"The Heavenly Master asked you to come to me, but do you know the origin of the soul's escape from its shell?"
Liu Dongtian asked.
Zhang Chulan shook his head.
Liu Dongtian was a little tired and did not have the energy to teach the juniors, so he called Liu Xingyang: "Xingyang, come and explain to Chu Lan."
"yes"
Liu Xingyang, the sutra master of Baiyun Temple, has almost the same status in Baiyun Temple as Zhang Qianhe, the great disciple of Tianshi. Although he is not senior, he has high talent and deep cultivation. Many of his disciples are his disciples.
Liu Xingyang is very familiar with Quanzhen stories: "The soul escapes from its shell. This word comes from the story of Tieguai Li, the head of the Eight Immortals. You should have heard it. It is said that his soul left his body and went to the Huashan Immortal Association of Laojun. He ordered his disciples to guard the flesh shell. , and he will return in seven days. If he does not return in seven days, he will have his body burned by his disciples."
"As a result, on the sixth day, news of mourning came from the apprentice's home. The apprentice was so anxious that he finally burned the master's body in a hurry and went home. As a result, Li Xian, who returned on the seventh day, could only find an ugly, pacing and hungry person to hide in. Become the legendary Tieguai Li."
After briefly summarizing the story of Tieguai Li, Liu Xingyang changed his tone: "But this is just a commonplace drama. In fact, just like the original purpose of Journey to the West, the story of the Eight Immortals also contains the key to Quanzhen cultivation."
"The first one refers to sexual power. Don't let your soul escape from its shell. I would like to remind Quanzhen disciples that when your power is insufficient, you should not rush to try to create the Yang Shen and resist your desires. Although the Immortal Society is wonderful, don't be greedy."
"In both lives, never give up the basics and chase the weak. I remind Quanzhen disciples that tempering the body lies in laying a solid foundation, not whitewashing the walls. A beggar with a shaggy head can achieve enlightenment. The Eight Golden Kings are stronger than the Clay Bodhisattva."
"So the Essence of the Soul is not a good word in Quanzhen. It refers to the bitter consequences of a disciple with poor skills rashly emerging from the Yangshen, resulting in the Yangshen being unable to return to the physical body. I don't understand why the Heavenly Master asked you to come to Quanzhen to seek the origin." What does it mean to "come out of one's shell"? This is synonymous with being obsessed in Quanzhen."
Zhang Chulan couldn't tell. The Heavenly Master just told them to come to Liu Dongtian to help their souls escape.
"That was before, so that's how it is." Liu Dongtian suddenly chuckled, and realized the taste: "Now that the underworld is born, if the soul is thrown out of its shell and the body is extinguished, as if the soul of the body has died, it is really possible to attract evil spirits. If he is sent to capture the soul, he can naturally blend into the underworld."
"No wonder the Heavenly Master asked you to come look for me. There are many techniques that can blow the soul out of the body, but they are all killing methods and will cause damage to the soul. Only the Quan Zhen Chu Yang Shen can escape unscathed. I am the only one in Sijiu City who can make the soul leave the body and help others emerge from the Yangshen!"
"It's really difficult for the Heavenly Master to think of a way to truly escape from the underworld from Quanzhen's way of becoming possessed."
Liu Dongtian laughed at Lu Jin: "Old Lu, despite the flashy clothes you wear all day long, you are actually the most traditional in your heart. The disciple rules of the Lu family are engraved in your bones. You respect your teachers and love your children. You will never forget your grudges. In fact, your actions are the most traditional." rule."
"Let's look at the Heavenly Master. He has lived in the mountains for a long time and has not lived in the world. But he is a truly flexible person. He can see everything clearly and let it go. He can think of any method."
"Hmph." Lu Jin snorted lightly without retorting.
After all, he was a hundred years old, so Lu Jin naturally heard the underlying meaning of Liu Dongtian's words.
