Strange world, I can seal the gods

Chapter 1253 Five Decays (Part )
If the people in the wilderness knew what Cui Yu was thinking, they would definitely go through the long river of time and hammer him.

Small Zhoutian?
What the hell?
The great way Laozi talked about requires at least one to start from becoming an immortal, and you are actually talking to me about the Small Zhoutian?
What is the Xiao Zhou Tian? Can't you just use your hands? Can you practice it with your eyes closed? Do you still need to practice Xiao Zhou Tian?

How dare you compare yourself to an ant?

This is simply unreasonable.

Of course, this was just Cui Yu's self-mockery. As a great cultivator in the Daluo realm, he didn't need anyone to preach to him. He could understand the so-called small Zhoutian and big Zhoutian at a glance. He came to listen to the lecture today just to see what this world is like.

"Elder Mingde is surrounded by the strong scent of incense, as if he has entered the Shinto path?" Cui Yu analyzed secretly in his heart: "Could it be that after the Yuanshen, this world follows the Shinto path? Then the so-called ascension to heaven also relies on the power of incense? It shouldn't be. As far as I know, the Xieyue Taoist Temple follows the pure orthodox path of Qigong practitioners." Cui Yu's thoughts flashed in his mind.

“In the early stages of my practice at Xieyue Temple, I followed the orthodox method, practicing the small and large circulations. After reaching the large circulation, I was not allowed to break through, but instead took the path of transforming the primordial spirit into a god, or becoming an ancient god or demon. You all must remember, after reaching the large circulation, you must not break through without the secret teachings of the Supreme Temple, otherwise the five decay energies will enter your body and your life will be over!” Elder Mingde said slowly.

Upon hearing Mingde's words, Cui Yu's face suddenly turned dark. Mingde said it too late. He had already broken through, and a wisp of the Five Decay Qi entered his body.

Elder Mingde preached for three quarters of an hour. The sky gradually darkened. With the sound of bells and chimes, Elder Mingde said in a gentle voice, "Today's sermon ends here. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them one by one."

As Elder Mingde finished speaking, all the disciples in the field fell silent, racking their brains to think about this hard-won opportunity and thinking about the questions they wanted to ask.

Then everyone raised their hands.

But at this moment, Cui Yu's soul slightly urged the two sounds of "Hum-Ha", and his words passed through the steps in the mountain and fell into the ears of Elder Mingde: "Teacher, I have a question."

The sound is so strange and stands out so much in the crowd. It attracts people's eyes and ears and strikes their hearts, making their souls move.

The two sounds of "Heng" and "Ha" are the sounds of the creation of the world. Even if Cui Yu was only stimulating a slight unique tone at this time, it still contained mysterious laws and immediately attracted the attention of Elder Mingde above.

"What's that sound?" Elder Mingde looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young Taoist priest sitting at the foot of the mountain. The young Taoist priest looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, but for some reason, in the eyes of Elder Mingde, this young Taoist priest was so extraordinary, exuding an indescribable temperament. Among the crowd, he was like a candle in the dark night.

The temperament of a True Yuanshen is naturally different from that of ordinary people.

Elder Mingde looked past the crowd and landed on Cui Yu: "Little Taoist priest, what's your problem?"

When everyone saw that the old Taoist priest actually named Cui Yu, they were all surprised and jealous. This was Elder Mingde personally answering their questions, which was a great opportunity for everyone. But such an opportunity actually fell on the person with the lowest qualifications in Xieyue Temple. Isn't it ridiculous?

"Brother, the ancestor actually named you! The ancestor actually named you, it's really a great fortune! It's really a great fortune! You must cherish this opportunity and ask the ancestor if there is any way to speed up your practice." Liu Bang looked at Cui Yu, his voice full of excitement:

"Fortune! Great fortune! It's really great fortune! You will also have a chance to be lucky and soar to the sky. But don't waste this opportunity."

"Ancestor, this person has low cultivation and dull aptitude. He is a well-known fool in our Xieyue Temple. Please don't give him such a precious opportunity." The eldest senior brother who was closest to Elder Mingde stepped forward, with a hint of disbelief and shock in his voice.

"Hmm?" Cui Yu looked at his senior brother: I don't have any grudge against him, right?

"Huh? When did you offend the senior brother? You have no grudge against the senior brother, right?" Liu Bang showed a look of disbelief on his face at this time.

"There was no hatred originally, but now there is hatred." Cui Yu smiled coldly.

"Brother, what you did is not fair. This was originally your chance. Why did he interrupt it?" Da Bing's face was also full of indignation. "Stop talking too much. It is the decision of the ancestor who will answer the question. How can you question it? He is not worthy of asking questions to the ancestor. Are you worthy? Are you teaching the ancestor how to do things?" Zhao Chuyan raised his eyelids at this time, and his eyes were like knives, piercing into the heart of the eldest brother: "Where did you come from, you crazy man? How can you have the qualifications to speak in front of the ancestor? Why don't you leave immediately?"

