Chapter 1037 [The Untamed 11]
“I wonder what these doctrines say?” Wei Wuxian asked with interest.
Xue Yang scratched his head and replied somewhat embarrassedly: "In fact, the two of us don't know much about these Taos. We just heard Master mention some of them occasionally, and we are not very clear about the others."
Jiang Cheng became even more curious after hearing this, and asked, "So what kind of Taoism did you two follow?"
Jin Guangyao smiled slightly and said softly: "I entered the way of killing, and my senior brother entered the way of swordsmanship."
Jiang Cheng widened his eyes, looked at them suspiciously, and asked in confusion: "Why didn't you join the same sect?"
Xue Yang explained: "Master doesn't follow the same path as us."
Jiang Cheng's curiosity was completely aroused, and he quickly asked, "What kind of Tao did that young lady follow?"
At this moment, two different voices sounded at the same time.
"Of course." This was Xue Yang's answer.
"Xiaoyao Dao." Jin Guangyao said immediately.
Jiang Cheng was completely confused and couldn't help but yell, "What on earth is this? Why are you two saying different things?"
Jin Guangyao thought for a moment and said, "Hmm... Master seems to be the primary Free and Easy Way, and the secondary Natural Way."
“Can one person enter two paths?” Wei Wuxian asked doubtfully.
"It seems that we can only join one path, but we are not very clear about the situation of our master." Xue Yang scratched his head and answered uncertainly.
"Then how much do you know about the esophagus?" Jiang Yanli suddenly interrupted.
"Well..." Xue Yang hesitated for a moment, then continued, "We don't really know much about the esophagus. At the beginning, our master just asked us which path we wanted to choose, and then gave each of us a cultivation manual, letting us practice on our own. She would occasionally give us some guidance, but it was only a few words."
"Oh, so that's how it is." Jiang Yanli nodded thoughtfully, then turned to the others and said, "Then let's go ask grandma after school. Maybe she can explain it to us."
So, after school, the five of them came to Youyou's residence together. When they saw Youyou, the five of them bowed respectfully, and then Jiang Yanli said, "Auntie, we heard from Junior Brother Xue and Junior Brother Jin that one of them entered the Way of Sword and the other entered the Way of Killing, so we wanted to ask you, what exactly is this Way?"
"You want to ask which path is suitable for each of you." Youyou raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said with a smile.
Jiang Yanli, Jiang Cheng, and Wei Wuxian looked at each other, then nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Youyou continued, "Tao represents different paths of practice and pursuits. So, what exactly do you want to know?"
Jiang Yanli spoke first: "Aunt, I like cooking, and Junior Brother Xue said I can enter the esophagus." There was a hint of anticipation in her voice.
Upon hearing this, Youyou frowned slightly, as if she was thinking about something. After a while, she slowly said, "The esophagus is indeed a unique path. But it is not easy to cultivate, and requires great patience and perseverance. However, once you cultivate to perfection, you will have an indestructible body, as hard as iron."
After Jiang Yanli heard this, her eyes lit up and she seemed a little excited: "Really? Auntie!"
Youyou smiled slightly and nodded: "But this is not easy. Are you sure you want to choose this path?"
Jiang Yanli answered without hesitation: "Yes, aunt, I just want to enter the esophagus."
Seeing this, Youyou said nothing more and just sighed softly: "Well, since you have made up your mind, I can't persuade you anymore. I hope you won't regret your choice in the future."
After that, Youyou took out a jade slip from her bosom and slowly placed it close to Jiang Yanli's forehead. The jade slip seemed to have a life of its own and suddenly flew into Jiang Yanli's sea of consciousness and disappeared.
Jiang Yanli felt so many new things appearing in her mind, and she instantly felt extremely happy.
Jiang Cheng looked at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but feel curious. He shouted anxiously: "Auntie, what about me? What about me? What kind of path is suitable for me?"
Youyou smiled slightly, looked at the sword in Jiang Cheng's hand, and asked, "Do you have a sword?"
Jiang Cheng nodded quickly, took out his sword "Three Poisons", showed it to Youyou, and said, "Yes, grandma, this is my sword."
Youyou looked at the "Three Poisons" for a while, then said thoughtfully: "Well, then do you want to consider entering the Free and Easy Way?"
