Chapter 109: The Giant Demon Appears
The Onmyoji practice, from the virtual realm to the micro realm, is to refine the essence of the five elements into mana. In this way, it nourishes the five Tibets, strengthens the muscles and bones, and reshapes the body. Cultivators can survive without eating whole grains. In other words, it is the realm of "the gods of the gas eaters live long".
These seven characters can be seen in "Huainanzi" for the earliest, which is a sentence in the classic works of Taoism in the Western Han Dynasty. "Food qi" is the first realm of Taoist onmyoji "Bigu" practice. The so-called "don't eat grains, suck up wind and drink dew" refers to the cultivation method of refining the essence of the five elements.
The wind and dew recorded in "Zhuangzi • Wandering Away" ostensibly refer to the "heavenly wind" and "rain and dew", but in fact they are talking about the five elements of the earth's leylines. It was the primordial qi of heaven and earth, pure and undefiled. If you don't eat grains, you can get rid of the "three corpse worms" in your body. Then there is the magic power of "riding the clouds, flying dragons, and swimming beyond the four seas".
What does it mean to "ride the clouds"? This is the ability of the physical body to fly in the sky, and it can only be done after reaching the realm of entering the gods. And this is the second realm of "Bigu" practice.
After the Onmyoji broke through to the realm of entering the gods, his divine soul was powerful, and he began to refine the essence of the sun and the moon, and he reached the realm of "those who do not eat do not die and become gods". The "not eating" here no longer refers to the five grains, but not even the essence of the five elements.
Although the essence of the five elements born from the leylines is pure, it can theoretically remove the "three corpses". But in fact, the essence of the five elements is only the power of the mortal world after all, and it is impossible to completely get rid of the "three corpse insects". The so-called earth has the leyline, the sky has the vein, and the sun, moon and stars are the veins of the sky.
Taoist theory believes that if a person wants to become an immortal, not eating whole grains is the first step. Not eating the essence of the five elements is the second step. The third step is to eat nothing. Only borrowed the power of the heavenly veins to cultivate the divine soul, and finally broke away from the shackles of the physical body and feathered into a flying immortal.
Of course, these are just Qi refiners before ancient times, and they are recorded in some Taoist classics, and the ambiguous statement is not a complete set of cultivation systems. Theory and practice are two different things. Therefore, from ancient times to the present, the Taoist school has left countless classic works, which everyone can read and figure out, but no one uses them to cultivate into immortals.
Later, Qin unified the six countries, and Kyushu entered the era of great unification. Later, after the development of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, in the Wei and Jin dynasties, whether it was Taoism, Buddhism, or the cultivators of the Demon Sect, they all had a new name, Onmyoji.
Through hundreds of years of evolution, each sect and sect has perfected the cultivation system of the Onmyoji and created a variety of exercises. From the realm of contemplation of the void to the realm of Hetian, and then to the realm of the supreme human realm, each of which has nine folds, and the process of each step of cultivation is very fine. Entering the realm of gods can be regarded as a watershed for the onmyoji. After the breakthrough, the divine soul sucked the essence of the sun and the moon, flew with the body, and traveled through the eight wildernesses. Begin to break free from the shackles of heaven and earth in a real sense, and gain insight into the essence of the world.
The reason why Yuan Tiangang mentioned Sanjiu Xuangong was precisely because Li Chun began to introduce the essence of the sun and the moon in the Guiwei Realm. This is a means that only exists in the realm of entering the gods, and it is naturally an incredible thing to appear on an onmyoji of the Guiwei realm. Even if he Yuan Tiangang has the Ghost Star Pupil, he can't do this. Therefore, Li Chunfeng can be a strong opponent of Ouyang Tianming, the sect leader of the Nine Poisons Sect, but he will not fall behind, such a person, everyone will have three points of fear.
The night is as cool as water, and the wind sweeps through the Suzaku Gate, rolling up a piece of yellow sand. Although it was still summer, the surrounding feeling of slaughter was strong, as if it was late autumn. Li Chunfeng watched the layers of wind and sand drift in all directions, and his originally bright eyes suddenly lost three points.
"I heard the apprentice say that you passed by Yuezhou back then and saved his life. It's just that when he took in the apprentices, he chose his cousin, but left him alone in the town. In fact, the two of them are from the same place, and they are both people of destiny. With your Taoism and the power of the Pleiades Star Pupil, you shouldn't be able to make such a mistake. ”
"Destiny? Hahahaha...... Your Majesty is thinking too simply. What would you think if I said that someone forcibly reversed time and space in this era? Everything is not destiny, but man-made. It's just that who that person is, with the current cultivation of you and me, I can't see through it. ”
"If that's the case, it's even more interesting. But the ugly words are said first, Yuan Tiangang, if you dare to touch half a hair of him, I will fight with you endlessly. As for the past, let it pass. But from now on, you let your disciples rest in peace, so that they don't die in this Chang'an City. ”
"Hehe, since the words have come to this, Yuan doesn't have to explain anything. You and I just have to wait and see which end of the destiny you say will stand on. ”
When Yuan Tiangang said this, he sneered twice, and then looked up at the night sky, as if waiting for something. Li Chunfeng also stopped talking, and also looked up at the sky, and the eyes of the two were almost looking at the same position.
