From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 209: Enlightenment on the Stone Scriptures.

There are all kinds of strange stories and legends scattered across China's 960 million square kilometers of land.

Over the past thousands of years, almost every village, every hill, and every weathered stone tablet on this land can be found with some strange stories and ancient events if one explores them carefully.

Some are far-fetched, some are coincidences, but some are not completely groundless.

Li Yang suddenly realized that just like the Yangji Qi-eating method hidden in Mount Emei, this stone scripture path obviously also preserved something.

It’s just that the same scenery looks one way to ordinary people, looks one way to Qi Ling, and when one reaches Xiantian or Zhongdao level to look at it again, it’s quite another.

Li Yang raised his eyes and watched the night falling over the mountains and rivers. His mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts and emotions surging.

This matter was over. After the second edition of "Introduction to Qigong" was compiled, he decided to go to the places where the magical legends were passed down by word of mouth and take a closer look.

Li Yang's heart was filled with excitement. In fact, when exploring for spiritual energy, he had already traveled to many provinces including Hunan, Hubei, Fujian and Taiwan.

But at that time he was busy with a mission, and he could only take a quick glance at the beautiful scenery while flying on his sword.

This time, Li Yang wanted to take a true journey with the heart of a seeker, to see the truths left by the Heavenly Masters and Taoist ancestors in the corners of the deep mountains and old forests.

Li Yang had a hunch that his chance to break through might come during this process of seeking the truth.

There was no conversation that night, and the entire stone path was emitting a mysterious fluctuation that only Li Yang could perceive.

When dawn broke, Li Yang exhaled the last ray of purple energy from the morning glow, slowly opened his eyes, and white mist rose from his Taoist robe that was soaked in the mountain mist.

Ke He and Xia Jiajie had already left. Taoist Chi Ming was sitting cross-legged on the other side of the stone platform, his eyes filled with deep thought.

"How is it, Fellow Daoist Chi Ming, are there any flaws in the cultivation of these two girls?"

Chi Ming frowned and thought for a long time, then shook his head: "Xia Jiajie is fine, but as for Ke He... her meridians and bones don't seem to be compatible with the technique she is practicing now."

"But my cultivation is not high, so I can't make a conclusion yet. I need to observe for another two days."

Li Yang frowned slightly: "Not suitable?"

"It should be that your sister's meridians and bones are unique, the energy in her body is naturally more abundant than others, and her soul is extremely stable. These prospective sword masters should be spreading the "Tianxin Zhengfa" of the Tianxin Sect of the Zhengyi Sect, which is a variant of the talisman and alchemy method."

Chi Ming shook his head and said in amazement: "Looking at Ke He's bones, it seems that he was born for the Quanzhen Sect."

Li Yang's heart moved.
In the inner alchemy method, there are also differences between Quanzhen and Zhengyi.

Although both seek within, Zhengyi focuses more on external Taoist techniques such as talismans, thunder magic, and water spells; while Quanzhen completely advocates the "dual cultivation of nature and life."

The difference is that in general martial arts dramas, the sects of martial arts masters who are proficient in internal skills, such as Huashan, Wudang, Longmen, and Yishan, are basically Quanzhen lineages.

In general movies, the Taoist priests who hold peach wood swords, carry palm thunder or talismans every day, and are either catching ghosts or battling zombies are mostly from Zhengyi.

"That's fine. Anyway, it will take some time to brew the Seven Auxiliary Brew, and we need to find three more medicinal ingredients in the meantime. I'll have to trouble Daoist Chi Ming to take care of it!"

Li Yang bowed his hands in thanks.

"Master Li, that's not right." Chi Ming naturally didn't dare to neglect him, and sighed: "Although I am the abbot of Shangjing Temple, I have never accepted any disciples due to the treaty. Last night, I was able to indulge in my desire to preach and answer questions."

Chi Ming's words were full of emotion.

As a congenital, Chi Ming secretly guarded the capital city. He could not get the fame of Qi Qiansu and Chen Xiyan. He had to practice secretly. He could only be on good terms with people like Xiao Ge in the capital city, and he was troubled and miserable without anyone knowing.

"Let's go. It's time to go back and argue with Lao Qi and Lao Chen."

Li Yang patted Taoist Chi Ming on the shoulder, and the figures of the two Taoists, one old and one young, slowly disappeared in the sunset.
-
On the third night, the moon was high in the sky. When Ke He and Xia Jiajie ran to the Stone Scripture Road, they found that in addition to Li Yang and Chi Ming, there were two more Taoists.

A slightly younger one, probably in his forties, wearing a long green Taoist robe and a "Yi Zi" scarf (also known as the Tai Chi scarf, which is in the shape of a belt and is the simplest daily Taoist scarf in Taoism) with a wooden buckle on the top of his head, looking extremely elegant.

The other one had gray hair and beard, but still had a ruddy complexion, and the Taoist robe he wore looked like Uncle Nine's classic outfit with a different color, making Ke He almost think he had walked into the wrong set.

