The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

That afternoon, Xujiayuan Guangge was closed for the rare occasion, which also caused a lot of discussion among the monks passing by the door.

"Hey, what do you think is going on? In the past, I remember that the Xu family basically never closed. Just a while ago, when a member of the Xu family in the pavilion got married, they were still open for business!" A monk asked doubtfully. .

"You ask me, who should I ask? I was supposed to be in line to buy the Tiangang Puppet Talisman this afternoon, but who knew it was closed, and I don't know if I need to queue up again? If my qualifications are invalidated, it will be all over. In order to buy this talisman , I’ve been waiting in line for more than half a year!”

Another monk said worriedly. The Xu family's spiritual talisman, no, it should be said to be the spiritual talisman drawn by Xu Zhiyu. As long as the monks have used it, they will become their loyal fans. No other, it is so useful!

Compared with other spiritual talismans of the same grade, it is much more powerful and the price is about the same. Through word of mouth, more and more monks know about Xujiayuan Guangge. In addition, the production capacity is limited, so the only way is to limit purchases and queue up. way to sell.

If you are lucky, you will have to wait three to five days to get the magic talisman. But if you are not lucky, and the magic talisman is very popular, it is possible to wait for half a year or even a year. Unfortunately, the person who just spoke This guy encountered this situation, so he was a little anxious.

"Probably not. My fellow Taoist is in the same situation as you. Originally it was my turn to buy the talisman this afternoon, but I came a little earlier and waited in Yuanguang Pavilion in the morning. Until three quarters noon. Around here, after Taoist monk Xu Zhisong of the Xu family came back from his trip, Taoist monk Xu Zhikai suddenly announced that the shop was going to be closed." At this time, another monk who shared the same problem with him spoke up.

"Oh? Then, fellow Taoist, didn't you ask why the Xu family was closed? And there must be an explanation for our purchase of spiritual talismans!" Hearing that someone knew the inside story, the monk who was a little annoyed before quickly turned around and asked.

"Closing is an internal matter of the family. It's really hard for me to pry. After all, it's unreasonable. However, I noticed that every Xu family monk has some sadness on his face and a very serious expression. I guess it may be something happened to their family. thing.

As for the purchase of talismans, of course I also inquired about it. According to Taoist Master Xu Zhikai, our ranking will not be cancelled, but will be postponed to tomorrow morning. As an apology, we are also prepared to give us a designated type of Tiangang Puppet Talisman. Chance. "

This person was very patient. Although he was a stranger, he still answered his questions seriously.

"Thanks for clarifying the confusion, fellow Taoist, but what I heard from fellow Taoist's words is that the talisman waiting in line to buy is also the Tiangang Puppet Talisman?"

The previous monk seemed to have found a confidant and continued to ask with interest. The monk standing between the two of them silently took a step back upon seeing this so that the two could communicate better.

Here I have to mention a more interesting phenomenon! That is the monk who bought the Tiangang Puppet Talisman from Guangge. In addition to being attracted by the powerful power of this kind of spiritual talisman, he also has a hobby of collecting, just like collecting stamps, and longs to collect a complete set of Tiangang Puppet Talisman.

"Yes, it seems fellow Taoist is the same? To be honest, I have actually purchased and used a lot of second-level spiritual talismans before, and there are also quite a few high-grade second-level ones. I have never encountered anyone who can compete with the foundation-building perfection monks. It can last for a quarter of an hour at the same time. When I first heard about the power of this talisman, I was skeptical. The first Tiangang Puppet Talisman was also given to me by my junior brother. Guangge was lied to!

But I didn't expect that a month after that, I received an order from my master to go to the Hengduan Mountains to look for my junior brothers and sisters who had gone into the mountains to collect medicine and had been missing for many days. I accidentally encountered a second-level high-grade thunder lion beast. "

Talking about the same topic of interest to him, the man talked endlessly, but was quickly interrupted by the monk who had just made room for them.

"Thunder Lion? Fellow Taoist, are you sure it is the Thunder Lion? That is a terrifying monster that is rumored to be able to defeat three monks of the same level one at a time! I heard that even monks who have completed their foundation building and are ready to break through the Zi Mansion will not be able to defeat it if they encounter it. I have a terrible headache.”

It seems that although he is not too interested in the Tiangang Puppet Talisman, he still knows a lot about the demons living in the Hengduan Mountains.

"Yes, it's just that kind of thunder lion! Because I had to cover the retreat of my junior brothers and sisters, I had already fought with several second-level high-grade monsters. The mana in my Dantian was almost exhausted, and the treasures given by the sect were also used up. Who could have imagined it? Encountered the thunder lion blocking the road again, all the junior brothers and sisters and I felt desperate. At the critical moment, I didn't know why I suddenly thought of the magic talisman given to me by my junior brother. I held the dead horse as a live horse doctor. Thoughts inspired it.

I didn't have high expectations at first, but I didn't expect that there was a flash of golden light, and a golden-armored puppet three feet tall and holding a giant ax stood between us and the Thunder Lion. It first looked at me very intelligently. , then nodded slightly, and then roared loudly and rushed towards Thunder Lion, and the two sides quickly fought.

