Chapter 8: Seals
The spirit birds fly in the mountains, and everything grows. The flowers are delicate, the green grass is secluded, and the creatures are full of life. And in front of the cave on the mountainside, it is much quieter.
The shrubs obscured the handwriting carved outside the cave door, but it seemed that it could not hide the long-standing sense of vicissitudes.
"I am Zhao Qin, the head of the Miaokong Sect. Zhao Qin said slowly, "Thousands of years ago, it was rumored everywhere that as long as you practiced the Dharma classics of various sects, you could repair the Book of Heaven, get the Order of God Slayer, and you could command the world to be proud, and even get the method of eternal life and ascend to the immortal." Therefore, monks from all over the world visited various sects and schools everywhere to borrow Dharma scriptures. And how could each sect casually pass on the methods of its own sects, so the various sects began to close their doors and refuse customers. Later, many monks began to steal the sect's scriptures, and our Miaokong Sect rose from that time. The patriarch of this sect is good at tracking, escaping, hiding and other spells, and after opening the Miaokong Gate, he began to steal the cultivation methods of various sects. Even the Puzhao Temple, known as the three major sects, Baixian Mountain, Tianyuan Sect, as well as the most mysterious Dougong clan and the Xiaoyao faction, Master Zu has all patronized. And stealing so many Dharma cheats is to repair the Book of Heaven and study the Divine Slaughter Order. That's why the world also calls us 'book cultivators.'" ”
"Then why didn't my senior let me practice these exercises?" Shen Xingchen asked.
Zhao Qin didn't answer Shen Xingchen's question, and continued: "Our Miaokong Sect is the same as the Xiaoyao Sect, it is passed down in the same lineage, that is, we only accept one disciple, and if the head of the sect falls, the disciple will take over the head of the sect. Due to the perennial theft, our Miaokong Sect should be the most feared sect by the world except for the Tianyuan Sect. And because the ancestor stole a lot of secret books of the method before, in addition to practicing the methods of their own school, the beginner disciples can also choose the secret books of each school at will to practice, so the mana of the disciples of this school is generally very strong. Even in places like Puzhao Temple, Baixian Mountain, and Tianyuan Sect, where masters gather, it can be like entering a no-man's land. ”
Shen Xingchen listened carefully.
"After I entered the Mystic Empty Gate, I began to study the classics of various sects and tried to restore the Book of Heaven. But I always felt that something was missing. So I also followed the example of my grandfather and continued to steal the cheats of various sects. It wasn't until I met a person, the 'Hundred Poison Fairy' from the Medicine King Valley, that I stopped. Thinking that I have a chic life, happy and revenge, and meeting her may also be a kind of catastrophe. Speaking of this, Zhao Qin couldn't help but feel a little sad. And Shen Xingchen, who was sitting on the stone bench opposite, listened without saying a word.
"Personnel can't be complete, although I have also stolen a lot of cheats, but I still can't complete the world's cheats and repair the Book of Heaven. I also lost my feet in an accident and couldn't stand and walk again. Talking about the past, Zhao Qin became more and more heavy. He didn't speak for a long time.
"Stars. I don't know how long it took, Zhao Qin suddenly shouted.
"Senior, you said, the stars are listening. ”
"In fact, even if you cultivate all the secret books in the world, it is impossible to completely restore the Book of Heaven. It's like the Demon Lord has practiced the key methods of the three major sects, but he still can't ascend to immortality, but his mana is high. ”
"Then how can we repair the Book of Heaven?"
"Go to the Three Immortals Mountain and directly find the mark left by the Emperor of Heaven. ”
"Do seniors want me to go to Sanxian Mountain?"
Zhao Qin looked at Shen Xingchen and said firmly: "No, I'm telling you this, not for you to go to the Three Immortal Mountains. Because even if you find the Three Immortal Mountains, it would be illusory to directly cultivate the Book of Heaven and want to get the God Slaughter Order. After all, so many people went in the past, and the best result was just to understand their own way and start a sect, since so many masters have experienced so many twists and turns, and they can't crack the Book of Heaven after spending so much time and experience, let alone a child. ”
"What does the senior want Xingchen to do?"
