Chapter 90: The Secret of Moving Mountains: The Difference between Immortals and Taoism
I returned from Shijun Mountain yesterday.
Chen Yulou was still calculating the time silently along the way.
After all, the agreed date is getting closer and closer, and there is no telling when the three brothers and sisters will come over.
For this reason, he also specially told Uncle Yu that if others were not in the village but went to the mountains or somewhere, let him first entertain them on his behalf.
Because he knew that Partridge Whistle was the most important person.
We will never break our promise even if we are thousands of miles apart.
If you make an appointment on the same day, it will be sooner rather than later.
But even he didn't expect that the three senior brothers and sisters would arrive so quickly.
You must know the original work.
Only once in his life did he break a promise.
When the two leaders moved mountains and unloaded mountains to steal Pingshan together, they agreed to make a big oath.
Chen Yulou said that when brother Taoist goes to the tomb in the future, he should bring the Xiling bandits to help him. If he violates this, he will be blinded at night.
Partridge Whistle also swore an oath that as long as Brother Chen goes to the grave, he will do his best to help, otherwise he will become a cripple.
But because of that collapse.
The underworld palace of General Yuan Ren appeared on the top of the mountain.
Partridge Whistle saw the mural about Muchen Bead, and then he went crazy.
It is concluded that the pill that the tribe has been seeking for thousands of years is buried under Heishui City.
Because of Pingshan's failure, Chen Yulou intends to go to southern Yunnan and fight vigorously to save the face of Xiling's boss.
The legendary tomb of King Xian is as difficult as climbing to the sky, so he wanted to invite Partridge Whistle to accompany him.
But having seen the murals, he only wanted to go to Mobei and find the legendary Blackwater City of Xixia.
The two broke up on bad terms.
This is the broken promise.
Chen Yulou was blinded by poison in Bug Valley, and Partridge Whistle also lost an arm.
That was the straw that broke the camel's back.
Partridge Whistle was disheartened and went overseas.
Chen Yulou believed that it was karma and became a fortune teller, hiding in the market.
It has traveled more than half a year.
Even he couldn't help but feel emotional every time he thought about it.
The bandits from Xiling, seeking wealth, went to the tomb of King Xian where Muchen Pearl was hidden.
But the leader who moved mountains only for the Danzhu went to Heishui City where there were countless gold and jade, but the Muchen Pearl was missing.
But to live a new life and step into the path of immortality, what you do is to change your fate against the will of heaven.
Pingshan group.
There should have been countless casualties. Guaizi, Kunlun, Hua Ling and the old foreigner all died and were buried in the mountains.
But now... they are all still alive.
Because of this, Chen Yulou became even more determined.
That is, destiny is not determined by fate, and people can also go against the trend.
"Yes, Brother Chen, long time no see."
While he was absentminded.
Partridge Whistle also reacted, clasping his hands into fists, and said in a deep voice with a magnanimous expression.
"I've met shopkeeper Chen."
"Boss Chen."
As soon as the senior brother opened his mouth, Hua Ling and the old foreigner behind him also said hello.
"Okay, let's go to the village, Kunlun, and talk to Uncle Yu."
"Yes, from the shopkeeper."
Chen Yulou dismissed the distracting thoughts in his mind, smiled, and turned back to remind Kunlun.
The Partridge Whistle on the side couldn't help but feel moved when he saw Kunlun's calm expression, clear eyes, and fluent answers.
"Brother Kunlun, are you... ready?"
Separating from Pingshan seemed to have taken a long time, but in fact it was less than a month.
It’s just that I’m on the road most of the time.
Only then will it feel like it’s been another year.
"I have met the leader, thank you for your concern."
"Thanks to the shopkeeper, I am no longer in serious trouble."
Looking at Partridge Whistle mentioning himself, Kunlun didn't leave in a hurry, but turned back and smiled at him.
“Okay, okay!”
"It's really gratifying that Brother Kunlun can break the golden rope and jade lock."
Seeing this, Partridge Whistle, who had always been silent and restrained, showed a rare expression of true feelings.
“Thank you, Leader Yang.”
Kunlun scratched his head.
Although he is psychic, he is still not very good at dealing with people.
Seeing his embarrassment, Chen Yulou immediately took over.
"Brother Yang has been working hard all the way, why not go to Zhuangzi for a cup of tea first, and then chat slowly."
"It's all up to Brother Chen's arrangement."
Partridge Whistle So why not.
In front of his junior brothers and sisters, he has always been accustomed to facing them with solemnity.
So sometimes when something happy happens, I don’t know how to express my feelings.
It is also out of pure appreciation for Kunlun.
Now that he has finally recovered, I can’t help myself.
When the shopkeeper opened his mouth, Kunlun grinned and turned around to leave without any further delay, going to find Uncle Yu first.
“Brother Tao, please!”
Chen Yulou did not waste any time and made a gesture of invitation.
Take a few people through the gatehouse and stroll towards the inner city.
“Why didn’t Brother Dao stay a few more days before the agreed date?”
