The master sighed: "Beyond the mortal world, it stands to reason that one should not interfere with the affairs of the mortal world, but every Taoist sect has its own means of intervening in the mortal world, and our Taoist sect is no exception. The rule of our Taoist sect is that life and death are equal."
Xu Zhiqiong said with a look of embarrassment: "I don't even have the means to bring the dead back to life. If we were to be equal, it would be very difficult for others..."
The master nodded: "This road is too difficult for you. Taking away a star palace here is the right way.
If you are afraid of loneliness, you can occasionally go down to earth to fast with me as my teacher. If you like to go to Goulan the most, go there a few times now and then, and my teacher can be accommodating."
Xu Zhiqiong finally chose to refuse.
This is not a matter of checking the box!
This is a deep attachment to the mortal world!
Now that he has made his choice, the first problem Xu Zhiqiong has to face is to learn the art of bringing the dead back to life.
Since it was a student, Xu Zhiqiong first thought of Zhuque Shengdao.
In the Suzaku Taoist Sect, there must be a way to bring people back to life. What is the key level to master this method?
As far as Xu Zhiqiong knows, Yan Huan does not have the technique to bring people back to life. If a corpse stands up under Yan Huan's technique, don't think that this person has been brought back to life. There is a high probability that he has used some strange technique from the Dao of Life.
He turned into a monster.
Besides the way of life, what other way is there?
yin and yang!
Xu Zhiqiong returned to the Punishment Department and went to find Taifu.
Taibu really has similar secret skills.
He took out a puppet, a puppet that was almost indistinguishable from a normal person.
"Not long after this person died, I rescued her using the Soul Puppet Technique, and then used some herbs to reincarnate her body into a living being. This person was resurrected."
A young woman stood in front of Xu Zhiqiong. With her second-grade eyes, she really couldn't tell that she was a puppet.
But this woman is not a living person in the true sense. She has no cultivation, but she can still survive in the two realms, which means that she is different from a living person.
Taibu just made a puppet that is infinitely close to a living person. Is there any other secret technique besides this?
Taibu thought for a long time and understood what Xu Zhiqiong meant: "The secret technique does exist, but it is not the technique you want."
To put it bluntly, among the onmyoji techniques Taibu masters, there is no pure resurrection technique.
Apart from the Tao of Life and Yin and Yang, is there any other way?
There is a way in front of us. Underworld cultivators can be resurrected after death. Although it may lead to the loss of cultivation or combat power, this is resurrection in the true sense.
The problem is that this is only for meditators and not suitable for others.
Xu Zhiqiong found a cultivator of the underworld, killed him, and then resurrected him. Repeatedly, this cultivator of the underworld could continue to create meritorious deeds for Xu Zhiqiong...
First of all, this is very rude to the underworld.
Secondly, Master made it very clear that if you make a wrong decision, you will be severely punished.
In other words, you cannot kill people who shouldn't be killed, and you can't bring people back to life who shouldn't be alive.
People who deserve to be killed should not live, and people who deserve to live should not be killed. This is a contradictory existence. It is impossible for Xu Zhiqiong to pin his spiritual practice on a certain person or a specific group.
Before learning the art of resurrecting the dead, Xu Zhiqiong could not find a way to improve his cultivation.
Is there no way out?
Isn't there another way out?
Is there another one...
Xu Zhiqiong rushed into Zhonglang Hall to find Xia Hu.
We can talk about spiritual practice later, since we are already immortal anyway.
Another way must be opened up as soon as possible.
After searching all over the Zhonglang Hall, Xu Zhiqiong only found Xia Hu's servant.
"The master went to Qiancheng Kingdom to arrest the villains." The servant was a woman of sixteen or seventeen years old. She was not very old, but she dealt with it very calmly.
"Where did you go to Qiancheng Kingdom?" Xu Zhiqiong asked fiercely.
The servant replied calmly: "I don't know where he went, but my master said that Ma Changshi cannot go to Qiancheng Kingdom."
"Why can't I..." Xu Zhiqiong was stunned for a moment and remembered something.
Without the blood of the Qiancheng Kingdom, if your cultivation reaches above the mortal world, you can no longer go to the Qiancheng Kingdom. This is the rule of the land abandoned by the gods.
Xu Zhiqiong will have to find another way to go to Qiancheng Kingdom in the future, and this way is very difficult to think of.
The lady is too scheming, and I don’t know if her connections are that deep.
Xu Zhiqiong handed over some matters to Lao Chang and Yang Wu, left Qiancheng Punishing Evil Division, and went to Zhuyuan City.
When they arrived at the inn, Xu Zhiqiong entered Qianniang's room and saw Second Sister Lin lying on the bed, breathless and with a bloodless face.
Xu Zhiqiong was shocked and quickly stepped forward to investigate the situation.
Qianniang was not injured, but her energy was severely depleted and she was on the verge of exhaustion.
Was this a fierce battle with someone?
Xu Zhiqiong's brows gradually wrinkled.
He had told the judges of the Zhuzhou Evil Punishment Department to take more care of Qianniang, but now that Qianniang has exhausted all her energy, those judges have not come to help?
