"Xiao Yun'er, what are you drawing?"

An Yun lowered his head and looked at the pattern drawn in front of Sun Lingyun. This pattern is not unusual, it is just a picture of nine palaces. But what is unusual is that this is not a commonplace nine-palace diagram, this is a nine-palace diagram from ancient times. The composition of the lines and the connections within them are far more complex and profound than the current nine-palace diagram.

"Qimen Dunjia." Sun Lingyun looked up at her and said.

"Do you know Qimen Dunjia?" An Yun said curiously.

"The Nine Palaces are the earth, the gossip is the sky, and it is for Qimen Dunjia." He stood up like a teacher, put his hands behind his back and said, "Qi refers to the three odds, namely B, C, and D. The door refers to the eight gates, opening, resting, life, injury, Du, scenery, death, and shock. Dunjia is worthy of being the first to escape into Liuyi in Liujia. If you don't understand, you won't understand how I explain it to you. ”

An Yun smiled dumbly, as a formation grandmaster, she hadn't heard anyone talk to her like this for a long time. Qimen Dunjia is a saying in ancient times and even in ancient times, and it is also the foundation of formations and formations, and the history is far older than formations and formations. However, because Qimen Dunjia is too complicated, it is not only difficult to learn, but also not easy to master, and then formations and magic formations will appear. In particular, the formation has spread to almost the entire monastic world, and has almost become a compulsory Dao method for monks.

On the contrary, Qimen Dunjia gradually disappeared in the monastic world, and over time, there are not many people in the monastic world today who will still be Qimen Dunjia. But An Yun is willing, or every monk who has studied the formation to a certain level must first be proficient in Qimen Dunjia, because this is the foundation of the formation. If you want to study the formation thoroughly, you must first be proficient in the operation of Qimen Dunjia and understand the laws and rules in it.

"Oh, that's why I asked because I didn't understand. If you understand, tell me. An Yun deliberately teased him.

Sun Lingyun scratched his head, feeling a little distressed: "I don't know how to tell you, this is very complicated." ”

An Yun smiled: "That's it, then I'll ask you." Do you know Vena? ”

"Vena?" Sun Lingyun was stunned. said: "You're talking about turtle books, right?" The turtle comes out of Luoshui, and there is an image on its carapace, and its structure is to wear nine shoes and one, three on the left and seven on the right. Two or four for the shoulder. Six or eight is enough. Centered in five. This is the source of the oldest Yin and Yang Five Elements Technique. It seems simple, but the turtle book is broad and profound, and no one has been able to fully understand the truth in it. ”

A hint of surprise flashed in An Yun's eyes. Sun Lingyun didn't think it was strange that she knew about Luoshu, how could someone who could even tell a thing or two about Qimen Dunjia not know Luoshu? She was just surprised that he knew that Luo Shu was profound and profound, not as simple and transparent as it seemed, and for his age, such an understanding was very unbelievable. Because An Yun could see from his expression that he didn't say that casually, but really felt that Luo Shu was extremely profound and mysterious.

"Vena is the Great Dao, and you can also understand it as the Heavenly Dao. The way of heaven is balance, checks and balances, the law of heaven and earth, and the law of the five elements of yin and yang. Ordinary people think that Vena is simple, and it is also right, because the way of heaven is minimalist, the sun rises and the moon sets, the tide comes and goes, light and darkness alternate, and water and fire are mutually reinforcing. However, the Heavenly Dao is extremely profound and complex, even if it is a cultivator, how many people can understand it? Throughout the ages, if you can see through the Heavenly Dao, you can shatter the void and ascend. ”

An Yun's face was serious, and he said to Sun Lingyun in a serious tone: "Xiao Yun'er, you can't read Luoshu, because you are still a mortal, the pattern is too small, and you are in the deep mountains, where can you get a glimpse of the size of the whole mountain?" Just as the world that ants can see is never as big as the world that we humans can see, and the world that we humans can see will never be as wide as the eagle in the sky. The so-called summer insect language ice is that the Tao is different and does not conspire with each other. Xiao Yun'er, let me ask you, do you want to see farther? ”

"What is an eagle? What is an ant again? Sun Lingyun asked curiously.

"......" An Yun paused, forgetting that those animals could not be seen on this ghost island, Sun Lingyun had never seen these animals, and her analogy was completely useless.

