Chapter 90 Bai Yujing in the Sky

Chapter 90 Bai Yujing in the Sky

The twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Cheng Xinzhan put down his brush, blew the paper dry, and completed another painting of "Daytime Taoist Subduing the Demon".

He promised to replace the door paintings for Lixi Village in the mountains of Miaojiang every year. He painted a lot in Miaojiang last year, so it is enough for this year and he doesn't need to make a special trip. But he has to save them for the next few years.

Compared to last year, his painting skills haven't improved much this year, but the yang fire in his paintings is more vigorous. I'm sure the old village chief will be happier to see it.

It was snowing heavily outside the cave, and he didn't want to go out for the time being. He just took this opportunity to plan his future path.

When he was still far away from the Pihuo Mansion, he was already thinking about the scenery inside the Jin Mansion. He had long been interested in the golden corpse and was thinking of going to the northwest to look for the corpse.

However, man proposes, God disposes. By accident he saw the Golden Kylin Corpse Immortal ascend to heaven in Gyeongju, and thus formed the Kylin Golden Corpse Inner Scene God.

But if he hadn't planned ahead, he wouldn't have taken it so seriously when he saw the Qilin corpse, and he wouldn't have asked the corpse fairy, "What is the golden nature?"

He has now formed the inner scene of the Golden Palace, and can open it up as long as the thunder lava dissolves the true evil of the Golden Palace, so now he should plan for the next internal organ.

Fire was made in the air, and gold was refined in the fire. Now there were only three elements left: earth, wood, and water. He thought about it and found that the next order was very clear.

Metal produces water, earth produces metal, and metal cuts down wood, which is different from fire that refines real gold. Although they are mutually exclusive, they also have a complementary effect. It is true that metal has no beneficial effect on wood, so in the order of the five elements, the next one is water or earth.

Looking at the heavenly stems, we can see that they are divided into Yin and Yang. Currently, they are Bing Fire and Xin Metal. According to the order of Yin and Yang, the next step should be Yang again, which is Wu Earth or Ren Water.

But now let's look at the Bing Fire in the Heart Palace from the opposite perspective. In the Five Elements, water and fire correspond to Yin and Yang, and in the Five Internal Organs, the heart and kidneys are the two poles. Since the Yang Fire has been determined, it should be Yin Water.

If it is Bing Fire and Ren Water, Yang is strong and Yin is weak, and Yin and Yang are unbalanced, which is not appropriate.

In this way, the only thing after Xin metal can be Wu earth, and after Wu earth can be Gui water, and finally Jia wood.

Moreover, the spleen is the third palace to be opened up, which also corresponds to the statement that earth is one of the five elements.

Finally, Jia wood turns around and helps boost the momentum of Bing fire, thus completing the rotation of the five elements. With the mutual generation of yin and yang, the five palaces are settled and the Jiang Palace can be expected.

Wu Earth.

Cheng Xinzhan wrote these two words on a new piece of white paper.

In his order of opening the palace, Wu Earth is located between Xin Metal and Gui Water. If it happens to a person, this would be an extremely noble fate.

The Taoist book "Ditiansui" also says: "Earth is solid and heavy, it is both central and correct. It is still and moving, and it governs the lives of all things."

Putting them together, what matches Cheng Xinzhan's spleen is a mountain of wealth and honor that is upright, heavy, and holds the power of life and death.

A name suddenly came to his mind.

Mount Tai.

Mount Tai is the mountain where emperors of all dynasties have performed Fengshan rituals. It is invaluable and, as the chief of the Five Great Mountains, it is naturally upright and heavy.

Mount Tai determines life and death, and overlooking the East China Sea also fits the presence of Xin metal and Gui water.

If you think about it carefully, Laoshan might be a good choice too.

Laoshan is the first fairy mountain near the sea. It is also said to be the ancestor of sea dragons and the leader of all ghosts. It also possesses the connotations of dignity, heaviness, life and death, and proximity to water.

