Chapter 146 Chu Chaoran's Past! Small Distractors and Big Distractors (5k chapter)

In the past hundred years, if we talk about the most famous figures in Taoism, the name of the Taoist Sanshi is the best in the world. Even if time passes, it is difficult to erase the glory of his unparalleled power.

Before Chu Chaoran suddenly appeared in the world, he was the undisputed number one in the world, standing at the pinnacle of Taoism, overlooking the door to all wonders, able to resonate with the ancient ancestors, and glimpse the realm of immortals on land.

Sixty years ago, in the year of Jiazi, the Taoist Sanshi fought with Chu Chaoran on the top of Mount Dongyue. From then on, the world's number one master disappeared.

Even so, as time goes by, his name is still passed down by many predecessors, and his influence is like a ghost, as if it has never disappeared.

But Zhang Fan couldn’t understand it. If this was the case, then the Three Corpses Taoist and Chu Chaoran were mortal enemies.

Since Xiaoxiaole Funeral Home is a property under the name of Zhenwu Mountain, why would it enshrine the portrait of the Three Corpses Taoist Priest, and do it so ostentatiously and without any shyness?

When Zhang Fan asked this question, even Sui Chunsheng and Zhan Xinyue looked at Liu Xingyu at the same time.

For them, the identity of the Three Corpses Taoist is even more special. He is not only Chu Chaoran's greatest enemy in his life, but also the strongest existence of the Wuwei Sect in the past.

The Wuwei Sect is a heresy.

"Since our curator has practiced the Taoist magic of Sanshi Taoist, it is reasonable to hang his portrait." Liu Xingyu said lightly.

To practice Taoism, one must offer magic spells.

For example, when practicing the [Five Thunders Orthodox Method], one must worship the [Nine Heavens Yingyuan Leisheng Puhua Tianzun].

Others are dedicated to the ancestors of the Dharma lineage, etc.

"What? Your director has practiced the Taoist magic of the Three Corpses?"

After these words were spoken, not to mention Sui Chunsheng and Zhan Xinyue, even Zhang Fan couldn't help but reveal a strange look.

He couldn't help but look at Liu Xingyu in front of him twice. He never expected that the other party would admit it so frankly without any concealment.

"What's your expression?"

Liu Xingyu looked at everyone's surprised expressions but didn't take it seriously.

"There is no good or evil in Taoism, and no high or low in Dharma... These methods were passed down by the transcendent master." Liu Xingyu said in a deep voice.

"As a disciple of Zhenwu Mountain, why can't I practice?"

"Transcendent True Man!?"

Sui Chunsheng and Zhan Xinyue looked at each other and remained silent.

They had heard from their elders before that when the demons were eliminated in Jiazi year, no one could be seen on Mount Dongyue, and in the end only the True Man Chaoran came down. After that battle, Chu Chaoran seemed to have glimpsed many secrets of the Taoist Three Corpses. When he returned to Zhenwu Mountain, he recorded many Taoist methods and made them into a secret book.

At first, the two juniors just thought it was a rumor, but now it seems that it is most likely true. Not only is it true, but Master Chaoran actually allows his disciples to practice.

"There is no good or evil in Taoism, and no high or low in law... The mind of the transcendent master is indeed not something that our generation can understand." Sui Chunsheng said lightly.

"I heard... that when Master Chaoran was young, he traveled around the world and was quite interested in various Taoist methods. He even hid his identity and studied under various..." Zhan Xinyue suddenly said.

"new moon……"

However, before she finished her words, she was interrupted by Sui Chunsheng, who looked at Liu Xingyu with an unnatural expression, and then apologized: "Brother, please don't be offended, my sister is outspoken."

"It doesn't matter, it's not a secret." Liu Xingyu shook his head and looked at Zhang Fan subconsciously.

If it had happened just now, he would have blasted him with a blast of real fire, but after seeing Zhang Fan's methods, his attitude was much better.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Fan was confused. He approached Zhan Xinyue and asked in a low voice.

"Actually, it's nothing..." Liu Xingyu said generously upon seeing this.

Who is not frivolous when young? Who is not absurd when young?
Even Chu Chaoran, who is now known as a living immortal, is no exception.

It is said that when he was young, in order to study the Taoism of various sects, he once hid his identity, traveled around the world, and visited famous mountains.

You should know that having multiple investments is a big taboo in Taoism.

Therefore, according to many old people, Chu Chaoran had a bad reputation when he was young and was once regarded as the public enemy of Taoism, like a rat crossing the street, and everyone wanted to kill him.

