The two of them sat cross-legged on the futons on both sides of the small square table. Jia Le did not dare to come near, so he only sat down on the bamboo stool next to him.
Qingqing made tea and walked over to Jia Le and sat down.
"Gulu...!"
The clear tea soup fills the tea cup, and the clear tea water reveals the fragrance that soaks the heart and spleen.
"This is what your master brought to me when he came back from Maoshan. Two years have passed and now he is no longer here."
His eyebrows drooped, with a sad look on his face!
Despite the fact that Simu and Ikkyu start to fight each other when they meet, the two of them are actually Jiao Buli Meng and Meng Buli Jiao's close friends. Otherwise, they wouldn't have lived next to each other for decades.
Now that my old friend has passed away, Master Ikkyu cannot help but be heartbroken even if his xinxing cultivation is extremely high.
"Master, there is no need to be sad. Although my master failed to escape the tribulation, his soul still exists. He is now serving as a warden in the underworld of the City of Wasted Death. If you want to see him, I have a ghost talisman that will allow you to meet my master."
Looking at the magic talisman in Xu Junming's hand, Yixiu's expression froze and he said in shock.
"Didn't your master fail to overcome the tribulation and lose his soul?"
"Who told you?"
Xu Junming couldn't laugh or cry.
Based on the experience of my master and Master Ikkyu falling in love and killing each other for many years, the answer is self-evident.
"Your master...this damn old bastard!"
After Master Ikkyu realized that he had been tricked, his eyes turned blue in anger and he uttered evil words.
He reached out and waved the ghost charm in Xu Junming's hand.
"Qingqing, go bring me a basin of water!"
"No need!"
After stopping Qing Qing who was about to get up, Xu Junming waved his sleeves and robe, and a stone basin grew out of the ground. The water vapor in the air was condensed into a trickle by Xu Junming's Taoist method, and soon the basin was full.
Master Ikkyu, mana activates the ghost charm.
The water basin instantly became as dark as ink, and not long after, the Taoist priest's face with four eyes appeared in it.
"Old bastard... Amitabha, Buddha forgives me."
Master Yixiu was about to scold him, but he quickly came to his senses, chanted the Buddha's name, suppressed his anger, and pointed at the four-eyed Taoist Priest like a sword, with anger on his face.
"Damn it, you actually tricked me!"
"Hahaha, you're a bald bastard and you're stupid, so you blame me!" Taoist Master Four Eyes said proudly.
"Amitabha, I want to break off my friendship with you."
"If we break our relationship, we'll break it off. You think I'm afraid of you!"
"The poor monk wants to break the engagement!"
"Grandmaster!"
"Master!"
Jiale and Qingqing were immediately anxious.
The two have been in love since they were childhood sweethearts.
"Hey, damn monk, do you dare to break the engagement? Do you believe that I will get you down in advance to keep you company with me?"
"You were the one who deceived me first. I can't blame the old monk for breaking his promise!"
"you dare!"
“See if I dare.”…
Seeing the two of them arguing, Xu Junming, who was used to seeing this kind of scene, motioned to Jiale and Qingqing with his eyes, and the three of them walked out together.
"Your name is Qingqing, right?"
"Um!"
"I've always heard this kid Jiale talk about you before."
"I have always heard Master and Uncle Four Eyes mention Senior Brother Junming."
Xu Junming nodded and slapped the gourd.
A pale golden rope and a cyan porcelain bottle flew out.
"This Demon-Subduing Golden Lock, plus three Baiyang Pills, is a gift from me, your senior brother."
"No, senior brother, this is too precious, I can't have it!" Qingqing hurriedly backed away.
Seeing that there was no greed in her eyes, Xu Junming was satisfied.
"Take it. In the ordinary world, when you marry a wife, you must pay a betrothal gift. Now that my master is away, I, the senior brother, can be regarded as the elder of the family. I will naturally pay the betrothal gift for him."
She shyly glanced at her sweetheart beside her, who only knew Silly Joy, and Qingqing nodded.
"Thank you, senior brother!"
"I hope you can get along well with each other in the future and have a son soon."
"Thank you, senior brother!" Jiale said with a silly smile.
