After noon on the second day, Li Ling came to the top of Yunshan as usual, but he was carrying two pots of wine in his hands. As soon as he stepped on the top of the mountain, Li Ling saw that on the boulder of yesterday, the gray-clothed Taoist had been waiting impatiently, and when he saw Li Ling coming, he shouted excitedly.

"Hey, hey, little drunkard, why are you here so late today? I'm suffocating, hurry, throw me the wine. ”

Seeing this, Li Ling smiled helplessly, and then threw one of the pots of wine over. The gray-clothed Taoist took the wine jug, and drank like a vicious dog seeing a bone.

"Dao Chief, drink slowly! I'm still out of drinking! ”

"Nonsense, I haven't drunk wine for a year this time, if it weren't for your pot of wine yesterday, I would really be suffocated! But this time it's really strange, every time my senior brother forces me to quit drinking, it won't take more than three days, but this time, he actually locked me in a secret room and let me concentrate on cultivation, this level is a year! And during this year, the senior brother never looked at me, and only sent a named disciple to deliver food every day, if it wasn't for the negligence of the disciple who delivered the meal yesterday, Lao Tzu still didn't know that he would be imprisoned until the Year of the Monkey? ”

"That's because your senior brother feels sorry for you, after all, drinking hurts your body and heart, it's better to drink less!"

"If you don't talk cool there, what will happen if you are locked up and you are not given wine for a month?"

"In less than a month, I don't think I'll live for more than three days!" Li Ling said with a smile.

"I'll just say it! Only an alcoholic can understand a drunkard! Oh yes! One more thing, boy, you're a registered disciple copying books in the Scripture Pavilion, right? ”

"That's right!"

"Then you must be writing well?"

"It's so-so, as long as you don't drink, you can still make do with it!"

"Okay, that's okay, I have a scripture here, I need to write it down, can you do it?"

"Of course, this is my old job, of course it's no problem."

"Okay, that'll do. But I've got something going on these days and needs to go down the mountain, so you'll have to sort it out when I get back. I'll start reading it now, you remember, and when I go back, I'll write it down in a book, and after seven days, I'll give it to me here, okay? ”

"Yes, please!" With that, Li Ling picked up the wine jug and began to drink wildly.

And the gray-clothed Taoist did not stop because Li Ling was drinking, and kept reciting esoteric scriptures in his mouth.

"Everything in the world is born from being, and some are born from nothing. At the beginning of the void, there was no image, the heaven and the earth were not opened, the chaos was not divided, the yin and yang were formless, the movement and stillness had no beginning, and the vitality was mixed and unified. Wuji has the ability to give birth to heaven and earth, and all-encompassing righteousness. Empty, empty, chaotic, colorless, phaseless, soundless, odorless, gratuitous and formless, nothing but all things......"

Speaking of this, the man in gray squinted at Li Ling next to him, Li Ling was still gulping down, as if he was not listening.

"Boy, are you listening? You can't make a mistake in what I'm talking about! If you can't, I can find someone else to write for you. The gray-clothed Taoist said unhappily.

When Li Ling heard this, he smiled faintly, and then began to recite silently.

"Everything in the world is born from being, and some are born from nothing. At the beginning of the void, there was no image, the heaven and the earth were not opened, the chaos was not divided, the yin and yang were formless, the movement and stillness had no beginning, and the vitality was mixed and unified. Wuji has the ability to give birth to heaven and earth, and all-encompassing righteousness. Empty, chaotic, colorless, phaseless, soundless, odorless, gratuitous and formless, nothing encompasses all things. Dao Chief, do I have a mistake in memorizing? ”

"I didn't ...... No...... You've got a good back! You have a good memory, so I'm relieved! With that, the gray-clothed Taoist man continued to read.

"Wuji seems to belong to stillness, and the word seems to belong to movement. There is no extreme body, and one word is also used. Infinite and moving all things are born, static and immobile are vacuums, and moving and energy are born into non-emptiness. Static or moving, vacuum is not empty, nothing is in and is not infinite. There is nothing wrong with one, and there is nothing wrong with one word. Therefore, one is the root of all things, and the master of all things. All things are born of one, and all things are not separated from one. The big universe has a master, and the small thing has a master. Everything is born of one, and all are made of one. One is the innate wonder of the infinite truth, the most divine and the brightest, also known as the reason. Although this principle is seen and heard, it is a thing that cannot be left behind. Therefore the reason permeates all things in heaven and earth, and all things in heaven and earth have their own reason......"

Half an hour later, the gray-clothed Taoist finally stopped, and Li Ling slowly opened his eyes.

"What, do you remember clearly?" The gray-clothed Taoist asked.

"Well, remember! Seven days later, still here, I will give you the books I have put together! By the way, this passage seems to be a profound and subtle method of monasticism...... I don't know ......."

"Yes, this scripture is indeed some of my cultivation insights, and it is also a kind of practice method that I have created, you can also carefully understand the truth while transcribing and sorting it out, if you get a glimpse of the mystery, it will also be of great benefit to you."

"Forget it, I'm only responsible for transcribing and sorting, and I don't care about the rest." Li Ling smiled faintly.

"Well, whatever you want!" The gray-clothed Taoist said casually.

