Chapter 10 Cultivation, Collecting Herbs and Encountering the Moon Demon
A Taoist priest is a seventh-grade immortal official, and his level and treatment are the same as those of a county magistrate.
The county arranged a quite luxurious and spacious house, with servants and maids to take care of the Taoist Priest's daily life.
The house is located in the east of the city, close to the county government office of ghosts and gods and the county God's temple. It is quiet in the bustle and has a very advantageous location.
Taoist Xu Ping, the immortal official in charge of the affairs of ghosts and gods in a county, is treated very well.
But it's a pity that the Taoist priest didn't have time to enjoy it, so Chu Chen and the little kid got the advantage.
After arriving in Xin'an County, the Taoist priest became busy.
He would leave early and come back late, often staying up late at night. Sometimes, he would simply leave the city to go to the countryside and not come back for several days.
"It seems that the world is indeed not peaceful. People, ghosts, demons and gods live together. It's too chaotic."
Chu Chen felt very lucky.
Fortunately, I met the Taoist priest that day, otherwise, even if I had a golden finger, I would not be able to escape my tragic fate.
Perhaps it was the shadow left by the unsatisfactory start of time travel, but Chu Chen was very interested in practicing.
...
It's night, the moon is bright, the stars are few, and the moonlight is beautiful.
Chu Chen fasted and took a bath. With the help of the little devil, he set up a altar in the clean room, placed armor, horses, wine, fruits and other objects, and lit cloud and crane incense.
"Little devil, is our sect's practice altar arranged like this? Is there any mistake? Can you recall?"
After Chu Chen was busy for a while, he asked the little Taoist boy who was looking up and down.
"It should be...that's right, that's what I remember."
The little kid is a little unsure. He has seen the master's practice altar many times, but he has never paid attention to it, so he can't remember so many details.
"Okay, there should be no problem. Master will lead you in. Cultivation depends on oneself. Cultivate immortality and start walking!"
Chu Chen clapped his hands, looking forward to it.
The Taoist priest assigned him practice lessons and asked him to recite the "Three Officials Sutra" frequently and become proficient in mantras such as the Mouth Purification Mantra and the Body Purification Mantra.
Chu Chen had already finished it.
But it is a pity that the new Taoist priest took office three times and was too busy to take care of his next step of practice.
He has the practice method of "Hunyuan Shaping", but he lacks the three spiritual talismans of Liudingliujia Talisman and Hunyuan Talisman, so he cannot practice it.
But fortunately, there is a little ghost boy.
When the little kid heard that there was a shortage of spiritual talismans, he quickly brought over three large stacks of spiritual talismans.
Neatly organized and divided into categories.
It is the Hunyuan Talisman, the Liuding Talisman, and the Liujia Talisman.
Taoist Master Xu Ping must use these three kinds of talismans in his practice of "Hunyuan Form Refining".
Unless the Taoist practice is profound, you can write talismans in the sky and you can enter practice at any time, then that is another matter.
"Here, senior brother, there are many talismans like this. When you use them up, just tell me and I'll get them..."
Chu Chen was stunned:
"You little devil, taking it without telling me... isn't that good?"
The kid shook his head indifferently:
"It's okay! Senior brother, these spiritual talismans were prepared for you. I have no need for spiritual talismans for a long time in my practice. I specially took the time to draw these spiritual talismans for you. I think I have been too busy these days and forgot to give them to you."
"Oh~"
Chu Chen understood and stopped being pretentious and took the talisman.
Quiet room altar.
Chu Chen used the incense of clouds and cranes rising from the altar as fire, and burned the Liudingliujia Talisman and Hunyuan Talisman.
The spiritual talisman turned into fire and formed talisman seals in the air.
Astonishingly, it is Liudingliujia and Hunyuan Talisman, floating in the air, quite magical.
Chu Chen stepped on the Gang and fought step by step. He formed the Thunder Seal with his left hand and the Sword Seal with his right hand. He sat cross-legged and meditated, concentrating and calming his breath.
First recite the mantra to calm the soul and soul, the mantra to cleanse the mouth and purify the body, and then recite the mantra to calm the earth, heaven and earth and remove the filth.
