"My teacher is a divine messenger taught by Laojun, so he naturally has a magical method of immortality. However, this method is a supreme method, and it cannot be taught to anyone who is not a true official or higher than the real official of my teaching."
"What is the real official?" Yan Shi had always been pure in heart and had few desires. Now that he heard about the method of immortality, he couldn't help but ask.
"My master calls himself the Celestial Master and is the only divine envoy in the world. The order under the Celestial Master is: the first is the Yin Yang Taiguan; the second is the Zhengfu Zhenguan; the third is the Zhengfang Zhenguan; the fourth is the Sugong Sanguan; the fifth is the Sugong Sanguan; It is called the Bingjinlu Lord. Their clothes and clothes are different. For example, the believer behind me is temporarily listed as the Bingjinlu Lord."
When Zhang Bu behind him heard this, he raised his left palm in front of him, curled his index finger inward, and bowed to signal the two of them.
Xu Hua saw that Zhang Bu had finished signaling to the two of them, and then continued: "It is a big fallacy to talk about fate without talking about contribution in the Three Pseudo Dharmas; it is also a big fallacy to treat master, apprentice, and brother without distinction of rank. My master There are hundreds of disciples under him, but the disciples are not divided according to the order of entry, but according to their contribution to the Tianshi Sect. Take this Tanbu for example (Zhangbu's mother's surname is Tan, he changed his name to Tanbu ), he has already passed the test and became a Bingjin master in less than a year after being admitted. However, some fellow Taoists who have been in the religion for several years are not allowed to become Bingjin masters."
When Li Xiang and Yan Shi heard this, they already understood in their hearts that even if Tianshijiao had the art of immortality, it was not accessible to ordinary believers.
Yan Shi glanced at Li Xiang, and then continued to ask Xu Hua: "With such a status as a monarch, what status will you have after joining the religion? I heard that in the late Shang Dynasty, the Shu merchant cavalry general Ma Chao defected to Zhang Lu from Liangzhou. Immediately, he was given the title of "Jietou Jijijiu".
"My Celestial Master does not look at the actual identity when joining the religion, but only the identity within the religion. It is different from those three fake laws." Xu Hua said while stroking his beard. Seeing the slight disappointment on their faces, he added: "But still As Xu said just now, if you want to improve your status within the Celestial Master Sect, you will be divided according to the size of your contribution. With the status of General Zhendong and so many subordinates under his command, as long as General Zhendong joins our Celestial Master Sect, then he will be He has made a great contribution to our Celestial Master Sect. If we can further allow so many subordinates to join our Celestial Master Sect, the contribution will be unparalleled. The specific contribution is how big it is and what position he should occupy, because there has been no precedent before. , Xu dare not make false claims, this needs to be defined by our division. But based on Xu’s own estimation, the general’s contribution should be greater than that of Xu.”
Yan Shi and Li Xiang looked at each other again and said again: "We are remote people in Qinzhou and have never seen the magic of the immortal family. I wonder if the immortal master can show it to my prince today?"
"Hahahahaha," Xu Hua laughed and said, "This is easy! Tanbu, go get a bowl and bring some soil in outside."
Zhang Bu responded in his mouth, turned around and walked out. In a moment, he came back with an ordinary porcelain bowl in his hand filled with half a bowl of soil.
Xu Hua took the bowl, stood up and came to Li Xiang and Yan Shi, letting them look at it carefully. The dirt was obviously just caught from outside. Yan Shi was careful. He glanced at Zhang Bu's hands and saw that there was still a little dirt on them. The two nodded, knowing that this was just half a bowl of ordinary soil.
Xu Hua looked at the expressions of the two of them and smiled slightly. He dug his right hand into his sleeve and opened his palm. There were several seeds in his palm. Then watch him sprinkle the seeds into the bowl, still letting the two of them see clearly.
"Next, it's time to witness the miracle!" Xu Hua's voice was not loud, but his voice was full of strong confidence that could not be denied.
He holds the bowl in his left hand, and with his right hand fluttering above the bowl, his five fingers move up and down in a very rhythmic rhythm, while he murmurs words. Li Xiang and Yan Shi stared at the soil in the bowl, not daring to blink at all.
Suddenly, a little bit of tender green began to appear in the soil. The tender green became bigger and bigger, higher and higher. In a blink of an eye, the buds broke out of the soil and began to turn into leaves, one piece, two pieces, Even five or six tablets (Note 1).
"What a wonderful skill from the real immortal family!" Li Xiang and Yan Shi looked at each other and saw the unconcealed look of horror in each other's eyes, and couldn't help but exclaimed loudly.
Zhang Bu stood behind Xu Hua, looking at the different expressions of the three people, and couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth.