Xu Junming nodded with a smile.
"Let's go and sit at Master's place first. The two of them will probably have a chat for a while."
When I came to the room where Simu originally lived, I opened the door and went in. It was still spotless. It was obvious that someone had been cleaning the place frequently.
"You guys sit down first."
Xu Junming stepped into the side room, first burned incense to the ancestor, condensed the wood energy to make a tablet, and engraved the name of the master's four eyes.
After frowning for a while, he stood up and walked out.
The three of them chatted for a while, and then saw Master Yixiu walking in with a smile on his face.
Obviously, he was also happy to see that his old friend was still living well in the underworld.
"Master, my master's joke went too far this time. I will take him to apologize to you."
Xu Junming felt a little helpless when he encountered a master who was not easy to worry about.
Who else but four eyes would dare to joke about matters of life and death?
Master Yixiu waved his hand.
"Forget it. Your master has been like this all his life. The old monk has long been used to it."
"That being the case, I would like to discuss their marriage with you. Jiale and Qingqing are both very young, and it's time to start a family."
The master is too stubborn, so Xu Junming, the eldest disciple, has to step forward and plan for his junior brother.
Looking at Jia Le and Qing Qing who were in love with each other, Master Yixiu nodded.
Although Qingqing is his disciple, she has not learned Buddhist techniques, nor has she become a monk, so she is not prohibited from getting married.
"It's better to let them start a family as soon as possible."
"Then what do you think is the right time?"
"On the third day of next month, Yi Marry!"
Xu Junming nodded.
Half a month passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the day when Jia Le and Qing Qing got married.
Not many people came to the wedding, except for Master Yixiu and Xu Junming, Uncle Jiu and his aunt, Ren Tingting, who became the aunt's disciple, and Qiu Sheng and Wencai.
Uncle Jiu and Master Yixiu were the elders and sat at the top. Xu Junming made a temporary guest appearance as the master of ceremonies.
"Worship heaven and earth!"
"Two thanks to Gaotang!"
"Three times into the bridal chamber!"
Ren Tingting helped Qingqing walk to the fourth room, which was where she and Jia Le would live from now on.
"Master, I have always heard my junior brother and Jun Ming mention you, and when I meet you today, you are indeed a man of great virtue!" Uncle Jiu said with a smile.
"Amitabha, I don't dare to be praised like this by a Taoist priest. Taoist priest Yimei kills demons and protects a party's purity, which is a meritorious deed!"
"How about a full drink of this cup?"
"I'm very happy today, the old monk broke his precepts! Please!"
"You two, don't drink too much!"
The concubine frowned as her belly was already somewhat obvious.
"It doesn't hurt to have a few more drinks on this big day! Come, Jun Ming will come too." Uncle Jiu said.
"Don't worry, Auntie Shi, I'm watching over you and I won't let you drink too much."
The concubine nodded, turned around and walked out.
After she became pregnant, she couldn't smell alcohol.
"Come on, let's have a drink!" Uncle Jiu took the initiative to say hello.
It can be seen that since getting married, I have been severely controlled by my concubine. When encountering this lively occasion, my emotions are very high.
"Uncle, my aunt should be giving birth soon, right?"
"The baby will be born in two months."
Uncle Jiu's face was beaming with joy, and his expression and demeanor were no different from those of his ordinary father.
"Can you give me a name?" Master Yixiu asked.
Uncle Jiu nodded.
"Call Zhengying!"
"puff…!"
Xu Junming quickly wiped the tea from the corners of his mouth and waved his hands towards the two of them.
"It's okay, I'm a little choked."
"Drink slowly, you are a big boss, why are you still so unstable?" Uncle Jiu taught him a lesson.
After nodding slightly awkwardly, Xu Junming asked quickly.
"Uncle, my junior brother who has not yet graduated is called Lin Zhengying?"
"Isn't the name nice?"
Uncle Jiu frowned slightly, this was the name he came up with after searching the Seven Heavens Taoist Scriptures.
Xu Junming shook his head and thought to himself.
"Is it really cause and effect?!"
Seeing that Uncle Jiu liked this name very much, Xu Junming didn't say much.
