Cultivation starts from being a ghost

Chapter 538
The distance between Wonju Island and Yizhou Island is [-] miles. Because the strait in the middle is in the shape of a "ji", there are basically no big storms and waves between the islands. Sea ships travel frequently between the islands. Pirates are excluded, even if the foundation is built. Even the monks dared to take the plunge.

But there are exceptions, every 250-[-] years, there will be some abnormal situations, the originally calm strait will be like a waking prehistoric beast, it will appear very violent, even a large treasure ship will be in danger of capsizing, and it is here In the harsh environment of raging winds and huge waves, hundreds of monks are fighting.

The two parties who made the move knew that they were monks from Zhongzhou and Yingzhou without asking. Both of them sent people to enter the secret realm of the Black Dragon, but they met at sea, so the enemies were extremely jealous when they met.

Qin Chuan was responding to the frenzied attack of a Jindan cultivator while sensing the changes in the surrounding Qi. He was very interested in knowing what would happen when two worlds with different laws converged.

Suddenly there was a muffled sound of thunder in the high-altitude clouds, and then the lightning arc lit up the gloomy sky. There was an earth-shattering "click", and the void was torn apart by an extremely powerful purple lightning, and then " "Zizi" is similar to the sound of high voltage discharge.

With such an obvious sign, everyone tacitly let go of their hands and opened a distance of two or three hundred feet to face each other.

"Crack!" There was another loud noise, this time it was different from just now, there was a huge rolling thunder flying down, this situation reminded Qin Chuan of the situation he encountered when he was off the coast of Zhongzhou.

"It's almost time, take out your tokens!" An old man at the transformation stage in Yingzhou said loudly, and nearly a hundred young monks each took out a simple token.

No need to remind, Qin Chuan and others will also take out the tokens.

"How come you also have the Black Dragon Token?" the old man in the transformation stage asked loudly in surprise.

"Hmph, is it difficult to make a mere Black Dragon Token?" Tang Xuan said coldly.

"The lost token fell into your hands. Do you think it would be useful to forge a few similar tokens?"

"Sit in the well and watch the sky! You'll know after a while whether it's useful or not!"

While the two were talking, a white light suddenly covered one person, and that person disappeared in the void of lightning and thunder in a blink of an eye, followed by the second person, and the third person...

Because Qin Chuan remained awake during the teleportation, he could clearly perceive the process of staying in a certain space for a while, and was then teleported to the sky above a forest.

When his figure was falling sharply, he performed a lightness technique and finally stood on the branch of a big tree.

First, I scanned the surroundings, and there was no living thing within a thousand feet, except for the rustling of leaves, the woods were quiet.

There was no danger. He was about to take a closer look at the environment here when he suddenly felt his legs were entangled by something. Looking down, it turned out that the tree under his feet was stretching its branches to climb towards his upper body.

Fuck, I met a psychic tree when I first came in, it can't be such a coincidence, can it?
Facts have proved that this is not a coincidence, all the surrounding trees are waving their branches and converging towards him.

Before he could think about it, he set up his palm as a knife, cut off the branches on his feet, and then jumped up, those branches were still waving and swaying, like water plants swaying at the bottom of the river, very strange.

Qin Chuan sensed that his body was changing quietly, and he had no time to pay attention to what was going on with these trees. With a flash of light, he quickly came to the top of a nearby peak, scanned the surroundings again, and let the dark night water unicorn and the Wandu corpse king stand in front of them. Guarding at the side, he released the Liuhe Xuanshui forbidden array, sat cross-legged in it and began to sense this change.

The first thing to respond is the organs. Kidney water is the source of life for people. If there is a problem with the kidneys, people will not be far from death. Every time a cultivator grows in cultivation, the function of the kidneys will be improved. Qin Chuan entered In the advanced treasure body stage, the kidney function has been improved qualitatively.

But now, he felt that the function of the kidneys was deteriorating, and this degeneration was not a sign of some kind of problem, but gradual aging.

The heart and lungs are also aging together with the kidneys, which is manifested in the weakening ability to mobilize qi and blood, just like an old machine, which always gives people a feeling of weakness.

The degeneration of the organs can only be felt, and there is no specific manifestation, but the changes on the body surface are visible to the naked eye. The skin that was originally jade-like began to become loose, and its luster gradually disappeared.

