The academy has become a small world where saints sit, and on the top of Donghua Mountain, there is a special cave.
After Mao Xiaodong used his magical powers, the weather on the mountain top turned out to be golden autumn.
Autumn is crisp.
Chen Ping'an was sitting in the west, with a five-color Golden Chamber stove placed in front of him. He "fanned the wind" with the spiritual energy nourished and stored in the Shui Palace, and "ignited" with a pure martial artist's true energy, driving the Dan stove to burn blazingly. Clusters of refining objects and real fire.
The alchemy furnace suddenly shines brightly, like a scorching sun on earth.
The golden bile hovered above the alchemy furnace and slowly descended.
Chen Ping'an was no stranger to this. Step by step, he used the Immortal Refining Technique derived from the Immortal Praying Monument in front of the Buried River Temple to control a palm-sized jar of gold sand and sprinkle it into the alchemy furnace. The fire became even more rapid. The illumination made Chen Ping'an's whole face bright red, especially his clear eyes that had seen thousands of mountains and rivers, becoming more and more beautiful. The hands that had fired porcelain and rolled blanks countless times did not tremble at all, and their hearts were as clear as a lake. Mirror, there is another ancient well with no waves.
The golden bile that was "cut out" from the heart by City God Shen Wen rose and fell in the alchemy furnace, slowly rotating and turning.
Not only the hundreds of years of good men and women in Caiyi Kingdom, who have been soaked in incense year after year, but also the awe-inspiring righteousness of the civil servant Shen Wen who has always maintained a true spirit after his death, and the experience of spending day and night with the Great Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain who personally carved seals. , the divine spiritual light that was conceived is dotted like stars in the sky at first night.
Among the many natural and earthly treasures, the sword relics of a martial sage from the martial arts temple in the capital of a certain country in Aquarius Continent, and the half-foot-long thousand-year-old horn are the most difficult to refine.
Chen Ping'an's mind was at peace, and he just took every step steadily and without mistakes, and slowly refined it with the immortal formula that "all things can be refined".
The sword that had followed the martial saint throughout his military career hovered over the alchemy furnace and gradually melted. Starting from the tip of the sword, a drop of golden water melted out and fell into the Wucai Golden Chamber. When it reached the back, the water droplet The speed of falling is getting faster and faster, and they are connected in a line. If someone can use the method of inner vision to live in the small world of Danlu, and then look up, the string of water drops will be like a golden Tianhe waterfall, coming to the world. .
Gold governs the lungs.
Those who want to nourish the lungs and practice Taoism have already figured out a rule. The three points of Qihai, Tanzhong and Feishu are crucial.
When Chen Pingan breathed, he intentionally or unintentionally used the sword energy's eighteen-stop operation method to pass the energy through these three qi mansions and three passes. Suddenly the sword energy was like a rainbow, and Chen Pingan's exposed skin undulated slightly, like The drums are beaten on the battlefield, but no sound is heard on the top of Donghua Mountain. In fact, there is a small world inside the human body. The three battlefields are full of the solemn meaning of sword energy. Just like the three huge battlefield ruins, there are still swords. The immortals and heroes do not want to rest in peace.
The refining of more than thirty pieces of heavenly materials and earthly treasures all has a sequence. They must be put into the furnace on time at the set time, without any deviation. There must be no deviation in the temperature of the alchemy furnace.
As a Confucian saint sitting in the academy, Mao Xiaodong could use the pure and secret method to remind him aloud without worrying about Chen Ping'an being distracted and going crazy.
It's just that Chen Ping'an didn't give him this chance.
Chen Ping'an always concentrates and has no other thoughts. He uses the Immortal's Art of Refining Things to transform the heavenly materials and earthly treasures from real to imaginary. He uses the continued aura of the Water Mansion and the pure true energy that is reborn again and again. He carefully controls the heat of the alchemy furnace and uses the ten sword energy. Ba Ting strengthened the "battlefield" momentum of the three Qifu passes. Since refining this golden gallbladder involves Confucian practice, compared with the refining of ordinary Qi practitioners' natal objects, there is one more huge thing. The troublesome thing is to silently recite some texts related to the Five Elements of Gold, such as those sage articles and poems with the words Xi, Qiu, and Ran inside. Most of them were chosen by Chen Pingan from the bamboo slips, and the other half were chosen by Mao Xiaodong. A suggestion from the study at that time.
