Nine idlers

Chapter 75 Immortals and Buddhas flow together

"Master's virtue is indeed noble. Guan Zheng really admires him for being able to waste his true energy for these helpless lonely souls and give them a ride." At the moment when the white lotus Buddha elements around Xu Changqing disappeared, the dirty and messy Guan Zheng Standing at the exit, holding a torch in his hand, he looked at Xu Changqing respectfully.Judging from his appearance, he also encountered those traps when he came in, and when he came to the cave, he happened to see the scene of Xu Changqing sending his soul to die.

"Brother Guan, why are you here?" Xu Changqing already knew that Guan Zheng was coming this way through the restriction he had set up in the cave passage, so he deliberately performed this scene at the expense of his true energy, and now he showed a With a concerned face, he said, "Brother Guan has recovered? Why don't you rest at Majiapu?"

"After I woke up, I knew that the master was going to the devil's lair alone, and I was worried, so I rushed over, but it seemed a little late!" Guan Zheng smiled awkwardly, and saluted Xu Changqing solemnly, saying: "This time I also want to thank Master for saving my life, otherwise I'm afraid I would have died in the hands of Wei Changhui! Please accept Guan Mou's prayers."

After speaking, Guan Zheng was about to bow down, but Xu Changqing would not let him thank him, he stepped forward, supported his body, and said with a smile: "Brother Guan, there is no need to be too polite, we are all here for this peaceful world. , To eliminate demons and protect the way, we should support each other, so this kind of hypocrisy will be avoided!"

"Master, Guan is very admirable!" Guan Zheng felt more and more that the person in front of him must be a noble and virtuous person, and he couldn't help sighing with respect.

Xu Changqing looked ashamed, clasped his hands together, and said: "Brother Guan, I'm so honored! The poor monk is far from as good as Brother Guan said."

After some greetings, Xu Changqing briefly talked about the things in the cave, concealing the deal with Lilith and the treasures in the cave, and only told him that all the evil spirits in the cave had been killed. Said while walking outside.Guan Zheng had already identified Xu Changqing's status as an eminent monk in his heart, he was convinced of this, and he had no intention of entering to check, so he left the cave with Xu Changqing.

On the way out of the cave, Guan Zheng suddenly took out his talisman sword, and asked curiously: "Master, does anyone know who restored the power of the talisman sword for Guan? Guan must thank him in person."

"This thank you is unnecessary, it's just a little effort!" Xu Changqing smiled indifferently, and said: "Although the poor monk has not practiced the Sanqing Taoism for a long time, the Jindan Zhenyuan is far from being able to compare with those Taoist masters. But it is enough to restore the Dao power of the Talisman Sword."

"It turns out that the master is an expert who cultivates the same clan of immortals and Buddhas. Guan Zheng is disrespectful!" After hearing this, Guan Zheng was taken aback for a moment, and said with a slightly weird expression.

Xu Changqing had already guessed that Guan Zheng would have such an expression, raised his head and laughed, and said, "Hehe! What kind of expert? As long as Brother Guan doesn't dislike walking with this monster like the poor monk, the poor monk will be satisfied."

In the world of spiritual practice, the idea of ​​the confluence of the three religions prevailed for a period of time in the Ming Dynasty, and then gradually withdrew from the world of spiritual practice because Confucianism focused on governing the country and the world.However, some of the combined spells of the three religions collected by Confucian practitioners have still been handed down, and now only the Guan family and other thousand-year-old families have collected some combined spells of the three religions, among which Haoran Zhengqi Jue belongs to the three religions* *.With the withdrawal of Confucianism, the confluence of the three religions gradually became the confluence of immortals and Buddhas. However, with the prevalence of the White Lotus Sect in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the confluence of immortals and Buddhas was considered a heresy by the common people in the secular world. It has affected the practice world.Although later there appeared such as Wu Chongxu of the Taoist Longmen sect and other masters of the same stream of immortals and Buddhas, who created a quite unique style of fellowship of immortals and Buddhas, but they still could not restore the declining trend of the demise of the same stream of immortals and Buddhas.

Afterwards, as the Qing soldiers entered the customs, the practice world was also affected. Many of the orthodox sects of immortals and Buddhas closed their mountain gates and refused to fight against the sects. The lineage of the White Lotus Sect has been passed down.Later, during the Tongzhi period, the same stream of immortals and Buddhas revived and prevailed for a period of time, but in the end they still failed to escape the fate of extinction.Now when mentioning the same stream of immortals and Buddhas, except for the casual cultivators like Jiuliu idlers, all people in the practice world first think of the evil cult White Lotus Sect, and then the Taoist Jindan Beizong Longmen Sect.

Xu Changqing was dressed as a monk, so naturally he couldn't be a Taoist priest of the Longmen sect, so Guan Zheng mistook him for a member of the White Lotus sect, and the expression on his face was so awkward.

