battle, and it's best to lose. You are not suitable to be the head of the Jade Palace, it is better to let a talented senior brother like Ghost Xuanyin sit in this position. This is the best for you and for the Jade Palace.
"Why?"
Lian Ling actually did not resist this arrangement. She just wondered. This kind of incomprehension is linked to Kong Du's confusion of refusing to accept her as an apprentice, which makes her feel even more that the clouds and mountains are covered in fog, which is simply hindering her Dao heart.
The purpose of her cultivation is just that she doesn't want to let her sister live the same life as she did many years ago, and let her sister live the kind of life that is being bullied and humiliated at will. So she needs to constantly improve her strength, but she has little interest in power itself.
She didn't even want to win this position as the head of the house, she just wanted to prove that her cultivation was not in vain, and her strength was constantly growing.
But it's not true to say that she's not interested in the battle for the head at all. Being able to use Ziyun Hot Spring exclusively in the Jade Palace is also very beneficial to the improvement of her cultivation. The amount of power is completely proportional to the resources available. If she wants to rise faster, power is definitely a beneficial and harmless thing.
Why does Kong Du have to be so favoritistic, if she has to sit in this position, she can't?
Kong Du said generously and bluntly: "Heaven and earth have respect and humility, and people have a share of the earth." Since ancient times, the people of my Houtu Dynasty have been mainly Yao, and the natives are servants. Although you are very talented, you are a Turk after all. You can sit in the position of deputy head, elder, or even elder in the Jade Palace. Only the master!"
"But isn't the ancestor a Tu?"
Lian Ling still felt strange. If you want to say that you have a humble background, I'm afraid no one can catch up with Qin Zunyang. This man who was born as a gangster on the side, when he was 100 years old, he was already known as the first Xuan Xiu who fought invincible opponents all over the world, and he beat those old people to the bottom of the blood. After betraying the Five Elements Sect and founding the Jade Palace, no one in the entire Xuanmen dared to say that he deceived his teacher and destroyed his ancestors.
"The patriarch is the ancestor of the founding school, regardless of origin. However, after the establishment of the Jade Palace, it has always been supported by several Yao families such as Kong, Gu, and Ghost. This is also why the heads of the family are mainly Yaoren. This is the natural law of heaven and earth, whether the ancestor intends to arrange it or not, it will be so. ”
Lian Ling was speechless at that time. Although Qin Zunyang was extremely strong back then, he was not a god who could single-handedly challenge the whole world with the strength of one person. Therefore, he was able to successfully create the Jade Palace faction, and he did have the support of Kong, Gu and several other families.
The reason why it seems that these Yao clans occupy a pillar position in the Jade Palace is because these families have a deep background and have a steady stream of resources.
Moreover, the people of these families cultivated in the Jade Palace, each of them had their own lineage, and they joined together to occupy the most important interests in the Jade Palace, and the disciples of the other families who had no background were naturally ostracized, and they were naturally much worse.
Lian Ling never thought that this was the natural law of heaven and earth. Especially although Yao people are talented, there are fewer and fewer people who are willing to enter the Xuanmen and endure hardships. On the contrary, those Tu people from humble backgrounds are getting stronger and stronger on this road.
But when I saw the figure in front of me, who was once full of blue hair and heroic appearance, his temples were gray, there were wrinkles that could not be concealed between his eyebrows and at the end of his eyes, and there were many black moles on his face. Lian Ling suddenly realized that this teacher who had always been like a god in her heart was actually old.
After his Purple Mansion was completed, he didn't have an inch, and he should have been stuck before Jin Dan. In this case, there is nothing to be done, he can only wait for Shouyuan to continue to pass until he dies of old age.
Lian Ling didn't say anything more. There's not much point in arguing with an old man about an opinion. The old people are extremely stubborn in their own concepts, which is the last sustenance of their lives. If you have to destroy it, you will send them to the grave in advance.
She reluctantly said a few words to Kong Du's request, and then left.
Later, in the decisive battle between her and Ghost Xuanyin, she did seriously consider deliberately losing and giving up the position of head to Ghost Xuanyin. However, in the duel between the masters of the Xuanmen, there are actually very few opportunities for thinking. Especially when there is not much difference in strength between the two sides. Unless she directly admits defeat at the beginning, there is too little room for her to decide later.
When they start to move, a blink of an eye can decide life or death. She didn't think she could die. She wants to protect her sister for the rest of her life. If she dies, although her stupid sister has already cultivated in Xuanmen, she doesn't know how much suffering she will have to endure in the future.
So she can only fight with all her might. Before she could control the situation, she had already won.
As a result, she has been sitting in the position of head for thirty years, and the ghost family, the Kong family, and the Gu family have become incompatible with her. Condo has not seen her since. Even if she came to the Five Elements Sect to ask for a meeting, Kong Du only gave her two words: "No." ”
It was as if they had broken off with each other. This made Lian Ling feel helpless. Even so, Condo is still her lifesaver. Even if she is a life and a life, she is also willing, if there is no sister's bondage.
More than forty years had passed, and the furnishings of this study were not significantly different from what she remembered, except that everything was a little older, as if the years had painted them with an antique lacquer.
The first step when Lian Ling walked in here, she felt that as soon as she looked up, she could see that the uncle who was getting older and older back then was sitting cross-legged on the low couch, placing the jade slip in the middle of the wooden case in front of him, holding a line of inspiration in his hand, as if holding a pen, while recording his memory, while reviewing and reflecting on what he had done and gained on this day.
But others are not there. Although he is not there, the bookshelf behind the couch is neatly stacked with his experiences and records over the years. Lian Ling's gaze went from bottom to top, searching for the record of the history of that year she wanted.
The diaries are arranged in a regular manner, but not in chronological order. Even if ordinary people get here, they can only rummage through them one by one. But that's not a problem for Lian Ling. When she came here more than forty years ago, she was not an outsider, and she had always flipped through the spiritual experience left by these holes.
Not all of Kongdu's diaries can be read directly. There are many records of private matters that have nothing to do with the practice of divine consciousness and have been banned from the divine sense. Theoretically, only Kong Du himself could read it. But for Lian Ling now, she has the power of Jindan, and the divine sense prohibition under these Purple Mansion monks can be easily broken by her.
"Twenty-four years of Kun Yuan, June 17. ”
Lian Ling held a jade slip in his hand and injected a trace of mana. Ethereal light and shadow began to flow around. The memories that Condo had recorded in it began to show their true form around them.
Lian Ling felt that he was kneeling on the couch, and on the opposite side of the table, there was a person sitting impressively, talking to him about an extremely important matter.
