Buddha is the Tao

In a modern city, in an old-style apartment. Alas! Zhou Qing frowned as he held a short sword that was more than a foot long, two fingers wide, crystal yellow in color, and had a few black spots on it. "Last month, I finally reached the realm of "Inducing Qi into the Body". It was not easy. I can drive a flying sword, but this flying sword is too difficult to make! I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on five hundred pounds of top-quality red copper, three hundred pounds of red steel, gold, silver, and jade chips, but in the end, I made a sword of too impure quality." Zhou Qing is a cultivator, and his master is the "Lianqi Sect". As the name suggests, this "Lianqi Sect" is mainly focused on making magic tools. It is a very small sect in the cultivation world, so small that other cultivation sects don't even know there is such a sect. Zhou Qing is also lucky. He just entered college, was young and passionate, and was determined to do good things and learn from Leifeng. After saving a beggar on the roadside with a bottle of mineral water, he became the successor of the "Lianqi Sect". He was accepted as a disciple by the beggar who called himself Lingyun Taoist. But after learning Taoism from Lingyun for a month, Lingyun threw down a copy of "General Principles of Weapon Training" and died. It turned out that Lingyun had a dispute with a disciple of Shushan Sword School in Changbai Mountain over a piece of Huangyun Crystal. As a result, he was beaten up by several disciples and was seriously injured. He was rescued by Zhou Qing and was dying. In this way, Zhou Qing became the leader of "Weapon Training Sect" in a legitimate way. Although he was a commander without troops.

I thought I had an adventure like the protagonists in countless novels, and I was the only one in the world from now on, but I didn't know that I still had to keep my tail between my legs.

The night was as cool as water, and a bright moon hung high in the sky, emitting a soft light of light blue. But it was midnight. On the balcony, Zhou Qing took out a few crystal jades. He pinched a few hand gestures to arrange a small seclusion formation to prevent the breath from leaking out during practice. Since he started practicing Taoism, Zhou Qing has made up his mind not to expose himself unless he is strong enough. Otherwise, he will end up like Ling Yun, the old ghost.

Zhou Qing sat cross-legged in the formation, with his five hearts facing the sky. A stream of moonlight shone on his head and then disappeared. A trace of cool air flowed along the meridians to the dantian. Zhou Qing immersed himself in this watery moonlight, using the spiritual energy of the moonlight to temper his body, expand his meridians, and increase his true strength.

"Introducing Qi into the Body", a cultivator must first cultivate his own true qi. Ordinary people practice qi, and it takes five years to feel the qi, and ten years to pass through the whole body. However, it takes decades of hard work to draw the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body and temper the body.

Zhou Qing is also a genius. In just five years, relying on the second-rate practice of "Lianqi Sect" in the cultivation world, he broke through the meridians of the whole body and reached the realm of introducing qi into the body. The Qi training method of the weapon training sect is second-rate, but the formation is first-rate. Weapon training is based on the formation. However, the methods recorded in the "General Outline of Weapon Training", formation, alchemy, talisman, and sword training are extremely sophisticated methods of making magic weapons, but a clever wife cannot cook without rice. The steel, iron, and copper used to make a slightly better flying sword may be counted in tons.

Zhou Qing had no choice. After graduating from university, he used his knowledge of weapon training to tinker with antique jade and other businesses. First, he wanted to make money. These days, without money, he couldn't do anything. Second, he wanted to see if he could find a few treasures handed down by the predecessors in the antique pile. You must know that each generation of the weapon training sect is pitifully weak, but the skill of appreciating treasures is something that other sects can't catch up with.

After a few years of hard work, Zhou Qing has a net worth of several million. Although he is not a rich man in modern times, he has no worries about food and clothing. But to make a better magic weapon, in addition to natural treasures, jade is a good material for storing true essence and carving arrays. A piece of good jade may cost more than tens of millions. In the past few years, Zhou Qing has only collected a few small pieces of Lantian jade, which can be used to set up a few arrays with little power.

