Chapter 81: Zhong Lu preaches!

In the picture, Wang Yuanjing saw two people talking.

"I don't know something."

A man whose face could not be seen clearly and who looked younger said so.

"What's the matter?"

The other man, who looked older, asked.

"What is the difference between Yin God and Yang God?"

the young man asked.

Wang Yuanjing, who was standing aside, couldn't help but frown. He first observed the surrounding environment, and after confirming that he was not a victim of someone's conspiracy, he wanted to step forward and inquire about the situation.

However, the two people in the communication seemed unable to see him, as if they were in different dimensions.

He had no choice but to continue standing aside and listening to what the two said.

"Pure yin without yang is a ghost, a mixture of yin and yang is a yin god, and pure yang without yin is a yang god. After a mortal dies, his yin soul sheds his body and becomes a ghost; a person who practices cultivation but leaves the body too early before his yin is exhausted is called a yin god."

"When it comes out, one may see a white light like a river in the eyes, which means the spirit comes out of the eyes; or hear the sound of bells, chimes, flutes and pipes in the ears, which means the spirit comes out of the ears. Because its Yang Qi is not strong enough, it cannot break through the gate of heaven, so it takes a different path and follows its convenience."

"After coming out, he was free and happy, walking through the streets and alleys, and climbing mountains by the water. He could only take shape, but not split it. He could only wander around the world, but could not fly or change his form. Therefore, although he had the air of an immortal, he was still a ghost."

At this time, the older man began to answer the younger man's questions.

"Can a Yin God be refined into a Yang God?"

the young man asked.

"Yes. If you are a student of immortality and are not content with small achievements, you can continue to practice after the Yin Spirit emerges and shatter the original form of the Yin Spirit. When the Yin is exhausted and the Yang is pure, the True Immortal will appear."

The older man replied.

Wang Yuanjing, who was listening to their conversation, was shocked.

I didn't expect that the question of the soul leaving the body, which had troubled me for a long time, would be answered so casually by these two people.

Could it be that some Taoist leader is secretly giving me advice?

Wang Yuanjing thought.

"How to crush the original form?"

The young man asked again.

“Forget your body, empty your mind, and in the void, nothing can grow. Then you can change your mortal body into a spiritual one, and turn an ordinary person into a true person.”

The older man continued to answer, and then, as if thinking of something, he smiled and spoke.

"You can also eat the elixir of the Supreme Lord Lao."

"Ordinary people don't have such a chance to be immortal!"

The young man sighed.

Then, the young man asked a question that made Wang Yuanjing extremely concerned.

"Now that the Yang Spirit has emerged, has the work been completed?"

"Good question! There are two choices: one is to stop here and live happily in space, flying thousands of miles, stepping on the clouds, overlooking the mountains and the sea. Or play in the human world, changing into thousands of things, as you wish. This is the quick way to achieve success."

The quick method must have drawbacks, so the young man asked again:
"What's the second one?"

"The second is for those who are determined and do not seek quick results, but are willing to do slow work. The Yang Spirit can come out but does not come out, and is cooked with pure fire, and the body, bones and flesh are transformed with it, and the body and spirit are combined into one again. This is the practice of refining emptiness and merging with the Tao."

"The body and spirit are both wonderful, in harmony with the great way that pervades all things and is omnipresent. Hundreds of thousands of billions of incarnations appear, with great magical powers, able to dispel clouds and mist, move mountains and fill the sea. Only then can one be considered to have attained the great way."

It turns out that there is actually a way after Yang Shen!
Lianxuhedao! What a Lianxuhedao!
Even if Wang Yuanjing was slow-witted at this moment, he knew that he might have encountered a great opportunity.

"How to start?"

the young man asked.

“Put the Yang Spirit into the ancestral orifice, refine it again and again, refine the spirit back to emptiness, refine the Yang Spirit a hundred times, refine the Yang Spirit’s wisdom light to generate divine fire, penetrate the hundred orifices of the body, the Yang flame rises into the sky, penetrates the feet and the top, refine the body into the Yang Spirit, let the divine light shine everywhere, refine the divine fire throughout the body, the body will collapse, shattered into the innate ancestral qi that seems to exist but not exist, seems to not exist but not not exist, has no shape and no trace, and returns to the void, achieving the unity of heaven and man.”

"Only then can it be considered successful!"

The older man replied.

Just as Wang Yuanjing was digesting what the two had said, he saw the fog on the young man's face suddenly disappear. He turned around and looked at Wang Yuanjing, smiling and asking:

"So, do you understand?"

Wang Yuanjing was shocked.

He can see himself!

Then, he suddenly discovered that the young man's face was seven points similar to the portrait of Lu Zu enshrined in Yongle Palace.

Then, his consciousness became blurred and he returned to the room in Yongle Palace.

Where have you been? Why can't I feel your presence in these three days?
Madam Qing's voice rang in Wang Yuanjing's heart.

"Three days?"

Wang Yuanjing said in surprise.

He clearly felt that less than half an hour had passed, but how did it feel like three days?

Is your brain broken?
Mrs. Qing asked very viciously.

"Shut up first and let me take it easy."

Wang Yuanjing directly isolated his perception and sorted out what had just happened.

If my guess is correct, the young man in the dream or illusion just now is most likely the Pure Yang Emperor Lu Dongbin.

Although the face of the other older man was not clearly seen, according to historical records, there was a high probability that he was Emperor Zhongli Quan of Chengzhengyang.

