Longhu Mountain.
There are towering green peaks, flying pavilions and flowing elixirs, and they are all Taoist temples and towers.
There are birds and animals running around in the forest, and the smell is pleasant.
Although it is the ancestral court of the Taoist sect, there are still smoke rising from the kitchens between the palaces. This is the alchemy palace where elixirs are being burned.
In the courtyard.
Phew~~
Chen Xixiang exhaled a long breath.
This ball of air was like a white rolling thunder, rolling in the air in front of him.
Then it couldn't dissipate within four or five breaths.
At this time, an old Taoist walked in and saw this scene. He was shocked and admired:
"Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of the Wudang sect, created the ape strike technique and Tai Chi. His internal organs are so powerful that he can see that the gods are indestructible, but his breath is just like a sword. When you breathe out, it is like a thunderbolt rolling in your chest. , it takes five breaths to disperse.”
"I truly believe that your cultivation has far surpassed that of Bodhidharma, Zhang Sanfeng, Lu Dongbin, Peng Zu and other seniors in history."
The old Taoist who spoke was Zhang Yuanxu, the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain.
Longhu Mountain belongs to the ancestral court of Taoism. A few decades later in history, when Baldou was defeated, in order to demonstrate his orthodox status, he took away three representatives of the Chinese religious tradition.
This **** is the head of the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, the Confucian family of Qufu, Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain, and a living Buddha.
Among them is the son of the person in front of me.
When Chen Xixiang heard Zhang Tianshi's admiration, he smiled and said nothing, showing no humility.
If we only talk about this time and space, then what Master Zhang Tianshi said is correct.
He has indeed surpassed the realm of the ancestors of various religions in this time and space, reaching a realm almost on the same level as Buddha Sakyamuni.
After entering the realm of immortality, Chen Xixiang had forty teeth replaced in his mouth. Coupled with the body protection of Zhenqi, it was even more miraculous than the Sakyamuni who lived on earth more than 2,000 years ago.
After leaving Tianjin, it has been a month since he came to Longhushan to place orders.
Within this month, he completely digested the gains from the battle with the Black Mountain Old Demon.
As the best master in the world in the original time and space.
The secrets of the Black Mountain Demon’s boxing skills, inheritance, soul, etc. were all revealed to Chen Xixiang after Chen Xixiang fought against him.
Others might not be able to do it.
But with the Dao Jade Disc, the "number one in deduction" eternal artifact, in hand, after a fight, one can easily see the whole thing at a glance.
It can be said that Chen Xixiang learned all the boxing skills, spiritual powers, and other moves that the old demon from Black Mountain displayed in the battle at Old Summer Palace.
The lifelong learning and accumulation of a former top player in the world is simply an immeasurable meal, and it is even more delicious.
After a few casual words with Zhang Tianshi.
Master Tian goes straight to the point:
"I didn't come here specifically to disturb your practice today, but as early as half a year ago, the old Taoist made an appointment with Master Shi Chuanyin for an alchemy ceremony, and ordered the alchemy room to refine some elixirs. Master Chuanyin has arrived today. , I want to meet you to ask for advice on how to practice."
"Danyuan Dharma Assembly, a good name."
Chen Xixiang smiled when he heard the name of this Dan Dan Conference.
The big bosses in mythology all have their own banquet names. For example, the Queen Mother has the Peach Blossom Party, the Tathagata Buddha has the Bon Bon Party, and the Supreme Lord has the Danyuan Party. They are all gatherings where immortals and gods from all walks of life are invited to taste good things.
Zhang Tianshi promoted Chen Xixiang as a supreme being and a descendant of the mortal world. Therefore, even this alchemy society chose the same "Alchemy Yuan" as the name of the Taishang Laojun in the myth, which shows that Zhengzheng Yiyiyi has good intentions.
"Shi Chuan Yin, he must be the one from the Zen sect of China among the one demon, two Buddhas and three immortals in the world."
Chen Xixiang knew who was coming.
One of the two Buddhas, Zhongtu Shichuan Seal.
