Journey to the West: The Rise of Martial Arts

Chapter 417 Proving the Way in a Dream
The theories of the ancient schools of thought are the further refinement and derivation of the civil and martial arts of the human race. Regardless of the social value and influence of these theories themselves, in terms of their respective cultivation methods, they can actually be classified as magic techniques. In the two general directions of martial arts and martial arts.And the novelist's method of cultivation belongs to the art of magic.

Fuxi performed gossip and created his own spell training system for the human race of later generations, but the inheritance of the Three Emperors had been interrupted as early as the Five Emperors era, and many of the human race's spells that have been handed down are just superficial.Later, in the era of the Five Emperors, Xuanmen continued to preach among the human race. Combined with this form of magic that has been accepted by the human race, a unique Taoist school was formed, that is, the Fulu sect. (Of course, in this process, the so-called Jindan sect was formed by combining the training methods of human martial arts! Many warriors will choose to practice the so-called "Golden Elixir Way" when their cultivation base is shattered.)
The Talisman Sect is good at Zhaijiao rituals. They use runes to cure people with water, and arrange grand sacrificial rituals to invite the gods of the fairy world to ward off disasters and bless people. They quickly formed a great influence among the human race.In the era of contention among a hundred schools of thought, the most popular technique among the human race is this talisman technique.The novelist uses a Dayan God Talisman as the foundation, arouses the resonance of others through the wonderful story he conceives, and collects all kinds of thoughts they have in this story to perfect the Dayan God Talisman, so that, in the end, one Each talisman is perfected into a world, which is the so-called "one flower, one world, one thought, one universe"!
However, Ren Qinglian knows how difficult it is for ordinary people in this era to spread the story, let alone limited by their horizons. Writing a wonderful story is not an easy task in itself.More often, the disciples of novelists are just reduced to the generation of gossip and hearsay.Because of this relationship, although novelists form a family of their own, they are regarded as out-of-the-ordinary, so there is also the saying of "nine streams and ten schools".

However, this cultivation method invented by the novelist was a great inspiration to Ren Qinglian.Although he is practicing martial arts, the foundation of the way of talismans is formations. Among the novelist classics collected in the secret pavilion of the universe, there is the condensed method of Dayan talisman. Ordinary novelist disciples need to practice a simple one. Taoism forms mana to condense this Dayan talisman. For Ren Qinglian, it can also be condensed with the help of martial arts.In fact, the process of his main body inadvertently imprinting the innate gossip formation from the gossip cloud light handkerchief of Empress Shiji is actually using the true energy of martial arts to condense the "talisman".

In Ren Qinglian's view, the spiritual thoughts that novelists need to accumulate continuously in the process of practice are actually the so-called "will power". From this point of view, it is similar to the Buddhist world of collecting believers' vow power to condense the Buddhist world.You must know that for those ordinary human races in the era of contending among a hundred schools of thought, they didn't even know the existence of Buddhism.

For Ren Qinglian, from later generations, he has all kinds of novels in his mind. As for the vows that even Buddhist monks need to collect through preaching everywhere, it is not a problem for him.From the performance of those members of the Winged Clan and even the Vampire Clan in the inner world of the deity, it can be seen that with the help of the will of the world, he can easily collect all kinds of spiritual thoughts he needs. Enough living beings can collect enough wish power to form novel worlds one by one, so that the legendary characters in his previous life memory can appear alive in this world.Even, if he can really achieve the highest level pursued by a novelist, and these novel worlds are perfect enough to rival the real world, he can even take out all the things in the novel world for his own use.Moreover, even if he can't reach this idealized state, by constantly perfecting the experience accumulated in these novel worlds, he can also perfect the laws of heaven and earth in his inner world, so that the inner world will eventually form a real great world!

"Han...Brother Han...Are you really planning to practice the novelist's method?" The Confucian disciples next to him saw that Ren Qinglian had read all the novelist's classics on the shelf in a serious manner. Asked in disbelief.

