Xu Dao covered his chest, his face twitched, and his face suddenly turned pale.
Fortunately, the severe pain just now was only momentary and did not last. It was like lightning.
Xu Dao carefully caressed his chest and found that there were no injuries on the skin, no problems with the bones, and no problems with the lungs. The flow of Qi was not hindered at all, as if the severe pain just now was just an illusion.
But the look in his eyes became even more solemn, because there happened to be something hidden in his chest, an unmarked basket.
This talisman is Xu Dao's biggest treasure. It can help him practice magic. It is a strange thing!
Xu Dao lowered his head and reached into his clothes, his brows instantly furrowed.
The unmarked urn has the effect of "treasures conceal themselves". Its appearance and material are the same as ordinary talisman paper. No matter whether it is used with the naked eye or infuriating energy, no mystery can be detected. Only when the magic skills are recorded on it
Only when you practice the Dharma and throw it into the flames will the magic be revealed.
At this time, Xu Dao hid it against his flesh. Not only was the talisman not warm, but it was also cold, which was very unusual!
At this moment, the originally hot thoughts in Xu Dao's mind had cooled down. He pressed his chest, his eyes filled with uncertainty.
The true energy in his body no longer boiled, and the talismans in his mind no longer floated, but the five talismans suddenly shone brightly on their own, making his mind peaceful for a moment.
These five talismans are exactly the five auxiliary spells of Xu Dao practice that have the effect of clearing the mind and calming the energy.
For a moment, Xu Dao frowned, and he already had a guess in his mind: "Could it be that... I didn't have an epiphany just now, but almost became a demon!"
As soon as this idea came out, Xu Dao combed it carefully, his heart suddenly beat and he was covered in sweat.
Immortalism values life and freedom, and regards longevity as one's own responsibility. Although it is extraordinary and refined, eating wind and drinking dew, no matter which orthodox Taoist book or scripture it is, the word "inhuman" will not be mentioned. On the contrary, it will not mention the word "non-human".
There is a saying of helping those in need, helping those in need, and accumulating good deeds.
The so-called gods, saints, and perfect men in ancient times, as well as the so-called Taoists, wise men, and immortals today, are all inseparable from the existence of the word "human"!
Even gods, demons, ghosts, spirits and other innate alien beings, if they study Taoism and practice the immortal way, they will also be called demons, ghosts, gods, etc. They are existences that understand human nature, rather than abandoning good and evil, becoming
Becoming even more inhuman.
After racking his brains and combing through it, Xu Dao only found out that there was one method named "Inhuman".
Those who are not human are also Buddhas!
This method was destroyed by the Holy Tang Dynasty thousands of years ago. Its orthodoxy was shattered and the country fell into ruin. Only the allusion of "Thirty Thousand Sword Cultivators Expedition to the West" was left.
But in Xu Dao's previous life, this method was very popular and popular... If you think about it carefully, there should be quite a lot of meaning in it.
However, this matter was not something Xu Dao should ponder for the time being. He closed his eyes and recalled the scene of "enlightenment" just now, and he suddenly felt more fear in his heart.
Practicing the immortal way is an act of reversing life and death and seizing destiny. It is like planting a golden lotus in the fire, and there is always the risk of becoming possessed by evil spirits.
Xu Dao once read in a Taoist biography:
"If you make mistakes in performing the exercises and the methods are wrong, the true energy will go astray and damage your body; if your mind is unstable and the spiritual stage is unclear, desires will arise and damage your soul; if you belittle yourself and lose your true self, you will
The inner demon enters the brain and turns immortal into evil..."
Among them, the inner demon is the most silent thing. It can be invisible and change in thousands of ways. It is generated by the Taoist himself. Once the demonic thoughts are planted, they become deep-rooted and difficult to eradicate, making them more and more self-righteous.
In this regard, Taoists can only take precautions and polish their Taoist mind as much as possible in order to recognize their true self and avoid being infected by inner demons.
