Chapter 243: Heavenly Dragon Tiger Health Furnace
Chapter 243: Heavenly Dragon Tiger Health Furnace
Long Zen Diamond Sutra.
Inside the room, Li Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed, squinting his eyes slightly, the unique skills he learned from Zen Master Long Yin already emerging in his mind.
"This method of passing on power is truly terrifying."
Li Yuan was filled with emotion.
Although I haven't read it in its entirety, the text about the introductory chapter of this unique skill seems to be imprinted in my mind and my memory is extremely deep.
"Transmitting power through will... If I had this method in my previous life, I would be able to memorize as many Taoist scriptures as possible."
Li Yuan thought about this unique skill in his mind.
Longchan Diamond Sutra is one of the nine unique skills of Longhu Temple. It was passed down by the founder, Zen Master Longyin in his early years, and was supplemented by the successive masters of Longhu Temple. It is an extremely complete martial art.
The introductory part includes standing meditation, quiet meditation, breathing techniques, and visualization techniques.
"Gold means firm and indestructible, and steel means pure masculine and fierce. The Dragon Zen Diamond Sutra, also known as the 'Indestructible Diamond Sutra', combines horizontal training and bitter Zen in one."
Li Yuan said to himself: "Practice Vajra outside, and cultivate Dragon Zen inside, cultivate both inside and outside..."
Judging from his current knowledge of martial arts, this is also an extremely perfect and unique skill.
Ku Chan is asceticism, which uses all kinds of suffering to temper the spirit. Vajra is to train the physical body. This unique skill integrates the strengths of both, and is a method of achieving the unity of body and spirit.
"The body and the spirit are united, and the mystery of yin and yang is fully understood. The beginning of this unique skill points directly to the realm of the Grandmaster. It is indeed worthy of being one of the supreme skills of Longhu Temple."
Naturally, the Dragon and Tiger Temple has more than nine unique skills, but these nine are the best known, the longest-standing, and the most complete.
Li Yuan sorted out the scriptures, and had them in his mind, as if he had memorized them by rote, but if he really wanted to practice them, he still had to digest them on his own.
"call!"
Li Yuan sat in meditation with his eyes closed, multitasking. While familiarizing himself with the Long Chan Diamond Sutra, he also did not give up the method of worshiping gods and visualizing.
hum!
The place of spiritual light is as dark as the night sky, with only a hint of bright light.
It took nearly two months to travel from Dechang Prefecture to Hengshan City. Thanks to the energy of the black whale, Li Yuan's spiritual power has increased a lot, and my spiritual power has become stronger.
The limbs and facial features are already very clear, but beneath the skin, the circulation of Qi, blood and internal strength is not complete, and the fine things such as bones, flesh, meridians, etc. are lacking.
"Before this method of worshipping the gods and visualizing the gods reaches perfection, my spirit body is probably no different from a real person. Is this the reason why the Grandmaster can separate his true energy and transform himself thousands of miles away?"
Li Yuan's thinking is divergent.
Compared to a wisp of true energy that can transform into an external form, just like a real person, there must be a lot of things hidden behind it.
Yin and Yang merge, body and spirit become one. He feels that the method of worshiping God and visualizing may be different from other unique skills, but in the end they will definitely lead to the same result.
“The true qi transforms into a physical form, locks the soul for a thousand miles… Visualizing my spiritual self walking out of the spiritual light is a big threshold, and jumping out of the human body and merging with the true qi is another huge threshold.”
Li Yuan murmured in his heart, feeling a little yearning and excited.
"Grandmaster."
He calmed down, took control of the weapons, and continued to improve his constitution.
On the way, because Old Han urged him to do so, his progress in changing his bones was a little slower, but now, he was only one step away from completing the thirty-six forms.
The room was quiet, and the little tiger cub was lying on the windowsill.
Under the bed, the little mouse, who had been hiding in his bed since arriving at the inn, just came out and saw strands of moonlight streaming in from the window like water.
"Squeak~"
It was a little frightened, and its already slow movements became even slower, but it quietly moved to a place where the moonlight was shining, and it took a deep breath.
"laugh!"
At the windowsill, the little tiger cub turned around at some point and saw the little mouse's funny movements and frightened expression, so he couldn't help but squint his eyes.
