Liao Zhai alchemist

Chapter 391 Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years of Taoism

"Gongde lotus?" Master Yiku thought for a while, and then said: "I don't know why Mr. Zhang asked about this? As far as I know, this karma lotus is only useful for us Buddhist monks."

Zhang Wei said, "Oh, I'd like to hear more about it."

"The lotus of merit, also known as the golden lotus of merit. It is a lotus flower that grows in the pool of merit in front of the Buddha. It is golden in color. We Buddhist monks pay attention to reincarnation and our ambitions. This golden lotus of merit is a treasure that protects us from losing ourselves in reincarnation."

"But the golden lotus of merit and virtue is a Buddhist item after all, and the Dharma is extremely pure. If you are not a Buddhist, this lotus is useless."

Zhang Wei nodded after listening.He also knows something about this.Reincarnation has always been an important means of becoming an immortal.After a hundred generations of reincarnation, only by tempering the original mind can we prove the way.

It's just that reincarnation is dangerous, and each reincarnation will consume one's heart, which is equivalent to washing oneself white once every reincarnation.The number of times of this reincarnation is too many, and the original heart is washed, and everyone is lost, and even the original heart disappears, so what is the tempering of the original heart?
A monk who walks the path of reincarnation must have a way to maintain his original mind.In this regard, Yaozu has a net panacea.Ghosts have immortal grass.And Buddhism relies on merit lotus.

The merit lotus of Buddhism can protect Buddhist monks from losing their original mind, and when they reach a certain age, they will automatically awaken Su Hui.Therefore, it is often heard that some people suddenly become enlightened and directly plunge into Buddhism.Then this kind of person often progresses very fast in practice, and will soon be called an eminent monk and great virtue.

These people, under the blessing of the karma lotus, can return to Buddhism practice every generation.

And the merit lotus is in the hands of the Buddha, which also allows the Buddha to control the Buddhist monks in the world.In order to get a meritorious lotus, every Buddhist must work hard.

Zhang Wei thought for a while, and said, "I need a merit lotus right now. I wonder if Master can help me?"

Upon hearing this, Master Yiku immediately said: "Master Zhang has plans to convert to Buddhism? If so, I can guarantee that Master Zhang will definitely get a meritorious lotus!"

Buddhism likes to transform powerful people the most, goblins and villains, they are all welcome, but the premise is that these people or demons can bring benefits to Buddhism.

There is no benefit to transmutation, Buddhism does not do it...

If Zhang Wei could be converted into Buddhism, it would be a great achievement, even the Buddha would personally shave Zhang Wei!

The current Zhang Wei has such influence.

At that time, let alone a lotus of merit, he could give him all the lotus in the pool of merit. Anyway, the lotus can still grow, and people like Zhang Wei will disappear after passing.

After listening to Master Yiku's words, Zhang Wei quickly shook his head and said, "I have no intention of converting to Buddhism. After all, I still have a wife and father."

Upon hearing this, Master Yiku immediately said: "If Mr. Zhang really converts to Buddhism, all these can be discussed. There are also some sects in our Buddhism who don't mind getting married."

If someone like Zhang Wei enters Buddhism, then Buddhism has a free and flexible bottom line.Ordinary people who want to enter Buddhism must strictly abide by the rules and precepts.

Zhang Wei still shook his head firmly, and said, "Master, don't say any more, I can't take refuge, I just want a merit lotus."

Hearing this, Master Yiku finally sighed.Zhang Wei is not an ordinary person, who can achieve such an achievement and have such a cultivation level, whoever is not a person with a firm heart will not easily join Buddhism.

He thought for a while, and said: "The golden lotus of merit is related to every Buddhist monk, and it is a very precious thing. I hope you know it well."

Zhang Wei sighed and said, "Isn't it still okay?"

If not, then consider other options.This meritorious lotus is what he is determined to obtain.He had a vague feeling that this lotus anti-epidemic pill was very important to him.

