Chapter Twenty-Three: The Secrets of the Ancients

The two rested for half an hour, and after a cup of tea, the relationship between the uncle and nephew was improved.

The opportunity cannot be missed, Zhang Xu humbly asked Xunyangzi a few doubts in his heart:

"Uncle Shi, do you know what the ghost you met last night was? Just possessing a Qi refining stage disciple has become so strange that it is difficult to resist even if a foundation building stage disciple encounters it. This is the first time the disciple has seen it, and he does not know how to take precautions in the future. ”

He remembered the ghost he had met last night, and felt that the situation was still extremely dangerous, so he inquired about it first.

"Xiang Ghost is just a common name for my generation of monks, and its essence is that of an ancient human ghost immortal. The location of this strange appearance is quite random, but most of them are confined to the vicinity of the ruins of the ancient Xiangguo Kingdom in the Western Regions. Those who appear at the foot of the Holy Land may not be accidental, but man-made...... After all, the Holy Land was attacked by the Demon Dao yesterday. ”

The gray-haired old man drank the tea in his hand and said slowly.

The young man listened carefully, and confirmed each other with the conjecture in his heart, that is, there was still something unclear, what the "vole" in the mouth of the ghost last night was.

However, he did not ask the latter question.

Savoring the sweet aftertaste of the tea, Xunyangzi smiled slightly and continued:

"If one of a person's essence, qi, and spirit has a deficit, then it is quite easy to become a person possessed by ghosts.

"People who are possessed by Xiang ghosts are generally not proficient in Taoism, but they can refine their physical bodies through some ancient methods, and in a few breaths, they will be transformed into a level comparable to that of Jindan stage monks.

"As for how to prevent it, that is to keep oneself one, as long as you don't lose your own spirit, you can't do anything about it."

Zhang Xu learned that the humane method possessed by the ghost was sparse and ordinary, and only the physical body was strong, so he had a certain number in his heart:

Next time, if you encounter a ghost again, if you really can't beat it, let's use the escape method to run away - stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood.

He added another seven points of tea to Xunyangzi's cup, and asked again:

"Uncle Shi, do you know why this world is so evil, and the Dao is so incomplete?"

The gray-haired old man glanced at the young man without a trace, this kid threw the two ancient secrets to the old man to explain.

Xunyangzi was not annoyed, picked up the teacup with his left hand, put it between his lips and blew it a few times, tasted it, and then slowly spoke:

"This evil thing has a great deal to do with all living beings.

"No cultivator can completely cut off passion, desire, and suffering, let alone living beings. The latter is even more mired in the red dust, fighting every day for hunger, for amusement, and for heirs...... Disturbed by such red dust things, they naturally resented evil things, and were affected by the aura of heaven and earth, and over time, they turned into evil spirits. ”

I see!

The emergence of evil is related to the various emotions generated by all things, including the human race, and it is no wonder that the disasters continue to this day.

Zhang Xu kept this information in mind, that is, as long as there are living creatures in this world, there will always be evil? In this way, I don't know if I can collect all the evils?

Perhaps, didn't Lingwa Niangniang want me to collect all the evil in the world? The inclusion of evil is just a homeopathic act in a certain plan of Lingwa Niangniang.

The gray-haired old man didn't know that the young man had solved a problem in his heart, but he gave birth to several problems, he paused, organized the answer to "why is the Dao Law incomplete", and continued:

"As for the fact that the Tao is mostly incomplete, the old Tao can't know the whole story. I only know that the ancient Dao method is powerful, pointing directly to the True Immortal Dao.

"Later, for some reason, the heavens and the earth changed drastically, the rules were usurped, and the ancient Dao Law became impossible to cultivate to the Jindan period!

"At that time, most of the monks above the foundation building period perished, and only a few geniuses possessed scattered martial arts thaumaturgy, and they were forced to disperse until the foundation building period within one day, so that they could survive...... It is known in history as the decline of the ancient immortals.

"The surviving people will build the foundation period of the exercises, after many generations of exploration, verification, and failure, and finally out of a different path of cultivation. This has allowed the Taoism to be passed down, but it is not quite the same as the Taoism of ancient times, a pity, a pity. ”

Xun Yangzi looked regretful, as if he sighed because it was difficult to find ancient swordsmanship:

"And in the Taiyi Age 5,800 years ago, the heavens and the earth changed drastically again, and the Dao Law was once again unable to cultivate, this time it was even worse than the decline of the ancient immortals, and only the Qi refining period cultivators were left alive! The history is known as the decline of Taiyi immortals.

"The cultivation realm has suffered such a great blow, and the only way to do it is to imitate the actions of our ancestors again and re-explore the exercises above the Qi refining period. As a result, the degree of incompleteness of the Dao is far beyond the imagination of our generation of monks.

"The remnants of ancient times, the legacy of Taiyi, and the current exercises, influencing, adulterating, and borrowing from each other, are naturally incomplete."

After saying so many words, even the gray-haired old Taoist was a Jindan monk, and his mouth was a little dry. He smacked his lips and drank down the tea he had just tasted.

Zhang Xu was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but think of the "Three Changes" he learned about when he was on Earth, and he also suffered a somewhat similar fate.

At the beginning, in order to broadcast live, he was able to blow to water friends easily, and searched a lot of history on the Internet that he didn't know whether it was true or false, among which he still remembered the description of "Three Easy".

The earliest Book of Changes is called "Lianshan Yi", which was written in the Xia Dynasty; The second edition of the Book of Changes, titled "Returning to Tibet", was written in the Shang Dynasty; The last edition, called the Book of Changes, was written during the Zhou Dynasty and has been passed down into the 21st century.

However, "Lianshan" and "Returning to Tibet" were lost in the Han Dynasty, leaving only a few words for future generations to see.

The cultivation of the true exercises in this world is even more twists and turns than the experience of "Three Changes"!

After all, there are so many monks who are so powerful that they are affected, or they are scattered, or they die......

Driving away the shock in his heart, the young man was on the ground:

"Today's uncle's kindness to solve doubts, the disciple will remember it, and he will repay it in the future!"

It was indeed a wise decision to get acquainted with Uncle Xunyoko by himself.

The person who is willing to inform himself of such an ancient secret, at present, in Zhang Xu's circle, it is estimated that only this gray-haired sword cultivator has told the truth.

"Haha, it doesn't matter, even if I don't tell you this kind of news, Lao Dao will also believe in you, and he will soon be able to learn from others."

The gray-haired old man waved his hand and motioned for Zhang Xu to get up and speak.

He is quite recognizable of the strength of the youth.

The two took advantage of the heat at noon to have a few more chats about tea.

In the afternoon, the rest of the inner disciples began to come to Xunyangzi to practice swords, and Zhang Xu also continued to cultivate his sword skills.

There were also five outer disciples who had received the internal affairs and came to sweep Xunyangzi's residence, and they diligently cleaned the yard.

The five of them seemed to know Xunyangzi's hobbies very well, and brought the Xuan tea that they were reluctant to drink on weekdays, made a small jar, and gave it all to their uncles.

In the end, they got half an hour of cram school for the cultivation points of the Qi refining period.

Monk Jindan's guidance on the cultivation of the Qi refining period was mostly to the point, which made the five outer disciples feel like an initiation.

Zhang Xu vaguely sensed that the realm of these five people was about ten layers in the Qi refining period, and they probably often came to find their uncle and ancestor for tutoring, and they should be able to build a foundation in this life.

He looked at Xunyoko, and only felt that the empty sleeve of his right hand made him feel like he was stuck in his throat.

After receiving the old man's kindness, the young man also wanted to repay it.