"squeak?"
The little mouse's frightened voice suddenly stopped. It felt a blur before its eyes and found itself pressed on the windowsill. The moonlight shone on its body and it trembled with fear.
After the tiger cub put it into a strange position, it bathed in the moonlight by itself, with a humming sound coming from its body.
Gradually, the little mouse's fear subsided. It looked carefully at the "cat ancestor" above its head, and suddenly discovered something and adjusted its breathing.
"call!"
"Suck!"
……
There is no curfew in Hengshan City, and it is quite lively even at night.
There is indeed a curfew in Longhu Temple. When the moon rises, all lights must be extinguished, including the candles in the temples, and they must be relit before dawn.
It is cumbersome, but it has lasted for more than two thousand years.
In the darkness of night, footsteps could be heard from time to time in the Dragon and Tiger Temple. Chu Xuankong stopped at a hill and quietly looked at the darkened temples:
"By the way, is Master Uncle's temple going to be renovated?"
"Many years ago, when my uncle returned from a serious injury, the temple began to repair it. Later, when his injury recovered, he stopped again. A few years ago, he started to repair it again."
Lin Tianhe stood side by side with him, but his eyes were looking towards the temples at the highest point of "Longshan".
There are no gods or Buddhas in Longhu Temple. All temples enshrine ancestors of past generations. The higher the temple, the higher its status and the more popular it is.
"It's a pity that the Taoist master strictly forbids 'living people to build temples', otherwise, the incense would be a good thing."
Chu Xuankong stood with his hands behind his back, and a few old copper coins jumped between his fingers, making crisp sounds from time to time.
"That's the way of the Evil God Cult. Senior Brother Chu, it's better not to discuss it in the temple. If the Taoist master knows about it, he will have to practice asceticism for another three years."
Lin Tianhe didn't want to talk about this. No matter how good the incense was, it was not something he dared to consume. He immediately changed the subject:
"Come to think of it, Senior Brother Chu, did you already know that Li Yuan was extremely talented?"
"...I don't know."
Chu Xuankong sighed: "Junior Brother Lin also knows that Chu is good at divination. When I heard about this person before, I once made a divination..."
"not too good?"
Lin Tianhe's heart was slightly moved. When it came to divination, he only believed in the lineage of the 'Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva' of the Zhaixing Tower. Although his senior brother Chu was known as the number one fortune teller in the Dragon and Tiger Temple.
But in fact, not many people in the temple have learned the art of divination.
"Very bad."
Chu Xuankong nodded: "I just read another fortune-teller, this person has a bad fate, so he shouldn't live long..."
"I used him as a hexagram to calculate his fate and found that this person has a mixed palace and fate..."
"What is the palace-killing mixture?"
Lin Tianhe became interested.
"This kind of scattered people are ruthless and indifferent to life..."
"so?"
Lin Tianhe was not disturbed. Most of the people in the world were ruthless. The Dragon and Tiger Temple was not the imperial court, so why should they care about this?
Just from the fact that during the day, this kid dragged the elder of the Divine Weapon Valley along to the banquet, we could tell that this person at least cared about the sect and was respectful to his elders.
Much better than those talented disciples in the city and the temple.
"As for those who have the appearance of sudden death but have not yet died, they are usually... that's it, that's it."
Seeing that Lin Tianhe didn't seem to care, Chu Xuankong sighed inwardly, but he lost interest in talking.
He knew very well that unless there was solid evidence to prove that a person who had been recognized by the ancestor as a skilled martial artist was an extremely evil person, no matter what he said, it would be useless.
But he really didn't expect that a small Gaoliu County would produce two freaks one after another, and this one was more talented than that one.
"In the past two hundred years, the Azure Dragon has appeared five times. When the news spreads, I'm afraid the imperial court will be shaken. That's because the Taoist master is not here, otherwise..."
Lin Tianhe sighed. The clouds and mist disappeared, and the blue dragon appeared. He knew very well what this meant.
As long as this person is alive, even without the Grandmaster inheritance, he still has the hope of becoming a Grandmaster. If there is an opportunity, he can even compete for a top ten position in the 'Heroes List'.
"The six great true disciples all have masters. This kid suddenly appeared, but it may not be a good thing."
