Taoist Myth: I am the last true immortal in the world

Chapter 54
Lock the door and leave the dormitory.

Originally, Chen Yun wanted to go back and continue to meditate on "Song of the Right Way".

Suddenly he thought that he had not reminisced with Li Si and Zhang Qian for a long time.

After thinking for a moment, he walked towards the medicine garden.

As soon as he walked in, Chen Yun saw Li Si and a strange junior brother sorting out the medicinal materials.

It seems that this strange junior brother Wang Laozhi recently found again.

Chen Yun crossed the threshold and took the initiative to say hello: "Senior Brother Li."

Li Si, who was busy, heard the sound and hurriedly raised his head, and immediately showed a slightly fawning smile, "Oh, Senior Brother Chen, why are you here?"

As he said that, he pulled over the unfamiliar junior brother and said, "Junior Brother Ji, please call Senior Brother Chen."

Junior Brother Ji looked honest and honest, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Chen."

"Junior Brother Ji, hello."

Chen Yun was not arrogant because he became a direct disciple. He still smiled as before and said: "Senior Brother Li, you are close..."

Unexpectedly, Li Si quickly waved his hand and said: "No, Senior Brother Chen, please don't call me 'Senior Brother'. Now that you are the direct successor, according to the rules, I should call you Senior Brother."

When he said this, Li Si's tone was filled with sincerity and fear.

Originally, Chen Yun wanted to reminisce about old times with Li Si, but he never thought that the other party's attitude would change drastically, giving him the feeling that Lu Xun was seeing Runtu again after so many years.

Lu Xun called "Brother Runtu", but Runtu replied "Master".

Yes, that's what it feels like.

Chen Yun was in a daze for a while. Although the person in front of him was still Li Si, it was no longer the Senior Brother Li in his memory.

For a moment, the words Chen Yun originally wanted to say seemed to be blocked by something. They were just whirling in his mind, but he could never say them out.

Helpless, Chen Yun had no choice but to casually chat with Li Si for a few words before leaving.

Later, he went to visit Zhang Qian again.

Dharma Hall.

Zhang Qianzheng devoted himself to teaching the new junior disciples, "...fa sword, also known as treasure sword, divine sword, divine edge, seven-star sword, demon-slaying sword, etc. For example, this seven-star sword is about two feet long, made of iron and wood. Kind of... As for the talisman painted on the body of the mahogany sword, it is mostly used to exorcise demons and is very powerful. Junior Brother Yao, have you ever memorized it?"

The chubby Junior Brother Yao nodded vigorously, "Yes!"

Chen Yun stood at the door without disturbing him. He didn't know much about magic weapons. During the apprenticeship ceremony, Zhong Liquan presented a hundred-year-old lightning strike jujube sword, so he paid a little more attention.

The century-old lightning strike jujube sword is officially called the "Red Gold Demon-Slaying Sword".

It is said that before Zhongliquan attained enlightenment, he used this sword to kill a dragon. It was indeed very powerful.

It's a pity that Chen Yun has not yet cultivated his true energy and cannot exert the true power of this magical sword.

Just as I was thinking about it, Zhang Qian's voice came to my ears, "Junior brother Chen...brother."

Junior Brother Yao's voice also sounded, "I've met Senior Brother Chen."

"Senior Brother Zhang, Junior Brother Yao." Chen Yun nodded slightly in response to the two of them.

Zhang Qian did not "correct" Chen Yun's "grammatical errors" like Li Si did.

He enthusiastically moved a bench to the door, "Senior Brother Chen, I only see you during meal time. Li Si and I often talk about you."

As he said that, he pointed to the stool, "Let's sit and chat for a while."

Having said that, Zhang Qian did not sit down first.

Chen Yun felt the change in the other party, but not as strongly as Li Si. Perhaps Zhang Qian was better at hiding his emotions.

He sat down calmly and said with a smile: "I also miss Senior Brother Zhang very much."

Seeing him sit down, Zhang Qian seemed to be casual, but in fact he sat down half ass tightly.

The two sat there chatting endlessly.

Mostly they talked about the past.

Things like going down a mountain to drive out ghosts.

Or maybe everyone goes to the mountainside to play in their free time on weekdays.

