I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 73 Fox Outing
Soon, essence, energy and spirit converged at the lower dantian. Dong Ye Yu immediately used true fire to refine them according to the method given by the method.

The real fire here is not the plasma flame in real life, but an abstract expression and a pseudonym.

True fire represents the energy in the heart, the yin in the yang, like Kun entering Qian to become Li, yang on the outside and yin on the inside, hard on the outside and soft on the inside, Qian on the outside and Kun on the inside, it can also be called Li fire.

After the essence, energy and spirit are combined in the Dantian, in a state of sitting and forgetting oneself, one can also maintain the mind and keep the essence, energy and spirit from running wild. This is what it means to refine the magic power.

It looks simple, but it is quite difficult to do. After all, how can you maintain your mind when you are in the state of meditation and forgetting?

To grasp the true meaning of this, without the correct Dharma and the help of a master, ordinary practitioners may gain nothing even after spending decades exploring.

This is a statement I saw in an ancient travelogue that I found online before. The author was probably also confused, and his writing was full of resentment.

Dong Ye Yu didn't find it difficult. After a quick try, he felt like it was a natural thing.

It was probably because he had the talent of a banished immortal, and the Sutra of Purity and Tranquility helped him when he first started to meditate.

After that, I practiced diligently and now I have been able to sit in meditation for more than ten years. It has become as good at it as eating and drinking. It would be strange if I encountered difficulties.

Slowly, Dong Ye Yu, who was still able to observe himself with a trace of mind, discovered a ray of light appeared in his lower dantian, which was filled with energy, and he felt something in his heart.

This is the power.

The inanimate true qi can be refined into the magical power contained in the divine will. After that, the magical power can be circulated at all times, drawing inspiration from heaven and earth to nourish the body. If a mortal reaches this stage, his lifespan can be increased by sixty years.

As for performing various magical powers and spells, they are just by-products brought about by magic power.

Generally speaking, only when you have magical powers can you truly embark on the path to immortality.

As his essence, energy and spirit were gradually refined by the fire, Dongye Yu felt that his consciousness was solidifying and growing at an astonishing speed, as if he had entered a mysterious realm, and his mind was clearer than ever before.

First it was the mind, then the body, as if the wind would blow and they would soar up to the fairyland of Yaochi.

Is this what it means to have a ghost spirit appear?
Dong Ye Yu was well aware of this process, so he was not panicked. He waited for a moment, and when he felt the time was right, he stood up.

Suddenly, everything in front of my eyes turned white. Maybe my Yin Spirit was coming out of my eyes?

This is consistent with the description of Zhongli Quan, the founder of Zhengyang.

In the blink of an eye, the white light disappeared, and the familiar rental house appeared before my eyes.

The lights were off in the room and it was a little dark. A refreshing night breeze blew in from the window. Occasionally, the sound of cars passing by could be heard on the road not far away. The bright city lights and the warm moonlight shone together in the room. One could clearly see a tall and handsome young man leaning against the window with a calm and contented look on his face.

Am I an immortal now?
Dongye Yu felt that things were going so smoothly that it was a little strange, but when he thought about it, he found it very reasonable.

I had already completed the foundation eight years ago. In the following eight years, I practiced diligently and worked hard. My consciousness was refined by the essence of the sun and the moon every day. My true energy is strong, I am full of energy, and my foundation is solid.

And if you still can’t succeed in practicing the great and righteous Dharma, then forget it.

After figuring it out, Dongye Yu began to observe his own body from the perspective of the Yin God - this is probably the first thing that most practitioners who have reached the Yin God realm will do.

I'm so handsome?

He walked around his body, observing it in amazement.

No wonder those white-collar beauties are willing to sacrifice their reputation to get close to him. Who can resist this?

Higashino Yu felt that this perspective was unprecedented and novel, but his own perspective seemed to have suddenly become much shorter.

I glanced down and saw a pair of furry paws.

Turning his head again, he found a fluffy white fox tail like a cloud appeared behind him, which looked no different from a real thing.

Why does my Yin Spirit still look like a fox?

I thought that he would also transform into human form with the ability of shapeshifting.

