What kind of Journey to the West is this?

Hongniang then brought a crystal plate with four ice bowls perched on it, emitting a faint stream of cool air. The bowls were filled with a variety of fruits: black mulberries, purple grapes, red lychees, green melons, and white tender lotus roots. The large ones were sliced and cut into pieces, while the small ones were left whole. Each was topped with yogurt and decorated with blooming pink lotus flowers. The bowls looked beautiful.

Even Xue Shi'er couldn't help but take a few more glances and exclaimed in amazement, "What a beautiful fruit plate."

The cat fairies and cow monsters living in the mountains rarely saw this delicate ice bowl and were drooling with greed.

"As you like," Hongniang smiled and brought the ice bowl over. "Master, thank you for your care. I'm truly grateful. I've also prepared six hot springs in the Crystal Palace. You can go and wash away your tiredness after you've had enough."

The preparation was indeed thoughtful. An Yanxia picked up a grape and stuffed it into Xue Shier's mouth with a smile.

Xue Shi'er swallowed it, and then he heard An Yanxia ask, "How do my grapes taste?"

"It's like falling into an ice cave and being tangled in honey. Sweet and delicious."

"That's good. Come on, open your mouth..."

For a moment, all the guests were happy.

At this time, Shushui Jun also braised a three-jin Yellow River carp in sauce, fried a soft-shelled turtle in a pan with garlic, bamboo shoots, onions, peppers, and autumn oil, made a crab soup with autumn crabs, and stewed fresh whitebait in chicken soup and ham.

There are also honey wine steamed saury, shad, oil-boiled sturgeon, fried yellow croaker on both sides, and grouper in chicken soup.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, An Yanxia felt like she had arrived in heaven, which was truly relaxing.

The good way is:

After finishing the fish soup and rice, we get up and order tea, and then rare fruits and vegetables are added one after another.

The most unsavage people are content with their lives and are unaware of the prosperity of the city.

After dinner, the group was enjoying a leisurely cup of tea when Sushui Jun suddenly spoke up, "Master, during the day, you spoke to the Puzhou City God about the Kuilong clan. We remember that this person appeared in Zhongnan Mountain. Do you have any grudges against him?"

"It can be said that there is a deep hatred."

An Yanxia said, "Mu Cha, the monk from Hui'an, who is under the tutelage of Guanyin of the South Sea, is an acquaintance of mine. He once warned me that the Kuilong clan was a calamity in my life, and I must be vigilant."

"Since that's the case, I can't hide it from my savior," said the Lord of the Waters. "I control the Waters, and I need to report to the Lord of the Great River and the Governor of the Eight Rivers year-round. On the way, I pass through Mount Zhongnan. I've heard that a Taoist who calls himself the Kuilong clan has been in contact with General He of Mount Zhongnan."

"Who is this General He?"

"I don't know either. He broke through the Yinshan forbidden area two years ago and emerged from the Netherworld. He later occupied an unnamed peak on Mount Zhongnan and never left.

"The Exorcism Institute had sent mages to capture him, but they were always stopped by General He. He neither killed nor left Nameless Peak. So the Exorcism Institute placed a legal ban on Nameless Peak, temporarily shelving his case and only sending a mage to patrol regularly.

"I heard that the fourth of the Six Saints of Zhongnan, the Great Saint Yantie, and the second of the Great Saint Huikong, both came from the Nameless Peak. If you have the means, you can capture these two demonic bandits and interrogate them."

After many twists and turns, I ended up back with the Six Saints of Zhongnan.

An Yanxia couldn't tell whether this was fate or misfortune.

She nodded to thank Shushuijun, and seeing that Xueshier had digested the food and it was getting dark, he wanted to take her to a hot spring to wash off the dust and have a good sleep.

More is hard to say, less is boring, so let's put this matter aside for now. He then said that in Puzhou City, the Five Tigers incident had been resolved, and the King of Qin was safe. Luo Sushang then bid farewell to Li Chunfeng and left with Mr. Heming and Qingshui Jianxian.

Chen Qingshui was going back to Zhongtiao Mountain, so Luo Sushang went to Nantian Fudi first, but when he came to Xianju, he saw: Where is An Yanxia?

She was a little confused for a moment.

A day later, An Yanxia and Xue Shier had a good sleep, and they found Luo Sushang the next day.

Luo Sushang said, "Junior sister, and little lion. You just arrived in the capital and need a place to stay. People say that living in Chang'an is not easy. I have a house in Chang'an. You can stay there first."

