Refining Taoism and ascending to immortality

The carriage stopped in front of a bamboo forest, and Wang Daolin jumped out of it with a slight jump.

Looking around, there is a quiet path half-covered by continuous green bamboos. Even in late autumn, it is still lush and green, which refreshes the eyes and refreshes the mind. The originally impetuous mood seems to have been calmed to a certain extent.

He straightened his clothes and walked along the path into the forest.

It was as if Wang Daolin's footsteps had startled a white bird perched in the forest. The white bird fluttered and took off, waving its spread feathers. The sunlight falling from the branches and leaves moved brilliantly frame by frame, with a kind of movement. vivid.

White birds, sunlight, bamboo sounds, light and shadow, naturally become a painting.

The further you go, it's like swimming in a painting.

When they reached the depths of the bamboo forest, Wang Daolin saw Zhou Luoyun sitting on the bamboo bed reading, and suddenly he had a backbone. He really put his irritation away and did not disturb him. He just stood with his hands down and waited quietly.

There are two tables in front of the eyes, one for pens and ink, one for the incense burner. Books are scattered around randomly, half of the bamboo slips can be seen, and the harp, chime, and harp are also extremely delicate.

After Zhou Luoyun read one book, he inserted it into a bamboo tube, took out a bamboo slip from another book tube, and unfolded it gently.

Under the skylight, on the bamboo slips, it can be seen that there are only two words on the bamboo slips, like smearing, wiping, dragons and snakes, seeming to be changing. Just by looking at it, there is a sense of simplicity that strikes your eyebrows.

Zhou Luoyun watched with concentration. From time to time, he would frown, mutter something, or feel happy as if he had gained something, with a very rich expression.

It seems as if you are not reading two words, but reading and comprehending a thick Taoist scripture, or witnessing an extraordinary history.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Luoyun closed the bamboo slips and put them back into the bamboo tube. This time, he didn't get any new bamboo slips. He just sat quietly on the bamboo bed, looking tired and exhausted.

After a pause, he took out an elixir from the prepared jade bottle and drank it quickly. After feeling a little better, he closed his eyes and sorted out the insights and gains he had just seen.

The characters he just looked at were not the characters commonly used in today’s cultivation world, but ancient mysterious characters.

Since the beginning of the world, there have been powerful people who have watched the natural evolution of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers and the earth's surface. They have understood something in their hearts. Under the influence of heaven and man, they have recorded it in pictures and texts, which contains the mysteries of heaven and earth. It is called "mystery". "Wen" or "Xuantu".

Legend has it that in ancient times, qi masters could glimpse the deepest mysteries in the world just by understanding these mysterious texts and diagrams.

Once enlightened, he becomes an immortal and ascends to heaven.

It is difficult to witness the events of ancient times. After all, time has changed and things have changed. However, all the great immortal sects in ancient and modern times still attach great importance to Xuanwen.

After half a cup of tea, Zhou Luoyun opened his eyes. He rubbed his swollen eyebrows with his hands, sighed sincerely and said, "It's difficult."

He learned from the people in the clan that understanding the Xuanwen would help him be selected into the Immortal Sect at the Jingchen Dharma Ceremony, so when he had free time, he worked hard in the bamboo forest, hoping to gain a little more confidence in entering the Shangxuan Sect. Weights.

Only when I actually did it did I realize that it was not easy.

Even with his profound background, he managed to get Xuanwen from his family and asked his elders for careful guidance. But now that I have started to understand, I have made very little progress, and it consumes a lot of mental energy.

But on the other hand, if I think about it, if it is so difficult for me, other peers may not be able to get involved in this area.

"You can still be one step ahead."

If you put in the effort, you will be rewarded. A smile appeared on Zhou Luoyun's face. The next moment, he turned his eyes and saw Wang Daolin.

Wang Daolin's eyes met and he stepped forward and said: "Master, you can't work so hard all the time. You have to take care of your body. Even if you slow down a little, the rest of the younger generation of the Zhou family in Hengnan will not be able to catch up."

"Cultivation is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat."

Zhou Luoyun sat on the bamboo bed, surrounded by a circle of light. It was not bright, gentle and gentle, and said: "And our eyes should not be limited to the Hengnan Zhou family. There are many people who only participate in the Jingchen Dharma Assembly." A powerful family. What’s more, there are also elites from various sects.”

His few words conveyed his eagerness and confidence to compete with the geniuses in the world!

As a true direct descendant, Wang Daolin was very happy that his young master could have such ambitions, but he also said business: "Young master, you let the staring Zhou Qing into Qingyun Garden. According to what people in Qingyun Garden said, he Was assigned to Shuixiang Xiaozhu.”

Hearing this, Zhou Luoyun stood up from the bamboo bed, put his hands behind his hands, and said: "I know that Zhou Qing's uncle has dealt with Zhou Xian, and he also had someone go to Qingyun Garden some time ago, and he talked thoroughly. . However, Zhou Xian still let Zhou Qing enter the house and arranged to go to Shuixiang Xiaozhu. It seems that Zhou Xian did owe the other party a lot of favors. "

"Zhou Xian from Qingyun Garden?"

There was deep fear in Wang Daolin's eyes. He was a powerful Mesozoic figure. Not only was he rising rapidly, but he also had the support of many people in his clan.

It would be really troublesome if he tried his best to protect Zhou Qing.

Zhou Luoyun's expression was relaxed. He looked at the halo on the bamboo leaves not far away. When the wind blew, the lights were big and small, as if they were real and illusory. He spoke leisurely and said: "Zhou Xian asked Zhou Qing to enter Shuixiang Xiaozhu. But it’s just a favor to Zhou Ming, and he won’t try his best to protect Zhou Qing.”

