Oh, to save people into Taoism.
It seems that Lu Chunyang's cultivation level is only average.
Old Songshu looked at the young Taoist and couldn't help but understand, so he calmed down, stroked his beard, and replied calmly:
"Easy to say, easy to say. I remember this person and will find a way to find you later."
"I will help you find this person when the time comes."
His voice paused and he emphasized: "I have lived for five hundred years."
"Absolutely no lies!"
The spirits in the mountains also laughed.
The young man thanked him and sent these spirits all the way. When he passed through the deep forest and could see the city in the hazy mist in the distance, he stopped. Qi Wuhuo did not rush on, waiting for the spirits to eat.
After finishing the pine nuts in his hands, he was about to leave. The spirit of the mountain watched him go away from the high place in the mountain. The young Taoist nodded slightly and thanked him.
There is a breath flowing through the body.
He also carried the seal of the mountain god from Helian Mountain, just as Tao Taigong said.
The Seal of the Mountain God cannot mobilize the earth's veins to display many magical powers and magic, but it can also use the earth's veins to perform the method of escaping from the earth. This place is still some distance from the capital. The young Taoist borrowed the power of this earth's veins and walked towards it step by step.
Go to Fucheng.
Behind him, Peony Jing, whose stomach was bloated from eating and had several pine nuts stuffed in his mouth, finally swallowed the pine nuts. He was satisfied and then touched his belly. He was too happy just now, but now he realized something.
A very strange question. He looked at the old Shugong who had lived for more than five hundred years and had seen a lot, and said curiously:
"But speaking of which, I haven't asked yet, why can he see us and hear us?"
"Didn't it mean that even those Taoist priests with innate energy need to cast spells to do it?"
The old pine tree stopped for a moment, and when he was about to say something, there must be a special method, maybe someone else has already done it, but we didn't see anything during this process; then we saw the young Taoist priest in blue robes turned around and walked into the mist, taking a step
When I stepped out, there was suddenly no trace.
Submerged in the rain and fog, it was difficult to see.
ha?!!!
The old pine trees are slow to caress their beards.
Words cannot come out.
Seeing the rain and mist, all the spirits in the mountain turned their heads and looked at him.
The old pine tree held on to the pine bark and said, "What's the matter? It doesn't matter. I'll ask when the mountain god comes back."
"He must know who Chunyang is!"
"Just wait."
"Wait!"
"I have lived to be five hundred years old, five hundred years old!"
"What's that look in your eyes?!"
"I am..."
……………………
As Qi Wuhuo walked away, he heard the words behind him, such as being five hundred years old and well-informed, that kept coming and slowly dissipated.
There are mountain scenery to the left and right, and the wind blows mist, which is very cool and pleasant.
As the saying goes, if you look at the mountain, you will die, and the converse is of course the same. Rather, if you look out from the mountain, you can see very far away. The city is actually very far away from here. Normally, you need to carry dry food for about 10 minutes.
One day, if you are admiring the scenery on the road and get mesmerized by the scenery, you may have to spend the night in the mountains.
Qi Wuhuo finally arrived within the time of a stick of incense, relying on the magical ability of the mountain gods and earth creatures to escape from the earth.
A little bit surprised.
According to his original estimate, although he could use his soul to drive the mountain god talisman, his vitality was weak and he could not walk such a long distance. He must take a good rest in between. When he was reading the jade book just now, he was already looking at it.
I slowly thought about the map, where to stop and where to rest.
It saves time now.
It's just that at this moment, there is a long queue in front of the city. Naturally, there are armored sergeants inspecting [passing the place]. Because of taxation and corvee, the court does not allow ordinary people to leave the place where they are. If you pass by land, you will pass, and if you cross by water, there will be soldiers inspecting.
Passing a pass], those who have no delinquency are breaking through and will be caught and punished. If you want to leave, you must have a valid reason before being given a pass.
Qi Wuhuo raised his eyes and saw what was going on in the hands of the man in the distance.
Because it is covered, only part of the text can be seen.
[Ding, male, Jiaqili, Zhongwufang, Bali Village, Yunshui Township]
[Going to Zhongzhou Fucheng for a casual visit to relatives and friends]
[I am afraid that I will be caught by the guards at the pass, so I will give you a reason for not practicing. Please give me a pass]
[The five guarantors are Uncle Cen, Wang Ergou, Zhao Shu, Zhang Liu, and Wu Qi; all the items they brought were their own and were not obtained by robbers or thieves]
[Brother Zhao Wuliu is the guarantor: After my brother passes away, my brother will be the guarantor for all household corvee matters and above. If he does not return when the due date is up, my brother will make up the payment]
The young Taoist pursed his lips, feeling that it would be difficult to enter the city.
If you want to "pass the prison", you have to report to the authorities one by one, and you have to have five people guaranteeing that you will definitely come back, instead of escaping from the service, you also need close relatives to guarantee you. If you fail to come back after the expiration date, you will be in trouble.
When it's time to pay the corvee tax, the surety will help you fill it out, and even so, there is only a thirty-day period for this [transfer].
If it expires, it must be reissued in the city where it is located. Otherwise, if you are caught by the soldiers, you will be punished.
Qi Wuhuo suddenly thought of the book "Journey to the West" in the dream. There are monks who always need to have a "clearance document" when passing a customs. But if you think about it, every thirty days when adding new people to the city, you need to have the local official's approval "let you go".
The seals and stamps were all stuck to the end of the document, and one layer was added every thirty days. Therefore, at the end of the day, the customs clearance documents were so thick that they had to be carried around on a pole.
