Chapter 10 Dharma Seal: Soft Rice
Once practice begins, time will fly by.
But in the blink of an eye, fourteen days passed.
The sky was dark, the last ray of sunset disappeared at the end of Jiuchuan Daze, and Yingke Island was once again shrouded in darkness.
In a quiet room, a young man wearing a green Taoist robe with five emerald green leaves embroidered on his sleeves was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.
In his hand, there was a piece of blue jade paper as thin as cicada wings.
However, the luster on the jade paper was extremely dim, as if it would be annihilated at any time, and the thickness that was already as thin as a cicada's wings became even thinner, as if it would turn into powder at any time.
The young man's eyes were closed tightly, but his brows were furrowed, as if he was immersed in the predicament.
On his exposed skin, green light spots sprouted from his body, like invisible roots, flowing endlessly, trying their best to suck the "nutrients" from the world.
But this root is extremely dim and shaky, and it seems that it may dissipate at any time.
The young man frowned even more tightly, and a black haze seemed to appear between his eyebrows.
But with his tenacity, he endured it, adjusted his breathing, and tried his best to integrate his mind into it.
“Boom!”
It seemed like something broke through the thick barrier and suddenly came out.
The sound was actually very light, like seeds breaking through the soil, but to Gu Yuan, who was fully integrated into it, it was like thunder on the ground, deafening.
The sky and the earth suddenly light up, and spiritual energy is like a tide, coming from all directions to Dantian.
Gu Yuan felt as if he had turned into a "sapling". Every inch of his skin and every strand of hair seemed to have turned into roots, constantly absorbing the aura of heaven and earth.
“Crash!”
This was the first time Gu Yuan practiced so freely. In a daze, he seemed to hear the sound of spiritual energy coming in like a tide.
If the previous Wanmujue was a small water pipe, today's Changqingtu is a water pump with full power.
"Crash!"
The spiritual energy is like water, Gu Yuan's skin, bones, and even hair are glowing with light, trying his best to absorb the endless stream of spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
The spiritual energy flows into the Dantian, and then condenses into magic power, like a trickle, flowing between the meridians and limbs, nourishing the body and strengthening the mind.
“It’s finally done!”
Feeling the growing magic power, Gu Yuan couldn’t help but open his eyes and let out a long breath.
For the past fourteen days, Gu Yuan has been visualizing the true picture, trying to understand the magic contained in it.
But it is a pity that although his temperament is tough, in terms of understanding, he is only average.
Half-contemplation, half-summary, going round and round, it took me a full fourteen days to finally understand and learn the true picture.
“Hoo!”
At this moment, the jade rubbing paper in Gu Yuan’s hand quietly turned into powder and dissipated in the quiet room.
Looking at the dissipated blue jade paper, Gu Yuan couldn't help but murmur to himself:
"According to Senior Brother Qiu, those with excellent talent can understand it in three days. Even if they take a mediocre number, they will only be able to understand it." It takes ten days, but I spent fourteen days, which is almost the level of the Lower House. There is a huge gap!"
This practice is a test given by Gu Yuan. He wants to see how he compares to Qingfeng Dao! How big the gap is between the disciples in the academy.
But now it seems that he is still far behind the disciples in the inner courtyard, let alone the true disciples of Jindan.
His talent and understanding can only barely reach the threshold of the inner courtyard, which is almost the same as that of the disciples of the lower courtyard.
Thinking of this, Gu Yuan couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Such a talent, if there is no accident, will be lost to everyone.
"But fortunately, I still have the stone bottle..."
Gu Yuan rubbed the palm of his hand, feeling the stone bottle that was about to be filled, and felt slightly relieved.
This will be his greatest support.
"If your talent is not good enough, you can only rely on chance to change it. Fortunately, in this world, in addition to magic seals, there are also body seals and life seals. As long as there are enough opportunities, it is not impossible to change your destiny against the will of heaven..."
Gu Yuan felt the four seals with different shapes and natural seal characters in his body, and his heart moved slightly.
"Buzz!" Along with the flow of mana, four seals suddenly came out of Gu Yuan's body, rising and falling beside Gu Yuan.