Zhang Tianshi nodded and said: "Master Chuanyin has a close relationship with the old Taoists. He has not entered any temple. He practices ascetic Zen and has a noble character. Therefore, he is praised as a representative of Zen Buddhism in China. He can fully shoulder the responsibility of being one of the two Buddhas." The title is actually me. I am very ashamed to live in the Three Immortals."
He shook his head and sighed.
Chen Xixiang laughed and said: "Master, why do you have to be so humble? Your ability to make alchemy and draw talismans is enough to make you proud of the world's martial arts. In the eyes of outsiders, how are you different from an immortal?"
During this period of living, in addition to what he gained from the Black Mountain Old Demon, Chen Xixiang's biggest gain was that Zhang Tianshi opened all the Taoist classics belonging to the Tianshi Mansion to Chen Xixiang.
As a complete inheritance for more than two thousand years, the number of collections in the Tianshi Mansion is unmatched by any Taoist sect in the world.
This is due to its status as the ancestral home of Taoism and the tradition of a single lineage of Zhang Tianshi, which has preserved many precious things.
For example, the alchemy and talisman painting are not deceptive tricks played by Taoist priests in the mountains, but they are real things.
The elixir refined by Master Zhang can only be eaten by those who practice it. Ordinary people cannot even digest it.
However, the talisman paper can be used by ordinary people. It is a real amulet with a spiritual magnetic field. It can "remove diseases and eliminate disasters". It can be said that it is hard to find.
However, Zhang Tianshi shook his head:
"Compared to you, my meager cultivation is nothing."
As they spoke, the two people walked out of the single room of the Taoist temple and came to a large alchemy furnace hall. There was already a monk sitting there who looked to be only about sixty or seventy years old.
Chen Xixiang's eyes just fell on this person, and he could directly see through the other person's bone age and the aging life force and blood under the skin.
"One of the two Buddhas, Shi Chuan Seal... is actually so old."
He was a little surprised.
Because this man only looks young, but he is already a hundred years old. It is only because of martial arts training that he looks forty years younger.
I saw a young Taoist wearing Taoist robes walking over.
One of the two Buddhas, Shi Chuanyin, had cloudy eyes and narrowed his eyes slightly.
His Buddhist mind is strong, so what he perceives is not only the image of a young Taoist, but also the vast nature of heaven and earth, vast and dark, like a history book that has been deposited, with neither the beginning nor the end visible. .
But if you close your eyes, you will feel that these artistic conceptions have disappeared, as if there is no one in front of you.
The Shichuan Seal, one of the two Buddhas, has such a profound spiritual realm that it is only inferior to the old demon of Montenegro.
But after Chen Xixiang arrived, he couldn't feel anything when he closed his eyes.
"This is the unparalleled Heavenly Master and Taoist in the world. He is truly invincible."
Shi Chuanyin whispered in his heart, stood up with his hands clasped together, and saluted.
Chen Xixiang said: "Master, there is no need to be polite. The visitor is a guest. Since today is the Danyuan Dharma Assembly, we should focus on the elixir tasting."
"What I'm saying is, Tong'er, take my nine golden elixirs of essence and essence."
Zhang Tianshi laughed and immediately ordered the fire-burning boys in the palace to bring up all the elixirs and place them in front of them.
After a while.
The three people were like the three immortals on Penglai Island. In the hall filled with sandalwood, they each gently opened the alchemy furnace.
Chen Xixiang pinched out a pill and found that it didn't look like a pill at all, but like a jade. It was crystal clear, had a hard texture, and didn't reveal any smell on the outside.
This kind of elixir cannot be digested by ordinary people at all. Even those who practice martial arts must at least enter the realm of Gangjin to digest it.
This time the elixir was tasted by Chen Xixiang, the most unparalleled person in the world.
It was Master Zhang who spent seven, seven and forty-nine days refining these nine essence elixirs.
Its medicinal power, in this world, I am afraid that only the God of Immortality can fully digest and absorb its medicinal effects.
Chen Xixiang gently picked it up and put it into his mouth.
