Chapter 227 Lu Chunyang, beheading the three corpses?
A secret of Taoism.

After these words were spoken, even Xuanzang secretly raised his head.

Although Qilin Zhenren didn't know why Gao Changsheng suddenly mentioned Lu Zu at this time.

You know, from the known information and Gao Changsheng's words, the other party does not have any major connection with Quanzhen Taoism.

As for Lu Chunyang, he had long since left the martial arts world. Even Qilin Zhenren himself didn't believe what the relationship between him and Gao Changsheng was.

Lu Chunyang, Lu Zu, Lu Dongxuan, these names alone show the extraordinary nature of this person.

Although he is one of the five northern ancestors of Quanzhen Taoism, his influence is actually not limited to Quanzhen.

In Taoism, in the martial arts world, and even in the entire Jiuzhou, he is a legendary figure.

Of course, it is human nature to be curious about such people.

If it were an ordinary situation, Gao Changsheng would never have asked and let the two of them do this.

But what time is it now? The whole country of Sui is in turmoil, and earth-shaking changes are imminent.

At such a critical moment, Gao Changsheng came to Luoyang from Daxing just to ask some stories of his ancestors.

This seems strange.

Could it be that something happened to Gao Changsheng that involved this person?

But think about it, it shouldn't be like that.

Gao Changsheng had only been in the industry for a year or two, but Lu Chunyang's trace had disappeared for more than a hundred years.

Not to mention Gao Changsheng, even the Quanzhen people might not be able to contact this person.

Of course, although I don’t understand.

But since Gao Changsheng had spoken, the two would not just sit there and wait and see.

"It's him and it's not him. Are you trying to reconcile?"

Gao Changsheng did not hesitate and asked.

“Could it be related to the method of reincarnation?”

Upon hearing this, Qilin Zhenren shook his head:

"After Lu Chunyang left Songdi, he did enter Liyang and founded his own sect. The last place he disappeared was also in Liyang."

"There is also a legend about Lu Zu's reincarnation in Liyang."

"But his situation is not the same as reincarnation."

Qilin Zhenren paused before continuing:
"Ordinary reincarnation is nothing more than the reincarnation of the soul. The ultimate goal is to replace another's body with your own, regain your true self, and continue your life."

"But in reality, the danger involved is extraordinary. If one only practices ordinary cultivation, the final outcome will only be the gradual annihilation of consciousness."

"But Lu Chunyang is different."

"When Qi Xuanzhen on Mount Longhu attained enlightenment, his true self completely returned without the slightest discord. It felt like he was a completely different person, except that before that, Lu Chunyang's consciousness had deliberately fallen into a deep sleep."

Speaking of this, Qilin Zhenren couldn't help but frowned.

Obviously, he doesn't quite understand the specific situation.

"The day Qi Xuanzhen attained enlightenment, he returned to the peak, but that day was also the day he died."

"This is definitely not because of his injuries or life span. Everything was done on his own initiative."

Qilin Zhenren shook his head and said, "According to my guess, Lv Chunyang should have an extremely special road. I don't know the specific situation. After all, my Daode Sect is in Beimang, which is naturally opposed to Liyang. Without special circumstances, we rarely enter Liyang."

"But one thing is for sure. Lu Chunyang's situation is definitely not reincarnation. Even if it is, it is not reincarnation in the ordinary sense."

Gao Changsheng frowned. Qilin Zhenren's narration was really too general.

"I know a thing or two about this matter."

Lin Lingsu obviously saw Gao Changsheng's expression and spoke.

"Although Lü Zu belongs to Quanzhen Dao, his influence has long radiated to the entire Dao sect. His legends can be found in all parts of the Nine Continents."

Hearing Lin Lingsu's voice, Gao Changsheng and Qilin Zhenren both turned their eyes.

Although the Daode Sect has an ancient heritage, because the sect is located in Beimang and the political system of Beimang is special, they don’t have much connection with the entire Taoist sect and are in a state of being close yet distant.

But Lin Lingsu is different. His Shenxiao Sect is located in the Song Dynasty, which is the most prosperous place of Taoism.

More importantly, Lin Lingsu is not only the founder of the Shenxiao Sect, but also served as the national teacher of the Song Dynasty. So when it comes to his understanding of Taoist secrets, Lin Lingsu definitely surpasses most people.

"Your Highness should be confused about what the real person said before, that it was him and not him, right?"

Gao Changsheng nodded.

"What Qilin Zhenren meant by this is not referring to the so-called incarnation of Qi Xuanzhen after Lü Zu entered Liyang."

"It refers to Lu Chunyang who entered Liyang."

Upon hearing this, Qilin Zhenren nodded, but did not speak. He only knew a general idea about the matter and was also curious at this time.

"What do you mean by this?"

Gao Changsheng spoke.

Lin Lingsu let out a long breath:

"Everyone in the world knows Lu Chunyang's identity. He is one of the founders of Quanzhen Taoism. His golden elixir method and swordsmanship are unrivaled in the world."

