Chapter 137: Jade Liquid Refining Form
Chapter 137: Jade Liquid Refining Form (Happy New Year to Everyone!)
Mo Taidian, the sixth-generation disciple of Meijishan, mistakenly entered this pond and saw the Dragon Palace. He was shocked at first, but then laughed. He then added three palaces to complete the fun of his master and to pay homage to the sages of later generations.
Zou Wuhui, the tenth generation disciple of Meiji Mountain, entered the pond while learning water magic and was able to see the Dragon Palace. He saw the words left by his predecessors and added more palaces to complete the fun of his teachers, to make future generations laugh and to meet the sages of later generations.
Ha! Master! You have been here too! ——The eleventh generation disciple of Meiji Mountain, An Weigu.
Yuan Miaoling, the thirteenth generation disciple of Meiji Mountain, came here to look for his favorite golden fish because his golden fish escaped. He was surprised to see the palace and happy to see the words. He left five hundred kilograms of crystal, one thousand kilograms of Han jade, and two thousand kilograms of pearls and agates for the needs of future generations.
Li Jixiang, the fifteenth generation disciple of Meiji Mountain, entered this pond while searching for a cave. He used the treasures left by his master to add four more temples to complete the charm of Meiji Mountain and to pay homage to the sages of later generations.
The nineteenth generation disciple of Meiji Mountain, who was well-versed in Taoism at the time, liked swimming and entered this pool. When he saw the interesting people and scenery of Meiji Mountain, he was really happy, so he added three temples and paid homage to the sages of later generations.
The 22nd generation disciples of Meiji Mountain, Wen Sukong and Chen Suxing, entered this pool in search of mystery. At that time, there were already 22 palaces in the Dragon Palace, which was truly a magnificent sight. We will add six more, making a total of 28, and ask for a visit from the sages of later generations.
Cheng Xinzhan read it word by word and found it really interesting. It turned out that many ancestors in the past would build palaces for their own entertainment besides practicing.
Moreover, seeing the three generations of ancestors, Wu, Miao and Ji, made him feel confused about time and space, because there are mostly people of this generation in the mountains now.
Seeing the names of Grandmaster Tongxuan and his master and uncle, he was deeply moved. When the elders carved the words, they were probably about the same age as he is now, right?
After seeing the stone tablet, he also understood that this place had a flat mountain, caves, and small ponds. It was such a precious place, why didn't the previous teachers and elders build caves here? It turned out that it was not because there were no caves here, but that the people who were interested in this place went down to the pond and saw the things left by their elders, so they left.
I was the only one who stayed there without even taking a shower.
But it doesn't matter. A sage with the same name as me once said, "Life is like an inn, and I am a traveler." The Dragon Palace at the bottom of the pond has witnessed the coming and going of nearly twenty generations of masters and apprentices in Meiji Mountain. However, the Dragon Palace remains, but the people who built it are gradually dying out.
Hundreds of years later, he will turn into dry bones and hide under Mount Meiji or ascend to heaven. Naturally, this place will be ownerless again. I believe that by then some descendants will accidentally come to the bottom of the pond and see the magnificent scene again.
I will not mention what happened later for now, but just say that in the next few hundred years, I will naturally write an inscription to expand the palace, so as to preserve this good story and pay homage to the sages of later generations.
Besides, there is a saying that goes, "It's not the depth of the water that matters, but the presence of a dragon will tell the difference." Since there is a Crystal Palace here, why not invite the dragons to rest here?
Green Chi came here in misfortune. He had few friends and was all alone. He was overjoyed every time he saw me. It would be more lively to have him as a neighbor, and it would also be much more convenient for me to treat his illness and make medicine for him.
Cheng Xinzhan thought of this and then flew up without stopping.
Lao Bai was amazed at the long heritage and elegant immortal taste of Meiji Mountain. He was watching in amazement when he saw the cave owner suddenly leave. He no longer had time to appreciate the beauty of the Dragon Palace and hurried to catch up.
After Cheng Xinzhan came out of the pond, he left Meiji Mountain directly and went to Songlu Lake.
When he arrived at Songlu Lake, he looked at the tall green pines and thought that if the green dragon was willing to go over there, he would have to dig some of the green pines over to make sure the green dragon would not be unable to adapt.
When Lu Chi saw Cheng Xinzhan coming over again, he was delighted, thinking that this busy man had become quite free recently and came to see him often.
As soon as he came, he asked,
"Fellow Daoist Gu, there is a good place in front of my cave, a clear pond. Would you like to come with me to take a look and use it as a place to rest? It will be much more convenient for me to treat your illness and deliver medicine to you in the future."
Hearing this, Lu Chi felt confused, wondering why this person was like this. He had just said not long ago that he would bring his friends to see him, but he hadn't transformed yet, so what was there to meet?
But he wanted to bring his friends to see me, which seemed to be nothing wrong. I finally hardened my heart and refused, but not long after, he asked me to go to his cave again.
How can this be good?
She was distraught.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, the pool in front of my cave is quite large. The bottom of the pool is not smaller than this lake. It is enough for you to play in it on weekdays."
