Chapter 565 Entering the Tao
Chapter 565 Entering the Tao
“I just like dealing with straightforward people!”
Watching Pang Wenlong's figure disappear into the pylorus, Master Li Dao secretly praised him in his heart, and couldn't help feeling a little expectant.
As the commander of the army, he was naturally very eager for the Tianyun Xuanbing. He was still short of a few Tianyun Xuanbing after changing his Wanxing. Originally, he wanted to wait until he entered the Taoism and then drag Zhou Ying and Taoist Long to find trouble with the imperial court.
Now that this Great Yun Taizu has come forward, it is naturally the best thing.
Before parting, he also handed over the map that Zhou Ying had circled, which also had his markings on it. The only thing missing was the red circle around the Duntian Boat and the Dayi Jinlin Bell.
"Escape Sky Boat."
Li Yuan muttered to himself as he knocked Chi Lian unconscious and threw him back under the tree.
"Then, eh, what's this, Senior Qin?"
As soon as Pang Wenlong left, several Taoist masters came over.
"Senior has some matters that require me to go out."
Li Yuan was vague. He couldn't say that this person was going to snatch the Xuanbing for him, right?
Several Taoist masters were not too concerned about Qin Yun's whereabouts. They gathered around him and asked about matters related to the Bafang Temple, mountain climbing, and the Taoist Soldier Tower trial.
Including Taoist Master Long, everyone is very interested in the Taoist Soldier Tower or those "true form maps".
"That soldier tower is not a good place."
Li Yuan did not hide anything and told about the hidden dangers of the soldier tower trial. He had obtained a lot of information from the human-headed strange bird these days, which indirectly verified his previous guess.
In the mouth of the human-headed monster bird, those who enter the temple except the challenger are "consumables" and "reserve Taoist soldiers". Of course, he would be more tactful when speaking such hurtful words.
"This Taoist Soldier Tower actually wants to turn us into Taoist soldiers?"
Everyone looked at each other. Fang Sanyun had a strange look on his face, but he looked at the stone tablet of the court:
"Then Wan Zhuliu, Emperor Qian and others are..."
"If you can't exit the Taoist Soldier Tower in time, you may never be able to get out again."
Li Yuan glanced coldly at the stone tablets of the people in the court and paused for a moment on Yu Wan Zhuliu's tablet. This was what he inferred from the words of the strange bird with a human head.
But he estimated that it was very likely.
The Bafang Temple is a place of creation, but it is also a place of taboos. Even the gods may fall because of it, let alone the people in the court?
As the only person who founded the temple, everyone believed Li Yuan's words to about 70%.
"In that case, the old turtle really has ulterior motives."
Long Yingchan looked towards the stele of the spirit turtle. The line of text on the Taoist Soldier Tower below the stele was grayish white. It was obvious that the old turtle had already escaped from the Taoist Soldier Tower.
"Not only this old turtle, but also that old thief with a thousand eyes."
Fang Sanyun snorted coldly, swept across the stele forest, and his sight fell on the mountains in the distance: "That old thief did not enter the Taoist Soldier Tower. He is likely lurking in the mountains. We must be on guard."
"That old ghost is at a very high level. If he is intent on hiding, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find him."
Hearing the name of the Thousand-Eyed Master, Li Yuan frowned slightly, feeling quite fearful.
He also saw traces of the great gods such as the Thousand-Eyed Dharma Master, the Red-Haired Buddha, and the Sword Spirit God in the ancient books of Mingquan City.
"When this old ghost was talking to Chi Lian, he claimed to be the Thousand Eyes Master... If that's true..."
Everyone was talking by the campfire. Li Yuan's thoughts were distracted and he felt a headache.
The Three Days' Disaster, the Evil Cloud Demon, the Thousand-Eyed Magician... The Eight Directions Temple has already been involved in so many troublesome things before it even appeared in the world.
At the foot of the mountain, everyone talked for a long time.
Li Yuan mostly answered questions about the Bafang Temple, and then asked several Taoist masters about entering Taoism. Although he had made sufficient preparations, it would be safer to review them.
Late at night, Li Yuan took out the token and returned to the top of Bafang Mountain.
There are many strange rocks on the top of the mountain. The ancient temple is hidden behind the rocks. It is not far away. If it were in the outside world, Li Yuan could cross this distance in one step.
But in the meantime, he did not dare to act rashly.
He had tried it before. He only took one step forward and the strange rocks began to tremble, as if they were waking up from silence. The invisible energy was frightening.
"Entering the temple trial means clashing with other challengers. This is really too dangerous."
Li Yuan did not go beyond the line and just sat cross-legged under his strange rock.
When his spirit recovered to its peak, he took out the spiritual incense and lit it, changed the palm-control combination that enhanced his talent, swallowed a handful of spiritual pills, and then held the Dragon-Tiger Health Pill in his mouth.
There are gates to entry, such as the Dragon Gate Gate and the Gate of Life and Death. Even with his current talent and cultivation, he cannot be careless and must make adequate preparations.
"call!"
After a long time, Li Yuan suppressed all distracting thoughts, closed his eyes, and calmed his mind:
"Enter the Dao Pass."
……
……
hum~
The realm was dark and deep, and a ray of light suddenly appeared. Pang Wenlong walked out slowly. Behind him, Qin Shixian, holding a spear, was still a little dazed.
She was still in the Taoist Soldier Tower honing her newly learned 'Heaven Breaking Spear True Form Diagram' when she was pulled out in a trance.
"What are you doing?"
Qin Shixian frowned and asked.
