Since delegating power to Liufang, Ye Haotian, the magistrate, has done it very easily. When he returned to the county, Wang Ji came to report: "Five big ships are ready to set off at any time." ”

Ye Hao ordered him to find the captain and the head of the guard of each ship, and before leaving, there were some things that needed to be explained.

The time was not long, and more than ten people came. Five captains, including Li Ke and Li Rui, arrived. The other five were the ship's guards, all of them were big men with bulging temples, and they knew that their kung fu was very good.

"Everyone, please take a seat!" Ye Haotian beckoned everyone to sit down, and then said: "The voyage is imminent, I have a few words for you to consider." First, safety is the first thing when you go out, and you can give up the cargo if necessary, as long as the person comes back!"

Li Ke and Li Rui glanced at each other and couldn't help but nodded: "Master said it well! Sometimes the sea is windy and you have to throw away the goods, and there is no way!"

Ye Haotian looked at everyone and said, "Second, the captain and the martial artist must cooperate with each other and perform their duties. The captain is in charge, and the martial artist has to listen to the captain's arrangement. ”

"Well said!" several martial artists agreed. Only a young martial artist was silent.

Ye Haotian saw that the young man was only ten years old, his face was full of childishness, and his expression was quite conceited, so he asked, "What's your name?"

The man muttered: "I, Han Feng, always feel that something is wrong, why not the captain listen to the arrangement of the martial artist?

Ye Haotian looked at him carefully, and felt that he didn't look like an evil destroyer, and said with a pleasant face at the moment: "The most difficult thing in ocean trade is navigation. So the captain is the master of a ship. ”

Han Feng didn't speak, but his demeanor was disapproving.

Ye Haotian confessed a few more words, and after everyone dispersed, he left Han Feng behind and asked, "Little brother, why did you come to apply for a martial artist?"

Han Feng said expressionlessly: "I'm bored at home, I want to know something." ”

Ye Haotian shook his head slightly: "It's better not to go, I'm afraid that you will go out and cause trouble." ”

Han Feng opened his mouth and shouted, "My lord, why did you say this! I am ready, I just have to go to Nanyang!"

Ye Haotian said solemnly: "Sailing is like marching, there is no regulation and there is no aspect, can you abide by the rules?"

Han Feng said indignantly: "A small county town, there are so many rules! Hmph! If you don't pull it down, it's not a big deal!" After speaking, he turned around and left.

Ye Haotian shouted, "Wait a minute." ”

Han Feng turned around and said sarcastically: "My lord wants to keep me?" I can come if I want, I can go if I want, who can keep me in this small county town?"

Ye Haotian didn't care, and said with a slight smile: "Where are you?

Han Feng's face was indifferent, his expression was a little gloomy, and he closed his mouth and stopped answering.

Ye Haotian asked again: "What skills do you have? Can you show your hand and show it to the county? If you really have a stunt, I will make other arrangements." ”

Han Feng suddenly turned around, drew a five-foot-sized circle on the ground with his foot, and said proudly: "As long as someone here can force me out of the circle, I will be willing to be punished!"

Ye Haotian looked at it interestingly and said with a smile: "Little brother, since you are so bold, can you let me try it?"

Han Feng looked at him in surprise, a little hesitant in his heart, and shouted, "My lord, are you going to make a move......?" I'm standing still and letting the adults hit me, and if they can force me out of the circle, I'll lose. ”

Ye Haotian said with a smile: "I made a move." After speaking, his body did not move, and he lifted it with one palm, and slapped a palm lightly from two feet away.

Han Feng stood at his feet, he didn't feel anything at first, but gradually felt an invisible pressure, the pressure gradually increased, and his feet involuntarily floated. He was in a hurry, and hurriedly squatted down and tied up his horse, trying his best to resist the wind in his palm. But the wind grew stronger and stronger, and at last the whole body floated up, and drifted towards the door, and when it was about to hit the door frame, the wind suddenly disappeared!

Han Feng was ashamed and ashamed, stunned for a long time, knelt on the ground with a plop, and shouted: "The little one is guilty, please punish the adult!"

