Chapter 116: Shadows

Death is the final destination of any living being. But for a particular group of monks, death represents a situation outside the destination: failure, total failure.

The quest for immortality and ultimately welcoming death is undoubtedly a negation of their lifelong quest, but in most monks, death is so difficult to escape.

At the beginning of their practice, the monks fought against their own Shouyuan people, hoping to stay in this world as long as possible. They have three chances.

The first time is at the beginning of spiritual practice, through air pressure to a state of long breathing, each human fetus metamorphoses, can get real breathing, prolongs the life of nearly one child, and dies at the age of 150. This is the foundation of the foundation of the monk, you can call it a monk, you must have passed this level, and love is like that.

Not everyone gets to enjoy a second chance compared to the general first chance. This requires crossing the dual boundaries of enlightenment and guidance until the attainment of Dan is restored, so that the essence and qi are integrated and the vitality of the whole body is controlled by the "return to Dan", without omission or evasion. This time, on the basis of the former, the Shouyuan monk can live to be 300 years old, which is already the limit of human potential. Not necessarily one of the 10,000 monks who can reach this level.

As for the third chance, it is even more difficult to approach. This requires breaking through to the realm of returning to Dan, flying from the sky to the Nine Heavens Outer Domain, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, Zhen Huan, refining form and spirit, and slowly improving longevity. There is no definite number of such promotions, ranging from 10 to 8 years and from 100 to 1000 years. However, its ultimate goal is to break down barriers and become a real person, thus realizing a long-term theoretical vision. The entire spiritual world, hundreds of millions of monks, can finally achieve this, and there are only a few in the past.

Long breath, back to Dan, one step empty three realms, three opportunities, just like a steep road to longevity three steps, three platforms. It's only when you climb up that you have breathing room. At present, Luo Qing is just starting, but he is still young and still has time to climb. For Yu Zhoulao, an old man who has lived for 300 years, although he is only one line away from reaching the third ladder, he has already reached the edge of oil exhaustion, and he has no strength to reach out.

Judging from his actual age, Xie Yan is older than Yu Zhou. However, just looking at his appearance, Xie Yan was in the prime of life, and Yu Zhou was already gray-haired. The strong contrast makes people feel the cruelty on the way to practice.

Thinking of the "old age" mentioned by Lao Lu many times, "the road ahead has been gone" and so on, presumably Lao Lu's heart is like a mirror - sitting and waiting for death, what kind of state is that, Luo Qing didn't understand, and he already felt sad in his heart.

In contrast, Xie Yan did his best: "At most, in two or three years, he will run out of life." In his present state, he has entered the realm of emptiness today, ascended to the outer world for nine days, understood the nature of "metaphysical truth", and only delayed his life by 20 years, which is meaningless. It is said that this time a gold bone jade plate purchased by Western Buddhist countries was made from the skull of a Taoist priest. It contains the blood of the golden body and soul and is implanted in the body. It cleanses the bone marrow again, rejuvenates it, and prolongs life for at least 50 years. I'm determined to win this!"

Xie Yan held the black scabbard in his hand and pulled it out with the hilt of the sword. The strange student was indifferent and threatening: "My practice is too sharp. Dragons are really hard to digest. It is not appropriate to practice methods of controlling the spirit. That's why I need your help... Don't trouble me!"

His tone was still terrible, but Luo Qing sounded like a different feeling. As Lao Dao said, his friendship with Xie Yan, Xie Liang and other countries is indeed a lifelong friendship. Maybe this guy's temper is really bad and unpleasant, but his friendship is beyond doubt.

He still didn't like Xie Yan's gestures, but he didn't say much. He silently took the jade of the mind control method, and the gods infiltrated and began to learn.

As Xie Yan said, the method of controlling the spirit is easy to learn, while the ichthyosaur is simple-minded and greedy. In fact, it's easy to control without stimulation. Luo Qing followed the teachings of Buddhism and used his energy as bait to nourish the fish dragon, and soon lured him to stay.

This method of mind control has actually been wasting its own energy. Especially the ichthyosaurus has a slender body, but he is a "big-bellied man", even if Luo Qing can use his skills to mix the external aura to feed, but the speed of energy loss is still very fast, at this time, as he condenses into Shen Yin, the potential of the outside world is greatly released, which is also a bit excessive.

In the first few days of the EPRO banquet, I didn't think it was the best thing to do. I'm afraid I'll have to stick to it.

Luo Qing didn't mention this, but asked, "With that 'Golden Bone Jade Plate', can the audience pass through this?"

Xie Yan didn't respond positively, just stared at the fish dragon dancing in Luo Qing. After a long time, he began to speak: "Did he tell you the way of the ichthyosaur?"