"Is this Young Master Ke He? You have a good physique indeed." The middle-aged Taoist walked around Ke He for a few times, seemingly examining him.

"When we meet for the first time, elders always have to prepare some gifts, otherwise it would seem that we are stingy. Here, take these."

The middle-aged Taoist smiled and gave Ke He and Xia Jiajie each a wooden plaque. Li Yang did not look at it carefully, but he knew that the gift from the leader of the Taoist alliance must be a good thing.

Li Yang held his forehead and smiled bitterly. When Qi Qiansu, the old man, heard Chi Yang yelling about finding a genius who was suitable for practicing Quanzhen Fa, he insisted on coming to observe under the pretext of looking for young talents for the Taoist Alliance.

Qi Qiansu was originally from the Qingcheng Mountain lineage, and inherited the Quanzhen method. Although the government encourages the unification of sects, the methods practiced by the two sects cannot be combined. After hearing Chi Ming's exaggeration, saying that if this woman practiced the Quanzhen method, she would definitely make rapid progress, and she is Li Yang's sister, I must come and see.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiyan smiled like an old grandfather and gave the two girls gifts.

Ke He and Xia Jiajie were obviously a little confused. After exchanging a few polite words with the Taoist priests, they cast puzzled looks at Li Yang.

Well, it turns out you are also a cloud player.

Li Yang smiled. As early as when they met at Fude Building in Beijing, Ke He had always mentioned Qi Qiansu and Chen Xiyan. However, when they actually met, he couldn't recognize them.

"These are also two inner alchemy Taoist friends. They heard that Chi Ming is preaching to you here, and they are curious, so they want to come and take a look."

Another big boss?

Ke He and Xia Jiajie were both shocked. An expert can tell whether something is effective with just one move. They heard Chi Ming talking about it for a long time yesterday and the results were remarkable.

Although Chi Ming does not seem to be very reliable, he does have some real stuff. After listening to his teachings all night last night, Ke He and Xia Jiajie felt that many of the doubts they had encountered on their path of cultivation were resolved.

Ke He was being polite and well-behaved while looking at the two of them with his eyes rolling.

Aren’t these two also congenital?
Li Yang obviously had no intention of answering their questions, and as usual, he gave Ke He a glass of wine first.

The name of the auxiliary brew this time is "Di Dian", which can refine and increase people's Qi and blood.

After giving Ke He some wine, Li Yang looked at Ke He and said, "There is another reason why the two Taoist priests came here this time."

Chi Ming also stood up at the right time and spoke carefully: "Friend Ke He, from my observation of you yesterday, your meridians and bones do not seem to be suitable for continuing to practice your current method?"

After Chi Ming's detailed explanation, Ke He nodded his head and said, "Okay, okay, you can practice other methods, I'm not picky." Li Yang thought he would have to spend some time talking, but he didn't expect it to go so smoothly. He asked in confusion, "Don't you have any rules for the practice methods for the prepared sword masters?"

"Then what are the rules? Just practice whatever you have. We practice the Tianxin Zhengfa because the instructor only taught us this. Yubao, who came from the Taoist Alliance, practiced her original Taoist method."

Qi Qiansu nodded and said, "Indeed, this Tianxin Zhengfa is the most moderate and gentle method among the inner alchemy methods. It should be no problem for you to practice it. However, friend Ke He has a special physique, which is contrary to this Tianxin Zhengfa."

Ke He asked in disbelief: "You mean, I am actually a genius, but there is something wrong with my cultivation method?"

Qi Qianshu stroked his beard and smiled: "Logically speaking, it is indeed the case."

Ke He was so happy that he almost cried.

There is no one who will not have some ideas after coming into contact with these mysterious things, and Ke He is no exception.

From being the second person to break through the Qi to being the last one in the reserve sword master, although Ke He did not seem to care and often joked with Xia Jiajie, there was always a thorn in his heart.

The reason why she asked for leave every day to go down the mountain and return to school was to avoid the strange looks on the mountain and carefully protect her self-esteem.

Now she was told that she was indeed a genius in cultivation, and a master who was suspected to be innate was personally answering her questions, how could she not be moved to tears.

Ke He was also a smart guy. Looking at Qi Qiansu's smiling eyes, he immediately knew who the preaching master Li Yang had found for him was, and hurriedly wanted to kowtow.

Before she bowed, her hand was held by Qi Qiansu: "Don't rush to bow. I am just happy to see you today. Besides, I don't intend to accept you as my disciple. I will teach you the Dharma today as a good relationship."

"I don't know what your name is..."

"Just call me Qingjingzi." Qi Qianshu stroked his beard and smiled. Qingjingzi was the Taoist name he took when he was selling tickets in Qingcheng Mountain before the revival of spiritual energy. Few people knew it.

"Master Qingjing?" Although he was puzzled, Ke He still bowed respectfully and thought secretly.

