Chapter 678 Preaching and Resolving Confusion (Supplement)
"It is in line with the destiny of the country..."
Recalling the difference in the aura of the old Black Mountain demon he glimpsed twice, Yang Yu thought thoughtfully. It seemed like this was true?
"Martial arts practice begins with blood exchange, and then the inner breath is generated. After the blood exchange is completed, the qi and blood can be blended to derive true qi. When all the orifices are opened and the mysterious door is opened, the three elements of essence, energy, and spirit can be unified..."
Leading the horse to drive slowly, Zhang Xuanba sighed slightly:
"It seems simple and clear, but Lu Chen and Bodhidharma are thousands of years apart, and the sloppy Taoist is another thousand years apart. More than 3,000 years ago, so many sages have pioneered, and today's martial arts flourishing..."
Three thousand years have passed, and dynasties have changed dozens of times, but only a few can leave their names.
In addition to those three supreme masters, how many warriors are stumbling around in confusion, but no one knows.
Listening to Zhang Xuanba's talk about the evolution of martial arts, Yang Yu couldn't help but feel a little confused. He had met Bodhidharma and Sloppy Taoist one after another. Those two people's character and courage were worthy of the name of the supreme master.
"When the three elements are unified, there is a foundation for promotion to the Martial Saint. The mortal body cannot touch the spiritual energy. Therefore, the Tao Fruit is the 'Fifth Step of the Martial Saint' that is unknown to outsiders."
Zhang Xuanba paused slightly, skipped this section, and said:
"Using the false to cultivate the true and the external to cultivate the internal is inevitable after the internal cannot be advanced. Lu Chen must have touched this point back then, but he may not know why, and he may not know how to summarize and teach..."
"Is this fifth step of the Martial Saint inevitable?"
Yang Prison asked.
"Maybe there is a way to avoid it, but I'm just not smart enough to discover it."
Zhang Xuanba left some room.
"Then I'm afraid it won't work..."
Thinking of the sloppy Taoist who spent hundreds of years searching for the Taoist Fruit, Yang Yu nodded slightly, knowing that this step was probably unavoidable.
In fact, since ancient times, there seems to be no precedent for a person without Taoism to be promoted to a Martial Saint.
"All things are born in heaven and earth, and their connection with heaven and earth will never be severed. Human beings are also among all things, and their spiritual energy is also in heaven and earth..."
Zhang Xuanba shook his head slightly:
"Unfortunately, I still don't know the secret of this, and no one among the great masters of the past and present seems to have thought about it, or has the answer."
"Those who are promoted to Martial Saint will not have the time to investigate the principles behind it."
Yang Prison understood a little bit.
In fact, after he opened the entrance, he didn't think about the possible problems between blood exchange and foundation building.
After all, he rarely had a chance to breathe along the way.
Rather than sorting out the blood and building up the five levels, he focused more on his own practice.
"This is what I think makes Bodhidharma, a slovenly Taoist, more admirable than Lu Chen. People, once they climb to a certain height, they will not be willing to leave a way for those who come after them."
There was a rare hint of admiration in Zhang Xuanba's tone:
"Therefore, Bodhidharma, a slovenly Taoist, has just become the founder-level figure of Buddhism and Taoism in today's martial arts world, even though Buddhism and Taoism were much earlier than them."
This is extremely rare.
After getting along with each other for more than ten days, Yang Yu knew clearly that although Prince Zhao seemed approachable, in fact he was still arrogant and domineering in his heart.
In his words, the people on the list of splendid figures are nothing more than 'idiots' and 'trash'.
"So, you gave up the Tao Fruit?"
Yang Yu suddenly spoke.
"Not at all."
Zhang Xuanba waved his hand:
"I'm just an old soldier. I don't have the character and mind of a great master. The reason why I gave up on Dao Fruit is because I can't get through the ritual..."
Can’t get past the ceremony?
This answer was beyond Yang Yu's expectation. When he heard this, the first thought in his mind was that it was impossible!
With Zhang Xuanba’s strength, status, and popularity, is there any ritual that he cannot complete?
But soon, he reacted.
"You don't want to?"
"That's too far."
Without admitting or refuting, Zhang Xuanba played with the relic and changed the subject:
"Ling Qi is naturally excellent if you cultivate through false pretences, but the spiritual Qi is thin and difficult to absorb. As time goes by, some people will naturally choose other paths.
For example, this old demon's destiny is connected with the destiny of the Heavenly Wolf Nation. With this, he can be promoted to the Martial Saint, and he will have no disadvantages in this bitter and cold place outside the Great Wall. Even if one day the artifact moves north, and he takes advantage of this luck to soar into the sky, it will not be the same.
impossible."
"Did the Ming Dynasty Taizu also follow this path?"
Yang Yu's heart moved.
"Of course!"
Zhang Xuanba nodded:
"Taizu was not born well, so he even joined the rebel army of Liansheng Cult in order to survive. However, he was extremely talented and swept the world along the way.
He defeated Chen Xuanying and broke the Liansheng altar. He defeated more than 70 rebel armies one by one. With the help of the founding of the country, he conquered all the invincible opponents in the world.
He even used the fate of the country as a bet and completely suppressed the old monster to Dayan Mountain..."
"That old monster was suppressed by Taizu Zhang?"
Yang Yu was startled and immediately realized something was wrong.
He remembered that in the days of the sloppy Taoist, the old witch was suppressed to Dayan Mountain...
"Four hundred years ago, the world was in chaos. The fundamental reason was that the spiritual energy tide raised a big wave. At that time, the old demon had already half-stepped out of Dayan Mountain..."
