Chapter 157, the man, the mountain, the temple
Three years, in the blink of an eye.
Great Xia, Linlang City, Screen Mountain.
The people in the city all know that three years ago, after the last worshipper in Linlang City sat down, the worship supervisor sent an enshriner. The newcomers did not live in the quaint worship hall in the city, but built a temple on the screen mountain not far away.
In three years, the temple is still a small temple, after all, the people live in an orderly manner, and there is no major matter to bother the immortal master, and there is no incense.
The small temple is deserted, usually there is only one temple Zhu, two Taoist priests, three Taoist aunts, as for others, the people have never seen them.
At night, insects chirp everywhere.
After cleaning the main hall, the temple blessed and walked out with his muscles and bones.
"The Taoist ......"
Hearing someone calling for him, Miaozhu glanced over, and under the moonlight, he was a scholar.
"Oh, Zhang Xiucai, it's so late, do you want to make incense?"
"No, no, no, I'm here to spend the night, by the way...... Thank you, Chief. If I hadn't been the Taoist last time, I'm afraid I would have been buried in the hands of those robbers. The scholar smiled ashamedly and lifted a pair of shoes, "This is made by my mother, let me give it to you." ”
Miao Zhu laughed: "If you want to thank my Taoist master, if it weren't for his instructions, we wouldn't care about these things." ”
"Huh?"
The scholar didn't understand, "But, in broad daylight, these robbers come to commit murder, if this doesn't matter, is there still a royal law?"
Miao Zhu motioned to the other party to be calm, the two sat under the tree, the oil lamp was lit, and Miao Zhu poured a cup of tea.
"Zhang Xiucai, the monks and the common people are different, the troubles and opponents encountered by the monks are like fierce tigers and beasts, if you stand out for you and kill those jackals and wild dogs, but attract more fierce tigers, won't you suffer even more in the end? Those robbers should be under the control of the government of Great Xia, do you understand this truth?"
Zhang Xiucai thought about it and sighed: "Naturally understand." The territory of Great Xia is vast, and many places where monks and mortals live together, if those robbers have monks behind them, and if they come to retaliate, it will cause disaster to their families. ”
"It's good to understand, if I make a move, it means that Pingfeng Mountain wants to intervene in this matter, my Dao master is also a two-city and nine-land, if those people retaliate, it will become troublesome. Therefore, if it weren't for the monk's rebellion, my Taoist master would never interfere in this matter. ”
Miao Zhu said, and when he saw that the other party's tea was also drunk, he said: "It's late, it's not easy to go down the mountain, so you can live in the wing." ”
Zhang Xiucai nodded, and suddenly asked, "Dao Chief, you just said that the reason why you saved me last time was because of the Immortal Master? Why? It stands to reason that you shouldn't meddle in these things?"
Miao Zhu smiled: "My Taoist master has a strange personality, he strictly forbids it, but he also asked me to often inspect and practice." I guess I heard that the surroundings of Linlang City are not peaceful, and I can't bear to stand by and watch. Last time, it happened to be my turn to make the round, so I saved you. ”
Zhang Xiucai took a deep look: "The immortal master is really strange. ”
After Zhang Xiucai was placed in the wing, Miaozhu left.
Behind the small temple, on the top of the screen mountain, a stone platform is simply built here, there is a futon on it, surrounded by several huge oil lamps, on the futon, a young man sits in the middle, and under the stage are two Taoist priests and three Taoist aunts.
When everyone saw Miao Zhu coming, they hurriedly greeted: "Senior brother, come quickly, I'll send you!"
Miaozhu hurried over and saluted the young man, "Lord Dao." ”
The young man nodded, "Sit down." ”
In the past three years, Kong Zheng's appearance has not changed.
The corners of his mouth smiled calmly, his posture was as straight as a pine, his eyes were still deep, his appearance was in his early twenties, but the Taoist priests and Taoist aunts in the audience knew that the young man in front of him was Kong Xuancheng, who killed all the people in Heiqi Mountain, easily defeated Gongsun Que, the son of the royal family, and made the young head of Baishaling dare not refute.
In terms of strength, no one in the Great Xia Territory of the Divine Valley Monk dared to say that he was more powerful than him.