Ye Haotian stepped forward to help him up and asked, "What faction is my brother? Can you tell me? Please rest assured, I won't harm you." ”

Han Feng hesitated for a moment, looked up at his sincere face, and said, "Lord Qibing, I am a disciple of the thirty-second generation of the Taishan Sect, and I was forced to flee here because I had no choice but to flee here. ”

Ye Haotian looked at him in surprise and asked, "What's wrong with the Taishan faction? Could it be that there is an invasion of foreign enemies?"

Han Feng nodded and said, "The Taishan Sect has always been very calm. In October last year, a Taoist suddenly came to the mountain, chatted with the three elders and the head master ancestor in the Dan room for a while, and then left. Later, a few days later, the three elders suddenly fell ill, and the head of the sect patriarch also became red, which was very different from Ping. He called us and told us to leave early, saying that the Tarzan faction was going to close the mountain gate. At this, a sad and indignant look appeared on his face.

Ye Haotian frowned and asked, "What is the image of that person, and what is special about it?"

Han Feng thought for a moment and said, "That man is about fifty or sixty years old, his face is purple and red, and when he walks through the courtyard, all the flowers and trees in the surrounding area are withered, as if they have been burned by fire!"

"Chiyang Divine Skill!" Ye Haotian couldn't help but slap the table! Secretly said: "I'm afraid that the power of that demon path is still above me! Although I can cast a magic seal to turn the surroundings into a sea of fire, it is still difficult to do it if I have to walk all the way through it quietly, causing the flowers and trees within the ten zhang to wither!"

He was silent for a moment, then inquired carefully about the situation.

Han Feng answered as much as he knew.

Ye Haotian said: "In a year or two, I may go to Mount Tai to visit Master Ling, can Brother Han help me introduce me? ”

Han Feng thought for a while, reached out and took out a string of jade beads the size of a dragon's eye, untied the smallest one from it and handed it to him, and said, "On the day I left, the head of the sect called me over and gave me this string of jade beads. You give it to him, and he will understand. ”

Ye Haotian said: "Wait, since it is entrusted to you by the head of the family, this string of beads may be extraordinary, give me one, I am afraid that you will be in a hurry in the future." ”

Han Feng shook his head: "I've looked at it carefully, there are handwriting on other beads, but this one doesn't." ”

Ye Haotian took the jade bead and said, "Okay! If you need it in the future, you will come to me again." When you go to Nanyang, be careful along the way. ”

Han Feng agreed.

In the evening, Ye Haotian stood in front of the cabin with his hands tied and said to Lan'er who was standing beside him: "It seems that more than one sect has been controlled by the Nine Yin Sect. Mount Tai is more than 3,000 miles away, and I am now in a critical period of skill growth, which is not suitable for long-distance travel, and I can't go for the time being. ”

Lan'er said worriedly: "I am a teacher from Jiuhua, I don't know what happened to the Jiuhua faction." It's been more than two years since I left my master, and I really miss her old man. ”

Ye Haotian proposed: "Jiuhua is not far from here, let's go see your master together, how about it?"

Lan'er said excitedly: "Okay, it's better to leave tonight." ”

Ye Haotian nodded in agreement.

As dawn approached, the two began their journey. Ye Haotian had already entered the stage of the real human realm, and he flew nine hundred miles with ease. Seeing that he was about to reach Jiuhua Mountain, he fell down and hiked up the mountain.

Lan'er came out with a good idea, identified the direction, and led the way in front. As soon as I arrived at the root of the mountain, I saw a round of red light gushing out, and ten thousand rays of light sprinkled all over the earth.

Lan'er introduced the situation of Jiuhua Mountain as she walked. Jiuhua Mountain is located in Chizhou, Anhui Province, formerly known as Jiuzi Mountain, because the Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai saw that this mountain is "thousands of zhang high, there are nine peaks such as lotus flowers", and the poem was renamed Jiuhua Mountain. "There are many famous mountain monks in the world". In the five years of Long'an in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Tianzhu monk Cup crossed to the mountain to create a thatched hermitage, preaching the scriptures and preaching, which was the first transmission of Buddhism Jiuhua. During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, the Silla monk Jin Qiaojue Zhuo Xi Jiuhua should be turned into a spiritual miracle of Jizo, and Jiuhua Mountain was then opened as a Jizo Bodhisattva dojo. Since then, various sects of Buddhism have competed to spread and communicate here, and there have been many high monks, and in the past ten years, it has reached its heyday, with more than 300 monasteries and 3 or 4,000 monks and nuns.

