"My teacher is a divine messenger taught by Laojun, so he naturally has a wonderful method of immortality. However, this method is a supreme method, and it cannot be taught to anyone who is not a real official or higher than the real official of my teaching."
"What is the real official?" Yan Shi had always been pure in heart and had few desires. Now that he heard about the method of immortality, he couldn't help but ask.
"My master calls himself the Celestial Master, the only divine envoy in the world. Below the Celestial Masters are: the first is the Yin Yang Taiguan; the second is the Zhengfu Zhenguan; the third is the Zhengfang Zhenguan; the fourth is the Sugong Sanguan; the fifth is the Sugong Sanguan;
They are called Bingjinlu Lord. Their clothes and clothes are different. For example, the believer behind me is temporarily listed as Bingjinlu Lord."
When Zhang Bu behind him heard this, he raised his left palm in front of him, curled his index finger inward, and bowed to signal to the two of them.
Xu Hua saw that Zhang Bu had finished signaling to the two of them, and then continued: "It is a big fallacy to talk about fate without talking about contribution in the three fake laws; it is also a big fallacy to treat master, apprentice, and brother without distinction of rank. My master
There are hundreds of disciples under him, but the disciples are not divided according to the order of entry, but according to their contribution to the Tianshi Sect. Take this Tanbu for example (Zhangbu's mother's surname is Tan, he changed his name to Tanbu
), he has already passed the test and become a Bingjin master after being initiated for less than a year. However, some fellow Taoists who have been in the religion for several years are not allowed to become Bingjin masters."
When Li Xiang and Yan Shi heard this, they already understood in their hearts that even if Tianshijiao had the art of immortality, it was not accessible to ordinary believers.
Yan Shi glanced at Li Xiang, and then continued to ask Xu Hua: "With such a status as a monarch, what status will you take after joining the religion? I heard that in the late Shang Dynasty, the Shu merchant cavalry general Ma Chao defected to Zhang Lu from Liangzhou.
Immediately, he was given the title of "Jietou Dajiu".
"My Celestial Master does not look at the actual identity when joining the religion, only the identity within the religion. It is different from those three fake laws." Xu Hua stroked his beard and said, seeing a slightly disappointed look on the two people's faces, he added: "But still
As Xu said just now, those who want to improve their status within the Celestial Master Sect will be divided according to their contribution. With the status of General Zhendong and so many subordinates under his command, as long as General Zhendong joins our Celestial Master Sect, then he will be
He has made a great contribution to our Celestial Master Sect. If we can further recruit so many subordinates to our Celestial Master Sect, the contribution will be unparalleled. The specific contribution is how great and what position he should occupy, because there has been no precedent before.
, Xu dare not make false claims, “This needs to be defined by my division. But based on Xu’s own estimation, the general’s contribution should be greater than that of Xu.”
Yan Shi and Li Xiang looked at each other again and said again: "We are remote people in Qinzhou and have never seen the magic of the immortal family. I wonder if the immortal master can show it to my prince today?"
"Hahahahaha," Xu Hua laughed and said, "This is easy! Tanbu, go get a bowl and go outside to bring in some soil."
Zhang Bu responded in his mouth, turned around and walked out. In a moment, he came back with an ordinary porcelain bowl in his hand filled with half a bowl of soil.
Xu Hua took the bowl, stood up and came to Li Xiang and Yan Shi, letting them take a closer look. The soil was obviously just caught from outside. Yan Shi was careful and glanced at Zhang Bu's
There was still a little bit of soil on their hands. The two nodded, knowing that this was just half a bowl of ordinary soil.
Xu Hua looked at the expressions of the two of them, smiled slightly, dug his right hand into his sleeve, and opened his palm. There were several seeds in his palm. Then he watched him sprinkle the seeds into the bowl, still letting the two of them see clearly.
"Next, it's time to witness the miracle!" Xu Hua's voice was not loud, but his voice was full of strong confidence that could not be denied.
He was holding the bowl in his left hand, and his right hand was flexing over the bowl, with his five fingers moving up and down in a very rhythmic rhythm, mumbling words. Li Xiang and Yan Shi stared at the soil in the bowl, not daring to blink at all.
Suddenly, a little bit of tender green began to emerge in the soil. The tender green became bigger and bigger, and taller and taller. In a blink of an eye, the buds broke out of the soil and began to turn into leaves, one piece, two pieces, Even five or six tablets (Note 1).
"What a wonderful skill from the real immortal family!" Li Xiang and Yan Shi looked at each other and saw the unconcealed look of horror in each other's eyes, and couldn't help but exclaimed loudly.
Zhang Bu stood behind Xu Hua, looking at the different expressions of the three people, he couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth.
