Lord of Earth Fiend

Chapter 172 "Chaoyang True Fire Visualization Magic Lamp Method"

Nie Feng left the Taoist temple sullenly, and rode back to the bodyguard bureau. Sitting on the horse, he thought a lot: Although Wang Shi was provoked this time, Wang Shi didn't use any thunderous means, and he didn't even show up in person, but used the surrounding people. Some relationships are just insinuating.

Even so, Huang Zhongheng and his fellow veterans were immediately terrified, and hurriedly disregarded their relationship.

However, doing so is neither moral nor practical.

The bond between Zhenfeng Escort and Gu Leyou deepened, and they had high hopes for Duobaojiu, unwilling to give up.

As for Nie Feng himself, he was overwhelmed by Gu Leyou's ability and wanted to learn something from him.

This is a rare opportunity, once he misses it because of timidity, he can only be a mediocre martial artist in his life.

Through the previous conversation, Nie Feng was sure that Gu Leyou's nonchalant attitude was not faked. There might be elements of bragging in the words, but he didn't feel any panic.

Maybe, there really is a way to deal with it...

……

"Brother Guanzhu, do you have a way to deal with it?"

Liu Yuan asked.

Gu Leyou spread his hands, and said very bachelorly: "No way, wait for the scholar's decision."

Suddenly, if he felt something, he looked up and saw something flying towards him. To be honest, it was a flying crane made of paper.

Fluttering, but it was Xiao Bafei who came.

Gu Leyou hurriedly shouted: "Xiaoba, don't peck!"

Xiao Ba stood on the tree in the yard, staring at Fei He curiously.

After flying to Izumo Temple, the paper crane was obviously powerless, and was blown by the wind, and fell directly to the ground, losing its spirituality.

Gu Leyou stepped forward, picked it up, held it in his hand to look at it for a while, and suddenly said: "Liu Yuan, I want to go to the city."

Liu Yuan asked: "Is this paper crane a spell used by Mr. Chen?"

"Probably, the scholar has come up with a new gadget. It's really great. I have to go and have a look."

As Gu Leyou talked, he exhibited the newly learned "Jiamabu", and hurried down the mountain into the city, and came to the Jiang'an house.

Chen Jin was waiting for him: "Taoist priest, have you heard my message from Feihe?"

Gu Leyou replied: "I only saw Feihe, but didn't receive the letter. I guessed it was you, so I came here."

Chen Jin sighed: "It seems that I haven't mastered this spell yet."

Gu Leyou puffed up his eyes: "It's not a short distance from here to the Taoist temple. Your paper cranes can fly there, which is already very powerful. By the way, where did you learn this technique?"

"It is "Jiamabu", which was deduced from the painting of Jiama. After some consideration, "Zhihua" was added, and this became it. I thought about it. If "Jianhua" is added, the effect will be great. Definitely better."

"Is this all right?"

Gu Leyou didn't know what to say.

Chen Jin's talent and savvy can be called monstrous. He has bold ideas, draws inferences from one example, and can take shape in practice.

After thinking about it, many spells already have interlinked relationships, and they can be combined and superimposed, thereby multiplying their power.

This is easy to say, but difficult to do. It takes a lot of thought. If one is not good, it will lead to random thinking.

Anyway, Gu Leyou didn't dare to mess around.

Now that Chen Jinxin has realized the spell, he doesn't hide his secrets. He called Gu Leyou here to teach him.

Gu Leyou hurriedly came to study seriously. Someone taught it, explained it carefully, and realized it by yourself. It was a matter of two levels.

Originally, it was not easy to learn with his background, but because "Zhihua" was introduced early and immersed in it for a long time, it has certain advantages. After being carefully guided by Chen Jin, at least he can understand it. of.

This lecture took most of the day, and it didn't come to an end until dinner.

Gu Leyou stayed for dinner and stayed here tonight, not going back to the Taoist temple.

After eating, the two moved chairs to the river bank to have a rest and chat.

Gu Leyou sighed: "Scholar, with your aptitude, if you are accepted as a disciple by those Daoist sects, you will definitely have a great achievement."

Chen Jin asked: "Is there still a Dao sect in this world?"

"Why not? Like Luofu, Tianshan, Maoshan, etc., they are all great schools of Taoism. Although compared to before, they have declined, and the gates of the temples have been closed all year round, and no outsiders are seen, but their inheritance has a great way."

Gu Leyou said solemnly, with an unconcealable envy in his tone.

No matter Taoism or Buddhism, every monk, who would not want to learn the great way and righteousness, so as to have a long-term vision?
It's just that for hundreds of years, the way of immortals and Buddhas has been broken, the righteous law has withered, and the world has changed.

