Liang Xingyang cultivated the Nascent Soul and ascended to this world from the earth. Due to the thin spiritual energy on the earth, not only did he not develop any magical powers, but the Nascent Soul was also not fully grown. Yin and Chongyang were weak, and even the mystery of separation from Yin could not be completely eliminated. It is not until the brain develops at the age of two or three that the memory of the past life is gradually restored.
It is said in the Alchemy Sutra that immortals are pure yang, ghosts are pure yin, and humans have mixed yin and yang. This refers to the Yuan Shen. The pure yang of the Yuan Shen is the yang god of the immortal, and the pure yin of the Yuan Shen is the ghost. Through the process of cultivation, Among them, the so-called refining qi to transform the spirit is to use the innate pure yang qi collected to enlighten the primordial spirit, so that the yin qi of the primordial spirit dissipates and the yang qi increases until it is pure yang.
But to collect the innate Qi, you need to start from the body. As for the body, that is, start from the cauldron. The Dan Jing compares the phases of the moon: when the string goes up, the body generates one point of yang energy, and when the string goes down, the spirit retreats one point of yin energy. , and finally forms a full moon, completely pure Yang and no Yin.
A complete Yin Shen is out of the body, and all he sees are illusions, but he cannot control himself and can only drift with the crowd. Many ghosts stay in one place in a daze for decades, or a Yin Shen practitioner travels and encounters a pregnant woman giving birth, confused. When he was reincarnated, he was actually in a pigsty and became a piglet.
The stronger the yang energy, the clearer and clearer it is, and the less likely it is to be obsessed by illusions.
Naturally, Liang Xingyang still cannot achieve pure yang without yin, but with the dense purple energy protecting his soul, he can still stay awake and return to his body at any time. It is precisely because of this that he dares to travel and explore in this way. .
The southern and western parts of Mingzhou had just experienced floods, and the plague swept over again, killing many people. However, refugees from surrounding suburban counties continued to come to fill the gap. The total population did not decrease but increased, but the overall quality of life for everyone declined. , at night, all the lights are turned off, and the whole city is dead silent. Only a few places still have lights.
Among them, the Chenghuang Temple is brightly lit.
The city god of Mingzhou Prefecture was named Lin Feifan. He was originally a water thief in the Huangting River. He robbed homes and robbed many gold, silver and jewelry. He was very famous in the local area. After his death, his descendants cleared away their ancestors and asked someone to compile a biography and package him. He became a hero who dedicated himself to upholding justice for heaven. He built the "Flying Sail Temple" on the riverside and paid for him to open up connections in the court and confer him a title.
He was originally the city god of Yufu County by the river. A few years ago, his descendants used their power and he was promoted to the city to be the city god.
Lin Feifan was young when he died. He was in his early thirties. He was wearing a green robe, a parrot crown on his head, and a six-and-a-half-point long stick in his hand. The statue was carved with a lot of money by his descendants. He was mighty and domineering, handsome and attached. After growing up on this statue, receiving incense and blessings from his father and fellow villagers, he gradually changed from the shrunken and fierce bandit appearance before his death, and became more handsome.
At this time, there was an Eight Immortals table in the Chenghuang Temple. Lin Feifan was sitting at the main seat. There were a pair of bowls and chopsticks on the left and right sides. There was no one on the seat. Opposite him, sat a strong man with a tiger head.
This strong man is very majestic, standing at least three meters tall. He has long hands and feet, sharp nails, a big tiger head, and some human eyebrows. His face, hands, and legs are , full of tiger stripes, a pair of dazzling eyes, round and bright!
The two guys sat across from each other and drank wine, pouring it into the bowl, it was as red as blood.
Just listen to the tiger demon holding the wine glass and saying: "Brother Lin! Let me tell you, I have lived for almost five hundred years. I am much older than you, but I am willing to call you brother, because you know No?"
Lin Feifan picked up a piece of fried liver from the plate and chewed it slowly: "Because I am a human and you are a tiger."
"That's right!" the tiger demon said with great envy, "You human beings can become enlightened within two or three years of your cultivation, and you can achieve something in just a few years! I was just a white tiger in the mountains at first, confused and ignorant. , I only knew about catching food and basking in the sun all day long, until that day, I ate people. Well, I had eaten people before, but what I ate that day was special. He practiced Taoism during his lifetime, and his soul remained after his death. He followed me and talked to me. , Slowly I became enlightened and understood what was going on, so I continued to eat more people, raising their souls after death and taking them with me. In order to practice, I ate more than a thousand Personally, I finally understood the changes of yin and yang in the world, and I truly entered the path of cultivation!"
He pointed at Lin Feifan with his sharp nails: "It's not like you. You never practiced cultivation during your lifetime. After your death, your descendants will build a temple for you and create a biography for you. You will find someone to bring incense and worship you. You will become a god from a ghost. Now, It is really enviable to be a city god."
Lin Feifan always had a smile on his face and pushed the plate in front of him towards him: "Human beings are the souls of all things and truly good things. If you eat more, you might become smarter tomorrow."
"Hahaha." The tiger demon laughed, and also took a piece of oil to eat his heart. "I am already very smart. I have fooled so many people into applauding. In fact, human flesh is very unpalatable. It's just that you don't use the seasoning well." Enough, well done.”
There was a simple oil lamp placed on the table against the wall. Under the lamp were four scriptures. Lin Feifan pointed with his finger and said, "It's not impossible for you to want me to join the Golden Lamp Sect. It's just that I have to die before my death." After all, I only care about money and ignore logic. As long as you give me enough benefits and let me join the toilet cult, it’s fine. If you just talk, you don’t need to say anything about the teaching, it’s no use.”
The tiger demon put down his fork and nodded slowly: "Brother Lin is right. How did I join the Golden Lantern Sect in the first place? It's because they gave me enough benefits!" He opened his mouth and spit out a dark token, holding it up in his hand. , with a black air lingering on the surface, "Do you know what this is? The Iron Cliff Order of Judge Iron Cliff in the underworld!"
Upon hearing this name, Lin Feifan's expression changed and he quickly reached out to take the token, but the tiger demon retracted his hand.
Lin Feifan stared at Tie Yaling with a greedy light in his eyes: "How come you have this thing?"
"Hahaha." The tiger demon swallowed Tie Yaling back into his belly again, "Back when I was still cannibalizing people in the mountains, there was a Hunter King Mountain nearby. There were many villages in the mountain. I wanted to go in and have a good meal, but what could I do? Protected by the mountain god, I fought with the mountain god several times but was helpless. Instead, I was shot by the mountain god with an arrow. Later, I worked harder to raise the ghosts and asked the dead villagers to go back and trick their relatives and friends into coming out. I deceived ten, and deceived a hundred. Within a few years, all the people in the village were deceived and fell into my belly. The mountain god lost his incense, and his magic power became worse and worse. I also tore him apart in the last fight. Eat. Later, I ate all the people and occupied the mountain temple. The mountain god was canonized by the underworld. I entered the underworld through his talisman sticker and met Judge Tie Ya. I gave him an offering every year. , the relationship is already quite good."
Lin Feifan asked: "What offerings did you give to Judge Tie Ya?"
"That's a good question!" The tiger demon praised, "Judge Iron Cliff likes to eat boys and girls, especially the disciples of the immortal sect who have practiced. Two years ago, I met a child with excellent bones, and I wanted to capture him. He presented it to Judge Iron Cliff, but the boy had perfected his sword energy and I couldn't get close to him. Later I met the Holy Mother of the Golden Lantern Sect and wanted to catch the boy with her, but the boy was very cunning and escaped again. !”
