Qi Xuansu put the large quantities of ingredients he purchased in order, cooked himself a pot of porridge, and fried the medicine.
Anyone could see that Qi Xuansu at this time was just what Zhang Yuelu said was a Taoist priest in the flower garden. They could not see the ruthlessness of Qi Xuansu when he went from the gate of the county government office to the back house alone.
In fact, Qi Xuansu does not have a hobby of killing people. He just regards it as a job. He does not get joy from it and does not feel too much guilt. This is due to Qiniang's teaching that killing is just a means.
, rather than the purpose, Qiniang also made an analogy, a person is like a sword, of course you have to draw it out of its sheath when you should kill someone, but you have to learn the word "hide" when you shouldn't draw it out.
Qiniang will make a detailed assessment of Qi Xuansu every year to prevent Qi Xuansu from becoming mentally disturbed or even becoming obsessed.
There is also such an evaluation within the Taoist sect, but it does not apply to all Taoist sect disciples, but only to the foreign affairs disciples of Beichen Hall, Tiangang Hall and other special halls.
The assessment is divided into four levels: A, B, C and D.
Grade A means that there are no problems and is intact; Grade B means that there are slight flaws, but the impact is not big and only needs regular rest; Grade C has affected the mind and needs to be transferred from the current position for long-term rest; Grade D has already
Unable to live a normal life and with potential for madness, immediate intervention and treatment, or even house arrest, are required.
Qi Xuansu's evaluation has been Grade A for three consecutive years.
As for why Zhang Yuelu was able to see through the murderous aura hidden in Qi Xuansu's body, it was due to the "manifested baby" realm of the banished immortal. In this realm, three basic magical powers can be acquired, namely "Ziwei Dou Shu" and "Immortal Qi Watching Technique".
” and “The Art of Immortal Travel”.
Zhang Yuelu used the "Immortal Qi Watching Technique" to look at Qi Xuansu, and naturally he could see the faint red surrounding Qi Xuansu's body.
As a simplified version of the banished immortal, the corresponding realm of Sanren is the realm of "holy fetus". They can also acquire three similar magical powers, namely "innate divine calculation", "qi gazing technique" and "experimental technique".
Just by looking at their names, one can tell the difference between the two. "Immortal Qi-Wang Technique" is a superior method, while "Qi-Wang Technique" can only be regarded as a mid-level method.
Throughout the ages, many people have sought the Tao. There are also many laws in the world.
It is said that there are three thousand great avenues, eight hundred side doors, and there are ten thousand kinds of magic and magical powers. Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, it can also be seen that there are many kinds of magic in the world. It’s just that there are high and low levels of Tao, and there are magic powers.
There are up and down. Taoism can be summarized as follows: There are four kinds of Dharma, which are divided into small, medium, high and great.
The method of small success only seeks quick success. The method of medium success does not realize the great truth. The method of supreme success follows the principles of heaven and earth. The method of great success can lead to immortality and ascension.
"Dharma" is divided into Tao and techniques.
Tao is a method, which can be practiced to improve one's own state of cultivation; magic is a variety of magical powers, which cannot improve one's state of cultivation, but have various uses.
Whether it is "immortal qi-gazing technique" or "qi-gazing technique", they are all within the scope of supernatural powers.
As for the Dharma Doors, Xuansheng summoned all the Daozhen and Zhenren in the Taoist sect, gathered all the Dharma Doors in one place, and then eliminated the waste and retained the essence, integrating them into five Dharma Sects that are step-by-step, without the worry of going astray and directly pointing to the Great Way of Ascension.
The Dacheng Dharma of the Sect is the foundation, which integrates the five inheritances. Later Sanren also developed on the basis of the Dacheng Dharma of the Five Sects.
To this day, the methods used by everyone from real people to ninth-grade Taoist priests are all the methods compiled by Xuan Sheng. There is no difference. The speed of advancement depends entirely on the amount of resources, qualifications, and effort. It has to be said that Xuan Sheng
The greatness of the Holy Pattern far surpassed that of the ancestors of the previous generations, and this was how he was able to revitalize the Taoist sect and create a situation where the Taoist sect is in charge of the world today.
