Under one person: I, Zhang Zhiwei, the arrogant Zhang.

Chapter 623 The master was shocked. His disciple became a saint?

I heard from Zhang Zhiwei that he had some health problems due to his spiritual practice.

Zhang Jingqing and Zhang Yi's expressions suddenly became stern and they looked at his palm seriously.

Zhang Zhiwei's palms are very slender with wide joints.

Such hands often give people a lean feeling, but his are different. They are very full, with delicate skin, clear and neat palm lines, and a yellow luster.

At first glance, it looks like a piece of topaz, and even gives people an inexplicable feeling of perfection.

After staring at Zhang Zhiwei's hand carefully for a while, Zhang Yi and Zhang Jingqing looked at each other, with surprise and doubt in their eyes.

There was shock and surprise in Zhang Jingqing's eyes.

There was confusion and puzzlement in Zhang Yi's eyes.

"It has this color..."

Zhang Yi pondered for a moment and said, "As far as I know, there is a method called Xuanyu Hand in the martial arts world. It can use Qi to train your palms. After practicing, your palms will be as hard as iron and stone, invulnerable to swords and spears, but at the same time, your palms will also become like Xuanyu. I know you have a wide range of interests. Could it be that you have learned a similar method?"

Zhang Zhiwei shook his head: "Uncle Master, have you forgotten? I never learn horizontal training methods that are harmful to one's life, such as Iron Sand Palm and Iron Refining Hand."

"Why does it appear in this color?" Zhang Yi wondered.

Then he noticed that not only Zhang Zhiwei's palms, but also his wrists, the section of his forearm exposed by his sleeves, and even his neck and face were of the same color.

Not only that, Zhang Zhiwei's eyes were blazing, like flying stars. When he looked into her eyes, he felt a stinging pain in his eyes.

This look, this skin color, made him inexplicably feel that the person sitting in front of him was not his nephew Zhang Zhiwei, but a statue of a god, a jade statue, without any trace of worldly life. He was looking up from bottom to top.

This feeling made him feel uncomfortable, but also very familiar, just like when he went to worship the statues of his ancestors on weekdays.

What's going on? Why do I feel this way? I must be sick... Zhang Yi guessed that something unimaginable might have happened to Zhang Zhiwei, but because it was unimaginable, he subconsciously stopped thinking about it.

Sometimes, the younger generations are too strong, which makes their elders proud but also makes them feel ashamed.

But at this time, the shock on Zhang Jingqing's face faded. Ever since he accepted Zhang Zhiwei as his disciple, Zhang Zhiwei had given him enough shocks, so much so that he was somewhat immune to them. So this time he quickly adjusted his state.

He glanced at Zhang Yi and noticed the complicated expressions in his eyes. He felt a sense of humor, as if his own child ranked first in the exam while the relatives next to him were shocked. He smiled and said:

"Don't mind it, you'll get used to it. Your uncle's cultivation of 'life' is shallow and his vision is very narrow. He is like a frog in a well in this regard."

How could Zhang Yi tolerate being called a frog in a well? He immediately glared at him.

However, Zhang Jingqing continued to talk to himself: "I told you to improve your 'life' more often. You either want to draw talismans or study rituals. When your life cultivation reaches a breakthrough one day, you will..."

Zhang Jingqing smiled, but stopped and said nothing more.

"What will happen?" Zhang Yi asked.

Zhang Jingqing laughed and said, "It will be even more surprising!"

Zhang Yi said unhappily, "It sounds very evil. I won't bother with you. Come on, tell me what's going on with this kid Zhiwei."

Speaking of this, Zhang Jingqing's face turned serious, he took Zhang Zhiwei's hand and said:

"It is broad and full, extremely delicate, and as smooth as jade. It also contains a great power. Although I don't know what happened to this kid Zhiwei, if these things were placed in the legend, they would be the appearance of gods and Buddhas."

"The appearance of a god or Buddha?" Zhang Yi was startled and looked at Zhang Zhiwei carefully. As he looked at him, he murmured:
"There is a white hair between the eyebrows. This is the white hair between the eyebrows."

"The eyelashes are neat and tidy, which is the appearance of the king of eyelashes."

"The eyes are full of brilliance, and there is a faint flash of dark blue light in them. This is the dark blue phase."

"The cheeks are full like a lion. This is the lion cheek physiognomy."

"The upper body is as vast as a lion king, majestic and dignified. This is the upper body lion aspect...

"Hands hanging down, arms longer than the knees, this is the posture of hands hanging down below the knees..."

Zhang Yi looked at Zhang Zhiwei carefully, talking to himself, his face full of surprise.

Immortal and Buddha are the names given to people of a certain level in different religions. The names are different, but the essence is the same.

As for what immortality is, Taoism has a more mysterious and profound explanation.

However, Buddhism has a very comprehensive record of what Buddha is, including even detailed records of Buddha's appearance.

