Chapter 188 Soul Breakthrough, Possession Realm
Chapter 188 Soul Breakthrough, Possession Realm (Subscription Request)
When Duke Yansheng's eyes went dark, he didn't know that Xu Qing, the culprit who almost sent Beikong to the guillotine, was also nearby, and was planning to stop the mutinous officers and soldiers and the rioters.
It turned out that some time ago, after Xu Qing met General Yu, he planned military affairs and matters of public security with General Yu during the day, and practiced Taoism in the camp at night.
With Feng Qingtian's protection, Xu Qing practiced with a more peaceful mind.
It has to be said that practicing Taoism in a military camp is a very dangerous thing.
During this period, Xu Qing's soul slightly emerged from the shell, and the surrounding blood evil surged up, crushing Xu Qing's soul like a turning millstone.
His thoughts almost came to a standstill, and his soul seemed to be shattered.
If he had not practiced the Xuantian Visualization Method, and the blood and energy of the Golden Light Mantra could not transform the power of the soul, if it were another person at the peak of manifestation, practicing Taoism in the army like he did, within a few days his soul would be severely damaged, leaving serious sequelae, and his future path would be cut off.
This method of practicing Taoism is more dangerous than practicing with the physical body on the seabed near the coast.
The suffocating pressure even exceeded Xu Qing's expectations at the beginning.
But its effect on tempering the soul is indeed great.
Moreover, after Xu Qing offered advice to General Yu, his mind became clear.
Because the imperial court originally intended to severely punish or even exterminate the rioters.
This is not a bad thing for Xu Qing, because if the court loses the support of the people, the situation in the world will become more and more chaotic, and Xu Qing will naturally get many opportunities.
However, Xu Qing still hoped that these people who had been oppressed so harshly could escape the suppression of the imperial court.
Even if there is no benefit in doing this, Xu Qing is willing to do it.
As soon as he thought of this, he had an epiphany.
Benevolence, righteousness and conscience are also parts of civilization and culture that are deeply rooted in people and are rooted in their hearts.
Civilization and culture are constantly evolving in history.
There are drivers of profit, but there are also things beyond profit.
In ancient times, people would use humans as sacrifices to worship their ancestors and the gods; but as civilization continued to progress, this method naturally fell into disuse.
A gentleman stays away from the kitchen but eats meat.
Although I feel reluctant to eat meat, it is my nature to eat meat.
The two are not in conflict.
Killing innocent lives, being cruel and sadistic, and taking pleasure in it are wrong, not killing.
Xu Qing's thoughts became clear, and his spirit and soul became increasingly pure under the grinding of the bloody evil in the military camp.
The Purple Emperor Dragon Armor also became more solid and strong during this process.
At some point, Xu Qing seemed to have understood something, and his mind and spirit became clear, transparent, and extremely comfortable.
An idea suddenly occurred to him that he had finally broken through the bottleneck of the peak of manifestation and reached the realm of spiritual possession.
Practicing Taoism in the army is like placing one's soul in a steel workshop. After going through thousands of tempering processes, his soul will be sublimated from iron to steel through repeated tempering.
Tougher and more stable.
Xu Qing seemed to have brushed away a section of fog in his life, revealing his deeper nature.
"The path of dual cultivation of Dharma and martial arts is the right one. Soul cultivation is to cultivate one's own nature. Knowing one's own nature is merit, and doing things according to one's own nature is virtue. However, there are too many obstacles and dangers in the world. If you do things completely based on your nature, you will naturally encounter many big troubles. At this time, you need martial arts as a guarantee so that you can do things according to your nature."
This is just like his previous life. If he hadn't struck the first blow to prevent a hundred blows from coming, if he hadn't created nuclear weapons, there would have been no stable environment for industrialization and laid the foundation for future rise.
This punch opened the gate of heaven and was also the awakening and cry of an ancient soul after a hundred years of decline, sweeping away its hesitation.
So is the family and the country, and so is the individual.
Xu Qing suddenly let out a long roar in the camp, which was endless.
His roar alarmed Feng Qingtian, the guardian outside.
He practiced flying swords, which was a kind of Taoist magical power, so he naturally understood the meaning behind Xu Qing's long roar.
"Spiritual possession!" Even though Feng Qingtian had traveled a lot and was knowledgeable, he had never imagined that the young champion he was going to serve would actually break through to the "possession" level in the military camp.
If you take this step, you will be among the masters of the world.
Even in the chaotic times of the previous dynasty, the golden age of Taoist and martial arts masters, the achievements of possession were extraordinary.
“The two Zhangs from the Taoist sect three hundred years ago might not have achieved such accomplishments at this age.” Feng Qingtian was extremely shocked.
The two Zhangs refer to the crazy Taoist Zhang Dian and the sloppy Taoist Zhang Sanfeng. Both of them are monumental figures in Taoism over the past three hundred years.
Zhang Dian, in particular, made a significant contribution when Emperor Taizu of our dynasty pacified the world.