But what’s interesting is that these two fairy mountains are both in Qi and Lu.

There are so many gods and immortals associated with these two fairy mountains that you have to think carefully about which one to choose as the inner god. It’s not too late to think about it after you see the mountains in person.

He probably had an idea about the spleen palace, and the other thing he needed to think about was the wind house.

He has been practicing wind magic for nine months. Wind is invisible and intangible, and when he first started learning it, it felt even more difficult than thunder magic.

The language in "Tian Gang Di Xun Ren Ling Zhang Shen Ben Jing" is obscure and difficult to understand, and it sets the tone of wind very high.

The "Ben Jing" says that the wind in the sky is the Gangfeng, and the movement of all clouds, stars, and the Big Dipper is driven by the Gangfeng, which is a force at the same level as the long river of time.

The passage of time, the transformation of the world, and the passing of youth and old age are nothing but the passing of strong winds a thousand times.

When the wind is on the ground, it is the Xun wind. All spiritual energy flows, and life and death are driven by the Xun wind. When the Xun wind blows, the spiritual energy flows. When the Xun wind stops, fog and miasma accumulate.

Wind in the small world of the human body is called internal wind, and internal wind is even more illusory. The "Ben Jing" says that the beating of internal organs, the flow of blood, the circulation of magical powers and even the disorder of thoughts can cause wind. This wind is divided into positive wind and evil wind. When positive wind arises, thoughts are clear and the body is healthy. When evil wind arises, the person becomes confused and suffers from all kinds of diseases.

To be honest, he couldn't quite understand it, so he had to spend time trying to comprehend it.

Compared to the metaphysical "Ben Jing", the physical "Secret of the Wind Summoning and Flowing Transport" is much easier for him to understand. Now he can perform many wind techniques and some spells and talismans are also at his fingertips.

As for Fengzhai, "Ben Jing" also says that all the hundred orifices in the body can store wind, but the ear orifices and Fengchi are the most recommended. The ear orifices store external wind, while Fengchi stores internal wind.

Compared to internal wind, external wind is easier to figure out, so he planned to open his ears first, but he had no idea about the scene inside the ears.

As for the Twelve-Story Tower, he ate the Morning Mist in the morning and drank the Evening Mist in the evening every day. Now, six floors have been opened, but he still has not selected a suitable inner scene god.

Thinking of this, he sighed, there is indeed a long way to go!

"Heart-to-heart!"

"Heart-to-heart!"

Someone was shouting outside the cave.

He stretched his head and looked. It was the morning glory planted at the entrance of the cave, which was planted by Taoist Brother Jihu.

Although it was snowing, the morning glories still bloomed as usual, all year round, some were blue, some were purple, and some were yellow.

Now the voice of Brother Jihu came from one of the flowers.

"Xinzhan, are you there?"

"I'm here! What can I do for you, brother?"

Cheng Xinzhan replied.

"Let's go to Dongtiandao Diaoyuji to meet now. We are going on a long journey."

Cheng Xinzhan was a little surprised. Why did he suddenly want to go out? He asked, "Where are you going?"

Laughter came from the morning glory, "I don't know either. You'll know when you come. Brother Miaoshu organized the party and said it was a fun place. By the way, Miaoyuan asked you to bring your third sister along. He said he missed her."

"it is good!"

He agreed. Since it was set up by Taoist Brother Miaoshu, they must be the same people who went to Huangshan. After they came back, their relationship had obviously become much closer, and they often met in private to discuss Taoism.

Also, because Cheng Xinzhan was practicing in Yingyuan Prefecture and often went to the yamen with He Jiyuan, He Jiyuan later joined in.

Light and shadow floated around his body again, and Shuang Ling and You Jing attached themselves to Zhu again.

The brother noticed it immediately and looked towards Zhu Shen. The third sister couldn't see and reacted slower. She found that the hand she was touching suddenly stiffened and then she realized what was going on.

He smiled and said, "I'll take you with me this time!"

