A monk coming out of the Daoist temple was already out of Li Ning's expectations. He had heard from someone who was familiar with the area that there were two Daoists, one old and one young, living in the temple. He immediately became wary. On this trip, Wang Changluo had brought salt permits worth over ten thousand taels of silver. It was hard to prevent someone from replacing the Daoists here and plotting against them.
Although Wang Changluo had come to Qixia Mountain in a roundabout way, taking the opportunity to tour Qixia's magnificent scenery, there were many strange people in the world.
It was hard to guarantee that there would be people who could foresee the future and set up traps.
Li Ning immediately cupped his hands and said, "Sorry to disturb you, Master! We are passing merchants who heard about the beauty of Qixia Maple Leaves and came to the mountains to enjoy it. We missed the time to go back. We would like to stay in this temple for the night. I wonder if Master can accommodate us. "
The sloppy monk looked at him with a smile that was not a smile. Li Ning saw that although his face was dirty and his fingernails were covered in dirt, his eyes were clear and bright. They did not have the murky blood vessels of secular beggars and wandering monks. Instead, they had the clarity and wisdom of a monk. This made him even more certain that he was not an ordinary person. As he thought this, he could not help but show it in his actions.
He respected the sloppy monk even more.
"Monks, Daoists, children, women, and young girls who travel alone in Jianghu cannot be offended. There are many strange people among monks and Daoists, but women and children are weak. To be able to travel alone, they must have abilities that ordinary people cannot. " Li Ning secretly observed the sloppy monk. He immediately felt that he was a strange person dressed like a monk or a Daoist, or even a sword immortal.
"I am also residing in this Three Pure Temple. I heard you knocking, so I came to open the door for you. I am not the owner of this place … "The old monk opened the door for him and stumbled inside. He shook his head and said," Clean up the wing and stay in this courtyard. Just don't barge into other courtyards. This old monk is a light sleeper at night and is easily woken up. "
"Since Master is not the owner of this Daoist temple, I should inform the owner." Li Ning apologized.
The sloppy monk smiled and waved his hand. "There are only two Daoist priests here. The old Daoist priest died half a year ago, leaving behind a young Daoist priest who is silly and foolish. He won't even open the door for you. You should deal with him yourself!"
When Lin Ning heard this, he told the manservant beside him to inform the people behind him of the situation. He then pushed the door open and walked in. It was not a small courtyard. No one had taken care of it for a long time. The corners were overgrown with weeds. From afar, he could see the two courtyards at the back. It was dark and there were no lights. There was only a faint light in the last hall. It should be the main hall that worshipped the Three Pure Ones.
After tidying up the rooms on both sides, he heard that the group of people behind him had arrived. Everyone worked together to tidy up the courtyard. Soon, they lit up the lanterns, making the courtyard bustling with activity and a lot of noise.
On this side, Lin Ning and the others had just moved in. On the other side, Chen Ang had roughly figured out his current situation. The old Daoist priest was not a master with mana. The few Daoist books left behind were also common goods. Only a handwritten Daoist Canon with Yang Talisman and Divine Talisman Scripture was interesting. However, it was also the foundation for Daoist cultivators. It recorded a few crude spells.
It should be known that Mount Shu was different from any world that Chen Ang had experienced. It was a world that had truly taken the path of transcendence and opened the door to transcendence. Not only were the laws and rules of this world stricter than what Chen Ang had ever seen, even the cultivation system was the most perfect. It could be said that if one followed the path of this world step by step, the possibility of achieving immortality and ascending to a higher dimension was greater than any other world.
The Mystic Door of the Righteous Path had a perfect cultivation system. The Buddhist Sect had a wide range of doors to enlighten people without discrimination. The Unorthodox Sects, Demonic Sects, and Evil Sects had supplementary exploration. In addition, the perfect karma and fate, the external system of Karma, and the accumulation of reincarnation made this world exceptionally friendly to Daoists who intended to transcend.
There was no greed and chaos of plundering resources. There was no food chain of Daoist cultivators who fought each other to the death.
As long as one stood upright, maintained a pure mind, did not do anything greedy, foolish, evil, indiscriminate killing, bigotry, and did not have any delusion or evil thoughts, even if one walked the unorthodox path for a while, there would be a day when one cultivated to transcendence.
Even if one pursued freedom and was not willing to ascend to heaven and be controlled by the Emperor of the Heaven Realm, as long as one avoided the 49 Heavenly Tribulations in the human world, one could be a free Earth Spirit and play freely.
Under such circumstances, as long as one did not commit heinous crimes, one would have the opportunity to reincarnate.