Gudong~
When this pill is taken into the stomach, it slides down from the esophagus, like a stone falling into a deep valley, making a sound!
GuLongLong~~
Immediately afterwards, Chen Xixiang's large and small intestines began to wriggle together and began to digest the pill.
A surge of medicinal power was immediately felt.
Ordinary people will blush and have nosebleeds on the spot if they eat ten large ginseng pills in one meal.
Naturally, after taking the Shi Chuan Yin and Zhang Tianshi of this Jing Yuan Great Pill, they began to react.
White air came out from the tops of Zhang Tianshi and Shi Chuanyin's heads.
Only Chen Xixiang was fine.
After more than a dozen breaths, he had digested the power of one pill and was amazed that it was indeed a secret elixir from the Tianshi Mansion.
He has not completely cut off grains in his current practice, so he still needs to eat, but ordinary grains can no longer supplement his needs.
And with this pill, one pill can prevent him from eating for three months, and he can still have enough energy to maintain his peak!
I saw that the other two people were still using their internal organs and muscles to digest the elixir.
Chen Xixiang was not in a hurry, so he sat aside and slowly sipped tea.
Phew~
When Zhang Tianshi opened his eyes again, it was already half an hour later.
It took him half an hour to completely digest half of the medicinal power and store the other half.
At this time, he saw Chen Xixiang and Shi Chuanyin enjoying tea, as if they had been waiting for him for a long time.
Zhang Tianshi sighed: "The elixir is a good elixir, but it's a pity that my cultivation level is too low and I can't fully digest it. In addition, we are too old to take supplements. Otherwise, if I take one of this elixir every seven days, I, the old Taoist, may I really hope that in my lifetime, I can step into the realm of Master Chuanyin and Xixiang, and see that God is not bad."
"This elixir was refined for you two. Only you who are in a state of immortality can digest and enjoy it."
Shi Chuanyin is a hundred years old. The reason why he does not look old is because he has reached the "Tathagata Realm" in Buddhism and can lock his energy and blood with his mind.
But he sighed: "Compared to Da Zhenren, who can digest it in just a few breaths, it took me a full cup of tea to suppress the effect of the medicine. I had fought against the old demon from Montenegro before, and at that time I thought that such a person, I am already invincible in the world, but Da Zhenren can kill him. I have never dared to imagine that we are both invulnerable. How big the gap between me and Da Zhenren is, I finally saw it today."
"I can't take these pills." Shi Chuanyin then smiled bitterly and said: "The old monk understands the good intentions of the Heavenly Master, but unfortunately, I have already lived for more than a hundred years, and I can't keep my energy and blood for a few years. I can't keep this pill for a few years." There is no blessing to enjoy it. Looking at this world, I am afraid that only the Great Master can use it as food."
Zhang Tianshi was also sad when he heard this. He had never taken the initiative to think about it, but Master Shi Chuanyin took the initiative to tell him that his life was approaching.
A man over a hundred years old.
Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of the first internal martial art in history to maintain health, only lived to be more than 130 years old.
At this time, even if the realm is very high, aging and the loss of physical strength are unstoppable.
Shi Chuanyin turned to look at Chen Xixiang and asked in a sincere tone and low posture:
"Actually, this time the old monk came here, he just wanted to ask the great master, is there really a way to achieve immortality through this path of cultivation?"
In the past, when disciples asked their master, they always said, "Please give me some advice." It meant asking the master to give you guidance.
Often this sentence can have the effect of "after reading three thousand volumes of scripture, Cao Xi will die in one sentence".
Then the teacher's words can become the motivation and belief for the disciple to persist and practice. It is a way for the disciple to come to the master to find strength when he is helpless and desperate.
As soon as Shi Chuanyin, one of the two Buddhas, said these words, he had already put himself in the position of a disciple and came to ask Chen Xixiang, a great master at that time, if he dared to ask if there is really a way ahead after practicing till the end. ?
Is this the same path that Chen Xixiang took?
