The heavens begin from the Daluo Hall

Chapter 48
After chatting for a few words, the two of them looked at their surroundings.

Wu Ming was the first to notice something was wrong: "The daylight and time are not in line with the outside world. Could it be that it has been a long time since I conferred the talisman? Or is the passage of time in the hall different from that outside?"

Hearing this, Daoist Qi nodded slightly and said: "That's right, your spiritual sense is very keen. There is no sun, moon, and hour in the blessed land, but because of a treasure in Laoshan [Sun, Moon, Longitude, and Latitude Instrument], there are four seasons and seasons. It’s just a little bit different from the outside world, it’s an hour or two slower.”

It turned out so, Wu Ming looked up at the sky, it was noon before he came in, now the sun is setting and the sunset is beautiful.

He retracted his gaze, looked around, and realized that he was on a cold island, and there was a stretch of pavilions in the distance. He was just about to ask where this place was.

On the side, Daoist Qi said happily: "This is the residence of the General Taoist Academy. I didn't expect Zhong Tianyi to lead us here. It just so happens that you also need to receive benefits and register the mountain you want to occupy."

Immediately, Wu Ming went happily, and the two of them flew in mid-air by the wind, looking down to the island, there were some mortal servants living on the island, other than that it was relatively deserted, with almost no Taoists coming and going, which was completely different from the Taoist scene outside.

After thinking about it, he realized that since the outside world has a large base of Taoists, naturally many people come to the Taoist Academy to accept tasks, while the base of deacons and elders here is small, and most of them are practicing in seclusion.

After a while, the two entered the Taoist temple and went straight to the counter. A Taoist priest came out to greet them, and took out a Taoist map. After spreading it out, there was a detailed map of Laoshan. There are thousands of peaks in all, and Wu Ming asked him to choose one.

The young man looked carefully and found that some of the peaks marked in red were occupied by people. Originally, he wanted to get closer to Daoist Qi, but unfortunately, the nearby peaks around Qinzhuo Peak were occupied by people.

In the end, Wu Ming picked and picked, and chose a mountain in the depths of Laoshan Mountain, close to the blessed land of the main peak, because it is adjacent to the dragon vein, the degree of spiritual qi is relatively high, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful. of.

Although he didn't do any on-the-spot investigation, there's no need to worry about the goods being wrong. This Dao map is also a rare treasure, similar to an electronic 3D map, which can be zoomed in and out, down to every plant and tree.

Of course, the selection of the mountain cave is only the first step. Afterwards, the cave will be managed. To manage the mountain, you need to recruit your own staff.

"By the way!" Wu Ming suddenly remembered something, and said to Qi Daochang with a smile: "I can't find a manpower for many things in Xinli Mountain, can I ask you for help from one or two people?"

The white-haired old man said generously: "It's okay, just a few people around, who do you want?"

Wu Ming smiled slightly and said: "I remember a Taoist named Guo Su who brought me into Qinzhuo Peak back then. He handles common affairs in an orderly manner. He is a talent. I dare to ask you for it."

This Guo Su was the middle-aged Taoist who concealed Daoist Qi's advice and asked him for bribes. If it wasn't for Wu Ming's cleverness, otherwise he would not be able to learn the secrets of the three barriers of Taoism, resulting in insanity and failure to explore the world.

If it is big, it is revenge for obstructing the way, but if it is small, this kind of behavior is also very intrusive. Wu Ming was silent before, but the time has not come. Not easy.

Of course, Wu Ming didn't want to do anything to Guo Su, but just let him experience the taste of wearing small shoes, pushed a lot of things to him, and polished him with the life of 996.

But unexpectedly, Daoist Qi frowned when he heard about this person, and said, "Master Wu, if other old Taoists want you to come, but this person is no longer in Laoshan."

Wu Ming said in a daze, "Not in Laoshan, what do you mean?"

Daoist Qi replied: "Guo Su has already applied to the monastery to give up cultivating Taoism, and was approved to return to his hometown to teach a month ago. It is estimated that he will spend his whole life wandering among mortals."

In Laoshan, not all Taoists can be promoted to the Yin God. Many people will apply for "graduation" after they have no hope of practicing Taoism, and return to their hometowns to do other things, such as teaching and educating people, or being an official, or even establishing a wild Taoist temple to deal with the rural areas. Some trivial matters, doing things, providing yizhuang services, etc.

Some Taoists even acted as barefoot doctors and alchemists, measuring the world with their feet, in an attempt to find opportunities for Taoism.

These Laoshan Mountains are all allowed, which is why the top schools are called Taoism. The Taoists cultivated are continuously exported to the outside world, spreading all over the world, and their ideas are deeply rooted in the hearts of all living beings. This place is just the headquarters.

Not only that, many Taoist priests and deacons will also leave Laoshan to establish small Taoist sects outside, and the relationship with Laoshan is broken, so Shentongjing is called "abbot" in the outside world.

Wu Ming was dumbfounded. He guessed that Guo Su was trying to make a fortune before leaving, so he hit him, and he just left after making a profit. He had no choice but to do so.

