Xianye

Chapter 3
Chen Heng straightened his clothes, walked to the door and opened it.

Outside the door, seeing that Chen Heng finally came out, a Taoist with a qin behind his back heaved a long sigh of relief, and the anxious expression on his face eased a little.

"I heard that the junior brother took the talisman to Diyuan as soon as he came out of the water prison. Is it true or not?"

"is true."

"How can you--"

The Taoist who called himself Xu Zhi was anxious, saw the red rope protruding from Chen Heng's wrist, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to tear it off, but he only stretched his hand halfway, and then remembered Chen Heng's cold and lonely temperament in the past.

His movements suddenly froze, neither advancing nor retreating.

"That, I..."

"Senior Brother Lao came here to make a special point. If you don't think it's too simple, please come in and talk about it."

Chen Heng smiled slightly, and bowed his hands in a salute, with the same expression on his face.

"Oh, well, good to say..."

Xu Zhi seemed to be a little more frightened than before. He glanced at Chen Heng cautiously, and pinched himself in no doubt, only suspecting that he was still in a dream.

Seeing that Chen Heng's expression was always calm, Xu Zhi shrank his neck and tiptoed in.

The two sat down as guest and host, and after Chen Heng initiated the conversation for a few words, Xu Zhi's appearance of being hit by a ghost in the daytime restrained a little, and a smile appeared on his face.

"After traveling through life and death, I didn't expect my junior brother to have such a change. Great kindness, congratulations! I wanted to tell you a long time ago, this stagnant qi builds up in my heart, not only is it not good for health preservation, it even hinders my practice. "

Xu Zhi raised the teacup on the table: "Seeing you like this, I feel relieved."

Chen Heng glanced at it.

On the opposite side is the Taoist priest named Xu Zhi, with black eyebrows and star eyes, handsome in appearance and extraordinary in appearance, which makes it difficult for people to feel bad, but it's a pity that there is always a bit of hesitation in the expression on his eyebrows, which makes the whole person feel a little timid out of thin air .

Chen Heng thought for a while before finding out the relationship between Xu Zhi and his predecessor from his memory.

This person was originally considered outstanding among the many disciples of the Xuanzhen Sect. He was proficient in the techniques of Danding and Huang Lao. .

So.

He was accepted as a personal disciple by Gu Jun Taoist, one of the three elders in the sect, to pass on the classics, and he has a bright future.

But the good times didn't last long. During a demon slaying, he somehow made a mistake, and the meridians in his right hand were damaged, so he could no longer hold the sword.

Taoist Gu Jun was also inexplicably furious, expelled him from the gate wall, and smashed the alchemy furnace that he personally gave him, humiliating him severely.

At that time, Chen Heng's predecessor had been brought to the Xuanzhen School by Yan Zhen.

Some Taoist priests who wanted to cling to him talked a lot, making Xu Zhi's incident a joke to please him.

Chen Heng also learned that Xu Zhi was cowardly on the way to kill the monster, not only died several Xuanzhen sect disciples, but also the only son of his master Gu Jun Taoist, also fell into the hands of the big monster.

After this incident, Xu Zhi's state of mind became unstable. Not only did he have no success in practicing qi, but even his alchemy was useless.

Many Taoists who had hated him in the past came to add insult to injury, as if they were beating a dog in the water.

Out of inexplicable sympathy, Xu Zhi was made a member of the musicians by his predecessor after Leshanfang was built.

Also because of this action, those Taoist priests who mocked Xu Zhi felt jealous, and finally they could only disperse like birds and beasts.

The previous life didn't take this matter seriously, and he couldn't even remember what Xu Zhi looked like, but he didn't expect that in this situation, he was the first one to visit him.

"Senior Brother Xu is a trustworthy person."

Chen Heng thought to himself.

"However, Senior Brother Rong, I dare to offend, this matter of Diyuan—"

Xu Zhi put down the teacup and was about to persuade, but was interrupted by Chen Heng shaking his head.

"Diyuan, I have to go, brother, please don't say too much."

"You have also read Taoist scriptures thoroughly, don't you know that the underground abyss leads to the netherworld, deep and dark, and how many demons and ghosts have been suppressed in it?
In ancient times, even the corpse-dissolving immortal who came from outside the sky fell into the abyss, and Dongmizhou rained blood for five days for this! "

Xu Zhi was in a hurry:
"The Zongmen issued a talisman edict to ask disciples to go to Diyuan to collect Yin horses and human face mushrooms. Although the rewards given are generous, they are in exchange for your life! If you die in Diyuan, you will not even be able to ask for reincarnation. If you want to be tortured there for eternity, isn't that just what Elder Yan and Yan Ping want?"

