Chapter 40: The Question of the Formation of Pills of the Mongols
When passing by the treasure building, he heard the noise of people inside, and Zhao Ran turned around and went in to take a closer look. The treasure building is divided into three floors. The first floor is similar to an exhibition room, the second floor stores various magical instruments and talismans, and the third floor
The treasures in the tower are all treasures and important items, such as Wuji Diagram, Lingfei Liujia Suzuo Alchemy Cauldron, Bagua Purple Jade Alchemy Furnace, Green Feather Wings, as well as wax snow and cold plums brought by Zhao Liniang, Songxuezhi Book Stele, and Daoyuan Seal.
wait.
The first floor is open, not only to disciples, but also to friends who come to pay homage to the mountain. Rare antiquities such as "The Biography of Immortal Master Lou Guan" are displayed inside as a memorial for future generations to commemorate the sages.
.
The second and third floors were sealed by Jiang Tenghe with a talisman formation, making it impossible to go up without permission.
The noise was coming from the first floor. When Zhao Ran entered, he saw Feng Tang taking six new disciples on a tour. These disciples were all recruited from Songfan County and Yongzhen County at the beginning of the year and belonged to the second floor.
The fourth batch of three generations.
Counting this group, Lou Guan and Wen Qing Sect combined, the third generation disciples of Zong Sheng Hall have reached 20, and all the young people of suitable age in Songfan area have also completed the selection. In two years, they will start again.
Starting from Hongyuan County, a new round of screening for young people of appropriate age will continue.
Feng Tang, who is the second senior brother of the third generation of Lou Guan, was explaining a framed manuscript and hung it on the wall: "The Great Master Tongwei Manifestation ascended in Wudang in July of the 22nd year of Jiajing. What you see
This manuscript is the speech that Da Zhen made to thank the congratulators on the first night. I can tell you juniors that the first half of this speech was written by our junior uncle Lou Guan..."
Zhao Ran couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
Feng Tang looked up and saw Zhao Ran, and hurried over: "Little uncle!"
Zhao Ran asked: "Where is your master?"
"I went to Wenqing Valley to visit Uncle Lin two hours ago, but I don't know about it at the moment."
Zhao Ran nodded: "You continue." He turned around and went straight to Wenqing Valley, but at the entrance of the valley he bumped into Wei Zhizhen and Qingyi Taoist who were walking out together.
After explaining the situation and saying goodbye, the Taoist priest in Qingyi took out a magic talisman from the side and handed it to Zhao Ran: "This is the rootless and flowerless talisman refined by the ancestor of the family. It is the seventh level. Zhiran takes it for self-defense."
Zhao Ran immediately recognized it. This was exactly the kind of seventh-level defensive talisman that Zhang Laodao put on his forehead when he and Zhang Laodao came to capture the Dajun Mountain Cave. This talisman was quite remarkable. Zhao Ran was in the three major unions.
The monks were able to survive during the confrontation with the Six Paths of Reincarnation Formation because of the talisman that Zhang Laodao kept blessing him with.
Zhao Ran was not polite and took it over.
If a powerful monk from the Three Palaces really challenges me, after using the real fire, I can use the seventh-level rootless and flowerless talisman to defend myself, and the sixth-level Huang Tingzong true thunder talisman to injure the enemy. It can be said that it is both offensive and defensive. Just think about it.
They are all worried about their opponents, so they feel confident enough for this trip to the capital.
He also called for the new general manager of Dajun Mountain, the Great Ape, and explained some precautions, and Zhao Ran went down the mountain.
Before leaving, the monkey asked him if he wanted to take Taoist Nangui and Shen Jiangzi with him. Zhao Ran hesitated for a moment and then refused. He was going to the capital to study. The capital was not as good as Songfan, and the spirit demon was not as good as the monks. So he took these two there.
, Where to live? What to eat? It’s all trouble, and there is no guarantee that it will cause any trouble. Anyway, the communication is smooth, and when needed, just send a flying talisman to call over. As for weekdays, it is better for everyone to keep a low profile.
