…………
Seven days later, on the bank of the small river in Longxia Village, Zhaojiaao, the three thatched houses that had disappeared for several months returned, but there were two pieces of white paper on the closed door, and an oil lamp that no one lit hung on the lintel...
On the slope not far from the thatched house, more than a dozen villagers were burying two coffins. Some elders in the village were chanting and sighing, some were covering the coffins with soil, and some were scattering paper money...
In this busy crowd, Lin Yi, who had changed into a gray Taoist robe, stood alone in silence. He had a hemp rope wrapped around his waist, one hand behind his back, and the other holding a willow wood soul flag, his face as gloomy as water...
Some people are blind, but their hearts are bright! Some people have double pupils, but their hearts are confused...
The moment the old woman fainted, she had noticed something. She didn't want to wake up from the dream...
It was such an old woman from a farm who gave him the love that Lin Yi had never had before! But he couldn't call her "mother"!
He had lived for hundreds of years in vain, experienced countless joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, and separations of life and death, but he still couldn't get rid of worldly thoughts! In the days when he was with Li Wenshi day and night, he couldn't help but rely on his status and had the idea of repaying his gratitude. And when he, Lin Yi, looked down at an old woman from a farm with compassion, the other party also tolerated everything with the heart of a loving mother, and looked down at her "big head" with her blind eyes...
Lin Yi! Lin Yi! You can be frivolous and domineering, but you can't be so self-reliant that you forget the fundamentals of being a human being!
Old lady Li, please don't say words of gratitude! Your kindness is as high as the sky and as deep as the earth, and Lin Mou will benefit from it endlessly!
It's just that Lin Mou is too serious, lacks the opportunity to be free and lively, and lacks the fun of leisure and calmness, so he draws a circle to deceive himself! You must know that only when the wind is light can you be free; only when the clouds are light can you be free and at ease...
In the moment of enlightenment, it was as if the last layer of invisible shackles was quietly collapsing. Lin Yi felt that his whole body was light, his soul was blending with the world, and his mind was flying...
Just at this moment, three figures appeared in the sky. Perhaps seeing the funeral below, they did not rush to show up, but stood quietly in the air...
Lin Yi ignored the three people and slowly turned to the two newly built graves. The two tombstones in front had the names of Li Wenshi and Li Datou respectively. Li Datou's remains were moved back from the border, and he wanted the mother and son to stay together and never separate again...
"A filial son pays homage and thanks..."
The old man in the village shouted weakly.
Lin Yi walked forward with the soul flag, raised his hand and said: "Thank you all, fellow villagers! Here is some tea money, just to express my gratitude!" There was a purse in his right hand, which contained hundreds of taels of silver.
The old man took the purse and exclaimed in surprise. This young Li family member of unknown origin was really generous! If I had known this, I should have invited more people, and the banquet would have been necessary, and it would have been lively with music and music...
Lin Yi gently inserted the soul flag in his hand into the soil, and then placed the patched Taoist robe in front of Li Wen's tombstone, and then he knelt down with his clothes. After bowing respectfully several times, he went to Li Datou's grave and bowed his hands in greeting.
The villagers were still at a loss for a bag of silver, and they stayed where they were and did not leave. No one knew about the abnormality in the sky.
After a while, Lin Yi turned around, waved his hand and said, "You may come to pay respects at the end of the year and the beginning of the year. It is not only for the friendship of fellow townsmen, but also for helping Lin a lot! Goodbye!" As he said that, he pulled the hemp rope around his waist, raised his eyebrows slightly, and flew off the ground with his head held high.
Immortal! The old man from Longxia Village was stunned, holding the money bag and kneeling down...
In a flash, Lin Yi arrived on the floating cloud in the sky. He paused for a moment, glanced sideways, and said lightly: "Since you know what's good for you, I won't kill anyone today!" After that, he flashed through the air and disappeared.
A hundred feet away, the three monks of the Shinto sect were shocked. The Yuanying elder among them was stunned for a long time, and then he said in a lost voice: "The Shinto sect, a disaster is coming..."
...