Journey to the West by the Supreme Immortal: Chapter 300 [Single-mindedly Subdue the Six Thieves, Purity Requires Killing Them All]

"That's great! We should also ask Senior Sister to host a feast for us."

"Natural nature."

"But I have something else to do these days. I have to go to Zhongtiao Mountain to visit someone."

An Yanxia had promised Chen Qingliang, the Sword Master of Zhongtiao Mountain, yesterday that she would continue to discuss the sutras and the Dao with her, and she felt embarrassed to cancel it. When Luo Sushang heard that she was going to Zhongtiao Mountain, and her good friend Qingshui Jianxian was also a Kundao of Zhongtiao Mountain, she decided to go with An Yanxia.

She grasped An Yanxia's wrist with one hand, and the Snow Lion transformed slightly, becoming a kitten that lay on Luo Sushang's shoulder. Immediately, the Xuanhe Sword Immortal pinched his sword finger and transformed into a sun-piercing white rainbow, a trailing meteor, and flew towards Zhongtiao Mountain.

When we reached a dangerous peak on Zhongtiao Mountain, we saw a large bluestone shaped like a turtle standing at the foot of the peak, with its head held high as if it was carrying the mountain.

Luo Sushang introduced An Yanxia and Xue Shier:

"This is Shenyuan Peak. Chen Qingshui, Mr. Heming, and I escorted the king here. As we were about to cross the canyon, a land dragon flipped over, and the cliff collapsed, sending a huge rock crashing down. The turtle, the guardian beast of Zhongtiao Mountain, rushed to carry the boulder down. The King of Qin then ordered a statue to be erected here, offering incense. He is now the god of Zhongtiao Mountain."

Yan Xia was amazed when she heard this. This was truly a lucky opportunity.

But then she thought again, the king would have to cross countless mountains and valleys and rivers along the way, and the number of monks, Taoists, and monsters who would have had opportunities along the way would probably be countless.

And that's just the King of Qin. During the late Sui Dynasty, when warlords fought for power, countless mountain gods and water deities arose, and it's hard to count how many were good and how many were evil. But judging by the two water deities of Cangzhou, there are probably even more with ulterior motives.

The saying that there are many evil spirits in troubled times is probably true.

Without mentioning these gossips, the three of them went to Magu Peak and informed the female fairy guarding the mountain, and they were all invited to a "small cave".

It turned out that the weather was very hot, and the female fairies on the mountain went to the "Little Cave Heaven" to escape the heat.

When An Yanxia arrived, she discovered that the rock walls and the ceiling were covered in stalactites: white as jade, red as candles, and shining with strange colors, making the cave full of psychedelic neon lights. Many female Taoist priests without crowns were chatting and playing in groups of three or five.

She almost thought she had entered a bar...

——It’s so magical.

Xue Shi'er was used to practicing in seclusion, and had never seen such a strange sight before. She almost thought she had strayed into a demon's cave, and said in bewilderment, "Is this really a paradise?"

Chen Qingshui came over to greet the three of them, saying with a smile, "This isn't the real cave heaven, but a 'small cave heaven'. It's just a good place to cool off and discuss the Dao. It's a bit noisy here, so please go to the cave in the back."

Several people walked to a cave again, and the sword master Chen Qingliang was moving a large cave. There were fruits and vegetables soaked in cold and clear underground spring water, as well as iced sour plum soup, mung bean soup, perilla water and other summer drinks.

Seeing them arrive, Chen Qingliang smiled and said, "I've heard about the great deeds Master An did by the Sushui River, exposing the conspiracy of the Xiaoliang ghost."

"Everyone, please take a seat. If you want something to eat or drink, feel free to take it."

Everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while, first chatting about ordinary trivial matters, and then turned to the topic of closing the door to cultivation.

An Yanxia said, "That's exactly what I'm wondering. In inner alchemy, practicing Qigong requires rotating the river cart, allowing the innate Qi to complete the small and large circulations within the body. The so-called small circulation naturally descends from the dantian to the Yongquan point at the bottom of the foot, then flies from the Yongquan point up the three passes behind the spine, and finally reaches the Niwan Palace."

"Here, we must replenish our brain with essence and our spirit with qi. Only then can we manipulate our innate qi and return it to our dantian to complete the Great Circulation. However, during this step of replenishing our brain with essence, our innate qi often becomes uncontrollable. What should we do?"

