Chapter 330: The Body is in Harmony with All Things, the Way of the Great Trend
Xiang Yuan: (ω`)
He hasn’t figured out how to create a human being, but for some reason, his body has become increasingly thinner recently, as if a female fairy had drained away all his energy.
“The master can only lead you to the door, but cultivation depends on yourself. Mu Qing… No, I said it wrong again. Xiaoqing is really too unreasonable.”
Xiang Yuan put his hands in his pockets and strolled along the street in front of Xu’s house every morning as a routine. He was full of energy every day and insisted on morning exercise and jogging, which attracted the attention of neighbors.
“Look, Xu Bancheng is out again.”
“How tragic! Look at him, he’s out of breath after taking two steps. This is a sign of premature death!”
“They are happy, what’s it to you?”
“That’s right, you laughed at Bancheng for dying early, but you didn’t know that others are living happily!”
“…”
Everyone was talking about it, all with words of envy, jealousy and hatred. Xiang Yuan listened to it and subconsciously straightened his back, feeling quite proud of himself as if he was traveling in fine clothes.
Say more, love to listen!
“Amitabha!”
Not this one, it’s too plain.
There was a small path with white walls and green willows swaying in the wind. He was walking along the riverside. He heard a familiar Buddhist chant. He turned around expressionlessly and saw Fahai holding a staff and wearing a monk’s robe. His eyelids jumped immediately.
Why are you here? Didn’t you agree to postpone it for another month?
This has been dragging on for several months. Look at your face. If I don’t come, you will be drained dry by that witch.
Oh my god, don’t talk nonsense. There is no witch in this mansion, only the Bodhisattva Guanyin!
“…”
The two exchanged glances, and Xiang Yuan choked his own clone with just one sentence.
Fahai is very serious in studying Buddhism. He does not dare to slack off in subduing demons and monsters and making contributions. The more he learns, the more humble he becomes. Therefore, he is the one who is most immersed in the role and has great respect for Guanyin Bodhisattva, the great figure of Buddhism.
After hearing what the original master said, he found it hard to accept for a moment, and was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. He said angrily: “Donor, I have tried to persuade you with kind words, but you have repeatedly refused to listen. I came here today to tell you that you have a predestined relationship with Jinshan Fa Temple, and you can listen to the sutras and chant the Buddha’s name under my seat.”
Please be flexible. It’s the last month and I’m serious this time.
No compromise!
Fahai had tried to compromise many times and had long since reached the limit of his tolerance. He pressed down a huge golden handprint, wrapped Xiang Yuan up, and flew away to Jinshan Temple in the golden light.
Xiang Yuan sighed in his heart, feeling quite reluctant, but he did not resist and followed his own thoughts.
Beauty will only affect the speed of drawing the sword, so just do it at a moderate level and don’t go too far.
……
Jinshan Temple.
Xiang Yuan enjoyed a vegetarian meal in the Zen room, flipping through books while eating. On the left and right sides were the Six-Character Mantra and Tao Te Ching respectively. His realm was improving rapidly, and he felt that he could go into seclusion when he returned to the Qianyuan Realm, and strive to reach the master level of the Tongyou Period.
The practice of the six-word mantra all stems from a calm mind, and the clone Fahai also contributes a part.
The practice status of Tao Te Ching is not very clear, there is too much knowledge and the teachings are too profound. It is said to point directly to the great way, but in fact it covers a lot, and it is a long way from “returning to simplicity and nature”. Starting from the details, I feel that the progress bar of this Tao Te Ching is surprisingly long.
In my lifetime series!
In the next room, Fahai called a group of monks from the temple and pointed at the depressed ‘Xu Xian’ in front of him and said, “This man is Xu Xian, the owner of Yishui City. He is very wealthy and has been smart since childhood. He was a well-known genius since he was young. He married an unvirtuous wife and married two beautiful snake demons. He was obsessed with beauty all day long and fell into his current situation.”
The speech was so powerful that the monks were envious.
