Pure Yang!

Chapter 85: The best in the world, three corpses guarding life (5k chapter)

The red candle flame never goes out, Xuanyin refines the soul.

In the East Suburbs Cemetery, turbid negative energy gathered from all directions and ignited the white candles around Xiong Ba. At the same time, the red candle in front of him burned brighter.

This red candle represents his original soul.

The Yinshan School gathers Yin energy from all directions to refine the spirit, and when Yin reaches its extreme, Yang is born, which is an alternative form of mysterious cultivation.

Because of this, this lineage is often infected by wandering ghosts and witnesses life and death, and feels good and bad luck, which makes it quite mysterious.

"Xuan Yin refines the True Yang... The Yinshan Sect is indeed unique."

Zhang Fan hid in the dark and observed. With his current level of cultivation, he was able to make out some clues.

At this moment, wisps of Yin energy turned into Xiong Ba's stomach. His clothes fluttered violently, and scorching heat emanated from his back, and even the sweat evaporated into mist.

This is the phase of [refining yin into yang].

It should be noted that the "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" records that the abdomen is yin and the back is yang. If the yang is strong, the person will live long, while if the yang is weak, the person will die young.

Modern people, due to their living and eating habits, have a lot of moisture and coldness accumulated in their bodies, resulting in insufficient Yang energy, which in turn causes various health problems, such as uterine coldness and spleen deficiency, insomnia and acne in girls, hair loss and shortness of breath in boys, etc.

This is a manifestation of insufficient Yang Energy.

There is a health-preserving method in Taoism. If you are short of Yang energy, you can borrow it from the sky. That is, in summer, especially during the dog days, you can take off your clothes and sunbathe your back. By sunbathing your back, you can borrow energy from the sky, accumulate Yang energy, and force out the dampness and coldness accumulated in your body. Your body will naturally become light and healthy, and your face will become rosy and translucent. (Control the time and intensity, and be careful of sunburn)

This is like adding fuel to a fire, which can make the fire grow stronger and burn away all the evil dampness and coldness in the body.

Therefore, Chinese medicine also emphasizes "nourishing yang in spring and summer, the long summer overcomes winter". If you nourish enough yang in summer, you will not be easily sick in winter. This is the reason for treating winter diseases in summer.

hum...

At this moment, the white candle flames around Xiong Ba began to tremble violently, and the red candle flame in front of him also became dim. The Yang energy emanating from his back could not last long and dispersed without condensing.

"Huh? He can't gather Yin energy?"

Zhang Fan was stunned for a moment, then he figured out the clue.

Although this kid practiced the authentic Yinshan method, he was unable to gather Yin energy for a long time, whether it was due to his talent or his body, and even the small amount of Yin energy he gathered had a very low conversion efficiency.

But no matter what the reason is, to put it bluntly, this kind of person has no talent for cultivation, at least they have no talent for cultivation in the Yinshan Method. Unlike Zhang Fan, he can make breakthroughs and make progress even by sleeping.

"Oh, it still doesn't work."

Xiong Ba stopped practicing. He looked at the dim red candlelight in front of him, sighed deeply, and looked extremely depressed.

He was born in the Xiong family of Yinshan, but because he had no talent and ability for cultivation, he could only take an elder from the Gu family as his master, Gu Yuming.

You know, although the Gu family and the Ming family are also part of the Yinshan sect, they are affiliated with the Xiong family.

In this case, Xiong Ba's situation is self-evident. He is unable to practice the most core method of the Xiong family.

The key point is that even Gu Yuming was unable to tame him. Instead, he suffered an accident a few days ago and has now completely turned into a vegetable and has not woken up yet.

Otherwise, Xiong Ba would not have run to the cemetery he feared the most, alone, early in the morning, and practiced martial arts in secret.

However, success lies in numerology, not hard work.

Some things are destined by nature and can't be solved by just working hard.

"I am indeed the scum of the Xiong family..." Xiong Ba hung his head in dejection.

As a disciple of the Yinshan Sect, he has no talent at all in the practice of his own sect. Not only can he not carry forward the sect's teachings, he can't even make any progress. It seems appropriate to describe him as a scum.

"Even if they have the same ancestor, there are individual differences." Zhang Fan sighed to himself.

The boy in front of him was far inferior to the Xiong Qianshan he met last night. Although the latter was nothing special, he seemed to be an elite in comparison.

If you compare goods, you will have to throw them away, if you compare people with others, you will die.

Seeing this, Zhang Fan lost interest and turned around to leave.

"The talisman and the message, the benevolent light shines on the nine springs. The three souls pay homage to God, the seven spirits listen to the spirit chapter..."

At this moment, a faint chanting voice could be heard.

