Qingxu Temple · Eight Scenic Spots Divide Spirit

  Xu Fei Nang deliberately pretended to be weak and escaped, because Si Kong Zhan's Yu Zhen came to chase, then let Chun Yang Si Zi, Wu Dang Si You use the "add oil" tactic to entangle Si Kong Zhan. She used the Xuan Guang Chi five light circles to capture all the needles in mid-air, attracting them to escape towards the top of the Xian Gong. Although the ruler was in her hand, it was actually being manipulated by Yue Qing from a distance. The five light circles were filled with Hun Yuan True Qi, firmly absorbing the Tian Mang Shen Zhen. Si Kong Zhan still thought that the divine needle had trapped Xu Fei Nang and was polishing her protective treasure. When he began to summon, Liu Quan immediately took out the Qing Zhong Ping, and together with Yue Qing, absorbed all the needles into it.

  Si Kong Zhan lost the divine needle again, and his heart was filled with bitterness. He saw Xu Fei Niang return from the mountain, releasing seven sword lights to kill him, with a power far surpassing before. When he responded, he couldn't help but be somewhat flustered, and Liu Bu Xiang took advantage of the opportunity to print all five old immortals on him. A white jade square seal with infinite golden aura heavily smashed his back, instantly causing him to spit blood, and fell from the air towards the ground. Before landing, he summoned the Yun Lei Xian net to protect himself, and the flying swords of the crowd were barely killed by the net, being blown away by the thousands of divine thunders on the net. He used the secret magic escape method of all heavens, merging his body into a blood light that flew rapidly southward. If he wanted to leave, no one could stop him, so they had to let him go.

  This battle, although all the way smooth sailing, also had some shocking and thrilling moments, especially for Chunyang Fourth Son, who almost got caught in the thunder net and blown to smithereens. After returning to the North Pole Immortal Palace, he couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.

  Xu Fei Nang said: "Si Kong Zhan lost his precious treasure, and for a short time, he dare not come to the Five Tai Sect to cause trouble. During this period, thanks to the help of all the Taoist friends, our Five Tai Sect is grateful for everyone's righteousness and kindness." She let Liu Quan take out three sets of magical artifacts from the Qing Cui bottle, "These are treasures refined in the Taizhen Tian Gong furnace, in the Bagua Hall, after 365 days. Although they can't be considered as extraordinary treasures, they can still be used for protection against evil spirits and are useful tools. I and Yue Shidi have discussed this beforehand, and we will give them to a few Taoist friends, just to show our sincerity."

  Everyone hastily declined, but Xu Fei insisted on giving them gifts. The four friends from Wudang received a set of eight Yang Xian knives, a set of eight Yang Shen Zhou symbols, a Taiyang Shenhua clock, and a purple flame Hunyuan hammer. They had helped out for three years since the Purple Cloud Temple, so their gifts were the most abundant.

  The Pure Yang Four Sons received a pair of Yin-Yang Lihe swords and a Liuqi Liufen instrument. A Wuji Xuan Gong fan and a Wuji Taixuan pearl were left for the Kunlun Four Friends.

  As for the Liu brothers, since they were their own people, they didn't make a fuss about it and only gave them a Taiyi Jiugong wheel, along with a gourd of Hunyuan Dan and Xuanhuang Dan each.

  The crowd had been waiting on Mount Wutai for over a year, and now that the big event was over, they all left one after another. Yue Qing still needed to continue controlling the fire in the Taiyi Heaven Furnace to refine the treasures in the Two Instruments Temple, which would take three years of effort. During this time, Liu Quan taught his disciples in the Seven Stars Temple, practicing Taoist rituals and refining their skills. Xu Fei continued to repair the protective array on Mount Wutai, organizing the Taoist rituals, offering sacrifices to refine the treasures, and replenishing the Pre-Heavenly Pavilion. She also strictly enforced the rules, supervising her disciples, and punishing those who broke the rules, either by flogging them with a whip or making them face the wall on the back mountain. For a time, Mount Wutai was filled with an atmosphere of prosperity and good fortune.

  Yue Qing was not idle in the Taiyi Tian Gong furnace, although he had to watch over the fire, he also made silent efforts. The magical treasures of Si Kong Zhan were unusable by anyone and no one dared to use them. Those were all treasures that Si Kong Zhan had personally cultivated for hundreds of years. As soon as they were taken out, they would be recalled by the opponent from a distance, even if they were used in a sacrificial ritual, they could only be controlled at will. Later on, if they encountered each other again, as long as Si Kong Zhan made some moves, he could forcibly take them back. Only Yue Qing had washed and practiced the Lie Que Shuang Gou and Tian Mang Shen Zhen with Hunyuan True Qi for a hundred days, and then personally sacrificed and cultivated them, so that they would not be taken away.

  While refining the treasure, he has been contemplating the Tongxuan Zhenjing, understanding that the universe is a crucible, with the sun and moon as water and fire, and the yuan Shen dwelling in the void between heaven and earth. During this time, he often wandered to the Taiyi Palace, sat in front of the statue of Tongxuan Zhenren, and gradually gained insight. He then began to cultivate the Taoist methods recorded in the appendix of the Tongxuan Zhenjing, including a mysterious technique called "Eight Scenic Views of the Mind". This technique was so powerful that Zhu Hong, who only had a superficial understanding of it, could evade pursuit by numerous masters from both the Orthodox and Evil Sects. Yue Qing had already begun to cultivate this technique after learning it from Zhu Hong at the Four Gates Mountain, and now, having contemplated the Tongxuan Zhenjing, he has finally mastered it.

