Chapter 89 Two or Three Words in Wuyou Cave
The 446th year of the Ming Dynasty, the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Coming out of Jiutian Yingyuan Mansion, the wind and snow hit me in the face.
In winter, the sun sets very early, and it is already dark at the hour of You.
Cheng Xinzhan rubbed his face to wash away his fatigue. Today was his last day on duty at Yingyuan Mansion this year, so he had a lot of things to deal with.
But the holiday starts tomorrow! And it will be for 50 consecutive days!
It has been an ancient custom that the Yingyuan government does not hold office in the first month of the year.
Looking back at the magnificent Jiutian Yingyuan Mansion, he smiled. From spring to winter, he had been in office for nine months and had gained a lot. Apart from anything else, at least he had walked up and down the Jiutian Yingyuan Mansion dozens of times. He could not recognize all the people inside and he had not entered many rooms, but he was very familiar with the structure of this high-rise building, so familiar that it had helped him build three thunder palaces of different styles in his mind.
He said goodbye to Kenken and returned to Meiji Mountain.
As soon as he landed in the water green forest, he didn't hear any sound. A ball of flower shadow swept across the snow at a high speed, then jumped up and jumped into his arms.
"Meow~"
The calico cat, which had begun to show signs of being plump, rubbed its head against Cheng Xinzhan's neck.
He stroked the cat, which was very warm and fluffy, and said with a smile, "Third sister came to pick me up again, so good!"
The third sister lay in her owner's arms, gesturing with her front paws in the air. He watched carefully and understood what the cat meant.
"You mean you can't see me when I hide?"
The third sister nodded, her big eyes still covered with a layer of blue and white film.
But he knew that the third sister was not completely blind, it was just as if her eyes were covered by a layer of white gauze, and some outlines could still be seen vaguely.
Of course the cat likes to play hide-and-seek, and Dengge spoils her and often plays with her. On weekdays, the cat is small, walks lightly, has mixed fur, and Dengge always lets her win, so Sanmei wins more. But in winter, the ground is covered with snow, and even if Dengge lets her win, Sanmei still has trouble finding her.
Cheng Xinzhan was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see his third sister suffer injustice, so he pointed in a direction. Unfortunately, the third sister couldn't see it even when her brother's tail was wagging to the sky.
The third sister jumped out of her master's arms with a whoosh and ran towards a pile of snow.
"Wang Wang!"
After a while, the boy cried out, indicating that he had been caught.
"Meow~"
The third sister also shouted out proudly.
Then the cats and dogs came over and walked into the Worry-Free Cave closely following their owners.
Cheng Xinzhan sat down in the cave facing the entrance, which looked empty.
But he made a few hand seals and a breeze blew by, and a table and cushions appeared out of thin air. It turned out that he had covered this place with a trick.
And behind the table, on the cushion, there was actually another person!
This was a young man, sitting cross-legged with his hands facing the sky, his face relaxed and he was still breathing. Looking closely, one could see that there was spiritual energy flowing around his mouth and nose and he looked like he was still absorbing air. Looking at his appearance again, he was exactly the same as Cheng Xinzhan who had just walked into Wuyou Cave!
Looking at this strange scene, the eldest brother and the third sister had already gotten used to it. They were scared at the beginning when another master appeared, but later they gradually got used to it.
And the smart cats and dogs have also discovered that when two owners are together, the owner who is sitting is the best owner. He feels warm and fragrant, and will scratch himself.
When the two masters separated, the master who was sitting still felt warm and fragrant, but he would not play with her and would just sit there motionless. The master who went out would play with her for a while, but he was cold and smelled like bamboo, and he would just run outside and would not stay home.
At this time, the two masters met. The third sister immediately jumped into the arms of the sitting master, and then her brother lay down close to his master. They all looked expectantly at the standing master.
Afterwards, light and shadows were seen floating on the body of the standing Cheng Xinzhan, and a human-shaped aura "walked out" of "Cheng Xinzhan" as if entering a house and taking off clothes, as if the human-shaped aura was the owner, and the "Cheng Xinzhan" who was now standing motionless was just a piece of clothing.
