"Kumho... I'm back again..." Standing in the cloud sky, looking at the ripples of the lake below, Mo Yu was filled with emotions.
She seemed to want to say something, but she stood there for a long time and said nothing except the first sentence.
Wu Jie couldn't quite understand her mood, but he probably knew what was going on.
On the one hand, it’s because I feel shy about being close to home, and on the other hand, it must be because I’ve been reminded of sad past events in my heart.
She and her predecessor, Jinhu Longjun Qingshuang, lived here for eight hundred years. It took eight hundred years of hard work to build the originally desolate Jinhu into a famous aquarium residence, and also made the originally small population
Jinhu County has become one of the famous towns in Yunmeng County.
It was a long, hard and happy process. Although you usually only see the hard work but no rewards, every time you look back, you will see the growth of Kumho County. It is like parents raising children, there are only little things in daily life.
You have put in so much effort, but looking back, every bit of it is a happy memory.
However, everything, the accumulation of eight hundred years, has been destroyed in one day!
Because of the conspiracy and manipulation of the demon sect Bian Liequan, the Jinhu Aquatic Tribe has been wiped out, and even Long Lord Qingshuang died. Among the entire Jinhu Aquatic Tribe, except for a few lucky ones who happened to not be involved in the conspiracy, only Mo Yu
Because of Wu Jie's help, he saved his life.
Eight hundred years of hard work were destroyed in a blink of an eye. Even though Wu Jie was just a bystander at the time, he felt indescribable sadness. As a direct party, Mo Yu's pain in his heart can be imagined!
"It's all over." Wu Jie saw the sad look on her face and advised, "In the past thirty years, Jinhu has been prospering under the management of Junior Sister Luo. Although it is not as good as yours back then, it has also recovered a lot of vitality——
You can see it with your own eyes later."
"Thank you, fellow Taoist!"
"You've been saying this for decades, and I'm tired of hearing it even if you don't." Wu Jie laughed loudly, "Let's go to the Dragon Temple first and get the Dragon Lord Talisman that has been stored there.
return."
Nearly thirty years ago, there was a great chaos in Jinhu. The body of the intended successor, Dragon King Moyu, was destroyed, and his soul was slowly cultivated in the world of the Book of Heaven. In view of the idea that the Jinhu Aquatic Tribe must have no owner, Wu Jie's junior sister Luo Yu
As a disciple of Mo Yu, he served as the temporary Dragon Lord.
At Wu Jie's suggestion, Luo Yu placed the Dragon Lord Talisman that belonged to Mo Yu in the Dragon Temple where the Dragon King was worshiped, and received incense from the people every day in order to help Mo Yu rebuild his true body.
In fact, this is of no use, because Mo Yu's soul is hidden in the world of heavenly books. The world of heavenly books is isolated from the three realms. Even the world-destroying divine thunder cannot reach it, and the incense in the human world cannot be transmitted.
But this approach is also meaningful. On the one hand, it can be used as proof that Mo Yu, the genuine Kumho Dragon Lord, is still there; on the other hand, the Dragon Lord Talisman, which condenses the incense in the world, can help Mo Yu when he returns in the future.
She will take control of the Dragon Lord as soon as possible
Of course, at that time, even Wu Jie did not expect that Mo Yu had been cultivating in the world of the Book of Heaven for thirty years!
The process of re-condensing the physical body is not long. What is long is the process of digesting and understanding the power of the dragon after condensing the physical body, and fully adapting to the new body of the true dragon.
It took Mo Yu more than twenty years to complete this matter. Now she is no longer the Black Snake King of the past, but a majestic black dragon, a real dragon!
This is something she has been dreaming about for 800 years. Now that her dream has come true, the price she has paid is beyond imagination. If she could do it all over again, she would probably rather just be a snake for the rest of her life than the accident that happened back then.
Bar……
Wu Jie's magic power is now very good. He used a blind trick to enter the Dragon Temple in broad daylight. Not only did the pilgrims and believers coming and going not notice, but even the monks in the temple did not notice.
Strictly speaking, the Dragon Temple should actually be regarded as Wu Jie's Taoism, because the older monks in this temple have all received his teachings and are considered his disciples.
For example, the current Master Zhu Mapo of the Dragon Temple Temple, this monk who has reached the peak of a hundred refinements and is not far from the realm of Tongyou, has been a monk for more than a hundred years. He can barely survive by relying on piecemeal practice methods.
Once you have entered the realm of Hundred Refinements, you will not be able to make any progress from now on.
