The Taoist priest outside the Xibian Gate

In 1877, Xibianmen should have been an important landmark in Yanjing City.

The small artillery tower and small arrow tower built in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty can always make passing vehicles realize that Yanjing City under the red flag also has a profound historical accumulation. Countless stories are buried under this crooked tower.

Of course, with the continuous change of national policies, the urban planning of Yanjing City is changing with each passing day. It is now the year 2077, and the Dongcheng District and Xicheng District of Yanjing City have long been merged into the core government affairs district of Huaguo, and the core supreme authority is located here.

The government has put a lot of effort into the evacuation function, and only two facilities have been retained in the government district: government buildings and green spaces. With a greening rate of more than 70 percent, the core government district of Huaguo Beijing has long been a world-renowned model of urban planning. Those who can work in this big garden are the real elites of Huaguo. Except, of course, Matthew.

Speaking of which, Matthew is also a serious national civil servant, with five insurances and one housing fund, guaranteed income in drought and flood, and free food and accommodation. It's just that the unit of service is a bit special: Baiyun Temple Management Office of Yanjing Municipal Administration of Religious Affairs, position: deputy chief clerk and master. The place of work is in the Taoist holy place outside the Xibian Gate: Baiyun Temple. As the only employee of the Baiyun Temple Management Office, Section Chief Ma's job responsibilities are quite important: chanting, drawing symbols, and visualizing.

In 2077, the society has already been highly developed, and the scientific and technological civilization and material civilization have already entered a new realm. Away from low-level manual labor, human beings pay more attention to the development of the spiritual world, and hobbies gradually play a leading role in career development. Breakthrough achievements have been made in music, art, sports, food, literature and other industries, which have greatly promoted social progress.

In modern historiography, the occult is also a small branch. In modern society, with the advancement of science and technology, human research on the natural world has far surpassed the level of the past 10,000 years, and many phenomena that are interpreted or unexplained by occultism can be revealed through science. This shows that the occult itself is constantly evolving to adapt to technological and social advances.

Chief Ma is a hardcore occult enthusiast who likes to study all the knowledge and history of mystical powers, including Yixue, metaphysics, magic, paranormal functions, psychics, witchcraft, yoga, alchemy, and various other supernatural phenomena. He is good at reorganizing, organizing, and analyzing ancient knowledge according to the scientific research methods of the new era, and often obtains unexpected results.

Hobby love and love has become a job, and Section Chief Ma was invited to serve as the deputy chief clerk of the Baiyun Temple Management Office and the master of the Baiyun Temple, also because of his outstanding achievements in the field of Taoist culture. Baiyun Temple is located in the core area of the capital, backed by the state power organs, as the head of the view will assume the role of advisers for high-level people in China, although the future is slim, but the advantage is that it can get support from the government, access to information, sources of information and materials are more authoritative and extensive.

Since his student days, Matthew has been involved in a wide range of schools of thought, exploring all over the world, and for this purpose, he has also customized the latest type of brain implantable research chip: the Mark-2077. The chip is implanted in the pineal gland of the brain and is used as an important prop to assist in calculation, memory, and meditation.

At this time, it was late at night, Chief Ma was lying on his back meditating, wandering out of the world, and there was a copy of "The Purple Book of the High Shenxiao Jade Halal King" on the table, and the thin silk book was spread out, and it was full of annotations. In fact, all the existing Taoist treasures have already been stored in the chip, and the "Shenxiao Jade Qingzi Book" is a Taoist classic, and Chief Ma has already memorized it. It's just a personal habit.

"Pony, scan my body. “

Chief Ma opened his eyes and thought silently in his heart.

The chip sends a sound signal directly to the cranial nerves, and only listens to a mechanical sound:

"Drop! Scan complete, the host is normal"

"Matthew Strength: 1.3, Agility: 1.4, Constitution 1.5, Spirit: 1.7 Status: Health!"

Most of the core content of the mystical power of various disciplines is reflected in the development of the human body, whether it is ancient martial arts, Taoist health secrets, ancient yoga, Buddhist body refining secrets, etc. The ultimate goal is to allow people to improve their physique through cultivation until they complete a breakthrough and develop supernatural mysterious powers.

After years of research and study, Matthew has experienced all kinds of body refining secrets, and his personal physique has already broken through the peak of the human body, but the true supernatural power is still far away.

"Pony, measure the efficacy of the Taishang Induction Method. ”

Section Chief Ma, who closed his eyes and recuperated, was actually meditating with reference to the "Taishang Induction Method".

"Drop, after testing, the Taishang Induction Method can slightly stimulate the host's spirit and physique, and it is expected to improve the host's spirit and physique by 0.1 after 1,300 cultivations. ”

"Yes, I found another effective classic, Xiaoma, analyze the information of the refining effect in the "Taishang Induction Method", and integrate the information into the "Body Refining Book"

Through an in-depth analysis of various health exercises, pure body medicines, and health care methods that can promote the improvement of the human body, the so-called "Book of Refining the Body" is the ultimate achievement of Ma Kechang's years of research on occultism, refining the core elements that can really affect the human body, the principle of reaction, and using the control function of the auxiliary chip on the human body, directly using positive stimulation to refine the body. And all kinds of achievements are refined and integrated, and the final product is the "Book of Refining Bodies". From the most scientific point of view, do the most core screening, select the broadest sample, and use your own body for experiments, the final result can be imagined.

The effective factor of refining the "Taishang Induction Method": 0.37, eliminating the repetitive factor, and finally merging it into the "Refining Book": 0.03, is expected to improve the effect of the "Refining Book": 0.07%, and the time consumed: 17 hours and 29 minutes. “

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step! If we do not accumulate steps, how can we lead to thousands of miles! From quantitative change to qualitative change, it lies in the accumulation of this bit by bit.

Matthew sat up and let out a long breath. Pick up the "Shenxiao Jade Clear Purple Book" on the table and look at it.

"Alas, lead the thunder into the body, compile the Shenxiao rune in the Mud Pill Palace, and visualize the thunder beast Kui Niu inscription in the Lingtai Heavenly Palace, triggering the resonance of the spirit and the body, until the divine consciousness is refined. I think I, Section Chief Ma, am also well-informed, and it is really stressful to practice such a death. ”

"Shenxiao Jade Clear Purple Book" provides a new cultivation idea, using external thunder and lightning as an energy source, using runes and visualization to promote the resonance of the body and spirit, but the theoretical basis of this method is unclear, and the risk is really impossible to assess, even if it is as strong as Chief Ma, even if he is fully prepared, Matthew is not afraid to try it.

"That's it, tomorrow night, when the divine soul is the strongest, try to cultivate the Shenxiao Jade Purple Book!
