"Um."

Miao Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

"Go out and have a look, it's inside the village."

Gu Zhengtang walked out with a smile, Miao Yue followed behind, with some sadness.

She didn't like this place very much. It felt really bad that she was ignored no matter what she did. There was no praise or criticism. This was something that the former pride of heaven was unbearable. She was unwilling to explore it carefully. She could not do anything except lose her cultivation. Perhaps there was this reason.

Gu Zhengtang was very interested. He could attract his attention when cooking and chopping wood. He did not care about entering the hall and walking around in other people's houses at will.

"Senior, what are you going to see?"

Miao Yue followed behind, gradually becoming a little reluctant, especially after seeing such a scene - Gu Zhengtang carefully watched a child hit maggots with a wooden stick.

"Haha, I miss it a little."

Gu Zhengtang seemed to think, "You have never experienced the life here, so there is no feeling. If this is a illusion created, then this place seems too real and ordinary. People who have experienced these lives personally will definitely not be able to describe it."

"Are these ordinary?"

Miao Yue said unconsciously, "It's not just me, I guess not many people in Shushan have experienced it."

"Shushan is of course different. In fact, most fairy worlds are similar. Those who can experience these are often small worlds in the outer realm, or..." Gu Zhengtang paused, "The Xuanhuang Realm, these scenes are very similar to the Xuanhuang Realm."

"Xuanhuang Realm?"

Miao Yue was slightly shocked, "Is it because this is Xuanyuan? The way of heaven is Xuanyuan?"

Gu Zhengtang smiled and shook his head, "Haha, I felt this way as soon as I woke up, but it's not hard to say it. We have no evidence to prove this, so it's best not to say it out loud. Heaven may still look at us, don't anger him, at least don't now."

Miao Yue couldn't laugh and sighed, "It would be great if it was still a quasi-saint, you could see the situation in this world at a glance, whether it was a reality or an illusion."

"I'll know sooner or later."

Gu Zhengtang passed through a door and entered another room. There were no adults inside, only a ragged child. He was studying and his voice was loud, but strangely, he didn't hear it at all outside.

Miao Yue also felt a little weird, "I seem to have never seen this kid before."

Gu Zhengtang seemed to be thinking, "Not once?"

Miao Yue thought about it carefully, "No, I have recorded all the people here. As long as you have seen anyone who goes out, you may have never left the house."

Gu Zhengtang nodded, "Well, let's hear what he is reading first."

"...The meaning of Tao, three thousand words, is immortal, and it is endless, and it is told endlessly..."

Miao Yue listened for a while and was very confused. After all, she rarely dabbled in other avenues except swordsmanship. "It seems to be a very simple Taoist book, but there is no method of practice. I have never heard of it, and I can't feel the truth in it. What about senior?"

Gu Zhengtang suddenly walked up and hit him hard.

The child did not dodge, and was knocked over and fell out, his body pressed against the wall, and slowly slid down.

Miao Yue was stunned, "Senior, what are you doing?"

Gu Zhengtang looked at him and shook his head. He didn't say anything. The sound of studying in the room did not stop. The child's body was almost upside down, but his mouth was still open and closed, without any impact. "...The heaven and earth carry me, the sun and the moon shine on me..."

Gu Zhengtang stopped moving and stood there listening to the children chanting scriptures.

After about an hour, Gu Zhengtang waved his hand and the two walked out together.

As soon as I got outside the house, I could no longer hear the sound of reading, but a few evil dogs came over and barked at the two of them.

"Go away!"

Miao Yue scolded, then realized something and exclaimed, "Senior, they have seen us!"

Even though it was just a dog, it was the first time that someone outside Gu Zhengtang noticed her, which made her both surprised and happy.

She didn't care about driving the dog anymore, "Senior, there has been a change. Is it possible for us to get out of here?"

"Not necessarily, it may be that we will be buried here forever."

Gu Zhengtang pointed not far away, and several villagers were rushing over, holding hoes and poles in their hands, with fierce expressions and shouting words like killing. Behind them there was a large group of people, not only male villagers, but also many female villagers holding laundry mallets, who were also angry and fierce.

"Is it because the senior moved that child?"

Miao Yue took a look and didn't feel scared. Maybe she was more afraid of being ignored, or maybe she forgot that she had lost her cultivation.

"No, maybe it's because of that Taoist book."

Gu Zhengtang shook his head and said loudly, "Stop talking about this, let's go in quickly."

Miao Yue realized the danger and followed behind and retreated into the cottage. She looked at the thin door and the wall that could fall down by the wind. She smiled unconsciously, "It seems that it won't be blocked here for long. Senior, I'll go out to see if I can lead them away."

Just as he was about to push the door, Gu Zhengtang shook his head, "No, listen."

"What do you listen to?"

Miao Yue was stunned, "Only the sound of studying can't be heard from others."

"The dog barking, and the sound of killing the villagers were gone," Gu Zhengtang said slowly, "There are probably two different spaces here and outside. Whether it is a secret realm or something else, but there should be no danger in us inside."

"I see."

Miao Yue suddenly realized, "This way of heaven requires us to learn this Taoist book."

"Um."

Gu Zhengtang nodded, "This Taoist book looks simple, but it mostly contains the great way. It just does not have specific methods of cultivation, that is, it depends entirely on insight to understand it. This is very difficult."

Miao Yue seemed to be thinking, "Senior, do you have to follow the request of the Heavenly Dao?"

"No, but now we have no other choice," Gu Zhengtang said slowly. "If we don't learn Taoism, we can't live without this place. I'm reckless. Before I could see the whole village clearly, I discovered this place. Maybe other roads are elsewhere."

"It may not be necessary whether there is any other way."

Miao Yue said in a gentle voice, "Since there is only this path, let's learn it. But the younger generation has never been thinking about the great road outside the kendo. Most of them cannot learn it well, and may not be able to get out for a long time. If the senior learns it first, don't worry about me, and find a way to restore cultivation first."

Gu Zhengtang smiled unconsciously and said, "Haha, people choose the great way, and the great way also choose the great way. I am even more unbearable to the great way than you. I have never touched any great way so far. What I practice is the laws, and it is not certain who can learn it first."

"Ah, we can't even get out, right?"

Miao Yue was stunned for a moment, quite worried. The book was only 3,000 words, and she listened it several times, but she had no idea.

Gu Zhengtang paused, "It shouldn't be enough, don't think about it, concentrate on understanding."

Miao Yue nodded and stopped talking. The two began to realize a path that they had never seen before as the sound of the child's reading.
