Yefutidaolu

Chapter 57 Foundation (First Order)

After breakfast, Zuo Baicang took the initiative to pay the bill and said goodbye to Gao Jian.

In fact, Gao Jian could see that he didn't like the bowl of soup noodles, nor did he like the noisy mornings.

But he is also willing to 'be one with the light'.

As long as Gao Jian doesn't cause trouble and doesn't cause so many problems, the Zuo family is actually happy to live in peace with Gao Jian...

?
Gao Jian is skeptical about this.

It seemed as if he had softened his attitude towards the Zuo family, but in reality, Gao Jian was just gathering strength.

Is this the case with the Zuo family?

After all, Gao Jian knew that there was an old turtle in the fifth realm staring at him.

The old turtle didn't dare to do it himself. People become decadent as they get older, and he didn't have the spirit to fight to the death, let alone to fight to the death to kill a minion like Gao Jian, who was only at the same level.

Therefore, he would only put pressure on the Zuo family, and see which one the Zuo family felt was more valuable: the relationship with Baishan Jiang Guicheng or his own life and the face of the Shangshu behind him.

However, after Gao Jian's own analysis, he felt that it should be the latter for the time being. But if he dragged it out for too long, for a few years, and everyone got used to the title of Shangshu, the Zuo family would have to take action.

Yes, habit.

Humans are creatures that are very good at forming habits. Even if it is a title as scary as Shangshu, after a period of time without anything happening, people will get used to it.

Once you get used to it, it becomes difficult to feel awe again.

At that time, good opinions are not important.

Therefore, Gao Jian has to take the initiative before they get used to it.

Thinking about these things, Gao Jian strolled back to the Demon Suppression Division camp.

The camp was still deserted, with almost no soldiers to be seen, and no one knew where they were doing.

Gao Jian moved his shoulder. Due to his abundant energy, it was almost healed, with only a slight pain.

Well, let’s get some sleep first. Once his mind is a little clearer, Gao Jian will prepare to comprehend the second part of the Song of the Great Dao of Xuanhua Tongmen.

A three-inch smooth rusty knife should be enough, right?
Thinking of this, Gao Jian fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was already a little past noon.

Get up, eat something casually, and then carry out your daily exercise, practicing steps, swordsmanship, and various tricks and tricks of the Five Elements.

It was hard work, but the rewards were great.

Gao Jian is not lacking in understanding. The charm reflected through the lake of his heart is all the author's own understanding. Gao Jian's understanding of these things is as profound as that of the person who wrote the exercises.

But he needs time to adjust. Daily practice like this can help him integrate the understanding in his mind with the memory of his body.

Therefore, from an outsider's perspective, Gao Jian's progress can be said to be astonishingly fast.

Others need to think and practice the tricks at the same time, and maybe even have to go through life and death to "enlighten" them.

But Gao Jian does not need to realize it, or rather, he has already realized it.

He just needs to practice and master what he has learned.

By the time I was almost done practicing, it was almost afternoon.

After washing up and changing clothes, he sat cross-legged on the bed, placed the rusty knife on his knees, grasped the handle, and confirmed the three-inch bright tip of the knife.

So Gao Jian closed his eyes.

The second chapter of "The Song of the Great Dao of Mysterious Transformation" talks about the key to the second acupoint, as well as the strategies for practice, as well as the corresponding natural history and anecdotes and legends.

The lake of heart is clear.

Gao Jian's heart lake is big and wide, usually with quite a lot of waves, and it is even more difficult to make it clear.

Now that he had some common sense about spiritual practice, Gao Jian also knew what was going on.

Having a big and wide heart is a talent, but having a talent does not necessarily mean it is a good thing.

A big and wide heart lake means that one has an active mind, can consider many things, and has a smart head, but at the same time, it is also more likely to cause waves, and these waves are also bigger and more difficult to calm down.

A smaller heart lake is like that of a clumsy but persistent person. It may be easier for them to get started because, although the heart lake is small, it is easier to calm down. Although it does not reflect many things, there will always be progress if they take it step by step.

It is much better than having a big and wide heart lake but being unable to learn anything because of ripples.

After all, if there are ripples in the lake of the heart, the things reflected will not be real, so whether it is studying or thinking, the efficiency will become very low.

If a huge wave or tsunami is stirred up in the lake of the heart, the person might faint, or even become crazy and lose his reason and ability to think.

At this time, the heart of Tao is the seal.

A seal can easily calm the waves in the lake.

A stable Tao heart can suppress the lake of your heart and calm it down. This is what is meant by "not being surprised by things". Nothing can easily disturb your lake of heart, allowing you to think and comprehend more quickly.

