With magical powers, I can quietly meditate on sutras for hundreds of years and become an immortal.

Chapter 122 True Essence and Magic

The monks are like ghosts that are everywhere.

No matter where Li Zhen went, he could hear news about them.

Within Dazhou, there are them.

And in a foreign land outside the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Also, there are their figures.

But Li Zhen was not too surprised by this.

I think of the monk I saw at the Guanyin Temple in Xicheng.

Didn't they come from here exactly?

Li Zhen was noncommittal about the practice of the great monks in preaching to foreigners outside the Great Wall.

The history he has seen today proves it.

Foreigners who believe in Buddhism are like docile tigers whose teeth have been pulled out.

will lose their means of survival.

After that, whatever the monks wanted to do with these people.

I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve their goals.

But that's it.

For those wandering between the vast grasslands and deserts.

For the foreigners who live a life of hardship and precariousness.

This life is hard enough.

The Immortal Heaven cannot bring them the glory and wealth in this life.

Those who turn to the Buddha hope for blessings in the next life.

It is also part of the cleaning process.

Besides, for the monks.

From these devout believers, they can harvest a large amount of incense.

Perhaps this is their purpose?

Li Zhen's heart was racing with thoughts.

There was a strange look on his face, and he shook his head invisibly against the watery night.

It felt a bit funny in my heart.

Secretly, he was the co-owner of the grassland outside the Great Wall and the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The two of them are truly the crouching dragon and phoenix chicks of this era.

A person who looks down on people in martial arts and abolishes the two departments of Zhenwu and Zhenwu, who are in a good situation, wants to suppress martial arts with culture.

The other one even cut off one of his arms.

I lost my ambition and started eating fast and chanting Buddha's name.

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

Li Zhen shook his head and sighed.

But to some extent.

The two of them lived in the same era.

Maybe it's a blessing for both parties?

Such thoughts flowed through my mind.

Li Zhen looked at the man under the bright moon.

From the shadow of the camp that was vaguely visible in the distance, a figure walked step by step.

White monk robes, white beads.

The shiny big head even shimmered under the moonlight.

Old acquaintance!

Ever since many years ago, because of a bottle of incense.

He has always been like a follower, following Dashu Sheng behind him.

I thought he would listen to my kind words and leave.

But unexpectedly.

This great monk still refused to give up.

I don't know how I managed to evade his detection, but I still followed him.

Until now.

Li Zhen suddenly refined all his true energy into true essence.

Thoroughly, after entering the foundation building.

I noticed something from Guo Ju's words.

After building the foundation, he scanned with a faintly more magical mind.

Li Zhen saw the existence of great sages in the not-so-distant Hulan tribe.

And at the same time!

Surprisingly, this person also discovered that Li Zhen was spying on him.

This made Li Zhen feel a little strange.

I have to admit one thing.

Perhaps, he had indeed underestimated these great monks before.

His martial arts skills are extraordinary.

Not in the inner Qi, not in the physical body.

But in.

spirit!

Stroking his neglected beard, a strange color flashed across Li Zhen's eyes.

He remembered what he had seen in the Guanyin Temple, the two monks who could control the mantra of incense.

Originally thought it was just a simple little trick.

He also followed the example and changed it into his own version.

However, now it seems that there is a different origin.

It's hard to say, but it's a spiritual method that is in the same vein as this great monk.

Thoughts were flowing rapidly in my mind.

Gradually, Li Zhen had an idea.

The look in his eyes suddenly changed.

It fell on Guo Ju, who was standing there confused and confused as to what was going on.

He nodded with some satisfaction and said softly:

"Since three months, you have started to practice internal strength. From now on, you will practice step by step."

"As for how successful you can be in the future, it all depends on your luck."

Hearing this, Guo Ju's expression changed.

Although he is not old, the children of poor people have long been in charge of the family.

In addition, he has a good mother who is literate.

After so many years of hard education, he is far more mature than his peers.

At this time, I heard these words.

He immediately understood in his heart that Li Zhen was leaving.

After understanding that he did not want to accept him as his disciple, Guo Ju knew that such a day would come sooner or later.

It's already a great opportunity for him to learn martial arts, so he shouldn't expect too much.

But when it came to this moment, I still felt a little unspeakably disappointed.

But that's all.

More importantly, I am still grateful and reluctant to give up.

After all, after spending more than three months together, we have some feelings for each other.

