Chronicles of Celestial Origins

The eighth.

Tangning looked at the graceful young man walking in the distance and thought to herself, the wooden sign in his hand with the word "gan" all lit up. He came here three days ago, together with Mu Pingbo.

This place is no different from anywhere else, full of towering ancient trees and surrounded by mist.

No, it's miasma.

At this moment, seven or eight boys and girls were sitting cross-legged in various corners, either alone or in pairs, keeping a certain distance from each other.

"It's him." Mu Pingbo whispered.

"you know?"

"The beloved son of Princess Pingyang, Chu De."

"You said someone would come to take us into the Immortal Sect on July 15th. What day is June today?"

"Don't worry, just wait!"

After more than ten days, the other two people also arrived. At this time, the ten people were faintly divided into three groups. Chu De, the beloved son of Princess Pingyang, joined Tang Ning and Mu Pingbo. The other group was composed of two men. One woman, and another group of two men and two women.

In such an unknown environment, people will naturally form groups.

Although Tang Ning, Mu Pingbo, and Chu Deping have never met before, and their statuses are very different, the three of them are all from the Chu country, and the feeling of hometown here seems very cordial.

Several others are from Qi and Wu.

The three of them acted together, occasionally catching a few scorpions or snakes to improve their food.

On this day, a man suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of everyone. Yes, he appeared out of thin air. Without any warning, the man appeared right there. He was dressed in simple green clothes with two white clouds on his clothes, like a living creature. Usually, it swims around on the clothes, sometimes reaching the back, and sometimes reaching the chest.

Without saying a word, the man flipped his right hand and threw it upwards. A huge fan appeared in the air. The man stood on the fan and waved his hand. Everyone felt an irresistible force pulling them, and their bodies couldn't help but move. Floating upward, the power did not disappear until everyone landed on the fan.

Is this the method of the immortal family? Capturing people from the air, everyone was scared and surprised, and everyone was excited

The man flipped his left hand and a yellow talisman appeared in his hand. He threw it forward and the talisman disappeared.

After a while, the fan flew forward, and it felt as if it had passed through a layer of water curtain, and another world suddenly opened up before my eyes.

The majestic fairy mountains and peaks are endless, standing in the clouds and mist. Facing the golden glow, you can see many fairy temples floating in the air.

There are several cranes drinking water in the mountain streams, and several stone apes climbing on the cliffs. On the lake, the sunset and solitary swans fly together, pavilions, waterfalls and pavilions are filled with fairy spirit.

There is a door not far ahead, about a hundred feet high, with golden light flowing all over it. On the door are engraved three characters, Qian Yizong.

What a fairy-like style.

Tang Ning turned around and saw the end of the fan passing through the "water curtain", and layers of "water waves" rippling in the air.

The man sent a few people to a short mountain peak, then flashed and disappeared again.

Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to ask more questions just now.

Fortunately, after a while, a fat Taoist priest came. Like the silent man, he was dressed in green clothes with two white clouds on his clothes.

The fat Taoist came to the crowd and stretched out his hand: "Give me the house number on your body."

Everyone did not dare to disobey and handed the wooden signs to him one after another.

He flipped his right hand and the house number disappeared. A red and blue stone appeared in his hand, pointing at Tangning: "Come here."

When Tang Ning saw him pointing at her, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. She walked over obediently. The fat Taoist held his hand and scratched his palm. A cut immediately appeared on Tang Ning's palm, and blood flowed out.

"Hold it." The fat Taoist handed the stone to him. Tangning held the stone as instructed. The originally red and blue stone gave off a faint light.

"What's your name? How old are you this year? Where are you from?" The fat Taoist took out a bamboo slip and asked

Tangning answered one by one.

"Okay, next one."

Everyone followed suit. After asking the last person, the fat Taoist took out a piece of talisman and pasted it on the bamboo slip. He threw it forward and the talisman disappeared with the bamboo slip.

"My name is Mo Ruting. We may be brothers in the future, but not now. You can call me Master Mo, and I will guide your practice from now on."

"This stone is called Immortal Testing Stone, and its function is to test whether you have spiritual roots and spiritual root qualifications. If you can light up the Qianyi Sect's door plate and come here, it means that you are all people with spiritual roots. As for your qualifications, we will wait for you." You will naturally know it after you successfully transform into the mortal world.”

Mo Ruting took out a few wooden signs and distributed them to everyone: "This is your room number. Follow this number to find your room. There are clothes specially prepared for you. That's it for today! I'll be here at Chenshi tomorrow. gather."

"You can walk around this mountain as you like after changing your clothes, but don't run too far. The room is over there."

Everyone followed the direction he directed and found their own rooms.

Tangning opened the door. The room was not big, but clean and bright.

There was a set of dark clothes on the bedside, and a small bottle on the table.

He put on his clothes, picked up the bottle and looked at it. There was a small note on the bottle: Bigu Pill, one pill can keep you from being hungry for ten days, don't eat too much.

Tang Ning opened the bottle cap and poured all the elixirs inside into her hands. There were thirty black round pills in total. She took a sniff and found that there was no special smell. It felt like ordinary pills in the drugstore.

