"First, similar to Chihuo Xiangtan, the juice from its rhizome can treat various diseases and injuries, and its effect is comparable to that of wild ginseng from Changbai Mountain that is hundreds of years old."
"Secondly, although the Golden Thread Youtan has no effect in exorcising ghosts, if you take the three-color flowers, it can increase the total amount of Qi that the body can hold. It is equivalent to improving the cultivation level of the person who eats it."
"The third, most important, and most mysterious function. According to legend in the Xuanmen Jianghu...this kind of golden thread You Tan can help resist magical disasters."
Speaking of this, the master's eyes and tone became a little gloomy.
Magical calamity?
What it is?
This was the first time I heard this strange word, so I immediately asked Master out of curiosity.
But she didn't answer me directly, she just sighed quietly.
"Every time comes, heaven and earth all work together, and the heroes are not free! We, those of us who practice Xuanmen, use our strength to calamity, and all kinds of difficulties appear... Ah Chong, calamity is a great terror and a great tribulation, but it also contains hidden dangers. Big opportunity.”
Well, the more Master talks, the less I understand it!
But I'm not in a hurry either.
If Master is willing to talk about these things, he will definitely explain them. If you don’t want to say it, then there’s no need for me to ask.
Sure enough, after seeming to hesitate for a moment, she opened her mouth to explain to me.
"No matter how high-sounding the practice of people in Xuanmen is, whether it is good or evil, whether they choose to cultivate themselves or nature...the essence is to be detached from ordinary people after all. This kind of behavior is acting against heaven. So. , when cultivation reaches a certain level, disasters will naturally occur."
"This kind of disaster may not be a specific disaster, or it may be a kind of unhappiness in the dark. For example, a person who is proficient in fortune-telling suddenly has things not going well, and he is finally drunk when he drinks water. I choked to death. This is bad luck!"
"For another example, a person who is proficient in spell attack spells is accidentally killed by a peasant woman who has no power to restrain a chicken. Or he is bitten to death by a wild dog."
"Magical calamity occurs randomly, and there are not many rules to describe it. It can be specific or intangible. It can be a set result or a long process. It is difficult to describe and elusive. The only good thing is that the practitioners themselves can faintly sense the coming disaster."
"So people with different methods naturally have different ways to deal with magic calamities. Legend has it that there are some heavenly and earthly treasures that can help resist magic calamities. For example, this Golden Thread Night Epiphyllum is one of the legendary ones. As long as the fully mature If the golden thread of Youtan is planted in the place where you live for a long time, it will go smoothly for three years."
"I guess that the person who arranged the Qi Gathering Formation in the Grave Mountain probably found a Red Fire Xiangtan from a certain Guyang land by chance. Then he wanted to use the power of Feng Shui to cultivate it into a Golden Thread Xiangtan. "
I see!
After listening to Master's explanation, I just felt that the Taoist world and the practice of magic are really profound and profound, and many of them are mysterious and unexpected.
I asked seriously: "So, does everyone have tribulations? Will I have it too?"
Master smiled again, his eyes sparkling so beautifully.
She rubbed my head: "I have a lot of ambition! It's not just that there is a magic calamity. It is something that you have to practice in your own Dharma lineage to a certain level. The stronger the Dharma lineage itself, the higher the upper limit. The higher it is, the less likely it will be for a disaster to happen. But once it does, it will be harder to escape."
To be honest, although I am no longer a child, I really like the feeling of being touched by Master.
I looked at her with admiration and continued to listen.
Master also said that the upper limit of our magical lineage is extremely high... so we have to reach the point where our methods are extremely powerful before we can trigger a magical disaster. I was so early that I didn’t have to think too much.
It's like a poor student who is still studying is thinking about how he will live after his annual income is hundreds of millions.
I looked at the golden thread You Tan on the table again: "Master, if this thing is so precious, then plant it in your small yard. Can it help you resist the disaster?"
But she shook her head.
"It's too late... not to mention that my magic calamity does not need to be resisted by external objects! I also hope that you, A Zhong, can remember that if you really come to the step of causing a magic calamity in the future, you have to rely on yourself to survive it, and You know you can’t borrow foreign objects under the guise?”
I nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Master also said, in fact, the golden thread Youtan tree that Lao Cao, Yuan Fei and I dug out from the old grave is not fully mature yet!
Judging from the appearance of this black, white and red flower, it needs at least a week of nourishment with a lot of yin energy.
Now that it has been dug out in advance, the process of combining yin and yang has been forcibly interrupted. I am afraid that it will no longer be able to fully mature... This is the only way!
ah?
I scratched my head: "In other words, this golden thread Youtan is considered useless?"
"You can't say that. There is no mature Golden Thread Youtan, at least it is still the Red Fire Xiangtan. And looking at this one, it should have been nourished in the tomb mountain Qi gathering array for two or three years, and the basic effect is still there Now. Ah Chong, take it home and plant it in your yard first."
