Taiping Inn

The palace is filled with palaces, and it is not a problem to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.

The pseudo-immortals live in the palace. Everyone is like a concubine and a prince, with an independent gatehouse. They are free to enter and exit on weekdays, without being restricted, and are worshipped by the court, compared to those who have no sects to rely on. It’s so much better for Sanren.

However, among the many pseudo-immortals, Lan Xuanshuang had the best opportunity. She picked up half of Beimang Mountain for nothing. Now she is an important figure in the Taoist sect, but she is incomparable to others.

After experiencing the incident in Manchunyuan, all the pseudo-immortals returned to the palace city and rarely went out. After all, the situation in the city is tense now, and they don’t want to cause trouble.

Chu Zunliang looks the oldest among the fake immortals, but in fact he just looks. His old appearance just shows that he is the weakest among the fake immortals.

"Xuandu Purple Mansion" is an extremely magical place. After the false immortals were forcibly merged with the Tao, their realm of cultivation would rise to the false realm of immortality, which could not truly cross the threshold of immortality. From then on, hundreds of them would be able to reach the realm of immortality. In 2018, my cultivation has no more progress. After leaving the "Xuandu Zifu", you will restore your original state of cultivation.

In other words, what level of cultivation is there when you enter the "Xuandu Purple Mansion"? What level of cultivation is there when you leave the "Xuandu Purple Mansion". There will be no changes because of the Tao. It is equivalent to wasting a hundred years. .

Although the pseudo-immortals have good cultivation in their realm and their life span is far superior to that of ordinary people, they have swallowed some materials that refine immortal medicine in the Five Elements Cave Heaven to prolong their life span, so that they will not leave the "Xuandu Zifu" "Then it turns into a pile of dead bones, but the length of the life span is directly related to the level of one's own cultivation. People with an ordinary state like Chu Zunliang have little life span, and they will inevitably look old.

On the other hand, Chen Mian, Nalan Xu, Lan Xuanshuang and others have higher cultivation and extended their life spans. Even if they are deducted a hundred years, they still have a very sufficient life span. Especially Chen Mian, he is the best among the pseudo-immortals, the most unfathomable person, and the youngest person.

Because of this, Chen Mian's residence is the most luxurious.

In his yard, there is a small lake. Although it is not big, it is a palace city with a very special status. Even the inner city, only the royal family of the Duke and Marquis can bring water into the palace.

Chen Mian is a nostalgic person. He does not like the Great Wei or the Great Jin, but yearns for the era of the Mingkong Empress and the Li royal family. He doesn't like the imperial city, inner city, and outer city structures like an imperial capital with a "convex" character, and he prefers the Xijing city with a 108 square yard like a chessboard layout. He doesn't like chairs, he prefers to sit on the ground or use a low couch.

So he asked someone to renovate a warm pavilion near the lake. He first replaced the floor tiles with wooden floors, and supported them with wooden pillars under the floor, which was about three feet away from the foundation. Walking on it would make you feel crisp. The sound is like a drum beat. The chairs and tables were replaced with low couches and low tables, and finally the majority of the wall facing the lake was changed to a sliding door. If it was summer, if you opened the door, a lake color would flow in with a hint of cool air. The cabinet is pleasant and pleasant. Although it is winter now, the lake is frozen and it is also of a different interest after the snow falls.

At this time, the door of the warm pavilion facing the small lake opened wide, and the cold wind blew in, and the two of them sat opposite each other.

One of them sat directly on the ground, his mind was casual and calm, and it was Chen Mian. The other person was sitting on the low couch, with a small table on it, with tea on it, it was Nalanxu.

There was still a faint moisture on the ground, which was Chen Mian's request. It was rinsed with clean water every hour. But strangely, in this cold winter, the pavilion did not freeze. After just rinsing, you can even see the water droplets on the floor clearly, and then slowly dry them out.

If you look carefully, you will find that these water vapors have not evaporated, but have turned into water vapor and lingered, making this place a "water pavilion", a water pavilion that will not be frozen due to the cold.

The kind will enjoy mountains, and the wise will enjoy water.

Chen Mian looked at the frozen lake outside the door and sighed, "The world is like a copper furnace, but there is no pure land."

Nalan Xu was silent.

Chen Mian said that the situation in the imperial capital has changed suddenly and has already reached the eve of the storm. And they were a group of poor people without tiles covering their bodies, and they could only face the storm and have nowhere to shelter from the rain.

After a while, Nalan Xu said, "What should we do?"

Chen Mian said: "I am in the situation and cannot help but sacrifice my life to live to death."

"It's so far?" Nalanxu was a little surprised.

Chen Mian said: "The rise and fall of the dynasty is not a sea of ​​corpses and blood. Don't say that it is us, even the immortals, if you are involved in it, you may not be safe and sound."

Nalanxu was silent again.

Chen Mian yawned and said, "If what I expected is right, the Queen Mother will be coming soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of footsteps on the hollow floor sounded outside the wooden pavilion, "dongdongdongdongdongdongdong" was like a light hitting a drum.

