The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 299: Sword Ball is in a Dead End, Wanting to Climb to Penglai

The so-called "Zhelong Shuidan Gong" is a very mysterious and profound Taoist sleeping technique, also known as "Zhelong Mian", which was passed down from the ancestor Chen Tuan who was praised as the sleeping immortal.

Taoist master Chen Tuan believed that sleep and concentration are very similar.

There is no thought or worry during sleep, and the state of concentration is chaotic, so "sleep" is called "similar concentration". If you practice according to the Dharma during sleep, you can naturally develop the power of "concentration", and then collect herbs and refine elixirs. The method is very easy and the effect is very quick.

His Sleeping Dragon Dan Gong has opened up a unique path of cultivation.

Generally speaking, monks call sleep the "sleep demon". They are afraid of falling asleep during meditation, so they sit in meditation all night long and force themselves not to fall asleep, which is called "killing the sleep demon".

The most famous one is the founder of Quanzhen, Wang Chongyang. After he killed the demon of sleep, he never slept again, but he passed away early at the age of 58.

However, Taoist master Chen Tuan believed that the innate great way is to do nothing and be natural. One can use sleep to refine sleep, transform consciousness into wisdom, and gradually develop concentration. The sleep demon will be killed by itself without any effort.

According to some Taoist scriptures, Chen Tuan and Lü Dongbin were good friends. Lü Dongbin admired Chen Tuan's sleeping skills very much, and the two often discussed Taoism with each other.

Therefore, when Zhang Jiuyang noticed the words "sleeping dragon" and "white cloud lying high" in the formula, he thought of the ancestor Chen Tuan, because Chen Tuan was also called Mr. Baiyun.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jiuyang's mind moved, and he tried to think of more sleeping skills.

Visualization diagrams seldom teach cultivation methods. The previous "Zhongyang Zhenren's Golden Gate and Jade Lock Secret" can only be regarded as scratching the surface. It is a method to subdue the white tiger and guard the mysterious gate. This time, the Sleeping Dragon Pill Technique is the cultivation method of the ancestor Chen Tuan.

But unfortunately, no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't come up with any words.

"Boy, what's wrong with you?"

Pei Yulong couldn't help asking when he saw that he looked a little absent-minded.

"fine."

Zhang Jiuyang shook his head and temporarily put aside the idea in his mind. He believed that once the incense accumulated to a certain level, he would soon be able to obtain the complete Zhelong Sleeping Pill Technique.

"You have to be careful not to leave any sequelae."

"You briefly lost your pulse and breathing before, just like a dead person. The girl almost wanted to fight me, but luckily you came back to life quickly."

"No, I'd better take your pulse again."

Pei Yulong put down the sword manual and personally took Zhang Jiuyang's pulse.

The current Zhang Jiuyang has a different status in his heart. He dare not neglect this young man who may be the reincarnation of his ancestor.

Zhang Jiuyang seemed to be thinking about something.

Have you ever died briefly before?

There is no doubt that it was because he saw the Zhuxian Sword in his dream and had a conversation with the blood on the sword.

However, this encounter was too absurd and bizarre, so Zhang Jiuyang did not tell Pei Yulong but began to inquire about some information indirectly.

"Senior, what exactly is the so-called Sword Demon Realm?"

The Sword Ball Secret Art is originally the orthodox way of swordsmanship, but when it is practiced to a high level, it will lead to the realm of sword demon, which looks too much like being possessed by a demon.

Hearing this question, Pei Yulong raised his eyebrows slightly.

"The realm of the Sword Demon is a difficult problem that all Sword Pavilion masters of all generations have faced. The sword ball technique is too fierce and sharp, and the murderous aura is too strong and it is harmful to the harmony of nature. Therefore, after practicing to a high level, it is possible to become a Sword Demon."

"So all the Pavilion Masters of all generations would return to the East China Sea after traveling in the world. One reason was to protect the Penglai Fairy Island, and the other was to avoid becoming a sword demon and harming innocent people."