Chen Xixiang sat where he was and responded with a smile:
"There are thousands of ways to live forever, and any one of them can be taken. Take my path, for example. When a person cultivates to the innate realm, he can refine himself with the innate energy, so that his life span exceeds the human body's limit of 120 days. But with your For this hundred-year-old body, it will be a thousand times more difficult than for others to follow the path of innate true energy..."
Shi Chuanyin was sad when he heard this, but he was not disappointed. At his age, he had already known twice as much as destiny. He knew that some things might really be destined, such as life and death.
Asking this question is actually a feeling of "hearing the Tao in the morning will lead to death in the evening".
Before I die, I want an answer.
However, he did not expect that Chen Xixiang's tone would change:
"But as I said just now, there are many ways to live forever. Any path forward can actually be passed. Qigong is only one direction..."
The physical body can also reach the innate state.
Li Hansha is studying the innate method of the physical body.
Chen Xixiang raised a cup of tea: "In addition to the innate energy, the soul can actually achieve immortality..."
As he spoke, he closed his eyes.
Suddenly, both Shi Chuanyin and Zhang Tianshi heard a pleasant sound of birdsong.
One after another, the birds flew over from outside the palace and landed on the branches of the eaves, chirping at the same time.
"These birds...are actually singing..."
The two old men were shocked.
Suddenly at this time.
The mahogany door of the palace seemed to be squeezed open by something small. The fire-burning boy in the alchemy room turned around and took a look, and shouted in surprise:
"Wow, it's a little fox..."
A white fox actually ran in from outside the door, and then slowly walked towards the three people who were drinking elixir. It was not afraid of people at all, and even drank the tea in front of Chen Xixiang.
After taking a sip of tea, he immediately raised his furry head, and his eyes suddenly flashed with some human brilliance. He opened his fox mouth at the Shi Chuan Seal and smiled.
"This..." Shi Chuanyin was shocked in his heart: "It is not unusual to attract animals with the magnetic field of spiritual Buddhism, but to make birds sing, let foxes drink tea, and smile like humans..."
Especially the fox, it seemed that it was no longer a fox at all, but had been taken over by Chen Xixiang's spirit.
At this time, Chen Xixiang opened his eyes, touched the white fox with his hand, and said with a smile:
"Little one, go play."
The fox immediately jumped away in panic and disappeared in a few flashes.
"The highest state of martial arts practice is that the soul is not bad. In my Taoist school, it is called opening the consciousness, but consciousness is only the beginning of soul cultivation. Over the past period of time, after my battle with the old monster of Black Mountain, I have I gained a lot from the many classics in Tianshi Mansion, gained a lot of insights, and made further progress in my mind and spirit..."
"The scene you saw just now was indeed something that ordinary people with not bad minds could do at first, using mind fluctuations to attract animals. But then, it was not just the mind fluctuations, but also the movement of one's own spirit from one's own. Physically out of body, possessed by animals..."
After hearing these words, the two Buddhist and Taoist masters present were shocked at first, and gradually turned into extremely pious fascination, with the look of a young Taoist disciple listening to a powerful sermon with no regrets.
"This...spiritual out-of-body experience...possessing others...this is truly the power of ghosts and gods..."
Zhang Tianshi was extremely impressed and admired in his heart.
Chen Xixiang then chuckled and said: "The three treasures of the human body, essence, energy and spirit, each step is a broad road. The body can become an immortal, the true energy can become an immortal, and the mind can become an immortal..."
"My out-of-body spirit just now is the Yin spirit recorded in the Taoist scriptures. It can leave the body and leave the body, but now it can only possess animals, not people..."
Animals have simple minds and simple thoughts, and are best possessed.
A single thought in life will give rise to thousands of thoughts, which are most difficult to deal with. However, if Chen Xixiang really wants to possess someone else, he can also use the path of reincarnation to beat that person's mind stupid first, and then he can easily occupy the magpie's nest. .
After Zhang Tian experienced Chen Xixiang's performance, he immediately had an epiphany and said loudly:
"I understand, you are saying that although Master Chuan Yin's body is decayed and his energy and blood are withered, he can move forward from the soul, complete the 'body-seizing reincarnation' similar to the Tantra, and live another life..."
