Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 333: Nine-story entrance

Views:

“How long have you been holding it in…” Huangfu Qing wiped his hands, feeling disgusted and sighing.

Zhao Changhe watched her wiping her hands eagerly, feeling heartbroken. The beauty serum reserved for the blind man was gone.

Actually, I didn’t hold it in for very long… It’s not because I was holding it in, it’s because the drug was too strong.

If you want to practice well, you shouldn't do these trivial things at this time. You should meditate and practice to digest what you have gained.

Of course I didn't dare say this. If I did, the young lady would beat me to death.

As a result, Huangfu Qing lazily walked aside and said, "I want to practice meditation to consolidate what I have learned. Don't always have that in your mind. Practice hard and see if you can break through the secret treasure."

Zhao Changhe said: "When you withered and reborn just now, it should be the result of breaking through the secret treasure, right? Otherwise, it is impossible to imagine that state."

Huangfu Qing wanted to laugh: "Yeah, yes."

It is a breakthrough in the secret treasure, but it is the third secret treasure.

Tang Wanzhuang broke through the triple secret and became a sickly person, but I was safe and sound. This time I really surpassed her.

Well, that means kissing a man...

Zhao Changhe was somewhat envious: "One by one, they have broken through the secret treasures. I have to work harder."

Huangfu Qing was in a very good mood and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, being weak is also cute."

Zhao Changhe: “?”

"Ahem." Huangfu Qing was afraid that he would pounce on him to prove his weakness, so he hurriedly said with a smile: "You are already very fast. It is unique to achieve the ninth level of the Mysterious Gate in such a short time. You can't rush to hide the secrets. You must first achieve the inner and outer... Eh?"

She looked at Zhao Changhe, and suddenly there was some surprise in her eyes: "You... have also broken through the ninth level of the inner family?"

Just now, I was thinking about his strong physique, thinking that he was just using the body-building effect of the medicine to help his external skills break through the ninth level, but I didn't notice that his internal skills had also broken through the ninth level.

How do I break this internal family? Those things just now have basically nothing to do with the cultivation of internal family's true qi. Can I just rely on my own dual cultivation to go back and forth

"No, this is a false ninth level. The energy just now was too strong and caused the barrier to be broken. In fact, there is no understanding and experience that should be possessed by the ninth level of the Mysterious Gate." Huangfu Qing's expression became serious: "You should immediately enter into a state of meditation and comprehend your own universe that runs through the sky, the earth and the sky. Otherwise, if you make a mistake, the door to the secret treasure will be closed from now on, and you will regret it too late."

The key to the inner nine-layer gate is the sky spirit, which connects the bridge between heaven and earth and inherits the secret treasure. This level is very dangerous, and forcing through it can easily turn people into idiots. Therefore, people today are smart and simplify this level, not carrying the meaning of connecting the bridge between heaven and earth, and purely treating it as their own internal practice, resulting in a surge of people in the ninth layer, but few who can break through the secret treasure.

Zhao Changhe obviously would not simplify it like this. Although he walked fast, his path was very legitimate. His five senses and spiritual perception had long surpassed most of the ninth-level masters. It can be said that he went to Kunlun to practice not for the ninth level, but went straight to the secret treasure from the beginning to seek the journey of the master.

As a result, the energy was too strong this time, and I broke through the barrier directly, but I accidentally took the simplified path of others. What is the meaning of the so-called nine-layered gate of the mysterious gate? I didn't understand it at all.

He didn't even realize the difficulty of impacting the Heavenly Spirit. It can be said that this level of the mysterious gate has not been truly opened, and he is only a half-baked ninth level.

Well, it's not without benefits. At least I know what the so-called ninth level is like. Compared with the eighth level, what's the difference except that it's stronger? It's still a fart secret treasure.

Zhao Changhe sat down quietly, trying to comprehend the true ninth mystical gate, but he couldn't get it for a while.

Huangfu Qing gently tapped his forehead to help him calm down: "This orifice is just a continuation, it is not as difficult as people imagine. The key is that you should not treat it as a breakthrough to your own orifice, but as a bridge. Think about the star map that our Suzaku Venerable pointed out to you before. The stars in the sky also correspond to you. How do the two echo each other? When you find it, that is your martial arts path. Everyone's martial arts has his own spirit. Think about what your martial arts is?"

The sound gradually became distant, and Zhao Changhe had already entered a state of meditation.

