Chu Zhuang, in his forties, was thin and white-faced, with long hair and a shawl, wearing a wide gray-white robe with a gray-black belt loosely tied around his waist. He didn't live in this hidden village, and he lived alone on the cliff next to the village.

The deep valley where the hidden village is located is surrounded by stones, the wall stands thousands of feet, on the edge of one of the cliffs, there is a flat land dozens of zhang high from the ground, a vigorous old pine grows on the flat ground, and Chuzhuang has built a thatched house under this pine. Occasionally, grandpa would go to Uncle Chu to discuss things, but he never brought Yu Wenlei over.

Once, Yu Wenlei was curious and secretly followed his grandfather to see how he got up to that flat land, and he was found by his grandfather halfway through and scolded him back, which added to Yu Wenlei's curiosity about the so-called Uncle Chu.

Yu Wenlei and Chu Zhuang had only one conversation, that was in late autumn last year, Yu Wenlei went hunting in the mountains, and happened to meet Chu Zhuang collecting medicine in the mountains.

Yu Wenlei walked up and shouted, "Uncle Chu." Chu Zhuang saw that it was him, touched his head, and sang: "There is a pearl, my heart is like a mirror." The pearl is beautiful, and the jade is also bright. Yu Wenlei didn't know what he meant, and Chu Zhuang didn't explain, so he turned around and left.

Now that Grandpa suddenly asked Yu Wenlei to find the strange man in Chu Zhuang, the young man's face was full of surprise: "Grandpa, are you sure you're talking about Uncle Chu who lives under the cliff pine tree?"

"Stinky boy, in addition to your Uncle Chu, there are a few people surnamed Chu in our secret village!" Yu Wentian asked.

Yu Wenlei scratched his head, thought for a while, and said, "It's true that he is surnamed Chu." ”

"That's right, it's him, go quickly, it's too late to guess he's not at home." Grandpa suddenly became anxious and urged Yu Wenlei to leave quickly.

Yu Wenlei couldn't, grabbed the piece of paper on the table, put it in his arms, and hurriedly ran out of the house. "You can use the Wind Charm one last time, just use it, or you won't be able to go up that cliff. Grandpa's voice came from behind him.

Grandpa's words reminded Yu Wenlei, he urged the wind control talisman, drove the whirlwind, said goodbye to his grandfather, and flew towards the cliff where Uncle Chu lived.

This cliff lies in the northwest of the village, about two or three miles away from Yu Wenlei's house, who lives in the southeast of the village, and Yu Wenlei's trip happens to pass diagonally through the entire village in the air.

When he marched to the middle of the village, he glanced down at Liu Sanye's house, wanting to see if Brother Baoshan was practicing martial arts in the courtyard, and inadvertently felt that there seemed to be a black shadow in a certain alley below that disappeared at once.

Yu Wenlei was surprised and decided to go down to see what was going on, so he slowly fell from the air.

This is the third time he has manipulated the Wind Control Talisman, and he has long been familiar with it. He skillfully controlled his true qi, hung more than a foot above the ground, and quickly shuttled through the streets and alleys.

Although there are only a few dozen households in this village, the houses are not neatly built, and most of them are built according to the situation, so they seem to be chaotic, and the roads are like spider webs.

Yu Wenlei searched for a long time and didn't find anything unusual, so he threw a stupid sentence: "Maybe I'm dazzled, maybe it's a wild cat." Forget it, I'd better hurry up and find Uncle Chu. ”

After speaking, he hurriedly urged the wind control charm and headed northwest.

After a long time, a shadow wrapped in a black robe slowly came out from under the path in a certain alley, and the black shadow glanced at the direction before and after, and then disappeared in one direction.

When Yu Wenlei arrived at the cliff where Chu Zhuang lived, Chu Zhuang was pacing under the ancient pine with his hands behind his back, and he kept muttering to himself, as if he was thinking about something.

Yu Wenlei hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and said, "Hello Uncle Chu, grandpa told me to come to you, saying that you will have something important to tell you, this is something that his old man entrusted me to give you." ”

After speaking, he took out the page from his bosom, held it in both hands and handed it over.

Chu Zhuang came back to his senses and saw that it was Yu Wenlei standing in front of him, and he was slightly stunned: "How did you kid come up?"

