my steam dam

Chapter 55

"he is the one?"

In the main hall of the backyard of Suzhou Jinyiwei Qianhu House.

Peng Ke looked at the little Taoist priest in front of him who was wearing a Taoist robe, looked to be in his early 20s, and even had pimples on his face, his face was very suspicious.

Maybe he was annoyed by Peng Ke's attitude, so the little Taoist said annoyedly before Ah Hu could say anything: "Poor Daodong Yunzi, Hongwu received the scriptures for five years. It's a little childish."

Penke opened his mouth in surprise.

The Qi refiners of Taoism in this world are not like the novels they read in the previous life, they can still look good and live forever.

It will still fade with age.

On the contrary, it is recorded in previous classics that some Daoist real people became immortals at the age of one hundred and twenty and became a flying fairy, and they were among the immortals.

But whether it is true or not, it is now impossible to know.

Everyone has never seen a fairy in a serious way.

However, for Taoist qi refiners, the older they are, the more popular they are. The older they are, the more profound their mana is, and the higher their ability to fast and sacrifice.

That's why Peng Ke didn't trust Dong Yunzi a little when he saw that Dong Yunzi looked very young.

"No respect, no respect, the Taoist chief has the skills to keep his face, which is really amazing."

Peng Ke stood up and smiled and bowed to Dong Yunzi. After apologizing for his reaction, he asked curiously:
"I don't know what realm the chief has cultivated to?"

Although Penke's question was a bit straightforward, it was related to business after all, so there was nothing offensive or not.

Dong Yunzi nodded understandingly: "Pindao just broke through last year and has already entered the cave."

Penke nodded clearly.

This Dongtian does not refer to the Dongtian of Taoism, but the realm of Dongtian among the seven realms of Taoism.

Although this is only the second level, it has already been able to display some mysterious means.

Including the method of opening the altar, inviting the upper body of the gods, and using talismans and mantras to suppress evil spirits.

Most of Daming's magic-breaking bullets were made by these Qi refiners in the cave realm.

The Taoist priests of the Zhengyi School of Taoism can only be named Tiancao and have the position of Taoism after granting and accepting talismans.

Taoism believes that talismans are naturally formed by clouds in the sky, copied by gods, and passed on to the world.

Therefore, it has magical functions such as summoning ghosts and gods, calming the five parties, subduing demons and suppressing demons, curing diseases and eliminating disasters.

Lulu, also known as Falu, usually lists the names of gods and officials and corresponding talismans, and some are also painted with statues of gods.

Only when Taoist priests have the corresponding dharma can they summon gods, officials, soldiers and generals to guard their bodies, or serve them to practice Taoism.

To put it simply, it is only after receiving the talisman that one can begin to cultivate, one can mobilize mysterious abilities, and be able to create some mysterious and mysterious items.

It's a bit like a key to unlock the mysterious side ability.

It's just that the requirements for this thing are very high. On average, there may be one Qi Refiner who is qualified to confer the talisman out of a million people.

There is basically no possibility of popularization, and it is destined to be an ability that can only be possessed by a few people.

Moreover, in this Dharma-ending era, a Taoist qi refiner who has cultivated to the most extreme level of the Nine Palaces cannot resist twenty seven-inch cannons.

Perhaps the legendary Qi refiners of Yuqing, Shangqing, Taiji and other realms can regret those modern technological weapons of Ming Dynasty.

But times have changed~
Before 2000, in fact, Qi practitioners did not have such a fine division. Maybe whether it is Dongtian or Jiugong, they are just at the level of beginners.

It was only during the Southern and Northern Dynasties that the world began to change drastically, and Qi practitioners found it more and more difficult to practice.
Afterwards, the subdivision of realm that Daoist Tao Hongjing joked about at the beginning was gradually regarded as a universal criterion.

By now, even the realm of the Nine Palaces has basically come to an end, and Taoists in the realm of Dongtian are the main force in the world.

