The heavens start with Buddhist disciples

Chapter 149 Traveling through the ages

Meng Bingyun was also surprised when she heard this. She thought that Hong Xuanji was just a master of marrow training, but she never thought that Hong Xuanji had already taken that step.

Meng Bingyun looked at Ji Ran and said, "Don't think that Hong Xuanji's half-step Martial Saint Realm is very weak. Nowadays, the talents in the cultivation world are withered, which is far worse than in ancient times. The strength of the eight great demons who rule the world may not be half as strong as it is now. Bu Wu Sheng’s Marquis is amazing!”

Ji Ran sighed: "In ancient times, the Changsheng Emperor and his disciples, who were also the first Nine-Nine Holy Emperors, were so high-spirited. Their souls were Yang Shen masters, and their bodies were human immortals who shattered the vacuum."

"The Great Emperor of Immortality is known as the Master of Ten Thousand Immortals, the person closest to the other side. He is also the target that countless comers are chasing after and surpassing."

Speaking of the master-disciple pair of Emperor Changsheng and Emperor Pan, we have to mention that extremely glorious ancient era.In ancient times, the pair of masters and disciples, the Changsheng Emperor and Panhuang, led many eternal giants, such as:

The founder of the Tao of Creation, the Taoist of Creation.

The first of the six holy places, the holy place of the Daqian Dynasty, the founder of Taishangdao, Taishang.

One of the six holy places, a thousand-year-old temple, the ancestral court of Zen Buddhism, the founder of the Great Zen Temple, Yuan.

One of the six holy places, the birthplace of Dark Secret Art, and the founder of Dark Xuantian Pavilion, Xuan.

Dozens of outstanding individuals have stood together in the world for thousands of years.

It was also from Panhuang that a long era of Holy Emperors began in this world.And the Holy Emperors of the past dynasties were all existences with Yang Shen cultivation.When it comes to Yang Shen’s cultivation, we need to talk about the Taoism of this world, which is the cultivation level of the soul.

The Taoist practice in the world of "Yang Shen" starts with "calming the mind", which means to stabilize the mind, to be calm, to be less disturbed by external objects, to stop distracting thoughts, and to sense the location of one's own sea of ​​consciousness.This step is similar to what Buddhism calls meditation and what Zhuangzi calls mental fasting.

After "calming the mind", special methods can be used to complete the "coming out" of the soul.At this stage, the practitioner can cause the soul to leave the body and move around the body. "Calming the mind" and "coming out of the shell" also correspond to one-star cultivation.

After the soul leaves the body, it cannot be exposed to sunlight and moonlight for a long time. Otherwise, the soul will be seriously injured in the least case, and the soul will fly away in the worst case.

Therefore, further practice is needed to reach the point of "night wandering". At this point, the practitioner can roam freely in the dark night, fly slowly two or three feet above the ground, and can also use some illusions.Such as ghosts hitting the wall and so on.This realm begins to correspond to the early stage of two-star cultivation.

With the "Night Tour" logistics and practice, one can reach "Day Tour", but the pure yang of the sun for hundreds of days can easily burn such gloomy things as the soul.Therefore, practitioners can first wander around on cloudy days without sunshine, and gradually adapt to the harmonious atmosphere of the sun, and then go out of the body to wander in the morning and sunset when the sunshine is relatively mild.

In the end, it is necessary for the cultivator to be able to wander freely under the scorching sun at noon without being harmed, so that the "day tour" can be considered a great achievement.At this time, because of the powerful mind and soul, the cultivators naturally have the ability to never forget, and can even simply affect real things.

After the "Day Tour", the cultivator's soul further solidified, changing from briefly interfering with reality to being able to directly drive objects. At this time, the cultivation level also moved from the "Day Tour" to the "Object Expelling" state.The soul at this time has another name in Taoism, Yin Shen.

After becoming a Yin Shen, the soul gradually becomes substantial, somewhere between reality and reality.It can use an object with half the body's strength to perform physical attacks at half the speed of the body.If a cultivator can cultivate to the level of separation of spirit and body, then he can separate his soul from the body without resorting to special visualization methods.

In the world of Yangshen, among a thousand practitioners of Taoism, there may not be a single master of "repelling objects".Yinshen's drive has also reached the peak of two-star cultivation.

After the Yin God is further consolidated, the practitioner can use the Yin God to manifest in the world. This state is also called "manifestation". The spiritual soul of the "Appearing" cultivator can condense the energy of heaven and earth, and the changes are endless.

If there is a secret treasure record passed down, you can even manifest a special form with the help of external objects. For example, in the "Past Amitabha Sutra", there is a "manifestation" that can trigger the power of the moonlight to achieve the treasure moonlight king body after the initial formation, and the "manifestation" final form. Afterwards, it can be condensed with the help of sunlight into the body of the precious Sunlight King.The Sun Moonlight King Body has its own unique effects.

