Nine idlers

Chapter 42 Mountain Yujuan Ling

After Xu Changqing left Wuhan, he kept going northward. On the way, he found that there were many demon practitioners mixed among the officers and soldiers, checking passers-by.This is a countermeasure that the Xuangang Heavenly Demon has already noticed the actions of the Southern Xia Jiuliu sect.But everyone knows that it is impossible for these demon practitioners who have just started to guard against those low-level sects who possess all kinds of weird Taoism.The reason why I still do these useless efforts is to give a warning to the lower sects, warning them that I already know their every move, so as to deter some sects who are not firm in their confidence.

However, Xuangang Tianmo didn't seem to notice that Xu Changqing had left Chen Jiachong. The appearance of clouds and mist on Taohua Mountain made him mistakenly think that he was still on Taohua Mountain, so he only strictly guarded Suzhou, Yangzhou, Henan and Anhui. As for Hubei and Shaanxi A lot of slack.So Xu Changqing went straight north from Hubei, bypassed Shaanxi, escaped the layers of defenses of the Xuangang Heavenly Demon, and entered Shanxi.The reason why he didn't go directly from Taiyuan to Tianjin, but continued to detour along the border of Henan to Yunchengping Township, was mainly because this place used to be an ancient battlefield, and the soldiers who died and injured here accumulated over thousands of years Hundreds of thousands of fighting spirits.

Although the imperial courts of all dynasties would do great things here to save the fighting spirits, less than half of the fighting spirits could really be saved. Therefore, in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di, then King of Yan, built three deep underground towns here. The soul tower holds all the fighting spirits in it, and uses the fate of the Ming Dynasty to frighten them.Later, Zhang Xianzhong took advantage of the collapse of the Ming Dynasty and the decline of the national fortune, massacred the people here, and used the resentment of the souls of the people to destroy the three soul-suppressing towers, and summoned the fighting spirits to form a Yin army.However, before it was finished, he was destroyed by Prince Su Hauge. Later, Shunzhi invited eminent monks from various sects to restore the original damaged Zhenhun Pagoda. Wan Zhanhun.

Now that the fate of the Qing Dynasty is exhausted, it is the best time to obtain these war spirits.Among the many underlings of the Xuangang Heavenly Demon, there is a right-hand man named Yin Kui, the great sage of the Netherworld, who practices Mangshan Huangquan Dao.He was originally the eldest disciple of Emperor Qianyuan in Mangshan Mountain. Since Emperor Qianyuan was imprisoned, he turned to the Xuangang Heavenly Demon and offered his natal soul orb to show his loyalty.His natal magic weapon is called the Wangui Banner, and its power is comparable to that of the Xuangang Demon's Heavenly Demon Banner.

This time the Xuangang Heavenly Demon is going against the sky, the strength of his side must be strengthened, and the best way to enhance the strength of the Nether Great Sage is to let the Wangui Banner absorb hundreds of thousands of battle spirits and promote it to the Yellow Spring Banner.Although in this case, Yinkui's strength may surpass Xuangang Tianmo, but Xuangang Tianmo has Yinkui's natal soul orb in his hand, which can kill him at any time, so he is not afraid of his backlash.

Xu Changqing came here because he decided to find a way to get rid of Yin Kui before the big battle started, and cut off one arm of Xuangang Tianmo to halve his strength.So after calculating that April [-]th is the Sha Chong Seven Stars Bureau, he guessed that Shi Yinkui would definitely use the evil spirit of heaven and earth to destroy the Soul Suppressing Tower, and then absorb the released battle spirits to refine the power of the Ten Thousand Ghost Banners , so he came here early to prepare.

On the way, Xu Changqing first used the three methods of 'medicine', food, and talismans to recuperate the bodies of his two disciples. It only took a few days for their bodies to recover like ordinary children. Huang Juan's Hysteria is almost better.However, what surprised Xu Changqing was that Huang Juan was originally thought to be in good health and had no disabilities, but later found out that she was incurable. , Change it to Tiancanmen.

Although the brothers and sisters Huang Shan and Huang Juan had some physical defects, Xu Changqing still decided to pass on the orthodox tradition of Jiuliu Idlers to them, and before formally imparting the Dharma, he also accepted Huang Juan as an official disciple, completely breaking the Jiuliu Tradition of the idler's single pass.

