Chapter 7

Miao Zhu dared not neglect Chen Yuan.

After taking the time to wait for the number of believers in the temple to decrease, I specially found a room in the backyard for Chen Yuan to stay in the temple.

Then he fetched a basin of clean water for Chen Yuan, and brought a towel for Chen Yuan to wash.

Chen Yuan didn't know if he didn't look at it. As soon as he saw his image at this time through the reflection on the water surface in the washbasin, his expression changed, and he was taken aback.

I saw myself at this time, a little unkempt.

The beard, which was not there before, has grown to chest length, eight or nine inches long.

Because it has not been repaired, it is very fluffy.

In addition, his hair, which was originally well-groomed, had grown a lot longer, with the tips of the hair hanging over his shoulders.

It's no wonder that when he first entered the temple, he was regarded as a lunatic by the believers who offered incense in the temple.

"It seems that I have slept for three years. Although it feels like a flick of a finger, my body hair and beard have not stopped growing."

Chen Yuan sighed.

Then he asked Miao Zhu for a razor, shaved off his fluffy beard, and tidied his long hair again. A handsome young man appeared in the reflection of the basin again.

And three years have passed, because he embarked on the road of cultivation, at this time, his facial features have a more aura.

With this aura, he, who could only be regarded as handsome in the beginning, has developed into a handsome man.

At this time, Miao Zhuchang Kongzi, holding a neatly folded dark blue Taoist robe, came in from the outside.

"Fellow Taoist, since you claim to be an apprentice of an immortal, you can be regarded as entering the door of the Taoist sect. Your clothes are already very worn out. There is a spare Taoist robe in the temple. I don't know if it fits or not. You can just change it into it." .”

Looking at the handsome young man who appeared in front of him after shaving off his beard and freshening up his grooming, he couldn't help but his eyes brightened.

He originally told Chen Yuan that he was a disciple of Lu Xiangong, so he was somewhat skeptical.

But after seeing Chen Yuan's real appearance, he has probably believed it.

Through later contact, he found that Chen Yuan's behavior was no different from ordinary people.

Seeing Chen Yuan's original appearance at this time, Chang Kongzi felt that Chen Yuan was not a crazy person.

Chen Yuan heard the words and glanced at the Taoist robes neatly folded in Lao Miaozhu's hands. He saw that the colors were bright and not worn at all. It was obviously a brand new Taoist robe that had never been worn by anyone.

He was also short of a piece of clothing at this time, so he immediately took the Taoist robe from Chang Kongzi's hand, and said happily:

"So, thank you Miaozhu."

When arranging a room for him just now, Miao Zhu had informed him of his name, and he knew that Miao Zhu's original name was Chang Kongzi.

And since he came to the door, this long time has arranged the room, brought him clean water and towels for washing, and now sent him a brand new Taoist robe. He has taken good care of him.

Miao Zhuchang Kongzi smiled and said: "If Taoist friends are really disciples of immortals, being able to come to this temple will really make this temple flourish."

There are immortal gods in this world, and there are immortal gods enshrined in every temple.

But Naihe himself, the temple he presides over is the temple of an immortal.

Immortals are not restricted by gods like gods, but are restricted by the emperor's amulet. They stay in the temple all the time, without restraint, and no one knows where the immortals are.

In addition, in Lugong Temple, the Lu Xiangong enshrined is a true immortal who has attained the Tao and has many temples.

This Lu Gong Temple is just one of the many temples dedicated to Lu Xiangong.

Even among the immortals, Lu Xiangong is considered to have a great background.

Without fairy fate, it is difficult to see.

Although he has served as a temple congratulator for more than ten years in this Lv Gong Temple.

But there is no fate to see the real fairy.

Hearing Miao Zhu Chang Kongzi's words, Chen Yuan was startled. It seems that the identity of this immortal disciple is extraordinary, and even Miao Miao Zhu uttered brilliant words.

wrong.

Then Chen Yuan realized that it was understandable for others to say this.

But this old Taoist priest named Changkongzi is a priest in the master's temple. Could it be that he has never seen the master before!

Chen Yuan asked curiously: "What do you mean by Miao Zhu? As a Miao Zhu of Lu Gong Temple, you have never met my master?"

