Chapter Thirty-Eight: Opening the Mountain

"It must be Han Shu."

A misty voice came from not far away. Han Shu placed the basket filled with vegetables and fruits in front of the cabin, and then followed the direction of the sound and found Zhao Yu.

At this time, Zhao Yu was located tens of meters deep underground - where the cliff originally protruded from the ground, there was a huge pit.

This is Zhao Yu's contribution for one or two hours in the morning.

Han Shu stood stupidly at the edge of the pit. Suddenly, a huge ball of sand flew up from the bottom of the pit, passed over his head, and landed behind him. He mechanically turned his head to look, and then Zhao Yu stepped up from the bottom of the pit and stood beside him.

Seventeen or eight pieces of jade, large and small, fell to the side. Zhao Yu clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Here they come."

"First...sir..."

Zhao Yu shook his head and smiled: "Don't think too much, I am neither a monster nor a god."

Then he said: "Let's go to the hut."

Two figures, one large and one small, followed by seventeen or eight jade stones floating on the ground next to them, arrived at the wooden house. Only then did Zhao Yu see the basket on his back, and the basket full of vegetables and fruits.

For the next hour, Han Shu spent the next hour in a state of confusion, doing whatever Zhao Yu asked him to do.

No matter what the reason was for Han Shu to come to the mountain at this hour, Zhao Yu would naturally have to fulfill his promise.

This child's physical aptitude is better than that of ordinary people, but not to the level of a genius. Zhao Yu taught him the Marrow Cleansing Sutra, which shook the Taoist rhyme with his magical power, and each word was imprinted in his heart. Then explain it to him word for word.

Han Shu passively accepted it, like a sponge, absorbing the mystery of the Marrow Cleansing Sutra.

Compared with the Five Elements Boxing Sutra, the Marrow Cleansing Sutra created by Zhao Yu has a much higher starting point, but it reaches the same goal by different paths. When practiced to perfection, it is difficult to distinguish between high and low.

The Five Elements Boxing Meridian goes from the outside to the inside, with a low starting point, while the Marrow Cleansing Meridian starts directly from the Marrow Cleansing, from the inside to the outside, with a high starting point.

Zhao Yu also saw that this child was interesting, so he taught him the Marrow Cleansing Sutra. If it were another person, he might not have such thoughts. Even if he had the intention, he might not teach the Marrow Cleansing Sutra. He might choose the Five Elements Boxing Sutra and let it go.

Getting started with the Marrow Cleansing Sutra is more difficult and requires Zhao Yu more time to teach.

An hour later, Zhao Yu stopped and said to the confused Han Shu: "This technique is called the Marrow Cleansing Sutra. It works from the inside out to strengthen the bravery inside and the power outside, making you full of energy and sharp. If you can Once you practice to a certain level, it will be easier to read and understand, and even thousands of troops can't stop you. However, it consumes a lot of money, and it is extremely difficult to get started. You must be prepared to take supplements. After you go back, you can explain to your parents and elders, You must eat at least three meals a day, and meat must be included in each meal. For the next half month, you come up to the mountain every morning at Chen time, and I will answer your questions."

Human beings have essence, energy, and spirit. God is the leader of the body. Essence is the foundation of the body. Qi is the connection between spirit and essence. If the essence is strong, the energy will be strong, and if the energy is strong, the spirit will be full. People who are physically strong and energetic tend to be mentally sharper.

Therefore, no matter where you start in cultivation, the more you practice, the sharper and smarter you become, instead of becoming a fool. As for mortals who are physically stronger, they are not necessarily smarter or even dumber than those who are weak, and that has nothing to do with cultivation. Because he didn't practice. He did not control his energy and spirit. Therefore, it is impossible to replenish the spirit with essence. In practice, foundation building is such a process.

Han Shu probably woke up from a dream at this time. He didn't say much, just prostrated himself on the ground, knelt down and kowtowed.

Zhao Yu did not stop him and asked him to pay his respects as a teacher.

Although he didn't say that he was accepted as a disciple, he was actually a master and a disciple. As a registered disciple, he could withstand his kneeling and kowtowing three times.

For Han Shu, the most wonderful thing in the world is meeting Zhao Yu.

What kind of person is this?

A cliff disappeared overnight. The ground was covered with fine sand and huge potholes... It was like being in a world of gods and gods. And he actually had such an opportunity. On the way down the mountain, Han Shu suddenly became excited.

In the following days, Han Shu went up the mountain on time every morning at Chen time. Zhao Yu solved his doubts, not just in cultivation. Cultivation is a principle, so while solving doubts, I was also teaching him the principles. Completing a skill cannot be achieved simply by understanding it. I am not the so-called protagonist in a novel. I get a book of exercises and read it, oh, I know it. That's all bullshit.

This is a vast system and you must start from the basics. Don’t know anything and want to practice? court death.

That is to say, Zhao Yu has stepped into the threshold of immortality and can use some methods beyond imagination. If he is just an ordinary person, the time it takes to teach the basics of this system to his disciples has to be calculated in years.

During this period, Zhao Yu had already hollowed out a huge hole in the mountain.

It's at least a thousand meters deep, and it's still expanding in the direction of the veins.

Zhao Yu never concealed anything from Han Shu, and Han Shu even saw it with his own eyes many times. I saw Zhao Yu punching a huge hole, and I saw Zhao Yu using his magic power to throw the gravel that hollowed out the jade out of the mine.

