On the second day, the sky was clear, and the sun shone like broken gold all over the ground.

Zhao Rang's mood was uplifted by the sunny weather, and he happily went to Lan Shizi's banquet according to the agreement the day before.

The place invited by Lan Shizi is located in the west of Zhenhai City, far away from the hustle and bustle, hidden deep in the mountains.

This mountain is extraordinary.

Its momentum is majestic, and the cliffs are thousands, as if a giant dragon is leaping and rolling in the clouds and mist, swallowing thousands of miles.

Looking away from afar, the mountains are like waves, the peaks and peaks are like swords, and the strange rocks and strange stones set off each other, and it becomes a magnificent natural picture.

In the mountains, the ancient trees are towering and lush, like green curtains covering the sky and the sun.

These towering ancient trees, after the wind, frost, rain and snow, the vicissitudes of time, their branches twist and hover, like a dragon rising.

Whenever the mountain breeze blows, the leaves rustle, like the sound of heaven.

In the deep and secluded mountain forest, Lan Shizi's residence looms, quietly embedded in the mountains.

This is a mansion built against the mountain, and it makes clever use of the high and low terrain.

The architectural style of the mansion is simple and elegant, with eaves and corners, like a phoenix dancing for nine days, showing an otherworldly beauty. Under the illumination of the sun, Biwa Zhuyong shines brightly, like a fairyland on earth.

Zhao Rang walked slowly along the winding mountain road, and the mountain flowers bloomed along the way, which was dizzying. The mountain stream is crystal clear, and the water is babbling and tinkling.

The birds singing and the flowers in the mountains and the murmuring of the flowing water all reveal a simple and quiet charm, which is refreshing and pleasant.

Finally, Zhao Rang came to the door of the mansion.

Looking up, I saw the tall gatehouse towering and majestic. There is a golden plaque inlaid on the gatehouse, on which are written the two big characters "Blue House".

These two words are strong and powerful, and the iron painting silver hook reveals an extraordinary bearing.

There was already a doorman in front of the door to greet him respectfully. They were dressed in uniform and looked solemn and respectful.

Seeing Zhao Rang's arrival, they bowed down one after another to show respect.

Walking through the corridors, stepping through the corridors, these corridors and corridors, like winding ribbons, sometimes lead him to the spacious and bright world, sometimes lead him into the narrow and dark world. With each step, the soles of the shoes touch the bluestone floor, making a crisp and melodious sound, like a quiet and ancient music, echoing in this empty and quiet space.

The layout of the building is like an unfinished chess game, with each piece placed in just the right place. In every corner, there are hidden ingenuity of craftsmen, like mysteries to be solved, waiting to be discovered.

At the end of the promenade, there is a spacious courtyard.

In the courtyard, all kinds of rare flowers gather together, fresh and elegant, exuding a faint fragrance, refreshing people's hearts.

Small and delicate rockeries are scattered and scattered. These rockeries are steep and straight, like a sharp sword reaching into the sky. There are also several clear springs that flow through the rockery, forming streams and small waterfalls.

Under the sunshine, the clear spring shimmers with crystal light, like pearls sprinkled on the world.

A few cranes leisurely stroll in the courtyard to feed, adding a touch of fairy air to the whole courtyard, as if this is an isolated paradise.

As for the hall, it is even more carved beams and paintings, as if the whole world is condensed in this square inch!

The roof is inlaid with exquisite caissons, and the painted patterns are colorful and lifelike. The walls around it are covered with calligraphy, paintings and antiques, each of which is a priceless treasure.

Lan Shizi even prepared a bedroom for every guest. The beds are covered with soft quilts and silk sheets.

These alone, some of them have never even been seen by Zhao Rang!

Lan Shizi was already waiting in the patio in front of the hall.

Seeing Zhao Rang's arrival, his face was full of smiles. He stepped forward and bowed his hand.

Zhao Rang returned the favor with a smile:

"Lan Dao Chief is too polite. It is an honor to be invited to visit this wonderland. ”

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Lan Shizi led Zhao Rang to the table.

The feast was held under a gazebo at the back of the hall.

The light yarn is fluttering all around, and the fragrance of flowers hits people.

The table is full of delicacies, elixir and jade liquid, which is dizzying.

After Zhao Rang sat down, he looked around and saw that the guests were like clouds, all dressed in brocade clothes, and their bearing was extraordinary.

With the sound of silk and bamboo, the dancing girls rushed in, their clothes fluttering, like fairies descending to earth. Guests raised their glasses and chatted and laughed.

"Lan Dao Chang has such a big battle today, it is estimated that he is not just drinking wine and eating vegetables, right?"

