Xu Mo turned his head to look and saw a middle-aged man standing up from the crowd and walking to the middle of the field. The middle-aged man was dressed in black, with a sturdy body, and between advancing and retreating, with a compelling momentum, as if he was not a person, but a tiger and a lion, giving people a sense of danger.

Luo Xin whispered to Xu Mo: "Brother Xu, this person is Chen Xuan, a body refiner in Huanghua County, who is invulnerable to swords and guns. At the same time, the strength is infinite, and with one punch, there are thousands of catties of strength. Strange, this person has always been a reckless man, when did he have the magic method of immortality?"

When Emperor Zhizheng heard this Chen Xuan say that there was a method of immortality, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Who is the surname of Daoyou, where does it come from, and what is the magic method of immortality?" ”

Chen Xuan bowed, and then said: "Your Majesty, the minister's surname is Chen Mingxuan, and he is a body refiner in Huanghua County. As for the method of immortality, it is necessary to work this refining body. ”

Emperor Zhizheng said with a smile: "This statement is interesting, since Daoyou is called a body refiner, presumably all cultivation methods are related to the body, Chen Daoyou, I don't know if what I said is right?"

Chen Xuan said respectfully: "Your Majesty is Shengming, and you can hit the nail on the head." ”

Emperor Zhizheng then asked: "But I don't know how far the Daoist friends have refined?"

Chen Xuan smiled proudly, "Swords and guns are invulnerable, water can't be wet, and fire can't be burned." ”

Emperor Zhizheng listened to him speak with a heroic tone, and he was even more joyful, "That being the case, Chen Daoyou is willing to let me open my eyes and show my magical powers?"

Chen Xuan bowed, "Your Majesty's orders, how dare you disobey." But the minister is alone, and it is meaningless. I also have to borrow more from the guards under His Majesty. ”

Emperor Zhizheng said: "Very good. Chen Daoyou, how many guards do you want?"

Chen Xuan thought for a while and said, "Eight is enough." ”

Emperor Zhizheng summoned eight guards over and ordered: "You assist Chen Daoyou and listen to his orders." ”

The eight guards answered and walked to Chen Xuan's side.

Chen Xuan said: "I have a lot of work, please gather around and stand in one direction." ”

The eight guards stood up as they said and surrounded Chen Xuan in the middle. But hearing this, Chen Xuan said again: "Wait a minute, let's say it, and you can use the weapons in your hands." Stab the lower body. In the lower refining body has achieved a small success. Invulnerable, you don't have to show mercy. That's it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he said 'Okay' and closed his eyes. His whole body is like iron. A pair of eyes can't be refined. Therefore it was closed early.

When the eight guards heard him say, 'All right,' they raised their spears and stabbed him from all angles. Chen Xuanyun was full of breath. The muscles and bones of the whole body are like iron. The spears of the guards were everywhere, and the pieces of his clothes were torn, but the punctures were not in the slightest damage to the skin.

But hearing Chen Xuan's sudden shout, with a wave of his hands, the eight guards only felt a vibration in their hands, and the spears in their hands were broken into two.

Chen Xuan knelt down and kowtowed to Emperor Zhizheng, "Your Majesty, the minister is rude, and the crime deserves death." ”

Emperor Zhizheng smiled: "It's okay, the Taoist Friendship is really wonderful, and it is really invulnerable." Chen Daoyou, do you have any other means?"

Chen Xuan said: "Please ask Your Majesty to find a cauldron and make a fire." ”

Emperor Zhizheng gave an order, and a few guards went out, and soon after, they found a cauldron and put it in the middle of the field, and a fire was lit underneath.

Chen Xuan asked people to add water to the pot, the fire burned, and he jumped directly into the pot to take a bath. The fire became more and more vigorous, and it didn't take long for the water to boil, and Chen Xuan took a bath in the boiling water, and his face did not change.

Emperor Zhizheng praised loudly, "Sure enough, it's a good supernatural power, Chen Daoyou, please accept it." ”

Chen Xuan jumped out of the pot when he heard this, and after being boiled in boiling water for so long, the skin on his body did not turn red.

Emperor Zhizheng smiled and asked, "Fellow Daoist, what do you say about this method of immortality?"

