Chapter 34 Nine-River Avenue

"The great way is open to the sky, and there are countless disasters! Alas! It is difficult to practice Taoism!" Xu Changqing woke up from entering into meditation, opened his eyes, and couldn't help but sigh in a hoarse voice.

Just like this entire Yizhuang, Xu Changqing, who had been in meditation for a year, had a thick layer of dust on his body. His originally bright forehead had grown a layer of grass-like hair, and his beard under his chin was even hung to his chest. His whole body and muscles on his face were sunken, feeling like a refugee. Although his image was really not satisfactory, when his eyes were opened, a sensation light burst out, and he soon became introverted and became simple and unpretentious. His whole skeleton-like face gradually became like an ordinary person from the beginning.

Over the past year, Xu Changqing has been constantly integrating and deducing the Shangqing Nine Transformations Golden Alchemy, Shijia Shenfa and Dragon Elephant Golden Body Technique in the Dao Mind Realm. I don’t know if it is the Dao True Spirit of the Dao Map that is at work. When his mind enters the Dao Mind Realm for deducing the Fusion of the Dao Mind Realm, the entire deduction cannot be stopped, and the deductions quickly exceeded the range that his Dao Mind Realm can control. But what surprised him was that the Dao Mind Realm did not collapse because of this. On the contrary, whenever the Dao Mind Realm could not be supported, the Dao Mind Realm would be connected through the mind consciousness, and an extremely pure inexplicable force would be transmitted to the Dao Mind Realm and maintain the deduction.

After millions of repeated deductions of the Daoxin Realm, the three sets of exercises were finally integrated into one, creating a set of life-like dual cultivation that was almost the ancient Taoist method, but it was also very consistent with the current practice of practicing in such a depleted environment. The biggest feature of this set of exercises is that it can directly borrow the thin spiritual energy of heaven and earth to quickly restore lost skills. Although it is still not used to improve cultivation, it can quickly recover its strength when the vitality is seriously damaged, which will undoubtedly be of great help in fighting.

In addition, this set of exercises can directly utilize the characteristics of the Great Dao Diagram to extract huge power of vows from the void, integrate them into the body without refining, and refining them repeatedly, so that the physical ability is finally close to the level of great power that the ancient Taoist practitioners have. Even if the final effect of this exercise on physical cultivation is far inferior to the powerful realm of ancient Taoist practitioners, which can ultimately allow practitioners to capture the sun and the moon, move mountains and fill the sea, at best, they can invite the true power of the gods and move a mountain, but it is much higher than other Taoist practitioners now. So he simply called this Taoist practice that is inferior and more than the lower ones, called the Nine-River Great Dao.

In the state of Taoist mind, Xu Changqing also understood one thing, that is, why his true essence of golden elixir can never be completely converted into golden liquid true essence, reaching the initial stage of refining qi and turning into gods. The reason is that he has a knot in his heart, such as his mother's experience, his relationship with the Chen family, etc., is his knot in his heart, and it is also a demon in his heart. If these knots cannot be untied, even if he gets spiritual objects in heaven and earth in the future, he will not be able to break through the barriers of the mortal path and the great way and form a golden elixir in the great way. In fact, his master had long expected that his cultivation would stagnate, so before he died, he repeatedly reminded him to forget or resolve his grudges and grudges of his own. Unfortunately, this kind of reminder did not play much role, and he would have been treated as a wind in his ears. So the first thing he did this time was to solve the knot in his heart, otherwise it would be too dangerous to deal with the knot in troubled times and the demons in the north with his current skills.

Xu Changqing stood up from the ground, and the dust on his body shattered like a hard shell, fell to the ground, and raised a piece of dust.

"Uh!" After standing up, he couldn't help but stretch, and the bones all over his body made a crisp sound, like fried beans. An invisible energy came out of his seemingly thin body, pushing the dust on the ground away like ripples. When the energy disappeared, the dust raised immediately enveloped him again.

"Looking at how I am, I can almost compete with those ghost cultivators in Mangshan!" Xu Changqing looked at his hands with green veins as vines as wrinkled arms, and then saw his current appearance from the mirror in the house. He couldn't help but smiled with a self-deprecating smile.

He looked at the scene filled with dust around him and felt that he could use it to try out the new Taoist Dharma he had learned from his hard practice in the state of Taoism this year. He raised his arm, opened the hand that was almost like a ghost claw, and chanted: "Five elements earth spirit, collect it!"

