51. The bleak present(1/2)
On the north bank of the Yangtze River, in the dark night before dawn.
The corpse of the leader was frozen. He had finished all the battles he should have fought. He had put down his burden and finally could have a good rest.
At the feet of the righteous ice sculpture, Zhang Lan was lying there. The young master Xihua was greatly stimulated tonight and saw an unknown thing with his own eyes.
Maybe it was because of fear, maybe it was because of his mental injury, and he couldn't wake up in a short time.
Next to these two people, on the banks of the river that was flowing wildly, Zhang Moye carried his hands on his back, and lay a lazy orange cat on his shoulder. He turned his back to Chen Qiu and said softly:
"Before the weak crown, people are based on the unlost innate qi, just like fire, through practicing internal strength, the innate qi is transformed into more quantity and more convenient for mobilization of acquired qi.
In addition, nourishes muscles and bones, nourishes meridians internally, and allows martial arts to grow and strong.
After the great advancement of martial arts, the body and meridians are also nourished to great success, and they can compress and purify acquired qi, practice emptiness and return to reality, and let the vast acquired qi turn into condensed innate qi again.
This process will strengthen the body meridians again, and the body will become unhuman.
When all the true qi in the body and the cyclones in the dantian also turn into innate qi, the warrior will enter the innate realm and be able to see the extreme of martial arts."
Zhang Moye reached out and plucked his shoulder. The cat's ears said softly:
"The true qi and the innate qi are such a relationship that goes back and forth. Buddhism says it is "reincarnation", which is called "Guixu" in Taoism.
This simple theory is the foundation of the existence of martial arts in this martial arts world.
When Jianghu and martial arts appeared, this theory also appeared together.
But when every martial arts practitioner knows it, he will think deeper. After this innate qi reincarnation with the martial arts cycle, can he go further?"
Zhang Moye stopped, and he said as if he had announced a secret:
"The answer is yes. If the innate qi continues to be purified and compressed, it will eventually become the qi of the immortal."
He looked back at Chen Qiu and said:
"It's the kind of spiritual energy you think of. Although the process is not as simple as I said, there is indeed a method of refining the innate Qi in the inheritance of the immortal family.
Not only in Penglai, but also in Kunlun.
This method was originally used to guide disciples to enter the path of immortality a thousand years ago.
Let children whose innate qi in their body use this method to attract spiritual energy into their body, transform the innate qi in their body into spiritual energy, and then they can climb the path of immortality.
But after the Dharma-Ending Age, this basic breathing of immortals was reversed and used for another purpose."
Zhang Moye raised his hand, pointed at Ren Hao in his long sleeves, and said:
"Just like Ren Hao, just like Qu Xie, who practices martial arts, first cultivates the innate qi into the acquired true qi, and finally enters the innate qi, practices the emptiness and return to the real, so that the body can be filled with the innate qi.
They learned Penglai Immortal Art, and the innate Qi stored in their bodies is naturally several times stronger than ordinary warriors, just like a reservoir or a fat pig pig and piglet that has been stored.
The Penglai people came to harvest a wave, take away the innate qi, refine it, and propose a considerable amount of spiritual energy.
This is the secret of the All Spirit Formation.
It is also the reason why the black sand in the sword jade can exist for a long time."
This answer did not shock or shock Chen Qiu.
After the previous incident with Qu Xie, Chen Qiu had this kind of guess. At this time, Zhang Moye explained the reason for the operation to him, which further deepened his doubts.
He asked:
"It is really hateful to regard people as animals.
But Master Zhang, I kept wondering why Penglai took so much effort, and it was another strange fate in the fairy mountain, and it took another twenty years to appear in the world.
Every time the fairy mountain appears, I only get twenty or thirty "destined people" in the world, and I also have to give them time to grow. It is like working hard to sow seeds. In this way, even if I finally get spiritual energy, how many can I get?
This is too cumbersome, right?”
"really."
Zhang Moye nodded with deep understanding and said:
"The thieves in Penglai deceived the world and stole their reputation. Even if they do bad things, they still need to find a good reputation to cover it up. It looks cumbersome, but Chen Qiu does not mean that they are stupid.
I ask you, how long has the Penglai legend been circulating in the world?"