The valley 20,000 miles away was still white, and Lin Yi slowly descended from the sky. After a while, he stood in the air three feet above the ground, silently looking at a small bamboo pole on the snow. The fishing rod that used to be, there was no wire or hook...
After a moment of silence, Lin Yi suddenly disappeared into the ground. Until he reached a depth of a thousand feet, he quickly dug out a secret room of more than ten feet in size, set up a spirit gathering array and laid a thick layer of spirit stones, and then sat cross-legged leisurely. The surroundings were as dark as ink, but there was a red light flashing in his eyes...
The three infants had just recovered from a serious illness, and their qi was no longer obstructed. Although they were still exhausted, they had recovered to their previous cultivation.
Not only that, the cultivation and realm of the three infants were still slowly improving, which made people unable to stop. It was as if the sky was about to break, waiting for a cry that would shock the world!
After a while, Lin Yi closed his eyes slightly, and his mind was focused...
Three years later, Lin Yi opened his eyes from meditation, and a demonic, arrogant and peaceful look flashed alternately. He crossed his legs and did not move, but his body slowly rose into the air, and then he waved his sleeves, and millions of spirit stones poured out, and the secret room suddenly became several feet higher. But he was unwilling to give up, and took out the more than 20 pieces of top-grade spirit stones that he had treasured for hundreds of years, and embedded them into the array eyes of the spirit gathering array.
After his body landed, Lin Yi did not practice, but immersed his mind in the appendix of "Xuantian Heart Method" and the scriptures of "Dongzhen Sutra"...
The "Xuantian Heart Sutra" only has the method of refining Qi to the Nascent Soul, but then appends a brief description of the transformation of the spirit. After the transformation of the spirit, and continuing to practice to the integration of the body, the perception of the realm is crucial! As for what to do after the integration, it is too early to discuss it now.
It is said in the "Dongzhen Sutra" that the alchemy is divided into refining essence into Qi, refining Qi into spirit, refining spirit back to the void and refining the body. Qi is not the same as Qi. The former is the innate Qi, and the latter is the acquired Qi... Essence turns into Qi, Qi turns into spirit, spirit returns to the void, and the middle yellow goes straight through... My Yuanshen is always aware and bright, dominates in the meantime, and the nature is pure... It is the refining of Qi and the transformation of the spirit!
The "Dongzhen Sutra" not only has the essence of the transformation of the spirit, but also the practice of training the spirit back to the void and the integration of the body.
Refining Qi and transforming the spirit, the main quietness is established, and the Yuanshen is achieved.
Refining the body in the vacuum, burning the body to refine the essence, the soul leaves the body with the eyes as the mechanism, and finally the body and soul are integrated, the flesh body is completely transformed into dust Qi body, the soul is combined with the void, and the void is transformed into the soul, which is the transformation of the soul to refine the void!
Using nothingness as a bed, the universe as a room, breaking the void, the soul is not broken, this is the refining of the void and the fusion of the body!
Lin Yi wants to impact the threshold of the transformation of the god, but he has understood and pondered all kinds of cultivation methods such as the key points of refining the void and the fusion of the body, as well as the true mechanism of the fire. He is very determined in this retreat! Since there is dragon blood in the body to rely on, why not go all out and fight once!
Another three months passed, and Lin Yi felt that everything was ready. He made seals with his hands and gradually entered into a state of concentration...
...
This year, not long after the new king of Wugan ascended the throne, there was a sudden surge of wind and clouds in the sky more than 20,000 miles away from the capital. This lasted for more than a month, and then there were lightning and thunder for half a year. The natural phenomenon panicked the court and the public!
Fearing that the omen would come, the king would inevitably burn incense and pray, asking for the blessing of the ancestors and God! Even so, he was still worried and thought of the immortals worshipped by the royal family.
In a quiet room, an old man and a young man sat opposite each other.
The old man with a fairy-like appearance was Jiu Lingzi, the leader of the Shinto sect. His eyes were slightly closed and his expression was reserved.
The young man was thin and weak, about twenty years old. Although he was the king of a country, he asked carefully with a somewhat panicked look: "The thunder is rolling in the sky, and the court and the people are uneasy. A minister reported to the king that he was punished by heaven for his immorality. It is really absurd! May I ask the immortal, what is the meaning of the strange omen?"
