The Other Side of Deep Space

The previous chapter should be Xu Fu, a typo, which was corrected at the time.

If you don't understand, ask. Wang Xuan showed doubt and temporarily interrupted Lao Chen.

"Lao Chen, you are not right. You are not going to convert to Buddhism because you learned the Bodhisattva Fist from the ghost monk. How can you have the title of an ancient Buddha in your realm?"

Lao Chen shook his head and said, "The water of Buddhism is too deep. People often abandon their physical bodies. I am really afraid. It's okay to learn their physical skills Bodhisattva Fist, but I dare not turn to their fundamental methods. I am afraid that I will burn myself into relics in the future."

Qingmu was speechless and felt that his master was still very cautious.

After Lao Chen explained, he glanced at Wang Xuan and said, "When mentioning Randeng, you actually have such an association. You can't do this. You need to read more books related to the old skills to enrich your foundation."

Wang Xuan wanted to hit his old colleague. Was he seriously despising him?

Old Chen spoke earnestly, advising him to read more Taoist scriptures and read books on the old arts when he had nothing to do, which would be good for him.

Wang Xuan endured it. There was no other way. Now he couldn't hit Old Chen. Not only did he have to be silent, but he also had to listen humbly to him talking about the division of realms applicable to ancient and modern times.

Old Chen explained: "The light is the heart lamp. The spiritual light illuminates the night sky of longevity, allowing us to see the dim road ahead and recognize the direction."

Wang Xuan pondered for a while and said: "Let's talk about it from the beginning. What is the fog? Have I reached this level?"

Old Chen was surprised and said: "Didn't I say last time that if we divide it by the rank of Go, I have just become a professional player, and you are still honing among amateur players."

At this moment, not only Wang Xuan felt looked down upon, but Qingmu also felt that he was attacked indiscriminately.

"The fog refers to people who have just become true practitioners. Looking inward, they can see some of the conditions in their bodies, as if they are covered by a hazy fog." Old Chen explained.

He noticed that the two people looked at him unkindly, and said, "You want me to classify 'amateur chess players'? Then I'll say two simple words, below the master, master, grand master, and if you break through, you will be a 'professional chess player', that is, a true practitioner in the field of old arts."

At this time, even Qingmu wanted to beat his master! Those words were not very hurtful, but extremely insulting.

The master actually became a transitional unit, and those who did not reach it were uniformly called below the master. If this spread to the outside world, I guess everyone would want to beat Lao Chen to death!

"Okay, you continue to talk about it!" Wang Xuan didn't want to listen to his instructions. He had to work hard to improve himself in the future so that he could beat Lao Chen up in the future.

Lao Chen nodded and said, "I am now in the fog stage. When I first looked at myself, my body was dark and I couldn't see the surrounding scenery."

Wang Xuan sighed that Lao Chen had truly stepped into the mysterious field of old arts. This was a qualitative change, and he began to come into contact with the terrifying and powerful extraordinary!

"Remember, the fog is not a figment of my imagination, but a scene I really saw. These are all based on experience. If you suddenly step into this level, don't be afraid or hesitate. If you can see a little light in the fog, just follow it and go on."

The so-called little light refers to the spiritual realm.

Lao Chen smiled and said, "In the past, I triggered the touch state many times. Although it was a pity that I couldn't enter the inner scene, my spirit had a qualitative change and finally formed a spiritual realm. For me, after consolidating it, calming down and accumulating for a while, I can directly light the lamp!"

The second level of the old art field, lighting the lamp, must have a deep enough accumulation of spiritual energy to have the hope of cultivation. But it is not to really ignite the spirit, but to temper the spiritual realm and make it concentrated. Finally, it is like a lamp hanging under the originally dim night sky of Changsheng, illuminating your way forward and pointing out the direction for yourself.

"Are these the real scenes seen when looking inward?" Wang Xuan asked.

Lao Chen nodded, then said the third level, saying: "Although I haven't entered the field of burning lamps, I can vaguely sense the road behind it. Combining the old art secrets recorded in the Daozang and the pre-Qin bamboo slips, I have understood what the third level is. There is the "life soil". Don't underestimate or ignore this field. It is related to your future. Both the pre-Qin alchemists and Taoists attach great importance to this place. It can nourish life and is the place where vitality begins."

He himself has not reached the level of life soil. He can only talk about it in general terms based on the records in the book, but cannot specifically demonstrate the process of reaching it.

"The fourth level is collecting herbs." Lao Chen quickly said the next realm.

"Collecting herbs, after reaching this field, do you need to use herbs to practice?" Wang Xuan asked.

As a result, Wang Jiaozu was "beaten" again!

Old Chen glanced at him and said, "When you were at work, I saw you secretly reading the Taoist scriptures every day. Where did you look? Didn't you see the term "collecting herbs"? This is a process that Taoists attach great importance to."

"Old Chen, you are spying on me every day!"

Old Chen said righteously, "As a leader, I saw that you were not doing your job at work. I was already tolerant enough not to call your name or deduct your salary. How can you slander your old leader like this?"

Wang Xuan was speechless and wanted to say, isn't that a nursing home?

"Collecting herbs means collecting the precious herbs in your body to achieve yourself. When you step into this field, you must master the timing of collecting herbs and never be careless. I will give you two books later and study them carefully. This kind of thing has always been kept secret and has always been passed down from master to apprentice. Very few secrets are recorded on paper."

What Old Chen said was true. The secret of collecting herbs is extremely rare, especially rare and precious.