Miao Zhuchang Kongzi smiled wryly and said: "Ordinary people have no destiny of immortality, so how can they see real immortals."

Then Miao Zhuchang Kongzi asked Chen Yuan: "Have you ever heard a sentence, Fellow Daoist?"

Chen Yuan wondered, "What are you talking about?"

Chang Kongzi looked at Chen Yuan and said, "Gods are easy to see, but immortals are hard to find."

Chang Kongzi paused for a moment and said again: "If there is no immortal fate, even the immortals will not know it in person, and they can only miss it in vain."

Chang Kongzi's words made Chen Yuan immediately think of three years ago, in that official post.

Qin Jiangyue, who met Master Lu Yan at the same time, and among the passers-by who were rescued, they also saw Master Lu Yan.

But they only consider Lu Yan as their master, an ordinary expert.

Only his inadvertent immortal title aroused the interest of his master, Lu Yan, and he brought him by his side, not to mention a romantic relationship that lasted for three years, and he was accepted as a disciple of the immortal.

This is probably what Miao Zhu said if there is no immortal fate, even if the immortal does not know it in person, he can only miss it in vain.

Chang Kongzi didn't know what was going on in Chen Yuan's mind, so he glanced at Chen Yuan, and a trace of envy flashed in his eyes:
"If fellow daoists say that they are disciples of immortals, they are not deceiving us. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. With such opportunities, fellow daoists will achieve limitless achievements in the future."

But after saying these words, Miao Zhuchang Kongzi suddenly came to his senses.

Immortals are hard to find, but immortal disciples are right in front of us!

Serve this immortal disciple well, and when the other party achieves something in the future, no matter what, there will be a trace of incense, right?

Chang Kongzi glanced at the sky, the sun was already setting, the setting sun was like blood, and the sky was getting darker.

Chang Kongzi said: "There is no one else in the temple except you and me. The old Taoist is going to prepare the supper, and the supper will be delivered later. Fellow Taoists are exhausted all the way, so let's rest first. The old Taoist lives in the front yard and has something to do at night. Just say hello."

After speaking, Chang Kongzi took his leave and left, leaving only Chen Yuan in the backyard.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Chen Yuan went back to Miao Zhu's room to rest.

Not long after, after refusing the supper offered by Miao Zhuchang Kongzi, he lay on the bed ready to sleep.

But he couldn't fall asleep at all. He had slept for three years before, and now he didn't feel sleepy at all.

What Miao Zhu said about the exhaustion of boats and cars is even more nonsense.

He was always taken by his master Lu Yan before, and he was flying in the sea of ​​clouds, so he didn't feel tired at all, okay?
"Since you can't sleep, let's practice."

Chen Yuan decided.

He got up and put on the temple Zhuchang Kongzi, the brand new dark blue Taoist robe just brought to him, and came to the yard and sat down directly on the ground.

Although he slept for three years and achieved a food-breathing cultivation level, he has never practiced seriously once.

This is his first practice.

At this time, it was the middle of the cold winter night, and the night wind was bitter.

I don't know if it's because he has cultivated the state of eating qi and is no longer afraid of cold and heat, or because he has made up his mind and prepared to practice, so he doesn't feel cold for a while.

There are two parts to his practice formula.

One is "Taiyi Jinhua Tenet" handed down by his master Lu Yan.

One is the "Fetal Breath Jue" passed down by Mr. Huolong.

These two formulas have been deeply engraved in Chen Yuan's mind.

He has been able to memorize the contents of it backwards, and has some superficial understanding of his own.

Master Lu Yan's "Taiyi Jinhua Tenet" is mainly a formula explaining the way of inner alchemy cultivation.

It involves breath adjustment, foundation building, true spirit, true nature, and even the practice of primordial spirit.

It can be said to be a fundamental method that leads directly to the immortal way.

In contrast, "Fetal Breath Jue" is just a practice method of refining qi, storing essence, and nourishing the mind.

Compared with "Taiyi Jinhua Purpose", the level is much lower.

However, because of this, "Fetal Breath Jue" is purer than "Taiyi Jinhua Tenet" in terms of refining qi, storing essence, and nourishing the mind.