However, later on, the Taoist sect suffered a great catastrophe, and many of the world's masters died out, so no one cared about him anymore. In addition, Chu Chaoran became increasingly powerful, and he was the only survivor of the Taoist catastrophe, so the absurd things he did in his youth were gradually forgotten. Until today, these things are nothing more than interesting stories of the great man when he was young, and they add a touch of humanity to his lofty divinity.

"I didn't expect that old man had such a past."

Zhang Fan murmured softly, and the image of Chu Chaoran promoting the retreat course emerged in his mind.

"Master Chaoran is known as the 'living dictionary' of Taoism. He has dabbled in Taoist methods of all sects and schools. I heard that he has even studied the nine legendary inner alchemy methods in depth." Zhan Xinyue seemed to have opened up a chatterbox, with no taboos.

In fact, this topic has already touched upon some of the secrets of Zhenwu Mountain.

"That's true." Liu Xingyu said calmly without caring.

The older generation of Taoists all know that when Chu Chaoran was young, his obsession with Taoism was almost demonic. Today, many of the secret books and mysterious techniques in Zhenwu Mountain were collected and compiled by Chu Chaoran.

Among them, the most precious ones are related to the nine legendary inner alchemy methods.

"The Tao has been passed down through the ages, and the Nine Extremes are supreme..." Liu Xingyu whispered in a concentrated voice.

The nine great inner alchemy methods are extremely mysterious and their inheritance track is unpredictable. Even the Zhenwu Mountain does not have these nine great inner alchemy methods.

However, before Chu Chaoran entered the Pure Yang Realm, he collected a lot of Taoist methods related to the Nine Inner Alchemy Methods.

For example, the [Southern and Northern Sects] that Zhang Fan practiced were derived from the [Five Elements King] among the nine inner alchemy methods.

In addition, the secret [Inner Demon Attraction] is derived from [Divine and Demon Holy Embryo] among the Nine Inner Alchemy Methods.

……

Each of these methods is extremely advanced and difficult to practice, and is treasured in Zhenwu Mountain.

Similarly, after the Jiazi year, when he eliminated the demons, Chu Chaoran learned a lot about the methods of [Three Corpses Illuminating Life]. Since then, this living immortal has almost never left Zhenwu Mountain again.

The Taoist Sanshi was once the world's number one master and was himself a huge treasure. After his death, Zhenwu Mountain naturally gained a lot of benefits. This is nothing surprising.

It seems that the director of this Candy Crush Funeral Home should be practicing the secret book that Chu Chaoran brought out back then. No wonder there is a portrait of the Three Corpses Taoist hanging here.

As he spoke, Liu Xingyu took out a stack of documents from his drawer and threw them in front of Sui Chunsheng.

"The curator is indeed not here, but he also said that if you guys are really difficult to deal with, he will give this to you."

"This is..." Sui Chunsheng picked up the document and started reading it.

"The property of Candy Crush in Yujing City...the old house you mentioned is not on the handover list." Liu Xingyu said lightly.

"What do you mean?" Sui Chunsheng frowned.

"The Xiaoxiaole Funeral Home has been open in Yujing City for more than 30 years, but our director only took over ten years ago. The old house was not included in the property details handed over at that time." Liu Xingyu said lightly.

"That is to say... the previous director has never seen the old house being handed over?" Sui Chunsheng seemed to have grasped the key.

So, the ownership and use rights of the old house are still in the hands of the previous curator! ?
"Who was the previous director?" Sui Chunsheng asked.

"I advise you not to ask. It's useless to ask. You can never see that kind of existence." Liu Xingyu said lightly.

"Who is it?"

"Liu Nanxu!" Liu Xingyu opened his lips slightly and uttered a name.

"Master Liu!?" Sui Chunsheng's face trembled, looking extremely surprised.

Liu Nanxu was one of the three great Heavenly Masters in Zhenwu Mountain, and the youngest one at that. He entered the realm of Heavenly Master when he was only in his fifties. He was hailed as the genius second only to Chu Chaoran in the past hundred years in Zhenwu Mountain.

That kind of existence, the mysterious cultivation in the deep mountains and wonderful temples, is not something that can be seen by Sui Chunsheng, not even by Lou Hechuan, the president of the Jiangnan Provincial Taoist Alliance.

In the world today, the only one who can drive Master Liu Tianshi at will is the living immortal in Zhenwu Mountain.

"If you want to investigate, go ahead." Liu Xingyu spread his hands.

