The next few days were quite peaceful. en8.
The massively damaged building was repaired within half a day. In the garden where Yun Qing lives, even the old tree that was burned to ashes has been moved to a similar size.
During this time, everyone was nervously preparing for the Hundred Flowers Sacrifice. Yun Qing also followed Le Shu in and out of various palaces to learn the sacrificial etiquette.
This temple of heaven has been passed down for thousands of years and is based on the reproduction of the human race. In the long development of the human race, sacrificial rituals have gradually become more and more perfect, forming a large and complex complete system. These etiquettes are not only in form, but also integrated into the will of the human race that has been passed down for thousands of years. If you understand them one by one, even a lifetime will not be enough. Fortunately, the job of flower boy is a relatively easy one.
It's late autumn now, why are the flowers blooming? Therefore, flower attendants are needed to stimulate the vitality of flower seeds so that they will bloom undefeated during the sacrifice.
In this way, in addition to the worship etiquette of entering and exiting the venue, Yun Qing only needs to learn how to stimulate flower seeds. But for Yun Qing, this is far more difficult than those complicated etiquette.
The Qi she cultivates is the Great Sun and Black Heavenly Wheel, and she is known for her violence and madness even among the orthodox demons. Yun Qing had been practicing this kind of Qi since the beginning, and it was difficult to control it without suffering harm, let alone use this Qi to stimulate the vitality of vegetation. The difficulty is similar to using arsenic to revive a patient.
It should be noted that the big sun belongs to fire and is naturally in conflict with vegetation.
At this time, Yun Qing was pressing her hand on a bush of autumn chrysanthemums in the garden. This flower was moved after the fire and looked a little withered. Yun Qing's hand caressed it gently, sending the infuriating energy as peacefully as possible.
Qiu Ju turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.
"Puch..." A crisp laughter sounded beside her.
Yun Qing raised her hand and covered it with another autumn chrysanthemum.
Le Shu beside her finally couldn't stand it anymore: "How many batches of flowers and plants have you changed? Why have I never seen you succeed?"
Yun Qing ignored it, and then poured his true energy into Qiu Ju. After she had done all the damage to a large bunch of good autumn chrysanthemums, she finally raised her head and said, "What do you want from me?"
Le Shu often came to this garden these days, and Yun Qing gradually came to know that she was an elite among the inner sect. Although she was young, her spiritual wisdom was developed early. She began to practice Taoism as soon as she landed, and now she is only one step away from becoming a Taoist. Once you enter the Tao, you will definitely be promoted to a direct disciple.
Le Shu is about the same age as her, but he likes to be lively. He comes to see her from time to time, and every time he makes Senior Sister Yu very angry. But Senior Sister Yu couldn't bear to scold her, so she had to let her go.
"Why don't you nourish your vitality? It's so hard to control your vitality!" Le Shu laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe when he saw that she had destroyed a whole bush of autumn chrysanthemums.
"My cultivation level is weak, and it is not easy to accumulate vitality. I should first use my true energy to train my hands." Of course, Yun Qing cannot say that he has no vitality at all.
The beginning of cultivating the human way is similar to that of cultivating the immortal way. Both are to introduce spiritual energy into the body, convert the spiritual energy into one's own vitality, and then transform the vitality into true energy.
There is a saying in the orthodox Immortal Way that "all things are born with vitality". This is probably the biggest difference between the Immortal Way and the Demonic Way.
The magic way is based on tempering the physical body, directly introducing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to transform the true energy, and then using the true energy to feed the physical body. en8. There is no such step as transforming vitality. Therefore, it is considered as the "method of inanimateness" and mainly kills. Cutting off one's own retreat and seeking survival in the face of death is a commonly used method of enlightenment in the devil's way.
"But it won't work if you keep trying like this." Le Shu was puzzled.
"Careful experience will naturally lead to results." Yun Qing's expression remained unchanged as he stood up and walked towards the last tree in the garden.
"Oh, wait! You still want to try, right?" Le Shu trotted to catch up.
"Otherwise?" Yun Qing could only say helplessly, "When the control is good enough, it won't be destroyed."
"Looking at your progress, I still don't know how many years and months it will take. After all, you have cultivated the way of a gentleman like jade, gentle and peaceful. Isn't it so difficult?" Le Shu frowned and saw the hand in Yun Qing's hand. The branches were scorched into black charcoal sticks.
