Dongyang Township.

As the saying goes, "Small chaos evades the city, and the big chaos evades the country. Although the county was slaughtered by He Zong once, the county town was almost empty, but because of its remote location, Dongyang Township is in a good condition. Except for the military rations that were extorted by the passing squad, everything else is acceptable.

Recently, there has been more vague news that the court has pacified He Zong and every family has shown their joy.

In fact, even if the chaos has not yet subsided, life has to continue.

Farmers facing the loess and facing the sky, except those who really cannot survive, rarely have the courage to abandon their own land to transfer.

After all, although acre of land is small, it is often a family business that has been saved by several generations of hard work.

After noon, a ox cart slowly drove into Dongyang Township.

The ox cart stopped in front of a house, and one person got off, his eyes narrow and long, his face firm, and he had a little gloom: "Can Guo Bairen be there?"

He went up and knocked on the door, but no one responded. He asked the naughty boy next to him, but he didn't know.

"Guo Bairen? Are you talking about Guo Hanzi? Looking at ants under the big tree in the east..."

A woodcutter passed by after hearing this, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Now there are not many who remember his real name..."

"So that's it, thank you!"

This man bowed solemnly and came to the east end of the town, and he saw a big tree from afar.

This tree requires two people to embrace it together. The ancient branches are like green dragons, which look like a huge canopy. At this time, spring buds are drawn out, with a bit of vitality.

And a man in his thirties, wearing thick linen clothes, didn't feel cold or dirty, just squatted on the ground... counting ants?

The visitor stepped forward and gave a solemn greeting: "Brother Bai Ren!?"

The man seemed to be too focused. He raised his head until he shouted two or three times before he raised his head and showed a blank look: "It's you... Li Ziyi from the county pedestrian department!"

"Yes, when old friends meet, don't you invite me to a flat meal?" Li Ziyi said: "After all, it's a blessing to survive in troubled times..."

Guo Bairen stood up. He was tall and burly, even one head higher than Li Ziyi, but his eyebrows were thick, his lips were thick, and his face was very calm, or... stupid! He scratched his head and said, "If it were normal, there would be no problem... But the rioters came several times and almost robbed all the food stored in the village, and several people died because of this... It was really impossible..."

"I just knew... Let's go, I'll invite you to drink!" Li Ziyi smiled dissatisfiedly and pulled Guo Bairen back to his house.

This is Guo Bairen's ancestral home. Although it looks good on the outside, after opening the door, it shows that it is deserted, overgrown with weeds, and there are no tables and chairs, and it is just an empty shelf.

Li Ziyi returned to the ox cart, took out broad beans, a piece of beef, and a pot of old wine.

The two of them found a piece of bluestone, sat on the ground, and started eating and drinking.

After three rounds of drinking, Li Ziyi said, "Brother Bai Ren... haven't you given up yet?"

Guo Bairen drank wine, but his face still did not change. He smiled honestly: "I have been dull since I was a child, but I just like reading. Later, I got another book of Taoism. I just felt that it was the ultimate principle of heaven and earth. I always wanted to cultivate something... Although I have been practicing for nine years, I still achieved nothing..."

Li Ziyi frowned, and he also knew the details of Guo Bairen.

This man's family was originally very wealthy, and he was the leading landlord in Dongyang Township. However, since he practiced the Dharma, he gradually fell into decline and even the land was sold out completely!

It is not a joke to be poor, rich and powerful, and to practice the law and destroy the family!

Guo Bairen himself has also become the biggest joke and prodigal son in the village, and he is called "Guo Hanzi".

"Your book is true and false, and there must be a problem with the final breakthrough method!" Li Ziyi said firmly: "Otherwise, how can it not be possible for nine years if the foundation is built in a hundred days? But this is the case with the inheritance of casual cultivators. Fortunately, you still have a foundation, and as long as you change the sect in time, it will be fine!"

After saying that, his tone became more sincere: "In my pedestrian department, some ordinary Taoist scrolls have been collected. If Brother Guo is willing to be the first to be the first, you can choose the essence and practice it, and you will definitely break through the bottleneck..."

The pedestrian department is very strict and when you go in white, you must start with the lowest level of the scriptures, but the stall is an ordinary official.

The conditions are good, because Guo Bairen has laid the foundation for three levels.

I have to say that at this time, Guo Bairen's condition was only one step away from breaking through and building a foundation into the Tao.

Of course, the 100-day foundation building of Taoism is ultimately different from martial arts.

Even though his spirit is as strong as his spirit, he has never learned the skills of killing and has not experienced the battle formation personally, and his combat power is naturally far different.

In other words, even if you have the physical and true energy that is not inferior to Ning Shouxuan, if it is just controlled by ordinary people's consciousness, then any martial arts master can defeat him and humiliate him.

This is the case for Guo Bairen at this time.

The foundation-building method of Taoist sect can at most strengthen his body and have clear ears and eyes. As for how good his martial arts are, it is simply a joke. If he does not break through to the Tao, he will not be able to cast magic!

But it is this foundation three layers that have value.