Qin Chuan took out a self-made mirror and looked at himself in the mirror. His hair started to turn white, fine wrinkles appeared on the corners of his eyes and brows, and his face was still getting darker. All this made him feel scared, afraid that he would really grow old. And so on until old age dies.

He suddenly thought of a lyric "Time is like a flying knife, and a knife makes people grow old". What made him afraid?
it's time!It is the power of time!

That's right, the textures are the traces left by the years. Everything in the world will leave traces under the scouring of time. Trees have annual rings, animals will grow old, get sick and die, and mountains and rivers will be eroded. All of these are permeated with time. effect.

Looking at the gray temples and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, he suddenly remembered an ancient profession: physiognomy!

Physiognomy may not be able to accurately judge the future, but the texture of the face and hands can indeed judge the experience of life.

Why can it be seen through the texture?Because that is the trace left by the years, it is the pattern of time.

The law of time is the foundation of the evolution of the way of heaven, and it is also the basic law of the way. As long as you understand the law of time, you can naturally judge a person's past and even speculate on the future life through the dao lines left by time. development track.

This gave him a hint of enlightenment, and this insight did not mean that he planned to change his profession to become a physiognomy master, but that he finally knew what the purpose of cultivating immortals was.

Someone said, the author, you are not talking nonsense, how can someone who has cultivated immortality for so long not know what it is for?
Before, Qin Chuan always thought that he knew this very well. Isn't the purpose of cultivating immortals to become stronger and immortal?
This idea is correct, but it is superficial. The real purpose of cultivating immortals is to transcend the shackles of heaven and the influence of time, so as to prevent the years from leaving traces on individuals. To paraphrase a vulgar saying: jump out of the three realms, Not in the five elements!
In just one hour, the young man in the mirror has turned into an old man of five or sixty years old. His body has indeed left traces of time, but his eyes are getting brighter and deeper. Dao; the name can be named, but it is not named; the beginning of the unknown world is named the mother of all things; therefore, you can always observe its beauty without desire...

The same Tao Te Ching, when I first came into contact with cultivating immortals, my understanding was very superficial. When I was in Taishi Realm, I initially understood the true meaning of the Dao, but now combined with a little understanding of the law of time, I have a deeper understanding. The mystery of the classics.

After chanting a few times, he suddenly took out a piece of talisman paper, and sketched some weird textures on it with a few strokes. The textures seemed to be chaotic, but they looked extremely lively and vivid.

The "disease" talisman ignited spontaneously without wind, and then turned into a gray light and hit a small tree. A strange scene appeared. The leaves of the small tree turned yellow at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then fell down, as if entering the vegetation all at once. Withered late autumn.

"Time pattern, it's really amazing!" Qin Chuan couldn't help exclaiming, he just got a glimpse of the door of the law of time, and combined this understanding with the dead wood rune, the result has such an effect, if it is true After comprehending the Dao of Time, wouldn't it be possible to determine a person's life and death with just one talisman?
Of course, he quickly freed himself from this fantasy. There are tens of thousands of practitioners in the world, but there may not be one among the hundreds of millions who can comprehend this law of time, otherwise there would be no such thing as the difficulty of immortality.

Take out a jade bottle from the storage bracelet, then swallow the whole bottle of Longevity Pill, and take it with Yimu Lingjiu. This method of supplementing vitality by taking the elixir will definitely explode and die, but he knows it well , The treasure body stage has a strong "digestion" ability.

Three hours later, although he still looked a little old, his mental state had recovered to [-]% to [-]% of his heyday.

Opening his eyes, he suddenly noticed that the Wandu Corpse King and the Dark Ye Shui Qilin were a bit tired, the Wan Du Corpse King was a little better, and the Shui Qilin was lazily lying on the ground, like a lion about to die of old age.

After a little thought, it became clear that the Wandu Corpse King was "still young", and although the Dark Ye Shui Qilin itself had a very long lifespan, it must be extremely unsuitable for being so "old" all at once.

Take out a lot of pills suitable for them, then let them go back to the corpse bag and the beast bag to rest, withdraw the formation, and start to observe the environment here.

According to the information obtained earlier, the Black Dragon Secret Realm is a space where spiritual energy and demonic energy coexist, which made him very interested in knowing how these two kinds of heaven and earth energy coexist. In his cognition, these two things should be "incompatible" together. right.

After a little induction, the aura on the mountain where he is located is relatively strong, and it also contains a little fairy aura, unlike a place where there is a devilish aura.

