I can see Chapter 85 of The Book of Life and Death: In the Name of the People
The moonlight is like water, and a cool breeze blows outside the house.
Zhang Mingtu looked up at the sky. The moon was quite bright tonight.
The dragon and tiger external pill was suspended in front of him, absorbing and exhaling the essence of the moon as if breathing.
Human practitioners can often only directly absorb the essence of heaven and earth. If they want to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, they need to have a strong physique and enter the realm of true essence.
Often, only demons, with their corresponding innate talents, can absorb and exhale the essence of the sun and the moon when they embark on the path of cultivation.
You can even get the greatest benefit from the Emperor's Flowing Liquid, which is rare in decades.
Zhang Mingtu has never entered the realm of true essence, so it is difficult for him to directly absorb and exhale the essence of the sun and the moon.
However, no one knows who created the Dragon and Tiger External Pill, but it is a first-class method to assist in spiritual practice.
Although it is an external elixir, its effect is no worse than top-notch elixirs such as the marrow cleansing and blood-changing elixir that are taken internally.
On the contrary, in many cases, it is much more powerful than real elixirs taken internally.
It can harmonize water and fire, balance yin and yang, and can also use its magic weapons and attributes to absorb and exhale the essence of the sun and the moon, making it a first-class aid in spiritual practice.
One night of swallowing and exhaling moonlight is equivalent to half a month of hard practice for Zhang Mingtu.
Ever since he got the Dragon-Tiger External Pill, Zhang Mingtu has been practicing diligently every day without stopping.
After the gentle essence of heaven and earth was swallowed into the body by the Sutra of the Original Vow of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, it traveled through the meridians to the whole body. When passing through the 365 major acupoints, part of it was swallowed by the Tiangang Guiyuan technique.
The gentle essence flows throughout the body, strengthening the physical body and then strengthening the true energy after returning to the dantian.
The progress of cultivation is much slower than before, but the feeling of having both physical strength and true energy become strong is intoxicating.
"No wonder only Buddhism, Taoism, and the royal family can practice the top-notch body-building techniques..."
Absorbing and exhaling the essence of the heaven, earth, sun and moon, one day is equivalent to half a month's practice. However, after being divided up by the body, it is only equivalent to three normal days of practice.
However, if a normal practitioner does not take external elixirs and related rare treasures to replenish the essence in his body, his practice progress will be slowed to one-fifth of the previous level.
This can drive people crazy.
Zhang Mingtu stopped practicing only when the moonlight had completely dimmed and was no longer as bright as before.
He performed a set of Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist and Heavenly Dragon Spirit Refining Fist on the spot.
The Qi and blood in the body become more active, and the muscles and bones seem to come alive.
And inside the dragon and tiger external pill, there are dragon roars and tiger howls.
The dragon and tiger related divine power seeds left in the mind all complement each other.
When Tianlong gained the upper hand, Zhang Mingtu Lingtai was clear and bright, just like the grass, trees and dead rocks in the mountains. Nothing in the world could cause any ripples in his heart.
"Just stay here and remain unchanged. What does the universe have to do with me?"
When the tiger demon gained the upper hand, murderous intent arose in his heart, wishing to destroy the world, and all kinds of evil thoughts began to grow wildly.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Go straight to the gates of Wang and Li's houses. If you see injustice, draw your sword and help. If you can beat them, fight them. If you can't, remember the corresponding names and come back another day."
"In my life I have only pursued pleasure and done things, but now I am being cautious and acting like a bird!"
"With the foresight of the Book of Life and Death, you should roam the world without any scruples."
"I don't have much affection for my family and friends in this world, so why worry about the consequences? I'm alone, and I'm the master of the world!"
While distracting thoughts were running rampant, Zhang Mingtu did not reject them too much or feel uncomfortable.
At the beginning, these distracting thoughts were not deep. Most of them allowed Zhang Mingtu to do some revenge, or simply do something that broke the bottom line of his life on a small scale.
But Zhang Mingtu would not be careless because of this. Because his Zhang family was wiped out before, he practiced the Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist until it was in his marrow and bones. At that time, he did not have too many scruples when killing people.
He knew clearly that a thousand-mile long dam could be breached by a single ant hole.
Even though the evil thoughts are not strong now, if they are not controlled and restrained, they will flood like rivers in the future and will be out of control.
"The ancestors of the Zhang family who were able to create this technique were truly remarkable."
When he slowly finished the exercise, all distracting thoughts disappeared from his mind, and Zhang Mingtu expressed his sincere admiration.
The most important thing in spiritual practice is to understand one's mind and nature. With the entanglement of the two external demons, the dragon and the tiger, it is easier for people to see their own true mind and nature.
The tiger demon brings out the evil in people, while the dragon god calms the turbulent heart in the body. It is up to the individual to decide whether to become a demon or a god.
"None of this suits my taste. I just want to be a mortal."
Zhang Mingtu let out a light breath and took another firm step towards marrow cleansing and blood transfusion.
"Of course, expressing my true feelings and acting impulsively are in line with my thinking, but I also have to consider the people around me. I am very satisfied with this safe and steady form and style now."
After the demonic shock, Zhang Mingtu's mind was no longer confused, but became clearer instead.
He comes from a modern society. Even though modern society still has many shortcomings and imperfections, it is still different from the world he lives in now.
The modern society he lives in can already be called a paradise. Everyone has food to eat, clothes to wear, and is bound and governed by various laws and regulations.
Good deeds will be rewarded, and evil deeds will be punished. There are areas where the sun does not reach, but generally the sun is still shining brightly in the sky.
"I think the world of suffering, for many ordinary people in this world, might be the fairyland that they can hardly imagine."
"And I have my own standards for what I do!"
"Daxia has its own national conditions. This statement doesn't convince me. Since the law exists, everything should be done according to the law."
"No one is collecting evidence, no one is expressing their anger, so I'll do it."
Zhang Mingtu's mind became more and more determined, and at the most determined moment in his heart, the Book of Life and Death in his mind was turning rapidly, and the last word on it disappeared.
Zhang Mingtu's heart moved and he looked at it carefully.
The cover of the Book of Life and Death has changed from the previous lotus leaf dragon and tiger pattern to another one.
Thick black clouds covered the sky, the sun had completely disappeared, and the world was like a ghost cave.
And beneath the thick dark clouds, there were some sparks flickering. The flames were weak, but they could illuminate the surrounding area when they flickered.
The flickering moment can also make the countless houses in the darkness give a little response, and it seems that there is an unlit fire flickering in the darkness.
"In the Name of the People..."
Zhang Mingtu quietly read out the five words on the cover. The picture clearly gave people an extremely dark and depressing feeling, like the underworld.
But when he stared at the tiny flame, a surge of power suddenly surged in Zhang Mingtu's heart.
The little flames were insignificant compared to the thick dark clouds, but they still flickered tenaciously.
Zhang Mingtu took a deep breath and opened the Book of Life and Death for this round.
The very beginning gave Zhang Mingtu a huge shock.
…
I have tried my best to overestimate the monsters in the underground river of Ganjiang River, but I still underestimated them.
The operation succeeded, but also failed.
It can only be said that it is half successful.
