"To control all directions?"
Bai Qi stared at the line of words, spread his fingers and grasped them, as if he wanted to feel something slipping out of his palms:
"How to do this? Isn't the inspiration the pure and pure energy naturally emitted by mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, sun, moon, and stars? According to the book, the form and quality are vague, and everything comes from nothing, just like emptiness. .
How could they all be...taken under the ownership of Longting? The method is really terrible, no wonder it can end the millennium of Taoist mourning and rule the country in Chi County! "
Reading can indeed greatly increase your knowledge. Many of the original confusions are now easily solved.
"If Longting masters all the changes in the world and can control them at will, then the tax collection, levy, and even the government offices in Heihe County will be useless, and it really doesn't seem to be a big deal.
Because the lifeline is always tightly held in the hands, no matter how much power is delegated to the local government, it will not affect the overall situation. "
Bai Qi immersed himself in reading for a while. When the candlelight became dim, he put down the "Tongxing Sanji", which was almost an unofficial history.
He concluded that the canonization of Taoist officials mentioned by Uncle Dao was similar to the examination and compilation in the previous life.
After receiving the "name" granted by Longting, you can express your ideas in a reasonable and legal manner, enjoy superior training treatment, and sit in various major cities and counties on weekdays, only following the orders of the imperial edict.
Immortal masters are even more unfettered, because they come from a large sect, and it is convenient for them to travel around the world.
If it is the true successor, the Holy Son, etc., there is still the authority to kill first and report later.
"The first of the three titles! As expected of the one appointed by the Dragon Court, the Master!"
Bai Qi clicked his tongue twice. Heihe County was really not a big place in comparison.
Even if there are fish pens, firewood markets, fire kilns, and martial arts entrenched, it is just a small fight.
Presumably for those immortal masters and Taoist officials who are ranked third and have eyes higher than the top.
Everything here is like ant dust, not worthy of even the slightest glance.
“You can have a long-term vision, but you have to be down-to-earth in doing things.
Before the roc spread its wings for 90,000 miles, it had to nest in the low hills and eat bugs. "
Bai Qi had no idea of being discouraged, so he stretched his body, stretched his muscles and bones, and specially selected an ancient book about "Taoist Art and Refining God".
"The reason why Taoism is difficult to get started is that it is more demanding than practicing martial arts. In addition to the lack of conditions for Longting to control all directions, it is also because the external requirements are numerous and trivial, and the financial resources are far beyond the path of martial arts.
Because the environment of the world has changed drastically, it is no longer possible to meditate and practice Qi as before. Another way has been derived, which is to take food to replenish the body, and to live without food. "
He was blessed with the skill of literacy and hyphenation, and he could read ten lines at a time. The more he read, the more surprised he became.
The first step in Taoist art is to take bait.
This level adheres to the concept of "repairing form with form, ingesting food and refining essence".
From the mortal things in heaven and earth, the true energy of immortality is collected, allowing the mortal body to gradually transform.
Initially, mild wood, stone and herbs were used to harmonize the internal organs;
Then swallow the cinnabar and stalactite and refine it with your wits.
When the internal organs and intestines and stomach can gradually eliminate hard objects, they can be upgraded to lead, mercury, gold and jade.
Eating only these things is like a person eating wine, meat and food.
Do not touch rice for seven days, fifteen days, or even one month.
This is the first stage, taking bait and achieving great success.
Then proceed to the next step, enter samadhi to hold the fetus, and give birth to the origin of essence and blood!
"...It's like taking drugs to become an immortal, extremely heavy on kryptonian gameplay!
I feel that my family's wealth is less than a hundred thousand taels, and I don't have the means to make a fortune every day, so I don't deserve to be involved at all!
In comparison, the cost of practicing medicinal baths is simply cheap and pitiful.
The cultivation of immortality in my imagination is completely different from what I imagined. "
Bai Qi twitched the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but curse, these immortal masters and Taoist officials were playing so high-end.
However, after thinking about it carefully, I felt that it was a helpless move.
"In the final analysis, the disaster of Taoism still spreads widely, and the spiritual energy is out of order, like a tide retreating rapidly.