After picking the Taoist soldiers, Kong Zheng was sent to Linlang City to sit in the town, and after that, Jin Chancheng sent a group of maids, it is said that their young city lord is ready to make friends with Kong Zheng, but Kong Zheng has no habit of accepting maids, but this group of maids begged Kong Zheng to stay, Kong Zheng couldn't resist them, only picked three with good qualifications, and the rest were all sent back.
As a result, these three men and three women became Taoist soldiers under Kong Zheng, and they can be regarded as registered disciples.
Tonight is the day of Kong Zheng's preaching.
So these six Dao soldiers were extremely serious, they sat under the stone platform, and after seeing the arrival of the people, Kong Zheng closed his eyes: "Ask." ”
"My lord, you said three years ago that our qualifications are not enough, and the immortal fate has not yet opened, but we are fortunate to have your teachings, and we have also practiced diligently. But recently, we have more or less felt the true qi, is this considered a fairy fate?"
A Taoist aunt with a cold temperament asked.
Kong Zheng opened his eyes: "No." But that's really angry. People live three, and they are full of spirit. Jing refers to the essence of the blood, the heart, the essence is vigorous, the qi refers to the strength, the dantian, the qi is prosperous, the spirit refers to the wind, the god refers to the divine sense, the spirit of the platform, the spirit is prosperous, the clear and clear. The five insects and monsters in the world, including mortals, can all practice qi, but the immortal fate is limited. ”
After a pause, Kong Zheng spread out the big paper, picked up the pen and painted: "Cultivator, practice qi first, the reason is that qi is the easiest to cultivate, and only when there is more qi can you open up the sea of qi in the valley, and the sea of qi is open, so that you can absorb more heaven and earth true spirits into the body, and the mortal qi veins are slender, such as mountain paths, like a trickle, the true qi is infused slowly, and after practicing qi for decades, a pool of water may not be filled, how can you ascend to the immortal?"
"And those who have immortal fate, the qi veins are all avenues. Even if the qualifications are not enough, they are several times wider than mortals, and the speed of qi training is like that of a horse driving, and there is an endless stream. ”
On paper, it is a man walking on a rugged mountain road and a man driving a horse-drawn carriage.
After Kong Zheng personified the qi training speed, the speed of the qi training speed jumped on the paper, and this group of Taoist soldiers immediately understood what he meant.
Na Miaozhu nodded: "But my lord, why do I have to wait for Qi cultivation and can only take the rugged path?"
Kong Zheng replied: "The rest of your qi veins are blocked, and the road to qi cultivation is bumpy. Qi training is like diverting water, there are many sources, there are many waterways, and the speed of convergence into the sea is the fastest. You don't have many sources, there are few waterways, and the eight veins of the Qi Jing are more or less blocked, even if it is a stream, you have to go around nine bends and eighteen bends to gather the dantian, and the speed is naturally slow. ”
Everyone suddenly realized, and another male Taoist priest asked, "Isn't there any other way to expand the qi veins?"
"Yes, in order to let people with ordinary qualifications step into the path of immortals, it takes a lot of natural treasures. Qi is also called meridians, and it is indispensable to stabilize the meridians, expand the meridians, and open up the meridians. After the three are ready, it is necessary to remove impurities, cultivate dantian, etc., etc., the process is extremely cumbersome, and the required natural materials and earth treasures are also hard to find. ”
In the past three years, they have gradually accepted their fate, because Kong Zheng did not fool them, and did not directly deny that they couldn't do it, but told them why they couldn't.
As long as they can do it, they will definitely be able to enter the Immortal Gate, but after listening to Kong Zheng's words, they know that they can't do it, or it is difficult to do it.
Kong Zheng said: "Today's three questions have been completed. Anything else?"
Everyone looked at each other for a moment, and Miao Zhu stood up: "My lord, I had an epiphany when I was practicing some time ago, and I created a set of mortal exercises, and I hope that my lord will give me some advice." ”
This group of people are all top martial artists in the mortal world, including the three women, who are also the female guards trained by Jin Toad City, Kong Zheng has no objection to them practicing mortal martial arts, after all, they also need the power of self-preservation.
"Good. Luo Yuan!"
Not far from the platform, a wooden wheeled cart drove over, with a small doll on the cart and a machine man pushing the cart.
