Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 236 The Secret of the Inner Scene, the Pill of Heaven and Earth!
After that, Xia Ye sent Lao Meng back to the northwest as promised, and Hei Guaner followed all the way. Seeing that Lao Meng had passed all the company's tests and returned successfully, he finally believed it a little and agreed to visit "Heaven" first to see the situation.

As for Wang Zhenqiu, he left directly and went through his own channels to inquire about the news of "Wu Zheng Samadhi". From today on, he officially became the alien intelligence source of "Heaven" and should take up his post as soon as possible.

Afterwards, Xia Ye personally brought Hei Guan'er to Nasen Island. He was not worried that this guy would leak information. If he was ultimately unwilling to join, it would be easy for him to erase his memory of "Heaven".

After arriving at Nason Island, Hei Guan'er was immediately stunned by the wonders of the "Thirty-six Heavens". He did not expect that the headquarters of this "Heaven" would be so majestic and grand, with intertwined spaces, which was far beyond his understanding of the world of extraordinary people!
"How's it going? Not bad, right?"

Seeing this guy surprised, Xia Ye said with a smile.

"This Nasen Island was originally a lawless place, but was taken over by my Heavenly Court. Now it has become the last pure land for the extraordinary people in the world."

"Here, everyone has freedom and is fighting for true freedom. This will be the starting point of everything in the future. Who knows, it may become a 'holy land' in the future."

Along the way, Xia Ye had told Hei Guan'er about the situation in "Heaven". Now he was drawing a blueprint for the future, which would indeed be a bright future.

"Um……"

After seeing all this with his own eyes, Hei Guan'er believed it even more, especially when he saw the natives of Nasen living in the 32nd heaven, which is the living space. Seeing everyone training, farming, and having no worries about food and clothing, he couldn't help but feel that this was truly a paradise.

After a while...

"What's up?"

Xia Ye brought the clarinet to "Daluotian", and Meng Qi also walked out of his room. Seeing an outsider following them, he couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

"Who is this……"

"Let me introduce you. This is Clarinet. Like you before, he is also a temporary worker in the company and belongs to Huazhong." Xia Ye introduced.

"Are you Meng Qi?"

Seeing Meng Qi appear, he recalled the previous internal announcement and confirmed it immediately.

"So, you disappeared before and joined the 'Heavenly Court'?"

"Yes."

"You should be aware of the company's situation. It's like an abyss to people like us. The most important thing is that although he provides shelter, the danger also comes from the company itself."

Seeing that the other party was also a temporary worker, Meng Qi naturally understood what Xia Ye meant, and he looked serious.

By now, Meng Qi has thought it through completely. As she said, the relationship between the company and the temporary workers seems to be that one party provides shelter and the other party works in exchange for shelter, but this kind of "shelter" itself is problematic.

What the company is protecting is the existence of temporary workers who can ignore the rules to a certain extent and continue to "live". At least this is the case for Meng Qi, Chen Duo, Hei Guan'er, and Xiao Zizai, who was originally going to become a temporary worker. This is the essence.

But the problem is that these so-called "rules" were originally made by the company or the superiors. You first make a rule to restrict me, and then use a little "privilege" as a favor. What kind of logic is this?
Of course, there are some special cases. For example, if someone is very young and cannot control his or her own abilities like Meng Qi, in this case it is indeed reasonable for the company to restrict and guide him or her, and then let him or her do some things for the company. But in the end, not even allowing him or her to retire is not right.

The two sat down and talked about this topic for a long time. Since their situations were similar, Hei Guan'er could relate to a lot of things Meng Qi said and naturally agreed with her.

As for their own leaders, their attitudes were surprisingly consistent:
"I can actually understand Uncle Liao's difficulties, and I have always been grateful to him. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be who I am today," Meng Qi recalled.

"Yes, I know."

Hei Guan nodded. He felt the same way about Ren Fei. If it weren't for Ren Fei's protection, he would have been sentenced to more than ten years in prison for the crimes he had committed before.

but……

This job is really tiring!

