Four hours later, inside the wooden house.

Yang Wanli had already returned from the investigation, but he could not immediately report the news to Wu Liang because Wu Liang was still in a state of meditation.

The other backbones of the Hu army were all standing aside. Although everyone had already yawned profusely and their faces were full of fatigue, no one took a break and just waited for Wu Liang silently. Even Yang Wanli made a little noise when he came back just now.

He was dragged out by everyone to complain about his voice.

It was already dark now.

An oil lamp was lit in the house, Yang Wanli winked at Yu Ji, and then the two of them came outside the house quietly.

After closing the door and walking more than ten meters away, Yang Wanli finally breathed with relief, but asked with some worry: "Old boy, why did it take so long for the young master to enter samadhi this time? Could there be something wrong?

Bar?"

"Although I know what it means to enter samadhi, I have only experienced it once. How can I explain it clearly?"

Yu Ji looked back at the wooden house and said, "But logically speaking, entering samadhi is a good thing. It is the only way to understand a Taoism. I think that the young master may be experiencing something you and I imagined when he entered samadhi this time."

This is a huge opportunity that I didn’t get, so it took so long, so don’t talk nonsense.”

Yang Wanli nodded and said thoughtfully: "According to what you said, the last time the young master realized the 'Art of Disgusting Impeachment', he only entered trance for two hours, but this time he has been in trance for four hours, and he has not awakened at all until now.

There are signs, so this time the young master is afraid that he will directly attain enlightenment and become an immortal?"

"Tao fruit is completely different from Taoism. Taoism can be achieved overnight by relying on talent and understanding, but Tao fruit must require a slow process of pursuit. It is what people often call cultivation. There is no shortcut."

After rolling his eyes at Yang Wanli, Yu Ji said teasingly out of habit, "You are really a common man who doesn't understand anything."

"You old boy just talks, why are you belittling me for no reason? You understand, don't you understand that you have accomplished nothing after more than ninety years of cultivation? You still have the nerve to laugh at me, you really don't know what to say."

Yang Wanli was unwilling at that time and retorted with glaring eyes.

"You uneducated common man...I don't bother to argue with you. It's just like a chicken talking to a duck!"

After being stripped, Yu Ji was so angry that his beard puffed up, and he walked away on the spot.

"Hey, I'm too lazy to argue with you!"

Yang Wanli still refused to be outdone and said to Yu Ji's back.

These two people are like this. Whether they are talking about serious matters or casual chats, they can only say a few words in a good mood at most, and they will start to criticize each other any more. They are a living pair.

However, this does not affect the fateful friendship between the two.

If someone really gets into trouble, the other person will never ignore it, even Yu Ji, who is usually greedy for life and afraid of death. When Yang Wanli was in trouble in Le'an Kingdom, Yu Ji took the initiative to apply to go into dangerous situations with Wu Liang for rescue.

Just at this time.

"Colonel Yang."

A soldier of the Hu army ran back from outside the village. When he saw Yang Wanli, he ran straight over. After giving him a military salute, he reported, "Our secret sentry sent back news that the witch who was traveling with our army was just found alone.

Went to the Yin side of Yuzhou Mountain."

"That miko?"

Yang Wanli was stunned, frowned and said, "What was that witch doing in the back mountain in the middle of the night? Could it be related to the thousand-year-old cypress tree that the young master taught us to find?"

Previously, Wu Liang only taught Yang Wanli to lead people to find a thousand-year-old cypress tree, but did not tell him about Lu Dai's tomb.

As a result, Yang Wanli led his men to search on the dark side of Yuzhou Mountain for several hours, but never found the cypress tree. Finally, when it got dark, he had to order a temporary halt to the search and ordered the soldiers of the Hu army to place several hidden sentries in the mountain.

Guard this area, and then run back to ask Wu Liang for instructions whether to light a torch with great fanfare at night and continue searching.

This time I came back and found that Wu Liang had already entered meditation, so I had no choice but to wait inside the village...

After pondering like this for a moment, Yang Wanli knew that there was no way to ask Wu Liang for instructions now, so he took matters into his own hands and said: "Don't alarm the snake for the time being, teach our people to follow the witch secretly, and find out where she went and what she did.

, in short, no matter how small it is, even if she relieves herself, she will record it and repay me."

"promise."

The soldier responded and ran non-stop towards the dark side of Yuzhou Mountain.

…

When Yang Wanli returned to the wooden house, he found that Wu Liang had woken up.

The backbone of the Hu army gathered around him and asked him about his welfare, especially the old boy Yu Ji, who stared eagerly in front of Wu Liang and asked Wu Liang what he had experienced and what he had gained during the process of Ruding.

Everyone was also curious, but not as eager as Yu Ji. In the end, Dian Wei was forced to grab Yu Ji's back collar like a chicken and lift him aside, which made Wu Liang breathe a little easier.

"I saw my own temple of the five internal organs."

Wu Liang did not show off, and quickly satisfied everyone's curiosity, "The Temple of the Five Internal Organs is dozens of feet high, and the five gods of the heart, lungs, liver, spleen, and kidneys are enshrined in the temple. They are all equally tall.