With money, free time, and two charming wives, this is what a man should be like! xN
“You must remember to take this as a warning…”
Fahai shook his head repeatedly, lamenting that the monks had no affinity with Buddha. He stopped urging them to speak, took a razor nearby, and shaved Xu Xian’s head himself.
Outside Jinshan Temple, two figures, one in white and one in green, came stepping on the waves, stirring up evil spirits and manifesting in the air two phantoms of snakes and pythons that could overturn the rivers and seas.
Fahai kidnapped people in broad daylight and was seen by several onlookers nearby. The news spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and soon reached Xu’s house.
Mr. Bai Yue and Ji Mucheng were both stunned when they heard this. They had agreed to postpone it for another month, so why did they suddenly change their mind?
Is it that Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing are not attractive anymore, or are you tired of this bowl of rice that is three parts real and seven parts fake?
The two women looked at each other, and saw reluctance in each other’s eyes. They looked away with guilt, secretly saying that they were shameless. Since Xiang Yuan had made the decision, it was time to end this drama. If they continued to indulge in it, they might not be able to get out of it.
The two women stopped immediately and dispersed their evil spirit. In front of the servants of Xu’s house, they rode on the black cloud and soared into the sky. They paraded through the city and headed straight for Jinshan Temple.
The commotion was so loud that I was afraid someone would miss it.
Gossip spreads at an astonishing efficiency. Before the two figures of Bai and Qing arrived at Jinshan Temple, the news that Xu Bancheng had married two monsters spread like wildfire, topping the Yishui City hot search list and radiating to the surrounding areas, becoming increasingly intense.
If nothing unexpected happens, the entire Baohua community will know about this matter tomorrow morning.
Back to the topic, there were huge waves outside Jinshan Temple.
The two figures in white and green cast a spell with demonic energy, causing dark clouds and heavy rain, which made the rivers and lakes turbulent, the water level rose, and hit the embankment, almost overflowing the river and flooding the fertile fields and streets of Yishui City.
The reason why it is almost is because with the blessing of the divine power of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and Zhenwu Emperor, it has a double insurance, so even if it looks loud, it cannot be flooded.
The waves were rolling, vast and boundless, overlapping one another, and the momentum was like thousands of troops galloping, rumbling towards the Jinshan Temple. The waves were so high that a slight pressure could raze the Jinshan Temple to the ground and turn it into a crystal palace at the bottom of the river.
“Fahai, hand over my husband!”
Two-colored snake shadows hovered in the sky, evil spirits stirred up violent winds and rainstorms, and a world-destroying natural disaster was brewing, frightening the monks in the temple so much that they all knelt before the Buddha.
They either prayed to Buddha or worshipped Guanyin, and at the last minute, they prayed to Buddha to show up and subdue the two daring snake monsters.
At first glance, what a beautiful female fairy, Xu Bancheng should become a monk!
Obviously, the monks were not aware that the Buddha had received a script outsourced from the Emperor of Heaven and was busy achieving results and leading Lingshan to become bigger and stronger. He could not come and would not come.
The Buddha’s feet are holding a lonely.
There is a Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, who has already arrived and is standing on the crest of the waves, asking for her husband!
“Amitabha—“
A Buddhist chant rang out from Jinshan Temple, the sound was like thunder, the sound waves and air waves swept away, pushing away the rain clouds in the sky, driving away the raging waves, and diverting them to the river branches, with a heart of kindness to water, moistening the water silently.
The sky was divided into two, with the sun hanging high above Jinshan Temple, serving as the dividing line. On the opposite side of the sky were rolling dark clouds, lingering evil spirits, and thunder dancing like snakes.
Golden light was shining on the ground. Fahai held the staff in one hand, flew in the air, and ascended into the sky on the golden lotus.
The monk’s expression remained unchanged, but his inner self had become Xiang Yuan. His divine power clone was taken back by him, and he died.
There is nothing for you to do now. I will play the next role.