I have never thought that I have learned some lessons from the little people, and it is interesting to think about it.

As for beating or something, it's fine, Wu Ming's pattern is not so small, and he can't afford to lose this person when he goes to his hometown to teach him a lesson.

Wu Ming lost interest and said: "Since you leave the sect, it's fine, just pick a few people for me."

If the Taoist chief of each mountain peak recruits mortals, they will prepare their own supplies, but this is easy for ascetics, either use wood magic to farm, or simply go down the mountain to find a merchant and let him offer sacrifices.

However, Wu Ming thought that it would be good if he could take care of his cave, he was too lazy to manage power, so he could just find two or three mortals to deal with the sundries.

"Okay." Daoist Qi nodded, thinking that with the aptitude of a young man, he would become a true disciple in a short time, and then he would find an island in the blessed land and take care of it carefully.

After discussing the matter of the Dongfu, the two asked the Taoists in the courtyard about the welfare of the newly promoted Taoists.

The Taoist smiled and said: "You are a candidate for true teaching. According to the regulations, in addition to the monthly salary of [-] talismans, there is another [-] talismans to receive, but these are not guaranteed. If someone initiates a fight against you, you will lose." It belongs to others."

After hearing this, Wu Mingxi understood that this was the difference from the modern non-responsible basic salary and bonuses. The so-called discussion of Taoism and fighting skills were all limited to the same realm, which could sharpen one's mind and avoid raising a bunch of ivory tower waste.

"You don't have to worry about this rule." Daoist Qi said with a smile: "The patriarch set up this rule to sharpen the candidates for the true biography. Unfortunately, any system will decay, and few people are willing to offend the candidates for the true biography."

Wu Ming lamented that today's Taoist priests have lost the spirit of the group when they opened the sect.

Then there are the benefits of spells. Each new Taoist priest is equipped with two second-level spells, which can be chosen arbitrarily.

He asked the deacon of the monastery for a booklet, which contained dazzling spells.

Sprinkling Beans into Soldiers (Level [-]): ​​By concocting spirit beans with special means, you can temporarily summon a Hercules, with [-] Taoist skills.

Five Ghosts Removal Technique (Level 25): ​​Find the five kinds of people who died violently. The way of death needs to be miserable, and there is resentment during life. Refining the corpse into oil, engraving a three-inch ghost image talisman, dripping the oil on it, burying the yin veins in the earth, and dying Formed into five fierce ghosts, and then mixed with Xuanyin Qi to refine, the spell can be mastered, and the five ghosts can be summoned from the talisman seeds to carry objects at any time.

Calamity Relief Method (Level [-]): ​​Refining the blessings and stars of heaven and earth, practicing spells, can be transformed into great fortune at critical moments to relieve disasters, and can expel some minor disasters and diseases after mastering it. Dao Gong [-].

………………

Laoshan Taoist treasures are rich, ranging from the art of changing the sky, the method of tracking luck, to summoning beasts, breathing fire and water, swordsmanship and escapism, and even vicious heresy.

What moved Wu Ming the most was the technique of warding off disasters. He had a premonition that this technique was especially suitable for his own great witch blood, and with the rare treasure [Suihou Bead], he would definitely be able to practice this technique like a broken bamboo. .

"Unfortunately, I don't have enough choices. Even if I add the remaining Taoist skills, I can only exchange for three." Wu Ming secretly said, he was promoted to a Taoist priest in a few months, and he didn't have any accumulation during the Taoist period. Now he is poor and white.

He secretly calculated what resources he had and what spells he needed most.

"A method of controlling the wind is a must for every Taoist priest. It has the foundation of the extraordinary ability of [Resisting the Wind by Void]. It is almost the first spell that Taoists have mastered, and life-saving is the key point."

"In addition, I have a second-level Wenqu talisman and a seven-shade talisman that can absorb evil weapons and upgrade them. If I practice these two types of spells, I will definitely achieve great success soon." Wu Ming thought to himself, thinking of his two treasures.

At the level of Taoist priests who confer talismans, one must also gain insight into the full true meaning of spells, and then condense the corresponding talisman seeds in the Yinshen, which is considered a great achievement, so the second-level Taoism is also called [true talisman spell].

Moreover, the boundary between exercises and spells has been blurred. After continuous development, spells can be transformed into successful methods. It is said that the first exercises practiced by Taoist soldiers and warriors were all transformed from Zhenlu-level Taoism.

Nowadays, there is a typical Shifang Alien Beast Jue in the army. He saw the prototype spell in the exchange booklet. The full version of the Mountain and Sea Beast Jue has the opportunity to use martial arts to enter the Tao, bypass the three barriers of Taoism, gather the seeds of martial arts talismans, and achieve Yin in an alternative way. god.

After all, one of the most important indicators for a genius warrior is to comprehend the [True Meaning of Martial Arts] and develop the spirit of the brain.

However, this road is too difficult. Most warriors do not gradually come into contact with the true meaning until they reach the "Martial Sage". With the art of transforming the essence into the spirit, refining the essence and returning to the spirit to achieve the spirit of Yin.