"Go to Baixian Mountain. ”
"Why, didn't my predecessors teach me so many skills, including many exercises in Baixian Mountain, isn't going to Baixian Mountain to put the cart before the horse?"
"Although I have taught you a lot of exercises about Baixian Mountain, which seems to be very powerful, it is actually better to go to Baixian Mountain to practice in an orderly manner, and understand the mysteries in more detail. After all, they have been established for a long time, and the exercises of their own sect have been tempered thousands of times, and countless verifications have been confirmed, and it is better to have someone to guide them than for us laymen to ponder blindly. ”
Zhao Qin continued: "According to legend, the exercises in the three major sects are cultivated to the extreme, and you can also get a glimpse of the true face of the Book of Heaven. If you have the word 'star' in your name, someone will surely seek you to practice against the Demon Lord who will be born. I used the 'Conversion of Heavenly Rhyme Method' of the Easy Sect to calculate that the person who found you was Shouqing of Baixian Mountain. This man is extraordinary. The Baixian Mountain exercises are divided into nine levels, many people linger in the fourth order, more people stop at the fifth order, and the sixth order is a bottleneck and difficult to climb. Those who have cultivated to the seventh order can stand alone in the world, and those who have cultivated to the eighth order are even rarer, and the ninth order is ...... So far, I have only heard that two people have cultivated, the first is the founding patriarch of Baixian Mountain, and the second is the amazing wizard Duan Sword Soul who fell in love with the Demon King eight hundred years ago. has a long history, and no one can argue whether it is true or not. And Shouqing Old Dao, he has already cultivated to the seventh order, which is the same as the cultivation of the head of Baixian Mountain. Legend has it that even the Demon Lord's Baixian Mountain exercises have only been practiced to the seventh order, and the main reason why he is invincible is because he has practiced more exercises from Puzhao Temple and Tianyuan Sect, complementing each other and exerting the power of the ninth level. If Shouqing guides you to practice the White Immortal Mountain Method, coupled with your qualifications, he will surely soar to the sky one day. Even if you cultivate to the ninth order, you don't know. When the time comes, you may also be able to discover the mysteries of the Book of Heaven. ”
Zhao Qin paused for a moment, and then said: "In fact, cultivating multiple methods, it is easy to be bound and involved too much, just take the Puzhao Temple and Baixian Mountain Method, one in and one out, one yin and one yang, if you practice at the same time, one wrong step, you may end up with a catastrophe." This is one of the reasons why I only let you know about the world's exercises, but I don't let you practice them. Another and more important reason is that I know that you are about to go to Baixian Mountain, where there are many masters, and once you practice the exercises of other sects, people will definitely see that this is very unfavorable to you. ”
Shen Xingchen lowered his head and said timidly: "Xingchen doesn't want to practice any heavenly books, he just wants to serve your old man well. ”
"Bastard. Zhao Qin suddenly became angry when he heard this, "A manly husband should have ambitions, what are you doing in this poor ravine for the rest of your life?"
Shen Xingchen saw that Zhao Qin was furious, and he didn't dare to say anything, but lowered his head and remained silent.
Seeing Shen Xingchen like this, Zhao Qin suddenly felt pity. "Xingchen, I know, I'm going too far and trying to arrange where your life will go. ”
"No, Xingchen knows that the seniors are for my good. Just ......"
Zhao Qin looked at Shen Xingchen, touched his head and said, "Actually, repairing the Book of Heaven is originally an ethereal thing. I've already seen it through. Then he raised his head and looked at the light shining from outside the cave, with a little sadness in his eyes, "It's just that the Demon Lord is about to be born, and the world will definitely be ruined." The monk has been rainbow for a long time, and no one in the world can compete with it. Everyone pinned their hopes on the prophecy of the Loose Immortal. Although it is unknown whether this prophecy is true or false, it is still a hope...... You have someone you want to protect!"
