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

Chapter 842 Huang Daolin breaks through Daozhen, Blind Pang’s consciousness!

hum!
Chen Yang felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and his consciousness became momentarily confused.

Within the Lingtai (spiritual altar) and its sea of ​​consciousness, the Lingtai wall, stimulated by the electric current, immediately began to tremble.

The medicinal properties adhering to the wall of the sac were instantly shaken away.

In an instant, the medicinal power accumulated by the Qiling Powder erupted once again.

The mental power was instantly amplified.

Chen Yang's face turned green.

A wave of waves has risen again.

He quickly summoned his golden body, and seizing the opportunity, opened the gate to his spiritual platform before his spiritual power surged forth.

The thunderous energy outside the door was impacted by the violent spiritual energy and quickly flowed backward.

Spiritual energy and thunderous energy exploded within Chen Yang's body in an instant.

Fortunately, Chen Yang also has the ability to multitask.

He quickly began cultivating thunder magic while simultaneously casting the Golden Body Dharma Form to rapidly dissipate the spiritual energy emanating from his spiritual platform.

Suddenly, a golden statue appeared in the pavilion, and it grew rapidly, eventually reaching a height of nearly two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters).

Under the cover of night, gleaming with golden light, the Dharma image broke directly through the Thunder Cave Pavilion.

Leidongting was already teetering on the brink of collapse after the recent lightning strike, with its lightning rod almost liquefied. Now, with the impact of the Dharma Image, it fell apart completely.

Rumble…

Leidong Pavilion, which had just been repaired and whose cement had not yet dried, collapsed once again.

Chen Yang's face turned green.

Doesn't this expose us?
If another bolt of lightning struck him, how could he withstand it? Wouldn't he just die instantly?

"Don't panic, don't panic. Circulate your thunder magic and deplete the thunder power within your body." At this moment, the voice of the Five Thunder Immortal echoed in his mind. "I don't know if you've noticed, but after that attack, the tribulation energy within your body has decreased significantly..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang took a closer look and it seemed to be true.

I was a little confused for a moment.

The Five Thunder Daoist seemed to have discovered a new continent. "If I'm not mistaken, the existence of calamity energy should be to mark targets and guide those who bear it to face the calamity. After the calamity is over, it will disappear. After all, it's impossible for heavenly lightning to keep striking you just because you bear calamity energy..."

Chen Yang felt that this made a lot of sense.

This might be the correct way to resolve the negative energy.

However, this lightning was incredibly powerful.

The amount of calamity energy within my body has decreased significantly, but there is still quite a bit left.

At this moment, although he was cultivating, he clearly felt the might of heaven again.

The lightning bolt returned after it had gone, clearly indicating that it had its eye on him.

"Your golden body should be able to help you withstand it for a while. Don't worry about anything else for now. Deal with the lightning power inside your body first," Five Thunder Master reminded him.

Chen Yang secretly groaned.

He can't feel the pain right now and doesn't know the extent of his injuries. The Thunder Cave Pavilion has also collapsed, leaving him without protection, so he has to withstand the heavenly lightning with his bare body.

Can my golden body withstand it?

"Shh!"

He took out the Mountain-Suppressing Sword, and with a slight thought and mental control, firmly planted it in front of him.

Consider it as a lightning rod, a second line of defense after the golden body and Dharma image.

Under such terrifying tribulation lightning, the Mo Dao (陌刀) definitely couldn't withstand it, but the Zhen Shan Jian (镇山剑) should be fine.

"boom!"

Thunderbolts struck again.

It struck Chen Yang's golden body image.

The Dharma Image collapsed directly, but it managed to block some of the lightning power for Chen Yang. Then, some of the heavenly lightning was drawn away by the Mountain-Suppressing Sword, so only one or two out of ten lightning bolts ultimately landed on Chen Yang.

Even so, it still gave Chen Yang quite a hard time.

Fortunately, he couldn't feel any pain, so he could focus on cultivating his thunder magic without any distractions.

At this point, Chen Yang didn't care anymore. He didn't care whether lightning struck him or not; he would just continue cultivating on his own.

He guided the lightning power within his body to impact the third, fourth, and fifth lightning meridians.

The effects of the Qiling Powder were still taking hold, releasing a large amount of spiritual energy, and the disintegrating golden body quickly began to rise again.

As the heavenly lightning entered his body, the calamity energy within Chen Yang's body was also rapidly depleted.

"boom!"

The third bolt of heavenly lightning struck, finally exhausting the calamity's energy.

At this moment, Chen Yang, who was in meditation, could feel the heavenly might that had been locking onto him disappear.

"Rumble..."

