But he said that the Yin Sect came to visit, and inquired about Zhang Xian, and knew that the Lotus Sect had also come to visit, and he also had a friendship with the Lotus Sect, which made the Yin Sect feel a lot more relieved.

The ancients were like-minded, and those who could make friends with the Lotus Sect were definitely not good people, and the Yin Sect also included Zhang Xian in the evil sect.

The person sent by Yin Zheng to visit was a middle-aged man named Gu Heren, who took over the branch altar of the Lotus Sect in the county seat, and was ready to rebuild the branch altar into a city Taoist temple, so he came to inquire about the situation first.

Gu Guan speculated that Zhang Xian was a Taixu sect, and he was still building a cemetery some time ago, which was a common practice path of the Taixu sect.

And the amount of work in this cemetery is not small, it can't be done without two thousand taels of silver, how can there be so much money in general casual cultivation, either to open a Taoist temple, or to make friends with nobles, or to play with spells, otherwise it is impossible to make so much money.

Having a friendship with the Lotus Sect is exactly in line with these styles.

Gu Guan came to visit, of course, he also gave a big gift, but Zhang Xian had already retreated, and he only saw Wu Yunyao.

Wu Yunyao's appearance and temperament were too beautiful, and he didn't want to attract attention, so he had to wear a veil and claim to be Zhang Xian's apprentice, and Wu Yunyao's mind was also very delicate, according to Zhang Xian's explanation, he pretended to be a Geshan cult, and vaguely revealed that Shizun was practicing corpses in the tomb.

As soon as he heard this, Gu Guan suddenly realized that it was not the Taixu faction, but the Taoist friends of the Geshan evil sect, and this cemetery was the tomb of the corpse.

The Yin Urn Sect also practices corpses, and it is in the same vein as the Shangqing Dynasty, and of course it has a friendship with the Geshan Evil Sect.

And the whereabouts of the Geshan evil sect are in the area of Taixu Mountain, the ancient city next to Luoshan County, this Baijia Town is located in the middle of nowhere, close to Taixu Mountain, and it is normal for Taoist friends to practice corpses here.

Gu Guan didn't have the slightest suspicion, and reported the matter after going back, and the Yin Sect was also very polite, sending someone to give gifts again, and also said that he would not set up a hall in Baijia Town and would not disturb the Qing cultivation of Taoist friends.

Even if this matter is fooled, I also received two gifts.

Unconsciously, it is another month has passed, the season is autumn, the weather is gradually getting a little cooler, Zhang Xian from the underground palace out of the customs, before and after the retreat for three months, three cycles of blood exchange, cultivation has reached the consummation of the Dan Zhongcheng.

He came out to recuperate for a day, and still ate a medicinal stewed sheep, as well as ginseng, lingzhi, etc., and then made some rice wine, drank wine with Wu Yunyao, and exchanged experiences in cultivation.

Late at night, continue to enter the underground palace retreat.

In the blink of an eye, January has passed, it is already the late autumn season, the autumn rain is continuous, the autumn is getting colder, day after day, month after month, unconsciously it is another three months have passed, and finally the hug Dan is complete, the season is already a cold winter wax moon.

There are rules in the sky, the four seasons are orderly, yin and yang change, no pole Tailai, the winter solstice is spring, every household celebrates the Spring Festival, the earth will be warm, and the yang rises.

On the morning of the first day of the new year, Zhang Xian walked out of the underground palace, the sky was dark, the atmosphere in the town was already lively, and the villagers got up early in the morning to prepare, preparing for the New Year's grave to worship their ancestors.

He looked at the town below the mountain, and his heart was filled with some melancholy, and he had been in retreat for seven months, and he had escaped from the state government at the beginning of spring, and now it was the new year, exactly one year.

In this year's situation, he held Dan to perfection and cultivated a Taoist practice, which is a great change.

For some reason, he suddenly had a sense of vicissitudes in his heart, the vicissitudes of life, time like a shuttle, as if it was not a year, but 10,000 years.

"Tianzong, you're out of the customs. ”

Wu Yunyao's voice came, and under the eaves next to him, Wu Yunyao knew that he was out of the customs today, and he didn't go to the morning exercise for breakfast, but was waiting for him.