After waking up from meditation, Zhou Qing felt that his true essence had become a little stronger, "Well! The way of heaven is long, don't be impatient, one day you will achieve the great way!" Ten fingers intertwined, "Quick!" The flying sword rushed out from the top of the head and turned into a yellow light, circling around the body. "The material is not good, it's okay to be able to practice like this, the skill is not enough, if you can emit the three flavors of true fire to refine the impurities, I guess it can carry people!" Zhou Qing secretly thought. Think about the white clouds floating above, stepping on the flying sword to travel through the famous mountains and rivers. Zhou Qing yearned for it.

"Hey! There is a slight fluctuation in the vitality. Someone is using magic!" Being able to draw the vitality of heaven and earth into the body, Zhou Qing naturally has a better understanding of the vitality. Although it was only a slight fluctuation, Zhou Qing still felt it.

In modern society, whether it is cultivators or demons and ghosts, they have all melted into the city and restrained each other. There are also several larger sects that have their own industries in the world. After all, the resources now are not as good as those in ancient times. In ancient times, cultivators could find iron ore, collect metals, jade and other raw materials by themselves to refine a flying sword. Modern minerals belong to the state. Want it! Okay, bring money to buy it. If you don't have money, you can't even be a god. And the top-grade genius treasures have been plundered by major sects for thousands of years. The cost-effectiveness of cultivation is extremely low. Often, a spiritual medicine that has grown for thousands of years can be eaten up by cultivators in a few bites. There are too many monks and too little porridge! If one thing appears occasionally, fighting for it is inevitable. Ling Yun lost his life because of it.

After mixing the cinnabar, he drew a hermit talisman on his chest to hide his breath, and attached a divine talisman on his leg. Zhou Qing quietly rushed to the place where the vibration occurred.

"Young man, you are going too far!" The python spirit was extremely angry. For a 500-year-old ginseng, he was chased for thousands of miles by two fourth-generation disciples of the Shushan Sword Sect. He was originally a white python in the deep mountains. He absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon, practiced for more than 200 years, and finally shed his body and turned into a human form. He found this ginseng in Tianshan. Just as he picked it and was about to take it, he encountered two Shushan disciples who came to snatch it. Although their Taoism was more than twice as deep as theirs, the other party's magic flying sword was too powerful. A man and a woman, both about 20 years old, the man used a green flying sword, and the green light was several feet long. The woman did the same, but the sword light was purple. The purple and green lights intertwined and crushed the evil spirit.

"How can a natural elixir fall into the hands of evil monsters!" The girl was slender, with willow eyebrows and beautiful face, and her clothes were very fashionable, just like a beautiful urban girl!

"Junior sister, why bother with him? Just kill him, and it will be considered as killing demons and exorcising demons." The young man said with pride and impatience.

"Ha! Ha! What a famous and upright sect, even killing people and robbing treasures is justified!" The python spirit laughed in anger.

"Looking for death!" The young man roared! "Double swords combined!" The two men and women shouted at the same time. Suddenly! The power of the purple and green lights increased greatly, and they twisted towards the python spirit. A sharp whistle sounded in the air, and ripples were shaken, as if the space was cut. The python spirit's face was extremely solemn, and with a strange sound, it spit out an egg-sized, green ball from its mouth, which was the demon pill that he had practiced hard!

Boom! The sword and pill collided! The huge vitality burst, and three figures flew back ten feet away. The python's face was as white as paper. Its lower body was originally two human legs, but now it has turned into a huge white snake tail! At least half of its Taoism has regressed! The python smiled bitterly! Looking at the unconscious girl over there, and the young man leaning on the ground with a sword and a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. Fearing injury, the two were defeated, and the python shook its tail, and a gust of demonic wind flew up with a shield! The python was not a kind person. He wanted to go forward to kill, but he was afraid of the young man's counterattack before his death. In addition, fighting in the city, even in the suburbs, he was afraid that he could not be as strong as the cultivator. After a little thought, it was not worth it! Dodge!

