Chapter 137 General Outline of Huang Quan's Heart Sutra
When all the sects in the world, including the other three major sources of demonic paths belonging to the same camp as Huangquan Dao, thought that Huangquan Sect was involved in secrets and had been dragged into the abyss of uncertainty, it actually appeared behind the Wangchuan River.
At this time, Huangquan Road may have truly found its destination.
It is also the place of death for all "living souls".
When the Huangquan Dao is powerful, it can use the power of one sect to deal with the seven major sects of the righteous path without falling behind.
Even though his strength was later reduced, he was still one of the four major sources of magic.
There are many methods under his sect, and their evolution is complicated and vast, but they are inseparable from the foundation of his sect - the Huangquan Heart Sutra.
Only by practicing the Underworld Heart Sutra can one walk on the underworld and see the great road.
The general outline of the Huangquan Heart Sutra governs the entire Heart Sutra and brings together all the essences. It is the top priority of the Huangquan Tao.
Therefore, the general outline of the Huangquan Heart Sutra written on poor paper in Ye Xuan's hands has no reason to be genuine.
If a poor family can casually pick up the outline of this world's first-class mental method, how powerful and profound will their luck be?
Such overwhelming luck could lead to death so casually?
What a joke!
But some recent events made Ye Xuan vaguely feel that he was being roped into the situation, and that there might be two hidden beings secretly watching him.
One of them belongs to Buddhism, and the other one cannot deal with Buddhism, so he sent the 'tortoise shell divine fortune teller'.
Could it be that this summary of the Huangquan Heart Sutra was sent to him on purpose?
Ye Xuan did not dare to use the tortoise shell to calculate this guess, for fear of attracting more attention from the mysterious existence, but he could use the tortoise shell to calculate whether the general outline of the Heart Sutra was true or false.
After digging two holes into a piece of tortoise shell, Ye Xuan lit a talisman fire and kept baking it.
After a while, cracks appeared on the tortoise shell, gradually converging, pointing towards the hole on the left.
The hole on the left represents 'yes'.
When Ye Xuan saw the crack spreading to the left hole, he was suddenly shocked and almost threw the tortoise shell to the ground.
Is the outline of the Huangquan Heart Sutra based on turtle shell divination actually true?!
So should I believe in the tortoise shell’s divination, or should I believe in my own empirical judgment?
If the tortoise-shell divination is correct, the hidden existence sent me the general outline of the Heart Sutra of the first-class sect. It can be said that no expense was spared, and its intention must be huge!
Can I satisfy His appetite?
If this Heart Sutra is actually false - then wouldn’t I be excited for nothing?
Ye Xuan's heartbeat quickened, and it took him a while to finally calm down and breathe evenly.
The boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge.
It is better to be useful to the hidden existence than to be treated as a pawn that can be abandoned at any time.
Suddenly, he thought of the ceramic chess piece that Longniao Seal had captured for him and turned it into white, and he felt a little relieved.
It’s not like I’m without credibility.
Now that you are in the chess game, build your own power.
He gently opened the outline of the Huangquan Heart Sutra and looked at it carefully.
The writing on it comes into view - 'Where do all things in the world come from?
It comes from existence.
Where are you born?
Something is born out of nothing.’
Just by reading the first two paragraphs of the general outline, Ye Xuan's attention was immediately attracted.
He had roughly opened it in the basement before and found the content written on it quite interesting, so he put it in the magic bag.
At present, it seems that since it is the true outline of the Huangquan Heart Sutra, it is only natural that it can attract people.
The opening two paragraphs are typical Taoist philosophy.
It is said that Tao gives birth to one, gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things.
Tao is ‘nothing’, the origin, a state of emptiness and chaos, like a child in its mother’s womb, seemingly silent, and with countless possibilities.
One is ‘being’, which is called ‘Tai Chi’.
The second is yin and yang, and the third is the combination of yin and yang, which can also be regarded as a variable and opportunity other than yin and yang.
So, to which level in this system does the Huangquan Heart Sutra attribute ‘life and death’?
Ye Xuan continued to look down and read carefully.
Before I knew it, it was already dusk.
Zhu Ganghe kept urging the Five Fire Refining Fang Zun to refine the river mud. With constant tempering, his little bit of sexual light became stronger and stronger, and gradually grew into a small tree.
At this point, all the river mud has been refined into red mud balls, filling the huge mud pond.
The river soldiers were waiting for the mud to cool down by the pond, and they also brought clay and lime to mix. Among them, the sheep-headed river soldier transformed by Zhang Shuzhen seemed impatient and jumped directly into the red mud.
The other two river soldiers did not react and saw themselves swallowed up by the mud.
Not long after, the sheep-headed river soldier walked out again, covered with a layer of dark red carapace, as if the mud had plasticized the flesh into a shell!
Its breath becomes more peaceful and no longer has the cold breath unique to water and Yin spirits.
The change was so obvious that it was impossible for the other two river soldiers to be unaware of it.
They were somewhat intelligent to begin with. Seeing that the sheep-headed river soldiers had benefited so much from jumping into the mud, they all jumped in too. When they came out again, they each had plasticized new flesh shells.
The three-headed river soldiers are the sheep-headed river soldiers, the strong-headed river soldiers, and the skeleton river soldiers.
The previous bodies of the three were condensed with demonic energy. Once they disintegrated, their own spirits were shattered and disappeared. However, now that they have flesh shells molded from mud, they have an extra layer of protection.
