The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Chapter 163 The Birth and Death of Gods and Demons

Fang Xun only felt regret for a moment, then he put aside all distracting thoughts in his mind and began to formally practice "The Power of Vajra".

He was seen sitting cross-legged, and moved by the portraits of the six Vajra Patriarchs, a series of Dharma images flashed through his mind.

The self-image, the image of a person, the image of a long-lived person, the image of the horse king, the image of the monkey king, the image of the sparrow mother, the image of the male pig, the image of the divine fish, the image of a half-lion person, the image of the great Sumeru, the image of the great freedom, the image of the upside-down lotus.
The thirty-two aspects of Vajra flashed through one’s mind like a kaleidoscope.

Fang Xun already had a solid foundation, and after being enlightened by Monk Yu's heart lamp, he gained new insights into the other's lifelong wisdom.

Within a short period of time, all thirty-two aspects were accomplished and perfected.

Then the thirty-two seemed to be running out of steam, and began to dissipate one by one, and then reappear one by one, and slowly the thirty-two became sixteen, sixteen became eight, eight became four, and four became two.
Finally, the two aspects merge into a 'unity of all beings' that is like me but not me, like him but not him.

At this stage, one needs to understand one’s original mind and reflect on the true self.

Appearance is created by the mind, and the true appearance is closely related to each person's mind and nature. It is not necessary to comprehend the true appearance of Buddhism.

Although Fang Xun is not a monk, he has communicated with many virtuous monks in the martial arts hall for a long time and has gained some insights into Buddhism, which does not prevent him from walking his own path.

This is the case with Lu Jian. He does not understand Buddhism and Zen, but it does not prevent him from realizing his own way, which is to be open to all things and embrace everything.

Fang Xun is the same, temporarily stuck at this step.

But it’s not that he can’t cross it, but he is thinking about what his true self should be.

The portraits of the six Vajra Patriarchs were right in front of him, and he had enough references.

In reality, Fang Xun's body energy was unpredictable, and suddenly he burst out with an aura that looked down on everyone and was the only one in the world.

Dongfang Que and Yan Ming, who lived in the same attic with him, were immediately alarmed.

The two were stunned for a moment, and were wondering what kind of kung fu Xun Ge was practicing, when suddenly his aura changed again, becoming round and bright.

But the next moment, a sense of emptiness and silence arose.

The next moment, it became ordinary.

The true forms of the six Vajra Patriarchs flowed through Fang Xun one by one, leaving Dongfang Que and Yan Ming stunned.

Yan Ming said uncertainly: "Xun brother, this won't cause any problems, right?"

After hearing this, a trace of worry appeared on Dongfang Que's face. It was really that the other party's aura was too chaotic, with many conflicting auras combined in one body. There was something wrong no matter how you looked at it.

Just when he was about to say something, suddenly the energy in Fang Xun's room changed again and finally stabilized.

The two of them only felt a breath of yin and yang, and a vibrant atmosphere arising spontaneously, but immediately, a wave of destruction rose up, like the devil from hell descending into the world.

Creation and destruction immediately became entangled with each other. It was not a conflict or opposition, but destruction was hidden in vitality, and vitality was bred in destruction, and they restrained and promoted each other.

But the Qi had stabilized, allowing both of them to breathe a sigh of relief.

"It turns out that Brother Xun is not possessed, but has made progress."

After a long while, creation and destruction finally returned to normal, as if returning to nature at this moment.

'The birth and death of gods and demons, it's done!'

Inside the room, Fang Xun opened his eyes, his mission accomplished.

Gods and demons are born and die, creation and destruction coexist. God is me, and demon is me. God and demons become one and return to being sentient beings.

After calming down, he also sensed the two auras outside the door. They were Dongfang Que and Yan Ming. He immediately called out to them.

"come in."

Hearing Fang Xun's voice, the two of them pushed open the door and went in. When they saw him again, they were stunned again.

At this moment, Fang Xun was unremarkable, just like an ordinary person who had never practiced kung fu.

Fang Xun took a long breath, stood up and said with a smile: "You are here just in time, Yan Ming, when will you be able to break through?"

Yan Ming immediately replied: "The ancestral acupoint at the center of the eyebrows is active. It will be active in the next few days. A breakthrough will be achieved in five days at most!"

Fang Xun nodded: "Okay, after you have a breakthrough, go out with Dongfang Que."

"Brother Xun, what's the matter?" Dongfang Que asked directly.