However, in many mountain and wild stories, stories about "seeking immortals" emerge in endlessly, and they all go to high mountains and great swamps to find immortality.

However, Gu Leyou knew that the so-called "immortal fate" is really illusory, or in other words, it depends on what kind of "immortal" and what kind of "fate".In truth, he was adopted by Taoist Izumo when he was young, which can be regarded as a "celestial fate".

It's just that I have studied hard for more than ten years, and what I have learned is "skills", not "laws", let alone "Tao".

"Tongyou", "Zhihua", and "Earth Walking" are all techniques, and they belong to the auxiliary category. The following "Wall Piercing Technique" and "Jiamabu" are all of this type.

In the same way, Chen Jin practiced and mastered the same, but the existence of the "Sanli Sutra" produced a fundamental difference.

The "Sanlijing" belongs to the level of "Tao", so temples can be built.

Chen Jin asked: "Aren't these figures from the Dao sect born?"

Gu Leyou replied: "There must be, but the number is very small, and it is not so easy to come across. In fact, the sect Nuo technique is very popular. Due to its power attenuation and various limitations, it is often inferior to martial arts, so monks have to learn martial arts. Body protection, used to kill the enemy, looks embarrassing."

"Hehe, regardless of techniques or martial arts, you learn them to strengthen your body against the enemy. Practicality comes first, and you don't need to care about the rest."

"That's true."

Gu Leyou smacked his lips: "Now it seems that no matter how good the martial arts are, no matter how good the Taoism is, they are still no match for thousands of troops."

Chen Jin: "..."

This makes sense, but there is no way to refute it.

Gu Leyou waved his hand: "Let's not talk about those frustrating ones... What's the name of your newly created spell? Talisman Paper? Paper Transformation? Or Illusion?"

Chen Jin said with a smile: "I originally called it "Fu Zhi Shu", but after hearing what you said, I think "Paper Hua Shu" is also good. Actually, it's just a name, it doesn't matter."

Gu Leyou nodded and said, "That's the reason."

Chen Jin coughed dryly: "There is another problem. I have used up all the materials for the talisman paper and talisman pen."

Like the Four Treasures of the Study, the talisman paper and talisman pen are also consumables, and they consume a lot of money during practice and experimentation.

Gu Leyou scratched his head: "I don't have many here, I have to buy a batch."

"Where can I buy it? Are there any shops in the market that sell it?"

"There are, but the quality is quite rough and sloppy. It is usually used to draw peace amulets and amulets to cope with the scene, but it can be used for spells, and the effect is much worse."

Chen Jin understands that, in fact, it is the same as writing, poor pen, ink and paper can be written, but the finished product is either ink bleeding, or stagnant pen, all kinds of things are not smooth.

So I asked, "Where can I buy it?"

Gu Leyou said: "Some big Taoist temples can make talisman paper and talisman pens, which is an industry. Just like I make wine and Lao Lai sells medicine."

"The price is not cheap."

"Well, the better the quality, the more expensive the price."

Chen Jin pondered. He knew that Taoist priests had no money left. To run Taoist temples and brew treasure wine requires a lot of investment. If the medicinal wine can be produced smoothly and sold, the blood can be recovered early and the money can be earned back.

But now there are problems again, causing the industry to go badly, making it stretched.

Chen Jin himself doesn't have much money.

Without a stable job, without a stable industry, it is tantamount to sitting on the mountain and eating nothing. You can't be a hero or a fairy.

Therefore, the real masters of Taoism will have the foundation of the Taoist temple; the heroes of the martial arts also have manors and fields;

Imperial examination fame itself represents a stable identity industry.

Otherwise, why do so many scholars study hard all their lives?
Gu Leyou rubbed his chin: "I know a place that might sell cheap talisman paper."

"where?"

"Ghost city."

Chen Jin knew that the ghost market was probably an underground market or something. There were a lot of strange things for sale.Of course, most of the goods come from wrong sources, and it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity from the fake.

Gu Leyou explained: "The new emperor came to power and suppressed monks and martial arts people wantonly, which made the ghost market more lively, and there are many places. I went to the ghost market in Jiangzhou a while ago, and it was considered open. vision."

Chen Jin was immediately interested: "If you know the place, why don't we go and see it tonight?"

"Okay, today is exactly the fifteenth day, and it's the day when the market opens."

After telling Xiaoqian a few words, Chen Jin and Gu Leyou walked together.

On the way, Chen Jin learned more about the ghost market.

One: The ghost market is open, the location is not inside the city, but outside the city, and it will change from time to time, not fixed.But for those who have been there, it is not difficult to find.

