longevity of self-cultivation

Chapter 172

Ten years ago, when he was still in Longmenjing, Mo Changsheng and Mo Changyou made an agreement that when Mo Changyou returned home a year later, the two would meet quietly and then discuss whether Mo Changyou would return to Xiaoyaozong or not. .

Nine years ago, Mo Changsheng was seriously waiting for Mo Changyou to come back to meet him, but Mo Changyou didn't go back.

After Mo Changyou returned home, Father Mo and Mrs. Mo were gray-haired, and finally saw the eldest son who was a little reckless when he was young. The two elders beat Mo Changyou angrily, but they still cried and died. Welcomed into the house.

After Mo Changyou returned home, he didn't stay at home for too long.

Especially after hearing about the establishment of Changsheng Hall and Wuyou Academy when Mo Changsheng returned home, he couldn't stay at home anymore.

At this time, Mo Xiaosan has married the little princess of the Ninth Prince’s family, and under the name of Master Junma, he takes the little princess on a tour around the country. He built charitable halls for homeless people under the age of 16 and over 60, and schools for teaching literacy and etiquette for ordinary men and women in the places he walked.

Mo Xiaosan still remembered what Mo Changsheng said, that the philanthropy should not only rely on donations from the Mo family, but also depend on each other with the Mo family's shop.The shantang only teaches simple literacy and etiquette for free, but if you want to learn survival skills, such as embroidery, such as carpentry, and other things, you have to sign a five-year agreement with Mo's shop and promise to work in Mo's shop for five years. , to learn.As for the schools, because ordinary people feel that literacy is useless, even if they have the opportunity, they are only willing to let the men in the family go to study and literacy, and it is virtue for women to be ignorant.Therefore, the school will be exempted from confinement training for decades.

However, Mo's shop pays attention to honesty and makes money.Wherever Mo Xiaosan went, he opened the Mo family's business, wherever the shantang and the school were built, so the Mo family could fully afford the cost, and even though Mo Xiaosan gave up his official career, Mo Xiaosi came from behind. As an official in the court, he fully supported this matter, so the Mo family has always insisted on doing it, and has not been suppressed.

Not long after Mo Changyou returned home, Mo Xiaosan brought his son and daughter to meet Mo Changyou, and told him what Mo Changsheng said back then about leaving Wuyou Academy to Mo Changyou to build.

Mo Changyou has stayed in the sect longer than Mo Changsheng, and he has seen more jade slips of the sect, so Mo Changsheng only guessed about the superficial "merit", but Mo Changyou knows very well in his heart that this is a big deal. The good deeds - what he calls good, is not just for the mortals in the Five Spirits Continent, but for the people who did it.

Even if the entire mortal world of Wuling Continent is full of Changshengtang and Mojia Academy, Mo Changsheng, who first proposed this suggestion, and the Mo family, who are working hard to implement this suggestion, will benefit a lot in the future.

Just imagine, if one percent or one tenth of the people in the mortal world of Wuling Continent have received the favor of Mo Changsheng, then even if the way of heaven wants to embarrass Mo Changsheng, with such merits, I am afraid that it will have to be carefully weighed. Just a few minutes.

Mo Changyousi, Mo Xiaosan and Mo Xiaosi are ordinary people, and they only have a lifespan of less than a hundred years. In a hundred years, they only need to run the Changshengtang and Mo's Academy in their own country, take care of them, and find them. Taking over from them to take care of these people is enough merit.

Mo Changyou found Mr. Mo and Mrs. Mo, and told the two elders about the matter in detail. The two elders went with him to other mortal countries to find suitable people, and then built the Changsheng Hall and the academy.

For the cost, Mo Changyou directly crushed the communication talisman and asked Mo Changsheng to send it to him from afar, and those who are willing to cooperate with him in the mortal country, after hearing that they don't need to spend a cent , as long as they take good care of and take care of it, and they can still bear a good reputation for nothing, they all agree.

It's just that Mo Changyou doesn't really trust those people after all. The people who manage and manage the Changsheng Hall and the academy are all people who have been favored by the Mo family and have come out of the Changsheng Hall.

The rest of Mo Changyou's time in the mortal world was spent looking for suitable candidates everywhere, while building Changsheng halls and academies in the places he passed by, and taking his nearly eighty-year-old parents to visit the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers.Because Mo's father and Mo's mother have taken a lot of pills to strengthen their bodies, their bodies are stronger than ordinary people, and Mo Changyou, a son who is not an ordinary person, is by his side. While watching his son do good deeds, he tasted other places The delicious food and beautiful scenery are also satisfying.

