"People have five treasures, and the spirit and soul are refined. There are five elements in the sky, water, fire, gold, wood and earth. Time-sharing and cultivation to become all things. If you get one of them, the gods will open. You have all the veins, and all the spirits and souls can be turned into thoughts and circulate around the heavens. Now that you empty yourself and let your mind go into the depths of your mind, you can see the world of dantian. ”

On the grass outside the house, Li Chunfeng took Lu Xin to sit cross-legged and personally led his practice. Following the steps Li Chunfeng said, Lu Xin soon saw an oval-shaped mana vortex and a wisp of flame suspended on it.

In the practice of Onmyoji, you can not only see the microcosm with your mind, but also perceive Zhou Tian with your mind. This is the biggest difference from ordinary people. The key to the cultivation of the virtual realm is to let people learn to perceive the nuances and see clearly all the microscopic things in the world. Such as acupoint meridians, ghosts and spirits, five elements of essence, sun and moon essence...... And so on and so forth.

At this time, Li Chunfeng wanted to teach Lu Xin how to condense the true fire of Taoism, perceive the essence of the five elements with his mind, and refine it into mana.

"The immortal grass has its own powerful Five Elements Essence, so it can directly form a mana vortex within your dantian. But there is still a half-step gap between the flame suspended above it and the true fire of Taoism. ”

"What's missing?"

"Heaven and earth are beginning to open, dragon veins are multiplying, the five elements are nurturing all things, and there are ten origin fires. Among them, the crape myrtle heavenly fire is transformed by the power of the stars, and it is the only flame that the physical body can withstand. The so-called Taoist true fire is actually the original form of crape myrtle heavenly fire. Looking at the virtual realm, the true fire is transformed into form by the essence of the five elements, but it needs to be integrated with the divine soul to be able to sway freely. ”

"I see, no wonder I can't feel the existence of mana, and I can't make the flames in the dantian move."

Lu Xin nodded, and his mind began to wander between the meridians, and then through the five Tibets one by one. According to Li Chunfeng, the five organs of the body, the heart hides the spirit, and the liver hides the soul, and the two are fused, and the mind is urged to escape into the dantian, which can be unified with the flame and produce the power of Taoist true fire. Then, with the help of true fire, the essence of the five elements is refined, filling the mana vortex, so that people have all kinds of otherworldly powers.

In short, Onmyoji cultivation is a very complex process, and both physical and spiritual power will produce huge changes.

The mountain wind blew, the sun was just right, and Lu Xin on the grass completely entered a state of selflessness. His mind sank into the flesh and wandered in the microcosm. This is a feeling that cannot be described in words, the human body, there are countless meridians, there are Zhou Tian acupoints, just like the vast world. In the process of condensing the true fire of Taoism, Lu Xin felt for the first time that he and heaven and earth were one.

Two hours later, the boy suddenly opened his eyes, raised his backhand, and a red flame instantly appeared in his palm. It comes out of thin air, burns out of thin air, and the wind does not blow away.

"This is the true fire of Taoism?"

Lu Xin was overjoyed, at this time, he was already able to control the flames in the dantian at will. And with a gesture, it can release an invisible force.

"It seems that your mind is far stronger than ordinary people, ordinary onmyoji, who has just condensed the true fire of the Taoist, can't let the true fire transform outside the body like you."

Li Chunfeng nodded, seemingly satisfied with Lu Xin's performance. Then, I saw him take out a bottle from his arms, uncork it, and immediately wafted out a strong medicinal fragrance.

"Although Ziwei Tianhuo can refine the soul and protect the body, the Taoist true fire will still cause damage to the body. The Onmyoji of the Void Realm needs to take pills to protect the physical body from being burned to ashes by the power of true fire. ”

"No wonder there are so many legends of alchemy since ancient times, it turns out that the pill is taken to suppress the true fire in the body."

Lu Xin took the bottle and ate a pill without hesitation. As Li Chunfeng said, since the condensation of the true fire of the Taoist, there has been an inexplicable burning sensation in the body. From the dantian to the whole body, especially the meridians and five internal organs, it is like being roasted by a furnace, which is extremely uncomfortable. Moreover, within a few minutes of Lu Xin's condensation of true fire, there was such a big reaction in his physical body, not to mention years of cultivation?

"There are so many Taoist priests and emperors who died of alchemy recorded in the history books, and maybe not all of them died of poisoning. Some people are afraid that they will be burned alive by the true fire of Taoism. Moreover, alchemy is not necessarily for the sake of immortality. It's possible, it's just pure cultivation! ”

Before Lu Xin crossed over, although he didn't like to read, he was very interested in some novels and wild histories. China since antiquity. The phenomenon of alchemy appeared. Countless Taoist priests, princes and nobles, and even emperors were obsessed with Dan Dao. The most famous is Qin Shi Huang, in order to seek immortality, he raised the power of the whole country to make alchemy, and finally died of poisoning.

But if you calm down and think about it, is it possible for an emperor to die of poisoning? Any elixir can be refined, and someone can try it. Even without the achievements of modern medicine, toxicity can be tested on living people. Moreover, the onmyoji, the thoughts are insightful, and it is not difficult to tell whether an elixir is poisonous or not.

If you reason from this logic, it seems difficult to hold the claim that the emperors died of pill poisoning. Of course, whether it is just like Lu Xin's guess, the emperor's alchemy is also for cultivation, in fact, it is difficult to find the corresponding evidence.