However, Ren Qinglian smiled lightly and nodded: "Yes, it is still very promising to practice the skills of a novelist..." After finishing speaking, she walked outside.

The few disciples looked at each other in blank dismay. Originally, they came to comprehend the novelist's classics just to broaden their horizons, but after listening to Ren Qinglian's words, they began to look at the novelist's skills again.In the following long period of time, Ren Qinglian's words began to spread in the civil and military academy somehow, and the originally unpopular novelist suddenly became the object of everyone's study.

In a secret room of the Academy of Arts, Long Su of Shulou listened to his disciple's reply, but fell into deep thought: "Han Xiangzi should just talk about it casually, the novelist's cultivation method is too whimsical. The time to spread the story, why not study the real knowledge honestly! Yes, Han Yu said before that his nephew likes to tell stories since he was a child..." Thinking, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.He asked Jianru to pass on the message to Ren Qinglian. He wanted Ren Qinglian to study the Confucian classics. I have not been to the place where Confucian classics are located, but stayed in the novelist's place for a long time.

……

According to the agreement with Lu Dongbin, on March [-]th of this year, the Eight Immortals will gather at the Chenghuang Pavilion in Qiantang to make suggestions and make a plan for the upcoming return to the market.

But now that she came to Dongsheng Shenzhou, and happened to pass by Huaguo Mountain on the way to Nanfangbuzhou, seeing that there was enough time, Ren Qinglian lowered her figure and planned to see the monkeys.

With the help of Ren Qinglian's Sanguang Shenshui, the vitality of Huaguo Mountain has been restored. Decades have passed, and the island has become more and more vibrant.

Sensing the breath of the monkey, Ren Qinglian went straight to Shuilian Cave.

Along the way, some older monkeys saw him and did not go up to stop him. It was the first time for more young monkeys to see a human being landed on the island, and they surrounded him curiously, chirping non-stop.

"Who is it? Huaguo Mountain is a heavy place, and the idlers leave quickly!" When they arrived in front of Shuilian Cave, four old monkeys, Ma, Liu, Ben, and Ba, suddenly jumped out, each holding their weapons, and blocked the entrance of the cave.

Ren Qinglian didn't change her figure, it's normal that the four masters didn't recognize him, but he couldn't help frowning as he looked at the barrier in front of the Water Curtain Cave, and secretly said: "Could it be that the monkey is practicing in seclusion... "Thinking, the powerful will of martial arts has enveloped the four of them, but under his feet, he unknowingly released his true energy to build a Liuhe Desire Lotus Platform Formation.

The surrounding monkeys lost their minds for a while. Although the four masters resisted for a while because their mana was not weak, but Ren Qinglian's martial arts will suppressed them, and they were quickly drawn into the phantom of the demon. , like a fleeting image, showed it to Ren Qinglian.

The timeline in the picture goes back to the time when the Desire Realm was just shattered. Monkey, Zhu Gangli, and Sha Wujing spent more than half a year on this island to cultivate, and they left after their injuries recovered.According to the memory of the four masters, there is mention of the whereabouts of Zhu Ganglu, who went to Dongsheng Shenzhou to find his wife Gao Cuilan, but after Ren Qinglian came to Dongsheng Shenzhou, she only went to Xuehai Wuya, wanting to meet It's not easy to get on the pig gang hyena couple.As for Sha Wujing, although he didn't mention his whereabouts, Ren Qinglian could guess that he should have returned to the Heavenly Court, but he doesn't know if he has been promoted and made a fortune now.

The monkey lived alone on this island, but in the memory of the four masters, this time when the king came back, he would often be alone in a daze with fruit wine and delicacies, and the words he occasionally heard could not escape the words "Master" "Buddha" and so on, obviously, the monkey is still immersed in the years of the Westward Journey.No wonder, although monkeys have lived for thousands of years since their birth, the journey to the west is probably the most exciting and fulfilling period of time.After all, it seemed that he was the most majestic and majestic when he was making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, but it was actually a one-man show by himself, a marionette in the hands of gods and Buddhas, and a monkey on a grand stage!What's more, Xuanzang's ending is, after all, a thorn in his heart that cannot be erased!This is probably why tragedies are often more unforgettable.

