The world of Taoism

Chapter 193 The Logic of Immortal Cable (Two in One)

"Water God of the Yangtze River?" Zhou Xuan repeated this sentence.

"That's right, the water god of the Yangtze River. The god in charge of the Yangtze River." Liu Qi said.

"So that's the case, what does that have to do with the water god of the Yangtze River?" Zhou Xuan asked doubtfully.

He remembered what the water ghost in the Yangtze River said.

It seems that there is also something called the Yangtze River Water God, but that is all fake.

There is no so-called water god of the Yangtze River at all, at least not in Yangzhou.

"The Yangtze River Water God is honored by our Chunjiang Prince's Mansion, and the Spring River Palace inherits part of the Yangtze River Water God's ability," Liu Qi said mysteriously.

"How do you say it?" Zhou Xuan pretended to be surprised.

"This little doll is lying." The old ghost said, crossing his arms.

The old ghost has the ability to read people's hearts, and he can tell that Liu Qi is lying at a glance.

"The Spring River Palace is responsible for cleaning up the demons and ghosts in the waters around the Yangtze River. We need your participation. Similarly, the Spring River Palace will also give you a certain reward."

Liu Qi clearly stated the purpose.

"There are many monsters along the Yangtze River. Our palace alone is not enough to resist so many monsters, so we need the help of people with lofty ideals like Your Excellency."

"Moreover, there are many forces that have taken refuge in monsters. The reason why I was attacked at that time was because someone leaked my whereabouts to those forces."

Ordinary cultivation families would never be as enthusiastic as Zhou Xuan, killing demons and demons all day long.

Most cultivators have nothing to do with themselves and hang on high.

Perhaps it is possible to move out of righteousness and allow Zhou Xuan to join them.

This is also the only way Liu Qi can think of to get Zhou Xuan to join.

After all, Zhou Xuan is not an enemy, and it won't work to catch Zhou Xuan in the same way as others, or in a threatening way.

The move could backfire.

"So that's the case." Zhou Xuan fell into deep thought.

"So, you agreed?" Liu Qi's face was very close, and she could even feel a warm breath on Zhou Xuan's neck.

The fragrance lingers on the tip of the nose, and the scene is a bit ambiguous.

As long as he is a normal man, he will be tempted by the current scene.

There was no "exception" for Zhou Xuan, and he fell silent.

Liu Qi was overjoyed, and struck while the iron was hot: "You don't have much chance of promotion in Jingtian Division, but we can let you be your own leader here."

"That's very good." Zhou Xuan said with a smile.

Before Liu Qi finished speaking, Zhou Xuan showed a smile and said, "It's a pity that I don't want to."

"why?"

"I like freedom, that's all."

Zhou Xuan shrugged and said, "Besides, I'm not a Lengtouqing with a sense of justice, so what you say won't do anything to me."

"Also, tell the guys hiding outside to be quiet. I don't know what tricks you are going to do, but it's best not to do it in my house."

Liu Qi's face turned pale, and she seemed a little embarrassed.

Originally thought that a young man in his early 20s like Zhou Xuan would be easy to fool.

Originally, he wanted his subordinates to pretend to be monsters who assassinated him, so as to gain sympathy.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xuan didn't accept this at all, but easily saw through his inner thoughts.

"Go back, it's fine to be a guest in the future, but don't talk about these things." Zhou Xuan waved his hand.

The purpose of cultivating spells by myself is to settle down in this world, and what I want is freedom.

The reason why I joined Jing Tiansi is because this organization is very free and does not need to be controlled by others.

Joining the Spring River Prince's Mansion will be different. The rights may be greater, but to a certain extent, freedom will also be lost.

There are still a few masters on the top of the head, it will be bad if the secret of the information panel is discovered.

After everyone chatted for a while, Liu Qi left with an excuse.

Before leaving, Zhou Xuan was invited to attend the Yangzhou Temple Fair. Zhou Xuan didn't agree immediately, but said that it would depend on the time.

"This female doll has impure motives," said the old ghost.

"I know that." Zhou Xuan nodded.

The urination of rich and noble families is like this, no matter what, they must be in control.

They were quite sensible, and they didn't provoke themselves too much.

Otherwise, Zhou Xuan had to show his strength.

"You can stay with me from now on, and take a look at the door by the way, no, it's the Dharma protector... hehe." Zhou Xuan laughed.

.........

In the quiet room, Zhou Xuan sat cross-legged and opened the information panel in his mind.

Now that you have decided to make a breakthrough, then push the inheritance of the society to the next stage.

Zhou Xuan opened the information panel in his mind.

Name: Zhou Xuan

Spell:

Five Thunder Rectification* First Class (thunder, range [-] meters)
Five Thunder Rectification*Lightning Strike*[-]: Visualize the thunder map, imagine the energy of the internal organs, flow into the eyes along the dantian, and the true meaning of thunder and lightning comes out from the eyes.