Yu Wenlei replied honestly: "Grandpa gave me a Wind Control Talisman before, and I have used it twice, and this is the last time I used the Wind Control Talisman to come up." ”

Chu Zhuang nodded slightly, reached out and took the page, put it in his sleeve, and then said: "Your grandfather asked you to come to me, presumably because he has nothing to teach you." In the early years, I wrote down the basic methods of learning physical arts and cultivating the truth on two pieces of paper, one paper for your grandfather, and the other for Liu Baoshan's grandfather, and asked them to teach you according to the above records, and then come back to me after you have completed your studies, and I will tell you how to practice in the future. ”

Yu Wenlei peeked at the arrogant Chu Zhuang, and secretly thought: Could it be that the kung fu of the grandfather and the third grandfather was taught by him?

"Not really, for example, the puppet charm was drawn by your grandfather himself, so come in with me. Chu Zhuang turned around and led Yuwen into the thatched house.

The thatched house is very simple, but there is a table, a chair and a couch, and there are a few futons on the ground, Chu Zhuang casually pointed to a futon and said: "Sit casually, don't be restrained." Yu Wenlei hurriedly bowed, bowed down and sat down, and told Chu Zhuang his earnest intention to practice: "Uncle Chu, please teach me how to practice?"

Chu Zhuang then sat on a futon and said: "Everything in the world follows the law of 'Dao', the essence of the Dao, the essence of the Dao, the darkness, the extreme of the Dao, faint and silent. Now that your soul bead has returned to its place, and you have the Yuan Spirit of Biyu Vine in your body, you can theoretically cultivate the true spirit dually. ”

Yu Wenlei sat quietly on the ground and listened attentively, although he had doubts, he did not dare to interrupt rashly.

Chu Zhuang continued: "Man is the spirit of all things, majoring in true qi, flowers and trees absorbing the essence of heaven and earth and majoring in spiritual energy, and other demons, monsters, ghosts, and demons also have their own cultivation methods.

Among these various cultivation methods, True Qi and Spiritual Qi are the purest, so they are also the easiest targets for other alien species, which are 'Capture the Yuan' and 'Capture the Truth'.

However, the degree of integration of the Truth, Yuan, and the cultivation method itself that was captured was not high, and most of them were eventually consumed, and only one-tenth of them could be transformed into their own method, so it was impossible to form a dual cultivation in this case. ”

"There is only one situation in which dual cultivation can be achieved, and that is symbiosis.

Let's take you as an example, you and Biyouteng have chosen to coexist, the spirit of Biyouteng is in your body, and your soul bead is in the spirit of Biyouteng.

You practice together, rely on each other, and benefit each other, and your true qi and aura can be directly converted, but now your true qi is too weak to transform the aura that Bi Youteng needs. So now it's imperative that you do a good two-step practice in your practice.

The first step is to master the spiritual energy in the body and draw the spiritual runes, and the second step is to expand the dantian and increase the space for storing true qi.

Now that the aura of the Biyu vine is full of your body, you can store your dantian by casually converting a little bit of true qi, just like the water of a river pouring into a small pond, it will fill it up in an instant. ”

Hearing Chu Zhuang's analysis, Yu Wenlei was completely confused, and leaned down to bow: "Thank you Uncle Chu, listening to your words made me pause." ”

"Boy, from today onwards, you can follow me to practice, and I will explain it to you clearly from your grandfather. It was getting late, and Chu Zhuang stood up as he said and went to find the oil lamp. Yu Wenlei thanked him again and again: "Everything is arranged by Uncle Chu!"

"Okay, okay, I'm not a worldly person, these red tapes are avoided, you still call me Uncle Chu. Chu Zhuang put the oil lamp on the desk and reached out to help Yu Wenlei.

At that moment, I only heard a loud "boom" outside, and a firelight rose into the sky, shaking the doors and windows of the thatched house to a "clang" sound, and then a mountain wind blew in, and the oil lamp was extinguished at once.

Chu Zhuang's heart sank, and he secretly screamed "not good", and rushed out with his legs.

Yu Wenlei also quickly stood up and followed closely behind Chu Zhuang. "No, you stay here. Chu Zhuang remembered something, and suddenly turned to Yu Wenlei and said.

