Taoist chanting

Zhang Wenfeng smeared the dry brush with his hand, followed the one that appeared, and slashed down vertically to the end, like a sword splitting thunder.

The rice paper that had been soaked for a long time could not withstand such force, it was pulled and torn into two crumpled balls, and the linen felt underneath was separated from the middle, revealing a fine mark on the table, about two feet long, as straight as a measuring stick .

Zhang Wenfeng opened his eyes, his forehead was dripping with sweat, and his back was soaked, what?He glanced at the mess on the table, put down the broken brush, and said with a smile: "Second Senior Brother, your unintentional words made me..."

Turning around, I realized that the second senior brother who had been nagging had left at some time.

He took a clean towel and wiped his forehead and back. He didn't use Yuan Qi, but he was touched by accident. He broke his obsession with the method of visualization, and the fifth sentence of "Tao Jing" appeared on the illusory ancient book in the sea of ​​consciousness: "Two They come from the same place, with different names and same titles.”

The seal characters flow in color, with endless halos.

After a little comprehension, you will know the purpose of the newly obtained supernatural power "Guanxinmu Sword Curse", which is a sword move, which can break through the obstacles in front of you through "sword power and sword intent".

He can perceive his own swordsmanship and has benefited from it.

It's a pity that Yuan Qi can't be used rashly now, otherwise he really wants to find a clean place to try the power of this sword supernatural power.

Perhaps, it has reached the point of "fitting with the body"?

Even if he can only use one move, it will be a great reference for him to break through the realm of sword cultivation in the future.

After tidying up the messy items on the table, all the distracting thoughts in my mind were wiped away by that stroke,?Don't bother him anymore, ?So he went down the mountain to the bamboo building to practice Jiamu True Fire Jue.

It is really a great blessing to have such an unexpected harvest during the Chinese New Year!

After the reunion dinner, the second senior brother handed out the "New Year's Eve" money wrapped in red paper one by one. Everyone has it. Adults and children said auspicious words to win the favor. The old cripples cleaned up the kitchen. Smiling, he went back to the east courtyard, gathered in a main room, set up a firewood to watch the new year, and ate wine and snacks.

The three Taoist priests drank tea and chatted for a while, then went to the main hall with clean hands to offer incense and chant sutras.

Daily homework cannot be slack.

The first day of the first lunar month.

After Zhang Wenfeng got up early to wash up, he changed into a newly purchased bright yellow cassock with gold silk and silver embroidery, a crown on his head, a dust whisk in his hand, and new cloud shoes on his feet. He walked out of the backyard and climbed the steps from the south to the terrace.

The second senior brother, Yue Anyan, is holding a yellow lantern and leading the three apprentices, standing on the left.

Eldest brother Jia Dean and third senior brother Shang are holding wind lanterns each with an apprentice, standing on the right side, for the annual Tianla Festival sacrifice, even if the two descended from the mountain, they will arrive every year before the three quarters of the eve of time, waiting for the temple master to open the hall Practice sacrifices.

This year's situation is quite special, the second senior brother deliberately got up early and waited in front of the archway of the mountain gate, otherwise the senior senior brother and the others would not be able to enter the gate. A few days ago, after Yue Anyan learned the Liangyi Water Transformation Formation, she arranged many small formations in the large formation. Make a large array of branches and leaves.

It is difficult to walk an inch inside the mountain gate without a jade tablet array near you, or without someone leading it.

Everyone saluted, "Respectfully invite the Lord to ascend the hall!"

Zhang Wenfeng saluted with one hand, nodded to the two senior brothers who had rushed over in the dark, and walked forward first.

The people behind followed in two rows, silently.

There are 49 lamps on the ground on both sides of the main hall, which are densely covered with stars and brilliantly lit.

Zhang Wenfeng led the crowd to offer incense, knelt three times and kowtowed nine times, and chanted: "The star on the stage is always responding. Exorcising evil spirits, protecting life and body. Wisdom is clear and peaceful, and the mind is peaceful. The three souls are eternal, and the soul is never lost."

