After seeing Miao Xianyong agree, Old Li was the first to wake up, kowtowed to Miao Xianyong, and said: "Thank you for being willing to condescend to give me advice, little old man. Don't mention the word 'brother' again! I will be born next time, Old Li."
Even if you work as a cow or a horse, or weave a ring of grass, you must repay this kindness!"
Wu Qiudao didn't expect Lao Litou to kneel down so quickly. Did he think that people in ancient times were like this? He thought he was invincible. He couldn't help but kneel down for others, so he could only follow the trend and clasp his fists to signal: "Me too! What the hell?
,Thank you Brother Miao!”
Miao Xianyong nodded and said: "Actually, what Lao Li Tou said about using people to make elixirs is not groundless. Since ancient times, there has been an allusion about Zulong collecting three thousand boys and girls to refine the 'human elixir'."
Wu Qiudao asked curiously: "Aren't those three thousand boys and girls the alchemist Xu Fu said he would give to the immortals of Sanshen Mountain in exchange for the elixir of life?"
In my memory, I had read about the Three Mountains of Penglai in the "Strange Stories of the South China Sea" section at the beginning of "Taiyin Corpse's Dismemberment and Metamorphosis", and this matter was also described in it.
Miao Xianyong looked up to the sky and laughed. It took him a long time to hold back his laughter and asked: "What kind of elixir requires three thousand boys and girls to make a gift?"
Wu Qiudao felt a coldness on his back. He didn't know whether it was because Miao Xianyong's aura was too scary, or because the story about the "Ancestral Dragon Refining Pill" he told was too scary.
"Besides, I can confirm that this demon has absolutely no good intentions." Miao Xianyong raised his finger, "I have evidence!"
Wu Qiudao raised his eyebrows, "Do you need to say this? But it doesn't hurt to hear some evidence."
"Making elixirs by people is definitely not something you can just find some country folk. After these few days of secret observation, I discovered that all medicine people have one thing in common! That is the appearance of 'different bodies'!"
Miao Xianyong explained.
The so-called "different body" means that someone in our ancestors once practiced martial arts and refined their qi, and when they practiced physical training to an advanced level, their physical bodies would naturally develop various abnormalities, including two horns on their foreheads, fleshy wings on their backs, and the list goes on.
If you further improve your physical body through physical training, you can even develop such "supernatural powers" as clairvoyance, ears for the wind, three heads and six arms, and rebirth with a drop of blood.
Therefore, as warriors proliferated and their bloodline continued, some atavistic freaks would occasionally appear in the countryside. They were born with strange double pupils, earlobes above the shoulders, and other physical and appearance abnormalities. Most of them would be looked down upon by witches.
As an auspicious sign.
"Originally, I was born with no abnormality in body and appearance, but after the "Black Claw Through Arm Fist" was passed on to me in my gang, I felt that Yuan Qi had built a foundation, and I trained my muscles and bones every day, but I practiced 'Through Arms and Drooping Knees' on my own.
My body is different." After saying this, Miao Xianyong stood up and showed his arms. Sure enough, his arms were connected and his hands were hanging down above his knees.
Wu Qiudao turned around and looked at Old Li Tou carefully, and asked curiously: "Hey, I see that Brother Li doesn't have any 'different appearance' in his body."
"Hey hey hey." Lao Li smiled without saying a word, and directly opened the tattered skirt of his clothes, only to see a small hand as thick as a baby hanging under his right armpit, and he shook Wu Qiudao in greeting.
"Hiss!" Wu Qiudao took a breath. Originally, Miao Xianyong said "different body and appearance", and he thought it was quite consistent with the style of fairy tales. But when you take it out with such a baby's little hand, it feels wrong.
Already.
Wu Qiudao swallowed his saliva: "Brother Miao, I think there is nothing abnormal about my body, how come I was caught here?"
Lao Li patted his head and said: "Oh, I forgot that you have aphansia. There is no mirror here. Just take a picture of Brother Wang's pool of blood and you will know better."
Wu Qiudao was a little disgusted by the smell, but he still held his breath and walked to the side of the sewage, illuminated it by the fire, and suddenly realized.
He is only fourteen or fifteen years old, but his appearance can be said to be that of a full-moon face, eyes like bright stars, temples as sharp as a knife, and lips as if they were painted with grease.
