"The long sword traverses the nine fields, the high crown touches the heavens, the unparalleled sage, the hero of the four seas? Good, good, good … the hero of the four seas, in this world, who is the hero? "
Hearing Hong Yi's poem, Hakuziyue's body trembled. He savored it carefully and felt an endless sense of heroism.
This mysterious young man, one of the eight great demon immortals, stood up and laughed three times. "Drink, drink. Just this poem of yours has won my heart. It can be said that I have met my soulmate at the end of the world."
As he spoke, Hakuziyue handed the wine gourd to Hong Yi.
Gulp, gulp. Hong Yi drank three mouthfuls in a row and still wanted more. He felt that the more he drank, the warmer his body became. He felt light as if he could fly, but his mind became clearer and he did not feel drunk at all.
It was obvious that this wine was not ordinary.
Hong Yi was also very happy. It was only because of Hakuziyue's appearance that he displayed his supernatural power and scared off the group of ferocious foxes.
If Hakuziyue did not appear today, the nest of foxes would have been doomed.
"The unparalleled sage, the hero of the four seas …"
Hakuziyue waited for Hong Yi to drink, then took his big gourd and drank. With every sip, he recited a poem, as if he was using the poem to go with the wine.
"The great sage used history books to go with the wine. Today, Hong Yi, your poem can also go with the wine. I have not felt so carefree in a long time."
Hakuziyue drank more than ten mouthfuls and seemed to be slightly drunk. He sang loudly again. "Drink our wine … breathe up and down without coughing … drink our wine, don't kowtow when you see the emperor …"
"What song is this?" Hong Yi asked.
"I made a Dionysian song." Hakuziyue laughed again.
"What a wild and unrestrained young man. His supernatural power is so free and unrestrained."
Seeing Hakuziyue's wild and unrestrained appearance, Hong Yi thought of his supernatural power and could not help but be secretly envious.
"Mister Bai is known as one of the eight great demon immortals? May I ask, what is a Yao Immortal? "asked Hong Yi.
In the past two days, he had read the Martial Scripture and the Taoist Scripture. He knew that those who cultivated martial arts to become human immortals and cultivated their souls to the realm of possession and physical transfer could be called ghost immortals. After cultivating the Yang Spirit, they could be called immortals. As for Demonic Immortals, he had never heard of them.
"Call me Ziyue. Mr. Bai, you're treating me like an outsider. Just based on the poem you gave me, I, Hakuziyue, understand you." Hakuziyue drank another mouthful of wine. His face was slightly flushed, but the divine light in his eyes was still as warm as jade. "Demon Immortals become Ghost Immortals. Mortals who are not human can cultivate Yin Spirit Possession and become Ghost Immortals. When I was in the mountains, I cultivated painstakingly for 60 years and became a ghost immortal. I reincarnated into a fetus and am now 15 years old. I wonder how old Brother Yi is? "
"So Ziyue is already fifteen, and I happen to be fifteen as well. When I read the Daoist scriptures, there were demonic spirits that forcefully seized human bodies and destroyed their souls. Ziyue, on the other hand, reincarnated into a fetus and grew up. There is a Dao of Demonic Immortals, "said Hong Yi.
It turned out that when animals gained spirituality, their souls would leave their bodies and gradually cultivate to the level of Ghost Immortals. They could possess other bodies and even forcefully seize human bodies, destroy human souls, and occupy human bodies.
Similarly, those who cultivated immortal arts could also have their souls leave their bodies and seize other people's bodies after their bodies had decayed.
"It's not that there is a Dao, but forcefully occupying human bodies and destroying human souls to wear down one's own soul. It harms others without benefiting oneself. Moreover, an adult's body has already taken shape and cannot be molded. The cultivation of martial arts cannot be profound. As for a fetus, it is a mass of flesh and blood. It has no soul and is incomparably pure. After birth, it gradually develops thoughts and intelligence. Only then can it be considered a human, "said Hakuziyue.
"I see."
Hong Yi understood. "But do immortal cultivators also need to cultivate martial arts?"
"Only cultivating one's nature and not one's life is the first disease of cultivation. Only cultivating one's soul and not one's spirit will not allow one to cross the sea of bitterness and reach the shore. "Hakuziyue said," A human's consciousness is the soul, and the human body is the spirit. One's nature and one's life need to be cultivated together. Otherwise, it will be useless to talk about rationality without cultivating one's physique. "
"No wonder! Scholars pay attention to archery to strengthen their physiques. That's the reason. Cultivating both life and death can allow one to transcend, "said Hong Yi.
