Chapter 023 Initiation

No one knew what happened. I just felt my heart beating out of my chest, but everything around me became quiet and silent. It was a silence that was more terrifying than death, as if I had reached the end of the netherworld. Perhaps it was a female ghost, carrying resentment that had never been cold all year round, or perhaps it was an enlightened fairy who perished in the prosperity together with the resentful spirit.

Naturally, I recognized the age of this dress at a glance, and I was filled with surprise. This dusty underground space, with its doors tightly closed, is like an underworld. Not even mice can get in. How could a Ming Dynasty woman appear? How could she get into the building and make the bone shrinking and transfiguration technique fail?

I didn't dare to delay, so I immediately got down from the tree. I saw the woman just standing still with her back exposed, as if she was unaware of all the movement, like a wood carving and clay sculpture. There were wisps of mist under the tree, and the hazy figure was like a ghost. City magic cloth.

However, the word "Ming Dynasty" seems a bit suspicious. Yu Ling's ancestors visited here in the early years of the Ming Dynasty. If it is not accidental, it is unknown that this Ming Dynasty woman may be the ancestor of Yu Ling. Thinking of this, I stepped forward and asked, "Are you a human or a ghost?"

While they were talking, I raised my hand from behind to pat the shoulder of the woman wearing Ming Dynasty clothes. Unexpectedly, there was nothing where I touched her. My hands fell into pieces, and I hurriedly stepped away. I saw a cloud of dust suddenly rising from where the woman was standing, and drifting away.

"Girl!" I thought it was poisonous, so I quickly closed my breath and covered my mouth and nose to dodge.

The woman immediately turned into a piece of dust as soon as I touched her. It was as thick as mist. There was no unusual smell in the mist-like dust.

"Who are you?" I was trying to find a trace, but a voice came from all directions and entered my mind.

"The voice of the underworld." I concluded that this voice was the voice of the underworld without much thought, but the forbidden ring still didn't respond, just like the evil mother I met before.

"I am a contract between gods and ghosts!"

"Are you a contract person between gods and ghosts?"

"Exactly!"

"You have been enlightened by the Evil Mother and can attain the Great Way. Why are you still here?"

"Just to clear up the doubts in my mind."

"joke!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, a burst of colorful smoke suddenly rose in the dark room, like mist and mist. I closed my eyes subconsciously, and then a strong air flow hit my face.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw a face as beautiful as peach and as cold as ice. She was wearing a skirt that brushed the floor. There were vertical wrinkles on the skirt. The suspenders of the skirt were tied tightly around the shoulders, hidden in the long hair. Between the long black hair. Beauty is always either gentle and graceful, or charming, but she is extremely beautiful, with one part heroic spirit, one part heroic attitude, and at the same time, she is graceful and dignified, which makes people awe-inspiring. Respect, don't dare to look at me.

"Who are you......"

"Ignorant child, why don't you kneel down when you see your ancestors?!"

I saw the woman's clear and bright pupils, her curved eyebrows, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, her fair and flawless skin showing a hint of pink, and her thin lips as delicate as rose petals.

I was shocked. Since she claimed to be an ancestor and had existed in the secret space of the Dragon Burial Pit for who knows how many years, he naturally did not dare to make a mistake. His knees unconsciously bent and he knelt down.

"My ancestors, please pay homage to Lin Kun, the younger generation."

The woman and I were only a few steps away from each other, but such a distance seemed out of reach.

She slowly approached me, and when I knelt down, I was just in time for her to take me into her arms.

"Good boy, I've finally waited for you." But for some reason, the woman couldn't hold back her tears.

Is it tears? Already drained. is blood? It is indeed transparent and crystal clear.

It has been dark underground for hundreds of years, but in the crystal clear beneath it, the red sunset, gurgling streams, lush woods, and green grass can still be clearly seen. It is as if you can see a couple sitting on the rocks by the river. The man is dressed in blue cloth, with dark green hair tied in his hair, and the woman is wearing a pink Luo Shang, fluttering in the breeze. She just leaned against the man, playing with the pebbles she picked up beside her with her left hand. From time to time, she would pick up a piece and throw it into the stream. The ripples caused by the pebble were quickly swallowed up by the gurgling stream.

"Good boy, you shouldn't be here."

"Ancestor, what exactly happened here?"

The woman picked me up and pushed her hair behind her ears with her delicate hands. She lowered her head and enjoyed the moment of hugging me. She smiled and said, "Because this is where the ultimate secret of Yu Ling is hidden."

"Ultimate?" I asked in surprise, "What does this mean?"

"I was originally born in the Hongwu period. My surname is Si and my name is Yanqi. I have been at the bottom of the dragon burial pit for five hundred years. There is no sky or night. I am neither a human nor a ghost. Back then, I came to this dragon burial pit with the elders of my clan. The bottom of the pit is to protect the secrets here." After saying this, she pulled my hands to her chest and hugged herself.

The moist air slowly condensed, and a teardrop climbed onto her slender finger, looking like a pearl, crystal clear.

It was just a tear, but it made me tremble. It felt like a cold rock suffocating me.

Si Yanqi pulled Lin Kun's hand, wanting to be hugged tighter, but my hands were so cold.