Hearing this, Shen Xingchen's mind flashed with the villagers who had always taken care of him, the third uncle, Uncle Fang, the second fat, the third sister and other partners who grew up together. "Yes. ”
"I have it too, I just don't know where she is now. And I'm just a cripple now, and there's no way to protect her. So I hope you can shoulder this responsibility and protect the people in the world, protect the people you want to protect, and protect the people I want to protect. ”
"Yes, senior, Xingchen understands. ”
Zhao Qin took out a red jade from his arms, the size of his thumb, and the red light on the jade flowed, containing brilliance. "This is the natal light stone I refined, and there is one of my divine thoughts in it. In the future, if your life is in danger, crush this stone, and it may be able to save your life. This jade is sealed with my self-created sealing technique, and others can't detect the energy inside, even if they are guarded, there is no way. But for the sake of safety, it is still less known and taken out in a critical situation. ”
Shen Xingchen took the jade: "Xingchen knows." ”
"Remember, don't mention me to anyone, or you will be the enemy of the world. Hide yourself. ”
Shen Xingchen nodded heavily.
"I didn't want to accept you as an apprentice before, because Miaokongmen is not a decent family, and you shouldn't stay in Miaokongmen, but today you are leaving ....... I don't have any apprentices either, Miaokongmen...... It's time to end ...... too. Zhao Qin took a deep breath: "You go over and kneel, kowtow to me three times, and call me a master." ”
Shen Xingchen hurriedly got up, knelt in front of Zhao Qin and shouted, "Master, please accept the apprentice's bow." Three more kowtows. At this time, for some reason, Shen Xingchen shed tears.
Maybe it's because it's about to leave, maybe it's because it's too long to wait for this moment, maybe there's too much maybe......
He took out a package from behind him and said, "This is your father's remains." ”
Shen Xingchen hurriedly and carefully took the package and put it in the bamboo basket.
Zhao Qin suddenly pinched his fingers and pointed at Shen Xingchen. Shen Xingchen suddenly hung in the air. "Today, the master will give you another ride. The Immortal Mountain Seal is the White Immortal Mountain Sealing Technique, and the Arhat Golden Body Seal of Puzhao Temple, the Yin Yin Seal of the Tianyuan Sect, and the Golden Bell Divine Seal of the Dougong Clan are called the four major sealing techniques, which you already know. ”
Zhao Qinyun's true qi was transmitted from mind to thought, and he saw a purple qi on each of his hands entering Shen Xingchen's body, and at this time, Shen Xingchen began to feel that the meridians of his whole body were retrograde. "Except for the Golden Bell Divine Seal, which traps people in the Golden Bell and restricts their freedom, other sealing techniques are sealed on the human body and restrict their practice. In the case of the Arhat Golden Body Seal of Puzhao Temple, it can suppress the potential of the human body and control the mana of the human body to a certain extent. The Yin and Netherworld Seal is more special, he can seal one person to another person, the sealed person is not only restricted in his own cultivation, but also will be repelled by another true qi in the body that does not belong to him, and the pain is unbearable, if the cultivation is not enough, he can't stand the power of these two different true qi, and he may die at any time. And the Immortal Mountain Seal, those who are sealed, their cultivation will be completely stopped, no matter how high your mana is before, after being sealed, your cultivation will be zero, and you will no longer be able to practice. As a result, all sects used sealing techniques to seal traitors and heinous people, and even they themselves were not aware of these things. ”
Zhao Qin withdrew his right hand, pinched the trick and recited the mantra, and pressed his index finger and middle finger together like a sword to his left arm, advancing from Quchi acupoint to Daling acupoint: "The major sealing techniques are all forbidden techniques, which are basically held by the sect enforcers and the head of the sect, and the solution held by the head of the sect. In addition, I have heard that the first god monk Hongya also has a sealing technique in his hand that is not known to outsiders. No matter what kind of sealing technique it is, whether the person receiving the seal breaks through the seal with its own ability, or uses external force to break the seal, the cultivation will increase dramatically. Therefore, if the Demon Lord is born, his cultivation will not only not be reduced from the year, but will be even higher. Nowadays, the sealing techniques of various sects are either lost or lost, and many of them cannot be lifted. Therefore, the sealing technique will also be used sparingly. ”