During the chat, Chen Yun keenly discovered that although Zhang Qian was not as fawning and fearful as Li Si, his attitude became much more respectful.

This made Chen Yun full of confusion.

Mingming Chuandao Temple teaches the idea of ​​"everyone is equal".

Why is there still such a terrifying barrier between people?

He can understand the secular world. Regardless of modern society or the current world, there are always classes in society, and it is normal to have barriers.

But Taoism believes that everyone is equal, so why does it still become like this?
Chatted for a long time.

Chen Yun looked at the time and stood up and said, "Senior Brother Zhang, I'm leaving first."

Zhang Gan quickly stood up and said, "Okay, Senior Brother Chen, you come here often. I will go down the mountain next month. Then we will go to Xigou City for a meal?"

Hearing this, Chen Yun couldn't help but be startled and looked over in surprise, "Are you going down the mountain next month?"

Mentioning this matter, Zhang Qian showed a wry smile and sighed: "I have been here at the Taoist Temple for nearly five years, and it's almost time to go down the mountain. After all, we are not as talented as you, Senior Brother Chen. Sooner or later we will return to the secular world." As he said, He forced a smile and said: "Maybe going down the mountain is not necessarily a bad thing. Find a wife, give birth to a big fat boy, and live a happy life, but that's it."

Chen Yun knew that Zhang Qian aspired to immortality, but Zhongli Quan didn't nod his head, and no one could officially get started.

He didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only say: "After coming down the mountain, remember that the wild geese fly often and don't forget your brother."

"Good." Zhang Qian said seriously: "I will hold a banquet in Xigou City on the [-]th of next month. You must come."

Chen Yun solemnly said: "I will definitely go there then."

Leave the Artifact Hall.

Chen Yun's heart felt heavy.He didn't expect that Zhang Qian, his good friend who he spent time with before, was about to go down the mountain.

"Although Zhang Qian's attitude towards me has changed, after all, we are friends and he is about to go down the mountain. Should I do something?"

Chen Yun thought as he walked towards the inner courtyard.

When he reached the Talisman Making Hall, he suddenly stopped.

Correct!
I can make some magical talismans for Zhang Qian and Li Si!

Although Chen Yun is not good at expressing his inner feelings, he is very loyal.

Instead of giving gold and silver jewelry, it is better to give some life-saving talismans.

It's just that although I can draw talismans, I don't know how to give the talismans magical functions.

"I won't be fine. Doesn't Cai Rujin know what to do?"

Chen Yun looked at Cai Rujin, who was teaching a strange junior brother how to draw talismans inside, and walked slowly towards the house.

……

Talisman Making Hall.

After entering, Chen Yun took the initiative to say hello and said: "Master Nephew Cai, are you busy?"

Cai Rujin was different from Li Si and Zhang Qian. He had officially become a master. Chen Yun could not mess up the seniority, so he had to call him his nephew.

Cai Rujin had discovered him a long time ago. He had deliberately taught the new apprentices how to draw talismans without seeing him. The main reason was that not long ago, he secretly helped Chen Yun wear shoes in the name of his personal disciple. Now he has become a master uncle. He is really a bit I can't keep my face down.

But Chen Yun came to the door, so Cai Rujin naturally had to respond.

He raised his head, stood up straight and saluted, "I've met Master Chen. I'm really busy right now. I have to teach Junior Brother Ren how to draw talismans."

Junior Brother Ren also bowed and saluted, "I've met Senior Brother Chen."

Chen Yun responded to the other party in the same way, then looked at Cai Rujin and said, "I have something to ask for advice. I wonder if you could take some time out of your busy schedule to chat with me for a while?"

Cai Rujin said: "Okay."

After saying that, he asked Junior Brother Ren to continue reading, while he stretched out his hand and went outside the house with Chen Yun.

outside.

Cai Rujin asked: "Uncle Chen, what do you want to do?"

Chen Yun explained the cause and effect, "Zhang Qian will be going down the mountain next month. I became friends with him and wanted to make a few talismans for him before he left. However, I didn't know how to make talismans, so I wanted to make some talismans for him. You ask for advice.”

Hearing this, Cai Rujin said casually: "What kind of talisman do you want? I will help make it later."

