Inquiry about immortality

Chapter 2232: The Theory of Yin and Yang

"Although we have long-term concerns on this trip to Yongtu Immortal City, we have no immediate worries. The descendants of the gods and our human race are opening up the Pure Land, and right now they are short of manpower. If we take the initiative to surrender to them, they will surely not make things difficult for us."

Master Tongshen sighed softly, "I am indeed worried about my path and am hesitant, but it is not for the reason that your disciple mentioned."

Qin Sang listened silently, wanting to let Master Tongshen talk about it, perhaps he could give him some advice, but given his status, he shouldn't say such things.

At this point, Master Tongshen suddenly changed the subject, "I heard from your senior sister that you created a poison pill and poisoned a golden eagle leader who was close to the transformation realm?"

Qin Sang nodded and said carefully, "Master, please forgive me. I stole several of your spiritual medicines and made some random refining. I didn't expect that I accidentally made several poison pills, and the toxicity is so fierce."

Master Tongshen frowned and reprimanded, "Are you afraid now? Fortunately, you were alert and didn't test the medicine yourself. Do you have any poison pills in your hand?"

Qin Sang lowered his head and said, "They have all been used to poison the golden eagle."

"Oh? Tell me the pharmacology," Master Tongshen was so happy when he heard this that he couldn't bear to scold his disciple.

Qin Sang naturally had a plan in mind, and he gave a vague account of the pharmacology, to which Master Tongshen nodded repeatedly. He marveled at the talent of his disciple, who was able to create this poison pill by himself relying solely on the recipe in the "Qinglu Huandan Jue" and his own explanations. Who knows what kind of amazing things he will be able to refine in the future.

Thinking of this, Master Tongshen hesitated for a moment and said, "It's okay to tell you. Some time ago, your senior Lu and I, as well as several other Taoist friends, discovered a cave of a senior. There were many forbidden formations inside. We had planned to explore the cave step by step, but unexpectedly, this big change happened. We can no longer stay in the Golden Eagle Tribe's territory. We were unwilling to give up, so we took the last chance to force our way in. I got a secret book from it, which is the reason why I hesitated."

As he spoke, Master Tongshen actually took out the secret book.

The secret book was engraved on three jade plates, connected by gold threads, which made crisp collision sounds.

"Disciple, just take a look, don't delve into it. Wait until I have fully comprehended the mystery, and then I will pass it on to you."

Qin Sang took it respectfully, and when his spiritual sense passed through it, a mysterious chapter appeared before his eyes.

"The chapter on the interaction between water and fire in the Treatise on the Correspondence of Yin and Yang..."

Qin Sang murmured and read out the first line of words.

Master Tongshen explained: "The Great Treatise on the Correspondence of Yin and Yang should be a great classic, but I don't know who the author is. The chapter on the interaction of water and fire may be a fragment of this classic, or it may not even be a fragment, but a creation of later generations who observed the Great Treatise on the Correspondence of Yin and Yang..."

The voice of Master Tongshen rang in Qin Sang's ears, and at the same time, the words on the jade pendant flowed in Qin Sang's heart, and every word seemed to contain the ultimate truth of the way of heaven.

There was just the right amount of confusion on his face, but his mind was shaken by the contents of this book.

As the name suggests, "The Great Theory of the Correspondence of Yin and Yang" is an exposition of the great way of Yin and Yang. The great way of Yin and Yang is all-encompassing, and all things in the world can be explained by the great way of Yin and Yang. Conversely, the great way of Yin and Yang can be explained in countless ways.

Water and fire, one yin and one yang.

The chapter on the Assistance of Water and Fire does not simply explain the theory of the Five Elements, but uses water and fire to explain Yin and Yang, and records a secret technique of practicing water and fire together.

Qin Sang had just gained some insights into the principles of yin and yang in the Sun and Moon Palace. He could tell at a glance that what was said in the secret book was not false. It mainly explained the principle of the conflict between yin and yang.

In Qin Sang's understanding, the way of Yin and Yang contains opposition, conflict and even the mutual transformation of Yin and Yang.

The opposition between yin and yang is easy to understand, but the chapter on the harmony of water and fire focuses on the conflict between yin and yang.

As the saying goes, all things carry the Yin and embrace the Yang, and the rushing qi makes them harmonious. The "rushing" here refers to the "rushing" of the void. The Tao is rushing and it is not full. The rushing qi makes it "harmony", so that all things can be harmonized and run endlessly.

This is called the mutual assistance of water and fire.

The secret book says that when practicing this technique, water and fire will not conflict with each other, but will complement each other, and the true essence will be strong, far surpassing that of peers. In addition, when fighting, no matter which Taoist technique of water or fire is used, the power can be enhanced.

"End?"

When Qin Sang read to the end, he suddenly realized that the content was interrupted and he couldn't help scratching his head.