Seeing the python spirit walk away, the young man breathed a sigh of relief, put away the flying sword knocked down by the demon pill, and walked to the girl to check the injury, "Fortunately, I was just knocked unconscious. The damn python spirit actually injured me and my junior sister. When the injury is healed, I will invite more brothers. If I don't skin that beast, I will not be a human being!" Just as he was thinking, his heart hurt. Zhao Liang looked down and saw a yellow flying sword with black spots on it piercing his heart. It was difficult to breathe! Zhao Liang turned his head with difficulty and vaguely saw a masked man in black clothes, and then there was endless darkness.

Originally, Zhou Qing's strength was far inferior to Zhao Liang, but Zhao Liang was injured after the fierce battle. In addition, Zhou Qing deliberately concealed his breath and attacked by surprise, which was successful in one fell swoop. He quickly put away the two flying swords

Body search, two wallets, a secret book, and several pieces of jade. It was searched clean in an instant, and the whole process took less than a minute! Someone is coming! Two magic talismans hit his legs, and Zhou Qing successfully escaped.

Using the formation to quickly seal the spiritual energy of the two flying swords, Zhou Qing made a big circle and went to the Internet cafe in the city to surf the Internet for a while. He believed that no one was following him. When it was bright, he came out of the Internet cafe and went home.

Killing people and stealing treasures, you have to be careful when doing such things! If the other party's master knows about it, I guess I will be beaten to pieces! Returning to his residence, Zhou Qing was very excited! What a harvest! After a while of excitement, he calmed down. Zhou Qing began to think: I am now an ordinary person, so I guess I will not be suspected. As for the things, I am not in a hurry to move them. I will wait until the storm is over. I put away the talisman paper and cinnabar that I usually practiced.

For the next month, Zhou Qing did nothing, and did not practice kung fu. He just ran around the antique market every day and did business. He ate and slept, doing what ordinary people do. Be careful and you will be safe, Zhou Qing thought. Soon a month passed, and nothing happened. In the second month, Zhou Qing practiced carefully at night. After a month of practice, nothing happened. He was relieved.

In the room, Zhou Qing picked up a sword that was like autumn water, two feet long, and emitting green light all over the body and carefully examined it. "What a good sword! The whole body is made of Taiyi Jinjing, and even the hilt is made of red sandalwood heart that is more than a hundred years old!" Zhou Qing sighed. You should know that this red sandalwood heart has a great restraining effect on wronged ghosts and ghosts. It is made into wooden swords and tokens, which is better than peach wood that is more than a hundred years old. That's all. This Taiyi Jinjing is a rare thing. Five hundred kilograms of high-quality steel, tempered with Sanwei True Fire, can be refined into one gram. Usually, if you add one or two taels to practice flying swords, the quality of the flying sword will be doubled. These two two-foot-long swords together are probably more than ten kilograms. How much steel does that require! Especially the Sanwei True Fire can only be emitted by masters of "Practicing Qi and Transforming God".

Taoist Qi training is divided into four stages. "Introducing Qi into the Body", "Practicing Qi into Spirit", "Practicing Spirit Returning to Void", "Practicing Void and Combining Dao". Finally, one can achieve the Golden Immortal of Daluo, which is indestructible and eternal.

The difference between each stage is huge. The practitioner of "Introducing Qi into the Body" draws the Qi of heaven and earth to temper the body, and the body is as green as a swallow, breaking monuments and splitting stones. In the later stage of cultivation, one can even control a flying sword, and travel a thousand miles in a day.

"Practicing Qi into Spirit" is different. It uses one's own mind as a guide and the body as a medium. It can drive all kinds of energy in the universe without the help of any magic tools. It can emit thunder and lightning and three kinds of true fire with just a move of the hand.

"Practicing Spirit Returning to Void" can make one immortal. It can avoid the six reincarnations. "Practicing Void and Combining Dao" is to move mountains and fill the sea. In a blink of an eye, one can travel all over the world[***]. The breakthrough of each stage is probably not much different from Jingwei filling the sea and Yugong moving the mountain.

