Wet viviparity

Chapter 114: Legacy, The Lux Sutra
A pair of thickly calloused feet stepped on the grass covered with night dew, waded nimbly into the shallow water, stretched out the thick webbed toes, and stirred the cool water.

The water waves swayed gently, piled up on the round shell that was exposed above the water, and then leaked out.

"Life is like this, with its gatherings and separations!"

In front of the round shell that protruded from the water, a wet old man's head stretched out and looked at a figure on the rocky beach ahead with a look of reminiscence.

On the rocky beach, Ji Ming was not in good condition. His brand new Taoist robe had many scratches on it, and the palm poison on his shoulder had just been removed.

His pair of clawed wings hung slightly in front of his body, with rows of feathers on the wings spread out to both sides.

"Bi joins the army!"

Seeing the giant turtle swimming in the river, Ji Ming shouted.

The big turtle walked up to the riverbank, took out a confession book thrown into the water, and asked, "I wonder how many old stories you heard from the flying centipede monster?"

"Quite a bit."

Seeing that General Bi in the Jin Ni Water House was in a bad mood, Ji Ming felt something was wrong, "Is Jin Ni He Jun still here?"

"It has been moved away from other rivers."

Bi Canjun returned the confession to Ji Ming and said, "He Jun offended the Four Sad Clouds Temple and was only transferred to another place. This is already a fluke. In the future, you must not get involved in disputes among righteous monks.

"My friend, your confession is well written, but it is not a tool for communication. If the current Lord of the River saw it, he would be displeased."

"The current Lord of the River?" Ji Ming took the confession book and frowned. It seemed that after rescuing the celestial being, the development of many things was not so optimistic.

Bi Canjun took out three bags and said, "Jin Niehe Jun had already told me before he moved to another post. If you come one day, I will give you these things as his brother asked."

Ji Ming took over three small bags, two of which were storage bags with only one square meter of storage space, and the other was a bag for storing poison seeds for the five immortals.

He tapped the first bag and a box flew out.

There is a little bit of frost on the box, it is the stone box that can freeze life.

Ji Ming took a deep breath, then gently opened the lid of the box. Inside were small red and black eggs, neatly arranged, layer upon layer.

Seeing the densely packed centipede eggs, Ji Ming breathed a sigh of relief. Brother Jin Ni had indeed followed his instructions and used up all of his essence bag.

He turned over the poison bag again and found that the blood jade centipede in the bag was still alive, but dying.

After all, this blood jade centipede is only used as an egg-laying tool, and the meaning of its existence is only to continue the bloodline of the flying centipede in the previous life.

I don’t know if among the many eggs in the box, there is one that can inherit the flying centipede bloodline.

Ji Ming probed into the second bag and a bean flew out.

Sealed in this bean is a drop of liquor known as "one of the most poisonous in the world", which is the Zhenxing Immortal Wine brewed in the "Panqiu Mountain".

This was a deal made between him and Chiyi Langjun - one drop of Zhenxing Immortal Wine in exchange for twenty essence bags.

Unfortunately, he was in the northern branch of Liling Mountain at that time. The celestial being was about to be born and the fighting between the various parties was extremely urgent. He had to ask the Jin Ni brothers to handle the matter on his behalf.

With this drop of immortal wine, he was confident that he could cultivate a centipede immortal in a short period of time.

Ji Ming put away the box and the bean beads, and confirmed that everything in the bag was complete, especially the yellow sorghum pillow. Then he looked at General Bi and asked, "Which river was Jin Ni He Jun moved to?"

"The northern remnant of Liling is Liuya Mountain."

Ji Ming blurted out: "Is this relocation or exile?"

Military Officer Bi shook his head and said, "Having offended the righteous representative of Taiping Mountain, He Jun was only banished to that wild area, which is already a very good outcome."

"Offending him doesn't mean offending Taipingshan."

Ji Ming left a word, flapped his wings angrily, and flew into the sky.

A place under the shade of orchids.

Taoist Feihu sat cross-legged here, reading the letters sent from various places, some from Taiping Mountain, some from his good friends, and some from the secret agents of the Beiyun Temple in Heshan.

One of them was sent by the eldest disciple Xuan Jing, concerning the situation of "Shi Taisui".

At this time, a short and thin figure fell from the horizon, folded its wings and landed beside him. Even when it landed, there was no sound at all.

"My dear disciple, what do you think about Shi Taisui?"

Ji Ming took the letter that the Taoist priest had handed over, and saw that it said, "The flood in Panjiang River is suspected to have caused the emergence of a certain [堙], and the story of the Stone Tai Sui is indeed true." "Half true, half false."

"Oh!" The old Taoist said in a tone as if waiting for what to come.

"The blue-eyed woman said that the stone Tai Sui that the monk Fawen was looking for came out of the ancient city wall. But I think the monk Fawen is not strict in his words and his heart is not secretive. It is hard to believe that the old thief Su Luo would entrust him with such a confidential matter."

