Chapter 74: Group worship (Today is my grandfather’s birthday, please give me blessings from readers!)
The five elements refer to the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the five qi refer to the heart, liver, kidneys, lungs, The spleen is the qi of the five internal organs.
Taoist practice pays attention to the five qi heading towards the Yuan, which is the "Baihui Point" on the top of the head, which is the Niwan Palace in the Taoist book and where the Tianmen is.
The five qi Chao Yuan means that the qi in the internal organs of the human body return to their original positions, full of harmony and balance without suffocation.
The Five Palaces Forging Yuan Jue gathered the efforts of countless qi practitioners and alchemists to create it to accommodate the movement of the five elements, so it is called: "The five qi are like wheels, which can create and destroy all laws in the world."
When the five elements of Qi in the body of the Taoist on the Dharma Platform reach a perfect balance, his own magic power will be perfectly integrated with the external Red Lord's divine power.
Suddenly, the huge image of the god standing in the Chixin Temple shone brightly, held up the divine mace, and let out a silent roar.
In Chixin Temple, in Shiyuan County, the people in thousands of households cannot hear this sound. The loud sound is just accompanied by the spread of red light, and evil spirits, yin energy, filth, etc. are absorbed. Clean and expel.
They only feel more at ease when sleeping and feel more energetic when they wake up the next day.
But in the Tongxuan world, this is different.
The countless Gu insects and Yin spirits that were active and entrenched in this area began to move away instinctively.
There are also many monks who have gathered nearby due to the outbreak of beast tide recently. The monks who have not condensed their spiritual consciousness below the foundation level, or who have not practiced the five senses skills in the Qi training realm, are completely unaware of it.
But the monks in the foundation-building realm, and even some monks who practice induction techniques, are all sensing at this moment, staring in that direction in horror.
The mighty and tyrannical coercion comes from afar and oppresses one's own soul, and the divine power shines forth, causing the group to ward off evil spirits.
“I didn’t expect that in this land on the border of the Tang Dynasty, there would be such a monastery and such a spiritual practice! It seems that I will have to pay a visit in a few days.”
On the hillside, a tall and thin old Taoist with a goatee was originally practicing with his eyes closed and facing the moon. At this time, he sensed the changes in the powerful magic power in Chixin Temple. He couldn't help but watch attentively. After a while, he sighed softly.
Thousands of miles away, there is a cave where spiritual intelligence overflows.
The red mana ripples spread and swept across, causing a woman wearing a white fox fur veil to fly out of the cave. She was wearing very little, and her snow-white skin was looming.
The peach blossom-like eyes seemed to be silently affectionate to everyone, but at this moment, when looking at the scene in the distance with a sincere heart, there was also a look of concentration on his face.
“Mother, what’s wrong?”
At this time, a girl in a green skirt ran out from behind and asked doubtfully.
"There seems to be a true cultivator born in that direction."
The beast tide broke out in the south, and many casual cultivators who originally lived near the Evernight City and in the mountains had to retreat to the Tang Dynasty border mansion . So as not to get involved and end up dead.
There are even many immortal-cultivating families and foundation-building monks among them.
But losing the original land and family property, and leaving the vicinity of the Evernight City, it was impossible to make a living in order to earn training resources, so many fights naturally arose from this.
Even though the beast tide in the south seems to have ended, there are still many monsters wandering in the wild. These monsters are more dangerous to weaker families and casual cultivators.
Therefore, seeing that the originally barren Shiyuan County is becoming more and more prosperous and prosperous, many monks naturally want to settle down here again and no longer suffer from the beast tide.
There are even evil ghost cultivators wandering nearby, looking for opportunities.
In the Chixin Temple, the five-color brilliance of green, red, white, yellow, and black on the Taoist flags surrounding the five formations flows and changes, gradually turning into a ball of light, converging in the center.