To be honest, until then, I still didn’t believe that this talisman was that powerful. I was just about to take advantage of the transformed puppet to block the Thunder Beast. My junior brothers and sisters and I retreated first. However, when I looked back at the battlefield, I found that the situation was not what I imagined. It's not that one-sided, but the two sides are attacking and defending each other, and they are evenly matched for a while.

Seeing this, I changed my mind and joined the battle group with my junior brothers who were only slightly injured, and finally killed the Thunder Lion. Afterwards, we smeared some of the Thunder Lion's essence and blood on our bodies. With great fame, he finally escaped from the Hengduan Mountains without any danger.

Since then, I have been keenly interested in the various types of Tiangang Puppet Talismans launched by Yuanguang Pavilion. It happened that because I completed the task well in response to the task of my fellow sect, the sect also gave me many rewards. These I All were exchanged for spiritual stones and used to purchase the Xu family's Tiangang Puppet Talisman. "This man told the monk next to him about his indissoluble bond with this kind of talisman.

"So how many types of Tiangang Puppet Talismans have you collected, my friend? To be honest, my friend, I am short of money and have only collected three types until now."

The monk who was originally worried said that although he was also very obsessed with this kind of talisman, he still bought more to use. As for pure collection, he really didn't have enough financial resources.

"Oh? Then what are the names of the three types collected by my friend?" The person asked instead without answering his question.

"It's Tianlao, Tianli and Tianwei."

"Oh! Fellow Taoist still has Tianwei in his hand, so I wonder if you are willing to part with it? I can buy some more spiritual stones!"

"To be honest, I actually like these different types of talismans very much, and" he was interrupted before he finished speaking.

"I'm offering six thousand spirit stones. What do fellow Taoists think of this price?" The disciple from the sect was obviously very wealthy. At that time, he increased the price of the spiritual talisman, which was originally worth five thousand spirit stones, by one thousand spirit stones.

"Okay, since my Taoist friend is so elegant, I don't intend to spoil the fun. But I also have a condition, that is, I don't know if you have a duplicate Tiangang Puppet Talisman in your hand. Just give it to me, and you won't need the spirit stone!"

Seeing that this person was from a sect, and that he also liked to collect Tiangang Puppet Talismans like himself. The most important thing was that he was wealthy. He wanted to make friends, so he refused to accept the spirit stone. When Zongmen Zhuji heard what he said, he was very happy and took out a Heavenly Sin Star Talisman from his storage bag. While giving it to him, he also got the Tianwei Star Talisman from his hand.

After the exchange, the relationship between the two parties became much closer, and they began to conduct in-depth research on the issue of the Tiangang Puppet Talisman.

"Fellow Taoist, do you think it's strange? Since the last time the Tiangang Puppet Talisman showed its power and saved me and a group of fellow students, my junior brothers and sisters have also fallen in love with the Tiangang Puppet Talisman, and everyone has equipped it with them. Three or four, plus the purchases from other sects, our sect has purchased no less than a hundred kinds of such talismans.

To be honest, my popularity among the sect is quite good, so I also asked about the names of the talismans among my fellow sects, but I found that most people’s names were duplicates, and there were only about twenty kinds. Logically speaking, this Tiangang The number should be sixty-six and thirty-six, but there are not many of them. I wonder if friends have also noticed this? "

Zongmen Zhuji asked for advice. This problem has been bothering him for a long time. Today, when he met someone from the same group, he naturally wanted to find out.

"To be honest, fellow Taoist, I have noticed this situation a long time ago. I was born in a medium-sized demon hunting team, and there are more than forty foundation-building monks in it. I heard that the various spiritual talismans in Xujiayuan Guangge are good, and I have experienced them personally. After that, many foundation-building teammates chose to buy the Tiangang Puppet Talisman, but the total number of various types was only more than ten, and there were many duplicates. I guess the shopkeeper of the Xu family may not have mastered all these thirty-six How to draw a spiritual talisman?" Zhu Ji, who was from the demon hunting team, guessed.

"Fellow Taoist's conjecture is very reasonable. I estimate that the talisman-making inheritance of the Tiangang Puppet Talisman obtained by the shopkeeper of the Xu family is incomplete. Otherwise, there is no reason why all thirty-six kinds of talismans would not appear."

The two talked for a while, agreed to meet at Xujiayuan Guangge tomorrow morning, and then left.

In fact, both of their guesses were wrong, because Xu Zhiyu did this deliberately. He took out the puppet talismans of Tiankuixing, Tianxiongxing, Tianguixing, Tianpingxing, Tianshuixing and Tianqiaoxing from the Thirty-six Tiangang Middle Stars separately and did not sell them to the outside world.

The reason for this is because every six kinds of Tiangang puppet talismans are combined together to form a talisman array, transforming into a puppet equivalent to a first-level monk in Zifu. Such a talisman is too powerful and too easy to attract attention. If It would be bad to be targeted by monks with ulterior motives.

