The winter solstice is coming.
In the Huixian Temple, Chen Yun presented offerings in front of the statue of Sanqing Taoist Patriarch in the main hall, and lit three sticks of incense.
He respectfully performed the kowtow ceremony and shouted: "Homage to the One Qi Transformation Sanqing Jade Qingju Qingwei Tiansheng Deng Yuqing Realm Shiqi Chengdi Tianbaojun Yuanshi Tianzun Miaowu God, salute the One Qi Transformation Sanqing Superior Yu Tianzhen, who lived in the Qing Dynasty, ascended to the profound energy of the Qing Dynasty and became the Sun Lingbao Lord. ."
After paying homage to the Three Pure Ones, Chen Yun recited the imperial edict of Yuanshi Tianzun, "The Ceremony of True Heart Surrender. Above the Three Realms, Brahma Qi Miluo. The supreme supreme, the sky in the sky. Yuluo Xiaotai, Jade Mountain Jingjing. Miaomiao Golden Tower , Senluo Jinghong. The mysterious Yuan is the first of chaos. Among the orbs, the mysterious is mysterious again. The three scenes of enlightenment are transformed into the heavens. Billions of innocent people, countless martingale crowds. Swirling buckets and calendar Ji, returning to the five constants. The majestic grand scale, ten thousand The sect of Tao. Great Luo Yuqing, nothingness and nature. The most true and wonderful Tao, Yuanshi Tianzun."
The white ape, flying snake, Qin Liang, and Ji Xin divine generals and divine soldiers behind him all followed him in reciting the imperial edict.
Yuanshi Tianzun created the world and evolved all things, and is respected by the world.
It is said that on the winter solstice, reciting the treasure edict of Yuanshi Tianzun can bring you immeasurable blessings.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but after Chen Yun finished reciting the Baogao along with his spiritual pets and divine soldiers and generals, he felt that his whole body became peaceful, as if he had been blessed by something.
After reciting the imperial edict of Yuanshi Tianzun, Chen Yun came to the side hall with his spiritual pets, divine soldiers and generals.
Immediately, he made offerings to the divine soldiers and generals, and lit incense to make offerings.
Of course, it is also indispensable to "serve" the white ape and the flying snake well.
After being busy for a while, Chen Yun drank some mountain spring water, then sat in front of the window sill and read the Taoist scriptures quietly.
Because today is the winter solstice, he did not practice.
The ancients believed that the winter solstice was the last and most severe pass in a year's long-distance running. "The energy that is finally stored ends here."
Therefore, "before and after the winter solstice, a gentleman will settle down and be quiet, and all officials will do their best."
As a Taoist cultivator, Chen Yun should naturally "comply with God's will" and give himself a day off.
At night, he fell asleep early.
Perhaps because I didn't practice today, my body was greatly stretched, and my sleep at night was particularly sweet.
…
The next day, it started to rain lightly outside.
The sound of pitter-patter resounded in the mountains just after midnight.
In the early morning, Chen Yun woke up on time as always and prepared to practice.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a female Taoist sitting at the tea table in the middle of the room.
It was Xie Ziran whom he had not seen for a long time.
"woke up?"
There was still no emotion in Xie Ziran's voice, like a thousand-year-old iceberg in the Arctic.
Chen Yun quickly climbed out of bed and saluted: "Teacher, are you back?"
Xie Ziran said lightly, "Go freshen up first and then talk."
"Here."
Chen Yun took a homemade toothbrush and refined salt and went out to brush his teeth and wash his face.
After washing up, he returned to the house and saw Xie Ziran sitting there lifeless like a stone sculpture, or in other words, blending with the heaven and earth.
It was clear that the other party was sitting over there, but Chen Yun had a feeling that if he closed his eyes, he would not be able to detect that person, regardless of whether he used his spiritual sense or his true energy.
"I don't know how far Master Xie has reached in his cultivation. As soon as he sat over there, he seemed to have entered a state of unity between heaven and man."
Chen Yun thought about it secretly while putting down the grooming tools.
Immediately, he came to stand next to Xie Ziran and saluted, "Teacher, I've finished dressing up."
