Chapter 11: First Enlightenment

"This ......," the monks looked at each other when they heard the man say this.

"So," the man waved his hand impatiently, "none of you should give Lao Tzu a step into the Yihong Courtyard." Otherwise, even if I sell you, I won't be able to make up these 100,000 spirit stones. ”

"Yes, yes, yes..."The people around hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Li Taiyi listened to the words of the monk from Baiyan City, and on the surface he remained silent, but in fact he was even more shocked.

The woman in the Yihong Courtyard was so weird, Li Taiyi felt scared for a while, but fortunately he and Chu Lingyan came to their senses in time, if they were half a step late......

After eating, Li Taiyi took Chu Lingyan back to the room in the guest village.

The room was very spacious, with a large bed leaning against the wall. The fire lit with spiritual power fluttered in the fireplace, emitting a warm red light. A desk and chair were directly opposite the bed against the wall, and daylight from the window was gradually replaced by moonlight.

After Li Taiyi and Chu Lingyan finished washing, Li Taiyi said, "Lingyan?"

"Ah!" Chu Lingyan was taken aback by Li Taiyi, "Brother Taiyi, now... Isn't it... It's a little too early... I'm not ready..."

Her voice gradually lowered, like a mosquito.

"Is it early?" Li Taiyi said with some doubts, "It's not early, it's already old, and I have to get up early tomorrow, so it's time to go to bed." ”

He lifted the corner of the bed and said to Chu Lingyan, "Lingyan, you can sleep alone today, I still have some things." ”

"Huh?" Chu Lingyan asked, "Doesn't Brother Taiyi sleep?"

As soon as Mrs. Li thought of the black-robed monk, the singer of Yihong Courtyard, she suddenly felt extremely stressed. There are a lot of Crouching Tigers, Hidden Dragons in this Nine Dragons Domain, and he has to work hard to cultivate.

"I'm going to stay up all night tonight to practice a peerless discipline, so I shouldn't have time to sleep. ”

"That's right. Chu Lingyan's heart finally fell, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then Brother Taiyi should pay attention to his body, Ling Yan slept first. ”

"Got it. As he spoke, he put down the curtain to cover the fireplace and blew out the oil lamp in the room. Gently walk to the desk, pull out the chair and light a red candle.

Chu Lingyan half-covered her pretty face with a quilt on the bed, quietly looked at Li Taiyi in front of the desk, and a flush surfaced on her face again, and she fell asleep in a haze.

Li Taiyi took out the Taoist book "Book of Changes" from Old Man Li from the ring, opened it and looked at it carefully.

"I Ching" is an immortal masterpiece written by an emperor in the primeval era who gathered the strengths of all the sons and hundreds of schools. It contains many unique learnings such as alchemy array, yin and yang divination, etc., including "Lianshan", "Returning to Tibet", and "Zhou Yi". But after the alternation of epochs, "Lianshan" and "Returning to Tibet" have been lost in the long river of time, and even the only remaining "Zhou Yi" has many vacancies.

However, Li Taiyi believes that it is best to make mistakes, and always blindly following the ideas of his predecessors is not conducive to cultivation. If you can realize what is wrong with yourself under the guidance of your predecessors and inject your own understanding, you can truly implement the avenue.

"It is easy to have Tai Chi, which is to give birth to two rituals, two rituals to give birth to four elephants, and four elephants to give birth to gossip. ”

Li Taiyi carefully experienced the avenue of heaven and earth hidden between the lines of Taoist calligraphy, and drew his own experience with the sea as the paper and the soul as the pen.

"Tai Chi gives birth to two instruments. Li Taiyi murmured softly.

In Li Taiyi's sea of knowledge, there is yin and yang energy coming from nothingness and slowly blending. Slowly separated from two wisps of black and white qi, swirling and intertwining.

"Two rituals give birth to four elephants. ”

The interweaving and rotation of the two wisps of breath from slow to fast, fused together in the retrograde and backward again and again, forming a perfect circle pattern of two pieces of magatama combined, and the power of yin and yang is divided into two sides, and there is yin in yang, and yang in yin. Yin and Yang each have a little origin, which is combined into Yin and Yang, Yang Yang, Yang Yin, Yin Yin. It is for the young yang, the sun, the less yin, the too yin, and the four elephants are primordial.

"Four elephants give birth to gossip. ”

Shaoyang, the sun, the Shaoyin, and the Taiyin continue to evolve into Zhoutian, Heaven and Earth, Wind and Thunder, Water and Fire, and Mountains and Ze are born in them, and become Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, and Dui Eight Phase Bagua.

"There is a Mao in the earthquake palace, there is a noon in the palace, there is a unitary in the palace, and there is a son in the Kan Palace. Li Taiyi tapped his fingers on the table, and calculated over and over again in his heart, "Qiangong Wuhai, Kungong Weishen, Gengong Chouyin, Xungong Chensi." ”

A picture of the Nine Palaces Bagua gradually formed in Li Taiyi's sea of knowledge, running back and forth.

"Four elephants give birth to gossip ......" Li Taiyi frowned, looking at the blank space on "Zhou Yi", "Giving birth to gossip ......"

With the operation of the Nine Palaces Bagua Diagram in the Sea of Knowledge, time passed slowly, and a small beam of morning light was cast through the window, sprinkled on the blank space of "Zhou Yi" in front of Li Taiyi.

"Day and night..."Li Taiyi frowned and stared at the morning light: "Day and night... Day and night......"

In the sea of knowledge, the yin and yang instruments emit a more powerful aura, alternating like the sun and the moon.

"Could it be..."Li Taiyi's eyes widened, "Yin and Yang? Yes, Yin and Yang are day and night, heaven and earth, sun and moon, water and fire, right and wrong, yes...... Good luck!"