"Five or six hundred years."
Chen Qiu said:
"According to the fate of the immortals' inheritance and what I have learned, they were already active when the Dharma-Ending Age was opened a thousand years ago."
"In a thousand years, it appears every twenty years, and there are more than fifty times."
Zhang Moye touched his beard and said to Chen Qiu:
"If there are strong people like Ren Hao entering the Internet every time, they will have a considerable amount of spiritual energy they have accumulated over the past thousand years. But if it is just these spiritual energy, it is still far from being able to activate the Wanling Array.
Moreover, they have carefully maintained the legend of the Immortal Mountain for a thousand years, in order to be actually not just spiritual energy.
The story of immortals that has been passed down for thousands of years has long made Penglai a place like a myth on earth.
Look at Ren Hao and me, even though they know that there is something wrong with Penglai, they can't say all this clearly in the world.
Look at Qu Xie again. He was loyal to me back then. I advised him not to practice Penglai Immortal Art, but he didn't listen to me at all."
"Penglai's golden body has been formed."
Chen Qiu understood what Zhang Moye meant, and he said:
"As long as this legend of immortals is still there, no matter whether it is good or evil, or even the world, there is a good reputation that has lasted for thousands of years, and we are really hostile to them, no one will help us.
Penglai entered the world and called for a high school to tempt it with fairy art. The warriors in the world would stand on the opposite side of us in an instant."
Zhang Moye shook his fingers and looked at Chen Qiu. He said:
"You can see it very thoroughly, it is true, but it is not comprehensive yet. You have not yet jumped out of this cage of the world and thought about the problem at a higher level.
You also heard what I said to Ren Hao just now, have you ever wondered, who was the one who promoted this martial arts and the world at the beginning?"
Before Chen Qiu could answer, Zhang Moye gave the answer.
“It’s Penglai.
You must have heard of those rumors.
The initial martial arts and the initial internal skills were all derived from the Immortal Sect. After the immortals were unable to cultivate immortals, they turned to try to find a different approach, which led to the prototype of the martial arts world.
I will tell you now that the rumors are true.
In this world, all the martial arts and various internal skills are related to Penglai's arrangements.
You already know that the evil thieves in Penglai regard humans as animals and accumulate spiritual energy.
Then I will tell you that in this entire world, except Ren Haoquxie, all those who practice martial arts and those who practice internal skills are their "beasts"!
They were a thousand years ago, no!
They were planning all this before they realized that the Dharma-Ending Age was coming!
If it weren't for the arrangements of those thousand-year-old ghosts back then, there wouldn't be the prosperous martial arts era in this prosperous martial arts world.
Causes planted a thousand years ago bear fruit after a thousand years.
And now, Penglai has begun to awaken the thousand-year-old ghosts, and they are going to pick peaches."
Zhang Moye sighed and said:
"We are the people of the world, the fruits that bear on the tree.
Just wait for the All Spirit Array to open, no matter what innate qi or acquired true qi you have, you will be drawn into it, refined and extended to a continuous stream of spiritual energy.
These spiritual energy are not enough to return the heaven and earth to the era of spiritual energy, but they can restore Penglai Fairy Mountain to its fullest.
And if they are more cruel.
All kinds of spirit formations are set up in all parts of the world..."
Zhang Moye did not continue to talk, but Chen Qiu's heart was already filled with coldness.
That scene was just thinking about it, and it made people feel numb. All warriors in the world would be used as the "battery" of Penglai to extract true energy and turn it into spiritual energy.
Let "fake and spiritual world" appear everywhere in the world.
The price is that the entire world will be destroyed.
No!
Not just the entire world.
Chen Qiu thought of another layer, and he said in a complicated tone:
"A young child is reborn until he is weak. Regardless of his martial arts or not, he has innate qi in his body. The ten thousand spirit array draws not only the true qi of the warrior, but also the innate qi of those young people!"
"As long as there is still a reproduction in the world and as long as there are still children born, the operation of the All Spirit Array will be endless. What they want is the whole world!
They want to lie on billions of creatures in the world to suck blood to maintain their 'spiritual age'!"
Zhang Moye nodded and said nothing.
Chen Qiu is right.
