One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 215: Opening a Mansion

Sometimes, you will find that you try hard to chase the waves, but you feel like you are standing still, as if everything is meaningless.

But sometimes, when you stand there motionless, you will find that the world is spinning madly, life and death cycle, storms rise and fall.

Some people say that being between heaven and earth, and being able to withdraw from the world is only temporary, and no one can truly do it. Even if one becomes a god, even if one makes further progress and enters that unspeakable and unknowable realm, one is still in this world.

Just like the gods, they are just fighting on a higher level.

From a mortal to a foundation-building cultivator, he has already separated himself from a part of the mortals, just like climbing a mountain, step by step separating himself from the masses.

The days go by.

Four anniversaries of the Red Flame God's death have passed since Zhao Fuyun went up the mountain. He has never come down the mountain, but just watches the changes in the mountains, forests, clouds and moon in front of and behind the temple.

Occasionally, I would receive some things from my neighbors, such as some preserved fruits or wine or tea.

Since Taoist Jinyang left, the Danfeng Temple in front has been occupied by his second disciple Mianshan, who is also at the foundation-building stage. Perhaps he is unable to adapt to the atmosphere after his master's departure for a while, so he would come to Zhao Fuyun to talk whenever he has nothing to do.

Sometimes when he talked about spiritual practice, he would express his doubts to Zhao Fuyun and get explanations, which made him very surprised, so he began to respect Zhao Fuyun even more.

He knew that Zhao Fuyun came to condense the true fire of the sun to open a palace. As long as he succeeded in doing so, he would be a Purple Palace cultivator, just like his master.

Moreover, he always felt that Zhao Fuyun had a special temperament, like an extremely restrained flame that could erupt at any time.

The large yang-gathering bottle is already filled with the true fire of the sun.

The most troublesome thing is that the bottles have to be replaced every once in a while. Not only will the small bottles break due to being baked by the sun's true fire, but the large bottles cannot hold the contents for too long.

This surprised Zhao Fuyun a little, but the spirit stones he got after touching the corpse were pretty good and should be enough.

The Sun's True Fire in the bottle became more and more precipitated. With each change of bottle, the red color that slowly floated on the surface was peeled off, so only gold was left in the bottle.

Zhao Fuyun was very clear that the quantity was decreasing and he needed to constantly replenish it, so the process seemed a bit long.

Time flies.

It's midsummer again.

The true fire of the sun spread across the void. Zhao Fuyun sat outside the altar. There was a lamp on the altar. The golden crow bird on the flame of the lamp was particularly excited.

Ever since he gathered the true fire of the sun that could be used to open his mansion, Zhao Fuyun has been refining the Red Flame Divine Lamp. The Golden Crow Divine Bird in it has become more and more solid, and looks more and more magical, with the red color on the flame of the lamp becoming less and less.

His intuition told him that if the red flame on the Red Flame Divine Lamp faded away and turned into golden flame, he would be able to make further progress.

The true fire of the sun is the best food for the Golden Crow bird on the magic lamp.

However, to open a mansion, one not only needs real fire, but also needs to form a talisman.

The Purple Palace was opened with the true fire of the sun, so of course the talisman formed was related to the 'sun'. Although the meaning of the talisman formed when building the foundation was already very good, he still hoped to be able to form a good talisman when opening the palace.

He was both refining the Sun God Lamp and feeling the magic rhythm of the Sun's true fire.

The tyranny of the Sun's True Fire is well known to the world. Under the Sun's True Fire, it is not just a simple burning. Under that tyranny, everything will turn to ashes, or even nothing will be left.

Vaguely, he seemed to have grasped a little feeling.

Sitting there motionless, sometimes the Dharma rhythm that he perceived through his spiritual sense was like a shooting star across the sky. He saw it but it was gone in a flash. So he needed to grasp that mysterious feeling and chase it.

But this time, he failed.

After that, he went to gain insights every day at noon when he was refining the Red Flame Divine Lamp, but he didn't have this feeling. However, he didn't gain nothing. He also gained some other Dharma ideas from it. The feeling was very wonderful, as if it was at hand, in front of his eyes, but it still hadn't been put down on paper.

It’s like you picked up something, hid it in your arms or in your pocket, but you are afraid that you will lose it one day. You can only wait until it is notarized, or someone who can protect everything says that the thing is yours, then it is yours.

