Chapter 294: Taoist transformation, invitation to fight
After Yu Lie sat down, the preaching priest soon arrived, accompanied by a group of ghosts and gods who were watching and protecting the Dharma.
Today's sermon is no longer a sixth-grade Taoist priest like Shan Yangzi, but a seventh-grade Taoist official in the Taoist palace. Fortunately, he is also an old Taoist priest with many years of experience. He is only a few years away from breaking through and becoming a Taoist priest.
A layer of window paper.
Such figures are often more immersed in Taoism than those Taoist priests who have been promoted to the sixth level at a young age, especially for Taoist disciples.
The other party landed on the central stone pillar, looked around, and immediately began to speak:
"Today, Pindao, I plan to explain about Yin Shen and some things that happened after becoming a Taoist official, especially the story of Pindao. If you are interested, you can listen. If you are not interested, it is okay to take a nap."
The old Taoist official has white hair and looks like he is over a hundred years old, but his mentality is still very young and he knows how to joke with the Taoist disciples.
When Yu Lie and others heard that what he was about to explain turned out to be Yin Shen, even the Taoist disciples who paid the least attention to the sermons, their eyes instantly lit up, and everyone pricked up their ears to listen. Some people immediately took out their
I have my own cultivation notes and plan to take notes diligently.
The old Taoist official began to speak:
"Yin Shen, the condensed soul.
The realm of the seventh-level Taoist official is the same as that of the ninth-level and eighth-level Taoist officials. There are four changes in total, which are 'driving things into the secluded area', 'traveling by day and night', 'chasing the sun and chasing the wind', and 'leaving the ground and flying into the air'.
After you have completed the last change in the eighth-level realm, the change of 'returning essence and replenishing the brain', and after warming up your body for another year, you can start to try to get your soul out of the body. The specific breakthroughs include the following methods, which are...
…”
When the old Taoist explained the cultivation, he really revealed all the secrets that were not taught in the Taoist books in the world. He penetrated into it and explained whatever was involved, without hiding anything. How could Taoist disciples like the rest of the group, who were not very familiar with it, record these things?
Come down and send it back to the family, which will directly add a lot of heritage to the family.
After the other party finished talking about Yin Shen, he said again:
"It is said that the world of mountains and seas is vast, and there are hundreds of Taoist cities. Any fifth-grade Taoist master can build a city, and the area of a city is tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of miles. Every hundred years, there will be a choice among the thousands of Taoist cities.
One hundred and eight, the title is Immortal City, and there are 108 quotas for the Immortal Seed Golden Pill in the Immortal City.
Well, this matter is still far away from you. But after you become Taoist officials, you can follow the orders of the Taoist palace and go out of the city to patrol around, suppress the demons and ghosts in the areas outside the city, and kill Taoist thieves."
The old Taoist official said carefully: "Generally speaking, you only need to study within tens of thousands of miles of Qianzhou Daocheng. But I suggest reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles."
After you are promoted to Taoist officials, it is best to travel around the entire mountain and sea realm. You do not need to visit every Taoist city. However, you must see the four ends of the sea and the eight wastelands of the earth. Otherwise, you will not even be able to visit the area where you are.
We are familiar with it, but we are not clear about it. How will we explore foreign lands in the future? Moreover, within our mountain and sea realm, there are actually many ancient caves and exotic secret realms waiting for you to explore."
The other party sighed softly: "Also, Taoist officials, at this stage, the most important thing to seek is not to be an official and gain power, to exorcise ghosts and summon gods, but to seek 'principles'.
It is extremely important to find your own truth. If you practice hard and practice hard, there will always be something missing. It is better to walk more. Don't think that this thing is not important. It will often become the last step that blocks you.
That barrier.”
The old Taoist official had a dark look on his face, but looking at the more than 500 lively and energetic Taoist disciples in the audience, he smiled lightly, immediately calmed down, and began to explain what he had done after he was promoted to Taoist official.
Interesting things about traveling around the city.
Yu Lie and others sat cross-legged on the dais, listening to the old Taoist preaching. They were so mesmerized that they were immersed in it. From time to time, the scene became full of discussions and became very noisy.
The old Taoist official didn't care at all, he just listened happily to everyone's discussion. After finishing talking about the main business, he started to ramble again, which made Yu Lie and others feel even more wonderful:
"Pindao once had a friend who didn't like elixirs or magical instruments when he was on a study tour. He only loved the exquisite taste and beauty. He had a special book in his hand called 'Pictures of Extraordinary Colors'.
I excitedly asked for the picture when I got it, but I found out that although the objects recorded in the picture were all stunning, only one-third of them were of various races, either white, black, purple or green, which really shocked me.
Cleared the horizon.
The other third is only related to the human form...The last remaining third is only related to the female form. It is inhuman!"
This statement made everyone at the scene laugh in astonishment.
This sermon lasted for most of the day, until it was getting close to evening, and a ghost came forward to remind me.