Ye Haotian listened with relish, admiring the local natural scenery while walking. Along the way, the boundless beauty comes into view, many splendid Brahma Palaces and Jade Universes, exquisite and unique thatched tent houses, or standing on the top of the peak and steep wall, or scattered between the valleys and jungles, decorating Jiuhua Mountain into a strange "Buddha Country Holy Land".

The two of them walked for a long time, and only came to Cuiyun Nunnery, where Lan'er learned art, at about the end of the day.

Lan'er was excited, and walked quickly to the front of the nunnery, and was about to step forward to knock on the door, but was pulled by Ye Haotian.

Ye Haotian looked at it intently, and felt that something was wrong.

Lan'er looked around and felt something strange. Because the monks get up early, someone should come out to sweep the courtyard and open the gate. However, now the gate is closed, and the courtyard is overgrown with weeds, as if it has been deserted for a long time. Seeing this scene, she was very nervous and didn't know what happened to her master.

Ye Haotian pulled her behind him, stepped forward and lightly clicked the door knocker, knocking three times.

It was a long time before someone opened a crack in the door and stood inside the door and looked out.

Lan'er recognized at a glance that it was Qingyun, a sister who was studying the same art, and she was happy in her heart at the moment, but her body didn't move, wanting to see if Qingyun still knew herself.

Who knew that Qingyun said with a cold face: "Is there anything wrong with the two donors?"

Lan'er just wanted to speak, when she suddenly heard Ye Haotian rush to say: "Our couple came from thousands of miles away, and once made a grand wish to worship the ten thousand Bodhisattvas on Jiuhua Mountain one by one, and asked the little master to be merciful and let us go in and burn a stick of incense." The incense money will be doubled. ”

Lan'er didn't understand why he said this, and when she heard the word husband and wife, her face turned red.

Qingyun said coldly, "Please come in." There was an anxious expression on his face, and his eyes rolled a few times, as if signaling Lan'er to leave quickly. There was not the slightest movement in his hands, and the door was still only a crack open.

At this time, a voice suddenly came from the courtyard: "Qingyun, why don't you open the door and invite the donor to come in? The Buddha gate is vast, and all living beings cannot be cut off from the upward heart of others." ”

Hearing this, Qingyun had to open the door with a sad expression on his face.

Inside the door stood a middle-aged female nun, smiling all over her face, looking like a market aunt.

Lan'er stared at each other and found that this person was very strange.

Ye Haotian walked to the Daxiong Treasure Hall in the nunnery, put on a few sticks of incense, and turned back to the middle-aged nun and said, "Can you ask the master to help me draw a lot and see how my career is." ”

The nun smiled and said, "Little donor, our signature here is very effective! ”

Lan'er whispered to the light cloud next to her: "Little master, I want to make it easier, where should I go?"

Qingyun looked at the middle-aged nun, who was busy drawing lots for Ye Haotian, and waved his hand when he heard the words: "You take her there." ”

Lan'er followed Qingyun for a hundred and ten steps, turned two corners, and Qingyun in front of her suddenly stopped, turned around and hugged Lan'er and cried bitterly, lowered her voice and said, "Senior sister, go quickly!"

Lan'er shook her head and asked, "How is the master?"

Qingyun cried and said, "The master is injured, and his skill has been sealed. There are people watching the hermitage, and you can't leave if you want to. ”

When Lan'er heard that the master was still alive, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and asked, "How many demons are there in the nunnery?"

Qingyun replied: "There were two of them before, and after monitoring them for several months, they saw that there was no movement in the nunnery, and one of them left. Now there is only one left, and that is the one who drew the lot. That person's skill is not low, and he has almost caught up with the master!"

Lan'er comforted: "It's okay, don't worry." ”

When the two of them returned to the Daxiong Treasure Palace, the middle-aged nun was unraveling: "Oh, the son is so blessed! ”

Lan'er held up a finger slightly. Ye Haotian saw it, and quietly said to the nun who had unsigned it: "Master, it doesn't seem right, the word signed seems to be 'You', not 'Dragon'!"

