Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 6: Zangxiang Sutra

When he woke up early in the morning, Xu Muyang saw that a portion of Tremella fungus and lotus seed soup had been placed in front of his table, which could also be regarded as a tonic. It was impossible to prepare such a breakfast for guests in an inn, so Xu Muyang knew that this must be Tang's soup. Zed did it.

Although at his level, this ordinary lotus seed soup has little effect on him, the other party's intention still makes Xu Muyang feel quite comfortable, not to mention that the lotus seed soup is stewed at the right temperature and tastes good. , it’s good to just enjoy the food.

After breakfast, Tang Jie came to visit Xu Muyang and asked him where he was going next.

This really stumped Xu Muyang.

He came here to avoid being chased. In fact, he had no fixed destination. He just walked wherever he wanted.

Now that Anyang Mansion is in the far east, and going further east is the endless sea. Is it possible that I still want to escape to a deserted island?

Seemingly seeing Xu Muyang’s hesitation, Tang Jie said: “If Master Xu Muyang doesn’t have any place in particular that he wants to go to, I have a suggestion. It’s better to buy a house nearby and find a place. A pure place to cultivate and heal."

"Buy a house?" Xu Muyang was surprised.

"Yes. If it's a matter of money, Master Ethereal doesn't need to worry. I happen to have some money here, which should be enough to buy a small house."

"But that's your money."

"Those horses were also brought by Master Xu to kill horse thieves, so they should be part of Master Xu." Tang Jie replied neither humble nor arrogantly, but the name was changed from Master Xu who unknowingly omitted the word "ling" and became "Master Xu". Master Xu.

Xu Muyang didn't realize this, but hesitantly said: "After all, I am not suitable to live here forever."

"You can just sell it when you no longer want to live there. Besides, Master Xu is slightly ill now, and there is no one around to take care of him. I happen to be looking for something to do nearby, so I can take care of him when I have free time." Tang Jie continued.

After arriving at Anyang Mansion, Tang Jie had determined that Xu Muyang was indeed a person with no fixed place to go. In this case, it was better to leave him here.

If he wants to follow Xu Muyang to cultivate immortality, he must stay by Xu Muyang's side. If Xu Muyang wants to leave, he has to follow, but he can't find a reason to continue walking together. If he follows closely, Xu Muyang will Yang will also notice that he has ulterior motives. Although this intention will be exposed sooner or later, before the relationship reaches a certain level, the sooner the better.

So since you can't follow the other party, let the other party take the initiative to stay.

Xu Muyang didn't know that he had so much trouble in his stomach, and he was still worried about the cause and effect. He thought that if he really left, he wouldn't be able to understand the cause and effect, so he might as well just listen to Tang Jie and stay.

But if this is the case, the house he lives in is also bought by Tang Jie. Doesn't that mean he owes another debt?

Or as Tang Jie said, he also had a share of the money?

When I think about it, I feel that it is not appropriate. After all, I abandoned the horse in the first place. If others pick it up and make a fortune, I should share it. Wouldn't it mean that all scavengers in the world will be robbed?

But if I can’t live here, where can I live? Even at this inn, Tang Jie is paying the bill!

He couldn't figure out how to settle the account. He just felt that his head was extremely heavy, so he simply stopped thinking about it and waved his hand to let Tang Jie handle it.

Tang Jie was very fast in his work, and it only took him two days to find a good house.

The house is an old house downstream of Fengpingdu outside Anyang Mansion. The original owner sold it due to family decline, and Tang Jie bought it for one hundred and fifty taels of silver.

The procedure for buying a house is very simple. You just need to hire a well-known elder nearby to be the matchmaker, sign the contract, and pay the money.

The owner of the house used Tang Jie's name, but when writing the contract, the elder did not ask further questions after hearing Tang Jie's name, and wrote the word "Tang Jie" with a stroke of his pen.

Tang Jie wanted to point it out, but then he thought that he didn't know enough about the world and it would be safer to have a pseudonym, so he agreed to the matter.

After buying the house, Xu Muyang came here and saw that the house was not big, but it had two main rooms and six main rooms. The location was a bit remote, but it had Xiaoyuan Mountain in the back and Liuye River in front. It can be regarded as a good place with mountains and rivers at its back and elegant scenery. I am deeply satisfied.

The most rare thing is that this area is actually relatively rich in spiritual energy, making it a good place to practice peace of mind.

Xu Muyang immediately knew that Tang Jie was not just looking for him, so he asked Tang Jie. Sure enough, Tang Jie was interested in the spiritual energy in this area.

This also made Xu Muyang very curious: "How do you know that this area is full of spiritual energy?"

Tang Jie replied: "This family had planted spiritual grains for the Immortal Sect before, but the descendants were not interested in farming, so it was abandoned. Since it is a place where spiritual grains can be planted, the spiritual energy should be sufficient, and the immortals will never pick the wrong place. Well. Moreover, roads in this area extend in all directions, which is more convenient for you."

