Chapter 17: You Want to Be a Taoist

Tianzun's, it's so cold!

Zhang Xujing's teeth chattered, and he ran Xiao Zhou Tian again, constantly transforming the cold yin qi into usable qi.

The transformation of yin and evil breath into qi is also the principle of yin and yang complementary, mutual and mutually beneficial, heaven and earth are divided into yin and yang, yin and yang are hidden and mutually contained, which can not only restrain each other, but also transform each other through some conditions, and the human body itself is the carrier of yin and yang balance and opposites, which is also the reason why monks can absorb the essence of the sun and the moon respectively and can make good use of it.

Xiao Zhou Tian ran over and over again, and the chill on Zhang Xujing's body gradually subsided, and the crystal nucleus evil qi that originally brought a bone-chilling chill was also precipitated in the dantian and transformed into a usable qi engine.

And with the increase of the qi, the lower abdomen began to have a noticeable sense of swelling, until the last trace of cold qi turned into a qi machine and fell, Zhang Xujing only felt that the dantian was suddenly empty, and there was a feeling of loss in a trance.

It's just that what he can't see is that the air flow in his dantian, which was originally like a faint smoke, was much richer than before, although the volume was shrinking at this time.

Broke through.

Zhang Xujing exhaled deeply.

From now on, he is a Taoist priest.

In addition to the master, he should be regarded as the only Taoist priest who has reached the level of a conferrer in modern times, and when he reaches this realm, he can draw a beginner-level talisman with the help of the qi machine in his body, he can perform the simplest sealing technique, and he can arrange a killing formation, which is a completely new field that is different from ordinary Taoist priests.

Zhang Xujing pressed down the excitement in his heart and began to continue to meditate on the Spiritual Diagram and Meditation Sutra.

According to the Sutra of Meditation, if you want to improve your cultivation, you need to constantly absorb the vitality between the weather and introduce it into the dantian into qi.

The size of the human dantian is destined by birth, and the amount of vitality that can be absorbed is also a fixed number, the so-called "to the beginning of the truth, to the truth of the Lord, the spirit of the essence, deep hidden as the void ......"

That is to say, the size of each person's dantian cannot be changed, what can be changed is the strength of the dantian and the concentration of the qi, what the monk has to do is to compress the vitality into a liquid state or even a solid state and store it in the dantian in the continuous cultivation, just like a drop of water is small, but it can be filled in a larger space when turned into a gaseous state, and the same is true for the qi.

Like the monks in ancient times, the height is only a few feet, and the dantian is only an inch, but there is a sword qi in the sky between the waves, to put it bluntly, the qi in the dantian has been condensed into a liquid or solid, for example, the formation of a golden pill in the body is the solidification of the qi, and the liquid vaporizes in the process of release, and the solid sublimates to achieve the effect of a large-scale strike.

The boring cultivation continued, during which Zhang Xujing did not forget to replace the incense candles on the altar, until three o'clock in the morning, the qi in the dantian was full, and the absorption speed of the vitality began to become slower and slower under the pressure of the dantian wall, and the amount that could be absorbed each time gradually became fixed.

Zhang Xujing opened his eyes, got up with his hands on the ground, came to the back of the base of the Xuannu statue by candlelight, opened the dark compartment on it, took out three books from it, and returned to the chair behind the altar to sit down and began to look at it.

The first book is the "Lingtu Dingguan Sutra", which is their sect of Taoism, this book Zhang Xujing has been reciting backwards, turning the pages of the book, there is a dry talisman inside, and the runes on it make people dizzy just by looking at it.

Yuan Jun Swing Talisman.

This is a talisman that has been passed down from generation to generation in the line of Lingtu, I don't know the grade, I don't know the attributes, and I don't even know if it's still valid.

Zhang Xujing thought about it, and put it in the inside pocket of his clothes.

The second book is "Lingtu Secret Mantra", which records hundreds of runes, seals, formations, and spells at various levels, although most of them cannot be cast now, but Zhang Xujing has written them all, and when they reach the corresponding realm, they can naturally be applied.

