Chapter 259 The true and false are revealed in Xianyang Palace, and the dialogue sequence ceremony o
Jiang You looked at the people who seemed to have their memories forcibly restarted, and thought in his mind, "Although these pre-Qin Qi practitioners seem to have complete freedom of Western thought, this freedom is also freedom within a certain range. Once there is something beyond cognition, If it appears, it will be forcibly restarted!"
Jiang You and everyone went to Ge Yun's courtyard to start today's meeting.
Fortunately, the interference with the Qi Refiner's memory here was limited to changes in the city's environment, and the previous meetings were still preserved.
Everyone was enthusiastically integrating and optimizing the spiritual skills. After the last flaw was corrected, the spiritual skills were finally released!
Jiang You recited the last version.
At this time, everyone has worked together in the past few days, condensed their collective wisdom, and worked together to create this technique. At this time, they were all listening to Jiang You reciting it with enjoyment, just like watching their children come from scratch. Grow up little by little.
After finishing the memorization, Jiang You said, "Everyone, this is our final result. Are there any other areas that need improvement?"
"Hahaha, this technique has reached the limit of human power, and the remaining problems are no longer within the scope of human power!"
Everyone was extremely satisfied with this technique and unanimously agreed that there was no need to modify it.
While Jiang You was reciting, Ge Yun was writing furiously with a carving knife and a wooden board. At this time, he had completely recorded the exercises. After everyone passed, he presented the wooden board to Jiang You.
"Sir, this technique has not been named yet, sir, please give me a name!"
"This technique was created by everyone. It's inappropriate for me to name it. It's inappropriate!"
"What's wrong with this? Sir, you have given me the outline of this exercise. Without sir, how could we know the wonderful use of spiritual power? Sir, there is no need to refuse!"
When Jiang You saw that everyone wanted him to name the technique, he couldn't resist the kindness and had no choice but to say.
"This spiritual practice is the hard work of our Taisu Dharma Association. Why not name it after Taisu to remember today's grand event!"
"good!"
"Great kindness!"
Everyone was very satisfied with the name. Ge Yun handed the carving knife to Jiang You. Jiang You took it and with a wave of his hand, he carved the word "Taisu" on the wooden board. Jiang You's word was based on the Dongwang stone tablet. The momentum is extremely majestic.
Although Ge Yun's Xiaozhuan is not bad, it is only neat and elegant, and cannot reach the level of calligraphy masters. Although Jiang You's two characters are few, they play the finishing touch, making the whole "Taisu" stand out at once. 》shines brightly.
After the exercise was named, everyone decided to set up a Taisu Dharma Association organization. Everyone would get together regularly to communicate and discuss with each other to help everyone grow together. This wooden board with "Taisu" written on it served as the sacred page of the Dharma Assembly. The property is reserved and will be kept by Ge Yun for everyone.
This proposal was unanimously approved.
Jiang You became the master of the Taisu Dharma Assembly in a daze.
Just when everyone was getting excited, there was a knock on the door from the courtyard door.
When Jiang You heard this, he thought to himself, "The whole city is already empty at this time, why is there still a knock on the door?"
Ge Yun went out to open the door, and after a while he came in and said to everyone: "The people who came just now are from the palace. They tell everyone that the Chao Xian Meeting is scheduled for today's Shen hour (15:00-16:59), and someone will take us there. go!"
After hearing this, everyone got up one after another, saying that they needed to go back to shower and change clothes, and agreed on a time to set off together.
Jiang You also stood up together. It was already around one o'clock in the afternoon, and there was not much time before the start of the Chao Xian Association, not enough time to create another technique.
Jiang You was the last one to leave. When he was about to go out, he was pulled by Ge Yun.
"Oh? Brother Ge, is there anything else?"
Ge Yun's expression was a little shy at this time, and Jiang You was surprised to see it. He didn't expect to see such a coquettish posture on a middle-aged bald old man.
