Climbed up to the third floor, sat quietly cross-legged in front of the sundial, silently reciting the "Huang Ting Jing" in his heart, sorting out the various thoughts tumbling in his mind, but his eyes were firmly staring at the sundial in front of him, watching the shadow of the pointer little by little approaching the last notch of Shen Shi, and it was also the first notch of Youshi......

Time passed little by little, the sun set little by little, and the sunset was shining across the hands of the sundial, pointing to that moment. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Han Nuo rang the first bell just in time.

When—

The bells echoed in the mountains, and in the distance there seemed to be one bell after another, echoing the ringing of the twilight bell.

When—

When—

After three bells, Ji San on the first floor opened the drip of the water leak in time.

Tick-tick-tick-tick

Drops of water drip into the bucket where the water is leaking.

After a while, Zhang Daniu walked out of the kitchen with plates of food, followed by Zhong Lao, who was wearing a kitchen white cloth apron, looking at everything as if everything was on the right track, with the most comfortable smile on his face.

And Han Nuo had already walked down from the third floor at this time.

Several people silently sat down around the table where the dinner was placed, and then chanted in unison: "The Qi of the Five Stars, the Spirit of the Six Grades, the Three True Tiancang, the Qingyun Changying, the Yellow Father and the Child, and the Guard!"

After the recitation, after Zhong Lao softly announced, "Open dinner!", everyone began to eat silently, without a trace of noise.

......

After the meal, after Zhang Daniu cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks with the help of Han Nuo and Ji San, he walked quietly on the seat, looking at Zhong Lao with an expectant face, looking forward to Zhong Lao continuing to talk about the topic before the meal.

"Okay, sit down, I'll talk about it for you!" Looking at the three of them with a thirst for knowledge, Zhong Lao was also full of words, so he continued, "In the Lingbao Realm, there are five paths to the cultivation path that has been systematized, and in general, they are all taken in accordance with the path of refining and refining qi, refining qi and transforming gods, refining gods and returning voids, and practicing void and combining paths.

"This first is the ancient road of Tianzun's personal transmission, and it is the road of joint practice, which is divided into the four realms of building the foundation, knotting the Dan, the Yuan Baby, and the distraction of the gods, and the three of the foundation are cultivated together, and the spirit of condensing the spirit is opened up in the lower dantian to open up the purple mansion, and the true yuan is cultivated, and the knot is specially cultivated for refining the essence, the Yuan Ying is turned into the practice of qi, and the distraction is to turn to the cultivation of the divine soul, the three treasures of the essence and the spirit of the gods, and the Theravada achieves the true immortal, and is at ease!"

"The opening up of this second path starts with a master ancestor Xuanzhen Sword Master three thousand years ago, that Xuanzhen Sword Master is a Xuanzhen Sword Master who has enough innate essence, but he does not cultivate the two treasures of Qi and God like others, but instead suppresses the growth of the divine soul, causing the Xuanzhen Sword Master to stagnate an inch after cultivating to the realm of distraction, and the path is cut off. ”

He resolutely sealed his own cultivation, and created a method of cultivating the way of refinement according to the three realms and a great clan, starting from the foundation building period, he transferred the power of the essence to the sword, combined with the sword, and sacrificed the sword body, which was divided into the four realms of foundation building, refining the truth, condensing, and Jindan, and practiced the sword body Jindan, and became a Taoist immortal. Zhong Lao said, his face fascinated.

Slowly recovering his demeanor, Zhong Lao continued: "This third path also starts from three thousand years, three thousand years ago, the Xuanming Sword Lord was a witness immortal, summoned by Tianzun, and opened another vein in the Shangqing Dao, which is designed for those who are congenitally deficient in vitality, The spirit is not prosperous, but the person with sufficient essence opens the way, this matter completely caused a sensation in the Lingbao world, and also aroused the mind of an old monk, he is an older monk than the Xuanming Sword Master, the name Xuanxuan, he is because of the lack of congenital essence, resulting in being trapped in the realm of the Dan for hundreds of years, at this time I heard the legend of the Xuanming Sword Master, which triggered the pride in my heart, and vowed to open up a road to the immortal road for those who are innate and lacking vitality, and then, he invested in the refining of the Xuanming Sword Lord and carefully studied the various Taoist classics left by the Xuanzhen Sword Master, which lasted eighty-one years, and finally realized all when the Tianshou was about to end, and still abolished his own cultivation and turned to cultivate and practice qiIn the end, it is proved that the Heavenly Immortals, the Heaven and Earth are free! The Qi Cultivation Pulse is divided into four realms as well as the Refining Essence Realm: Foundation Building, Refining Truth, Condensation, and Yuan Spirit, but it is the Yuan Spirit that needs to be cultivated in the end!"

