Chapter 190 Looking for Trouble Again

When Li Daoxuan woke up, he opened his eyes and saw the familiar roof and familiar furniture decorations.

He was a little dazed. After all, he stayed in the illusion for a long time this time.

He calculated with his fingers that it took thirteen hours to refine each furnace of life-replenishing pills. He had ruined three furnaces in total, so this time of meditation would take several days.

Now I'm suddenly back to reality. Although only one night has passed in reality, I still feel a little uncomfortable.

The Dan Qi flowed freely in his body, and what surprised Li Daoxuan was that the hidden injury he had suffered in the Zhao family was also healed, and his veins were tougher than before. Li Daoxuan was confident that he could hold on even if he cast more talismans.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, he reviewed what he had learned from Xu Fu.

In addition to the methods of alchemy, there is also an ancient book.

"Is this... 'Zou Zi Zhong Shi'?" Li Daoxuan searched for the memory and felt his heart shaken.

"Zou Zi Zhong Shi" is a secret book on Yin and Yang during the Qin and Han dynasties, also known as "Zhong Shi Wu De".

These classics are lost classics from ancient times and disappeared before the Han Dynasty. The theories of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements in the world are probably related to them.

This book of Yin-Yang School was truly a sacred object sent from heaven. Li Daoxuan was overjoyed when he saw it and quickly opened it to take a look.

Just by opening one page, I can feel the sound of Tao echoing in my mind.

"Zou Zi's transformation started from benevolence and righteousness."

The sound of Tao never stops, echoing in my mind, like the earnest teachings of a holy teacher.

Li Daoxuan studied "Zou Zi Zhong Shi" and gained a better understanding of the Yin-Yang and Five Elements.

Zou Zi's theory of Yin and Yang is very different from Taoism. It advocates the way of the innate, transforms the changes of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, and obtains the laws of heaven and earth.

Then it can become a law and be accepted by the world.

The content of Zou Zi's teachings is also very subtle and profound, and it is divided into Yang theory and Yin theory. It is already difficult to read just two chapters.

But the more he studied Zou Zi, the more thorough Li Daoxuan's understanding of the Yin-Yang and Five Elements became, and his attitude became more respectful.

Originally, Li Daoxuan had studied the Taoist Five Elements from the memories he inherited from this body in this life, but many of his doubts were resolved at this moment, which made him suddenly enlightened and gain a lot of insights.

I wanted to continue studying, but I felt drowsy when I tried to study again, and it was obvious that I couldn’t keep up with the energy.

He knew that this was because the meaning of Zou Zi was too profound. Although it solved many of his previous doubts, it also added many new things that he still didn't understand. So consciousness protected him from the pain of confusion.

This feeling made Li Daoxuan feel like he was back in college studying advanced mathematics. The pain of staring at the problem for a long time and scratching his head but still unable to solve it was just like he was feeling now.

In this world, knowing is knowing, and not knowing is not knowing. The distance between them is like a wall. There is no shortcut, and no way to see the other side.

"This is learning." Li Daoxuan opened his eyes and smiled.

Although his mind was groggy, he gained a lot.

There are fifty-six chapters in Zou Zi, and he has temporarily learned two of them.

"All the laws in the world are inseparable from the truth. Although the Eastern Yin-Yang Dao has many changes, its foundation is still the law of Yin-Yang. The changes are endless, but they also return to the truth. The essence is the way of Yin."

Li Daoxuan seemed to have some insights and vaguely understood why this Eastern Yin-Yang magician did what he did.

Both Oriental magic and Yinshan magic are derived from the methods of Yinxue. The Yinsha used in them is the changes of the Yin and Yang. As long as you observe its essence, you can break it.

"In ancient times, great masters could break all the masters with one method. Isn't it like this?" Li Daoxuan had an epiphany and understood a little more about the masters' abilities.

He finally understood why someone could defeat the methods of hundreds of schools with the knowledge of one school. It was because that person had true insights and had learned the essence of things.

