"Uncle Master, why are you studying the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams and the Qimen Technique again?"
Lu Linglong looked at the file Qin Qi opened, which contained content about various strange techniques, the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, the Three Talents and Four Symbols.
"Girl, you don't understand. Do you know what it means that Tao begets one, one begets two, and two begets three?"
"I know, Uncle Master. Although I don't know as much as you do, I have read books and I understand this principle.
"You don't know. You just know this sentence, but you don't know what it means or how it feels."
"It's like holding a stone in your hand. You know there will be cracks when the stone breaks, but you haven't seen it with your own eyes.
"You can only see the lines in the stone when you break it open."
Qin Qi flipped through the materials at a very fast speed, one page after another, while still being able to talk to Lu Linglong at the same time.
"Uncle Master, please say something I can understand. You make me feel like an idiot when you talk like that."
"Silly girl, don't say that. You're not stupid, you're just not smart."
Lu Linglong felt a little happy after listening to Qin Qi's words. Her uncle admitted that she was very smart, but after thinking for a while, she found out.
If you are not smart, you are stupid! Uncle Master is still saying that he is stupid!
"The simpler and more fundamental something is, the more powerful it is. Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things."
"The Book of Changes says that Tai Chi gives rise to two opposites, two opposites give rise to four images, and four images give rise to eight trigrams. We cannot touch upon the specific Dao."
"But I can infer the Five Elements from the Eight Trigrams, the Four Symbols from the Five Elements, the Two Principles from the Four Symbols, and the Tai Chi from the Two Principles!"
"Finally, you will get the great way!"
After Qin Qi transformed the Great Five Elements Technique into the Great Five Elements Dao, he understood a truth: the more fundamental something is, the more powerful it is!
Those seemingly powerful things, such as the Eight Great Techniques, are ultimately just spells, and spells cannot affect the fundamentals.
But the Tao can, the fundamental strength is the real strength, while the strength of the technique is only superficial.
Just like rootless duckweed, they may seem numerous, but they actually disappear as soon as the wind blows!
"Hmm, I don't understand."
Lu Linglong gave up thinking and said:
"Oh, uncle, my great-grandfather just called and said that the old Taoist priest asked you to go to Longhu Mountain when you are free. He has something to ask you."
"Ah? The old Taoist priest called your great grandfather and asked him to tell you, and then asked you to tell me."
"Why didn't he just call me?"
"The old Taoist priest doesn't have your phone number. I wanted to contact my uncle, but he doesn't use a cell phone."
"In the end, the old Taoist priest had no choice but to call my great-grandfather and ask him to tell me, and then let me tell you, uncle."
Lu Linglong was also very helpless. It was not that they did not buy Fang Dongtian a mobile phone, but Fang Dongtian did not like to use it or learn how to use it.
"It's quite a twist, but why did that old man come to me?"
Qin Qi was a little confused. After thinking about it, he suddenly realized that the other party might have discovered that he had emptied the Longhu Mountain Library.
Well, that's unlikely. I told my master about it, but no one else has told it. It's impossible for the old master to know about it.
And even if he knew, he wouldn't have asked me to come over specifically. He said at the time that I would learn as much as I could.
I learned it all, and that's my own ability.
"I don't know. My great-grandfather didn't tell me."
Lu Linglong said.
"Okay, I understand. I'll go take a look when I have time, but right now I have to study the Five Elements and reverse-engineer the Four Symbols.
Qin Qi said.
In the blink of an eye, another half a month had passed. During this time, Qin Qi had almost finished studying the Five Elements.
The reversed four images also gradually began to be completed, but at this time it was only the realm of Dharma, and could not reach the realm of the Four Images.
"There are four directions in the sky, and four spirits in each direction. These four spirits represent the four symbols."
"In the east, south, west and north, there are Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, White Tiger and Black Tortoise respectively, representing Shaoyang, Laoyang, Shaoyin and Laoyin respectively."
"These four symbols can be further divided into the five elements and the eight trigrams, which can be further divided into countless combinations of trigrams."
"It's still a little bit off."
Qin Qi's perception of the power of heaven and earth became extremely sharp at this time, and he absorbed the power of heaven and earth with every breath.
"Master, Master, big news! Big news! Zhang Lingyu, the real person Lingyu, was driven down the mountain by the old Heavenly Master!"
Lu Linglong hurried over and showed Qin Qi the latest news on her phone.
"oh."
Qin Qi looked at the news about the strange people. The first one was that Zhang Lingyu was expelled from Longhu Mountain by the old Taoist priest because he colluded with Quan Xing.
Well, it can't be called collusion.
When the Taoist sect joined forces to suppress Quan Xing, Zhang Lingyu went down the mountain to help Xia He, the Scraping Bone Knife, and Shen Chong, the Root of Evil, to deal with those who were besieging Quan Xing.
"My uncle was almost killed, and instead of helping him get revenge, he actually helped the enemy deal with his own people."
"The old Taoist priest was really soft-hearted for not slapping him to death. If it were me, I would have slapped him to death long ago."
"Oh right, I remember this guy beat you up last time, right? I was so busy... ahem, I forgot to help you beat him up."
"Don't worry, I'll kill him with a slap when I see him next time."
Qin Qi shook his head. Zhang Lingyu's behavior was tantamount to stabbing someone in the back. Zhengyi and Quanzhen people all considered themselves to be righteous people.
It was all because of the last incident at Mount Longhu that they started suppressing and besieging Quan Xing, and the old Taoist priest was the leader.
Although the old Taoist priest did not go down the mountain to attack Quan Xing himself because Tian Jinzhong was not dead, he eventually ordered his disciples to start a siege on Quan Xing.
As the disciple of the old Taoist priest, Zhang Lingyu did not lead the charge, but he turned around and attacked his own people.
How would the other disciples view him? How would the other people in the Xuan Sect view the old Taoist priest?
"And that Zhang Chulan? None of the young generation at Longhu Mountain is up to the task. Girl, don't play with them anymore.
"You won't learn anything good from playing with them; it will only hinder your own path to enlightenment."
Qin Qi sighed a little. The old Taoist priest was really amazing. His talent, understanding and willpower were all top-notch. When he saw this, he would say that the old man was really awesome.
But as for the apprentice he taught...there's nothing much to say. Anyway, Qin Qi decided that he would never accept any apprentices in the future.
Teaching disciples is too tiring, so he should just pursue the great path on his own.
"Actually, True Man Lingyu is alright, right?
Lu Linglong felt that although Zhang Lingyu did something wrong in this matter, he was actually a good person and a very kind person.
But after listening to Qin Qi's words, she felt that what her uncle said was right!
If her uncle-master was killed, she would definitely help him get revenge! Her great-grandfather taught her since she was a child to repay kindness and to avenge hatred.
My uncle-master was killed...that seems unlikely.
Lu Linglong thought about the scene for a moment. In her imagination, those who went to kill Qin Qi were slapped to the ground and couldn't even move.
Lu Linglong couldn't imagine Qin Qi being defeated.
