Chapter 13: Choosing a Mentor
"Elder, you have to be more careful this time. Although he hasn't really understood the cultivation method of this world, Xia Mu understands that the concept of cultivation is the most important, and once he gets it wrong, it will have a far-reaching impact on his future cultivation path.
"Everything in the world has a lifespan, some are almost eternal, and some, life and death are just a flick of a finger, birth, old age, sickness and death, it is not a common thing for people. ”
"Elder, what are you saying is too difficult, what do you want to tell us?"
The old man didn't blame them for interrupting the conversation, but asked with a smile, "Where did you come from?"
"Naturally, it is born from the womb of the mother. ”
"Yes, you are all conceived from your mother's womb, and then you absorb nutrients, and finally you are born safely, and this cradle of life, we call it the womb, mortals use it to reproduce, and we monks use it for cultivation. ”
"All the use of spiritual arts needs to open up the fetal palace, and before that, you can only practice spiritual determination and martial arts, and work in the direction of opening up the fetal palace. Elder Han Feng's tone was calm and eloquent.
"Where is this womb palace in the human body?" Xia Mu asked.
"Three inches below the umbilicus. Elder Han Feng pointed three inches below his umbilicus with his hand and said, "This place is located on the golden section line of the human body, and it contains four acupuncture points, namely Guan Yuan, Yin Jiao, Qi Hai, and Shimen four acupoints. ”
Xia Mu was a little surprised, the location that the old man said, Kyushu is called Dantian Qihai, and this place is called the Fetal Palace, the name is different, but it represents the same location.
At this time, hearing Elder Han Feng say that it was the root of cultivation and the root of all spiritual arts, Xia Mu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he had a little understanding of the cultivation methods in this world.
The fetal palace is not a point, but an area in the human body, according to the old man, it is based on the four acupoints of Guan Yuan, Yin Jiao, Qi Hai, and Shimen, which is the foundation of the monk's practice.
Elder Han Feng emphasized solemnly and earnestly: "The fetal palace is the most important thing in the human body, and once it is damaged, this cultivation path is equivalent to being broken. ”
Next, Elder Han Feng allowed everyone to ask questions and patiently answered their questions.
"In general, the fetal palace is the foundation of cultivation, so what is the realm before the fetal palace?"
"That is the practice necessary to open up the womb. ”
"What do you mean?" a young man took the initiative to ask, saving Xia Mu from speaking on his own.
"Although the human fetal womb is a natural existence, it still needs to be opened up so that it can be used for cultivation, and refining blood and opening the body are preparations for opening up the fetal womb. ”
"Could you please tell us more about the Blood Refining Realm and the Enlightenment Realm, what is the relationship between them?"
"Blood, through all corners of the human body, refining the blood realm, refining qi into the blood, so that the blood and spiritual power fusion, and then circulation of the human body, nourishing the various viscera organs, making the human body more and more powerful; ”
"There are so many acupuncture points in the human body, do you have to open them all up?"
Elder Han Feng shook his head and nodded again, "Before the fetal palace, you only need to open up the four acupoints of Guan Yuan, Yin Jiao, Qi Sea, and Shimen, but when you cultivate to the highest realm, every acupuncture point in the human body is interconnected, and you can even open up a world to hide essence and absorb qi." ”
A group of teenagers were surprised and said, "Has the elder reached this realm now?"
"How is it possible, even if this kind of realm is placed in the Middle Ages, it is still a rare existence, maybe some of you can reach it thousands of years later. Elder Han Feng encouraged at the right time and said, "Legend has it that a true immortal has reached this realm, and every acupoint and trick in his body is a small world, which can fight for tens of thousands of years and maintain his immortal power. ”
"Alas, that's just a legend, my patriarch once said that it is still unknown whether there are immortals. A young man from a large tribe spoke, "Tell us something practical." ”
"There are also the Middle Palace and the Mud Pill Palace above the Fetal Palace, and if the monk wants to gain a long life, he must not be trapped in the Fetal Palace. Elder Han Feng's eyes were bright, and he said: "Originating from the Fetal Palace, breaking through the Middle Palace, going straight to the Mud Pill Palace, and then building the Divine Platform with the Divine Soul, once the Divine Platform is completed, you can absorb the essence of the five elements, refine the five internal organs, and achieve an immortal body." ”
As soon as these words came out, a group of teenagers showed a thoughtful look on their faces, feeling a little puzzled, and asked, "Can this be immortal?"
After hearing this, Elder Han Feng shook his head with a smile and said, "Of course not, the immortal body is just a statement, it is not really immortal, it is just to break through the foundation of the immortal secret realm, and there is still a longer way to go." ”
"Elder, is the end of the cultivation path the secret realm of immortality?" Xia Mu asked carefully.