The human-shaped aura took a few steps forward, and its lower body overlapped with the sitting "Cheng Xinzhan". Then the human-shaped aura sat down, in the same posture as the sitting "Cheng Xinzhan". Then the light and shadow floated again, and the human-shaped aura disappeared. The sitting "Cheng Xinzhan" opened his eyes.
He reached out and touched the cat and the dog, and the cat and the dog immediately narrowed their eyes and looked like they were enjoying it.
At the same time, he began to look inward to see what progress the inner gods had made during the time when Shuangling and Youjing were away.
Taoist Yuandan is not in the heart palace, but sitting on the waves of the long river of essence and blood, transporting the essence and blood to the meridians that have been melted by the thunder lava. Now the thunder lava is melting the true evil faster and faster, and the spirit in the heart palace is becoming busier and busier.
Now the lower body cannot move yet, but the true evil in the head, neck, arms, right abdomen and left chest has been dissolved. The three thunder chariots start and end at the nose, gallbladder and forehead, and pass through the heart. They run through these meridians, with lightning and blood surging, and it is very lively.
He went to look at the nose cavity again. The nose cavity made a thunderous sound. It was the first cavity that was opened after his true evil acupoint was opened in midsummer, so he built the Thunder Palace placed here in bright blue. The Blue Palace has 33 floors and is shaped like a high tower. There is a god in the top floor, which is the inner scene god of this Thunder Acupoint. The god is dressed like a military general of the Northern Song Dynasty, wearing brocade clothes and armor, with a huge drum beside him and holding a drumstick.
The plaque on the Qing Palace has four characters written in thunder seal script: Shui Lei Xia Palace.
The gods beat drums, thunder roared, and the mine plasma collected from the summer poured out from the Summer Palace, repairing the body ravaged by the true evil.
Then he looked at the Yin Tang, which showed the light of thunder. It was opened in early autumn, so he built the Lei Palace placed here in bright yellow. The Yellow Palace had thirty-four floors. The gods in the palace were the same as the gods in the Summer Palace. They were also dressed as Northern Song Dynasty generals, holding a treasure mirror in their arms.
The plaque on the Yellow Palace has four characters written in thunder seal script: Shenlei Qiu Palace.
The gods shook the treasure mirror, and lightning came out of it, shining brightly. The divine thunder collected in autumn poured out from the palace, dissipating the real evil.
Finally, let's look at the Danqiao. The Danqiao was opened recently, during the heavy snow season, so he built the Thunder Palace placed here in silver-white. The Silver Palace has 35 floors. On the 35th floor, there is a god, tall and burly, with a scholar's temperament, sword eyebrows, tiger eyes, golden pupils, and a long beard to the chest. Looking at his clothes, it is the official uniform of the Northern Song Dynasty, purple clothes, jade belt, goldfish, black hat, and a ceremonial sword on his waist.
The plaque on the Silver Palace had four characters written in thunder seal script: General Commander of Thunder.
Under the gaze of the gods in the palace, the lightning magma was running like a thunder chariot, fast but orderly. He was very satisfied, his thoughts left the inner world, and his eyes looked outward.
There were many thick books on the table in front of him, and the two piles on the left and right were half a person's height.
Some of these books were borrowed from Fangtang Library, some were bought in Dongtiandao Market, some were borrowed from fellow disciples of Jiutian Yingyuan Mansion, and some were specially collected from the mortal world by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
He read so many books with only one purpose in mind, which was to write a biography, or a collection of biographies of a family of three.
In the middle of the table stood a standing crane lamp, which was the one that He Jiyuan had given him when he entered the school.
Under the light, the thick biography was quietly placed in the middle of the table. The title of the book was written neatly on the cover in Ming Dynasty official script:
"Thunderbolt Shakes the Demons".
On the left side of the five big characters in the middle, there are several columns of small characters, which are footnotes to the five big characters, reading:
It records the story of the reincarnation of the God of Thunder, the God of Thunder who slays demons and eliminates evil, Zhang Shuye, a civil and military minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, along with the reincarnation of the General of Thunder Autumn, Zhang Bofeng, and the reincarnation of the General of Thunder Summer, Zhang Zhongxiong, who slayed demons, quelled rebellions and conquered countries.