After reciting it, he recited the Hunyuan Mantra.
"The master of the whole body is Xin Yuanjun. On the left is Qinglong Gan Yuanjun. On the right is White Tiger Lung Yuanjun. In front is Suzaku Jian Yuanjun. Behind is Xuanwu Kong Yuanjun..."
"Everything in my heart has returned to its true state. I have become a god. I have cut off the roots of my karma. I have transcended the sky and crashed into the void. There are difficulties and things to protect. I have never changed as I wished..."
"I am taking pictures under the orders of Mr. Sanshan Jiuhou!"
This Hunyuan Mantra can be recited seven times.
After reciting the Hunyuan Mantra seven times, a magical scene happened.
But then, a piece of moonlight, as bright as silk and satin, flowed into the clean room like flowing water and draped over Chu Chen's body.
next moment,
Chu Chen only felt that his body had undergone strange changes.
Every part of the body seems to be born with thoughts, as if it has turned into countless little people, trying to open the door, ready to move.
"They" all have a simple idea - to eat.
Like a newborn baby, waiting to be fed.
The satin-like moonlight fell and gradually submerged into the limbs and bones. All of a sudden, the "Xin Yuanjun", "Liver Yuanjun" and "Mao Yuanjun" were satisfied. Each of them opened their mouths and devoured the moonlight crazily...
After the fleshly Yuan Lords swallowed the moonlight, each of the "little people" grew in size at a speed visible to the naked eye, showing a shimmering light, as if they were divine.
All kinds of strange phenomena were reflected back to Chu Chen, that is, his whole body was full of power.
Chu Chen had an intuition that he could blow up a cow with one punch.
This surprised and surprised him.
Is this the way to practice?
Just start practicing and you will see immediate results!
However, there was no surprise for him yet.
A sudden vision occurred.
The next moment, Chu Chen felt hot all over his body, and his whole body was about to explode.
The most important thing is that Chu Chen "saw" that all the Lu Yuanjun in the physical body were devouring Yuehua, eating and drinking, and after replenishing their energy and energy, they were struggling crazily one by one to break out of their bodies.
Countless pairs of small hands the size of soybeans were spread all over his body, densely packed, tearing at each other, as if they were trying to tear his whole body into pieces.
People often say that quartering a body with five horses is torture.
But right now, Chu Chen was experiencing torture that was a hundred times more terrifying and a thousand times worse.
His body is about to turn into tens of thousands of pieces. With just a "bang", it will turn into pieces and scatter all over the room.
Good guy!
I ran into a monster while practicing medicine gathering!
There is a "moon demon" hidden in this lunar energy, and the demonic thoughts "bewitched" all the Yuanjun in the physical body, causing him to practice walking on fire and become a demon.
When teaching the practice method, Taoist Master Xu Ping mentioned this.
At that time, neither the Taoist priest nor Chu Chen paid much attention.
According to what the Taoist priest said, it is basically impossible to attract "moon demons" when you first start practicing.
After all, Taoism is too shallow, and the "Moon Demon" and "Sun Demon" can't look down on this bit of mosquito meat.
Only when you have a certain Taoist practice and practice "picking herbs" will you attract "moon demons" and "sun demons".
Some highly skilled people, who are bold and profound, are happy to attract "monsters". After all, there are many benefits to refining "monsters".
For those with low moral standards, this is the so-called "obsession", which is extremely dangerous.
One bad thing is that the body dies, the Tao disappears, and both form and spirit are destroyed.
"Good guy! I'm so lucky. Why didn't I win the lottery in my last life?"
Chu Chen couldn't help but complain.
Of course, he did not mess around, but recited the "The Supreme Three Yuan Sutra of Blessings, Forgiving Sins, Eliminating Disasters, Prolonging Life and Preserving Life", reciting the mantra to calm the soul, the mantra to purify the mouth, and the mantra to calm the earth, heaven and earth.
Dirty curse.
This is the reason why the Taoist priest has repeatedly urged us to recite and study the "Three Officials Sutra" carefully.
Recite the "Three Officials Sutra" to protect the body and make evil spirits retreat.
Of course, it's just a chance.
After all, Chu Chen’s cultivation level was too low.