Xie Ziran glanced at him sideways and praised with satisfaction: "I haven't seen you for more than ten days, and you have cultivated to the point where you are invulnerable to water and fire. It's very good."
After spending so much time with her, Chen Yun roughly knew how well the other person praised someone would be reflected in their words.
For example, good generally means very good, and okay means it has met the requirements.
As for the word "very good", this was the first time that Chen Yun and Xie Ziran had been together for so long.
However, one can tell from previous compliments that he is extremely satisfied with his practice.
He was secretly happy in his heart and said: "Teacher's Dafa is exquisite. Only by using this can you reach this state."
Xie Ziran looked at him calmly, "No matter how exquisite my method is, if you don't have enough talent and hard work, it will be difficult to reach this level. You do have great perseverance in practice. Why should you attribute the credit to me? Practitioners ask for it. It is true. Therefore, cultivating the Tao is also called self-cultivation. I hope you can remain sincere and not decorate your appearance with false appearances and false words."
Chen Yundao said: "Use it and learn."
Xie Ziran hummed, "Come here, let me check."
Chen Yun came closer to her again, and the fragrance hit her face again.
Xie Ziziran stood up naturally and reached out to check every part of Chen Yun's arms, chest and back. From time to time, he also sent immortal energy into Chen Yun's limbs and bones.
Because the two of them were a bit close, Chen Yun had many wild thoughts, but he never dared to move. He just controlled his thoughts and tried his best to prevent his random thoughts.
After a while, Xie Ziran finished the inspection and put his hands behind his back. "The whole body is filled with spiritual energy. The muscles, skin, membrane, bones, and even the internal organs are all the color of jade. The Feiling Jade Talisman has been practiced to a small degree. It's time to stimulate the spiritual energy." ."
Chen Yun was overjoyed, "Thank you, teacher."
Xie Ziran turned around and walked out, and said in a direct tone: "If you dare to have any objections to me again, be careful I will peel you off and get cramps!"
Chen Yun: "..."
Well, it’s better not to think about the ones that are there and those that aren’t.
…
The two of them, one after the other, soon arrived at Nari Canyon.
Different from last time, this time Chen Yun followed Xie Ziran before he even got close, when he saw a man and four beasts outside the canyon under the rock wall that blocked the rain.
The leader...
It can’t be said that they are human beings.
It looks like a human, one foot tall, with a human face and long arms, a black body with hair, turned back heels, and a smile on its face.
Plus, it only has one leg.
Not surprisingly, it’s the mandrill.
The mandrill led all the monster brothers to kneel down on the ground from afar, speaking in human words and loudly saying: "Gong Zhenji has seen the real person of Dongji."
"I've met the real person in Dongji."
"I've met the real person in Dongji."
There were also the brown bear monster, lynx monster, macaque monster and rhinoceros monster that Chen Yun had seen before, all kneeling and saluting.
Xie Ziran stepped forward with Yun Qi on his feet, put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "No courtesy."
Only then did Gongweiji and the four monsters stand up, and saw it full of smiles and said: "I just watched the purple gas clouds rolling towards my cave. I knew that Dongji Zhenren was coming, so I led all my brothers to wait for it."
Xie Ziran nodded slightly, "You, the king of the mountain, do have a good eye."
"Master, that's ridiculous." Gongweiji cupped his hands and said, "I heard that Master came with his disciples the day before yesterday. I was not in the cave that day. The four brothers may have been presumptuous. I hope Master can forgive me."
It was still raining and there were puddles all over the ground.
Chen Yun has cultivated to the point where he is invulnerable to water and fire. The "qi" lingering around his body can completely isolate water and fire. Therefore, he came all the way without getting any water on his body.
Seeing how polite this mandrill was, he couldn't help but feel good about him. He was a very polite spirit.
At the same time, he could also see that Mandrill was very fawning over Zi Ziran. He probably did not want to be the king of the mountain, but wanted to become a disciple of the Xuanmen orthodox sect in order to attain enlightenment and become an immortal.
"Chong Yong is not a member of our family, but he was entrusted by my good friend to teach him the law." Xie Ziran said, "I brought him to see the King of the Mountain today because I have something to entrust him with."
