Chapter 185: Soul Nourishment, Qi Gathering
“…… When I was fifty-three years old, I got a clue to an ancient tomb, and then set off, it was that time, I met Honggu, she had just come out of Hongyu Mountain, and because she was not familiar with the outside world, so I took her, but I didn't expect that the ancient tomb was dangerous, and several tomb robbers I took died in the process of exploring the ancient tomb, I had a hard qigong body, so there was no danger, and the last survivors were only me and Honggu, the same, I didn't expect Honggu to have evil arts, very powerful, But it's also terrifying, she can actually make a dead body stand up again......"
Then Gu Shengping slowly told what happened to him in the ancient tomb.
Gu Shengping himself is a tomb robbing enthusiast, which can be seen from the fact that he dug up all his Lao Tzu's graves, and the time with Honggu was also the last tomb stolen by Gu Shengping. The ancient tomb was extremely dangerous, and several times, Gu Shengping almost died in the ancient tomb, but fortunately, with the help of Honggu, he was able to reach the core of the ancient tomb smoothly.
As for the owner of this tomb, it is said that it is the tomb of an unknown Fang Shi of the pre-Qin Dynasty, and the Fang Shi is the title of the alchemist among the Qi refiners of the pre-Qin Dynasty, who generally mainly cultivates Danshu and refines the so-called "elixir of life" in order to win the favor of the emperor and thus obtain supreme power.
The pre-Qin Qi Refiner is just a legendary existence, but the Fang Shi is a real existence, the Qi Refiner practices immortality, and the Fang Shi has found another way and found a shortcut, that is, refining the elixir, in the process, they have also created countless kinds of elixir, but the only regret is that there is no elixir, but even so, it also makes everyone see hope, so that more and more Qi Refiners have turned to the Fang Shi in order to obtain the fastest method of immortality.
The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was the transition period of the pre-Qin period, until the unification of the Qin State, the pre-Qin Qi refiners were basically disconnected, leaving only a few old and weak monks, and finally when looking for elixir medicinal materials, most of the remaining monks were also sent by Qin Shi Huang to the islands outside the territory, and at this time, the people in the entire Fang Shi world were no longer one out of ten.
Chen Du has also dabbled in this legendary history described in Gu's life, but he only listens to it as a mythological story, what is immortality, and what is the same longevity as the sky? If it really existed, a dynasty would not rise and fall in just a few hundred years.
As for the Qi Refiner, it is even more mysterious, what kind of flying sword kills people, and takes the enemy's head thousands of miles away? And what kind of Edgeworth flying...... I don't know if a martial artist will practice to the realm of being able to fly?
But Fang Shi is a group of people who do exist, they have alchemy all the year round, the most important thing is to refine the elixir of immortality, but the various pills they have created in this process have also many of them have survived to the present, the most famous of which is the Dan prescription of "Flowing Pill", as long as the material has entered the flow of grass, combined with a few common Chinese medicines, Dancheng, can increase the strength of more than 100 catties, the effect is about ten times that of a single dose of the flow of grass, the most important thing is that you don't have to be afraid of taking the pill without being affected by the supplement, that is, it purely increases the strengthThere will be no side effects.
However, it is a pity that after such a long history, there are not many pills left behind, and even if there are left, it is difficult to find raw materials, let alone refine the pills.
“…… There are many mechanisms in the ancient tomb, but most of them are cold weapons, with my peak strength of hard qigong at that time, ordinary swords have been difficult to hurt me at all, and finally we got the things in the ancient tomb as we wished, which are two bamboo slip books and two pills, bamboo slips are two cultivation things, and correspond to two pills, because I am a little jealous of Honggu, afraid that she will have bad intentions, so I have to divide the thing into two, half of her, half of me......"
Gu Shengping talked about this, and Chen Duan immediately interrupted it.
"What are bamboo slips and pills, and what are they for?"
Chen Du keenly felt that the biggest secret of Gu's life was probably here, and the pill might be the elixir left by Fang Shi.
Gu Shengping replied: "The bamboo slips are all written in ancient compilations, and then we found many paleographic experts, and finally were able to crack the content on the bamboo slips, one of the bamboo slips is called 'Soul Nourishing Chapter', the other bamboo slip is called 'Qi Gathering Chapter', and the two pills are also called 'Soul Nourishing Pill' and 'Qi Gathering Pill' respectively. ”
Chen Du nodded, and asked again, "Which bamboo slip did you get?" ”
Gu Shengping said: "It was the 'Soul Nourishing Chapter', and in the end, it was found that the pill did not contain toxins, so I swallowed the 'Soul Nourishing Pill' in it, and Honggu took away another bamboo slip and the 'Qi Gathering Pill'. ”
Sure enough, Chen Dui's eyes instantly cleared, and he seemed to understand something all of a sudden.
Soul Nourishment, as the name suggests, is something linked to the soul, and Gu Sheng's own soul is indeed very special, causing Chen Du to be a little powerless to use his hypnotic ability, and finally used coercive methods to enslave the other party.
