After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 568: Sudden enlightenment, breaking through to the late spiritual realm!
Tianhua Zen Temple.

On the high hill of Zuantianpo, a temple stands under the night sky.

The moon is bright, ancient trees are towering all around, and everything is silent.

It has been a cold snap these past two days. The mountains are extremely cold and covered with snow. The pines and fir trees are all white.

There is a natural pond next to the Zen temple. Legend has it that when Samantabhadra Bodhisattva rode an elephant to climb the mountain, he drew water from the pond to wash the elephant, so it was named the Elephant Washing Pond.

The two came to the poolside, just when the moon was bright in the sky. The moonlight was reflected in the pool, the water and the sky were one color, and the night view was beautiful.

Although I have been here before, this is my first time to see the night view.

This is "Elephant Pond Night Moon", one of the ten scenic spots of Mount Emei.

At this time, there were no tourists by the pool, and the water in the pool was as quiet and calm as the night in the mountains.

Chen Yang leaned forward. This was a hexagonal pool, not very big. It was indeed rare to have such a clear spring on a high hill.

The water in the pool reflected his figure, which was very clear in the moonlight. A chill blew in his face, and he couldn't help but shiver.

Yuanlong said, "Take off your clothes and go down!"

Without saying anything, Chen Yang took off his clothes and stretched his feet to test the surface of the pool.

I got goosebumps all over my body.

Only those who have been there know how cold Mount Emei is. It takes perseverance to soak in cold springs in the open air in the middle of the night.

Chen Yang circulated his internal energy to drive away the coldness. He made up his mind and jumped directly into the pool.

cold!
My whole body went numb, my brain seemed to have crashed, and there was a moment of blankness.

He just floated in the pool, motionless, for probably three to five seconds.

"There are often monkeys around here. I'll keep watch for you. Don't think about anything else. Just try to meditate. We'll leave before dawn. If you still can't get enlightenment by then, then there's nothing we can do..."

Yuanlong's instructions came from the shore.

Only then did Chen Yang feel his soul being pulled back, and he gradually heard voices in his ears.

His whole body was shivering, and his teeth were chattering, making a sound that seemed like they would catch fire.

He quickly circulated his internal energy and finally drove away the cold. His pale face regained its color and his purple lips regained their rosy color.

"Thank you for your hard work, Master."

Chen Yang thanked him. Time was precious, so he didn't say anything else. He just sat cross-legged in the pool and closed his eyes.

Yuanlong stood by the pool for a while, then went to sit cross-legged under an old pine tree not far from the pool.

The cold mountain wind blew on his thin body, but he didn't seem to feel the slightest bit of coldness.

Not far away was a forest covered with snow. There were a few monkeys on the roadside, poking their heads out, as if they wanted to come and see the excitement, but when they sensed Yuan Long's aura, they all backed off.

in the pool.

After the coldness subsided, Chen Yang quickly entered a state of cultivation.

Below the Xixiang Pool is connected to the underground vein of Mount Emei. It is located on the ancestral vein of Emei and its location can be said to be unique. It is probably difficult to find a second place like this in the whole of Emei.

Chen Yang quickly felt the earth energy in the pool.

This energy is quite similar to the energy in the pool in the Celestial Tomb in Si'e Mountain.

In other words, they are completely of the same origin.

The only difference is that the energy in the Elephant Washing Pool seems to be much more concentrated.

Ordinary people may not be able to feel it, but Chen Yang can feel it clearly.

He buried his whole body in the pool of water and tried to breathe in the water. Just like in the pool of water in the Tomb of Heaven and Man, the water poured into his lungs through his nose. Except for the initial discomfort, he quickly adapted to it.

The energy in the water quickly replaced Chen Yang's need for air. After breathing for a while, no more bubbles came out.

Although the water pressure in this pool was not as great as the pool in the Celestial Tomb, Chen Yang still felt the energy of the earth veins automatically drilling into his body.

Yuanlong didn't tell him what to do, but just asked him to take a bath, and Chen Yang started practicing the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head magic skill directly.

Actions like perception are of no use at all. Even if you try hard to perceive, you will end up being inferior. Some things cannot be obtained just by thinking about them. Enlightenment is more likely to happen unintentionally.

When it really comes to you, you can understand it even when eating or sleeping.

Since you can do anything, just practice. Chen Yang doesn't want to waste time.

