"Bell, bell!", the sound of the loud morning bell striking came from the top of the peaks at the same time. Echoing in the deep mountains that stretch for hundreds of miles, countless birds and beasts in the forest are awakened, and birds and beasts are heard one after another in response to the dense forest.

This is the 'Morning Bell' in the Aoki Sect, which is intended to awaken the aura of heaven and earth, and also to urge the low-level monks in the sect to get up in the morning to practice.

In harmony with this 'morning bell', there are nine consecutive rings at night, which assists low-ranking monks to settle their minds.

Both of these bells are automatically sounded by the same bell hanging from the summit.

Just like a majestic mountain rise, the heaven and earth are smart and follow the order.

When the bells rang to cover the mountains, a murmuring warm golden light jumped from the east. In an instant, the treetops were spread, and the mist was driven away by the sunlight and reduced to misty water vapor. Falls and sticks to the strange rocks of the woods.

After a while, the breath of Qingling directly evaporated from the peaks, refreshing and cool!

Han Dong woke up from the bed, sat up with the bed board, and looked at the similar style around him, a little stunned.

The interior of the room is similar to the backyard where he lived in the Korean house, but it is more streamlined.

There is only a simple couch and a futon in the room, and there is no table or stool.

A small checkered cabinet hangs on the wooden wall, and the lower left corner of the wooden cabinet is carved with a small wrigley-shaped groove wide at the top and narrow at the bottom.

Looking down the wooden cabinet, below the small checkered cabinet is a washbasin erected by a wooden base, and a plain white towel is placed in the basin.

The wall panel far away from the cabinet is inlaid with a round milky white pearl, which is shining with a soft light.

This was Han Dong's second day of entering the Aoki sect.

Yesterday afternoon, after he followed He Luxu back to the Aoki Sect, he underwent the entrance spiritual vein test in a side hall at the mountain gate, and got the evaluation of 'the spiritual root is excellent, the yang vein is usual, the knowledge is wide, and it is classified as Danfeng'.

After the senior brother of the mountain gate inspection explained a few taboos of "not to be evil with the same door", "not to trespass without permission", and "not to cause trouble for no reason", he was arranged to be brought to the courtyard of this row of houses on the mountainside.

He Luxu successfully completed the task of receiving this time, and after Han Dong's test was completed, he waved his hand with Han Dong, and flew away from the depths of the mountains.

The instructions have already been made clear on the way, so naturally there is no need to repeat them.

Han Dong only clenched his little hands, watching He Yu Yu Light fly away, his expression calm.

Later, a senior brother who had been waiting at the mountain gate took him to this peak and gave an explanation.

This peak is called 'Dan Peak', and it is the place where the Aoki sect is practiced in the line of medicine.

Danfeng is responsible for the refining of pills in the door, and belongs to the 'Shu Xiu' in the door, in addition to Danfeng, there are also two major art cultivation factions of 'Qi Feng' and 'Array Peak'.

Regarding the difference between the 'magic' monks, this Danfeng's senior brother didn't say much, but just stopped at the point.

Han Dong also only knew that the monks in the Aoki Sect were roughly divided into two major factions: 'Law Cultivation' and 'Technique Cultivation'.

Danfeng is divided into five layers.

The area within a radius of 300 miles at the foot of the mountain is the Elixir Garden, which is a place allocated by this peak to middle and low-level disciples to cultivate elixir. As for the sect's medicine garden, it is in a secret place among the mountains of Aoki.

In the dense forest from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, there is a flat and open place of trial every ten miles. In it, the magic circle is used to draw the veins next to the earth and fire to this place, and the disciples of Danfeng are used to refine the medicine.

Of course, it is generally provided to low-level disciples of this peak, and they have the right to use it three times a month for free. The other peaks also have their own corresponding trial arrays of this kind.

Occasionally, the same sects of the other peaks who also practice Danshu come here to borrow the magic circle, and the same sect of other peaks needs to use these magic circles, which is different from the disciples of this peak, and there will be some more restrictions.

From the mountainside is the residence of Danfeng, and he is now on the lowest terrain of Danfeng Mountainside.

Originally, it was a gentle slope, but after it was tamped and leveled, two rows of semi-circular houses were built opposite each other and surrounded inward.