Ge Yun waited for everyone to walk far away, and then said to Jiang You. Jiang You listened to the big boss discussion at the meeting and also added a few words, saying that physical strength is actually a avenue, and there are many points that can be explored. Everyone If you are interested, you can think more about this aspect in the future.
Hearing these words, Ge Yun came up with a technique to temper his body. However, without Jiang You as the general outline, he had no confidence in his technique and was embarrassed to say it in front of everyone. If by then someone is unable to practice, wouldn’t it be a joke?
But he was unwilling to stop there, so after the meeting, he stopped Jiang You and asked Jiang You to give him some pointers on his exercises.
Jiang You didn't expect that there would be an unexpected surprise, and he immediately felt that the bald old man in front of him was so pleasing to his eyes, he was really his lucky star!
When Ge Yun dictated his technique, Jiang You's brows furrowed.
No wonder Ge Yun was embarrassed to let everyone know before, suspecting that the technique he had figured out would not work at all. His technique did focus on being unconventional and even a little whimsical.
Ge Yun's basic concept is based on Chapter 6 of Laozi's "Tao Te Ching": "The immortality of the Grain God is called Xuan Ni. The Xuan Ni gate is the root of heaven and earth. If it exists, it will not be used diligently."
Take the effect of immortality and the constant use of the roots of heaven and earth, and combine it with the "Huangdi Neijing": "In ancient times, there was a real person who lifted up the heaven and earth, grasped the yin and yang, and his muscles were as one."
Imitate the golden cicada's way of shedding its shell, breaking the barrier between life and death, thereby becoming a saint physically, living as long as heaven and earth, and becoming immortal.
This idea is huge.
When Jiang You heard the specific cultivation methods, he was shocked and dumbfounded. This was simply running on the road of seeking death, and there was a way to do it!
The barrier between life and death requires practitioners to break through life and death again and again. They must die first and then live. The death that Ge Yun said is not like Master Ciyun, who wanders around in the underworld and then returns to the sun, but is real. Although he died, due to the immortality of the Grain God, there was still a lingering vitality in the body of the deceased, and he was resurrected under the long-term nourishment of the Xuan Ni Gate.
At this time, when practicing the first level of this skill, Ge Yun conceived a total of nine levels of skills. The resurrection time of each level is longer than that of the first level. After his deduction, the first level can be resurrected after three days. The third level can be resurrected after three days. The resurrection time of the second level is three weeks, the third level is three months, the fourth level is three years, and the fifth level is 300 years. Just like the golden cicada, it sublimates out of the body again and again, constantly Become so powerful that even time cannot erase it in the end, thus reaching the realm of immortality!
When Ge Yun said this, he was already a little embarrassed. Jiang You smiled and said: "Brother Ge, you said you don't know the timing unit when you have conceived the fifth floor!"
After seeing Jiang You's reaction, Ge Yun knew that his decision of not telling everyone was the right one, and it was indeed too absurd.
But Jiang You still carefully recalled his limited knowledge of Taoism and told Ge Yun some later theories about yin and yang, hoping to inspire Ge Yun.
Ge Yun seemed to have some enlightenment after hearing this, and happily thanked Jiang You. Jiang You didn't know which of his words helped Ge Yun find his direction, but these were the boss's affairs, and he had better not get involved with them at his level.
The time soon came to half past two in the afternoon. Everyone waited at the door of the post house for a long time, but Jiang You still didn't arrive. They thought Jiang You had forgotten the time while practicing, so they had to go to his room to find him.
When they arrived at Jiang You's room, they found that the broken wooden board had fallen to the ground. There was no one in the room, and Jiang You was nowhere to be seen. Several people called loudly, but no one responded. Soon after, the people from the palace had arrived, and there was nothing they could do. , and had no choice but to follow that man to Xianyang Palace.
Everyone walked all the way to the palace, facing no one. Xianyang City was as quiet as a ghost town, but a few people turned a blind eye and there was no disturbance at all.
During the day, Xianyang Palace was not shrouded in gray fog. Under the setting sun, it looked like a burning flame.
