Chapter 17: The Taixuan Sutra
Chu Shan has been cultivating step by step every day, and it has been more than three years now. After finishing Tai Chi as usual today, Chu Shan came to the study and read while standing on the pile. Chu Shan only began to cultivate systematically after he governed Qinghe City for half a year. At this time, I discovered the mystery of the second layer of the Taixuan Sutra. The first layer of the Taixuan Sutra is mainly to expand the space of the heart core, and after the second layer, it is to cultivate natal spiritual objects. In this world, anyone who opens the core space will have a natal spiritual object, and only by constantly cultivating the natal spiritual object to make it fully manifest will they reach the realm of foundation building. General casual cultivation does not have cultivation exercises, and can only continue to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to provide the growth of natal spiritual objects, but some major sects have better qi refining methods, higher efficiency, and at the same time, there are more wonderful secret methods of refining heaven and earth spiritual objects to enhance cultivation, therefore, the general famous masters are from famous families is this reason, unless there is any chance against the sky, otherwise there will not be much development.
The second to thirteenth layers of the Taixuan Sutra are all carved runes, forming a prohibition, and the prohibition has different attributes, which are generally divided into twelve basic attributes such as gold, wood, water, fire, earth, yin, yang, thunder, time, space, wind and underworld, as for the other attributes, they are all evolved from these twelve attributes. In the second layer of the Taixuan Sutra, all the runes of the twelve attributes and the methods of depiction are given, and there are 10,800 runes for each attribute. When carving runes, you need to use your own natal essence blood, and generally one natal essence blood can depict three to four. Ten thousand and eight hundred runes can form a layer of prohibition, and of course, the minimum nine pieces of depiction can also form a layer of prohibition, but the difference is very different. For every nine more pieces, the power is increased by a few points. The second to thirteenth layers are all the cultivation methods of these prohibitions, and only when the cultivation reaches the eleventh layer of prohibitions and the twelfth layer of prohibitions is formed, it can be regarded as building a foundation. After that, the cultivation depends on the number of forbidden layers, and when it reaches a certain level, the prohibition will undergo transformation, and when it reaches a new realm, its lifespan will increase significantly.
Chu Shan's natal essence blood is not only more in quantity than others, but also in quality to the extreme. In addition, it takes several months for ordinary people to recover a drop of essence blood, but it only takes one day for Chu Shan, so Chu Shan has an ambition in his heart, hoping that he can cultivate to perfection. Chu Shan first started his cultivation from the fire attribute of the five element attributes, consuming half of the essence blood every day, that is, eight drops. This is summed up by Chu Shan, only in this way can it not hurt the fundamentals, and the speed is the fastest. Each drop of essence blood is enough to carve ten runes.
Eighty runes can be carved in one day, but they must be restored the next day, so the average day is only forty. Chu Shan was constantly hovering between this kind of loss and recovery, and the direct consequence was that the quality of essence blood had changed qualitatively, and in the second year, each drop of essence blood could depict twelve runes, and the recovery time was greatly shortened. By the third year, a single drop of essence blood could inscribe sixteen runes, and it only took that night to fully recover, and its speed had more than doubled. So far, the Five Elements Rune Chu Shan has been completely burned successfully, forming an initial Five Elements Prohibition on top of his natal spirit world tree species. But half a year ago, Chu Shan found that he could depict other runes in an attempt, so he simply began to depict the runes of the spatial attributes, and at this time more than 10,000 runes of the spatial attributes had been depicted. Chu Shan still had an idea in his heart at this time, he had the first three layers of the Taixuan True Scripture, which was enough for him to cultivate for more than ten years, and there was no danger in Qinghe City, so it was better to stay and lay a good foundation, and after completing the cultivation of the first three layers, he would enter the Taixuan Gate. Anyway, I'm not very old, and my cultivation speed is not satisfied, so I can afford it. Strive to successfully portray all the prohibitions of the twelve attributes, and maybe there will be some surprises in the end. Therefore, he refused to return to the family and asked to continue to stay in Qinghe City, on the one hand, he could cultivate with peace of mind, and on the other hand, he could earn the contribution points of Taixuanmen, and there were five to ten points a year in the secular management of the city, depending on the management situation.
After absorbing the Five Elements Prohibition, Chu Mountain's World Tree Species began to slowly absorb the aura of the outside world, constantly strengthening Chu Mountain's internal organs, but this was a slow and gentle process, almost imperceptible, Chu Shan was also discovered a month ago. Now that he has carved all the runes and completed the cultivation of the second layer, Chu Shan has calculated that it only takes less than two years, and the third layer consummation only takes less than five years, plus the previous three years, a total of eight years, Chu Shan can still spend, compared to the solid foundation, less than ten years can still wait.