Seeing Zhang Wei's disappointed look, Master Yiku shook his head and said, "What the poor monk means is that this lotus is precious, and you must pay more if you want it!"

"Um?!"

Zhang Wei looked at him in surprise.

"Ordinary cooperation is not enough. Mr. Zhang must cooperate more closely with the Buddhist sect, so that the Buddha will bestow the golden lotus of merit." Master Yiku said lightly.

If it didn't work, he gave Zhang Wei his golden lotus merit, and for the sake of Buddhism's growth, he also did his best!

This is really a situation where there is no way out of doubt, and there is another village in the shadow of the willow and flowers!

"I don't know what the master wants?" Zhang Wei asked immediately.

Master Yiku smiled slightly, picked up his teacup and smiled without saying a word.

..........................................................................................

A day later, a group of monks from Jinshan Temple in Jinhua Mansion came to Qingzhou Mansion with a very high-profile attitude.Zhang Wei, the prefect of Qingzhou Prefecture, personally came to the pier to greet him.

Master Yichen presided over Jinshan Temple, Master Yiku of Jiansi Temple, and masters of Bodhi Temple, Prajna Temple, and Dajue Yuan came together.In the Jinshan Temple in Jinhua, except for a small number of left-behind monks, the main monks have all come to Qingzhou Prefecture.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Jinshan Temple is betting on Zhang Wei!
People from Qingwei faction and Shenxiao faction watched with cold eyes. If it were any other time, people from these two factions would definitely oppose this matter with all their strength.But now, they are all starting to support Zhang Wei to compete in the Central Plains. At this time, they can't be arrogant, but let go of the views of the sect and let people from the Buddhist sect join in.

Only by uniting all forces that can be united can great things be done!People who can cultivate to such a level are not stupid.

The things to be done are different, and the vision and realm will be different.If you just want to be sidelined, then naturally there will be endless internal struggles.But if you want to conquer the world, it is natural to unite everything.

Zhang Wei approved a piece of land for Jinshan Temple in Xincheng, and Jinshan Temple can build their temple.

Jinshan Temple is very rich... All the famous temples in the world are very rich. After the land was approved, they invited craftsmen to start building temples for them.

They also thought of the name of this temple, and it was called Qingshan Temple.In the meaning of Jinshan Temple in Qingzhou.

After the monks of Jinshan Temple came, they began to actively preach. The monks began to walk among various groups of people, constantly spreading ideas, and helping people of all walks of life.

This was not possible before.The Dagan Dynasty did not allow Buddhism to preach widely, and the control of temples was also very strict, even Buddhist Dharma meetings were prohibited.

But in Qingzhou Mansion, it seems that all this has been let go.

A few days later, Master Yiku visited Zhang Wei again.This time he didn't come empty-handed.

In the sandalwood brocade box, a lotus flower that seemed to be made of gold lay quietly there.This is the golden lotus of merit.

As soon as Zhang Wei got started, the alchemy furnace in his mind was identified.

Master Yiku said: "Our Buddhist school must do what we say, if Mr. Zhang gives convenience to Buddhism, we will naturally give him convenience."

Zhang Wei nodded and closed the brocade box.Still said: "I allow you to preach in Qingzhou Prefecture, and I promise not to restrict your actions. But you still have to understand that if you commit crimes, I will not show mercy."

Master Yiku nodded slightly, and said: "It's natural. If we really find this kind of thing, we don't need adults to take action. We will solve it ourselves. Buddhism has a compassionate face, and it also has thunderbolt methods."

After chatting for a few words, Master Yiku said goodbye and left.And Zhang Wei also took out the multicolored pottery pot, together with the meritorious golden lotus, Zhang Wei threw the two things into the alchemy furnace in his mind.

After three breaths, a dusty pill appeared in Zhang Wei's hands.

Lotus Plague Elimination Pill, an unattractive pill.Zhang Wei threw it directly into his mouth.