He did not answer immediately, but walked to the desk and spread out a map. The two of them looked at it and saw that it was a map of Jiangzhou, with all the prefectures and counties clearly marked on it.

In addition, Fang Xun specifically marked a mountain village located deep in the Corridor Mountains - Black Wind Village.

There are four leaders in the Black Wind Village, all of them are masters in the Awakening Realm.

He pointed at the Black Wind Village and said to the two, "Some members of the Three Moons Hall have secretly transported a large amount of pig iron and food to the Black Wind Village in the past ten days."

Dongfang Que and Yan Ming were stunned for a moment after hearing this, feeling extremely strange.

"There's nothing surprising about the food, but why is there pig iron? This doesn't make sense. Even if Black Wind Village wants to make its own weapons or supply them to other places, they should use refined steel ingots instead of pig iron."

Fang Xun had been running around and killing people in the past few days. In addition to guiding Yu Jiaolong, he also obtained a lot of intelligence.

He also felt puzzled by this. It was normal for large quantities of materials to be exchanged within Sanyuetang.

It is also normal to transport some supplies to make swords, weapons, bows and crossbows.

But transporting a pile of pig iron is very abnormal, because it doesn't make sense from the perspective of efficiency. Since pig iron can be transported in large quantities, why not directly transport refined steel ingots?

It's impossible to transport it to the destination and then spend time and effort to refine it again, right?

In the territory of Daxuan, pig iron is generally used to make farm tools and some daily civilian products. No one will use pig iron to make weapons.

Whether it is forging weapons or practicing some skills such as the ancient magic cult's "Iron Chewing Technique" that requires absorbing the essence of gold and iron, pig iron will not be used because it is time-consuming and laborious.

This is totally unnecessary.

It can't be possible that Sanyuetang is planning to wholesale agricultural tools on a large scale and become a new generation of agricultural machinery giant?

At this time, Dongfang Que also discovered a new suspicious point.

"Brother Xun, look, if you go west from Black Wind Village for more than 2,000 miles, you will reach Chunyang Prefecture. Chunyang Prefecture is located at the border of Jiangzhou, adjacent to the Xiangyun Mountains of Xiangzhou, and is rich in iron ore. Why does Sanyuetang collect pig iron from other prefectures instead of transporting it directly from Chunyang Prefecture, the iron ore supply base of Jiangzhou?"

Dongfang Que believed that with the power of Sanyuetang, it would not be difficult to do this, but why did he choose to go far away?
Fang Xun shook his head and spread his hands, saying: "We'll have to ask the leaders of Sanyue Hall. After Yan Ming's breakthrough and enlightenment have been consolidated, you two can go to Black Wind Village.

There is no need to go too deep, just keep an eye on the village from a distance to see if the batch of pig iron will be transported to another place again. If so, the movement of so much pig iron will definitely cause a lot of noise.

You guys just follow quietly and see where it's going. You only need to keep an eye on it for a month. After a month, no matter what the result is, you must come back immediately. Remember, you must not alert the enemy. If you notice something wrong, give up the mission immediately!"

Fang Xun once learned from Zhao Feiyan that the Sanyuetang Society would have a big action in the near future, but he didn't know what it was specifically.

He had no idea what the enemy was going to do or when they would attack, and he always felt very uneasy.

Once this mysterious organization plans something, it will at least affect the entire Jiangzhou area.

Fang Xun will not wait passively until something happens and affects him before taking action, but chooses to take the initiative!

At the same time, when Fang Xun was giving tasks to Dongfang Que and Yan Ming.

Eight thousand miles away, in the Guangling Prefecture Film Market Square located in the belly of the mountain.

A masked figure in black was walking between the stalls and suddenly stopped when passing by a stall.

The owner of this stall also covered his face, and the man in black didn't even look at the stall owner, his eyes were staring straight at a secret book on the stall.

Bloody Wind Blade

"Blood Path Technique, Blood Demon Path?!"

The man in black couldn't help but let out a low cry, and the stall owner's face suddenly changed and he scolded: "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. This is the Blood Dao technique, but who said that all the Blood Dao techniques in the world come from the Blood Demon Dao?"

The man in black just sneered disdainfully: "Forget it, we are all old hands. You can fool the rookies with these words, but you want to fool me?

I just happen to know that if you use human blood to practice this "Blood Demon Yin Wind Blade", you can quickly improve your skills. If it's not the Blood Demon Dao, then what is it?"

He did not lower his voice when he spoke, and immediately everyone nearby looked over, looking at the stall owner with different thoughts.