The nun had just received the sign in her hand, and suddenly felt that the big bag acupoint under the flank was clicked, followed by a finger in each of the parkway and the top of the top, not only the meridians were sealed, but even the Yuan Shen was sealed, and she was suddenly frightened, and the bamboo stick fell to the ground.

The three of them escorted the middle-aged nun to the meditation room of Lan'er's master Haofan Shenn. Qingyun stepped forward and knocked on the door, and a deep voice came from the room: "Come in."

Lan'er rushed into the room first, threw herself into the master's arms, and cried out with a "woo".

Haofan Shenni patted her shoulder with one hand, and said, "Silly boy, why are you here? Don't cry, isn't the master good?"

Lan'er raised her head, looked at Ye Haotian with teary eyes, and said, "Master, the disciple Meng Ye Gongzi rescued him, and he is all right." ”

Shenni glanced Ye Haotian up and down, and nodded with satisfaction: "There is the elegance of a scholar on the outside, and the indifference of the immortal path on the inside!

Ye Haotian stepped forward and bowed deeply, and said, "The disciple is a beginner in cultivation, and his skills are still shallow. I don't know how Shitai is doing, but where did the demon come from?"

Shenni sighed and said, "We are in the same vein, divided into seven branches, and the senior brother in charge has been gone since September last year. In February of this year, the third senior brother came here with a black-robed Taoist, saying that his sect was going to join the Nine Yin Sect, and asked me to lead his disciples to join together. At that time, I said: 'Although the Jiuhua faction is not comparable to Wudang and Shaolin, it has been established for more than 900 years, how can it break the inheritance and switch to another faction? Besides, this must be approved by the senior brother in charge in advance, and must be discussed and approved by the elders in the sect!' At that time, the black-robed Taoist said: "The head of your sect has already agreed!" I hurriedly asked, "Where is the senior brother in charge?" The man just sneered and did not answer. The two sides started to move, and the four junior sisters and I were all defeated in less than ten moves, and the third senior brother just watched from the side. Later, the man sealed our skills, saying that we should reflect on them, and then we walked away. Speaking of this, Shenni couldn't help but sigh again: "For half a year, I have been meditating every day to try to restore my strength, but it has never worked, it seems that it is not the acupuncture points, but a place located in the sea of marrow. ”

Ye Haotian plucked up the courage and said, "The disciple is willing to try and do his best for you." ”

Shenni glanced at him and saw that he was full of confidence, but it was inconvenient to shirk, so he said, "Then I will work hard for you!"

Ye Haotian ordered Qingyun to escort the middle-aged nun to the hut next to him to guard, and let Lan'er protect the Dharma in the meditation room, and then sat cross-legged behind Shenni, with both palms against her vest, and said: "Qi Shen Dantian, the soul is too empty!" After the divine consciousness of both sides was quiet, Ye Haotian's Yuan Shen floated into the sea of marrow of Shen Ni, first looked at the Yellow Pulp Island, and found that the five spirits were all fine; After looking around and finding nothing, he had to get up and look down from a high altitude.

He had never looked down on the whole sea of marrow as he did now, and found that the sea of marrow was actually divided into four seas, three seas in the circumference, one sea in the middle, and the surrounding three seas were different, one was slightly reddish in color, and seemed to be composed of serum, which could be called the sea of blood, one was clearer, and the sky was filled with thick mist, which could be called the sea of air, and the other was very light and turbid, as if there was a water valley in it, and it could be called the sea of water valleys. Each sea has a narrow channel connected to the central medullary sea, which supplies nutrients to the medullary sea.

He quickly looked at it, and suddenly found that the passage between the sea of qi and the sea of marrow was blocked. When I flew over, it turned out to be a small pea. He picked up the peas, and the passage became unobstructed.

Soon Shenni woke up, probed a little, felt refreshed, his strength had recovered, and he was relieved at the moment, and saluted Ye Haotian: "Poor Ni thanks Lord Ye!"

Ye Haotian hurriedly said: "Master Tai Mo should be polite, just call me Haotian." I wonder where the rest of the uncles are?"

