On this day, there was a sudden muffled sound in the clouds, and within a moment, a cold drizzle began to fall.
It's always like this at the beginning of spring. From time to time, a burst of spring rain falls, which wakes up the people standing at the top of Chongyun Peak.
"It turns out it's been so long."
Qin Dengxiao suddenly broke away from his thoughts and was immersed in the aftertaste for a while. It took a while before it settled in his heart.
He opened his eyes, counted the time, and realized that a long time had passed. If it hadn't been for a spring rain, he might have been standing here for how long.
Qin Dengxiao shook his head, looked up, and his eyes were first attracted by the six words "Great Nanhua Cave", and he couldn't help but feel refreshed.
Since Dongtian was named, from then on, Qin Dengxiao was "a member of the Nanhua Dongtian lineage" and felt proud of himself.
However, under the 'Great Nanhua Cave Heaven', it was still the original cave. Qin Dengxiao was not surprised that the door happened to be wide open at this time. In fact, he and Yuan Hao were awakened by the spring rain at the same time, but he had other feelings and sorted them out for a while, so he opened the door Later, Yuan Hao was called into the mansion by Xue Yuren.
Qin Dengxiao straightened his clothes, flicked his clothes, and then stepped into the mansion. When he saw that Yuan Hao was already sitting under Xu Zhuang, he walked to Yuan Hao's side, bowed silently, and then lowered his hands to listen.
"Master." Yuan Hao lowered his head and said: "Although I was lucky enough to master the six seals, I can't study the "Taisu Invisible Sword Qi" thoroughly. "One discipline, the disciple already felt that his talent was limited, so he gave up the idea of studying the "Tai Su Yi Qi Jing" again."
Xu Zhuang nodded slightly. Practicing multiple Taoist methods is indeed something that no one can do. After all, Yuan Hao is different from him. He can understand that if he goes too far, he will suffer losses, which is not a bad thing.
What's more, learning the "Tai Su Zhen Xing Sutra" and moving forward with vigor and transformation will be extremely beneficial to Yuan Hao's foundation and sword skills. If Yuan Ying succeeds in the future, there may be opportunities for improvement.
"That's it." Xu Zhuang thought, and a prepared Taoist book and dozens of spiritual lights fell into Yuan Hao's hands, "Give me a Taoist book, a pod of Tianjing Zhensha, and a pod of Bingji Yuanjing, so that I can practice well." "
After Yuan Haoxin thanked him happily, he took half a step back, and Qin Dengxiao came forward to pay homage to Xu Zhuang.
After receiving the ceremony, Xu Zhuang asked: "Dengxiao, will you gain anything from watching the opening of the cave?"
"Master." Qin Dengxiao said: "Seeing the evolution of Taisu, I have learned a lot." He pondered for a moment, and then said: "After sorting out what I have learned, I should be able to break through the Nascent Soul."
He didn't say much about trying. With his talent, he had already been sure of cultivating the Nascent Soul, but now his savings were full and it was just a matter of time.
Seeing that he looked determined and confident, Xu Zhuang couldn't help but nodded secretly, then flicked his finger, and a dense talisman flew into his eyebrows, "This is the experience of the "Tai Su Yi Qi Sutra" annotated by the teacher and the "Xiantian Tai Tai". The secret of Su Yiqi's great capture was supposed to be passed on to you after you refine the Nascent Soul, but since you are sure of it, I will give it to you first."
Qin Dengxiao was slightly happy, and thanked Xu Zhuang with his hands, and said: "Disciple also has something to offer." After saying that, he took out a scroll from his sleeve and presented it with both hands: "This is when the disciple was traveling and accidentally entered the immortal mansion. What I get is that the disciple is stupid and never understands the mystery."
"Oh?" Xu Zhuang was slightly surprised. He waved his hand and the scroll flew up. When it flickered in the air, a landscape scroll with exquisite brushwork appeared.
"This is this?" Xu Zhuang's eyes narrowed slightly and he printed on the signature: "Donghuan Sanxian, Dadongxianren."
The so-called Donghuan seems to be a name for dividing various realms in the void in ancient times. However, this concept does not seem to be popular, and the coverage is very vague. But in short, the nearby world including Xuanhuang , can be counted as 'Donghuan'.
As for the title of Sanxian, it goes without saying. After Qin Dengxiao refined the high-grade golden elixir, his luck became more prosperous, and now he can even obtain the relics of Sanxian.
Xu Zhuangyuanshi glanced over the scroll, nodded thoughtfully, then put the scroll away with a thought, and said: "You are determined to ascend to the sky. If you gain something as a teacher, you will not be short of rewards."
Qin Dengxiao said hurriedly: "This disciple is out of filial piety, not hoping for rewards."
Xu Zhuang waved his hand and said nothing more. After Qin Dengxiao and Yuan Hao kowtowed and stepped back, he flicked his sleeves and turned into a stream of energy, disappearing from the main seat. However, he directly jumped across the space and entered the grand hall. There is a cave in Nanhua.
