And said you're not a fairy

Chapter 168 White Lotus Jade Book
"This Mount Ao was originally by the sea."

Chen Yuan was a little surprised.

After standing on the mountain road and watching for a while, after a cool sea breeze blew, Chen Yuan stopped looking and continued to walk up the mountain.

According to the Taoists at Yangliu Temple, the location of the Fire God Temple is at the top of Aoshan Mountain.

There are dozens of small branches in Aoshan Mountain, and four main branches, namely Jufeng, Laoshan, Laoshan and Shishan.

There are three Taoist temples on Aoshan Mountain, and there are practice inheritances.

They are Shangqing Palace, Shenhuo Temple and Baiyun Temple.

Among them, the largest one is the Shangqing Palace. It is said that there are thousands of Taoist priests, big and small. It is located among the four branches.

Next is Baiyun Temple, which lives on the top of Jufeng and is second in strength.

The Shenhuo Temple is the weakest of the three major practice inheritances in Aoshan Mountain, and it also has the fewest number of people. There are only about a hundred people, and it is located on the branch mountain.

The remaining ordinary Taoist temples are distributed in four branches.

Only the top of the offshoot Shishan Mountain is not occupied by Taoist temples. The Taoist temples on Aoshan Mountain have an unwritten rule. Taoist temples without practice and inheritance must not occupy the top of a branch.

Although Shenhuo Temple is the weakest and has the fewest number of people, it is still one of the three major practice inheritances on Mount Ao.

That's why the Taoist last night was so polite to Chen Yuan after he learned that Chen Yuan was invited by the beggar Taoist of Shenhuo Temple.

The main branch of the Shenhuo Temple, Laoshan, is located in the northwest direction.

According to the Taoist's narration, Chen Yuan first found the location of Zhimailao Mountain, and then walked along the ridge to the top of the mountain. After walking for about an hour, he finally arrived at the location of Shenhuo Temple.

Standing outside, Chen Yuan found that the Shenhuo Temple faced south and stood on the top of the mountain. As soon as he went out, he could see the vast sea in the distance. The area was not large, much smaller than Qingyang Temple.

However, the Taoist priests of Shenhuo Temple seem to love the color red, and the Taoist temple in front of them is completely red.

Whether it's doors, walls, beams, or even the tiles on the roof of the Taoist temple, for some unknown reason, red tiles are made of fiery red.

When Chen Yuan arrived, there were more than a dozen young Taoist priests wearing fiery red Taoist robes, sitting neatly in the courtyard in front of the Taoist temple, facing the sea, with their hands in seals on their chests, meditating and practicing, collecting the morning sun Essence.

If it is fast, it will take one stick of incense, if it is slow, it will take two sticks of incense, or even three sticks of incense, before you can see these Taoist priests in fiery red Taoist robes. They will collect a ray of golden sun essence and fall from the sky on top of their heads , they refined and absorbed it into their bodies.

"It seems that the cultivation method of the Shenhuo Temple is related to collecting the essence of the sun."

Chen Yuan said in his heart.

Cultivation is not always the same. The so-called food qi state never feeds not only the clear spirit of the world.

According to Chen Yuan's knowledge, there are many Dao veins in the human world, and the Qi they eat during cultivation is the essence of the sun and the moon.

As well as eating starlight and thunder energy to practice.

Even the essence of life, and the cultivation of yin after death.

However, the latter is mostly a shortcut taken by demons and ghosts, which is not tolerated by Buddhist practitioners.

After Chen Yuan stood aside and watched for a while, he saw some clues to the cultivation method of Shenhuo Temple through the traces of these young Taoist priests.

It just so happened that in the Taoist scriptures he had read before, there were descriptions about the essence of the sun and the moon. Based on this, Chen Yuan soon created a crude method of collecting the essence of the sun, and Chen Yuan was about to try it.

"Fellow Daoist, you have been standing by and watched us practice for a while, what are you doing here at our Shenhuo Temple?"

However, at this time, some Taoist priests were keenly aware of the arrival of Chen Yuan and a mouse and a dog behind him in the process of cultivation. Among them, a young Taoist priest aged 25 or [-] with a dignified gaze opened his eyes. Standing up, walked to Chen Yuan and asked.