"When the Xuanxu Sword Master obtained the Heavenly Immortal, he was also summoned by the Heavenly Venerable, and began to open up a vein of Qi cultivation in the Shangqing Temple, and worshiped Xuanxu as the Sword Master like the Xuanming Sword Master. ”

Exhaling lightly, Zhong Lao took a sip of tea lightly, and continued: "This fourth road, it is a little special to say, this fourth road is the path of the divine soul, its founder is a mortal old man, this mortal is a person with profound wisdom, the innate soul is strong, but the dantian under it is born with a deficiency, the innate essence is missing, and the general of the Dao Palace at that time only has to enjoy the longevity of a Jiazi." ”

However, this old man is also tenacious, wisdom like the sea, due to the lack of congenital essence, he is destined to be lonely and helpless all his life, so he went to the Yiye view outside the city to meditate, day and night to serve Tianzun, study the Taoist scriptures every day, meditate and practice, but thus see the sea of consciousness, and according to the Taoist scriptures in the record of the six reincarnations of the underworld and the help of the Tianzun law, created the six ways of visualization and the six ways of the sword, directly cultivated on the dantian, so as to successfully embark on the road, and then get the help of the Tianzun Dharma, inherit the ancient way, refining, The cultivation method of the three paths of qi cultivation and related secret techniques, the old man also created the cultivation method of the way of the divine soul, cultivated the yang god, entered and exited the netherworld, and obtained the earth immortal,"

"Because the way of the divine soul is also opened up according to the theory of the Xuanzhen Sword Master, the realm division is very similar to the first two, divided into the four realms of foundation building, refining truth, condensing, and yang god. At the end, Zhong Lao finally turned into envy.

Gently taking a sip of tea and moistening his throat, Zhong Lao continued: "In this way, there is also this fourth path in the Shangqing Dao - the way of the divine soul, these four paths are essentially the cultivation of the three treasures of the human body, and they all need to comprehend the power of the origin of heaven and earth, so they all have different requirements for cultivators, you have to continue to work hard!"

"We know Grandpa Zhong!" The three people who had been attracted by the story at this time looked at Zhong Lao with a look of admonition and hurriedly replied. Then Ji San continued to ask impatiently, "Grandpa Zhong, what about the fifth way?"

"Impatient leather monkey!" Zhong Lao didn't blame Ji San for interrupting his thoughts, but continued to talk with a smile. Ji San, on the other hand, smiled and continued to listen carefully to Zhong Laohou's words: "These are the four mature avenues that you can already choose to go straight to the immortal road! This fifth road is very rugged and difficult, and the talent requirements are indeed a little special. ”

"This fifth road is a bit special to say! This has to start from the founding of the Qin State, which was more than 2,500 years ago. Zhong Lao closed his eyes, and there seemed to be all kinds of past things in front of him, "More than two thousand five hundred years ago, this spiritual treasure world suddenly became not peaceful, and a group of special beings appeared, they called themselves demons, and plundered and killed sentient beings, plundered the blood, bones, souls, emotions, grievances, and so on of all sentient beings as cultivation food, and even practiced with the karma of heaven and earth, destroying the balance of heaven and earth, and wantonly slaughtering the people of the human race. ”

"Under the ravages of demon cultivation, Tianzun specially passed down the "Sutra of Salvation" to reduce the demonic energy, purify the heaven and earth, and restore the heaven and earth. ”

"The demon cultivators who were driven to the outside of the fortress were not reconciled, and began to infect the beasts with demonic energy, turning into demonic beasts, ferocious and rampant, killing and killing, and giving birth quickly, although the road to rise was cut off, but it also made its number greatly increase and invaded the borders, and our monks were under the control of the demon cultivators, and the people were constantly invaded. ”

Therefore, the lord of the Great Shang State at that time decided to divide the princes in a big way, raise troops with the princes, extend the strategy to the outside side, build the Great Wall, and defend against the monsters, so on the basis of the twelve major vassal states at that time, the new twelve vassal states were built, and the entire frontier of the Great Shang was divided into twenty-four sections. ”

