Chapter 54 Unaware of the Five Thieves Who Observed the Heavenly Brightness, They Dared to Teach Six
However, Chen Chunan knew that anger and poison had entered his mind, triggering the calamity.
This caused the restless soul, who was one with him from thousands of miles away, great distress.
This was because the aura of calamity had enveloped even Him.
Seeing that Chen Chunan had been bewitched by the five thieves, he couldn't help but start cursing.
"How foolish, how foolish! You recite the 'Awakening to Truth' before me every day, yet you yourself are blind to the truth! Revenge is necessary, but how can you be misled by the Five Thieves? You've only just planted the yellow sprout, and instead of observing the Five Thieves of Tianming accumulating merit and virtue, you let the thieves of the liver and lungs enter your brain and stir up nameless fire! Now the calamity energy is communicating with the calamity energy of this world, don't you know that great disaster is about to befall you!"
The Mind Monkey and Chen Chunan are one body with two minds, so Chen Chunan can naturally know what it is thinking.
Moreover, the restless mind was intentionally giving this reminder.
What are the Five Thieves?
The five thieves are joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, and worry. These five arise from the heart, but end up in the five internal organs, forming the five elements and five energies of the acquired constitution.
To achieve the Golden Elixir Path by gathering and applying the Five Elements, one must accumulate merit and virtue, and eliminate the Five Thieves to transform them into the Five Virtues.
Therefore, the *Yin Fu Jing* says: "Observe the Way of Heaven, uphold the actions of Heaven, and you will have achieved everything. Heaven has five thieves; those who see them will prosper. The five thieves reside in the heart and are manifested in Heaven."
How can Chen Chunan, driven by murderous intent, be considered to be acting in accordance with the will of Heaven?
It was merely a result of momentary emotions (liver fire, lung grief).
Chen Chunan, who was controlling the sword light, gave a wry smile.
Having previously understood the true Dharma, how could he not know the harm caused by the Five Thieves?
Lü Zu said: People all say that I take people's heads with my flying sword, but I laugh at that. I actually have three swords: one to cut off afflictions, two to cut off anger, and three to cut off lust.
The purpose of the Journey to the West has already been explained in the previous chapters.
This is because there is much greed and killing in the East.
But now, our clansmen have died tragically, and our enemies have not yet been defeated.
If one does not seek revenge, how can one have the mind to accumulate merit and virtue?
If cultivating immortality turns you into stone or wood, what's the point of cultivating immortality?
Upon hearing Chen Chunan's thoughts, Xin Yuan remained silent for a moment.
"You previously cultivated a false core, which strengthened the mortal dragon and mortal tiger. When the external demons invaded, you were harmed by the mortal dragon and mortal tiger, which damaged your true nature. Now, if you continue to indulge in this, the six desires will rise again, and your foundation will be shaken. It will not be easy to recover. It is better to put it aside for now and deal with it later."
Chen Chunan remained silent. Now that his divine sense was powerful, introspection was a matter of a single thought.
I know that my lung qi is rising due to grief, and my liver qi is rising due to anger.
The two thieves, working together, actually intended to replace Huangya Zhendan.
Chen Chunan's expression was resolute: "Today, by annihilating the entire Liu family, I will restore their innate virtue and eliminate these two traitors!"
The Monkey King's expression was one of utter disappointment: "Those who harbor illusions will surely suffer! You are truly a vile fool! Little did you know that your calamity was so strangely instigated; it's not too late to back down now!"
Chen Chunan ignored him, only wanting to settle the two women, resolve the enmity, and clear his mind.
As Chen Chunan swept the two women away through the air, they were spotted by the mysterious group of cultivators who happened to be heading to the Liu clan.
"Huh? Such a fast sword light! Who is this? Do you know?"
The cultivator riding in the palanquin, seeing Chen Chunan's rapid sword light, became curious and looked towards Liu Ruyan.
When Liu Ruyan saw the flash of sword light, she knew it must be Chen Chunan.
However, she still doesn't understand why Chen Chunan, who was confirmed to have five spiritual roots, has become so powerful.
Even his fourth uncle, Liu Qingfeng, couldn't block a single sword strike from him.
Seeing that she was quite interested in this mysterious cultivator, she didn't show it on her face, but in reality, she was already planning to use someone else to do her dirty work.