There are so many Taoist temples in Aoshan, and he thought that Chen Yuan was a Taoist priest who came from other Taoist temples on Aoshan to learn their magical skills and practice methods.

"The Taoist name Qingming, who is poor, was invited by the "beggar Taoist" in Guiguan to come to visit Guiguan, please report."

When Chen Yuan saw that the other party asked about himself, he said to the Taoist priest.

"Which Taoist temple on the mountain are you a little Taoist priest? It seems that you are younger than me. Where did you know Mr. Beggar?"

The Taoist priest was puzzled.

"Pindao is not a Taoist priest on the mountain, but a wandering Taoist priest who has traveled here. He was born in Fuhu Temple, Linjiang County, and now lives temporarily in Qingyang Temple."

"I had some conflicts with Taoist Beggar in Guiguan before, but we didn't know each other without fighting. After turning the fight into friendship, Taoist Beggar once invited the poor Taoist to come to Aoshan Guiguan as a guest."

Chen Yuan explained patiently.

"Are you the Taoist who defeated Uncle Qidian in mortal martial arts, is said to be able to master the sword and immortal method, and was praised by Uncle Qidian as having the talent of an immortal?"

Hearing the words, the Taoist priest was taken aback for a moment, as if he had thought of something, he recognized Chen Yuan at a glance, and said with surprise in his eyes.

"If what your uncle said was not someone else's, then what he should have said is poverty."

Chen Yuan generously admitted.

This is nothing to admit, after all, he came this time to visit Daoist Beggar.

"Taoist, please wait a moment, I will report to the elders in the temple!"

The Taoist priest's expression changed, and his attitude became respectful, he said to Chen Yuan.

Looking at Chen Yuan's age before, he thought that Chen Yuan was an ordinary Taoist priest who was his peers and younger than him. Only now did he realize that the other party turned out to be an expert who could defeat even his own uncle. Don't dare to neglect.

After finishing speaking, he turned around and ran towards the Taoist temple, shouting as he ran: "Uncle Master, it's terrible, the successor of Fuhu Temple is knocking on the door."

Disappeared through the door in the blink of an eye and disappeared without a trace.

Suddenly, several black lines appeared on Chen Yuan's brow.

He is very sincere this time, how about you come to visit Daoist Beggar and Shenhuo Temple?

He even brought gifts, making it look like he was just looking for trouble.

After the Taoist priest entered, Chen Yuan began to try secretly. He had just invented a method of collecting sun essence.

There is a saying in the Daoist "Seven Signs of Yunji": "Keep the sun and the moon in the mouth, save the sun during the day, keep the moon at night, as big as a ring. The sun is red, with nine purple lights, the moon is yellow, and there are ten white lights. The sun is on the left. The moon is on the right, so that the two scenery and the eyes are in harmony, and the qi is connected..."

Chen Yuan is still unable to collect the essence of the sun and the moon, as described in the Taoism, and make it match his eyes. He can only reluctantly use the essence of the sun.

As Chen Yuan began to perform the exercises, the yang in his body generated Yuanhai and rose from the bottom.

And the big sun in the sky above his head seemed to have sensed it too, responding to Chen Yuan hundreds of millions of miles away, which was different from those young Taoist priests next to him who were like milking cows, who practiced for a long time before picking up a drop of daily essence.

Not long after Chen Yuan began to practice, there were continuous drops of sun essence on Chen Yuan's head, like it was raining.

The number of Nishiki in a place is limited, and the Nishiki on Chen Yuan's side keeps falling, and the other Taoist priests have no more Nishiki to pick.

Many young Taoist priests who noticed the abnormality and woke up from practice looked at Chen Yuan. Then their pupils suddenly shrank, and they were stunned by the scene in front of them.

They practiced for an hour, and at most they only collected three or four drops of daily essence, and they had never seen anyone practice like Chen Yuan. Collecting daily essence was like raining.

At this moment, the young Taoist priest who had just entered to report the news, followed the two old Taoist priests and came out of the Taoist temple.

One of them was wearing a sloppy and dirty Taoist robe, with greasy hair, who looked more like a beggar than a Taoist, and they happened to see this scene.

