In the courtyard, the little Taoist priest held the sword flower, and when he heard the master's question, he raised his mouth and said: "The heart is free, the Tao follows the law, the god follows the people, the heavens, the earth and the people, and all the laws are in order." Where the heart goes, where the sword goes. What you want, what you can do with your sword. What the Tao is made of, what the law is combined. Where God goes, man rides...... Multiply ......"

"Take the ......" The voice in the courtyard was loud, and suddenly there was no follow-up, and the flying wooden sword of the little Taoist priest stopped. He lowered his head, scratched his bun, pondered and meditated, and finally had to look at the old Taoist priest with a helpless expression.

The old Taoist priest glared at him, stroked his beard, and reminded: "It's ...... to take advantage of whatever you want."

"Oh, yes. Take advantage of what you want. The little Taoist priest suddenly realized, and suddenly became interested again, and the wooden sword in his hand was once again vigorous.

At this time, the old Taoist priest shook his head and sighed: "That's it, that's it." It's hard for you to do what you want, and it's helpless to remember this sentence if you don't have enough foundation......"

Xu guessed what Li Chao was thinking, and without waiting to ask, the old Taoist priest continued: "Bazaar is also eleven years old this year, and today I will tell you why the foundation is ......."

"It is necessary to know that the foundation is the root of the human vein, such as the leaf of the lotus, the water of the boat, hidden in the dantian of the person, up to the divine court and down to the divine house, which is the foundation of the human spirit. The Taoist cultivation of qi is extended from this foundation, or refining the gods or refining the qi. Its refining reaches a high and profound realm, and moving mountains and boiling the sea is also a plaything in the palm of your hand...... But if there is no foundation, you can't cultivate qi and refine gods, and you are no different from mortals, and the life of mortals is fleeting for a hundred years. ”

Speaking of this, the old Taoist priest was full of emotion, he took off the small gourd on his waist and took a sip, and said earnestly: "Bastard, in the future, you must remember that the way of heaven is ruthless, the power of heaven is unpredictable, and the opportunity has not come, so you can't force it." ”

Although he didn't know what the master's words meant, the little Taoist priest still nodded. And he put away the wooden sword, thought for a while, and said curiously: "What is the way of heaven, why do you always speak ill of him, Master." ”

"Heavenly Dao, huh...... Let the teacher think about it. The old Taoist priest raised his head and pondered, pointed to the sky, and said with a smile: "This heavenly way, this is the ...... of this heaven" and then pointed to the masonry under his feet, and said: "It is also the road under this foot." ”

"Oh, it turns out that Tiandao is not a bad person. The little Taoist priest suddenly realized, and couldn't help grinning: "Then if I step on the head of the Heavenly Dao every day, it must be very angry." ”

Regarding the whimsy of the apprentice, the old Taoist priest couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

In the past six or seven years, Li Chao has asked the old Taoist priest countless times what his foundation is, but he has never answered positively, and he never thought that he would hear it today. Although it is mysterious and mysterious, it is better than nothing. Li Chao ran to the old Taoist priest and asked, "Master, do you have a foundation?"

The old Taoist priest bowed slightly.

"Then do I have a foundation?" asked Li Chao curiously again.

The old Taoist priest was slightly stunned, and his slightly moving head nodded stiffly, and the kind color in his eyes became even stronger.

"It turns out that I can also refine qi and gods. After receiving the affirmation, Li Chao cheered, and after a moment, he stopped abruptly and said: "Then why can't I practice what I want......

The old Taoist priest smiled bitterly, he glanced at the innocent little Taoist priest, and looked into the depths of the mountain range where the mist gradually dispersed, "Take what you want, take what you want is the way of heaven...... There are people who have been poor all their lives and have no place to live. ”

Oh, it turns out that there are three words behind what you want, that is, the way of heaven. But every time the master drank it, he once said that the way of heaven is slim, and the way of heaven is ruthless. If it's so slim, why do you want to pursue it? Li Ming's eyes fluttered, and his immature face was full of suspicion. It's no wonder that he has such a demeanor, Master has said more than once that the way of heaven is gradually approaching, and it is unpredictable. is also like the slimness of the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao is still very ruthless, and he refuses to see people!