"If I go to his place, how will we get along? He calls me a fellow Taoist, but how can fellow Taoists live together every day? He is a busy man practicing cultivation, and I am lazy and like to play around. Will I disturb him?"
"Friend Gu, to be honest, there is a dragon palace under my pond!"
"But he wanted to bring his friends to see me last time, and I didn't agree. If I refuse again this time, will he be angry?"
"By the way, Fellow Daoist Gu, I also have marine fish in my pond!"
"Why don't I just agree to his request this time? In Sanqing Mountain, no one recognizes me except him and the sword fairy who saved my life. I'll just be ashamed!"
Cheng Xinzhan looked at the green Chi who had been silent for a long time and was at a loss. Just as he was about to say forget it, he saw the green Chi nodded with his eyes closed.
He couldn't help but smile. It seemed that nothing else he said would work. He still had to rely on food to lure her out.
When Lu Chi saw his triumphant smile, she felt even more ashamed, but she finally mustered up the courage to nod. She was unwilling to regret it, so she turned around and sank to the bottom of the lake. Since she was moving, she naturally had to take all her belongings with her.
While Cheng Xinzhan was waiting outside, he dug up three pine trees. There was no need for more. After all, the pond mouth was really small. If there were more, it would appear dark and the roots would damage the medicinal fields.
After a while, the green dragon shyly showed its head.
Cheng Xinzhan knew at a glance why the green dragon was hiding. Indeed, it would not be good for a rare dragon to be paraded around in public like this.
"Follow me, my friend. I will use a magic trick to conceal your figure."
Lu Chi was delighted after hearing this, thinking that this man had finally come to his senses. A dragon cannot just meet people before it transforms!
Fortunately, Cheng Xinzhan was very good at illusion and could even conceal the dragon. Like a thief, he took the green dragon and returned to Meizhi Mountain along the western foot of Dongping Ridge.
When we arrived at Wuyou Cave, everyone in the family, one adult and two children, were waiting there. The host left without saying a word, which was a rare thing.
Cheng Xinzhan came to the edge of the pond and said,
"Wait for brother, third sister, and Lao Bai, we will have one more person in Wuyou Cave in the future."
The three goblins didn't understand what this meant.
Cheng Xinzhan removed the illusion, and a emerald green dragon appeared in the sky.
When my brother and third sister were taken by Cheng Xinzhan to Songlu Lake to see the green dragon, they were surprised but not frightened.
When the brother lay on the ground, not daring to move, but wagging his tail vigorously. The third sister was bolder, meowing at the green dragon, and even went to the pond to catch fish for the green dragon. Green dragon had treated her to food when they went to Songlu Lake before, and the third sister remembered the favor.
When Lu Chi saw the fish in the pond, she was immediately delighted. She didn't hear what Cheng Xinzhan said just now. Only now did she realize that she would have to live in the food nest.
But poor Old Bai had never seen such a magical thing before, and he fainted with his eyes rolled back.
This scared Lu Chi, and he looked at Cheng Xinzhan in panic.
Cheng Xinzhan smiled and ignored Lao Bai. He said to Lu Chi,
"Gu Daoyou, this is it."
After saying that, he took the lead and dived into the water.
Green Chi also followed in. It was her first time here, so she was quite careful. Such a huge creature didn't even create a splash when it entered the water.
When they reached the bottom of the pool and saw the Crystal Palace, Green Dragon's green eyes shone brightly. She looked at Cheng Xinzhan timidly, indicating that this was really for her to live in.
Cheng Xinzhan smiled and nodded. The characters of the masters could be seen from the words left on the stone tablet. If they knew that their disciple had invited a Chilong to live in the house, they would be happy and would not be surprised.
Lu Chi looked at Cheng Xinzhan, then at the Crystal Palace, and his heart felt as sweet as if he had eaten honey.
----
In the 432nd year of the Ming Dynasty, it was the summer solstice and the sun was scorching hot.
The medicinal fields are growing very well, with various plants thriving, some even blooming and exuding fragrance.
Beside the small pond, three pine trees stood in a triangular shape. Under the trees stood a bamboo rocking chair, on which a young Taoist priest was lying with a calico cat in his arms. In his hand, he was holding a medical book, which he placed on the cat.
A big white dog was lying next to it, with a white mouse sitting on its head.
At this moment, the white mouse shook his head and taught the spell.
"The sky and the earth are boundless, and the pursuit is thousands of miles away. Good winds are trustworthy, and the thick earth leaves traces. Sniff!"
The white dog was grunting, and I don't know if it had learned it or not.
The Taoist priest saw that the medicine on the stove next to him had cooled down, so he picked it up and poured it into the pond.
"Open your mouth."
he shouted.
"Wow--"
The water in the small pond surged and splashed, revealing a green dragon head.
The green dragon opened its mouth and swallowed all the medicine.
Cheng Xinzhan took the opportunity to glance into the green dragon's throat and nodded slightly.
When Green Chi first moved in, he carefully examined its throat, which was purple-black in color and felt cold from the outside. He looked up medical books and discovered that this should be a manifestation of "Yin deficiency and throat congestion", in which Yin Qi blocked the throat, making it unable to speak.
