Ge Hongyun: There are three kinds of immortals: heavenly immortals, earth immortals and corpse-reflecting immortals. These are the three paths of ancient Taoist immortality in the Wei, Jin and before. Later, they were added or subtracted, abandoning the corpse-reflecting immortals, adding divine immortals and ghost immortals, and changed
He is the fifth-level immortal of heaven and earth, gods, humans and ghosts.
After attaining Taoism, a Taoist priest can abandon his body and go to immortality, or he may not leave a body behind, but only leave a thing (such as clothes, staff, sword) behind and ascend to heaven, which is called corpse dissolution. Corpse dissolution is the transformation of form and the true form.
Practicing shedding is also the transformation of body constitution.
To put it simply, corpse dissection is like the process of cicada's transformation. Ancient people often used cicada's transformation as a metaphor for the process of becoming an immortal. In modern scientific terms, it is explained as the process of the evolution of the essence of human life.
The Taiyin form refining mentioned above is also one of the methods of corpse dissolution. What is "form refining"? This is one of the most important self-cultivation methods in Taoism. Because Taoism has emphasized the refining of form and spirit tools and the cultivation of both life and life since ancient times.
There are six types of refining methods: solar refining, lunar refining, gold liquid refining, jade liquid refining, internal viewing refining, and true concentration refining. Taiyin refining is one of them. In ancient times, the moon was also called Taiyin.
It is also synonymous with the female and yin attributes. The characteristic of Taiyin refining is "transforming Qi with blood", which is different from "refining essence and converting Qi" in Sun refining.
In addition to the above, there are also corpses that leave hair after death, some leave human skin, some leave clothes, etc., some directly make a mummy in the wild to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and some bury themselves underground.
Taiyin refining, in short, there are many kinds of corpse dismemberment methods, which feel very evil and terrifying to modern people.
As a saying that ordinary people are also familiar with, Taoism pays attention to the "double cultivation of spirit and form" when practicing. It is believed that even after death, the body can be refining underground. The face of the corpse on the ground will not change, and the hair and nails will still grow as usual. Success.
Later, he can become an immortal. This is the origin of the zombie corpse immortal, which is euphemistically called the emergence. Before the emergence, the corpses on the ground are called "ghost guardians".
This method was abandoned by the Taoist school of Taoism because it was too extreme.
Therefore, John believes that the so-called zombie immortality is still inferior to other ways to become an immortal, because it has obvious flaws and is more difficult to achieve than the ghost immortal, the lowest level of fifth-level immortals. It is classified as a heretic soul and does not become a Taoist person.
, so it had been abandoned by various Taoist sects during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Even though the teacher he had in his previous life taught him this set of side-sect techniques of deconstructing the soul and becoming an immortal, the shortcomings were shortcomings, and he did not deny them at all. Later,
After joining the Taiyin Dharma Association, a fan organization, and seeing more of the spiritual path, I became increasingly disdainful of it.
Let's talk about Bingjie. To put it simply, it means to obtain liberation by adding weapons to one's body. This has two meanings. One is the reincarnation of Bingjie that is common in novels, that is, entrusting others to kill oneself and then sending the soul to reincarnate and rebuild. The other meaning is
It is to use weapons, magic weapons and other objects as sustenance to transform the corpse into an immortal.
There have been many rumors in ancient times that hermits and masters became immortals by this method. For example, "Wang Jia Bing Jie" in Volume 85 of "Yunji Qizhu" said that Wang Jia and his two disciples from Anyang, Longxi were killed by Yao. Yao Chang "first envoy"
On the right side of Longlong, I met the two disciples of General Jia, and they had planned for more than a thousand miles. It was the day when Jia was to be executed. The envoy of Jia sent a letter to Chang, and Chang ordered the coffins of Jia and his two disciples. There were no corpses, and each had a bamboo stick. "This
It is the rod solution in the military solution.
There are also the legendary Eight Immortals Lan Caihe, the Immortal Fei Changfang, and the great calligrapher Yan Zhenqing, etc., all of whom are clearly recorded in Taoism as being people who turned corpses into immortals.
"Red Book Jade Jue" says: "Take the bamboo from the sunny side of Lingshan, make it seven feet long and have knots, and use it as a magic staff to make it straight up and down. Sweet bamboo is the best. In the second section of the Shu Hei Di Fu, Bai Di In the third section of the Cihuang Emperor Talisman, in the fourth section of the Cihuang Emperor Talisman, in the fifth section of the Cired Emperor Talisman, in the sixth section of the Ciqing Emperor Talisman. The upper section in the sky is to reach the sky, and the next section in the sky is to stand on the ground. The wax seals the upper section. , pass through the middle seal with the seal of the Yuan Dynasty, and seal the lower section with wax, pass through the middle and seal with the seal of the Five Emperors. The crimson text is used as a Tao, the length is enough to accommodate the staff. When lying down, sitting up, and sitting up, always follow it by yourself... When you are tapping your teeth for thirty Liutong, thinking of the five emperors, one person each, dressed in square colors, with five colors of light shining on the staff, and one person each of the five emperors and jade girls guarding the staff. He gave a slight blessing and said: 'The mountain of the sun, the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, is the essence; the sky is opened. The ground, the sweet bamboo, channels the spirit...' After that, draw the Qi from the five directions for five gulps each, and combine it for 25 gulps, and then stop. After practicing this path for nine years, I have been diligent and not slow, and the spirit has truly seen its form. If you want to dismantle the corpse, the stick will take its shape, and in an instant, it will become a real person."
