Chapter 201: The Question of the Emperor
Yu Tianlai rode on a horse and galloped with everyone, but in his hand he held an old book bound from yellowed silk.
He stared at the ancient books with all his eyes, his body fell with the galloping state of the war horse, and the movements and frequency faintly revealed an indescribable wonderful law, which made people feel pleasing to the eye by watching birds flying and fish swimming, and willows shaking flowers.
What Yu Tianlai is browsing at this moment is naturally the "Taiping Technique" handed down by Zhang Jiao.
It had been quite some time since this Taoist secret book came into his hands, but he had only kept it close to him and not studied it. It's not that he doesn't know the mystical magic of this "Taiping Technique", just looking at Zhang Jiao's cultivation of this technique, he can actually compete with Lu Zhi and other celestial-level martial artists who have reached the realm of exterior, and he can know that it is powerful. It's just that he has now stepped into the threshold of the Exterior Realm, and has almost reached the extreme of martial arts cultivation. If you turn to practicing magic, you may be able to boost your strength in a short period of time, but you will also lose your flawless martial will due to distraction, and in the long run, the gains outweigh the losses.
Now he took out this "Taiping Technique" to read, just to see which exercises should be selected to teach the twenty-two teenagers, but not for his own practice.
Yu Tianlai has roughly flipped through it and knows that this "Taiping Technique" is divided into three volumes, the first volume records a secret method of refining spiritual power to give birth to the original spirit, called "Xuanyuan Tong Youjue"; the middle volume records the cultivation and application of one hundred and eight kinds of talisman spells; and the second volume records various miscellaneous studies such as medical divination, astrology, feng shui and geography.
He first read the fundamental cultivation method "Xuanyuan Tong Secret Technique" recorded in the first volume several times, and after making repeated deductions in his mind, he was sure that his decision was not wrong.
The core essence of this "Xuanyuan Tong Secret Formula" is to teach people how to strengthen their spiritual power through meditation and other cultivation methods, and refine and purify it, so that the quantity and quality of spiritual power can gradually reach the level where they can control external objects. However, strengthening and purifying spiritual power is a long process of gathering iron and grinding mountains into needles, and even the so-called geniuses of the so-called cultivation with extraordinary qualifications will have to spend more than thirty years to achieve something.
But Yu Tianlai is different from others, after he killed the visitors on that day in his previous life, he devoured all the spiritual power that he had spread after his death with the "Nine Turns of Ming Jade Gong", and there was no need for that long accumulation process. And now, he has been condensing and purifying the huge spiritual power that is silent in the sea of eyebrows, hearts, and minds, but he is using the ninth-layer mental method of the "Nine Turns of Ming Jade Gong" that he has re-deduced.
Compared with this "Xuanyuan Tong Secret Technique", the method of cultivating spiritual power in the ninth layer of the "Nine Turns Ming Yu Gong" may not be perfect enough, but the "Nine Turns Ming Yu Gong" is deduced bit by bit by combining what he has learned in his own body, and it is also the most suitable for what he has learned. What's more, with the improvement of his cultivation and the expansion of his horizons, this exercise will inevitably continue to improve, and it may not be inferior to this "Xuanyuan Tong Secret Technique" in the future.
However, after he studied it, he also gained a lot, and he was quite inspired by some of the concepts and know-how in this method, and even faintly sprouted some inspiration for further deducing the "Nine Turns of Ming Jade Gong".
Yu Tianlai looked at the one hundred and eight kinds of talisman spells recorded in the second volume, but saw that there were all kinds of them, including the extremely terrifying killing technique of the "Nine Heavens Imperial Thunder True Technique" that Zhang Jiao used in Guangzong City, and the small tricks such as "exorcism talismans" and "nightmare suppression techniques" that were more like those used by Jianghu warlocks to make a living.
