The ancestor of all monsters in Shushan

Chapter 565 Dual Cultivation of Life and Life
After hearing what Shi Feiyang said, Deng Yin suddenly woke up and realized that his mind was indeed affected. He was instantly horrified.

The magic spells can influence people's minds in many aspects, especially from the most difficult places to detect, causing people to be controlled unconsciously and do things according to the other party's wishes.

For example, Wan Zhen and Jin Chan were possessed by the devil not because they were confused, they were in a very clear state, but their thoughts had changed. The resentment aroused by the devil was not instilled in them by the outside world, but something they believed to be extremely correct, but it was suppressed in the past and could not be vented.

People who often deal with demons, no matter how careful they are, will fall into their traps if they are not careful, because there is no such thing as a thief who can steal for a thousand days. Demons cannot take away souls and control others directly, but they can influence them subtly and secretly.

It's like another Heavenly Demon Sword that can even harm the monk Chuanxin!
Deng Yin's Taoism skills were very high, and his magical powers were very strong, but he still fell into the opponent's trap without knowing it.

This is the most advanced magic technique in the universe!

People in the orthodox religion know how powerful it is, so they avoid the magic and spells like the plague and will never allow their disciples to be involved in them.

Not only do they not practice it themselves, but they will also take action to eliminate others who practice it, because they know that if this thing remains in the world, it will cause endless harm.

Everyone who practices magic feels that they can control the devil, but they are just bloody dead ghosts. As long as they have the method to refine the devil and the magic weapon to refine the devil, they can be controlled.

The final result will be secretly influenced by the devil, and one will slide into the evil path step by step, ending up with self-destruction and harming others and oneself.

Deng Yin really wanted to get the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword, which was the inner demon. Haha, the ancestor calculated his psychology and gave him a drop of Chi You's blood to help him practice the "Blood Nerve". At this time, the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword was summoning him from a distance, which was the outer demon. The inner and outer thieves worked together to make him affected by the other party, and further to directly control him!
Deng Yin knew what would happen if he was controlled by the devil. He would become someone else's devil son or grandson and could be slaughtered and used by the devil at any time, just like chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs raised by others. His fate was in the hands of the devil.

Back then, he practiced the "Blood Nerve" mostly out of necessity. He believed that he was a rare genius in cultivation in a thousand years. If the Lord of Stone God Palace could succeed in cultivation without being harmed, then he could do it too. However, he almost became a puppet of the demon god.

Later, Princess Honghua entered the evil volume of "Blood Nerve", and the two practiced together, thinking that they could fully master it and be familiar with it and not be harmed by it. But now he suddenly realized that if Shi Feiyang had not reminded him in time, he might really be controlled by Chi You in the future!

He asked Shi Feiyang: "I really want to go to Jiuhua Mountain right now. I can't wait to get there and get the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword. How can I get rid of this evil thought?"

Shi Feiyang said: "You must first get rid of your desire to get the sword. The human spirit likes to be clear, but the heart disturbs it; the human heart likes to be quiet, but desires pull it. If you can always get rid of your desires, your heart will be quiet; if you can clear your heart, your spirit will be clear; naturally the six desires will not arise, and the three poisons will be eliminated..."

Deng Yin smiled bitterly and sighed: "Listening to your words is better than a conversation. I just don't know how to stop this desire."

Shi Feiyang said: "There are many ways to start. You can use emptiness, compassion, or fear. This thing is in you. If you want to get the sword, the root is in your own heart. If you want to cut off this desire, you must first cultivate your heart. Taoists cultivate both nature and life. How to cultivate nature and how to cultivate life? Do you still need me to teach you in detail?"

Deng Yin remained silent after hearing this.

Jiang Shu suddenly interjected: "Real earth captures real lead, and real lead captures real mercury."

After saying this, he closed his mouth and said nothing more. He picked up the wine in front of him and drank it by himself.

He is now a person who is about to ascend to heaven and is also a master in the art of alchemy. What he said were the mantras in the art of alchemy, which were not particularly profound. The three people present knew what was going on.

The clever thing is that he directly pointed out the key point of Deng Yin.

Taoism emphasizes the dual cultivation of nature and life, which is different from the Buddhist worldview. Buddhism believes that all things are manifested by the mind and changed by consciousness. There is no real material world. Color is emptiness. The six realms are created by self-attachment, and the cause and effect of life create the universe.

That’s why we say that there are six realms in dreams, but after waking up, there is nothing in the universe.

Of course, Buddhism also opposes blindly viewing things negatively, so it is also said that emptiness is color.

Taoism believes that the human spirit and the material body influence each other, and that the human mentality will affect the circulation of qi and blood in the body, the endogenous secretions of the internal organs, and other changes, which is the influence of consciousness on matter.

At the same time, the physical body will also affect people's consciousness. When the body is in different states, people will want to eat sweet or sour things, feel inexplicably happy, or feel depressed.

The so-called dual cultivation of sex and life is not simply to cultivate the mind on one hand and take care of the body on the other hand and then combine them together.

The dual cultivation of sex and life is to influence the body through consciousness, and then influence consciousness through the body, in a spiral upward manner.

In the terminology of Taoist alchemy, it means: when it is waxing, the spirit refines the body, and the body generates a bit of yang energy; when it is waning, the body nourishes the spirit, and the spirit retreats a bit of yin energy.

The last two strings come together to form a full moon, representing pure yang. When it comes to Deng Yin, he can't control his mind. At this time, he can start with adjusting his body, using his body to be at peace and his spirit to guard his body, so as to calm his mind.