After all, Mo Changyou couldn't stay in the mortal world for too long. After a year, he could only bid farewell to his family and return to the realm of comprehension.

Fortunately, the people he arranged in the mortal world, because they knew his and Mo Changsheng's cultivation and identities, were all very honest, and they didn't dare to have any evil intentions.And those who are greedy for these good reputations, after hearing the "backer" behind the Changshengtang and the academy, can only honestly start from scratch, imitating the two Jianshantang and the academy, and dare not go to the Changshengtang And the idea of ​​the academy.

After Mo Changyou returned to the realm of cultivation, he was "protected" by two monks who transformed himself into spirits from the Xiaoyao Sect. Mo Changyou immediately felt that he was not going to see his younger brother, turned around, and started to live in the mortal residence of the realm of cultivation. , One by one, Changshengtang and academies were established.

In ten years, Mo Changyou didn't even remember how many longevity halls and academies he built.

Mo Changsheng didn't remember how much gold, silver, jewels and spirit stones he had lost.

Ten years ago, in Mo Changsheng's impression, Mo Changyou was as gentle as jade and personable, but there was always a melancholy between his brows.

But ten years later, when Mo Changsheng saw Mo Changyou again, he found that Mo Changyou was dressed in white, still as gentle as jade, but there was no melancholy in his eyes, but a kind of warmth instead.

Mo Changsheng was startled, and said joyfully, "It seems that the past ten years, brother, have been really happy."

Mo Changyou said with a smile: "It is also thanks to Changsheng for sending gold, silver and spirit stones to Brother Wei uninterruptedly."

When Mo Changsheng thought of the fact that he had been emptied of a storage ring, he also laughed, hurriedly welcomed Mo Changyou in, and ordered Pei Shijiulang to follow Qingyan and Puyangzi who were beside Mo Changyou, I want those two cultivators of the Xiaoyao Sect to make arrangements for everything.

Qingyan and Puyangzi naturally agreed, but the two cultivators of Xiaoyao Sect said arrogantly: "Master Mo is kind, but we are entrusted by the sect to protect Master Mo with us, and we must not leave easily. "

Mo Changsheng paused slightly, and squinted his eyes to look at the two cultivators.

The bodies of the two cultivators who turned into gods froze instantly.

But thinking of Zongmen's entrustment, he straightened up and refused to take half a step back.

Mo Changsheng smiled and sighed: "Is that so, then..."

Before he could say anything, the two cultivators who transformed into spirits suddenly felt a sense of danger, and when they looked closely, they found two monster snakes who were about the same level as them, looking at them coldly.

Mo Changsheng glanced at the two demonic snakes, his lips moved slightly, and the vertical pupils of the two demonic snakes lit up a little bit, "hissing", and attacked the two cultivators who transformed into gods!

The two snakes and the two snakes have similar cultivation bases, so they should have been evenly matched, but the two snakes are poisonous, and the two spirit-transforming monks couldn't bear to be bitten, so they could only support themselves.

Seeing that he couldn't beat them and no one was willing to help, one of them directly sarcastically said: "Master Mo is so capable, to let the demon snakes of this sect bully the disciples of the outer sect like this! I just don't know, if the four sects and nine sects know about this, will they be able to do so?" Call the door and ask what happened!"

Another person also said: "Brother, don't talk too much! This Longevity Sect not only regards people as disciples, but also compares those monsters with humans, and treats them as disciples of the Longevity Sect. They also need to register and issue nameplates. , How can you be reasonable? No matter how much you talk to him, he won't understand!"

The face of the person who spoke first changed, and Mo Changsheng sighed: "It's not that our sect doesn't want to help you, it's actually these demonic snakes, and even if they're not disciples of the Longevity Sect, our sect... really can't help them. Either way In view of the fact that you are brothers and fellow students, this sect begged for favors from those monster snakes, so that they would not torment you and ruin you, just go as far as it takes."

After finishing speaking, Mo Changsheng turned around, looked at the hundreds of monster snakes that suddenly appeared expressionlessly, and said: "This sect knows your intentions, and you are willing to fight with them one by one. until?"

All the monster snakes nodded in unison, revealing their thin snake letters, and looked happily at the two cultivators who transformed themselves into spirits.

The two deity-transforming monks looked at the hundreds of monster snakes that had activated their spiritual intelligence, and their faces turned black. They were trying to stop Mo Changsheng, but they were thrown directly into their faces by the tail of the monster snake, and half of their faces were swollen. Mo said It's to go forward to stop, just to open your mouth to talk to stop, but you can't open your mouth at all.

Mo Changsheng glanced at them, pulled Mo Changyou and left.