Chen Qingshui laughed and said, "Master, you are wrong. To replenish the brain, we need to allow the innate Qi to nourish the Niwan. However, the innate Qi is formed by the refining of the five elements, commonly known as the golden crystal, and is the innate Yang energy of the human body."

"Your Niwan Palace is where souls and spirits are stored. Souls and spirits are yin entities, and the two are incompatible. How can you just randomly guide them to the Niwan Palace? Therefore, you need to use another method. I have a method called Building the Magpie Bridge."

After that, Chen Qingshui told An Yanxia the recipe for building the Magpie Bridge, but added, "Because it involves Buddhist meditation, this method requires long-term practice."

An Yanxia said, "That's easy. I have the Heavenly Book of Zuowang as the foundation of my practice. My Zuowang theory takes an open mind as the door, cessation and contemplation as the way, and Zuowang as the hall. Just call me, and I'll figure out the rest."

Chen Qingshui and Chen Qingliang couldn't help laughing when they saw An Yanxia's scheming.

Even ordinary monks would need three to five years of practice to grasp the essence of the art of meditation and contemplation. Xuanmen practices of foundation building and refining essence are all about understanding destiny and refining the body, and rarely involve meditation, quiet sitting, or other methods of seeing the nature.

It will take at least three to five months to learn this, right?

Xue Shi'er said, "Since the Taoist priest has said so, why not let her give it a try?"

Luo Sushang also smiled and said, "True gold fears no fire. Since you are so confident, there is no harm in giving it a try."

Er Chen had no choice but to agree.

Luo Sushang also came to help her and asked her to take off her clothes.

An Yanxia saw that there were people all around her and was unwilling to take off her robe. She hesitated and was about to untie it.

Luo Sushang tapped her and said, "You don't have to take off everything, just take off your outer clothes."

"Oh......"

An Yanxia listened to Luo Suchang's request, lifted up her inner clothes, revealing her lower abdomen, and meditated, swallowing saliva and breathing in, then she observed the saliva falling into her dantian. In the dark, she saw a red sun rising over the eastern sea and sky, over the Fusang tree.

Luo Sushang touched her belly and reminded her, "Don't let your mind wander. Just focus on your mind."

Xue Shier also came over curiously to look left and right, trying to see something magical, but the "Yin and Yang Interaction Internal and External Form Refining Method" she practiced borrowed from the realm of alchemy, but the practice was a hybrid version of the Buddhist Yuanshen Dao and the earthly immortals' Tuan Gang Refining Demon: it required internal cultivation of the sun's true nature and external cultivation of the moon's true destiny, first cultivating the yang spirit, then refining the moon's form, and finally achieving both form and spirit, achieving enlightenment and ascending to heaven, which was very different from the Three Mountains Alchemy.

But she couldn't see why.

In the darkness, An Yanxia felt the innate qi falling into the Yongquan point, flying over the three gates of the tailbone, the Jiaji and the Yuzhen point, passing through the Baihui point and the Tianxin point, and was about to reach the Niwan Palace.

There was the sound of Chen Qingshui's singing in her ears, the sound was sometimes long, sometimes short, sometimes high, sometimes low, sometimes fast, sometimes slow. She finished listening to the singing, but it didn't even take a moment.

Luo Suchang's voice was again instructing, "Hold your breath and concentrate your mind. Practice the way of sitting and forgetting. First enter into cessation and contemplation, then into sitting and forgetting. Forget your form and yourself. Crack your teeth 32 times, build a magpie bridge in your mouth, and let the sweet saliva fall."

An Yanxia entered into a state of meditation through the method of Zen, but there were turbulent waves in her kidney palace, and many demon kings crawled out from it. These demon kings were blind, deaf, tongue-cut, nose-cut, and headless. They each held five treasures: a slingshot, a drumstick, a golden sword, an incense burner, and a pagoda.

The five demon kings climbed out of the vast white lake and arrived at the pure land in the center of the kidney palace.

There is a hibiscus tree on this pure land. On the top of the mulberry tree stands a little man who looks exactly like An Yanxia, with a white jade lion lying beside him.

Journey to the West by the Supreme Immortal: Chapter 301 [Meeting a Winged Tiger on the Road]

The lion roared, causing the five demons to stagger.

The little man recited the Heavenly Heart Sutra, and three magic swords appeared in his palms. He quickly killed the headless demon king, the deaf demon king, and the cut-nose demon king.