His corresponding look fell into Li Zhen's eyes, making him nod in his heart.

Fortunately, it's not the ungrateful one.

This made Li Zhen somewhat satisfied.

Although he is very open-minded and doesn't care much about this thing.

Otherwise, all things would have been mad to death when they came up the mountain.

But love and justice are much better than ambition.

So ever.

Before leaving, Li Zhen prepared to give him another martial arts lesson.

With Nine Yangs, how can there be no Divine Palm?

This is not reasonable.

It just so happens that he is good at palm skills.

"Be careful, I will only use this "Dragon Subduing Divine Palm" once."

"How much you can learn depends on your luck."

With such a soft word, Li Zhen turned around gracefully.

Look inside yourself.

A Taoist base that looks like a flawless white jade stands in the sea of ​​Dantian Qi.

If you examine it carefully, you will find that it is constructed from tiny pieces of true essence.

Li Zhen had no intention of relying on the literal meaning of "foundation building".

But biased.

After his last drop of true energy turned into true essence.

Naturally, this thing was formed in the sea of ​​​​qi.

At the same time, a kind of enlightenment came to my mind.

This foundation is the foundation of the Tao.

what?

It is the belief that he has persevered along the way, and his will to martial arts.

Suddenly, Li Zhen also had some ideas about his future practice.

Faced with this situation, Li Zhen had nothing to say.

He could only say in surprise:

It’s puzzling that what he read in his previous life and what is said in this novel are all true?

Whether it is true or false remains to be further confirmed in the future.

But now Li Zhen can't wait to try what his own strength will look like after building the foundation.

Fortunately, there is no need to look for the sandbags that were beaten.

This great privilege brought to your doorstep is the best choice.

I tried to mobilize the real energy, but I couldn't see any real energy in the Dantian Qi sea responding.

Instead, there was a faint brilliance flickering on the Dao foundation.

In an instant, a ray of light flowing like mercury condensed out.

It seems that everything will evolve with Li Zhen's thoughts.

Until this moment, he suddenly realized. It turns out that this is the correct way for practitioners to open up.

As long as the Dao foundation is not destroyed, the true energy will never be exhausted.

Even if it dries up for a while, it can still draw inspiration from the outside world and regain its energy quickly.

This discovery made Li Zhen feel even more happy.

This is what he imagined a cultivator would look like.

But, how to use the true essence?

Is it like the original Zhenqi, which relies on strength and size to suppress people?

Or is there another mystery?

Li Zhen didn't know, everything had to be explored slowly.

So he raised his head and looked at the great figure at the foot of the hill, knowing that he had been seen through and could not hide, so he walked out on his own.

Hopefully, he can hold on a little longer.

I thought so with good intentions in my heart.

Li Zhen did not look back, but said calmly:

"Alright!"

"This is the first form."

How to practice the Dragon Subduing Divine Palm, who knows.

They are all fictitious things in storybooks.

But Li Zhen doesn't need to know how to practice, he only needs to know the intention and appearance of this palm technique.

Use the true essence of spiritual practice to imitate the palm techniques of martial arts.

To him, it couldn't be easier.

Even though this thing only existed in his mind at the last moment.

But at this moment, when the last word fell from Li Zhen's mouth.

Under the quiet night, there was a magnificent light and shadow rising into the sky.

"This is."

"dragon!"

The little boy opened his mouth wide.

He looked at everything that happened in front of him with indescribable surprise and admiration.

Under this situation, there was only one thought left in my mind.

Amazing!

I want to learn!

Ever since, he saw that dragon-shaped shadow leaping into the sky again.

Then, it whizzed away into the darkness below.

Along with bursts of legendary dragon roars, thousands of smoke and dust were thrown up.

"cough cough"

I waved my palm and thought about how to braid next.

Li Zhen is also constantly exploring the mystery of Zhen Yuan.

"Using True Qi in the same way as before seems to be overkill."

He raised his eyebrows lightly, gradually becoming aware of it.

True Yuan is an existence that far exceeds True Qi in nature.

By nature, he can easily provoke changes in the outside world.

Since it has such otherworldly properties, it is easy to use it crudely.

It seems that it is a bit too wasteful.

The reliefs I had seen in the Xiantian Palace flashed through my mind.

In my memory, all kinds of visions of heaven and earth flash through my mind.

A smile gradually formed on the corner of Li Zhen's mouth.

He seemed to understand somewhat how to use the true energy.

