Volume 2: The Great Tribulation of the Lich Chapter 355: Mingyu wants to make trouble, the second in command's inextricable bond with martial arts
Mingyu and Xiye left Tanggu, crossed the ocean and headed straight for Jinao Island.
Soon after it settled, the jade chime on the Zizhi Cliff began to ring.
All is quiet in all directions, and the sage begins to preach.
This time, the saint talked about the way to immortality.
The fairyland is different from the mortal world, and the most important thing about it is longevity.
Earthly immortals, who have half of heaven and earth, accept talents from the world. Although they do not realize the great way, they only achieve small successes, and their achievements cannot be seen. They only live forever in the world and do not die in the human world.
As the beginning of the fairyland, the earthly immortals, since they possess half of heaven and earth, can be said to be the cornerstone of the immortal way and are very important.
The method of tempering the body of an earthly immortal. For a Taoist to become an immortal, he must be reborn, shed his mortal body, and cultivate immortal bones. There are many methods to become an earthly immortal, and there are many bodies of earthly immortals. The saints have explained them one by one.
Mingyu did not adopt all of them this time. He savored them carefully, selected the suitable method, and then deduced them on his own, absorbing the essence of them.
Tongtian taught the methods of becoming an earthly immortal for about a hundred years, and then he became a celestial immortal.
Celestial immortals value the process of transformation into immortals. The bodies of celestial immortals are as light as feathers, and can float up to the ninth heaven. The bodies of celestial immortals are extremely light, and to achieve the body of a celestial immortal, one must eat clouds and drink dew, absorb the pure air from the ninth heaven, and eliminate impurities and dirt to achieve the body of a celestial immortal.
There are not many ways to become an immortal, and the most authentic one is only one, which is to endure loneliness, practice qigong persistently, and success will come naturally.
But if one wants to cultivate the body of a celestial being and achieve immortality, one must survive the thunder tribulation. Those who survive will become immortals, while those who fail will either die or become disabled. Their path to enlightenment will stop and they will find it difficult to make any further progress. Their life span will be exhausted and they will eventually turn into dry bones.
When Mingyu heard this, she agreed but reserved her own opinion.
He really wanted to tell the leader that there was actually a cultivation system called Ghost Immortal, which was about surviving death, and the main point was to transcend the underworld. If one failed to survive the catastrophe, it didn't matter if the body was destroyed, as long as the soul survived, one could still practice to the immortal realm of the true spirit.
But Mingyu finally held back. He couldn't say it now. This was his method, belonging to the ghosts, and the authentic method of the earth. Nowadays, it was only circulated in the underworld, and was considered a minority. It was not the mainstream method of cultivating both sex and life in the prehistoric world.
Furthermore, Tongtian is a saint of the Heavenly Way. You interrupted him while he was preaching and even talked about some earthly ways. This is tantamount to destroying the leader's place and slapping the saint in the face. No matter how good your relationship is, you cannot make such a fuss.
The saint emphasized on various methods of avoiding the three disasters and preventing lightning strikes.
It's mainly formations, using the power of the earth veins to resist natural disasters. This is also the biggest reliance of ordinary earth immortals.
There are many magical treasures that can block heavenly calamities, but ordinary earthly immortals cannot possess them.
After the Celestial Immortals are the True Immortals, who have touched upon the true meaning of heaven and earth, and who place equal emphasis on training Qi and studying the mysteries of the universe.
But the sage still talked about the method of practicing Qi, and did not mention a word about the method of understanding the truth. The sage described every detail of practicing Qi over and over again, step by step.
Some of the listeners also learn step by step, little by little, over and over again, according to the method to circulate their true Qi and hone their magic power, and those who can do this are all minor immortals, Taoists and monks.
Those cultivators who have been at the Xuanxian, Jinxian and even Taiyi levels for many years do not pay much attention to these methods, because they feel that they already understand and have mastered them, and there is no need to listen to them again.
Little do people know that the great Dao is cultivated with the heart, and only those who pay attention to the smallest details can realize the great freedom. Tongtian, the supreme saint, taught his own great Dao to everyone without reservation, and even patiently explained the wonderful methods of cultivating immortals and the essence of practicing Qi. How can we not savor it carefully?
But Taoist practice is ultimately about fate. If you don't eat even if food is placed in front of your mouth, then even a saint can't do anything about it. Tongtian will still ignore this kind of people.
Mingyu listened to Tongtian's method and summed it up in one sentence: this is a saint who is extremely good at refining Qi.
Lao Tzu emphasized Taoism, Yuanshi emphasized principles, and he emphasized refining Qi.
Externally, refine the Qi of heaven and earth; internally, refine the spirit in your chest, practice Taoism in a down-to-earth manner, take the straight path instead of seeking crookedness; this is very effective.
