Chapter 1031: Not focused on anything else, seeing no one
"Why did Yan Song send such a fool who is greedy for power? There will be big trouble now!"
At the mouth of Hangzhou Bay, Guo Hongjing and Wang Yongning watched another headless corpse float to the shore, and looked at each other with extremely ugly expressions.
Two things have troubled them recently.
The first thing is that Tao Yin's identity suddenly spread among the gentry class. He was an illegitimate son who was jealous of the ladies but couldn't stand the door. He worked hard to practice his special skills and killed Japanese bandits to serve the country. He was made up to have a nose and eyes. It was obviously not a random thing.
passed on.
The people of Hangzhou suddenly realized that he was the son of the current Taoist Celestial Master. When they heard that the sea ceremony was about to start, many people immediately came to help and were grateful for the anti-Japanese hero's actions.
The two masters who really knew Tao Yin's identity were confused, but they were afraid that the paint would get darker and the news would spread more widely, so they could only keep silent.
The second thing was to kill Japanese pirates.
Guo Hongjing and Wang Yongning did not care about the war. It did not matter to these two scholars whether the people along the coast were invaded and killed by Japanese pirates for years, or whether the Ming army defeated the Japanese pirates and won.
What they care about is that ordinary wars must be resolved by ordinary forces. This is an established rule.
Since the great changes in the world, the spiritual energy has been polluted, the physical condition of mortals has been deteriorating, and the number of practitioners has been decreasing rapidly. Resources are actually not expensive and scarce. This kind of rules must be set, otherwise there will be fighting and conflict, and life will not be easy for all parties.
Of course, rules will always be broken. When the country's survival is really critical, the practitioners living in seclusion in the blessed land will come forward to help. But now is not a war to destroy the country, but just robbery. There are still a large number of Japanese pirates.
Coastal merchants, involved in smuggling, there is me among you, and you among me, there is no need to be anxious at all...
Therefore, before coming here, Tao Zhongwen ordered to apologize to the Japanese spiritual community. It is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. He also tacitly acknowledged that the other party could also kill a certain number of ordinary Ming troops to avoid causing a bigger disturbance.
The results are good now. Zhao Wenhua got a poison from nowhere and killed more Japanese pirates.
Guo Hongjing personally inspected the headless corpse and determined that it was poisoned again. He cut off his head and calculated the number of casualties: "In less than ten days, the number of Japanese poisoned to death is probably in the thousands. This poison is extremely poisonous."
It gathers in the corpse and does not spread outward. It is obviously an unusual means. I believe the Japanese side can also see it. The Shingon Sect and Seimei Shrine have not responded yet, making this matter difficult to handle!"
Wang Yongning threw out a talisman, rolled up the body, and buried it carefully, saying in a deep voice: "The main thing is the Shingon sect. Now the Japanese secular world is in a war, the political power is in chaos, Seimei Shrine is involved in the battle, and its status is far inferior to the Buddhist detachment of the Shingon sect.
…”
In the early Heian period of Japan, which corresponds to the Central Plains Dynasty, it was the middle of the Tang Dynasty. Fifty years after the Anshi Rebellion, a Japanese eminent monk Kukai accompanied the Tang envoy to China to seek Dharma. It is said that he learned many esoteric magical powers to subdue demons and exorcise ghosts, and returned to Japan to establish the foundation in Mount Koya
He established the Shingon Sect, spread Buddhism widely, wiped out a large number of ghosts and suppressed them, and ended the era of humans and ghosts living together.
Since then, the Shingon sect has maintained a transcendent status, and now it has become the leader in the Japanese spiritual world. If it can convince the other party, it will be no problem for practitioners of other sects.
Guo Hongjing frowned: "It's a pity that our Buddhist cultivators in the Ming Dynasty have closed the mountain gate long ago. Otherwise, letting them come forward would make it easier to communicate with the Shingon Sect."
