The bamboo demon Xiao Zhang joined, alleviating Wu Qi's urgent need for insufficient manpower.

When walking with Wu Qi in Chongyang, it can identify various plants and creatures, and it can also help in fighting.

There must be someone to stay in the statue of the East Temple to facilitate timely feedback on incense and prayer. Xiao Zhang is just right.

It is worth mentioning that Wu Qi found that the Hanxiang Mirror could not recognize the Taoist soldiers attached to the statue, which was also a major advantage of the exiled immortal, but he was doubtful about whether the great monks were effective.

For a month, Wu Qi went to the Yan and Iron Department to study every day, and his understanding of bamboo became more and more solid.

Today is the thirteenth day of the fifth lunar month, the bamboo drunken day.

On this day, bamboos are drunk, and planting bamboos is easy to live, and it is also the day when planting bamboos.

At the same time, bamboos are drunken when they are drunk.

The Salt and Iron Department sent many experienced bamboo craftsmen to plant bamboo and find drunk bamboo.

So Wu Qi had a day off.

The brothers of Fuyun Temple either practice or go down the mountain to make money. They are busy and hard to see each other. Chen Gao also went to Jianzhou. It is suspected that there were demon cultivators using evil magic to deceive money. Many merchants are looking for Taoist priests to eliminate trouble, which is a good place to beg for alms.

Wu Qi calmed down and continued to practice Qi and meditate in the hut in the inner temple.

Cultivators must constantly understand the spiritual energy of the outside world and realize the innate qi. When the spiritual energy in their body turns into liquid, their body will be particularly solid and difficult to damage. At this stage, it is the foundation-building stage.

There is not much difference between Taoist priests in the Qi Refining Stage and ordinary people, but they can swallow and spit out the external spiritual energy and absorb it in their bodies, and absorb and control the qi.

The three Taoist magic weapons all need to be guided by qi. Even if ordinary people hold magic weapons in their hands, they cannot use them without qi in their bodies, and they are not as good as ordinary swords.

Now that Wu Qi has been in his cultivation for fifty years, he is considered an anomaly among the Qi Refining Cultivator.

A cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage will inevitably go downhill and will find it difficult to make progress before he enters the foundation building at the age of forty.

This is what it means to lose when you are thirty and exhaust when you are forty.

With a solid 50 years of cultivation and the blessing of "Zodiac Body Forging Technique", Wu Qi is already the best in physical and melee combat in the Qi refining period.

However, cultivation and combat power are not the same.

Cultivation represents the foundation and level that a monk has, which is naturally the most important foundation. Only by focusing on cultivation, using various magic weapons, magic, talismans, and martial arts to reflect the actual combat power.

Taking Buddhism as an example, it is not uncommon for Buddhist monks with advanced cultivation to be the opponent of ordinary monks in actual combat.

Taoism also has the theory of practicing both life and life.

Nature refers to the inner Tao, that is, the mind and mind state, which is also called enlightenment; life is the heretic, which refers to the soul of the body, external magic, which is to practice Taoism.

Different causes and conditions are different. Some people realize the Tao overnight and step into the Nascent Soul and even the Yuanshen; some people practice Taoism for ten years, moving forward steadily and making great progress.

Enlightenment and practice complement each other. The higher the practice, the more you need to practice both life and life. Both the inside and the outside are indispensable, and this is even more true when facing ghosts.

If you only focus on external power of magic and magic, and do not have the balance of Taoism, you will easily be deceived by ghosts and become puppets.

Enlightenment of profound Taoism, but lacks magical and physical strength. Not only can he not protect himself, he will also become a delicious prey in the eyes of demon cultivators and demons.

The Taoist Qi Refining disciples practiced "Introduction to Qi Refining".

There are two versions of this Taoist classic, one is the annotation version of Wudang Mountain Five Dragon Palace, and the other is the annotation version of Qingcheng Mountain Changdao Temple. The latter is used for the Fuyun Temple.

"Introduction to Qi Practice" only focuses on basic Qi Practice and does not teach fighting skills.

In Fuyun Temple, Elder Yan wrote a brief formula himself, teaching the disciples in the Temple to control the weapons with qi and use the three magic weapons.

When I was still in the Sword Palace, the disciples in the pavilion were very good at fighting and were good at controlling magic swords and fighting flying swords. Since they changed their name to Fuyun Temple, only disciples in the Foundation Establishment Stage can learn swords and not pass on the Qi Refining Stage.

Fortunately, Wu Qi obtained the "Zodiac Body Forging Technique", and his cultivation can directly act on his body, allowing his physical strength to continue to grow, his speed, strength and explosive power to steadily increase, and he can fight directly when dealing with demons.

