In the early morning of the next day, the master evoked the river, went to the mountains with the river to pick some fruits and vegetables, and from time to time took local materials to tell some relevant understanding and application of the attributes of the five elements. At noon, lead Jiang He to visit the Five Holy Pavilion, it turns out that the Five Holy Pavilion has three floors, the first layer is the place where Jiang He and the master rest, eat, and learn to enlighten the Tao; the second layer is some scriptures and allusions about the five elements of heaven and earth, and some are the Taoist tools refined by the master through the five elements of heaven and earth; the stone door of the third layer is closed, and the master does not say it, and Jiang He is not rash to propose to watch.

After three months of basic theory and understanding, Jiang He has been able to successfully sense the existence of the attributes of the five elements, but for people and animals, how to summarize the five elements is troublesome.

"Neither man nor animal, or even all things, is a single attribute, but many things. For example, if you look at the wind alone, you can't tell what the properties are, but the flow of water will lead to the appearance of the wind, and in the same way, the burning of flames can produce the effect of light, and so on. The master earnestly induced the river: "A person or an animal has a heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys that correspond to the fire, wood, earth, metal, and water. The conditioning of the five elements corresponds to the organs of the person's body, which can also restrain and complement each other, and achieving the balance of the five elements is the best physical condition. ”

The master explained for about half an hour, and Jiang He benefited a lot, and he learned a lot, so he memorized it by heart.

Jiang He: "That's right, master, I remembered something that puzzled me for a long time. ”

Real person: "Good apprentice, if there is anything you can't say, just tell Yu Weishi." ”

Jiang He: "Okay, thank you, master." Here's the thing......"

Jiang He will comprehend the mystery of the first part of Xuanyuan's swordsmanship in the past: he has a good heart, slashes demons and destroys demons, becomes unbearable to kill, and then encounters the Shadow Horse on the road, and kills three wolves in order to save the Shadow Horse, causing a sense of guilt in the follow-up to the master.

Real person: "Good disciple, you are simple-hearted, kind to all living beings, and happy for you as a teacher, but don't forget your ultimate goal, for the peace of the world." ”

Jiang He: "Yes, master, the apprentice is engraved in my heart." ”

Real person: "If you are the commander of an army with 100,000 soldiers, the enemy is defeated, 50,000 people have fled, and more than 10,000 enemies are captured by you, what should you do?"

Jiang He: "Influence it with your heart." ”

Real person: "What if only half of the enemies are reformed, and the other half of the enemies are stubborn and desperately resisting?"

Jiang He: "I will use the mystery of Xuanyuan's sword technique to change it one by one." ”

Real person: "Ignorant, the enemy still has 50,000 people fleeing outside, and you can form a new army to attack at any time, as the commander of one side, how can you have time to use the Xuanyuan sword technique one by one to reform, not to mention that the five thousand enemies are time-consuming and laborious to reform one by one, if there is an enemy attacking, your army without a commander is a plate of scattered sand, for 5,000 people, it may cause you to kill 100,000 soldiers, which is more important and which is more important, can't you tell the difference?"

Jiang He: "The master taught a lesson, but the enemy who can't influence Toucheng has to be killed?"

Zhenren: "Hey, you are too soft-hearted, such a woman's kindness, it is difficult to achieve great things, in extraordinary times, you need extraordinary means, even if you have a merciful heart, you must use Shura to kill." For the peace of the world, for your 100,000 people, those stubborn enemies should still be killed, with the death of those who violate morality, and the lessons of those who obey morality are born, the follow-up enemies will not dare to do evil, and only after defeat can they truly surrender and be good citizens. Just like the five elements of heaven and earth, they are mutually reinforcing and complementing each other, in order to create a balance. ”

Real person: "The teacher is telling you a story: there are only tigers and green sheep in the forest, and the tigers reproduce very slowly, and the green sheep reproduce very quickly, because of the existence of tigers, the green sheep are often hunted and killed, but this is a balance of heaven. If the tiger kills the green sheep faster than the green sheep reproduces, then soon the green sheep will be captured and killed, and the tiger does not eat grass, and the final result of the green sheep can only be cannibalism, and then starve to death; on the other hand, if the tiger does not reproduce, it is desperate, the green sheep reproduces without scruples, and there are no natural enemies, and soon the grass and trees of nature will be eaten up, the green sheep do not eat meat, and there is no grass to eat, so they can only starve to death collectively. What did you hear based on this story, good boy?"

