Hua Xi turned to Hua Lin and said: "Lin'er, since you are a fellow Taoist of the Jian Sect, you should be trustworthy. Why don't you invite the fellow Taoist to stay home for a few days and wait for Xiao Hei to come out of the spirit beast bag. "
Hua Lin hummed, "I said the same thing, but this fellow Taoist doesn't seem to be very happy."
The two brothers and sisters sang in harmony, which made Liu Qingyan feel a bit reluctant to refuse.
Seeing that Liu Qingyan was still hesitant, Hua Xi pointed to the Xuanyu Sect disciple jade plaque on his waist: "Fellow Taoist, you should know that Xuanyu Sect and Jianzong have always been on good terms, and I, a disciple of Xuanyu Sect, have always been on good terms. I will do something unjust to the disciples of the Sword Sect. If my fellow Taoist doesn't believe it, I will swear an oath from the inner demon." After saying that, he ignored Hua Lin's intention to stop him and swore an oath from the inner demon.
In this way, Liu Qingyan relaxed and agreed to stay at Hua's house temporarily.
The Hua family is one of the top cultivating families in Luo City. The entire mansion occupies an extremely large area. The magnificent and carved buildings in the mansion are almost the same as the palaces in the secular world. Liu Qingyan has never left his hometown West Village before coming to the world of cultivation. But when I was young, I secretly heard that Mr. Shu described the appearance of the palace. The scene sketched in my mind at that time actually overlapped with the scene in front of me.
However, when placed in the world of cultivation, such a building loses some of its immortality. The mist-shrouded fairy mountain paradise like Jian Zong is the place of cultivation in his mind.
Naturally, Hua Xi would not bring Liu Qingyan in through the main entrance. The three of them walked along the wall of the Washington Palace for a while, turned a corner, and walked closer for a while before walking into a side door. It was said to be a side door, but in fact it was not. It is very ornate and looks more like the main entrance than the main entrance of ordinary wealthy households.
After entering the door, servants in the mansion came and went in an endless stream. When they saw Hua Xi and Hua Lin, they stopped to salute and respectfully called them "Young Master" and "Second Miss", and they seemed to be very accustomed to this kind of treatment. , calmly took Liu Qingyan and walked straight to the guest room.
This was the first time for Liu Qingyan to come to such a place, and the first time to see such a wealthy scene. He really wanted to walk slower and see more of the exquisite arrangements around him, but in the end, he was overwhelmed by a disciple of the Sword Sect. Even though he was a handyman disciple, he could not lose the reputation of the Sword Sect, so he pretended to follow Hua Xi and Hua Lin to the guest room without looking away, only daring to sneak a few glances at the surroundings with his peripheral vision.
After twisting and turning and passing through countless rockeries, lakes, flowers and trees, they arrived at the guest room where Liu Qingyan wanted to live. After instructing the servants not to neglect the guests, Hua Xi and Hua Lin left the place. Let Liu Qingyan settle down happily.
The spirit beast bag was still in Liu Qingyan's hands. It was probably because they were in Washington and they knew he couldn't cause any trouble, so they felt safe leaving the spirit beast bag with him. If it was really taken away by Hua Lin, Liu Qingyan would Qingyan's heart must not be at peace, after all, Amao is still inside!
Living in Washington, Liu Qingyan couldn't practice martial arts and swordsmanship with peace of mind. After thinking about it, he took out the jade slip of "Fundamentals of Talismans" and began to study it word by word.
The opening chapter is a general outline: The talisman is the Tao, which creates all things. It turns left to the path of heaven and earth, and to the right the sun and the moon. Those who are accustomed to my talisman should know this!
Even though this was just a sentence from "Basics of Talisman Tao" written on the street, it was the same as the first sentence of the Talisman Jade Slip obtained from the Mingyu Peak Stone Chamber. Liu Qingyan immediately knew that this sentence was profound and profound and should be implemented throughout his Fu Tao career.
He is so ambitious in creating all things. A small piece of talisman paper with a few cinnabar can create such a miraculous effect. Later, it was said that it can make the universe and the earth shine together, and the sun and the moon shine together, and it can reverse the universe and turn the sun upside down. With the effect of the moon, when the Tao of Talisman reaches its peak, what power it will have to destroy the heaven and the earth!
Thinking of this, Liu Qingyan felt an incomparable yearning in his heart. In the past, he only knew that he could reach great perfection in the way of swordsmanship. He could split the sky with one sword, reach great perfection in body refining, and support the heaven and earth. Now that he has come into contact with the way of talisman, Only then did we know that this Tao is also full of changes and infinite mysteries. How can the words that create all things be said casually? Using a talisman pen in your hand to splash ink and a piece of paper to transform all things into being, this is the ultimate goal pursued by people in the Tao of Talisman.
In the world of cultivation, any means that directly points to the great road, whether it is Taoism, exercises or miscellaneous knowledge, are not simple. Even if practitioners spend their whole lives studying, most of them can only scratch the surface. For personal use, it requires perseverance and strong understanding.
Liu Qingyan is also aware of this, so he is not greedy for too much in the process of cultivation, but also attaches great importance to the basics. His cultivation is based on the Five Elements Body Refining Technique, focusing on polishing his body's muscles, bones, skin and flesh, and his attack methods only focus on swordsmanship. Although he is not a real swordsman, he still demands himself according to the standards of swordsmanship, and plans to go further in the way of swordsmanship. In terms of miscellaneous studies, judging from the current plan, he is to practice Talismanism. Of course, if he does this There is really no talent on the road, so let’s talk about it separately.