Some are calm, some are disdainful, some hate
And in some people’s hearts, it’s greed!
The Blood Path technique was once popular in the ancient era of the Human Emperor.

It is rumored that before the era of the Human Emperor, our ancestors were still working hard in the tribal era, and civilization was far from being as prosperous as it is now, and the same was true for martial arts.

At that time, there were many ferocious wild beasts, many of which had special powers. The lions and tigers we have today were just weak little white rabbits in front of these strange beasts.

The alien beasts seriously threatened the stability of human tribes, large and small. A powerful alien beast could easily destroy a small tribe.

However, there were ancient sages who killed strange beasts, took their essence and blood, and absorbed the essence and blood of the strange beasts to increase their strength. From this, they developed the Qi and Blood Martial Arts that strengthened Qi and blood and enhanced strength, and no longer allowed strange beasts to slaughter them.

Once everyone knows that exotic beasts can be eaten, there is nothing else to do.
Until the era of the Human Emperor, the exotic beasts in the world had become as precious as the giant pandas in Fang Xun's previous life, and had become rare and precious animals.

Just like Old Man Mo’s Iron-winged Cloud Eagle, it can only be seen occasionally nowadays, and only the big sects can keep a few of them in captivity.

Due to the scarcity of exotic beast essence and blood, an important resource for cultivation, the Qi and Blood Martial Arts developed into the current Qi Martial Arts.

But not everyone gave up on Qi and blood martial arts. Now that the exotic beasts were gone, they turned their attention to livestock that could only be kept in captivity. Although the effect was far inferior to the blood and essence of exotic beasts, at least they could maintain their practice.

But not everyone is like this. Some people also focus on humans, killing people and taking their blood to practice martial arts. This is the root of the Blood Demonic Way.

Most of the blood-based skills that appear in the martial arts world today come from the Blood Demonic Path.

Absorbing warriors' essence and blood to practice martial arts, although the probability of going astray increases exponentially, even other major magic sects are quite disdainful of it.

However, the progress is so fast that the ordinary martial artists can become much stronger in a short period of time.

The big martial arts sects disdain to practice, but it is different for the martial artists at the bottom. There are many people in the world who are willing to sell out everything for strength.

Not everyone is as talented as Fang Xun, Jian Wuyi and Yu Jiaolong. After all, mediocre people make up the vast majority of people in the world.

Ordinary martial artists would regard it as a treasure if they obtained a martial arts book of the same level as the gold-based "Song of the Quanzhen Dao".

Not to mention that it is a martial art from the Thirty-Six Sect, even if this Thirty-Six Sect is the Blood Demon Sect.

After noticing the commotion at the stall, some people in the movie market had already started to make plans.

The stall owner seemed to have noticed something was wrong and yelled, "Get lost! Stop talking nonsense, do you think I'm practicing the evil Blood Demonic Technique?"

The man in black just smiled for a while: "Haha, although we, a small family, don't have the ability to hide the abnormality of qi and blood, it is not absolute. Who knows, maybe you have found a way to hide it?"

"Humph! I don't even want to talk to you!"

The stall owner seemed to be angry and embarrassed, but when he saw more and more people gathered around, he said no more, simply packed up his stall and hurriedly left the film market.

The crowd of onlookers in the square soon dispersed, but soon after, several figures also hurriedly left the film market.

In the woods, the stall owner seemed to have sensed the disaster and ran all the way, wanting to get into the city as soon as possible.

But the figures behind him were quickly closing the distance with him.

"Humph! You all want this thing, right? Divide it among yourselves!"

The stall owner shouted angrily and threw the secret book backwards. One of them caught it immediately. He took a look at the name and it was "Blood Evil Yin Wind Blade"!
But before he could start to rejoice, a strong wind blew over him.

"Bring it to me!"

All of a sudden, several people stopped chasing the stall owner, and started fighting for the secret book.

Soon, several more corpses were seen on the ground. The only person standing had three big wounds on his body, and his clothes were stained red.

But looking at the "Blood Evil Yin Wind Blade" in his hand, he couldn't hold back the joy in his eyes, and his breathing became rapid.

"Humph!

I don't care if this is the evil skill of the Blood Demon Dao or not. As long as it can enhance my strength, it is a good skill. If I can leave my name on the Dragon and Phoenix List, it will be worth dying for!"

Coincidentally, what happened in Guangling Prefecture Film Market was not an isolated case, but was also happening in many other places in Jiangzhou.

Perhaps the characters, scenes, and processes are all different, but the cause is the same—they come from the Blood Demonic Path’s techniques.