After getting up, Qiyun recited the "Tianla Sacrifice Chapter" in "Taishang Tongxuan Sifang Miaojing" together with everyone. The sound of the scriptures echoed and resonated in the hall, and the fragrant mist diffused. pray.

A set of complicated lesson instruments was completed, and the sky had already brightened.

After eating the first fast meal of the new year, all the colleagues who had not seen each other for a long time gathered in the west hall to serve tea.

Zhang Wenfeng changed into the Taoist robe he usually wore, and sat in the first place facing the gate. Although the disciples brought by Jia De'an and Shang Zheng were older than the main one, they could only serve tea and water.

"In just one year, our Taoist temple has undergone earth-shaking changes and flourishing development. It is really gratifying. If I hadn't grown old, I would have the cheek to ask to return to the mountain gate and settle down to clean up the hut."

Jia De'an said something with emotion.

The second senior brother comforted: "In the future, grandchildren who have suitable qualifications can be sent to the mountain gate, and they should teach them with all their heart."

Jia De'an smiled and agreed: "Definitely, definitely." In fact, he smiled bitterly in his heart.

In the last qualification test, among the more than ten school-age children in Jia's family, none of them passed the test, which made him very disappointed.

Shangzheng didn't talk to the elder brother, he sat beside Yue Anyan, chatting with the temple master with a smile.

He is also dragging his family with him and it is impossible to come back to the mountain again, but he still has a daughter named Shang Qingyun who is an apprentice in a Taoist temple. He heard from the second senior brother that in this year-end assessment, he ranked eighth among the 38 apprentices. , the bit belongs to the front row.

With the second senior brother and fourth senior sister taking care of him, he was very relieved.

After the three-year apprenticeship expires, the Shang family is likely to produce a real Taoist cultivator.

The regrets he left behind will be made up for by the younger generation.

After resting and drinking tea for half an hour, the crowd accompanied the temple master to the tombs in the northeast, where they burned paper to pay homage to the master and successive temple masters, and weeded and cultivated several tombs.

Accompanied by the temple master and others, the two senior brothers then visited Qingzheng Bieyuan, walked around the site of the Taoist temple, which had been enlarged by an unknown number of times, and did not turn back until they had finished their lunch.

After breakfast, Wei Xingde's family and Mrs. He went back to the village with presents to celebrate the New Year with their elders.

After seeing off the guests, Zhang Wenfeng went back to the bamboo building to practice his kung fu. After practicing, he tried to keep his inner light and visualize wooden characters, but found that it didn't work. He changed his visualization to trees, peach trees, flying swords, etc., which were related to wood. items.

Did not touch any sentimental experience.

This is expected, and most attempts will be fruitless.

Thinking about his new supernatural power "Guanxin Wooden Sword Curse", which contains the word "wooden sword", does he need to prepare a wooden sword in order to maximize the power of the sword supernatural power?

Isn't He Guangjun just carrying two different black and silver swords, dangling around?

It's a pity that he is sick now, so he doesn't dare to use the supernatural power Yuan Qi casually, otherwise he really wants to try, what is the difference between the "Guanxinmu Sword Curse" released by the Jade Bamboo Sword and the Peach Wood Sword, even if it costs more time, but also to do a comparison.

As the third day passed, the second senior brother and Yue Anyan coaxed the mountain badger to continue digging the unfinished burrow.

Wei Xingde took three and a half teenagers to help transport the mud and rocks.

The donkey spends most of his time alone in the woods. The donkey loves the most excitement and lives alone in the first month of the lunar year. He often practices lightning cleaning techniques and forgets to eat grass. Occasionally, an uncontrolled thunder light jumps away on his body, and soon disappears without a trace.

The old cripple had to prepare concentrate for the donkey every meal. Seeing the donkey that had lost weight in just a few days, his heart ached.

When he found that the donkey didn't come to eat, he wanted to find the donkey and call it to fill his stomach.

The ass of the donkey was electrified, so he didn't dare to pat the donkey indiscriminately.

On the evening of the seventh day of the seventh day, in the dead of night, Zhang Wenfeng was meditating in the bamboo building, and while he was resting and reading, he suddenly heard the excited cry of a donkey pulling a saw from the distant forest, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

So quickly, the donkey has completed the tempering skin stage of the mine washing technique?

