Chapter 137 Obtaining the Dharma in the Observatory of Stars and Enlightenment in the Red Dust
Chapter 137 Obtaining the Dharma in the Star Observation Tower and Enlightening the Dao in the Red Dust
The crimson rooster announces the dawn, and the green clouds and fur are revealed before the clothes are still on.
The nine heavens closed the palace, and all the nations wore clothes and bowed their heads.
After getting off the Tianlu, Jiang Xuan's eyes couldn't help but be lost in thought for a moment as he looked around Bai Yujing, who was bustling with people in the early morning.
"If those poets in ancient times whose literature had been passed down through the ages were alive today, how many more eternal poems and essays would there be about Bai Yujing?"
With emotion in his heart, Jiang Xuan kept his hands on the horse, patted the horse's neck, and then set off on the road.
In addition to the "Heaven Road", which is a three-foot-long expressway, Yujing City also has "Chi Road" and "Human Road".
Chilu is the road for monks, warriors, and soldiers to run on, while humanity is the road for mortals to drive on.
There is a huge gap between extraordinary beings and mortals. Even the occasional strong wind caused by running around is almost like a natural disaster to mortals.
In order to protect ordinary people and distinguish the boundaries between ordinary people and extraordinary people, Chilu and Humanity appeared.
Of course, only Emperor Chongzhen, who originally built the Jade Capital City, knew whether it had the intention of motivating ordinary people to practice Taoism or martial arts.
After half a stick of incense was galloping, Jiang Xuan patted the right side of Yu Chi's neck when he saw a tall building.
The next moment, Yu Chi turned down the right side of Chi Road and entered a slightly deserted street.
The street name is Qianxing, and there are 1,825 houses, all of which are the residences of Shenxiao sect members.
That's right, Jiang Xuan thought about it on the way and finally decided to go to the Star Observation Tower to pay homage to his ancestor.
In this era, a school is actually almost like a family.
A master is roughly equivalent to a father, a master's disciples are roughly equivalent to brothers, a master's uncle is equivalent to a cousin, a master's uncle is equivalent to a cousin, the disciples of a master's uncle are cousins, and other members of the master's family are equivalent to cousins.
There may be some turmoil in the sect, but the overall environment is still supportive of each other and consistent with the outside world.
Especially for sects like the Shenxiao Sect, mutual help is a rule engraved in their bones.
Of course, the above statement only applies to the right path.
Now that Jiang Xuan has arrived in Bai Yujing, the first stop he went to Wanling City can be said to be a young and playful one, but after going to Wanling City, he then went to Liyuan, and finally thought of the Star Observation Tower, which is a bit unreasonable.
That's why he got off Tianlu and went straight to Qianxing Street where the Star Observation Tower is located.
After entering Qianxing Street, he looked down and saw that he was wearing a Confucian robe. Jiang Xuan scratched his head and then went back outside the street to find an inn and change his clothes.
After a while, a handsome young man wearing a purple Shenxiao Taoist robe, riding a mighty tiger, and teasing a fat white fox in his hand left the inn with the innkeeper nodding and bowing, and walked all the way into Xingchen Street.
After entering the street, he was about to say hello to two fellow disciples who were talking at the street corner, but before Jiang Xuan could raise his hand, he disappeared on the street in an instant.
"Senior Brother Qian, did a fellow student come in just now?"
The monk Shenxiao, who was called Senior Brother Qian, nodded:
"I also saw it. The man seemed to be riding a tiger and holding a fat fox."
"Senior brother, why do I feel like he just wanted to say hello to us?"
"I saw it too, he raised his hands."
After the words fell, the two of them looked at each other, then stopped talking, said goodbye to each other and returned to their homes.
Jiang Xuan raised his hand halfway when he noticed that the surrounding scenery changed drastically. He was stunned for a moment before bowing and clasping his fists, and saluted the Taoist sitting cross-legged on the futon in the quiet room:
"Disciple Daoxuan, pay homage to Master Jiuquan's uncle."
Jiuquan, whose full name is Dai Jiuquan, whose original name is Dai Xing, is the fiftieth generation disciple of the Shenxiao sect with the courtesy name Du, Junior Brother Wei Ming, Uncle Ye Jing, and Grand Uncle Jiang Xuan.
His realm is the same as Wei Ming, and he is also a true king of the supernatural power realm.
Logically speaking, Jiang Xuan should call him his great uncle, Master Duxing.
But people say that nothing in this world is perfect, so it’s okay to be perfect, right?
So he gave himself the nickname Jiuquan and asked others to call him the same.
That's why Jiang Xuan called him Jiuquanshi's uncle.
Upon hearing this, Dai Jiuquan opened his eyes and looked up and down at Jiang Xuan, who was bowing, and then paused for a moment on the fat little fox, then waved his sleeves and helped Jiang Xuan up.