This was a storybook with exquisite paintings interspersed in it. The main characters were dressed in the same clothes as the gods in his thunder orifice. As far as he knew, people in Ming Dynasty liked to read this kind of storybook. Storytellers in the streets and alleys also talked about how gods were reincarnated into mortals and performed extraordinary things.
After all, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty all claimed to be the reincarnation of the Great Emperor Zhenwu.
Of course Cheng Xinzhan knew that these were all fake. If there really was reincarnation, someone would have naturally led them to the mountains long ago. There was no way they would have made great achievements in the mortal world.
However, the practice of Taoism is to seek the truth through the unreal, which is the same as the Taoist Yuandan's approach.
Moreover, these three are not as good as Yuandan Taoist, who was completely fabricated by Cheng Xinzhan based on Miao folk customs. Instead, this rumor has existed since Song Dynasty to Ming Dynasty. He just summarized and added some plots about thunder soldiers and generals using thunder magic to sweep the demon city and ghost country.
He had already completed the visualization of the three inner gods in his body, and naturally the book had come to an end. He turned to the latest page and wrote:
"... Zhang Shuye and his two sons, along with the thirty-six thunder generals, led a hundred thousand thunder soldiers and finally wiped out the Netherworld Ghost Kingdom, and returned to the capital. ... The Emperor of the Song Dynasty conferred the title of Kaifu Yitong Sansi on Zhang Shuye, and promoted him to Duke of Yan... It was said that the world was at peace, the weapons were put away, and the horses were released to the mountains. Duke of Yan finally felt relieved and returned to heaven. He transformed himself back into the Thunder Chief, Shenwei Dangmo Pili Zhenjun, and paid a visit to the Thirty-six Heavens Nine Heavens Yingyuan Leisheng Puhua Tianzun to report... General Shenlei Qiuguan and General Shuilei Xiaguan also completed their merits...
"The whole book is finished."
He closed the book, put down his pen, and smiled with satisfaction.
When he first thought about the gods inside Lei's house, he naturally thought of Lei Zu, but he soon gave up. Lei Zu's status was too high, and he couldn't even visualize his form, let alone his divine will. He had also never heard of the rumor that Lei Zu was reborn in a lower status, so he had no idea where to start.
Later, by chance, when he went to Huangshan, he heard his master Jianxian say that in the mortal world, there was a great disciple of Lei Zu, the Lord of Thunder, the God of Thunder and the True Lord of Thunder, and his servants, the General of Thunder Autumn Official and the General of Water Thunder Xia Official, who were reincarnated in the Northern Song Dynasty. He immediately became interested.
After returning to the sect, he collected many portraits, miracles, anecdotes of the Demon-Subduing God and his two attendant generals, as well as portraits, historical materials, battle examples, etc. of Zhang Shuye, a civil official and general in the Northern Song Dynasty. The more he thought about it, the more appropriate it seemed to him. Taking into account the special effects of the "Thunder Chariot and Fire Flag Moving Technique", he decided to open up three thunder houses to visualize the three inner gods.
In addition to the existing gallbladder orifice and nasal orifice, he also read the "Zhou Tian Baiqiao Nei Jing" and consulted his fellow disciples in Ying Yuan Mansion. Finally, he newly determined the Yin Tang as the third thunder house. When he reaches the second realm and realizes the life treasure in the future, he can consider opening the Dharma Eye here.
After determining the acupoints and inner gods, he remembered the method he used to visualize Yuandan Taoist, but this time he did not paint, he wrote a book directly. Sure enough, writing a book helped him to sort out his thoughts, and after writing a million words, he had successfully visualized all three inner gods.
Moreover, after the visualization of the three inner gods was successful, it became easier for him to attract lightning. Since the first time he attracted lightning, he ran into Liang Zhenjing from Longhu Mountain twice more. Each time, he attracted more lightning than him, which made him so angry that his eyes turned red whenever they met.
He attracted more lightning, and with the help of the multi-carriage transporting magic method of "Thunder Chariot and Fire Flag", he was able to ward off evil spirits faster and faster, and now most of his upper body could move freely.
