Chapter 248 The Three Flowers Gather at the Top, Refining the Five Qi to Chaoyuan; Promote to the Third Level of the Golden Core
The hundred-poison golden silkworm Gu that Yinshan Master has raised for many years, if it had not been subjected to a series of fierce battles and heavy losses, Qi Tianyan used fire to overcome the metal , and when encountering the same kind of Gu insect, they will never surrender easily due to their fierceness and stubbornness.
Now that he has surrendered, Lu Cheng can get a glimpse of the secret of Master Yinshan's ability to control thousands of Gu insects. Even if he does not study in depth, it is still a good thing to broaden his knowledge.
Since ancient times, I have heard that there are people who are knowledgeable but not good, and I have not heard of people who are good but not good.
Southern Xinjiang has believed in Taoism’s first protector god Chixin Shenjun for a hundred years. In addition, the Tang Dynasty has also been interested in promoting and maintaining this belief in recent years, resulting in a sharp increase in the number of folk believers.
However, the thoughts of mortals are complex and ever-changing. When they worship gods and pray, they have all kinds of thoughts, which are extremely complex, and even some dirty and evil thoughts. This huge but complex divine power of faith, Lu Cheng simply does not dare to have too much contact with himself. Taoist and legal systems collide with each other.
In contrast, the Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu has no taboos. The huge power of thought falls on them, and the mixture and filth can even gradually increase their spirituality, just like the decay of all things and the earth eventually turns into nutrients. .
So, Lu Cheng gave up the Shinto magic weapon, the Statue of the Red Heart God, which had been with him for hundreds of years, and placed it on the top of the Yin Mountain, where it would affect countless Gu insects.
But although the golden insects are unrivaled in the world, Lu Cheng will not protect Southern Xinjiang too well. The paradise on earth, the paradise on earth, will soon make Southern Xinjiang completely lose its bravery and aggressiveness. ability.
No matter at any time, it is always better to hold the sword in your own hands, even if you have to pay a certain price for it.
There is an endless tide of beasts in the southern border, there are endless storms in the western region, there are endless sea eyes in the east sea, and there is a great dark sky in the north.
No one in this world can protect anyone forever. Sometimes, people who cultivate immortality cannot even protect themselves.
Obviously knowing these hidden secrets, Lu Cheng did not hesitate or slack off in his cultivation. Although he still failed to achieve: "There is nothing in the first place, how can it cause dust."
But However, Lu Cheng was able to achieve the progressive state of "the body is like a bodhi tree, and the mind is like a clear stage. Always brush it diligently to prevent it from causing dust." The Taoist heart refers to the fearlessness and fearlessness.
After giving up the statue of the Red Heart God and 90% of the hundred-poisonous golden silkworm Gu, Taoist Lu Cheng felt that his body and mind were light, so he returned to the cave and began to practice meditation.
Spring passes and autumn comes, and time passes year after year.
In this year after year, many people have come and many people have left.
My eldest disciple Situ Hua and his second disciple Miao Chuyun both came back. The former went to Mingquan Temple to continue his 20 years of cultivation, while Miao Chuyun returned to Guizang Mountain to devote himself to cultivating Taoism.
Chen Qingyun and Luo Peifang also came. Chen Qingyun was holding the black altar with tears in his eyelashes. Luo Peifang was dressed in plain clothes. After all, she accompanied him through the last journey of his life as his wife.
Tang Shi came and the man was finally free. He told Lu Cheng that he was going to find the ancient ruins in the Immortal Mountain and practice Taoism. He might not be able to refine the golden elixir in the future and establish a sect as the leader of a sect.
Lu Cheng told him that with his current state of mind, he would definitely be able to do this. When Tang Shi heard this, he laughed and left.
Sisters Xue Yuzhen and Yun Ling'er, Xiao Yuhong and Xiao Yuxue came together in the following years to accompany Lu Cheng for several years, but Lu Cheng's mind was always on his own practice. A few years later, his wife, concubine, and adopted daughter returned to Guizang Mountain.
In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed.
Wearing a plain white Taoist robe, Lu Cheng sat cross-legged in a simple stone chamber. There was a big withered tree in the stone chamber.
A red fire dragon clings to the big tree. The dragon's eyes are slightly open. The stone room is dim. Only a few rays of weak red light shine on the Taoist's face through the cracks in the stone.
His breathing was long and deep, as if naturally synchronized with the world around him. Every time he took a breath, he seemed to be absorbing the essence of the world.
