Chapter 119: Hibernation and fake death to become immortal! Your mother is a human

Wuwei Gate, Thirteen Zodiac Signs.

Snake, Baiyujing.

“The thirteen zodiac signs…”

Zhang Fan’s face suddenly changed. He had not expected that one of the Thirteen Zodiac Signs was hiding in Xuanmiao Temple. He was truly a hidden master in the city. The most incredible thing was that the other party actually revealed his identity in front of him so openly.

“For a cultivator, a breath is like a long-burning lamp. If the heart moves and the wind rises, the flame will be hard to keep.”

At this moment, Yun Jianyue or Bai Yujing spoke.

“Zhang Fan, your breathing is disordered.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Fan glanced at the door behind him and turned around to retreat.

boom……

However, just as he had the thought, the shabby wooden door slammed shut with a loud noise.

In the dark room, only the oil lamp in Yun Jianyue’s hand was crackling and emitting a dim light.

“The reason why people’s thoughts are restless and their emotions fluctuate is because they do not realize the impermanence of this world…”

“All things are impermanent, and anything can happen. Knowing this, why should we be restless?”

Yun Jianyue raised the corner of her mouth slightly and looked at Zhang Fan with interest.

“Didn’t your father teach you that!?”

Rumble…

Suddenly, Zhang Fan took a step forward, formed the [Tian Ding Seal] with his hands, concentrated his mind and breath, knocked his teeth nine times, muttered something, and his eyes suddenly lit up with brilliance.

“The canopy canopy, the nine-yuan evil boy.”

“Wuding Dusi, Gao Diao Beiweng.”

“Seven expeditions and eight spirits, the most powerful and fierce.”

……

Reciting the real name in one sentence, the spell started to frighten ghosts and gods in all directions. When this method was activated, a fierce wind swept around Zhang Fan’s body, and it seemed as if two fangs were shaking in the midst of the awe-inspiring changes. He bullied the Tai Sui with his ferocious power and suppressed the evil spirits with his mysterious magic.

“Northern Emperor’s Law, Heavenly Canopy Curse!?”

Yun Jianyue raised the corner of her mouth slightly. She stood still, shaking the lamp in her hand gently. A wisp of green smoke curled around, like a chain, tightly wrapping around the fang-like shadow that was blown by the violent wind. The power became stronger and stronger, and in an instant, it shattered into pieces.

“Hasn’t anyone told you that the higher the virtue, the higher the evil?”

hum…

The powerful aftermath shook the ground, causing cracks to appear. The broken wood chips passed across Zhang Fan’s cheek like a blade, and scarlet blood dripped onto the ground.

“The Xiantian Dao Mother, Emperor Zhou Tianchen.”

“Lord of the Stars, the Honored King of Doufu.”

“The Brahma Qi in the sky, the Nine Emperors and the Supreme Emperor”

……

Zhang Fan’s body hasn’t yet stabilized, his hands are in the [Finger Fighting Seal], and he is muttering something.

“Heavenly Mother’s Heart Mantra!?”

In an instant, a point of starlight fell to the mortal world, condensing into one body and exchanging for that body. Zhang Fan’s clothes suddenly fluttered, shining with light, as if a big star was shining on him. He looked extraordinary, and his every move was powerful. He took a step forward and was already in front of Yun Jianyue. He punched Yun Jianyue’s head with great force, carrying brilliant starlight.

“There is no sunlight here, so how can there be bright stars?”

Yun Jianyue sighed, and the light in his hand suddenly went out. All of a sudden, even the starlight around Zhang Fan disappeared as if entering the darkness.

boom……

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud bang, and a black shadow flew out, accompanied by the sound of blood splattering.

The next moment, the dim candlelight reignited, illuminating the dark room.

Zhang Fan staggered to his feet. There was a shocking wound on his chest. Blood was constantly oozing out of the torn flesh, and cracks were appearing on the wall.

“Zhang Fan, compared to ten years ago, your cultivation has not improved, but your temper has become much worse.” Yun Jianyue chuckled.

