Two hundred and ninetieth eight chapters Dan mercury Taoist method
A place of practice that has once produced a true saint may not be absolutely different from other places of practice before it has given birth to a saint.
For practitioners who can truly transcend the ordinary and become saints, often the biggest problem lies not in their background when they first started practicing, but more in their own talents and circumstances.
However, after a true saint emerges from a practice place, the temperament of this practice place will definitely be very different from ordinary practice places.
Because in the growth process of this saint, he often affects many people around him. In the end, those who can become his friends fighting side by side, or those who can become his enemies, are of course the top beings in this world.
There are many sword marks on the stone steps of the Sword Pavilion, some are deep or shallow, but they don't look like they were done intentionally.
Whether it is a sword mark left in a battle or a sword mark left unintentionally during daily sword practice, the force will be exerted vividly and there will be no feeling of restraint.
Lin Yi's eyes did not stay on these sword marks for long, because looking into the night above the stone steps, many figures were already waiting.
Although there have been thousands of storms, they are all in the past.
For him, not to mention that He Xiuxian was one of the Three Saints in the South. Even if He Xiuxian was the only saint in the world in the past, the glory that focused on this sword pavilion could not arouse any resonance in his heart.
But these people now regard him as their master, so that's different.
He does not need to be responsible for the past of this Jiange, but he must be responsible for these people.
"What kind of things you want to learn and what you want in your heart, you can try to ask them if they have any suitable exercises." Lin Yi said softly to Qi Zhuji and others behind him.
Then he followed the original Taoist to a pavilion deep in the sword pavilion alone.
The Scripture of the Sword Pavilion is in this pavilion.
There is an old man who is blind who lives in this pavilion.
When he heard the footsteps of Taoist Yuan and Lin Yi, although the blind old man had only "met" Lin Yi once before, he quickly recognized that it was Lin Yi, and then he used the fastest speed to
He lit an oil lamp and opened the door to the pavilion.
The humidity in the mountains is relatively strong, especially surrounded by green forests, so the pavilions in the Jiange are usually two to three stories, but this pavilion only has one floor.
There was no gorgeous decoration, except for a straw mat spread by the old man, there was only a stone platform with a square bronze box placed on the stone platform.
A mysterious aura flowed out of the original Taoist's body. At the same time, there was a roar from the sleeves of the blind old man, and a small sword flew out from it and landed on the top of the bronze box.
The moment the original Taoist's energy and the small sword met the ancient bronze box, a blazing flame burst out from the bronze box, and then a stream of air flowed out gently along the four corners of the box.
In the next moment, all the flames on the bronze box disappeared.
The original Taoist and the blind old man bowed to Lin Yi and then exited the pavilion.
The bronze box that had lost its vitality seemed extremely ordinary.
Lin Yi stepped forward, easily opened a lock, and saw an ordinary-looking sheepskin book inside.
By this time, his mood had calmed down.
Without any hesitation, he directly picked up the parchment book and started reading it as if he were reading a book.
"Ge Dansheng?"
In addition to the spiritual classics formed by gathering the experiences of many generations of practitioners, most works have main commentators and authors, and this scripture, formerly called the Yao Jing and now called the Tian Jing, is no exception.
However, when Lin Yi saw the author of this parchment book, he was stunned for a moment.
Is that Ge Dansheng?
He read a lot of books and knew that hundreds of years ago, there was a period when the so-called Chongdan Taoism was very popular.
The founders of the heavy elixir method were Taoist priests. Those Taoist priests believed that in addition to the ability to exorcise evil spirits, silver and mercury could also be made into various golden elixirs that could make people become immortals. The scary thing is that at that time, several emperors
Everyone believed this, so there was a time when there were many alchemy furnaces and Taoists who used various strange methods to make alchemy everywhere.
Ge Dansheng was a very famous Taoist at that time.
Legend has it that this man was good at using cinnabar and silver shavings, and heavy mercury to make elixirs. He was highly valued by the emperor at that time, assisted the emperors of two dynasties, and held great power.
However, in almost all the records that Lin Yi has read, the evaluation of this person is extremely low. They all comment on this person as a jester who used conspiracy and tricks to confuse the emperor at that time. The reason is that the emperors of the two dynasties he assisted died very badly.
It's fast, and it's all caused by long-term use of the elixirs he provided.
It is said that the emperors of both dynasties died in the prime of life, and the death was very miserable, with bleeding from all the orifices, and the blood that flowed out was black and shone with silver, and fell to the ground with a sound.
"When I was young, I was obsessed with Taoist alchemy, so I tied my hair and hung up in a Taoist temple in Changlin, hoping to seek the magic of immortality..."
Lin Yi read on with some surprise. Just looking at the first paragraph of the chapter, he immediately understood that the author of this scripture was the Taoist priest named Ge Dansheng whom he knew.
"Could it be that the Taoist temple started in the beginning of this sword pavilion?"
He thought of the original Taoists outside, and also thought that most of the people in the sword pavilion were indeed dressed as Taoists, and he couldn't help but have such thoughts in his mind.
If this is the case, then it is normal for Emperor Xiao Yan to be particularly unhappy with Jiange, and it is not entirely due to He Cultivation.
Because Emperor Xiao Yan only worshiped Buddhism after he ascended the throne, most Taoist temples in the Southern Dynasties were abolished.
"Using cinnabar, amalgam and other raw materials as the main materials, supplemented by elixirs, it can last for several years or more than ten years. The refreshing effect is almost immediate. Because of the heavy weight of cinnabar, amalgam and other materials, it promotes the deep flow of Qi and blood.
Going to the depths of the body that ordinary practice cannot reach, it can make people energetic, clear the five senses, and practice quickly. However, if cinnabar and silver mercury accumulate in the body, they will quietly corrode the vitality, the internal organs will soon become rotten, and the medicine and stone will be useless.
.”
"When I was young, I took a lot of self-refined elixirs. When I realized something was wrong, I wanted to fight for my life. At first, I thought of using my true energy to remove all these impurities from my body, but I accidentally discovered a wonderful method."
"The true essence is condensed by the vitality. Although water can carry a boat and destroy a city, after all, even a soft thing, even a small amount of cinnabar and mercury, is blended into the true essence, but it is soft and has bones..."
"Mercury is incorporated into the true essence?"
Lin Yi was shocked.
He flipped through it quickly, his eyes opening wider and wider.
This is indeed the case. The opening chapter of Ge Dansheng's autobiography is about how when he was young, he was obsessed with refining elixirs and wanted to become an immortal. However, after taking too many elixirs, he found that cinnabar, silver, and mercury were like chronic poisons that corroded vitality.
I wake up and want to slowly expel these things from my body.
These things are deeply embedded in the flesh and bones of the body, so he can only rely on the true energy that can penetrate into these places in the body to integrate them.
But he unintentionally discovered that after the true essence was fused with these things, its power was greatly increased.
The originally weak true energy was stronger than those practitioners who were stronger than him.
