The old woman's hair was all white, her silver hair was haphazardly tied with strips of linen-colored cloth, and her snow-white eyebrows hung almost down to her abdomen.

She was wearing a thick shabby cloth robe, which was supposed to be colored, but it had been washed and white, and it looked strange, like those wax figures in the Great Xia Museum five hundred years ago.

A sense of twilight came to the face.

"Your guest is here."

The mother-in-law had a smile in her voice.

He was leaning on a white natural wooden cane, without any carvings, and said with a smile: "I just said, early this morning, I heard the SAINT ANGELO chirping at the door." ”

"The village chief's mother-in-law is good."

Li Xiaofei saluted.

"Young man, the gods are as rich as jade." The mother-in-law praised with a smile.

"Mother-in-law, are you blind?" Ji Man covered his mouth with a smile, where is such a fat man worthy of the word 'abundant god like jade'.

The mother-in-law didn't explain either.

just pulled Li Xiaofei to say that his parents were short, and simply took him to visit around the tribal village, as if he was entertaining guests from afar.

also introduced Li Xiaofei to everyone in the village, saying that he was a distinguished guest of the village.

Soon, most of the people in the village knew about Li Xiaofei's arrival and existence, and they all responded with kindness.

The folk customs are simple.

This is Li Xiaofei's truest feeling.

It's really like what is described in "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring": "The land is flat, the houses are like houses, and there are fertile fields, beautiful ponds, and mulberry bamboos." Qianmo traffic, chickens and dogs smell each other. Among them, the men and women are dressed like outsiders. Yellow hair hangs down and is happy. ”

Everything here is pristine.

Li Xiaofei was a little curious.

Since Nangong Longjian has been secretly providing various resources, why is there no convenient means of transportation and electrical appliances and other daily necessities.

Or if there are some other modern facilities, the living conditions here will not be so primitive.

After all, providing these inconsequential non-strategic materials is very simple for Nangong Longjian, and it is completely a matter of effort.

Back to the reception hall.

The village chief's mother-in-law said with a smile: "We came here very early, it has been thousands of years, so we still prefer the previous way of life, those colorful tools and supplies in Chongque City are very magical, but they will change our lives, so we have not asked Nangong to provide them." ”

Li Xiaofei nodded thoughtfully.

The village chief's mother-in-law answered a deep doubt in his heart.

But the question is, did she guess that she was confused, or was she ...... Mind reading?

I always feel that this old woman who seems to be able to be blown down by a gust of wind is actually very simple.

I heard the village chief's mother-in-law say again: "Of course, there is another reason, the main practice we practice here is called 'Natural Gong', and the core purpose is the harmony between heaven and man, and the practice is natural. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain a primitive state of life in order to comprehend nature and improve cultivation, and too many supplies of modern society will destroy nature, destroy the cultivation environment, and also give birth to all kinds of unnecessary desires in the hearts of the villagers. ”

Li Xiaofei nodded repeatedly.

I see.

The honesty of the village chief's mother-in-law made him a little unexpected.

What surprised him even more was that after the village chief's mother-in-law finished speaking, she directly took out a piece of cyan animal skin, handed it over, and said, "Brother Chen'er can observe it, this is the 'natural skill' practiced by everyone in Taoyuan." ”

Li Xiaofei hesitated slightly and took the cyan animal skin.

Ah Qing next to him didn't say anything, and his expression was calm.

But Ji Man was a little surprised.

A pair of black and white watery and round peach blossom eyes, blinking and blinking, looked at Li Xiaofei carefully, as if he was discovering something, and wanted to see him through thoroughly.

Li Xiaofei looked down at the cyan animal skin.

At the top is the general chapter outline of 'Natural Skills'.

"There is a mixture of things, and they are born from nature. Lonely, independent and unchanging, circumferential and not dying, can be the mother of heaven and earth. I don't know its name, the strong word is called the way, and the strong name is big. The big is gone, the past is far away, and the far is reversed. Therefore, the road is big, the sky is big, the earth is big, and the people are big. There are four major domains, and people live in one of them. Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is the nature. ”

After reading this paragraph, Li Xiaofei opened his mouth.