This book mentioned that the monks in the past stayed in the cave to meditate and practice Qi, and they could make progress every day. There were also luxury items like "spiritual stones" that could be used for self-cultivation. Nowadays, it is simply unimaginable. "
Fortunately, Bai Qi thought that it was not easy for Lao Dao to get started with Taoism because he had some qualification restrictions such as the Five Elements Spiritual Roots.
I didn't expect that it was just a hint that I was too poor, so I gave up my thoughts as soon as possible.
"Taoism and alchemy are often compiled into books in secret texts. If you don't know how to master them, it will be difficult to read the big characters.
There are also people who are born with special physiques and can sense the spirituality in them and roughly understand the meaning of the contents.
For example, the kind of spiritual boy with "yin and yang eyes", or the innocent heart that communicates with the spirits of plants and trees, it seems that Adi is like this.
If you don’t know the secret text, you don’t have the qualifications in this area.
Usually stimulation with heart blood or fingertip blood can have an effect. "
Bai Qi breathed a sigh of relief. Adi knew the alchemy secret text on the yellow paper. According to the explanation in the book, the soul is sensitive and the mind is pure, so it is easy to detect subtle changes in the surroundings.
Like the spiritual children who were able to open their yin and yang eyes in their previous lives, due to the special year and month of their birth or other reasons, they can have subtle insights, which is commonly known as "seeing ghosts".
As for Wang Laizi's skill in making bait, he probably relied on such stupid methods as blood from his heart and fingertips.
"I thought my brother was some unparalleled genius, a genius in cultivating immortals... In the future, one person will achieve enlightenment, and chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven, so that I can also enjoy peace and happiness."
Bai Qi thought jokingly and closed the cover of the book.
Seeing that it was already dark outside, he thought that his brother was still waiting at home, so he wanted to get up and go out.
His eyes flashed and he called out the ink jar.
[Skill: Reading and Hyphenation (Xiao Cheng)]
[Progress: 695/800]
[Efficacy: After reading a hundred times, the meaning will be apparent to you, and you will gradually achieve something by drawing parallels]
"Reading books increases knowledge and helps improve skills."
Bai Qi picked out a few miscellaneous books about local customs, customs, and anecdotes about unofficial history. After asking Uncle Dao for permission, he left Tongwen Hall.
On the way, I packed some cooked food with lotus leaves at a foot shop and walked back to the house in Erxianqiao in the dark.
…
…
Duijin Street, Yangzhai.
The mourning shed on the long street has been removed. After receiving the reward, the tea master left with the group of people who played and played.
The cold wind blew through the paper money, and the old servant at home bent down and held a lantern to watch the night, looking after the door to see if it was bolted to prevent thieves from sneaking in.
His steps were unsteady, like a lame man limping.
"I don't know if the stove is still hot. Make a bowl of meat porridge and send it to Master Meng. He hasn't had water or rice in several days."
The old servant's name is "Uncle Zhong". He was once a villager in Datianwan. Because he knew a few words, he often worked as a gang with cargo ships.
As a result, he happened to catch up with the most rampant group of water thieves ten years ago, Anti-Tiandao, and was almost hacked to death.
It took two days and two nights of soaking in the Heishui River to save half of his life. From then on, the root cause of the disease fell into his hands and he became an old cold leg.
Uncle Zhong originally thought of going back to report the news, but he didn't expect that the nearby villages had been looted and the houses were burned clean.
Without his wife and property, he could only sell himself into a fish farm and work as a handyman.
Fortunately, Mr. Meng took extra care of him and took him with him to do things, so he had enough to eat.
"Brother Quan, I have watched him grow up. I taught him how to read and write, but he was picked up and eaten by the demon fish. God is so cruel, and let Mr. Meng send a man with white hair to a man with black hair."
Perhaps because he was getting older, Uncle Zhong would always think of the past, when his mother-in-law leaned against the door with a big belly, saying nothing, bending her eyes and smiling lightly.
"Oh, this is such a bullshit world, no good people are rewarded."
