Under One Person, Mountain and Sea Painting Demon

"Ha ha……"

Seeing this group of young people getting along well with each other, Mr. Lu on the side was naturally happy. As a man of the world, he should make friends while he is young so that someone will respond when he needs help.

However, he still wanted to remind you of one thing, so he cleared his throat:

"Cough cough!"

"Lu Lin, according to seniority, you should call me Master Youfang. Although you can treat each other as peers at ordinary times, you still have to keep an eye on it in your heart!"

"Uh……"

Upon hearing what Grandpa Lu said, You Fang and Lu Lin, who were chatting and exchanging their cultivation experiences together, suddenly froze and looked at each other.

"Master... Master?"

Soon, looking at You Fang, who was as young as himself, Lu Lin spoke uncertainly, his lips even trembling a little, and it was obvious that he was extremely reluctant.

"Ha, okay, that's enough, don't call me like that in the future. It's too awkward!" Seeing this, You Fang couldn't help but shiver.

Come to think of it, he really overlooked this point. His old man and Mr. Lu are brothers in the same school, and he is equivalent to being a generation younger than Mr. Lu. In today's young generation... he is really "super senior"!

"So, by this calculation, I seem to be... a generation older than Zhang Chulan?" After calculating carefully, You Fang suddenly realized and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"So, I am Lao Ma's 'grandfather'?" He couldn't help but smile. Compared to the original "uncle" who cheated his nephew, he, the "grandfather", actually helped Lao Ma a lot!

However, seniority is one thing, and he is still so young, and he doesn't want to "take advantage of his age" so early, so he immediately said that they should just be friends on an equal footing in the future.

So, the six young people started talking to each other again, and with the presence of the two "social butterflies" Lu Linglong and You Fang, the scene became lively.

This went on until the evening, when Lu Linglong and Lu Lin's parents returned, Mr. Lu and his family arrived, and a banquet was set up in the restaurant.

The purpose of this banquet was, firstly, to welcome Mr. Lu and Youfang and the other three, and secondly, to welcome Youfang to officially join the Lu family. On the way back, Mr. Lu had already asked Youfang for his opinion, and now he directly proposed to adopt him as his godson, and Youfang agreed.

In this way, not only according to the master's school, but also according to the Lu family, Youfang is still a "super-generation", and his generation is higher than that of Lu Linglong and Lu Lin's parents.

Of course, according to the previous discussion, Youfang usually treats Lu Linglong and Lu Lin as equals. As for their parents, he can just call them by their names without paying attention to so many rules.

Seeing this scene, Hong Bin and the other two couldn't help but count in their hearts, and then they found that except for Fu Chen who was of the same generation as You Fang, Hong Bin and Tang Yingjie were of different generations.

However, they knew this kind of thing in their hearts and naturally would not mention it. Anyway, the four of them have always been friends and no one would care about it.

This banquet...

It probably lasted for more than an hour.

The party finally ended after eight o'clock when everyone had eaten and drunk their fill.

After that, the hosts, brother and sister Lu Linglong and Lu Lin, drove the group to the West Lake for a tour, where they saw the night view of the West Lake and visited the night market in Hangzhou.

It was not until about eleven o'clock in the evening that they returned to the Lu family villa, washed up, and went back to their rooms to rest.

……

……

Bang!

"call……"

After closing the door, You Fang let out a long sigh and relaxed completely.

To be honest, although he can feel at ease in such a lively occasion, what he likes most is quiet and leisure, without having to worry about too many things.

It was not until this moment that he finally felt at ease and relieved. The matter of Biyou Village was completely over for him, and he didn't have to worry about it anymore in the future.

At this point, he was finally able to return to the mood he had when he set out on his journey. He only needed to look at his feet and the road ahead, and travel freely and happily around the world.

Of course, freedom is freedom, but the necessary practice still needs to be carried out. Now that there is no security threat, he can devote himself to practice wholeheartedly.

Moreover, although the time in Biyou Village was short, he saw, heard, thought and imagined a lot. Apart from other things, the insights he had gained and the new techniques he could practice were already piled up there.

So, after washing up and completely relaxing his body, You Fang sat cross-legged on the bed, adjusted his Qi, and then took the "Mountain and Sea Scroll" in his hand.

Then, he activated the "Three Levels of Reverse Life", and an ink painting formed by Qi emerged from the "Mountain and Sea Scroll". On the scroll was a pair of vertical pupils containing the sun and the moon, which were wrapped in white Qi and integrated into Youfang's eyes.

Wow——! ! !

The next moment, two rays of light, one bright and one dark, lit up in the room. The sky and the earth changed, and Youfang also disappeared in the room.

