"How's it going?" Master Sa Tian took a sip of tea, "Seeing that Wang Lingguan is all doing special effects, I don't know if it disappoints you."
"No, no, no." Wen Yuan and Han Xingzhi became even more excited. They originally thought it was just a special effect like a cartoon, but they didn't expect that it was really Lei Fa - it was simply an admissions promotion video for Shenxiao Sect.
"I almost want to switch to Shenxiao Sect!"
"Me too!" Even Han Xingzhi raised his hand.
"You two are from Ouchi and disciples of Daojun, so you should be happy. Don't rush to learn just because Shenxiao Sect is fun - if you want to learn, you can learn at any time. It's just that you are practicing Ouchi. Whether there is any spare power besides the exercises is another question.”
Sa Shoujian had no objection at all. But he also told the truth - the few in front of him were all well-trained. And in terms of success rate, the success rate of Ouchi Kung Fu is higher than that of other families, and people from Shenxiao Sect often go to work for Ouchi.
If you want to say where Shenxiao Sect is more powerful, it is fun. Tiandao Shadow Puppet and Spreading Beans into Soldiers are so fun, it’s so fun that it’s hard to resist.
"By the way, Sazu." Shangluo asked, "Are there any differences in the practice methods of the several Taoist sects today?"
"There is a big difference. For example, you can see that our Shenxiao sect specializes in talismans, and both Lei Xiu and Xuanxiu use talismans. If it is Qiu Tianshi's Quanzhen sect, they have Xuanxiu and Danxiu. However, they do not practice talismans, but open caves to practice in them, practicing both inner and outer elixirs. There are ten big caves, thirty-six small caves, and seventy-two blessed places; another example is the Wudang sect, which also has many different methods. , but they all enter the Tao through martial arts, and they learn martial arts - as for the Sword Immortal Sect, the Sword Immortal Sect does not have a mountain gate. All the wandering Taoists in the world can be regarded as belonging to the Sword Immortal Sect."
"So, what about Ouchi?"
"Well" Sa Shoujian thought for a while himself, "Aside from emphasizing the realm of inner alchemy, it's hard to say what exactly Ouchi cultivates. Ouchi cultivates thunder talismans, Qi cultivates martial arts, Xuanxiu opens up caves, and swordsmanship is everywhere. Running around. But after all, Ouchi is based on the Alchemy Sect. Although the way of alchemy is not obvious, you can see that everyone is in the state of alchemy cultivation - that is, joining the world. Joining the world is the practice of Ouchi. From Xu Fu In the beginning, alchemy requires a sponsor. The biggest sponsor is the imperial court. Now that the imperial court has the Heaven and Earth Furnace, it is of course the most convenient for them to refine the alchemy themselves."
"Ah" Wen Yuan and Han Xingzhi both agreed. Wen Yuan himself is a trainee Jin Yiwei. Apart from receiving salary, he does not have to worry about all the training resources. Han Xingzhi did not sign up, but his uncle was watching the gate below Yuxi Palace. His uncle's condition was obviously quite relaxed.
This situation does not exist in other mountain gates. Although the imperial court provides everyone with a "baseline level" of spiritual liquid, it is far from enough for cultivation. The Shenxiao, Wudang, and Quanzhen sects all had to raise their own funds.
Of course, it's not a big problem for them to raise their own funds. The Quanzhen Sect has a cave, which is self-sufficient most of the time, and can also produce heavenly materials and earthly treasures. The Wudang Sect worships Emperor Zhenwu and is the royal family temple with a large amount of funds and industry. As for the Shenxiao Sect, the Shenxiao Sect does not have a prominent sect. Because Leifa is a prominent scholar, the employment prospects are very good.
Cultivation of immortals has the right place for wealthy couples. On the premise that everyone's skills are at the same level, the Quanzhen sect has the blessed land of Cave Heaven, Wudang Mountain has the wealth of royal offerings, and the Shenxiao sect has connections. But Ouchi lacks nothing and has everything except tranquility.