"But isn't the Kunshan Jade Shattering Technique that I have practiced the way of a gentleman preferring to be a jade piece? The jade piece master has murderous intent..." Yun Qing said half-truthfully. It would be great if the Kunshan Jade Broken Technique she understood could be directly used to stimulate vitality. Then she can use the true energy of the Great Sun and Black Heavenly Wheel to run the Kunshan Jade Broken Jue, and use the Jade Broken Jue to activate vitality.
"Wrong. Although Kunshan Jade Broken Jue has extremely offensive methods, its way is not the way of attack." Le Shu's face was slightly solemn, "You must not mislead the way. For example, swords, although swords have the ability to kill, But it is indeed a weapon of benevolence and propriety. Those who do evil only see it as a sharp blade and can use it to kill people, but those who are devoted to benevolence can use it as a weapon to save others."
Yun Qing felt that these words suddenly lit up some doubts in her heart.
Dharma is different from Tao.
She hit a dead end after realizing the ultimate attack technique of splattering jade yesterday, thinking that this inheritance should lead to murder. However, the origin of the Kunshan Jade Broken Jue is "I would rather die with a jade body than live with an earthenware body", and its original intention is to maintain the saying that "a gentleman is like jade". Since the method of breaking jade was created to maintain the way of "a gentleman is like jade", then we should not miss the way of a gentleman like jade for the sake of the method of breaking jade. Yun Qingyi's heavy murderous intention in this inheritance went against the original intention of nourishing the heart like jade and being calm and indifferent.
No matter how powerful the Dharma is, if it deviates from the Tao, it will be useless.
When cultivating the Tao, you should cultivate the various avenues in the world, rather than sticking to a few powerful laws or spells.
Yun Qing understood clearly in her heart, clear light covered her hands, and a simple Xuanyuan Jade Transformation Technique was performed, but she felt completely different from before.
It's like polishing fogged glass.
Yun Qing covered the tree trunk with her hands, silently feeling the vitality fluctuations of the trees. A little bit of clear light bloomed from her hands, and then enveloped the entire tree. The leaves that were originally a little yellow due to transplanting suddenly glowed with the brilliance of life, and the branches became luxuriant.
Le Shu couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw it, and said in his heart: Zheng Zhenzhen is so enlightened, I really don't know how he can do nothing in the outer sect for so many years.
"How long did it take you to master this technique?" Le Shu had already seen that Yun Qing had completely mastered the Kunshan Jade Broken Technique.
"Three days." Yun Qing chuckled and felt a lot more relaxed. This kind of epiphany was of great benefit to her soul.
"..." Le Shu didn't believe it.
"On the first day, a mountain looks like a mountain. On the second day, a mountain looks like a mountain. On the third day, a mountain looks like a mountain." Yun Qing explained.
When she first got this inheritance from Zheng Zhenzhen, she understood that it cultivated the way of "a gentleman is like a jade"; then she felt that this inheritance should have other uses, so she realized the ultimate attack technique; and finally through Le Shu raised some points and returned to "a gentleman is like jade".
Le Shu understood what she meant: "Your understanding is really remarkable. If you were born in Jingdu and were taught by a national teacher like me, you would have already entered Taoism by now."
"I heard that you have reached the edge of the path?"
"One step is like the end of the world." Le Shu shook his head. She was somewhat similar to Yun Qing, and she couldn't see the immaturity of the child at all. Apart from being lively and active, she is almost the same as an adult, and Yun Qing has even given up on the childish characteristics of being "lively and active".
Just to seek the truth.
"Do you have any experiences you can learn from when you become a Taoist?" Yun Qing asked.
In fact, generally speaking, it is quite taboo to ask directly about spiritual practice in the demonic or immortal world, but the human world is quite different. Teachers of humanity are responsible for "preaching, teaching, and solving doubts." There is also a saying that "among three people, there must be a teacher." In other words, anyone who can be a teacher has the responsibility of "preaching". This kind of atmosphere and tradition is very convenient for spiritual practice. It prevents people from being self-conscious and working behind closed doors. I think the current great prosperity of humanity is also related to this.
But Le Shu shook his head: "I can't tell."
It's "can't say it" rather than "don't want to say it".
"I can barely reach the gate, but in fact I don't know how many years of practice it will take to take this step." Le Shu continued, "I practiced Taoism very early, and my accumulation is deep enough, but the matter of entering Taoism is not determined by these, but … Sigh, I can’t tell.”
"You will know when you reach this point in the future. Entering the Dao can be said to be a hurdle for a carp to leap over the dragon's gate. If you pass it, you can become an immortal or a demon. If you fail to pass it, you will be just a mortal with no cultivation."
