Human Shackles

Before Kongming Xianweng received the title of Taishang, his Taoist name was Konggu Zhenren, or Kongguzi.

In Taoism, one's own Dharma name or Tao name is closely related to the method that one practices, that is, I have my own "Tao".

The Taoist name of Kongguzi comes from the four characters "Xian Hua Ruo Gu" in the Tao Te Ching.

The so-called superior virtue is like a valley, whiteness is like humiliation, generosity has no corners, great achievements come late, great sounds are rare, and elephants are invisible.

A true great virtue is like the largest square with no corners to be found. The most valuable utensils always require a long period of hard work before they can be made. The loudest sound has no sound, and the biggest image has no trace.

The "Tao" practiced by Kong Guzi originated from this. It is an empty concept, inheriting the profound meaning of Taoism, and is good at softening all forces, as if they are there and not at all.

After hundreds of millions of years of practice, he has already reached the state of returning to his original nature. His actions and personality are almost the same as those of ordinary people. You will not feel any pressure when you are with him.

Kong Guzi stared at Luo Kai for a while, then laughed and said: "I like to meet people naked. I take off my clothes, come here, take a bath."

Duanmuxu smiled helplessly at Luo Kai, took off his robe first, and stepped naked into the hot spring pool.

Luo Kai hesitated slightly, took off his clothes and walked into the hot spring pool.

Kong Guzi asked again: "What are you ascetics doing? Are you doing what you are doing now?"

Duanmu stood up slightly and said: "Meet the master."

The weapon spirits needed for the Hongmeng Divine Weapon are, at worst, naturally born spirits from mountains, rivers, etc., and the soul essence condensed before is the souls of some wild beasts at the next level, and the ones with lower cultivation levels after birth are not the ones at the next level. Before death, the souls of humans, demons, and beasts were extracted and made into weapon spirits.

Kong Guzi felt a little embarrassed and explained: "This sword comes from the self-transformation binding sky. It was exchanged with the fairies in Guanghan Palace when you participated in Xiao Luo's Dharma Assembly 40,000 years later. It possesses the special effects of ice." , if he wants to use the power of the ice special effects, he has to get along badly with the weapon spirit outside, otherwise it will listen to him, if it breaks, let them come in, you have to rest."

Du Biao quickly put down the wine glass and replied: "I heard it."

As he walked, Duanmu was gradually shrouded in ice fog, and everything within a few hundred meters was covered in hoarfrost. Du Biaoxu had to activate his magic power to resist the invasion of ice power.

The so-called relaxed and happy people always feel emotional about things. Anyone who goes there, looks at the beautiful scenery behind them, and enjoys the comfortable hot springs will relax.

Kong Guzi glared at me: "So the eight of them will always inherit your mantle, but the eight of them are unlucky. You are sensible at this time and accepting them as your disciples is just for the sake of face."

It is a kind of lavender wine with a mellow and rich taste. You will be tipsy immediately before entering the mouth. The wine is less powerful than the one brewed by Rain Master, and it is more delicious.

At the level of Kong Guzi, the art of recognizing people has not yet reached its peak, but I can tell what kind of character Duanmu is at a glance, so I said that Duanmu can inherit my mantle.

Luo Kaixu was stunned, aggrieved that he dared to say anything more.

"Yes, yes." Du Biao said yes repeatedly.

"Ten years?" Du Biao frowned. Ten years is too short for a living body like ours. Any form of practice requires a process of refining, and the physical weakness requires a long time to be strengthened. Ten years A year is enough time for whatever you do.

Kong Guzi babbled for a while, then made a move in the air, and a long sword with shining silver light appeared in his hand, saying: "Master, you always give a greeting gift every time you accept a disciple, so give him the Lone Moon Star." ”

Duanmu followed Luo Kaixu up the mountain holding the long sword that sometimes exuded a cold aura.

Luo Kaixu frowned. He was sure that his master was willing to accept Du Biao as his disciple. How to deal with it would be troublesome. It would be up to someone of his own seniority to accept him. There was really no time left for him.

Luo Kaixu was stunned for a moment, then he hurriedly pulled Duanmu out of the hot spring pool and prostrated himself naked: "Thank you, Master."

Luo Kaixu was a visitor and said with a smile: "Before you go back, find an ice pool and let it go to raise the sword. In particular, try to collect as few water-based spiritual objects as possible. If you have something to do, play the piano less and tell less stories. You have to coax the spirit of the weapon to be happy, so that it will It's a stumbling block for him."

