Chapter 9: The Righteous Collection of the Tao (II)
"However, since even crossing can exist, why can't there be monsters?" Thinking of this, Lin Junxuan's heart settled down, whether the old man was a demon or not There is no need to pursue it, one thing is certain, this old man is by no means an ordinary fortune teller.
"Child, aren't you afraid?" Seeing the calm expression on Lin Junxuan's face, the old man couldn't help but feel strange in his heart, this was an expression that a four-year-old child should not have.
"Don't be afraid," Lin Junxuan looked directly into the old man's eyes, his expression calm and calm.
The old man stared into the eyes of the four-year-old child beside him, and in those eyes, he really didn't see a trace of fear.
"Why aren't you afraid?" the old man's heart was full of surprise.
"Will you hurt me?" Lin Junxuan asked suddenly, the old man shook his head, still looking at him with a strange look.
"Since you won't harm me, why should I be afraid? Besides, what's the use of being afraid?" Lin Junxuan asked rhetorically.
"What's the use of being afraid?" said the old man laughing, and he nodded, "What a strange child you are!βit's really hard to think of you as a four-year-old." β
Lin Junxuan just smiled and didn't say anything. Although the old man in front of him would not hurt him, he would not tell him that he was from another world.
Lin Junxuan didn't want to dwell on this issue, so he directly explained his intentions: "It's snowing at night, the weather is very cold, my teacher asked me to invite you to the school hall to escape the cold." Since the old man is not an ordinary human being, he naturally will not be afraid of wind and snow like ordinary humans, when Lin Junxuan said this, he did not expect the old man to agree to himself, after all, he had already refused once. It's just that since the teacher has instructions, he still needs to do it.
"It's snowing?......" The old man seemed to be discovering this fact now, his gaze swept over Lin Junxuan's shoulder, and he looked outside the temple gate, where the wind and snow were boundless, and they had already been connected.
"It's another year!" Looking at the vast wind and snow outside, the old man sighed, his face showing incomparable melancholy and loneliness.
Lin Junxuan didn't understand why this ordinary heavy snow had so much meaning in the eyes of the old man, so he just looked at the old man quietly.
The old man stared at the heavy snow outside the temple gate in a daze, and it took a long time to come back to his senses. He stretched out his hand and searched in his arms for a while, and finally took out an antique scroll and handed it to Lin Junxuan: "This is for you, this is a gift I gave you before leaving." β
Lin Junxuan subconsciously took the scroll, only to see that on the cover of the ancient book, there were four simple words written on the cover of the ancient book, 'Taoism is hidden'!
"This volume of "Dao Fa Zhengzang" was inadvertently found in a deep mountain ancient cave in my long life, I am a demon and cannot practice the peerless ...... of your human race" The old man suddenly stopped and said with a smile: "Are you still suspicious?"
Before Lin Junxuan could react to what was going on, he was grabbed by a dry palm stretched out by the old man, his eyes darkened, and the next moment, Lin Junxuan found that he was suddenly floating in the air.
The vast wind and snow fell from his side, and under his feet, Lin'an City, covered with a layer of snow, lay quietly in the wind and snow. Lin Junxuan could hardly believe his eyes.
"See, this is Lin'an City! This world is not only human beings," the old man said indifferently: "There are also demons!"
The next moment, Lin Junxuan returned to the City God Temple. The beggars still didn't move, the old man and Lin Junxuan were still sitting in their original positions, if it weren't for the layer of snow on their shoulders, Lin Junxuan really thought that it was his hallucination just now.
After taking Lin Junxuan into the air, the old man looked a little weak: "Child, although you are only more than four years old, I have never regarded you as an ordinary child. This volume of "The Righteous Collection of the Dao Law" is a mastery of the Dao Sect, and once you practice it, you will definitely have the same ability as I just did. However, this is not the purpose of my book to you. β
"The Dao Dharma Zhengzang is a magical secret book, but for you, it is not only a magical secret book, but also a door, a door to different worlds. Once you step through this door, there is no possibility of backsliding. I can't tell you much about the world behind this door. I can only tell you from my own experience -- there are disputes in the world of ordinary people, and in the world behind this door, disputes are still above ordinary human beings! This kind of conflict can lead to any result you can't imagine!"
Lin Junxuan held the ancient scroll and was silent in thought. The old man's words had already hinted enough that if he practiced the things on this ancient scroll, he would have the ability to fly to the heavens and the earth, and these abilities should only exist in mythology for him.
Lin Junxuan didn't think about it for long, so he made a decision: "I want to practice this volume of "Dao Fa Zhengzang". β
"Have you really figured it out, and you don't regret it!"
"Hmm!" Lin Junxuan's answer was simple and firm.
