Chapter 115: Taiyin Refining Form
My question made the gray master frown and think for a long time before he said: "In ancient times, there was the prince of the east, and the queen mother of the west was a Taoist god, and they were all legendary characters. In the early years, the royal family and nobles would also call themselves princes, and this has been traced back a lot, and I don't know if the prince you are talking about is a name or a personal name. ”
I talked to it for a long time, and I didn't talk about why, but anyway, I decided to take the bone sword with me.
I have very poor skills, and my identity is special, the ghost card of the ancestor and the legendary treasure of the purest and most yang are in my body, and it is inevitable that I will encounter such things in the future.
Two days later, my body recovered a lot, I insisted on being discharged from the hospital, and returned to Yitang Village with Gray Ye again, and entered the cave again.
One is to see Huang Erye and Lao Chang again, and the other is to take away the bone sword.
In the passage to the cave, we saw Sun Guanghe, who had been dead for a long time, staring, stretching out his hand, curling one leg, he should have been crawling out when he died, his body was stiff, and his face was full of corpse spots.
Further inside, I saw Huang Erye and Lao Chang, Huang Erye was still the same as before, his expression was peaceful, his eyes were slightly closed, and he was already settled.
Lao Chang was coiled up in a ball, curled up beside Huang Erye, and the wounds on his body were still oozing blood.
I poured all the anti-inflammatory and hemostatic drugs I brought from the hospital on the old wound and applied it evenly. Probably feeling the pain, it opened its eyes, and when it saw clearly that it was me and the gray master, it said a little embarrassedly: "I can't transform my human form into this ugly appearance, I'm afraid I'm going to scare the little brother again." ”
Its words reminded me of the first time we met, when I refused to let it into the house because I was afraid, and I couldn't help but have a sour nose and said, "What do you say? Are you still thinking about what I said when I was a child, and you will be thinking about me for the rest of your life? ”
Chang Hehe laughed a few times, this is the first time I have heard it laugh, it is not good at words, probably using this laugh to express friendship with me.
Gray Ye interjected at the right time: "Lao Chang, the pure yin qi in this cave is particularly strong, you and the second master are here to recuperate, and it will be cultivated back in a few years, this time I will not compete with you for this treasure land, I want to go to Jinyi with my little brother to play, it can be regarded as traveling through the world and turning back, you must go to us." ”
Lao Chang agreed, then curled up again, prostrate on the ground and closed his eyes.
He walked a little further, came to a clearing, found the bone sword, and grasped it in his hand. The moment I started, I suddenly felt that my whole person's momentum was different.
Beside him, there was a shriveled corpse kneeling, and only the long hair could still make me vaguely distinguish that this was the ancestor of the Sun family.
Looking at his corpse, I felt that his death was accidental or inevitable?
If the bone sword failed to kill him, could a thousand years of darkness really be exchanged for his eternal existence?
Or, is there a pair of invisible giant hands in the underworld, dominating the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and a pair of eyes that we can't see, watching his deliberate efforts, but at the most critical moment, strangling him?
Found the bone sword, we went out of the hole, in order not to let the world disturb Huang Erye's cultivation, after coming out, the gray master laid out a small formation and sealed the entrance of the cave.
After that, I left Yitang Village with Gray Ye and got on the bus back to Jinyi.
Is this separation the final one? Will I ever return to the place where I was born and raised?
A faint sense of nostalgia lingers in my heart.
Thinking about it carefully, this time I came back, it was only half a month, and so many things happened in these short fifteen days.
I have experienced life and death, obtained the bone sword, solved many mysteries, and gave birth to many mysteries.
However, after one stubble after another, I firmly believe that one day all the mysteries will be solved.
The journey was lonely, so I told the gray master about the Taiyin refining method.
I asked it, "Is the Taiyin Refining Method an evil art or a Taoist secret?" Xu Ye said, there is really such a legend in the history of Taoism, I don't know if anyone has refined it? ”
The gray master smiled and said: "Although I am a demon, I am dedicated to cultivating the way of people, and I have also read a lot of Taoist books left by my ancestors. The method of refining the form of Taiyin is indeed recorded in many Taoist classics, such as "Taiping Guangji", "Jixian Lu", ......"
Hearing it say this, I vaguely remembered such a passage: Taoism says that the deceased is refined in the land of pure yin, and the corpse is buried for hundreds of years, and the claws and hair are long, lifelike, and the art of enlightenment over time.
Taiyin refining is the highest level of the way to become an immortal. People die and are buried in the land of Taiyin, the flesh is scattered and the blood is gray and rotten, and the five internal organs are self-generated, the bones are like jade, the seven spirits are cherry blossoms, and the three souls are corpse keepers, and the flesh and blood are regenerated for a hundred years, and the reformation will be better than the appearance of the undead in the past, this name refining ......
This passage is so obscure that I only roughly remember it, but I don't understand the meaning.
So I asked the gray master again: "Are there any successful examples?" ”
The gray master stroked his beard again and said, "It is said that during the Sui Dynasty, there was a Taoist named Zhou Yinyao in Dongting Mountain, and he would be too yin to refine the form. In his later years, he instructed his disciples to bury him in the stone cave under the root of the north mountain of Dongting Mountain. And let them go and examine his corpse if they are fine, and don't let the wild beasts eat it, and then give him clothes after a hundred years. ”
"Is it really successful?" I couldn't help but be curious.
The place he was talking about was a place of pure yin and no yang, and it was definitely not a good yin house. But the master's order could not be disobeyed, and after he died, his apprentices buried him there and visited him every once in a while. ”
"At the beginning, Yin Yao's corpse this week was no different from an ordinary corpse, and it decomposed within a few days. But after a few days, his apprentice found that although the skin and flesh on his master's body were rotten, his internal organs had never changed, and after a long time, his heart began to beat. ”
The disciple was overjoyed, and he guarded it for a hundred years, until he was born with white bones and muscles, and he came back to life. At this time, he completely lost Long Zhong's old age, but he looked like a young man in his thirties. ”
The gray master stopped at this point.
"And then?" I waited for a while, but I didn't see him speak, and I couldn't help asking, "Yin Yao died this week?" Or is it forever? ”
Gray Ye shook his head: "As for what happened later, I don't know. ”
I muttered, "In this way, the Taiyin Refining Form Method can indeed bring people back to life from the dead. But Zhou Yinyao only used a hundred years and did not molt, why did the ancestor of the Sun family say that he would molt nine times, and he would use the Zhiyang treasure to assist? ”
"What this old ghost of the Sun family is cultivating is an evil art, and it is not an authentic Taiyin refining method at all." The gray master covers the coffin.
This gray master is worthy of being an old goblin who has cultivated for thousands of years, and he has a deep insight into Taoism.