With this simple sentence, a suction force was generated in Xu Changqing's palm, and all the dust around him was concentrated, and a small earth ball was quickly formed in his palm. This is a new Taoist method that Xu Changqing learned from the Yin and Yang and Five Elements Hands of the Wudang Taihe Gate. It does not require any formation, seal and spell. Just using the true essence as a guide, it can directly drive the five elements spiritual energy that exists in heaven and earth. Although the power of this new Taoist method is far from comparable to that of the real Taoist method, it is better to use it quickly and conceal it, and it is most suitable to use it for sneak attacks.

Xu Changqing used the earth spirit and water spirit to clean up the Yizhuang for a while, then sat cross-legged and looked inside, and a wry smile appeared on his face. At this moment, in his middle dantian, his mind had completely merged with the true spirit of the Great Dao, and turned into a word Tao with purple light. And there was always a void power slowly injected into his mind and condensed around the word Tao.

In addition, since his cultivation has not reached the stage of fasting, after this year of hard work, the true essence of the golden elixir in his body has been exhausted in order to maintain the most basic needs of his body, which is not much better than before the mountain was closed. Fortunately, the Nine-Rule Dao can borrow the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to restore his skills to the point of the past few days. In addition, since the body has been relying on the true essence of the golden elixir for the past year, the bones of the body have been trained to have only some impurities and fat removed, and the golden body is more refined, but the internal organs have not been cultivated. After a year of not being used, some organs have begun to show signs of shrinkage and destruction.

The internal organs belong to the five elements. Xu Changqing slowly absorbed the five elements of heaven and earth through the new Taoist method, nourishing the damaged internal organs until he completely recovered as before. This time, he woke up from entering into meditation. This repair of the internal organs and five elements made him accidentally find a way to use the five elements of heaven and earth to refine the internal organs. Although as long as he formed a golden elixir of the Great Dao, he could automatically enter the state of fasting and severing breathing, and it didn't matter whether there was or not, but for now, the internal organs and five internal organs are undoubtedly a weakness of the physical golden body. Why not make up for this weakness now?

In addition, he also found that when he used the five elements of heaven and earth to nourish the internal organs and five internal organs, the Dingtian Hunyuan Pearl in the sleeve that had not reacted for more than a year could automatically pass through the Dao barrier of the Qiankun in the sleeve and absorb the five elements of heaven and earth that gathered into the body. Originally, according to the deduction of the ancient practice of the Qiankun method, the Dingtian Hunyuan Pearl was the chaotic energy that opened up a living world. However, for various reasons, the Dingtian Hunyuan Pearl failed to complete the final evolution, and the only remaining ability to maintain the operation of the Qiankun world in the sleeve. Now the Dingtian Hunyuan Pearl is re-operated and began to absorb the spiritual energy of the five elements of heaven and earth. Although he did not know what the Dingtian Hunyuan Pearl would become, in his opinion, it would be better to have changes than not.

Since he found a way to improve his cultivation, Xu Changqing decided to enter the world and take the opportunity to find a way to untie his heart. He cleaned up the Yizhuang a little, then walked out of the Yizhuang and formed a magic seal towards the Jike bamboo curtain. He used a small amount of Jindan true energy to activate the little bit of the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth wandering around, injected it into the Jike bamboo curtain, and recited: "Everything Heaven, the Dharma eyes cover the sky, hurry up and as the law order, hidden!"

Under the influence of his magic spell, the Taoist talisman formation on the Juke bamboo curtain immediately burst out with layers of waves of light, and then enveloped the entire charity village and turned into a peach blossom forest.

Then Xu Changqing's pair of dry hands changed the magic seal, circulated the true essence, and moved his mind and said: "The great way is unsealed and enclosed into the world, and collected!"

I saw a purple light emitted from the Dao character's mind, which was stamped on the Dharma seal, and poured into the Dao map covering the surface of Taohua Mountain through the Dharma seal. The Dao map immediately changed, floating up from the ground like a blanket, covering the sky above the Taohua Mountain. Fortunately, it was late at night, otherwise it would inevitably cause a commotion. Then the Dao map gradually shrank and became the same size as that of the original hanging on the wall, suspended on Xu Changqing's head, constantly rotating. Finally, the purple light of the Dao character's mind rushed into the Dao map, pulling it, and entering the middle dantian through Baihui and Du meridians, and integrating into the Dao code. It was not until this time that he realized that the purple light condensed by the Dao code's mind was actually used to nourish the Dao map. The shape of the Dao map will become increasingly faint until it is completely transparent, and then this Dao map will be completely refined.

