Looking at the mountain and running a dead horse, the huge peach tree is right in front of you.

Xie Baoshu and Xu Qingsi flew for a long time, but they still didn't arrive. In the end, Xu Qingsi used the magic power of "close to the end of the world" to bring him to the ancestors. Xu Qingsi left directly, this matter should not be mixed with him.

The ancestor of Ziqi Prefecture, Xu Qingsi, has actually not seen it a few times. As for inheritance, there is none. Xu Qingsi's practice is the Xu family's qi cultivation technique, and she has a lot of longevity.

Xie Baoshu walked in front of the big tree, the volume of this peach tree was too big. On the front of the peach tree, there is a human face. Xie Baoshu's body size is not comparable to one of other people's eyebrows.

After a long time, the old ancestor of the peach tree seemed to wake up, looked at Xie Baoshu, and said softly, "It's here." ”

Xie Baoshu nodded.

The old peach tree said: "When people are old, they love to sleep, so wait for a long time." I don't remember how long I've been sleeping, but every time I wake up, the person in front of me changes. It's that little guy Xu Qingsi recently, he's still alive, right?"

In this case, Xie Baoshu always felt a little strange when he heard the word "built in".

The old peach tree smiled slightly, and did not mention the matter of cultivation to Xie Baoshu, but asked some parents about their shortcomings. Finally, he looked at Xie Baoshu and asked, "Do you want to use that immortal seed on your body, or do you not want to use it?"

Xie Baoshu asked, "What's the difference between using it and not?"

The old peach tree said: "If you don't use it, it can strengthen your physique, make you more energetic when fighting with others, and increase your strength." If you use it, you will live like Xu Qingsi, for a long time, and your vitality is vigorous. ”

Xie Baoshu knew that this was the purpose of his coming here, just to seek a self-preservation power. He didn't hesitate and said, "I'm willing to use it." ”

The old peach tree smiled and said: "Don't worry, let me ask you first, I heard that you are from the Peach Source Fairyland, how do you practice the peach tree in your place? ”

Xie Baoshu hesitated for a moment and told all the things about the Taoyuan Wonderland.

The peach tree in Taoyuan Wonderland, followed the Tao Immortal and returned to Taoyuan Wonderland. Subsequently, Tao Xianren did not know whether he had ascended or died, and disappeared without a trace. As a result, the entire Peach Paradise was occupied by that peach tree.

With the help of the hands of the ancestors of the Xie family, it realizes the art of immortality.

Originally, everything was going well, but even Liu Guanshan appeared, but he didn't do anything about it. But who knows, Qu Shengge has been inherited by Tao Immortals.

That peach tree, the sky is not afraid of the earth, and it is afraid of the sword qi of the Tao Immortals.

So, under the manipulation of Qu Shengge, this piece of peach tree, which ranks third in the world, has been cut off. Before dying, it also left behind a fairy seed, which was the only useful thing it did.

Old Peach Tree, after listening carefully to Xie Baoshu's words, sighed: "Self-inflicted, you can't live." ”

Xie Baoshu didn't react, the matter had already passed, and when he said it again, the wind was light.

The old peach tree glanced at Xie Baoshu and said, "There is nothing wrong with seeking immortality, but you want to."

Look at the method. If you don't pay attention to the method, what's the difference between you and the demon? You have to keep that in mind in the future. ”

Xie Baoshu nodded, it is also a peach tree, why is the difference so big?

The old peach tree said again: "I know that you want to ask about the cultivation, so I will tell you." It can be seen that the body refining exercises you have practiced are very powerful. There is also the method of practicing qi, if in this case, it is beneficial and disadvantageous to stimulate the immortal seed. ”

Xie Baoshu already has a hunch, how can there be a free lunch in the world?

The old peach tree looked at Xie Baoshu's firm eyes, and sighed, knowing that he would not give up. He began to explain to Xie Baoshu the disadvantages of stimulating immortal seeds, and by the way, he would talk about some things in the future. One speaks, the other listens, and they are all very serious.

