Becoming a God from a Water Monkey

Chapter 351 breathlessness
"Master, what is bad luck and disaster?"

Liang Qu humbly asked for advice.

Bad luck and disaster energy, judging from the names, it seems that they are related to red energy and dead tree reviving spring energy?
"The martial arts path is generally divided into four levels and seven paths. Do you know how to enter the Zhenxiang Dao, which connects the previous and the next?"

"I don't know, please enlighten me, Master."

Liang Qu had not been to the academy for a long time, but he never stopped learning and often went to the academy to borrow books to make up for his shortcomings.

However, among the numerous collections in the academy, there were very few books about grandmasters and above. Even the concept of true arts was popularized to him by Si Tianye and Si Shenfu.

It is obvious that the imperial court is deliberately controlling the flow of information.

Fortunately.

There is a real grandmaster in front of Liang Qu.

"To become a Grandmaster and extend your life by 300 years, the most crucial step is to 'eat Qi'."

"What is 'eating air'?"

The old monk turned his rosary beads and said, "There is a saying in Huainanzi Honglie: For all terrain, east and west are the latitude, north and south are the longitude, mountains represent accumulated virtues, rivers represent accumulated punishments, high places represent life, low places represent death, hills represent males, and low places represent females...

All of them resemble their qi and correspond to their kind. Therefore, there are immortal grasses in the south, ice that never melts in the north, a country of gentlemen in the east, and mutilated corpses in the west...

Those who eat leaves are like silkworms, those who eat meat are brave and fierce, and those who eat air are like gods and live long..."

The old monk recited a long passage, but Liang Qu didn't understand its meaning.

The old monk glanced at him, raised his head and looked around the west wing: "If you want to build a house, what do you need to prepare?"

Liang Qu asked without hesitation: "Money?"

"Be specific."

"Hmm... wood? Mud? Brick?"

“Qi is wood, mud, bricks and stones. The master’s magical power can create a mansion with thousands of rooms.

Once a house is built, it will not be eroded by wind and rain for three hundred years. This is the truth of longevity. "

Liang Qu seemed to be thinking about something.

The old monk continued, "There are all kinds of incredible phenomena between heaven and earth. Different phenomena correspond to different qi. They all resemble their qi and respond to their kind. Disaster phenomena give rise to disastrous qi, and chaotic phenomena give rise to chaotic qi."

Liang Qu thought of his own red energy and the energy of a dead tree returning to life in spring.

The red gas comes from the three-day sky-high phenomenon that occurs every twenty-three or twenty-two years.

One wisp was collected every ten days, and Ze Ding collected two wisp in total. One of them, Liangqu, was combined with ten thousand water essences in exchange for the second favor of Emperor Chuanzhu.

As for whether the two-day flying sky on the ordinary Binghuo day can be collected, it is not known yet. We have to wait until the Binghuo day in July or August next year to verify it again.

The dead trees are coming back to life with the breath of spring, which is the result of the post-disaster reconstruction of the entire Huazhu County, which has recovered from the sorrow and grief.

The sources of both are exactly the same.

"Master, everything resembles its qi, and everything corresponds to its kind. Does that mean that everything has qi?"

"Of course!"

The old monk showed approval, "Everything has Qi, but it is difficult for people to use Qi. Do you know that there are four difficulties in eating Qi?"

"Four difficulties?"

The old monk explained in detail.

"The first difficulty is to find. Everything in the world, mountains, rivers, and lakes all have qi, but the qi is like dregs of wood and mud, and it is not possible to build a house. Only at special nodes can you find good wood and solid stone!
The second difficulty is to collect it. The Qi is ethereal and elusive, and can only be collected and stored with specific containers!
The third difficulty is food. Different qi requires different "mediums" to guide and refine! Otherwise, even if there is qi, it can only be seen but not eaten!

The fourth difficulty is transformation. Qi and people have similarities. If the similarities are not compatible, the house will be prone to water leakage! "

what……

Is it so difficult to eat air?

Liang Qu fell into deep thought.

"In fact, ordinary people say that there are five difficulties in 'eating qi'. The last difficulty is that it is difficult to calm down. I don't think so."

Liang Qu pricked up his ears: "I'd like to hear the details."