"If you want to become a top powerhouse in Dongzhou, it is enough to step into the Secret Realm of Immortality, but if you want to achieve eternal immortality, it is not enough to just step into the Secret Realm of Immortality. Speaking of this, Elder Han Feng shook his head and continued: "Even if you are a peerless genius, if you want to step into the Immortal Secret Realm, you need to have some chances, as for the path after the Immortal Secret Realm, it is not something you should know now, you should not be too ambitious, remember, only by laying a solid foundation is the key to achieving immortality." ”
Time was in a hurry, in a blink of an eye, half a month passed, Xia Mu gradually adapted to the life here, and the change in his cultivation concept made him slowly accept all this.
During this time, an elder passed on the next spiritual decision, known as the strongest foundation-building method of the ancient holy dynasty - "Divine Codex".
The Divine Codex, dare to self-proclaim such a name, it is enough to explain a lot of problems, the treasure book of the god's cultivation is the supreme spiritual decision, and in Dongzhou, only a limited number of spiritual decisions can be juxtaposed with it.
Of course, the elders of the Qiankun Sacred Academy only taught the Blood Refining Chapter and the Enlightenment Chapter, not all of them, and only when they practiced to a certain level could they get the follow-up method.
There is no doubt that this "Divine Codex" really deserves its name, every word is full of profound meaning, there are endless mysteries, just the two most basic methods of blood refining and enlightenment, let some elders explain for half a month.
On this day, a crane flew in the sky, several meters long, and there were two young disciples, a man and a woman, who were the senior brothers and sisters of the Qiankun Holy Academy, and were responsible for leading the thousand teenagers to apprentice today.
In the end, a group of people marched towards the ancient hall of the Qiankun Holy Courtyard.
The hall is magnificent and tall, the clouds are patchy, built on an ancient mountain, it is one of the highest ancient halls in the Qiankun Holy Courtyard, the interior is ancient, there are runes circulating, the glow of the sun, making the hall bright, there is no need to light up at night, and there is a treasure array covering the ground, blessing this place, making the aura of the hall more intense.
This ancient hall is extremely empty, and even if it can accommodate less than a thousand people, it will not feel crowded at all.
And hundreds of elders of the Qiankun Holy Courtyard were already waiting here, all of them with a kind smile on their faces.
This apprenticeship is a two-way choice, the elder has the right to choose the disciple, and the disciple also has the right to choose the elder of his choice.
"Everyone, let's start choosing apprentices!" said an old man at the head.
Suddenly, hundreds of elders of the Qiankun Holy Courtyard rushed out and began to choose apprentices, a group of people had obviously been assigned in advance, which elders chose which disciples, they had discussed in advance.
Soon, after some mutual selection, one elder was complacent and returned with his newly selected apprentice, while Xia Mu and the other top ten disciples in the trial, on the contrary, none of the elders went to choose, it seemed that there were other arrangements.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for us to discuss the whereabouts of these ten disciples. The elder who spoke before looked around, and then turned his head to Xia Mu and smiled: "The ten of you are the most outstanding ones in this trial, let me ask you, do you want to worship which elder you want to worship?"
As soon as these words came out, Xia Mu and the others looked at each other, and then replied in unison: "Everything is up to the elders." ”
In fact, they don't know much about these elders, although they have been teaching for half a month, it is not enough to see which elder is the strongest, not to mention that strong strength does not mean that they will teach disciples, it is better to let the elders choose themselves.
"Looks like it's going to happen again. The leader of the elder looked around and said, "Elders, according to the rules of the previous sessions, those who are interested can come out to fight. ”
"That's how it should be!" an elder nodded in agreement.
"Haha, it's been ten years, and this time the old man won't lose again. In an instant, dozens of elders came out in a row, all of them were calm and profound, and they were all ready to compete for the top ten disciples.
Dozens of Changhong rose to the sky, left the ancient hall, came to a mountain range and began to fight, Xia Mu and the others all came to the outside of the ancient hall, looking up to the sky, but unfortunately, these elders flew higher and higher, and gradually were blocked by clouds and mist, making it difficult to see clearly.
I saw that the sky was full of divine light, and there was a loud rumbling sound, sometimes the wind was fierce, and sometimes the clouds were burning......
Xia Mu and the other thousand teenagers were dazzled, only those elders who did not participate in the battle looked indifferent, they were not strong enough to participate in the battle, and naturally the old gods were at ease waiting for the result.
After a while, the visions in the distant sky disappeared one after another, and a spirit rainbow appeared in the sky, cutting through the sky, and it came in an instant.
The first to land was the elder who had been led before, dressed in a golden-textured robe, looking like a fairy-like man, and although the hair on his sideburns was a little scattered, he had a triumphant smile on his face.
And the dozens of elders who arrived later were also more or less embarrassed, most of the elders had very ugly faces, and only a few had smiles on their faces.
"Everybody, I agreed. The leader of the elder laughed and explained the result of the battle.
"Since we lost, we naturally have nothing to say, Wujizi, you can choose two people first. There was an elder in the back who spoke, and his tone was not very good, obviously he had completely lost in the battle, and he didn't even have the right to choose.
The old man named Wujizi did not hesitate, and directly chose Xia Mu and Bo Ya, his face was about to smile, and then four more elders walked out one after another, choosing Han Xuan and the others.
However, at this moment, after inspecting Xia Mu's body, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he had a hellish expression on his face.