Chu Xuankong sneered.
There are only six people who have truly inherited the Longhu Temple, and this tradition has never changed in more than two thousand years.
Lin Tianhe frowned slightly, but did not respond to the conversation. Instead, he talked about what happened at today's banquet, and then bowed and said goodbye before curfew.
"Based on just one hexagram..."
Lin Tianhe glanced at Chu Xuankong playing with the coins, and shook his head, thinking that he should stay away from him...
"Li..."
In the night wind, Chu Xuankong stopped for a moment and returned to the yard before curfew. Before he entered the door, he saw Wang Xuanying.
"Uncle Chu."
After half a day, Wang Xuanying calmed down, but his face still didn't look very good.
The scene during the day really frightened him and made him unbelievable. The eldest brother had not joined any sect before he became a disciple, so his talent was not obvious before, but Li Yuan was the true disciple of the Divine Weapon Valley!
Shenbing Valley is also a thousand-year-old sect. Could it be that it has fallen to the point where it doesn’t even know the talents of its disciples?
"The intelligence went awry."
After closing the gate, Chu Xuankong looked quite unhappy.
"Perhaps, the Divine Weapon Valley did this on purpose?"
"maybe."
In the yard, both of them frowned and looked at each other from time to time. They both felt depressed. This was too different from what was recorded in the intelligence.
Not to mention dragon-shaped root bones, even great dragon-shaped root bones are never lacking in Longhu Temple, and no one has ever been seen who could get the approval of the founder to pass on his skills.
……
……
"Woo~"
The little tiger cub opened his eyes in dissatisfaction. It was still dark, but Li Yuan was already up.
As his mental strength grew, his sleep quality improved. He could no longer fall asleep after sleeping only two or three hours a day.
"Visualization is good, but you still have to practice boxing when you need to."
Li Yuan muttered to himself that he had actually had an erotic dream last night. If his mind had not lacked the necessary material, he might have overflowed with semen.
Before, he consumed a lot of energy every day when he was working on iron and standing in a meditation posture, so he had never experienced anything like this.
"call!"
The Tianzi-sized room was naturally not small. Li Yuan stood with a hammer in his hand, looking like a soldier. He felt that although the visualization was extremely real, there was still some gap between him and the soldier holding the hammer.
"In the past few years, I have been wielding the heavy hammer almost every day. Perhaps the gift I received has slowly become my own talent?"
Holding the hammer, Li Yuan only felt a sense of flesh and blood connection. This was just an ordinary hammer, and the feeling naturally did not come from the hammer itself.
He tried to remove the hammer soldiers he was controlling one by one and found that although the feeling was much weaker, it still existed.
"Collect all kinds of weapons, master them for a long time, and finally integrate them into yourself..."
Li Yuan became more and more confident that the path he was taking was the right one, or at least, it was stable.
"But if this is the case, the hammer soldiers I control must also be constantly replaced. Unfortunately, this is just my own feeling. The Weapon Control Scroll won't remind me how much I have digested."
Li Yuan sighed inwardly, slowly pushing his body forward, and after a few sets of moves, he exhausted a lot of energy, but he didn't feel tired.
With his current physique, the military posture is not enough for daily training, and he needs more sophisticated standing exercises...
"Dragon Zen Eight Suffering Postures."
Li Yuan muttered to himself, opened his eyes, and found that the little tiger was looking at him with some anthropomorphic surprise.
"Why, do you still understand?"
Li Yuan wanted to tease the cat, mainly to pet it, but before he could get close, the sharp little claws started dancing around like windmills.
It looks like he will fight you to the death if you dare to touch him.
"This cat is not easy to tame."
Li Yuan did not dare to force it. After all, the little tiger had not run away on its own initiative in the past few days, which meant that it was well-trained.
"Squeak~"
At this time, the little mouse poked its head out of the hole in the wall.
"Drilling holes again?"
The little mouse's fur was soft and smooth, and he could stroke it at will. Li Yuan took out a blood-boosting pill from his arms, but it was still the cat seven and the mouse one.
"Behave yourself and don't dig holes."
Looking at the cat and mouse busy making elixirs, Li Yuan suddenly felt a kind of pleasure of nurturing. He had a lot of things hidden in his heart, and sometimes he needed to vent.