This does not mean that he does not practice other Five Elements spells. As a monk with spiritual roots, Five Elements spells must be learned. Liu Qingyan just does not use them as the main means of attack.
Continuing to read, the jade slip also outlines some powers that can be obtained after cultivating the Tao of Talisman to the extreme. They are all mysterious and mysterious words. After reading these carefully, Liu Qingyan saw the first set of runes, water. Arrow talisman, fireball talisman, transformation talisman, golden thorn talisman, earth wall talisman, these are the most basic five-element runes.
Considering his spiritual roots and current needs, Liu Qingyan decided to practice the Earth Wall Talisman first.
Having made a decision in his heart, Liu Qingyan took his thoughts out of the jade slip and looked up. It was already dark and starry outside the window. Only then did he realize that he read a section of the jade slip "Basics of Talismans and Taoism" Overall, I spent so much time unknowingly.
Suddenly, his thoughts moved slightly. He took a few steps to the door and opened it. He saw that it was the servant who was appointed by fellow Taoist Hua Xi to serve him. Liu Qingyan asked: "What's important outside my door so late at night?" ?”
The servant respectfully replied: "Because the distinguished guest has not passed on the dinner, I brought the dinner over, but I was afraid of rashly disturbing the distinguished guest's practice, so I kept waiting outside the door."
Liu Qingyan looked at the food box in his hand and understood. After taking the food box, he thought for a while and handed a Qi Condensing Pill to the servant. The Qi Condensing Pill is mainly used by low-level monks who practice Qi. It is useless for him to hold it in his hand now to increase his spiritual energy. Moreover, he rarely uses pills to assist him in daily practice. Master Qin also fully agrees with his approach.
This servant is a mortal. Naturally, he cannot take all the elixirs at once. Looking at the servant who is holding the elixir in his hand and thanking him so much, Liu Qingyan warned: "You are not a practitioner. This elixir is too powerful. You may If you cannot bear it, when taking it, you only need to scrape a layer of powder on the surface of the elixir with your fingernail, dissolve it in water and drink it. You can only take it again after an interval of more than ten days. If you take it in this way, this elixir will prolong your life. The effect is, if you are too impatient, it may be detrimental to you, remember!"
The servant kowtowed again and thanked him. Liu Qingyan stopped his movements and waved him back. She turned around with the already cold food box and placed it on the Eight Immortals table in the room. She silently recited the spiritual formula. After nearly ten breaths, , and then a few wisps of flames were generated to heat the food.
This is the disadvantage of not having fire spiritual roots. If he uses golden spiritual power to generate golden arrows, with his current level, he can do it in just two or three breaths. This is true for using wood spiritual power to generate seeds and earth spiritual power to condense earth shields. , as for the magic formula that requires water spiritual power and fire spiritual power, it is necessary to convert the spiritual power of other systems into water and fire spiritual power before casting the spell. It takes ten breaths to do it. This is already the result of his forced practice. , if it were to generate a small fireball at the original speed, it would probably take fifteen to twenty breaths to do it.
If he were to cast water and fire spells against the enemy at such a speed, it would take a while for the daylilies to cool down after he successfully transformed his spiritual power before casting the spell.
After dinner, Liu Qingyan sat cross-legged on the couch and used the Qi-Entraining Technique to strengthen the body and cleanse the muscles and veins. This technique can recharge energy, eliminate fatigue, and replace sleep. Sudden interruption will not be harmful to the body. It is very Suitable for his current situation.
Although Hua Xi agreed to live in Washington temporarily, and Hua Xi also swore to her inner demons that she would not harm him, Liu Qingyan still could not let down her guard. He was not familiar with this place, and he was only a young monk at the sixth level of Qi training. He might lose his life if he was not careful, so he could not afford to take it lightly.
In the next few days, Hua Xi and Hua Lin did not show up, so Liu Qingyan continued to practice the Qi Entraining Technique and figure out the runes of the earth wall talisman in the room. However, he got his elixir. The servant was very dedicated and sent the meals. The snacks are also delicious.
Until the fifth day, Liu Qingyan was focusing on the spirit beast bag, waiting for the restriction to be lifted, and immediately releasing Amao and Xiao Hei. Hua Lin and Hua Xi finally appeared.
As soon as they came over, they heard Hua Lin shouting: "The five-day period has come, why doesn't Xiao Hei come out?"
Hua Xi always felt helpless towards Hua Lin's impatience: "Lin'er, please be patient. Let's listen to what Fellow Daoist Liu has to say."
Liu Qingyan was about to speak. Suddenly, he thought that the spirit beast bag had regained contact with him. He quickly opened it, only to see two spirit beasts jumping out of the spirit beast bag.
Xiao Hei, the spiritual dog that was originally shiny and full of energy, has now become wilted and very depressed. The originally thick black hair is sparsely drooping, with a patch of hair on the east and a patch missing on the west, and there are also many spots on the body. With traces of bite marks, it stood dejectedly in front of Hua Lin. Liu Qingyan keenly discovered that there seemed to be a few suspicious white hairs on its sharp teeth.
Quickly looking at Ah Mao squatting in the palm of his hand, Liu Qingyan couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, Ah Mao, you have been so arrogant all your life, never thought you would have this day!
