Along the way, I chatted with Daozhang Sun about strange local things, and the time passed quickly. In less than an hour, I arrived at the edge of Yunjin Mountain, where Daozhang Sun practiced his Qing Dynasty. Yunjin Mountain is not high, only a hundred meters high, but the dense forest in the mountain has luxuriant branches, and the Taoist temple is set against the forest. The Taoist temple is not big with gray tiles and white walls, but it still looks simple and elegant. The Taoist temple consists of a main hall and It consists of two side halls. When you walk into the Taoist temple, you can see that the main hall is dedicated to the Taoist Masters of the Three Purities, the left hall is dedicated to the three stars of fortune, wealth and longevity, and the right hall is dedicated to the Eight Taoist Immortals.
Then Taoist Master Sun pointed to the small courtyard behind the main hall and said that this small courtyard was where he lived and practiced meditation. He also said that his disciples were responsible for ordinary Taoist affairs.
Jining saw that the layout of this Taoist temple was somewhat similar to the Taoist temple in Jimingshan, a small town at the mouth of his river, and he felt more cordial. While they were chatting, a young Taoist priest walked out of the small courtyard. When he saw Taoist Master Sun and Jining, he nodded hurriedly and made a sound.
Taoist priest Sun looked at the little Taoist priest lovingly and told Jining that his apprentice was a silent person, so Taoist priest Sun sent the little Taoist priest to prepare tea and Taoist fruits. The little Taoist priest responded and went down to prepare.
Walking into the quiet courtyard, the area of the courtyard is not small. It is full of flowers and plants, some of which are still blooming. A gust of wind blows, and the fragrance is fragrant, which makes Jining feel relaxed and happy. There is a big tree in the center of the courtyard, and a well next to the big tree. There is a stone table not far from the well, which should be a place for drinking tea and cooling off. Jining said softly: "Not bad, not bad." Hearing Jining's voice of appreciation, Daochang Sun looked proud.
After crossing the yard, Jining climbed up the steps under the guidance of Daochang Sun, walked to the door of the main room, and opened the door. In the center of the room was a long rectangular table with a tea set and several wooden chairs. .
Taoist Master Sun asked Jining to sit down, and it didn't take long for the little Taoist priest to put fruits and tea on the table. Taoist priest Sun pointed to the purple fruit on the table and said: "This fruit is called purple bamboo fruit. It is a spiritual fruit that is paid tribute to the emperor locally. By chance, I got a few of them. My Taoist friend is really blessed today." Taoist priest Sun's enthusiastic recommendation Next, Jining picked up the purple bamboo fruit and took a bite. The pulp exuded a light fragrance. Although it was not sweet, it had a unique taste. "Hey" Jining unexpectedly discovered that this purple bamboo fruit actually contained a trace of strange spiritual energy. The spiritual energy gathers into the Dantian along with the normal operation of the exercises, but the subtle spiritual energy converges with the spiritual energy in the Dantian. Jining didn't pay attention and ate another one under Daozhang Sun's warm greeting.
Taoist Sun was still as enthusiastic as ever. He talked with us about strange things from ancient times to the present. He poured tea with enthusiasm as a landlord would. However, the tea leaves used for brewing tea should be poor and bitter. Jining saw that it was getting dark outside and was about to stand up and say goodbye.
Daochang Sun said with a smile on his face: "Down..." Jining was shocked. He hurriedly picked up the spiritual energy and found that the spiritual energy seemed to be imprisoned and could not be mobilized at all. And it was as if his physical strength had been drained by something, and he couldn't control his body and slumped on the chair, unable to move.
The little Taoist priest appeared in the room, and Taoist Master Sun asked him to carry Jining on his shoulders and walk across the yard to a wall of the yard. Taoist priest Sun took a talisman and pasted it on the wall. Ripples appeared on the wall like water. Taoist priest Sun and the little Taoist got in. Jining was still awake. He saw the dark room and filled it with candles according to rules he could not understand. The candles There was just a place for a person to lie in the middle. The little Taoist priest placed Jining among the candles and withdrew.
At this time, Taoist Master Sun said respectfully to the air: "I found this immortal cultivator according to the immortal master's spirit plate to see if he meets the immortal master's requirements."
At this time, a voice sounded from the corner of the room: "Let's see what kind of spiritual root he has first! If this one doesn't match, just use the last one. I can't wait any longer." Jining is fully aware of the situation now, and should It was a cultivator whose body was damaged and he was looking for someone to seize his body. It seems that he is doomed this time. If his spiritual roots are not satisfied, he should be killed and silenced by them directly. If his spiritual roots are satisfied, then although he retains his body, his spirit and soul will be destroyed, and the results will be similar.
Jining tried his best to use his spiritual power, and then a gloomy voice came from the corner: "Don't try in vain. It's impossible for a monk at the seventh level of Qi refining to break free from the shackles of the spirit fruit. But it doesn't matter, as long as it's After another hour, the effect of the medicine will naturally wear off. I hope you can survive this hour... Hahaha."
Daochang Sun held a stone and placed it in Jining's hand. At this moment, a vague figure appeared in the corner. He waved his hand, and the stone in Jining's hand emitted a green and white light. "Hey, it seems that he has spiritual roots with three attributes: metal, wood, and earth. They are not very good. The attributes of the spiritual roots are pretty consistent with mine. Although the last spiritual root was better, the spiritual roots did not match. And his The cultivation base is also relatively high. But if this monk has a lower cultivation base, he has a better chance of seizing the body! Time waits for no one, so forget it. Hey, why does he look better and familiar? It turns out to be some low-level monk from Chaotianguan. ! No matter how good it is, seizing the body of a low-level casual cultivator will save me some worries!"
