Under One Person, Mountain and Sea Painting Demon

This is originally an anime fan fiction. If I were to follow the routine and write some fantasy and fairy tale stories about immortals and gods that have been written to death, I don’t know what the readers would think, but at least I would fall asleep when reading it.

Finally, a very important sentence - when reading a novel, don’t argue with the author about the settings!

Even if I am a second-person character, I am still extending the basic framework of Mi Er. If you want to argue with me, go ahead. Here are the original words from the original novel:

"They use unknown methods to collect the spiritual energy that people express when they worship God."

The definition of the word "worship" can be very broad, it is nothing more than the difference in the size and strength of this spiritual power.

After completing his training with Gu Jiting, You Fang left the "Ruins of Time".

Then he discovered that with the improvement of the "Zhulong Diagram" and the improvement of his "Observation Technique", he was not completely weak this time, and his "nature", "life" and "qi" were still remnants.

This could not help but surprise him. In other words, the time he could stay in the "Ruins of Time" was getting longer and his survival ability was getting stronger. This was undoubtedly great news!

With this joy, he finally got up, walked out of the room, and came to the restaurant downstairs with a smile on his face.

"Are you done? Did you gain anything?" Seeing him coming downstairs, Mr. Lu at the dining table put down the newspaper in his hand and looked at him.

"Good boy, you've made progress again." With Mr. Lu's keen eyesight, he could naturally see the changes in Youfang's aura. Although he was weak at this time, his aura was more condensed. He couldn't help but smile slightly, looking very satisfied.

"Haha, lucky, lucky."

At this time, Hong Bin and the others had finished their meal and were practicing in the yard. You Fang glanced at them and then sat down at the dining table.

"Uncle-master, where is Yuan Qian?" He looked around but didn't see any trace of Yuan Qian, so he couldn't help but ask while eating.

"Oh, that kid. He said he had something to do and left in a hurry ten minutes ago. I didn't ask him." Mr. Lu replied.

"Is there something?" You Fang raised his eyebrows. Okay, he also has that guy's contact information, so he just ignored it for now.

After quickly finishing his breakfast, Youfang got up and walked to the yard, stretched his arms and legs a little, then pulled a chair and sat down.

Even when practicing, one must pay attention to the combination of work and rest. He had just studied for a whole night and had just come out of the "Ruins of Time", so he was still quite tired, so he simply lay down on the chair leisurely.

In fact, the state of exhausting "nature", "life" and "qi" like him at this moment is also a method of spiritual practice, just like exercising to exhaustion.

When you reach your limit, any effort you exert will be a breakthrough, and in this process, your "upper limit" will naturally increase.

Therefore, in a "weak" situation like this, unless the situation is urgent, the Youfang will choose to recover the body through natural means, which is also a form of spiritual practice.

Just like that, he lay down comfortably on the chair, feeling the slow recovery of his "sex", "life" and "qi" carefully, while watching Lu Lin practicing and occasionally interjecting a few words to Hong Bin and Fu Chen.

Time just passed by little by little...

It was not until after lunch that Youfang's condition recovered. He was just exhausted and not injured, so he recovered quickly.

After lunch, since the "snake spirits" that Hong Bin had captured before had been used up, he called Fu Chen and Tang Yingjie to accompany him to Leifeng Pagoda. You Fang returned to his room and began a new round of practice.

As mentioned before, due to his comprehension of the "Wu Nu" method, Youfang's "Guan Shu" cultivation has now reached his expectation, which allows him to comprehend the "Shuangquan Hands" and "Shen Ji Bai Lian".

After thinking for a moment, he decided to deal with the "Shuangquan Hands" first. He had mentioned before that he had some ideas about the "Shenji Bailian", so he wanted to save it for last.

So, You Fang immediately calmed down, sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, and began to extract Wang Nianying's memories through the "Twelve Beasts Eating Ghosts Diagram"...

