Chapter 187: Nine Nether Immortal Lotus
In the eyes of most people, Zhang Cheng is an immortal who lives in the secular world.
Carefree and unrestrained.
The world only sees that gods are good, but in fact they are in hardship and suffering, and there is no difference between them and mortals.
Fighting to cross the immortal road, but not reaching the other shore are all miserable people.
One day when we reach the other side, who knows it won’t be a new struggle.
Zhou Yi comforted him and said, "Brother Zhang, please don't be too depressed. Don't you still have two opportunities?"
"The old blind man brags about his magical powers. He is known as the second in Tianji Palace. He can calculate cause and effect even if he is a true immortal in front of him."
Zhang Cheng said angrily: "I just got mad at the beginning and believed his deception, so I was tricked... If he really has such ability, he is not even a Yangshen himself!"
"Maybe."
Zhou Yi nodded slightly, feeling more confident in Tianji Palace.
The old blind man's magical power was extremely high, he could predict the real immortals, and he even considered himself the second best.
The first one is naturally the Master of Tianji Hall.
When the cover of the sun was completed, Zhou Yi went to find the location of Tianji Palace and calculated the auspicious day again.
"Increase the success rate of divination, increase the investment chips, and you will definitely succeed in one fell swoop!"
Zhou Yi did not believe in destiny, and paid more attention to the fact that success depends on people. The so-called destiny has many plans behind it.
Drinking and having fun, time flies.
It's approaching midnight.
Zhou Yi left Chunfeng Tower and flew back to Qingfeng Xiaozhu.
A burst of chanting came from the courtyard.
At this time of night, when people are still, the sound of sutra lectures not only does not annoy people, but also helps them sleep. If you are born spiritually, or if you happen to have an epiphany, you can clearly understand the Taoist practice method from the sound of chanting sutras.
The residents around Qingfeng Xiaozhu had this idea, but it was a pity that Zhou Yi never taught it.
"...the blood that circulates all over the body and limbs. It conforms to yin and yang, is suitable for high and low, regulates and smoothes it, and is like water."
"This passage can be extended to mean the transformation of blood, just like water moving through the earth, turning around when encountering obstacles, following nature, and eventually flowing into the sea and returning to its origin."
Wuyun was sitting cross-legged on a futon and was giving a lecture.
This "Notes on Jingming Narcissus" was written by the True Immortal and comes from the memory of the True Spirit Guangweizi in the body.
Ever since he knew that there was a true immortal lurking in his body, Wu Yun had been using dream recall spells on himself, and fragments of his memories often surfaced.
The original intention is to explore the purpose of the Qingqiu Fox Fairy Wood through the memory of macromicrons. In addition, Wu Yun did not give up treatment completely. Anyway, with Zhou Yi in charge, he tried to search for the flaws in Guang Weizi's true spirit, and maybe he could replace it.
Mao Jiu and Luo Li squatted obediently, and prepared paper and pen to write down the scriptures at any time.
I can clearly understand the meaning of many of these scriptures, and Wuyun explains them very clearly, but if I don't have the state of mind, it is difficult to apply them in practice.
At this time, write down the scriptures and explanations. When you encounter a bottleneck in practice, you can take them out and recite them again, which may have miraculous effects.
When Wu Yun saw Zhou Yi coming back, he stood up and saluted.
Zhou Yi waved his hand and said, "Finish the sutra."
After speaking, he sat aside and listened to Wuyun's lecture.
Zhou Yi never relied on his powerful magic power. He thought that his Taoism was superb, so he looked down on low-level monks.
The sages have said that if you are a person of three, you must have a teacher. If you share the same teachings, the more the better.
Everyone has different opinions on the scriptures, refer to each other, and draw parallels.
Half an hour later.
Wuyun finished the entire "Jingming Narcissus Annotation". This Taoist sutra started with the water method, and then extended to many categories, including the five elements, body refining, yin and yang, etc., so that hundreds of rivers merged into the sea to condense the way of destiny.
Zhou Yi only listened to the second half of the article and couldn't help but nod in admiration.
Although Guangweizi is an old licker, he is not fake at all in the realm of true immortality.
A random scripture in the memory fragments can be placed in any Taoist temple, and a water method sect can be established.
Wu Yun bowed and saluted and said: "I saw a disciple of the Immortal Chief in the Xiaodao. He is a talented and beautiful man. He made his own decisions and preached the scriptures. Please forgive me of the Immortal Chief."
"I'm not going to be a teacher. I'll teach my disciples and let them do what they want. It's a good thing to listen to the orthodox scriptures of Taoism."
Zhou Yi looked at the top of Wu Yun's head with his eyes. The twelve Yuan Chens in the golden celebrating clouds were perfect and connected into one, without missing or missing anything.
There is no way for ordinary people to advance when they reach the Yangshen. Taoist monks integrate the three flowers and five qi with the vitality of heaven and earth, which is also known as the interaction between heaven and man, and achieve the goal of Qingyun above their heads.
