Infinite Brilliant Scroll

Chapter 31 Jiuying
After eating and drinking, we returned to Tianzun Temple, and the Taoist priests arranged a yard for Guan Luoyang to stay.

This Tianzun Temple is divided into three halls, six halls and twelve courtyards. It covers a wide area and is well-built. It spreads from the top of the hill to the back hill and spreads to the middle of the hill.

In fact, Guan Luoyang is full of energy now, and he doesn't feel sleepy at all, but Daoist Jiuhe and Qiudi are tired all night, they are tired from running around, and they say they have to rest for several hours after burning hot water for a bath.

Guan Luoyang naturally did as he pleased, took a hot bath, and changed his clothes again. He wore a white straight-breasted jacket with a lining, and long trousers with a soft belt around his waist.

On the outside is a gown with a round neck and large sleeves, a blue background with black borders, and the hem is only an inch above the ground.

The clothes are all bought by Qiu Di in the town, because the robes are loose enough, so even if they don't fit, you can't tell.

The shoes are cloth shoes with laminated soles, and a pair of white socks.

After putting on this body, he sat and rested in the guest room, trying to figure out the heat flow he got from the remnants of the picture.

Although the descendant of the blue bird sounds a bit miraculous, but now this power, let's call it vitality, can only stay within the range of the head, shoulders and arms.

There is no way to mobilize it to other parts of the body, let alone release it from the body, hurting people in the air.

However, within the range of the head, shoulders and arms, once Guan Luoyang wants to gather strength towards a certain part, this vitality will spontaneously surge towards that position, adding more fierce characteristics to the attack of his arms.

During extremely violent combat sports, this vitality will also be depleted. After calming down, it will slowly recover by itself, and if you do moderate exercise, you can speed up the recovery speed.

What Guan Luoyang wanted to figure out was nothing more than two aspects, one was how to increase the usage of this vitality, and the other was how to increase the upper limit of this vitality.

He tried a lot of exercise methods he knew, but with little success, and finally had to start looking for help.

"Since there are such things as spells in this world, there may be a way for me to understand this energy better, but they are probably still sleeping now, well, let's practice a few punches first."

Putting the matter of the blue bird's vitality aside, Guan Luoyang got off the bed and began to practice boxing in this small bedroom.

He has only achieved two in the four majors, and there are still many things to explore in the future.

Moreover, practicing boxing has become a habit of his life. If he does not practice when he is free, he will feel uncomfortable all over.

In the bedroom, the figure flickered back and forth, not far away, but the strong wind blowing around the body made the doors and windows vibrate slightly.

Until noon, the Tianzun Temple became a little noisy.

Guan Luoyang listened intently, and heard the voices of Taoist Nine Cranes and Qiudi, and then left the courtyard of the guest room and went to the front.

The people of Tianzun Temple gathered in the front hall at this time, and it turned out that they were welcoming a Taoist priest with a square face, thick eyebrows and short beard, and a swastika on his head.

This person is the abbot of Tianzun Temple, Taoist Master Jiuying.

Words such as abbot and abbot were originally called by Taoism. After Buddhism was introduced and flourished, they were borrowed for the convenience of the common people. Anyway, since the Han and Tang Dynasties, Taoism and Buddhism in China have copied each other. It becomes impossible to tell where the source is and who is the beginning.

Daoist Jiuhe introduced, and Daoist Jiuying and Guan Luoyang greeted each other.

"Qiudi, a distinguished guest is coming, how can we not lead him to have a look at the various scenery of Zhenwu Temple, you are welcome, don't neglect."

Taoist Master Jiuying gave an order, the implication was that the brothers and sisters had something to talk about alone.

Guan Luoyang happened to also want to find Qiudi, a talkative Taoist priest, to inquire about something, so he went with the flow and left with Qiudi.

Taoist Master Jiuying dispersed all the Taoist boys, and came to the main hall with Taoist Master Jiuhe.

In this hall, enshrined in the center is a statue of the Great Emperor Zhenwu, with hair and bare feet, a golden armor and a black robe, holding a sword formula with one hand, holding a treasured sword with the other, and stepping on the statue of a turtle and snake with both feet.

Daoist Jiuhe looked up, and sighed with a smile: "Brother, you let people go to watch the scenery, but after the big earthquake three months ago, these statues bumped into bumps, and there were a few small ones in the side hall. It's broken, what else is there to see?"