He knew that the guy forgot to sleep and eat when he cultivated, and he was extremely talented.

But this is too fast. According to the cultivation method, the first time the skin is tempered for at least two or three months, and as long as half a year. However, it only takes eleven days for the donkey to get the cultivation method.

Advance by leaps and bounds, non-human evildoer!

If he had the qualifications of that kind of guy, the wood fire in his body would probably condense into a lump of copper coins, and he would have pulled out the witch curse at the root of the disease without a trace, why is he so cautious now?

After a while, the donkey's soft cry came from downstairs: "Monastery, are you free? I'll buy you a drink!"

Zhang Wenfeng gathered the books and stood up buoyantly, saying, "Congratulations!"

After blowing out the oil lamp, he opened the door and went downstairs to celebrate with the happy donkey. The donkey has achieved this achievement, and it should be rewarded.

Chapter 201 Move a house for Lingzhi

"'Daily everything is practice', even digging is practice, hehe!"

The second senior brother poked the handle of the hoe, and after a moment of stupefaction, he let out a smirk cheerfully.

Starting from the 21st day of the first year, he spent at least three hours a day digging rocks with Yuan Qi infused with instruments,?I exhausted my Yuan Qi several times a day, and meditated at night to recover.

Going back and forth like this, the Yuan Qi is being strengthened every day, making progress.

As of the eighth day of the first lunar month today, the cultivation base has come naturally, and he has unknowingly advanced to the late stage of Qi Transformation.

He also knew that thanks to the great array of the mountain gate, the aura was abundant up and down the mountain gate, especially in the area of ​​the bamboo building in the water pool,?Of course it doesn't take much effort to practice, right?It depends on how much the body can absorb every day.

A practice opportunity like this,?The first time works best.

The road of cultivation requires all kinds of mind-cultivation and experience, otherwise, digging the soil for a lifetime, it is impossible to dig out a cultivation base of Gradient Realm.

Yue Anyan stopped working, stood up and took a look, with a smile in his eyes: "Congratulations, brother! Brother, you go back to practice and stabilize, and there is a little finishing work left, I can do it well, keep your spirits, we have to transplant Pan tonight." Jade tree."

These days of digging soil and rocks, consuming Yuan Qi and recovering, her cultivation base has also grown a lot.

She could understand the second senior brother's mood at this time.

The second senior brother was not stubborn, the crypt and the secret passage had already been dug, and only the laying of blue bricks was left. He packed up his tools and said "hard work sister", and drilled out of the hole,?Covered in mud from head to toe, but full of joy and refreshing.

Every step on the road of practice is a new experience for him.

He enjoys this novelty and joy!

At night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

After the "Lighting Lantern Worship" prayer ceremony was held in the main hall on the eighth day of the first lunar month, the second senior brother, Yue Anyan, the donkey, and the mountain badger set off first, heading for the remote mountain in the northwest.

Zhang Wenfeng spent some time tidying up the burnt candle lampstands in the main hall, cleaned the ground, closed the hall door, went down the mountain and knocked on the gate of the old lame man's courtyard, and handed over the old lame man two specially-made news fireworks in the city, whispering a few words Sentence, then walk to the northwest of the forest and leave.

The old cripple went back to the house and picked up his newly made iron gun, and went to the next door to call Wei Jingjie.

One old and one young, each armed with long spears, wandered around the Xianling Mountain to patrol, if they found someone breaking into the battle, ignore it, just light the fireworks and throw them into the sky,?The old cripple was worried that his old eyesight would be dim, and he would miss the Lord's entrustment,?Call the boy together,?There is a care.

Zhang Wenfeng rushed to the outside of the unnamed cave, the donkey wandered around to watch the wind, said hello, and the donkey continued to stroll.

He poked out his consciousness and saw two people and a badger busy in the cave. Yue Anyan used a water-moving talisman bought from the city to squeeze the water surface near the mound to form a huge depression, so that they could move around the mound. Digging rocks below.

The mountain badger is indeed a good hand at digging rocks and holes, with sharp claws and a combination of teeth.

