Chapter 808 Identity (Part II)
"It's a person, it's a dead person!"
Ye Tian spat out a few sour words with great difficulty, but all he said was nonsense, even Lei Hu could see that the Taoist sitting on the ground was a dead man!
From the front, the Taoist is no different from a living person in terms of demeanor or exposed skin, and he sits upright, looking as if he is meditating.
However, the back of this Taoist man, starting from the lumbar spine and extending up to the bottom of the neck spine, the entire flesh turned outward, cracking a large hole nearly a meter long, but no blood flowed out.
The skin and flesh under the yellow skin were golden yellow, and even the long spine was golden all over its body, and all the internal organs were this color, which looked extremely strange.
"Master, this ...... What's going on?"
Lei Hu has seen a lot of dead people in his life, but at this moment he only felt that his heart was beating "dong dong", if he saw this situation in a different environment, he would only think that it was a metal dummy.
Ye Tian showed a respectful look on his face and muttered: "Feather into an immortal, this ...... This is a real immortal!"
The word feathering first comes from nature, when insects change from pupae to adults, insects from nymphs or pupae, through the process of molting and changing into adults, it can be called feathering, taken from the thirteenth volume of "Search for Gods": "Wood beetles give birth to insects, and they become butterflies." Meaning.
In the classics of Chinese Taoism, when human beings cultivate to the extreme, they can jump out of the cycle of birth and death, birth, old age, illness and death, which is called feathering into immortality.
After this term came out, later generations often regarded the death of some Taoist masters as immortals, but in fact, those people were just normal births, old age, illness and death, and had nothing to do with becoming immortals and Buddhas.
All of the above are known to the world, as long as you spend a little bit of effort, you can find out, but in the history of Taoism, there have been a few monks who really molted their bodies like insects, leaving behind immortal bodies.
In the sixties of the last century, a mountaineering team once discovered a cave on an inaccessible cliff in Huashan, and after descending into the cave with the help of ropes and other objects, the mountaineering team was surprised to see that there was actually a Taoist corpse inside.
Unlike ordinary dead people, this corpse was incorruptible and lifelike, but there was a crack in its back, which frightened these mountaineers at that time, and they did not dare to move the Taoist's bones rashly, and reported the matter to the local government.
After hearing about this, the local government immediately organized people from the archaeological department and the Taoist Association to go to the scene.
But in that frenzied era, many people classified things they could not understand into feudal superstitions, and the local government finally cremated the Taoist's body despite the opposition of the Taoist Association.
Later, after Ye Tian's master Li Shanyuan heard about this from his Taoist friends, he beat his feet and chest for a long time, scolding those people as prodigals and blaspheming his ancestors.
According to the inference of Li Shanyuan and his friends, if the person in the cave is not unexpected, it should be the ancestor Chen Chuan, and the crack in the back may be the true explanation of Taoist feathering.
It's just that all of this was inferred by Li Shanyuan, and he didn't know where the soul would go after he left the body, and how he could survive in the world, because Li Shanyuan himself was just a transformation cultivation, everything was just imagination out of thin air, and there was no real evidence.
After seeing the person in front of him, Ye Tian suddenly remembered what Master had talked about when they were chatting, the situation between the two was almost exactly the same, this person was most likely a real cultivator, and this scene may be a kind of realm that Ye Tian did not know about.
"Master, has this person really become an immortal?" After a while, Lei Hu also slowed down, a murderous person like him, the living are not afraid, let alone the dead, but the person in front of him was too weird, which made him a little panicked for a while.
"I don't know, I can't tell clearly, maybe he really became an immortal, right?"
Ye Tian shook his head, if Ding Hong were here, he might still be able to answer Lei Hu's question, but he knew too little about the things on the path of cultivation, and he didn't know if this phenomenon really existed?
"Okay, don't disturb the physical body of our ancestors, let's go out first."
Looking at the Taoist in front of him, Ye Tian vaguely guessed his identity, but this matter was very different from what was recorded in some classics, Ye Tian also needed to sort out the wooden slips outside to see if he could find the answer from them.
After coming to the outhouse, Ye Tian said to Lei Hu: "Lei Hu, you go outside to practice, catch fish from the sea when you are hungry, there are mountains and streams here when you are thirsty, be careful not to be too far from the beach, the animals on this island are not for you to deal with."
