Chapter 42: Planting Golden Lotus in Fire, Raising Golden Corpse in Pleiades
September 30th, the last day of golden autumn.
The clouds said goodbye to everyone.
Everyone came to the village gate to see them off.
A little white dog was wagging its tail at the foot of the cloud, jumping around and biting the seal, not feeling the sadness of parting at all.
General Red Crown also landed on the cat thorn at the entrance of the village. Yunqi felt that he was not far from becoming a demon.
He waved goodbye to everyone and disappeared into the mountains in the clouds.
----
The deeper you go into the mountains, the fewer people there are. If you travel another two or three hundred miles to the southwest, you will reach a vast forest with no villages.
After walking another five hundred miles, there was still no sign of human habitation, but there were more and more monsters.
The giant snake coiled around the mountain, its poisonous gas turned into green clouds, covering the area. The winged black tiger flew wildly in the sky, and the hurricane created by its wings uprooted the ancient trees. The strange fish in the big swamp jumped out of the water to prey on the big birds in the sky.
The clouds hid their shadows all the way to avoid these big monsters. Thanks to Bai Long'er's sharpness, he was always able to avoid some powerful creatures when traveling in the mountains.
As the clouds moved, it started snowing from the sky. He counted the days and found that it was already the beginning of December.
But I heard that the southern wilderness is hot and it doesn't snow much in winter. But today's snow was really heavy, as big as goose feathers. It was a coincidence that I ran into it.
"Chirp—"
The cloud whistled.
A white shadow rushed from the front and stopped in front of the cloud. It was a white dog, without a single color on its body, except for the tip of its nose, the tip of its ears, and its mouth, where the hair was less, revealing a pink and tender flesh color.
It was Bai Long'er who was sent by the Miao village. He had grown very tall now, and his back reached Yunqi's knees. Bai Long'er sat in front of Yunqi with his tongue sticking out and his tail spinning.
Yunqi patted the dog's head and said, "Good dog, find a place to live."
The white dog understood and rushed out again.
After a while, the dog came back and wagged its tail to signal Yunqi to follow.
The dog found a cave on the leeward side. There were trees in front of the cave, so it was quite hidden.
Yunqi knew that there was nothing in the cave that Gou'er was looking for, but he still followed the habit he had formed over the past few months. He flicked his finger and shot a beam of fire into the cave, muttering:
"Burn it all!"
In the cave, the flame exploded into a raging flame. The flame was transparent with a warm turmeric color. It was the Three Flavors True Fire that he had just refined.
When the true fire burned away the dampness and possible evil spirits in the cave, the true fire automatically shrank into a point of light and hung in the air, illuminating the cave with warmth and brightness without being dazzling.
Yunqi and the dog walked in.
Yunqi found a stone to sit on, then took out a piece of cloth from the cave and handed it to the dog.
The dog took it with his mouth, came to the cave entrance, spread the cloth on the ground, and then lay on it comfortably. At this time, the cave was warmed by the real fire, and the dog spread his limbs, exposed his belly and pressed it against the mat, humming with comfort.
Looking at the size and color of the mat, it was clearly the baggage that Yunqi brought out from the sect. It was a perfect utilization of waste.
At this time, the snow outside was falling heavily, blocking the view, and everything was hazy white.
Yunqi took out a wine skin bag from the cave stone, opened the stopper and took a sip.
When he left the Miao village, he did not accept anything else given by the villagers, but he accepted a lot of white knives. The old village chief smiled and said that they should brew more this year, otherwise there would be no good wine to entertain Taoist Yun next time he came.
"Gudong-"
The twelve-story building shook, and he took a big gulp of cold wine. After it entered his stomach, the hot feeling rushed out from his stomach, and suddenly his body was warmed up.
"what--"
The clouds and mist separated me, and I felt refreshed all over.
The wind blew the snow into a mess, but Yunqi's heart was clear. He knew exactly what to do next.
