Chapter 5: The Broken Temple
Uncle Nine urged Zhang Jing to leave in such a hurry because he was in a hurry.
It's still a few hours before it gets dark.
Take advantage of the time to set off now, find a place to spend the night after the evening, and continue your journey tomorrow morning.
In this way, before it gets dark tomorrow, they will almost be able to reach Renjia Town.
Rushing is a very boring thing, and at the same time it is a relatively difficult thing.
This is especially true for modern people like Zhang Jing, who used to live with convenient transportation.
In the past, as long as it was more than fifteen minutes away, he would consider taking a taxi. It is really a torturous thing to travel in a hurry like now, often measured in days.
Even if his physical fitness is not weak now, after a few hours, he will inevitably have backache and leg pain, and he will be too tired to work.
But now that Uncle Nine is walking in front, he doesn't say anything, and of course he doesn't shout tired.
Finally, when it was getting dark, the two happened to pass by a village, and Uncle Nine pointed to a ruined temple at the entrance of the village and said, "Let's rest here for the night tonight." ”
Call~
Zhang Jing breathed a sigh of relief and could finally rest.
After a long day of driving, he felt that his leg was about to break. As for why he rested in the ruined temple instead of going into the village to find someone to spend the night, Zhang Jing didn't mind.
In such a small village, there is no inn or anything like that, where is it so easy to find a good Samaritan for you to spend the night.
After all, he and Uncle Nine are Taoist priests, not monks.
Speaking of which, no matter which dynasty it is, or the identity of a monk, the success rate is extremely high.
Taoist priests don't have this kind of preferential treatment.
There's no way, the monk will fool people.
Their set of rhetoric, what kind of good deeds to accumulate virtue and cultivate the next life, believe in me that you will not have to suffer after death, and you can still have a good birth in the next life, and it is easy to coax most believers and make them willing to give.
But what about Taoist priests?
Not to mention brainwashing believers, even if believers come to the door with their eyes, you have to see if you have the qualifications first!
The ruined temple seems to have been rested by passing travelers often, and there are no cobwebs in it, so after a little tidying up, the fire is raised, and the two of them sit down in front of the fire and begin to eat dry food.
In addition to being sleepy and lacking in a hurry, the food is also worth complaining about.
This kind of dry food, even dogs will not eat it in the next generation!
Zhang Jing took a bite of the cold and hard steamed bun, it was really hard to swallow, but he couldn't eat it, and he was hungry early in the morning.
If you don't fill your stomach, what will you do tomorrow?
I'll have to travel all day tomorrow!
With just a sip of cold water, I finally swallowed a whole steamed bun.
Zhang Jing glanced at the ninth uncle next to him and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Tsk, Uncle Nine is Uncle Nine!
Eating dry food is also light and light, quite a mastery, a small sip, no need to drink water, elegant and calm.
"Ahem, ahem!"
Just when Zhang Jinggang thought so, Uncle Nine suddenly couldn't help but cough continuously, and his face was flushed.
Some steamed bread foam squirted out of his mouth uncontrollably.
Belch......
Well, overthinking.
"Water, water......" Uncle Nine covered his mouth, still coughing, and said to Zhang Jing.
Zhang Jing hurriedly handed over the kettle: "Uncle Shi, give it." ”
Uncle Nine took the kettle and took a big sip, only then did he relax and stop coughing.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, so Zhang Jing changed the topic and asked, "Uncle Shi, you seem to have been on the road for a long time, and you are not tired at all." Cultivating our Maoshan Dao method can also ...... Do you want to be fit?"
This is also a question he is curious about.
The world now is undoubtedly very different from the world he once knew.
There are demons, ghosts, and Taoism!
But now, Zhang Jing knows very little about Taoism, and he doesn't know the difference between Taoism and the 'immortal technique' in his cognition.
He had to figure this out so that he could decide how he should use the merit points of the system.
Uncle Jiu's face was a little red because of the rude just now.
Hearing that Zhang Jing took the initiative to change the topic, he glanced at Zhang Jing with great satisfaction, and his son can be taught.
If his two uncompetitive apprentices saw that they were choking on food, they would probably only steal the secret joy when they thought of handing him water and changing the topic.
Coughing again and clearing his throat, Uncle Nine explained: "Maoshan Dao Technique is just a very general term, which can be divided into many different parts in detail. For example, it can be divided into exercises, formulas, talismans, and so on. Among them, the exercises will have the effect of refining the body. ”
Subsequently, Uncle Nine briefly explained to Zhang Jing what the functions of the exercises, tricks, and talismans were.
Roughly speaking, the level of the exercises represents the depth of a person's humanity and the strength of his mana.
And if you want to catch demons and exorcise ghosts, you just practice the exercises but you can't do it, you need to look at all kinds of tricks and talismans.
Just like Zhang Jing's previous 'exorcism talisman' against evil ghosts, it is a kind of talisman that specializes in curing evil ghosts.
Therefore, the exercises are like the foundation of a house, and the tricks, footwork, talismans, and so on are all kinds of houses built on the foundation.
With the exercises, you can practice the magic and depict the talismans.
If the foundation is not strong enough, even if you are given a powerful trick, you can't use it.
Even if it costs a lot and can barely be used, the power will be greatly reduced!
"This seems to be a bit the same as the internal and external skills in martial arts novels, right?"
Zhang Jing pondered secretly in his heart.
Exercises are equivalent to internal strength.
And the tricks, talismans, formations, and footwork are equivalent to all kinds of swordsmanship, knife techniques, fist techniques, and light skills.
Now Zhang Jing has a number in his heart, what should he use to improve his few two hundred merit points.
You must first improve your True Yang Gong!
If you improve your True Yang Gong, you will be able to have the most superficial mana, and you can also strengthen your body.
The most intuitive thing is that you don't have to be as tired as today when you are in a hurry.
As for the Five Thunder Mantras, when there are merit points in the future, it will be improved again.
Anyway, with Uncle Jiu, I am not afraid that there will be no chance to subdue demons and eliminate demons, and there will be opportunities to earn merit points.
"Did Senior Brother Zhang teach you the exercises before leaving?" asked Uncle Jiu.
Zhang Jing replied, "Taught me True Yang Gong. In addition to this, a magic trick was also taught, the Five Thunder Mantra. ”
"True Yang Gong and Five Thunder Mantras?" Uncle Jiu seemed a little surprised, and said, "These two exercises and techniques are the more difficult ones for me to get started in Maoshan Magic. Especially the Five Thunder Mantra, cultivating this method is extremely demanding. There are very few people I know who have practiced this technique. ”
Zhang Jing nodded and said seriously: "No wonder." I still have some experience in cultivating True Yang Gong, and I feel like I'm about to get started. But the Five Thunder Mantras have no clue over the years. ”
Well.
After a while, I will use merit points to improve my true yang skills, and now it will be regarded as a vaccination.
Don't let Uncle Nine tomorrow be too surprised to see that he suddenly started True Yang Gong.
But he didn't notice that Uncle Nine shook his head slightly when he heard this, and a smile appeared in the corner of his eyes.
It was very difficult to cultivate the Five Thunder Mantra, but he didn't say that cultivating True Yang Gong was easy!
True Yang Gong, in the Maoshan Introductory Exercises, is also very difficult.
Without the guidance of a master, it is basically impossible to get started by cultivating on your own!
Just like his two apprentices, Wencai and Qiusheng, have been practicing by his side for several years, and they haven't started yet!
This nephew is not bad, and he is also very smart, but he loves to brag a little.
This can be seen from Li Yuanwai's house.
