Pu Le walked into the Fushan Hall all the way, and the surrounding pilgrims gave way to salute and say hello. In addition to presiding over the opening ceremony, Pu Le also participated in some public sacrificial activities in the Taoist temple from time to time, and often showed his face in front of the people of Gaoyang. Among the people of Gaoyang City, Pu Le
It has a high reputation.
Pu Le came to the window naturally and took a vegetarian meal, the same bowl of white porridge, two yellow buns, and a plate of pickles, without any preferential treatment.
Come and sit down at a long table on the east side of the inner hall. This location is very obvious and can be seen from everywhere in the inner hall.
Pu Le took a bite of yellow steamed bun, picked up pickles with chopsticks, and drank a mouthful of white porridge. He behaved naturally and generously, looking very calm.
Pilgrims everywhere were secretly looking at Pu Le. The immortal master was eating the same vegetarian meal as them, and the food was so delicious. The more he noticed that Pu Le had the solemnity of a Taoist master.
A few tables behind Pu Le were occupied by Taoist priests dining in the Taoist temple. Meng Shengming was sitting among them, with his head slightly lowered, chewing on the yellow bun in his hand. It tasted like chewing wax, but he did not dare to show his disgust, pretending to be calm.
, slightly frowning, showing the helplessness in the heart.
Gaoyang Taoist Temple stipulates that Taoists in the temple, whether they are ordinary secular Taoist priests from the outer sect or Taoist priests who are disciples of the sect, must go to the Fushan Hall to dine with the pilgrims during meal time.
The same applies to the fast food. To establish a Taoist temple's approachable image, there should be no leftovers in the fast food, and no strange look should be shown during the meal. Violators will be severely punished by the sect.
Pu Le gnawed on the tasteless yellow buns, thinking about the sects in the world, trying every means to develop followers, is it just for the Qingke Dan? Pu Le always felt that it was not that simple, and the senior officials of the sect must be hiding something from him.
Meng Shengming endured the discomfort and finished the vegetarian meal in front of him. He had eaten all kinds of delicacies in the past few days, and he couldn't adapt to the boring vegetarian meal when he returned to the Taoist temple.
"Brother Meng, come to my little brother's house tonight." He Zheng passed by Meng Shengming's table and whispered.
Meng Shengming nodded in response, indicating that he understood. The two of them did not dare to speak too much. It is a stipulation in the temple that no words should be spoken when eating and no talking should be done when sleeping! No whispering is allowed during meals.
He Zheng, an eighth-level Qi practitioner with dual spiritual roots of fire and earth, is the sixth young master of the He family and is a key training target of the He family. He studied under Taoist Changshan, Zheng Changxin.
He Zheng is also Meng Shengming's good friend, and Meng Shengming is the one who wants to fawn over.
At Xu time, Gaoyang Taoist Temple closed its doors and no longer received pilgrims. Meng Shengming took off his Taoist robe and put on casual clothes. After leaving the Taoist temple, He Zheng was sitting on a carriage waiting for him not far away.
"Brother Meng, is your sister okay?" He Zheng chatted with Meng Shengming for a while and couldn't help but ask.
"Yi Ming, she stays at home and learns some pre-marriage etiquette. Don't worry, Brother He, when the time comes, you can marry her back. Don't bully Yi Ming then." Meng Shengming said with a smile.
"Brother Meng, you are joking. You don't know what kind of person I am, but I will definitely not let down sister Yiming." He Zheng replied quickly, with Meng Yiming's slender figure floating in his mind.
He Zheng's anxious inquiry made Meng Shengming feel at ease, and all his efforts were not in vain. He was the one who facilitated the marriage between He Zheng and Meng Yiming.
First, in the name of fun, He Zheng was invited to visit the Meng family in Pinghu County. Then Meng Yiming was specially arranged to take He Zheng around to create opportunities for the two of them to be alone.
After returning to Gaoyang City, Meng Shengming told He Zheng that his sister Yiming had a crush on him and deliberately lied to test He Zheng.