It is right at the foot of the high mountain rock wall, there is a stream next to the house that lasts all year round, and the hill is full of various plants, including Huang Jing Shou Wu and other things, I don't know if this Taoist planted it on it back then?
"Yes, Master, I know." Lei Hu agreed, exited the wooden house, and stayed with a corpse that didn't know how to die.
"This "Dao Jing" was written by Zhang Sanfeng, is the person in it really him?"
Looking at the wooden slips scattered on the table, Ye Tian's eyes suddenly froze, because he found that on a wooden slip in the upper right corner of the table, it seemed that the words Zhang Sanfeng were written, and he quickly reached out and took it over.
"Yu Zhang Sanfeng, born in the period of the Hundred Schools of Thought, went through many dynasties of the Qin and Han dynasties, and pursued the Great Way for more than 2,000 years......"
Looking at the words written on the wooden slip, a secret of the monastic world was slowly unveiled as a mystery, and Ye Tian's face was constantly changing, he could never have imagined that Zhang Sanfeng, who was born in the Taoist record of the end of the Song Dynasty in 1247, actually had such a big background.
According to Zhang Sanfeng's self-report, he was born in the same era as the sons of Confucius and Mencius, and met a monk in the mountains when he was a child.
It's just that Zhang Sanfeng, who has never entered the world, has never been able to get the true meaning of the Great Way, and then suddenly woke up and came out of the mountains and entered the world with a big smile.
In just over two hundred years, he was promoted from the early stage of Jindan to the late stage of Jindan, and encountered the Yuan Infant Tribulation.
But what Zhang Sanfeng didn't expect was that just when he was passing the Yuanying Heavenly Tribulation, a space gap suddenly cracked between heaven and earth, sucking his whole person in.
When he was cultivating, the Three Immortals Mountain was known as the holy land of immortals, but it had been floating on the sea, and it was not a person with a great chance to enter it by chance.
But after entering the "Penglai" Immortal Island, Zhang Sanfeng discovered that this was not the case, it was true that the "Penglai" island was full of spiritual energy, but there were many legendary beasts, and there were many fierce beasts, and the strength of many beasts was not even below him.
Zhang Sanfeng spent ten years traveling around the entire "Penglai" Immortal Island, and finally he was sure that if he thought he was the owner of the island, there would definitely be no second person to compete with him.
Zhang Sanfeng originally tried to leave the island, but he found that in the air of "Penglai" Island, there was a layer of prohibition that could not be broken through with his later Jindan cultivation, and on the sea surface more than 3,000 meters away from the island, there was also such a layer of prohibition, which wrapped the entire island.
Zhang Sanfeng had originally lived in seclusion in the mountains for more than two thousand years, his temperament was calm, and if he couldn't go out, he would treat it as a different environment to practice, but he didn't feel any discomfort, so he built a wooden house and practiced in the place with the most abundant spiritual energy on this island.
However, what puzzled Zhang Sanfeng was that although the island had a strong aura, I don't know if it was because he had been interrupted during the Du Yuan Ying Thunder Tribulation, his realm had never been able to break through the late stage of the Golden Pill, and the Yuan Ying Thunder Tribulation never appeared again.
After more than two hundred years of cultivation on the island, Zhang Sanfeng found that he had not been able to break through to the primordial infant realm for a long time, and after living for more than two thousand years, his limit was finally coming.
Zhang Sanfeng, who has pursued the way of heaven all his life, is only one step away from dying and immortal, and he is a little unwilling in his heart, he left a word at the end of the wooden slip, ready to abandon the stinky skin of the body, and use the primordial spirit that is almost transformed into a primordial infant to make a final effort to see if he can break the shackles between heaven and earth.
Before making this choice, Zhang Sanfeng left behind various insights from his more than 2,000 years of cultivation, and the wooden slips piled up all over the wooden house were engraved by him at the last moment for those who were destined to do so.
"What happened to the original god after he left the body?" The record came to an abrupt end here, seeing Ye Tianxin's head itching as if it had been scratched by a cat's paws, and he couldn't wait to rush into the inner room to ask about the physical skin.
"No, with Zhang Sanfeng's later stage of Jindan cultivation, he can't get away from this island, then...... Then won't I be trapped here for the rest of my life?"
Ye Tian suddenly thought of something, and suddenly he was drenched in a cold sweat, you know, even if he has the heart to the Dao, he doesn't want to spend his whole life on this island! ——