Looking up at the sky, the star river is bright, completely different from the starry sky in the Blue Rain Realm. The Big Dipper is still there, but it seems very far away, but the Southern Dipper hangs high in the center.

There is a golden star, which is several times larger than the other stars. Most of the heat comes from this star, but the main light comes from a blood-colored planet, but this light gives people a cold feeling.

Try to rehearse all the Taoist techniques that you have practiced. The five-element technique is basically unaffected, the power of the sound attack technique is slightly increased, and the seven-step small movement and concealment technique have failed. In addition, the power of space here is relatively weak. With the blessing of the Law of Power, the Cloud Pai Palm can easily break through the void.

After knowing it well, Qin Chuan left the mountain and flew to the forest before.

A little closer to the trees, he was attacked again. Most of these trees were very tall, and their branches and leaves were mostly brown. After tens of thousands of years of growth, even if the trunk is not as tough as iron, it shouldn't be broken so easily.

Soon he noticed a phenomenon that he had overlooked before, that is, it was too quiet here, and there were no animals.

After looking around carefully, at the edge of the woods, I found a strange-looking rabbit being entangled by the roots of a tree. Several of the thorny roots got into the rabbit's fur. After a while, the rabbit was completely Shriveled down.

"Chi!" A sword qi cut off the roots, and dark red blood seeped from the roots.

"Flesh-eating trees, could it be..." Qin Chuan knew very well that he would not be interested in flesh and blood even if it was a tree that turned into a human being. In his impression, only blood-eating vines and piranhas would devour flesh and blood, and these trees obviously did not belong to the These two categories, the only explanation is that these trees have mutated, and they are probably demonized.

The so-called demonization refers to the absorption of the real devil's energy, which stimulates some potential blood-eating characteristics, causing the creatures to mutate. magic.

With this kind of speculation, after careful observation, it was found that there was a different kind of heavenly energy and earth energy in the air. Qin Chuan tried to wrap it with a big hand of spiritual power, but the big hand of spiritual power was quickly eroded by the thin vitality.

"Sure enough, it's demonic energy, but..." He found that the heavenly energy and earthly energy in the forest was still dominated by Yimu spiritual energy, and this Yimu spiritual energy and that thin demonic energy could coexist peacefully.

After thinking for a long time, it is still difficult to figure it out, but he noticed another phenomenon, although the Yimu aura and magic energy coexist peacefully, they are not mixed together, but have distinct layers, and what is even more strange is that the closer to the ground the magic energy The greater the density of Qi, the higher the density of Reiki.

Is it because the light air rises and the turbid air descends?This conjecture cannot be proven, but he is not going to delve into it further, after all, he came to the secret realm to find opportunities, not to dig into a dead end.

There is still too little information about the secret realm, and it is impossible to distinguish the direction, so I can only choose a direction at random, and fly slowly for hundreds of miles, and find that the concentration of magic energy is getting thicker and thicker. There was a sound of fighting, and the consciousness was released hastily, and found that there were six old men fighting fiercely, that's right, they were old men, because these guys all had gray hair.

After careful identification, one of them is still an acquaintance, and he needs to go to help both public and private.

Seeing Qin Chuan's arrival, the two old men who were besieged were overjoyed, "Brother Qin, please act quickly!"

"Tsk tsk, you old fellows are quite old, and you are still fighting and killing here, you don't feel ashamed!"

How could the four Yingzhou monks talk nonsense with him, so they sent one of them to fight.

Qin Chuan dodged the opponent's flying sword, and then took out the Ruyi horned dragon stick and rushed over. In this place full of devilish energy, spiritual power would be greatly restricted, and close combat is undoubtedly the best method.

Of course, the cultivator on the opposite side didn't want him to approach. He shot out the wall of spiritual power, and then retreated sharply, but the wall of spiritual power collapsed before it could condense into shape.

Qin Chuan hurriedly pursued for several tens of feet, and suddenly yelled "呔", it was not the monk he was chasing, but another person who hurt Hao Ran's heart.

Zhang Xiaomo understood, and suddenly used the high-level swordsmanship that combines body and sword. The monk next to him wanted to rescue him, but a huge palm print forced him to dodge. At this moment, a scream came out, and the abdomen of the monk who was attacked was pierced. Although not fatal, it basically lost its combat effectiveness.