Zhao Rang sat at the head of the guests, next to Lan Shizi.

But as soon as the feast began, he held a wine glass and a dancing girl holding a pot and toasted everywhere.

Now that he finally came back and sat down, Zhao Rang hurriedly asked.

Lan Shizi looked at the wine in the cup, as if there was still a foundation left, so he drank it all by himself.

Then he turned his head and was just about to say something to Zhao Rang, but the guests he toasted just now got up and toasted back.

I don't know how long it took to go back and forth...... The other guests were already asleep because of their strength, and Lan Shizi was empty.

"Zhao Gongzi take care of it! As you can see, my mouth hasn't stopped for the past two hours! It's either coping or drinking! ”

Zhao Rang laughed, patted Lan Shizi on the shoulder, and said:

"What do you have to do with each other? That's a lifelong friendship! ”

Lan Shizi knew that Zhao Rang was talking about the first time the two of them met that day, and then they were attacked.

It wouldn't be difficult for him to get out of his hands if he could, but lately he's been caught up in something else.

Whether it is public or private, he is still clear.

Then it is more important to prioritize.

"What did Zhao Gongzi want to ask just now?"

Zhao Rang had to repeat:

"I want to ask Lan Dao Chang what is the purpose of such a battle?"

Lan Daochang hooked the corners of his mouth, leaned a little closer to Zhao Rang's ear, and said:

"Of course, it's a message to the world!"

"The world?"

Zhao Rang was puzzled.

What does a big banquet in a mansion in the mountains and forests have to do with this world?

Lan Shizi, as a member of the Taoist sect of Baihe Mountain, was originally a monk. Even if the world is already in chaos, what does it have to do with him?

However, Zhao Rang thought about it carefully, and sorted out all kinds of causes and consequences in his mind, and suddenly understood that this was probably not something that Lan Shizi could do by himself, and it was estimated that there was still the will of the entire Baihe Mountain, especially the attitude of that senior uncle.

"Where you are, where you are, where is the world!"

Lan Shizi said.

"So the world here is Zhenhai City?"

Zhao Rang asked rhetorically.

"Of course!"

When Lan Shizi said these two words, a moment of remembrance suddenly flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by the smell of wine.

The voice is getting louder and louder, like a golden iron horse!

Zhao Rang sighed secretly in his heart......

He knew that Lan Shizi of that day was probably gone.

Just like Boss Hu is his loyal dog, why is he not raised by Baihe Mountain?

The difference is that Lan Shizi is more wild, and he has a desperate spirit of sacrifice to achieve his goal.

But this is also the most terrifying thing about him.

After all, the wild dog doesn't need a tombstone, it just needs to run forward and bite until its body and mind are rotten.

So Zhao Rang wisely chose to be quiet.

Quiet drinking.

One cup at a time, without stopping.

He also did not refuse to toast others.

After all, the guests know that they can be in this position, and they will never be ordinary people.

Like a drunkard who sincerely wants to get himself drunk.

Because he knows that the only thing that can deal with wild dogs that run non-stop is drunk people who don't stop drinking!

In a blink of an eye, most of the guests were already drunk, and Lan Shizi suddenly clapped his hands, only to see a group of maids holding brocade boxes and fish.

Lan Shizi smiled and opened one of the brocade boxes, revealing a yellowed book.

"Zhao Gongzi, this is ...... A little care, please smile. ”

When Lan Shizi said this, he stretched out his right index finger and pointed to the sky.

The Nine Heavens are not only the place where Lu Zu ascends, but also the place where the uncle of Baihe Mountain cultivates.

It seems that I was completely right!

Recently, all the actions of Baiheshan in Zhenhai City, Lan Shizi was pushed on the marionette in front of the stage.

The real informant is the uncle who "didn't hear about the affairs of the world for a long time".

Zhao Rang took a look, and there were four big characters written on the cover, but due to serious wear, he couldn't see the specifics clearly.

"His old man has recently been sorting out the Daozang left by the man in the mountain gate. found that this should be of some use to Zhao Gongzi, so I asked someone to send it quickly, and asked me to hand it over to you personally! ”

"Then thank you Lan Dao Chief."

Zhao Rang thanked him.

This is not the time to be polite.

What's more, the last time he came down from Baihe Mountain, Uncle Shi also asked the two children to send a burden, and he didn't refuse.

Among them, a flying sword qi sealed in the title deed also saved his life!

"Please also ask Lan Dao Elder to say hello to my uncle and ancestor on my behalf."

"Definitely, definitely."