This level, in Confucian practice, is known as "speaking from the bottom of your heart, visiting sages and asking for advice."
Mao Xiaodong is actually more worried about this level.
In fact, when I went to the Confucian Temple in the Capital City of the Sui Dynasty for the first time, I not only wanted to get back the dividends from the Cliff Academy, but also borrowed more ritual vessels and sacrificial vessels. The reason was that Mao Xiaodong was afraid that Chen Ping'an's refining would make mistakes here.
After all, Chen Ping'an had never been exposed to the cultivation methods of the Confucian disciples of the academy, and there was no shortcut to cross the sea, so he could only use the rich cultural heritage contained in each piece of Confucian Temple artifacts to make up for it and force his way through.
But fortunately, Chen Pingan did better than the old man imagined.
This means that when Chen Pingan read, he really got into it. The scholars read the truth in the book and recognized each other, so it became Chen Pingan's own foundation. Just like what Mao Xiaodong said casually on the way to the Confucian Temple with Chen Pingan
, the words in the book will not grow on their own. Whether they can run into the stomach and fly into the heart, you have to "break" it by yourself. The brokenness of reading thousands of volumes! There are indeed many Confucian principles, but they are never restrictive.
The human prison is the root of being able to do what one wants without exceeding the rules.
Mao Xiaodong was filled with emotion.
The authentic Confucian Temple in the Divine Continent of Middle-earth has a secret hall of learning, which contains articles and principles left to the world by Confucian sages and recognized by heaven and earth.
The characters have different sizes, and the golden light has different shades.
The golden text closest to the ground is often larger, and the brilliance it emits is brighter and purer.
Many founders of various schools of thought, or some rising stars who are famous all over the world, looked up to this place and allowed them to display their magical powers. Some of them at high places were already considered to be ten thousand pieces, and they were as immovable as the Five Mountains in the Middle Earth, which was enough.
They can shake or even move many of the words in this long-lasting article to other places, but so far no one has been able to even slightly move the golden words on the ground that look like huge corns.
Because that is the fundamental knowledge of the sages and sages.
But even so, some of the words written by the Holy Master and the Li Sheng hovering slightly higher in the Academy of Learning Hall will still have their golden light fade and dissipate on their own. In the secret history of the Confucian Temple, this is the first time that such a situation has occurred.
They were shocked and horrified. Even a Confucian deputy leader who was in charge of the Confucian Temple at that time had to quickly take a shower and change clothes, then go to the statues of the Holy Master and the Ritual Saint to light incense.
But the two saints still haven't shown up.
It was at that time that a scholar who had not yet been revered as a sub-sage by the Confucian culture said, "There is no knowledge that is everlasting, and there is no perfect article. It is not worth making a fuss about, otherwise our descendants will have to study and do it."
What does learning do?”
As a result, the Confucian Temple became very popular.
Mao Xiaodong put away his thoughts and looked at the young man sitting opposite him.
Its shape and spirit are high and clear, like a beautiful tree in the Yaolin forest, free from the natural wind and dust.
Its god, the luminous pearl, is like a pocket-sized moon that was left behind in the human world. It was not taken back to the heaven by the gods of the Moon Palace. Countless fragments are like the bright starlight, like stars arching over the moon.
There is such a little junior brother.
As a senior brother, how can I not be honored?
This has nothing to do with high or low birth or level of cultivation.
His husband, Mao Xiaodong, was a literary sage, and his senior brother was Qi Jingchun, who influenced them. He had also known A Liang for a long time, and was favored by Liji Academy. He even once asked the Chinese scholar who opened a small cave in the Yellow River with a sword.
He has also had many great opportunities, traveled many paths to study, met countless distinguished people, and even had countless drinks with the ancestors of the farmers, traveling thousands of miles across the country.
But Mao Xiaodong still felt that he was not as good as Chen Pingan.
Because he, Mao Xiaodong, missed too much and failed to catch it.
