Chapter 42 Seclusion in the world, late stage of foundation building
"Master is facing a formidable enemy. If the disciple escapes on his own, I may not be able to be a human being in the future."
"The disciple has just entered the practice. I have never seen the power of Master Jin Dan.”
“Master, just like a newborn calf, you are not afraid of tigers.”
Tian Ming’an knelt on the ground and refused to raise his head, his voice slightly trembling. .
"Ha, it's a joke."
Jiang Sheng couldn't help laughing and said, "Do you still have some hope?"
"For example, what experts can you invite as a teacher to help you in boxing?"
“I am not afraid to tell you that I am an inner disciple from Penglai, nothing more than an ordinary one.”
“I don’t know how many inner disciples there are in Penglai, and there are more casualties in the experience outside. It’s normal, no one will come to help me, and no one will come to avenge me.”
"So, do you still want to stay and die?"
Tian Ming'an raised his head with a firm expression: "Disciple, I want to stay."
Looking at Tian Ming'an's stubborn look, Jiang Sheng He just said lightly: "Then just stay."
After saying that, Jiang Sheng flicked his sleeves and unleashed a burst of spiritual power.
The flowing light and clear water array deployed in the Taoist temple was completely activated, and a curtain of flowing light water rose up to cover the Taoist temple and isolate it from the outside world.
"I'll take care of myself and go into seclusion for my master."
Jiang Sheng waved Tian Ming'an away and sealed the door of the front hall of the Taoist temple. After that, there was no more sound from inside.
Tian Ming'an looked at the closed front hall, pursed his lips, turned around and entered the side hall.
Since then, Qingxuan Temple has fallen into complete silence, and outsiders can no longer detect the reality inside Qingxuan Temple.
The first person to discover that Qingxuan Temple was inaccessible was Tian Guofu.
He was about to go up the mountain to meet his grandson, but he didn't expect that the entire Taoist temple was blocked by a layer of water curtain, and he couldn't even get close.
Tian Guofu tried to shout, but his voice seemed to be blocked.
In desperation, Tian Guofu had to return.
At the time of Jingzhe, Zhang Qing also wanted to come to the Taoist temple to see Jiang Sheng, but also found that she could not get close to the Taoist temple.
Zhang Qing, who returned to the county office, told Zhang Qingyun the news and analyzed that Jiang Sheng was in seclusion and did not want to be disturbed by outsiders.
So Zhang Qingyun happily issued a notice telling the gentry, wealthy businessmen and people in the county that Taoist Master Jiang had gone into seclusion and practiced cultivation, and idlers were not allowed to approach Qingping Mountain.
At first, some people didn’t believe it and thought it was Zhang Qingyun’s trick.
But as several groups of gentry went up the mountain and were stopped outside the Taoist temple, everyone knew that Taoist leader Jiang had really gone into seclusion.
Since then, although there are still two or three people who want to come to pray for incense and talismans, they are all blocked by the water curtain and return without success.
As a result, Qingping Mountain was gradually forgotten by the world in just a few months.
Compared with the mysterious Taoist Master Jiang who could not be seen at all, the firewood, rice, oil and salt in front of him deserved more attention from ordinary people.
The casual cultivators are also working hard for spiritual stones, elixirs, exercises and other training resources, and they have no time to care about other people.
The titles Qing Xuanguan and Jiang Daozhang just faded out of the sight of everyone in Dongjun.
But Jiang Sheng in Qingxuan Temple felt that he was living a very comfortable life during this period.
Every day I collect morning glow and moonlight at night, and turn all the morning glow and moonlight into the pure spiritual power in my body, improving my cultivation level by bit.
Every day, Jiang Sheng's improvement is visible to the naked eye.
For ordinary casual cultivators or people from small sects and small aristocratic families who have poor understanding and lack of cultivation resources, it may be common for them to not see any improvement in their cultivation for ten days and a half or even half a year.
But for monks like Jiang Sheng who have built the foundation of heaven and earth, the foundation of heaven and earth in their bodies is absorbing the spiritual power of heaven and earth all the time.