Diyuan is a tunnel connecting the Netherworld Underworld in the Eastern Mizhou.

Not only in Dongmi, but also in the other eight states, there are diyuans in the world.

Although this place is a burial place, a treacherous place, and a place of extreme yin and tyranny, which is rare and violent, it also contains a lot of cultivation resources.

Such as the yin horse and the human face.

The former can be used as a great medicine in the first "Dragon and Tiger Furnace Cauldron" of Dongxuan.

The latter is ground into incense, which can temporarily break the delusion of heavenly demons and chaos, and keep the altar clear.

This is only a foreign medicine for the shallow layer of the abyss, let alone the properties of the more remote and dark places.

When Chen Heng was still imprisoned in the water prison, Taoist priests in the torture room mentioned this matter intentionally or unintentionally.

Although he knew that there was a fraud, he still secretly wrote down the matter at that time, and when the ban was removed, he went to the service room to receive the talisman.

He goes to the abyss.

Not only for the reward, but also for the sake of allowing him to survive——

"Xu Min's cold fight is really powerful and powerful. If I still can't find the great medicine of the yang attribute to subdue my body, within half a month, I will die."

Chen Heng looked at Xu Zhi, and said lightly:

"But I don't have any wealth on me. I can buy great medicine. When Yan Zhen was alive, I didn't take anything from her. After she died, as you can see, the Leshanfang was confiscated by the sect. My Lezheng and you musicians have become ordinary Taoists."

"However, in the Zongmen, as long as they receive the talisman edict to go to Diyuan, everyone will be given two bottles of Xiaobaiyang pill and eight hundred talisman money before leaving. Regardless of the talisman money, those two bottles of pills Wanzai, I can at least suppress the cold fighting qi in my body for half a year, Senior Brother Xu, if I want to survive, that's all I have to do."

……

in fact.

There was another reason why Chen Heng didn't say it.

The Diyuan Talisman Edict is the edict of the head of the Xuanzhen Sect, and the Yin-Seeking Horse and the Human-Mianzhi are also his preferences.

In front of this high-caliber master trainer who is only one step away from Jindan, even Yan Feichen, who is as reckless as Yan Feichen, can only bow his head and obey orders.

Accepting the Diyuan Fu Zhao meant that before going to Diyuan, at least on the bright side, Yan Feichen could not take action against him.

Otherwise, it would be to refute the face of this great refiner and deliberately try to please him.

For this reason, even though he knew that the priest in the torture room in the water prison deliberately told him, Chen Heng had no choice but to act like this.

"This this……"

Xu Zhi opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but finally sat down slumped, closed his eyes and let out a sigh.

"After all, Junior Brother is kind to me, so why don't you let me watch you die like this?" He said.

"It's okay, after entering the abyss, I will secretly find a secluded place to refine the Xiaobaiyang pill, so as not to compete for those foreign medicines."

Chen Heng lowered his eyes and smiled: "I'm not the corpse-dissolving immortal in the ancient books, I have to go to the deepest part of the Netherworld to seek death."

Seeing that Chen Heng has made up his mind.

Xu Zhi was startled, then sighed and took out two volumes from his bosom.

"This is a book on fencing and a book on medicine. Senior brother, I have nothing but these two things." Xu Zhi explained: "Fencing is handed down from my Xu family. Meaning, as for medical books..."

When he said this, Xu Zhi's face turned pale: "The medical book is my brother's experience, so you can use it to relieve boredom."

Seeing Chen Heng cupped his hands to thank him for catching it, Xu Zhicai relaxed. Not long after, when he was about to say goodbye and leave, a thought suddenly popped up in Chen Heng's mind.

"Brother, please stay respectful, I still have something to ask."

Chen Heng called him: "Senior brother, how did you get the breath in the first place? In addition to the method of sudden enlightenment and blessing to the soul, are there other methods? I read that there is a sentence in the Taoist scriptures that is "fear of life and death, and the gods are content", but the relationship between life and death time, can you realize the sense of fetal breath more?"

"Yes... there is such a saying, but this method is too urgent and dangerous."

Xu Zhi who had already turned around stopped when he heard this, thought for a while, and then said:

"Such as fire, stone strikes, thunder, flooding, etc., can actually be regarded as the method of obtaining fetal breath through life and death. You must know that fetal breath is the true yang point of a person. The more you can keep this breath.