"Shushan Sword Sect is indeed rich enough to rival a country! Thousands of years of plundering are not to be underestimated. Even the imitation purple and green swords are extremely powerful. If it is the real Ziying Sword and Qingsuo Sword, I am afraid that the masters of "Practicing the Spirit to Return to the Void" can compete with them! No wonder even the Ten Thousand Year Blood Demon had to suffer the hatred of the two swords. Could it be that all Shushan disciples use such good flying swords to travel the world? Then the old ghost Lingyun did not die unjustly. Humph!! I robbed two excellent flying swords, as well as the secret manual, and my strength increased greatly. It can be regarded as revenge for the old ghost Lingyun." This time Zhou Qing was wrong. Although it was a replica, there were only a few in Shushan Sect. After all, Taiyi Jinjing was not so easy to get, and the savings of a thousand years were only a few dozen kilograms. Only disciples with extremely outstanding cultivation could get it, and the fathers of Zhao Liang and the junior sister had great power and financial resources in the world. The elders of Shushan also loved the two very much, so they were given two. Otherwise, with the cultivation level of the two people in the middle stage of Qi Induction, how could they seriously injure the white python with two hundred years of Taoism? The demon pill is the strength of the late stage of Qi Induction. One in the middle and one in the late stage, the difference in cultivation is more than three times.

"Sword Qi Lingkong Jue"Opening this stolen old-fashioned thread-bound book, even though Zhou Qing was very calm, he was still surprised. This is the practice of a profound sword immortal! Use the sword as a medium to communicate with the world and absorb energy. The better the sword, the faster the absorption speed, much faster than the physical body. No wonder the ancient sword immortals are rampant! "I said that those two guys have cultivated to the middle stage of Qi Induction in more than ten years?"

A stream of air surged and took the Qingsuo Sword into the body. The Ziying Sword was for women, and Zhou Qing was not stupid enough to take it. Although he was in the spirit of never wasting, with his current cultivation level, there was no way to erase the formation on it and practice it again, so he had to put it aside.

In the next few days, Zhou Qing did not go out, hiding at home and practicing the "Sword Qi Lingkong Jue" with the Qingsuo Sword. The material of the impure flying sword was also made into a four-inch square seal. Among the ancient treasures recorded in the general outline of weapon training, Zhou Qing was most interested in the Kongtong Great Sage Guangchengzi's Heaven-turning Seal, which can be large or small. When it is large, it covers a thousand miles in radius. When it is small, it is as small as a mustard seed. Under one blow, even the immortal-level masters who have reached the stage of practicing the spirit and returning to the void will be destroyed by the seal. It really has the ability to destroy the world. This seal, called the Small Heaven-turning Seal, not to mention the material problem, with Zhou Qing's initial cultivation of Qi, a little bit of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth transformed into the true essence to temper the body has been used up for more than half, and the other half is barely engraved on it to form a Xumi mustard seed array, so that the seal can be large or small, but even if Zhou Qing exerts all his strength, it can only be expanded from four inches square to one meter. It is not even close to covering a thousand miles. The few pieces of jade that were robbed were also good stuff. One of them, which was searched from the junior sister, was actually black jade, an excellent material for making invisibility talismans. Zhou Qing certainly would not waste it.

The river breeze was blowing, and the afterglow of the setting sun cast golden light on the river. Zhou Qing was filled with emotion, thinking back to his five years of cultivation. He was very cautious in everything and was really walking on thin ice. Zhou Qing knew very well that this world of cultivators was a world where strength was respected. In the eyes of cultivators, secular laws were not much stronger than waste paper. There were also strong people who killed people in the street without a word. After all, they came and went without a trace. How could the police find out?

"Humph! What I want is what I want. But without strong strength, everything is empty talk. From now on, I will plunder everything to improve my strength. What morality and justice, what avenue, go to hell. As long as I am strong enough, I am Tao. I am the sky. Why is the world so strong? It is because it is not kind. It treats everything as straw dogs! What gods, demons, immortals, and Buddhas. They are all illusory things. Only the eternal power is the real thing!!" Zhou Qing's mind rolled and roared like a tsunami. His expression was quite natural.

