Chapter 3 The Forbidden Place

Chen Heng tidied up his clothes, walked to the door and opened the door.

Outside the door, seeing that Chen Heng finally came out, a Taoist who was carrying the piano behind his back breathed a long sigh of relief, and the anxious look on his face eased slightly.

"I heard that as soon as my junior brother came out of the water prison, he received an edict to go to the abyss, is it true or false?"

"It's true."

"How-"

The person who called himself Xu Zhi was in a hurry, and when he saw the red rope exposed on Chen Heng's wrist, he subconsciously reached out to tear it off, but he only stretched out his hand halfway before he remembered Chen Heng's cold and lonely temperament in the past.

The movement froze suddenly, neither advancing nor retreating.

"That, I'm ......"

"Senior Brother Lao specially came to mention it, if it's not too simple, please come in and talk about it."

Chen Heng smiled slightly, bowed his hand, and his expression was unusual.

"Oh, good, good to say......"

Xu Zhi's fright at this time seemed to be greater than Fang Cai, he glanced at Chen Heng cautiously, and undoubtedly pinched himself, but he still suspected that he had not woken up in his dream.

Seeing that Chen Heng's expression was always indifferent, Xu Zhi shrank his neck and tiptoed in.

The two sat down as guests, and after Chen Heng took the initiative to start talking and talked a few words, Xu Zhi's appearance like a ghost in the day was a little restrained, and a smile appeared on his face.

"After going through life and death, I didn't expect my brother to have such a change, great kindness, congratulations! I've wanted to tell you a long time ago, this kind of depression is not only not beneficial to health preservation, but also hinders cultivation. ”

Xu Zhi raised the teacup on the case: "Seeing you like this, I am also relieved." ”

Chen Heng glanced at it.

On the opposite side, the Taoist priest named Xu Zhi has a handsome demeanor and an extraordinary appearance, which makes it difficult for people to feel bad, but it is a pity that there is always a bit of hesitation in the expression of Meiyu, which makes the whole person a little timid out of thin air.

Chen Heng thought about it, and then found out the origin of Xu Zhi and his predecessor from his memory.

This person was originally outstanding among the many disciples of the Xuanzhen School, proficient in the techniques of Danding and Huang Lao, and the pharmacopoeia compiled by him was also all the rage in the countries below the mountain, and he also had excellent swordsmanship, which was almost the limit of ordinary skills.

And because of this.

He was accepted as a personal disciple by Gu Jundao, one of the three elders in the sect, to pass on the classics, and for a time he had a bright future.

However, the good times did not last long, and on the way to kill the demon, he somehow made a mistake and missed, and the meridians of his right hand were disabled, and he could no longer hold the sword.

And Gu Jundao was also inexplicably furious, expelled him from the door wall, and smashed the Dan furnace that he personally gave him, and humiliated him fiercely.

At that time, Chen Heng's predecessor had been brought to the Xuanzhen School by Yan Zhen.

There are Taoist priests who want to cling to him, and they talk about Xu Zhi as a joke to make him happy.

Chen Heng also learned that Xu Zhi was afraid to move forward on the way to kill the demon, not only several Xuanzhen sect disciples died, but even the only son of his master Gu Jundao also fell into the hands of the big demon.

After this incident, Xu Zhi's mood was unstable, not only did he not achieve anything in Qi cultivation, but even the Danshu was abandoned.

Many Taoists who were jealous of him in the past came to fall into the well, as if they were beating a water dog.

Out of inexplicable sympathy, after the completion of the Leshan House, the predecessor made Xu Zhi a member of the musicians.

Because of this move, those Taoist priests who mocked Xu Zhi were jealous, and in the end they could only disperse as birds and beasts.

The predecessor didn't take this matter seriously, and he couldn't even remember what Xu Zhi looked like, but he didn't expect that in this situation, he was the first to visit him.

"This Senior Brother Xu is a person who can be friends."

Chen Heng thought to himself.

"However, Senior Brother Rong, I dare to offend, this matter of the abyss-"

Xu Zhi put down the teacup and was about to persuade, but was interrupted by Chen Heng shaking his head.

"Diyuan, I have to go, senior brother, please don't say more."

"You have also read through the book of the Tao, don't you know that the abyss leads to the Netherworld Yellow Spring, which is deep and dark, and I don't know how many demons and demons have been suppressed?