Xu Hua's Kung Fu was originally invented by Zhang Bu. He had performed such wonderful skills many times in front of the Qiang people. Every time, the barbarians were astonished. Many Qiang people even knelt down in front of him on the spot and said, He is even called the Immortal Master.
How Zhang Bu became a Taoist missionary of the Tianshi Sect is a long story.
That night, Zhang Bu took Shen Hui's family and his own family as a business trip to say goodbye to Shen Xiu and left Shangluo. Within a few days of leaving, he heard the news that Shen Xiu had been killed and King Zhao had been arrested. The whole group was immediately panicked. Zhang Bu and Shen Hui naturally understood that if Shen Xiu fell, they would definitely be wanted. Fortunately, Shen Xiu had anticipated this situation and had made a fake face for each of them, and had already changed their identities. Okay. But even so, as soon as their group passed through Wugong County, some of the slaves who were accompanying them secretly went to complain to the officials, and brought about a hundred people to arrest them overnight.
Zhang Bu relied on his strong martial arts skills to fight his way through the night and escape alone. He didn't care about Shen Hui at all, and he didn't even bring his wife out.
From the glorious captain Zhangbu of Shangluo to a homeless vagabond, the arrogant Zhangbu wandered aimlessly like a lonely ghost for a while. He had no place to stay and no one to live with. People can take refuge. It was almost universally known that he followed Shen Xiu to kill the King of Huainan, and no one dared to take him in.
Later, he met a team of refugees, and he joined them, doing all kinds of hard work every day. Farming, hunting, patrolling, chopping firewood, herding, etc. for others. As a person with no family at all, he Doing the hardest work and eating the worst food. He didn't dare to show off his cultivation. He was afraid of being discovered by others. He even thought about committing suicide, but when it came to that moment, he missed this person so much. world.
Finally one day, he met Xu Hua, who came to Hanzhong to preach.
glutinous rice
He didn't believe what Xu Hua said from the beginning, but when everyone was hesitating, he was the first to stand up and say that he wanted to join the Tianshi Sect. So, naturally, he was taken care of by Xu Hua. He concealed his identity from Xu Hua, and only lied that he was a young man in Shen Xiu's house. Everyone in Shen Xiu's family died, and Zhang Bu believed that Xu Hua would never expose his lie in his lifetime.
Because Zhang Bu knew how to read and had good cultivation skills, after joining the Tianshi Sect, he quickly became one of the key training targets in the sect.
Originally, Zhangbu's purpose of joining the Tianshi Sect was very simple, hoping that the Tianshi Sect could help him change his identity. Although he was in such a state of decline, he still firmly believed that he could make a comeback in the future. But when he went to Qingcheng Mountain as a key training disciple
Later, after seeing various things in the Tianshi Sect, his mind changed again.
He still didn't believe Xu Hua or even Fan Changsheng, who claimed to be a "Celestial Master" at all. What kind of creator, what kind of divine messenger, what kind of Supreme Laojun. He could never forget Shen Xiu's words in his heart: In this world, if
If gods really have retribution, then I, Shen Xiu, should have been struck by lightning countless times.
Maybe there really are gods in this world, but gods are so busy, how can they have time to care about their own trivial matters?
My destiny is up to me and I cannot control it, this is what Zhang Bu thinks deep in his heart.
The believers in Tianshi Sect do not distinguish between different grades of monks, but Zhang Bu found that even at his age, many people's spiritual power was much purer than that of him who practiced diligently. He had stayed in the mountain for a long time.
, and Zhang Bu's performance was really hard-working and outstanding, and slowly he came to know the reason. First, the qi-refining method taught by Fan Tianshi was amazing, and second, Tianshi taught the secret of dual cultivation for men and women.
Every monk has spiritual veins in his body, and there are acupuncture points on the spiritual veins. If you want to make your spiritual power pure, you must constantly refine the acupoints on the spiritual veins so that it can filter out as many impurities as possible. But every time
A person's energy is limited, and his spiritual power is limited. In response to this situation, Fan Tianshi asked some male believers to practice some acupuncture points, and asked female believers to practice the other part. Then, through the technique of dual cultivation, the spiritual power can be divided into two parts.
It travels through the spiritual veins in an individual's body to achieve the effect of one plus one being greater than two.
This made Zhang Bu very excited.
Power and cultivation are what Zhang Bu strives for. Looking at Xu Hua, who is already in his sixties but still looks like he is in his forties, and looking at those teachers who are even older than Xu Hua, but still have rosy faces and are walking as fast as flying.
Zhang Bu, who was originally not interested in the Celestial Master Sect at all, could not help but secretly become cruel and vowed to climb up to the rank of a casual official in the Su Palace within the sect as soon as possible. Only when he reaches the rank of a casual official in the Su Palace, the sect will designate the corresponding dual cultivators for him.
