Chapter 154 Heading to Nine Dragon Island
Chapter 154 Heading to Nine Dragon Island
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for choosing mission three. Please complete the mission as soon as possible! ]
Hearing the system prompt, Luo Shu asked again:
"System, where is Shen Gongbao now?"
[Ding! Shen Gongbao left Kunlun Mountain in anger because of dissatisfaction, and is now in Jiulong Island. ”]
"Hmm? Jiulong Island? Isn't that the place where Lü Yue and the Four Saints of Jiulong Island practiced?"
When Luo Shu heard the name of this place, he was slightly stunned, frowned slightly, and a trace of confusion arose in his heart.
In a moment, Luo Shu changed his mind and his thoughts flowed like water.
Shen Gongbao was a black panther who had attained enlightenment. He was not well received by the people of the Chan sect on Mount Kunlun.
Therefore, Shen Gongbao often traveled and took this opportunity to make friends with many outer disciples of the Jiejiao.
They have similar temperaments and are mostly of the same kind. They get along well with each other and have established a deep friendship.
Luo Shu recalled the record of Shen Gongbao in the book of his previous life, and couldn't help feeling deeply moved.
Especially in the Battle of the Gods, Shen Gongbao's performance was truly impressive.
At that time, Shen Gongbao repeatedly invited disciples of Jiejiao to help, demonstrating his extraordinary connections and communication skills.
"System, is Shen Gongbao currently in Lu Yue's place of practice, or is he gathering with the Four Saints of Jiulong Island?"
Hearing Luo Shu's question, the clear voice of the system echoed in his mind.
[Ding! Shen Gongbao is visiting the Four Saints of Jiulong Island! ]
Luo Shu heard the system's answer and got the specific location of Shen Gongbao, and nodded with satisfaction.
Then, he cut off communication with the system and shifted his attention to reality.
Just as he was thinking about when to set off for Jiulong Island, Yang Jian's voice came from beside him, with a hint of doubt and concern in his voice.
"Master, what are you thinking about? You seem to have been lost in thought for a long time."
Yang Jian asked, his eyes fixed on his master Luo Shu, trying to find the answer on his face.
Luo Shu looked up at Yang Jian, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly:
"I am considering when to go to Jiulong Island."
When the disciples heard Luo Shu's words, they stopped what they were doing and cast doubtful glances at Luo Shu.
Yang Jian spoke first and asked:
"Jiulong Island? What is Master going to do in Jiulong Island?"
His voice revealed curiosity and exploration of the unknown.
As soon as Yang Jian finished speaking, Yuan Hong on the side couldn't help but join in the discussion.
He scratched his head, with a look of confusion on his face:
"Master, you just came back from outside not long ago, why are you going out again? Is there something important?"
At this time, Nezha also came over, holding a steaming roasted pork leg in his hand.
He ate heartily while muttering:
"That's right, Master. With you going back and forth like this, I feel like we disciples are almost being left alone."
He swallowed a big mouthful of meat and continued to complain:
"Every time you go out, we can only practice on our own. Although we can make progress, we always feel like something is missing."
"Can't you stay with us for a while longer and give us some pointers on our practice?"
Before Nezha finished speaking, Luo Shu couldn't help but chuckle.
He put down the teacup in his hand, with a hint of teasing in his eyes:
"What? Do you think I don't care about you? Well, if that's the case, I will personally..."
Luo Shu deliberately paused, making the atmosphere suddenly become tense.
All the disciples held their breath, waiting for his next words.
Then, Luo Shu deliberately emphasized his tone and continued:
"I will personally go to the training grounds and test you! I will see if you have been practicing seriously while I was away."
"If that's the case, then see if you still dare to say that your master has let you go!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of all the disciples instantly fell, as if they had been poured with a bucket of cold water.
They all began to wail, their voices rising and falling, as if they were going to overturn the entire Sky Palace.
"No, Master! You have already reached the realm of Daluo Jinxian, and we haven't even reached Taiyi Jinxian yet. How can we compare?"
Yuan Hong was the first to shout with a sad face. He knew very well that the gap between him and his master was like an insurmountable chasm.
"Yes, Master! Your test is too difficult! How can we pass it?"
Mu Zha also agreed with a bitter face.
Nezha sat down on the ground, holding his head with both hands, wailing:
"It's over, it's over. With my limited skills, how can I possibly fight against Master? This is going to kill me!"
Looking at the disciples wailing one by one, Luo Shu couldn't help but feel a little amused.
So, he deliberately put on a stern face and said in a deep voice:
"Why, you're scared now? Didn't you just say that your master doesn't care about you? Now that your master has decided to test you personally, you're all howling like ghosts and wolves."