"Appearing" cultivators have already entered the threshold of three-star cultivation, but if they want to achieve three-star cultivation, they need to reach the next level of "possession".

The cultivator cannot possess the person at will, and "possession" is not "seizing the body". It only allows the cultivator to borrow the other person's body sensation and collect information, and use his own powerful soul to forcibly subdue the soul of the possessed person, achieving the goal of An effect similar to sleepwalking.

If the possessed object has strong Qi and blood, a strong soul or a strong will.The cultivator went to possess the body, and he was simply seeking his own death.When one reaches the completion of cultivation in the "possessed" realm, the soul will be ten times more powerful and solid than in the "manifest" realm.

What was once a single thought, that is, one thought, will be divided into three hundred in this state, and any one thought has the power to drive away the objects before.

It was also at this time that the power of Taoism truly manifested itself.The cultivator has endless Taoist teachings at the moment of his thoughts. He can control the wind and rain without leaving his body.However, if a cultivator in this state sits silently, his spiritual thoughts will spread all around his body. Within a radius of tens of feet, every fiber of vegetation, trees, bamboos and rocks will appear.Those who are not strong in cultivation will have their souls dissipated and die in an instant.

At this point, the cultivation level of the soul has also reached the three-star peak.

The four-star soul cultivation level is similar to martial arts, both are levels of transforming mortals into immortals.

Martial arts requires one to understand one's own way and to walk on it unswervingly.Soul cultivation requires breaking through the calamity of life and death and breaking the barrier between life and death.At this point, it can be said that the cultivator has the capital to live forever.If the physical body is broken and decayed, the cultivator can leave the body and be reincarnated.

It's just like what ordinary people call taking over the body, or rebirth through rebirth, resurrecting the soul through the corpse.From this moment on, what the cultivators practice is no longer an extraordinary way, but an immortal way.The next practice is also unique to the world of Yangshen, which is to overcome the thunder tribulation.

Each of the nine thunder tribulations had a strange effect. Now Ji Ran has been practicing the "Past Amitabha Sutra" for a year and condensing her powerful soul, and she has survived six thunder tribulations in one breath.When you reach this state, you can use the power of thunder to completely integrate the power of the stars, comprehend the space of heaven and earth, and develop spirituality with your true energy.

The soul can tear apart space, covering thousands of miles in an instant.At this time, the realm of the soul is the mid-five-star cultivation level.

Once you survive the nine thunder tribulations, you can reach the next realm, which is also the highest realm reached by cultivators in this realm, Yangshen.

The soul cultivation level corresponding to the Yang God has reached six stars, and in ancient times it was called the Great Emperor or the Holy Emperor.In the Middle Ages, they were called Zhuzi.

In modern times, Meng Shenji, the leader of the Taishang Dao clan with the strongest cultivation in the world, only had the cultivation level of seven thunder tribulations, and no one had yet achieved Yangshen.

But Ji Ran looked at Hong Xuanji and sighed helplessly: "I never thought that a mere half-step martial arts saint would already be proud of the world and no longer regard ordinary people as human beings."

Hong Xuanji glanced at Ji Ran and said disdainfully: "The people do not fight with the officials. For the sake of Miss Bingyun, I won't argue with you. But if you insult the current majesty, the account will always be settled."

Ji Ran looked at Meng Bingyun and then at Hong Xuanji, and said softly: "It is said that Wu Wenhou Hong Xuanji was born in a small sect called Daluo sect in Nanzhou, and the leader of Daluo sect seems to be named Zhao. And Sect Leader Zhao seems to have two daughters. I wonder if Marquis Wu Wen knows these two women named Zhao?"

When Hong Xuanji heard this, the murderous look reappeared on his face, but he still suppressed the murderous intention in his heart and said coldly: "Ji, you are lucky today, Fairy Bingyun will intercede for you!"

After saying that, he waved his sleeves and turned to leave.He was afraid that if he stayed here any longer, Ji Ran would tell more secrets, which would eventually affect his pursuit of Meng Bingyun, although Emperor Qian wanted to test out the power behind Ji Ran.But Hong Xuanji wanted to kill two birds with one stone. He could not only find out Ji Ran's true identity, but also win the favor of the beauty.

Kemeng Bingyun's appearance had already disrupted Hong Xuanji's plan, plus Ji Ran's revelation.If I stay any longer, I'm afraid I'll lose my wife and lose my troops.

After Hong Xuanji left, Ji Ran nodded to Meng Bingyun and said, "It's time to trouble Miss Meng."