After the task was accomplished, he disappeared without leaving behind even the Taoist tradition.
As for the sloppy Taoist, he is the founder of the Xuantian Shenglong Dao in the Longmen Sect of Taihe Mountain. After he achieved his Dao, he swept away all the demons in the world. In his prime, there were almost no powerful demons and evil ways heard in the world.
Among all the evil demons, only the master of the Seven Killing Demon Palace in Changbai Mountain can rival him. He has fought with him three times in his life, and each battle was earth-shattering.
On the other hand, Feng Qingtian was even more shocked considering that when Xu Qing broke through the possession, he was in a large military camp.
In such an environment, his flying sword skills would be greatly affected.
Xu Jieyuan was actually able to cultivate his soul here and achieve a breakthrough.
It’s incredible!
It seemed incredible to Feng Qingtian, but it was a natural outcome to Xu Qing.
Ever since the trip to Mount Longhu, Xu Qing had the foundation to break through to the realm of possession. The travels he had taken some time ago and the broadening of his horizons and knowledge had solidified his foundation.
After arriving at the camp, he offered advice to the people, his thoughts became clear, and after being tempered by blood and evil, everything came naturally.
This is like building a reservoir, accumulating water, and when the gates are opened to release the water, the force is like the Milky Way rushing across the sky, and nothing can stop it.
When Xu Qing left the tent, General Yu soon appeared in front of him and said in surprise, "Xu Jieyuan, you actually have such a magical skill. It's hard to hide it from me."
For a master of the spirit, his aura is hidden in his body, so even if one has the best eyesight, it is difficult to detect it.
Before this, General Yu had only heard that Xu Qing was good at martial arts, and that he had performed two masterpieces, the Battle of Giant Whale Island and the Battle of Dongming. He never expected that the other party's Taoist skills were much more powerful than the rumored martial arts.
However, he also understood that it was much easier for scholars to understand the truth and practice Taoism than for ordinary people.
Throughout the dynasties, there are many stories of great scholars who turned to Taoism and achieved sudden enlightenment.
If one is born with innate wisdom, practicing Taoism will be even easier.
Xu Qing smiled: "Soul Taoism is just a minor art. In front of the bloody army, even ghosts and immortals will be suppressed, not to mention that I am only a possessed cultivator now."
General Yu nodded slightly, but he also knew that such things were not absolute.
Zhang Jue, a great and virtuous teacher of the Taiping Dao, was able to determine the outcome of wars with his Taoist magic.
However, he was eventually besieged by the three greatest Taoist masters of the time, and was severely injured, without even the chance to reincarnate.
The next step for Xu Qing was to stabilize his state of mind.
After receiving the imperial order, he and General Yu took action separately.
General Yu led the army to the Yansheng Mansion to capture the rebels; while Xu Qing went to the camp of the Luojiao leader and other evil demons to contain them.
In General Yu's opinion, as long as the Confucius Mansion was captured, the mutinous officers and soldiers and the rioters would naturally realize the sincerity of the court and give up resistance.
Although Xu Qing went to the camp alone, Feng Qingtian and others were actually lying in ambush outside, ready to pick up Xu Qing at any time.
Even so, Xu Qing also observed the little snake of luck in advance.
……
When General Yu attacked the Yanshenggong Mansion.
Xu Qing appeared outside the camp and said, "Xu Qing, the top scholar in Nanzhili and a native of Jiangning Prefecture, is here to pay his respects to you."
He first introduced himself and covered the camp with thunder sounds.
With so many people, at least some of them must have heard of him.
Then Xu Qing said slowly, "My fellow countrymen from Dongshan Province, the court has already known that Bei Kong has committed the crime of treason. You are all righteous people who have fought for the country. There is no need to panic. I have already petitioned the court to exonerate you."
The killing power of his words is comparable to that of tens of thousands of troops.
The camp immediately became lively.
The pressure to rebel is great.
Now there seems to be a turn for the better, and many people have changed their minds.
For some reason, the leader of the Luo Sect felt relieved. He didn't really want to lead a rebellion.
This pressure is for everyone.
Xinyuehu sneered, "You are just spreading rumors to confuse the people. When will the court treat rebels well?"
The Luo Sect leader's mouth twitched, and he thought, "Is it appropriate for you to say that it is a lie to confuse the people?"
The stone man's one eye was made by the fox demon, and he has no idea at all.
The red-haired Yan Kong exhaled and said with a smile, "Xu Jieyuan, dare you come in and have a chat?"
"That's what I wish for." Xu Qing smiled casually outside the camp.
Then the camp gate opened, and the riot leaders and officers lined up on both sides, looking at the young Xu Jieyuan.
Someone whispered, "This is Xu Jieyuan who went straight to Yanshenggong Mansion."
"What Yanshenggong Mansion? It's nothing but a bastard of barbarians."
"Anyway, he actually dared to come here alone, which shows that he is very sincere."