Nympho

If ordinary people cannot master the method, they can only stop at the innate realm after spending their lives. As they grow older, their qi and blood will fade away. Therefore, the elixirs such as "Blood Dragon Pill" in the world that make up for the deficiency of qi and blood are very precious. .

Such people cannot be considered as people who practice, nor can they be considered as people who practice truth, and they will never have the chance to live forever in this life.

The people of Ziyanshan obtained four bone staffs used by four great witches to kill Wu Xian in the Netherworld Valley, and learned from one of the bone staffs a secret witchcraft called "Body Technique", which can completely change. The body is somewhat similar to the true body of a human immortal, but not exactly the same.

After returning to the Imperial Capital, Ziyanshan decided to start practicing this secret method in seclusion after careful consideration. The requirements for comprehension and qualifications are secondary. The main thing about this method is to test one's character. After all, it is a complete transformation, and the pain is even worse than the pain of slow slicing. How many people can persist?

This is the danger of this method. If one cannot endure the thousands of pains during the practice, then one will fail and leave endless troubles. But we have to admit that this method is a shortcut to the end of the world.

The Imperial Observatory has been managed by the Confucian School for decades, and there are countless mysteries in it. There is a quiet room underground. Ziyanshan entered the quiet room alone and opened the formation. The entire quiet room was isolated from the outside world. Except for Ziyanshan in the quiet room and the old man Long who controlled the entire Imperial Observatory, no one could open it by normal means.

The entire quiet room was empty, with only a long bluestone as a bed, and nothing else.

Ziyanshanren sat cross-legged on the stone bed and began to circulate his own qi according to the method of "body art".

Unlike the human immortals who focus on qi and blood and acupoints, the "body art" of witch religion focuses on "bone", believing that bones are the branches and roots of the human body. After all, whether it is skin, flesh, or tendons, they cannot be separated from the support of bones. Without bones, it would really be a pile of rotten meat.

Wu Gu once dissected hundreds of corpses by hand and found that the number of bones of each person is the same. Adults have a total of 206 bones, 51 trunk bones, 29 skull bones, 64 upper limb bones, and 62 lower limb bones. Among them, the spine is the most important, connecting the four major parts of the trunk bones, skull bones, upper limb bones, and lower limb bones into one. There are a total of 33 bones from bottom to top, which just fits the number of 33 heavens.

Therefore, among the bones, the spine is the most important.

The first step is to cultivate the spine. After that, the four major parts of the trunk bones, skull bones, upper limb bones and lower limb bones are cultivated with the spine as the center. Each part needs to absorb a large amount of heaven and earth energy, and it will also be accompanied by great pain.

Ziyanshanren is not worried about the lack of vitality. The stone bed under him is made of ancient green jade under the ice of a hundred feet in the extreme north by the Confucian sages. It has the wonderful function of gathering the vitality of heaven and earth and the earth's energy, and finally forms a "lake". Immersed in it for cultivation, it is no less than an ordinary paradise.

Of course, for the cultivation of "body art", it is far from enough to have sufficient vitality. In addition, the practitioner's mind needs to be firm enough. While enduring great pain, he can still accurately operate the internal qi to temper the bones. This is also the biggest difficulty in practicing the secret method.

As Ziyanshanren began to operate the qi, his body gradually became transparent, and the blood, meridians, muscles, and skin gradually faded, leaving only pieces of bones. At first glance, Ziyanshanren seemed to have turned into a skeleton.

At first, he didn't feel anything, but as he practiced the exercises, Ziyanshanren first felt a numbness in his bones, then the numbness turned into itching, and finally the itching turned into a heart-piercing pain, as if thousands of ants were gnawing at his bones, going straight into his bones. This feeling is simply hard to describe in words.

Such pain was unbearable even for Ziyanshanren. His face instantly became distorted and hideous, and his ten fingers subconsciously grabbed the stone bed under him, but the stone bed was so solid that even he could hardly leave any traces, but his nails were broken and turned up, bleeding.

Then, a series of bone-breaking sounds came from his body, one after another, as if the bones all over his body were being crushed bit by bit. Just listening to the sound is enough to make people shudder, and the degree of cruelty and horror is even worse than the various tortures of the Qingluan Guards.

At the same time, it can be clearly seen that in Ziyanshanren's body, there are a lot of qi flowing rapidly along specific veins. The original bones are first broken into pieces, and then restored to their original state under the nourishment of qi.

This process repeats itself, and each time the bones are reshaped, the bones become deeper.

Ziyanshanren suddenly loosened his hands, raised his head and let out a wail that was not like a human voice. While venting his pain, he tried his best to keep his mind clear and not to waste his previous efforts. If he loses his mind at this time, allowing this qi to wander around in his body and reshape his bones at will, when he wakes up again, he will not have any human form.

The most taboo in practicing secret methods is to go astray, so when practicing normally, you have to divide your mind and fight against the fire in your heart. Although this stone bed is not a fairy object, it is the most yin and cold thing in the world. When a cultivator sits and lies on it, his heart fire is clear. Therefore, it helped Ziyanshanren a lot. He was never defeated by the pain, but persisted.