In the middle is Xianyang Palace, with its majestic buildings and towering walls. In front of the front is a wall gate with pink ocher red mud. When everyone enters the palace gate, there are three corridors lined with river patterns, and water-marked white stones are built on all sides. The palace was not small in size. Everyone went deeper and walked through the palaces one after another, and finally came to the main hall.
You can see that the main hall is magnificent, with steep eaves under the two corridors. Sitting high on the platform, it looks extremely solemn and majestic under the setting sun.
A row of vermilion gates of the palace were open, and the setting sun shone three or four meters from the palace gate, while the rest of the place was in deep darkness.
In the darkness, a tall figure could be seen faintly sitting deep in the palace.
After the person who led the way in the palace took everyone to the front of Xianyang Palace, he bent back and took small steps to leave the place.
"You still don't kneel down when you see the First Emperor!"
A sharp voice came from the front, and everyone saw a smiling, white-faced, beardless man standing next to the platform in front of the palace, standing with his hands folded.
This person seemed to blend in with the scenery around him, and no one saw him for the first time without making a sound.
After receiving this person's prompt, everyone knelt down and bowed towards the palace.
Everything in the world is not the king's land, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers.
Although everyone is a Qi practitioner, they cannot avoid being polite when facing the First Emperor.
After kneeling down, the man standing below asked everyone to stand up.
"I am Xu Fu. I got the order of the First Emperor and went to the sea to visit the fairy mountains to seek the elixir of immortality. Although I have been through many twists and turns, I was lucky enough to live up to my destiny and seek the elixir of longevity. However, the elixir is a fairy that takes over the world and cannot be taken lightly. Qi, I need a helping hand to sacrifice to heaven!"
After Xu Fu finished speaking, he shouted loudly, "The Chao Xian Meeting is opening!"
As he stomped his feet on the ground, he saw a wave of air swaying around on the ground.
A golden light appeared in the hall. After the golden light rushed out, it flew into the sky and spread out, turning into twelve huge golden figures holding golden plates in their hands.
The golden men stood one after another on both sides of the palace. Only then did the Qi Refiners realize that a magic circle connected by golden light had appeared under their feet.
After Xu Fu ordered several people to stand at the development node, he took out a mudu from his sleeve and began to recite the sacrificial inscription loudly to worship the heaven!
Jiang You stood in the shadow on the eaves of a nearby palace, watching with cold eyes, taking in everything.
Jiang You knew from the beginning to the end that this place was the underground palace of the First Emperor in the gray world, and it was by no means a good place. This so-called Immortal Society must have hidden murderous intentions. Of course, Jiang You would not get involved by himself, but he could not get around it, so he left in advance. Come out and observe in the dark now to see what kind of medicine is being sold here.
At this time, he had confirmed that the man he saw fanning fire and making elixirs in front of the palace last night was the famous Xu Fu in history.
At this time, his hands were no longer covered with scales and had returned to normal.
After Xu Fu recited the sacrificial inscription, he threw the Mudu in his hand into the air. A golden light fell on one of the golden figures, which illuminated the Mudu and pulled it to the golden plate in his hand.
After finishing all this, Xu Fu smiled at the Qi Master and said, "Now it's up to you!"
All the Qi Refiners were still puzzled. How could they know these heaven-sacrifice things? They didn’t know what they were going to do.
Ge Yun asked directly: "Sir, we will naturally try our best to cooperate, but I don't know how to do it. I hope you can give me some advice!"
Xu Fu smiled and said, "No need to go to such trouble. I just need to borrow something from you?"
"What?"
"I'll lend you the lives of your Qi practitioners who practice day and night!"
"What!"
Everyone's colors changed one after another, and before they could make any move, the magic circle under their feet suddenly emitted a golden light. Several Qi Refiners became sluggish, and golden light spots kept flying into the air.
When Jiang You saw this, he wanted to take action, but he still forced himself to endure it. He kept telling himself that this was an illusion, that they had already been lost in the long river of history, and that this place was all fake!