Taking advantage of life and death to obtain fetal breath is nothing more than frightening and intimidating the spirit, forcing oneself to enter the chaotic and mysterious state like a baby in the mother's womb, and then conveniently obtain that sense of breath. "

Speaking of this, Xu Zhi advised again: "This is too risky, you can just listen to it, junior brother, but don't try it yourself."

"I understand."

Chen Heng nodded in response, and gently stroked the golden cicada with his left hand, feeling certain in his heart.

"Sure enough, it seems that there is no mistake in guessing."

A few steps away from him, Xu Zhi seemed to turn a blind eye to Jin Chan.

Regarding this, Chen Heng has already verified it on others.

Except for myself, there seems to be no other person in this world who can see and touch this jade carving.

Otherwise, he would not be able to keep Jin Chan at all when the Taoist priest in the punishment room asked for bribes.

"Heng still has some doubts and puzzles in Taoism, I don't know, senior brother, can you please explain one or two for me?"

Without thinking too much, Chen Heng bowed to the ground and saluted Xu Zhi very solemnly.

The predecessor is not good.

Although I read some Taoist scriptures during the years when I was a canary, I didn't ask for a deep understanding. It can be said that I don't know anything about the main points of the scriptures.

But Xu Zhi was different.

He used to be a genius disciple of Xuanzhen Sect, with extraordinary sword skills and medical skills, and he even practiced with Taoist Gu Jun among the three elders for a period of time.

The ranks of the immortals in this world are clear, divided into fetal breath, Qi practice, foundation building, Zifu, Dongxuan, Jindan...

As for all kinds of things after Jindan, don't mention it.

After the fetal breath, there are nine stages of practicing qi, which is also called nine times of practicing qi.

As for after the Nine Returns, in the realms of Zhuji, Zifu, and Dongxuan, each has a triple realm, until the Jindan Fangxiu.

Although Xu Zhi later gave up on himself and abandoned the way of practicing qi, after all, he is also a Taoist who has achieved fetal breath and cultivated to the sixth level of practicing qi.

Xu Zhi may not be able to answer some difficult questions.

But with Chen Heng's current knowledge, he couldn't ask these questions anyway.

If it is to answer doubts, at present, there is no one more suitable for Chen Heng than Xu Zhi.

"Okay... easy to say."

Xu Zhi was taken aback again, he had never seen Chen Heng in such a good way, and he had enough surprises today.

"I don't know what the younger brother wants to ask?"

He looked at the handsome young man who looked like a god, and carefully considered:
"After all, I'm only practicing the sixth level of qi, so don't be offended by some things that don't make sense."

"How dare, how dare, I want to ask my brother, this wild bird with two horns, the divination is a sign of the enemy's coming, but if it is placed in the meridians of the human body, what should be done?" Chen Heng thought Overjoyed, I quickly asked for advice.

Xu Zhi frowned and pondered for a while before slowly opening his mouth.

……

……

Until the climax of the moon.

Chen Heng just sent Xu Zhi out of the cave, and this time, he learned a lot from the questioning. Apart from the doubts accumulated in his heart when he was in the water prison, he also intentionally or unintentionally asked about the Xuanzhen School's method of practicing qi.

But learned.

The method of cultivating high-level true qi is hard to find in the entire Eastern Mizhou, and it is only kept in the hands of those great sects.

Don't say that once you see it, it's rare to even hear it.

"However, it's up to people to do it. How do you know what will happen in the future?"

After closing the door of the mansion, Chen Heng let out a long sigh of relief, only feeling that the fog in front of his eyes had dissipated, and the sky was vast, so he couldn't help but clapped his hands and laughed:

"Death and life are fearful, and the gods are proud... I understand, so it is so, so it is so! With the golden cicada in my hand, from now on, the fetal breath is in the same realm so that there is no hindrance for me!"

He lit the candles, sat down in front of the desk again, and wrote down his thoughts on the paper one by one.

……

Two days later.

A clear and clear sound resounded throughout the Xiaogan Mountain, and all the Taoists of the Xuanzhen sect were alarmed by the sound of the golden bell on the jade pan, and walked out of the cave.

"After waiting for so long, it finally came."

Holding the red rope on his wrist that suddenly started to heat up with the ringing of the bell, Chen Heng smiled, lifted the hem of his robe, and walked out the door as well.

　Thanks to Dongfeng Nandu for the 10000-point reward, thanks to Yanyu Liubo for the 1500-point reward, thanks to Lin Ran for the 100-point reward, and thanks to book friend 20200414171619762 for the 100-point reward.
