34. The Mystery of Kinkakuji Temple (2)
There were a total of five teams of guards in the Shengyang Jun's mansion, and this time two teams were sent to cooperate with Huang Chang's operation - according to the military system of the Zhou Dynasty, every twenty people were a team, which was regarded as the most basic unit when dispatching troops. The two captains of the pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info are the top masters in his house, and their skills are extremely good. However, when it comes to dealing with demons and monsters with supernatural powers, it is definitely necessary to focus on immortal cultivators - this operation must be decided by immortal cultivators, even if it is a royal guard, they must strictly follow orders. Huang Chang made this very clear when he agreed to Sheng Yangjun's request, and the latter also agreed, and issued an order to the two teams of personal soldiers to unconditionally obey the "Huang Immortal Master".
However, despite taking command of this army, Huang Chang hadn't really figured out how to use them. Everything depends on the actual situation on the side of Kinkakuji.
There are demons entrenched in Kinkakuji Temple - this is a legend that has been circulating in Huangyang County for a long time, and it is also the root cause of the West Kunlun Mountains to send them to investigate. However, judging from the results of Huang Chang's previous local exploration, as well as the inventory of county records and documents over the years, it seems that it is not so exaggerated. At least, this demon is not too fierce, otherwise it would be impossible for Guobei County, which is only thirty miles away, to be so quiet.
However, this should not be a rumor, because the Kunlun Sect of the lower courtyard Taoist Temple on the side of Huangyang County had sent people to investigate the matter, and it was still an experienced senior demon hunter, an immortal cultivator who had reached the realm of the Double Heavens! That's why the Taoist temple notified West Kunlun Mountain, asking the sect to send a stronger force to solve it - no, one early stage can't be done, just send five mid-stage qi refining at once, this is the style of West Kunlun Mountain.
"Iron-clad swordsman Yao Xiu...... Entering the Tao with martial arts, that combat power should be very strong......"
Huang Chang picked up the jade slip of information about this Golden Pavilion Temple provided by the Huangyang Taoist Temple, and a wisp of divine thought penetrated, and the face image and identity information of the missing demon hunter appeared in his mind. This person is not a disciple of Kunlun, but a self-cultivation cultivator. However, due to the fact that he often completes the entrusted tasks issued by the Kunlun Lower Court, he is accepted as a member of the Kunlun Outer Gate, and he can be regarded as a hired guest deacon. In the future, if it takes a long time and makes a lot of meritorious contributions, it is also possible to slowly accumulate merit and ascend to the inner gate - the first Iron Crown Daoist of the West Kunlun Law Enforcement Hall is the path that the first Tieguan Daoist has taken, and he has become a high-level monk of the Kunlun sect with a casual cultivation background.
This guy also has the word "iron" in his name, but unfortunately it seems that he has no chance...... Huang Chang recalled the rough face that appeared in his mind just now, and the some superb martial arts he displayed, and couldn't help but sigh softly - if the crockpot is not broken from the well, the general will inevitably die in battle. Demon hunters hunt demons all their lives, and in the end, they will inevitably become demon bait...... However, to be able to kill such a martial arts monk who fought step by step from the bottom of the immortal cultivation world, and let him disappear silently, the opponent's ability is not ordinary.
The so-called martial arts monk refers to the mortal martial artist, who has the ultimate understanding of the way of martial arts, and comprehends the truth of heaven and earth, so he naturally enters the Taoist realm and becomes a member of the immortal cultivator. They are different from Qi refiners like Huang Chang, who were led and taught at the beginning, and directly absorbed the Five Elements Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth to refine and transform their bodies. Martial artists only practice qigong internal force, from the acquired to the congenital, to the limit of the "qi into gang", a body of internal force into "innate gang qi", with this as the source, but also can cast some immortal Taoism.
Qigong can be practiced by everyone, and everyone can be a martial artist, so martial arts monks have no requirements for spiritual root talent. But this is by no means to say that martial arts monks are easy to achieve - there are countless people who practice martial arts today, a hundred times more than immortal cultivators, but in the end, only a very small number of people can enter the Tao with martial arts and become martial arts monks. The key is that the level of "comprehending heaven and earth from martial arts" is too sad. That is essentially equivalent to a visual obstacle, only those who break the previous preconceived notions and can use their own wisdom and understanding to break through the barrier between immortals and mortals can cross this barrier - and for those "normal" immortal cultivators who cultivate with the help of the Five Elements Aura, this pass is usually encountered when refining Qi and entering the Fa Yuan, or even when the Fa Yuan period enters the Jindan stage!
On the other hand, even if a martial artist succeeds in entering the Tao with martial arts and becomes a martial arts monk, the road to immortal cultivation in the future will be very rugged and difficult. The realm of the vast majority of martial arts cultivators could only be limited to the early stage of qi refining for the rest of their lives, and many of them would not even be able to break through to a heavy heaven unless they changed to practice the Five Elements Exercises.
The reason is that the introduction of the Five Elements Spiritual Qi into the body can nourish the monk's body, temper the monk's physique, and gradually allow the cultivator to change his physique, slowly transforming from a mortal body to an immortal Dao body, and naturally the more he practices, the stronger he becomes. However, the "Innate Gang Qi", which is mainly characterized by violent killing, does not have this ability, and the more strong the "Innate Gang Qi" cultivated by a martial arts monk, the greater the pressure on his body as a container. In the end, either you forcibly control it, but from then on your cultivation stagnates, or you blindly work hard until your body can't bear it and collapses, in short, it's not a good end.
Therefore, the major immortal sects in the world do not attach much importance to martial arts or physical cultivation methods, and at most retain some low-level quick cultivation methods, which are used to train the lowest-level miscellaneous thugs and the like-such as the miscellaneous wrestlers on Kunlun Mountain or the Dharma protector Dao soldiers cultivated by themselves in the Nether Courtyard, which are the methods used for physical cultivation. These people don't have any requirements for the spiritual root talent, and they can cultivate a large number of them, but they don't have much future.
However, the Zen lineage of Buddhism from the Western Regions has a unique way of strengthening the skin of the human body, resulting in their physical cultivation method being quite perfect, and they can even cultivate all the way to the level of a golden-bodied Arhat. It is from this that Buddhism does not emphasize spiritual roots, but emphasizes understanding.
However, for the vast majority of mortal martial artists, entering the Tao with martial arts is their only hope of stepping into the path of immortals, although this hope is actually very slim. But after all, there are still some who can enlighten themselves and enter the ranks of immortal cultivators - that iron-clad swordsman Yao Xiu is one of them. Moreover, he also broke through to the double heaven, which shows that he is extremely outstanding in terms of comprehension, wisdom and profound skill. And those who can do this will certainly not be weak in actual combat -- after all, the premise of the four words "entering the Tao with martial arts" is to reach an extremely high level in martial arts. This kind of monk may not be as good as cultivating the Five Elements Exercises in terms of immortal arts, but if he really wants to fight with him by unscrupulous means, even if the average Five Elements monk is a big realm higher, he may not dare to say that he will win.
- However, even such a strongman was planted in the Kinkakuji Temple, and Huang Chang couldn't help but deal with it carelessly. Don't look at the fact that several of them have advanced to the middle stage, and if they don't get it right, they will still capsize in the gutter.
