Chapter 73: Entering the Tao from a demon, promoted to the twelfth level of Qi training
Stop and go, the bamboo stick and mango shoes beat the horse easily.
Even if there are monks in the realm of foundation building and condensing evil flying by in the high altitude, I am afraid they will not notice the Taoist priest practicing alone below.
He was traveling during the day and studying at night. Lin Tianshu lived up to his name and had a large collection of books. In addition to reading his notes, Lu Cheng would of course focus on reading the Five Elements classics.
If you want to cultivate the foundation of five qi, wide meridians, pure magic power, and even a deep understanding of the five elements, and strong spiritual consciousness, Lu Cheng believes that these are indispensable.
Huh.
A strong wind was blowing. If you were willing to cast a spell, you could avoid it with a small spell, but the young Taoist chose to lower the brim of his hat and walk against the wind.
Of course, sometimes when you encounter a herd of beasts and you can't hide away, you can only fly your sword out of its sheath. They will be your food for those days.
We walked forward again and again, and walked again and again. On the day of our return, it rained heavily again. The rain was very heavy and the wind was strong. Lu Cheng’s bamboo hat was blown to pieces, and the rain fell on his head. , flowing into the seams of clothes, and the whole body is cold.
Of course you can use spells, but Lu Cheng did not use spells. Instead, he raised his head and watched the rain falling from the sky.
"Forget about magic, just walk with your heart."
Perseverance day after day, by this time, Lu Cheng even began to avoid the beasts, and no longer killed at will just because he had a sword in his hand.
Do not hold it with the sword, but hold it with your heart.
“Swallowing the world and being the only one who dominates me is the mentality of the devil. However, if the devil is really stronger than the righteous way, the top twelve sects in the world will not be the eight orthodox sects and the four devil sects. With the Lin family back then, The dynasty’s character must be the best in the world.”
“...to enter the Tao from the devil and lay the foundation of the supreme Tao.”
"Just like the Buddhist allusion of Ananda breaking the precepts: 'If you don't enter the world of mortals, experience the sea of suffering, and don't break the precepts, how can you know the true meaning of the rules, how can you uncover the illusions of the world, see your own Buddha nature, and realize the wonderful existence of the vacuum?'"
“If we follow this idea, Duotian Transforming spirits into indulgence, Wufu Forging Yuan must exercise restraint. If this is the case, almost half of Burning Wood Mountain has turned into a demon cave, but the descendants have completely forgotten the teachings of their ancestors."
The sun and the moon change, and everything changes. That Taoist's pace never stops.
Lu Cheng was completely immersed in the reading of Taoism and the understanding of Taoism, forgetting everything else, so his mind gradually became ethereal, washing away all the discomfort inside and outside the body.
In this state, the mana in the body circulates naturally. Naturally, it breaks through the first level of pass, allowing Lu Cheng to advance to the twelfth level of Qi training. The mana becomes deeper, deeper and more pure, and can be controlled by the heart.
However, at this moment, Lu Cheng no longer cared much about it.
Sometimes he would stare at the stars in a daze, sometimes he would stare at a bonfire in a daze, sometimes he would stare at the rivers and streams, and sometimes he would lie on the ground without moving for days and nights, as if Already integrated with the earth.
“Seize the world’s spiritual power until the five elements are functioning to be self-sufficient.”
“I understand, I understand. Originally, if I wanted to practice the magic of seizing heaven and transforming spirits to the highest level, I need a A heart of self-restraint can swallow up the world without swallowing it up. In other words, if I am self-sufficient, what else can I do?”
I suddenly stood up from the ground and felt dizzy.
Only then did Lu Cheng realize that he had almost starved to death. He quickly took out a Bigu Pill and drank it. He fell down again and waited for a long time before gradually recovering.
Get up and keep walking forward.
I don’t know how long it has been, whether it was more than ten days or several months.