Two rows of houses, one for dwelling, and one for dwellings, ashrams, and lecture halls. A courtyard is vacated in the center, which serves as a place for the activities of new peak cultivators.

Before the formal cultivation of the general knowledge, all monks could only live here. It is required to work diligently every day, and unless you successfully enter the general knowledge realm, you are not allowed to leave this place for ten miles.

Cultivators who cannot understand within three years will be sent down to earth, and the immortal relationship will be severed.

Generally speaking, new monks practice here for a few months to a year or so. Most of them will be able to advance to general knowledge and successfully cross this threshold of cultivation. There are very few unlucky people who have been sent home after three years of studying.

After all, the immortal materials that can be entered into this Aoki Sect and can pass the mountain gate test are all selected by thousands of selections.

However, in the nearly 1,000-year history of the Aoki Sect, there have also been some delicious lazy or clandestine waste materials.

Once you enter the mountain gate, you sit proudly in the fairy valley.

Young children are ignorant, and it is natural for them to be indulgent and hardworking. Naturally, there will be a very small number of people who don't know how to cherish blessings and don't want to work diligently, thinking that they can sit back and relax when they enter the mountain gate.

These people are full of fantasies that their immortal fate has arrived, and they have their own talents. It only takes a little effort as you approach the end of the year, and you can easily cross the threshold of cultivating mortals.

Three years seems like a long time, but in fact, I don't realize that it is imminent until the end! It's just that inertia has been addicted for a long time, and it is difficult to control diligence.

In the end, there were not a few people who complained about the heavens and were sent back to the mundane. Also because of such people.

The Aoki sect canceled many of the preferential treatment for new cultivators. Not only is it required to reach the psychic period before you can enjoy a separate spiritual residence and resources, but also set up strict practice assessment procedures and regulations.

As a result, the group courtyard of this kind of cultivators on the mountainside of Zhufeng came into being, as the first threshold for screening. The new cultivators were treated equally, and at the same time, they were stripped of a lot of convenient treatment.

The middle section of the mountainside above this Danfeng is a six-story cave house divided according to the realm.

The lower three floors are inhabited by the disciples of the foundation building level, and they are all single-family courtyards of a unified style. I heard that there are all kinds of mysteries and convenient spiritual forbidden inside, and living in it can greatly facilitate cultivation.

The upper third floor is where the cave of the disciples of the Spirit Pill level is located. Different from the lower three floors, these caves have their own caves and are built in the mountains. The cave mansion is also equipped with various cave rooms required for cultivation, and there is no need to rely on low-level public resources such as the refining array medicine field under the mountain.

As for the monks above the Yuan Infant rank, they were probably too far away from Han Dong. Therefore, the senior brother didn't mention it, but vaguely pointed out that the high-level monk did not live in Danfeng.

As for the mountainside, there are one hundred and eight cave chambers built specifically for refining pills, which are covered with various formations to enhance the alchemy function. Using these specialized cave alchemy, whether it is the probability or color of the pill, it is a few points higher, but the use is also limited.

As for what the restriction was, the senior brother didn't say anything, so Han Dong had to follow obediently and didn't ask much.

Then the senior brother who received and guided Han Dong gave Han Dong two sets of well-fitting plain white robes and a palm-sized arrow, and told him how to use the arrow.

After taking him to his daily living room and informing him of the direction of his washing and dining room, he left the sentence 'Tomorrow someone will teach you how to practice' and turned away.

In general, Han Dong had a further understanding of the Aoki Sect of the sect, but most of it could not be touched for the time being.

There are still many uncertainties, and for the time being, they can only be limited to this small courtyard within a radius of ten miles.

......

Han Dong on the bed swayed and had a slightly confused head.

It may be that he followed He Lu and flew back to the sect for several days, and played too much on the way. He slept so soundly last night that he was a little dazed in the morning.

Han Dong got up and walked to the edge of the checkered hanging cabinet and tiptoed down the pearl the size of a baby's fist. As soon as the bead leaves the hole in the wall, all the light is retracted and becomes restrained and transparent.

He pulled out a small palm-sized arrow from his bosom, which happened to be embedded in the groove of the wooden cabinet.

There was a glimmer of light on the wooden cabinet, and the two mullions opened outwards on their own.

