Desperate Night

Qingchenguan Courtyard.

The huge Qingchen Temple has hundreds of disciples. Naturally, it is impossible for the Taoist temple to be the only base. There are also a total of thirty-six other courtyards of different sizes, which serve as warehouses and research bases.

"Yes, you heard it right, it is a research base." Zhengxia, who was in charge of guiding in the other courtyard, explained with some displeasure, "The research is on the improvement of the fundamental technique of Qi Condensation and Shadow Jue. As well as the Tao Fa Guan Wu Gong optimization."

She and Yu Hong were standing in a villa in a small county near Taizhou, visiting the research projects here.

Through the viewing window, one can see white-haired veteran Taoists holding scriptures and notes, operating various instruments in closed research rooms, testing volunteer disciples, recording data, and calculating quickly.

"It looks amazing," Yu Hong said in sincere admiration, not expecting that Qingchen Temple would be so advanced with the times.

"Otherwise, do you really think that we bring so much money just for enjoyment? A large part of the reason is that the old people who were injured and cannot continue to eliminate evil spirits have no money and cannot get good care. Now. With enough money, the old people not only receive good treatment and their physical injuries are healed to the greatest extent, but they can also give full play to their experience and advantages, and summarize and experiment new technologies, new materials, and new methods that are beneficial to the entire Taoist temple. "

When Zhengxia talked about this, she immediately straightened her back and looked proud.

"It makes sense." Yu Hongshen nodded in agreement. Before, he only knew that Qingchen Temple wanted money, but he didn't expect that there was such a deep logic and reason behind it.

"That's why everyone in the temple supports the current temple leader to take charge of the overall situation." Zhengxia sighed.

Seeing Yu Hong's sincere expression of admiration, the conflict in her heart became a little better.

I feel like this person is not as hypocritical as before.

"Let's go. This time, the master and the others specially ordered them to make way for all your resources. They purchased the raw materials at a high price and then made a pot of heart-changing pills. There are three pills in a pot. This time they said they would share one pill. "Tsk, tsk" Zhengxia didn't know what to say.

The little tidbits of information she got from her master made her understand that the junior fellow apprentice Dingrou in front of her was definitely extremely talented. Otherwise, she wouldn't have given him the heart-changing pill that the seniors rushed to grab every year. pellets.

"Heart-changing pill?" Yu Hong asked doubtfully, "What is the effect of this pill?"

"Forcibly stabilize your Taoist realm, force your Taoist cultivation to break through the first level. But one person can only take one pill every two years, and it is ineffective in breaking through the ninth level. Because Taoism will degrade, many times this kind of You know how to use the elixir," Zhengxia explained.

"." Yu Hong was shocked. This Qingchen Temple looked inconspicuous, but there were such good things inside! ?

"Are you shocked?" Zhengxia smiled. "You will be surprised by many things in the future. Do you really think that people like us in Qingchen Temple are fools? Give up your reputation and so many other things just to get money? How about money?" In addition to enjoying it, there is no point in using it too much. Only by finding the right use can you achieve the best effect. ”

"In that case, isn't it true that there are quite a few people in the temple who are at a high level of Taoism and Dharma? This can be achieved by relying on pills." Yu Hong asked.

"Do you think Master and the others don't want to? But no, because the materials for refining this elixir are very rare and rare, and the failure rate is also very high. It took several years to get this batch of elixir, and I was lucky enough to succeed. A few, if I can share one with you, it would be great," Zhengxia replied.

"That's it! Senior Sister Zhengxia knows a lot and has been taught a lot." Yu Hong saluted sincerely with his palms raised.

"There's no need to be so polite." Zhengxia's face turned a little red after being received such a formal gift, and she quickly turned her head to avoid it. "If your Taoist cultivation does not advance, it will regress. Don't expect to be able to rely on this elixir all the time. Because once it degrades, it will only take a few days, or even faster. In some extreme cases, the Taoist heart will collapse in an instant, completely The technique is out of control and suffers backlash. It is for this reason that my Tao channel pursues balance and stability."

"I understand this." Yu Hong nodded.

The atmosphere between the two of them was a little awkward for a while, and they stopped talking.

Pass through two small courtyards and enter the innermost row of three-story buildings.

A thin old man with a goatee has been waiting at the door for a long time.

After some pleasantries, the old man took out a black box that had been prepared and handed it to Zhengxia.

Zhengxia opened the box, checked it again, and handed it over to Yu Hong.

Yu Hong took the box, and inside was a pale golden pill about the size of a marble.

There was a mess of cotton, straw leaves, etc. stuffed around the pill.

"Cover it. Just take it directly when needed. Next, I will take you to see the Taoist tools." Zhengxia glanced at the black bell on Yu Hong's waist.

"This Taoist weapon, your imperial bell, is just an ordinary item that is considered superior. Master asked me to take you to the inheritance hall to have a look."

"Inheritance Hall?"

"Well, that is the most important place in my Qingchen Temple. It houses the Taoist tools of previous generations of teachers in the temple. Some of the Taoist tools themselves have been contaminated with extremely strong aura due to long-term use. They can be used against Taoism and spells. There is a big enhancement." Zhengxia explained.

"So powerful!?" Yu Hong was surprised.

"Let's go and take you to see it."

Zhengxia held her head high and took Yu Hong out of this courtyard and headed to the inheritance hall.