Zhao Qin withdrew his right hand, pointed at Shen Xingchen, turned Shen Xingchen over in the air, and waved it at Shen Xingchen's back, only to see that mountains slowly appeared on Shen Xingchen's back, and there was a burning sensation on Shen Xingchen's back, which was extremely painful. "Today's master will put the immortal mountain seal into your body, as long as Shouqing sees it, he will definitely do everything he can to help you lift it, once the seal is lifted, your cultivation will definitely increase day by day, if there is no one in Baixian Mountain to help you, then you will take more time to lift it yourself according to the records in the book, and you must find a way to enter the forbidden land of Baixian Mountain, climb to the top of that purple mountain, and open the true power of Baixian Mountain's "Taiyi True Gong". ”
Shen Xingchen was tortured, the burning sensation spread all over his body, and he slowly lost consciousness, and when he was dazed, he only vaguely heard the words that Zhao Qin often said in his mouth.
If a husband is born, old, sick and dies, he will taste the warmth and coldness of human affection.
A floating dream is like a cloud of smoke, and suddenly it is difficult to find its traces.
What is held today is not what is available tomorrow; what is lost now can be gained later; do not look at the overall situation in one thing or another, and look at the overall situation from a long time. Yesterday is difficult to return, the past is difficult to chase, let go of the certainty, grasp it, and look forward to the future.
The seven emotions stay for a while, the six desires are only for a while, and they have received it, what is it? What is it! What is it! What can't be accepted, if it is accepted, it should be accepted, and what is it!
Projectile Qiankun, dust sun and moon, at a glance, all over the world. Why can't you go? Why can't you go?
I don't know how long it took, when Shen Xingchen woke up again, he was already outside the cave, with a bamboo basket containing his father's body beside him. Holding a red jade stone in his hand. Looking at the cave again, it has been sealed by large stones, and a wisp of green smoke is squeezed out of the gap, followed by a strong smell of burning.
"Master......" Shen Xingchen shouted, knelt in front of the cave, and couldn't stop crying, in great pain.
Since Zhao Qin left Shen Xingchen behind, he asked him to memorize the world's methods and teach her all about cultivation. Although he threatened with his father's body, Zhao Qin helped find his father's body, and took the extremely precious life-sustaining pill to renew his mother's life. What Zhao Qin gave Shen Xingchen was only grace and endless love. And Shen Xingchen has long regarded Zhao Qin as a reborn parent. However, no matter how good Zhao Qin was to Shen Xingchen, he was always reluctant to accept Shen Xingchen as an apprentice, saying that it was because he was unwilling, but Shen Xingchen knew that Zhao Qin just didn't want to have anything to do with Miaokongmen and make himself an enemy of the world. Zhao Qin's love for himself is no less than any parent's love for his own child.
Today, Zhao Qin has been reluctant to tell Shen Xingchen about himself, and finally asked Shen Xingchen to call him master. But as soon as the master recognized, he wanted to part. Looking at the situation at the entrance of the cave, I am afraid that Zhao Qin has already ...... Thinking of this, Shen Xingchen felt sad for a while.
Look at your body again, the whole body is covered with green mountains, lifelike. There are a total of ninety-nine green mountains in the whole body, but at the point of the middle acupoint, there is a purple mountain, and the purple air circulates around, as if it contains another world. A total of 100 mountain seals. This made Shen Xingchen puzzled, aren't there ninety-nine White Immortal Mountains? Why are there one hundred engraved by the Immortal Mountain Seal.
In the end, Shen Xingchen tidied up his clothes, touched the jade in his arms and glanced at the entrance of the cave, dragging his tired body towards the place agreed with the villagers......