After the sage finished talking about the True Immortal, he started talking about the Mysterious Immortal, which he talked about for a full four hundred years. After he finished talking about the Mysterious Immortal, he didn’t end it. The sage specially spent some time talking about the formation.
Not many, just about three thousand!
There are formations of all sizes at your fingertips. Some gather spirits and luck, some assist in cultivation, some specialize in defense, some form a single formation, and some are combined into forces. There are many that can kill people and trap people, and there are also many that can be used for fighting and conquering. There are many kinds of formations for you to choose from.
Mingyu thought to himself, "It seems that the leader is too pent up! He didn't talk about formations last time, probably because he was a little restrained before entering the immortal path. Now that he has finished talking about the first four levels of the immortal realm, he brought out three thousand exquisite formations in one breath. No wonder there are so many formation talents among the later generations of Jiejiao immortals."
This person is not only a saint who specializes in Qi training, but also a celestial being who has mastered the art of formation!
"That's the best!"
Mingyu thought about the Yujing Tower she had built in Tanggu, and smiled unconsciously.
Wait a minute, he's going to ask to be kept after class!
I'm determined to take care of this little trick, no one can help me!
On the Zizhi Cliff, the sage who was speaking excitedly suddenly frowned. He looked around suspiciously, but found nothing. Finally, he set his eyes on Mingyu. Seeing that Mingyu was listening seriously, he let down his guard... What the hell!
Although he had no evidence, his intuition told him that this good nephew was likely to cause trouble again!
"The sermon is over, don't leave, stay!"
There was a hint of command in the leader's tone; he was afraid that Mingyu would run away as soon as the get out of class was over.
Little did they know that this was exactly what Mingyu wanted.
"Oh, uncle-master, you took the initiative to keep me here. I'm going to ask you some tricky questions later. You'll have to give me some advice!" Mingyu stroked his chin and laughed.
Seeing this, Xi Ye felt a chill down his spine for no reason and couldn't help shivering.
"The wind in the East China Sea is quite strong!"
…
In the southeast of Honghuang, outside Fengqi Mountain.
Fuxi appeared here without any warning, wearing a black Taoist robe, with black hair like a waterfall, phoenix eyes and sparse brows, and an elegant demeanor. The mountain breeze gently brushed his sleeves, making him look even more handsome.
Beside him, there is a Taoist in green clothes, wearing a purple gold crown inlaid with jewels, with a beard as sharp as a knife and eyebrows as black as ink painting. He has the appearance of an immortal. In his hand, there is a precious mirror with a mysterious light. It contains the principles of Yi and the hexagrams are changeable, which is really interesting.
Fuxi stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the human tribe not far away, and asked Taoist Taiyi: "This martial art is really not taught by you?"
A look of surprise flashed across Taiyi's face, and then he smiled and said, "According to my personality, if he really opens up a martial arts lineage, he will probably keep it quiet for a while, and then choose a time to report it to the heaven and earth and even to all living beings in the prehistoric world, and first take some merit from the heavenly way."
Fuxi was delighted when he heard this, and he said, "That's true!"
Tai Yi spread his hands and said, "So the martial arts is completely a path that belongs to the human race, but it is still in the exploratory stage and has not yet developed to maturity."
"Um."
Fuxi nodded, and then he looked towards the human tribe not far away. Seeing many martial artists training their bodies and concentrating their blood and qi, he couldn't help but ask, "Their martial arts training methods seem to be different from those elsewhere?"
"That's right."
Taiyi introduced: "Today, the human race's martial arts have not yet formed a complete system. The three leaders and the human race's sages have called on all tribes to actively explore the way forward. Therefore, many human races practice different martial arts, and the differences are even huge.
Fortunately, every once in a while, the human race's ancestral land will integrate the paths explored by various parties, repeatedly confirm their feasibility, and integrate them bit by bit. Now it can be considered that the first five realms of the martial arts are determined, corresponding to the five realms of the immortal way. "
"Have you collected any martial arts classics?" Fuxi suddenly asked.
"Yes, they are all here, and have been prepared long ago!" Taiyi smiled, took out a jade slip from his sleeve, and handed it to Fuxi.
Fuxi looked at it and saw the seven large characters "Qi Refiner Training Manual". He couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Martial arts is martial arts, why do you need to do all these fancy things?"
Tai Yi quickly complained : "Great God, this is really none of my business. The human race wants to keep a low profile and does not plan to make their martial arts public for the time being, so they have this strategy. Anyway, immortal cultivators absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and martial artists refine their own blood and qi. They are all qi refining, so there is nothing wrong with calling it this name."
As a disciple taught by himself, how could Fuxi not know Mingyu's ability to make things happen? Even Taiyi, the Taoist body, was the same. It was a great honor for Fuxi to believe half of what he said.
Therefore, Fuxi did not hesitate and continued reading.
The first realm of martial arts is to refine qi and blood.
The second level of martial arts is to cultivate strength.
The three realms of martial arts, a chance for new life.