The reason why he didn't take out the document early on was, firstly, he really didn't want to get into trouble with the Jiangnan Provincial Dao Alliance, and secondly, since it involved Master Liu, he naturally had to be extremely cautious.

"How can we check this?" Sui Chunsheng couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He knew that the matter of the dragon energy in the old house came to an end. When Liu Xingyu took out the document, the case was closed.

It involves a sect of Heavenly Masters. You think you can just investigate? Not to mention that nothing can be found. Even if you find out...

"Forget it. This kind of thing is not something we can control." Sui Chunsheng shook his head and asked, "Can I take this document back with me?"

"I'm bringing it back to you." Liu Xingyu gestured.

As long as this document is placed on Lou Hechuan's desk, he will naturally weigh the interests involved.

Some things, if not weighed, are not even 100 grams, but if weighed, they weigh more than 1,000 pounds.

At this moment, Zhang Fan felt a little relieved. This trip was indeed not in vain. It seemed that the matter of their old house was over, and the Jiangnan Provincial Dao Alliance should not investigate him.

However, at this moment, Zhang Fan had a question in his mind. The old house where he had lived since he was a child was actually the property of Zhenwu Mountain. Was this just a coincidence?

If not, what is the relationship between their family and Zhenwu Mountain?
"Damn it, you didn't even tell me about family matters, did you?"

Zhang Fan muttered in his heart, but the figure of Zhang Lingzong appeared in his mind. He had never seen a father who guarded his son like a thief, not telling him anything and treating him as a complete outsider.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Zhang Fan originally knew everything, but just forgot a lot of things. After all, his [Evil God] is still floating outside!!!
"In that case, we'll leave first."

The matter was settled, and Sui Chunsheng stood up and was about to leave.

"What kind of Taoism does your director practice?"

At this moment, Zhang Fan's voice suddenly rang out, attracting everyone's attention.

Zhan Xinyue seemed to be smiling, but Sui Chunsheng felt a little embarrassed. The mysterious cultivation method of Taoism was everyone's secret and privacy, and it was really abrupt and presumptuous to ask about it so openly.

"Um... What I mean is what kind of Three Corpse Technique is he practicing? I'm just curious." Zhang Fan also knew that this was a bit rude and smiled awkwardly.

"Don't be offended, Brother." Sui Chunsheng greeted him with curiosity in his eyes, staring at Liu Xingyu with great sincerity.

"I do not know either."

Liu Xingyu shook his head and whispered, "I heard that after Chao Ran returned to Zhenwu Mountain, he secluded himself for three months and obtained three volumes of secret books, which recorded the Three Corpse Methods. There are three major methods and nine minor methods. The most important one is..."

"What is it?" Sui Chunsheng and Zhan Xinyue asked in unison.

"Actually, your Taoist Alliance should also have records." Liu Xingyu said meaningfully.

The existence of the Taoist Alliance is to supervise all sects and factions in the world, especially Zhenwu Mountain. The existence of a living real person there makes it naturally the focus of attention.

Liu Xingyu knew about this, so it shouldn't be a secret in the Taoist Alliance.

"The entry-level skill of the Three Corpses is also its most important mental method."

"Some files in the Taoist Alliance can only be viewed after reaching the required years of seniority." Sui Chunsheng said awkwardly.

"Brother, what is the most important thing you just said?" Zhan Xinyue looked at Liu Xingyu with watery eyes, her voice soft and gentle.

"That is the entry-level skill of [Three Corpses Illuminating Life], and it is also the most crucial mental method." Liu Xingyu said in a deep voice.

"What are the important techniques for getting started with Kung Fu?"

"what exactly is it?"

"The method of distracting the mind!" Liu Xingyu slightly opened the corners of his lips and uttered a name.

At this moment, Zhang Fan's heart moved slightly and his breathing became a little heavy.

“However, the method of distraction is divided into two types: [small distraction] and [large distraction]…” Liu Xingyu said in a deep voice.

"Is there any difference?" Zhan Xinyue asked.

There are not many opportunities to expand one's horizons like this, let alone to meet the world's best master on a day off.

"I heard from the curator that the small split spirit is to split the original spirit into parts, the mysterious spirit is hidden, and it is as mysterious as a pill."

"This split part of the soul is called [Yuan Dan]."

"Yuan Dan? What's its use?" Zhang Fan couldn't help but ask.

"It is said that the [Yuan Dan] contains all the memories, emotions, experiences, etc. of the cultivator, which is equivalent to a backup of the Yuan Shen, but it itself has no consciousness and no mobility."