Golden Thunder and Jade Rat Method* 100st class (mouse repelling, range [-] meters, relying on tracking enemies, water arrows. Six feet, claws one foot.)
Golden Thunder Jade Rat Method* Black Killer* Five...

The esoteric training of corpses is really the best.

Esoteric practice of corpses really requires *removing corpses* 50 (removing corpses, the range is [-] meters.) …………

Spirituality: [-]

deduction
First-class spells require [-] points of spirituality, and second-class spells require [-] points of spirituality.

The two spells of Leifa and Chinchilla need to be deduced to the later stage, and the exorcism technique is not needed for the time being.

Now that the body has been buried in the place of gathering yin, I don't know if it will succeed, so I should focus on the other two.

Zhou Xuan focused on
"Do you want to spend one hundred points to deduce the first class of the five thunders?..."

Zhou Xuan clicked OK.

There are still a few days before the deduction is successful, and this time can just be used to practice other spells.

Zhou Xuan took out a yellowed booklet with three large characters written on it: "Shen Xian Suo".

Immortal rope, also known as the technique of climbing rope and riding clouds, is the gateway to the fairyland, and those who get it must practice sincerely in order to obtain the law.

The principle of Shenxiansuo is to connect the heavenly palace with a rope, and then go to the place you want through the heavenly palace.

Of course, after reading the spell introduction, Zhou Xuan felt that this was just bragging.

According to the principle of the spell, two eight-foot-long hemp ropes need to be prepared.

There is no limit to the type of hemp rope, and it should be soaked in amulet water for three hours.

Immortal Suoyun: At midnight on the next day, take the soil from the four directions of Chen, Xu, Chou, and Wei, put it in a jade vessel, and offer it on the case. At night, when you are ugly, kneel in front of the case, facing the northeast, and calm down.

Recite the mantra 49 times, prepare a table for the Eight Immortals, put cinnabar, yellow paper, pens and inkstones on the table, face the North Book and hang a talisman, blow the Big Dipper Qi on it, and the third drop of heart blood.

This method can be successful.

The rope thus tempered has incredible abilities.

But the principle is not as magical as imagined.

Only the role of fixed-point transmission.

There are two ropes in total, and the rope is buried in one place, and the other rope is carried on the body.

When you want to go to any place, you only need to throw the rope into the sky to reach the place where the rope is buried.

"That's not bad." Zhou Xuan said.

The distance is about 20 kilometers, as long as it does not exceed this range, the spell can take effect.

And what Zhou Xuan cared more about was not this.

This is not a spell, but a magic weapon.

In other words, there is no need to occupy the position of inheritance, and Zhou Xuan does not need to learn more spells because of this.

In the following time, Zhou Xuan made the talisman water while collecting the materials for refining the Immortal Cable.

The refining of the Immortal Cable is very demanding, and the difficulty lies in the process of chanting the mantra.

Chanting a mantra requires a certain intonation and melody.

The melody has been recorded in the booklet, and the next thing to practice is to use the melody proficiently.

It's like practicing singing.

After collecting all the materials, Zhou Xuan put the rope in the basin, which was filled with golden talisman water.

After putting it into the water, Zhou Xuan recited the mantra.

"Qianyuan Beidou, the divine power of the universe, spreading clouds and enveloping energy, invincible to all evil, surpassing me to become a fairy, saving my golden body, using the rope of a fairy, stepping on the clouds to ascend to heaven."

Three days passed, during which I failed seven or eight times.

It was almost midnight at this time.

In front of Zhou Xuan was a Table of Eight Immortals, and on the Table of Eight Immortals was a crystal clear container with two dark gray ropes inside.

It's about two feet long, the thickness of a thumb, and the ends are dark red, as if blood has clotted on it.

Zhou Xuan grabbed the rope, went to the backyard, and buried the rope at the other end.

The old ghost was floating in the air, and no one else could see it except Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan stood by the lake, closed his eyes tightly, sensing something in the dark.

"Interesting!" The old ghost looked at Zhou Xuan with interest.

"Qianyuan Beidou, the divine power of the universe, spreading clouds and enveloping energy, invincible to all evil, surpassing me to become a fairy, saving my golden body, using the rope of a fairy, stepping on the clouds to ascend to heaven."

Zhou Xuan recited the incantation, and then put his hands together.

Wisps of mist drifted out from his hand, forming a small white cloud.

"rise!"

Zhou Xuan spread out his palms, and the white clouds slowly rose and grew long against the wind.

Whoa!

A white cloud floated in the sky more than ten feet away.

At the same time, a rope flew out of Zhou Xuan's sleeve.

It even extended into the white clouds, with the lower end hanging in front of Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan kicked hard, grabbed the rope directly, twisted his hips and exerted force, spanning a distance of more than ten meters in an instant, and then reached the top.

boom!
Zhou Xuan just wanted to get into the white clouds, but found that his head seemed to hit the glass, as if there was an invisible wall blocking him from entering the white clouds.