This is the so-called "corpse-dismantling magic rod method".
To put it simply, it is to take a wooden and bamboo staff, sacrifice it into a magic weapon connected to oneself, and then use secret methods to sacrifice the physical essence to refine the staff into a psychic magic weapon, and then entrust one's own soul to the staff. He thought of his body as a corpse and became a zombie-like immortal who is similar to a ghost immortal, but is not a pure Yin spirit.
In the same way, other methods of military solution are similar. In addition to the common corpse solution methods such as clothing solution and stick solution, there are also Taiqing corpse solution method, Taiyi corpse guarding method, Wudu Yuanshen method, Bao Liang corpse solution method, and Taiyin refining method. Shape, water and fire refining corpse form, Yin and Yang Liujia refining form and quality methods, etc. are all inherited by the heretic Yuanshen.
What John thought of was the sword solution.
There is a golden pill divine sword weapon method in his memory, which is the technique of sword immortal corpse analysis in the fragments of the Hunyuan Sword Classic. It is said that the masters of sword immortals can refine swords into pills and turn them into the body to be nourished by essence and spirit. When it moves, it spits out sword pills and turns them into sword light to take people's heads. It can also wrap up the human body and escape thousands of miles away, entering and leaving the Qingming.
The technique of Kanemaru Divine Sword Soldier's Extraction Technique is not considered very advanced among the true methods of immortality. It is recorded in the article that it is a method of the heretic Yuanshen, but it is considered to be a very advanced technique among the methods of corpse explanation.
According to the "Method of Making Swords and Corpses": "Those who use real swords to dismember corpses are of the highest quality." That is to say, the most advanced method of dismembering corpses is to use swords and instruments to replace the body, and the second is to replace the body with bamboo and wood. .
To use a sword to solve corpses, you must first have a good sword. The usual method of Xuanmen Jianji is to choose the Gengshen day in July and the Xinyou day in August to cast the sword. The length is three feet and nine inches, and the width is one inch and four. It is divided into three points and is three and a half thick. It is engraved with various patterns, such as the sun, the moon, the Big Dipper, etc. The sword should be worn by your side at all times and cultivated with elixirs. When you are about to die, use the sword to replace yourself. Cultivators, think about it The spell can be used to summon Taiyi's heavenly horse to greet him. The Taoist priest rides away on the heavenly horse. When he looks back, the sword he usually wears has transformed into the body of the Taoist priest. Before leaving, he should put on the clothes given by Taiyi and cover himself with his clothes. On top of the sword.
Therefore, the achievement of Sword Release all depends on the level of the flying sword that you have refined. The lower one is just a Yin spirit that supports the sword and cannot be called an immortal, or it is more appropriate to call it a sword ghost. The high one relies on the magical fairy sword, and its strength is not inferior to that of Corpse Release. Immortal, the highest grade among ghosts and immortals, especially relies on the power of the immortal sword, and is better at killing.
But John didn't want to rely on Feijian Corpse to become a human being.
This was not what he wanted, but he just wanted to use the waste from his previous body to refine his flying sword, which had already begun to channel spirits.
Taking a look at the sword which was still a little warm, John couldn't help but sigh:
"If he could have used his flying sword to kill the enemy with the sword when facing the silver attacker before, then maybe the result would have been very different."
Unfortunately, things are unpredictable and there is no way to know if and how early.
Although corpse dissection is the lowest way to become an immortal, the process is also very particular.
There are also levels of achievement in becoming an immortal through the corpse. The highest level is during the day, which is called the upper corpse. The second is in the middle of the night, which is called the lower corpse. At dawn and dusk, the corpse is the master of the underground, and is probably the ghost immortal.
Things like that. When the body can be decomposed, it mainly depends on the level of the practitioner. The threshold is relatively low.
At this time, John had in advance written inscriptions on the inside and outside of his Nicholas Sword with vermilion talismans, set the Taiyin Corpse Transformation and Transformation Talisman on his body, and the Sun True Fire Shape Refining Talisman on the sword. This was in preparation for using the Taiyin and Sun Shape Refining Method.
Use the sword as a cultivator to practice.
And this magic weapon flying sword has the innate Geng Metal Qi given by Taiyi Geng Metal Spirit, and it is a flying sword connected to its own essence, so many steps can be saved. It is precisely because of the sword Qi that there is still
Nourished by the essence of the sun and moon absorbed by the talisman, the corpse of his predecessor will be like a living person, fragrant and not rotten at all.
Just wait until noon tomorrow, when the third day is complete, he can hold a ceremony and call the flying sword with a secret method. At that time, this physical body will be instantly decomposed into nourishment, advancing the Sword of Nicholas to the next level.
