The Third Dao Hall Chapter 42 The Clue of the Stone Tablet and the Law of the Underworld
Lu finally was silent, and poured a big sip of wine again, there was an indescribable feeling in his heart, and he returned here again, things are not people, everything back then is long gone, time turns, life is endless, a flower withers and a flower blooms!
Seeing Mo Lao answer like this, Lu Zhong couldn't ask for any useful information for a while, and then he remembered that he had never cared about Mo Lao's body, and always thought that he was the same, although Mo Lao showed the same appearance from beginning to end, but it didn't mean that he was immortal, he was young and ignorant, and he didn't care about this matter at all.
Up to now, he didn't know anything about Mo Lao's situation, Lu Zhongzheng was secretly annoyed, and secretly decided to find out the reason why Mo Lao became like this, so that he could change back to what he was back then.
Suddenly, Erli said, "Lu boy, your elder's reaction is very similar to the sequelae of practicing a certain kind of exercise, does that exercise seem to be called Supreme Gong or Taishang Gong?"
Lu Zhong's heart was cold, Erli generally doesn't joke about serious things, that is to say, what Erli said is likely to be the truth, even if it is not, it should be not far away, Lu Zhong observed Mo Lao quietly, only to see that he looked indifferent, without a trace of expression, quietly looking at the sky shrouded in fog, I don't know what he was looking at, the whole person is like a dead thing, Lu Zhong did not feel the vitality that should be in Mo Lao.
Mo Lao found that Lu Zhong was looking at him, turned his head to look at Lu Zhong without a trace of emotion, and said coldly: "What's wrong?"
Lu Zhong was stunned, his heart seemed to have missed half a beat, although he knew that Mo Lao was calculating a normal reaction, Lu Zhong was still not used to it, and said a little unnaturally: "Oh, Grandpa Mo, you have been here for so many years, is there a record of the method that can condense the flesh in the classics in this scripture pavilion?"
When Mo Lao heard this, he pondered for a moment, and said flatly: "I have read most of the classics in the pavilion, there is a way to condense the flesh, but there are also great drawbacks, if you want to see it, in the third layer of the seventy-ninth box, the fifth layer of the forty-sixth, the three hundred and fifty-fourth box, the sixth layer of the fourteenth scroll, these boxes and scrolls have records of how to condense the body, but the pros and cons, you can read it yourself and then make a decision." ”
Mo Lao casually said where Lu Zhong needed the news, which was tantamount to greatly reducing the time Lu Zhong spent looking for it.
"Thank you Grandpa Mo!" Lu Zhong got up and thanked him, and said again after a two-second silence: "Grandpa Mo, then I'll go and see those classics first, I will be here during this time, and I will accompany you here." ”
"Hmph, who is rare, go and do your own errands, don't be an eyesore here. Mo Lao's voice was still indifferent, but in his heart, he very much hoped that Lu Zhong would stay here to accompany him. After Lu finally came, there was more life here, and Mo Lao looked at the unchanging layer of fog outside as if he were looking at the most beautiful scenery.
"Hehe, okay, let's go upstairs" Lu Zhong smiled, although Mo Lao's tone was cold, but the deep meaning, this time Lu finally heard it.
Lu Zhong was the first to go upstairs, and Erli followed, before going upstairs, Erli turned to look at the withered old man who was still sitting at the door, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he followed Lu Zhong upstairs again.
However, after Eli also followed upstairs, the old man sitting at the door got up, looked at the place where Lu Zhong had disappeared just now, and muttered, "What is the origin of that creature?" I can't see through it at all...... I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse?"
Lu Zhong and Erli came to the third layer that Mo Lao said just now, and it is worth mentioning that there are almost no paper exercises in the entire Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and several books are engraved with charms. Therefore, the box that Mo Lao said is the box used to hold charms, otherwise there are too many classics, and there are too many classics here. And the only exercise recorded in jade slips is the second part of the Biluo Huangquan Jade Book, after all, it is known as one of the ten immortal methods, and even the storage method is much more advanced.
Found a box in the seventy-nineth, there were many charms in it, and each charm recorded an exercise, and Lu finally found the secret method that Mo Lao said could be reborn of flesh and blood.
The name of the exercise, Aoki Longevity Formula, can greatly enhance the body, rebirth of broken limbs, raise the dead, flesh and bones can also be done. But there is a fatal drawback, which is currently impossible for Lu to achieve, that is, he must first have his own physical body, whether he is alive or dead, Aoki Changsheng can be repaired. But there is a problem of suitability involved, only one's own body can fit the soul perfectly, if it is someone else's body, not only can it not be resurrected, but it is also possible to destroy one's own soul.
Lu Zhong only took a cursory look and knew that it was not suitable for him, put the charm back, and prepared to go to other places. If you don't go through it, how can Lu Zhong know that it is the most suitable exercise for him at the moment.
Came to the fifth layer that Mo Lao said, found the boxes of the forty-sixth and three hundred and fifty-four, gathered in front of him, and slowly opened it, a box is a method of condensing the flesh, to put it bluntly, it is through the formation ceremony, from scratch, to create a body. This immediately aroused Lu Zhong's interest, and after a closer look, he gradually found that something was wrong, the body created by this method can only last for about a year, and the body created after a year will be destroyed, so every other year a body has to be condensed again.
Another point is that the materials needed for this method are a little difficult to find, and Lu Zhong doesn't want to work hard to gather the physical body condensed by the materials, which is just a disposable item. After Lu Zhong looked at it a few more times, he sighed slightly, it seemed impossible to create a natural body.