"This……"

The young Taoist priest who had just delivered the letter, and the old Taoist priest Chen Yuan didn't know were all stunned in place.

"I just watched the disciples of Guiguan practice, and I occasionally felt something, so I created a method of collecting Japanese essence, I hope you don't blame it."

Chen Yuan also noticed the arrival of the three of them, and immediately withdrew the cultivation method. Immediately, he had just collected it on the top of his head, and it was very hot, and the sun essence falling like raindrops gradually dispersed.

To be honest, his method is very crude. It can only collect the sun essence, but it cannot refine it.

He didn't even think he had created it just now. A complete cultivation method can only be regarded as a flash of inspiration in his mind and he caught it.

However, Chen Yuan was not discouraged. With his current level of cultivation, it was too early to create a method of cultivation, but when his cultivation reached a certain level, this would definitely be something he would do in the future.

"Taiyi Jinhua Tenet" was created by his master, and it is his master's way, but it is not necessarily his way.

"you……"

Seeing this scene, the young Taoist priest who had just delivered the letter looked a little annoyed, thinking that Chen Yuan had stolen their practice method of the Shenhuo Temple when he was just watching.

"Qingxuan, this practice method is superficial, and it is indeed not the practice method of our Shenhuo Temple."

But he was stopped by the gray-haired old Taoist next to the beggar Taoist.

After finishing speaking, he looked at Chen Yuan and exclaimed, "Friend Daoist, you have such a high level of comprehension."

Just being able to watch the disciples of the Shenhuo Temple practice has created a method of cultivation. Although it is very rough and incomplete, this understanding alone is already terrifying enough.

"Fellow Daoist, after waiting for you for many days, you are finally here. The old Taoist thought you would not come."

After the Qidian Taoist was surprised, he was very happy to see Chen Yuan and strode towards Chen Yuan.

"Pindao has some things, and I need to trouble fellow daoists. Ask fellow daoists to inquire, and come when they are happy. I hope fellow daoists will not blame you."

Chen Yuan looked at the Daoist Beggar walking in front of him and smiled.

"Fellow Taoist, come to think of it, you all belong to the Taoist sect and are all one family, so there is no need to be polite."

The beggar Taoist said.

"By the way, the old Taoist is here to introduce you. This is the master of the Shenhuo Temple, and also the senior brother of the old Taoist. His Taoist name is Jin Yan."

Daoist Qidian explained to Chen Yuan that the old Taoist who just spoke beside him.

"Senior brother, let me introduce you. He is the successor of Fu Hu Guan who I told you last time that he was defeated by him and his skills are not as good as others."

Then Daoist Beggar introduced Chen Yuan to another old Taoist beside him.

When the Taoist Qidian introduced him, Chen Yuan looked at the old Taoist and saw that he was wearing a fiery red Taoist robe with golden lotus patterns embroidered on the chest and sleeves. He wore a fishtail crown on his head and held a whisk in his right hand.

As the master of one view, the other party is not as sloppy as Taoist beggar, dressed in a dignified manner, with snow-white hair tied into a bun, well-groomed, much older than beggar, but looks hale and hearty , very demeanor of a master of observation.

In addition, the opponent's body seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and it felt more unfathomable than the beggar Taoist next to him. Chen Yuan's heart moved, and he was sure that the temple master was a practitioner of the life realm.

As for the specific realm of cultivation, whether it is the inner scene or the flawless realm, Chen Yuan doesn't know.

While Chen Yuan was looking at the master of the Shenhuo temple, the master of the Shenhuo temple was also looking at Chen Yuan.

I saw the young Taoist in front of me, wearing an ordinary blue Taoist robe. He was slender, handsome, and had an extraordinary temperament. He looked like a piece of pure white jade, or like a banished immortal who had fallen into the world. He was carrying a box on his back. You can vaguely feel the sharp aura.

The other party probably practiced the method of sword fairy, but he is a rare practitioner of sword fairy method in the world.

He looked at Chen Yuan's cultivation level again and found that although Chen Yuan was young, he was already at the level of cultivation like his junior brother Qidian.

