The copy of the universe from the journey to the west

Chapter 156: Bigger and Smaller, Three Hole Theory (asking for monthly ticket)
The Yin and Yang realm, within the territory of Lantian.

Kou Qianzhi rushed over after dealing with matters in Chang'an.

Kou Qianzhi casually smashed several blood-thirsty ghosts into pieces. Looking at the ghosts scattered all over the mountains, he frowned and asked, "That Lantian City God is actually dead?"

Based on Kou Qianzhi's understanding of the Lantian City God, this madman will never let go of any ghost in his territory in order to advance to his own position as a god.

There are only two ways to be promoted to the position of god. One is to obtain incense. The more believers there are, the more incense will be given, which will increase the power of the position of god. However, this method is mostly used by famous sects.

For example, the Tianshi Dao, Shangqing Sect, Lingbao Sect and those guys in Buddhism.

Buddhism, in particular, loves to preach because the more believers there are, the greater the blessing given to their status as gods.

In addition, it absorbs the power of ghosts.

The former is in great need of believers, but will be controlled by them.

Although the latter will not have this problem, the twisted thinking of the ghost will slowly infect the person holding the throne and gradually make him crazy.

The City God of Lantian belongs to the latter. Since he is not from a big sect, he does not have the blessing of the power of incense and can only go down one path to the end.

The reason why the City God of Lantian is what he is today is, firstly, that he is smart and never interferes in matters outside of Lantian, and secondly, that he has lived too long and has a large number of ghosts attached to him.

Every generation of people in power will naturally not provoke a person who abides by the rules and is almost immortal.

The reason Kou Qianzhi came here this time was because the City God of Lantian broke the rules.

Not only did he steal the souls of the Wei soldiers that belonged to him, he even sent ghost messengers out of the Yin and Yang realm to kill many lives with his own hands.

This was something Kou Qianzhi could not tolerate, so he thought about coming over to teach the City God of Lantian a lesson.

However, he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived, he saw ghosts appearing in Lantian, where there shouldn't be any scattered ghosts.

There is only one possibility, the City God of Lantian is dead!

"Who killed him?"

Kou Qianzhi looked towards the dark Zhongnan Mountains in the distance, his brows furrowed.

"Could it be that after I went to Mount Zhongnan, I affected Sun Che down there?"

Kou Qianzhi couldn't figure it out, but he didn't plan to go to Mount Zhongnan to take a look.

These people from the Louguan Sect can be bullied in the world of the living, but it is best not to provoke them in the world of Yin and Yang.

These ancestors of the Louguan School have all become crazy.

The more rational a person is, the crazier he will become than an ordinary person after he goes crazy!
"It's a good thing that the crazy Lantian City God is dead. With one less City God, I can also arrange more manpower here."

After thinking for a moment, Kou Qianzhi turned and left.

……

world.

When Lu Chen came out of the Yin-Yang Realm, the heavy rain had stopped and half of the sun's face had begun to rise in the sky.

Orange-red clouds spread across the east, a cool breeze blew, and water droplets on the leaves quietly slid down, as if all the dust between heaven and earth had been cleared away.

Lu Chen stood on the hillside in the distance, looking at Wangjia Village.

The sun gradually spread across the earth, and the full picture of Wangjia Village appeared in front of Lu Chen.

Although the flames have died down, the place has become a complete ruin.

After looking for a while, Lu Chen did not turn around, and asked calmly: "Did you absorb the souls of Wang Daniu and Wang Erhua last night?"

He did not see the bodies and souls of Da Niu, Er Hua and others in Wangjia Village and Yin Yang Dharma Realm.

The human face replied, "Replying to the Lord, no."

Lu Chen nodded.

This is not really a big surprise.

Lu Chen has now regained his sanity. Thinking carefully, there were only a dozen Hun cavalrymen last night.

It is possible to complete the massacre in Wangjia Village, but it is not necessarily possible to kill all the people.

Especially at night, the efficiency of killing is even lower.

Why do they set fires when they kill people at night?

Because you can see more living people in the dark.

Although Wangjia Village is not big, it has a population of two to three hundred people.

Even if there were ghosts and monsters killing later, it was not certain that everyone could be killed.

Lu Chen remembered what Wang Hu had told him, that when there was war, the people in the village would go up the mountain to avoid the disaster.