"A prophet can achieve great things. ”

He took up his pen and filled in the blanks in the Book of Changes:

"Gossip determines good fortune, and good luck gives birth to great causes. ”

Putting down the pen, Li Taiyi closed his eyes and intently, and read softly: "

Tai Chi gives birth to two instruments, two instruments give birth to four elephants, and four elephants give birth to gossip,

Gossip determines good fortune and evil, and good luck and evil give birth to great causes. ”

Suddenly, the Nine Palaces Bagua Diagram in the Sea of Knowledge rose extremely quickly, and became larger sharply in the alternating changes again and again, like a black and white giant sun rising, releasing thousands of black and white divine light to shine on every corner of the Sea of Knowledge.

"That's it, that's it. Li Taiyi grinned slightly.

By this time, it was already morning, and more sunlight was shining through the windows.

Chu Lingyan rubbed her eyes, slowly opened them, and saw that under the morning light, the young man looked up and closed his eyes, the corners of his mouth were raised, free and elegant, like a Daoist immortal. There are two faint breaths around the surroundings that revolve around the boy, evolving Zhou Tian.

Since transforming the Nine Palaces Bagua Diagram into the Sea of Knowledge, Li Taiyi has felt that his soul has become more condensed, and his perception of the outside world has become much stronger.

After having breakfast with Chu Lingyan, Li Taiyi went to the street to buy some exercises that suited him.

When he was with Old Man Li before, Li Taiyi didn't have good exercises, but Old Man Li said that those exercises, with Li Taiyi's current cultivation, were far from reaching the threshold of use.

And now that Li Taiyi has 100,000 spirit stones on his body, he can just choose an exercise that suits him.

Shops dedicated to monks can be found everywhere in the capital of the Red Moon Empire, and there are constantly vendors selling some low-level spiritual treasure exercises.

Among these shops, the most famous is the Thousand Gates Pavilion of the Red Moon Empire.

This Thousand Sects Pavilion is not just exclusive to the Red Moon Empire. As early as tens of thousands of years ago, in order to strengthen the strength of the state, the monks of Daozhou gathered the major sects to work together to set up one after another scripture pavilions in the hundred domains of Daozhou, and selected many secret books of exercises to be sold to the secular loose cultivators. Because this scripture pavilion has collected thousands of sects, it is called the Thousand Sects Scripture Pavilion.

The Thousand Gates Pavilion is divided into three levels: the lower pavilion, the middle pavilion and the upper pavilion. In the places where the powerful sects gather, the upper cabinet with the most mysterious and profound exercises was set up, the middle cabinet with thousands of scrolls of scriptures was set up in the main city of the hundred domains of Daozhou, and the lower cabinet with relatively inferior exercise secrets was set up in the large empires of various domains.

The Red Moon Empire is naturally the inferior Scripture Pavilion among the Thousand Gate Scripture Pavilions. But even though it is an inferior scripture pavilion, the exercises hidden in it are also extremely mysterious, and even the subordinates who sweep the floor and do chores in the scripture pavilion are also unfathomable.

Li Taiyi and Chu Lingyan walked up the steps of the Thousand Gate Scripture Pavilion, and in this splendid building, they had more abundant spiritual power than the outside world. A powerful spiritual array was set up around to protect the Scripture Pavilion, and when he entered the gate of the Scripture Pavilion, Li Taiyi faintly felt that there was a great power to sweep his divine sense over him and Chu Lingyan.

There is a spatial enchantment in the Scripture Pavilion, which looks no more than the size of a palace on the outside, but in fact it is like a small space, and from a distance, you can only see countless neatly arranged bookshelves, towering high and unable to see the top. On the shelves are countless quaint scrolls.

Floating in the air are sandalwood floating boards, which can be used by low-level monks to choose exercises on the high places of the bookshelf, and from time to time there are monks who come and go to fly forward very quickly on the floating boards.

Li Taiyi summoned a floating board with his spiritual power, stood up with Chu Lingyan, shuttled between different bookshelves, and carefully selected the exercises that suited him.

Li Taiyi took out a blue-purple cheatbook, ""Thunder Pattern Palm"?" Li Taiyi shook his head, hand-to-hand combat was not his shortcoming, so he put the book back again.

"Wind Tricks?" Li Taiyi put back the book he had pulled out, and speed was not his weakness.

"The Golden Ape Change, your own body is strong enough, don't. ”

Mrs. Li chose and chosen, but he didn't choose the exercises he wanted.

"Huh?" Chu Lingyan around took out a cheat book from the bookshelf on the side and handed it to Li Taiyi, "Brother Taiyi, look, is it okay for Xiao Yan to learn this?" ”

"This is..."Li Taiyi took it, "Breeze Blade"?"

He probed the spiritual power into the book, and the information of the cheats immediately appeared in his mind.

This is a three-grade cheats book, which can mobilize the elemental spiritual power in the air around you, compress the air into a blade and quickly slash out.

"Yes, it's for you. Li Taiyi returned this exercise to Chu Lingyan, and she did make a good choice. She had previously cultivated a retreat technique "Red Silk Dance", which could greatly increase her speed, and when she urged the retreat technique itself, she would be wrapped in a large amount of rich air spiritual power, and she could directly launch the "Breeze Blade" during the period. The combination of these two exercises may be able to learn from each other's strengths and improve both by a small level.

"Okay. Chu Lingyan took out 50,000 spirit stones to break the prohibition on the exercise and put it into his storage ring, "Brother Taiyi hasn't found the exercise that suits his desires?"

"Not yet. Li Taiyi smiled bitterly, "I just think these exercises are too ordinary, and they may not make a big difference when they meet some tricky people." ”

He had in his mind the black-robed monk who could turn into black qi.

"What should I choose?"

He raised the sandalwood float and hung it in mid-air in thought.