Twenty-nine years ago, dozens of monks, including him, were taught by Wu Jie. Starting from some key points of daily practice, he explained to them the correct knowledge of Taoism. Until the end, he also gave them a true sermon.
The Dharma door leading to the great road, thunder in the palm of your hand.
If the things explained before were just out of friendliness, then the "Thunder in the Palm" in the last class is equivalent to establishing the orthodoxy - the thunder in the palm is the Taoist Dharma in the true sense, although it is the most superficial among the Taoist Dharma.
But it is definitely not something that can be discussed briefly or deeply.
Wu Jie was influenced by Bian Liequan's inner demon magic and forcibly used the method of preaching from the heart. He told the group of casual cultivators who gathered at the Dragon Temple to listen to his sermon about thunder in the palm. Although most of them could not understand it, they could not understand it.
After all, there are still a few people who, either because of sufficient accumulation or because of extraordinary qualifications, have understood what he said and found the right path to the great road.
According to the rules of the world of cultivation, these people who have understood the thunder in the palm can at least be regarded as Wu Jie's registered disciples.
With Wu Jie's current level of cultivation, he could see the inside and outside of the Dragon Temple thoroughly with one sweep of his spiritual consciousness, as well as the situation of the monks in the temple.
There are now nearly thirty monks in the temple, which is a little less than when he first preached. But each of these disciples has the aura of merit and virtue, and they obviously follow his original teachings and never forget to do good deeds on daily basis.
Build virtue.
This alone made him quite happy.
In the entire Dragon Temple, there were three monks whose minds fluctuated under the scanning of divine consciousness. The first one was the Temple Zhu Mapo Taoist, the second was the Kongguan Taoist who was in retreat in the inner hall, and the third one was
Xigua Taoist sitting in the side courtyard treating patients.
When Wu Jie's spiritual consciousness swept over them, the hearts of the three people were slightly shaken, with a vague meaning of thunder, which was a sign that the practice of palm thunder was successful.
The thunder in the palm is not a real thunder and lightning, but a Taoist method to control the body and mind and sense the heaven and earth.
Heaven has five elements, and humans also have five elements. The five elements are the internal organs on the inside, and the emotions on the outside. By using the five emotions to activate the Qi of the internal organs, the heaven and earth can be induced, and the five elements can be transported and transformed into thunder. This thunder is not a seal, but the combination of mind, breath and breath.
, mana comes naturally.
Anger arouses liver wood, joy arouses heart fire, thinking brings up spleen earth, sadness condenses lung metal, and fear of kidney water arises. The wonderful combination of the five elements inside and outside is wood as green thunder, fire as red thunder, earth as yellow thunder, and metal as white thunder.
, water is black thunder, this is the image of the connection between heaven and man.
Therefore, as long as you follow the correct method, concentrate and calm down, don’t think about it, feel the five emotions in your inner body, and feel the five elements in the outer body. So that the inside and outside are connected, you can trigger the five elements of heaven and earth from your own five emotions, and then manifest the changes in the five elements into thunder and lightning.
For the mysterious palm thunder.
The name "Thunder in the Palm" does not refer to the thunder and lightning released by casting spells, but "this method to control the mind and manifest it into thunder...".
Among the casual cultivators who first listened to Taoism, there were three who were the most outstanding: Taoist Anxian, who was the temple’s director at the Dragon Temple at that time, Taoist Mapo who abandoned Buddhism and became Taoist, and Taoist Xigua, who was careful but also quick-witted. It was a pity that Taoist Anxian was there during the chaos.
Wu Jie lamented that he had to work to death for disaster relief.
Taoist Kongguan was a disciple of Taoist Anxian. He was only twelve or thirteen years old at the time. Now he is in his thirties. Perhaps thanks to the foundation he laid since childhood, his Taoism is quite stable and he has entered the realm of hundred refinements.
In a quiet room, visualize the thunder method and temper your body with the thunder in your palms.
Mapo Taoist's aura is stable at this moment, and there is a faint power of soul coming out. He should have reached the edge of the realm of Tongyou. But perhaps because of lack of enough tempering, he has not been able to take the most critical step. Considering his age,
Not a little, the situation made Wu Jie slightly worried.
Taoist Xigua is not young yet, and his cultivation level is worse than that of Taoist Mapo. But he has a strong aura of merit and virtue. Thinking about Xuanhu helping the world over the years, he has saved many people and accumulated a lot of merit. Wu Jie estimates
After a while, I determined that if he couldn't break through the realm of Tongyou by relying on his own cultivation, he should be able to use merit as a guide to help him break through forcefully.
