"So... things like traveling to heaven and earth, retrieving objects from the air, breathing fire and thunder, wielding swords and flying into the sky... are all true?" He Nan frowned and picked at his teeth with a chicken wing bone. slit, while his eyes kept staring at Dongfang Watch.
He Nan has a strong ability to accept new things. After personally experiencing the actions of the Thousand-faced Immortal and having Dongfang Tuo personally demonstrate it in front of him, he believed that there really is a "magic" in this world.
Dongfang Watcher's mind was not on He Nan. His main target now was the whole mutton leg bone in front of him, so he just nodded perfunctorily. It’s quite interesting to say that Dongfang Watcher didn’t have much money when he came. He had already used up all the money he had with him. Originally, he thought about asking He Nan for money to go back and then immediately set off back to Haofengshan Tuanyun Temple. He It was unbelievable that someone had come all the way to save him. Even if Dongfang Watcher didn't ask for it, he would still have to give it to him. Moreover, seeing that Master Tao's clothes were already stained, he took him to have a nice meal and then take a bath. Ichiban.
As a result, this feast changed Dongfang Tuo's return to his original intention - he had been practicing Taoism in the mountains since he was a child. Although the Taoist sect did not pay too much attention to the meat and vegetables of the food, the taste was still a bit bland after so many years. When I come to Dongfang Watch, I always feel that the taste of meat and vegetables is just like this. Even if occasionally my colleagues come down to bring them some human fireworks, Dongfang Watch is either because I am too lazy to catch up with this good opportunity, or because there are too few varieties and I have not tried it. Nothing new comes out.
After seeing Dongfang Watcher's ability, He Nan was tempted to keep this Taoist priest by his side, but seeing how listless and stoic this guy was, he really didn't know what he could do to seduce him. After thinking about it, I didn’t expect it, so in the end I could only take it one step at a time. The first step was to take Brother Dongfang to have a meal at the best restaurant in Kui County to express his gratitude. It turned out that this was the right step - Dongfang Watcher only said this during the meal. These few words:
"Let's have a plate of vegetarian fried pancakes. Just two pounds of beef."
"I want two more pounds of beef."
"I want two more pounds of beef."
"Except for this, this, and this, please have a portion of everything else..."
In short, Dongfang Watcher's appetite was so great that this meal cost He Nan about twenty taels of silver. This was one of the most extravagant meals He Nan had spent on since he was born, second only to visiting the tomb on August 15th. You must know that He Nan's full salary for one year was only enough for these two meals. Qi Dan had already helped the villagers in Xiaoshan rebuild the village. Even if Dongfang Watcher was asked to borrow it this time, it was still borrowed from the county magistrate.
Although He Nan felt some physical pain, he also felt that the meal was worth the money. After this meal, Dongfang Watcher never mentioned the matter of returning to the mountains. It seemed that he really had not cultivated his Taoist heart and was still greedy. The appetite is fast. He Nan was distressed to be able to keep this giant Buddha by his side, but he was even more happy - as long as he had a good relationship with Dongfang Watcher, he could control the wind and rain in a literal sense!
Although Dongfang Watch didn't know much about the world, he felt a little embarrassed after knowing that He Nan treated him to a meal that was equivalent to half a year's income, so he agreed to stay with He Nan for a while. Well! So although I will still rely on He Nan for relief in the future, I won't be as gluttonous as the first time.
"Since these extraordinary spells are real, then people can also become immortals?" He Nan asked, he was very interested in this.
Dongfang Watch was also half full at this time. He moved the twelve large bowls piled in front of him and looked at He Nan: "Theoretically, yes, my ancestor is one of the few in the world. There is a chance that someone can become an immortal, but if someone really ascends in the daytime... then I have never seen it."
He Nan blinked: "Then what do you think of me? Do you have any talent in this area?"
"Are you talking about cultivating the Tao? Or ascending?" Dongfang Tuo wiped his mouth and burped: "If it's the former, I can help you take a look. For the latter, you can just dream. We'll take the records of Yun Guan and even the entire history. There aren’t many people who can really ascend.”
"The former is fine, the former is fine, what do you want to know? Taking pulse or reading palms? Fortune telling or reading faces?" He Nan rolled up his sleeves enthusiastically and stretched out his bamboo pole-like arms in front of Dongfang Watcher's eyes.
"No need." Dongfang Watch motioned He Nan to take his hand back, "Do you know true energy?"