At this time, in the cave, the clear and turbid qi were clearly differentiated, and even thicker and thin, showing a blurry appearance. It turned out that after the opening of the Nanhua Cave, Xu Zhuang's Dharmakaya was taking care of things outside, but his body had already entered the cave. , try to regulate the cave.
However, even if the real Yuanshen regulates the changes in the clear and turbid qi, it will not take a day to completely take shape. Xu Zhuang did not devote himself to it. After all, after he cultivated the Yuanshen, not only many changes have not yet been sorted out, but also many changes have not yet been sorted out. His homework is waiting for him to do it one by one.
At this moment, Xu Zhuang is sitting upright in the air, with his legs crossed, and his hands making magic formulas. One hand is on his knees, and the other is raised in front of his shoulders. There seems to be no clue. If he looks at it again, he will definitely know. When I was shocked, I saw that from his neck up, there was nothing, and his head was nowhere to be found!
This is naturally not because Xu Zhuang made any mistakes in his performance, nor is it some heresy like the Flying Skull Technique, but because he is practicing the 'Tai Su Yuan Shen'.
The Yuanshen is made up of the Yuan Qi of the three treasures unified into one. Naturally, whatever mana he cultivates and what Taoist body he refines, after he refines the Yuanshen, it is possible to produce unique mysteries.
Of course, often at this time, the superiority of those who practice superior Taoism is revealed. For example, in Taisu Zongzong, those who practice Taisu Taoism are very clear about the mystery of how to cultivate the soul, how to practice, and even how to improve through secret methods.
According to records in the Taoist Book of Menzhong, those who practice the "Tai Su Yi Qi Jing" and cultivate the Tai Su Yuan Shen can increase the quality of their Yuan Qi, gain an upper hand among their peers, and even develop the ability to perform as they wish, in both large and small ways, and to control the heavens and the earth;
Those who practice "Tai Su Zhen Xing Sutra" can cultivate Tai Su Yuanshen, which can increase their mental power and enable them to change in a thousand ways, including their own body, other objects, living things, dead objects, long and short, existence and non-existence, and their wonderful uses are endless;
Those who practice "Tai Su Intangible Sword Qi" and become Tai Su Yuanshen can cultivate the supreme sword Qi. They can flick their fingers like flying swords and resemble their true form at every turn. If they use the flying swords to perform sword skills, they can greatly benefit from the flying swords. force;
Others, such as the intangible nature of changes, the intangible nature of comings and goings, the operation of Taoism, the total capture of the original essence... and so on, are countless, all of which depend on one's own merits.
Although Xuzhuang's practice is complicated, the three true traditions of Taisu have always been his fundamental Taoism. It is natural to refine Taisu Yuanshen to achieve various wonderful things. What's more, he has obtained the first rank in the world since the opening of the cave. According to the secret method of the sect, this process can be greatly accelerated by using this object as a guide.
Of course, for Master Yuanshen, even the 'extremely fast' time often lasts for hundreds of years. Master Yuanshen not only achieved immortality, but also the dimension of time seemed to be separated from that of ordinary monks, sitting and lying down. Maybe it’s the changing world.
I don't know how long it took, but Xu Zhuang's disappeared body had spread from his head to his feet, and it was as if his whole person had really disappeared here. This was no longer a simple method of concealment, but a real transformation into something invisible and insubstantial. , even if other real Yuanshen were invited here, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to find any clues.
Xu Zhuang's state at this time was also very mysterious. He noticed that he seemed to be unable to touch all tangible and qualitative things. He seemed to have transformed into "Tai Su", and even wanted to break away from reality even more and go straight to " Go away without a trace.
Feeling this wonderful feeling, Xu Zhuang couldn't help but think: "It seems that this state is also beneficial to the practice of Taoism... However, I'm afraid it can't really last too long."
It seemed quite contradictory, but he felt that if he remained intangible and insubstantial for too long, he might be in danger of not being able to return. This made him think of the legend that Taoist Yang Zhen, who had survived three disasters, also transformed into a Taoist form. The danger is that the journey of seeking the Tao is indeed difficult and dangerous at every turn.
With a thought in Xu Zhuang's mind, he suddenly exited the formless state, and his soul instantly connected with the heaven and earth again. Then he raised his finger again, and a sword light shot up, killing the turbid air that had condensed below... At this time, the evolution of Dongtian may be set back several years.
However, apart from the increase in power, no other changes could be seen for the time being. Xu Zhuang shook his head and took the sword energy back into his body, turning it into Yuan Qi again, without any loss at all.
Xu Zhuang pondered for a moment, then performed another magic trick, and then he saw that his figure began to shrink, and the pores that had long since existed began to open again, and fluffy hair grew. After a while, he turned into a black and white raccoon slave. , that is, as the saying goes, 'dark clouds cover snow'.
Different from blindness, this is an almost essential change. His Yuan Shen was hidden deepest, and Yuan Qi turned into flesh and blood again. Even if his spiritual consciousness and Yuan consciousness were swept away, he was still a harmless kitten.
"Is this the ever-changing nature of the True Form?" Xu Zhuang raised his paws and looked at it. He couldn't help but feel a bit of novelty. If Xu Zhuang wanted to, he could also transform into a spiritual beast, a dragon, a roc, or even blend into the ethnic group. There is absolutely no clue to be found.
