Chapter XXV Dharma Natural

"Lil 'Six, there's a letter for you!" With the sound of a horse, a middle-aged man riding a Scarlet Wind Horse stopped in front of Little Six's shop. After throwing down an envelope, he turned around and sped back along the road as if he was being followed by someone.

A serious look flashed across the eyes of Lil 'Six, who was sitting behind the counter. Ma Liang, why did you come here from Longyan City just to deliver a letter for him?

Previously, when Long Yu wanted to investigate the situation of the battle at the border, he'd gathered this information through Ma Liang. When he first sent the message, he would usually pass it to the passing merchants. He had never specifically delivered it before, and this time, Ma Liang was in such a rush!

The more he thought, the more panicking he became, and without bothering to guess what exactly happened to Ma Liang, he hastily opened the envelope. The letter only had one page, and the numbers on it were: Long Shi Wei [1], Mu Residence's imposing aura was like a rainbow, the border could be broken in three days, fool brother should quickly leave Yongan and escape to a safe place, do not be greedy for money!

The moment his eyes fell on the last few words, the letter in his hand fell onto the ground! In an instant, Little Six forgot the pain of the whip marks on his chest and chased after them like crazy. However, there was no sign of that rider in his sight on the noisy street!

"Bastard!" Lil 'Six gritted his teeth as they made thumping sounds. Ma Liang left so quickly, not even giving them time to ask what exactly happened!

What should he do now? Three days! Three days! In the end, what Long Yu said had still happened!

Large drops of sweat appeared on his forehead as he looked at the sunny street, where everyone seemed to be strolling leisurely. He seemed to be enjoying himself, talking and laughing non-stop, but Little Six could not get happy no matter what …

How many years had it been? The peaceful life in Yongan city was about to be broken!

What should he do now? Flee? For Little Six and the rest, there was nothing to worry about. At most, they could just clean up the mess and flee in the middle of the night. But for the others?

One figure after another appeared before his eyes: Xiao Yi, Fatty, and Long Yu! Little Yi and the others were still fine, they wouldn't need more than half a day to notify them. But Long Yu? He spent so much effort to disguise as a pharmacist to sneak into the City Lord's Mansion.

No! He had to notify Long Yu as soon as possible. Somehow, after experiencing yesterday's events, Little Six had imperceptibly become like Little Yi and Fatty, treating Long Yu as their pillar of support, and some matters would require his decision.

Inside the quiet City Lord's Mansion, Long Yu and Shi Cai walked in a line, one in front and one behind. They followed the path that was paved with stone tablets and walked towards the southeast direction of the mansion …

Along the way, there were many fake mountains and numerous pavilions. Small bridges were flowing, and the sound of water could be heard incessantly. The only sound that could be heard was that of the chirping of insects and the chirping of birds. With a smile, Shi Yan stood on top of a decorated pavilion in the middle of the garden and pointed to a lifelike relief on the coffin. "Pharmacist, what do you think of the scenery of the City Lord's Mansion?"

Looking back, Long Yu's face was covered in a layer of cold light. He didn't seem to have any intention of responding. Shi Hao laughed in embarrassment, and then turned around to spin a stone chair clockwise not far away. With a rumbling sound, a secret passageway appeared on the ground, and a moist breath rushed over.

"Don't worry, the alchemist. This is the treasure house of the Shi family. In order to hide this from others, you must use some tricks to make the alchemist laugh …" In order to dispel the doubt between Long Yu's brows, Shi Yu took the lead to enter the underground passage.

The moment he saw the underground passage, the blood in Long Yu's entire body began to boil. The Four Symbols Grass and the Four Symbols Grass were below him. His goal for coming here was accomplished, how could he not be excited?

Forcefully suppressing his surging emotions, Long Yu followed behind Shi Cai and slowly walked down. The passage was extremely narrow and could only allow two people to walk side by side. The moss on both sides of the wall was deep, and from time to time a few wet worms would slip by.

At this moment, Long Yu was clearly no longer in the mood to care about these things. After a dozen or so steps back, everything suddenly became clear in front of his eyes. A space the size of two houses appeared before his eyes. On the left side of his arm were two rows of bookshelves. On the bookshelves, there were countless secret manuals. With a single glance, he could tell that there were at least dozens of them. On the other bookshelf were different shaped weapons. Although they were already sheathed, the gems embedded into the hilt of the swords emitted a bloodthirsty cold light, causing the entire space to tremble!

After a cursory glance, Long Yu's gaze instantly fell on the oddly-shaped items on the right side, the copper mirror, the medicine bottle, and the teacups … And lush and verdant plants! At this moment, it was firmly entrenched in Long Yu's line of sight and could no longer be dispersed!

In his head, he saw a description of the four-elephant grass: its roots and stems were like the bamboo, its sheaths and leaves were like the reed, while its leaves were green and light, soft and tough, old and new, the four seasons changed, grass, leaves, irrigation, soil, blending into the environment, changing in many directions …

However, Long Yu's gaze continued to move back and forth between the medicinal plants in front of him more than ten times. Moreover, Long Yu even went up and touched them with his hands, but the medicinal plants before his eyes clearly didn't have the slightest change. At first, Long Yu thought that he was mistaken. The Four Symbols Grass was an extremely good camouflage, able to disguise itself as another plant, but now …

"How is it? Did the pharmacist take a fancy to that herb?" Shi Jian looked at Long Yu, who had been silent all this time, and asked with a smile.

He covered the sadness in his eyes and pointed at the herb in front of him from left to right. He spoke in a gentle voice, "This is Unaffected Grass, it can expel ordinary poison. This is Green Grass, used to calm one's heart and calm one's mind, this is …" "This is …" One after another, they passed by. Long Yu was only here to answer his questions before responding to Shi Yan's question. He told him what kind of medicinal herbs they were and didn't have any intention of coveting them.

