Taoist chanting

Chapter 115 The Tinkering is Prosperous (thanks to "Mr. Lywood" for his support)

Returning to the Taoist temple, we greeted the donkey carrying the young badger that was patrolling the mountain in the dark, and the three of them washed their hands and went back to their houses to rest.

At three o'clock in Maoshi, the temple master got up on time and adjusted his breath for more than two hours. He was in good spirits.

Dressed neatly, walked out of the backyard door, and saw the old cripple and the dark boy busy making face to face in front of the chopping board under the dim oil lamp in the kitchen, enjoying his rich breakfast fodder outside the kitchen like a donkey.

The young badger was happily nibbling on a fresh cotton fruit bought from the city yesterday afternoon.

The donkey wagged its tail, which was regarded as a greeting to the viewer who was watching it.

After morning class and breakfast, the three of them drank tea and chatted in the West Hall.

"I'll go to the city to formally order a job in the future. Although the host has allowed me to walk freely, I still need to run around a lot in the first few days. Please worry more about family matters.

The new courtyard at the foot of the mountain, the second senior brother went around whenever he had nothing to do, and there was also the matter of assessing and recruiting apprentices, trying to complete it in the next few days.

The burden on you, senior sister, is not light. Before the middle of next month, no matter whether it is to purchase the array layout or learn the array layout by yourself, you must have a preliminary result, and time waits for no one. "

"Don't worry, I will supervise the progress and workmanship of the new courtyard. When they are finished at the end of the month, I will start to build the bamboo building. It will be ready in about ten days. I will purchase materials and items in advance."

Once the second senior brother breaks through the realm and advances to the next level, fulfilling his wish for many years, he has inexhaustible energy in his body.

Yue Anyan put down the teacup, frowned slightly, and said, "Monastery Master, please help me to pay attention to the time when Senior Sister Yun returns to the city. I have studied for two days and encountered many problems. I want to ask her for advice on getting started with formations."

"Success, I will pay attention. Everything is difficult at the beginning, senior sister, you can go to the Daolu branch to read more books. Our Taoist temples have left too few basic books on formations."

"I'll wait for the officials sent by the households in the county seat to arrive. I'm done surveying the boundaries and I'll go to the city to read in the afternoon."

"There are still more than twenty days, so don't be too impatient."

Zhang Wenfeng gave a word of comfort, then looked at the second senior brother, and said, "Please help me figure out what position to hang the mirror today? When is the best time to start the fire and refine the medicine?"

The first time the medicine was refined, it was the hexagram made by the second senior brother.

The abolishment of the second batch of medicine refining was calculated by his half-baked warlock.

People who practice Taoism pay attention to lip service, so he thinks it is safer to ask the second senior brother to make a hexagram for three pennies.

Yue Anyan covered his mouth with his hands and laughed, obviously thinking of this.

The second senior brother got up to scoop up water to wash his hands, and asked strangely, "Why is junior sister laughing?"

"Nothing, just remembered something."

Yue Anyan glanced at the temple master who was drinking tea as if nothing had happened, forget it, don't talk about it, the temple master is sometimes narrow-minded.

It took some time, the second senior brother finished shaking the hexagram, and told the audience the result, saying: "You start the fire in the afternoon, and I have time to light the fire for you in the evening. Junior sister can go to her own business, don't be distracted."

After paying the Sanwen Guajin, we chatted about some trivial matters such as the apprentice's move-in needs custom-made clothes, shoes and socks.

After drinking the tea, the three of them dispersed.

Zhang Wenfeng walked into the East Hall Pharmacy carrying the medicinal material bag, and processed and ground the medicinal materials.

In his spare time, he used the grass to practice the green wood entanglement technique, and became familiar with the newly appeared "Intertwining Curse" in the sea of ​​consciousness, but he would not use it easily.

He already knew that it would take time to recover the supernatural powers recorded in the ancient scroll of Consciousness Sea "Tao Jing".

How long it will be is still to be verified after he uses it next time.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the alchemy grotto was cleaned up, and the temple master, who was ready to fill up the fresh spring water, started the fire on time, hung the mirror, inserted the sword, watched the fire in the cave, and passed the time by reading travel notes and miscellaneous books.

At night, Yue Anyan lit the fire for an hour, but was driven back to read by the second senior brother.

I don't know if it's true that the second senior brother's hexagram is effective, or because the master's cultivation base has been improved, and the Yuan Qi is enough for him to refine the medicine. The medicine was dispensed in the morning of the second day, and it went very smoothly.

Zhang Wenfeng distributed eight qian qian of medicinal powder to the two of them for emergency use.

Rest for most of the day.

After evening class, Zhang Wenfeng didn't disturb the two people who were busy with other things. He went down the mountain quietly, called on the donkey to walk along the field ridge path, and not long after, he came to the back mountain of Nitan Village, and asked the donkey to guard him under the hillock.

Standing in front of the ancient walnut tree on the hillside.