One day, after Chu Shan had carved all the space runes, a strange prohibition looming on the World Tree Seed was formed, as if it was there, but it felt like there was no zĂ i. Immediately, this prohibition seemed to have discovered something, and it automatically wrapped around the five elements prohibition, and then slowly fused together, knowing that it disappeared completely, and at this time, the five elements prohibition kept flickering, making slight adjustments, until it lasted for three hours. In the end, it was completely fused, and the aura of the Five Elements Prohibition became more ethereal and unpredictable, and its power increased by more than a notch. Seeing this situation, Chu Shan couldn't help but feel glad for his previous decision to spend time to completely portray all the prohibitions of all attributes, otherwise how could there be such a strange change. At present, although I don't know if all the twelve basic attributes can be completed, half of them have been completed, including gold, wood, water, fire, earth and space attributes, and Chushan is ready to fuse time attributes in the next step. The time attribute is the most difficult attribute of all attributes, and its rune complexity is the highest, Chu Shan took almost a month to draw a rune for the first time, failed countless times in the middle, and finally slowly became proficient, but on the last day, he was only able to draw thirty-six runes, which was more than twice as full as the other attributes. But Chu Shan did not give up, and after hard work, he finally completed two-thirds. But recently, he has been feeling irritable in his heart, so Chu Shan decided to stop for the time being and relax, after all, it is impossible for people to spend all their time cultivating. However, this just coincided with the principle of cultivation, and the mental realm couldn't help but improve a few points, and he had a little bit of confidence in the future path, of course, these were things that Chu Shan himself didn't know, Chu Shan only felt that his body was much more relaxed, but he didn't think much about it.
After saying hello to the doorman, he walked around Qinghe City alone. The city is much more prosperous than it used to be. There are many shops in the city, trade is thriving, morning and night markets are connected day and night, and restaurants, teahouses, tiles, etc. are scattered. The variety of goods increased, and various types of bazaars appeared. Many agricultural and sideline products and handicrafts began to turn to the market and became important commodities. Such as the surplus grain of the peasants,
bamboo and wood utensils made by craftsmen, etc. There are also different types of fairs in the city, regular and irregular, professional and seasonal. Commercial tax revenue has increasingly become an important source of revenue for the city lord's mansion.
The streets are full of people coming and going, there are beautiful women in brocade clothes stepping on lotus steps under the umbrellas held by maids, boudoir girls bowing their heads and walking into the silk shop with shyness and timidity, and girls holding their mother's hands and smiling and wanting to buy rock sugar gourds. All kinds of cries echoed each other, and occasionally one or two carriages passed by, and the adults led the children to avoid the carriages and picked up a few buns. The men were wrapped in headscarves and dressed in coarse linen clothes, rushing to the market on the street, their eyes unconsciously looking at the beautiful girls and young women on the street, and they shook their heads slightly when they remembered the wretched wives at home.
Chu Shan himself didn't have any purpose, so he stopped when he came across the snack bar, bought a little, and ate as much as he wanted, which was also comfortable. While eating and walking, while listening to the bargaining voices of these vendors, I couldn't help but go back to my previous life in a trance, where the law of the jungle is no longer followed, there is a law to protect the weak, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Thinking of when I first came, where were the people so lively, they were all numb. Seeing these achievements, Chu Shan couldn't help but feel a little proud, after all, this was his own hard work.
Walking and walking, I came to a restaurant after a while. A very common signboard was posted at the door - Wang's Restaurant. Walking in, a shopkeeper immediately greeted him and asked, "Please come inside." "Find me a seat by the window, and serve a few side dishes, two catties of beef." After sending off the shopkeeper, Chu Shan sat down, there were many people in the lobby, there were people from three religions and nine streams, no wonder some people said that the teahouse and restaurant were the most well-informed places. Among them, there is a storyteller who is telling the story of the lord of Qinghe City fighting the major families and governing the city.
Chu Shan didn't expect that after only a few years of not seeing, the world has its own title of fighting bullies, wise and virtuous, and even the common people will make up Chu Shan's deeds into jokes, and publicize them everywhere in teahouses, restaurants, etc., now I think about it, it is estimated that the surrounding people know that there is such a good city lord who never thinks about himself and thinks about others! Chu Shan doesn't care, he leans against the window alone to enjoy the scenery outside, and occasionally listens to the story of the storyteller in front of him, although the story is exaggerated a lot, but the plot reasoning is ** Not far from ten, which made Chu Shan have to sigh that the wisdom of the masses is infinite. Now Chushan just gave the people a space to live, and the people were grateful to Chushan. This made Chu Shan very relieved, and he had some confidence in the path he would stick to in the future. The people in the world are suffering, and they can do their best to seek peace of mind.