The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism has been going on for a long time. Now that the Taoist sect is booming, they, the Taoist priests, quite enjoy controlling the monks, but those Buddhist cultivators are not stupid either. They hide in the blessed land spiritual area and never set foot in the mortal world.
Nowadays, there are still ordinary monks, but practitioners who are proficient in Buddhist magical powers are no longer visible. It is difficult to find connections if you want to establish relationships. The two masters sighed again.
Why don't you understand? Cultivation is not about fighting and killing. Cultivation is about being human and being wise!
In desperation, the two of them prepared for the worst: "Hurry up and sacrifice to the sea. After the sacrifice is completed, return to the capital immediately. If something big happens here, it has nothing to do with us!"
…
Inside the east wall courtyard.
Xiaoqian, Tao Yin, and Chi Lian stood outside the alchemy room, feeling the huge movement inside.
Not to mention the solemn expressions on the first two's faces, even Chi Lian, who felt something was wrong the more he thought about it and needed more pills to make it cost-effective, became serious: "What kind of magic is this?"
Tao Yin explained: "It's not magic, it's the golden elixir avenue."
Chi Lian was silent for a moment and sighed: "Son, this Taoist doctor knows a little bit of everything, doesn't he need a little too much?"
In fact, there are not many. The golden elixir avenue was originally derived from Lin Lingsu’s internal refining method of the Shenxiao sect.
Taoist orthodoxy does not talk about elixirs breaking down into Yuanying, Yuanying transforming into gods, and after ascending, it will continue to ascend. It is a road of inner and outer golden elixirs.
Gold is a strong and indestructible thing.
Alchemy is something that is perfect, bright, pure and without loss.
A foreigner’s golden elixir can become an immortal by taking it. There is a nine-turn golden elixir in the world of Journey to the West;
The internal golden elixir does not condense into a golden bead in the body, but gathers one's essence, energy, spirit, heart, mind, and form into one place, forming a round lump, light and slippery, imperceptible, and incomprehensible.
A golden elixir that has been pondered is completely perfect and untainted by the world. This is the "golden elixir" of the inner family.
In short, this is an illusory realm, not a real thing. It cannot be used to hit people, nor can it be forcibly damaged by external forces.
Cultivate the golden elixir path to the extreme, which is the so-called Hunyuan. It is invincible for all tribulations, invincible from all evils, transcends external things, and is not affected by cause and effect. It shows its own cultivation and reaches the state of great perfection.
Of course, the simpler the summary, the more difficult it is to practice. When Bodhi Patriarch taught Wukong, he said: "It's difficult! Difficult! Difficult! The most mysterious way is, don't take the golden elixir for granted. If you don't meet the master who teaches you the secret, you will be speechless and your tongue will be dry."
"...
He also pointed out the benefits and harms of the three disasters, "This is the extraordinary way to seize the creation of the heaven and the earth, and invade the mystery of the sun and the moon. After the elixir is completed, ghosts and gods cannot tolerate it." There is a disaster every five hundred years. If you can avoid it, your life will be as long as the heaven.
Qi, he couldn't escape, so he died.
Li Yan didn't know the specific cultivation methods, but he had a wide range of knowledge and could understand the truth from many things. In addition, the soul-splitting incarnation was starting from scratch, so he was ready to find a path that was unique to him, and finally
A golden elixir avenue that suits you.
At this time, sitting in front of the alchemy furnace, all kinds of things appeared around him, tempering both internally and externally.
There is a relic of a great demon, which has transformed into a huge red-scaled python, entrenched all over the body, with traces of poisonous gas penetrating all around;
There is the elixir of five thunders, which contains the thunder, and the five thunders strike the top, intertwining into dazzling iron trees and silver flowers;
There are pages of true scriptures, surrounded by the light of the Buddha. The Buddha is sitting upright, reciting the scriptures, and the lotus flower blooms on his tongue;
Everything can be turned into tempering, and everything can be turned into nourishment. Only by subduing your own desires can you achieve the true truth.
Not only Wukong practices like that, but every practitioner does.