Coupled with the extraordinary power of the Penglai Kung Fu "Tian Yisheng Shui Jing", Jiang Sheng's cultivation level increased very quickly.
In just three months, Jiang Sheng's strength has increased to another level.
June, summer solstice.
After more than three months of seclusion, Jiang Sheng left the front hall for the first time.
In these three months, not only did Jiang Sheng gain a lot, but Tian Ming'an also developed some feelings.
He is now a monk at the second level of Qi training.
When Jiang Sheng came out of seclusion, Tian Ming'an was very surprised: "Master, are you out of seclusion?!"
"I just came out to take a breath and check on you."
Jiang Sheng looked at Shimoda Ming'an and then nodded. Tian Ming'an's understanding was not bad. He could practice to the point of practicing without any guidance in three months. The second level of Qi is already very good for a newcomer.
"If you have any troubles in practice, please tell me immediately. The next time I come out as a teacher, I don't know when it will be." Jiang Sheng said.
After hearing this, Tian Mingan quickly expressed some of his doubts about practicing the Qingyuan Talisman Sutra.
Jiang Sheng himself practiced the Qingyuan Talisman Scripture to the ninth level of Qi training before specializing in the "Tian Yisheng Shui Jing", so his understanding of the Qingyuan Talisman Scripture is naturally very deep.
In addition, Jiang Sheng is now in the foundation-building realm, and he has a deeper understanding of the Qingyuan Talisman Sutra from a high position.
So Tian Mingan’s doubts were quickly answered by Jiang Sheng.
Jiang Sheng even released spiritual energy to demonstrate the operation of the technique to Tian Ming'an, and explained to Tian Ming'an the two self-protection techniques in the Qingyuan Talisman Sutra.
After Jiang Sheng’s explanation, Tian Mingan obviously gained a lot.
This is what is called true transmission of one sentence and false transmission of thousands of books.
There is definitely a difference in the speed of progress between having someone to guide you and practicing blindly on your own.
Seeing that Tian Ming'an was determined to practice according to his own method, Jiang Sheng said again: "Ming'an, being a teacher now is just building a foundation, but some of my insights are similar to yours."
"You should remember that any skill is compiled by its owner according to his own situation."
"If the master's practice is 100% effective, then when it comes to outsiders like us, it may only be 70% to 80% or even lower.”
“The Qingyuan Talisman Scripture has actually been continuously revised through generations of Tao Zong to become the Zhongzheng Peace it is today, and is suitable for the enlightenment of all monks.”
"But despite this, everyone's situation is different, and practice cannot be generalized." "What I teach you is just my personal perception. You must not imitate me. There must be something of your own."
“Do you understand?”
Tian Ming’an nodded thoughtfully: “Disciple understands.”
Jiang Sheng nodded, raised his head and raised his hands Looking at the mountains through the stream of clear blue water, I saw the undulating mountains are full of green: "It's a good time for everything to grow and flourish."
The next day, Jiang Sheng returned to the front hall for retreat again.
After Qingxuan Temple was angry for just one more day, it became silent again.
Jiang Sheng sat cross-legged in front of the portrait of his ancestor, quietly running his exercises and meditating to practice his Qi.
Every time he practiced until noon, Jiang Sheng took a Yuan Ju Dan and drank it, and when he practiced in the evening, he took a Yuan Raising Pill.
Jiang Sheng only takes these two pills every day and is never greedy for more.
No matter how good the elixir is, it will still be said to be erysipelas.
There has never been an elixir in the world of mountains and rivers that has no trace of erysipelas and is 100% absorbed and used by people.
Jiang Sheng knew that he should not be greedy and should make progress in practice.
Every month, Jiang Sheng would even take time to eliminate erysipelas from his body to prevent these things from affecting the formation of erysipelas in the future.
The sun and the moon are passing by, summer rain and autumn wind.
Time has arrived in late autumn in the blink of an eye, and Qingxuan Temple has disappeared from the eyes of the people of Qingshan County for more than half a year.
Zhang Qingyun has felt very comfortable in the past six months.