Chen Yun shook his head and said, "I want to make it for Zhang Qian myself."

Cai Rujin was surprised and said: "Whoever makes the talismans is not making them. Why must my uncle do it himself?"

Chen Yun smiled slightly, "It's a farewell gift for a friend, but it's always made with sincerity."

Cai Rujin thought so, but then he frowned and said, "Please forgive me for saying more. My uncle Guanshi has no real energy, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to make a talisman."

Chen Yun humbly asked for advice: "What is the meaning of this statement?"

Cai Rujin explained: "You don't know something. After this talisman is painted, it needs to be injected with true energy to be effective. Otherwise, you can only make the talisman effective by dripping blood essence when using it. However, who is willing to use the treasure of human essence and blood?" On top of the talisman? Moreover, the more powerful the talisman, the more 'Qi' is required. Take the Zhong Kui Talisman as an example. Even if ordinary people drain the essence and blood, they may not be able to summon the Zhong Kui Holy Elephant to destroy evil. You haven't refined it yet. It’s very difficult to make talismans out of true Qi.”

Oh, it turns out that true Qi is to be injected into it.

Chen Yun finally understood how the talisman would take effect after it was painted.

He thought for a while and asked: "How much 'Qi' will it cost to make a meditation talisman?"

"The Meditation Talisman is an entry-level talisman, and it does not consume much true energy." Cai Rujin recalled carefully for a moment, "I can't describe the specific amount, but it is probably equivalent to a ninth-grade mage using up all his true energy."

Having heard Wang Laozhi talk about realm before, Chen Yun roughly understood what a ninth-grade mage meant.

Because some Taoist priests entered the world and became officials in the court, the emperor would grant officials according to the depth of their magic power.

Generally speaking, low-level mages are officials of the seventh and sixth grades, intermediate mages are of the fifth and fourth grades, high-grade mages are of the third grade, high-level mages are of the second grade, and the leader has a first-grade seal.

Of course, this refers to the stage of refining Qi, or a Taoist priest with the same strength.

The ninth grade is not among them.

It was obvious that he had not even reached the level of a low-level mage.

Chen Yun estimated that the ninth-grade mage should have just refined his true energy not long ago.

He probably had some idea in his mind, so he asked again: "What about the disaster-suppressing and evil-repelling talisman, the all-illness rejuvenating talisman, and the peace and disaster-repelling talisman?"

Cai Rujin said: "A ninth-level mage can make one in a day for both the disaster-suppressing and evil-repelling talisman and the peace-disaster-repelling talisman. If it's the rejuvenation talisman for all diseases... I'm afraid you need to be at the eighth-level mage level."

Chen Yun asked carefully: "Approximately how much true energy can be cultivated to count as a ninth-grade mage or an eighth-grade mage?"

Cai Rujin smiled and said: "For an ordinary person, it takes three months to refine the Qi to reach the ninth level mage, and about half a year to reach the eighth level mage. The master's talent is excellent. If the refining of Qi goes smoothly, maybe he can reach the ninth level in more than a month." Mage, from [-] to [-] months to [-]th grade mage, I can’t say the details, but if you want to know if you have reached this level, you can tell at a glance using the Qi Observation Technique.”

This is the second time Chen Yun heard about Qi Guanqi.

The last time Wang Laozhi talked about it was when he bought himself.

He blinked and said, "How to practice Qi Observation?"

"The method is very simple, but you still need to cultivate your true energy." Cai Rujin couldn't help but said: "Uncle Master, why don't you come to me after you have cultivated your true energy, and then I will give you the secret of the Qi Observation Technique?"

It is true that he has not yet cultivated his true energy, so everything is just talk.

Chen Yun nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, Master Nephew Cai, for today."

Cai Rujin said: "It doesn't matter, you are my uncle. Rujin should know that he will say everything he wants and say everything he says."

After chatting for a while, Chen Yun said goodbye to Cai Rujin.

On the way back to the inner courtyard, Chen Yun secretly made up his mind to learn the method of refining qi from the "Song of the Righteous Way" as soon as possible, and then upgrade his cultivation to the eighth-level mage before Zhang Qian came down the mountain, so as to serve him. Make a few good charms.