In his memory, there is a complete "Shuangquanshou" method, and since he has learned new methods from it, he naturally does not need to worry about the limitations of his "special physique" anymore.

However, compared to the "Wu Nu" method, the Eight Wonders are obviously more complicated and mysterious. Generally speaking, it takes a lot of effort to comprehend them.

Fortunately, Wang Nianying's memory contains her understanding and experience of the "Shuangquan Hand" over the years. With this information, Youfang's comprehension speed has accelerated.

"So that's it, this is the 'Shuangquan Hands'..." Soon, with continuous understanding, Youfang gradually uncovered the true face of the "Shuangquan Hands".

He said, how could the performance of this "Shuangquan Hand" be so amazing, as if it was far superior to the other seven magical skills? It turned out that the side effects it produced were so great!

There is no doubt that as the ultimate medical skill, the primary purpose of "Shuangquanshou" is naturally to "cure diseases and save lives", and its power is indeed capable of doing such outrageous things as "repairing the soul" and "regenerating severed limbs".

But in order to do this, the doctor needs to penetrate his or her own perception into the other person's body and soul and "connect" with the object. Only in this way can he or she grasp all the conditions and perceptions of the object as easily as seeing through himself or herself, and obtain the most complete and true feedback.

This is the state of "doctor-patient unity and empathy", and it is also the truth behind the almost perverted "transformation" ability of "Shuangquan Hands". After all, to complete such complex repairs or changes, it is necessary to truly grasp all changes in the object's body and mind.

This may be nonsense to ordinary doctors, but it is understandable to extraordinary people. The only thing that everyone can see and understand most clearly is their own body, and only they themselves know how they feel in different circumstances!

Similarly, this is also the realm that the Lu family's "Soul Enlightenment Technique" could hardly break through before it evolved into the "Shuangquan Hands". Even someone as talented as Lu Huan could only deceive others by "deceiving himself" but could not find the "switch" to modify the cognition of others.

This also indirectly proves the point that "only you know yourself best", and this has become the breakthrough for "Shuangquanshou" to break through the limits of doctors and become the pinnacle of medicine that surpasses all medical skills.

Therefore, when the user of "Shuangquan Hands" performs "modification operations" on the treatment object, it is equivalent to temporarily becoming the treatment object. All of its pain, emotions, and negative memories will surge up like a tide and envelop the doctor.

Of course, the practice of "Shuangquan Hands" will have great benefits for both the body and the soul, especially in terms of resistance to these "pains", but resistance is not "elimination" after all. Every time it is done, it will leave "traces", and when the number of times increases, one will naturally be affected.

This effect manifests itself physically as "phantom pain"...

It is not the "phantom pain" related to nerves in medicine, but real pain that comes from one's own body, pain without injury!

This kind of pain is almost impossible to eliminate. Even "double-hand" is useless because you can't find any place to repair it...

And this kind of pain is almost continuous, and it will become more and more severe as the number of treatments increases!

As for the manifestation of this influence on the soul, it is much more serious, because it is no longer just pain, but a subtle change to one's own soul.

This change comes from the deepest pain, darkest emotions, and most silent roars in the patients' minds. It will gradually devour the original normal consciousness and turn it into a crazy "beast"!

Just like the physical pain, all these negative effects are difficult to reverse. Without any chance, they will most likely accompany the user of "Shuangquan Hand" for the rest of his life...

This is the price of "going against the will of heaven". Since you want to forcibly use magic to reverse the "misery" of others, then this "misery" will also be imposed on yourself!

There is no doubt that this is also one of the main reasons why Wang Nianying became a "monster". In order to develop her influence and gather strength, she has used her "Shuangquan Hands" to undergo countless "transformations" over the years, and she has already become "terminally ill".

Speaking of which, she is indeed a pitiful person. She seems to have lived in "chaos" all her life. But thinking back on the things she has done, she does not deserve sympathy.

Pitiful……

It’s never a reason to do evil!

