Ji Xiang has regained consciousness, but he can't see with his eyes, can't speak with his mouth, and can't hear with his ears.
A large number of memories in this thin body flooded into Ji Xiang's mind like a tide.
It is now the twenty-fifth year of Wanli.
Today is June 18th.
It's the Ming Dynasty, but there are ghosts and ghosts in this Ming Dynasty.
There is righteousness in the three mountains, Dharma among the people, national prestige in the Ming Dynasty, elves hiding in the mountains, and ghosts gathering and roaring.
At this time, the coordinates of this body are in the Forbidden City. The specific location is Longde Hall, which was built during the Jiajing period.
The late Emperor Longqing changed this hall into Longde Hall, removed the statues of Zhenwu and Ruizong originally enshrined here, and replaced them with the Sanqing Gods.
Up to now Emperor Wanli, the incense in the palace has been decreasing day by day.
Ji Xiang got information in his memory. If no one touched this body now, then there should be the statue of Sanqing in front of him, and he was lying in front of the Taoist Sanqing. There were still three sticks of incense that had burned out in the incense burner.
Ji Xiang is now a Taoist priest in Wudang Mountain, but his body is not in Wudang, but in the Forbidden City. Moreover, this body was charred and burned to death. Naturally, all the clothes on his body were burned away, leaving only
Get some jade jewelry.
Except for the charred body, there were no signs of burns on any items in the hall.
Having the same name and surname is a common situation in time travel.
When Ji Xiang traveled through time, he carried with him the blank divine card he had obtained from Dafuli Tu, and now this divine card is in his inner scene.
The inner scene refers to the image inside the body that is viewed inwardly during the practice.
Liang Qiuzi's preface to the "Huangting Nei Jing Jing": "The interior refers to the heart; the scenery refers to the image."
Simply understood as the spiritual world, everyone has a separate spiritual world.
"Didn't I just enjoy some of your favors, and why would you want to retaliate against me like this?"
Ji Xiang felt very uncomfortable at this time. Could this be considered as being "demoted to the earth"?
Other information, this little Taoist priest has done well in his daily homework in Wudang Mountain. Not long ago, he was assigned the job of cleaning the main hall of the palace, replacing the previous priest of Longde Hall.
The little Taoist priest's master is a great man, but he is very lazy on Wudang Mountain. This time he sent the little Taoist priest to work in the palace, which is actually an exception.
Because Wudang Mountain is different from other mountains. Among the "Three Sects, Nine Paths and Twenty-six Sects", Wudang Mountain generally does not belong to any level. You can play your own game. There are Zhengyi, Quanzhen and Wudang.
In addition to those who cultivate immortality, there are also those who practice martial arts and live in seclusion.
However, although there are many sects, one characteristic is that no matter what sect you belong to, they all worship Emperor Zhenwu as the highest god.
This time the changing of the guard came to the palace, many sects wanted to participate. Since Emperor Wanli did not interact with Wudang all year round, he re-elevated Longhu Mountain's status as a Taoist sect, and at the same time raised a hand of Buddhism, so that Wudang Mountain was very eager to
Show off your skills in front of the emperor and regain his trust, so every sect wants to win this job of competing for face, causing chaos on the mountain.
There are several Patriarchs on the mountain. Some of these Patriarchs have lived here in seclusion since the end of the Yuan Dynasty. There are also many who do not belong to various sects and are simply lay people. Of course, for some unknown reason, there are no practitioners in the mountain who lived before the Yuan Dynasty.
Various schools asked the patriarchs to choose from them, and the patriarchs were also in a dilemma.
Then, the little Taoist priest's master appeared and waved his hand, indicating that everyone should stop fighting and let his apprentice go.
According to this little Taoist priest's rotten-headed master, it's just a group of old Taoist priests who go out to fool others every day but fail to do so. They just get nothing if they go there. They might as well not go there at all and just send a kid to fool them for two years.
The ancestors can no longer stand the intrigues of these juniors. In their opinion, cultivation and immortality are the most important things. Fighting for a job as a palace sweeper is simply a disgrace.
When Wudang Mountain was used as a Taoist temple for the royal family, incense was very popular at that time. Emperor Jiajing went to Wudang Mountain many times to carry out large-scale construction projects. However, over the past few decades, today's Emperor Wanli only gave Wudang Mountain a bound Buddhist folder.
