Chapter 151: Sleepless Night
The word Dan seems to run through the entire cultivation path, and all of them have different definitions.
In the true path of the Taoist sect and the true path, it is considered to be an auxiliary means, not the right path. In the eyes of martial arts cultivators, it takes the meaning of mixed elements, interpreting it as the Great Dan of the human body, which means that a person is regarded as a perfect and infinite Dan, a round whole, every inch of skin on the body, every hair must be trained like an arm to make the fingers round as one, a leaf does not add to the body, and there is a stimulus that must be responded. Therefore, sometimes the inner court is also called the realm of the human body.
In the eyes of the cultivators of Dan Dao, there are more interpretations of the word Dan, and there are even differences between the inner and outer Dan.
Dan Dao cultivators still practice the authentic method of the Daomen, but they do not have the heart to participate in the scriptures and realize the Dao, but use the method of alchemy to devour the Dan Qi and quickly improve their cultivation of external skills, as for the law of the heart, they completely ignore it. Of course, there is a great hidden danger in doing this, that is, it is too easy to go crazy and practice yourself to death. Therefore, on the basis of the outer Dan, they also have the method of the inner Dan, and the method of the inner Dan is not really to practice a Dan in the body, but to sharpen their own spirit, so that their spirit is mellow and flawless, like a great Dan.
Being able to embrace one's own spirit into a pill, not being contaminated with foreign objects, not being contaminated with external evils, being able to carry the power of a behemoth, and not easily going mad is the realm of the fake pill, which is the level of the cloaked man that Chen An met before. Later, when he really achieved the mellow and flawless spirit, he no longer needed to hold Yuan Shouyi at all times, and his spiritual will was always there, which was for the Jindan Grandmaster. Their state of mind is also complete, they can cast spells at will, export into a constitution, and even have a variety of means, which really has the demeanor of a great monk.
Of course, the road of sharpening the spirit is miserable, and there are not many people who can achieve it, but compared to the authentic path of enlightenment in the Daomen, the requirements for talent are almost none, and every strong-willed person can make a difference, so the Danfu Sect has gradually become the mainstream of the Xianmen. Nowadays, although Zhengyi is still holding the Dao Gate Niu Er, the four immortals in the Immortal Gate, the Yuan Shen Zhenren of the Dan Fu Sect accounts for three, and only one is the authentic Heavenly Immortal of the Dao Gate, so it can be seen.
After so many years of development, many of the outer methods of the Dan Dao have also been studied, for example, there was once a sect called the Saint Dan Sect, their disciples collected iron and stone things from the time of refining qi, supplemented by medicinal herbs, and boiled them with water and fire to refine them into a pill. They wore this pill on their bodies, imitated the demon clan's method of swallowing and vomiting the inner pill, and used the means of cultivation of the instrument sect to communicate with their lives, and gradually integrated this pill into the body, turned into a part of the body, and really practiced a pill in the body.
These records were only slightly mentioned in the collection of the Lingshu Guanjing Pavilion, and the reason why Chen An was concerned was because he saw the shadow of his Five Poison Yuan Fetus on them. Iron and stone are gold and earth, and medicinal herbs are wood, rendered with the breath of water and fire, and the Five Elements Pill made is simply similar to his own Five Poison Yuan Fetus. The wisdom of his predecessors was really not to be underestimated, and Chen An couldn't help but think that if he had seen these earlier, or even obtained this alchemy method, then he might be able to go further in the concept of the Five Poison Yuan Fetus.
Of course, the Five Poison Yuan Fetus is still different from it, the method of the Outer Dan is all cultivated on that Dan, while the Five Poison Yuan Fetus only improves the physique, and the cultivation is still in itself.
There are countless similar foreign Dao methods in the Xianmen, but the mainstream of the Xianmen is still the Dao Sect Authentic and Dan Dao Methods, or the mainstream of the Dao Sect is the method of cultivating the truth, and the Martial Dao is only a side branch.