“You evil woman don’t know how to live or die. I thought that you all have the aura of merit and it is not easy for you to practice, so I didn’t beat you into your true form. But I didn’t expect that my kindness almost led to the flooding of Jinshan Mountain. It’s true that Buddhism cannot be spread lightly, and mercy cannot be bestowed lightly.” Xiang Yuan said in a clear voice.
Last night she was hugging me left and right, calling me a good wife and darling, but today she turned her face away and called me a witch. The guide really understands the role-playing game.
The acting skills of Bai Yue Jushi and Ji Mucheng are worrying, and their line delivery skills are also very average. Xiang Yuan once said when he stayed up late to discuss the play that if the acting is not good, special effects can be used to make up for it, and the noise can be made bigger. When the audience sees the special effects, they will subconsciously ignore the flaws in the acting.
If you must act, don’t make it hard on yourself, just open your eyes wider and express your sorrow, joy, happiness and anger without words.
The two female protagonists listened to the advice, and then they opened their eyes wide, holding swords on the left and right, and caused a flood again. All the money for hiring actors was spent on special effects.
“Today I will show your true colors!”
Xiang Yuan’s brows moved, and a golden lotus platform appeared. There was a shadow of a giant Buddha sitting cross-legged, and a golden wheel behind him burst into infinite Buddha light. Rays of golden light filled the sky and earth, and bursts of sandalwood were refreshing.
Many strange Buddhist phenomena appeared one after another in the sky above Jinshan Temple, making the monks look pious and more reverent towards Buddha.
Considering that they have no wisdom, if the evil spirit prevails, the situation will be different.
It is possible to return to secular life on the spot.
The special effects of Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing could not compare to Fahai. Even with their extraordinary cultivation, they could not create any big waves at this moment. But for some reason, Ji Mucheng secretly exchanged some divine power and raised the waves suppressed by the golden light a lot higher, with a look on his face as if he would not give up to get his husband back.
Mr. Bai Yue shook his head secretly and then exchanged some of his divine power.
Wow, I thought I was already outrageous, but I didn’t expect you two to be even more exaggerated than me.
Xiang Yuan’s face darkened. Venerable Hui’an’s divine power was not as good as that of Emperor Zhenwu, so exchanging a little would not cause any harm. Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara’s magical powers were far superior to those of Emperor Zhenwu. Secretly exchanging a little made Xiang Yuan feel the pressure immediately.
When he asked through telepathic transmission, he got a reply that Fahai and Bai Suzhen shouldn’t have communicated with each other.
Xiang Yuan curled his lips and did not use the magic weapon of Emperor Zhenwu. He pointed his finger and the iron sword that suppresses water turned into golden light and merged into the tin staff in his hand.
When it comes to suppressing water, the Iron Sword that can suppress all rivers in the world is professional.
The magic sword was spiritual, and seeing that its master was of great importance, namely the Great Emperor Zhenwu and the Patriarch of the Nine Heavens Dangmo, it howled to express its loyalty and swore to be loyal to the emperor until death. It used its power to suppress the water, and suppressed the waves that were almost higher than the clouds, guiding the boundless water to disperse, flow down the river, and evacuate the four places.
The two women struggled for a while, and confirmed that Xiang Yuan was determined to end it. They sighed in their hearts and were taken away by the golden lotus platform with some reluctance.
He acted out the whole scene. Xiang Yuan raised his hand and grabbed the palm-sized lotus platform. Seeing the two small white and green snakes inside were unable to move, he threw the lotus platform into the air, and it turned into a golden pagoda, standing on the river bank not far from Jinshan Temple.
“Buddha is merciful. You have some merits after all. I am willing to give you a chance to repent. You can practice Buddhism here and leave when your merits are fulfilled…”
As soon as he finished speaking, Fahai disappeared.

In the world of gods, the purple bamboo forest.
Xiang Yuan stood in front of the lotus pond, watching Bai Yue and Ji Mucheng leave expressionlessly, shrugged, grabbed a handful of fish food and threw it into the pond, muttering that they were too difficult to serve.