As the re-established magic circulation in his body gradually stabilized, Lu Cheng, who was covered in blood and sweat, flicked his fingers, and magic fire surged out of his body, burning away the filth.
Whoosh, whoosh.
As the Taoist spells in his hands changed, and then he pressed slightly to return the magic power to the sea of qi, Lu Cheng gently exhaled.
Because of the perfect combination of the natal magical power "Qi Hai" in the Qi training realm and the five elements of magic power foundation building, Lu Cheng's magic power is unparalleled at this time, faintly surpassing the Heavenly Dao foundation building monks.
In addition, the magic power of the five internal organs circulates in the body, cleanses the meridians, strengthens the bone marrow, and changes the muscles and bones. This is also something that the Five Elements Divine Sword Tiandao Foundation Building cannot do.
The Five Elements Sword Qi is powerful and unpredictable, but in terms of its powerful accumulation and continuous tempering of the physical body, it is not as good as the Great Five Elements Earth Ultimate True Fire Foundation.
For the vast majority of monks, the muscle-changing marrow cleansing that comes with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment itself is enough, and the power of the Five Elements Sword Qi far outweighs the slight advantages of accumulating strength and tempering the physical body.
But for myself, this is not the case.
Lu Cheng recited the mantra in his mind silently several times, but he did not expect that it was surprisingly easy. The five elements of mana in his body naturally surged through the key points, carrying his consciousness with him in a mighty way. Between heaven and earth.
Lu Cheng felt a vague connection with everything within a radius of dozens of miles. This was the spiritual consciousness of the Foundation Establishment monks, which far exceeded the Dharma consciousness he had condensed before.
Suddenly, the whole world suddenly became clear in the Taoist's heart. At this moment, even if he closed his eyes and stopped looking, he could still feel the Chixin Temple, the mountains and forests, the towering ancient trees, and all things with the spread of his spiritual consciousness. Xiangrong, feel the vitality of the whole world.
"Get out of the sheath!"
After Lu Cheng let out a light scold, the five elements of mana in his body quickly flowed throughout his body like the Yangtze River. Divine consciousness and magic power are blended together, and then poured into the Pure Jun Feijian.
The pure sword light jumped out loudly. This sword light was straight and steady as a rock.
With a thought, this sword light suddenly undergoes infinite changes. It is obviously just a change of sword light, but the artistic conception it brings to people is like the earth cracking, a volcano erupting, red rocks emptying, and destroying all things.
Immediately after the sword intention changed, when the red rock emptied out and fell, it suddenly turned into gentle breeze and drizzle, soft and continuous, but the drizzle was poisonous. After falling to the ground, it poisoned the earth, cultivated highly toxic plants, and destroyed all things.
The light of the sword circled and struck, with a mixture of hardness and softness. It used the magic power of the five elements to stimulate the natural practice of various rare and exquisite swordsmanship skills of the five elements. The magic power attached to the sword light also changed from green, red, white, yellow and black, which was sharp and sharp. No couple.
“It is obvious that the Five Elements Sword Qi can be evolved by relying on the Five Elements magic power? Why is it recorded in the Taoist classics that the Five Elements Divine Sword is the foundation of the Heavenly Dao, and the Great Five Elements Earth Ultimate True Fire Foundation is the foundation of the Earthly Dao? The Five Fu Zhenqi It can change the monk's physical constitution, and in the long run the two will gain The benefits should be similar. "
Lu Cheng respects the Taoist predecessors in this world very much. When he reads the Taoist collection, even if he has doubts, he will secretly note it down and never think about it because he is the reincarnation. People think that they are superior to the hundreds of thousands of years of accumulation of these predecessors.
This habit indeed helped him avoid many hidden dangers in practice. From this perspective, Taoist practice:
The four branches of morality, theory, precepts, and practice, Lu Cheng I should belong to the precepts sect. Regardless of whether I understand the rules set by the predecessors, I usually abide by them first and then understand them later.
