Chapter 7 Guangchanzi
In the next few days, Li Wuxiang practiced "Guang Chanzi". The Taoist book obtained by Zhao Puppet was not complete, and many pages were missing. However, Li Wuxiang followed the main idea of the book and added his own speculations, so he did not encounter any major problems.
He felt that the content taught in the early stages of this book was not very profound. It mainly taught people to practice physical training, and it was a particularly biased one.
In his intuition, tempering the body should be a relatively balanced process. The skin, muscles, and internal organs should be gradually strengthened. It is even said that the internal organs should be the foundation, just like maintaining the internal organs and endocrine system. Healthy, the physiological condition of the whole person will naturally improve.
But Guangchanzi's book focuses first on the tempering of skin and flesh, and even the method of qi and blood circulation in it, which will ask people to collect the vitality of the internal organs and feed it back to the body and skin. Therefore, Li Wuxiang guessed that this book might be a relatively low-level Qi refining method. He also imagined the previous situation of the author - he was in an extremely dangerous environment and faced life and death fights every day. Use the method of overdrafting the essence to temper the skin so as to survive, and then slowly strengthen the essence and strengthen the essence.
And his current situation is very similar to that of the author at that time.
In just a few days, Zhao Xi seemed to have recovered as before, and Li Wuxiang realized more and more that he had completely underestimated her before.
Although there are not many things on the second floor of this cave, Zhao Puppet and Zhao Xi did not pay attention to the cleanliness of the room in the past, so the ground was full of ashes, charcoal residues, and some food residues left from the past. Ordinary people may not feel uncomfortable in this kind of environment, but these days he takes a pill of Fuyuan Baosheng Pill every day and practices Guangchanzi diligently. His health has gradually improved and his five senses have become sharper.
Therefore, this body that had lived in an extremely clean environment for a long time became increasingly intolerable to the mess and various odors on the second floor, so he called Zhao Xi to tidy up the house.
The ashes on the ground and in the alchemy furnace, the fine carbon slag, and the dead bones in the stone chamber on the first floor were all put into sacks first, then lifted to the door and thrown into the sea of fire outside. As for such a heavy sack, Zhao Xi could carry it on his back with just two hands. He only had to rest once after carrying it four or five times.
Faced with such a companion who was inexperienced in the world but possessed the intuition of a beast, Li Wuxiang realized that Guangchanzi's current practice method might really be the most suitable for the current situation - he had to make himself as strong as possible. , so that you can slowly figure it out with peace of mind.
When it comes to cleanliness, Li Wuxiang thinks of water. The second floor where Zhao Puppet and Zhao Xi originally lived also had a stone pool in the corner, and the clear water in it also seeped out from the wall.
Zhao Xi said that the sea of fire outside often changes. In the past few days, the sea of fire has been relatively calm, but in a few days, the sea of fire will surge in intensity, and even more giant trees will collapse from the sky, further adding to the fire. But during this process, more water seeped out of the wall—from the usual slow drops to a trickle.
For more than ten years, she had taken these things for granted and thought they were part of the laws of the world. But after Li Wuxiang heard these things, he realized that they seemed to mean that the world was not really dead.
Is it possible that they are in the middle of a war between gods? Listening to Zhao Xi's description, it's like the gods are still fighting fiercely in the sky! As the fire grew stronger, more water seeped out... Could it be that a fire god and a water god were fighting? Are there other places that have not yet been affected?
Li Wuxiang told Zhao Xi this speculation, but she didn't seem very excited, perhaps because she had no exact idea of what it was like outside.
But Li Wuxiang had already begun to prepare for a long journey.
Guangchanzi was kept in Zhao Xi's hands, so he asked Zhao Xi to read the further contents for him, hoping to see if there were any other useful magical powers. But he didn't know it by looking at it. After looking at it like this, he realized that Guang Chanzi's Taoist book was far more evil than he thought.
At the current stage of practice, using the essence of the viscera to feed the skin is already unconventional. However, after reading the following, I realized that this Taoist book does not ask people to temper any viscera at all, but just To abandon them.
Now in the first stage of his cultivation, called "Fa Zhen Zhong", he uses the essence of his organs to strengthen his skin. The second stage is called "Jie Jiugong", which is to keep the mind in the skin and imprint all the body's orifices into the skin step by step. At this stage, the internal organs have begun to fail, while the skin becomes more and more pure and perfect, which can be said to be There are pure gold and jade on the outside, and ruins on the inside. The third step, called "Pilching the Golden Clouds", is to refine the three souls and seven souls into the skin, and then combine it with other rituals to completely abandon the other parts of the body. This is equivalent to the "Elixir Formation" of other methods. ".
At this point, this Guangchanzi has been considered a masterpiece, and people can only keep this "skin", move in the wind, change in thousands of ways, and absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth to consolidate themselves. If you can learn some other spells, according to the book, "you will become a Qingnang Immortal."
