"Please give me advice!"

When Xu Xingchen heard the old man say this, the light in his eyes reappeared, and he hurriedly hugged his fists.

"Since you are a disciple of the Void Cloud Gate, you must practice the Void Cloud Gate exercises wholeheartedly. It's not good for the old body to instruct you on any other exercises, it's just that when the old body was still a teenager, he learned a cultivation method that can help cultivators practice faster. If you succeed in learning, although you may not be able to become the pride of the sky, and you can beat extremely smart people like your friend, but you will definitely be able to improve your cultivation.

After hearing this, Xu Xingchen was even more excited, and hurriedly knelt down in front of the old man, hugged his fists and said: "If the old gentleman can guide the juniors, the juniors will repay your kindness wholeheartedly!"

"Okay, you get up!" The old man smiled with relief when he saw Xu Xingchen so motivated, but he doubted whether he should teach him this exercise, so he hurriedly got up to help him, but found that Xu Xingchen was kneeling on the ground, as if he had taken root, and he couldn't help him.

Seeing that the young man's cultivation heart is so strong. The old man showed even more admiration, thought about it slightly, and finally agreed to Xu Xingchen, so he smiled and said: "If you want to teach you from the old body, how can you learn if you don't get up?"

Xu Xingchen was inexplicably excited, raised his head and looked at the old man, tears rolled in his eyes excitedly, and he was so surprised that he seemed to be demented, so he knelt there in a daze.

"Old gentleman, junior ......"

Xu Xingchen wanted to say something, but because of excitement, he didn't know how to continue, and only said these few words.

Seeing the young man's expression, the old man said, "If you want me to teach you the exercises, don't call me any old gentleman in the future, this little bit of knowledge of mine is not a gentleman." The old body is called Dao Yangzi, how about you call me Master in the future?"

Xu Xingchen only wanted to improve his cultivation and avenge his mother, and now this kind-faced old man was so generous that he wanted to give him his money, he naturally agreed, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Yes, Master's order, Xingchen must obey it!"

The old man laughed and helped Xu Xingchen up from the ground. Seeing the young man so excited, he smiled and said, "Apprentice, although I promised to teach you the exercises, whether you can learn it or not depends on whether you work hard!"

Xu Xingchen nodded again and again, and swore a promise: "Yes, Master, the apprentice must study hard, please rest assured, Master!"

"Be good, as a teacher, believe in you, as long as you study hard, you will definitely be able to make progress. ”

Xu Xingchen nodded vigorously, he couldn't wait in his heart, and said, "Please teach Master! I can learn as much as Master teaches me!"

Dao Yangzi saw that he was so serious, and thought that he had really accepted a good apprentice, but he felt that his temperament was too impatient, so he said: "Xingchen, I know that you have great ideals, but things cannot be done in one day, and cultivation must be gradual. In this way, the teacher will give you the most basic Fa decision today, and after you go back, you will feel and cultivate by yourself, how about it?"

Xu Xingchen asked again: "Then Master, what should I do with the exercises in the future?"

Michiyoko smiled and raised her finger to point to the left front. Xu Xingchen looked in the direction pointed by Daoyangzi, and saw a huge mansion standing on the mountainside in the distance, like the residence of a wealthy family. Strangely enough, the room was still lit at night, as if it were not a man but an owl living in it.

Dao Yangzi continued: "Have you seen that big mansion? There is a Taoist temple next to that mansion, and the teacher cultivates and lives there on weekdays. As long as you come here, I'll be there almost all of them, and if I'm not there, I won't be away for long. If you want to come, then come, I will definitely teach you the exercises later. ”

"Yes, Master!" Xu Xingchen nodded in agreement, glanced at the house, only felt that it was extremely strange, and couldn't help but look at it twice.

Daoyangzi looked at the young man's expression, guessed a thing or two of what he was thinking, and didn't want him to think about it any more, so he called: "Apprentice, what's wrong?"

Xu Xingchen came back to his senses at this time, hiding what he was thinking, his face was still calm, and said, "Go back to Master, the disciple is fine." ”

"Since it's okay, are you willing to learn?" said the old man, still in a relaxed tone.

"The disciple was distracted for a while, please punish the master!" Xu Xingchen thought that Dao Yangzi was blaming himself, and he suddenly blamed himself in his heart, and hurriedly hugged his fists.

"Haha, you don't have to be so nervous. Dao Yangzi said, while taking out a small notebook from his sleeve, handed it to Xu Xingchen, and admonished, "This is the transmission of the cultivation method I am talking about, and the number of surviving people is really rare. I only have this one, and I'll hand it over to you now, so you don't lose it!"

Xu Xingchen solemnly took the book from Daoyangzi's hand, and his heart was even more joyful, and he hurriedly thanked Daoyangzi.

The boy shone the book with the light of the fire before the tomb and looked at it carefully. But seeing that this secret book was only the size of a palm, and its thickness was much thinner than all the exercises he had ever seen in the Void Cloud Gate, one couldn't help but wonder if such a simple exercise would be useful. Its cover is very worn, many of the edges are frayed and torn, and the paper is all yellow, but the book has survived for more than three hundred years, and the fact that it has been preserved like this shows that Michiyoko loves him so much, and the preciousness of this secret book.

On the cover, a word is neatly printed with a small seal - "heart".

