Reborn as a snake, creating a magic method in the real world

Chapter 105 The Big Dream Chunqiu finally has enlightenment

This is a strange story about a local person.

It tells the story of a woodcutter who came to Huoshan to cut firewood and encountered a Taoist temple deep in the mountain. He curiously entered it to explore. By the time he came out again, several decades had passed in the human world.

This story has been widely circulated in the local area. Some people say it is just a story, while others say it was directed and performed by the woodcutter and the old woman. It has been extended to countless versions and recorded by interested people. Later generations have different opinions on this.

Zuo Ci accidentally learned about it and found it very interesting, so he immediately recorded it in this book.

Seeing this, Ye Qin felt a stir in his heart and read this sentence over and over again.

Ye Qin couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Taoist temple in the mountains."

Previously, he came out of the Taoist temple and came into the mountains, and then met Zuo Ci.

Tomb paintings, elixirs, and anecdotes all made Ye Qin a little confused.

It's because these stories existed first. Ye Qin read them briefly after entering the tomb, and being in them, he was subtly affected, so he had a related dream.

Or does it mean that these things happened only after his existence?

Is he a cause or an effect?

This question has been lingering in Ye Qin's mind.

Is Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly or a butterfly dreaming of Zhuang Zhou? Is it just a dream, or is it...

Did all of this really happen?

Ye Qin's mood suddenly fluctuated, as if a small stone was thrown into it, causing countless ripples.

Based on what happened above, I already have a rough guess.

He summoned the origin of the white bones, and saw the white bones slowly condensing into shape in mid-air. He was still sitting cross-legged, holding the Dao Jue with his hands, and appeared holding the Shangqing Temple.

But this time, Ye Qin didn't find anything unusual.

Even the Shangqing Temple has become silent, and there is no more buzzing of bells. However, if you experience it carefully, you will find that there is a vague Taoist rhythm surrounding it.

Something seemed to have changed.

Ye Qin looked at the mural, his eyes fell on the small tripod next to him, then turned in a circle and looked at the Taoist temple in Bai Gu's hand.

There is an invisible thread that connects these things together. After pushing through the hazy white fog, the things in my mind gradually become clear.

"Could it be neither?"

Although Ye Qin didn't understand the cause and effect relationship, he had some understanding of the reasons why all this happened. Maybe all of this happened in reality and was not an illusion, but it was not time travel either.

To be precise, it may be a small projection in the historical years, or it can be called a 'fragment of the mottled years'.

This is a period of time that was intercepted from history. It is like a voice left in time and space, and it was left in this tomb by chance.

It is impossible to see or even sense it, and even modern technology cannot have any insight.

And tracing back to the origin, the cause of everything must start from that tripod, which has already planted a small seed for today's events.

Later, Ye Qin practiced in Zuo Ci's tomb, which deepened this fate. Everything was so wrong and fate dictated it.

The Feng Shui topography of this place is special, plus the energy of heaven and earth that overflowed when Ye Qin practiced, using the tripod as a medium, this wonderful experience came about.

Of course, the most important one is "Shangqing Guan", which is indispensable.

Ye Qin had never understood before that all the objects he had visualized had materialized expressions, but Taoism alone had no obvious effect of feeding back into his own body.

But after this incident, he seemed to have a vague glimpse of the doorway.

Taoist temples are equivalent to special passages and bridges. Based on this, they connect the mottled years, which is somewhat similar to the spiritual field.

Ye Qin can use this to have wonderful reactions with certain places and even people, just like this time.

In Zuo Ci's tomb, he practiced here, and there were things that Zuo Ci had used during his lifetime. The field continued to strengthen, forming a special magnetic field, and this led to the chain reaction that followed.

By a strange combination of circumstances, through the Taoist temple, he actually came to the era where Zuo Ci lived in another way, and met him to discuss Taoism.

Because it is a special spiritual field and a magnetic field based on Zuo Ci, this can explain why Zuo Ci can understand what he said in that time and space.

There was no difficulty in communicating between the two parties.

