Sanjiang Road, Jizhou, Baiyun Temple.
With three days left until the New Year, Lu Zheng finally flew back to Baiyun Mountain with Taoist Priest Ming Zhang and Yuan Jing.
This time, Taoist Master Mingzhang did not send Lu Zheng and Yuan Jing around. Instead, he took them directly to the main hall of Baiyun Temple to meet the master Mingyu.
Although Master Mingyu is also a Taoist priest of the Ming generation, his cultivation has already surpassed all the masters of his generation and is on par with the seniors in the back mountain. Otherwise, he would not be able to sit in the high position of the temple master.
Even so, a disciple with more than five hundred years of Taoist practice was enough for Master Mingyu to spare time and receive him personally.
In addition to receiving more attention, Lu Zheng also has the qualifications to have access to more secret techniques from Guanzhong.
For example, alchemy, refining techniques for storage magic weapons, and some small techniques like invisibility.
These small methods generally have nothing to do with practice or combat. They play a supporting role at most. Most of them are passed down from master to disciple, either as personal characteristics, passed down in the same lineage, or exchanged with fellow disciples.
Of course, there are also some small Dharma doors, which are either relatively important or have become commonplace, so they are placed in the Sutra Pavilion and can be practiced at will.
It’s just that these methods are similar to alchemy and weapon refining, and they all require Taoism. In order to prevent disciples from overestimating their own abilities and wasting a lot of time and energy, or from being tricked by others for their shallow cultivation, Baiyun Temple has lost the secrets of the sect. The Sutra Pavilion Various classics in the book all have cultivation requirements.
The last time Lu Zheng came here, he was actually qualified to come in and take a look, but he was still a newcomer at the time and didn't have any needs, so he didn't come in.
This time is different. As an outsider who can fly in the clouds and is even qualified to live in the back mountain, of course he can browse most areas of the Sutra Pavilion at will.
Hmm... of course it's not completely random. He still can't get up to the top floor, which is full of the core secrets of Baiyun Temple.
"Besides... you can read the classics casually. Don't you need something like the teacher's contribution?"
Lu Zheng asked, holding in his hand a book about the elixir created by a senior in Baiyun Temple, and sighed, "In addition, important classics must not leave the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, not even copying a copy. ?"
"Haha, what contribution do you need from the master? The master is eager for you to study more, just don't delay the practice of the fundamental method.
In addition, important classics cannot be taken out, but you can now fly into the clouds. You can fly back at any time when you want to come back. "
The speaker was a Taoist priest who looked to be a few years older than Yuan Jing. He was responsible for entertaining Lu Zheng. "If you have nothing to do, you can also live in the mountain for a while. The seniors in the sect will also give lectures and explain the true meaning of the scriptures from time to time." .”
Lu Zheng nodded and said, "Thank you, senior brother Yuanlin. Junior brother, I'll spare you the trouble."
Even though Taoist Master Yuan Lin looks relatively young, in fact he started his career earlier than Taoist Master Ming Zhang, and his cultivation level is already extremely high. He is considered to be a prominent figure in Baiyun Guanyuan's generation. This time he came out specifically to entertain Lu. Recruiting for this rookie of the Yuan generation.
Then, Lu Zheng put the scriptures in his hand back on the bookcase, picked up another book, lowered his head and looked at it, and his heart moved.
"Longchang Zhenren talks about the art of rejuvenating the face"
After casually flipping through it, I found out that this book "The Art of Maintaining Facial Appearance" is not only about maintaining one's appearance, but also has the effect of adjusting and changing one's own appearance.
Putting down the book, I picked up another one.
"Ning Lian Zhenren's Beauty Method"
Lu Zheng: ???_???
After taking a quick look, he discovered that there were seven books of various versions of "The Art of Facial Retention" on the bookshelf.
"Several "Yan Zhu Shu" are different. Some use the internal breath method to maintain the skin and maintain health, some use the spiritual method to maintain the skin and repair the appearance, and some refine the facial elixir to change the appearance." Yuan Lindao Long Harmony introduced.
Lu Zheng praised decisively, "Professional!"
This was Lu Zheng's first time here, and Taoist Priest Yuan Lin was accompanying him. He just wanted to visit and was not in a hurry to take a closer look.
But even so, Lu Zheng was full of praise for the Sutra Pavilion in Baiyun Temple.
Of course, the collection of books in this Sutra Pavilion is not as dazzling as a modern library, and there are so many books that you can't finish them all at a glance, but there are still more than a dozen bookshelves on each floor, and there are many books densely packed.
In addition to various classics on cultivating immortals, refining energy, mantras and secret techniques, there are also various annotations and explanations of thoughts on various cultivation classics by various senior real people, as well as research on the nature of heaven and earth and the cultivation itself.
In addition to the classics about this sect, there are also books covering the entire world's astronomy and geography, demons and ghosts, various forces, medicinal materials and animals, etc.
Lu Zheng took out the book "Baiyun Zhuanyan Dan Refining Method" and opened it, only to find that it was more than just a Zhuyan Dan.
Starting from the impact of various beauty-retaining techniques on the appearance, to the analysis and study of the medicinal properties of the beauty-retaining pill, and to the selection of medicinal materials, the beauty-retaining pill is divided into five types: the elixir of the beauty-preserving pill and the ordinary beauty-nourishing pill. level, and finally the alchemy process and techniques corresponding to the Zhuyan Dan. Finally, other alternatives to the optimal antidote to the Zhuyan Dan are also noted.
What the hell is this a recipe for? This is a damn sutra!
…
After walking around in the Sutra Pavilion for a while, Lu Zheng decided to come back if nothing happened. He left the Sutra Pavilion and went to the back hall accompanied by Taoist Priest Yuan Lin.
"I've met Master Mingguang! I'm here again!"
"Senior nephew Yuan Zheng!"
Taoist Master Mingguang's eyes lit up, he smiled and nodded, "I heard that your Taoism has made rapid progress, and your progress has been rapid. Congratulations!"
"Uncle Master is overly praised."
Lu Zheng took a step forward, clasped his hands and bowed, "Last year, my nephew didn't achieve much, so he came back to the mountain. This year, he came back and brought some gifts to his classmates, and asked his uncle to put them in the treasury."
Taoist Priest Yuan Lin, "..."
Taoist Master Mingguang, "..."
The two of them couldn't help grinning, and the few Taoist priests who were helping looked at Lu Zheng with resentful expressions.
You are humble! You are polite! Have you ever considered our feelings?
Last year, I didn't have any achievements and I didn't have the courage to return to the mountain. This year, I just flew back after several hundred years of Taoism?
If this is considered an achievement, there won’t be many people in Baiyun Temple!
As expected of a receptionist, Taoist Master Mingguang quickly calmed down his emotions and regained his expression.
"Then Guanli appreciates it, but my nephew has brewed new wine?" Taoist Master Mingguang said with a smile.
The Wuliangye and Huadiao products from the year before last were very popular. Even though Lu Zheng privately exchanged a lot of wine with several good wine-loving masters and masters in Guanzhong, the wine in the warehouse still did not last for a year.
If Lu Zheng hadn't asked Taoist Master Mingzhang to bring back another batch last year, there might have been someone who couldn't resist being greedy and put aside the dignity of their seniors and went to Tonglin County.
Lu Zheng nodded and patted the gourd.
"Swish swish!"
One hundred cloud-patterned swords and hundreds of large wine jars filled the back hall.
"Buzz!"
The light of luck is recorded simultaneously.
