But just as he wanted to leave, he heard the elder say something again: "There are many exercises and mystical techniques in the world like stars, all of which are created by predecessors and geniuses, but since they are created by people, there must be advantages and disadvantages. ”

Su Lun stopped, he didn't know this knowledge yet, and continued to listen.

"Among them, the heavenly rank is the best quality exercise, the earth rank is the second, and the yellow rank is the worst. Under these four major grades, each major grade is divided into upper, middle and lower grades, that is to say, among the ordinary exercises, the upper grade exercises of the heavenly rank are the best exercises, and the lower grades of the yellow rank are the worst exercises. ”

"Generally speaking, there are many yellow-level exercises, and there are a lot fewer Xuan-level exercises, and in some small sects, Xuan-level exercises can even become the treasure of the Zhenzong. As for the earth-level exercises, they are even more scarce, and they only exist in some major sects, but every local level exercise is extremely precious, even if it is our Tianyun Sect, this kind of exercise is also a treasure. ”

"Teacher, what about the Heavenly Rank Exercises?"

Seeing that Zhou Tian didn't seem to be ready to talk about the Heavenly Rank Exercises, a curious disciple asked.

"Heavenly Rank Exercises...... It hasn't appeared for many years, and only in some ancient books can you get a glimpse of the legend of the Heavenly Rank Exercises, as for the Heavenly Rank Exercises in reality, I haven't seen them yet. Zhou Tian seemed to regret and shook his head with sighs.

"Of course, what you have to know is that the exercises are not the only determining condition, and some people practice exercises that are in line with them, and the results may be better than practicing more advanced exercises. ”

After listening for a while, Su Lun felt that he had nothing to listen to, so he was ready to go out, but when he left, he suddenly felt like he was being watched.

He turned his head to look and saw Zhou Tianzheng looking at him in surprise, as if he was shocked to see him again, but Su Lun only saw interest and joy in his eyes, and did not feel malice.

Su Lun smiled and saluted Zhou Tianyao, and then left.

Back at his residence, Su Lun couldn't stop thinking about whether he needed to get the Xuan Technique again, he already had the exercises, and he didn't need new exercises at all. However, for Xuanji, the skills are not pressing, but you can consider it.

After thinking about it, it seems that I don't need it much at the moment, and the only thing I may need is a mystic skill that can increase speed, and this kind of mystical skill I don't have.

Speed is a point that he values very much, and he thinks about it now, if he is fast enough, even when he is in the miscellaneous competition, he doesn't need to dodge some sword moves, he can rely on speed to force close to the opponent, and then use his fists to solve the battle.

Thinking of this, Su Lun felt that anyway, he was currently only practicing one Kendo Nine Styles during the day, and he had enough time to practice one more mystical technique, so he was going to go to the library once to find out if there was a mystic technique suitable for him when he went to eat at night.

The day passed quietly, Su Lun was immersed in the cultivation of the nine styles of swordsmanship, and before he knew it, the sun was setting, the sky was getting dark, and it was already night.

He ate a casual bite to eat and went to the library.

The library is still brightly lit as usual, and even at night, many people still come and go.

Walking to the door, he saw a small building next to him, and suddenly thought that it seemed that Elder Zhou Tian was here.

Just as he was thinking, the door of the small building suddenly opened, and a silver-haired old man came out of it, it was Elder Zhou Tian, and he came out at the right time, as if he sensed Su Lun's arrival.

Su Lun hurriedly saluted, "Elder Zhou." ”

Zhou Tian nodded and said, "I felt that you were coming, so I came out, you kid can, you can come to the outer sect in just two months, I originally thought that you would participate in that competition next year." ”

Then Zhou Tian beckoned to Su Lun and said that he would come in and speak.

Su Lun didn't hesitate, anyway, it wasn't at this time to find a mysterious technique, so he followed Zhou Tian into the small building.

Inside, the house is still the same as last time, simple and simple, but not cluttered. Su Lun found a chair and sat down, just looked at Zhou Tian, he knew that Zhou Tian called him over, he must have something to say.

Sure enough, Zhou Tian paced back and forth in the house for a while, seeing that Su Lun didn't speak, and finally spoke: "Xiao Su, there must have been such a big progress in such a short period of time, you must have suffered a lot, right?"

Su Lun shook his head: "Practice, how can there be no bitterness, the disciple knows that he joined the sect late, of course he has to work harder." ”

Zhou Tian nodded, and said, "Is there a difficulty? As an elder, I am happy to see that our Tianyun Sect has such an excellent disciple, if there is a difficulty, I can still help you." ”

"There is no difficulty for the time being, thank you for your concern. ”

“......”

After a short silence, Zhou Tian finally couldn't hold it back, he was not a person who hid things in his heart, and said, "That...... Last time you said, this work by that predecessor is called 'Tao Te Ching'?"

Without waiting for Su Lun to answer, he said again: "I read it carefully a few more times, and I found that it does contain a lot of Great Dao principles. ”

"Yes, it seems that this senior did not simply rely on cultivation to improve his realm, and from his scripture, it can be seen that he also has a lot of experience in the cultivation of the mind. ”

Zhou Tian nodded: "In this world, countless people always blindly practice and practice, but they have not reflected on what they are cultivating. And in the scriptures of this senior, I seem to see a wise man who is beyond the practice, expounding the Dao of Heaven and Earth from the source, and seeing the truth from the subtleties. ”

Zhou Tian has been studying the connotation of this scripture since the last time he learned about the Tao Te Ching, and although he can't see anything useful for practice, he also has a lot of feelings.