Zhang Xuanba explained.
"That old witch..."
Lu Chen, Bodhidharma, the sloppy Taoist, Zhang Yuanzhu, Zhang Xuanba... competing with so many talented people to survive, Yang Yu suddenly felt a little depressed.
This old monster is probably more terrifying than imagined.
"Even if a pig lives for three thousand years, you can't underestimate it, let alone an old monster that eats people?"
After a casual remark, Zhang Xuanba stopped mentioning the old witch and returned to martial arts practice.
In the meantime, I also commented on countless masters in the world.
Such as Mu Qingliu, Brahma Ruyi, Hong Sun Dharma King, Jiang Wuhuang, Guangjue Zen Master and other martial saint-level beings who have been famous in the world for decades.
"The old demon of Montenegro is in harmony with the destiny of the country, and so is the Dharma King of the Red Sun. On the contrary, Brahma Ruyi and Mu Qingliu are a little special. One is passionate about the sword, and the other is sitting on the lotus platform, receiving the incense of hundreds of millions of people. It's strange.
Very……"
"Incense?"
Yang Yu was a little surprised.
He could barely understand the fate of the country, but the sword and incense made him feel a little inconsistent.
Is this still martial arts?
"...As for Nie Longtian..."
At this point, Zhang Xuanba paused slightly:
"It's okay not to mention it."
Yang Prison couldn't help but be speechless.
"A beautiful list is not enough to cover the whole world, but many are not worth mentioning. There are no real dragons in the gutter."
Zhang Xuanba said.
Yang Yu was a little curious.
I'm afraid this man is not in line with the destiny of the country. Otherwise, even if he inherits the power of Qingtian and shakes the earth and is regarded as his half-successor, I'm afraid he won't be so kind.
After getting along for a short time, he knew very well that the person in front of him was a pure warrior than anyone else.
If he didn't ask, Zhang Xuanba would naturally not mention it.
After that, Yang Yu asked him about some doubts about martial arts. The latter did not refuse anyone who came, but when he asked questions, he answered them all.
till the end.
"May I ask, Your Majesty, have you ever touched the path above the Martial Saint?"
During the two years he spent with Master Zhenyan, he mentioned Zhang Xuanba's ambition more than once, and even believed that he was the fourth person to pave the way for martial arts after the three supreme masters.
"After cultivating the truth through falsehood, you naturally start from the outside in, getting rid of the false and preserving the true. Using the infinity of heaven and earth, you open up your own limitations..."
Mentioning this point, Zhang Xuanba's eyes became brighter and brighter:
"I call this the 'human fairy' realm!"
"Human Immortal!"
Yang Prison was shocked.
"Want to learn?"
Zhang Xuanba smiled slightly:
"If you can accompany me on this journey, why not teach you?"
"That junior, it would be disrespectful to refuse."
Yang Yu responded calmly and did not hide his desire.
Needless to say, the two of them walked slowly, but in fact they were very fast. When the sun turned to the west, they had already arrived in front of a small tribe.
Because they are close to the border, these small tribes look more like inside the pass than outside. At a glance, there are only a few tents and wooden houses everywhere.
But it has been abandoned for a long time. At a glance, half of it is covered by wind and snow, and only scattered houses have the atmosphere of human habitation.
"Natural disasters and man-made disasters."
Zhang Xuanba stopped and looked into the distance.
The wind and snow outside the pass were several times that inside the pass, but what left their houses empty was not a natural disaster, but a war.
There were hundreds of thousands of people outside the Shanshan Pass, the vast majority of whom were ordinary herdsmen who had been held hostage, and the real elite was probably less than 10,000.
"This little tribe..."
Yang Yu narrowed his eyes and smelled an unusual aura.
"The weather is about to change, and all kinds of monsters and monsters will appear..."
Zhang Xuanba raised his eyebrows.
I heard the clear ringing of bells from the small tribe in the distance, and then, swaying figures appeared one after another in the wind and snow.
How good is their eyesight?
At a glance, you can see that these ragged herders have dull expressions, as if they were walking zombies, and there is no trace of life in their bodies.
Yang Yu looked through the secluded space and saw that they were surrounded by evil spirits. It was clear that they were fierce ghosts devouring Yang Qi.
He raised his eyebrows and was about to take action when he heard a slight scolding coming from his side:
"evil creature!"
Boom!
The sound was not very high-pitched and resonant, but once it spread, it was like thunder falling from the sky. The moment the roar resounded, a wailing sound could be heard in the wind and snow.
The extremely blazing masculine energy disappeared in a flash, all the corpses fell to the ground, and all the ghosts as far as the eye could see were destroyed.
"ah!"
Screams were heard in the village. A Taoist in black with a feathered crown and a slender face was frightened to the extreme. He wanted to run away, but he only staggered and spurted out blood.
Together with his soul, he was shattered into pieces in the snow by the scolding sound.
Yang Yu's eyelids twitched.
At that moment, his hair stood on end, and he had the terrifying illusion that when he challenged the sloppy Taoist, he would be cut in half by the Seven Tribulations Sword Intent.
"Go, clean up, and spend the night here tonight."
"overnight?"
Yang Yu's mouth twitched.
With their strong energy, they have no need to find a special place to spend the night. This is obviously a deliberate slowdown...
"The old demon invites experts to come outside this pass. I also want to see them..."
Leading the horse and walking, Zhang Xuanba said casually:
"In the future, I may not have another chance..."
Good night, good night... I can't hold it any longer.