But no matter what, as long as you are not dead, there will always be ripples in your heart, and there will always be some distracting thoughts and desires, just like the sea, with tides coming and going, and it is rare for it to be calm.

That's why there are things like 'retreat', 'meditation', 'incense burning and bathing', all of which are for the purpose of calming one's mind. For some others, practicing swordplay, killing people, or being between life and death can have similar effects.

And Gao Jian has a second seal.

His rusty knife, like his heart of Tao, can restore peace to the lake of his heart, and can make the lake of his heart as calm as a mirror, perfectly reflecting all the charm, and thinking will not affect this state.

To be honest, in this state, Gao Jian was as calm as a killer.

Through this state, Gao Jian's large and wide heart lake was perfectly utilized.

The second chapter of "The Song of the Great Way of Mysterious Transformation" entered Gao Jian's mind.

Three earthly immortals at the thirteenth realm, ten grand masters at the twelfth realm, and the founders of martial arts from more than eighty sects, all gathered together with their divine aura, and began to give lectures to Gao Jian.

The words are well-organized and the content is well-organized.

A collection of ancient texts and a compilation of miscellaneous works.

All things exist, and all names are listed.

It is like the earth holding up a mountain, and like a stone containing jade.

Mountains are naturally majestic and jade is naturally flawless.

The mechanism of the great way is like this in the middle.

The high view of cultivation is to see the precious moon filling the Dantian, the rosy glow illuminating the spiritual wisdom, many black lead essences, white gold marrows, hidden water yang, and dark fire qi. Black and white go back and forth, yin and yang return to normal, and both things are contained.

The first and second chapters of "Song of the Great Way of Mysterious Transformation" swirled in Gao Jian's mind, confirming each other, and pointing out many paths of cultivation for Gao Jian in a rather clever way.

This technique is suitable for almost all practitioners!
It's like climbing a mountain.

That kind of specialized skills are different. It is the predecessors who first confirmed a path through adventures. This path has been walked by them.
Then slowly select people who are qualified to take this path.

For example, if there is a hole on this road, which is a shortcut, but only people under 1.7 meters tall and weighing less than 100 kilograms can get in, then the disciples they recruit will all be of this specification, because only this kind of people can practice this technique. When other people come and see the hole, they can only lament that they are not talented and their physical fitness is not good enough to practice the magic technique.

The more shortcuts there are, the more requirements there are for people to choose from, the more demanding the physiques they need, and the fewer people who are qualified to practice. This technique is not bad, and the shortcuts he found are also very powerful. He walked along them all the way. While others were still at the foot of the mountain, he had already reached the top of the mountain through the shortcut.

The only disadvantage is that it requires natural talent, and very few people can practice it.

However, "The Song of the Great Dao of Xuanhua Tongmen" is different. This method of practice is like illuminating the mountains, telling you what the hills look like and what the shortcuts look like. You look at your own body shape and your own perseverance, and judge for yourself, or ask your teacher to help you judge, which path you should take.

Therefore, a lot of paths can be pointed out, some good and some bad. It all depends on your understanding, or the guidance of a teacher, and see what the teacher's insights are.

This set of skills was originally intended for instructors at official schools to help ordinary people find their way, and also to allow ordinary people to find a method that suits themselves.

Even if it is not so suitable due to your knowledge and intelligence, it is at least a path you can take. As for how far you can go, it depends on you.

But this just plays to the advantage of Gao Jian.

After Rusty Knife calmed down his heart, his terrifying "understanding" became so amazing that, with the help of the second and first chapters, Gao Jian almost saw through the road ahead.

Within the second realm, he has found the "optimal solution" for his own practice. Gao Jian even has the illusion that no one in the world can come up with a path that is more suitable for Gao Jian himself.

Of course, Gao Jian knew that this must be just an illusion.

The world is so big, how can one's insight be limited? What he understands is limited to the first and second realms. You must know that the optimal solution of the second realm may not be the optimal solution for the overall practice.

But no matter what, this is enough, enough to illustrate the mystery of the Xuanhuatongmen Dadao Song.

"It turns out... the Qi and blood shouldn't flow through the second rib, but should go around here, which can bring out more of the Dan Zhong essence."

"Using the essence like this is too inefficient. If the essence in Dan Zhong is refined in the spleen, the essence can be stronger and the strength may be increased by 30%."

"I was right to decide to follow the path of Niwan, but Niwan cannot be opened this way... My method is too slow and the effect is not very good."

