What is Zifu?

The place where immortals live.

In fact, the so-called opening up of the purple house is to open up a place for gods and spirits to live in their own knowledge of the sea, so that the gods and spirits who had hidden deep in the knowledge of the sea can appear and have a place to live.

For people, the spirit is the immortal God who dominates everything. The place where the spirit lives is naturally Zifu.

Those real people in the period of Yuanying can still exist in the world in the form of Yuanying after the body is damaged, which undoubtedly confirms the theory that the divine soul is the "immortal God" from the side.

If the four stages of cultivation are used to summarize, the foundation building Friar's opening up Zifu is actually a process from the stage of "Refining Essence and transforming Qi" to the stage of "refining Qi and transforming God".

Compared with the impact of friars on foundation building during the Qi training period, the opening of Zifu by friars during the foundation building period is not so dangerous, but there are many taboos, and it usually takes a long time.

The main taboos of opening up Zifu are as follows.

First, avoid being frightened.

When opening up the purple mansion, the most taboo is to be disturbed and frightened. Any external sound, abnormal aura fluctuation, or other distractions may scare the spirits and lead to the failure of opening up the purple mansion.

Therefore, when the friar opens up the purple mansion, he must lay many arrays in the cave to isolate and shield all external interference sources. Even if the outside world collapses, there will be no abnormal noise in the cave.

Second, avoid confusion.

No doubt, the original intention is to be able to distinguish clearly in case of trouble.

The spirit is the "immortal God" living in human body. It can see all invisible things, listen to all inaudible words and observe all inaudible things.

As soon as the spirit is manifest, the friar will certainly see some invisible things, hear some inaudible words, and perceive some imperceptible things.

But these invisible things, inaudible words and imperceptible things are not what the purple family friars can explore and investigate.

If you try to find out the origin of these things, you will encounter the "Tao" crisis.

What is Tao?

To incarnate Tao and completely disappear into the world is to incarnate Tao!

Therefore, when opening up the purple mansion, friars must abide by their original heart, suppress their strong thirst for knowledge and curiosity, and be as calm as water.

Third, avoid reckless action.

After the friar opens up the purple mansion, the spirit will manifest and return to the purple mansion, and the vision of "wandering in heaven and earth" will occur.

This vision of "wandering in heaven and earth" is a good thing. It is an opportunity for friars to touch the laws of heaven and earth closely.

Many purple friars took this opportunity to master the key points of magic that they could not grasp before, or suddenly have a great understanding of the key points of weapon refining, alchemy, array arrangement and so on.

In short, this vision of "wandering in heaven and earth" is an enhanced version of "Epiphany", which can enable the purple friar to understand many practice principles.

But opportunities often coexist with risks.

"Wandering in heaven and earth" can help the purple friar touch the laws of heaven and earth in advance and understand the avenue, but it will also put a great burden on the Friar's spirit.

In the face of the great benefits brought by "wandering in heaven and earth", many friars ignored their burden on the spirit and were too addicted to it, which eventually led to the collapse and dissipation of the spirit and sitting on the ground.

Therefore, after opening up Zifu successfully, friars must not act rashly. If they should break, they should not be too addicted to "wandering in heaven and earth".

These three taboos are the most taboo when opening up Zifu.

There are three difficulties in building the foundation, and there are three taboos in Zifu.

On the road of cultivating immortality, when each great realm leads to the next great realm, there are different dangers with it.

I don't know these dangers. When I experience these dangers, I can imagine how likely it is to break through safely.

So the experience of predecessors is very important, very important.

Although Zhou Yang had seen the three taboos of opening up Zifu in the classics of Kung Fu earlier, he only knew the taboos of these taboos and did not know the solution.

Now, by studying the experience of those friars in the purple mansion of the yellow sand gate, he knows that the previous friars have summarized and found some solutions.

For example, the cave used by Zhou Yang now has three different arrays inside and outside. Once all the three arrays are opened, he will completely lose contact with the outside world.

Even if there was a sudden earthquake outside, he wouldn't feel anything in the cave.

Similarly, even if the sky thunder strikes outside the cave, as long as the array is not broken, he can't hear any thunder.

This special closed cave specially prepared for the cultivation of immortals can only be prepared by a sect with a long history such as Huangsha gate.

In the second taboo, the "Requiem grass" that Zhou Yang previously thought could not be used can actually play some roles.

The most dangerous thing is the third taboo. This taboo only "Purple Heart chalcedony" can stabilize the spirit of monks, enhance the pressure resistance of the spirit of monks, and strive for more sober time for monks.

Therefore, if the "Purple Heart chalcedony" is used to assist in opening up the purple house, it will not only improve the success rate of opening up the purple house, but also gain more benefits from "wandering in heaven and earth" than not using it.

