The old ox knelt on the ground obediently.

The star god of the Altair constellation next to him.

The two thieves are good at fighting. Just say that when people in the world describe a heroic spirit as "angry as a bull", you know that Niu Su Xingjun is a top-notch fighter. And the old ox was also a devil among the monsters. The fighting between the monster tribes is no less than that between humans and monsters. This guy is able to do cross-tribal weapons and magic weapon business between different monster tribes, which shows his skills.

But now both of them are so honest that they can't be any more honest.

The Goddess of the Weaver Girl.

Among the descendants of the Northern Emperor, he is the one who is closest to the Northern Emperor.

At the age of nineteen, he could weave clouds into treasures.

Created the magical power of pulling machines and weaving clouds.

Son of the Northern Emperor of the previous generation.

He was on military duty outside and could only come back once every hundred years. When he came back, he found that his daughter had suddenly disappeared. There had been no sign of her for several days. His beautiful face was already full of coldness. He sat on a chair with a sword on one side. The sword was three feet and seven inches long and had a sharp edge. He said:

"So, you two, a father and an uncle, don't know where Yunqin went?"

"Um?"

A heroic man with the courage to fight a bull.

The devil king of the demon race.

Qiqi looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose. He was as honest as a child who would not say a word even if bullied.

They were not the ones who used to laugh wildly and beat other people's heads into their chests, or who used to laugh wildly and shout the name of a certain plant while besieging the city of the demon tribe like a cow; nor were they the heroes who were swordsmen in the world and roamed the world and would draw their swords to fight at the slightest disagreement, but they were two cowards.

The old ox is extremely honest.

Don't look at me, don't look at me...

My scalp is tingling.

Gritted his teeth.

He nudged the Niu Su Xingjun next to him with his elbow and said, "Lao Yun, say something."

"You are the child's father, don't just stand there like a log."

You should take the blame now!

Niu Su Xingjun was furious, and he bumped his elbow and said in a low voice: "Aren't you the old cow who has been playing with Yunqin?"

"They all played finger-guessing games with the Four Heavenly Kings, and went to the White Tiger Guard to stare at the sword forging."

"You have been to all the major palaces in the world."

"Yunqin is so fast now, isn't it because you brought her up since she was little?"

The best friend back then sold out all his underwear to the man opposite him. The Weaver Girl sat on a chair, her right leg resting lightly on her left calf, one hand supporting her chin, her brows slightly raised, her expression lazy, but her eyes were cold, with light red eyeshadow in the corners of her eyes. Her makeup was cold and majestic, with tiny starlight in the depths of her eyes, and her hair was complicated and elegant.

He looked at the two Star Lords who were blaming each other, watching them elbow each other first, then fight with fists and feet, and finally entangle their arms and put their heads together, like human wrestling. He sighed, and even if he was very angry, he dispersed a lot of it. Beidi was not anxious, which meant that Yunqin was not in any danger. He said lightly: "Kneel back."

"Yeah, okay."

“…”

Zhinu raised her sword and said in a cold tone, "You two wait here for Yunqin to come back."

"I'll go ask Grandpa."

The Goddess of Weaver Girl had never lost her temper in the past, and her relationship with the Goddess of Ox was known to everyone in the Heavenly Palace. It was regarded as a good story. They came down to the mortal world together to experience tribulations and reincarnations, and they were able to support each other in their cultivation and return. This made the Kuimu Wolf very envious, and he sighed several times while drinking to express his envy.

It seems that Fairy Yunqin will never come back this time.

And he missed the ritual of Beidizi.

This made the previous Northern Emperor’s son, the Goddess of Weaver Girl, so angry.

That's why, this usually gentle and cold beauty got angry for the first time.

This immediately made the two generals of the fighting department become intimidated.

He rode on a cloud all the way and entered the Beidi Palace. However, when he asked the Beidi, he did not show up. He only said that Yunqin was fine and there was no need to worry. The Weaver Girl was helpless and turned away. The Zuo Fu Star Lord saw the former son of the Beidi off and watched him go away before turning back.

Beidizi is a title passed down from generation to generation, representing a kind of recognition rather than an honor or capital for arbitrary behavior.

It was not the name that frightened the immortals.

Rather, it is the amazing potential possessed by the practitioner who bears this name.

Once its potential was lost, Beidi's recognition was lost.

Or if you do something that violates the Northern Emperor's taboos, you will lose this title.

Once the title is lost, the guidance and resources allocated to the Northern Emperor will be taken away immediately.

No different from ordinary Doubu immortals and gods.

