The master looked at the wrench in my hand and said, "Master Zu peeked through the heavens and left two relics, one of which is the bronze sword, which is dull for the master and is not qualified to control the sword. Another relic is this wrench, the ancestor used secret techniques to hide all the Taoist books he had collected all his life in this ring. ”

Since the master is determined to teach me all the secrets of the Louguan School, I am not in a hurry, it is better to find out today.

I asked, "Master, what is the effect of that sword, and you are not qualified to control it?" ”

The master looked at me and said, "As a Taoist, you have naturally heard what Huang Laozhi said. Lao refers to Lao Tzu, and Huang refers to the Yellow Emperor. The two are the origin of Taoism, and this bronze sword is made in imitation of the Xuanyuan sword. ”

"Xuanyuan Sword?"

The master nodded and said, "In ancient times, the Yellow Emperor used the Xuanyuan Sword to break Chiyou. This is the first divine sword, unrivaled in the world. This bronze sword, although not as powerful as the Xuanyuan sword, is also infinitely powerful. A good horse with a good saddle, this bronze sword, is also waiting for his master. ”

The master told me a lot of mysteries, but I knew he wouldn't lie to me.

This bronze sword was found in an ancient tomb in Huai Shu Wan and is inextricably linked to Taiping Road.

Moreover, the leader of the Taiping Dao, Zhang Jiao, shouted "The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand", and the Huang Tian he worshipped, I don't know if he also pretended to be the name of the Yellow Emperor.

After asking about the bronze sword, I turned my attention to the wrench again and continued to ask the master: "You said this is the key, how can you open it?" ”

The master smiled, looked at the wooden statue of the ancestor master, and said, "Do you remember the story of the ancestor Ma Sanhao during the Qingming Festival?" ”

I nodded, the patriarch is also good and evil, good and evil are difficult to distinguish.

The master continued: "At that time, I told you that Master Zu did all the bad things when he was young, and one of them was to force a little Taoist priest to death and snatch the ancient scroll from his hands. ”

I remember that Master Zu's wife died later, and he suspected that it was related to the curse of the little Taoist.

The master looked at me and said, "It was from this ancient scroll that Master Zu discovered a Taoist technique, and then created a space and put all the things he had learned all his life into it. ”

I thought that Master Zu discovered Li Qingfeng's spatial technique in the Zhangjia Ancestral Hall, and then created it.

It turned out to be hidden in those ancient scrolls, and it was no wonder that the Taoist priest of the Yin Void Sect said that the ancestor disdained the books in his collection, and it turned out that there were more powerful Taoist techniques hidden in the ancient scrolls.

My curiosity was aroused again, and I hurriedly asked, "Where is that space, and how do you get in?" ”

The master patted me on the head and said, "Your curiosity is still so heavy, you must know how to restrain yourself." That space is not in reality, but in dreams. ”

"In a dream?"

The master nodded, and then asked, "Have you heard the story of Zhuang Gongxiao's dream of butterflies?" ”

Of course I know this, Nanhua Zhenren Zhuangzi, it is said that he is still a lacquer garden official, and he dreams at home when he has nothing to do. One day when I was sleeping, I suddenly had a dream, and in the dream I became a butterfly, so Zhuangzi began to think about whether I dreamed of becoming a butterfly, or whether the butterfly dreamed of me, and the reality was just a dream made by a butterfly.

I nodded, and the master continued: "Zhuangzi is a great sage on a par with Lao Tzu, he is full of imagination and high understanding, but he is unrestrained. ”

When the master said this, I suddenly thought that Master Zu seems to have this kind of character, and before the master and the master said that Master Zu admired Nanhua Zhenren Zhuangzi very much, and now it seems that there is also a connection between them, could it be that those ancient scrolls are the Taoist books made by Zhuangzi?

Historically, under the name of Zhuangzi, there was only the book "Nanhua Zhenjing" (that is, "Zhuangzi"), and many of the volumes were lost.

I just know that the Zhuangzi in history is extraordinary and extraordinary, otherwise how can he be as famous as the Taoist Laozi.