Medical books said that the disease of "Yin deficiency throat congestion" was either caused by injury in the mother's womb or by the throat being pierced by a Yin object. He asked Lu Chi whether he had ever had his throat injured by a Yin object in the past.
Lu Chi gave him an affirmative answer. When she was fleeing in Shu, a cold flying sword once pierced her throat.
Knowing the cause of the disease makes it easier to deal with it. Cheng Xinzhan followed the prescription in the medical book and boiled medicine for Green Chi, which it took every day. Thirteen months have passed now, and the purple-black color in Green Chi's throat has faded for the most part, gradually returning to its pink flesh color.
During this year, Cheng Xinzhan read a lot of books about the throat orifice, not only medical books, but also the evolution of the Twelve-story Tower, the reason for identifying the throat orifice as the Yun House, and even the characteristics of the transverse bone of the demon race.
The result was that before Lu Chi's throat paralysis was cured, he had already successfully opened up the twelve floors of the building and opened up a twelfth-floor cloud residence.
As for the deity inside the Yun residence, he visualized the Teng Snake.
The so-called Teng Snake is a kind of dragon that can create clouds and mist and swim in them.
The Teng Snake is an alien mythical beast that is born with the ability to control clouds and fog. There are also rumors that the Teng Snake is the offspring of the Northern Zhiming God.
The visualization picture of the Teng Snake originated from the Green Chi, or in other words, it was the private collection of his father Gu Yi.
Now, the crystal palace at the bottom of the pool has been decorated extremely gorgeously by the green dragons, so building the crystal palace should be done by dragons.
Last year, Cheng Xinzhan went to the Crystal Palace to play with Green Chi, and saw a painting of "Green Snake Riding the Mist" hanging in Green Chi's bedroom. He stared at it for a long time, and then he succeeded in visualization.
Afterwards, he read books frequently and gained a deeper understanding of the throat orifices. Soon, he opened Yunzhai.
Now, there are vipers shuttling up and down in the twelve-story building, creating clouds and fog. The speed and volume of his spiritual energy intake and exhalation are far greater than before, and his accumulated magic power is already extremely abundant.
In addition, there is water hidden in the clouds. The Cloud House is also known as the Twelve-Story Tower, which is the place where jade fluid is generated. During this year, he studied the throat orifice and the Cloud House in depth, and also realized a magical power by himself. This magical power is not only related to the throat orifice and the Cloud House, but also to the kidney orifice and the water palace. He named it "Jade Liquid Refining the Body".
It is said in Taiyi Jinhua Zongzhi that divine fire, intention earth and essence water are the supreme secrets of pure yang inner elixir.
In the Fengyin Hall of the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain, he comprehended the Pure Yang Divine Fire and the art of defending his mind in the face of imminent danger.
During this year, he cultivated his life, planted flowers and plants, experienced vitality, read medical books, and learned a lot of health-preserving methods. With the guidance of Green Chi, a water dragon, he finally understood the essence of water.
In Taiyi Jinhua Zongzhi, spirit, intention and essence all refer to emptiness and mystery, but this essence is related to the physical body.
The body is young and tender, middle-aged and strong, and old and weak. What affects the physical body is the essence. When the essence moisturizes the body, the body becomes strong and powerful. But where does the essence come from?
Two places, the fluid of the Twelve-story Tower and the fluid of the kidneys.
His supernatural power is not for fighting or attacking, but for maintaining health and protecting the Tao.
When the supernatural power is in operation, the kidney fluid rises, and when passing through the heart palace, the heart palace sends out a wisp of pure yang fire to help the kidney water rise. At the same time, it also harmonizes yin and yang and removes the dampness in the kidney fluid. The kidney water flows into the Twelve Floors and combines with the jade fluid produced in the throat. This is the real essence water.
Then swallow the semen, which is refined by the Twelve-Layered Tower and falls into the Crimson Palace. From the Crimson Palace it is distributed to the Five Palaces, and further to the limbs and bones, moisturizing the whole body.
This is "Refining the Body with Jade Liquid".
After practicing "Jade Liquid Body Refining", he further felt that his body was as light as a swallow, and his face looked like a child again. He was already twenty-four years old, but his body was like a jade tree or a green pine, and his figure was tall and straight, but his face still looked like he was seventeen or eighteen years old. Compared with when he first entered the mountains, he was just more confident and indifferent, but everything else seemed to have not changed.
Now, when Feng Jihu saw this, he said that Cheng Xinzhan had a method of health preservation and it would be very beneficial for him to take a break to practice.
Having said that, to be honest, although he had not practiced full-time for a year, he felt that his understanding of the Five Elements had grown rapidly while growing flowers and decocting medicine.
Medicine is made of wood and stone, occupying the wood and metal elements. It grows in the soil, and then is thrown into water and cooked over fire, which completes the five elements.
Among them, using water and fire to extract medicinal properties gave him great inspiration. He had yang fire and yin water, as well as divine fire and essence water in his body. Couldn't he also temper his body and soul?
Now that you have figured out "Refining the Body with Jade Liquid", how far are you from figuring out "Refining the Body with the Heart and Kidneys" and "Refining the Soul with Water and Fire"?