Lu Cheng has become much darker and thinner, and the Taoist robes on his body have become tattered and tattered. However, in the process, his spirit has become stronger and stronger, and the true energy in his body is circulating. Every breath and breath seems to have become one, and the control and control are all as desired:
The golden line, the fierce and solemn killing intent.
In the movement of wood, dark energy is hidden, entangled, and undergoes changes in life and death.
Water moves, tides, accumulations, fluctuations, vortexes, and the borrowing of forces.
Fire, blasting, burning, everything burns.
Earth element, accumulation, plain, heavy, mountainous.
The principles of the Five Elements that Lu Cheng understood must be incomplete, incomplete, and even contain many fallacies.
But it doesn't matter, he only hit the realm of foundation building in the later stages of Qi training. His understanding of the five elements, under the guidance of countless Taoist classics, gradually reached the realm of practicing the five elements' operation of the Five Palaces Forging Yuan Jue.
Although Lu Cheng is aware of this, he is not in a hurry. He enjoys his journey quite a lot and is not in a hurry to reach the realm of foundation building. Instead, he is more willing to immerse himself in this kind of relationship with the world. Through the understanding and understanding, learn more things.
However, sometimes, things backfire and things never go as planned.
Late at night, Lu Cheng was looking at Lin Tianshu's practice notes by the moonlight. This man could be called a generational wizard. He became a fourth-level array mage in the foundation building realm. Looking at the descriptions in his notes, he thought to himself: If he wasn't distracted too much, it would be possible to reach the golden elixir realm with his accumulation of practice. He even created a method of using formations to change the five qi foundation building methods, making it less difficult for monks from the Burning Wood Mountain Lin family to build foundations.
Click.
Just when Lu Cheng was flipping through the notes in the Heavenly Book, the paper was torn because he had flipped through too much. The Taoist frowned slightly, secretly blaming himself for not being careful, but under the moonlight, he unexpectedly saw a layer of blood underneath the paper.
It was written in blood, and it was written in fine print.
Lu Cheng read bit by bit from the broken part of the paper, but it was a cultivation method:
Being alive but not alive, dying but not dead... Chaotic mind, a glimmer of light... Abandon all external constraints, abandon the sage wisdom, return to the innate, and develop your own magical powers.
Knowing that Lin Tianshu’s notes contained other profound magic formulas, Lu Cheng was stunned, but he still copied Lin Tianshu’s notes and then took out the blood book from the notes: The blood demon transforms into the heart.
One of the thirteen chapters in the nine volumes of "Blood Nerve" is the chapter about the transformation of the blood demon into the heart.
At this moment, Lu Cheng finally understood why Lin Tianshu, with his talent, could not break through even after taking the Pulse Protecting Pill five times in a row.
I am afraid that he wanted to integrate the Blood God Kung Fu into his own Taoist practice, which is why he ended up like that.
Suddenly, Lu Cheng thought of something and picked up the remaining notes of the Book of Heaven. He turned to the last page and saw a title recorded on it: "Purple Mansion Golden Pill Qi".
This is a theoretical Taoist book. Before, Lu Cheng seemed to have only thought it was Lin Tianshu's reading notes, but now, how could he not think of it.
I found the "Purple Mansion Golden Pill Qi" among the Taoist books in the Qiankun Ring, and slightly broke a corner of it. Sure enough, there was also a blood book inside the Taoist book.
They did it one by one, and finally Lu Cheng found a total of nine blood nerves among Lin Tianshu's classics. I don't know whether they are authentic or not, but Lin Tianshu must have spent a lot of money in order to collect this supreme magic formula. A lot of effort and energy went into it.
If he had not been so ambitious, he might still be alive and kicking now.
“I’m afraid not even the Lin family knows this secret.”
……
Shiyuan County, Chixin Temple.
Since Chixinguan Taoist people lived here five years ago, the atmosphere of the entire county has changed greatly.