Although Jining couldn't move, his thoughts were still very clear. He also thought of the mysterious monk he met at Chaotian Temple at that time, and felt desolate in his heart. Then Jining gradually lost consciousness amidst the blurry figures waving their hands and the sounds that sounded like magic spells.
In the endless darkness, Jining had a dream. In the dream, he was like a white cloud floating leisurely in the endless darkness. Suddenly, a dark cloud appeared in his sea of consciousness, but the dark cloud showed fear after seeing the white cloud. Jining felt that the seal's technique in his sea of consciousness emitted a strong golden light, making the dark clouds a little thinner.
The dark cloud seemed to have seen its nemesis and ran away desperately! Bai Yun seemed to feel that his world was being violated, so he chased the dark cloud and bit it with all his strength. Slowly, a white cloud larger than the original was left floating leisurely in the dark space. .
I don't know how long it took, but a white light stung my eyes. I opened my eyes gently, feeling that my head was heavy and aching, and my whole body was weak. However, his spiritual power could be mobilized slightly, and he found that he was still lying in a room full of candles. Jining guessed which person should have failed to seize the body. In addition, he was also grateful to Li Xiao for his spiritual consciousness. That spiritual consciousness not only enhanced his spiritual consciousness a lot, but also the secret technique of the seal could emit golden light to deal with the invasion. Attack with the soul of your own sea of consciousness. However, I am also a little afraid in my heart. If the spiritual consciousness of monk Li Xiao had plots against me at that time, would I no longer exist now?
"Master Immortal, congratulations!" From the corner of his eye, Jining saw a flattering expression on the face of Taoist Sun. It turned out that Taoist Sun thought he had succeeded in seizing the body.
"Well, it went well. I'll recover my strength first, and you can go out first!" After hearing this, Daochang Sun walked out of the room happily. Jining wanted to kill him immediately, but he was too weak. He was afraid that he would fall into the opponent's hands first, so he could only stabilize the opponent first. Then he meditated and resumed. After a quarter of an hour, Jining's physical fatigue disappeared, and he faintly felt that his strength had improved slightly.
Now Jining knows which dark cloud is the opponent's soul. Jining guessed that if the person who wanted to seize the body knew that Jining's sea of consciousness had been expanded in the middle stage of Qi refining and had been integrated with the spiritual consciousness of a great monk in the pill formation stage, he would not dare to seize the body no matter what.
In his understanding, the sea of consciousness is usually opened in the later stage of Qi refining, and since Jining is only at the seventh level of Qi refining, the soul should be very weak. And he can be regarded as a monk in the early stage of foundation building, but he already regretted it after entering the Jining Sea of Consciousness. The sea of consciousness was much stronger than him, a monk in the early stage of foundation building, and the strong golden light in the sea of consciousness could swallow his soul. But there was no way to stop seizing the body once it started. He already knew that entering Jining's sea of consciousness would only lead to his soul being destroyed.
After Jining checked, he found that there was nothing serious. Through the fragments of his soul, he managed to read some of his memories, and found a storage bag in the corner of the room. Although he also knew a little about his life experience, but for the current situation Jining didn't take it to heart. Looking at the storage bag in his hand, Jining felt a little happy, feeling that he would be lucky if he survived the disaster!
Jining is now in the room thinking about how to deal with Daozhang Sun, but Jining, who has never killed anyone, is still hesitant in his heart. Spiritual consciousness swept across the Taoist temple, "Hey" Jining found that there was a monk lying in a dark room next to him, and then he remembered the conversation between Taoist Sun and which shadow in front, which one should be another imprisoned cultivator, Jining decided to save the other party first. .
Jining walked into a dark room and saw a monk of similar age to him, who was almost at the eighth level of Qi Refining. There was this talisman stuck on his face, and Jining guessed it was a body-fixing talisman. The cultivator's face was extremely ugly, and he looked a little shocked and a little scared when he saw Jining. Seeing the other party's reaction, Jining said: "Fellow Taoist, I'm here to save you!" Then he stepped forward and tore open the amulet.
In the room where Jining was drinking tea just now, Daochang Sun showed indescribable excitement on his face, imagining his life after practicing immortality. At this moment, two people appeared in the room. He seemed to understand something, screamed shrilly, and planned to run away quickly.
As soon as he ran to the window next to the wall, he saw a fireball flying over and engulfing his body. The fireball exploded instantly, and the flames immediately covered his whole body. Then the air was filled with the smell of toner. After a while, there was only a trace of fire left on the ground. to ashes. After the monk killed the Taoist priest, he left the courtyard with a few shakes of his body. Then, in a room not far away, screams were heard. Jining knew which mute man should be killed by him.
It didn't take long for the young monk to walk back to the room, the anger still lingering on his handsome face.
However, when he saw Jining, he bowed deeply and said, "Wu Chengyu, a monk from the Wu family in Qinling Mountains, thanks fellow Taoist for rescuing him. If he comes to the Wu family in Qinling Mountains in the future, Wu will definitely thank him very much!" Then he took out a jade pendant from his body and threw it away. To Jining, he said that in the future, if the Wu family is within the sphere of influence of the Qinling Mountains, as long as the jade pendant is given to the Wu family, they will be helped. Then he hurriedly left the Taoist temple under the cover of night. Jining guessed that now his strength was greatly damaged and he was looking for a place to recover.
Jining put this beautifully carved jade pendant into his arms and used the "Wind Control Technique" to leave the Taoist temple and return to the inn.
