The next morning, the sky was clear and clear, and the sun was dazzlingly white hanging above the horizon.
Zhang Zhiwei and his party rode through the Changbai Mountains on their divine and mighty talisman horses.
Everyone was still wearing thick animal skin coats, animal skin hats on their heads, and dark plush neckbands covering half of their faces, looking like tourists.
These were all the outfits Guan Shihua had prepared last night. Although Zhang Zhiwei had strong physical abilities and was not afraid of the severe cold, it was always better to be warmer.
"Shi Hua'er, this coat you prepared is really warm!" Wang Ai had nothing to say.
"You're not talking nonsense! This is made of bearskin, can it not be warm?" Guan Shihua said angrily.
Wang Ai pursed his lips and continued to look for topics: "Shi Hua'er, what's going on with this thing called Immortal Fate?"
"Immortal fate is the fate between you and the Immortal Family. This is not determined by us, but by the Immortal Family. If the Immortal Family thinks you are destined, then you have it. If the Immortal Family thinks you are not destined, then there is no chance!"
"Then I think the Xian family and I are quite destined!"
"How to say?"
Wang Ai quickly talked about his heroic deeds: "We came to Liaodong by train. We killed a group of Japanese pirates on the way. When we were dumping the corpses, we met the... ahem... that Uncle Liu. We were We even said hello to it and it even looked at us!"
"It's indeed quite fate. Uncle Liu has lived in Changbai Mountain for a long time and has never been born easily. As soon as he was born, you actually met him. No..."
Guan Shihua looked at Wang Ai and questioned: "Your cultivation is so poor, how could Uncle Liu say hello to you!"
Wang Ai pursed his lips and whispered: "Senior Brother Zhang greeted it, and it glanced at me casually!"
Speaking of Senior Brother Zhang, Guan Shihua thought of the scene last night when Zhang Zhiwei scared away Master Huang with one glance, and nodded:
"It turns out to be Senior Brother Zhang, no wonder!"
The topic ends again.
After a while, Wang Ai asked again: "By the way, Shi Hua'er, how many years has Uncle Liu practiced to grow up to this size?"
"Some say that he has practiced Taoism for thousands of years, and some say that he has practiced Taoism for hundreds of years. I don't know the specific number. I only know that if you push it up a few generations, he will be here!" Guan Shihua said.
"Thousands of years, how scary!" Wang Ai clicked his tongue and said again:
"By the way, Shi Hua'er, my father once said that people who have acquired Qi and developed methods are called aliens. Animals who have acquired Qi and developed methods are called elves. Immortals are elves, right? But why can they survive? Hundreds of years, but for different people, a hundred years is considered a long life!"
Guan Shihua glanced at him: "The immortals in the Northeast are different from the elves you mentioned. Except for the Northeast, which of the elves in other places have you seen that can exist for such a long time?"
Wang Ai was stunned: "It seems that there really isn't one? Then why can the immortals live for such a long time?"
Guan Shihua's eyes flickered, he pondered for a moment, glared at Wang Ai, and shouted:
"Okay, why are you talking so much? Can you be quiet for a while? I still need to guide you according to the compass. If I lead you the wrong way, you are responsible!"
Wang Ai shrank his head and mumbled and stopped talking.
Wu Gensheng watched this scene from behind and said with a smile:
"This little fat guy got yelled at again. I just counted. This is already the seventh time. Every time he is yelled at, he can only deal with it for about ten minutes, and then he will ask some boring questions again."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... When I first met this little fat guy, he gave me the feeling of being a treacherous villain. Why has he become so clumsy now?"
"You said that fat man is a treacherous person?" Lu Ci turned to look at Wu Gensheng, "Your view is quite different. How about you look at me? How do I feel about you?"
"You?" Wu Gensheng stared into Lu Ci's eyes and said slowly, "You have the eyes of a desperado!"
Lu Ci smiled and said, "You say I am a desperado?"
"Don't be nervous, I don't mean any harm. I appreciate the look in your eyes." Wugensheng smiled and said: "Many people think that desperado is a derogatory term and think that it is a desperate mad dog. In fact, they underestimate the power of desperadoes. Strength, when there is no way to retreat, only the desperadoes have the chance to break out of the bloody path."
"So, Brother Bilian is praising me?" Lu Ci asked back.
"Of course I'm praising you!" Wugensheng said: "Sometimes, people think that the actions of desperadoes are like moths rushing to the flame, seeking their own death. But often, such people also have a chance, like a phoenix. That’s how you rise from the ashes.”
"When you can overcome fear and bet your life on the gambling table calmly, you can burst out with incredible power. This kind of person is actually the most powerful. Brother Hedgehog, you have a look like this."