The old man sighed and said, "This is your choice, and you can't complain about others in the future." Let me first tell you about the realm of cultivation. β
"The path of cultivation is divided into 'building a foundation, receiving qi, Jindan, dragon and tiger, celestial, swallowing qi, beheading corpses, immortals, and eight realms. Among them, as for the foundation building refers to the process of extracting blood essence from the blood; and receiving qi is the process of attracting the aura between heaven and earth to nourish the blood essence and make the blood essence strong, and the blood essence at this time is called 'essence'; the essence is full and turns into a pill, which is called the 'Jindan period', in which the Jindan period is divided into nine layers, each layer is called 'one turn' called 'one product', and the 'nine pins of Jindan' is the most beautiful Jindan, and only the nine turns of the Jindan can continue to practice; and when the 'dragon and tiger' stage is reached, the yang and yin in the body converge, and the nine-grade Jindan will be turned intoAs for the realm of 'celestial beings', it is a process of 'refining qi and transforming gods', at this time, the 'purple qi' in the body will be transformed into the flower-like brilliance on the top of the head, and the celestial and human period is divided into two levels, which are 'one flower gathering top' and 'two flowers gathering at the top'. The 'celestials' who have reached this realm all have great abilities that ordinary people can hardly imagine, and their lifespan will be very long, but they will still die, and only by reaching the immortal realm of 'Three Flowers Gathering Peaks and Five Qi Dynasty Yuan' can they be immortal and immortal, and have an infinite and long life!"
"Child, cultivation is a long process, most people stop when they practice to the 'Jindan Period', and now the heads of most sects and Taoist sects have reached the realm of 'Heavenly People' at most. As for the realm of 'immortals', so far, in my tens of thousands of years of life, I have never heard of anyone who has reached this realm!"
Lin Junxuan's mind was completely immersed in the world described by the old man, this world of cultivation that jumped out of the vision of ordinary people, was full of infinite attraction to him.
Somehow, in Lin Junxuan's mind, he suddenly remembered the myths and legends he had learned before crossing over. "It turns out that myths are not fake!" the thought crossed his mind.
"Child, I don't have much time left, come, I'll teach you the kung fu of building a foundation first!" The old man sat down cross-legged, and his expression was solemn: "Learn from me to sit cross-legged, imagine the blood of your whole body flowing like a vortex in the belly button of the abdomen, when you feel a little hot feeling here, it seems that a small drop of blood is coagulated, then you have succeeded." This process is called foundation building. Regardless of whether it is a demon or a human sin, the process is the same. β
Lin Junxuan still did so, imagining that his blood formed a vortex at the navel, this process was a little weird, and after half an hour, Lin Junxuan stopped imagining, he still didn't feel a small drop of blood coagulated under his abdomen.
"I can't find that feeling!" opened his eyes, Lin Junxuan said.
The old man was not surprised at all: "Just as not all non-human beings can incarnate into demons, not all people can cultivate. In this, there is also a difference in qualifications. People with good qualifications will feel some small droplets under the belly button in three to five days. People with poor qualifications, about thirty days, will also have this feeling. There is also a category of people who will not feel it no matter how long they have been cultivating, and this kind of person is not suitable for cultivating! With your qualifications, you will feel it in ten days at the latest!"
"Blood essence is the most essential part of the biological body, the blood in the body of ordinary people can refine up to three to four drops of blood essence, and our demon clan can refine eight to ten drops of blood essence! This blood essence is the origin of everything! And it can only be refined through the vicinity of the umbilical cord. It will take three days for the person with the best blood essence qualifications for the first drop!" The old man said this, and turned his head to look at Lin Junxuan: "After refining the blood essence, at the beginning, you can only obtain the spiritual energy from the food to strengthen the blood essence, and the blood essence is stable, and then you can absorb the spiritual energy from the heaven and earth and strengthen the blood essence!"
Lin Junxuan listened quietly, knowing that what the old man said was very important, and he didn't dare to miss a word.
"I'm a demon, you're human. There is a difference between humans and demons, although I have a supernatural power, but it is not suitable for you, the only thing that can pass on to you is this volume of "Dao Fa Zhengzang". The method of building the foundation, whether it is a human or a demon, is the same, as for the later cultivation methods, it is recorded in the "Dao Fa Zhengzang", after you go back, study it carefully. If there is anything you don't understand, come to me every morning or noon, and I will answer it for you!"
"Old man, are you leaving!" From the old man's tone, Lin Junxuan felt a hint of parting.
The old man raised his head and looked at the depths of the darkness outside the door: "My life has come to an end, I have been a demon all my life, and I was ignorant, until I changed my human form, and I only got my surname." I am a demon, proud of the world, it is difficult to match! I have been pursuing power all my life, and it is not until my longevity is approaching that I begin to pay attention to some things that I usually ignore. We demon clans have always been ruthless, and it is enough for me to feel the kind of feelings between ordinary humans before I die!"
"Old man, don't you have supreme supernatural powers, how can you die?"
The old man shook his head: "The way of heaven is ruthless, and it can't reach the realm of immortal and immortal 'immortals', even if you have great magical powers, you can't escape death!
"Child," the old man looked down at Lin Junxuan: "If I had met you earlier, I would have had time to teach you and make you a master of the world, but now, I am getting weaker and weaker, and my ability has almost deteriorated." I don't have much time left, and I only wake up at noon and evening during the day, and the rest of the day, I'm delirious. β
Lin Junxuan's eyes showed a touch of sadness: "Old man, your current situation is the five decays of heaven and man?"
"Yes," the old man nodded: "All cultivators, if they are not killed in the sect strife, will eventually come to this point! If you have not crossed the realm of heaven and man, it is the 'Little Five Decays', and if you have crossed the 'realm of heaven and man', it is the 'Five Decays of Heaven and Man!, you don't have to pity me, I can naturally go to the end of my life, and I have surpassed the vast majority of cultivators!";
