The night is like a veil, and the sky is full of stars...

On the mountain behind the Taixu view, Zhang Xiuyuan sat in front of a newly erected grave wearing filial piety.

Because of the suddenness of the incident, he directly collected the body of his master Zhang Yangming and put it into the grave, and did not set up a mourning hall, so he kept a vigil in front of the grave.

Today is the third day of the vigil...

My aunt and sister have been persuaded by him to go back to the temple to rest, he is a son of a man, and he is the only male in the view, responsible for keeping watch here for the last night...

Zhang Xiuyuan crumpled the fire paper in his hand and burned it in the basin, then looked up at the starry sky with his head up, and his thoughts drifted to somewhere.

In the past eighteen years, he has become accustomed to a life that is too vain, accustomed to a crazy master, and a greedy and clingy junior sister...

But suddenly, the crazy master is gone, and tomorrow the senior aunt will take herself and her sister away from this Taifu who has lived for 18 years...

A kind of confusion about the future inexplicably grew in his heart.

Before I knew it, I was in a daze until midnight...

Zhang Xiuyuan sighed and came back to his senses, looked at the tombstone engraved with 'The Tomb of Master Zhang Yangming', and muttered: "Master, tomorrow my aunt will take me and my sister away, I don't know when I will see you again, but your kind disciple hasn't had time to repay it..."

His voice paused, as if he had thought of something, and sighed lightly: "The disciple doesn't know where the road is, and I hope that your old man's spirit in the sky can show the disciple a clear way." ”

As his words fell, the little turtle in the prayer pool also swam to the copper coin printed with 'Da Yuan Tongbao', and opened his mouth to suck the red dust and smoke on the copper coin into his mouth...

In the mind...

The disappearing picture scroll of mountains and seas appeared again, and a wisp of turbid air floating from nowhere disappeared into it in an instant, and various memory fragments appeared on the picture scroll...

Zhang Xiuyuan looked at the fragments of his master's memories on the picture scroll of mountains and seas, and his mind was unconsciously a little trance-like.

Once again, as an outsider, I looked at the life of the person in the painting, and experienced the joys, sorrows, and obsessions in it...

Zhang Yangming's life experience is similar to Zhang Xiuyuan to some extent, but he is an orphan who was picked up and adopted by the previous generation of Taixu Guan Guan in the year of drought.

Because he was smart since he was a child, he was taken by the previous generation of Taixuan Guan Guan Master as a Taoist child, and he was very loved.

Later, as the previous generation of Taixu Guan Guan and Baiyun Guan Guan got acquainted, they met Ning Zizhen, who was also a Taoist child, and the two hit it off at first sight.

The young Zhang Yangming is a martial arts genius, and his heart is quite high, and he has always acted as a senior brother under the umbrella in front of his junior sister.

This is also similar to the relationship between Zhang Xiuyuan and Zhang Miaoshan.

He has been with his junior sister for many years, and he has mutual affection, and he has reached the point of talking about marriage and marrying a Taoist couple, but he was suddenly told that his junior sister has a fairy fate, and he did not.

The master of Baiyun Temple had a private chat with him, explained to him the difference between immortals and mortals, and only asked, 'A hundred years later, how should Zizhen deal with himself?' This sentence silenced him speechless.

At that time, Zhang Yangming's heart was quite high, how could he give up so easily?

And the master of Baiyun Temple also knew this, so he deliberately stimulated him with words and made him make an oath that unless he found the immortal fate, he would never see Ning Zizhen.

He also agreed, and made an oath...

People, they will always be trapped by things that they are young and cannot do for life.

Zhang Yangming is the same, and the matter of finding immortals has gradually become a knot in his heart, which can also be said to be an obsession.

After the martial arts cultivation broke through the innate end of the Dao, he realized that the martial arts had come to an end, so he began to collect all kinds of ancient books, events, and even rumors about the immortal fate...

As time passed, there was no way out.

That obsession gradually turned into a demonic thought.

He found the "Law of Seizing the Foundation", he picked up Zhang Xiuyuan, who had an immortal fate, but these were just introductions, he had practiced for many years, and he could control the greed in his heart.

Until......

He went out and ran into a hunter...

There are pregnant women waiting to give birth in the Orion family, and after giving birth to a daughter, they actually attract a hundred birds to cry, and there are even white deer Lingzhi, fierce beasts offering Ruicao...