The next moment, Zhang Wei was shocked, and a huge mana rose from his abdomen!Directly poured into his limbs and skeletons!

The Lianhua Plague Elixir can transform diseases into mana, and the five plague gods themselves are the biggest carriers of diseases. The moment this pill is swallowed, those diseases become mana, filling Zhang Wei in one go!
"So much! So full! So full!" Zhang Wei resisted the discomfort all over his body, and then called his wives.

"I'm going to retreat for a period of time. During this time, you can do one thing for me. It's to distribute my statues all over Dagan."

When the ladies heard this, they looked at Zhang Wei in surprise.Zhang Wei rarely retreats.

Hu Jubai immediately asked: "Husband, did something happen?"

"Don't worry, I just want to concentrate on practicing for a while. The world is difficult now. If I am not strong enough, not only can I not protect the people of Qingzhou, but I can't even protect you, so I will retreat for a while. And distribute my statues, and My practice is related. Just help me do it."

Hearing Zhang Wei's words, the girls looked at each other and finally nodded.

Then at this time, Zhang Wei said: "Spread out my god statue, and then say, 'People who are sick, worship my god statue, and they will recover health'."

After he said these words, his body was almost unable to hold on, and then it turned into a ray of light and entered the secret room in the courtyard, and began to retreat.

Several ladies looked at each other, and then went to work separately.

At the same time, Jiang Huahua, who was far away in Tianmen County, also opened her eyes. She stood on a high altar, and then said loudly: "General Jiang Lei Dangkou has an oracle, as long as you enshrine him, you can heal the disease." Disease, immunity to disease!"

Because Tianmen County is too far away from Qingzhou Prefecture, very few of the anti-plague pills refined by Zhang Wei have been handed down here, and only a few people can take them.Most people are still threatened by the disease.

Fortunately, Tianmen County is still sparsely populated. With everyone consciously isolated, the epidemic is not too serious here.

Now, these believers' eyes lit up when they heard Jiang Huahua's words, and then they knelt and kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your mercy!"

In Tianmen County, Zhang Wei's words are more effective than the imperial decree. This is the credibility brought by his great reputation.People here trust him unconditionally.

If there is an epidemic patient in the family, they immediately go home and bow down.Every household in Tianmen County has a statue of Zhang Wei.

After kneeling down for a while, a faint black mist appeared on the patient with the disease, and was absorbed by the idol.

This faint black mist is so obvious that ordinary people can see it clearly.Then the patient said, "I feel better!"

If there is a gangster here, they will sarcastically say that this may be a psychological effect.But in Tianmen County, everyone listened to Zhang Wei.

And it didn't happen to one or two people, but to all the disease patients.

In fact, as long as it is near the statue, the statue can absorb the disease of the people next to it.And this epidemic gas will be transmitted to Zhang Wei's body, and will be transformed into mana by the lotus anti-epidemic pill.

This is Zhang Wei's bold attempt to combine Shinto with everything.This will make it easier for him to absorb the plague.

As for Zhang Wei who is in retreat, the magic power in his body rises like flying on an airplane.

'A year's journey'

'A year's journey'

'A year's journey'

'A year's journey'

Almost every breath of time, Zhang Wei can increase his cultivation base for one year.

And because of the rapid increase in mana, Zhang Wei was a little bit miserable at this time...

The skyrocketing mana began to promote Zhang Wei's practice.In the realm of refining the void, the main thing is to combine the physical body and the soul into one.

The internal organs, limbs and bones are transformed from the physical body into energy, and then merged with the soul, and when the body is completely energized, it can reach the state of harmony.

Is this step a bit like a military solution?Bingjie is to forcibly carry out this state, because it is forced to urge, which will inevitably hurt the source, and then it will be difficult to move an inch when it reaches the state of harmony.

The proper practice is to progress step by step, so as not to harm the original source, and it is possible to go further when you reach the Dao state.