Man-made creation has never been as perfect as God has given, and the road to condensing the flesh is still very long.
Inside the other box is a person's codex, which records the process of a monk's reuniting the body of his Taoist couple, putting forward various conjectures, verifying the results one by one, and various experiments, just to finally let the Taoist companion who only has the soul have a new body. Everything was recorded.
Lu Zhong was a little moved, but when he saw that there was no result in the end, the record was recorded to the end, but it was suddenly interrupted. It should have been found by the enemy, and he went to meet the enemy before he could finish writing, and the final result can be imagined.
Seeing this, Lu Zhong felt sorry for a while, and died on the eve of victory, and in the end, he didn't know if this person's Taoist companion had succeeded and whether he had reunited and returned?
Erli sighed when he saw Lu Zhong watching, and he only glanced at it to know the outcome of the matter.
"Don't dwell on it anymore, they failed, even if they succeeded, it is estimated that they will not live alone. Erli said lightly.
"How do you know?" Lu Zhong put down the spell and asked rhetorically.
"Guessed"
Lu Zhong put the box back in its place, and didn't think that the method here would solve his problem. Moreover, the man's companion is a complete soul. But in the end, he only has obsessions, he has become a soulless person, and he relies on obsessions to support everything.
"Let's go, go up and have a look, if you can't do it, you'll have to look elsewhere. Lu finally beckoned to Eli, but Eli's attention was not here, but looked at an inconspicuous corner, which was a gray cloth like a sheepskin.
Erli stepped forward and took it out of the corner, slowly opened it and took a look, outlining these many lines, very abstract, it seemed to be a person drawn, but if you looked closely, it looked like a topographic map recording a place, Erli's eyes swept over the cloth, suddenly, as if he had seen something surprised, Erli's eyes slowly widened, and he stared at a place somewhere in disbelief.
Lu finally saw that Erli seemed to have discovered something, walked up to Erli, and asked puzzledly: "What is this, take it to wipe these boxes with dust?, dirty, put it back?"
"Throw it, what are you kidding, do you know what this thing is? Erli raised his voice an octave and said sarcastically.
"Is it something good?" Lu finally saw Doom's reaction, guessed that this thing should not be bad, but he couldn't understand this thing at all, those strange lines on it should be the road map there, right? But in his mind, it was just a line, and he didn't know what secrets were hidden in it.
"Hmph, it's not just a good thing, it's so good!" said Eli excitedly.
"What the hell is this, and what is the use?" Lu finally knew that he was shallow, and asked Erli without hesitation.
"This thing is of the same origin as the slate fragment, and has a similar aura. Even if it's not, it shouldn't be that far off. Eli analyzed.
"Are these lines drawn on it a road map?" Lu Zhong drew inferences from one another, and also guessed.
After pondering for a moment, he spoke again: "It is indeed a road map, and I may know what the final destination of this map, and what it is looking for, I may know what it is......"
“...... You said that such a big bunch has anything to do with my reuniting body?" Lu Zhong said a little speechless.
"Yes, why not, if this map really records that thing, maybe you really have a chance to reunite your body, a real flesh and blood!"
"You've been talking a lot of things here, what the hell is that?" Lu Zhong frowned.
Eli Leng snorted, glanced at Lu Zhong obliquely, and then explained: "This is something of the same origin as the sarcophagus, according to the information on this cloth, this is a tombstone." ”
It just so happens that the coffin and the tombstone, this is almost complete. Listening to what Erli said, these two things are very big, and they are not something they can plan for the time being, even if they can help Lu Zhong reunite his body, it is not a matter of time and a half.
But since he got that picture, he has been studying those lines and paths, as if he wants to find the only path that can lead to the end from thousands of threads of information.
Lu Zhong didn't care about him, he went up to the sixth floor alone, Lu Zhong actually understood that the possibility of him finding a solution in the sixth floor was very small, but he still had to go, and although it was hopeful, he always had to try.
The two floors behind this scripture pavilion are somewhat different from the previous floors, the front floors are densely packed with boxes, and there are all kinds of charms in the boxes, but on the sixth and seventh floors, there are no more boxes, and there are no bookshelves or anything like that, there is not much space here, you can see it all at a glance, there are many high platforms in the center, and there are rows of scrolls on them, and there are not many of them, only forty-five pieces.
For the thousands of boxes and charms in the previous layers, these forty-five things occupy one layer, which shows that the things on the sixth layer are much better than the previous ones, but they are much inferior to the Biluo Huangquan Jade Book on the seventh layer.
Lu Zhong found a scroll in the fourteenth row, slowly opened it, and recorded a strange exercise called "Underworld", Lu Zhong didn't look closely, and glanced at it slightly, this method itself has no offensive ability, but it is a little ridiculously strong in defense, and the name of Underworld means that you can cross the underworld alone. Drop all attack power and pull your defense to the maximum.
The underworld only cultivates the physical body, and any blood rebirth is a routine operation.
What Lu Zhong cares about the most is that this cultivation technique is deep, even if only the remnant soul is left, he can reunite, but although Lu Zhong is tempted by this exercise, he is helpless, because Lu Zhong doesn't even have a remnant soul, and the only remaining obsession can't meet the conditions for cultivation at all.
Lu Zhong sighed for a while, and he didn't know when he would see the end of the road that wanted to condense his body.