Having said that, Lin Lingsu glanced sideways at Xuanzang who was standing blankly beside her.

"But in fact, Lu Chunyang is an outlier in Quanzhen, and even in the entire Taoist sect."

"In the common people's impression, Lv Chunyang's Taoism was passed down from Zhengyangzi Zhongli Quan."

"But in fact, Lv Chunyang traveled all over the world, and what he gained in his life was definitely not limited to this place. At least as far as I know, Lv Chunyang and the former Fire Dragon Master had a close relationship, and the second Fire Dragon Master came from the Huashan Dao of Patriarch Chen Tuan."

"Of course, no matter how many inheritances Lu Chunyang has, Quanzhen is his main focus after all." Lin Lingsu smiled: "But that's the problem."

"Quanzhen Dao eliminates emotions and desires, and takes the path of supreme forgetfulness of emotions."

"And Lu Chunyang is carefree and unrestrained, passionate and emotional. He follows the path of true affection."

"The affair between Master Lu of Chunyang and the woman surnamed Bai shocked the entire Taoist sect."

Hearing this, Xuanzang's eyes lit up involuntarily and he secretly raised his head again.

"Of course, the specific reason for that incident is unknown to ordinary people."

"Some people say it was Lu Chunyang's love tribulation, while others say Lu Zu was really moved by love and it wasn't a tribulation."

"But I heard that Lu Zu once swung a sword in the Quanzhen ancestral temple and suppressed all the voices of dissatisfaction." Lin Lingsu said with a smile.

Xuanzang's eyes lit up instantly and his face turned red, as if he had thought of something exciting.

"What does this have to do with Li Yang's affairs?" Gao Changsheng frowned and asked.

"Because of a secret method."

Lin Lingsu spoke.

"Lü Chunyang is a maverick. No one knows the details of many of his actions except himself."

"Leaving Dasong and heading straight to Liyang, perhaps it's because of the love calamity."

"But there is one thing I do know for sure. The one who caused the commotion in Liyang was not Lu Chunyang's real body."

After these words were spoken, several people looked at True Man Qilin.

If it is not the real body, then it is an incarnation.

In Taoism, the most famous method of incarnation is undoubtedly the Daode Sect's method of transforming one qi into three pure ones.

"Lü Chunyang did go to Daode Sect back then, and his goal was to transform our sect into the Three Pure Ones."

"But Lu Zu's identity is special after all. He is the founder of Quanzhen."

"The fundamental law of my Daode Sect has fallen into the hands of Quanzhen. This is of great significance."

"So I didn't agree to it, and Lu Zu didn't force it."

"Is this true? No wonder."

As soon as Qilin Zhenren finished speaking, Lin Lingsu let out a soft cry.

"It turns out that he didn't get what he wanted. No wonder Lu Zu chose that secret technique in the end." Lin Lingsu shook his head.

"What secret technique?"

The first to speak was Qilin Zhenren.

From Lin Lingsu's words, we can learn that Lu Chunyang failed in his quest to transform one qi into three pure ones, so he chose another method.

But in Taoism, he really couldn't think of any other method of incarnation that could truly point to the Great Dao, except for the One Qi Transformation into Three Pure Ones of their Daode Sect.

As for the Buddhist methods, that should not be possible.

Although Quanzhen Taoism has the concept of the unity of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, it only absorbs the concept, not the method of cultivation.

As for Lu Chunyang, he was an outlier in the Quanzhen sect. Qilin Zhenren would definitely not believe that he would betray Buddhism.

"Before entering Liyang, Lu Chunyang traveled with Ge Hong, and the two had a very pleasant conversation."

Lin Lingsu said something irrelevant to the question.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Qilin Zhenren's expression changed obviously.

"Master Baopu, he actually chose that method?"

This time, even Gao Changsheng showed curiosity.

Of course he had heard of Ge Hong's name, who was also a Taoist ancestor.

But once this name came out, it actually made the two of them show such expressions, which naturally made people curious.

"I have also heard of Master Ge's name. What is so special about him?"

Qilin Zhenren first shook his head and smiled, then slowly spoke:
"Master Baopu is a great sage of the Daoist sect. The entire Danding lineage has benefited from his kindness, so there is naturally nothing wrong with it."

"The reason why the old Taoist is so shocked is because of a secret method."

After a brief pause, Qilin Zhenren spoke again:
"Ge Hong, the Taoist master, collected the inheritance of his predecessors and combined all his own knowledge to write the book Baopuzi."

"This is also one of the Taoist treasures."

"And in this book, there is a very unique secret technique recorded."

"What secret technique?"

Gao Changsheng spoke.

This should be the method that surprised Qilin Zhenren and was also the method that Lu Dongbin used to replace the method of transforming one qi into three pure ones.

"Three Corpses Technique!"

The one who spoke this time was Lin Lingsu.

As soon as the voice came out, everyone in the field paused at the same time.

