The copy of the universe from the journey to the west

Chapter 298: Golden Elixir Sutra! The punishment of exterminating the soul! (asking for monthly votes)

Lord Fuqiu brought Lu Chen to the other side of Xuanyuan Hill, where there was a small hill with a square stone tablet on it.

There is a lingering Taoist rhythm, and two Taoist characters written in a flamboyant style, named: Zhuqiu.

There is a bamboo forest surrounding the hill. When the wind blows, the bamboo forest makes a rustling sound, attracting a flock of birds with colorful tails.

There is a group of bamboo houses in the bamboo forest.

Young boys and young men wearing the same style of linen clothes were either picking medicinal herbs in the bamboo forest, or wandering in the bamboo forest, or sitting together chatting and discussing philosophy. It seemed like they were in two different worlds compared to the solemnity of other places in Xuanyuan Hill.

When the clouds descended, all the men in sackcloth clothes stood up, bowed respectfully to Master Fuqiu, and called him "Ancestor".

Three more middle-aged Taoists came over and saluted to Master Fuqiu: "Master, you are back."

"Mingxiang, go make some tea."

Lord Fuqiu made the arrangements.

"Yes, Master."

One middle-aged man stood up, and the remaining two were about to follow him into the house.

Lord Fuqiu waved his hand and said, "Mingqi, Mingyun, you two don't need to serve here anymore."

The two middle-aged men were stunned for a moment, then bowed and left.

When they saw Chi Jingzi coming, they thought that the master had invited the seniors to discuss Taoism again. In the past, when the master called fellow Taoists to discuss Taoism, he would ask them to follow him and comprehend the rhythm of Taoism.

Although the saying "a stone from another mountain can be used to polish a jade" has not yet appeared, the principle is universal.

So they followed along as usual, ready to learn a thing or two.

Now it seems that it is not the case.

Mr. Fuqiu led a few people into a bamboo house. The decoration inside was quite simple. On a stone platform hung a painting made from the skin of some unknown demon or beast. There was a lonely hill painted on it, but the hill seemed to be floating in the clouds, so hazy that it was difficult to see clearly.

After Lu Chen took a look, he did not look at it in detail. This painting was not simple. It contained a space world. However, he was a guest now, so it was not convenient for him to release his divine sense to explore.

At this time, Mingxiang had already brought over the tea.

Lu Chen was a little curious. This wild world was different from the real world. Where was the tea in the primitive society of the real world?
When Mingxiang finished pouring the tea, he glanced at Lu Chen.

There is no other reason, Lu Chen is too young, especially with the patterns of witch totems visible on his body.

Obviously, he is a minor character who has not yet reached the realm of stepping into the void.

He heard from his two junior brothers outside that this time the master was not here to discuss the Dao with the great masters, and that they, the direct disciples, could not serve on the side.

How could this tiny little witch be able to stay by the side of the Master?
Do not know do not know.

But he didn't ask any questions. After pouring the tea, he left quickly and closed the door.

After the people left, Mr. Fuqiu waved his hand, and a faint light seemed to flow through the room.

Seeing this scene, Chi Jingzi opened his mouth in surprise and asked, "Mr. Fuqiu, what did this kid show you that surprised you so much?"

The bamboo forest hill of Lord Fuqiu was already protected by a formation, but Lord Fuqiu activated the formation in the room anyway.

This formation...even his spiritual power can't penetrate it!

Cang Jie on the side was also very curious, but he was not from the Qi Refining lineage, so he just wanted to listen to these secrets.

What exactly is this thing that can make Fuqiu Gong, a Heavenly Monarch-level Qi-refining master of the time, lose his composure?

Perhaps because of the influence of his double pupils, he was naturally curious about the secrets of this world, and whenever he came across any secret, he wanted to investigate it.

Mr. Fuqiu looked at Lu Chen who was standing aside. The latter was smiling but didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Master Fuqiu said, "It's a cultivation system... my immortal cultivation system!"

He repeated it for emphasis.

Chi Jingzi looked at him blankly and asked, "What... happened?"

The methods of cultivation used by the Qi Refiners are, if not extremely varied, at least they are varied.

Not to mention others, the three great Heavenly Lords born in this world - Chi Jingzi, Fuqiu Gong, and Huangdi's teacher Rong Cheng Gong - all practiced differently, not to mention the other Star Lords and True Lords, who also had differences.

The Qi Refining lineage is a practice system that casts a wide net, so it is not surprising that all kinds of monsters and demons can pop up.

