Strange Stories

Chapter 492: Separation and Reunion

The armor of Lord Fu Chi was torn, and he was only wearing a simple robe draped over his body in a messy manner. His arms were filled with divine blood, and his body had slight scars. He also had an aura that made people dare not look directly at him.

He stood in the air, sweeping the surroundings with his spear.

Sweeping over the heavenly soldiers and generals, and sweeping over the onlookers.

The heavenly soldiers and generals in the distance didn't dare to move.

However, the God King knew that most of these heavenly soldiers and generals were soldiers in the sky. Because of their virtues and behavior, they were nurtured into gods by the incense of the human world below. Although they obeyed the orders of the Heavenly Weng, they did not necessarily obey only the orders of the contemporary Heavenly Weng, so he did not take action against them. Similarly, for those immortals who practiced in seclusion in the mountains and only came out to watch the excitement once every one or two hundred years, the last time they met was two hundred years ago, and the next time they met might be another two hundred years later, or even there might not be a next time to meet, he did not pay too much attention to or make things difficult for them.

He just glanced to the south and took one more look at the man and the fox.

The mere look is intimidating.

Then there was a roar of thunder, and the God disappeared into the sky.

"I've finished reading it!"

"The demeanor of Lord Fuchi is still the same as it was back then! I'm afraid that even after another thousand years, there won't be another Lord Martial God more powerful than him in the Nine Heavens!"

"This is the first time I've seen this."

"Hey? Fellow Taoists! It would be fine if we don't get together on normal days, but since we are gathered together again, why don't you come to my place to have a cup of tea and chat for three days under the breeze and bright moon?" Taoist Qingxia was in high spirits.

"Okay!"

Taoist Bai Luan and Taoist Mo Yu both agreed.

"Senior, I won't go." Lin Jue bowed to him and said, "My cloud is really useless. It just so happens that I have left the mountain today and the wind is on my way. I will go to Yunzhou in the southwest to find a good cloud. In addition, I practiced in Qinzhou before I became a Taoist, so I might as well take a look at Qinzhou along the way."

"Alright! Take your time, fellow Taoist!"

"Fellow Daoists, please know that clouds are stable in the morning and fast in the evening."

"Thank you for reminding."

"Haha, why are you so polite..."

Several immortals smiled and quickly flew away on the clouds.

The rest of the onlookers also dispersed.

The thunderous drumbeats had long ceased. Most of the heavenly soldiers and generals in the distance stayed where they were. A few of them turned into rays of divine light and penetrated into the white clouds below, looking for the immortals and true gods who had been knocked down.

The fox was very clever. It took small, swift steps and walked forward in the air. Sometimes it looked left and right, sometimes it stopped and scratched its head with its hind paws, sometimes it looked up to see where the gods in the sky had gone, and sometimes it looked down as if it was watching the heavenly soldiers and generals moving under the clouds. It sniffed here and there, just like a wild beast with the habits of a beast. When it smelled something different, it amused itself in the open space and satisfied its curiosity.

The air was filled with the complex spiritual charm left over from the recent battle, as well as scattered divine power and mystery, mixed with the aroma of incense from gods and the scattered essence of souls.

There is also the purest and clearest essence and energy.

These things are rapidly dissipating and returning to heaven and earth.

"To separate and reunite..."

Lin Jue moved his lips slightly and spoke to it using the telepathic technique.

The fox twitched its ears and ignored him.

Suddenly, I found a breath of fresh air in the air.

The fox opened his mouth, yawned, looked around, and took a long breath.

"gone……"

The Taoist had no choice but to urge the fox.

The fox seemed reluctant to leave this place and was having a great time entertaining itself until it saw the Taoist walking away, then it turned around and chased after him.

"naughty."

Taoist Yunshang talked about it as if it was really just playing.

But I never thought that this sentence would cause trouble -

The white clouds gradually fly away, riding the wind for a hundred miles in a moment.

After leaving the area, the fox's rebellious nature came out and it began to express its dissatisfaction by repeating to him:
"naughty!"

"Did you drink it?"

"I drank it! I'm full!" said the fox, turning his head to look at him seriously, "Naughty!"

"That's just what I said."

"naughty!"

"..."

Unfortunately, this battlefield of the True Lord Martial God is too powerful and solemn, and it involves the dispute over the orthodoxy of the Nine Heavens Incense, so no one dares to approach it. Otherwise, if you only go ten miles forward, you might be in the range of the golden light, iron sea, and cloud and smoke barrier. However, these two spells sound like the unique magical powers of the Five Spirits God, and probably the owners of the ancient books have never collected them.

Fortunately, we have our own fox.

Be content with what you have…

Moreover, this "dispersion and reunion" skill is also very much to Lin Jue's liking. The magical powers of these great gods are too powerful, and his fox only has six tails and has not yet become an immortal. At most, he can only "drink" one skill at a time, and then he will be "drinking" enough. In this case, even if other gods and spirits died in the battle, he would be more likely to choose this skill among so many magical powers.

Firstly, although other magic spells and supernatural powers are powerful, Lin Jue either has substitutes or does not need them so much.

For example, the "Golden Light and Iron Sea" seems powerful, but if Lin Jue spends more time and energy on the "Mountain Pressing Down on the Top", with his current level of Taoism, he can really press a small mountain down on the True Lord, and the effect may not be worse than this "Golden Light and Iron Sea".

