His train of thought was not smooth, so he let the old sword carve out the plot. For the next two days, he would wait until his train of thought was straightened out before continuing. (

.....
These two sheepskin scrolls were obtained by Wang Yan from the rapist Wei Xiaofeng and Rao Yu respectively. Both sheepskin scrolls had maps drawn on them, but they were incomplete. He could not see where the end was, and it was difficult to distinguish where the map depicted. However, the maps on the two sheepskin scrolls were drawn with a special material. Under the moonlight, not only did it emit a faint fluorescence, but there was even a faint stream of light flashing and flowing along a certain track, which was quite strange.
Obviously, the two maps came from the same source, so there must be some secret contained in them. Unfortunately, the two sheepskin scrolls could not be pieced together into a complete map, so he could not pry into the secret. Therefore, Wang Yan kept them close to him. It was just that, he did not expect that just now, these two sheepskin scrolls actually let out an icy cold aura, which had never happened before.
Wang Yan spread out the two sheepskin scrolls on his palm. Because it was not yet night, the map did not show any fluorescence. After repeatedly looking at it, Wang Yan did not find anything unusual. However, when he was about to put away the two sheepskin scrolls, two icy cold auras flowed out.
"Something is strange."
Wang Yan's eyes flashed. After pondering for a long time, he said to Guibo, "Guibo, let's stay here for a while."
Guibo nodded without saying anything. Wang Yan then took the two sheepskin scrolls and sat down on a large rock at the foot of the mountain. He then spread the two sheepskin scrolls in front of him and studied them for a while. Unfortunately, he still did not find anything. In the end, Wang Yan was too lazy to think too much about it. He only thought that after nightfall, under the moonlight, the abnormality of these two sheepskin scrolls might reveal itself.
With that in mind, Wang Yan took out a book from his bosom and began to read it. It was the "Maha Sutra" that was given to him by the abbot of Zhao Jue Temple when he left Golden City.
Since leaving Golden City for half a month, although Wang Yan and Guibo never stopped heading north, he never stopped cultivating. On one hand, he had absorbed the Twin Ice Lotus Petal that the sect leader of the Tong Yuan Sect had given him. Although the change in his Gang Qi was not obvious, his inner force had already stabilized for more than sixty years, which could be considered a small benefit to his body. On the other hand, Wang Yan had been cultivating the inner force transition method of the Yuan Orifice Art as he traveled, using it to gradually replace the inner force transition method of some of his original techniques. Over the past half a month, he could be considered to have achieved some results.
In addition, along the way, whenever Wang Yan had free time, he would try his best to perfect the "Strange Doors Ring Body Technique". Logically speaking, with his current deduction and calculation ability, even though this "Strange Doors Ring Body Technique" had been integrated with the many changes of the nine palaces and eight trigrams, it should have been completely perfected. However, Wang Yan had a new idea about this self-created lightness skill, so that until now, this "Strange Doors Ring Body Technique" had not been completely perfected, and this new idea came from this "Maha Sutra".
This Buddhist scripture did not record martial arts, nor was it some lightness skill or secret technique. The entire scripture was a profound explanation of the principles of Buddhism. If it was only the principles of how to conduct oneself in the world, Wang Yan would naturally not waste his effort. The reason why he would study this scripture so seriously was because this "Maha Sutra" explained the principles of martial arts, or rather, explained the concepts of martial arts.
The entire "Maha Sutra" was divided into three parts. The first part used the formlessness of all living things as a guide, explaining what the "Formless Dao" was. However, Buddhism had always loved to be deliberately mystifying, hiding the principles of martial arts in various Buddhist hymns or Buddhist stories. Those who did not have sufficient comprehension ability would not be able to see any profound meaning in it at all, and would only treat this book as a Buddhist scripture to sincerely believe in Buddha. However, with Wang Yan's current comprehension ability, he could easily see through the mysteries within and see the true meaning within, greatly improving his understanding of the "Formless Dao".
On the other hand, the second part of the "Maha Sutra" used the formlessness of cause and effect as a guide, explaining the true meaning of the "Formless Dao" in detail. However, due to the limited time, Wang Yan did not have the time to carefully study it.
As for the last part of the "Maha Sutra", it used the idea of Buddhism's self-transcendence to seek Great Freedom to elaborate on the "Anatta Dao". This part was profound and obscure, and even with Wang Yan's current comprehension ability, he still needed to ponder over every word before he could comprehend it. Now that he did not have the conditions, he naturally could not study it in detail and could only leave it for the future.
Three parts, three kinds of martial arts concepts. It was only after Wang Yan had some understanding of the "Formless Dao" that he had a new idea of the "Wonder Door Circular Body Technique". In the past, he thought that the movement technique was only about changes and unpredictability, making it difficult for people to grasp it. However, now that he thought about it, it was not the case. No matter if it was martial arts or Qinggong, the form was important, but it could not lose its spirit. Otherwise, it would only fall into the inferior category. The "Formless Wind" derived from the "Formless Dao" was the most compatible with Qinggong. If he could integrate it into the "Wonder Door Circular Body Technique" so that this Qinggong would have both the form and the spirit, supplemented with the special inner energy jumping method of the Primordial Orifice Technique and the "Ascending Dragon Scripture" into the inner energy circulation of the six meridians, then this Qinggong might have a qualitative leap and truly become a rare superior Qinggong.