Chen Xuan said: "Your Majesty, mortals die of old age, and it must be related to the body. The minister thought that the purpose of refining the body and refining the body was to make the body immortal. ”

Emperor Zhizheng raised his eyebrows, and he was very moved, and said busily: "Reasonable, Daoyou continue." ”

Chen Xuan couldn't help but be very happy when he saw that Emperor Zhizheng agreed with his statement, and continued: "But how can we make the body immortal? The minister thinks that the main thing is the word 'move', when a person reaches old age, his limbs are stiff and his movements are slow, and as he gets older, his body becomes more stiff and moves slower, until one day, his body is stiff to the extreme, and he can no longer move, that is, he is dead. ”

"'If the body stiffens to the extreme, and can no longer move, it is dead. There is a lot of truth to that. When Emperor Zhizheng heard the wonders, he couldn't help but praise loudly, "Chen Daoyou is reasonable. ”

Chen Xuan smiled proudly, and continued: "Your Majesty, throughout the ages, everyone has been like this, from birth, to old age and death, it is a development process from movement to rigidity. Everyone is like this, so no one can escape this life, old age, sickness and death. ”

Emperor Zhizheng nodded, "In the opinion of Dao friends, how to solve it?"

Chen Xuan walked a few steps in the middle of the venue, and saw that the eyes of everyone present fell on him, he was very proud, and said with a smile: "It's very simple, to solve the problem of death, you first need to solve the problem of stiffness, if there is a way to make people not stiff, this person can not die." ”

"Reasonable. Emperor Zhizheng praised loudly.

Chen Xuan's eyes swept around, and he said with a smile: "Chen's method of refining the body solves the problem of stiffness, refining the body to the extreme, being flexible and free, and driving away one's own stiffness, so that you can not die." ”

Emperor Zhizheng fell silent when he heard this, it seemed that it would take a while to digest what Chen Xuan said, and after a while, he asked, "Chen Daoyou, what is it called refining to the extreme of the body?"

Chen Xuan said: "Your Majesty, please take a look." After a gesture, he raised his right hand and raised it high to a certain extent, and said: "Ordinary people can only raise their hands to this extent, because they ......" He stretched out his left hand, pressed his right shoulder, and continued: "Because it is blocked by people's joints, I can't lift it." It's the same with raising your hand back. ”

As he spoke, he lowered his right hand and raised it back, to a certain extent, he couldn't lift it either.

This is stiffness, which is the stiffness of the human body, and in old age, this stiffness spreads. And the refiner is to eliminate this stiffness. Your Majesty, please take a look. Chen Xuan said and raised his hand again. This time. His joints seemed to move, and one arm easily circled.

"Huh!" Emperor Zhizheng said in surprise, following Chen Xuan's example, he raised his arm, and found that he couldn't be like the other party at all, so he hurriedly asked, "How did Daoyou do it?"

"Your Majesty, this is the work of refining the body. Chen Xuan said respectfully: "The minister used the technique of refining the body to eliminate the stiffness of the body, so the arm can be circled. His Majesty had never practiced alchemy, so he couldn't do it. ”

Emperor Zhizheng withdrew his arm. Continue to ask, "Wrap your arms around your shoulders." Can you live forever?"

Chen Xuan said: "Far from it, Your Majesty, if you want to live forever, not only your arms." It also removes stiffness from all parts of the body. ”

Emperor Zhizheng said curiously: "Oh!

Chen Xuandao: "Chen practiced martial arts at the age of seven. He is twenty-nine years old. In the past twenty-two years, he has been quite smart and diligent. Stiffness throughout the body has been removed. As he spoke, he bent down and moved a few times. His body is so close to the noodles that he can turn around at will.

Emperor Zhizheng exclaimed: "Good skill, so in this way, Daoyou has already been immortalized?"

Chen Xuan shook his head again, "Far from it, the minister is on the road to immortality, but he has only taken the first step, and he is still far from immortality." ”

Emperor Zhizheng's eyes froze, "What do you say?"

"Your Majesty, please see. Chen Xuan said and walked a few steps, walked to the peach tree planted by Fang Wuyazi, stretched out an arm, and touched a trunk. The distance between the trunk and the ground was a little large, and he stood on tiptoe and stretched out his arms, still more than a foot away.

"Daoyou, do you want this?" Emperor Zhizheng looked at him suspiciously.