He took out any one of the six talisman arrays just to avoid this situation. Although the power of a single puppet talisman is not trivial, in this huge Tianyuanfang City, there are many second-level high-grade spiritual talismans that can compete with it, so it will not arouse the curiosity of others.

Therefore, those monks who like to collect stamps and want to collect the thirty-six complete Tiangang Puppet Talisman are doomed to be disappointed.

At this time, in the conference hall on the second floor of the Xu family, all the monks of the Xu family had put on plain robes, and each of them had a black gauze tied on their right arm. They were being led by Xu Zhiyu. Next, facing the direction of the family, he lowered his head silently, expressing condolences and high respect for the deceased family elder Xu Shengxiao. The whole scene was solemn and solemn.

After all the ceremonies were over, everyone took their seats, preparing to listen to Xu Zhiyu's letter from the family and learn about the causes and consequences of the death of this family elder.

"Xu Shengxiao was born in the 821st year of the family calendar and died in the 1035th year of the family calendar at the age of 224. He worked hard for the family all his life, and worked hard and achieved great results. Unfortunately, he broke through the Zifu At that time, due to lack of preparation, the breakthrough failed and he died! When he opened the retreat cave, he was found to have been dead for many days. Xu Deming, the seventh-generation ancestor of the family, personally scattered his sparks and half of his ashes on the family mountain. , half of which is kept in the family ancestral hall, and a golden tablet is left for family members to burn incense and mourn!"

When they heard that the sixteenth grandfather Xu Shengxiao left a golden tablet, Xu Zhikai and others who were familiar with the clan rules couldn't help but be a little surprised, because the tablets erected in this ancestral hall were also very particular.

The tablets in the Xu family ancestral hall are all made of the trunks of second-grade low-grade shade trees. Originally, there was no distinction between high and low. However, after the death of a clan member, their tablets would be painted in different colors based on their cultivation and contributions during their lifetime.

Generally speaking, after the death of the Qi Lian clan members, their tablets will be painted in copper color, and those of the Foundation Establishment clan members will be painted in silver color. Only after the Zifu monks are enthroned, their tablets will be painted in gold color.

Of course, this is not absolute. If the Qi Practitioner has made a great contribution to the family, then the family ancestor and the patriarch, after discussion, can adjust the color of the tablet at their discretion, turning the original bronze color into silver paint. However, such a situation has not happened several times in the history of the family. As for the foundation-building monk's tablet being painted in gold, that is unheard of. From the time the Xu family was founded to the present, the only person who has painted the tablet in gold is one person. He is the founder of the Xu family.

"After discussions between the ancestors, the clan leader, and many family foundation builders, they all agreed that the rapid development of our Xu family in recent years is inseparable from Grandpa Sixteen's huge contribution, so in the end everyone agreed to paint his tablet in gold!"

"Ancestor is wise!"

"The patriarch is wise!"

"If I were in the family, I would definitely agree to do this!"

Everyone was talking about it, and no one raised any objections. It seemed that Grandpa Sixteen's status was relatively high in the hearts of many tribesmen. His dedication was also seen by the tribesmen and remembered in their hearts. I think it must be He should be very pleased to know this, Xu Zhiyu thought.

In fact, what he did not explain to the clansmen was that Xu Shengxiao's failure to break through this time actually had something to do with him.

Before he left home, he had given the Ziyang Pill to his grandfather for safekeeping. Xu Sheng, who learned that his younger brother wanted to break through the Zifu, comforted Xu Shengxiao and showed him the Ziyang Pill that had never been known to him.

Unexpectedly, this not only did not make Xu Shengxiao concentrate on polishing the foundation-building magic power, but he believed that with the blessing of Ziyang Pill and the top-grade Purple Qi Talisman, his breakthrough was a sure thing, so he hurriedly retreated, and in the Purple Qi Treasure After Fu did not help him successfully break through the Zi Mansion, he swallowed the Ziyang Pill again in an attempt to break through, but God's will played a trick on him. Even if the combined success rate of the two combined to break through the Zi Mansion exceeded 100%, he still fell short in the end. His body exploded and he died without breaking through to the coveted Zifu realm.

But Xu Zhiyu doesn't blame himself, because he can't blame himself for this. The blame can only be blamed on Xu Shengxiao for acting too hastily. If he had listened to his grandfather's advice, honed his spiritual power, and waited until the time was right before making a breakthrough, then in the end The results will be very different. It can only be said that fate plays a trick on people.

Fortunately, although Xu Shengxiao exploded and died after his breakthrough failed, he put the ultimate purple energy talisman that had been exhausted in a safe place before taking the Ziyang Pill. Otherwise, he might have failed his breakthrough. And was blown up.

In this way, after he returns home, he can continue to charge the talisman. If this talisman is also destroyed, then Xu Shengxiao will be the sinner of the Xu family. Not to mention painting his tablet gold, it is his tablet. Whether it can be placed in the ancestral hall of the Xu family is still open to debate!

The memorial service lasted for a full three hours. By the time it ended, it was already dark and everyone went back to their rooms. (End of chapter)