"This secret book is already a unique book, called the heart formula, it is said to be written by the descendants of the five emperors, gathering the wisdom of the ancestors. "Heart Formula" follows the ideas of Yin-Yang and Taoism, and combines the ancient ideas of mathematics with the theory of the five elements of Yin and Yang. ”

Xu Xingchen only felt that this seemingly ordinary secret book must be the best, coupled with Dao Yangzi's previous remarks, he was completely attracted, and hurriedly opened it to prepare to read it. But just as he was turning the first page, Dao Yangzi suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him.

"What's wrong, Master?"

Xu Xingchen asked puzzled.

"I have to explain to you, if you want to practice this kind of exercise, you must not rush forward, otherwise it will backfire, and you may even go mad. Also, don't let anyone in the Void Cloud Gate know that you have this secret book, lest you set yourself on fire. You know what?"

Daoyangzi said.

The rules of the Void Cloud Gate are strict, and not being able to practice the Outer Gate Dao Method is one of the most important ones, and all disciples must abide by it except for the people in the Yaoxiang Valley. Whoever violates the law will be punished severely.

However, Xu Xingchen knew that there were still people in the door who had secretly practiced other exercises, and they were not discovered by the Three Venerables of Xuyun, and the exercises were even more refined. Xu Xingchen thought that he could be like them, as long as he concealed it properly, he would be fine.

Xu Xingchen nodded and said, "Disciple, remember!"

Doyoko continued: "To practice this kind of exercise, you must sit in silence, put aside all kinds of distracting thoughts, and secretly recite the formula. As long as your mind is pure, you are not afraid of not succeeding in your cultivation. ”

"Yes, disciple remember Master's teachings!" Xu Xingchen replied with a fist.

The sky was still overcast, the moon was hidden behind stratus clouds, and the dim light was faintly revealed. The flames swayed coldly, Xu Xingchen only felt that everything was a miracle in his heart, looking at the stone tablet, the previous self-blame and loss were all vanished in this instant, and his confidence increased a little.

Daoyangzi looked up at the sky and saw that the moon was about to reach halfway, and the sky was getting darker, so he said to Xu Xingchen: "Disciple, it's already so late, and there are still some things waiting to be dealt with by the teacher in the Taoist temple, so don't leave it at that." Now that the heart trick is in your hands, after you return to the Void Cloud Gate, you must cultivate hard, and you will definitely succeed in learning in the future. ”

"Yes, Master, the apprentice will definitely live up to Master's expectations!" Xu Xingchen hugged his fists and secretly resolved in his heart that he must cultivate hard and avenge his mother and the spirit wolf clan.

Xu Xingchen looked at Dao Yangzi's back, gradually drifted away, turned around again, sat quietly in front of the firelight, opened the heart book again, and read it carefully.

The preface to the Yellow Emperor is above today, the scholars are the common arts, the great and the rise and fall of the world, because of the auspicious degree system, push away, to the heaven and earth are not born, and the immortal can not be examined and the original.

"The mind is the root and origin of all life. There is a saying: the source is clear, and the source is turbid. If the mind is pure, then all lives will be pure, and if the mind is strong, then the heart will be strong. Purity and firmness are the foundation of a cultivator, and only when the heart is pure and strong, can the Tao be more refined.

In the past, the martial saint Chunyuanzi, the heavenly capital was extremely mediocre, and there was almost no benefit in cultivating the exercises. Later, he entered the Yin and Yang family Zou Zi (during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the representative of the Yin and Yang family among the hundred schools of thought) to learn art. After Zou Zi returned to the West, he converted to Taoism. Chun Yuanzi studied art for a total of 17 years, absorbing Taoist and Yin-Yang thoughts, and his heart gradually became pure. Then he gradually had an epiphany, and finally learned something and became a generation of martial saints. ”

Xu Xingchen read it word by word, only feeling that this "Heart Formula" and Xuyun Exercise are really different, and it doesn't look like a martial arts cheats book at all.

And in the Xuyun Exercises, all the exercises recorded are mantras, and then there is nothing more than the importance of some talents, and the chicken soup for the soul that makes the disciples work hard the day after tomorrow, which is really boring and boring, and there is no interest at all. Especially when he read those discourses about talent, Xu Xingchen felt inferior.

Although Xu Xingchen worked hard to learn, he always felt that these Void Cloud Exercises were really boring.

But now that he is reading "Heart Formula", he only thinks that it is really novel and unique, as if there is an invisible magic, and it firmly sucks Xu Xingchen into it.

Xu Xingchen looked at it word by word, reading the story of this martial saint Chunyuanzi who had never heard of it before, and only felt that his experience was really similar to his own, and he should be much better than him, and he was even more confident in his heart, so he continued to read.

"When Chunyuanzi was in his twilight years, he received a disciple and taught him the cultivation method of that year. After the disciple completed his studies, he wrote the book "The Original Heart", and the "Heart Formula" appeared in the world at first. ”

Xu Xingchen only thought that this "Heart Formula" was particularly interesting, and sat quietly in front of the tomb and read it quietly. After reading a few pages, Xu Xingchen only felt that his soul was extremely transparent, and an unprecedented feeling of coolness poured into his body, which was extremely comfortable.

Before you know it, it's getting darker......