Shenni's expression darkened: "The three junior sisters were escorted away by them, and one of them was humiliated and dismissed by himself!"

When Lan'er heard the bad news, she couldn't help but lie on her master and cry bitterly.

Ye Haotian was also very sad, sighed and said, "I don't know what the master has planned?" If there is no arrangement, it is better to go to Yandang with us." ”

Shenni shook his head and said, "I have a senior uncle who has cultivated to an earth immortal. I want to go to him and ask him to go out of the mountain to save the Jiuhua catastrophe. ”

A few people chatted for a while, and the middle-aged nun was brought up.

At this time, the nun still refused to give in, and still gritted her teeth and said: "You really don't know whether you live or die! When the palace master arrives, all of them will die!"

Ye Haotian thought of the Dharma seal he had cultivated recently, so he nudged the word "fear" with one palm.

If the nun was struck by lightning, her whole body trembled, and she no longer dared to talk nonsense.

Ye Haotian drank: "Say, who are you?"

The nun trembled and said, "I...... I was a poor man, too! I was a hunter, but I was killed by a tiger when I went out hunting, and my only son also died. As a result, in less than two years, the nunnery was accepted by the Nine Yin Sect. We nuns were locked up in a dark room, and those who were obedient were let out, and if they were not obedient, there was no food. I had no choice but to beg for mercy from them. They took me to another palace, passed on some skills, and after two years let me come here. ”

Ye Haotian continued to ask, "What kind of palace is that, and where is it?"

The nun shouted, "I don't know! I am blindfolded when I go in and out, and I can't know where I am." ”

"And where is your original nunnery, and how many days have you been blindfolded?"

"The nunnery was near Xiangyang, and we were blindfolded and sat in the car and walked for five days. I've heard the name of the palace mentioned, it seems to be called 'Xuanyin Palace'. ”

"How many people are there in the palace? Have you ever seen the palace master?"

The nun replied: "I haven't seen it, there are many people in the palace, and the common ones are Dharma protectors, and even the elders are rare." ”

Ye Haotian asked some more things, but the nun's knowledge was limited, so she couldn't answer why. He pondered for a moment and said to Haofan Shenni: "Master, if you kill this person, it will be against the virtue of God's good life, and if you let it go, I am afraid that it will not be good for us." What do you think we should do?"

Shenni didn't have much to do, shook his head and said, "I have always only known cultivation, and I have never killed, so you should arrange this kind of thing." ”

Ye Haotian thought about it, used his power to suck back with both palms, and at the same time the word "god" appeared in his mind, pulled out the god of one of the five spirits of the female nun, and then found a rosary from the Buddhist hall, injected the spirit into it, and sealed the rosary with a spirit rune, and said: "From now on, she will be like a walking corpse, lose all her memories, and after a few years, after eradicating the demon and evil, she will drop the rosary to the ground, and the god will go back by itself." As he spoke, he handed the bead to Shenni.

Shenni took the rosary and hung it on the Buddhist beads used in ordinary recitation, and said to the gods locked in the beads: "Don't be impatient, listen to my chanting well, and it will be considered a creation for you." ”

Lan'er took the master's arm and was reluctant: "Master, you better come with us." ”

Shenni smiled slightly: "Lan'er, you have embarked on the path of cultivating the truth, what else can't you see? It is your blessing to have Haotian take care of you, you have to cherish it." ”

Lan'er glanced at Ye Haotian, and her body was slightly twisted.

The two sides parted, and Shenni went down the mountain with a few nuns.

After Shenni's figure disappeared into the verdant mountains, Lan'er led Ye Haotian to a rare place and continued to visit the strange natural scenery of Jiuhua Mountain. Along the way, they saw 10,000 acres of "Minyuan Bamboo Sea" lush and green, thousands of birds and beasts shuttled through the forest, and hundreds of famous flowers and plants competed for beauty, as if a beautiful and colorful landscape painting.

As she walked, Lan'er suddenly said, "Childe, there is something rare in Jiuhua Mountain, guess what it is?"

Ye Haotian really didn't know when he thought about it, so he looked at her with a smile.

