MTL - Pretending To Be a Holy Place, I Was Signed For a Thousand Years-Chapter 219 Lifeless Swamp, Beast Gate

   Chapter 219 Lifeless Swamp, Beast Gate

  Lingshu View, Zu Shitang.

   Zhang Ming woke up from the meditation, frowning slightly, as if he was in some kind of confusion.

   "I have found my way of spiritual practice, but why can't I succeed?"

   he muttered to himself.

   The goal of this retreat is very clear, that is, to cut out the third corpse of the self.

   And the idea of ​​​​this avatar is also very clear, that is, to cultivate the "Lingshu Sutra" and cut out the self of this life.

   But after meditating for many days, he was unable to cut out this corpse.

   "Forget it, let's eat something first."

  Zhang Ming took out the prepared dry food and supplies from the space in his sleeve, and he was about to deal with it.

   In fact, after cultivating to his current state, even if he does not eat or drink, he can still live for a few months.

   However, as a human being, he can't put down the delicacy of "food" for a while.

   While eating, he wondered where he had gone wrong.

   "The id, the id, that is to find the self and let it become a clone. Could it be that I haven't found the real id at all?"

  Zhang Ming roasted a chicken leg with real fire, stuffed it into his mouth and murmured.

   "But I...isn't that me?"

   The more he thought about it, the more confused he became.

  Thinking like this, he suddenly remembered some words from the previous world.

   I remember it was written in a book: "I've been with me for a long time, I'd rather be me."

   Is it possible to realize what the real "I" is only by finding the "I" that is dealing with oneself?

   Zhang Ming frowned.

   He still remembered that someone named Ding Yuanying once said: "You don't know you, so you are you. If you know you, you are not you!"

   Zhang Ming was slightly stunned, and then he chewed this sentence again and again.

   "I don't know me, so I am me?"

   At this moment, he was somewhat enlightened.

   "The reason why I can't find my self is because the existence of 'I' interferes with the appearance of 'I'?"

   Zhang Ming's eyes slowly lit up.

   He hurriedly swallowed the last handful of chicken thighs into his stomach, then sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.

   "Perhaps, when the current 'I' is completely silent, the real 'I' will recover from the body."

  Zhang Ming's consciousness soon entered a place of ethereal silence.

   Retreat is said to be a retreat, but in fact, everyone who retreats retains his own ethereal primordial consciousness, and is self-enlightened, awakened, and practiced.

   But as long as this primordial consciousness is awake, he will always be his current self.

   After entering the meditation, Zhang Ming did not stop, but continued to let all his spiritual consciousness return to silence.

   The reason why the "Indestructible Heart Sutra" is called "indestructible" is that the primordial soul, spiritual consciousness and physical body will always maintain a trace of activity and remain immortal.

   But what he is doing now runs counter to the "Indestructible Heart Sutra".

   He's trying to... Silence!

   The true essence of all immortal heart sutras stopped working with the blockade of spiritual consciousness.

   His body gradually receded to life, like a dead tree.

   Withered, withered, he was originally a luxuriant tree, but at this time it is a dead tree that belongs to silence, and when the dead tree returns to spring, it will eventually send out new shoots.

   was so silent, and soon, Zhang Ming lost all consciousness.

  There was only one young man sitting in the ancestral hall.

   His body was completely dead, like a corpse that had been dead for many years.

   If someone accidentally broke in at this time, they would have mistakenly thought that the Taoist priest Qing Hui had passed away.

   Just like that, day after day passed.

   Dust covered Zhang Ming's body.

   After an unknown amount of time, a tremor suddenly appeared on his body, as if a dead tree was trying to return to spring.

   Then I saw a pale green sheen lit up from its lower abdomen.

   That is the location of the lower dantian.

Zhang Ming once deduced his own road to the three corpses. The upper dantian is in his mind, where Zhang Xiaofo is located; the middle dantian is at the chest, where Zhang Xiaoyi is located; and the lower dantian is where the corpse of the future is born. land.

