Chapter 12 Opening the Bronze Mirror, Xu Taiping listened to the lecture for the first time
"Snapped!"
Then, Fairy Lingyue reached out and pointed at the center of the Elephant Ghost's eyebrows, drawing a rune on the center of his eyebrows with a ray of milky white light.
When the rune sank into the center of the demon's eyebrows, the demon stood up with a blank expression, then turned a blind eye to Fairy Lingyue in front of him, turned around and left, minding his own business and said:
"Why did I fall here? That's all. Let's go back and meet the king. When we see the king, we will tell him that there is another young monk in charge of the medicine garden in Qingzhu Residence. We can wait until he has the medicine garden.
Come back when the elixir inside is mature, and then take his life and the elixir from the garden together. Then the king may even reward me with a piece of fresh heart and liver, how beautiful, how beautiful!"
At the end of the sentence, the demon couldn't help but shake his head, obviously very satisfied with his strategy.
"Well, although letting the tiger return to the mountain is a very risky thing, I still hope that Xiao Taiping can understand the teacher's good intentions in the future."
Fairy Lingyue looked at the ghost that shook its head and left and murmured to herself.
Although Xu Taiping has not yet been asked to become a disciple, and it is not known whether Xu Taiping is willing to become a disciple, this does not prevent Fairy Lingyue from assuming the role of master.
But she would definitely not admit that the main reason for doing this was that she was too lonely after staying in the Ksitigarbha fruit for hundreds of years and wanted to have fun.
…
The next day.
Xu Taiping got up early.
He first went to the medicine garden to clean up the weeds, and then added a few shovels of soil to the place where the Ksitigarbha fruit was buried. After all, for him, the Ksitigarbha fruit will be a major support for him to gain a foothold in the spiritual world in the future, but he can't
Let someone steal it.
After Fairy Lingyue returned to the Ksitigarbha Fruit last night, she never appeared again. Xu Taiping thought that it might take several months for her to come out.
After clearing the weeds in the medicinal garden, he
I spent a whole morning tidying up the three thatched houses in Qingzhuju.
The environment of the thatched house is very simple, with only one bedroom with a bed, a main room, a kitchen, and a toilet built behind the medicine garden.
While cleaning the kitchen, Xu Taiping discovered two very interesting things - a water vat that wouldn't dry out even after scooping it out, and a rice vat that could produce a vat of rice just by throwing in a merit coin.
With water, rice, and a piece of dried fish hanging on the wall, Xu Taiping had his first meal when he came to Qingxuanzong.
After eating, he made the bed with the sheets and quilts in the cabinet, then sat cross-legged on the bed and took out the jade slip and bronze mirror given by Xifeng Pavilion earlier.
"When Fairy Lingyue gave me the recipe for the marrow-cleansing and bone-cutting soup, she touched it gently between my eyebrows. The method of imparting the jade slip is also to place it between my eyebrows. This should be the general method of imparting exercises in the world of cultivation."
He picked up the jade slip and whispered something in a low voice.
According to the pavilion master of Xifeng Pavilion, this jade slip contains a Qi-refining method of Qingxuan Sect, as well as many rules of Qingxuan Sect and instructions on the use of the bronze mirror.
"Huh... the things coming from this jade slip are much more than Fairy Lingyue's finger."
Feeling the words that kept pouring out of his mind, Xu Taiping felt dizzy and almost fell off the bed.
Fortunately, it didn't take long before new words stopped popping up in his mind, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
But he immediately discovered another problem.
The words that entered his mind were like books on a bookshelf
The volume is average and you need to flip through it to see and understand the content inside.
"So the method of teaching Qigong on this jade slip is somewhat different from the method taught to me by Fairy Lingyue. Fairy Lingyue's fingers directly let me know how to prepare the medicine according to the prescription, but this jade slip can only stuff these things.
Into my head."
Xu Taiping felt the difference between the two carefully.
"However, it is also possible that the difference is due to different content."
He immediately added another sentence in his mind, and then stopped worrying about it and calmed down to read the lines of text in his mind little by little.
…
Three days later. .??.
It took almost three days for Xu Taiping to finally read all the contents in the jade slips.
As the master of the Xifeng Pavilion said before, there are three main contents in the jade slips - one "Canxia Jing", one volume "Summary of the Functions of Xuanjing", and one "Qingxuan Zong Code of Laws".
During this period, he also dug up the land in the medicine garden while "reading".
…
"According to the method taught in the jade slips, after digging the ground, you can pick up some wild animal dung and dead branches and leaves to burn the soil and fertilize the land."
"But there is no need to rush into this step. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. It is the day when Elder Ziyang lectures on scriptures. What he talks about is the "Canxia Sutra" and the basis for monks to get started. It only happens once every three months, so you must not miss it."
"After listening to the lecture, I can choose the seeds I want to buy in the bronze mirror, so that I don't waste that merit coin."
While eating alone in the main room, Xu Taiping began to think about what he had to do today, and then he tore off a page from the almanac on the wall.
A page of the almanac was torn open, revealing the "first day of the lunar calendar"
"One", and on the side of the annotation there is also a line of small words written in red ink such as "it is advisable to study, avoid disturbing the earth".
He bought this together yesterday when he summoned a spiritual bird to help him buy daily necessities. It cost him six merit coins in total, which made him feel distressed for a while.
…
After eating, go back to the bedroom.
Xu Taiping took out the bronze mirror from the box and carefully placed it on a broken table in front of him.
At this time, on the table, in addition to the bronze mirror, there was half a bowl of water, a few flower petals and a Qingxuan Sect's merit coin.
Xu Taiping thought about how to use the bronze mirror, then dipped his hand into the bowl with some water and dripped it on the bronze mirror, and then put a few petals and the merit coin on it.
"call……"
Almost at the moment when he placed the merit coin on the bronze mirror, a gust of breeze suddenly blew out from the bronze mirror, and there was also a faint scent of sandalwood in the wind.
Immediately afterwards, a voice came from the bronze mirror:
"Xu Taiping, a registered disciple of Qingxuan Sect's outer sect, is sitting down. Don't go away. Elder Ziyang will start teaching the scriptures immediately. If you miss it today, you will have to wait another three months."
Xu Taiping, who had fully read the contents of the jade slip, was not frightened by the voice, because it was mentioned in the volume "Summary of the Functions of the Mysterious Mirror" that this was the voice of the spirit of the Mysterious Mirror.
According to the "Minutes of the Functions of the Mysterious Mirror", the spirit of the Mysterious Mirror is like a guide who can help you find what you want to see in the bronze mirror.
Of course, except for the forbidden areas of Qingxuanzong, and every time you "show the way", you will need a merit coin.
"Thank you, Master Xuanjing."
Xu Taiping thanked him.
The spirit of Xuanjing is not completely dead, so in his opinion it is very necessary to say thank you.
