"Thank you, Third Elder. It doesn't matter whether you are an elder or not. Chen Guang just doesn't want the Taoist skills of my Wudang Daoji Palace to be lost."
"Haha, you are still so awkward. Others don't know what you are capable of, senior brother. Don't I know it too? Among our senior brothers, you are the smartest. If we don't get you to the elder's hall, we will
The loss of the foundation palace.”
"Third Elder has promoted Chen Guang. I don't know when this new group of disciples will be trained. I might as well let my apprentice Jia Zhentian go to train for a month."
"Junior brother, I can apply for you and issue a patent for your apprentice, eliminating the need for one month of training. What do you think?"
"No need, Third Elder. Training is the rule of our Daoji Palace. Chen Guang cannot break the rules just for personal gain. Besides, the January training is also good for Jia Zhentian."
"Well, there are three more days for the training. You go back and let your apprentice prepare. If he can pass the January training in my Daoji Palace, then he will be sent back to you."
"Thank you, Third Elder. Chen Guang will be resigning now."
"Oh, go ahead. It seems you are still worried about that matter."
Chen Guang, who turned around and was about to leave, trembled when he heard the third elder's words, but he recovered immediately and walked out of the Shadowless Palace without looking back or answering the third elder's words.
"Apprentice, what are you doing?"
"Master, you are back. When Jia Zhentian had nothing to do, he thought about folk body-building techniques. Now that I have entered Master's sect, I must be practicing advanced martial arts, so I will first learn the basic skills."
Chen Guang nodded and said: "Okay, okay, although I, Daoji Palace, didn't use this horse-breaking skill decades ago, but you have such a desire to learn, and the master is also satisfied. Stop it quickly."
Come on, Master, tell you about my Daoji Palace."
Jia Zhentian immediately regained his energy and stood up quickly, almost falling to the ground. After regaining his balance, he quickly came to Taoist Master Chen Guang and said: "Master, can you tell me? I am very interested in this Daoji Palace.
"
"Haha, apprentice, do you know why I chose you to be my disciple?"
Jia Zhentian said without thinking: "Because of what I said."
"That's the right answer, but do you know why Master accepted you because of those words?"
Jia Zhentian pondered for a long time before saying weakly: "Is it because of the Tao in that passage? Is it because I have Tao roots?"
"Tao root, although even Master doesn't know what this Tao root is, it should be about the same. The reason why Master accepted you is because you have Tao root and have a good understanding of Tao, so you can say those words
, is enough to prove that you have a heart to cultivate the Tao, and the master is a person who pursues the Tao diligently."
"Is it difficult to find a disciple like Jia Zhentian?"
"It's difficult, very difficult. Nowadays, there are fewer people who truly understand the Tao, even fewer who truly learn the Tao, and even fewer who truly understand the Tao."
"Hearing Master say this, this ugly and sad person like me feels a little carried away."
"Disciple, today I will briefly tell you about the Tao. Tao is divided into many. What we want to pursue is the Tao of Heaven. The so-called Tao of Heaven is not a person..."
"Is that a god?"
"Jia Zhentian, don't interrupt, let Master explain to you slowly."
"oh."
"Tao is actually a phenomenon. You can understand it as a law, a pattern, the so-called Tao of Nature. You can also understand Tao as nature, natural laws, and natural regulations."
"Master, can you explain it more clearly? It would be better if you could give examples."
"Well, Jia Zhentian, why do you think this fire can burn trees? And why can it smelt metals?"
"Isn't this an attribute everyone knows?"
"Attributes, let's just say, they are the attributes that everyone knows. Water can extinguish fire, fire can refine gold, metal can overcome wood, wood can overcome earth, and earth can overcome water. These are the principles of the five elements' mutual restraint. In fact, this is the Tao.
Live according to the Tao, perish by going against the Tao."
"Could it be that what we learn is these natural laws? Can't we also learn them in school?"
"This is the simplest way. The true way can destroy the world, turn the clouds over, change the appearance, and change the world."
"Ah, you're so awesome, it's hard to do this, right?"
"It is very difficult, or even impossible to achieve, but Master is a diligent pursuer of the way of heaven. No matter how difficult it is, Master will not give up."
"Then Master must have mastered many natural ways that are not accessible to outsiders, right?"
"There is no great way, but it is true that you know more than others. Jia Zhentian, practicing and realizing the Tao is boring. Are you willing to follow the master to learn the Tao?"
"This disciple originally had an ugly appearance, but Master did not dislike it and was able to come to Daoji Palace. If he could follow Master to enlightenment, that would be Jia Zhentian's luck. Even if he could not follow Master to enlightenment, Jia Zhentian would still be with Master forever.
Respect the left and right, and saddle the horse in front and behind for Master."
"Jia Zhentian, if you understand the Tao well, you will naturally be able to appreciate its magical effects in the future. Now Master will let you see some magical Tao."