   Now, everything is being fulfilled.

   Next, I saw this pale green light flowing from him into the hall.

   Then, these rays of light gradually condensed into a mass of true essence.

   This is the appearance of a successful practice in the "Lingshu Jing".

The    True Essence gradually solidified and turned into a frozen solid, which was nurtured by aura, and occasionally bloomed with a light green luster.

   Then, I don’t know how long it took.

  The frozen solid edges and corners gradually fell off, forming the appearance of a Taoist standing quietly.

   Look at the calm eyes, like Zhang Ming when he was just practicing Taoism.

  An ice sculpture, and a dead body sitting cross-legged, are just opposite.

   One day, a beam of light shone from the edge of the window on the ice sculpture in the Patriarch's Hall. It seemed to feel the warm light, and suddenly a flame burned itself.

   An inch of ice melted in the firelight.

   These kinds of visions are very similar to the process of cultivating to the Yangshen realm from the realm of unity.

  Return to one to shape life, transform into a sculpture of life, cultivate life, and then break out of the ice, life is born from fire, and soul is refined into god.

   This **** is the primordial spirit!

   I saw a man wearing a blue Taoist robe in the firelight, and his face slowly emerged.

   His eyes are as quiet as a galaxy, as if after years, he sees the clouds in this world.

   "Friend, thank you for letting me come to this world."

   Qingpao Taoist stood silently for a moment, then suddenly bowed respectfully to the first dead corpse sitting cross-legged.

  Unfortunately, the other party did not respond at all.

He immediately stopped tangled, smiled softly: "Since I came from the Lingshu Sutra, you are just a mortal in this world, seeing the way of this world, walking the way of this world, I will be called Zhang Xiaofan from now on. "

   As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a ray of light emerging from the lower abdomen of the dead corpse, pouring into his body.

   The green robe rippling, as if from the void to the real.

  Zhang Xiaofan bowed: "Thank you, fellow Daoist, for your accomplishment!"

   Then, he turned around, walked towards the door of the Zu Shi Tang, and gently pushed the door open.

  The sun is shining outside the door, shining into the hall.

   "Qing...Qing Hui Daoist! You are out! Great, you are finally out!"

   Li Changshou's excited voice sounded outside.

  Then the Qingpao Taoist stretched his arm into the Patriarch's Hall and closed the two doors tightly.

boom.

  The moment the door was sewn together, only dead corpses were left in the hall forever falling into darkness.

   "Er Gouzi, poor Daoist is hungry, go to the kitchen and cook me something to eat."

   "Okay! Daoist Qing Hui, please go to Zhaitang and wait a moment!"

  Li Changshou's busy voice sounded in the Lingshu Temple.

  Everything seems to be on track.

   In the dark Patriarch's Hall, the words of Master Lu when he sat down and became a Buddha seemed to sound.

   "Hey! I didn't cultivate good fruit in my life, I only liked to kill and set fire. Suddenly, the golden rope was opened, and the jade lock was broken here. Hey! I don't know if I am a guest in my dream, but today I know that I am me."

  …

  At the junction of Dongling County and Nanchang County, there is no swamp.

  This is a well-known Jedi, not only filled with boundless swamps, but also filled with all kinds of terrifying monsters.

  Because the people who enter it are dead and alive, it is called the Swamp without Life.

   On this day, two uninvited guests were welcomed outside the swamp.

   "Master, is the Imperial Beast Gate really hidden in the depths of this swamp?"

   Bai Yao glanced at the boundless dark swamp, a little apprehensive.

   Although she is a snake demon transformed into a human form, she doesn't like this dark and damp place.

   It turns out that these two are Qingquan and Bai Yao.

   Among them, after Bai Yao cooperated with Lu Xueqing to go to the Scarlet Fire Demon Sect, he had already turned back and accompanied Qingquan to the location of the Imperial Beast Gate.

   The matter of the Demon Sect was handed over to Yin Xue, who cooperated with Lu Xueqing to investigate.

