It's night, the inner courtyard of Lanruo Temple. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Xia Yang was out of his body, floating in the courtyard, contemplating and contemplating, the light of the stars in the sky was sprinkled like raindrops, and every inch penetrated into the gourd above the heavenly spirit.

The gourd he visualized now is round, symmetrical up and down, and perfect in shape, like a work of art. As the starlight descends, it continues to merge into the gourd, and the gourd bottle shines brightly, condensed, and looks almost real!

Under this gourd that emits a silver streamer, Xia Yang's right index finger bends the tip of the finger against each other, and then presses the front end of the second index finger with the second thumb to make a snap of the finger.

With his gestures, countless flickering strange patterns were formed on the bottle of the gourd, which was the power of runes unique to Taoism. These runes are arranged in rows one by one, forming a pattern full of charm, and slowly squirming, and the upper half of the bottle of the gourd, the light is getting more and more abundant, extremely bright!

This handprint is the Heavenly Bottle Seal in the "Treasure Bottle Seal", which is an attack technique that can only be performed after the Yuan Shen can control things, Xia Yang has been enlightened for a long time, and he has been practicing for many days before he finally condensed.

Cultivating the Abottle Seal requires a cultivator to have a huge amount of divine soul power, at least at the control level of soul power to be able to afford it. The difficulty of this method is that the gourd itself is fake, it is made by visualization, the starlight is fake, it is the idea that exists, the Tao pattern is also fake, everything is an illusion.

Heaven and earth are still heaven and earth!

The trick of cultivating the soul itself is to rely on whole-hearted devotion to visualization, the truth is false, the false is true, and the truth is false. Unless the divine soul has been cultivated to manifestation, that is, the manifestation of the true form, it can be regarded as a real entity.

The gourd vase is the sky and the earth is below, and the heavenly bottle seal uses the upper part of the visualization gourd to consume huge soul power, condense the dao pattern recorded in the treasure bottle seal, and engrave it on the heavenly bottle, and then release it with the handprint and burst out against the enemy.

It is precisely because everything is not real, and everything has to be visualized by thoughts, so it is impossible to maintain all the details in cultivation without sufficient concentration and the huge power of the divine soul. Even Xia Yang has tried countless times to achieve it.

The more he cultivated, the more he could feel the extraordinaryness of this "Soul Fixing Method", it was definitely a great Yuan Shen Method!

According to Xia Yang's understanding of the practice knowledge of Buddhism and Taoism over the years, this treasure bottle seal should have a lot to do with the legendary nine-character mantra, which corresponds to the sealing technique of the word "line" in the nine-character mantra.

But as far as Xia Yang knows, the nine-character mantra first came out of the Eastern Jin Dynasty a generation of Taoist master Ge Hong's "Hug Puzi" inner chapter of the volume, Zhu said: "Those who are fighting in the army are all moving forward in array, and they should often be regarded as all-encompassing." This means that by reciting these nine words, all evil can be removed.

Later, this nine-character mantra was learned by Buddhist Tantra and accompanied by mudras, and gradually became the method of Buddhism.

And this "Soul Fixing Method" is obviously a genuine Taoist exercise, but the Taoist technique in it is named after the treasure bottle seal of the Buddhist family, and the connection seal gesture is also from the Buddhist family, which can't help but make Xia Yang wonder, is this the art of Taoism or Buddhism?

However, in such a world that pursues "three families in one", Taoist spells and Buddhist mudras, although a little weird, are not unimaginable. After all, before the Great Road, there is no Buddha of the Parting Path.

The power of the Heavenly Bottle Seal, Xia Yang still doesn't know, but judging from the aura revealed in it, I'm afraid it's definitely extraordinary!

After practicing this type of sealing, Xia Yang immediately followed up the second type of ground bottle seal.

The mudra of the earth bottle seal is a humble palm, which is also a divine soul dao technique of the main defense. According to the "Soul Fixing Law", if the Yuan Shen is cultivated to Dacheng, once the bottle seal is cast, the protective ability is strong, enough to prevent the invasion of yin and evil, and the laws will not be broken.

Moreover, ordinary Yin Soul must not fly to the extremely high sky, the wind in the sky is terrifying, and it is extremely harmful to the Divine Soul, which is enough to blow away the Divine Soul of the manifestation level. But after practicing the Earth Bottle Seal, he can withstand the wind in the air and keep his soul alive.

It's just that compared to the pure attack technique of the Heavenly Bottle Seal, the Earth Bottle Seal is much more complicated. Xia Yang pondered it for a while, and found that the Dao pattern to be visualized by the Earth Bottle Seal was more than five times that of the Heavenly Bottle Seal. In other words, the difficulty of visualizing the Earth Bottle Seal is five times more than that of the Heavenly Bottle Seal!

