The old Taoist priest glanced at Li Xiaoqing, and said extremely decadently, "Xiaoqing, do you remember that I told you that if you forcibly cast a high-level talisman, what will happen?"

"I remember that in many cases, due to the spell, it may be due to the lack of mana that the caster cannot cast, even if it is lucky to be successful, it will be frantically counterattacked by the mana of the talismana, the light ones are confused in the meridians, half of the body is paralyzed, and the heavy ones are bleeding and killed on the spot. If there is a spirit stone, it can replenish mana and avoid backlash. Li Xiaoqing looked at the dying old Taoist priest lying on his lap, and couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, this old guy was still looking abnormal just now, how could he have rebelled so quickly.

"Senior, what's wrong with you?" Li Xiaoqing continued to ask.

"If the Taoist priest is from a good background, such as why the Taoist priest of the Heavenly Master has worn purple and gold from ancient times to the present, there are a large number of spirit stones, and the emperors of the past dynasties have given them all the resources they can get, of course they can be famous, but I am poor. The old man gasped.

The spirit stone looks like jade, which is rarer than jade, and this thing is used to increase its own mana, as long as the divine sense is strong enough, the rune seal can be stimulated. However, most Taoist priests have never even seen the spirit stone in their lives, and even if they have seen it, they will treat it as a treasure and pass it on to their disciples.

"Alas, my old thing is not far from death, can you do something?"

"Old-timer, you can't die, I don't know the way, and if you leave, I won't have anywhere to go. "Li Xiaoqing is very uncomfortable, although this old-timer is not in tune, but he is very interesting, and he is very principled, the matter of Ma San, although he does not agree, but he is really particular about it, and he talks about cause and effect to Ma San, and it is enough to exceed.

"You first say whether you agree or not, I'm going to die, and you're still grinding with me. The old Taoist priest's tears fell down, and Li Xiaoqing couldn't help choking in his heart.

"I promise, I promise, you must hold on, we have to go to your old friend. Li Xiaoqing choked up.

"Nothing else, I have been alone for more than 60 years, only two disciples, the eldest disciple Yang Zhen is now an official in the capital, but he is also involved in this ****, whether he can survive depends on luck, the second disciple Jiang Ming, and my eldest disciple fought in the Liberation War, broke a leg, and ran to Taiwan Island, I calculated, although he is lucky in the future, but it is difficult to improve his cultivation. ”

"Senior, are you relieved that your two disciples are not at ease?"

"No, I'm afraid that I will break this inheritance, my eldest disciple can learn my qigong method and formation; the second disciple has been smart and clever since he was a child, and he learned my talisman and seal to learn Feng Shui Kanyu, as well as the inheritance of the lineage of the Xiangshi, although these two people learned my magic, but it is not suitable for inheriting the Taoist method of my lineage, I want to accept you as a closed disciple before I die, and you have also seen that I can also be regarded as a real talent, suppressing ghosts and warding off evil spirits, divination arrays, feng shui can be seen, people touch the bones, I have dabbled in some of this lineage. The old man finished speaking in one breath, and then looked at Li Xiaoqing with embarrassment, Li Xiaoqing also knew the master's instructions before he died, and he had already learned Liu Jingsu's iron cloth shirt, which was not bad.

"Senior, do you know that I also have a teacher. ”

"It's okay, you also said that your master is a martial artist, what he teaches you is kung fu, and what I teach you is Taoism, the two are not the same thing, you can rest assured. The old man laughed, he was very happy, and Li Xiaoqing only regarded Hui Laodao as returning to the light.

"Okay, the master is worshiped by the apprentice!" He hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to the old Taoist priest, the old man's eyes lit up and shouted loudly: "You are my disciple of the vertical and horizontal path from now on, we are not worshipping the Sanqing immortals, but the avenue of heaven and earth, but our magic is to borrow the aura of the Sanqing Dao method, since the ancestor Guiguzi flew to the immortal realm back then, there have been more than a dozen people who have ascended." The old Taoist said proudly.

"It has been passed down for more than 200 generations, and only a dozen people have ascended. ”

"You kid don't look down on our vertical and horizontal Dao, you inquire, Tianshi Dao, Luofu Mountain, Wudang Mountain, there are more than 100 Huaxia Daomen, how many people have soared?"