Cang Jie was different. His expression became serious: "Mr. Fuqiu, are you sure it's a cultivation system, not... a method?"

"That's right!"

Master Fuqiu smiled. It was still Cangjie who understood him. If Chijingzi, a rough man, had not relied on his own tremendous luck to swallow a fire spirit and survive when he was young, and thus entered the Tao, he would never have reached his current level in this life.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Chi Jingzi, who seemed to have come to his senses a little.

He looked at Mr. Fuqiu with a different look in his eyes.

The latter didn't waste any time. With a stroke in the air, a line of text appeared.

Cang Jie took a closer look and recited aloud:

"Golden Elixir is the scripture of heaven, and the immortals of Taiqing understand it clearly.

You should be sincere and dedicated to it before you can succeed; if you keep playing with it, you will live long.

The six and one are combined and complement each other, and the bright golden light enters the Huachi.

It is called the Golden Liquid that produces Feathered Clothes, which can be transformed into anything..."

The pupils of Cangjie's four eyes contracted.

In an instant, a feeling of regret arose in my heart.

Why is he joining in the fun?

This is the business of the Qi Refiners lineage, and the birth of this brand new system that is enough to make the entire Qi Refiners lineage excited is bound to set off a huge wave!
It's not a good thing for him to be involved in this!
"Mr. Jie, how is it?" Mr. Fuqiu looked at Cangjie with a smile.

You wanted to come and see this yourself, I didn't drag you here.

“This… is good.”

Upon hearing this, Cangjie couldn't help but smile bitterly and nodded.

At this point, Fuqiu Gong and Chijingzi would definitely not let themselves go like this.

Although this is Xuanyuan Hill, this bamboo forest on the hill has been engraved with countless Taoist texts and formations by Lord Fuqiu, making it difficult to get out by oneself.

Besides, he joined the game on his own initiative, so what else is there to say?

Accept your fate!
He also glanced dimly at Lu Chen beside him. This kid had greeted him so enthusiastically just now. Could he have been plotting against him?
Chi Jingzi, who was standing aside, stared intently at the cultivation techniques in the air with his eyes, breathing so hard that sparks began to come out of his eyes. He didn't even notice that he had pulled off a small tuft of his red beard with his hand.

He turned his head suddenly and looked at Lu Chen, his face almost ferocious and said: "Boy, whose apprentice are you!"

Lord Fuqiu glanced at Chi Jingzi and said calmly, "Chi Jingzi, calm down!"

He didn't say it too harshly. After all, he was also shocked when he first saw this new practice method.

This is a major event that is enough to change the cultivation system of Qi Refiners!

Chi Jingzi took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

Master Fuqiu then looked at Lu Chen and said calmly: "There is only half of the method here... Tell me, what do you want?"

Lu Chen was stunned, then laughed.

It is better to talk to smart people in a simple way, get straight to the point, but he shook his head and said, "I don't need anything. I just have a connection with you seniors, so I offer you this half of the Dharma. What I need may not be given by you seniors."

Chi Jingzi smiled disdainfully: "There is nothing in this world that we cannot accomplish."

"Where is the throne?" Lu Chen said lightly.

Chi Jingzi was stunned for a moment, then his face turned black: "You really dare to think so, kid."

Can the throne be given by human beings?

Lu Chen smiled and said, "I was just joking, senior, please don't mind."

The cultivation method he took out was called "Tai Qing Jin Ye Dan Jing", which was obtained by Lu Chen from the gourd world. However, the entire "Tai Qing Jin Ye Dan Jing" contains too much.

He just selected a part of the inner alchemy method, combined it with his own practice experience, and after making slight improvements, he took out half of it.

He was taking a gamble. After all, although his predecessor Lie Shanqing knew about the Qi Refiners lineage, he had never heard of any inner alchemy methods that the Qi Refiners lineage had.

There are even very few external alchemy methods, and at most people only know that the Qigong practitioners are good at refining medicine.

Yes, refining medicine, not refining pills!

"Humph."

Chi Jingzi sneered: "Tell me, what do you want to take out the other half of the method." "Junior said, I don't need anything."

As he spoke, Lu Chen gathered a little more divine consciousness: "Just now, because of the tight time, I didn't have time. The other half of the method of the "Golden Liquid Pill Sutra" is here."

The word "Taiqing" is a bit sensitive, and no one knows whether it exists in this great wilderness world, so Lu Chen hid it.