Lan'er saw that he couldn't guess, so she whispered, "That's the 'True Body Bodhisattva'." There are many immortals and Buddhas in the world, but there are very few true bodies left, but there are more than ten in Jiuhua Mountain. ”

Ye Haotian was very surprised. It is said that Buddhism can achieve the incorruptible body of Vajra through cultivation, but there are very few existing physical bodies. Intrigued, he asked, "Where are all those bodies?"

Lan'er said embarrassedly: "I don't know the specific location either. It is said that there is a physical treasure hall in a mysterious cave, and every Bodhisattva in Jiuhua Mountain will leave a will there before ascending, and the secret mantra is written at the entrance of the cave, plus the prohibition, and the person who is not a Buddha can not get out if he enters it. ”

Ye Haotian felt strange: "If you can't get in and out, who has ever seen those bodies?"

Lan'er said: "The head of the previous generation, Haiyu Bodhisattva, once lived on the East Cliff Mokong Ridge, fed on wild fruits, and copied the "Dafang Guangfo Huayan Sutra" for more than 20 years with finger blood and gold powder, totaling eighty-one volumes. After the merit is consummated, he once entered the temple of the flesh and recorded it in the record, so that future generations will know about it. ”

Ye Haotian is very fascinated by such a place. However, his current cultivation has reached the critical period of becoming an immortal, and he can't make any extraneous branches, so he has to say according to his mood: "Let's go back." I don't want to become incarnate now, and I want to accompany Lan'er for a few more years!" After saying "haha", he laughed, and his eyes stared at Lan'er's beautiful face mischievously.

Lan'er felt his strong affection, stepped forward to hold his arm, and said softly, "Then go home." ”

※※※

Returning to Yandang from Jiuhua Mountain, Ye Haotian felt the need to greatly improve Lan'er's skills, so he handed her the tonifying and qi-boosting pills he had refined, and instructed her to take two pills a day, and after taking them, she meditated and practiced. This pill contains thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, Shou Wu, hundreds of years of ginseng, as well as the best yellow berries, atractylodes, licorice, peony, etc., taking one can be worth a year of ordinary people's practice.

For the next two months, they stayed at their home in Yanhu. Ye Haotian went to the county every few days to have a look, and came back immediately after handling official business. Lan'er no longer follows him all the time, and sometimes stays in Yanhu, like a gentle wife staying at home.

On this day, the merchant ship that had gone to trade in the South Seas returned. In addition to earning 200,000 taels of silver, he also brought back a large number of sandalwood, pepper, pearls and other items, and it is estimated that he will earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver if he sells them. Ye Haotian instructed to go down, consider how much money he made in the end, and increase the honorarium for all the crew.

Finally, Rick handed over a few fist-sized pieces. Ye Haotian took it in his hand and looked at it, not knowing what it was. Li Ke said: "When we went to Nanyang, we found that the locals ate this, and after tasting it, it tasted good, so we brought it back. ”

Ye Haotian asked, "Does this thing have a name?"

Li Ke shook his head and said: "The local pronunciation is weird, we can't learn it, and when we come back, everyone calls him 'Golden Potato'." ”

Ye Haotian glanced at it a few times and said, "This thing is similar to cassava, and it was introduced by Fanbang, so let's call it 'sweet potato'." "Everybody says it's a good name.

Ye Haotian took a few casually and asked everyone, "Is there anything else on the boat?"

Li Ke nodded: "There are a lot of them! I have almost eaten on the way, and there is only one basket left." ”

Ye Haotian instructed: "Then don't eat it, leave it for next year and plant it in the ground, and see if it can grow." ”

The crowd agreed to go down.

Back at Yanhu Lake, Ye Haotian planted sweet potatoes by the lake, where the climate is suitable and should be able to grow.

Lan'er asked curiously, "What is it?"

Ye Haotian said: "This is brought by everyone from Nanyang. We look at all kinds of things, and if the good seeds are promoted, they will be promoted to the whole county. You can't just plant one type of crop, and only when there are more varieties can you choose. ”

Lan'er saw that he was so leisurely and leisurely, and said softly: "Childe, I want to ask you a word, but I'm afraid that you will be unhappy, I asked you not to be angry, okay?"

