The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 124: Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head, the Dharma Eye Opens
"Ming Shilu" once recorded that the great Confucian scholar Wang Yangming was practicing qigong in the military camp in the middle of the night, and suddenly he let out a long roar, shocking the entire army.

Zhang Jiuyang once thought that it was a fabrication of the ancients, but now that he has succeeded in a hundred days, his Qi is circulating through his body, and the sound of it is like the roar of a dragon in a lake or the sound of a blue sea tide. What a pleasure it is.

It seems that the world is so big that there are no more constraints.

Of course, Zhang Jiuyang knew that it was an illusion caused by the sudden surge in magic power. However, he practiced the "Jade Ding Xuan Gong" and the "Zhongyang Zhenren Jinguan Yusuo Jue", and managed to hold on for a hundred days. His foundation was so strong that he was superior to his peers.

The second realm is complete perfection.

If it were someone else, they would rest their body and mind at this time and slowly reach the third realm.

But Zhang Jiuyang did not intend to stop there. Not only did he want to complete the 100-day mission tonight, he also wanted to break through to the third realm in one go, making progress courageously and unstoppably!
He closed his eyes again and silently practiced the third diagram of "Yu Ding Xuan Gong" - "Diagram of the Three Gates of Success and Defiance".

"The Tao gave birth to one, one gave birth to two, two gave birth to three, and three gave birth to all things. This is what is called following the flow to give birth to people and things. Now the form turns into essence, the essence turns into qi, the qi turns into spirit, and the spirit turns into emptiness. This is what is called going against the flow to become a Buddha or an immortal..."

"Those who refine qi and transform it into spirit, take advantage of this blazing fire power, drive the river cart, and flow upstream from Taixuanguan to Tianxue Valley. The qi and spirit will merge, and then they will descend to Huangfang. It is said that after Qiankun and Qianmu have intercourse, a dot will fall into Huangting..."

The so-called three levels are the first level, the middle level and the upper level. The first level is to refine essence into qi, the middle level is to refine qi into spirit, and the upper level is to refine spirit into emptiness. In fact, to put it simply, they are the three treasures of human essence, qi and spirit.

The third realm is called Small Zhoutian, and its key lies in tempering the Three Treasures with the Ziwu Zhoutian Fire so that they can form three flowers on the top of the head, becoming a great medicine for Buddha and immortal.

The fourth stage is called refining the great medicine, which is to refine the three flowers on the top of the plant into a golden elixir.

In other words, the third realm is to cultivate great medicine, and the fourth realm is to refine great medicine. The better the great medicine cultivated in the third realm, the greater the hope of breaking through the fourth realm.

Zhang Jiuyang used his heart as fire, trying to refine the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit into three flowers.

But despite his strong foundation, he still failed many times. He just gradually figured out some tricks and understood how to strike a balance.

After a moment, he took out a three-colored precious pill, the size of a sugar bean, which exuded a strange fragrance.

Three Treasures Ruyi Pill!
The elixir made from precious medicines such as Tai Sui, Mica, and Ganoderma Lucidum is specially designed to help people break through the third realm and can greatly reduce the time and effort.

Yue Ling asked someone to refine four of them. One was taken away by the prison guard, one was given to Lao Gao, and the remaining two were given to Zhang Jiuyang.

He swallowed one without any hesitation.

The pill did not melt in the mouth, but went down the throat into the stomach, becoming as hard as a rock.

hum!
Zhang Jiuyang's stomach suddenly made a rumbling sound like thunder, and his intestines seemed to be churning desperately. Finally, the hard pill cracked with a snap, and the medicinal power flowed out.

In fact, most of the elixirs used in spiritual practice are very strong in order to lock in the medicinal power. Ordinary people will not be able to digest them even if they eat them. Only cultivators have internal organs strong enough to digest the medicinal power.

In an instant, Zhang Jiuyang, who was helped by the medicinal power, felt refreshed. The three powerful medicinal powers intertwined in his body, nourishing the three treasures of the human body.