Chen Xuan said: "Your Majesty, this trunk is too tall, and the minister's body has been stretched to the extreme, and he still can't touch this trunk." ”

Emperor Zhizheng smiled: "If you want to touch this tree trunk, it is not easy, with Daoyou reaching out, just a slight jump, this trunk is in the hands of Daoyou." ”

Chen Xuan said respectfully: "What Your Majesty said is true. However, the minister does not have to jump up, he still has to touch this trunk, please look at it. ”

As he spoke, the distance between his fingers and the trunk of the tree became shorter and shorter. The crowd looked at him, but saw that his whole body was actually elongated, getting longer and longer, and it was not long before they reached out and touched the trunk of the tree.

"Huh!" Emperor Zhizheng was extremely surprised, "Daoyou is really good. ”

Chen Xuan withdrew his hand and saluted respectfully, "Your Majesty, this is the second step of immortality. According to the minister's opinion, the way of immortality is divided into three steps, the first step is to eliminate the stiffness of the body, and the second step is to let the body function as desired and can change freely. The lengthening of Chen's body just now is a step in this change, but it is only a very small step. In addition, there is a third step, which is to change the Xuan Xuan after the body is running as you wish. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand, clenched his fist, and bent it into his arm, and in a moment, the fist was pressed together with his arm, and then his arm was bent up, and he curled it at the end.

Chen Xuan said: "Your Majesty, what do you think this looks like?"

Emperor Zhizheng looked surprised and replied, "It's like a snake." ”

Chen Xuan said: "Exactly. Your Majesty, the third step after this body is running as you wish, is actually to allow yourself to become a snake, not just a snake, and can change into anything at will. Your Majesty, please take a look. As he spoke, he crouched down and dug a lump of mud in the ground, and took water from the pot where he had boiled it, and made it into mud.

Everyone present looked at him and Mud, and no one said a word.

When Xu Mo saw this, he couldn't help but think: This person has a rough appearance, and he actually has so many thoughts, and he really can't look good.

After Chen Xuan reconciled the mud, he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look." ”

Emperor Zhizheng was attracted by his behavior and couldn't help but say, "Fellow Daoist, this is a lump of mud. ”

Chen Xuan nodded, grabbed the mud in his hand, and pinched it a few times at random, and the mud became a clay figure. Then he lifted the mud high and said, "Your Majesty, what do you think this is?"

Emperor Zhizheng said: "It's a clay man." ”

Chen Xuan then said: "Assuming this is a person, please take a look." As he spoke, he grabbed the clay figure again, pinched it a few times, and the clay figure changed and turned into a mud pig. "Your Majesty will look at it again. ”

Emperor Zhizheng said: "It seems to be a pig." ”

Chen Xuan pinched on the mud pig, and turned into a cow, a sheep, and a horse, and then pinched it into a bell and a pot, "Your Majesty." If you reach the third step and your body turns as you wish, you can be like this clay figure, you can transform into anything, or a cow, a horse, a sheep, a bell, anything you can think of, anything in shape. Ever changing. Omnipotent. And to this point. and they will live forever. ”

Emperor Zhizheng fell silent again and did not speak for a long time. After a long time, he sighed and asked, "Fellow Daoist." Have you cultivated to that point now?"

Chen Xuan said: "The minister is stupid. I have just cultivated to the second step. ”

Emperor Zhizheng then asked: "Go on like this." When will I be able to cultivate to the third step?"

Chen Xuan was silent for a long time before he said gloomily: "The minister doesn't know what to do." ”

Emperor Zhizheng asked again: "Can it be cultivated in a hundred years?"

Chen Xuan was dripping down in a cold sweat, "Absolutely not." ”

Emperor Zhizheng shook his head. He looked depressed, "With such a talent as a Taoist friend, he still can't cultivate, let alone others? Could it be that this path to immortality is really just a flash in the pan?"

Chen Xuan lowered his head and was silent.

Emperor Zhizheng's gaze swept from the crowd, and when he saw it, everyone couldn't help but bow their heads, and no one dared to look at him.

After another moment, he could hear Emperor Zhizheng say: "Chen Daoyou's idea, although it is extremely difficult to cultivate, after all, it gives a path to immortality. Ladies and gentlemen, today's Ten Thousand Laws Conference is for the purpose of discussing the method of immortality, and we can express our opinions as much as possible. If you have any thoughts in your heart, you can say it, and even if you say it wrong, I will never blame it. ”

After a pause, he continued: "This path to immortality given by Chen Daoyou, according to his own way, is of course difficult to cultivate. I hereby make a promise that although this method was proposed by Chen Daoyou, if someone can improve it, find a better cultivation method, and finally lead to the path to immortality, his merits will be the same as Chen Daoyou's, and I will also give the same reward as Chen Daoyou. ”

This time, when everyone heard this, they couldn't help but whisper, just let them come up with a better cultivation method, hoping to pass the path given by Chen Xuan, and finally achieve the result of immortality, it was obviously too difficult. Everyone whispered for a long time, but they didn't come up with a reliable solution.