  Yue Qing took out the Taiqing Eight Scenic Lamp he had obtained from Zhu Hong, placed it in front of him, and moved his primordial spirit into it. The lamp immediately ignited, and Yue Qing's primordial spirit became a flame, sitting upright at the center of the lamp, like a little person made of fire. Seven colors divided into five hues, with eight shadows surrounding it, arranged according to the Eight Trigrams' positions. Yue Qing suddenly felt his primordial spirit divide into eight, each with its own independent thoughts and ideas, not interfering with one another, yet still forming a single entity.

  At this time, the main yuan Shen in the center needs to be undisturbed, and as soon as there is a slight fluctuation in the divine thought, the eight yuan Shen that have just separated will be forced to return and recombine into one.

  He entered a state of meditation for several days, gradually beginning to comprehend the Tao. It was as if his entire being had merged with the void, and the lamp's flame burned steadily brighter, radiating diverse colors.

  That day, the primordial spirit sitting in the Kun position suddenly stood up, transformed into a golden light, and disappeared after a slight flash in the air.

  At the same time, far away in Qingluo Mountain, Shenhao Bi Qiu Wei Fang suddenly looked stunned and stood there.

  She was leaning against the pillow lying on the bed, with her long shirt loose and her hair disheveled. She had a gold-embroidered bellyband wrapped around her waist, and a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy sat astride her legs, his hands reaching behind her back to undo the clasp of her bellyband. Her first reaction was to give the little scamp a slap on the ear, which rang out loudly, followed by a kick that sent him tumbling to the floor under the table.

  The boy was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing: "Immortal maiden, spare my life! Immortal maiden, spare my life!"

  Wei Fengniang sat there motionless, but in fact her mind had already been taken over by Yue Qing.

  Since the last time Yue Qing came to Qingshuiyu, Wei Fengniang was affected by the "Heart Stealing" magic of the Demon Sect. Although this technique is shallow, Wei Fengniang is also a master of magic and broke it on the spot. However, the power of magic lies in its ability to penetrate deep into one's heart. Wei Fengniang thought she had broken Yue Qing's magic, but she indeed had an indelible affection for Yue Qing, which gradually became uncontrollable as they encountered each other again.

  At first, after Yue Qing left, she didn't feel anything at the beginning, but later every time she went to bed with a man, she couldn't help but think of Yue Qing. Her memories were all about Yue Qing's good qualities, and sometimes she thought that being able to hold hands with Yue Qing or even just seeing him once a day would be enough to satisfy her. She was naturally promiscuous, having slept with over a hundred men, and in the past, she never knew or could imagine that she still had such a pure side. Feeling anxious in her heart, she found many more men and performed romantic trysts with different men in different places, but every time emotions rose up, the image of that man in white would appear in her mind. Because of this, she drove away all the young men from the palace, and even lost interest in meeting old acquaintances again.

  The boy on the ground is called Lei Qilong, a disciple of Huashan School. His master, Yu Ganzhenren Jin Shenzi, was also his bed guest. It was all because of a man who had offended Huashan's Feng Niangzi Zhao Jinying years ago. Zhao Jinying did not allow Jin Shenzi to be close to her, and Jin Shenzi did not dare to offend her, so he pushed out his apprentice and told her: "This kid followed me up the mountain half a year ago, originally just a cowherd for a landlord's family. I didn't teach him any swordsmanship, only an ancient Qigong method that has been passed down. After practicing for half a year, his bed skills are not to be underestimated. He is extremely talented in this area and will definitely serve you well. Recently, my cultivation injured my kidney meridian, and I won't be able to do anything for several months. Let this kid replace me to serve you."

  Just now, Lei Chi Long came over and got intimate with her. Wei Feng Niang saw that he was born with a clear and lovely appearance, red lips and white teeth, skin as smooth as milk, even better than women. Among all the men who had slept with her, only Fen Hai Er Feng Wu, the deputy master of the Yin Yang Sect, could rival him in beauty. The rest couldn't compare. For a moment, she was stirred up emotionally, her desire surged, and immediately thought of Yue Qing again. She couldn't help but feel regretful and resentful, even more so nostalgic and loving, hating that the one in front of her wasn't Yue Qing. Just because of this obsession, she attracted Yue Qing's soul from afar, taking control of her body.

  Yue Qing's main spirit was suspended in the void, without a single thought arising. The split spirit that had emerged from him was thinking on Wei Fengniang's body. Just now, for a moment, he felt like a newborn baby, sensitive to his surroundings. Then, Yue Qing's memories and Wei Fengniang's memories surged forth like a tide. He felt himself entering a very strange state: the main spirit deeply entered stillness, suspended in the void, without stirring up thoughts or emotions, while the split spirit was receiving memories, sorting out thoughts, and giving rise to all sorts of feelings - wonder, curiosity, interest, and sighs.

  He felt that he had no thoughts at all, because his main consciousness was completely devoid of any thoughts, like a bystander, and also like a mirror reflecting everything about him clearly. The toothed bed in Qingxu Gorge, the canopy, the boy kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, the earthly fire in the heavenly furnace, the copper temple, the ancient lamp burning brightly, everything appeared exactly as it was in his own mind.

  At the same time, he felt that his mind was filled with countless thoughts: Wei Fengniang's past, Yue Qing's past, the future of Qingxu Gorge and Wudang Sect, Taiyi Zhenjie, Shimo Jing, Vajra Section Buddha Dharma, Yaochi Tian Shu...