However, with the experience of visualizing the Heavenly Bottle Seal, with the strength of Xia Yang's divine soul, five times the difficulty is not a problem at all, and the time he spent is even less than the Heavenly Bottle Seal, and in just three days, he engraved the incomparably complex Dao pattern on the Earth Bottle.

After the two bottles of heaven and earth were cultivated at the same time, the entire gourd treasure bottle above Xia Yang Heavenly Spirit was already as bright as a silver moon, and the power of his divine soul also increased greatly, almost close to condensation, infinitely close to the realm of manifestation!

Xia Yang could feel that if he used the power of lead and mercury, it was very likely that he would be able to manifest himself by now, but in terms of time, it might not last too long.

However, relying on Jindan lead and mercury is always an external force, and the limitations are too great, Xia Yang's real pursuit is to cultivate and grow the divine soul to the point where it can be naturally manifested. And he is still a long way from this level, because he has never considered the matter of manifestation.

Moreover, Xia Yang was not a cultivator, and he did not have mana in his body, whether it was the lead, mercury, golden pill, or Xuanhuo talisman, it was not something he could refine.

Moreover, even if there was really a golden pill fire talisman, Xia Yang would not easily show up.

His recent cultivation progress was really frighteningly fast. Although all of this was due to his previous accumulation, coupled with his life-like day out-of-body travel, using the power of the sun to exercise his soul, his cultivation speed was too fast, and it was always useless for his own cultivation.

Xia Yang decided to slow down his cultivation for the time being, settle down for some time, and then think about the next step of manifesting after he was completely familiar with his current strength and completely consolidated his current realm.

Now that he has practiced the second seal of the Heaven and Earth Treasure Bottle, although he is still only a small success, he has just gotten a glimpse of the door, but he also has enough confidence to fight with the thousand-year-old tree demon. In addition, he also has the means to break the demon flying needle, which is far from being comparable to when Xiahou Jian was killed.

So Xia Yang immediately found Yan Chixia, who was practicing boxing in Tallinn behind the temple, and after he finished standing on a pile, he said to him: "Brother Yan, the time has come to destroy the tree demon!"

"Oh, Brother Xia, your Yuan Shen Technique has been cultivated?" Yan Chixia looked at him in surprise.

"Exactly. Xia Yang whispered, nodded and said, "After many days of cultivation, I finally achieved something." ”

"It seems that the day of the old godly woman's beheading has come. Yan Chixia laughed, and said with pleasure: "I can finally avenge Brother Xiahou, with the help of your primordial god, that old demon will not escape death today!"

After saying that, he turned around and went back to his room, took all the magic weapons, and prepared to go with Xia Yang to eradicate the tree demon.

Before leaving, Yan Chixia took out a hard-shell booklet from her arms and handed it to Xia Yang: "Brother Xia, this "Diamond Sutra", you should bring it for self-defense." ”

"Brother Yan, how can this be done?" Xia Yang subconsciously took the scripture, and couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect Yan Chixia to hand over this treasure to himself.

"How not. Yan Chixia waved her hand, and said with a straight face: "That old demon is profound, don't underestimate it, in case the foolish brother has any accident, when you really want to go out of the body, this scripture can also protect your body." ”

Xia Yang's heart warmed, he understood that Yan Chixia was just in case, after all, if he really fought the law, the situation was unpredictable, so he didn't shirk anymore.

Thinking of the power of this "Diamond Sutra" in the plot, curious, he casually turned two pages, only to see that it was indeed a text that he couldn't understand, so he asked, "Brother Yan, is this Sanskrit?"

"Yes, it's Sanskrit. Yan Chixia looked at him and sighed: "Brother Xia, do you know Sanskrit?"

"I don't know. Xia Yang shook his head: "It's just a guess." ”

He could feel that there was a huge and inexplicable power in this Diamond Sutra, and the monk who wanted to write this sutra must be a high-ranking monk in Buddhism.

"I don't know Sanskrit. Yan Chixia sighed lightly, and continued: "Foolish brother only knows the first sentence above, pronounced as 'Prajnaparamita', as long as the mind is quiet and there is a Buddha, and then reciting this mantra, you can exert a very strong power of Buddhism." It's a pity that this sutra is written in Sanskrit, and it can't translate the above cultivation methods, otherwise with the exorcism power in this sutra, why should the old demon be afraid?"

