Chapter Thirty-Eight: Refining the marrow is like frost, refining blood mercury
Su Ming stepped on the road step by step and headed south. In the past, he felt that his strength was enough to go all over the world. But after witnessing the Genshin character's move, this idea changed.
There is a huge chasm between the Yuan Shen characters and the innate peak, like a moat, cutting off almost everyone's hopes and dreams. The innate grandmaster, but after being reborn, he has gone through the transcendent and walked in the stage of sanctification. And the Yuan Shen character has really completed the first step of becoming a saint. As for the path after Genshin, this world is broken, and there is no room for progress.
In this case, the Yuan Shen characters are like mountains, standing between heaven and earth, suppressing this land. Su Ming suddenly understood that no matter which dynasty or generation, after obtaining the orthodox destiny, they all wanted to eradicate these forces. Because they are so powerful, so powerful that they have a great influence on the imperial power.
But all emperors, almost all of them would rather be burdened by the people of the world than by the people of the world, and in their bones they are all self-respecting in the world, and in the face of these forces beyond the traditional sense of the world, they naturally can't bear it. At the beginning, Emperor Qin ruled the world, and it was precisely because of this mentality that he refined the twelve golden people, plus the He clan, and wanted to destroy the power beyond the world in one fell swoop.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, hundreds of schools of thought arose, and I don't know how many Yuanshen characters there were. At that time, although the sons of the Qin Emperor and the Hundred Sages either crossed the border, or died properly, or were killed by the Qin Emperor, the background was still there. The unprecedented joint attack of the cultivation world, at the cost of the almost extinction of the Taoist system, finally destroyed the twelve golden people, took away the He clan, erased the Qin Emperor's cultivation, and made the Qin Dynasty end in two lifetimes, and the Qin Emperor also fell into the name of a tyrant who burned books and pit Confucianism.
Just like in today's monastic world, the three sects of Buddhism, the four sects of Taoism, the five major families of Confucianism, and the seven schools of evil Taoism all have Yuanshen figures in charge. Once their interests are touched, the nineteen primordial gods will join forces to destroy all the forces of resistance in the world and overthrow the rule of the imperial court.
Therefore, even if Taizong of this dynasty was back then, he could only act cautiously and secretly, but he was helplessly detected, and he died after only 23 years in the world. Many of these things have an ambiguous relationship with these sects. At the time of Empress Wu, although she adhered to the mandate of heaven, she was also ousted from the throne by many forces. Later, at the time of Xuanzong, although the world was prosperous, he was confused by the cultivators and wanted to refine the elixir of immortality, which finally led to the Anshi Rebellion, and the imperial power weakened to the extreme.
Throughout the dynasties since the Qin Dynasty, it can even be said that it is a struggle between the imperial dynasty and the monastic world. When the imperial power was strong, the monastic world was much more low-key. When the imperial court weakened, the monastic world came alive.
Due to the rules of heaven and earth, no matter who sits on the throne, their cultivation will gradually disappear, and in the end, they will even be the same as ordinary people. Even if you have the power of all the people to protect your body, you can't make up for the constraints of your own body. And although the Yuan Shen characters have a long life and strong mana, the Dao and Dharma powers they send will also come to naught when they are rushed by the power of the emperor's heaven and earth and the power of the people.
It is the Son of Heaven who has been killed by mortals and soldiers in all dynasties, but not by any monks. But the cultivation world can rely on its own strength to pull the Son of Heaven into the mortal dust. As long as the emperor is not there, he can only be slaughtered by others. It is precisely the peculiar rules of heaven and earth in this world that have led to the occurrence of this strange and contradictory situation.
Su Ming didn't understand these many things until He's Bi entered his body, and then he knew that He's Bi was called a treasure through the ages, and it was not for nothing. He Shibi itself is the crystallization formed by the condensation of dragon qi in the depths of the dragon veins of the earth, and is the essence of the power of heaven and earth, so it has the ability to manipulate the vitality of heaven and earth to blind the heavens.
At the beginning, Emperor Qin was the first master in the world, and after getting the He's Bi, he engraved the eight characters of Tianjishou Yongchang on it with great magical powers, which condensed the faith of all people. It was only later that Emperor Qin ascended the throne, known as the First Emperor, who was bound by the rules of heaven and earth, and his cultivation continued to degenerate.
Since then, He's Bi is not only the crystallization of the dragon vein, but also the luck of all the people in the world, so it is regarded as the destiny of heaven and the orthodoxy of the dynasty. With the He clan bi in hand, not only can you temper your body with the huge amount of heaven and earth vitality from time to time, but the true qi growth is more than ten times faster than before, and you can also rely on the luck of the people contained in it to deepen your understanding and perception of humanity.