Although Jiang You had only been in contact with the Qi Practitioners for less than three days, he still developed a deep friendship with these Qi Refinement Practitioners who were open-minded, pure-hearted, and innocent. At this time, when he saw everyone being killed, even though he I knew that the illusion at this time was all fake, but I still couldn't bear it in my heart.
"Fake, it's all fake. Don't forget, this is the gray world. It's not like we really traveled to the Qin Dynasty. The owner of this place has a very deep plan. This scene may be staged for you. You know, these people They turn into evil spirits at night, and even their memories are smudged at will, making them nothing but puppets. Don’t be fooled by the illusion in front of you!”
Jiang You kept warning himself in his heart.
But Jiang You suddenly thought, since these are all fake, why is the skill he obtained real?
These exercises have been repeatedly confirmed by Jiang You, and they can indeed be practiced. Isn't this true?
How to distinguish the boundary between true and false?
Our own life is made up of the time and feelings in our lives, so are the time and feelings I spend with them also fake?
At this time, Jiang You has fallen into the whirlpool of truth and falsehood.
Since ancient times, there has been a story about Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly. One day, Zhuang Zhou was sleeping on the grass and had a dream. In his sleep, he felt that he had turned into a butterfly. The butterfly was flying gracefully in the air, wandering around. He was so happy that he forgot his original appearance and that he had changed from Zhuang Zhou.
After a while, Zhuang Zhou suddenly woke up, but the dream was still clearly imprinted in his mind. He stood up and looked at himself, then thought about what happened in his dream, feeling a little confused for a moment. He couldn't figure out whether he was Zhuang Zhou or a butterfly.
Did he turn into a butterfly in his dream, or did the butterfly turn into Zhuang Zhou in its dream? I can't tell which one is real.
This story is widely circulated and everyone is familiar with it, but the matter is far from over here. The key point is Zhuang Zhou's reaction to the matter.
Zhuang Zhou was deeply touched by this incident. He felt that sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between dreams and real life in life. Dreams sometimes give people a real feeling, and in real life they can also make people feel like they are in a dream. Zhuang Zhou believed that everything in the world is constantly changing in this way, and life is also changing in this way.
Therefore, there is no clear boundary between truth and falsehood. Once something happens to you, it must be true and there is nothing false at all.
This is also discussed in the Buddhist scriptures. It is said that the Sixth Patriarch Huineng traveled to Faxing Temple in Yuyue Province. It was dusk and the evening breeze was blowing. He saw two monks meditating in front of a fluttering prayer flag. He heard a monk say: "The wind blows the flag." "Move" and another monk said, "It's not the flags that move, it's the wind that moves," but Huineng said, "It's not the wind that moves, it's not the flags that move, it's the heart of a benevolent person that moves."
This is the true meaning of the three realms of Buddhism.
Our material world always relies on people's hearts, that is, consciousness. If the world does not have the existence of "I", then the entire universe will no longer exist for itself. Then there must be "I" Only after realizing the consciousness of "I" can the external universe emerge from "I". This is also the saying that Taoists often talk about: one life is two, two is three, and three is all things.
Human consciousness, "I" is the one that can give birth to all things!
Descartes' famous saying in the West, "I think, therefore I am!"
Jiang You was in the midst of a battle between heaven and man. This information flashed rapidly in his mind, and he inadvertently understood the difference between true and false. His mind suddenly flew away, and there was no more entanglement in his heart. When he looked ahead again, When he was walking, he unexpectedly discovered that Xu Fu was looking at him with a smile.
He already knew Jiang You's location and seemed to be waiting for Jiang You's decision.
After Jiang You found out, he was not afraid. He burst into laughter and rushed out from the eaves to come to the Qi Practitioners.
The bodies of several people were already extremely dim as golden light continued to fly by. However, no matter what methods they used, they could not escape from this place. When they saw Jiang You's arrival, they immediately said quickly: "Sir, leave quickly. I'll wait for you." We can’t escape anymore, don’t get entangled here, leave quickly!”