The turning point of the matter occurred ten years ago when a Taoist appeared on Huaguo Mountain.Through the names of the monkeys in the memory of Si Jianjiang, Ren Qinglian knew that this Taoist was Patriarch Bodhi.

"Prove the Tao in a dream!" After a long time, Ren Qinglian finished reviewing the memories of several people, and suddenly thought of a word mentioned by the Taoist overheard by General Sijian. Ren Qinglian was finally able to confirm the identity of the Bodhi Patriarch. The other party should be the Zhunti Taoist among the two saints of the Western religion (although the enlightenment in the dream was created by the guiding Taoist, but the body of the Zhunti Taoist is the Bodhi tree, and it is more reasonable that his clone is the Bodhi ancestor).

Shaking her head, Ren Qinglian also felt happy for the monkey: "I hope that the next time we meet, the strength of the Great Sage can be improved to a higher level!" Through Lu Dongbin's explanation, regarding the catastrophe that will be caused by the turmoil in Guixu, Ren Qinglian already understood it very well, and she naturally understood that the whole prehistoric world was in danger of being shattered and collapsed. Under the quasi-sage, she was almost powerless to protect herself.Fortunately, the turmoil in Guixu is just the beginning, and the whole catastrophe will not happen overnight. There is still some time left for them to restore the situation, but it is unknown how long it will be. I am afraid it will depend on how the various factions Coping, and the result of coping.

"It seems that I also need to speed up my practice!" The martial arts foundation has been tempered with the help of the martial arts will in the [Five Classics], and the Heaven Swallowing Art has also been advanced. Go to the underworld, completely integrate the power of the blood clone, and then go to the Pangu Temple in Luzhou, Beiju, take those few drops of ancestral witch blood, and give it to the deity, so as to improve your own power as soon as possible.Thinking of this, he slowly dissipated the power of the Liuhe Desire Lotus Formation, and set off in the direction of Nanfangbuzhou.

But what Ren Qinglian didn't know was that shortly after he left Shuilian Cave, a Taoist walked out of the cave's restriction. If he was present at this time, he would recognize him. The Bodhi Patriarch.

"It turned out to be this kid, who is quite capable of making troubles. He actually became one of the Eight Immortals of Shangdong. I don't know if Taishang Laojun knows about this!" Looking at the direction where Ren Qinglian disappeared, Patriarch Bodhi With a playful smile on his face.

The method of proving the Tao in the dream was established by his senior brother. After all, the monkey was born too late. In order to grow up as soon as possible, from the beginning to the end, it was almost in a state of counterproductive growth. This time the world of desire was shattered, making the monkey The influence left by Lao Tzu's transformation of Hu into a Buddha has been greatly reduced in the Western world. For him, it can be regarded as a consummation of merit and virtue.Satisfied, he felt a little guilty about the monkey, so he begged the spell of enlightenment in a dream from the guide, and taught it to the monkey, not to mention it, but stayed in the dark to protect him.

"I hope that in the next catastrophe, Wukong, you can become the mainstay of Western religion!" Patriarch Bodhi murmured, enlightenment in dreams is different from other cultivation methods, it can not be affected by time and space, a dream for thousands of years , in the dream, the monkey will experience a richer life. He has enough experience to let him lay down his foundation steadily and break through the current cultivation base. It is not a problem at all. A kind of height!
After sending away the dazed four masters and other monkeys, Patriarch Bodhi sat in front of the cave, thinking about stories.

At this moment, a terrifying spatial fluctuation suddenly came from the sky above a deserted island not far from Huaguo Mountain. Patriarch Bodhi looked over subconsciously, and saw that the source of the spatial fluctuation was two ancient The jade-like palm is forcibly tearing open a void at this moment, and I can't help being moved by it, "Such a powerful cultivation base, I am afraid that this deity is not as good..."