I thought that the white-haired old man seemed to have heard those words from my heart. I glared at Du Biao fiercely and said: "To be successful in life, you must have all the joy. Don't let Jin Zunkong's words to the moon ever be heard."

Duanmu scratched his head. He didn't find weapons for himself, but found a great ancestor. From now on, the tweets outside Xiaoxiao would have so few requirements. Although the weapon spirit of the Quadruple Diagram, King Kong, might not be very noisy at times, it would also So delicate.

Duanmu hurriedly took over the long sword, and felt a bone-chilling coldness in his hand. It felt somewhat similar to the long sword used by Taibo in the Star Core at that time.

"Junior brother is worried that none of the exercises in the sect are said to be passed down by Pan Gu's ancestor who opened up the Four Heavens and Ten Lands. They cannot condense the Hunyuan Qi. That set of exercises is inhumane and can only be practiced by star spirits. , and only star spirits without chaotic attributes can practice. If my junior brother can condense the energy of Hunyuan in ten years, he will definitely be able to save his seat for the sect."

This hot spring water is extraordinary and cold to the touch, but once it touches the human body, it immediately generates a stream of heat that penetrates from the skin and quickly permeates the whole body, creating a sense of comfort.

As expected, he was worthy of being an immortal, and he gave away a Hongmeng Divine Weapon as soon as he made a move. The Hongmeng Divine Weapon was extremely rare in the upper realm, and it was also a rare thing in the lower realm. That Hongmeng Divine Weapon was worth at most tens of thousands. There are ether particles, and there may be no price or market because the output is too much.

"That old man knows how to enjoy himself." Duanmu muttered to himself.

Before he could express his agreement with that sentence, Luo Kaixu said slowly from the side: "Master, the eight of you are quite reserved."

As the saying goes, the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. The lowest "Tao" is closely related to one's own character. Duanmu is more sensitive and melancholic deep down, less sentimental when facing difficulties. Although the changes have not happened quietly in those years, But this is still the case in essence, and that is the main reason why I can practice the Death Star Technique.

Du Biaoxu did not choose to fly up the mountain, but took Duanmu back down the mountain road. While admiring the scenery along the way, he said: "Junior brother Luo, since the master has not confiscated him as his apprentice, you can't say anything about this. In fact, The reason why he is recruited is that your Qingwei sect has no small things to do. In ten years, it will be the day when Tian Yuan talks about Taoism once in ten thousand years. At that time, the ranking of Ren Litian’s Taoism will be determined. At that time, we will need He represents your Qingwei sect to compete for ranking. That ranking is very critical. If it falls out of the bottom ten, the sect will be in ruins within ten thousand years. UU Reading www.uukｎshu.com"

The latter is a rare thing in the pan-universe, the former is becoming more and more common with small poaching, and the former's methods are too blind and cruel, and are expressly prohibited.

Kong Guzi counted with his fingers for a while, and said in deep thought: "Well, you guys don't have that master-disciple relationship. It's because of faults that bad things may happen in the future. He is destined to be lonely and evil. It will harm relatives and friends, and you will be able to protect it, old Taoist. Oh, forget it, it is a blessing or a curse, a curse is avoided or passed..."

Luo Kai couldn't help but lie down. This place was on the edge of a cliff. What he could see behind his eyes was a mountainous landscape with peaks and ridges. The beauty was overwhelming.

"The most wonderful thing in life is to pour wine for the guests." Kong Guzi sighed and waved to the waiters by the hot spring pool. The waiters immediately took off their shirts, leaving only the thin gauze. Holding the wine and stepping heavily into the hot spring pool.

The "Tao" of Kong Guzi is obviously the "sad" type of Tao.

It was obvious that the long sword named Lone Moon Star was very unhappy now and was showing off its power to its new owner.

"Old man, look at him, he is so reserved, he is such a reserved person. Alas, he will inherit your mantle." Kong Guzi sighed and drank the wine glass in one gulp.

In fact, the materials and manufacturing methods of the Hongmeng Divine Weapon are not simple, and the difficulty lies in the scarcity of weapon spirits outside.

"My eldest son, his spirit is weak, and his cultivation is obviously extraordinary. However, he is peaceful inside and out, but there is something sinister inside and out. To be honest, you are too disgusted. That's right, he doesn't have the chaotic attributes of a star spirit. The body is of no use to your Qingwei sect, so you can't accept him as a disciple. In the past, you must guard against arrogance and impetuosity, anger and ignorance, and calm the evil spirit in your heart, otherwise it will be difficult to become a demon." Kong Guzi suddenly said again.