Meng Bingyun covered her mouth and chuckled: "Everyone else calls me fairy, but only my husband calls me girl. It seems that my cultivation is far better than others!"

Ji Ran chuckled and said: "As a saint of the Supreme Way, when has Miss Meng ever cared about others? To the girl, they are nothing but charcoal fire in the world of mortals, scorching the soul."

Hearing this, Meng Bingyun looked at Ji Ran in surprise and said, "I didn't expect that Sir would know me so well, but I don't know Sir yet."

Ji Ran sighed softly: "Thousands of romances throughout the ages have been blown away by the rain and wind. Why should Miss Meng care about Ji, a drop in the ocean? You and I live next to each other, and we can treat each other as just ordinary people. The so-called friendship between gentlemen is indifferent. Like water, it lasts forever."

Meng Bingyun carefully understood Ji Ran's words: "Is the friendship between gentlemen as light as water? Sir, he is really knowledgeable and talented!"

Ji Ran smiled and said: "How dare Ran dare to steal the wisdom of the predecessors. But every time I look up at the stars, I always unconsciously think of the glorious days in ancient and medieval times."

Meng Bingyun joked: "Mr. has great ambitions and is knowledgeable about the past and present. If Bingyun has a child in the future, he will definitely let him become his teacher. I think he will not be stingy in teaching him everything he has."

Ji Ran looked at Meng Bingyun and said, "Who can say anything about the future? The past remains unchanged, and the future is uncertain. Only the present is real."

Meng Bingyun looked at Ji Ran suspiciously and said, "Sir, could it be that he comes from the Great Zen Temple? I heard that the Great Zen Temple has the "Past Amitabha Sutra", "The Present Tathagata Sutra" and "The Future Sutra of No Life", and it seems that I am dealing with Mr. The past, present, and future just now.”

Ji Ran turned around and walked towards the courtyard, saying as he walked: "The so-called four directions above and below are called the universe, and the universe has been known throughout the ages. How can the universe not be the past, present, and future?"

Meng Bingyun watched Ji Ran leave and returned to Mingyue Tower.I just thought of Ji Ran's last words: "The universe? Ji Ran seems to have something else in mind. Could it be that I am Taishang Dao, the two chapters "Yu" and "Zhou" in "Taishang Alchemy Sutra"?"

In the days that followed, both Mingyue Tower and Wenxin Tower returned to their ordinary lives.According to Ji Ran, Jingtian also returned to Shushan with Xu Changqing, the great disciple of Shushan Sect, after experiencing the zombie poisoning case.

The mysterious Shushan, the holy land of the fairy gate, also appeared in the minds of the audience.People who have never seen immortals, but have only heard of legends, feel that immortals should be like Shushan, hoeing the strong and helping the weak, helping the world and saving the people.

Xu Changqing's words: "It is the duty of a Taoist to subjugate demons and demons." This aroused warm applause from many audience members in the audience.

A Qingxu Taoist in the box on the second floor said to the person sitting next to him dressed as a scholar: "Chang Yue, what do you think of this boy? Can he be brought under my door?"

The man dressed as a scholar said: "After hearing this person's description, I feel that Shushan is indeed somewhat similar to our Zhengyi. If he is willing, it would not be bad to become a disciple."

Qingxu Taoist said: "After we leave in a while, you might as well go and have a chat with him. Speaking of which, is this person really not from your Ji family in Jiangzhou?"

The scholar said: "I have never seen this person in my family, and there is no corresponding genealogy."

"When Jingtian saw the leader of Shushan, Taoist Priest Qingwei, Taoist Priest Qingwei looked at the little gangster crawling around in the world with a smile, and said with a smile: 'Child, we finally meet!' If you want to know what kind of story will happen to Sedum in Shushan, please look forward to the next chapter, The Power of Heaven and Man."

Wake up to the sound of wood, and the bookstore is scattered.Many people still left Wenxin Tower reluctantly.The old man Qingxu and the scholar came to Ji Ran's small courtyard. The scholar said, "Master, please stay in the courtyard. There are guests visiting."

Ji Ran said: "It's not surprising that we have friends coming from afar. Please come in, both of you."

Upon hearing this, Taoist Qingxu nodded slightly and entered the courtyard with the scholar.I saw that the courtyard was quietly and elegantly decorated, with lotus leaves spread out and fish playing in a pond.An unknown red tree exudes a gentle atmosphere, making people who enter the courtyard feel comfortable.

This is exactly a hibiscus branch planted by Ji Ran. In just the past year, it has grown to half a meter high.

Ji Ran said: "I wonder why you two are looking for Ji?"