Now a huge amount of mana is filling Zhang Wei's body, and Zhang Wei continues to run the "Day of the Gods", and starts to speed up the transformation of his body.

Cultivation is a kind of hard work, even if Zhang Wei practices every day, the progress is actually hard to see with the naked eye.Slowly accumulating mana, slowly transforming the body, this is the normal progress of the realm of refining the void.

It is normal for one to 200 years of cultivation to pass through refining the void.

But now, the mana in Zhang Wei's body forced his body to change, greatly speeding up his practice!

..................................................................

Time passed quickly, and three months passed in a blink of an eye.With the blessing of money and the joint efforts of thousands of craftsmen, most of Qingshan Temple has been built.

In Qingshan Temple, Master Yichen, the presiding master, is having a meeting with some senior officials of the temple.

"Master Zhang Wei Zhang's statue can indeed absorb the epidemic, should we do something?"

"Why don't you confer Master Zhang the title of 'Bodhisattva of Compassion and Plague Elimination'?"

"That's good, but it's just that without Mr. Zhang's consent, I'm afraid we won't be able to stand up if we investigate it afterwards."

After finishing these words, the few monks present were silent.

In the past few months, the statue of Zhang Wei has been strongly promoted by several wives.It is also said that worshiping gods can eliminate evil and avoid plague.Facts have proved that this idol is really useful!

Although the plague-avoiding pill also has this function, medicinal materials are needed for alchemy.Even if there are yellow gourds, it is impossible for the transformed medicinal materials to supply the whole world.

But the idol is different. The material of this thing is varied, such as stone, wood, steel, gold and silver.Even clay can be used to mold idols.

Invite such a statue, and worship it day and night. Within a few days, the body will be greatly improved. After ten days, the disease will be completely eliminated.

Even if I got sick accidentally outside, and continued to worship when I came back, I recovered after a day or two.

Then, Zhang Wei's idol went crazy!

As mentioned earlier, if a statue needs to have a spirit, it must be "consecrated" in the temple for a period of time.Zhang Wei's temple was originally only in Tianmen County.

But after this statue had this function, various places began to build Zhang Wei's temples of 'General Jiang Lei Dang Kou', and began to spread the orthodoxy!Only with a temple can the gods be consecrated, and then they can be handed over to various families for worship.

Zhang Wei's temple was also established in Qingzhou Prefecture, because Zhang Wei's deity is here, and the efficiency of consecrating god statues here is greatly improved, and it is an important distribution center for god statues.

Zhang Wei's wives are making a lot of money just by 'selling' the idols!Who will invite the gods and not give some incense money?

In this way, the monks of Qingshan Temple became jealous.It's not that they are jealous of the incense money, they are rich and powerful, and they don't care about that little "small money".They are jealous of this huge flow of people and incense.

If Zhang Wei, the "Great General Who Subdues Thunder and Destroys Bandits", is introduced to Buddhism, then Buddhism can also produce this statue, and naturally it can harvest a lot of traffic and incense.

Fomen is best at doing this.

It's just that without Zhang Wei's 'authorization' they can't randomly designate Zhang Wei as a Buddhist Bodhisattva.On the one hand, it has no effect, and on the other hand, I am afraid of offending Zhang Wei.

Unlike letting Zhang Wei convert to Buddhism, this kind of pardon is nothing.Take Guan Yu as an example. He is the Martial Saint Emperor in Taoism and Jialan Bodhisattva in Buddhism.Both parties want him to be a huge attraction in the world.

With Zhang Wei's consent, the Buddhist sect can enshrine Zhang Wei as a Bodhisattva of the Buddhist sect, and it can also attract a large wave of incense.

People in the world have expectations in worshiping gods. If I worship you, you should bless me, let me get rich, safe, get promoted, have more children, etc.However, Zhang Wei is indeed avoiding evil and avoiding the plague. People who believe in it now seem to be spreading the epidemic. How fast the epidemic spreads is how fast Zhang Wei's beliefs spread.