While stunned, one of the hands came out and inserted a golden scepter in the center of the deserted island. A crown hung on the scepter. Patriarch Bodhi's eyes lit up, "Two pieces of grade An ominous innate magic weapon!!!" The strength of the opponent's master is too unfathomable, the Bodhi ancestor's eyes are hot, but he didn't dare to act rashly.

Then, under his regretful and shocking eyes, the scepter and crown began to melt like sand and sank into the land of the island, causing the area of ​​the entire deserted island to increase rapidly. They waited until the distance between the two sides was less than ten feet before stopping.

"This..." Patriarch Bodhi really couldn't understand why the two good earth-attribute magic weapons were destroyed, just to increase the area of ​​the island, "Even if the area of ​​​​this deserted island is now second only to the prehistoric How can the islands of Penglai Island compare to those two treasures that are so valuable!"

While muttering, a group of colorful rays of light had descended on the island.

Some creatures that Bodhi Patriarch had never seen before began to come out of that ball of light. Among them was a blond woman with pointed ears, holding a small sapling in both hands, and planted it on the island. In just one breath, it grew into a towering giant tree, covering the entire west side of the island...

Faintly, Patriarch Bodhi heard the owner of the palm say: "Here is the land I promised you!" After speaking, the space crack disappeared, and a blue willow leaf fell from the air in circles. It fell down and landed on the island, forming a mysterious space barrier, hiding the entire island amidst the shock on the face of Patriarch Bodhi.

He subconsciously let go of his divine sense and felt it, and found that the island did exist, but the space where it was located seemed to be separated separately, "Who the hell has such a profound attainment in the law of space! "

……

On the 33rd day, outside the gate of Tianwei, there was chaos and void.

Immortal Yang Mei sent those creatures from the God Realm into the prehistoric world, and was about to leave when a familiar voice sounded behind him: "Fellow Daoist Yang Mei, since you're here, why leave in such a hurry!"

"Hongjun!" Yang Mei.

The person who came was Daozu Hongjun, staring at Yang Mei with a playful face and said with a smile: "The battle with Daoist friend in this chaos is still fresh in my memory. After many years, I finally have the opportunity to ask for advice again."

Immortal Yang Mei cursed secretly, "Small belly and chicken intestines". He knew that Hongjun had joined the way of heaven, and his strength must be better than his own. Therefore, when he sent those creatures from the God Realm to the Earth and Immortal Realm just now, he did not come to his real body. It's just tearing the void and casting spells in the air. I didn't expect him to be so cautious, but he was discovered by Daozu Hongjun and shook his head. "Poverty Dao has other things to do, so I won't accompany you!"

"The affairs of God's Domain are over. Fellow Daoist should have nothing to be busy with..." Hongjun looked thoughtful, but Yang Mei was shocked by these words, and blurted out, "How do you know?" The matter of God's Domain!"

Hongjun smiled lightly: "The Great Desolate Heavenly Dao has been connected with the World Tree..."

Yang Mei opened his mouth, thinking that the World Tree can also be regarded as the Heavenly Dao of the God Realm, and it can be regarded as the same kind of existence as the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World. It was not surprising that they had communicated with each other, but Hongjun's words reminded him, and they were in harmony with each other. Tian Dao's Hongjun fights, absolutely asking for trouble, "I admit defeat!"

Hongjun had no intention of letting him leave at all, "I would like to admit defeat. I remember that fellow daoists took away a lot of good things from old daoists back then!"

"Damn it!" Yang Mei cursed secretly, "I'll give you back everything!" Seeing that Hongjun had no intention of giving up, he said coldly, "What do fellow Taoists want!!!"

Hongjun still had the same expression: "The three original powers of the universe in your body!"

"The power of the three sources, why don't you grab it, it is the foundation of my void world, if I give it to you, wouldn't the world collapse!!!" Yang Meihan said in a cold voice.