All in all, apart from the outlier Feng Baobao, both of them can be said to be among the earliest batch of temporary workers. They worked like slaves for the company for many years and performed countless tasks.

Needless to say, Meng Qi's previous situation, in the original plot, she retired due to injuries, and actually did not have much time left. Although Hei Guan'er's body was strong, he was also scarred and had countless hidden injuries in his body.

and so……

"Why don't you stay? Even if our plan is successful this time, the company won't be able to hold on for much longer. There's no point in going back," Meng Qi persuaded.

"Um……"

However, Clarinet pondered for a moment and still shook his head.

"I want to stay, but not now. My situation is different from yours. As for Ren Fei... I need to give an explanation."

"no problem."

Hearing this, Xia Ye, who had been standing by without interrupting, immediately spoke up.

"But I need to put you under a ban to prevent you from leaking everything here. Do you understand?"

"Well, yes."

Clarinet nodded in response.

"Of course, I'll say this beforehand. Ultimately, everything depends on your own choice. If you agree, you're welcome to join us. I'll remove the restrictions. If you still choose to return to the company, I'll also need to erase your memory of this place."

"Understood, routine operation."

Hei Guaner is naturally familiar with this series of operations. After all, the company has encountered similar problems before, and this is also the most basic.

"Okay, I'll take you back now."

"It's troublesome."

So, Xia Ye sent the clarinet back to Huazhong and immediately greeted him.

"If the matter is resolved or a decision is made, just call this number and you can get in touch at any time."

Before leaving, Xia Ye gave Hei Guan'er a number, which was a string of numbers that was completely different from a normal phone number. This was a communication channel specially established by Canglong, and it would also be monitored in real time.

Therefore, it does not matter even if the number is exposed. Zanglong will make the judgment whether to answer or not when the call is completed. It is impossible for people in the company to get anything with the help of this number, so there is no need to worry.

"Okay, I'll get in touch."

……

……

Just like that, Hei Guan'er returned to Huazhong temporarily, and Xia Ye also left. At the moment, he really had nothing else to deal with, so he returned to the clinic.

Without taking down the "Retreat" sign at the door of the clinic, he returned to the retreat room again. Without further ado, he made preparations to go inside to find out what was going on.

"Interior scene..."

Speaking of which, Xia Ye has entered the inner scene over the years. After all, this is the most mysterious area in one person's world, and he has explored it during his practice.

He had always felt that this inner scene should be the "soul side" of the world, and its essence was similar to the "hell", a gathering of the soul power of heaven and earth.

but……

As his understanding of the inner scene became clearer, including previous conversations with Zhou Sheng and Old Heavenly Master about the inner scene, he deeply realized that the inner scene should be more than this and not that simple.

This also includes Qu Tong, who is suspected to be hiding in the interior scene, and also proves this point. There must be a huge secret hidden in the interior scene. If it can be explored, many previous mysteries may be solved.

In addition, from the perspective of spiritual practice, Xia Ye also has his own understanding of the inner scene, because in fact, the Taoist "Inner Alchemy" already contains something called "inner scene", but it is not the same as the "inner scene world".

It is the "scene" or "vision" that occurs in the practitioner's body during practice!
As we all know, "internal alchemy practice" uses "essence, energy and spirit" as medicine, that is, "sexual life qi", to condense the three into one to make the "innate primordial spirit" appear, and then train the primordial spirit into a yang spirit, completing the transformation from continuing acquired life to restoring innate life...

This is the legendary "attaining the Tao and becoming an immortal"!
During the process of cultivation, as the vital energy rises, it fumigates the five internal organs, produces yellow buds when it senses the earth energy, and produces white snow when it senses the gold energy. As the vital energy accumulates, various colors of light will bloom in the body, and the colors of light will change according to different levels of cultivation.

As the practice becomes more and more advanced, the "light color" in the body of the "Inner Alchemy" practitioner will gradually change from virtual to real, and turn into various strange phenomena. They usually appear one after another step by step, and there are nine kinds in total.