However, the real lead cannot be obtained by simply conditioning the body. It is the real gold in the Kan and the real yang in the kidney. It is not just kidney qi. It cannot be obtained without reaching a very high level in the alchemy.

What Jiang Shu meant was to use this real gold and real energy to subdue lustful desires.

This is the wonderful use of Taoist mysticism. If it were Buddhism, it would only be solved with psychological means, using the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, the Twelve Links of Dependent Origination, or chanting Buddha's name, reciting mantras, etc., all of which are heart to heart.

But usually when a practitioner’s mind is already confused, trying to adjust it with his confused mind will only result in half the effort and twice the results.

Jiang Shu asked Deng Yin to adjust his mind through his body, which often achieved twice the result with half the effort.

Deng Yin was also an expert in practicing the "Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture". As soon as Jiang Shu said it, he understood what was going on, but he remained silent.

Jiang Shu did not understand the "Blood Nerve", but Shi Feiyang did. Deng Yin had already lost his "True Lead" because he practiced martial arts by peeling off his skin from head to toe, and also pierced his acupuncture points all over his body with golden needles and burned them with magic fire. It took him a long time and he endured endless pain before he could train his flesh and blood into a blood shadow, thus achieving the current blood magic incarnation.

But in doing so, he damaged his physical body. While cultivating both his body and soul, he damaged his life and thus damaged his foundation in Taoism. As a result, he was demoted in the path of Taoism and could not practice many of the advanced spells in the Nine Heavens Mysterious Classic.

Since he doesn't have "real lead", he naturally can't capture "real mercury".

This is also one of the most essential differences between the Demonic Path and the Xuanmen Sect. Orthodox Xuanmen practitioners usually have a stable mind. Why is it stable? A good mentality is only one aspect. People also cultivate their bodies well. The body and soul are integrated, always condensed into a ball, so it is not easy for internal demons to arise, and it is even more difficult for external demons to invade.

Yang Shen is the final crystallization of the dual cultivation of sex and life. When the body and soul are united and it reaches pure Yang, it will basically never be tempted by any magic again.

The Demon Sword is so powerful that it cannot affect the Three Immortals and Two Elders, the Three Heroes and Two Clouds, and even less can it affect Li Jingxu. As long as one becomes a celestial immortal and obtains the Yang God, he will no longer be affected by any magic.

Jiang Shu's magic power is now far inferior to Deng Yin's, but in this respect, he is better than Deng Yin, because he has Yang Shen, and is not vulnerable to any magic that can capture the soul and take away the spirit. Deng Yin cannot do that. No matter how powerful he is, his character is not perfect enough.

The reason why Old Man Kuzhu had such great magical powers back then was because he was from a side sect and had not yet cultivated into a Yang God, his soul was secretly controlled by Old Lady Lu, and he fell into the Taixu illusory world set up by Shi Feiyang.

Shi Feiyang advised Deng Yin again: "You always think that since the Stone God Palace Master was able to achieve enlightenment with the Blood Nerve, others can do the same. However, you know that the Stone God Palace Master did not practice martial arts by peeling off skin. He is different from you.

His foundation of Taoism is always there, so it is not easy for him to be controlled by the devil. He has been in seclusion for decades, and is in the devil realm all the time. He has experienced countless disasters in time and space, but his spirit is always clear. In the end, he survived and was able to achieve Taoism. How about you?"

Deng Yin was not convinced: "Back then, he got seven magic talismans at the bottom of the Silver Cicada Reef. With the help of the magic talismans, he was able to practice in seclusion and avoid being skinned. Sooner or later, I will be able to find the seven magic talismans, and then I will naturally be able to achieve enlightenment."

Seeing that he was stubborn, Shi Feiyang shook his head slowly, "During the 81 years of retreat, the Stone God Palace Master was in the devil's realm all the time. His eyes saw things from different worlds, his ears heard the sounds of the heavens, and his body felt sore, numb, swollen, and painful. Sometimes his heart was eaten by thousands of ants, and sometimes it was burned by flames. It takes great determination and perseverance to get through it. How can you survive if your heart is not firm?"

Deng Yin said: "When I was skinned to practice martial arts, pierced with golden needles, and burned by demonic fire, it was no better than this, but I got through it safely."

"Forget it. You have developed a resistance to the path of the Xuanmen Orthodox Way after all."

Shi Feiyang stopped talking and talked to them about something else. Jiang Shu finally couldn't help asking, "When are we going back to Jiuhua Mountain? We can't just let Chi You kill people at will, right?"

Shi Feiyang put down his wine glass: "Let's do it now. Now is a matter of time. Chi You hid from me for decades. If I go now, I'm afraid he will leave. We have to use A Yin to set a trap. Although we can't destroy him, at least we have to seriously injure his vitality and prevent him from doing any harm for the time being!"

Deng Yin became excited when he heard this: "How can we use me to set up a trap?"

Shi Feiyang told him: "You want to get the Heavenly Demon Sword, it's your desire and devil heart. Chi You also wants you, it's his desire and devil heart. On the surface, he is influencing your mind and subtly controlling your soul, then we can also use this to influence his mind, quietly counter, and manipulate his soul."

Deng Yin was greatly inspired after hearing this, and slapped his thigh in excitement: "That's right, he is thinking that he can completely control me, just like I think that I can completely control him! People think that they can control the devil but not be controlled by the devil. The moment they have this thought, they are already controlled by the devil!"

Jiang Shu was even more stunned: "How can you deal with the devil like this?"

Shi Feiyang didn't let Deng Yin control his thoughts. He first felt an extreme desire in his heart, wanting to get the Demon Slaying Sword, and then use this sword to kill everyone!