Han Dong placed the pearl on a set of plain white Taoist shirts neatly stacked in a wooden cabinet, and glanced at the delicate small cloth package that was quietly placed next to the Taoist robe.

After a moment, his expression froze, and he collected a trace of sentimental longing in his eyes. He pulled the mullion and reached out to remove the small arrow and stuffed it back into his arms.

After a simple rinse with the spring water in the hospital.

Han Dong came to the courtyard, stretched his body, and felt the abundant aura nurtured in the endless mountains and the little flame overflowing from the peaks, and the night's sleepiness and laziness completely dissipated.

Just as Han Dong was about to go back to the house to meditate and meditate after stretching and relaxing, suddenly a clear voice came from not far away: "Presumably you are Han Dong, who was a new beginner yesterday?"

Han Dong turned his head with a puzzled look on his face.

He only arrived at Danfeng yesterday, and this voice is not like the cold senior brother yesterday, let alone a relatively familiar He Luxu.

Who called him?

Han Dong followed the prestige, and saw a fork in the path outside the courtyard.

A slender young monk in a beige robe was standing with his hands down, looking at him with interest.

Han Dong reacted quite quickly, turned around and saluted respectfully, with a neutral expression: "I've seen senior brother." ”

"Sure enough, it's a smart and intelligent little guy, my name is Jiang Feng, just call me Senior Brother Jiang. The yellow-robed young monk said with a slight smile on his lips.

"Yes, Senior Brother Jiang. I don't know what Senior Brother Jiang is looking for me?" Han Dong naturally changed his name.

Jiang Feng didn't rush to answer, but turned his head and signaled, "I'll talk to you in your room." ”

Han Dong still respectfully responded, turned around and led Jiang Feng towards his door.

After introducing the person into the room, Han Dong covered the door, and then stood aside and waited for Jiang Feng's orders.

Jiang Feng didn't hesitate, and after motioning for Han Dong to sit down on the futon in the room, he also sat down with a futon in his hand. Then he said, "I am in charge of the training of children for the past 100 years. Yesterday you were late at the peak, so today I passed on your cultivation exercises, so don't complain. ”

Han Dong sat still, and returned with a glance: "Don't dare, I don't have such thoughts." ”

"Hmm. Okay, let me ask you first, do you know the cultivation?" Jiang Feng also put away his relaxed posture after sitting down, and there was already a natural amount of solemnity in his words.

Han Dong pondered for a while, recalling the principles of cultivation that He Luxu had told him on the road. I combed it through my heart and confirmed that it was correct before I answered: "Cultivation is like a person only eating and drinking, it is the principle of nourishment." The dew of the human diet can quench hunger and thirst, and the monk's practice can be accumulated, which is the practice. It's just that mortals can't enter, and they can't cultivate without merit. I implore Senior Brother Jiang to teach me the immortal method and lead me to the beginning. ”

After Jiang Feng waited for Han Dong to finish speaking, he nodded secretly: "This understanding is also straightforward, you should not have been exposed to cultivation, how can you get such a taste?"

Han Dong naturally didn't pretend to hide it, and responded directly: "Senior Brother Huijiang, this is on the way into the mountain, Senior Brother He Luxu explained it to me. ”

"What a big monkey? That's like what he said. He doesn't like to study and repair, and if he wants to teach cultivation, he can only start with such mundane things as eating, drinking, and Lazar. Jiang Feng's eyes were faint, and he didn't shy away from his words, and directly called He Luxu 'big monkey'.

Han Dong wanted to laugh at the moment, but it was not good to be rude to Jiang Feng in front of him, so he had to hold back a smile and pretend not to hear.

Jiang Feng motioned for Han Dong to listen quietly, and then his expression changed and he began to talk eloquently: "When it comes to cultivation, you need to start from the origin of heaven and earth. When the heavens and the earth first opened, the two images of yin and yang appeared, yin and yang, formless, silent, tasteless, textureless, and senseless, but they were everywhere. Yin and Yang are a relative image. So, you probably understand?"

