The next morning, Wu Xie and the others came downstairs to the inn again, and found that the originally humble hall had become magnificent, and the shopkeeper Li Xiaoyao had also changed into a cyan robe, and the sword at his waist was cold before it was unsheathed, forcing people to approach.

He is no longer smiling like he was a few days ago, he looks very serious with a straight face, and there is an invisible majesty that people with slightly inferior strength don't even dare to look at his face.

After everyone arrived and sat down, Li Xiaoyao raised his hand, and white light fell in front of everyone, turning into books hanging in the air. All the books are exactly the same, with five big characters printed on the cover - Taishang Naivety Theory.

"The theory of innocence is the method of cultivating immortals created by the Taishang Dao Ancestor in the past. Different from the general method of cultivating immortals, it focuses on spiritual cultivation, teaching people how to examine their own minds, erase those selfish distractions that hinder their true temperament, and restore their hearts to a natural and sincere state. Li Xiaoyao said solemnly, "Maybe you will feel that it can't bring you any benefits, but for immortal cultivators, mind cultivation is the most basic kung fu. ”

"I'll give you ten days, and if you haven't made any progress on April 25, you really lack comprehension and are not suitable for cultivating immortals. I will send them away, wash away their memories of this time, and give them a token to keep for their children and grandchildren. ”

With that, he walked out the door. His steps were obviously not big, but he walked to the door in only one step, and after two or three steps, he walked without a trace, leaving only more than twenty immortal seekers holding books and speechless.

These people can pass the first round of selection, and naturally they have their own advantages. In just a few moments, someone had already opened the book and studied it carefully.

Ten days is a lot to say, but it's not really much, since this is too naïve and naïve, it must be very difficult and profound, didn't you hear that the immortals only asked for "progress"? Hurry up and study hard!

Wu Xie also thought so, but when he opened the book and looked at it, he was taken aback.

The content of this book is not at all profound, on the contrary, very simple.

"Everyone always has a lot of ideas: they want a lot of things, they want others to pay attention to themselves, they want to live better than others, they want to enjoy themselves, they want to be free, they want to live forever, they want to live a long and healthy life...... Even want to live forever. ”

"These thoughts are everywhere and all the time, and I call them desire."

"Desire is not a bad thing, desire is the source of the strength of all actions, it is precisely because we want to get, so we will work hard, will continue to improve, and even finally transcend the mundane and achieve immortal immortals."

"But here, I have a question."

"What is your most important desire?"

"It's hard to answer this question, and it's rare for someone to really answer it all at once, and the more you think about it, the more confused you become, and you find that you have too many desires to count, and you don't know what you want."

"And how to help you find your most important desire is the reason why I created the 'naivety theory'......"

In the following pages, the book lists a lot of problems, so that people can examine their hearts according to these questions, compare and screen their various desires, and exclude those that are not important one by one, leaving only the important ones; Then compare the important desires with each other, consider which ones can be given up and which ones must be persevered, and finally find your most important desires.

These words were simple and straightforward, and there was no esoteric feeling of the secret method of the Immortal Family, so that Wu Xie had a sense of absurdity and unreality.

He frowned, closed the book, looked around, and saw that almost all the immortal seekers were immersed in hard reading, only Luo Yu sat in the corner and closed his eyes to recuperate, and the book in front of him was closed. I still haven't read it at all.

Wu Xie is actually not a wordy person, but at this moment, he is really full of doubts and unhappy, and seeing that Luo Yu seems to be very confident, he can't help but walk over.

"Excuse me—"

Before Wu Xie could explain his intentions, Luo Yu had already opened his eyes, looked at him with a little surprise, and asked before him, "Have you finished reading?" ”

Wu Xie nodded.

"Got it?"

Wu Xie nodded again.

"Do you really understand what it's talking about?" Luo Yu's voice couldn't help but be a little louder, and his face was full of surprise.

Wu Xie nodded suspiciously.

“…… Explain it to me! ”

Wu Xie nodded again, wanting to explain, but found that he couldn't say anything when he opened his mouth - he knew the meaning of the book very well, and he was sure that he could explain it in a few words, but he couldn't speak, and he couldn't even make the correct mouth shape, as if his mouth suddenly lost its function.

Seeing him open and close his mouth in vain like a fish out of water, but couldn't even say half a word, Luo Yu not only didn't feel funny about this funny appearance, but became more and more shocked, almost to the point of losing his face.

"You really understand ......"

Her voice was as dry as if she hadn't drunk water for a few days, full of frustration: "The Tao is unspeakable, and those who can speak are not righteous; If you can't be famous, you can't be naïve...... It took me almost ten years to barely understand the theory of naivety, and you actually understood it in a while...... Don't waste any more effort, you look at my book. ”

As she spoke, she opened her book of naivety, Wu Xie looked at it curiously, but only saw a blank space, not a word.

He was taken aback, and quickly opened his book, but what he saw was still those familiar words.

Odd! Why do you want to read other people's books as blank as you read your own books?

A flash of lightning suddenly flashed in his heart, and the whole person froze in place, unable to move.

Simplified characters?!