The skeletal river soldier was even transformed into a middle-aged man by the mud, with skin and flesh.
Moreover, the benefit of having a flesh shell is not limited to this. After having a flesh shell, you can practice various methods, and there is the possibility of going further.
After rolling around in the mud, the three continued to work as usual.
Ye Xuan finally read the complete outline of the Heart Sutra in detail. He let out a sigh of relief and his eyes flashed with wisdom. It was obvious that he had benefited a lot from this brief summary of more than ten pages.
The Huangquan Heart Sutra only cultivates the state of mind. As the practitioner's own state of cultivation continues to improve, he can also practice and cultivate his soul in the future.
He understands the way of life and death, regulates yin and yang, and realizes the two sides of the "Tao". The thousands of faces of the "Tao" finally unite.
The interpretation of "death" in Huangquan Heart Sutra is also extremely mysterious.
The general outline explains that "death" is the result of "life". Life is the beginning and death is the end.
But ‘Tao’ is a circle connected end to end.
Life and death are also connected to each other and continue continuously.
For example, after a person dies, his flesh and blood are eaten by maggots, and the maggots transform into flies, while his bones become dust, mud, and loess to support vegetation.
In this way, the grass and trees are ‘I’, and the flies are also ‘I’.
Flies are eaten by birds, birds are hunted by people, vegetation is eaten by lambs, and lambs also become people's meals.
In the end, 'I' still belongs to me.
Thousands of injuries, all kinds of annihilation, the cycle of life and death, 'I' stand between life and death, neither increasing nor decreasing, neither birth nor death, following the trend, Tao transforms into nature.
Therefore, the Heart Sutra emphasizes three realms of cultivation: the first is death, the second is life, and the third is the transformation of life and death.
‘Death’ is the state of silence, inaction, and inaction.
‘Birth’ means to move and release according to one’s will, to do things freely, and to be a state of ‘being’.
The endless transformations of life and death are flesh and blood turning into flies, flies turning into birds, grass and trees, and lambs, and finally returning to the state of "me".
With the guidance of this general outline of the Heart Sutra, there is a path to follow in practicing the first level.
Ye Xuan solemnly put away the General Outline of the Heart Sutra. After thinking for a while, he stood up and walked out of the wooden house to check the progress of the preparation of the masonry adhesive.
In this way, we naturally discovered the difference between the three-headed river soldiers.
The three river soldiers had all rolled in the mud, and their aura was very similar to the slowly cooling red mud in the mud pond. Ye Xuan immediately judged that they were contaminated with the red river mud in the mud pond.
It seems that the river mud has molded their flesh shells?
It's just that the river mud originates from the Black River, is deeply demonic and extremely filthy.
Although today's river mud has been refined and its odor and demonic nature have been eliminated, it is difficult to judge whether it has other malignant qualities.
However, Santouhe soldiers were under the control of Yunzhai, and Ye Xuan could not overstep his authority to find out whether Santouhe soldiers were malignantly infected.
We can only wait until Yunzhai finishes refining the flying sword to investigate.
Ye Xuan only made some detailed inspections on them to ensure that they were not likely to harm the territory for the time being, and then allowed them to continue working.
If the refined river mud can plasticize a flesh shell, Yun Zhai can also plasticize a divine body. He can also rely on the inhabiting divine body to leave Yuehe River and accompany me to places farther away.
Ye Xuan put the river mud from the two alchemy furnaces into the purple, gold and red gourds. After arriving at the back of the mountain, he dug out half an acre of land next to the field where the Xirang doll was buried. He mixed the soil with the river mud and straightened some of it.
Plant the herbs needed for Guiyuan Dan.
Whether they can survive or not can only depend on their respective fates.
After all, even in the field where the Xi soil doll was buried, except for the ginseng root, the other grain seedlings continued to wither, and some had already withered.
The conversion efficiency of this soil doll into spiritual acres is so low. It has not yet converted half an acre of wasteland into ordinary acres that can be planted?
Ye Xuan suddenly felt that it was a bit of a waste to absorb so much of his true energy.
He dug up the piece of soil where the Xirang doll was buried and saw that it was hiding in the soil without any change.
Ye Xuan grabbed it in the palm of his hand and pulled it hard, intending to dig it out of the soil.
The soil puppet broke away from the soil, and what was dug out with it was a ginseng root.
The whole body of this doll is pierced by ginseng tendrils, which continuously draw energy from its body.
The ginseng whiskers are densely connected to the Xi soil doll, and it is no longer distinguishable from it.
Ye Xuan was furious. This doll was the key to reviving the soil and cultivating crops. How could he be swallowed up by a ginseng as a consumable!
He lowered his head and looked at the dug hole. Under the cover of the soil, he could vaguely see ginseng roots passing through the gray-black soil and expanding in all directions.
What else was eaten secretly with ginseng?
Ye Xuan looked along the direction where the ginseng tendrils were spreading and saw withered seedlings growing in the soil over there.
He seemed to understand something.
I quickly dug up the seedlings, and sure enough I saw that the roots of the seedlings were penetrated by ginseng roots.
However, seeing this scene, Ye Xuan did not get angry.
Because the roots of the seedlings are entangled with ginseng tendrils, they are also growing slowly, as if they are about to turn into white and fat ginseng.
These seedlings are all crop seedlings similar to wheat in previous lives.
It is impossible for ginseng to grow from its roots.
So what's going on now?
If these roots really grow into ginseng, will it taste like ginseng or wheat?
The key is whether to classify it as a medicinal material or as a food item?