Master Xu Fu and Li Daoxuan's "Zou Zi" is also a classic that directly points to the root of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. Li Daoxuan can only be grateful for such a great favor. "Master, Master. In the future, I will definitely write more special stories for you, so that you can occupy a place in folk tales." Li Daoxuan bowed sincerely, and then got up from the bed.

Outside, the sky was still dark and drizzling. After a night of wind and rain, the air smelled a bit more like soil and manure. This smell was common in farmhouses, but it wasn't that bad.

When I opened the window, I saw villagers wearing straw raincoats and leading cows past.

But the alley is missing the laughter of children, and some of the joy of life.

Well, after such a big incident, no one would be so careless as to let their children run around the village.

After all, Lijia Village had been peaceful for a hundred years with few deaths. But in just a few months, a child drowned, the Chang brothers drowned, and Li Xiucai's wife was dissected. So many murders would be horrified anyone.

"It's really a storm in the building." Li Daoxuan showed a helpless smile.

He looked at the desk, and did not follow the previous ritual of drawing talismans. He held the pen in one hand, dotted cinnabar with the help of rainwater, and then drew a yellow talisman in the shape of a dragon on the paper.

Then use the tip of the pen to tap the talisman, entering the civil and martial fires. The civil fire starts from the kidneys and turns into evil, while the martial fire starts from the heart and turns into qi.

The fusion of civil and military affairs creates a natural and powerful aura.

The talisman floated up violently and trembled in the air.

The talisman on it was shining brightly, and then a whirring sound could be heard from the talisman paper.

Before Li Daoxuan could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw the yellow talisman under his pen hissing, and then exploded with a bang, breaking into countless tiny pieces of paper.

"It seems that it still won't work." Li Daoxuan sighed with some regret and collected the yellow talismans scattered on the table.

Just now he had a sudden idea and did an experiment by drawing talismans.

The civil and martial fires can be used to make elixirs, so can they also be used to draw talismans?
What will happen if we use civil and martial fires to infuse the talisman and temper it?
Li Daoxuan thought this method was feasible, so he implemented it.

But it still seems not possible now. He has not yet mastered the temperature of the two fires, civil and martial, and integrating them into the talisman will only cause the talisman to explode.

Putting down the pen in his hand, Li Daoxuan did not force it anymore. Perhaps this matter could be done slowly. He had a hunch that perhaps when he could really cast talismans with the two fires of civil and martial arts, he would be able to reach the realm of the Heavenly Master.

"Let's take it slowly later." Thinking to himself, Li Daoxuan looked at the food on the table again.

That should have been brought in by Aunt Sun. He set up a formation in the room so that the maids could not come in without his permission. Only Aunt Sun could come in safely if she had the token he gave her.

Tried the food, it was a bit cold.

Li Daoxuan put on his clothes, walked out of the room and went downstairs.

Aunt Sun, who was busy in the hall, saw him and showed joy on her face. She hurried forward and said to Li Daoxuan with a smile: "Third Young Master, you are awake. You have been sleeping for a whole day and I was worried to death."

"I'm sorry to have made Mrs. Sun worry." Li Daoxuan said apologetically.

He didn't expect that he could stay in the illusion for so long. He had previously calculated that he would stay there for at most half a night.

"It's okay, it's okay. The main thing is that you need to take care of yourself, young master. The maids brought you food before, but they couldn't get in. They were scared. It was only me who brought it in, took a look at the young master, and then came out." Aunt Sun seemed to remember something and then said again. "Did the young master eat?"

"Not yet." Feeling a little hungry, Li Daoxuan naturally agreed.

He walked into the hall and sat down, then looked at the things placed on the guest seat not far away. It seemed that a chicken had just been killed and was still fresh.

When Aunt Sun came in, Li Daoxuan asked, "Are there any guests at home?"

"I have been here." Aunt Sun was stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly. "It was the woman from Changde's family, who said she wanted to see you, young master."

"Changde family? I understand." Li Daoxuan nodded.