And when I think about it, someone can't touch the threshold of the Heavenly Dao in his life, so isn't it normal that I haven't touched it?

Xu saw what Li Chao was thinking, and the old Taoist priest couldn't help but scold in a deep voice: "Bastard, don't measure your own depth by the height of others, if others can't do it, it doesn't mean that you can't do it! ”

The more the old Taoist priest spoke, the deeper he became, the more confused the little Taoist priest became.

Hearing Master's scolding, Li shrank his head and asked softly, "Even Master?"

The old Taoist priest was silent and nodded noncommittally. The way of heaven has only three words, but it is unfathomable, that is, he knows very little. At present, instead of being obscure, it is better to stop in moderation, and due to chance, you should understand.

However, Li Chao disagreed, touched his head, and grinned: "Master, your old man has tasted all the poisonous wine in the world and saved countless people in Dawn, and he has already made great merits. If the ancestor knows, he will definitely let your old man understand the way of heaven and become an immortal. ”

"Hahahaha......"

The originally dull atmosphere was broken by the little Taoist's childish words, and the old Taoist priest couldn't help laughing and said: "There is such a sentence as a bastard, and in the future, as a teacher, you will definitely be able to touch the ass of Tiandao!"

"Hahahaha......"

The cheerful and uninhibited laughter of the master and apprentice, under the swaying of the morning light, resounded throughout the entire Taoist temple.

After practicing the sword, Li Chao began a busy day, chopping wood for cooking, cleaning the courtyard, these heavy work, since he was a child, has been on his body, in the words of the old Taoist, this is the great task of heaven to Si Ren must first work his muscles and bones...... Even if you don't have a big responsibility, you can still strengthen your body and forge your muscles and bones.

In this regard, Li Chao worked hard and complained, and the sun rose and sunset were very busy. Outsiders say that he is a little demon king that everyone hates, but they never thought that he had such a cute side. If others see the little Taoist priest cleaning the courtyard with a dirty face, they can't be scared of the big teeth.

After cooking breakfast, Li Chao happily walked through the courtyard and ran to the main hall, only to see him holding a pot of white rice in his hand, and after a while, he ran to the main hall.

Above the main hall, the statue of the patriarch who has been unable to distinguish the face is standing in the curtain as always, only a plate of fresh fruit in front of the incense platform, which is missing two every three or five times.

In front of the hall, the old Taoist priest sat with his eyes closed, his head drooping, and he snored sweetly from time to time.

Li Chao ran from outside the hall, but when he saw the master sitting, he fell asleep, so he put down his rice and trotted all the way. After a while, I saw him bring a roll of futon and gently drape it on the old Taoist priest's body.

After doing all this, he patted his little hands lightly and walked out of the hall satisfied.

The morning sun shines on the damp Taoist temple, and there are blue birds passing by from time to time overhead, and the autumn breeze is sassy, which makes people feel refreshed. The little Taoist priest Li Mix sat on the steps in front of the main hall, looking at the mountains in the distance, shaking his head and reciting the scroll in his hand.

This is the homework he must do after dinner, and this book is also one of the inheritances left to him by the old Taoist priest, called 'Fighting the Demon Heart Method'.

Its mind is bitter and astringent, and it is difficult to fathom, and the little Taoist priest only knows its words, but does not know its meaning. If it weren't for the old Taoist priest's urging day after day, there would definitely be no progress like now. And in addition to practicing swords and reading every day, he naturally has to work for a living.

Drawing talismans is his third lesson, and it is also the means by which the master and apprentice rely on to survive. In the small town of Fenyang, many people have come to ask for the old Taoist priest's enlightenment talisman, which can be described as a talisman that is difficult to find. Although I don't know how effective the talismans are, every time I see Widow Zhang, Widow Liu, and Aunt Mei from Fenyang Town come to ask for talismans in the middle of the night, Li Chao believes that Master's talismans should be extremely effective.

In addition to the talismans, he was also arranged by the old Taoist priest to practice some strange Dharma pans and boxing techniques, one said that it was the Taoist inheritance of the sect, and the other said that the boxing method was a necessary exercise for strengthening the body.