In the spring and summer of the year before last, Zhao Ran came down from Lushan Mountain and bought a boat. On the way, he was touched by the scenery of the river and was inspired by it. From then on, he formed a double golden elixir. From then on, he understood that on the road of spiritual practice, "walking"
The saying "A journey of ten thousand miles is like reading ten thousand volumes of books" is equally applicable, so unless he is in an emergency, he usually no longer chooses to take a Lingyan or a flying magic weapon.
This time he went to the capital to attend the Dharma teaching hall. He had plenty of time. He also planned to go all the way down the river and reach the capital in less than ten days. He could also see the scenery and visit old friends along the way.
We first met Da Zhuo and Uncle Xiao Zhuo at the Huayun Pavilion. Zhao Ran invited Zhuo Tengyun to go with him. However, Master Da Zhuo didn't want to leave so early, so Zhao Ran left the mountain gate and went to Wuji Courtyard to meet with Zhuo Tengyun.
Meet each other.
Seeing Zhu Meng's frown, Zhao Ran smiled and asked, "Junior brothers, what's going on? Is there anything that's bothering you?"
Zhu Meng sighed: "Every time I see Senior Brother Zhao, I feel happy and sad for a while. Every time I break through the realm, I feel like I can sit side by side with you and discuss cultivation. But the next time I see you, I will feel trapped again."
The sadness left behind, such repeated exchanges, is really uncomfortable. I have been in Huangguan for six years, which is normal in theory, but when I think that you and Yumo have been together for several years, I feel very uncomfortable.
good……"
Zhao Ran smiled and said: "It's not good to be obsessed with comparison. It's better to just let nature take its course. Come on, take a deep breath. Senior brother will let you see if there is anything wrong with you."
After checking Zhu Meng's meridians and Qi sea, Zhao Ran said: "There is nothing wrong, the elixir embryo has been solidified, and what is waiting for now is enlightenment. My suggestion is to do more fastings, understand more people's sentiments, and participate in more sermons.
Maybe the opportunity will come."
Zhu Meng shook his head: "I can only do it slowly. I'm afraid that if I do too many of these worldly things, my Taoist mind will be dusted."
Zhao Ran said: "Believe me, it is easy to practice in the secular world." Suddenly he remembered the sighs of the butcher and Rich Master Shen, and thought that maybe Sima could be used as a live horse doctor? So he said: "Well, I will go to the capital to enroll in the Dharma Teaching Hall in half a year.
Come back, if you still haven't found the opportunity for enlightenment, I will discuss with Huayun Pavilion and second you to Songfan as the abbot of a county to try in a different environment."
Zhumeng nodded: "I'm afraid that Huayun Pavilion won't let people go, and there won't be many monks willing to come out and do things."
Zhao Ran said: "This matter is easy to handle. Let's communicate. The Zongsheng Pavilion will communicate with you, and the Huayun Pavilion will communicate with you. There will be no disadvantages in the reciprocal exchange."
Zhu Meng was not among the abbots of the county court in the first round of training this year. After sending Zhao Ran down to Wuji Mountain, he went back to re-draw this year's fasting rituals.
Zhao Ran continued to move forward and turned southeast to enter Tongchuan Prefecture. Pei Zhongze had been waiting for him at the foot of Qingyun Mountain for a long time. He smiled and said: "It's been a long time since we met to travel together. This time we will swim to the capital together and watch the whole journey.
Looking at the mountains and rivers, visiting friends and having a drink, it’s very beautiful when I think about it!”
Zhao Ran asked: "Where is Granny Ye Xing? Are you going with us?"
Pei Zhongze said: "Fei Fu asked her, she wants to go to Guizhou first, and then set off from Guizhou, which is different from ours."
"What kind of approach is this Granny Ye Xing?"
"She's just an ordinary casual cultivator. She's a seventy-year-old old lady. She came out this time purely for the benefits promised by Hengfu Hall and to earn some cultivation resources for her family's descendants."
So the two of them joined together, first entered Yu Mansion, then bought a boat and entered the river, and went down the river.
