Supreme Golden Palace

Chapter 110 Seven Apertures of the Heart (Part )
Since Zuo Tiancheng led his troops into the D Turkic tent, the Sui army had been training in the morning and camping in the evening.

The soldiers from each prefecture were well-disciplined and powerful. Between the camps, spears and halberds stood in rows, and flags blocked out the sun. Inside and outside the training grounds, there were also loud drums beating, the sound shaking all around, and the Hu people were frightened.

After Lu Shang became familiar with Zuo Tiancheng, he handed over all his troops to Zuo Tiancheng and asked Zuo Tiancheng to take charge of these soldiers.

Lü Shang still had great confidence in Zuo Tiancheng, the thirteenth hero of the Sui and Tang dynasties. With Zuo Tiancheng, a golden sword general, in charge of the army, he could rest assured and escape from the tedious military affairs.

Lu Shang was devoted to seeking the truth, not interested in fame and fortune, and had long been tired of military affairs.

However, it was different from when he was a secretary in the Secretariat. As a vanguard, although he had Wei Cheng and other generals to assist him, he still had little time to relax.

Now that Zuo Tiancheng has taken over military affairs, Lu Shang will finally be free from the tedious military affairs and can devote some of his energy to cultivation.

Inside the small tent, Lu Shang took out a roll of silk from his armor, carefully spread it out, and looked at the regular script on it.

"Seven-aperture exquisite heart casting technique!"

Thanks to the power of Tianyi True Water, he cleansed his flesh and blood, becoming a pure-blooded Gonggong. Relying on the resonance of the Great Water Element of the Mountains, Seas, and Wildernesses, he attained the body of a supreme being. Driven by this body of a supreme being, he instantly perfected 1,200 acupuncture points, bringing his physical cultivation close to that of an immortal.

However, Lu Shang's cultivation progressed too quickly, and it had already exceeded the scope of rapid progress. He needed time to settle down and sort out what he had learned.

However, before sorting out what he had learned, Lu Shang still wanted to try out this secret technique of heaven and man that he had been thinking about for a long time.

"A heart as exquisite as seven orifices," Lu Shang muttered to himself as he looked at the silk in front of him.

The beginning of this technique is that people need nine orifices to become immortals. The human body has a heart. The human heart corresponds to the image of fire on the outside and contains gods on the inside, just like chaos. One orifice is drilled every day, which is called the exquisite seven orifices.

Ever since Lü Shang obtained this "Seven Apertures Heart Casting Technique" in the Secretariat, he has read it no less than a hundred times and has already memorized its meaning.

Lu Shang was also envious of this exquisite mind that could observe the changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, fully comprehend the truth of the Tao and nature, and was like a clear mirror, immune to demonic obstacles, and able to reveal the way to the Tao.

But unfortunately, Lu Shang's cultivation was not enough at that time. With his real body, if he forced himself to practice such a dangerous secret technique, even if he was lucky enough not to die, he would suffer from various injuries and his vitality would be greatly damaged.

Today, Lu Shang's cultivation is far superior to what it was before. His body is close to that of an immortal, and his body is extremely powerful. This gives him the confidence to start practicing the Seven Apertures Heart.

After taking a final look at the scriptures, he took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and according to the opening of the 'Seven Apertures Heart Casting Technique', he immersed his mind into his body and explored the location of the heart acupoints.

One orifice is opened each day, and it takes seven days to complete. Once the Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart-Casting Technique is practiced, it cannot be interrupted. If the seven orifices cannot be opened at once, it will not only be of no benefit to the practitioner, but will be greatly harmful.

Lu Shang calmed down and entered a state of darkness and confusion. At the same time, the acupoints all over Lu Shang's body opened up, and three thousand gods surrounded him, as if they were activated by the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart Casting Technique he practiced. Above the Purple River, a sea of ​​clouds surged.

The mysteries of heaven and earth also changed at this moment.

------

Southwest of Baidaochuan, Yunneizhou,
Yunnei Prefecture was called Yunzhong City in all dynasties. In order to avoid the name of Yang Zhong, the father of Emperor Yang Jian, Yunzhong was changed to Yunnei.