Cui Dongshan once accidentally mentioned the most dangerous part of Chen Ping's journey when he left Lizhu Cave.
It wasn't a fight, but A Liang found him.
In that test that seemed to have only blessings and no risks, if Chen Ping'an changed his mind at all, he would be like Zhao Yao. In the years to come, he might be like Zhao Yao and have his own opportunities, but Chen Ping'an would be like Zhao Yao.
Ping An will definitely miss A Liang, miss Qi Jingchun, miss the biggest opportunity that Qi Jingchun helped him earn through hard work, miss the old scholar, and finally miss the woman he likes. If he makes a mistake at every step, he will lose everything.
Mao Xiaodong had to ask at that time, "Then how did Chen Ping'an survive the danger?"
Cui Dongshan gave a very unorthodox answer at the time, "My husband knows he is stupid. Of course, he also has luck."
Mao Xiaodong still wanted to get to the bottom of it, but Cui Dongshan no longer wanted to talk anymore.
In the end, the ritual vessels that Mao Xiaodong moved from the Confucian Temple in Beijing failed to provide help in times of need, but were just icing on the cake.
But of course Mao Xiaodong was even happier about this.
This means that the grade of the golden bile refined into the natal object will be higher.
Of course it would be inferior to that watermark, but where in the world can I find another seal carved with Qi Jingchun's own spirit?
Even Mao Xiaodong felt sorry for Chen Ping'an, who actually printed the word "山" on the side of Jiaolong Valley, otherwise it would create a big pattern of "mountains and rivers depend on each other", but it would not be possible to break through the bottleneck of the second realm in one fell swoop after the success of two natal objects.
, it is so easy to reach the peak of the second level of Qi Practitioner, and the peak of the third level is certain! Even if the ranking of the remaining three natal items is worse, as long as you gather the attributes of the five elements, you will definitely break the first big threshold of the Qi Practitioner.
Directly to the Fifth Realm!
However, Mao Xiaodong also knew that carrying Qi Jingchun's Shanzi Seal to Daoxuan Mountain would most likely lead to major setbacks.
These seemingly traceless trade-offs and gains and losses are probably Chen Pingan's inner "fundamental knowledge" compared to boxing competitions, sword practice and reading, or even some of the principles he has already understood.
Regarding this matter, Cui Dongshan is actually the most knowledgeable about the difference between gods and humans, and why they are human beings deep in their souls. Cui Dongshan and Cui Chan have gone very far on this subtle and profound road, and they may still be the furthest people in the world.
.
It is said that before Cui Han decided to betray the literary sage lineage, he went to the learning hall of the Chinese Confucian Temple in China. He didn't say a word there and read the words on the ground like golden corn. For three days and three nights, he just read.
None of the text at the bottom and slightly higher up can be read.
Mao Xiaodong sighed slightly.
No matter what, it is an extremely good opportunity to be able to successfully refine this golden bile into a natal object.
Don't be too ambitious if you don't seek perfection.
No longer wandering thousands of miles, Mao Xiaodong poured the cultural fortunes contained in the ritual vessels into the alchemy furnace one after another, with a technique that was at its peak.
Only then did Xie Shirou see the beautiful scenery in Xie Shirou's eyes, where the time and flowing water on the mountaintop were dyed with a layer of golden light.
The alchemy furnace filled with colorful aura suddenly fell silent and the smoke disappeared.
The golden bile lying quietly at the bottom of the Five-Colored Golden Chamber turned into golden juice, and then slowly "grew" and became a scholar in a Confucian shirt with a sword on his back. He was only dressed in gold, and he jumped
, came to the edge of the top of the alchemy furnace, looked up at Chen Pingan, but his face was still blurry, and it was not clear. He roughly looked like Chen Pingan. In addition to a long sword on his back, there were several books with thin gold threads around his waist.
On the small golden book hanging on the wall, the little man in golden Confucian shirt said in an old-fashioned way: "Read more! Besides, you said it yourself, knowing your mistakes can make a lot of improvements!"
Chen Pingan, who was already sweating profusely, wiped the sweat from his forehead, nodded and said with a smile: "Let's encourage each other."
