Chapter 36: Cause and Effect
This is still the record he saw from a very niche and off-the-beaten-path Chinese medicine classic.
He thought that this was just a false insight made up by the ancient Jianghu Lang, after all, these ancient books are sometimes exaggerated, mixed with some fiction and unclear things to make them more mysterious.
Even in a Chinese medicine work such as the "Compendium of Materia Medica", some entries and records are outrageous.
Li Heng also has an attitude that he can't fully believe it, so the outrageous things recorded in a niche Chinese medicine book that is not a mainstream one, he just treats it as a small story.
Most of the so-called five poisons refer to snakes, scorpions, centipedes, geckos, and toads, which are five kinds of poisonous animals, although the gecko itself is not poisonous, but its excrement is toxic.
In addition, some traditional Chinese medicine practitioners explain that the five kinds of creatures of the five poisons are actually just imaginary fingers, and the real five poisons refer to the five organs of the human body corresponding to the yin wood, yin fire, yin earth, yin gold, and yin water, that is, the so-called anger, hatred, resentment, annoyance, and annoyance.
But no matter what, what Li Heng has seen with his own eyes now is the real five poisonous things, and he is gathered here!
No matter how you look at it, the word "five poisons" is not a good meaning, and it is often used to refer to people who have all kinds of vices and hobbies, as if there is no cure.
And what about the land of the five poisons?
This is not the so-called great evil, and the place where the five poisons are complete can also be called the land of the five elements.
To some extent, the five poisonous creatures are all overlords in their respective survival fields, relying on their respective talents to "poison the world", and they are often the upper reaches of the food chain.
Being able to possess the five poisons at the same time must also gather all the survival resources they need, and the time when the five poisons are born is often the most vigorous moment on the earth.
The burial ground of the beasts hidden between the mountains is the place where the "death" qi gathers, but it is precisely because of this place of death that a completely different but new vigorous "life" is derived, which is the natural principle of the cycle of life and death!
It is also the so-called convergence of the five elements, a place where yin and yang are balanced.
"It's not, it's true......"
If this is in the list of Taoist Danzang, it can be rated as a "small blessed land".
It's just that this kind of "blessed land" is estimated that most people will not be willing to come to practice, after all, it is formed by the bones accumulated over countless years, and the living conditions here are still so much worse.
However, this was a surprise for Li Heng!
Snortโ
He directly tore off part of his shirt and wrapped it in his hand, and a smile of joy appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The big black and red centipede, which was enjoying the delicious meal of insect meat, suddenly felt its body float, and then its whole worm was grabbed and flew into the sky, hundreds of pairs of big feet waved desperately, and the terrifying body nearly a foot long writhed wildly, but it seemed insignificant under the force that clamped it.
Of course, it was not the only one, and soon several other "colleagues" who were dining also followed in its footsteps.
The black-veined pit viper was about to swallow the body of the lizard whole, but it was caught by a big hand, and the huge force pinched the snake, and the lizard in its mouth was also pinched and spit out, it was so angry and frightened that it bent the snake body to turn back and give the guy who suddenly appeared, but the other party's movements were faster than its snake raising its head, and the two fingers instantly pinched the upper and lower jaws and couldn't open their mouths.
The rest of the flower-faced geckos, black-armored poisonous scorpions, and golden-backed toads all had the same fate, and they were captured one by one by Cheng Yanjin, who was killed halfway.
As strong as the five poisons, they used to poison and hunt other creatures at will, but now they are all powerless and struggling in Li Heng's hands, they are just five small and insignificant little animals.
Li Heng grabbed these five guys with a calm face, but if outsiders saw it, he would only be frightened by this terrifying scene.
"These five guys should be the best of their respective clans, or even the heads of their clans, and only after they have eaten their food, can other members enter"
"That's why it can grow so huge, and each one is an extremely rare superb!"
Li Heng, who is familiar with traditional Chinese medicine, looked at these five guys with his eyes shining, as if he was looking at five stripped beauties.
Not to mention anything else, just take out this nearly one-foot-long hundred-legged insect with a black and red body and a bright body, and show it to those medicine and wine merchants who know the goods, it is estimated that they will all have green eyes and scramble to buy it one by one, and they can casually offer more than tens of thousands.
Several others are similar, even if they are not used in medicine, they are sold to some biological laboratories as rare individuals at a high price.
Li Heng happily carried these five big treasures with open hands, like Lu Ti Ha, who had just chopped ten catties of meat in the vegetable field, and walked out of the cave with a happy face.
Of course, the biggest takeaway today is not the five big guys.
Li Heng was most happy in his heart to be the cave itself, the place where the five elements and yin and yang converged that had been cultivated by countless creatures for thousands of years.
"I can feel that it won't be long before I can use this place, and this environment where the five qi are easy to balance life and death is too suitable for my physique. If what I expected is correct, I may find an opportunity here for the perfect regulation of the five-level system, and from now on we will get rid of the dependence on energy-efficient substances! โ
There is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village.
Li Heng returned to the place where the old cow was sleeping again, and it was still quietly "sleeping" in the white bones.
Li Heng bowed sincerely towards the prone cow body, which was his heartfelt gratitude to this "old friend" many years ago for guiding him to find this blessed place.
"I seem to have some understanding of what Buddhism says about cause and effect and chance."
There was a look of realization in his eyes, and he suddenly remembered again what he had done when he was young, and the old cow had left a scar that could not be erased for a lifetime.
But he also felt guilty about it, and applied medicine to it in the cowshed to heal his wounds, and this little cause and effect was like this.
Years later, the search for the extraordinary answer in the heart is reunited again, and in that brief moment, because of a moment of compassion, it makes a seemingly useless move, preserving the last of its life.
Under its leadership, he found this place and learned the secrets of the land of all five poisons.
Under the nesting of various coincidences, this causal cycle spanning more than ten years has been achieved.
Li Heng chuckled and shook his head again.
"The principle of cause and effect is also not a strange force, I cannot mystify it into a conspiracy, it should be a superior way, which is not only the miraculous subtlety of the natural promotion of external objects, but also the ideal reflection of the indomitable and unyielding spirit of the soul."
A confident smile appeared on Li Heng's face, and he strode towards the outside of the cave.
This heart is unfettered, and the transcendent is only in the balance of the heart.
