Lu Sheng sat down again, feeling that this empire was really almost hopeless.
It's like an old man with a serious illness was beaten by a few strong men with hammers.
He only has half a breath left to die.
"Where is Shenwu General Zhu Chengguo now?" He took a deep breath and asked again.
"General Shenwu is still suppressing the Zhaoyi tribe in the north. Just now came the good news that King Zhaoyi died in battle." Mi Gong shook his head slightly. "But if you want to return, I'm afraid it will take at least twenty days."
This is when General Shenhun rides on a special chariot.
"If the sky falls, there are experts who can carry it. Let's ignore this for now. Is there any news about Master Wuyouzi?" After Lu Sheng calmed down for a while, he quickly turned back to the key issue.
"We have observed that Wuyouzi sent flying pigeons to send messages back, but I can't tell you what the specific reaction was." Mi Gong shook his head slightly.
There was no news, so Lu Sheng could only wait. He waved his hand for Mi Gong to go out, and he sat down again minding his own business.
Time waits for no one, so no wonder he is so urgent. The cause and effect this time is to save the entire empire. The situation is so big that even Lu Sheng does not dare to say that he is sure.
The city where Prince Yue's Mansion is located is a medium-sized city called Dixuan. There are six fortresses erected around Dixuan, all of which are heavily stocked with troops.
In the days after Lu Sheng, he looked around at the soldiers in the fortress, but couldn't find anything special about them. They were just like ordinary soldiers.
Fortunately, Wuyouzi came back soon.
But he didn't come alone, but came back with a tall, thin old man in a blue robe.
The old man came to the door and looked at Lu Sheng for three days. Then he turned around and left without saying a word.
Lu Sheng didn't understand what was going on, but he immediately received a Qinghe Dao disciple certificate from Wuyouzi, inviting him to visit the Qinghe Dao main sect.
Lu Sheng happily agreed.
*************
Qingteng Mountain, Qinghe Road Mountain Gate.
Several green Taoist temples are connected together to form all the mountain gates of Qinghe Road.
In the Zhongzhong Taoist Temple, the current leader Long Hezhi was sitting by the chessboard with a helpless expression, unable to put down the chess pieces in his hands, and was looking at the two junior brothers and sisters who hurried over.
"Why didn't Senior Brother, the head of the family, explain such a big matter to us in advance and not explain it clearly until now?" The female Taoist nun looked ugly and said, "For a prince of the royal family, even if he is allowed to practice, what use will it be?"
"Junior sister, what you said is wrong. Our Qinghe Dao has been developing well in recent years. If we didn't rely on ordinary disciples from the outside to send back various resources, we wouldn't be able to survive this time." The leader Long Hezhi shook his head and said.
"This cannot be used as a reason for you to break the ancestral rules!" Another person said with a cold look.
"Actually, it's not as troublesome as you think. The Taoist sect doesn't care about our small sect at all. Sect tests and other things, if the prince is scared away, it will be more than the gain is worth the loss!" Long Hezhi said calmly.
"But you can't be completely reserved at all? You can give me the status of a disciple as long as you ask for it. Is it possible that you really want to teach him the magic?"
The head junior sister was furious.
"Of course I want to pass it on, but I have to wait until his character is polished and clear." The leader nodded. "Let's talk about it, the main scriptures and supplementary scriptures are all for raising cranes. Even if it is given to ordinary people, there may not be anyone interested.
A prince of a royal family can only feel fresh and enthusiastic for a while, but after this period it will be nothing."
"But"
"Here we come!" Suddenly the leader, Long Hezhi, stood up, threw away the chess pieces in his hand, straightened his clothes, and strode out of the door.
Follow the courtyard of the gate, bypass the incense burner, and come to the gate.
There were already two boys leading them through the door.
One is Wuyouzi, whom everyone recognizes, and the other is a young man with a dignified appearance and a touch of nobility in his temperament.
Both of them were wearing gray robes. As soon as Wuyouzi saw the leader, he immediately pulled the other person over to salute.
"Disciple Wuyou, see the leader."
"I'm Huang Jing. I heard that there is a real immortal in Qinghe Road, so I came here to ask for advice." Lu Sheng took a step forward and said loudly with his fists clasped.
As he spoke, he stood in front of the mountain gate and looked at the three people who came over.
I heard Wuyouzi mention it before that in Qinghe Dao, there are only three branches that can be truly considered orthodox, one for the leader, one for the second master uncle Bo Ruqing, and one branch for the third master uncle Zheng Qingjian.
He, Wuyouzi, studied under Zheng Qingjian, but because his mind was not round enough and he practiced the White Feather Sutra, he could only stand still for so many years.
As soon as Lu Sheng entered the door, he immediately recognized the three masters of this small sect.
The leader, Long Hezhi, is an old man with a long beard and a bald forehead. He looks miserable.
The second uncle is as cool as a flower, but his lips are thin and the corners of his eyes are slanted, giving him a mean and unapproachable temperament.
The third uncle, Zheng Qingjian, had a kind face. He was holding his beard and stroking himself with a smile.
"Your Majesty, Prince Yue, is polite. How can a person from outside the world call me the Prince for advice? If you don't give up, the Crown Prince can join the old man's sect." Unexpectedly, the first person to speak was the Third Master's Uncle Zheng Qingjian.
.
Lu Sheng looked at the leader Long Hezhi.
"No, junior brother has to train cranes on weekdays. It would be better for me to teach the prince Taoism personally." Long Hezhi said seriously.
"How can this be done? Senior brother is dealing with many things every day, and Taoist cultivation also requires a lot of time and energy. The White Feather Sutra is at a critical moment. If it affects the breakthrough," Zheng Qingjian shook his head.
