Forbidden City

Chapter 160 Cultivating Daoism
For the next ten days or so, we have been living in this small Taoist temple. People from Wanfo Hall and Qingfeng Temple must be trying their best to find Bailong Temple for us. We just wait for news.

Qingfengguan and Wanfotang are the most influential forces in this generation. As long as they release news to tourists who burn incense and worship Buddha every day, and then release rewards within a few days, I believe it will not take long. Everyone will inquire about the White Dragon Temple.

And I have been practicing Taoism every day for more than ten days.After going through so many things, I have secretly made up my mind that I want the master to learn the Taoism well, I want to protect the people around me, I want to punish the evil and promote the good, and moreover, I want to carry forward the linen school and live up to the trust of the master. You must learn Taoism!
The Mai School is a branch of the Maoshan School. Most Taoism is related to Maoshan Taoism. Taoism can be roughly classified into seven categories.

[-]. Attacking Taoism is also the Taoism of subjugating demons and exorcising ghosts. In the master's notes, there are five thunder palms, sun palms, point strikes, three-flavored real fire palms, eight trigrams five thunder palms, Arhat palms, Tai Chi Yin-Yang palms, tight hoop spells, Some offensive techniques such as Qianjin Gate.

[-]. Taoism-like techniques for curing diseases and expelling evil spirits, including Arhat Immortal Method, Eliminating Evil Magic Method, Hemostatic Immortal Method, Thousand-mile Ecstasy Method, Divine Moxibustion Transfer Disease Art, Five Thunder Divine Strike Art, Qi Sealing Spirit Palm Art, Nine Dragon God Claw Art, etc.

[-]. Daoism in response to the world, this kind of Taoism is mostly related to water division, such as anti-theft method, method of increasing wealth by strange gates, method of increasing wealth by land, method of increasing wealth by the gods of the four directions, increasing wealth by enforcing wealth, and using five ghosts to help wealth There are many Taoist methods, such as the method of opening the door of wealth and the method of benefiting wealth, and the method of shining gods.

[-]. The Taoist method of protecting the body, including Laojun Town House Talisman, Pu'an Town House Talisman, Wulei Bagua Town House Talisman, etc.; There are many ways to protect the body and life, such as soul sending soul, Guansha talisman, etc.

[-]. Pill Dao and Bigu-like Taoism, there are patriarchs channeling spirits, Dharma Water Enhancing Gong, Yizhi Enhancing Wisdom, etc., which can be used to refine various elixirs.

Ordinary Taoism is basically divided into several categories, and this is also a skill that must be mastered as a qualified onmyoji.In fact, most onmyojis are not real onmyojis, they only know some offensive spells, as long as they have the ability to subdue a blue ghost, they can become onmyojis.

A true onmyoji must be proficient in the five major skills, and these people are most likely old Taoists who have been studying Taoism all their lives.And those powerful onmyojis also study formations and other side-by-side spells.The Maoshan spell is a more orthodox spell.

Under the big category, there are densely packed subcategories. I was holding a note in my hand, and my eyes were getting bigger and bigger. I was dazzled by the sight. But to practice Taoism, you also need Fengshui, celestial phenomena, dates, altars, ancestor statues, etc. Such props, my head is getting bigger.

The cultivation requirements are so harsh, how can I cultivate?Is this manipulative or cultivation?

Mu Yi on the side smiled and said: "I say you are stupid, if you really practice Taoism according to the book, you have to choose the date, and the hour, moreover, you have to avoid eating, and you have to worship ancestors, you only have two days a day. It takes three days to practice Taoism, and it is impossible to become an Onmyoji in a lifetime."

I hurriedly asked, "That's what it says in the book, how could it be wrong? If you don't practice according to this, how can I practice?"

Mu Yi glared at me and said, "Sometimes you are very smart, which surprises me, and sometimes you are stupid, I really don't understand, are you just pretending?"

When I met Mu Yi for the first time, I was still a relatively impulsive person. After all, I was a dick who had just graduated from school and hadn't experienced any big scenes. At that time, I was really stupid.

Ever since I experienced many things with Mu Yi, I didn't even think that some of my abilities have been tapped out. Many times, I can clearly feel that I have become smarter. Of course, I think that, on the one hand, with Mu Yi My experience, on the other hand, is that the sackcloth ring in my hand is helping me.

