The Heavens: A Qing, the Yue Girl at the beginning

The night was hazy, the stars and the moon were faintly visible, in the middle of an empty quiet room, although Zhao Qing was sitting there, but there was a feeling of lightness, confusion, and trance, as if covered by a thin layer. shrouded in fog.

"Unexpectedly, the relationship between Guang Chengzi and Rong Chengzi is similar to the relationship between master and apprentice. Except for the chapter in the beginning of "Longevity Jue" that outlines the natural way of longevity, the latter is a dialogue that records the exchange of spiritual essence between the two people. "Huangdi Neijing" and other books have roughly the same format."

Recalling the contents of the book after translating the "Secret of Longevity", she couldn't help but feel emotional, knowing many secrets buried in ancient times, as well as the organizational form of Taoism at the beginning.

According to some fairy tales, Guang Chengzi and Rong Chengzi were both monks on Mount Kongtong, and they both taught the practice of the Yellow Emperor's Taoism. The former is [-] years old, and the latter is more than [-] years old. They seem to be quite similar , living on the same mountain must have some connection.

From the dialogue in "The Secret of Longevity", it can be known that Guangchengzi was originally near the Kongtong Mountain where the Rongcheng tribe was located. He was a peerless master who was passed down from generation to generation to cultivate the Tao. to visit his residence.

Among them, Rong Chengzi, as the patriarch of the tribe at that time, resolutely gave up his power and was taught the "immortal law". At the same time as the secret method, Huang Di, who is extremely talented, was introduced to Guang Chengzi.

At present, among the many ancient monks, Guang Chengzi should be the highest in cultivation and seniority, and Rong Chengzi, Ning Fengzi, Zhonghuangzi, Qi Bo, Chi Jiangzi, etc. were even later in the Yellow Emperor period. Those who have become immortals are not at the same level, and those who are later than him have basically been taught by Guang Chengzi.

Although these histories sound useless, considering that the main world generally maintains a normal historical trend, and may have a similar past, knowing more about the relationship between ancient immortals than others, it may be able to play a role in the future. it works.

"Heaven and earth have permanence, and harmony produces it. Things have a beginning, and their nature is born. The nature is in the sky, and the quality is in the earth. Therefore, there are traces when going, and transformation and birth when coming. The atmosphere is natural, and the light of the sky shows the transformation .”

"Use under the light of the sky, and respond to the earth's qi. Turn things into two, and produce qi to reach the sky. What is it? The weather is one, and you give it to yourself. Those who live together are angry about it. The Qi of heaven and earth are all the same, but they should be different. Those who are different, the Qi is thin and thick.”

The "Longevity Jue" co-authored by Guang Chengzi and Rong Chengzi divides "灮" and "Qi" into two different things. The former is "excited from nothing" and the latter is "born from existence", which belong to the same level of existence , the two can exchange energy with each other through the 'change of shape and quality'.

Absorbing and refining the "Heavenly Light" and "Earth Qi" to produce "灮炁", and "preparing all things to attach to Yin, and absorbing all Qi to harmonize Yang", can eliminate the long-term transformation of capital, reverse Yin and Yang, and start to enter the world. Glimpse at the Tao's 'Longevity' field for the first time, and cultivate longevity.

Even if you don't practice the Yuanshen additionally, you can live to the age of 240. Those who understand more deeply, if they have practiced the Yuanshen, the method is based on Yin and Yang, and the number of spells. Live a regular life, don't work rashly, have both body and spirit, and can reach 480 years old.

This lifespan is already close to the level of the six qi realms of the main world, but it is only what Zhao Qing has basically comprehended when he observed the last seven meridian diagrams, and has not yet touched the higher-level application of "灮炁", but it can surpass Shenjin The life limit of more than half of the [-] years really surprised her.

According to her understanding, Xiaoyaozi's method of prolonging life at the beginning was to let the qi in the body bear the price of time and liberate the body, while Guangchengzi's method was to further replace the original qi with special "灮炁" As a result, under the combined force of heaven and earth, the lifespan has broken through to a new level.

And this has reached a lifespan of about 500 years. In Zhao Qing's view, it should be regarded as the limit of time that the soul of the current realm can sustain. If it is to break through again, it may not be a problem that can be solved by working hard on physical activity.

In fact, as far as she knows, if the existence of the soul is not considered, many trees can live for thousands of years without dying, and various animals in the class of hydrozoans such as lighthouse jellyfish can restart life, and deep-sea bacteria can remain undivided state, and the lifespan can even exceed the order of hundreds of millions of years.

If it is simply to overcome the telomere damage during cell division, the rebirth of the third stage of Gang Jin may have a weak potential to evolve into a new species with a physical life span of more than 500 years, and even reach a state of immortality in the body, not to mention It is said that higher realms exist.

