You have mastered the art of thunder and you tell me that it is in a strange world?

Chapter 276: Time as a Cage

The Three Corpses Method is well-known far and wide. Zuo Chen had been active on the Internet in his previous life, so he had heard of it to some extent.

Zuo Chen remembered that he had looked up information about the Three Corpses Method, which explained that there were two interpretations of the Three Corpses Method:

The first is the upper, middle and lower corpses, which are the three obstacles of human beings, namely stupidity, troubles and pleasures. After eliminating them, one can naturally glimpse the way to immortality.

The other refers to the past, present and future. The most famous of them is the Three Pure Ones, which are manifested in the images of three Taoists: a young, middle-aged and an old man.

According to the description in this introduction, this should be a mixture of the two Three Corpse Methods. It is both a method of ascending to immortality and the Great Way of Time.

Realizing that there was a high probability that there were methods that could be used to deal with the old monk Kuhai, Zuo Chen quickly flipped through the book and checked the contents.

Soon Zuo Chen discovered that the above skills were simpler than he had imagined.

The entire four-season method is divided into only four steps, corresponding to spring, summer, autumn and winter respectively.

This technique is not limited to swords. Knives, guns, sticks, fists and kicks can all be used to their full power as long as it fits the form.

This is a good thing for Zuo Chen, as it saves him from searching the streets for a good sword.

In the entire set of exercises, the spring and summer methods are still the areas that ordinary people can understand.

The Spring Method is a basic method of self-cultivation and Qi regulation, and perhaps some of the breath circulation in it is different from the Taoist scriptures. Zuo Chen tried to simulate it with real Qi, and found that the circulation method of this part is similar to the moment a flower blooms, and it can also slow down the passage of time around.

The advantage is that the technique itself is unique, but the disadvantage is that it is difficult to get started, and it is difficult to master this kind of fancy ability...

Not solid.

Zuo Chen could see that this Qigong technique was still very immature. It was probably because the founder's skills were not up to par and he took things for granted when creating this basic technique.

By the time it comes to the summer chapter, some basic Taoist magical powers have already appeared. The most magical skills are nothing more than the rejuvenation of plants and dead trees, the revival of dead trees, the revival of fallen leaves from trees, and the flow of raindrops from fingertips along the wrist.

Up to this moment, the prototype of simple time has been completed. It is not as effective as the "Flower Blooming Moment" that Zuo Chen uses specifically for defense, but it is more comprehensive and can be used for both big and small things.

Most of the people in Jijian Villa are stuck at this level and it is difficult for them to move up even a single step in their lifetime.

Looking further down, it is no longer a magical power that a normal mortal can display.

One needs a very solid foundation in true Qi before one can begin to study the Autumn Chapter. This chapter is also the thickest part of the entire booklet. It contains a wide variety of techniques and in addition to the cultivation content, there are also many cultivation experiences recorded in notes.

According to the Autumn Chapter, this chapter is already the mature part of this practice. After completing this chapter, it is enough to make the snowflakes return to the sky, the rivers, lakes and seas flow backwards, and if it is in the forest, it can reverse the four seasons. If it is in the mountains, it can make the stars and the moon return.

It can be regarded as a great and wonderful method.

Zuo Chen watched and praised it repeatedly.

There are delicate thoughts and bold assumptions in this wonderful method, which is enough to show how much effort the person who created this method put into this chapter.

Under the light of the silver moon, Zuo Chen seemed to see an indistinct nun sitting in front of him, preaching to him slowly. She was full of excitement, and she stretched out her slender fingers to point at the book, telling Zuo Chen what she was thinking and why she circulated the true Qi in that way.

Even if you have never met the person, you can still enjoy this sermon that spans the long history of the ages.

Just after reading this autumn chapter, Zuo Chendou felt that his mind was smooth and his grasp of the Great Dao of Time reached a new level.

Before he knew it, the moon was already high in the sky. Zuo Chen had also finished reading the entire autumn chapter and was in the process of digesting and absorbing it.

He estimated that it would take him about a week to fully grasp the contents of the Autumn Chapter.

The Great Way of Time is indeed more profound than other magical methods.

I continued to scroll down and finally reached the last and thinnest winter chapter.

Zuo Chen rubbed his hands and opened the book, intending to see what profound and brilliant ideas were contained in this winter chapter.

However, as soon as he turned the page, he saw a large area of ​​densely written words on the leaf:
“I failed, I failed, I failed…”

The densely packed handwriting almost covered the entire page, twisted and distorted, completely different from the beautiful handwriting at the beginning.

In the gaps between the words, Zuo Chen could clearly feel the author of this technique...

despair.

This?
What happened?

Zuo Chen frowned tightly and flipped through the book again hurriedly. Suddenly, he discovered that there seemed to be a stream of true Qi above the Winter Chapter.

Zhenqi has locked the Winter Chapter. If you don’t have enough ability, you will definitely not be able to open the Winter Chapter.

