"It's okay, but you have to be accompanied by the sacred trees of Jieshi Mountain. As long as the sacred trees are willing to accompany you when you leave, you can leave at any time."
"What if there is no Shenmu who is willing to accompany us and we have to leave by force?"
Taoist Yimu looked at Li Bai and said a little strangely: "You don't want to leave without learning, do you?"
Li Bai was startled, waved his hands and said, "No, I'm just curious."
"It's okay to ask, even if you want to leave by force, it's okay, but whether you can leave is a question. The Mu Laoguai I mentioned to you just now has also been practicing here for seventy years. During this time, he wanted to leave countless times. As a result,
Not even once did he succeed, and the Shenmu was beaten all over his body with bruises!"
"Old Monster Mu is still in Jieshi Mountain? Doesn't he know the art of controlling wood? How come he was beaten all over?" Li Bai was very curious.
"The art of controlling trees is divided into levels. Controlling one tree, two trees, three trees or multiple trees depends on each person's practice. There are tens of millions of sacred trees on Jieshi Mountain. You can't compete with thousands of trees by controlling one or two trees."
"Can Old Monster Mu, who has been practicing Taoism for seventy years, only be able to control one or two trees?"
"That's not all, he can already control Wumu!"
"Didn't you just say that you can leave Jieshi Mountain as long as you have the sacred tree with you? Then wouldn't it be enough for him to leave with Wu Mu?"
Taoist Yimu shook his head and said: "What I said is that the sacred trees can leave only after they voluntarily follow them. But being able to control the trees does not mean that the sacred trees are willing to follow them. The sacred trees are all spiritual and temperamental."
Li Bai looked surprised when he heard this, but when he remembered that Mr. Mu Du and Chen Song, the master of Shenmu, had listened to their words like this before, he felt normal.
At this time, Taoist Yimu continued: "Li Bai, if you really don't have the confidence that Shenmu will follow you, then you'd better leave immediately to avoid being trapped here for decades like the old monster Mu."
When Li Bai heard this, he quickly waved his hands and said, "Even Mr. Mu Du and Taoist Chen Song have sacred trees that they are willing to follow, so I'm not worried. Where are the sacred trees in Jieshi Mountain?"
Taoist Yimu pointed in a circle with his hand, "All the plants and trees here are sacred trees!"
All plants and trees are! Li Bai was extremely surprised, but he was also relieved, thinking that among so many sacred trees, one or two must be willing to leave with him, so he said: "Senior, I am very willing to learn the way of enlightening trees, but senior
, do you want everyone who comes here to teach Wu Mu the art?"
Taoist Yimu nodded and said: "Of course, do you think it is easy to come to this forest? Do you think those sacred trees growing randomly along the way? You are wrong. Without the sacred trees to make way, no one can come to this forest. So as long as
Anyone who can get here, as long as he is willing to learn, I will definitely teach him!"
After hearing this, Li Bai was convinced by Taoist Yimu's words, so he compiled and said: "Senior... Master, I am willing to follow you and learn the way of Wumu. Please accept my disciple's worship." After that, he said to him.
A Taoist named Yimu performed the ceremony of worshiping his master.
Seeing this, Taoist Yimu quickly stopped him and said, "Li Bai, please don't worship me, I can't be your master."
When Li Bai heard this, he was very puzzled, "You taught me the way of enlightenment and you are already my master. Why do you say you can't be my master?"
"Because the Mu Dao sect accepts disciples based on fate, I feel that I have no master-disciple relationship with you, so I will not be your master."
Li Bai was stunned, "But...but if you don't become my master, wouldn't I be considered a bad person?"
"That's not the case. Our Mu Dao sect is the descendant of the Wood God Jumang, and he is our master! The way of understanding wood, including the art of controlling wood, was created by the Wood God. We so-called masters are just descendants of the wood god.
The person who passed on the oral instructions. Okay, I have said all that needs to be said. Since you are willing to enter the door of Wood Way, then I will start to teach you the Way of Wood Enlightenment. As for how far you can practice it, it depends on your own understanding.
.”
After that, Taoist Yimu began to teach Li Bai the way of understanding wood. Half an hour later, he taught Li Bai all kinds of wood techniques.
After all the Taoist techniques were taught, Taoist Yimu said to Li Bai: "Li Bai, I have taught you the Tao of Wumu. If you have any questions, please ask them quickly, because I already feel like I have ascended. The master is right.
If you find the right person, you can achieve enlightenment and become an immortal. It seems that I have really achieved enlightenment this time."
When Li Bai heard this, he was both happy for him and a little melancholy. He had just finished teaching and was promoted to immortality. If he had any questions during his training, he really didn't know who to ask. But now he had to ask questions all at once, and he really didn't know what to ask.
?
Seeing that Li Bai remained silent, Taoist Yimu said, "Li Bai, if it's okay, I'm leaving. I've heard the master's call."
"Wait a minute." Li Bai suddenly remembered a question and said hurriedly: "Senior, I really have something to ask you."
"What's the matter?"
"I am fortunate enough to have mastered Taishang Laojun's heavenly skill Lingyun Step. Its eighth layer happens to be Lingyun Wood, which belongs to the Five Elements Wood. However, I have never been able to understand it, so I have been unable to break through. Now my senior has taught me the way to realize the wood.
I would like to ask my seniors for some advice on the integration of the two."
"You can actually master Taishang Laojun's Lingyun Step?" Taoist Yimu was very surprised. He thought for a while and said: "All things are connected, let alone the wood way. The wood of Lingyun Step belongs to the five elements, and the wood of the five elements has six lives.
Li Bai, Palm
By grasping the tree of six lives, you can master the wood of the five elements. That is to say, you have mastered the way of enlightenment. If you have mastered the way of enlightenment, all the techniques of wood will be used by you, and all the sacred trees will be at your disposal. This is a great achievement.
!”
"The tree of six lives? What is the tree of six lives?"
"The trees with six lives are the big forest tree, mulberry tree, pine and cypress tree, willow tree, pomegranate tree and flat tree. As for their respective mysteries, you have to figure them out on your own. Okay, master.
Already called
Twice, the relationship between you and me ends here." After Taoist Yimu finished speaking, he stretched out his hand, and a piece of dead wood beside him immediately flew to him. When he sat on it, the dead wood rose into the air and disappeared in the dense air in the blink of an eye.
among the forest.
Looking at the disappearing figure of Taoist Yimu, Li Bai was a little disappointed, but he quickly came to his senses. The most important thing now is to understand the way of Wumu as soon as possible, break through Lingyunmu, and then return to Minggao Mountain to save people.
Thinking of this, he sat cross-legged on the spot and began to carefully measure the six-life tree that Taoist Yimu had just mentioned.
Three days later, Li Bai felt that Ling Yunmu was on the verge of a breakthrough, but still lacked an opportunity.
Three more days passed, and Lingyun Mu still had not broken through, so Li Bai stopped sitting cross-legged and practicing. He looked up at the top of the Immortal Platform above his head, and suddenly felt the urge to climb up, so he started going up the mountain again.
Two days later, Li Bai finally reached the top of the Immortal Platform. As far as he could see, he saw the vast sea in the distance, the vast water and sky, and the rocks watching the sea. He suddenly felt heroic and inspired by poetry, and he couldn't help but recite loudly:
(Shariputra)
Treasure land of golden rope world,
The precious wood shades the Yao Pond.
Wonderful music among the clouds,
The sky is full of magic.
…
A poem was just finished, but his heroic spirit was not over yet. Li Bai stood motionless while looking at the magnificent scenery in the distance.
