Chapter 305: The Heaven and Earth of Mysterious Techniques
"Wolf-headed man?" Xia Huanggong thought for a while and said: "The dog soldiers who haunt the quicksands of the western border are the gods that they believe in. They are wolf-headed and man-made. Now they are highly valued under the command of King Baixiang."
"That's them I'm talking about." Zhao Shu said: "There is also another matter. Qingya Zhenjun, the immortal ancestor of Chongxuan Pavilion, was invaded by evil gods from outside the world. Most of the cave collapsed, and Zhenjun himself died as a result. According to
The Immortal General of the Cave Heaven reported that the evil god from outside the world is a giant wolf that is as big as a mountain, and there may be a great connection between the two."
Xia Huanggong looked solemn and asked: "Does the leader know about this?"
Zhao Shu nodded and said: "I have informed Senior Han Yuanzi, he said that it will be confirmed after detailed investigation, and he is currently in retreat at the top of Xuanzhao Peak."
"Oh, I understand." Xia Huanggong frowned, obviously trusting Han Yuanzi very much.
"I don't know... what does Senior Han Yuanzi mean by detailed investigation?" Zhao Miao sounded cautious. After all, this may be related to the secrets of his sect and it is not appropriate to delve into it.
Xia Huanggong smiled warmly, stroked his beard and asked, "Do you know why the main summit of Tiancheng Mountain is named 'Xuanzhao'?"
"The sun, moon and stars rotate around and shine down on the earth. Your sect takes the Three Lights of Shangjing as the foundation of its immortal method. I think it's because the top of the mountain is the most suitable for practicing the Three Lights." Zhao Shui replied.
"Indeed." Xia Huanggong said: "The top of Xuanzhao Peak is so towering that it is the place where our disciples ascend to enlightenment. Over time, the weather becomes different. The master retreats at the top of the peak and can sense the sky, or through the three
When light comes, you can see everything in the world."
Zhao Shu asked further: "Could it be that Senior Han Yuanzi can use this to detect the location of the evil god outside the sky?"
"The master will never rashly investigate the evil god from outside the world." Xia Huanggong said: "This generation has the power of telepathy. If he directly detects the location of the evil god, the other party will probably be able to sense the master's actions. This is not appropriate.
"
Zhao Shu nodded silently. Back then, Liang Tao also had a similar experience of being able to respond to calls by name and follow his name frequently. When others mentioned him by name, he would have some subtle spiritual senses, which would in turn sense the words and deeds of the person calling him.
Han Yuanzi had reached the realm of immortality, and he thought he had similar abilities. Zhao Shu couldn't help but wonder, perhaps experts from the immortal family like them would be able to sense many mundane whispers just by sitting around and doing nothing?
No wonder Han Yuanzi didn't like to show off in public, otherwise many subtle reactions would come to him at once, and no matter how firm his mind was, he would feel overwhelmed.
However, we learned from Xia Huanggong's words that Han Yuanzi was in retreat at Xuanzhao Peak, and he could not only detect things outside the sky, but also have an insight into the world. In this way, the Shangjing Sect could not only accurately sense the trends of evil spirits in the world, but could even monitor the world.
, the foreboding is ominous.
I am afraid that only the Ming Dynasty's precious mirror that illuminates the world can compare with this wonderful effect. But if it were not for Han Yuanzi or Liang Tao, they would not be able to fully demonstrate their effectiveness.
It's just that Han Yuanzi is different from Liang Tao. He obviously restrained his desire to use Xuanzhao Peak to monitor the world. If it were Liang Tao, he probably wanted to use this to gain power.
Although in Zhao Shui's view, Han Yuanzi lived in seclusion in the mountains and had no reputation for power, he was actually powerful, but he never showed any abuse.
"I heard that fellow Taoist encountered an accident when he opened the portal to the cave in Dunjia Mountain?" Xia Huanggong asked.
"Ashamed." Zhao Shu said: "That cave is not allowed to be invaded by outsiders. Emperor Ruiding and I were shut out."
