Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 135 I have a friend

On the second day, Bai Zhi and Jin Cuilian were drinking porridge made from rouge rice. Bai Zhi said, "Master, this rice is even more delicious than crystal rice."

Zhao Zhen said: "It's a pity that there is too little rice, and it can only be planted in spiritual fields. Eating it regularly can strengthen your physical constitution. Cuilian's constitution is weak, and eating it for three months can strengthen your constitution by 1 point. The golden wheat and crystal rice brought in from outside It also has the effect of enhancing physical fitness. Nowadays, many heroes in the village are in charge of various affairs, and they have their share every month. Next year, a large number of these two things will be planted in the village."

"It's a pity that the cultivation conditions of this rouge rice are harsh. The fertile fields need to be irrigated with animal blood. The Lingtian currently only has two acres of land in Baishi Valley where mirror persimmons are temporarily planted. They will be removed in the spring of next year and can be planted. Then there is Zhengsun Zheng in Liangcun. Some time ago, two people, Tian Dasheng and Tian Dasheng, came to report that there is a spirit in the east of the village near the foot of the mountain. It is estimated that there will be five acres of spiritual fields. There are also two acres of vegetable gardens in Kushutun Valley, and they will also be replanted with rouge rice. Now there are still more than 100 tons of rice. , excluding the spiritual field, which requires more than one stone, the rest can only be planted in fertile fields, for fear that the beast’s blood will not be enough.”

Jin Cuilian said: "Master, I see that you can also use animal blood and luck to enlighten the spiritual field, why don't you catalyze it?"

Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly and said: "This method can only be used in small quantities. One acre of land consumes too much luck. It requires nearly 170 points of luck. The entire Liangshan Township has only so much luck. Just wait, just wait for Wu Xuexue and his party When people return, they will still be used to dispel the fog and expand the territory.”

With that said, Zhao Zhen glanced at the log, and the Luck column showed 164. It is not enough to catalyze one acre of spiritual land.

The three of them had breakfast and went about their business. Zhao Zhen wanted to go to Lingguan Hall today. The Five Thunder Orders are currently enshrined in Lingguan Hall. According to what Dong Laodao said, they can add some incense to increase their power when consecrated. Yesterday, Guanghui sent carved beads. Zhao Zhen counted them and found only 30 larger beads and 10 smaller beads from the scraps. Let Mr. Dong take a look at it and string it together so that he can take it with him. Since the soapwood bracelets were given out as love tokens, Zhao Zhen only had one bracelet made of bluestone beads. There were originally eighteen beads. After Zhao Zhen became a Taoist priest, he added six more beads and changed it to twenty-four. The stars represent the twenty-four solar terms. Now it is also enshrined in Lingguan Hall.

Zhao Zhen rode to the Lingguan Hall and saw Jiao Ting training his soldiers. He said that the training of soldiers was different from other places. The soldiers each resisted a generation of sand and ran around the Lingguan Hall. Seeing Zhao Zhen, Jiao Ting went up to him and said, "Master, are you here today to see the construction of the military camp? I just went to see the red leaf tree. Brother Tao Zongwang told me that it will take three to five days to complete the repairs."

Zhao Zhen said: "This is just one of them. Today I have to discuss Taoism with Dong Laodao." Listening to Zhao Zhen's words, Jiao Ting lost interest and said, "The owner of the village will go on his own. Dong Laodao has just finished his morning lessons."

Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "Brother Jiao Ting, go and do your own business. We will talk to you later." After that, Zhao Zhen stepped into the Lingguan Hall.

After cleaning my hands, I first put on a stick of incense. Then he handed the beads to Tao Laodao.

Dong Laodao took the brocade bag, poured out all the beads inside, counted them, and said: "Master, we already have twenty-four solar terms beads. These beads can be used to make a constellation with twenty-eight flowing beads." Bracelet, or two pieces of twelve-piece Raimon bracelets, does the owner have any ideas?"

Zhao Zhen said: "I have no idea, so I came here to ask the Taoist Master for advice."

The Taoist priest said: "If you don't make Thunder Gate beads, firstly, the lightning strikes the jujube tree, and the power of the thunder from the sky remains, and the Thunder Gate beads are made into perfect matches. Secondly, the twelve Thunder Gate beads are twisted day by day, and the power of the thunder is left." It will be easier for the owner of the village to learn the thunder method and use the Five Thunder Orders."

