Chapter 423 The mantis stalks the cicada(1/3)
In the middle of the night, a cool breeze blows from the vast waters, bringing a sense of silence to the strangeness of Tiangang Island.
Fu Xuanxing sat quietly among a group of cousins.
While holding a wake for his grandfather, he struggled to recall the memory he had lost.
But this time passed, and he still couldn't remember how he met his grandfather in the afternoon.
He couldn't remember what happened after entering Tiankui Pavilion.
The only thing I can recall completely is that after Fu Henghua entered the Yangxin Hall, he and Fang Dongyuan were chatting outside.
"Who can take away the memories of me and my adopted brother without knowing it?"
Fu Xuanxing lowered his head and thought hard, but he didn't know that a colorful poisonous spider was slowly crawling on the beam above his head.
Green claw spider.
One of the most venomous demon spiders in Donglai Shenzhou. One of the seven spider mothers in Yizhou, this is the true form.
The poisonous spider concealed its aura, and no one in the hall noticed it. It approached Fu Xuanxing quietly, spitting out its poisonous threads bit by bit.
…
"Brother Fang, as you said, they did take action."
Fang Dongyuan took Hong Changyi and watched him outside.
An Jingcheng glanced here and continued drinking tea with other guests.
The guests gathered together not to keep vigil for the head of the Fu family, but because a Nascent Soul Grandmaster had died on the island for no apparent reason. Everyone was in panic, and the Fu family refused to allow the guests to leave at this time on the grounds that the matter had not been clarified.
To avoid being tricked themselves, comrades from all walks of life gathered together to protect themselves.
After all, we are all monks, so it is normal to go several days without eating, drinking or sleeping. We can simply get together to chat and discuss Taoism.
Hong Changyi and Fu Xuanxing have also been friends for a long time. Hearing that Fu Xuanxing was in an awkward situation in the Fu family and that his cousins might secretly create difficulties, he responded to Fang Dongyuan's request and protected him together.
Seeing the poisonous spider on the beam, when Hong Changyi was about to do something, Fang Dongyuan held his wrist and shook his head gently.
"Those people have done bad things, so of course they will be punished!"
He drew circles with his fingers and secretly cast a spell, and the poisonous spider on the beam was wrapped in purple air. The next moment, it was forcibly returned to its owner.
The Fu family disciple shook his shoulders and looked around quickly. Several brothers nearby also noticed that something was wrong, and they straightened their postures one by one, pretending that nothing had happened.
At this moment, the poisonous spider suddenly went crazy and bit the owner's palm fiercely.
"ah--"
The man jumped up in pain and quickly shook off the poisonous spider from his palm.
"Brother, hurry up, help me take the antidote in my arms."
The poison spread from the palms of the hands, and most of the body was numb.
The brothers nearby knew how ferocious the "Green Clawed Golden Spider" was and quickly gave him medicine.
But just as he reached into his robe to get the medicine, the brother who was taking the medicine also let out a scream. A hundred-footed centipede covered with fire patterns emerged from his arms, and then the poisonous bag fell to the ground, and densely packed poisonous insects attacked the surrounding people.
Climb on your body.
"Everyone, be careful!"
"Lao Ba, why did your poison bag break?"
The screams continued, and the uninformed Fu family disciples beside them quickly got up and dodge.
"quiet!"
The older brothers who were keeping vigil in front stood up one after another and saw a small opening in the poison bag, with poisonous insects crawling out of it.
Fu Danyu's eyes narrowed: "Who allowed you to take the Poison Bag to the mourning hall?"
Death of the body is yin, and poisonous insects are also yin.
According to Feng Shui theory, poisons should not come into contact with corpses to avoid conflict between yin and qi.
"I--"
The Fu family wanted to explain, but the poison eroded the five internal organs, and he couldn't even finish his words at the moment.
He was trembling all over, and the brother next to him quickly fed him the elixir.
However--
"No, it's impossible. How could my Jade Spirit Pill be ineffective?"
The young man's eyes were horrified, and he felt that the poison was eroding his heart veins bit by bit.
In the past, I was accidentally bitten by poisonous insects, but I always relied on this treasure pill to treat it!
After Fu Danyu and several brothers nearby gave instructions, everyone worked together to mobilize the strong wind to collect the poisonous insects.