The four realms of martial arts become the exterior scenes.
The five realms of martial arts open up the divine treasures.
In a word, martial arts taps into the potential of the human body, starting from the qi and blood, and cultivating both inside and outside. It is all about moving forward courageously and wanting great strength to make miracles happen!
"good!"
Fuxi admired that although the human race's martial arts had some flaws, it was very much to his liking. The second in command liked to convince people with reason and make the final decision!
After Fuxi understood martial arts, he suddenly found the three words "Qi Refiner" much more pleasing to the eye.
The name sounds low-key, but it is actually domineering. It sounds exciting to hear a Qigong practitioner beating up an Immortal Cultivator.
Fu Wenwenere Fengqi Mangfu Xi approved of this: "It has quite a bit of the style of this poor Taoist."
Seeing this, Taoist Taiyi immediately became active. He came to Fuxi and said, "Great God, you have also seen that the human race's martial arts has stopped at the fifth realm of divine treasures. Once the five divine treasures of Jianggong, Niwan, Xiyi, Yuchi, and Huangting are opened, warriors can fight against golden immortals. But after developing to this point, there is no way to continue. It's difficult for the human race!"
Fuxi looked at the Taoist Taiyi with a smile, who had a bitter look on his face, without saying a word, just quietly waiting for what to say next.
Sure enough, Taiyi complained for a while, then asked: "Great God, do you have any thoughts on this human martial arts?"
"A little bit." Fuxi nodded slightly.
Taoist Taiyi took advantage of the victory and pursued, "So do you have any idea about the future of martial arts?"
“A little.”
Fuxi nodded and did not deny that he did have some ideas.
“That’s great!”
Taoist Taiyi clapped his hands and laughed.
Fuxi said, "Don't ask me yet. Tell me your idea first. Don't tell me that you took great pains to bring me here, but you didn't make any preparations?"
"Of course I can't let you make this trip in vain!"
The second in command decided to join, and Taoist Taiyi took out all the plans he had prepared.
"Master, please take a look at this first." Taoist Taiyi handed Fuxi a mysterious jade book.
"The method of practicing martial arts?"
"Yes, this path, learn from the witch clan, specialize in physical training, and seek immortality of the flesh!"
Fuxi frowned, "Not cultivating the soul?"
Taoist Taiyi shook his head, "Don't practice! It's hard to make progress with the complicated ones. Just take the pure path. Kill the gods if they stand in your way, and kill the immortals if they stand in your way!"
Fuxi didn't comment on this, "What about the other one?"
"This is the method of cultivating martial arts with Qi!" Taoist Taiyi handed Fuxi a purple gold book.
"This path goes back and forth to refine Qi, use Qi to open up the ultimate martial arts and explore infinite possibilities."
After Fuxi saw it, he pointed out the problem, "The human body has limited blood and energy. Where does your energy come from? If you extract the energy of heaven and earth, then it is no different from the way of immortality."
Taoist Taiyi took out another jade slip and said, "This is the method of cultivating martial arts. Temper your mind and cultivate the divine will of martial arts. This will break through the illusion and make your own will seem real. You can control the power of heaven and earth with your will."
"Is this inspiration from the method of ghost immortals?" Fuxi asked.
"Nothing can be hidden from the great god." Taiyi replied.
Fuxi looked at these three methods in silence, concentrating his mind in meditation, with the innate Bagua running endlessly throughout his body. He repeatedly argued and deduced infinitely, seeking possibilities.
Taiyi was not in a hurry and just waited.
a long time.
The runes dissipated, and Fuxi opened his eyes. He said, "The road ahead is blocked. It is not impossible to pursue the limit with a single method and take an unconventional approach, but it needs to be corrected."
Taoist Taiyi's eyes lit up, "Great God, do you have a way to make up for the flaws?"
"Not yet. The best way is to integrate the essence, energy and spirit and verify each other. However, these three methods are very extreme. Not only are they mutually exclusive to some extent, but even if they are forcibly integrated, the final effect may not be as good as specializing in one method. Therefore, we still need to study it." As a professional researcher , Fuxi will not rush to draw conclusions. Truths that have not been proven by facts are always too empty.
"What does the great god think?" asked Taoist Taiyi.
Fuxi thought for a moment and said, "My thinking is also quite extreme, and even dangerous."
Extreme? Dangerous?
Taoist Taiyi was slightly stunned.
Wow, I really said it. Should I say that we are of the same lineage?
"Master, please explain in detail." Taoist Taiyi made a gesture of invitation.
Fuxi sorted out his thoughts and then said, "My method is to work on the 365 acupoints in the human body and use my great magical power to open up a world, or a small world, in each acupoint..."
Creating the world within the human body?
Taoist Taiyi blinked.
The master is worthy of being a master, he really knows how to have fun!
According to legend, Emperor Xi created the world with one stroke of the brush. Could this be the case?