"Although we don't believe in Sanqing, but this belief in the right way of heaven and earth can be regarded as the same door as Taoism, as for the magic thing, part of it depends on the power of will, and the other is spiritual power, and the mana intercepted by our sect is quite powerful. The old Taoist priest stood up excitedly as he spoke.

"Master, lie down quickly, don't aggravate your injuries. ”

"What kind of injury, I'm fine, I'm sick of my heart, what kind of Taoist treasure does your kid have, this Sanqing Qi, even if you concentrate on correcting the sect and Taoism for many years, I'm afraid it won't be as authentic as you. The old Taoist priest patted his buttocks, looked at Li Xiaoqing, whose tears had not yet dried, and asked curiously.

"I don't know, it's my old master who taught me the practice of qigong. Li Xiaoqing knew that he was still too tender, and this old guy was calculating himself.

"Your practice is not simple, don't show your method in front of people in the future, in case the anger of the three clears is vented, I am afraid that someone with a heart will come to the door, those Taoist priests who raise little ghosts, and real people who practice ghost Taoism, will be even more afraid of you, and they will definitely get rid of it quickly. The old Taoist priest said carefully. Since beating Li Xiaoqing and worshipping Hui Lao Dao as a teacher, he knew that Hui Lao Dao's real name is Hui Shi Ren, and Lao Dao prides himself on being a "affordable person", but since the last time he was deceived by Lao Dao to kneel and kowtow three times, this Xiaoqing is also smart.

However, Lao Dao's requirements for filial piety are indeed getting higher and higher, and he has to memorize Taoist scriptures every day on the road. Li Xiaoqing is not convinced, why don't we worship the Sanqing of Taoism, but also read the works of Taoist power?

And the old man always says, "I'm the master, I have the say." He sent Li Xiaoqing away. The old Taoist priest taught Li Xiaoqing to look at feng shui face to face along the way, and the two often went to other people's graves without anything, as soon as they saw the ancestral grave of this family, or whose family chose the land or something, the old man took Xiaoqing to the grave to see, and from time to time also commented a few words.

After reading it, the old Taoist priest didn't forget to take advantage of the time when others were burning paper, and went over to steal some tributes and go back to eat.

"Xiaoqing, the rune I taught you, the mantra doesn't mean that it must be based on what I say, how can you say it strongly, how do you say it, the Tao is high to a certain extent, then you don't need to draw a talisman and chant the mantra, just think about it in your heart. The old Taoist priest said and pinched out a spark.

"You try to draw this fingertip fire out without using the fire gathering charm. The old Taoist priest said a little ostentatious.

"Master, I feel that the spell you read is stronger, you see that the fire you think of is a flower, and the talisman leads to a piece, which is not the same thing. ”

"According to what you say, the longer the spell, the more powerful it is, let me tell you, this spell is not like this, the nine-character mantra, the soldiers are all arrayed forward, the words are into the gods, the mana is unlimited, if you understand one, you can start a sect. ”

"Master, this is wrong, I see that you recited a mantra against that Ma San last time, so it's okay to use your cultivation without reciting a mantra, right?"

The old man blushed and said, "Aren't I old, my head is stupid, and I think about it slowly." ”

Li Xiaoqing didn't speak, just gave him a questioning look.

"Don't believe it, let me tell you, that little Japan has a mantra tantra, do you know? Those people chant no more than a hundred mantras inside and out, let me tell you, those guys are very powerful people put body skills and spells together, it is extremely difficult, they call those people Onmyoji. Old Dao muttered.

"Master, I really don't know what's wrong with that little devil, I feel like it's better to come a little bit, I'd better chant the mantra first. ”

"Phew, you think this mantra is simple, the Buddha's Nan Wu Amitabha Buddha you don't necessarily have mana when you recite it, this is Sanskrit, do you know why you don't want to translate those scriptures into Chinese like that?"

