After offering good incense to the ancestor, the master and the apprentice used dust-repelling charms to clean the entire room, clean up the dead branches and leaves in the yard, and trim the weeds in the medicinal field, and the night became thicker.
They are already capable of fasting and do not need to eat.
After finishing his work, Xu Junming took two deck chairs and placed them under the pomegranate tree in the backyard. The master and the apprentice sat down respectively.
There are stars in the cloudless sky, and the full moon as big as a silver basin casts a faint silver glow, covering the earth with a beautiful white gauze.
"Master, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight!"
Four eyes nodded, with a look of reminiscence on his face.
"I think at the beginning, your master liked to sit here and look at the moon, and then tell me and your uncle some strange things in the practice world. Now think about it, more than thirty years have passed in a flash."
Turning to look at him, Xu Junming hesitated for a moment.
"Master, how did our ancestor pass away?"
"have no idea!"
"have no idea?"
Four eyes nodded.
"Back then, your master's cultivation had reached the innate perfection, and he went down the mountain to practice in order to seek a breakthrough. In the next two years, the soul lamp in the Dharma Hall suddenly went out. Our sect has been searching for many years but there are no clues. Master Xun used the 'Dayan Divine Calculation'
'Calculation of heaven's secrets only shows that the place of death of your ancestor is in West Kunlun."
"But the West Kunlun Mountains are thousands of miles long, and there are no less than a thousand mountains. If you want to find a person out of thin air, let alone looking for a needle in a haystack. After the sect searched for three years without any results, it gave up."
"Didn't Master's soul return to the underworld?"
"No!"
"So you make one trip every year to West Kunlun to find the whereabouts of your master?"
"Hmm!...Not just me, your uncle will also go to West Kunlun every six months to search for three months! It's a pity that we have no clues at all for so many years."
Turning his head with four eyes.
"Jun Ming, after your uncle and I pass away in the future, the task of finding your master's whereabouts will fall on you."
"Yes, this disciple must do his best to find the whereabouts of his master."
Feeling that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, Xu Junming quickly changed the topic.
"Master, all disciples of our sect are qualified to choose one Taoist method and three talismans to practice in the Sutra Pavilion. In addition to the 'Shen Da Zhen Jue', which three talismans did you choose?"
"Do you know why my teacher is called 'Four Eyes'?"
"Isn't it because you are wearing glasses?"
Of course, Xu Junming only said this in his heart, and still shook his head on the surface.
"Come and see!"
A double image of a pair of pupils suddenly appeared in the four eyes, and a burst of light that was more than a foot long made Xu Junming subconsciously avoid his eyes.
"This is called the 'Tianmu Talisman', and it is one of the thirty-six talismans in my Maoshan Mountain. If you can practice it to the peak, you will have a hundred miles of land within your sight."
Xu Junming was a little envious. His bronze mirror could break illusions and preserve reality, but it couldn't be seen for hundreds of miles at a glance.
"What level have you reached?"
"The fourth stage of the white fundamental talisman is only a little short of achieving the blue fundamental talisman. In terms of the 'Tianmu Talisman' alone, no one in this sect can surpass you, master, and me!" Simu said proudly.
"Master is really great!"
Xu Junming complimented him at the right time.
"of course!"
"What are the other two talismans...?"
"The pagoda talisman and the puppet talisman! The former coincides with the way of the central Wutu, which is extremely hard. If it is practiced, once used, it can form a golden light pagoda outside the body to protect the body and eliminate enemies. It has endless magical uses. It is a pity that I am not qualified as a teacher.
I am limited, and I have never been able to understand the three flavors, and I have never started to learn it.”
After sighing.
"As for the puppet talisman, it is my Taoist method of refining the guardian gods and Tao soldiers!"
Si Mu stopped talking and said nothing more.
Obviously this 'puppet talisman' is the same as the 'pagoda talisman' and has no entry level.
Knowing that his master had a good reputation, Xu Junming didn't give a shit about it.
"Master, what three kinds of talismans does Master Lin practice?"