"This is not the point, the point is, Xiao Yun'er, do you want to cultivate?" She asked again.

Sun Lingyun blinked and looked at her, as if he was thinking, and only after a while did he open his mouth and ask in a low voice, "Landlord, what is the Tao?" ”

What is Tao?

This question instantly stopped An Yun, who had cultivated in two lives, but she didn't know how to answer this question, and she never seemed to have seriously thought about it.

In the monastic world, it is very rare for a monk to ask another monk the question "What is the Tao?", and once someone asks such a question, it means that the other person wants to ask you for advice, and it is the kind of advice that comes from life and death.

This is the so-called "Battle of the Avenue"!

Since it is a monastic, it doesn't matter if the monk knows what his "way" is, his own "way" has always existed since the first day of his monasticism, and he may not be able to say it, but he must be able to know it vaguely.

In other words, to put it simply, the least point of "Dao" is persistence, and each person's "Dao" is different, so naturally they will adhere to it differently.

The "Great Avenue Dispute" between the monks pointed directly to the heart, and it looked very elegant, but it was ten thousand times more dangerous than the fighting method. What is your "Tao"? You name it, and the other person will evaluate it. If the other party recognizes your "Dao", then it is equivalent to abandoning the "Dao" that he has always insisted on, and the Daoji will collapse, and he will go mad and even die. Your "Dao" is caught by the other party, and then your mind is shaken by words, so that you realize that the "Dao" you have been insisting on is wrong, and the same Dao Ji collapses, and then you die.

Therefore, the "Great Dao Dispute" is the most dangerous, and it has nothing to do with the level of the monk's realm, but only whether the "Dao" things in his heart are persistent enough.

This is the difference between a decent monk and an evil monk, that is, because they have different paths with each other, they hate each other and fight each other, and there is no reason to speak of it. Either good or evil. Either good or evil, there is no middleman. It's like between black and white, you can only choose one side, and there is no gray area for you to occupy.

The righteous monastic community calls the cult monks the devil, and the cult monks call the decent monks hypocrites. The two sides have argued from ancient times to the present day. When they met, they fought, but they never came up with a right or wrong.

So between monks, almost no one asks each other what is the "Tao"? Even if you ask, the other party will not answer easily. It was a taboo among monks, and few would break it.

However, this taboo was easily asked by Sun Lingyun, and those clear and flawless eyes, as if reflecting the cleanest sunlight, shone into An Yun's heart.

An Yun fell silent, she didn't know how to answer Sun Lingyun, and she wouldn't answer him. He had not yet begun monasticism. If he told his "way". In the future, he will inevitably consciously or unconsciously ponder her "Tao", thus losing his own "Tao". If a monk doesn't have his own "way", is that still called a monk's way?

An Yun raised his hand and touched his head, and said with a smile: "Xiao Yun'er." I can't tell you what the Tao is. It's up to you to find the answer yourself. No one will be able to answer you. But one thing I can tell you is that the Tao is first of all persistence, and secondly, persistence. In the end, I persisted. You must keep these three points firmly in mind and never forget them. ”

Sun Lingyun didn't know why she spoke to him so seriously, and she might not understand the meaning of An Yun's words, but she still nodded vigorously and promised loudly: "Don't worry, landlord, I will definitely remember it in my heart and never forget it." ”

"Okay, would you like to cultivate with me?" An Yun asked again.

Sun Lingyun nodded and replied affirmatively: "I am willing." Landlord, I am willing to follow you in cultivating. I know that our ancestors were all cultivators, they were omnipotent in heaven and earth, and they had great powers to kill demons and evil spirits, and I also wanted to cultivate the Tao. I used to tell Grandpa Mu, but now there is no one in our village who knows how to cultivate, so no one teaches me. The landlord is willing to teach me, of course I want to learn. When I learn the Taoist technique, I will be able to protect the village, and I will even take everyone away, Grandpa Mu said that leaving this island is the only way out for us. ”

"Okay, Sun Lingyun, kneel down and apprentice. From now on, you are my second disciple of An Yun. After being a teacher, I will pass on the way of your formation, I hope you can refrain from self-denial and simplicity, don't fall into the evil path on the road of cultivation, uphold your heart, and get to the city as soon as possible. An Yun stood in front of him with his hands in his hands, his expression was serious, and his tone was serious.

