"The harmony and reversal of yin and yang is so wonderful that it is difficult to find a way to end it. The two solstices return to the nine palaces. If you can understand the principles of yin and yang, the world will be in the palm of your hand..."
The old man was wearing a blue Taoist robe, a black Taoist hat on his head, holding a fishing rod in his hand, squatting on the bridge, leisurely like a statue.
The fishing rod remained motionless in his hand, and the fishing line drooped naturally. The whole scene was like a splash-ink landscape painting.
What he was reading was "Song of the Smoker Diaosou".
Yan Shouyi has also read these words before.
Seeing the old man's dress, Yan Shouyi guessed that he was a Taoist priest during his lifetime.
It's no wonder that an ordinary old man can't directly turn into a powerful ghost after death.
Even the masters of the Lushan sect couldn't subdue him.
The truth is that this old man was very powerful during his lifetime, and after his death, he can still live a prosperous life in the world by relying on Taoism.
However, this old man is a Taoist priest, but also from what sect?
Yan Shouyi observed the old man's dress, thought of what he had seen and heard in the past, and had the answer in his mind.
Longhu Mountain.
Tianshi Mansion.
This is the key to success!
Righteousness is used to control evil, and oneness is used to unify all things. This is the meaning of "rightness and unity".
Yan Shouyi, a miscellaneous army, couldn't help but feel a little respect in his heart when he saw the regular army of Tianshi Mansion.
He held the fishing rod in his hand and awkwardly saluted the old man:
"Junior Yan Shouyi has met the senior."
But the old man didn't pay attention to Yan Shouyi. He closed his eyes and didn't respond. If his body hadn't been shaking slightly back and forth, Yan Shouyi would have thought he had burped.
"The Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan fought against Chi You, and Zhuolu suffered for many years. I dreamed that the gods gave me talismans, and I went to the altar to offer sacrifices. I sincerely practice them."
After a while, the old man continued to read "The Song of Diaosou in the Smoke".
"The dragon carried the picture to the Luoshui River, and the colorful phoenix held the book in the blue clouds. It was written by the wind, and the Dunjia Qimen began from that time.
One thousand and eighty were made at that time, Taigong deleted it to seventy-two, and was arrested by Zhang Zifang in the Han Dynasty. The eighteenth round was called Jingyi..."
When Yan Shou saw that the old man ignored him, he did not dare to act presumptuously.
So he squatted next to the old man, chanted a song along with the old man in a low voice, and began to catch fish.
"First, nine palaces must be arranged on the palm of the hand, with fifteen vertical and horizontal palaces in them. Next, the eight trigrams are divided into eight sections, and one Qi unifies the three as the authentic one.
The two elements of Yin and Yang are divided into prosperous and reverse. One Qi and three yuan are unpredictable. Come and exchange for one yuan in five days. The principle is to connect the Qi and transcend the gods...
...The third to fourth palaces are difficult to avoid. The eight and nine are high and open to the west and east. The time of the solar terms is determined. The yin and yang should be mastered.
The three elements add up to six periods, and the heaven and earth have not yet become unified. Please watch the true secrets in the song, and do not teach them to anyone but a true sage. "
After reciting it for a while, the song finally came to an end.
Yan Shou suddenly felt the fishing rod in his hand being pulled.
Has a fish taken the bait? ?
He did not lift the pole immediately, but glanced at the old man beside him from the corner of his eye.
The old man's fishing rod has not caught any fish yet.
In order to give the old man face, Yan Shouyi silently ignored the movement from the fishing rod in his hand.
But the desire to lift the pole actually became stronger and stronger in his heart.
He had never been so curious as to what fish he had caught and how big it was.
But Yan Shouyi still suppressed his curiosity and never raised the fishing rod.
An unknown amount of time passed.
The old man suddenly used his own fishing rod to lift Yan Shouyi's fishing rod.
The fishing rod was lifted up, and Yan Shouyi was surprised to find that there was nothing at the end of the fishing line.
Jiang Taigong still uses a straight hook when fishing!