"I don't know. ”

"I don't know, you really don't know how to learn. Because this thing has mana, those who say "Nanwu" are not only destined for their fate, but also the righteousness of vowing to return; Those who say "Amitabha" are their deeds: because of the righteousness of Israel, they will die. If it is translated into Chinese, the magic power of Buddhism will be gone, so some mantras are different from not reciting mantras, as long as your mind is gathered, you will cast a spell when you think about it in your heart, this is why you get a monk or a Taoist priest to give people to sit there when they are exceeded, it seems that they have not done anything, in fact, they have already been exceeded. ”

"Master, I understand, this is what the Tao Sutra says, the Taoist is high, a thousand are called a thousand responses, ten thousand are called ten thousand spirits, not self-spirits. Li Xiaoqing pondered.

"Almost, the Five Thunder Mantra, the Heavenly Thunder Break, the Xuanbing Mantra, the Fire Cloud Mantra, the Purple Shadow Mantra, the Green Soul Mantra, the Cangling Mantra, the Sky Burning Mantra, the God Destroying Mantra, the Great Water Mantra, and the Giant Wood Mantra are simple, you practice them first, and then try to chant silently, and when you can pinch your fingers into a technique, I will teach you more advanced spells and formations. Lao Dao said with a smile, Li Xiaoqing lowered his head and meditated this time.

Li Xiaoqing didn't know why he was interested in such a mysterious thing, in the past, Old Man Chen passed on to himself the Tai Chi of the eight books, which was kung fu, and Hui Lao Taoism taught him Taoism, which was Taoism. Li Xiaoqing felt that the master who had met before probably wanted the master to work more on the Dao, so he gave the three clay statues to the master.

More than half a month has passed, Li Xiaoqing and Hui Laodao came to the border of Hunan and Guizhou, and after Guizhou Province, they arrived at the land of Sichuan and Shu, the old Taoist priest wanted to go to Qingcheng Mountain to talk to the Taoist friends of the Heavenly Master, and Li Xiaoqing also wanted to go to Qingcheng Mountain to find the master who taught Chen Shouyi to practice qigong and fulfill the master's last wish.

"Xiaoqing, do you know that the northern wizard draws the talisman 'out of the horse'?" the old Taoist priest said as he walked.

"I've heard that in Yanjing before, it was still related to foreign countries, and the "horse" was still relatively mysterious, what Hu Huang Python often had six paths, people, ghosts, gods and demons and immortals, all the cause and effect were returned to the lobby, and this hall could say that the sky was opened, and the sky could be split with a thought, and the sky could be seen by nature. This thing, especially in the Northeast, there is a shaman jumping god or something, and the mess is really a little incomprehensible. Li Xiaoqing's master Chen Shouyi is a native of Shandong, has relatives in the Northeast, and took Li Xiaoqing over there, and once again just in time for people to "go out" to invite God to attract wealth, and then he saw this.

In fact, it stands to reason that "out of the horse" is nothing more than Hu Huang Python, inviting some animal immortals, such as foxes, snakes, weasels, etc., to practice for hundreds of years, and then cultivate for themselves or also cast spells, come to the mortal dust to accumulate merit or repay gratitude, in order to achieve the goal of ranking in the immortal class and becoming a cultivator. There is still such a thing as going out in the northern countryside, but now the Red Guards in the north are making a fierce fuss, and the countryside is not much of a toss.

"In the past, the older generation always said that North Manan Mao, but in fact, this was the earliest in southern Yunnan There was a beast master, and many capable people under Meng Shu during the Three Kingdoms period relied on the beast to serve him. ”

"The mountains and forests here in the southwest are high and deep, and there are many fierce beasts here, so no one here can afford to provoke those beasts, if you provoke a goblin, you have to go home with you to harm you, you must not hunt in the mountains for a while, and we are not short of that mouthful of oil and water." The old man said as he walked.

"Master, what you're saying is really scary. Li Xiaoqing said disapprehantly.

The old Taoist priest glanced at it and said: "Hmph, you kid, back then, my friend and I fought a lot of spirits in Qiannan, some of them were harmful, and some of them were also frightening. Then one day, we heard that a child had fallen into a cave and had not come out for two days.

