Catalog of Destruction

Shi Xuan woke up from the darkness with a splitting headache. He still vaguely remembered the huge pain of being hit by a ten-wheel truck. I saw the sun shining on my chest, feeling warm. Slowly, I felt the presence of my body. Not only did I sigh deeply, I was so lucky. I was hit by a big truck and flew so far away, but I still didn't die. At this time, many memory fragments popped up in my mind, and my head was as big as a bucket.

It turned out that he was dead, but an antique bead that he bought as a talisman suddenly shone brightly, wrapped his soul, tore open the rift in space, came to this world, and possessed the unlucky man he is now.

Now this body is that of a little Taoist priest, with a little bit of magic power. His original name was Du Bai. Ten years ago, there was a drought in Qingzhou. His parents took him, who was only eight years old at the time, to flee south. As a result, they both fell down on the roadside. Du Bai was not bad luck. Before he died of starvation, he was spotted by Xu Laodao who was passing by. , accepted as a disciple. Du Bai's own qualifications are also good. In just ten years, he has cultivated to the state of nourishing his energy and strengthening his soul, and he is highly valued by Taoist Master Xu.

In my memory, Xu Laodao often said that in the two capitals and thirteen states, there are only about ten people with real magic power, and those with his magic power, plus those who are hidden from the world, are probably only one palm. It is only because he has been searching for immortality all his life that he is not famous in the world.

When Taoist Xu was a child, he had an unexpected encounter and learned the true story. He continued to practice and had a strong desire to seek the Tao. He never married, and at the age of thirty, he practiced to the state of out-of-body spirituality. But in the next ten years, I only had profound skills and no direction to achieve breakthroughs in realm. Therefore, he went out to visit famous mountains, fairy waters, and places with various supernatural legends to look for immortals, but he could not find them all like a dream. At the age of 100, although there were still a few places he had not been to, he finally became discouraged and planned to return to his hometown.

On his way back to his hometown, he thought that he was a hundred years old and would not live a good life for more than ten years. He did not want the orthodoxy he had accepted and what he had learned to be lost, so he decided to accept Du Bai as his disciple.

After returning to his hometown, Xu Taoist discovered that although his family was still there, the relatives he was familiar with had already passed away in the past few years, and he did not know the few living juniors, so he simply bought a small house in the west of the city. Stay in the hospital and train Du Bai with peace of mind. While teaching him the Taoism, he also talked about his experience of traveling around and killing ghosts and monsters in his life. Ten years passed like this, and the old Taoist priest's time came. He fell asleep one night and never woke up.

Du Bai and Lao Tao had been dependent on each other for ten years, and naturally they were extremely grieved. Therefore, after burying Lao Tao, they could not get rid of distracting thoughts during a concentrated meditation.

Shi Xuan slowly sat up, stood in front of the bed and moved his hands and feet to calm down. Then he sat cross-legged and learned the method in the memory fragments to practice Qi. After one week of Qi, he opened his eyes and thought that he was still a little small. Fortunately, if this kid had not gone crazy while visualizing, but had gone crazy while meditating, I don’t know how much damage the body’s meridians would have suffered, and I don’t know how long he would have survived even if he was possessed, and whether he would be able to time travel again at that time. Two more things to say. Now the body's meridians are only slightly damaged. If you take medicine and work hard, they will be intact within half a month.

As for the little bead that brought him through time travel, as soon as he had the memory, he wanted to see what happened, but he just accepted the memory, and his thoughts were confused. In addition, he had just come through time, and his emotions were still unstable. At this time, he forced himself to enter meditation. It's impossible to say that he would end up in a tragedy like that stupid boy's inner demon attacking him.

Based on his memory, Shi Xuan found three incense sticks in the bedside grid. This is a kind of calming sandalwood. Xu Laodao made it by collecting the materials himself. It is very precious. Put the incense on the wooden table next to the incense burner, take the copper basin, open the door, and draw a basin of water from the small well in the small courtyard. It can be regarded as reliving the experience of going to the countryside to draw water from the well.

Carrying the copper basin, he returned to the room, put it away and locked the door. Then I washed my face with cold water and dried my face. Shi Xuan suddenly felt refreshed, and then slowly put on a new set of Taoist robes. Doing these is just a means, the purpose is to slowly calm down the emotions through such solemn actions, and gradually become unified in the mind. This is also why many religions always have many rituals. One of the reasons is this, to calm down emotions and empty thoughts. Of course, in religion, this state coupled with the influence of the atmosphere of many people doing the same thing around you makes it more convenient to preach.

Shi Xuan learned the method from memory, moved the body's energy and blood, and then made a hand and recited the incantation, which took about ten breaths. A flame appeared on his finger and lit three incense sticks. Shi Xuan was both novel and disappointed. In his previous life, as a person who had a special liking for immortals, he traveled to a world where he could cultivate immortals and use Taoism. The novelty was inevitable. In addition, his parents were tired in their early years and could not survive until they were in their sixties. After both passed away, I had no worries, so I could accept the fact of time travel relatively quickly, so I became curious about this world. It's disappointing that such a weak ignition technique has to be so slow to be used, and the power is still so small. It's really disappointing.

In my memory, Master Xu Tianshi said that in the first stage of training, the body and soul are only strong, but you can't cast spells. In the second stage, you can cast spells, but the power is small, there are many steps, and it takes a long time. In head-to-head combat and The internal masters in the martial arts world (which can be regarded as the Qi-nurturing period) are not at the same level of combat effectiveness. Therefore, they often use talismans and seals, set up altars in advance, and prepare for rituals before using spells. Of course, if there are magic weapons, then they must be used first. .