In his body, the three-fire body refining method has been quietly operating. The heart fire is like a trickle, flowing through the whole body to nourish the spleen earth, from the spleen earth to the lung metal, and from the lung metal to the kidney water. , from kidney water to liver wood, and then from liver wood back to heart fire, so that the five qi in his body gradually become balanced and continue to grow.
Heart Fire occupies the core position in the Three Fires Body Refining Method.
It burned fiercely in Lu Cheng's heart, refining Lu Cheng's energy and energy into streams of warmth, spreading around, warming his internal organs.
As the fire in his heart increased, Lu Cheng's body gradually became tougher, as if no external force could shake him in the slightest.
The spleen earth is as thick as the earth, carrying the warmth of the heart fire and the coolness of the lung metal.
Under Lu Cheng's practice, the spleen soil seemed to be ignited by the fire of the heart, releasing endless vitality and making his body stronger. The balanced state of the five qi in his body made him feel unprecedentedly relaxed and at ease, as if a mysterious connection had been established between his body and heaven and earth.
Buddhism has the indestructible vajra, and Taoism has the eighty-nine mysterious bodies.
The essence, energy, and spirit are the three flowers on the top of the head, and the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys are the five qi in the chest.
It’s just that the physical body is precious, and most monks understand the principles. They don’t have the skills to refine it, and they don’t dare to easily start cultivating the physical body with this method.
Otherwise, if one is not careful, the heart fire will be strong but the kidney water will be deficient, but the heart fire will be replenished blindly. The heart fire will get stronger and stronger, and finally burn up the kidney water, the five elements in the body will be imbalanced, and the monk will suddenly die suddenly and shockingly.
Not only must you understand the principles, but you must also have subtle sensing methods. It is even better to be like Lu Cheng, who has the Taoist practice of reversing life, death, and rebirth. Only in this way can you practice Sanhua Gathering in a safe way. , the five qi move towards the origin, reaching the advanced realm of Taoist cultivation.
If you practice forcefully recklessly, nine times out of ten you will injure yourself.
With the improvement of his physical cultivation, Lu Cheng gradually felt that the barrier between himself and the surrounding environment was gradually disappearing. He could clearly feel every flow of air in the stone room, and every vibration of his heartbeat. Become one with the rhythm of nature.
His body seemed to have become the center of a huge hole, sucking in the spiritual energy around it, providing a steady stream of motivation for his practice.
Click, after another cycle of five elements.
The skin outside the Taoist's robe first showed the color of dark gold, and then turned white and delicate. Taoist body refining is different from the Buddhist golden body. It is infused with the power of great vows and magic to prove the Vajra Immortality. Bad, but the balance of the five qi of gold, bone and jade marrow. After cultivating to a high level, it still maintains its original natural characteristics, from human to immortal.
Finally, after a long period of practice, Lu Cheng felt that his body had reached a new level: the third level of golden elixir.
Normally speaking, every time a master of alchemy reaches a higher level of magic power, he has to spend hundreds of years of hard work to practice it. Master Jindan is much faster, but Lu Cheng takes advantage of the geographical convenience to use the three concepts of life and death. Huo, in ten years, has refined his body to the third level of Jindan, and his magic power is also close to the peak of the first level.
Lu Cheng did not feel any obstacles. When he accumulates enough mana in the future, his level should be improved naturally.
After his master Huang Longzi was promoted to the No. 1 Nascent Soul Lord in this world, Lu Cheng lived in seclusion and practiced Taoism in Guizang Mountain for fourteen years, practicing mana swordsmanship, cultivating dog demons and hundred-poison golden silkworm Gu, and accumulating magic weapons as his own life-protection weapon. means.
Because Lu Cheng knew that a big tree attracts wind, and after Master Huang Longzi was promoted to Nascent Soul, both the good and the evil were expecting him to fall, and he would not mind adding fuel to the fire if given the chance.
So Huang Longzi also devoted himself to cultivating, and stabilized his cultivation and did not go out easily. But they couldn't deal with the master, which didn't mean they couldn't deal with themselves. Therefore, Lu Cheng cultivated quietly for twenty-four years. In these twenty-four years Very few of them go out to take action.
Even when they rescued Shang Xiwen, they fought as fast as possible, without giving other forces in the Tongxuan world time to react.
But today, Lu Cheng is indeed very quiet and lively.
"It's over here. Ten years have passed. It's time for me to go to the East China Sea and settle matters."
Lu Cheng stood up under the tree and waved his hand, and the golden branches and fire dragons behind him turned into gold. Two red balls of light flew around twice and dropped into Lu Cheng's sleeves.