In the ancient era, even the corpse immortal who came from outside the sky fell into the abyss, and Dongmizhou rained blood for five days for this! ”

Xu Zhizhi was anxious:

"The sect issued an edict asking the disciples to go to the abyss to collect Yin Horse and Human Face Zhi, and although the rewards given were rich, they had to be exchanged for their lives! If you die in the abyss of the earth, and you can't even ask for rebirth, and you want to be tormented there for eternity, isn't this just what Elder Yan and Yan Ping wanted? ”

The abyss is a road that connects to the Netherworld Yellow Spring under the East Mizhou.

Not only Dongmi, but also in the other eight states, there are also abysses.

Although this place is a burial ground, a treacherous place, and a rare place to exterminate yin, it is also pregnant with a lot of cultivation resources.

Such as the yin horse and the human face Zhi.

The former can be used as a big medicine in the first "Dragon and Tiger Furnace Ding" in the casting of Dongxuan.

The latter is ground into incense, and it can temporarily break through the confusion of the heavenly demons and chaos, and keep the spiritual platform clear.

This is only the outer medicine of the shallow layers of the abyss, and as for the properties of the more subtle and dark places, there is no need to say more.

When Chen Heng was still in the water prison, the Taoist priest of the torture room mentioned this matter intentionally or unintentionally.

Although he knew that there was fraud, he still secretly wrote down the matter at that time, and when the trap was removed, he went to the ministry room to receive the edict.

He went to the abyss.

Not only for the reward, but also, in order to be able to live for oneself -

"Xu Yi's cold fighting is really fierce, if I can't find the Yang medicine to suppress the body, I will die if I can't pass half a month."

Chen Heng looked at Xu Zhi and said lightly:

"But I don't have any goods on me to buy big medicines. When Yan Zhen was alive, I didn't take any of her things, and after she died, as you can see, Le Shanfang was confiscated by the sect, and I, Le Zheng and my musicians, have become ordinary Taoists. ”

"However, in the sect, as long as you receive the edict to go to the abyss, everyone can have two bottles of Xiaobaiyang Pill and eight hundred runes before leaving. Fu Qian aside, with those two bottles of pills, I can at least suppress the cold fighting Zhenqi on my body for half a year, Senior Brother Xu, if I want to live, I can only do this. ”

……

In fact.

Chen Heng still has a reason that he hasn't said.

The edict of the earth abyss is the edict of the master of the Xuanzhen faction, and it is also his intention to seek the Yin Horse and the Human Face Zhi.

In front of this high-level master who is only one step away from Jindan, even if he is as reckless as Yan Feichen, he can only bow down and obey orders.

Receiving the edict of the abyss means that before going to the abyss, at least on the surface, Yan Feichen cannot make a move against him.

Otherwise, it would be to refute the face of this great refiner and deliberately try to please him.

Therefore, although he knew that the Taoist in the torture room in the water prison deliberately said it to him, Chen Heng had no choice but to do so.

"This, this ......"

Xu Zhi opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but finally sat down, and finally closed his eyes and sighed.

"After all, my junior brother is kind to me, do you want me to watch you die like this?" He said.

"It's okay, after entering the abyss, I will secretly find a secluded place to refine the Little White Yang Pill, and I won't fight for those foreign medicines."

Chen Heng lowered his eyes and smiled: "I'm not the autopsy immortal in the ancient books, I have to go to the depths of the Netherworld Yellow Spring to seek death." ”

Seeing that Chen Heng's mind had been decided.

Xu Zhi was stunned, and then sighed and took out two volumes from his arms.

"This is a book of swordsmanship, a book of medicine, senior brother, I have no long things, there are only these two." Xu Zhi explained: "Swordsmanship is my Xu family's family tradition, although it is a mortal skill, but it is also quite interesting, as for the medical book, ......"

When he said this, Xu Zhi sneered: "The medical book is a little bit of my experience and understanding senior brother, so you can take it to relieve your boredom." ”

Seeing Chen Heng give up his hand and thank him, Xu Zhicai's expression was relieved, and not long after, when he was about to say goodbye and leave, a thought suddenly popped up in Chen Heng's heart.

"Senior brother, please stay respectful, I still have something to ask."

Chen Heng called him: "Senior brother, how did you get the fetal breath in the first place?" In addition to the method of enlightenment and blessing to the soul, is there any other method? I read that there is a sentence in the Taoist book that 'death and life are fearful, and the gods are self-satisfied', but between life and death, can we realize the sense of fetal breath? ”

"Yes...... There is also a saying about it, but this method is too urgent and dangerous. ”

Xu Zhi, who had already turned around, paused when he heard this, thought about it, and then said:

"Such as fire, stone strikes, thunder, flooding, etc., in fact, can be regarded as the method of obtaining fetal breath through life and death, you must know that fetal breath is the true yang of the human body, the more the fetus is born, the more it can retain this sense of qi.

