Chapter 460 Changling Taoist Temple
Chenghuang Temple.
There are many pedestrians and it is bustling and lively.
Ghost Ji Xi Lengyan frowned and disliked such a popular place. The maid next to her felt even more uncomfortable. Even holding an umbrella, she could feel her body being burned by the popularity from all directions.
“Miss, can the incense candles and charms in the temple really cover our breath?”
Chunxiang asked.
Xi Lengyan casually replied: "In this kind of City God's Temple, the incense candles and charms carry the power of incense and wishes, coupled with the blessing of the divine power of the City God's Yin Division, it can naturally easily cover up the cold and ghostly aura on our bodies, but it cannot last too long, otherwise It will come back to corrupt us.”
"In the heyday, this kind of thing wouldn't affect me, but it's different now. Okay, you control a few ordinary people to buy incense candles and charms."
Chunxiang nodded, "Yes, Miss."
In a short while.
Two women handed over the purchased incense candles and charms.
Shen Ping was sitting cross-legged on the bed, running the self-created technique "Dao Lun Jue". Before, he did not dare to practice too much in the ancient temple for fear of attracting attention. Now that he is running at full strength, bursts of cold spiritual energy from the surrounding world come from It poured into the body from all directions, and soon passed through the spine of the dragon and transformed into his mana.
Inside the inn.
After finishing the food.
Xi Lengyan could only sigh helplessly. Although her cultivation level was not low, she came from a scholarly family and had been influenced by it for many years. Her desire to study and pursue a career had long been ingrained. In her heart, she hoped that Mr. Shen, who she had had a few nights of love with, could Get a Jinshi like her father did.
Although they are not chaste and virtuous women, they were still ladies during their lifetime, and they are reserved and shy in this regard.
“It’s just a place where Yin Qi gathers. That well is also the location of the Six Evil Spirits. It’s a good place for those of us who cultivate Yin bodies.”
After a while.
Xi Lengyan tapped her fingers and used some tricks, and then placed the charms on her and the maid respectively. "Let's go back to the inn. At noon, you can rent a courtyard and light incense candles in the courtyard. The breath on our bodies will be disappear."
This kind of mana is not the same as the mana transformed by spiritual roots. There seems to be a rule restriction in the mana, making it difficult to use mana to perform the magical means in the memory of the true spirit.
"Yes, it's just that Taoist temples are very strict when recruiting disciples. They not only look at talent, but also examine character. Since Mr. Shen is a scholar, the slave family feels that it is best to take the imperial examination route. If he can reach high school, he will be no weaker in this world than practice."
The world-famous Taoist temples will be granted imperial edicts and enjoy the luck of the dynasty. In addition, there are also some folk Taoist temples and temples that can gather dragon energy through the incense of the people.
Xi Lengyan was very satisfied.
He was not surprised at all.
Shen Ping took the opportunity to ask Xi Lenyan about matters related to practice, "Miss Xi, I see that your maid has good legs and feet. Has she followed an immortal? Does she know magic?"
"how do I say this?"
After late at night.
Chunxiang smiled and said, "As long as the young lady likes it, relying on this environment, the young lady can recover faster."
The maid Chunxiang rented a house and the three of them moved in.
Shen Ping smiled pointedly and said, "Don't worry, I will repay your lady well tonight."
Listen to Xi Lenyan's explanation.
“Anyone who can pass the imperial examination and get to high school will be protected by Wenquxing. Once he enters the court and becomes an official, he will be protected by the court’s dragon energy, which will make it difficult for virtuous people and wild fox monsters to get close to him..."
Xi Lengyan shook her head, "There are no immortals in this world. They are just Taoist methods and heretical techniques. Chunxiang and I met a wandering Taoist priest in the early years and learned some things. Only then did we dare to go out in the wilderness. walk."
Chunxiang left to rent a house.
“Nuo, these are the snacks and roasted chicken that the young lady brought you. Mr. Shen, my young lady is sincere to you, and I hope you will not let them down.”
Chunxiang put the lunch box on the table without forgetting to give a reminder.
This palace world must have the influence of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and only by using the rules of this world can extraordinary power be exerted.
He immediately stopped practicing when he noticed the scent of Leng Yan and Chun Xiang sitting outside the inn.
Shen Ping snorted, "So, if you want to practice, you have to enter a Taoist temple to learn from a master?"
See this.
It’s time to reach Youshi.
Shen Ping shook his head and said, "Miss Xi, don't try to persuade her any more. Xiaosheng's determination to practice Taoism has long been determined and will never change."
The two women walked into the inn room.
Shen Ping gradually gained a clearer understanding of this world. There was only one dynasty in this world, which was the Kingdom of Zhao. There were twelve major states under its jurisdiction. Each state had a dragon cauldron to gather the energy of the dragon veins. The government Even the county seat and government office will be protected by dragon veins, so sneaky monsters can't easily get close to them.