It was you who said no, and it was you who insisted. You change your attitude faster than turning the pages of a book.
Xiang Yuan couldn’t guess what the two girls were thinking, but his wolfish ambition was too obvious. Seeing that Jinyu Linggan was pretending to be dead again, he took out the beauty scroll, went to the Wensi Hall, and hung it on the white wall of the side hall. This room was the quiet room where Bai Yue taught Ji Muqing to practice. As long as the two girls looked up, they could see the official’s masterpiece on the wall, and then they could recall the deep sisterly love.

Xiang Yuan did not stay in the Purple Bamboo Forest and get turned away. He placed a play with one hand to let the belly strip move on its own, and with a flash of his body, he rode the auspicious cloud to the Xuanwu Tongchu Mansion in Nanshanbuzhou.
On the way, he thought of the monkey under the Five Finger Mountain and raised his hand to calculate.
Time did not fast forward. After the Emperor of Heaven arranged the crew of Journey to the West, he suddenly stopped being in a hurry.
“What do you mean, wait until this wave of performance is over before starting to accelerate?”
Xiang Yuan didn’t quite understand. He only knew that the Emperor of Heaven was able to marry the Queen Mother in a flash and created Laozi without considering the consequences. He was definitely not a patient person and it was impossible for him to wait five hundred years before starting the journey to the West.
According to Master Jingyun, the Emperor of Heaven is seeking the truth, and The Legend of the White Snake is only a part of the pursuit of truth. All the gods and Buddhas in the sky are taking on the role, and everything is aimed at seeking the truth.
The Heavenly Court in the world of gods can seek the truth, and so can the Heavenly Courts in other upper realms. Perhaps the rules of the long river of time are not as simple as buy early and enjoy early, but there is indeed not much time left for the Emperor of Heaven. If he does not want to be acquired by other Heavenly Courts, he must make a major breakthrough in the pursuit of truth as soon as possible.

Qianyuan Realm.
Southern Xinjiang, Xiaodongtian.
Xiang Yuan did not disturb Chan’er’s practice. He sat alone under the pavilion, cross-legged on the meditation cushion, looking at the body jade, flipping through the Tao Te Ching in his hand. The aura around him became increasingly indifferent and ethereal, almost blending into one with nature.
“Hey, the sword method is natural, the Tao method is natural, the principles here are interconnected, and can be used as a reference…”
Xiang Yuan murmured something, and spewed out black and white energy, which evolved into two phantoms holding swords, one black and one white. They dueled in the air outside the pavilion, exchanging blows with each other. Under the correction of Guanshen Baoyu, the sword energy became more and more inclusive, and his sword skills reached the pinnacle.
Xiang Yuan’s swordsmanship is based on Jian Xinzhai, which he integrates into his own body to find the swordsmanship that suits him.
That being said, first the Dao Sword Realm and then the Sky Meteorite Sword were all copied sword arts. They seemed powerful only because they stood on the shoulders of giants. In fact, he himself still had only a superficial understanding of swordsmanship.
Jinchao used the principles in the Tao Te Ching to prove the way of the sword. Putting aside the influence of the realm of Tao and sword on himself, he gradually felt another natural sword method.
The sword of trend!
“Jianxinzhai’s scale is too small…”
Yin and Yang colors swam in Xiang Yuan’s eyes, and he paused in the middle of his words: “No, there is nothing wrong with Jian Xinzhai’s swordsmanship. It’s just that the world I have seen is too broad, and I look at the skills from the perspective of Taoism, so I have the illusion that it is nothing special.”
He watched the two black and white shadows fighting with swords. With a thought, the two figures suddenly sped up. In just a blink of an eye, the black and white colors merged and turned into a cycle of swimming fish chasing each other.
“Go against all things to become formless, gather all things in one body…”
Xiang Yuan muttered to himself, the black and white in his eyes moving faster and faster: “I have obtained the true meaning of formlessness, my body is one with all things, I should follow the path of the great trend!”
boom!