Hearing his words, Xia Yang couldn't help but stare at him. Yan Chixia always recited the sentence "Prajnaparamita" before casting a spell, this first sentence alone is so powerful, if the whole text is covered, how terrifying it should be!

"It seems that we have to find an opportunity to translate this Diamond Sutra. Xia Yang thought secretly.

He is not a dead brain like the people of ancient times, who simply gave up if he couldn't find a way to translate. Although there are indeed not many people who understand Sanskrit, Xia Yang does not believe in the vast Central Plains, and he cannot find anyone who is proficient in Sanskrit.

However, their first thing at the moment was to eliminate the locust tree spirit, and Xia Yang didn't waste much time on this issue, after putting the Diamond Sutra close to him, he and Yan Chixia walked through Tallinn and went to the depths of the woods behind Lanruo Temple.

It was easy to find the Dryad's body, after all, it was impossible for anyone to ignore the towering ancient tree that covered the sky. In that direction, after crossing Tallinn, the two of them came to a strange locust forest with different postures.

"Brother Xia, be careful, that is the body of the Dryad, with the cultivation of the old demon, every tree here may be our enemy. Yan Chixia held the long sword and said vigilantly.

Xia Yang naturally knew that the entire Lanruo Temple was within the scope covered by the tree demon's body, and it could stretch its rhizomes infinitely in all directions at any time, and its branches were intertwined with other locust trees to form a dense forest, with amazing ability, it can be said that thousands of branches can kill!

However, although this dryad has a thousand-year-old path, because the body is too large, it itself must be greatly restricted, and it is difficult to drive the body to escape.

If the old demon can drive such a huge body at will, then at least it must be the realm of practicing the gods and returning to the void, Xia Yang and Yan Chixia can turn around and leave, it is completely impossible to be the opponent of the old demon.

And now, if the dryad wants to escape, only the original god will come out of the shell, and the victory or defeat of this battle is almost doomed!

Obscured by its foliage, the darkness beneath the giant tree was almost devoid of any light, only endless gloom and eerie. Fortunately, Xia Yang and Yan Chixia are not mortals, their eyesight is extraordinary, and they have not been affected by anything for the time being.

When they came to an overgrown place, the two of them were surprised to find that there were pieces of staggered under their feet, and many tombstones broken from them, which were covered with weeds and moss, and the handwriting on them had long been blurred due to their age.

"This is the mass grave where Nie Xiaoqian's ashes are buried?" Xia Yang thought to himself. Since I saw each other on the first night I came to Lanruo Temple, two months have passed since now, and I don't know what happened to this female ghost.

If it were according to the original plot, the locust tree spirit should have married her to the old demon of Montenegro as a concubine. But since Nie Xiaoqian didn't meet Ning Caichen, with her cleverness, she naturally wouldn't anger the tree demon and easily handed it over to the old demon of Black Mountain.

What's more, he and Nie Xiaoqian had an agreement that if the old demon had any changes, she would find a way to inform herself. And Nie Xiaoqian has not appeared in the past two months, nor has she given herself any information, which means that everything is calm for the time being.

Xia Yang didn't forget what he promised Nie Xiaoqian, found a tombstone engraved with "The Tomb of His Beloved Daughter Nie Xiaoqian", and then borrowed the sword in Yan Chixia's hand, swung out the sword, split the ground, revealing the golden pagoda in it, and took the golden pagoda in his hand.

Yan Chixia had heard Xia Yang talk about Nie Xiaoqian, and when she saw his movements, she couldn't help asking, "Brother Xia, is this the tomb of the female ghost you said?"

Xia Yang nodded: "I promised her to help her get out of the clutches of that old demon and let her be reincarnated, and now it's time to do this." ”

Yan Chixia frowned, and was about to say something when an angry roar suddenly sounded in the field, and then an endless yin wind suddenly blew around her, whistling and sweeping over.

"You dead Taoist priest, and stinky boy, grandma has repeatedly tolerated the two of you, how dare you take an inch to pout my maid's golden pagoda?" The voice that was neither male nor female, neither yin nor yang, roared and echoed in the air.

"Phew, don't talk nonsense, you old pious woman!" Yan Chixia is not a good temper, and she doesn't want to talk nonsense with it, so she scolded directly: "Today, Brother Xia and I are here for the way of heaven, specially for the eradication of your old demon, why don't you show up and die quickly?"

"Damn, you two are too deceitful, let me die!"

With a bang, the ground shook, and just like that night, two huge tongues that exuded a fishy smell broke through the ground and tumbled out, like two nimble giant pythons, sweeping towards the two of them at the same time, wanting to treat them as prey and devour them completely!
