Zhou Shaobai never expected that the senior brother whom he had always disliked would say such words with all his heart.

The eldest brother seemed to see through his thoughts and smiled: "It's nothing, success, success, defeat, bandit. Since I have lost, why struggle again? You don't need to make any changes to me. If I still have the power now, I will continue to bully you until I drive you away, so that I can't feel at ease."

Seeing such a righteous evil person, Zhou Shaobai didn't know what to say. He was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Senior Brother, please do your own thing."

The eldest brother waved his hand: "I have said so many truths that I haven't told for a long time, so I feel so happy. Go, I will continue to copy scriptures."

So Zhou Shaobai left the cave and returned to Yuping Peak carefully from the original path. He still slept in the wing room with his senior brothers that night. However, many things happened in the past two days, which made him feel confused. Qin Ziling's smile appeared in his mind, the faces of his master and the head, and the look of his elder brother dejectedly copying scriptures. He stared at the treetops outside the window and had never closed his eyes.

At dawn, everyone got up to do morning class. Zhou Shaobai was washing up. Someone came over there: "Junior brother, Master is looking for you, come over quickly."

Zhou Shaobai quickly wiped away the water stains on his face and went to the master's room in the back room.

When he entered the room, he saw Taoist Chengyu sitting upright with a serious expression.

Zhou Shaobai stepped forward to pay tribute, and felt a little uneasy.

Chengyu said, "Shaobai, please ask you, how long has it been since you came to Yuping Peak in Xiyun Mountain?"

Zhou Shaobai thought for a while and said, "Go back to Master, it's been eight years and fifty-six days."

"Eight years are not short. What have you practiced in the past eight years?" Chengyu asked.

"When I go back to Master, my disciple is stupid. In the past eight years, I have practiced the basic introductory exercises of this sect." Zhou Shaobai said honestly.

Chengyu nodded: "I have practiced the basic introductory exercises for eight years without anxiety. This kind of mind is rare and valuable."

He pondered for a moment and said, "Shaobai, you also know that something has happened in the sect now, and there may be major changes in the future. Being a master needs a good helper, but your senior brother is very incompetent, which disappoints the master. So, can you help him with the help of him?"

His eyes were like lightning, and he looked directly at Zhou Shaobai's eyes.

Zhou Shaobai's heart was beating, and he thought to himself that fortunately, the elder brother told me some last night, otherwise he would have been unprepared and would probably not know what to do.

He remembered what he said to Qin Ziling, "In the past two years, I will practice hard and learn all my skills so that I can go down the mountain to protect you and make no one in this world dare to bully you." He immediately became more courageous and calmed down.

"Go back to Master, I will never refuse!"

Chengyu smiled and said, "Okay! OK! Come with me!"

——————————————————————————————

Zhou Shaobai followed Chengyu to a bamboo sea behind the mountain. There was an open space in the center of the bamboo sea. There was a white stone platform in the open space, but it turned out that it was paved with white stone.

Zhou Shaobai had heard of it for a long time that this is the exclusive place for Master to practice. Except for the need for cleaning, Master never allows anyone to set foot here.

"Shaobai, from today on, I will teach you the best skills of your sect." Chengyu walked to the center of the stone platform, turned around and said seriously to Zhou Shaobai.

Zhou Shaobai quickly bowed his head and bowed: "Disciples should practice diligently and live up to the master's high expectations!"

"Shaobai, it's very good to have this mind. The path to practicing Taoism is extremely difficult and dangerous. Only you know the hard work. After the test of life and death, you can finally win the favor of heaven and achieve great success, but there is no one in thousands. You must remember that no matter how difficult or obstacles you encounter in the future, you must remember what your teacher said to you at this time and here." Chengyu spoke with a loud voice.

Zhou Shaobai paused: "I remember it in my heart and will never forget it."

"Okay. Shaobai, my Xiyunmen has been in the founding of the Xiyun School, and has suffered all kinds of disasters. Only then can we have today's branches and leaves flourishing. For more than a thousand years, I don't know how many extremely talented ancestors have imagined to cultivate the right path like the ancestor, but they end up being devilish and perishing themselves. Remember, to practice Taoism, you must first cultivate your mind, and be upright in order to cultivate the right path." Chengyu looked awe-inspiring.

"Disciple understands, cultivates the mind, and then practices Taoism."

"Very good. Shaobai, I am the 82nd generation descendant of the Yuping Peak lineage of Xiyunmen. From today on, I will teach you all my life's learning to you. First, I will pass on your "Jade Cervical Sutra" to you."

Zhou Shaobai was shocked: "The Jade Chopstick? Master, aren't you joking?"