But at this moment, Lu Cheng was overwhelmed. He also knew that he was superb in killing skills and excellent in swordsmanship, but he felt that since he had cultivated the Five Elements Magic Power and could easily master the Five Elements Sword Qi, others had the qualifications. Worse, Heng could have practiced it even after hundreds of years - but he had never thought about it at this moment. Let alone others, whether Heng could develop this Five Elements Sword Qi after hundreds of years of practice, he just practiced it and was so immersed in swordsmanship. The road will be destroyed.
For those who live forever, swordsmanship is only a way to protect the Tao. Being able to do it in one step and save hundreds of years of hard work is of course the foundation of the Tao of Heaven.
“The Ranmushanlin family’s ancestral exercises were completely misguided by them. Since childhood, they have mainly practiced Taoist and Buddhist orthodox exercises, and also practiced the great method of seizing heaven and transforming spirits, and then completed the fifth level when building the foundation. Qi Establishment Foundation, only in this way can we hope to complete the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment. If we continue to practice according to their current system, After practicing for 10,000 years, it can only be earth-based foundation building. ”
Tunda-based foundation building can also obtain high-grade golden elixirs, but it is much more difficult than heaven-based foundation building. A monk builds heaven-based foundation and condenses it. It is not easy for the most powerful Sha Tiangang mana to finally cultivate a high-grade golden elixir, let alone surpass it later.
After reading many Taoist books, Lu Cheng thought carefully about pursuing the path of "five qi toward the yuan". The previous qi practitioners did not make a mistake in this step.
In addition, he realized that he could display the Five Elements Sword Qi through swordsmanship, so he chose the Great Five Elements Earth Ultimate True Fire to build the foundation.
Under normal circumstances, a monk with a deep foundation can condense one natal magical power for each major realm. Lu Cheng chose the five elements, earth and true fire magical power, and gave up the five elements that can be condensed with his own swordsmanship. Sword energy and magical power.
In this way, he has both the Great Five Elements Earth Ultimate True Fire and the Five Elements Sword Qi.
That night, after the five qi and the red light soared into the sky, just as Lu Cheng said before, no one came to bother the surrounding monks after a few months.
The news that the master of Chixin Temple has returned naturally spread like wildfire among the casual cultivators.
It also includes his past achievements:
Ten Miles Slope, he killed more than a dozen monks in a row with a single sword, and came back victorious. This kind of cultivation is enough to intimidate many low-level monks.
Therefore, many monks were waiting for the local temple master to stand up and set a charter for everyone, but it did not happen. The Chixin temple master practiced Qi and swordsmanship in seclusion behind closed doors.
Lu Cheng has accumulated a lot of savings. After breaking through the bottleneck of cultivation, his magic sword skills are increasing day by day. Coupled with the lingering memory of his previous ascetic enlightenment, Lu Cheng simply chooses to cultivate quietly in the temple. Others don't care. Come and bother him, and he won't care about the life and death of others.
After half a year, even with the meditation skills of immortal cultivators, some people gradually became unable to sit still and came to the door to seek and pay homage.
"The poor Taoist Jiu Ning Cave Xuanyin brought a few bottles of water and wine and a few spiritual fish to visit the Master of Chixin Temple."
A goat-bearded old Taoist in blue brought three fellow Taoists behind him Friends, come to visit together and said this to the two Taoist boys guarding the door.
After Lu Cheng returned, he ignored the outside affairs, but he still took care of the affairs inside the Taoist temple. Since his return, the village heroes have basically gone back to their respective homes.
The Taoist school was re-established, and it still continued to practice non-restricted cultivation. It hired teachers and female crowns to teach children with superior qualifications free of charge to read, digit, and recite Taoist scriptures.
Even the gatekeepers are older Taoist boys, but it is this kind of confidence that frightens many Sanren who are interested in observing Chixin Temple.