"Since Mr. Huolong didn't object to my practice of "Fetal Breath Jue", then I will practice "Fetal Breath Jue" first."

Chen Yuan secretly said in his heart.

With his face downcast, he began to run the "Fetal Breath Jue" in his body.

Although it is the first time to practice, it seems that he has practiced "Fetal Breath Jue" thousands of times.

Very familiar with the road, it is on the right track.

Using the Qi circulation method recorded in "Fetal Breath Jue", the number of breaths was gradually reduced, and his breathing gradually began to become weak, fine, even and long-lasting.

Then remove the "exhale" of breathing, and only keep the "inhale" air, store the inhaled air in the body, keep it under the navel, and keep one's breath closed.

Finally, remove the "inhalation" of breathing, no mouth and nose breathing, in a haggard body and all thoughts are silent, the breath in the body naturally grows and sprouts with the "breathing" in the navel,
Before he knew it, Chen Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged in the backyard of the temple, realized his fetal breath.

Then the porch of the whole body is opened, and the body is like a baby in the mother's womb, not breathing through the mouth and nose, but breathing through the abdomen.

In an instant, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was sucked into Chen Yuan's body as if being sucked by Chen Yuan's whale.

His body is like a long-lasting sandstone, frantically absorbing all the spiritual energy that has been sucked into his body.

At first, the level was normal, but later, because he absorbed more and more spiritual energy, a gust of wind even blew up in the backyard, rolling up the weeds and fallen leaves in the backyard, and flying around Chen Yuan.

However, Chen Yuan stood still in the center of the strong wind.

Zhu Chang Kongzi, who lives in the front hall and prevents thieves from entering Lugong Temple at night to steal, heard the movement in the backyard, thought something happened, and hurriedly ran over from the front yard stepping on his heels and wearing a Taoist robe.

He happened to see the backyard, and at the scene that was happening at this moment, his hands that were originally tied with the sash of the Taoist robe couldn't help but hang down, and he froze in place for a while.

"This this……"

Chang Kongzi's beard trembled slightly, and his lips trembled slightly.

"It seems that this fellow Taoist did not deceive the old Taoist, he is really a disciple of the immortal."

After a long time, Chang Kongzi who came back to his senses let out a long sigh.

Ordinary practitioners can't make such a huge movement.

Guessing that the immortal disciple was cultivating, Chang Kongzi didn't know if such a big movement would attract others to disturb him, so he decided to stand by and protect Chen Yuan.

Such a big commotion lasted for a full hour before finally stopping.

The strong wind dissipated, and the weeds and leaves flying in the air also fell to the ground.

After Chen Yuan practiced the "Fetal Breath Jue" once, he felt refreshed all over his body, as if he had a full sleep and woke up feeling refreshed.

He opened his eyes, only to find Miao Zhu Zhang Kongzi wearing a lotus crown on his head, who did not know when he came, and was guarding the side.

Looking at the messy backyard, he guessed that it was caused by his own practice.

Chen Yuan apologized, "I'm sorry, Changkong Zimiaozhu, for making your backyard dirty."

Unexpectedly, Chang Kongzi shook his head again and again. He looked at Chen Yuan in front of him with golden eyes like looking at a big treasure.

With a courteous look, he said: "It's okay, the yard is dirty, the old man just needs to clean it up tomorrow morning."

The reason why his expression became so attentive was because he had gained huge benefits from guarding Chen Yuan here for an hour.

Some of the Qingling Qi absorbed by Chen Yuan when he was cultivating overflowed, and a very small part was absorbed and contaminated by Chang Kongzi's body.

Let his originally old body, like taking a panacea, suddenly look younger by several years.

The originally stiff arms, legs and feet have become much more flexible. Not to mention, guarding Chen Yuan for an hour, not only did not feel sleepy at all, but was a little energetic.

In addition, in the middle of the winter night, after staying outside for an hour, he felt no other discomfort in his body except that his hands and feet were freezing cold.

Chang Kongzi, who observed carefully, even discovered that it was the cold winter season, and the dead weeds in the backyard had unknowingly sprouted green shoots.

It brought a touch of spring to the entire Lugong Temple, and those who didn't know thought it was spring.

But now it is the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month.
