Chapter 411
In the southwest of the lake island, on the vast lake surface, Zhang Daoran stood with his hands behind his back, standing above the auspicious clouds. Beside Zhang Daoran, Zhang Yifang was very curious. The master took him here from Jianxian Temple without explaining any reason. He stood there for more than half an hour.
Zhang Yifang felt nervous and indescribable sadness in his heart after not being alone with his master for a long time.
"I started a family and started a career, but I still have the same classmates as my master, and I became much more distant from it..."
As the eldest brother, Zhang Yifang lived alone with his wife to see the Immortal Temple. Although the master did not say that he would not allow himself to go to the Sanqing Temple, he was just not involved in cultivation. Zhang Yifang didn't know what excuses he used to see the master and his fellow disciples.
"If you go to Sanqing Temple frequently, the master will definitely think that I have been lazy in my practice, and may even scold me..."
Since getting married, Zhang Yifang feels that he is not very happy. Therefore, he will study the Taoist scriptures and practice boxing and palm techniques whenever he has time. Today, he just sent off the Taoist listener and was taken here by his master before he had time to cook dinner.
Zhang Yifang was very awe-inspiring at his master Zhang Daoran. He was so nervous at this moment that he didn't say anything, and Zhang Yifang didn't dare to ask.
"I did a good job during this period... my cultivation has improved..."
The improvement of cultivation can change some of a person's temperament. Although Zhang Yifang's face was calm at this time, there was a trace of mist of spiritual energy around the heavenly spirit. Zhang Yifang's water law has also been achieved slightly, and it is obvious that his recent efforts have been rewarded.
Zhang Daoran felt relieved and smiled: "After getting married, my teacher was worried that you would be lazy in your cultivation. Now it seems that you did not disappoint my teacher."
Zhang Yifang was very excited. Since he began to practice Taoism with his master, Zhang Yifang himself knew that the master had not been very satisfied with his cultivation. This was the first time in the past few years that the master had recognized his efforts. It was also the first time that he praised himself in such a way.
"The master said that the master will lead the door to practice by himself. The cultivation is for the disciples themselves. If they want to achieve the great way, they cannot slack off. Therefore, the disciples have worked harder recently than before..."
I am indeed very hardworking. Recently, my newlywed wife has been dissatisfied with this day. Because of the lack of time left in practice, I neglected the newlywed wife. However, the master's affirmation made Zhang Yifang very excited.
"Cultivation requires tension and relaxation..." Zhang Daoran shook his head, not agreeing with Zhang Yifang's efforts: "Just like elastic bands, once a person's spirit is tense for a long time, it is difficult to shrink. When practicing, at midnight, when the sun rises, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is the purest, and the cultivation progress is the most obvious. At other times, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is too complicated and mixed with too many negative energy. If the heart of Tao is not strong, it will even affect the mind..."
Zhang Yifang's face was awesome, it was indeed the case. During this period of practice, Zhang Yifang felt that during the day, the spiritual energy was mixed and difficult to refine.
Just as he was about to ask, Zhang Daoran didn't say much about this matter. Instead, he looked at the vast lake and the sun about to set, and his voice was a little light: "For a long time, I have been flattering and letting you be free from any pressure on your practice. On the basis of the supernatural powers of Taoism, I also try my best to let you understand yourself and find the supernatural powers of Taoism that suit you..."
"Your qualifications in the formation are much better than your two junior brothers. Therefore, today I will teach you an intermediate formation..."
Zhang Daoran stretched out his hand and a green energy thread entered Zhang Yifang's heavenly spirit and entered the sea of consciousness: "This is the intermediate formation large Yin and Yang Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array. Later, I will take you to arrange the formation with you, and you must carefully consider it. If one day, if you have something to go out, there will be someone who can adjust the formation..."
Zhang Yifang just heard what Zhang Daoran said. At this time, in the sea of consciousness, nearly a hundred talismans kept circling in the sea of consciousness, very messy, but with a specific rule, each talisman had dozens of changes.