At this time, Xuanyin, the old Taoist in blue, was speaking and releasing a little pressure of divine consciousness. An ordinary Taoist boy would definitely be frightened.
But the two Taoist boys who watched the door with sincerity took the gifts with calm expressions, and then invited all the Taoists to sit in the vestibule while the other one went to deliver the greeting cards.
None of the two Taoist boys looked uncomfortable or frightened.
Seeing this, Xuanyin glanced at the three fellow Taoists beside him, and knew clearly in his heart that this must be because there are foundation-building monks living in the Taoist temple for a long time, so that these Taoist boys are also influenced by it and are not afraid of pressure.
"Four Taoist priests, please come in. The master of my temple invites you." After a while, the Taoist boy who sent in the invitation came out with a calm demeanor and a straight back.
"Haha, thank you, little friend."
Four Taoist priests, led by a Taoist boy, went deep into the temple.
The more they walked, the expressions of Xuanyin, Chiming, Qingyang, and Bishui changed. Just because the more they walked, the four of them felt that the spiritual energy of the world was full and rich, and the more powerful it was. It is completely contained within the temple and cannot be felt outside at all.
“There should be a powerful restraining formation, but to reach this level of aura, I am afraid that many spiritual beings will have to be pressed into various formations to block it!”
"Yeah, I don't know what the spiritual objects in the closed town are. If they are magic weapons, that's a lot of money!"
The four Taoist priests communicate with each other through spiritual consciousness, so they don't worry about being overheard by others.
While walking through a courtyard, Taoist Priest Chi Ming saw a Taoist scroll enshrined in a room in the middle courtyard.
The Taoist in the scroll is short, with white hair and white eyebrows. He sits high on a stone. Even if he is wearing a Taoist robe, he does not look majestic. Instead, he looks ridiculous.
But at this time, he was enshrined in the solemn Taoist etiquette and incense, and he also had his own rules.
"It should be the mentor of Master Chixin Temple."
Taoist Chiming didn't know who this person was, so he asked the Taoist boy:
"As a monk in Southern Xinjiang, It’s okay to worship the local gods in the front hall, why not worship the Yinshan Patriarch in the middle hall?”
In the Tongxuan world of southern Xinjiang, the Yinshan Patriarch has a high status.
“The disciples of Patriarch Yinshan are good friends of my family’s temple master. Even Patriarch Yinshan is also the junior of my family’s ancestor, so I cannot worship him.”
The Taoist boy responded calmly, but the four foundation-building monks were so shocked that their faces changed slightly and they looked at each other:
Who is this Chixin Temple master, and why does he have such a loud tone?
Not long after, the Taoist boy led the four Taoist priests to the place. After saluting, he said:
"The four Taoist priests happened to be giving a lecture today, and it will be over soon. , the four of you can listen, the juniors are still I have to guard the gate, so I can’t accompany you any longer.”
After the Taoist boy left, the four Taoist priests looked at each other and wanted to know what the mysterious Chixin Guanzhu was talking about. Any profound Taoist teachings, naturally listen attentively.
"... Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the war between our Chiyang Realm and the Qingming Realm caused almost all living creatures in the two worlds to perish and fall into destruction. However, the powerful force also broke the membrane between the two realms and returned the world to chaos. state, tens of thousands of years later, when chaos opens again, the pure air between heaven and earth rises and the turbid air descends, and the innate air resides in it, so that all living things can practice Taoism."
"You little devils, catch up. This thousand There is a good time that comes only once in a lifetime, when almost everyone can practice Taoism and embark on the path to immortality. If the world is becoming increasingly perfect or even exhausted, then if you want to practice Taoism at that time, you will have to look at the so-called spiritual root qualifications. Now, even if you don’t have a heavenly support, it will be extremely difficult to have a body like yours, so you must cherish this fate.”
Lu Cheng only preached once a month. Adjust your mood. Today, he told the allusions he knew from the notes in the Heavenly Book.