Then where Lu Cheng was, a flying sword suddenly appeared, soared into the sky, and flew away at the speed of sound in an instant.
Click, click, click, rumble.
Not long after Lu Cheng left, the stone mansion collapsed, the ancient trees completely withered and withered, and even the Nine Nether Fire here was weakened a lot.
It took ten years for a Jindan Daoist to eliminate the edge of the earth fire in this place. In the end, it was considered a meritorious deed. This eliminated some hidden dangers in Fangtiandi.
Dongxuan Pavilion is the largest city built on Tumu Island among the Three Immortals Islands in the East China Sea. It is a huge palace building complex and towers on a huge reef.
The thirteen golden bridges between the six rocks are like golden ribbons, gently swaying under the sea breeze, like a divine bridge connecting the sky and the ocean.
This place is the largest industry outside Tumu Island. It is equivalent to an inexhaustible large-scale spiritual stone mine. Anyone who wants to intervene will encounter the most vicious backlash from this sect. But on this day, there was a transparent five-color sword light that wandered through the sky, easily passed through the barrier of Dongxuan Pavilion, and came to the Dongxuan Pavilion Sea City without being known by the administrator. .
The Five Elements Flying Sword enters the Five Elements. In addition to being strong and sharp, it is best at hiding in the void and is invisible.
In Dongxuan Pavilion, there is a fire refinery.
"Master Jin, you rested so early today?"
"Haha, I really don't feel anything. Close the shop early and go home early."
Many years later , Jin Tong'er is already a middle-aged monk , because of the resources obtained from that encounter that year, even though the master passed away not long after, Jin Tong'er successfully cultivated to the realm of foundation building, and relied on the skills that the master taught him sporadically when he was awake. Become an weapon refiner in Dongxuangehai City.
Although he is not outstanding among many weapon refiners, Jin Tong'er is already very satisfied. He was just a beggar back then.
Now, not to mention him, even the clerks in his weapon refining workshop have married several beautiful mortal concubines one after another.
As a third-level weapon refiner, Jin Tong'er has been the target of many small immortal cultivating families. The beautiful Kun Xiu and various good techniques are all easy for him now. Something that can be obtained.
But Golden Boy didn't want any of these things. He began to like collecting and studying Buddhist ritual utensils just like his master did before. He was a little curious about what the master saw back then.
That secret actually attracted the top group of monks in this world.
"Golden Boy, long time no see."
Golden Boy was suddenly startled when he heard the voice. He would never forget this voice even in a hundred years.
In fact, it was after accidentally knowing the true identity of that person that Jin Tong'er, like his master, began to become deeply interested in the legends of ancient Buddhism.
After all, it is an ancient inheritance that even such a big shot should care about.
Jin Tong'er turned around and saw the young Taoist priest on the street standing with his hands behind his hands, looking at him with a deep expression, as if smiling but not smiling.
It was obviously a busy street, but except for himself, it seemed that no one around him could see him at all, yet he naturally avoided him.
"You...why are you here?"
"It seems that you already know who I am. Do you have any Buddhist ritual utensils there? I want to buy some more. The price is better. It was 30% higher last time.”
It’s better to be experienced than to be a master. If you can get the Buddhist rituals from Jintong’er that are enough to open the secret realm, you will save yourself a lot of trouble.
“Yes, yes.”
The middle-aged Jintong'er managed to calm down, but his heart in his chest was still beating like a drum.
Five Elements Sword Lucheng is one of the Jindan masters with the highest cultivation level in the world, the top swordsman. If his master Huang Longzi had not opened the way again, he would have stood at the forefront of the cultivation of this world. the apex.
What's more, there are rumors in the East China Sea that Deng Dongyuan, the leader of the two saints of the East who was so powerful, was killed by him.
Although most of the East China Sea monks do not believe this, for some reason, Jin Tong'er himself believes that maybe the Five Elements Sword Lu Cheng is really the number one killer in the Blood Rain Tower: Blood Kill. .
Jin Tong'er almost didn't know how he brought the real person behind him to his mansion in such a muddle-headed manner.
With his current status and wealth, he has his own servants. After wiping away the left and right, Jin Tong'er took out all his collections over the years, as well as those of his master back then.
Therefore, the total number is still quite a lot.
The whole room is filled with Buddhist ritual treasures such as pure vases, flower pots, white umbrella covers, golden bows, silver halberds, treasure banners, necklaces, golden Buddhas, etc.
"Although it is very convenient, I still suggest that you should not delve any further. Back then, the monks of the Tianfo Sect were destroyed in order to fight against a catastrophe of heaven and earth, so they left behind powerful telepathy. , so that people in future generations can faintly feel it.