Ah, is the salute that Monk Sha is carrying turned out to be a customs clearance document?
The young Taoist seemed to have thought of something interesting and couldn't help but smile.
Others didn't understand and only saw the handsome Taoist smiling to himself.
Immediately he took two steps back and pinched lightly with his fingers.
The innate energy can move as desired, but now his energy cannot leave the body, so he can only use some ordinary methods.
He used a blind trick written in "The Record of Becoming an Immortal" and walked carefully in front of the soldier. He looked up and saw a Bagua mirror shining brightly in the city gate, facing the door. Perhaps it was aimed at evil cultivators and evildoers. He practiced it.
Xuanmen's orthodoxy is the most upright. The Bagua mirror failed to reveal him, so Qi Wuzhuo walked in the city.
"Thankfully, if you are caught, you will have to do corvee..."
After entering the city, it was already dark.
The dull sound of drums could be heard in the distance.
This is the evening drum.
The big city is divided into "fangs", which is the so-called "those who live in the town are called fangs, and those who live in the fields are called villages".
Beat the evening drum at three o'clock in the morning.
A total of 600 bells will be sounded, and you must return to your home within the 600 bells.
Ring the morning bell at three o'clock in the morning.
Those who walk during this time period will be punished with forty floggings, and if they are released before the fifth watch, they will be flogged thirty times. Naturally, they can walk freely during fertility, disease, death and funeral. Qi Wuhuo has no [passing place] now and cannot live at all.
Entering the hotel, there were soldiers patrolling the city at night, and it was really troublesome to be invisible at all times, so I had to find a dilapidated earth temple in a building on the edge.
When I opened the door, dust fell out, and the earth temple seemed to be in disrepair and was creaking.
The Tutu Temple was in a mess, with a strange smell and glances. Qi Wuhuo saw that there were many beggars in ragged clothes with dust on their faces. He raised his head and looked at the young Taoist, his eyes were dark and dusty, and
It's lackluster and has nothing to do with the strictness outside this big city.
They didn't seem to expect that such a neatly dressed Taoist would come here.
Qi Wuhuo said gently: "I'm sorry to bother you, but I want to stay here for one night. Is that okay?"
A beggar suddenly muttered twice and said: "Little Taoist priest, if you want to stay here, there are three Taoist temples in this city."
"Even if you go to the great monk's temple, they won't be able to drive you out."
"The great monk who is in charge of the ledger feels uncomfortable."
"However, this Tutu Temple belongs to Tudigong. If you want, you can squeeze in here with us beggars. Hey, I'm just afraid of staining your clothes."
Qi Wuhuo thanked him and sat on the haystack.
The beggars crowded together to sleep, but the temperature was extremely cold in winter after all. Even though there were earth temples that shielded the strong wind, the temperature was still low. The wind flew from all directions, and the beggars over there cuddled together and trembled constantly.
Sitting in front of the statue in Tutu Temple, the young Taoist priest was struggling to endure such days, making secrets with his fingers, raising his hands slightly, and silently reciting the Xuanzhang in his mouth.
The spirit of oneself circulates, and the wind is blocked.
The room is slowly getting warmer.
Those in the same room who did not know their past experiences or their future path stopped trembling and could hardly sleep peacefully.
The young Taoist withdrew his spell and looked gentle. He just sat on the ground, with the cold moonlight shining on his body. He relied on the statue and took out the mountain god's practice scroll. He looked at it slowly and found that it was clean. When he took the scroll, he touched it.
With the wooden box on his waist, he thought of the girl's last words, so he made a seal with his fingers, used a breath-holding eye-shielding technique, and then pointed around, drawing a circle to cover himself.
Then I looked at the wooden box.
After opening it, it looked like an ordinary bronze mirror.
There are words flowing on it, rub it gently, and recite the words silently:
"[Method of circular light manifestation]"
The cloud patterns on the mirror surface flowed and turned into words. Qi Wuhuo had to use his soul to see it.
Recite silently in your heart.
"Look in the mirror to see the form. When you sit in a small house, point to the bright, gradually close your eyes, and think about the form. At first, there is nothing to see. After staying in the middle, gradually the hole is far away, and you can see your own eyes. When you think about it, your heart will be bright and enlightened.
…”
I have read the entire article on magic practice.
Facing this mirror, practice according to the method recorded behind these words.
Qi Wuhuo felt that there seemed to be a faint brilliance between his eyebrows, as if he could find traces of the girl just like the magic door recorded in the mirror. There seemed to be some faint flowing lines on the mirror, and the changes in brilliance were indeed the same as before.
The dusty and foggy appearance is different.
Then suddenly a screen appeared.
The girl was holding her chin in one hand, leaning very close to the mirror, and seemed to be poking at the mirror with her fingers out of boredom.
To Qi Wuhuo, it looked like the girl was reaching out to poke him.
His eyes were like autumn water, and his face was like white jade, but his face was full of boredom, completely different from the cheerful look before.
It seemed that the energy was not here, and he did not notice the changes here. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said: "Qi Wuhuo..."
The young Taoist replied gently:
"Yeah, I'm here."
"Huh? Ah?!"
ps:
"Liu Dian of the Tang Dynasty" stipulates that "everywhere pedestrians, carriages and horses come and go, they must be surveyed according to the [passing place]."
The mirror method comes from "Dongxuan Lingbao Taoist Mirror Method", the author is unknown, and it comes from the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
It is roughly the same as "Shang Qing Ming Jian Yao Jing" and "Shang Qing Ming Jian Zhen Jing".