Zuo Fu Xingjun watched Zhi Nu Su leave, always smiling, and sighed slightly: "She might go and cause trouble for the little guy who has a good relationship with Yun Qin'er. It can't be considered trouble. It can only be said that when a mother becomes a mother, her personality will change, and she will inevitably worry about her daughter making friends with the wrong people."

"But Nvxiu Xingjun has experienced disasters after all, so she won't go too far and knows her limits."

"There's no need to worry."

When he turned back, he went to pay respect to the Northern Emperor. Tian Peng Da Zhen Jun also came here. The Northern Emperor drank tea and played chess with Tian Peng. Suddenly, he lowered his eyes and said lightly: "** Demon, first he broke the node of the disaster in Zhongzhou, delayed Ji Du, and then noticed the abnormality of Fengdu City and stabilized the Five Ghost Emperors. His merits, if he is not a disciple of the Supreme Disciple, what grade should he be ranked."

Tianpeng picked up a child, sat cross-legged opposite him, and replied: "...If it is not the lineage of the Supreme."

"Wait until he finishes the work in Fengdu City."

"You should have the opportunity to be promoted to the fifth-rank general of the Exorcist Institute, and have the title of Nine Heavens Honored added before your name."

"I am the Nine Heavens Demon of the North Pole of the Central Sky, and I accept the duties of the Traveling Envoy."

Tian Peng Da Zhen Jun changed his tone and said:

"However, because he was directly taught by the Supreme lineage, he completed the Five Ghost Emperors of Fengdu City and suppressed them a hundred times, so he is at most the eighth rank."

"He is the law enforcement officer of the Left Army of Exorcism."

Beidi said in a calm voice: "The Great Master lineage..."

“What a pity.”

"If he were not a disciple of the Three Pure Ones, he should have joined the North Pole Exorcism Institute system, been personally instructed by Taibai and you, accumulated merits and promotions, and could have become famous. In this case, the Weaver Girl would not have anything to say about him, and would probably approve of Yunqin's relationship with him."

Tian Peng smiled slightly and said calmly: "The Supreme lineage can only be like this."

"If he wasn't from the Supreme lineage, he might not be able to resolve the disaster in Zhongzhou. It should be like this. Since he has obtained the best inheritance, he should bear the most difficult responsibilities. Teacher has always taught us this, and I dare not forget it at all."

Beidi made a move and said, "In that case, change it to double."

Great True Lord Tianpeng was surprised.

"Do you want to make it twice as difficult for him to accumulate merit and advance to a higher position as for ordinary people?"

"No."

Beidi's tone was calm and indifferent. He placed a piece on the board, ending the game. He then retracted his right hand, letting his sleeves fall onto the board. He replied calmly, "It's twice as much as before, two hundred times as much as an ordinary person."

Two hundred times more difficult.

Two hundred times the pressure of the disaster.

Only then can you help others survive a disaster.

If others save a hundred people, you need to save twenty thousand people. If others can overcome ten calamities, you can overcome two thousand calamities.

Even Tianpeng's expression was slightly moved.

…

In the human world, the young Taoist discussed the rudiments of his own skills with the middle-aged man in front of him. The middle-aged Taoist with extraordinary bearing simply said, "It is not an ordinary thing to realize the skills by yourself, but why do you only focus on the high realm and ignore the most basic theory of Qi body?"

He pointed his finger at the young Taoist who was motionless and didn't dare to move at all, and said calmly:

"I have already told you that the Qi and body are one. Then you should disperse your own Qi into your body, and use the heaven and earth as a furnace to temper and forge it. Your body and Qi will become one. Your every move will be like that of an ordinary Taoist, activating the Yuan Qi, and the flow of the Yuan Qi is the so-called magical power."

"You push the door, stamp your feet, it's all magic, every move you make is magical."

"Those mundane things naturally couldn't stop you. You smashed them all."

The young Taoist suddenly understood.

"Moving Qi is a magical power. My current body is no different from Qi."

"The action itself is similar to a magical power."

Taoist Qingyu said calmly: "You are not stupid for reacting now. You can't get along with others with your behavior. You can kill people by accident. Stay with me first and learn to control your strength... Humph, you are the only one who created a martial art but was controlled by it."

The young Taoist said sincerely: "I am a foolish young man, thank you for your guidance."

Taoist Qingyu looked at him.

After a long time, he said, "Calm your mind for now."

"Do you know how to practice meditation to circulate qi?"

"yes."

The young Taoist recounted the philosophy his teacher had taught him, and mentioned that his teacher had said that meditation and qigong also require rest, and should not exceed a certain amount of time each day. Taoist Qingyu glanced at Qi Wuhuo and said calmly, "His approach is correct, but that is a leisurely and free way. You have already passed that stage."