"I have been in seclusion here for decades, honing my mind, dissolving my murderous aura, and gradually realizing the realm of the Heavenly Sword. Even if I become a sword demon, I can still maintain a certain level of clarity."

"But the prerequisite is that I won't reach the third level of Sword Demon, otherwise I will be completely lost and controlled by the killing intent."

At this point, Pei Yulong's eyes darkened and he sighed, "My master completely fell into the realm of the sword demon and couldn't extricate himself. In the end, his sword energy was exhausted and he died of exhaustion."

As he spoke, Pei Yulong opened his clothes, revealing a hideous and terrifying sword scar on his chest.

"That sword almost took my life, and almost destroyed the inheritance of the Sword Pavilion." Zhang Jiuyang looked at the horrific wound and his heart shuddered.

He finally understood why the Sword Pavilion had only one successor per generation. The first reason was that it required extremely high qualifications from the disciples, and the second was that the realm of the Sword Demon was somewhat terrifying.

The more disciples there are, the more likely it is that things will get out of control.

"Senior Pei, have you ever thought about..."

Zhang Jiuyang considered his words and said, "Is there a problem with the sword pill technique?"

Pei Yulong frowned and said nothing.

If anyone else had said something like this, he would have been unable to hold back and taken action long ago. After all, questioning the Sword Pavilion's techniques was to question the foundation of the Sword Pavilion's disciples' practice.

But the person who said this was Zhang Jiuyang, a man who had just activated the Zhu Xian Sword and had displayed a talent in swordsmanship that left him dumbfounded.

It is more likely that he is the founder himself!

After all, in his opinion, only the ancestor who created the sword ball method has the ability to mobilize the thousands of swords in the Sword Mountain to help and awaken the Zhuxian Sword that has been dormant for thousands of years.

"It seems that Senior Pei has also become a little suspicious."

Zhang Jiuyang's eyes flickered, and he said, "If my guess is correct, Senior Pei would have been able to enter the seventh realm long ago and make further progress in the way of the sword. He is just afraid of becoming a sword demon, so he has been stagnant."

Pei Yulong's eyes flashed with surprise, and he remained silent.

"It seems that I was right. Although the sword ball technique is powerful, the more advanced one is in practicing, the more likely one is to become a sword demon. Senior, have you ever thought about why?"

"That's because sword cultivators like us must not only cultivate our bodies, but also our minds. The moment we completely defeat the Sword Demon, that will be the moment we ascend to immortality with the sword!"

Faced with such heroic words, Zhang Jiuyang shook his head.

"Even the innate swordsman Bai Yunsheng has not ascended to heaven, otherwise how could he leave his magic sword in the sword tomb?"

"If even the founder of your sect can't do it, can this path really be taken?"

Pei Yulong was completely silent. He wanted to refute but couldn't say anything.

To the disciples of Jiange, the founder has supreme prestige. The three-foot-high Qingfeng travels across the nine provinces, and except for Guigu and Cangtian, he has never been defeated.

The blood on the Zhu Xian Sword was suspected to have come from an ancient immortal.

"Boy, what exactly do you want to say?"

Zhang Jiuyang smiled slightly and said, "Perhaps in the future, I can give you an answer and help Jiange solve this problem."

"You are quite confident in yourself?"

“I think the seniors have a lot of confidence in me.”

Zhang Jiuyang spoke eloquently, and even when facing a sixth-level immortal, he was not at all inferior.

He knew clearly his own importance. The moment he awakened the Zhu Xian Sword, he became an extremely special existence to Jiange.

"Tell me, sharp-tongued boy, what do you want me to do for you?"

Pei Yulong understood that this kid had been talking for a long time, going deeper and deeper, and even painting a rosy picture for himself, so he must have something to ask of him.

Sure enough, Zhang Jiuyang showed a brilliant smile.

"I want to see..."

"Penglai Immortal Island."
