From clam spirit to mirage dragon fairy

Chapter 3
So in the end, Guyang decided to borrow the concept of golden elixir technique to develop his own way of practice.

The first is the first level of "meditation".

Buddhism wants all four elements to be empty and see through the world of mortals.

That requires too much attention to the state of mind and is not something that Guyang can do.

The methods of Taoism and Confucianism are worth learning from.

Although their methods are different, their concepts are the same.

"Focus"

Beginning Taoists use visualization methods to stabilize the mind, and use ethereal images of gods to gather all the mind.

As long as we reach the state of unity between God and self, we will be successful.

Confucianism is more direct, just develop a hobby.

You can play music, chess, calligraphy and painting. When you focus on a certain career, your mind will naturally become calm.

After going around and around, Guyang returned to the starting point.

"Huang Ting Nei Jing Jing" is a classic work that explains the human body and its hundred gods.

However, this time Gu Yang no longer recited perfunctorily silently, but consciously simulated and guessed the appearance of various gods mentioned in the scriptures.

The ultimate way is to stay true without trouble,
There are gods in every section of Niwan.

The hair god Canghua is named Taiyuan,
Naoshenjinggenzi Niwan,
The eyes are clearly marked with the name Yingxuan,
The nose god Yulong has the word Lingjian.
The word "youtian" for the ear god's free time,
The magical power of the tongue means Zhenglun,
The tooth god Yi Feng has the courtesy name Luo Qian.

One-sided Shenzong Niwan,

Niwan and Jiuzhen all have houses.

In this one-inch radius,

Wear purple clothes and Fei Luo Shang.

But if you think about it, your life span will be endless.

They don't live separately in everyone's mind.

Sit facing outward.

The mind that exists is equivalent to itself.

In the darkness, Guyang recited the Huangting Sutra over and over again, trying to figure out the details.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to truly enter the state of "focus."

Because this is a very boring thing, there will always be all kinds of strange ideas popping up to interrupt his train of thought.

For example, when Gu Yang thinks of "hair god Cang Hua Zi Tai Yuan", he will think of all kinds of hair, such as black, long, straight, wavy, golden, curly, silver and snow white.

When I read "tongue magical power, mingzi Zhenglun", I don't know why I think of something like flaming red lips.

In the final analysis, Guyang's thinking is still that of an otaku in modern society. The colorful world of mortals has given Guyang all kinds of information and knowledge, but it has also obliterated the original innocence.

The more Gu Yang forced himself, the less able he was to concentrate, and he only became distracted and agitated.

I don’t know how many times he has experimented and how many scriptures he has read, but Gu Yang is still unable to concentrate.

Just when Guyang had the idea of ​​giving up, a cool air suddenly enveloped Guyang.

Along with this cool air, a peaceful mood poured into Guyang's heart.

That was the telepathy of the giant clam next to Guyang.

After so many days of experiments, Gu Yang didn't realize at all how strong his mood swings were.

It just so happens that Guyang and Juben are both newbies on the road to spiritual practice.

They don't know how to restrain their thoughts and demonic power.

Then the giant clam heard all the verses that Guyang recited word for word.

The giant clam is not Guyang.

It has almost never been exposed to the colorful world outside. Since it turned on its spiritual intelligence, it has either been hiding at the bottom of the lake or living in a cave.

It is like a blank piece of paper that has never been rendered by pen and ink.

The calmness and concentration that Gu Yang longed for was simply a piece of cake here in the giant clam, because it would not generate distracting thoughts at all.

The innocent giant clam just silently recited the sutra a few times and unconsciously mobilized the demonic power around him.

Those demonic powers smoothly merged into the soul of the giant clam spirit, turning into statues of unknown gods.

Each inner spirit was transformed by the pure thoughts of the giant clam spirit, and like pure water, the filthy air in the demonic power and the animal nature born from the blood were turned into pure mana.

After a few weeks, the giant clam spirit found that the efficiency of refining spiritual energy had increased several times. The giant clam body not only shrank in size, but also eliminated a lot of the fishy smell belonging to aquatic creatures, giving it an air of lightness.

Giant Clam Spirit knows that this is a precious cultivation method.

It is innocent and hopes to share its joy with Guyang.

However, it was discovered that Guyang's mood swings were very strong, and he actually developed a sense of recovery.

Of course, the giant clam spirit who regards Guyang as his descendant will not stand idly by.

So the Giant Clam Spirit completely let go of his mind, pulled Guyang's spiritual thoughts into his own artistic conception, and forcibly controlled Guyang's demonic power with his new "demon power".

It must use its own artistic conception and demonic power to drive Guyang's own soul and demonic power to practice together.

At this moment, the spiritual thoughts of Guyang and the giant clam spirit were entangled with each other, and the two demonic forces formed a perfect circulation channel.

The Giant Clam Spirit does not understand the way of dual cultivation, but at this moment it and Guyang have indeed achieved the fact of dual cultivation.

This means that Guyang has no ill intentions, otherwise someone with evil intentions could easily swallow up the giant clam spirit's soul and demonic power.

After many twists and turns, Guyang finally entered the state of cultivation for the first time under the guidance of the Giant Clam Spirit.

The innocent and peaceful state of mind of the Giant Clam Spirit plays an important role in this.

Guyang couldn't have any distracting thoughts in this state.

Guyang's mixed demon power flowed into the giant clam spirit's body and was refined into pure magic power, and then fed back into Guyang's body to condense into an inner god.

Guyang carefully understood the magic power of the giant clam spirit.

Perhaps because of his origins in the aquatic tribe, the magic power of the giant clam spirit is like a clear spring that is not stained by the filth of the world, pure, gentle and endless.