-----

On the peach mountain, Xu Qingsi was playing with the peach blossoms on the tree in every possible way. This Momoyama, it's not the first time he's here, but when he came before, he was the protagonist. It was the only time he was waiting outside.

It is the language of Taoism.

The strange thing is that these two "Cave Heaven Blessed Land" are not listed in the 36 Cave Heavens and 72 Blessed Lands by the Daomen. Xu Qingsi knew that this was the reason of the ancestors. As long as the ancestor is here, the entire Purple Qi State will not collapse!

What kind of Daomen, even if the Daojun comes, he is not afraid.

The old ancestor, that can be true, is a figure in the fairy realm.

While he was thinking about it, a loud bang came from outside Momoyama. Xu Qingsi was a little worried, but thinking of the old ancestor's advice, she still stood in place and didn't say anything. A moment later, in the middle of the peach mountain, a figure walked out.

It was Xie Baoshu.

Xu Qingsi looked at Xie Baoshu, always feeling that he had changed a little, but he couldn't say it. He smiled and said: "Yes, it's all broken, one step further, it's the earth immortal, it's really a genius." I was with Liu Guanshan at your time, that is, the realm of earth immortals. ”

Xie Baoshu ignored his boasting and said, "The ancestor let you in, hurry up." ”

Xu Qingsi muttered, didn't dare to disobey, and walked in.

When she came to Taoshan again, Xu Qingsi found that the figure of the ancestor was still so upright. But Xu Qingsi smelled a hint of death. He was suddenly startled and hurried to the front of the old ancestor.

The old ancestor still had a pleasant face, looked at Xu Qingsi, and asked, "Here, that little guy just now is good." ”

Xu Qingsi was a little puzzled and asked, "Old Ancestor, what are you?" ”

The old peach tree smiled: "People always have to be old, and I am not an exception to my ancestors, I have lived for so long, I have lived enough." Look at the peach branches around me, they are dying, and my time is approaching. ”

Xu Qingsi is not a sentimental person, but now, he is a little hesitant.

The old peach tree said: "Don't be sad, this is a good thing, although I am going to die, but here, there will be a new peach tree, take root and sprout." In the future it will replace me as a new peach tree. You humans can think of it as, my son?"

This statement amuses itself all.

Xu Qingsi also

Smiling, he said, "Ancestor, rest assured, with me, I will definitely take care of the new peach tree." ”

The old peach tree nodded and said, "One more thing, the Xie Baoshu who came in just now is also a poor person. If there is anything next, you Xu family, try your best to help him. Of course, when encountering a major event that may wipe out the race, it doesn't hurt to let it go. ”

Xu Qingsi nodded, signaling that she knew.

The old peach tree smiled: "You go, let me sleep again." ”

Xu Qingsi turned to leave, and when he was about to leave this cave, he suddenly asked, "Old Ancestor, he is dead now, but is it because of the young man just now?"

The old peach tree said, "What do you think, don't do his business." ”

Xu Qingsi stopped talking and flew away from the land.

The old peach tree, sleep leisurely, no matter what kind of creature it is, when it is old, it loves to sleep.

-----

In addition to the old peach tree, there was also a person sleeping at this time. Tianshui Prefecture, Jingning of the Great River Sword Sect. Now, her realm has surpassed her master, Liu Fangzhou. In the entire Dajiang Sword Sect, she is the number one master.

Liu Fangzhou looked at this disciple and was very satisfied.

After Jing Ning finished practicing for a day, he returned to his Three Hour Hall and began to sleep. As soon as she closed her eyes, she remembered everything she had done in Fufeng Country. This kind of thing has been going on for many years. Jing Ning recently found two books on the Dao Sect and prepared to cultivate the mind.

Otherwise, when you close your eyes, it will be all bloody.