But even so, Zhou Yang did not intend to use the "Purple Heart chalcedony".

He is very confident in the strength of his divine soul. He is confident that with the strength of his divine soul, even if he does not use "Purple Heart chalcedony", the benefits will never be worse than those who use it.

Therefore, after deciding to attack Zifu, he used the Dongfu token to open all the arrays, so that the Dongfu could be completely isolated from the outside world from now on, even if it was a note or a message flying sword.

After doing this, he sat down on a millennium cold jade bed deep in the cave and officially began to try to attack the purple mansion.

The first step to impact the purple mansion is to accumulate God.

Zifu period, as the primary stage of "refining Qi and transforming God", has already involved the cultivation of God and soul. Before opening Zifu, the foundation friar needs to consume mana through special secret methods to nourish and nourish the God and soul, so as to make the sleeping and dormant God and soul active.

The time required for this step can be long or short, depending on the situation of the immortal.

Some people can finish it in a month or two, while others take as long as a year.

Zhou Yang's spirit, as he thought, was very powerful.

It took him only twenty-five days to complete the level of "Yun Shen".

After completing "Yun Shen", Zhou Yang's most intuitive feeling is that his body is empty and weak, but his spirit is vigorous and fiery, incomparably excited and active, and his thinking is divergent.

He knew that this was caused by the restlessness of nowhere to release after the spirit was awakened.

Only after opening up the purple house and letting the spirit live in the purple house will this agitation completely disappear.

At this time, he was not busy with the next step, but took out a third-order "Pigu pill" and swallowed it to make up for the consumption of his body first.

After the body was not so empty, Zhou Yang began the second step, Kaifu.

Kaifu is to open up Zifu residence.

The time-consuming of this step is also uncertain. It varies from person to person and there is no definite number.

Many immortal practitioners who failed to open up the purple mansion fell on this step.

The process of this step is not complicated, that is, the immortals mobilize their magic power to rush into the shenting cave, make a ashram in the snail shell, and build a residence that can accommodate the spirits.

This step is simple to say, but extremely difficult to do.

First of all, shenting point is the most important acupoint in the human body. It is called "upper Dantian" in practice. It is more important than "lower Dantian" of Qihai point in the lower abdomen and "middle Dantian" of Tanzhong point in the chest.

The three "elixir fields" above, in the middle and below correspond to the essence, Qi and spirit of the human body. If there is a problem in each place, it will directly ruin the path of an immortal.

Qihai cave is where the "lower elixir field" is located. When practitioners enter the Qi practice period, they want to open this cave as a place to store mana.

Tanzhong point, as the "Zhongdan field", is the place where the essence is stored. The essence and blood of immortals are stored here. If it is damaged here, the longevity of immortals will be reduced at least, or they will be killed directly.

As the "upper Dantian", shenting cave is the place where gods exist. The spirit of immortals lives here and dominates the whole body.

At ordinary times, when cultivating immortals, mana will automatically bypass shenting acupoints to avoid hurting important acupoints here.

However, when opening up Zifu, you should take the initiative to inject mana into it.

Compared with ordinary monks, Zhou Yang undoubtedly has a great advantage in this step, that is, when he was robbed by the blood ghost, the shenting acupoint was expanded by the blood ghost with mana.

At this time, he carefully mobilized a trace of mana and poured it into it. Although he was shocked step by step, he felt that it was smooth.

However, after he continuously injected a certain amount of mana, he felt that the shenting acupoint was overwhelmed, so he immediately withdrew his mana and suspended his action.

In this way, every once in a while, Zhou Yang will mobilize mana to inject into shenting acupoint to open up wasteland, and then take back mana to rest when he is tired.

After such a series of land reclamation actions that lasted nearly a month, he finally "saw" his soul.

The spirit of ordinary people is just a little firefly, which can't be seen clearly.

The spirit of a nine story monk like Zhou Yang has grown like a torch, with complete body and facial features, which is no different from a real person.

Zhou Yang's spirit is a little more special than ordinary friars. In addition to having complete facial features, his spirit also has a trace of golden fire turned into a robe and attached to it.

"Why is this fire so similar to the real fire in Qianyang? Is it that when the blood ghost took it away, the residual power of the true fire of the Qianyang was absorbed by the spirit, so there was such a layer of fire that the spirit of ordinary friars didn't have? "

Zhou Yang "looked" at the appearance of his divine soul, and his thoughts turned a hundred times. He soon thought of the reason for the particularity of his divine soul.

Of course, these are not what he should consider now. What he should do now is to build a mansion around the location of the spirit and let the spirit return to its place.

Just as he was about to do so, he met the second taboo when opening up the purple house.
