Longevity starts from Liaozhai

Chapter 46 Immortal Dao
Daoist Qingyun took out a worn-out wolf brush, the hairs on the tip of the brush had been forked, and it was stained with a layer of black dirt that couldn't be washed off. It wasn't ink stains, but something else.

He took out a black ink stick, did not mix it with water, but carefully knocked off small pieces one by one, bit his finger, and dripped his own blood on the inkstone.

Ten fingers connect to the heart, the blood flowing from the fingers is connected with the blood from the heart, and the heart belongs to fire.

The ink dripped on the blood from the fingertips, making a sizzling sound as if it was on fire.Melts away like an ice cube.

Blood and ink melted together, turning into a cinnabar-like color.

Daoist Qingyun had just sucked up blood and ink with his pen, and made a so-called soul-suppressing talisman on a piece of old yellow paper.

This stroke seems simple, but Daoist Qingyun seems to have been sucked away by the yellow paper talisman.

Daoist Qing Yun's expression was a little weak after finishing drawing a soul-suppressing talisman.

He wiped off his sweat, "It's been a long time since I drew a talisman, and my hands are raw."

He wrapped the soul-absorbing rice in yellow paper with a soul-suppressing talisman on it, and handed it to Qin Chuan, "Now, the ghosts inside will not be haunting me for a while."

"Thank you sir."

Daoist Qingyun smiled slightly, "Mr. Qin, I helped you with this. I want to tell you something, and I hope you will consider it."

Wang Fu: "Daoist Qingyun, Liuxian is my good friend, and this matter was also caused to help me. If you have any requests, just ask me."

Qin Chuan said softly: "Brother Wang, don't worry. I think what the Taoist priest wants to mention should be related to this human skin."

"Qin Xianggong is really smart, no wonder he became a junior in the Tongsheng Exam at a young age, that's exactly what Pindao means."

"What does the priest want this human skin for?" Qin Chuan smiled slightly.

Daoist Qingyun said, "Qin Xianggong, this human skin is a magic weapon. Although the poor Taoist can't use it, he can take it back to Lushan Mountain to exchange for a panacea. Maybe he can become a Yin God in this life. If Qin Xianggong agrees Sell ​​this thing to me, as long as the poor have it, Qin Xianggong just asks."

Qin Chuan knew that this was an opportunity to ask about the realm of Taoism, so he took advantage of the opportunity and said, "Dare to ask, what is the Yin God? What is the realm of Taoism? How is it different from martial arts?"

"Qin Xianggong is young and has achieved such achievements in his career. If he wants to be famous in the two rankings in the future, it is a matter of his hands. Even if you don't talk about these things, you will know about them when you become a Jinshi."

The General Examination of the Liang Dynasty is the Jinshi Examination. If you pass the General Examination, no matter how low you rank in the subsequent Palace Examination, you will not fail.The township examination is the examination of people.

The two are the A list and the B list, collectively referred to as the "two lists".

If you are listed on the two rankings, you will naturally be a Jinshi.

The county magistrate who is the lowest rank in the capital and is also the seventh rank, stays in the capital, and is also the head of the department at the last, which is the sixth rank.

Therefore, at such an age, Qin Chuan became a junior member of the provincial government. In the eyes of any knowledgeable person, his worst future would be a magistrate of the seventh rank, and he would basically not be more than 30 years old at that time.

There has always been a saying in official circles that there are thirty old Mingjing scriptures and fifty young Jinshi.

Although Mingjing was abolished in this dynasty, there are still many people who are over [-] years old and have passed the Jinshi examination.

Regardless of the fact that there are many poor people in the world, ordinary people have lived past the age of 40 and are already getting old.But scholars don't care about production. Once they pass the exam, they will enter the country gentry class, live a good life, and there are many people who live past seventy.

Born as a Jinshi, he has been an official for 20 years, and at worst he is also a magistrate. In the past [-] years, not to mention the contacts I have made, and the younger generations I have cultivated.

Therefore, it is by no means empty talk that a Jinshi can affect the rise and fall of the gentry and noble families in the prefecture and county.Putting it in the provincial government also has a lot of influence.

Compared with Qin Chuan's martial arts realm, which is at least bone training, Qin Chuan's status as a scholar also makes Daoist Qing Yun quite awed.

Not to mention, just a few years ago, a senior in the Taoist sect practiced as a yin god and had the realm of repelling things. He became a bone banner and called himself the real person of bones.

As a result, the local magistrate reported to the Ming court that the warriors from Zhenma Division were invited to go out.

Good guy, more than a dozen warriors who have at least practiced bones came to arrest him. The white bone real man had no power to resist, so he was directly arrested in the prison of the government office. After mastering the Tao of practice, he begged hard and ended up with a quick death.

Legend has it that in ancient times, those who had mastered Taoism almost had the ability to move mountains and seas, without fear of imperial power.In modern times, practicing Taoism no longer has the great ability of ancient times.

Among them, it is not that the inheritance of each family has been broken, but that the human way has flourished, and both the divine way and the immortal way have been suppressed, and martial arts have emerged from this.

As long as the way of demons and ghosts can be arrogant for a while in the last years of the dynasty.

The so-called "a country that is about to perish, there must be evildoers" comes from this.

Daoist Qingyun picked up some similar things and told Qin Chuan, emphasizing that everything is inferior but reading is high.The Liang dynasty favored literature and suppressed martial arts, no matter how powerful the military officials were, they would all be under the control of civil officials.

The ability of civil officials to suppress warriors is said to be related to the academies in the capital.