After carefully deducing the principles of these talisman spells, Yu Tianlai suddenly found that even if he didn't practice the "Xuanyuan Tong Secret Technique" in the first volume, with his own strong spiritual power, it seemed that he could use some of the relatively simple small spells. Of course, a powerful spell like the "Nine Heavens Imperial Thunder True Technique" needs to be coordinated with the mental method of the "Xuanyuan Tong Secret Technique", which is not something he can control.
Yu Tianlai looked at the next volume again, and saw that the content of this volume was quite complicated, which could be called all-encompassing, but it was difficult to participate in the detailed research for a while, so he could only browse it in a hurry.
He walked all the way and looked all the way, and unconsciously saw the end of the third volume, but saw that the last one was an article entitled "Taishang Asks the Dao", which is a dialogue genre of one question and one answer in more than 500 words, but there is no person who writes the dialogue. The content of the questions and answers in the text is all mysterious and obscure, if it falls in the eyes of ordinary people, they may know all the words in the text, but if these words are connected into the text, they will be dizzy.
But this text fell in Yu Tianlai's eyes, and it sucked him firmly like a magnet.
He has gone through several generations, practiced Buddhism and penetrated hundreds of schools, and his knowledge is extremely profound, only to feel that these questions and answers about metaphysics and reasoning contain countless mysteries. It's just that these mystical principles are too profound and obscure, and although he has some understanding, it is as difficult to understand them as if he was looking at flowers in a fog.
After a long time, Yu Tianlai retracted his gaze with some joy and some disappointment, and sighed softly. He participated in the research for a long time and finally gained nothing, but he also had a faint premonition that if he could carry out this "Taishang Dao Sutra" thoroughly, he should be able to find a way to a broader world beyond the outer realm.
He looked up and saw that the procession was marching in a deserted wilderness, and he felt that something was wrong. He always planned and then acted, and when he drew up the route of travel, he had already sent people to listen to the situation along the way. He knew that he would indeed have to pass through such a wilderness today, but based on the speed of his travel, he should have walked out by this moment.
Between the lightning flashes of his mind, Yu Tianlai's eyes closed slightly, and the huge spiritual power contained in the sea of eyebrows and consciousness overflowed, turning into a circle of invisible ripples rippling around, and under the induction of spiritual power, all the tangible and invisible things around him were reflected in his mind without leaving any trace behind.
"This is ......" Yu Tianlai immediately noticed that something was wrong, in this wilderness, there are dozens of boulders that seem to be scattered, but in fact they are arranged according to some wonderful law. The rock, which was originally cold, was arranged in such a way that it had a strange connection with the aura diffused between heaven and earth, causing the aura to emit extremely slight and slow vibrations, forming layers of invisible fluctuations that enveloped the entire wilderness.
In the fluctuating range, all the senses of everyone and the mount are affected, and it seems that they are walking forward, but in fact, the direction has been slightly shifted unconsciously, and the final result is that they have been walking in this wilderness for half a day.
After figuring out the reason, Yu Tianlai's eyes showed a slight look of vigilance. Although he flipped through the "Taiping Technique", he also departed a little attention to observe the movements of the outside world, but he still unconsciously fell into the Tao. This is inherently the reason why the other party's methods are secretive and gentle, and there is no killing intent, but it also shows the high strength of that person.
"Break!" Yu Tianlai let out a low shout, and the spiritual power he emitted suddenly vibrated sharply, washing away the fluctuations that misled people's senses.
"What's going on?" The others noticed a subtle change in their outlook, and they asked each other in amazement.
Yu Tianlai raised his voice on the horse and shouted: "I don't know which master made this joke with the poor road, please show up and give the sword!"
Before the words fell, there was a strange distortion in the air twenty steps away from Yu Tianlai's horse, and a Taoist in Tsing Yi with a cane in his hand and a childish face and crane hair appeared out of thin air, and saluted Yu Tianlai and said: "Poor Dao Yu Ji, I have seen Taoist friends!"
