Liang Cheng walked along the mountain road for a short time, only to see the trees in front of him lush, green grass, wild flowers dotted among them, bees and butterflies flying, the scenery is very good, so his mood is also better.

After walking a few more steps, I saw a fence in the shade of green trees, and knew that the medicine garden had arrived. Entered the garden and looked at it, this medicine garden is not big, it is only four acres square, and there are two wooden houses in the middle, one large and one small. There are all kinds of herbs planted around the house, Liang Cheng doesn't recognize any medicine, and is hesitating about how to take care of the garden in the future, when a boy comes out of the small wooden house, the age should be one or two years younger than himself, but he looks very smart.

As soon as the boy saw Liang Cheng, he asked with a smile: "You are the little brother who has just come to manage the garden, my name is Ah Shen, and I am the medicine boy in the garden. ”

Liang Cheng finally met a person who was about his age, and he was very happy. So he smiled and said, "Ah Sen, hello." You can just call me Mingcheng, and you don't have to call the little brother before and after the little brother to make trouble. ”

The boy smiled and said, "I don't dare, the master who has no rules like that will scold me when he comes back, so I'll call you Brother Cheng." Brother Cheng, the master ordered you to live in this big house before leaving, and you can read all kinds of books in the house at will, as long as you don't break them. ”

Seeing that Liang Cheng agreed to enter the house, the boy said again: "Brother Cheng, you can take a look around at random to get acquainted, the second room upstairs is the accommodation prepared for you by the master." I went to water the garden, and everyone was thirsty, and I was called for anything. With that, he went out.

Liang Chengxin said: "This kid is stupid to grow medicines, where is there anyone who calls the medicinal materials in the garden 'everyone'." He shook his head.

Seeing that there was nothing to do, Liang Cheng was not busy going out, just looking east and west in the house. I saw that the house was still very large, divided into two floors. Liang Cheng looked downstairs first, and saw that almost the entire room except for the tables and chairs in the middle was lined with rows of bookshelves, which were full of books. The inner room is locked, and it is estimated that it is Taiqing Laodao's own residence.

So I went upstairs, and saw a big table in the first room upstairs, which was full of jars, pestles, mortars, grinding discs, and a bunch of things, exuding a strong medicinal fragrance, as if it was a place for old-fashioned medicine.

The second room was hidden, Liang Cheng pushed open the door and walked in, and looked at it quite satisfied, although there was not much furniture in the room, but the windows were bright and clean, and a small bed in the room looked clean and clean.

Because he didn't sleep all night last night, Liang Cheng was very sleepy, and he didn't dare to sleep no matter how sleepy he was, but now it's different. Liang Cheng took out the small porcelain bottle containing the "Dream Blue Fly" given by Taiqing Lao Dao, opened the stopper, and poured a small black pill into his hand. After looking at it for a while, Liang Cheng swallowed the medicinal pill in one gulp, lay on the bed and fell asleep.

The black fields, the strong fishy smell in the air, the misty bushes, the wet feet. Liang Cheng was horrified to find that he had come to a nightmare again, and he couldn't help but stiffen all over, and his hairs stood on end. So he crouched down and held his head in an effort to wake up. It was useless to toss for a long time, but I heard a creepy low roar not far away, as if some ghost had discovered the intruder, and a pair of huge green eyes glowed coldly, and looked this way. Liang Cheng's scalp was numb, and he got up and wanted to run.

At this moment, there was a low "buzzing" sound in the sky, as if thousands of insects were flapping their wings. Liang Cheng raised his head and saw that the canopy above his head had been torn open with a black opening, but the edge of the opening emitted a strong white light, which looked very weird. Under the bright light, Liang Cheng could see clearly that it was countless huge black flies biting and tearing at the void sky. Liang Cheng thought to himself, are these "dreams and flies"?

The hole was torn wider and wider, and the light grew stronger, illuminating the black field below. Liang Cheng saw the surrounding scenery clearly for the first time, and saw that there were pools of blood on the ground, and there were severed limbs and stumps everywhere, and human heads rolling down. There was a red mist all around.

There was a group of monsters standing in the red mist not far away, looking like a pile of carrion, blood and skeletons, the leading monster stared at the green eyes, at this moment it seemed to be attracted by the abnormal situation in the sky, no longer paying attention to Liang Cheng, but looking up at the sky, there seemed to be a look of horror in his eyes.

At this time, the "buzzing" sound in the air became louder and louder, and the sky was torn open by more and more blue flies. Countless black fragments fluttered down like confetti, and Liang Cheng opened his mouth wide and watched this scene in amazement. I just felt the space around me "click". Suddenly, everything around him shattered like a mirror, and Liang Cheng fell down with the fragments, falling all the time, as if he was endless, and his body became light and fluttering, and finally fell into a deep sleep.

When Liang Cheng woke up, the sky was already dark. I haven't slept like this for many years, and I feel refreshed, but I can't distinguish between east and west, north and south for a while, and I can't remember where I am.