"Um!?"

Zhang Fan stopped to look, and saw that Xiong Ba was muttering something, as if he had changed his magic power. He formed seals with his hands, holding nine and one vertical, which was the [Lion Seal].

"This is not the magic of Yinshan!" Zhang Fan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but look at the young man in front of him again.

This kid was born in a Yinshan family, but he was secretly practicing his own magic! ?
"The three evil paths are freed from the long night, the five sufferings are all resolved. The waves in the sea of ​​sins are all calmed, and the Dharma is heard and one reaches the human and heavenly realms..."

As the faint chanting sounded, the white candlelight suddenly jumped, and Yin energy from all directions surged and gathered, purifying Xiong Ba's body and suddenly turned into light and ethereal energy, which merged into his body.

At the same time, there seemed to be the sound of chanting around him. In a trance, it seemed that countless dead souls appeared, worshiping devoutly and listening to the teachings.

"This is……"

"Taiyi Du is dead, Yinshan's nemesis!?" Zhang Fan's eyes were fixed as if he couldn't believe it.

It should be known that all living beings in the world cannot escape the suffering of birth and death. As long as they can achieve nirvana, they will want to be reborn in paradise.

Since Buddhism belongs to the Western Geng and Xin metal religions, it particularly emphasizes the Western Paradise. Our Taoism belongs to the Eastern Jia and Yi wood religions, so it particularly emphasizes the Eastern Pure Land of Eternal Life and Bliss.

The "Three Officials Sutra" says that there is a world of eternal joy in the gate of salvation in the eastern heaven, where there is only heaven but no hell. It is a good place for spiritual practice, which can enable people to escape from hell and avoid the cycle of life and death in the four births and six paths, leave suffering forever, go directly to the human world, be reborn in the Pure Land, and have infinite happiness, without any worries or hindrances when going there and coming back.

This is what Taoism calls the Eastern Pure Land of Eternal Bliss - the Dongji Miaoyan Palace.

This is also the dojo of [Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun], the master of the nine-headed divine lion.

Taiyi Method, the art of saving the dead, is based on the [Taiyi Savior of Suffering Heavenly Venerable] as the master of the method. It can eliminate evil karma, calm the turbidity of the underworld, save the souls of the dead, and suppress evil spirits...

This lineage is the nemesis of the Yinshan Sect.

Zhang Fan never imagined that this young man from the Yinshan Sect with no talent at all was secretly practicing the art of salvation from the Taiyi Method.

Among the thousands of Taoist sects, the reputation of Taiyi method is no less than that of Beidi method.

However, similarly, over the long course of time, this lineage also seemed mysterious and unpredictable, gradually fading away until it disappeared, and there were only three or five people in the world who had received the true teachings.

"Where did this kid learn this from?" Zhang Fan muttered.

He felt that the Taiyi Death Technique looked very familiar, but he was sure... he had never seen it before.

Previously, he had only seen relevant records in the [Secret Records of Taoism], which said that if one could achieve 10% of the salvation of the dead, one could transform into countless ghosts and monsters with great magical powers and unpredictable might.

Zhang Fan could only envy this secret method.

He knew that such magic could not be touched without good fortune, and he might not even be able to see it.

Obviously, the young man in front of him was the destined one, and he had received the true teachings from someone.

It is a great blessing for Zhang Fan to be able to see it with his own eyes today.

"Cough cough..."

At this moment, Zhang Fan's heart moved, he coughed twice, and walked out from behind a tombstone.

"Who...ghost or human?"

Xiong Ba was like a frightened bird, and immediately woke up from his state of cultivation. His eyes were as big as bells, emitting lightning-fast shrewdness, and his ears were erect like antennas. Following the suspicious sound, he stared at Zhang Fan intently.

"You... who are you?" Xiong Ba asked with great vigilance, his panicked look revealing the guilt of a thief.

"Are you a disciple of Yinshan Sect?" Zhang Fan narrowed his eyes and looked up and down at Xiong Ba.

"Nonsense...I'm not." Xiong Ba said with a red face.

"Not only do I know that you are a disciple of the Yinshan Sect, I also know your last name." Zhang Fan said with a smile.

"Surname...what's your surname?"

Xiong Ba said in a panic, implying that he had already admitted the fact that he was a disciple of the Yinshan Sect.

"Either his surname is Ming or Gu."

"Hahaha, you don't even think before you brag?" Xiong Ba couldn't help but laugh when he heard Zhang Fan's guess.

"So your last name is Xiong."

"..."

"You...how do you know?" Xiong Ba stammered, with doubt in his eyes.

"Tsk tsk... The disciple of the Yinshan Xiong family is practicing the Taiyi Death Art. He is quite good."

