Volume 1 Seven Rank Taoist Priests Chapter 140 True Qi and Blood Qi
The speed of the ship is extremely fast, and the distance of ninety miles is an hour.
No matter what kind of beautiful scenery it is, it is naturally excellent at first glance, but after watching it for a long time, it is inevitable that you will get tired of it.
Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu also discussed how the scenery was at the beginning, what allusions there were, and after a long time, Zhang Yuelu was not happy to say it, Qi Xuansu simply proposed to pass the time with a few rounds of Xuansheng cards.
This is exactly what Zhang Yuelu wanted, and he agreed directly.
Time flies by in the middle of a game. After the passenger ship arrived at Padang Guandu, it docked for an hour, and neither of them got off the boat and continued to play cards.
When the passenger ship was back on the road, Zhang Yuelu put away the Xuansheng card and urged Qi Xuansu to refine the medicinal power.
Qi Xuansu is still extremely concerned about his own cultivation, and he can't just think about shortcuts like "Xuanyu", and he can't fall behind on the right path of hard work, so he didn't slack off, returned to his room, and began to meditate on luck.
Zhang Yuelu simply came to Qi Xuansu's room to protect him to avoid any accidents.
In this way, Zhang Yuelu really saw that something was wrong.
Sanren was originally considered a low-ranking Immortal, so there were many similarities between the two, even more so before the Immortal converted all of his True Qi into True Yuan.
Before the Heavenly People, the cultivation methods of the Sanren were not much different from those of the Immortals, and they were all based on Qi training. But Zhang Yuelu found at this time that as Qi Xuansu began to refine the deposition medicinal power in his body, the qi and blood in his body also worked, mixing with the true qi, just like the cultivation methods of the scattered people and martial artists in parallel.
The reason why she didn't notice it before was because when Qi Xuansu drank the medicinal wine for the first time, the red-hot medicinal power was too strong, covering up many abnormalities in the past, but now that the medicinal power has weakened, it is gradually revealed.
Zhang Yuelu looked at Qi Xuansu thoughtfully.
Is it just because of a demon pill?
Qi Xuansu didn't know anything about Zhang Yuelu's doubts, he only felt that there were two completely different qi in his body at this time, one was true qi, like a gurgling stream, and the other was blood qi, like a wider and faster flowing river.
True Qi originates from the refining and refining of Qi Qi on the way of Qi refining, blood and blood originates from the Qi and blood of Wufu on the way of martial arts, and the word "Jing" of "refining" is essence blood, which can be said to be the same origin of the two paths.
The difference between the two lies in the word "refining", the qi refiner refines the natural essence and blood of the human body, as if refining iron ore into refined iron, while the martial artist not only does not cultivate the soul, nor does he refine the essence and blood, does not perceive the internal and external communication, the unity of heaven and man, and the method of controlling the vitality of heaven and earth, and only focuses on himself wholeheartedly, training meat, tendons, skin, and bones, until he is reborn and becomes an immortal.
Because of the distraction of the heart, single-mindedly only cultivating the body, the vitality of the martial arts is very strong, and the mutilated limbs can be reborn over time, which is the realm derived from flesh and blood, and the pure mind is the realm of the heavens. It is extremely restrained against the spirit of the Fang Shi who has not yet become a celestial man.
And the Qi Refiners who cultivate True Qi, even including the Immortals and the Sanren, due to the pursuit of the unity of heaven and man, although the True Qi is more majestic and abundant, but it is also pure, so the restraint of Qi and blood is much lower, and it cannot be derived from flesh and blood.
At the beginning, Qi Xuansu killed the Fang Shi in the stage of returning to the truth in the Relic Mountain City, relying on the restraint of the human immortal inheritance on the ghost immortal inheritance, but if he changed to a qi refiner, a witch zhu, or even an immortal or a hermit, he would definitely not be able to defeat the scholar lightly, which is the reason why the human immortal inheritance in the Five Immortals Inheritance "Heaven and Earth Gods, Men and Ghosts" ranks before the ghost immortal inheritance.
As for why the inheritance of human immortals is after the inheritance of the other three immortals, it is because even if the martial arts are celestial, they are all based on their physique when they fight with people, and there are no miracles such as the volley of imperial qi, the manifestation of the law, and the call for wind and rain. The so-called "human immortals" are still "people" after all, and they can only succumb to the three immortals of "heaven and earth gods".
Not only that, because the martial arts do not run the Zhou Tian, breath in the aura of heaven and earth, have to eat a lot to replenish and strengthen their own qi and blood, the requirements for ingredients and medicinal materials are extremely high, there is a saying that the poor are rich and martial, the cost of martial arts is far better than that of Fangshi, but compared with Wu Zhu, the incense power does not need Taiping money, but the effort and manpower required to collect the incense wish power can be converted into Taiping money, which may not be less than the Taiping money spent by Wufu.
From the perspective of the Daomen, the Qi Refiner is the pillar of the Daomen, and there are relatively few other inheritances. The martial artists are mainly concentrated in the black-clothed people of the imperial court, and there are not many martial artists in the Daomen.
Before Xuansheng integrated the Five Immortal Inheritance, the various inheritances were very chaotic, most of the time they were just very simple and rude divided into martial artists and alchemists, and the Qi Refiners and Qi Immortals who were inclined to melee combat were all divided into the ranks of martial artists, and the Qi Refiners and Qi Immortals were also confused, many Qi Immortals were regarded as Qi Refiners with better talent and qualifications, while Wu Zhu was mostly divided into the ranks of Fang Shi.
It wasn't until Xuansheng integrated the five major inheritances that it was completely clear that only the human immortal inheritance was a martial artist, and the rest of the qi refiners and immortals were not martial artists, but belonged to the earth immortal inheritance and the heavenly immortal inheritance respectively.