Jiang You laughed loudly and said: "I am the master of the Taisu Dharma Assembly. How can I see my friends in danger and avoid fighting and run away?"
As he spoke, he punched out. As soon as the peak of his fist came into contact with the golden light, he immediately felt that the world changed drastically. The originally bloody setting sun disappeared, and the sky once again turned back to the dark red and gloomy look of the gray world. Everyone in front of them disappeared, and the golden light and the twelve golden people turned into black demonic energy.
At this time, he was standing on a tray in the hands of a golden man, and the black pill that he had been pursuing, which had transformed from Feizhizong, was suspended in front of him!
When Jiang You saw this, his eyes flashed with white light, and he immediately turned to look at the place where Xu Fu was standing.
There, a zombie covered in blue scales and with a green face and fangs was standing there. When Jiang You looked over, black energy was coming out from his body. He saw that within three feet of it, the bloody sunset appeared again, and the zombie with a ferocious face appeared again. He once again turned into the white-faced and beardless Xu Fu!
"You can find the only way out of my illusory formation. Even with his help secretly, I am proud of you! You are truly worthy of me!"
This was the first time Jiang You encountered someone who was conscious and able to communicate in the gray world. Although his method was extremely special, as if he had retained a piece of history in himself, and he was talking to Jiang You across endless time and space. This was enough to make Jiang You's mind sway.
"Are you really Xu Fu? What is the purpose of this place? What you said is true. Are you talking about Jiang You, or someone else? Who is helping me secretly?"
Jiang You seized the opportunity to ask a series of questions that had been plaguing his heart. Xu Fu's methods were extremely terrifying, no different from an immortal. It was a rare opportunity to have a conversation. Jiang You had to ask questions whether he could do it or not.
Xu Fu smiled at him, his smile was unpredictable, "When you know who you are, you will naturally have answers to these questions. Even if I tell you now, how do you know that I am not lying to you? Even if I am not lying to you, You, how do you know that what I said is right or that it is the whole story?
After all, I am just a mortal! "
Xu Fu actually claimed that he was a mortal at this time. Jiang You discovered that instead of answering his questions, this guy actually gave him more questions. The Riddler deserves to die!
Jiang You saw that he would not get the answer he wanted from Xu Fu, so he immediately began to observe his situation.
I learned in the illusion that these twelve golden people were used to sacrifice to heaven, and when I woke up, I was standing on this tray. Could it be that I was the sacrifice to heaven? If he didn't wake up in time in the illusion, wouldn't he be sacrificed?
Thinking of this, Jiang You couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Although the Emperor's underground palace was not like his usual, setting up chariots and horses for a life-or-death fight, it could be said that there was murderous intent at every step, which had almost nothing to do with strength. Once he did not make the right move, he could not help but break out in a cold sweat. If you make the wrong choice, you will be doomed. People who are not as lucky as Jiang You can always make the right choice at critical moments. After entering, you may not even know how you died.
Not only that, if I hadn't figured out what was true and what was false, I'm afraid that the skills I obtained in that illusion would also turn from true to false and disappear from my memory.
Only then did Jiang You finally understand what it meant to cultivate through false pretenses!
Xu Fu saw Jiang You's vigilant expression and chuckled to him: "Don't be nervous, my methods will only end here. After all, I am only a mortal, compared to those immortals and gods who sit high in the clouds and look down on the people." , you can only be a rat in the gutter, and you can’t do any small tricks that are too impressive. What’s in front of you is the Yin Ning Dan you need. Can’t you always make the right choice? Then let me see, this How will you choose again!"
Jiang You originally wanted to ask him how he knew about the promotion ceremony of his sequence.
But the space around Xu Fu began to distort.
A huge crack suddenly opened in the sky where he was standing, where the fragments of history had been plucked out.
Purple thunder fell from inside and struck directly on Xu Fu's body. Under the purple thunder, Xu Fu was instantly chopped into powder without the slightest resistance. The sunset there also began to dissipate, and was finally completely destroyed by the darkness around the gray world. Swallowed out of sight.
