Three days of meditation in the Tianqing Palace, although it was extremely boring and boring, Su Yi felt extremely comfortable. Five years of exhaustion made him desperate for this kind of "idle" life.

At sunrise, a bell rang out.

"Very good, you have passed the entrance assessment," Guiyangzi still maintained a meditative posture, just opened his eyes, and said, "Do you know what you want to learn next?"

Su Yi shook his head and said, "Mother said that the master will learn whatever the disciple teaches." ”

Guiyangzi nodded slowly and said: "As a teacher, I was fortunate to follow your ancestor to practice the seventy-two techniques of earth, but my qualifications are dull, and I have only learned two or three of them, and now I will teach you the 'False Shape Technique' among them."

The foundation of the Daomen Immortal Law lies in comprehending the method of borrowing power from heaven and earth, and the key to it lies in 'borrowing'. ”

Su Yi stared at Guiyangzi, as if he understood or not.

Gui Yangzi continued: "If you want to practice the art of false form, you must first know the method of borrowing strength. Heaven and earth are generous, and when people are born and educated, they will respond to their needs and borrow when they ask. The power of heaven and earth is everywhere and inexhaustible. It's just that the borrowed power is not in one's own pocket after all, and it must always be returned to heaven and earth, and as for the geometry that can be borrowed, it varies according to the depth of the 'Tao' that is cultivated, which is the accumulation of meditation and practice on weekdays. You have to remember to do what you can at all times, if you borrow your strength indiscriminately, abuse the immortal method, and eventually run out of energy and fail and cannot return the borrowed power, you will die violently. ”

Su Yi seems to know a little more, but his brain is messed up, and there are some thoughts in his mind. It's a very uncomfortable feeling, like a prey that has just been caught and escaped in the blink of an eye, and I don't even know how it disappeared. When I heard the word "violent death", I was even more frightened. Su Yi only felt hot and uneasy, his brows were frowning on his little face, and bursts of sweat broke out on his forehead.

"You don't have to be in a hurry, you can read the Taoist classics on the side first, and slowly understand. ”

When Guiyangzi's words entered his ears, Su Yi felt as if there was a cool breeze blowing, and he suddenly felt much more comfortable.

The hall was empty and silent, only the occasional crisp sound of turning books, so after four or five hours, Su Yi finally put down the books in his hand and stretched his waist, his stomach was already hungry, but he saw that Guiyangzi was still unmoving. Su Yi, who was used to suffering in the past, was not squeamish, and endured his hunger and continued to open the book.

Reading and enlightening all day long, meditating and practicing, occasionally gaining, or having doubts, I asked Guiyangzi for advice. In this way, day after day, Su Yi inevitably began to feel tired, but as soon as he remembered the days when he was tired and had no fixed place to live in the past years, he forcibly put away the boredom that had just emerged.

After persisting for more than a month, Su Yi could already vaguely feel the existence of some "power of heaven and earth". I also heard Guiyangzi teach: "Mortals cultivate the Tao and store it on the spiritual platform." At the beginning, the Lingtai was only as big as a teacup, and then it became enlightened, and it could be compared to the Ding furnace, and those who obtained the Great Dao could be as wide as the rivers and lakes. At this time, you are inferior to water droplets, and when your 'spiritual platform' can be as big as a teacup, it is time for you to learn the art of false shapes. ”

Su Yi listened carefully, and when Guiyangzi said, "It's the time for you to learn the false form", he was excited for a while, so he forgot everything he had heard before, and just wanted to end the days of boring reading as soon as possible and start learning the immortal art that sounded not so boring. Su Yi scratched his ears and cheeks, and he couldn't fully understand Guiyangzi's words, so he had to hurriedly flip through the "Huang Ting Jing".

More than ten days passed in a daze, and Su Yi didn't know what progress he had made. When you think of cultivation, you can't force yourself and just go with the flow. However, just when he was confused, he heard Gui Yangzi say that his so-called "Lingtai" had begun to take shape. Su Yi was confused, and before he could think about it, Guiyangzi began to talk about the false form technique.

"The so-called false form is to borrow the form of other things to incarnate into a different kind. If you go to the realm of Dacheng, you can do whatever you want, from animals to flies. ”

Su Yi immediately sat upright, put his previous doubts behind, and listened with his ears pricked up.

Ten days have passed, Su Yi has gained a little, and he can already fake his body.

Su Yi turned into a vicious dog with smooth skin and flesh, with distorted facial features and an abominable face. He may have wanted to turn into a vicious dog, but he was not skilled in it, but he was fierce, but he was not like a dog. After only two or three breaths, Su Yi returned to the prototype and lay on the ground, although he was not panting and his heart was beating, he was weak. Guiyangzi only ordered the essence of the four characters, saying that "the Tao is insufficient", so he worked hard to practice.

After more than three months, Su Yikan can turn into a giant bear, decent, and can support for a short time. Guiyangzi saw that he was quite appreciative, praised a few words, and allowed him to go out of the palace to play for a long time. Su Yi ran out happily when he heard this. said that it was playing, but he was just allowed to bask in the sun around the Tianqing Hall and play with insects, but Su Yi also had a lot of fun.

In August and September, Su Yi had been in Tianqing Hall for nearly a year. Although Su Yi's cultivation is not hard, it can be regarded as serious, and he is quite proficient in the art of false shapes. On this day, in front of Guiyangzi, Su Yi transformed into a snow-white kitten. The kitten jumped up and down, and after a while, he jumped on Guiyangzi's legs sitting cross-legged, rubbing his head against Guiyangzi and putting it on his lap with his old wrinkled palm. Guiyangzi rarely raised his hand to rub the kitten, and his eyes were full of kindness.