It can instinctively tell which place has more mud and less rock, and starts from the weak point, planing quickly, basically without hurting the root system of Lingzhi.

He greeted the two people in the cave, but Zhang Wenfeng didn't go in to join in the fun, and the two wouldn't let him do anything. He came here to protect the escort and make sure everything was safe.

If something happened, he would not hesitate to use Yuan Qi to deal with it.

Lying on the withered grass on the south-facing hillside with both hands on the pillow, watching the half moon in the sky and waiting.

I heard from the second brother that the nearby villagers called this narrow and long mountain forest with a radius of [-] to [-] miles "the haunted forest". , except for the hunters who come here after autumn and winter to hunt herbs and pick dried fruits, there are usually few people.

There must be a reason for things to happen.

I just don't know why the staff sent by the Daolu branch didn't find out that there was a ghost-faced snake hidden here when they went to the countryside last year?

I didn't hear any abnormal reports, maybe the ghost-faced snake is cunning and hiding?

As time passed, Zhang Wenfeng lay relaxed and almost fell asleep. He was relieved to have a donkey patrolling him.

Hearing the sound coming from the foot of the mountain in the east, he got up and patted the grass clippings and sand on his body, walked to the vicinity of the cave, waited for a while, and there was sand and sand emerging from the foot of the mountain.

The mountain badger came out covered in mud, ran to the lord and lay down on the ground, with its belly exposed to the sky, raised its four short legs, opened its eyes and looked at the lord who was smiling, and almost said, come on, scratch it Itchy.

Last time it learned a lesson from the donkey father, when there was mud on its body, it would not climb the pant legs of the Lord.

Zhang Wenfeng didn't dislike dirty hands, squatting down to tickle the badger, picking the tender meat like kneading dough. He felt that if this continued, the badger would be turned into a pig by him, and he would lie down when he saw him.

The donkey came over and raised its hooves angrily, ready to give the little guy who squinted his eyes and enjoyed it a thump.

It was stopped by the spectator with a wave of his hand, so it shook its head and continued to patrol.

About half an hour later, the second senior brother followed the mud hole drilled by the mountain badger and dug a Zhang Xu high tunnel from the cave to the foot of the mountain.

The second senior brother, who was covered in mud, grinned at the standing master, showing his white teeth, and turned back to enter the cave again.

Soon, He Yue Anyan lifted out an object surrounded by mist, and the second senior brother tied ropes vertically and horizontally on the mound, and pasted a purchased soil weightlessness amulet, which lightened more than half of the weight of the mound of rocks, and at most More than 2000 catties, he can resist movement alone.

Zhang Wenfeng had already installed a wooden frame on the donkey's back, lifted the pile of rocks and soil onto the frame, and the group traveled under the moonlight.

I met passers-by at night on the road, and they were covered by formations, so I couldn't see what the three of them were carrying on their donkeys.

The journey was very relaxed, and the three of them chatted and laughed in low voices.

In addition to extorting a sling of copper coins to buy wine and drink, the donkey hurried on the road with his head buried.

The escort returned to the gate of the Taoist temple, greeted the old cripple, and let the old cripple and the boy who patrolled in the middle of the night go to sleep. Zhang Wenfeng came to the haunted forest alone, and he used a shovel to refill the hole dug out.

At that time, there will be a spring rain, grass will grow on the hillside, climbing vines, and everything will return to its original state, except for the disappearing mounds in the cave, no abnormalities can be seen.

The shadow of the moon moved westward, and the night forest was silent.

Zhang Wenfeng was about to go back when he suddenly remembered that there were still a lot of dead bones in the stone hall where the witch array was set up, and it happened that he came here, and it was a good deed to let the bones of who knows how many years ago be buried in the ground.

Go around the sparse waterfall pool in the northwest, and use the rock bumps to make a few vertical jumps and get into the hidden cave.

Take out the magic wood beads, shine on the stone wall to find the hidden water wave portal, grab the shovel and step into the hall, take out a candle from the storage space and light it, go to the corner, and use the shovel to shovel the dead bones into his shop. Inside the opened cloth bag.

There is a metallic luster in the broken bones, reflecting the light of the candles inserted obliquely on the stone wall.
