After observing filial piety for forty-nine days, Tianci took Mu Yi, Wang Mu, and Wang Yi and moved into the Chair Mountain and Ice Lake.
Sitting cross-legged on the suspended attic that was originally a stone platform, overlooking the brand new mountain of chairs, I was in a trance for a while and couldn't help but sigh:
"What a great change!"
In five years, Tianci deliberately let go of himself and turned himself into a competent husband, boss, father and son.
In the past five years, the Chengying Sword has been placed in the Sanyuan Jizhen Cave, and the practice of divine refining and physical refining has stopped. Only the solidification of the golden elixir has not been interrupted. With the help of the environment of the Sanyuan Jizhen Cave, as well as the ups and downs of the past few years,
After tempering various moods of anger, sorrow, and joy, Tianci has now reached another level, reaching the sixth level of the Golden Elixir Stage.
In the past five years, Tianci has carefully observed the entire process of the birth of two new lives, Wang Mu and Wang Yi, and also experienced the entire process of the death of their adoptive parents. Combining the research of Taki Group and various knowledge he has learned, Tianci’s understanding of the human body
I gained a new understanding of the soul and the Tao.
The human body has three souls and seven souls.
Three souls: Heavenly Soul (Embryonic Light), Earthly Soul (Shuangling), Human Soul (Ghost Essence).
The seven souls are: lying arrow, corpse dog, smelly lung, swallowing thieves, removing filth, non-poison, sparrow yin.
When a person is first born, he only has a heavenly soul (fetal light), an earthly soul (shuangling), and no human soul (ghost essence).
The human soul is the essence of the seven souls.
With the first cry, the baby officially comes into the world, and the ghost essence begins to gradually condense. One soul is condensed every seven days, and the seven souls are condensed in 7,749 days, and the human soul (ghost essence) returns to its place. In other words, the baby is born
Within forty-nine days, one is not a complete 'person'.
The human soul (ghost essence) is the essence of the seven souls. If one of the seven souls is missing, the human soul is incomplete. The master of the human soul (ghost essence) is thinking, learning, and wisdom.
The Heavenly Soul (Fetal Light) controls the human body's yang energy and is responsible for the communication between the human body and heaven and earth. If the Heavenly Soul leaves the body and the human body cannot communicate with heaven and earth, it means death.
The earth soul (shuangling) controls the yin energy of the human body and is responsible for the good and evil blessings and moral standards of the human body. When the earth soul leaves the body, the human body will have no good or evil, no beauty or ugliness, no sense of scale, and will be incompatible with the worldly environment.
The seven souls are integrated with the human body, balancing the yin and yang of the human body. They are taken from the place of birth and life, and dissipate in the place of death after death. They carry fortune, clan parents' expectations, ambitions, desires, etc. Each soul is responsible for different human organs.
, the seven souls are not here, and the responsible organs lose their support.
The seven souls are incomplete, either injured or disabled.
The human body has a lifespan limit, but the soul lives much longer than the physical body. An ordinary person, free of illness and disaster, can live about 120 years in a lifetime.
Death usually ends when the life span of the physical body ends and the soul is forced to leave the body.
After a person dies, the heavenly soul returns to Taihe, and the earthly soul returns to the underworld, and is eventually dispersed from consciousness, returns to its origin, and is reincarnated again. The human soul dissipates in the land of death over a period of seventy-seven and forty-nine days.
After the human body dies, relatives and friends can dissipate the human soul, seven souls and the physical body together in the cemetery through various funeral and soul-sending ceremonies.
A person can strengthen his body and extend his body's life through proper exercise; a monk can also nourish his body with his soul and prolong his body's life through practice.
The golden elixir path cultivates the three souls of the human body. From individual cultivation to the fusion of the three souls, it can break away from the shackles of the physical body and integrate itself into the great avenue of heaven and earth.
Is it useful to burn incense and paper as a memorial after someone dies? It does!
If the tomb is buried in a geomantic treasure land, it can keep the soul alive and protect future generations.
The earth soul returns to the underworld and will not be reincarnated immediately. It may live in a ghost town for a long time and requires money to spend.
The underworld also needs money for management.
The Taishan Ghost Mansion is too small to be the final destination of the soul, but the Fengdu Ghost Town is empty, and it is not known where the ghosts have gone.
Tianci is still at the sixth level of the golden elixir stage and is about to reach the Great Consummation. The completion of the golden elixir stage is the completion of the cultivation of the Heavenly Soul (Fetal Light). Next is the cultivation of the Earthly Soul (Shuangling) and the Human Soul (Ghost Essence).
The Nascent Soul stage is to cultivate the Earth Soul (Shuang Ling) to achieve a balance between Yin and Yang with the Heaven Soul (Fetal Light).
The soul of heaven is in the belly, the soul of earth is in the chest, and the soul of man is in the head.
······
Tianci summarized and studied the results of his five years of research one by one.
A year later, Tianci, who was practicing Purple Eyes in Donglai Pavilion, suddenly realized something, opened his eyes, stood up, and looked into the distance.
After a while, a middle-aged Taoist priest flew towards Tianci.
Seeing the person coming, Tianci quickly raised his hands and saluted:
"The seniors are here to welcome you, but the juniors are far away to welcome you!"
