Lu Yuan's movements became faster and faster.

One after another exquisite wood carvings were born from his hands.

Both Deng Yuejiao and Lao Dengtou were attracted by this scene.

The two of them came to Lu Yuan's side and picked up Lu Yuan's completed wood carvings to inspect them.

These wood carvings still have their image, and the appearance and workmanship do not seem to be any different from the previous wood carvings.

It can be seen that at the first glance of these wood carvings, they felt the difference.

The charm of these wood carvings is different, and the charm of these wood carvings is becoming more and more full, and they feel more and more like real people.

Even to the point where it's like they're looking in the mirror.

Deng Yuejiao looked at it and couldn't help but take a breath and said, "Grandpa, I feel a little panicked. If I continue to carve like this, will the wood carving in his hand come alive?"

"I can't say, maybe, maybe not, but something magical will definitely happen."

Old Deng carefully stroked the wooden sculptures one after another, and then turned his attention to Lu Yuan, observing his every move with a serious expression.

Lu Yuan's carving movements at this time were completely different from those taught by Deng Yuejiao, but there was still nothing magical about the movements alone.

It seemed like it was really just an ordinary carving action.

But every movement is like a stroke of genius, and a human figure can be carved out with just a few strokes.

Soon, another old Deng head gradually appeared in Lu Yuan's hands.

But Lu Yuan stopped what he was doing at the last step of success and fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Deng Yuejiao was a little confused and said, "Huh? The eyes haven't been carved yet. Why aren't they carved?"

However, Old Dengtou made a silent gesture, and whispered with a solemn face: "Don't disturb him, this time is different, the magic may be revealed."

When Deng Yuejiao heard this, she immediately closed her mouth and stared at Lu Yuan with some expectation and inexplicable fear.

She was really scared.

The wood carvings carved by Lu Yuan all looked so much like real people that she was afraid that the old Deng's head carved by him would really come to life.

After a long pause, Lu Yuan finally made a move.

The carving knife in his hand was gently rubbed against the eye of the wood carving, and the wood chips fell off.

After a while, the two eyes were carved and the wood carving was completely formed.

Nothing magical appeared, no light, no life.

But the moment the wood carving was completed, Lao Deng felt a little palpitating in his head and heart.

It was as if there was some kind of invisible and intangible connection between himself and the wood carvings.

Old Dengtou couldn't help but take the wood carving in his hand.

The wood carving is full of charm, just like another version of himself standing still.

But he couldn't catch the elusive connection at all, it seemed to have completely disappeared.

"This is it?" Old Dengtou looked at Lu Yuan with doubtful eyes.

Lu Yuan knew what Old Dengtou meant and explained: "It is another you now, which can prevent disasters. If it is not damaged, disasters will never be able to find your true body."

"Can it ward off illness?" Deng Yuejiao asked excitedly after hearing this.

Lu Yuan gave an affirmative answer: "Yes."

"Really?! Is it so magical?!" Deng Yuejiao's face was full of surprise and disbelief.

Old Dengtou is already old.

What an old person fears most is natural disasters and man-made disasters.

Natural disasters are dealt with by the heavenly government, and the heavenly government will send monks to help when someone is sick.

But some diseases come suddenly and without warning.

There are also many mortals who suddenly died suddenly before being rescued by the Heavenly Government.

With this wooden carving, Old Dengtou had an amulet to live out the rest of his life in peace.

Deng Yuejiao's biggest worry that was suppressed in her heart also dissipated.

"No, this has to be paid for!"

Deng Yuejiao snatched the wooden sculpture from Old Deng, turned around and ran into the house, not knowing where to keep the wooden sculpture.

Old Dengtou didn't care about Deng Yuejiao's behavior. He looked at Lu Yuan excitedly and asked, "How did you do it?"

Lu Yuan used a carving knife to draw a circle on the ground, and then drew a small circle inside the circle.

He explained: "The big circle is the way of heaven, and the small circle is you. Everything in the big circle moves by itself according to certain laws. The rising and setting of the sun and the moon are the laws, and birth, old age, sickness and death are also the laws. The laws can also be called cause and effect, and cause and effect connects everything. Controlling everything, endless lines of cause and effect intersect with each other, filling the entire world, and I transferred the line of cause and effect connecting your 'disaster' to the wooden sculpture."

"You have no cultivation, but you can directly see the cause and effect in the world? And you can control it?" Old Dengtou asked in surprise.

Lu Yuan shook his head and drew a bigger circle outside the big circle.

"Besides the way of heaven, there is a greater 'way beyond heaven'. The relationship between the way of heaven and the 'way beyond heaven' is just like the relationship between you and the way of heaven. All your actions, thoughts, blood flow, and body evolution are related to each other. Derived from the laws of heaven, the way of heaven is also compared to the 'way beyond heaven'."

Old Dengtou understood Lu Yuan's words, but he was still confused: "You mean the way of heaven is included in the 'way beyond heaven'? But what does this have to do with your manipulation of cause and effect?"

Lu Yuan stretched out two fingers, imitated scissors and made two gestures, and continued: "The laws and causes and effects mapped by scissors are different from those of your body, but they are still within the law of heaven. They can cut your hair directly. This kind of break is something your hair, hands, and feet can’t understand.”

Old Dengtou said thoughtfully: "Are you saying that your method of manipulating cause and effect comes from outside the way of heaven? If you compare me to the way of heaven and cause and effect to my hair, then the scissors are something outside the way of heaven. You use them Cut off the cause and effect?"

Lu Yuan nodded slightly and said, "There are some differences, but it's almost understandable."

"Then if your method of manipulating cause and effect is placed within the way of heaven, what level would it be equivalent to in terms of difficulty of completion?"

Old Dengtou did not understand the principles beyond the way of heaven, so he could only use this analogy to determine the extent to which Lu Yuan had grasped the principles beyond the way of heaven.

Lu Yuan thought for a while, then picked a leaf from the branch next to him and said, "It's roughly equivalent to counting all the lines on this leaf, then discarding it, and drawing every detail on the paper. Wisps of lines.”

After saying this, Old Dengtou understood.

"In other words, it is indeed difficult, but it still does not transcend the realm of mortals?"

Lu Yuan nodded.

Old Dengtou fell into deep thought.

Being able to write down every pattern on a leaf and then reproduce it on paper is indeed not something that ordinary people can accomplish.

But it is still within the capabilities of some talented people.

And above these people are the practitioners.

Practitioners can do all kinds of incredible things.

However, even if a practitioner reaches the top, he is still within the path of heaven.

At this moment, Lu Yuan is equivalent to a painter who has worked hard.

Although his painting skills are exquisite, he still has not touched the threshold of spiritual practice.

He also needs to have a deeper understanding of the 'Principles Beyond Heaven' before he can gradually figure out his own way of practice.