"I heard that Jiangning Prefecture is very prosperous. My sister married there and sent me a piece of clothing." said one of the rioters.
He was forced to do something. At that time, if he didn't join in the chaos, he would be "made trouble"!
However, the people around me were quite envious when they heard about the clothes.
Nowadays, an ordinary tenant family of five may not be able to afford two complete sets of clothes, and they have to take turns wearing them when going out.
"Those people in Confucius' mansion would rather burn the raw silk than give it to everyone." When some people thought of this, they felt so angry that their teeth itched.
They only seized some of the farms of the Confucius family, and everyone became jealous.
Almost all of Beikong’s wealth is concentrated in Yanshenggong’s Mansion, which is probably a sea of gold and silver.
"We have killed a lot of people and there is no turning back. Everyone, don't listen to Xu Gongming's nonsense." At this time, some subordinates that Xin Yuehu had recently recruited were instigating in the crowd.
He was speaking in a foxy manner.
Suddenly I felt a knife-like gaze and looked over subconsciously.
Only Xu Jieyuan looked at him.
boom!
He was so frightened by Xu Jieyuan's gaze that he fainted.
The legendary "eye-beating".
Some officers saw this scene and were horrified.
"This is definitely Taoist magic. Performing Taoist magic in the military camp, are we too useless?" said an insightful general in horror.
He was dragged into the mutiny.
If I had not agreed at that time, I would probably have been reincarnated with another colleague by now.
This is also the instinct of the soldiers during a mutiny.
Everything needs someone to take the lead!
If it were in the previous feudal era, you would be given a yellow robe and then be asked to pay silver. If you can't pay, you would be replaced by the next one.
Xu Qing walked slowly into the camp, and the reactions of the people around him appeared in his mind.
His Tao heart at this moment was like a clear mirror, and his reactions to things around him were extremely sensitive.
At the same time, the auras of his four cronies, red-haired Yan Kong, golden-haired monster, Xinyue Fox, and Luo Sect leader, also appeared in his mind, powerful and threatening.
His luck snake was even stained with a layer of black air, but it was not to the extent that it was life-threatening.
During the time Xu Qing was in the military camp, he had already found out that the four of them were in the main camp.
Especially the Heart Moon Fox, jumping up and down, doing his old job, and even doing the Stone Man with One Eye.
"This fox is indeed difficult to kill." After Xu Qing cultivated to the level of possession, he understood more clearly how terrifying the ghost fairy was. It split its spirit and thoughts, and had many incarnations. It was too difficult to kill and destroy it.
It is true that spirits are afraid of thunder, but the thunder needed to destroy ghosts and immortals is not ordinary thunder.
Xu Qing is not quite sure what it is specifically.
Anyway, the heavenly thunder guided by the Luotian Dajiao cannot destroy the true body of the Heart Moon Fox.
However, the old Taoist priest also said that the spirits of great monsters such as the Heart Moon Fox are no different from their physical bodies. While sealing them, they are also using their spirit power as a part of the source of power for the operation of the Longhu Mountain formation, and their spirit power can be continuously consumed.
As for why a part of Xinyue Fox's spirit was able to escape, the old Taoist priest did not tell him.
Xu Qing suspected that the old Taoist priest did it on purpose.
Perhaps it was just to create trouble for the old emperor and divert the old emperor's pressure from Longhu Mountain, or maybe the old Taoist priest also wanted to cause chaos in the world?
Xu Qing's mind flashed, and then he stopped outside the main tent of the camp and said calmly: "Everyone, long time no see."
When he said this, the leaders of the rioters and the rebels were all shocked.
These leaders turned out to be old acquaintances of Xu Gongming.
Oops!
Some of the rebel military officers felt uneasy and wondered if they were being sold out.
Red-haired Yan Kong laughed loudly: "Xu Gongming, I believe your words, but the government is the least trustworthy."
He turned around and said to the crowd: "If you are willing to believe Xu Gongming, then wait for the court to pardon you, but I don't believe in the government!"
His words were particularly sharp and to the point, separating Xu Qing from the government and dispelling other people's doubts that they were colluding with Xu Gongming to take credit for the rioters and rebels.
The red-haired Yan Kong looked at Xu Qing slyly.
Does this move look familiar to you?
Grasp the essence of the problem and get to the point directly. You have learned the same tactics as Xu Gongming.
This is called giving someone a taste of their own medicine!
Xu Qing was slightly surprised that this old monk had a good learning ability.
Xin Yuehu glanced at the red-haired Yan Kong and thought to herself, "Does this old monk really want to rebel? I'll get closer to him in the future."
It now particularly looks down on the leader of the Luo Sect, who is nothing more than a silver-plated spear head, good-looking but useless!
While they were talking, the leader of the Luo Sect had quietly retreated behind the crowd and winked at his trusted followers.
He didn't know what Xu Qing had up his sleeve, but seeing that the situation was not good, he just ran away.