Pang Wenlong did not explain, but just flicked his fingers, and a wisp of energy entered her brow, and the scene of her conversation with Li Yuan just now was exactly in it.
"The three-day disaster... the sun... the ban on the Eight Directions Temple... the road to the underworld that only Li Yuan can see... Tianshiyuan..."
"Pang, Pang Wenlong?"
"Pang Wenlong!" After a moment of trance, Qin Shixian suddenly woke up and looked at Pang Wenlong, shocked:
"You, you, I thought..."
"What do you think?"
Pang Wenlong glanced at her and shook his head.
If this girl was half as calm as Li Yuan, he wouldn't have kept it secret for so many years.
"I, I guessed it a long time ago..."
Qin Shixian was a little embarrassed, digesting that aura, and his heart was a little shaken, but when he thought about it suddenly, it didn't seem so surprising.
Not surprising at all!
She is the number one traitor, but she is actually of the purest royal bloodline? !
Besides, Master Pang, this doesn't sound good...
"is it?"
Pang Wenlong was too lazy to expose her. He just took out the clearly marked map from his pocket and glanced at it. His eyes jumped:
"This kid has already set his sights on other Heavenly Destiny Mystical Soldiers..."
Qin Shixian was in a daze for a long time before he digested this shocking news. He also looked at the map: "Are you going to help him snatch the Heavenly Luck Mysterious Soldiers?"
"If you want people to work hard, you have to give them the benefits they deserve."
Pang Wenlong didn't even look up, but just matched the marks on the map with the twelve roads in his memory one by one. After a while, he understood it clearly.
"This kid is really bold. It's not enough to take the Sky Escape Boat, he wants other Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Soldiers?"
The scene that the two of them had just discussed appeared in Qin Shixian's eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
She was not surprised that the old man dared to give it to her.
This old man has always been a very generous person, which is not surprising considering the records about Pang Wenlong in history books.
This man is willing to divide the world up. Throughout history, there have been few people more generous than him.
But this kid really dares to ask...
"You don't understand the dangers of opening a road that no one has ever walked on in a secluded place."
Pang Wenlong put away the map and took out a bronze mirror. The mirror trembled, emitting a faint light that illuminated the surroundings. After the darkness receded, the ground was covered with dark scorched earth.
"In the past, I followed the Master to explore the mysteries of the Underworld. I narrowly escaped death countless times, which is why this Underworld is so peaceful now. The Underworld outside is not so peaceful."
Pang Wenlong looked quite solemn.
He knew much more about the Netherworld than Qin Shixian. The horror of the Netherworld lies in the present world that overlaps with the Netherworld. In the great world, going back ten thousand years, there were only four God Palace-level people, including him and the Master.
There are more dangers in the twelve mysterious soldier roads that lead directly to the Bafang Temple.
But even so, he almost died here.
And beyond the closure of the Bafang Temple, there is the dark realm covering the Tianshiyuan. How terrifying is that?
That is a vast realm that can accommodate the stars and has existed for more than seventy-two epochs. After countless tens of thousands of years of accumulation, how many strange places, strange beasts, and strange demons should there be?
Just thinking about it, Pang Wenlong felt dangerous. Therefore, he did not think Li Yuan was greedy. He even thought that the boy asked for too little.
"So, let's go to the Divine Capital?"
Qin Shixian was still a little confused, but when he thought of the Divine Capital, he suddenly became energetic:
"Your injuries have not healed yet, so let me go! Neither Wang Jin nor Wu Yingxing is my match. Even if they join forces, I am not afraid!"
"That's not necessary."
Qin Yun looked around the secluded place, identified the direction he was going, and took a step forward with a bronze mirror in his hand. The incense in the bronze mirror burned, illuminating the surroundings:
"I will go by myself."
Li Yuan was not the only one who had the idea of searching for Xuanbing along the Xuanbing Road. He couldn't say if he had done it earlier, but he had done so more than a thousand years ago.
The difference is that Li Yuan's idea is still just an idea, but he has already verified it and succeeded.
Now, it's just happening again.
"what about me?"
Qin Shixian suddenly felt disappointed.
"To activate the Sky-Escape Boat, we need incense. Go get the incense stored in the building. Well, if you want to go to the Capital of Gods, go ahead. Anyway, the old ghost is not here, and no one can hurt you..."
……
……
The entry into the Tao can be divided into four steps: the spirit leaving the body, the unity of Qi and blood, the fusion of form and the unity of body and spirit.
Li Yuan had already mastered these four steps except the last one, and according to his understanding, these four steps were actually two steps.
Qi and blood are united, spirit and body are united.
This is the only way to reach the state of Trinity.
hum~
One elixir after another entered his stomach, igniting the two dragon and tiger elixirs inside. The powerful medicinal power spread to his limbs and bones, causing his blood and qi to boil.
At this moment, Li Yuan felt as if he was being burned by fire.
At the same time, his brows felt cold, and the Nine Palaces of Niwan trembled. In the land of spiritual light, the visualized thunder dragon collapsed and turned into the visualized spiritual self.
I, who was the same spirit as Li Yuan, first sat cross-legged in meditation, then stood up and started to push the pole. Finally, when the blood and qi were boiling to the highest point,
'He' took a step forward and walked out from the place of spiritual light, the Niwan Palace!
hum~
Li Yuan only felt a chill on his head, and the top of his head opened wide. His soul walked out of the Niwan Palace, but did not leave his body. Instead, it flowed downstream and met the violently burning blood and qi!
The extremely yang qi and blood, and the purely yin spirit, are extremely dangerous even with the balance of true qi.
This is the fourth step into the Tao, the unity of spirit and body.
