Chapter 285 The evolution of Taoism, the unity of heaven and man
After the war, inventorying, reconstruction and restoration, these things are naturally done by the disciples below. Yuanying Zhenjun Gui Dongmei's face was a little pale, and he flew down, and at the same time gave Lu Cheng winked and motioned for him to follow.
Arrived in Gui Dongmei's cave, the middle-aged Taoist nun first meditated cross-legged to regain her magic power. Seeing this, Lu Cheng did the same, sitting cross-legged and pressing lightly on his heart with one hand.
Each Taoist sect has slightly different postures for meditating and practicing. After cultivating to the Nascent Soul realm, most monks can do whatever they want without breaking the rules, but there are still many people who deliberately retain hundreds of Habits accumulated over thousands of years.
Lu Cheng's Five Element Reform method starts with the fire element, so he presses his palms on the heart to help increase the heart's fire element.
A few hours later, Gui Dongmei's face looked slightly better, she stopped operating her Xuan Gong, and the light blue Qi around her body restrained and returned to her body.
When Lu Cheng sensed this, he also stopped performing the exercises and opened his eyes. He knew that Gui Dongmei must have something to say when she invited him here.
The reason why I performed my merits just now was because the matter was not urgent, or I had not sorted out my thoughts.
“Just now when I used the Tiangang Five Fire Divine Thunder in the formation, although I destroyed the physical body of the old demon Ren Qianqiu, I faintly sensed a flash of evil thoughts. Railway fellow, you want to Be careful, although we won this battle, it was a pity that we were not able to eradicate the evil spirit and really defeat it. The competition in the devil's way is fierce and cruel. The master assassinated the disciple, and the disciple killed him. Master, the father killed the daughter, and the son killed the mother. Unexpectedly, that old demon has been rampant in the world for nearly two thousand years, but he has never used the secret method of turning tribulation. With his talent and talent, he may have a chance to get a glimpse of the spiritual realm of demon cultivation in the future. There will be another disaster in the world. "
It is no wonder that Gui Dongmei has made great achievements in destroying the enemy but is frowning. Ren Qianqiu, a demon cultivator, will never stop seeking revenge.
In the history of the world of immortality, there are countless monks who were killed hundreds of thousands of years later because of provoking this kind of demonic cultivator. There were even some who had already ascended to the upper realm, but were destroyed by the demonic cultivator in the lower realm.
Monks in the world of cultivating immortals, whether they are seizing a body or reversing a calamity, must first practice to the golden elixir realm and stabilize the soul before they can perform any actions. Only those in the lower realms who can perform this secret method successfully are said to be successful. No one on the Internet has actually seen it, and it is probably just a legend. Moreover, this secret method can only be used once, because of the laws of heaven and earth, the second time it is used, the soul will almost certainly be destroyed and the soul will be scattered.
And even if you have cultivated to the golden elixir realm, you are only 60 to 70% sure of succeeding in using this secret technique, and there are many who fail.
The Nascent Soul's transformation into tribulation is much safer, because if the soul is strong, it can basically successfully transform into tribulation and even survive the mystery in the womb.
But apart from the memory, all the spiritual consciousness and magic power cannot be retained. Many monks left many spiritual stone magic tools for themselves. As a result, they were killed by their own disciples and relatives just after they passed the tribulation, and the spiritual stone magic tools were taken away. , this kind of thing has happened to both righteous monks and demonic monks.
If a ray of natal spiritual light enters the mother's womb, this is called a rebirth, and the lifespan is recalculated. If it directly occupies a physical body, this is called seizing the body, and the lifespan is reduced by the lifespan that the person has already consumed.
Righteous monks usually transfer tribulations, and the time is controlled within three months of a woman’s pregnancy. When the soul is not yet formed, it will not harm the heaven and earth, nor reduce the energy in the body, and the soul and body will be integrated. It’s also more perfect.