The blind demon king could not see his brothers being killed at all, and joyfully hugged the Fusang tree in the Pure Land and was about to uproot the weeping willow tree.

Suddenly, a demon-subduing pestle came and the Bull-Headed King pressed the blind demon king to the ground.

The villain shouted again: "Yankanxi! You stole the true nature, do you know your sin?"

The devil cried out in pain, "I know my sin, I know my sin!"

A gavel appeared in the villain's hand, and he banged it loudly, shouting, "According to Article 264 of the Criminal Law, you are sentenced to three years in prison!"

The Bull-Headed King grabbed the demon king's ankle and threw him into the lake.

Seeing this, the Demon King with the Broken Tongue was about to run away, but the White Jade Lion descended to the mortal world again and grabbed him with one claw.

The villain added, "I don't know your hero! I'll also sentence you to three years in prison, to be executed immediately!"

The white jade lion threw it into the lake as well.

After dealing with these five demon kings, the villain was puzzled: "Hey, I have eliminated the demon heart and only have the heaven heart left, why is there still no reaction?"

She said to the lion, "Hurry up and ask for the Buddha Cang Yue."

It was said that it was too late, but it happened so quickly. I didn't know when a silly little girl in a monk's robe came over, with a meat bun stuffed in her mouth, and she murmured, "All appearances are false."

The villain suddenly realized, "Oh! So I'm the one in the way."

The magic sword flew out of her hand and pierced straight into her chest, then turned into a ball of light and disappeared. All the strange scenes in the kidney palace, such as the Pure Land, the Turbid Sea, and the Fusang Demon King, all vanished.

An Yanxia closed her eyes and could only see a pitch-black mass, nothing in sight.

During this period of time, she was completely unconscious, as if she was dreaming. She vaguely remembered that she seemed to be floating in a void. When she came to her senses, she felt refreshed. The innate Qi had completed the process of replenishing the brain and entered the Ren meridian.

When she opened her eyes, two rays of divine light suddenly shot out from them, like lightning and thunder, breaking through the clouds and heading straight for Douniu!

Marshal Yin, the Tai Sui of the Year, was drinking tea in heaven when he suddenly saw two beams of divine light break through the three heavenly realms and head straight for Beidou. He exclaimed in shock, "Where did these daring lunatics come from? How dare they trespass into the Heavenly Palace without a decree?"

At this moment, Wu De Xingjun was about to go to Beidou Palace to do some business. He walked into the palace with two adjutants and was about to meet the palace official. Before he could speak,

——Suddenly, two golden lights rushed out from behind him, knocking him to the ground like fallen leaves swept by autumn wind.

Seeing the palace official hurriedly helping him up, he said in surprise, "No! No! Why is the Star Lord performing such a grand ceremony?"

Without mentioning the various disturbances in heaven, I will only offer a poem of praise:

The jade maiden held a bell to report the mystery, and the fairy man read the Huangbian to the emperor.

When his eyes opened, golden light appeared and flew into the sky.

An Yanxia suddenly remembered that the human body is yin and the eyes are yang. She replenished her essence to nourish her brain, and her yang energy overflowed, so it all shot out from her eyes.

Luo Sushang said: "The so-called golden light in the eyes is exactly like this."

An Yanxia had broken through the barrier of cultivation and had successfully cultivated her Qi. She had already completed the third step of stealing the secrets of heaven, and only needed to calm her mind to complete her Qi cultivation. In a moment of joy, she danced with her sword in the cave.

Just now, when An Yanxia was building the Magpie Bridge to replenish her essence and brain, she used the Three Swords of Innocent Wisdom. Ordinary practitioners could not feel it, but Luo Sushang, Chen Qingshui, and Chen Qingliang were all sword immortals, so they could see that An Yanxia suddenly had a sharp and intimidating sword intent.

Chen Qingliang started a conversation and asked for advice on how to use the magic sword.

Chen Qingshui was curious about the lion's roars, and felt that they were extremely powerful and invigorating, so he asked Xue Shier about the power of the lion's roar.

Luo Sushang was also generous in sharing his insights into swordsmanship with everyone, which involved many of the wonders of the "Tiandun Swordsmanship". Chen Qingliang took its strengths and made up for its weaknesses, and combined the sword techniques he learned from An Yanxia into one, and figured out a "Zhongtiao Tiandun".
