"The elixir of the mouth is the spirit of spitting out filth and removing odor, the spirit of the tongue is righteous, the spirit of regulating life and nourishing the spirit, the spirit of maintaining thousands of teeth, dispelling evil and protecting the truth, the law of urgency!"
"Lingbao Tianzun, comfort the body, purify the soul, the five internal organs are mysterious, the green dragon, the white tiger, the red bird, and the Xuanwu, guard me. Urgent order!"
"Tai Shang Tai Xing, constantly responding to emergencies, exorcising evil spirits and binding demons, protecting lives and bodies, having clear wisdom, peaceful mind, eternal king soul, and never losing soul. Urgent order!"
...
Chu Chen kept reciting the mantra to purify the mouth, purify the body, and purify the mind, and also recited the "Tai Shang San Yuan Sutra of Blessings, Forgiveness of Sins, Relief of Misfortunes, Elimination of Disasters, Prolonging Life, and Preserving Life".
Under the protection of the mysterious power, the "demonization" of the physical body was finally contained. The violent and demonic Lord Lu Yuanjun in the artistic conception was slightly restrained, and the situation did not continue to deteriorate rapidly.
In a short period of time, he was no longer in danger of exploding to death.
However, the situation is still not optimistic.
Chu Chen was practicing cultivation for the first time, and he had no way to practice Taoism. Chanting sutras and mantras could not kill the moon demon, nor could he expel it.
As his body continues to become "demonized", he is still in fear of his life.
At the critical moment, Chu Chen still remained calm.
"Since Master dares to let me practice on my own, it proves that he has already explained what he needs to explain. It is extremely abnormal for me to practice collecting medicine and meet the moon demon... Either I am too unlucky, or there is another reason."
Chu Chen thought of the Heart Temple.
The biggest difference between him and others is that he carries the mysterious inner temple with him.
On that day, Master Xu Ping was also secretly surprised that his human nature remained the same despite the aura of donkey demons entering his body. It was as if the inner temple was secretly protecting him, preventing demons from invading him.
"I wonder if the Heart Temple can help me get out of danger!"
Rather than sit and wait for death, Chu Chen chose to be a living horse doctor. He gritted his teeth and stopped chanting sutras and mantras. Instead, he meditated and called the "Heart Temple".
Without the divine protection of chanting sutras and chanting mantras, his whole body began to suffer severe pain again. His skin and bones felt as if they had been dropped into a hot oil pan and exploded, which was heart-wrenching.
However, just when he was in pain.
A magical scene happened, and the temple of the heart slowly emerged.
A majestic palace, with the inscription "All Dharmas Return to the Sect", the statues of gods in the palace bloom with countless golden lights, all the gods pay tribute, thunder flashes, and the five energies are rising...
The golden light illuminated Chu Chen's whole body from the inside out.
It's like the warm winter sun shining on the snow.
The "moon demon" with hidden lunar moonlight energy howled, melted little by little, merged into bits and pieces of milky white moonlight, and finally submerged into Chu Chen's limbs, bones, heart, liver, spleen, kidneys and lungs, three souls and seven souls...
The pain in my body disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by the ultimate comfort, as if I was in heaven.
"It really works!"
In the clean room, Chu Chen opened his eyes with a look of joy on his face.
The Heart Temple was more magical than he imagined.
In front of the altar, the Liuding Liujia and Hunyuan Talisman condensed in the sky disappeared, and Yun Hexiang also disappeared.
The moonlight silk and satin condensed with lunar energy also disappeared without a trace.
"Is this considered entry into Taoism?"
Chu Chen murmured to himself, carefully comprehending his practice experience.
His approach to spiritual practice is a bit special.
It is quite difficult for ordinary people to enter the Tao.
He succeeded once.
It can be said that he has good cultivation qualifications, and it is also possible that he has the help of the Heart Temple.
Maybe, both
Of course, the most bizarre thing was that he encountered a monster the first time he practiced collecting herbs.
Collecting medicine is a term used in alchemy practice, which refers to "the essence of heaven and earth, the root of vitality."
Some people take the path of "refining essence and transforming qi", using the physical body, Dantian, and acupoints as medicinal fields, sowing true seeds and collecting true medicines.
Some people absorb the essence of the sun and moon and take the path of "refining qi and nourishing essence" and "refining qi and nourishing spirit".
Each practice has different methods of collecting herbs.