Most demonic monks also avoid disasters, but there are also some who like to seize bodies. They are confident that they can resolve the backlash and are not afraid of cause and effect. The advantage is that they have an adult body directly, have a certain amount of self-protection power, and can determine the spiritual root qualifications. , or even a special Taoist body. If you are going through a tribulation, you may have been a master of the fire element in your previous life, but in this life you may have water spirit root qualifications, or even your innate qualifications may have deteriorated. This may happen.
In history, there was once a cultivator with a three-yang constitution who worshiped a pure yang lineage and made rapid progress. He became famous all over the world for killing demons and slaying demons with three swords of golden light and fire.
After returning to the Nascent Soul realm and re-cultivating, not only did he not have the Three Yang Dao body, but he also had the qualifications of the Wood Spirit Root. Most of the experience in cultivation in the previous life was directly nullified. Although he cultivated back to the Nascent Soul realm with stumbling steps, he was no longer as good as before. The style that spans the world.
Ren Qianqiu may have deliberately chosen a monk whose spiritual roots and physique are more in line with his own, or even better, as his disciple to avoid this situation. This kind of demonic thought that comes in an instant takes a lot of resources. , cannot be accomplished by ordinary magic cultivators.
"In any case, his body has been destroyed, and he will not be able to make trouble again for at least a hundred or two hundred years. Fellow Taoist Gui, we should still take the catastrophe in front of us as our top priority."
Lu Cheng understood the fear in Gui Dongmei's heart, and he was even a little worried that Ren Qianqiu would take revenge on Huanyun Valley hundreds of years later, but he still expressed comfort and asked the other party to focus on the matter at hand.
“Oh, if I had known this, I should have prepared a Thousand Miles Soul-killing Talisman, which could kill his natal aura with one blow. Even if it could not directly break his soul-killing talisman, it could still interrupt his soul-killing talisman. The road.”
Wanli. The soul-killing talisman is a kind of talisman that specializes in killing the natal aura. It has a single function and is relatively unpopular. Although it is a high-level talisman, it has no lethality for monks with physical bodies. Unless they are prepared in advance, few monks will prepare this in advance. Kind of spell.
Lu Cheng and Gui Dongmei chatted a few more words and discussed the next garrison and defense of Kunzi Island. After this battle, the friendship and trust between the two increased a few points.
Gui Dongmei signaled Lu Cheng to come, just to tell him that Ren Qianqiu Yinmo was reincarnated. Otherwise, if Lu Cheng was unprepared, Gui Dongmei would harm him intentionally.
Leaving the Taoist nun's cave, Lu Cheng Yujian returned to his cave. Lin Qinghan was already waiting at home. After seeing her husband return and check up and down, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"It is said that the monks from Tiannan have arrived. True Lord Ji'an died in an ambush. My husband and the old demon are fighting alone. I am incompetent and cannot help my husband."
"Haha, It’s not like Ren Qianqiu and I are fighting alone. You Daoist friend Gui and the monks from Yidao are helping each other. Well, this great catastrophe is both calamity and luck. We monks have stolen the mysteries of heaven and earth to practice Taoism. We should have the power to withstand all catastrophes. You are too weak-tempered. , be strong and courageous”
Lu Cheng reached out and gently wiped away the tears on the eyelashes of the beautiful woman in front of him, teasing the Taoist monk for his timidity.
The news of the surprise attack by the Tiannan monks was conveyed to the main island of Cangyun with a spiritual talisman, and the thirty-six islands of the Southern Li Sea immediately put themselves on alert and entered a comprehensive defense mode.
But it was already too late. Two True Lords had already been killed in the ambush. The Tiannan cultivators rushed in and attacked faster than the Northern Territory cultivators imagined.
A few days later, Lu Cheng and Gui Dongmei teamed up to kill Ren Qianqiu, a demon cultivator in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. The reward for their good deeds was issued:
Kill the enemy and warn the main island. A reward of six hundred thousand good deeds.