Ye Haotian smiled and said, "I'll never be angry with Lan'er, you ask." ”

Lan'er's beautiful big eyes blinked, and said: "It is said that when the son encounters a great disaster, he should be grief-stricken and do everything possible to take revenge, but you can still arrange affairs calmly and step by step, why is this?"

Ye Haotian looked up at the sky and thought for a moment, and said calmly: "There are three answers, first of all, hatred is not the whole of life, and you can't ignore beautiful emotions because of hatred." I fought against the Nine Yin Sect not for simple revenge, but to stop them from continuing to do evil. Secondly, cultivating the Tao is cultivating the mind, and if the state of mind is not good, it is difficult to cultivate the Great Dao. I want to be a generous and benevolent Confucian immortal, not a narrow-minded samurai who only knows revenge. Third, revenge is strategic, and it is necessary to avoid the real and attack the false. For me, the top priority is to quickly improve my cultivation, and at the same time find a few thieves to kill, so that they don't get carried away. Every shot must be well prepared, there is only one life, and there must be no mistakes. ”

Lan'er was very satisfied with what she heard, and then asked: "I also understand what Childe said, what I want to ask is, how do you manage to be calm, how can you control your impulses?"

Ye Haotian said loudly: "This is the Confucian golden mean. The sage said: 'What is not partial is middle, and what is not easy is mediocre.' Joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness are not yet in the midst of it. It is said to be the sum of the middle sections. Everybody has emotional impulses, but they have to be kept to a certain extent, because if they go too far, they will only hurt. As for how to control it, it is necessary to cultivate more 'Haoran righteousness', and if the righteousness is sufficient, the evil cannot be done. ”

Lan'er looked up at him, her eyes were full of admiration, and she bowed and said, "Thank you, son, Lan'er has been taught." This is what you often call the characteristics of Confucianism, right?"

Ye Haotian nodded, but he was thinking about how to further cultivate Haoran righteousness, although he had accumulated a lot of spiritual qi in his cultivation, but there was still a difference between the Taoist "refining and refining qi" and the "Haoran righteousness" that the sage said. Haoran righteousness emphasizes more refining the mind, to "be erudite, interrogative, prudent, discerning, and practiced". He carefully understood the master's subtle words and tried to find a way to cultivate.

The process of cultivating immortals is long and arduous, and it is really rare to have a coincidence like him and be accompanied by a beauty. In contrast, the eighteenth level of the real world was particularly difficult, and he spent a great deal of time meditating and meditating, sometimes for days at a time. Fortunately, when you are resting, you can chat and play games with Lan'er, facing the pearl-like Yanhu Lake, and you will not get bored of staying for thousands of years.

When the two of them are fine, they tend to the sweet potatoes. Watching it sprout, grow, and crawl on the ground feels like feeding a pet, changing every day, and feeling fresh every day.

It's time for the New Year again. During this time, Lan'er's progress was very fast, and she had gone from the first level of the first realm to the third level of the first realm. Ye Haotian himself also extended the time to enter the void to one hour. And you can freely change the appearance of your bones, and you don't need to wear any masks anymore.

At this time, he became worried: "Since I can change my appearance, the other party can also change my appearance! Also, the demon hasn't seen my true face so far, what if he sees me in the future and becomes my image?" Thinking of this, he suddenly shuddered, took Lan'er's hand, and asked, "Lan'er, do you know me?"

Lan'er looked at him in surprise, not knowing what he meant by asking.

Ye Haotian said with a serious face: "If someone changes into my appearance, can you recognize it?"

Lan'er thought for a while and said, "Not necessarily at first, as long as you give me a cup of tea, I can recognize it." Because recently, the righteousness in you has increased a lot, and if someone with evil thoughts sees you, I am afraid that I will not even be able to speak. ”

Ye Haotian put down his snack slightly, but despite this, he still agreed on a few incisions.

Lan'er recited it silently several times and memorized it in her heart.

Ye Haotian proposed: "I feel that the progress of cultivation is not fast during this time, it seems that I need to go out and go around, and I can only advance by leaps and bounds with adventures." You might as well go to your house first, and then go to Mount Tai and Qingcheng. ”

Lan'er couldn't hide her excitement: "Okay, it's another year." I'm one and can meet my parents, so I can make them happy!"