The dirty air and demonic nature in the bodies of both parties are constantly being purified and washed away.

The spiritual energy that was quickly refined began to produce a siphon effect around him.

A steady stream of spiritual energy swarmed in, filling the void in this space.

The newly gathered spiritual energy was greedily absorbed into the body by Guyang and the Giant Clam Spirit for refining.

This caused the spiritual energy around both parties to gather more and more, and finally turned into a whirlpool-like existence.

Guyang's mind gradually became completely immersed in practice.Those tamed auras gradually turned into mana.

But there is something wrong with it.

The inner spirit condensed with mana is manifested by the giant clam spirit, so it is not controlled by Guyang at all.

It is said that it is dual cultivation, but in fact it is completely the giant clam spirit leading Guyang to practice.

As soon as the magic power of the giant clam spirit is withdrawn, those inner gods will disappear.

This is not the result Gu Yang needs.

The Giant Clam Spirit can help him for a while but cannot help him for the rest of his life.

Guyang must gather his inner spirit.

Now that Guyang is assisted by the Giant Clam Spirit, it is much easier to visualize.

Guyang gave up the entanglement with the giant clam spirit and immersed himself in the magic power.

With the operation of mana, Gu Yang continued to become familiar with simulating the appearance and physical signs of those inner gods.

It's like copying a world-famous painting. You don't need to design or write the text yourself, you just need to copy it.

Each inner god begins to crumble, but soon a new god emerges to replace all the old ones.

Guyang, who was copying his homework, finally gathered his inner spirit.

Different from the giant clam essence that is as warm as water, the inner spirit condensed by Guyang explodes like fire.

The giant clam spirit purifies and washes away the demonic power, but Guyang burns it with fire.

The flame-like power of the soul continuously burns away all the filthy evil spirits in the body.

Although one water and one fire are completely opposite, the effects they produce are the same.

The demonic power will be transformed into pure mana immediately after it circulates in the body.

This is a difference in nature between the two parties.

The giant clam spirit is accustomed to aquatic life, and its temperament is just like this water.

Guyang is different.

His dominant thought is human beings, and when he mentions refining, the first thing that comes to mind is "flame".

That's why the characteristics of Guyang's refining demonic power are as violent as fire.

When Guyang gradually adapted to the operation of his own mana, the giant clam spirit slowly withdrew his mana.

This practice of the giant clam spirit consumed too much of its energy, and it had to fall asleep again to regain its energy.

Guyang looked gratefully at the huge body of the giant clam spirit.

The Giant Clam Spirit regarded him as a junior partner, so he spared no effort to help him.

But Guyang couldn't really regard the giant clam spirit as a kinsman.

Because Guyang always thinks of himself as a "person".

However, Gu Yang also secretly vowed to protect the giant clam spirit in this life and never let it fall outside the gate of immortality.

Having already mastered the art of cultivation, Guyang temporarily put aside his distracting thoughts and focused on cultivating himself.

With the spiritual energy supplemented, Guyang and the Giant Clam Spirit did not need to eat, so Guyang never ate those mayflies or small fish and shrimps after that day.

What's more, Guyang doesn't like eating live fish sashimi.

The pure mana refines one's demonic body again and again.

The fishy smell belonging to the aquatic tribe dissipated day by day, and instead gained an air of lightness.

Guyang's demon body is getting bigger day by day, but the giant clam spirit's demon body is getting smaller day by day.

Because the giant clam transformed into a demon for a long time and accumulated a lot of demonic impurities, it is just a normal phenomenon to shrink its body.

Another seven years passed in a flash.

The giant clam's body has shrunk to the size of a washbasin.

The hard clam shell looks like two pieces of purple-red jade, and it is so bright that it is not ordinary at first glance.

The white, tender and soft flesh transformed from a soft ball into the outline of a beautiful girl.

In its arms, it holds a fist-sized orb that glows brightly and is extremely charming.

Of course, only other races like pearls. As a clam spirit, I don't like this thing.

Because they will intercept a lot of their own spiritual power.

In addition to the pearls, there is also a faint golden aura gathering in the lower abdomen of the clam spirit.

That is the "demon elixir" that Clam Spirit has worked hard to cultivate.

Even if you have practiced the methods of the Shangqing Sect, as a demon you still need to go through the process of forming pills.

A few days ago, Clam Spirit told Guyang that his catastrophe was coming.

That is a test sent by God. Every demon will experience three disasters and nine disasters in his life.

Wind disaster, fire disaster, and thunder disaster are collectively called the three disasters.

Swordsmanship, plague, famine, subsidence, landslides, bad water, decline, premature death, and falling from the devil are all called the nine difficulties.

And human beings are no exception. Three disasters and nine disasters are unavoidable for every practitioner.

Unfortunately being unable to grow up in childhood is a risk of premature death.

Guyang and Benjing had already overcome this difficulty.

Destiny and longevity are destined to decline.

The life limit of a pearl clam is 80 years.

The clam spirit has long since passed away, and now it is more than 300 years old.

And since Gu Yang's lifespan has greatly increased since he opened his spirit and transformed into a demon, this difficulty can be considered over.

Then the Clam Spirit Formation Pill will face the first catastrophe of the demon life.

This is the "Wind Tribulation" that Patriarch Bodhi told Sun Wukong in Journey to the West.

The wind from the sky rises from the five internal organs and goes straight to the spring of heaven.

The evil wind is like a knife cutting into the bones and scattering the soul, it is very dangerous.

I don't know that there are a few practitioners from the human and demon tribes who fell under this disaster.