The three island owners were not generous in this matter, but they were fair. After all, the war had just begun and the overall resources of the South Lihai defense line were limited.
Inside the cave, Lin Qinghan, dressed in white Taoist uniform, was making tea for Lu Cheng and Gui Dongmei.
“Of the 600,000 good deeds, use 100,000 to share with the people below, and the remaining 300,000 good deeds for fellow railway members, I will take 200,000, how about that?”
中Nian Taoist Aunt Gui Dongmeipin said this after taking a sip of spiritual tea. The two of them are the guardian monks of Kunzi Island, and it is also their rights and responsibilities to reward and punish the monks below.
“Give 200,000 yuan to the disciples below. My Taoist friends and I will share 400,000 yuan equally. I’m afraid the war that will follow will be tragic and protracted. We want the people below to use their lives. Not only must we enforce the law strictly, but we must also promise Let them have something to look forward to with huge profits, just like the last time they killed the demon Ren Qianqiu. If the monks from all over the island had not gathered their magic power, it would be difficult for the Taoist friends to complete the Tiangang Five Fire God Thunder in a short time. "
"Good. Then let's do it according to the opinions of the railway friends."
It doesn't have to lose its own interests, and it can make the monks below work harder. Of course, Gui Dongmei will not have objections.
Next, the two continued to discuss the deployment of defenses for the following disciples.
Zhenjun Ji'an of Lingyuan Mansion is no longer here, and the monks of Lingyuan Mansion will inevitably suffer some losses in their defense. Fortunately, neither Lu Cheng nor Gui Dongmei are the ones who add insult to injury too much. It’s not like the monks from Lingyuan Mansion are going to be ashes.
At this moment, a disciple from Huanyun Valley flew over and said with a salute: "Master, Master Ji'an is back. Although his body was damaged, his Yuan Ying flew back. .”
"Huh?"
Lu Cheng and Gui Dongmei looked at each other, and then they both transformed into rays of light and flew out.
Although Kunzi Island is large, it is only within reach of the Yuanying monks.
Kun Zi Island, outside the defensive law, outside the golden light barrier, saw a little man who looked like a baby and an old man, standing on a flying sword, looking back anxiously.
After seeing Lu Cheng and Gui Dongmei flying in, Ji An shouted:
"Let me in quickly, I managed to escape just now."
"It is indeed Ji'an Lao Dao." Gui Dongmei said this.
Lu Cheng, on the other hand, was casting a spell. His eyes were gradually covered with a layer of golden-red fire. He looked around with fiery pupils and golden eyes. Indeed, he did not see any trace of the monks hiding within a hundred miles nearby. . Then he ordered the formation to be temporarily closed and allowed Zhenjun Ji An to enter.
"Fellow Daoist Ji, how did you escape back?"
Gui Dongmei stepped forward to greet her, but at the same time she asked with a hint of alarm.
"I took off my bones and replaced my body, gave up my body, and escaped from the Nascent Soul. Isn't it obvious from my appearance?" Ji An replied angrily as his body was lost and destroyed.
“Don’t be surprised, fellow Taoist, the magic method is mysterious and unpredictable. Fellow Taoist Gui and I are just the same. Moreover, fellow Taoist also needs to go to Cangyun Island and change into a five-element dharma body.”
Lu Cheng took out a spiritual talisman. Nascent Soul, who looked like both a baby and an old man, was a little embarrassed when he saw the magic talisman, but he did not resist. He handed over his natal flying sword and let Lu Cheng stick the magic talisman to his Dantian. He suddenly felt his body sinking. Even Teng Yun Feidun became difficult.
This is done to prevent Nascent Soul monks from being captured by the enemy and secretly restrained by various magic techniques, and then return to their own side to wreak havoc.
