Chapter 289 Subduing the Dragon, Subduing the Tiger, Cooking Ding and Jie Niu
It was only then that Qi Jingzhi suddenly discovered that the "Qi as Function Theory" in the general outline of "Qingyu Secret Scroll" had been quietly unsealed. As his mind turned, the scriptures inside gradually bloomed with brilliance.

"When the mind is successful, you will be endowed with a little spiritual light. When the spiritual light appears, vitality will arise. The vitality will return to the original one, and those who get it will be so drunk that they forget to sleep and lose sleep."

"The yang of vitality is the Qi of the Qinghua Shaoyang of the East, the precursor of all things, and the gathering of all things."

"In Yuanyang, there is a big mulberry tree growing in the blue sea, thousands of feet long. The two roots of the tree grow at the same time and depend on each other. It is called fusang. The practitioner eats the mulberry, and the body becomes golden light, soaring to the Yuan Palace."

The young man couldn't help but secretly nodded. If it hadn't happened like Bifangniao, this would have been the normal path for those who practice "Blue Feather Secret Scroll".

Once a monk finds the golden crow spiritual light, the acquired Qinghua Shaoyang Qi obtained from the previous meal of Xia Xia and Qi will return to the innate and transform into Yuan Yang, thereby opening up a "blue sea" in the heart and growing "Fusang", and then eat it If there are "mulberries" on the tree, "the body will turn into golden light and soar into the Yuan Palace", and it will be considered as ascending to the spiritual platform.

Looking back at this time, after he found the Golden Crow aura, he did not see any innate Qinghua Shaoyang energy. It should have been intercepted by the Yin Demon and Bi Fangniao.

Precisely because he failed to absorb Yuanyang, he failed to light up the "Qi as Function Theory", so he was kept in the dark. If he hadn't vaguely sensed the emptiness in his heart, he would have borrowed the spirit by mistake. Xing Dao Yun, build a Ruomu spiritual platform, I am afraid that the road has been interrupted.

As a result, the original Bihai Fuso became today's Songgu Ruomu.

Somewhat coincidentally, Ruomu and Fuso are both types of mulberry wood and should be relatives of each other.

As for the blue sea, it should be one of the signatures of the Bihai Immortal Sect in Tiantai Mountain. It is also somewhat similar to the vast expanse of pine waves in the Pine Valley. It is just that the foundations of the two families are slightly different.

In other words, after struggling for a long time, the young man still has not escaped from the confines of the "Secret Scroll of Green Feather". As the Master of Xuandu Temple said, he is still on the same path as his predecessors, but the details are different. It just suits me better.

"Well, the only flaw is...my Ruomu plant doesn't bear the so-called mulberries. Is it because it doesn't grow in the first place? Or is it that the previous Yuanyang was intercepted by the Bi Fang bird, so it failed to bloom and bear fruit?"

"Right now, I have six qi on the spiritual platform. Four of them may have a superficial appearance or cannot be moved. However, the positive yang qi and the hangyang qi are like arms moving fingers. They are pure in texture. They have obviously returned to their innate nature. However, we can wait a few days. , let’s see if Ruo Mu can produce something..."

The young man turned this idea around in his mind, then skipped all the subsequent details of "Theory of Qi as Function" and started reading "Theory of Kanli".

"Heaven and earth are the symbols of the universe. Kanli is the symbol of the universe."

"Kan refers to the kidney organ. Li refers to the heart. Kan Jing belongs to water, which is Yin. Li and Dong belong to fire, which is Yang."

"When the monks return to the Xiantian and fly to the Yuan Palace, they use the heart as the stem, the spiritual platform as the kun, and Kanli as the left and right.

"The Kan and the Li are opposite and rotate with each other. The Yang in the Kan enters the Li, and the Li bardo enters the Kan. Then the Yin and Yang rotate, and water and fire complement each other."

The young man looked at it and nodded secretly. If the "qi is used theory" is mainly based on Tiantai Mountain's elixir method, then the "Kanli theory" is obviously closer to the method of Xianyu Mountain's heaven and earth oven.

He carefully sorted out the contents of the general outline of "Qingyu Secret Scroll" and already knew it in his mind.

