Lying on the bed, after taking the Sangu Dan, Zhao Ran felt a heat rising from his belly, and then spread throughout his limbs and veins. At first, he felt as warm as if he were immersed in hot water. Soon after, the heat turned into
Strands of hairsprings keep wandering around the whole body in an irregular manner, making people feel numb and itchy. This is the state of scattered bones.
Zhao Ran didn't know what the so-called "root bones" meant at first. Later, he received guidance from Zhu Qigu, Pei Zhongze, and even the explanation of Yuan Yangbin, the great alchemist who now presides over the altar, and finally understood that the root bones are the human body.
It not only refers to bones, but refers to the whole body in general. Whether there are bones or not means whether they are in line with the way of heaven. So what is considered to be in line with the way of heaven? According to the Taoist point of view, it is to be in harmony with heaven and be able to accommodate everything everywhere in the world.
"Qi".
For example, whether there are characteristics such as "clear, strange, ancient, and strange" in the face, such as whether there are "three pupils" in the eyes, or whether the finger joints coincide with the Big Dipper, etc. These characteristics are summarized in the Taoist practice world for thousands of years.
If you don't have these characteristics, the effect of absorbing "Qi" will be extremely poor, or even completely incompatible with "Qi". Zhao Ran has already experienced this deeply when he was at Wujiyuan.
To put it bluntly, Zhao Ran is an extremely ordinary mortal. His body shape is not weird at all, his divine temperament is completely mediocre, his skin and frame are too ordinary, and he is a typical layman. If you want to enter the threshold of spiritual practice, you must
The frame of this figure is broken up and then waits for it to grow again - as for whether the growth is up to standard, it all depends on luck.
Despite the unbearable itching, Zhao Ran still tried his best to endure it and did not dare to move at all - if he couldn't help but move even a little bit, it would probably cause the bones to fail. Failure at this time would probably bring serious consequences of paralysis of the whole body.
Speaking of which, the importance of the Ascension Altar is reflected here. Within the scope of the power of the Altar, people will feel a powerful oppressive force, followed by various additional effects that paralyze the will and make people obey.
, thereby reducing the perception of pain to a great extent.
Zhao Ran suffered in this numb and itchy state for nearly two hours. Gradually, his limbs and whole body began to feel weak and weak, as if his body no longer belonged to him. He didn't know how long it took before the soreness and numbness suddenly turned into a severe pain.
Waves of pain came from the inside out, coming from the depths of the bones. They impacted the entire body and skin. Zhao Ran knew that this was the beginning of bone regrowth, and he gritted his teeth more and more, not daring to move.
Of course, this "growth" is not that "growth", it is not a person growing from an infant to an adult, nor is the bones and skin growing from childhood, but the process of realigning and reuniting the scattered bones and skin. Zhao Ran said
In this kind of pain, I would sometimes fall into coma, sometimes wake up from the pain, then fall into coma again, and then wake up again from the pain.
It wasn't until I woke up again the next day that the painful bone-setting process was finally over.
Zhao Ran felt exhausted and haggard both physically and mentally. Just when he was not sure how effective it would be, Jin Tengen had already reached out and handed over a pill, which was Yangxin Pill. After taking the Yangxin Pill, he closed his eyes and rested for a while, feeling that his energy had recovered a lot.
, then got up from the bed.
Looking around, he saw that there were people sitting on the six beds, including himself. Only Yu Zhiyuan's bed was empty, the great alchemist Yuan Yangbin and the other three Huang Guan were missing, and only Jin Tengen was still in the hall.
Jin Tengen coughed, cleared his throat, and said: "Everyone has woken up, so I will keep the story short. Among the seven of you, only Wujiyuan Yu Zhiyuan has successfully set bones and has left with Master Yuanda..."
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Ran was immediately frustrated. No matter who, after experiencing such a painful day, was told that he still had no chance to practice, he would find it difficult to accept, not only Zhao Ran, but also everyone else.
After a pause, Jin Teng'en continued: "Well, this matter is indeed a pity, but you must not get back up from this. You must know that the most important thing in cultivating a Taoism is the law of fate. The so-called gain is my luck, and the loss is my fate. No matter the gain or loss, it all depends on it.
Naturally, this is the true meaning of Taoism. Furthermore, it is not clear in one day whether the root bones have been straightened after the bones have been scattered. There are also many senior practitioners in our Taoist sect who did not straighten the root bones on the spot, but gradually found their roots later.