If Zhenjun Ji'an's magic power had not been banned and his flying sword had not been taken away, and if he had not suddenly fired his sword when he was teleporting, Lu Cheng and Gui Dongmei would not have been able to save the teleportation array. Once the teleportation array was broken, the entire teleportation array would be destroyed. Zuokunzi Island has become a dead chess piece, and it will be difficult to revitalize it.
The series of actions just now, Lu Cheng secretly moved the phantom demon flag, in the eyes of the monks outside, it was Zhenjun Ji'an who escaped from danger and returned to his original physical form after entering the formation. The three Zhenjun had a very friendly exchange A few words, and then the arms returned together.
The morale of the cultivators on Kunzi Island has been boosted by this, especially the monks in Lingyuan Mansion. Whether there is a Nascent Soul Lord sitting in charge, the confidence in the hearts of the sect monks is completely different.
"I will be stationed on the island. I would like to ask fellow railway fellows to send fellow Taoist Ji to the main island to receive the Five Elements Dharma Body." Gui Dongmei said after returning.
“It should be so.” Lu Cheng replied with a courtesy.
“But I am greedy for sex, so I have troubled my two fellow Taoists.”
Zhenjun Ji'an seemed to have adjusted his state of mind, bowing in front of him and saying.
Lu Cheng first went to the cave and used the Earth Spirit Mirror to communicate with the main island. The Chedi Spiritual Mirror is a magic mirror connected by spiritual veins. It has the effect of transmitting images and sounds thousands of miles away. It is extremely safe and cannot be easily intercepted by others like the spirit talisman transmission and the flying sword transmission.
Lu Cheng, Gui Dongmei, and Ji An are stationed on Kunzi Island. The three of them have built spiritual mirrors in their caves, and they have the ability to communicate with Lord Cangyun at any time. The right to contact the three major monks on the island.
Lu Cheng came to the Chedi Spirit Mirror, opened the spirit mirror, and connected it to the cave of Wei Shuyi, a great monk in the late Nascent Soul.
"Tie Xiao, I have met the True Lord."
"Oh, it's Little Friend Tie, what's the matter?"
"True Lord Ji'an has returned, and Kunzi Island is about to open to the Lord. The teleportation array on the island, please ask Zhenjun to sort out the meridians for fellow Taoist Ji'an, harmonize the magic power, and eliminate inner demons. Zhenjun Waiji'an's body is damaged and he needs to borrow a Five Elements Dharmakaya."
"Shan, I just have time."
After this spiritual mirror call, Lu Cheng and Ji. An Laodao immediately teleported to the main island of Cangyun through the Kunzi Island teleportation array.
"A five-element dharma body will cost me at least three hundred thousand spiritual stones. It is obviously to destroy the physical body for the Northern Territory, but I have to bear it myself."
"It is three hundred thousand now, and we will wait for the war. , I’m afraid it’s hard to buy even 400,000 and 500,000. If it weren’t for the difficulty of preserving the Five Elements Dharmakaya, how would you think you could redeem it?”
With a flash of inspiration, the two Taoists had crossed thousands of miles and arrived in Cangyun. island.
Lu Cheng and True Lord Ji An turned into rainbows and flew to Mr. Wei Da's residence. After passing the message through the guards, they quickly received permission from Ji An to enter.
"By the way, when I first came here, my disciples and disciples Sun Feifu sent a message saying that the railway friends had seen through Ren Laomo's painting skills. How did you see through it? This method is really powerful."
Before entering Wei Shuyi's mansion, Zhenjun Ji'an suddenly looked back and asked.
"...It is difficult to draw the bones of a dragon or a tiger. My fellow Taoist has a dragon-shaped tiger bone, so he is different from ordinary people." Lu Cheng replied with a slight smile.
"Hahahahahaha, okay, when I come out, I will definitely get drunk again with my railway friends."
After accepting the two ghost babies as disciples, these few people stationed on Kunzi Island During this period, three true kings, Lucheng, Gui Dongmei and Ji'an, took pills, drank banquets and held Dharma meetings several times.
