Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Eighteen branches of Taoism, no sect of Taoism can accommodate all of them, more than ten branches, less than three or four departments, all of which are normal, and the best thing in Chaojing Mountain is the lamp and candle family.
In the afternoon of the same day, Sun Yulu stood in the Qiyao Hall, holding a candle in one hand and a lamp in the other, with a happy smile on her face, as if it was her greatest honor to be able to teach Pang Shan's disciples.
"Lamps and candles, different materials have the same effect, but the lamp should use green wood oil, and the candle should use unicorn wax, both of which are rare things, and dozens of ingredients need to be mixed and modulated, and only a little bit can burn continuously for days or even years. The specific method of making the wax of the lamp candle is a secret that has not been passed down in the Chaos Mountain, if any of you want to switch to Taoism, you can come to me at any time. ”
In the face of such a straightforward pull, the Pang Shan disciples below were a little at a loss.
"Of course, there are easier ways. Sun Yulu blinked, "From now on, you will start accumulating gold and silver spirits." The worst three-night lantern is worth twenty silver spirits, if you want to go out to the mountains to slay demons, you must bring a ten-night lantern and sell it for one gold spirit, if you are ambitious and want to become a ** master, you must also have a night light divine candle anyway - please be prepared with at least a hundred gold spirits. ”
The disciples gasped, they couldn't imagine that the lamp and candle magic device was so expensive, Pang Shan had Hong furnace, Ming Jing and other departments, and they also specialized in making zuò magic weapons, and both subjects taught that as long as they condensed into a pill, they could receive it, but they didn't say that they asked for money.
Daliang Shen Xiuming was so angry that he stomped his feet and whispered to Xiaoqiu: "Do you still remember the oil lamp of the Five Elements Mage Li Yuechi? It was originally held by Fangfang, but it was later stolen by Xin Youtao, it's a pity, I don't know how many nights it is." ”
Sun Yulu's eyes swept over, and the smile was even stronger, "Lamps and candles are very good for Taoist priests, not to mention being able to exorcise evil spirits and drive away demons, if there are monsters nearby, you can also warn early, if you have been living in the Pangshan Dao system, forget it, but if you want to travel out of the mountains, especially in the land of demons, lamps and candles are magic weapons that must be carried with you." ”
Sun Yulu worked hard to sell the lamps and candles of Chaojing Mountain, the disciple was curious at first, and gradually felt bored, and she was not as unsmiling as Yang Baozhen, so a disciple boldly asked: "Sun Dujiao, aren't you here to teach the method of soul detention and soul study?"
Sun Yulu didn't think it was wrong, there was still a smile on her face, her hands flipped over, and the candle disappeared, "I have already started to teach, the lamp and candle are a magic weapon for you to warn demons, but in the hands of the disciples of Chaojing Mountain, it is a necessary thing for soul study." People have three souls and seven spirits, you all know it, right?"
The disciples nodded their heads.
"There is aura in the soul, do you know?"
"What?" the disciples were amazed by this statement, and they had the impression that the aura was all over the world, but it should not be stored in the soul.
"All people have an aura in their souls, and there are quite a few of them. Sun Yulu's expression became solemn, "The cultivation method of the Lamp and Candle Department is to restrain the three souls, grind the seven spirits, and absorb the aura in them. ”
"Is this okay?" Daliang Shen Xiuming asked in a panic, many disciples felt the same disbelief as him, this was too different from the image of a Taoist priest in their hearts.
Sun Yulu smiled again, "Don't be afraid, Ranjing Mountain is also one of the Nine Great Dao Sects, and the Daoists of the Lantern and Candle Sect are no different from you, they all have to cultivate the Inner Dan, and they all have to kill demons and demons, but the methods are different." There are rules for the study of the soul, and there are many rules, the most important of which are two: first, not to restrict the soul of the living, and second, not to limit the soul within seven days. ”
Most of the disciples' expressions still looked unacceptable.
Sun Yulu obviously expected it, and continued to explain with a smile: "After death, the soul of a person will not be dispersed, and he will wander around for seven days, and his memory is still there at this time, so he is not restrained. After seven days, the soul is separated, the memory is confused, and if there is a demon tempting at this time, it is very easy to lose the nature. After 7749 days, the soul disappeared without leaving a trace. The Taoist priest of the Lamp and Candle Division had to detain his soul and study his soul from the eighth to the forty-ninth day, first, not to waste the spiritual energy in it, and second, to prevent it from being used by demons. ”
Either way, this method of practice doesn't sound like it's above board.
Shen Hao, who was standing in the first row, pouted and said loudly, "Isn't this just to attack the demons before they do?"
Sun Yulu suddenly stretched out her right hand, and the small oil lamp appeared out of thin air, levitating and heading straight for Shen Hao, less than a foot away before stopping, although the wick was not lit, it was still frightened Shen Hao leaned back.
"We're not like demons. Sun Yulu took back the oil lamp and said with a smile: "The soul falls into the hands of the demons, and they will never be born or die, and they will never be liberated, but the Taoist priests of the lamp and candle family can make them peaceful." Boy, the Tao is boundless, and there are many more spells that are difficult for you to understand. ”
Shen Hao nodded again and again, his face was pale, and he didn't dare to ask again.
It wasn't until dinner time that Shen Hao's face returned to normal, "The lamp candle family is a little weird, don't you think?"