Like a giant supporting heaven and earth.”

However, what Wu Liang said is only the appearance seen in the eyes, and the real gain is the feeling in the heart.

Five gods are stored in the five internal organs: the heart stores the spirit, the lungs store the soul, the liver stores the soul, the spleen stores the mind, and the kidneys store the will.

These five gods together form a person's spirit. The more powerful and full the energy of the five gods is, the stronger a person's spiritual power will be. The strongest can even reach the state of "reaching the sky and integrating the Tao", which is the so-called

"Real person".

At the same time, Wu Liang also understood something that had been bothering him for a long time:

The Qi of the Five Gods is also the foundation of Taoism. As the saying goes, "To increase the five Qi, the mind can get one, and there is a way to do it." The "one" here is "Tao". Only by consciously practicing and cultivating the Qi of the Five Gods, can the Qi of the Five Gods be cultivated.

Only then can you attain Tao, and only then can you master and use Tao techniques.

That is to say.

In the past, Wu Liang's "Water Control Technique" was sometimes ineffective not because he was not proficient in this Taoist technique, but because he did not have enough energy of the Five Gods in his body.

Just like the magic value in later games, no matter how powerful the magic is, it will definitely not be cast without the magic value.

If you cultivate enough Qi of the Five Gods through practice, the "Water Control Technique" will no longer be a problem.

It's a pity that the Qi of the Five Gods is something that ordinary people can't see or touch, so studying how to cultivate and cultivate it can only be nonsense. But for some people who are extremely talented and are cared about by God, that is another matter.

It's the same thing.

And this time the fugue.

This allowed Wu Liang to clearly feel the energy of the five gods and realize the essence of the "Seven Techniques of Yin Fu in this Classic".

It turns out that Mr. Guigu left a blind eye in the "Seven Techniques of Yinfu". Although this book is called "Seven Techniques", it actually only has "Five Techniques", which are methods of cultivating the Qi of the Five Gods respectively.

Moreover, it is impossible to teach these methods by words and deeds. Only those who truly feel the energy of the five gods can realize the Tao.

Therefore, even if Wu Liang explains what he has learned to the backbone of the Hu army, there is absolutely no way to teach them to understand the essence. Even some of the things cannot be described in words at all, which is the kind of understanding.

Naturally understand, those who don’t understand will never understand the category.

There is another question, which is also the question that Yu Ji is most concerned about.

Wu Liang is now very sure that feeling the energy of the five gods means seeing the "Tao", and mastering the means of cultivating the energy of the five gods means embarking on the road of "seeking the Tao".

But how far he can go is still unknown.

Because there are so many and complex factors that affect this path. It requires cultivating the mind, cultivating virtue, guarding the mind, and having equanimity and tolerance... In short, there are so many factors that it is outrageous. It is definitely an extremely difficult ascetic path.

This is why most of the saints in history have the experience of living in seclusion in the mountains, because only in that kind of place can they ensure that they avoid the influence of people and things in the world as much as possible. As the saying goes, "People are in the world."

"You can't help yourself." Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and no one can be alone.

And Wu Liang is also self-aware.

He is destined not to become a saint, let alone a real person.

It's not because he is a person who can't stand loneliness.

But because his virtue is not above the standard in the first place, there is no need for others to evaluate him.

Secondly, he will never be able to be "compassionate and tolerant". It is impossible for him to push away Fairy Zixia for the sake of righteousness like Zhizunbao. In his heart, his ego will always come first.

Therefore, Wu Liangzhong doesn't know exactly how far he can go. In short, he will definitely not reach the level of Sage Kong or Mr. Guigu. Even if he survives, he will become a truly extraordinary person.

And these things that have been understood.

Wu Liang did not intend to tell the truth to Yu Ji. It was just a white lie. If Yu Ji knew that he had already taken a step ahead and embarked on the road of "seeking the Tao", and that this road might be destined to be out of reach for him, this person who had lived for nine years would

The ten-year-old man is afraid that he will not only be envious and jealous, but his faith and persistence may collapse.

For Yu Ji, who is also in his final years, losing faith and persistence is tantamount to losing the motivation to live.

"Then what?"

Yu Ji immediately came up and asked eagerly.

"Then I came into contact with the Qi of the Five Gods and understood the root of the Qi of the Five Gods. What is contained in the "Seven Techniques of the Yin Fu of this Classic" is exactly the method to increase the Qi of the Five Gods."

Wu Liang said generally, "It's a pity that these methods cannot be taught by words and deeds. You must understand the true meaning by yourself."

"Young Master is really talented. I wish I had Young Master Shiyi..."

Yu Ji also understood that these Taoist secrets could not be learned just by wanting to learn them, so he did not continue to ask, but said with envy, "The energy of the five gods is closely related to emotions. Now the young master has mastered the method to enhance the energy of the five gods."

The methods and techniques will probably be improved to a higher level."

"Congratulations, gentleman."