I have to say that the boxing method is also quite effective, and it has been practiced for several years. His weak body always seemed stronger and stronger than his peers. It's just that the Fapan has gained very little until now, and it seems that no matter how he studies it, he always feels a little bit worse. The old Taoist priest said that this is related to the foundation, so you only need to know one or two of them and memorize them by heart.

Unconsciously, Li Chao looked at the courtyard gate, and gradually lost the mind of reading, and his thoughts drifted away. He wondered if it would be nice to be able to go out into the world sometime.

Listening to the people in the town, the outside world is wonderful, with a crowded town and a variety of delicious food, drink and fun.

Smack-

Just as he was distracted, a muffled sound suddenly came from above his head, and then, he jumped up with a painful cry.

And he covered his head and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Master, Master, I don't dare anymore." ”

The incident happened suddenly, and the old Taoist priest stood behind him for some time, and his pair of cloudy eyes stared straight at him at the moment and said: "I see that you have become more and more disagreeable recently, and you can wander the world when you do your homework, don't you think you can do all these homework, so you don't want to do it?"

It's over, and Master gets angry...... Li Chao rubbed his head, and couldn't help but wilt his momentum. Immediately, he pointed to the door behind him and said, "I see...... I saw Mrs. Xu, who was making wine, coming up the mountain with a spoon. ”

And after saying that, he couldn't care about the master's anger anymore, and fled to the dilapidated wing room on the right without looking back.

The old Taoist priest was also stunned, his heart came so fast. Suddenly, he was already at the gate of the courtyard.

When he came to the gate, the old Taoist priest looked down the mountain, but saw an obese middle-aged woman holding an iron spoon, halfway up the mountain, walking towards the mountain with a fierce momentum.

After a while, the middle-aged woman came to the door of the Taoist temple out of breath, and the old Taoist priest came to meet her in a hurry, the corners of her wrinkled eyes narrowed into crescents, and said: "Ouch, isn't this the Lord of the Confession, what kind of wind blew you over, isn't it that the light talisman is not easy to use?"

The middle-aged woman took a breath, glanced at the old Taoist priest, pinched her waist, and said angrily: "Dead ghost, get up, hurry up and bring your little apprentice to me!"

Looking at the wine spoon in the middle-aged woman's hand, and then at the red and swollen lips, the old Taoist priest shrugged his eyebrows, and couldn't help but say in a humble heart: "Oh, it's really unfortunate that the Lord of the Confession is here, my apprentice went to the town early in the morning to buy incense, why don't you wait here for a while?"

Ouch yo -

Before he could finish speaking, the middle-aged woman suddenly slapped him and immediately slapped him and fell to the ground.

"Little rabbit, don't let the old lady catch you, or she will skin you alive. The middle-aged woman slapped the old one and didn't stop, only to see the smooth chest like a hill rising and falling, she shouted while entering the Taoist temple and looking around.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the old Taoist priest glanced at the wing, and howled again and again: "Bastard, I can't stand you for the teacher......"

The middle-aged woman turned her head and glanced at him fiercely, then followed her gaze and strode towards the side room with a spoon.

The old Taoist priest shrank his head, covered his red and swollen old face, and was at a loss for a while, so he had to silently pray in his heart that the little Taoist priest would turn evil into good fortune and escape from death.

Bang –

But just as the middle-aged woman walked to the wing room and wanted to push the door open, the dilapidated wooden door suddenly opened outward, and with a 'pop', it slapped her in the face. At the same time, a small figure came out of the house and said, "Master, alas, the apprentice has come down the mountain to buy you rune paper——"

"Ouch yo...... The little beast is killing, come on...... Ouch!"

The doors are all open inward, but as everyone knows, the door of the Taoist temple is in disrepair, and it can be opened both inside and outside. But the middle-aged woman fell into bad luck because of this, and her already swollen face was completely broken. I saw her covering her face, lying on the ground and rolling around, and her miserable appearance was unbearable to look at.

The old Taoist priest squatted at the door, shrunk his head, covered his eyes, looked at the miserable middle-aged woman through his hands, and said in a trembling voice: "Ouch, don't say anything if you're incivil, don't look at it...... Don't say anything indecent, don't look at it. ”
