Starting from the Tiger Demon Yaksha, the demon immortality

Chapter 141 Chapter 140 Can illusions also be slaughtered?

“There won’t be a next time.”

Taiyi quickly adjusted his mood and pretended to scold him. Li Cunxiao lowered his head very consciously.

"Most people in the world only think of elixirs and magic treasures as external objects."

"Most people respect alchemists simply because they believe it's a convenient method that can prevent the erosion of evil spirits and help their cultivation progress rapidly."

"But this shouldn't be the idea of ​​an alchemist."

"My father has been immersed in the Dao of Alchemy for over a hundred years. I understand better than anyone else that the Dao of Alchemy is the key to balancing spirits and demons, yin and yang. It is also the great way that connects with the Dao of Martial Arts!"

Upon hearing this, Li Cunxiao couldn't help but recall the principle of alchemy and equipment mentioned by the old man who refined the Cloud-Treading Shoes. It seemed to correspond to the words of the middle-aged man in front of him.

"But after being immersed in the Dao of Alchemy for over a hundred years, this person looks only in his forties. Can the martial arts of this world really lead to immortality?"

Taiyi Zhenren immediately stopped talking. He knew that young people who had just entered the sect would not be able to understand such profound principles, so he immediately changed the subject:
"But if you really want to start refining the elixir, you have to wait until you are promoted to Huangting."

"Before that, I'd like to teach you the Yimu Qinglong True Canon."

Li Cunxiao's eyes lit up, and he straightened his back, then he heard the other party slowly say the last few words:

"Part of."

what?
Li Cunxiao was stunned when he heard this, "Dad, why don't you pass on the whole book to me?"

Nonsense, I'll send you the whole book right away, what if you don't come in the future?
Taiyi Zhenren thought so in his heart, but said:

"Of course it's because the higher the level of martial arts, the more difficult it is to learn."

"Did you know that the Yimu Qinglong Zhendian, a unique martial art, can be divided into seven top-grade martial arts?"

"The seven Azure Dragon constellations, Jiao, Kang, Di, Fang, Xin, Wei, and Ji, respectively govern metal, wood, water, fire, earth, the sun, and the moon."

"The integration of the seven top-grade martial arts is the Azure Dragon God, who possesses the birth and death of the five elements, the yin and yang of the sun and moon."

"You haven't even learned a top-grade martial art. Even if your father were to teach you, you wouldn't be able to master a unique martial art."

This seems to be the case.

Li Cunxiao thought about it and it seemed to make sense.

Because right now his first goal must be to transform the lotus into a celestial being or a yaksha. Even if he gets another unique skill, he will not have the extra energy and evil spirit to learn it.

Of course, more importantly, there was nothing he could do if the Eastern King Mu Gong refused to teach him.

You can't force Lao Deng to explode the gold coins, right?

"I understand now. Please teach me the Dharma, father."

Taiyi Zhenren nodded with satisfaction, and pointed his hand like a sword. Just as he was about to poke the young man in the middle of his eyebrows, he suddenly stopped.

"And one more thing."

Li Cunxiao suspected that the other party was deliberately keeping him in suspense.

"Please show me."

“How many hearts does a person have?”

Li Cunxiao suddenly felt strange.

"Of course there is only one."

"Ordinary people naturally only have one mind," Taiyi Zhenren smiled.

"But warriors are of two minds."

"A warrior is two-minded?"

Li Cunxiao frowned, vaguely feeling that the other party's words could not be understood superficially.

When it comes to the five internal organs of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, ordinary people naturally only have one heart.

When a warrior is possessed by a demon, let alone an extra heart, even having two hearts and four kidneys is not strange, after all, there are all kinds of yakshas and bull heads.

But if the other party is not referring to a "real" heart, but a "false" heart, then in addition to the individual will, there is actually another "heart" in the warrior's body.
"Demon? The demon is the warrior's second heart?"

Taiyi Zhenren nodded in approval, "Not bad."

"To put it bluntly, the martial arts of this world are nothing more than 'the struggle between two hearts'."

"When the Qi and blood are perfect, one must use a powerful medicine to transform the evil thoughts in the heart into reality and become a demon."

