Wet viviparity

Chapter 545: Earth Lung, in Action
On June 12th, Taishan Yuanjun’s birthday was celebrated with a duel. This news was originally circulated between Haiyin Temple and Heguan, but as time went by, it inevitably leaked out.

The leak came from more than one source. It spread to the Western Wilderness, the south of the sky, the coast of the East China Sea, south of Liling Mountain, and even to the Tianteng Mountain area in the Southern Wilderness, becoming a major event that attracted attention from far and near.

Because of this matter, the upper government sent an imperial decree to the Shushi Cave on Yuping Peak in Yanxu Mountain, inquiring about Ji Ming's situation and whether the upper government needed to intervene.

For this purpose, Ji Ming made a detailed investigation and found that the Lord of the Blood Forest and Wusizang were calling on friends everywhere in the Western Wilderness. Also, south of Liling, Meng Nan was working very hard to establish connections and build momentum for the battle between the Son of Chi and the God.

As for other places, I don’t know who is spreading this matter.

In the two months before June 12, letters were sent to Haiyin Temple in Baibaoshan in response to his invitation.

Among them are Master Qianhuan from the South China Sea, Master Kongyou from the Tianhu Temple on Mount Tai, and even Monk Yuji who is practicing at the place of the nun of Baotuo Mountain in Shangzhoukou Bay, Jinning, Baoguang Prefecture. They have all agreed to come and help.

"Everything is ready!"

In the Shushi Cave on Yuping Peak, Ji Ming stood barefoot on the Taiyin Sulian, his thoughts clear.

He inhaled the essence of the Gangfeng in the relic bottle into his body in one breath, and after harmonizing it with the Gangfeng breathing method, it continued to nourish his Taoist organ, the Cloud Hand Lung. Then he held the relic bottle under the Huigen bamboo in his palm.

He shook the relic bottle and found that the essence of the Gangfeng inside had been almost used up. His soul left his body and went to the South Gate of Heaven, where he collected another bottle of essence.

After doing all this, Ji Ming slowly stepped on the white lotus and flew out of the Shushi Cave. Along the way, he admired the mountain scenery. Occasionally, through the clouds, he could see a few woodcutters collecting firewood on the hidden paths in the mountains, talking and laughing.

We flew slowly all the way and arrived at the small blessed land of Luoxi behind Heguan without disturbing anyone. We drifted along the winding stream of the small blessed land and arrived at the Diaolongtan in the center.

Back then, the elder brother of the temple's founder, the immortal Ziming, fished a white dragon here. He then unhooked the fish, bowed, and let it go. Only then did he get the white fish. He took the Taoist book from its belly and learned the method of taking it.

At that time, the immortal Ziming was still a mortal. He had never entered the Tao and had no Taoist skills at all. It can be seen that catching the white dragon is truly the most wonderful fate in the world.

Later, Heshan Patriarch built a temple here, and the immortal Ziming used his great magical powers to move the small blessed land here.

After that, the world changed dramatically over the years. Until another disciple from Heguan, who was determined and sincere, tried to imitate the immortal Ziming with great perseverance in front of the pond and caught a dragon. From then on, he was favored by the immortal Ziming, led to the immortal's Taoist temple to practice, and soared into the sky.

This former disciple of Heguan is today's Jiafeng Dragon Diaoweng.

In this pool, the stagnant water is only slightly rippling, with no sign of living water at all. Occasionally, a few bubbles appear, and a foul smell emanates from the bubbles.

Su Lian held Ji Ming and lowered him to the surface of the pool. Under the mysterious power of Su Lian's purification, streams of clear springs leaped out from cracks in the rocks, carrying the green shadows of pine needles into the blue waves of the pool, startling the scales of the water and shattering the shadows of the clouds above the pool.

The waterweeds at the bottom of the pond stretch their legs with the undercurrent, and dragonflies break the surface of the water, creating ripples like tree rings. With the tinkling sounds, the entire Diaolongtan Pond comes alive.

Unfortunately, this is only temporary. Once Su Lian leaves the pond, the source of this small paradise - Diaolongtan, will once again become a stagnant pool of water, irreversibly heading towards its end and turning into mortal soil.

However, he did not come to save the small blessed land, but to temporarily activate the water in the pond, just to allow the Yin God to escape from the pond to the Yin Sha Lingxue, wander in the earth veins, go deep under the earth lungs, and move the fire and feng shui below in advance.

You must know that since the creation of the world, the land has been solid, and the four major spiritual forces of earth, fire, wind and water have each settled in their own way. They are no longer as active as when they were first created.

In this way, in order to revive the earth fire and feng shui where the earth lung is located under the blessed land, even if it is only a tiny inch of heaven and earth, it will require tremendous magical power.

The activating earth, fire, and Feng Shui had already been in operation in Xishan more than ten years ago when they decided to use it on Yang Qian. Later, Linshuijun set up a unique formation in Difei to activate the earth, fire, and Feng Shui.