Ji'an is good at refining a kind of Bi Ling Dan, which regulates Qi and nourishes the mind. There are many beautiful female nuns in Bihai Pavilion. Gui Dongmei once made the main gift to Ji'an and several beautiful concubines in Lu Cheng, all of whom were pregnant. She has a graceful appearance, ice skin and snowy skin. She is good at charming and knowledgeable.
Lu Cheng did not accept it, but Ji'an Lao Taoist refused to accept anyone who came.
The reason why Lu Cheng did not accept them was because the appearance and qualifications of these female cultivators were far inferior to those of his Taoist companion Lin Qinghan, and he was not interested.
Lu Cheng treated Gui Dongmei and Ji An with the sixth-level spiritual bitter leaf wine. For this reason, Lu Cheng said to Ren Qianqiu before: "Your treasured jars of bitter leaves Don’t be stingy about the wine, give it to me and Senior Sister Gui.” Only then did Gui Dongmei react quickly. This Ji An was someone else’s disguise.
The spiritual talisman that Lu Cheng sent before also played a key role. Without his advance warning of this spiritual talisman, it would be difficult for the monks on the entire Kunzi Island to make such a quick response. Let Ren Qianqiu escape.
Ji An stayed in Mr. Wei Da's cave for two hours, and then came out. At the same time, a spiritual talisman flew out, which showed that there were no traces of evil spirits on Ji An's body. , at least White Deer Academy’s Haoran Jue cannot be sensed at all.
All of Zhenjun Ji'an's current actions are based on his true intentions.
There was nothing wrong with the inspection, and Lu Cheng was relieved.
If you want to use magic means to avoid the induction of Wei Shuyi, a great monk in the later stage of Yuanying, you may need the help of the Yuan Shen demon cultivator or a unique wizard who is not seen in ten thousand years.
“Brother Ji Dao, I have offended you many times before.”
“Well, it’s the same for me. In such a catastrophic time, it’s always right to be a little more careful. If I had been more careful, I wouldn’t have been beaten to pieces and my path would be cut off.”
"The Five Elements Dharmakaya will not reduce its lifespan. After this calamity, Brother Ji Dao can devote himself to studying Taoism and rely on its restoration in the next life. Maybe it will be a blessing in disguise."
Lu Cheng is not. Knowing that Ji An has already had his body taken away once when he was in the golden elixir realm is not a glorious thing. Of course, Ji An will not spread the word that he has already taken his body once and cannot reverse the calamity.
Therefore, he forced his face to look slightly stiff, which was in line with his appropriate mood at the moment, and Lu Cheng did not notice anything unusual.
After passing Wei Shuyi's test, the two came to the Spiritual Planting Garden together. In the center of this 10,000-acre spiritual plantation garden, there was a huge five-element fruit tree.
At this moment, the fruit tree was bearing fruits one after another, and curled up inside were young men and women whose bones and muscles were completely transparent.
This situation is very similar to the ginseng fruit tree in old myths and legends. But in fact, this is the masterpiece of Ling Zhifu of this era in the past thousand years.
The vast majority of qi-training monks advance to the foundation-building realm and need the assistance of foundation-building pills to break through. When the foundation-building monks attack Zifu, they need Ziyang Warm Jade and Xuanying Chalcedony to assist in opening up the upper Dantian. When Zifu monks practice golden elixirs, they need Five Elements Pill Fruit or fifth-level demon elixir as external assistance.
The Five Elements Fruit Tree that grows the Five Elements Pill Fruit is not a spiritual plant of heaven and earth, but a spiritual plant that has been continuously improved, summarized, cultivated and created by generations of spiritual planters. It has greatly reduced the cost of tens of thousands of years. Since then, it has been the threshold for Zifu monks to practice golden elixir.