Huangfu Qing looked at him steadily for a while, with a complicated look in his eyes.

It all started with the star map at that time... At that time, did I ever think that I would actually fall in love with this little man

At this point, the meaning of the star map is no longer important. However, Huangfu Qing still thinks that it would be best to be able to get close to the Four Symbols Doctrine, but he doesn't know if he can achieve his wish.

She also sat cross-legged beside him, trying to comprehend the heart flame that she had just stored in her spiritual altar.

Mastering this kind of fire, one can mobilize the demons in people's hearts and burn them with fire. In fact, one can already be considered to have the power of gods and demons. But at this moment, it doesn't feel like it's about to reach the top like before. Instead, it's like opening a key and being able to sense that there are more vast paths above. This is just the beginning.

It is said that his first secret treasure is a continuation... To put it bluntly, isn't the third secret treasure also a succession

It's just a continuation at different levels.

… …

At this time, Zhao Changhe's mind had already entered into a comprehensive perception of his own meridians and acupoints.

When the Xuanguan reaches the top of the head, a complete cycle has been formed inside the body. In the traditional martial arts concept, the "Ren and Du meridians" are fully connected, and the interior forms a universe in itself.

Since then, his own practice has truly entered the realm of the Nine Stages of the Mysterious Gate, the pinnacle of conventional warriors. But this is only an internal cycle, a half-baked ninth stage.

How to build a bridge to the outside world? How to make the flow inside and outside continue

When sitting cross-legged, with the perineum touching the ground and the crown of the head touching the sky, theoretically the bridge between heaven and earth has been built, but how do you connect it

It's not possible that the true energy would rush out and tear the top of your head off, there's no way that works.

Most warriors would be at a loss in this situation, but Zhao Changhe had been tempering his spirit and training his five senses under the guidance of Yue Hongling since the eighth level of Xuanguan, and he was already very experienced in mental visualization.

With Huangfu Qing's hint, he quickly started visualizing the Zhoutian Star Map.

The sky is the outer stars, and the acupoints are the inner stars. The two can correspond to each other... For example, all the practices of the Four Symbols Sect are to correspond oneself to the images of the four symbols and stars, and the attributes that are cultivated are also the attributes of the four symbols. Is this a coincidence

The inner and outer stars are related, and humans and the universe are one.

Suzaku, Xuanwu and others have refined their own star maps and followed corresponding intentions. That is their resonance and also their martial arts spirit. I am Suzaku, I am Xuanwu, so heaven and man are one.

What about Zhao Changhe

What is my martial arts spirit

Is it the sunset, vast and distant

Is it just a sword and a glass of wine, walking alone in the world

Is it the clear blue water and melodious piano music

Or will the bloody evil arise and the thousands of soldiers be scared away

Actually, neither of them is true... that is just the external meaning.

As the Zhaocuo dialect and foul language became less and less frequent, the detached attitude of watching from the sidelines became weaker and weaker, and the desire to find the witch was almost forgotten. He entered this world and blended in with the joys and sorrows of the world.

It is to use a sword to cut off injustice, to fight in three thousand miles, to drink wine to show off to the king and the princes, and to keep a promise worth a thousand gold.

The blind man said, you are already a person of this world...

Is that so? Yes and no.

No matter which world you are from, just do what you should do, that's all.

Zhao Changhe looked at the stars in the sky, and none of them agreed with his idea.

The blind man also said that the way of heaven is dead.

If there is no justice in this heaven, which star can come together

None of the stars in the sky are.

What Night Emperor... If there is not even the sun and the moon, what kind of Night Emperor is he

If there were no sun and moon... I would shine for the mountains and rivers.

If Heaven has no justice, I will do it myself! Isn't this the ambition I set when I was in Beimang

The entire star map began to shine, and the method of harmony among the stars taught by Suzaku inspired the spirit of heaven, like a group of stars surrounding the moon.

The whirlpool in Dantian is rolling wildly, the six directions are becoming one, like the sun hanging high in the sky.

The sun and the moon reflect each other, and heaven and earth shine together.

A hint of coolness quietly seeps in from the sky, and the bridge is connected silently, integrating the inside and the outside, and heaven and man are one.

The ninth level of the entrance hall is completed here.

Zhao Changhe sensed the transition of the internal Qi from acquired to innate, and slowly opened his eyes.

In front of him was Huangfu Qing with a complicated expression: "You... are really not Ye Di?"

Zhao Changhe smiled brightly: "Really not."