Han Dong looked up at Jiang Feng, with doubts in his heart, and said directly: "I don't understand." ”

Jiang Feng didn't seem surprised, and then explained: "When I say yin and yang, I mean that yin and yang are inexplicable. It is also said that yin and yang can be seen everywhere, which refers to the mutual opposition of their appearances in the evolution and embodiment of all things in heaven and earth. For example, if the sun is yang, it is yin to the moon. If the sky is yang, then the earth is yin. White is yang, and black is yin. We can perceive these things, but we can't say that the sun is yang and the moon is yin. The sky is yang, and the moon is yin. White is yang, and black is yin. None of the things I have just listed are yin and yang, but the relative form of their existence is yin and yang. Probably understood?"

Although what Jiang Feng said seems to be twists and turns, it actually captures the inside, which is simple and intuitive.

Han Dong thought for a while, seemed to have an understanding, and said: "In this way, the father can also be yang, and the mother can also be yin. But yin and yang do not lie in the parents themselves, but in the relative relationship between the father and the mother, can it be called yin and yang?"

When Jiang Feng heard this, he knew that he had gained, and praised: "The son can be taught!"

It's just that Han Dong still seems to have unresolved doubts, and Jiang Feng doesn't interrupt his thoughts, but waits quietly.

After a while, Han Dong was puzzled: "But what Senior Brother Jiang just said, everything is yin and yang, why is there still five colors in addition to black and white? and why are there people and all things between heaven and earth?

"You can think of this is enough to show that you are very wise, and the yin and yang I just talked about are relatively only one side of yin and yang. If it is relatively yang, what can be described as yin?" Jiang Feng seemed to be interested in comparing.

Between the questions and answers, Han Dong naturally sat straight and upright, as if he had returned to the scene of facing the gentleman who had accepted the dogma. I saw that his brows frowned slightly, his expression focused on the outside of the object, staring at the ground in front of him and falling into deep thought.

After a long time, Han Dong habitually pointed at his eyebrows and shook his head heavily: "Senior Brother Jiang, I don't understand. According to what Senior Brother Jiang just said, I can still understand it. The sun is against the moon, the sky is against the earth, and the black is against the white, and the two can become yin and yang. If the relative is also regarded as one of yin and yang, what can take care of each other with the relative? You said just now that the relative is already yin and yang, so isn't there another yin and yang in the yin and yang? Isn't it incomprehensible to go on like this?"

"Sure enough, that big monkey is not an exaggeration, Senior Brother Han, you do have innate wisdom in your understanding!" Jiang Feng pressed a little surprise in his heart, and Han Dong could think about it deeply, which could not be said to be amazing.

How could an ordinary person at the age of six be guided by his words to think to such a point?

At this point, Jiang Feng no longer intended to be elegant, but eloquently explained the mystery: "Yin and Yang are actually a kind of mutual existence. Relative is only one of them, and the other side is the combination of yin and yang. The combination of yin and yang can give birth to all things. As you just thought, between heaven and earth, there are mountains, rivers, grass, trees, people, beasts, and all kinds of spirits. All things are opposite to each other because of yin and yang, and when the relative image is turned into a conjunction, all things are reborn. For example, the father and the mother, the father is masculine, and the mother is feminine, the two are opposite, but they are compatible. The son is different from the father, and the daughter is different from the mother. The children then find their own relative yin or yang, and merge with it to have children. It is different, and it is endless. ”

Han Dong really listened a little twisted this time, trying to cut into the context of his thoughts between the relative union of yin and yang and the transformation of life and breath, but to no avail. Although he can vaguely grasp all kinds of truths, he can't understand them. I can only continue to think along with what Jiang Feng said.

And Jiang Feng seemed to look at Han Dong a little differently, and he had a deliberate mind. It doesn't stop it, and it doesn't say anything. Instead, he was left to frown and think for himself.

If the relative is one of yin and yang, the conjunction is the other of yin and yang. So the meaning of the conjunction of yin and yang can give birth to all things, so can the relative yin and yang produce anything? or is the conjunction the atmosphere of new life? or is it not a new life, and something else? then suppose that there is a relative new life, and the conjunction is new, and there is a new yin and yang between the new life, and the yin and yang of the 'new life' will be ......

Just when Han Dong was deeply trapped between the principles of yin and yang, his thoughts were circling and he couldn't extricate himself.

He didn't realize that as his mind sank into thought, his eyes were already diverging at this time, and the breath in his body suddenly collided!

At this critical juncture, a spiritual voice burst out in Han Dong's ears. The brain is like a thunderous drum, like a horse's hooves, rumbling!

