Chapter 222: The Wish of the Peoples

In the traditional concept of the Chinese people, they pay attention to fate and cause and effect.

Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, good people will be rewarded, and the wicked will be rewarded in the end.

Most people have been instilled with this kind of morality from an early age, and it seems simple and simple, but the more you think about it, the more you can realize that there is truth in it.

The accumulation of good will be blessed, and the accumulation of evil will be a disaster, which is by no means just an empty vernacular that leads people to goodness.

Tan Haoliang has been conscientious and impartial in enforcing the law over the years, and he is upright. He was kind to others and enthusiastic about helping, which allowed him to accumulate a lot of good fortune.

There is righteousness and good fortune in the body, and now it is more popular and the people's wishes, what kind of huge fate should it be?

It is precisely because of this that Xuan Wei will assert that Tan Haoliang's life should not be extinguished.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the side quest [One Leaf Blind] and getting the task reward: Qi Hope (Blue Quality)!"

The system sent a prompt at the right time to complete the task, and advanced the Xuanwei Hope Qi Technique to the blue quality.

Xuanwei's spirit was invigorated, the magic spell of Wangqi was extremely practical, and in the past, only the green quality Wangqi technique had repeatedly helped him, so wouldn't the advanced blue quality Wangqi technique benefit a lot?

Moreover, as his proficiency increased, Xuan Wei felt more and more that there were many possibilities for exploring the Qi Technique.

The blue quality of the Qi Hope Technique, compared to the improvement of the green quality, is definitely not only an increase in the number of daily uses.

"Ding! The host meets the conditions for triggering the quest, and the side quest [Wish of the People] is opened! The people's wishes, the national fortune, and the destiny of heaven, please let the host operate the Jiao Ritual to prolong life, pray for the seriously injured Tan Haoliang to prolong his life, and tide over the difficulties!Quest reward: Glass Everlasting Lantern (Golden Quality)!"

Without waiting for Xuanwei to experience the subtlety of the Blue Quality Qi Technique, the system sounded the task prompt again.

"Yansheng Jiao?" Xuan Wei couldn't help but jump in his eyelids, a little surprised by the system's ability to make trouble.

As we all know, the various rituals of the Taoist gate are complex and simple, ordinary points such as praying for blessings and seeking luck, which belong to the regular business of most Taoist temples, and slightly more cumbersome ones such as relieving evil spirits and driving away evil spirits, praying for rain and thunder, etc., these Jiao rituals are not just any Taoist temple can be competent.

As for Yansheng Jiao, it may not be the most cumbersome and difficult ritual, but it is definitely the most tricky ritual in the Daomen.

The names of Yansheng Jiao vary from place to place in China, and even the processes and rituals are different, but their purpose is to prolong life and longevity.

For example, Shu has spread a kind of Yansheng Jiao called "Solitaire Shou", the basic process is to first install incense to bless the gods, and then unravel the defilement and worship the stove, and then turn to the core ceremony of asking the gods to come to the altar to bless and give longevity.

If you want to say that the most widely circulated Yansheng Jiao among the people, it is the story of Zhuge Liang lighting the seven-star lantern in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Legend has it that Zhuge Liang felt that his life would be exhausted during the Northern Expedition, so he set up a seven-star lamp in Wuzhang Plain, if the main lamp is not extinguished within seven days, he can increase his life for a century. However, the will of heaven was difficult to disobey, and Wei Yan accidentally knocked over the main lamp when he hurriedly reported the military situation, resulting in the failure of his life extension, and finally the stars fell into Wuzhang Plain.

Of course, there are a lot of artistic renderings in this story, but this seven-star lantern Yansheng Jiao is not fabricated out of thin air, but there are traces to follow.

Gu Yun "the north and the south are born and the Beidou is killed", the legend of people's life and death is controlled by the Nandou and the Beidou, and the folk have the Beidou belief from this. The Seven Star Lantern Yansheng Jiao, in essence, is the Taoist ritual that extends from this!

Although Yansheng Jiao exists and spreads among the people, it is unlikely to have any effect. Some clever monks may be able to make the critically ill live for a while longer to account for the future, but they are categorically unable to achieve the miraculous effect of increasing the life expectancy of an age.

The reason is obvious, life and death are the destiny of heaven, and if it touches the scope of the rules of heaven, how can it be easily tampered with with with a mere Jiao ceremony?

Taking a step back, Yansheng Jiao is a success, how much price do the abbots have to pay, and what consequences should they bear?

It is precisely because of this that when Xuanwei heard the content of the task released by the system, he showed a moved face.

"Immature! Host, you are still too young! The rules of the Heavenly Dao cannot be violated, but this does not mean that you can't take tricks! Provoking the rules with brute force, that is the behavior of a reckless man, and no matter how iron the head is, can you have the iron rules of the Heavenly Dao? Therefore, if you are rigid in thinking, you must know that you can use your strength to fight and move a thousand pounds in four or two, understand?" The system said with a little disdain, and said a lot of rare words.

Although the tone of the system is very poor, Xuan Wei has to admit that the system's prompts make him feel like he has seen the clouds and suddenly opened up.

"Birth, old age, sickness and death have risen to the category of heavenly rules, and if you make changes forcefully, it is equivalent to going against the sky, and there is no doubt that you are seeking your own death. Think about it from another angle, the rules of the Heavenly Dao not only cover birth, old age, sickness and death, just like a sophisticated machine, the rules that include birth, old age, sickness and death are just one of the gears, and there are also gears that represent other rules related to it. Xuan Wei muttered to himself, and instantly understood what the system meant by tricks.

In theory, this approach is possible, but in practice it is still fraught with uncertainties. After all, when it comes to the rules of the Heavenly Dao, if you are not careful, you will suffer the curse of heaven and end up with a dead end.

"No wonder you, the profiteer system, are willing to give out gold-quality items as rewards, it's all a routine!" Xuan Wei sighed lightly and took on this extremely challenging task.

Give it a go, turn a bicycle into a motorcycle, if you blindly cherish your body and cower away, then what kind of way is it to cultivate?

"The crabs in the supermarket know to climb into the high-priced cabinet next to them, if they don't even have this bit of motivation, what's the difference between it and salted fish? Oh, no, salted fish is also looking to turn over!" The system instilled chicken soup very seriously.

Xuan Wei didn't bother with the system that was out of control when he entered the role of Spiritual Mentor, and the only thing he cared about at the moment was how to complete this task.

"Assuming that the trick that Poor Dao just thought of was right, which gear should be turned now?and, how can we make the gears turn?" Xuanwei's thoughts continued to spread, and it was a little difficult to sort out for a while.

At this moment, the commotion coming from nearby pulled Xuan Wei back to reality.

"Look, Meteor!"

"Wow, what a bright meteor!"

"Hurry up and make a wish, pray that Comrade Tan Haoliang can turn evil into good fortune and recover soon!"

"Hey, the starlight is falling, could this be a bad omen?"

"It's a bit mysterious, a big meteor, so coincidentally, it happened to pass by at this time. ”

Xuan Wei subconsciously raised his head, and happened to see the trajectory of a meteor crossing the sky, and the end of the meteor's disappearance was impressively above the hospital.