Liu Ruyan feigned fear and knelt on the ground: "Reporting to the True Immortal, that person is my enemy, named Chen Chunan, a member of the Chen family, a Qi-refining clan of Tianmu Mountain. He originally possessed five spiritual roots, but for some reason, he had the ability to establish his foundation at the young age of 16. My fourth uncle was killed in one blow at the second level of his foundation. I only managed to escape by using a minor teleportation talisman, and I was fortunate to meet the True Immortal, which saved my life."
The monk was furious upon hearing this. Although he intended to shield her from disaster and reward her for guiding the way, he was not about to be used as a pawn.
He immediately sneered, "Ha! Thinking yourself clever? You deserve a beating!"
One of the female cultivators serving on either side immediately stepped forward, and a divine whip appeared in her hand.
Liu Ruyan was terrified, knowing that her little trick had been seen through.
He immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy, pleading repeatedly: "Please spare my life, please spare my life!"
The female cultivator's gaze was cold: "When did my master ever say he wanted to take your life? You deserve to be beaten! You deserve to be beaten!"
As he spoke, he wielded the whip with lightning speed, tearing Liu Ruyan's robes to shreds and leaving them stained with blood, before stopping just before she was on her last breath.
Liu Ruyan was filled with hatred after suffering such a great calamity, but she dared not show it in the slightest. She just lay on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.
The real person looked thoughtfully at the direction Chen Chunan had indicated.
Chen Chunan was so enraged that he was filled with grief and anger, and the dragon and tiger were causing trouble. In his confusion, he failed to notice the group of people.
After settling the two women, he mounted his sword, only to be blocked by a young Taoist boy.
"Fellow Daoist, please wait!"
Chen Chunan's scalp tingled instantly, as if he had heard something terrifying. He turned his sword and ran away without looking back.
Only the bewildered young Taoist was left behind.
"Are all the local monks this rude? I just wanted to ask for directions."
The young Taoist priest looked in the direction Chen Chunan had run off in, hesitated for a moment, and then made up his mind again.
He summoned a jade slip, which also transformed into a streak of light and chased after him.
Chen Chunan, who was on the run, heard the sound of something cutting through the air, and his anger flared up again.
He suddenly turned around to look at the person who had chased after him.
When the young Taoist priest saw Chen Chunan suddenly stop, he hurriedly controlled his escape light and stopped in front of Chen Chunan.
"Oh dear, why did you suddenly stop?"
Chen Chunan sensed this person's aura, but found that he couldn't see through it at all.
Unsure of this person's capabilities, Chen Chunan instantly became wary.
He narrowed his eyes slightly: "Fellow Daoist, what business do you have blocking my way?"
The young Taoist priest hurriedly said, "Brother, please don't be offended. I've come to ask for directions. May I ask where the dragon's roar occurred more than a month ago?"
A dragon's roar?!
Chen Chunan's pupils suddenly contracted.
Could it be the one I caused back then? But didn't Red Thread say he couldn't hear me?
"I have never heard of a dragon's roar. If a real dragon had appeared in the world, rumors would have spread throughout Lingzhou long ago."
The young Taoist priest found this to be very reasonable.
He had asked several people before, but none of them had heard of the Dragon's Roar. Lingzhou was also quite peaceful, with no rumors circulating.
This is no different from what Chen Chunan said.
The young Taoist priest couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Could it be that Master misheard? No, no, Master is a Nascent Soul cultivator, he couldn't possibly have misheard."
As Chen Chunan listened to the young Taoist boy muttering to himself, a storm raged in his heart.
A disciple of a Nascent Soul cultivator?
My words really came true!
This true dragon has indeed attracted the attention of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
He thought that only he could hear the dragon's roar, but he never expected that it would be completely exposed in front of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
After muttering to himself, the young Taoist boy bowed again and asked, "This place is called Fallen Dragon Ridge. Have you ever seen any trace of a real dragon?"
"There are only legends of gods slaying dragons here, but there is no trace of real dragons."
As Chen Chunan spoke, a thought struck him, recalling the fleeting glimpse he had of the Yin Spirit during its travels at Lingyuan Lake.
"Could that thing be a real dragon?"