In the future, Qingyun will lead to the Immortal Tribulation, which is not only a test of heaven and earth, but also with the help of the power of the Immortal Tribulation, Yang Shen and Qingyun merge into one, becoming the true immortal soul in one fell swoop.
Zhou Yi asked: "Yuan Chen Qingyun has reached perfection and can already try to trigger the Immortal Tribulation. Does the old fox have any backup plans?"
"The Immortal Chief expected it to be true. The last ray of true spirit was refined today and a reaction was produced."
Wu Yun couldn't help but look sad. If it weren't for Zhou Yi's revelation that the real immortal was lurking among the Yangshen, this sudden response might have been regarded as an instruction from heaven, and he happily went to take advantage of the opportunity.
"By chance, I sensed that in the Luoshui Dragon Palace, there was a cave leading to the ground, and there was a black and yellow fairy vine..."
Xuanhuang Immortal Vine, a legendary pure Yang spiritual creature, was born in the core of the underground spiritual veins. Mortals can become earth spirits by taking it.
Wuyun refines the Xuanhuang Immortal Vine and cooperates with Qingyun to trigger the Immortal Tribulation with a high probability.
"This old fox even cares about the old dragon's treasure."
Zhou Yi thought for a moment and said: "In a few days, I will go to the Dragon Palace, ask the old dragon for some immortal vines, and then try to trigger the immortal calamity."
The Qingqiu Fox Fairy's calculations are spotless. It can actually directly give Wuyun Fairy the spiritual treasure. It is not difficult to do so with Qingqiu's background. However, doing so will inevitably arouse Wu Yun's suspicion and use various magic techniques to explore himself.
Using spells such as dream recall and fugue to detect the soul, you can discover the macroparticles lurking in the body.
Qingqiu Fox Immortal can kill Wu Yun with one palm, but it is difficult to force Wu Yun to become an immortal. For example, if he fails to resist the immortal calamity, Guang Weizi's true spirit will also be wiped out.
On the contrary, if he points the opportunity to the Luoshui Dragon Palace, which is guarded by the real dragon Ao Lie, and requires great effort to obtain it, Wu Yun will not suspect that there is a trap.
Of course, the old dragon in Luoshui must have offended Qingqiu Fox Fairy before, and he used Wu Yun to take revenge.
Wu Yun thought about it carefully, his face became even more miserable, and he felt that he, the most prestigious Yang God, was just a pawn in front of the immortals and demons.
No wonder no new person has ascended to the immortal throne in hundreds of thousands of years.
"Take good care of your mood today. Even if Qingqiu Fox Immortal's methods are all-powerful, you still need to survive the tribulation by yourself."
Zhou Yi's voice changed: "Of course, Pindao will give you a treasure to protect yourself, so it should be fine."
"It all depends on the arrangement of the Immortal."
Wu Yun made up his mind and lay down to watch the battle between the real immortal and the fox immortal.
The true immortal won, reincarnated safely, and kept his reputation for the rest of his life.
The Fox Fairy has won, and Wu Yun is no longer in the world. Not to mention the merits of conquering demons and exterminating demons for hundreds of years, he may still commit heinous crimes.
…
The torture chamber.
In Cell A No. 1.
Li Mu changed into the black clothes of a small official and wore a piece of green scale armor.
The blue-scale treasure armor has an extraordinary origin. It was a personal burial object in the tomb of a first-class warrior. Li Mu couldn't bear the treasure to be buried in the dust, so he borrowed it to wear.
The only function of the treasure armor is defense, it can receive the attack of the God-Refining Demon Lord.
Back then, when Li Mu was being chased by the Black Evil Lord, he was able to persist in reaching the court for reinforcements, all thanks to the protection of the Green Scale Armor.
Li Mu took out the jade plaque he wore around his neck and prayed respectfully: "Taizu bless you!"
Then he entered the tunnel by familiar means. After a few days, he was sure that Emperor Jingtai found nothing unusual and came to the underground of Demon Refining Cave again.
Li Mu didn't notice that a strand of hair was attached to the hem of his clothes, mixed with the black silk thread.
The hair did not fall down like before, but followed Li Mu into the center of the formation.
After a while.
Li Mu once again saw the vast expanse of bones, surging like waves in a lake, constantly hitting the formation, making bursts of roaring sounds.
The demons and ghosts that the Demon Slayer Division has killed for hundreds of years are all gathered here, millions of them.
There are only a dozen or so formations left to break before the sea of bones.
Li Mu looked solemn, kept reciting the Heart-Cleaning Mantra silently, and began to break the formation.
The first few hundred layers were successfully cracked, and the remaining dozen layers were broken without incident. Three hours later, Li Mu successfully opened a passage to the interior of the Demon Refining Cave.