Li Wuxiang frowned when he read this book, thinking that this thing most likely belonged to some evil sect, otherwise it shouldn't be so weird. But after thinking about it for a while, he decided to continue practicing this thing. Even if there was another Taoist book at this time, he still had to practice this thing. Because this cult had an advantage that he couldn't refuse.
According to Zhao Puppet, any cultivation method requires a lot of resources for practitioners to consume. For example, in the past few days, thanks to the three Fuyuan Baosheng Pills, he was able to gradually regulate the turbid qi and chronic diseases in his body, and barely put his body into a state suitable for cultivation.
But if you proceed in the future, if it is a different method, you will need more and more resources to help you practice. Although this Guang Chanzi also needs to be consumed, it consumes the essence of the internal organs that has been gradually grown for more than ten years and contains a person's innate energy - under the current situation, it can almost be considered self-sufficient.
In this way, after another ten days, Zhao Xi's attitude towards him gradually changed. They were not close at first and were still a little wary, but then gradually became relaxed and easy-going. Gradually, they asked Li Wuxiang about the origin of the "external evil". After the two of them worked together to clean the stone room, they spent every day in the alchemy furnace. They lit a fire and showed him how to use the remaining ingredients to refine the "marching pills" he ate down there, making the room so smoky that he frowned.
After another month, Li Wuxiang knew that he had achieved the first step in Guangchanzi's poem.
According to the time recorded by the water dripping from the clepsydra, it should have been early in the morning. Li Wuxiang was breathing in and out according to the instructions recorded in the Taoist books - thinking that there was a slight golden light all over his body, causing the breath to be inhaled from the nostrils. Walking through Tiantu, Yutang and Zhongting, he fell into the Lower Dantian. After that, the breath is not allowed to travel to complete a complete circle, but the breath is radiated from the Dantian along the veins to the limbs and bones, and then merges into the skin.
When Li Wuxiang usually breathes out like this, he still needs to breathe out slowly after thinking about it. But at a certain moment, when he was thinking like this again, he suddenly felt a slight stagnation in his chest and abdomen, and then there was a lightness and coolness in his body, as if the many orifices that had blocked the chest and abdomen cavities in the past, suddenly Everything melted away - he breathed in the Dantian, his skin was slightly warmed, and then he expelled all the breath.
His heart moved, and he adjusted his breath nine times. He felt that the skin all over his body was loose and comfortable, and his chest and abdomen were empty. There was a sound of thunder, and he knew that he had reached the stage mentioned in Guangchanzi, "the true seeds are everywhere, and the nine palaces are empty." realm.
He didn't expect it to be so soon. Zhao Xi said that Zhao Puppet once told her that it would take an ordinary person at least a year of hard work to get to this point. Even if the qualifications are excellent, it would only be more than a month, and she would be this "more than a month".
Perhaps it was because the original owner of the body had been taking that "marching pill" for a long time, and there were already some precious medicinal materials in it. Although he had been starved to death before and was weak, his constitution was extremely pure. And he has lived in confusion for a long time, and his mind can be called pure. The two complement each other, and coupled with his own speculation, there may be a battle between gods outside and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is full, so it is almost possible to reach this point.
The stone chamber has been rearranged. During the last cleaning, he pushed the screen back in its original position and moved the wooden couch to the front. Zhao Xi slept on the wooden couch and guarded the marching pills being refined in the alchemy furnace. He made a bed for himself on the ground with the robes of the "hundred officials" and empty sacks, and now he is sitting on this bed.

Li Wuxiang slowly opened his eyes, and with a little force on his cross-legged legs, he immediately bounced off the ground lightly. At this moment, he felt that he was as light as a swallow, and he couldn't help but want to find an open place to run wildly, or punch a few times quickly. This was the effect of Guang Chanzi's "Fa Zhenzhong" realm.
Not only his body, but also his five senses seemed to have become sharper at this time. But this is not something he should be happy about, because Zhao Xi has been refining marching pills for the past month. Even when he was asleep at this time, the reddish charcoal residue was burning in the pill furnace to warm and nourish the unfinished pills. pills, so there was always a smell of smoke in the room, and now it was even more pungent.
Normally at this time, he would go to the door and push the stone door open a crack to take a breath. Although there is a sea of fire outside, and huge trees often fall from the thick fire clouds rolling in the sky, it seems that because of the restriction outside the cave, the wind blowing into the door is not dirty except for the warmth.
Li Wuxiang walked to the door again, easily pushed the stone door open to a gap and took a few breaths, then closed the door and walked to the screen again.
Now that he has been able to completely live without grains, from today on, he plans to teach Zhao Xi the complete breathing and breathing method of the "Fa Zhenzhong" state as agreed. At this time, the girl was sleeping on the wooden couch, curled up, as if she was afraid of something in her dream, but she kicked aside the thin quilt made of sacks.
Li Wuxiang smiled and planned to go over and cover her with a quilt. But just as he was about to take a step, he stopped. After a moment of sluggishness, he felt a chill running from his back to the top of his head.
He smelled a very faint smell. A very light, very light... bamboo aroma.