The thunderclouds, carrying immense divine power, finally dispersed after their triumphant display.

Lightning flashed in the sky, but no more lightning fell towards Leidongping.

Amidst the torrential rain, Chen Yang's golden body emitted a hazy glow; after its Dharma form dissipated, it no longer coalesced.

The spiritual energy brought by the Qiling Powder has been almost completely exhausted.

The effects of the medicine wore off, but the thunderous energy within his body continued to rage.

In the distance, the Temple of Thunder.

Xuan Jing glanced over here and, seeing the tribulation clouds dissipate, withdrew her gaze. Over here, Huang Daolin had just broken through and was still in meditation, his aura flickering and unstable.

Yuanlong, accompanied by several eminent monks, stood outside the hall, staring blankly in the direction of Leidong Pavilion.

They truly did not expect that the heavenly lightning would return and cause such a commotion.

Chen Yang hasn't broken through any realms yet, so why would the heavenly lightning strike him?
It's probably caused by a calamity.

"Amitabha!"

They all chanted a Buddhist prayer, but none of them dared to approach the Thunder Cave Pavilion, fearing that the heavenly lightning would strike again.

This is the residual lightning of a true tribulation lightning bolt; it's no joke if it hits you.

……

Time passed by minute by minute.

Chen Yang sat in the rain for about half an hour before the lightning power within his body was completely cleared.

The third and fourth thunder veins are connected, and the fifth thunder vein is partially connected.

Although he did not achieve full mastery of the Five Thunder Escape Technique by opening all five meridians, the first four thunder meridians were widened considerably, and the capacity to contain thunder energy nearly doubled.

However, looking back at his body, he was probably badly injured. His meridians had been torn apart by the lightning energy, and his skin was charred black from the electricity.

I just can't feel the pain. If I hadn't taken painkillers, I probably wouldn't know how much pain I would be in right now.

Chen Yang hurriedly took out a bottle containing the Blood Dragon King's blood essence.

I took a small sip.

This painstaking effort is truly appalling.

Chen Yang simply tilted his head back and took a big gulp, drinking almost half of it down.

Soon, the medicine took effect.

He quickly used the Five Observations of Food Preservation Technique to refine it.

Nourished by abundant true essence, the damaged meridians were rapidly repaired, and the charred skin quickly scabbed over, growing new skin.

The charred scabs on his face and body quickly fell off under the wash of the rain.

With his dantian full, the excess true essence was absorbed by the thirsty Taotie Gu.

"call!"

Chen Yang exhaled and let out a long sigh of relief.

This unexpected disaster has been narrowly avoided.

However, the calamity that had troubled him for so long was completely dissipated by this heavenly lightning.

This is a happy occasion.

Otherwise, if the tribulation energy remains within his body, it might actually cause a change in the heavenly lightning when he breaks through to the Dao True Realm, thus increasing the power of the tribulation lightning.

So this time, we suffered in advance as a precaution.

He focused his mind and spirit, but what he saw before him left him speechless for a moment.

One good news, one bad news.

The good news is that the Qi Ling San medicine attached to the Lingtai wall was completely depleted by the stimulation of the thunder energy that had previously invaded.

The electric current caused the dormant medicinal power to detach from the Lingtai wall, allowing the full effect of the medicine to be exerted, and there was no longer any risk of recurrence.

However, there was more bad news: his spiritual barrier was completely destroyed by the lightning energy.

Tearing marks are visible everywhere, with spiderweb-like cracks in many places.

Although the Lingtai wall is resilient enough to prevent it from breaking and has sufficient activity to repair itself, the self-repair speed is extremely slow.

Now that the Lingtai Wall has been damaged like this, when will it be fully repaired?
Chen Yang felt a chill run down his spine and a cold feeling spread through him.

How can this be done?

I'll ask Master Xuanjing later if there are any medicinal herbs in Emei that can repair the Lingtai wall.
Having thought of this, Chen Yang stopped thinking about it.

He guided his qi back to its source and opened his eyes.

The rain was still falling, but it didn't fall on him.

Chen Yang looked up and saw Yuan Long standing beside him, holding an umbrella over him.

"Grandmaster!"

Chen Yang quickly stood up.

Yuan Long nodded slightly, saying nothing more. "How is my uncle?" Chen Yang asked.

Yuanlong said, "Benefactor Huang has successfully broken through to the Dao True Realm. Martial Uncle Xuanjing is guarding him, so there is no need to worry."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the Thunder God Temple with Yuan Long.

By this time, the thunderclouds had completely dissipated, and the rain had gradually subsided.

……

Arrive at the Temple of Thunder.