Wang Daolin was startled, then pondered for a while, and murmured: "If Zhou Xian tried his best to protect Zhou Qing, he should have said something to make people retreat, instead of being silent like now."

"Yes."

Zhou Luoyun walked forward a few steps, under the bamboo leaves, the green soaked between his eyebrows, a quiet scene, he said: "You should check the people in Shuixiang Xiaozhu? Let me see if there is anyone suitable to help us."

As expected, Wang Daolin had prepared a list long ago. He took it out from his sleeve, handed it over, and said: "Master, please take a look."

Zhou Luoyun took it and examined the names on the list. Under the skylight, it was a golden green color, and his eyes were as deep as water.

He looked at it for a full quarter of an hour, and then pointed to the person at the end of the list.

"Zhang Chong."

Wang Daolin sorted out the list, and with just a glance, he saw the person chosen by his young master, and he frowned.

Zhang Chong is the nephew of the wife of Qingyun Jushi. He has a status in Qingyun Garden and has a hot temper. He is indeed a suitable person to deal with Zhou Qing in Shuixiang Xiaozhu.

However, if we only talk about the power of the aristocratic families, the Yunhuai Zhang family is stronger than the Hengnan Zhou family. Zhang Chong has always relied on this point. Even in the Hengnan Zhou family, he often looks arrogant and is very difficult to deal with.

It is not easy to get Zhang Chong to do things.

It can be said that everyone else on the list is easier to deal with than Zhang Chong.

Zhou Luoyun saw Wang Daolin's doubts. He put down the list and said in a calm tone, but there was a metallic tremor that echoed around, saying: "Everyone in Shuixiang Xiaozhu is in seclusion. Most of them will be in seclusion for two or three months. Only Zhang Chong will definitely come out in a month."

His handsome face was slightly cold, and he said: "Zhou Qing suddenly went to Shuixiang Xiaozhu, which is puzzling. It is better to solve it as soon as possible."

After listening, Wang Daolin thought for a while, and his face gradually became solemn.

According to the news, Zhou Qing just broke through to the level of Tongmai by chance. According to common sense, he should sit quietly in meditation and breathe, circulate the Zhoutian, and accumulate for the next stage of marrow washing with water grinding.

Because of the spiritual spring, the water vapor in the Shuixiang Xiaozhu is full of spiritual energy, as if it is real, which is easy to interfere with the Tongmai monks who are running the Zhoutian.

For Tongmai monks, the disadvantages of Shuixiang Xiaozhu outweigh the advantages, but Zhou Qing did not hesitate to use a favor from his uncle and went to the Shuixiang Xiaozhu in Qingyun Garden.

Things are abnormal, Zhou Qing is not stupid, he must have his unknown calculations!

After understanding this, Wang Daolin said firmly: "I will talk to Zhang Chong as soon as possible."

"Go."

Zhou Luoyun waved his hand and asked Wang Daolin to do things. After resting in the forest for a while, he did not go to comprehend the Xuanwen Xuantu, but took out the Taoist scriptures and studied them carefully to increase his knowledge accumulation.

Qingyun Garden, Shuixiang Xiaozhu.

It was night, the moon and the spiritual spring competed for brilliance, and it was brilliant. Through the glass window, it was reflected into the Bingliu Jingshe, like fine and fragmented falling snow, clear inside and outside.

Under the moonlight and the water, Zhou Qing sat steadily on the jade bed, practicing the "Yuanhuang Hualongtu", and his internal energy roamed in the meridian network, circle after circle.

Compared with when he just entered the meridian, his meridian network now truly covered his whole body, and his internal energy circulated smoothly and at an amazing speed in the increasingly thick and tough meridians.

In the past, when he circulated his internal energy, it was like driving a small boat in a narrow river, moving forward carefully and slowly. But now, it is like sailing a boat in the river and the sea, riding the wind and waves, and rushing forward.

With each turn, the meridians became more resilient under the flushing of the internal energy. At the same time, the internal energy also removed the dross and retained the essence in this process, becoming more and more condensed.

After an unknown period of time, when the internal energy circulated to a certain extent, suddenly, there was a sound of tearing silk, and then the internal energy actually penetrated and released along the meridians, strand by strand, circling in front of the body, and finally, it gathered more and more.

The internal energy was strand by strand, with substance but no form.

When the moonlight outside was reflected, it shone on it, dyeing it with a layer of ice white. At first glance, it seemed like the sparse hair on the temples in the bronze mirror, each strand of which was shining.

Wherever the thought came, the internal energy changed, between hardness and softness, and could block all external forces.

"Release the internal energy."

Zhou Qing looked at the internal energy in front of him and felt the power on it. Only when his own meridians were connected and the internal energy was like a training, could it be manifested outside, showing around and protecting himself.

At this point, not only the physical body was further improved, but the external internal energy was not afraid of swords and knives, and it took a big step forward on the road to transcendence.

"One month."

Zhou Qing slowly retracted the internal energy, looking at the moon hanging in the sky outside, the bright moon shining on the water, and the mist was clear. He calculated the time and couldn't help but sigh at the mystery of "Yuanhuang Hualongtu".

All meridians are connected, and the internal energy is released, which is one of the signs of the great success of the meridians.

Generally speaking, it takes a long time for a cultivator to go from the beginning of opening meridians to the great success. Even with the help of elixirs, it takes at least half a year. After all, in this process, the internal energy needs to be constantly transported around the body to remove the dross and retain the essence of the internal energy, so as to better open the meridians and build a network in the body that is easy to practice.

However, "Yuanhuang Hualongtu" takes a new approach. Through the spiritual spring, the water energy is passively introduced into the body, and through the resonance of the acupoints, the internal energy becomes different, which accelerates this stage.

Breaking the routine will lead to extraordinary results.