Except for these three people, the rest of the monks in the Dragon Temple are not outstanding. There may be one or two young Taoist priests with good qualifications, but the most important thing in cultivating immortality is character, followed by chance and qualifications - at least for the disciples of Qingyang Temple
For us, it's not a big problem.
That year when I went to Qingniu Town to seek Taoism, among the twenty remaining disciples, except for one who was too old to embark on the Taoist path, the other nineteen had already embarked on the path of cultivation.
Because the most superficial person has already reached the realm of Hundred Refinements - Tao Tu would often complain that as a senior fellow apprentice, it would look bad on his face if he was overtaken by five junior fellow apprentices.
Unfortunately, this is probably inevitable, because three of the five junior disciples who have become regular disciples from outer disciples have already surpassed him, and it is only a matter of time for the remaining two.
Thinking of this, Wu Jie couldn't help but smile secretly. He was looking forward to seeing what Tao Tu's expression would be like when all his junior brothers came from behind.
I hope that by then, this somewhat lazy junior brother will work hard again and work hard for ten or eight years...
With all kinds of thoughts running through his mind, Wu Jie's steps did not stop, and he accompanied Mo Yu all the way from the gate of the Dragon Temple to the main hall.
The main hall of the Dragon Temple is quite large. Facing the entrance is the ink jade statue of Dragon Lord, and some later are statues of the acting Dragon Lord Luo Yu. Both statues are handmade by mortals, so naturally they cannot be said to be "like."
”. But whether it looks like or not is not a problem in the first place. What matters is the thoughts of the gods left on the statue, and the belief of mortals in the gods.
As long as there are these things, not to mention a statue, even a tree or a stone, it can become a residence for the gods' thoughts and a medium for manifesting supernatural powers.
Wu Jie and Mo Yu stood in front of the statue dressed in black, looking up at the statue and sighing slightly.
There is a strong faith condensed in the statue. Mortals cannot see this light, but they can't help but feel awe and admiration. In the eyes of the monks, this faith is condensed and unbreakable, and there is a vague brilliance that hesitates, which means
Although the gods are absent, the merits have not been lost.
Between the eyebrows of the statue, there is a golden light that even ordinary monks cannot see. Hidden in the golden light is a golden talisman edict. It was an edict issued by Empress Yunmeng Zelong herself, conferring the title of Lord Black Snake Moyu as the Brocade.
Lord Hulong.
This thing is the Dragon Lord's talisman, and it is also the most important evidence for the execution of the Dragon Lord's authority.
Of course, the absence of a Talisman Edict does not mean that the authority of the Dragon King cannot be exercised. Anyone can do such things as making clouds, rain, and waves as long as they have enough magic power. But without a Talisman Edict, many supernatural powers that belong to the gods cannot be used—
- This has been the case with Kumho Dragon Lord Luo Yu over the years. Although she has never slackened off in making clouds and rain, she seems to be incompetent in some other supernatural aspects.
For example: Suppose a believer who has devout faith in the gods suffers from infertility. If the monk does not know the targeted treatment spells, he will not be able to think of it; but as long as the gods have the power in their hands, even if they do not have this ability, they will not be able to cure the disease.
With the help of authority, the power of incense can be manifested into a supernatural being, allowing him to temporarily restore the power of fertility.
This is divine power. Compared with the monk's magic power and supernatural powers, its scope of application is wider, but unfortunately it is also more restrictive.
After all...faith and reward are relative. Once you have devout faith, you have the obligation to repay it. If faith refuses to repay it, it will damage the incense of the gods. One point of damage often requires a lot of accumulation.
make up.
Over the years, Luo Yu sent messages to the masters more than once, mostly asking An Ziqing for spiritual elixirs.
Without the authority of the Dragon Lord, she couldn't do many things, so she naturally had to ask An Ziqing, the best at alchemy among her fellow disciples, for help.
An Ziqing has always been dissatisfied with this, and thinks about it every time. For some reason, he hates monsters and dragons very much. In his words, "Monsters are definitely bad; dragons, even if they are not for the time being."
Those who are bad will most likely learn to be bad in the future..." So he doesn't have a good look towards monsters or dragons.
Luo Yu was originally a human, but now he has transformed into a half-dragon and half-demon being, which is exactly the type he hates the most. However, he hates it. For him, Luo Yu has another identity that is more important than monsters and dragons.
——
She is his fellow junior sister!