The little doll looked at Kong Zheng in surprise, and Kong Zheng said, "Call a doll to come and try tricks with them." ”
The little doll glanced at the temple wish, and the temple zhu took a step back in fear and pulled out a heavy sword.
In the dark, a machine man walked out, the bracelet on his wrist was very similar to a Sumeru ring, at this moment, the machine man held it in the void, and also pulled out a heavy sword, exactly the same as the temple wish.
"Luo ...... My lord, let your machine man tap it. ”
The little doll glanced at Kong Zheng, and Kong Zheng said, "Do as he says." ”
The little doll's fingers moved, and in the dark, a flash of light flashed, and if you got closer, you could see that on the ten fingers of the little doll, each knuckle had a black ring, which seemed to be used to control the magic circle on the mechanical body.
Miao Zhu and the agency people fought together.
Tonight, the sermon ended, and the next time it would be three months later, Kong Zheng asked himself if he was worthy of them, so he got up and walked towards his cave.
Kong Zheng has a temple, but he lives in a cave.
There is no other reason, this cave is the place where the aura of the screen mountain is the strongest, and it can open up the cave here, thanks to Luo Yuan.
Seeing that the little doll also followed, he quietly returned to his room and began to tinker with some mechanical people again, Kong Zheng fell into deep thought.
Three years ago, when I first arrived in Linlang City, I picked up a child.
The boy was two or three years old, and his wooden cart were placed at the door of the worship hall in Linlang City. At first, Kong Zheng didn't care, but later found out that there was a real aura on this child.
A two- or three-year-old doll had such a vision, which attracted Kong Zheng's attention and took him in.
Further back, Kong Zheng slowly discovered the special features of the child.
After three years, Kong Zheng finally understood that this child was not placed in front of him for no reason, but was deliberately sent by someone.
That is the Thousand Machines Sacred Palace.
There is no other reason, after moving to Pingfeng Mountain, this doll one day drummed up a machine person, exactly the same as Kong Zheng met in the Sancai Festival!
Kong Zheng didn't understand what the Thousand Machines Holy Palace meant by sending such a talented doll over, but he also found that it had his benefits.
The talent of this doll's formation path can be called demonic, Kong Zheng has never been so out of shape when he saw the upside-down formation master in his last life, only a few broken wood, after carving the formation pattern, he can actually fight with himself, who believes this?
No one picked him up, so he stayed.
A year ago, a letter was spit out from the small wooden car, and Kong Zheng knew that this little doll needed to test the formation by himself. After all, his formation technique is not the same as other people's formation skills. The letter was written by the predecessors of the Thousand Machines Holy Palace, saying that this boy's name was Luo Yuan, and Kong Zheng could do a lot of things with his ability, but the premise was that he must be the person who tried the formation and assisted Luo Yuan in his cultivation.
In the past three years, Luo Yuan opened up a cave for Kong Zheng, and the aura inside was comparable to the lower grade quiet room of the Gathering Spirit Pagoda.
He also set up a mountain protection array for Kong Zheng, which made the aura of Pingfeng Mountain several times richer.
Kong Zheng naturally cherishes such a capable doll, and the point is that this child is very obedient......
In the cave, the fluorite on the stone door flickered, and Kong Zheng pushed the door in, and inside was a square fighting platform. All around, dozens of people fought with swords, and even the sword moves were exactly the same as Kong Zheng's.
Today is the day of preaching, and it is also the day of testing for Luo Yuan.
Once every three months, the little doll also cherished this opportunity very much, and looked at Kong Zheng with bright eyes.
"It's time to go. ”
Kong Zheng walked up to the fighting platform, and behind the little doll, a person with the same height as Kong Zheng also walked up.
The organiser gave a standard sword salute, causing Kong Zheng's eyes to narrow.
This kid's talent is really terrifying...... Even this kind of detail has been integrated into the Dao array?
Kong Zheng returned the salute, and the man straightened up, his posture was the same as Kong Zheng's.
Many years ago, Kong Zheng thought that the formation technique was very rigid, and Lu Wucai used his talent to correct Kong Zheng's prejudice, and then, Kong Zheng felt that there were too many restrictions on the formation technique, and the formation masters who used the formation like Lu Wucai were a minority after all. Luo Yuan used his talent to correct Kong Zheng's prejudice.
