Urban Witcher

Ye Shaoyang recognized him as the child he saw by Fu Mingzi during the day, he should also be a disciple of Xuanqing Mountain, and walked over curiously, but the boy didn't seem to notice him, and he was still staring at the stream in a daze, looking very obsessed.

Ye Shaoyang looked at it for a long time and was really curious, so he coughed and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Look at the water." The boy didn't lift his head.

"I know, I'm asking you why you look at the water."

"I'm investigating things."

"Gewu?" Ye Shaoyang didn't understand.

Then the boy raised his head, as if he suddenly found Ye Shaoyang, stared at him with a frown, and said, "Who are you?"

Uh... After chatting with myself for a few words, I finally remembered to ask who I am, this kid is really dumb.

Before Ye Shaoyang could speak, the boy recognized him and said, "Oh, you are the one I met during the day."

Ye Shaoyang squatted down in front of him across the creek, and said, "What is Gewu?"

"Investigate things to know, haven't you heard of it?"

"Uh... I seem to have heard of this word." Ye Shaoyang was a little embarrassed. He had only heard of this word. It seemed to be something related to Confucianism in ancient times. He really didn't know what it was.

"Investigating things to gain knowledge is a law summed up by Zhu Shengren from the Confucian classics... This is a long way to say it, but in the world of magic, it is a method of inner cultivation, similar to meditation, but meditation It is to sit quietly and perceive the world and everything around it, and to study things to gain knowledge, but to perceive the changes of all things from one thing, so as to realize the place of the Tao..." The boy replied very honestly.

Seeing the serious look of this little boy, Ye Shaoyang thought it was very amusing, reached out and touched his head, and said, "Why don't I know the cultivation method of Yougewu Zhizhi?"

"Because, it has been lost for a long time. I read it from an ancient book, and the book didn't say how to find things. I can only figure it out..."

"How can I find things?"

"Just stare."

"Gone?"

"Gone."

The corner of Ye Shaoyang's mouth twitched a few times, what kind of practice method is this!

The little boy said: "It's not as easy as you think to study things to gain knowledge. Only things that are full of vitality need to be 'scrutinized'. This stream is rushing, and there are private paths in it, so I came here."

Ye Shaoyang followed him and stared at the stream, but he couldn't see where the Tao was, so he smiled and said, "Your master doesn't object to you doing this?"

"I am stupid, no matter how I practice, I can't catch up with others, and I have no interest in those mental methods. I think that since the ancients recorded this practice method, it must not be fake. Moreover, I can feel the existence of the Tao, which means It proves that I am suitable for this kind of practice."

Ye Shaoyang didn't know what to say. In his opinion, this cheating way of cultivation was a waste of time and life. He shook his head helplessly and said, "How long have you been doing this?"

"It's been two or three years."

Two or three years... Ye Shaoyang was speechless. "Then did you find out anything?"

"I have drawn out the Dao of Heaven and Earth, but... I can't sum it up, and I don't understand the principle of Dao... I told them, but they didn't believe it. Even my master only allowed me to study things for two hours a day... ...However, I have really identified some Dao, but I can't express it in words, because Dao can be Dao, very Dao."

Ye Shaoyang's heart moved, and seeing the serious look on the boy's immature face, he understood why he had to tell himself so much...No one usually listens to him saying that, on the contrary, his behavior can be imagined , must be ridiculed by others, very unpopular, he can't find anyone to talk to.

"And you, do you think I'm wasting my time too?"

Ye Shaoyang patted him on the shoulder and said: "If you really feel the existence of the Dao from this knowledge of things, you just stick to it and don't care what others do."

The little boy's eyes lit up, and he said, "So, you support me in doing this?"

Ye Shaoyang nodded, "My master told me that everyone has his own way, as long as he doesn't harm the society or others, then no one has the right to tell you what to do, just stick to yourself."

The little boy chewed his words, with a moved expression on his face, and said happily: "Thank you, your master is right!"

"Go on." Ye Shaoyang stood up, said goodbye to him, the little boy sat down cross-legged, and began to learn things again.

Ye Shaoyang smiled, turned around to leave, and suddenly remembered something, and said, "By the way, you are a disciple of the outer sect of Xuanqing Mountain, right?"

"I'm an inner disciple." The little boy didn't lift his head.

Inner door?

Ye Shaoyang frowned and asked, "Is your master Fu Mingzi?"

Seeing the little boy nodding his head, Ye Shaoyang became even more puzzled. He had never heard from his master that there were any brothers?

"what's your name?"

"My surname is Jiang, and my Taoist name is Qingyunzi."

Qing Yunzi! ! ! !

Ye Shaoyang seemed to have been struck by lightning, his whole body trembled, and he fell to the ground.

Hearing the movement, the little boy raised his head, looked at him in surprise, and said, "What's wrong with you?"

Ye Shaoyang looked at him stupidly, and suddenly came to his senses, he didn't care about getting wet, he crawled over the stream, grabbed the little boy's hand, and said in a voiceless voice: "No way, you really are... ...Qing Yunzi?"

"Of course I am, why did I lie to you!" The little boy was very puzzled, "Brother, you... why did you wade through the water, come up quickly."

Ye Shaoyang climbed up to the bank, sat beside him, and looked at him absent-mindedly.

Qing Yunzi... His master was born at this time in 1922, and he looked about ten years old... He made a calculation in his heart. According to this calculation, his master, in his time, was indeed He was over a hundred years old. I used to think he was bragging, but I didn't expect...he was really a hundred years old.

Master...

Ye Shaoyang looked at the little boy in front of him, carefully scrutinized his facial features, not to mention... he really resembles his master.

"Qingyunzi..." Ye Shaoyang suddenly thought of his master's experience: he was unknown in the first half of his life, and his aptitude was dull. , his strength is advancing by leaps and bounds, although he has always been cynical and doesn't like to show off, but his real strength is definitely the best in the world, and his ability to compete with the world's Taoist God Wuji Tianshi is a proof...

All of these are so consistent. It turns out that the master relies on investigating things to know... And with such a skill, he can reach the age of forty. He can face other people's doubts and doubts about himself, and persist until the age of forty. After realizing it, no one can understand the bitterness and loneliness, and almost no one can persevere.