He tasted one out of curiosity. Before he could taste it carefully, the pill melted in his mouth and went down his throat into his stomach.

As Tangning lay on the bed, she remembered how similar the training place in front of the caravan was.

I wonder if Liu Ruhan is here. After personally experiencing the immortal's methods, I remembered the scene when she flew onto the bow of the ship that day.

She probably couldn't help herself!

He closed his eyes and remembered the scene of corpses everywhere in the village. Originally, he wanted to join the Qianyi Sect, but there was no way to join him. When he gave up completely and just wanted to live his own life in peace, another unexpected coincidence happened. Coming down here, I have to say that fate can be so funny sometimes.

And this may just be the beginning.

…………

After resting in the room for a day, the next morning he and everyone went to the place designated by Mo Ruting. After waiting for a long time, Mo Ruting came with a big belly.

"I say I will guide you in your practice, but I am not so free, because I also have to practice. From now on, I will only come three times a month, on the first, fifteenth, and thirtieth day of the lunar month. If you don't understand or have any doubts, you can ask me Ask me on those days.”

Mo Ruting put his hands behind his hands and said: "Because you have not transformed yet and are not formal disciples, I will not tell you the rules of the sect. You can walk around this mountain as you like, but only within this mountain. What is there now?" If you don’t know, just ask.”

"What is metamorphosis?" asked a young man

"That's a good question. Transformation means shedding the mortal body. Only after transformation can a person practice and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Practicing privately before transformation can easily lead to the devil and the destruction of the soul, because after the body absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it will If you can’t bear it, these spiritual energy from heaven and earth are restless. After entering the body, your whole body will be in chaos. If you can’t bear it, your body will explode and die.”

"When can we transform into mortals?" another person asked.

"It's not possible now. Your bones and meridians have not yet been completely formed, and they cannot withstand the pressure on your body during transformation. At least you have to wait until your bones are finalized and no longer change."

"How will the skeleton be finalized? After transformation, will I be able to learn magic like you and go to heaven and earth?"

"Ordinary people generally reach the age of eighteen when their bones are finalized. Those who have practiced can do so a few years earlier. As for what happens after the transformation, we will talk about it later. I only care about your practice before the transformation."

"What will happen if the transformation fails?" Tangning asked in a low voice.

Mo Ruting had a half-smile on his face: "You can only succeed, not fail. If you fail, you will die."

Everyone turned pale.

"I just said that the body needs to withstand a lot of pressure when transforming into a mortal. If it cannot bear it, the bones and meridians of the whole body will be crushed. There is no clear time limit for transforming into a mortal. There is a mortal transforming pool in the sect. What are you thinking? Just tell me when the time comes. Everyone has one chance, and only one chance. If you succeed, you will enter the immortal gate, and if you fail, you will die."

"Yesterday when we entered the sect, it felt like we passed through a layer of water. Why?"

"That's the barrier of the mountain-protecting formation. It's a little trick. Naturally, you can't see it through with your naked eyes. You'll know it after you actually practice. The mountain-protecting formation is the sect's biggest support. It's used to prevent outsiders from attacking the mountain."

"Does anyone else have anything to ask? If not, just listen to me." After waiting for a while and seeing that no one asked any more questions, Mo Ruting turned out a few books in his hand: "This is a simplified version of the Qianyi Sect's Taoist Basics. It contains methods for cultivating the mind." , of course, the main ones are the method of meditating and breathing and guiding the Qi.”

"Whether you are a peerless genius or an idiot, you must start from the foundation of Taoism. This is the foundation of all cultivation."

"The so-called practice is to breathe in the energy of heaven and earth, improve one's own physique, and then control the power between heaven and earth step by step."

“Through the method of meditating, exhaling, breathing and guiding qi, you can strengthen your physique, and then transform your body through transformation, inhale the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for your own use, and master the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, to achieve freedom and longevity, which is the purpose of practice.”

"Cultivation depends on the individual. You should understand it yourself. If you don't understand, come and ask me."

"Did you see that stone altar over there? There are three hundred steps in total, which are specially used for your transformation and cultivation. The pressure will double every ten steps."

"There is also that waterfall over there. The water in the pool is freezing cold. You can also practice under the waterfall. It will also be of great help to you in improving your physique."

"You must practice this set of bone-forging fists frequently. It will also be of great benefit to you in improving your physique."

"Now you've shown me everything. I'll only demonstrate it once. If you ask me to demonstrate it in the future, I won't pay attention."

After Mo Ruting finished speaking, he punched and kicked him. After about half an hour, he finished the attack.

"If there's nothing else, just go and practice on your own! Remember, practice well and don't make trouble, or I'll throw you off the mountain."

"Master Mo Xian." Seeing that he was about to leave, Tang Ning hurriedly shouted.

"What's up?"

"Do you know a girl named Liu Ruhan? She is about the same age as me. She is mute and came here half a year ago." Tangning asked in a low voice.

"I've never heard of it before. Don't just think about getting married and clinging to the old, practice hard." Mo Ruting frowned and scolded.