This is the second time Qin Chuan has heard of "Academy."

Lu Tixue also said it before.

After saying this, Taoist Master Qingyun talked about the realm of Taoism.

"The first level of Taoism is not refining and transforming Qi, but sensing the existence of one's own soul. This step is called 'sensing the spirit', and the method is similar to a passage from the Book of Rites University, 'Knowing the end and then having steadiness, and then being able to calm down. After being quiet, you can be at peace, after being at ease, you can worry, and after thinking, you can gain." Therefore, some scholars who understand this principle can easily feel their own spirits when they take Taoist books."

"The second layer is the soul coming out of the body. This step is the most dangerous, and it must not be done during the day. Because the soul that has just come out of the body is very fragile and cannot be stimulated by the sun. Once it is burned by the sun, it will hurt the soul at least, and seriously Then the soul will fly away."

"After leaving the body, the soul can wander at night when it is stable, but it cannot leave the place five miles away from itself. This is called night travel. After the soul is strong, it can travel in the day, but it cannot go beyond the range of ten miles of the body. The first is to become a Yin God, who can use the Yin God to entrust objects and perform many Taoist arts. As long as you don’t meet warriors above bone training, you can come and go calmly. When the Yin God is strong enough to a certain level, you can manifest the holy. That’s already very There are no more than ten powerful Taoist masters in the entire Laoshan Mountain who have cultivated to the realm of manifesting sages."

As for the ability of Xiansheng's future realm, Taoist Master Qingyun, a registered disciple of Laoshan Outer Academy, can't clearly understand.

His greatest wish is to cultivate into a yin god, so that he can return to Laoshan to be an elder and enjoy all the blessings.

After hearing this, Qin Chuan said, "According to what the Taoist priest said, people who practice Taoism seem to have the same effect as ghosts and ghosts. When it comes to manifesting sages, I only hear this word, but it has something to do with the divine way."

Daoist Qingyun: "Qin Xianggong's words are true. I heard that those who become immortals through Taoism are ghost immortals. If ghost immortals establish a sect, regard themselves as gods, and gather incense, they can become immortals. Martial arts come to an end To become an immortal is called a human immortal. As for the earth immortal, it is only heard that there were in the Middle Ages. As for the earth immortal, gods, and ghost immortals, they all have to experience the catastrophe once every 300 years, but human immortals are not in this case, but there are Shouyuan is in danger, and I can't live to be three hundred years old."

"But the matter of becoming a fairy is illusory, not to mention the poor, even my seniors in Laoshan, I'm afraid they would not dare to think about it."

Qin Chuan thought to himself: "I don't have to think about it, because I am."

Now he is more or less aware of the secrets of cultivation in this world today. It is estimated that the mainstream is the way of ghosts and immortals, and the spiritual energy is probably used as an auxiliary.

The masculine blood of martial arts can just restrain the way of ghosts and immortals.

There must be many secrets in it, but the outline of a complete cultivation world gradually emerged in his mind.

"Does the Taoist think that I can practice Taoism?"

Daoist Qingyun smiled wryly: "It's not impossible for Mr. Qin to practice Taoism, but you are at least a martial artist who trains bones at a young age. If you distract yourself from Taoism, you will definitely not be able to unite your soul and body in the future, but this will ruin your ability in martial arts." Future, I'm afraid they will hate me in the future."

"Spirit and flesh are one? What is this saying?"

Qin Chuan knew that the wolf demon's flesh was spirit flesh, but this spirit flesh was definitely not that spirit flesh.

Daoist Qingyun said seriously: "The unity of spirit and body is a key point of martial arts. It is similar to my Daomen's sacred state, which is also called Jindan state. At this point in martial arts, the body and soul will be integrated. In this way, you can See through the changes of the Yin God with the naked eye, and kill it, and have a keen mind. Any slight killing intent will be sensed by this type of person, so be prepared. The body after death will turn into a mass of masculine energy. Once it explodes, Legend has it that ghosts and immortals will be seriously injured. If it weren't for my poor family, I would definitely prefer to practice martial arts, at least I can be a military officer and win a fortune. Find a famous teacher for him, and accumulate various resources for him to concentrate on martial arts, not to mention a bone-training martial artist now."

Wang Fu is 26 years old this year. At this age, he has the martial arts realm of bone training, which is already very young.That's why it seemed that Qin Chuan had at least the martial arts blood in his teens, which had a strong impact on Daoist Qingyun.

When he said this, he sighed softly, "Master, sooner or later you will be a rich man, so you really don't need to be distracted by Taoism. In the future, you will become a high-ranking official, not to mention poor people, you will be the elders of Laoshan, you It is not difficult to invite a family elder."

Qin Chuan immediately grasped a key point. In this way, those wealthy gentry probably also invited worshipers like Daoist Qingyun.

With the background of the Huang family, there must be Taoist masters who are more powerful than Daoist Qingyun to suppress it.

He must pay attention to this in the future, so as not to know that the boat capsizes in the gutter.

In the past, Lu Ti learned how to protect each other, and the Huang family didn't dare to play tricks. Lu Ti learned how to leave. Although Zhou Zhifu treated Qin Chuan well, it was easy to hide the hidden arrows, but it was difficult to guard against them.

The power of Zhou Zhifu is not as great as that of Lu Tixue, so Qin Chuan still needs to be more cautious.

Fortunately, Qin Chuan has developed a little now, and he is not as poor in means and low in strength as he was two months ago.The ability to protect oneself has been greatly improved.
