The morning light is faint.
In the open space under the Zaojun Temple, local people have begun to get busy.
Various sounds intertwined into boiling waves,
It seemed to set the air on fire.
After having breakfast, Su Wu and Lao Tao walked side by side in the open space.
"Taoist Priest,
I plan to take shape in Zaozhuang and after I have settled all my junior brothers and sisters, I will follow you to Maoshan.
This will probably take some time, maybe more than half a month.
I wonder what you think?" Su Wu asked the old Taoist.
The old Taoist shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "Whether you go or not, it all depends on you - the old Taoist can't tie you up. The old Taoist has been with the Zao team for such a long time, but he is not in a hurry now."
"Thank you, old Taoist Master, for your understanding." Su Wu and the old Taoist bowed their hands and saluted.
From the time he first entered the past life of a disciple of the Kitchen King God to the present, Su Wu has stayed in this past life for nearly thirty days.
Count the time,
Either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, it's time for him to exit the simulation.
What I have experienced in the past month is more than what others have experienced in a year.
He promised the old Taoist to go to Maoshan to teach with him.
Nowadays, it seems that it may not be possible.
As a large porcelain bowl that carries the past life of a 'disciple of the Stove God Sect', it may not be able to withstand the second time he simulates it for such a long time after being simulated in his real form.
The quality of the 'coarse porcelain bowl' is not as good as that of the 'gangdong'.
but,
Su Wu also made some preparations here and left some backup options.
I hope these tips can be useful,
You can allow yourself to simulate your real body for the second time and continue this "past life".
That is - he left a copper ring that he held day and night under the stone tablet in Zaojun Temple.
After I return to reality and deal with the ‘evil god’,
You can go to the real Zaojun Temple,
Go find this copper ring.
Perhaps this copper ring can become a 'relic', allowing me to continue the simulated time of my past life.
"Zhijin Mountain" is not a famous mountain or river. It is actually a bit difficult to find the location of Zaojun Temple just based on this place name. It cannot be said that in later generations, the name of this mountain has been changed several times.
but,
Su Wu followed the Zao team all the way,
After traveling through various places, these areas were connected in his mind and a road map had already been formed.
He could vaguely tell,
The area I am currently in should be the "Yunnan-Guizhou" area in later generations.
The names of some of the towns he passed have not changed much in modern times - he has a vague impression in his mind. Then he can rely on these clues to search for the location of the 'Zaojun Temple' in reality according to the map.
Xuqing City is not too far from the Yunnan-Guizhou area.
"Little boy Li,
Don't be too stressed,
For the old Taoist, it is imperative to return to the sect.
But if something cannot be done,
The old Taoist will not tell you to waste your life.
As your master said, people like you are more useful to the world while alive than dead." The old Taoist saw Su Wu frowning, as if he was lost in thought about something, so he patted the other person on the shoulder.
I gave a few words of comfort.
He didn't know that what Su Wu was thinking at this moment was different from what he thought.
Su Wu smiled, looked at the old Taoist and said: "Taoist Master, if you don't hold a sectarian view and spread the teachings to the world, like my Kitchen King Sect, which saves the world, maybe it will be more beneficial to the people of the world.
.”
The old man was silent for a moment,
He shook his head and said: "It's just that the old Taoist treasures his broom and his family so much.
In fact, the practice of the Xianjiao Taoist sect pays more attention to the disciples' talent and understanding than the practice of the Zaowang God Cult.
and,
Explicit teaching methods are spread too much, which may not be a good thing for people in the world...
The upper, middle and lower shamans of Maoshan all have the core practice of communicating with spirits, ancestors and teachers.
You have also seen how terrifying it is when such a method is used.
Then have you ever thought about it,
If this method is learned by someone with evil intentions, and he fails to learn it well, and something goes wrong in the middle of casting the method, what will be the result?
According to the old way,
——If one day, there is no mystery in the world,
It would be better for all these teachings to rot in the soil.
It is better not to spread it,
It’s better not to pass it on…”
Listening to the old Taoist's words, Su Wu was shocked.
He always felt that he had heard or seen something similar to Lao Dao's last few words...??m
But then I suddenly thought about it,
But I can’t remember it at all!
Su Wu frowned and fell into deep thought,
The old Taoist looked at him, turned around and left without saying anything else.
Su Wu behind him stopped him again: "These methods of communicating with the underworld need not be taught. The Kung Fu of strengthening the body is like the Kung Fu of 'planting lotuses in the fire, subduing evil and refining demons' that you mentioned earlier.
It can always be passed on, right?!"
The old Taoist's back froze slightly,
Turning back to Su Wu, he said: "This method is to reverse the door of life and death and steal the opportunity of yin and yang - and the method is so fierce that not only does it require you to choose a gloomy place to bury yourself during practice, but also it can cause death if you are not careful. I will destroy my own life,
Are you sure you want to fix it?
The name of Maoshan Wubanshan Taoist,
It comes from this method - if you are not desperate, the evil in your body will revive, and you can no longer suppress it with your own body. The old Taoist still advises you not to practice such a method!"