"Well, I understand! Seven days later, still here, I will give you the books that I have put together. Okay, it's not too early, I should go back, or I'll be crazy again, Dao Chief, goodbye. With that, Li Ling put away the wine jug and hurriedly left the top of Yunshan.

After Li Ling came down the mountain, the gray-clothed Taoist had a cunning look in his eyes and said to himself: "Hmph! Lao Tzu, I never owe anyone in my life, and if I drink your wine, I will have to pay for the wine, so that you don't come to me in the future. Since you don't want it, I can only force it to you! Don't you love martial arts? Hmph, I want you to learn! My own supernatural powers? Hmph, with my virtue, I can create a fart! Senior brother once and now strictly ordered me to teach me that I am not allowed to teach my master's supernatural powers to others at will, but what I passed on to you is not the mental method of this sect, hehe! This Wuji Xuanyi Divine Skill is the supernatural mind method that my senior brother practiced when he was young, and it is the so-called Wuji Xuan, the law uses all things, and when the time comes, even if you don't want to learn, you can't help it. ”

"The most wonderful thing about this Wuji Xuanyi Divine Skill is that it can be self-taught without a teacher, to learn this magical power, the most important personal understanding, I think that stinky boy just now has a lot of wisdom, and his understanding is not bad, through transcribing the Heart Sutra, he will be able to comprehend the essence of the mystery, and when the time comes, even if you don't want to learn, it won't work." After saying that, the gray-clothed Taoist nodded with satisfaction, and then strode away from the top of Cloud Mountain.

……

In the next few days, in addition to going to the scripture building every day to copy books, Li Ling also sorted out the scriptures for the gray-clothed Taoist. However, the more Li Ling sorted out and pondered, the more he found that the scriptures that the gray-clothed Taoist asked him to sort out were broad and profound, and the mysteries were endless. At first, Li Ling was only responsible for sorting out, but later, Li Ling began to take the initiative to study the mental method and explore the mysteries in the scriptures.

On this day, Yun Kexin came to the door of the firewood room and yelled angrily at the house.

"Li Ling, you big slacker! You've been in the house for three days, and if you don't come out again, I'll go in and ask you to look good. Originally, I thought you were a diligent person, but after only a few days, your true colors were exposed. In addition to drinking all day, you are sleeping, I see, you are not just a slacker, you are also a complete drunkard! Li Ling, did you hear that? Get out of here! ”

Just as Yun Kexin was scolding, the door of the firewood room suddenly opened, and Li Ling walked out slowly.

Seeing Yun Ke's anxious look, Li Ling couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, okay, Xin'er, I'm fine!" It's just that I've been in a hurry to help others sort out the scriptures for the past two days, so ...... It's okay now, the scriptures have been sorted out! As he spoke, Li Ling took out a thick blue booklet from his arms.

Yun Kexin looked at the book in Li Ling's hand and said unhappily: "Hmph! Copy books, copy books, why are you mysterious, like a thief! Well, in that case, I don't care about you, I still have a lot of things to do. ”

After finishing speaking, Yun Kexin took out an oiled paper bag from his arms and threw it to Li Ling, and then strode away.

After Yun Kexin walked away, Li Ling opened the oiled paper bag, which turned out to be three hot steamed buns. Looking at the steamed buns in the bag, Li Ling's eyes moistened a little. Since Nanping was destroyed and the country was ruined, this is the first time Li Ling really feels at home, although Yun Kexin is not a beautiful woman with a national color and fragrance, it can even be said that her appearance is flawed, but she is kind, simple, and lovely, just like a ray of warm sunshine, soothing Li Ling's already cold heart. At this moment, Li Ling even had an impulse, even if he stayed in Yunshan all his life, so what! Accompanied by beautiful women, accompanied by fine wine, sunrise and sunset, plain and bland, this may be what Li Ling has been pursuing.

Thinking of this, Li Ling put away the steamed buns and walked to the top of Yunshan alone.

Next to the boulder on the top of Cloud Mountain, Li Ling waited for three hours, and he didn't go home until late at night, but the gray-clothed Taoist never appeared.

On the second day, Li Ling stepped on the top of Yunshan again, but there was still no trace of the gray-clothed Taoist.

And that's it, day after day. On the seventh day, Li Ling was puzzled. "What's going on these days? It's been seven full days since I made an appointment with that Dao Chief, isn't he coming? But the scriptures have been put together, so is there something he is delaying? Or he was locked up by his brother again and quit drinking. Hey, helpless......"

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Ling really couldn't think of a reason, so he had to give up on this matter. After returning to his residence, Li Ling put away the books that had been arranged, planning to meet again in the future, and return them to the gray-clothed Taoist.

After that, Li Ling's life returned to its former calm, going to the Tibetan Scripture Building every day to copy books, watching the sunset and drinking in the afternoon, and chatting with Yun Kexin in the evening.

But what others don't know is that after the day is over, when no one is there at night, Li Ling will practice on his own according to the scriptures taught by the gray-clothed Taoist.

But as Li Ling's cultivation deepened, the more he cultivated, the more addicted he became, just like the temptation of food to gluttonous ghosts and fine wine to drunkards, making people unable to extricate themselves. Moreover, as his cultivation improved little by little, the more Li Ling discovered the wonders of all kinds of methods in the scriptures, and over time, cultivation became a habit of Li Ling's day, just like eating and drinking water, which could not be interrupted for a day.