After about three minutes, at the intersection of the east-west and north-south central axes of Chang'an City, a thunderclap suddenly fell. Immediately afterward, thousands of feet high in the sky, black clouds rolled, getting bigger and bigger, falling lower and lower. Among them, lightning and thunder roared, and blood and light surged, as if it was pregnant with an ancient fierce beast, which was indescribably terrifying.
In an instant, Chang'an City, which had begun to regain calm, was shrouded in a bad omen. In the midst of it, there is rolling thunder in my ears, and sometimes there is a low roar, which is terrifying. At this time, Lu Xin was still standing on the roof outside the Xiaofu Temple. Seeing the black clouds in the sky rolling bigger and bigger, lower and lower, just like the mountains pressing on the top, a scene of apocalypse. Such a picture is far more terrifying than when "Ba Snake" appeared.
"Xiao Xin, it seems that the catastrophe of Chang'an City is far from over. This is a scene that only exists when the giant demon was born, and you can see that the five elements of the essence around it have all been sucked into the black cloud. I could feel the aura within, not yet awakened, but powerful enough to terrify my heart. ”
Looking at the night sky with rolling black clouds, Yue Buhei showed an extremely frightened expression. It was an instinctive fear that came from the depths of the blood. Demons, to put it bluntly, are animal essences. And the instinctive reaction of animals is far more intense than that of humans who know how to hide.
Lu Xin looked at it for a moment, his brows furrowed violently, and he suddenly ran to the southwest.
"Yang Qin, hurry up and get your sister back. A few of us, we have to find a place to escape. ”
"Xiao Xin, I'll go back to the pagoda to find a scholar, you go back quickly."
The three of them almost did not discuss, and they acted separately with a tacit understanding. Lu Xin asked Yang Qin to take him to find Yang Xiu, and the seriously injured Yue Bu was not dark, so he returned to the pagoda of Xiaofu Temple to meet the scholars. Lu Xin hated to get off the roof and ran through the alley for a while, but Yang Qin suddenly couldn't find the direction.
Looking at the walls on both sides, there are traces of fighting everywhere, and there is even a unique atmosphere of Miao Jiang's spells. This shows that Yangxiu has indeed been here. But these traces do not extend further.
"If I hadn't miscalculated the distance, we would have entered Anrenfang by now. After a short walk through this alley, you will find Suzaku Street. Your sister and her, will she take the big road? ”
"That can't be. Cao Xiong has always run into the alley, and since he can escape here, he must continue to drill into the path. It's just that...... There were so many alleys ahead that I couldn't tell which way it was. ”
While Yang Qin spoke, he looked nervously at the sky, which showed that he was very anxious. Lu Xin looked at the streets in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and decided to go to the left-hand side. But as soon as the two of them took a step, there was an additional figure on the roof not far in front of them.
"Where are you going in such a hurry? The cause and effect between us should not be over yet, right? ”
The voice was low and hoarse, and the violent wind was particularly terrifying. Lu Xin's face immediately darkened, and this sudden figure was the "black cloak" that he had fought in Xiaofu Temple not long ago. The other party claimed to be a descendant of the royal family of Pakistan, and his cultivation was very high, and he was not much closer to returning to the micro realm.
But what shocked Lu Xin was not the sudden appearance of this person, but the other party's arm, which was actually intact. Seeing this, Yang Qin covered his mouth in shock.
"Your Excellency is not relenting, you are not afraid of forcing us into a hurry, and the fish will die and the net will be broken?"
"Tut-tut...... Two low-level juniors, dare to speak out? What does it mean that the fish is dead and the net is broken, I Ji Yu will not fall twice in the same place. But now, I'm interested in you. Little guy, who are you, a child of a family, or a descendant of a certain sect? If you tell me honestly, maybe I can spare your life. ”
"Oh? Your name is Ji Yu? It's a good name, but ...... It doesn't matter who I am. The important thing is that if you do it again and again, you may actually fall in the same place twice. ”
"Hahahaha, joke!"
The man in black, who called himself "Ji Yu", obviously didn't have such a good temper, his voice was cold, he turned into a long snake, and suddenly sped down from the roof. His speed was extremely fast, and in Lu Xin's eyes, it was like a black light, and he couldn't see it at all.
Without hesitation, the moment Ji Yu made a move, Lu Xin took out the incarnation rune. Throwing it forward, the entire talisman burned to ashes in an instant. In the firelight, a figure in green clothes raised his head suddenly, pointed out, and was about to hit Ji Yu's forehead. The latter instantly stopped his forward momentum, bleeding from his seven orifices, and screamed in pain. And he had just transformed into a body of snake scales, and all of them had faded in an instant.
At the same time, the black clouds in the night sky pressed down to less than a hundred feet above Chang'an City. With an extremely terrifying thunderclap, the sky seemed to collapse entirely. Lu Xin couldn't help but look up, in the depths of the rolling black clouds, it seemed that someone had raised his head and stepped into Chang'an City.
Bang!
The whole city shook, and in Lu Xin's eyes, a huge foot landed on Suzaku Street like a peak.
