Chapter 25 The Way of the Golden Elixir, Seven Emotions and Six Desires
The reason why Cui Heng thought that the transformation of the golden elixir into a primordial infant could only be completed in a civilized society with people gathered together was because of the breakthrough conditions described in "The Immortal Method for Novices".
After the golden elixir was fully developed, "The Immortal Method for Novices" listed two different routes.
One is Taoism, and the other is Buddhism.
If you practice Taoism, you need to let the golden elixir have spirituality, let the golden elixir come alive, and evolve into a baby by itself.
If you practice Buddhism, you don't need to let the golden elixir have spirituality, you just need to keep the precepts and eliminate desires, and then spread the golden elixir to the whole body, and you can refine the golden body.
Cui Heng naturally chose the route of practicing Taoism.
However, at first he didn't know how to make the golden elixir have spirituality, let alone how to make the golden elixir come alive by itself. He thought that it was like the foundation-building period, by adjusting the operation of magic power to activate the foundation of Taoism.
That's what he did during the last period in the novice space.
Unfortunately, he gained nothing.
The golden elixir was still shining, but it didn't look like it had any spirituality.
On the contrary, after the novice period ended and he came out of the novice space, he met the group of tomb robbers.
Cui Heng felt extremely fearful from them, and at the same time, he also felt that the golden elixir had grown a little bit of spiritual fluctuations that were barely detectable.
When Zhao Guang was rescued and showed ecstatic emotions, he felt that the golden elixir had another very subtle spirituality.
These two spiritual feelings were different, but they both caused subtle changes in the golden elixir.
Considering that the Buddhist path corresponding to Taoism requires keeping precepts and eliminating desires, he inevitably wondered if the spirituality that nurtures the golden elixir needs the emotional fluctuations of the outside world as nourishment?
If Buddhism is to keep precepts and eliminate desires, and achieve the golden body of nirvana, then Taoism is to enter the world to experience the seven emotions and six desires and nurture the primordial baby?
It is indeed possible.
Therefore, Cui Heng planned to verify his guess about this aspect of practice while looking for items to accumulate currency.
...
"What a handsome boy."
"Really good-looking, I have never seen such a good-looking boy."
"Oh, if I hadn't been married, I really wanted to go over and ask." "
You are shameless! Hehehe! But... it is really good-looking!"
From time to time, the laughter of the beautiful women came to my ears.
Women in this country don't seem to be subject to too many restrictions. Even girls who haven't left the house can still go out in groups on the street, and even whisper about men.
Therefore, after Cui Heng came to Xiangxi Town, similar voices kept coming.
There is no way, immortal cultivators all have a unique temperament, which is particularly attractive.
Especially the immortal cultivators who have achieved the great success of the Golden Core, they have a kind of transcendent, unrestrained and handsome temperament.
And Cui Heng himself is very handsome.
Naturally, he attracted the attention of countless young women.
However, he didn't care about these.
According to Cui Heng's original plan, he was to stay in an inn first.
Then, he would order some wine and food in the lobby, and listen to the guests around him while eating.
In this way, he could understand the situation nearby.
After all, martial arts novels all say that the lobby of the inn is the best place to get information.
But before he even got to the inn, he ran into a wedding procession with music and drums.
The festive atmosphere immediately filled the entire street.
Cui Heng got closer to feel it and immediately laughed.
Sure enough, this joyful mood was also quite beneficial to his practice.
It was just like this when welcoming the bride. If he could attend the wedding banquet, there would definitely be more benefits.
Cui Heng glanced at the roadside and saw a little boy running around. He walked over, squatted down, and said with a smile, "Little boy, what's your name?"
The little boy looked about seven or eight years old, chubby and cute. He blinked his eyes and said, "Wang Hu, my father, mother, grandpa and grandma all call me Ah Hu."
"Then Ah Hu, which family is holding a wedding?" Cui Heng casually took out a red tomato from his sleeve and said with a smile, "Tell me, and you can eat this fruit."
"What a nice smell!" Ah Hu's eyes lit up immediately, staring at the tomato in Cui Heng's hand, nodding repeatedly, "This is the young master of the Li family in the north of the town getting married. Their house is very big, the largest house in the north of the town!"
This tomato was regarded as a red fruit by Pei Qingshu, which contained a certain degree of spiritual energy and was extremely attractive to children with sensitive senses.
"Here you go!" Cui Heng casually threw the tomato to the little boy and walked directly to the north of the town.
"Thank you!" Ah Hu was very polite. After taking the tomato, he bowed to Cui Heng and thanked him. He thought to himself, "This fruit smells so good! My father, mother, grandpa and grandma must have never eaten it. I'll take it home and share it!"
Cui Heng ignored the little boy. He walked straight to the north of the town, intending to eat at the wedding banquet.
No, it was to get some joy, experience the seven emotions and six desires, and increase the spirituality of the golden elixir.
...
The Li family is the most prominent family in Xiangxi Town.
It is said that Li's ancestors worked as apprentices in the largest cloth shop in Hedong County and learned the best craftsmanship.
After returning to his hometown, he not only opened his own cloth shop, but also taught the craft of weaving to the villagers, which made Xiangxi Town a famous cloth town far and wide.
The Li family can be said to be the founder of the cloth industry in Xiangxi Town, and the benefactor of the people of Xiangxi Town.
Today, although more than a hundred years have passed, the Li family has declined compared to their ancestors, but they are still loved and respected in the town.
Therefore, on this day when the young master of the Li family got married, there was an endless stream of people who came to congratulate and attend the banquet, almost filling up the street in front of the Li family.
The Li family accepted everyone who came, as long as they gave a symbolic gift, they could go in and drink the wedding wine.
Anyway, the family was rich and they were not afraid of being poor, they just wanted to be more festive.
Cui Heng was mixed in the crowd. He almost laughed out loud when he saw the gifts from the people in front of him.
Some gave an egg, some gave a handful of rice, and some even gave stones.
There were all kinds of things.
When it was Cui Heng's turn, he took out another tomato, put it on the gift plate, and then went in to drink the wedding wine.
Cui Heng couldn't help but feel a little emotional at this joyous scene.
He had been in the novice space for three hundred years, and he hadn't seen such a lively scene for a long time.
"Bride and groom! Worship the heaven and earth!"
A loud shout came from the front, and the bride and groom finally came out, ready to perform a grand ceremony to worship the heaven and earth.
Although Cui Heng was sitting at the back, he was so skilled that he could clearly see the movements of the bride and groom.
This way he could feel the joy of the bride more clearly.
"Huh?"
But at this moment, he suddenly exclaimed.
Cui Heng noticed that the bride's steps were a little hesitant, and she seemed a little reluctant.
Reluctant?
It can't be so bloody, right?
Cui Heng raised his eyebrows.
Bang!
At this moment, there was a sound of someone kicking the door outside, and the joyous scene suddenly became quiet.