"It's not unfair to lose to fellow Taoist Qi Diao."

After looking at Chen Yuan for a while, Taoist Jin Yan sighed.

"It's the first time we met, it's not easy to come to the door empty-handed, so I brought some wild fruits picked by the roadside as a gift, please don't be disgusted."

Just at this moment, Chen Yuan took out a few stalks of wild carambola that he picked on the road and put into his arms with the "Hutian Curse".

"Fellow Taoist, just come. Do you need any gifts?"

Seeing the few slings of wild fruits in Chen Yuan's arms, Daoist Beggar happily took them.

Although this wild fruit is not a precious thing, the etiquette is not as important as the intention.

Chen Yuan came to the house for the first time and brought a gift, which was quite pleasant.

"Put this fruit in an airtight container for two days, and it will be delicious when ripe."

Chen Yuan spoke of humanity to the beggar.

"Thank you buddy."

Daoist Jin Yan thanked him beside him.

"Brother, the visitor is a guest, let's invite fellow Taoists into the temple to chat."

At this time, Daoist Beggar reminded him.

"Alright."

Jin Yan agreed.

"Qingxuan, you stay and continue to lead the brothers to practice."

When Chen Yuan and the three of them entered, Daoist Beggar ordered the young Taoist who had just delivered the letter for Chen Yuan.

"As ordered."

The Taoist named Qingxuan agreed to come down and say.

"He is the senior brother of the disciples of the Shenhuo Temple. The old Taoist and senior brothers do not care about cultivation. On weekdays, he is responsible for supervising the cultivation of the disciples of the Shenhuo Temple."

When entering, Taoist Qidian took the opportunity to introduce Chen Yuan.

"I see, Guiguan is really full of talents."

Chen Yuan praised.

"Brother, you are the shopkeeper. Your senior brother, I am the master of Shenhuo Temple. I am busy with work and practice on weekdays, but I will still spare time to check the cultivation of the disciples of Shenhuo Temple."

Taoist Jin Yan, the master of the Shenhuo Temple, corrected Taoist Beggar's statement.

Taoist Qidian didn't even reply, pretending not to hear what his senior fellow apprentice Jin Yan said. Taoist Jin Yan looked at his younger brother Taoist Qidian with a helpless expression.

……

Invite Chen Yuan into Shenhuo Temple, and two Taoists, Qi Dian and Jin Yan, entertain Chen Yuan in the main hall of Shenhuo Temple.

And the gods enshrined in the main hall are all of the Three Purities and Four Royals, and there is no difference from other places.

After ordering the little Taoist priests in the audience to serve tea to Chen Yuan.

Daoist Beggar sitting next to Daoist Jin Yan said to Chen Yuan: "Fellow Daoist, you came at the right time, you will be two days late, old Daoist, I have to go out."

Chen Yuan took a sip of tea, put down the cup and said, "Then it seems that Pindao came at the right time."

Daoist Qidian asked Chen Yuan: "Fellow Daoist, you didn't come early or late, but you came at this time. Just now you said that you have something to ask the old Taoist. I don't know what it is?"

Seeing that the rightful master mentioned this matter, Chen Yuan said to Daoist Beggar and Daoist Jin Yan who was sitting at the master's seat: "You two fellow Taoists, have you heard of Bailian Dao?"

Bailian said?
Chen Yuan's words made the expressions of Taoist Qidian and Taoist Jin Yan change slightly.

After seeing the expressions of the two, Chen Yuan secretly nodded in his heart. It seems that most practitioners have heard of Bailian Dao.

In this way, things will be easy to handle.

"Of course I've heard of it, but since Bai Lian Dao was wiped out by the imperial court a hundred years ago, he has disappeared and never appeared again."

Beggars are humane.

"No, in fact, Bailiandao has reappeared in the world."

Chen Yuan shook his head.

Later, when Chen Yuan traveled over here, he met a monster in Huayang Station who practiced animal art with evil methods. He almost lost his life and was rescued by an immortal. Later, he encountered this monster again in Linjiang County and Jianghuai City. Things have been told.

"Fellow Daoist, aren't you the descendant of Fuhuguan? How did you become a disciple of the Immortal again?"