Xuan Jing told them not to go in and disturb them, but Chen Yang only glanced inside from the doorway.

Huang Daolin sat on the prayer mat in front of the Buddha statue. His originally gray hair and aged skin had returned to normal.

After breaking through to the Dao True Realm, his lifespan was extended, and the five signs of decay in the celestial beings disappeared.

However, his aura was still fluctuating, indicating that he was still in the process of consolidation.

Chen Yang and the others were waiting outside.

Only then did Chen Yang truly breathe a sigh of relief, chatting and laughing with Yuan Long and the others, a smile finally appearing on his face.

……

In the middle of the night, Huang Daolin was still in meditation. Although he had broken through, he still needed to spend some time clearing away the backlash from the Nail Head Technique on his body.

"What did I tell you? I told you to find a place to hide, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what's happened..."

Xuan Jing came out of the main hall and went to the side hall, where Chen Yang told him about his current situation.

He had warned Chen Yang before the tribulation lightning struck, but the guy didn't take it seriously. Now that a problem has arisen, he's coming to him for help, which is making him quite annoyed.

Chen Yang gave an awkward laugh. "Master, do you know of any spiritual medicines or cultivation techniques that could help me repair my spiritual platform quickly?"

With his spiritual platform wall damaged like this, Chen Yang was very worried about what would happen next. Not to mention the trouble it would cause for his cultivation, once the painkiller wore off, he might be in excruciating pain.

Xuan Jing shook her head helplessly, "The medicines that can repair the spiritual platform are all extremely rare. In ancient times, there might have been a chance to find them, but now..."

Chen Yang's heart sank.

Yuanlong said from the side, "Uncle-Master, why don't we let him try going up to the Golden Summit again? The Samantabhadra Relic gathers the power of all beings' wishes; its energy might be able to help him repair his spiritual platform..."

The power of faith may indeed have the effect of restoring the spirit.

Xuan Jing had considered this before, but he had already broken precedent by letting Chen Yang go to the Golden Summit last time, so he naturally couldn't bring himself to ask again. Now that Yuan Long had brought it up, he nodded and said to Chen Yang, "It wouldn't hurt for you to give it a try, but don't have too high hopes. The energy within the relic isn't something just anyone can access at any time..."

"Okay, thank you, Master. Thank you, Master Yuanlong."

Chen Yang quickly thanked him.

It may not work, but at least there is hope.

It was still raining outside, but Chen Yang wasn't in a hurry. He would wait until his uncle woke up and was sure everything was alright before making any decisions.

……

-

Nothing more to say all night.

The following day at noon, Huang Daolin finally woke up.

"Uncle, how are you feeling?"

Inside the Thunder God Temple, Chen Yang helped Huang Daolin up and quickly asked him questions.

"I'm fine, I won't die."

Huang Daolin smiled broadly.

Although his body was sealed, his mind was clear, and he was fully aware of everything happening in the outside world. He knew exactly when Chen Yang arrived and what he did.

"You scared me to death."

Huang Daolin's aura had subsided, and there was no longer any trace of deathly energy emanating from him. Chen Yang was truly relieved. "Don't do that again..."

Emerging from the Temple of Thor.

After a night of wind and rain, the sky outside is clear and the sun is shining brightly.

Except for Leidongting, which has once again become a ruin, everything is as before. Everything that happened last night seems like a dream.

"How's it going in Raojiang?" Huang Daolin asked about Chen Yang's trip to Raojiang.

Chen Yang didn't hide anything and told him the whole story in detail.

"Dead?"

After listening, Huang Daolin pondered for a moment.

Chen Yang said, "This trip to Raojiang was surprising, but safe and surprisingly smooth. However, it was too smooth, which made me feel a little strange."

Huang Daolin said, "What's strange about it? Tell me."

Chen Yang said, "I've heard that although the physical body of a Celestial Being is powerful, because it is a flawless body, it can trap the primordial spirit that inhabits it. Unless the physical body is destroyed, it cannot escape. So, I'm considering whether, seeing that there's no hope of killing me, it might use my power to destroy the physical body and then let the primordial spirit escape..."

"But in that situation, even the physical body of a celestial being was destroyed, so there was probably little hope for the primordial spirit to escape..."

……

Huang Daolin pondered for a moment, then said, "Proving whether he is still alive is not difficult..."

"Oh?" Chen Yang's eyes flickered slightly.

Huang Daolin said, "Use the nail-head technique to bow again. If there is a backlash, it proves that he is still alive..."

"Can you just shut up for a bit?"

Before he could finish speaking, Xuan Jing's rebuttal came from the side, "Haven't we learned our lesson this time? This evil magic must never be used again, no matter what."