Lu Ci grinned. Although the words "desperate" and "mad dog" were a bit presumptuous, he didn't mind. He liked these two words.
"You have something, no wonder you can compete with Senior Brother Zhang. However, if you say I am a desperado, I think you are also like me, or even more like me!" Lu Ci said.
"Thanks for the compliment!"
Wu Gensheng also grinned. Lu Ci was right, he was indeed a desperado, he had been since he was born.
Most people were very ignorant when they were children, and they don't even have memories before the age of three.
But he was different. He was born with a keen eye. He could even remember things that happened in his mother's womb, let alone before he was three years old.
He crawled out of the belly of the dead.
After he realized that his mother was dead, he began to crawl out little by little.
Finally, dragging his long umbilical cord, he crawled out of his mother's belly and was born into a place where people were hungry and people were inferior to dogs.
There was Lantian, Shaanxi Province, which coincided with the great famine that year, and there were tragedies of Yi Zi cannibalism everywhere.
After he crawled out, he lay under his mother's body, staring wide-eyed, relying on his innate perception ability to look at the refugees fleeing the famine along the way.
Occasionally, there would be wild dogs that gnawed on the corpse, smelling the smell, and wanted to eat him and his mother.
At that time, he would use his eyes as bright as stars to force the wild dogs back.
Finally, when an old Taoist priest with high cheekbones, small eyes, and a fierce look passed by, he let out a loud cry.
The old Taoist priest followed the sound and saw him dragging the long umbilical cord under the body. He cut the umbilical cord for him, buried his mother, and adopted him.
At this point, he has a name, Feng Yao.
Over the years, he occasionally thinks of the scene at that time, and wonders if he had not crawled out at that time, would he have gone with his mother? If he had been timid in front of wild dogs, would he have been eaten? If you pick the wrong person, will you get eaten...
So when it comes to being a desperado, he is the real desperado since he was born in his mother's womb.
Wugensheng raised his head and looked ahead. White wind and snow were blowing in his face. There were pine forests on both sides, and the trees were covered with ice, forming fog pine trees.
"Brother Bilian, you are pretty good at judging people, so what kind of person do you think Senior Brother Zhang is?" Lu Ci suddenly asked.
Wu Gensheng turned his head and looked at Zhang Zhiwei.
At this moment, Zhang Zhiwei was sitting astride the talisman horse, half-squinting his eyes, as if he was practicing meditation.
"Can't see through, can't see through!"
Wu Gensheng shook his head and said: "He is practicing while walking, sitting up and lying down. I finally understand why his life cultivation is so terrifying!"
"Well, shit, Senior Brother Zhang is practicing again? Is this going to give me a way to survive?!"
Lu Ci was startled, glanced at Zhang Zhiwei, and immediately felt something was wrong.
I was just listening to the conversation between Fatty and Bilian. Why didn't Lao Lu, who usually talks a lot, stop talking? Is he mute?
Turning around, he realized that Lu Jin was also practicing on horseback.
"Everyone of them is really inappropriate!"
Lu Ci felt a sense of urgency in her heart, and stopped beeping blindly with Wu Gensheng. She clamped her legs between the horse's belly, adjusted her spine, and actually practiced three postures on the horse's back.
At this time, Zhang Zhiwei was not actually tempering his life. He was burning the power of faith with the true fire of Samadhi.
Burn all kinds of emotions and thoughts attached to the power of faith, turn them into strands of golden Qi, and integrate them into the Qi of the whole body.
These golden qi seem to be a lot, but when they are integrated into the qi of the whole body, they become insignificant.
Even though Tian Zhang Zhiwei has absorbed a lot of power of faith these days, it only makes the Qi in his body tainted with an almost imperceptible trace of gold.
"This power of faith is still too little. If we could collect a lot of it, all the energy in our body would turn into gold. What should we call this state? Complete merit and virtue? Become a Buddha, an immortal, a saint... …”
Zhang Zhiwei thought of his arm wrestling with Wu Gensheng last night.
The rootless spirit of the gods combed all the Qi in his body into the most primitive Qi form.
This gave him a glimpse of something extraordinary - the essence of the power of faith.
He finally understood why the saints who had attained Tao among the three religions were pursuing this thing. Why fifty years ago, the Taiping Heavenly King, who caused boundless evil, wanted to establish a god-worshipping religion?
All of this is for the power of faith.
The power of faith is not as simple as the source of the power of the gods in the Dharma lineage. It contains the ultimate pursuit of aliens!
What is the ultimate pursuit of aliens?
It's not about fighting and killing, nor about worldly wisdom, but about immortality and attainment of enlightenment and soaring.