Picking up the torn poison bag again, Fu Danyu snorted loudly: "Is this how your Tianan Pavilion keeps vigil for your grandfather?"
"Brother, considering this is his first offender."
"First offender? Why, he plans to do it a second time? My grandfather buried his soul, is it possible that he can do it a second time?"
The movement in the mourning hall attracted the attention of guests outside.
Fu Danyu didn't want to make any publicity, so he sent everyone in Tian'an Pavilion to put away the bag of poisons and carry the young man back to detoxify him.
Hong Changyi and Fang Dongyuan hid in the darkness and saw Fu Xuanxing glance at the group of people in Tiannan Pavilion, and then continued to sit quietly on their knees.
"This kid is really heartless. It's hard for us to protect him secretly - but Brother Fang is very ruthless. Are those people okay?"
"I didn't do it."
Fang Dongyuan stared at the glass cover.
While everyone was panicking to deal with the poisonous insects, a crystal butterfly flew silently into the glass cover and inspected the body of the head of the Fu family.
"That girl, even if you vent your anger on Fu Xuanxing, you don't have to be so cruel."
Fu Tongjun is good at poisonous poison. When Tian An Pavilion planned to use poisonous spiders to assassinate Fu Xuanxing, he took away the control of poisonous spiders first and turned back on the owner.
In addition, she took advantage of the man's panic and put her own poison into his arms, biting open the Poison Bag, causing a commotion among the Poisons.
When everyone was paying attention to the poisonous insects causing trouble, Fu Tongjun successfully obtained a little bit of the Fu family master's sebum from the glass cover.
Fang Dongyuan asked Hong Changyi to continue watching, and he chased Jingdie to Liuyuntai.
Liuyuntai at night is even more charming than during the day.
Fireflies dance in the fog, like dim lights.
On the high platform, the "man" put away the crystal butterfly and carefully held up the "sebum" with a chip as thin as a cicada's wings. Then a one-eyed toad jumped onto his shoulder, connecting his field of vision with Mr. Fu Tong.
In the field of vision of the one-eyed Yin Toad, the sebum gradually enlarged, and densely packed Tiangang runes appeared.
This is the secret inside the monk.
This is also summarized by Fu Tongjun after studying the human body for many years.
Some regularly arranged structures can be seen in the sebum of mortals, but there are no "dao runes" in their bodies.
[The book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, the Changyuan app! It is so easy to use. I rely on this to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here. huanyuanapp ]
Only when cultivators refine their bodies step by step, mana baptizes the body, and "traces of the Tao" appear on the body, will "talismans" emerge one after another in the tiny structures of the human body.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Through the runes of the avenue, you can understand the monk's own path.
"Judging from the amount of Tao Yun and the intensity of sebum..."
The tentacles of the crystal butterfly have been broken off. Obviously, it is not easy to intercept sebum from a master.
"How's your check going?"
Fang Dongyuan walked up to Liuyuntai in the evening breeze, looked at "Fu Xiangfeng" and said, "You played your third brother, what did you find out?"
Seeing Fang Dongyuan, Fu Tongjun was not surprised: "I can be sure that the person in the glass cover is indeed the head of the Fu family."
"So, do you rule out the possibility of suspended animation?"
"From this sebum observation, the 'Tao Yun' on his body is gradually heading towards death. It means that he is indeed dead."
"Just a gradual death? Didn't he die during the day?"
"The monk's physical body is full of vitality, unless his life span is over. Otherwise, in the state of sudden death, the Tao charm contained in the physical body will dissipate little by little. This process will last for a period of time - you know that if you put the fish and shrimp in the pot for cooking just after death, the body will still be
Beating, right? Similar principle."
The soul leaves the body, the heart stops, and the brain stops functioning.
However, the remaining vitality of the physical body still maintains the activity of the "Dao Rune". Only when all the vitality disappears, the Dao Rune will become silent. At this time, the physical body will still not corrupt.
This is also the reason why many monks' bodies remain incorruptible for hundreds or thousands of years after their death - the Tao still exists within their bodies.
Only if the avenue runes further collapse, destroy, and eventually become nothing, will the monk's body completely disappear. This process takes hundreds or thousands of years.
"Henghua uses the 'Returning Yang Seal' to ensure that the Tao's charm is immortal and that its vitality is still maintaining the operation of the Tao."
Fu Tongjun explained and thought at the same time.