However, what really made him progress rapidly in his practice were Meijisan's fundamental methods, "The Secret Meaning of Changsheng Taiyuan Xianshen" and the staff release method.
It is said in "The Secret of Changsheng Taiyuan Xianshen" that people have three souls and seven spirits. The three souls are called: Taiguang, Shuangling and Youjing, and the seven spirits are called: Corpse Dog, Fushi, Queyin, Swallowing Thief, Non-Poison, Eliminating Filth and Stinky Lung.
The three souls represent nature, the seven spirits represent life, and there is also the saying that the soul and the spirit wander around the body, so the soul can wander outside, but the spirit can only stay in the body.
Among the three souls, Tai Guang is the soul of life, which controls life span and governs the seven spirits. If Tai Guang is present, life is present, if life is present, the seven spirits are present, and if the seven spirits are present, the body is alive. Tai Guang does not easily leave the body. If Tai Guang leaves the body, the seven spirits will disperse and the physical body will die. If Tai Guang leaves the body and wants to return to life through a corpse, it will have to give birth to the seven spirits again, which is extremely difficult.
Previously, Patriarch Tongxuan and Master Sukong lifted up Cheng Xinzhan's soul and put it into the bamboo stick, but in fact they lifted up Shuangling and Youjing. However, at that time, Cheng Xinzhan's fetal light and seven spirits were in a daze, and he only relied on instinct, so after Shuangling and Youjing left his body, his body was like a living dead, and it looked as if all his three souls and seven spirits were taken out.
Shuangling is the soul of wisdom, Youjing is the soul of emotion, and you can understand the meaning by seeing the words, no need to explain in detail.
After practicing "The Secret Meaning of the Longevity and Manifestation of the Fetal God", the fetal light is no longer muddy. After the Shuangling and Youjing leave the body, the fetal light can still summon the seven spirits to act on their own, allowing breathing and blood circulation to be normal. In conjunction with the inner scene god that has been established, one can still practice by eating air.
After the physical body is completely transformed and you have practiced "The Secret Meaning of the Longevity and Taiyuan Manifestation of the Gods" more deeply, your spirit will be able to travel freely and your physical body will be able to walk freely, cast spells and practice. At most, it will just look a little dazed.
In the past few months, he has been using the fetal light, seven souls, and inner spirit to control his body, and to eat air to eliminate evil spirits and open up the meridians. Now most of the meridians from the lung orifice to the twelfth floor have been opened. The next step is to open up the Golden Palace.
At the same time, he used Shuang Ling You Jing to control the bamboo body and practiced thunder, sword, wind and other techniques. His practice improved by leaps and bounds.
This is the confidence that makes Meiji Mountain dare to set the rule of recruiting disciples in the four realms, this is the confidence that makes Meiji Mountain, with a small population, firmly sit on the Eight Lotus Veins, and this is the confidence that there are endless new masters!
But at the same time, this is also the reason why Meiji Mountain has so few people and the examination for accepting disciples is so strange!
Cheng Xinzhan put away "The Thunderbolt Shakes the Demons" and prepared to ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to send it to the Taoist temple on Mount Sanqing on earth, print it on woodblocks, and broadcast it to the world. This would not only help boost the reputation of the Lei Dao, but also help to enhance his inner divine nature. He had already thought of a pen name, which was Qianshen Zhaizhu.
Looking outside the cave, he saw white snow falling, but the red fruits on the persimmon tree were becoming more and more vivid. He became interested, cleaned the table, took out a large piece of white paper and spread it on the table. He picked up his pen to sketch the scenery, chanting:
"As autumn turns to winter, everything rests, only the persimmon tree hangs a lantern."
The third sister in his arms moved, indicating that the master was distracted, and the hand that was scratching his back stopped.
Cheng Xinzhan laughed, scratched the cat with his left hand, drew persimmons with his right hand, and continued to chant:
"The crane lamp in Wuyou Cave is warm, and my raccoon and I will not go out."

In addition:
The prototype of "Thunderbolt Exorcists" in this chapter is "Outlaws of the Marsh", but it only adopts the setting of the reincarnation of the Thunder God, and is by no means a fanfare of "Outlaws of the Marsh". Please treat it rationally, book lovers.
