Qi Xuansu just said casually and was not really worried about Yao Pei. With Yao Pei's family background, it was his turn to worry about it. Even if he didn't talk about his family background and background, Yao Pei's realm and cultivation level were higher than his.
There are also semi-immortal creatures such as the "Gong Candle Staff", which are much more powerful than him.
Qi Xuansu's attention is now focused on divine power. Divine power comes from the power of incense and wishes, just like blood comes from body essence and blood, and magic power comes from soul and spirit. On this point, he did not beat around the bush, but directly raised the question.
Probably because Qi Xuansu was too straightforward and undisguised, Sun Hewu didn't even think much about it. He just regarded the young man as eager to learn and answered the questions directly: "The power of incense and wish are the same as the power of magic. They both come from the human spirit. The difference is
The reason is that the power of wishes comes from the spirit of others, and the power of magic comes from one's own spirit. The blood of a martial artist is condensed from the essence and blood. The essence and blood of a person can be seen and touched, so the blood is real, and the blood of a person is real.
The spirit cannot be seen or touched, so the power of magic and the power of wishes are false."
"The reason why the Qi Refiner's journey is called the orthodoxy of the Taoist sect is because he can take care of both, refining the Qi and refining the Qi to transform the spirit, step by step, paying equal attention to the virtual and the real, and emphasizing both Yin and Yang. As for banishing the Immortal, you can regard it as a more
As a high-level Qi Refiner, you can also regard Sanren as a low-level Qi Refiner. The external manifestations of these three are very different, but their inner essence is the same. This is why Sanren can be completed as a banished immortal.
"That's more or less what it means." Sun Hewu brought the topic back, "Speaking of wish power, it involves the issue of how to use the spirit of others for one's own use. The strength of wish power is related to one's own cultivation level, as well as to
Whether it has something to do with obsession or piety, the power of ordinary people's wishes is actually very scattered and weak. After being dispersed, it will quickly dissipate between heaven and earth. If you want to actively collect it, unless you have a witchcraft at the level of an ancient immortal, it will be time-consuming.
It consumes effort and the gain outweighs the gain. For the top witches, collecting wandering wishes is similar to heaven and man extracting vitality from heaven and earth. Except for people in retreat, have you ever seen anyone meditating and practicing qi all day long? So do witches.
It’s impossible to collect willpower all the time, so we need an intermediate medium.”
Qi Xuansu listened very carefully and said thoughtfully: "The so-called medium is an object that can collect and store the power of wishes?"
"You can teach me," Sun Hewu smiled and nodded. "As the saying goes, if force is directed in one place, wish force is also force. How to make wish force gather in one place? In fact, it is worshiping God, but how can mortals see the true God? In the end, it is still worship.
It’s just a clay puppet. So we set up Taoist temples in various places, and in the Taoist temples we have the Supreme Being
The statue of Taoist ancestor, Zhang San worshiped this statue, Li Si also worshiped this statue, and their wishes converged towards the statue. Since ancient times, burning incense has been helpful to restore the spirit, so the smoke of burning incense is also helpful.
Due to the concentration of the will power generated from the spirit, it can even be used as the carrier of the wish power and slow down the dissipation of the wish power. Therefore, while worshiping gods, incense must be offered at the same time. The wish power is also called the incense power."
"When you pour a cup of water on the table, and the area becomes larger, it will dry up quickly. But if the water is all in the cup, there is only a small area at the mouth of the cup, but it can exist for a long time. The same is true for will power.
, when they gather in one place, they are not easy to dissipate, and the statue is naturally the cup, which is very suitable for storing the will power. In this way, we do not need to waste time and effort to collect the wandering will power, as long as we collect it regularly
It's enough to take the 'water in the cup' approach."
"Of course, this is just a very basic method. The top wizards can also use the medium of statues without the help of statues. As long as believers recite their names silently in their hearts, the power of their wishes will naturally be taken away by them. For example, if a wizard preaches in a dream, it is
The same truth. But those are very advanced methods. Just like a top martial artist can eat a dragon in one meal, its external performance is different. There is no difference between eating a dragon and eating cattle and sheep. They are all about strengthening oneself.
The methods of Qi and blood are the same as those of Wu Zhu. These are still too far away for you. You just need to know that there is such a thing and don’t delve too deeply into it.”
"When talking about statues, we have to mention the 'consecration'. Buddhism is an expert in this way, and even our Taoist sect follows the same example as Buddhist sects. The Buddhists say it is very mysterious. Only after the 'consecration' can we invite the real Buddha. If
If it is not consecrated, evil spirits will occupy the Buddha statue and enjoy the incense. In fact, it is not that complicated. How could the Buddha or Bodhisattva enter this small statue? The so-called consecration is actually a lock, or a lock.
This is a formation that isolates the inside and outside. As long as it is locked, ghosts, ghosts and evil spirits cannot enter the statue to steal the power of wishes."
"This has to talk about the problem of guarding and stealing. Since it is a lock, it naturally has a key. Of course it is not a real key. It may be a mantra, a talisman, or even some invisible channel. This key is in your possession.
In the hands of Taoist priests in Taoist temples, how to prevent self-stealing has always been a problem, just like how to prevent corruption of Taiping money."
Sun Hewu glanced at Qi Xuansu: "You participated in the second Jiangnan case
, you should know the dangers involved.”