Invisibly, we also have a clearer and deeper understanding of the two opposing and unified paths of heaven and humanity.
Although he won the Heshi Bi, Su Ming never had any idea of fighting the world and becoming an emperor. He has practiced martial arts so far, and there are only two things he wants. The matter of becoming the co-ruler of the world never appeared in his mind. Sooner or later, Chang'an City will have to go, but it is not yet the time for him to enter Chang'an City, and his strength is not enough to face those characters who stand at the top of the world. One day, if you step into Chang'an, it will naturally be the time for change.
Su Ming cultivated hard every day, with the purest power of the He's Bi Dragon Qi Crystallization and the power of the heavens and stars to refine the flesh, soul, and true qi, and his cultivation was a thousand miles a day. Both physically and mentally, there has been great progress. And he restrained his aura all the way, and with He's Bi blinding the sky, no one found out his whereabouts at all.
"Heavenly Dao! Humanitarian! Su Ming walked on the road, like a most ordinary and ordinary person, but his heart was full of feelings, "The way of heaven is the rule, the power, and the truth, the Taiyu Void and the stars are all in it." And humanity is life, red dust, and morality, and it is humanity throughout the ages, rolling red dust, and historical evolution. These two, although they have different names, are opposed to each other and unified, which is extremely mysterious. ”
Su Ming got the Heshi Bi, step by step, and slowly realized the highest mystery in this world, which was a secret that even the Yuan Shen characters didn't know. In ancient times and even in ancient times, only those who broke through the power of the primordial god realm and successfully broke away from this world could understand the Tao and reason.
"The way of heaven is ruthless, so the sun, moon and stars, the movement of heaven and earth, and the universe are not subject to human will. When the heavens, earth, and universe are destroyed, humanity in them will naturally be destroyed. ”
"Humanity is affectionate, so the heavens and the earth are big, and people live in them. With life, there is birth, old age, sickness and death, love and hatred. Between heaven and earth, it will be wonderful and moving. ”
"Being born between heaven and earth, and the universe of heaven and earth are inseparably linked, so that they can understand the power and laws of the Heavenly Dao, with their own heart and heavenly heart, and with their own fusion of the universe, so the realm of the Yuan Shen is actually to refine their soul and mind into reality, and obtain a trace of the power of the rules of heaven and earth, which can be temporarily united with it. But people and heaven and earth are different after all, so after the completion of the Yuan Shen, after all, it is necessary to get rid of the shackles of heaven and earth and condense the rules and laws within their own Yuan Shen. ”
Thinking of this, Su Ming only felt suddenly enlightened, and his heart was bright. Although he is walking the martial arts, he understands the path of this world, and it also has the effect of drawing inferences from others to him.
"By analogy, after entering the innate rebirth, martial arts is also transcendent and holy. It's just that the methods are different, the paths are different, and the embodiment is naturally different. Cultivation talks about turning the mind and soul into the primordial spirit, integrating the primordial spirit into the heaven and the earth, and controlling the rules of the heaven and the earth. And martial arts is to refine the power of heaven and earth into one's own body, with oneself as the heaven and earth, between gestures, like the power of heaven and earth. They look similar, but they are actually two completely different paths. ”
And Su Ming has obtained the inheritance of the ancient immortals, and he can communicate the power of the heavens and stars, which is the power of the Nine Heavens. There is also He's bi in the body, which is the crystallization of the dragon vein, which is extremely pure, and it is the power of the earth. The power of heaven and earth enters one's body, and between the circulation, it refines the body and soul, and can turn into the true qi in the body that is extremely pure.
After only three months, Su Ming felt that his whole body was extremely hard, like that gold and iron, even an ordinary magic weapon flying sword could not hurt himself in the slightest. And the true qi in the body, between the circulation, like the Yangtze River, is surging, and extremely condensed, and it will not split and dissipate when it comes out of the body. When the mind moves, it can turn into an external qi of the body to protect itself.
In addition, the bones are delicate and white, like jade. In the deepest part of the bones, the bone marrow is also crystal clear, pure white and flawless, like snow and frost, without the slightest impurity. And in the blood, the surging blood is also golden and red, although the flow is very light, but in terms of density and energy, it is far from comparable to ordinary cultivators, heavy and abnormal, like lead and mercury.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a flash of lightning in Su Ming's mind, and his heart shook.