Chi Jingzi absorbed it immediately, his expression was dazed for a moment, and his gaze towards Lu Chen became more complicated. Then he turned his head and nodded to Fuqiu Gong: "It's the latter half..."

He let Fuqiu Gong absorb a bit of his divine consciousness, and the latter was also shocked.

Cang Jie didn't say anything. After reading half of the "Golden Elixir Classic", he regretted it very much and didn't even consider reading the rest of the half.

Well, although he felt a little impulsive in his heart, he was no longer the fearless young man he was in his youth. This impulse could not compare to the desire to stay out of it.

This is also the reason why Chi Jingzi only condensed a little of his spiritual power to Fuqiu Gong, instead of showing him half of the method.

Just because they don’t say it doesn’t mean they don’t understand!
Chi Jingzi looked serious: "Moreover, the system is self-consistent and can be perfectly integrated with our practice methods!"

Lord Fuqiu clenched his fists and looked at Lu Chen again: "Do you really want nothing?"

"do not want!"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "I have admired you seniors for a long time, but I couldn't meet you in the past. Now that I can meet you, this is just a small token of my appreciation."

Upon hearing this, Chi Jingzi smiled instantly, patted Lu Chen on the shoulder with his big hand, and said with a satisfied smile: "Well, very good, you are very much to my taste! Don't worry, if you have any problems in the future, just come to me! I will protect you!"

Lord Fuqiu glanced at Chi Jingzi and said nothing. Instead, he said to Lu Chen, "Although you don't want anything, you also called me senior. I can't let you suffer any loss, so I will tell you a piece of news related to you."

Lu Chen asked curiously, "Is it related to the younger generation?" It was just a piece of news, and the reward was still acceptable.

"Yes, to be exact, it's news about your brother."

Duke Fuqiu said: "The Emperor has passed the sentence for your brother."

Lu Chen was stunned, and then he heard Lord Fuqiu slowly say: "The punishment of exterminating souls is Qiongqi."

"The punishment of exterminating the soul..."

Lu Chen didn't know why.

What kind of punishment is this?
Chi Jingzi was surprised and asked, "The punishment of exterminating the soul? Why is it this?"

Cang Jie's expression also changed, and he looked at Lu Chen with sympathy.

Lord Fuqiu said helplessly: "This is already a mercy from the Emperor. For your father's sake, your brother is not to be executed. But your brother is determined to die. In the past half month, he has refused to admit his mistakes. Therefore, he is sentenced to extermination."

Lu Chen quickly asked: "What is the punishment for exterminating the soul?"

He had some vague guesses in his mind.

Destroying souls... the meaning is somewhat clear.

But why does it include the word "Qiongqi"?
"In the past, Emperor Hong had a son who was not talented. He concealed his integrity and was a traitor. He loved to commit evil deeds, and the world was in chaos."

Lord Fuqiu said dimly: "This is the source of the punishment of exterminating souls, and also the chaos of the punishment of exterminating souls. And your brother's punishment of Qiongqi will be used as Qiongqi to guard the borders for the human race in the future."

Lu Chen understood immediately.

To destroy the soul means to destroy the spiritual intelligence!
“Not killing is more cruel than killing.”

Chi Jingzi shook his head slightly, but didn't say much.

Cangjie remained silent.

This kind of punishment is rare in the world, but it is indeed a chance to survive, but... it will definitely not be myself in the future.

It's just a ferocious beast without any intelligence!
After listening to Mr. Fuqiu's explanation, Lu Chen couldn't help but fall silent.

The punishment of soul destruction is also called the punishment of wild beasts.

When the human race was developing, they killed many wild beasts. Among them, the blood of four wild beasts was controlled by the human race, namely Chaos, Taotie, Qiongqi, and Taowu.

In the early days of human development, humans went through many hardships. In order to gain strength, they swallowed the blood of wild beasts, transformed themselves into wild beasts, and resisted the enemy.

However, this method has a big disadvantage, which is that one will gradually lose his or her own consciousness and turn into a real beast.

The early witchcraft system also originated from this.

The situation did not improve until humans figured out how to take the blood of wild beasts internally and apply it externally, and Suiren created the fire for humans, which could melt totem patterns into the body. Based on this, the witchcraft system was developed.

Later, swallowing the blood of wild beasts became a punishment. If there was a criminal, he would be taken to the edge of a tribe that had a grudge against humans, and then fed a mouthful of wild beast blood. The human being possessed by the will of the wild beast would instantly transform into a wild beast and completely destroy the hostile tribe, or... be killed themselves.

