Heaven and Earth revolves without beginning or end, all things rise and fall, but I am immortal!
Heaven and Earth Shifting was actually the highest mental cultivation method in the Art of Heaven and Earth, and this was the last sentence of the highest mental cultivation method. It was also the last sentence of the entire Art of Heaven and Earth. It could be said to be the core of the entire Art of Heaven and Earth.
In the beginning, Niu Youdao did not understand what these words meant. However, as he cultivated the cultivation method step by step, he finally understood.
The general meaning was: No matter how the universe revolves, only those who can truly stand in the center will not be disturbed by the beginning and end. No matter how strong or weak everything around me is, I will be here!
After Niu Youdao understood, he found it very interesting. He realized that the core of the Art of Heaven and Earth was the path of balance. The highest mental cultivation method was not offense, but defense!
In any case, Niu Youdao understood that he was still far from the state of 'Heaven and Earth revolves without beginning or end, all things rise and fall, but I am immortal'.
Seeing Black Peony's doubtful expression, Niu Youdao smiled and waved his hand. "Alright, go do what you need to do. I'll be alone for a while."
"Yes!" Black Peony replied and left, looking back three times with every step.
Niu Youdao sat cross-legged on the spot, quietly thinking about what had happened just now.
While he was comprehending, Yuan Fang floated over and shouted, "Daoye!"
Niu Youdao came back to his senses and tilted his head to look at him. He knew that Yuan Fang would not disturb him if there was nothing important and waited for him to finish.
Yuan Fang did not say anything. "News from the Bei Prefecture." He sat on the side and handed over a translated secret letter.
Niu Youdao took it and read it. He frowned slightly. "Lu Shengzhong was captured?"
Yuan Fang shook his head indignantly. "He even betrayed me. I already knew that guy was unreliable."
Niu Youdao shook his head. "You monster, be more magnanimous. There's no need to be calculative about this. I'm not surprised that he betrayed me. He didn't gain anything from me, and he has no reason to die for me. Even ants are greedy for life. It's understandable for him to protect himself. What I found strange was that it was precisely because this fellow cherished his life that he was so careful to protect himself. How could he have been captured so carelessly? He's already taken Shao Liu 'er and Tan Yaoxian away, yet he still let those two commoners escape. Not only that, he himself was easily captured by them. There must be some unforeseen event that he didn't expect. "
Yuan Fang: "Fortunately, Wei Duo received the news in time and cut off the trail. Otherwise, Wei Duo would be in trouble."
Niu Youdao muttered to himself, "This matter started because of Tang Yi. I wonder if the Great Zen Mountain will allow the Shanghai Sect to continue staying in the Bei Zhou after such a thing happened …"
Yuan Fang rolled his eyes and asked in a sly tone, "I heard that Shao Pingbo is pursuing that … Daoye. Do you want Great Zen Mountain to chase Shangqing Sect out of Bei Zhou?"
Niu Youdao turned around and gave him a sidelong glance. "Slap yourself!"
Smack! Yuan Fang immediately slapped himself and chuckled mischievously. "I'm talking nonsense. I'm talking nonsense."
"You're always acting like a thief. If you have the time, you should spend more effort on cultivation and raise your cultivation level. Now that you have such good cultivation conditions, others can't even beg for it. What are you busy with all day long? "
"I know, I know. I'm diligent in cultivation and have improved a lot recently. I think I'm not far from breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm."
Niu Youdao knew that his cultivation progress was fast. He was also surprised by this. He realized that this demon had been listening to Buddhism in Nanshan Temple for many years, and the cultivation technique he comprehended on his own in the mountains was actually very unusual. He couldn't tell because he had never used cultivation resources before. Now that he had them, his progress had truly improved by leaps and bounds.
He asked about the situation, but this demon himself couldn't explain it clearly. After thinking about it for a while, he gave an explanation that he firmly believed in. Buddha blessed him!
This actually left Niu Youdao speechless. This demon's life was saved by a Buddhist disciple, and he entered the path of cultivation after listening to Buddha's voice. Who could say that Buddha did not bless him?
Even so, Niu Youdao was afraid that he would become arrogant, so he still wanted to put him down. "Don't give me that. Do you think I don't know that you spent more time chanting with those monks than cultivating?"
Yuan Fang lowered his head and fiddled with the small stones on the ground. "Chanting Buddhist scriptures is the fastest way to cultivate!"
Niu Youdao couldn't criticize Yuan Fang for his faith. He couldn't explain it clearly, so he changed the topic. "Inform the people of the three sects. Ask the people who went to the Song Nation to come back."
Before Lu Shengzhong made his move in Bei Zhou, he had sent a message to the three sects to receive him. The three sects immediately sent people over.
Now that there was clearly no need to receive them, they could only ask the people who were on the way to return.
"Oh!" Yuan Fang got up and left quickly.
Niu Youdao also stood up and left the valley. When he passed by a mountainside, he stopped and saw that on a piece of flat land at the foot of the mountain, there were more than two hundred youths dressed in the same grey clothes. They stood in a straight line, braving the scorching sun.
Yuan Gang stood in front of the group with his hands behind his back. Feng, Lin, Huo, and Shan were among the group of youths, helping to correct their posture.
Inadvertently seeing Niu Youdao halfway up the mountain, Yuan Feng ran in front of Yuan Gang and pointed behind him. No one knew what he said, but Yuan Gang turned around and saw that it was Niu Youdao. He immediately turned around and walked over.