"Do you plan to continue searching for the cave portal in the future?" Xia Huanggong asked.
Zhao Shu shook his head and replied: "I relied on an immortal magic weapon to deduce the changes in Qi, so that I could determine the location of the cave entrance. Now that magic weapon has been taken away by the cave, there is nothing I can do now."
"Immortal magic weapon?" Xia Huanggong became interested: "If you are willing, fellow Taoist, you might as well explain it in detail. I know a little about the art of refining weapons."
Zhao Shu couldn't help but laugh. Xia Huanggong was the master of weapon refining who proposed the theory of natal magic weapons. Even Zhao Shu had to admit that among the Xuanmen immortals today, Xia Huanggong must be one of the most accomplished people in the process of refining weapons.
"To be honest, I'm not very familiar with the magic weapon of the True Essence Lock." After Zhao Shu finished speaking, he closed his eyes and thought, and directly formed his Qi and transformed into a jade cong that was exactly the same as the True Essence Lock.
Now that Zhao Mi has become an immortal, although his cultivation and magic power are not as profound as those of the Four Immortals, he can form Qi and take shape. At this moment, the jade cong in Zhao Mi's hand, both in shape, touch and texture, is locked with the true essence.
There is no difference, it is not an illusion, but it does not have the magical effect of the True Essence Lock.
"Jade cong?" Xia Huanggong took it and looked at it for a moment: "In today's world, there are almost no magic weapons in the shape of jade cong. I remember that when Xuanju occupied the imperial capital, a group of tomb robbers took advantage of the chaos and dug it up.
The imperial mausoleum of Tianxia has a jade cong among the underworld objects."
Zhao Miao looked a little embarrassed: "To tell you the truth, I found the True Essence Lock in a mausoleum, but it was a tomb built by the great demon to hide the cave."
"The jade cong is not designed for the underworld." Xia Huanggong looked at Zhao Shu: "You should know better than me."
"The green jade is offered to the sky, the yellow cong is offered to the earth, the green gui is offered to the east, the red bead is offered to the south, the white amber is offered to the west, and the Xuanhuang is offered to the north." Zhao Miao said: "This is the letter used by the altar to praise the five directions of the emperor and the empress.
Gods, according to their status, have different numbers of religious rituals."
"As expected of the successor of the Zanli Official." Xia Huanggong looked at the green jade cong in his hand: "It's just that this one is not the correct color of the five qi of the ceremony."
Zhao Shu said: "The Zhenyuan Lock is made of Kunlun jade. It is square on the outside and round on the inside, which means hiding the sky and entering the earth. It was used by the ancient immortals to open up the cave and heaven, and used it to deduce the movement of Hong Jun and the creation of heaven and earth.
I also used the True Essence Lock to store foreign objects."
"Hide the heaven and enter the earth?" Xia Huanggong pondered for a while: "Using the jade cong as a vessel to condense the void inside and store external objects, from a philosophical point of view, it makes sense."
"When I opened the portal to the cave, I relied on the True Essence Lock as the key. Otherwise, I would not be able to open it just by sensing the approach of the portal," Zhao Shu said.
Xia Huanggong suddenly said: "Why do you want to leave a magic weapon that can open the door in the fairy cave that refuses outsiders to invade?"
Zhao Shu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and these words immediately made him realize: "Yes, if the True Yuan Jade Mansion cannot allow any outsiders to invade, then there is no need to build the True Yuan Lock from the beginning."
For a long time in the past, Zhao Shu thought that Ling Xiao was the master of the True Yuan Jade Mansion, and naturally he didn't think about it at all. But now he knew that Ling Xiao was not the master of the Cave Heaven, and that the Zhen Yuan Lock was the key to the Cave Heaven Gate.
The fact that it will live in the world and change hands several times is worth pondering in itself.
"Opening the Cave Heaven is a real magical method of the immortal family, but people like you and me can also imitate it." Xia Huanggong said: "I have understood the method of the Pot Heaven in the past, and I can open another place in the pot.