Walking along the river, we came to the antique street, which is the largest antique, jade and porcelain trading center in C City and is also well-known in H Province. As the sky gradually darkened, pedestrians on the street gradually returned home. The owners of each shop pulled down the iron gates, and the vendors were also carefully packing up their goods. Zhou Qing walked quickly to a storefront facing the street. "He Zibo, when did you come back!

"Well, I went to Tibet Province and came back home yesterday. I collected some small things. I was just about to call you to come and identify them in the evening, and here you are. Come in quickly, I'm closing the door."

He Zibo is Zhou Qing's college classmate. He has been determined to be a collector since he was a child. After graduation, he opened this antique shop with his girlfriend, unlike Zhou Qing who fights guerrilla warfare everywhere.

"Where is Yang Jing?" Zhou Qing came into the house, looked around, and asked. "Her! She went out shopping with a few sisters. I won't be back until after nine in the evening. Come and see. I have collected some good things in this trip to Tibet."

A dark blue Dharma wheel, densely engraved with Sanskrit scriptures. It is the instrument used by Tibetan Buddhist monks to pray for blessings. Some of them are highly skilled and add Buddha's power to it to make a magic tool to exorcise demons and exorcise evil spirits. Zhou Qing scanned it with his mind, but did not find any fluctuations in magic power. He knew that it was just an ordinary item, but it was very old and made very finely. It can be regarded as a superior folk craft. A few small and exquisite Tibetan knives, some antique and fragrant Tibetan decorations.

He picked up a few items at random, including the dark blue Dharma wheel. Zhou Qing pushed it aside and said to He Zibo: "Give me these items. How much are they?"

"Yikes! It's like this every time. Why don't you call yourself Zhou Paopi? "He Zibo laughed and scolded, "But you always get a good price. Damn, it's much more expensive than what I sell. I don't know how you find those suckers. So, the cost price is 2300."

"Okay! I'll take it. I'll give you the money tomorrow!"

"Don't worry, let's have a drink before we go. I just have a few bottles of beer here."

Zhou Qing shook his head when he heard it, "I won't drink with you. Yang Jing will skin you alive when he comes back." He Zibo has a very poor alcohol tolerance, but he regards alcohol as his life. I don't know how many times his wife scolded him for this. Thinking of Yang Jing's horror, Zhou Qing shuddered and grabbed his things. He ran out of the door and left a sentence, "Brother, you are committing a crime against the wind! "He Zibo was immediately depressed.

After several months of practice, the "Sword Qi Lingkong Jue" has made some achievements. The true essence in the dantian is rich, and the physical body is more than twice as strong. Just a few months have been better than his five years of hard practice. Zhou Qing sighed at the importance of the law of cultivation. But Zhou Qing was not very satisfied.

"Old man Lingyun said that although the Shushan Sword Sect is a big sect, it is still ranked below Kunlun, Tianshi, and Maoshan. Although the progress of this way of nourishing qi with swords is fast, it is a side door after all, and the foundation is not stable. There is no way. If I practice according to my own way, it will probably take decades to reach the middle stage of Qi! Well... I have to go out for a walk and snatch some laws from the Kunlun disciples who are practicing. Anyway, this is not the first time I have done this. They are a sect passed down by the ancient Taoists. There must be good things. "

Ding! Ding! Ding! As Zhou Qing slowly turned the Falun, it made a pleasant sound. A sense of tranquility flowed in his heart. Weird... I have found a treasure, Zhou Qing thought.

'It can calm the mind and eliminate the inner demons. It is a treasure of the Buddhist sect! How come there is no fluctuation of magic power? Especially since it seems to be engraved with lost ancient Sanskrit! It is really weird!'

If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. Zhou Qing has a weird surname, but he is not a radical person. Knowing that this Falun is not an ordinary item, he couldn't help but sigh when the Falun didn't respond at all after changing 36 methods of offering and refining magic weapons in a row. His mind was immersed in "Sword Qi Lingkong Jue" again, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth dissolved into Zhou Qing's Dantian bit by bit...