   Qingquan stood on the periphery of the swamp, and when he saw a vulture flying by, he couldn't help shaking his body, and he waved his hand into the beast and stamped it in his body.

   "Yiyao, we don't have to worry, if this imperial beast gate is really hidden in the swamp, it will definitely not be able to escape. Let this bald bird go over to explore the terrain first."

   said, he stretched out his hand, and the vulture flew into the depths of the swamp.

   And he found a clean place to sit cross-legged.

   His field of vision has switched to the interface of the vulture, and followed its gaze towards the swamp.

  Sometimes something wriggled in the damp silt, as if lurking in an unknown monster.

  There are trees standing in the swamp, and endless unknown aquatic plants, entwined like weeds.

Roar--

   Occasionally, a beast roar could be heard from the depths.

  The deeper we go, the more traces of beasts appear. Occasionally, some stingrays sprout out of the forest. When they see a vulture, they shrink their heads in panic.

   There are also bizarre monsters such as spiders with three pairs of compound eyes.

   Qingquan's heart moved, and he drove the vultures to control some monsters, spread out in all directions, and collected information together.

   Not long after, he finally found something unusual.

  I saw that in the very depths of the swamp, even the sunlight was blocked by the surrounding mountains, and where there was no sunlight all year round, there was a dark black palace.

  The outermost of the palace complex, there is a tower, which seems to be used to welcome guests.

  The three words "Beast Palace" are written in ancient characters.

   "Yes! It turns out that this is really the location of the Imperial Beast Gate!"

   Qingquan was instantly happy.

   As one of the three sects and seventeen sects of the Great Jin Dynasty, this Royal Beast Gate is both good and evil, and everything depends on the heart.

   And his disciples occasionally walk in the world, and they have their own styles, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they are not afraid of offending people.

   Even if you are a member of the three sects, they are not at all embarrassed.

  The ultimate reason is that they relied on the Jedi of the Unborn Swamp, and they blocked the vast majority of their enemies. They could attack and defend, which was the foundation of the door.

   Not to mention that the Imperial Beast Gate has raised countless monsters in the lifeless swamp.

  These monsters are even combined with the sect's guardian formation, which can exert ten times the power of normal.

   Therefore, they have proud capital.

   "I'll let the bald bird go in and see."

  Qingquan drove the vultures to fly into the gate of the beast with the thought of being careful and correct.

   However, immediately he felt something was wrong.

  I saw a disciple from the Imperial Beast Gate from time to time in the palace. They seemed to have spotted the vulture above and couldn't help frowning.

   "Which disciple's envoy is this monster, why is it so rude, and dare to hover above the sect?"

   "Hey, no, this doesn't seem to be the art of controlling the beasts of our beast gate?"

   "Not good! Could an outsider sneak in? Quickly, send someone to report to the elders!"

  “…”

   Soon, Qingquan's exploration acted alarmed the people at the Imperial Beast Gate.

   Before he could react, he saw an old man in a black robe suddenly appear in the sky, stretched out his hand, and split the vulture point into pieces.

   At the last moment of his death, Qingquan only heard an angry shout: "How dare you peep at my beast gate!"

   Then, sitting cross-legged outside the Lifeless Swamp, he suddenly woke up.

   Bai Yao, who was standing by the side, couldn't help but ask, "Master, what's wrong?"

  Qingquan's face was solemn: "I found the hiding place of the Imperial Beast Gate! However, there are countless monsters lurking around there, and there are many strong people in the sect. I am afraid we are not very good at attacking."

  Bai Yao was a little dazed: "What should I do then?"

  Qingquan paced twice, unusually calm.

   "We'll hang around for two more days. Although the bald bird died just now, I still left a lot of monsters in the depths of the swamp."

   He pondered for a moment and said, "Wait for the teacher to let these monsters assimilate the beasts of the Imperial Beast Gate, and then we will fly directly to their station, and give them a combination of inside and outside, a thunderous strike!"

