Pawn Crossing the River

Qi Xuansu tried his newly learned spell. First he summoned the "Ghost Sword". It still looked like a ghost sword, but it was covered with a light layer of mist. He waved it a few times, it was light and weightless, At the same time, you can clearly feel your mana passing away quickly.

Qi Xuansu summoned several more ghost soldiers.

These ghost soldiers were dressed in costumes similar to those of government officials and jailers, with soap boots on their feet, square hats on their heads, and white foundation on their faces, with dull expressions. Coupled with the "Ghost-headed Sword" in Qi Xuansu's hand, Qi Xuansu looked like an executioner in charge of executions.

At this moment, the little girl rode a horse and came to Qi Xuansu's side: "You're awake."

Qi Xuansu waved his hand and put away the ghost sword and ghost soldiers, and looked at the little girl: "Little sister, why are you the only one here, where is Mr. Yin?"

"Grandpa is very busy, and that fierce spirit official wants to see him for something," the little girl said.

Mr. Yin can freely enter and exit the Ghost Kingdom and the Ghost Pass, and he is the liaison between the two. There is a first-grade spiritual officer from the Taoist sect in the Ghost Pass who is personally in charge. It is probably this first-grade spiritual officer who comes to see Mr. Yin for something. Maybe it is the Ghost Kingdom Cave Heaven. The abnormality alarmed him, but I thought Mr. Yin could give a reasonable explanation.

However, Mr. Yin was not here, so Qi Xuansu really didn't know how to leave this place, so he had to ask again: "Little sister, how should I leave the ghost country?"

"Grandpa told me when he left that you can go back the same way you came here." The little girl jumped off the back of the bad horse and patted its leg again.

The bad horse returned the favor and nuzzled the little girl flatteringly with his big head.

"Wherever you come from, you are going back, that is, you are returning the same way." Qi Xuansu pondered for a moment, then cupped his fists and said, "Thank you very much."

"No thank you." The little girl said with a smile.

Qi Xuansu got on the wrong horse and used his third spell, which was to open the "Yin and Yang Gate" and open a path to the netherworld.

A portal then appeared.

Qi Xuansu stepped forward on horseback. When he was about to enter the door, he looked back at the little girl.

The little girl waved vigorously: "Goodbye."

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but smile and waved. The inferior horse also turned around and snorted as if to say goodbye. Then one person and one horse entered the portal.

After passing through the portal, Qi Xuansu returned to the pale and samey long street.

This time, Qi Xuansu's realm cultivation has not been banned, and it has been difficult to change the sea. Even the three major ghosts that dominate the ghost country and the cave have been seen, and a few little ghosts are nothing.

In fact, these little devils are like Qi Xuansu's bad horses, they are very discerning, and there is no "person" who provokes Qi Xuansu without looking at them, and the journey is smooth.

This journey is inevitably boring, but Qi Xuansu has been immersed in his own changes, and now

There are three forces in Qi Xuansu's body, namely the true qi obtained by refining qi, the blood qi transformed from pure qi and blood, and the magic power transformed from thoughts, which respectively correspond to the three inheritances of Sanren, martial artist and alchemist.

The three are at the same level. The Sanren's true energy and the alchemist's magical power are both at the stage of returning to the true state. Logically speaking, the warrior's vitality is only at the stage of deficiency, but the "Tantai Boxing Intent" makes up for this, because the "Tantai Boxing Intention" is not The orthodox exercises of the Taoist sect were left behind by Tantai Yun, a branch of the Taoist sect, so they include some of the methods of cultivation. The imitation of the power of heaven and earth corresponds to the warrior's state of understanding the heavens.

The combination of the three makes Qi Xuansu's cultivation in the return-to-shen stage extremely powerful. If he faces Bai Yongguan, Wan Xiuwu and others, he will naturally win easily without any effort.

However, this does not mean that Qi Xuansu alone is equivalent to a person in the three stages of returning to truth, because his inheritance as a martial artist and alchemist is not very complete.

Although Qi Xuansu's blood energy and mana have reached the stage of returning to the true state, this is only the basic part. Going further up, the martial artist in the stage of returning to the true state has begun to condense the body and spirit. This is the only way to the realm of seeing the gods and not breaking down. The alchemists at the stage of returning to the true state also began to strengthen their thoughts to prepare for the subsequent bardo state.

Needless to say, there is no need to say more about the state of indestructible spirit. After all the three hundred and sixty-five most important acupuncture points in the body are condensed and connected into one body, one can become indestructible.

After the alchemist reaches the realm of bardo, in addition to using magic to transform the void into reality, the Yin God will also achieve the body of bardo.