"Brother Li."
At this time, Liu Zheng's voice came from outside the door.
He pushed the door open and walked out. Wang Peiyao, Gao Gang, and even Qiu Changying, who had been silent all the way, also came in. The way they looked at him was the same as the disciples of Longhu Temple yesterday.
Even more terrifying.
“Being low-key has its advantages, and being high-key has its own happiness.”
Such a thought flashed through Master Li Dao’s mind.
He was a thoughtful person and had already planned his own path in Longhu Temple on the way.
A huge force that has existed for more than 2,000 years and has many factions must not only be affiliated with a certain lineage, but also be conspicuous enough...
"Congratulations, Brother Li."
"Brother Li, you may not know yet, but the news of the 'appearance of the Azure Dragon' yesterday has spread all over Hengshan City, and many people are comparing you to that Dragon and Tiger Taoist!"
"I heard that as long as the Dragon and Tiger disciples who can attract the Azure Dragon to appear do not die, they will become masters, and there will even be immortals on land..."
"Yesterday, the inn's head shopkeeper came and not only waived our room fees, but also said that this room would not be allowed to be occupied by anyone else and would be kept for you at all times."
……
As Wang Peiyao spoke, the shock that the others had been holding back all night suddenly burst out.
"The rumors are mostly exaggerated. I just got the introductory chapter of a unique skill."
Li Yuan smiled and explained a few words. After everyone's excitement had subsided a little, he looked at Feng Zhongyi who had just come upstairs.
After a night, Feng Zhongyi still smelled of alcohol. Yesterday, he was really drunk and didn't have time to get rid of the alcohol.
"Elder Yan is already waiting downstairs."
The smile on his face could no longer be concealed in the wind.
"Elder, let's go together."
Li Yuan greeted.
"No, I have an appointment."
Feng Zhongyi waved his hand: "Just bring the long tassel."
Li Yuan glanced at Qiu Changying, who was still wearing a black outfit. If he didn't know that she brought multiple pieces of clothing, he would have thought that she had not changed her clothes.
"Thank you."
Qiu Changying felt a little uncomfortable.
"We are from the same family, so we should support each other. Why should I thank you?"
Li Yuan didn't care much. He said hello to everyone, took Qiu Changying and went downstairs.
Outer disciples also need to be registered.
……
Yan Sanxing's carriage was more spacious. Not only was there more space, but there were also two maids serving him.
"These are some information about the sect, mainly the various halls and helms within the sect, the many elders, and the true disciples..."
As soon as he got on the carriage, Yan Sanxing took out a thick stack of files.
Li Yuan thanked him and gave half of it to Qiu Changying, who was a little reserved. He also started flipping through the book in the carriage without avoiding Yan Sanxing.
Yan Sanxing smiled, walked out of the carriage, and signaled the disciples to drive directly into the sect. As an elder, he was naturally different from outer disciples like Yu Xuanfeng.
"There are nine halls in the Dragon and Tiger Temple, most of which are named after their unique skills. The unique skill that the Vajra Hall mainly practices is the Dragon Zen Vajra Sutra, and the Dragon and Tiger Hun Tian Hammer will reach the Hun Tian Heaven..."
The factions within Longhu Temple are very clear on the surface.
There are the Daozhu lineage, the Longshan lineage, and the Hushan lineage. Each lineage has three major branch halls, and each hall has six helms under it.
"The three major branches under Longshan, Vajra, Hun Tian, and Tianlong, correspond to the three unique skills of Longchan Vajra, Longhu Hun Tian, and Dawei Tianlong."
Cheap Master is the master of Longmen.
After flipping through it briefly, Li Yuan had some idea in his mind. Naturally, his family knew the information about Dao Zong.
Each hall, each helm, each family.
The sect's rules, the elders, the sect master and the deputy sect master...
It was very quiet in the carriage, with only the sound of flipping pages. Seeing that the two were immersed in their reading, the two maids got off the carriage consciously.
"If inner disciples want to choose a unique skill, they need to..."
Li Yuan was flipping through a book when he suddenly felt a shock in his heart. He looked up suddenly and saw a brilliant black light that ignored the carriage's obstruction and came into his sight:
