Li Yi stared at the yin-yang stone for a long time, but after all, he didn't see Fang Cai's scene again. I'm afraid that I will be dazzled, just like a person who has been squatting on the ground for too long, and suddenly stands up, his head will be dizzy and his eyes will be full of stars, Li Yi made a conclusion about what he saw!

At this time, Guo Bushou came to call Li Yi for dinner, Guo Bushou saw Li Yi's weeding in the other courtyard, and praised Li Yi for the first time, saying: "The apprentice is good, he has to be the true inheritance of the teacher!", speaking of which, his face really did not change and his heart did not beat.

Originally, the dining hall of the Yunshan faction was in the Yunshan Courtyard, but Guo Bushou was alone, obviously he didn't need the dining hall, the master and apprentice walked towards the top of Yunshan Mountain, the sun was shining, and the conversation between the master and apprentice drifted along the way with the mountain wind:

"Master, didn't you say that the gods don't eat grains and grains?"

“...... That's a god, we're just laymen......"

"Master, what are we going to eat today?"

“...... No vegetables...... Just some white rice...... We cultivators can fill our stomachs, so why worry about those ......"

"Master, didn't you say that we are laymen, why can't we worry about that?"

"Doom...... This ......"

Li Yi looked at the black rice balls on the dining table that were neatly made by Guo Bushou, and after trying hard to force himself to taste a little, he finally lied, saying that he didn't have a good appetite today, and Guo Bushou was not reluctant, glared at Li Yi, brought Li Yi's bowl over, and ate it with a "poof".

So, Li Yi fetched water in the stream next to the Yunshan Courtyard all afternoon, fortunately, the creek water was pure and natural, pollution-free, and a little sweet, but even so, Li Yi could only "grunt" his little belly, and secretly made up his mind that he would be a part-time husband of the Yunshan faction in the future.

During this time, Li Yi walked around the Yunshan Courtyard again, this is the residence of the Yunshan Sect for thousands of years, maybe he can find the cultivation method left by a certain predecessor, peerless treasures, etc., many adventures in the book are written like this.

However, Li Yi was very disappointed by the result, except for some rusty broken swords and clothes that were about to be grayed, Li Yi found nothing.

In this world, many people think that they have the aura of "protagonist", but in fact, everyone is just a "supporting role" of fate......

........................

In this way, the first day of Li Yi's coming to this world passed like this. Li Yi looked up at the sky, but saw a round of remnant sun hanging on the treetops in the west, and the twilight haze pulled down countless red lines from the mountain, covering the cloud mountain, dyeing it with a layer of red, and the clouds and mist floating on the cloud mountain became a burning flame at the moment, and there were goshawks flying in the sky, drawing a beautiful arc, and noisily drilling into the depths of the woods.

Li Yi remembered what Guo Bushou said, "Read the Analects in the morning, and sing the "Morality" in the evening", so he came to the Yin and Yang Stone, sat cross-legged, and said that it was strange, sitting on the Yin and Yang Stone, Li Yidun felt that the impetuous mood seemed to calm down all day, and all the complicated things in his mind left him, Li Yi took a deep breath, and after silently reciting a piece of Xuanqing Jue in his heart, he took out the "Tao Te Ching" and read it aloud:

"It's a good way, it's a very good way. The name is famous, and the name is not very famous. The beginning of the nameless heaven and earth, the mother of all things. Therefore, there is always no desire to observe its wonders, and there is always a desire to observe its subtlety. These two have the same name and different names, and they are the same as the mysteries, and the mysteries are mysterious, and the doors of all wonders ......"

Li Yi had also read the Tao Te Ching in his previous life, but when Li Yi read it at this time, he had more expectations in his heart.

The remnant sun gradually fell under the west mountain, a bright moon, rising from the eastern sky, the clear light will sweep away the hustle and bustle of the day, the blue sky is like washing blue, the wisps of clouds slowly rising on the cloud mountain, such as curling smoke in the pure night sky, only in the extreme west, there are still a few locks of ochre, vivid as dye.

There was a faint light on the Yin and Yang stone, wrapping Li Yi in it, Li Yi's clear voice penetrated out of it, resounding throughout the Yunshan Courtyard, perhaps it was because there had been no such movement in the Yunshan Courtyard for too long, and the rare birds and beasts on the mountain poked their heads out one after another, blinking their eyes and looking at Li Yi, as if they were surprised by the arrival of this neighbor, but they looked at it for a long time, and they didn't understand what was going on.

"Tao Te Ching" was sprinkled with 5,000 words, Li Yi quickly finished reading it, Li Yi did not pause, and read it eight more times, a total of three or three nine times.