He has not thought about changing to the Yin-Yang School for the time being, but if he can comprehend the deeper contents of the Yin-Yang School, it will also benefit his thunder magic, and he can even use the power of black and white chess pieces to amplify the power of thunder magic.

The contents of the secret book fascinated him, but Qin Sang still felt unsatisfied because it did not involve the principle of the conversion between yin and yang.

When Yin and Yang transform into each other, it can no longer be called the mutual assistance of water and fire, but the mutual generation of water and fire. That is the true endless life!

"What a pity! What a pity!"

Qin Sang secretly felt it was a pity, but he also understood that he should not be too greedy. It was a pleasant surprise to get this article in the illusion.

The chapter on the harmony of water and fire in "The Great Theory of the Correspondence of Yin and Yang" provided him with a wonderful direction to comprehend the way of Yin and Yang. If Qin Sang continued along this path, he might be able to achieve certain achievements.

As to whether or not to continue on this path in the future, that remains to be discussed.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the doctrine of Yin and Yang is the great doctrine with a promising future, otherwise Taoism would not attach so much importance to it and even regard it as the foundation.

But Qin Sang has already made some achievements in the Mahayana killing path, and the road ahead is bright, so he will not change his path easily.

For now, Qin Sang is practicing the "Qinglu Huandan Jue" and supplemented by the "Water and Fire Mutual Assistance" chapter. With his attainments in the Yin and Yang, he will not even have the initial obstacles mentioned in the secret book. His cultivation will immediately advance by leaps and bounds, and his combat power will far surpass that of his peers.

Qin Sang's mind flashed, and he suddenly sat down cross-legged.

"Disciple..."

Master Tongshen was stunned for a moment, and seeing that Qin Sang had entered a state of meditation, he quickly swallowed the words on his lips, feeling surprised and confused.

'Crash...'

Suddenly, a slight sound of flowing water came from Qin Sang's body, as if a clear spring was flowing in his body.

Master Tongshen knew that Qin Sang was practicing the "Qinglu Huandan Jue".

But unlike before, after practicing the technique for several cycles, the sound of the clear spring became increasingly dull and almost inaudible, as if it had encountered rocks blocking its way.

'Boom!Boom!Boom! '

After a moment, the sound of the spring water turned into a heartbeat-like sound, like thunder. Qin Sang seemed to be constantly hitting the rock, trying to make a way out.

This move was useless, and Qin Sang's expression became more and more painful.

Master Tongshen felt distressed and was about to wake Qin Sang up by force, but suddenly he realized something and stepped lightly.

The entire mountain shook slightly.

Changes are taking place at the bottom of the mountain that ordinary people cannot see.

The underground fire veins were activated by an invisible force, and a wisp of fiery energy rose rapidly, passing through the mountain and coming under Qin Sang.

As soon as it came into contact with Qin Sang, this ray of fiery energy was immediately absorbed into Qin Sang's body. Then, with a "boom", the rock blocking the road seemed to be washed away by the water. Qin Sang's expression suddenly relaxed, and his breath gradually underwent a strange change.

Master Tongshen looked at Qin Sang, then looked at the jade token in his hand, his face full of surprise and even a little disbelief.

Suddenly, Qin Sang let out a muffled groan, his body twitched, the breath suddenly dissipated, and the spiritual energy in his body began to riot.

Master Tongshen reacted very quickly and immediately appeared behind Qin Sang. He pointed his finger at his Baihui acupoint and said in a low voice, "Concentrate your mind!"

With the help of his master, Qin Sang was able to stabilize the spiritual power in his body and slowly woke up.

"Did you succeed?" Master Tongshen asked impatiently.

"what?"

Qin Sang looked confused.

"Have you mastered this chapter on the harmony of water and fire?" Master Tongshen pointed at the jade token, still unable to believe it.

"I don't know either. I just saw the content above and was touched. I want to give it a try," Qin Sang said timidly. "I'm sorry that I made Master worry. I know I was wrong."

"You...you really need to change this bad habit of yours."

Master Tongshen still remembered that when Qin Sang was in Fengcheng, he dared to practice the skills he gave him forcefully and almost got into trouble.

Of course, that technique cannot be compared with the Water and Fire Combination Chapter, but with the precedent in place, Qin Sang's move did not seem so bizarre.

Master Tongshen looked at his disciple carefully and said, "Tell me what you saw in here."

Qin Sang carefully considered his words and said something that matched his own perspective.

Most of them were childish words, but Master Tongshen savored them carefully and found that the more he savored them, the more delicious they became.

One thing is certain, the story of the harmony of water and fire is not completely nonsense.

"Master, did I say something wrong?" Qin Sang asked in a low voice when he saw that Master Tongshen remained silent.

Master Tongshen coughed lightly and reprimanded: "Don't be so reckless in the future. If the master was not around today, the consequences would be disastrous. As for this article, you must not try it again without the master's permission. Got it?"

"Disciple, I obey."