However, today, Wu Yunyao's figure seems to have lost a lot of weight, but she is full of energy, her eyes are as clear as a mirror, her qi and blood are restrained, her skin is crystal clear, she looks thin, but she is more energetic.

When Zhang Xian saw Wu Yunyao's emaciated appearance, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Monk Yunyao, have you started to open the valley?"

"Hmm. Wu Yunyao nodded and said, "Half a month ago, I felt that Baodan had been completed, so I tried to start Bigu. ”

"It was completed half a month ago, so fast!"

When Zhang Xian heard this, he was still a little surprised, he thought that his speed was fast enough, but he didn't expect Wu Yunyao to be faster than him.

Wu Yunyao smiled indifferently and said: "I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, I have the conditioning of the emperor's great-ancestor, and there are many heavenly and earthly treasures, the qi and blood in my body are pure, the bone marrow is transparent, and there are not many impurities, so I hold Dan quickly." ”

"I see. ”

Zhang Xian suddenly realized, and thought of the marrow cleansing pill passed on to him by his master, this is the advantage of being born in a famous family, he has been conditioning since he was a child, and his foundation is firm, which saves a lot of time.

"However, the subtlety of Bigu still needs to be gradual, otherwise it will hurt itself, and when you first enter Bigu, you can stop in moderation, don't be too anxious. ”

Zhang Xian reminded him, worried that Wu Yunyao would hurt himself. Said

Bigu is not eating, only drinking water, through hunger, consuming one's own flesh and blood, consuming one's own substance, and then tonic and conditioning, cooperating with cultivation, re-increasing flesh and blood, and replacing one's own substance.

To put it simply, it is to starve and lose weight first, and then make up for it, between this elimination and growth, it is equivalent to reshaping the body, and the Taoist book says: rebirth.

Taking off the acquired mortal womb, replacing the acquired muscles and bones, reshaping the innate body, sanctifying the body, and becoming a god in the soul, this is the true meaning of rebirth.

Therefore, Bigu is hungry, strictly speaking, there is no clear boundary between the two realms of Bigu and Baodan, and even ordinary people can also Bigu.

He usually clears the valley for three days every seven days to clean up his own dust.

However, the subtlety of Bigu, which seems to be hungry on the surface, is actually the metabolism of the body's internal functions.

According to the law of the human body consuming energy in the body, first consume the energy in the blood, then consume body fat, and finally consume body muscle, but the body function of ordinary people is too weak, the energy in the blood is consumed, and then a little fat is consumed, and it is almost hungry, and it can only last for three or five days.

However, the person who cultivates has enhanced physical functions, especially after practicing the marrow and blood exchange, the whole body is refreshed with qi and blood, and the body functions are fully opened, and they are very hungry.

As long as there is water, the metabolism of the Baodan Realm can continuously transform body fat and body muscles, and even infiltrate into the bones, convert energy from the bone marrow, and consume it until the skin and bones, knowing that the flesh and blood in the body are exhausted, and finally starve to death into a dead corpse.

As long as there is a trace of flesh and blood energy in the body, life will not stop, this is the metabolism of immortals.

In ancient times, many Buddhist monks sat down, and in the end only a dead corpse remained.

And the flesh and blood are completely exhausted, and the dead corpse is almost a skin and bones, so it will not rot and can be immortal for a long time, and the Buddha is called the golden body.

Legend has it that the Dafan Temple of that year enshrined more than 100 golden bodies, all of whom were monks who practiced in the past dynasties.

Of course, in order to reach this realm, you must hold the Dan to perfection and completely open up your own functions, otherwise your metabolism is not complete, and you will inevitably starve yourself.

Therefore, in the early stage of Bigu, we must not be anxious, we need to go step by step, and slowly experience the law of Bigu, everyone's physique is different, and the law of Bigu is also different.

"I know there's no need to worry about me. Wu Yunyao nodded, understanding the essence of Bigu.

Zhang Xian didn't say much, with Wu Yunyao's cultivation and the guidance of the masters behind Wu Yunyao, he didn't need to be reminded at all, and he also felt that Baodan was complete, and he could try to Bigu.