Everyone had a good time, had enough food and wine, and chatted among themselves.
After three days of reunion, Uncle Jiu took his wife and apprentice to say goodbye.
"Jun Ming, when you see me again in the future, go to your master's former residence."
"I know, Muwuju!"
I encouraged Jiale and Qingqing again, and finally said hello to Master Yixiu before saying goodbye and leaving.
Seeing Uncle Jiu's light disappearing into the distance, Xu Junming turned his head.
"Jia Le, Qingqing, I'll be relieved if you two get married."
"Senior brother is leaving too?"
Xu Junming nodded.
"Senior brother still has the important task of guarding Tianxingzhou's Fire Eye, so he can't be away for too long."
Seeing that he was in a low mood, he smiled and patted his shoulder.
"Don't worry, senior brother will visit you often in the future."
He patted the gourd and a jade slip appeared in his palm.
"Master, these are some of my insights into Houtu Taoism. I hope it will be helpful to master's practice."
"Amitabha, Jun Ming, thank you very much!"
It was a matter of path, and Master Ikkyu didn't refuse.
Xu Junming nodded slightly and looked around at everyone.
"I'm leaving, see you tomorrow!"
The words are still in my ears, but the person has disappeared into the distance.
…
In the days that followed, Xu Junming traveled between Huoyan and Zongmen in Tianxingzhou, and occasionally stayed at Jiale's place for a few days.
He practiced Taoism in Huoyan in Tianxingzhou, and in the sect, he learned more about the seven Taoist methods such as the Thunder Method of the Supreme Purity, the Golden Light Bagua, the Xuanyin Ghost Slaying Sword, and the thirty-six true traditions.
With the cultivation experience of countless seniors in the sect as a reference, Xu Junming made rapid progress.
There are more and more natal talismans reaching the red stage in the Dantian.
Time flies and it’s been five years!
In the past five years, warlords have been fighting among common people, and the world has become increasingly chaotic.
Demons and ghosts appear frequently in the cultivation world, and chaos gradually arises! Only places suppressed by high-ranking sects or golden elixir monks are still peaceful.
Xu Junming was sitting cross-legged in a quiet room. Three feet above his head, directly above the Baihui point, a red talisman shone with light.
Gradually, the red became a little more purple.
The red is getting lighter and the purple is getting more and more!
But just when the entire talisman turned purple, it suddenly started to tremble.
After a while, the purple faded and the talisman turned red again.
He sighed and opened his eyes.
"Or not!"
In the past five years, he has understood all the twelve Taoist methods he majored in to the red stage. He was even proud of the practice experience of Senior Mao Shan, and there were twenty or thirty more natal talismans in the red stage in his Dantian.
But after five years, no natal talisman can advance to the purple stage.
The natal talisman at this stage is called the ‘Yuanshen Purple Talisman’.
Since Maoshan was founded, it has tens of thousands of disciples, but there are not many practitioners who can cultivate to the Yuanshen stage, and there are less than fifty practice notes left behind.
Moreover, these fifty cultivation experiences are scattered in different methods.
It is still too difficult to use these cultivation experiences to comprehend the natal talisman to the purple stage in a short period of time.
After calming down, look inside the Dantian.
A bronze mirror shines in the middle.
The surrounding destiny talisman, the Hutian talisman, the earth emperor talisman, the reincarnation talisman, the soul talisman, as well as the two spiritual weapons of Jiufengshan and Yimenghuangliang, formed the first ring around the bronze mirror.
The Yin-Yang Talisman and the Yin-Yang Great Mill, which were originally supposed to be here, are now in Ren Wuji's hands.
Except for the fate talisman in the blue stage, the other talismans are in the red stage.
The second ring is full of red talismans. It contains demon-slaying sword talisman, sealing talisman, fire talisman, thunder talisman, alchemy talisman, jellyfish talisman, sacred tree talisman, etc., a total of twenty-three.
The last ring has the most, with nearly a hundred rings, mostly blue, and only about twenty white rings.
When the bronze mirror's assistance to understanding increases and Xu Junming understands more and more truths, he can easily understand a Taoist method to the blue stage even if it is just by analogy.
