Pindao should be robbed

Chapter 24 Going Down the Mountain
(Thanks to the book friends for their rewards, plus a [-]-word chapter)
As the current Taoism methods are too humble, the method of increasing mana with external force is ultimately not advisable. The master and apprentice discussed for a long time and had to give up.

Although the two are called masters and apprentices, they are actually teachers and friends. Although Chang Long is an old man who has practiced for many years, he is still a wild way, which belongs to self-study and self-enlightenment, and many things are still in the fog.

Liu Qiao's magic power is superficial, he was young in Taoism, and his understanding of the world of practice is extremely lacking, and he relies entirely on Chang Long's explanation.

However, Liu Qiao's practice of Yuxu secret art is the orthodox of the three religions. Although it is only a legend outside the teaching, it can only be regarded as the most shallow method of Yuxu Palace, but it is a first-class magic method in the outside world.

In addition, Jiang Shang has taught some key points of practice, and Liu Qiao can be regarded as a person with a good vision and unique insights. The practice he explained can often point to the subtleties, which also solved many doubts for Chang Long.

In particular, some jade board immortal books expound on Qi training, precise annotations on meridians, acupoints, and the internal structure of the human body.

As well as Liu Qiao's own experience, even if he didn't teach the method, just citing some of it solved many problems that had plagued Chang Long for decades, and benefited Chang Long a lot, correcting some mistakes and omissions in his practice.

Chang Long, on the other hand, told Liu Qiao all about his practice experience, magic tools, spiritual roots, and the origin of the effects of pills, as well as some rumors and secrets that he had explored for hundreds of years.

The two masters and apprentices discussed Taoism and practice in Nanshan Cave for several months.

In the morning, we climbed to the top of the cliff together, sat on the high platform, watched the sunrise and the sea of ​​clouds, and practiced Qi.

At noon, each of them took out their weapons, as usual, gesticulating with fists, feet, weapons, and exchanging martial arts. During this period, Chang Long's martial arts was systematically guided by Liu Qiao, and it can be said to be progressing rapidly.

In the afternoon, Liu Qiao went out to collect herbs, while Chang Long devoted himself to the cultivation of the medicine field, which was newly opened by the two masters and apprentices.

At twilight, they read at night with lamps on. Liu Qiao taught Changlong Daojing, as well as literacy and reading, or asked and answered each other, and talked about mysteries and Taoism.

In this way, no matter what the two masters and apprentices are thinking in their hearts, at least they are friendly on the surface, as if they really have a bit of humility.

……

In the blink of an eye, another half a year has passed, and it has been two years since Liu Qiao went to the mountain to practice, and it has been almost a year since he took Chang Long as his apprentice.

This year, Liu Qiao worked very hard, and he cultivated a year of mana in eleven months. Adding the original mana, it has been two years since he regained his mana.

Although the mana is still low, it has improved every year, and two years of mana has increased the lifespan by two years, which is also gratifying.

If he could live to be 60 years old, even if he is not practicing now, he can live to be 62 years old.

In fact, if a Qi trainer never slacks off, practices hard every year, and there is no calamity or calamity, then theoretically, he can live to the end of the world.

But there are also kalpas in the sky, let alone human beings? If you don't become a fairy, if you don't cultivate, you will not be worn out for ten thousand kalpas, and you will end up as a generation of ants.

Although you can live forever, this is just adobe at the top of a kiln, and it can be washed away when it rains heavily. The golden lotus is made of blue bricks from mud and sand, which is not afraid of wind and rain.

However, in this year, in addition to the improvement of mana, Taoism has also become more proficient.

After Chang Long's detailed explanation, Liu Qiao realized that the methods used by Qi refiners can be divided into Taoism and supernatural powers.

Taoist practitioners have a technique in the Tao, which is extremely broad in itself, but compared with the spells handed down by the immortals in the later generations, in the ancient times, Taoism was considered extremely rough, and it was far less fancy than the later generations.

Although it is not as mysterious and fluent as the later generations, its advantages are extremely obvious. The ancient Taoism seems to be extremely rough, but it is almost the Daoist's understanding of Dao, and then peel it off and pass it on directly to his disciples.

For example, the Great Escape of the Five Elements, when it is superficial, it is just the five escapism techniques, but in the end, it is the Dao of the Five Elements, blowing the breath of immortality, instantly transforming into a golden mountain, pinching the golden sword, making the whole body like gold and iron, invulnerable to swords and guns, etc.

Any Taoism that has been practiced to a high level can be refined into a seal in the primordial spirit, which can be cast instantly.

So how deep do you have to practice to fully understand and refine into a talisman?
In fact, no one made a classification for this, but Liu Qiao himself assumed some stages of Taoism practice.

Divided into four grades, taking the Five Elements Dunshu as an example:
For beginners, Liu Qiao just started to practice the earth escape technique before, and the chanting of mantras is relatively unfamiliar, and he will make mistakes when he is nervous.

At the stage of proficiency, the mantra and seal formula can be pinched in an instant, and the sand can be sprinkled, and it will fly along with the breath, and basically there will be no mistakes, and the spell can be completed in one breath or a few breaths.

At this time, this evasion technique is worthy of its name. Before it is perfect, it is not very proficient, and the time before casting the spell is too long. If it is really dangerous, there is no time to escape.

In the stage of Dacheng, one only needs to make a tactic, and the conditioned reflex can escape in an instant. Among the Conferred Gods, those who can escape from some formations in an instant, or when they are burned by the fire of the gods, are all at this level.