To obtain the breath of the womb through life and death, it is nothing more than a terrifying and intimidating spirit, forcing oneself to enter the state of chaos and mystery like a baby in the mother's womb, and then it is convenient to obtain that sense of qi. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Zhi persuaded again: "This is too risky, junior brother, just listen to it, but don't defy the law." ”

"I see."

Chen Heng's face was lowered, and his left hand gently rubbed the golden cicada, and his heart was certain.

"Sure enough, it seems that I guessed correctly."

A few steps away from him, Xu Zhi seemed to ignore the golden cicada.

Regarding this, Chen Heng has already verified it in others.

Except for himself, there seems to be no second person in this life who can see and touch this jade carving.

Otherwise, when the Taoist priest in the torture room asked for bribes, he would not be able to protect the golden cicada at all.

"Heng still has some doubts in the Taoist book, I don't know, can Senior Brother please answer one or two for me?"

Without thinking about it anymore, Chen Heng stretched to the ground and saluted Xu Zhi solemnly.

The predecessor was not good.

Although I read some Taoist books in the years when I was a canary, I didn't seek to understand anything, and I didn't know anything about the scriptures.

But Xu Zhi is different.

He was once a genius disciple of the Xuanzhen Sect, his swordsmanship and medical skills were extraordinary, and he had practiced with Gu Jundao, one of the three elders, for a period of time.

The ranking of the immortal road in this world is clear, and it is divided into fetal breath, Lian Qi, Zhuji, Zifu, Dongxuan, and Jindan......

As for the various things after Jindan, don't mention it.

After the fetal breath, Lian Qi has a total of nine times, which is also called Lian Qi Nine Returns.

As for the nine returns, in the Zhuji, Zifu, and Dongxuan realms, each has a triple realm, until the Jindan Fang rests.

Although Xu Zhi later gave up on himself and abandoned the way of practicing Qi, after all, he was also a Taoist who achieved fetal breath and cultivated to the sixfold realm of practicing Qi.

Some difficult questions may not be answered.

But with Chen Heng's current knowledge, he can't ask these questions anyway.

If it is said to solve doubts, at the moment, there is no more suitable for Chen Heng than Xu Zhi.

"Good...... Say. ”

Xu Zhi was taken aback again, he had never seen Chen Heng look so good, and he was surprised enough today.

"I don't know what the junior brother wants to ask?"

He looked at the young man who was as handsome as a god, and carefully considered:

"After all, I'm just a six-fold Qi practitioner, some people don't understand, don't be surprised."

"How dare you, how dare you, I want to ask my senior brother, this wild fowl has horns, and there is an omen of the 'same book' in the divination that the enemy is coming, but if it is placed in the meridians of the human body, what should be done?" Chen Heng was overjoyed and hurriedly asked for advice.

Xu Zhi frowned and thought for a while before he slowly spoke.

……

……

Until the middle of the moon.

Chen Hengcai sent Xu Zhi out of the cave, this time the question can be said to be a lot of gains, in addition to those doubts that were stored in his heart when he was in the water prison, he also intentionally or unintentionally asked the Xuanzhen School of practicing Qi method.

only to learn.

The method of refining high-level true qi is rare in the entire Great East Mizhou, and it is only stored in the hands of those big sects.

Don't say that once you see it, it's hard to even hear it.

"However, things are man-made, who knows what will happen in the future?"

Closing the door of the mansion, Chen Heng breathed a long sigh of relief, only to feel that the fog in front of him had dispersed, and the sky was wide, and he couldn't help but laugh with his palms:

"Death and life are fearful, and the gods are self-satisfied...... I see, so it is, so it is! With the golden cicada in my hand, from now on, I will have no obstacle in the realm of fetal breath! ”

He lit the lamp and candle, sat down in front of the desk again, and wrote down his thoughts on a piece of paper.

……

Two days later.

A clear sound resounded throughout the entire Xiaogan Mountain, and all the Xuanzhen Daoists were alarmed by the sound of this jade rock and golden bell, and walked out of the cave.

"I've been waiting for so long, and it's finally here."

Holding the red rope on his wrist that suddenly began to heat with Zhong Ming, Chen Heng smiled, lifted the hem of his robe, and also walked out of the door.