Xu Hua's Kung Fu was originally invented by Zhang Bu. He had performed such wonderful skills many times in front of the Qiang people. Every time, the barbarians were astonished. Many Qiang people even knelt down to him on the spot and said, Even called the Immortal Master.
How Zhang Bu became a missionary Taoist priest of Tianshi Sect is a long story.
That night, Zhang Bu took Shen Hui's family and his own family as a businessman to bid farewell to Shen Xiu and left Shangluo. Within a few days of leaving, he heard the news that Shen Xiu had been killed and King Zhao had been arrested. The whole group was immediately panicked. . Zhang Bu and Shen Hui naturally understood that if Shen Xiu fell, they would definitely be wanted. Fortunately, Shen Xiu had anticipated this situation and had made a fake face for each of them, and had already changed their identities. . But even so, as soon as their group passed through Wugong County, some of the slaves who were accompanying them secretly went to complain to the officials, and brought about a hundred people to arrest them overnight.
Relying on his strong martial arts skills, Zhang Bu fought his way through the night and escaped alone. He didn't care about Shen Hui at all, and he didn't even take his wife out.
From the glorious Captain Zhang of Shangluo to a homeless vagabond, the arrogant Zhang Bu wandered aimlessly like a lonely ghost. He had nowhere to stay and no one to turn to. Almost everyone in the world knew that he followed Shen Xiu to kill the King of Huainan, and no one dared to take him in.
Later, he met a team of refugees, and he joined them, doing various hard things every day. Farming, hunting, patrolling, chopping firewood, herding, etc. for others. As a person with no family at all, he did the hardest work and ate the worst food. He didn't dare to show off his cultivation, he was afraid of having his identity revealed. He even thought about committing suicide, but when it came to that moment, he was extremely nostalgic for this world.
Finally one day, he met Xu Hua who came to Hanzhong to preach.
glutinous rice
He didn't believe what Xu Hua said from the beginning, but when everyone was hesitating, he was the first to stand up and say that he wanted to join the Tianshi Sect. So, naturally, he was taken care of by Xu Hua. He concealed his identity from Xu Hua and only spread the word that he was a Cangtou in Shen Xiu's mansion. Everyone in Shen Xiu's family died, and Zhang Bu believed that Xu Hua would never expose his lies in his lifetime.
Because Zhang Bu knew how to read and had good cultivation skills, after joining the Tianshi Sect, he quickly became one of the key training targets in the sect.
It turns out that Zhang Bu's purpose of joining the Celestial Master Sect was very simple, hoping that the Celestial Master Sect could help him change his identity. Although he is in such a state of decline, he still firmly believes that he can make a comeback in the future. But when he went to Qingcheng Mountain as a key training disciple and saw all kinds of things in Tianshi Sect, his mind changed again.
He still didn't believe Xu Hua or even Fan Changsheng, who claimed to be a "Celestial Master" at all. What kind of creator, what kind of divine messenger, what kind of Supreme Laojun. He could never forget Shen Xiu's words in his heart: If there were gods in this world who had retribution, then I, Shen Xiu, would have been struck by lightning countless times.
Maybe there really are gods in this world, but gods are so busy, how can they have time to care about their own trivial matters?
My destiny is up to me, this is what Zhang Bu thinks deep down.
There is no distinction between cultivators in the Tianshi Sect and different grades of monks, but Zhang Bu found that even at his age, many people's spiritual power was much purer than his diligent cultivation. After staying in the mountain for a long time, and Zhang Bu's performance was really hardworking and outstanding, he gradually understood the reason. One is that the qi refining method taught by Fan Tianshi is extremely magical, and the other is that Tianshi teaches the secret of dual cultivation for men and women.
Every monk has spiritual veins in his body, and there are acupuncture points on the spiritual veins. If you want your spiritual power to be pure, you must constantly refine the acupuncture points on your spiritual veins so that they can filter out as many impurities as possible. But everyone's energy is limited, and their spiritual power is limited. In response to this situation, Master Fan Tianshi asked some male followers to practice some acupoints and asked female followers to practice another part. Then, through the art of dual cultivation, spiritual power travels through the spiritual veins in the two people's bodies to achieve the effect of one plus one being greater than two.
This made Zhang Bu very excited.
Power and cultivation are both things that Zhang Bu strives for. Looking at Xu Hua who is already in his sixties but still looks like he is in his forties, and looking at the senior members of the teaching who are even older than Xu Hua but still have rosy faces and are walking as fast as flying. Zhang Bu, who originally had no interest in the Tianshi Sect, couldn't help but secretly become cruel and vowed to climb up to the rank of official in the inner palace of the sect as soon as possible. Only when he reaches Su Gong Sanguan, will the sect designate a corresponding partner for him to marry, and will he be taught a small number of magical techniques for refining qi.