It is sixteen miles around Yunzhong, eighty miles north of Yinshan Mountain, and one hundred miles south of Tongmo Great Wall. It is Baidaochuan.

Within the Zen courtyard of Lingjue Temple, the largest Buddhist temple in Yunnei Prefecture, two living Buddhas sit cross-legged, their Dharma eyes illuminating the white river. This temple was built by Fu Jian, the Former Qin Dynasty during the Sixteen Kingdoms period. Fu Jian was a devout Buddhist and strongly supported its development. He once invited the eminent monk Kumarajiva from the Western Regions to preach. Lingjue Temple was where Kumarajiva stayed before entering the Central Plains from the Western Regions.

Because of its connection with holy monks like Kumarajiva, Lingjue Temple is extremely famous in Yunzhong.

"Brother, have you ever seen anyone causing strange phenomena above the Purple River?"

As soon as the strange phenomenon appeared in Baidaochuan, Jnanabuda noticed it and said softly.

"Vision?"

Nalintiriyeshe had a bitter look on his face. He looked into the distance with his Dharma Eye and shook his head, saying, "My cultivation is not yet profound, far inferior to that of my junior brother. I did not notice anything unusual about the Purple River. But since you have noticed it, I believe there must be a cause and condition."

Jānajutā nodded slightly, his eyes deep, as if he wanted to penetrate the endless void and see all the changes in the heavens and the earth in Zihe.

After a long while, he slowly said, "Brother, this is not an ordinary phenomenon. It is caused by someone practicing supernatural powers. This person has a great affinity with my Buddha."

Nalintilayeshe frowned and asked, "Why do you say that, brother?"

"Although there are many Buddhist temples and believers in the Baidaochuan area, I have never heard of anyone who has cultivated such supernatural powers. If it is true as my junior brother said, this person must be extraordinary. I just don't know his identity or what kind of method he practices."

Jnanajuta smiled slightly, clasped his hands together, and said, "Brother, I already know the method he practices, and I also know who he is. This person has a deep connection with my Buddha."

"It seems that Junior Brother's Taoism has improved again."

Seeing that Jnanagupta knew the cause and effect of everything, Nalintiriyesa praised him.

Jnanajuta, a second-level Arhat, has eliminated eighty-eight kinds of view-related delusions in the Three Realms. Although he is still in the Three Realms, he will no longer fall into the evil paths. He is essentially different from ordinary Arhats.

Just like the Taoist earth immortals who have not experienced thunder disasters and those who have experienced thunder disasters, the magical powers are almost as different as heaven and earth.

It was precisely because of the profound Buddhist teachings of Jnanagupta that the imperial teacher Tanyan personally went to Daxingshan Temple to invite him out of the temple and come to Yunnei Prefecture to preach the Dharma.

Jnanajuta raised his eyes slightly, his gaze seemed to transcend the boundaries of time and space, and he said softly: "Brother, this person has an extraordinary origin. Although he is someone with a predestined relationship with our Buddha, it is not easy to get him to convert to the Three Jewels."

Nalintiriyesa clasped his hands together, his appearance solemn and dignified, and said slowly, "Brother, since we know that he has a connection with the Buddha, and we also know his earthly identity, we should, with great compassion, try to convert him."

Jianajuduo lowered his eyes and said, "Brother, this man is no one else but the nephew of the Sui Emperor. He defeated Sha Po Lang's three-star destiny and won the martial arts exam. He was awarded the title of vanguard of the Northern Expedition Army. He is Lü Shang and Lü Feixiong."

Upon hearing this, Nalintiriyesa's solemn face flickered with surprise, and he slowly chanted, "Amitabha, so it is the donor Lu Shang. This child has achieved such unparalleled merits in the world, and possesses such wisdom. He is truly a rare person with Buddhist affinity."

Jhanajutu nodded, his eyes showing a hint of anticipation, and said: "Brother, you don't know that the method that Mr. Lu practices is called the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart. It looks like a Taoist method, but in fact it is mixed with the Buddhist scriptures."

"My Buddhist sect, Vaisravana, has a golden pagoda with exquisitely carved relics and a wish-fulfilling sariras, given by the Buddha. It is the exquisite Zen mind, which he uses to subdue the Narajnaparamita."