In an instant, he arrived at the Lu family villa in the "Ruins of Time". Opposite him was Gu Jiting, who was sitting on a chair, looking at him quietly with a smile on his face.

"Now that you're here, have you made up your mind?" Gu Jiting spoke softly, and what he meant was naturally about becoming a disciple.

"Well, I've decided. I'm willing to become your disciple!" Youfang nodded. After the old Taoist's guidance, he had decided to improve his "observation skills".

"but……"

And then he changed the subject.

"You also know what my innate ability is. Therefore, I don't want to practice 'Daluo Dongguan' directly, but I want to comprehend and understand my own 'Guan Shu'!"

"Haha, no problem. I will only give you some pointers on the 'art of observation'. You can choose your own path." As if this was already expected, Gu Jiting smiled slightly and agreed.

Next…

"This is the practice method of 'Daluo Dongguan'. It contains my insights and annotations over the years. You can take a closer look." Gu Jiting took out an ancient book and handed it to Youfang.

Youfang took it and immediately took Gu Jiting into the dream. Then he opened the booklet and began to study it carefully.

"The so-called 'Daluo Cave Observation', as the name suggests, is a 'viewing technique' that uses one's own perception to observe the heaven and earth, taking everything in the eyes, engraving it in the heart, and comprehending it..." While he was studying, Gu Jiting also explained it on the side, coordinating with what he saw to help him comprehend.

"From various aspects, the realm displayed here has reached the pinnacle of 'observation'. Unless one transcends this world, there will be no further progress."

"But, as I said before, to reach this level, you must first achieve 'complete escape'. This is also the difficulty that I have never been able to overcome, but you are different..."

"You don't belong to this world, so you are born to be able to escape from it. Therefore, you don't need to worry about the many bottlenecks that plague ordinary people in the practice of Guanshu. What you need to do is to exercise your control and strive for the ultimate precision!"

"Control?"

Hearing this word, Youfang's gaze from flipping through the book suddenly stopped, then he looked up with a look of confusion.

The next second, Gu Jiting gave an explanation: "This so-called 'control' is to control your observation ability and try to develop it in the direction of 'micro', and also to control the angle from which you observe things and try to be as 'macro' as possible."

His explanation may seem contradictory, but it explains the core of the practice of "observation". The so-called "micro-observation" is about the detailed level of observation, while the "macro-observation" is about looking at the overall situation and not falling into a dead end because of paying attention to "micro-observation".

In this way, during the practice, the practitioner will constantly balance and pull between the two, and gradually be able to improve the control better and better, allowing both parties to move forward in their respective directions.

You Fang's advantage is that he doesn't have any bottlenecks that he might encounter. He just needs to constantly find a balance in the struggle, and his "observation technique" will improve rapidly!

"I see!"

After listening to Gu Jiting's explanation, Youfang immediately understood. His eyes lit up and he nodded.

In this case, I really need to exercise this "control power". Now I can only choose one between "micro" and "macro", and it is basically impossible to do both.

And then, he also saw the method of training this "control power" in the practice of "Daluo Dongguan". It is simple to say, it is actually to consciously observe and control, over and over again.

This is the only item in the entire practice that requires long-term development and accumulation, but it is also the solid foundation of the "art of observation". How one practices on it basically represents the level of the practitioner's "art of observation".

About two hours later, Youfang finally finished reading the entire booklet carefully, and Gu Jiting's corresponding explanations were all engraved in his mind, making him close his eyes.

Silently recalling all the contents, he began to comprehend, sorting out all his thoughts bit by bit in his mind, and disassembling the most ultimate "viewing technique" in the world.

Of course, it was impossible for him to fully comprehend "Daluo Dongguan" in just such a short while, but he did not need to fully comprehend it. He only needed to have a complete framework and preliminary understanding.

Each of his paintings, whether completed or unfinished, is not set in stone after completion. As his understanding of the corresponding works deepens, each of his paintings has the potential to go one step further!

At this moment……

Seeing Youfang entering into a state of enlightenment, Gu Jiting also smiled, his eyes fixed, and began to observe this boy.

For him, observing Youfang's practice, comprehension, and use of the "Guanshu" process is the best way to practice, which can enable him to make rapid progress!

Just like that, both of them entered a state of "enlightenment", where time seemed to stand still, and yet it seemed as if eternity had passed...

It was not until the flow of time in the dream slowed down many times and the ten minutes in the "Ruins of Time" were almost consumed that You Fang finally opened his eyes. He looked at Gu Jiting who was staring at him across from him, and a smile appeared on his face.

"almost……"

"Really? Congratulations then."

Without further words, the two smiled at each other and stood up at the same time.

