What kind of Journey to the West is this?

But she stopped there. She had been figuring out how to practice to steal the secrets of heaven.

The Qigong manual left to her by Zhenyuan Daxian said that the Xuanguan acupoint was the key at this moment. She also knew that the Xuanguan acupoint was accessible during the foundation-building and concentration phases, and it was an unnamed acupoint on the human body.

It is formless and intangible, neither inside nor outside the body. Just like the mysterious seven places to search for the mind in the Shurangama Sutra, it is neither inside nor outside the body, in the eyes, in the heart, in the head, anywhere, and has no place to stay.

Only when you are concentrating and forgetting yourself will you catch a glimpse of it by chance, and then you can establish a connection with the soul in the void.

To put it in professional terms, this is the law of inaction.

But Fei Jinjing has to concentrate his mind to promote the innate Qi, which is itself an "active method" that requires a high degree of concentration. How can he achieve selflessness and inaction at the same time?

She thought about it over and over, but couldn't figure it out. She swallowed her saliva and breathed in, letting the innate Qi fall into her Dantian. She finished the exercise and performed a set of Liuhe Posture.

Now she has developed a body of iron and steel, and when she fights, she is not as weak and limp as when she was building her foundation, as if to preserve her health. Instead, she roars like a tiger and a dragon, stirring up a gust of wind as sharp as a knife, and slams the window open.

The Six Harmonies Stance emphasizes the harmony of mind and intention: the harmony of mind and heaven, the harmony of intention and mind, and the harmony of qi and intention. The Six Harmonies mentioned in this stance exercise were originally exaggerated metaphors used by martial artists, but in An Yanxia's hands, it became a true "harmony of mind and heaven," and a thunderclap set off in her heart -

There was a loud rumbling sound, and those who didn't know what was happening thought it was thunder. The monks guarding the gate with lanterns were so frightened that they covered their ears and complained:

"Why is it raining again?"

In the darkness of the night, the loud thunder startled the white snake. It quickly passed by the monks and flew towards the monk's room where An Yanxia was.

Xue Shi'er was still awake, squatting on the roof with a pair of eyes flashing with a faint light, and said in surprise:

"This white snake was actually caught by the stinky Taoist priest?!"

She had just heard a rumbling noise outside and smelled a familiar scent, so she knocked on the door and pulled Yu Qinghuai up to the roof. As expected, she really saw the real person.

She first hummed: That Taoist priest really has some skills!

For a moment she was actually somewhat happy and proud.

Suddenly she turned around and thought, it was the middle of the night, Bai She and An Yanxia were in the same room, why was she happy?

The lion was annoyed for a while and said:

"No, it's late at night. I want to go and find out. Qinghuai... Eh, Qinghuai?"

Yu Qinghuai was lying on the wooden dragon playing with pearls on the eaves, dozing off with sleep. He asked in a daze, "Ah? What do you want from me?"

Xue Shier: “….”

Bang bang bang!

There was a knock on the door.

"come in!"

An Yanxia finished her training and heard a creaking sound. The white snake had transformed into a human form and walked in nervously.

Yan Xia had already prepared her words and said in a sophisticated manner, "I knew you would come back. It seems you have run into some difficult trouble."

Xiaobai said ashamedly, "My benefactor is so clever that he knows everything."

How could I not know? I have been preparing this line for three days...

An Yanxia coughed twice, asked Xiaobai to sit down first, and asked, "Since you're already here, don't be restrained. Tell me everything."

When the White Snake heard this, she spoke without hesitation, "My sister Xiaoqing swallowed a relic."

"Oh, I see. I was just saying... huh?"

Yan Xia was just about to start her line when she heard that he had swallowed a relic and was stunned.

The prepared lines were stuck in my throat.

No, aren’t you sick, terminally ill?

How is this related to the relics?

She had no choice but to say, "Tell me in detail!"

"My benefactor already knows that we sisters are all from Mount Zhongnan. There is the South Wutai Peak in Mount Zhongnan, a sacred place of Buddhist Pure Land. There is also a Guanyin Peak, where we have also established our residence and practiced."

"Did the relic you swallow come from Guanyin Peak?"

"Yes and no," the White Snake explained. "A Buddhist-Taoist debate was to be held in Chang'an City. Three or four months ago, a group of monks passed through Mount Zhongnan, led by Daoxin from Shuangfeng Mountain."

Three or four months ago - Yanxia nodded, that should be the monastic group that passed through Cangzhou, the monastic group where Niutou Fazhong and Huayan Fashun were.

However, the one in the lead was Dao Xin, which was both unexpected and reasonable.

Dao Xin is the big boss she wants to challenge when she goes to Chang'an this time. Of course, she will have to deal with a bunch of elite monsters along the way, such as "One-sided Dao Zhong", "Two-sided Dao Zhong", "Three-sided Dao Zhong" and so on.

