Chapter Forty-Three: Shengde in the Wood

As the sea water is continuously sucked into the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda, the second layer of this pagoda becomes completely stable, and the third layer also begins to appear illusory, giving people a hazy feeling, like a pavilion in the air.

This layer of phantom is radiating a pale green brilliance, giving people a warm and comfortable feeling like spring, which is particularly cordial.

With the appearance of the third layer of the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda of Heaven and Earth, the operation of the Xuanhuang Merit Recipe has also changed, and a new layer of exercises has appeared. Li Xuan was a recipe inherited from the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda of Heaven and Earth, because without the guidance of the master, he could only grope for the cultivation of the Xuanhuang merit recipe by himself.

After a rough calculation, Li Xuan has been a full year since he got the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda last summer. He has cultivated this exercise to this extent, and if he is in the cultivation realm, he is definitely a genius. And Li Xuan still felt that his cultivation was a bit slow, and he really didn't know what he thought.

How did he know that even if it was a cultivation genius, it would take about a year to complete the foundation of the exercises. And when he built the foundation, the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda of Heaven and Earth spontaneously used the only remaining Xuanhuang Qi of Heaven and Earth and the Qi of Heaven and Earth Merit to build the foundation and wash the marrow, which can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented.

The foundation laid for him is even stronger and unparalleled, making his future cultivation path extremely smooth.

The "Jinde Zhizheng" of the first layer of Li Xuanyuan's cultivation corresponds to the "Jinde" among the "Five Virtues". The second level of the exercise, "goodness is like water", corresponds to the water virtue in the "five virtues", which is in line with the golden water in the five elements of heaven and earth. The newly emerged third layer of exercises, called "Shengde in Wood", corresponds to the wood virtue in the "Five Virtues", and conforms to the aquatic wood in the five elements of heaven and earth.

Through the cognition of the five elements of heaven and earth, he felt that "wood virtue" was followed by "fire virtue", and "fire virtue" was followed by "earth virtue", so that gold begets water, water begets wood, wood begets fire, fire begets earth, and earth regenerates gold, forming a cycle of five elements.

When the time comes, after the consummation of the five elements, there will definitely be new changes in the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda of Heaven and Earth.

I don't want to go that far, so it's right to practice the newly emerged "Shengde in Wood" exercise first.

The corresponding annotation of this layer of exercise is: "Heaven is to cover the people for virtue, the four seasons have their own flourishing times, spring is for life, and the fertility of heaven is virtuous, and it is in the wood position, which can nurture all things." It is said that the heavens have the virtue of giving birth to plants and trees, and this layer of exercises corresponds to the avenue of life, and the wood is the foundation, which has a germinal effect on all things in heaven and earth. ”

At the same time, there is also a note: "Ten thousand trees are forests, and future generations enjoy the shade; "It should mean that the third layer of the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda of Heaven and Earth should need ten thousand trees, as for whether to collect ten thousand trees or plant ten thousand trees, it needs to be tested through practice.

The latter is that he needs to use the vitality he has cultivated to cure diseases and save people, accumulate merits, become benevolent to the healer, and contribute to the restoration of the pagoda. Not to mention, this project of repairing the pagoda is still quite difficult, if you are not proficient in all the eighteen martial arts, it really won't work.

However, the functions attached to this layer of exercise are not small. Not only has it opened up an additional meridian, but it also has the wood qi that can transform the qi of Xuanhuang merit into the wood qi of all things to produce, that is, the qi of life, which can play a role in identifying medicinal properties, giving birth to plants and trees, and helping the human body to repair.

The function attached to the pagoda is that it can collect plants and trees, plant all kinds of plants and trees, and use the energy of plants and trees to stabilize the pagoda. Due to the fact that the third layer of the pagoda can grow plants and trees, there is already oxygen in this layer of the pagoda, which can really store living things.

When the second layer of the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda was completely restored, and when the phantom appeared on the third layer, Li Xuan's exercises also completed a breakthrough at the same time. With the opening of a new meridian, the operation of the exercises has gradually become smoother. Li Xuan also woke up from his cultivation and let the exercises run on their own.