They made township covenants, maintained public security, built water conservancy projects, and restrained merchants. Then they spread the belief of Chixin, the protector of the Taoist sect.
In a very short period of time, the appearance of Shiyuan County has been greatly changed. The population has grown, the economy has developed, and even the trend of cultivating yin and worms has been eliminated.
The most obvious change is that every night, almost every household in Ishihara County, which used to be dark, lights up lights.
Because both ghosts and Gu insects are afraid of fire. Therefore, as long as you practice these methods, your family will not light up lights even if you have money.
Now it seems that the world is more willing to bathe in the warm radiance of the Red Heart God.
"Mother."
A dark-skinned heroic young man called out in a low voice. In the Taoist temple, in front of the statue, there was a man in gorgeous clothes, but with burn marks on his face. The woman concluded her devout prayer. Stand up and turn around.
“Xu Sheng, what’s wrong with you in such a panic?”
He Lan knew in her heart that her son would never come to disturb her at this time unless it was an emergency.
"Guanzhu, I have been away for three years. Due to the outbreak of the beast tide in the south, many Taoist monks were forced to live near Shiyuan County. If Nanling Mansion hadn't transferred two teams of Xuanjia troops to station here, I'm afraid I Even the temple left behind by the temple owner cannot be preserved. Come. If I lose this view, how will I see the master in the future?"
No one in Shiyuan County wants to live the same life again, so He Lan can even organize the villagers to practice martial arts. Join the Chixin Temple to assist the Xuanjia Army in maintaining local security.
But even if mortals who have practiced martial arts form an formation, it is still difficult to compete with immortal cultivators, especially as Shiyuan County becomes increasingly prosperous and more and more cultivators around it are eyeing this place.
"Li Wu reported that a sloppy Taoist priest came outside and wanted to see your mother. I wanted to beat him away, but you just reprimanded me for this kind of thing a few days ago, so I came to tell you .”
Young Xu Sheng was a little aggrieved. The Gou Sheng he used to be was now an adult. He had practiced martial arts since he was a child, so at the age of less than fifteen, he was already as tall as an adult and even stronger.
"Since you are a Taoist, I will meet you and don't lose your etiquette. Your martial arts skills cannot even withstand the power of a finger in front of a true Taoist cultivator."
< br>As He Lanyan said that, he walked outside.
The reason why she can still maintain her sincerity is because she acts cautiously and is polite and courteous to everyone, so that no one can fault her. However, she dares to fight to the death for her core interests. She is so strong and soft at the same time. Just barely managed to maintain the situation. Arrive at the foyer.
Xu Sheng stood next to He Lan, who was still thinking about how to deal with possible situations.
A sloppy Taoist with ragged clothes but no evil aura, just a messy hair and long beard walked in.
After seeing He Lan and Xu Sheng, he said directly:
"He Guanshi, long time no see."
Crack.
The tea bowl that He Lan was holding fell to the ground and shattered.
"Master, you are finally back."
Both He Lan and Xu Sheng's expressions changed drastically, and then they fell down directly. The local heroes around him were a little dazed at this moment, but they quickly reacted and fell down after him.
That year, the Master of Chixin Temple who rode the wind away finally returned.
After bathing, changing clothes, trimming his beard, and getting a haircut, Lu Cheng put on an old linen robe and finally completely transformed back into the former Chixin Guanzhu.
In the eyes of He Lan and Xu Sheng, the appearance of the conservator has not changed at all after three years apart, but his Taoist temperament and grace are better than before.
"Where did Xu Ying go?"
Xu Sheng was the Gou Sheng back then, and Xu Ying was the Erya back then. The names of these two people were the same as when He Lan asked Lu Cheng to give him Taken.
“One year after you left Chixin Temple, Immortal Chief Qingyun sent a letter, saying that he had found a good sect and was accepting disciples. Unfortunately, it only accepted female disciples, so Erya went alone. He Lan replied with a smile.
