His master, Ren Yao, is buried in the tomb. 。Ge Dongxu began practicing with him at the age of eight and continued until Ren Yao passed away at the age of fourteen. 。Now, Ren Yao has been dead for two years, and Ge Dongxu is already sixteen years old. 。Because I was accepted into the county high school, I'm going to the county tomorrow. Today, I came specially to bid farewell to my master. 。When it came to Master Ren Yao, although Ge Dongxu had practiced with him for six years, he knew very little about his life. Even his name, he only learned just before the master passed away. 。Since Ge Dongxu knew his master, his master had been a sometimes-divine, sometimes-demented old man. 。Ren Yao didn't often appear in the village. Most of the time, she lived in an abandoned temple deep in Baiyun Mountain. 。Occasionally visiting my hometown, I usually find it a bit chaotic. 。The children in the mountain village were mischievous. Seeing the old man acting strangely, they giggled and chased after him, throwing rotten fruit paste at him. 。Ge Dongxu was kind and gentle, unlike other children who were mischievous. When his playmates threw things at the elderly for amusement, he would always step forward to protect Ren Yao. 。In the end, it was he who was thrown and left covered in filth. 。One time, when Ge Dongxu was protecting Ren Yao and got thrown into a mess again, Ren Yao suddenly woke up. She chased away the children and looked at Ge Dongxu for a long time. Then, she asked, "Would you be willing to become my disciple and practice with me"Ge Dongxu wanted to shake his head, but seeing Ren Yao's white hair and tattered clothes, he felt pity for her. Against his will, he nodded and agreed. 。Ren Yao was overjoyed and immediately took Ge Dongxu to meet her parents, wanting to formally accept Ge Dongxu as her disciple. 。Of course Ge Dongxu's parents wouldn't let their son worship a crazy old man as his master, even though he seemed normal at the time. 。,After that, Ge Dongxu's parents made a major decision and allowed their son to apprentice under Ren Yao, the old man who was sometimes insane and sometimes lucid. 。,Although Ren Yao mostly remains lucid, he hardly remembers anything from his past and has no idea what his name is. 。Later, Ge Dongxu's parents found a scar on Ren Yao's back of the head and guessed that he must have had some brain trauma, which was why he behaved this way. They wanted to take Ren Yao to the county hospital for a check-up, but Ren Yao was very stubborn and refused to go. There was nothing they could do. 。Fortunately, Ren Yao, besides occasional moments of confusion, remembered her cultivation practice even though she couldn't recall anything from her past. 。He taught Ge Dongxu how to paint talismans, how to recognize various herbs, and how to identify acupuncture points. He even taught him how to breathe and cultivate Qi. 。When teaching these things, Ren Yao always took Ge Dongxu to the dilapidated Taoist temple on the mountain and forbade his parents from watching. 。Fortunately, after Ge Dongxu followed Ren Yao to practice cultivation, not only did he never get sick again, but he also seemed to become extraordinarily smart and quick-witted. He learned anything much faster than other children his age, and was also much stronger than them. 。Thus, Ge Dongxu's parents also followed Ren Yao to teach their son. Sometimes they felt a little curious, but thinking that Ren Yao should be an extraordinary person from the Jianghu, with his own rules, they held back and didn't ask Ge Dongxu what he learned from Ren Yao. 。As long as the son is healthy, everything else is secondary. 。Two summers ago, Ren Yao finally couldn't resist the ravages of time and passed away. 。In his final moments, perhaps as a reflection, he suddenly remembered some past events. 。It's a pity that the time he had was too short. Ge Dongxu only learned about some things intermittently, and it wasn't until then that Ge Dongxu found out his master's name. 。Remembering bits and pieces of his past with his master, Ge Dongxu was momentarily lost in thought until the wine in his porcelain cup overflowed. Only then did he snap back to reality, wiping a tear from his eye corner. He picked up the porcelain cup filled with flower-scented rice wine and poured it before Ren Yao's grave. Then, he lifted his own cup and drained it in one gulp. 。A flush of color, tinged with youthful innocence, rose on her simple features, but quickly faded away. 。"Master, after you left, I have diligently practiced every day without slacking off." 。I do not flaunt the skills you taught me in front of others, nor do I use them for evil. 。Rest assured, no matter where I go, I will always keep your teachings in mind. 。“As he spoke, Ge Dongxu poured another bowl of flower wine for Ren Yao and drank one himself. He also ate some seeds.” 。"Oh, by the way, Master told you some good news. This morning during practice, I finally broke through to the third level of Qi Refining." 。You definitely didn't expect my progress to be this much, did you It's all thanks to that gossip furnace pendant you left me. 。There is another world within, containing the lifelong cultivation insights of my Dan Fu school's ancestor Ge Hong, and a complete copy of "The Classic of Nine Essences, Huapu." 。It's a pity that this discovery came too late. Had it come sooner, perhaps you would have found inspiration in this scroll of the Tao Te Ching and not left your disciple so hastily. 。"Ge Dongxu said, taking down a small peach wood sword pendant from his neck. The peach wood pendant looked ordinary, but as Ge Dongxu touched it, a streak of green flowed on its surface, emitting the fragrance of sandalwood." 。Actually, there was also another ancient-looking gossip furnace pendant hanging on it originally. It was left to him by Ren Yao when she passed away. 。Once, Ge Dongxu accidentally dripped a drop of his essence onto it. The gossip furnace unexpectedly reacted with him, and without a trace, he disappeared. 。However, at the same time, Ge Dongxu's mind inexplicably gained a lot of knowledge related to cultivation, with the most being knowledge about alchemy and elixir refining. 。Originally, Ge Dongxu had trained with his master Ren Yao for six years before he just barely broke through to the second level of Qi Refining. Since obtaining the cultivation knowledge from the八卦爐 pendant and practicing the complete version of 《The Nine Profound Scriptures of Holding Simplicity》, his cultivation speed increased dramatically. In just two years, he had broken through to the third level of Qi Refining. 。。