"I also know that Brother Guo is a talented person and may not be willing to serve as a stubborn person, but I am only a stubborn person... However, this time, the 100 households in the ninth rank of the county were killed by rioters. As long as you and I work together, they may be able to rise to the next level, and the future will be bright!" Li Ziyi was still persuading.

Guo Bairen still looked dumbfounded. After a long time, he picked up the wine bowl and finished drinking it in one breath. He said, "I am born to like reading, not anything else, I just like it. Later, I saw that Taoist Dharma, and it was the same... Ziyi, if you are my confidant, you should know that I just like the Mountain Jiuren Jue!"

"For the mountain, my efforts were in vain. Hey... you were deceived!" Li Ziyi's face turned red and his voice gradually became louder: "What kind of exercise takes nine years to lay the foundation? How many nine years will there be in life?"

"Maybe..." Guo Bairen smiled "simple": "But nine years of cultivation have become part of my life, and I really can't bear to leave it... What's more, even if you devote yourself to the court and you can get other Taoist laws to break through to Taoism, but if you are under the position, you will be hindered by the official spirit. Perhaps you have no hope of breaking through the soul in this life and cannot transcend. Just a Taoist official is good for all parties... But I am not willing to give up..."

Li Ziyi kept silent.

Guo Bairen does have inner wisdom, and has almost seen through everything, and the little plot in his heart.

At this time, I put down the wine bowl and my expression suddenly became cold: "Brother Guo is really stubborn?"

"I am a big fool who has not been able to build a foundation for nine years. Will the court pay attention?" Guo Bairen smiled: "What's more, I am alone, my parents have gone long ago, my tribe members are disgusted, my family property is ruined, and the villagers think they are idiots, and even my fiancée runs away with others..."

This is actually saying that he has no scruples at all.

Hearing this, Li Ziyi's pupils couldn't help but shrink into needle holes.

Indeed, with the body of a master, as long as Guo Bairen makes up his mind, even if he just finds this third-rate martial arts secret, he can become a martial arts master. Without it, he has a deep foundation!

As long as he is determined to backfire and has no scruples, it will be difficult for him to win and it is very dangerous. Who knows if he has practiced martial arts secretly?

And as Guo Bairen said, except for vaguely seeing something, what if he reports to his superiors that he wants to suppress a Taoist idiot who has not been able to get started for nine years?

I'm afraid the first person the boss will deal with is Li Ziyi himself!

"Oh...Brother Bairen, why are you?" Li Ziyi stood up and bounced the dust: "I'll go first, come and visit you another day. I wish you success as soon as possible!"

After saying these implicit threatening words, he bowed and went out.

...

"Brother... is this the person you are going to recruit?"

Outside the wall, Ye Zhiyu couldn't help but ask in confusion when he saw these through a mysterious mirror.

"That's right!" Duan Yu exclaimed: "This is a true talent and beauty. In time, it will surely soar into the sky!"

The Taoist Technique for Mountain Jiuren was also a Taoist Technique that was famous for being accompanied by Guo Bairen in his previous life.

This method focuses on the foundation, and it is like a dam storing water. Once the gate is opened to discharge the flood, it will be unstoppable!

Guo Bairen has been laying the foundation for nine years, but has cultivated himself into the soul for ten years, which is not inferior to the genius such as Wang Jianzhi, which is a clear proof.

"Zhiyu, I ask you, can you work hard towards a goal, even if there is no feedback, last for nine years?" Duan Yu asked back, which immediately made Ye Zhiyu stunned.

Seeing this, Duan Yu couldn't help but smile.

It is precisely because of the difficulties that this perseverance seems to be valuable.

The foundation of this Dharma is like a mountain of five mountains and difficult to break through, no matter how you practice it.

But in essence, it turned day after day into a trace of energy accumulation, waiting for a burst of time, so if you don’t make a sound, you’ll make a splash!

Without a little bit of Yugong's spirit, it is impossible to practice this Taoist Dharma to the greatest success.

Even after Guo Bairen became famous, few Taoists dared to choose this technique, and were all frightened by the inner demons. In fact, even if the scared Taoist can cultivate to the unobstructed Taoist body, they will definitely not be able to overcome the inner demons and form the soul!

But Guo Bairen can undoubtedly do it!

Because during the process of laying the foundation, he had already forged a flawless heart of Tao! Naturally, there is no need to say much about this to help future cultivation.

"well……"

After Li Ziyi left, Guo Bairen was slowly stunned at the wine and food on the stone.

"Brother Guo, do you mind having another visitor?"

After a moment, he looked up in shock and saw a young man wearing a moon-white robe and a bamboo crown on his head, with a demeanor, coming to his face.

"I'm really worried. I'm about to move!" Guo Bairen replied calmly.

"It's really troublesome to be evil in the county pedestrian department... Especially this person is very likely to take over as a hundred households. If you use any means at that time, Brother Guo will be in a dilemma..."

Duan Yu was extremely thick-skinned and sat down on her own: "I want to go far away, how about you going to surrender to me?"

Behind him, Ye Zhiyu widened his eyes and then felt the urge to cover his face.