"The Essence of Life" cloud: "It is easy to cultivate the way, but it is difficult to practice demons", "It is difficult to practice the unique sleeping demon".

What is a Sandman? This is a description of a person who is extremely tired and sleepy, like a devil urging him. That's why this desire to sleep is called a nebuta. The battle sleeping demon, also known as the battle sleep, refining sleep, eliminating yin demon, etc., is to restrain not sleeping and eliminate the negative impact of sleep on cultivation. Why fight the Sandman?

Because tradition holds that there are three major obstacles to human cultivation, also known as the "three demons", that is, "eating, sleeping, and sexing", which are the most difficult primitive desires for a person to overcome. If the "Three Demons" can be completely subdued, the success will be taken off, and the epiphany and sublimation will be imminent, and it will enter a new level.

The emergence of this way of practice is not accidental, and there is a poem "Danyang Jiyun" in the "Chongyang Enlightenment Collection": "No matter how many times Zhaozhou is, let alone Lu Tong is called." Pray to Taiyuan Gong to avoid the sleeping demon. Mingcan, Mingcan, you can see the shore of the road of eternal life. ”

The poem mentions that cultivating immortality requires eliminating the Sandman.

In the minds of the ancestors, dreaming was considered a dangerous and terrible thing. The relationship between immortal truth and dreams appears in "Zhuangzi Great Master", "The true people of the ancients do not dream when they sleep, and they do not worry about their dreams." It means that the real people who have been successful in ancient practice do not dream when they sleep.

"Zhong Lu Ecclesiastical Collection" summarizes the ten demons on the path of cultivation, among which dreaming ranks second, "The so-called ten demons, where there are three classes: one is to see outside the body, two is to dream, and three is to vipassana." "Dreaming not only causes people to fall into the confusion of nothingness, but also affects the body, and there is a saying of ghost dreams in traditional Chinese medicine.

Not only does dreaming cause trouble to the practitioner, but the relaxed state of sleep is itself a temptation, the Tao

Patriarch believed that the desire for sleep was the root of other desires, and therefore, through the practice of sleep, the desire to control could be achieved. "Qinghe Zhenren Journey to the North Quotations" believes that this is the way for learners to enter the Tao, and its cloud: "The harm of cultivation, the three desires are important (food, sleep, and sex), and if you don't diet, you will sleep more, and sleep will be especially heavy, and the place of lust will come out of itself." Scholars can first control these three desires, and enter the door of the Tao sincerely. ”

The "Lying Meditation Diagram" of "The Essence of Life" also says: "The ancients had a saying that it is easy to cultivate the Tao, but it is difficult to refine demons. However, the color demon and the ogre are easy to subdue, and the unique sleeping demon is difficult to refine, so it is a Zen family that has the method of sitting for a long time without lying down. The true element of the people is often lost at night, and if they are not careful in sleep, the essence will leak from the bottom, and the qi will leak from the top, and the original spirit will abandon the body without support, and the three treasures will be dispersed separately, and the human body will be safe and survive for a long time?" to illustrate the harm of the sleeping demon.

In the traditional concept, Taoism advocates the balance of yin and yang, and the balance of yin and yang is the foundation of life. However, during the Tang and Song dynasties, Taoism took a turn in the concept of yin and yang, and it seems that the concept of pursuing yang and denigrating yin began to appear. Refining sleep is also known as "refining yin demon".

This term was earlier seen in Yuan Haowen's "Master of Purple Void at the Cemetery Tombstone", which said: "My whole true family is forbidden to sleep, which is called refining yin demons, and those who are facing people for decades are threatened." Wang Yun also said: "The whole family is forbidden to sleep, which is called to eliminate yin demons, and it is said to be diligent and dusty, so as to break its strong stalk and arrogant spirit."

Speaking of the harmony of yin and yang, Jing Ning thought of Xie Baoshu at this time.

This is the only person who can let her sleep peacefully.

Jing Ning sat up, looked at the bright moonlight outside the window, and made a decision in his heart.