Now that the god of the heart palace has been formed, the visualization method not only consumes the domineering sun fire, but also allows Yunqi to be ingenious and absorb the three true fires. Opening up the heart palace is just a natural process. Yunqi estimates that it will take at least one year and at most three years, and there will not be any major differences.
At this point, there is no need to think about taking any shortcuts to shorten this time.
What we should think about now is the next place.
The mountain was blocked by heavy snow and the clouds were in no hurry to travel, which gave him an excellent opportunity to think deeply.
He first opened the heart and characterized it as the Sun Fire, which is "fire in the air", which fits the meaning of going from nothing to something, from virtual to real.
The next step is to think about what comes out of the fire?
According to the basic theory of the five elements, fire creates earth, and although fire restrains metal, it can also refine metal.
As for water and wood, water and fire are incompatible, and both will suffer if they touch each other. The mutual assistance of water and fire, and the fusion of Kan and Li also refer to the coexistence of the two opposite natures and then returning to nature, with yin and yang returning to chaos. It is symbiosis, not mutual generation.
When fire touches wood, it will burn. When fire and wood come into contact, the wood energy will completely fuel the fire, which is not conducive to the growth of the Wood Palace.
After much thought, it is in line with the essence of the Five Elements to open up the Earth Palace and the Metal Palace after the Fire Palace.
Fire creates earth, which is the basis of the five elements, but it is also mediocre. Although gold in fire is radical, there is also a saying that fire refines real gold, so gold in fire is sharper and more refined.
The Golden Elixir Essentials also says:
The moon hides the rabbit, the sun hides the crow, and there are turtles and snakes entwined. Intertwined, life is strong, and it can plant golden lotus in the fire. Gather the five elements and use them in reverse, and you will become a god or immortal after completing the work.
This destiny of "planting golden lotus in fire" is the most tenacious and determined. It is the fundamental nature of seeking immortality and is more in line with Yunqi's desire to seek the way to immortality!
That means fire produces gold, which opens up the lungs!
Going further, from the perspective of the rotation of yin and yang, the Bing Fire in the heart is Yang, and the Lung Metal should be Yin. Among Geng and Xin, Xin is Yin, that is, Xin Metal is paired with Bing Fire.
The lungs should be nourished by the energy of Taiyin Xinjin.
Yunqi let out a long breath. Before leaving the mountain, He Bingkun said that he had transformed the five elements into the celestial phenomena, and his path to the Tao was already determined. Now he determined the five elements based on the heart of seeking the Tao, the emptiness and reality of yin and yang, and the two natures of the heavenly stems. The road is even wider!
But just when Yunqi felt at ease, he was shocked all over!
Taiyin Xinjin!
It’s Taiyin Xinjin!
Yunqi slowly stretched out his left hand, the stone light on his wrist flashed, and something fell into his palm.
This is a small bamboo basket woven from purple bamboo, only the size of a fist.
He picked up the bamboo basket and poured out its contents.
It was a beetle, two inches long, with a body like black jade, wings like dark gold, and long horns slightly raised.
It is the One-horned Rhinoceros Golden Hood, which is of the metal element and is good at controlling corpses. It is in the Yin.
It’s Yin Metal!
Yunqi looked at the insect corpse and remembered the repeated instructions given by Master Sukong before he left the sect.
"The art of raising corpses should not be underestimated..."
"The rhinoceros beetle ascends to heaven on the dragon corpse..."
"Metal...worm corpse..."
Could it be that the moment Master saw the Palace of Light in my mind in the mountains, he had already figured out that I should open up the Lung Palace next? !
When you gave me the golden insect corpse before leaving, was it a deliberate reminder? !
The cloud is unknown now.
However, he had originally just put this matter aside, just like the way of elixir and weapon, but now it seems that he can't put it aside for much longer.
Gold is the essence of earth, and a corpse in the earth is a Yin funeral object. If you really want to find Xin gold, raising insects and looking for corpses is not a good way.
By then, with Pleiades in the heart, it would not be a bad idea for the master of the lungs to be a golden corpse!
This chapter has few words, but it really gives me a headache thinking about it!