The eldest brother blushed when he heard this. He was scolded like a grandson in front of all the disciples. His face was burning. However, facing the girl who wanted to please the whole Taoist temple, he did not dare to refute. But at this moment, all his hatred was attributed to Cui Yu. If it were not for Cui Yu, how could he be embarrassed here?
This time I have really embarrassed myself and lost all face in front of all my fellow disciples.

Cui Yu did not even look at his senior brother, but stood up, climbed the stairs, and came to the front of Taoist Mingde: "I have a question, please answer it, sir. If a Qigong practitioner accidentally takes the Five Decaying Qi into his body, what should he do? Is there any way to eliminate the Five Decaying Qi?"

Hearing this, Taoist Mingde was stunned, then he looked at Cui Yu with his eyes, and after a while he said: "Absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, is the ability to absorb and exhale the essence of the sun and the moon after the practice of Zhoutian is perfected, and the big Zhoutian and the small Zhoutian are combined. You are only practicing the small Zhoutian now, and the big Zhoutian is still a long way from you. As a cultivator, we must not aim too high, we need to take one step at a time to reach a higher level. Opportunities are hard to come by, please change your question."

Mingde looked at Cui Yu and felt like cursing.

He just wanted to show off in front of the princess and show off his strength, but who knew that not only did he click on Cui Yu, but the other party also asked such a tricky question.

If he knew how to get rid of the five evil energies, he would have become a Buddha long ago. Why would he still be crying and pretending to be cool here?
You ask him questions that even the ancient gods can't solve? Isn't this just making things difficult for him?

Just looking at Cui Yu's pure and serious eyes, he had no place to vent his anger even if he was full of anger. He could see that the boy in front of him was really asking him questions seriously.

But isn’t it absurd that you, who haven’t even completed a full cycle of cultivation, are discussing this issue with me, who hasn’t even achieved immortality?
If we had that ability, we would have entered the imperial court and become imperial teachers long ago. Why would we have to suffer here?
Cui Yu shook his head upon hearing this, his eyes firm: "Disciple has no doubts, only this one question."

“Teacher, I am also very curious. If the five energies of decay enter the body, can there be any hope?” Princess Zhao Chuyan next to him also blinked and showed a curious look.

Hearing Zhao Chuyan speak, Taoist Mingde knew that he could no longer avoid it.

At this time, the old Taoist priest was looking at Cui Yu, secretly despising him in his heart: "Why did I ask this question? It turns out that you want to show off in front of the princess and get her attention. But if you want to show off, don't use me as a background? This young man has no martial ethics at such a young age. If you miss such a precious opportunity, you will regret it one day in the future."

Taoist Mingde cursed in his heart at this time, but said calmly: "For those who practice immortality, once the Five Decays enter their bodies, they will die. Even those as powerful as the ancient immortals, the legendary Buddhas and saints, have perished in the calamity. Even the saints who control the operation of the heavens cannot dissolve the Five Decays, let alone mortals like us?"

He secretly rejoiced in his heart: "Damn it, it's a good thing I had made up for it earlier, otherwise I would have failed today. Such unpopular knowledge is really unknown to ordinary monks. But today gives me another chance to show off."

"If we accidentally allow the five energies of decay to enter our bodies, will our path to cultivation be cut off?" Cui Yu looked grim.

The five elements of decay that even the legendary saints were helpless against entered his body. How could he be so unlucky!

He suspected that it was the bad luck of the Crow Ancestor that had flared up.

The old Taoist stroked his beard as he swept the whole place with his immortal demeanor. “Not entirely. If a cultivator accidentally absorbs the five elements of decay, there is another way.”

"Another way?" Cui Yu's eyes suddenly lit up: "Please teach me, ancestor."

Looking at Cui Yu's excited expression, Taoist Mingde secretly slandered him in his heart: "This kid is simply our great enemy, and he really acted like one. People who know you know that you are only in the small Zhoutian stage, while people who don't know you would think that you have already cultivated your primordial spirit and accidentally let the five decay energies enter your body."

At this time, the senior brother, Shen Yu and others beside him looked at Cui Yu with their eyes brightened.

This method of pretending is simply textbook level!
Throw out a difficult question to attract the princess's attention, and then take the opportunity to leave an impression in the princess's mind. Are you still worried that you will not have the chance to show up in front of the princess in the future?

This is textbook-level pretense!
learnt!
At this moment, everyone looked at Cui Yu: Why didn’t we know before that this kid is actually so good at pretending.

Cui Yu didn't know about the psychological activities of the crowd. He was staring at Taoist Mingde with a pair of burning eyes. The five decaying energies entered his body, and he was really anxious.