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng asked in confusion, "Free and Easy Way? Why not Sword Way? I think I have a talent for Sword Way."
Youyou patiently explained: "The Free and Easy Way is actually more suitable for you. It emphasizes an unfettered and free state of mind, which is more in line with your personality."
After Jiang Cheng heard this, he thought for a moment and felt that what Youyou said made some sense, so he said readily, "Well, auntie, I have decided to enter the free and easy way."
Youyou smiled and nodded, then took out another jade slip from her bosom and gently placed it close to Jiang Cheng's forehead. The moment the jade slip touched Jiang Cheng's forehead, it disappeared as if it was sucked away by an invisible force.
Jiang Cheng felt that something suddenly appeared in his mind, but it seemed that it was difficult for him to understand. He frowned and asked in confusion, "Auntie, what does this free and easy way follow? Why do I feel a little confused?"
Youyou smiled and consoled him, "Don't worry. The way of freedom is to follow your heart. Don't be restricted by too many rules and constraints. Keep a free heart. Only in this way can you truly comprehend the essence of the way of freedom."
"I understand, auntie." Jiang Cheng seemed to understand.
“Wei Wuxian, what about you? What kind of Taoism do you want to follow?” Youyou asked softly with a smile on her face.
Wei WuXian bowed slightly and replied modestly, "I don't know, I hope you can explain it to me."
Seeing this, Youyou raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and said with a half-smile: "Didn't I tell you to call me auntie like Cheng'er and Yanli? Since you are my niece and nephew's husband, and you are my adopted son, it's not too much to call me auntie. Of course, if you feel uncomfortable, you can call me Teacher Yu."
Wei WuXian thought for a moment, then said loudly, “Teacher Yu.”
Youyou nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "Do you have any handy weapons?"
Wei Wuxian quickly replied, “Yes, this is the sword my adoptive father gave me, named Suibian.” After that, he carefully pulled his sword out of the scabbard and presented it to Youyou.
Youyou looked closely and saw that the sword was pitch black with a faint cold glow. The hilt was inlaid with a blue gem, which was shining with a mysterious light. She couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a great sword!"
However, Youyou's eyes were suddenly attracted by the sword. She stared at it for a moment and asked in surprise: "Does your sword have a sword spirit?"
Wei WuXian showed a delighted expression and nodded, “That’s right, it cultivated itself.”
A trace of admiration flashed in Youyou's eyes, and he said slowly: "It seems that your sword has its own opportunity."
“Why don’t you also practice the Free and Easy Way?” Youyou said to Wei Wuxian with a smile, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
Wei WuXian thought about it for a moment, then answered readily, “Okay.”
Seeing this, Youyou nodded with satisfaction, and then she gently took out a jade slip from her bosom. This jade slip was pure white, and there seemed to be some fine lines engraved on it, which looked quite mysterious.
Youyou carefully brought the jade slip close to Wei Wuxian's forehead. The moment the two touched, the jade slip suddenly disappeared without a trace as if attracted by an invisible force.
Wei Wuxian felt a sudden shock in his mind, as if countless information was flooding in like a tide. He closed his eyes, quietly feeling the new knowledge and skills, secretly marveling at the mystery of the Free and Easy Way.
After a while, Wei Wuxian slowly opened his eyes, a look of joy on his face. He said to Youyou gratefully, "Thank you, Teacher Yu. This free and easy way is really profound."
Youyou waved her hand and said with a smile: "You're welcome. These are just some basic methods. They should be helpful to you." After that, she waved her sleeves lightly, and a flute appeared out of thin air in her hands.
The flute is pitch black, with a body as smooth as a mirror and a bright red tassel tied at the end, which flutters gently in the breeze, giving people an eerie and mysterious feeling.
Wei Wuxian stared at the flute and suddenly felt a chill coming towards him. He couldn't help but frown and said, "Teacher Yu, this flute looks a little strange."
Youyou smiled and explained: "This is not an ordinary flute, it is a 'ghost flute'."
After hearing this, Wei WuXian became even more curious and asked, "Does it have a name?"
Youyou nodded and answered, "Yes, it's called 'Chen Qing', but if you don't like this name, you can change it."
Wei Wuxian looked at the flute in his hand. For some reason, he felt that the name of the flute should be "Chen Qing", as if there was a mysterious force guiding him. So he shook his head and said, "Let's just call it this."