Martial arts originate from Taoism, but it is Buddhism that really carries it forward. Buddhism is not in the Four Domains Immortal Gate, but it is preaching in the Central Plains. Its pattern in Daqian is almost the same as what Chen An saw in Dazhou.
At the beginning, Buddhism practiced merit and karma, cause and effect in the afterlife, and since the prosperity of martial arts, Buddhism's martial arts wizards have emerged in an endless stream, gradually taking root in the land of the Central Plains, and the martial arts of the Daomen are weak, and the immortal gate has been squeezed out of the Central Plains. Among the giants of the ten directions, the Shaolin Temple, the Liuli Temple, and the Qingjing Courtyard are Buddhist sects, which directly account for three, while there is only one Zhenwu Mountain in the Daomen that retains a bit of meteorology. Neither the Yuntian Sect nor the Taiyi Upper Sect were pure Daomen martial arts sects.
The world's martial arts out of Shaolin is not an empty word, compared with the peerless divine skills inheritance of the Emperor period, the martial arts of Buddhism are indeed intact. Not to mention the seventy-two stunts of Shaolin, even if it is the thirty-six relics of the white horse of the ancient temple White Horse Temple, a large part of them have been handed down and hidden in the Liuli Temple and Qingjing Temple.
As the head of the Ten Directions, Yuntian Sect is rumored to have one hundred and eight wonderful methods, but not all of them are martial arts, and there are other miscellaneous categories that account for most of them, so in terms of martial arts alone, Buddhism is indeed the first in contemporary times. Of course, these are all things that Chen An heard outside, and the Taoist temple of Lingshu Guan will not record the affairs of Buddhism.
However, in any case, martial arts, as the most shallow cultivation method, is still weak in front of many immortal and Taoist techniques.
It is rumored that there were ancestors in ancient times, who were born with special abilities, and their strength was strong, and they even had the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth. Later generations called their abilities supernatural powers, supernatural powers are strong, and the human body is weak, if it is not for the extraordinary talent and physical ability, it is impossible to cultivate at all. If ordinary people want to cultivate supernatural powers, they must cast a golden body. And the role of martial arts lies in this, just as a cohesive existence, the theory of martial arts through the gods comes from this.
Chen An went to bed after making the bed, delayed for a night, it was only an hour before dawn, and it was too late to go to the Yinfeng Pavilion, in fact, with his cultivation at the peak of the celestial phenomenon, he could already fly in the sky, and he didn't need a cup of tea to go to the Yinfeng Pavilion, but now the wind in Shangluo City is loud, and the monitoring of the big array is running at all times, he estimates that before he flies far, a group of people will come out to surround him, so he simply sleeps and sleeps, and everything will be talked about tomorrow.
The lights were blown out, and the night was quiet again, only the sound of insects chirping, accompanied by good dreams.
Chen An fell asleep, but someone was destined to have trouble sleeping this night.
In a dwelling on the corner of Upper Los Angeles, the lights of beans flickered, at most illuminating a palm-sized area, and the rest of the room was dim. There was a man sitting by the lamplight, dressed in a simple robe, unable to distinguish color in such a dimly lit environment, and his face was in the shadows and difficult to see.
"You go back to the Lord, and we fail. "His voice was deep and stressful, and there was an eerie feeling in such an environment.
"What's the matter? I've just arrived, and I'm going back?" replied to him, in an equally low voice, but unrecognizable, and seemed to come from all sides of the room, strangely inexplicable.
"There are masters in the Lingshu Temple, and there is no news of the specific situation before Lu Fu's death. ”
"What? Lu Fu is the contemporary leader of the Tianshui Sect, and he can escape even if he encounters the Jindan Sect Master, who can let him die silently? Isn't Zhang Qingzhi back?" A series of questions showed that the owner of the voice was extremely uncalm in his heart.