"How is the capital? How is the world?"
Recalling the scenes he saw on the road, Jiang Xuan thought for a while and then said:
"The capital is good, but I always feel like something is wrong."
"The evil spirits are raging outside, but the Zhu family of the dynasty controlled so many troops. How could they allow the evil spirits to rag inside the Ming Dynasty?"
"Isn't it the ancestral motto of the Zhu family that the king dies in Sheji and the emperor guards the country? This has been the case in the Ming Dynasty. They won't join forces with Tianshi Dao to build a Sheji temple, right?"
Upon hearing this, Dai Jiuquan looked at Jiang Xuan strangely, obviously not expecting him to say these words.
He just wanted to hear Jiang Xuan comment on the difference between Yujing City and the outside world. Why did he blame the Zhu family?
"This is not your concern."
"I'm just asking you how is Yujing City? Why are you talking to me about what you have and what you don't have?"
Jiang Xuan smiled awkwardly when he heard this, and then took out the jade slip given to him by Kuilin:
"Uncle Master, this is the "Mengtou Technique" that my disciple got from an evil cultivator yesterday. Please see if he left any behind-the-scenes tricks in it."
Dai Jiuquan was stunned again when he heard this, and then silently took the jade slip from Jiang Xuan.
After a while, he returned the jade slip to Jiang Xuan, "That evil cultivator is quite sensible and has no backup plan. You can just understand it."
Having said this, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something else, but when he thought about his senior disciple, his disciple, who had mastered the "Tai Chi Heart Sutra" and entered Taoism one year ago, and was promoted from the Taoist realm to the innate realm in September, he felt a little autistic.
This talent is really scary.
So the words he originally wanted to remind people not to forget in practice turned out to be something else:
"There are also some inheritances of the seventy-two earth evil techniques in the sect. Which one do you want to learn?"
Jiang Xuan's eyes lit up when he heard this:
"Is there any "Sword Art"?"
Speaking of Chinese young men, who has never dreamed of riding a horse across the world with a sword, and lighting up nineteen states with one sword?
Jiang Xuan thought the same thing. When he heard that he could choose inheritance, he immediately thought of "Sword Art".
But what disappointed him was that Dai Jiuquan shook his head, "No."
"Are there any techniques like "Control the Wind", "Earth Movement", "Walk on Water", and "Send the Stick"?"
"nor."
"Is there any technique for "Daoyin", "Nongwan" and "Dengchao"?"
"still none."
Jiang Xuan was silent.
There is nothing he wants.
It seems that my family’s inheritance of magical powers is not complete.
Thinking about it, Shenxiao's thunder method is invincible, and it would take a lifetime to study just one thunder method. In this case, there is naturally less need for other magical powers.
Seeing Jiang Xuan's silence, Dai Jiuquan opened his mouth and said:
"The mountain gate now has nine earthly evil magical powers, namely "opening to the secluded area", "sitting on the fire", "entering the water", "covering the sun", "swallowing the knife", "pot sky", "chasing the soul", "capturing the soul", and "
Stars》.”
"By the way, it seems that your kid figured out "Star Number" from the Youying Ancient Tree. You don't even need to teach it from us."
"There are eight remaining earth evil magical powers, which one do you want to learn?"
Jiang Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard the earth evil magical power coming out of Dai Jiuquan's mouth:
"Master, can the art of "Tongyou" really allow people to see into the underworld and hell?"
Dai Jiuquan nodded, "Okay."
"Hades and Hell are actually just a larger underworld, nothing special."
"However, although there is no Yama Ksitigarbha among them, there are quite a few Yin-attributed spiritual beings in them."
Jiang Xuan nodded, and then said, "In that case, this disciple must learn the "Hu Tian" technique."
What is Hutian?
The universe is big in the sleeve, and the sun and moon are long in the pot, which is the pot sky.
After learning the "Hutian Technique", you can open up a space or a cave in the void and collect the mustard seeds.
In Jiang Xuan's opinion, although "Hutian Technique" is an Earthly Evil Technique, its power is no worse than that of Tiangang Technique.
The legendary Lord of Earthly Immortals Zhen Yuanzi's "The Universe in His Sleeves" was derived from the "Hutian Technique" that he cultivated to the extreme.
Jiang Xuan didn't ask about "Hu Tian Shu" before, so he subconsciously forgot about it.
After all, this thing has some supermodels, and he didn't expect that his family would have such a heritage.
Dai Jiuquan was surprised when he heard Jiang Xuan's choice, "I thought you would say that you want to learn everything."
Jiang Xuan was stunned, "Can you still learn them all?"
"why not?"
The old god Dai Jiuquan said:
"If it were others, I would be afraid that their practice of magic would delay the improvement of their cultivation realm."
"But you kid, I really don't worry about you at all."
"If I read it correctly, your technique can already operate on its own, right?"