With Jiang Sheng not showing up, Zhang Qingyun felt as if the mountain above his head had disappeared, and his whole body felt extremely relaxed.
And as more than half of the tangled gentry in Qingshan County have been cleared away, the remaining gentry also know who has the final say in Qingshan County now.
Everyone was subservient to him, making Zhang Qingyun's governance very smooth.
In Qingshan County today, there is no obstruction from the gentry, no river god on the side, and even Jiang Sheng has gone into seclusion.
Zhang Qingyun has never felt so good.
It is said that people feel refreshed during happy events. After more than half a year of fermentation, the imperial court actually gave Zhang Qingyun a reward.
The imperial court's encouragement came second. What pleased Zhang Qingyun the most was that the imperial court granted him a place to practice in the Qingzhou Taoist Palace.
That was the spot he had been fighting for for his daughter.
However, when Zhang Qingyun told Zhang Qing the news, Zhang Qing seemed very dull and did not feel very happy.
"Qing'er, this is the qualification to enter Qingzhou Taoist Palace to practice, aren't you happy?" Zhang Qingyun was very confused.
Zhang Qing said: "My father has won such a rare resource for my daughter, so my daughter is naturally happy."
"But father, what kind of cultivation is the preaching master of Qingzhou Taoist Palace?" Why?”
“Zifu, isn’t it enough?” Zhang Qingyun asked in confusion.
Zhang Qing said: "The cultivation level of Zifu is naturally not low. After all, the eight aristocratic families in the eight counties of Qingzhou are only in the realm of Zifu."
"But father, above Qingzhou Dao Palace, there are three major sects in Qingzhou." Door."
"Compared with Jindan Zhenren, is Zi Mansion worthy of joy?"
As he spoke, Zhang Qing looked up at the scorching sun in the sky, the autumn sunshine was still shining. It was a bit dazzling, so she had to raise her hands to cover it up.
“Father, since you want to practice, you must naturally follow the best practice.”
"Although my daughter doesn't know what her basic understanding is, she is still smart."
"My daughter also has ambitions. Her mother was just a Qi-training monk all her life and was driven to death by the family. Even if the foundation-building monk is in the family, He is just an ordinary elder."
"My daughter wants to prove the Jindan and see what the real Jindan realm is like."
Zhang Qingyun was stunned for a long time before sighing: "What the hell. It’s because my father underestimated you.”
The autumn wind is bleak, and the leaves are falling and turning yellow.
From late autumn to mid-winter, it seems like a blink of an eye.
A year seems to have passed just like that.
Mortals sigh, time passes by and it is suddenly too late, and the colors are withered and not as good as yesterday.
Time is extremely precious to both mortals and monks.
Even if you are a rich person in this world, you can't buy time with hundreds of millions of wealth, and it is even harder to find a life-extending elixir in the spiritual world.
However, ordinary people think that a hundred years is too long, but monks think that one year is too short.
When a year goes by like this, many people lament how unrestrained or boring this year was.
Jiang Sheng in Qingxuan Temple finally came out of seclusion again.
The twelfth lunar month in the middle of winter means another new year.
The sky outside the mountain is filled with fireworks, firecrackers and lanterns, and the atmosphere is full of joy.
The mountains are quiet and silent, the moonlight is cold and isolated from the world.
The Taoist stood in the courtyard and looked at the bright moon in the late night sky. Feeling the solid late-stage foundation-building cultivation in his body, Jiang Sheng's expression remained indifferent, not at all overjoyed.
“Only one year left.”
Today’s second update is still three thousand words~
Brothers, can Linyuan help?
It means that tomorrow's reading is related to whether Linyuan can advance and the future of this book.
In fact, Linyuan is very worried because Linyuan's retention has never been high.
Maybe it’s because Linyuan’s writing is boring, or maybe everyone is just keeping books.
But no matter what, gentlemen, please don’t read any books tomorrow, and be sure to read the latest chapters.
Whether you can advance depends on tomorrow, gentlemen, please mess with m(o__)m (哐哐)