Refining the body is like steel, refining gas is like gang, refining the marrow is like frost, refining blood mercury! This is clearly a phenomenon that will only appear when the true qi of the flesh body has almost been tempered to the extreme! And when it comes to this step, he is usually called a "martial saint" in the world!
Martial saint does not refer to a person, nor is it a specific cultivation realm, but refers to one's own martial arts cultivation tempered to the extreme, transcendental, step out, and then enter the saint!
Su Ming carefully tasted it, and felt that his physical true qi was enough to step into the realm of the Martial Saint, but although his soul and mind were also improving rapidly, they were a little worse after all, and they could only be regarded as stepping into it with one foot. When one day the accumulation of spiritual thoughts is enough, and you can understand your own body, you can really step into this realm, and it will be enough to compete with the Yuan Shen characters!
But one step away, but like a moat. I don't know how many people are thriving in humanity and talented and amazing, but how many have the hope of stepping into the realm of the primordial gods? And among the hundred people who have the hope of stepping into the realm of the Yuan Shen, there are only one or two who can truly achieve the Yuan Shen. Even if you have talent, no inheritance, no exercises, and no resources, you will never be able to achieve the original god.
There is a saying in the Taoist sect that those who cultivate the Tao are indispensable to the wealth and the law, and this is what they are talking about. Those who can really be born between the micro and the end and rise to achieve the primordial god are rare throughout the ages. Just like the current cultivation world, those who can achieve the realm of the Yuan Shen are either top sects, or thousand-year-old families, or the orthodoxy of the imperial court. In addition, there are also sects that have produced original Yuan Shen figures, although they are not as good as the top sects, but they always have a bit of background, which is not trivial.
"This world is so big, the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger, unfathomable!" Su Ming walked leisurely on the road, his breath perfectly converged, and there was no leakage at all. At the beginning, in Luoyang City, if there was the current realm, even if it was plotted, the old woman of the puppet gate would never be able to pick up a little bit of her own anger, let alone be controlled by others, and she couldn't help herself.
Along the way, three months have passed, but I have just arrived in the land of Sanxiang.
These three Hunan lands have been inhabited by Miao descendants since ancient times. It has many exercises, which are not the same as those of the Central Plains, and are very peculiar. For example, the method of driving away corpses, such as the method of poisoning, are extremely strange and cannot be prevented. When Su Ming was cultivating in the middle of the night, he once heard the sound of many things passing by outside the house, which was extremely heavy and jumped. Under his extraordinary spiritual sense, he naturally knew that there was a corpse chaser driving the corpse forward, and it had nothing to do with him, so he naturally didn't bother.
He also lived in an inn where the innkeeper worshipped an evil spirit, and often fed on passers-by. That night, the evil ghost came, but was blocked from the house by Su Ming's extremely pure masculine aura, and he couldn't enter at all. In the end, the evil ghosts fought back, and instead devoured the bosses of each station alive. After that, Su Ming went out and smashed this evil ghost with one punch.
I also stayed in an ordinary person's house and saw that there were five poisonous things in their home. Every other month, someone comes to collect the poison and pay the corresponding payment. And the person who received the poison was not someone else, but a disciple of the Five Poisons Sect of the Evil Dao.
As one of the seven major sects of the heretical path, to be precise, its power was only in Sanxiang and Miaojiang, and it did not penetrate deep into the Central Plains. When the dynasties were at their peak, there was nothing they could do about the Five Poisons Sect that was rooted here. The current leader of the Five Poisons Sect is naturally also a primordial figure. It is said that it entered the Tao with poison. A body of poison can even poison a primordial god figure in the same realm, which can be described as extremely terrifying.
However, the Five Poisons Sect has always been very conservative and will not easily go out of the territory, which also reassures the rest of the sects. When Su Ming first came to this world, he met the Southern Wilderness Dao people, and the Five Poisons technique he cultivated was also a remnant of the Five Poisons Sect. Even so, the power is already quite amazing, and it can be seen that the Five Poisons Sect exercises are unpredictable, which is really terrifying.
In addition, in the area of Sanxiang and Miaojiang, there is also a world-famous knife technique, which is the Miao knife passed down by the ancient Sanmiao clan and is still passed down to this day!
The origin of the Sanmiao clan is extremely ancient, and it can be traced back to the fierce Chiyou who competed with Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor for the world. Chiyou originally led the Jiuli tribe, and after Chiyou was defeated, the Jiuli tribe fled and was divided into two branches. One group went south, entered the Jingzhou area, and later spread, which was later the Sanmiao clan.
