Zhang Yu received the letter from Tao Dingfu three days later. There were no greetings in the letter, but it mentioned the method of the three elements and reminded him that Master Bai Xiu had probably cultivated "
"The inside and outside are transparent" and asked him to be careful about this battle.
This was the first time he had heard of such a method. Judging from the contents of the letter, the so-called "internal and external clarity" actually means "the mind of one's own way has been determined, and the way of seeking outside has become clear."
To put it simply, it means that a Taoist practitioner understands and determines the path he should take, so that he can gain access to both the inside and outside, the spirit and energy blend, and all paths are clear.
This seems easy, but it is extremely difficult to do.
Because the path of seeking Taoism is extremely bumpy. No one knows what they will encounter in the future, let alone what choices they will make. If they find any obstacles on the path of cultivation, they will try to find other ways to avoid it.
.
And once you have set your own path, you will never change it. No matter how difficult it is, you must follow it, otherwise it will be difficult to make any progress in the future.
According to the statement in Taodingfu's letter, a person who obtains this one element will not necessarily have an increase in his or her magical power, but the movement of his magical power, energy, and will will be extremely smooth and firm.
If two monks with similar Taoist practices are fighting, it depends on who can seize the opportunity better and who makes fewer mistakes. If there is no hindrance in the operation of magic power, he will obviously have the advantage.
After Zhang Yu read it, he put the letter down.
This letter came in time and was of great help to him. If he knew it in advance, he could be prepared in advance instead of having to think of ways to deal with it during the battle.
Although Master Baixiu may have mastered "internal and external transparency", he is not too worried, because if Master Baixiu thought that his strength was enough to overwhelm him, he would not wait for a long time before issuing a challenge. It can be seen that
Even if this method improves the combat ability, it is not too big.
But at this moment, he felt vaguely that this approach seemed to be helpful to him.
The cultivation methods of Xuan Xiu are very different from those of real cultivation, but they are very similar in some places. In particular, the technique of combining three elements is not a divine channel technique or a Kung Fu method. It is just a pure practice. This is
It's like polishing a rough stone into a flawless jade, it's just a process of self-perfection.
He thought for a while. No matter what, he didn't need to think so much now, but he just had to do what he could do in advance.
Now that there were still fifteen days left before the battle, he came down to put aside foreign affairs and reconcile, but some things still needed to be arranged in advance.
He said to the monks waiting outside: "Call in Fellow Daoist Wen and Fellow Daoist Shi."
After a while, Wen Liang and Shi Yue walked in together and said politely, "I have met Xuan Zheng."
Zhang Yudao: "I will go to Master Baixiu's appointment next month. I need to practice in seclusion for the next few days in order to cope with this battle. I will leave the external affairs to you two to take care of temporarily. Some details can be dealt with as usual.
If there is any unusual news from fellow Taoist Ming, you two need to respond promptly."
Shi Yue and Wen Liang both said solemnly: "We have written it down."
Zhang Yu explained it again and let the two of them go.
He expected that even if those people behind the scenes made some moves, they would not jump out at this time. They would probably wait silently to see the outcome of this battle.
After sitting for a while, he walked out of the inner room, then jumped into the air and flew toward the southwest of Liangzhou.
There is a majestic mountain range here called Qiu Mountain. Its main peak, Yanfeng, is so steep and straight that it can even touch a branch of a big banyan tree. This is also the outermost part of the southwest edge of Qingyang Shangzhou.
After flying for less than half a moment, he saw the towering mountain peak, and then followed the mountain wall to escape the light upwards. After a while, he reached the top of the peak, and then slowly descended here.
Standing here, he looked up and saw a green branch stretching thousands of miles away. It seemed as if he was very close at hand. At this moment, he seemed to be able to feel the vitality transmitted from the branch.
If you are simply practicing, this is not a good place, because the supernatural power attached to the big banyan tree is too powerful, and the cultivators' practice will be disturbed by it.
However, since he was only regulating his breathing, there would be no hindrance. On the contrary, there would be some benefits. After all, the original intention of setting up the big banyan tree here was to protect the living beings in the continent.
He withdrew his gaze, flicked his sleeves, and swept away the dust and gravel, then sat down and fell into silence, and soon everything around him fell silent.
In a secret station on an offshore island, an old man on crutches walked into a workshop with a newspaper. There was a glass cabin standing on a metal pedestal, with a humanoid creature suspended in it.
In front of the glass cabin, a shrewd-looking old man with a silver beard was having a heated discussion with Master Han. Their voices were rising and falling, and it looked like they had some disagreement.
After a while, the two of them noticed the arrival of the old man on crutches.
The silver-bearded old man stopped the argument at the right time, straightened his clothes, and said, "Zhiyuan, what can I do?"