Li Yan had been practicing for a long time, and his mighty aura slowly converged. He opened his eyes, stretched out his hand, and the scriptures, thunder pills, and poisonous fangs around him all fell into his hands like tired birds returning to the forest.
Needless to say the first two, there are originally Buddhist concepts and methods that echo the Five Thunder Gods. However, the poisonous fangs are the ancestral relics of the red-scaled python clan and cannot be grasped by outsiders. However, they are held obediently in their hands at this time, and the poisonous energy is restrained.
.
"The golden elixir has not yet been achieved, but the idea is correct."
"In this filthy world, we must pursue the most original state and not be confused by external objects."
Li Yan nodded, the Tang Dynasty world is the way of strength, the Water Margin world is the way of Qi and blood, and this world is the Golden Elixir Way.
After finishing his exercise, he flicked his long sleeves and said, "Come in."
The door of the alchemy room opened, and Xiaoqian, Tao Yin and Chi Lian walked in. They looked at the man who was sitting in front of the alchemy furnace and looked like an immortal, showing awe.
Chi Lian's expression changed, and this person's aura became more and more unfathomable. Not to mention that she was still injured, even in her prime, she was a little frightened. Her attitude suddenly changed, and she looked at the fangs eagerly, without asking for them directly.
With a thought, Li Yan suddenly flew out the poisonous fangs and landed in front of him: "This thing helped me refine the Five Poison Pills and temper my essence. I have benefited a lot. Thank you very much."
"Ha, you're welcome, you're welcome!"
Chi Lian took it over joyfully and breathed a long sigh of relief, but when he touched his magic weapon, he showed doubts.
Why is something not quite right?
Li Yan turned to Tao Yin: "What's happening over there with the Japanese practitioners?"
Tao Yin said solemnly: "No, but first the real Japanese were killed, and then hundreds of ninjas died. The most important thing is that they lost the Hundred Ghosts at Night. They won't let it go."
Li Yan summoned a gourd of pills: "My current cultivation level is not enough to go to the Japanese mainland. It would be best if the other party comes to my door."
"But we must protect the people and not let them suffer innocently in the fight. These 'poison-avoiding pills' have been improved again and put into the important water sources in the city to prevent the Japanese from poisoning."
Tao Yin stepped forward to take it: "Leave it to me."
Li Yan then passed the picture of Hundred Ghosts at Night to Xiaoqian: "I leave the night duty to you."
Xiaoqian took it and pressed it skillfully, and three strange beasts appeared, with their heads shaking left and right rhythmically, and their eyes dazed. They were named Sichuan Otters. They liked to transform into beautiful women holding umbrellas and charm pedestrians passing by the river.
.
Originally, he was very violent, from charming to killing passers-by. Now the rules have changed, and there is a chance to change his ways. There is a task bar listed in the picture scroll. Hundred ghosts can complete various tasks to accumulate virtue and get the opportunity to be saved.
Sichuan Otter signed up immediately with a positive attitude.
Xiaoqian also said: "Now that the duty list has been arranged, they will lead the tribe on duty tonight to guard against Japanese aliens."
After the words fell, the three Sichuan otters nodded in unison, shaking their heads.
Seeing that both Tao Yin and Xiao Qian had something to do, Chi Lian expressed that he also had a sense of presence: "What about me? What about me? If you give me more pills, I can also help with things!"

Li Yan said: "Two of Tao Zhongwen's disciples are offering sacrifices to the sea. Keep an eye on them to prevent them from doing bad things, but don't touch them. Now we are focusing on resisting the Japanese. If we really want to deal with the Shenxiao Master, it won't be too late to go to the capital.
"
Chi Lian nodded: "Okay!"
After the arrangements were made, Li Yan immersed himself in cultivation again.
For the next few days, nothing was out of the ordinary in Hangzhou until the night before the festival.
Hu Zongxian appeared in the courtyard with a very solemn expression: "Sir, Governor Zhang and Governor Li have disappeared inexplicably!"