Taoist Master Chen Guang slowly stretched out his right hand, and a bright light instantly appeared in his hand. The light became stronger and brighter, and the temperature continued to rise. The two of them seemed to be next to a stove, being baked by the high temperature.
With a sound of "Boom.", a medium-sized flame appeared on Taoist Master Chen Guang's outstretched right hand, which shocked even Jia Zhentian, an eighth-level master.
Seeing Jia Zhentian's excited expression, Taoist Master Chen Guang said: "Disciple, this is what Master only realized last year. Only when your body slowly transforms into a fire attribute can you do this. As long as you work hard to understand the Tao, you will be able to do this in the future."
Success must come from being a teacher."
Jia Zhentian's eyes lit up and he said: "Master is really a strange person. It is really an honor for Jia Zhentian that Jia Zhentian can be favored by Master."
"Jia Zhentian, although you are the disciple personally selected by the master, the rules of the Daoji Palace cannot be broken. In three days, the training day for these new disciples will be held. At that time, you will also have to undergo a month-long training. During the training
There are dedicated instructors who will teach you the training methods to strengthen your body. Only by passing the academy required by the instructor can you officially become a disciple of my Daoji Palace."
"Then if you fail the training, will you be kicked out of Daoji Palace?"
"The Daoji Palace is as deep as the sea. How can it be so easy to get out? All disciples who cannot pass the training will be arranged to work in the logistics of Daoji Palace to do miscellaneous things for the Daoji Palace, or even become servants of some genius disciples.
follow."
"Then if Jia Zhentian fails to pass the training, can't he become Master's disciple?"
Taoist Master Chen Guang looked at Jia Zhentian and said: "Since I brought you in, you are destined to be my disciple of Chen Guang, but Master hopes that you will pass the training and become my disciple of Chen Guang in an honest and upright manner."
"Master, don't worry, Jia Zhentian will definitely train hard and become your disciple in an upright manner."
"Okay, Master believes in you. You are destined to be my disciple, Chen Guang. Remember, don't expose Master's secret of being able to control the way of fire."
"Yes, Master."
"This is a simple Taoist scripture. It contains some knowledge of Taoism. If you take a good look at it, maybe you can understand something?"
"Master, have you learned anything from the book?"
"Not many, there is only one kind. Whether you can realize it or not depends on your destiny."
From this moment on, Jia Zhentian truly came into contact with the knowledge of Taoism.
Chenguang Palace was the name that was changed after Chen Guang Tianzun moved in. The larger palace next to Chen Guang Palace is called Wushuang Palace. It is the palace where Leng Wushuang lives, who was favored by Overlord Jia Zhentian.
Leng Wushuang sat cross-legged on the bed, eyes closed, and slowly changed his handprints, as if he was practicing some kind of skill. His hands changed faster and faster, becoming more and more natural.
"Pfft." A mouthful of blood spurted out from the cold and charming Leng Wushuang's mouth.
"Damn ugly man, I, Leng Wushuang, will not kill you until I am a human being."
After saying the harsh words, two tears fell down Leng Wushuang's sad face. Twenty years of chastity was broken in one fell swoop. Without the prince charming of her dreams, and without her own nod of approval, she was forcibly taken away by an ugly man.
If Leng Wushuang loses his body, no matter how strong he is, his mind will be affected.
Suddenly, Leng Wushuang quickly wiped away her tears, quickly pretended to sit cross-legged, and began to make handprints with her hands.
"There's no need to hide it. You practice the exercises for yourself, not for the master."
Leng Wushuang stood up quickly and said, "Master, I'm sorry."
"What are you sorry for me about?" A cold voice came from the mouth of a masked woman.
"Wushuang has been unable to break through the fifth level of the Shadow Technique, and I feel ashamed of my master's teachings."
"Do you still know that you are ashamed of your master? Wushuang, please listen to me. Although you have become the number one killer of Netque Hall with Blood Rose, it doesn't mean anything. If you want to avenge your father, it goes without saying.
A killer landlord can't do it even if the entire Netque Hall is yours."
"Yes, Master."
"You seem to be in a bad state?"
"No, it's just that I haven't been able to break through the fifth level of Shadow Technique, so Wushuang is very upset."
"Netque Hall is no longer up to the level of training you. I will arrange for you to go to the Hong Gang or the Qing Gang later. You need constant fighting in the underworld to hone you."
"Master, I."
"What do you want to say? You want to give up revenge, you want to give up the Shadow Art, you want to just sink like this."
"No, Master, Wushuang must work hard to practice and break through the fifth level of Shadow Technique."
"Master, I spent countless hours to get the Shadow Technique from the Hell of Death at the risk of almost death. As long as you can break through the eighth level of the Shadow Technique, you will become an eighth-level peak master.
Avenge your father."
"Master, didn't you say that my enemy is also an eighth-level master? Why can I take revenge when I become an eighth-level peak master? Even if he is not an eighth-level peak master now, when Wushuang becomes an eighth-level peak master, I'm afraid of him
