Hunting the Heavens

The Mystery of Tibetan Elephants

The Mystery of Tibetan Elephants

Dec 28, 2024

"So that's it."

Camden in the dark room breathed a sigh of relief and opened his eyes. A faint light escaped from his eyes and then disappeared quietly. Although it was fleeting, the sharp edge of less than half an inch was very significant. If Yiyi or the old dragon slayer saw it, they would be stunned, no matter how calm and steady they were on weekdays.

The Tao is born from each other, and the six qi contain the five movements.

This is the Tao that only the strong who have mastered the way of Tongtian can understand. After reaching the realm of Tongtian, they enter another level of Tao, gradually realize the five movements and six qi or the yin and yang movement, and know how to absorb the six qi between heaven and earth to practice. The light flashed in Camden's eyes just now, but it was the appearance of absorbing the six qi. Although it was only half an inch long and the essence absorbed was very little, it was shocking that the young man with no cultivation foundation could initially sense the six qi that only the high-ranking Tongtian masters could understand. If those top masters hidden in the world, or even those above us, knew about this, they would definitely be dumbfounded.
"This hidden image seems to be hidden in everyone's body, and what I do is to wake it up, not to seize it, that's all."
Camden murmured, and said another earth-shattering sentence. Fortunately, there was no Taoist master next to him, otherwise he would definitely be shocked by his insights.
Coincidentally, Camden came to this conclusion because he was born with a useless body, never practiced martial arts, and never practiced Taoism. His mind was empty and confused, like a blank sheet of paper. If a martial artist or a Taoist practitioner, even a genius, would never think of this, Yiyi didn't, and Qi Tian and Ping Tian didn't either. Because the theory of Xuandao in their hearts is deeply rooted, they only believe in hard practice and seizing the fortune of heaven and earth, and never thought that the biggest secret between heaven and earth is hidden in everyone's body. It lives with people, but it is just difficult to awaken.
In just a moment, Camden entered a mysterious state. His mind was clear and his mind could go straight into his body. This was extremely magical for him who had not practiced for half a day, but he did not realize it at this time.

Now, everything has become clear. If you study from the Taoist books, let alone Camden, even the dukes and kings who have been immersed in the mysterious Tao for dozens or hundreds of years cannot understand what the hidden image is and how it is generated. They abandon themselves and start from external objects, but they miss the point and go a long way. But Camden's sudden enlightenment made him gradually understand the secret of the hidden image from his own perspective.
"How magical! I didn't expect that there is a world hidden in my body, as vast as mountains and rivers. I have practiced breathing techniques for so many years, but why can't I feel it? Alas, I have read the body image books in the Classics Pavilion in vain. This generation of hidden image is to awaken the five groups of hidden image embryos that have long been lurking in the body, and then absorb the essence of heaven and earth, let the hidden image embryos refine and merge into hidden image." Camden smiled slightly, and his slender eyes closed again.
The long energy pulse spread from the tip of Camden's nose. After a few breaths, the long breath disappeared. Camden only felt that his eyes were bright, and the white air flow carried "himself" downstream. Occasionally, he saw countless white air running along their own trajectories, like a river turbulent and orderly.
In an instant, "Camden" came to the five groups of halos that could not be darker. The colors of the five halos were divided into five colors of blue, red, white, black and yellow, just like the person in the painting, but compared with that person, it was thousands of times dimmer and could only be barely distinguished. At this moment, another short ray of light jumped out of the painting, shot into Camden's body, and quickly flowed through the "river", and in a blink of an eye, it came to the five halos.
Camden was surprised to find that the five halos in his abdomen were very afraid of the light that was suddenly sucked in by him, as if they were facing a flood. Although the light was small, it was no less than a behemoth.
"Suck it!"
Camden shouted silently in his heart. Although he could "sense" these strange scenes in his body at this time, he could not control them at all. But he vaguely realized that the power contained in the light would be of great benefit to him. This idea was very vague, as if it was not born from the bottom of his heart, but from his body.
As if they had sensed Camden's wish, the five halos hesitated slightly. However, at the moment they hesitated, disaster struck. The light suddenly jumped into the tiny halo, not caring that it was much bigger than the other haloes combined. The five halos were squeezed by it, like bubbles, slowly expanding.
At this moment, Camden felt dizzy, and a feeling of vomiting arose in his stomach. His mind could no longer stay in his body.
There was a roar in his head, Camden trembled slightly, blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and he suddenly opened his eyes with a confused face.
"What's going on? They have clearly absorbed the light, why are they still so panicked? No, it's not them, it's me who is panicking!" The young man frowned, and a mysterious panic and oppression rose from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't know what happened at all.
At this time, the painting in the center of the secret room had returned to calm, and the figure on it had disappeared. The short silence was broken again the next moment, a sharp whistling sound came from the top of the head, and then the Classic Pavilion began to sway, like a boat in a storm, not only was Camden thrown aside, but also the books on the surrounding bookshelves fell down one after another.
"Crack, crack..."
Camden stood up with difficulty and looked up, only to see the roof gradually breaking apart, wood chips mixed with debris sliding down, and the sky appeared in front of him, but the originally blue sky had turned blood red and hideous, six blood-colored lights shot from the six directions of the sky above, and turned into six tall giants above his head, each with a different color, like gods and demons, with murderous eyes and dead eyes looking straight at him.
When the Zangxiang is born, it must be accompanied by the gods and demons, because the birth of the Zangxiang is against the will of heaven. This god and demon is transformed by the six qi of Tianye, and the newly born Zangxiang is the most delicious food for them. What they do is to destroy the monks' Zangxiang and devour the Zangxiang chicks.
The six demon gods only glanced at him, and Camden took a step back suddenly. His whole body trembled violently, and his abdomen seemed to be pressed by a huge rock and he couldn't breathe.