And for such a long time, I have also learned a lot about Mu Yi. She is a cold woman. Of course, compared to my senior sister's coldness, Mu Yi is much better. Their personalities are very similar. Knife mouth tofu heart.

Mu Yi is very closed to her emotional aspect, I often chat with her in my free time, she never mentions emotional matters, which makes me very strange.

I hurriedly said, "I haven't practiced Taoism before, tell me quickly, how do I do it?"

Mu Yi took the book in my hand and said: "It's written in the book, but it doesn't have to be done. It's just like the general Taoism, it's just the offensive Taoism of exorcising ghosts. It can be practiced at any time. Some of the best There are many taboos in Taoism because of its relatively high requirements. The first thing you need to do is get started. Isn’t it written in the book? It’s just sitting in meditation. You must first calm down before you can start practicing. Rest your mind, sit for half an hour and you will succeed, I did this, and it took about half a month before I started to learn the first ghost exorcism technique."

Only then did I understand, nodded, and I asked, "Then after you graduated from the police academy, you became an onmyoji after training for a year, and your skills are still so powerful, who is your master?"

"One year?" Mu Yi said, "Do you think you can become an onmyoji in just one year? Do you think becoming an onmyoji is a joke? Can anyone become an onmyoji? The person who can become an onmyoji is ten thousand There is no one! I learned Taoism when I was ten years old, and I became a ghost policeman after graduation. As for who my master is, I can’t tell you. It took me more than ten years to get started. As for The training of the supernatural police is just training some exercises."

Over ten years?Just getting started?so long?And Mu Yi has only learned some superficial knowledge, she is not as good as Lexus, nor is my senior sister.

Mu Yi continued: "Generally, to train an onmyoji, you need to start at the age of three. At the age of five, you can get in touch with some simple Taoism. At the age of ten, you can truly comprehend it and become a trainee onmyoji. With good qualifications, you can do it at the age of 20." Become a real onmyoji. It’s too late for me to start, but my adoptive father let me take a kind of elixir since I was a child. My physique is very special, so I learned so fast, but now to put it bluntly, I can only deal with it Some yellow and cyan ghosts, at best, I'm just a trainee onmyoji."

After hearing Mu Yi's words, I lost confidence all of a sudden. Mu Yi said that she was too late to learn Taoism at the age of ten, but what about me?I'm in my 20s!can i do itIs it so difficult to learn Taoism?

Seeing my gloomy expression, Mu Yi said with a smile: "Don't worry, since I was able to bring you to Senior Li, and Senior Li accepted you as a disciple, it means that your aptitude is very good. You must know that my relationship with your senior sister is so good. Okay, I wanted to be a teacher a few years ago, but your master didn't accept me. Could it be that your master misjudged the person? Would you hand over the head of the Mai school to a person with poor qualifications? Besides, you are so good at drawing talismans, Even an onmyoji as strong as Lexus can defeat you, you are the most qualified person I have ever seen."

That's right, one word really awakened the person in the dream. My master is the head of one of the nine sects. Can you misunderstand the person?
I immediately entered the state, and Mu Yi pointed out the precautions for me to meditate on the side. Although it was explained in the book, there are some details, it is better to have the teacher teach me on the spot.

I made all the preparations and began to sit quietly with my eyes closed. According to the requirements in the book and Mu Yi's guidance, I let my brain not think about anything, entered an ethereal state, meditated on my mind, and entered a Taoist mind-cultivating state.

As I finish reciting the Dharma, I seem to feel that the distracting thoughts in my mind are decreasing a little bit. This feeling is very strange, like slowly pouring out a bucket of water.

At the same time, I felt a chill in my right hand, and a cool and comfortable feeling traveled upstream along my arm, gradually flowing through my whole body, and finally reached my mind.

I didn't refuse or resist, just like a pair of gentle hands gently stroking every inch of my skin, the feeling can't be expressed in words, there are only two words: comfortable, very comfortable.

I felt that all the distracting thoughts in my mind disappeared at once, leaving only that comfortable feeling.My whole mind was immersed in this mysterious and weird feeling, and I couldn't extricate myself, and I never wanted to come out.