Especially some people who are very close to Buddhism can even understand some Buddhist secrets and techniques. However, the Tianfo Sect was destroyed back then, and you can't find anything. It's better if you really know the truth one day... …The more you know, the more painful and despair you feel.”
Even Lu Cheng and Huang Longzi hope that after he refines the golden elixir, he can tell him the truth about this world. Jade cannot be made into a weapon if it is not cut into pieces, but if it is cruel, the essence is only bricks and stones, and that person will be ruined. The original achievements will not be there.
Seeing that Jin Tong'er's foundation was not bad, Lu Cheng tried to persuade him.
"Thank you, Master."
Although Jin Tong'er was a little regretful to receive advice from the top monk in this world, he finally let it go after thinking about it.
When he raised his head again, the figure of the Taoist was no longer in front of him. There was only a pack of high-grade spiritual stones placed on the table as a reward.
Afterwards, Jin Tong'er asked everyone in the house. The waiters only said that the master was the only one who came back today, and they had not seen any Taoist priests. They spoke sincerely, and Jin Tong'er couldn't help but admire Lu Cheng's Taoist skills. mysterious.
Finally, Jin Tong'er also followed Lu Cheng's advice and sold all the Buddhist ritual vessels he had collected over the years, as well as those Buddhist ritual vessels left behind by his master.
With the current cultivation status of Master Lu, there is no need to deceive himself.
……
Secret Realm of Heavenly Buddha, Six Paths of Reincarnation:
Plains of Bones, Ice and Snow Domain, Stone Spirit World, Heavenly Buddha Realm, Nine Black Prisons, Heavenly and Human Palace.
Even with the power of the Tianfo Sect back then, the construction of the Six Paths of Reincarnation World, dominated by the Buddha Sect, had not been completed. Some of the paths had a higher degree of completion, while others had a lower degree of completion.
The first four realms are relatively easy to enter, but the subsequent Nine Levels of Black Prison and the Temple of Heaven and Man will never be accessible unless they hold enough treasures of the Six Paths - this was before the collapse of the Heavenly Buddha Secret Realm.
Many years ago, Lu Cheng cut off the soul-binding blood curse on monk Zongzhen. Monk Zongzhen transcended and left, and the entire secret realm of Tianfo collapsed.
This small world began to naturally merge with the nearest main world.
In addition, in order to obtain the maximum benefit, Master Deng sold some of the secrets of the Tianfo Secret Realm to the Donghai Danjie Grandmaster. As time went by, the news continued to spread, and the secret realm was integrated into this world, making it easier to enter. .
More and more East China Sea monks have gained a lot from exploring the ancient sect’s relics together.
The reason why the news has not spread completely is that the high-level monks in the East China Sea are protecting their own interests. Otherwise, a large number of low-level monks will influx and foreign monks will come. Although many people will die, there will also be many People gain opportunities and take away the resources that should originally belong to them.
Jin Tong'er's magic level is too low, and he has no support from the power to know these things. However, as soon as Lu Cheng arrived near the East China Sea, he sensed that there were an unusually large number of monks in the alchemy and golden elixir realms around him. There are all kinds of pies, and they have obviously been mixed into a pot of porridge.
The destruction of Dongjima Desert Island, the leader of the Three Overseas Demons, created a huge vacuum of power. Then there was news that the Tianbu Secret Realm had opened to the world, making it impossible for Shinbutsu Temple and Bone Temple to retreat.
At this time, if Sanxian Island in the East China Sea didn't know how to seize the opportunity, it would be impossible for the faction to survive for so many years.
Back then, Taoist Huang Longzi attained enlightenment on the shores of the East China Sea. The Three Immortals Island and Zhenhun Valley in the East China Sea immediately prepared generous gifts. As the middleman, Laba Scenery went to Guizang Mountain to settle the matter.
The bloodletting did involve a large amount of blood, but Taoist Huang Longzi also agreed that he would not settle the two factions for this matter again. This was actually a concession.
Nascent Soul Lord is already an unequal relationship in the world of cultivation, but Huang Longzi is still willing to make compromises. This is undoubtedly an explanation for the Taoist and Demonic monks in the world, and also for Mie Hongzi, who had done his best, gave an explanation.
Otherwise, Huang Longzi would become enemies of the eight orthodox sects just after cultivating Nascent Soul, and Mie Hongzi would be in the middle. With her temperament, there would really be no other choice but death.
Human relationships are like a web, entwined by causes and consequences. Even people in the immortal world often find it difficult to completely get rid of them.