According to historical records, the two of them, Zhong and Lu, were master and apprentice. They were the founders of Quanzhen, one of the two great sects in the alien world. In terms of status, Wang Chongyang would probably have to step aside.

If there really are immortals in this world, these two big guys must be among them.

So, I have been noticed by the big boss?
Wang Yuanjing was a little amused and confused. He had not expected that he would actually encounter the kind of things described in the vernacular novels where immortals preached.

At the same time, he was also thinking about the two questions that Zhong and Lu had just mentioned.

"It seems that the Yin Spirit leaving the body is indeed not a good choice."

Wang Yuanjing seemed to be thinking about something.

The content of the conversation between Zhong and Lu undoubtedly verified his guess.

After a mortal's birth, he or she will live in a different realm according to the circumstances, and will never look back until old age. When the yang energy fades and dies, he or she will enter the realm of the Nine Netherworlds.

What can be guessed is that even if this external Qi is not fatal to humans, it can be considered an impurity that will deplete the Yang Qi. Once the Yang Qi is completely depleted, one will experience death and enter the negative realm of the Nine Netherworlds.

Therefore, if a soul that has not yet achieved the state of pure yin and pure yang is allowed to leave the body rashly, it may easily be contaminated by these negative impurities, making it more difficult to transform into a yang soul.

But listening to their conversation, even so, there is still a way to remedy the situation.

This is what Master Zhong said, to shatter the original form, to reach the state of forgetting the body, emptying the mind, and being in a void where nothing exists. Then you can change the mortal body into a spiritual body and turn an ordinary person into a real person.

Regardless of how to achieve the so-called state of "forgetting the body, emptying the mind, and being in a void where nothing exists", the difficulty is not that simple.

How important is the human spirit?

Losing one's soul is more fatal than losing one's heart, but you can still replace it if you lose your heart.

With today's medical technology, as long as you find a suitable partner, living an extra ten or twenty years should not be a problem.

But what if the soul is gone?

Is there any remedy in this world?
So how can it be broken just like that? This process is absolutely a life-or-death struggle.

As for why many Quanzhen people are completely unaware of this, Wang Yuanjing has some guesses in his mind.

Perhaps there is some intentional screening?
Cultivation is a process of constant screening. If you cannot discover the problem early like me, although it will not lead to no way to seek the truth, it is undoubted that you will need to spend more effort to make up for it in the later stage.

"There is also this method of training the spirit to return to the void."

Wang Yuanjing pondered secretly in his heart.

Why does it feel like the third level of reverse birth of the Trinity Sect at first glance?

Both of them are about refining themselves into innate ancestral qi, but in comparison, the third level of reverse birth is more violent.

Unlike the Quanzhen approach, which goes from refining essence into Qi to refining Qi into spirit, and then to refining spirit into emptiness, it proceeds step by step to form a complete system.

The three levels of reverse life are aimed at transforming into innate qi from the very beginning of practice. Although it cannot be said that the first two steps are missing, it is not given as much importance as Quanzhen.

It is no wonder that the left gate still cannot reach the sky after it has grown three levels.

Compared with Quanzhen Sect, a serious sect that has produced immortals, the foundation of Sanyi Sect is still a little lacking.

However, if I have the opportunity to see the full picture of the three levels of reverse life in the future, I can use it as a reference for my own practice, and I may gain something from it.

After all, the two ancestors Zhong and Lu only told him the way after Yang Shen, but did not provide the exact method. The rest he had to work hard on his own.

Wang Yuanjing thought.

Although his predecessor had stayed in the Lu family for a period of time, due to his lack of aptitude in refining Qi, he was far from reaching the threshold for practicing reverse rebirth.

"Come out and practice with me."

After sorting out everything that had just happened, Wang Yuanjing freed himself from his own perception and spoke to Madam Qing.

However, he forgot one thing.

Although he felt that only a short while had passed, for Madam Qing it felt like three days had actually passed, which meant that he had not yet endured the challenge from the other party today.

According to the agreement, Madam Qing would only cooperate with him in practicing once if she failed to disturb his mind that day.

So, he was once again ridiculed by the vicious Madam Qing.

Is it true that “one day in heaven is one year on earth”?
Wang Yuanjing couldn't help but doubt his life.

"Forget it, that's it."

Wang Yuanjing ignored all the insults from Madam Qing. He would have to rely on this guy for his next breakthrough to Yang Shen, so it wouldn't hurt him to get scolded a few times.

Practice is the most important thing.

It's a good opportunity to use this foul-mouthed guy to train my character.

After leaving the house, Wang Yuanjing first went out of Yongle Palace to buy some cinnabar and talisman paper, and then returned to the room again.
Grind and draw the talisman.

Bai Yang Zhenren once reminded him that focusing on one thing can be a good way to train a person's character.

Wang Yuanjing planned to give it a try. It just so happened that there were some talismans and spells recorded in "Mo Jin Rou Gu", but he had never had the chance to practice them before.

For a long time to come, he will have to compete with the Three Demon Ladies in wits and courage.

The opponent can lose countless times, but he cannot fail even once, so he plans to use the method of drawing talismans to maintain a calm state of mind and get through the next period of time until he achieves Yang God.

Although True Man Baiyang passed away, he was also free.

But Yongle Palace was a good place for meditation, so he was not in a hurry to leave.

So he waited.
So I stayed there for two years.

　I will update 5k first, and then another 2k in the afternoon.

　　I will update less today, and will get into the plot after I finish writing the next chapter.

　　The author needs to take some time to review the plot, so there are only 7k today.