"Muscles, internal organs, Huangting, the stronger the warrior, the stronger the demon."

“When the Huangting is perfected and the True Form realm is reached, it will be the gate of hell for warriors.”

"Martial arts before the true form can be said to be a kind of demon."

"This state of true form can be said to be the transformation of the devil."

"And after the true form is revealed, it can be called the subduing of demons."

"If you cannot subdue your second thoughts, then your death is inevitable sooner or later."

"And since we need to subdue the two minds, the warrior can only visualize one deity."

"Otherwise, if you keep dividing your mind, it will only become fragmented and you will become crazy."

Taiyi said this with a hint of meaning:
"Especially Buddhism and Taoism, the main deities are very different, so you must never practice both at the same time."

Li Cunxiao's expression changed when he heard this. Just as he was about to ask something else, the other party's index finger had already touched his forehead.

In an instant, a huge visualization picture emerged in my mind, which was the image of a blue dragon composed of seven stars.

Its body is thousands of miles wide, completely occupying the eastern part of the vast sky.

A light flickered between the two horns, and the next moment, a green aura emerged and transformed into a dragon with a single horn on its head.

The top-grade martial art called "Jiaomu Jiaojun Gong" came to mind.

There is no shortage of fundamental diagrams, medicine preparation, Qi breathing, as well as matching killing methods and body movement martial arts.

Compared with the "Supreme Secret Narada Sutra" which only contains the incarnation of celestial beings, it can be said to be extremely perfect.

Recalling the man's words just now, Li Cunxiao suddenly felt a little conflicted.

According to his original idea, only children make choices, and adults want everything.

However, if one cannot practice Buddhism and Taoism at the same time, then one must give up one of them.

'Not necessarily. If the words about the demon transforming into a demon and conquering the demon are true, then it is obvious that the fifth realm of true form is another major hurdle in the martial arts.'

"I first cultivated a demon in the second realm. The vajra changed from a single prong to a three-pronged one. It was no longer restricted by the demon-luring potion and had the added function of refining demons."

"When the True Form Realm is transformed into a demon, perhaps the Vajra Pestle can be further upgraded."

"If we can integrate martial arts techniques and deduce them, we might be able to take into account the strengths of Buddhism and Taoism."

Comforting himself in this way, Li Cunxiao had to admit that as his strength grew, his ambition also expanded.

In the past, if he could get either the "Supreme Secret Narada Sutra" or the "Yi Mu Qing Long Zhen Canon", he would be so happy that he would dance with joy, but now he is not satisfied at all.

Looking at the young man's expression, Taiyi Zhenren could probably guess what Li Cunxiao was thinking.

However, it has been a common consensus for thousands of years that the fundamental techniques cannot be practiced simultaneously.

There were also many talented people in the past who were favored by both Buddhism and Taoism and wanted to try to practice both.

But let alone practicing both Buddhism and Taoism, even practicing within one's own sect is extremely difficult.

Almost everyone who has tried it has failed at the stage of true form.

The true form is the form of the true self.

He said that warriors have two minds, but the devil will eventually surrender, so they still have one mind.

Unless a person can have two bodies so that both visualized deities can enter the Xuanguan Zuqiao and do not interfere with each other, otherwise, they will eventually explode and die due to the conflict of their skills.

The more talented a person is, the more conceited he is, let alone a genius like Li Cunxiao who created eight demons.

In order to prevent the other party from repeating the same mistakes, Taiyi Zhenren had to sound the alarm early to avoid unspeakable things from happening in the future.

"I came to Songzhou in search of the Seven Treasures Lotus, but after traveling all over the place, I only found one golden lotus."

"It's rumored that the Seven Treasures Lotus can bring the dead back to life and nourish the soul. It might even grant a warrior some luck."

"It's a pity that they all disappeared along with the dragon boat treasure of Emperor Yang of Zhou." Sighing inwardly, Taiyi knew that Li Cunxiao was temporarily unable to practice the "Jiaomu Jiaojun Gong", so he stood up and led the young man out of the palace.