The third book is "Taoist Heart Demon Record", which is produced by Liu Shizheng, the real person of Maoshan Sect during the Sui period, the book tells that Liu Zhenren strayed into the god without saving the sky, and brought out all the foreign objects he saw, and then for some reason this book became a demonstration of Taoist demons, as long as it is an orthodox Taoist faction, there will be a rubbing of this book in its library.

Zhang Xujing was still in excellent spirits at this time because of the vomiting, so he took advantage of the time to practice the sealing technique in the "Lingtu Secret Mantra", took the yellow paper, and began to draw the first-level talisman.

The night is deep, and in the dark and gloomy city, with the faint screams that come from time to time, those survivors who have traveled through the night and are lucky enough to return home alive are also quietly lurking. Perhaps in this dead city, only this Taoist temple is still stable.

In the early morning of the next day, Liang Annie and the others had a rare sleep, and when they got up, it was already bright outside, and Pei Yan got up early to prepare breakfast. This made Zhang Ning and Shen Dongling very embarrassed, so they said that they would make lunch and dinner.

Zhang Xujing still kept drawing talismans, and when the qi in the dantian was exhausted, he began to breathe in, so that the speed of cultivation and improvement was relatively much faster, and with the crisis outside, it would definitely be beneficial to have more talismans. At least now, if you encounter an alien like Hu Mengshan, or an evolved zombie, it will be much easier to deal with.

Thinking of the evolved zombies, Zhang Xujing had the urge to go out to watch and hunt to obtain the crystal nucleus, and if there were a few more of those things, it was very likely that he would directly break through to the realm of the second Taoist priest.

But after thinking about it, it is better to be stable, he remembered that the master once warned that any kind of cultivation is a gradual process, neither forever but always successful, nor too ambitious to achieve overnight, the foundation carries the realm, the more stable the foundation, the higher the realm can be spied in the future, he still honestly refines the lower dantian, cultivates the true practice, and gradually sublimates well.

In the afternoon, Pei Yan, who took the initiative to complete the material statistics, came to Zhang Xujing, "Dao Chief, there are now eight people in the temple, and the food reserve is estimated to last for a week." ”

A week?

Zhang Xujing stopped drawing the pen, and before he could speak, he heard Pei Yan say again: "There is still water, I don't know how much water is available in the reservoir in the area, anyway, no one is going to work at the waterworks now, and I have filled all the containers with water." ”

Zhang Xujing frowned, originally thinking that just he and his sister could hold out for a month no matter what, and wait for the external situation to change and then deal with it at any time. Sure enough, the plan can't keep up with the change.

"Let's maintain it for now, there should be a lot of food in the city, and I'll find some when the time comes."

Pei Yan nodded, for the time being, it can only be like this.

Waiting for Pei Yan to leave, Wang Guzheng came over again with a heavy heart, and said embarrassedly to Zhang Xujing: "Brother Zhang, there is something I want to ask." ”

Zhang Xujing looked at the fat brother's twisted demeanor and said, "Say it." ”

"I'm thinking about ......" Wang Guzheng said tentatively: "Brother Zhang, do you accept apprentices?" ”

Apprentice?

Zhang Xujing looked at Wang Guzheng: "Do you want to be a Taoist?" ”

Wang Guzheng nodded and said: "Brother Zhang, you also know that Dong Ling has awakened his abilities, but I am still an ordinary person, so I will definitely not be able to go long in the future, I am very worried that she will leave me, so I want to worship Brother Zhang as a teacher and learn the Tao." ”

"Nope." Zhang Xujing shook his head, "You are past your age, and now that you have entered the Dao, at most you can sit in silence, cultivate your self-cultivation, and do some basic Dharma things, which is harmless but useless to you." ”

Lingtu Dingguan Sutra is that he needs to open the dantian before the age of ten in order to accept the vitality of heaven and earth, and practice according to this, if it weren't for this, he would have let his sister do Kun Dao a long time ago.

"Brother Zhang, do you think I'm useless, Dong Ling must think the same way." Wang Guzheng said unwillingly, and when he saw that Zhang Xujing was no longer speechless, he could only walk away in disappointment.