“Ten years ago…we met? You were also at the foot of Longhu Mountain that night?” Zhang Fan raised his eyebrows and said coldly.

“Oh? It seems you remember a lot of things.”

Yun Jianyue held a candle in his hand, his eyes lit up, and he said meaningfully, “It seems like you are about to escape.”

“If you escape the calamity, I’m afraid it will be very dangerous.”

In the light of the candle, a cold gleam flashed in Yun Jianyue’s beautiful eyes.

Zhang Fan’s face darkened slightly, and he immediately became alert, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

This was not the first time he had fought against the Thirteen Zodiac Signs. Each of these lunatics was unique, and their methods were unfathomable. Even though his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, he still felt powerless facing them.

“Being imprisoned, do you think there is still a glimmer of hope?”

Yun Jianyue smiled, but her slightly playful gaze fell on the hideous wound on Zhang Fan’s chest, watching the scarlet blood dripping continuously.

hum…

Suddenly, as soon as the dripping blood touched the ground, a puff of green smoke rose, and a faint flame ignited on the tattered floor, as if the blood contained an extremely terrifying temperature.

“Um!?”

At this moment, the smile on Yun Jianyue’s face faded slightly, and a solemn look emerged in his eyes.

Rumble…

At this moment, Zhang Fan’s eyes gradually turned red, as if flames were rising. If he observed with his soul, his body was like a furnace, and the true yang in his limbs and bones was surging like a raging flame. Although there was no trace of fire, the floor beneath his feet was already burning.

“A three-foot-long sword is formed in the belly, swallowing and exhaling the essence of fire.”

The smile on Yun Jianyue’s face finally disappeared completely, replaced by a solemn look.

“Pure Yang True Meaning, Fire Dragon Pill Sword!”

Rumble…

As Zhang Fan took a step forward, the air around him seemed to become flammable and explosive, directly blowing the roof apart. Raging flames shot up into the sky, almost overturning half of the room.

Such a terrifying movement finally made Yun Jianyue take two steps back. The blazing flames seemed to ignite the surrounding air. In the twisted smoke and dust, Zhang Fan’s figure came running towards him, with a gleam in his eyes, so terrifying that he didn’t seem like a human.

“You are indeed an anomaly. You entered the calamity and cultivated again, and actually obtained the Pure Yang True Meaning and refined the Fire Dragon Pill Sword!?”

Yun Jianyue could see that Zhang Fan had only grasped the idea of ​​this method and it had not yet been fully formed. However, just the initial hint of its potential was already extraordinary. If he could truly master it, he would surely be one-third as powerful as he was back then.

Rumble…

Fire gushed out of Zhang Fan’s mouth, and the air around him was distorted. The huge room was instantly engulfed by the burning fire, and began to spread to the entire building.

The small wooden building was set on fire in the blink of an eye.

“It’s really good.”

Yun Jianyue held the candle and sighed softly.

The sigh was deep and lonely, falling quietly and echoing in the dark and empty room.

The room is still the same room…

There was no burning fire, no mess, no blood, and even Zhang Fan was still standing there, intact.

He caught a glimpse of the wooden door behind him just closing, and the deafening sound was still echoing in his ears.

Zhang Fan was a little dazed and looked up subconsciously, only to see that the candle in Yun Jianyue’s hand was bright and distinct, and it was mysterious.

“Just now…” Zhang Fan frowned, and felt his mind went blank. The feeling of emptiness and powerlessness was like waking up from a dream. Many thoughts popped into his mind, but he couldn’t grasp or touch them.

“There are clearly six realms in the dream, but after waking up, there is nothing…”

Yun Jianyue placed the lamp in her hand on the table and murmured softly.

“Was that your Taoism just now? It was as false as a dream?” Zhang Fan said in a daze.

Each of the thirteen zodiac signs has a unique method.

Rooster is good at star fighting, Horse is good at the way of all things, Pig is good at eating and filling the gaps…

Baiyujing, the Snake, naturally has his own way of becoming an immortal.