The partners agreed with Shen Hao's opinion, and the more Daliang thought about it, the more afraid he became, and pulled Xiaoqiu's arm and pleaded, "Brother Xiaoqiu, if I ...... Dead, you must not let people detain my soul, demons can't do it, and neither can the Taoist priest of the Lantern and Candle Family, you help me watch it, let me disappear after 7749 days. ”
At the dining table next to him, a new disciple who had just entered the Cultivation Divine Peak this year looked like he was shocked: "I thought that the soul could be reincarnated, but it turned out to be completely gone......
Everyone didn't eat happily at this meal, and Xiaoqiu was originally quite concerned about it, but seeing everyone's appearance, he turned to comfort: "Lamps and candles are one of the eighteen subjects, and Pang Shan specially invited Jingshan Taoist priests to teach in the capital, and there must be no problem with this subject." Besides, how old are we, what do we do when we think about what happens after death? When people die, even their bodies are devoured by insects and beasts, and they still care about those auras in their souls?"
The result of the comfort was that Daliang's face turned even paler, "Don't say it, I guess I won't be able to sleep tonight." ”
Xiaoqiu laughed at it, and immediately went to the Half Moon Forest after dinner to practice boxing and think.
Yangshen Peak is always a scene of spring and autumn all year round, the snow on the last day of the year did not melt immediately, and it creaked when stepping on it, Xiaoqiu walked into the depths of the woods after practicing, he was already familiar with the environment here, and he could find the hut almost with his eyes closed--Dujiao Lin Sa lived here.
Whenever there was a doubt in his heart, Xiao Qiu always came to Lin Dujiao for advice, and although Yang Baozhen, another Dujiao, would send various pills to help Xiao Qiu practice every once in a while, but the two never had a more in-depth exchange.
It was a small wooden hut of no different size from the houses of ordinary disciples, and the layout inside was the same - the monastic life was very simple, even for the accomplished Taoists.
Xiaoqiu knocked on the door twice, and pushed the door in directly, he often came, and he no longer needed the permission of the Dujiao, but today's behavior was obviously reckless, and the person standing in the house was not Lin Sa, but Sun Yulu, the capital of Jingshan Mountain.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know that Sun Dujiao was here, I'm here to find ......" Xiaoqiu was slightly flustered.
"Lin Dujiao hasn't come back from Old Ancestor Peak yet, come in and wait for him. Sun Yulu said kindly.
"I don't have anything important, I'll come back tomorrow. ”
Xiaoqiu was just about to leave, when the door closed automatically, and he turned around in surprise.
Sun Yulu took out a small piece of candle and put it on the table, and the wick of the candle was automatically lit, emitting a dim yellow light.
"This is the Insight Candle," she said, as if she was still teaching Pang Shan's disciples, "although it is not the best magic weapon, it is also worth a few golden spirits." ”
"Uh...... I can't afford it. Xiao Qiu scratched her head, not understanding what Sun Dujiao meant.
Sun Yulu laughed twice, and then asked, "Have you thought about my question this morning, which subject are you going to join?"
Xiao Qiu was vigilant, a chaotic capital sect of Jing Mountain, why should he care about the choice of subjects for Pang Mountain's disciples?" He said perfunctorily.
"You just gave up the anti-heaven technique?" Sun Yulu immediately changed the question.
"I didn't give up, I just didn't teach everything...... Sun Dujiao understands the art of defying the sky?" Xiaoqiu asked rhetorically.
"I have old acquaintances with Meng Yuanhou. Sun Yulu's face flashed with a smile reminiscing about the good past, "We have traveled together in the country of sacrifice and the land of demons for three years, he slashed demons and eliminated demons, I detain the soul and study the soul, the aura of the demon soul is not pure, fortunately, there are many of them, and both of us have benefited a lot from it." ”
Sun Yulu suddenly laughed, "I once mentioned that yì and Meng Yuanhou had a mortal fate, but he sternly refused, his face was ruined at that time, I said that he didn't know what to do, he said that he wanted to cultivate the art of rebelling against the sky, not mortal fate, and no Taoist fate." ”
"The face of the Monduists...... What's going on?" Xiao Qiu asked softly, although he had not given up the technique of defying the sky, but without the guidance of the Dujiao, he had been unable to do so, and could only meditate on Meng Yuanhou's voice and smile from time to time.
"It was during the tribulation, and he caught it himself. Sun Dujiao restrained his smile when he said this, "He doesn't accept the care and help of other Taoist priests, and he has to rely on his own strength to survive the tribulation, and the result is to ruin half of his face." ”
"Can't it be cured?"
"It's difficult, and he doesn't want to cure it, saying that it's a commemoration and reminding him how difficult it is to defy the sky. ”
"But why does he have to cultivate the art of defying the sky?"
Sun Yulu sighed heavily, "Some people like to sit in a sedan chair and be carried up to the top of the mountain by the servants, and they are satisfied with writing a few lines of poetry at a glance from a distance; some people like to call friends to climb the mountain together, talking and laughing on the road, and the scenery is not important; some people like to climb the mountain alone, and even do not take the ready-made road, and choose the cliff to climb, and one wrong step will lead to death, but he is never tired of it, and he calls this feeling 'against the sky' and 'conquest'." ”
Sun Yulu pursed her lips, as if she was very disdainful and respectful of the latter kind of people, at this time, the candlelight flickered, and she immediately sped up, "The Forbidden Secret Sect and the Five Elements Sect are both using you, and they are more concerned about the secret of the Demon Seed's Dao Root than your cultivation. If you are still interested in the art of defying the heavens, don't follow the path that others have arranged. I just want you to remember one sentence: there are thousands of ways to practice, and they don't necessarily ......."
The door didn't move, a figure passed through the wall, and Dujiao Lin Sa stood between the two, his strong body tightly blocking Xiaoqiu behind.