Han Dong Huo Ran woke up from his contemplation, and when he looked down at himself again, he was already sweating profusely and panting like a cow without realizing it!

At this time, Jiang Feng's eyes flickered, and there was a trace of anxiety and apology on his face. Hurriedly leaned over and reached out to support Han Dong's shoulder, and asked eagerly, "Senior Brother Han, how do you feel?"

Han Dong gasped for a long time before he was able to gradually clear his breath, and said while breathing, "It's much better now, thank you Senior Brother Jiang." ”

Although he didn't know what was going on, he just knew that Jiang Feng must have helped him at a critical time! Otherwise, although he couldn't imagine the consequences, he could also guess in his heart! It would definitely have an unpredictable impact on his cultivation, and it wouldn't be a good thing!

Jiang Feng's face was a little stupid, and he hurriedly said: "Senior brother's cultivation is still shallow now, so it's better not to think too much about this yin and yang principle first." Fortunately, the younger brother should not think deeply, and what the brother talks about is only a shallow theory of yin and yang. Otherwise, once something happens and the damage is completed for the junior brother, it will be difficult for me, the senior brother who teaches and teaches the martial arts, to take the blame!" as he spoke, the spiritual light in his hand floated into Han Dong's body to help him calm his breath.

After Jiang Feng felt that the breath in Han Dong's body was smooth and smooth, Jiang Feng withdrew his aura and said earnestly: "This Yin and Yang Principle is something that can only be cultivated and comprehended by a cultivator like me, and the junior disciple must not comprehend it without authorization again." Today, we only need to know what yin and yang are, and as for the rest, we don't need to delve into it, it's because of brotherly affection. ”

Han Dong sat on the futon, and his heart was naturally afraid for a while.

So, he saluted Jiang Feng with a solemn expression and responded, "Yes, the kid remembers what Senior Brother Jiang has ordered." ”

After that, Jiang Feng no longer showed his reasoning and intentions, but talked about the method of 'general knowledge' at a glance.

"The Dan Sutra Meditation that I practiced in the Aoki Sect is a neutralizing and stable Dan cultivation method. Presumably, junior brother, you already know that Dan Xiu is a technical cultivation, and it does not focus on combat power. ”

"Yes. Yesterday, another senior brother had already mentioned it, but he didn't explain it in detail. ”

"It's okay, just know the difference between magic and magic for the time being. The Dan Jing Shentong is divided into 12 layers, and it is a merit scroll that can be completely cultivated to the realm of ascension, and cultivated to the immortal level! It is said that by cultivating this method, you can smelt heaven and earth, refine the sun and moon, and achieve the immortal spirit body of heaven and earth according to the refining trick in it!" Speaking of this, Jiang Feng paused, as if he was a little embarrassed, and coughed twice before continuing to speak, "To be honest, I feel that this is a bit exaggerated for my brother. Senior Brother Han, in the future, after you get the formal exercises, for the arrogant words such as 'refining the Heaven and Earth Pill', 'Gathering the Sun and Moon Pill', 'Taking the Great Heaven and Earth, and Casting the Imperishable Body' on the frontispiece, forget it, don't spread it out in the sect. ”

Han Dong was listening quietly, and although he was a little puzzled when he heard this, he could only nod his head.

Jiang Feng then continued to speak: "Now, I will pass on your Danfeng general knowledge formula, and you will memorize it carefully!"

"Yes! Senior Brother Jiang. ”

"The gateway of the yuan, the parents of all elephants, the sun and the moon are in the belly, and the spirit is the axis. ”

The interpretation of this sentence is that the appearance of the first consciousness of the element is the origin of all living beings, and as long as the body representing yang and the spiritual consciousness representing yin in the human body are located in the spine as the axis, the spiritual energy cultivation can be operated. ”

"Knowing the veins and crossing the line, cutting the rope in the middle; ”

The meaning of this sentence is ......"

......

After a while, after explaining the meaning in detail sentence by sentence, Jiang Feng asked, "Have you memorized all the four sentences and sixteen tips?"

Han Dong's mind gathered, and he turned over the words and sentences of the spiritual cultivation technique taught by Jiang Feng before nodding and replying, "Senior Brother Jiang, I have written it down, and there is nothing missing. ”

"Very well, then follow my aura and feel the central axis of the human body cut by the spine. Immediately, Jiang Feng asked Han Dong's back to turn around.

