Chapter 454 Side Door
As soon as Murong Ji finished speaking, the cave became quiet for a moment. Ma Xianhong didn't expect this, and neither did Liu Dang.

In an instant, Murong Ji's aura suddenly released, and the resulting energy directly knocked Liu Dang several meters away.

"After you become my disciple, what will Jin Yong do?"

"I...I...will thank Teacher Jin Yong very much!" Liu Dang quickly knelt down again.

Murong Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, "Teacher? You know that the Qi in your body, and even the skills, all come from him. If you take him as your teacher, he will not hesitate at all."

"Well, when I came to Biyou Village, Ma Xianhong treated me to delicious food and drinks. He prepared everything, including Maotai and local eggs. I'll give him some face."

"Don't accuse me of being heartless. The technique I practice is the orthodox method of the Quanzhen lineage of Taoism, and the requirements are not low." Murong Ji's face looked much better, and he continued, "How about this."

"How about you discard the skills you have been practicing now, sense your energy again, and practice my skills step by step with your feet on the ground again?"

"Of course, one's aptitude is innate. It is up to you to decide how far you can cultivate. It is possible to progress very quickly and reach your current level in just one or two months."

"It's also possible that, like your previous experience, you will never make any progress in your life. The deadline is until you leave the cave."

Liu Dang was stunned, his face full of confusion and hesitation. He looked at Ma Xianhong, then at Murong Ji, wanting to say something, but Murong Ji didn't even look at him.

Murong Ji gestured with his hand, and Ma Xianhong sat opposite Murong Ji. "It's not that I'm being harsh, but your stove is just a piece of junk."

"Let's not talk about anything else. If you want to reach the sky in one step, where will the energy come from?" Murong Ji turned over two cups and poured water for Ma Xianhong.

He continued, "Let alone other things, you can't even solve the energy problem, let alone achieve success overnight."

"Energy is conserved. If you want to allow the person who enters the furnace to ascend to heaven in one step, you need a huge amount of energy."

Ma Xianhong deeply agreed with this. After seeing Murong Ji's Qi formation, he also discovered the limitations of the self-cultivation furnace.

"I want to use Qimen magic as the energy source for the self-cultivation furnace. Unfortunately, I don't understand Qimen formations. It may not be easy to find a suitable place."

Murong Ji frowned slightly and suddenly asked, "Was it Qu Tong who suggested you build the self-cultivation furnace?"

"Well, what's wrong? Didn't my sister tell you?"

Murong Ji had a slight smile on his face. After arriving at Biyou Village and meeting Qu Tong, he had a feeling that Qu Tong seemed to have seen a self-cultivation furnace, a perfect self-cultivation furnace!

She firmly believed in the existence of the self-cultivation furnace. Even if I told her that the perfect self-cultivation furnace could not exist, she never questioned it.

[Could it be that Duanmu Ying left something behind?] Just like what he left for Jiang Beibei, this method was left behind by her.

Murong Ji glanced at Liu Dang and saw that he was still kneeling, constantly hesitating and struggling.

He turned to look at Ma Xianhong and said in a deep voice: "No, don't ask me to build that furnace. I'm not interested."

Ma Xianhong felt a little headache. He was rejected before he could even say anything. Murong Ji's weapon refining skills were obviously much higher than his. "Sister also hopes that the self-cultivation furnace will be released. You..."

Murong Ji shook his head again. Compared to the self-cultivation furnace, he was more concerned about the formation. If the thirty-six thieves had discovered something in Tongtian Valley, what those eight people had learned from it...

In short, it is closely related to the terrain there. When he was in the Tianlong world, he built Tongtian Valley. After thousands of years, no one can tell what effect it has had, or what changes have occurred.

He guessed that the Tongtian Valley in this world had also become... unpredictable.

Ma Xianhong sighed lightly, and did not force it. He looked at Liu Dang and asked, "This man has a good character. Will you accept him?"

Murong Ji shook his head, "He is too greedy and has a bad character. One day he will cause a disaster."

Ma Xianhong was somewhat reluctant and frowned, saying, "It's the same old 'only the most accomplished can pass it on' thing again. Don't you think that's unfair?"

"People with talent will rise to the top! People without talent will just rot in the mud!"

Murong Ji's face darkened, and he said coldly: "Appearance has nothing to do with a person's character! Ma Xianhong taught him skills, so those who die in his hands in the future should die!"

"If I teach him the skills and methods, and he practices honestly, there will be no problem. When Master Tongtian came back from Zixiao Palace, he warned his disciples: Close the cave door tightly, recite three or two volumes of Huangting quietly; go to the West, and be a famous person on the Conferred God List."

"As a result, they all left one by one. Whether it was a plot or a seduction, tell me, can Liu Dang endure the loneliness?"

Ma Xianhong sighed and walked out of the cave. When he passed by Liu Dang, he grabbed his shoulder and shouted coldly, "Don't even think about it! I don't think highly of you!"

Having said that, he dragged him out of the cave.

"Hey? Old Ma, what are you doing..." Wang Ye's voice came from outside the cave. "Humph!"

