Chapter 70: The Secret Tower Puja
Under Jiang Mingyu's control, the spirit dust was evenly sprinkled on the bodies of dozens of teenagers and girls, and the clothes and skin were stained with a faint layer of tulle, like a cloud and mist, emitting a faint light. The teenagers were very nervous and didn't dare to move, looking at the Lingchen on their bodies curiously, and a few of them were bold enough to touch it with their hands, but they were stopped by Jiang Mingyu with his eyes.
"There is not much strangeness in the spirit dust itself, but once it comes into contact with people and is stirred by the vitality of the human body, it will give birth to an inexplicable suction, hooking the aura of heaven and earth to the body, and using it to shine, the better the root bones of the disciples who are tested, the more aura they absorb, and the more light they have. In this way, the quality of the root bone is clear at a glance. Jiang Mingyu explained to Hong Jun.
"I see, thank you for your advice. Hong Jun nodded in gratitude, this method of testing the root bone is indeed simple and practical, but if the spirit dust is used on himself, I am afraid it will be difficult to light up.
Everyone present heard the conversation between the two, and immediately understood that whoever lit up on his body meant that the roots and bones were good and he could cultivate the Dao Law. The eyes of the elders of the Jiang family scanned back and forth over the teenagers, but the light they were expecting did not appear.
"Uncle, is there a problem? There are so many children in our Jiang family, and several of them have been cultivating their internal skills for many years, and their progress is rapid, and their strength is not weak, isn't there even one of them who has the qualifications to become a monk?" Jiang Chiyun asked in disappointment. The teenagers also whispered earnestly, looking at each other's spiritual dust.
"Rest easy. ”
Jiang Mingyu pressed his hand, and the hall immediately quieted down, and said lightly: "The monk's requirements for the root bone are so high, it is the threshold of one in a million, and it is normal that none of the dozens of people are qualified, and it has nothing to do with whether or not they can cultivate internal strength." Wait a little longer, if no one has good roots, then you can't force it, you can only say that you have nothing to do with me. ”
When everyone heard this, they all sighed, and their disappointment was overflowing.
"It's lit up!" Suddenly a teenager shouted, looking very excited: "Look, everyone, my sister's body is lit up!"
Hong Jun followed the sound and saw that a circle was made in the crowd, and a beautiful girl was standing in the circle, it was actually his cousin Jiang Ke, and it was his younger brother Jiang Yi who screamed. Jiang Ke's shoulders and the tips of the hair on the top of her head were covered with spirit dust, and a wonderful change was taking place at this time, and a faint spiritual light flew towards her in the air, like a moth to a fire, igniting the spirit dust, emitting a faint light.
This light was inconspicuous at first, but with the increase of the aura of heaven and earth attracted, the brightness gradually increased, showing a colorful color, making Jiang Ke's upper body bloom like a dream. After a few breaths, the colorful glow was so strong that ordinary people could not look at it directly, and if it was night, the entire hall would be illuminated.
Jiang Ke himself was also surprised by the vision around him, covering his mouth lightly, his face was surprised and happy, and he found that everyone was looking at him, and his expression was a little shy.
When Jiang Mingyu saw this scene, he almost didn't jump up from his chair, and said excitedly: "It turned out to be a colorful image, the five elements are all together, and the five elements are extremely balanced, this is an excellent asset for the root bone, ten times better than my root bone, as long as you can pass the level of comprehension, you must be a cultivation wizard that is rare to see in a hundred years!"
Hearing such an evaluation, Jiang Chiyun and Jiang Hao's father and son were all overjoyed, especially Jiang Hao, who almost couldn't help laughing, as if his daughter was even happier than he could practice with this qualification.
After a while, the spirit dust burned out like a candle, and it was completely a task, and the colored light on Jiang Ke's body quickly dimmed and returned to normal. Not only her, but the spirit dust on the other teenagers and girls also flew up and scattered in the void. They wept and mourned, knowing that they didn't have a chance, and one or two of the younger ones cried out loud.