Lan Shizi replied with a smile on his face.

After the two chatted a few more words, the banquet also came to an end. The guests got up one after another to say goodbye, and Zhao Rang also left the banquet place with the flow of people and returned to the bedroom prepared by Lan Shizi.

He touched the book in his arms, and thought to himself......

"Explore the seclusion of the road, find the traces of the road. The Tao contains five secrets, and those who understand it become successful. The five secret collections are gathered in the heart, and they are transported day and night. The principle of heaven and earth exists in all things, and all things are born out of nothingness. ”

"Man is the spirit of nothingness, gathering the essence of heaven and earth, weaving the silk of desire, and giving birth to yin and yang. The two qi turnover, the bright rise and the dark fall to become the heaven and the earth. The sky is the curtain of the rotation of the stars, the earth is the bed of the undulating dragon veins, and people are the heart of yin and yang, stabilizing the heaven and the earth. ”

"However, human nature is obscure, and human hearts are dull. Without the guidance of the Dao Law, it is hidden in the intertwining of yin and yang, and the heaven and earth are out of order; The guidance of the Dao Law can help each other with static movement, and the five elements can be born together. For example, gold can give birth to water, danger can turn around, darkness can be born in light, and sorrow is finally happy. ”

"Whoever is reasonable, he can travel far; Those who go against the way of heaven will collapse if they do it, so they will deduce the path of cultivation. Heaven and earth borrow the breath of yin and yang, yin and yang borrow the agility of all things, and people borrow the changes of yin and yang of heaven and earth, so the three worlds have their place and stretch endlessly. ”

Those who want to win yin and yang must first turn yin and yang for my use; If you want to win the world, you will push the yin and yang heaven and the earth; If you want to win change and steal the mystery of time, you have to know it. The stars in the sky are orderly, and the cycle of the sun and the moon is constant. Since he cultivates the Dao Law, he will build a ladder. The method of the introduction of the road is forced, and the ladder is ......"

Zhao Rang sat cross-legged in the bedroom and read the general outline of the book.

There was silence all around, except for the faint sound of his breathing echoing through the air.

With a flick of his fingers, the lights in the room went out in an instant, plunging into darkness. The mind sank into the body, and the nine real aperture twinkled like stars, and the aperture of nothingness was like a black hole deep.

He guided his breath like a long stream of water, peaceful and steady, until the breath penetrated deep into the dantian and touched the yin and yang poles where the source of strength was located.

The nine orifices gradually closed, and he lifted a pillar of strength and swam between the yin and yang poles.

This energy is as agile as a swimming dragon, fusing yin and yang, and turning into a powerful force.

Embrace this breath and let it stay in the yin and yang poles for a long time, not scattering or messing.

As time passed, Zhao Rang's dantian began to conjure up various scenes. Mountains, rivers, and living beings in the world, these illusions are like dreams, but they are clearly visible, until there is a thunderous sound in the dantian.

At the center of the yin and yang poles, a whole new world begins to take shape, full of life and vitality, as if it were a shrunken universe.

In this world, Zhao Rang saw his past experiences and the infinite possibilities of the future.

Suddenly, a scorching fire energy rushed out from the Pleiades and rushed straight to the yin and yang poles.

This energy was as agile as a fiery snake, and it instantly merged into that small world. Zhao Rang guided this energy, allowing it to merge with the true breath and turn into a human form.

This figure wears a golden crown, armor, and a jade talisman, and is majestic.

Zhao Rang felt a burst of surprise, this turned out to be the prototype of the three grades of martial arts, the great grandmaster's law!

The Dharma of the Great Grandmaster is a strange phenomenon born by chance when the martial arts practice reaches the realm of the three grades. It is not only a reflection of the inner world of the practitioner, but also a concrete embodiment of his martial will and strength. Every martial artist who has cultivated the Dharma of the Great Grandmaster is unique in his Dharma Phase, and his Dharma Physiognomy is different in terms of form, structure, and abilities.

This Dharma is like a practitioner's alter ego, acting as the creator and master in its small world. It can reshape a world full of vitality and vitality with the power of yin and yang as the cornerstone, and the sincere heart of the practitioner as the bond. In this world, mountains, rivers, and human beings are recreated according to the will and imagination of the practitioners.

In addition, it is the embodiment of his mood and Taoism.

Whenever a practitioner throws their spirit into the Dharma, they become one with the Dharma, and in this state, the practitioner seems to be able to control everything, create everything, and become the true master of his own little world.

But the Dharma of the Great Grandmaster is not an easy thing to obtain.

It requires a practitioner to have extremely high talent and profound cultivation, and it also needs to be born under certain circumstances.