Ji Ming came here this time to make the final arrangements.

In the golden elixir in the Dantian in the lower abdomen, the Yin Spirit, like a misty shadow, slowly rises, breaks out from the Niwan Palace, and jumps into the three flowers on the top of the head.

The Yin spirit took the talisman in the three flowers and looked at it. He saw the red clouds of the echoing ghost Yin body in the talisman. He nodded secretly and said, "The Wuchao Worm Fire Samadhi is the meditation method of [Observation]. You have passed the two states of "birth joy" and "extinction joy". In this way, you have eliminated the five aggregates and realized the selfless mind in the first fruit of Sotapanna. If you return to the soul now, you will give it up, polish the flesh body for a few years, and enlighten the flesh body's navel chakra. You can easily achieve the first fruit."

"What do you mean, sir? Please tell me clearly."

The Echo Ghost was unsettled and asked with his hands clasped together.

"Although the Wuchao Wormfire Samadhi is mysterious, even if one cultivates to the final third state, the joy of impermanence, and stabilizes the mind of non-self, one still ends up at the attainment of the second fruit, the "Srotapanna fruit".

You and I have had a good relationship for decades. A few days ago, I silently practiced my spiritual power, looked around, and finally got a good fortune for you.

This hexagram shows that your future in Buddhism is here. Just follow my instructions and wait here quietly, and you will be able to enjoy the supreme meditation method. One day you may attain the "Anagami Fruit" and go to paradise.

"master."

The Echo Ghost was not happy, and hesitated for a while before saying, "I have already mastered the Wuchao Wormfire Meditation, and even practiced the Nirvana Rebirth Technique. How can I practice other techniques so easily now? Wouldn't that go against the master's wishes?"

“Haha, when I gave you this skill, I really coveted its ability to help people achieve Nirvana, and I wanted to leave a way out for myself.

But now I have achieved half-immortal status. The ability of Nirvana that you, Wuchao Wuhuoding, have cultivated now will hardly have any miraculous effect on me.

If you miss this wonderful opportunity, it will be gone. The ability you have cultivated to attain Nirvana may be of some benefit to you in addition to this wonderful opportunity."

As Ji Ming spoke, he jumped out from the three flowers on top of his head. The Yin Spirit made a move towards the relic bottle, from which he summoned the "Seven-Shaped Poison Yuanbao Banner", which he used to support the Yin Spirit. He then led the Echo Ghost and escaped into the pool of water.

In the depths of this pool of water, escaping from the dried-up Yinsha Spirit Cave, one arrives at the thin, thread-like ground veins. Both the spirit cave and the ground veins now show signs of being on the verge of extinction.

The underground veins were originally the lifeline of the underworld, but now that the veins are weak, the underworld below naturally no longer exists, and the underworld troops there have long since moved to other sacred mountains.

Ji Ming's Yin spirit followed the earth veins all the way down and soon found a very deep place underground. He gradually felt a burning heat in his soul and was delighted, knowing that he was close to the lungs of the earth under the blessed ground.

At this time, the earth veins seemed to be there and not there, just like the thin smoke rising from a dying candle, which seemed to be extinguished in an instant. Ji Ming went down to explore the earth's lungs, and it was all thanks to the traction of the earth veins that he was able to escape to the deepest part of the earth's lungs in the blessed land.

He didn't dare to be careless at all, for fear of disturbing the earth's veins.

Below this, there is a hot rock cave with an area of ​​more than a hundred acres. There are roaring winds and fire, hot rocks are rushing, and red light is shining. When the Yin spirit enters it, it feels like being exposed to the sun for ten days.

In that hot rock river, there is an altar every few meters.

The altar was shaped like an iron nail about ten feet long, sharp at the top and bottom. It stood tall and nailed the long river of hot rocks below.

The wind, fire and hot rocks in this cavity are the result of the activation of the earth, fire and feng shui over the past decade.

Those iron nail altars that look like isolated peaks are the unique formations set up by Lord Linshui. They are used to activate spiritual energy as well as suppress it, to maintain the balance under the earth's lungs, and to prevent the earth, fire, feng shui from becoming unbalanced and erupting prematurely.

Ji Ming knew clearly that he was standing on a powder keg that could blow up the small blessed land at any time.

The powerful power of the soul swept through the cavity, pulling out the iron nail altars one by one. Every time a nail was pulled out, magma would gush out like a spring, and a loud sound like thunder rolled under the magma river, which made Ji Ming tremble with fear.

After sending several talismans towards the hole, the thunder-like sound gradually became smaller.

After handing the Seven-Shaped Poison Yuanbao Pagoda to Echo Ghost, he gave him a few careful instructions, telling him to wait here with peace of mind. His Yin Spirit returned to his physical body in Tan Shang, and he silently calculated that by mid-June, the Earth Lung could be detonated at any time by him.
