As soon as the Moon Soul heard the voice, he replied excitedly: "Yes, the Moon Soul is back, Mother, where are you?"

The voice smiled and said, "Don't worry, you do what I instruct." ”

The Moon Soul thought that he could see Nangong Xingyun, and nodded vigorously: "The Moon Soul understands." ”

So the Moon Soul followed Nangong Xingyun's voice instructions to a pavilion on a floating mountain, and the Moon Soul found that there was no one here at all.

The pavilion is divided into three floors, each of which is filled with books.

"Mother, where are you?" asked the Moon Soul.

"Don't rush to see me, you just practice here, I will give you the mental method of cultivation, there are millions of books here, read them in your spare time, and remember what you think is useful. ”

The Moon Soul said with some grievances: "But Mother, the Moon Soul has been here for three years, and I have never seen my mother, and the Moon Soul wants to see you." ”

Nangong Xingyun didn't answer, as if he wasn't here anymore.

"Mother!" Moon Soul shouted again, but still didn't answer.

Unexpectedly, he still didn't get to see his mother, and the moon soul was inevitably disappointed. But there was no way, my mother said that if I wanted to practice here, then I could only practice here. But what can be practiced here?

For Nangong Xingyun's words, the moon soul does not have the slightest disobedience.

Moon Soul took a general look at the books on display layer by layer, and found that most of them were some poetry books and the works of the hundred schools of thought. Why do you let him read these books, but also write down what he thinks is useful. Are these books helpful in practice?

If you don't understand, you don't understand, but you still have to see the book.

I went up from the first floor to the second floor, and then to the third floor, and found that there were not many books on the third floor, but there was a screen in the middle of the room.

There was nothing special about the screen, the white wooden frame, the white gauze. In the center of the screen is written the word Tianyuan.

The moon soul slowly approached the screen, and the wind outside blew into the pavilion, and the white windows fluttered in the wind.

The moon soul stood in front of the screen, and unconsciously stretched out his hand to the word Tianyuan on the screen. Just as his hand touched the screen, a bright light spread out from the screen.

In an instant, the soul of the moon soul seemed to be separated from the body, and he found himself like the wind wandering between heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, the stars were brilliant, the wind and rain were on the earth, and everything was flourishing. Everything is so harmonious, everything is so natural, as if in the dark, all things have a certain law, just like the rotation of the sun and the moon.

The moon soul continued to feel this natural way, the potential law between heaven and earth, as if it was right in front of him, but it was impossible to see, he was unwilling, he wanted to hold on to the ethereal place, but he couldn't grasp it.

The white light disappeared, and the moon soul stood in the attic again, he couldn't believe it, how could that wonderful feeling just now be so comfortable, and why did it suddenly disappear? He put his hand on the screen again, wanting to feel the feeling again, but this time there was no white light, he rubbed his hand on the screen a few times, but there was still no response.

The Moon Soul felt that that feeling might take a special circumstance to appear, and it was just a coincidence.

Bypassing the screen, I found that there was a desk behind the screen, and there was a book on top of the desk, on which was written 'Tianyuan Dao'.

He was shocked in his heart, this 'Tianyuan Dao' should be the cultivation method left to him by Nangong Xingyun, he walked over quickly and picked up the book.

The mountain god's 'peak Dao' is already so powerful, I wonder if the 'Tianyuan Dao' left to him by Nangong Xingyun is even more powerful?

With excitement, Moon Soul turned the first page of the book, only to see that the top of the first page read "Taoism and Nature".

There is a saying in the mortal world, which is called "One day in the mountains, a thousand years in the world." I don't know how mortals got this sentence, but this is not a lie, one day in the mountains, a thousand years in the world, this is the true portrayal of the cultivator. For an ordinary person, twenty years is enough for a person to fully mature and become the most golden stage of life. But for those cultivators who pursue the vast heavenly path, it is different, twenty years is only the beginning of a cultivation career.

Moon Soul sat at the bottom of the hallway, his eyes motionless as he looked at the bamboo forest in front of him. At the age of thirty, the outfit he wore when he was thirteen years old did not change much, only his appearance and interior. Twenty years have made him more mature.

A cultivator's age is not proportional to his appearance, and it is not at all strange for a hundred-year-old cultivator to look like he is eighteen years old. Moon Soul, his appearance has always remained at the age of eighteen.

He had been looking at bamboo here for three days, which was explained by Nangong Xingyun, which made him realize something from it. The wind and rain outside were tight, and the bamboo forest swayed from side to side with the fierce wind, but no matter how fierce the wind was, the bamboo could not be blown away, and the bamboo could always stand up again in a bend and a bend.

After a while, Nangong Xingyun's voice came over and said, "What did you realize?"

The Moon Soul knew that this was just Nangong Xingyun's voice, and her person did not appear, so she still looked at the bamboo forest and said, "Mother asked me to see the bamboo here, did she want me to know the truth of being able to bend and stretch, and to be rigid and soft?"