In the entire Tianyun Sect, he was the only one who liked these ancient histories, and only Su Lun and him could discuss some of it, so when he saw Su Lun coming, he wanted to talk to him.

Su Lun nodded, he knew that Zhou Tian actually didn't understand a lot of things, because after all, Lao Tzu used ancient Chinese, and there were still some differences with the culture here.

At this moment, seeing that Zhou Tian could understand a little, he knew that he must have worked hard.

However, he didn't expect that looking at it like this, Zhou Tian really just wanted to chat with him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking that this elder was really interested in peculiarities, and the other elders were all obsessed with cultivation, and he was the only one who devoted himself to studying these histories.

In that case, I'll do you another hand......

"Elder Zhou, I suddenly remembered that there seemed to be some words engraved on the murals in the cave, and now that I think about it, it seems to be the commentary on this Tao Te Ching. ”

"What?!" Zhou Tian was startled, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Is this true?"

"These first few sentences are about 'Tao', if it can be described in ordinary language, then he is always 'Tao'......"

Su Lun had read a lot of books in his previous life, so he naturally read this extremely famous book, and at this moment, he is explaining the later generations one by one.

After finishing speaking, Zhou Tian seemed to be stunned on the spot, and muttered: "What a Tao Te Ching, the way of the universe, the way of nature, and the way of individual cultivation, it turns out that they are the same path after all." However, all the Tao is based on virtue, and those who cultivate virtue have a quiet mind and a detached perception, and it is naturally easier to integrate into the avenue of heaven and earth. ”

He seemed to be as obsessed with the understanding of the article as he had been the last time Su Lun had come.

Su Lun shook his head, he explained these things for him, it was just a fate, after all, he had nothing to rely on in the sect, and if he had a good relationship with the elders, he might have an unexpected effect at a critical moment. Of course, it was also because he saw that someone was interested in the articles of his previous life, so he naturally felt a little closer in his heart, and Elder Zhou seemed to be a good person, so he befriended him.

Just as he was about to leave, he was suddenly stopped by Zhou Tian: "Xiao Su, wait." ”

Su Lun turned to look at him, but found that his whole person's spirit was a little different, and he seemed to be in a much better state than just now.

He didn't know that Zhou Tian had improved his mood tremendously in just a short period of time because of what he said, and although he couldn't see the effect on his cultivation, when he broke through, he might have a lot less difficulty.

"You may not know that what you said had a great impact on me, specifically, a lot of things I didn't understand. I have acted all my life, and I have never been worthy of my heart, Xiao Su, what reward do you want?"

Zhou Tian understands that his heart has changed greatly, and he must inherit this feeling. He chose to cultivate his mind, so he had to have a clear mind and be worthy of everything in order to be successful on the path of cultivation.

"Elder Zhou's words are serious, I just told you what I remembered, what I gained, it was the elder's own gain, Su Lun would never dare to take credit. ”

Zhou Tian saw that his expression was calm, and he couldn't help but feel a little more good, and thought for a while: "I see that you came to the Library Pavilion to find the Exercise Mystery Technique, right? ”

Su Lun's heart moved, this was an opportunity, because he knew that as a disciple of the outer sect, according to the door rules, when he first chosen, he could only choose the Yellow Rank Exercises, but now if he chooses the Xuan Rank Exercises, it is an extremely advantageous thing, after all, there is still a big gap between the Yellow Rank and the Xuan Rank.

Thinking of this, he arched his hand and said, "Thank you Elder Zhou, the disciple really wants to find a footwork. ”

Zhou Tian pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Footwork is no better than others, if the realm is not enough, the effect of practicing high-level footwork will be greatly reduced." ”

Su Lun nodded to show that he understood, if the realm of high-level fist and sword techniques is not enough, at best, the power emitted is not strong, but compared to low-level mystical techniques, the advantage is still obvious.

However, the footwork is different, if you can't cultivate, its effect may not be as good as that of low-level Xuan Technique, and if it is forcibly used in battle, it may disrupt the rhythm of combat, and when the time comes, a large amount of Xuan Qi will be consumed, but it will not have an effect at all, that is counterproductive.

Su Lun thought for a while and said, "Is there that kind of footwork that doesn't require the realm?"

"Yes, but there is no requirement for the realm, but it does not mean that there is no requirement for Xuanqi. Most of these exercises require abundant Xuan Qi, so they can actually be regarded as a disguised requirement realm. ”

Su Lun's eyes lit up, and he said, "Trouble the elder to recommend some to the disciple, the amount of Xuan Qi in the disciple's body is just different from ordinary people, I think this kind of Xuan Technique is the most suitable for me." ”

Zhou Tian was stunned for a moment, grabbed Su Lun's arm with his right hand, and when he felt it slightly, his face changed: "What a rich Xuan Qi! Although it is a Qi Gathering Realm, the total amount of its Xuan Qi is far greater than that of an ordinary Qi Gathering Realm, good boy, no wonder you dare to say this." ”

He smiled and nodded, "In this case, there is a kind of occult technique that is most suitable for you. ”