This blockade should be to prevent mortals, in order to prevent someone from inheriting her mantle and having their Tao heart shattered after seeing Dong Pian. For someone of Zuo Chen's Taoism, it is naturally useless.

The restriction was removed and Zuo Chen turned the page of the book.

Only then did I realize that there was almost no method of cultivation in the Winter Chapter.

There are quite a few blackened and crossed-out parts on the top. If you look closely, you can see that they are half-finished cultivation techniques, all of which were rejected by myself halfway through being written.

In the tiny gap between the blackened parts, there are some tiny words written, which are the self-perception of the creator of the technique:

“A huge shadow hangs over the Gate of Time. The further I advance, the bigger the shadow becomes.

"When I try to walk towards the past, I see a pair of eyes in every place, every corner, and every position. They are staring at me, spying on my every move." "When I walk towards the future, the wind is resisting me, the water is resisting me, the earth and the clouds are resisting me, all the attempts of the mortal world push me out of this period of time, and I am locked in this present called eternity.

“Before I knew it, I realized I had walked into a prison called time and space.

“No…no…no…

"There's something wrong with my training. This technique is definitely not like that!"

He has gone astray.

The handwriting is frantic and disorderly.

I didn’t expect that such an amazing and outstanding fellow Taoist would become like this.

Turning the page, Zuo Chen suddenly felt a gentle breeze blowing towards his face.

My heart followed my spirit and I looked up and saw a Taoist priest standing under the silver moonlight, looking up at the sky.

She stared at the sky, as if watching the moon change with the clouds.

As if she had noticed Zuo Chen's gaze, she turned her head slightly and looked at Zuo Chen.

Her face was shrouded in a thick fog, and her features could not be seen clearly, but her eyes were not covered.

Zuo Chen could see gentleness, persistence and stubbornness in Kun Dao's eyes, like a colorful girl with tenacity in her heart.

This is not a thought, nor is it a remnant. It is more like a shadow recorded in a book, with only the function of leaving a sound:

“Fellow Daoist, although I don’t know who you are, since you can see this message, you must be a person with great virtue.

"What I am going to say next may attract the attention of those with great supernatural powers. If you are not confident in your own abilities, just drive away this residual image of mine. This will prevent you from being contaminated by karma."

Having said this, Kun Dao was silent for a few seconds.

Attract the attention of powerful people?
Who is it? The third awakening?

Zuo Chen was really hoping that fellow Taoist would come down and fight with him.

After waiting for a while, Kun Dao's video continued:

“I have painstakingly studied the Great Way of Time for hundreds of years. The first half was extremely smooth without any difficulties. The Three Corpses’ method is profound and is enough for me to go very far.

“But the further I go, the more I realize there are too many problems on this avenue of time.

"Most of the cultivation paths, even if you can't reach the end, you can still see the bright scenery above the road. But on this path of time, I just feel that there is a haze all around. All the cultivation methods are wrong, and all the directions forward are problematic. All my efforts are in vain.

"I was depressed and self-destructive for a long time. I did a lot of absurd and foolish things during that time, but I won't talk about them now.

"Just when I didn't know where to go next, one night, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and I understood everything, and followed the long river of time towards the future.

"I found a high mountain in the long river of time. There was Buddha's light shining above. I went up the mountain road and found a temple on top. The temple had no name and there lived an old monk inside.

"The old monk is good at talking and has profound Buddhist teachings. I talked with him a lot and found that he is good at making wonderful Dharma. I stayed with him for three days and he was able to explain many questions. At that time, I felt that my mind was greatly smoothed and I even wanted to shave my head and become a nun and worship him as my master.

“But I didn’t expect that this old monk was the root of all evil.

"On the first day, the guests were all having a great time. I asked him why he was the only one in the temple, but he smiled and said nothing.

"The next day, he looked sad and sighed. I asked him what was bothering him and wanted to share his concerns with him, but he just shook his head and said nothing.

"On the third day,
“Before nightfall, I was thinking about becoming his disciple, but suddenly I saw him insert his finger into his heart, creating a huge bloody hole. In his chest, a surging black wave rushed out, sweeping me back to the original time.

“When I came back, my power had been reduced by 70%, and my life span was almost gone.

“I don’t know who that old monk is, nor do I know what that black water is. I only know that one day in the future, there will be a surge of black water that will swallow up the world.

“But I don’t have much time left to live, and I don’t even have time to tell others about this incident. I can only hastily write it down on the last page of the book.

“I don’t know what time point you are at. If it is before the Black Water disaster, please contact the big sect and take precautions in advance.

"If later...

“Perhaps killing that old monk can put an end to this disaster.

"I am ignorant and ultimately failed to become a great supernatural being or obtain the title of True Lord. I cannot help the world, so I can only entrust this important task to you. I only hope that you can stop that old monk."

Kun Dao bowed towards Zuo Chen, and his figure gradually disappeared in the moonlight.

Only a little glow remained and then disappeared.

Zuo Chen opened the book in his hand, and there was still half a page left of the winter chapter.

Look down.

Half of the Three Corpse Technique is written above.