This is to ask me to predict the good and bad luck! Jiu Lingzi opened his eyes slightly, held his long beard and pondered for a moment, then said in a profound and mysterious way: "The thunderstorm did not affect him, but his neighbor, so there is no harm!"
The king was slightly startled, then his face showed joy, and he said: "So, even if it is dangerous, there is no harm! Great! I will report this to my mother..." Before he finished speaking, he hurriedly got up and rushed out, and the two eunuchs and maids outside the door followed him in small steps.
Not long after, the king came to a palace with carved beams and painted rafters, and said to the back of a pair of mirrors dressing, "The immortal said that it was a thunderstorm caused by the neighboring country..." The other party slowly turned around, and it turned out to be a beautiful woman, with a graceful and elegant demeanor, and she was majestic without anger.
Seeing the young man lose his composure like this, the woman looked a little unhappy. She slowly adjusted her gorgeous dress, sat upright, and gently scolded: "Hmph! As the king of a country, there are rules for behavior. How can you be so blindly obedient?"
The king's expression froze, and he hurriedly took a step back, and then said with some timidity: "Report to the queen mother! The immortal said that if the shock does not affect him, it will not affect his neighbors!"
This beautiful woman is the queen mother of Wugan. Looking at her cowardly son, her expression eased a little, sighed softly, and said: "That's good! The queen mother has worked hard for your throne, and she is afraid of attracting the wrath of heaven and the resentment of people..."
At midnight, the lights in the palace were still swaying, but there was only a secluded pavilion shrouded in the night. On the towering platform, a man in a green robe sat alone in silence. The faint sound of thunder came from the horizon, which moved him secretly.
At this time, Jiu Lingzi emerged from the stairs not far away, bowed and said: "Disciple..."
"I have never thought of accepting a disciple..." The man in green robe frowned slightly, still looking into the distance.
In the darkness, Jiu Lingzi smiled disapprovingly, bowed and said: "Thanks to the senior's support, I should be a disciple!"
The man turned around and was a middle-aged man with three long beards. He looked elegant but depressed. He glanced at Jiu Lingzi lightly and said: "I am injured and stay here temporarily. I think of your careful care, so I give you some advice. But the master and disciple are based on fate, which cannot be forced!"
Jiu Lingzi's expression did not change, and he nodded respectfully. The other party invited him to sit down, and then said: "The yin energy in this palace is too heavy! The queen mother and the king are strong mother and weak son, it is inevitable that there will be more troubles! As a worshiper, you'd better not get involved in the dispute! You must know that harmony is the most precious..."
The old king died, and a group of princes and grandchildren had been arguing for the throne for many years, which inevitably set off a bloody storm. The current queen mother tightly grasped the big tree of royal worship, and finally got what she wanted.
Jiu Lingzi laughed and said: "What the senior said is very true! The king came to divine the good and bad luck before, but I sent him away casually! However, the thunder tribulation is really weird..."
"Thunder tribulation?" The middle-aged man turned to look into the distance. At the end of the night sky, light flashed and thunder was faint. He suppressed his throbbing heart and whispered, "It lasted for half a year. There were fifty-four, eighty-one, one hundred and six... one hundred and seven... one hundred and eight. There were a total of two hundred and forty-three heavenly thunders! Let me ask, who is going through the tribulation, and who can bear it?"
Hearing this, Jiu Lingzi changed color. Few people dared to come forward to watch the outsiders going through the tribulation. And this senior had been secretly watching from the balcony, so he must not be talking nonsense.
Oh my God! Is that still a person going through the tribulation? The Nascent Soul has 19 tribulations, the Transformation and Refining Void have 29 and 39 tribulations respectively, and the combined body has 49 and 36 tribulations! And 243 tribulations...
At this time, the noise suddenly faded away, and the world was quiet. In the night sky, the moon was high and the seven stars were shining!
Jiu Lingzi was still shocked, and the middle-aged man had stood up suddenly and exclaimed: "Seven stars accompany the moon..."
