When Gu Xiangyang heard this, he was stunned for a moment and asked, "Brother Li, are you kidding?" Why should I join Yuxiao Palace? Why stay here? ”

Li Yuanting waved his hand when he heard this: "Brother Xiaogu, all worldly things are like the moon in the glasses in the water, and only by cultivating the true avenue can I get a glimpse of the true meaning." Today, I'm just an introduction, let's go around the Yuxiao Palace first, and talk about this matter slowly. ”

"Brother Li, you know that I still have a hospital on the island, I'm afraid I can't stay for a long time, otherwise, how about we talk about it next time?" Gu Xiangyang was unhappy with the boss in his heart, this is really a stalker.

"What's the hurry? It's all here, how can you not see the scenery of our Yuxiao Palace? Li Yuanting got up and greeted the room, calling Zhao Zengming and Yue'e out.

Gu Xiangyang was also a little helpless, so he could only follow the three of them to go around the Yuxiao Palace.

The real Yuxiao Palace is behind the mountain gate, according to Li Yuanting, this is actually the key to the hidden gate to survive in the world, the secret realm.

Although the secret realm is mysterious, it is also simple to put it bluntly. If the world is compared to a giant water bubble, then the secret realm is the small bubble that exists in this water bubble.

These bubbles exist in large numbers and are not known to outsiders, and people often unconsciously avoid some places, which may be a secret place.

They are the same as this big world, but they have their own rules, the rules are independent, then the secret realm lasts forever, and once the rules are assimilated by the big world, then the secret realm is broken and becomes a part of the big world.

It's just that these secret realms need to be recognized by the big world, that is, the rules of the small world do not conflict with the rules of the big world.

It may be better to understand the two as family and society.

The secret realm of Yuxiao Palace is dozens of miles in radius, there are mountains and rivers, rivers and plains.

It's just that according to Li Yuanting, the space here looks big, but in fact, it is only a few square meters in the outside world.

Gu Xiangyang couldn't help but think of his own space, the only difference between the secret realm and the space is mobility, his own space can run with him, but what about the secret realm? Secret realms can only exist somewhere, not movable.

Even, Gu Xiangyang was thinking, are these secret realms just the space left by a certain series of monks? Of course, he can't be sure now.

The distinction between the inner and outer doors of Yuxiao Palace is also very simple, what is seen by the world on the outside is the outer door, and the inner door is in the secret area.

The management of the inner door is very lax, basically at will, here, as long as you don't do any large-scale destruction, or kill people and the like, you basically do what you like.

There are only three rules that must be followed, that is, you must not leave at will, you must not betray the mountain gate, and you must participate in the monthly sermon.

Tomorrow happens to be the day of the sermon, and Gu Xiangyang was left behind by the three of them.

The wine that was not drunk at noon was taken out again by Zhao Zengming, and the dinner under the peach blossom tree lasted for a long time, until Gu Xiangyang was too strong to drink and drank on the table.

Gu Xiangyang was woken up by Yue'e the next day, and after washing, he followed the three of them to the dojo.

"Edgeworth breaks through the sky and soars into the sky!" A small golden sword appeared in Li Yuanting's hand, and it became like a door panel when it flickered in the wind.

The three of them went up in turn, and Yue'e, who was standing at the end, stretched out her hand to Gu Xiangyang, pulling Gu Xiangyang behind her to stand.

"Up!" Li Yuanting pinched the law, and the flying sword the size of the door panel broke through the air directly.

And the sudden acceleration made Gu Xiangyang's body unstable, and he was about to fall down.

Just in an instant, a jade hand reached out and pulled Gu Xiangyang up, and at the same time, Gu Xiangyang's other hand instinctively grabbed Yue'e's slender waist.

After her body stabilized, Gu Xiangyang hurriedly removed her hand, while Yue'e pursed her lips and smiled, Gu Xiangyang had more good feelings in her heart.

The preaching hall of Yuxiao Palace is in a valley, a waterfall falls, and the waterhole that hits out is a natural bluestone platform.

The water in the waterhole overflows and flows down the river to become a babbling stream.

When the four of them arrived, many people were already seated on the bluestone platform.

Li Yuanting took Gu Xiangyang to move forward together, and those who had originally sat down got up and saluted Li Yuanting.

Li Yuanting walked all the way, nodded and signaled, on the bluestone platform in the front row, he motioned for Gu Xiangyang to sit down side by side with him.

Gu Xiangyang felt that it was awkward to sit like this, and he didn't want to sit here, according to his thoughts, he just came over to join in the fun, just find a seat in the back row.

However, Li Yuanting brought himself over and sat in the front row, which was really funny, and on the other hand, it can also be seen that Li Yuanting's status in Yuxiao Palace is really not low.

Just looking at where Zhao Zengming and Yue'e are sitting, it is only the second or third row.

The four of them arrived relatively late, and they didn't see an old man dressed as a Taoist priest on the top of the waterfall on the mountain, walking down slowly, stepping in the air step by step, as if climbing the stairs and sitting down at the highest place on the platform.

The surrounding disciples got up one after another and saluted the old man, Gu Xiangyang was no exception, as the saying goes, Gu Xiangyang also got up and saluted the old man.

"Okay, all right, sit down." The old man smiled and pressed his hands down, motioning for everyone to sit down.

The old man looked around, his eyes fell on Gu Xiangyang, and after a pause, he withdrew his gaze and spoke.