Therefore, whether Shangluo, Wen Yuan or Han Xingzhi, if they did not intend to leave the world at the beginning, their best choice would be to stay in Da Nei and leave.
"So, you can learn whatever you want." Sa Shoujian said to a few people, "I will come to guide you regularly. If you have anything to ask, you can also ask through Shangluo. If you have enough energy to learn, you can learn a few The skill of the goalkeeper is not a bad thing. Who doesn’t want to spread the beans and make soldiers, right?”
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Wen Yuan and Han Xingzhi both nodded like clockwork monkeys, "Learn, learn, want to play."
"But only Shangluo, you must learn it. There are two reasons - first, learning magical powers is very important to you. This is the result of discussion between a few of us and Dao Ancestor. You must learn all magical powers, magic power, and martial arts. One The door cannot be closed. I don’t know about other families for the time being, but magical powers, especially the magical powers of talismans, are quite easy for you, and you can learn them quickly."
"Really? That fast?"
"Of course, that's too fast. Come on." Sa Shoujian turned out his palm, opened his fingers one after another, and a red date suddenly appeared.
"Oh!" Wen Yuan exclaimed, "Is this the legendary jujube spell!"
"Have you eaten yet?"
"No. I've heard of it, but I haven't eaten it."
"None of you have eaten?" Sa Shoujian asked everyone, and everyone nodded. Apart from Shangluo, only Yanqiu from the Shenxiao sect has eaten here.
"That's it." Sa Shoujian turned his hand again and pulled out a folding fan. I unfolded the folding fan and flipped it over again - a handful of dates came out from the white folding fan. There were seven big dates in total, a big handful, weighing two or three kilograms.
He motioned Shangluo to reach over, turned his hand and handed all seven dates to Shangluo's hand.
"So there are so many of them?"
"Cursing jujubes means changing the weight of a kilogram - cursing one jujube can yield seven coins. Cursing ten dates a day and getting seventy coins is enough for one day. People in our sect have learned the art of cursing dates, and they can get seven coins a day. , I won’t starve to death. But 70 yuan seems not enough in Yujing?”
"It's very expensive." Phaethon on the side replied, "In addition to rent and commuting expenses, the cost is about 70 cents per day. In addition, without the relevant health permit, food cannot be sold for business purposes."
"Sure enough, it's not easy to live in the capital for nothing. So Shangluo, have you learned it?"
"so?"
Shangluo also stretched out his hand and pulled out a date.
Once he saw Sazu perform it once, he immediately knew it - because it was very simple. From a heavenly perspective, it is as simple as eating and drinking. He didn't even feel that any spiritual energy was consumed, it was as easy as snapping his fingers.
When you are a child, you may find it difficult to snap your fingers. But when the time comes, and muscle strength and coordination are developed, you can learn to snap your fingers in an ordinary afternoon, just by stretching out your hand.
"Is it that simple?"
"Well, it's that simple." Sa Shoujian replied, "The art of cursing dates is an entry-level method, but it is easy to learn but difficult to master. Once you learn it, you can use it throughout your life. For example, there is a practice method - you curse seven dates every day. Then swallow it yourself. If you eat like this every day, you will become an immortal."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true. Of course, this practice method doesn't say anything about time. Anyway, you will definitely not starve to death after eating cursed dates. You can eat them every day, month after month, year after year, and you are still alive when the thunder tribulation comes. Get through it. Look, doesn’t this mean you will become an immortal? From this perspective, you can become an immortal by drinking water, because people who become immortals have all drank water. And jujube and jujube are not different."
Shangluo also noticed that the jujube he just conjured didn't look very tasty.
"Legend has it that Li Shaojun, an alchemist in the Western Han Dynasty, had a conversation with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Li Shaojun said that he had met the Immortal of the East China Sea, who was a loose immortal who attained enlightenment in the pre-Qin Dynasty. The Immortal asked him to eat 'eat giant jujubes, as big as melons'. If you can also do it, If you eat 7 jujubes as big as melons a day, you will not be far away from becoming an immortal."