Unlike the Qi Refiners, who are mainly based on the three major dantians, the twelve veins of the Zhengjing, and the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, the martial artist is mainly based on the countless acupoints in the body, carrying qi and blood, washing the acupoints, and then condensing the body and gods.
If it is not a special immortal inheritance, there is no Dacheng method summarized by the Daomen, it is difficult to find many acupoints in the body, because each acupoint has a very subtle and unique position, and even the knots are hidden in the knots, and one knack leads to a hundred knots, and the condensation process is extremely complicated and difficult.
Qi Xuansu also considered taking the path of immortals at the beginning, but after careful consideration, he still chose to scatter people, in addition to a slight lack of qualifications, poverty is also a problem that cannot be bypassed.
Now, although Qi Xuansu can't condense his body and spirit, he can carry qi and blood like running true qi, and achieve the effect of some martial arts cultivation, making his body strong and improving the realm of flesh and blood.
In other words, Qi Xuansu is in the Jade Void stage, but he has both the Jade Ding realm of scattered people and the flesh-and-blood derivative realm of martial arts. This is what makes Zhang Yuelu feel surprised.
At this time, Qi Xuansu only felt that the whole body was comfortable, rolling hot, and the "stream" and "small river" converged in one place, mixed with the burning medicinal power deposited in the body, as if there was a fire dragon swimming quickly, not only through the twelve veins of the main meridian and the eight veins of the strange meridian, but also through the acupuncture points.
In the process of wandering, there is constantly blood being engulfed into it, and there is constantly blood left, filling the vacancy of being coerced blood, which is in line with the principle that flowing water does not rot and does not rot. However, when passing through the left arm, because the meridians here have just been connected, it is as if leaving Yangguan Avenue and entering the rugged mountain road, the journey is extremely difficult, and a large amount of blood and qi are left here.
In the end, the "small river" transformed by blood qi dissipated everywhere in the body with part of the medicinal power, as if moisturizing things silently, while the true qi returned to the Xia Dantian Qi Sea with part of the medicinal power to strengthen itself.
Qi Xuansu slowly woke up from his meditation and exhaled a breath of turbidity.
Zhang Yuelu sat not far away, saw Qi Xuansu wake up, and said, "Your time in this meditation is not short. ”
Qi Xuansu asked, "What time is it?" ”
Zhang Yuelu took out his pocket watch and glanced at it, and replied, "Today is November 12, and it's the end of noon." ”
Qi Xuansu roughly calculated the time, the two left the Jinguan Mansion on the third day of the first month of November, and walked for five days to arrive at the White Emperor City, that is, the eighth day of the first month of November, because of Qi Xuan's injury, the two stayed in the White Emperor City for three days, left the White Emperor City by boat on November 11, and arrived at the Padang ferry on the same day.
In this way, he was set for a day and a night.
Zhang Yuelu looked out the window: "It's about to arrive at Jiangling Mansion, and it is also the end of this passenger ship." ”
Jiangling Mansion is the capital of Huzhou, and Jiangling City is the state city, including the Yunmeng Governor's Mansion, Huzhou Governor's Yamen, Huzhou Sansi Yamen and many other powerful yamen, all of which are here, which can be described as an important town in the southeast. And because it is adjacent to the Great River in the south, the Han River in the north, the Chongqing and Shu in the west, and Xiaowu in the south, it is called the "thoroughfare of seven states".
According to the division of the Daomen, Huzhou is still the territory of the Quanzhen Dao, but it is already the border of the Quanzhen Dao, and out of Huzhou, whether it is Jiangzhou, Xiaozhou, or Wuzhou, they all belong to the territory of Zhengyi.
Qi Xuansu couldn't help but ask, "Why did Xuansheng divide the three major factions in the first place, so that the three major factions are fighting endlessly today?" ”
Zhang Yuelu sighed and said: "This is not the original intention of Xuan Sheng, but the original Dao Sect was fragmented, and there were more than 20 branches and factions of various branches, which cannot be said to be more than infighting, but also many old grudges, such as our Zhang family and Li family." Xuan Sheng believed that under the circumstances at that time, it was difficult to completely integrate the entire Dao Sect into one place, and it could only be based on the distant relatives of each branch faction and the ancestral inheritance. It is divided into three major factions: Zhengyi, Quanzhen Dao, and Taiping Dao. ”
In addition, Xuansheng scattered some people, dividing the people who originally belonged to the Zhengyi into the Quanzhen Dao, the people of the Quanzhen Dao into the Taiping Dao, and the people of the Taiping Dao into the Zhengyi, so that between the three realms, you have me, and I have you, just like dividing the state borders, the dogs and teeth are intertwined, so that they cannot form an independent separation. Just like the Hanzhong Mansion in Shuzhou, whether it is customs or geography, it should belong to Shuzhou, but it was assigned to Qinzhou by the imperial court, because Hanzhong Mansion is the gateway to Shuzhou, preventing Shuzhou from forming a separatist trend. ”
"Xuansheng originally planned to gradually cancel the three paths, but in Xuansheng's later years, Buddhism rose, and Xuansheng's main energy was focused on dealing with Buddhism, so he could only put this matter aside for the time being, hoping that the future generations of the Great Palm Sect could solve the problem. For various reasons, the later masters have never been able to integrate the three realms together, and the three deputy masters are even more powerful, resulting in today's situation where the three realms are competing against each other. To this day, the Great Palm Sect Honorable Position has to be manipulated into the hands of the three Deputy Masters of the Great True Sect, and it is impossible to integrate the three realms. ”
Qi Xuansu suddenly said, "I see." ”