After playing for a while, Su Yi changed back to his original state, waiting for praise with a smug face. Guiyangzi also did as he wished, announcing that he had achieved some success in his studies and that he could practice on his own in the future, and that he did not have to stay in the Tianqing Hall for retreat. Su Yi laughed happily, his mouth grinned wider, and he kowtowed heavily on the ground again, shouting "Master Xie".

Guiyangzi agreed, and there was only a smile on his face that was less shocked than before, and he quietly watched Su Yi dance happily in the hall.

Just when Su Yi was proud, Guiyangzi poured a basin of cold water over him, and said in a serious voice: "Although you have an innate advantage in cultivation because of your physique, you can't lose your diligence because of this. In the future, if you practice alone, you have to review your old days from time to time and work harder, so as to live up to your mother's painstaking efforts. ”

"It turns out that I built that spiritual platform for some reason, because of my physique. Su Yi thought to himself. At this time, he was no longer the hairy kid who didn't know anything at that time, and he already had his own ideas about cultivation. However, the young man's nature is like this, he has been holding back in the Tianqing Hall for a year, and at this time, his heart is full of liberation from the palace, so he promised with his mouth full of promises, and he didn't take it too seriously.

Su Yi came out of the main hall and happened to see Yuqi who was summoned by Guiyangzi.

"Oh! it's you!" Su Yi hadn't seen outsiders for a long time, and this time as soon as he left the hall, he was very surprised to see someone of his age, so he greeted him warmly.

"It turned out to be you, the little benefactor," Yuqi was infected by Su Yi's enthusiasm, and her voice was slightly excited, "Master Ancestor took me to pick you up and go to Baimu Forest." ”

"What kind of place is the Hundred Wood Forest?" Su Yi said curiously.

"The Hundred Trees Forest is a very large forest in the back mountain. I don't know," explained Maggie, "I'm going to take you to the mountain man, the forester of the Hundred Wood Forest, who watches over the forest and doesn't let the naughty kids in. It's a long way from here, and we still have to walk a long way. ”

"What's so strange in this woods? Su Yi said curiously.

"It's nothing strange, senior brother, they often sneak in, and nothing happens. Maybe he was afraid that the forest would be big, so he got lost in it. Yuqi said.

"It's nothing to be afraid of just getting lost. Su Yi remembered the days when he ran around with his mother, and getting lost was already commonplace.

"But the master said that if you can't enter, you can't enter, junior brother, don't learn from senior brother and them. Yuqi said solemnly.

"Don't worry, I'm not going in. Su Yi said casually. Although there were many doubts in his mind, he was not very interested in the forest, so he didn't think about it anymore.

The two of them went down the road and came to the square again, looking down condescendingly on the bluestone steps, it was still so lively. Seeing such a scene again after a year, Su Yi's heartbeat couldn't help but become faster.

Su Yi's appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention, and those who practiced boxing and sword dancing slowed down their movements one after another, and looked at Su Yi, as if they were very interested in him as an outsider. The older ones were just looking sideways, but a group of children of the same age as Su Yi gathered around. There were a lot of girls in the crowd, and they couldn't see it clearly until they got closer, which made Su Yi feel surprised.

The older boy among them, who looked like the leader among them, stepped forward and said, "This junior brother, my name is Yu Heng, and I am the senior brother of the jade character generation of Taiyan Mountain, welcome to you." ”

Yuheng is young and old, and his smile is warm, which makes Su Yizhi feel like a stable adult.

Before Su Yi could answer, a girl with braids next to Yu Heng rushed to say, "This junior brother, my name is Yu Li, and I am the senior sister of the jade character generation of Taiyan Mountain, welcome to you." ”

The girl named Yuli said as she jumped to Su Yi's side with a smile and touched Su Yi's head, as if she was a real big sister.

Su Yi smiled and greeted everyone, and heard Yuqi whisper in his ear: "It's that these two people often take their junior brothers and sisters to secretly go to Baimu Forest to play, don't look at the senior brother's serious appearance, in fact, he is very playful; Anyway, don't let them spoil you. ”

After listening to Yuqi's words, Su Yi secretly felt funny, and his heart was a little less restrained. Such an atmosphere made Su Yi relax a little.

Listening to the people around him shouting about his junior brother, Su Yi remembered what Guiyangzi had said, hesitated for a long time, and finally reluctantly said: "Thank you for your enthusiasm, in fact, I am not a new disciple of Taiyan Mountain, I just... I'm just here for a while, so... I'm not your brother. Su Yi thought in his heart that there was nothing wrong with saying this, and he hoped that his mother would come to pick him up in a short time.

Yu Heng maintained such a gentle smile and said, "It's okay, since we live in the same mountain, then we will take care of you as a junior brother, even if you don't cultivate in this mountain, it's okay." All the children nodded in agreement, and even Yuqi nodded vigorously even if she didn't seem to like this senior brother.

Su Yi was quite moved in his heart, but he was not likely to deal with such a scene, so he had to scratch his head and smile.

"Alright, it's time for us to get back to our morning classes. As he spoke, Yu Heng beckoned the children to disperse.

Before leaving, the girl didn't forget to say to Su Yi: "Remember to come and play with Senior Sister when you have time." Then he grimaced at Su Yi and staggered away with the children.