To stabilize the heart, mind, and mind, "The Theory of the Heart as the King" is the only method, so that once he realizes it, he will have the power of a tiger roaring in the valley and swallowing up evil spirits.

To find the aura of the Golden Crow, "Theory of God as the Lord" provides a method to clear the clouds and see the sun. You can find the aura and return to your innate nature.

To fly up to the Chaowu spiritual platform, the "Qi is used theory" gives the method of eating fusang and 葋, which is also the beginning of the water-milling skill of "cooking black rabbit and refining rabbit".

To make Yin, Yang, Water and Fire harmonize, "Kanli theory" also provides a method, which is similar to "cooking black and refining rabbit". It is also a practice that must be persevered, which is called "subduing the dragon and subduing the tiger".

This has to go back to the first paragraph of the "Preface to the Theory of Golden Elixir": "The Dao uses the Golden Elixir to cook the black rabbit, subdue the dragon and subdue the tiger, to understand the laws of the sky, to change the day and night, and to seize the creation of the heaven and the earth. , just like the sun and the moon combined, so you will live forever..."

As for what it means to subdue the dragon and subdue the tiger...

"Dragon and tiger are different names for yin and yang. The movement and transformation of yin and yang is unpredictable, so the dragon and tiger are the symbols. The dragon sings in the clouds, the tiger roars in the wind, and the combination of one and the other creates a change."

"Another example of alchemy, the temperature of the cauldron furnace is ever-changing, and there are also images of dragons and tigers. Mercury is easy to fly but difficult to control, so it is represented by a dragon; lead is hard to get and can bite people easily, so it is represented by a tiger."

"The alchemy method drives the dragon to follow the tiger, and drives the tiger to follow the dragon, so that the two beasts devour each other and fight in the palace of Wuji. Then the wind and clouds will merge, the universe will be unified, and the golden liquid will be transformed into a great elixir, hence the pseudonym It’s called the Great Pill of Dragon and Tiger.”

The young man didn't know how to make alchemy, so he just took a rough look at the literal meaning. Anyway, he had already converted to the Saint Jiang Fengzhen Ceremony, and was on the path to consecrating the Five Directions and Five Elements Gods and gathering the six kinds of innate Qi. In the future, he would probably not be able to practice alchemy. Dragon and Tiger have achieved great success.

Well, the red and black one-legged monster bird Great Dan is pretty much the same...

On the contrary, the saying "dragons roar in the clouds and tigers roar in the wind" reminded him inexplicably of Qing Ji's mention of "dragon bowls of rain and tiger beds of sad winds", and he didn't know what the Buddhist dragons and tigers were like. number?
As soon as the young man clarified the context of spiritual practice, a series of chapters after "Kanli Theory" suddenly began to shine.

Jingcongqi theory and meaning matchmaking theory, which focus on talking about mystical reasoning...Huandan theory, Shenshui Huachi theory, Baiqiao theory, which focus on hands-on skills... Even the "Preface to the Golden elixir diagram" that is ranked behind the general outline Divine Room Picture Theory" also suddenly lit up.

He flipped through it briefly and found that they were all related to the next step of the mind, that is, the cultivation of the divine form.

The young man felt happy in his heart, but he was not in a hurry to understand.

First of all, Deng Fuqing and Langya Jun both mentioned that the third level of spiritual practice involves the disaster of transformation, which is extremely dangerous for monks and should not be taken carelessly.

Secondly, the longevity history left him little time for retreat.

Thirdly, Master Dajiang gave Jiao Po Longmu three crazy sheep fruits, and the red fruits among them happened to help the monks survive the disaster of transformation, and if there was no accident, they should have fallen into Qian Xiaoren's hands.

"Oh, it's time to visit an old friend in Chaozhou! Qian Xiaoren has always been obsessed with buying mountain money from Linshan..."

"Speaking of which, the Qian family is isolated and helpless in the royal capital. The information is obviously not well-informed. It has been so many days and they haven't come to the door yet. However, they are far behind the Peng family's Shangqing boy Peng Yuanbao."

"Huh? Before I knew it, I had already seen a person from the three branches of the Da Peng family!"

With this thought in mind, the young man sat cross-legged with his mind in the center of the spiritual platform, constantly receiving the baptism of the six qi. Immediately, most of his mind escaped from his mind, and he slowly opened his eyes in the Zuowu Festival Hall.