The first seal on the left is khaki in color, with a miniature black tortoise engraved on it and seal characters and Taoist patterns on the bottom. The two merge into one to form a unique pattern. There is endless circulation.
The spiritual energy between heaven and earth seems to be ready to move, echoing this strange seal pattern.
"Mysterious Turtle Seal!"
Practice in this world is a bit strange.
It is a world where Tao and Dharma are separated.
When monks visualize the true picture and study the magic formula, they can practice it and condense their magic power.
Mana has its own power. It can condense energy into walls, move mountains and rivers, and gather energy into needles. It is like a ball of invisible mud. It is ever-changing and can do many incredible things.
The longevity of monks and longevity is also the result of magical power.
But the magic power is difficult to stir up the aura between heaven and earth, activate the rules of the avenue, and do things that destroy the heaven and the earth.
It seems that there is a barrier between mana and heaven and earth, and the two do not blend together.
But the ancient power and wisdom reach the sky, and among all living things in the world, they peel off the cocoons and integrate the charm of Taoism, and finally deduce the "Dharma Seal".
The so-called Dharma seal is to smelt something with a natural "Tao pattern", condense its Dao pattern on the "seal" using a specific method, and then absorb it into the body to become a part of the monk.
This is the seal.
With the seal, the monk's magic power can communicate with the heaven and the earth, form spells, activate the Tao, and achieve the effect of destroying the heaven and the earth.
For example, Gu Yuan's "Black Tortoise Seal" is made from the back armor of a thirty-year-old Black Tortoise.
The black turtle's carapace is something that is born with its own Tao pattern.
But refining the seal is not that simple. Although the black turtle's back armor is born with Dao patterns, it cannot directly cast spells, nor can it be directly used by monks.
It must be completely melted with auxiliary materials and spiritual fire, and then the Tao pattern can be re-drawn according to the monk's ideas, only then can it be condensed into a seal.
As long as it becomes a Dharma Seal, it is like a seed, hidden in a monk's body. As long as the magic power is endless, the Dharma Seal can be stimulated to achieve the effect of protecting the road and killing.
And this world is vast and vast, and there are countless rare treasures and patterns in the world.
Under the exploration of countless sages and geniuses, sword seals, body seals, life seals, and many other strange things were born one after another.
Among them, the body seal is a strange seal that can change the monk's talent and body, which is extremely mysterious.
When Gu Yuan was in the Qingmu Sect, he heard about a kind of body seal called the Seven Treasures Body Seal. This seal melts seven kinds of rare treasures from the world. Once it is mastered, the monk is equivalent to having seven more Dantians in his body. , you can practice the seven methods at the same time, without interfering with each other, and integrated into one. The magic power increases day by day, which is extremely mysterious.
Enough to change anyone's qualifications.
In addition, it is said that the ancestor of the Qingmu Sect once practiced a Seizing Wood Seal.
After possessing this seal, there is no need to practice. As long as you find a spiritual tree that is more than a thousand years old and sit under the tree, you can automatically capture the spirit of the wood spirit, strengthen your cultivation, and prolong your life.
However, it is said that this seal has disadvantages, and the ancestor of the Aoki Sect seems to have disappeared because of this, leaving only a broken legend.
But no matter what, there is no other wonderful method in this world. As long as there are enough opportunities, there is a chance to change your life.
“Now I only have four seals, the Black Turtle Seal, the Flame Dragon Seal, the Chasing Moon Seal, and the Ice Lock Seal, and they are all inferior seals of the Qingmu Sect. I want to equal the cultivation of the disciples of the Qingfeng Taoist Academy. There is still a long way to go..."
Looking at the four seals beside him, Gu Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
Although he joined the Taoist Academy, his strength did not improve much, which made him feel a little uneasy.
Because he knew that the cause and effect between himself and Master Jindan was over. Once this news was known to outsiders in the future, there would be many tests immediately.
Taoist temple is a river and lake.
Without a backer and being mediocre, it is destined to be difficult to gain a foothold.
“I wonder if the stone liquid can help me eat soft food?”
Suddenly, the previous thoughts came to Gu Yuan’s mind again.