The scholar said: "I am the number one scholar in the 30th year of the Great Qian Dynasty. Ji Changyue is also a member of the Ji family in Jiangzhong. I heard that the owner of this place is surnamed Ji, so I came here to see if he is a descendant of my Ji family."

Ji Ran stood up and saluted: "So it's Brother Ji in person. But I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Brother Ji. I have nothing to do with the Ji family in Jiangzhou. But I do welcome Brother Ji to visit me in Wenxin Tower."

Ji Changyue nodded and said, "It seems that Changyue was reckless."

After saying that, he stood up and saluted Ji Ran.

Ji Ran also got up to return the salute, and then asked: "I don't know who this Taoist priest is?"

Ji Changyue said: "This is one of the three great sects of Daqian today. The sect of the Zhengyi sect is Zhang Yuqing, and he is also my mentor."

Ji Ran saluted Zhang Yuqing and said, "I have met Zhang Tianshi."

Zhang Yuqing stroked his beard and smiled and said: "This is the first time I meet my little friend. There is a magic talisman here, which can be carefully concentrated to drive away evil spirits. Please give it to my little friend!"

Ji Ran stood up and took the talisman, and said to Zhang Yuqing: "Thank you, Taoist Master, for giving me the treasure. The Taoist priest is famous all over the world for his talisman technique. I have heard about it a long time ago, and I am really happy to see it today."

Zhang Yuqing and Ji Changyue looked at each other, and then Ji Changyue said: "I don't know if Lord Ji has any idea of ​​joining any sect. After all, in this Jade City, it is always dangerous to be alone. With the elders of the sect to take care of you, Personal safety can also be guaranteed.”

Ji Ran looked at the two of them and then said: "I accept your kindness, but I might as well forget about joining the sect. After all, I am used to being undisciplined and don't want to be bound by various sect rules. I have had so much fun today, and I still look forward to it. I'll have a chat with the two of you someday if I have the chance."

After that, Ji Ran offered tea to see the guests off.

Zhang Yuqing and Ji Changyue also didn't expect that Ji Ran seemed to be gentle, but was very straightforward in doing things.The two of them didn't stay any longer, turned around and left the small courtyard.It's a pity that the two of them have average swordsmanship, and Zhang Yuqing's soul cultivation can only reach the realm of ghosts and immortals.

Otherwise, he will definitely discover that the lotus flowers in the pond and the swimming fish all have their own secrets.

Originally, with Ji Ran's solitary personality, it was difficult for her to be so polite and approachable to others.Just because Ji Ran wanted to give Yang Pan and Hong Xuanji an illusion, an illusion that Ji Ran did not belong to the Ji family in Jiangzhou.

But whether it is true or false, who knows whether it is false or true?Often this kind of ambiguous answer is the most convincing to the suspicious emperor.

Ji Ran actually has only one purpose for doing all this, just because the seventh and eighth thunder tribulations in this world are the two most special among the nine thunder tribulations.

After seven thunder tribulations, one can become the Creator.As long as there is enough energy, things can be created out of nothing, and the things created will be the same as reality, complete with flesh and blood.If you want to reach the realm of the Creator, in addition to a powerful soul, you also need a profound accumulation of knowledge. Otherwise, if you fabricate it out of thin air, how can you know what it is?What is life?

When it comes to creation, the most suitable inheritance of creation is the Tao of Creation, which has disappeared in the long river of history, but now mysteriously reappears. It is in the hands of Emperor Qian Yang Pan and Hou Hong Xuanji of Wu Wen, the "Book of Creation" and the Tao of Creation. The artifact is the boat to the other side.

At the same time, the one with the largest collection of books and the richest knowledge in the world is none other than the Daqian Palace.Therefore, Ji Ran needs to detonate a conflict point and convince Yang Pan, so that she can have the opportunity or conditions to trade with Yang Pan and get the opportunity to study.Hong Xuanji's initial passion for Meng Bingyun was the opportunity Ji Ran seized.

Only by accumulating enough, Ji Ran can complete seven thunder tribulations without a period of weakness.

Hong Xuanji was very unhappy these days because he found that Meng Bingyun, the Mingyue Fairy in Mingyue Tower, no longer treated him as enthusiastically as before. Although he still smiled after meeting, Hong Xuanji could feel that he and Meng Bingyun were not as enthusiastic as before. The distance is getting bigger and bigger.

The Saint of Taishangdao practices in the land of fireworks, one is to refine her heart for the world of mortals, and the other is to select talented and gifted people to inherit the position of the leader of Taishangdao.

Although Taishang Dao is the first of the six holy places, there are only two official members of Taishang Dao in each generation: the sect master and the saint.Coincidentally, the leader of this generation, Meng Shenji, and the saint, Meng Bingyun, are brothers and sisters.
