"Oh——? The Taoist priest actually lived a hundred and twenty years?" Li Muchan was surprised and looked him up and down.
It seemed that he was only in his forties, and he didn't look like he was one hundred and twenty years old.
"Isn't Taoist Master joking?" Li Muchan said with a smile.
Taoist Zheng stroked his beard and laughed, shook his head and said: "You little monk, how old am I, how can I lie to you?"
Li Muchan smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'm a Taoist believer. It seems that this Taoist Kung Fu is really magical and can keep you young forever!"
"That's natural!" Taoist Zheng smiled while stroking his beard, and said, "Those girls from the Yuxian Sect, do you think they are all beautiful? Isn't it because of practicing martial arts?"
"The Taoist Master is very familiar with the Yuxian Sect." Li Muchan said.
Taoist Zheng nodded: "Well, there is some connection."
Li Muchan said: "I have some friendship with Master Lin, and I have heard of the Dragon and Phoenix Dynasty Yuan Jin Jing."
"Is that girl asking you to join the Jade Immortal Sect?" Taoist Zheng narrowed his eyes and asked.
Li Muchan nodded and smiled.
"Alas... that little girl has always been unwilling..." Taoist Zheng shook his head with a look of pity on his face.
Li Muchan looked at him and said nothing.
Zheng Daoshi said: "Girl Lin has never forgotten to restore the glory of the Yuxian Sect, and she wants to revive the Yuxian Sect... Unfortunately, it is not that easy. Nowadays, Buddhism is prosperous in the world, and few people practice Taoist Kung Fu. She wants to revive the Yuxian Sect.
The Immortal Sect is going against heaven, what a silly girl!"
Li Muchan nodded. Indeed, Buddhism is worshiped today and Buddhism is very prosperous. However, Taoism was the state religion of the previous dynasty. Now it has been suppressed and exterminated, and it has declined.
Trying to revitalize the Taoist sect is indeed going against nature, and is something a wise man would not do.
Among all the forces in the world, the trend is the first. Go with the trend and the times create heroes. No matter how strong your personal ability is, compared with the general trend, it is like a cricket and a big tree, unable to shake it at all.
Taoist Zheng said: "Little monk, you must have a very good understanding... the Dragon and Phoenix Dynasty Yuan Jin Sutra is not easy to practice, otherwise, the Yuxian Sect would not have declined to this day."
"Head Meng Lin's favor is really shameful." Li Muchan shook his head and sighed.
He could feel Lin Qiongying's desire. He had worked so hard to enroll in the Jade Immortal Sect, but in the end he refused. He must have been extremely disappointed.
Thinking of this, he felt a little guilty. In any case, Leader Lin was kind to him.
Taoist Zheng waved his hand: "Forget about that silly girl... tell me, do you choose Taoist Kung Fu or Buddhist Kung Fu?"
Li Muchan thought for a while and said: "Let's stick to Buddhist Kung Fu. I come from Buddhism and practice Taoist Kung Fu, which is neither fish nor fowl."
In the blink of an eye, he had already thought about it several times. If he gave up, he still had to give up the Ziyang Monument. The indestructible power of the Vajra was the foundation of life and could not be abandoned.
Moreover, the magical power of Vajra Indestructibility has been integrated into the bone marrow and changed everything about his body. It is impossible to abolish it.
"Alas... I won't advise you either!" Taoist Zheng sighed, shook his head, and said: "If you practice Taoist Kung Fu, I can teach you a few moves..."
Li Muchan smiled and said: "That's the best thing, let's count it as senior's drink money!"
Taoist Zheng was surprised and snorted: "You still want money for drinks, you are so stingy!"
Li Muchan said with a smile: "Senior, this wine of mine is an extraordinary wine. Besides, after you drink it, you will drink it again in the future...Senior is so virtuous and respected, how can you drink it in vain?"
"Huh, okay." Taoist Zheng snorted and nodded helplessly.
He thought for a while and said: "You have to decide what you want to learn first. I will only teach you a set of kung fu. Buddhism and Taoism are different. Since you have chosen Buddhism, it is best not to learn my kung fu."
Li Muchan said: "Senior, please teach me the life-saving skills. I will use them at critical times. If I don't practice them at ordinary times, it will probably be fine."
"Hmm..." Taoist Zheng thought for a while and said, "How about the Lantern Technique?"
"Lamp burning technique?" Li Muchan asked hurriedly: "What kind of technique is this?"
"The method of igniting inner strength and burning inner strength." Zheng Daoshi said, looked at Li Muchan, nodded and said: "You have practiced the Vajra Indestructible Magic Kung Fu, it is best to learn this Kung Fu."
"Ignite the inner strength?" Li Muchan asked hurriedly.
Taoist Zheng said: "It is best to use internal energy as oil, light it, and use Qinggong to escape."
After that, he waved his hand and said: "I can't explain clearly. You will know after you practice. Let me explain."
A mantra came out of his mouth.
The formula was very simple, but it was thought-provoking. After listening to it, Li Muchan was stunned. He kept looking at the red clouds in the sky and was lost in thought for a long time.
After a while, he took a deep breath, shook his head and sighed: "Every mountain is higher than the other, I really admire it, I admire it!"
Taoist Zheng smiled: "Little monk, don't think that you are great. There are many smart people in the world. If you want to become a bit bright, you have to practice hard!"