Only when the soul leaves the body and becomes magical in the third stage, can one slowly acquire some minor magical powers. In addition to a few basic ones, minor magical powers vary according to the soul and cultivation methods of each person. This stage is different from the masters of the subtle realm in the martial arts world, and is stronger than the martial arts masters when prepared. As for the Taoist method, the power has been enhanced, but the movement of qi and blood, pinching the fingers and chanting the spells are still the same. For the more powerful Taoist methods, one must concentrate and visualize, step on the Gang and fight, which is really time-consuming, so fighting with others generally uses talismans, minor magical powers, magic tools, and even fists and feet.

Of course, the Taoist method is magical, and it is not necessary to fight head-on to win. When the Taoist priests in the stage of nourishing qi and strengthening soul are prepared, it is relatively easy to kill the masters of the inner family. As for the next few stages, Xu Tianshi is not very clear, but he just gets along with the old people. When he reaches the stage of cultivating the spirit of the golden elixir, he can destroy the city and cut off the river with his mind, and then he can be regarded as a god-like figure.

After calming down, Shi Xuan held three sticks of incense and bowed three times to the air, as a way to comfort the soul of this body. Then he put in the incense and sat cross-legged on the bed with his five hearts facing the sky. Fortunately, this body often enters into a state of meditation. Now with the help of sandalwood, Shi Xuan slowly enters into a state of meditation. As soon as he enters into a state of meditation, he finds that his soul is attracted to the purple palace between his eyebrows. The small bead is quietly suspended, and the light is dim, but a ray of light is emitted from it, bringing a message to Shi Xuan's soul.

It turns out that this small bead is an acquired spiritual object in this world, called the Mountain and River Bead, which was obtained by the ancient great power Qing Yunzi. However, after Qing Yunzi condensed two flowers at the Golden Immortal (He Dao), he committed a murderous calamity and died together with others. Before he died, he thought of walking alone. His teacher, Taoist Yu Yu, had seen through the great way and escaped from this world to open up a new world. He couldn't let the Taoism be lost in this world, so he left the fundamental method of his teacher's enlightenment and his own practice, "The Record of the True Transmission of Yu Yu of Shangqing to Overcome Disasters and Attain the Tao", in this newly obtained acquired spiritual object, the Mountain and River Bead, which had not been sacrificed yet, and used the last mana to break the void and send it out.

Who knew that the Mountain and River Bead encountered time and space shock on the way and traveled to another world, that is, the earth where Shi Xuan was. Later, he slowly accumulated strength over millions of years. After Shi Xuan's car accident, he burst out his strength under the stimulation of blood first and then soul. With the time and space beacon left by Qing Yunzi in the mountain and river pearl, he brought Shi Xuan to the world of Yu Yutian, where Taoist Yu Yu had once created to prove the Tao, which was Qing Yunzi's hometown.

After passing on this information, he passed on a mysterious Taoist book to Shi Xuan's soul, and his own light was completely dim. It seemed that he was slowly recovering his strength.

Shi Xuan learned from Qing Yunzi's message at the beginning of the Taoist book that the cultivation of Taoism in this world is divided into two major levels: Qi training and Yuan Shen. Qi training is divided into seven stages: nourishing the soul, strengthening the soul, leaving the body, guiding qi, spirit and soul, golden elixir, and Yin Shen. The Yuan Shen stage is divided into Yuan Shen, Yang Shen, Tian Ren, He Dao, Creation, and Eternity.

Of course, the above stage names are just abbreviations. For example, the full name of the Qi training stage is: forging the body to nourish the soul, nourishing the qi to strengthen the soul, leaving the body, guiding qi to forge the soul, unity of spirit and soul, golden elixir to cultivate the spirit, and Yin Shen condensation.

Among them, the two steps of strengthening the body and nourishing the soul and nourishing the qi and strengthening the soul can reach the limit of their own lifespan after they are well practiced. When the soul leaves the body, they can live for another 30 years, about 120 years old. When the qi is drawn and the soul is forged, the lifespan reaches 200 years. The lifespan of the master of the golden elixir stage reaches 600 years, and the Yinshen venerable can live to 1,200 years.

After the level of Yuanshen, Qingyunzi only roughly mentioned the Yuanshen Zhenren who broke through the mysterious gate of life and death, also known as the ghost fairy Zhenren, who lived as long as the heaven and earth, but had to go through various disasters. He told Shi Xuan not to let the physical body suffer destructive damage, otherwise he could not achieve Yuanshen, and said that after achieving Yuanshen, the treasure record would show the second half of the volume - Yuanshen chapter.

Shi Xuan woke up from his concentration, and after a brief recollection, he remembered the contents of the first half of "Du'e Dedao Baolu". It seems that soul memory is indeed much better. But now is not the time to practice. The most important thing now is to consider your future path and how to go.

Because as a time traveler, if you have no foundation, and if you don't have any plans for the future, it's hard to calm your mind. With a direction, steps, and goals, you will feel at ease. To use a common saying now, you will feel safe. It is only when you can settle your mind first that you can settle your spirit. Don't you see how many people in modern society are empty and restless because they have no goals or have goals but no plans and steps.

Of course, there is not much information now, so I can only make a rough plan. I will make changes when I see more or encounter something in the future.

This is also the logic that a cautious science and engineering person like Shi Xuan is most accustomed to.