Xiang Yuan’s heart trembled, and the space in front of him suddenly became clear. A mysterious feeling came over him, and every part of his limbs conveyed the hungry desire to eat.
He practiced the Formless Seal Technique to refine the nearly endless medicinal power in his body, strengthening his spirit internally and his divine power externally, cultivating both his body and his soul, and his aura became more and more in line with the laws of nature.
The hunger is getting stronger!
Xiang Yuan felt it in his heart and pointed with his sword. The entrance to the small cave was opened, allowing him to sense the laws of the outside world.
Once in contact, thousands of thin threads will entangle and fill the gaps, strengthen itself, and merge into a small world surrounded by three hundred and sixty stars.
The stars in the big circle, the yin and yang in the small circle, the five elements in circulation…
The small world is enriched by the laws of heaven and earth, it rises and falls, it is destroyed and withered, and it is reborn as a chaotic chicken egg. It breaks down and then stands up again, reorganizing the small and large circulations, yin and yang, and the five elements.
Small destruction leads to small construction, big destruction leads to big construction, no destruction, no construction!
Xiang Yuan gained a lot from each destruction and reconstruction, until all the insights were digested. The reconstructed small world began to run around, coexisting in perfect posture with shining stars, yin and yang blending, and the five elements united.
Xiang Yuan exhaled a breath of foul air, opened his eyes, stood up and moved his hands and feet, and his bones all over his body crackled.
He raised his hand and grasped it, with the Crazy Beauty Sword in his hand, and the sword slashed through the sky, and the sword penetrated the void, splitting the small cave into two. The space shattered piece by piece along the crack until the entire small cave was covered in gray.
Xiang Yuan recalled the feeling of the world’s destruction and rebirth, raised his hand and swung the sword again, like the Sword Master in the Door Crack, reshaping the small cave and restoring it to its original appearance.
This time, there was no trace of the dilapidated demonic aura in the rebuilt small cave, and the mountains and rivers were beautiful, the scenery was more beautiful than before.
“not bad!”
Xiang Yuan stood under the pavilion, looking at the world he had created. He felt so fulfilled that he wanted to find Chaner to brag about it.
It’s a pity that it can’t be blown.
Chan’er and Xiao Lingyue were competing with each other. The two women were determined to defeat each other and enter the Grandmaster realm of Tongyou period first. At this time, disturbing each other and delaying their practice were secondary. What was troublesome was affecting the balance of power.
Xiang Yuan clenched his fists, his strength surged, and he felt that if he fought the corpse again, he would definitely be able to defeat the opponent in terms of numerical superiority.
Speaking of corpse spirits, Xiang Yuan couldn’t help but think of the mysterious Taoist master. After hesitating for a moment, he collected the magic weapons on the ground, moved through space and headed straight for the Huangquan Dao headquarters.
It is too painful to worry about gains and losses. Today I will go to the Taoist master to ask him clearly whether she is the mastermind behind the Xichu Dragon Vein.
Zuo Lengxie is now the head of Huangquan Dao, or rather, Zuo Lengxie has always been the head of the sect. With the assistance of the six great emissaries, the atmosphere within the sect has changed, and the mental outlook of all the inner disciples has become much more upright.
As it should be, those who were not upright, or those who committed many evil deeds, were eliminated by Zuo Lengxie and the six ambassadors.
Xiang Yuan was happy to see Huangquan Dao’s change of heart. It would be a good thing to have one less evil demon in the world, but that was all. It was impossible for him to contribute manpower and effort, so he was willing to provide Zuo Lengxie with all the help except this help.
Besides, Xiang Zuo Shi also contributed a lot. He restrained himself and suppressed the saint. The Yellow Springs Path was able to prosper, and he deserves half the credit in the book of merit.
In the forbidden area of the back mountain, Xiang Yuan stepped into the lifeless forest of steles and bowed at the end: “The Left Envoy of Huangquan, Xiang Wentian, requests to see the Taoist master.”