Judging from the conversation and behavior between my brother and the Taoist priest, this Qingjingzi is obviously also a congenital,
Hiss, first it was Li Yang, then Chi Ming, and today it’s Qing Jingzi. Doesn’t China have so many innate instructors that it hasn’t told us about?
However, Li Yang obviously did not answer her doubts. Then the entire stone platform was divided into three areas.
In one area, Chi Ming was teaching Xia Jiajie, in another, Qi Qiansu was teaching Ke He, and in the middle area, Li Yang and Chen Xiyan were drinking and chatting.

"Friend Li, I heard that the Baiyun Mountain's method is different from the Quanzhen Yi inner alchemy method. Why don't you teach your sister yourself?"

Li Yang smiled and said, "We can only blame her for not having that blessing."

He had already checked Ke He's bones when they first met. He found that he was good enough for the inner alchemy method, but if he wanted to practice the Qi-eating method...

As for this girl Ke He, she can only go on like this for a while. Don’t bully the poor young people, don’t bully the poor middle-aged people, and don’t bully the poor old people…

"Oh, by the way, you, Fellow Daoist Chi Ming, and Fellow Daoist Qi are all here. I may need to trouble you to help me with something later."

"Oh? With Master Li's abilities, is there any problem that can stump you?" Chen Xiyan's face was full of confusion.

Li Yang pondered for a moment and said, "Baiyun Mountain is currently researching a seven-auxiliary brew, and is still short of three medicinal ingredients. If I go to catch them myself, they might run away. I need the three of you to defend my position for me."

"You are too polite, Brother Li. If you need us, we will definitely help you."

"Good!" With Chen Xiyan's promise, Li Yang was overjoyed and filled Chen Xiyan's glass with Baiyun Liquor.

This is the concentrated essence of the original brew, which tastes much mellower than ordinary Baiyun Li, and is also beneficial to the innate nature.

But Li Yang was really tired of drinking it. No matter how delicious it was, he couldn't stand drinking it every day.
Others regard this as a spiritual practice resource, but he really drinks it as a beverage.

The Seven Auxiliary Wines on him were too precious and of no use to him, so Li Yang planned to ask Wang Xin to brew some more wines of other flavors when he returned.

At around 2 a.m., Qi Qiansu and Ke He's preaching came to an end.

From the area between Chi Ming and Xia Jiajie, one could hear Chi Ming's crazy roars. It was unknown how this girl Xia Jiajie had provoked Chi Ming.

Li Yang asked everyone to gather together. When Qi Qiansu and Chi Ming heard Li Yang's request, they naturally felt obliged to do so. Even Ke He and Xia Jiajie, when they heard that they were going to look for some medicinal ingredients, became eager to try and wanted to go and observe.

"Well, since you two have both entered the world of cultivation, it's time for you to see some big scenes." Li Yang did not refuse. He was very pleased that the two had such courage.

"A big scene?" Ke He and Xia Jiajie looked at each other, feeling uneasy.

Xia Jiajie whispered to Ke He secretly: "If we want to get the medicine, it's so late, isn't it just a waste of time on the mountain? We have been on the mountain for more than a year, how can there be any big scene?"

Ke He didn't say anything, but looked up at Li Yang, recalling the day when Li Yang flew her back to school on a sword.

"In that case, sword raised!"

With a swish sound, the crystal blue sword that Ke He remembered flew out of Li Yang's hand, and then grew longer and wider in the wind, more than ten meters long, and hovered very steadily above the stone platform, illuminating the surrounding area with blue light.

Qi, Chen and Chi were already accustomed to it, so they used the Tiyun Leap and landed steadily on the sword.

Ke He was fine, after all, he had seen Li Yang's supermodel swordplay before.
She turned around and saw Xia Jiajie's eyes were dull and she was slapping herself madly.

"Oh my god, I'm not dreaming?!"

"There really are sword immortals in this world, and there are really people who can fly with swords!"

"Ke He, you lied to me, didn't you say that the person flying a sword that day I saw was just an illusion?!"

Ke He was still trying to argue when he suddenly felt a gentle force at his waist pulling him and Xia Jiajie up.

"gone!"

Li Yang smiled brightly, and after everyone had stabilized, he urged the Nanming Sword to rush straight to the north.

Along the way, Xia Jiajie stood on both legs, supporting Ke He and standing unsteadily, not daring to look down at all.

In order to speed up, Li Yang rushed all the way, and the sword light was like a meteor with a flaming tail, tearing through the night sky.

The place they are going to this time is Songjiang in the northeast.

Li Yang originally planned to go to Dongting Lake, but the creatures under Dongting Lake have not shown up since he beat them last time, and seemed to have run to other river areas along the tributaries.

The Songjiang area has recently been hit by extremely heavy rains, a rare flood. According to Gong Qi's records on the spiritual feng shui map, there seemed to be traces of this creature in the Songjiang River.