Second: The ghost market is held on the first and fifteenth day of every month, that is to say, it is held twice a month.But there are also some scattered hawking at ordinary times, which cannot be called a "bazaar".

Third: The order of the ghost market is maintained by a Taoist temple called "Chaoyang Temple".

In Jiangzhou, Chaoyang Temple is the leading Dao Temple, and it can also be said to be a great practice school.

Their inheritance method is called "Chaoyang True Fire Visualization Magic Lamp Method", which is at the top of the visualization method and has a prominent reputation.

But this is the first time Chen Jin has heard of Chaoyang Temple. He is a practitioner, but not a practitioner in the conventional sense. After moving to Jiangzhou, Gou spent much more time practicing at home than going out.

If a person does not go out and is not frequently active in the circle, he will not understand the situation in the circle.

Such as Liujian Villa, such as Chaoyang Temple.

This can't be called "ignorance", it means that we are in a different position and have no relevant needs.

Gu Leyou is different. He has been in Jiangzhou much shorter than Chen Jin, but he is much more active. He has a lot of experience in the world: "When the new Taoist temple was established, I went to Chaoyang Temple to pay respects to the wharf and gave gifts. But they didn't send anyone to attend. It's normal, people speak lightly and don't attract people's attention."

Chen Jin said: "I don't know these things."

"You don't like socializing at all. When you were in Gaozhou, you ignored the local practice sects."

In fact, there are many sects in Lingnan. Although they are not considered big schools, the sparrows are small and have all the internal organs.

At that time, the only place that had a lot of contact with Chen Jin was Li Village.

Chen Jin said: "I just don't think there is anything to deal with."

"Well, sometimes it's really boring, either complimenting each other, or calculating, making people uncomfortable..."

While talking, the two looked for a suitable place to cross the wall.

Although the Jiangzhou City Wall is tall, it is nothing to them.

When we arrived at the outskirts of the city, there was silence, only some insects chirping.The moonlight is good tonight, a round of bright moon shines on people, shedding cool light.

The spring is cold and the wind is cold.

Gu Leyou talked to Chen Jin about some rules about the ghost market, such as no open bargaining, no inquiring about the source of goods, and after the transaction is completed, if you find out that you are cheated, you can only suffer dumb losses, etc.

"Chaoyang Temple is a big faction, and the disciples in the faction are inevitably arrogant and domineering, but as long as we don't violate the order of the market, we won't provoke them."

He said this, implying a reminder.

If Wang's and Chaoyang Temple are compared together, Gu Leyou is even more afraid of Chaoyang Temple.

The great schools of practice and the famous secular schools belong to different categories.

Chen Jin smiled: "I'm not someone who likes to cause trouble, I know how to measure it."

Gu Leyou led the way, followed by Chen Jin. After walking for about two quarters of an hour, they came to the outside of a valley.

Seeing a big red lantern hanging at the entrance of the valley, Gu Leyou said, "It's here."

When they went out of the city, they wore bamboo hats, which covered most of their faces, and they couldn't see their faces clearly unless they were opened to look at them.

Stepping forward, he saw a young Taoist sitting there, and in front of him was an ancient bronze lamp with a strange shape.

A lamp is like a bean, but it has an unusual bright color, which seems to be able to illuminate people's hearts.

Chen Jin couldn't help taking a second look, he saw that this Taoist was a disciple of Chaoyang Temple, and the copper lamp in front of him was also called the "magic lamp": visualize the sun, light the lamp with the fire of the Golden Crow, and when you have completed your cultivation, It can be transformed into real fire, which can burn all things, and it is extremely powerful.

Speaking of which, although he has experienced a lot along the way, Chen Jin has never tried a real fighting method.

Thinking of it this way, my heart is a little eager to try.

Ho!
The copper lamp seemed to be aware of it, and the flame suddenly became brighter.

The young Taoist in Taoist robe raised his head, with a horse face and long narrow eyes, staring at Chen Jin fiercely.

The momentary urge to move just now was actually not Chen Jin's original intention, but was provoked and drawn by some kind of miraculous power. Using his mind, he quickly suppressed the change and regained his calm.

Then the light of the copper lamp also returned to its original state.

Seeing this, Gu Leyou secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The young Taoist priest lowered his eyes: "The rules of the ghost market, pay money to enter, no noise, no trouble, otherwise you will bear the consequences."

"clear."

Gu Leyou responded, took out two ingots of silver and carefully placed them in a pot beside the Taoist priest, and then walked in with Chen Jin.

　Thank you book friends for the rewards of the five major roles in "Into the King's Heart Month by Month". It's really a surprise, thank you very much!