What the old man said, Gu Xiangyang could understand, he did not quote scriptures, but started from some things and phenomena to explain the use of Taoism.

Gu Xiangyang was also gradually fascinated by what he heard.

In fact, as the old man said, all the Dharma in the world are connected, and the essence of the Tao is the truth, the truth, and the source.

Everything now can be explained by the Tao, which is the truth of the world. However, the Tao cannot be explained by common sense, which is the impermanence of the Tao.

The more Gu Xiangyang listened, the more fascinated he became, and the more he listened and thought.

When the old man finished preaching, everyone woke up from the state of hearing the sermon quickly or slowly, and left one by one.

By the time the crowd had left, there were only five people left.

"Master, did you wake up Xiao Tani?" Li Yuanting asked the old man.

"No, this son has a very high level of understanding, those who hear the Tao and see joy have spirituality, those who hear the Tao can grieve have human nature, those who hear the Tao can be angry have blood, those who hear the Tao can think have understanding, and only those who are enlightened can enter the Tao. Let him consider here, go, and I will keep watch. The old man waved his hand and motioned for the three of them to leave.

"But Master, I don't know when he will realize this, you ......" Li Yuanting persuaded again, but saw that the old man had closed his eyes and was silent.

sighed helplessly, summoned the flying sword and turned into a streamer. And Zhao Zengming and Yue'e also saluted one after another, each summoned a magic weapon, turned into a streamer and fled.

Once again, the valley was calm, and nothing but the sounds of nature remained.

Gu Xiangyang had no sorrow or joy, his face was neat, and he sat still, just like the old man in front of the stone clay sculpture.

Nine days passed in a blink of an eye, Gu Xiangyang's eyelids moved slightly, but the old man opened his eyes in an instant, and his face was overjoyed, this kid realized nine days, what a genius!

Gu Xiangyang woke up, looked around blankly, and saw that there was only one old man left in front of him, and he quickly got up and saluted, but he sat cross-legged for a long time, making his lower limbs numb, and his body was about to fall down if his center of gravity was unstable.

Seeing this, the old man stretched out his hand a little, and Gu Xiangyang immediately felt that there seemed to be a soft force behind him to support him.

After slowing down slightly, Gu Xiangyang felt that the blood circulation in his lower limbs had recovered, and then he gave the old man a long bow and said, "Thank you Immortal Master, the kid has benefited a lot." ”

"Hahaha, don't thank me, this is your own fate, I'm just an introduction." The old man smiled and waved his hand.

"Grunt" Gu Xiangyang's stomach rang uncontrollably at this time.

Touching his stomach in embarrassment, Gu Xiangyang said embarrassedly: "I'm still a mortal, if I wasn't too hungry, I guess I wouldn't be able to do it." I don't know, how long have I been like this? ”

"Hehe, who is not from mortals? You've been like this for nine days. The old man said.

"What? Nine days? Oh no, I need to go back quickly, my family is waiting for me. Gu Xiangyang was anxious when he heard this, he left for nine days, and his family was still waiting for him.

"Don't be in a hurry, follow me to fill your stomach first." The old man smiled and waved his hand, and disappeared with Gu Xiangyang.

Gu Xiangyang only felt a flower in front of him, and he arrived in a courtyard.

Wine and food had already been placed on the stone table in the courtyard, Gu Xiangyang was not polite, and directly started eating, sweeping away the food on the table like a storm.

After he was full of wine and food, Gu Xiangyang wanted to get up and say goodbye, but the old man sitting opposite him poured a cup of residual wine from the cup on the ground.

In an instant, weeds began to grow on the ground. Gu Xiangyang watched them pull leaves and bloom, set seeds and wither, and then germinate seeds, and the cycle repeatedly.

Gu Xiangyang sat at the table in a daze, and couldn't help but forget the time. When the old man saw it, he smiled and was very satisfied.

Gu Xiangyang was nine days later, and then, the grass and trees around him suddenly grew, flowered, and bore fruit.

After a cycle, Gu Xiangyang woke up. On the table in front of him was another table of wine and food.

Under the hunger and thirst, Gu Xiangyang had a full meal again.

This time, the old man did not appear, and when the courtyard door opened, Li Yuanting walked in.

"Xiaogu, let's go, Shizun has already commanded, as long as you wake up, I will send you back. If you feel that worldly things can be put down, then I hope you can come back, and the door of my Yuxiao Palace will be open for you at any time. After Li Yuanting finished speaking, he summoned the flying sword and asked Gu Xiangyang to go up.

The flying sword broke through the air and turned into a streamer, and in front of the mountain gate, Li Yuanting said goodbye to Gu Xiangyang.

On the top of the mountain in the secret realm, two figures stood together, looking at the mountain gate from afar.

"Senior brother, why did you preach him the way of the causal cycle, but didn't keep this kid for more time?" A middle-aged man asked the old man next to him.

The old man replied, "This son has no common fate, and he can't help it." Passing on him is also a thank you for his gift. The Tao is natural, everything is fate, let him go. After the old man finished speaking, he sighed, turned around and left.

Out of the secret realm of Yuxiao Palace, Gu Xiangyang immediately went down the mountain and took a plane back to the island.

When he returned to the island, he was inevitably reprimanded by his mother, and Gu Xiangyang promised that he would not say goodbye in the future before he was forgiven.