Only when the partner becomes a couple will they be taught a few magical techniques about refining Qi.
What attracted the attention of Xu Hua and even the higher-ups in the church was that since Zhang Bu began to travel around to attract believers, the number of believers in the areas where he preached has grown particularly fast. At first, many people thought it was a coincidence, but after trying
After moving Zhang Bu to several places, he found that the situation was the same. Everyone knew that Tan Bu, who had recently joined the Tianshi Sect, must have his own uniqueness.
Under Xu Hua's personal questioning, Zhang Bu confessed his preaching methods. He never told the people he preached about the creation of the world by the Creator, because he himself did not believe it at all. He always taught these things when he went up.
People show off the so-called "miracles" they have invented, such as "immortals picking beans" and "transforming people into living beings", plus some basic medical knowledge he learned during training, which allows him to preach
There is no disadvantage in getting up.
Xu Hua was stunned by these words.
Because since he followed his father and worshiped Fan Changsheng as a heavenly master, Fan Changsheng always emphasized to them the key points of preaching: atonement, not lying, equality among believers, dedication and fraternity.
Ah. But according to the words taught by Fan Tianshi, Xu Hua has been preaching for decades, and he has actually gained a lot, which is far less than Zhang Bu's rate of absorbing believers.
Xu Hua immediately reported this matter to Fan Changsheng. To Xu Hua's surprise, Fan Changsheng didn't say anything after listening to Zhang Bu's method. He just said one sentence: "Enter Tan Bu and enter the records together."
The preaching techniques used by Lord Tambu are only known to you and him, and do not tell others."
What Xu Hua didn't know was that after he left respectfully, Master Fan Datian said to himself in a very low voice: "After traveling through time for so many years, did I finally meet another time traveler?"
"Father, I am determined that I do not agree to the conditions they proposed." After Xu Hua and Zhang Bu left, Li Xiang first summoned his family to discuss it. After hearing the conditions stated by Zhang Bu, his eldest son Li Dang said:
He was furious and immediately objected: "What kind of thing is their Celestial Master Sect? They want you, father, to be baptized into the religion in public. What's the point? Doesn't this make you, father, their subordinate?"
Are you here? Tens of thousands of us refugees have gone through successive battles, so many people have died, and so much blood has been shed, that we have reached today’s situation. His Celestial Master wants to ride on your father’s head with all his words. This is
How can there be such a good thing in the world? What kind of immortal masters are there? In my opinion, they are all a bunch of charlatans."
After hearing Li Dang's words, Li Xiang's face did not change at all. He glanced at the people working on both sides and asked a handsome young man about twenty-six or seventeen years old: "Xiong'er, what are you doing?"
watch?"
This Li Xiong is Li Xiang's second son. He is usually modest and cautious and doesn't like to speak loudly. However, every time he encounters a major event, he can always give out suggestions that satisfy Li Xiang.
"What the elder brother just said is correct." Li Xiong looked at everyone looking at him and slowly said: "Let's not talk about who is the master and who is the slave. That will happen later. The top priority now is, I think.
To break the severe situation we are facing now."
When Li Xiong said this, not to mention other people, even Li Dang, who was usually impatient, began to think thoughtfully.
"Now we and Liang Yizhou are in an anxious state. Whoever can break this situation first will win the initiative in the next stage. Just now, my father said that Tianshi Jiaoyi can provide us with the urgent needs
Secondly, Tan Buhao said that there is a route to capture Wenshan County."
"Wenshan County is located in the mountains, what's the benefit of taking Wenshan County?" Li Dang frowned and questioned aloud.
"Although Wenshan County is a remote and remote area, there are nearly 20,000 households." Li Xiong continued to speak clearly in the face of his elder brother's doubts: "And these 20,000 households have been almost military households since ancient times. In the end,
He is good at conquering and fighting. Not only that, there are many Qiang people in Wenshan County. According to his father, Na Tanbu said that nine out of ten Qiang tribes in Wenshan County believe in their Tianshi religion. That’s why he dared to say that there are a thousand
Wenshan County can be taken with just a few troops."
"Although Wenshan County does not produce much grain, taking Wenshan County is the first step for us to break the situation. First, through victory, the morale of our refugee army will be more stable, and second, we can obtain a new force. So.
The living conditions of the Qiang people and the military households in Wenshan County, as long as we give Jian Shuo and them the same conditions as Deyang County, we don’t have to worry about them not contributing to us. Back then, the first Lord of Shu merchants besieged CD for nearly a year, and finally became the oppressor.
Wasn't the last straw that broke the city of CD because Ma Chao defected to the First Lord of Shu Shang?"
