To be honest, the bronze essence made by buying hundreds of thousands of mountain money is by no means a soft persimmon, but can be called a tyrant in the mountain. After all, those money snakes can recover even if they are shattered into pieces, and they are also highly poisonous. Monkeys like this When encountering ordinary creatures, there is only one word of death.
It's a pity that it provoked Lao Mandrill and Qi Jingzhi, and it immediately fell ill. It died in an instant, leaving only copper coins and a bluestone slip on the ground.
An old mandrill and a young man were on the road, but the fight lasted only a moment. It was much easier than when they faced the tiger spirit and the ghost boy. This was the benefit of having the blessing of their ancestors and the guidance of their masters.
Lao Mandrill obviously got the inheritance from his ancestors. Not only did he recognize the so-called "ancient mountain slips" at a glance, he could also understand the Taoist cloud seals on the bluestone slips, but he was obviously not very interested.
Seeing that Qi Jingzhi was willing to recite, he simply put the bluestone slip into the young man's hand.
Qi Jingzhi read the nearly 100-word inscription on it, and his eyes shone with strange light: "Breathing dragon energy and cultivating Linde? It sounds like a method to conquer the wild nature of the earth... Zhu Yihou used the veins of Longyan Mountain The dragon's energy feeds mountain dragons, then steams them and eats them, which seems to be quite similar to this."
"Linshan, Linzhou Huaide County, Linde Pavilion...these names are indeed not chosen randomly."
"This senior named Xuan Zhen claims to have been the master of the mountain for a hundred years, and his tone is even more outrageous. If he is not boasting, there is no way a small pine mountain can accommodate him. It is impossible to say that he is the God of Linshan in the past."
"Xuan Zhen...Xuan Zhen?"
Although the name was unfamiliar, Qi Jingzhi felt that it was somewhat familiar.
But before he could think about it carefully, Lao Mandrill on the side suddenly said: "The word Xuan Zhen... I seem to have heard my ancestor mention it once in my dream."
The servant of the mountain god frowned and tried to think back for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes, my ancestors heard that I was in Linshan, so they smiled and said..."
"The yin essence of Lin Gai Xuan'o is also said to be the yin essence of the year's stars scattered to form Lin, which is the essence of the wood. The male is called Qi, and the female is called Lin."
After saying that, Lao Mandrill scratched the back of his head, obviously confused by these words that were imprinted in his heart.
"Suixing?"
Qi Jingzhi was startled when he heard this, and then he slapped his forehead and came to his senses: "I actually forgot that when Master was teaching the art of Lu Lu to regulate Yang, he once mentioned the ancient star system of counting years."
"Sui, the star of Jupiter, travels through the twenty-eight constellations, spreading throughout Yin and Yang, once in twelve months. This 'Xuanzhu' is exactly one of the twelve stars that the Sui star passes through!"
The Fengniao family in Xianyu Mountain has the knowledge of astronomy and calendar passed down from generation to generation, one of which is the technique of Lu Lu to regulate Yang.
Qi Jingzhi stayed in his cave for a month. Although he only got a little bit of this thaumaturgy, and he was more interested in the application of music, and did not know how to coordinate yin and yang, correct the calendar, and calculate the solar terms, he was still more or less capable. Gained some knowledge.
His eyes lit up with understanding. Looking at the confused old man, he thought that one day he would preach to others and solve their doubts. He couldn't help but chuckle and said: "It's actually very simple. It only needs a little explanation." , seniors will understand.”
"The Year Star is Jupiter. This star travels around the sky, passes through the twenty-eight constellations, and travels through the twelve yin and yang stars. And every twelve months, that is, every year, the Year Star will pass through a specific star field. This way There are twelve star fields in total, called Twelve Times, also called Twelve Star Times.”
"The twelve stars, from west to east, are Xingji, Xuanzhu, Cuozi, Jianglou, Daliang, Shichen, Quail's head, Quail's fire, Quail's tail, longevity star, Huohuo, and Ximu."
"According to this order, the Sui star passes through one star every year, and twelve years is a cycle. When the Sui star moves to the 'Star Ji' area, it will be recorded in the history books as 'Sui in the Star Ji'," and the next year will be It's 'Sui Zai Xuan'. "
"Later, because twelve years were too short and easy to refer to unclearly, the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches were added, with five weeks, that is, sixty years, as one cycle, starting with the Jiazi year, which was recorded as 'years in Jiazi'. "
Qi Jingzhi paused, collected his thoughts and then concluded: "According to the theory that Xuanzhen's Yin essence and Sui Xing dispersed and became Qilin, the magical beast Qilin should be the one when Sui was in Xuanzhen, and the Sui Xing was the star of Jupiter. Born from the essence.”