The last stage is the consummation stage, practiced into the five-element talisman, united with the primordial spirit, not only can it be cast instantly, but also can transform into various changes, such as finger stones turning into gold, flowers blooming instantly, etc.

At this time, it can be said that the skill is advanced, so the Taoism at this stage is supernatural powers. Among the gods, few gods can practice to this level, only Wen Taishi, Lu Ya and a few others.

The so-called supernatural powers are actually consummation-level Taoism. When they are practiced into talismans, they can be cast instantly, and they need various changes. The most important thing is that when they reach the supernatural power stage, they will no longer consume mana.

In other words, supernatural powers are instantaneous and can be cast without mana, but few people can practice them.

After understanding, in addition to supernatural powers that do not need to consume mana, there is another method that does not require mana, and that is the magic weapon treasure.

This is also the reason why among the Conferred Gods, Qi refiners often use magic weapons to fight against the enemy. The power is secondarily powerful. The main reason is that there is no need for hard training and study, and there is no delay in refining Qi to prolong life. The most important thing is that there is no need to consume mana.

Therefore, in the eyes of many people, it seems that most of the Qi trainers in the pre-Fengshen period put the cart before the horse, did not pay attention to themselves, and all relied on magic weapons to bully the weak with the magic weapon. .

Gossip ends here, let's talk about this day.

Liu Qiao thought that his own Taoism had just started, and he was barely perfect, so he was very quiet and thought about moving, and wanted to go out for a walk.

Immediately called Chang Long, said: "Poverty Dao wants to go out of the mountain, and also find a magic weapon for our master and apprentice..."

"Master's Taoism has not yet been mastered, why don't disciples go with you, so that we can take care of you on the way." Chang Long said sincerely.

"No need, you can stay in the cave to practice, but remember, don't cause trouble, if you are bored, study Taoism and martial arts, and don't feel itchy, go out of the mountain to catch someone to eat, otherwise the poor will come back, it will not be light Go around." Liu Qiao said in a deep voice.

Thinking of Liu Qiao's incantations such as the seven arrows on the nail head and the five ghosts worshiping the altar, Chang Long couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and said: "Don't dare, don't dare... I don't know how long Master will be out for?"

"Hmm... at least a few days, at most half a year..." Regarding the search for the magic weapon, Liu Qiao only had some ideas based on the memory of his previous life, but he was not fully sure.

Chang Long didn't really care about how long Liu Qiao had been away, but the sudden parting made him feel a little lonely, with no one to talk to, and he was not used to it.

After all, even though we have been together for just one year, they are happier than the 500 years of solitary practice in the past. In the past, although we were free and unrestrained, we killed people as we wanted, but we were always lonely in our hearts.

As for the idea of ​​going out to eat people while Liu Qiao is gone, he really doesn't have the idea now.

It turned out that Liu Qiao had something to do with him, and the threat of "seven arrows on the nail head" with that bottle of heart blood really bluffed him.

Secondly, the cannibalism in the past was really not to fill his stomach, but because he used to be impatient with hard training and played freely all day long. Cannibalism was just to replenish mana and prolong his life.

Now that I am back to the right way, I have practiced hard with Liu Qiao for a year, and I have also increased my mana for a year. I feel that compared with the mana obtained by eating people, it is more stable after all. .

Liu Qiao didn't care what he thought. After explaining the matter, he packed up his bags and left, before he left, he said: "Those medicinal materials should be taken care of and watered frequently. When I come back, they should be mature. It's good to refine it into a pill..."

"Hey, master, don't wait, I have something for you..."

Chang Long suddenly remembered something, told Liu Qiao to wait a moment, ran into the cave, rummaged for a long time, took the fur bag, and handed it to Liu Qiao.

Seeing Liu Qiao's doubts, he explained: "This is the fur of a kind of empty beast, and Qi refiners often use it as a treasure bag. It seems to be only a foot wide, but it can hold several square meters of sand and soil, and the width is several feet.

Since the master went out to look for the treasure of the town cave, how could he not have a good container, this thing is just for the master, and it will not be ashamed to take it out to meet fellow practitioners..."

Liu Qiao took the bag, opened it, and looked at it. There were some fresh fruits in it, such as Polygonatum or Puerariae root. He couldn't help laughing and said, "You have a heart, well, you can go back to the cave to practice, don't send it away..."

After saying that, under Chang Long's watchful eye, he walked out of the cave.

The reason why he didn't bring Chang Long with him in this trip was because he was afraid of meeting his fellow disciples.

Although like Liu Qiao, who practiced Yuxu Taoism, did not worship the sect of interpretation, but only worshiped the ancestors and masters, it was called "paiwai bianzhuan", which basically belonged to its own lineage.

Because even Liu Qiao himself is just a second-generation disciple who reluctantly entered Yuxu's sect. Although he has entered the Yujing Dharma register, he is not considered the true biography of the Twelve Caves at all. .

That is, you can open another branch in the sect of explaining religion. In fact, logically speaking, you can set up the rules and regulations of the sect without violating the fundamentals of Yuxu.

But after all, the Taoist is young, and many things still need to seek the consent of the above, such as accepting apprentices.

If one doesn't pay attention, the opponents in the teacher's school will see it, and label themselves as arrogant, mediocre, and mistaken for others, and the impact will be bad.

But since his practice, he has been asking the altar for Dharma, and even burned more than ten articles, which are longer and more exaggerated than what Jiang Shang wrote, but he still can't get in touch with Yuanshi Tianzun, and he can't respond in the slightest.

Therefore, Chang Long couldn't officially become a teacher, and the sect didn't know about it, so he couldn't be regarded as a disciple of Yuxu.