No matter how realistic this place is, it is still his inner illusion, suitable only for teaching the knowledge of alchemy or simulating battle confrontations, and this is how he arranged it from the beginning.

"Qing Tong, do you know what is respected in our Dao sect?"

The two of them walked slowly into the White Jade Square. When the palace maids around saw them, they all bowed respectfully.

After getting rid of the shock he felt when he first saw her, Li Cunxiao now made a subtle discovery after careful observation.

In this dream, except for the Eastern King Mu Gong who was smart enough to be no different from a real person, the others were more or less dull.

If I have to say it, it's like the characters in the game, they only act according to the set program.

"My child is dull, please give me some advice, father."

Master Taiyi strolled leisurely through the garden. Over his shoulder, one could faintly see a section of a towering tower spire emerging from the clouds.

"The gods of Taoism are naturally the Three Pure Ones and the Three Treasures."

"The Lord of Heavenly Treasures resides in Jade Purity, the Lord of Spiritual Treasures resides in Upper Purity, and the Lord of Divine Treasures resides in Great Purity."

"The Three Pure Ones expounded their teachings and published the Three Caverns Sutra, and thus the Dao was born."

Upon hearing this, Li Cunxiao couldn't help but think of what Zhang Lishi had said to him.

The highest teachings in Taoism are the Three Caverns Sutra; the highest teachings in Buddhism are the two volumes of the Golden Embryo Sutra.

Hearing this, he naturally couldn't help but ask:

"Dad, what's the meaning of the three holes?"

Taiyi Zhenren stroked his beard.

"Three Caves" means "holes" and "holes" means "throughs". They are the three most profound and profound things, hence the name "Three Caves".

"The teachings of Dongxuan, with the leader Lingbaojun as the trail, evolved into the Shangqing lineage."

"Dongxuan" means "to create heaven and earth, and its function is unstoppable, hence the name Xuan. It is the most important of alchemy and the wonderful function of creation."

"Nowadays, most of the Taoist sects follow the Shangqing lineage, emphasizing the importance of the alchemy cauldron and the use of talismans."

"The teachings of the Cave God are based on the teachings of the Lord of Treasures."

"The 'Dong Shen' is the one who summons and controls ghosts and gods. His achievements are unfathomable, so he is called a god."

"The fundamental principle of talisman techniques lies in controlling demons. Just imagine, how can a single martial art transformed by the master compare to the transformations of hundreds of thousands of demons?"

Li Cunxiao couldn't help but wonder, "But didn't you just say that I am the only one?"

"Of course, I am the only one, but I can have more than one dependent."

"Otherwise, why do you think the Yimu Qinglong Zhendian requires the study of the Qisu Zhengong?"

"Before Huang Ting, the best is naturally the only one."

"But after Huang Ting, the true energy has been generated. Using the subordinate demons to support the only true body can actually make up for the shortcomings."

"Just like in the secular world, when a general establishes a government and a stronghold, he needs his right and left arms to gain the support of the people. This is the same principle."

Li Cunxiao suddenly realized and felt even more fortunate.

These things are obviously the secrets and essence of martial arts.

If I hadn't been lucky enough to get the opportunity, I, a servant in the Medicine King Courtyard, would have had no right to know about it.

Am I really the son of luck?
"As for the last part, the teaching of Dong Zhen, it is based on the teaching leader Tian Baojun."

"Dong Zhen is a book of pure spiritual mysteries, hence the name Zhen. It is said to be a true heavenly book, containing the secrets of ascension to the immortal realm."

Taiyi Zhenren said with great emotion, "It's a pity that no one has seen it so far."

"You mean, there are actually only two copies of the Three Caverns Scriptures?"

"In fact, we don't even have two copies. Our Lou... ahem, our lineage has only mastered a part of the Three Caverns Sutra."

"It should be said that every Taoist sect in the world only possesses a portion of the Three Caverns Sutra. No sect dares to claim to have mastered a single part of it, let alone half of it."

When Li Cunxiao heard this, he just thought of his previous doubts.

"Dad, our lineage is..."

"Look, my son, we're here at the Linglong Tower!"