Among this group of young people, only Jiang Ke is qualified, and the rest are all missing.
However, Jiang Mingyu was already very satisfied, he didn't have much hope, and was ready to return empty-handed, but he didn't expect the result to be very unexpected, and Jiang Ke had such an excellent prodigy. Jiang Ke alone can be worth three or four ordinary disciples in the master's sect, this trip is not in vain, and going back is enough to explain to the senior brother in charge.
Jiang Mingyu waved his hand, and except for Jiang Ke's sister and brother, the other juniors of the Jiang family were all taken out of the hall.
"Jiang Ke. Jiang Mingyu shouted softly, he had been hidden in the Hou Mansion for a long time, so he knew Jiang Ke's name, and asked, "Are you willing to practice with me?"
Jiang Ke hurriedly stepped forward and curtsied, "Uncle Zeng, my grandson is willing." ”
Seeing Jiang Ke's well-behaved and clever appearance, Jiang Mingyu was even more satisfied, and he was not verbose, and said directly: "I will accept you as a registered disciple first, and when you are successful, it will be the time to officially enter my door." This is a bottle of Zhuji Dan, a total of ten pills, one service every ten days, you can wash the marrow and cut the hair, after 100 days of building the foundation, follow me back to the mountain. ”
A pure white porcelain bottle appeared in Jiang Ke's hand, and it should be Tsukidan inside.
Hong Jun on the side secretly shook his head in his heart, a little envious, thinking that if he could worship the master, it would be good, at least this Zhuji Dan would save a lot of effort, and the effect would be better than the soup bath prescription.
"Yes, apprentices visit the master. Jiang Ke knelt down, bowed to Jiang Mingyu three times and bowed nine times, and respectfully took the bottle of Tsukidan, his eyes were full of irrepressible excitement.
The three generations of the Jiang family are very happy, but Jiang Hao's heart is a little more complicated. The daughter was just seventeen years old, and when she was in the boudoir, she originally wanted to wait for her to find a husband who was the right person to marry after she was eighteen years old, but she didn't expect to enter the door of cultivation, and the days of staying at home were only 100 days, and once she left, I don't know if I could see her again in the future.
That night, the Jiang family held a banquet to wash the dust for Jiang Mingyu and Hong Jun, and at the same time celebrated Jiang Ke's entry into the master's door. If Hong Jun told the fact that his mother had become a monk, the Jiang family would only be happier, not the third monk, but the fourth monk.
In the early morning of the next day, Hong Jun finished his cultivation and walked out of the courtyard arranged for him by the Jiang family. The courtyard where he lived was one of the best courtyards in Qi Weihou's mansion, elegant and remote, quiet and pleasant, but these were all fleeting in the eyes of the monks, and they were not worth paying attention to.
Hong Jun walked to the courtyard next door, Jiang Mingyu was resting in it last night, and he wanted to visit.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw Jiang Mingyu's newly recruited disciple Jiang Ke guarding the door, her eyes lit up, and she stepped forward and saluted: "Ke'er has seen my cousin." ”
Hong Jun smiled: "Congratulations cousin, Senior Jiang is here?"
"The master is here. Jiang Ke was in a very good mood, she had taken a pill of Tsukidan and had taken the first step on her path of cultivation. When he first saw Hong Jun yesterday, Jiang Ke was very curious about him, and later knew that Hong Jun was a monk, and he was envious, and now she is also a member of the monks, so she feels very close to Hong Jun.
At this time, the main door of the bedroom opened, and Jiang Mingyu walked out unhurriedly, as if he had expected Hong Jun to come, and arched his hand: "Lieshan Daoyou, please come in." Ke'er, come in too. ”
The three of them are all monks, so they don't have so much etiquette and formality, after sitting down, Hong Jun said straight to the point: "Senior Jiang, the junior has just come out of the Great Wilderness, and has never been in contact with the cultivation realm, and the master is also from a scattered cultivation background, and he left after teaching the Fa, and he knows very little about the things in the cultivation realm, so he wants to ask his seniors some things." ”
"Fellow Daoist, but it doesn't hurt to ask. Jiang Mingyu smiled gently, without the slightest intention of shirking.