In the world of aliens, everything can be turned into Qi, and humans are made from a mass of innate Qi, embodied in souls and limbs.
The power of faith comes from human life, and it is naturally Qi.
Therefore, it can be used by advocates, and it can also be sorted out by gods and spirits into its most primitive form.
After the power of faith was sorted out into its most primitive form by the gods and spirits, it was divided into several strands. One of the milky white qi turned out to be an innate qi.
That's right, it's the Trinity Sect where Lu Jin belongs. He dreams of cultivating himself back to the kind of innate energy.
Qi is a term used in the alien world. The Qi in the human body is divided into innate Qi and acquired Qi.
To become a stranger, you must first acquire Qi.
The so-called getting Qi refers to feeling one's own innate Qi, and then mobilizing the innate Qi to establish a circulation of Qi in the body.
The five qi are rising, the clouds are steaming and the clouds are rising, and the qi of the future heaven is nourishing the innate qi. This is cultivation.
Therefore, cultivation is actually the acquired power of cultivation.
As for the innate energy, this is the original energy that a person carries from the mother's womb. It is destined innately and cannot be replenished or replaced later, but it will continue to be consumed.
This process of consumption is the process of people slowly aging and dying.
In short, one innate Qi is the lifespan. For ordinary aliens, the Qi that is strengthened through practice is only the acquired Qi, which cannot supplement the innate Qi, so they cannot escape death.
At the beginning of the plot, why did the big-eared thief Zhang Huaiyi, who had been dormant for decades, suddenly come out and kill everyone?
It was because he had realized that his innate energy was about to be exhausted, so he had to practice hard before he died.
And why is the third level of reverse birth of the Trinity Gate so contrary to heaven?
It’s because if you practice to a high and deep level, you can return to your innate state.
Therefore, even though Zuo Ruotong is old, he is still like a young man.
This shows the importance of innate energy.
Human beings are embodied from the innate energy, but they are consuming the innate energy every moment. These consumed innate energy return to the nature of heaven and earth.
The method of absorbing natural energy is called sage way, also called sage thief, which means that even a sage can't help but want to steal.
Among the eight magical skills, the Immortal Thief of the Six Treasures of Saints, aside from its side effects, why can it make people immortal?
It is because it absorbs the innate Qi of natural energy to make up for its own consumption, so it will not die of old age naturally.
"No wonder I went to have a drink with Master last time. He said that the power of faith is a very profound thief of saints. It turns out that it steals the innate energy of believers that spills into the nature of heaven and earth!"
Zhang Zhiwei also thought that no matter in ancient or modern times, at home and abroad, no matter which sect, fanatical believers claim to dedicate their body, mind and soul to the gods.
How to offer this? !
Many people believe that the gods they believe in will take away their souls and take them to the Kingdom of God to enjoy blessings.
Now it seems that I have thought too much. There is a god's kingdom. The so-called faith means that when you believe in gods, the innate energy that you spill out all the time will be wrapped up in your pious belief and turn into faith. The power is returned to the gods.
And doesn’t the innate Qi in this include life and soul?
Zhang Zhiwei has done a lot of things recently, created a lot of legends, and harvested a lot of power of faith.
After these powers of faith were refined and purified by him, he put them into his body. The innate energy he had consumed in the past was slightly replenished, so he felt that his body had changed.
It's just that the harvested power of faith is still too little, and the innate energy in it is very small.
It was so small that even he could not explore the root cause, so he assigned the task to Housha to investigate.
Originally, in the current state, it might take some time to clearly feel the changes in the innate energy.
But after Wu Gensheng's interruption, the process was advanced.
No wonder those great fairies in the Northeast can live so long.
No wonder they are all full and ready to recruit disciples to go out.
In fact, the essence is to harvest the power of faith, but I don’t know how they are purified.
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhiwei opened his eyes and looked at Guan Shihua: "Huniu, how are the charges calculated for you to go out?"
Guan Shihua said: "A serious Immortal Immortal will not charge a lot of money. Just like the old rule in the past, it is to have a full meal and then offer incense to the Immortal Family's tablet. The full meal belongs to us, and the incense belongs to the Immortal Family!"
"But recently, I have been thinking about the difficult life of my disciples, and they are afraid of starving to death when there is no business. The immortal family has also allowed fees, but generally it will not exceed two oceans. It is said that charging too much money will affect the incense of the immortal family."
"However, my hall still charges no fees, but we can make a living in other ways. For example, the previous venue is a piece of land in our hall, and we will take a portion of the commission!"
"It's just a protection fee!" Zhang Zhiwei said concisely and to the point.
"Emmm..." Guan Shihua pondered for a moment, "Senior Brother Zhang is right!"