There was no response. The Taoist master remained silent, just like Senior Zhuang.
Xiang Yuan was not discouraged and spoke again: “Master, Xiang Wentian was in the capital of the Divine Capital some time ago…”
He explained the layout of the Other Shore Gate, as well as the Taoist Master’s coffin and corpse spirit: “The Other Shore Gate copied the Taoist Master’s style, and their intentions are worthy of death. Xiang Wentian only needs to wait for the Taoist Master’s order to order Zuo Lengxie to destroy the Other Shore Gate.”
Still no one answered, as if the Taoist master’s coffin had already died in the capital of the gods.
Xiang Yuan didn’t understand why and felt the atmosphere was weird.
It was a very familiar atmosphere, very much like the Kunlun Mountains in the world of gods. Master Jingyun disliked him in various ways. No matter what, he was disliked. It was unlucky to just look at him.
Could it be that the Gate to the Other Shore was really arranged by the Taoist Master, and he accidentally ruined the Taoist Master’s plan, which caused the Taoist Master’s displeasure?
Xiang Yuan waited for a while, and after confirming that the Taoist master did not want to see him, he left reluctantly.
“They are all like this. They keep silent when asked. These riddlers are really annoying.”
Xiang Yuan was walking on the mountain road muttering to himself when he ran into a group of men in black. He took a look and saw it was Zuo Lengxie, so he immediately showed his nose and rushed over.
“What are you looking at? A good dog doesn’t block the road, a good donkey doesn’t bray. If you have brought bad luck to this Left Envoy, I will capture a few inner sect female disciples and have fun with them in front of you.” Xiang Yuan put one hand on his waist, and two streams of hot air spurted out of his nostrils, one black and one white, moving between yin and yang.
“…”
The corners of Zuo Lengxie’s mouth twitched. He tried hard to coexist peacefully with Xiang Wentian, but as soon as the other party opened his mouth, he couldn’t help but want to subdue the demon.
I still say that, I really can’t tell that this guy is a good person.
“Speak up, what is it that has stopped me, the Left Envoy?”
“Have……”
“Hey, you spoke, not a good ass!”
“…”
Veins bulged on Zuo Lengxie’s forehead. He took two deep breaths and thought to himself that anger was harmful to one’s health. He must not get angry with the evil demons. If he got angry to death, the Huangquan Road would fall into Xiang Wentian’s hands. In less than three to five days, it would become like the eight evil demons.
“Xiang Zuo Shi, Taoist Zi Yang is here to see you and has been waiting for some time.” Zuo Lengxie said with a cold face.
Taoist Zi Yang came with the upgraded Jing Lan Sword, and when he couldn’t find Xiang Yuan, he went to look for Zuo Leng Xie. According to the latter, in the entire Huang Quan Dao, only the Saint Maiden could find Huang Quan Zuo Shi, who never went home, so he went to the Saint Maiden’s Hall to ask for an audience.
The saint is in seclusion.
Helplessly, Taoist Zi Yang went to Dilong Fort and waited.
“If you didn’t tell me earlier…”
Xiang Yuan was in a hurry to get the Jinglan Sword and was about to leave after passing Zuo Lengxie.
“Wait a moment.”
Zuo Lengxie frowned slightly and reminded, “There are a few unfamiliar faces around Taoist Ziyang. I asked who they were, but he just smiled and said nothing.”
Unfamiliar face?
Xiang Yuan frowned and immediately guessed that it must be Zi Yang who returned to Qingyun Sect, and the rumor that the founder had come to the world was spread all over the mountains and plains. The big and small idiots came in groups, all wanting to kneel before the founder and wait for his orders.
How ridiculous! We agreed not to spread rumors, so why are you telling lies outside?
Xiang Yuan shook his head and sighed. When a group of his disciples kneeled down later, should he accept it directly or refuse it three times before accepting it reluctantly?
Oh, it’s so depressing!