No wonder it is said in the Taoist scriptures that when one has practiced the "Tai Su Zhen Xing Jing" to a high level, one has the ability to refine falsehoods into truths. How is it different from refining falsehoods into truths with such magical power?
Tai Su Yuan Shen has free form and quality, ever-changing, and is indeed extremely mysterious.
However, when Xu Zhuang was about to study further, he suddenly felt something in his heart. He stopped the transformation of Xuan Gong and transformed into his original body again. At this time, he recalled the Dharma Body, took a look at the landscape scroll of Immortal Dayin, and put it in his sleeve.
Xu Zhuang's three-yuan elephant body is divided into two parts and has one heart. Naturally, he did not stop working for this object, so he made a secret to guide the disturbed clear and turbid Qi back to the right track. Only then did he leave the cave and almost reach the sky. At the same time, a little spiritual light came from outside.
Xu Zhuang had already expected it. He raised his hand to catch it, and a flying book appeared in his palm. He unfolded it and took a look. It turned out to be a message from the Dharma Hall.
Since he received the main seal of the Dharma Hall, he has not been to the Dharma Hall yet, which seems to be a bit derelict in his duty.
"That's all." Xu Zhuang's thoughts changed and a smile appeared on his face, "You might as well go and take a look at the magic weapon in the palace."
All the dharma objects in the Taisu Sect are managed by the Shangfa Hall, and the magic weapons are also included in the category. Logically speaking, all the magic weapons in the Shangfa Hall are now under his control.
Of course, those magic weapons are the sect's wealth after all, and he can just misappropriate a few of them. If he wants to use them at will or line his own pockets, that is absolutely impossible.
Xu Zhuang flicked his sleeves, rode up on the mist, and passed through several layers of clouds. Soon he reached the boundary of the three halls, and the clouds fell in front of the Shangfa Hall.
Before going to the Dharma Hall, two elders were already waiting. They hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "I have seen Master Daomiao."
Xu Zhuang nodded and said, "You two are excused."
He also worked in the Shangshi Hall and knew that these two should be the elders of the Shangfa Hall. Their duty is to assist the director of the Shangfa Hall. In addition, the other elders in the Shangfa Hall are all lower halls. Responsibilities of the Palace Master.
The two elders were named Han Yigong and Feng Shixue respectively. After bowing, they asked again: "Is the master going to summon the elders in the palace to see you?"
"No, just keep everything as usual." Xu Zhuang waved his hand and walked past the two of them into the palace. Han Yigong quickly followed and asked, "Dare I ask the real person, how does the true disciple Zhou Jun choose the magic weapon?"
Xu Zhuang smiled slightly and responded: "There's no rush."
The flying letter he received was from Han Yigong, saying that Zhou Jun, the true disciple, had made great contributions and wanted to give a magic weapon to the sect. However, the two of them did not dare to make the decision, so they summoned Xu Zhuang.
As they were talking, they had already reached the back of the palace. Seeing this, Han Yigong had no choice but to say yes and wink at Feng Shixue. The two of them stopped here, bowing their heads and waiting. The back hall is where magic weapons are stored. Although the two of them are elders, they are not qualified to enter.
Xu Zhuang was not surprised. He walked straight to the back hall. The seal of the master of the above Dharma Hall sealed the restriction. Then he opened the door and entered. He saw dozens of jade pillars in the hall, only a small half of which contained magic weapons. Not only was there a heavy formation, To protect, there is also a steady stream of pure essence drawn from nowhere to provide restricted nourishment.
After opening his Dharma Eyes and taking a closer look, most of them are treasures that Xu Zhuang has seen before, but one piece is missing, the 'Tai Su Yuan True Invisible Sword'. As far as Xu Zhuang knows, this invisible sword has been completed. Think of Zhang Tingxian. It is not difficult to come to a conclusion about cultivating spiritual treasures...
Xu Zhuang shook his head and walked around the hall before stopping in front of the Yuanyuan Cauldron.
Xu Zhuang certainly has no shortage of magical weapons now. Even leaving aside the Hunyuan boy and the Taiyi boy, he even has an ancestor's robe that he has not yet refined.
Of course, these days, he already knows that this robe is made of very precious treasures and a very special method. Although it is a magic weapon, it has no spirituality and has no possibility of refining it into its true form. It's hard to say whether it's worth it.
As for why Xu Zhuang stopped in front of the Yin Yuan Ding, this tripod is a treasure of cultivation and can help monks accumulate a large amount of Yuan Qi in a short period of time. Now that Xu Zhuang has become Yuan Shen, it is the time when the rise is endless, and this tripod is perfect. used by him.
And as long as Yin Yuanding is still in the Shangfa Hall, he can borrow his position as the master of the Shangfa Hall in Xu Zhuang.
However, he had to wait for Zhou Jun to pick out the magic weapon first. With Xu Zhuang's temperament, he would not do anything selfish.
As Xu Zhuang thought, his voice came out of the back hall and rang in the ears of Han Yigong and Feng Shixue: "Call Zhou Jun to the back hall."