Gong Weiji's eyes lit up and he said: "What do you want me to do, Master? As long as I am within my power, I will go up to the mountains of swords and the seas of fire without hesitation."
"It's not that serious." Xie Ziran waved his hand, pointed at Chen Yun, and introduced him first: "His name is Chen Pu, and he is a disciple of Zhengyang Zhenren, the Taoist Guan of Zhongnan Mountain."
"ah?"
"The little Taoist priest is a disciple of Zhengyang Zhenren?"
"Oh, how come we didn't recognize Mount Tai before?"
The four monsters, including the macaque monster and lynx monster, sounded slightly annoyed.
When Gongweiji heard that Chen Yun had such a big "background", his attitude changed 180 degrees. From the beginning he didn't pay attention to it, but now he directly bowed his head and said, "It turns out that Chen Xianchang is a disciple of the Holy God. Gongweiji I have been rude to many people before, and I hope that Mr. Chen will forgive me."
Chen Yun did not expect that the mandrill on the other side could be so versatile, so he quickly bowed in return and said: "The mountain king is polite."
Seeing that the public was extremely frightened and wanted to get close to him, Xie Ziran interrupted and took the initiative to explain his purpose, "I came here today with the charge to let the mountain king have a physical fight with him. If the mountain king is willing, Pindao is willing to do it." Give me some magic elixir."
Gong Xingji was a very delicate person and said with a smile: "Master, there is no need to be so polite. Gong's cave is adjacent to Zhenren's Taoist temple, so they are neighbors. Now that my neighbor comes to visit for business, how can I ask for payment?"
Chen Yun thought the matter was settled.
Unexpectedly, Gong was so afraid that his next sentence would change the subject, "But I don't know the importance of my fists and kicks. I'm afraid that when I fight with Chen Xianchang, I might accidentally injure him..."
Having said this, it quickly apologized to Chen Yun, "Chen Xianzhang, it's not that I'm looking down on you, but I'm a mandrill that has become a spirit, and my body is extremely strong. A monk who usually refines his body to the point of being invulnerable to swords, guns, water and fire, if he comes into contact with me, A light punch can cause the skin to be torn apart, but a heavy blow can cause all the bones to be shattered, or even death. I am just a monster in the mountains, and I dare not offend the disciples of the Holy Spirit."
Chen Yun nodded and said: "It doesn't matter, I know the mountain king doesn't want to hurt anyone."
"Chen Xianchang understands very well." Gong Zhenji responded, and looked at Xie Ziran again and said: "Master, if Chen Xianchang is not allowed to fight with my four brothers, if he can subjugate my four brothers, I will It’s not too late to take action, what do you think?”
The brown bear monster hurriedly said: "Brother, I have fought against Chen Xianchang, and I am no match for him. You let me..."
"Hey." Gong Zhenji raised his head to stop the brown bear monster from continuing, "Of course I know that Chen Immortal's magic is amazing, and you alone are no match. Therefore, I want the four of you to join forces to practice with the Immortal."
Chen Yun had no right to comment on this matter. He only knew that the mandrill's realm was similar to that of a high-level mage. He really didn't know how strong the opponent's body was, so he looked to the side.
Xie Ziran pondered for a moment and said: "That's right, let's first see if Chong Yong can defeat the four brothers you have."
Gong Weiji hurriedly said: "Thank you, Master Dongji, for understanding."
After saying that, it turned to look at the four demons behind it, "You guys practice with Chen Xianchang, and don't hit anyone too hard to hurt anyone."
Chen Yun could tell from its words that although the other party behaved respectfully because of its identity, it actually did not recognize its own strength and believed that the four demons joining forces might hurt themselves.
To be honest, Chen Yun has only fought against brown bear monsters. He really doesn't know if he has the ability to deal with four monsters who are equivalent to medium-level mages.
However, as Gong Weiji said, if he can't even defeat four monsters who are equivalent to mid-level mages together, how can he challenge Gong Weiji who is as powerful as a high-level mage?
Okay, let’s have a fight and see if you are qualified to challenge Mandrill!
Today, the winter solstice, is the birthday of Yuanshi Tianzun, so Xiaoxiao spent a lot of time describing it in a short paragraph. I hope everyone can understand.