"Daoye!" Yuan Gang approached and greeted.
Niu Youdao said, "I heard that you've been back for a while?"
Yuan Gang said, "I heard that you were cultivating, so I didn't go over to disturb you."
Niu Youdao raised his chin at the foot of the mountain. "These are the people you recruited?"
Yuan Gang nodded. "I wanted to assign a hundred people to each of Big Stick and the others, but after walking around, maybe because the nutrition is not enough and it's not easy to find suitable seedlings, I only assigned about eighty people to each of them."
Niu Youdao chuckled. "Yuan Fang has a problem with you. He's already nagged me several times that you're teaching these kids how to cook."
Yuan Gang said, "High-intensity training won't do if they can't keep up with the nutrition. Those monks under him brew wine and chant sutras all around Daoye. If they take care of the food for so many people, they won't be able to keep up. It's only right for them to take care of themselves. When I get back, I'll ask them to open up wastelands downstream and plant crops. I'll also set up a place to raise pigs. Don't waste the residue for brewing wine. Give it to me, it's suitable for raising pigs. I believe it won't be long before they become self-sufficient. "
Niu Youdao's mouth twitched. He chuckled. "You really don't forget to grow vegetables no matter where you go. I heard that you often teach them? "
Yuan Gang knew what he was worried about. "Don't worry, I won't teach them too much for now and cause trouble here. However, they're all children from poor families who haven't gone to school. Some basic knowledge still needs to be taught. If they're too ignorant, they won't be able to teach them well. They should at least be literate. How can they not even know how to read when they go out? "
Niu Youdao said, "I know you like this, but don't just focus on these kids. Pay attention to the things outside as well. If something happens, you'll know how to deal with it. Also, I'll leave the intelligence gathering at Mount Five Liang to you. "
Yuan Gang nodded. "Don't worry, I haven't let it go."
"Sigh, you have to control yourself. Let's go take a look at Mount Five Liang together." Niu Youdao patted him on the shoulder and turned to leave.
He did not know what to do with Yuan Gang. In this world where cultivators were respected, what was the point of messing around like this? He really had no place to put his energy.
Yuan Gang gestured to the people at the foot of the mountain to let them train by themselves. He turned around and followed behind Niu Youdao.
There were many caves cut into the mountain wall. It was where Mount Five Liang was located. Golden Wings could be seen flying in and out from time to time.
The sect leader of Mount Five Liang, Gongsun Bu, came out to greet them. Niu Youdao wanted to take a look, so Gongsun Bu led him inside.
Putting aside the cultivation and living quarters of the sect, Niu Youdao focused on the intelligence.
In a few stone chambers where the golden wings were placed, Niu Youdao checked the large number of golden wings that he had spent a lot of money to buy. From time to time, disciples of Mount Five Liang would come in to send messages.
The messages that came were quickly sent to another stone chamber. After being specially copied, they were transferred to another stone chamber and sorted out and stored for easy reference.
Yuan Gang had a place to work here. The intelligence process here was also planned by Yuan Gang. He knew what Niu Youdao wanted.
After walking out of the cave with Gongsun Bu, they stopped outside the cave. Niu Youdao suddenly said, "Lu Shengzhong was captured by Shao Pingbo in Bei Zhou. He has already betrayed us …" He summarized the general situation because there were some things that did not need to be known.
When Gongsun Bu heard this, his face completely darkened. How could he endure having disciples who betrayed him one after another in the sect?
"I'll send people to clean up the sect!" Gongsun Bu said hatefully.
Niu Youdao waved his hand. "There's no need for that. Let's take a look first. What's more, Great Zen Mountain is in Bei Zhou. Your Mount Five Liang can't do anything to them. If you go there, you'll just be humiliating yourself. I'm letting you know so that you know what's going on. Don't let anyone else know about this for now. I'll take a look at the situation. "
"Daoye, every family has its rules, and every sect has its rules!" Gongsun Bu reminded him.
Everyone here called Niu Youdao 'Daoye'. Mount Five Liang was attached to him, so it didn't seem appropriate to call him anything else. He also changed the way he addressed him. However, it felt weird and awkward to call him 'Daoye' at such an old age.
"Rules are for the good of the sect. As long as it benefits Mount Five Liang, why not?" Niu Youdao asked.
Gongsun Bu was silent.
At this moment, Black Peony flew over and quickly reported, "Daoye, Prince and the others are here. They want to see you."
Niu Youdao immediately bade farewell and left quickly. It wasn't appropriate to keep Shang Chaozong waiting for too long.
Shang Chaozong and the others stopped near the training ground of Yuan Gang's subordinates.
A group of kids were running obstacles, climbing over wooden walls, jumping into deep pits and climbing out. They rushed over a wooden bridge and crawled under the Earth Net.
Meng Shan Ming also came. He sat in a wheelchair and stared at the situation on the training ground. His expression gradually turned serious.
Shang Chaozong's gaze also showed great concern.
The two generals seemed to have noticed something was off.
Lan Ruoting and Shang Shuqing were fine. In fact, one of the reasons why Meng Shan Ming also came in a wheelchair was because he heard from Shang Shuqing that Yuan Gang brought a group of youths over. They seemed to be training soldiers too. However, they didn't practice weapons or formations. The training method seemed a little strange.