Cultivation in the immortal way can be said to be a trap at every step, like walking on thin ice.
Xu Dao originally thought that since he was of a low level and had practiced several mind-purifying spells, he was not even afraid of things like evil spirits and evil spirits, so there was no need to worry about becoming possessed.
But what happened just now was a wake-up call for him.
If it weren't for the unruly character in his body, he would have really been filled with demons in his mind and run wildly down the "inhuman" road.
Not to mention whether you can achieve Taoism or not, if you abandon your humanity today and your bottom line tomorrow, it’s hard to say whether you can maintain your sanity by then.
"The way of humanity is vague and the way of immortality is vast, but why is it that the way of immortality is not human? We still have to follow the right path!"
Xu Dao was thinking in his heart, and he couldn't help but raise his head and look around.
In the black smoke, the Taoist priests at the White Bone Temple all looked pale and gloomy. They obviously looked like heretics rather than orthodox Taoists.
And since Xu Dao entered the temple, apart from appointing mortal Taoist boys to teach Chinese characters and read Taoist books, White Bone Temple has never mentioned that they should slay desires and guard against inner demons, and they have just let it go.
The reason why he can know the word inner demon is because Xu Dao has read Taoist books extensively on his own.
This also leads to the atmosphere in the White Bone Temple, which is chaotic and does not know the right way. From the Taoist childhood, it has been filled with indulgence, enjoyment, fighting and other trends. When they grow into Taoist disciples, although most of them are mature in mind and have strategies, they are also extreme in temperament.
Not a good kind.
Xu Dao looked at the performance and actions of the Taoist priests from the Fifth Academy, and thought to himself that the temperament of Taoists at this level of foundation building might be becoming more and more demonic.
Perhaps as he just realized, the more you practice, the more inhuman you become.
Suddenly, Xu Dao thought that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time.
However, this matter was important and he had to think about it in the long term. For now, he had to spend the trip to Montenegro peacefully and wait until his cultivation level was high enough.
After all, according to Taoist biographies, the world is vast, with jungles in ten directions, nine kingdoms and thousands of beauties, eight monster mountains, seven waters...all kinds of demons and monsters, countless.
If he travels around the world, looking for immortals and visiting Taoism, Taoist priests in the foundation-building realm can barely save their lives and not be attacked by monsters and ghosts. If Xu Dao is in a hurry to go out now, he may not even be able to leave the small country of Wu.
After calming down, his mind was whirling over and over again, and he was secretly sighing.
Xu Dao thought secretly in his heart: "It seems that cultivation is not just about meditating and refining Qi. The term 'Tao Heart' is not just empty talk. It must be paid close attention to and polished."
Even if there is an unmarked jar, he can quickly practice the mind-purifying spell, but now it seems that cultivating the Tao is ultimately his own effort, and nothing is left behind.
Especially in areas such as the state of mind, Taoist heart, and other external things that cannot help!
However, after Xu Dao thought about it for a moment, he realized that the five mind-purifying spells he practiced were not without effect.
At that time, the five talisman seeds were trembling in his mind, not to celebrate that he had broken through the immortal realm, but to alert and warn him.
It's just that the five talismans are very effective against foreign objects such as lost true energy and guarding against evil spirits and evil spirits. However, the magic power against the heart is weak, so they can only barely remind him, but cannot directly bring him back.
But if Xu Dao plants the Pure Heart Talisman in his mind, when he encounters the same situation again, will he be able to wake up on his own without the help of Zi Zi Lu...
Thinking of this, Xu Dao secretly decided to practice one if he encountered a pure mind spell in the future!
He wants to plant as many pure heart talismans as possible in his soul, the more the better.
This type of spell does not cost much to practice, and there is no burden after it is completed. It only consumes the Taoist's time. However, no matter whether the Taoist has a character or not, the most important thing is to spend time practicing the spell.
This move is of great benefit to him but not harmful.