Yun Qing nodded. The accumulation of the Seven Holy Lands is extraordinary. Not only did Le Shu grow up in the Temple of Heaven, but he also received the true inheritance of the national master. Even if it is compared to ordinary direct disciples, it is not much different. Her understanding of spiritual practice is already advanced in this realm, which is much better than that of someone like Yun Qing who became a monk halfway.
"By the way, do you have any clues about the person who set the fire a few days ago?" Yun Qing asked pretending to be casual.
"It's Bifang." Le Shu was a little excited. She was also very interested in these strange creatures.
Yun Qing already knew that she had already seen Bi Fang in the fire that day. But she still asked: "Maybe caught?"
"Of course it's impossible, but the Imperial Master scared it away, and it will probably never come again in the future." Le Shu took out an ancient book from his arms and turned it over to Yun Qing like a treasure.
Generally, the classics of monks are recorded on jade slips. This book must have been found at a book stall in the city in such a worn condition.
"Look, look, these feathers, this beak, it's really... if only I had such a spiritual beast."
Yun Qing's mind swept away. There was a red-crowned crane-like firebird drawn on the book, which was far less magnificent and powerful than the one she saw that day.
She shook her head: "Who would want to raise such a fire-causing monster?"
The appearance of Bi Fang means fire, and it has always been a symbol of fire among the people.
"Me, me, me! I do!" Le Shu was very excited, "How can it be considered a monster? Bifang is the god of fire and wood. According to legend, Bifang once served beside the Yellow Emperor's chariot!"
Yun Qing still disagrees with her taste. Moreover, it is impossible to tame such a beautiful and deadly creature.
"Why does this kind of monster bird appear in Jingdu?" Yun Qing asked.
The excited look on Le Shu's face turned cold. She took back the old book and frowned, "The Imperial Master didn't say anything."
Le Shu was someone who had a lot of contact with the Imperial Master. If she was also confused, Yun Qing couldn't help but doubt the Imperial Master's position.
She clearly knew the origin of that Bi Fang. This kind of ferocious creature that existed in ancient times dared to enter one of the Seven Holy Lands alone, and even set fire to the Temple of Heaven for three days, and finally left peacefully. No matter how you think about its origin, it has only one origin.
One hundred thousand mountains.
At this point of arrogance, there are only hundreds of thousands of mountains filled with monsters in the holy land of the world.
This time Lu Tiantan was bullied by a hundred thousand mountains. Why did the national master, who was the pillar of Lu Tiantan, just scare away the Bi Fang without taking any serious action? And the purpose of Bi Fang is also very strange. If Shiwandashan came to pursue her, then Bi Fang didn't even notice that Tianshu had passed by it. If it was for provocation, It shouldn't be as simple as burning a few gardens.
Unless this Bifang is really just playing around and comes here to circle around a few times.
When Yun Qing thought of this, he suddenly realized that the situation was much more serious. She casually found an excuse to bid farewell to Leshu, put on her sacrificial robes and left the area covered by the Lutian Holy Altar.
Yun Qing himself came from Shiwandashan, and he knew Shiwandashan very well. If that Bi Fang really came here to play around, it meant that it was definitely not the only one coming. After all, a big demon like Bi Fang who stabilizes the cultivators in the entry-level stage is not completely free to move in Shiwanda Mountain.
The more powerful you are, the more limited you are. The little monsters can just go and cause trouble to a few villages or whatever. However, the cause and effect involved in these great demons who have lived for tens of thousands of years, pulled carts for the Yellow Emperor, and held lamps for the Flame Emperor are too huge. Their random actions will cause damage to the entire world structure, so there are quite a lot of restrictions inside the Shiwan Mountain. To be strict.
If it goes out and sets fire just for the sake of the mirror, nothing can be said about it. Yun Qing suspected that it came here with a big shot from Shiwanda Mountain, and conveniently set fire to the Temple of Heaven. The Imperial Master probably let it go because he didn't want to conflict with the person behind it on the eve of the Hundred Flowers Festival.
So what do the people behind it want to do
She remembered that when she was in Jiu Ming City, she told the old uncle Cha who was a mystery about his origins that winter was coming, and the hunters in the mountains had to start preparing food.
The rule of Shiwandashan is that monsters are hunters and humans are food. There have always been many incidents of monsters attacking humans in the Southern Barbarians.
I'm afraid Shiwandashan is going to make big moves this time. If this is the case, I don't know if the seeds she buried in the south can be saved. She must solve her mental problems as quickly as possible and with the minimum expenditure, end the chess game here, and then quickly return to the south to save Xie Yao's piece.