The white snake continued, "This relic was given to me by Zen Master Daoxin. He said it was meant to be sent to the Guanyin Zen Monastery on Guanyin Peak. He wasn't going to South Wutai this time, so he took two elixirs and asked me to deliver them on his behalf."

"But unexpectedly, this relic was incredibly magical, with a naturally strange fragrance that could captivate the soul. My profound cultivation was unaffected, but Xiaoqing's cultivation was still shallow, and she couldn't resist the temptation and swallowed it.

"I originally thought the relic was from the cremation of a great monk and shouldn't be harmful. But after just a few days, Xiaoqing said the relic seemed to be alive! It was glowing and hot in her stomach, causing her excruciating pain!"

Yan Xia couldn't help but frown after hearing this.

A relic with a naturally fragrant aroma? Could it be the result of the burning of the White Bone Guanyin?

The so-called relics are roughly the ashes left behind by eminent monks and living Buddhas after their death. They also refer to the remains and are not magical.

Buddhism cultivates the nature but not the life. The body is no different from that of ordinary people, so how can it be possible to burn out something extraordinary?

Most of the beautiful relics enshrined in temples, such as the one in the underground palace of Tieshi Temple in Cangzhou, are artificially processed.

The "Sutra of the Wish-Fulfilling Jewel, Golden Wheel Mantra King" describes a complete and detailed process of producing relics: If there are no relics, they can be made with gold, silver, glass, crystal, and other treasures.

Listening to Xiaobai's description, it was born with a strange fragrance, and swallowing it would cause various illnesses. This is not so much a relic as it is some kind of magic weapon that bewitches people and harms them.

She asked, "Then why did you come to Qingyun County?"

Xiaobai said, "Actually, coming to Qingyun wasn't my idea. It was the Golden Toad Immortal of Mount Zhongnan who instructed me. That immortal was enlightened by Marshal Zhao Gong when he was cultivating in Mount Zhongnan. He has been practicing Taoism for over a thousand years now."

"The Golden Toad Immortal saw it and said he could cure it, but he needed a hundred ounces of gold."

Yan Xia was surprised and asked, "Robbery?!"

She brought the half-dead Luo Sushang back to life, and the old swindler Xiong Fengxian didn't even ask her for a hundred taels of gold!

She gossiped, "What happened next? Did you buy it?"

Xiaobai said ashamedly, "I just regret that I don't have enough money."

"But the Golden Toad Immortal was kind-hearted. He sold me the prescription that stabilized Xiaoqing's condition for two hundred taels of silver. He also told me that if I wanted a permanent cure, I had to travel east and only stop at Jinshan Temple on the island. That's how we arrived in Qingyun County.

"But after adding the two hundred taels of silver and the travel expenses, I had no money left when I arrived in Qingyun. Xiaoqing needed medicine again. I had no other choice but to set my sights on Nanshan Medicinal Garden... I'm really ashamed..."

Yan Xia shook her head and said, "To forget personal gain when seeing justice, and then to be able to spend money lavishly. This is already a very noble virtue, there is nothing to be ashamed of. People also say that a penny can make a hero fall. Everyone has times when they are poor and destitute. Don't forget to repay it in the future.

"As long as you, Little White, remember this in the future and are willing to mend your ways, it won't be considered evil. Instead, it will add glory to your righteous deeds."

The White Snake felt dizzy from her praise, and her face turned red and hot, as if she was drunk.

The girl raised her head and looked at the girl in front of her. She felt that she was very heroic, and a little shyness flew in her heart.

She looked again and saw the girl looking at her with a smile.

She really felt a wave of drunkenness rising to her head, and she was dizzy and didn't know which way was which.

She thought to herself, "You! What are you thinking about? You came here for business, why are you dwelling on these things?" Besides, you only met your benefactor a few times, Xiaobai, why are you so careless that you can't even walk?

No, I can't think about it anymore. I have to do something important.

Before she could speak, An Yanxia spoke for her, "Your sisters' affairs actually involve the deal between me and Jinshan Temple. I was going to do this for Xiaoqing anyway, and I will definitely help you. But Miss Xiaobai, you should know that this is my relationship with Jinshan Temple."

Xiaobai immediately said, "I understand! I only ask that you save Xiaoqing's life. Even if I have to work like a slave for you in this life, I will definitely repay your kindness."

Journey to the West by the Supreme Immortal: Chapter 272 [Going in the Wrong Direction]

"Since you said so, take me to see Miss Xiaoqing's condition."

Yanxia knew that Xiaoqing was critically ill, so she went out immediately without hesitation. Tengyun took Xiaobai to Baiyangling outside the city.

On the roof of the monk's room, Xue Shi'er watched them run away with his eyes wide open. He pushed the unconscious Yu Qinghuai and said, "They've run away, they've run away! Let's go after them!"

Yu Qinghuai was violently shaken awake by Xue Shier.