After getting up and being stunned for a while, Liang Cheng remembered that he was in the medicine garden, and counted with his fingers, if it was the next day, he would have slept for about ten hours, and he was still a little guilty, and he secretly thought that he would not sleep until the morning of the third day, in short, he felt a little incredible.

Liang Cheng went downstairs and came to the garden, only to feel that the air was fresh and pleasant, so he walked around, looked at no one around, thought that it was still early, and it was estimated that Ah Shen had not yet gotten up, so he found an open space and sat down cross-legged, took out the Qi practice method given by the master from his arms and began to practice according to it.

The heart method talks about the art of breathing, and it begins with the words: "Whoever breathes is breathed through the nose and exhaled through the mouth." It is slightly cited, and the name is called long-term. There is one inner qi and six exhaled qi. The internal qi is also inhaled. Exhale the six, which are blowing, exhaling, sighing, heh, shhh, hee, all of which are out of breath. ”

There are also various annotations next to it, summarizing how to exhale and inhale, and how to keep the method of the dantian, Liang Cheng practiced for about half an hour, and when he got up, he felt refreshed and full of physical strength. I think it's really good to practice this mental method, and it's not too difficult to practice, but there are a few places that I don't understand very well.

Seeing that the sky was also bright, Liang Cheng planned to ask his master for advice, and by the way, to see if there was any news from his father, although he had only lived for two days, Liang Cheng had already begun to feel homesick.

So he called Ah Shen and pretended to give an order, after all, Liang Cheng is also used to being a noble son, and he has some majesty. After finishing speaking, he walked away, leaving Ah Shen standing there stunned. Liang Cheng was secretly amused in his heart as he walked.

When I arrived at the temple, I finished greeting the master, and when I saw that a few senior brothers were also here, I greeted them one by one, after all, Liang Cheng was in a good mood today, and he didn't care about the little bit of mustard that he had in his heart.

Qingxu looked at Liang Cheng kindly, and said, "Mingcheng, I see that you look good today, have you started to practice this mental method?"

"Yes, Master, I practiced some of the methods of tuna this morning, and there are a few things that I don't quite understand, and I want to ask Master for advice. ”

Qingxu motioned for Liang Cheng to wait on the side first, and then began to ask Huo Yuan, Yuan Jing, and Jingming about the three messengers and the progress of the exercises.

Liang Cheng felt the jealous gaze of the three senior brothers when they left, and was a little puzzled, after all, the young man couldn't hide things in his heart, so he asked, "Master, why do you want the three senior brothers to avoid me when you are instructing me?"

Qingxu said: "The inheritance of the Xuanmen mental method, the most important is the fate of the law, and it has always been obtained by those who are destined." These four senior brothers of yours, except for leaving the fire, are all mediocre in qualifications, although they have a certain chance to enter my door, but it is difficult to comprehend the superior mental method. ”

"Apprentice," Qingxu continued, "You have outstanding qualifications, Uncle Taiqing noticed it on the day you diagnosed your pulse, you must know that having a spiritual root is a prerequisite for being able to cultivate the truth." And the five elements of the spiritual root you have is the earth spirit root, and this earth system single spirit root attribute is full, this situation is extremely rare, most people with attributes of the double spirit root even if the qualifications are excellent, even if the three spirit roots are considered a little genius, the single spirit root with very low attributes is very rare, in the millions of people with a spirit root can be like this, not to mention your single spirit root, there may not be one among tens of millions of people can do this, we cultivators call it the heavenly spirit root, extremely rare. Of course, there are four mutated spirit roots in the world, namely the thunder spirit root generated by the combination of gold and water spirit roots, the ice spirit root formed by the combination of water and wood, the wind spirit root formed by the combination of wood and fire, and the dark spirit root formed by the combination of earth and gold. Therefore, Master has high hopes for you, hoping that one day you will be able to attain the Great Dao and glorify our sect. ”

When Liang Cheng heard these words, he seemed to be happy and sad in his heart, happy because he didn't expect him to have such qualifications, and worried because in this way, it was even more difficult to leave the Taoist temple and return to his parents.

Qingxu seemed to see Liang Cheng's thoughts, frowned slightly, and said: "Apprentice, I know you miss home, but you must know that the world has only been for decades, although there is glory and wealth, inheriting the parents of the high hall, and caring for the beautiful wife and children, but it will always fall apart, and what returns to the dust is an illusion after all." On one side is the avenue, on the other side is illusory, you have to make up your own mind, and it is difficult to force you to be a teacher. Seeing that Liang Cheng was looking down and thinking, he said clearly: "Okay, there is still a year to consider, and you don't have to worry." During this period, you should practice the method of tuna and lay a good foundation. Only when the edge of the dust is broken can one practice the superior mental method. Otherwise, the Dao heart is not strong, and there will be no positive result. ”