"Now the Qi in your body is dispersing into your spirit and the power is condensed. You need to use the method of moving Qi all the time to maintain my spirituality and keep it still. Only in this way can it be possible." He then raised his hand and threw something towards Qi Wuhuo. Upon closer inspection, it was a long stick as thick as a wrist, which was plain and ordinary. It landed lightly in front of the young Taoist and stuck upside down on the ground.

Taoist Qingyu said: "That's great, you can hone your martial arts."

The young Taoist was full of doubts.

A very irrational feeling came over me.

而后转眼被定义为，此行此举，一位热心肠的邻居帮助自己磨砺武艺，是极为合理的事情，不需要大惊小怪，他下意识伸出手去握着兵器，本能地道：“人间的武艺，我也学习过的，但是刚刚没有用，木门还是直接被拍散……嗯！！！”

少年道人身子一偏，却是拿不起此这根古朴的棍子。

“这是……”

清玉道人淡淡道：“这？”

“只是我家用来撑屋子的桩子而已，你就拿着这东西，先提起来。”

齐无惑深深吸了口气，尝试了数次，不断调整气机和身躯，才勉勉强强将这根古朴的长棍握在手中，清玉道人嗓音平淡，道：“体承诸道，炁化万法，体魄已铸。”

“握着它，炼炁。”

少年道人怔住，下意识看向那负手而立的清玉道人。

“炼炁？”

自古行气都需要安静凝神，否则行炁错乱，则是会有炁机浮躁之心态。

清玉道人冷淡道：“怎么，做不到吗？”

少年道人迟疑了下，回答道：“……那似乎和常规修行之路相违背。”

清玉道人道：“常规的修行，是为了给后来人准备的道路，而你不该走这一条路，让寻常之人去走天才的道路是一种折磨，而让天赋横溢之辈去走常人之路，不也是一种折辱？哼……太上……太上……”

少年道人眸子抬起，刚要询问。

然后就忘记了清玉道人说出过自己老师的名字。

可本能又对这清玉道人信任度提升。

清玉道人平淡道：“凡行炁者，非言形体端然、瞑目合眼，此是假修行也。”

“真修者，须要十二时辰，行住坐卧，一切动静中间，心如泰山，不动不摇。”

“把断四门眼、耳、口、鼻，不令外景入内。”

“万物寂灭，吾心不变。”

“你便是炁之所化，为何行炁还需要休息？岂不可笑？！”

少年道人呢喃自语，清玉道人直接提手按在齐无惑的眉心，让他感受到身动而心静，动静轮转之奥妙，而后又提起了右手，看着齐无惑自己去尝试控制在日常生活之中的炼炁和控制身躯。

只是这一根青铜棍子却也在不断汲取少年道人体内之炁。

令他的炁不能如常运转。

必须要倾尽全力去和这兵器争夺自身之炁。

还要在这兵器的争夺之下控制自己的炁，安然流转，而那清玉道人见到齐无惑逐渐适应，不至于走路的时候把自己给埋了，则是随意折了一根柳树枝，直接朝着齐无惑抽击过来，少年道人如果不想要被抽中的话，就不得不在现在这样的情况下，握着那一根沉重得不可思议的棍棒躲闪。

那分明只是一根寻常的柳树条，被抽一次，浑身的炁都会被打散。

而用力过猛，失去了在急速动作之中控制炁的能力，则是会自己把自己给埋在土里面。

少年道人被揍得七荤八素，躺倒在地上。

大口喘气。

恰到好处地被逼迫到了极限，却又不至于损伤根基的程度。

但是即便是在这个时候，也不得不动用元神运转自身之炁，否则他这样瘫坐地上都会被埋下去，清玉道人垂眸，随意扔下了树枝，淡淡道：“记得去做饭。”

转过身，看到梅花树下的后土皇地祇。

后者凝眉看着这一幕：“玉清，未免太严苛。”

玉清淡淡道：“严苛？”

“你在说什么。”

“提升和修行，本来就是痛苦的。”

“若是做事情的时候觉得轻松，那只能代表这些事情毫无提升，既有天赋，那就要将其天赋彻底开发出来，唯独烈火锻身，可称真才。”

后土皇地祇看着那少年道人爬起来，然后身子都在微微颤抖，却还不得不提着那根长棍，当扫过上面的古朴图案时候，后土皇地祇的神色微有动容，道：“这是……”

“第二劫纪，用来撑着天的柱子？”

“你……”

清玉道人淡淡道：“放心，此物可自行调整分量，不会压死他。”

后土皇地祇道：“苍生百态，各有其所成，如百花盛放，皆有其美。”

“以你自己的理念强加于旁人身上，也是霸道。”

