As for Chen Yuan's technique of using wood to turn into a dragon, Xu Maoling probably thinks it is similar to the technique of summoning the gods with paper sticks. He knew this technique earlier, but later he learned other techniques and gradually didn't use them anymore.
forget.
‘I’ll pick it up later and try it on a dead wood. I’ll always try to figure it out by analogy… Right now, it’s better to break the magic circle. Well… we have to be on guard against this person.’
Xu Maoling looked at his smiling comrade, then stepped forward to carefully examine the place that was exactly the same as in the ordinary forest. The Dharma light in his eyes was flowing, and following the flow of spiritual power, he could vaguely see that it was a certain talisman array.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, why don't you come down and give it a try?"
Chen Yuan saw that he had been looking at him for a long time, and he had to rush back. He was too lazy to let him break into his house with this research, and he would have to rearrange it when the time came, which would be a trouble.
"Then...fellow Daoist Chang, come on."
Xu Maoling's face turned red. This was the first time he had been urged. He stepped aside to see how this fellow Taoist could break the formation.
"Actually, this magic circle is not difficult. Fellow Daoist Xu is optimistic about it." Chen Yuan stepped forward, drew out his instructions, and stretched the magic power over it. On the talisman that ordinary people could not see, he moved backward two inches, then retracted it, and started from the top.
They got up and finished drawing the talisman smoothly. The next moment, several big trees that originally stood in front of the two people suddenly disappeared, replaced by a road paved with green grass. The end of the extension connected to the valley, which could be seen from a distance.
To the building standing on the mountainside.
"Fellow Taoist's wonderful method!"
Xu Maoling bowed his hands and praised this young colleague who had advanced cultivation. Then he followed behind and walked in. His field of vision gradually broadened, his eyes couldn't help but shine, and he praised again.
"I never imagined that there is such a blessed place in Luoyang."
Stepping into the valley, Xu Maoling followed Chen Yuan through the fluttering butterflies, marveling again and again, and then looked at the Taoist temple with the sound of bells over there, showing a solemn expression.
"The golden light just flashed away. Could it be that it was in that Taoist temple? I don't know which gods are enshrined there. I don't know if there are other Taoists inside."
"What's the matter? We are all practicing Taoism. I am lucky to gain something and lose my life. You and I congratulate each other. Isn't it better than those who share Taoism with each other?"
Xu Maoling followed on one side. He would have sneered at the words of an ordinary person, but the comrade in front of him was chatting and laughing happily, unlike the comrades he had met before, who were mostly villains.
This is free and easy and natural, returning to nature.
However, this thought passed through his mind in a flash, and he couldn't help but remind him: "Fellow Daoist Chang has an easy-going temperament. I may not expect other fellow practitioners to be like you, so it's better to be careful."
"It's too early to tell now, we'll know in the future."
Chen Yuan walked up the hillside with a smile. He had no intention of showing any prestige in front of Comrade Xu, so he naturally looked free and easy. He looked back at Xu Maoling who was following him, but the latter was carefully preparing to cast the spell.
, and hung the magic weapon around his waist.
"There's really no need to be like this when facing a powerful enemy..."
Seeing the other party's actions, Chen Yuan couldn't help but want to say it out loud. He really regarded this place as a dragon's pond and a tiger's den.
Approaching the True Monarch Monastery, Sun Yingxian, a little Taoist boy who may or may not have been ordered by his master, was sitting on the stone steps at the door waiting. Beside him were two people from the Qin Xu family, who were more than ten years apart in age. They were talking and laughing. When he turned his head, he saw
When Chen Yuan came back, there was an unknown Buddhist monk beside him...
It seemed like he had been waiting for a long time, but the little Taoist boy didn't even give a courtesy. He dragged Qin Xu's family and ran into the temple, rushing to tell the master.
Xu Maoling saw this and frowned.
"Fellow Daoist Chang, it seems that there are indeed other cultivators here, but I don't know what the magic weapon that emits the divine light is. I wonder if the other party's temperament will drive us out."
