Chapter Twenty-Three: The Sudden Acceptance of Disciples
Changning view to the west fifteen miles.
A low mountain range, the mountain road winds through, beside the road, there is a land temple, the incense is not extinguished, if the passerby misses the night stay, you can enter the temple to incense, offer sacrifices, in this way, you can seek the blessing of the land lord, from the invasion of evil.
At this time, Master Tan and his entourage were in the Land Temple.
In addition to the two accompanying boys, Su Ningan and Lu Tao, there were also two martial cultivators to follow, one in the Dirt Refining Realm and the other in the Bone Forging Realm.
These two people, Su Ningan knows, and they are also acquaintances.
Lin Musen and He Chong were the martial arts masters who were in charge of Shuangzhaotang during the big exam, and they were responsible for protecting Master Tan during this trip.
In the Land Temple, Master Tan is putting incense on the statue of the Land God.
"There is a Guo Zhuang nearby, the Guo family is a big family in Cixi County, and the most important thing is that the ancestor of the Guo family used to be a Taoist official, that is, a real person in a yellow robe, after the fall, the soul fire is not extinguished, in order to prevent it from being transformed into evil, a land temple was built here."
"This land is the ancestor of the Guo family, not an obscene shrine, in addition to the efforts of the Daomen, there is also the purple heavenly book issued by the imperial court, plus the incense of all living beings, it can also protect the peace within a radius of ten miles."
Lu Tao whispered in Suningan's ear.
"Don't look at this pillar of incense that Master Tan is on now, it seems ordinary, in fact, this is a pillar of incense, the most important material comes from the spirit world, there is no market, and it is difficult to find it on the black market, as long as you light this pillar of incense, you can invite a god like the land!"
"When it matters, it will definitely save your life!"
He said with some envy.
"Only a mage has such a big hand, lighting the incense, just communicating with the land lord for a ...... Within the jurisdiction of the land, once there is an evil spirit, even if it is transited, it cannot escape His sense. ”
"As long as the land lord gives face and knows everything and says everything, then Master Tan can know the situation within a radius of ten miles, so that we will have a lot less trouble, and we no longer need to climb mountains and wade around."
"Of course, ordinary people ask God, the land lord may not give face, and it is impossible for us Changningguan people not to come out."
While listening to Lu Tao's introduction, Su Ningan looked at Master Tan.
Even when he entered the temple and had tiles covering his head, Master Tan was still holding a big black umbrella, he always stood under the umbrella, never stepping out of the umbrella, even his shadow was the same, twisting and shrinking under his feet, never leaving the halfest.
"Senior brother, there's nothing to see, mortal with the naked eye, even if the spiritual realm unfolds right in front of you, you can't see any fame, unless you have a spiritual root and open your spiritual eyes, such a person is a natural Fa cultivation seed, which is extremely rare!"
After a while, Master Tan finished communicating.
He walked over with a black umbrella in his hand.
He beckoned to Lin Musen and He Chong, who were standing guard at the gate of the temple, and the two also came over.
"It's going to get dark soon, so I'll rest at the Land Temple tonight."
"Yes, Master Mage."
There are often people in the land temple to stay overnight, leaving a special fire pond, the flame has heat energy, most of the evil spirits hate fire, so there is really no way to sleep in the wilderness, a pile of flames is indispensable.
Better than nothing!
There is a lot of dry firewood piled up in the corner, and most of the travelers feel that they use dry firewood, and they will go out to cut firewood and make up for it the next morning.
Soon, flames rose in the firepit.
However, Master Tan seemed to hate the firelight, and he sat alone in the corner, under the big black umbrella he was holding.
Su Ningan and others sat around the fire pond.
After a while, he beckoned to this direction.
"New guy, come here."
Su Ningan glanced at Lu Tao, Lu Tao smiled and nodded.
It seemed that he didn't know why Master Tan summoned him...... Su Ningan pursed his lips, got up and walked over.
The night wind swept through the open temple gate, the flames swayed, and Suningan's shadow climbed up the walls, twisting and dancing.
"Master Mage."
Suningan saluted.
"Sit, you stand, I have to talk with my head up."
"Yes."
Su Ningan nodded, and then, sitting cross-legged in front of Master Tan, three feet away from the edge of the big black umbrella.
"Your surname is Su, and you are in the Su family?"
The first question made Su Ningan a little embarrassed, and he shook his head.
"It's not!"
"Also, a martial arts genius with seven levels of qi and blood, if he was born in the neighboring Shui Su family, how could he come to be a white crane boy."
Master Tan smiled, his voice was still dry and hoarse, once he spoke, there was a sound like spring silkworms gnawing on mulberry leaves, and Su Ningan needed to listen carefully in order to hear it clearly.
"There are many misunderstandings in the world, thinking that the white crane boy is dead."
"Don't you know, immortals are like cranes!"
"Mediocre people, just like your Senior Brother Lu, they can indeed only struggle in the mire, if they are lucky, they can survive this year and enjoy the rest of their lives in peace, and if they are unlucky, they will be a hundred, but it is not necessarily the case for those who are talented!"
Su Ningan blinked, with a deferential expression.
"How much do you know about our Fa Practice?"
Suningan shook his head.
"There are several kinds of Fa cultivation, among them, the innate spirit root, the innate spirit eye are the chosen sons, and most of them are circled by the three great dao systems, they are like immortals above the clouds, extremely rare, it can be said that there is no one in ten thousand, no, one in a hundred thousand......
"Let's not mention this one!"
Master Tan waved his hand.
"To be realistic, just mention our Daomen!"
"In the Dao Gate, the mage system is divided into yellow robes, black robes, yellow robes are real people, and black robes are me, you should know this, right?"
Suningan nodded.
"The yellow robe is on the right path, starting from the qi and blood pass, grinding the skin and breaking the bones and refining the viscera and finally to the congenital, and after becoming the congenital, then the spiritual eye is opened up and the Fa is cultivated, this is a real person, which means a real cultivator, and our black robe ......"
Master Tan smiled bitterly.
"We are not descendants of the Daomen, most of us have strayed into the spiritual world before the congenital, and we are lucky enough to obtain spiritual consciousness and be able to use spiritual power to cast spells, but, because the foundation is not strong, every time we cast a spell, we will actually have a backlash, and we will be infected by spiritual factors, and if we are not careful, we will fall into the devil, lose ourselves, and become a new evil!"
"The Dao Sect accepts us, and there are many magic weapons to protect us, which can slow down the speed of spiritual infection, and of course, we also need to do things for the Dao Sect."
"The seven mages in the Mage Building in the Changning Guannei are all from such a background!"
"Oh!"
Su Ningan looked suddenly enlightened.
He didn't know why Master Tan was saying this to himself, it must not be a whim, and he regarded himself as an object to talk to.
There must be some purpose.
However, he was not in a hurry.
Just wait slowly.
"I'm optimistic about you!"
Master Tan stared at Su Ning'an, his eyes blazing.
Suning was taken aback.
What do you mean?
"Fourteen-year-old qi and blood are sevenfold, and I have the opportunity to become a congenital, such a pearl in the sea, I was actually met by my Tan Xiuyuan, this is the opportunity God gave me!"
Master Tan's expression became more and more frenzied.
"Su Ning'an, you are willing to worship me as a teacher!"
"As a teacher, you must be trained by a good student, so that you can be promoted to congenital and become a yellow robe!"
Su Ningan's expression was calm.
"So, what can I do for Master Mage?"
The frenzy on Master Tan's face dropped slightly.
"Now, you don't need to do anything, when you become a real person in the yellow robe, you only need to do one thing for me......"