Jiang He: "What the master taught me is that you are telling me that you need to maintain a balance in everything, just like the five elements of heaven and earth, the five elements of the human body, and only maintaining balance is the best choice." ”

True person: "That's right, do what you can, just like the enemy, the existence that can be influenced and influenced, and the existence that cannot be influenced will cause more harm to your future benevolence, let it perish." ”

Jiang He: "Thank you to the master for relieving the confusion in my heart, and listening to the master's words is better than realizing the Tao for five years." ”

Real person: "Hahaha, good, good, the child can be taught." ”

Time flies, spring, summer, autumn and winter alternate four seasons, unconsciously Jiang He practiced in Wuling Mountain, enlightened the heart of the Tao, has been three years, in the five spirits of the real people's careful teaching, coupled with the real people's care and teaching, the river five elements thaumaturgy can really be said to be advancing by leaps and bounds, becoming more and more sophisticated. He has mastered and is proficient in the use of thaumaturgy related to the five elements

Water thaumaturgy: condensation of ice, fog in the sky, wind and rain......

Fire thaumaturgy: light the wood to ignite the fire, take the chestnut from the flame, and burn the prairie with flames......

Golden thaumaturgy: Breaking trees with bare hands, gold leading to thunder, lightning and thunder......

Wood thaumaturgy: falling seeds and flowers, polar trees are generated, and a day is a forest......

Earth thaumaturgy: The earth and stone are armor, the sand is flying and the gravel is gone, and the earth shakes the mountains.

At the end of the day, before the sky is bright, the five spirits will evoke the river.

Zhenren: "Good apprentice, after three years of hard work, your thaumaturgy has made outstanding progress, and I am proud of you in the eyes of my master, it is time for you to enter the final Five Sacred Pavilion to accept a new test." Before that, I need you to go down the mountain to retrieve the Five Spirit Stones. ”

Jiang He: "Okay, master, the apprentice will go and get it." ”

Not long after, Jiang He came back with five spirit stones, and the master was already waiting outside, took the five spirit stones brought back by Jiang He, and put them down next to the big incense burner in front of the mountain in the style of a five-element array, lit a huge incense, and let Jiang He kneel in front of the incense burner.

Jiang He knelt down according to his words, only to listen to the words chanted in the master's mouth: "Five Elements Mountain, Five Spirits True Person - Tianxuan, today lead the disciples Jianghe to meet the holy beast, and pray that the holy beast will help my disciples Jianghe understand the true meaning of the five elements and help the people in the world." Fifteen bows!"

Jiang He bowed fifteen times according to his words, and then saw a faint light on the five spirit stones surrounding the incense burner. The master put away the five spirit stones and took the river to enter the Five Sacred Pavilion, came to the last floor, pushed open the stone door, and saw a pentagonal stone table placed in the middle of the wide attic, which seemed to be naturally formed, and there were five silver-white tokens on the stone table, each token was written with words of the same color as the five spirit stones.

Master: "This is the Five Holy Orders, which can be used to summon the Holy Beasts of the corresponding attributes, disciple, you can place the Five Spirit Stones in the corners of the stone table in the manner of the Five Elements Array, and then take down the Five Holy Orders." ”

Jiang He answered, and then came to the stone table, according to the order of water, fire, metal, wood, and earth, put the five spirit stones that shimmered with light on the five corners of the stone table, and then the five holy orders sensed the power of the corresponding spirit stones, flashed the same light, and then turned from silver to gold. Jiang He looked back at the master, and when he saw that the master nodded slightly, he took down the Five Holy Orders.

Master: "Okay, good apprentice, the holy beast has decided to meet you, and the next test is unpredictable even for the teacher, so you have to do it yourself and deal with it carefully." Now go and be put to the test of the Holy Beast. ”

After that, the master took the river back to the outside, and came to the rock wall engraved with the five holy beasts, and the river once again carefully looked at the lifelike murals, three years ago, the master had explained the five holy beasts and the corresponding attributes.

The first mural: the turtle body has a snake tail, with six legs, the bridge of the head and nose has sharp horns, and each scale armor of the turtle shell is decorated like flowing water, which is the holy beast of the water system - water Xuanwu.