Wu Qiudao touched his handsome face and sighed. He was so handsome that he would recognize him even if he was caught.
Miao Xianyong called Wu Qiudao to come over and sit closer, and then began to explain to the two of them in detail the volume "Rou Zhi Life Extension Box" in his hand.
Opening the title page of "Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Sutra", there is a preface.
"Those who believe in the Tao are like those who are immersed in the Tao. They all know things and do not know the way. I have often heard that it is not people who diligently seek knowledge, but those who know diligently seek others. However, I know its fallacy. Those who know do not seek knowledge.
, in fact, they go out and chase people away, and they are profound and ruthless, just like an eagle chasing a rabbit."
Miao Xianyong translated it: "People who admire the Dao are like lame people, and people who pursue the Dao are like paralysis. They all only know the appearance of Dao, but do not know the essence of Dao. I, that is, the author myself, I often hear people say because of this: In fact, it is not
People are striving for knowledge, but knowledge is constantly pursuing people.”
"But I know this is not accurate. Knowledge is not pursuing people, but chasing people! Its pursuit is as cruel and ruthless as an eagle and a hunting dog chasing a hare."
"Heavy clouds cover the sky, the rivers and lakes are gloomy, and the swimming fish are at a loss. Suddenly I see the waves are moving, and I am lucky to be given by the sky. I immediately catch them. The fish is caught dead, and the same is true for those who chase the road. The eyes are covered with the carving, and the wounds are healed.
, He who hears the symphony will be healed by his intelligence, and he who thinks about the wonderful things will be healed by his heart."
Miao Xianyong continued to translate: "Before it rained, dark clouds covered the sky, and the water surface also became dark. The fish in the lake did not understand the reason. Suddenly, the water ripples disappeared. When the fish saw the bait shaking, they thanked God for the gift and swallowed it.
Food, unexpectedly he was caught on the shore by a fishhook and died. Those monks who pursue the great path are as ignorant as fish."
"The reason is very simple: people whose eyes are focused on carving will have reduced vision, people whose ears are focused on listening will have hearing damage, so people whose minds are focused on the avenue will gradually collapse in mind!"
"The Great Way is so vast, and its profoundness and mysteries cannot be understood by humans." Miao Xianyong summed it up: "If you cannot understand it and absorb it, all kinds of troubles and obstacles will inevitably arise. Then it is not people who seek the Way, but the Great Way in turn.
It pollutes the minds of practitioners."
Wu Qiudao was speechless after hearing this. He is just a cultivator. If he is not careful, he will become irrational. Are you paying tribute to Cthulhu?
I traveled to the world of Xianxia, but I feel that the painting style is too weird. What should I do? Wait online, it’s quite urgent.
He and Lao Li looked at each other in disbelief, and then asked: "Brother Miao, why is it so dangerous to practice Taoism? Even the mind of enlightenment will pollute the mind?"
Miao Xianyong pursed his lips and smiled: "That's not necessarily true. In fact, the three religions and nine streams each have their own ways. I know that Buddhism has a set of 'Three Wisdoms and Five Calming Minds'. You can hold Yuan Shouyi and protect the spiritual altar. Walls have ears, so you can bow down.
Come here."
Wu Qiudao quickly moved his head over, wanting to listen carefully.
Unexpectedly, Miao Xianyong stretched out his hand directly from the gap in the fence, grabbed Wu Qiudao's neck, squeezed hard, and broke his neck.
Wu Qiudao didn't react at all and was easily killed by him.
It wasn't until his soul left the body, was about to dissipate, and was "vomited" out by Dao Dao that he was resurrected on the spot. Wu Qiudao finally realized what had just happened. He lay on the ground and pretended to be dead. He didn't have the invincible demeanor that he had said.
Lao Li was startled and took a few steps back to hide in the corner: "Well... my dear friend, what are you... doing?"
Miao Xianyong turned around, looked at Old Li Tou and smiled: "Old Li Tou, there is nothing I can do! The three-day period is coming soon, but this "Rou Zhi Life Extension System" cannot be practiced without a cauldron!
"
Miao Xianyong said seriously: "I don't want you to repay your kindness in the next life. Why don't you give up your body to me now and make two 'Meat Ganoderma' to help me practice this time! My kindness to you two is not in vain!"