Small heaven and earth. Unfortunately, my cultivation was not enough at that time, and I could not adjust the yin and yang for a long time, which caused the Qi to be unbalanced and disordered, and the heaven and earth in the pot could not continue."
"How does a pot contain heaven and earth?" Zhao Shu said: "I once saw Chongxuan Hall build a palace using this method. It looks like there is only one palace on the outside, but there are many palaces on the inside."
Back then in Xingluo County, Liang Shuoan lived in the golden-domed palace on Jiutian Yuntai. Zhao Shui had also seen the scene inside.
"The palace is nothing more than wood and stone dead objects. To clear the upper and lower four directions, all it takes is a sufficient and complete formation of talismans and seals." Xia Huanggong said: "But I hope to gather vitality in the pot sky, so as to cultivate vegetation and nourish living creatures.
."
Zhao Shu thought to himself for a moment, then frowned and shook his head: "It's difficult, it's too difficult. All living things in the world thrive and survive, but it's not just sunshine, rain and dew that can cultivate vegetation."
During these days of consolidating cultivation and warming up the fetus, Zhao Shu finally understood how difficult it is for vitality to sprout again.
In particular, the realm of becoming a fetal immortal is difficult to conquer just by concentrating on pure cultivation. In addition to having a solid and solid foundation and an understanding of the germination of life in heaven and earth, it also requires a clever opportunity for the physical body to be reborn.
Lingxiao once said that the birth of a fetus is like a woman's pregnancy, just like giving birth to another self. The vitality that emerges in this process is the work of heaven and earth. As long as it can be grasped, it is the foundation of immortality.
Moreover, as long as the body is transformed into a womb immortal, the physical body is refined and transformed, and the body becomes a semi-immortal, it will break through the ordinary life span. With proper maintenance, it will not be a problem to live in the world for hundreds of years.
For example, the Four Immortals became successful in cultivation at the end of Tianxia. In terms of years of residence, they were longer than Liang Tao.
The opportunity for Zhao Shu to regain his vitality was none other than that he was severely injured by the Jing Zhen sword light emitted by Zhen Yuan Jade Mansion. His organs, muscles and bones were shattered, and he just relied on his cultivation base to save his breath.
When Zhao Shu was brought back to Tiancheng Mountain by Han Yuanzi and placed in the Eternal Lotus Pond to recuperate from his injuries, the glimmer of life was revived, as if breaking through the shackles, allowing Zhao Shu's physical body to reshape itself from the inside out, and naturally condense.
Fetus fairy.
It can be said that this kind of opportunity is almost impossible to repeat. Even if Han Yuanzi comes a step late and Zhao Shu does not receive proper treatment and care, even if he barely saves his life, he will not be able to break through the realm.
This is also the reason why many people have been practicing for a longer period of time than Zhao Shu, but they are still unable to become immortals.
In order to better consolidate his cultivation, Zhao Shu also took the Jiuding Divine Pill left to him by Liang Tao, which greatly improved his cultivation and mana, and he did not have to spend several years warming up the Fetus Immortal.
"It doesn't matter, I won't be able to go down the mountain for a while anyway. Why not take advantage of this time to pick up the things that were neglected in the past." Xia Huanggong's words interrupted Zhao Shu's meditation: "Before you leave Tiancheng Mountain in the future, you might as well go alone again."
Zhengju, I have something to give to fellow Taoist."
"Then I will be disrespectful." Zhao Shu bowed his hand and thanked him, instead of pretending to decline like in the past.
…
"Fellow Daoist Zhao? What are you doing?" Qian Shaobai passed by the farmhouse and saw Zhao Mi with his bare feet turning the soil with a wooden rake.
"Fellow Daoist Qian, have you returned to the mountain?" Zhao Shu looked around and said, "Senior Han Yuanzi left me as a guest in the mountain. I have nothing to do. I will learn some farming from him and I will be able to plant rice in a few days."