"Monster? How can the master be a demon with such virtue?" Guan Zheng thought of Xu Changqing's previous behaviors, and his expression immediately became extremely annoyed. He felt ashamed that he had misunderstood such an eminent monk, and quickly saluted and said: "Guan Zheng I misunderstood the master just now, and I hope the master will forgive me."

"That's human nature, Brother Guan, don't mind." Xu Changqing didn't explain too much, and patted Guan Zheng's shoulder with a smile, expressing that he didn't take it to heart.

At this time, the two had already walked out of the cave passage, and saw that it was already early morning outside, and a ray of sunlight that was not dazzling shot over from the back of the mountain, making the cold mountain feel warm. meaning.Now is a good time to practice, Xu Changqing and Guan Zheng sat down cross-legged at the same time, each running their bodies, absorbing the trace of pure yang energy in the morning.When the ray of sunlight slowly passed and shone on the two of them, a burst of purple gas gushed out from the top of Guan Zheng's head, shaped like a ganoderma lucidum, the gas kept churning, absorbing the pure yang in the light little by little Qi, and then turned into two thin air columns, and then inhaled into the body through the closed nose, and circulated around the sky according to the method of Haoran Zhengqi Jue.

On the other hand, Xu Changqing's whole body became pitch black, the surrounding pure yang energy was devoured by him, and the thin spiritual energy between heaven and earth was also absorbed into his body, and then the acquired heaven and earth spiritual energy and pure yang energy followed the Jindan Zhenyuan respectively. And the golden 'liquid' true essence runs around the size of the week.If a practitioner opened his eyes to look, he would see the meridians of Xu Changqing's whole body floating on the surface of his body at this moment. The meridians of the big circulatory sky were light white, while the meridians of the small circulatory sky were fiery red.In addition, the upper, middle and lower dantians are all surrounded by a white flame. The pure yang energy that circulates in Ren Du's second channel is continuously sent into these three flames, and the flames in the lower dantian are also slowly flowing. The one turned into a dragon and tiger shape, constantly rotating around the golden 'liquid' true essence.

It didn't take long to absorb the pure yang qi, only ten minutes before the two of them withdrew from the cultivation method before the pure yang qi turned into dry and chaotic blazing yang qi.Although the time was not long, for Guan Zheng, half of his depleted power was recovered, while Xu Changqing used the pure yang energy to strengthen the civil and military alchemy fire, and the aura of heaven and earth recovered the depleted true essence, and also recovered [-]% of his cultivation base .

"Brother Guan, what are your plans next?" Xu Changqing asked after watching Guan Zheng recuperate and stand up.

Guan Zheng thought for a while and said, "I want to go to Baoding to take the train and go to Tianjin. My Guan family still has a foreign hall in Tianjin. I plan to settle there first, and then see if I can contact other comrades and go to Peiping together." Punish evil."

"It just so happens that the poor monk is also going to Baoding to take a bus to Tianjin, so we happened to be on the way!" Xu Changqing smiled slightly and suggested: "We might as well go to Tianjin together, so we can have someone to take care of us on the way."

Guan Zheng said happily: "It's really great, it's just what I want!"

"In this case, let's go back to Majiapu first, say hello to the old village chief, and then go on the road together." Guan Zheng's reaction was completely within Xu Changqing's expectations, he nodded, and then said.

Guan Zheng quickly grabbed Xu Changqing's cassock, his cheeks were slightly red, and he said hesitantly: "No need to go, I have already greeted the old village chief before I came, let's go straight on the road!"

Seeing Guan Zheng's strange expression, and looking at the neatly collected treasure chest behind Guan Zheng, Xu Changqing frowned slightly, and asked puzzledly: "Brother Guan, did something happen after the poor monk left? If so?" If there is nothing wrong, if the poor monk does not go back to say hello, it is really unreasonable to make them worry."

"Alas! To be honest, Miss Yu Qing has been taking care of me since Master left," Guan Zheng said with a flushed face, and seeing Xu Changqing's puzzled expression, he explained: "Yu Qing Miss Qing is the granddaughter of the old village chief. After I woke up, the old village chief suddenly wanted to marry Miss Yu Qing to me, saying that he wanted to repay my uncle and grandfather for saving his life."

"Haha! This is a good thing!" Xu Changqing smiled and said, "Since it is the kindness of the old village chief, and in order to understand the old village chief's wish for many years, you agree."