Of course, as I said before, even though the side effects of this "Shuangquan Hand" are so strong, the root cause is still the insufficient cultivation of "life".

It's a very simple truth. If Wang Nianying's soul and body were so strong that every time she performed the "Shuangquan Hand" there would be no mark left, then she would naturally not fall into pain, nor would there be any subsequent problems.

After getting this series of information, You Fang couldn't help but think of Lu Huan. Fortunately, through Wang Nianying's memory, he learned that Lu Huan had not used this "Shuangquan Hand" many times, which was lucky.

Because before she became Wang Nianying's substitute, Wang Nianying had already dealt with the forces of Yaoxing Society and the people to be controlled. She only needed to take charge of the overall situation according to Wang Nianying's instructions after becoming "Qu Tong", and she rarely used "Shuangquanshou" to do anything.

"call……"

So, You Fang let out a breath and continued to comprehend. With the help of Wang Nianying's memory, his insights quickly took shape.

It was not until five o'clock in the afternoon that You Fang, who had kept his eyes closed, finally opened his eyes. A ray of orange-red sunset light shone into the room, and he picked up the "Mountain and Sea Scroll".

next second...

He used Qi to condense paper, and Qi and blood to condense ink. He opened the book and took out the brush. He finished it in one go, and Youfang started writing.

Then, a little bit of ink appeared on the paper as the pen tip moved. The lines were smart and graceful, quickly outlining a contour.

This is a foxy face, with a clear and beautiful appearance, as well as elegance and grace, and a hint of cunning hidden in its expression...

After the fox's body was outlined, large, fluffy tails began to emerge from under the pen tip. There were nine tails in total, swaying behind it.

Soon, Youfang put away the "Demon Painting Brush", and the strange beast on the scroll was completed. Its identity was also quite obvious. It was the legendary Lord of Qingqiu - the "Nine-tailed Fox"!

(Nine-tailed Fox)

The Classic of Mountains and Seas: Nanshan Jing states:

"Three hundred miles further east is the Qingqiu Mountain. On the sunny side there is much jade, and on the shady side there is much green. There is a beast there that looks like a fox with nine tails. It sounds like a baby and can eat people. Those who eat it will not be poisoned."

Guo Pu's commentary on the Classic of Mountains and Seas, Great Wilderness East Classic, says:

"When there is peace, it will be auspicious."

This is the record about the "Nine-tailed Fox"!

Although after a long period of historical development, in modern times, all works have habitually demonized the "Nine-tailed Fox" and added characteristics such as "bewitching" and "foxish", but in fact it is not the case...

Although it possesses the above characteristics, according to the earliest records, it is actually the patron saint of the ancient "Kingdom of Qingqiu" and a real "auspicious sign"!

As for why, after comprehending the "Shuangquan Hands", what was drawn was actually a "Nine-tailed Fox", Youfang soon understood it after careful observation.

According to legend, the nine-tailed fox itself is proficient in the "art of transformation", and as a manifestation of the power of rules, this ability is greatly enhanced. Both the body and the soul can be changed according to its will. This is one of its abilities.

And his performance in "medicine" surprised even Youfang. He never thought that this "Nine-tailed Fox" had another hidden ability - "alchemy"!

But after thinking about it carefully, he understood the reason. It was recorded in ancient books that this "Nine-tailed Fox" not only has the ability to "transform", but also has the ability to "breathe fire", and the fire it breathes is "Dan Fire" (as set in this book), which is a flame suitable for refining elixirs!

In fact, the alchemy ability of the "Nine-tailed Fox" can be traced, and its source lies in the place it protects - "the Kingdom of Qingqiu".

Qingqiu State is a place name in ancient Chinese legends. It is located near the upper source of the Si River. The reason why it got its name is very interesting!

But literally, the original meaning of "qing" refers to color, similar to black, green, dark blue, etc., which is clear at a glance.

But in "Shuowen" it is said:

"Blue is the color of the East. Wood gives birth to fire, which gives birth to cinnabar. The meaning of cinnabar and blue is a metaphor. Everything related to blue comes from blue."