Emperor Zhizheng was unspeakably disappointed, and said to Chen Xuan: "Chen Daoyou, although you have put forward a plan for immortality, so far, you have not found the true path of immortality, so I have rewarded you ......."

Then he raised his voice and said loudly: "Chen Xuanshou mentioned the method of immortality, sealed Miao as a real person, rewarded five thousand taels of silver, gave a python robe, a thousand hectares of fertile land, and a mansion in the capital. Gold medal side, you can walk in the inner palace. ”

"Your Majesty. "This reward is much heavier than the boundless son just now, Chen Xuanda thanked him.

Luo Xin whispered to Xu Mo: "I didn't expect Chen Xuan to have this ability, his discussion just now was very much a face-saving battle for the body refiner." I don't know if there is such a talent among my qi refiners, otherwise I am afraid that I will be crushed by their body refiners in the future. ”

Xu Mo nodded and did not speak.

After Chen Xuan thanked him, he retreated into the crowd. But I heard Emperor Zheng say again: "Rank, which one still has the method of immortality, even if it is the same as this Chen Daoyou, it only exists in theory, and it doesn't matter if you can't do it for the time being, let's talk about it together." ”

I asked several times in a row, but no one answered. Emperor Zhizheng sighed: "Is there no other way to live forever besides what Chen Daoyou just said?"

"Your Majesty. At this time, only one person in the crowd could be heard say: "The minister has the method of immortality." ”

"Oh!" Emperor Zhizheng was overjoyed, "Who is the surname of Daoyou, what is the magic method of immortality?"

The man's voice came from behind Xu Mo, obviously also a member of the third-class mage, Xu Mo looked back, but saw an old man in his fifties or sixties standing up and speaking eloquently.

Luo Xin glanced back and said happily: "Hey! It turned out to be him." ”

Xu Mo asked, "Brother Luo, who is this person?"

Luo Xin said with a smile: "Brother Xu didn't know him, this one, like Zaixia, is also a Qi Refiner. But he's a lot more famous than me. Now it's okay, this person is willing to come forward, at least he can come up with a set of theories, and with this set of theories, my Qi Refiner should not lose to the Body Refiner. ”

But seeing the old man slowly walking out of the crowd, he arrived in the middle of the venue, bowed down and saluted Emperor Zhizheng, "Your Majesty, the minister's surname is Kuang Mingshi, and he is a Qi Refiner of Wuhua Mountain. ”

Emperor Zhizheng heard him call himself a qi refiner, and immediately smiled: "It turns out that Daoyou is a qi refiner, just now it is as wonderful as a real person claiming to be a body refiner." The two of them have one refining qi and the other refining body, I don't know the difference between this refining body and refining the body?"

Kuang Shi said respectfully: "Returning to Your Majesty, as the name suggests, refining the body is the body, and refining the qi is the qi. ”

Emperor Zhizheng smiled: "I see, just now Miao Ru real person has already shown his own magical powers, what kind of magical powers do Taoist friends, why not show it." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Kuang Shi agreed, and said, "Please ask Your Majesty to have someone take a wooden plank." ”

Emperor Zhizheng instructed the guards, took a wooden plank, and brought it to Kuangshi.

Kuang Shi said: "There are two Laos. Then he said what he thought, and let the two guards stand in front of him with planks in hand.

But seeing Kuang Shi take a deep breath, this breath was inhaled, and his stomach was like a balloon, and it immediately swelled.

He took a breath that lasted for several minutes. As he inhaled this breath, his whole body seemed to grow larger, and it swelled like a loaf of bread.

The skin on his face gradually became congested, but the blood vessels were swelled, and all the exposed skin on the surface of his entire body turned red, looking like a large toad that had been swollen with fright.

While everyone was worried, Kuang Shi suddenly blew out in one breath.

But I heard a few soft sounds of 'poof' and 'poof', and the man was everywhere in one breath, and countless small holes were knocked out of the surface of the plank. (To be continued......)