The Heritage Hall is located underground in a museum in downtown Taizhou.

On the surface it is an exhibition museum, but in fact, there is something else underground.

Before the two arrived here, Yu Mo and Taoist Master Yu Hen, the temple leader, were already waiting here in advance.

On a sunny day, under the shade of a tree, the two of them stood side by side, watching the various tourists coming in and out of the museum.

"If Yu Hong passes the inheritance hall test, he will be the only core disciple of my Qingchen Temple from now on, and his treatment will be equal to that of Zhengming Zhengying." The temple owner said seriously, without any frivolity like usual.

"I think there's no problem. But, isn't it too early for Hong?" Yu Mo hesitated.

"It's not too early. Isn't this the same time when Zhengming Zhengying was born? Besides, if Yu Hong's Taoism is really at the fifth level, then if he wants to use the inheritance hall to test the sixth level after that, it will be invalid." Yu Hen said seriously. . "Use the spiritual thoughts of the ancestors in the inherited Taoist artifacts to detect whether he has evil intentions and whether his qualifications are really as strong as he said. This may be our only way."

"You can take him to try to resolve the grudges." Yu Mo suggested.

"At most, it can check that his Taoist cultivation and magic skills are not weak, but it can't detect what his thoughts are. Okay, let's not talk about it. If Yu Hong has no evil intentions, then the inheritance hall also has some evil intentions towards him. It's a great benefit. If he can obtain one or two inheritance tools, he will be able to have strong self-protection ability in the face of the Black Disaster of Resentment." Guanzhu Yuhen said with a smile.

"Yes." Yu Mo nodded.

The two of them changed the topic and talked about other matters in the Guan Nei industry.

Not long after, outside the museum, at the open door, a white high-end car slowly stopped.

The car door opened, Zhengxia got out of the car with Yu Hong, greeted the Taoist at the door, and strode towards this side.

"Zhengxia | Dingrou, I have met the master and the master of the temple." The two of them saluted Yumo Yuhen together.

"Get up. This time, the qualification for the inheritance hall is not only a test for Dingrou, but also a reward for you. All the disciples of the official Taoist class have been here, but only Zhengming and Zhengying have obtained the inheritance qualification. The acknowledgment of the weapon has taken away one of the inherited Taoist tools here, so if you can take one, it will be of great help to your future development." Temple Master Yu Hen said with a kind smile.

"Disciple understands." Yu Hong had already listened to Zhengxia's popular science on the way here.

I am also very curious about this inheritance hall.

"Speaking of which, this inheritance hall was abandoned for a long time, and no one discovered its secrets. Later, when the temple got rich, it restored the spiritual thrones of the ancestors, and then they discovered that there was something else going on. This is a great gift left by the ancestors to our descendants, but We used to be too poor," the visitor sighed, leading a few people along a path in the museum and into an internal elevator in the corner.

The elevator pressed down on the negative third floor and began to move down rapidly.

"People outside say that I, Yu Hen, am desperate for money, but if I don't have money, the inherited Taoist tools will not be able to shine at all, and the inheritance will not be able to arrange automatic transfer rituals. Without adequate maintenance, many inherited Taoist tools will even disappear with time. As time goes by, is this the price we have to pay for maintaining tradition? No, I, Yu Hen, don’t agree!”

The viewer became impassioned and fell into self-movement.

"After I took over as the master of the temple, I worked hard to improve the economy of the temple. I thought hard and worked hard."

What follows is a long list of nonsense boasting about his own achievements.

Yu Hong looked respectful on the surface, but his ears filtered out this part of the content.

bite.

Elevator arrives.

He followed the two division commanders out of the door. Outside was a fan-shaped gray stone hall.

The stone hall faced them, with three doors each. The doors were round and made in the style of a Tai Chi diagram, with words engraved on them.

They are: Lingxu, Golden Turtle, Dingshen.

"Well, this is the Heritage Hall. The three gates are for escape, protection, and attack. You can choose your own." The viewer simply translated and pointed at the three gates.

"Senior brother, can't you be more polite?" Yu Mo couldn't help but complain.

"But that's the specific thing. Aren't I afraid that Dingrou won't understand?" Yu Hen said plausibly, not admitting that he was uneducated at all.

Yu Hong glanced at Zhengxia who was suppressing a smile, took a step forward, and sensed the different atmospheres of the three doors inside.

In fact, he doesn't think that this inherited Taoist weapon can help him much. With his own strength and the strong physique he has developed now, the Taoist weapon is not a Taoist weapon and has little effect.

"Dingrou, do you think how helpful an inherited Taoist weapon can be? Everything still depends on your own cultivation. You are a super genius, so you should have such ideas, right?" Taoist Yu Mo behind him is precise. Touched his thoughts. He spoke with a smile.

"Well," Yu Hong's expression straightened, "This disciple is indeed a little arrogant. I'm sorry, master."

"It's not that I'm arrogant. Every genius has such thoughts before entering here. You are like this, Zheng Ming Zheng Ying is the same." Yu Mo smiled and continued. "But that's because you don't know how powerful the inherited Taoist tools are. Essentially, the Taoist tools here are the Taoist tools that our ancestors originally created using many lost materials to store spiritual energy."

"Storage? Spiritual meaning?" Yu Hong narrowed his eyes, "Master, what is this spiritual meaning?"