"Master, you know I'm embarrassed by this matter, so why make fun of me?" Guan Zheng blushed, glanced at Xu Changqing complainingly, and continued: "Let's not care whether my uncle and grandfather have saved the old village chief's life or not." , even if there is the line of my uncle and grandfather to receive this kindness, it will not be my turn! Besides, this trip to Beiping, to put it bluntly, is a narrow escape, and it is still a problem whether I can come back alive. Just agreeing to someone casually, ruining their life? So I took advantage of the old village head to leave for a while, and told Ms. Yu Qing the bronze medal and family address of the family, and asked her to give it to the old village head, and go directly to the house Find people from the lineage of my uncle."

"You've been very thoughtful," Xu Changqing nodded slightly, and suddenly said playfully, "I'm afraid that Miss Qing didn't let you leave smoothly! The poor monk guessed what kind of method Brother Guan should have used. ?”

"I knew I couldn't beat Master. When I left, I was afraid that Ms. Yu Qing would call someone, so I used the immobilization method to hold her for half an hour. Now it should be solved." Guan Zheng smiled awkwardly and said : "Now the master knows why I don't want to go back to Majiapu, right? If I go back now, doesn't that mean I'm throwing myself into trouble?"

Xu Changqing shook his head with a smile, and performed the ghostly movement method, jumped up, stepped on the branches, and flew over the mountains and forests, and said: "Secular marriage, you can't get involved, you can't mess with it, but if you fall into it, you can't get out of it." You can do it yourself." He said, standing on the top of the tree, beckoned to Guan Zheng, and said, "Let's go! Baoding does not have a train to Tianjin every day! The distance is not too short, and it happens to make the poor Monk, take a look at how wonderful the Guan family's way of lightening one's body is?"

"Wait for me, master!" Seeing Xu Changqing flying away like a land fairy stepping on the top of a tree in the mist, Guan Zheng quickly took out two pairs of leggings from the treasure chest, tied them on his feet, and then activated the Grand Virtue Art , forming a seal with his hands, said: "The cloud follows the dragon, the wind follows the tiger, the four spirits help my body, and they are as urgent as a law!"

As the Guan family's magical method was displayed, the power of the leggings immediately enveloped Guan Zheng, making his body blurry, and then rushed into the woods like the wind, and rushed to catch up on the ground at a speed not weaker than Xu Changqing's. However, the surrounding branches and weeds passed through his body miraculously, without causing him any hindrance.

"The thousand-year-old Taoism of the Guan family is really amazing! I underestimated them a bit." Xu Changqing was surprised when he saw Guan Zheng's supernatural powers. The top of the tree passed by, and Guan Zheng, who was under the same tree, galloped in the direction of Baoding.

At this time, Guan Zheng, who was thinking of going to Beiping to slay demons and demons, didn't know how much trouble the bronze medal and family address he left behind would cause him.In the ancestral temple of Majiapu, Yu Qing, the granddaughter of the old village head who had already shed her bridal attire, lowered her head slightly as if she had been wronged, and did not speak, tears continuously falling down.Although the rouge on his face has been wiped off, it still does not damage his delicate appearance, and it is even more beautiful without makeup.

Beside Yu Qing, her "grandmother" patted her on the back lightly, comforted her a few times, and then complained to the old village chief: "Back then, I learned the righteousness from you to ask for it from Guan Engong." You didn't say a word when you came here. He left his newly born daughter-in-law and daughter and went to ask the mountain ghost to deal with the bandits, but you didn't say anything. Yesterday, Qing'er was tied up by those people in the village If you want to dedicate it to the mountain ghost, you still didn’t say anything. Those ungrateful bastards just spread rumors and said that they are already an ominous person. Ke Fu Ke Mu Ke Village, the Guan Family Celestial Master knew this and left. You still Don't talk. Now that everyone is gone, you are now yelling at your granddaughter. Your village is really dignified. Why did I even take a fancy to you in Cuiping back then, and have followed you for the rest of my life!"

"I..." The old village chief was speechless after being scolded by his wife, so he could only squat at the entrance of the ancestral hall, smoking the dry tobacco in his hand vigorously.

At this time, Yu Qing persuaded the old couple instead, and said quietly: "Grandpa, 'Grandma', 'Grandma', don't say that it's all about Qinger's life, you can't blame others."

"Hey!" Seeing his granddaughter's sad face, the old village chief broke the tobacco stick in his hand as if he had made some decision, stood up abruptly, and said, "Forget it! Since I am old at home, there is no If there is no way to live in this Majiapu, let’s go, I don’t believe that if we leave Majiapu, we will die.” He took out the bronze medal and Guan’s address left by Guan Zheng from his arms, and looked at it. Said: "Since the kid from the Guan family has left the bronze plate and address of the Guan family, he has admitted such a relationship, so we will go south to the Guan family. I don't believe the old man. The Guan family is so big that we cannot accommodate the three of us."

When the old village chief said these words, Guan Zheng, who was already more than ten miles away, suddenly shuddered, paused, and after checking that there was no problem, he continued on his way.