Xu Zhiqiong injected the power of imagery into Qianniang's meridians, Qianniang gradually recovered, and Xu Zhiqiong also discovered the reason.
Qianniang's energy is exhausted, which may not necessarily mean a fierce battle.
He opened the Eyes of Sin and took a look. The clouds on Qianniang's body became much clearer again, and her cultivation level had reached the fifth level.
She got promoted.
The promotion time is uncertain, it should be within one or two days.
The Zhuzhou Punishment Bureau must have asked someone to keep an eye on her nearby, but a girl just didn't go out, so the judge didn't detect anything unusual, which is reasonable.
After being harmonized by the power of imagery, Qianniang gradually regained consciousness. Xu Zhiqiong found some hot food for her, and she recovered nearly half of her health in half a day.
"Xu Lang, I feel that I have learned a lot about my cultivation." Although she was still weak, Qianniang still smiled when she saw Xu Zhiqiong, and her dimpled smile was still sweet.
Xu Zhiqiong asked: "Have you heard the instructions from the ancestor?"
Qianniang shook her head and said: "That's not true. I just followed Xu Lang's instructions and studied each skill carefully. When I studied the sixth skill yesterday, I suddenly felt that my meridians were clear. The more I studied, the more proficient I became.
Maybe I didn't exercise restraint, and my energy dissipated too quickly, and my body suddenly couldn't hold it up anymore, so I fell asleep and fell asleep for a whole day and a night."
Xu Zhiqiong let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he came back in time.
This is the first time Xu Zhiqiong has seen a famous cultivator being promoted after learning about this sect.
Not to mention Xu Zhiqiong, even Qianniang completed a real promotion for the first time.
Before this, the famous Taoist sect was chaotic and vague, with almost no concept of grade. Qianniang could not find the direction at all in her practice, and she could not perceive any obvious improvement and improvement.
This successful promotion gave Xu Zhiqiong a new understanding of famous people.
First of all, what is certain is that the founder of the famous master has revived and the Taoist sect's rank has become clear.
Secondly, according to Qianniang's description, famous masters are a typical practice system, and the practice process is a typical water grinding process.
Water grinding skills are good, but what Qianniang needs to do is to continue to polish her previous techniques and learn new ones at the same time.
Who do you learn key new techniques from?
According to Qianniang's description, Lin Ruoxue was not a famous cultivator. After her father passed away, it seemed that Qianniang was the only famous cultivator in the world.
You still have to find a way to find the ancestor for guidance.
Qianniang made up her mind: "Xu Lang, after this errand is taken care of, I will go to work in the old land and learn from my ancestor."
Xu Zhiqiong agreed to go and meet the famous patriarch and ask him if he had any means of bringing the dead back to life.
After sleeping all night, at dawn the next day, Qianniang had a layer of oil on her body.
Practitioners of the Killing Way, Hegemony, Confucianism, Yin and Yang, etc. will all be in similar situations after promotion. This is a major feature of the practice system.
Qianniang felt that her body was dirty and she was very ashamed. She wanted to get some hot water and scrub it, but she was too weak to walk.
Xu Zhiqiong saw her thoughts and asked the waiter to boil water and bring it to the room. Xu Zhiqiong personally served Qianniang to wash herself.
Qianniang refused to agree at first, not only because she was afraid that Xu Lang would see her, but also because she was afraid that Xu Lang would see her covered in oil and make fun of her.
Xu Zhiqiong did not smile, but scrubbed every inch, inch by inch, very seriously.
But while scrubbing behind him, Xu Zhiqiong suddenly exclaimed: "Mother Qian, not only do you have dimples on your face, you also have dimples on your fat peach balls!"
When Qianniang heard this, her face was so hot that the water could be evaporated.
Xu Zhiqiong said very proudly: "I wrote a folk song myself, saying that fat peaches have dimples on their balls. Some people didn't believe it, and I couldn't convince them either!
If anyone doesn’t believe it from now on, I will take out this peach and have a look. Can such a handsome dimple be invisible?"
Qianniang trembled and said, "Xu Lang, who do you want to show it to?"
Xu Zhiqiong thought for a moment and patted his forehead.
Why would you show someone else your girl's peach?
What's wrong with me? Why are my thoughts often out of control?
Is this the result of divine infiltration?
Xu Zhiqiong thought of Xue Yun's state. When he was serious, he was an upright hero. If he went crazy, he would be an unreasonable existence.
He is often crazy, is it also due to his divinity?
…
Two days later, Qianniang recovered five or six points.
The mountains and rivers in Zhuzhou are quite beautiful, and it happened to be late spring, so the scenery was just right. Xu Zhiqiong took Qianniang on a sightseeing tour, all the way to Baixiang Spring.
Baixiang Spring is the most famous hot spring in Zhuzhou. The hot springs flow down from the mountains. Each store brings cold springs, adjusts the temperature, and then sends them to the store's large and small spring pools.