Luo Qing was shocked to understand that "he" meant Yuzhou Laodao, and "Yulong Dao" was a way to use the path of immortality, so he nodded. Then he heard Xie Yan's sneer: "Absorb people's wisdom." ”

With his sneer, the black scabbard he held in his hand also buzzed in the box, thinking it was echoing. At the sound of the sneeze sword, the ichthyosaurus swam more happily in the night sky, and with its active posture, the little one's attraction to the aura also increased, as if he had been locked up for a long time and felt hungry, so he let go of his stomach to eat. On the swimming track, there are noticeable circles of small ripples.

Luo Qing took a deep breath and endured the slight discomfort caused by Yu Long's sucking life force. He also remembers that Lao Dao once admitted that the "way of the fish and dragon" is a successful experience to learn from others. Xie Yan made a sarcastic comment on this: "He happily said the way of the fish and dragon, but did he mention his own "way" to you?

※※

Xie Yan and Luo Qing flew into the sky to talk. The people on the ground were left to dry. Li You got used to it, and went back to sleep with a smile. However, the people in the government during the day did not have such a good life. Xie Yanxian stood up from Dancliffe with difficulty and asked to see the head of government, Kim Huan. This should not be overlooked. Under the command of Lu Yang, the highest-ranking person in this field, Dancliffe was busy for a while.

No matter how lively the scene is, there will always be some people who will be idle, and one of them is just talking about it.

Liu Yang did not arrange specific work for Tuesday. Kuang Yan stood for a while. He felt that it was meaningless, called Liu Yang, and went back directly.

After slowly leaving the crowd and chaos, Kuang Yanqi felt a little emotional: the head of government is usually a great hero, but under Xie Yanxian's call, he must hurry back to pay his respects. This is a different level, not to mention Xie Yan's achievements, just his status as a "direct disciple of the three generations of the dust clan" is enough to make the entire Cliff City admire.

This is a pursuit that Kwong Yankai has not yet realized, so he is envious, but when he thinks about it, he feels very uncomfortable.

He hadn't forgotten that it was time for him to practice at the mountain gate. It was only because of the unrest in the Dimoka Valley that he and Kanegawa established a name of "mediation" and were sent back to the government. If this is the case, then he should return to the mountains, because the unrest is coming to an end. But in fact, I'm afraid that day will be far away.

Kanegawa, that fool!

On that day, Kanegawa, because of his resentment against Locke, eliminated many of the elite members of the day government. He deceived Li You and borrowed his "Thousand Nets Yin Thunder". He wanted to oppose Law. However, he believes that Li You and Meng Wei have seized the current situation. He has prepared a case that will be severely punished by the precepts. According to the regulations, meditating by the wall for a year and a half is rare. However, he only had a year to practice in the mountains.

Therefore, Kanegawa did not want to go, so he carelessly stayed in the government. He didn't care if he wanted to leave Chen Zong or not. In doing so, he actually won Kim Hwan's approval!

If Jin Chuan doesn't go, how can he go back alone like Kuang Yankai?

Similarly, Jin Chuan's goal is to practice in the mountains, while Kuang Yan's goal is much higher. However, in the face of reality, this dream has only just begun and has already been shattered.

Drifting back along the mountain path, the sparse trees show strange shadows on the rocks on the ground, swaying endlessly with the night breeze in the moonlight and distant lights.

After walking more than a dozen steps, Kuang Yankai's vest was cold and suddenly stopped. A few months after leaving Chen Shanzong's mountain gate, his achievements did not improve much, but under the subtle influence of the immortal leader, his spiritual consciousness became more and more acute.

Something seems to be wrong.

Kuang Yanqi is a very attentive person. When he stands still, he observes his surroundings once and for all. At this time, the cold wind blew in the cold night, and the branches and shadows were disorganized, and the sound was faint. He is rarely unbothered by these distractions, and his mind is calm.

It turns out that there will be some danger in Tianfu! Shadow.

Kwong Yankai noticed something strange and touched him. There were rocks and trees everywhere in the shadows of the chaos, and at some point there was a distinct figure mixed in, even twisting and swaying slightly in the wind. That is not his shadow!

As soon as his scalp exploded, he suddenly turned his head, and his eyes turned into a pale, almost transparent person, floating in the night wind.

This is the standard way for the evening. Hell, but it's not surprising if you talk about it. There is only one person in the government who is in this state: "Elder Tu, you go out!"

During the day, the government lost its army in the Temmoku Valley. The government elite was wiped out by Naroc. Even Du Jun was seriously wounded and returned. Now that the guy has put on the tiger skin of the Dust Clan and is in the Cliff City, it is clear that he wants to undermine the prestige of the Daytime Government. When the house was full of panic, the Governor relieved the siege in time, which was a reassurance to the people in the house.

Kuang Yankai was still in awe of the Chief Elder. He hurriedly took two steps forward and bowed to greet him. After that, he laughed again: "The body of the elder can ......"

The sound has become quieter.

He suddenly remembered one thing: Is there a shadow in the state of yin and god?

Then, he saw that the slender shadows of Tudu's feet were distorted and deformed, and instantly turned into a layer of black mist, floating up from the surface!
