Chapter 4: Tianyun Dao Observation and Swordsmanship

"Whew, it's finally here" Bai Yu looked at the Taoist temple in front of him and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Walking into the Taoist temple, it looked lush and green, in contrast to the ice and snow outside, "Is there anyone?" Bai Yu shouted but no one responded, Bai Yu walked to the lobby, an old man with fairy wind and bones sat in the center, and in front of him were enshrined the three immortals of "Void Nature, Da Luo, Sanqing, Three Realms, Three Treasures, and Heavenly Venerables".

"You're here," the old man said with his eyes closed, "senior, do you know me?" Bai Yu asked, "I have some friendship with your father," the old man said.

"You go and help me fill the water tank now," said the old man without replying, and Bai Yu did as he could, although he was a little dissatisfied.

The road is very difficult to walk, only a few stone paved pavement white feathers to fill the water constantly back and forth, tired sweat flow, but the water tank is only half full.

"Heh, sure enough, it's still a person with fine skin and tender meat who can't endure hardship, if you can't pick it, forget it" The old man sneered, "Don't look down on people" Bai Yu gritted his teeth and insisted, constantly carrying water back and forth.

Unconsciously, it was already afternoon, the water tank was finally full, Bai Yu was tired and sat on the ground, his hands and feet were sore, the old Taoist priest came out and looked at Bai Yu sitting on the ground, "Now go and pour the vegetables."

"Why?" Bai Yu asked, "If you are dissatisfied, you can leave" The old Taoist priest was expressionless, Bai Yu could only grit his teeth and insist, and went to the vegetable garden to water it.

Unconsciously, at night, the moon stars are scarce, the breeze is not dry, looking at the white feathers of the tree in front of him suddenly excited, he obviously felt the wind but the leaves in front of him did not move at all.

He felt a chill down his spine, "It seems that you are not stupid" The voice of the old Taoist priest came, but he couldn't see anyone, "Senior, where are you?" Bai Yu looked around.

"Operate your soul power" The voice came again, and Bai Yu's soul went out of his body, and he saw that the old Taoist priest was in front of him and it turned out to be a soul form.

"Senior, you..."Bai Yu's eyes widened and he was very surprised, "This feeling is really him" The old Taoist priest looked at Bai Yu.

"It's... Senior, what are you talking about, why can't I understand?" Bai Yu was puzzled, and the old Taoist priest looked at Bai Yu, "You must want to know how I know how to refine souls," Bai Yu nodded.

"Just like you" the old Taoist priest's eyes were complicated, and Bai Yu was even more surprised, "I used to be poor and about to die, but that senior saved me and taught me to cultivate my soul," the old Taoist priest explained.

Bai Yu nodded, "Is that senior still there?" The old Taoist priest asked with some expectation, "That senior has become a god, but, he is dead" Bai Yu replied, and the two sides fell into a short silence.

"Alas, I didn't expect that the god would die," the old Taoist priest smiled bitterly, "Originally, that kid from Baiye asked me to protect you, but as soon as you entered here, I felt that your soul power was very strong, and it had his breath."

"Then why did you ask me to fetch water and water the vegetables?" Bai Yu still said suspiciously, "I use illusion to probe you, but your soul power is very strong, so you must be tired to fall into my illusion" The old Taoist priest explained Bai Yu's confusion.

"Since you can also cultivate souls but don't seem to use soul attacks, since you are here, I will teach you, it can be regarded as the kindness of your predecessors, and this can be regarded as our fate," the old Taoist priest said.

Bai Yu looked at the old Taoist priest, "Soul attack? "The illusion I just used is a kind of soul attack, which smashes people's souls," the old Taoist priest touched his beard and said.

"Uhhh It doesn't look very good," Bai Yu said, "What? not very good, if it weren't for that senior who strengthened your soul, and now your soul power is about the same as mine, I would have made you fall into an illusion with one look," the old Taoist priest said dissatisfiedly.

"Yes, I know that your old man is powerful, hurry up and hand over my soul attack" Bai Yu said with a smile, Bai Yu glanced at Bai Yu "Look at it" The old Taoist priest took out a sword, and the sword suddenly flew up.

"This is called soul possession, which can be attached to weapons or creatures," the old Taoist priest said, "Now the soul is in place," the old Taoist priest said.

The souls of the two are in place, now I will teach you to use the sword in the entity, the old Taoist priest took out two swords, one sword flew out, the old Taoist priest took the other sword, and the sword that flew out continued to surround the old Taoist priest, echoing the sword in his hand.