In the face of this identity, monsters and dragons are just minor issues. So even though An Ziqing thought about it every time, he never refused Luo Yu's request, and even went to collect medicinal materials more than once to refine it for her.
Make those elixirs that monks will never need.
Wu Jie looked at An Ziqing's behavior with an interesting attitude. He remembered that in his previous life, there seemed to be a special word on earth to describe people like An Ziqing - it was probably called "tsundere".
Can men use this word? Wu Jie was not very familiar with these things in his previous life, but I think it is probably no problem...
Mo Yu stood in front of his own statue and looked at it for a long time, and then looked at the statue of Luo Yu who was worshiping behind him in a clear follower posture, and finally sighed deeply.
"It's been a lot of hard work over the years!"
Peiyu is Luo Yu's "zi". According to the rules of the Kyushu world, the "zi" should be chosen by the teacher for his disciples. If there is no clear teacher, then there is no word - but you can have a nickname, and the nickname is chosen by yourself.
Luo Yu's surname was chosen by Mo Yu for her, and was named Peiyu; Wu Jie had no surname, so he gave himself a nickname, "Master of Zhifeizhai".
Many friends have asked this question and asked him why he named his retreat in Anfeng County "Zhifeizhai". In their opinion, Wu Jie was brave and generous, and he behaved uprightly. He was simply practicing Taoism.
He is a role model for the author, there is nothing "wrong" to know!
Of course they didn't know that Wu Jie's "knowledge" was about his previous life.
The supreme divine king in his previous life was undoubtedly a complete villain. He could not be described as having sores on his head and pus on his soles. He was so bad that heaven and earth could not tolerate it. He even let heaven rain down the world-destroying divine thunder to kill him. Wu Jie said, "Know what is wrong."
" is a sign to remind myself to remember the teachings of the Supreme God and never go down the wrong path again.
This is his warning to himself, and it is not enough for outsiders.
In contrast, "words" are mostly good hopes or praises. For example, Luo Yu's word "Peiyu" is the praise corresponding to her name. Although Wu Jie doesn't quite understand why "Peiyu" is considered a praise, considering that
Mo Yu's own name has the word "yu" in it, which clearly shows his earnestness.
Mo Yu sighed and stretched out her hand towards the statue. As she stretched out her hand, a faint golden light appeared on the statue, and then the golden light flew out from the statue's eyebrows and turned into a golden edict, which landed on the statue.
on her hand.
When the edict fell on his hand, Mo Yu's body trembled slightly. His cultivation level, which was already in the middle stage of Gang Refining, suddenly improved. The Gang Qi around him became as thick as a mountain, and he entered the realm of the late stage of Gang Refining.
Not only that, her eyes became clear again after a moment of confusion. Her gaze became less confused and more awe-inspiring, with a vague sense of looking down on all living beings from above.
This attitude is necessary for the gods, because as the holders of authority, the gods must be selfless. Because of their selflessness, they are inevitably separated from all living beings. For them, except for monks who can transcend all living beings,
Other living beings are not worthy of and cannot be taken seriously.
The authority of the gods is not a private thing, but is manifested by the will of all living beings. It is the great power of humanity presented through incense. Only with this aloof attitude can we use authority in the most appropriate manner and avoid things that harm the public for private purposes.
.
Mo Yu's state only lasted for a moment, and then he returned to his previous appearance - the mentality of a god does not need to be displayed on his face all the time, it just needs to be in his heart.
She bowed deeply to Wu Jie, then walked towards the statue without saying anything.
Her figure was like an illusion, shining through the statue, and the statue that originally seemed a bit dull suddenly gained a sense of agility, and there was vitality in the awe-inspiring look.
From this moment on, Mo Yu's thoughts were lodged on the statue, which also meant that from this moment on, she officially took over the position of Jinhu Dragon Lord.
"Let's go to Jinhu." Mo Yu smiled slightly and raised her hand in an inviting gesture, "Peiyu must have sensed that I'm back, so she can entertain fellow Taoists."
Wu Jie nodded and followed her lead.
He has always heard about the delicacies of the Dragon Palace, but he was unlucky to visit last time and did not have the chance to enjoy it. This coincidence can make up for the regret last time.
The two of them walked to the edge of Jinhu Lake and were about to cast a spell and step into the lake. Mo Yu suddenly laughed and said: "Wu Daoyou, what I said before will not stop just because I become the Dragon Lord." Wu Jie was stunned.
She almost fell down. Why does she still remember it in her heart?