He knew that the proof was the talisman. If a talisman was formed in his body, the things he obtained from the heaven and earth would exist in his body forever and be entangled with his own Dharma thoughts until his death, when they would disintegrate.

Day after day, year after year, another Red Flame God's Day of Sacrifice.

This year is Zhao Fuyun's eighth year in this mountain. He decided that if he still couldn't get that feeling he had three years ago, he would not wait any longer and would start opening the Purple Mansion next year.

At this moment, he already felt that his body had been refined into one by the flames, and his internal organs were transparent. It was time for everything to be accomplished.

He sat there, probably because he was relaxed this time and had already made a decision, so he didn't pursue it deliberately like he did the previous two times.

So, this time, he had that feeling.

In the brilliant golden flames, he seemed to see a black area. No, that was not black, that was ruins.

An indescribable feeling surged in his heart. After the true fire burned, all things returned to ruins.

This was what he thought in his mind, but it was useless to have thoughts in his mind. The laws of heaven and earth had to be implemented for it to work.

This is just like an official who has the idea of governing an area, but he still needs approval from the policies above before he can implement it.

He has been working hard on the character "Xu" for the past two years, but has not gained any true meaning from the world, so he has made no progress.

At this moment, when he caught the meaning of the Dharma, his whole body trembled, and at the same time, a huge fear spread in his heart. He felt that he was going to return to the "ruins", and his whole body seemed to be disintegrating and turning into ashes. His heart told him that if he did not do anything, this would be the inevitable outcome.

He could only use the 'Taiyue Zhenshen Method' to calm his mind and the 'Guixu' magic that suddenly fell on him. At the same time, he also knew that this would not work, and the only way was to entangle all of this in a talisman.

So he had no choice but to resolutely start his own government.

He stretched out his hand and took the Yang-Gathering Bottle that contained the Sun's True Fire. He pulled out the stopper, and the Sun's True Fire inside was sucked out and wrapped in his Dharma Thoughts. His Dharma Thoughts were like invisible tentacles, sucking the nutrients in the bottle.

The true fire of the sun rushed into his body, and the huge heat and the huge true fire magic rushed down. Zhao Fuyun had to not only protect himself.

However, he has been practicing here for so many years that his body has adapted to the weather and will not be burned by the true fire of the sun.

Moreover, this bottle of true sun fire is only the initiation for making the talisman.

To open Zifu is to open the five internal organs. It is not only to refine the essence of the five internal organs, but also to make the five internal organs one. Among the five internal organs, there is a Tanzhong point. It is also said that Qi gathers in Tanzhong.

The Dantian Qi Sea is the lower Qi Sea, and the Tanzhong Qi Sea is the upper Qi Sea.

Danzhong is located between the five internal organs, and at this moment the Sun's True Fire is guided to rush into it. At the same time, it quickly entangles with the "Guixu" magic power that he is suppressing. He wants to bind this huge and unrestrained terror.

The talisman-making process begins.

The energy in his body and his thoughts formed an invisible rope, which was quickly entangled and tied again and again. This was the basic skill of practicing Dharma thoughts, and at this time he was using it to bind the Dharma meaning of the word "Xu".

He didn't think much about other things. He just wanted to prevent this magic from getting out of control in his body.

This repeated itself day after day, with the sun rising and setting, then setting and rising again.

He didn't know how long it had been, but finally the meaning of the word "Xu" seemed to have been entangled too tightly and slowly calmed down. It was also as if Zhao Fuyun was comfortable with him. When he relaxed, he no longer had that terrifying feeling, and then he found that he had completed the establishment of the government.

A new talisman has formed in Dan Zhong.

The shape of this talisman looks like a sun, or a ball of red thread.

However, Zhao Fuyun could clearly feel the meaning of the Dharma.

At the same time, his magic power has obviously increased a lot. Originally there was only one source of magic power in his body, but now there are two.

The two sources of magic power are interconnected, and this feeling is very wonderful.

He looked up and could see the sky from the altar, which was full of stars.

He opened his mouth and sucked, and the Red Flame Divine Lamp placed not far away turned into a line of fire and was sucked into his mouth. This time it fell directly into his Dantian, and the flame of the lamp merged into one with the fireball-like talisman.
