Comprehensive Martial Arts: Read to become a sage, use martial arts to break the ban

Chapter 37 The Return of the Senior Brother

It rarely snows in Xueyun City, but this winter, it has happened several times.

The plum blossoms spit out their pistils, and the courtyard is full of fragrance.

Xiao Luo put down the "Saving People's Sutra" in his hand, concentrated his breath, and felt the qi in his body.

Qi is different from the real energy of a warrior.

True essence is internal energy, although it is invisible, it has quality.

Qi is the innate vitality of the human body. It is invisible and has no quality. It comes from the universe and is the original substance that gives birth to everything.

Taoism believes:

At the time of the Yankang calamity, the chaos had not yet opened, and there was only Miao Qi; at the beginning of the Longhan calamity, there was not yet everything; at the beginning of the Chiming calamity, there were yin, yang, sun and moon, and the heavens were born.

Among all the classics of Taoism, "The Book of Duren" was the first to introduce the theory of the heavens, and believed that there are 32 days.

Above the 32 heavens, there is Da Luotian.

Humans have six desire roots, and if one is purified, one can ascend for one day, and when all six are purified, one enters the Form Realm, and then gradually purifies the six-color dust, six fine dust, and six light dust, and then enters the formless realm.

People on the first day of the Formless Realm have no body, only mind.Practicing Qiguan can enter the second day.

Abandon the mind, achieve inaction, and enter the third day.

Xiao Luo thinks that practicing martial arts is considered smooth, but cultivating Taoism is like a blind man feeling an elephant, it is difficult to see the true face.

Perhaps, it is because his six desire roots have not retreated.

After sitting for a while, I couldn't feel anything except the faint trace of qi.

Even that strand of qi is just a gust of wind coming and going.

He picked up the "Saving People" again and recited it.

Xie Xuan walked in, shook his head and said, "Luo Er, your temperament has changed too quickly. One year of Confucianism, one year of Law, one year of Daoism. It is the most taboo to study too much."

Xie Xuan, nicknamed Confucian Sword Immortal, is naturally an inheritor of the orthodox Confucian school. Last year, Xiao Luo read Legalism, but he was quite disdainful of Taoism.

"Master, one day, when you open the gate of heaven with your sword and ascend to the heavens above, maybe you don't think so."

"Nonsense, bright blue sky, where is the sword to open the gate of heaven."

"Over there in Liyang, it is said that Hong Xixiang is the reincarnation of Lu Dongbin. He has practiced the supreme way of heaven, can open the gate of heaven, and can kill immortals."

Xie Xuan had traveled to Liyang, so he naturally knew that this monk was said to be the reincarnation of Lu Zu.

"Practice in Liyang has become popular, but it's a pity that as a teacher, I can't see Hong Xixiang with my own eyes, so I can't confirm these rumors."

He suddenly remembered: "Our Northern Li has a dual cultivation of Taoism and swordsmanship, not weaker than Hong Xixiang. If you really have a heart for Taoism, you might as well ask him for advice."

Xiao Luo knew who he was talking about: "Mount Qingcheng, head teacher Zhao Yuzhen, I have met his disciple, and I will meet him sooner or later."

Zhao Yuzhen and Xie Xuan were listed as the Five Great Sword Immortals, but they never went down Mount Qingcheng, and the two never met.

"However, Li Hanyi..."

Li Hanyi's attitude towards Xiao Luo was sometimes good and sometimes bad, which made Xie Xuan confused.

After Liu Qinghe kidnapped Sikong Qianruo, Li Hanyi simply retreated to Cangshan Mountain, and saw no one except Lei Wujie's swordsmanship.

"Master, do you want to talk about the relationship between Li Hanyi and Zhao Yuzhen? In fact, time can change everything. After so many years, one practicing sword and one cultivating Taoism have already taken different directions."

Xie Xuan laughed at himself: "That's not necessarily the case, but I'm a teacher and a lonely family, so I really don't understand emotional matters."

These strong men in Beili almost all have their own eclectic stories, and even a reckless man like Sikong Chengfeng is chased by beautiful women.

Only Xie Xuan, the Confucian sword fairy with handsome appearance, gentle personality, and excellent poetry and swordsman, has never been rumored.