Every Great Thousand World has its own source of power. The more the source of power, the stronger the world. There are nine sources of power in the prehistoric world. There are seven paths mastered by the Dao of Heaven, that is, the origin of the seven primordial purple qi in the prehistoric world (sages who are accomplished with the help of these primordial purple qi are also called heavenly sages), and the remaining one was originally incomplete, and was later sacrificed by Rahu and Houtu Completion!After Hongjun got together, it was equivalent to mastering the eight complete sources of power. However, after so many years of continuous improvement in the void world that Yang Mei himself opened up inside the hollow willow branch, there are only three sources of power now. It is conceivable how big the gap between him and Hongjun's strength is now.

Hongjun seemed to enjoy Yang Mei's frenzied expression very much. After staring at him for a long time, he said indifferently: "There is a broken Great Thousand World in the center of the chaos, where many Hunyuan powerhouses have fallen. For the things that allow you to restore your strength, I will not take the space origin in your body for the time being, so that you have a chance to try your luck!"

"You..." Yang Mei was on the verge of getting out of anger, and it was fine to forcibly take away her own world's original power, and even pretended to be kind, if he hadn't known that he was definitely not the enemy of this Hongjun old man , I'm afraid I have to go up and fight desperately.After hesitating for a long time, thinking of what happened to the World Tree, he finally obediently handed two of the world's original powers to Hongjun. At the same time, the void world in his body collapsed and shrunk in an instant, and finally turned into a An internal space.

Seeing that the two original powers that he had condensed through countless years of practice were refined by Hongjun, Yang Mei's heart was bleeding, and finally couldn't help asking: "I heard World Tree mentioned before, the self-awareness of the great world I will instinctively strengthen myself, and fellow Taoists want these two sources of power, is it because of the influence of heaven?" Regarding Hongjun's current state, Yang Mei was still a little curious, what exactly is this Hongjun standing in front of him? Is it the prehistoric way of heaven, or Hongjun himself.

"Hongjun is the way of heaven, the way of heaven is not for Hongjun!" Daoist Hongjun said indifferently.

"Sure enough!" Yang Mei thought, feeling better for no reason.

But after he left, a sneer flashed across Daoist Na Hongjun's face: "If you want to kill the sky, you must make it crazy!" After finishing speaking, Yang Mei's two original powers had been completely fused by him , on his palm, the sixteen sources of power are arranged in a strange way. If Yang Mei is here, he will find that the five sources of power among them exude the breath of the gods, but they are Hongjun When the Dao ancestor was shattered in the realm of the gods, he had already seized the original power remaining in that world with great mana.

The original power of the sixteen paths was in Hongjun's hands, and around his body, the entire space was slightly distorted.In fact, if someone can zoom in on the entire chaotic world to see it in one picture, they will find that not only space distortions appear around Hongjun's body, but also a kind of chaos appears around the entire prehistoric world as the core. Strange space distortion.

This kind of distortion caused certain ripples to appear in the entire chaotic space. With this prehistoric world as the center, a huge attraction was generated, and it began to slowly absorb the heavens and worlds in the ten directions of chaos.If the entire chaotic world is compared to a bed sheet with its four corners flattened, the heavens and myriad worlds were originally a ball at a fixed position on the sheet, but because the original power of the prehistoric world suddenly increased, the ball of the prehistoric world As the weight increased, the entire bed sheet trembled to a certain extent, producing so-called ripples, and these ripples began to guide the other spheres, slowly approaching the place where the space distorted and collapsed.

You can't become fat in one breath. Don't look at the prehistoric world, which seems to be becoming stronger with more original power at the moment, but the way of heaven also needs to grow. This kind of power beyond his control will eventually accumulate to a certain conclusion. At that point, it will completely erupt. At that time, the world will merge, and the way of heaven will be hit back by the uncontrollable power of the world's origin, which will give Hongjun a chance to break out of the state of harmony. At that time, Hongjun will have the opportunity to fuse those origins by himself. The power of power, the true detachment of oneself, the achievement of the supreme road.