The third sister let out a "meow" and jumped from the arms of the sitting flesh body into the arms of the bamboo body, waiting for her brother to also turn her tail.

He put up the cover again and went out.

We soon arrived at Dongtiandao Fishing Rock, where there is a huge rock sticking out into the sea of ​​clouds. There is a dwarf pine on the rock. From a distance, it looks like a fisherman wearing a straw hat and a raincoat fishing, hence the name.

At this time, Feng Jihu, He Jiyuan and Wang Miaoyuan had all arrived.

As soon as Wang Miaoyuan saw Cheng Xinzhan coming, she immediately shouted,

"Third sister!"

The third sister hid in her master's arms and pretended not to hear.

"Hey, Third Sister, look what this is, come into my arms quickly."

Wang Miaoyuan took out a handful of grass, and the fragrant smell made the third sister unable to pretend. She jumped from Cheng Xinzhan's arms to Wang Miaoyuan's arms and began to eat the grass. Taking advantage of this gap, Wang Miaoyuan quickly took action and touched it left and right.

Soon, the third sister finished eating the grass and jumped back into her owner's arms without any reluctance.

"Third sister, third sister, you are so hard-hearted!"

Wang Miaoyuan cried.

At this time, Sun Miaoshu, Xu Jishen and Zhu Jianmo also arrived.

"Miaoshu, where are we going?"

Wang Miaoyuan asked, it seemed he didn't know either.

"Come with me first, and you'll know when you get there."

Sun Miaoshu said with a smile.

Then, the six of them built a cloud together and flew straight into the sky.

Zhu Jianmo came close to Cheng Xinzhan.

"Little Taoist, I haven't heard of it."

"What did you hear?"

Cheng Xinzhan was confused.

Zhu Jianmo smiled mysteriously, "I have specifically inquired about it. The current emperor has been suffering from illness for more than ten years, and his health has been getting worse year by year. The imperial doctors have tried all kinds of prescriptions, but to no avail. He has not attended court for more than ten years. After Senior Jin Mingzi ascended to heaven, the emperor's illness inexplicably healed. The emperor thought it was a manifestation of his ancestors, so he ordered the reconstruction of the imperial mausoleum and worked hard to govern the country, as if to make up for the past ten years without attending court."

Cheng Xinzhan smiled when he heard this, "That would be a good thing for the people of the world."

Zhu Jianmo nodded and said, "Have you ever inquired about your own life experience?"

He shook his head and said slowly:

"My father's name is Tingxian, which means "Ting" in imperial court and "Xian" in wise minister. He was born in the Hanlin Academy and his family has been officials for generations. My mother's name is Mingjun, which means "Ming" in Ming Dynasty and "Jun" in Wang Jun. She never told me her background, but her surname is Zhu. And I was named Yunqi, which means misty smoke and free clouds."

Zhu Jianmo seemed to be thinking about something.

"When I was young, the books my parents taught me to read were Taoist books, not Confucian books. When I was older, my parents only taught me the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and never taught me the eight-legged essay for the imperial examination. Before, I thought my parents were tired of the officialdom and the system of rulers, ministers, fathers and sons. But after Senior Jin Mingzi exposed my identity that day, I naturally figured out that there was another reason.

"My parents never told me the truth before they passed away. They definitely didn't want me to know those things. Why should I bother to find out the truth?"

Zhu Jianmo nodded, said it was rare to be ignorant, and secretly blamed himself for talking too much.

The group flew over the Neon Sea and the Milky Sea, and were still flying upwards.

"Brother Dao, are we going to explore the end of the mountain protection formation?"

Xu Jishen said with a smile.

Unexpectedly, Sun Miaoshu nodded and said, "Not bad."

Everyone was surprised, and Feng Jihu said, "The end of the mountain protection formation is probably the third heaven!"

Sun Miaoshu smiled and said, "We have to go to the Third Heaven. The mountain protection formation leads directly to the Third Heaven. This is the most convenient way for us to go to the Third Heaven. If we go outside the sect, we will have to go through thunder and gale!"

