Zhang Yuan looked at He Yingchun, pretending to be angry, but couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and said:
"Well, you know everything, but you keep following me around in circles. I never thought you were such a person."
He Yingchun smiled, hugged Zhang Yuan's neck again, kissed him lightly on the cheek, and responded coquettishly:
"What kind of person am I? I just love you too much, so I am willing to accompany you. How can this not be possible? My dear husband."
Zhang Yuan felt warm in his heart, and he hugged He Yingchun's slender waist again, kissing her passionately for a while, and then let go, with a helpless and doting look on his face, and whispered:
"Alright, you are my dear He Daogu, so you take me with you. I don't believe how you lead me out of this little maze. I want to remember it well this time."
He Yingchun's smile became brighter, with a confident light in her eyes, and she responded readily:
"Okay, next I will take you to experience the charm and mystery of Taoist metaphysics."
After saying this, He Yingchun took Zhang Yuan's hand, and the two of them stepped into the grove again.
But this time, they did not choose the overgrown road in the jungle, but walked steadily along the smooth path.
When he reached some turns, Zhang Yuan's intuition strongly told him that it was a wrong turn.
The feeling came over him so violently that he didn't even need to think about it; he knew in his heart that this was a step backwards.
Zhang Yuan was full of doubts and thought to himself:
I just came here, why did I turn back? I really couldn't understand it, it was too strange.
But when He Yingchun took Zhang Yuan back and reached the end of the road, Zhang Yuan was surprised to find that this was not the original starting point, but another turning point.
Seeing this, He Yingchun explained softly:
"We have to go back the way we came."
Zhang Yuan widened his eyes, slapped his forehead in disbelief, and shouted:
"No way? We just came here and now we have to go back. Isn't this just like standing still?"
He Yingchun smiled and explained patiently:
“My dear husband, you think we are just standing still, but that is not the case. The design of this forest is extremely unique.
The scenery we see when we go forward is completely different from the scenery we see when we go backward. However, there are several wrong directions on this road.
It can be said that if it is a crossroad, then the three directions of this crossroad will lead you back to the starting point, and only the direction you came from will take you to a new place.
It’s just that you think those three directions are all new, but in fact those three directions are all old.
Maybe you still can’t understand what I’m saying, but you’ll understand once you follow me.”
Next, Zhang Yuan followed He Yingchun and felt that he was walking on a very familiar road. The scenery on this road was very different.
Even the grass and trees on the roadside seemed exactly the same.
However, as Zhang Yuan walked, he keenly noticed that something was wrong. The air blowing from the front was different from before.
After walking back and forth seven or eight times, Zhang Yuan suddenly looked up and found that there was really a cliff in front of him.
Zhang Yuan was stunned, looking at He Yingchun in disbelief, and exclaimed:
"Oh my god, my dear He Daogu, why is this forest so mysterious? I clearly feel like I'm walking back and forth on the same path.
How come he suddenly appeared here? This is too magical!"
He Yingchun smiled even more deeply and said softly:
“There are so many magical things in this world. You think you are standing still, but in fact you have come a long way.
And this road is so long that you can't even imagine.
In fact, your reasons have been deceiving you, especially when you deliberately stepped into the Taoist formation. You feel that this thing is wrong.
We absolutely cannot follow our first instinct because it will definitely lead us astray.
The Taoist formations are extremely mysterious, but today we are going to use the Nine Bends Linked Formation, which is just the most common formation designed in Taoism.
This formation does incorporate Feng Shui metaphysics. It is precisely because of this metaphysics that there are many roads within the formation.
Especially the right path, which will make you doubt your life again and again, and feel that you have taken the wrong path again and again.
I have been taking the old path over and over again, but in fact, this is the most correct shortcut. It is so magical.
In fact, from this formation, you can also feel the principles of being a human being and some of the mysteries of Taoism."
After hearing this, Zhang Yuan seemed to be thinking about something and nodded in agreement:
"Really? You are right. After walking these roads, I have really deeply felt the uniqueness of Taoist scholarship."
The two came to the edge of the cliff. Zhang Yuan looked up and immediately saw the long iron chain.
Below the iron chain is a rushing river with turbulent water. Just looking at it is frightening.
Zhang Yuan couldn't help but gasp:
"If you can't easily cross the 20-meter cliff with the iron rope, you will fall into the river below. It's so scary."
Zhang Yuan turned his head to look at He Yingchun and asked curiously:
"Do these Taoists from Qingyun Temple follow this iron rope into the scenic area every day to answer questions and resolve doubts for tourists?"
He Yingchun nodded slightly and said with a smile:
"Yes, although the Taoist priests in Qingyun Scenic Area look ordinary, they walk on this iron rope every day when they go home.
We walked through this forest as well."
Zhang Yuan was full of emotion and praised sincerely:
"Amazing! These Taoists are really good at what they do. But what if they fall off the 20-meter-long iron rope?"
He Yingchun smiled and said jokingly:
"If you fall in, you fall in. There's a big river below anyway. If you can swim, you won't die. If you can't swim, you'll definitely die.
Life is really not important here, but if you are not destined to die, you will not die even if you fall in. This river also has a Taoist formation layout.
If you don’t believe me, jump down and give it a try.”
Zhang Yuan waved his hands and said with a wry smile:
"No, I'd better not try it. Although I may be very old and won't die if I fall, my swimming skills are not that good.
It would be more trouble than good to give me a few sips of water and choke me to death."
He Yingchun was amused by his appearance and laughed out loud. After she had laughed enough, she said:
"You, hahahaha, you are really quite interesting. I was just joking with you. How could I bear to let you jump into the river below?
That's too tragic. In fact, there are people inside Qingyun Temple who don't even need to walk on this tightrope to travel back and forth between the two banks."
Zhang Yuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked curiously:
"Oh, is there really someone who can do Qinggong? This is more than 20 meters long.
If you don't step on the iron chain, how can you get through?"
He Yingchun smiled mysteriously and said, keeping the secret:
"Jump over, it's that simple. For a warrior, the body is completely different from that of an ordinary person.
Especially for some really strong people, it is not surprising to jump about 20 meters at a time.
How about you try it out? I'll take you over this 20-meter cliff without walking on the iron rope and see what it feels like?"
Zhang Yuan felt excited and nodded immediately:
"Okay, I really want to experience how exciting it is to jump over a 20-meter cliff in one go."
Seeing that he agreed, He Yingchun nodded happily:
"I think so. Then I'll take you to experience it properly."
After saying this, He Yingchun picked up Zhang Yuan on the spot. Zhang Yuan hugged He Yingchun's neck, full of anticipation.
The last time Zhang Yuan was held by He Yingchun, he appeared in the bedroom in an instant. At that time, Zhang Yuan's spiritual perception was not very strong.
So I couldn't perceive all the changes around me in time, but now it's different.
After Zhang Yuan learned witchcraft, his perception became so strong that ordinary people could not even reach it.
So at this moment, Zhang Yuan really wanted to feel the feeling of flying over the cliff.
He Yingchun held Zhang Yuan in her arms and did not retreat too far. She only took three steps and then suddenly rushed out.
After taking five steps in succession, his body suddenly leaped up at a 45-degree angle like a rocket...