"The six demon gods in the records of the Classics Pavilion? I didn't know what they were before. It turns out that they are the heavenly calamity when the Zangxiang was born. It seems that this is the fate of life and death that the teachers said. It is indeed... there is only a dead machine."

Camden wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, suppressed the panic in his heart, and stared at the six demon gods.

"Don't you realize it yet? You live and die with me. I have the great way, and I will be honored with everything!"

Camden growled in a deep voice, his mind dived into his body, and stood in front of the five timid Zangxiang chicks.
"Now that I have just realized the great Dao, I have been robbed by the heaven, but you are not making progress and are afraid of the six spirits and demons. You are not tolerated by heaven, so you can only rise up and live against heaven, just like me."

"In my life, all I hope for is to help my father, save my mother, kill Emperor Yu, destroy the Yu Dynasty, and cultivate the great Dao to step on the Heavenly Palace. You are born for my destiny, so why don't you help me hunt for that destiny together!"

At the beginning of human beings, there were no words, but this language is the most spiritual. At this time, Camden's words all carried his seven years of hard work and ambitions, and there was a hint of deterrence.

As soon as the voice fell, Camden suddenly heard a roar from his body, as if it was a response. It was the mark of the five halos in his body that quickly floated in front of his eyes at this moment, as if they were surrendered and returned to Camden's mind. They actually symmetrically matched the five internal organs in the body, and Camden gradually sensed their connection with the river-like existence in the body, as if they were inseparable from flesh and blood.
"You are the young children of the hidden elephant. It seems that as long as you are awakened, you will gradually recognize me."
Facing the oppression of the six demon gods, perhaps due to the awakening of the original body, the five groups of hidden elephants finally let go of their reserve and began to merge with Camden.
"You are hiding in my body. I have been quietly paying attention to me for the past seventeen years, but you usually endure and don't want to serve me. Now that the most critical moment has come, you finally think of surrendering to me?" Camden looked coldly at the six demon gods in the sky, and his mind gradually calmed down.
At this time, he had already realized in his heart. He vaguely understood the mystery of the human body, and the mysterious Tao seemed to be vaguely visible.
The 17-year-old boy showed a carefree smile, as if he understood something, and seemed to be relieved. He waved his hand and tore open the white robe and shouted to the six-sided demon, "It is enough to hear the truth in the morning and die in the evening, but I can't die! Twelve years ago, I survived and came to Yunzhou, thousands of miles away, step by step. Seven years ago, I also survived and came to this Tianji Daofu. But I haven't lived enough, I still have a long way to go, how can I die in the hands of you unconscious heaven and earth?"