"Niwan is located in the brain, and the nasal qi is connected to the sky. The sky is the head, the brain is the residence of the primordial spirit, and the nose is the orifice of the life gate. If the qi in the human body is insufficient and the clear yang does not rise, the head will tilt. I want to quickly set Niwan upright. I should find a pill or treasure that can strengthen the primordial spirit and the qi in the nose. In this way, I can enter the second realm within three months. Even if there is no treasure, I can advance to the second realm after a year of hard work with my energy."

Gao Jian greedily absorbed the insights, knowledge, and understanding of those who left behind the many auras reflected in his own heart.

Soon, a path leading to the second realm was woven by Gao Jian.

Just as he was about to admire it...

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew.

The lake of his heart was rippling, and Gao Jian's complacent mood caused wrinkles in the lake of his heart at this moment.

The previous perfect state of mind was shattered.

Gao Jian opened his eyes.

The rusty knife has been completely corroded and is no longer shiny.

"That's good. The harvest is rich enough." Gao Jian shook hands.

Although his skills had not improved at all, Gao Jian felt that he had become at least twice as strong as before simply by optimizing the existing structure.

The route of movement, the degree of essence and vitality, and the coordination of many parts within the body.

Just by doing this, I am much better than before.

Not to mention, he also found the path to the second realm.

Pay attention to the treasures related to the primordial spirit and the qi in the nose. Gao Jian feels that he urgently needs to improve his strength.

Whether it is the Zuo family or the Baishanjiang water tribe, Gao Jian has to improve his cultivation first if he wants to do these things.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but recall the magic sword hanging above the Baishan River.

It was this sword that gave Gao Jian the courage to finally make up his mind.

Because that sword proved that no matter how powerful the Baishanjiang tribe was, they were ultimately just a dragon trapped in water and a tiger in a cage, and the Zuo family could only rely on such prisoners to exercise their power.

Then, Gao Jian analyzed that their position must be unstable, just like the moon in the water.

A solid foundation should be like a river, unmovable forever; and like a mountain, stable and solid.

However, the Zuo family's temperament is frivolous, and frivolity leads to instability, and instability leads to disorder. Now they rely on their arrogance and power, are frivolous and arrogant, and regard the common people as maggots, which are not worth paying attention to. They show off and boast in front of gods, and are infected by wealth and honor as if they were a disease, and swallow them like hooks. They are frivolous and cunning, and deceive people into living without knowing the truth about death.

Therefore, after looking at the sword, Gao Jian made a judgment that the Zuo family is now nothing more than a scorpion that is endangered by the world. They are now relying on the power of the tiger to bully others and acting like jackals and snakes. Little do they know that behind the momentum, there are countless forces that are ready to subvert them.

As long as he makes good use of it, he can not only eliminate the harm of blood sacrifice for the civilians of Cangzhou, but also help Bai Ping to get revenge.

Well, my injuries have almost recovered, so let’s go and seek justice for those lonely souls today.

Gao Jian opened his eyes, looked at the setting sun in the sky, and walked quickly towards the many mass graves.

These people are the result of the blood and tears left behind step by step in the outer city of Cangzhou.

Even if there is no Zuo family and no benefits, Gao Jian will help them.

With a rusty knife in his hand, Gao Jian arrived at the 39th mass grave.

This is also a garbage dump in the countless twisted and spider-web-like alleys in the outer city of Cangzhou.

And here...

The wind was blowing coldly and there was not a single sane ghost in sight.

Gao Jian sighed.

In fact, he had expected this. In most mass graves, there were only one or two conscious ghosts, and the most in one mass grave was seven.

Among these more than 500 mass graves, there are always a few that have no clues.

I just hope these people can rest in peace.

Gao Jian sat down, lit the incense and candles, and bowed to the mass grave.

However, at this moment, a gust of cold wind blew over.

Gao Jian looked closely and found that it was Liu Ping, the first female ghost he had sought justice for.

"Oh, it's Liu Ping. Have you merged with those ghosts? Your cultivation has improved a lot. Why did you suddenly come here?" Gao Jian said with a smile.

Liu Ping bowed to Gao Jian and said respectfully, "Liu Ping greets you, benefactor. What you did yesterday has spread among the ghosts."

"Now, all those lonely ghosts in Cangzhou are grateful to you."

"Well, I also want to thank you for not entering the reincarnation cycle and staying to help me." Gao Jian nodded and returned the greeting.

These ghosts' resentment had dissipated and they could have been reincarnated, but they still stayed to help Gao Jian. You know... what Gao Jian was going to do might cause them to lose their souls.

But they stayed.

"My benefactor, the ghosts here have completely lost their minds, but... I know how the people here died, but even if you help them to avenge, they can't help you. Do you still want to help?"

"It's my duty." Gao Jian answered without hesitation.

No other reason.

These ghost stories... most people cry when they hear about them.