Jiang Feng pointed at the recipe, and a hair-thin aura drilled out from his fingertips. The aura penetrated from the Divine Court Aperture above Han Dong's head, and an aura slowly extended to the back pillow, and then extended all the way to the tail vertebrae through the spine that had been dredged by He Yanxu.

Different from the pain and torment when he first opened his veins, Han Dong only felt that this time there was only a faint warmth extending from the lower end of the spine to the Great Divine Court.

Han Dong carefully immersed himself in the wonders of mental sensing, and gradually fell into a state of sitting still.

About half an hour later, Han Dong woke up slowly.

"How does it feel?"

Han Dong carefully reflected on Fang Cai's wonderful feelings, and then said: "I feel a gentle warmth rising from my spine, hanging in the divine court, and the sea of knowledge is faintly moving. ”

Jiang Feng nodded with satisfaction and continued to advise: "This logistics is hard to practice this trick, if you have any doubts, you can press it first." Every three days in the morning, I will come here to open a seat to solve the doubts of all the monks, and when the time comes, I will explain them one by one. The day you entered the mountain was the day of the lecture, and two days later it was time to reopen. ”

Han Dong sat upright, bowed to Jiang Feng, and said sincerely: "Thank you Senior Brother Jiang for passing on the grace, the kid will definitely practice diligently!"

Jiang Feng nodded, stretched out his hand and said, "Senior Brother Han, give me the wooden card on your body." ”

Han Dong naturally took out the small arrow from his arms and handed it to Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng put the wooden card horizontally in the palm of his hand, and in his other hand, a little light enveloped the arrow, and then two small cyan characters appeared on the back of the arrow: one hundred.

After doing this, Jiang Feng handed the arrow back to Han Dong and explained, "The number behind the arrow is the exchange point. During this period, you will need to exchange points for practice, meals, ashrams, etc. This 100 exchange points are given by the master, and Senior Brother Han can cherish and use them. ”

"Exchange point? I also asked my senior brother to explain one or two on my behalf. Han Dong vaguely felt that there was a doorway in this exchange point, so he naturally wanted to ask clearly.

Jiang Feng smiled lightly when he heard this: "The exchange point can be exchanged for the cultivation resources of your cultivation here, clothing, food, housing, and cultivation, except for clothing and housing, the rest must be exchanged at this exchange point before it can be used." As for the explanation, I will explain it in two days, so you don't have to be anxious. As for what to use, you will know for yourself in these two days. ”

After explaining these words, Jiang Feng got up and put away the futon and motioned for Han Dong to get up.

Then after thinking for a while, he took out a green jade vial from his sleeve and handed it to Han Dong: "Senior Brother Han, this time you have strayed into Yin and Yang Thinking because of Senior Brother's reasons. Under the investigation, there was already a slight physical injury, which was the fault of the brother. There is a 'Guyuan Dan' in the bottle, you accept it as an apology. ”

Han Dong was stunned, did not reach out to take it, and was about to speak.

Jiang Feng seemed to already know what Han Dong wanted to say, and explained: "Senior Brother Han doesn't need to push back, this is due to brother's thoughtlessness, and it is reasonable to give you the pill." It's just that this elixir is also quite rare for new cultivators, so you can keep it in private and don't let other cultivators know. If the division commander learns about it, it is okay to say it directly. ”

Han Dong didn't shirk anymore, so as not to make Jiang Feng unhappy, so he calmly accepted the green jade bottle and put it in his arms. He had a good impression of this Senior Brother Jiang, so he naturally didn't want to get into trouble because of this trivial matter.

After accepting the jade bottle, Han Dong bowed down seriously and thanked him: "If you have more gifts from senior brother, junior brother will definitely practice diligently." Senior brother is kind, I will pay attention to the collection and not show off to others. ”

"Okay, junior brother is at his own convenience. After saying that, Jiang Feng turned around and walked out, raising his hand to signal that Han Dong didn't need to send him off.

Outside the courtyard, Jiang Feng looked up at the floating clouds in the sky, and his heart moved.

The clouds are covered with clouds, and the harrier is flying for the first time, and the future can be expected.