"Yes, I will teach you this junior." Li Muchan nodded.
Then, he closed his eyes and began to figure out the lighting technique.
It was difficult for him to master the moves, but he was very quick to master the mental techniques. In a blink of an eye, he had figured out the trick and was able to perform it in half an hour.
According to the heart method, the fire condensed from the mind, igniting the inner power of the Dantian. Suddenly, with a "bang" sound, the entire Dantian burned, as if a spark splashed into gasoline.
Li Muchan's body flashed and hit the wall with a "bang", leaving a human-shaped hole. The person had already gotten through, like a rocket.
"Haha..." Taoist Zheng was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, overjoyed.
He laughed for a while and shook his head with emotion: "This little monk really has amazing understanding!"
Mastering the Burning Lamp Technique so quickly was by no means an astonishing understanding. His mental power was also extremely strong, and it took him two years to practice it even when he was eighty years old.
And his ability to condense sparks and ignite his internal energy is truly astonishing.
Li Muchan activated his Qing Gong and felt that his inner energy was like a flame. The scene in front of him was rapidly moving backwards, almost blurry. He could only move forward based on his intuition.
He also wanted to stop, but his body seemed to be on fire, and he had to let it out quickly. If he stopped, he would almost be incinerated. If he didn't vomit, he would have to run as fast as he could.
After about a quarter of an hour, he suddenly stopped, staggered, and fell on the grass.
At this time, he had already reached the other side of Ai Mountain. In the blink of an eye, he had climbed over the towering Ai Mountain. In the past, it was simply impossible.
However, the price was also high. Now his Dantian was gone, the Purple Pill was dim, hanging quietly in the Dantian, and all the internal energy disappeared.
This lamp-burning technique ignites all internal forces, like gunpowder exploding, erupting with astonishing power. It is indeed a unique skill for escaping.
However, such a squandering of internal energy is a desperate risk. If he cannot escape and is caught up, he will have no choice but to be captured.
He sat cross-legged and formed a seal with his hands. The setting sun soon shot a beam of light, which was only visible to Li Muchan and could not be seen by others.
Infused with the essence of the sun, the originally dull purple elixir slowly brightened, and within a short time, it returned to its brilliance, just like before.
Li Muchan stood up, took a long breath, and laughed.
The Burning Lamp Technique is indeed magical, and you have the Jiuyao Mind Technique. If you can master it, you can still practice it while running, attract the essence of the sun and the moon into the body, and transform it into internal power through the purple elixir to supply ignition, so it can last for a long time.
Thinking of this, he suddenly became excited. With this unique skill, he could escape with even greater strength and a little more protection!
He immediately frowned.
Is Ziyang Monument really giving up? If Zidan is not there, the power of Jiuyao's mental method will be greatly reduced, and the time it takes to transform into internal force will be much longer.
He looked up to the sky and sighed, he couldn't have his cake and eat it too, and now it seemed that he had no choice but to give up.
After practicing Qinggong and returning home, Taoist Zheng was drinking contentedly. When he saw him coming in, he smiled and said, "How are you, little monk?"
Li Muchan nodded: "It is indeed wonderful...Senior, if I give up Taoist practices, the Ziyang Monument should be abolished?"
Taoist Zheng waved his hand: "That's not necessary. It's just that you no longer improve your Taoist Kung Fu. In the future, as you improve your Buddhist Kung Fu, the east wind will overwhelm the west wind, so there will be no serious problems."
Li Muchan breathed a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, there was no need to destroy the Ziyang Monument. He was really reluctant to let go of the Ziyang Monument.
Taoist Zheng thought for a while and shook his head: "Sigh... you don't have any Buddhist mental skills now, but it's a problem. Just find an opportunity to learn it."
Li Muchan nodded. He had indeed never learned the Buddhist mind method. The indestructible power of the Vajra could not be counted. The top priority was to find a Buddhist mind method to practice and suppress the advancement of the Ziyang Monument.
Taoist Zheng stroked his beard and thought for a while: "If you want to talk about Buddhism, Landa Temple is the best place. However, Landa Temple Kungfu is not taught to the outside world, and those monks are not to be offended... Sigh! You can think of your own way!"
"
Li Muchan smiled bitterly and nodded: "Yes, I will figure it out myself."
He thought of the black Buddha statue.
After bidding farewell to Taoist Zheng, he entered the house, took out the black Buddha statue, sat cross-legged on the couch and played with it. He always felt that there was something mysterious, but he could not decipher it.
He looked over and over, groped carefully with his hands, put it in front of his eyes to observe carefully, and squinted at it from a distance, but found nothing.
He did not believe in evil, so he placed the Buddha statue on the table, sat on the couch, and kept staring at it, much like the Buddha sitting under the bodhi tree, unable to achieve enlightenment and vowing not to leave his seat.
He kept staring without blinking. After an unknown amount of time, his eyes slowly narrowed, as if he was sleeping but not asleep, as if he was in concentration, but not in concentration.
Suddenly, a bright light appeared in his mind, and a huge Buddha statue appeared, sitting cross-legged in the void. Its body was like glass, except for the black ash in the Dantian, which looked like lotus leaves.
His mind couldn't help but focus on his Dantian, and the lotus leaves seemed to spin around, constantly absorbing his mind. His spirit gradually weakened, and he finally woke up.