“Life is just a dream. In the dream, we can use the false to cultivate the true.” Yun Jianyue gently raised her slender fingers, shaking the candlelight.

“Zhang Fan, you think that was a dream just now, so how do you know that this is not a dream?” Yun Jianyue chuckled. “Or rather, you have been in a dream since that night ten years ago and have not woken up yet.”

“Are you trying to disrupt my spiritual practice?” Zhang Fan frowned, his mind on high alert.

“Do you know what is sealed in the magic jar sent by the Jiangnan Provincial Dao League?”

At this moment, Yun Jianyue suddenly changed the subject and asked.

“How should I know?” Zhang Fan looked strange, not knowing why the other party asked this question.

“Let me tell you a story.”

Yun Jianyue slowly withdrew her gaze from Zhang Fan and looked at the flickering candlelight beside her.

“What exactly do you want to do?” Zhang Fan asked with great vigilance.

“I once became a vegetable due to an accident and stayed in the hospital until I was 20 years old…”

Yun Jianyue ignored Zhang Fan’s reaction and continued talking to herself.

An accident once caused her to lie in bed for three whole years, and she only woke up when she was twenty years old.

At that time, the young Yun Jianyue just discovered that she was in a private hospital located deep in the mountains, and all the patients were vegetative patients like him.

Among these patients, she was relatively young and also the luckiest. She woke up in just three years.

“At that time, I had no relatives around me, only medical staff to take care of me… They said that my family had gone abroad and would come to pick me up soon.” A hint of reminiscence appeared in Yun Jianyue’s eyes.

The medical conditions in that hospital are very good, from which we can also see that her family is well off.

“After I woke up, I just did some rehabilitation training in the hospital…” Yun Jianyue continued.

At that time, most of the people in the hospital were in a vegetative state like her, and only a few who were awake did rehabilitation training with her every day.

“Among them… there is an old man who is the strangest. He has only one eye, and the blind eye has a deep scar. He talks to the sun every day. When it gets dark, he becomes weird and even bangs his head against the wall…”

“He always said… once you fall asleep, you can’t wake up… everyone falls asleep…”

“The doctor just said it was a sequelae of sleeping for too long. After that, I never saw the old man again. The nurse said that his family took him away until one day…”

Having said that, Yun Jianyue paused slightly and subconsciously glanced at Zhang Fan.

That night, Yun Jianyue fell asleep early. In the second half of the night, she heard a rustling sound. In a daze, she vaguely saw that her door was open. She got up to look and saw a black shadow crawling beside the bed.

At that time, she rubbed her eyes, and then she saw in the moonlight that it was a big snake, with oily scales all over its body…

The big snake had only one eye, a blind eye with a deep scar. It stood up and stuck out its tongue towards Yun Jianyue, as if it wanted to tell something under the dim moonlight.

“I fainted from fright. When I woke up, I told the nurse about what happened last night. The nurse just smiled and said it was just a dream…”

Having said this, Yun Jianyue’s lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.

“I began to believe it, until one night, I heard the rustling sound again…”

“I plucked up my courage and walked out of the room. I saw another big snake in the quiet corridor, but it was not the same one I saw that night…”

“It also saw me and turned and left…” Yun Jianyue’s tone became extremely cold.

At that time, she followed the snake as if possessed, all the way to the corner of the hospital, and took an old elevator to the basement…

There, she saw a scene she would never forget.

The surrounding glass containers were filled with unknown liquids, and contained various specimens, including the skull of a baby, some of which glowed with a golden luster, like an elixir that had been refined…

Nine holes were dug out of the unformed embryo, just like the nine orifices of the human body…

The beating heart is attached to a snake skeleton…

……

There were patients lying on the beds everywhere, some of whom Yun Jianyue recognized. Their heads were connected to various tubes inserted into their scalps…

“What is that?” Zhang Fan finally couldn’t help but ask.

“In Taoist practice, there is a special method of becoming an immortal, called the sleeping method.” Yun Jianyue said lightly.