"The five elements are differentiated, the mutual repulsion of yin and yang, and the changes in the formation path have certain rules. When a practitioner comprehending the formation path, he is to master the various changes in the formation."
Zhang Daoran's voice was calm, but this time it was clearly transmitted into Zhang Yifang's sea of consciousness. Zhang Yifang comprehended these nearly a hundred talismans and realized the various changes in the talismans. He only felt dizzy and difficult to understand for a while. Zhang Daoran's words were like a bright lamp, illuminating the road ahead.
After half an hour, Zhang Yifang opened his eyes and a trace of contemplation appeared on his face: "Intermediate formations are somewhat similar to primary formations and various talisman transformations, but they are completely different... In this way, the various arrangement methods that can be used for the primary formations to comprehend with them are difficult to apply to the intermediate formations?"
Zhang Daoran nodded: "Yes, you can discover the difference just after you get into the intermediate formation, which makes me very pleased."
The auspicious clouds slowly moved, Zhang Daoran hesitated for a long time, and his words changed: "As the guide of your path of cultivation, your original intention is to have your own Taoism and get rid of your dependence on your master and form your own style. However, the arrangement of the formations around the island in the middle of the lake requires burying talismans under the water and at the bottom of the lake... Therefore, the master intends to pass on you a magical power..."
"A magical power?"
A hint of joy appeared on Zhang Yifang's face. The master said it was a supernatural power, not a Taoist method.
Since he practiced with the master, the master has taught various Taoisms, but he has never taught any magical powers of the three disciples. Zhang Yifang was very excited in his heart: "Master, is it the magical power of flying clouds and fog like you?"
"No..." Zhang Daoran stretched out his hand and a law emerged from his fingertips, carrying a lot of information into Zhang Yifang's sea of consciousness: "I will teach you the magical powers of water that are like fish..."
"Like a fish in water?"
A large amount of information entered the sea of consciousness, and Zhang Yifang felt a little swelling and pain in his head again. The information transmitted by the law was more than the information transmitted by the intermediate formations before. Zhang Yifang did not care about these and carefully understood the various information in the sea of consciousness: "Turn into a fish, breathe freely. Travel around the world, and explore the five lakes..."
Zhang Daoran has been teaching Zhang Yifang the idea of the magical power of water like a fish. Zhang Yifang's law of condensing water has a unique understanding of water. Zhang Daoran's eyes moved away from Zhang Yifang, feeling a little regretful: "It's a pity that I got this magical power directly and forced to impart it in the Huangting Jing. In an instant, the magical power of water like a fish is already perfect. There is no need to understand it yourself. Just like a natural way of knowing it, it is difficult to understand the joy of learning. Now I teach my various experiences about the magical power of water like a fish, and hope that the one can understand it thoroughly in a short time..."
Not long after, Zhang Yifang opened his eyes, with a hint of confusion on his face.
Just as he was about to ask, Zhang Daoran shook his head: "Personal enlightenment is different. The melody of the magical powers like a fish in water, the method of application, and the perception of the teacher have been taught to you... The master knows what you want to say, and this magical power has not been taught to Yiyan yet. At the beginning, the master wanted to impart this magical power to you and Yiyan. One word condenses the law of gold, and it is difficult to comprehend it like a fish in water. Only with one word condensed the law of water can one practice..."
Zhang Yifang suddenly realized and said in his heart: "The master teaches according to his aptitude, and does not want to be biased against anyone."
"After going back, practice carefully, and practice according to your own understanding. If you don't understand something, at midnight, the teacher will pick you up and answer you... and take you to watch the teacher's large-scale spiritual gathering array...."
The auspicious clouds drifted towards the island in the middle of the lake. When they arrived at the island in the middle of the lake, Zhang Daoran jumped off the auspicious clouds: "The auspicious clouds have spirits, and they will naturally take you back. Remember to stand firm..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the auspicious clouds disappeared in an instant like lightning. Zhang Daoran stood in the southwest of the lake island, looked at the slightly lonely figure on the pier, and sighed: "Every word has always been intelligent, but this time he was blinded by his own mind..."