In the past thousand years, another sixth-level spiritual planter, Mr. Wang Daolian, summed up his experience and used secret techniques to modify the Five Elements Fruit Tree so that it could absorb a large amount of the Five Elements essence and preserve the Five Elements Dharma Body.
It was not good in the past, but it is different now.
There are a large number of such monks in the world of cultivating immortals. They have been developing Taoism with new ideas from generation to generation, and they have become more and more prosperous. Their influence on the entire world may even be greater than those of monks who have ascended to the upper world.
“Remember, Ji’an, the Yuanying True Lord of Lingyuan Palace on Kunzi Island, borrowed 200,000 for good deeds, and then Lingyuan Palace actually paid 100,000 spirit stones to purchase a dharma body.”
“I will obey the law.”
Although there are people guarding this place, once the Yuanying monks arrive, their role is only to record.
But at the same time, Lu Cheng faintly sensed that there was a powerful aura of mana in this spiritual plant garden. At least, it was in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. It was obviously loose on the outside and tight on the inside.
"Please, fellow railway members, protect me."
"Of course." Lu Cheng responded with a salute.
Then Ji An came to the unusually tall Law Body tree and began to look at the spiritual fruits one by one.
After a while, one was selected, and the Nascent Soul, which had originally changed to the size of a normal human body, suddenly converged and turned into the size of a baby and threw it into it.
Because everyone’s physique and the exercises they practice are different, the five elements of the Dharmakaya in these Dharmakaya fruits are only cultivated with a huge amount of the Five Elements essence until they are in a juvenile state and then no longer grow and develop, so as to facilitate the Yuanying monks. Get involved and adjust your body to achieve the best fit.
Although, based on the current understanding of the physical body in the world of immortality, it is impossible for the acquired Five Elements Dharma Body to be compared with the innate physical body in any way, but after the Nascent Soul monk adapts and becomes proficient, he can still exert 70% to 80% of his abilities.
Just by practicing the Five Elements Dharmakaya the day after tomorrow, it is almost impossible to increase your magic power.
As Ji An Yuanying invested in it, the young man in the Dharma Body Fruit began to grow rapidly, and became closer and closer to Ji An's original physical body.
A few hours later, when the sun was setting in the west.
With a slight crack, Zhenjun Ji'an came back to life. At least in appearance, he was no different from before.
"Go on."
Lu Cheng threw Zhenjun Ji'an's natal flying sword. Zhenjun Ji'an took the flying sword, and with a flash of inspiration, he took it into his body to warm it up.
“After thousands of years, maybe it won’t be a big deal if a monk loses his physical body. He can change his body like clothes and it will not hinder his path.”
Zhenjun Ji’an looked at his palm at this time, He clenched his fist slightly and felt the powerful mana flowing through his body, which could move mountains and fill seas.
“At that time, we may have ascended to the upper world, and we may actually be able to change our bodies like clothes in the upper world.”
For tens of millions of years, monks from the seven worlds of Dingzhang, Tongtian, Liehuo, Xuankong, Jumang, Yuqing, and Yin and Yang have been building spiritual veins and pursuing ascension.
According to the theories of some formation masters, monks building spiritual veins are as if they are constantly opening up the meridians for this purpose. If the heaven and earth are regarded as a huge human body, the spiritual veins are the mana that penetrates the body. Along the circulation route, one by one Yuan Shen monks ascended and introduced the huge spiritual energy from the upper world to the lower world. The monks at the lower and middle realms built spiritual veins. When the spiritual energy between heaven and earth reaches a certain extreme, the entire world will ascend.
Of course, this is just a theoretical deduction at the moment, and no one knows whether it is really the case.
Lu Cheng and Zhenjun Ji'an, who had obtained the Five Elements Dharma Body, returned to Kunzi Island through the teleportation array. At least, at this time, Kunzi Island resumed the situation where three Nascent Soul monks were stationed together. This is of course A good thing for the cultivators in the Northern Territory.