But no matter which one you choose, you will encounter monsters while "gathering medicine".
"Self-sowing and self-gathering" has a low chance of encountering demonic obstacles, but cultivation is slow, and cultivation is improved little by little by hard work.
Practicing with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is fast, but it is also more dangerous.
Taoist priest Xu Ping once jokingly called it.
Practicing and collecting medicinal herbs using the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is like a big casino, and the devil outside the territory is the banker.
The first time a cultivator enters a casino, the dealer will definitely let you make money, let you taste the essence, let you sink into it, and finally make you lose everything with interest...
Cultivation is like a game between dog and bookmaker.
In the big sects, there are all kinds of secret methods of cultivation. Practicing the practice of picking herbs is like a con man, who has tried and failed and crazily plundered the banker's wool.
The misfortune of those who practice heresy and small sects is that if they are not careful, they can turn people into people, ghosts and ghosts, and become evil heretics.
Chu Chen met the Moon Demon for the first time when he practiced Taoism. This situation was really rare.
To put it bluntly, it means that the demons outside the territory do not respect martial ethics.
Fortunately, Chu Chen had the protection of the Heart Temple, which was considered a blessing in disguise and he gained a lot.
After the demonic thoughts of the Moon Demon collapsed, the pure and harmless aura of heaven and earth spirits was left behind. After absorbing it, his Taoism increased greatly, and there was a faint growth of Taoism mana.
Ordinary immortal cultivators, after entering the Tao, must practice diligently for at least a month before they can faintly develop magic power.
In addition, "Hunyuan Form Refining" focuses on form refining. After the cultivation level is greatly increased, the most intuitive thing is that the physical body becomes stronger and the strength is greater.
A few days ago, Chu Chen was carrying a bookcase on his back on the mountain road, and he was exhausted within an hour or two.
This time, I'm afraid it will be very easy.
"Am I taking advantage of the extraterrestrial demon?"
...
In the next few days, Taoist Xu Ping was still out and extremely busy.
Chu Chen and Xiao Guizai were looking after the house at home.
Chu Chen still practiced diligently every day.
However, instead of collecting the energy of Taiyin at night, he changed it to collecting the energy of the Sun during the day.
"Hunyuan Refining" uses the yin and yang energy of the sun and the moon for practice. If the yin is strong and the yang is weak, there will be problems in the practice. He has to adjust in time to balance the yin and yang qi in the body.
To collect the energy of the sun, generally you can only collect the purple energy of the morning sun. The energy of the sun at other times is too overbearing.
Not to mention Chu Chen, even Taoist Master Xu Ping did not dare to take in the energy of the noon sun for fear of turning into fly ash.
With the previous practice experience, the next practice went smoothly.
When collecting the energy of the sun, there were no more accidents and no encounter with the sun demon.
This made Chu Chen feel regretful.
...
"Senior brother, I haven't been back for seven or eight days. I'm about to run out of food. Woohoo!"
After practicing, the little kid approached Chu Chen with a sad expression on his face, holding an oil-paper umbrella.
Chu Chen was stunned and stopped practicing, with a worried look on his face.
The little devil is not a human being and cannot eat whole grains, which is a problem.
"Little devil, what are you eating?"
Chu Chen tentatively asked, in this world humans, gods, demons and ghosts live together. As long as you know the name and origin of "ghost food" and as a Taoist disciple, it shouldn't be difficult to get some.
"I eat the food-sprinkling charm. It's okay if someone recites the food-sprinkling spell for me. Then I can go to the city to play with my senior brother during the day. Otherwise, I can only hide in the jar and sleep. It's too boring."
When Chu Chen heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
It turns out that this is what "food shortage" is all about.
The little devil's "food" can be cut off or continued.
Without "food", the little ghost boy can't hang out with his Yinhun umbrella during the day at most, and he can't go out to play during the day.
These days, in addition to practicing, Chu Chen would ask his servants to hang out every day to learn about the local customs and integrate into this world as soon as possible.
The little ghost boy followed behind him every day holding the Yinhun umbrella, having a great time.
Now that he is "out of food", it's no wonder that the little ghost is very sad, fearing that Chu Chen will go out to play alone without him.
"Senior brother, it would be great if you could become a disciple earlier and have Taoist magic power. Alas, I have run out of food..."
The little ghost was in a very low mood and listless.
Chu Chen smiled when he heard this: "Little devil, who told you that I don't have magic power, senior brother..."