He Nan nodded: "I know, I have a friend who is a master in this, but I personally... don't understand this method of cultivation."
Dongfang Tuo nodded slightly, seeming to think that since He Nan knew the true energy, it would be much easier to explain: "In fact, the true energy and the 'Tao power' required to use spells are similar to some extent. True energy has the same purpose but the same purpose. It is a person who accumulates and adjusts "Qi" through the Qi in the body and uses it; Dao power is when people use "Qi" to sense the heaven and earth and communicate with all things. These two superb methods are roughly equivalent - true Qi is the most important In terms of measurement, the amount of Qi directly determines the intensity of the Qi, and the Qi has different attributes according to each person's innate physique, such as the indestructible Gang Qi, the calm and gentle Ning Qi, the indestructible sharp Qi, etc.; Tao Strength lies in quality, and what is pursued is to achieve the greatest results with the least consumption. Tao power is not divided into attributes. It only depends on which attribute of the five elements and eight trigrams the practitioner himself is consistent with. Using this series of magical powers will have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort. , For example, I am compatible with the wood attribute, and my natal palace is the palace of vibration, so I can pray to the sky for rain and drive away thunder and lightning more easily." Dongfang Watcher is also a loyal person. While telling the story of congratulations, he dipped his fingers in it Tang Shui wrote and drew pictures on the table for Congratulations.
"However, although there is no difference between the two, from the perspective of us cultivators, Dao Li is slightly superior, because Zhen Qi is only a means of martial cultivation, while Dao Li has entered the threshold of Xuan Xiu. Masters of Qi may not necessarily have the qualifications to practice Taoism, but those with good Taoism can often use Qi." At this time, Dongfang Watcher just lightly touched the corner of the table, while his fingertips were still three inches away from the corner of the table. , He Nan saw a sharp wooden horn falling to the ground. "Infuriating, I know how to do it, but it's a fighting skill, not Taoist power. Among our Tuan Yun Guan's magic, the Taoist magic that hurts only accounts for less than 30%."
"Then show me quickly, do I have any talent?" He Nan was really concerned about this matter now. On the one hand, all the masters around him were so powerful before, and it was not his turn to take action, so he just followed Yan Er. Brother has learned a few sword skills, but on the other hand, he himself is not very interested in martial arts. But it was different now that there was a living god in front of him. Ever since he heard Dongfang Watcher say that the corpse soldiers were just one sword, and coupled with Dongfang Watcher's explanation today, he couldn't help but be fascinated - cultivating Taoism can lead to immortality. Be immortal and transform into an immortal. Who wouldn’t want to give this a try? What if I have this talent?
Dongfang Tuo patted He Nan's hand and said, "There's no need to rush this matter. Talent is not something you can see, it's something you practice."
Before he finished speaking, Dongfang Watcher reached out and tapped He Nan slowly and leisurely a dozen times: "The places I hit are important acupuncture points on the Qi meridians. If you have the talent to cultivate Qi, then the Qi in your body can According to the Qi pulse flow through these acupuncture points, the Zhoutian is formed. I will write down some tips on how to move Qi when I go back later. You can control the movement and flow of Qi according to the tips I wrote for you. If you are talented, it will take three to five days. You can almost feel the existence of Qi. Even if you have a little talent, one month is enough. If you can't do it in one month - then you really don't have the talent to practice Qi. Let alone cultivation, don't even think about Qi. .”
As soon as he heard that Dongfang Watch was going to teach him the secret, He Nan jumped up with a "Teng" sound, obviously impatient: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go back quickly!"
"Why are you in a hurry? I've just eaten half full. Wait for me to eat some more..." Dongfang Watcher said a lot of words to congratulate Nan in one breath without stopping. It seemed that he was putting a lot of effort into this. After a while, he felt a little greedy again - if this continued, he would have to change his Taoist name from "Bukezi" to "Bushizi" when he returned to Tuanyunguan.
"Stop eating. I'll ask the restaurant to send the food back to us later. If we can't eat it, we have to carry it." He Nan wanted to practice Qi Qi now, so he dragged Dongfang Watcher and walked back.
Seeing that He Nan was so interested, Dongfang Watcher stopped insisting and followed He Nan back to the county government office in Kui County - there were many official residences near the county government office, and some of them were vacant specially for people coming from other places. A "guesthouse" where local officials stayed. He Nan was not very particular. When handling cases these days, he even rolled up a mat and put it in the warehouse of the collective case warehouse. But when the Taoist master came, he couldn't let others lay the floor like him, so the two of them moved into the guest house together. Yizhong.