He harmonized the yin and yang energies, trying to maintain the balance between them.

Time passes slowly, the moon sets and the sun rises.

He sat by the pond all night again.

If there were someone here at this moment, they would see that all the perch in the pond swam to where Zhang Jiuyang was sitting and stayed there for a long time.

There were also various flying birds circling above Zhang Jiuyang's head, and there were insects and ants surrounding the ground.

Ali finally woke up. She smelled some fragrance and her saliva started to flow. When she opened her eyes, she found that the fragrance actually came from Brother Jiu.

"Huh? Brother Jiu has a flower on his head?"

She giggled. It turned out that there was a small three-color flower on Zhang Jiuyang's head at this moment. It looked a little unreal, but was gradually solidifying.

The flower exuded an endless fragrance, as if it contained the creation of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon, attracting birds and fish to circle around it, as if they wanted to eat the three-colored precious flower.

The medicine is ready.

Fortunately, there was a sword in front of Zhang Jiuyang.

The Demon-Slaying Sword was automatically unsheathed at some point, and the jade-red sword body was nailed to the bluestone in front of Zhang Jiuyang, emitting an invisible sword energy that made insects and ants fly around it and birds fly away.

It seemed as if everything in the world was Zhang Jiuyang's catastrophe for achieving enlightenment.

Ali became angry instantly, and her white skirt turned blood red, leaving small bloody footprints on the ground, like young plum blossoms.

Anyone who wants to hurt Brother Jiu, die!!!
Her resentment became even stronger, not only did she completely transform into a ferocious red ghost, she also seemed to have awakened some terrifying abilities.

As she got angry, the birds in the sky fell like dumplings, the bass in the water turned upside down, and even the insects and ants on the ground died in large numbers.

The courtyard was shrouded in an aura of death, and it seemed that even the morning sun above could no longer shine in.

In an instant, all the creatures that were lured by the three flowers on Zhang Jiuyang's head fled in panic, not daring to peek even a little.

However, there was one figure that was an exception.

It is invisible and formless, a very strange creature called the sky demon, and lives in moonlight or sunlight, so it is also called the moon demon or the sun demon.

When monks collect the essence of the sun and the moon to make medicine, they may encounter demons.

When a cultivator's elixir is just about to be made, it is more likely to attract demons to watch and wait for an opportunity to collect the medicine.

That's why Lao Gao sighed that the path of cultivation is like walking on thin ice. There are countless traps and disasters on each level, and as the level of cultivation increases, the danger becomes greater.

Going forward will make you a human being, going backward will make you an immortal. This is not just talk.

Zhang Jiuyang completed his work in a hundred days. His foundation was so strong that the three flowers on his head were also top-notch medicines, which attracted the attention of the demon.

That demon was extremely arrogant and went straight towards Zhang Jiuyang.

However, before it could stretch out its claws, its soul began to disintegrate, and countless deathly auras invaded its soul like an ocean, like some kind of terrible curse. The demon looked at Ah Li in horror and turned to flee, but after a few steps, its soul completely dissipated and turned into nothing.

Ah Li's body swayed slightly, and she knocked her head, saying depressedly, "Why do I feel a little dizzy?"

Qingji also woke up, but he just hid under a rock and trembled as he looked at Ah Li, saying timidly: "Second sister, you were so scary just now..."

Ah Li glared at it and said, "You useless thing, are you scared already?"

She looked at the bodies of the flying birds and swimming fish and said, "Don't waste them. Go collect them, pluck their feathers and drain their blood. I want to make a feast for Brother Jiu!"

Qingji looked at the blue and black corpses of animals that seemed to have died of poisoning, and couldn't help asking, "Second sister, are you sure... it will be okay for the master to eat it?"

Ah Li scratched her head and said uncertainly: "It looks like it can't be eaten..."

Qingji finally breathed a sigh of relief, thank God, his second sister was still rational after all.

But the next moment, Ali's eyes turned towards it.

"How about...let me give you a taste first?"