But looking at the little guys below, they were already drowsy after listening to themselves talking about ancient times. They couldn't help but shake their heads and chuckle, and then reached out and tapped the bronze bell beside them, making a clear sound.
“Forget it, forget it, it’s hard to persuade the damn ghosts, you little devils, go and eat.”
"Let's eat!"
"Ah, let's eat!"
Chixin Guan has a rich diet. As soon as he heard about eating, the little devils around him ran away laughing, their eyes bright and each one happier than the other. .
Then, Lu Cheng met with the four visiting Taoists.
“The poor Taoist Jiu Ningdong Xuanyin brought several friends with him to pay homage to the temple master.”
When Xuanyin, Chiming, Qingyang, and Bishui saw Lu Cheng, although they did not dare to use their own spiritual consciousness to investigate, they still vaguely felt that the young Taoist in front of them had powerful and unfathomable magical power.
The four people's expressions naturally became more solemn and polite, but they were still within each other's formation.
"Guanzhu, would you like to invite the four Taoist priests to have a banquet with you?"
He Lan came to salute and ask in a cloth robe. She was afraid that others would be careless and not take good care of the Guanzhu, so she He resigned as the officiant and became more of a housekeeper in Lu Cheng.
It’s just that there are no other outstanding figures in Chixin Temple at the moment, so He Lan is actually doing the job of officiating. She works very hard to do both well. Even if Lu Cheng tried to persuade her, it would be useless.
"Then please invite four Taoist friends to have a banquet together."
"It is better to obey orders than to be respectful."
Soon a Taoist temple servant came over and set up tables and chairs in the courtyard, and each of the five people Take a seat.
It is said to be a banquet, but the food is very simple: each person has two bowls of white rice, two lake fish, and cut fruits and vegetables.
At this time, the children were also serving dinner. Even sitting here, Xuanyin and others could smell the rich aroma of meat. They never expected that this was what they would see in front of them.
Seeing that the food was simple, the Chixin Temple Master also seemed a little embarrassed:
"I think it's a little dull, so why bother? Go and bring the spiritual wine that the four Taoist priests sent before for the banquet. "
Xuanyin, Chiming, Qingyang, and Bishui didn't expect to come to Chixin Temple to visit and drink their own drinks, so they couldn't help but smile at each other.
Priest Xuanyin has some palaces and secretly signaled to be calm and calm.
After the host Lu Cheng moved his chopsticks, the four of them began to taste the food.
However, as soon as a chopstick of white rice enters the mouth, a strong sweetness spreads from the mouth, followed by waves of spiritual energy entering the body - spiritual rice! ?
Xuan Yin's expression changed, and he turned his head suddenly, and found that his three fellow Taoists had the same expression as himself, and then they went to grab other food: spiritual rice, spiritual fish, spiritual fruit, and even cabbage. It is an ingredient rich in spiritual energy raised in spiritual fields.
Eating it for many years nourishes blood and qi, and is beneficial to spiritual practice.
"But, why was there no aroma at all when it was served?" Xuanyin thought in his heart, feeling that the performance of the four of them just now was really embarrassing.
"Guanshi He, your cooking skills are getting better and better. You can seal the aroma of food inside and make the taste more abundant."
Lu Cheng admired while eating these spiritual foods.
“The spiritual food classics brought back by the temple master are all useful, and I have only learned one-tenth of them.” He Lan bowed and saluted.
"This is the magical art of spiritual food among the hundred arts of cultivating immortals! I only tasted it once in the city that never sleeps, and it was not as sweet as it is today."
Bishui seemed to want to save some face, It's just that his memorable appearance at this time really made the other three people feel that there was nothing they could do to redeem themselves.
"The art of practicing spiritual food cannot be mastered in just a few times. Who cares which gym it comes from?" Taoist Qingyang asked, as if he also wanted to invite a spiritual food master to his cave. .