At this moment, practice the magical skill of Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head, transform essence into Qi, Qi into spirit, and spirit into emptiness, the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head!
Draw out the energy left by the Black Dragon King, and continue to open up the spiritual platform along the route of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head Divine Art.

When practicing, you forget about time.

Chen Yang only saw that the value of mental power on the system panel was slowly increasing.

I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly I felt a chill in my heart and my mind entered a state of emptiness.

It was as if an invisible hand grabbed his soul and pulled his consciousness out of his body.

The whole person felt light, as if being surrounded by a cloud, slowly floating towards the sky.

He looked down.

I saw the Elephant Washing Pond, saw myself in the pond, and also saw Monk Yuanlong standing guard beside it.

Is this, entering a state of enlightenment?

It was just a flash of thought, and Chen Yang followed that wonderful feeling, his consciousness constantly rising.

The whole person was floating upwards completely out of control.

It floats higher and higher. It floats higher and higher.

Under your feet is the towering Mount Emei, and under the moonlight, the entire mountain is in sight.

The whole mountain is like an old man in meditation, sitting quietly.

Chen Yang had a strange feeling, as if he had merged with the entire mountain. He seemed to be able to feel the breath of every blade of grass, every flower and every leaf.

In the clear sky, a bright moon hung high, and in his sight, it seemed even bigger.

The moonlight sprinkled down, twinkling like stars. Chen Yang bathed in it, feeling so comfortable that he wanted to speak out loud.

His depressed heart was instantly opened at this moment. Under the moonlight, his soul was cleansed by a magical power. He could clearly feel his state of mind sublimating.

……

Under the pine trees, Yuan Long, who was also meditating, seemed to sense something and he looked up into the pond.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He looked up at the sky and saw the bright moon.

"The bright moon shines on the cold forest, and the ivory pond reflects the Zen mind. Little Yuanlong, who have you brought with you?"

A voice came from his ear. Yuan Long looked back and saw an old man appearing beside him at some point.

The old man was wearing simple monk's robes and a monk's hat. He was thin, with a long beard under his chin. His steps were light, and the falling snow left no trace.

"Uncle Master."

When Yuanlong saw this person, he quickly stood up and saluted with his hands clasped together.

The old man raised his hand and looked towards the Elephant Washing Pool.

Yuanlong quietly recounted what had happened and also introduced Chen Yang's situation.

After listening to this, the old man nodded slightly and said, "The descendants of Junior Brother Pang should be taken care of..."

As he was speaking, the old man came to the Elephant Washing Pool, sat down cross-legged, and began to chant scriptures with his mouth moving gently.

An invisible energy surged out from his body and flowed straight to the center of the Elephant Washing Pool.

In an instant, the water in the pool began to slowly turn.

The energy of the earth veins quickly gathered towards the center of the vortex.

……

Hanging high in the sky, Chen Yang was in a mysterious state. He was dazed and suddenly felt a sense of weightlessness. He felt an inexplicable suction force pulling his consciousness back to his body.

Enlightenment, is this the end?

He was still a little intoxicated by it.

I have had two sudden realizations before, and both experiences were wonderful. The whole process is often very short, so short that it may only be a moment, but after the realization, my state of mind will experience a huge leap forward.

The longer the whole process lasts, there is no doubt that the improvement in state of mind will be greater.

Of course he wanted to stay a little longer, but there were some things that he could not control.

I secretly thought what a pity.

However, at this moment, Chen Yang suddenly felt a buzzing Buddhist chanting sound in his ears.

While he was dazed, he seemed to receive a golden light from below, which lifted his falling consciousness up in the air.

buzzing...

All he could hear was the sound of scriptures being chanted. He couldn't make out what they were chanting, but it calmed Chen Yang's heart down immediately, and he soon returned to a state of emptiness.

The golden light supported its consciousness and it flew up again.

Continued!
Resonate with heaven and earth and achieve unity between man and nature.

At the same time, Chen Yang's body was also undergoing changes that he was completely unaware of.

In the sea of ​​qi, the fake Yin-Yang pill suddenly began to spin faster and faster.

The energy from the earth veins poured in crazily, and the fake pill began to vibrate slightly as if it was overloaded.

The vibration became more and more violent, and suddenly, a crack appeared.

Then came the second crack, the third crack...

In an instant, cracks appeared everywhere.

"Oh!"

In an instant, the fake pill shattered, and the yin and yang energies within it were suddenly released and dispersed into the sea of ​​​​qi.