In Huazhou, such hot springs can be found everywhere, but in Zhuzhou there is only one. Xu Zhiqiong booked an upper room with a private courtyard and a spring pool in the courtyard.
After spending two days soaking in the hot spring at the store, Qianniang carefully studied the techniques, and Xu Zhiqiong carefully studied Qianniang's dimples.
The one on the left is deeper, the one on the right is shallower, the one in the middle...
The mountain flowers are blooming just in time, and Qianniang wants to go for a walk in the mountains.
The source of the hot spring is in the middle of the mountain, gurgling and rolling with heat waves.
Qianniang saw the source of the hot spring for the first time. Out of curiosity, she wanted to go up and have a look.
Xu Zhiqiong pulled her back. According to his perception, the spring water must be 80 degrees, and the rocks next to it can boil eggs. Qianniang's body has not fully recovered. If she falls on this rock, she may be injured.
Qianniang was feeling regretful when she suddenly saw a group of seven or eight-year-old children walking barefoot on the rocks near the spring.
The rock was not far from the spring, and the dolls' feet were burned red. Almost every doll had blisters on their soles. Each of them had tears in their eyes, but did not dare to cry. They walked slowly on the rock.
Qianniang asked in surprise: "What are you going to do without scalding the child?"
An old man, about sixty or seventy years old, wearing a long robe and thick-soled boots, stood next to the spring.
There were three men and three women, aged between twenty and fifty, all wearing thick-soled boots, following behind the old man.
The old man looked cold as he watched the children walking on the stone slabs. When the children came to him, a middle-aged woman shouted: "Kneel down!"
Dozens of dolls knelt on the stone slab.
There were many tourists on the mountain, and they all came to watch the excitement. One man frowned and said, "What are you doing? Why do we Xuan people still learn to kneel down?"
A young scholar next to him laughed and said: "Foreigners, please speak with caution. Do you know who these children are kneeling to?"
The man was surprised and said: "No matter who he is, our ministers will not kneel down! Even when Liang Daguan's family comes, he will not kneel down!"
The scholar shook his head and said: "They are kneeling to a saint, Mr. Rongku, but you have never heard of his name?"
"Rongku?" The man blinked, "Is this from the Mo family? The Mo family cultivates the righteous way, and they don't abuse people like this and force them to kneel down."
This man has some knowledge. He knows that the Mohist master is Kuji Hanxing, and he associates Rongku and Kuji together.
The scholar sneered: "What the Mohists learned are all craftsmen's techniques. These are all mediocre techniques, so why are they worth mentioning?
Mr. Rongku is a true saint in the world, and what he teaches is the highest, most true, and most enlightened principles in the world. How can he be compared to the Mohists and other low-minded people?"
The man was confused: "Do you mean to make people kneel down?"
The scholar frowned and said: "They deserve this suffering. It is for their own good. These children can become Mr. Rongku's disciples and be tempered by Mr. Rongku. It is their blessing. Don't you
Understand the reason and stop talking nonsense here."
The middle-aged woman shouted again: "Li!"
Dozens of children kneeling on the stone slab kowtowed to Mr. Rongku.
With their foreheads touching the hot stone, the children wanted to cry, but they didn't dare.
Mr. Rongku looked at each child. Without his instructions, the children could not raise their heads.
He sighed softly and said: "You can only become a master after suffering the most hardships. These rocks are steamed by hot springs day and night. Have you ever heard the rocks cry out in pain?
Now that you are in hardship, don't forget the kindness you have received from me, and don't forget the fundamentals of etiquette. If you hone yourself in this way, you will be able to achieve great things in the future!"
He just kept the children kneeling.
People around him pointed at him, but Mr. Rongku looked indifferent and ignored them, as if he had transcended the mortal world and was no longer in the world.
The scholar who was watching sighed with emotion: "This is grinding, this is tempering, this is the hardship of becoming a great thing and a great weapon!"
Xu Zhiqiong turned invisible, quietly came behind Mr. Rongku, and passed a sentence into his mind: "Are you a descendant of the Holy Ancestor?"
Mr. Rongku was no longer calm, nodded repeatedly, and shouted loudly: "Yes!"
This shocked everyone, including the scholar, who didn't know why Mr. Rongku suddenly lost his composure.
Xu Zhiqiong said again: "Leave quickly and don't attract attention. At midnight tonight, bring all your subordinates and come here to find me."
"Yes!" Mr. Rongku shouted again.
No one knows why Mr. Rongku was so startled, not even the subordinates around him knew the reason.
But I saw Mr. Rong Ku clearing his throat and saying to everyone: "Yes, it's time. Today's lecture is over. You can leave later."
A group of children were relieved and followed the three men and three women out of the hot spring.
The man who was watching the excitement spat: "You have to let your child suffer so much just to listen to his two bullshit words?"
The scholar snorted and said: "If you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening. How can you, a common man, know the truth?"
Most people really don't understand the reason.
Bullying the weak, torturing the good, and then telling a lot of nonsense.
This is the symbol of Nufu Cult.
No matter what kind of cover it is, it can't stop the stench of the Nufu Sect.
