Chapter 18 The Source of the Dao

Under the pavilion, the Taiyi Daoist was sitting in danger and said slowly: "There are many cultivation sects in the Great Xia Dynasty, but the dynasty takes the Sanqing Daomen as the authentic practice in the world. Most of the cultivation sects www.biquge.info hidden among the famous mountains and rivers, and rarely set foot in the world, but behind them are the worship of worldly manpower and finance.

If ordinary people want to enter the ordinary sect to practice, they should use ten thousand taels of gold as a gift for the entrance of the worldly disciples!" Taiyi Daoist said leisurely.

Xu Feng and the others finally understood Taiyi Daoren's behavior of asking for silver as soon as they met, and they had a deeper understanding of worldly practice.

For Xu Feng and Jiang Liao, who must be compared with baht, this is an astronomical amount.

"The cultivation sects that have really entered the WTO are the Sanqing Daomen, which are enshrined as the state religion, and the other two powerful sects. One is the Xianjian Gate, and the other is the East City Courtyard, one south and one north, known as the 'South Gate and North Courtyard'. The fairy sword gate is in Huizhou, and it is only a hundred and ten miles away from this netherworld island, and the Dongcheng Courtyard is located in the eastern suburbs of Yingdu......"

With the explanation of Taiyi Lao Dao, a long scroll about cultivation slowly unfolded in front of Xu Feng and Jiang Liao. All understanding is just understanding, but actually practicing is another matter.

"An ordinary person" Xu Feng paused slightly, pointed to Jiang Liao on the side and said, "For example, Jiang Liao, how can you embark on the path of cultivation?" Xu Feng asked.

Taiyi Daoist said: "Good question!" Then he took a deep look at Jiang Liao, Jiang Liao was a little uncomfortable to see, there was a feeling of being stripped naked in winter, and it seemed that this glance had concluded that he could understand the world and start cultivating, and his heart was slightly excited.

"Whether a person has the qualifications for enlightenment is the arrangement of God, and cultivation is a gift from God to the world, and in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, there is only one person who can make a judgment on this issue, and that is Long Qianqiu, the president of Dongcheng Academy. ”

"You should know that the dynasty recently reopened the Tsing Yi Examination, and the Tong Sheng who was shortlisted for the Tsing Yi Examination was personally screened by the dean of Dongcheng Academy, and decided whether to enter the sect to practice, or to go to a suitable place to serve the imperial court. Of course, ordinary people can also comprehend the world by themselves and judge whether they can practice or not, of course, success or failure depends on fate, which is really unknown. ”

Xu Feng is a staunch experimenter, and he does not agree with the statement that being able to practice is God's arrangement. There is definitely a difference between all those who are able to practice and those who are not, and it is not that there is a heaven that designates whoever practices will suddenly be able to practice. However, at the moment, I can't find a cultivator to dissect it, so I can only doubt it first.

Taiyi Daoren said to Xu Feng solemnly: "The origin of your black sword is unknown, the old man can feel a stream of evil qi entangled in the sword, from now on, try not to carry it with you, so as not to invade the body and bring you unwarranted disasters." ”

Xu Feng pondered for a moment and nodded heavily.

At this moment, the sun has completely submerged into the lake, there is darkness between heaven and earth, the night breeze is slightly cool, and the residual tea is gone.

Taiyi Daoist got up and took out a book from his arms, and handed it to Xu Feng very preciously: "Since the two of you were recommended by Lao Song, for the sake of the old man, I will give this book to you." ”

Xu Feng solemnly took it, only to see the three big characters "Daoyuan Fu" written heavily on the cover.

"This book is a theoretical work on how to realize the Tao and thus enter the realm of the Apocalypse, and if you are interested in this path, you can study it carefully. ”

Xu Feng and the two were moved in their hearts, although Taiyi Dao people are a little weird, but they are very fair to the two, and they know everything and say everything, and now they have taken out the "martial arts cheats" to give each other, which can be described as sincere. Xu Feng was a little embarrassed.

In the next few days, the relocation of the rockery was nearing completion. At this moment, Xu Feng and Jiang Liao already knew that the formation was attached to the rockery, and turned the stacking of rockeries into a kind of familiarity and practice of the formation.

Looking at the fruits of their hard work, day by day close to completion, the two of them are also happy in their hearts.

The day of the outlying islands has arrived. The two packed their bags, but in fact, there was nothing to pack, and said goodbye to the Taoist priests one by one, crossed the stone gate again, took the iron bridge, and returned along the same road.