While they were doing their business.
Xi Lengyan said seriously.
As he spoke, Shen Ping first told the story of his encounter with the demon fox, and then revealed his desire to visit immortals and seek the Tao.
“The way of cultivation is difficult to reach the sky. Even if you succeed in cultivation, there are many limitations and you cannot truly be free and easy. Therefore, the young master should still work **** his studies. Once he enters the Dragon Court one day, he will rise to the top."
This house is a hundred years old. The third time I entered the house, the front yard and atrium were quite good, but the back yard looked dilapidated and looked quite gloomy at night.
The cheeks of the two women suddenly turned red.
Inside the bath tub of the bedroom in the backyard.
The water soaked in the medicinal materials showed a milky white color. Shen Ping could feel his body warm when he soaked in it, as if the medicinal power was nourishing his body.
"This medicinal bath will replenish the body. Mr. Shen has been having **** for the past few days. Although he seems to be fine, he has already suffered a lot on the inside. I will replenish my body tonight, and I will serve you well tomorrow night."
Xi Lengyan stood by the bathtub and gave Shen Ping a clear look.
Shen Ping smiled and said, "Miss Xi, please give me a piece."
Xi Lengyan's face turned red and she said angrily: "Master, don't try to seduce me. If I fall into the water, I might be tortured by you."
After saying that, leave quickly.
And the next night.
The hot-blooded Shen Ping took off Xi Lengyan in just three strokes, leaving only a pink bellyband. Under the light of the red candle, her skin was glowing with moisture.
Soon a loud sound could be heard in the house.
It wasn’t more than an hour.
Xi Lengyan couldn't bear it anymore and gasped: "Master, why don't you let Chunxiang come with us? This girl is listening at the wall."
Before Shen Ping could speak, the maid Chunxiang rushed into the bedroom and said with a springy face: "Miss, you finally remembered me."
“You **** girl, why don’t you come quickly and help the young master warm up?”
The next six or seven days.
The three of them stayed in the house and lived happily, reciting poems and writing poems during the day, and playing the shengxiao every night. “Chunxiang, my cultivation level has recovered to 60%, it’s time for us to leave Shanyang County.”
This day.
Xi Lenyan said quietly.
Chunxiang could see the young lady's reluctance to let go of Mr. Shen. After all, Mr. Shen was her first man whether before or after her birth. Although there was no relationship between husband and wife, they were still married.
“Miss, although Mr. Shen is good, he is a scholar. If we take him with us, we will only drag him down, and in fact, we will harm him.”
In fact, Chunxiang was a little reluctant to let go. She had learned how powerful Shen Ping was in the past few days, and that feeling was simply happier than anything else in the world.
“Chunxiang, I don’t know what you are talking about. It’s just, just...that’s all. Let’s pack up and leave. This house will be left to him. I hope we can meet again in the future.”
The two women left without saying goodbye.
However, Xi Lengyan left a letter in the bedroom where she lived.
With Shen Ping's powerful true spirit, he could naturally sense the two of them leaving, but he did not forcefully persuade them to stay, because in the eyes of the other party, they were people from two different worlds.
Sit at the table.
Open the letter.
There is a beautiful handwriting on it: "Young Master Shen, to be honest, I am a ghost body. If you and I are together, we may be punished by God. Moreover, I have things to do, so I can only leave without saying goodbye... I know that Mr. Shen is devoted to Taoism. There is a Taoist temple in Daliang Mountain near Shanyang County. You can try it. If you don’t have the talent, I hope you will change your mind and devote yourself to studying and pass the imperial examination."
“See you again by fate, Mr. Shen, please don’t miss me.”
Fingers flash fluorescently.
The letter burned to ashes.
These days, he has become more and more proficient in the use of his own magic power. Although it is still difficult to activate various methods, he has understood that the bones of the Tao are the foundation of all magic power.
“Miss Xi is really kind-hearted. If it were any other ghost, they would have eaten me up and wiped me clean.”
Shaked his head.
Suppress distracting thoughts.
He rushed directly to Daliang Mountain the next day.
Daliang Mountain is not one of the famous mountains and rivers in the Twelve Prefectures of Da Zhao. The peaks are not as steep and towering as other mountain ranges. The terrain is relatively gentle, but the scope is very vast, stretching for nearly hundreds of miles. The mountains are lush with vegetation and rarely visited by pedestrians.
Not long after Shen Ping left, he encountered several snakes and insects.
After walking along the winding and rugged mountain road for more than two hours, I saw mountain people going up the mountain to collect medicine. After asking around, I learned that the temple is at the top of the third mountain.
Looking up, you can vaguely see it, but there is no building.
Hurrying quickly, we arrived at the gate of the Taoist temple near dusk.