The earth vein energy was quickly assimilated by the two true essences, turning into yin and yang energies, which entangled with each other in Chen Yang's sea of ​​​​qi, and then formed a vortex.

After a long time, the old monk stopped chanting, stood up and walked down from the pond.

Yuan Long rushed over to greet him. "When he wakes up, pass the [Heart Purification Mantra] to him, and don't bring any crazy people here in the future." The old monk said calmly.

"Yes."

A dark line crossed Yuanlong's forehead, as if he was not surprised. When he saw the old monk was about to leave, he hurriedly said, "Uncle Master, there is something I need to explain to you."

"Speak." The old monk's tone remained calm.

Yuanlong then briefly recounted the story of the Bamianshan Underground Palace and Xiao Sanhuai.

His purpose is also simple.

Several of the previous uncles and senior masters had all been in seclusion, so for the operation tomorrow night, only he would be able to take part. Now that this uncle has come out, wouldn't it be safer to let him take action?

After hearing this, the old monk turned his head and looked at him, "You two disturbed my practice, and I haven't settled the score with you yet, and you still want me to run errands for you and be your thug?"

Yuan Long laughed dryly, "If you are willing to take action, you must be more cautious..."

"No."

The old monk answered succinctly and impatiently, "I need to practice, I don't have time. You are nearly a hundred years old, can you take on some responsibilities and stop coming to me for everything..."

Yuanlong's face was full of black lines.

Although he had already expected this result, he still couldn't help but want to fight for it.

When I looked up, the person had already walked away.

"Uncle Master..."

Before he finished speaking, the old monk had disappeared into the darkness.

Yuanlong raised his hand, then put it down helplessly, with a bitter smile flashing across his face.

……

-

The sun rises, and the first ray of morning light shines into the mountains and forests, and into the Elephant Washing Pool. The white snow is shining with golden light.

It’s like the Buddha’s light shining everywhere.

Boom!
A bell sound came from somewhere and reached Chen Yang's ears from afar.

It was like thunder in my ears and a revelation to me.

In the Elephant Washing Pool, Chen Yang opened his eyes, his pupils were as deep as a dark pool.

My ears and eyes are sharp, and my mind is indescribably sharp.

For a moment, Chen Yang even felt that the world was different.

The whole person seemed to be reborn.

He quickly pulled out the system panel and took a look.

……

Name: Chen Yang.

Physical fitness: 8520/9000.

Mental power: 10220/10220.

……

The upper limit of physical strength has been directly raised to 9000 points. The current physical strength has increased by about five levels and has reached level 85.

Tempering the body is only incidental, while enlightenment is mainly about refining the mind and improving the state of mind.

The improvement in physical strength is basically brought about by tempering the body with the power of the earth veins. Although it is a bit exaggerated, compared with the improvement in mental strength, the gap is not small.

The improvement in his mental strength after this sudden realization was simply exaggerated. Originally, his mental strength was lower than his physical strength, but now, overnight, his mental strength exploded and exceeded his physical strength.

The spiritual platform also expanded greatly.

Not only that, because the capacity of his spiritual platform had grown, Chen Yang had already broken through to the late stage of the spiritual realm in the second half of last night.

Successfully complete the stage of refining Qi into spirit and enter the stage of refining spirit into emptiness.

In the sea of ​​​​qi, the fake pill has disappeared. Somehow, the two kinds of true essence, one yin and one yang, have blended with each other, and the energy of essence, energy and spirit has merged into one, forming a new true essence.

At this moment, there was only a pool of golden true essence liquid floating in Chen Yang's sea of ​​​​qi.

He also didn't know which one was more advanced, this golden true essence liquid or the two kinds of true essence, one yin and one yang.

But he knew that the true essence liquid in his sea of ​​​​qi was now under his complete control. It was not like the fake pill before, which was like a foreign object and could not be controlled by him at all.

This hidden danger should be gone.

Next, one will continue to refine the spirit and reverse emptiness, refine more true essence liquid, and then condense the three flowers of essence, energy and spirit. When the three flowers gather at the top of the head, it is time to break through the realm of creation.

Very close.

At this moment, perhaps because of the improvement in his state of mind, Chen Yang already felt that the realm of creation was very close, as if the pine cones on the pine trees by the pond were completely within reach.

"Crash."