"Which dharma lineage should it be in Huoyun Mansion, but it is a bit dangerous to get to Huoyun Mansion from here. Xu Ying will go alone?"
"We are traveling with the caravan, and as a mortal, how can we not go through hardships and dangers? There has been a reply before saying that we have arrived."
"That's good." Lu Cheng nodded after hearing this.
“If I had known that the temple master would come back so soon, my sister would not have gone to become a teacher. She would have waited in the temple for the temple master to come back and teach us.”
Xu Sheng looked excited. .
"No, you kid can't even enter samadhi. You'd better practice the method of divine sacrifice with your mother."
Lu Cheng talked with He Lan's mother and son for a while, and learned about the difficulties that Chixin Temple has faced recently. Due to the outbreak of the beast tide in the south, many monks have moved nearby. For He Lan, who only knows some simple Shinto spells, the pressure is extremely high. big.
"It's okay, they probably won't bother you again after today."
Lu Cheng said this calmly, making He Lan and Xu Sheng look at each other in confusion for a moment.
That night.
Lu Cheng retreated to the left and right, and deployed heavenly soldiers and divine generals to protect him.
Then he set up the Five Elements Formation in the main hall of Chixin Shenjun Guan, laid out the formation flags, and the white jade altar, and prayed.
Beginning, burning incense, bathing, sitting quietly, and adjusting one's psychology and physiology through a series of methods to reach an optimal state.
In addition, Lu Cheng also added an extra step, praying to align his mind with Chijun, the protector of the Taoist sect, so that his mind would be constantly contaminated by Chijun's charm, burn away impurities, become pure and unified, and receive blessings.
Take out the five elements of spiritual objects: White Tiger Inner Elixir (gold), Dryad Inner Elixir (wood), Tianmu Crystal (water), Purple Heart Warm Jade (fire), Stalactites and Strange Stones (earth).
“To conquer heaven and transform into spirit, photograph.”
Lu Cheng pressed his palm on the White Tiger's inner elixir, and the billowing golden vitality continued to pour into his body, gradually becoming almost like being struck by a sword.
It’s just that Lu Cheng’s Taoist foundation is deep and his natural meridians are wide. Although he feels pain at this moment, his expression remains unchanged.
When the total amount reached a certain level, Lu Cheng moved his palm to a transparent crystal, and the rolling water energy continued to pour into the body, and the golden water stirred up. For a moment, Lu Cheng felt violent The vitality and mana almost tore his body apart.
Even he groaned because of this.
“Gold and water are symbiotic, tearing the flesh apart is an illusion, continue.”
With the operation of the magic formula, the palm of his hand moved to the inner elixir of the tree demon, and the sound of water and wood came together. In a short period of time, Lu Cheng only felt that his arm turned into wood, and this feeling and change were still there. Going back quickly and cost-effectively, it seemed that as long as he didn't withdraw his arm in time, he would become a wooden man.
However, the Taoist looked cold and moved his palm to aim at the Purple Heart Nuan Jade.
At this moment, the fire was burning all over his body. Lu Cheng sat back on the Five Elements Dharma Platform and waved his hands. He only felt that he had become a burning fireman. At this moment, the four Qi had entered. Body, authentic foundation building.
The whole person was in a state of being burned by a raging fire, but the Taoist still maintained a glimmer of clarity in his mind.
Finally, he sat up again, activated the great method of transforming spirits, and ingested the fifth spiritual object, stalactites and strange stones.
boom.
Fire and earth are interdependent, and the five elements of mana are violently circulating. For almost a moment, Lu Cheng thought that he had been shaken to powder.
At that moment, it seemed that the soul left the body, and the entire body was destroyed and crushed.
Lu Cheng's consciousness seemed to be flying away from his body. He could see the Taoist sitting behind the white jade altar in the array below. A large amount of dark red blood oozed from his body. The Taoist robe had been soaked. He was a bloody man.