Bannu, Li Shenxian and Wei Yingdian were still guarding the door, seemingly not even changing their postures. However, the warm early winter sun that originally hung in the south sky had already moved to the southwest, and was blocked by layers of winter clouds, making it look bright. Somewhat bleak.

The big black iron pot in the courtyard was empty, cleaner than one licked by a dog, and the makeshift stove below had long lost its flames.The changes in the atmosphere in the Zuowu Festival Hall immediately alerted the three people standing outside. Bannu snorted happily, Wei Yingdian stared at the young man thoughtfully, and Li Shenxian was obviously hesitant to speak.

Qi Jingzhi put away the crane-wing bone flute in his hand, stood up and looked at the Bazhou Tiger: "What's the matter?"

"When the adults were in seclusion, Tong Jiaohai's fellow once came over. He said that Geshu Baiqi Commander had heard about Zuo Yaoshi and Wei Sheqi, and was very...very interested. He had already rushed to Xiuling. The Tiger Cavalry camp has passed."

"Captain Wei Bai couldn't stop him, so he couldn't help but follow him."

Qi Jing was startled and looked at Li Shenxian with a deep look.

Because Shouba passed the Qi in advance, he was actually prepared for this matter. Geshu Dashi is the leader of the clan and has a strong and heroic temperament. He is obviously not a person willing to be inferior to others, otherwise he would not be willing to take the risk in the first place. Strange danger, swallowing a knife to fight ghosts.

But Qi Jingzhi didn't expect that before he could clarify the matter to Ge Shu Dashi, someone would overstep his authority and take the initiative to instigate him.

Needless to say, Tong Jiaohai, who took Geshu Dashi and Wei Bao to resettle, is the most suspect, and Li Shenxian is probably also involved. As for the actions they took privately to consolidate their position and eliminate their opponents, they secretly got Shouba's hand. The instructions are still unknown at the moment.

After Li Shenxian reported, he lowered his head slightly and lowered his eyes, avoiding the gaze of his captain, but he still stood upright.

Qi Jingzhi looked away and walked towards the door: "How long ago did this happen?"

"A moment ago! I should be able to catch up now!" Bazhou Tiger replied immediately.

Unexpectedly, the young captain shook his head and turned to Wei Yingdian: "Brother Wei, do you want to give it a try and see if you can climb the King Huan Terrace? Once you successfully reach the top, you can be promoted to captain on the spot."

Wei Yingdian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head firmly: "Wei has sworn to follow Taoist brother, how can he start a new business?"

Qi Jingzhi smiled casually: "Brother Wei, even if he is promoted to captain, he is still a member of our Zuowu Army, and the Zuowu Army can also become famous, which is beneficial to both you and me. Besides, Wei Brother, do you think Mr. Qi is one of those scoundrels who is jealous of talents and oppresses his subordinates?"

"Brother Taoist, you are joking! You and Wei have just met each other for the first time, and yet you generously give each other a gift based on our sect's righteousness. You can't describe it as being generous and heroic, sparing wealth but attaching importance to justice. You are truly a strange man in the world!"

Wei Yingdian was about to say more when he saw Qi Jingzhi waving his hands and saying: "Then let's go to the Huanwang Terrace together. Qi also wants to stop by and take a closer look at what the Huanwang Shougong on the platform looks like!"

Li Shenxian suddenly raised his head, his face twitching. He was really surprised, happy, respectful and frightened: "Your Excellency, are you sure?"

The history of longevity made it clear at the time that if you can enter the palace of longevity, you will be crowned the capital!

That was a high-ranking official starting from the fifth rank and reaching the third rank. He was qualified to assist in the general affairs of the Governor's Mansion, and to cooperate with Wen Gou and Chen Junji!
Once you are promoted to the capital, you will truly gain access to the palace in Gouchen Courtyard!
Qi Jingzhi slowly shook his head: "It's still far behind. I just wanted to know how far behind we are on this trip."

The next chapter of "Preface to the Theory of Golden Elixir Pictures" is titled "The Theory of Divine Chamber Pictures", which also rushes to the hall and into the room. The method created by Chao Emperor was initially just a nest house on a tree. When it evolved into a spiritual platform, the room above it naturally It will also change accordingly, but at this moment, the Ruo Mu Lingdai is still empty.