Taiyi Zhenren quickly interrupted Li Cunxiao's question. He didn't want to reveal his sect background yet, otherwise if the other party found out, the game would end early.

Li Cunxiao felt strange and was about to speak, but as the clouds in front of him dissipated, a glazed tower that was a hundred feet high came into view.

The pagoda is nine stories high and ninety feet tall. There's a golden stupa on top, another ten feet tall, bringing the total height to one thousand feet. Under each of the four eaves hangs a giant bronze bell.

At this time, a strong wind blew from somewhere, and the thirty-six bronze bells on the nine floors rang together, as if the sound of heaven rushed into the sky. The sound waves visible to the naked eye pushed away the clouds. The scene was so spectacular that even Li Cunxiao couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"This"

"This is the exquisite tower I made by imitating the most precious treasure of Tantric Buddhism," said Taiyi Zhenren, with a smug look on his face, obviously very proud of it.

"Although it's not a genuine item, it can still suppress thousands of demons and provide me with the energy I need to refine pills."

As soon as the word "demon" came out, Li Cunxiao was immediately triggered, and his palms began to itch for a moment.

To be honest, the main reason he killed demons in the slaughterhouse was to get rid of their evil spirits, but after doing it for a long time, he gradually got used to it.

The workload in the slaughterhouse has dropped sharply in the past few days, which makes him feel a little unsatisfied.

When I heard this, I immediately became interested:

"Dad, can you let me in for some practice? If a warrior only learns martial arts without practicing, he will inevitably become a mere figurehead."

Taiyi Zhenren already had the idea of ​​testing the other party's combat power, and he smiled and nodded when he heard this.

With a wave of his hand, a golden light suddenly shot out from the exquisite tower, covering Li Cunxiao.

The latter only felt a flash before his eyes, and the next moment, he was already at the bottom of the Linglong Tower. Looking up, he could see the hanging ladder leading directly to the top.

This floor was empty, and Li Cunxiao subconsciously walked towards the hanging ladder. The moment he stepped on it, the space fluctuated, and in a blink of an eye he arrived at the second floor.

I saw that the center of the second layer was circular, and in the cages on all sides, there were densely packed demons, no less than a hundred of them.

The figure of Taiyi Zhenren then appeared above the second floor. With a light wave of his sleeves, three demons of different shapes "came" out of the cage.

"Amazing! It's clearly an illusion, but it looks just like the real thing. It even has a fishy smell."

Li Cunxiao showed admiration and subconsciously tried to pull out the Dragon Sparrow Sword, but found nothing. Then he remembered that this was an illusion.

No problem, there are still Hot Wheels.

Slightly raise your right hand, and the God of Wind will immediately appear, making a clear sound.

The wings stretched out and merged, and the fierce wind swirled and swallowed, instantly turning into a wind blade more than one meter long.

The next moment, red flames erupted under his feet, and Li Cunxiao's figure was like a meteor, drawing a stream of red flames amid the roars of the three demons.

The wind blade turned into a tornado, spiraling through!
boom! ! ! !

Amidst the deafening explosion, flesh and blood scattered from the sky, turning into thumb-sized pieces and falling down.

Taiyi Zhenren was stunned at first, then he stroked his beard with satisfaction.

Clean and decisive, one-hit kill, with the demeanor of a veteran in his day.

"But in reality, Saburo only has Fenglun. Chopping things up like this would be pointless in sharpening his combat prowess."

Just when Taiyi Zhenren was about to ask Li Cunxiao to show some other skills, he suddenly found that after the other party dealt with the three demons, he was in a daze with a gloomy face, so he quickly flew down.

"My son, what happened?"

"I'm fine," Li Cunxiao came back to his senses. While dealing with the worried Taiyi Zhenren, he couldn't help but focus his mind on the vajra.

The golden light above has grown larger than before entering the dream!

"Isn't this an illusion? How can the demons in the illusion provide evil energy?"

Li Cunxiao was puzzled, but, but.
He looked at the densely packed layer of demons and couldn't help licking his lips.

If you can kill through this layer, you can at least fill the vajra once.

If you kill through the top seven layers, then...