For example, the "Clouds and Smoke Barrier of the Years". If Lin Jue could comprehend the "Taking Life and Giving Longevity" to a deep level, the effect would probably not be worse than this. On the contrary, it would have the effect of harming the opponent and replenishing oneself in an emergency.

Moreover, "Mountain Pressing Down" and "Seizing Life and Granting Longevity" are both very suitable for Lin Jue to practice. The probability that "Golden Light and Iron Sea" and "Clouds and Smoke Barrier of the Years" are simpler and easier for him to practice and comprehend than the first two is extremely low.

As for the "Three Heads and Six Arms" and "Big Ruyi", even if he learned them, it would be difficult to use them in a fight.

When dealing with other True Lords, no matter how many arms he grows, he can't fight with them. No matter how many heads he grows, he can't kill them. No matter how big he becomes, he will just be a sitting duck. If he fights with other gods and immortals, he will definitely fight back against them and compete with them in magic and power. I think there will be few scenes where he will use them.

However, that "Golden Body" seems to be very powerful as well.

Secondly, this "dispersion and reunion" and "discontinuation and resuscitation" have a close relationship. When describing "discontinuation and resuscitation" in ancient books, they also mentioned "dispersion and reunion". The two are one for refining the body and the other for nourishing the spirit, one in the flesh and the other in the spirit, which complement each other.

There is also a sentence mentioned in ancient books: If one cultivates these two to perfection, one will be close to immortality.

Immortality...

It corresponds exactly to today's Lord Fu Chi!
It's just that the immortality between the two is obviously different -

The ancient books say "almost immortal". I don't know what the magical power of Lord Fuchi is. Lin Jue thinks that he should add "almost" to be rigorous. After all, he is not a true immortal saint. Moreover, even the saints of the alchemy path have fallen. And this immortality means that if you kill my body, it can grow again, and if you break my soul, it can gather again. Lord Fuchi's immortality means that no one can hurt my body or damage my soul.

The former obviously sounds inferior to the latter.

This is not difficult to understand.

The immortality of Lord Fu Chi can be called the supreme magical power. Even if the powers of "breaking and continuing" and "dispersing and gathering" are added together, it is difficult to compare.

However, in Lin Jue's opinion, there is still a chance.

"Breaking off and continuing" relies on vitality. If the vitality is endless, the body will not perish. The same principle applies to "dispersing and gathering again". There is only a slight difference between maintaining the vitality of the soul and maintaining the vitality of the body. The two are almost corresponding to the lifespan of humans and ghosts, but Lin Jue learned a skill called "taking life and giving life", which is related to vitality and lifespan.

"Break and resume, disperse and gather again, take life and give longevity, escape from the shell like a cicada."

The effect of these four combined may not be much worse than the immortality of Lord Fu Chi. If they are further integrated and continued to be comprehended, perhaps a supreme magical power can be realized.

That would be Lin Jue’s own supreme magical power.

"Ha ha……"

Lin Jue looked up and smiled, truly a man of contentment.

The fox next to him was still saying that he was naughty.

The white clouds flew farther and farther away, and lower and lower.

The Weishui River meanders right at your feet.

It is said that the struggle between the North and the South also spread to the Wei River. The gods in the river, like the Nine Heavens God, all took sides. The former Wei River God chose to help the North because of his old relationship with the northern commander. The Wei woman did not choose the Great Jiang court, but chose the King of Yue in the South.

Lin Jue lowered his head and looked carefully, trying to find the figure of his old friend, but he only saw the flowing green waves reflecting the blue sky and white clouds.

I think the position of the river god of the Weishui River will also be determined as the dust settles on the human situation.

……

Riding on the clouds to the west, I arrived at Yunzhou without realizing it.

The hardworking people have cultivated terraces with huge height differences between the mountains, which is a paradise that is no less than a miracle.

It is much warmer here than Qinzhou, and winter feels like spring.

There was no one on the top of the mountain, and even the local people didn't know when a small hut made of branches and thatch appeared.

A Taoist priest sits here all day long.

In the early morning, face the east to watch the sunrise over the sea of ​​clouds; in the evening, face the west to watch the sunset, waiting for a destined fairy cloud.

The white clouds that usually gather are indeed not enough.

If it were slower, that would be fine.

The biggest flaw is that it can only be ridden by itself and the fox. If it wants to bring its junior sister, Ziyun, the disciple who has not yet entered the sect, or the guardians like Wan Gong and Taoist Master Tao, it will not work.

A cloud with full spirituality can not only be ridden by oneself, but also can carry people, and one can even split a cloud from it and give it to disciples and followers to use. Even if they have not really achieved enlightenment by then, even if they have no idea how to ride on clouds and mist, they can still feel a bit of the fun of being a fairy.

Lin Jue didn't find this place specifically.

I just came here on a cloud, not knowing where to go, I just wanted to fly to a higher place, and suddenly passed by this place, looked down and saw -

There is no farming in this season, so water is released to nourish the fields. Therefore, each terrace is filled with water. It was morning at that time, and the terraces filled with water looked like countless mirrors inlaid in the mountains in an orderly manner. They were as blue as the sky because they reflected the blue sky in the early morning, and each piece showed different green and red colors due to duckweed and moss, just like the palette of nature. Clouds were surging and rising under the terraces, and some houses were faintly visible inside. Their thatched roofs looked like mushrooms. It was quiet and peaceful. One had no idea how high the mountains were or how deep the clouds were.

Lin Jue flew down immediately.

It’s a good time to learn the new knowledge of “dispersion and reunion”.
