The Great Way to Truth, Starting from Jiazi Laodao

Chapter 38: Teaching Thunder Methods and Thunder Refining

"Brother, is this thunder technique?"

The words are not yet finished, but the meaning is clear.

Xuanming didn't turn around, but used some of his mind to explain the reason he had thought of long ago: "This thunder is what I learned from my study of the Nine Hundred Daoist Scriptures. It is called the Five Thunder Method. I have been practicing this method by watching the rain and listening to the thunder these days. So far, it seems to be working well."

This is the character Xuanming created for himself: he has top-notch comprehension, and this matter is half true and half false, a combination of reality and fiction. Only in this way, when he comes up with more good things later, the Taoists will be less suspicious and more receptive.

Hearing this, Xuan Tong was excited. Not only was the effect good, but when competing with opponents of the same level, lightning appeared in his palms and he was extremely domineering and easily crushed the Chu family's hegemony.

At that moment, Senior Brother Xuanming seemed like the God of Thunder who was in charge of punishment, rewarding the good and punishing the evil, which was awe-inspiring.

Although Senior Brother Xuanming's understanding of the Five Thunder Method is deeper than Chu Yunfei's understanding of the Tyrant Fist, but Yi Ye Heralds Autumn, it can still be seen that the potential and level of the Five Thunder Method are not inferior to the Chu family's Tyrant Fist.

The Qiuzhen Temple has added a new unique skill to its temple.

"Brother, your understanding is unparalleled. I admire you."

After praising sincerely, Xuan Tong continued, "I never thought that Chu Yunfei's challenge was full of calculations. If it weren't for my senior brother's alertness, noticing the undercurrent, and achieving the status of a real person, Chu Yunfei is also very smart. I'm afraid that my Truth Seeking Temple would be tricked and in a bad situation."

Xuan Tong's mind raced, his thoughts surging, he thought of all sorts of possibilities, the more he thought about it the more scared he became.

Fortunately, Xuanming had set the tone. He was outsmarted this time. He thought of something and said happily:
"Now, the conspiracy of the person behind the scenes has been exposed. With the participation of the Chu family, they are running around to investigate and share the pressure for me, the Truth Seeking Temple. I believe that the mastermind behind the scenes will be found out soon and the truth will be revealed."

Xuanming's eyes were deep, he did not deny it, and said slowly: "The feathered clothes are often smoky and hazy, and they do not attract the peach and plum flowers in the world. The Taoists should focus on the great way. No matter what the truth is, we mountain people must concentrate on practicing. Only by calming our minds can we see through the conspiracy, and only by strengthening ourselves can we live in the mountains and be at ease."

"The Chu family has deep roots in Fengyang County. With them around, we can avoid getting into trouble and practice with peace of mind. We only need to provide assistance when they need it."

Xuan Tong praised: "Brother is still very insightful."

After Xuantong finished his work, the two did not leave.

Xuan Yu bowed, his expression serious and serious, and said sincerely: "Please teach me the Thunder Method, Senior Brother."

"it is good!"

Xuanming agreed promptly.

No reason asked.

No test was given.

Just a simple and direct nod.

Xuan Tong was stunned and Xuan Yu was dazed.

The Tao is not easily passed on, and the Dharma is not easily taught.

Even between a master and his apprentice, there is some reservation, and the master will always hold back to prevent the apprentice from overeating and the master from starving.

What's more, they are brothers in the same school.

It is obvious that the Five Thunder Method is of extremely high quality. Putting himself in Xuan Yu's shoes, if he had this method, he would have examined and tested it again and again before passing it on to his disciples. Putting himself in other people's shoes, he has made mental preparations to be rejected or to accept trials, and has imagined various possibilities.

But the result suddenly took a sharp turn and ended up with a possibility that even he thought was outlandish:

Just agree to it, no effort required!
Such a precious method is passed down just like that! ?
Senior Brother Xuanming had no concerns at all, and Xuanyu was not on guard at all.

His lips trembled, and Xuan Yu opened and closed his mouth several times, but he couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

On the top of the mountain, the wind and rain were howling, and the thunder and lightning were dancing.

Xuanming did not answer immediately, a trace of reminiscence appeared on his face. After a while, he finally stood up, turned to look at Xuanyu, and said frankly: "Although I am the son of the headmaster, I was confused and dazed in the past, and it was inevitable that I would be bullied in places where my father could not take care of me."

"Although he is a man of few words, he is upright and fair. He always respects me and treats me as a senior brother. He has even taught a lesson to those who bully me several times."

"You gave me a peach, and I will repay you with a jade pendant. I will always remember this favor. If you want to learn the Five Thunder Technique, I will teach you."

If it were someone else, they would either take advantage of the situation and reap more benefits, or be vague and take advantage of the opportunity to do someone a favor.