The transmission method of the Jiuliu Xianren lineage is different from that of other Taoists. The first generation of Jiuliu Xianren, on the basis of an ancient Taoist method, mixed with the Buddha's empowerment and expressiveness, created a unique style of this school. Taoism.It can put the Taoism that needs to be taught in the spiritual consciousness one by one, and then use the method of empowering and opening the veins to help the disciples complete the foundation building of the Shangqing Jiuzhuan Jindan**, and increase the strength of the disciples to Initial stage of refining gas.In the future, with the improvement of strength, the Taoism sealed in the spiritual consciousness will be gradually released, and finally achieve the ultimate goal of refining Qi and refining Qi to transform God into a golden pill and transform the primordial spirit.It is precisely because this kind of desire is too domineering, it is not gradual, and it has caused certain damage to the body and consciousness, so after reaching the bottleneck of refining and transforming Qi, if you want to form a golden pill, you can't just rely on hard work Those who can break through must borrow external forces such as heaven and earth spirits to make them break through difficulties.

For his two disciples, Xu Changqing did not completely follow the methods handed down from generation to generation to improve their cultivation, but only used the method of empowerment to engrave the natal and Taoist methods of the Jiuliu Xianren's lineage on their gods. Then use the aura of heaven and earth to help them refine their bodies in a month, and they will complete the hundred-day foundation building by themselves.Although the speed of improvement in this way will be very slow, but it does not have the forty deadlines of the nine-year-old idlers in the past, and there is no need to use heaven and earth spiritual objects to form a golden core, and only need continuous practice to make a breakthrough.

Xu Changqing didn't pass on his Jiuliu Dao to them, firstly because they couldn't practice it at all, and secondly because they also had certain selfishness, thinking that his Jiuliu Dao had almost broken away from the Daoism of Jiuliu idlers, so there was no need to include it. In the inheritance of the Nine Stream Idlers.

Because of Xu Changqing's meticulous care, the two brothers and sisters of the Huang family, who had never felt warm, were very moved. They also obeyed Xu Changqing's words and actively practiced according to his instructions every day.They did not disappoint Xu Changqing. The hundred-day foundation building, which originally took at least 20 days to complete, was completed in only three days after being washed by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.Although there is a relationship between heaven and earth aura, what is more important is that when they were practicing, Xu Changqing deliberately arranged them together to use the method of yin and yang reconciliation, so that the two brothers and sisters could reach the state of yin and yang, and the final practice effect was twice the result with half the effort.Although after starting to practice the Nine Turns of the Supreme Purity Golden Elixir, it is no longer possible to refine the body and mind with the aura of heaven and earth, but the method of reconciling yin and yang can also improve the cultivation of the brother and sister rapidly, and the gains and losses are incomparable.

After completing the foundation building, they began to formally practice the Refining and Transforming Qi chapter of the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir of the Shangqing Dynasty, and part of the Taoism sealed in their spiritual consciousness was also unlocked for them to use.At this time, the learning of the two brothers and sisters began to be polarized. Among them, Huangshan majored in Taoism and knew nothing about numerology, while Huang Juan majored in numerology and had little interest in Taoism. Although I don’t know why this happened, but Xu Changqing still let nature take its course.Because they opened their minds with the method of empowerment, they learned everything very quickly. They almost finished learning all the miscellaneous books in Xu Changqing's sleeves along the way, which made them have a good understanding of Taoism and numerology. Without their own understanding, what is lacking is only experience.

After entering the range of Ping Township, Xu Changqing had already heard about the ban of Tang Tianhao, the fourth master of the Tang family. Effective.Huang Juan had previously used the method of determining the world with one hand to deduce that Tang Wei's wedding would end unhappy, and it seemed to be related to Xu Changqing's trip to the north.After Xu Changqing entered Shanxi, all the methods of pushing fate seemed to be abolished, and even the self-created Tianluo Doushu couldn't play any role, so while there was still time, he wanted to verify whether Huang Juan pushed fate. At the same time, check what's wrong with your second sense of mind, in case you make a mistake when dealing with Yin Kui.

After Xu Changqing said a few polite words, the convoy continued on the road, and Xu Changqing also sat in the gift carriage. At this time, Huang Juan became obsessed with numerology again, and began to use the number of Zhou Tian Dayan to calculate the Tang Dynasty. Wei Wei's fortune, while Huangshan was bored watching his sister holding 55 peach sticks and fumbling around.

"Master, please find something for me to do! I'm bored sitting here alone." After getting along for nearly two months, Huangshan has also become cheerful, no longer the timid one at the beginning She also learned to act like a baby when talking to Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing, who closed his eyes and rested his mind, was slowly nourishing the five internal organs with the five elements of heaven and earth, and watched the five elements aura absorbed and leaked out by the Dingtian Hunyuan Pearl. After hearing Huangshan's words, he smiled slightly without opening his eyes, and said, "You didn't Did you draw a dust-proof talisman? It’s too dry and dusty here, just use it.”