Chen Yang came out of the Elephant Washing Pool and circulated his true energy to evaporate the water from his body.

Yuanlong handed the clothes to him and Chen Yang put them on quickly.

"How does it feel?" Yuan Long asked.

"Very good, better than ever."

Chen Yang's face was filled with joy, "Thank you, Master Yuanlong."

Yuan Long shook his head. "In future cultivation, don't just focus on chasing strength, but also keep up with your state of mind. Otherwise, you will repeat the same mistake sooner or later. The Elephant Washing Pool can help you once, but it can't help you a second time..."

"Master, I will keep your teachings in mind." Chen Yang bowed respectfully.

Yuanlong smiled and said, "Let's go. The sun is out and tourists should be arriving soon."

Chen Yang looked back and saw that the Elephant Washing Pool was still calm, as usual.

Unfortunately, it can only be used once.

"Master, who was that senior last night?"

On the way down the mountain, Chen Yang asked curiously.

Although he was in a state of enlightenment last night, his consciousness was in communication with heaven and earth, and he saw clearly what happened by the Elephant Washing Pool.

If it weren't for the old monk helping him, it would have been difficult for him to make such great progress on his own.

But when he woke up, the other person was gone. Is it true that one does good deeds without leaving a name?
Yuan Long said, "That's one of my uncles. He has a strange temper and doesn't like to meet strangers, so don't worry about him."

"Thanks to this senior's help last night, I was thinking of thanking him in person." Chen Yang said.

"No need."

Yuan Long shook his head. "We disturbed his meditation last night. He must be very angry. Maybe he will be scolded. We'll see each other again in the future."

Get scolded?

Chen Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

I became even more curious about this old monk who did good deeds without leaving his name.

……

-

At Baoguo Temple, many monks have already gotten up early and started their morning prayers.

The temple gate opens to welcome visitors.

Chen Yang didn't sleep all night, but he was surprisingly energetic.

In the Zen room, Chen Yang meditated to consolidate his cultivation. After a while, Yuan Long came to him again.

He took out a folded paper from his pocket and handed it to Chen Yang.

"Master, this is..."

Chen Yang took the paper, opened it and took a look. It was not a love letter, but a spell. On the back of the paper, there was a diagram of a practice.

Yuan Long said, "The [Purifying Heart Mantra] is not a unique skill. The monks in my temple recite this mantra when they meditate. It can purify the mind and calm the spirit. Reciting it every day can help improve the state of mind. If resentment grows, you can practice according to the diagram to resolve the resentment..."

"This……"

Chen Yang felt a little embarrassed as he was eating and taking things.

Yuan Long said, "Save people to the end, send Buddha to the west, you and this temple are predestined, if you encounter problems in your cultivation in the future, you can also come to the temple to find me..."

"Thank you, Master."

Chen Yang was sincerely grateful, but he was afraid that Yuanlong would suddenly say something and want to extradite him to become a monk.

But fortunately, Yuanlong did not say this.

……

Outside the temple, a Coaster slowly drove out of the parking lot.

Destination: Yacheng.

On the car were Qiao Hongjun, Wang Yuanchao, Zhang Zhaoyun, as well as six high-ranking monks in the realm of creation, Yuanlong, Yuanjue, and Yuanming.

Including Qiao Hongjun, there are a total of seven people in the Creation Realm who have been dispatched this time.

With Yuanlong, an extremely powerful warrior in the late stage of the Creation Realm, in charge, this lineup, to be honest, seems a bit exaggerated just to deal with Xiao Sanhuai.

Wang Yuanchao said, "I just got the news that Xiao Sanhuai's son Xiao Qinghua brought people to Shao'e City early in the morning. Xiao Sanhuai has also left his residence and is approaching Bamian Mountain. I'm afraid he is already going up the mountain..."

Qiao Hongjun nodded, "Just him?"

Wang Yuanchao said, "At present, there is a person traveling with him. I checked the information and found that this person is a casual cultivator from Geluo Mountain in Yuzhou. His name is Zhang Guohua. He is in the middle stage of the Creation Realm. His strength fluctuates. The specific situation is not clear..."

"Zhang Guohua?"

Qiao Hongjun's eyebrows moved slightly, "I think I've heard of it somewhere."

"I have heard of it."

Yuan Long said, "This person has a high level of attainment in alchemy. He calls himself a medicine maniac. He often tests medicines on himself and has developed a body of medicine. His physique is quite strong..."