What he said about the smooth road naturally means that if someone is chasing Xu Muyang in the future, Xu Muyang will have more opportunities to escape.

Hearing this answer, Xu Muyang was completely stunned.

He looked at the room Tang Jie had found for him and saw that it had been cleaned. Next to it is the study room, which contains the writing desks and the Four Treasures of the Study Room. Beyond the room is the courtyard, where you can practice in peace.

This young man actually took care of everything in an orderly manner.

Then the way he looked at Tang Jie was finally a little different.

After a while, Xu Muyang nodded and said: "At such a young age, I think very carefully."

At this time, when he looked at Tang Jie, he finally felt that this boy was interesting and was no longer anxious to separate from him.

There is a vague feeling in my heart that life will be much easier in the future with this kid by my side.

From this day on, Xu Muyang officially moved into this house in Fengpingdu, and Tang Jie naturally lived here with peace of mind - I can't buy a house for you to live in, I can live in an inn myself, right?

Due to the purchase of furniture, there was not much money left, so Tang Jie found a job in Anyang Mansion.

He worked in the city during the day, and when he returned to the house at night, he would cook for Xu Muyang, wash clothes, clean the courtyard, and take care of the house properly.

Xu Muyang only needs to sit quietly every day to recover from his injuries.

Occasionally, he would sit alone, holding an ancient bronze book from that day in his hand, turning it over and over, not knowing what he was looking at, but most of the time he just sighed.

Tang Jie’s work really made people worry-free. Tang Jie thought of many trivial things in life that Xu Muyang hadn’t thought of himself. With him around, Xu Muyang basically didn’t have to worry about life, so he unknowingly During this time, Xu Muyang also got used to Tang Jie's service.

There are too many lice but no need to worry about too many debts. As time goes by, Xu Muyang simply stops thinking about cause and effect.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them have been living here for half a month, and the two of them are gradually getting along well with each other.

That night, Xu Muyang was still practicing the Hidden Image Sutra in the yard, while Tang Jie was watching from the side. Both of them had become accustomed to it.

After practicing a set of Zangxiang Sutra and Xu Muyang finished the exercise, Tang Jie handed him a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Brother Xu for recovering from his injury."

He and Xu Muyang have become increasingly close friends over the past few days, and they can now call him Brother Xu directly.

"It's just three points recovered... Well, how did you see it this time?" Xu Muyang asked.

Tang Jie replied: "Brother Xu used to do only eleven movements every time he practiced the Zangxiang Sutra, but today he did twelve. It can be seen that it was not that he didn't want to do it before, but that he was unwilling to do it. Now that he can After doing twelve, the injury is naturally getting better."

"It's true." Xu Muyang was not surprised that Tang Jie was so attentive, and said with a smile: "This twelve-step exercise method of the Zangxiang Sutra has the effect of increasing spiritual energy. A few days ago, my energy and blood were low. Because of the loss, I didn’t dare to perform the complete twelve postures. Now that the injury is getting better, I can finally perform the complete twelve postures."

Speaking of this, he looked at Tang Jie: "Thanks to your dedicated service and care during this period, I can heal my wounds without any distractions."

"When Brother Xu completes this Zangxiang Sutra, will he be able to completely drive away his domineering energy and heal his injuries?" Tang Jie said excitedly.

"It's not that easy. The Hidden Image Sutra is just a basic exercise and it doesn't have much effect on healing."

"Isn't Brother Kexu already a real person in Tianxinjing? Why do you need to relearn the basics? Oh, I know, it must be that you didn't study seriously when you were a child and didn't lay a good foundation."

“Nonsense!” Xu Muyang was angry: “Although this Zangxiang Sutra is a basic exercise, it has an extraordinary origin. It emphasizes focusing on the mind, focusing on the will, and using the body to fit the Tao. Meaning: Qi travels through hundreds of meridians, reaching them without any hindrance..."

He spoke a long paragraph in one breath, and the main idea was that the Hidden Image Sutra has great origins and extraordinary effects. When it came to excitement, he even brought out some of the exercises formulas in the Hidden Image Sutra.

After talking for a while, he suddenly woke up and glared at Tang Jie: "You kid, you are trying to trick me again."

He had been in contact with Tang Jie for a long time, and gradually got to know this kid, and realized that he was not ignorant at all, but just pretending to be cute and stupid. Every time he talked to him, Tang Jie would tell him a lot about the world of cultivating immortals. Therefore, Tang Jie no longer knew anything about cultivating immortals as he did in the past. Even the cultivation formulas of the Zangxiang Sutra were tricked out piecemeal. Out a little.

But Xu Muyang didn't care about it.