"Your uncle practices the 'Demon-Slaying Sword Talisman', the 'Ghost-Slaying Talisman' and the 'Sacred Foot Talisman'. Except for the 'Ghost-Slaying Talisman', he has not started with the other two."
"No wonder my uncle likes catching ghosts so much!"
After muttering, "Master, is there any difference between the Demon-Slaying Talisman and the Demon-Slaying Sword Talisman?"
"The Demon-Slaying Talisman is one of the basic talismans of the Demon-Slaying Sword Talisman. It coincides with the Western Gengjin Way. I taught you the 'Golden Sword Talisman', the 'Iron Sword Talisman', and the more recent one is the 'Demon-Slaying Sword Talisman'.
At the same time, the demon-slaying sword talisman is also the true talisman among the thirty-six talismans of our sect, which can be practiced to the level of 'red talisman'."
Xu Junming suddenly realized that no wonder he could not integrate the 'Demon Slaying Talisman' after he understood the 'Xuanyin Ghost Slaying Sword'. It turned out that the two were fundamentally different Taoist methods.
The demon-killing talisman belongs to the Western Gengjin, which is the golden path.
As for the 'Xuan Yin Ghost-Slaying Sword', the emphasis is on Xuan Yin, not on the sword; the sword is a form, but it is fundamentally Taiyin, Shaoyin, and the way of Xuan Yin among Xuan Yin.
After getting rid of the confusion in his heart, Xu Junming felt that the spiritual platform was clear and he had more understanding of the 'Xuanyin Ghost Slaying Sword'.
"Next time I see Uncle Jiu, I must learn the 'Demon Slayer Sword Talisman'." Xu Junming thought to himself.
"Master, I only heard you say that we have thirty-six talismans in Maoshan, but I never heard you say it in detail. Today I have a chance, please tell me about it."
Four eyes nodded.
"Tomorrow I will take you to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to select exercises. I will take advantage of today's opportunity to talk to you... In addition to the several talismans mentioned above, I, Maoshan, also have soul-binding talismans and earth-opening talismans.
Mountain-bearing talisman, water-proof talisman, fire-proof talisman, golden body talisman, giant power talisman, fire-crow talisman, Taiyi talisman... Hutian talisman, soul-leaving talisman!"
"The Pot Heaven Talisman? Is it the method to open up the cave?" Xu Junming's eyes lit up.
The treasure he longed for was a space treasure such as a storage bag. By then, he would no longer have to carry a heavy deerskin bag all the time.
After looking at him with four eyes, he nodded.
"Although the Hutian Talisman is wonderful, I advise you not to try it?"
"Why?"
"The Hutian magic talisman contains the Tao of the cave, which is obscure and profound, a hundred times better than other methods. Countless seniors of the sect have spent their whole lives, but they can't get in. Even if they have a little understanding, they are only at the white talisman stage. At this time, Hutian
The talisman has neither a way to kill the enemy nor a way to protect oneself."
"Even if you want to refine the treasure of the cave, you need an innate spiritual creature with the five elements gathered together. But such a treasure is rare. Your master and I have never heard of it even though I have been practicing Taoism for a long time!"
Looking at Xu Junming's expression, it was obvious that he did not take his words to heart. Si Mu was not surprised by this. The young man was arrogant and arrogant, especially as his apprentice had excellent qualifications and amazing understanding, and his arrogance in his heart was better than that of ordinary people.
If he doesn't suffer a little loss and hits the south wall, he will not look back if he just relies on himself.
But he didn't know that Xu Junming had a treasure that could assist him in enlightenment.
"Master, can you teach me the pagoda talisman and the puppet talisman?"
"You are my disciple, so if you want to learn, it's okay. But again, you can't bite off more than you can chew. You have to weigh it a lot!"
Although Simu loves face, his method of teaching his disciples focuses on guidance rather than imposing rules, which is completely opposite to Uncle Jiu.
This method is also suitable for Xu Junming.
"Thank you, Master, for your teaching. I will definitely keep it in mind, my disciple!"