The human soul will irreversibly and spontaneously decompose and dissipate after a certain period of time. This is the law between heaven and earth. It is difficult to find other ways to counteract this strange and unknowable method except for the orthodox way of cultivation and realm breakthrough. The strength can only be compensated by some lateral means.

Like the "death pass" method created by Di Ni in the last chapter of "Cihang Sword Code", the probability of forcibly breaking through from Zhiyin Wuji to Shuangwuji is extremely low, and a narrow escape is almost an element of gambling luck. No one has cultivated into Shattered Void with this method.

Therefore, Dini cautiously referred to the Buddhist method, and integrated the mystery of reincarnation into the death pass, trying to break through the soul after death after failure, and was locked in the indestructible body of the diamond, so that he would no longer escape into the normal reincarnation The mechanism may have a chance to reunite naturally and be resurrected in situ.

In Zhao Qing's view today, although the level of "Cihang Sword Code" is not very good, Dini has indeed failed to break through, and there is no sign of resurrection so far, but this kind of "death pass" is similar to the rebirth of the lighthouse jellyfish. The idea is really ingenious, which gave her a lot of inspiration.

After gaining inspiration from the characteristics of "灮炁", Guang Chengzi also thought deeply, why is it more able to withstand the passage of time than ordinary Qi?

With this question in mind, he spent a hundred years conducting various experiments on it, and finally discovered the characteristics of "灮", and deduced that "灮" determines the color of all things and the ability to flow with time:

"The sun turns into light, and turns things into salty; salty makes things floating, and flows out of nothingness. Therefore, the quality, the day turns into essence; the thing, turns into spirit."

"Light, the sun, is an omen; omen, form, its meeting; form, matter, its flow. The flow of tens of billions is color, and the color and light reflect objects as omens, omens, the condensation of qi, meeting, The transformation also."

Since "灮" has characteristics related to time, if you want to further prolong life and pursue the Tao, you can try to use some means to obtain part of "灮"'s ability, and maybe you can control the power of time.

In a coincidence, when he entered the Temple of War God, Guang Chengzi finally realized the secret method of absorbing the characteristics of "灮炁", using the method of driving the core of the primordial spirit to spin at a high speed through the "灮炁", making it gradually move towards the "灮" The direction transformation, that is, the spin approaching the speed of light, because of the relativity effect, prolongs the life span in the eyes of outsiders.

Only one year has passed from my own point of view, and the outside world has changed. Thousands of years have passed, and the "theoretical lifespan" has grown unimaginably huge. The consciousness carried by the core of the soul can last thousands of years. Immortal and immortal for thousands of years, with the same light as the sun and the moon, and the same longevity as the heaven and the earth.

"The Dao is not full, and the light is the same as the dust", which has become a real reality under the "Huanghua" of the primordial spirit.

It has to be said that Guang Chengzi's method of prolonging life and longevity looks quite outrageous on the surface. Once the Yin-Yang, Five Elements, and Seven Types of "Qi" are completed, and they successfully enter the stage of "Zhen Hua" of the Yuanshen, the limit of lifespan can at least be reached. The improvement is thousands of times, which is not at the same level as compared with the growth of only a few percent in each breakthrough in the previous stage of practice.

But looking at this skill from a subjective perspective, it still seems to be a normal lifespan, but compared to other people, living an extremely long life undoubtedly seems a bit tasteless.

However, in a sense, time is a subjective experience. The experience of time by different people and at different moments is not absolutely consistent. It has a strong correlation with the state of consciousness. related to the sense of time included in the "ego";
Therefore, although it is extremely complicated to understand, as long as one fully grasps the state of consciousness and speeds up one's perception of the passage of time subjectively, it can also make up for this problem to a certain extent, and no longer feel that the flow of time in the world is different from that of others. order of magnitude difference.

In addition, high-level qi itself has characteristics similar to light, and actually has the effect of speeding up the speed of consciousness. Under normal circumstances, the thinking speed is one level higher than that of fellow practitioners. It has been weakened, but it is actually not bad.

All in all, although it is impossible to maintain the thinking speed far beyond ordinary people after the consciousness is slowed down in this state, it is still possible to look normal activities and thinking in the eyes of others, rather than an unresponsive zombie .

Compared with the incomparable life-prolonging effect of the "Longevity Formula", its negative effects are nothing.

The reason why Zhao Qing felt that the ability of the "Longevity Art" to prolong life was a little weak was mainly because she was quite young now, and she didn't value immortality very much. matter;
On the contrary, the passive effect of the "Longevity Secret" to slow down the operation of thinking will inevitably affect her comprehension ability under normal conditions. Although it can be compensated by moving the calculation power to the part other than the soul, it is better to close it casually For decades, this is not in her consideration for the time being.

