On this day, Yu Shuang and Pan Xincheng walked leisurely in Pan's mansion, chatting about the past, and Yu Shuang admired Pan Xincheng's chivalrous courage even more. And Pan Xincheng also knows a lot about what has happened in the past 50 years after the master has retired.

The two of them walked along the stone road, and unconsciously came to the "Hidden Dao Forest" in Pan's Mansion, which is where Pan Xincheng practiced Taoism.

As soon as he stepped into the stone arch, Yu Shuang felt that this place was very vast, with vertical and horizontal forests, mostly young trees, and the green mist curled up, entrenched in the middle of it, like a fairyland.

I don't know if it's late autumn, most of these trees only have branches left, and without the foil of forest leaves, they actually seem to have a bit of depression.

"Let's go inside. Pan Xincheng waved his hand and led Yu Shuang, who was looking at him in a daze.

Yu Shuang followed behind Pan Xincheng and walked deep into the forest.

The mist was cold along the way, and for some reason, the soft sunlight couldn't dispel the mist like green silk. As if floating out of the woods, although the two of them were only five steps apart, the deeper they went, the more blurred their figures became.

Yu Shuang observed carefully and found that the trees here looked exactly the same, even the height and thickness of the trees were the same. In addition, the green fog is like smoke, hazy and does not disperse, if you get lost in it, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get out.

Yu Shuang couldn't help but follow a few steps closer, frowned and asked, "Uncle Pan, it looks weird here, are you practicing the Dao here?"

Pan Xincheng turned around and smiled faintly, walked in front with his hands in his hands, and said as he walked: "Not bad." I have been practicing here all the year round, summoning the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into my body, and even the surrounding weeds and trees have benefited from this year. Now you look at them, deep-rooted, full of vitality, seem to have the appearance of aura possession, these smoke mist, is they emitted, although the smell is cold, but for the human body, it is beneficial to the whole body to invigorate the blood, longevity and longevity. ”

Yu Shuang followed behind Pan Xincheng, faintly feeling that the soil under his feet was very soft, and the deeper he walked, the more he felt that he had a bit of a fairy style, and he felt like he was in a fairyland rather than an immortal.

The only thing that puzzled him was that the green mist here was pervasive, the way to come had been swallowed by the green mist, the way to the road was still hazy, the forest was all land, and there was no way to extend, four directions, eight directions, all the same. How does Uncle Pan tell the way?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "Although this place can be called a fairyland, it is also like a maze, how does Uncle Pan distinguish the road conditions?

Pan Xincheng smiled and said lightly: "Yes, if ordinary people come here, I'm afraid it will be difficult to remember the way they came, but the introductory lesson for cultivators is 'insight', mastering this technique, you can gain insight into the surroundings, as for how far you can perceive, you have to look at the depth of the Tao." In fact, it is not difficult, I will teach you the basics later, and you can master them in about 100 days. ”

Yu Shuang was surprised, if he learned this technique, wouldn't he have to be afraid that his sister would be playful and would have no way to find it after he ran away?

This thought flashed through his mind, which made him even more interested in Dao practice, and he couldn't help but want to see it.

Pan Xincheng paused and continued: "The cultivation method is in the 'Hidden Dao View', you need to start from one realm, but ......" Saying this, he suddenly turned around, his eyes flashed, his face suddenly became solemn, and his tone also changed to resolute, as if he could not question or violate it in the slightest: "Cultivation must be done step by step, and you must not find shortcuts, the biggest difference between the righteous path and the demon path is this." Although the Demon Dao Dao has the effect of a thousand miles in a day, but in the end, 'in the middle of the day, the moon is full, and then it will be lost', for example, if you want to draw qi to ten times the effect, your own meridians will inevitably be loaded, thus hurting the body, at least you will go mad and fall into the devil, and at worst you will never recover. Do you remember?"

Yu Shuang looked at Pan Xincheng's eyes as bright as stars, nodded heavily, and said, "Yes, Uncle Pan, Shuang'er remembers." ”

The solemn look on Pan Xincheng's face suddenly faded, replaced by joy and unconcealed appreciation.

"Let's go, cross the stone bridge in front of us, and we'll be there. Pan Xincheng patted Yu Shuang's shoulder and smiled slightly.

Yu Shuang followed Pan Xincheng and continued to walk forward, and through the green mist, a white jade arch bridge gradually appeared in front of the two of them.

The bridge is more than three zhang wide, bluestone steps, Yu Shuang slowly walked on it, as if stepping into a fairyland.

He looked down at the bridge, the green mist lingered, his line of sight was less than ten steps, so he looked at it, the front and back were shrouded in the green mist, only the bridge leaned forward and backward, submerged in the mysterious mist.

After about a cup of tea, the two of them slowly descended the steps, and a hazy building faintly peeked out of the green mist, standing tall in the mist.

As the footsteps approached, the ** building gradually faded its hazy veil and appeared in front of the two of them faintly.

Pan Xincheng's expression was as usual, and there was a kind of unconcealable fascination on the frosty face. Looking at this building quietly, it is a Taoist temple. The wall is about two zhang high, the dragon and phoenix are carved on the wall, there is a strange fairy picture, and the clouds are attached to it, and it looks solemn.