Then the sound of footsteps began. "Why does it feel like I took some choking medicine..."

"Oh, Brother Murong, it's not easy for you to stop refining your weapon. I've come here three or five times, and finally I saw you have some free time."

Murong Ji washed Ma Xianhong's cup, then picked up a new cup and placed it in front of Wang Ye, "What are you looking for?"

"Zhuge Qing, this troublesome guy, has become one of the twelve top talents, and is also in love with Fu Rong..."

"Isn't that good?"

Wang was a little speechless. "I'm just worried that Zhuge Qing, that bastard, will really be dragged into this."

Qu Tong suddenly walked in with a serious look on his face, then took out his computer and started working.

Wang didn't know what to say. After all, Ma Xianhong and Qu Tong were siblings, and he didn't want to offend them.

"Just talk about it, let's talk about Fenghou Qimen?" Wang Ye took a sip of water, "I've wanted to talk to you for a long time, but I never had the chance."

Murong Ji nodded. He knew what Wang Ye wanted to ask, which was nothing more than Fenghou Qimen and Tai Chi.

Then he said calmly: "Someone recently showed me Journey to the West, saying something about a restless mind and a pig with kidney water. I will also use the words from Journey to the West to explain it."

Wang Ye looked at Qu Tong awkwardly. Somehow, Zhuge Qing's words about guiding people to practice had spread throughout the village. Now it had become a hobby of their couple?
"When Bodhi Patriarch went on stage to preach, he saw that Wukong could recognize wonderful sounds, and he knew that his worldly mind had left him, his mind on Taoism was firm, and the time had come to pass on the Dharma."

"What did he say? He said: There are 360 ​​side doors in the Dao door, and all the side doors have positive results."

"What is the right result? Practicing the Tao and attaining enlightenment is the right result. No matter what level you practice to, there will be a result."

"Moreover, these 360 ​​side doors are divided into four categories: technique, flow, stillness, and movement. In the technique door, there are some methods of asking the gods to help with the spirits, asking for divination, and casting yarrow stalks to know the principles of seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster."

"In the Liuzi sect, there are Confucianists, Buddhists, Taoists, Yin-Yangists, Mohists, and doctors. Some read scriptures, some chant Buddha's name, and some worship the true saints."

"In the Jing Sect, one must rest and guard the grain, be quiet and do nothing, meditate, abstain from speech and fast, or practice sleeping skills, or practice standing skills, and enter into meditation and seclusion."

"In the realm of movement, there is action and creation, such as taking yin to replenish yang, climbing a bow and stepping on a crossbow, rubbing the navel to invigorate the qi, using prescriptions to prepare medicine, burning grass and beating a cauldron, taking red lead, refining autumn stone, and taking the medicine of women."

"Let's talk about 'side door' first. The word 'side' is very important. It means to go around in circles, to learn by analogy. A roundabout way can also lead to the main road."

"So is there a 'main school'? No." Murong Ji exhaled slowly, "These four categories almost cover all the methods of cultivation. It would be a joke if anyone called himself a 'main school' or 'orthodox'."

"Let's not talk about anything else. In Chinese medicine, all prescriptions are called 'side prescriptions'. The essence of Chinese medicine is to treat side prescriptions with side prescriptions. So is there a 'main prescription'?"

"No!" Murong Ji took a sip of water and continued, "It is called a 'side door' because the cognition of living beings is limited. They cannot see the vastness of the Great Dao. They can only contact the 'Dao' little by little like a toad at the bottom of a well."

Wang Ye nodded and glanced at Qu Tong. He found that she was also listening and sighed helplessly. This was not a talk for him, this was a sermon for Sister Qu.

"In this world, there is no medicine that can cure all diseases. There is no method that can lead everyone to the great way."

"Hey, Murong Ji, your point is very obvious. Why don't you just say that the self-cultivation furnace cannot be completed?" Wang Ye stood up, waved his Taoist robe, and walked towards the cave entrance.

"Oh, really, this Biyou Village is so boring. Lao Qing is in love, and you guys are showing off your affection. I'm so lonely! There's no one to talk to..."

Murong Ji: "..."

Seeing Wang Ye walk out, Murong Ji was too lazy to pay attention to him. Seeing that Qu Tong didn't look like he could finish it in a short time, he sorted out the materials and planned to re-refine the magic weapons in his hands to improve their quality.

"Hubby, you still remember the dean of Flamel Academy and his disciples whom we met on Mount Longhu, right?"

Murong Ji thought about it for a moment and remembered who those two people were. "Well, what happened?"

"They are dead!"

Murong Ji was stunned, a little stunned. That dean was not much lower than the old Taoist priest! That middle-aged man was almost as powerful as himself, and he died just like that? ! !
"The alien circles in Europe are much more complicated than ours. They not only include countries, positions, economies, chaebols, etc. The relationships between aliens also radiate to the whole world."

"The Flamel Academy is like the current Longhu Mountain. It has ideas and believers, and its influence is much greater than that of Longhu Mountain."