However, there is another point that makes Chen Duan very confused, according to Gu Shengbi, the other party should be an old man about sixty years old now, but Gu Shengping in front of him is obviously only in his twenties, not much older than Chen Dui himself.
After thinking about it, Chen Du suddenly said, "You're not Gu Shengping, right?" ”
didn't think about it, Gu Shengping nodded decisively and said: "Yes master, I am not Gu Shengping, I was originally a king of the underground world, known as the 'King Kong King', but there are too many enemies, I came to Nantong City two years ago to attend a banquet, I was retaliated by the enemy, and I was buried under the floor of the meeting place, and finally I was blown up and killed, and the corpse was nowhere to be found, but I felt that I was not completely dead, and after I woke up, I occupied Gu Shengping's body." ”
Takeaway!? Could it be that there really existed in the world as a Qi Refiner? Chen Dui was shocked in his heart, he had only seen this kind of method of resurrecting the soul by borrowing corpses, and he had only seen it in the book about Qi Refiners, and he didn't believe it at first, but now there were living examples in front of him, and he couldn't help but believe it.
As for the two cultivation tips in Gu Shengping's mouth, I am afraid that they were left by the pre-Qin Qi refiners, and they were not alchemists like Fang Shi at all!
Yes, I'm afraid that the Qi Refiner really exists! Chen Du instantly thought of the two "animal skins" in his cloth bag, namely "Bagua Acupuncture" and "Bagua Diagram", these two things belong to chicken ribs even in the hands of many powerful people in the world, but since Chen Dui learned it, he is sure that the peak of Bagua Acupuncture may be related to mythology, after all, the current acquired Bagua position is just the vertical and horizontal four elephant needles have such an amazing effect, so what is the miracle effect of the innate Bagua position?
Chen Dui's heart instantly became hot, what he was currently pursuing was not only revenge, but also the pinnacle of his power, and the method of Qi Refiner was undoubtedly an unknown and powerful world behind another gate.
Edgeworth kills enemies, Edgeworth flies, steps on auspicious clouds, and feathers soars...... There are many records of Qi Refiners that describe this, not to mention how much more powerful the Qi Refiners are, just the flying of the sword is something that countless people dream of.
Instead of being trapped in a cage like a comfortable pet beast, it is better to fly freely in the universe like a bird, even if there are many dangers, at least know how big the world is!
"Where's that tomb?"
"It's near Hongyu Mountain, but after we took things out, the ancient tomb collapsed in an instant, and now it's a subsidence area, and if you're not careful, you'll fall underground, and you can't even think about it."
Chen Duan was not disappointed, he believed that the ancient tomb of the Qi Refiner was definitely not so simple.
"Have you ever found the coffin of the tomb owner?"
"No, there's very little space in the core, there's only a small platform there, and that's all that's left on the platform."
The corners of Chen Dui's mouth tugged slightly, and it was a little difficult to hide the joy in his heart.
Even Qin Shi Huang had countless fake tombs, let alone a Qi Refiner? Chen Du didn't believe that the Qi Refiner would leave only those four things for no reason, and how could the Qi Refiner's graveyard be so easy for ordinary people to find.
Maybe that's just the entrance to the tomb?
"Now where is the bamboo slip?" Chen Du asked, he really wanted to go to the ancient tomb now, but he also knew that he was only an acquired martial artist now, even if he had the ability, but he was facing a qi refiner, and he was not sure that he could find the real core place in the ancient tomb.
"After the bamboo slips were cracked by us, they were destroyed together." Gu Shengping said, after all, this thing is very important, and they naturally can't be easily exposed, and at that time, even cracking the text was a paragraph that was taken apart and several text experts were found to crack it.
"Destroyed?"
"Yes, master, but we have all written it down, and if the master wants it, I can transcribe it and give it to the master." Gu Shengping's face was fanatical.
Not to mention, although there are many disadvantages in this method of enslaving people, and the controlled person does not even have the thinking and thinking that ordinary people have, but there is one thing that is relatively unique, that is, the controlled person will always and selflessly consider his master, think about his master, and take the interests of his master as the first purpose.
Gu Sheng's current appearance is like this.
"You don't need to transcribe it, just read it to me." Chen Duan's memory is not covered.
Gu Shengping nodded, and began to read out the content of the "Soul Nourishment Chapter".
“…… There is a beast in the sea of clouds, called 'soul', formless and formless, only the ...... of the heavenly spirit"
“…… Someone subdued this beast, raised it in the heavenly spirit, observed it every day, and then came out with a ...... of 'nourishing the soul'"
“…… Spirit-oriented, soul gives birth to wisdom, and the soul is sublimated when the mind is accessible; The spirit belongs to yang, the soul belongs to yin, and the blend of yin and yang gives birth to the soul ......"
The content of the soul nourishing chapter is not much, it is a long classical Chinese text, and most of it is an introduction, only a small part of the latter tells about the method of soul nourishment.