Seeing that he was dusty and dusty, there was even dew on his temples. It looked like he hadn’t stayed up all night. Coming in a hurry, Chen Yulou couldn't help but ask.
“With the current situation in chaos, Yang was really worried that he would not be able to keep his appointment on time, so he had to leave early.”
Partridge Whistle shook his head, looking a little helpless.
After living in the clan for less than a week, he took his junior brothers and sisters and set off early.
I am just afraid that I will encounter the same thing as last time in Poyang Lake on the road.
In the past few years, he has been traveling deep in the mountains and forests in search of pearls.
There is almost no contact with the outside world.
Only when I went back this time did I realize that the mess outside was already like that.
Warlords are rampant, wars are raging, and there are refugees fleeing from disasters everywhere.
Another one.
The clan land that used to be lively and familiar is now just overgrown with weeds and deserted.
The longer he stayed, it was like cutting flesh with a dull knife, making him unable to sleep all night long.
Who would have imagined that in the middle of the night, he would walk back and forth in the old village alone, like a zombie without a soul. Sometimes he would not wake up from his memories until dawn.
Watch everything familiar turn into smoke.
That kind of pain is difficult to describe to others.
Hearing the sadness in his words, Chen Yulou didn't hesitate to ask more questions, but just changed his tone.
“I see that Brother Tao, his divine light is restrained and his energy is unified. I think he will be able to achieve a breakthrough in Qi harvesting soon.”
From the moment we met.
He noticed the changes in Partridge Whistle.
Completely different from the past.
He is now.
Although his eyes were bloodshot and could not hide his fatigue, his eyes were clear and there was no longer the sense of decadence and twilight he had before.
Even the gray on my temples has improved a lot.
"Brother Chen is overly praised."
"It couldn't be that fast."
Hearing this.
Partridge Whistle smiled and waved his hand.
However, there was humility in his words, but the gloom in his expression had obviously dissipated a lot.
There are not many things in this world that he cares about.
Aside from clan members and ghost curses, there is only this practice.
Although Chen Yulou reminded him that going too far is still not enough.
But he was suppressed by the ghost curse and touched by the scene in the village, so he did not dare to waste a single second.
During this period, in addition to sleeping, I was breathing and practicing hard even when I was eating and going on the road.
But hard work pays off.
On the day he left Pingshan, he was able to cross the Xiaolongmen and step into the Qi Refining Pass.
But this month has passed.
Nowadays, he has successfully collected Qi, and his old ailments have long been cured.
Even the ghost curse that could not be suppressed in the past and erupted faintly has been silent for a long time.
Of course, during this period, he did not forget to give guidance to Hua Ling and the old foreigner.
Junior sister’s talent is amazing.
We are almost reaching the threshold.
Although the old foreigners are slightly worse, they are also making progress visible to the naked eye.
"By the way, Brother Chen, I just have something to ask you."
Speaking of practice, Partridge Whistle remembered something, and his expression was serious. "Brother Dao, just say it directly."
Chen Yulou smiled freely and indicated that he should speak frankly.
“In this way of cultivation, Yang felt that the mountains were high and the road was far away, and it was difficult to see the end, so he went through the ancient books left by Shanmen’s ancestors and found something.”
"According to what the predecessors said, after collecting Qi, you can nourish Qi, after nourishing Qi, you can refine Qi, and then you can build the foundation."
"But I still can't figure out the way to nourish Qi. Brother Chen, can you help me clarify my doubts. "
Seeing this, Partridge Whistle did not show any pretense, and threw out all the problems encountered during this period of practice in one breath.
Just.
After hearing these words, Chen Yulou couldn't help but frown.
Collect qi, nourish qi, refine qi, and then you can build the foundation?
Recorded in Aoki Goshu.
It is obviously the fifth level of the Qi Refining Pass, which involves gathering Qi, strengthening blood, internal refining, spiritual consciousness, and the five Qi towards the Yuan. Only then can you knock on the pass and cross the Great Dragon Gate.
It is quite different from what Partridge Whistle said.
“Brother Taoist, can you take a look at the ancient books left by the ancestors of Bishanmen?”
At this moment, Chen Yulou didn't care about avoiding taboos and asked directly.
"...Of course."
Seeing his surprised look, Partridge Whistle thought something was wrong, subconsciously took off the bamboo basket behind him, opened it, and pulled out a book of oiled paper from the bottom The package of books comes.
Open it carefully and then solemnly hand it to Chen Yulou.
I saw them talking in front.
Few people dared to disturb him.
Hua Ling and Miss Hong hadn’t seen each other for a long time, so they held hands and talked about girls.
As for the old foreigner, he followed behind and looked at Chenjiazhuang curiously.
Hangzhou has been a prosperous place since ancient times.
But in his opinion, even Hangzhou seems to be far less prosperous.
Especially those people who come and go, whether it is the banker or the Chen family's clerk, everyone is full of energy and full of vitality.
It’s not like other places, every dish has dishes but no flair.
He was still marveling secretly.
Out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly saw the senior brother stop in the distance, took out another book and handed it to Chen Boutou.
Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but be startled.
That is the hard work of Taoist monks of all ages.