The old Taoist official had a look of surprise on his face, and then he said:
"I almost forgot, today is also the day when you will go on stage to compete and determine your ranking. In this case, the sermon ends here, and you will perform a legal battle on your own in the forum."
He faced the ghosts and gods who came to protect the Dharma, raised his hands and said, "Fellow Taoists, please help me with your support."
More than five hundred Taoist disciples slowly recovered from the lecture. They quickly put away the books they had taken notes on, and their faces turned to expressions of eagerness to try, especially since they had already prepared for the mission of climbing a thousand Taoist disciples.
People on the list.
Yu Lie fell into it, but he didn't care. In the year and a half since he entered the Taoist Palace, he has never participated in such a fight.
Because Yu Lie was working at the Zi Zhu Nu Dao, the poisonous gas on the Purple Mountain could assist him in his cultivation. It was also free to obtain the antidote pills from the Zi Zhu Nu Dao. He still kept the D-level Dao Gong in his hand, for the time being.
There is no need to fight for fame, no need to do Taoist palace tasks, etc.
And this also caused the good ranking he originally obtained because of the name of "Tao Seed" to fall again and again, and he has fallen out of the ranks of thousands of people.
Coupled with the fact that he deliberately kept a low profile and never came out in the limelight, his reputation among Taoist disciples also gradually dissipated, being overshadowed by one after another new Taoist disciples who came to the limelight.
Fortunately, because he was once famous, and now he keeps a low profile and doesn't cause trouble, he has no competition with the big guys, so no one comes to provoke him.
This time, Yu Lie plans to remain a bystander in the competition for ranking.
He recalled the content of the old Taoist's sermon and put away his notes. He stood up and was about to step back outside to make room for other Taoist disciples. He only wanted to watch.
But suddenly, a figure appeared in front of Yu Lie. The figure was tall, a whole head taller than Yu Lie, and stood in front of Yu Lie, looking down at him.
The man slightly cupped his hands and said: "Brother Yu, today is a meeting. I would like to ask Brother Yu for some advice and a favor from Brother Yu."
The other party's voice was cold and sounded a bit strong. He also had an iron sword on his back and a strong figure. Yu Lie looked over and his eyes fell on the other party's chest.
Yu Lie was surprised and did not react for a moment. His eyes moved slowly, which made the other party frown.
Because the Taoist disciple who stopped Yu Lie and wanted to fight him was none other than Tie Jianlan, who won the first place in the palace entrance examination. She was a female Taoist who was good at swordsmanship.
For more than a year, the opponent has always been ranked first in terms of tasks and fighting skills, and he is currently the only one among the group of Taoist disciples on the scene who has been listed in the thousand-person list.
Whether it is in the eyes of many Taoist disciples or some lecturers, it should be a certainty that this woman will break through to the seventh level before the age of thirty-five.
Gu Xuecheng, who had deceived her in the past, had repeatedly flirted with her in the past year and a half, but he had not been able to suppress Tie Jianlan, whether he had done it himself or hired foreign aid.
During the last lecture on martial arts, Gu Xuecheng had half of his leg cut off by Tie Jianlan's sword. Thanks to the palace's exquisite magic, he was able to take it back without any hindrance, without damaging his foundation. But this was not the case.
This delayed Gu Xuecheng's cultivation for several months.
Yu Lie thought of Gu Xuecheng's tragic situation and immediately shook his head apologetically: "No, no, there are risks in fighting. I'd better forget it if I'm a poor Taoist. Railway friends can just find other Taoist friends to communicate with each other."
He cupped his hands and tried to avoid Tie Jianlan.
The conversation between the two attracted many people's attention because of Tie Jianlan.
Many people were surprised and said: "What are you doing with fellow railway fellows asking Fellow Daoist Yu? Fellow Daoist Yu has never gone on stage to fight."
"Exactly. Except for the first class, Yu made some limelight, and then became unknown. I heard that this person was in his elixir shop all day long, and he also hired two beauties from outside the palace.
, not to mention how carefree you are."
The commentators were either disparaging or neutral:
"It's true that I haven't seen Fellow Daoist Yu take action yet. But even if Fellow Daoist Yu has abandoned his fighting skills, his magic power must still be among the best in the field. Don't talk nonsense between you and me."
When Tie Jianlan herself was rejected by Yu Lie, her brows furrowed even more and she called out to Yu Lie:
"Does Brother Yu need to bet something before he is willing to have sex with Tie? It was Tie who took the initiative to invite me today, and Brother Yu said it's okay."
When Yu Lie heard this, he paused and immediately explained: "Railway fellows are just joking. Yu has never been combative in his life. He is really not good at fighting. Railroad fellows, please don't misunderstand me!"
Unexpectedly, when Tie Jianlan heard this, she said: "Fellow Daoist Yu, please don't try to trick me! Among all the people in the room, you are the only one who can fight with me, brother Yu."
