Chapter 80 Let's make a bet
Mu Qing opened her eyes and sighed slightly in her heart. There was a hint of disappointment and a hint of relief. It was very complicated, just like her current mood.
For a moment, Ruozhi seemed to see a hint of helplessness in Mu Qing's eyes, and couldn't help but wonder, but the next moment, Mu Qing's eyes became colder again.
"Brave and breathe, vomit old and bring new things to life," Mu Qing suddenly said.
If you are stunned, Mu Qing will continue: "Pure Qi is needed, and turbid Qi is spit out. If Qi gathers, it will be born. If Qi dies, it will die..."
Ruozhi hurriedly listened quietly, knowing that this was Mu Qing passing on his Taoism, and wasn't this Qi the thing contained in the "Sword Sutra" in his sea of consciousness? When he heard the same thing rashly, he naturally had to listen carefully.
"Look at the nose with your eyes, look at the heart with your nose, look at the Dantian with your heart".........
Mu Qing has been talking about this scripture for quite a long time. When Ruozhi came back to his senses from entering into meditation and listening to the sutra, the sky had already darkened.
A clear moon in the sky, shining brightly, illuminating the entire mountain without making it dark.
"Thank you..." Ruozhi stood up from the bluestone and sincerely saluted Mu Qing. To this day, the various questions that Ruozhi had when he was studying the "Sword Sutra" were explained one by one in the scriptures that Mu Qing had just now. Although some parts were still a little blurred, he had confidence that as time went by, his cultivation would not be a problem.
"You can call me Mu Qing, or you can call me Master. Xuan Min and I are disciples of the same generation," Mu Qing said lightly.
"Yes, thank you, Mr. Mu Qing," Ruo's way.
Alas, I didn't expect that after eighty years, you still lost the bet. Mu Qing sighed in his heart, "Practice yourself, and with the foundation laid for so many years, there will be no more doubts." As he said that, Mu Qing's body blurred and disappeared in the end.
Ruozhi knew that Mu Qing was leaving and let him practice alone.
------------
Ruozhi closed his eyes cross-legged and opened his eyes for a while, and sorted out what Mu Qing said to him today.
According to Mu Qing's explanation, those who practice Taoism in this world practice more golden elixirs, which is also the most orthodox way of cultivation in the Xuanmen sect. The so-called three thousand great ways will lead to the same path. No matter what your external practice is, you can always be inseparable from a golden elixir.
The division of realms popular in the world, from the initial foundation building to the virtual spirit, and then the harmony, is preparing for the most important step to condense the golden elixir.
Only after condensing the golden elixir can you practice other methods, such as controlling objects, which requires the power of the golden elixir to warm up the magic weapon; for example, refining weapons and refining elixirs, also requires the refining of the golden elixir fire. In other words, the golden elixir is the basis of all cultivation methods. The so-called golden elixir real person, the real person, that is, the cultivator who reaches the golden elixir can be considered a true practitioner. As for the Nascent Soul who goes up, it is actually just another manifestation of the golden elixir.
Of course, Ruozhi cannot walk this path because the basis of the golden elixir is to store spiritual energy in the dantian, transform qi into liquid, condense it with liquid, and form a golden elixir. However, Ruozhi is the most basic and cannot even absorb qi into dantian, so how can it be condensed into a golden elixir? This is why, the previous immortals only helped Ruozhi clean his body, but did not teach him the true method of practicing. At most, he only taught some of his secret techniques.
Until today, Mu Qing taught him another way of Taoism, swordsmanship, which is alone outside the Golden Elixir Dao.
The cultivation method of using swords to enter the Tao has existed since ancient times. Unfortunately, I don’t know why, no matter how advanced the sword cultivation is, it always stops from becoming an earth immortal, and you will not make any progress. A golden elixir cultivator will advance to the earth immortal and successfully transform into a god, and will be rejected by this world. After the ascension to heaven, you will naturally ascend to the upper realm. Legend has it that when you reach the upper realm, you will be able to live without age and be free forever.
But the sword practitioner is not like this. For some reason, after advancing to the realm of Earth Immortality, although his life spans greatly, he still has to overcome the extremely dangerous heavenly tribulation, but even if he succeeds in overcoming the tribulation, he cannot rise up the clouds and ascend. What's even more terrifying is that since then, he will pass the tribulation every ten thousand years. That tribulation is more dangerous every time, and in the end he can only be chopped under the heavenly tribulation and destroyed both body and spirit.
Someone has done statistics and it seems that no swordsman can persist in overcoming the seventy-nine wheels of heavenly tribulation.
Therefore, some people say that the laws of heaven and earth should be extremely numerous. If a swordsman can survive these forty-nine wheels of heaven, he will enjoy freedom and freedom from then on.
Some people also say that if you want to achieve immortality, swordsman can only find a way to leave this realm and ascend to the upper realm. Otherwise, no matter how many heavenly tribulations you can get, it will be useless.
As for these two inferences, which one is true or not, even the two who proposed the theory dare not assert, let alone the others.
Anyway, according to Mu Qing, so far, it seems that "no one" can survive the 7749 heavenly tribulations in a row, and no one has found a way to leave this world without lifting the clouds and ascending.
The last swordsman with a definite record seemed to have disappeared in this world three million years ago and then, the swordsman, or sword immortal.
When Ruozhi thought of this, he stopped thinking. Will he be able to walk through the sword cultivation method?!
Looking up at the sky, it was very strange. It was clearly a clear moon in the sky, but it was still in the night sky and there were still stars in the sky, flashing and flickering, which was amazing.
"This moon once shone in ancient times. People today do not see old friends sleep. If they do not enter the sword path, relying solely on some spiritual medicine given to me by Master Xuan Min, what can I do if I can prolong my life for a thousand years? In the end, I will turn into an ancient person. Who else in the world can remember me, and who am I?" Ruozhi murmured to himself.
------------
A blue light shone across the night sky and landed on the snow.
The man in white opened his eyes and said without looking back, "You are here."
"Yes," Mu Qing walked forward step by step, "You said that when he reached Qiancui Peak, I will teach him freely."
"Well," the man in white nodded and said, "Of course, that's true. After all, you are the only person in this world who can teach him." He paused and asked, "How is he?"
"Not bad", Mu Qing said simply.
"It's that simple," the man in white said lightly.
"I gave him a chance to choose again," Mu Qing said, "After all, sometimes, the more you know, the more painful it is. In the end, you find that nothing can be changed, which is the greatest cruelty."
After a while of silence, neither of them spoke.