After he finished speaking, he looked shocked:
"This has really become a first-class fairy tale."
Possession, seizing the body, reincarnation.
If life can really be extended in this way, then some people in the world can really live forever. They only need to keep changing bodies, and their soul and spirit can exist infinitely.
However, Shi Chuanyin shook his head seriously and said: "No, the Tantric method of seizing the body and reincarnation is not very simple to implement."
Although he is a Zen master, he also knows some of the secrets and secrets of Tantric Buddhism.
"The Tantric method of reincarnation is actually that each generation of Panchen Lama and Dalai Lama will predict their successors before their reincarnation. But in fact, they have sent people to check it long ago. Among thousands of babies, Find the one with the most spiritual fluctuations that suits you best, and use the psychological fluctuations to put a spiritual imprint in the pregnant woman's belly. Before she dies, she must take the pregnant woman with her and stay by her side to ensure that the child inherits some of his memory fragments after his death. "
"Furthermore, this ceremony has very high requirements for the cultivation of living Buddhas. They need to achieve at least the Illusion God achievement and be able to create a spiritual mark. They also have to go through the most terrifying womb barrier. If they are born again, they will not be counted at all. This is that person, he is just a person with some memory fragments of living Buddhas in his mind, and he has extremely high talent for continuing to practice Buddhism."
The enchantment hidden in the womb is actually the Taoist "mystery in the womb".
After a person is reincarnated, the mother's belly is the most powerful innate place. Even if a Bodhisattva and Arhat are reincarnated, their consciousness will be blinded by this innate energy.
Therefore, after a person dies, it is very difficult to find a baby to be reborn.
Chen Xixiang shook his head slightly and said:
"It is of course not allowed to use a baby as a body for reincarnation, which is harmful to nature, but there are hundreds of evil people in the world. You only need to find an evil person with a mental magnetic field that is not much different from yours, and your spirit can be in his body. Reborn again."
Zhang Tianshi asked: "Then where can we find someone whose mental and spiritual fluctuations are very similar to Master Chuanyin's?"
Chen Xixiang smiled softly:
"No need to look for it, this person is already here."
"What? Coming?!"
"Is anyone going up the mountain?"
In an instant, the expressions of the two masters of Buddhism and Taoism moved slightly at the same time.
really.
Not long after Chen Xixiang finished speaking.
The two mahogany doors in front of the alchemy room of Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain opened gently, as if blown open by the wind.
However, it was on the steps outside the mahogany door.
A woman in purple and a monk in red robes were walking slowly.
"This... the cultivation of these two people, even the old monk level did not sense their arrival." Shi Chuanyin was shocked, and then his white eyebrows trembled, and then he suddenly recognized one of the two people. One: "This Panchen Lama is Bi Boluo! Who is that woman in purple?"
Zhang Tianshi had already stood up after opening the mahogany door.
The Danhuo boy at the door immediately asked in surprise:
"Today is the day of Mu Mu. All the roads at the foot of the mountain are closed. How did you two get up here?"
Tang Zichen ignored the child's greetings, and only looked at the young Taoist in front of the tens-foot-long palace behind the mahogany gate with his cool eyes like autumn water.
For a moment.
When Tang Zichen entered the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion, he stood opposite the young Taoist.
Immediately, there was nothing left in the world in front of her, only the Taoist sitting there drinking tea.
After Tang Zichen entered the palace gate, Chen Xixiang was always slow and calm, then turned around and looked over with a faint smile on his lips:
"Tang Zichen, we finally meet."
Along with this phrase.
Instantly.
Tang Zichen felt that the young Taoist he was looking at seemed to have become extremely huge, as if he had become one with the deity enshrined in the Taoist temple, becoming the center of the universe.
A terrifying sense of spiritual oppression, like a vast ocean, flooded towards Tang Zichen.
For a moment, Tang Zichen felt that he was not here to challenge this young Taoist, but had come all the way to Longhu Mountain... to pay homage to this man!