"I actually wasted a lot of materials practicing this technique, but there are twenty-five acres of spiritual fields, ponds, and fruit trees in the temple. In addition, if you don't do it well, you can mix it with the Taoist boys. It is the same as spiritual food to nourish the body. The more you practice, the more you will do it.”
He Lan indicated with his eyes. After getting Lu Cheng’s permission, he told the truth, but the expressions of the four Taoists changed.
"Senior Brother Xuanyin, this place is not a spiritual place, is it? How many spiritual stones does it cost every year to maintain these spiritual fields?"
"It seems that the Master of Chixin Temple is really... Wealth and power are great. This Taoist temple is so rich in land and materials. I don’t know if the temple master can keep it. "Keep it!"
"Qingyang, please be patient. I don't know why, but when I saw this Taoist, my spirit-seeking rat was so frightened that it retracted into its sleeves. I still can't call it out." , the last time I met the third-level green python, it had never been so scared.”
The four Taoist priests Xuanyin, Chiming, Qingyang, and Bishui communicate with each other through their spiritual consciousness. Unless their spiritual consciousness cultivation is much higher than theirs, even if they can hear their conversation, they will be noticed by the four of them.
What's more, at this moment, the leader of the Chixin Temple is chatting and laughing with the Xuanyin people, and his expression is calm, and it really doesn't look like he is concentrating his mind.
In the afternoon, Lu Cheng took these four Taoist friends to visit the Taoist temple. In order to stimulate the economy of Shiyuan County, the Chixin Temple was built in a way that was too big. Taoist Master Zhu Ji watched the farmers filling the fields with spiritual stones, turning the ordinary fertile fields into spiritual fields, and the flesh on his face twitched with distress.
But in fact, the consumption is not as big as they imagined. Although Chixin Temple does not have spiritual veins, Lin Tianshu's collection does have the Five Elements Formation Flag that he refined himself, and he set up this formation to collect and sort out the world. Lingji, the income from these spiritual fields, ponds, and orchards is slightly higher than the expenditure. After all, labor does not cost spiritual stones. In the future, if you find an array master to establish spiritual veins, your income will increase.
In one day, it seemed that the host and the guest were enjoying themselves.
After Xuanyin, Chiming, Qingyang, and Bishui left, the steward He Lan, who had been trained over the years, came to Lu Cheng's side, poured tea for him, and said softly:
"Guan Lord, the four of them seem to have bad intentions.”
However, upon hearing this, the young Taoist smiled slightly and answered warmly after drinking the tea. Said:
"That's really a good thing. Friends come to your door with fine wine, and evil guests come with swords and guns. Those spiritual trees in the orchard should have been fertilized a long time ago."
Some time ago, Lu After all, Cheng couldn't resist the temptation and read several articles of "Blood Nerve". As long as he is a seeker or cultivator, who can clearly cherish the supreme secret and not read it?
It’s just that Blood Nerve is full of rebellious and crazy words. Even if he had all kinds of wariness in his heart, after just flipping through two pages, Lu Cheng had to admit that he was affected by it. At that time, his mind was filled with this peerless magic formula. Even if it was I would also read the scriptures in it when I dreamed, but forgot everything else.
Fortunately, after all, it was only two pages of fragments. Although Lin Tianshu was fascinated by it and fell into a demonic barrier, Lu Cheng Dao foundation was deep and he was in the Temple of the Red Heart God. After a period of pure heart killing, , finally suppressed all the longings in his heart for the time being, and determined that he would never read the contents of other blood god fragments before his Taoist heart has improved.
"If I can practice my own Taoism and suppress the contents of various scriptures in the Blood God Fragment Chapter, in this way, it is also a method of improvement."
Lu Cheng also had to admit, Although his own rationality can still be suppressed, the various demonic qualities in his body stirred up by the blood nerve text are still rising and falling, just like the murderous intention at this moment.
