Chapter 61: Air Guidance
Master Changqing raised his hand, and the little monkey next to him immediately went to the cabinet next to him and took out a small iron box, brought it over and placed it next to Chen Luo.
"Open it and take a look."
Zhenren Changqing gestured.
Chen Luo opened the iron box and what came into view was a yellowed book.
The book was made of warm material, just like the Record of Hundred Immortals. After opening it, Chen Luo discovered that the book was about another kind of cultivation. A cultivation method that abandoned the physical body! This kind of cultivation method had great limitations. Although there was no hope of becoming an immortal for life, it could bypass the limitation of life span and allow some Qi cultivators who were about to die to survive in another way.
Putting the book aside, looking inside the box, at the bottom of the iron box, there is a tablet made with special techniques. This tablet is somewhat similar to the tablet on the offering table, but there are big differences in details, the most direct one being spirituality.
Ordinary people worship their ancestors on tablets, which is a hope for the deceased.
But the tablet of Zhenren Changqing is dedicated to himself and is the resting place of his soul after his death.
The reason why Master Changqing accepted him as his disciple and led him into the Taoism should be this.
He hoped that when Chen Luo escaped from the tomb in the future, he would be able to take his spirit tablet with him to the outside world.
The Shinto techniques cannot be practiced within the confines of a large tomb, because the tomb does not allow it.
This point is clearly stated in the Shinto Sutra. If Changqing Zhenren does not want his soul to be sucked into the tomb after his death, he must escape from this range. Only in this way can he formally practice the Shinto Sutra and escape the fate of death.
"What I want you to do is to help me take this spirit tablet out when we leave the tomb. As long as we are out of the tomb, you don't have to worry about what happens next."
Just as Chen Luo guessed, Zhenren Changqing asked to take the spirit tablet out.
No one wants to die.
The same goes for Master Changqing.
"good."
Chen Luo nodded and agreed to the condition.
A smile appeared on Zhenren Changqing's face. He stood up and walked to the stone wall next to him. He knocked twice gently with his hands. Then a fairy word appeared on the palm of his hand and he pressed it gently. A secret compartment popped out from the wall.
Inside was a rectangular jade box inlaid with gold all around, and it looked very expensive.
"This is the Soul Locking Box I made. It can block the leaking spiritual energy. It is one of the few treasures in the Yue Kingdom that can store spiritual energy."
As he spoke, he handed the box to Chen Luo, giving it to him along with the spirit stones.
With the kindness that Changqing Zhenren had shown to Chen Luo, he didn't need to make this deal at all, and Chen Luo would not refuse it even if he asked directly. But he was old-fashioned and always had his own principles, just like the rules of accepting disciples in Baixian Cave. Even if he was the only one, he would stick to it.
"If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. During this time, I will be refining spirits here to pave the way for the subsequent transformation."
As Changqing Zhenren spoke, he suddenly looked at Chen Luo, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes.
The aura like the morning sun made him feel dazed. Once upon a time, he had infinite visions for the future just like Chen Luo now. Unfortunately, time was ruthless, and in a blink of an eye, half of his life had passed, and he was getting further and further away from the immortal path.
He is now very old and the time he has left can be counted on one's fingers.
"Practice well. Become a true immortal cultivator, go and see the mythical immortal world, and pursue the immortality and freedom that I have never seen."
The Shinto path can only survive, the Immortal path is the right path.
"I will never let the teacher down."
Chen Luo responded solemnly.
Upon seeing this, Master Changqing smiled and then lowered his head to go back to his own business.
He didn't have much time left, and there were still many things to do. This feeling became even clearer after he came out of seclusion this time.
Chen Luo opened the box, and a wisp of spiritual energy emanated from it.
The familiar smell instantly made him recognize the contents of the box. It was the same blue ore that he had encountered in the mine.
After confirming that the spirit stone was effective, Chen Luo quickly stood up and prepared to say goodbye to his teacher and go back to seclusion.
After wasting so much time, I can finally officially enter the Tao.
"Remember to come find me again after you become a Taoist. I will take you to the passage that leads out of the tomb." When Chen Luo was about to go out, Zhenren Changqing suddenly reminded him.
"The exit?"
Chen Luo was stunned, then looked over in confusion.
If there really is a way to leave, why doesn't Master Changqing leave on his own?
“Because it’s the wrong time.”
It seemed as if Master Changqing already knew what Chen Luo wanted to ask.
"I discovered that passage fifty years ago, but unfortunately the timing was wrong, so I couldn't get through even though I discovered it. According to the calculations of my two old friends and I, the passage will only open once every three hundred years. There are also qualifications required to enter the passage, and Qi Refiners who have not entered the Dao will also be excluded."
I see.
No wonder Master Changqing has always believed that Chen Luo can leave the tomb. This shows his confidence in his qualifications.
"Where is the passage?"
Chen Luo already had a guess in his mind.
"It's in the big tomb at your feet. You can go back and see the details yourself."
As Changqing Zhenren spoke, he took out a book from the cabinet next to him and threw it to Chen Luo. The book contained detailed records about the passage.
This is very consistent with Master Changqing's character. He does everything in a methodical manner and never makes mistakes.
"Thank you, teacher."
Chen Luo didn't say anything more and returned to the Huwei Escort Agency with the book given to him by Master Changqing.
In the room.
Chen Luo closed the book recording the passage and breathed a long sigh of relief.
There is indeed a passage in the tomb, and it has been confirmed that one can leave through this passage. There are clues left by predecessors next to the passage. As for what is on the other side of the passage and whether one can return after going there, the book does not describe it.
Master Changqing and the others didn't know either, because they had never been out there either.
"If that's the case, I'll have to say goodbye to Uncle San and the others before I leave."
Chen Luo thought of his parents and his third uncle.
It just so happens that there is still some time left after entering the Tao, and by then I can arrange everything properly.
Gathering his thoughts, Chen Luo took out the soul-locking box he had obtained from True Man Changqing. In order to prevent Ruan Xiaohu from breaking in, he locked the doors and windows.
Taking out the "Record of a Hundred Immortals" and putting it aside, Chen Luo sat cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed, and began to breathe and meditate as usual.
After a while, my mentality completely calmed down.
Chen Luo opened the box, and the blue light instantly filled the entire room. After the spiritual energy on the surface was no longer blocked by the box, it began to dissipate rapidly. This kind of spiritual stone after being mined is like a flower or fruit without roots and stems, and it can't maintain its own state.
Fortunately, Chen Luo was prepared. He opened his mouth and sucked gently.
There was a sudden small storm in the room, and all the spiritual energy that had escaped was sucked into his chest.
The contents of the "True Immortal Scripture" automatically emerged in my mind.
“Breathe in and out, expel the old and take in the new”
Rows of words appeared clearly and accurately in Chen Luo's mind.
When a normal Qigong practitioner first enters the Dao, most of his mind is focused on "guiding Qi", and he can usually only use the first two sentences of the Qigong formula, and some can even only remember the two words "breathing". Those who can remember more than three sentences are geniuses.
The more you remember, the better the effect of refining Qi will be.
This kind of memory is not simply a competition of brain power, but the quality of spiritual roots.
The stronger the spiritual roots, the easier it is to guide the Qi. On the contrary, most of the mind is focused on guiding the Qi, so there are naturally fewer Qi refining methods that can be mobilized, and the effect of Qi refining is naturally greatly reduced.