"I don't know what happened to the Secret Pagoda Puja that my predecessor mentioned yesterday? I heard Master mention it once, but unfortunately I didn't talk much about it, and I didn't have a chance to ask him again after that. Hong Jun asked half-truthfully.
Jiang Mingyu nodded and said, "The Secret Pagoda Festival is one of the eight hundred wonders of Xuanzhou, which refers to a group of mountains hundreds of miles east of the capital city, and every sixty-four years, a cyan pagoda will appear on the top of the mountain, with nine stories high, and it is very peculiar. This pagoda is far away in the sky, close in front of you, but you can't touch it, no matter how you fly closer, the size of the pagoda is always fixed in the eyes, no change, like a mirage, you can see it, you can't touch it. ”
Jiang Ke, who was sitting on the side, said loudly: "A hundred miles east of the capital, isn't that a pagoda mountain? Ke'er has also been to the city a few times, and I used to think why it is called pagoda mountain, it turns out that there is really a pagoda, but I have never seen it." ”
Jiang Mingyu said with a smile: "The cyan pagoda is invisible to mortals, only monks can see it with spiritual eyes, and there will only be ninety-nine days in sixty-four years, once these ninety-nine days pass, even the monks can't see it, otherwise how can it be called a secret pagoda?"
"Since this pagoda can only be seen and cannot be entered, there must be other wonders, otherwise it would not have a great reputation and attract many monks to come and watch. Hong Jun guessed.
"That's right, Lieshan Daoist you are right. Jiang Mingyu bowed slightly, and said: "That cyan pagoda can only be viewed from a distance, no matter how profound the cultivation is, even the Yang God Great Cultivator, who is only one step away from ascending, cannot get close, and this alone is enough to attract countless monks to explore its cause." Not to mention, there are occasionally one or two Taoist formulas outside the pagoda body, with scales and half claws, and they disappear in a flash, or qi refining formulas, or things related to alchemy, or refining techniques, or even the key points of condensing golden pills, and even the methods of Yin God refining form, all-encompassing, but all of them are related to the profound methods of the cultivation avenue, and the mysteries are endless. ”
"From the great monks of the Yang God to the beginners of Qi refiners, it is possible to benefit from the magic of the pagoda manifestation, so every time the pagoda appears, there are many monks from all over Xuanzhou, just to be able to see it with their own eyes, maybe they can have some understanding and break through the bottleneck of cultivation. ”
"It's so magical!" Hong Jun was very surprised when he heard this, and asked, "This pagoda is a magic weapon?"
Jiang Mingyu shook his head and said, "I don't know." The origin of the pagoda is undocumented, it seems that it appeared on Xuanzhou earlier than the monk, and it has been tens of thousands of years since the first monk discovered the pagoda. The vast majority of monks, like you, speculate that the pagoda is a ritual artifact, and some monks believe that the pagoda is a vision of heaven and earth, not man-made, but no one has ever confirmed these two guesses. ”
"On the ninety-ninth day of the appearance of the pagoda, many monks gather in the mountains, and there are often great monks who open the altar to preach, regardless of whether they are high or low, they can listen to the lectures, and they can also confirm each other's cultivation experience, talk about the Tao, or trade the things they need, even if they can't gain anything on the pagoda, they will not come in vain to learn from their peers, so it is called the secret pagoda puja. ”
This custom continued, and now the scale of the Secret Tower Puja has gradually expanded, and the duration of the festival has been extended to three years, and it is famous in Xuanzhou. Jiang Mingyu paused for a moment and continued: "This Secret Pagoda Festival started the year before last, and now it is the last year, and after half a month, the Pagoda is about to appear, and the Secret Pagoda Festival will reach its peak in time, are you interested in going with me?"
Hong Jun agreed without hesitation and said, "If you can't ask for it, you should go as you wish." ”