"What's the panic, if it's really Zhang Qingzhi, how can you and I still have our lives. "Zhang Qingzhi, the Beacon Fire God General, is the second grandmaster in Yunzhou in addition to King Xuan, and the first person under King Xuan, stationed in Yuque Pass all year round to resist Yidi, in this era when immortals do not come out, the grandmaster represents the strongest combat power at the peak of the world, so these two people are not afraid.
"King Xuan is unpredictable and unpredictable, and there is an ambush in the Lingshu Temple, which also indirectly shows that the previous guess of the Yunding Sect is likely to be right. It may be hard to believe, but we seem to have really entered the game set up by Emperor Yunting and King Xuan, and now the princess is also shaken, and you have to run this time. ”
"Yes, I noticed it too. The signs of the chaos in Yunzhou have not appeared at all, and we are here to fight the Jiang family to the death, it is really unwise, fortunately, we still have the backhand of the Yunding Sect, and we can retreat in time if we can't violate it, so that we won't all fall inside. ”
"Is the Yunding Sect really reliable? If King Xuan didn't go off the rails and could make a move without hesitation, then we ......" He didn't say any more, but the pessimism in his tone was so pessimistic that anyone could hear it.
Emperor Heng of the Xuan King can't be treated like an ordinary grandmaster, he holds the earth-shattering vertebrae, relying on the guardian array of Shangluo City, even if the golden body comes, he will be hated. If King Xuan hadn't been in retreat because of the fire and had no time to take care of the form of Shangluo City, without the support of the real people of the Yuan Shen, their behavior would be no different from looking for death.
The previous voice fell silent for a long time before saying, "I'll go back and report to the Lord." ”
......
In a mansion not far from the Changshi Mansion, the white-clothed scribe who had previously besieged Chen An with Yuan Jie said to the Forty-Year Confucian in front of him: "Fourth brother, the people of the Xianmen have raided the Lingshu Temple. ”
Confucian immediately asked, "What is the movement of King Xuan?"
"There was no movement. The white-clothed scribe Jiang Han replied with a hesitant and puzzled expression on his face.
"My family has removed my nationality. Confucian said a word, his face was flat, as if he was talking about other people's business. "I thought this was a good opportunity, I thought King Xi would make a move, who knows...... No wonder I'm inferior to them, they really can't bear it better than me...... Maybe King Xuan really wants to fight, but I didn't expect that he would fight, and he would pave the way for his son before fighting, and we are the cornerstone on this road. ”
His tone didn't change much, and he spoke straightforwardly, but Jiang Han could hear a strange depression from it.
This time, the matter is actually very simple, that is, King Xuan released the news that he wanted to retreat, and Emperor Yunting's forces in the north changed frequently, which made the big guy smell an unusual smell, and decided that King Xuan wanted to impact the realm of the golden body, and he would definitely fail, so he took the lead and seized the lead, intending to occupy a place in Yunzhou.
But in the end, they seemed to have been pitted by Di Heng and Di Yun Ting.
According to their ideas, Di Heng has made a difference, Di Yun Ting will definitely deal with it, just follow Di Yun Ting's footsteps, even if the final result is not as desired, he can follow Di Yun Ting and drink a sip of soup. Who knew that Emperor Yunting just moved and lured them out, and then they died down, and even withdrew from Yunzhou entirely, watching the fire from the other side. In Jiang Han's opinion, this is simply shameless, and it is even more hateful than King Xuan, who laid out first.
He really couldn't understand that he and the others had withdrawn, King Xuan was the dominant family in the Northland, if he was allowed to cast a golden body again, the Northland would be completely out of the control of the Central Plains, what good would this do to his Emperor Cloud Court, he was so sure that King Xuan could not cast a golden body?
It's a pity that no matter how angry he is or how unwilling he is, he has to admit that maybe King Xuan really can't cast a golden body, but it's a pity that he and the others may never see that day.