In the records of Taoist classics today, as well as in the practice of Taoists, these nine kinds of anomalies are also the most common. Unless a person of extraordinary talent can realize a new method on his own, there will basically be no other changes:

First, a lotus grows in Kun’s belly!
After the practitioner has cultivated to the point where the spirit and energy are concentrated, a lotus will naturally appear in the practitioner's abdomen. The red of the lotus symbolizes true yang, and the green of the lotus leaves represent vitality. A pink lotus blooms in the red abdominal cavity, which is exactly the scene of "planting lotus in fire" described by "Zi Yang Zhenren", the founder of alchemy.

it's for:

If you don’t know the mystery, how can you know that it is a good place to plant lotus in the fire?

Bring the white tiger home to raise, and it will give birth to a pearl as bright as the full moon.

……

Second, Huangting Pearl!
The shape of the baby is like a floating energy ball, symbolizing the innate qi. The abdomen is called "Huangting". The essence, qi and spirit are condensed in the empty and spiritual orifice in the abdomen. As the energy in it increases, light will arise and form a "light bead", also called a "Dan bead".

it's for:

If you want to achieve the immortality of the Valley Spirit, you must rely on the Mysterious Pin to establish your foundation.

Once the true essence returns to the golden room, the bright pearl will never leave.

……

Third, Qian Palace breeding!
There is a hidden shape of a baby in the Niwan Palace in the brain, and "innate qi" enters the Niwan from above the sky. This is the image of "gathering qi at the Baihui". Although the spirit of the inner elixir is nurtured in the lower dantian, its spiritual root and basis of liberation are on the top of the head.

it's for:

The words in ten thousand immortal scriptures are all the same; this is the root of the golden elixir.

The body is formed according to his Kun position and planted in the sympathetic palace of Qian.

……

Fourth, practice out of body!
When a practitioner achieves "ecstasy" for the first time, that is, the soul power leaves the body, which contains extremely strong energy, he will feel that the sky above his head is full of purple light, purple air, and purple clouds. When the golden elixir enters the mud pill on the top of the head, purple light will usually emerge, so the "mud pill" is also called the "purple court".

it's for:

Nothingness gives birth to white snow, and silence gives birth to yellow buds.

The fire in the jade furnace is burning brightly, and purple clouds are flying above the tripod.

……

Fifth, the furnace is always red!
The sky and the earth are filled with red light, and golden snowflakes are flying in the red light, which is called "falling flowers from the sky". When practitioners see red light appearing inside and outside the sky and earth, it means that they have communicated with the innate yang energy.

This means: there is natural fire inside, and the furnace is always bright and red.

It takes hard work to increase or decrease the external furnace, and there is no better way than to achieve the true goal.

……

Sixth, the spirit and form are separated!
There are six holy infants in the void, and each of them has a magical pill on it, symbolizing that the spirit of the practitioner is endlessly reborn and transformed between heaven and earth. These are the "six gods" formed by the combination of the "primordial spirit" of the life and the "spirits" of the five internal organs.

it's for:

When a couple has intercourse, they make love in the bridal chamber.

Every child born in a year can ride on a crane.

……

Seventh, there is a body outside of this body!
At this time, the practitioner's "spirit" is exactly the same as the physical body, which is called "yang spirit" in the alchemy method, meaning that the practitioner has since freed himself from the root of life and death, and his spiritual body is in the form of an "infant", symbolizing the process of cultivation, and the "body outside the body" is the result of cultivation.

it's for:

Let the thief into the house to open the treasure, but he doesn't know that there is someone else hiding outside.

There is a body outside of the body, look for it inside the body, a pot of pure and harmonious energy is like a spring.

……

Eighth, deification outside the body!
At this time, the practitioner is the "form" and the "body outside the body" is the spirit. With both form and spirit, the physical body is transformed into Qi. The whole body is colorful and looks like a blooming flower, reflecting the relationship between the "five elements of heaven and earth" and the "Qi transformation of the physical body."

it's for:

The sky is covered with white snow and the ground is covered with yellow buds.

Take this knife and jade to keep your youth forever, and the magic pill will be formed.

Reborn and reborn, in the clouds.