"You...don't talk nonsense." A hint of panic flashed in Xiong Ba's eyes.

"You don't admit it? How about asking your family members to recognize you?" Zhang Fan threatened.

"Don't...don't..." Xiong Ba stood up suddenly and waved his hands.

"Hehe, I'll eat this secret for the rest of my life."

Zhang Fan looked at Xiong Ba's panicked expression and couldn't help but laugh. There seemed to be a voice ringing in his heart.

"Where did you learn the Taiyi Death Technique?" Zhang Fan changed the subject and asked.

"This..." Xiong Ba hesitated, looking embarrassed. "Your family..."

"I tell you..." Xiong Ba's face changed slightly and he quickly interrupted Zhang Fan.

"I...I started learning this when I was a kid, when I was worshipping my ancestors...I learned it in the ancestral hall at home." Xiong Ba said through gritted teeth.

"Ah? Your family's ancestral hall?" Zhang Fan had a strange look on his face.

"There is a ghost under our ancestral hall... a very ferocious ghost... he secretly taught me my skills..." Xiong Ba said in a low voice.

"A very ferocious ghost?" Zhang Fan thought.

The Yinshan School's art of refining Yin and controlling ghosts is unique in the world. It is said that they can use the art of moving things, borrow ghosts to gain power, seek good fortune and avoid disaster, and save life and escape death.

"That ghost... secretly taught me this method, saying that if I practice this method, a great opportunity will be waiting for me in the future..."

"He also said..." Xiong Ba hesitated, wanting to say something more.

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

"He also said... after practicing this method, the Xiong family will be mine in the future."

"Huh!?" Zhang Fan was stunned.

"It's all nonsense... You can't believe it..." Xiong Ba shook his head.

His status in the Xiong family can be seen from his name.

In the Xiong family of Yinshan, all direct disciples are named according to their generation name. The direct disciples of this generation are all named according to the Qian generation name, such as Xiong Qianxing and Xiong Qianshan.

However, he was not a direct descendant, and even his master was an elder selected from the Gu family. This showed how marginal his position in the Xiong family was, not to mention that he had no talent or ability in the Yinshan lineage's magic.

According to convention, people like this usually go out and start their own business shortly after reaching adulthood, and after two or three generations they no longer have much to do with the Xiong family.

In fact, Ming Yunxia’s grandfather Ming Chengjun was in the same situation, but he was lucky. After leaving the Ming family, he achieved something else and even comprehended the Ming family’s unique skill, the Ghost Gate Divine Needle.

"You... don't tell anyone else, otherwise if my family finds out, I'll be dead." Xiong Ba couldn't help but look at Zhang Fan, almost begging.

He always felt that the man who suddenly appeared in front of him was not a good person, and he was not a good person at all.

"Don't be afraid... I also know a little about Taiyi Deadly Art, but since I see that you are not practicing it correctly, I can't help but want to give you some guidance." Zhang Fan changed the subject and showed a kind smile.

"You understand too?" Xiong Ba was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhang Fan suspiciously.

"You don't believe it?" Zhang Fan glanced at him and said, "If you don't believe it, tell me all the Taiyi Death Techniques you practiced, and I will verify it with you."

"it is good."

Xiong Ba nodded, thinking that this was indeed a good idea. He immediately sat cross-legged and discussed the matter face to face with Zhang Fan.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye the sun rises in the east and it is already past eight in the morning.

Rumble…

A turbid and dark air was surging in the sky above the East Suburb Cemetery. However, it turned into a light and ethereal air amidst the sound of Xuanyin's chanting, floating in the air like clouds and dissipating like illusion.

"He...he really can do it...and he's much better than me..."

At this time, Xiong Ba was standing in the distance, staring blankly at Zhang Fan who had already entered a state of meditation, with an incredible look in his eyes. This man really did not lie to him.

"Am I really a genius? I can achieve such a miraculous result in my first practice?"

At this moment, there was a voice in Zhang Fan's heart calling out that he had only borrowed some of the methods revealed by Xiong Ba and, after a few attempts, he had actually gotten started.

It should be noted that the Taiyi method is famous and its difficulty is not less than that of the Beidi method.

In the beginning, Zhang Fan spent a lot of hard work to practice the Beidi Method, but today, when he only came into contact with the Taiyi Method for the first time, he was able to get started directly. The speed was so fast that he felt it was a little unreal.

"Could it be that I was really born to practice Taoism?!"

As soon as a thought arose, Zhang Fan hurriedly calmed his mind, put aside distracting thoughts, and silently digested some of the methods that Xiong Ba had just taught him.

"The Qinghua Miaoyan Palace in the East, purple mist and rosy clouds permeate the sky. Thousands of lotus flowers reflect the throne, and a nine-headed lion emerges from the clouds..."

