Chapter 70 Obsession
"Master Chen, since you have been here for so long, have you seen anything unusual in this temple?"
After all, the other party was a master of martial arts, and Li Heng showed respect by treating him as a master.
"Something unusual?"
Chen Zhouhe frowned and pondered for a while: "What are you referring to?"
"For example...a human head!"
Li Heng's words were so shocking that Chen Zhouhe's eyelids suddenly jumped.
"What can I say? Why are there any heads here? It has been three years since I discovered this place. I go up the mountain every few days. During this period, I briefly visited this small temple, but I have never seen any heads.
ah?"
Li Heng stood up silently and continued to walk around the small temple.
At this time, his eyes swept across the small space inside the earth temple, and finally stopped at the lonely loess statue.
"what are you up to?"
Watching his actions, Chen Zhouhe was a little surprised. After all, this young man's eyes were so calm and firm, as if he could never stop him once he made up his mind to do something.
Li Heng pressed his palms on this loess statue that was not much taller than him. This old statue with a cracked surface could be shattered by just a simple exertion of force.
here we go!
Li Heng not only used one hand to exert force, but also used both hands together. His muscles tensed instantly, and there was a bang and smoke flew everywhere.
However, the statue of the god was not shattered, but stood straight up from the ground and was completely lifted up by him!
Chen Zhouhe's eyes almost popped out of his head. He was so shocked that a mouthful of old phlegm almost got stuck in his throat and he didn't cough it out.
He was originally a very strong young man, but at most he was only a little better than himself who was now weak and injured. He even thought that if he returned to the heyday of his youth, he might not be as good as him.
But this sudden scene made him tense up, thinking that he was still too confident.
I have only escaped from the world for about ten years. Has the outside world evolved to this level?
Bang——
Li Heng turned his body and moved the entire solid statue to the side. There was another burst of dirt and dust. It looked like he had made an insignificant disappearance in an understatement. He was breathless and his expression remained unchanged, but his hands were a little dirty.
Chen Zhouhe's eyelids twitched. There was no skill left with such a gap in power levels.
No martial arts or fighting skills can make up for this gap in pure strength. As the saying goes, great strength can work miracles. A punch can break tendons and fracture bones. No body skills or techniques are of any use.
Chen Zhouhe took a look at Li Heng's figure and estimated his weight. He should be about the same as himself, or even lighter.
"If you put your strength level among the 70-kilogram athletes, it would be like killing them randomly. In the words of the Internet today...it's like cheating!"
Li Heng laughed, thinking that I was indeed cheating.
After the loess statue was moved away, a hole appeared on the ground, and a simple staircase loomed out of the darkness.
Chen Zhouhe couldn't help but sigh in surprise: "Hidden space? I have been here for more than three years, but I have never thought that there is a cave under this statue."
Li Heng discovered that although the soil used for this statue was the same as that of the earth temple, the weathering degree of the two was different. This statue was formed later than the earth temple and was built later.
But isn't it strange that a temple and the statue of the god it enshrines were completed at different times?
With many questions, Li Heng walked down the tunnel.
Chen Zhouhe quickly warned: "I'm afraid the air will be poisonous if the underground is closed for a long time!"
"Um"
Li Heng put his palm in and felt it and said: "There is a weak air flow. The underground is not completely closed. You should be able to breathe."
After saying that, he walked down the earth and stone stairs.
Out of curiosity, Chen Zhouhe followed closely.
After coming down, Li Heng turned on the lights in the darkness and illuminated the surrounding area.
"this……"
Chen Zhouhe was suddenly surprised by the suddenly opened underground space.
Murals, relief paintings, sculptures... a large number of patterns are presented in various ways in this square underground space. The area of this underground cave is larger than the earth temple above.
In other words, this is the main body.
Most of these murals are "General Map of Human Meridians", "Five Zang Jing Qi Ling Shu", "Twenty-eight Meridians and Wonders" and "Cultivation Picture".
Among them, the Cultivation Picture is the most grand, occupying half of the wall, and is drawn with five colors of paint, clearly depicting every node and every qi threshold in the picture.
"Cultivation Picture" is also called "Nine Transformations of Alchemy". Like "Inner Scenery Picture", it is the secret of alchemy practice, but this picture contains more information density.
In addition, there are many thread-bound books below, most of which are classics on Chinese medicine, Taoist classics and Zen scriptures.
Li Heng casually opened one of the books and could see that there were a large number of annotations written in these documents and classics. They were all written with black ink pens, and they were by no means nonsense. The insights contained in them were quite profound.
Most of the illustrations on the wall have explanations, and you can even see traces of multiple revisions and engravings, which means that they are constantly being revised and corrected.
Li Heng was almost fascinated when he looked at it. Only he who has also studied related Chinese medicine and alchemy theory can understand the meaning contained in these words.
Comparatively speaking, Chen Zhouhe was a little stunned at the side. Although it took him three years to understand the instructions of the Nei Jing diagram hanging above, the amount of information contained in this underground display instantly surpassed
his understanding.
“When we study the relationship between heaven and man, it’s so strange that we can’t explain it… Is there such an interpretation?”
"Always think of yourself as peaceful, but don't use your heart... I have never seen this sentence before."
“It is constantly changing, it flows around the six voids, it is impermanent up and down, hard and soft exchange each other...it actually corresponds to the theory in the Book of Changes!”
"Kanli intersects with Leize and sinks, and the three general meridians merge into Tiantong, Yuzhen, and Lingqiao. Shouldn't they be the lower meridians? Why can there be such a change!"
At this moment, Li Heng realized that he had been too self-righteous before.
Now he feels like he has received guidance from "Liu Yizhen" before, and he feels suddenly enlightened.
This is the feeling that only those who come into contact with people whose knowledge is far above themselves can have. The wisdom condensed on the walls, in the paperwork room, and in the drafts opened up a whole new way of thinking for him.
"Awesome! Awesome!"
Li Heng was rarely surprised.
This person, the original owner of this place is definitely a master of ancient and modern learning!
Not only does he know Taoism and the Alchemy Sutra like the back of his hand, but he is also proficient in Chinese medicine, Zen Buddhism, Yili, and even Feng Shui Kanyu. He is a genius who has knowledge of ancient and modern times and is knowledgeable in all eight disciplines.
Such a master with profound attainments in many academic fields, with such knowledge and wisdom, can achieve great achievements wherever he goes. It can be said that fame and fortune are easily available, but why does he live deep in the Qinling Mountains, hiding in three feet of loess?
During this time, you don’t see the light of day all day long and just study these ways of cultivation?
Soon, as Li Heng kept flipping through these old manuscripts and staring intently at the handwriting of this unknown master, the answer was soon revealed.
"Xian, what exactly is it?"
"How to become an immortal? How to become an immortal?"
"Become an immortal!"
The last two words, "Becoming an Immortal," were written directly in blood. They have turned into darkness over the years, but the deep nail marks still convey the deep-rooted obsession of the person who wrote these two words.
Chapter completed!