“The young man came here in search of the Tao, hoping to enter the Taoist gate.”
The Taoist temple is not big, so it was easy to find the Taoist priest. He directly stated his intention.
One of the older Taoist priests looked at Fan Shenping. This time, Shen Ping did not use the true spirit to cover the mana in his body. "Hey, he actually has mana. It seems that he has Taoist talent. Come up here."
“Yes, Taoist Master.”
Shen Ping took a few steps forward.
The Taoist priest checked it and nodded slightly: "Have you ever entered other Taoist gates before?"
"Wei Zeng, Xiaosheng met a Taoist priest You Fang before. The Taoist priest taught him a few formulas and practiced them for several years."
"I see."
"The temple owner is not here, so you should stay in the temple for now and wait until the temple owner comes back before making a decision."
that's all.
Shen Ping stayed in Changlingguan for three months.
Although I have not officially entered the Taoist school of Changling Temple in the past three months, the Taoist priest named Chen still gave me a cultivation method called "Changling Jue". Although it is only an entry-level Taoist method, it is recorded in it. The method of transporting and absorbing made up for Shen Ping's understanding of the rules of this world.
Only then did he know that when he absorbs and practices, he must not only absorb the Taoist bones, but also absorb a ray of vitality between heaven and earth. This vitality is just a name, such as the purple energy rising in the east every day, which is vitality, and other yin and yang energy born in special environments. , the Qi of the five elements, etc., and Taoism also specializes in vitality pills, which are extracted from medicinal materials.
Therefore, without orthodox cultivation methods, it is impossible to perform spells and other means.
“Sowing beans to create soldiers, paper cranes to spread messages, golden-armored puppets, and substitute techniques...these are all Taoist magic methods. They are interesting. It seems that the secret lies in absorbing this ray of life."
Different practice systems do have different presentation methods.
Shen Ping used to have many methods to cultivate immortal spiritual roots, but they were unable to give life to dead creatures. Like puppets, they could only be controlled and driven by means such as the Art of Controlling Objects. However, here, even the puppets will have simple spiritual intelligence after being given mana.
“This must be the influence of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.”
“The way of this world must be extraordinary.”
His face showed joy.
The Heaven and Earth Avenue in the world of the Blue Giant Palace last time was actually very ordinary. Even if he relied on it to break through the Emperor, it would still be the most ordinary Emperor. Therefore, after choosing the way of the Great Hun Cave, he did not rush to use Jinmu. Water, fire, earth and other heaven and earth avenues were used to construct the mixed cave space, but instead they entered the palace world of Jiehai Peak.
Looking at it now, this is undoubtedly correct.
The more powerful the Heaven and Earth Avenue, the more complete and stable the mixed cave space constructed, and the stronger the power of the small world will be in the future.
“Shen Ping.”
"You have made rapid progress in cultivation in the past three months. Even those introductory disciples of the Dao Sect are no less generous than others. Although the master has not returned, I have sent a letter to explain the situation. Yesterday, the master replied and asked me to go ahead. Accept disciples on his behalf."
"Today I will officially accept you as my disciple and give you the Taoist title Lingzhen. From now on, you will be my Lingzhen Taoist disciple of Changling Temple."
The main hall of Taoist temple.
In front of the statue of the founder of the Changling lineage.
Taoist Chen is also the solemn Taoist priest of Lingwu Taoism.
Shen Ping hurriedly saluted: "Thank you so much, Master Guan, and thank you Taoist Master Lingwu."
For a moment.
After going through a whole set of apprenticeship procedures, Taoist Master Lingwu showed a smile on his face, "Lingzhen, get up, you will be my nephew from now on. Our elder brother Ling Guanxiao has only ten people in the sect. Currently, your senior brother They all follow your master, and when they come back, I will introduce them to you one by one."
"In addition, if you want to read the books in the temple, you can enter and read them. Remember not to take them out or mess them up."
Shen Pingping’s words were, “Thank you, Uncle Lingwu.”
There are not many books collected in Changling Temple, only fifty or sixty volumes, most of which are useless, but there are still several books that record information on Taoism.
Within the Taoist sect, all practices are based on Taoism. Whoever has profound Taoism can control the world. Taoism is a threshold every hundred years. Anyone who is less than a hundred years old is considered a Taoist disciple, and those who are more than a hundred years old can be naturalized. Taoist priest.
The foundation of Taoism is vitality. The vitality absorbed every day will condense lines similar to annual rings on the Tao bones. The more lines there are, the higher the Taoism will be. To a certain extent, it can even turn decay into magic and create something out of nothing.
Shen Ping checked the annual rings of his Taoist bones. Among them, the five elements of Qi of the Changling lineage are now less than one circle, and the Yin and Yang Qi lines obtained from the ghost concubine Xi Lengyan are also less than one circle.