Mysterious sounds were curling up as if coming from the void. Zhang Fan formed seals with his hands, standing still. A strange fragrance surged around his body, and the true yang in his body was surging. He even roared like a lion, shaking all directions.

"Taiyi saves people from suffering and resolves dangers of death... He is so good at it..." Xiong Ba's eyes widened. He no longer viewed Zhang Fan as a bad guy. There was actually a look of awe and worship in his eyes.

Only those with great compassion in their hearts can master this method and save all the dead souls.

……

At the same time, in the Xiong Family Ancestral Hall.

An old man with gray hair was burning incense and worshipping the ancestor...

Suddenly, an old jar on the top of the shrine began to shake violently. There were talismans stuck on it and it was surrounded by chains, connected to the ancestral tablets.

hum...

At this moment, the candle flame in front of the ancient jar suddenly jumped up, the flame became bright and shining.

"What's going on?" The white-haired old man suddenly stood up and stared at the dancing flames. A hint of horror flashed in his turbid eyes.

But after a few moments, the old jar returned to its normal state, the flames gradually faded, and it returned to its previous state.

"Father……"

At this time, a man in Taoist clothes walked out from outside the ancestral hall with a serious look on his face. He walked up to the old man and bowed to him.

"It's been ten years...that evil spirit has made any unusual movements?" Xiong Guanchen's old brows almost turned into a "川" shape.

"Ten years of good fortune... Xiong Sanqi said back then that this evil spirit could bring ten years of good fortune to our Xiong family. Could something unexpected be happening now?!" Xiong Baoping couldn't help but say as he stroked his old man.

Xiong Sanqi is a fellow disciple of his generation. Although he is not a direct descendant, he is undoubtedly the strongest among the three generations of the Xiong family.

However, in his early years, he left this ferocious beast in the Xiong family and never heard from him again.

Back then, Xiong Sanqi once said that keeping this evil spirit could help the Xiong family have great fortune for the next ten years. If anyone acted rashly, they would be punished by heaven, and the family would be ruined and killed.

His action was equivalent to repaying the Xiong family for their kindness in raising him, and from then on he cut off the relationship with them.

"Xiong Sanqi... He is indeed a monster. He is not a direct descendant but he has become the strongest..."

"In the past hundred years, no one in my Xiong family can match him... It's a pity that he cannot be used by my Xiong family." Xiong Guanchen couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, he is Xiong Sanqi's biological uncle, but unfortunately this nephew has been a cause for worry since he was a child. He wandered around in his early years and made friends with many people he should not have met.

"Back then, he followed that man and traveled all over the southeast, conquering seven provinces without any rivals... How much trouble did he cause?"

Xiong Baoping subconsciously glanced at the ancient jar at the highest point of the shrine.

"Dad, if he were still in our Xiong family today, troubles would ensue."

At this point, Xiong Baoping moved his lips and said, "There have always been rumors in the outside world that the man was from Wuwei Sect and was the descendant of Sanshi Taoist from another world."

As soon as these words were spoken, the quiet ancestral hall instantly fell into silence, like a bottomless cold pond, without a single ripple.

After a moment, Xiong Guanchen let out a long sigh and shook his gray head.

"Won't……"

"Why?" Xiong Baoping couldn't help but ask.

"That man has cultivated the most evil in the world, the Holy Embryo of Gods and Demons...but the Taoist Sanshi is not..."

"Do you know why Taoist Sanshi was able to become the world's number one master eighty years ago?" Xiong Guanchen changed the subject and told a secret of the past.

"Why?" Xiong Baoping couldn't help but ask.

"Because he is practicing the world's number one skill..."

"Three corpses are watching over my life!!!"

"If that man is the descendant of the Three Corpses Taoist, he must practice this method..." Xiong Guanchen sighed softly.

The Holy Embryo of Gods and Demons and the Three Corpses Illuminating Life are both legendary inner alchemy methods.

However, the Three Corpses' Life-saving Skill is known as the greatest feat in the world.

In that year, during the Jiazi year, the Taoist Sanshi fought with Chu Chaoran on the top of Mount Dongyue and died in the battle. From then on, this method became extinct and could no longer be seen in the vast world.

"Is this method so powerful?!"

Even Xiong Baoping, the head of the Bear family, had never heard of such a secret.

"Being number one in the world is no joke. His number one status is not only about his strength, but also about his destiny..."

"About fate?"

"That's right... The universe is so vast, and there is only one person in the world who can master this method..."

"That person must be the best in the world!"

"Number one in the world, with three corpses guarding his life!?" Xiong Baoping's eyes were unfocused, and he muttered the name.