"The twelve thunder gates are Wuji Gate, Feixuan Gate, Jiuqi Gate, Taiyi Gate, Thunderbolt Gate, Danling Gate, Xiehuo Gate, Zhongsheng Gate, Wei Zhen Gate, Life and Death Gate, Qianyuan Gate, and Yin and Yang Gate. , each has its own guard. If you understand it carefully, it can kill plagues and slave ghosts, control floods and droughts in the world, control the infestation of evil spirits, and attack unkind and unjust people."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said: "Taoist Master has thought carefully and made two strings of Thunder Gate beads, and Taoist Master also took one string." Mr. Dong thanked Zhao Zhen, and while stringing beads with five-color rope, he explained: "I am a Taoist. Five-color ropes are often used to string beads to symbolize the five colors and five directions. The cyan in the east belongs to wood, the red in the south belongs to fire, the yellow in the center belongs to earth, the white in the west belongs to gold, and the black in the north belongs to water. They are also the five colors of Qinglong, Suzaku, White Tiger, Xuanwu, and Huanglong. Spirits can drive away evil spirits and avoid plagues. If there are spiritual silkworms that spin five-colored silk and offer sacrifices to it, it can also be a magical weapon."

Zhao Zhen also kept this matter in mind. After Dong Laodao put the beads on the altar table, the two went to sit in the back compartment. Zhao Zhen asked some questions, and then he became a little nervous.

Dong Laodao was a streetwalker who was good at telling fortunes and reading fortunes. When he saw this, he asked, "Master, is there anything you can't tell me?"

Zhao Zhen then said: "Taoist Master, I heard that there is a Happy Buddha in Buddhism. Is there a dual cultivation method in Taoism? I have a friend who is widowed and has many wives and concubines. He is also good at gun and stick martial arts. He practices martial arts every day. I heard Now that you are learning Taoism, come and ask me if there is any way to practice dual cultivation."

"Don't you know if you have this kind of bloodline?"

Dong Laodao said with a smile: "Taoism naturally has dual cultivation methods, such as "Xuan Nu Sutra", "Su Nu Sutra", "Peng Zu Sutra", "Rong Cheng Jing", "Yuan Yang Zi Jing", and "Liu Yin Jade Nu Sutra" There are records, but the Niutoushan lineage has never been passed down. The old Taoist was alone and did not pay attention. I saw the owner of the village taking [Yishen Pills] every day. The old Taoist also went to the medical clinic to read the prescription for this medicine to nourish the body and mind. , the owner of the village is still young, so he should have no worries."

Zhao Zhen quickly explained: "We are friends, we are just preparing for a rainy day. Make preparations in advance for the future."

After listening to the Su Nv Sutra, Zhao Zhen thought to himself: "The little lady Bai Zhi gave her a copy of the "Su Nv Sutra", which contains ten movements and eight benefits. It seems that it is a dual cultivation method, so I have to discuss it with Dong Laodao. .”

The old Taoist said with a smile: "The [Five Elements Boxing] taught by the old Taoist to the village owner can also harmonize the yin and yang and the five elements. Daily practice will also have some effects. The village master can give this boxing method to your friend."

Zhao Zhen said with some pity: "It seems that this is the only way." In his heart, he raised the priority of [Five Elements Fist].

Zhao Zhen was thinking about something in his mind and said: "Taoist Master, on the twenty-eighth of this month, I will marry a wife in the main world. I just invite the Taoist Master to watch the ceremony. In this way, I can also extend my life. If the Taoist Master is free, the Five Thunder Order After the consecration, I will go to the main world for a visit."

After hearing this, Dong Laodao was very excited. He twirled his beard with too much force and broke two beards. He said, "Old Taoist is naturally free. Don't worry, Lord, the consecration is not difficult. We have agreed with the manager Zhao Yuanli. Tomorrow The altar will be built and will be consecrated the day after tomorrow. In the past few days, the old Taoist has been chanting sutras in the temple."

Zhao Zhen nodded and said to Dong Laodao: "In this case, I leave it all to the Taoist Master."

Seeing that at noon, Mr. Dong wanted to keep Zhao Zhen for dinner, Zhao Zhen shook his head, said goodbye to Mr. Dong, said a few words to Jiao Ting, and returned to his old house in Xixi Village. I ate with Bai Zhi and Jin Cuilian, and ate rouge rice.