The other party handed over his hand again and said decisively:
"Brother Yu, don't worry. If Tie wins, he will have nothing to ask for. But if Tie loses, he will be dealt with and given orders without any hesitation!"
Yu Lie looked at the other party in surprise, and thoughts suddenly came to his mind.
From what the other party said, it seems that there is absolutely no harm in practicing fighting with this woman.
But Yu Lie still calmed down and said to himself: "Since I have decided to only practice Qi and not even magic within five years, it is better not to break the plan.
And if you agree to do it this time, no matter whether you win or lose, it will lead to other fights in the future, and it will be difficult to refuse and it will be easy to offend others."
While he was thinking, other Taoist disciples who wanted to watch the show were shouting: "Brother Yu, agree!"
"Fellow Taoist Yu, fellow railway Taoist, you two are the only two people of my generation who have been on the 'Thousand People List'. You must let your brothers learn about it!"
Among them was Gu Xuecheng, who secretly touched his right leg and his eyes suddenly flashed. He actually cast a spell, changing the voices of men and women, and shouted in the crowd:
"Yu, you are still not a man!"
"Sister Tie, Yu Lie looks down on you, so don't let him go."
Such a messy scene also attracted the attention of the old officials who preached and the guardian ghosts and gods. They also talked among themselves: "Who is this boy?"
The Taoist officials, ghosts and gods were still smiling: "The appearance of the little Taoist disciple is a sign that Iron Girl may have taken a fancy to her and wants to force her."
Yu Lie was in a noisy environment with a calm expression. He apologetically held his hand towards Tie Jianlan:
"I'm sorry, my railway friend is looking for someone else. I still have something I need to consult with my seniors."
After saying this, Yu Lie immediately dodged his body and squeezed out of the crowd, no longer chatting with Tie Jianlan.
His behavior disappointed everyone and immediately provoked a burst of boos.
Several ghosts and gods who wanted to watch the show also shook their heads in disappointment.
Tie Jianlan frowned as she looked at Yu Lie's leaving figure. She had something to say, but she snorted coldly and swallowed it.
The woman secretly thought in her heart: "That's all. Since this kid doesn't appreciate it, just let him be a nerd. Sooner or later he will regret it."
Speaking of which, the reason why Tie Jianlan approached Yu Lie today was that she had completely dominated the group of Taoist disciples and had no rivals.
On the other hand, it was also because she recently heard a piece of news and discovered that every ten years in the palace, all Taoist disciples under the age of thirty-five would be sent out to the outer city, where they would conduct fighting exercises in batches, fight against each other, and provide them with supplies.
, and sometimes they are sent to foreign secret realms to train everyone.
And this group of people happened to be in the middle. The next time would be three years later. Tie Jianlan wanted to stimulate Yu Lie so that he could repay Yu Lie's "one word of kindness" and remind him.
Who knew she was so sincere, but Yu Lie still avoided fighting.
Thinking of this, Tie Jianlan also showed a look of hatred in her eyes: "There is a difference between the palace and the outside! If you don't fight with others and innovate from time to time, just relying on your methods and experience during the palace examination,
You will suffer a big loss then.”
After Yu Lie left, he didn't look back at the woman again.
He ran directly to the old official who was preaching, intending to exchange the secret technique and leave, so as not to be entangled again.
The old official was communicating with several ghosts and gods using his spiritual consciousness, and he also learned about Yu Lie's identity and his "Tao Zhong" title a year and a half ago.
The other party saw Yu Lie coming to avoid fighting, and thought: "This boy was originally called 'Tao Zhong' by the Taoist priest, which shows that he has considerable understanding and potential. I will try to persuade him to prevent him from neglecting his experience in fighting and suffering a loss in the future.
He even lost his life."
This person actually planned to persuade Yu Lie and let him practice fighting.
But when Yu Lie walked up to him and bowed respectfully: "Disciple Yu Lie, I have met the Taoist Master." After transmitting the message to him, the old Taoist official was startled and did not speak out the words.
Because Yu Lie secretly conveyed the message, "I dare to ask, Master, do you have the secret method or secret recipe in your hand to complete the transformation of 'the heart has seven orifices'? I want to ask for it, go back and think about it in advance."
The old official pondered, and he immediately released his spiritual consciousness and landed on Yu Lie's body. He wanted to see Yu Lie's depth, but in the end he could not see through Yu Lie's specific cultivation level.
This situation made the old official pull his beard.
The other party looked at Yu Lie's bright eyes and confirmed even more: "The divine light in this child's eyes is so strong that he must be very human! He came to me today to ask about the secret method of transformation. It was by no means that he wanted to prepare early, but that he was already prepared.
All we need is the secret method to transform!"
The old official couldn't help but look at the lively booing Taoist disciples in the field, and smiled on his face.
This man did not speak directly, but also transmitted a message to Yu Lie's ears, saying gently:
"Yes. There are three secret techniques here, Pindao. Which one do you want?"