After understanding all this, Ye Qin was quite emotional. To be precise, this was not a dream, nor was it traveling through time and space. It could be understood as a projection of time.

Ye Qin has not yet thought of a specific word to describe it.

History is like a long river. It may have countless small tributaries during the period, but in the end, they all end in the same place.

The experience of Ye Qin and Zuo Ci discussing Taoism is equivalent to one of these tens of millions of tributaries, and it will not have any impact on the history that has already been formed.

"Perhaps this is just a tributary of a short period of time, or it may be a special spiritual magnetic field. The dream spring and autumn, it is difficult to tell whether it is true or false. Who can tell whether it is cause or effect?"

"Perhaps it was because of my appearance that this historical section related to Zuo Ci came into existence, but it was eventually corrected by the general trend; it is also possible that everything was just a dream, a section constructed by myself based on local conditions. "

"But no matter what, this experience is real to me."

As for the causal relationship, Ye Qin really couldn't figure it out. Would Zuo Ci in ancient times have seen him because of this?It is difficult for Ye Qin to know.

We can only wait until next time if there is a chance and this situation occurs again, we must explore further.

Ye Qin felt deeply in his heart. He had never looked at these murals before, but now that he looked at them, he realized how great they were.

The murals in Zuo Ci's tomb are full of myths and legends, and some depict the scene of the Qiong Tower and Yuyu in the nine heavens, surrounded by fairy mist, and traces of it can be glimpsed.

There are also magnificent overseas fairy mountains, where countless people come to seek medicine and so on, which represents the desire of the world at that time to seek immortality and seek knowledge.

In addition, there are some tomb paintings that record the lives of relevant people, such as the one Ye Qin saw in front of him, which depicts daily scenes.

Ye Qin was a little distracted when he saw it. This was what he saw before he was pulled into the special spiritual field, but he didn't finish it at the time.

The second half of the tomb painting is like a true portrayal of his experience, but there is no shadow of him in it.

Was Zuo Ci really waiting for him?

Or maybe this is just my guess.

It's a pity that Ye Qin doesn't have a clear answer unless he goes through his previous experience again and asks Zuo Ci himself.

Behind this mural, there are some daily realisms, such as a boy picking medicine, an old man meditating, etc., all of which seem ordinary.

At the end of the tomb painting, the old man is holding the cauldron as if he is refining something, his expression is full of seriousness, and then a golden elixir appears in mid-air.

Auspicious clouds suddenly descended from the sky, like a ladder to the sky. Soon an immortal came on a crane and carried the old man into the sky.

The tomb painting ends completely here, leaving most of the blank space, which seems a bit abrupt, as if it is left blank, leaving space for future generations to comment.

Reality and illusion are mixed together, making it difficult to distinguish between true and false.

Ye Qin remembered the life records about Zuo Ci in his later years.

Entering Huoshan Mountain to refine the Nine Turns Pill, and then finally finding the way to ride on a crane, but these are unofficial stories.

Some people say that Zuo Ci suffered from metal poisoning in his later years after taking too much elixir. Others say that Zuo Ci fell off a cliff in order to pick the magic elixir.

There are different opinions about Zuo Ci's later years. There is no clear evidence for these. They are just speculations of future generations. No one except Zuo Ci himself knows how he ended up.

Ye Qin remembered Zuo Ci's wonderful talk about the method of golden elixir. The octogenarian talked eloquently, and his mental outlook was not like that of a centenarian at all.

After learning that people are shackled by nature, there are too many mottled impurities in the body, and they already lack the innate spirituality, and they cannot achieve enlightenment at all.

Zuo Ci did not give up lightly, but instead found another way, placing his hope on the golden elixir, hoping to refine a nine-turn magic elixir that could ascend to immortality after taking it.

In fact, he did so in the end. In his later years, he went to Huoshan to refine the Nine Transformations Divine Pill and never returned, triggering many conjectures and discussions in later generations.

It also added a lot of color to his life history.

"Book of the Later Han: Biography of Fang Shu II" records, "This person rarely has the divine way."