Dong Ye Yu squatted in front of his body and pondered for two seconds, remembering a Taoist canon he had read before.

The general meaning is that although the Yin Spirit can walk the streets and act as a swindler, it has no ability to change or move its physical body. What is the soul, that is what the Yin Spirit is.

In this way, being able to transform the physical body is already the best it can be. It seems unrealistic to require it to transform the soul as well - to transform the soul, one would probably have to use one of Sun Wukong's seventy-two transformations.

But it’s better this way. Ordinary demon hunters cannot see through their own transformed forms. So when they encounter their real body in the future and it’s inconvenient to take action, they can use their Yin spirit to leave their body and do it.

Dong Ye Yu looked around the room for a while, then jumped out of the window. On the street, he did feel a sense of freedom and happiness.

I was in high spirits as I sightseeed along the way, gradually forgetting about time and space.

When Dong Yeyu came to his senses, he found himself in an unfamiliar street.

This street is very strange. It does not belong to any block in modern Tokyo. Instead, it looks more like the streets of an ancient island country in a Taiga drama.

The buildings are not high, mostly three or four stories high, with wooden bridges connecting the flight of stairs in the middle. Red silk lanterns are hung everywhere, and passers-by are all wearing Wu costumes and wooden clogs, making the place very lively.

Although these passers-by all walk upright, they all have more or less animal appearance characteristics.

Some have dog heads and dog legs but human hands, some have cow heads and cow hooves but no human hands, and some have only animal heads while the rest of their body parts look like humans.

And they all have one thing in common—they are filled with evil spirit.

Oh no, could it be that I have arrived at the monster’s lair?
Dong Ye Yu's heart skipped a beat, and then he realized, Am I not a monster?

It seems that he still can't let go of his human mentality. He smiled self-deprecatingly and was about to blend into the crowd and stroll around this monster street when a young man in tattered Wu clothing suddenly ran over from the side of the street, picked up Dong Ye Yu and ran away.

Dong Yeyu was confused. What was going on? A fox dealer?

Just as he was about to ask, he noticed from the corner of his eye that other people on the street were also hiding to the sides of the street like the young man, so he calmed down.

Soon, a group of monsters dressed in gorgeous clothes, with tall hats and wide belts, holding ceremonial objects in their hands and carrying sedan chairs on their shoulders slowly walked over.

Golden wind chimes were hung around the sedan chair, and a huge shadow could be seen behind the brocade curtain, giving it a majestic and terrifying aura.

As if sensing someone observing him, the deity in the sedan chair cast its gaze over here, and the sound of its bells and ornaments jingled.

Dong Ye Yu quickly looked away. Although he had already begun to enter the Yin Spirit, he still felt a long way off. However, it was much better than before when he was still in the stage of refining essence into Qi and would tremble all over when he saw a god.

Dong Ye Yu guessed that one would have to reach the state of returning to the void to be able to confront these gods.

After the procession of ceremonial guards had gone far away, the young man with a raccoon-like head and a leaf on his head finally breathed a sigh of relief: "That is the water god of Hishizawa. He has a strange temper. If you offend him, you will be dead!"

"Where did you come from, you monster? How dare you come to Hishizawa before you even learned how to transform?"

Where is Hishizawa? Higashino Yu poked his head out of the boy's arms and looked around, "I'm from Tokyo. What time is it now?"

"Tokyo? You mean Edo? Hishizawa is far away from Edo, more than a hundred miles away, over there."

The young man pointed to the west, then counted on his fingers: "Now, it seems to be the hour of Yin?"

"Fuck, is the sun going to rise soon?"

Hearing the boy's words, Dongye Yu hurriedly jumped out of his arms and ran all the way to the west. It took him a long time to see the lights of Tokyo.

I spent some time looking at a map in a square and returned to the apartment shortly before sunrise.

The Yin spirit quickly returned to the body, and the physical body came to life and woke up.

As soon as he woke up, Dong Ye Yu opened the photo album of his benefactor and jumped up.

I'm super!

I forgot to ask that monster boy what his name was and where he lived!