Mo Changyou was quite interested in those monster snakes, and asked: "The monster snakes in the sect who have enlightened their wisdom are all brought by Mu Sheng? Why hasn't Changsheng accepted them as disciples?"

Now Mo Changsheng's face darkened.

The Longevity Sect is indeed eclectic. No matter who it is, as long as it has no sect or sect and can pass the test of the Longevity Sect, it can be accepted as a disciple.In the past ten years, the news that the Taoist couple, the head of the Longevity Sect, is a monster snake has spread to every corner of the cultivation world as if it has grown wings.

Therefore, after hearing this, many demon beasts and demon cultivators who had enlightened their spiritual wisdom all ran over, wanting to see where this Longevity Gate is, who is this sect master, and how could they be so big The news that the partner is a demon snake is made public?

As a result, after looking at it, they were all attracted by the news that the Longevity Sect had Transformation Pills, and they all wanted to vote for the sect.

Among them, those who came the most and most wanted to join the Taoist companion of the head of the Longevity Sect were those monster snakes.

Although the monster snake has opened up its spiritual wisdom, it has always grown in the mountains and forests. Compared with humans, its mind is much simpler. They feel that as long as they please the head snake, as they are the same as the pillow snake, the head snake Just looking at their animal shapes, the door should agree to let them in!

However, Mo Changsheng's cultivation and temperament have changed a little over the years, the only thing that hasn't changed is his hatred of snakes.Previously it was only a few monster snakes or a dozen monster snakes who came to flee, but Mo Changsheng gritted his teeth and let Master Jiaolong bring them to him to "go through the back door", but this time, there were three or four hundred snakes directly. The monster snake ran over, and Master Jiaolong took him through the back door, and a bunch of snakes ran over to meet him, the head of the sect... How could Mo Changsheng bear it?

It's not that he can't bear the pillow snake walking through the back door, but that Mo Changsheng can't bear the fact that three or four hundred snakes are in the way of his eyes!

Three or four hundred snakes spit out snake letters...

Mo Changsheng only took one look, and felt goosebumps all over his body, and the word "snake cave" immediately appeared in his mind, so he ignored the idea of ​​the snake beside his pillow, turned his head and left, and did not affirm these three things until Mo Changyou came. Four hundred snakes have the opportunity to enter the sect.

Of course, if Lord Jiaolong hadn't had the idea of ​​"going through the back door", these three or four hundred demon snakes would have probably become disciples of the Longevity Sect long ago if they had passed the test according to the sect's rules.

Hearing Mo Changyou mention these things, Mo Changsheng's face twisted for a moment, then he returned to his usual appearance, and said solemnly: "The Longevity Gate has gate rules, and you must pass the test to enter the Longevity Gate. Those demon snakes did not participate in the test. Naturally, they cannot enter the Longevity Gate. After they greet the two cultivators who have transformed into spirits, I will arrange for them to participate in the test."

The Longevity Sect has always had strict rules for recruiting casual cultivators who have already cultivated. At the beginning, there were only three tests stipulated by Mo Changsheng. In addition to recruiting warlike disciples, they also like to recruit disciples who are not warlike but like alchemy and equipment or even good at farming. Even those disciples who have no special skills but excel in diligence, the Longevity Gate also welcomes them.

Moreover, the Four Sects and Nine Sects have always had a very high vision, and they rarely recruit casual practitioners as disciples. They generally only recruit children who have not yet cultivated. .

Neither Mo Changsheng nor Xuan Ting, who actually managed the Changshengmen, neither of them hoped that the Changshengmen would receive disciples who were too difficult and provocative in the early days, so for ten years, the two of them were in a daze. The number of tests for casual cultivators and martial arts has increased to nine.But even so, due to the excellent treatment of the disciples of the Longevity Gate and the longevity pill, there are still a large number of casual cultivators who want to enter the Longevity Gate.

Mo Changyou has been walking in the cultivation world for the past nine years. Even though he often lives in the place where mortals gather in the cultivation world, he also knows the benefits of the Longevity Gate, so he smiled knowingly and didn't ask any more questions.

As for his younger brother's appearance of being angry at all the monster snakes and still having a headache just now... Mo Changyou smiled slightly, but he still put it in his heart, and he slowly recollected it.

It's just this matter, does that stupid snake know?Do you know how determined his younger brother is for him?

Not long after Mo Changyou stayed, Mo Changsheng directly wrote Mo Changyou into the list of permanent guest elders of the Changshengmen, and there was only this one person in this list.