He took out the Shoumin bottle from the black bag on his waist, removed the yellow talisman, and erased the Yuan Qi restriction he had arranged.

Zhong Wenyong listened to the greeting, first cautiously poked a trace into the mouth of the bottle, and checked the environment. He now has only a remnant soul, and many places cannot appear rashly, otherwise it will be himself who suffers.

It can be seen that it is night now, and it emerged and floated in the air, turning into the figure of a middle-aged man.

Compared with last time, his figure was a little more solid, and the power of incense and fire was of great help to his remnant soul.

Wandering around the old tree, Zhong Wenyong stretched out his blurred fingers and held the black bottle in Zhang Wenfeng's hand. Wisps of dark yellow mist escaped from the mouth of the bottle. With Zhong Wenyong's fingers pinching and waving, the dark yellow incense slowly burned Slowly blending into the pitted ancient bark like a helmet shell, seeping into the trunk.

"Zhang Daoyou, you throw a piece of Yuan Qi out, and I will imprint the Yuan Qi mark on the walnut tree for you. I have reserved about a year of cultivation time. After it awakens, it will go to someone with a predestined relationship to ask for a seal. Don't interfere, success or failure sometimes depends on God's will, if it succeeds, it will respect you as master."

Zhang Wenfeng waved and threw a strand of cyan Yuan Qi, "Is it enough?"

"Enough."

Zhong Wenyong mixed Yuan Qi into the dark yellow incense, waved it into the tree trunk, and continued to pour incense and vow power into the jujube tree, saying in his mouth: "The thief who occupied my god statue learned a little magic from me. The method of transforming ancient trees was taken too hastily, many ancient trees were killed, and they didn't use their own incense to accumulate, so the sprites that opened up their spiritual wisdom were actually somewhat flawed.

This walnut tree, I re-enlighten it with techniques, should be able to make up for it. "

Zhang Wenfeng asked: "Before and after our Taoist temple, there are more than a dozen ancient trees over 500 years old. They have been edified by the incense of the Taoist temple for a long time. Can they be turned into sprites?"

"It's best not to enlighten. There are less than one in ten ancient trees that can withstand enlightenment. Besides, they have been used for many years in Taoist incense. I, the remnant soul of the former mountain god, dare not make a move, fearing that something will happen."

Hearing Zhong Wenyong's evasion, Zhang Wenfeng didn't force it, so he asked casually.

"Forget it, don't touch it."

"If Zhang Daoyou is interested, I can teach you the method of enlightening the incense of the divine way..."

"Thank you for your kindness. I have a Taoist inheritance, which is enough for my practice and study, and I dare not be distracted by it."

"That's right, learning too much is not a good thing."

Zhong Wenyong kept his hands on, stopped the topic, and concentrated on "enlightening" the ancient walnut tree and infusing it with incense.

After working for about a quarter of an hour, he stopped. It seemed that he had consumed a lot of energy. His figure was blurred and transparent than when he first saw him. He greeted Zhang Wenfeng, and Zhong Wenyong escaped into the bottle to recuperate.

Holding the black bottle, Zhang Wenfeng looked around for a moment at the ancient tree thicker than the water tank.

When the time comes to remove the ancient trees that have taken root in the rocks, it can't be too ostentatious, the difficulty is not small, then he shakes his head and laughs, it's still early, one year later, maybe he has other powerful magical powers to solve this problem?
I hope that the ancient walnut tree can be enlightened and turned into a sprite.

Zhong Wenyong in the bottle suddenly said: "Zhang Daoyou, is this walnut tree far from your residence?"

Zhang Wenfeng shook his head slightly: "It's not too far, about seven or eight miles."

"I suggest fellow Taoists not to go to war. It's best to let the walnut tree stay here, so as not to lose its vitality. After the elf's wisdom is opened, it can use the grass and trees to hide. Within ten miles, it is not a distance for it. It is easy to come and go. convenient."

Zhong Wenyong noticed that he hadn't left this place yet, so he guessed what Zhang Daoyou was thinking, and explained Jianyan.

Zhang Wenfeng pondered: "In the future, the aura will become more and more abundant. It will be a matter of time before the monks will emerge. If the ancient walnut tree becomes a spirit, the body will stay here, and I always feel a bit inappropriate."

"This worry is also normal. Didn't you adopt a demon badger? After next year, it will grow up. Digging the ground is a good hand, and it can come in handy, and it is also very concealed."

Zhong Wenyong continued to make suggestions.

He still needs to cultivate in the bottle for some time, and actively express his own value when he has the opportunity.

People have ulterior motives, and in order to reincarnate safely, he also took great pains.

"The Badger..."

Zhang Wenfeng was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the little guy who picked it up, ate half of the intoxicating fruit, and crawled up and down on the donkey's back every day to learn how to bray, has become a demon with his spiritual wisdom?

I'm afraid that the foodie donkey didn't notice the abnormality, or he had told him earlier.

Very good, the Taoist Temple has added a new general.

Tinglings prosper, good luck.