For this layer of exercises, Li Xuan thinks that it should be easy to succeed in cultivation, and it just so happens that he has contracted a barren mountain at home, as long as he plants more trees, he may be able to repair the pagoda.

As for curing diseases and saving people, the spiritual water in the second layer of the pagoda has the effect of strengthening the body, and after practicing the "Shengde in Wood" exercise, as long as the life qi is injected into the patient's body, the patient may be cured.

Li Xuan also has his own understanding of this layer of exercises. He remembered that Mr. Zhao once told him a story about an ancient famous doctor who treated people and planted trees. It seems that in the ancient times of Huaxia, there was a Three Kingdoms period, and there was a famous doctor named Dong Feng, who was as famous as Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo at that time, and was known as the "Three Divine Doctors of Jian'an".

When Dong Feng was a teenager, in addition to studying ancient classics, he worked hard to study medical skills and was determined to be a doctor who helped the world. Later, by chance, he met a master, so he cultivated Taoism, not only the medical skills are extremely skillful, but also able to predict wind and rain, and the people regard him as an immortal who can "call the wind and call the rain".

It is said that after this Dong Feng cultivated the Tao, he stayed young for a long time, his face remained unchanged, and he traveled all over the world to save people with his medical skills. There was once an assassin who suffered from toxic shock and had been dead for three days, but was treated by Dong Feng and came back from the dead.

He once spread the knowledge of agricultural techniques for planting fruit trees to farmers, hoping that people would get rich by planting trees, but unfortunately many people were skeptical and did not implement it. Therefore, Dong Feng set a peculiar system, no charge for medical treatment, but after the seriously ill recovered, five apricot trees should be planted; If the disease is mild, plant one.

In this way, after several years, more than 10,000 apricot trees were planted around the barren mountain where he lived, becoming an apricot forest. He also exchanged apricots for grain and rice to help the poor.

Later, the story of "Xinglin" has been handed down, and when people praise doctors with noble medical ethics and superb medical skills, they often use words and phrases such as "Xinglin Spring Warmth", "Reputation of Xinglin", "Xinglin Master" and so on, and "Xinglin" has also become synonymous with the medical community.

Although Li Xuan can't say that he can call the wind and rain now, since he cultivated the Xuanhuang Merit Technique, his ability has already surpassed that of ordinary people. He suspected that this Dong Feng was practicing the wood attribute exercises, relying on the wood nature to improve his mana.

And he will definitely become a person with stronger ability than Dong Feng, because the Xuanhuang merit technique is the first immortal cultivation method, and even the sage Taishang Laojun has to learn from it.

For afforestation, Huaxia has specially determined an Arbor Day, and stipulates in the Forest Law: "Afforestation and forest protection are the obligations of citizens." Grandpa and grandpa also often told Li Xuan the story of the predecessors planting trees and the descendants enjoying the shade.

Li Xuan has always been supportive of afforestation, and he actively participates in the tree-planting activities carried out by the school every year. Now that he is cultivating the Xuanhuang Merit Technique, he needs a good environment even more, and he is even more supportive of afforestation.

It's just that he is not very satisfied with the country's decision to set Arbor Day in March, which is only one day. Because it was still freezing and snowy in the Black Province in March, it was impossible to plant trees at all.

Li Xuan believes that this Arbor Day should start from the south of the country and start to the north according to the climatic conditions, and in his opinion, it should be more appropriate for the Arbor Day in Hei Province to be set in May. It's just that he doesn't count what he said, he can only think about it.

Maybe in the near future, if you can become a big official, this problem will be solved. Not to mention, decades later, Li Xuan relied on his influence in officialdom to really realize this idea. Each province has set a tree planting month according to its own climatic conditions, and has also extended the time from south to north, so that the green area of the country has increased year by year.

The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade. Many years after Li Xuan left the earth, people are still grateful for the benefits of Li Xuan's advocacy of afforestation.