After retrieving the Dao Map, Taohua Mountain did not seem to have changed much, and it was still filled with white fog. But if you are careful, you can find that the power of keeping people thousands of miles away in the white fog has disappeared, and ordinary people can shuttle through the fog, but after entering, they will inexplicably walk out of the place they originally walked into. Taohua Mountain itself is a very large maze array. After the indirect effect of the Dao Map, the entire Taohua Mountain also produced a little real spirit of the Dao Mountain, and gradually evolved into an amazingly large mountain-closing spirit treasure. Even if there is no Dao Map, Taohua Mountain is still in a state of mountain-closing, but its power is not that great. When you encounter a little Taoist practice, you can get through it. Therefore, Xu Changqing integrated the bamboo curtain of the Shuke and Taohua Mountain to increase its power of mountain-closing.

After everything was arranged, Xu Changqing picked up a bamboo stick from outside the charity village and walked down the mountain like a beggar.

Although the mountain city of Chen Family Chong has become extremely prosperous this year, the Chen family mansion seems lonely and deserted. Most of the children of the Chen family's side are dispatched by Chen Deshang to various places to assist his children in managing the Chen family's business. At present, except for a few elderly people who stay here in the Chen family mansion, there are only some children of the Chen family who are unwilling to leave, who still live in the big house. Whenever the lanterns are on, the deserted house is in a very sharp contrast with the bustling mountain city outside.

In this year, the Chen family deliberately withdrew from the management of Chenjiachong Mountain City. In this way, Wanhualou and Sanwei Teahouse gradually took over the folk affairs of the mountain city. Wanhualou is one of the outer halls of the prostitute in the lower nine-level side door. After Sanwei Teahouse showed its hidden strength for many years when fighting with Wanhualou, Chen Xiong, who is now the actual ruler of Chenjiachong, found that Sanwei Teahouse is also one of the lower nine-level side doors.

Among the lower nine-rate side forces, except for the two major forces of prostitutes and singers, there is another major force that is also very disgusting, that is, the Hunmen. As the name suggests, the Hunmen is a gangster. They are different from the two sects of prostitutes and singers. They are completely a mess. According to the large division, the Hunmen is divided into two sects of Taoism and vulgarity. According to the small division, the Dao is divided into *, Bailian Sect, etc., and the customs are divided into Baixiangmen, Zhaocai Hall, etc., among which the Sanwei Teahouse is one of the halls of Baixiangmen.

Most of the Baixiangmen are gangsters. There are very few who really practice Taoism. They do things like some gangs. They do bad things such as cheating, robbing, rape and other bad things, but sometimes one or two righteous men will come out. When doing things, when they meet fat sheep, they usually take action first by the lower gangsters. The lower gangsters cannot handle it, so they hand it over to practitioners who practice Baixiangmen. The other laws of Baixiangmen are usually based on evil methods in the ecstasy technique. Among them, the natal practices that are mainly practiced are the Wuxiangjue created by the Immortal and Buddha Sect in the Ming Dynasty. The biggest feature of Wuxiangjue is hiding. Both appearance and skills can be hidden very deeply, so Xu Changqing has never seen Li Sanyuan's Taoism.

Baixiangmen and Prostitution Sect can be said to be mortal enemies. Many prostitutes in the Prostitution Sect are cheated of money and sex by the people of the Prostitution Sect. Moreover, many businesses of the Prostitution Sect are sometimes ruined by the Baixiangmen, so the Prostitution Sect has always spared no effort to attack Baixiangmen. Due to the huge power of the Prostitution Sect, other forces in the Hunsect dare not intervene to help their fellow disciples, which has made Baixiangmen always passive. However, because of their special skills, those practitioners in charge are rarely caught, and most of the people who are caught are some low-level gangster leaders.

Today, Li Sanyuan, the elder of Baixiang Sect, and Yun Guan, the eldest disciple of the prostitute, actually sat together, and asked the same question when Xu Changqing would come out of seclusion?

Originally, according to Chen Xiong's identity, he didn't need to pay attention to these two people, but because Xu Changqing was also a low-ranking man, he reluctantly met them. Although he was also anxious about the two people's problems, he could only say vaguely: "Come out naturally when it's time to come out."

At this moment, the two of them didn't even have a fight at all. The things in their hearts were far greater than the dispute between the two gates. To be serious, it was a matter of life and death. They were helpless in the face of Chen Xiong's Youzai and the others. They tried to break through the Peach Blossom Mountain Gate, but unfortunately they returned in vain.

At this time, an old Taoist priest who had always closed his eyes and rested at the side of Chen Xiong suddenly opened his eyes and shouted outside the door: "Who is it!"
