Chapter 307 Shameless
Chapter 307 Shameless
"Xuan Hu, you follow me in cultivation. Building a foundation and refining Qi are secondary. The key lies in fetal breathing. If you understand the key to fetal breathing, your future cultivation will be smooth sailing."
The Heavenly Palace is on the top of Zhongshan Mountain, and Zhongshan Mountain gathers royal energy. Now, under the influence of the formations around the Heavenly Palace, Zhongshan Mountain has become the place where the most spiritual energy is gathered in the Dayu Dynasty.
It can be said that any piece of land in the entire Zhongshan Mountain that is reclaimed can become a good spiritual field, and the millet grown therein will not be much worse than that grown in the Dachan Temple.
And as time goes by, the quality of the spiritual fields on Zhongshan Mountain will become better and better.
On the other hand, after research by the Tiangong Institute, it was found that collecting branches and leaves of spiritual plants or stalks of yellow sorghum rice and crushing them and spreading them on the spiritual fields would be more conducive to loosening the spiritual fields, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, and also have some effect in preventing frost and spiritual insect pests.
Apart from the royal family, the Xu family is the second largest landlord in Zhongshan.
Xu Qing took Xu Xuanhu with him to reclaim land in his own spiritual field and look for spiritual insects that were harmful to the spiritual plants.
Among them, the foundation-building and body-refining exercises were exactly the "Bull Demon Power Fist" that was revised by King Lin when he broke through to the level of Martial Saint.
The meaning of the old farmer tilling the field is a cultivation method that cannot be more righteous.
With Xu Xuanhu, the fourth-generation Black Mountain Old Demon's extraordinary talent, he understood the essence of it in a short time, causing his uncle Lin to leave in shame.
Well, it’s all Xu Qing’s fault for talking too much and mocking his good brother in person.
On the other hand, Xu Qing forbade Xu Xuanhu to use his magical power to devour the essence of all things, because the devoured essence was too mixed and not thoroughly "purified". If Xu Xuanhu continued like this, he would surely easily develop all kinds of mental demons, which would affect his character.
Of course, the Black Mountain Old Demon's practice was actually to fight his way out of the hustle and bustle of the world and various inner demons. These inner demons were also a test.
If one practices in this way alone, without basing oneself on humanity, the humanity in one's character will become weaker and weaker.
Xu Qing didn't want his son to go that far.
The Bull Demon's Power Fist is the top method for building the body and foundation, while the fetal breathing is a subtle method that Xu Qing learned from the Taoist Canon.
Fetal breathing is about hiding, and in this process, vitality is naturally nurtured.
With vitality, it is naturally not easy to be cold and lonely.
Xu Qing also hopes that Xu Xuanhu understands what protection is.
And if you nurture vitality and feel love and warmth, you will naturally understand these things.
These are not things that can be achieved overnight; they take a long time.
He was not worried that Xu Xuanhu would become kind and suffer, because the Xu family had the confidence to bear the cost.
Indeed, in this cruel world, kindness is not a quality that is beneficial to survival; it is even a luxury and expensive.
Just like love, it is a luxury.
But being able to possess and experience it is also a precious experience in life.
Xu Qing had the confidence to let his son go through this.
In fact, he also knows that his ideas may not be correct.
But as a parent, we can't help but let our children have those beautiful things. We hope to pass on our experiences to them without reservation so that they can avoid detours.
But now Xu Xuanhu doesn’t quite understand.
If he were a normal child, even if he didn't understand, he would be happy as long as his father was with him.
But Xu Xuanhu seemed to prefer to be alone, reading books, reading those profound knowledge, and even the profound theories of many mechanical arts in Tiangong Academy...
He has a strong desire to learn about the world.
Xu Qing's demonic heart can sense all of this.
Xu Qing was somewhat shaken by this.
But, this is also his first time being a parent, so let's try it slowly.
The lives of this father and son are destined to be long, and if they make any mistakes, they can be corrected over time.
Xu Qing thought he was not a stubborn person.
Xu Qing let Xu Xuanhu slowly comprehend the essence of fetal breathing. On the other side, not far away was a monk sitting cross-legged in meditation. It was Yan Kong.
He severed the ties with Zen Master Hongyue, and Red-haired Yankong inherited Hongyue's past, while he himself became a brand new person.
The severance of all these ties allowed Yan Kong to break away from the past and realize his true self.
This made his view of the Great Power of Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva finally become the nourishment for his own practice. Next, Yan Kong wanted to practice his own things.
Xu Qing gave a suggestion, which was to start with Yan Kong's innate martial arts, the Vajra Palm, and then combine it with the Thirty-two Vajra Dharma Images of Buddhism to realize the true magical power to subdue demons and enter the true realm of transcendence.
Xu Qing named this unique skill - Vajra Power.
Of course, some of the inspiration came from the novels he read in his previous life.
But Xu Qing's current state of mind is enough for him to fill in some of the imaginary ideas in the novel with mystery and turn them into reality.
This is nothing to the true seeker.
Because those who seek the truth have a very important characteristic, which is to use the false to cultivate the true.