What's going on?
And if there was no fishhook, what was it that was pulling me just now?
The old man smiled and said: "All suffering in the world is caused by desire. It is rare for you to be able to suppress desire at such a young age."
What does this mean? The old man seems to be testing himself?
Although he seemed to have passed the test, Yan Shouyi couldn't understand it anymore.
I just came here to say hello, what else do I need to test?
Yan Shouyi was about to speak, but the old man put away his fishing rod, pointed to the small tea pavilion next to the yard, and walked over with his hands behind his back.
It seemed that he wanted to make tea with Yan Shouyi.
Yan Shouyi followed him obediently. After taking his seat, the old man skillfully cooked, brewed and brewed tea.
Finally, a cup of fragrant tea was placed in front of Yan Shouyi.
"Old senior, I would like to ask first, a few of the people traveling with me, are they okay?" Yan Shouyi couldn't help but ask.
The old man shook his head: "My good children are leading them to play, you don't have to worry."
"Forehead……"
Thinking of the group of resentful orphans before, Yan Shouyi became even more worried.
In fact, it was not Long Feicheng and the others who disappeared, but Yan Shouyi himself.
Looking at the surrounding environment, he is obviously in the yin and yang world, not in the real world.
The Liu family's ancestral house needs to pass through the ancient well, but the Yin and Yang world here seems to be different.
The old man was making tea leisurely, his small eyes narrowed, and he looked at Yan Shouyi carefully up and down.
"Are you Yan Baixiang's grandson?" the old man asked.
Yan Shou nodded and replied honestly: "Yes."
"How to prove it?"
Yan Shou thought for a while, and it seemed that he didn't have many things left by his grandfather.
The thing that best represents his grandfather is the Zanpakutō.
So, Yan Shouyi used a burning talisman to retrieve the object, summoned the Zanpakutō, and placed it on the table.
Seeing the Zanpakutō, the old man's eyes visibly lit up.
He held the Zanpakutō in both hands, his eyes gently stroking the blade as his hands moved, and he couldn't help but sigh:
"After all these years, this Zanpakuto is still the same as before."
"Do you recognize the Zanpakutō?"
"Of course I recognize it. Take a look at the handle of this knife. What words are engraved on it?" the old man said with a smile.
Yan Shou took back the Zanpakutō and carefully inspected the handle, only to find that there were indeed words engraved on the handle.
He hadn't discovered it in all these years.
I saw that the words engraved on the front of the knife handle were blurred.
On the back, the word "山通" is clearly written.
"Shandong?" Yan Shouyi read out in surprise.
The old man laughed: "It's Pindao! Pindao's name is Zhang Zhidong, his nickname is Shantong, Zhang Shantong is also the name!"
Yan Shou was shocked.
The Zanpakutō passed down to him by his grandfather actually has a great connection with the old man in front of him.
Who can engrave his name on the sword?
Who else could it be but the owner of the knife? !
"Senior, you mean that this Zanpakuto once belonged to you?!"
Zhang Shantong touched his beard and nodded meaningfully.
Yan Shouyi then said: "I saw my grandfather's mark engraved on your fishing rod earlier. It was obviously made by my grandfather. So, do you know my grandfather?"
"More than just acquaintances, Pindao and your grandfather once spent a very beautiful time together..."
Hearing this, Yan Shouyi couldn't help being stunned.
A very beautiful day?
How do you say this...
Something seems not quite right!
He clearly remembered that grandpa only liked grandma!
Why does an old man appear now, claiming to have spent a very good time with his grandfather?
Yan Shouyi had a terrible suspicion in his mind.
He swallowed and whispered, "Senior, are you and my grandfather forced to separate because of worldly opinions?"
Zhang Shantong was also stunned.
Why did he feel that something was wrong with what Yan Shouyi said?
When Yan Shou saw Zhang Shantong's strange look, he quickly comforted him:
"Senior, the world is no longer so harsh. Even if you have the same gender, you can still fall in love boldly! It's just a pity that you, the two elders, did not catch up with the good times..."