"All appearances are purely natural. As long as you are willing to pay attention, there are beautiful scenery everywhere. I think that little friend Guan is not an ordinary person."

Taoist Jiuying replied a few words, and then got down to business, "Earthquakes are not uncommon here in Jiaozhi, but Chengyin Mansion is located in a place where Fengshui is harmonious, and the underground air is entangled. There is no earthquake for 500 years. Once the earthquake occurs, When all the qi are flourishing, there will inevitably be frequent corpse and evil disasters, and it will be an excellent treasure land for all kinds of evil magicians to practice."

Daoist Jiuhe nodded and said, "Haven't we been busy dealing with these matters for more than three months? Look at the many disciples, how can any one of them be idle these days?"

"Is that enough?"

Daoist Jiuying asked back, "In our Fengzhao Zhenwu Temple, there are only more than [-] people who really understand magic. There are only five magic schools in the entire Chengyin Mansion, and there are only more than [-] boxing martial arts schools. Even if you add Hurry up with the relief soldiers, in my budget, there are not enough manpower."

Not to mention, even if it is a little ghost who can only haunt people in the middle of the night, he must be subdued by someone who really understands spells. Ordinary arresters will rush to them, which will only increase the casualties.

So after the big earthquake, Taoist Master Jiuying had planned to send orders to the various prefectures of Jiaozhi to call all the warlocks to help Chengyin.

But in fact, the situation is far from being as serious as Taoist Jiuying expected.

There are indeed a lot of corpses and ghosts, but there are not many evil magicians who take this opportunity to practice, and leftist monsters who wantonly cause disasters.

Daoist Jiuhe understood what he meant, and said, "I don't think you need to be too worried. Back then, we sent orders to all the prefectures to encircle and suppress all the warlocks among the water bandits in the five prefectures, and helped the government to defeat more than [-] water bandits along the Red River. Fortress, destroying more than a hundred ships, chasing the remnants to the sea, the momentum is huge, everyone knows."

"After this battle, they also know that we have the ability to urgently summon experts from various factions. If they dare to come here to practice, they want to fight with us and deal with the follow-up encirclement and suppression of warlocks from various provinces."

"Even they may not have conflicts with each other. The danger is greater than the opportunity. It is normal for people in the evil way not to dare to take the risk."

Taoist Master Jiuying pondered: "I really hope so. Back then, among the water bandits in the five prefectures, there were too many outlaws, evil warlocks, who dared to yell about the earth-shattering trend if they had three points of confidence. Now that I think about it, maybe I shouldn't have these monsters scattered all over the place. It’s on par with the giant gangsters back then.”

Daoist Jiuhe smiled and said: "At the beginning, you were in the back of the town, in charge of the warlock news, and dispatched various ministries. You didn't have the opportunity to show your skills in person. This time, you are looking forward to this time. Isn't it itchy hands?"

Taoist Master Jiuying shook his head, looked at the statue of Emperor Zhenwu whose gold lacquer was mottled, and said: "Zhenwu destroys demons, my generation's ambition. But if the world is peaceful, even if you don't do it for the rest of your life, what is there to regret? "

Taoist Master Nine Cranes also looked at the statue: "Speaking of which, after the earthquake, there were not a few Taoist temples and statues with damaged golden bodies, and those who practiced Taoism and did not understand magic had already gone to the surrounding prefectures to seek alms. It is necessary to reshape the golden body. Even those who are proficient in magic, they were still traveling around to kill evil in the past two months, but recently they have traveled far."

Taoist Master Jiuying turned his head to look at him, and said, "Worshiping gods and ancestors is only based on your heart, even if there is only a painting on the loess wall, it doesn't matter."

Priest Jiuhe disagreed: "After all, our place is quite famous. The people who come to pay homage want to see the majestic statue and seek peace of mind. If there is only a dilapidated place, they must be disappointed. Wouldn't it be a disappointment for them? Mind?"

Daoist Jiuying thought about it, nodded and said: "What you said is also reasonable, then I will let Qiudi and the others..."

"No need, I can do it alone."

Daoist Jiuhe said, "I'm going to go to Jiaozhou Prefecture. There are many wealthy families there, and there are many friends of mine. It only takes a few days to raise a sum of money for charity."

"Okay, let's go today?"

"The Taoist's belongings are nothing more than a lamp and a bamboo hat. Why bother? Let's go now."