"Once the original soul of the main body is extinguished, the Yuandan can be awakened under special conditions, slowly grow, and become a new soul."

"Is this possible?" Sui Chunsheng and Zhan Xinyue seemed to have opened an unprecedented door in the mountain.

In their understanding, the soul is so profound and subtle that even the slightest increase in it could mean life or death.

However, the [small soul] in [Three Corpses Shining Life] can separate part of the soul and refine it into Yuandan. Even if the main soul is extinguished, the Yuandan can still transform into a new soul. It is incredible.

"In theory, as long as the soul is strong enough, it can be separated into enough Yuandan. However... every time a part of the soul is separated, the main body will become weak and it will take a long time to recover. Moreover, the risk is very high..."

The soul is delicate, and any increase or decrease may result in life or death. Separating the soul from the elixir may seem like a backup, but in fact it is a desperate attempt to survive.

No one can leave behind countless Yuandan. Being able to leave behind one Yuandan is already a great fortune and blessing from heaven.

"In addition, not all Yuandan can be revived when the main body is destroyed. It requires extremely special conditions. Even if it is revived, it will take a very long time to transform into a new Yuanshen."

When everyone heard this, they seemed to understand that although the small distraction is mysterious, it also has many limitations and risks.

Even so, it is extremely rare for someone to be able to master this method.

"Yuan Dan is also a rare treasure for other practitioners."

"What do you mean?" Zhang Fan couldn't help but ask.

"It contains a cultivator's lifelong memories, experiences, and knowledge...it is better than any secret manual of profound skills." A trace of desire flashed in Liu Xingyu's eyes.

For practitioners of Taoism, Yuandan and Agarwood have the same function, both of which can cleanse the soul and transform and sublime it.

However, the risks involved are also extremely huge. After all, the Yuan Dan contains countless memories, experiences, knowledge... It is as vast as the ocean, and the impact on the Yuan Shen can be imagined.

How much you can harvest from the vast ocean depends entirely on your luck. If you are not careful, you may end up at the bottom of the sea.

"In that case, this Yuandan is really a good thing."

"It's just a legend..." Liu Xingyu waved his hand.

Yuan Dan can only be refined by practicing [Small Fen Shen]. This method is so mysterious and dangerous that even if it is just the entry-level skill of [Three Corpses Illuminating Life], it is not something that ordinary people can practice, let alone truly refine Yuan Dan.

Therefore, this thing only exists in legend, and no one even knows what it looks like.

If there really is a Yuandan in this world, it must be the [Three Corpses Yuandan], which contains the entire life of the Three Corpses Taoist, and perhaps even the cultivation method of the [Three Corpses Zhaoming].

It is said that after the demons were wiped out in Jiazi that year, many masters searched all the mountains and rivers and Taoist temples in the world to find the [Three Corpses Yuandan] but failed.

“Logically speaking, a being like the Taoist Sanshi, who has mastered the [Three Corpses Guarding Life], would not leave a way out for himself…” Zhang Fan seemed to be thinking about something.

"The Three Corpses can tell one's fate. How mysterious it is. We only know one tenth of it. How dare we speak nonsense?" Liu Xingyu shook his head.

Sixty years have passed, and the Taoist Sanshi has long since turned into a handful of yellow earth, buried in the dust of time.

He can't come back from the dead.

"Are you so sure?" Sui Chunsheng couldn't help but ask.

"This requires mentioning the [Great Divine Division]." Liu Xingyu said in a deep voice.

"It is said that there are two types of Spirit Division: [Small Spirit Division] and [Great Spirit Division], and you can only practice one of them..."

"What is the Great Disciple?" Zhan Xinyue couldn't help but ask.

"I heard from the curator that the Great Divination is the core method of [Three Corpses Illuminating Life]. It can achieve immortality and glimpse into the realm of immortals on earth. It is ever-changing and full of mysteries..." Liu Xingyu murmured softly, with an undisguised fiery look in his eyes.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. What exactly is the Great Divine Priest?"

Sui Chunsheng's appetite was whetted, so he hurriedly urged.

"In fact, I don't know much about it. I just heard a senior from the sect mention it when I went back to Zhenwu Mountain once..."

"The [Great Dividing Spirit] in [Three Corpses Illuminating Life] can split the original spirit into three, one for good, the second for evil, and the third for evil..."

"One becomes three, three lives are endless, each one practices, sees the true destiny, kills the three corpses, and becomes an immortal."

Liu Xingyu looked at the three people, and his low humming voice resounded like thunder, stirring up huge waves in Zhang Fan's heart.