Guo Bushou told Li Yi at lunchtime: Among the numbers from one to ten ten, the singular number is yang, and the even number is yin, and three of them are heaven, earth and man, three give birth to all things, and the number of three is nine, and the cloud of the Book of Changes: nine, the number of yang, and the outline of the Tao is also! That is to say, nine is the number of the yang, and if it rises again, it will be unified and start anew! Therefore, even the "Tao Te Ching", which expounds the natural way of heaven and earth, can only be ninety-nine and eighty-one.

Li Yi only felt refreshed, with a coolness all over his body, and the operation of his head seemed to be much clearer than before, without the feeling of dry lips and dizziness after reading before.

Li Yi put away the "Tao Te Ching", got down from the Yin Yang Stone, and went back to the room, ready to sleep.

........................

There are many sects in the world, and the cultivation methods are different, such as Taoism, there are various cultivation methods such as inner dan, outer dan, and talismans, but when it comes to the specific steps of practice, there are no more than two, or like Confucianism, "three watches and five watches, it is when men are studying", emphasizing diligent acquisition; or like Zen Buddhism, "do not set up words, do not pass on outside the teaching; directly point to the hearts of people, see nature to become a Buddha", emphasizing chance epiphany.

And only the practice steps of the Yunshan School are very different from those of other sects, because Lu Sheng, the ancestor of the Yunshan School, attained the Tao because of dreams, so the secret of the practice of the Yunshan School lies in two words: sleep!

"In a mortal's life, sleeping accounts for one-third of the time, and the people of the Yunshan Sect such as me make use of this time, and the cultivation speed is faster than that of other sects. For hundreds of years, our Yunshan Sect has shone in the cultivation realm because of this!"

Guo Bushou was holding the sparse beard on his round chin at that time, and said to Li Yi with a smug face: "Everyone in the world wants to sleep, only my Yunshan Sect can practice in my sleep, hum!

Each sect has some secrets that are not passed on, so as to gain a foothold in the cultivation realm, and the Yunshan Sect is no exception. Speaking of which, this Yunshan School's dream cultivation Dafa is indeed perverted, it is simply a plug-in for later generations to play games, and out of thin air it has one-third more practice time than others, no wonder others are red-eyed, but Li Yi is not in this case, such a good thing falls on Li Yi's head, and Li Yi is too late to grin?

The moon is like practice, venting on the cloud mountain, adding a bit of ethereal and deep to the majestic and magnificent cloud mountain in the daytime, like a fairyland on earth, the mountain wind is gently whistling, bringing the crickets around the Yunshan courtyard, as well as the occasional night owl cry on the mountain, a qiē is telling the world: the night is deep!

Li Yi worked hard for a day, and soon fell asleep, I don't know if he repaired his luggage in his sleep, anyway, Li Yi had no dreams all night.

........................

The next morning, the sky was dark, the night was about to disappear, and the dawn of the morning slowly woke up the sleeping creatures. The air was cold, the Yunshan Courtyard was rendered hazy and psychedelic by the white mist, and the mountains in the distance were also painted with a soft milky white ...... Those rare birds and beasts that had slept all night were still stretching their waists, yawning, and wanting to welcome the arrival of the sun, and the crisp voice from yesterday's dusk had already come from the center of the Yunshan Courtyard:

"Zi said: 'Isn't it pleasing to learn and learn?' Friends come from afar, aren't you happy?' people don't know and are not ashamed, aren't they also gentlemen?'......"

It was Li Yi who was reading the first of the hundred books of Confucianism, the Analects, which was longer than the Tao Te Ching, with 3,927 articles and more than 16,000 words (note: the current version of the Analects is 20 articles, and the Buddha chose 39 of them due to the needs of the novel).

By the time Li Yi finished reading the Analects nine times, it was already three poles in the sun, dispelling the fog, but Li Yi finished reading the "Analects" today but the feeling was not the same as reading the "Tao Te Ching" yesterday, Li Yi felt very warm in his heart, and his limbs were lazy and comfortable.

Li Yi was very excited, the feeling after reading the book these two times is very much like the kind of "entering the room" described in Xiuzhen's novel?

..............................

Li Yi got down from the Yin Yang Stone and went to the main hall to tell Guo Bushou about these two situations, hoping to get some guidance, but he was poured a basin of cold water by Guo Bushou.

Guo Bushou didn't know where to get a roast chicken at this time, carrying the wine gourd around his waist, eating with relish in the main hall, after listening to Li Yi's story, Guo Bushou wiped his greasy hands on the Taoist robe, snorted nonchalantly, and said: "Just this little thing, what are you excited about? You are just looking for a natural cultivation 'waste material', and I hope that if you sit on the yin and yang stone for a few hours, there will also be the situation you said!"

Li Yi was a little depressed. But after thinking about it, I have only been working for a day now, and if it is so easy to cultivate the Tao, I am afraid that everyone in the world will go to find the method of immortality.

..................

The new book is on the list, and I beg for the recommendation votes of all Taoist friends, thank you!