What really touched Zhao Qing was undoubtedly the other abilities that can be derived from the short-lived "rebirth" of the Yuanshen, that is, the impact of the speeding up of external time from the subjective perspective, and the theory of this state, or It is permitted to let the outside world interfere with the space outside the primordial spirit.

After repeated deduction, after a thorough understanding of the full text of "The Jue of Longevity", Zhao Qing, with a rigorous attitude that there will always be some differences if he does not experience it personally, kept his mind in his soul in a quiet room, and gradually began to absorb and refine "灮" Qi" is a process for its own use, imposing a stable spin angular acceleration on the primordial spirit.

Since the sub-light speed is not in the same order of magnitude as the low speed in the general environment, even though her primordial spirit has reached the level of Shenman Void Fazhou Sand Realm, her innate infinity and invisible emptiness is so light that it is unbearable. , and with the help of the dark energy effect and the continuous high-level energy supply of the magic weapon, it still took several days to enter the level of "destruction".

After preliminary calculations and comparing the swinging speed of the pendulum in the quiet room, Zhao Qing confirmed that the current time of his Yuanshen should be inflated by more than 3 times, and immediately adjusted the mana consciousness to adapt to the abnormal sense of time, and at the same time began to try as usual Take control of your body.

For some reason, it has something in common with microscopic particles. The spin of the primordial spirit seems to be an intrinsic attribute, and it didn't make Zhao Qing dizzy. On the surface, it was only the core part that fell into a chaotic and illusory state, which did not affect her. Put the spirit out to explore the effect of induction.

In this state, the theoretically long lifespan of tens of millions of years gave her a very special feeling, as if time had lost its value and meaning, and then this negative thought was immediately eliminated by her, and she returned to an absolutely clear state. Detachment state of mind.

From Zhao Qing's point of view, his body other than Yuanshen and the entire quiet room have a strange space distortion that is very different from before. Everything becomes narrow and bright, and the original indoor lights have a significant blue shift. The effect directly reaches the X-ray band, possessing astonishing lethality.

Turning my gaze to the outside of the window, I saw that the environment at night was no longer the normal darkness, but was full of ultraviolet light converted from infrared light, illuminating most of the sky extraordinarily brightly;
And because the speed of light of different frequencies in the air medium is different, and has reached the level that she can perceive, the whole world presents an indescribable chaotic scene, the various colors of objects are separated, reversed and distorted, and need to Extremely complicated calculations can be restored in the mind.

In the direction of the star dome at a higher place, the dark red void reveals a vast blankness, like eyelids without pupils on a stone sculpture. Although it is dotted with thousands of dazzling bright stars, in the universe that has partially entered the visible light band Under the background radiation, it shows an indescribable sense of monotony and alienation.

The seemingly indistinguishable twilight images are the glowing embers of the ancient universe. There are subtle differences between each area, and the size of light and dark is different, but they are connected into an inseparable piece in the flow of time and space. The whole is both independent and interrelated.

Inexplicably reminiscent of the similar experience of observing the strange images in the world in the void, Zhao Qing was thoughtful, and gradually adapted to the time when the external environment was "accelerated" by tens of thousands of times, and the changes in the frequency of the energy they released blue shift.

At the same time, she also noticed that although Guang Chengzi did not write it down in "The Secret of Longevity", in the state of "Zhenhua", it should be able to increase the power of Qi through the blue shift effect, and convert ordinary visible light into X-rays and even y The energy level of the ray.

Originally, the longevity formula, which was mainly used to maintain health by manipulating the seven-color light energy, can immediately be transformed into a destructive killing secret technique, which is so powerful that it is difficult to be resisted.

Of course, although subjectively, the power of such moves seems to have been greatly improved, but from an objective perspective, the speed of energy accumulation has not changed, and the output power is exactly the same, only a means of photon energy level jump is added.

Speculating that the time energy field in Yuanshen might be able to take effect externally, Zhao Qinghua spent half an hour constructing a layered "Qihua" change, and then projected the outermost thin layer of energy field separately, throwing it at the A lead glass jar placed on a table in the room.

Inside this half-gray jar, a mosquito that was lucky enough to survive until the end of autumn and was specially locked up by her was flapping its wings and "buzzing", constantly looking for a way out;
The bottom of the tank, which is specially separated under the mosquito, is coated with a layer of fluorescent coating. The reason why it keeps shining is because Zhao Qing filled the compartment with some radioactive tritium gas.

If the sub-light speed Qi field separated from the Yuanshen really has the ability to interfere with the external time, when she shatters the glass partition, the radioactivity of the tritium gas will be significantly weakened due to the longer half-life, and the mosquitoes can also be lucky. survive longer.