The master made the final decision on the final destination of this strange flower... It gave me an advantage!
I never really refute Master's decisions.
The main reason is that I am timid in front of her, afraid that she will scold me or hit me... um, just kidding.
So, I took this golden thread You Tan home.
When I came back from Two Rivers Town before, I didn't know that this thing was so precious, and I didn't even care about stuffing it in a sack. Now that you know it, how can you dare to be so rude again?
I was afraid of hurting some of the roots and petals, so I held them carefully with both hands without using a sack!
Before leaving, I suddenly thought of something.
"By the way, Master! You said we poached this Golden Thread Youtan, will the person behind the scenes come to cause trouble?"
"Such a big cause and effect has been established. That person will definitely be furious! As for causing trouble, it depends on his method. Whether he can lock you in. Are you afraid?"
Master tilted his head and stared at me, his expression half-smiling.
I immediately puffed up my chest and slapped it with my hands.
"What are you afraid of! Using graves as a formation, sacrificing the interests of so many others in order to cultivate his own things, this guy is definitely not a good person. He is an evil cultivator! If he really dares to come, I will beat him until he screams."
…
Ten minutes later, I returned to my home.
After thinking about it, I finally carefully planted this Golden Thread Youtan in a large pot. I moved this basin to my own room and kept it.
This is safer!
If it were planted in the yard, I would be worried about what would happen.
What should I do if such a precious thing is chewed by some small animals or insects or damaged by birds?
It’s safest to put it in your own bedroom!
Just like Master said, even if it is not fully mature, if it is used as a medicinal material, the juice of the rhizome is comparable to the century-old wild ginseng from Changbai Mountain.
What's more, it can also enhance my power - of course Master doesn't allow me to eat it. But this kind of treasure must be well hidden.
I looked at it for a while with my hands on my hips, and then moved the big basin to the bedside. He looks like a miser!
After doing this, I continued to read the "Zhai Sutra" and "Burial Sutra". I have already started to read through the entire article for the second time. After reading through it three times, I will try to memorize it!
After reading for a while, my eyes were a little tired, so I continued to meditate cross-legged for half an hour according to the Taoist grip method taught by Master.
Finally, I fell asleep using the "sleeping skills" taught by Lao Cao.
When you are busy, if you fall asleep using the sleep technique, a few dozen minutes is equivalent to an ordinary person sleeping soundly for a whole night, and you will be full of energy.
And if you have nothing to do, if you use "sleeping skills" to sleep soundly and soundly all night, it will be of great benefit to the enhancement of physical and mental strength.
As usual, in my dream, I saw that fat guy again who was as round as a fat hen - my fairy, Haidongqing Xiaoyuan!
I see it every night when I go to bed and dream about it.
In the dense jungle and beside the gurgling stream, we played and had fun together.
Sometimes, it flies in front and I chase after it.
As a result, it didn't fly very far before it was so tired that it landed on the ground and walked forward with two legs in a figure-eight stride. It looks like a giant plush ball rolling on the ground.
I could easily grab it and put it on my shoulder.
Sometimes, it will catch some strange things from the old forest - colorful disgusting poisonous insects, black spiders as big as fists, rats that are bigger than its own body!
Eat it with gusto in front of me. At first, he wanted to share some with me, but I politely refused - even in my dream, I don’t want to eat these disgusting things.
Not to mention that what Madoka eats seems to be something that could turn into evil spirits... Even if they are ordinary bugs and animals, I don't want to eat them raw.
Oh no, it’s not okay to eat it cooked!
It is also because of this that my relationship with Madoka is getting better and better, and I am able to feel her emotions more.
Although we still haven't really met each other in reality, the feeling in the dream has become more and more real. And I am increasingly able to borrow more of its power...
Maybe when I get better, I can see my fairy in reality, right?
But the dream I had that night was very strange!
Because when I fell asleep, I found myself standing on the path in front of my yard. This scene has never appeared before.
"Madoka? Madoka, where are you?"
I tried calling a few times.
Then I heard a "cuckoo" sound, and a big fat bird like a ball of hair did not fly. Instead, he spread his wings and walked over on two short legs from the village road next to him.
"Madoka, what are you doing here?"
Gu Gu Gu Gu.
It shouted, pointing in the direction of my house with one of its wings.
"You want to come into my house?"
Gu Gu Gu Gu.
Madoka nodded vigorously.
I didn't know why, but I opened the door anyway.
As soon as he opened it, the fat guy suddenly jumped into the air and flew up. It circled directly in front of my yard, went to the back room, and flew in through my bedroom window.
"Madoka what are you doing?"
I was baffled, but suddenly I had a bad feeling in my heart!
I quickly rushed into the house and saw this fat bird standing beside my bed, with a pair of wicked and shiny eyes. It seemed to be shining with joy.
Then, I started to eat my golden thread Youtan quickly!
"Ah! Madoka, you bastard, don't eat it. This thing is precious, you can't eat it randomly!"
I shouted in horror.