清玉道人道：“以金玉之才而拿来铺路，不是浪费是什么？以金丝美木，本可雕琢至宝，却拿来烧柴，不是愚钝又是什么？得昆山之美玉，却扔入江河之中，言道无为，说可为湖海波涛冲击以成宝，不是傲慢是什么？！”

后土皇地祇感觉到一种平静之中的愤怒。

无可奈何，劝说道：“众生百态，未必皆要成你眼中之才。”

“这大千世界，不亦如此，有繁花万种，才是蔚然大观。”

“道友若是要让世间万物都要塑造为你眼中之才，不也是无趣吗？”

清玉道人似乎赞同，颔首，道：“所言甚是。”

旋即淡淡道：“然而，吾之目之所及，不需要废物。”

后土皇地祇无言以对，只好道：

“你要传授他武功？”

清玉道人淡淡道：“打基础而已，修兵器为棍，这东西只是负重，不是兵器。”

“他的兵器是那把剑，但是从棍法之上也能打好剑术的基础。”

“棍为百兵之祖，诸多兵器的法门都可以在棍上寻找到源头，也是入门最简单的兵器，枪戟之刺脱胎于棍法之点，刀剑之斩则类于棍之抡。”

“若他真学会了棍，则三十六般兵器之中，绝大多数的兵器都可以随心使用。”

“历劫入世，总有用到的时候。”

后土皇地祇道：“你不打算教他技巧之类？”

“不必。”

清玉道人淡淡道：“我会压低境界，等到他背负此物，能避开我的攻击，便是身法；能持此棍，打中我一下，即是武技大成。”

后土皇地祇看到清玉道人眼底的从容，以及傲慢之下的纯粹赤诚，知道祂只是单纯的见良才美玉而不忍弃之而已，只怕是苦了那少年道人，这一日少年道人累得狼藉不堪，勉勉强强才做好了饭菜，端着碗筷走出来的时候，却又有另外一位女子来到了此地。

却见她姿容甚是宽仁，虽不甚美，却也给人一种文雅之感。

她微笑看向那少年道人，而后收回视线，看向坐在正座的清玉道人，行礼道：

“弟子见过老师。”

“嗯。”

这位气质宽仁的女子含笑看着少年道人，上下打量。

而当这位女子看向自己的时候，纵然是心性如少年道人，一时竟也有一种心惊胆战之感，而清玉道人言简意赅道：“理性如调琴，弦紧便有断，慢则不应，紧慢得中，琴可调矣。”

“只知苦修，不是正道，也该要读书，学文。”

“她名为太元，将会每日教导你学识，文字，礼仪之流。”

少年道人张了张口，结结巴巴道：“晚辈，不需要这些了吧？”

清玉道人淡淡道：“遂古之初，谁传道之；上下未形，何由考之？”

“诸上古仙神的语言和风俗，先天生灵交流时候有几种方式，龙族凤族的语言，太古年代的礼仪，古代遗迹之中的破解方法，以及第一劫纪到第五劫纪之间的历史年代记录，你都知道了？面对太古年代的先天生灵如何保持礼仪，如何表达自己没有敌意的方法你懂得了？”

“连这些都不懂得的话，没有资格出门。”

“去读书吧。”

“记住，一日十二时辰，不可停滞行炁，需在有为无为之间。”

“且去罢。”

少年道人头皮发麻。

后土皇地祇看着那位女子拉着少年道人去一侧读书，教导文字。

而虚空之中泛起涟漪，那一个院落的时间流速和外界不同，后土皇地祇若有所思，道：“太元圣母……第二劫纪所生。”

“玉清元始天尊十二圣真之第二位。”

一侧的元营元君疑惑道：“这位的名号，我似乎听到过。”

后土皇地祇道：“她的名号不显，十二圣真之中，不擅长战斗，和天蓬不同。”

“但是，你或许听过她的儿子和女儿。”

元营元君疑惑。

后土皇地祇淡淡道：“一名，西王母。”

“一则，东王公。”

！！！！

元营元君面色骤变。

后土皇地祇叹息，玉清元始天尊一脉，极难以入门，也极难以出山，但是一旦出山，绝无短板，皆天下第一等风流之辈，都曾经纵横一个劫纪，哪怕是打基础，可是这种难度也让她都叹为观止，心中也不由想到一个可能，若是这少年一开始就入玉清，是否更好？

……

而少年道人陷入前所未有的压力之下时候。

某位‘离家出走’的少女脚步轻快回到了牛宿，一打眼就看到了父亲和牛叔跪在那里，先是疑惑，而后挥手灿烂笑着道：“爹爹，牛叔！”

“我玩回来了！”

然后少女看到了，爹爹和牛叔惊恐的目光。

掠向了自己身后。