"call"
Li Mu took a deep breath, holding the jade tablet in one hand and the Vajra Divine Seal in the other, and stepped into it.
Numerous bones, stacked one on top of another, formed a Lake of Bones, and Li Mu was on the lake.
As soon as he entered, a strong and sinister aura rushed over him, trying to penetrate into Li Mu's body from anywhere.
The Vajra Divine Seal turned into a shield of Buddha's light, protecting Li Mu's whole body, and the array of Sanskrit sounds blocked out the evil spirits.
Li Mu circulated his true energy in the air and did not dare to touch the surface of the Bone Lake, lest a terrifying demon would emerge and pull him in to become one of them.
Emperor Jingtai would come at any time, so he didn't dare to waste time and flew the core along the way.
After a while.
I saw a huge lotus in the distance, standing in the middle of Baigu Lake. Eight emerald green lotus leaves float on the lake. Among them, one lotus stands several feet high, with a dark flower bud at the top half open and half closed.
Li Mu flew into the sky above Huagu Duo and looked inside. There were eight ripe lotus seeds in total, and the ninth lotus seed was still half green and half black.
"There's only one missing, no more than ten years!"
Li Mu's face showed surprise, shock, and mostly hesitation and greed.
Boom!
A loud noise came from the lake, and then an emerald green coffin emerged from the water.
The pattern of this coffin is exactly the same as that of a lotus leaf, so it should be made from lotus leaves.
The coffin seemed to sense Li Mu's presence, so it rose into the air and hit Li Mu's head.
In silence, the surrounding world was completely imprisoned.
Li Mu couldn't use any escape techniques and could only watch the coffin come crashing down.
"Greetings to the ancestor!"
Li Mu held up a jade plaque with a simple shape and the character "李" engraved on it.
The coffin stopped in the air, and a sharp sound came from it, like gold and iron scraping together, it was extremely harsh and unpleasant.
"Who are you?"
"Direct bloodline of Taizu, the 162nd generation grandson!"
As Li Mu spoke, he cut his finger and a drop of blood fell on the coffin.
"Descendants..."
The voice was intermittent: "Get out of here...the royal family...are not allowed to enter!"
"Taizu, future generations please make the decision!"
Li Mu suddenly looked sad, knelt down with a bang, and kowtowed to the coffin.
"What's wrong……"
The voice is sometimes deep and sometimes high-pitched.
"Taizu, you don't know something. The royal family is no longer your direct bloodline!"
"Zhongzong Guangming was originally just a side branch and had little to do with the royal bloodline. However, relying on his strength, he forcibly subdued the clan and forced the late emperor to abdicate. Later, the Taizu bloodline was expelled from the family tree and relegated to a side branch... …”
Li Mu wiped away his tears and said while swallowing: "When my grandson was a boy, he didn't have enough to eat or wear, so he had to go to the streets to beg for food. It's because His Majesty suppressed your direct bloodline."
The voice in the coffin was silent for a moment, and finally uttered two words.
"go out……"
Li Mu said that the direct bloodline of Taizu was more than a hundred generations away from Taizu, which was further than relatives that could not be reached with eight poles.
If the person in the coffin is Li Hong, the founder of Dagan, and the current ruler is a direct descendant or collateral line, it makes no difference to him, as long as Dagan is stable.
Li Mu had expected this long ago, and he talked about blood ties in order to save his life and continue to communicate.
"Taizu, you don't know that the current emperor has ignored the government affairs in order to seek immortality, and practiced Taoism in Wanshou Palace every day..."
"Now there are rebellions everywhere in Dagan, and demons are rampant and harming people..."
Li Mu said: "If this continues, Dagan will inevitably collapse, and the foundation you created will all be in vain."
There was silence in the coffin, and no one continued to drive Li Mu away, waiting for him to finish.
"My grandson is your direct bloodline, I only ask you to give me the fairy lotus. As long as the difference between immortals and mortals is broken, you will definitely bless Dagan to return to the peak of national strength..."
Seeing that there was still no movement in the coffin, Li Mu gritted his teeth and circulated his true energy, and a jade cicada slowly flew out from his forehead.
"Grandfather, I know you are trapped in the coffin and cannot be free. My ancestors have passed down a great wish that no matter how much it costs, I must help you regain freedom..."
"This jade cicada is the life treasure of the true immortal. After refining it, you can use the magical power of shedding the shell and live in the jade cicada, which is equivalent to living a new life."
After Li Mu finished speaking, all means had been used. If he still couldn't gain the trust of the grandfather, he could only... change the time to steal!
After a while.
A harsh voice came from the coffin: "Can you really shed the shell and be reborn?"
"Grandfather dare not deceive the ancestor. The true immortal who refined this treasure is my grandson's previous life!"
Li Mu revealed one of his big secrets: "Grandfather is the reincarnation of a true immortal, but the true spirit in the previous life was tortured by reincarnation, and the personality collapsed, leaving only a memory."