"Whether the word Xuan Zhen on this bluestone slip is a name or a Taoist title, it undoubtedly points out the path of this senior. Only then can he be able to 'breathe dragon energy and cultivate virtue'. It is no wonder that after he committed a mistake, He will be demoted to Linshan. I think it is both punishment and atonement, and it is also a unique practice."
Hearing this, Lao Mandrill's eyes had already lost their luster, and he squatted on the ground in a daze, one paw gently digging into the pile of money, obviously wandering in his thoughts.
Seeing this, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Not everyone can be this teacher. Fortunately, I am quite talented and learned Lu Lu's method of regulating yang smoothly. Otherwise, with the temper of the master, I am afraid he will be angry to death." .”
He immediately stopped talking, lowered his head again, turned over the bluestone slip in his hand, and saw two columns of small characters carved on it: "Yudong Jade Calendar, Longhan Yankang, Chiming Kaitu, Yuanshi'an Town" .”
"Creation is mysterious and boundless, protecting misfortunes and making heaven last forever."
Compared with the prayer of confession and confession on the other side, these two columns of small characters are much more mysterious. Qi Jingzhi didn't have much exposure to Taoist classics, so he couldn't figure out the reason for a while.
However, when he saw the words "Yuanshi" and "Creation", he still had a rough guess in his mind.
The former coincides with the four characters "Yu Jing Yuan Shi" enshrined in the Wuji Hall of Xuandu Temple, and the latter reminds him of the Taoist Palace of Creation, one of the three palaces in Xiaogushan. Both of these places happen to be places where Taoist ancestors are worshipped. .
"Creation is mysterious and boundless... The Wuji Cliff where this senior Xuan Zhen is located may be one of the Dagu Mountains affiliated with the Taoist Palace of Creation."
Qi Jingzhi turned to look at Lao Mandrill again and asked, "Senior just now said that this object is an ancient mountain slip. Do you think you know its origin and use?"
Lao Mandrill came back to his senses, scratched his head, stared at the memory and said slowly: "About this, my ancestors also mentioned it in their dreams, it's called... Dragon Jumping Slip."
"It is said that this is a Taoist prayer method handed down from ancient times. It is necessary to set up an altar, set up a ritual ceremony, carve your wishes on the slips, and put them together with jade bis and golden dragons. The words on the slips can be uploaded after being passed down by Jinlongyi. Datian listens.”
Lao Mandrill spoke very slowly, obviously remembering the teachings of his ancestors in his heart, and now he repeated them word for word to Qi Jingzhi.
"Literary slips can be divided into mountain slips, earthen slips and water slips. The mountain slips are thrown into the cliffs of the Tiandong Mansion in Lingshan to report to the heavenly official Shangyuan; the earthen slips are buried in the ground to report to the local official Zhongyuan; The water slips were thrown into Tandong Shuifu to tell the water official to go to the Yuan Dynasty."
"In addition, each lineage of the Taoist sect has its own secret text for offering sacrifices to the wild, which can be used by future generations of disciples to surrender to the sect and pay homage to their ancestors."
Lao Mandrill breathed a long sigh of relief, thought for a while and then added: "My ancestors passed down the Baiyun Cave style slips. They said that if they wanted to tell their ancestors something, they would use this method to send messages."
Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but be surprised.
This so-called dragon-throwing slip goes up to heaven to listen to and inform the three officials of heaven, earth, and water. It sounds like it is related to the ancient heaven. As for the secret texts of the Taoist sects, it is obviously for the convenience of disciples with insufficient cultivation, so that they can pray to the gods. The master sect in Wuji Wilderness sends a message.
With the level of cultivation of Senior Xuanzhen, there was no need to go through such a big deal. However, he made a mistake and was demoted, so he did not dare to act rashly, so he used such a grand method to send a message to Wujiya.
The lineage of Xianyu Xuandu has long been cut off from Baiyun Township, and the new secret realm of the sect has not yet been successfully opened. There is nowhere to send letters. The master of Xuandu Temple has never mentioned throwing dragon slips, nor has he taught anything about throwing. It’s no surprise that it’s a simple secret.
After Qi Jingzhi satisfied his curiosity, he returned the mountain slips to Lao Mandrill, and then they walked out of the cave and jumped out of the mountain stream.
He raised his head and watched for a moment, and said curiously: "If I read it correctly, I should be in Xuanzhen this year!"
Qi Jingzhi suddenly paused, turned his head and glared at Lao Mandrill: "Senior, could it be that your young master..."
Before the young man could finish his words, Lao Mandrill suddenly grinned, tightened his grip on the mountain slips in his hand, jumped up high, and roared away in the direction he came from.
Things got together and Quanqin was ruined. This was the first time since it was put on the shelves. Money is a trivial matter. The main thing is that if you just guarantee it, you will slap yourself in the face and no one will. . From now on, I won’t be shameless enough to make false promises. Just watch my performance. .