"Mr. Wang." Zhang Xujing raised his head and shouted.

"Brother Zhang." Wang Guzheng hurriedly turned around and looked at Zhang Xujing expectantly.

"Help me call Shen Dongling."

Wang Guzheng was stunned for two seconds, and said in a gloomy tone: "Oh good." With that, he turned around and walked outside.

When they came to the outside of the hall, they saw Shen Dongling and Pei Yan sitting on the stone chairs under the locust tree in the side courtyard talking about something.

"Winter Spirit, come over here." Wang Guzheng's expression was very uncomfortable.

Shen Dongling saw that it was Wang Guzheng, his face showed a happy expression, and after saying something to Pei Yan, he walked over here, "Fat brother, you are looking for me." ”

"No, Zhang Xujing is looking for you."

"Brother Zhang." Shen Dongling was at a loss, "What is he looking for me for?" ”

"I don't know, you don't know if you go." Wang Guzheng's expression was depressed, and when Shen Dongling walked into the Xuannu Hall with brisk steps, he finally couldn't help but sigh.

"Why, Liang Annie and Qian Nan are both more beautiful than Dong Ling."

In the Xuannu Palace, seeing Shen Dongling coming in, Zhang Xujing put down the pen of the drawing talisman and sat up from the wooden chair.

"Brother Zhang, you look for me."

"Well, wait a minute." Zhang Xujing said, went to the left room and carried two benches out, and put them at the door to signal Shen Dongling to sit down.

Wang Guzheng, who was outside the door, saw it, and he didn't know what it was like in his heart, and he didn't like to listen to the conversation between the two, so he lowered his head and went around the back of the hall.

"Student Shen, is it convenient to talk about your water spirit technique?" Zhang Xujing asked directly, and added another sentence at the end: "This is very important, but if it is inconvenient, you can not say it."

He attached great importance to the elemental spells displayed by Shen Dongling and Hu Mengshan, and if this spell worked properly, he could even make high-level attribute talismans with the help of the caster.

It's just that what Zhang Xujing didn't expect was that Shen Dongling, who heard his words, was at a loss, "Water Spirit Technique...... Brother Zhang, I don't know much, you're talking about my water ability. ”

"Hmm, abilities." Zhang Xujing automatically accepted the name.

Shen Dongling pushed the pink glasses and said thoughtfully: "I actually don't know very well, this feeling is very strange, it is very sudden, my brain clearly senses the existence of water molecules in the air, and it can also affect them, just like this." As she spoke, she stretched out her hand, and the pale blue light in her palm flickered, and soon a layer of water waves appeared.

"Control water molecules?" Zhang Xujing was a little puzzled, according to the records of the Daomen collection, the elemental technique is to form qi with different attributes in the body through special cultivation methods, so as to exert damage with different effects, which is very different from what Shen Dongling said about controlling the water element in the air.

Zhang Xujing thought about it, got up and came to the altar to pick up a piece of yellow paper and returned, "Student Shen, try if you can attach water molecules to the paper." ”

"Brother Zhang, you can just call me Dong Ling." Shen Dongling smiled lightly, took the paper in Zhang Xujing's hand, focused his brain consciousness, and tried to extend the water waves.

However, after many attempts, the yellow paper didn't even get a corner wet, Shen Dongling was slightly tired, and shook his head helplessly, "Not really, the water molecules can't concentrate without my body." ”

It turned out to be like this.

Zhang Xujing was slightly disappointed, if this was the case, the high-level talisman would not be able to be drawn, and it seemed that the ability and the elemental spell were different after all.

Shen Dongling was a little embarrassed, she always felt that the water system was the most useless among the various abilities in the movie, especially like her, except for being able to manipulate water molecules to help increase strength and speed, and then to protect herself from being bitten by zombies, everything else was useless.

"But it's okay, even if you're surrounded by zombies, you don't have to be afraid." Zhang Xujing said with a smile, the water molecules in the air can be said to be endless, and there is no time when they are consumed compared to the gas engine.