Only now did Shi Cai panic. "Since the alchemist is so familiar with it, why not send it over? It would be a waste to leave it here …"

However, Long Yu interrupted him before he could finish, "I already said that Master will allow me to pick the herbs myself. You're not allowed to receive gifts from others …" With that, Long Yu turned around and walked outside, ignoring all Shi Cai could do to persuade him.

No! Since the Four Symbols Grass wasn't here, where else could it be?

Long Yu's mind quickly recalled the things Li Hai had told him about the City Lord's Mansion, its various large and small sizes, its layout, and the peculiar parts of it. The garden Long Yu was currently in was called the forbidden area, and servants were not allowed to enter. Other than this, what other place in the City Lord's Mansion would Shi Yong be afraid of?

After shaking off the stone figure, Long Yu buried his head deep within his body as he aimlessly walked down the road in front of him. Unknowingly, he'd walked to the side of a small pond, and a burst of cheers caused Long Yu to come back to his senses.

On the empty ground, a group of young men and women dressed in unified white robes were seated in an orderly manner. They were precisely the young men's vanguard team that had just been formed! When they saw a figure suddenly appear in the arena, everyone's gazes instantly shot over …

Cheng Qing, who was sitting at the front of the crowd, had a fierce look in his eyes when he saw Long Yu. It was this kid that caused him to suffer an unexpected calamity at the market yesterday.

"Oh, look, he's that pharmacist from the Medicine God Valley … "So small …" Pointing at Long Yu, some of the young girls were already chattering away.

"Don't talk nonsense, he is a genius, I heard that he can even refine Origin Gathering Pills …" A young girl with a pale and quiet face said with envy.

"..."

Shi Gao and Jia Youcai looked at each other and then put down the crowd in front of them. They took the lead and walked towards Long Yu.

"Shut up! "Don't argue!" Cheng Qing shouted at the whispering crowd. Two days ago, he was the most dazzling genius of Yongan city, his deeds were read all over the streets and alleys. In just a day's time, the main character had changed to the person in front of him.

"Even alchemists are interested in martial arts?" Jia Youcai broke the deadlock and asked.

After last night's incident, Shi Gao said in a flattering tone, "If the pharmacist is interested, why not come and listen? Brother Jia, after ripping Master Ma apart, you have a deep understanding of the way of nature. " The young man in front of him had already stepped into the Stone Mirror Realm. If he wanted to turn the fossils into ice, he would have to comprehend the Dao of nature. If he were to talk about the Dao of nature, he would have to put in a lot of effort for Jia Youcai.

It was impossible to say that one's heart couldn't be moved by martial dao. Long Yu slightly nodded his head and followed Shi Gao.

The smile in Jia Youcai's eyes became even more pronounced when Long Yu barged in. All the pharmacists in the Medicine God Valley had heard him preach before. In the future, his reputation would probably not be any worse than his own master's. He straightened his clothes and pointed at the water in the pool. Water is good for all things, but it is not for all things. It is for all things evil, and therefore it is for all things good. Even the best needs to see the Dao of Water and understand the Heart of Water before one can touch upon the Dao of Nature … "

They were chattering nonstop, but after just a few sentences, Long Yu couldn't help but wrinkle his eyebrows! Through these years of being taught by Long Taichuan, the knowledge about 'Dao' that revolved in Long Yu's mind was probably hard to come by even if there were ten Jia Youcai's, right …

All living things in the universe had their own paths of survival. All living things were bred together without being harmful to each other. The paths were parallel to one another and did not contradict each other. Different paths freely grew and dictated their paths, and these were all paths of nature that could not be grasped simply by observing the state of water. Moreover, all things are different, and the heart of nature must be vastly different. The heart is the Lord, and the body follows. Refining the Dao was not just refining the Houtian level air, but also the god of the Yin and Yang of heaven and earth, a true cycle, and an aura of good fortune.

Since he was cultivating his heart, then he might as well let go of his heart. The world was filled with: the world of sounds and sounds, the land of fame and fortune. Everyone was happy with their suffering, and true with their lies. Losing vital essence drains away energy, cutting away lives, cutting off years to cut off lives, only death. If I can comprehend, then I am the most human being; if I am lustful but not greedy, if I am poor but not lowly, then I will follow my own heart and allow it to develop. I will see myself as a bystander, and step by step I will strengthen my own heart in order to have stability.

Long Yu understood all of this. What he lacked was experience, the experience of his life!

"Oh?" Jia Youcai's words were rising in excitement, Long Yu's expression couldn't help but arouse some doubts in his heart. "What, if there's anything that the pharmacist doesn't understand, you can just bring it up …"

"Tsk, he hasn't even stepped into the Stone Mirror Realm yet, and he's still here to listen to the dao!" Cheng Qing sneered, but there was no response from the crowd.

Standing up, Long Yu shook his head. "What he said is right. The Dao of nature is too deep, I'm still unable to comprehend it for the time being. Let's just let nature take its course …" With this sentence, Long Yu deliberately spoke the words' let nature take its course 'extremely slowly, hoping that Jia You would be able to understand the meaning behind his words.

However, Jia Youcai just waved his hand proudly, "It's alright, it's fine. The path of nature, its true essence is endless, it's not like I can understand it in one or two days, Brother Yao, please go ahead and do it."

After Long Yu left, a burst of ridiculing laughter sounded out from the side of the small pond. The laughter shot straight into the clouds, startling and dispersing the trees of the flying birds …