Yu Wenlei was just about to answer, but he saw Chu Zhuang's hand like electricity, and a spell of "snap" was pasted on Yu Wenlei's forehead, Yu Wenlei suddenly lost consciousness and lay straight up.

Chu Zhuang covered the door, then took out three charms and pasted them on the door, and then jumped off the cliff and flew towards the village.

The people of Chuzhuang were in the air, looking from a distance, only to see the raging fire in the village, and the black smoke billowed out, reflecting the sky above the village as if it were day.

When he was about to land, Chu Zhuang kicked the rock with both feet, turned over and landed on a tree at the bottom of the cliff, he observed the direction for a while, and threw himself into the woods in front of him with a longitudinal technique.

This forest is the only place for Chu Zhuang to go to the village, so he is very familiar, when his feet just landed on the clearing in the forest, he only heard a cold voice in his ear, "Explosion!" Immediately after, there was a loud bang in the direction of the village, and another pillar of fire rose from the ground, and even this dim forest was bright in an instant.

"What kind of person!" Chu Zhuang shouted, by the light of the fire, he quickly swept around, and when he looked up, suddenly there was a black shadow standing on the top of the cypress tree in front of him, the black shadow was wrapped in a wide black robe all over his body, with a black mask, and he looked indescribably eerie.

Chu Zhuang pointed at the black shadow and shouted: "You set the fire in this secret village, what is your purpose, say it quickly!"

A cold voice seemed to come out of hell: "What we do has nothing to do with you, I wanted to catch a tiger, but I didn't expect a mouse to break in." ”

"Hmph, the despicable villain hiding in the dark corner, eat me!" Chu Zhuang immediately took out a charm and threw it in the air, and then made a gesture with his hand, and the charm turned into a long sword with a clatter, he reached out and grabbed the hilt of the sword, and jumped towards the black shadow.

The shadow did not dodge, but stood there silently. Chu Zhuang's blow was menacing, and when his head fell, just as the sword blade reached the top of the black shadow's head, an invisible resistance blocked Chu Zhuang's downward pressure. Is it an enchantment? Chu Zhuang thought about it and used his wrist at the same time, who knew that Jian Feng would no longer be able to advance an inch.

"Give it back to you!" Sen Sen's voice came from the black robe, and the blocking force suddenly rebounded extremely violently, Chu Zhuang was startled but not confused, his feet kicked towards the black shadow's face, who knew that the force was extremely fast, Chu Zhuang was blocked back as soon as he stretched his legs, and his body flew out like a leaf swept away by the autumn wind.

With a "bang", it slammed into the tree trunk in the distance, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, staining the placket bright red, and then slid straight down from it.

In the village, the fire is unabated, accompanied by the sound of crackling fires, people are noisy, shouting loudly, running back and forth to put out the fire and extinguish the fire.

When Yuwen Tianwen hurriedly came to the center of the village, Liu Sanye's house was completely caught in the fire. Most of the houses in this village are built with tree trunks mixed with thatch, and once they catch fire, it is difficult to save them, but fortunately, Liu Sanye's family and neighbors are relatively scattered, and the surrounding houses are not led.

Yu Wentian was concerned about the safety of the third brother and Liu Baoshan, and shouted: "The third brother" was about to rush into the sea of fire, and the others who were fighting the fire hurriedly pulled him away: "Uncle, there is no one in the third master's family, someone saw that their grandfather and grandson went out of the village in the afternoon, and they have not come back yet." ”

Yu Wentian couldn't help but be stunned, turned around, and saw clearly that it was a middle-aged woman who was holding him, and she was also a family living in the middle of the village, Wu Qiongying, the wife of Orion Meng Xianyue. Yu Wentian's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "His aunt, you said that their grandfather and grandson left the village, is this true?"

Wu Qiongying said quickly: "Uncle, this can still be fake, Xianyue told me personally, in the afternoon he was hunting in the back mountain, and saw Liu Sanye leading the child from Baoshan to the valley mouth in a hurry. At that time, Xianyue still wondered that usually the people in the village came out of the valley early, because only in this way could they rush to Fenglai Town, which was a hundred miles away, before dark, but their grandfather and grandson went out of the valley in the afternoon, which was very strange. Xianyue originally wanted to ask the third master if there was anything important, but he was too far away at that time and had to give up. ”
