Xie Changyuan mobilized his energy and blood, causing his body temperature to rise sharply. Slowly, with the cooperation of breathing techniques, his body surface began to turn red, and the arm that had been stretched by Monk Guangji slowly returned to its original shape.
Amazing resilience, this is also a major advantage of the indestructible golden body.
His body is like a soldering iron, capable of astonishing lethality and considerable self-healing ability.
After getting the answer he wanted from Monk Guangji, Xie Changyuan walked over to Master Ziyin and sat down.
These two people didn't seem to get along well from the beginning. Xie Changyuan sat down, and Master Ziyin moved to the side, while staring at Xie Changyuan with an unhappy look.
Obviously, the appearance of this monk today has nothing to do with Xie Changyuan, especially Zhenren Ziyin.
The grudge between these two people all stems from an escort incident outside Qingshan City.
Because of Zhenren Ziyin, the Zhengxing Escort Bureau's smuggling of saltpeter was uncovered by the Eight King Kongs of Liang Boshan. As a result, all the escorts on the scene were killed. Only Li Qing, the second lady of the Zhengxing Escort Bureau, survived.
And misfortunes never come singly. Because of the damage to the escorts, the Shenhua Sect, as the employer, also blocked the door of the Zhengxing Escort Bureau. Saint Youshu was so angry that she flattened the entire Zhengxing Escort Bureau with her palm. It was under the intervention of Xie Changyuan.
That’s why we didn’t involve the last remaining father and daughter in the escort agency.
Therefore, in Xie Changyuan's eyes, although this old Taoist priest looked like an immortal, he was actually a dead man.
The old Taoist priest was also very unhappy with Xie Changyuan, because he was a dignified Taoist leader. He warmly invited Xie Changyuan to go with him but was robbed instead. This was simply a big stain in his life.
If they hadn't been on opposite sides of the Twelve Divine Palaces, I'm afraid it would have been impossible to make and eat the noodles together today.
Seeing Xie Changyuan sitting next to him, the old Taoist priest immediately asked.
"what?"
Xie Changyuan glanced at him and silently crossed his legs.
He asked in an extremely philistine tone.
"Let me tell you, there is something wrong with the Tiyun Kung Fu you gave me at the beginning. I have been practicing it for more than half a year and I still haven't achieved the effect of walking on the clouds and mist that you mentioned."
The old Taoist snorted coldly and teased.
"What kind of understanding do you have? Our Taoist sect's top Qinggong can be learned by anyone? Your Tiyun Kung, which you have practiced hard, is at best creative, but at worst is unreasonable!"
Master Ziyin sneered at Xie Changyuan, but in fact he was quite surprised by Xie Changyuan's Tiyun Kung Fu.
Tiyun Gong does not belong to Taoism, but to the category of Qinggong. The threshold for entry is low, but it is easy to learn but difficult to master.
Ordinary warriors, even if they learn this skill with a poor foundation, can achieve effects that are far superior to other light skills in the world. However, if they do not master the method of running internal skills, they will never be able to achieve the highest state of walking on clouds and mist.
It's like a treasure buried underground. Those who don't have a shovel can only dig with their hands to pick up some scraps of gold outside the core of the treasure.
But those with shovels can go straight to the core of the treasure.
As for Xie Changyuan, he falls in between the two. His Tiyun Kung Fu has broken away from the ordinary world, but it has not touched the essentials.
This surprised Master Ziyin. After all, he already knew what Xie Changyuan's original qualifications were, and also knew that his meridians had been completely fused into eight. With such a body, he could practice Tiyun Gong and still achieve some success.
It's incredible.
Even Master Ziyin wanted to know how he did it, but he was unwilling to ask due to face issues.
Xie Changyuan looked at Master Ziyin up and down,
Immediately, he also said teasingly.
"I knew you were the ones who love to make lies. You can brag to the sky. Ordinary Qinggong techniques can be so miraculous by you."
This sentence really touched the heart of Master Ziyin.
He stood up with a roar, raised his big palm and slapped Xie Changyuan directly on the head.
In the past six months, the old Taoist priest has been recuperating. Although his cultivation has not been completely restored, it has improved a lot compared to when he was chased thousands of miles away. With the support of strength, he is no longer afraid of Xie Changyuan, and he immediately stands up like a
A big slap makes you want to start a fight directly.
But unexpectedly, Xie Changyuan was not angry at all. Instead, he looked at the old Taoist priest playfully, with the corners of his mouth raised, as if the slap did not cause any harm to him.
On the contrary, the scene of Ziyin Zhenzhen beating someone is more like beating someone when the truth is not justified, which is a bit cowardly!
Master Ziyin glared at Xie Changyuan. He was so angry at his playful eyes that he puffed his beard and glared.
"You're such a bastard!"
Since ancient times, Taoism has been a religious force native to the Eastern Territory. It has experienced ancient glory, with people becoming immortals almost every year, and its popularity is unprecedented.