“If you keep practicing, only cultivating magical powers without cultivating realms, you can accumulate magical powers for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years. You can travel the world with your magical powers, but you will turn into ashes after a few decades. If you are lucky enough to obtain a life-extending elixir, that would not be a bad thing.” Elder Mingde said with a smile.

Cui Yu's face darkened when he heard this. Isn't this nonsense? He already knew this road.

"My Xieyue Temple has been passed down for thousands of years. Is there no other way?" Cui Yu asked.

"The second way is to go down the mountain and join the army. After gaining military merit, you can obtain the martial arts secrets granted by the court. Then you can destroy the magic power of the Qigong practitioner and start over. But martial arts... your lifespan will still not be as long as that of a Qigong practitioner." Mingde looked at Cui Yu:

"After the Dharma Ending, the masters are in the court. The masters in the court's army practice martial arts without seeking immortality, develop bloodline abilities, and are not afraid of the five decaying energies. In just ten or twenty years, they are equivalent to our hard work of thousands of years. Therefore, since the Dharma Ending World, even if the court rules the world, the three religions have to succumb to the majesty of the court and no longer have the transcendent status they had before the Dharma Ending Catastrophe."

"Three religions?" Cui Yu was stunned when he heard this. Are there still any traces of the three religions in the world now?

After listening to Mingde’s story, a thought arose in Cui Yu’s mind: That’s it?

"If the five qi of decline enters the body, even the resurrected Buddha can't help. What else do you want to do? Instead of waiting to die on the mountain, it is better to go down the mountain to seek wealth and honor in the world. I also have many disciples in Xieyue Temple. They accidentally had the five qi of decline enter their bodies and had to be forced to go down the mountain to spend a hundred years in the mortal world. Those disciples accumulated thousands or tens of thousands of years of magic power after going down the mountain. Many of them were awarded titles and made great achievements. What's wrong with that? The road to immortality is too difficult. Even saints have returned to the ruins and perished. How long can we hold on? It's just a hundred years of survival, which is still a dead end."

Cui Yu was stunned when he heard this.

No solution?

No solution?

"Okay, you can leave now. If you have a chance to condense your spirit in the future, and the five energies of decay accidentally enter your body, you can come find me. I, your ancestor, will ensure that I can help you obtain earth-shaking wealth and glory." The old ancestor waved his hand, signaling Cui Yu to leave.

Cui Yu walked down the stairs somewhat absentmindedly. At this moment, all the disciples became alert: the opportunity to show off has come!

All the disciples bowed, waiting for the master to give them some advice, but the master turned his gaze and looked at the eldest brother: "It's you, do you have any questions?"

"It's my turn to perform, and I must pretend to be perfect. If the questions I ask stump the Grandmaster, won't the princess remember me for the rest of her life? I will leave an indelible impression in the princess' heart forever?" Seeing that the Grandmaster actually asked him questions regardless of past grudges, the eldest brother was immediately overjoyed, his eyes full of excitement, and he quickly stood up and bowed respectfully to the Grandmaster:
"Disciple pays homage to the Patriarch."

Master, you can’t blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame Cui Yu.

"What questions do you want answered?" Taoist Mingde looked at the eldest brother with a pair of clear eyes.

"Disciple Wen Xi, I am the eldest senior brother of the Xieyue Temple. Nice to meet you, elder." The eldest senior brother bowed.

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhao Chuyan, hoping that the princess of the great Zhao Kingdom could leave his name on her, even if it was just an impression, so that he would be able to rise to great heights in the future.

"Yes." The old Taoist nodded: "This child is quite respectful and polite."

"Master, since cultivators cannot achieve immortality, what is the purpose of our practice? Why don't we go down the mountain to build our careers and follow the path of secular martial arts?" Wenxi asked.

Taoist Mingde's eyes lit up. "Your question is quite interesting. We cultivate for immortality, of course. We cultivate in the mountains and practice the Great Circulation. We can live for at least two decades. After that, there is another great way that can make people live as long as the heavens. Although the generals down there are powerful for a while, few of them live for more than a decade. Why do you think they cultivate?"

"That's a good question you asked. You obviously put a lot of thought into it."

The old Taoist said this, and his eyes swept over the disciples in the field: "The biggest difference between Qigong practitioners and those down the mountain is the choice of the future. Qigong practitioners cultivate the purest magic power, which can display magical powers, pry open laws, and display all kinds of incredible Taoist methods. The lifespan of martial arts masters in the world is extremely short. In terms of offensive means, they are still better than us Qigong practitioners."

"Warriors use secret methods to develop the potential of their bodies and the power of their bloodlines. But I am different as a Qigong practitioner. Although my cultivation progress is slow, I can prolong my life and have supernatural powers. I can pray for wind and rain, and move mountains and seas. This is something that warriors can never compare to." Taoist Mingde explained very clearly.