After listening to Chen Yuan's narration, Daoist Qidian and Taoist Jin Yan both had expressions of shock and surprise on their faces, Taoist Qidian asked Chen Yuan.

"Before Pindao didn't have a degree certificate, it was inconvenient to go out and walk, so he placed the order at Fuhu Temple."

Chen Yuan explained why.

"It's no wonder that you have such a Taoist cultivation at such a young age, and you can watch disciples practice, so you can create the method of cultivation. It turns out that you are a disciple of an immortal, so it makes sense."

Taoist Jin Yan was beside him, his eyes were full of surprise.

He had heard from his junior brother before, and he was still wondering that Fuhu Temple had obviously declined, not to mention comparing it with Shangqing Palace on Aoshan Mountain, even it was incomparable with Shenhuo Temple.

And how could he cultivate someone who was already at the cultivation level at a young age, and whose cultivation strength was not inferior to his own junior who had been cultivating for decades.

It turned out that the other party had a fortuitous encounter, and his talent and comprehension were excellent, so he was favored by the immortal and accepted as a disciple.

It is the disciple of the immortal!

"According to Fellow Daoist, it is indeed possible that the person behind the scenes is Bai Lian Dao reborn."

Taoist Jin Yan, who was sitting at the main seat, was thoughtful.

"Senior brother, according to fellow Taoist, he tracked down the person behind the scenes who is suspected to be Taoist Bailian. He has come to Aoshan for a while, and his purpose is to retrieve something. Then the other party's goal is..."

Daoist Beggar also frowned and pondered.

He suddenly thought of something, and his senior brother Taoist Jin Yan, who also thought of the answer, collided with each other.

"White Lotus Jade Book"!
Taoist Qidian and Taoist Jinyan said in unison.

"What is the "White Lotus Jade Book"?"

Chen Yuan saw that the expressions of the two were different, and he knew some news that he didn't know, so he asked curiously.

"Fellow Taoists don't know that there are three treasures in the White Lotus Path, namely the White Lotus Jade Book, the Mind Mirror, and the Burning Wood Relic."

"Among them, the "Bailian Jade Book" is a secret book and a magic weapon. It is said that the Patriarch Bailian who created the Bailian Dao back then learned the truth from the "White Lotus Jade Book" because he got this "White Lotus Jade Book". There are many spells, and the method of cultivating spells with evil methods."

"Therefore, this "Bailian Jade Book" is also a token of the succession of the Bailian Taoists in the past dynasties. However, in the battle between the imperial court and Bailian Tao a hundred years ago, some seniors from the Shangqing Palace in Aoshan also participated in that battle. Later, the "White Lotus Jade Book" "It seems to have been brought back to Aoshan and placed in the Shangqing Palace."

"The Taoist Bailian came to Aoshan, probably because of the "Bailian Jade Book"."

Daoist Beggar explained to Chen Yuan.

"Then let's go and inform Shangqing Palace now, and let them take precautions."

Chen Yuan stood up and said.

According to Daoist Qidian, this "Bailian Jade Book" is very important to Bailian Dao. If it is really taken away by Daoist Bailian, I am afraid that Bailian Dao will revive again soon.

"Let's go to Shangqing Palace."

Taoist Jin Yan also felt that this was a big matter, so he stood up, frowned and pondered, and after walking around twice, he made a decision.

Then the group of three went out and rushed to Shangqing Palace in a hurry.

"Fellow Daoist, are they your pet animals?"

Instruct Taoist Priest Haoguan, when going out, Taoist Jin Yan noticed Xue Niang and Xiao Huang following behind Chen Yuan, and he asked Chen Yuan.

"good."

Chen Yuan nodded.

"The rat and the dog, one is at the level of demon alchemy, and the other has already started to breathe. It will soon turn from a beast to a demon. It is their chance that they can follow fellow daoists."

Taoist Jin Yan sighed.

"They all have some fate with Pindao."

Chen Yuan laughed.

While talking, he walked for almost an hour this time before rushing from the Shenhuo Temple to the Jumai Peak where the Shangqing Palace is located.

PS: The previous Qingyang Temple has been changed to Yangliu Temple, everyone should know.