Pan Xincheng said quietly: "Let's go in." ”

Yu Shuang nodded, followed behind Pan Xincheng, pushed open the heavy gate, and walked into the courtyard.

Yu Shuang suddenly felt that the green mist here was much lighter than Zhicai, but the air seemed to be very humid and refreshing.

The courtyard is spacious, except for a bluestone paved road, the rest is overgrown with grass and green.

Because of the humidity of the air, there were cool dewdrops on the blades of grass, which slipped faintly.

He followed Pan Xincheng and walked forward along the stone road, there were two stone pillars standing at the entrance of the Hidden Dao Temple, about one person high, two stone lions carved from jade squatted on it, making a proud roar, looking majestic and majestic, and the breath of the king was undoubtedly revealed.

Pan Xincheng gently pushed open the door and walked in.

Yu Shuang followed, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw two huge calligraphy and paintings hanging on the front wall, which was very eye-catching.

He looked closely, and at a glance he recognized the characters on the two calligraphy and paintings.

One was like a demon, with a terrifying expression, slender limbs, and two pairs of antlers growing out of its head, sharp teeth and sharp teeth, making a proud roar.

The other is a gentle portrait of Confucianism, dressed in white, holding a seven-colored feather fan, with an indifferent expression and a smile. It seems incompatible with the style of the previous calligraphy and painting, but it hangs side by side like an unprecedented.

Yu Shuang knows the two people in the calligraphy and painting, one is the ancestor of the Demon Dao, Jian Zhu, and the other is his father with the same name, that is, Yu Qiong, the leader of the righteous path "light".

Both of them have made merits for the world before and after, and they are the Taoist Venerables respected by the world.

Under the portrait is a quaint dark black offering table, on which are placed two blood-red offering candles, the candlelight flickering, flickering and dimming. There are also some fruits placed on it, and a gray four-legged copper tripod stands in front of the offering table, and the body of the tripod is carved with a dragon and a crouching tiger, lifelike, all of which are made to roar proudly.

Pan Xincheng walked under the two calligraphy and paintings, took out three handfuls of sandalwood from the offering table, lit them on the offering candle, and bowed down to the two calligraphy and paintings with both hands in his hands. Then the sandalwood is inserted into the ding, and the green smoke curls up.

After a while, the smell of sandalwood in the view overflowed, and a ** and solemn atmosphere filled the view.

Yu Shuang looked around, looked at the temple, but saw that the interior of the temple was quaint, very empty, in addition to calligraphy and painting, offering tables and copper tripods, there was also a huge futon on the ground in the center, he expected that it should be Pan Xincheng to meditate.

At this time, Pan Xincheng turned around and said to him: "Shuang'er, I will first teach you the foundation of the first realm, the so-called introductory Dao method, which is the first time that a cultivator stimulates his potential and harmonizes with the power of nature. Before that, you have to learn to 'induce qi into the body', then 'insight into the spirit', and finally learn 'mind repellent'. ”

Yu Shuang nodded, moved her muscles and bones, and said with a bang: "I'm ready, Uncle Pan." ”

Pan Xincheng smiled slightly, groaned for a while, paced slowly, and said:

"The heart does not act in vain, the line of extinction is silent, and the spirit desires.

Thinking without vain, what Pluto is related to, what Xiao Peng wants.

There is no quality in gold, no roots in wood, no stillness in water, no fire in fire, and no ruins in earth.

There is no thunder, no light, no wind, no sand, no print.

Ten thousand from the heart, ten thousand from the heart to extinguish, is a success!"

Yu Shuang was puzzled, frowned and asked, "Uncle Pan, what are you talking about?" Shuang'er couldn't understand a word. ”

Pan Xincheng smiled faintly, patted Yu Shuang's shoulder, and said slowly: "Where can it be so easy to understand? ”

Yu Shuang was confused when she heard this, her eyes were full of doubts, and she said, "What does it mean to be different from person to person?"

Pan Xincheng paced slowly: "To put it simply, a trick, two people understand the meaning, and the things they understand are different, and the Dao method will naturally show its superiority." ”

Yu Shuang said: "Please Uncle Pan make it clear, what does this dry and difficult method mean?"

Pan Xincheng smiled slightly bitterly and said, "As I just said, there is no actual comment. It must be understood literally, and it depends on personal understanding. When I first practiced, I had some understanding, but I couldn't tell you, you need to use your heart to understand, after all, people have different qualifications, if I tell you what I have learned, you can only cultivate like me in the future. You must know that my generation is just a grain of desert, and it is difficult to compare with good gold and jade. Do you see what I mean?"

Yu Shuang scratched his head in a daze and nodded, but there were still doubts in his eyes, and he seemed to understand it in his heart, but how to comprehend this extremely difficult trick? It really gave him a headache.

Pan Xincheng hesitated for a moment, looked at Yu Shuang's thoughtful appearance, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, he secretly gritted his teeth, and said in his heart: Although this method is boring and difficult to understand, it is a lesson to evaluate the qualifications of cultivators. Whether it is pure jade and gold, or mediocre talent, it is all in one thought. Shuang'er, I hope you can be enlightened, and in terms of Taoism and understanding, you are better than me, an unsuccessful person!