Jiang Xuan nodded.
Apart from the fundamental things, there really is nothing to hide from these elders.
When Dai Jiuquan saw Jiang Xuan nodding, he couldn't help showing a look of emotion:
"It was ten years after I entered Taoism that I cultivated the technique to the point where it can operate on its own."
"You kid, your understanding is really outrageous."
With a sigh, he took out a jade slip:
"This is the inheritance jade slip of "Hu Tian Shu". Since you said you wanted "Hu Tian Shu", then I will only give you "Hu Tian Shu"."
"We will talk about other Earthly Evil magical powers after you have mastered the "Hutian Technique"."
Reaching out to take the jade slip, Jiang Xuan immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Master, Uncle, for giving me the Dharma."
After saying this, he changed his tone and said:
"Uncle Master, I want to buy some spiritual beasts in the capital, but I am short of some treasure money."
"Don't you already have a lot of spiritual beasts on your bamboo mountain? Do you still want to raise them?"
Jiang Xuan nodded, "I still need to raise it."
"This disciple wants to collect twenty-eight constellations and use spiritual beasts to set up the "Four Symbols and Constellations Formation"."
"Now we have gathered Kang Jinlong, Ditu raccoon dog, Fangri rabbit, Xinyue fox, Tailfire tiger, Xingri horse, Loujin dog, Niu Jinniu and Xuri rat Jiusu. Thinking about the prosperity of the capital, maybe we can
Gather together the remaining stars."
After speaking, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face.
Why do you feel that Minato Xingxiu is similar to the collection of cards in this life?
"If you want to raise the Twenty-Eight Constellations, you will need a lot of resources."
"There are a lot of resources in the mountain gate. Although I like you, I won't help you cultivate the Twenty-Eight Constellations."
Jiang Xuan heard this and said it was not a big problem:
"Uncle Master, the Fifth Battalion Army gave disciples some methods of raising spiritual birds and spiritual birds before. Now those spiritual birds have begun to breed, so there is no shortage of spiritual and flesh disciples."
"In addition, when I was traveling, I accidentally entered Gancun. Mr. Gu of the Lianshan clan in Gancun gave me spiritual grain seeds from 10,000 acres of land as a gift, as well as methods for growing the spiritual grains."
"So there is no shortage of spiritual food disciples."
"There will be no shortage of spiritual objects and spiritual beasts in the future. In addition, there will be formations to absorb the power of the stars and turn them into spiritual energy. The disciples should be able to raise twenty-eight stars."
Dai Jiuquan's eyes widened when he heard this, "Did Mr. Gu give you the grain spirit seeds?"
Hearing the words that came out of Dai Jiuquan's mouth, Jiang Xuan thought a lot at once. Finally, he suppressed these thoughts one by one, then nodded and said, "Yes."
"I wonder if the master can ask for seeds and planting methods?"
Dai Jiuquan pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head, "Since Mr. Gu gave it to you, then you can plant it yourself."
Seeing Dai Jiuquan's appearance, Jiang Xuan thought for a while and said, "The disciple gave the spiritual grain seeds to a disciple of the sect before."
"The disciple is now the guard of the Taoist temple in Yujiang Town, Linjiang County, Beihe Prefecture. It shouldn't matter if the disciple gives the seeds to him, right?"
"It doesn't matter if you give less. Just don't give random things in the future."
After saying this, Dai Jiuquan took out another storage ring and gave it to Jiang Xuan:
"There are one billion worth of treasures in the ring. If it's not enough, I'll ask my uncle for more."
"Other than that, don't just buy the Twenty-Eight Constellations. You can buy spiritual beasts and spiritual plants with good foundation."
"If you want to lay out the "Four Symbols and Constellations Formation", you can only lay it out with just twenty-eight constellations."
After chattering for a long time, Dai Jiuquan finally gave Jiang Xuan a piece of road guidance, and then waved his hand and sent Jiang Xuan out of Qianxing Street.
Standing on the sidewalk with people coming and going, he was stunned when Dai Jiuquan's voice transmission reached Jiang Xuan's ears:
"The black markets and other places have been marked out for you. You can buy whatever you want. If you practice the "Tai Chi Heart Sutra" and have the ability to observe spiritual objects, you can also go to the Strange Object Building to have a look."
"When you run out of treasure notes, come to your uncle and ask for them. Uncle Master doesn't have much else, he just has a lot of treasure notes."
Hearing the sound coming from his ears and tightening the storage ring in his hand, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but feel a little absent-minded.
"Is this the simple and heroic life of the big sect?"
"Love it, love it."
With a few words of emotion, Jiang Xuan immediately looked at the crowd of people who took the initiative to stay three meters away from him after he appeared, shook his head and called Yu Chi out of the demon refining pot.
After getting on Yu Chi, Jiang Xuan patted his neck and said, "Go to the Liyuan."