Therefore, there are very few martial artists who can cultivate the Dharma of the Great Grandmaster...... Each of them is a leader and legend in the martial arts world.

Now Zhao Rang's cultivation can be regarded as worthy of entering the four realms, but because of a few paragraphs in the general outline of this book, the 'potential' in the body has been aroused, and then the prototype of the great grandmaster's law has appeared, which can be described as an unprecedented thing......

I saw the great grandmaster waving the jade talisman in his hand, turning into countless rays of light.

These rays of light are like rainbows, illuminating the whole small world.

Then, the Grand Master Faxiang summoned the fire energy again, turned into a fire phoenix, and danced in the glow.

In the small world, the great master Dharma Xiang takes the energy produced by the two poles of yin and yang as the cornerstone, and uses the true breath as the link to connect the whole world, reshaping the mountains, rivers, and living beings in the world.

When the Great Grandmaster Fa Xiang finished the construction of the small world, he turned to look at Zhao Rang.

Although he couldn't see his face clearly, Zhao Rang could feel the depth revealed in those eyes!

Zhao Rang took a deep breath and threw his spirit into the Great Grandmaster's Dharma, feeling as if he had merged with the Great Grandmaster's Dharma......

I don't know how long it took, Zhao Rang felt a wave of exhaustion hit him, and he slowly withdrew from the Great Grandmaster Law Aspect and returned to his body.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that the darkness I had seen was still there.

The next day, Zhao Rang woke up early, he felt full of energy and energy.

When he came to Lan Shizi's residence, he found him sitting in the courtyard, holding a Taoist scripture in his hand, and studying it.

Seeing Zhao Rang, Lan Shizi stood up with a smile and greeted him:

"Zhao Gongzi, how was your rest last night?"

"Thank you Lan Dao Chang for your concern, I have a good rest."

Zhao Rang replied.

"That's good."

Lan Shizi nodded, and asked again:

"Zhao Gongzi, did you gain anything last night?"

Zhao Rang smiled slightly and said:

"Lan Dao Chief, I did understand something last night, but there are still many things that are not clear."

When Lan Shizi heard this, a trace of appreciation flashed in his eyes, he knew that Zhao Rang had made a breakthrough, but he didn't say too much, but asked sideways:

"Zhao Gongzi, what do you think is the Tao in this world?"

Zhao Rang pondered for a moment and said slowly:

"Tao is the natural law between heaven and earth, the law of the growth of all things, and the supreme principle of people's hearts. It is formless, yet omnipresent, guiding everything in the world. ”

"So, what do you think is the relationship between martial arts and Taoism?"

Zhao Rang pondered and replied:

"Martial arts is to practice by oneself, to improve oneself through cultivation, and to reach the realm of harmony with the Tao. Through continuous cultivation, martial artists perceive the way of heaven and earth, and finally achieve the unity of body and mind, and walk with the Tao. ”

Lan Shizi smiled and said:

What Zhao Gongzi said was very true. Martial arts practice is actually a journey of self-exploration and understanding of the way of heaven and earth. And what you comprehended last night was the initial stage of the integration of martial arts and Taoism. ”

Zhao Rang's heart moved, as if he had grasped some key, and he asked:

"Lan Dao Chief, how can we go one step further and reach a higher realm?"

Lan Shizi stood up, walked to an ancient tree in the courtyard, pointed to the annual rings on the trunk, and said:

"Look at this tree, the years have left traces on its body, and each ring records its growth. The same is true of martial arts practice, every breakthrough is a transcendence of self and a deeper understanding of the Tao. Martial arts cultivation is not only the improvement of strength, but also the growth of the soul and the understanding of the Tao. ”

"These are actually scattered in the Dao Treasures collected by Baihe Mountain. Uncle Shi has been sorting it out recently. With his old man personally shooting, it must not be long before the finished product will come out. With the relationship between Zhao Gongzi and our Baiheshan, he will definitely invite guests to watch the ceremony. When the time comes, if you want to go further in this way, with Zhao Gongzi's talent, it's not a matter of holding a handle?! ”

Zhao Rang's eyes were full of surprise, and he said again and again:

"Thank you Lan Dao Chang for your support, and please inform Uncle Shi again, the younger generation will definitely go up the mountain to say hello!"

Seeing Zhao Rang's back, a strange smile appeared on his face. Turning back to the study, he took out a carrier pigeon, tied a secret letter to his leg, and let it go.

"Zhao Rang, Zhao Rang, do you think you can get out like this? The show has just begun! ”

Lan Shizi muttered to himself.