Qin Sang responded, "Master, this is just one chapter of the Yin-Yang Theory. The complete Yin-Yang Theory must be so mysterious. I wonder which senior created it."

“Yes!” Master Tongshen nodded and said regretfully, “It’s a pity that I only found this chapter in the cave, and there are no other clues. Now that the cave has been exposed, I’m afraid it has been looted by the powerful people of the Golden Eagle Clan.”

As he spoke, he raised his hand, and the jade plaque in his hand jingled. "The complete 'Theory of Yin and Yang' might also be recorded on this kind of jade plaque, but it was lost for some reason!"

Qin Sang was disappointed to learn that the cave was occupied by the Golden Eagle Clan. He did not have the ability to compete with the Golden Eagle Clan yet, so he could only keep this clue in mind and look for it again when he had the chance.

……

Early morning three days later.

The cultivators gathered outside the mountain and were about to set off for Yongtu Immortal City.

The monk named Zhou summoned a flying boat.

The journey is long and we don’t know if we will have the chance to come back. Many people can’t help but look back at their homeland, unable to hide their sadness.

There was no sadness on Miss Shuang's face anymore, and she returned to her cold look. Only when she saw Qin Sang did her gaze become softer.

"Junior Sister Shuang seems to really like you," Qing Hong poked Qin Sang with his finger and whispered.

"Unfortunately, I have someone else in my heart," Qin Sang said.

"Who?"

Qinghong was excited.

Qin Sang gave her a meaningful look, then turned around and boarded the flying boat.

Qing Hong stood there in shock, "No, no, I'm your senior sister! How can I do this? My junior sister will be sad..."

This girl was indeed a coward, and she avoided him for the next few days. Qin Sang could finally have some peace and quiet.

All the cultivators boarded the flying boat, broke through the air, and turned into light to go west.

The flying boat was operated in turns by Master Tongshen and others. It did not affect Qin Sang and others' cultivation on the flying boat, but it was not so convenient for them to make pills.

That night, the flying boat stopped in a valley somewhere. Late at night, two more flying boats gathered from other directions. They were all monks who were fleeing from the Golden Eagle tribe's territory.

After the reunion, the three flying boats headed west together. Occasionally, they would encounter other escaped monks, and the team became larger and larger.

The demon pursuers they feared the most never showed up, and they encountered dangers and even robbers along the way. Fortunately, there were many experts in the team, and they were able to escape danger many times.

Several years passed since then, and the cultivators were exhausted and getting closer and closer to the rumored Yongtu Immortal City.

'call! call! call! ’

The strong wind brought sand all over the sky, the dust covered the sky, and yellow fog filled the sky and the earth.

The cultivators on the Dharma Boat looked at the scene below. Although it was not a desert, it was an extremely desolate Gobi Desert, even more desolate than the area around Lingkong Mountain.

Seeing this scene, the cultivators couldn't help but feel sad and angry. Could it be that the powerful humans were also driven to such a desolate place and only dared to open up a pure land here?

According to legend, the territories of those big and powerful clans are all fertile lands, with thousands of miles of fertile fields and magical herbs and precious materials everywhere, but the human race cannot even occupy a place comparable to Lingkong Mountain.

"Someone is coming up ahead!"

The old man surnamed Zhou was operating the magic boat. He sensed the breath in front of him and concentrated his voice to transmit the message.

A number of magic ships of various shapes immediately formed a formation in the air, showing their sharp edges and pointing at the approaching people from afar.

"I am the envoy of Yongtu Immortal City. Fellow Taoists, are you unable to tolerate the oppression of foreign races and have come to the Immortal City?"

A deep voice rolled in through the wind and sand.

"Exactly!"

The old man surnamed Zhou responded loudly, "We are all homeless people. I wonder if the envoy can be accommodating and allow us to stay in the city."

"Easy to say! Easy to say!"

The messenger was very straightforward and came closer while speaking.

The monks on the Dharma Boat were secretly on guard and looked intently. They saw a ball of golden light appearing in the front, and in the golden light there was a human monk wearing golden armor.

The messenger smiled and bowed from a distance: "Yongtu Fairy City was built specifically for you. The city is not yet full, so it is enough to accommodate you all."

After a pause, the man said loudly.

"From now on, fellow Taoists, you don't have to care about the faces of those foreign races!"

These words were very powerful. Looking back on past experiences, sentimental people shed tears on the spot.

The messenger guided the Dharma boat and landed outside the city.

Qin Sang followed Master Tongshen and walked with the old man surnamed Zhou, looking towards the Immortal City.

The so-called fairy city has no city walls, but is an unusually large spiritual formation that covers the mountains and plains.

There are people coming and going in the city, not only humans, but also many "people" with strange appearances.

Qin Sang looked at those strange yet familiar figures and thought to himself, "Finally I found the alien race!"

The old man surnamed Zhou walked side by side with the envoy, and could not help but praise the Immortal City and asked, "Is there any powerful person in the city?" (End of this chapter)