Ge Hong's "The Legend of Immortals" says, "It can control ghosts and gods (understand the heavenly stems and earthly branches), and it can change and resist grain."

Zuo Ci's voice sounded again in Ye Qin's ears.

"Taking divine elixirs can make one's life span endless. He can be in harmony with heaven and earth. He can ride on clouds and dragons, and his upper and lower parts are so clear. Huang Di passed it on to Xuanzi and warned him, "This is the most important way. You must teach the virtuous. If you are not one of them, you will accumulate jade." Like a mountain, don’t tell me this way.”

<divclass="contentadv">In the end, I don’t know whether he succeeded in refining it.

According to Ye Qin, there is a high probability of failure, otherwise modern times must have already left the practice method, so why bother to develop it by yourself.

But his spirit is worthy of learning by future generations, and he left many books and things for future generations to refer to.

Although Zuo Ci studied the art of alchemy, he seemed to be particularly obsessed with it in his later years. He pinned his hopes on attaining the golden elixir and wanted to practice the nine-turn golden elixir. The reason for this is unknown to the world.

If, as Ye Qin guessed, he himself was the cause, does it mean that Zuo Ci was influenced by him?

But even if these things didn't happen, Ye Qin felt that according to Zuo Ci's character, sooner or later he would embark on this path and want to achieve his goal by refining the golden elixir.

Whether he was influenced by him or Zuo Ci was destined, it doesn't matter anymore. He will still reach the same goal by different paths and then embark on this path.

Destiny is full of uncertainty. When the gears start to turn, even the smallest events will play their own role.

Just like Ye Qin and Zuo Ci, a character who died a thousand years ago and a living creature a thousand years later, there will be no intersection at all.

However, everything went so wrong.

Zuo Ci's alchemy cauldron was obtained by Ye Qin and used to refine the elixir. This is the "origin".

Later, Ye Qin valued the Feng Shui and terrain of Zuo Ci's tomb, and practicing here was a "destiny".

The Taoist view of the original contemplation of objects is inspired, using this as a bridge of communication, and various media are added together to form a special spiritual field.

Across the distance of time and space, Ye Qin and Zuo Ci were able to meet each other.

Just like two parallel lines, suddenly there is a possibility of intersecting node, so the fate begins to cross at this moment, and a small bifurcation suddenly extends.

But it will not affect the final direction of the two.

Just like a large branch with lush branches, there will be countless forked leaves, which makes it appear full of vitality.

Zuo Ci's fate line has come to an end, and everything about Ye Qin's fate line is still full of unknowns.

Recalling what happened before, Ye Qin's expression was full of emotion, and he also understood something at this moment.

And this realization sublimated his soul from the inside out.

Cultivation can be improved through accumulated practice over time and through introducing Qi into the body, but it is difficult to improve one's state of mind.

To cultivate the Tao, you must first cultivate your mind.

His heart is so big that he can tolerate everything in the world.Be humble and accept the goodness of the world.Keep your mind calm and discuss the affairs of the world.Deepen your mind and observe the principles of the world.Set your mind and respond to changes in the world.

Compared with the improvement of cultivation level, the improvement of state of mind will be more difficult because the latter is elusive.

Unlike cultivation, when a certain amount of time comes, things will come naturally, and you can naturally improve. As long as you find the method, you will succeed sooner or later.

The state of mind is different, and no one knows what the so-called method is. There may be many kinds, or there may be only one.

It is said that Patriarch Bodhidharma attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree for hundreds of years, and his state of mind improved before he finally attained enlightenment.

This shows how important it is to improve your mood.

Previously, Ye Qin had been immersed in practicing hard, but he had neglected to improve his state of mind.

He always felt like something was missing. At first, he thought it was because of his insufficient cultivation. However, this experience made him feel suddenly enlightened.

It seemed as if the fog that was blocking the way in front of me was blown away, and I felt like my eyes and ears were clear, and I felt enlightened.

He solved Zuo Ci's doubts and also saw different things in Zuo Ci.