"Haha! Fellow Taoist, you are so polite!"
The person who came was none other than Chief Tian Dao of Baoxian Nine Chamber Cave in Qingcheng Mountain.
Tianci led Tian Tong to the teahouse by the lake, and enthusiastically introduced Mu Yi who came to serve tea.
After Mu Yi left, Tian Tong started to praise:
"We haven't seen each other for several years. My Taoist friend really wants to bring happiness to the world! I admire you so much!"
"Senior is laughing. I wonder if senior has anything to do with junior?"
"Well, something happened!"
Seeing Tianci coming straight to the point, Tian Tong was not polite:
"The Five Ridges are not at peace. I believe fellow Taoists have heard about it. According to our estimation, the war will take place in the past few years."
"Is it so serious? Can you handle it?"
"We have also made some preparations. There should be no problem in the early stage, but in the later stage... we are not optimistic."
"Then why did senior come to see me?"
"Although the situation is not optimistic, we cannot sit still and wait for death. The most important thing at the moment is to quickly improve our own strength. After some discussion, we decided to lead a group of monks to the lost world to look for opportunities for promotion. Fellow Taoist, are you willing to go together?
"
"The Lost World?"
"right!"
"Is there really a chance?"
"Presumably, yes!"
"When will we leave? How many people will we have?"
"On the fifth day of next month, together with you and me, there will be a total of five Golden Core Stage monks leading the team, fifteen Foundation Establishment Stage monks, and thirty Qi Refining Stage monks. They are all junior monks trained by each sect. We will lead the team.
The team has a huge responsibility.”
After Tianci heard this, he thought a little and asked:
"Is it really that serious?"
Tian Tong lowered his head and took a sip of tea, thought about it, and said with a heavy face:
"To be honest, we are not afraid of the low-level power! With today's technological power, we can completely handle it. But the high-level power... you and I both know that with today's technological power, it is almost impossible to cause harm to monks like you and me.
It's impossible.
In today's world of cultivation, including you and me, there are thirteen monks in the Jindan stage who can be contacted, six from Taoism and seven from Buddhism. If we add four from Tibetan Tantric Buddhism, there are seventeen; and even higher
There are currently only three Nascent Soul monks left on the first floor, two from the Taoist sect and one from the Buddhist sect; there are a total of 107 Buddhist and Taoist monks in the foundation-building stage, and more than 340 monks in the Qi-refining stage."
"So much? It's far beyond my expectation."
"What? Some people here may not necessarily participate in this incident. Even if they all participate, so what?!
A few years ago, we organized an exploration trip to Wuling Space. Do you know what’s going on inside?”
"How many?"
"There are more than twenty times the number of high-level monks above the Golden Core! There are many stages of transformation beyond the Nascent Soul, not to mention the existence of 'eternal life' according to legend."
"eternal life?"
"Yes, it is said that there are several beings living in it who live as long as heaven and earth."
"Does this kind of thing really exist in the human world?"
"Hard to say!"
"It's fine inside, why do they have to come out?!"
"Hey, it's hard to put it into words! When the race war was defeated, these defeated small ethnic groups were driven there to gather.
The human race outside is gradually declining, and they who live in a corner are getting stronger and stronger.
Later, the First Emperor rose up and wanted to reestablish the status of the human race, so he launched a conquest against them, further weakening them.
According to the agreement at that time, they could only stay inside and were not allowed to come out. Now, we have broken the rules and entered, and we have also given the inside a general understanding of the situation outside. After being holed up for so many years, malicious retaliation will inevitably occur.
Also, as the world changes, not only is the outside world no longer suitable for practicing Taoism, but the spiritual energy inside is also becoming increasingly thinner.
After all, they want more resources.
They don’t even think about it, how can we be so weak if we really have so many resources?!”
After pondering for a moment, Tianci slowly spoke:
"Where is the Lost World? Can you really improve your strength there? Why do you have to use it now?"
"Underneath the Tibetan Plateau, it is a completely different space from the outside world, and I have never been in it.
According to relevant information, it is also beyond the reach of our level, and higher-level monks don’t bother to go in. The aura inside is several times that of our outside world.
The foundation-building and qi-refining monks who entered this time are all those who have reached a bottleneck in cultivation for many years, or some who are extremely talented. I hope these people can achieve breakthroughs inside."
"Okay! I'll go."
"Okay! I'll be waiting for you at Qingcheng Mountain at noon on the fifth of next month!"
“It’s a deal!”
According to Tianci's past thoughts, it was absolutely impossible to participate. He only wanted to practice, fly to heaven, find Ka Zong, and take revenge.
After thirty years of living in the world, I have seen too many kind people and warm things. Hatred is no longer that important to Tianci. What’s more, he already has a beautiful wife, Mu Yi, and two lovely children.
My son also has the Taki Group and is a great monk in the Golden Elixir stage...
Beauty has gradually erased the scars of hatred.
But Tianci had a vague feeling that the 'lost world' mentioned by Tian Tong was probably his hometown: Lotus World.
I haven’t been home for more than 30 years. I wonder what has become of it?!
Mu Yi, mother and son were sent to Taki Group. After six years, Tianci once again shouldered the Shadow Bearing Sword and ran into the distance.