The old man on a crutch said in a deep voice: "Jin Dajiang, Lao Han, and Bai Xiu have issued a fighting letter, agreeing to fight Zhang Yu on the East China Sea on the first day of September."
Master Jin thought for a moment and said, "So after the first day of September, we can work with peace of mind?"
The old man on a crutch shook his head and said, "I want to say more than that." He looked at the two people left and right and said, "Don't you think this is a good opportunity?"
Master Jin thought about it and said, "You want to collect more records? From these two people?"
The old man on crutches touched the hard metal ground with his crutch. He was in a high mood and said with a hint of excitement: "That's it, you two, think about it. These two people will definitely show various ways that are difficult to see on ordinary days.
With magical powers, we can observe them and find their weaknesses and strengths, so as to make up for our shortcomings in this place.
Judging from the information we have so far, Master Zhang Yu is ranked number one among the new cultivators in Qingyang Shangzhou, and Master Bai Xiu is unmatched among the old cultivators.
Being able to observe these two people fighting at close range will be very beneficial to our plan."
Master Jin asked suspiciously: "It's just that Bai Xiu seems to be our ally? Isn't it a bit bad to do this? Will it cause resentment among others?"
The old man on crutches said indifferently: "So what? We don't want to do anything against him, we just want to better achieve our goals. As long as we don't let him notice, that's all. That's what he discovered afterwards.
If he still needs us, then there won't be any problem."
Jin Dajiang said calmly: "The opportunity is indeed an opportunity, but has the Academy ever thought about how we can observe the fight between these two people? How to ensure that what we get is accurate?
The transformations of monks' magical powers are mysterious and mysterious, and even other monks may not be able to understand them, let alone the fact that we only have the armored creator in our hands."
The old man on a crutch said: "This is a problem. I have also considered some methods, but none of them work. So I came to see you two. Do you have any ideas?"
Master Han asked at this time: "What if we use the ancient gods?"
He raised his head, looked at the old man on crutches, and said in a deep voice: "Don't you still have the divine eye of an ancient power god? What if you use this thing?"
Both Master Jin and the old man on crutches looked thoughtful.
Dajiang Jin first said: "Zhiyuan, I think we can give it a try. We don't have to think about doing it right in one step. We can first use the divine eye to read the record of this battle, and then find a way to slowly find out the changes.
."
The old man on a crutch said slowly: "It is indeed worth trying, but as far as the gods are concerned, this thing is too big... How to put this thing nearby is a problem. We only know that these two people will be on the East China Sea."
There was a fight, but the specific location of the fight was not known.
Moreover, all cultivators with high strength have a strange sensing ability. Once they notice it, they will probably destroy it first."
Great Craftsman Jin said: "Zhiyuan, we will definitely not be the only ones watching the battle. We can let some huge creatures carry this thing to conceal its existence."
The old man on a crutch said: "That's fine, I'll go down and make arrangements. I'll come back to you two when we have the results. There's still more than half a month before the battle, and we still have enough time to make arrangements."
In front of Fengxiangling Taoist Temple, a Taoist boy was cleaning the fallen leaves. At this time, he suddenly heard the sound of rustling and couldn't help but move and looked up.
I saw wisps of mist rising from the nearby stone niche, and finally the mist condensed into the figure of a Taoist priest, but his face was a little blurry.
He quickly put aside the things in his hands, knelt down on the ground and said, "Meet the Master."
Master Bai Xiu looked down and said, "Are you a disciple of my disciple Gongsun Minshou?"
The Taoist boy replied respectfully: "Yes."
Master Bai Xiu took one look at him and said, "You are diligent and honest, and you are worthy of the Tao. Go and call Tang Feng."
The Taoist boy responded and hurriedly ran into the Taoist temple. After a while, Tang Feng came quickly, came close, bowed and said: "Teacher, I am here, what are your instructions?"
Master Baixiu said: "I have suddenly felt something strange in my mind recently, and I feel that there may be variables in this battle. After thinking about it, I think that the variables may be outside, and someone may take action to stop me.
To keep things safe, you take my talisman and go to the deserted cave. When you get there, you get the 'lightless flying blade'. When I fight with Zhang Yu, you keep this blade aside and don't let it go.
Anyone who comes close will be on guard."
Tang Feng said: "Disciple accepts the order." He hesitated, "Just using this blade cannot separate the evil spirit. Will the body of Patriarch Yuantong be unable to suppress it?"
Master Bai Xiu said: "It's okay. This flying blade has been banned by your master. It will fly back after sixty days of departure. Moreover, the ray of soul left behind by ancestor Yuantong has been killed.
He can no longer cause trouble, just go and get it."
Tang Feng bowed and said, "Disciple, take your orders."