It is said that Xuan Sheng also planned to integrate the magical powers, but because the project was too heavy and there was too much opposition within the Taoist sect, it could not be completed.
To this day, the so-called methods of Dacheng, Shangcheng, Zhongcheng, and Xiaocheng all refer to magical powers. In terms of Dharma, everyone is practicing the Dacheng method after the integration of Xuansheng.
High and low.
The cultivation methods corresponding to these supernatural powers are provided by Taoist sects, are completely open to the public, and are even widely circulated outside Taoist sects. As long as the realm is sufficient, everyone can practice them.
Sanren can also learn the magical powers of banished immortals, but it is inevitable that they will get twice the result with half the effort. After all, after the summary and induction of the Taoist ancestors of the past generations, the corresponding inheritance has the most suitable magical powers. If you insist on deviating from this route, you will undoubtedly feel that you can surpass the Taoist ancestors of the past generations.
The collective wisdom of experience is bound to hit a wall.
In addition, there are some skills that must be accomplished or meet other conditions before they can be practiced.
For example, take the "Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Zhengfa", a great method of Zhengdao Da Zhen Mansion. Some of the methods have been incorporated into the system of Qi Refiners by Xuan Sheng. Everyone can practice it and can touch it at the stage of returning to the true state. The remaining ones have not been preached to others.
Only the core disciples of Zhengdao can practice the magical power part. Correspondingly, the two major factions of Taiping and Quanzhen also have special magical powers, which are not easily revealed to others.
Qi Xuansu does not have any special magical powers, and now he only has three basic magical powers.
The path to immortality is divided into three major stages: heaven and man, innate man, and acquired man. Taoism then subdivides it into several smaller stages to uniformly correspond to the different realms of each inheritance system.
Acquired people have two stages of cultivation and Baodan. Innate people have three stages of Kunlun, Yuxu and Guizhen. These five stages correspond to San people's five stages of foundation building, Qi training, inner elixir, jade tripod and holy fetus.
Each realm corresponds to the five realms of refining the fine gold of the banished immortal, refining it to form qi, returning elixir from jade liquid, returning purple qi when it is deficient, and manifesting it as a baby.
Qi Xuansu is now in the realm of inner alchemy. There is no corresponding magical power in the realm of foundation building. In the realm of Qi training, you can practice "body protection Qi", which is only a small-scale method. It comes from the inheritance of Qi-refiners and is inferior to the mid-level method of Qi-refiners.
"Body-protecting Gangqi" is even inferior to the superior method of banishing immortals, "Five Qi Yanluo".
There are two magical powers that can be cultivated in the realm of inner alchemy. One is the "Yin and Yang Eye", which is also a small method. It comes from the inheritance of alchemists. It is inferior to the alchemist's medium method of "transparent Dharma Eye". The "Yin and Yang Eye" can only detect ghosts and ghosts.
, and the "Transparent Eye of Dharma" can directly immobilize ghosts.
The other one is the intermediate method "Sword Controlling Technique", which is inferior to the Qi Master's superior method "Sword Controlling Technique", and it requires a genuine flying sword. "Sword Controlling Technique" also requires flying swords, but after practicing to a certain level
, even an ordinary long sword can be used like a flying sword.
All in all, the advantage of Sanren is that they can practice the magical powers of the other five major inheritances, but the disadvantage is that they are sparse.
After the inner alchemy realm is the jade tripod realm, where you can practice two methods of achieving perfection.
One is the "Fat Grain Technique", which is not very useful in fighting with others. Depending on the level of cultivation, it can greatly reduce one's own consumption, from one meal a day to one meal every three days, to eating wind and drinking dew, to being able to live without food.
.
One is the "Cicada Slaughter Technique", which can temporarily create a fake body to take the place of death. It is an extremely practical life-saving magical power.
This method was born out of the "false body of tribulation" of the banished immortals.