After death, the soul returns to heaven, the soul returns to earth, and the three corpses turn into ghosts.

The "bardo body" refers to a special stage between life and death when the deceased has expired and the soul has begun to leave the body, but has not yet completely separated from the body. The so-called "the front Yin has faded, the back Yin has not arrived, and the middle Yin has appeared before." The front Yin has faded, which means that the life span of this period has expired, and the back Yin has not arrived, which means that the soul has not yet returned to heaven and earth. In this state, the soul will linger next to the corpse and watch its own body before death. At this time, the three corpses have not appeared, and the karma has not been formed, so it is extremely free, light and sharp, the thoughts are clear and unobstructed, and the awareness is seven times that of the previous life. The experiences of this life will flash in the spiritual platform.

The bardo state of an ordinary person after death only lasts for seven days, which is the theory of the first seven days. However, the alchemist's bardo body can retain this special state for a long time, thereby keeping himself in a state between yin and yang, which is indescribable and incredible. In this state, every thought that is slightly stained can be restored to purity. Alchemists who have reached this level are no longer afraid of ordinary corpse qi, filthy qi, blood qi, or the power of fanatical incense wishes.

Compared with the Yin God, the bardo body is undoubtedly a big step forward, from being like a ghost to being between Yin and Yang, and then the Yin God turns into a Yang God, and can face martial arts and thunder without being affected by anything. restraint.

It can be said that the martial artist’s invulnerability is due to his extremely powerful body, and the alchemist’s bardo body is

The ultimate power of the soul.

This is what Qi Xuansu lacks.

There are also strengths and weaknesses in the Return to True Stage. He is as strong as Zhang Yuelu, who single-handedly defeated several masters in the Return to True Stage, but as weak as Wan Xiuwu, who was defeated head-on by Qi Xuansu, who has not yet entered the Return to True Stage.

In addition, Qi Xuansu also has a huge disadvantage, that is, he does not have any powerful magical powers, only a "Dayan Spirit Sword" and "Tantai Fist Intention". On the other hand, people like Zhang Yuelu and Xie Qiuniang at least have a great method. On the side, Zhang Yuelu even knows two great skills, so if he really has to face these proud men, Qi Xuansu will still lose more than he wins. If Zhang Yuelu uses the semi-immortal "photographic paper", Qi Xuansu will definitely lose.

However, Qi Xuansu is still full of confidence in his future. He is increasingly convinced that "Xuanyu" is the key to completing Sanren. As long as he can get enough "Xuanyu", he can always completely complete Sanren and put the finishing touch on it. Like Zhang Yuelu, he became a banished immortal.

As long as he becomes a banished immortal, he can be recognized by the Taoist sect, so it is not impossible to be taught the Dharma of Dacheng.

Thinking of this, Qi Xuansu's thoughts began to wander.

Now it seems that his long-term plan is very clear. He collects "Xuanyu", improves his realm, and strives to become a banished immortal as soon as possible. At the same time, he seeks to return to the Taoist sect, marry Zhang Yuelu, wear a sword of wisdom, rise to the top of the Taoist sect, and reach the pinnacle of life. .

The mid-term plan is to improve his realm, save some peace money, and wait for an opportunity to take revenge. Now that Wan Xiuwu is dead, there are still four people left, namely: Yue Liuli, Monk Yanxiu, Zhao Fuan, and Feng Bo. The first two are nothing to Qi Xuansu, they just lack a suitable opportunity. For the latter two, Qi Xuansu is not a rival yet, but Qi Xuansu believes that day will not be too far away.

As for the short-term plan, it is very simple. It is to stabilize one's realm and practice, and at the same time, be familiar with the methods of the alchemist, learn "innate divine calculation", and under limited conditions, try to learn some magic that is not too advanced and practical. Also, go to Longmen Mansion and complete the human escort trip.

In fact, for Qi Xuansu, after entering the stage of returning to his true nature, even if he does not use the "immortality wine", he can still take the "blood elixir" reluctantly, but one cannot stand without faith. Since he agreed and they had been waiting for him for a month, he couldn't give up the job halfway and let them find someone else at the last minute. This would be a trap for them and make it difficult for Qiniang.

Therefore, Qi Xuansu still had to continue to Longmen Mansion to complete this errand.

Thinking of this, Qi Xuansu walked leisurely past the West Market Execution Ground and out of the long street. Then there was a moment of trance, and when he came back to his senses, he was already in the "Ghost Pass".

Not far away is another pass of "Ghost Pass". After passing this pass, you will officially enter the territory of Zhongzhou.

The experience of ghost country is like a big dream.