"The more the Taoist priest said this, the more
The more the boy wants to give it a try and practice this method.
What is this method called?"
"The magic of cultivating the devil's body!
To practice this method, you also need to have a talisman body - anyway, you will not worship our Maoshan Witch Cult, you will not be able to receive the talisman, you have no heart seal, and you will not be able to accumulate a body. However, your Kitchen God Sect's 'fire gathering method' , after refining,
Get a ‘Fire God Body’,
It is enough to use it to practice the 'devil body cultivation method'.
If you practice this method, the old Taoist can 'move mountains' for you - but this will have to wait until you and I return to Maoshan Wucai!"
"...that's fine."
…
At night.
It’s still in the Zao Lord Temple.
The disciples of Yinxi Meridian sat in a circle around the brazier.
The firelight illuminated everyone's faces in varying degrees of brightness.
Su Wu picked up a thick wooden stick and stirred the firewood in the brazier to make it burn more vigorously.
After a while,
He put down the stick,
He took out several brochures from his arms and handed them to Pearl next to him.
Zhu'er took the booklet and was wondering why, when Su Wu spoke first: "This is our Yinxi Meridian's 'fire gathering method', 'Zohuo fire blessings', 'Ji Shen ritual', and 'the secret method of improving the five inner jars'" ', 'French methods for raising spiritual dogs', 'Soul harvesting rice, deep-fried oil recipe' and other practice methods,
I sorted it all out,
I tried my best to choose the characters you know when writing the words above.
Even if there are more than ten words you don’t recognize, you can still ask knowledgeable people for help, and you will always be able to understand the meaning.”
Pearl held the booklet, feeling an ominous premonition in her heart.
She turned slightly pale and asked Su Wu in a trembling voice: "Elder brother, what does this mean? You are now the master of our Yinxi Meridian. Shouldn't you pass these things on to us?"
What can I do with all my brains?
I do not want!"
"Don't be anxious.
Listen to me slowly." Su Wu glanced at Zhu'er and silenced her. Then he took out the 'Yinxi Vein Master' seal button from the bag behind him and handed it to Zhu'er again.
He distributed several pieces of ‘Zhen Shen Mian’ sewn with silk threads to all the junior brothers and sisters.
Then he said: "From now on, you will first practice the 'Yishen Ritual' with Zhu'er.
After you have mastered the ritual process, you can formally worship the God of Ji and wear these masks.
You must not neglect the raising of the six dogs.
I left enough medicinal materials here,
Feed them in daily doses.
The mule colt - it ate a worm into its stomach, and except for the very beginning, there are almost no signs of its revival. I can't figure out the reason for this at the moment.
If it shows signs of revival in the future,
Don't remember to imprison it yet,
You can try to cover its head with the god's face,
Maybe it works.
besides……"
Su Wu, who has always been taciturn,
At this time, he talked for nearly ten minutes,
The more he spoke,
The eye circles of all the junior brothers and sisters became redder and redder.
They all felt the breath of 'parting'.
"Elder brother, where are you going?" Zhu'er raised her eyes, with great fear and sadness in her eyes.
"Accidents will happen,
Good things happen to people." Su Wu said to Zhu'er, "All the preparations I have made now are due to the sudden death of my master. You don't have to worry, I have made an agreement with the old Taoist priest.
After the Zaozhuang begins to take shape, we will go to the Maoshan Witch Cult with him.
This will happen half a month later..."
After hearing his assurance, everyone gradually felt relieved.
Pearl smiled: "You did it so grandly, I thought you were going somewhere.
What happened half a month later..."
Her mood suddenly became depressed again,
Sighing: "I still have to leave in half a month..."
"It doesn't mean you won't come back after you leave. What are you thinking about those things?" Qingmiao wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, a smile appeared on his face, and began to comfort others.
Su Wu glanced at the faces of all the junior brothers and sisters,
He looked dazed for a moment.
If you really can't come back,
so what should I do now?
…
late at night.
Su Wu was sitting by the brazier, playing with the firewood - it was his turn to keep vigil tonight.
The even breathing of several junior brothers and sisters could be heard in Zaojun Temple.
He glanced sideways into the temple, then slowly stood up and walked out of the temple.
Before he had even taken a few steps, Pearl's call came from behind: "Brother, senior brother, where are you going?"
Su Wu froze slightly and looked back.
I saw a few pairs of bright eyes lighting up in the darkness.
Zhuer, Qingmiao, Gou Sheng, and Xiu Xiu all got up from the bed and looked at him eagerly.
"I'm going outside to relieve myself.
You guys should go to sleep quickly, I won't be able to walk far." Su Wu paused and then replied.
"oh.
Senior brother, come back soon." Zhuer promised.
Several people who got up from the bed fell asleep again.
Su Wu breathed a sigh of relief,
Take a step towards the outside,
Go to a remote corner,
He whispered: "Exit the simulation!"
But at this time,
A slender figure rushed over in a hurry, watching him disappear: "Senior brother - where are you going?"
He looked back hastily,
The person he saw coming was none other than Pearl.