Seeing this, Jiang You felt a huge storm in his heart, "Who is taking action? Can Xu Fu be killed even after so many years? What kind of magical power is this!"
Although Jiang You was shocked, he also knew from Xu Fu's relaxed expression from the beginning to the end that Xu Fu did not really disappear. What was erased was just him in the fragments of history!
"Is the battle with immortals already at this level?"
Jiang You once again had a more direct understanding of the horror of immortal gods. Is even a terrifying existence like Xu Fu still a rat in the gutter?
As Xu Fu dissipated, the place completely returned to the dead silence that the gray world should have. Jiang You looked at the Yin Ning Dan in front of him and suddenly fell into deep thought.
Then Xu Fu knew that his promotion in the sequence required Yin Ning Dan, but he allowed himself to choose, what exactly did this mean.
Jiang You discovered that Xu Fu's style of fighting the enemy was not to fight, but to kill with words. This method was even more killing without blood. Just saying his last words put Jiang You into trouble again. A dilemma.
Yin Ning Dan is related to one's own sequence. Logically speaking, there is no need to think about it, just take it and get promoted.
But as Xu Fu himself said, how can he know that his words are right?
There is still doubt whether this thing is Yin Ning Dan.
Secondly, he said he was allowed to choose. Is there any other way he could choose? The conditions for sequence promotion are indispensable. This is the current basic consensus.
Xu Fu didn't have any magical powers. Just a few words put Jiang You in a dilemma.
Jiang You gritted his teeth. Those who seek the truth should sit upright on the purple lotus and be unable to be blown by the eight winds.
How could I be so helpless after just one word? He has collected other things needed for promotion, and only the Yin Ning Dan is left. Now it is placed in front of him, how can he give up!
Jiang You stretched out his hand and grabbed the Yin Ning Dan in his hand.
But as soon as the palms of Yin Ning Dan and Jiang You touched, they immediately slipped into the palms of their hands.
Jiang You immediately looked inside his body. He was possessed by a demon at that time because Yin Shuai's something similar to the Yin Ning Dan entered his body. Why is this the same thing? It's possible that this Dan cannot be touched with body.
If you were possessed by a demon in the gray world, it would be the end of you!
When Jiang You looked inside, he found that Yin Ning Dan was not causing trouble in the body like Yin Shuai, but was just lingering in his own Qi Sea.
Just as Jiang You breathed a sigh of relief, two objects flew out of the space ring on his hand, which were Jin Yangzhi and Demonic Candle Fruit.
After the two objects flew out, they also entered Jiang You's body, side by side with the Yin Ning Dan.
After the three spiritual objects were complete, they began to rotate in Jiang You's body. During the rotation, the size continued to shrink.
"No, the sequence promotion ceremony has been forcibly started!"
Jiang You found that things happened frequently when he entered the gray world, which was completely unexpected.
As the rotation of the three spiritual objects in his body gradually dissipated, he felt an extremely powerful and uncontrollable violent energy appearing in his body.
At this time, his hands and feet began to weaken, all his consciousness was withdrawn into his body, his spiritual spring boiled, his soul trembled, and his head became dizzy and became extremely heavy.
But Jiang You knew in his heart that the conditions for promotion were not fully met at this time, and divine substances were still needed. At the time when the thunder in the sky was unparalleled, the five yins turned to the yang.
I have already obtained the divine substance. It is in the space ring and can be taken at any time. When the sky is thunderous, I have no way to judge this. I have been in the gray world for more than a year this time. Who knows what time it is now. ? The land of five yin and yang is what I need to find now!
While he was still able to move at this moment, he jumped off the golden man and looked around. He was in Xianyang Palace. Where could the five yin face the yang?
Just as he was thinking, he heard the creak of the palace door in front of him, and the originally closed palace door opened automatically.
"Xu Fu said someone was secretly helping me, is it possible?"
Jiang You thought of this and simply walked towards the palace.
