Chapter 7: The Five Elements

Qianxue took the book back to the first floor, and saw that Steward Zhang was talking fiercely with an old Taoist priest with white hair, and he was red-faced.

She didn't care what disagreement there was between them, she took the book in her hand and handed it to Steward Zhang, and said, "You remember, I want these three books." Who knows, Steward Zhang smiled and said: "Fellow Daoist, paper books can't be taken out of the museum, you wait." He took out a few pale cyan bamboo slips and put them on the table, and quickly drew a few strokes in the air with his hands, and a ray of light covered the bamboo slips and books, and after a while, the bamboo slips appeared word by word, and disappeared after a while. It's amazing.

Qianxue stared at the bamboo slip intently, she couldn't figure out what Steward Zhang was doing. When the old man on the side saw her appearance, he guessed seven or eight, and said with a smile: "How do you call a fellow Daoist?"

"Chiyuki. Qianxue didn't look at the old man, only at the bamboo slips.

The old man didn't care at all, but instead stepped forward and said, "Qianxue, the old Taoist is talented and intelligent, and your qualifications are wonderful, but it's a pity." After saying that, he shook his head and sighed.

"You know?" Chiyuki glanced at the old man in surprise.

"What do you know?" the old Taoist priest was stunned.

"I have excellent qualifications, and my senior sister said the same about me, but how do you see it?" Qian Xue Qi said, the strings in her body are only known to her senior sister and master.

The old Taoist priest's mouth opened widely, smashed it a few times, seemed to notice the loss of grace, and hurriedly stroked his gray beard, pretending to be profound: "The old Taoist knows astronomy and geography, how can you hide that little thing from me." ”

Hearing this, Qianxue was overjoyed, the strings in her body didn't even know the origin of the master, it had always been her heart disease, could it be that this old Taoist priest knew? She hurriedly bowed, and said respectfully: "I hope the seniors will forgive me for the rudeness of the juniors before." Seeing that the old Taoist priest waved his hand indifferently, she felt that this old Taoist priest was a master of Taoism.

She was about to ask the old Taoist priest, but she heard Steward Zhang say, "Okay." After taking the three bamboo slips, before she could look at them carefully, Steward Zhang handed her another bag and said, "This is a storage bag, and the things that the beginner disciples need are in it." ”

Qianxue took the storage bag curiously, she could see that her senior sister had taken out a lot of things from similar bags, and she didn't know how such a small bag could hold so many items, which really made her envious.

The old Taoist priest on the side saw that Steward Zhang was idle, so he said, "Steward Zhang, the old Taoist will come back in a few days." With that, he turned and walked to the door. Qian Xue hurriedly followed, and when she left the Daode Pavilion, she walked up to the old Taoist priest and said respectfully: "The juniors have a question and ask the seniors to give one or two advice." ”

At this time, it was already dark, and the old Taoist priest sighed deeply, and said with a sad face: "Alas, the old Taoist has cultivated for several children and nephews, and he has more than a dozen errands, so he really has no time to solve the doubts of Xiaoyou." After speaking, he secretly glanced at Qianxue a few times, and saw that she was a little anxious, so he smiled slyly in his heart, and said: "Xiaoyou don't have to worry, Lao Dao will teach in the Jade Emperor Peak Teaching Hall on the fifteenth day of every month. As soon as he finished speaking, he threw out a purple gourd, turned over, flashed a few times, and disappeared.

Looking at the old Taoist priest in the distance, Qianxue silently calculated, today is only the beginning of the month, and there are still more than ten days before the fifteenth. Seeing that the sky was getting darker, she followed the winding path back to the summit, which took her two hours, and with a tired body, she plunged headlong into the wooden bed, and fell into a deep sleep.

I don't know what the reason is, maybe she is too tired, or maybe the aura here is very strong, she has many good dreams, dreaming that her mother is alive, they live carefree, no longer have to live a hungry and full life, no longer have to beg for mercy, she is so happy that she dances with her hands.

But just when she was about to wake up, she seemed to see a girl who looked exactly like her floating in the air and looking at her coldly, shouting something to her, but she couldn't hear anything. Seeing that she was indifferent, the girl in the sky swooped down in a rage, as if to tear her to pieces.

She was so frightened that she woke up and turned around. The hut was still the same hut, and there were no other girls, she exhaled softly. Looking down at her dirty body, she took out a set of coarse cloth clothes, walked to the stream behind the hut, washed her body, changed into coarse cloth clothes, and began to wander around the peak.

There are very few buildings on the peak, but there is a faint aura everywhere, which makes her feel comfortable physically and mentally. She walked along the west side of the moral hall in the middle of the peak, walked for a while, remembered her senior sister's instructions, and turned back.