Within a few days of being a guest of the Meng family, He Zheng also had some affection for this gentle and beautiful young lady of the Meng family, but it was difficult to express it. Hearing what Meng Shengming said, his heart became happy, and He Zheng became more and more fond of this gentle and beautiful lady of the Meng family.
Home visits to propose marriage.
The carriage slowly stopped, the two got out of the car and walked towards the mansion.
The He Mansion is extremely large, with houses in blocks of green bricks and red tiles. The He family has many members and is extremely prosperous. The two passed through a winding and spacious corridor lined with lifelike rockeries, and finally arrived at a gorgeous wing room. The house is next to the artificial inner lake. Looking out from the window, there are several painted boats with red lights on the lake, and the crisp sound of silk and bamboo can be faintly heard.
The prosperity of the He family can be seen from the luxury of the He family. The current head of the He family, He Nan, has cultivated in the middle stage of foundation building. There are many cultivators in the family, and there are more than 20 people who have reached the late stage of Qi training, which is one person.
A distinguished family in cultivation.
The He family raises nearly thirty Gaoyang blood donkeys in a valley outside Gaoyang City. Gaoyang blood donkeys were domesticated from the third-level spiritual beast "Wild Blood Donkey" and are tall and strong.
Wilderness blood donkeys have a bad temper, are fast, and are highly aggressive. However, the domesticated Gaoyang blood donkeys are extremely docile and have basically lost their aggressiveness.
The He family relies on raising Gaoyang blood donkeys, which has been passed down to this day for more than 2,000 years.
When it comes to spiritual beasts, what usually comes to mind is spiritual meat, which can assist spiritual practice and enhance cultivation after consumption. The He family raises Gaoyang blood donkeys, not for slaughtering and eating meat, nor for being used as mounts because of their fast speed. The He family raises donkeys with high yang blood for "donkey blood". After a period of time, each donkey with high yang blood will have its blood vessels cut open, and 30% of the body's blood and essence will be released.
The essence and blood of spirit beasts has many uses. It needs to be used in refining weapons, making talismans, elixirs, and formations. It is an extensive basic spiritual material, especially for making talismans. The essence and blood of spirit beasts is almost an indispensable spiritual material.<
/p>
To make talismans in the world of cultivation, first prepare the talisman paper, then write and draw spells, runes, and normal lines on the talisman paper, and then pour spiritual power into it to complete the production of the talisman.
The most important step in success or failure is to write and draw spells, runes, and magic threads on the talisman paper. The raw materials used for calligraphy and painting in the world of cultivation are almost always the blood of spirit animals.
Because the essence and blood of spirit beasts is liquid, it contains extremely strong spiritual power and has excellent spiritual power transmission properties, so it is the perfect material for making talismans.
Spirit beast essence blood is not cinnabar. You can get as much as you want. The quantity circulating in the market is not large, and it is very expensive. One bottle costs thousands of spirit stones.
At that time, the ancestors of the He family found a mutated wild blood donkey and domesticated it at home to obtain the first-generation blood donkey. After generations of improvements by the tribe, the famous Gaoyang blood donkey was formed.
The high-yang blood donkey has abundant qi and blood and strong recovery ability. After bleeding once, it will recover quickly and can be bled again after resting for a period of time.
It is precisely because of nearly thirty high-yang blood donkeys and such hematopoietic tools that the He family can achieve its current status.
Meng Shengming worked hard to make friends with He Zheng and promote the marriage between the two families. First, for the sake of family interests, he wanted to find a backer for the Meng family. Second, for his own planning, he could obtain spirit beast essence and blood from He Zheng at a low price.
Meng Shengming's master, Taoist Jinshan, was an expert in making talismans. He discovered that Meng Shengming had a good talent for making talismans. Taoist Jinshan was determined to train Meng Shengming and teach him how to make talismans.
Therefore, Meng Shengming has been working hard to practice the skills of making talismans. When he first started to learn how to make talismans, the raw material used for drawing talismans was cinnabar, and the drawings were all inferior talismans. He practiced the techniques.