The Trinity Sect has been destroyed for a century, and Wugen’s life and death are uncertain. You, Lu Jin, may be the only person related to what happened back then. Why don't you let go and insist on making things difficult for yourself?
Seeing that Lu Jin was still silent, Liu Dongtian sighed secretly, knowing that Lu Jin was still worried about what happened to the Trinity Sect.
Wu Gensheng first broke into the Trinity Sect and killed Lu Jin's master, the leader of the Trinity Sect, Daying Immortal Zuo Ruotong, and the Trinity Sect was disbanded.
In order to take revenge, Lu Jin summoned the remaining disciples of the Trinity Sect to besiege Wu Gensheng. As a result, all the remaining disciples of the Trinity Sect, except Lu Jin, died at the hands of Wu Gensheng.
But what Liu Dongtian didn't know was that Lu Jin ignored Zheng Zibu's request for help in order to take revenge. As a result, Zheng Zibu died tragically at the hands of those who were greedy for "Tong Tian Lu", and even his hometown village was destroyed.
Having not only felt sorry for his brother, but also harmed his master, how could Lu Jin not feel regretful and remorseful? After years of regret, this incident had already become his inner demon.
Liu Dongtian didn't have the strength to persuade Lu Jin anymore, so he asked Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao to come forward, and dismissed the other Baiyun Gatekeepers who he felt were in the way.
Liu Xingyang still wanted to stay and take care of Liu Dongtian, but he was driven away by Liu Dongtian: "What are you doing here? It would be great if Lao Lu is here to protect the law. You are as good as Lao Lu? I have said everything I need to say. Just do as you are told, why do you have to watch me close my eyes before you are willing to do it?"
"Let's go, let's go!"
Liu Xingyang had no choice but to pull the other brothers and leave. Only Lu Jin, Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao were left in the house. Even Lu Linglong was temporarily kicked out by Lu Jin.
"Chu Lan, there is a sandalwood box in the middle drawer of the bookshelf on the south wall. Take it over."
Liu Dongtian panted and said to Zhang Chulan quickly. He felt that his physical strength was disappearing as quickly as the water stains on the table. If he dragged on, he might not have the strength to help Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao escape from their shells.
Zhang Chulan found the sandalwood box that Liu Dongtian mentioned. The wooden box was pull-out and was not big, about the same size as two folding fans stacked together. However, there was a smell inside the box that calmed Zhang Chulan's mind after just one sniff. The fragrance of meditation.
Lu Jin's nose twitched, and then complained: "It's the Xinxiang of the Gao family's soul-raising, you miser, at this time, you are still hiding this thing, don't you know how to enjoy it!"
Liu Dongtian smiled: "This thing is not of much use to me, so what else can I enjoy? It's better to leave it to future generations."
"Chu Lan took out the incense from the wooden box and lit it."
"Okay." Zhang Chulan glanced around and saw the three-legged incense burner on the altar table.
Opening the wooden box, the aroma was fragrant. Zhang Chulan took out three incense sticks, lit them with matches next to the incense burner, and inserted them firmly into the incense burner.
The smoke curls up, like clouds, mist, mountain mist, and swimming fish, lingering around the beams of the house and lingering for a long time.
Feng Baobao curiously fanned it with his hand: "It smells good, it feels like I'm soaking in a hot spring for the soul, it's warm."
Zhang Chulan followed suit, and then wondered: "Really? Why can't I feel it?"
Liu Dongtian said: "The soul-nourishing incense can warm and nourish the soul, but it can only be clearly felt after the Yang Shen is released and the soul leaves the body. It is normal that you can't feel it. This Miss Feng can feel it. It can only prove that her six senses are sharp and her soul is powerful, and she can still feel changes in the outside world even if she is blocked by her physical body."
"This is harder than sitting in a room with the doors and windows closed and feeling the south wind blowing outside."
Liu Dongtian looked at Feng Baobao and said, "Little girl, your spirit is strong and I can operate it better. You go first."