"Oh!"

Xu Jishen shouted, "Miaoshu, you have broken through the second realm! Are you going to take us to Baiyujing?!"

Sun Miaoshu laughed when he heard this, "Exactly, I taught you to see it first!"

Hearing this, everyone congratulated.

Cheng Xinzhan also congratulated him, but he didn't understand, so he asked, "Brother Jishen, what does Brother Miaoshu's breakthrough to the second realm have to do with our trip to Baiyujing? What is Baiyujing?"

The remaining few didn't understand either, and they all looked at Xu Jishen.

Xu Jishen explained, "The first heaven is where clouds, rain, thunder and lightning are born, the second heaven is where strong winds rage, and the third heaven is rainless and windless, with a clear sky and white clouds like snow fields. Baiyujing is in the third heaven. The third heaven is also a hurdle. You have to wade through wind and thunder, and it is at a very high place. Ordinary cloud vehicles can no longer go up. You have to break through the first realm, and the five elements in your body rotate endlessly. Only with Feng Xu's ability to control the wind can you fly up.

"As for what Baiyujing is, I was taken there once by my senior brother. You will know it later."

He kept the story in suspense and refused to tell the whole story.

At this time, the sky was extremely cold. Cheng Xinzhan didn't feel it because he was a bamboo, but Wang Miaoyuan was shivering with his chest open and still resisting. When Sun Miaoshu saw this, he activated the five elements of magic power and formed a bubble with colorful light to cover everyone, and the others felt better.

As they got higher, the speed of the crowd's cloud chariots gradually slowed down. Later, everyone simply withdrew their cloud chariots and stood on Sun Miaoshu's magic shield, becoming more and more curious.

It was not until they passed a thick layer of clouds that seemed as high as the sky that the view in front of them suddenly became clear. The sky was indeed clear, with clouds under their feet and no wind or clouds above their heads.

"Fortunately, I am walking within the sect, which is convenient. Before, I almost used up all my mana when I went to Baiyujing outside the mountain. I was scared at that time."

Sun Miaoshu breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he led everyone to fly eastward.

After flying for a while in the boundless sky, something different appeared in everyone's eyes.

He Jiyuan rubbed his eyes and looked at the things that were gradually getting bigger in his eyes. He was a little bit unbelievable.
"what is that?"

Cheng Xinzhan was also stunned. Looking at what was in front of him, he didn't know if it was an illusion or a mirage.

Well, it looks like a city?

Is there a city in the third heaven?

When they got closer, everyone was finally convinced that this was not an illusion or a mirage, there really was a city here.

This city is built on the clouds, 500 miles away from the ground. The city wall is eighty feet high. The roofs of tall buildings in the city can be seen from afar, and people are coming and going on the wide streets. I wonder what kind of great power can make such a huge city float here.

“Is this the heaven?”

Zhu Jianmo asked.

No one laughed at him. Cheng Xinzhan had the same idea in his mind, and Sun Miaoshu had the same idea when he came for the first time.

"There are twelve towers and five cities in the White Jade Capital in the sky. This is one of the five cities, Peacock City, located in the southeast."

Sun Miaoshu murmured, this was his third time here, and he was still as shocked as the first time.

Led by Sun Miaoshu, several people flew towards the nearest city gate.

"Where exactly is Baiyujing?"

Before entering the city, someone asked impatiently.

Sun Miaoshu replied, "I haven't been here many times, so how can I explain it clearly? But I heard that it was built by the richest families in the cultivation world."

"When did this happen? Has it existed since ancient times?"

Cheng Xinzhan asked.

Sun Miaoshu shook his head. "Baiyujing was built during the Shoutang period, and it's only been four thousand years."

"What on earth is this for?"

he asked again.

"Visiting immortals, gathering friends, drinking, listening to music, singing and dancing, doing business, spending a fortune. This is a place of enjoyment and a den of money."
