Chapter 42: The Divine Fire Seal of the Nine Immortal Capitals
…
"Take it over there and put it away!"
Xu Junming carefully held the lotus lantern and walked to the shrine on the right. After looking at it, he found a free position and put it down.
Immediately afterwards, the sloppy old Taoist took out a gleaming jade book from his arms.
"Your name…?"
"Disciple Simu!" Taoist Master Simu said quickly.
"Who is your master?"
"'Respect' my son Li Changdao!"
The sloppy old man turned over it.
"Found it. You also have a senior brother named Lin Fengjiao?"
"Exactly!"
"This name belongs to the girl's family!"
The sloppy old man muttered.
Xu Junming wanted to laugh a little. If Uncle Jiu heard this, his expression would be very wonderful.
"Okay, from now on you will be of the 'Chong' generation and will be subordinate to Liu Sanlang!"
After saying "yes" respectfully, Xu Junming looked at his master. This was the first time he heard the name of a layman in Shimu.
After the old Taoist priest included Xu Junming in the list of Maoshan disciples, he put away the jade book and waved his hand.
"Okay, you can go."
"Disciple, resign!"
Xu Junming bowed and followed his four eyes out of the Dharma Transmission Hall.
"Master, is this the end?"
Four eyes nodded.
"Received the Taoist Seal of the 'Nine-Lao Immortal City Divine Fire Seal', lit the natal spiritual lantern, and entered the directory. From now on, you will be the twenty-third 'Chong' disciple of my Maoshan Southern Sect."
"Isn't there a road number?"
"You have a beautiful idea, I haven't given you a name as your master yet!"
After a pause, there was a hint of longing on his four-eye face, "According to the rules of the cultivation world, only those who have entered the Golden Elixir are eligible to enjoy the Taoist title. At that time, the sect will hold a Dharma meeting, summon all colleagues in the cultivation world, and announce the Taoist title in public,
It’s truly a sight to behold.”
Xu Junming couldn't help but reveal a trace of yearning on his face.
After a while.
"Master, that old Taoist priest just now is also the Jindan senior of our Maoshan Nanzong?"
"Um!"
"What do you call it?"
"have no idea."
"have no idea?"
"What are you shouting about? That old Taoist is the most senior elder of our Southern Sect in Maoshan. His name has not been used for many years. He usually guards the Dharma Hall and never leaves. I am called 'Uncle Master' by everyone up and down Maoshan."
Xu Jun nodded clearly.
"Master, I remember you told me that our Maoshan Southern Sect has three great sect-suppressing spiritual weapons. Is the 'Nine Elder Immortal Capital Divine Fire Seal' one of them just now?"
Above the magic weapon is the spiritual weapon. For Xu Junming, the spiritual weapon is a legendary thing. He has only heard of it but never seen it. So he is particularly curious.
Four eyes nodded.
"The 'Nine-Lao Immortal Capital Divine Fire Seal' is a top-grade spiritual weapon. Together with our Maoshan's 'Five Elements Formation Diagram' and 'Sapphire Spirit Staff', it is also called the 'Three Treasures of Luofu'. It is extremely powerful. It is said that it was owned by Master Ge Hong thousands of years ago.
Carry this treasure with you."
"It would be great if I could have such a treasure!" Xu Junming said with envy.
"My Maoshan Nanzong has accumulated only three spiritual weapons in two thousand years. You better save your time! However, now that you have received the Taoist Seal, although it is not the original spiritual weapon of the 'Nine Elder Immortal Capital Divine Fire Seal', it is still better than the original spirit weapon.
If you get a low-grade magic weapon, you can protect yourself from external demons and not be invaded by Yin evil spirits during your cultivation."
"Spiritual weapons are indeed powerful! Just a few seals can exert the effect of a low-grade magical weapon!" Xu Junming praised.
"Of course. The wonders of spiritual weapons cannot be expressed in words!"
The master and the disciple were fascinated, and it took a long time to calm down.