Qing Ji: “…”

The ghost and the demon stayed by Zhang Jiuyang's side until the sun went down. Before the last ray of dusk disappeared, Zhang Jiuyang finally moved.

The three-colored precious flower above his head was no longer illusory, but extremely realistic and solid, even swaying slightly in the night breeze.

Three flowers gather together!

The next moment, the three-colored precious flower disappeared into his Niwan Palace, where the Purple Mansion Spirit resided. Because of the nourishing power of the medicine, his brows began to itch, as if something was coming to life.

That is the third eye that has been sealed since ancient times and has degenerated and withered.

Zhang Jiuyang knew that the next step was the critical stage of opening the Dharma Eye. Whether he could open the Dharma Eye would be revealed soon.

To ensure that everything would go smoothly, he took out the Yinmo Luo Fruit.

This thing is shaped like a pine cone. After peeling off the outer skin, there is a slightly beating fruit core, which is light golden in color. It has no fragrance, but it makes people's souls move.

Zhang Jiuyang swallowed the fruit core immediately.

Unlike the Sanbao Ruyi Pills which require waiting to be digested, this Yinmo Luo Fruit has an immediate effect and melts in the mouth.

A cool feeling immediately rushed to his brows, nourishing his soul and strengthening his spirit. The feeling was so comfortable that Zhang Jiuyang actually felt like he was floating in the air.

But soon, this feeling disappeared.

Zhang Jiuyang only felt that the area between his eyebrows was becoming more and more itchy, as if countless feathers were gently scratching it, and something was trying desperately to get out from between his eyebrows.

He couldn't help but let out a cry and reached out to scratch it, but his fingertips stopped at the center of his eyebrows.

Because even though he didn't open his eyes, he could see his fingertips.

And it is extremely clear, even the pores on the fingertips are clearly visible, as if seeing through fire.

Not only that, he also saw Ali, Qingji, and the scenery within dozens of feet around him, with mountains, rocks, and plants all coming into view.

In addition, there is the resentment, death and yin energy from Ali, as well as the demonic energy and water energy from Qingji.

With a thought, Ali and Qingji seemed to be in slow motion, and I could see even the slightest movements of them as they spoke.

"Brother Jiu, it seems like you have an eye on your head!"

"Just like Sister Ming Wang!"

Zhang Jiuyang finally understood the magic of the Dharma Eye. All movements and changes within a radius of dozens of feet could not escape his Dharma Eye.

He saw his reflection in the pond.

Just as Ali said, there was a pupil-shaped vertical mark between his eyebrows, which was emitting a faint golden light.

However, although the Dharma Eye is amazing, it is very energy-consuming. After just a short while, Zhang Jiuyang felt a little tired.

When he put away his Dharma Eye, the pupil-shaped vertical mark suddenly disappeared, and he ended the strange state of seeing everything as if it were fire.

But to ordinary people, Zhang Jiuyang seemed to have a more awe-inspiring aura, and there was an invisible majesty in his every move that was hard to ignore.

That is the invisible aura brought about by opening the Dharma Eye. Even when it is closed, it still appears different.

Zhang Jiuyang sighed, this is just the Dharma Eye, if it is the higher level Heavenly Eye, what kind of magical power would it be?
However, he felt a little regretful. Those who swallowed the Yinmo Luo Fruit had the opportunity to obtain a kind of Buddhist magical power, but now it seemed that he did not trigger it.

But he soon let it go and smiled.

if I get it I am lucky, but if not, it is fate.

He has a visualization diagram with him, so will he still lack supernatural powers in the future?
Apart from anything else, he remembered that among the visualization pictures there was a picture of "Jigong Conquering the Dragon" and a picture of "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva's Infinite Merits".

As soon as he thought of this, he finally let go completely, his mind became clear, and there were no more distractions.

And at this moment, a Buddhist chant suddenly rang in his heart, warm and compassionate, as if containing infinite Zen meaning.

"Amitabha, good, good, although the donor's six senses are not pure, his mind is extraordinary and he can let go of greed, which also means he has a connection with the Buddha."