Bang bang bang!
Zhou Xuan tried several times, but every time he bumped into the transparent wall, he still couldn't enter the white cloud.

He stopped alone in the air, blowing the cold wind, looking a little embarrassed.

At this time, the old ghost floated up like a fallen leaf, lurking beside Zhou Xuan.

"What's going on here? I've clearly refined the magic weapon, so the steps are correct?" Zhou Xuan turned his head and asked.

"This spell should be the legendary Immortal Cable. I didn't expect you to know this spell. From my experience, the steps should be correct." The old ghost said.

"Then why can't you go in?" Zhou Xuan was puzzled.

In fact, he also felt that his cultivation was correct, and the spell was indeed successful, but in the end he got stuck at this step.

"Because you don't believe it in your heart."

The old ghost saw through it at a glance: "The logical premise of some spells is to believe in your heart. If you don't believe it from the bottom of your heart, if you don't believe that there is a heavenly palace in the sky, of course you will not enter the heavenly palace."

"Need to believe in your heart?"

"Of course." The old ghost looked Zhou Xuan up and down, "I think you are very strange, you are the strangest person I have ever seen."

That's how Zhou Xuan felt to the old ghost when they met for the first time.

Ordinary people look at this world with a kind of respect.

Especially for some mysterious things, they are often attributed to the mysterious heaven, so they can be easily accepted.

All in all, no matter how unbelievable things you see, you can attribute them to God, and then accept them smoothly without going deep into them.

But Zhou Xuan viewed the world differently from others.

There is always a spirit of skepticism, that is, to find logic in something.

I don't really believe in so-called metaphysics about illusory things.

all in all.

Others are more superstitious, but Zhou Xuan is not superstitious.

"Is this really the case?" Zhou Xuan was surprised.

Perhaps it is because I have received a materialistic education since I was a child.

From Zhou Xuan's point of view, this world is not unknowable, it's just that his current strength is relatively weak, so he doesn't know it.

"Of course." The old ghost smiled wryly.

In the eyes of others, the old ghost is already considered a figure of immortal level.

But the old ghost knew that in Zhou Xuan's eyes, he might just be a powerful existence, not a so-called god.

"So if you want to succeed in the spell, you must believe in your heart, and believe that there really is a heavenly palace."

"As long as you believe in your heart, the Heavenly Palace will exist."

Zhou Xuan closed his eyes and forced himself to believe that there really was a Heavenly Palace.

I believe that through my little magic, I can go to the legendary "Heavenly Palace".

It's nonsense, but you have to force yourself to believe it.

Zhou Xuan probably understood, anyway, he just wanted to be more idealistic.

It's like "putting the elephant in the refrigerator", there are only three steps, open the door, enlarge the elephant, and close the door.

You don't have to think about other details.

In the same way, the same is true for the Immortal Cable, two steps: up and down.

Don't worry about it, don't doubt it.

Whoa!

Suddenly there was a gust of wind, the cold wind was like a knife, and the cheeks were painful.

Zhou Xuan hastily clenched the yellow charm in his hand.

This is a white palace, the walls are as soft as cotton.

This is the legendary "Tiangong"

If Tiangong is like this, then being a god is simply suffering.

Zhou Xuan slipped down the rope.

...

thump!
Boots on the marble floor.

This is a magnificent palace paved with marble, with white walls and black tiles.

The interior is extremely wide and empty, covering a large area, but without much furniture.

Through the gate, one could faintly see the sun parallel to the ground, and the golden sunlight sprinkled into the palace, illuminating the palace in a golden and green splendor.

Standing outside the palace, Zhou Xuan could see all the surrounding mountains.

After three months, the road was finally repaired and a palace was roughly built.

The surrounding area is an open space, with stones piled up like a mountain, but there is no one there.

Zhou Xuan gave them all a holiday during this period, leaving only Zhou Yi and others to block the way up the mountain.

Zhou Xuan wants to retreat on this mountain, and will never come out until he breaks through to the bardo stage.

All the dangers on the top of the mountain have been swept away. Even if there is an emergency, Zhou Xuan can return to Zhou's house with the help of the Immortal Cable, without worrying about being disturbed by others.

While Zhou Xuan was retreating.

Xiaoshan Village, on the mountain.

"Hey, the weather is bad, it's probably going to rain, why don't we go back first."

A herbal picker with a basket on his back said to several companions around him.

"Look for it first, and go back if you don't find anything."

"Hey, there's light over there."

Following the eyes of his companions, he saw a little red light flashing through the cracks in the rocks beside him.

"What? Is it a baby?"

People are curious and step forward
"Ghost!!"

Boom!

The sky was cloudy and it was pouring rain.
