I said above: "Qi Haotian and Zhang Youyue escaped death, met Gu Sanbao and Zhao Xinyue in the City of Years, Qi Haotian fought with Chu Moli in the half-step inn, Qi Haotian, Zhang Youyue, Gu Sanbao, and Zhao Xinyue came to the ancestral home of the Qi family - Gloomy Ecstasy Valley, Chu Moli returned to Liuye Village to worship his parents and danced with the sword, Xuanyuan Jianxiong was possessed by Rahu and fought with Dugu Defeat, and at the last moment, the contemporary master of the Forgetful Academy, Amorous Tianzun, forgot Shu to intervene, and Luo Hushui, who was possessed with Xuanyuan Jianxiong, fled to the Netherworld Valley and escaped. Dugu defeated the sky and returned to Nuwa City, ten years of changes, the city lord of Nuwa City is now Dugu Hong, and Dugu Batian has been in retreat and practice. And what about the protagonists of the wedding that year, Dugu Xiuyun and Xuanyuan Invincible? What about the ancient city lord Xuanyuan of the past?
Let me continue with their stories.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is April 1, 1928 in the star calendar. Qi Haotian and Zhang Youyue returned to Lingyin Temple, and Gu Sanbao and Zhao Xinyue also came to the temple.
Because Qi Haotian has not been in the temple for ten years, and Zhang Youyue has not been in the temple in recent years, there is no separate residence for them in the Lingyin Temple. In the end, a few people were caused by fate, and Daoji Tianzun let the four of them live in the meditation room of the Dragon and Tiger Palace. Qi Haotian has not practiced in the temple for all these years, but he has obtained the Qinglian inheritance due to fate, so he has to participate in the assessment of Lingyin Temple.
Speaking of this Lingyin Temple, the assessment is divided into three kinds, one is the entrance assessment of lay disciples once every ten years. The second is the great examination of Buddhism and Taoism once in a hundred years, and the third is the assessment of true disciples. In Lingyin Temple, the disciples practice in five categories: one is lay disciples, and the other is monk disciples. The third is the academy disciples, the fourth is the true disciples, and the fifth is the personal disciples, among which the lay disciples are equivalent to the outer disciples of other sects, and the monk disciples are equivalent to the inner disciples of other sects.
Disciples like Qi Haotian, Zhang Youyue, and Luo Wushuang were taught by Venerable Daoji, and they were the fifth type of disciples in the Lingyin Temple. There are not many such disciples, because only those who have reached the human realm cultivation in the Lingyin Temple can accept disciples, and the disciples who pass on the disciples themselves need to teach themselves and provide cultivation resources. Therefore, each person who has reached the human realm usually has only one or two disciples, and the most personal disciples in Lingyin Temple in the past thousand years are the abbot of Lingyin Temple, Wu Regret Zen Master Shi Wu Regret, who has 9 personal disciples.
In the Lingyin Temple. Different types of disciples enjoy different cultivation resources, among which lay disciples need to obtain their own cultivation resources, but the cultivation exercises can only obtain the acquired cultivation exercises, and the monk disciples can obtain part of the cultivation resources of Lingyin Temple. and obtain innate level exercises. True disciples can obtain different resources according to their cultivation and progression, and if the merit is sufficient, they can obtain most of the lineage in the temple.
In Lingyin Temple, there are three types of practice, one is true practice, which is based on the cultivation of Buddhism, and the cultivation of the body itself. The second is instrument cultivation, this kind of cultivation depends on foreign weapons, there are lotus platform, wooden fish, Bodhi Buddha beads, knives, guns, swords, sticks and various weapons to choose one as the natal Buddha weapon, the third type is art cultivation, this art cultivation is thousands, a hundred flowers bloom. Mainly based on various skills, or alchemy, or talisman making, or practice formations, and some practice rhyme, in short, there are all kinds of skills. Such practitioners are usually academy disciples.
......
There are many ways to practice. Everyone's path of cultivation is different, but no matter how long the path is, they all take the two types of real objects as true, and these two types of cultivation methods can give the practitioner the ability to live forever and change the heavens and the earth.
After reading the thick "Lingyin Temple Practice Common Sense" in his hand, Qi Haotian knew what he should do, The assessment he currently needs to participate in is the assessment of the true disciples, and now he has no shortage of exercises and resources, but what he lacks is insight, what he lacks is wisdom, and what can provide him with insight in the Lingyin Temple is the status of the true disciple, because the true disciples of the Lingyin Temple can obtain the right to read all the books in the Lingyin Temple Scripture Building.
After silently deciding in his heart, he put down the "Lingyin Temple Cultivation Common Sense" in his hand. He began to close his eyes and adjust his qi, and his cultivation had reached the twelfth heaven of the day after tomorrow, and he decided that after completing his pranayama, he went to the Luohan Hall of Lingyin Temple to apply for the true disciple assessment.