Or was it because of his past as a martial artist that he fell into a mental block.

He has already entered the path of spiritual practice, why is he still thinking about the martial arts fighting skills?

You must know that in addition to immortality, cultivation also has methods to protect the Tao.

So what is the way to protect the Tao?

Said technique.

The technique is to imitate all the natural changes of heaven and earth, wind, rain, thunder, lightning and fire.

It is used as a safety guarantee for practitioners walking on the long road of pursuit of eternal life.

And the true essence that can easily trigger changes in the outside world is the key to the magic being revealed in the human world.

It was like a flash of inspiration and enlightenment.

Li Zhen immediately understood how to use true energy as the first practitioner in this world.

The smoke and dust at the bottom of the hill have not yet dispersed.

The great privilege of being in it, life or death is unknown at this time.

The flying grass fragments and soil fill the air with a different kind of grassland smell.

For some reason, his nose felt itchy.

So, he flicked it gently between his nose.

Using a little bit of true energy as a lever, he leveraged the inspiration between the outside world and the earth.

Then, the wind started blowing.

Gust, squall, gust of wind.

All the smoke and dust were blown away in an instant, and the smell that made people's noses itchy was blown away.

Only a messy ground was exposed.

Standing was a monk in ragged clothes and a face as golden as paper.

Great deal!

"Hi~"

Guo Ju on the hill took a breath of air when he saw all this, his eyes filled with horror.

The young man from Da Zhou who was in a foreign land, had never seen such a fairy-like method.

Now all I want to ask is.

Is this also included in that Dragon Subduing Palm method?

He also wants to learn.

And don't say it's him.

Even the person below personally received the great blessing of this palm.

At this moment, I wanted to yell.

Ask Li Zhen where he learned this magic technique. It has nothing to do with martial arts.

But right now, he couldn't speak or speak.

Because Li Zhen just made a palm that was neither light nor heavy, full of true energy.

It has almost destroyed his true energy.

The current great master is just trying to contain the true energy that is running around in the body like a headless fly. It has already exhausted all his strength.

If I open my mouth to speak again, I'm afraid all my previous efforts will be wasted.

He won't die even if he dies, but he may not be able to keep his martial arts skills.

So Dashu Sheng feels very wronged in his heart now!

He had no intention of starting a fight with Li Zhen.

real! Truer than gold!

He just wanted to come out and try to negotiate with him after Li Zhen saw through the traces.

Don't go north, go back.

There is a secret that their Buddhist sect set fire to everywhere on Thursday and took great pains to cover up.

If he, a great master of martial arts who was close to the Zhou Dynasty, saw him.

Buddhism will definitely do its best to keep him here.

Dashu Sheng felt that he was thinking about Li Zhen.

Because he felt that no matter how strong Li Zhen was, he would never be able to escape and ascend to heaven when six martial arts masters took action together.

Yes, Buddhism is so arrogant.

In distant Tianzhu, Buddhism controls a country as huge as Zhou Dynasty.

After a long period of accumulation, it has a shocking background.

In order to spread Taoism and penetrate into the Central Plains.

At the same time, it is also to occupy the incense of hundreds of millions of creatures in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Buddhism has been planning for a long time and will not allow anyone to disrupt their plan.

That’s why the great excellence will appear at this time.

But what he didn't expect at all was.

Things didn't seem to be going the way he imagined.

But it unfolds in an extremely bizarre and unbelievable way.

Li Zhen had no way of knowing the great idea.

Just looking at him who seemed to have lost the ability to resist, he couldn't help but shake his head.

He secretly thought that this great monk could not help but beat him.

Turning his head, he asked Guo Ju:

"Remember?"

The young man nodded subconsciously.

Then, he shook his head quickly.

"Ah~"

Li Zhen sighed.

This is the reason why he did not teach his immortality secret or even practice it.

Don't have that talent.

Xuan Er was too lazy to write down the rest of the content. This palm alone was enough for this kid to learn for a lifetime.

He waved his hand and slapped him on the forehead.

Talent is not enough, opportunity comes.

That's all it can do.

As for what happens in the future, it depends on this guy's luck.

Looking at Guo Ju who was caught in the true meaning of his martial arts, Li Zhen raised his hand and wrote a line of writing on the ground.

He turned around and jumped off the cliff without looking back.

Carrying the great treasure, it disappeared into the light of dawn in the distance.