Swallowing the five qi, integrating the five elements into the body, it is so wonderful that it cannot be tolerated.
"Even with my Qi Hai natal magical power, I can't handle this skill at all?"
"That's why I have to come back here. Sometimes, success requires a little luck." He was confused at first, but then he was Strengthen your mind.
Lu Cheng's consciousness slowly spread and expanded, and he flew out of Chixin Observation.
At this time, he gently turned sideways and saw the entire Shiyuan County behind him, where thousands of lights were shining, which was the peak of peace.
Then he turned around slightly. At this time, a huge red phantom appeared in the sky above the entire Chixin Temple.
He stretched out his huge palm and held up the weak consciousness:
"If there are practitioners or Taoists in future generations, he will have three points of practice, I will have seven points of induction, and he will have ten points. Practice, and I will be with you at any time!”
“Thank you, Lord God, for coming.”
Standing in the palm of the huge phantom of the spirit, Lu Cheng held the incantation and gave a ritual.
The next moment, when he opened his eyes, he was still sitting on the Five Elements Dharma Platform, and the energy of the Five Elements was still rushing wildly in his body. The scene just now might not have happened at all. It’s just that whatever your heart desires, your heart will be at peace.
"Use metal to generate water, use water to generate wood, use fire to generate earth... use earth to generate gold."
Because the mind is calm, the magic power will naturally stabilize for a few minutes, and Lu Cheng begins to operate according to the formula. Since the creation of Menwufu Duoyuan Jue, no one has ever mastered Shi Weiguo's one-step method: Five Qi Movement Method, Changing Muscles and Cleansing the Marrow.
At this moment, Lu Cheng, who had gained great peace of mind, vaguely realized that he could integrate the energy of the five elements into Chiji's mental method and build the foundation of the Five Elements Divine Sword.
In this way, you can return to Huoyun Mansion to learn and inherit the sword cultivation method of the ancestor of Chi Shenzi.
Such a huge temptation, Lu Cheng almost couldn't help but step in.
But before crossing this threshold, Lu Cheng slowly took back his steps:
"Sword cultivation is the strongest Taoist method in the world? Or, the one that suits you is the strongest method in the world?" ”
“I want it. Become a sword wielder, not a sharp sword. Even if this sword is invincible, it will be invincible. "
Before retreating, almost all the five elements of energy in Lu Cheng's body were transformed. The Five Elements Sword Qi cultivates the foundation of heaven.
But at this moment, under the guidance of the Taoist's will, the five elements of vitality are integrated into the five organs, turned into the five qi in the chest, running like a wheel, forming a blazing extreme fire: the great five elements of the earth and the true fire, the earth building The base peak can dissolve and dissolve all dharma in the world.
Under the unity of God and self, the five-color brilliance shines out of the body. Lu Cheng sits on the Dharma platform and holds the Taoist Seal. His magic power is integrated with the power of faith accumulated in the Chixin Temple over the years. A huge red god appears in the Chixin Temple. , oppressing all directions.
Many monks who have moved here within a radius of hundreds of miles are horrified and moved when they see such a scene.
At this moment, without Lu Cheng himself knowing it, he had habitually placed it horizontally on the altar. On his previous long sword, as his five qi were flowing, The wheel echoed the general clear sound, and projected an extremely refined and pure five-color sword light from it, pouring into the Dantian in his body and blending with the magic power.
The foundation is thus harmonized and sublimated, laying the foundation for the harmony of heaven and earth.
Let me explain in advance that the protagonist of this book wants to unite the three fires of heaven, earth and man, cultivate the true fire of samadhi, forge the supreme dharma body, and cultivate the eighty-nine holes of true elixir, so he cannot follow the pure path of sword cultivation; The reason why this book is called "Slaying Ghosts and Gods Alone with a Sword" is that the "sword" here refers to courage rather than a simple sword.