What attracted the attention of Xu Hua and even the higher-ups in the church was that ever since Zhang Bu began to travel around to attract believers, the number of believers in the areas where he preached has grown particularly rapidly. At first, many people thought it was a coincidence, but after trying to move Zhang Bu to several places, they found that it was always the same. Everyone knew that Tan Bu, who had not long joined the Tianshi Sect, must have his own uniqueness. .
Under Xu Hua's personal inquiry, Zhang Bu confessed his preaching methods. He never talked about the creation of the world by the Creator to those he preached to, because he himself did not believe it at all. Every time he went up, he would show these people the so-called "miracles" he had invented. The "immortal picking beans" and the "great transformation into a living person", coupled with some basic medical knowledge he learned during the training, made him perfect in preaching.
Xu Hua was stunned by these words.
Because since he followed his father and worshiped Fan Changsheng as a heavenly master, Fan Changsheng always emphasized to them the key points of preaching: atonement, not lying, equality among believers, dedication and fraternity. ah. But according to these words taught by Fan Tianshi, Xu Hua, who has been preaching for decades, has actually gained a lot, which is far less than Zhang Bu's rate of absorbing believers.
Xu Hua immediately reported this matter to Fan Changsheng. To Xu Hua's surprise, Fan Changsheng didn't say anything after hearing Zhang Bu's method. He just said one sentence: "Jintanbu is the master of Bingjinlu. Only you and him know the missionary techniques used by Tanbu. Don’t tell anyone else to wait.”
What Xu Hua didn't know was that after he respectfully left, Master Fan Tai Tian said to himself in a very low voice: "After traveling through time for so many years, did I finally meet another time traveler?"
"Father, I firmly disagree with the conditions they proposed." After Xu Hua and Zhang Bu left, Li Xiang first summoned his family to discuss. His eldest son Li Dang was furious after hearing the conditions mentioned by Zhang Bu, and immediately objected: "What kind of thing is their Tianshi religion? They want you, father, to be baptized into the religion in public in public. What has happened? Doesn’t this make you, father, their subordinate? Tens of thousands of us refugees have gone through successive battles, so many people have died and so much blood has been shed, that we have reached today’s situation. Oh my God Teacher, you just want to ride on your father's head with all your words. How can there be such a good thing in this world. What kind of immortal masters are you? In my opinion, they are all a bunch of charlatans."
After hearing Li Dang's words, Li Xiang's face did not change at all. He glanced at the people working on both sides and asked a handsome young man about twenty-six or seventeen years old: "Xiong'er, what are you doing?" watch?"
This Li Xiong is Li Xiang's second son. He is usually modest and cautious and doesn't like to speak loudly. However, every time he encounters a major event, he can always give advice that satisfies Li Xiang.
"What the elder brother just said is correct." Li Xiong looked at everyone looking at him and slowly said: "Let's not talk about who is the master and who is the slave. That will happen in the future. The top priority now is, I think. To break the dire situation we are facing now.”
When Li Xiong said this, not to mention other people, even Li Dang, who was usually impatient, began to think thoughtfully.
"Now we and Liang Yizhou are in an anxious state. Whoever can break this situation first will win the initiative in the next stage. Just now, my father said that Tianshi Jiaoyi can provide us with the urgent needs of food, and secondly, Tan Buhao said there is a route that can capture Wenshan County."
"Wenshan County is located in the mountains, what's the benefit of taking Wenshan County?" Li Dang frowned and questioned aloud.
"Although Wenshan County is a remote and remote area, there are nearly 20,000 households." Li Xiong continued to speak clearly in the face of his elder brother's doubts: "And these 20,000 households have been almost military households since ancient times. In the end, He is capable of conquering and fighting. Not only that, there are many Qiang people in Wenshan County. According to his father, Na Tanbu said that nine out of ten Qiang tribes in Wenshan County believe in their Tianshi religion. That's why he dared to say that there are a thousand Wenshan County can be taken with just a few troops."
"Although Wenshan County does not produce much grain, taking Wenshan County is the first step for us to break the situation. First, through victory, the morale of our refugee army will be more stable, and second, we can obtain a new force. Regarding the living conditions of the Qiang people and the military households in Wenshan County, as long as we give Jian Shuo and them the same conditions as Deyang County, we don’t have to worry about them not contributing to us. Back then, the first Lord of Shu merchants besieged CD for nearly a year, and finally became the oppressor. Isn't it the fact that Ma Chao defected to the First Lord of Shu Shang that was the last straw in CD City?"