It is noted that there is no other interaction with Wudang Mountain, except that a Taoist priest from Wudang Mountain is left in the Forbidden City as a mascot, and is only responsible for cleaning the Longde Hall on weekdays.
Everyone is going to go, and since everyone is so contentious, then don’t go!
So one of the founders appointed this little Taoist priest, and said let's not talk about it anymore. There are no hard and fast rules, so you can go ahead. Going to the palace to sweep the floors for two years can be considered as gaining work experience.
Just like that, the youngest Taoist priest, the palace sweeper, appeared.
After all, the so-called Zhenwu Emperor is actually Zhu Di, the Yongle Emperor. Even the statue is modeled after Yongle Emperor himself. The Zhenwu statue can be removed, but the Wudang dedicated person is responsible for the sacrifice and cannot be discarded.
On weekdays, no one comes here, not even palace maids or eunuchs. This is because Taoist people have the practice rules of fasting and eating food. In this world with strange powers and chaotic gods, Taoist priests really have this ability.
.
However, the leisurely days did not last long.
At that time, the little Taoist priest was chanting sutras and praying as usual. After finishing the evening class, suddenly three rays of fire floated from the Sanqing incense burner and penetrated directly into the little Taoist priest's body. Then the little Taoist priest's whole body became hot, and his internal organs began to heat up in a short period of time.
Everything was burned down in a matter of seconds.
At that time, the young Taoist priest tried to use his own fire-stopping technique to control spontaneous combustion, but the fires were very strange. They were not normal flames, but cursed killing techniques.
The little Taoist priest only did well in his homework in the mountain gate, but did not have strong magic power, so he was burned to death soon. But before being burned to death, he recited a scripture that could bring the dead back to life, placing his hope in his soul.
Relying on the scriptures, he is immortal, but unfortunately, his soul was too weak and disappeared after reciting the scriptures.
Human life and death are just the gathering and dispersing of Qi.
Looking back at this point in his memory, Ji Xiang had some thoughts. It seemed that the Forbidden City was not peaceful either.
"This little Taoist priest came to the Forbidden City not long ago and has not had any in-depth communication with anyone. The Forbidden City is a forbidden place for all dharma. Except for the magicians who have been approved by the emperor to stay, there are no other practitioners. Only Zhenren Zhang from Longhu Mountain is two doors away.
Yue Hui will come in for a walk."
"There is no enmity between the same people, there is no involvement in officialdom politics, and there is no enmity with any factory fan Jinyiwei. What is the purpose of the person who cast the curse?"
Ji Xiang thought for a moment, no matter what, the first thing to do now is to "come back to life".
This burnt body has no way to move around in the world.
So, Ji Xiang just had a slight thought, and suddenly the blank divine card flashed with majestic brilliance in his soul.
Countless incense and yellow gas surged out from the blank divine tablet in an instant, and the blank divine tablet was also filled with white jade-like light in the interior.
The incense reached every corner of the burnt body, and then connected together, causing the burnt body to begin to move slowly under the influence of the yellow gas.
These smells, this feeling, and this scene now... Even though I can't see, my mouth and nose can't smell, and my ears can't hear, I can still understand that I am no longer a pure human being.
At the same time, there is a vague coercion from all directions, which makes people very uncomfortable.
"If you don't want to be a human being, don't be a human being. Let me get up first and then talk..."
Just as Ji Xiang's thoughts were turning, some words flashed on the blank divine card, which seemed to be responding to Ji Xiang's question:
[The incense of all peoples: It is made by the sacrifices of ten thousand people, and those who eat the breath will become gods and not die.]
These are "incense".
It is the incense that all living beings have prayed for and gathered throughout the ages!
Afterwards, after confirming that the incense filled the body, Ji Xiang looked up the spell of resurrecting the dead from the memory of the young Taoist priest. After learning the text, he was very surprised.
This was exactly the chanting sound that I heard when I was sent to the lower realm by Yuanshi Tianzun's divine card.
So, using the incense of all peoples as a guide, I began to recite this scripture silently in my heart.
"In the past, in the first blue sky, the blue sky sang, and the rich earth..."