And then, Youfang's eyes moved, and the dream disappeared, and the two returned to the "Ruins of Time" again, but... everything was different!

"Is there... movement here?"

The next moment after returning to the "Ruins of Time", Gu Jiting raised his head and observed this world sandwiched between reality and illusion, with a gleam in his eyes.

He discovered that this originally silent world suddenly began to move, and many things in it evolved, were born and died, as if they had come to life.

"Haha, it looks like you've really gotten started!"

Gu Jiting knew that this was because Youfang's "observation skills" had made great progress, and he was able to use what he saw to influence the "possibilities" in this world, which made the world move.

According to his speculation, if this kid can really cultivate the "observation technique" to the extreme in the future, he may be able to let this world evolve into countless "possibilities" on its own for him to observe. Even without the help of the power of the "turtle shell", he can deduce the future!

"It seems so."

This world was formed because of Youfang, so he could naturally feel the changes in it. He couldn't help but show surprise and felt a little unexpected.

But after thinking about it, he understood that the manifestation of the "Ruins of Time" was also related to the "Art of Observation". Since his "Art of Observation" had made considerable progress, the world would naturally be affected.

However, it is not suitable to stay here now. Since I have already had a deep understanding, it would be best to go back and draw it.

So...

"Time is almost up, so I'll leave first. See you tomorrow."

He said hello and goodbye to Gu Jiting, then left...

"hiss--"

As soon as he returned to reality, You Fang took a deep breath.

At this moment, although his body was tired and his soul power was exhausted, his eyes were exceptionally bright and a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.

Without any hesitation, he gently stroked the "Mountain and Sea Scroll" and summoned the "Cave Heaven", took out the backup Qi from it, and replenished the Qi in his body.

Then, he activated the "Three Stages of Reverse Life" to recover all the fatigue in his body. He then used the enlightenment in his heart to support his weak soul and started a new painting!

wow——

In an instant, the "Mountain and Sea Scroll" lit up, and a piece of drawing paper made of pure white energy floated in the air, rising and falling in front of him.

Afterwards, Youfang pulled out the "Demon Painting Brush", infused it with Qi and a drop of blood. Qi suddenly condensed at one end of the Demon Painting Brush, and blood and ink were flowing on it.

Immediately afterwards...

Swish!

Facing the drawing paper in front of him, You Fang began to paint with his brush, pouring all his insights into the tip of the brush. He had no control over his right hand, simply following his insights.

As the brush strokes moved quickly, a handsome and strange beast slowly took shape, and about ten minutes later, the painting was completed!

I saw that what was painted on the scroll was a beast: its head was like a dragon or a tiger, with flying hair, its body was like a lion, strong and powerful, it had two horns on its head, which were curved and flexible, and its four legs were in a flying state, as if riding on the clouds!

The moment he saw the strange beast, You Fang knew its identity. It was a mythical beast of good fortune in ancient Chinese legends, and its name was - "Bai Ze"!

Volume 100 of Yunji Qiqian quotes Xuanyuan Benji and says:

"The emperor went on a tour of the east coast and climbed Mount Huan. On the seashore, he found the divine beast Bai Ze. It could speak and understood the feelings of all things. He asked about the ghosts and gods in the world. Since ancient times, there have been 11,520 kinds of spirits and wandering souls. Bai Ze told him about it, and the emperor ordered a picture to be drawn to show the world."

What is described above is the supernatural ability possessed by Bai Ze. He can know everything about the world and understand the feelings of ghosts and gods. He can be said to be the "know-it-all" in the world of strange beasts and the "know-it-all" in the world!

Not only that, according to ancient rumors, the "Bai Ze" beast, as a auspicious beast, will not appear at will, but requires certain conditions.

Only when a person with "kingly virtue" appears in the world, it will appear beside him, assist him with its own abilities, and at the same time eliminate all evil spirits in the world!

Looking at the "Bai Ze" on the scroll, You Fang couldn't help but reveal a smile of surprise on his face. He had guessed it before he started painting, and now he saw that it was indeed this guy.

The reason why he was able to guess it was because, as far as he knew, among the strange beasts that had been passed down from ancient times to the present, those related to the way of "observation" were extremely rare. Apart from the "Bai Ze" that could understand the heavens and the earth, there was only the "Ding Ting" left.

However, compared to "Bai Ze", the ability of "Di Ting" is still limited. It can only "see" the world with hearing, which is still a step behind...

As such, You Fang couldn't help but feel extremely satisfied. Although he knew that with his current level of "observation technique", even with the help of Bai Ze's power, he couldn't really "know everything about heaven and earth", but simply enhancing his "observation technique" ability was no problem at all!

At this moment……