"Stop talking, it's best to follow me. I am the most attentive to my disciples. In addition, I have accepted some similar disciples from famous families in my early years, so I have some experience." Bo Ruqing intervened.
"" Lu Sheng stood at the door and watched the three of them fighting for each other. Wuyouzi was speechless at the side.
But Wuyouzi warned Lu Sheng about this kind of thing on the way.
Compared with other sects, Qinghe Dao is not like a Taoist sect at all, but more like a business. If anyone can become the teacher of Prince Yue Prince, then there will definitely be a steady stream of filial piety, cultivation, and enjoyment of life in Prince Yue Palace.
, both are too comfortable.
Although the second uncle and the third uncle do not agree with hastily accepting disciples for fear of ruining the reputation of the Taoist sect, there is no saying that when it comes to the critical moment of accepting disciples, it is better to act first.
After some bargaining between the three of them, Long Hezhi finally, as the leader, got the priority for Lu Sheng to become his disciple.
The three people quickly directed the Taoist boy and other Taoists and began to collect things needed for the apprenticeship ceremony in front of the incense burner in the courtyard.
At this moment, a cry of the Qingyue Crane came from mid-air.
A group of white cranes slowly flapped their wings and flew slowly over the gym. Together with the white mist in the mountains, it looked even more fairy-like.
Long Hezhi had already heard of Lu Sheng's request, hoping to see some real Taoist skills. As the person with the highest cultivation level among the three masters, although the Baiyu Sutra had no Taoist skills, he could still perform one or two ordinary Taoist skills.
of.
Seeing the white crane flying, he suddenly raised his fly whisk and said loudly.
"There is a new junior brother starting today, Yue He, why don't you come down and meet the junior brother?"
Lu Sheng was slightly startled and looked around. Except for some ordinary Taoist priests wearing gray robes around him, there were no other newcomers around.
Just when he was doubtful, there was a sudden chirp in the sky, and a white shadow flew down, landing lightly in front of everyone.
Astonishingly, it was a huge white crane two meters high.
The white crane's eyes were lively, and it stood there as if it were a human being, not just a bird. It spread its slender and straight legs, walked slowly on the stone slab for a few steps, then turned its head and used its long pointed beak to remove the bird from itself.
He pulled off a feather from his armpit and handed it to Lu Sheng.
"Take it, this is a meeting gift from Yue He to you." Long Hezhi said calmly.
Lu Sheng looked at Feather, then at Bai He, stretched out his hand to pinch Feather solemnly, and then bowed slightly to Bai He with his hands clasped together.
"Thank you, senior brother."
"You should call me Senior Sister." Long Hezhi corrected.
"Okay, thank you, Senior Sister Yuehe." Lu Sheng nodded.
"The white feathers of Yuehe have the effect of calming the mind and purifying the mind. You can use it to calm your mind when you are studying, practicing martial arts, and practicing this scripture." Third Master Uncle Zheng Qingjian reminded.
Lu Sheng nodded and thanked his third uncle.
There are only three leaders in the entire Qinghe Dao, and there are fifteen official disciples. Most of them are not on the mountain, but are practicing in seclusion on various hills.
In fact, spiritual practice is to herd the flocks of white cranes.
After that came the formal apprenticeship ceremony, in which the Taoist mark of Qinghe Tao was carved on his arm, indicating that Lu Sheng had become a member of Qinghe Tao from now on.
After completely entering the door, Long Hezhi was still going to put on a show and let Lu Sheng go back and polish his Taoist heart.
But after Lu Sheng presented him with five thousand taels of tattooed silver, his Taoist heart immediately became much more complete.
So I had to pass on the Qinghe Zhenfa, the most basic of our sect’s Zhenfa.
This mental method has only three levels. There is no realm division, no distinction between superior and inferior.
The three levels are just barely divided into three steps: entry, mastery, and completion.
The only difference between this formation method among the sects is that Qinghe Zhenfa is like an internal skill and mental method. The deeper the skill, the higher the realm.
After Lu Sheng received the faxed method, he was told to practice well. While polishing the Taoist mind, practicing this true method can make people's ears and eyes clear, their bodies as light as swallows, as light as white cranes, and they can resist most diseases.
Because the method is extremely simple and requires long-term practice to be effective, Lu Sheng lived in the Taoist temple for a few days after obtaining the method, and then returned to the palace with Wuyouzi.
As for the core of the sect, the White Feather Scripture, it is the supreme true method that can only be taught after the Taoist heart is completely perfected.
It is truly one of the true scriptures of Taoism and cannot be ambiguous.
On the way back, Wuyouzi carefully and continuously taught Lu Sheng that before the Taoist heart is polished and perfected, once you practice the true Taoist scriptures, your life will most likely be in danger.
Lu Sheng didn't insist. He was satisfied that he could get the Qinghe True Dharma this time.
From the Qinghe Zhenfa, he roughly glimpsed the direction of the power of Taoism in this world.
What is emphasized here is the unity of heaven and man, blending with nature, using the power of heaven, earth and the universe to absorb the parts that are beneficial to oneself, eliminate the harmful parts from the body, excrete the old, absorb the new, and metabolize.
Thereby reaching the ultimate powerful state of living as long as heaven and earth.
What this Qinghe Zhenfa emphasizes is concentrating the mind and calming the energy, and looking inward at an organ within oneself called the eye element.
According to the true Dharma, this inner vision is called infusing the spirit, infusing one's own spirit into this eye element.
The most bizarre thing is that this eye element is not inside the body, but at the vertical intersection of the person's chin and chest.
The eye element is basically in the void outside the body.
Lu Sheng's previous skills were either to work on his physical body, or to directly visualize his spirit and condense his will. This was the first time that he applied force to a position outside his body.