"This is called distraction," the old Taoist priest said, so he threw the two swords to Bai Yu, "You separate a part of your soul into one of the swords, remember to integrate it rather than possess it."

Bai Yu tried to separate a part of his soul, because his soul power was similar to that of the old Taoist priest, and he also mastered it quickly.

One of the swords flew up, and Bai Yu felt that he was the sword, and that sword was him, as if it had become a part of his body.

"Hmm" the old Taoist priest nodded with satisfaction, "It's not difficult" Bai Yu said, the old Taoist almost fell down, Bai Yu saw this and said with a smile, "Of course it's your old teaching", "It's about the same" The old Taoist priest said.

Although they didn't talk for long, Bai Yu knew that this old man was the kind of person with a knife mouth, a tofu heart, and a little childlike heart.

The old Taoist priest turned around and said, "Let's go", Bai Yu followed, and came to the water tank that carried water today, the water was dark green, "This is?" Bai Yu pointed and asked, "If you can't cultivate, then you can only take the path of forging your body, this medicinal liquid is refined by Long Yin Mu Xin, which can improve your physique, but forging your body is very painful, you can give up if you can't hold on," the old Taoist priest said.

Bai Yu jumped in directly without saying a word, the old Taoist priest nodded when he saw this, it was very cold when he just entered, but it was getting hotter and hotter, constantly penetrating Bai Yu's internal organs, "Ah!" Bai Yu cried out in pain.

Bai Yu's green muscles burst out, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted, he was fed up with the days of being ridiculed, although he had a soul cultivation, he couldn't use it at will.

After the severe pain, there was a feeling of relief that penetrated the heart, and Bai Yu fell asleep deeply.

When I woke up, it was already dawn, "Strange, why didn't I go to that place?" Bai Yu looked around, and the old Taoist priest came over, "Put on your clothes and follow me down the mountain."

Bai Yu put on his clothes and combed up, and the old Taoist priest threw over two swords, the sword body was not made of gold and iron, but it was extremely hard, "This is the dragon sword made of the dragon yin wood for ten thousand years, and the dragon yin wood heart is from the same source" The old Taoist priest walked over.

"Thank you, senior," Bai Yu bowed.

The two walked down the mountain and came to a dense forest, and the old Taoist priest turned around, "Although you can be distracted now, you don't know how to swordsmanship, I will pass on your swordsmanship now, look at it."

The old Taoist priest took out two swords and danced, the sky suddenly covered the sun, and there was a slight rain in the air, Bai Yu's eyes were a little fluctuating, and suddenly the rain stopped Bai Yu saw that the old Taoist's sword had been raised in front of his neck.

"This...."Bai Yu exclaimed, "This is the Phantom Rainbow Falling Rain Sword Technique that combines illusion and distraction, and the raindrops are illusions, which shake people's hearts" The old Taoist priest put away his sword and stood.

The old Taoist priest said again: "Your soul power is about the same as mine, and it shouldn't be too difficult to comprehend," Bai Yu comprehended the "Phantom Rainbow Falling Rain Sword Technique" after a while.

"Yes, you have comprehended the potential, but the power is not great, and now you are ready to comprehend the illusion," the old Taoist priest said.

"But how can I comprehend illusions?" Bai Yu asked, "You don't have to worry about this" The old Taoist priest took out a bunch of drawings with various scenes on them, "These are illusion diagrams, you memorize them all, and then use the power of the soul to cover up the scenery of heaven and earth, and then replace these scenes into it."

After a while, the sky became gloomy and it rained lightly, "Yes, it seems that your understanding is not bad, I have nothing to teach you, go back."

Bai Yu didn't speak, just bowed "Thank you, seniors", "Do you know why I didn't teach you others?" , "The juniors don't know," Bai Yu replied.

"Because, that's all I can do" The old Taoist priest was a little embarrassed, and Bai Yu was speechless.

"The power of the soul is ever-changing, and what we have learned is only the skin, and you will have to comprehend it yourself in the future, and your father asked you to come to me because he didn't want you to get involved in the battles of the court."

Bai Yu looked at the old Taoist priest silently, "I know, seniors say goodbye."

At this time, Bai Yu stood at the foot of the mountain and carried two dragon swords, but his face was a little helpless, he was wearing the robe that the old Taoist priest gave him, and the old Taoist priest said to keep a thought, but the robe was a little shabby by his sewing and repair.

Bai Yu smiled helplessly, "I didn't expect to go back again not long after I first came," but his eyes gradually became firm, "But, I'm not the same person I used to be."