The master continued: "The ancient scrolls that the ancestor forcibly seized back then are the few lost articles in the "Nanhua True Scripture". One of them is about dreams, called "Into Sleep". ”

Master's sentence proved my guess. And before, many things could be explained.

Why does Master Zu advocate freedom and unrestrainedness, he is just imitating Zhuangzi.

And on the ancient scrolls, there are also records of the hidden land.

Therefore, although Master Zu has not read "Taiping Yaoshu", he knows the existence of the hidden land, and he seems to know a lot.

I didn't think about it deeply, but continued to listen to the master, and only after listening to him can I enter the space created by the ancestor as soon as possible.

The master explained, "Mei, it means to be asleep. From it, Master Zu comprehended the Tao of dreams, and the key to entering here is this little wrench. ”

I eagerly asked, "Is it just wearing it to sleep?" ”

The master shook his head and said, "Don't be so anxious, I still have something to greet you, this dream is a Taoist technique, so you need a spell to go in and out, otherwise you will be trapped in it and become a living dead." ”

Then the master took the wrench, helped me put it on my little finger, and said, "I will teach you a spell to use to enter and exit dreams, but there is a great danger in it, do you know what it is?" ”

I thought about it, understood, and said: "It will be like Nanhua Zhenren Zhuangzi, I can't tell whether it is a dream or reality." ”

The master nodded and said, "Indeed, because this Dao technique is very powerful, after entering, you will mistakenly think that this is reality, and after a long time, you will find that you can't tell whether you are in a dream or in reality." ”

I know that Master Zu is so smart, he must have also set up a prompt and asked, "Then how can I distinguish between reality and dreams?" Do you slap yourself and wake yourself up in pain? ”

The master smiled and said, "You still think about this Dao technique too simply, in this dream, not only can you feel the pain, but even everything in it will be exactly the same as reality." ”

I was a little confused, so how could I tell if it was a dream or not.

The master looked at me and smiled, "I can't think of any way to tell the difference, right?" ”

I nodded, and the master continued: "In this dream of Master Zu, there is a hidden feature that is used to distinguish whether it is reality or a dream. ”

"What's set up?"

The master pointed outside and said, "Have you observed the river below our rice field?" ”

I nodded and said, "I've seen it, but it flows in a different direction, generally the river under the mountain flows from west to east, but here it flows from east to west." ”

As if I had been prompted, I asked eagerly, "Master, could it be that Master Zu set the direction of this river in the opposite direction in his dreams to distinguish between reality and dreams?" ”

The master nodded and said, "Yes, it is based on the flow of the river in the dream realm to distinguish between reality and dream. I'm too talented, otherwise I could have taught you more. In fact, the setting of this dream can derive a powerful Dao technique. ”

I was puzzled, just looking at the master.

The master smiled and said, "Not only Zhuangzi can dream, but everyone can dream." ”

I understood again and said, "You mean, from the ancient scroll of "Into Sleep", what you have comprehended is not only the dream realm of setting up Daoist Bay, but also deriving more powerful Dao techniques, and it is effective for everyone?" ”

The master nodded and said, "Your ancestor founded this kind of Dao technique, but it's a pity that we, the juniors, are too poor in talent and have now been lost." When I was a child, I heard from my master that my grandfather called this technique: Entering the Dream Technique. ”

"Do you mean into someone else's dream?"

The master shook his head and said, "It's not about entering other people's dreams, but using illusion to directly let others enter the dreams you created." ”

Then the master looked at me and said slowly: "Maybe you inadvertently glanced at the ancestor and entered the dream created by the grandfather, but you still think that this is in reality." ”

Hearing this, I feel that Master Zu is a little perverted, this Taoism, I think it should be called daydreaming. Because what you think of as reality is nothing more than a dream created by the caster.

The master continued: "Perhaps, you will also realize this illusion in the future, but you must also know that this illusion seems to be powerful, but it has fatal shortcomings. ”

I nodded, understood in my heart, and said, "The biggest drawback is that the caster may not be able to tell whether it is reality or a dream. ”

The master nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, you must have already realized the solution." ”

Acknowledgingly, I smiled and nodded, indeed.