Legend has it that there is one place in this world that you must not visit, and that is the Netherworld. It is inhabited by ghosts that eat people's hearts, demons who are ever-changing, despicable criminals, thieves who steal people's graves, killers who kill people, drink blood and laugh in the Three Realms, and villains who trade in human beings by wives and daughters. In short, it's the source of sin, it's the domain of demons, it's the sanctuary of ghosts, it's the home of killers, it's the slut's lair, it's the home of grave robbers, it's a haven for the forgetful.
Xuanyuan Jianxiong, who escaped from the water, crossed thousands of seas and countless formations through the weak water, broke through the barriers of time and space and came to the legendary Netherworld Valley located in the depths of the Netherworld. But because of the attack of the amorous Tianzun in the end, in his swing, I don't know how much divine soul mystery is contained, not only to return thousands of weak waters to calm, but also to make the remnant soul of Rahu, who has just woken up and recovered a little bit, suffered unprecedented damage, in the retreat, his divine soul consciousness was attacked like never before, including Xuanyuan Jianxiong's self-consciousness attack, as well as the power of Buddhism and the attack of the netherworld Devoured by the power of weak water, and finally unwilling to disappear the remnant soul of Rahu, finally exhausted all his strength, and came to the outer area of the Netherworld Valley - the Ghost Forest.
In the end, he fell unconscious, and Xuanyuan Jianxiong's divine soul consciousness fell into Rahu's memory, As the god of war of the Asura clan, the oldest family in the underworld, his memory can be said to be vast, in his life, Dugu Yuer is his beloved, the only one in his life.
The Netherworld Wind is cold to the bone, Xuanyuan Jianxiong in the ghost forest has been in a coma for seven days and seven nights, Now he has been blown cold by the Netherwind wind, but the power of the awakened Asura bloodline has gradually and completely transformed into the real Asura bloodline under the erosion of the Netherworld Qi in the Netherworld Valley, and the bloodline of the suppressed nine-tailed fox hidden in his body is also eroded by the demonic energy of the ghost forest, The broken bloodline seal has truly opened the magic power that belongs to the bloodline, His body shape also gradually changed, and I saw that a tail gradually appeared on his body, and a tail with blood color appeared, and under the true power of the Buddha, his blood fused.
I don't know when I saw the ghost forest of the sun, and at this moment, ten thousand demons are boiling, and a hundred ghosts are walking at night.
Look at this is the Minotaur, that's the sheep-headed man, the kobold, the centaur, the lion spirit, the wind demon, the headless ghost, the starving ghost, the black and white impermanence, the ghost guys and demons in this ghost forest have come out.
What day is today, It turns out that this moment is the hundred-year competition competition of the ghost forest in the Netherworld Valley.
"Master, you see there is a fox clan in front of you, look at the blood-red tail, it must be the legendary blood fox." A 10-centimeter-tall ice and snow demon said to his master, the holy daughter of the Ice and Snow Clan.
Hearing the words of his companion elf Ah Xue, Xue Wu Fei looked a hundred meters away from him. There's a weird demon that's thawing.
Xuanyuan Jianxiong, who was slowly frozen by the Netherworld Cold Wind, gradually lifted the ice, and the cold ice on his body quickly disappeared in the fluctuation of his blood-colored true qi, and a few seconds later, a blood-red long head full of blood, a blood-red tail up to three meters long, and his whole body skin was as white as snow, and he appeared in front of Snow Dance.
Looking at the naked person in front of her who seemed to be a legendary blood fox clan, Xue Wufei felt that her face was a little hot, but as a member of the demon clan, she was still not so shy, although she was just now just transformed into a human. I saw her pretend to be calm and said, "Who are you?"
Hearing the 1.7 meters tall ice and snow blue beauty in front of her, with white hair and demons, her skin like blue ice, and bursts of cold air all over her body, she calmly looked at herself and asked who she was.
Xuanyuan Jianxiong, who had just accepted his father's memory inheritance, instantly cast a spell and hid his blood-red tail and the bloody horns on his forehead. And took out a piece of his own clothes from many years ago from his spatial ring and put it on. Then he said in a natural tone: "My name is Luo Wushuang, who are you and what is this place?"
Seeing him exert his mana, he put on his clothes in a few minutes, and the snow danced before she felt her heart fluttering, She sneaked out of the clan this time, and accidentally came to this demon place. She hasn't seen a single creature yet, but fortunately, she has received excellent training in the clan, and she still knows a lot about this holy place of demons and monsters, the Netherworld.
I only heard her say slowly: "This is the Netherworld Valley, and now is the once-in-a-century martial arts competition in the Ghost Forest, and I am about to participate in the martial arts competition."
In this way, the two chatted, and while walking and chatting, they came to the first ghost town in the ghost forest-Hundred Ghost City.
And at this moment, Dugu Xiuyun and Xuanyuan Invincible, who had not seen each other for ten years, each went to Lingyin Temple from their own place of practice. This time, on behalf of the envoys of Pangu City and Nuwa City, they came to participate in the centennial Dharma Discourse Conference of Lingyin Temple.
The Buddha said, "Red dust is a calamity."
Is the red dust a calamity, or a fruit?