He then stood up and headed in the direction that Wang Hu had pointed to him.

It didn't take long for Lu Chen to find traces of someone passing by.

His spiritual thoughts were released instantly, and not long after, Lu Chen discovered dozens of figures in a hidden valley.

Among them, the auras of Da Niu, Er Hua and others are also there.

Lu Chen didn't hesitate and flew over directly.

It didn't take long before we reached the top of the mountain above the col.

Looking down, the valley here is surrounded by mountains on all sides, with only a few rugged paths accessible. It can be said to be hidden until now, and cannot be discovered unless you need to go up the mountain all year round.

In the valley, there are many caves, and there are stone stairs between the caves. They appear to be man-made and quite old. It is obvious that the people of Wangjia Village started to develop this place a long time ago.

But at this time, the people of Wangjia Village did not even fill up all these caves.

Among the remaining people from Wangjia Village, Lu Chen saw Wang Daniu, the temporary leader. His arm seemed to be injured and was hung with a coarse cloth.

He looked a little tired, but he was still forcing himself to be alert and directing the villagers to do things.

Erhua was following beside him, but she was very depressed at this moment, and Lu Chen knew why.

Because her brother, Wang Dashu died.

The others were mostly teenagers, with a few women and no elderly people at all.

I think when they were escaping, these young people were arranged to escape first.

Lu Chen did not show up, he just silently sent out a few rays of light.

With this spell, all the injuries of the people in the village will be healed within today.

If nothing unexpected happens, the remaining people in Wangjia Village will be unlikely to get sick in the second half of their lives.

Afterwards, Lu Chen transmitted a bit of divine thought into Wang Daniu's mind.

That was the martial arts technique he passed on to Wang Hu.

Wang Daniu's qualifications are not as good as Wang Hu's, but as he can practice martial arts, his chances of surviving in this chaotic world will be greater.

Wang Daniu was stunned for a moment, then knelt down and kowtowed. Lu Chen's expression did not change much, and naturally he did not show up.

"If you can survive, then continue to live. There is always hope as long as you are alive."

Afterwards, Lu Chen walked around the valley and killed some harmful poisonous snakes, insects, and ferocious beasts.

He left a few paper figures to guard Wangjia Village and then turned and left.

It is impossible for him to guard Wangjia Village here.

Being able to achieve this is the best that Lu Chen can do.

It can be regarded as repaying Wang Hu's kindness in giving him a meal.

Afterwards, Lu Chen carried the prepared alchemy furnace and luggage on his back, found a barren mountain, opened up a temporary cave on the mountain wall, and began to refine the alchemy furnace.

The alchemy furnace doesn't have many functions, so it's not a big deal for Lu Chen to keep dragging it on. He plans to leave a magic seed of the alchemy furnace that can make it bigger or smaller.

This way he can carry it with him.

However, when it comes to refining equipment, Lu Chen has only learned the theory and has not put it into practice, especially making some improvements to this already-formed magical weapon.

The human-faced pine kept persuading Lu Chen not to do useless work: "The improvement of magic tools requires a craftsman to study for a long time. For example, there are not many descendants of the Luban family and the Mo family who can do it."

The human face lives longer and knows more.

Naturally, I know that refining equipment is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

"How do you know it won't work if you don't try?"

Lu Chen didn't care.

If it works, then he won't have to look for a furnace anymore, but if it doesn't work, then he won't improve it and will just build one when he has time.

It's not his style not to even try.

Seeing this, Ren Liansong stopped trying to persuade him and instead gave Lu Chen some advice.

He has a lot of knowledge in his memory, and thousands of years of experience and knowledge have also inspired Lu Chen a lot.

In addition, Lu Chen himself has strong ability to accept and do things.

In just less than a day, Lu Chen successfully learned the technique of increasing size and shrinkage, and spent another half a day to successfully integrate it with the alchemy furnace.

"Small!"

Lu Chen pointed at the alchemy furnace, and it instantly shrank a circle, but it was still the size of a human head. "Smaller!"

Lu Chen continued to urge it, and the alchemy furnace changed rapidly.

After a while, it became the size of an adult's palm and then stopped changing.

“It’s still a little disappointing.”

Lu Chen shook his head, looking somewhat dissatisfied.

