One night without words, all is silent.
Only the sound of sprouting grass and trees in his dreams echoed in Zhang San's ears.
That night, Zhang San dreamed of a grandpa in a Taoist robe, wearing a green grass hat, came to the front of his house to teach him the Wood Series Technique.
Another dream of eight years, another Technique achieved to Great Achievement.
When Zhang San woke up, he found that the sky was still dark.
He sat in front of the still-burning fire, gathered a few sticks to stoke the flames, and then took out the secret manual of the Wood Series Technique given by Wei, along with the original Xun Wind Breathing Technique and the heavy, hundred-pound mental method given by Zhao Siyang, to study by comparison.
Although the cultivation techniques differ, each has its own mysterious excellence.
But there was also something to be said for learning by analogy.