Both Yuqing and Shangqing have become legends.

Maybe in a few hundred years, the monks in the Nine Palaces Realm will all disappear, and the Cave Heaven Realm will be the leader.

This is also the reason why Daming must unswervingly follow the steam technology route.

Seeing that these qi refiners can't protect themselves, why are they still clinging to this road?

It is still the fragrance of steam technology that man can conquer nature!

But now, these qi refiners are still very useful, and they haven't been completely abandoned by the times.

Peng Ke said to Dong Yunzi very politely: "Master Dong Yunzi, I will trouble you this time. Get up on the altar and help us do a ritual. There is a person who needs you to help us find it."

Dong Yunzi was a disciple sent by Zhuling Dongtian to practice in Daming.

Now he is a resident Taoist priest in Suzhou Prefecture.

It is said that it is practicing in the world, but in fact, Emperor Hongwu forced these Taoist monks to send a variable number of disciples to serve Daming every year with a gun in his hand, and they themselves had to accept the jurisdiction of the Daolu Department.

Otherwise, it will all be thrown away!

Due to the power of Emperor Hongwu, these Taoist monks naturally had no choice but to obey.

As soon as Peng Ke returned to the Qianhusuo, he sent someone to invite the Taoist resident in Suzhou Prefecture to come and talk.

These Taoist monks have mastered a lot of strange secret techniques, including some secret techniques for finding people.

In Daming, where there is no satellite map navigation and no sky-eye system all over the town, finding someone is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.

However, these Taoist monks, if they master the birth date, real name, and objects they have come into contact with, they can use these things to open the altar and search for people!
And the accuracy rate is very high!

Occultism, sometimes there are indeed unique features that science cannot do!
"It should be. Cooperating with the work of the imperial court is what the Taoist priests stationed in the government blamed."

Dong Yunzi flicked his fly whisk, made a salute, and asked neither humble nor overbearing: "I wonder if Mr. Peng has prepared the horoscope of the seeker's birthday and related items?"

Peng Ke laughed and waved: "Come here, go to the backyard and invite Miss Gu. Remember to ask her to bring something related to her aunt."

"Here!"

After the guard outside the door responded, he hurried to the backyard.

"Master, wait a moment."

"Let's taste the tea first. This is the best Wuyi Mountain tea. It tastes mellow and sweet, which is very good."

Peng Ke took a sip of the hot tea that had just been brewed by his servants, and motioned Dong Yunzi to take a rest.

Dong Yunzi was naturally kind, so he also picked up a cup of tea and tasted it with Peng Ke.

However, this quiet and peaceful atmosphere did not last much.

"My lord! Ying Tianfu is calling!"

An armored guard hurried in with a telegram, bowed his head and whispered something in Penke's ear, then handed the telegram to him.

Peng Ke took the telegram and quickly read the content, and a happy smile appeared on his face immediately.

It's really cool to be backed by a state agency!

All of his requests to Emperor Hongwu were approved, and even Emperor Hongwu added three more steam airships to him on this basis, and temporarily granted him the command of the local garrison in Suzhou Prefecture.

There is a full guard in Suzhou Mansion, 5000 people!

Although the equipment and combat effectiveness may be a little inferior to the frontier army, but in the early days of the founding of the country, these government troops are all elite soldiers, and they can fight bloody battles!
With these troops in hand, Penke is basically invincible!
　In fact, in ancient China, there are no outrageous legends about Qi refiners and Taoist cultivation.

　　Since ancient times, the Chinese have been seeking longevity, not killing power
　　Therefore, those cultivating immortals and practicing Taoism in traditional legends are doing things such as praying for blessings and avoiding disasters, exorcising evil spirits and exorcising ghosts, and saving the dead.

　　Most of them focus on that they can live forever, become immortals, and become immortals.

　　As for the overwhelming force value, burning mountains and boiling seas, and destroying a planet in a circle, that is only available in online fairy tale novels in the past ten years.