The kernels are larger and easier to peel, just like ugly oranges are easier to peel than golden oranges.
Feng Baobao sat cross-legged in front of Liu Dongtian. Liu Dongtian picked up a Qi and hit Feng Baobao on the forehead.
The air waves blew up Feng Baobao's long hair. It is different from blowing one's breath and forcibly blowing out other people's soul. Even if the soul comes out of the body, it will be drowsy and confused.
Liu Dongtian used soft energy, which was like lubricating oil and attached to Feng Baobao's soul, allowing her soul to slide out of the body from the Tianling Gate on its own, which was the so-called Yin Shen's shelling.
But before Feng Baobao's soul could completely slide out, the soul suddenly retracted. Feng Baobao blinked, not knowing what happened.
Liu Dongtian's eyes instantly became serious, and Zhang Chulan quickly asked: "Master, what happened?"
"Miss Feng's soul is so special. It seems to be stuck with the physical body, just like the legendary Huangdi's daughter Hanba who resurrected from the dead. If her soul is pulled out by force, I'm afraid it will hurt her."
"Then there's no need for Sister Bao'er to go. Sister Bao'er, just wait for me at Baiyun Temple."
Worried that Liu Dongtian would notice the strangeness of Feng Baobao's body, Zhang Chulan tried to cover it up. After all, Master Liu Dongtian is about to die, but there is also Mr. Lu Jinlu beside him.
Feng Baobao didn't care whether he went or not: "Okay."
Liu Dongtian was curious: "Miss Feng, who is your master?"
Feng Baobao read out the answer he had agreed with Zhang Chulan before: "My master won't let me tell others his identity."
"I'm worried that I'll cause him trouble in the company."
Isn’t Dudong a serious company? How could he cause trouble?
Lu Jin knew a little about the nature of Feng Baobao's work as a temporary worker, so he started to excuse Feng Baobao: "Okay, there are so many problems for a dying person. If the girl doesn't want to talk, don't force her."
Liu Dongtian nodded: "That's the truth. Chu Lan, come here."
Feng Baobao got out of the way, and Zhang Chulan sat here obediently, slowly touching his forehead with a bright hand. The familiar scene reminded him of the time when the Heavenly Master tried to deliver salvation to him at Longhu Mountain not long ago.
Now that I think about it, only a few months have passed since that scene.
'So much has happened in such a long time, I thought it had been years. '
"Okay, Chu Lan, stand up."
Liu Dongtian's voice interrupted Zhang Chulan's reverie. He subconsciously stood up according to Liu Dongtian's instructions, but he floated directly to the ceiling. He could only see the back of his head getting further and further away from him.
Zhang Chulan raised his translucent hands and crossed the beam: "I'm coming out right now."
Liu Dongtian said: "Of course, you are a disciple of Longhu Mountain, what else can happen to you?"
Zhang Chulan said curiously: "Master, you seem to have gained a lot of energy."
Liu Dongtian pointed to his body on the bed calmly: "I'm already dead, so I'm naturally full of energy."
······
On the ground, Feng Baobao poked Zhang Chulan's face, because she just suddenly felt that after Zhang Chulan's soul came out of its shell, the silent Qi in her body suddenly started beating, like the first heartbeat of a newborn baby.
The Qi beat more and more like death. After the Qi penetrated the whole body along the meridians, 'Zhang Chulan' suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were clear and bright.
'Zhang Chulan' and Feng Baobao were sitting on the ground, looking at each other curiously.
Liu Dongtian was silent for a moment: "You two were sent by Heavenly Master to play with me, right?"
After repairing the rusty iron, I was stunned.
I guessed wrong! The demon sword was not taken away by Lu Ci and was actually left in the northeast.
I guessed wrong myself, but the Ichthyosaurus Club in my novel really guessed it right. The demon sword is very likely to be in the sword tomb of the Gao family.
Complex inside.