All this is buried in Han Shu's heart.

He is a very mature child. Although he told his parents and elders about Zhao Yu, he did not mention Zhao Yu's immortal methods. It just means that when you meet a wise man, you should learn from him.

Ten days passed by in a flash.

On this day, Zhao Yu was digging deep into the mountain to mine jade. The mine pit diagonally downwards stretched for unknown miles. There is no light underground, but it cannot block Zhao Yu's vision. In his eyes, everything was so clear. It doesn't even require the slightest use of mana.

The foundation of Taoism has long been perfected, and the physical body has entered the transformation stage, showing many miracles. For example, shrinking into an inch does not require any magic power, but is an instinct of the body. In fact, this has gradually touched upon the principle of physical supernatural power.

It is the spirituality nurtured in the acupoints that gradually begins to dominate the manifestation of the physical body.

And this kind of dominance is not passive, it has always been under the control of Zhao Yu's soul.

The first step in spiritual practice is to perfectly control oneself. You must first understand yourself before you are qualified to touch the most profound truth between heaven and earth. If you don't even understand it yourself, but go straight to the truth of heaven and earth, you are like a castle in the air, empty and without foundation.

Every step of breakthrough in practice can only be achieved after a complete understanding of a certain level of truth. There is no possibility of breaking through the realm of Taoism in a daze.

Just like mathematics, you must first understand the four operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division before you can step into a higher level of academic level. It is impossible to directly break through to calculus on the premise of being able to count to a hundred.

Therefore, as in the legend, it is completely nonsense to break through the realm by taking a few elixirs from Haisai.

That is courting death.

No matter whether it is a magical medicine or a magical elixir, it is all strength that increases. And power needs to be supported by principles in order to be perfectly mastered. Power that cannot be mastered is self-destruction.

Just like Zhao Yu now, for example, if he gets an elixir and eats it, he will have unlimited magical power, but the end result can only be that his soul is destroyed by the magical power and becomes a puppet of the magical power. Only on the premise that the Taoist conduct is higher than the mana power, can elixirs and elixirs be used to replenish the mana power, but it must not be done on the premise that the Taoist conduct does not exceed the mana power.

This principle is vaguely reflected even in myths and legends. Those gods have been cultivating for countless years and their magic power cannot be improved, but how many of them take pills? How many disciples have tasted the legendary Nine Transformations Golden Pill of the Supreme Master?

Monkey Sun takes so many pills, but he is just a protector of Buddhism. Can he become Buddha?

cannot.

Monkey Sun is extremely talented and physically strong, able to withstand the impact of the elixir. But that's about it. He is far from reason.

There is no such thing as an innocent heart. An innocent heart is not pure, nor is it stupid. Confucius said that knowing the destiny and following the heart's desires without exceeding the rules is the heart of a pure child. Every action is based on the truth. Once you understand the truth, you can feel like a fish in the water. This is the heart of an innocent person.

There are no shortcuts to anything, especially spiritual practice. It needs to be done step by step, based on the basics.

If the foundation of a house is not laid properly, the house will collapse at best. But for a system that is related to its own fundamentals, if the foundation is not laid properly, it will be a dead end.

At this point, the Daozongzong is much more rigorous than the outsiders.

For example, with outsider technology, he can conduct and withstand countless failed experiments. But Daoxing's breakthrough cannot tolerate even one failure. At worst, the road may be cut off, but at worst, the soul may be scattered.

In fact, cultivation also relies on outsiders, such as refining weapons, elixirs, or talismans. It can also be said to be an orthodox sideline heretic. In the process of refining weapons and alchemy and making talismans, experiment your own principles. If it succeeds, it shows that the truth is valid, and only then can it be applied to oneself. If you fail, sorry, try again. From this point of view, it shows that practice is not inflexible.

Not much gossip.

Zhao Yu knows everything about him. The growth of mana bit by bit, the slow growth of acupoints, the gestation of spirituality, and the transformation of the physical body in the process of the growth of mana and acupoints, all are not out of his control.

He knows how far he has to practice before he can make a breakthrough, and when he should make a breakthrough.

He knows where his doubts lie and works towards what he needs to know.

At this stage, Zhao Yu's moral conduct is higher than his cultivation. Although the Tianyan Mirror illusion was real and fake, it was a real test for Zhao Yu. This is the most valuable gift given to him by Master Hun Kong and Ancestor.

A ball of fine sand, each grain of the same size, and several pieces of jade with different shapes flew out, and Zhao Yu threw his sleeves aside and put them aside.

At this moment, a faint voice came from outside the pit!

"Teacher! Teacher!"

Zhao Yu raised his head and heard a hint of panic in the voice.

At the moment, he was strolling around the courtyard, shrinking to an inch. The holes and cliffs were not an obstacle, and he was walking as if he were on flat ground.

"Little Han Shu?"

After just a few steps, Zhao Yu could already see the sun.

A figure loomed at the entrance of the cave, standing halfway up and looking down into the pit.

Then Zhao Yu jumped out.

"teacher!"

Han Shu knelt on the ground with a thud: "Please teacher, save my parents, save my relatives!"

"Um?"

Zhao Yu frowned and turned to look down the mountain.

Then without saying a word: "Follow me."

In an instant, he was heading down the mountain.