Everyone in the Changshengmen admired and respected Mo Changsheng, so what Mo Changsheng said was what he said, and the fact that Mo Changyou was "being" a guest elder of the Changshengmen did not stir up any waves.

What really made the Longevity Gate boil was the opening of the Longmen Mirror a month later.

The handyman disciples and the outer disciples are fairly stable, while the official disciples, the inner disciples above, the elite disciples, etc., have all received the news that the Longevity Sect has the spirit elixir, which can make the Jindan stage and above, and the spiritual stage Cultivators below the cultivation level suppressed their cultivation bases and entered the Longmen Mirror.

There are two types of quotas for Changshengmen to enter Longmenjing. One is ranked from top to bottom according to the contribution points of the sect. The top six players can get Jiangling Pill and go to Longmen Mirror for a walk.

Mo Changsheng also specially reserved a spot for Mo Changyou.

"Brother is in the Nascent Soul stage, you can go to the Longmen Mirror again." Mo Changsheng said, "I spent the past ten years in the Changsheng Hall and the school, and now I should spend some time on cultivation. Qingyan And Pu Yangzi, you can also go to Longmen Mirror to practice more."

Mo Changyou asked back: "What about Changsheng? Will Changsheng go?"

Mo Changsheng: "...It's only ten days. Brother, you can see me again after ten days in the Dragon Gate Mirror."

Mo Changyou didn't say anything at all, just looked at Mo Changsheng with a slight smile, but refused to agree to go to Longmenjing.

One month later, the Dragon Gate Mirror was opened.

The disciples who entered the Longmen Mirror of the Longevity Gate saw that there was no Mo Changyou around, and the disciples stationed at the Longevity Gate saw Mo Changyou in the sect, and felt a little strange in their hearts, thinking that they might be able to do more for the Longevity Gate...

After the Longmen Mirror was opened, Mo Changyou didn't enter the Longmen Mirror, nor did he stay in the Longmen Gate. He wanted to leave.

Mo Changsheng couldn't persuade Mo Changyou, so he could only slowly write out the method of pinyin learning that he had tried to recall after learning what his brother had done, and then taught it to a few people from Mortal Square City. The hundreds of masters who came over taught them to write thick dictionaries, dictionaries and idiom dictionaries, poems and scriptures based on pinyin and strokes, as well as the blackboard he made with butterflies. The books translated from those poems, history books and allusions were handed over to Mo Changyou.

It also comes with a photo symbol for teaching pinyin and calligraphy.

Mo Changyou only read a part of it, and immediately understood the benefits of learning characters and dictionaries with ghost-drawing symbols.Today's fonts are complicated, and ordinary people who want to learn characters have no other way except to be taught and indoctrinated by the master frequently.And if students want to learn characters, they can only stuff those characters into their heads abruptly, but with this method of learning characters with ghostly symbols and a dictionary, it is not too difficult to learn characters again up.

As for the other things that Mo Changsheng gave him, although Mo Changyou didn't look at them carefully, but with the photo talisman and more than a dozen mortal masters who were willing to follow him to do good deeds everywhere, Mo Changyou didn't look at them any more. He took the things directly, and said with a smile: "The things that Changsheng gave are all good things."

Mo Changsheng was helpless, and he couldn't reprimand his not-so-obedient brother like Lord Jiaolong, so he said: "Ten years. Brother only has ten years left to do these things. After ten years, brother will come back and practice with me. "Even if he doesn't go to Longmenjing, he will drag Mo Changyou into his space to practice.

Ten years is enough for Mo Changyou to visit the remaining mortal residences in the cultivation world.

But Mo Changyou's thoughts are obviously getting bigger and bigger. Since he wants to accumulate merit, he should do as much as possible. He hesitated and said, "In ten years, I'm afraid I won't have time to go to Dongjiuzhou and other places."

"..." Mo Changsheng said with a dark face, "I found ten people in the sect, and they are all willing to do this kind of good deed. Then they will learn from their elder brother. After they have learned it, I will let them take the lead With other people, go to Dongjiuzhou, Ximo and other places to build charity halls and schools."

After hearing this, Mo Changyou was satisfied. He stepped forward to give Mo Changsheng a hug, and seeing the sad eyes of the little golden snake that had been driven into the corner, he left in a happy mood.

It's just that his happy mood didn't last long.

After leaving the Longevity Gate for thousands of miles, he saw someone he didn't want to see.

There are thousands of illusions.

Feng Qianhuan, who was getting old and hunched over.

The smile on Mo Changyou's lips tightened.What should come will always come, even though he planned to give up revenge for himself due to various reasons, but Feng Qianhuan came.

With Liu Furong, the two of them came alone.