It would be more convenient if it could be sized like a pendant.

It is the size of a human palm and when hung on the waist, it lacks aesthetic appeal.

However, he did not look at the person floating beside him who was looking at him with a questioning look on his face.

"Lord God, this is actually pretty good."

Renmiansong said with some entanglement.

In less than two days, you have learned a completely new spell from scratch. Even the means of this spell are almost surpassing magic and reaching the level of supernatural powers. Is this not enough?
That’s not all, you also applied this spell to magical instruments, and successfully transformed a person-high alchemy furnace into one the size of a palm.

Not satisfied yet!

I'm afraid that even if Lu Ban were still alive or Mo Zi were reborn, they would only be able to achieve this much!

Is this the world of geniuses!?

The mentality of the person with the loose face is a bit broken.

The experiences of the past two days really hit him hard.

Whether Lu Chen was learning spells or perfectly integrating spells with magic tools, it seemed that there was no bottleneck at all.

When encountering a problem, he frowned, pondered for a few breaths, and then he instantly thought of a solution.

And that kind of method, even for someone like him who is comparable to modern intelligent AI, found it a little unbelievable.

How did it succeed?
This is not common sense!

"No wonder, even after practicing for thousands of years, I still lost to him."

Ren Liansong couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It was not surprising to be defeated by such a monster. I even felt a little happy in my heart.

An existence like Lu Chen, who is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, should become an immortal and his name will be passed down through the ages!

"No, I seem to have an extra storage device."

Suddenly, Lu Chen's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have thought of something. He took his luggage and put it into the furnace.

“Sure enough, it works!”

Lu Chen waved his fist violently, looking excited.

The human face was loose: "???"

Meson space?

No, isn't it the technique of enlarging or shrinking that you only use on the alchemy furnace?

How can these gifts be made smaller?

This is no longer a simple spell of enlargement or reduction.

This involves the mysteries of the heaven, earth and universe!
You are practicing supernatural powers of all sizes, right?

Ren Liansong's mentality completely collapsed!
The worldview has been shattered beyond all recognition.

He simply couldn't understand why this happened. He also knew how to make himself smaller or bigger!
But it can only become smaller or bigger!

For example, if you want to make your body bigger or smaller, unless you also give your clothes the ability to grow or shrink, otherwise, as soon as your body gets bigger, things like clothes bursting are bound to happen.

"loose."

Lu Chen's excitement only lasted for a short time. After packing his luggage and other things, he shouted.

"Lord God." The man with the face immediately came back to his senses.

"Take a look at this pill recipe and see if it is the same as the Seven Heart Pill you know."

Lu Chen handed the recipe of the Seven Heart Pill that he found from Nan Changsheng's residence to Ren Liansong.

This pill recipe has been broken into pieces, with many signs of insect infestation and corrosion around it, so some key parts have disappeared.

I could only see some general medicinal materials and the clear "——relatives and blood relations——put them in order, seven people become one, seven hearts become one."

'——' is the missing part.

Lu Chen also knew why Nan Changsheng was able to refine pills like "Heart Pill" and "Blood Pill".

Judging from this incomplete pill recipe, it means that seven people need to be completely refined.

As for why the heart had to be dug out, it was because of the name of the "Seven Heart Pills".

After reading the recipe of Songjiang Pill, the man with human face said, "Lord God, according to what is said above, after swallowing the Seven Heart Pill, one can be immortal and live freely for billions of years. It seems that this is the same as the Seven Heart Pill I know, but... "

Then, he asked with some doubt: "The Seven Heart Pill is a legacy of Lord Shenbao. It is impossible for a human to refine the pill. Is there something wrong with it?"

"correct."

Lu Chen smiled.

Indeed, the Seven Heart Pill is not made from humans, and the person written on it is not a human either.

But it is an innate creature!

It’s Calabash Brothers!

Is Calabash Brothers a human?

Born from a gourd, it is definitely a congenital creature.

Without the most fundamental concepts, the thinking is naturally wrong from the very beginning.

Ren Liansong was puzzled. Lu Chen knew the inside story, but he didn't.

"The divine elixir left by Lord Shenbao is actually made from human materials?"

The person who received Lu Chen's affirmation looked a little unacceptable.