With the deterioration of the general environment, the path of ascetics to immortality was blocked, and the prestige of Taoism was once reduced. It gradually degenerated from the point where the imperial royal family competed for worship to the self-proclaimed monastery and worked hard to practice hard.
As the Taoists left, a group of people began to appear among the people.
These people have more or less mastered some Taoist knowledge or skills. They are not monks, but they wear Taoist robes. Some hold flagpoles in their hands and walk around the streets, and some directly set up stalls in the streets, claiming to be half-immortals.
Eliminate disasters and solve problems, pray for blessings and peace.
This type of people is a mixed bag, and there are some who have real skills, but most of them are charlatans who are out to defraud money.
Because of the emergence of this group of people, the public's perception of Taoist priests has gradually become unkind, and more people have been deceived and deceived. In the future, whether they see real Taoist priests or fake Taoist priests, they will stay away from them.
Of course, there are also those who go up there and actively seek trouble, which makes the group of little Taoist priests who go down the mountain to buy some daily necessities suffer a lot. After returning to the mountain, they inevitably complain to their teachers.
Even if a Taoist leader goes down to rectify this group of swindlers, the final effect will be minimal, simply because there are too many swindlers, and Taoism is weak, and no matter how long your hand is, you can't reach too far.
Because of some charlatans, the reputation of the local religion in Dongtu has become less good, which has caused a lot of headaches for the group of true Taoist priests staying in the mountains.
As the leader of Taoism, the most unpleasant thing for Master Ziyin to see is this kind of scene, and the most unpleasant thing to hear is the remarks that the Taoist Taoist likes to brag.
Therefore, Master Ziyin was very angry. He put his hands into his sleeves and paced back and forth, his eyes always looking fiercely at Xie Changyuan. After thinking about it, it seemed that he wanted to rectify the name of Taoism, so he immediately stopped.
"My Taoist ancestors have said that humans follow the earth, earth follows heaven, heaven follows Tao, and Tao follows nature. Human beings, the path of cultivation should follow the way of nature and return to nature. Do you know that?"
Master Ziyin asked fiercely.
"I know." Xie Changyuan nodded.
Master Ziyin said again.
"In governing a country, Taoism emphasizes governing by doing nothing. This is the nature of the law. There is no forced intervention or forced correction. Let nature take its course. It will allow the people to be self-reliant, and everyone can live for themselves and live and work in peace and contentment."
"The natural nature of self-cultivation does not mean that you should practice aimlessly or do nothing. It requires you to broaden your horizons, see far enough and correctly, keep your mind on the road, not take the rugged road, and be in harmony with your body.
Being in nature and understanding nature is the right path."
"What does this mean?" Xie Changyuan put on a curious look, actually just to find out more content.
Master Ziyin's expression softened slightly, and he seemed to be quite satisfied with Xie Changyuan's attitude.
As long as Xie Changyuan maintains a good attitude, the old Taoist priest doesn't mind saying a few more words.
He said, "The reason why Ladder Cloud Kung Fu allows you to step on clouds and mist is not that you use flying clouds as a ladder to step on, but that you understand every detail of nature and transform yourself into an ethereal existence like clouds and mist.
With this foundation, as long as you exert a little force, you can move hundreds of feet without touching the ground."
"The key point is the word enlightenment!"
Master Ziyin was like a teacher who hates iron but cannot become steel, teaching Xie Changyuan a lesson.
Xie Changyuan frowned, and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to scratch his head. The expression on his face seemed to understand something, but he didn't quite understand.
He asked, "What you said is too vague and general. Can you be more specific?"
Master Ziyin took a deep breath and thought for a long time before saying four words.
“Relaxing and happy.”
Ascetics, in the eyes of the world, have always been existences without desires and pursuits. There are even some ascetic people who make people feel very painful.
But people in the world don’t know that people who practice Taoism often enjoy practicing Taoism.
Joy, in Taoist culture, is not the final state, but it is a necessary path.
Practitioners often need to purify their minds. If the six desires are not extinguished and the inner demons are not eliminated, there will be many troubles and delusions in the heart, which means the body and mind are suffering.
If one abandons the three poisons and six desires, one can step into a state of purity, and this purity is the basis for a successful person's heart to be happy only. To practice for happiness is the condition that practitioners must meet.
Therefore, Ziyin Zhenren believes that to understand nature and integrate oneself with nature, the first thing to do is to feel relaxed and happy.
Of course, this is only the first half of the practice. After the true practice reaches the point where you feel relaxed and happy, you will gradually enter the state of perfection. There is no joy. Once you enter the right path, you have attained the path. Although it is called attaining the path, there is actually no gain.
.
Half a sentence was enough for Xie Changyuan to understand something. If he told the whole sentence, he would be worried that Xie Changyuan would fall into chaos again. Instead of telling the whole story, he might as well take it step by step.
Then, Master Ziyin saw Xie Changyuan's expression of sudden realization and nodded secretly.
Xie Changyuan took a deep breath and immediately bowed to Master Ziyin with a cupped fist.