Yu Chi snorted when he heard this, and then stopped walking on the road and started to step on the human road.
The Liyuan Garden and Star Observation Tower are both located in the east of Suocheng City, and are very close to each other.
In just a quarter of an hour, Jiang Xuan, who rode Yun Chi through the crowd, arrived at the street where the Li Yuan was located.
The name of the street, Baiyi, refers to the countless craftsmen who make a living on the street.
Baiyi Street is much more lively than Qianxing Street where Shenxiao Sect is located.
The crowds of people were surging, and craftsmen of all kinds were vying to perform on both sides of the road.
Paper doors are folded, and countless colorful paper cranes are circling in the street. These cranes occasionally fall on the shoulders of children and peck them gently, making them laugh endlessly.
The masons chiseled the stone, and with the clanging sound, the vivid stone statues revealed their figures under their chisel hammers. They could take them back and use them as a house.
There are also ancient traditions such as fortune-telling, shadow play, painting, clay sculpture, puppets, paper-cutting, etc. Each has its own magic. There are hundreds of real skills, and all methods are Tao.
He found an inn and changed into Confucian clothes to blend in with the crowd. At this moment, Jiang Xuan seemed to have really integrated into this era.
Buy some candy figures in the east, buy a kite in the west, bring Shenhou mask and a golden hoop to tease the children, take off the mask and reward the storyteller who spits golden lotus in the teahouse.
When the sun sets, he climbs to the top floor of Donglaiju and looks at the streets that are still noisy and noisy after nightfall. Jiang Xuan can't help but sigh:
"The world of mortals."
As soon as the voice fell, the world suddenly looked different in his eyes.
Countless mundane auras emerged from the people and soared into the sky, condensing thousands of feet of mundane dust in the sky above Yujing City.
Look at the endless circles of red dust in the sky. Doesn’t it reflect the joys and sorrows in Yujing?
There are also all kinds of earthly auras mixed with various distracting thoughts that sink into the ground. After being stirred by the earthly energy, they turn into evil spirits and become the earthly turbid evil spirits that people hate and hate. They change and move with the earth's veins.
Countless worldly auras shuttled past Jiang Xuan, as if he could change the joys and sorrows of mortals with just a flick of his hand.
He stretched out his fingers to pull off a wisp of the turbid air of the world of mortals, but as soon as he raised his hand, Jiang Xuan's vision went into a trance, and the air of the world of mortals also disappeared from his eyes.
Even if he searches hard, he can't find the endless joys and sorrows of the world of mortals, and he can't catch a glimpse of the vast world of mortals.
As his mind turned, his eyes fell on the figure standing by the window with hands behind his back. Jiang Xuan then gave a deep salute and said, "Thank you, great uncle, for protecting this disciple."
Dai Jiuquan turned around with a complex look on his face:
"How come you have achieved enlightenment not long after we left?"
Jiang Xuan chuckled upon hearing this:
"The world is prosperous. Today, my disciples traveled to the capital to experience the joys and sorrows of the world, and to have a glimpse of the world of mortals. It was just a fluke."
"lucky?"
"Haha, if that kid Yang Wei knew that you had a chance to glimpse the world of mortals, he wouldn't know how he would feel."
"Isn't he the one who taught you the magical power of "Red Earth"?"
Jiang Xuan smiled even more when he heard this:
"The Tao should not be talked about lightly. I still can't tell what the Tao of the mortal world is."
"If one day in the future I can describe it, and Master Yang hasn't realized the Tao and magical powers, then I will definitely tell you all the ways I have realized."
“It’s very good not to forget the well diggers when drinking water.”
After sighing with emotion, Dai Jiuquan shook his head again:
"I say that nothing is perfect in the world, so I gave myself the nickname Jiuquan."
"But now that I think about it, that's just me."
"Do you want your uncle to give me a perfect nickname?"
Jiang Xuan couldn't help but became speechless, and after a while he replied:
"Nothing is perfect in this world."
"Disciple, it's just that the path of cultivation is going smoothly."
Dai Jiuquan nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, "That's right."
"After all, you are still being watched by the White Lotus Saint."
Jiang Xuan was speechless again.
Which door should I not open and which door should I mention?
Seeing that Jiang Xuan was speechless, Dai Jiuquan smiled and patted his shoulder:
"Practice hard, and the sect's plans may not come true. Maybe the future of the Shenxiao sect will fall on you."
Leaving a look full of expectation, Dai Jiuquan disappeared in front of Jiang Xuan.
Recalling the look in his uncle's eyes, Jiang Xuan suddenly felt a burden on his shoulders.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Xuan then bowed deeply to the place where Dai Jiuquan disappeared:
"Disciples will live up to the high expectations of their master."
After the ceremony, he went down to Donglaiju and walked straight towards the pear garden.