Jinque has already characterized the Zixian Mountain case and the Jinling Mansion catastrophe, and officially named it the "Second Jiangnan Case", which is regarded as a continuation of the first Jiangnan Case. Including the real person in charge of the Jiangnan Province
, as well as the chief deputy palace master Bai Yingqiong, the second deputy palace master Li Tianlan and other nine deputy palace masters, all received major demerits and were ordered to conduct an in-depth review. Two deputy palace masters were transferred and one deputy palace master was dismissed.
.Twelve chief Taoist priests and forty-three deacon Taoist priests below the deputy head of the palace were dismissed and arrested, and more than 300 people were held accountable.
Jinque has already passed the Di Baoming Dao Gate, so Sun Hewu is very clear about it.
Sun Hewu continued: "We follow the example of the Immortal Sect and set up Taoist temples all over the world to collect the power of wishes from all over the world. However, these wishes are extremely impure and are mixed with chaotic thoughts such as seeking official positions, seeking wealth, and seeking blessings. If we accept them all, it will be at least as little as
The mind is damaged, and in severe cases, it can lead to obsession. In addition, incense, which is a temporary carrier of the will power, is also an impurity. It can be used to condense the will power, but it is difficult to refine. These all need to be filtered, purified, refined, and refined with heaven and humans.
It is the same principle that a scholar refines the vital energy of heaven and earth into his own true energy."
"This processed pure wish power is divine power, which can be used for the armor of spiritual officials and the practice of witchcraft. Various things developed by Huashengtang are also inseparable from it. Speaking more broadly,
Immortals condense their golden bodies and build the Kingdom of God, and they cannot do without this kind of good stuff, which is even more precious than gold."
Qi Xuansu took advantage of the situation and asked: "Then how can we obtain divine power?"
"It's hard to say it's hard, but it's easy to say it's simple." Sun Hewu said everything he knew, "You can preach on your own. That's what those secret societies do. This is where the word 'evil cult' comes from.
Come. You can also look for some special things, such as totems and sacrificial artifacts from ancient witchcraft. If you are lucky, there should be residual will power or divine power. There are more relics of ancient witchcraft in southern Xinjiang, but Wuluo
If you keep an eye on this place, it is easy to encounter demons from the Lingshan Witch Cult, which is a bit dangerous. You can also visit the tomb. Emperors of the past generations were offered incense by their descendants, and many things in the tomb also have the power of incense."
"By the way, it is said that divine power or unprocessed incense will also be sold in the black market. You can try your luck, but you must prepare peace of mind. Although I have not bought it and don't know the specific price, but according to the Taoist internal regulations
I have roughly estimated the price of divine power. The amount of divine power that is enough for a deceased shaman to become a heavenly being will cost tens of thousands of peace money. You should prepare ten thousand first.
It’s better to try your luck on the black market for Taiping Money.”
The more Qi Xuansu listened, the uglier his face became.
He was a thief in prison, secretly preaching against the pressure of the Taoist sect, stealing food from Wu Luo's mouth, taking the risk of being killed by various mechanisms and formations, stealing the emperor's tomb, and spending money to buy it.
Apart from spending money to buy, any other behavior is like committing suicide. As for spending money to buy, where can he find 10,000 peace coins? Qiniang has it, but it belongs to Qiniang. I still remember Qiniang once said, unless
She is dead, otherwise her money has nothing to do with Qi Xuansu. In other words, if Qiniang dies unfortunately, she will leave some inheritance to Qi Xuansu, but before that, Qi Xuansu has to be self-reliant. But no matter what Qi Xuansu does
If he is short of money, he will not expect anything to happen to Qiniang. If he really dares to think so, he will lose his liver, lungs and humanity.
To put it bluntly, he is still hoping that Qiniang will attain immortality, so that he can follow the chicken and dog to heaven. In today's world, why should he hope that his son will become a dragon or his husband will become a dragon, but he is not allowed to hope that his mother will become a dragon? He can also bring Zhang Yuelu with him to hope that his wife will become a dragon.
There is no conflict between self-reliance and self-reliance and hoping for the success of my mother and wife. It is the good wind that sends me to the blue clouds by virtue of its strength. We can all borrow from each other.
But the joke is a joke after all. Immortality is too far away after all. With Qiniang's temperament, even if she becomes an immortal, it is easy to change the country and hard to change. Qi Xuansu should have no money. Zhang Yuelu is generous, but
Like Qi Xuansu, she has little money, and her thirst cannot be quenched by water far away.
At this time, you can see the importance of Taiping Money. A penny can stump a heroic man. No wonder so many high-ranking Taoist priests are trying their best to make money. It is true that money can communicate with ghosts and gods.
Qi Xuansu murmured: "The Taoist priests of the fourth grade of Ziweitang can have a monthly allowance of 200 yuan of Taiping money. Plus various subsidies, the total is 300 yuan of Taiping money, which is 3,600 Taiping money a year."
Even if I don't eat, drink or spend money, I have to save for three years, which may not be enough. If I need tens of thousands of peace money, I will have to save my life for ten years. Isn't this fatal? "
If the former Qi Xuansu knew that he could become a heavenly being within ten years, he would definitely not be too slow, but would feel that it was too fast. But now Qi Xuansu is too ambitious and is no longer satisfied with such a speed. It is from frugality to luxury that it becomes easier.
It is difficult to be frugal and extravagant.
Sun Hewu shook his head and said nothing.
In Taoism, every step is slow and every step is slow. After Zhang Yuelu became a heavenly being, Yao and Li did not hesitate to disrupt their own plans but also wanted to become a heavenly being one after another. They were afraid of taking one step slower, so it was difficult to persuade him.