Lu Chen shook his head: "It's not what you think it is, but the name of the main ingredient is missing. The name of the ingredient has some metaphors, which may lead to misunderstandings. That's why you think it's made of human hearts."

The man with the human face heaved a sigh of relief: "That's more like it. I was wondering how could the Three Cave Lord use humans as pills?"

"Mr. Sandong?"

Lu Chen's expression changed: "What is the Three Cave Lords?"

The man with the face loose said indifferently: "It is said in the "Three Emperors Classic" that the Yellow Emperor said: The Three Emperors are the respected gods of the Three Caves and the ancestral spirit of Dayou. The Three Caves means "cave" and "tong", which means to understand the mysteries and the wonders. There are three of them, so they are called the Three Caves. The respected gods of the Three Caves are Tianbaojun, who is in charge of the true cave, Lingbaojun, who is in charge of the mysteries of the cave, and Shenbaojun, who is in charge of the gods of the cave. They can all be mortals and saints, and they all have the same Mahayana, so they are named caves. This is what I learned from many Taoist classics in the past few years. According to my own understanding, I respectfully call them the Three Cave Lords. Even if the Three Cave Lords are not the real three emperors of ancient times, they feel like gods or immortals."

Lu Chen's tone was strange: "So, this is a concept you created yourself?"

The man with the face said, "That's right. I've been idle these days, so I reorganized the system I know and found that no matter which Dao vein is currently, it can actually be divided into these three caves. Well, I also think that Li Er is likely to have inherited the legacy of Lord Shenbao, and even inherited the throne left by Lord Shenbao."

Ren Liansong spoke very casually, and did not have much respect for Laozi, the founder of Taoism, so he just called him by his full name.

However, this is normal. He was a cultivator in the early Zhou Dynasty. Laozi was not even born at that time. Naturally, he did not need to be too flattering to a younger generation.

Moreover, it is very normal to create a Taoist theory of your own.

In today's Taoist lineage, many people are creating their own doctrines and theories.

But Lu Chen remained silent for a while after listening.

The Three Caves Theory is not surprising in the modern world, and it is even an outdated theory. Taoism in the modern world has already clarified the status of the Three Pure Ones.

However, in this era, the Three Holes Theory is not mainstream.

The so-called Three Pure Ones in the modern world and the Three True Ones in the world of Journey to the West do not exist in this world.

Instead, based on the "Trinity" theory left by Lao Tzu, three gods were differentiated.

For example, the Louguan Sect worships Laojun as its ancestor, so they belong to the lineage of Shenbaojun, and the supreme god they worship is Taishang Laojun, which is the same as the Tianshi Dao.

However, there are some differences in some lineages such as the Shangqing School and the Lingbao School. Some of them worship Yuanshi Tianzun, and some worship Lingbao Tianzun.

But no matter which one it is, it actually involves choosing a supreme god to worship.

However, there are almost no people who put the three together and regard them as the supreme god.

Each family worships its own gods without exception. The theory of the Three Caves is only recorded in ancient books, such as the "Three Emperors Classic". Although the "Taiping Jing" also mentions the Three Caves theory, there is no need to explain what the essence of the "Taiping Jing" is.

Since the defeat of the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the late Han Dynasty, various Taoist sects have labeled the Taiping Jing as treasonous. Although some people have borrowed from its statements, most of them are just a few words, and the source is deliberately blurred.

Therefore, most of the major Taoist lineages today do not know how many volumes of the Taiping Jing actually exist.

Although there are still many volumes of "Taiping Jing" scriptures circulated among the people, most of them are about talismans and medicine. There may be some genuine scriptures left, but no one knows how many times they have been remade, so it is unknown whether they are true or not.

The "Three Emperors Classic" is easier to say. There are various rumors that both the "Small Three Emperors Classic" and the "Great Three Emperors Classic" are fake. Bao Taixuan used the name of ancient times and said that it was taught by an immortal, but in fact he wrote it himself and later passed it on to his apprentice Ge Hong. But with the death of Ge Hong, the "Three Emperors Classic" was no longer passed down.

But now, Ren Liansong was casually picking up "Three Emperors Classic" and "Taiping Jing", two scriptures that are almost lost nowadays, and explaining them very clearly.

Lu Chen was naturally very surprised.