Xuanzang's whole body trembled. These few words made him think of countless evil spells that could suck away one's soul.

Of course, Gao Changsheng would definitely not be as ignorant as Xuanzang.

But there was also a hint of surprise in his eyes.

I couldn't help but exclaim:
"How to kill the three corpses?"

This method is truly famous. In the previous life, it was even considered one of the most legendary methods.

"Yes, this is the method?"

Lin Lingsu nodded.

"The Taoist sect has had the so-called Three Corpses since ancient times, and many ancient books have recorded it."

"But the Three Corpses are invisible and formless, and there is no definitive answer to what they are and how to deal with them."

"Some people say that the three corpses are gods, invisible and intangible. Some people say that they are poisonous insects in the body, so there is a saying of three corpses and nine insects. Some people even say that they are three kinds of poisonous gas in the human body."

"But no matter which version it is, they all agree on one point: the three corpses are a hindrance to the Tao, so there is the idea of ​​beheading the corpses to attain the Tao."

Gao Changsheng nodded: "According to what the two masters said, Master Ge Hong has created a truly feasible method of beheading corpses?"

The two nodded at the same time, but shook their heads at the same time:
"Yes and no."

"Ge Hong did record a method of beheading corpses in Baopuzi."

"He collected a lot of records left by his predecessors and combined them with his own understanding to create this method."

As soon as Lin Lingsu finished speaking, the voice of Qilin Zhenren was heard.

"In Baopuzi, Ge Hong put forward a brand new viewpoint: the three corpses are not poison, not air, nor insects, but spirits, thoughts, and one's own attachments."

"So what he meant by beheading the corpse was actually beheading the obsession and the soul."

Having said that, they both sighed at the same time.

"This statement really surprised many people and truly redefined the Three Corpses."

"However, this method is too dangerous. The three corpses are invisible, and this method is also invisible. The so-called severing of obsessions is equivalent to severing the original spirit."

"The soul is the foundation of a person. A little turmoil will result in a significant reduction in the spiritual power."

"Besides, Ge Hong's Three Corpses Technique is by no means a simple operation on the soul. The complexity and danger involved are enough to shock people."

Lin Lingsu nodded: "After Ge Hong proposed this method, he did not keep it to himself, but invited many Taoist masters to discuss it together."

“But in the end, none of those Taoists with rock-hard hearts dared to truly practice. Even Ge Hong himself did not dare to move rashly.”

“So this method has been shelved ever since.”

"Yes, I really didn't expect that Lu Zu would choose this method. It's really..." Qilin Zhenren was still shocked.

"So, this Pure Yang Zhenren has mastered the art of beheading the three corpses." Gao Changsheng chuckled.

"Whether he has succeeded is still unknown, and it is too early to say, but he must have entered the door. The Master Chunyang is indeed worthy of his reputation. It is not just his aptitude and talent, but his courage to be the first in the world alone makes this old Taoist admire him." Qilin Zhenren said.

"So that's how it is. So, the so-called reincarnations that appeared in Li Yang are actually Lu Chunyang himself." Gao Changsheng spoke with interest.

"Yes, normally no one can tell the truth, but once..." Lin Lingsu nodded.

"Once you attain enlightenment, or encounter a sudden change, the Pure Yang Dao Fruit will awaken instantly." Gao Changsheng added.

The two nodded.

"strangeness."

At this moment, Xuanzang on the side suddenly spoke, attracting the attention of several people.

Xuanzang shuddered, but still said weakly: "The three corpses are obsessions. Killing the three corpses is to kill the obsessions. This is obviously a ruthless way."

"But according to what you said, isn't the Pure Yang Master practicing the Way of Compassion? Why would he choose such a dangerous method that is not in line with his own path?"

"You, little monk, do have some wisdom." Lin Lingsu nodded and smiled.

"Yes, this is also the doubt of countless people, but no one knows the reason. Maybe it is because he has gone through a love tribulation and gained enlightenment, or it may be other reasons. In short, there are many different opinions within the Taoist sect. This can be regarded as an unsolved mystery in the Taoist sect. Perhaps one day he will be able to..."

"Ah~~~"

Before Lin Lingsu could finish her words, she was interrupted by a sudden scream, and the person who screamed was Xuanzang.

"I'm blind, I'm blind, ah~"

A voice with a hint of panic came out of Xuanzang's mouth.

But none of the three people around him paid any attention to him.

Several people turned to look out the window at the same time.

After a long time, Xuanzang stopped screaming and blinked his eyes hard.

Only then did he realize that there was nothing wrong with his eyes, but that the sky outside had suddenly darkened.

"The sun, the sun has set?" Xuanzang murmured.

“Brush, brush, brush.”

It was at this moment that the inky black sky suddenly lit up with stars.

It was not until this time that Xuanzang discovered that the sun and the moon in the sky had not disappeared.

But it seemed to have taken away all the light, and now only two circles remained, one on the left and one on the right.