[A book-chasing book recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, @
Isn’t he a god?”
After saying that, he took the lead to take a step and walked inside.
The Taoist temple is quiet and deserted, except for the green smoke of birds rising from the bronze cauldron, the courtyard is clean, the old trees are swaying their branches, and the dappled sunlight is swaying on the ground.
"Why did those two people disappear after entering the scene just now?"
Xu Maoling looked around and saw no one, "Chang Dao..."
He turned around and stopped calling out names. Taoist friend Chang, who was still next to him, had disappeared at some point. This startled him, thinking that there was something strange about the Taoist temple, but before he could
Taking out the magic weapon to be on guard, an old Taoist with white hair and beard stood in front of the palace door with Fu Chen on his arm and a smile.
"I'm a poor Taoist Feihe. I wonder what your comrade's name is?"
"Feihe?"
Xu Maoling was startled. When he was traveling, he heard about Taoist Master Feihe in Liangya Mountain. He never expected that the old Taoist priest from far northwest would appear here. Could it be that he got there first?
"Xu Maoling, Taoist Master, can you see one of my companions?"
"Companion? Fellow Taoist, you are joking. You are the only one here all the time." Master Feihe said in a gentle tone and invited the other party to come up. "Since it is fate to come to this temple, fellow Taoist, you might as well sit down and have a cup of tea."
Indeed, Xu Maoling did not want to leave just like that. Chang Wei, who had disappeared, and the eccentric old Taoist priest in front of him wanted to see what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
"I just happened to come to this temple. I will offer a stick of incense to the deity of this temple and then drink tea from the Taoist priest."
After cupping his hands, Xu Maoling went up the stone steps and took a stick of incense from the old Taoist priest. He touched the incense with his finger and lit it. He deliberately showed off and signaled to the other party that he was also very human.
As soon as he entered the main hall, he was stunned for a moment. He had never seen so many statues standing in a Taoist temple. They were all vivid and lifelike, as if they were human beings, as if they were jumping off the altar at any time.
"Everywhere in Zhenjun Temple is full of weirdness. Taoist friend Chang was plotted and taken to another place without any explanation. I should be careful not to follow the old Taoist priest's way."
Xu Maoling walked among many statues of gods, feeling a little uneasy in her heart. She couldn't help but speed up her steps. She came to the altar at the head, held incense and paid homage. When he reached the third time, he held up the incense and raised his head.
His expression was stunned, and he looked straight at the statue sitting on the altar.
Outside, Master Feihe stroked his beard and smiled without saying a word.
Then, he asked: "What's wrong with fellow Taoist?"
"No...nothing..."
Xu Maoling came back to his senses, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, put the incense in his hand into the incense burner, clasped his hands and bowed again, walked out with a pale face, looked back at the statue inside, and asked the old Taoist.
"Taoist Master Feihe, that statue inside is... the spiritual master of this temple?"
"The one who can occupy the first place is naturally enshrined in this temple."
Xu Maoling took a breath and hurriedly raised her hands to the old Taoist priest, "I've also offered the incense. I have some important things to do in the secular world, so I'll go ahead."
After saying that, he turned around and walked quickly out of the gate of the Taoist temple, but his heart was overturned. He didn't expect that the one who led him in was actually the spiritual master in the temple.
I am already a cultivator, and I am truly mysterious in the eyes of ordinary people in the world.
Unexpectedly, this time I would encounter something more mysterious than my own identity.
Thinking of this, he walked a little faster and returned to Luoyang along the same path he came from. Then, he found that all the dignitaries, emperors and queens in Luoyang had fled, leaving nothing behind but the common people...
…
In the backyard of Zhenjunguan, the fat Taoist stood in front of the table, looking at the floating ancient bronze mirror, "Master, I didn't touch anything. It suddenly flew up by itself."
Chen Yuan did not speak, he hesitated for a moment, raised his hand, and lightly touched the mirror body full of golden light with his fingertips.