……

Ninth, return to the roots and fulfill destiny!
On the top of the practitioner's head there are "roots" like tree roots and dragon horns that extend straight into the void above the head. This is what Taoism calls "returning to the root and restoring life". This is because the life of the human body comes from the combination of the "spirituality" and "vital energy" in the void and the acquired "sperm and egg" embryo. Only by obtaining this spiritual root can one achieve immortality and "control his own life".

it's for:

All things return to their roots, and by returning to their roots they can live forever.

It is difficult to know the true self and return to the true self, but it is often heard that reckless actions will bring disaster upon oneself.

……

From the above changes, it is not difficult to see that the Taoist "inner alchemy practice" is said to be "dual cultivation of nature and life", but the essence is "life first, then nature", from bottom to top, with primordial energy and true qi as the connection. The deeper you go, the more important the practice of "sexual power" becomes, and finally "nature, life and qi" are combined to have a chance to become an immortal.

Although this "inner scene" looks different from that "inner scene", don't forget that Taoist practice is to imitate the heaven and earth, and everything comes from nature, so this "inner scene" naturally has a source!
"From the current perspective, if this 'inner scene' is really the 'consciousness' of this world, then the 'inner scene' of inner alchemy practice should be born from this and eventually connected to..."

"After all, when a sorcerer inquires in the 'inner scene', various strange phenomena will also occur. The essence of these phenomena is the 'answers' summarized from the operation of heaven and earth, just as the 'inner scene' of the inner elixir is also naturally produced in the process of Taoist practice. The two have the same purpose!"

in this way……

Xia Ye couldn't help but guess.

"If this is true, then this 'inner scene' is probably not just a simple 'collection of souls'. It must also contain the energy of heaven and earth and the innate essence. The three may be combined into one...ah!"

As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly felt that he had grasped something key. If everything was really as he thought, then when comparing this "inner scene" with the "alchemy method", it was not the "soul part", but...

"Neidan?!"

Without any hesitation, Xia Ye immediately stood up, walked out of the house, took out his cell phone, and called the old Taoist priest:

"Hello, old Taoist priest, it's me. I just had a guess and I hope to confirm it with you!"

"When I was analyzing the inner scene just now, I suddenly thought of the inner scene of our Taoist inner alchemy method. When I compared the two..."

"Haha, you finally found it."

Before he could finish, the old Taoist's laughter came from the other end of the phone.

"That's right, the 'Inner Scene' is not made up of pure soul power, but is similar to the 'Inner Alchemy'!"

"really!"

With the old master's confirmation, Xia Ye was also completely certain, and in this way, his previous guess made sense.

"So, is it true that someone can survive in the 'Inner Scene' for a long time... or even practice cultivation?"

“Well, although it is difficult, if one has extraordinary means and can withstand the various attractions in the ‘inner scene’, practitioners can indeed practice in the ‘inner scene’, and the speed of progress in practice will be faster than in reality!” The old Taoist priest responded.

"And the reason why this is possible, I believe you have already seen, the 'inner scene' is full of 'innate spirituality', 'innate qi' and 'innate essence', and the 'sexual and life qi' are all complete and at an extremely high level, it is like a paradise!"

"Then old Heavenly Master, if that is the case, why don't the Taoist seniors practice in the 'Inner Scene'...ah!"

As soon as he said this, Xia Ye realized something.

"Could it be that?!"

"Haha, it seems you have already thought of it. I can't say more about this. I can't say it... I can't say it!"

"Is it because of the 'Tianshi Du'?"

"It cannot be explained. You must understand it yourself."

"It seems so..."

Seeing the old Taoist priest's words, Xia Ye also understood. He suddenly thought that since this "inner scene" is so suitable for cultivation and is so consistent with the Taoist "inner alchemy method", the Taoist masters, especially those top predecessors, should practice in it.

And now it seems that they have indeed entered, and their connection with the "inner scene" is obviously quite deep, so much so that the secret is hidden in the Heavenly Master Degree, and only the leader of Taoism and the contemporary Heavenly Master can know it!

