For Xu Luo, his life is simple and unpretentious, and he does monotonous but fulfilling things every day.
That day, Xu Luo walked to the foot of the mountain to see how the fish he raised were doing.
Taoist precepts.
Do not kill without reason.
Do not violate the precept of sexual misconduct.
No fellow disciples may be left behind.
Don't eat beef because it is good.
Don't eat dogs because they are loyal.
Do not eat blackfish because of its filial piety.
I do not eat wild geese because they are chaste.
The Taoist precepts are not about restraint, but about self-control and self-reflection.
Xu Luo raises fish, but he doesn’t want to drain the pond of fish.
Xu Luo was in high spirits when he saw the clear spring water rushing in the small fish pond he had opened up, with many more fish swimming in it than before.
Just as he was about to go up the mountain, two streaks of light flashed across the sky, and a moment later, two people landed in front of him.
Both of them were wearing dark green Taoist robes. They had young faces but were very dignified.
"Fellow Daoist, be merciful!"
The two young Taoists landed in front of Xu Luo, clenched their right fists, covered their right fists with their left hands, raised their knees to the level of their eyebrows, and bowed.
"May I ask how far Xuansu Peak is from here?"
"My two fellows, be merciful."
Xu Luo also bowed to them.
First, place the thumb of your left hand on the base of the ring finger of your right hand, then wrap your right thumb around your left thumb and pinch it with the middle finger of your right hand, then hug your hands together to form a Tai Chi shape.
This is the Ziwu secret.
Then he saluted with his fists.
Xu Luo held it in front of his chest and greeted the two men.
Of course, if you meet an elder, you should raise it to the center of your eyebrows.
The fist-holding salute is the most common etiquette used by Taoists when they meet each other. The fist-holding salute is composed of embracing yin and yang on the outside and pinching the zi and wu points on the inside.
"Xuansu Peak is about two hundred miles from here. Just go straight northwest."
The other party asked for directions politely, and Xu Luo answered patiently.
Taoists all over the world come from the mysterious sect.
And the Xuanmen are all one family.
The clothes these two people were wearing were those of the new disciples from the neighboring Qingyang Mountain. The two families had always been close, so Xu Luo did not blame them for their impoliteness.
Otherwise they should show respect to their juniors.
Because although Xu Luo's strength is average, there are few people in Tiandu Peak and he has a high seniority!
Since ancient times, the youngest son has been the eldest generation.
There are few people in Tiandu Peak, so the inheritance is not that frequent. It has been passed down from generation to generation, and the seniority has become ridiculously high.
So Xu Luo didn't need to ask how many generations of disciples they were from Qingyang Mountain. Even if their Qingyang Mountain Master came, they had to show respect to the younger generation.
The Taoist seniority is shared, after all, the Xuanmen are all one family.
Regardless of his strength, his seniority has to be acknowledged.
"Thank you for your guidance, fellow practitioner."
The two young Taoists bowed to Xu Luo at the same time, then said a few words and said goodbye.
Xu Luo still held the Ziwu ritual in front of his chest.
Watch them leave quietly.
"That's not right, brother."
When they were halfway in the air, the two young Taoists from Qingyang Mountain came to their senses.
"Just now, that fellow saw us controlling the object and did not ask us about our master or our position. He was also very casual when he saluted us."
"Indeed, as fellow practitioners, you should ask us about our ranking and sort us by age."
The senior brother also nodded.
"That fellow Taoist is wearing the attire of a disciple of Xuansu Mountain. He hasn't even reached the foundation-building stage, but he's been able to read Taoist scriptures thoroughly. He should be familiar with Taoist etiquette."
The two brothers looked at each other.
"We were rude just now. Even though he is a senior master, he didn't tell us his identity."
The two smiled bitterly.
There are many people like this in Taoism who are weak in strength but of high seniority.
What's more, the young man just now, at such a young age, has already mastered the Taoist scriptures and is able to enter the Tao. Such natural talent is highly valued in any Taoist sect.
The two of them would not underestimate him just because he was just gathering energy.
Regardless of whether one has studied for seven years or is gifted and completed the course early, to be able to understand the Daoist scriptures at this age is a truly remarkable thing.
As for building the foundation?
After you have mastered the Taoist scriptures, recite them several times, and from gathering Qi to building the foundation will be a natural process.
For Taoist disciples, building the foundation for a hundred days is just the beginning.
"Wulian Tianzun, which sect are you two from?"
The two were flying in the sky and saw a Taoist in black and white robes looking at them in the distance. They quickly stopped, pinched the Ziwu Jue with their hands, and raised their hands high above their eyebrows.
"Qingyang Mountain Zhiyuan (Wisdom) greets Uncle Master."
The Taoist priest in black and white robes looked a little relieved.
Also, pinch the Ziwu Jue on your chest.
"Mercy, I am the Taoist of Tianji Peak in Xuansu Mountain. I wonder what brings you two nephews here in such a hurry?"
The master of Tianji Peak was puzzled.
If something happened in Qingyang Mountain, someone from Qingyang Palace would have sent a letter via flying sword or a message via magic talisman. Why would they let two foundation-building disciples come here?
"Uncle Master, please allow me to report."
Zhiyuan spoke respectfully.
"The two of us were entrusted by Qingyun Peak's Uncle Master Qingyunzi to come to Xuansu Peak to report the news!"
"Qingyunzi?"
Taoist Tianji frowned, stretched out his hands and calculated for a while, but he felt that the secret was obscure and he could not calculate anything for a while.
However, since he hadn't set up the formation and was just randomly calculating, it was normal that he couldn't see anything, so he didn't care.
"In that case, you two can go."
Taoist Tianji waved his hand and let Zhiyuan and the other two leave.
After receiving the signal, Zhiyuan and Zhihui flew away as if they had been pardoned.
The oppression that Tianji Taoist put on them was too strong, even stronger than Qingyunzi.
"That is..."
At this time, Taoist Tianji's attention was attracted by a young man.
He seemed a little conflicted and stood there without moving.