After returning to the thatched hut and resting for a while, he took out the three bamboo slips. She opened the bamboo slip engraved with the words "common sense of cultivating immortals", and looked at it intently, the originally blank bamboo slip densely showed small characters with a fly's head, but she could see it very clearly, which surprised her.

After reading this bamboo slip, Qianxue finally had a preliminary understanding of the immortal cultivation world. Unlike the world, which uses gold and silver to exchange for items, in the world of cultivating immortals, spirit stones are used as exchanges, just because spirit stones are very versatile, such as low-level monks can use them to speed up their cultivation progress, replenish mana, etc., and some large magic circles also need spirit stones to maintain their operation. Spirit stones are divided into lower-grade, medium-grade and high-grade spirit stones, a medium-grade spirit stone contains about a hundred times more aura than a lower-grade spirit stone, and the same high-grade spirit stone is equivalent to a hundred medium-grade spirit stones. Spirit stones are produced from spiritual veins, which is also the reason why the great sect of immortal cultivators is always built near spiritual veins.

There is also a lot of common knowledge recorded on the bamboo slips, such as the hierarchy, function and value of spiritual runes, spiritual weapons and elixirs, and so on. She just glanced at it, and then picked up another piece of bamboo slip "Five Elements Analysis".

Heaven and earth aura is divided into five elements: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. The gold lord is broken, indestructible, the wood lord is born, and the life is endless, the water lord is soft, and the rigidity is overcome with softness, the fire lord is hot, and the earth lord is thick and indestructible.

The five elements are mutually reinforcing and incarnate all things, and all things have their own shape according to the characteristics of the five elements. As early as more than 100,000 years ago, the ancestors of the Immortal Cultivation Realm had discovered that everything was composed of the five elements, without exception. When the monk uses his divine sense to perceive an object, he can sense that there are countless points of light of various colors scattered within the object, and there are many channels distributed between the points of light in a disorderly manner, forming the shape of the object according to a certain law.

With the development of the immortal cultivation world, the monks gradually realized that the points of light themselves are also substances, and they can also be perceived, and there are still points of light among the points of light. As for whether the light points of the seventh layer can be perceived, no one knows, it turns out that even the divine consciousness of a powerful monk can only perceive the seventh layer.

For ordinary monks, they can only sense the second layer during the Qi cultivation period, the fourth layer during the foundation building period, and the sixth layer during the Jindan period.

Since the matter representing the five elements is itself composed of the five elements, the monks threw out a difficult question that has not yet been answered: what exactly are the five elements?

Different interpretations of this issue have led to the formation of today's various sects. The True One Sect believes that the essence of the five elements is the Tao, while the Buddhism believes that the five elements are emptiness, but Xuanjigu thinks that it is meaningless to ask this question, and advocates that it is enough to guide according to the situation. There are even some small sects that believe that the five elements are fire, and the Lord is uncertain.

Seeing this, Qianxue stroked her forehead, the Five Elements Doctrine is really broad and profound, she looked at the strings in the dantian, is it really as the senior sister said, the strings are actually composed of five elements, and her own cultivation is low and you can't see it?

Closing the bamboo slips, she took the storage bag on the wooden bed, learned the method in the bamboo slips, poured the aura into the palm of her hand, and easily put her hand into the bag. There were not many things in the storage bag, only a bamboo slip, a small sword, some clothing, an identity token, a dozen or so lower-grade spirit stones and a few Bigu Dan. She opened the bamboo slip and saw that it was a bamboo slip that recorded the rules and precepts of the Shinyi Sect.

Looking at them one by one, there are really a lot of precepts. For example, it is forbidden to kill each other, steal, lie, etc., in addition to the saying that "the Tao does not die". The True One Sect has always been reborn over death, so except for the death of parents and masters, it is not allowed to bow down to other deceased, that is, "the Tao does not die".

After writing down these rules and precepts, she took a closer look at the clothes on the side: a pair of green shoes, a pair of white cloth socks, and a blue robe. After she put on the Taoist uniform, the whole person seemed to be completely new, how could she have the appearance of a village girl half a minute ago? She was overjoyed, and took two steps lightly, the streamers in the green shirt swaying, so chic and free.

At this time, she realized that she was already an immortal cultivator. She sat on the wooden bed, thinking blankly about the past. When she was young, her father and mother died, and she lived on the streets alone, but fortunately she met Ergouzi, and the two depended on each other. But the good times didn't last long, a fairy fate smashed on the second dog, she was alone again, and when she was about to die, she was rescued by Pharmacist Mo, but where did Pharmacist Mo have any kindness, but fortunately, a mutation helped her get out of the sea of suffering.

Thinking of this, I suddenly realized that she was only lucky to survive so far. Now, what is the reason why the senior sister brought her into the Tao? If the senior sister has bad intentions towards her, can she have half the power to resist?

It is true that she is very grateful to her senior sister, but she will never let her life be in the hands of others again.