Therefore, the word "qing" actually refers to "refining elixir with fire"!

Going further, the "Dan" in the word "Qing" refers to something with magical changes, which can change its appearance through continuous refining.

The phrase “The disciple surpasses the master” reveals a process of change and refinement, and the word “精” also means change and refinement. Both are taken from the rhyme of “change” of the character “青”!

As for the word "Qiu", there is no need for much explanation. The country of Qingqiu is located on a hill, so it refers to the "topography".

At the same time, this "hilly" land is also a very suitable terrain for the growth of medicinal materials. This shows the connection between this "Kingdom of Qingqiu" and "alchemy", "herb collecting" and even "medicine".

In this way, everything becomes clear. The "Nine-tailed Fox" is good at transformation and is proficient in alchemy, so it is natural that it becomes the painting of the strange beast created by the "Double Complete Hands".

With the help of the power of this scroll, Youfang can not only change himself, but also use his own "sex, life, and qi" to refine pills to achieve the same effect as the "Shuangquan Hand", but avoid the side effects of the "Shuangquan Hand".

However, it is not over yet. When he felt the end, Youfang discovered the third ability of this scroll. It was the discovery of this ability that made him extremely surprised!

According to legend, for every additional tail the Nine-tailed Fox gains, it gains an additional life. The third ability of this scroll is - "Nine Immortal Lives"!

In other words, as long as Youfang prints the "Nine-tailed Fox Picture" on himself, it is equivalent to having nine more lives, and each tail can withstand a fatal blow for him.

Of course, this kind of "endurance" also has an upper limit, and the upper limit depends on Youfang's own cultivation, and it takes years to re-condense. But even so, it is already quite powerful!

"Good, good, good!" Looking at the picture scroll floating in front of him, Youfang couldn't help but grin. With this "Nine-tailed Fox" and the "Ruins of Time", his survival ability was almost maximized.

All that remains is to find ways to improve his cultivation and combat power. As long as he is strong enough, situations like Wang Nianying will not occur again, and he can truly travel freely!

However, in addition to preparing for the journey, there was another reason why he wanted to further improve his strength, which he had not told anyone, and that was - he wanted to challenge the 20-year-old old Taoist priest once more!

Although he had tried his best to leave a cut on the old Taoist's palm during the last challenge, which was enough for him to be proud of, as a seeker of truth, this was obviously not enough!

See, chase, and surpass!

This is the attitude that a qualified practitioner should have on the path of seeking. No matter how tall the figure in front is, one must try one's best to pass it!

If you can’t get over it once, try again. This process of continuous overcoming is not only to surpass the opponent, but also to surpass yourself and make continuous breakthroughs!

You Fang knew that the old master was very powerful, better than anyone else. He had already analyzed what the old master's existence meant to the entire world under One Person...

But it was precisely because of this that he came up with such an idea, especially after he had a sparring match with him once, this idea began to grow wildly!

"Um……"

"Before you turn twenty, challenge the old master once more!"

At this point, the entire process of comprehension and painting ended. Youfang did not think much about it and directly imprinted the "Nine-tailed Fox Picture" into his body.

With his current level of cultivation, it is no problem at all for him to print two paintings on his body, and as long as he needs, he can choose to make any painting appear at any time without any problem.

And this time...

You Fang's mind moved again, his palms trembled slightly, and the "Bai Ze Picture" and "Zhu Long Picture" emerged again...

"Haha, that's right!"

Seeing this scene, he immediately understood that it was obvious that this "double-handed" also contained the mystery of "observation technique", and what it observed was the "minuteness of the body" and the "end of the soul"!

So...

Youfang picked up the "Painting Demon Brush" again, and with blood and ink gushing out of the tip of the brush, he began to paint again.

At the same time, he also had a vague feeling that if he could draw all kinds of magic, then his "observation of magic"...

Maybe it will work!