Not just him.
Hua Ling also blinked with surprise on her face.
“Let’s go and have a look.”
Seeing her looking towards the shopkeeper.
The red girl simply pulled her over there.
"The secret record of moving mountains?"
Chen Yulou held the book and glanced at a few words, and his heart couldn't help but move.
From this name, you can see the importance of this book to several people.
However, Partridge Whistle was worthy of his magnanimity, and he resisted the urge not to turn the page. He just followed the prompts and turned directly to one of the pages.
"A cultivator should serve the essence of the sun in court and eat the brilliance of the moon at night."
"Collect the energy of heaven and earth and cultivate it in the body, just like a furnace of water and fire refining together to build a ridge and condense it into a golden elixir."
< br>Scan at a glance.
Chen Yulou saw the line of writing instantly.
Exactly what Partridge Whistle said.
"Collect qi, nourish qi, refine qi, build foundation, golden elixir..."
"That's really the case."
Frowning slightly, Chen Yulou murmured in a low voice.
According to what Taoist Master Banshan said in the previous generation, all the ascetics in this world should be following this path.
It’s a slightly different path than Aoki Kochu.
But they reach the same goal by different routes.
They are all methods of breathing and exhaling.
"Brother Chen?"
Seeing that he fell into silence after reading the book, Partridge Whistle couldn't help but feel a little confused.
He was worried that he was on the wrong track.
It has taken a lot of effort to get to this point over the years. If something goes wrong, it will be extremely difficult to turn around.
"This..."
The three people who had already approached looked at each other in shock when they saw this situation.
Especially Hua Ling and the old foreigner, they had never seen their senior brother so eclipsed, and they did not dare to ask, so they could only wait worriedly.
Fortunately.
Chen Yulou was not absent-minded for long.
Soon, the fog in a pair of eyes dissipated, becoming clear and quiet again.
"Brother Chen, what's up, is something wrong?"
Partridge Whistle did not dare to hesitate at all.
Immediately asked.
"Brother Dao, don't be anxious."
Looking at him, he was worried and had a look of annoyance on his face.
Chen Yulou finally reacted and couldn't help but shake his head.
"The path written in the book should be correct. As for why Brother Tao has been unable to touch the threshold of nourishing qi, maybe you understood it wrong."
"Understood it wrong?"< br>
Partridge Whistle was shocked.
The look in his eyes once again showed a desire for advice.
“Collecting Qi to guide and move around the sky is actually the process of nourishing Qi.”
“This is a process of continuous accumulation and accumulation, rather than a specific journey, just like The lone traveler on the road at night just tells you that if you go forward, you will see the light."
"Does Brother Tao understand what Chen means?"
Chen Yulou said calmly.
The people on the side all looked thoughtful.
The four of them happened to be the ones who went to the Danjing that day and obtained the Xuan Dao Convincing Qi Foundation Building Skill from the lacquer coffin.
Although apart from Partridge Whistle, he entered the Qi Refining Pass because he swallowed the golden elixir.
Hua Ling, the old foreigner and the red girl have not crossed the dragon gate yet, but this does not affect their sudden feeling of enlightenment.
"Collecting qi, nourishing it, and refining it are actually the key to refining qi."
"When the practice is complete, you will naturally be able to open the door and build the foundation..."
The partridge whistle has a pair of profound His eyes flickered.
Following Chen Yulou's words he said softly.
“Yes.”
"Refining Qi and building foundation, these are the first two levels of Taoist practice."
Seeing him express his thoughts, Chen Yulou nodded heavily.
"I see..."
"Thank you, Brother Chen, for your advice!"
At this moment, the confusion in Partridge Whistle's eyes completely dissipated.
He finally understood.
It’s not that I took the wrong path.
But we fell into a dead end.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel scared. Fortunately, he came to Chenjiazhuang earlier, otherwise he would have fallen deeper and deeper into trouble, and there would be no way out when he wanted to look back.
“Do you understand?”
Chen Yulou turned to look at Hua Ling and the others.
"I understand, thank you, Boss Chen."
Hua Ling nodded with a smile.
The eyes looking at Chen Yulou were full of admiration.
The three brothers and sisters discussed it many times along the way, but they were unable to find out the problem.
But Chen just glanced at it.
A few sentences are profound.
Miss Hong seemed to understand, "I probably understand it, but... I still have some questions about the details."
"That's okay."
" There will be plenty of time to answer questions on the way to southern Yunnan.”
"In practice, you must not practice behind closed doors."
Chen Yulou shook his head and smiled.
While speaking, he glanced at the old foreigner again, who silently cupped his hands.
But the color in his eyes exposed his innermost feelings.
“Yes.”
The group of four people suddenly became enlightened.
Chen Yulou did not waste any more time, and led a few people along the long embankment by the lake to the Guanyun Tower in the inner city.
Not long after.
Wait for them to enter the building.
Uncle Yu has already had morning tea prepared.
"Brother Taoist, and the old foreigner Hualing, it has been a hard journey. Chen will have tea instead of wine. Thank you three for coming all the way to help."