"Qi has high and low quality. High-quality qi is used to build high-quality rooms. People say that high-quality rooms make it easier to enter the realm of martial saints. In fact, this is wrong. High-quality qi and low-quality qi are the same in the path to becoming a martial saint!" "No difference? Then why do you feel so upset?"

"I think that 'difficult to settle' should be changed to 'difficult to contend with'! You came from a humble background, so you should be able to understand the meaning of this."

Liang Qu thought about it and roughly understood it.

It is still the difference between the accumulation of advantages and the accumulation of disadvantages. One step ahead leads to all steps ahead, and one step behind leads to all steps behind.

Compared with those with a high starting point, even if they have the same opportunities, people with a low starting point are still at a disadvantage in competition, and the disadvantage is likely to expand.

Not only a master, the accumulation has already begun since he embarked on the path of martial arts.

With Yang Dongxiong's support, Liang Qu didn't have to worry about any martial arts skills, as they were all top-notch, and he didn't have to spend too much time, energy and resources on them.

But many people, after obtaining their first great merit, do not exchange it for rare treasures to advance, but instead exchange it for a suitable martial arts book.

When the next round of competition comes, Liang Qu will have both the skills and the blessing of natural treasures, so it will naturally be easier for him to obtain the second great achievement.

The third round, the fourth round...

As time goes by, there are fewer and fewer people on the road. Looking back, my former companions are gradually drifting away.

"But Master, there isn't much difference between the two, right? If it's hard to compete for lower-level Qi, doesn't that mean it's not easy to become a Martial Saint?"

“No.” The old monk shook his head. “Look at a mountain as a mountain. Look at a mountain as not a mountain. Look at a mountain as a mountain again. You will understand it later.”

Seeing that the old monk was unwilling to explain in detail, Liang Qu did not ask any further questions and brought the topic back to where it had been going in circles.

"Then the evil spirit and calamity spirit must cause chaos and disaster to occur? So the dam breach reminded the master of them?"

"That's right. The Snow Mountain Region where the Great Snow Mountain Sect is located is different from Dashun. Although it is the source of the two rivers and is mysterious and unpredictable, the living environment there is extremely harsh. Cold miasma is everywhere, wheat cannot take root, and the people are struggling.

Therefore, the beliefs that emerged are extremely primitive. The humans are neither humans nor the ghosts are neither ghosts. It is hard to imagine if you have not seen it with your own eyes.

Evil spirit, disaster spirit, is the superior spirit that the Great Snow Mountain Grandmaster often cultivates in this environment, and its power is terrifying..."

Liang Qu felt it was strange to hear the old monk discussing the nature of the birth of faith, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

"Master, can you tell me in detail what power it has?"

The old monk put his hands together and said, "Everything that the master I killed did and thought could lead to the worst outcome for me."

Liang Qu didn't understand why it was so powerful.

In that case, isn’t this an alternative way of controlling luck?
Weird...

"What kind of container is used to collect the disaster and evil spirits? Can one container only hold one kind of spirit?"

"Look at the nature. For example, disaster energy and misfortune energy are similar and can often be contained in the same container. The master evil monk came out of the Great Snow Mountain to collect disaster energy for his disciples. I saw that he used a bowl made of a skull. The edge was inlaid with gold. The bones were crystal clear. It looked quite extraordinary. I destroyed it afterwards."

Skull?
Liang Qu felt a chill on his head when he heard this, as if something was passing through his forehead.

Some discussion.

Liang Qu's understanding of Qi became more and more profound, and he realized that different Qi often had different magical effects.

The red air and the air of dead trees returning to life in spring, I think this is exactly the "energy" needed to reach the Grandmaster level!
Ze Ding is invincible!

Liang Qu does not have any of the five difficulties that other people have, and it seems that he has no problem accepting people with similar personalities?

Red air and dead wood coming back to life, the two don't seem to be compatible no matter how you look at them. And logically, Ze Ding should be of the water element, yet it can even absorb red air.

In this case, the reason why the red energy cannot be used is perhaps because it is incompatible with my nature?

As for what kind of energy the old monk consumed and what kind of supernatural powers he condensed.

Liang Qu was too embarrassed to ask because the question was too personal, like asking someone what their trump card was.

After a while, Liang Qu changed the subject.

"Master, has there been any breakthrough in the Yogacara school?"

"Have!"

The old monk pulled out a stack of manuscripts from the drawer under the table.

"Eye consciousness and nose consciousness are both here."