Qian Shaobai looked at Zhao Shu. In his impression, the head of Han Yuanzi was not easy to give advice to others, so he asked seriously: "I heard that you were working in Dunjia Mountain before, but when you met the masters of the Rising Sun Cult, you still...
He was seriously injured, do you know the extent of his injuries?"
Zhao Shu smiled and said: "Do I look like I'm injured now? Even if I am, I'll be fine within half a year. Thank you Taoist Qian for your concern."
Qian Shaobai nodded numbly. He had been working next to Zuo Xiang He Qingchen before, and he also knew that Zhao Shui had been staying in Tiancheng Mountain recently. But according to Zuo Xiang's wishes, Shang Jingzong was clearly worried that Zhao Shui would be elsewhere.
This caused trouble, so Zhao Shu was put under house arrest in the mountains under the pretext of being a guest.
Normally, with Zhao Shu's wisdom, he should be able to see through this intention, but unexpectedly, he turned out to be relaxed and at ease, tending crops and rice in a farmhouse in the mountains, and he didn't look like he was under house arrest at all.
"Isn't Fellow Taoist Qian working at the foot of the mountain?" Zhao Shu invited Qian Shaobai into the house. He put the wooden rake away, not caring that his bare feet were covered in mud.
"The matter is almost settled. I'm going back to the mountain on behalf of Prime Minister Zuo to report the previous and later disposition to the master." Qian Shaobai explained: "And as the new year is approaching, most of the disciples in the sect will go back to the mountain to gather to worship their ancestors.
"
Zhao Shu was a little curious: "Does Shang Jingzong also celebrate the New Year? I thought people who cultivated immortals didn't talk about the cold and heat of the years."
"It is true that the mountains are not as lively as the world of mortals. Worshiping ancestors is also solemn and sincere, and there is not much festive atmosphere." Qian Shaobai asked casually: "Then I wonder if the halls in Huaxu Kingdom will celebrate festivals?"
Zhao Shu was stunned for a moment. Qian Shaobai knew that his words were inappropriate and quickly waved his hands: "I made a mistake and made fellow Taoist Zhao laugh."
"There's nothing to laugh about." Zhao Shu sighed softly, recalling the past and said: "It's hard to say about other Guanshen. The Huaiying Guan also celebrates the New Year, but it is much more deserted. Because many Guansheng are born into wealth.
, they all go home before and after the New Year. Those like me who stay behind in the academy usually celebrate with other coaches or go to nearby towns to play.”
Zhao Shu felt a little emotional. It seemed that he had not spent a serious human festival for many years. No matter how he claimed to be an outsider cultivating immortals, the kind of days when he coexisted with people he knew well, had fun and celebrated, always made him happy.
People miss.
Qian Shaobai remained silent for a while, fearing that if he spoke too much, he would irritate the other person.
"Let's not talk about this." Zhao Shu waved his hand, poured a bowl of water for Qian Shaobai, and asked: "How is the situation down the mountain now? Has the Rising Sun Sect been wiped out? Can you tell me about it?"
"The Rising Sun Religion is not in its current state. Although the rebellious members are scattered all over the place, they were quickly put down." Qian Shaobai said: "However, there are several sects colluding with the Rising Sun Religion, and there are also people in the court who are secretly colluding with the Religion.
Tongjiequ. A few days ago, I followed the peak master Fang Yuanzi to the north to rectify the Yanran Mountain."
"Yanran Mountain? I remember that they also have the northern sect of the Bear Kingdom, right?" Zhao Shu asked.
"It was once prosperous before Xuanju went south, but because he refused to submit to the Xuanming Kingdom, the sect's dojo was destroyed by the evil dragon, and the disciples had to flee. After the battle of killing the dragon, Yanran Mountain was restored." Qian Shaobai said greatly.
sigh:
"I just didn't expect that they would actually collude with the Rising Sun Cult. The Left Prime Minister sent people to investigate, and who would have thought that a series of major cases involving border town generals having liaisons with northern Xinjiang tribes would be revealed later. The result was naturally a bloody storm.