The "Cicada Slaughter Technique" can only evade swords and ordinary water and fire spells, but it cannot evade the Gu Technique and defeats the Nightmare Town Technique. The banished immortal's "Tribulation False Body" is transformed into a flesh-and-blood substitute with his blood, which has the same aura as the original deity.
No two, whether it is a curse spell or a soul-stealing technique through the medium of blood and hair, all can be endured by the fake body, which is the ultimate method. It is said that after practicing to the extreme, it can be supplemented by other precious materials, as well as my own
Some cultivation levels can even deceive the way of heaven and withstand heavenly calamities, hence the name "ying calamity".
This is the huge gap between Sans and Banished Immortals, and it cannot be forced.
Qiniang once promised Qi Xuansu that as long as Qi Xuansu reaches the realm of Jade Cauldron, she will teach Qi Xuansu on behalf of the Qingping Society a special magical power unique to the Qingping Society, the true method of perfection, for free.
If Qi Xuansu is willing to spend another three hundred peace coins, Qiniang will not mind teaching him her "Leng Yue Saw". Although it is only a successful method, it is enough if you have hands, which is far better than the "sword control skill" without flying swords.
.
In addition, Qiniang can also "Xuanyin Slaughter" and "Heart-Tangled Thread". The former is the same as "Leng Yue Saw", which is the magical power of a martial artist and the method of Zhongcheng. The latter is the magical power of a Qi Refiner.
The best method is to sell for five hundred Taiping coins and one thousand Taiping coins respectively. No bargaining is allowed, not even with your own son.
Qi Xuansu could only look forward and sigh.
In fact, Qi Xuansu can also use his own meritorious service to exchange for martial arts from Qingping Association through Qiniang, or exchange for pills to improve his cultivation. This is quite similar to the merit-recording system of Taoism, but Qi Xuansu still wants to save nine thousand meritorious services to leave Qingping.
Yes, so there has been no action for a long time, which also led to his slow entry.
After the porridge was cooked, Qi Xuansu served himself a bowl, and while drinking the porridge, he read the newspaper he bought.
The Dibao originated from the imperial court. It was first used by local officials to copy the emperor's edicts and the ministers' reports. There is an ancient poem: "Sitting in the Dibao and talking about the old man, gossiping about Chushan Mountain and remembering the drunken old man."
Nowadays, Taoism has formalized it, printing it with movable type, recording various Taoism policies and interesting anecdotes, and selling it to the public. Each copy sells for five Ruyi coins, but it is generally only available in Yujing City and various Dao Prefectures.
Today's Di Bao reported for the first time the demonic chaos in the Western Regions. This demonic chaos has lasted for two months. Five caravans were attacked before and after. However, the Taoist government in the Western Regions was busy fighting the shamans and had no time to take care of it. They had to report to the ancestors.
Court for help.
Shamanism is a branch of ancient shamanism. After the collapse of shamanism, shamanism traveled far to the grasslands and became the state religion of the Golden Horde. Its strength cannot be underestimated. Taoist governments in the Western Regions often conflict with shamanism, and they use the power of a Taoist government to compete with shamanism.
It’s no wonder that the Taoist government in the Western Regions is short of manpower.
Qi Xuansu continued reading, and then the rotating Da Zhenren issued an order to further crack down on secret associations in various places, requiring all local governments to strictly implement the ancestral decree.
Further down, there is news related to Jiutang.
The headmaster of the ancestral hall met with the Buddhist envoy.
Duzhitang released a summary of the Duzhitang for the first half of this year and a budget brochure for the second half of this year.
Ziweitang released the preliminary results of the eight-step assessment in spring and summer, and announced the list of relevant Taoist priests who have been promoted or demoted.
Beichen Hall announced the list of criminals who need to be executed after the autumn, as well as detailed descriptions of related crimes, to serve as a warning to others.
After finishing a bowl of porridge, the medicine has not yet been cooked.
Qi Xuansu put down his newspaper and suddenly remembered Xuan Sheng's words: "Since we are the orthodox people in the world, we must act openly and not hide what we do so that everyone in the world can see it."