Bones, so the opportunity for you is not cut off. Now I will teach you a set of methods to enter tranquility. If you practice more diligently in the future, maybe you will have a bone gradually. Even if there is really no chance.
, you can also benefit a lot if you often enter tranquility through this method.â
The last two sentences actually made the atmosphere in the hall a little more lively. If what Jin Tengen said is true, then at least theoretically hope still exists, and maybe at some point, his own roots will show up. Regardless of the possibility of this hope
No matter how big it is, having hope is better than having no hope, so everyone is also very interested in the Jing Gong that they will learn next. At that moment, Jin Tengen taught a set of Jing Gong, which Zhao Ran learned from Tong Lao at Wuji Academy.
That is the most basic level of static skills in Taoism.
After Jin Tengen finished teaching the Jing Gong, Zhao Ran was a little unwilling and asked: "Uncle Jin, if I am my nephew, I am taking a bone-sparing pill. I don't know if it will have any effect?"
Jin Tengen was silent for a moment and said: "Martial Nephew Zhao, I know that you and Yu Zhiyuan belong to the same hospital, but his example cannot be used as a reference. There is not one person in the Taoist school who can get a chance like him after taking the Sangu Pill for the third time.
You may not know that the coffin has been prepared in advance for the last time and this time that Senior Nephew Yu Zhiyuan participated in the door-raising ceremony..."
The six losers were dejected and returned to their residences. Each of them felt very unwilling and went into tranquility according to the method taught by Jin Tengen. Zhao Ran was not exempt from the secular world and was also among them.
But after trying once, he had no choice but to admit that he had indeed failed. No matter how hard he tried, he could not absorb "Qi" into the sea of ââqi, and the door to cultivation was still not open to him. However, he recovered from his depressed mood.
He walked out quickly, because at least he had another hope - waiting for his promotion in the Taoist sect.
In Zhao Ran's original plan, Zhu Qigu was his main public relations target. Perhaps it was too utilitarian to say so, but as an ordinary layman without any background, this kind of utilitarianism was an inevitable choice. That's why he went all out
He fawned over Zhu Qigu and tried his best to please Zhu Qigu in order to win Zhu Qigu's favor. In fact, he did it. He and Zhu Qigu became siblings with different surnames, and thus indirectly gained access to the great alchemist Chu Yangcheng's network.
Important figures in this circle also include Tong Lao Tong Baimei, fourth senior brother in black Chang Wanzhen, and two other senior brothers who have not met yet, second senior brother and third senior brother.
It's just that the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Chu Yangcheng was seriously injured. All the important people Zhao Ran could rely on went to southern Xinjiang. He didn't know when he would be able to return to Sichuan. This result made him quite depressed.
Even inside, he couldn't rely on this network of thick-legged people.
As for Yu Zhiyuan's success in straightening his bones, Zhao Ran felt extremely complicated. Being able to cross the threshold of cultivation and enter the world of cultivation is of course a great thing for Zhiyuan. But is it beneficial to Zhao Ran?
But it is difficult to judge. The threshold for practicing cultivation is too high. The inside and the outside are completely two worlds. Zhao Ran is not sure whether Yu Zhiyuan, who has become a monk, will still be interested in continuing to be friends with a layman like him.
Furthermore, even if Yu Zhiyuan still cares about his old relationship, he doesn't have much hope as to whether he will still have the energy and interest to stand up for his trivial matters. Taking a step back, even if Yu Zhiyuan is willing to stand up for him, he can predict
Don't have any expectations in the next few years - I have to practice cultivation, and it's too late day and night. Who has time to continue talking about calligraphy and painting with you as usual?
Zhao Ran suddenly discovered that during this trip to Baima Mountain, he had inexplicably lost two supporters! At this moment, he was extremely eager to return to Wujiyuan immediately. At least it was the place that Zhao Ran was most familiar with and where he had the deepest roots.
.
Zhao Ran immediately took action. He took stock of the property he had gained from "going deep behind enemy lines" this time, and regained some confidence in his heart. He was prepared to sacrifice blood in exchange for documents from the Taoist sect that agreed to his return to Wujiyuan.
But in fact, Zhao Ran didn't spend even a tael of money. When he made the request, the Daomen's dispatch office in Ye Xueguan didn't find out his transfer order at all, and Mr. Tong didn't go through the dispatch procedures for him at all!
Well, Zhao Ran can go back and forth now, but he is not happy at all - his trip to Baima Mountain was in vain. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come