"Okay, it's getting a little late. I'll take you to Fengwu Ju to stay for one night, and then go to the Sutra Pavilion tomorrow to collect the exercises!"
“Master, where is ‘Fengwuju’?”
"That was your master's residence. Later, after he passed away, the place became empty. Your master and I would stay there occasionally when we returned to the sect."
Xu Junming nodded.
Follow the four eyes and meander forward along the bluestone road. After crossing a stone bridge, you will see many antique courtyards made of bamboo, wood and bricks.
These courtyards are separated from each other by trees, flowers, grass, or springs, ponds, and rockeries. The architectural styles are different, but the aura is shining and the scenery is extraordinary.
Obviously, every courtyard is shrouded in formations and is an owner-occupied place.
"Here we are, right here!"
Looking at the two-story building built in front of him with a fence made of walls and bamboo and wood made of bricks, Xu Junming looked at it for a moment, looked up at the three words "Muwu Ju" on the plaque above the courtyard door, turned his head, and was about to
I asked how to get in. I saw him pinching his fingers a few times, and then he patted forward from a distance.
A transparent film suddenly appeared, then slowly retreated to the left and right.
"Let's go!"
Opening the door with four eyes, Xu Junming followed closely.
"Master, was that the 'Innate Bagua Array' method of dismantling the array just now?"
"Did your uncle teach you?" Simu nodded and said.
"Yes! It's just a beginner, so I'm not very familiar with it yet."
"It's already pretty good! What your master was good at back then was the 'Pure Yang Bagua'. The Bagua Mirror combined with the innate Bagua Formation suppressed countless demons and ghosts. Unfortunately, I still couldn't understand the true meaning of Chunyang. In the end, I only practiced 'Shen Da Zhen'.
"Jue'. If I didn't know how to enter the formation, I wouldn't be able to enter this 'Muwuju'."
"An inch is short, but a foot is long. The master is not good at the 'Pure Yang Bagua', but he has mastered the 'Shen Da Zhen Jue' so well that he can become an immortal and an ancestor in the future."
"Haha, you kid knows how to say nice things. I don't dare to think that I can become an immortal, an ancestor, or a teacher. In the future, I can achieve the golden elixir, and it will be enough to facilitate my wishes!"
While they were talking, the two of them walked through the front yard surrounded by flowers and plants and came to the door of the house.
There was a little dust scattered on the wooden door woven with green bamboo. I drew a dust-repelling charm with my eyes in the air. In the blink of an eye, the wooden door and the window next to it became as clean as new.
The door was unlocked, so I pushed it open with a creak and walked in.
Facing the front is a hall of about fifty square meters.
Directly opposite the door in the hall is a hanging painting with the word "Dao" in it. The calligraphy is vigorous and clumsy, giving off a ethereal atmosphere.
Next is an Eight Immortals table with two armchairs.
On the left and right sides are two armchairs and a high table.
Overall, it is no different from the living room of an ordinary wealthy family.
Bypassing the living room, on the left is the study room.
Sitting north and facing south, there is a portrait of Ge Hong, the founder of the Southern Sect of Maoshan, enshrined. Because no one has worshiped it for a long time, the incense in the copper furnace has long been extinguished.
On the right side of the living room is the bedroom, with the door closed at the moment.
In the middle of the hall, on the left side of the hanging painting with the word "道", there is an aisle leading to the back. After going around, directly opposite, there is a door leading to the backyard.
On the left side of the backyard is a tall pomegranate tree. On the right side is half an acre of medicinal fields, where common herbs such as Polygonatum sibiricum, ginseng, Poria cocos and Ganoderma lucidum are planted.
A relationship that may be neglected may not grow well.
There is an upward staircase behind the hanging painting with the word "Dao", leading to the second floor.
There are four rooms on the second floor, a study room and three bedrooms.
The entire 'Muwuju' covers an area of about two acres, which is not big, but not small either. At least it is enough for Xu Junming and Simu to live here.