Sun Lingyun knelt down without thinking about it: "Disciple Sun Lingyun visited the master and carefully followed the master's lessons. ”

When the bearded macaque saw Sun Lingyun kneeling down to worship An Yun, his big eyes turned around a few times, and he also learned from Sun Lingyun's appearance, knelt beside him, and buckled his head a few times at An Yun. Then it sat on the ground, slapped its hands on the ground, and giggled.

An Yun smiled slightly, helped Sun Lingyun up, and after arriving at Funiu Island, his mood improved a little for the first time. In her past and present lives, she had actually been looking for a successor to inherit her formation attainments and pass on her formation powers.

Especially after being reborn, An Yun attaches great importance to this matter. In her previous life, because of her accidental death, she didn't have time to find a successor for her formation supernatural powers, which made her feel very regretful when she thought about it. Now that she has been reborn again, she categorically can't let the regrets of her previous life be staged again.

An Yun didn't really want to accept apprentices, but because most of her formation supernatural powers were learned from an unknown cave in ancient times, and the owner of that cave mansion obviously hoped that his formation could be passed on forever and carried forward. Since An Yun has inherited the other party's formation mastery, he should naturally fulfill the other party's expectations and pass on the formation magic power of this vein, which is unique in the cultivation world.

It's a pity that she hasn't found a successor who has spirituality and comprehension in the formation, for the way of the formation, there is no spirituality and comprehension, just as Sun Lingyun just said, 'If you understand, you understand, I don't know how to say it to make you understand'. This is the way the formation is, everything depends on understanding, and a monk with understanding can understand it at one point, and a monk without understanding will still not be able to master it no matter how hard he practices for a long time.

The ways of formation that An Yun learned were all first-class formation masters, whether it was a chain formation or a formation within a formation, as well as her self-created rune formations, each of which required a strong understanding to understand, so it was especially impossible to force the disciples who inherited her formation mastery.

This time when she came to Funiu Island, she unexpectedly met Sun Lingyun, and found that his comprehension of the formation was even stronger than her, and she didn't know anything about the gossip of the Nine Palaces at his age. Seeing the talent, An Yun couldn't help but be overjoyed, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It's really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.

"Xiao Yun'er, tell the master, who taught you your Qimen Dunjia?" An Yun was happy in his heart, and his speech softened a little.

"Master, no one taught me Qimen Dunjia." Sun Lingyun said.

An Yun was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "How is it possible?" It's not that she doesn't believe in Sun Lingyun, but that the technique of Qimen Dunjia is different from the Four Books and Five Classics in the mortal world, as long as you read it a few times, you can always slowly understand the truth in it. The art of Qimen Dunjia is extremely profound, and if no one takes it with you, you can't even understand what the symbol means.

"Grandpa Mu taught me to read and write, but Grandpa Mu didn't know how to cultivate, and the rest of the village couldn't either, so no one taught me. Later, when Grandpa Mu saw that I was depressed, he took me into an old house, which was full of books, and told me that these were all secret techniques left by my ancestors, and now no one in the village could understand them, so I let me read them casually. Sun Lingyun explained.

"Oh? A room full of exercise cheats? How many? An Yun's eyes lit up and sparkled.

"The room is big and there are a lot of books." Sun Lingyun replied.

"You've seen it all?" An Yun asked.

"No, I've only read books like Qimen Dunjia, and I haven't had time to read the others yet."

"Okay." An Yun thought for a while and asked, "I wonder if I can go in and have a look?" ”

"Yes." Sun Lingyun replied briskly.

An Yun smiled: "You can't be the master of this matter, these are the exercises and cheats left by your ancestors, and they are the foundation of your inheritance, and they will not be shown to others easily." If I want to see it, I need your Grandpa Mu's consent. ”

Sun Lingyun smiled: "Master, you are too worried. When you came out, Grandpa Mu told me that if you want to read those books, you can read them at will, without his consent. Not only the books, but anywhere in the village, you can come and go as you please, and you can do whatever you want. ”

An Yun was slightly startled, and glanced at Mu Cangsheng's courage, this old man was not a pedantic person.

"In that case, then Xiao Yun'er will take me to have a look, I want to find out, maybe I can gain something."

"Yes, master, please come with me." Sun Lingyun said, taking An Yun's hand and walking towards the deepest bamboo building. (To be continued......)