Huang Daolin gave an awkward smile.

Chen Yang nodded, "The master is right. Whether he is dead or alive, Uncle, you should leave this matter alone."

This technique is powerful, but using it against someone of a higher cultivation level would undoubtedly result in a double loss, harming the enemy by 800 while injuring yourself by 1000.

If the difference in skill level is too great, one might even suffer heavy losses, failing to kill the enemy but instead sacrificing oneself.

This lesson has been profound enough.

Huang Daolin nodded slightly and said nothing more.

At this moment, Chen Yang remembered the question he had asked Xuan Jing before, and immediately said to Huang Daolin, "Uncle, how do you know Ding Huanchun's birth date and time? Could it be that you have had contact with Ding Huanchun?"

touch?

Chen Yang felt that it wasn't impossible.

Ding Huanchun was active in the Jiapigou area in the 1970s, and Huang Daolin was in Huangjia Village. The two villages are close to each other, so it is normal that they had contact.

However, Huang Daolin was still young at that time, and he and Ding Huanchun were from completely different generations. No matter how much they tried to understand each other, it was impossible for them to reach the point where they could accurately know each other's birth charts.

Huang Daolin knew he wanted to ask this, so he wasn't surprised.

"This is a long story."

Huang Daolin sighed and then began to explain the cause and effect to Chen Yang.

"In 1964, I was only fifteen or sixteen years old and still practicing at Erlang Temple. One day, I went to Pangpo Ridge with several monks from the temple to preside over a Buddhist ceremony. My senior brother Jiang Daotang and I were responsible for preparing the deceased's body for burial. During the process, the deceased suddenly opened his eyes and sat up..."

"He grabbed my arm, shoved a piece of jade into my hand, and then fell back..."

"I was young then, and I'd never seen anything like this before. I almost fainted from fright..."

……

"This jade piece is probably the most important of all the opportunities I've encountered in my life. It has greatly helped my later cultivation..."

……

Xuan Jing stood to the side, occasionally chiming in with a few words.

The jade piece Huang Daolin mentioned is one of the Buddhist treasures of Emei Mountain, the Jade Tablet of the Eighteen Arhats.

According to Xuanjing, this jade tablet can preserve one of the five aggregates, namely the consciousness aggregate, after the passing of a high monk.

In Taoism, there is a place for the three souls and seven spirits. Among the three souls of Heaven, Earth, and Man, the Earth Soul, Shuangling, is in charge of a person's supernatural powers and memories in life.

Correspondingly, Buddhism has the concept of the Five Aggregates: form, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness.

The consciousness aggregate within it gathers all dharmas, gives rise to all kinds of dharmas, and also governs a person's memories, supernatural powers, and even a part of their consciousness before death.

The Jade Tablet of the Eighteen Arhats' Consciousnesses also originated from Fuhu Temple, successfully preserving that person's consciousnesses.

Although this wisp of consciousness contained some awareness, it remained in a state of confusion and incomprehension. However, its supernatural abilities and memories greatly benefited Huang Daolin.

Although these supernatural abilities and memories are incomplete, they contain many profound techniques from Buddhism, Taoism, and shamanism, which greatly help Huang Daolin's cultivation and mental state improvement...

It was this experience that sparked Huang Daolin's even stronger interest in the profession of shaman, leading him down this path to where he is today.

And the person Huang Daolin mentioned was, unsurprisingly, Pang Guanglin.

This refers to Xuan Lin, the junior brother Xuan Jing mentioned, and Pang the Blind Man, as many people call him.

After hearing this, Chen Yang was stunned for a long time.

In fact, when Chen Yang heard Huang Daolin mention Pangpoling in 1964, he already had a guess in his mind.

It turns out that Huang Daolin had such an experience.

He gained the knowledge and understanding of Master Pang.

No wonder.

No wonder Murong Qian said Huang Daolin looked familiar when they first met.

No wonder Chen Antai was so surprised to see them when he encountered their spirits in Huangjia Village.

At the time, he even called Huang Daolin "Uncle Lin". Chen Yang found it strange then, but then thought that Huang Daolin might have seen him and was surprised.

More than one person has said that they look like their great-grandfather, Chen Tong.

Looking back now, Chen Antai probably saw the two men as spitting images of Pang Guanglin and Chen Tongsheng.

No wonder they were so surprised.

As for Xuan Jing feeling familiar with Huang Daolin as soon as he saw him, it was because Huang Daolin had obtained Pang Guanglin's knowledge and naturally absorbed his aura.

Among the five aggregates (form, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness), they influence each other. Consciousness will naturally affect form, and over time, one's appearance will certainly change.