However, this kind of punishment has gradually become less common since Taihao proclaimed himself emperor and the human race established its position as the dominant power.

This punishment will basically not be used on people who have not committed serious crimes.

What is currently recorded by the human race is still Hundun, the untalented son of Emperor Hong as mentioned by Lord Fuqiu.

That was when Shennong occupied the world. A branch tribe of Taihao refused to accept Shennong's rule and launched a rebellion. Shennong was furious and punished their leader with the Chaos Punishment, turning him into a Chaos Beast. The tribe perished together with a group of innate gods and demons who also refused to accept Shennong's rule!

It is worth mentioning that Dahong, one of the four ministers under Huangdi, was a descendant of the Emperor Hong clan that was destroyed by Shennong clan!

Although he was born in the Kuiwei tribe, the second generation Yan Emperor Kuiwei once married the daughter of Emperor Hong. The tribe that Dahong was born in was the inheritance of that branch!

Although he had only met Shaohao Zhi once, Lu Chen felt a little uncomfortable when he heard that he would face the punishment of soul extermination.

"Can this punishment be changed?" Lu Chen asked after thinking for a moment.

Mr. Fuqiu shook his head slightly.

Chi Jingzi also said: "Impossible! This is the decree issued by the Emperor."

Cang Jie on the side also said: "This is the best punishment for Shaohao Zhi. After all, he refused to admit his mistakes. The other eighty sworn brothers of Chi You, except Shaohao Zhi and those who died on the battlefield, were sentenced to beheading and exterminating their souls."

Lieshanyou has now been stripped of the name of Lieshan and given the insulting title of "Chi".

In Taoist text, the word "Chi" resembles the shape of a bug biting a toe.

Meaning insect!
This is a derogatory term used by the winner to refer to the loser.

Your rebellion is like a bug biting my toes to me, how ridiculous is that? !
Lu Chen was silent for a moment and sighed slightly.

My cheap brother is so arrogant that he would rather die than bow his head!

However, he was already doing justice to his original self by asking just one question.

Now he is still very confused about his future, and can do nothing to help his cheap brother's fate.

Fuqiu Gong glanced at Cangjie and stroked his beard: "Everyone has his own destiny. It is rumored that the first generation of warriors of the human race appeared after swallowing the blood of wild beasts. Perhaps your brother can regain his sanity."

Cang Jie shook his head: "Those who swallowed the blood of wild beasts and survived and kept their sanity were basically ordinary wild beasts that swallowed docile monsters. The four fierce beasts are the most fierce of all wild beasts. From ancient times to the present, no one has swallowed the blood of fierce beasts and still kept his sanity."

Lu Chen's eyes flickered, but he didn't ask any further questions.

Lord Fuqiu also nodded, without saying much, and turned to Lu Chen.

"This set of techniques is very useful to the Qi Refiner lineage. We can ensure your safety."

Lord Fuqiu thought for a moment, and then said to Cangjie: "I believe Lord Jie can also help me a little."

Cangjie thought for a moment and nodded.

Does he have a choice?
Moreover, he also felt that Lu Chen could not die.

Shaohao Zhi was so stubborn, but Huangdi didn't kill him, which meant that Huangdi still had friendship for Shaohao Zhi. The punishment of exterminating Shaohao Zhi was just because Shaohao Zhi refused to bow his head.

And Lie Shanqing lowered his head so quickly, and he was a Qi Refiner, so the possibility of Huangdi killing him would be very small.

In the past, Emperor Huangdi never showed mercy to his enemies.

But the overall situation is still undecided.

Now that Huangdi had officially assumed the title of emperor, he had to spread his benevolence and virtue and win the hearts of the people.

"Thank you, Lord Jie."

Lu Chen thanked him.

He still believed in Cangjie's character...it was useless not to believe!

Could he hold the Taibai Divine Sword against Cangjie's neck and threaten him?
What he is doing now is always gambling!
So, he must believe it!

Cang Jie smiled and said, "I have also seen your secret method. I won't say much. I have something else to do in my mansion, so I won't stay any longer. I'll take my leave now."

Cang Jie didn't plan to stay any longer. If he continued, he was afraid that he would become too close to the Qi Refiners.

Lord Fuqiu: "Mr. Jie, please do as you please."

It’s all right now. With Cangjie’s help, their possibility of protecting Lu Chen has greatly increased.