Isn't that what Chapter 25 of the Tao Te Ching is about?

Is it the general outline of 'natural work'?

Isn't this exercise derived from the Tao Te Ching?

Li Xiaofei used to be in college, when he watched a lot, he often saw some settings that used the Tao Te Ching as a super exercise, and later when he followed one hundred and eight masters to learn traditional martial arts and ancient martial arts, he would also see some exercises that fit with the Tao Te Ching.

He himself had studied the Tao Te Ching.

I also know that countless top philosophers in the world, such as Hegel and others, have highly respected this text.

There is even such a saying in Great Xia-

"Morality is five thousand words,

How do you know that there is a word and a layer of heaven.

Ordinary people can know one place,

The body becomes a golden immortal. ”

But at that time, Li Xiaofei's martial arts were just scratching the surface, and he didn't have a deep understanding of martial arts, so he couldn't appreciate the Dao Zhi Zhi contained in these five thousand words.

At this time, I looked at it again and again, and I only felt that after reading the content of the twenty-fifth chapter of the "Tao Te Ching", my mind suddenly became white, and I was in a trance as if something was imprinted into the soul at once, and it seemed that I had not comprehended anything outside the world.

The village chief's mother-in-law looked at Li Xiaofei in a daze holding the cyan animal skin, and there was a shallow smile at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

"Hee-hee, dumbfounded." Ji Man covered his mouth and smiled, and between his words, there was some faint contempt.

I think that at the beginning, when she first watched this cyan animal skin, the whole person instantly became settled, and it also attracted a vision of lightning and thunder, which was called the best genius of Taoyuan talent throughout the ages, which shocked countless elders and villagers.

This so-called 'distinguished guest' from Chongque City actually looked at him blankly, which shows that those people in the outside world are not necessarily how strong and powerful they are, and they are not as good as themselves.

In the entire Taoyuan, there was only one person, and when he looked at this cyan animal skin, he was dumbfounded and did not react, and he couldn't understand it after thinking about it countless times.

It's Sister Aqing.

But although Sister A Qing is not good at cultivating "Natural Gong", her swordsmanship is very powerful, and she has an inexplicable power and diligence, so she is also very strong.

Li Xiaofei read the general outline and continued to look down.

The follow-up content is no longer the text of the Tao Te Ching, but some explanations and commentaries on breathing, walking, sitting and standing, movements, devouring the essence of the sun and the moon, meditation on the scene, and other cultivation insights in daily life.

Its content is more like a commentary on the twenty-fifth chapter of the Tao Te Ching.

It is divided into several layers.

The first layer is "the law of man, the law of the earth, the law of the sky, the law of heaven, and the law of nature".

Its cultivation method is more like pushing back from the content of the twenty-fifth chapter of the "Tao Te Ching" to the last paragraph, all the way to the sentence "There are things mixed together, and they are born from nature".

The content contained on the cyan animal skin was actually a secret fit with many of the internal refining techniques that he had been exposed to before.

In general, this "Natural Gong" has its own mysteries, integrating cultivation into every stage of daily life, sitting, walking, farming, labor, eating, sleeping, and paying attention to a kind of primitive accumulation of 'quantitative changes cause qualitative changes'.

Li Xiaofei has an intuition that if someone can adhere to "Natural Gong" from the beginning and maintain a state of 'doing nothing', maybe they can really reach the level of accumulation and blockbuster.

But for him, this exercise should be of greater reference value.

"There's no need to rush."

The village chief's mother-in-law said with a smile: "Brother Chen'er will stay first and watch carefully for one night." ”

Night.

Li Xiaofei lived in Taoyuan.

Under the moonlight, he lay on the bed and continued to look at the cyan hides.

Suddenly, there was the sound of hidden footsteps outside the door.

Then the door was pushed open.

A Qian image appeared, and as soon as he turned around, he walked in directly and burrowed into Li Xiaofei's bed.

"Yesterday I had an urgent matter at home, and I was going to finish the update, but it turned out to be very late.

The key is that now in the new backstage, chapters of less than 1000 words cannot be published, so you can't ask for leave in the book.

I'm going to have to be busy today.

Readers, forgive me."