This further confirmed Qi Jingzhi's previous conjecture that this time he went to the stage to observe the temple, in fact, he was there to learn Buddhist scriptures.

So, the three of them and Bannu left the Zuowu Officer's Office together, and soon arrived at the King Huan's stage. Not many people were seen along the way. On the contrary, there was a lot of people in the direction of the Xiuling Tiger Cavalry camp.

Qi Jingzhi climbed the Huanwang Terrace alone, without encountering any resistance in the process.

Shouba was standing alone on the edge of the high platform, leaning on the railing with his hands behind his back and looking at it. Two cattail leaf fans with big ears were hanging limply on his shoulders.

When he heard the noise, he didn't move at all, and he didn't even turn his eyes away. He was far less approachable than when he was cooking meat at noon in front of everyone.

I heard the God of Longevity Palace ask in a calm tone: "Why are Captain Qi here?"

Qi Jingzhi walked over and stood side by side. He followed the other person's gaze and saw that Dean Shi of Gouchen was obviously watching what was happening on the other side of Pharmacist Zuo. He couldn't help but chuckle: "I just wanted to come over and take a look at this high platform." Are there any beasts to suppress such as the Five Heavenly Officials and the Five Beasts, and what kind of regulations are there in the Longevity Palace?"

In fact, these words are quite arrogant, and are even more offensive to Shouba, the God of Longevity Palace. Just like ordinary officials are not allowed to enter the Demon Suppressing Academy Huntiansi without an edict, the regulations of the king's palace are also not something ordinary people can explore. Not to mention the old palace of King Huan, which was guarded by palace gods.

Shouba didn't show any anger when he heard the words. Instead, he easily understood the young camp captain's intention, and suddenly there was a faint smile on his face: "Do you want to spy on the way of cultivation of King Huan and even the royal family of Jiang Qi?"

Qi Jingzhi smiled calmly: "The king set up the Gouchen Courtyard here, and the Grand Sima also set the rules for going on stage to confer officials. Isn't this just to encourage us people to keep a close watch?"

"Now that I think about it, when Duke Lu summoned me at the Gaohu altar, and taught me by words and deeds, he sealed the town with Saint Jiang. The great Sima ordered his brother Shu Dashi and Wei Bao to kill the demon and show his power. I'm afraid it wasn't just a whim."

"These senior masters have deep meaning in every move they make. The most rare thing is that even if they want to train us junior students to make progress, they do not condescend and push the bull's head. Instead, they turn into spring breeze and rain, moisturizing things silently. Not only does it not cause resentment, but it makes me Wait until you are convinced."

Hearing this, the smile on Shouba's face became brighter: "Haha, Da Sima once said that most capable people are just like donkeys. It is indeed a wise saying."

When he said this, his eyes were looking at the figure slowly climbing up the stone steps below.

Wei Yingdian did not rush and fly like Qi Jingzhi did before, but slowly climbed up the stairs step by step.

The obstacles he encountered were not invisible barriers, but strong winds that became stronger every few steps forward.

Amidst the increasingly loud howling wind, the former doctor of the Ministry of Etiquette's beard and hair were fluttering, his robes were lifted back, and even his face seemed to be rippled.

He seemed unaware, but pressed the handle of the knife with his hand, hunched his back and shrugged his shoulders as if he were carrying a heavy weight, and slowly stepped up against the wind. During this period, he lost his footing several times and was almost blown off the stone steps.

Fortunately, Wei Yingdian's mind was tough enough and his cultivation was profound enough. Although he stumbled along the way, he had no intention of stopping.

Even as he walked, his body began to show signs of blending into the strong wind that blocked the road. Everything he touched, his shoulders leaned on, his feet walked, and his knees gradually developed a strange rhythm, which was obvious. It was a bit more relaxed than when I first took the stage.

"How wonderful! The tiger and the leopard's colt are not yet written, but they have the spirit of eating cattle; the swan's wings are not fully fledged, but they have the heart of the four seas."

Dean Shi of Gouchen nodded approvingly: "Wei Yingdian, a bird of prey with a golden burden, has just begun to control the wind, but it has the charm of a cook and a ox. How far it can go in the future is really exciting for Shou."