How can there be simplified Chinese characters in this world?! How can there be a book written in simplified Chinese?!

Regardless of the faux pas, he hurriedly used his hand as a pen to write the word "heaven" on Luo Yu's desk, and asked, "Do you know this word?" ”

Luo Yu looked at it, thought about it, and shook his head.

Wu Jie's eyes widened, he looked at her, looked at the book he had in hand, and looked at her book.

On the covers of the two books, there are five clear simplified Chinese characters: Taishang Naivety Theory.

Probably because his expression was a little terrible at the moment, Luo Yu was also frightened and shrank slightly, but she quickly came back to her senses and explained to Wu Jie: "There is actually not a word in this book, it is the writer who has concentrated his understanding of the 'naïve theory' into it, and manifested different words according to each reader's understanding - immortal classics, most of which are like this." ”

Words don't convey the mind correctly, so we need to teach it in this way. You see that there are words in your book and there are no words in my book, and that's because every book is for us personally, protected by magic, and only allowed to be read by those who have been approved. Unless you have the ability to break the spells in my book, you can only see the blanks. ”

Wu Xie Muran nodded, he had been shocked too much, and he was speechless for a while.

"I don't know what kind of amazing understanding you have, or what kind of magical encounters you have, but since it only took you such a short time to comprehend the 'naivety theory', then I believe that getting started is already a sure thing." Luo Yu quickly calmed down and smiled dignified and elegant, "Let me introduce myself in advance, I am Luo Yu, from Yunmeng County, the southernmost part of the world, probably ...... I'll be your sister. ”

Wu Xie was not surprised by this, judging from Luo Yu's words and performance, she was clearly a person in the Immortal Dao. Coming here to seek immortals probably belongs to the nature of international students. If he had any doubts, he just wondered why the other party would study with them, and he didn't get started directly.

So he asked the question.

"Where do I come from...... In the future, you will have the opportunity to know the Tao of nature. I admit that I am indeed a person in the fairy path, but what I have learned before is not suitable for me, and it took a lot of effort to come to Qingyangguan to study this time. Luo Yu sighed lightly, looking a little melancholy, "But the rules cannot be abandoned, if you want to get started, you have to follow the rules." ”

"Qingyang View is famous?"

"Qingyang Guan is one of the few sects in the world that has the true transmission of the Great Dao that can directly point to the ascension, and its origin is as far as the legendary ancient times, and it has been passed down for twenty-six generations now...... The immortal family is a short generation of a hundred years, a thousand years long, and twenty-six generations...... I don't know how many dynasties have changed in the mortal world, and even the sea has become a mulberry field......"

She quickly cleaned up her mood and returned to her usual dignified demeanor: "Don't mention these boring things, in short, if you don't understand something, you can ask me." Although I can't guide you on the fairy road, I can still explain some common sense things a little. ”

Speaking of this, she smiled: "After talking for a long time, I haven't asked this junior brother's honorific name......

"Wu Jie, the people of Zhaoyang County of Southern Chu State."

When these words came out, Luo Yu couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly asked, "Which Wu Jie?" Could it be the Southern Chu State Ji Shihou who promoted the method of epidemic prevention, and Wu Jie, who edited the "Treatise on Bacteria"? ”

"Exactly."

"You're so young?!" Luo Yu stood up in surprise, "I have read your book, and I think the ideas are really unexpected, but the arguments are meticulous and impeccable...... Do you know that when the book came out, how many Immortal Dao seniors beat their chests, and some people even vomited blood sadly! ”

"For what?" Wu Xie also wondered, it's just a copy of "Treatise on Bacteria", and it's not a great reason, as for making those immortals so sad?

"In the old days, the Buddha had clouds, and there were 84,000 insects in a bowl of water. This has long been confirmed by the predecessors of the Xianmen, there are indeed so many subtle insects in the water, and they have even drawn the shapes of many insects. But all the research ends here, whether there are insects in the water or not, it is just the nature of the growth of heaven and earth, there is nothing to care about, and it is not worth delaying the pursuit of the road of immortality for it...... That's what everyone thought before your "Treatise on Germs" came out. ”

"But you deduce these insects as a mere mortal, and then prove their relationship with disease...... Do you know how many lives will be saved and how many merits will be accumulated if this book is published in the world? ”

"I think I kind of see what you mean......"

"Yes! Those predecessors had discovered the 'bacteria' a long time ago, but because they had not studied what they were doing, they missed this important discovery, and the great merit was missed through the cracks of their fingers—if the evil sect was to fall, the cultivation and growth of people in the righteous path, and even the most profound tribulation and ascension, the merit was extremely important. I don't know how many predecessors in the Dao are because of the lack of accumulation of merits, so that they dare not cross the tribulation and cannot ascend, so they can only toss and turn around and start all over again......"

Luo Yu sighed deeply, and looked at Wu Xie with a little more envy and closeness than admiration.

"I said before that I might become your senior sister, which is really arrogant! With your achievements, whether you can get started or not, I should call you a brother! ”

She stood up and bowed respectfully: "Luo Yu to see Brother Dao, if there is a fate in the future, please ask Brother Dao for more advice!" ”