The time in his room waiting for Dongfang Watcher to write down the secret was probably the most difficult time for He Nan recently, but it was only a mere hour - but when he thought that he had to endure it for seven or eight days, most of the time he couldn't bear it. Except for Xu Yuan who drank water, He Nan was relieved.
Speaking of Xu Yuanwai - the murderer and accomplices in this whole corpse case should also have been sentenced. After the county magistrate and He Nan discussed together, they decided to bring Xu Yuanwai and Chen Wuzuo to the county town for disposal. But the credit must still go to the dedicated officials of Kui County. As for the unknown body of the woman who was replaced by a civet cat for the prince, it was also found. She was a widow from a village in a neighboring county of Kui County. The body of the boy was also found. her son. After burying several corpses alive, He Nan suggested that the magistrate of Kui County deliver part of the property seized from the Qianmianjiao camp to the elderly in the widow's home in the name of the county government, and they could only do That’s it.
On Yuan Er's side, the Xu family naturally provided money for burial and compensation to Yuan Er's wife, but Yuan Er's wife politely declined. Although her family's tailor shop was not a big business for everyone, it was considered self-sufficient and she did not want to covet it. The Xu family’s dirty money. However, hearing the news that Yuan Er's wife was planning to sell the tailor shop and leave this place, this made people feel sad. He Nan even wondered if he should not tell the truth about Yuan Er and Jin's adultery and go directly to Xu Yuanwai. Maybe the result would be better if the woman's body was taken out and convicted in the palace?
Just as He Nan was thinking about it, Dongfang Tuo opened the door and walked in, holding a few pages of paper in his hand and half a chicken drumstick in his mouth. He said in a vague voice: "Just follow this method to practice Qi." Yes, if you are a person with a yin constitution, you will feel a slight chill when you touch each acupuncture point, and if you are a person with a yang constitution, you will feel waves of warmth. However, you must be careful not to rush for success, otherwise it will be counterproductive. If there is any abnormality, it is extremely dangerous, and in severe cases it may even threaten life."
"Chaqi? What will happen?" He Nan's ears stood up when he heard that there was danger, and his expression became nervous. The ancestral caution of the old He family was fully demonstrated at this moment - even He Nan faced the fifth prince's At that time, he always looked like a calm and talkative person, but now he really looks like a villain.
I have to say that Dongfang Watcher is really interesting. When it came to the important point, he didn’t eat the chicken legs. He sat upright and said: "If you feel a tingling sensation during the Qi movement, it means that the Qi movement is diverted and deviated from the Qi channels. You must stop and rest for a while before resuming the Qi movement, otherwise the Qi flow will be turbulent and the Qi meridians will be damaged. At worst, the Qi meridians will be exhausted, and at worst, the body will explode and die."
"What... will explode?" He Nan's eyes almost fell to the ground.
"Well, it can really explode. All the muscles and veins in the whole body will be severed and the blood will not stop. Many masters have ruined their cultivation because of their eagerness for quick success. If true energy is really so easy to cultivate, masters would have been everywhere. ” Dongfang Watcher said, he could see that He Nan was a very strong person: “In short, things need to be slowed down, haste makes waste, don’t ruin your future and life just for the sake of temporary motivation, if you are good at it, If you feel pain during Qi, you must come to me."
"Yes." He Nan nodded to express his caution, "By the way, you just said that someone with talent can feel the presence of Qi in three to five days. How long did it take for you?"
Dongfang Watch thought for a long time and said: "I first cultivated Taoism and then Qi. I can use Qi naturally, so I can't use it as a reference. However, before I worshiped in Tuanyun Temple at the age of eight, I once felt that the sky and the earth were spinning day and night, which lasted for several I didn't feel better after a few months. My parents went to many doctors to see me but they couldn't figure out the reason. Later, I went to Tuanyun Temple after receiving advice from an expert. The master said that I had the talent to practice Taoism, so he kept me here. Got off."
"Ah? What's the point of this?" He Nan was a little surprised, "Brother Dongfang, let me say something unpleasant - is it possible that you have a brain disease?"
Dongfang Watcher didn't take it seriously: "My parents also suspected it at first, but Master told me this..." Thinking of this, Dongfang Watcher's expression looked very strange, as if he was afraid of speaking out to congratulate him. It's hard to believe it.
"What?"