For example, Buddhist scriptures such as the "Great Prajnaparamita Sutra" studied the Buddha from all aspects, including the shape of his hair, eyebrows, eyes, ears, etc., and finally came to the conclusion of thirty-two characteristics and eighty good qualities.

These conclusions may not all be correct, but they conform to certain innate principles and have some reference value.

Zhang Yi compared the characteristics of Zhang Zhiwei with the characteristics of Buddha in the Buddhist scriptures one by one, and was surprised to find that most of them matched.

For example, his face is like a lion and his body is like a lion. This is why my senior brother often calls Zhang Zhiwei the arrogant lion.

Another thing is his long arms. He had long discovered that Zhang Zhiwei had long arms and legs, like a gibbon.

Even his tongue is very long, much longer than that of most people.

He and several elders often said that this kid had a long tongue because he couldn't control his mouth and kept talking nonsense.

But now that I think about it, I have a new discovery.

The tongue is wide and long, could it be one of the thirty-two characteristics of a Buddha, the long tongue? !

Zhang Yi was suspicious and said to Zhang Zhiwei, "Show me your teeth?"

Zhang Zhiwei did as he was told, revealing a mouthful of fine, white teeth, among which the four front teeth were particularly shiny.

Zhang Yi reached out and pinched Zhang Zhiwei's chin. After looking at his teeth over and over for a while, he flicked his finger at his front teeth.

Zhang Yi's fingertips were mixed with a hint of golden light, and when they hit Zhang Zhiwei's front teeth, a clanging sound like the low hum of metal was emitted, as if it was not a tooth that was hit, but a piece of tempered steel.

Although my attainments in golden light are far inferior to Zhang Zhiwei's, I am also quite insightful. Even if this finger hits pig iron, it will leave some marks. But when it hits his front teeth, there is no reaction at all?

Zhang Yi was surprised, and he exerted more force with his fingers, accumulating enough golden light, and was ready to try again.

Zhang Zhiwei quickly shut up: "Uncle Master, what are you doing?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhang Yi's front teeth, his eyes full of eagerness.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Yi quickly extinguished the golden light in his hand, retreated behind Zhang Jingqing, and said in surprise: "Brother, this kid is a bit weird. His teeth are white and neat, without any gaps. In the bald donkey world, this is called the white and neat teeth phase. The four front teeth are smooth, sharp and solid like diamonds, which is the four white teeth phase."

"These are all among the twenty-eight characteristics of the Buddha. Except for a few features such as the lack of forty teeth and the lack of a fleshy bun on the head, the others are almost all correct."

The twenty-eight characteristics of Buddha... Zhang Zhiwei knew a lot about Taoist scriptures and some martial arts classics, but he was not very knowledgeable about Buddhism, let alone paying attention to the appearance of Buddha.

Zhang Jingqing nodded and said, "It is indeed correct. The facts are just as you and I expected. Zhiwei is practicing the way of a saint and has come a long way."

"His body is undergoing a transformation. As for the forty teeth you mentioned, they are undergoing a transformation. Teeth are bones, so they are always the last to transform."

Zhang Jingqing's words surprised Zhang Yi even more: "Brother, what you mean is that if Zhiwei grows forty teeth, he will be the Buddha?"

"Not really, it's just that his body looks more like Buddha." Zhang Jingqing said.

"Why would our Taoism produce a..." Zhang Yi's mind was a little confused. He looked at Zhang Zhiwei with a strange expression and said, "A Buddha?"

Zhang Jingqing shook his head and said, "The Great Dao has different paths but the same destination. It is just an external manifestation after reaching a certain level of cultivation. The Ming History records that Zhang Sanfeng had a tall and majestic figure, like a lion, with a turtle-like shape and a crane-like back, big ears and round eyes, and a beard like a halberd. If you think about it carefully, isn't he similar to the twenty-eight characteristics of the Buddha?"

"Junior brother, you mainly practice talismans, and you are not deeply involved in the way of life. It is normal that you don't understand the transformation of these lives."

Zhang Yi suddenly realized, and then stopped asking questions, trying hard to process this fact in his mind.

Zhang Jingqing looked at Zhang Zhiwei: "This step is not easy, how did you do it?"

Zhang Zhiwei thought for a moment and said, "Is it the result of my hard work day and night in these years?"

"There are countless practitioners who temper their lives day and night, why don't they see such a change?" Zhang Jingqing said: "Even if it is really related, there should be an opportunity, a trigger. What is your opportunity, your trigger?"

Opportunity... Introduction... Zhang Zhiwei pondered for a moment, and a light bulb suddenly lit up in his head, and he said:
"Master, do you remember that I went down the mountain not long ago and took back Qing Xuanzi's soul?"

"Remember!" Zhang Jingqing nodded.

Zhang Zhiwei continued, "After Qing Xuanzi self-destructed that day, she left her remaining soul behind. I obtained the fragments of the method she practiced from her remaining soul. Because I was quite interested in it, I tried to practice it..."

"And you succeeded in practicing it?" Zhang Yi was stunned and couldn't help but ask.