During this period of time, he was taken care of by Tang Jie, and he also liked Tang Jie quite a lot. As people developed feelings for each other, they naturally stopped caring about many things.

He was tricked by Tang Jie. To put it bluntly, he was willing to be tricked.

When he thought about it, the Zangxiang Sutra was extremely obscure and extremely difficult to practice. Even if he practiced it as a real person in this state of mind, he had not seen any results so far. It was even more impossible for Tang Jie to comprehend the complete formula from this scattered formula. Now he has become more and more proficient in the practice of self-comfort.

At this moment, when he heard Xu Muyang reprimanding him, Tang Jie just smiled and said nothing, his expression innocent and pure as a child.

Xu Muyang was not fooled, and after saying a few words casually, he went back to his room to sleep.

Watching Xu Muyang leave, Tang Jie's playful face disappeared, and his child-like innocent eyes became deep and full of endless meaning.

He murmured in his mouth: "Focus on the mind and focus on the will; use the body to fit the Tao, hide the camp and give up the mind; the Qi travels through the hundreds of meridians, and is accessible without hindrance..."

But he had recited the formulas just mentioned by Xu Muyang one by one. At the same time, he moved his feet, stretched his arms, and made an extremely weird posture. It was the first starting position of the twelve postures of the Zangxiang Sutra. .

At this time every night, when Xu Muyang goes back to rest, Tang Jie will practice the Hidden Image Sutra here.

This is the only thing he can practice.

He had read the first eleven movements of the Zangxiang Sutra many times before, and he was very familiar with it after studying it every night.

Every time I do it, I feel extremely comfortable all over my body, as if all the muscles and veins in my body have been opened up by this movement. However, I always feel a little bit lacking in the end, which is the twelfth movement at the end. As a result, he failed to achieve full success.

Today he learned the twelfth new pose. After completing the first eleven movements, he used it naturally. Although it was the first time to use it, he felt extremely skilled, as if his body had been expecting this for a long time. In a moment, he actually performed a whole set of actions as smoothly as clouds and flowing water.

Tang Jie finally felt a weak breath appear in the air pockets in his body.

This Zangxiang Sutra actually allowed him to sense a trace of spiritual energy, which naturally made him overjoyed, and he immediately performed the twelve postures of the Zangxiang Sutra again.

The practice of the Zangxiang Sutra was not difficult for him at all. On the contrary, he became more and more comfortable as he did it, and the air flow in his body also increased. If he had only a vague feeling before, after he did it three times, the feeling became stronger and stronger, almost confirming its existence.

After all, Tang Jie was new to cultivation. He didn't know the difficulties and risks of cultivation. At this moment, he was so excited that he continued to perform the exercises. The air flow in his body became stronger and stronger, and gradually it swelled in his belly.

Seeing this change, Tang Jie finally realized that something was wrong and stopped quickly.

As soon as he stopped, the breath in his body immediately went crazy, leaking out along the veins all over his body. The originally comfortable feeling immediately became extremely painful. In just a moment, Tang Jie felt as if he had fallen from heaven. Go to hell. ~IndoMTL.com~ Under the impact of his violent airflow, Tang Jie's eyes, ears, mouth and nose overflowed with blood, and even the pores of his skin were full of blood. Tang Jie felt as if his whole body was being eaten by ants, and there was an airflow in it that was even more intense. It went straight to his head, and Tang Jie felt that his head was buzzing, as if something was beating wildly inside.

He knew that he would definitely die if he continued like this, so he shouted with all his strength: "Brother Xu!"

Xu Muyang rushed out of the room when he heard the sound. When he saw this scene, he blurted out: "Yumen Tianchong? How is this possible?"

——————————

PS: A friend asked why we always have to travel through time. The answer is because of thinking problems. I have always felt that in this era of information explosion, our experience, our understanding, and our thinking are our biggest golden fingers. This alone can surpass countless predecessors. It just so happens that what I am good at is protagonists who use their brains more than their fists, so this kind of understanding is even more necessary. To be honest, I really can't write about a protagonist of that era who understands various financial concepts, philosophy of life, psychological analysis, etc...

So, time travel itself is a golden finger. This is my personal writing philosophy.

Another note: The cover is temporary. I don’t know much about covers and illustrations. I’ll just get one from a reader friend and make do with it, and I’ll replace it when I find a good one.

Okay, that’s it for today. Although I took a break for forty days, I had to deal with a lot of things during these forty days, and I also traveled for a week, so I only actually worked for about twenty days. In addition to the preparation of outlines and revisions in the early stage, the manuscript has only 100,000 words. It is not a problem that I have published too many words and I am unable to follow up. I will continue to work hard to type, and I will try my best to maintain two updates this month. Well, I am maintaining it. I will update it as soon as there are big chapters. I will try to achieve a word count of 300,000 words per month. I am talking about November 10th.

That's it. Finally, thank you for your support.