At that time, the Qin State was newly built, the soldiers were in full bloom, 100,000 swordsmen crisscrossed the desert north, relying on the Great Wall to resist the attack of the monsters, at that time, there was a belt of generals, called the white war, perennial battles, killing demons with swords, and practicing the swordsmanship in the army to be superb, and finally clear-minded, realized the true meaning of the sword, entered the way with the sword, turned the sword in the hand into the sword, and created the "basic sword skills" , practice basic sword skills, understand the sword heart, build the foundation of the sword heart, and then get the heavenly honor to grant the sword Taoist supernatural powers, into the subtle power, the magic power of the Tao, with the iron and blood in the army to practice, to prove the god of war, is the exclusive way of cultivation for the sergeant in the army, but although there are many practitioners of this way, but there are very few people who enter the Tao, and there is no longevity before this Taoist god of war, so many monks of this way can turn into war spirits after the end of their life and continue to practice and continue to practice, and most of them are ghosts and immortals. ”

"In essence, this fifth path belongs to the way of the sword god, relying on the iron-blooded battle intent in the army, and there is no need to comprehend the origin of heaven and earth, as long as it is in line with the war intent in the army. Zhong Lao said this, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued: "If you still haven't set foot on the path within five years of the Dao Palace, and you can't feel the origin of heaven and earth, this is also a new road, but this road will have to suffer, if you still can't build a foundation within three years, and you can't set foot on the road, then you can only go home and farm, otherwise that body of killing will easily be confused by demon cultivation, turn into a demon like a demon, lose your mind, and turn into a killing machine." ”

"Grandpa Zhong, is there any difference between this true immortal, heavenly immortal, earth immortal, human immortal, and ghost immortal, they are all immortals, why are they called different?" Han Nuo, who had been listening carefully to Zhong Lao, finally asked the biggest doubt in his heart.

"Because the path of transcendence is different, so the immortals cast are also different!" Seeing that there were still doubts on the faces of several people, Zhong Lao continued. True immortals are the most free, almost omnipotent in heaven and earth, human immortals are strong in the flesh, invincible in close combat, but they are also prone to blood impulsiveness, they will start a war at every turn, cause and effect in vain, the earth immortal yang god is extremely powerful, you can go in and out of the netherworld, go to the sky and enter the earth, but the physical body is always a big shackle, once the yang god leaves the body, the body will turn into a turtle breath state, and if you don't return for seven days, the body will be completely cut off and die, then your yang god can only be a rootless and baseless immortal, not as good as a ghost immortal!" The heavenly immortals are the closest to the true immortals, the heavens and the earth, and it is indispensable to enter and exit the netherworld, but the physical body is weak, and it is difficult to withstand the powerful and incomparable sword qi, and it is difficult to bear the powerful sword qi, and it is necessary to hurt others first, so you need to purify your sword qi as much as possible! The last ghost immortal is because there is a yin soul that becomes an immortal, and it is more difficult to go further after becoming a ghost immortal than other immortals, so the ghost immortal is more willing to cut off the immortal body after becoming an immortal, reincarnate and rebuild, and reshape the Dao Ji!"

After Zhong Lao finished the last paragraph, he tidied up his clothes and said to the three people with unsatisfied faces: "Okay, this topic can be talked about here, Xiaonuo, the water leak is about to drip out, you go up to the third floor, when the time comes, I will shake the little bell next to the wood, and then you will hit the sleep bell, it will still be three sounds, remember?"

"Oh! I know Grandpa Zhong!" still didn't come back to his senses, and after Han Nuo, who was bent on rolling Zhong Lao's words, replied, he stood up and walked towards the staircase with his head down, and the result was ......

"Bang-" "Oops!"

Han Nuo, who had his head down, suddenly crashed into the edge wall of the stairs.

Rubbing his forehead, looking at Zhong Lao, who was smiling at this time, and Zhang Daniu and Ji San, who were a little stunned, Han Nuo felt that his old face was red, and he quickly opened the small door at the staircase and got in, which would be a shame and a big loss!

"Hahahaha-" "Hahahaha-"

Behind him, there were bursts of laughter, and when I heard it, I knew that it was the big cow and the little three.

At this time, Zhong Lao also smiled and pinched the beard at the corner of his mouth, and whispered in his heart: Let your kid be unrelenting, and suffer it!