Recalling his previous conversation with the old Taoist priest, he couldn't help but wonder:

"Could it be that this is related to the situation of 'the missing man'?!"

As soon as he thought of this, Xia Ye suddenly felt the fog in front of him slowly dissipating, and a top-secret that had spanned tens of thousands of years was slowly emerging to the surface, just waiting for him to explore the "inside scene".

Just as he was about to thank the old Taoist priest and wanted to hang up the phone to go into the "inner scene" first, the old Taoist priest on the other end of the phone suddenly spoke again:
"Oh, by the way, I have something else to tell you. Since you just called me, let's just say this..."

"At this point, the overall situation has been decided and your plan has been completed. Although the chairman of the company is now your man, in order to deal with his superiors, he will inevitably come to trouble me. You know, I don't like to deal with these things."

"Therefore, I decided to pass the position of Heavenly Master to Lingyu as soon as possible, including my Heavenly Master degree. I have worn this shackle for so many years, and I am tired of it..."

"The process of inheriting the Heavenly Master's degree is very dangerous for the previous generation of Heavenly Masters. At the very least, they will be seriously injured and their cultivation will no longer exist. At the worst, they will die on the spot. Therefore, I am afraid that I will have to stay in seclusion for a long time after the inheritance is completed. If you have any problems at that time, just go to Huaiyi or Jinzhong. They will help you."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Ye's eyes narrowed immediately, and then he made a joke.

"Old Heavenly Master, are you itching to do something like 'destroy and then build' because you saw Master Jiekong find the other shore?"

He knew in his heart that with the old Heavenly Master's level of cultivation, it was impossible for him to be killed by a restriction. And with the precedent of Master Jiekong, "destroying and then establishing" was no longer empty talk. This might also be an opportunity for the old Heavenly Master to get a glimpse of "Tongtian" even further!
After hearing what he said, the old Taoist priest also laughed and said, "Hahaha, what you said is not wrong. Destroy and then build. If the bald guy Jie Kong can do it, then why can't I, Zhang Zhiwei, do it?"

As soon as the old Taoist priest finished speaking, Xia Ye's eyes turned and an idea came to his mind:

"In that case, I would like to do my best to help you. It can be regarded as my gift to you to wish you to break free from the shackles. As you know, a few days ago, Mr. Lu passed on the "Nine Sequences Heart Method" of their Sanyi Sect to me. After studying it, I also realized the wonderful meaning of 'destruction and then establishment'!"

"Oh? Tell me."

Therefore, Xia Ye explained in detail his previous conjectures about the "Three Levels of Reverse Life", his understanding of the "Nine Sequences Heart Method", the "Reverse Life Completion Strategy" he came up with later, and the entire experimental process.

After all, when it comes to enlightenment, details are the most essential and crucial. He sincerely hopes that the old master can make a breakthrough through this, so he did not hide anything.

in this way……

The old Taoist priest listened attentively.

Xia Ye said it seriously.

It was not until it was getting dark outside and the sun was setting that he finally explained everything clearly and then fell silent.

moment……

"Um……"

"Thank you. This is very precious and important. I owe you a favor and will repay you in the future."

On the other end of the phone, the old Taoist priest seemed to be savoring the moment, and then he spoke slowly, looking very satisfied.

"I wish the old master success!"

At this point, neither of them said anything more and hung up the phone. A faint smile appeared on Xia Ye's face.

Destroy and then build up. Destroy and then build up…

Could it be that the path of spiritual practice cannot escape these four words in the end?
If this is true, then when will one be "destroyed" and what will one be "established"?

At present, he has not encountered a bottleneck, so the answer is still unknown. He did not dwell on it, but just let the thought go, went back to the house, and sat down cross-legged.

"Hush-huh-"

After taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly, Xia Ye's heart suddenly calmed down. With what he had gained before, he felt more confident in exploring the interior this time.

In a short while, he adjusted his state. All his emotions were slowly gathered at this moment, and all distracting thoughts were gone. He quickly entered a state of "meditation"...

The consciousness floats and the inner scene unfolds!