Being able to use the trap as a human formation technique is the most incredible feat that Kong Zheng has ever seen.
This is not a dead formation, it is a living formation!
Fighting platform, quiet.
The next moment, the sword wind struck.
Around Kong Zheng's body, a scarlet gang qi appeared, like a robe under the cover, the long sword in his hand was fierce and fierce, fighting with the machine man.
This organ is also physically cultivated, and his swordsmanship is quite skillful.
When Kong Zheng fought with him, he looked at Luo Yuan with ease: "No, machine change is a problem, although the physical cultivation is arrogant and brave, but the close combat method is relatively dangerous, there are many opportunities to win, it is difficult to grasp, and it will be calculated at every turn, and you will be defeated on the spot." Your agency didn't change by skill, just imitated me, and you couldn't defeat me at all. ”
In ten breaths, Kong Zheng pushed the machine man to the edge, and stabbed a sword into the opponent's eyebrows.
The machine man stopped moving for a moment and fell to the ground.
The little doll's eyes widened, looking at the results in the field, Kong Zheng walked over: "Why do you want to transfer people's weaknesses to them? You can completely put the cardinal of the Great Array in another position, right?"
The little doll blinked her eyes, and when she heard Kong Zheng's words, her saliva flowed out.
Kong Zheng was helpless and helped him wipe his saliva.
"Forget it...... I don't know what your purpose is, so follow your purpose. ”
Returning to the cave, the trial formation is over, and the things accumulated in the past three months are completed.
I can continue to cultivate again.
......
......
A strange offering, a demonic little doll, and six mortals are all that is the temple of the Screen Mountain.
In addition to this, there may be a woman.
The next day, late at night, when Lin Qingdeng crawled out of his coffin, he saw the parts of the mechanism all over the ground, and it was quite interesting to put them together like a doll building blocks.
Lin Qingdeng didn't have her own cave mansion, because she didn't like too big places, so she asked Luo Yuan to make a coffin for her, and the role of the coffin can also absorb the spiritual energy of the leyline, which is comparable to the lower grade quiet room of the Gathering Spirit Tower, she likes it very much, so she also likes this doll.
"Little ghost, are you taking Kong Zheng to test the formation again?"
The little doll raised her head and blinked her eyes at Lin Qingdeng.
Lin Qingdeng said: "That's a freak, you can't use common sense to guess, and you can't try anything." Why don't you test me out? ”
In the past three years, Lin Qingdeng's skin has become fairer and fairer, and the white seems to be able to penetrate the blood vessels.
She smiled slightly, and her skin seemed to become transparent in an instant, and the appearance of a skeleton appeared inside.
The little doll snorted a snot bubble, cried and climbed into her car, and left in a hurry, Lin Qingdeng grinned and hurriedly chased after her.
"Tease you, don't run. ”
Next door came the cry of a child crying a ghost crying wolf, and Kong Zheng woke up from his meditation and frowned.
"Lin Qingdeng, can you not scare him?"
Kong Zheng opened the stone door and looked at the fighting platform, Lin Qinglan floated up and turned into a skeleton, constantly making a death appearance, scaring the little doll.
Hearing Kong Zheng's words, Lin Qingdeng stuck out his tongue: "Okay, okay, I'll go to the mountains and meet a few friends." Do you still have any wine, give me a little? ”
"Hell, friend...... These few altars of my Tibetan Flower Drunken Moon are treasures brought out by Jian Xuanshan, and only monks of Lei Ping's level can drink them, are you right to fall in front of the graves of those ghost friends......
Kong Zheng was dissatisfied.
Lin Qingdeng smiled lightly: "You are a dignified sword cultivator, an enshrined adult in two cities and nine places, and you are too slamming to lose your grace." ”
Kong Zheng had no choice, in order to prevent her from continuing to scare the doll here, he could only find a jar of old wine: "Next time I go to the city, I will ask for it...... The Great Xia royal family has imperial wine, which is given to me every year. I haven't picked it up this year......"
"Got it, let's go. ”
Lin Qingdeng picked up Luo Yuan's little face, and suddenly stared out his eyeballs, Luo Yuan howled and cried, Lin Qingdeng smiled, took small steps, and left suddenly.