This girl from the Zhengyi Xuantan usually followed a strict schedule, going to bed early and waking up early, and only once every three or seven days would she sit in meditation until midnight. A few days ago, she and Yanxia had been guarding the herb garden until three o'clock in the morning, which had already disrupted her schedule.

The night owl dragged her to stay up late again tonight, and she was so sleepy.

Yu Qinghuai opened his eyes and said dazedly, "I still feel more comfortable sleeping on the couch..."

Xue Shier: “….”

Yu Qinghuai yawned and subconsciously flew back to his room. He wrapped himself in a sheet and fell asleep on the couch again.

Xue Shi'er was at a loss. She wanted to speak, but was afraid of disturbing others' sleep. She wanted to fly, but felt too lonely to go alone. So, the little girl climbed onto An Yanxia's couch, wrapped in An Yanxia's quilt, and rested her head on An Yanxia's pillow. Then she locked the door of An Yanxia's room.

A philosopher once said: People have three major desires: appetite, desire for apricots, and desire for sleep.

All of Xue Shier's grievances now turned into a desire for sleep. As soon as he touched the pillow, all the past memories disappeared into the sky and he just fell into a deep sleep.

Sure enough, it is more comfortable to sleep on the couch...

Here, the man and the cat were sleeping as if they had drunk sleeping tea. An Yanxia had just arrived at the cave of the two snakes.

Xiaobai lit a torch to illuminate the cave, and told Xiaoqing the whole story.

The green snake was quite wary when it first saw An Yanxia, but after hearing what her sister said and seeing how close she and An Yanxia seemed to be, it suddenly dawned on her, "So this is my sister's sweetheart!"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Xiaobai scolded him and said quickly, "Look, benefactor, the relic is in Xiaoqing's stomach."

"I'm worried that this thing might be targeted, so I've placed a ban on it to conceal its presence. Wait until I remove the ban first."

When the ban was lifted, the green snake opened its mouth and a few rays of golden light came out of it.

The relics can actually glow by themselves, which is truly magical.

An Yanxia opened her Dharma eyes and looked into the green snake's throat. A ray of golden light instantly pierced into her pupils, burning and hot, and the pain made Yanxia's eyes burst into tears.

The golden light was so powerful that An Yanxia didn't dare to look directly at it. She immediately chanted a spell to close her Dharma Eyes.

She thought to herself: "A relic is a harmless thing, so it's already strange that it can emit golden light, but it can actually hurt people. Could it be that this is not a relic, but a spiritual object with an owner?"

Thinking of what the White Snake had said before, the relic "seemed alive", An Yanxia became even more certain that it must be a spiritual object or a treasure.

The person who tied the bell must untie it. Since this thing was sent by the Buddhist sect, Elder Faming might know something about it.

Xiaobai looked at An Yanxia nervously, and then she said;

"This matter is a bit troublesome. I need you to accompany me to Jinshan Temple to pay a visit to Elder Faming."

...................

...................

There is a bright moon on the top of the hall in Jinshan Temple.

The two Jieti of the Golden and Silver Heads, and the three Jieti of the Victorious Deeds, Victorious Dharma, and Victorious Merits, gathered on the clouds. The Golden-Headed Jieti frowned and said, "A few days ago, Elder Jinchan dreamed of Buddha's light appearing in the world. I'm afraid it's his reincarnation relics that have arrived. Do you have any clues?"

Silver-headed Jie Di shook his head. "I've already circled Baiyang Ridge three or four times, and I haven't seen anything unusual. Could this be just one of Elder Jin Chan's absurd dreams?"

"How could this be? He is the reincarnation of a divine being. If he dreamed of the Buddha's light, he must have sensed something."

Silverhead asked again, "How about asking Abbot Faming for help?"

"No! Abbot Fa Ming knows that Jiang Liu is the reincarnation of Elder Jin Chan, and we have failed in our duty. This matter must not be leaked again."

Yintou thought about it and agreed with it.

The Golden-Headed Jie Di looked at the three guardian monasteries again.

The three monks all shook their heads and said, "There's been no unusual activity in Qingyun County during this period. We also went to the City God's Mansion to ask, and he said there were no foreign monks."

"That's weird!"

Golden-headed Jie Di couldn't help getting angry when he thought of the relic that he couldn't find.

More than a decade ago, when Elder Jin Chan was reincarnated, he was told by Guanyin Bodhisattva that a relic would one day be delivered to Elder Jin Chan. This relic carried the wisdom of Elder Jin Chan's nine lifetimes. When this relic was born, sandalwood fragrance spread ten miles and golden light spread across the ground.

He naturally kept such an important thing in mind.

Logically speaking, something with such obvious characteristics should be easy to find. But the truth was, in more than a decade, he hadn't even seen the shadow of a relic!

Now that Elder Jin Chan had sensed something, he naturally did not dare to neglect it and gave another order:

"Three Galans, please go to the City God's Mansion and inquire about it first. Silver Head and I will go to Baiyang Ridge to check it out!"