Before he finished speaking, his disciples realized their gaffe.
They knew that their reaction just now was indeed a bit extreme.
So, they all shut their mouths and showed embarrassment and shame on their faces.
"I'm sorry, Master, we were wrong."
Yuan Hong was the first to step forward and admit his mistake. He knew that as the eldest brother, he should set a good example for his younger brothers.
"Yes, Master, we were too excited and didn't understand your intention."
Yang Jian also echoed, with a sincere expression on his face.
Nezha scratched his head and laughed:
"Master, I said something wrong, please don't be angry."
The words just now, "Master, with your constant going back and forth, I feel like we disciples are just let loose" came from his mouth.
At this moment, he felt extremely regretful and thought that he was too impulsive.
Seeing his disciples admitting their mistakes one after another, Luo Shu smiled even more.
"Well, it's not a big deal. Since you have admitted your mistakes, I will not pursue it."
Luo Shu waved his hand, signaling his disciples not to be too nervous.
Upon hearing this, the disciples all breathed a sigh of relief and expressions of gratitude appeared on their faces.
However, Luo Shu changed the subject and continued:
"But don't think that this is the end of it. Master said that he would test your recent training results, and this still needs to be done."
"But considering that you may not be ready yet, I decided to postpone the test until I return from Kowloon Island."
Hearing this, Yuan Hong and the others bowed to Luo Shu and said in unison:
"Yes, Master!"
Luo Shu smiled slightly, raised the corners of his mouth, and gently waved his hand, signaling his disciples not to be too restrained.
Then, he spoke slowly, his voice gentle but penetrating:
"The way of cultivation has been 'the master leads you to the door, and the cultivation is up to you' since ancient times."
"I have already passed on the cultivation techniques I have practiced to you, and I have also tried my best to spare time to preach to you and answer your questions."
"But you must know that the true path of cultivation still requires you to understand and comprehend it yourself."
He paused to give his disciples time to digest his words.
Then he continued:
"It is impossible for a teacher to always be by your side to supervise you. You must learn to think independently and explore the true meaning of practice on your own."
“Only in this way can you go further and more steadily on the path of cultivation.”
After Luo Shu finished speaking, the disciples nodded one after another to show that they understood.
They knew that although Master’s words were simple, the profound meaning contained in them was very far-reaching.
Seeing that Yuan Hong and other disciples were listening attentively, with expressions of thought and understanding on their faces, Luo Shu couldn't help feeling relieved.
He nodded slightly, with a satisfied smile on his face, and said in a calm and low voice:
"There is actually no major matter to be dealt with during this trip to Kowloon Island."
"It's just that there are some trivial matters that I need to consult with the Four Saints of Jiulong Island."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Hong and others nodded, indicating that they understood what Master Luo Shu meant.
At this time, Yang Jian stepped forward, bowed, and asked respectfully:
"Master, when will you set off for Jiulong Island?"
After hearing this, Luo Shu nodded slightly, thought for a while, and said softly:
"Let's set off immediately!"
After hearing this, all the disciples showed surprised expressions.
They thought they would have to wait for some time, but they didn't expect that Master would make a decision so quickly.
Luo Shu looked around at the disciples again, his voice gentle but serious:
"You should all practice well in your respective places of practice, and do not slack off. On the path of practice, if you do not make progress, you will regress. Only by perseverance can you achieve success."
He paused, a hint of severity flashed in his eyes:
"When I come back, I will test you thoroughly. If there are any who are slacking off..."
He paused for a moment, a hint of solemnity in his voice, "The Cliff of Repentance is waiting for you."
After hearing this, all the disciples shuddered when they thought of the Cliff of Repentance, and secretly vowed in their hearts that they must practice hard and live up to the expectations of their master.
Seeing this, Luo Shu nodded with satisfaction, turned to look at Xiao Bai beside him, and said:
"Xiaobai, you don't have to go with me to Jiulong Island this time. You should also practice well for a while."
Upon hearing this, Xiaobai bowed and said respectfully:
"Yes, Master!"
In a short moment, Luo Shu had properly arranged all matters on Yufu Mountain.
After Luo Shu had arranged everything about Yufu Mountain, he disappeared from the spot after a flash of white light.
Seeing this, Yuan Hong and the others bowed towards the place where Luo Shu disappeared and said in unison:
"Congratulations, Master!"
The voice was loud and firm, echoing over the empty Sky Palace.
When the sound gradually faded away, Yuan Hong and others began to get busy, carefully cleaning the Cang Qiong Hall.
After cleaning, Yuan Hong and others returned to their respective places of practice.