"You already have wood attribute mana, and now, for the teacher to teach you to cultivate the Fa and bury the scriptures. This set of exercises allows you to cultivate fire attribute mana. Once you succeed, the five elements will grow together, borrowing wood to make fire, and your strength will be more than three times that of the onmyoji of the same realm. ”

……

Time flies, as the saying goes, there is no sun and moon in the mountains. Lu Xin and Li Chunfeng practiced in the mountains of Huanggang Village for more than half a month. At noon on this day, the master and apprentice woke up from their meditation, looked at each other and smiled, and finally decided to go down the mountain.

At this time, there was a glimmer of light in the young man's eyes, as bright as the stars in the night.

"Your Dao Fa has just been completed, although it is only a recultivation of the virtual realm. But with your mana, four or five onmyoji of the same realm are not your opponents. ”

"Thanks to the master's guidance, the apprentice only now understands how wonderful this world is."

Lu Xin stood up, only to feel that his whole body was surrounded by an invisible force. A random punch can knock a person ten meters away. In his dantian, two mana vortices, one green and one red, appeared. Attracted to each other, there are signs of integration. And the Taoist True Fire suspended on it is far stronger than half a month ago.

"As soon as you enter the door, you are different from mortals. Although the road ahead is long, there is a glimmer of hope for immortality after all. Apprentice, don't blame the master for trembling. Only those who care about the common people can achieve themselves. No matter how high your cultivation is in the future, don't think too highly of yourself and forget your duty as a human being. ”

"The master's teachings, the apprentices remember."

In the third year of Zhenguan, on the first day of June, Li Chunfeng took Lu Xin out of Huanggang Village. The two walked all the way to the outside of Raozhou City before stopping. Lu Xin originally wanted to go to Wuzhou to find the whereabouts of the scholar and Yue Buhei and others. However, after Li Chunfeng calculated a hexagram with a number of calculations, he foresaw that something big would happen in Chang'an, and decided to go north directly. Moreover, the day of the scientific expedition is in June, and if the scholars and others are fine, they will definitely rush to Chang'an. At this time, if you make a detour to Wuzhou, not only will you not be able to get up in time, but you are also likely to miss each other. As a disciple, Lu Xin naturally listens to his master, not to mention Li Chunfeng's words, which are not unreasonable.

There is a canal outside Raozhou that leads directly to Poyang Lake, and Li Chunfeng did not go north directly after crossing Poyang Lake and entering the boundary of Jiangzhou. Instead, he bought two fast horses and took Lu Xin to Yuezhou in the west. Although it will be delayed for two days, it will not affect the plan compared to the detour to Wuzhou.

Two days later, the master and apprentice stopped on the shore of Dongting Lake. At this time, the night is thick, the smoke is ethereal, and the stars of the heavens are reflected on the surface of the lake, like a dream.

"Master, is this what you call Yun Mengze?"

Lu Xin looked at the endless lake in front of him with a strange expression. They came to Yuezhou, the name of Dongting Lake, even in modern times, it is known to the world. A record of Yueyang Tower, with the long smoke empty, the bright moon thousands of miles, wrote the majestic momentum. The lake in front of you is so famous. But the more famous it is, the more ordinary it feels. On the contrary, some inaccessible deep mountains and old forests can make people feel more mysterious.

However, since Li Chunfeng did not hesitate to spend two days detouring to Yuezhou, it was enough to show that there were secrets in the lake in front of him.

"This eight-hundred-mile Dongting, known as Yunmeng in ancient times, is the ancient Shennong's dojo. There are many secrets hidden in it. It's a pity that time has washed away all traces of the vicissitudes of life. ”

Under the moonlight, Li Chunfeng stepped into the water step by step, and the tone of his speech was as ethereal and ethereal as the smoke wave. Lu Xin couldn't tread water at this time, so he had to shout on the shore.

"What is the matter with the master?"

"If you go to Chang'an, there will be a catastrophe. With my cultivation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to dissolve. There is a thousand-year-old ghost market in Yunmengzedi, and I want to find something to have a chance of winning. ”

"Ghost City?"

Lu Xin was surprised that the word "ghost market" usually only appears in some horror novels and tomb robbery novels. In layman's terms, it means that ghosts and gods gather in one place to set up stalls and sell things that are not available in the yang world. And now, Li Chunfeng actually said that there is a "thousand-year-old ghost market" under Dongting Lake, and Lu Xin is naturally very shocked.

I looked up at the moonlight, and it was already past the hour. Li Chunfeng stopped talking, swung out a mana to wrap Lu Xin, and walked all the way to the depths of the lake. The wind and waves on the lake are very large, just as written in "The Story of Yueyang Tower", there are sometimes yin winds and angry howls, and the turbidity waves are emptied, which is very dangerous.

The area of Dongting Lake is indeed very large, and people enter it, as if facing the sea, as far as the eye can see. There were many islands in the lake, and Lu Xin followed Li Chunfeng's side, and it took more than two hours to stop on an island shaped like a crescent moon. It was obviously not the first time Li Chunfeng had been here, and he soon found a hole in the woods on the island.

Lu Xin entered the cave and found that there was a vertical tunnel under his feet. After walking about fifty or sixty meters underground, Li Chunfeng pushed open a stone door. In front of me, an incredible picture suddenly appeared.
