"The Karmic Fire Sutra..." Gu Xu thought silently in his heart.
When he imagined the carvings on the stone wall as a picture and the lines of burning flames, the scene of hell's karma fire naturally emerged in his mind.
Subsequently, a large amount of information poured into his mind, forming a complex and profound scripture.
"Karma Fire Sutra" is a strange name to him and has never appeared in the Taoist books he has read.
Gu Xu guessed that this may be because after the "Changshou Cult" was banned by the Daqi Dynasty as a demonic sect, all its Taoist methods and martial arts secret books were destroyed and were not allowed to be circulated in the world.
This "Karma Fire Sutra" hidden in the stone wall is most likely the technique originally practiced by the Changshou Sect.
"If I remember correctly, the Changshou Sect had a strong man at the saint level many years ago," Gu Xu thought secretly, "This means that this "Karma Fire Sutra" It should be a top-grade skill that contains the true meaning of the Great Dao.
“It is a fire-attribute skill like the "Red Flame True Technique", but its flames are much hotter, not only similar to the "Red Flame True Technique". 》It can also purify the Yin Qi and temper the true essence, and it can also strengthen the soul through repeated tempering. If I practice this technique, the power of the soul attack techniques such as 'Solar Eclipse' and 'Star Wall' that I master will be greatly enhanced.
“Especially after I advance to the fifth realm and can leave my body, its functions will be more obvious.
“Alas, it’s a pity that it is a top-grade technique... …"
Because Gu Xu is determined to become a saint, he must walk out of his own "Tao". The high-quality skills that other monks regard as treasures are, to him, shackles that hinder his progress. .
Others, especially those monks who were born in the common people and lacked cultivation resources since childhood, when they read this "Karma Fire Sutra", they may be as elated as if they discovered a treasure worth thousands of gold. .
But Gu Xu’s heart was unmoved.
After all, he had no use for the top-grade skills.
However, when he used " After reading the scriptures of the Karma Fire Sutra several times in detail in his mind, he suddenly discovered a serious problem -
The division of spiritual realms in the Karma Fire Sutra seemed to be different from other scriptures in Dahuang. The techniques are all different.
In the Dahuang orthodox practice system, the nine realms of practice are called "Guimen Pass", "Huangquan Road", "Wangxiang Terrace", "Naihe Bridge" and "Wangxiang". "Tai", "Meng Po Pavilion", "Feng Du Gate", "Yam Luo Palace", "Nine Nether Prisons" and "Dengxian Dao".
But in the "Karma Fire Sutra", the nine realms of practice are called "Peeling Pavilion", "Black Rope Hell", "Peeling Blood Pond", "Heart Punishment Prison", "Waste of Death", "Hot Hell", "Annoying Pot Hell", "Abi Hell", "Nirvana" ".
The former goes to hell first and then goes to heaven.
The latter is always in hell accepting the roasting and baptism of karmic fire, waiting to wash away its own dirt and sins After cleaning,Realize the transcendence of the soul and the immortality of the body.
And according to the description in the scriptures, in order to reach a higher state, in addition to hard work and enlightenment, something called "mindfulness" is also needed.
Gu Xu studied for a while and found that the meaning of "mind power" is actually similar to "incense" or "belief", which refers to the trust and admiration from the heart of others.
"No wonder this 'Longevity Sect' was wiped out by the Da Qi court," Gu Xu thoughtfully said, "In the Da Qi dynasty that believed in Taishang Haotian and Emperor Ziwei, practicing this kind of self The method of becoming a god can indeed be said to be contempt of God and treason."
It is naturally impossible for Gu Xu to practice such a high-grade and deviant method. After all, he is still receiving a salary from the imperial court.
It’s just that he is a little greedy for the flames in the "Karma Fire Sutra" that can temper the soul.
Ever since he had a fierce battle with the mysterious Gu Master hiding in the dark when he bought the courtyard house in Zhengpingfang, he fully realized the importance of the power of the soul.
After all, he has been targeted by the organization behind the scenes, and he will probably fight again with the Gu Master and his companions with their own special skills in the future.
Only by making your soul stronger, can you have a better chance of winning the next time you fight.
In addition, the names of the realms in the "Karma Fire Sutra" that are full of the atmosphere of the underworld, as well as the scene of the hell karma fire, made Gu Xu couldn't help but think of what he saw in front of Chiyangzi's grave at the end of last month. of horrific visions.
He always felt that this "Karma Fire Sutra" might hide more secrets.
"How about... I try to analyze the true meaning of the Great Way in the "Karma Fire Sutra", take its essence and remove its dross - retain its soul-strengthening effect, and remove its rebellious and God-defying effects. Content banned by the imperial court, and then use it to improve my "Red Flame True Technique"?"
Theoretically, "Red Flame True Technique" is considered to be of high quality among middle-grade exercises? relatively high. Using it to cultivate to the sixth level can be said to be more than enough.
But if there is an opportunity to improve the quality of his skills and improve the efficiency of his practice, Gu Xu will certainly not refuse.
Perhaps in Gu Xu's eyes, "improving skills" is just like "improving talismans", a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning.
But if outside monks knew what he was thinking at this time, they would definitely be shocked.
Because the exercises determine the trajectory of the true energy in the monk's meridians, it is the foundation for the monks to perform all spells and martial arts.
It is like the monk's "operating system". As long as there is a slight problem, it may cause the true energy to be disordered, unable to use various Tao methods normally, or even go crazy and die suddenly.
Normally, only a high-level monk who has practiced for decades and has extremely rich experience has the ability and confidence to improve or create techniques.
Gu Xu has been practicing for less than a year.When he was young, he dared to tamper with the exercises, which can be said to be daring.
He did not hesitate for long.
After making this decision, he immediately took out the paper and pen from "Xianyunju", first drew the true energy movement trajectory diagram of "Red Flame True Jue", and then referred to "Karma Fire Sutra" 》 scripture, modifying some of its details.
Soon, the white paper in front of him was filled with dense patterns and symbols.
…………
Time flies by.
About an hour later, Gu Xu finally drew a preliminary improvement plan for the "Red Flame True Art".
At this time, the orange lantern placed next to him suddenly went out and turned back into a crumpled talisman paper.
Gu Xu knew that this was because the true energy in the talisman had been exhausted, so he had to restore the prototype.
So he took out a talisman again and poured more essence into it, turning it into a brighter and longer-lasting lantern.
Then he took out an old copper coin, recited the name of God, and asked "whether there are any loopholes in the exercises I modified."
The coin lands tails up.
Gu Xu had a satisfied smile on his face.
Then he put away the pen and paper, picked up the lantern, and continued walking deeper into the cave, all the way down the steep slope.
The further you go, the higher the temperature becomes.
The sound of gurgling water became increasingly clear.
After turning a few corners, his vision suddenly became brighter.
Soon, the lava river mentioned by Luo Sishou appeared in front of him.
The hot magma continuously gushes out from the darkness and rushes along the river, like countless wild horses condensed by fire, containing majestic power.
The hot air flow filled the cave, giving Gu Xu a sauna-like feeling.
However, at this moment, he suddenly discovered that he was not the only one in the cave -
He saw a woman sitting on the magma with her eyes closed, a at every turn.
She was dressed in red, holding a sharp spear of gold and red in her arms, and her long black hair was spread behind her.
The skin is as pale as paper, and the red lips are as bright as blood.