"Of course, you practiced the root method on the bamboo slips of the pre-Qin Dynasty. The foundation is solid enough. It doesn't matter if you don't have the secret. I'll give you a little reference."

Wang Xuan nodded, and then continued to ask for advice.

Lao Chen said: "That's about it. Let's talk about these four levels first. People should be low-key and need to move forward step by step."

"You haven't figured out the way ahead yet, have you?" Wang Xuan was suspicious.

Lao Chen nodded calmly and said: "The levels I mentioned are universal for all roads. There are no problems or hidden dangers. I am a little worried about the future."

He further added, "After completing these four realms, whether you want to transform medicine into golden elixir, or follow the lofty and quiet road of the early Taoists, or continue the brilliant road of the pre-Qin alchemists, there is no problem at all, you can continue!"

Lao Chen put his hands behind his back, with a calm attitude. In a sense, the road he summarized from ancient books is indeed very safe.

From ancient times to the present, no matter what path people take, they cannot avoid these four levels.

"I don't know if it's a coincidence, I consulted a lot of ancient books and found clues from them. I found that these four realms applicable to all roads in ancient and modern times may also be vaguely related to those secret roads."

Lao Chen whispered, saying a very surprising discovery. These were not directly recorded on paper, but he noticed from some secret words.

"Let's not talk about the level of fog. Lighting the lamp is the heart lamp illuminating the way ahead, which may have something to do with 'finding the way'. As for the life soil, it is rumored that the first person among the pre-Qin alchemists to enter the inner scene was probably triggered after stepping on the life soil. As for the field of collecting medicine, if you can get the heavenly medicine in the future, it will be more terrifying and powerful."

Wang Xuan was surprised, and Qingmu was also dazed. Lao Chen actually found these things from those classics. These realms are indeed very particular.

"However, ordinary people should not think about it. Even geniuses don't need to hope too much. Only extremely special or abnormal people can occasionally gain something." After saying that, Lao Chen glanced at Wang Xuan. After all, Wang Jiaozu was a little special. Now he can enter the inner scene by himself.

Wang Xuan felt like he was scolded. He stared at Lao Chen.

They talked about this for a long time.

Finally, Lao Chen's eyes were bright and he said: "As for the road ahead, you and I need to practice it and be brave to explore. The most brilliant era of the old art has not yet arrived, waiting for you and me to rise!"

This time Qingmu did not despise his master in his heart. He suddenly felt that Lao Chen really had some ideas.

Wang Xuan pondered and felt something in his heart, saying: "The old art is not old!"

"That's right, the new art is not new!" Lao Chen nodded in response.

"What do you mean?" Wang Xuan looked up suddenly. He didn't know much about the new art in the deep space and had not been in full contact with it.

Old Chen sneered, "The new technique is a big pit. Some people will be trapped sooner or later and nothing will be left!"

Then he turned to look at Qingmu and said, "You can learn the new technique, but you can't be completely trapped in it. You need to learn it in conjunction with the old technique."

Qingmu was surprised. Old Chen used to support him to take the new technique path, but now his attitude has changed.

"I used to think that your old technique path was coming to an end, so I asked you to try the new technique path. But now you have a Patriarch Wang by your side. If you find a chance to enter the inner scene one or two more times, I guess you can pave the way for you. Besides, you will soon have a Chen Randeng by your side. It doesn't matter if you don't take the new technique path. At most, you can learn from it!" Old Chen was quite confident.

Wang Xuan and Qingmu both looked at him, wanting to hear his further explanation.

Old Chen really had something to say. He sighed and said, "I was also shocked by what happened in the inner scene recently. Comparing the two, I feel that the new technique will not be that simple!"

Then he asked, "Do you know where the new technique came from?"

Wang Xuan said, "Didn't they say that super matter was discovered in a mysterious place, and finally they developed new techniques?"

"Can they research such things? They are too good at beautifying themselves. The truth is, they are all dug out of the ground!"

Old Chen became very serious and said, "Don't you have any doubts? There are many types of new techniques, which are very similar to the means that people who have successfully practiced the old techniques in ancient times can manifest. As a result, those people in the new technique field started with these things that are almost like magic, which is really abnormal. Of course, the power of the two cannot be compared."

Wang Xuan nodded. The new technique is indeed a bit strange.

Old Chen said: "The new technique is not new, it is all dug out from the soil, I don't know how many years ago it was buried, maybe something more amazing will be dug out in the future. But I feel more and more that this may be a big pit. I have some doubts that this is probably a benefit that someone deliberately left behind, waiting for later generations to contact and explore in depth."

Wang Xuan was surprised and said: "It sounds like this method is a bit sophisticated and familiar. Why do I feel that it is a bit similar to the trap left by the people who have passed away?"

Old Chen nodded seriously and said: "I also experienced the things in the inner scene, and I vaguely felt that the methods were similar, so I felt a little uneasy and suspicious."

"I think the ancients were too pitfalls, and they all deserve to be beaten. After finding them, bury those who should be buried and burn those who should be burned!" Wang Xuan blurted out.

Soon, he glanced at the jade box containing the charred bones not far away, and quickly added: "Only the sword fairy who does not cheat future generations, is kind-hearted, and extremely beautiful is worthy of respect and is destined to live forever in the world!"

"So, those people in the new art field, who knows what terrible troubles they will cause in the end!" Old Chen sighed.

Wang Xuan was a little confused and said: "Could it be that the immortals entered the starry sky earlier than modern people with super battleships?"

In addition, he thought of the fact that the female Taoist priest wanted to keep him in the old land for three years. Did she discover something after entering deep space?