As long as the bone, blood and muscle strength is high enough, the turtle fist can do miracles with great force.

Now Wu Qi fights with one strategy: close-fits and hand-to-hand combat.

At the Qi Refining Stage, he was confident that his fist would not lose to anyone.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes.

A monk came to the East Temple, who seemed to discover the existence of the bamboo demon Xiao Zhang.

...

Wu Qi put his legs on his armour and rushed to the East Temple.

The Arma Talisman can only take five hours, and once it is injected with spiritual energy, it will begin to decline. The distance from Fuyunguan to Dongmiao is very close, but Wu Qi can't control so much in order to fight against time, so he ran to the steps outside the temple in one breath.

In the dilapidated and desolate ancient temple, facing Wu Qi, a burly monk standing at a seven-foot-tall height.

The monk had a shallow green skin on his head, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, carrying a large wooden box tightly wrapped with bamboo strips. He was staring at the statue of the gods in the temple with his left hand and the Zen stick in his right hand.

Feeling that the monk turned his face and looked at Wu Qi.

He was born with a leopard head and a ring of eyes, a strong jaw, and a restrained energy, as if there were dragons and tigers hidden in his body.

The tall monk bowed to Wu Qi: "I have seen a fellow Taoist, and the poor monk traveling to Shaolin Temple was relieved. He passed by this place and did not know that there was a master in the temple, so please don't blame me."

Wu Qi also clasped his hands together: "I misunderstood Wu Qi. The master misunderstood that this temple has been abandoned for many years, so I am just used to meditating here."

The common name of Buddhism and Taoism is that when a monk sees a Taoist priest, he bows his hands, and when a Taoist priest sees a monk performs a tribute to the ten rituals, it means mutual respect.

"So that's it." Shi Ran reached out and signaled: "Fellow Daoist, please come in."

The two saluted each other again.

Wu Qi was alert.

This monk is extraordinary.

Shaolin Temple in Songshan is one of the seven Buddhist temples and is famous for its brave monks. I heard that Shaolin martial arts style is prevalent, it emphasizes actual combat, never shows mercy to ghosts, and has a strong and tough style.

Relieved breathing smoothly and long, his eyes were alert and energetic, his exposed neck and forearm were tightly muscled, like a human-shaped beast. Even if he coated a monk's robe, he could not hide his male body that had been tempered all year round.

The monks practice diligently and were recognized by the temple to go down the mountain to practice. They subdued demons and demons along the way, and realized the Buddha's fate. They were traveling to monks.

In terms of realm, the strength of Buddhist monks who travel to Buddhism is similar to that of Taoist foundation-building monks, and is equivalent to that of Confucian Jinshi. They can be considered as entering the house and can act alone.

In the early days, most of the monks traveling were literary monks, and more of them guided people to be kind and educated demons with Buddhist principles. Later, Shaolin Temple broke the rules and sent monks to protect the temple to the world to eliminate demons. Other temples also gradually let monks go down the mountain. Now the monks have become symbols and synonyms for Buddhists to enter the world.

Relievingly frowned: "This seems a bit familiar, but I can't remember it for a while. I wonder if my friends know the origin?"

Wu Qi said truthfully: "The East Temple has been outside Shu County for a hundred years. The origin of the temple and the throne of worship are different, so it is really difficult to judge."

"I see."

Shu Ran looked at the statue again: "I will say goodbye and will not disturb fellow Taoists' practice."

He walked away as soon as he said, leaning on a Zen stick in his hand, walking on a dragon and tiger steps, and disappeared in the distance after a few breaths.

After being relieved completely disappeared, Wu Qicai summoned the bamboo demon.

"What has he done here?"

Xiao Zhang said, "The monk looked at the statue of the god for a while, and said something like Arhat Bodhisattva. Venerable, you will be here."

Wu Qi thought to himself that it seemed that the target of relief was the original body of the god statue, and he did not notice the bamboo demon.

Shaolin monks have a straightforward style. Once they find monsters, they will definitely confirm their identity and whether they have harmed people if they are in trouble.

"Honor, there are pilgrims."

Xiao Zhang reminded.

Wu Qi looked at the statue.

I saw a shadow indeed appear inside.

"Oh, I'm so fucked... Why did I meet you?"

The man sighed: "The fairy land that was clearly resurrected from the dead has become a troublesome thing. My mother, you are really embarrassed for your son..."

"All the gods, please be fine, tell me, what should I do now? I feel so uncomfortable in my heart. I'm afraid I'll go crazy after a while!"

Wu Qi sat down on the cushion and asked him: "Let me tell me."

"This, this... has appeared?" The other party was startled and his voice became stuttering: "The god... has it really appeared?"