Before leaving, the two discussed, and silently left twenty taels of silver for the sincerity of the Taiyi Dao people.

On the way back, the two of them repeatedly studied "Dao Yuan Fu" until they passed through a bustling town and found an identical copy of "Dao Yuan Fu" in a small bookstore! After inquiring with booksellers, they learned that such books were everywhere, and a copy was not worth even five cents of silver!

............

Taiyi Daoren threw the silver in his hand with a proud face, and sighed: "Good posterity!

The disciple who had always practiced behind closed doors came to the front.

"How are these two people?" the junior brother asked.

Taiyi Daoist replied seriously: "Jiang Liao is born with divine power, the foundation is stable, it can be seen from the answer to the question on the stone gate, the mind is direct, honest, if you embark on the path of cultivation in the future, you will be a rare warrior." ”

"What about Xu Feng?" asked the junior brother seriously.

"Xu Feng, this son is very smart, his appearance is profligate, his mind is calm, and there is a strangeness in his body, even I can't see through it. ”

A look of shock appeared on the junior brother's face: "Could it be?"

Taiyi Daoren shook his head slightly: "It's hard to say." ”

......

The return trip was familiar with the road, and the two of them were still frugal along the way, and the silver they saved bought a lot of gifts for their families. I bought a scarf for Xiaoying, a coat for Aunt Shen, and something for Uncle Wang, which was a jade smoking gun.

Entering the familiar Hengshui and familiar streets and alleys, Xu Feng suddenly found a sense of hometown, remembering the familiar comfort and comfort of his previous life when he went out to study and returned to his hometown. That's probably the taste of home. Not the best, not the most prosperous, just a feeling of inner fit, apt and comfortable.

On the corner of a certain street, the shiny blue bricks that were rubbed, the upturned corner of the bluestone pavement, the arched bridge that once lingered in the center of the town, the silent flowing water under the bridge, all the memories related to Xu Feng's mind came to his mind at once.

Bringing a big bag of gifts and going home to reunite with your loved ones is one of the most wonderful things in the world.

The end of the year is approaching, the air is filled with the smell of festivity, in the kind twilight, the smoke curls on the roof of every house, looking at the shops on the streets of Hengshui Town, a winding red light shines along the long street, which is the lanterns hung out by the shops during the New Year.

It is very appropriate for the snowfall at the end of the year, the goose-feather snow falls from the gray sky, there is no wind, it is very quiet under the heavy snow, through the lights of the door house, you can see the silent snowflakes falling, as if you are also in a hurry for the New Year.

A cashmere coat of two taels of silver made Aunt Shen happy for several days, and she said that Xu Feng was wasting money, and she was happy that Xu Feng was sensible and knew how to honor herself.

Returning to his cabin on the cliff, Xu Feng's heart was filled with calm satisfaction. In the silence of the mountain, Xu Feng took out a notebook and used the charcoal he made to record some of his experiences on the Netherworld Island.

Note-taking is a habit of Xu Feng, in his previous life, no matter how busy the scientific research project was, he had to record his day's experience with a pen when he went to sleep, some colleagues laughed at him, but Xu Feng knew in his heart that recording is sorting, but also on the other hand, it is an important means of academic progress, only if he personally experienced the fun of progress from notes, he would know the beauty of note-taking.

Xu Feng knows that his memory is indeed beyond that of ordinary people, but to go to the next level, to give full play to memory and deduction, note-taking is also an important part of it. There are no unwarranted achievements in the world, and any achievements and honors are the result of long-term perseverance.

For some reason, Xu Feng felt particularly tired today, probably the result of extreme physical and mental relaxation, and fell asleep on the bed while writing notes.

The snow fell all night.

Xu Feng slept well, was in good spirits, made a cup of hot cloud tea, held it in his hand, pushed open the window, and saw that the world was white, and the white peaks were undulating, and the mist rose lightly on the town under the mountain, and all the buildings were dressed in white, and a poetic world was displayed in front of Xu Feng's eyes.

"What a world!"

Xu Fengzheng sighed, Jiang Liao and Xiaoying had already come to the door. The Great Xia Dynasty had a lively pilgrimage meeting every year, similar to the temple fair in the previous life, and almost everyone had to go to the town, the county government, and even the capital to participate in the pilgrimage.

This year, Xu Feng and the three of them have made an appointment to go to the county government to participate in the worship meeting, and give themselves good luck, so that they can win the first place in the Tsing Yi test in one fell swoop.