It was precisely because of this thought that Wang Yan suppressed his thoughts and combed through all of his previous thoughts on the "Wonder Door Circular Body Technique". He overruled those that should be overthrown, and deduced and calculated those that should be deduced and calculated again. Until now, even though the foundation of the new "Wonder Door Circular Body Technique" was not perfect, Wang Yan firmly believed that the new "Wonder Door Circular Body Technique" would be a hundred times better than the previous one.
Time passed quietly as Wang Yan studied the scripture. Before he knew it, the sky had already darkened. The crescent moon quietly climbed halfway up the mountain, and faint moonlight shone on Mount Tailan. Wang Yan returned to his senses and put away the "Mahākāśyapa Sutra". Then, he took the two sheepskin scrolls. He saw a faint fluorescent light shining from them. The flowing light that was previously flowing along a certain path had deviated from its fixed path. The two flowing lights set off from different directions, and in the end, they both pointed to a certain place, which was Mount Tailan.
Wang Yan looked at the direction in which the flowing lights were converging. He could not help but turn the sheepskin scroll in his hand back and forth. However, no matter how he moved, the flowing lights on the two sheepskin scrolls would eventually converge at one point, pointing straight at Mount Tailan.
"Why don't we go and take a look?"
Guibo had clearly also noticed the sheepskin scroll in Wang Yan's hand. Wang Yan nodded and immediately used his movement technique to follow the flowing lights, all the way to Mount Tailan. Guibo followed closely behind him.
Mount Tailan was majestic, nearly a thousand meters high. It was much larger than Cang Mountain. However, with Wang Yan's current Lightness Skill, as long as it was not a steep cliff like Sword Greeting Mountain, he could jump up and down freely. After an unknown period of time, Wang Yan followed the direction of the sheepskin scroll and entered a secret cave at the back of the mountain. Using the faint fluorescent light emitted by the sheepskin scroll, Wang Yan found out that this cave was just an ordinary cave. However, it was so deep that he could not see the bottom, and he did not know where it led to.
Wang Yan did not think too much about it and immediately followed the cave forward. However, as he went deeper into the cave, the air in the cave became thinner, and he did not know where the hot air was coming from. Fortunately, Wang Yan had the Inner Breath Technique, so he immediately continued to move forward in the state of the living dead. Not long after, Wang Yan finally reached the end of the cave. There was actually a pool here, and the water in the pool was bubbling from time to time. There were also wisps of white smoke rising from it.
"It seems to be an underground hot spring."
Guibo also followed in. Wang Yan also understood what an underground hot spring was, but the light on the sheepskin scroll in his hand pointed to this place. What was the mystery behind it? Wang Yan pondered for a while, and finally said, "Guibo, I want to go down and take a look."
"Be careful, there are many strange places in the Five Desolate Provinces. If you find something wrong, come up quickly."
Wang Yan nodded, then tightened his clothes and plunged into the hot spring. The depths of the cave were dim, and the hot spring was so dark that one could not even see their fingers in front of them. Fortunately, the sheepskin scroll in Wang Yan's hand was impervious to the water, and with the faint fluorescent light, Wang Yan dived all the way down.
The hot spring was less than ten meters deep. Soon, Wang Yan dived to the bottom of the hot spring. The place was still ordinary, and there was nothing special about it. However, the light on the sheepskin scroll in Wang Yan's hand changed, and it once again pointed to a direction. Wang Yan followed the direction, and not long after, he found a water cave in a corner at the bottom of the spring.
The water cave was not big, and it was just big enough for one person to pass through. Wang Yan hesitated for a while, but in the end, he went in. When he entered the water cave, Wang Yan immediately found a faint light coming from the end of the water cave, and the direction of the faint light was the direction of the light on the sheepskin scroll.
Seeing this, Wang Yan did not think too much, and used all his strength to go in the direction of the faint light. Not long after, he reached the end of the water cave, and the faint light came from above the water surface. Wang Yan naturally floated up, and after a few breaths, Wang Yan emerged from the water surface, and found himself in a narrow cave. The left side of the cave was like a pond, and he was now floating in the pond, while the right side led to a stone room, and the faint light came from the stone room.
"This stone room …"
Wang Yan frowned slightly. He could see that this stone room was not natural, but man-made. However, how could there be a stone room in such a hidden place? There was almost no air in this cave, and it was hot and dry, and there was no food to be found in the surroundings. Who would build a stone room here, and what was the mystery behind it?
With doubts, Wang Yan jumped out of the pond, and then carefully walked towards the stone room. Soon, he arrived at the door of the stone room. The stone door of the stone room was wide open, and with the faint light coming from inside, Wang Yan looked around and saw everything in the stone room.
The room was not big, like a stone house a few meters square. Three sides of the room were paved with large green stones, and only the top wall was a smooth jade wall. This jade wall was quite magical, and there was a touch of blue light coming from it. The faint light that Wang Yan saw in the water was coming from this jade wall.
The whole stone room was empty, and there was no furnishings, except for a futon in the middle of the stone room, and a figure sitting on the futon. However, this person was covered in a large hooded cloak, and it was difficult to see his figure and appearance, and it was difficult to tell whether he was alive or dead.
Thump, thump, thump …
Wang Yan stood in front of the stone door and looked at this strange figure, and his heart beat wildly. Although he could not sense the Qi of the figure through his special sense, in such a strange stone room, and seeing such a strange figure, Wang Yan could not guarantee that the person in front of him was dead.
"Senior …"
Thinking of this, Wang Yan could not help but bow to the figure. However, just as he said these two words, he did not expect that at this moment, the jade wall on the top of the stone room would shine with blue light, and at the same time, an erratic voice would echo in the stone room.