Xiao Luo couldn't help gossiping: "Master, why don't I have a teacher wife?"

Xie Xuan glared at him: "The relationship between a man and a woman is like a beast in a flood. As a teacher, I'm afraid I can't avoid it. Besides, there is Yan Ruyu in the book."

It turned out to be the case.

After the master and apprentice chatted for a while, Xie Xuan went to the courtyard to copy his picture of red plums and cold snow.

Uncle Dumb was cooking, and there was a strong smell of fish coming from the kitchen.

Xiao Luo looked at the figure of the master holding a pen in the snow for a while, smelled the aroma of the food for a while, and picked up the "Saving People" again.

He had to overcome these Taoist classics in order to receive systematic rewards.

Without systematic rewards, he is nothing. The picture of cold snow and delicious food in front of him will all turn into bubbles and foam.

In the past, Yuanshi Tianzun gave a lecture on the "Lingbao Saving People Sutra" to Shifang Tianzun in Shiqingtian.

At that time, countless gods gathered, the sun, moon and stars stopped moving, the wind was calm and the sea was silent, and the land was flattened, all of which were jasper.

Yuanshi Tianzun sat suspended above the five-colored lion in the air, and said the scriptures ten times, and all diseases of men and women disappeared, the underground gold and jade were exposed, birds and beasts were born, and dead bones were reborn.

The ten celestial deities nodded at the same time, and men and women bowed their hearts in admiration.

This is the origin of the "Saving People" and is also the content of Chapter 1 of this article.

After that, the following 60 volumes are supplementary records of outstanding Taoist descendants, which are divided into three categories:
The first category, according to the theories of yin and yang, three talents, and five elements, explains the formation of the universe, the cultivation of characters, and the way of achieving success in Shunde.

The second category includes prescriptions for eliminating disasters, warding off evil spirits, controlling ghosts, and suppressing demons, so as to pray for relief and relief.

The third category is about preserving form, nourishing spirit, and long life.

Those who cultivate the Tao really care about the third category, such as "Longevity Jiushipin", "Returning to Life and Reviving the Dead" and other volumes of scriptures.

Only wandering Taoist priests who fail to practice Taoism and use it to make a living will study the second type of spells in depth to eliminate disasters and difficulties for those in need.

When Xiao Luo was studying in the back of the small courtyard, outside Xueyun City, a rider came riding on the wind and snow.

Big Brother Tang Lian is back.

In the Gun Immortal Mansion, it was suddenly very lively.

Xiao Han and Lei Wujie looked at the door early in the morning, and Sikong Qianruo was also waiting at the door wrapped in a cloak.

Seeing Tang Lian's figure, before he could rein in his horse, Lei Wujie rushed over.

"Big Brother!"

Tang Lian jumped off the horse, laughed and teased Lei Wujie: "You have a good figure, and it's snowing, and you're still wearing unlined clothes."

Xiao Han shrugged: "He's just dressed like this."

Lei Wujie was very aggrieved: "It's not because of your embezzlement by Boss Xiao. I have to pay you back the money. There are still 300 taels left, so I can only use people to pay off the debt."

"Haha~"

Tang Lian laughed and teased Qianruo again: "You wear so many clothes, you look like a lucky doll for Chinese New Year."

Xiao Han said again: "Her newly made clothes are specially worn to make people admire. Didn't the big brother say that Fuwa means that she is fat?"

"Xiao Han, shut up if you can't speak!"

Before Qianruo could get angry, Tang Lian quickly grabbed them: "Haha, let's go, let's all go into the house."

There are more people in the room.

Before Tang Lian brushed off the wind and snow all over his body, Luo Mingxuan gloated: "Eldest brother is a mule, so he will take on a new mission when he comes back."

"What mission?"

"Go weave the net and become the intelligence leader."

Tang Lian was a little surprised. He knew the importance of web weaving better than anyone else. How could he change people at will?

He scanned the hall, Sikong Chengfeng, Yin Qingxia, Lei Yunhe, and four or five important elders were all looking at him with smiles.

But there was no sign of the second city lord, Li Hanyi.

Tang Lian hadn't returned for a year, and although everyone in the Gun Immortal Mansion still had the same demeanor, for some reason, his intuition made him a little uneasy.

Could it be that something happened to Xueyun City?