As for Zhang Wei in the secret room, the Taoism in his body is rising steadily at this time.

When his beliefs spread to all parts of Dagan, his practice increased every breath for several years.

In less than a year, Zhang Wei broke through the Void Refinement Realm and reached the Dao Harmony Realm.

The so-called harmony is naturally to find a way to combine.At this level, there are no exercises to learn.It all depends on whether you can 'fit together'.

At this level, the power of thought is greatly enhanced.

........................................................................

As time passed, with the 'death' of the God of Plague and the spread of Zhang Wei's statue, the disease in Dagan finally melted away like snow in spring.

Two years passed, and Zhang Wei's mana grew slower and slower. Finally, his mana was stuck at 99 years.This seems to be a bottleneck, directly stuck Zhang Wei.

As long as one more year of Taoism, Zhang Wei can be promoted to a true immortal.

But this year's Taoism just couldn't increase.This seems to be an upper limit, no matter how much mana is converted, it will be lost in vain.

Zhang Wei in the secret room opened his eyes and hadn't moved his body for more than two years. This movement made the muscles and bones all over his body make a "crackling" sound.

He stood up, feeling the surge of mana all over him.

In this world, there are people who go all the way for true immortals.However, none of the ones who really used mana to prove the way succeeded.Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years of mana should be No. 99 below true immortals.To put it bluntly, none of those true immortals might have such powerful mana.

Mana is what propels a spell, the power that amplifies it.With Zhang Wei's mana, even a simple palm thunder can still unleash the power of a sky thunder!

He is so strong now!

You don't need to talk about realm or technology with him, this is the purest numerical crushing!
Zhang Wei felt it for a while, and then he discovered another thing.

In his heart, there is a lot of merit at this time!
Zhang Wei practiced with the plague energy, which actually solved the epidemic disease that endangered human beings.This has allowed tens of millions of people to survive, which is a huge merit.

After careful calculation, there are more than 800 drops of merit.

Zhang Wei walked out of the secret room, and as soon as he appeared, he saw Hu Qinghao stretching outside the secret room.

This lazy fox was stretching its body vigorously at this time, its long thighs were stretched vigorously, its slender hands were stretched vigorously, and its mouth even yawned loudly.

Then she saw Zhang Wei who appeared at the door of the secret room.At this moment, her face turned red, and she quickly retracted her limbs.Then the next moment, she rushed towards Zhang Wei like the wind, and shouted: "Husband! You are finally out!"

During the more than two years of Zhang Wei's retreat, she didn't know how many times she woke up from a dream and moved to the side, but she didn't touch Zhang Wei's body.How many nights she tossed and turned, just thinking about Zhang Wei.

Seeing Zhang Wei leaving the customs now, wouldn't she be crazy with joy!

Zhang Wei also hugged her, making her hug him like a koala, and then said with a smile, "How long have I been in retreat? You miss me so much."

Hu Qinghao pursed her mouth and said, "You have been in seclusion for two years, one month, and three days! Do you know how I spent these two years, one month, and three days?"

Zhang Wei's heart warmed up, and then he said with a smile: "The past two years, one month and three days, you really have worked hard!"

Hearing this, Hu Qinghao buried her head in his arms like a little pig, and said in a low voice, "You have to make it up to me, why don't you give birth to a son with me."

She has a lawless temperament, and the past two years have made her feel miserable.This time, she and Zhang Wei immediately asked for a child!
"If I had your son, I wouldn't be so boring! I can teach my son formation!" She said happily.

Zhang Wei smiled and said, "Then what if it's a daughter?"

"It's good to be a daughter! Our fox family likes daughters!" She said with a smile, then glanced at Zhang Wei, and said, "It's just that you human race, don't you prefer sons?"

Zhang Wei couldn't help laughing, this vixen actually considered this aspect!He smiled and said, "Whether it's a man or a woman, I like them all."