I wanted to open my mouth, but there was no sound.

My voice became weaker and weaker, and finally I could no longer hear it.

"You must know the secret of the dragon bone, otherwise you wouldn't be here." Si Yanqi's words made me feel a little chillier. Although I expected that the secrets under the Dragon Burial Pit might be related to the dragon bones, the reason why we came here was all because of Ye Heping and the person behind it. At this time, Si Yanqi said these words, which shocked me a little. .

"Dragon bones contain the power of eternal life. Do you mean to say that the dragon bones are buried under this dragon burial pit?"

"Yes, and no." Si Yanqi shook his head, "The secret of the dragon bone is nothing compared to the ultimate secret. It's like you have walked into the dragon burial pit, accidentally entered the first level of the forbidden area, and have already discovered Just like the secrets that are more important than the dragon bones, every secret here is related to the entire history."

I quickly thought of what I had seen before entering the bronze coffin, the library where the "Gold Seal Script and Jade Letter" was hidden, and the incomprehensible bronze figures, including the ones I saw later that looked like insects but not insects, and looked like beasts but not beasts. The evil mother can reveal her human form. I was surprised and said, "Are the "Golden Seal Script and Jade Letter" and the evil mother both the ultimate?"

"You are wrong. The "Golden Seal and Jade Letter" is just the tip of the ultimate iceberg. It records the method of eternal life of the dragon bone. Even if you get it without the dragon bone, you can still live forever. The reason why it is placed on the outermost layer is because you want to come in. A person who is content and retreats, if this still cannot satisfy his greed, the final result will definitely be death."

"What happened to the evil mother?" I asked.

"The evil mother is a person who has achieved immortality. Once a person becomes immortal, it means getting rid of the reincarnation of the mortal world and becoming a god. However, the power of eternal life will be integrated into the blood, and it will be reproduced from generation to generation, endlessly. "

I suddenly remembered what the evil mother said - "You are the soul to which you are destined, but you must break through human desires, otherwise you will not be able to transcend life and death, and will eventually turn into a handful of loess."

"Break through human desires, transcend life and death..."

"This is actually an initiation method similar to Tantric. The cultivator must have no distracting thoughts, completely eliminate human relations and desires, and then the yin and yang will harmonize and merge each other's blood into one, in order to obtain pure blood and pass it on. .”

This concept, which is similar to the "all four elements are empty" promoted by Buddhism, regards human desire as the source of "suffering", the source of evil that causes the soul to fall and cannot transcend nirvana, and is just an illusory body where the spirit temporarily resides. Although this idea is almost illusory and has no basis, since the words come from Si Yanqi's mouth, I can't help but not believe it.

"This kind of practice directly leads the method of obtaining eternal life to human nature. Reproduction is human nature, and the bloodline of the enlightened person is continued through the method of initiation, which is the simplest and most effective method. But in order to truly practice this method But it is not easy, even for immortal people, it is difficult to completely abandon human desires. Just a little distracting thought will make the bloodline impure in future generations, which will directly lead to premature death." Si Yanqi said.

In fact, both Tantric initiations and Taoist secret techniques (Note 1) in the early days of the Taoist sect emphasize a kind of abstinence practice. But I didn’t expect that this kind of practice method had already appeared as early as the prehistoric period, and it was also With such mysterious power.

Suddenly, a gold bracelet in Si Yanqi's hand fell to the ground, so I turned sideways and stretched out my arms to pick it up. Unexpectedly, when I turned sideways, I accidentally glanced at Si Yanqi's feet from the corner of my eye, which surprised him again. , just at this moment, a skirt slipped to the ground. Although the light was poor, he could clearly see her slender thighs.

"What are you doing?" In an instant, Lin Kun's forehead was congested and his whole body swelled, and the blood flow rate in his body roughly doubled.

This kind of stimulation was unprecedented in my life. I was suddenly swollen to the point of bursting.

"Since the evil mother has preached the truth, if you want to attain the truth, you must break through human desires."

My arms were shaking slightly, and my heart was about to jump out of my mouth. I was horrified, "No, this..."

Exhaustion and anxiety have made me haggard.

"Is this the result you want?" Si Yanqi smiled, her tears dripping on the back of Wo Kun's hand, flowing down her fingers, and a drop of bright red dripped from her fingers...

"No......"

When those tears that looked like blood fell on my face, I just felt that this dark underground world was suddenly filled with light. Si Yanqi had a smile on his lips, his eyes were slightly closed, and he was in his arms.

She caressed my face like a mother examining her child.

Note:

1. Taoism’s early Fang Zhongshu secrets: In 1973, a large number of silk books and some bamboo and wooden slips were unearthed from Han Tomb No. 3 in Mawangdui, Changsha. After sorting, 15 kinds of medical works were found, 5 of which were Fang Zhongshu works. It was named, "Ten Questions", "Integrating Yin and Yang", "Tianxia Zhidao Tan", "Health Prescriptions", and "Miscellaneous Therapeutic Prescriptions". This is the earliest extant Fangzhongshu work in my country. Based on this, we can outline the basic content of Fangzhongshu from the pre-Qin Dynasty to the early Han Dynasty.