Although Zuo Ci did not succeed in seeking the Tao, his mileage in seeking the Tao was commendable. After all, his age and experience mattered here.

Ye Qin has only been practicing cultivation for six or seven years at most, while Zuo Ci has been practicing for nearly a hundred years. There is still a lot of truth in what he said, which is thought-provoking.

Now carefully savor the words discussed with Zuo Ci, and see the truth in the ordinary.

Often the more ordinary you are, the more extraordinary you can be.

'If you see less, you will blame more. This is normal in the world.Believe what you said. Even though Heaven has made it clear, how can people understand it enough to say it when they are under the fire? '

The less you see, the more strange things you feel. Similarly, only by broadening your horizons and mind, and accepting everything in this world, can you better understand its profound meaning.

Ye Qin's listening to Zuo Ci's teachings does not mean that he agrees with this view.

After all, his and Zuo Ci's starting points were different, but that didn't stop him from absorbing something useful to him.

He will never stop on this path of discovery.

Ye Qin doesn't know where his road will lead and whether he can successfully reach the other side, but he will not give up and will persevere as long as he still exists in the world.

Thinking of this, Ye Qin felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

The sublimation of his state of mind also led to the improvement of his cultivation. The faint Taoist charm has been surrounding him and never dissipated, gradually becoming solidified.

The original white bones also suddenly bloomed with a gleam of brilliance, constantly filling every bone from the inside out, and the dim tomb was also shining at this moment.

It seemed that even the Taoist temple in his hand was affected.

The edges of the ancient and damaged Taoist temple seemed to have been repaired a little bit. Although it still looked dilapidated and decayed, it looked much better than at the beginning.

At least under the shroud of this light, there is a bit of indescribable charm.

Countless light points gathered together, all surrounding the white bones, entwined like the Milky Way, looking like a dream.

There is an illusion in a trance that this is not a deep and dark tomb, but a paradise in the heaven above the nine heavens.

The originally faded tomb paintings also have a fresh feeling, as if the characters in them are coming to life.

The animals guarding the outside of the tomb seemed to sense something, and couldn't help but want to get closer to the tomb, but they controlled their instincts and did not go down into the tomb, so as not to disturb the existence inside.

The breath in the air made them extremely comfortable, and all the animals raised their heads, as if they were absorbing something.

In the midst of comfort, he looked deep into the tomb from time to time, but there was human fear and respect on the beast's face.

If someone enters the tomb at this moment, they will find a huge cocoon of light in the dim tomb, with dark green light flowing faintly.

All the energy of heaven and earth gathered towards the white bones, reaching an unprecedented concentration, so that a vortex was formed, slowly wrapping the white bones inside.

So much so that Ye Qin's whole body felt swollen.

The energy of heaven and earth continuously nourishes and fills the bones, and feeds back to the snake's body, from every scale to the organs, it can be said to be everywhere.

Countless warm currents poured into the meridians one after another, and even the blood seemed to become warm.

As the body temperature continued to rise, the swelling became more and more obvious, as if something was about to come out.

The bright red snake letter shook even more violently, and even its tail tapped the ground uneasily.

Inside Ye Qin's body, thousands of strands of Qi gathered together, and the air mass continued to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye, filling it with strands of gas.

It was like a thick cloud, and it had even begun to squeeze towards the heart next to it.

For the first time, Ye Qin felt that having too much innate energy was a bad thing. If this continued, other organs would definitely be affected.

We must find a way to shrink the air mass.

He carefully controlled his mental power and guided the excess Qi inside his body to evacuate to other places.

Thanks to his previous experience in refining elixirs and operations, Ye Qin can be said to be extremely proficient in controlling the details of his mental power.

The mental power was like a trickle, constantly guiding those innate energy, and soon the previous swelling gradually disappeared.

It's just treating the symptoms rather than the root cause.

The problem mainly lies in the air mass. Ye Qin was a little excited and a little surprised when he noticed the news coming back from his mental power.

"It seems the time has come."