Although Chen Ang was not a reincarnated Daoist like the sloppy monk had imagined, he was still a mighty person who had crossed over a dozen planes of existence. His knowledge spanned across the Mystic Door's Shinto Path and the mysteries of science. Although he did not understand the cultivation methods of this world, he could still make a rough deduction based on a few of the most basic talisman spells in the Taoist Canon's Miscellaneous Magical Yang Talisman Scripture.
It turned out that the Daoist cultivators of this world were the same as the heroes and swordsmen of Jianghu. They practiced the Innate Qi in their bodies, and then visualized and stored it in their minds, subdued the distracting thoughts in their minds, and tempered their Vital Spirit and soul. They also took the path of refining Essence into Qi, refining Qi into Spirit, and refining Spirit into Void.
However, the biggest difference between the early Daoist cultivators and the swordsmen of Jianghu was the "mana" in their bodies!
Chen Ang put away his distracting thoughts, adjusted his Vital Qi, and mingled in his mind. His consciousness was detached from the world, and he forgot about himself and the world. He threw away the demons of the five senses, and the understanding and restriction of shape, sound, color, and quality. He grasped another sense of the human body outside of the five senses — consciousness. He sank into the observation of all things in heaven and earth, and grasped the essence of all things in the surroundings — Qi!
At this step, he had to restrain his mind and wake up from the chaotic feeling, and visualize talismans, images, and external spirits in his mind.
The key was to have a spirit in his mind that was compatible with the nature of heaven and earth, and to be compatible with the Vital Qi in his body and the external Qi. The representative of the spirit of heaven and earth was the talisman. The talisman was the spirit of heaven and earth, and the talisman was the seal of ghosts and deities. It drove the Vital Qi of heaven and earth, communicated with the spirit of heaven and earth, and restrained the ghosts and deities. It drew the Vital Qi in the body, and turned it into a talisman seed in the Dantian.
This was the beginning of transcendence energy.
There were many different talismans in the Daoist Canon of the Yang Talisman Divine Talisman Scripture. There were the Soul Driving Talisman and Spirit Summoning Talisman to summon ghosts and deities, the Transportation Talisman and Teleportation Talisman to move objects, the Fire Talisman and Water Talisman to create fire and water, and the Evil Exorcism Talisman to drive away demons. The Devil Victory Talisman. They were all crude, simple, and common talismans that could only be used to cultivate some shallow transcendence energy.
With this kind of transcendence energy, if one wanted to carry heavy objects and move objects through space, he had to have the Transportation Talisman. He had to cultivate a talisman with his own Vital Qi and store it in the Dantian. It was the transportation of transcendence energy. When it was time to use it, he only needed to use the Vital Qi talisman to control this transcendence energy and move objects. After the transcendence energy was used up, he had to store it again.
If one wanted to practice controlling fire and obtain transcendence energy, he had to store the transcendence energy of the Fire Talisman. According to this principle, if one wanted to cultivate any kind of transcendence energy, he had to store a talisman that could realize the transcendence energy. For the rogue cultivators, the transcendence energy they had was very shallow. Sometimes, to show their ability, they had to store dozens of talismans in the Dantian at the same time. The transcendence energy was very heterogeneous.
As for the big sects like Emei and Wutai, or the rogue immortals from overseas who had a complete inheritance, most of them had their own lineage of talisman inheritance.
As long as several kinds of basic talismans were combined and matched at will, one could cultivate all kinds of inconceivably profound transcendence energy. They were all formed by the True Talisman of the Tian Fu or the Nine Heavens Treasured Talisman Divine Talisman formed by one's own unique Vital Qi. It could drive away ghosts and deities, control fire and water, control flying swords … it was omnipotent!
Therefore, in the human world's folklores and legends, among the cultivators who cultivated transcendence energy, there were half-baked swindlers and sorceresses, and there were also swordsmen with profound transcendence energy. It was all because of the difference between the transcendence energy and talismans. The transcendence energy cultivated by the True Talisman of the Tian Fu was naturally much more powerful than the common talismans in the Scripture of the Taoist Canon of the Yang Talisman Divine Talisman!
The Scripture of the Yang Talisman of the Taoist Canon of the Yang Talisman Divine Talisman was the only one in Chen Ang's possession. The Fire Talisman, Exorcism Talisman, Spirit Summoning Talisman, and other talismans recorded in it were at the top of the sky. If one cultivated some superficial and heterogeneous transcendence energy, with the True Qi that Chen Ang had cultivated, he could at most lift a rock the size of a human head, and move some small objects.
Or he could spit out a little flame that was as thick as a finger and wet the clothes on his body.