Nangong Xingyun said: "So, are these things you realized yourself, or did you get them from the book?"

Moon Soul replied truthfully, "I had already seen this allusion before my mother asked me to come to see the bamboo. ”

Nangong Xingyun asked again: "Now, look, is the wind moving, or is the bamboo moving?"

Moon Soul shook his head and replied, "No, it's the heart that's moving." ”

Nangong Xingyun asked again: "Then you answer me again, is this your own understanding, or did you get it from the book?"

Moon Soul replied truthfully again: "It was obtained from the book." ”

Nangong Xingyun paused for a moment and said, "There are only a few sages and sages in the world, but their truth is everywhere in the world. People in the world learn the truth, but because they are not understood by themselves, they cannot truly understand the true meaning, so they cannot become a second saint, they can only become a follower of the saint, you, understand!"

After listening to Nangong Xingyun's words, the Moon Soul nodded and said, "I understand what my mother meant, in fact, the Moon Soul has not gained nothing in the past three days. ”

After saying that, the moon soul turned around and walked out of the corridor, and the wind and rain outside were actually a foot away from his body, and he could no longer get close to him, as if his body was covered in an invisible cover, and the rain slid down the invisible cover to the ground.

He walked into the bamboo forest, looked at a bamboo and said, "I think that the reason why the wind keeps blowing the bamboo is just the wrong way, if you can form a wind blade..." "It's like this. He looked at the fallen bamboo.

Nangong Xingyun's voice said, "It seems that you have a deeper understanding of the 'Peak Dao'. ”

Moon Soul shook his head with a smile and said, "No, I'm just thinking about this matter in terms of the method of subduing the enemy, but the truth is that this is not possible. Wind is wind, bamboo is bamboo, and bamboo has created a resilient body in order to adapt to the wind. For them, what I just did was just a variable, not a natural one. Naturally, isn't it the core of the 'Tianyuan Dao'? ”

Nangong Xingyun seemed to appreciate what the Moon Soul said, but asked again: "So, in your opinion, what is the difference between the 'Tianyuan Dao' and the 'Peak Dao'?"

Moon Soul thought for a while and said, "The 'Peak Dao' is about being strong when it is strong, and it is necessary to maintain a state of instant explosion at all times. 'Tianyuan Dao' is to go with the flow and conform to nature, just like my mother said, the Tao is natural. ”

Nangong Xingyun said with a smile: "Is this what you realize?"

The Moon Soul nodded and said, "Yes, although the Moon Soul can't really understand the artistic conception of the two great masters of the 'Peak Dao' and the 'Tianyuan Dao', the starting point is still known." ”

Nangong Xingyun seemed to be in good spirits for a few days, and he was very interested in the many explanations of the Moon Soul, and asked again: "So, do you think that all along, you have been cultivating or enlightening?"

Now you can ask the Moon Soul, is there a difference between the two? The Moon Soul asked puzzledly: "Is there any difference between this path of cultivation and the path of enlightenment?"

Nangong Xingyun explained: "There are many cultivators in the world who believe that cultivation is enlightenment, so at the beginning, they are all dedicated to practicing with the law, so that over time, their skills can reach a very high level, but they have reached a bottleneck, and it is very difficult to further improve." If you realize again at this time, your state of mind will be in a hurry to break through and you will never have the intention to re-realize, and you will always be able to stay at that bottleneck. If you have a great understanding from the beginning, then your cultivation will be able to rise in a thousand days, even in the day. But that's not possible. Cultivating quickly is not conducive to enlightenment, and realizing quickly is conducive to cultivation. In a way, enlightenment is more important than cultivation. However, enlightenment is to pay attention to chance, sometimes you want to realize but can't, and when you don't understand, you can realize it, so the few people in the world who understand the truth are all enlightened and cultivated at the same time.

Moon Soul felt that what Nangong Xingyun said was very reasonable, and nodded: "Moon Soul remembers my mother's teachings. ”

Nangong Xingyun asked, "How long have you been here?"

The Moon Soul thought for a moment and said, "Back to Mother, it has been sixty years since the Moon Soul came to the Cloud and Water Realm. ”

"It's been sixty years, and it's been a little bit in the blink of an eye. In the past 60 years, I have taught you everything he and he can teach you, and as for what you can achieve, it depends on your creation. ”

When Nangong Xingyun said in his mouth, he naturally referred to the mountain god. In front of the Moon Soul, Nangong Xingyun never called the name of the mountain god, but always called him with the word "he".

For a long time, the moon soul has either been with the mountain god, or practiced under the guidance of Nangong Xingyun, and he has never seen Nangong Xingyun himself, let alone the two together. He felt that there was something involved between the two of them, but the Moon Soul knew that these were not what he should know, so he never asked the mountain god or Nangong Xingyun.

Time flies in a hurry, it has been sixty years in the blink of an eye, and the Moon Soul is also full of emotion, there is still a long way to go to become an immortal, and now it can only be regarded as the beginning.