He had only seen such visions in ancient books about immortal fate, and people with such visions were also called 'immortal fetus'.

In ancient books, it is said that the 'immortal fetus' is the reincarnation of immortals, and the spirit is natural, and after practice, it is not only unlimited, but also favored by heaven and earth, and the practice is a thousand miles a day.

The people in the mountains and towns are not tight-mouthed, and the hunters hype up the vision of their mother-in-law when they give birth, but it is okay in the countryside, everyone is only a talking point after tea and dinner, but after the matter is spread, it is soon noticed by people with a heart.

The Orion family soon encountered a demon...

There are even demons who fight to snatch the 'fairy fetus' that is still in infancy.

It was only at that time that Zhang Yangming realized what kind of world he was in, and his obsession with immortals became more and more deep.

The demon went out to fight in order to snatch the 'immortal fetus', and no one cared about him as a small mortal.

He took advantage of the chaos to escape back to Taixuguan with the still swaddling 'immortal fetus', which was also the beginning of his stepping into the abyss.

The demonic thoughts that grew in his heart became more and more difficult to control, and for more than ten years, he could only barely maintain a balance that was not controlled by demonic thoughts...

But how can people's hearts remain the same?

So the balance he maintained didn't last long, and as time went on, his mind was slowly affected and controlled...

Until, he met Ning Zizhen...

The arrival of the white moonlight was like a ray of light shining into his already dark heart, and the sentence 'Do you not want to see me, or do you not want to see yourself' is like a slap in the face, making him wake up like a dream.

At the same time, he also knew that the demonic thoughts in his heart were beyond his control, so he had the will to die.

In order not to worry my junior sister, I deliberately said that I still had a few years to live, and took it away...

Then choose to face yourself in the ashram, and face the demonic thoughts that have plagued you for years...

And the only thought he had before he went to the quiet room to face the demon thoughts was to be ashamed of his ancestors and cut off the inheritance of the too void......

……………………

The memory fragments manifested on the mountain and sea painting scrolls gradually dimmed, and some small characters of ancient seals surfaced: get a wisp of 'red dust and fireworks', dip the three products of cause and effect in human characters, and give a copy of "Needle Interpretation Dao Law".

In a trance, Zhang Xiuyuan had an extra ancient book in his hand.

The book cover is painted with a diagram of the acupoints of the human body, which makes people feel dazzled when they look at it like a starry sky.

He opened the book with great anticipation, and before he could read it carefully, he saw that the small characters and various patterns in the book seemed to come out of a broken book, and turned into a touch of spiritual light into the center of his eyebrows.

And he only felt dizzy, as if there was a huge amount of knowledge imprinted in his mind...

In an instant, the ancient book of "Needle Interpretation Dao Method" became a blank piece of paper, and even the human body acupoint diagram on the cover of the book was gone.

Then, the ancient books that turned into blank sheets of paper turned into a handful of flying ashes and dissipated between his fingers.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiuyuan closed his eyes as if he had realized something, and received the huge and complex knowledge that suddenly appeared in his mind.

Strictly speaking, the "Acupuncture and Interpretation of the Dao Method" is a Taoist medical book, which records the acupoints of the human body for various incurable diseases and various meridians, as well as the general outline of the method of using qi to control the needle.

All kinds of incurable diseases and human acupuncture points are not listed for the time being, and there are more than a dozen kinds of acupuncture methods recorded in the general outline of the method of qi imperial acupuncture!

Like the golden needle acupoint, the spirit turtle Feiteng, the meridian flow injection, the size of the Zhoutian, the thirteen needles of the ghost gate and other acupuncture and can correspond to the treatment of diseases, he was dazzled by it, and unconsciously lost his mind.

Master Zhang Yangming was able to make a great reputation in Jiangnan Mansion in his early years, in addition to relying on his excellent martial arts cultivation, he was the superb medical skills of the Golden Needle Acupoint!

And the 'Golden Needle Acupoint' is only one of the many needles recorded in the "Needle Performing Dao Method"!

This......

Zhang Xiuyuan couldn't help but be in a trance after receiving the "Needle Performing Dao Method", and secretly sighed that this method was so profound that it was close to the Tao.

When he thought that he had no cultivation as his side, his face stiffened again, after all, he didn't even have 'qi', so how could he use qi to control the needle?

It feels like knowing that there is a mountain of gold sitting under the buttocks, but there are no tools to plan, which is absurd......