When we got there, the hole was bottomless, and the demonic aura covered our eyes, and we couldn't see through it even if we opened our eyes to the sky. I was also young and vigorous at that time, so I went directly to my brother, which was a gathering place for a group of mountain Yao, and there was an unwritten rule in the local area, whether it was spring, autumn, winter or summer, you must go down the mountain before the time of day, especially women and children could not stay in the mountains.

One of these is that there are so many poisonous snakes and beasts on the mountain, and the other is that some of these legends are really frightening, and although people don't believe it, they don't dare to believe it, so these people set this rule.

It stands to reason that I should have asked first before going down, but at that time, the woman was in a hurry, and the woman was too anxious, so I went down with my Taoist friend, and hundreds of people in the whole village were around to watch, and there was a witch beside me, and my brother had to show Taoist spells in front of these people, and I was also traveling with him at that time, so I could only listen to him.

The whole village thought that they were all eaten by the goblins in the cave, but we went down to the cave and saw a woman who was wrapping the child's feet, this woman we saw at a glance that this was a python spirit, my friend went up and took out the copper coin sword and chanted, "The writing is fixed, the copper stinks and abandons, overwhelms one side, puts Nanshan, and the evil demon manifests!"

As a result, as soon as the big snake appeared, the two of us were sweating profusely, this python can no longer be called a python, two sharp horns on the top of the head appeared, and a body of black scales had already turned into a dragon, and it had turned into a dragon after hundreds of years of cultivation.

Our thighs were trembling, and the big snake glanced at us, and its tail was wrapped around the copper coin sword, and this demon spirit alone made the copper coin on the sword waste, and it was sprinkled all over the ground. When she recovered her body, she spoke, "Two Taoist friends, kill my people, break into my cave, disrespect me, really treat me as muddy?"

At that time, I watched my brother's magic weapon shatter and be too heavy to speak, so I hurriedly said, "Since Your Excellency has already transformed into a form, why don't you move to the rivers and lakes and the sea, and have to cultivate in this isolated village in the mountains and wilderness? ”

"Which eye did you see me mutilating the villagers? ”

"Since Your Excellency did not mutilate the villagers, why was this child captured by Your Excellency? ”

"This kid because of naughty, strayed into my cave and broke his right leg, I helped him heal, I wanted to secretly send him back when it was dark, but the patriarch invited a goddess to do it outside, I was afraid of going out to scare the villagers, so I left him to stay with me for a few days. At this time, the child had already fallen asleep with a spell.

"In that case, then we went out with the child. ”

"Yes, but since you broke into my cave, you have to leave something behind, right?"

"I have twelve Qi Gathering Pills here. "My brother has a good background and a good master, and this Qi Gathering Pill can be regarded as a good elixir. The old man said that it was a pity on his face, Li Xiaoqing listened to it, and then he realized that the master had been knocked on a bamboo pole by the monsters in the mountains, so he told himself.

"Master, they all say that Xianju Mountain, Longju Lake Water, why does this python still live in that stone cave after turning into a Jiao. Li Xiaoqing asked puzzled.

"This is what I want to tell you, demons are also good and bad, the python was rescued from the bird's mouth by the patriarch of the Guoshan Yao clan when he was a child, and he kept it by his side after picking it up, at that time Guoshan Yao was not like other Yao tribes, they lived in a fixed place, and the old man did not lose this little snake every once in a while. ”

"Later, the old man died, and when he died, he released the snake, and after the snake cultivated into the essence, he followed this mountain Yao to migrate, where people went, she went, and knew that after the Qing Dynasty, this mountain Yao settled here, and the python lived here, and lived for hundreds of years. Although the mountains are big and the forests are deep, there have never been other monsters in the village, the only thing is that there are many snakes, but this group of Yao people does not eat snake meat, and the snakes do not bite, and they are safe and sound. ”

"It turns out that this big snake repays the favor is true, I used to think that the White Lady's matter was nonsense. Li Xiaoqing said dumbfoundedly.

"Nonsense, the snake demon who can see through the reincarnation of other people's previous lives is estimated to have been practicing for thousands of years, and there is a purpose for such monsters not to turn into dragons and ascend, otherwise who do you think is willing to cultivate in this place where spiritual energy is lacking?" The old man hit him with a brain sticker, and Li Xiaoqing smiled innocently.