Xu Qing simply demonstrated this trait.
With the help of Xu Qing, Yan Kong drew nourishment from the Great Power Tianlong Bodhisattva, sublimated his own innate martial arts, the Powerful Vajra Palm, and then combined the thirty-two Vajra Dharmas.
The cultivation of this Vajra's divine power gradually became more perfect.
Now Yan Kong is stuck at a critical step.
The thirty-two Vajra marks are external appearances, not the true appearances.
Therefore, Yan Kong still needs to comprehend his own true nature, only then can this unique skill be truly perfected.
A phantom appeared on Yan Kong's body.
Sometimes he is the elegant and graceful Iron-footed Immortal, who is none other than Yuyangzi, one of the Seven True Masters of Quanzhen; sometimes he is the Zen master with a red moon hanging in the air; and sometimes he is the red-haired monk who is full of ominous meaning.
However, these are not the true nature of Master Yankong.
Seeing this, Xu Qing uttered a thunderous sound beside him.
"Seeking life in death, emptiness and formlessness."
Yan Kong felt a blessing in his heart, and all the energy in his body suddenly disappeared, leaving him empty and silent, as if he were nothingness.
The rock beneath his seat suddenly shattered, turned into powder and merged into the spiritual field.
From beginning to end, Yan Kong showed no signs of exerting any strength, but the power of Vajra was exerted in this instant, with a charm that was unmatched in the Three Realms.
Yan Kong stood up and said, "Thank you."
Xu Qing smiled and said, "Master, there is no need to thank me between you and me."
He also gained something from it, because the entire process of Yan Kong's creation of the law was fully reflected in Xu Qing's demon mind. It can be said that apart from Yan Kong, Xu Qing was the one who knew this unique skill best.
Moreover, through his understanding of the power of Vajra, he gained a deeper understanding of the essence of Buddhist practice.
It coincides with the way of the devil.
The profound Buddhist teachings can get rid of appearances and remain without form, retaining the spirit.
The method of the devil is also formless.
The paths of both sides seem to be different, good and evil, but in fact they lead to the same destination.
Yan Kong nodded slightly, "Sorry for bothering you for a long time. I should go back to Jinguang Temple. If you need anything, just let Xu Shaobao know."
"it is good."
We are all people of the world, so there is no need for so much politeness.
Yan Kong then said goodbye and went straight back to Jinguang Temple.
Gold silver nest nest as their own kennel.
After surviving the catastrophe and being reborn, he missed Jinguang Temple even more.
It's just a pity for Fayue, he hasn't sat on the position of abbot for long.
But Xu Liushou is a good man. As long as Master Fayue asks, he will help him establish a new Jinguan Temple.
If you really don't want to build a new Jinguang Temple, then I heard that West Lake Jinshan Temple is in need of an abbot. Xu Qing can just write a note and guarantee that Fayue will take the position in this thousand-year-old temple.
On the other hand, Yankong's Vajra power will be a key to dealing with the Living Buddha of Snow Region in the future.
The time for the decisive battle between Xu Qing and others and the Black Mountain Demon is getting closer and closer.
This time, he is facing the Creator in his prime, so even Xu Qing doesn't have much chance of winning.
But he always does his best and leaves the rest to fate.
In addition, how powerful the old emperor is is also the key to this battle.
The higher his cultivation level, the clearer Xu Qing became that the old emperor's cultivation was against heaven, and under Xu Qing's influence, the old emperor actually succeeded, so heaven's punishment was inevitable. The Black Mountain Old Demon was the one who carried out heaven's punishment.
This battle is inevitable.
Even if the old emperor's mind is unfathomable, in this battle, he must fully cooperate with Xu Qing in order to have a chance to survive.
If the previous battle in Changbai Mountain was a life-and-death crisis that Xu Qing had to endure, then this battle was the old emperor's turn.
One old and one young, both are unlucky.
Not father and son, but better than father and son.
...
...
Return to Xu Mansion.
Although Xu Qing claimed to be in seclusion and not concerned with worldly affairs, there was always someone who made an exception to come and see him, and that person was Yan Shan.
Yan Shan reported on various events in the north and the cabinet's response strategies.
Xu Qing shook his head: "Prince Yu has gone so far in his evil ways that there is no turning back."
Xu Qing knew even more clearly that with Emperor Wanshou as his father, Prince Yu had no choice.
The old emperor knew that he had suppressed Prince Yu too harshly. Even if he couldn't survive the calamity of the Black Mountain Old Demon, there was no way he would let Prince Yu take the throne.
There are no fathers and sons in heaven.
If Prince Yu really succeeds to the throne, the old emperor's affairs after his death will definitely be disgusting.
Therefore, the old emperor's preferred heir is the emperor's grandson.
There is another advantage. As long as Prince Yu does not succeed to the throne, Xu Qing will not completely break off relations with the royal family. With Prince Yu's qualifications, he is no match for Xu Qing.
The old emperor was very open-minded.
The emperor's grandson ascended to the throne, and Xu Qing was a sentimental man, so no matter how bad his lineage was in the future, it wouldn't be too bad.