  Bai Yao remembered the last time they dealt with Ao Qi, the master of the Imperial Beast Gate, and had some understanding and trust in Master's ability.

   "Okay, then let's do it after Master has arranged it!"

   She was eager to try.

   Qingquan nodded and continued to sit down cross-legged.

   Then, I saw that the vulture just passed the offline control of the beast-guarding scripture, and sneaked towards the station of the beast-guard gate.

   In the middle, whenever he encounters a bit of a moving monster, he successfully controls it directly through the beast-guarding scripture.

   In the blink of an eye, the offline contact and then offline, the monsters in the depths of the lifeless swamp were marked by him one by one.

   However, among them, there are many monsters controlled by the disciples of the Imperial Beast Sect, or some monsters guarding the sect. After Qingquan finished marking, he did not control them at all, but let them act as usual, so as not to startle the snakes.

   It took two days for such a secret arrangement.

   On this day, Qingquan finally opened his eyes happily and breathed a sigh of relief.

   "Yi Yao, I'm hungry for my teacher, let's get some food delivered by courier!"

   He grinned, his stomach was suffocating.

   Bai Yao saw his expression and knew that things were almost ready.

   "Master has worked hard, here, this is the plum cake I brought from Nanling City. I haven't finished eating it yet, so I'll give you some."

   She said and took out a bag of snacks.

   Qingquan glanced at it blankly, and said uncertainly: "It's been so long, hasn't it broken?"

   Bai Yao covered the bag instantly: "Master, I can eat it if you don't eat it."

  Qingquan didn't let it go, he hurriedly grabbed the bag, swallowed three or two mouthfuls, and hesitantly said: "Well, not bad, let's eat and drink, let's go!"

   The two of them played around for a while and then officially set off.

   They turned into two rays of light and went straight to the depths of the lifeless swamp.

   At the same time, someone in the Imperial Beast Gate had already discovered their traces.

In the dark palace, two disciples hurriedly stepped into it, reporting: "Elder Wu Xing, a disciple found the trace of the Taoist priest Lingshu Guan on the periphery of the swamp! According to the comparison, they should be named Qingquan and Yiyao. !"

The black-robed old man above   's eyes narrowed: "Oh? It seems that the two of them were the ones who spied on my beast gate a few days ago! I really don't know whether to live or die!"

   The two disciples bowed and said, "How should we deal with it? Please also ask Elder Wu Xing to show you!"

   Ao Qi, the gatekeeper of the Imperial Beast Gate, and the first elder, Fan Yuhua, both fell into the hands of the Taoist priests of Lingshuguan. Now the second elder Wu Xing is in charge of the overall situation.

   And the hatred between them and Lingshuguan is even more inseparable.

  Therefore, the black-robed old man waved his sleeves suddenly, and ordered: "Order all the disciples of the life-shaping realm, and drive the monsters. Let's go directly and take those two people down!"

   said, he stepped out of the beast temple first.

   However, at this moment, a disciple suddenly rushed over to greet us, shouting, "No way! Elder Wu Xing! Two rays of light flew towards our sect's position!"

   The black-robed old man paused and laughed angrily: "Okay! What a spiritual sect, I really want to die! The order goes on, and all the disciples will fight with this elder!"

   Several disciples bowed quickly: "Yes!"

   The next moment, I saw that the message was quickly transmitted to the entire palace complex, alarming the disciples who were cultivating.

   Countless disciples of the Imperial Beast Sect gathered in the square in front of the hall in an instant, all looking at the elder Wuxing above.

   And the black-robed old man was quietly staring at the rapidly approaching light in the distance.

   That's two Taoists from Lingshuguan!

  PS: I accidentally remembered that the people who attacked the Scarlet Fire Demon Sect should be Lu Xueqing and Yin Xue.

   But the chapter has already been released, and it can only be wrong, so I added a sentence in the text, Bai Yao came to join Qingquan after fighting the Scarlet Fire Demon Sect.

   As for Yin Xue's plot, I can only ask my friends to make up their minds. 4400 words to send!