"Master, don't you have the five-element Taoism to avoid dust?" Huang Shan asked after he didn't understand.

Huang Juan seemed to have made the calculations, and received the peach wood sign, and said, "Brother, Master means to use it for these uncles and aunts who are on their way!"

Huang Shan looked at his sister, obviously still a little bit confused, and asked: "Master, is that so?"

Xu Changqing is a bit confused about himself as a big disciple. He learns Taoism very quickly, and he is not afraid of hardship or tiredness when practicing, but he is much duller and kind-hearted. A bird he raises will cry for a long time when it dies. .In contrast, Huang Juan seems to be more in line with Xu Changqing's requirements for accepting apprentices. She is calm, intelligent, and knows how to infer other things from one instance. Maybe it is because of blindness. She has a very accurate grasp of people's hearts. what to do.It’s good, but I really don’t like Taoism. Apart from practicing Shangqing Jiuzhuan Jindan ** every day, I spend the rest of my time studying the numerology taught by Xu Changqing. So far, even Zhang Daofu can’t be ignited with Sanyang True Fire. .

Xu Changqing thought of the strange habits of the two brothers and sisters, he couldn't help sighing, nodded, and said, "Yes."

Huang Shan took out the dust-avoiding talisman that he had drawn so hard, and when people were not paying attention, he pushed the Sanyang real fire with all his strength to ignite it, and recited the mantra in his mouth.When the talisman paper was burned, dozens of yellow auras that were invisible to the naked eye shot out from the fingertips of Huangshan's right hand, rushing into the surrounding people and objects, and the dust on their bodies fell unconsciously. A group of people also looked radiant.

At this time, Huang Juan seemed to hear Xu Changqing's thoughts from the sigh just now. She sat next to him, hugged his arms with both hands, leaned on his arms and said, "Master, brother and I will work hard to practice Taoism." Yes, don't worry about us."

"You little guy, you can even guess what Master is thinking." Xu Changqing smiled, 'rubbed' her hair pitifully, then beckoned Huang Shan to sit over, and asked, "Are you Tang Wei?" What's the deal with your life?"

Huang Juan sighed, and said: "From today onwards, his fortune will take a sharp turn, his life will become full of ups and downs, and he will eventually run away frustrated, leave his hometown, and die in a foreign country. What a poor man!"

"It's fine to know this in your heart, don't say it!" Xu Changqing was stunned, he didn't expect Tang Wei to end up like this, although he did see that it was difficult to leave his hometown just now, but in the end he died as a guest in a foreign country. expected.

"Hmm! My disciple won't say it." Huang Juan nodded.

The convoy was driving very fast, and they had already arrived in Changhe Township before it got dark.Although Changhe Township is called a township, it is actually no more than a village. Most of the people living here are members of the Zhao family. Security They are rarely able to accommodate out-of-towners.The entire Changhe village was surrounded by a high earthen wall. On the wall, you could see the Xiangyong patrolling back and forth. After seeing the banner of the Tang family, he yelled a few words, and then closed the heavy city gate. Then it opened, and a group of people came out from inside, and greeted them with blows and blows.

The leader was an old man with a long beard, who seemed to be the patriarch of the Zhao family, followed by a middle-aged couple, who should be the parents of the woman, followed by some clansmen and fellow villagers. To Xu Changqing's surprise, These people all looked deathly.

When Tang Wei and Tang Biao saw the Zhao family coming out to greet them, they immediately urged their horses forward. After turning over and landing, they greeted each other one after another, and then said some friendly words.

At this time, someone saw Xu Changqing sitting in the carriage, and said a few words to the old man with long beard. The old man with long beard frowned, looked at Xu Changqing, and said to Tang Biao, "The second master of the Tang family Although it is our custom to welcome foreign relatives, recently some quacks have caused some accidents in Zhuangzi and injured people, so the clan regulations do not allow any wandering quacks to enter Zhuangzi during this period, and even Hope Second Lord Tang Haihan."

Tang Biao frowned. Although the long-bearded old man said that the charlatan caused the accident here, in his opinion, the Zhao family was more like being forced by Tang Tianhao not to take in their cousins.So he said with a cold face: "My lord, look at our three cousins, one adult with two children, even if it will cause trouble, how much trouble can it cause? That's good, if the three of them are together If something happens in Zhuangzi and something is damaged, my Tang family will pay three times the original price."

After finishing speaking, regardless of whether the other party agreed or not, he waved his hand and let the convoy drive into Zhuangzi, making Zhao's complexion extremely ugly. When the convoy entered Zhuangzi, Xu Changqing suddenly opened his eyes and couldn't help but Said: "Taiqing Liangyi Locking Spirit Formation!"