"Master said that the square of land under our feet is actually round, somewhat similar to the shape of the ball in Cuju, and the 'ball' under our feet moves around the celestial dial, and at the same time, the 'ball' itself is also 'rotating' If you move around the sun, you will have four seasons, if you take yourself as the axis, you will have day and night - Master said that why I feel dizzy and the world is spinning is because I can feel the rotation of the 'ball' under our feet. Later, after formal cultivation, I got used to it. Okay..." At this point, Dongfang Tuo's voice also became quieter, because he saw that He Nan's face had been stiff for a long time.
"Really or not...isn't it too nonsense?" He Nan said this after holding back for a long time.
"In short, there is no other explanation, so just listen to it seriously." Dongfang Watch spread his hands, "Read what I wrote first, and remember to come to me if you feel any pain."
He Nan nodded solemnly, sat down after sending Dongfang Watcher away, and began to study the pages.
Just when He Nan was trying to practice Qi, the mysterious and mysterious master who was far away in Tuanyun Temple slowly opened his eyes: "Ouch... ...I wanted him to take you to experience the worldly scenery, but why did you lead him to become an immortal instead..."
We will describe the true identity of this amazing and extraordinary Tuanyun Guan Guanzhu below, but we can mention his relationship with the He family here - judging by his age, he should be He Nan's grandfather. He is a figure of his generation, but in fact he has an old acquaintance with He Nan's great-grandfather and the grandfather of the three He Ting brothers, He Liantian. He was born alone and traveled far and wide. Among the few friends in the world was He Liantian, who was a round older than him. Speaking of which, Grandpa He was not a legendary figure, but thanks to his good literary talent, he still served as a low-ranking official in a small county town and had enough food and clothing. At that time, the master of Tuanyun Temple, who was traveling all over the world and was very poor, was full of food and clothing. He didn't finish his meal, and he once lived in a beggar's gang for a while. When he wandered around Xuanyang County, he finally couldn't stand it any longer. He grabbed two sesame seed cakes from a stall on the street and was beaten up. It was He Liantian who couldn't bear to help him out. He Liantian provided him with food and accommodation, and he told He Liantian about his experiences traveling around the world. Although some of the content was as incredible as the earth moving around the sun, He Liantian listened to it as a strange story. After eating the food of the He family for a year and then bidding farewell to He Liantian, he continued his travels until he entered Tuanyun Temple to practice Taoism a few years later.
The master of Tuanyun Temple has had quite miraculous experiences since he started practicing Taoism. When he reached the peak of his Taoism, his appearance became younger and younger. And ever since he reached the level where he could sit back and observe the world's affairs, he thought of repaying his former benefactors and Friends, He Liantian was already dead, and even his grandson He Ting died young, so he paid a little attention to his old friend's great-grandson He Nan, until he divined that He Nan might be killed by evil spirits. So he sent his most outstanding disciple Dongfang Tuo to rescue him from thousands of miles away, and also asked He Nan, who was good at dancing with long sleeves and had seven exquisite orifices, to show him the mundane world and the fireworks of the world.
"They are honey, I am arsenic... What is a source of blessing in the eyes of others is an inescapable curse for me..." Temple Master Tuanyun closed his eyes slightly again, "I never expected to save the son of an old friend. My life has cost me a lot of disasters and a lot of time... This is probably my last chance. Boy from the He family, you'd better take care of yourself. If you cause trouble for yourself again, I really won't be able to help you. It’s all your fault.”
The way of heaven is eternal, and it will not exist for Yao, nor will it perish for Jie. People who practice Taoism should obey the laws of heaven, but the small interference of Master Tuanyun has already affected the way of heaven, so the consequences of karma have accumulated on him.
Of course, at this time, He Nan didn't know that saving his life actually cost the Master Tuanyun a lot. He stayed up all night and was immersed in excitement.
"Brother Dongfang, Brother Dongfang, I feel Qi!" He Nan's eyes shone. Dongfang Tuo said that it would take three to five days for a talented person to become a genius. Isn't he the only one who could feel the existence of Qi in just one night? Pride?
"Ah...ah? So fast?" Dongfang Watch was awakened from his sleep by He Nan. He tried his best to open his eyes and found that the sun was already high in the sky. It was obviously past half time. "What... do you feel? Is it cold or hot?"
"It's not cold or hot, I feel a little rising energy in my body... Is there any way to describe this? Could it be that he is a genius who is rare to see in a century?" He Nan couldn't hide the pride in his tone.