It turns out that those who practice Taoism in Xiyun Temple must start practicing from the "Ten Essences of Taoism". The first stage is called foundation building, which mainly focuses on meditation and breathing, and practice qi and essence. After a slight success, you can study the "Golden Tripod Art". At this stage, you use the body as a furnace to practice the inner alchemy. The skill is further than the foundation-building period. This stage is called a cauldron; after the cauldron period is completed, you need to study the "Jade Cervical Sutra" to discharge the dirty body and condition it to the most ideal state. This stage is called a body-saving. After the body-saving is over, the body and mind of the Taoist practitioners can prepare for the next more difficult level of cultivation.

The first level of foundation building, cauldron and body-saving three levels are collectively called Guiren. Only if Guiren is practiced can he enter the next level. There are nine levels of practice in Xiyunshan. Guiren, who starts from the first level, reaches Pingyang in the second level, and the third level of concentration in the concentration of the spirit, and at this time, the first Dao catastrophe is called chaotic death. At this time, the Taoist practitioners are easily destined to be devils and die miserably. Their condition is very miserable, so it is called chaotic death. If you have the chance to pass this catastrophe, you will enter the fourth level of Kaitian. At this time, the Taoist practitioners have a slight state of martial arts, and step on the sword and fly into the air. After the opening of the sky, the fifth level of Zhunming is the fifth level, and then the sixth level is the sixth level of Jianshi.

The slightest part is the seventh-level Siming, and Siming happened to be a great disaster. There are only a few Taoists who have been able to practice Siming safely for Xiyunguan for thousands of years. Most of the leaders stayed at this level for their entire lives and had no progress. After Siming, they were shocking every step, and were extremely dangerous. If they were not careful, they would lose all their lives. If they could reach the eighth-level dragon, it would be considered an achievement that shook the past and the present. The thousand-year classics of Xiyunguan recorded that there were only two Taoists who reached the eighth-level dragon for thousands of years. As for the ninth-level heavenly beings, the only one who could achieve the unity of man and heaven and heaven ascend to the sky was the only one who had been the founding ancestor Xiyun Zhenren who had reached this level.

Each of these nine levels contains at least three or four levels of difficult and dangerous cultivation. How difficult the path to cultivation is! The Taoists in Xiyun Mountain are like a nine-story pagoda because these nine levels of cultivation are like a nine-story pagoda, and they vividly call the Taoist practice of their own sect a tower building, and call the class they are practicing as several towers. For example, Taoist Chengyu is now practicing the sixth level of cultivation, so they call themselves the Sixth Tower of Yuping Peak to their fellow disciples.

In addition to mutual names, Taoist whisks also carry the role of marking the level of cultivation. For example, only after the cultivation level reaches the Kaitian, that is, the Taoist priest in the fifth level of the candle life stage can take the whisk. The material of the whisk is a ponytail. The material of the whisk is a ponytail. The material of the whisk is a cal tail for the Taoist priest who reaches the sixth level of humility is a cal tail, the material of the Taoist priest who reaches the seventh level of the mission is a deer tail, and the material of the whisk held by Taoist priest who reaches the eighth level of the dragon is a tiger tail, and the material of the ninth level of Xiyun Zhenren. It is said that his whisk is made of dragon whiskers.

As for the Taoist swords, the color of the sword hilt is unified, indicating which lineage of Xiyun Mountain belongs to the Taoist practitioners. The red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, white gold corresponds to the nine lineages of Xiyun Mountain, which is not reflected here.

In short, Xiyunshan’s practice must be progressive step by step, otherwise it is very easy to get possessed. Although Zhou Shaobai only practiced the basic introductory exercises, he also heard about it. So when he heard Chengyu actually asked him to skip the "Golden Cauldron" and directly practice the "Jade Chronicle Sutra", he was inevitably surprised.

Chengyu shook his head: "Of course, my teacher is not joking. I told you not to study the "Golden Cauldron Art" but to directly practice the "Jade Cedar Sutra". Naturally, there is a principle for a master. You just need to eliminate distracting thoughts and practice for three or four hours a day, without paying attention to it!"

Since the master said this, Zhou Shaobai could only have no objection, so the master and apprentice began to practice in the green sea of ​​bamboo.

Zhou Shaobai sat cross-legged with Cheng Yu, his eyes half open and half closed. The breeze rolled up the bamboo leaves and blew on his face but he was completely unaware of it, and he was fully focused on the blood circulation of his body.

Chengyu's voice came from his ears: "Five Nethers are facing the sky, and the energy of picking the sky comes from the sky, observe the mind, brighten the eyes, upright body, restrain the soul, guard the spirit, and integrate the energy..."

Zhou Shaobai calmed down and rested according to his luck. After a moment, he felt his body slightly hot and the spiritual platform was chaotic, as if a furnace was slowly ignited in his body. He was suspicious: "The Jade Cedony Sutra" is not the "Golden Cauldron", but why does he feel like he is a furnace?