But Xuan Yu was honest and would not lie. Although he wanted the Five Thunder Technique very much, he still told the truth: "I just happened to meet him and couldn't bear to see him, so I helped him. I don't deserve such a generous reward from you, Senior Brother."

His eyelids moved slightly, and he looked up at Xuan Yu. Xuan Ming said, "Just do good things, don't ask about the future, and follow your heart, not things."

"Whether to help or not is up to you, Junior Brother."

"Whether to report or not is up to me."

"Besides, I know my junior brother's moral character very well. He will not rely on his thunder magic to do whatever he wants. The magic is not taught to the wrong person. How can I not be at ease?" Although he did not have much contact with Xuan Yu, he always left a deep impression on the friendship of their youth.

By granting the Thunder Method, Xuan Yu benefited from it and he repaid the favor, and his heart of Tao became clearer. It can be said that both sides got what they needed and it was a win-win situation.

I didn't have much contact with him before, but over the past two years, I have a better understanding of what kind of person this junior fellow is.

At this point, Xuan Yu didn't act pretentiously. He looked serious, bowed, and said solemnly: "Thank you, Senior Brother."

---

After the matter was settled, Xuan Tong and Xuan Yu left.

After descending the Cangdao Peak, the two Taoists turned back at the same time, looked at the mountain top where there was no one but only wind and rain, and smiled at each other.

"A hundred years of thirst, three generations of pursuit, today, finally a true person was born in my Seeking Truth Temple."

"Yes! If you want to explore the three thousand worlds of the earth, you must climb eight hundred steps to the top of the mountain. Brother Xuanming has achieved the status of a real person with his diligent pursuit and sincere heart. You and I should also work hard to catch up with him."

"Junior Brother Xuanyu is right."

Outside Fuyun County, it was raining heavily.

Chu Yunfei, who was on his way, looked back and gazed at the Fuyun Mountain hidden in the rain curtain, and said with emotion:

"When the great roc rises with the wind, it soars up to ninety thousand miles. This Seeking Truth Temple is about to gain momentum."

Upon hearing this, Chu Dong also looked back at the mountain in the rain, turned around and continued on his way. After walking three steps, he said, "Right now, the conflicts between the aristocratic families and the sects are becoming increasingly acute. The Truth Seeking Temple has a shallow foundation and has not been involved in those messy things for the time being. If we can make friends with them, our Chu family can attack or defend."

Seeing Chu Yunfei silent, Chu Dong glanced at him and said soothingly, "Don't worry, Xuanming Zhenren saved your life. The Chu family will be grateful and will treat you with sincerity. In this way, if the two families really want to form a secret alliance in the future, the relationship will be harmonious and solid."

Chu Yunfei's expression relaxed.

He knows very well what his own style is like.

What he did just now was just to get a promise from his uncle, so that he could get more thank-you gifts for the Qiuzhen Temple, which could be regarded as his token of appreciation to Master Xuanming.

---

Zangdao Peak, on the top of the mountain.

Chu Yunfei and Chu Dong had not walked three hundred miles yet, and Xuanming heard the conversation between master and nephew clearly.

He admired Chu Yunfei even more.

Be grateful and repay kindness, and you will have a bright future.

As for the conflict between the aristocratic families and the sects, Xuanming kept it in mind but did not plan to take any action.

First of all, I don’t know the situation.

Secondly, Taoism practice is mainly based on purity.

As long as it does not involve the pursuit of truth and does not harm innocent people, he will not care. If storms come in the future, he will fight with soldiers and cover with earth.

As long as you continue to practice successfully, no matter how fierce the storms are, you can calm them down with a flick of your hand.

Of course, the Chu family is willing to make good connections, and Xuanming is happy to see it happen. More friends mean more paths. However, all of this is taken care of by Junior Brother Xuanxu. All Taoists have their own division of labor in the world, so he just needs to focus on practicing Taoism and become the guardian stone of the Qiuzhen Temple.

The void trembled slightly, the wind and rain were dark, and in the depths of the thunderclouds, thunder roared and fell on the peach wood sword.

By throwing the sword into the depths of thunderclouds, Xuanming was using the power of thunder to refine the sword and remove impurities from the peach wood sword.

Those who practice intensive cultivation use magical instruments.

Qigong practitioners use spiritual tools.

Those who practice spiritual cultivation use magic weapons.

Although thunder refining is dangerous, it also has huge benefits. It can refine materials, shorten refining time, resonate with the spiritual inspiration of heaven and earth, and draw on the power of wind and thunder.

If it weren't for the special power of Hunyuan and the mastery of the Five Thunder Method, Xuanming would not dare to do this.

Since this summer, whenever there was a thunderstorm, he would send his peach wood sword into the thunderclouds to be tempered.

Xuanming collected his thoughts, cleared his mind and concentrated, continuing to watch the rain and listen to the thunder. He soon became immersed in it, forgetting everything about himself and the world.