The two were getting tired, and then, several figures also rushed over at this time.Zhang Wei's scent immediately attracted his wives!
Hu Qinghao twitched her lips in secret before climbing off Zhang Wei under the eyes of a group of women.Then Zhang Wei was surrounded by everyone and began to greet him in a hurry.

I haven't seen you for two years. It's fake if everyone doesn't miss it. Naturally, it was a toss...

..................................................................

The news of Zhang Wei's exit from customs spread quickly.

In Zhang's residence, Father Zhang is having tea with Chen Gong.Chen Gong had a stinky face at this time, while Father Zhang smiled carefully.This is not because Father Zhang wants to please him. In this place, no one can please Father Zhang.

But the current situation is different. This time, Chen Gong came to force the marriage.

"Master Zhang, I won't say much. This delay will last for two or three years. How many years can my Ruier have to delay? If she delays again, she will be a 30-year-old girl!"

In fact, Chen Zhirui is only 25 now... But for an old father, what is the difference between 25 and 30?
What can Father Zhang do at this time, his son's romantic debts can only be recognized with his head down!

He immediately said: "I will definitely press Wei'er on this matter, and I will definitely not delay Rui'er."

Chen Gong snorted, and said, "Zhang Wei is a junior, so it's not easy for me to overwhelm him, but you are of the same generation, so you can't be unreasonable! Within seven days, I hope your family can formally propose marriage to our family!"

Now at this time, Chen Gong doesn't think about the issue of being a big wife or not. Anyway, with Zhang Wei's current reputation, as long as a bright matchmaker is marrying, he is a regular wife!

Over the years, Chen Gong also understood that women in Zhang Wei's family were treated equally regardless of their size.Several of his wives owned properties and kept accounts.There was no rumor of any incompatibility in the backyard.

My daughter, after all, did not see the wrong person.

However, even though this is the case, it is still necessary for the media to be married.You can't live your life like this in a daze!What is abominable is that Zhang Wei, who has been running around all these years, or is unable to retreat.It really makes people angry!
Zhang's father immediately said: "Okay, now that Wei'er is out of customs, I will immediately arrange for him to come to propose marriage."

With Father Zhang's words, Chen Gong's complexion improved a little.

........................................................................

Two days later, Qingzhou New City, Chen Mansion.

Today is the day when the future son-in-law will come to ask for marriage, and the Chen family is busy early in the morning.Kill pigs and cattle, kill chickens and fish.The back kitchen is busy before dawn.

The housekeeper of the Chen family checked everything strictly.As a thousand-year-old family, this butler has seen many things in the world, but today's incident still makes him dare not neglect it.

The Dagan Dynasty has existed in name only.Now each place has its own small imperial court.Although no one is publicly proclaiming the king yet.But anyone with a discerning eye knows that this matter will not drag on for too long.

It's just that there are still goblins entrenched in the barren mountains and ridges among the various places, which prevents the various places from directly attacking and keeps the calm before the storm.

The epidemic disappeared and everything returned to normal.Counting the entire world, Zhang Wei of Qingzhou Prefecture is also one of the most powerful forces.

Zhang Wei occupies the four prefectures of Tai'an, Laizhou, Dengzhou, and Qingzhou, although the area does not seem to be very large.But here is densely populated, and Zhang Wei is also big on steel.

Where there is steel, there are weapons.Where there are people, there are soldiers.

With the addition of windmills, the land of the four prefectures has become a granary, with food and soldiers.This is the land of Longxing!
The Chen family has a thousand years of experience and has seen many court changes, so they are more sensitive to this aspect.This uncle now may be the emperor in the future!If this is the case, then in the future Chen Zhirui will be the queen, and the Chen family will be relatives of the emperor. From a family in one place to a family in one country!

Thinking of this, the housekeeper's heart became even hotter.He might have to witness history, and this sense of heaviness made him dare not neglect even more!