Twelve years ago, when Camden was five years old, a rebellion broke out in the capital, and the Zhou family of the Jiangfu was implicated and exiled to Yanzhou in the south. At that time, Camden was still called Luo Jijun, but the Luo family was afraid of being implicated, so they drove Camden out of the house and wanted to remarry Luo Qingyou, Camden's mother. Luo Qingyou went on a hunger strike to resist, and took the opportunity to escape from the Luo family and went to Baiyi Temple to become a monk.
Half a month later, when Luo Qingyou went through great pains to find Camden who was stranded on Yuzhuo Street, the five-year-old child was squatting outside a rich man's window in torn pants, wolfing down the leftovers that were thrown out by others. When he heard the footsteps of others, he suddenly turned back, his tired eyes full of vigilance and panic.

In the past half month, countless dignitaries have passed by Yuzhuo Street. Among them, there are people who are good friends with Zhou Mansion or Luo Mansion, and even Camden's parents' so-called close friends. Those who dared to secretly throw a piece of pancake or give some clean water to Camden can be counted on one hand.

When Luo Qingyou cried and hugged Camden in his arms, the child, whose face was so swollen that he looked unrecognizable, quickly hid the clean chicken behind his back, and then nervously looked at the woman who hugged him.

After a long while, he asked cautiously, is it mother?
The noblewoman in light silk and satin held the trembling little beggar tightly in her arms. The tears in her eyes had long dried up, and she could only nod and sob. The surrounding horses and carriages passed by, with the style and taste of Kyoto nobles in the splendor. Those celebrities glanced at the downtrodden mother and son, with only disdainful sneers and gloating in their eyes. Instead, a long sigh came from the window of the rich family, and then the window frame was quietly closed.

Two days later, Emperor Yuxian personally issued an imperial decree, conferring Luo Qingyou as the third master of Baiyi Temple, giving him the title of Wuqing Daozhu, and ordered Camden to be taken to Guijuyuan to be disciplined by the coach there. At this juncture, Camden's father's brother Gudao Feiren arrived. With the strength of Wuhou Tianpin, he drove away the royal guards who were dragging Camden, and persuaded Luo Qingyou to take Camden with him to rescue his father.
Luo Qingyou also knew that Camden had no choice but to die in this dangerous place. Although Emperor Yuxian called himself a wise emperor, he was a character who wanted to wipe out the roots. Therefore, the unfortunate mother and son only got together for two days and had to separate again. Before leaving, under the desolate old tree of Baiyi Temple, Camden did not cry, but just held his mother's hand tightly, raised his head, and said in a hoarse and firm voice: "Mom, Jun'er will come back to save you."

...

Five years old is an ignorant age. The memories of that year are like the feathers of dandelions, which will be blown away by the wind and disappear. But if you have experienced too many ups and downs and separations, the stories of childhood will become an iron thorn, inserted into the bottom of your heart. Not only will it not disappear, but it will become more painful and deeper with just a slight touch.
Camden, who was in the secret room, stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the twisting demons. His eyes shot through the false sky and fell directly to the vast and real sky outside Yashan. Chen Xi's many years of experience in the trajectory of the sun, moon and stars were all in his sight, including the momentum and weather of the six demons.

"It turned out that the six demons were formed by the advent of the main qi... the qi of Jueyin wind wood, the qi of Shaoyin monarch fire, the qi of Shaoyang phase fire, the qi of Taiyin wet earth, the qi of Yangming dry gold, and the qi of Taiyang cold water. The wisp of essence just absorbed seems to be the qi of Shaoyin monarch fire. It's just a small amount. There's no need to make such a big show to deal with me, right? Six stingy ghosts... But the hidden elephants, well, the five hidden elephant chicks seem to be very good at absorbing the essence of the sky, so just absorb more." Camden smiled slightly, as if he had discovered something very interesting, and the panic in his heart gradually disappeared.