“So this is a trap for me.” Taoist Fei Hu closed his eyes and sighed, saying, “This is taking advantage of my eagerness to break through as my life span is drawing to a close!”

After the old Taoist sighed, he looked at his young disciple and asked, "The transformation has already reached his arms, and his wings have claws. It is indeed the transformation of the Black Crane monster. How much has your heart changed now?"

"Three-point change."

"You must transform your human heart into a demon heart before your whole body changes into a black crane. You should take the feather powder I gave you as soon as possible."

The old Taoist saw the hidden worries of his apprentice and said unhappily: "What are you afraid of? You have Heguan as your backer. Even if your heart is like a demon and your body is strange, I still have a way to save you."

"Do not believe?"

The old Taoist asked.

Ji Ming nodded slightly and expressed his doubts very honestly.

"Do you know who my Heguan Patriarch is?"

"Master Heshan, the fourth level of Golden Core."

"That's right!" When talking about the master, Taoist Fei Hu's eyes were full of pride and he smiled and said, "Then do you know how the small blessed land in the temple came about?"

Ji Ming thought for a while and replied, "Luoxi blessed land was the place where our ancestor brother caught the white dragon, it is a place of blessing.

Later, the founder's elder brother attained enlightenment and arranged for the founder to practice here. Although the founder was later taken to Yishan for practice, this small blessed land has become a witness to the brotherhood between the founder and his brothers.

When Heshan Patriarch established the Heguan branch altar in Hemingfang, his elder brother spared no effort to move the small blessed land here."

Taoist Fei Hu's eyes moistened as he recalled the past glory and said, "It's a pity that the founder of Heshan only lived for 500 years, or died early. Otherwise, my Heguan would be able to rule over the three Taoist lands in Guhezhou."

Ji Ming knew that the Taoist master was not bragging. After all, the founder's elder brother, "Immortal Ziming", had already reached the level of earthly immortal at that time and lived forever in the world.

But then again, having a brother like this and living for five hundred years is already enough to enjoy all the wealth and luxury in the world, and dying for another five hundred years wouldn't be considered a premature death, right?
Ji Ming asked expectantly, "So the backer behind Heguan is the Immortal Ziming?"

"good."

Taoist Fei Hu nodded heavily at first, and then said: "However, with the passing of our ancestor, the love we have for you has become less and less. Otherwise, I would have kept you with Immortal Ziming long ago, and there would be no need to send you to Zirong Peak in Jiheng Mountain."

The turn of events in the old Taoist's words made Ji Ming unsure whether to be happy or worried.

The good news is that this Immortal Ziming is indeed powerful enough and a real golden thigh.

What worries me is that this support is entirely dependent on the incense and worship of the ancestors, and I don't know if it will be effective at the critical moment.

However, looking at the look on the face of Taoist Feihu, it seems that just relying on this relationship originating from the founder of Heshan Mountain is enough to bring endless benefits to his own Heguan.

"Next, you should make a breakthrough with all your strength."

Seeing that Taoist Feihu finally remembered to care about his cultivation, Ji Ming lowered his head and quickly pretended to listen.

"In the three days, the method of cultivation has kept pace with the times, from the method of external alchemy to immortality, to the method of internal alchemy, and then the method of internal alchemy was obtained. Later generations of wise men emerged. Then they achieved the three steps and six realms.

"Refining Essence into Qi" is divided into two stages: nourishing Qi and refining Qi.

The first stage of Nourishing Qi talks about the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head, while the second stage of Refining Qi talks about the Five Qis Converging to the Origin.

You are stuck in the middle of this step. Once you break through, refine the true Qi, and enter the second level of Qi Refining, you can then refine your magic. Only then can you be considered a true immortal feathered guest.

"Refining Qi into Spirit" is divided into two realms: foundation building and golden elixir. The third realm of foundation building talks about the interaction between dragon and tiger, while the fourth realm of golden elixir talks about extracting lead and adding mercury.

I am an old Taoist who is stuck at the second step of the third realm of foundation building. If I can pass it, I can extend my life by another two to three hundred years, and even have a place in the Taiping Mountain headquarters.

The third step, "Refining the Spirit and Returning to the Void", is divided into the fetal spirit and the yang spirit, which are the fifth and sixth realms on the road to becoming an immortal. I, an old Taoist, do not quite understand the specific mysteries of the cultivation process."

Ji Ming listened with fascination. He had read about this in a book, but the feeling was completely different when it was said by the same master of foundation building himself.

"Regarding the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head and refining the True Qi, all I need is some practice. Once I reach Zirong Peak, I will be able to break through in less than two years."

Hearing about Zirong Peak, the old Taoist felt uncomfortable, but he forced a smile and said, "Good disciple, you should have this kind of ambition. When the time comes, I will teach you the Mountain Sitting Warrior Sutra from our sect's "Taiyi Jiabu Zhenfa". "