This level of the realm of Bigu is to really step into the innate and cultivate into the land true immortal, after being reborn, there will be the sublimation of the essence, and Baodan is just a beginner.

"I went to the town to buy a sheep, recuperate, and went on retreat. ”

As he spoke, he stepped out, and the afterimage swept a few feet away, and quickly went to the town below the mountain.

After a while, he came back, busy stewing the sheep in a pot of medicinal food, eating ginseng and ganoderma lucidum, etc., and continued to make wine in the afternoon.

After finishing his work, he still drank with Wu Yunyao, but Wu Yunyao had already opened the valley, and he didn't even drink the wine, and he replaced the wine with water, but he was also free and easy.

However, when he was about to step into Bigu, Zhang Xian had a doubt and asked: "Monk Yun Yao, why is it that the cultivation masters we meet are either Huixu Hudan or Ghost Immortals, but we haven't seen a single one in Bigu?"

He and Wu Yunyao smashed the Lotus Sect together, and dealt with the Yin Sect together, and they could be regarded as encountering many masters, but they really didn't see a single Bigu.

Wu Yunyao said: "This matter is simple, now Fang Xian does not cultivate the way of heaven and man, but cultivates the way of ghosts, there is no bottleneck during the Bigu period, as long as you can endure loneliness and step by step, once the Bigu is complete, you can directly practice the art of autopsy." ”

"For ghosts and immortals, Bigu is equivalent to crossing the tribulation, and if you cross it, you will transcend life and death, and if you can't cross it, it will be a catastrophe, so this layer of the realm is almost in the dead pass, so you won't come out and walk around. ”

"I see. ”

Zhang Xian suddenly realized that this level of realm is indeed very important to the ghost immortal, once the valley is completed and promoted to the ghost immortal, this will jump into life and death.

Wu Yunyao said again: "The day after tomorrow there are four layers of realms, solid foundation and refinement, refining and refining qi, practicing qi and transforming gods, returning to emptiness and practicing marrow, and there are also four realms in nature: Bigu, Yin God, No Leakage, and Yang God." ”

"Bigu is equivalent to a solid foundation, the Yin God is Zhongcheng, no leakage is Dacheng, and the Yang God is equivalent to returning to the void and practicing the marrow, which is not only the consummation of the innate realm, but also the entry to the realm of heaven and man, but the life of the ghost and immortal is not complete, and it cannot be cultivated into a celestial person. ”

Zhang Xian was puzzled for a moment: "Bigu, Yin God, and Yang God, I know everything, but there is no leakage, what is this realm?"

Wu Yunyao said: "The realm of no leakage is actually not a layer of realm, but a layer of limits. ”

"The realm of the Yin God, in the ancient Taoist books, is also known as the Yuan Baby, which means to return to the innate nature, the flesh spirit is the Dan, the Dan is the womb, and the gods are conceived. ”

"The realm of the Yin God is to practice the unity of the flesh and spirit, the flesh and spirit are fused to the extreme, the red dragon is killed, the white tiger is captured, the hair of the whole body falls off, the pores are closed, and there is no leakage of life, which can add a Jiazi Shouyuan, this is the realm of no leakage. ”

"But anything, if you want to reach the extreme, it is the most difficult, and then you can't reach the extreme, and then the extreme yin turns into yang, this is the realm of the yang god, so this level of the realm is not the realm, but a pole, either you haven't reached the extreme, or you have reached the extreme, and you are all practicing the yang god in retreat, so it's very difficult to see. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Xian couldn't help but smile bitterly and sighed: "The existence of this innate realm seems to be in retreat!"

"That's how it is!"

Wu Yunyao's tone had a free and proud tone, his eyes looked into the distance, full of yearning, and said:

"The higher the realm, the more lonely and lonely, but in fact, almost all the Yang Immortals of the Universiade Dynasty have left, and they are not in Kyushu at all, so there are only ghosts and immortals on the table, unless they are about to reach the limit, they will be reincarnated and reincarnated. ”

"This ......" Zhang Xian was stunned for a moment, Yang Xian had left? Where did they go? Why did they come back after reincarnation? He became interested, and quickly asked, "Why is this?"