If Prince Yu were to take the throne, Xu Qing's relationship with the royal family would be over.
Of course, it would be better if we could survive the disaster of the Black Mountain Demon.
As long as he could live forever and enjoy prosperity forever, the old emperor didn't mind dividing the world with Xu Qing.
However, if given the chance, the old emperor would definitely prefer to rule alone.
All in all, Emperor Wanshou was an extremely shrewd and selfish person. The choices he made would not put himself at a disadvantage, and he was able to judge the situation better.
Yan Shanzi also saw that Prince Yu was in a dead end, so he said, "Master, what should we do next?"
Now that Prince Yu has committed atrocities, his previous reputation as the defender of the capital has been completely ruined.
Even the censors didn't want to stand on his side.
But Prince Yu’s military force is now exceptionally strong.
This is the truth.
Especially with the support of Prince Yu, the Living Buddha of Snowland has become more terrifying than before.
Nowadays, the Monster Catchers can no longer cross the Yellow River.
The Tantric lamas are very crazy and have had many conflicts, big and small, with the Monster Catching Bureau along the banks of the Yellow River.
And they also have the help of the Tanlang cavalry trained by Grand Tutor Murong.
If the students of the Military Academy and the Taoist Temple were not vegetarians, the South would not even be able to gain any advantage.
In addition, these conflicts are also part of the content of the Immortal Gate Examination.
Gradually, the first batch of true disciples who passed the immortal gate examination have emerged one after another.
Xu Qing was naturally very aware of all this. He said, "In short, the loss of all external objects is insignificant. We must protect the people. In addition, you should let the prince of Wei State take the people from the Military Statistics and Investigation Department to sneak into Liaodong to meet with Lord Wu. They will be useful at the critical moment."
"Will this be too dangerous?"
Liaodong is very close to the Black Mountain Demon’s territory and is extremely dangerous.
Lord Wu hasn't been in any trouble until now. I have to say that he is blessed by heaven.
Of course, the fundamental reason was that Xu Qing had a hidden trick.
He kept waiting for the old demon to take the bait.
Unexpectedly, the old demon was an upright person and had no intention of targeting the people around Xu Qing.
This was probably also the old demon's own vigilance, and he had seen through the secret. Before he had recovered to the peak of the Creator, he would not give Xu Qing any chance to delay his recovery to the peak of the Creator.
After Xu Qing and Yan Shan discussed these matters, they went straight to Fang Ge's home.
It's a sunny day today and the old man is basking in the sun on a lounge chair.
The wrinkles on Lord Fang's face were like the dead bark of an old tree, making people wonder if he might die at any time.
But Xu Qing couldn't figure out when the old man would pass away. He might even live longer than him!
Xu Qing's realm is now higher than before, but this time he was very honest and did not ask Lao Fang for help.
As long as he doesn't compare himself, Xu Qing feels that he is second to none.
Apart from the Black Mountain Demon, there is no one else in the world who can fight him.
Anyway, I won’t give Lao Fang the chance to destroy his dream.
"Hello, Lord."
"Ah."
Lao Fang is really indifferent to worldly affairs. His greatest pleasure now is basking in the sun and reading.
What I read is not Taoist Canon, but some leisure books.
In his words, he has been reading profound teachings and Taoist scriptures all his life, but he still cannot enjoy himself when he is old.
The level of popular novels in Nanzhili is developing rapidly nowadays, but Jin..., ahem, that is, a certain novel that describes the social world and has a bit of erotic content, is still the undisputed overlord among the people.
Things like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms or Journey to the West have to take the back seat.
Even Xie Quan came out to support the book, saying that this is the most profound book about human nature in the world today. It may seem vulgar and crude, but it is actually full of profound meanings.
Well, Lao Xie also wants to make extra money.
Because a bookseller paid a large sum of money to ask him to write a preface for Jin Moumei.
It has to be said that morals are declining.
Now everything in the Dayu Dynasty is about money.
Many workshop owners complained that the people in the South were cunning and could not compare to the simplicity in the North.
The workers who work in southern workshops nowadays are very cunning and have too many demands.
The north is still better. You can work longer hours and get paid less, or even nothing at all. You can eat and live in the workshop and it is easier to use than a mule.
On the other side, Xu Qing and Lord Fang were stunned after greeting each other.
Lao Fang didn't ask him why he came.
Xu Qing didn't know what to say either.
Who am I, where am I, what do I do?
Xu Qing had no choice but to take the lead in breaking the deadlock, "Lord, I have a longevity fruit here."
"Human life span is predetermined. I don't need it. Xu Qing, you can give it to someone who wants it." Elder Fang opened his eyes slightly and looked at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing: "Lord, I would like to ask you for a favor."
When you treat others with courtesy, you must ask for something.
Lao Fang didn't fall for it, so Xu Qing forced it.
"You'd better not force me, or I'll kneel down and beg you!"
Xu Qing continued viciously.
Anyway, I'll kowtow to my senior and my lifesaver.
Not shabby!
"Go ahead." Elder Fang felt helpless when he saw Xu Qing's rogue behavior.
Shameless people are truly invincible!
