Chapter 155: Outlaw Refining (I)
Chapter 155: Outlaw Refining (I)
Life is like a bubble, and it is empty in the blink of an eye.
Leave the body and mind behind, and obsessively stay in the world......
Many years later, it is the ninth year after Chen Wenlong passed away with deep regrets in life and guilt for his wife and children.
In Pingshui City, a wealthy merchant surnamed Wang bought a long-abandoned mansion and planned to renovate it as a villa.
This house, which has been abandoned for a long time, has long been dilapidated, and needs to be built and renovated with great efforts to make it suitable for habitation.
The wealthy merchant was very attentive to this, and often visited the site to supervise the fortifications.
On this day, when I was digging a pond in the backyard, the craftsmen who were doing the work suddenly started to shout.
It turned out to be them, digging something strange out of the ground.
It is a large water tank with two mouths buckled together, the cylinder body is bounced with dense ink lines, vertical and horizontal like a net, the joint of the two cylinders, I don't know what material is used to seal, the glue is strong, impermeable.
Wealthy merchants knew that in the past, whenever there was a war, some rich and noble families would go out to avoid trouble, and often ...... gold, silver and jewelry Valuables that are not easy to carry and perishable are sealed underground and left for later when they come back.
And if the person who hides the treasure dies outside, or for various reasons, cannot return to his hometown, the treasure hidden will eventually be discovered by others.
This kind of thing, a wealthy businessman surnamed Wang, is also often heard.
Therefore, he was so excited, he didn't expect that he had unintentionally made a windfall?
So, he hurriedly asked someone to open it to take a look, but he was dumbfounded, and he couldn't help but feel like his soul flew out of the sky, as if he gasped.
I saw that there was no gold or silver treasure in the big water tank, but a man sitting cross-legged.
Judging by his appearance, he is over thirty years old, dressed in white and blue-haired, elegant and graceful, and looks like a scholar.
Not only that, but his skin was ruddy, showing no signs of decay, as if he was still alive.
Seeing this scene, all the people present were shocked, who is this?
Why is it sealed in a tank?
This house has been abandoned for many years, the land has not been turned over for a long time, and it is obvious that it has not been buried recently, but if it is a thing that has accumulated years, why has the body not decomposed?
Just as he was in shock, someone suddenly screamed, "Hair! Look at his hair!"
Everyone looked at it, and they all gasped and were stunned on the spot.
In front of everyone's eyes, the scholar sat in the jar with his arms in his hands, his full head of hair, along the circular wall of the jar, growing infinitely, and scattered around one by one.
In an instant, these blue strands resembled upside-down catkins and cocoons of silkworms, and enveloped the scholar's body in them.
Looking at the length of their extension, I am afraid that it is no less than a few zhang long.
As long as people don't die, their hair will always continue to grow, and this scholar's hair is so long, I don't know if it hasn't been trimmed for decades or centuries?
However, if it is buried in the ground for decades, hundreds of years, how can a person not die?
This strange logical contradiction made everyone shudder, and suddenly, the scholar's eyes opened, and his eyes were clear, if there was blood bursting out, it was very strange and terrifying.
Moreover, when the viewers were frightened, the scholar did not forget and smiled at everyone.
When the people saw this, they could still bear the horror in their hearts, and immediately someone screamed, and the rest of the people ran away.
But the rich merchant, who was still calm, took a step back and asked loudly, "Are you a human or a ghost?"
The scholar still smiled, and nothing else moved.
The others, far from the tank, were on guard, and when they saw the scholar, they did not make a sound, nor did they come out, except for a wink and a smile, and did not even turn their necks, as if they were stiff.
The rich merchant looked left and right, and felt that this scholar did not look like a vicious "foreign body", and he was quite kind-hearted, and he wanted to save people when he was afraid to go away.
But the strange thing is that the scholar rolled his eyes again and again, and his expression was very anxious, as if he did not want to come out.
The rich merchant thought that the scholar had not eaten for a long time, and that he must have been unable to speak because of this, so he poured tea and fed him to drink.
However, after the scholar drank the tea, he was still unable to speak.
Could it be that this man is seriously ill?
In this regard, the wealthy businessman was suspicious, he knew that the people at that time believed that taking ginseng had the ability to "bring the dead back to life", even if people only had their last breath, they could be hung with ginseng.
The rich merchant was rich, but he didn't care about a mere piece of ginseng, and immediately, he asked people to fry the ginseng soup and feed it to the scholar, but he just smiled, and still didn't move.
This is strange, so that the rich businessmen are completely unable to figure out the other party's origin.
That night, the wealthy merchant left a little servant named Yawa to guard the scholar, and he prepared a few gifts and went to the house of Master Ren in the city to visit his friends.
His friend, and the famous Mr. Wanshu in Pingshui City, Ren Pingsheng.
And this Ren Pingsheng, not only has a collection of more than 10,000 books and has learned all over the world, but also a famous naturalist, and his belly is full of anecdotes.
Seeing a friend's visit, Ren Pingsheng was also very happy, and immediately left the wealthy businessman to eat at home.
After three rounds of drinking, the rich merchant talked about the strange things in the family and the matter of the scholar.
When Ren Pingsheng heard this, he seemed to think of something, and exclaimed: "This must be a master of cultivation! It's just that because his deeds have not yet been completed, he can't speak, and it is most appropriate for you to bury him in the same place as usual." ”
When the wealthy merchant heard him say solemnly, he was busy asking for advice on what practice was.
Ren Pingsheng drank a glass of wine, sandwiched a piece of fried dried fish, put it in his mouth, crunched and chewed, and said something eloquently.
It turns out that after a person is born, his innate qualifications have been determined, and his physique and root bones are not easy to change.
If a mortal wants to cultivate to become an immortal, he must find some ways to refine his muscles and bones.
According to legend, the secret collection of Taoism is known as the miracle of immortal methods, and there are many shortcuts to rebirth and cultivation to achieve the Tao.
As far as Ren Pingsheng knows, there is a Taoist exercise called "Outlaw Refining Form", which is particularly bizarre.
As the name suggests, the so-called "refining form" cleanses the marrow, refines the divine form, and refines a pair of high-quality skins, so as to feather and ascend to the immortal.
The so-called "death" is the price of this technique, and the practitioner needs to "go to the netherworld", that is, he must die once before he has the hope of refining.
He also said: "As early as hundreds of years ago, there were many cultivators who tried to practice this technique, and one of the most profound predecessors also created a lineage for this purpose, called Haoyue Pavilion. ”
Ren Pingsheng said that this predecessor is not a mortal, he has been good since he was a child, one day three hundred years ago, he was given medicine by the immortal family, and after taking it for seven days, he stroked the sword and turned into a form, and achieved the Great Dao.
Since, the place where he ascended to the Tao is in a place called: Hazy Moon Mountain, therefore, in the cultivation realm, or in the folk wilderness, it is called "Hazy Moon True Monarch".
Later, a female apprentice of Haoyue Zhenjun, the Taoist name Huaiyinzi, occasionally received the teacher's kindness, and was awarded a Taoist book, and she began to practice hard day and night.
One day, she suddenly came to an enlightened place, and went to the bottom of a lake in front of her, and stopped in a cave where she died of exhaustion and no news.