When people fall asleep, their minds become quiet and their consciousness gradually dies down, which is the closest to their innate natural state. Apart from these, the only people who can most closely reach this state are the living dead.

Therefore, in ancient times, there were great men in Taoism who thought that if they could practice in their sleep, they might be able to comprehend the Pure Yang and Infinite Way and understand the secret of immortality.

“Ancestor Xiyi!” Zhang Fan seemed to be thinking about something.

Chen Tuan, also known as Chen Xiyi, was a great master of alchemy in the Song Dynasty. It was said that he achieved the Pure Yang Wuji Dao in his sleep, stepped into the ranks of earthly immortals, and ascended to heaven in broad daylight.

“Sleeping immortal, sleeping immortal, lying high at the root of a stone, forgetting how old he is, the three lights sinking into the sky, and his nature becoming complete.” Yun Jianyue murmured softly.

“In nature, the closest thing to this state is snakes… They hide underground in the winter, with a mouthful of mud in their mouths, hibernating and pretending to be dead. When the spring thunder sounds, they burst into life, as if they have been resurrected from the dead, and even appear to ascend to heaven and transform into dragons.”

In Taoism, snakes are also called hibernating dragons because they have the ability to both hibernate and feign death, and also have the ability to revive like dragons and snakes.

“That hospital is both a purgatory on earth and a home for cultivators. It is both a Taoist cave and a devil’s lair in the mortal world…” Yun Jianyue sneered.

“Those patients are nothing but materials for alchemy. During sleep, the brain can secrete special substances. Combined with the method of hibernating dragon, perhaps the method of immortality can be refined…” Yun Jianyue said lightly.

“What a pity, immortality…from ancient times to the present, who can truly be immortal?”

“Most of those materials turned into monsters…”

Having said this, Yun Jianyue turned around, looked at Zhang Fan with a strange look, and couldn’t help but chuckle.

“I am just a material for alchemy. Sooner or later, I will become a monster… So…”

“So what?” Zhang Fan asked in a deep voice.

“That night… I locked all the exits of the hospital and burned it all down with a huge fire…” Yun Jianyue smiled, a smile that showed she was happy to take revenge.

“Did you burn them all to death in there?” Zhang Fan couldn’t help but ask.

“If you survive, you will become a monster…” Yun Jianyue said lightly.

“What about you?” Zhang Fan asked back.

“Me too…so I was also in that fire…” Yun Jianyue grinned, as if he was talking about someone else.

“You didn’t leave?” Zhang Fan was surprised and looked up and down at Yun Jianyue.

“I still remember the feeling of that fire, my skin and flesh were burning, and finally even my bones melted…” The smile on Yun Jianyue’s face became more and more sinister.

“At the moment when I turned into ashes, I woke up…”

Zhang Fan was stunned when he finished speaking, and then he asked with a strange look: “Did you have a dream?”

“Who knows? Maybe life is just a dream.” Yun Jianyue spread his hands and shook his head.

“When I woke up, I was in a Taoist temple, lying in a pit, with only dim candlelight around me…” Yun Jianyue’s eyes became a little dazed.

“You are the only one who woke up among so many people.”

A gentle voice echoed faintly in the temple, and then a young girl came over holding an oil lamp.

“You’re pretty good, you can stay with me.” The girl said in a condescending manner.

“Who are you?” Yun Jianyue asked at that time.

“Human figure.”

“You are a human!?”

Such an answer made Yun Jianyue, who had just woken up, look strange. In her mind, this name seemed supreme and could not be desecrated.

“Not now, but it will be in the future.” The girl put down the lamp and said lightly.

“Then who are you now?”

“My name is……”

“Li Linglong!”

The girl’s words echoed in Yun Jianyue’s mind, as if time had dispersed, yet could not be erased, and were spoken from her mouth at this moment.

“plum……”

Zhang Fan’s eyes widened, his face trembled slightly, and he revealed an incredible look.

“You heard it right… The girl standing in front of me at that time was Li Linglong…”

“The first of the thirteen zodiac signs in the future!”

“She is the human figure!”