Beside him, Zhang Jingqing also found it incredible. As for the methods of Xuanmen cultivation, let alone the incomplete ones, even if it was the complete version, without a teacher to teach them orally, there would be a lot of people who would learn them incorrectly and die.

As for Qing Xuanzi's method, the soul is immortal and eating Qi makes one immortal. You can imagine how difficult it is. Can Zhang Zhiwei figure out this method? And master it?

"I haven't mastered it!" said Zhang Zhiwei.

Zhang Jingqing and Zhang Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

But then, the two felt something was wrong.

Zhang Jingqing was thinking.

Zhang Yi asked: "How could you have such a change if you haven't mastered it yet? And even if Qing Xuanzi has mastered it, he hasn't changed like you!"

Zhang Zhiwei said, "Master just talked about opportunities and introductions. I have accumulated a lot of knowledge in my daily life. What I lack is just an introduction, an opportunity. It doesn't matter whether I can practice it or not. It's OK as long as the opportunity comes. And..."

He changed the subject and said, "That method is not difficult, it's just a little complicated. I am only a few steps away from mastering it!"

"How many steps are how many steps?" Zhang Jingqing noticed that Zhang Zhiwei paused when he said this.

"Two steps!" Zhang Zhiwei told the truth.

"Is there any difference between this and just one step away?" Zhang Jingqing was speechless.

"Master, it was you who told me to be humble in my daily life!" said Zhang Zhiwei.

Zhang Jingqing suddenly laughed out of anger. He bent his index and middle fingers and slapped Zhang Zhiwei on the forehead with a "bang" sound, just like the sound of a bell.

Zhang Zhiwei touched his forehead and belatedly cried out "Ouch!", after which an exaggerated expression of pain appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Zhang Jingqing and Zhang Yi both put on masks of pain, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, how could there be such poor acting skills in the world?

Zhang Jingqing also used this opportunity to hide her surprised expression and the red fingers that were gently waving under her wide sleeves.

What a hard head! Every hit on it used to cause a bump and make him run away in fear. But now, hitting it is like knocking on a huge bell in front of the mountain gate.

Since letting this kid come down from the mountain and enter the world, his progress is unimaginable, one thing after another...

Zhang Jingqing sighed inwardly.

"Stop pretending. What are you pretending for? Just find a monkey trainer on the street. The monkey has better acting skills than you. It's like you complained that your senior brother didn't hit you hard enough. If you keep pretending, be careful that he will use his magic sword to chop you!" Zhang Yi looked at him with empty eyes and said unhappily.

Zhang Zhiwei smiled bitterly and stopped pretending. He sat up straight and looked at Zhang Jingqing's right hand: "Master, just drink tea. Why are you putting your right hand in your sleeve? Are you really going to take out a hammer to hit me?"

Zhang Jingqing snorted coldly, took out his hand from his sleeve, which had a faint redness on the joints, and said, "Keep talking about cultivation!"

Zhang Zhiwei thought for a moment and said, "Some things are hard to describe in words, so I'll just show you!"

After saying this, he immediately assumed the posture of five hearts facing the sky and began to mobilize the seven spirits in the body, generating the Qi from the Dantian, which is the solar chakra, all the way to the ego chakra, the root chakra, and finally along the spine to the Baihui point of the crown chakra.

Baihui Point is the door to heaven. Opening the Baihui Point is equivalent to permanently opening the bridge between heaven and earth, allowing you to absorb the natural Qi of heaven and earth.

The Tiangang Sect of Liaodong's stepping on the Gang Bu Dou technique is to open the Baihui acupoint briefly through steps, so as to absorb the power of heaven and earth.

Zhang Zhiwei was stuck at this level, but he didn't care about it, nor did he have any obsession with connecting the bridge between heaven and earth and absorbing the power of nature.

His attention was focused on his own changes.

The last time he completed the profound skill, he had just cultivated the seven spirits and the changes in his body were relatively small, so he could not sense it obviously.

But now, after cultivating the Seven Souls for some time, changes have become noticeable. He discovered that the power of the Seven Souls, which was supposed to nourish his soul, actually began to nourish his body because he lacked the method to mobilize this power to nourish his soul.

The seven souls are an important component of "life". After being strengthened, the seven souls began to feed back to the body, which naturally brought about a chain reaction and became a fuse, detonating the success of his daily hard work in tempering his life, achieving an effect of accumulating strength and then releasing it, which led to such a remarkable transformation.

Of course, this transformation is not forced, but is completely under the control of Zhang Zhiwei. When his Qi is fully open, these changes will appear. When he restrains his Qi and becomes introverted, these changes will disappear.

Profits cannot last long, and they cannot be maintained. This is equivalent to an energy-saving mode of its own.

Although the bridge between heaven and earth was not completely opened, it was only a step away from it, and Zhang Zhiwei could feel the changes in the nature of heaven and earth.

He adjusted himself, brought himself into a state of unity between man and nature, then opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Jingqing and Zhang Yi.

"Master and Uncle Master, I am standing right in front of you. Do you see any changes in me?"