"Cultivating both life and death probably won't allow one to transcend!" Hakuziyue shook his head.
"Hmm?" asked Hong Yi, puzzled.
"Don't ask me, I don't know either. My soul has only cultivated to the level of Ghost Immortal and has yet to experience the Lightning Tribulation. My martial arts has only cultivated to the Wu Sheng realm of refining marrow and exchanging blood. I have yet to become an immortal. This time, I came to Jade Capital to seek an answer, "said Hakuziyue.
"What answer?"
"Rumor has it that there are three scrolls in the Daizen Temple. One is the Amitabha Sutra, the other is the Present World Rulai Sutra, and the last is the Lifeless Future Sutra. They are supreme Dharma techniques that talk about transcendence. The Amitabha Sutra is a supreme secret to cultivate the soul. The Present World Rulai Sutra is a supreme fist art to become a human immortal. As for the Lifeless Future Sutra, I don't know. However, rumor has it that to truly transcend, one needs to comprehend all three scriptures together. The Daizen Temple has been destroyed, and the three scriptures are nowhere to be found. They might be hidden in the royal library. This time, I came to Jade Capital to find these three scriptures. "
"Amitabha Sutra, Present World Rulai Sutra, and Lifeless Future Sutra?"
Hong Yi's eyelids twitched when he heard these three names.
He had heard of these three names in Li Yan's Cottage Notebook. It was recorded as follows: "The Daizen Temple has three scriptures: the past, the present, and the future. Just like a scholar's virtue, merit, and speech. It's a pity that I didn't see it with my own eyes. What a pity. "
However, there wasn't much information in that one line.
"As expected of a demon immortal. His words are not as secretive as a human's. If he was a human, how could he just say that he went to the Jade Capital royal library to find the secret scriptures?"
Hearing Hakuziyue's forthright and frank words, with a sense of "there is nothing that cannot be said to others", Hong Yi felt a sense of closeness.
"However, Ziyue is also a martial arts expert. He has actually cultivated to the level of Wu Sheng. If I want to practice martial arts, I have to seek guidance from him." Hong Yi thought.
The Da Qian Dynasty had a set of strict martial arts examinations. Martial Student, Martial Disciple, Martial Warrior, Martial Master, Connate Martial Master, Great Grandmaster, and Wu Sheng. Although the division was very detailed, the experts in the army were only Martial Warriors and Martial Masters. There were very few who had reached the Connate Realm with strong internal organs and great stamina, let alone Great Grandmaster and Wu Sheng.
As for Human Immortals, he had never heard of them.
"These days, I have been reading the Martial Scriptures. I want to practice martial arts too, but I lack guidance. Among the three of us, there must be a teacher. Since I met Ziyue today, I would like to seek guidance from him." Hong Yi said to Hakuziyue.
"Hong Yi, you want to practice martial arts?" Hakuziyue looked at Hong Yi, then looked at the Martial Scripture on the table. "There are many abridged parts in this Martial Scripture, and most of the things recorded in it are crude. Your skin and flesh are loose, and your tendons are weak. Without martial arts, it is equivalent to a blank piece of paper. Without a foundation, it will be difficult for you to cultivate powerful martial arts in a short period of time. "
"One step at a time." Hong Yi smiled.
"To practice martial arts, one must first cultivate the flesh, tendons, and skin. In the Da Qian Dynasty's Martial Arts Lecture Hall, those who have cultivated to the skin are classified as Martial Warriors. They are also considered as candidates for the Imperial Examinations. In the army, they can easily become a military officer of a hundred people, "Hakuziyue said, as if he was very familiar with the system in the army.
In the Da Qian Dynasty's army, five people were called "Wu", and the military officer was called "Wu". One hundred people were called "Du", and the military officer was called "Dutou". Five hundred people were called "Battalion", and the military officer was called "Commander". One thousand people were called "Army", and the military officer was called "General". Ten thousand people were called "Tong", and the military officer was called "Commander".
Everything was strictly hierarchical, far more so than the imperial court. It was all based on martial arts and military achievements.
"In the world, the martial arts that cultivate the flesh, tendons, and skin are none other than the Daizen Temple's' Ox Demon Strength Technique 'and' Tiger Demon Bone Training Fist '. After practicing these two techniques, the tendons, bones, skin, and flesh will be strong, and one will be a Martial Master. As for entering the Innate Realm, there are many kinds of breathing techniques that cultivate the organs. I will teach you the Ox Demon Strength Technique first. "
