Chapter 364: The Turning Point of the Taoist Method

“This pattern seems to…”

Zhang Ling held the branch, tilted his head, and looked at the pattern on the ground. He seemed to have a feeling that, in his understanding, this pattern represented day and night.

Brightness of day, darkness of night.

The alternation of yang and yin.

These thoughts were gradually formed in his daily life, unconsciously and thoughtfully.

At this time, Lin Fan landed in front of Zhang Ling, standing very close to him. He looked at the man in front of him very seriously and memorized his appearance in his mind.

He is just an ordinary citizen, but when he draws the Yin-Yang pattern, the so-called ordinary becomes no longer ordinary.

Lin Fan returned to Gui Wu. He did not have any hope that Zhang Ling could fully comprehend the true Taoist methods. At least in his generation, it would be difficult to create Taoist methods.

But this is how the world develops. Over the long years, the inheritance from generation to generation will eventually integrate the wisdom of everyone and eventually form a system.

Gui Wudao: "Daoyou, this donor is very ordinary, but his wisdom is extraordinary."

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Indeed, why not wait another hundred years and see."

Gui Wu nodded, and was very curious about how far the Taoist methods in this world would develop.

Time flies, and decades pass in the blink of an eye.

For the creatures in this world, time passes very slowly, but for bystanders like Lin Fan, time passes very quickly, just a blink of an eye.

During this period, due to the appearance of Namo, the two evil groups were very safe. After all, the scene at that time was still vivid and often appeared in their minds.

People of the righteous path took the initiative to communicate with Namo. They were curious about the golden light that day and wanted to know what kind of practice it was.

It is obviously extremely powerful, but it is very different from the Dharma they practice.

After communication, I learned that what Namo called Buddhism was not some earth-shattering method. Namo was even generous enough to write down the Buddhist practice methods for people to observe and learn.

People who follow the right path are naturally addicted to it, but they soon discover that this method is not something they can learn just because they want to, and gradually, they give up the idea of learning it.

At the same time, they acknowledged the existence of Buddhism, and that there would be four major forces in this world in the future.

The immortal way, the Buddhist way, the evil way, the devil way.

Zhang Ling, who was the focus of Lin Fan's attention, was already old, but his attainments were not low. He actually had several disciples following him, learning Taoist principles that even he himself only half understood.

In that simple open space, Zhang Ling sat cross-legged on a cushion. In front of him, there were also several disciples who were studying with him.

"Teacher, I wonder if the theory of yin and yang that you have realized can be put into practice?" asked a thin man.

He was not a local villager, but a wealthy young man in the city. He was well-read, traveled around the world, and even thought about becoming an immortal and practicing.

But when he passed by this place and learned that there was a remarkable man, he took the initiative to visit him and listened to some of his teachings. He also had some sudden realization, so he gave up everything, stayed here, and became his disciple.

At this moment, all the disciples present looked towards their teacher.

They want to know too.

Zhang Ling stroked his white beard, neither denying nor confirming, but whispered: "The theory of yin and yang is infinitely mysterious. I have only achieved a tiny fraction of it since my enlightenment. As for whether you can practice, I don't have a clear answer. All of this still depends on you."

Many disciples nodded.

The shortest time they had studied was five years, while the longest was more than twenty years. They naturally gained some insights, and although the master did not give them an answer, they knew that this was something that could definitely be practiced.

During these years, they comprehended yin and yang and observed the sky, earth, sun, moon and stars.

He created the Yin-Yang theory and the Five Elements theory.

The alternation and compatibility of yin and yang and the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements also have their applications in their lives.

At this time, Lin Fan was very satisfied with the current progress.

There has been such progress in just a few decades. Of course, if he is willing to provide guidance, the Taoist practice method will soon emerge, but this is not what he wants to see.

Gui Wudao: "Daoyou, it seems that it is as you wish. The prototype of the Taoist method has appeared. It will not be long before the method of cultivation will come out."

Lin Fan said: "It's hard to say. Everything is difficult at the beginning, but now it has reached the most difficult stage."

Gui Wu understands what fellow Taoist means.

Taoist concepts have emerged today, but no one has been able to completely integrate them and create Taoist methods. If such a person really appears, his achievements will be on par with Zhang Ling.

Time flies, and decades have passed.

Zhang Ling died of old age more than ten years ago, but the Taoist teachings had already spread, and more and more people followed and learned from him. But what surprised Lin Fan was that ghosts actually appeared in this world.

This aura did not exist before.

Soon, he found out the specific reason. It turned out that after he created this world, he placed the underworld here. The cycle of reincarnation continued over time, and when people in this world died, the yin energy gathered and their souls entered the underworld to be reincarnated.

As time goes by, the yin energy becomes increasingly dense, and under special circumstances, some dead people do not enter the underworld, but instead wander around the world as wandering ghosts.

On this day, Yinyang Town, where Zhang Ling lives, was originally a village, but with its development, more and more people are learning the theory of Yin and Yang.

The villages here gradually evolved into towns, and their names were naturally replaced by yin and yang.

Among the fourth generation disciples, Zhou Tong is the one who learns the fastest and has the highest comprehension.

Today, he was heading towards the Yin-Yang Academy with his schoolbag on his back. Halfway there, he suddenly heard screams and saw the villagers gathered together in panic and fear.

When he got there and took a look, he was shocked to find someone had hanged himself in the house.

The man who committed suicide had a livid face and a hideous expression. His hands were bent into claws, grabbing the rope around his neck. It was obvious that he was in great pain before his death. But the only thing that terrified him was that the man who hanged himself had a smile on his face.

This strong contrast made him feel something was wrong.

Even when he walked into the house, he felt a chill sweeping over him. At the same time, when the chill was invading his body, he found that there seemed to be a warm current in his body, dispelling the chill.

A sense of crisis, a feeling I have never had before, but now it appears.

I don't know why.

He always felt that there was a pair of calm eyes watching him.

Zhou Tong stepped outside and told the villagers not to enter the house at will, then hurried towards the academy. He wanted to tell the teachers there about this matter.

Lin Fan saw this whole scene.

He felt that a turning point in Taoism might be about to occur at this moment.
