Chapter 42: Mountain Yujuan Ling

After Xu Changqing left Wuhan, he went north. On the way, he found that many demonic practitioners were mixed with officers and soldiers, checking the pedestrians. This was a countermeasure that Xuangang Demon had already noticed the actions of the lower nine-level side gate in the south. But everyone knew that it was impossible for these demonic practitioners who had just started to prevent those lower nine-level side gates with various strange ways. The reason why they still did these useless efforts was to warn them that they had already known their every move in order to deter some people in the lower nine-level side gates with unstable confidence.

However, the Xuangang Heavenly Demon did not seem to have noticed that Xu Changqing had left Chen Jiachong. The appearance of the clouds and mist in Taohua Mountain made him mistakenly think that he was still on Taohua Mountain, so he only strictly guarded Suzhou, Yangzhou, Henan and Anhui. As for Hubei, Shaanxi was much more relaxed. So Xu Changqing went straight from Hubei to Hubei, walked around Shaanxi, avoided the layers of defense lines of Xuangang Heavenly Demon, and entered Shanxi. The reason why he did not directly run from Taiyuan to Tianjin, but continued to detour Yunchengping Township along the border of Henan was mainly because this was once an ancient battlefield, and hundreds of thousands of war souls had been accumulated over thousands of years.

Although the courts in all dynasties would do great things here to save war souls, less than half of them could be truly relied. Therefore, in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di, then King of Yan, built three soul-storing towers buried deep underground here, and put all the war souls in it, and shocked them with the fate of the Ming Dynasty. Later, Zhang Xianzhong took advantage of the demise of the Ming Dynasty and the fortune of the country to slaughter the people here. He took advantage of the resentment of the people's souls to destroy the three soul-storing towers and summoned the battle souls to form a ghost soldier. However, before it was completed, he was destroyed by Prince Su Haoge. Later, Shunzhi invited various monks to restore the originally damaged soul-storing towers here, and also suppressed hundreds of thousands of war souls here with the fate of the Qing Dynasty.

Now that the Qing Dynasty has lost its fortune, it is the best time to obtain these war souls. Among the many subordinates of Xuangang Heavenly Demon, there is a right-hand assistant named Yinkui, the Great Saint of Netherworld, who practices the Huangquan Dao of Mangshan. He was originally the eldest disciple of Emperor Qianyuan of Mangshan. Since Emperor Qianyuan was imprisoned, he has changed to surrender to the Xuangang Heavenly Demon and presented his natal soul bead to show his loyalty. His natal demon weapon is called Wangui Banner, and its power is equal to the Xuangang Heavenly Demon Banner.

This time, the Xuangang Heavenly Demon is going against the sky, and his strength must be enhanced. The best way to enhance the strength of the Great Saint of the Netherworld is to let the Ten Thousand Ghost Banner absorb hundreds of thousands of battle souls to enhance it into the Yellow Spring Banner. Although in this case, Yin Kui's strength may exceed that of Xuangang Heavenly Demon, but Xuangang Heavenly Demon has Yin Kui's natal soul bead in his hand, which can take his life at any time, so he is not afraid of his backlash.

Xu Changqing came here to decide to find a way to get rid of Yin Kui before the war began, cut off one of the Xuangang Demon's arm, and reduce his strength by half. So after he calculated that April 15th was the Seven Stars of the Evil Conquer, he guessed that Yin Kui would definitely use the evil spirit of heaven and earth to destroy the Soul-Suppressing Tower, and then absorb the released war souls and refine the power of the Ten Thousand Ghost Banner, so he came here early to prepare.

Along the way, Xu Changqing first used medicine, food and talisman methods to adjust the bodies of his two disciples. However, it took a few days for their bodies to recover like ordinary children, and Huang Juan's hysteria was almost cured. However, what surprised Xu Changqing was that she originally thought that Huang Juan was in good health and had no disability, but later she found out that she was a Tianxia who could not be cured at all. This result made Xu Changqing wonder if she simply changed the title of "Nine-Rule Idle Man" and changed it to Tiancanmen.

Although Huang Shan and Huang Juan had physical defects, Xu Changqing still decided to teach them the Taoist tradition of the Jiuli Yiren lineage. Before formally preaching the Dharma, he also accepted Huang Juan as a formal disciple, completely breaking the tradition of the Jiuli Yiren lineage.

The teachings of the nine-level idle people in the lineage are different from other Taoist teachings. The first generation of nine-level idle people mixed with the Buddhist initiation and transmission method on the basis of an ancient Taoist method and created the unique Taoist method of this sect. It can transfer the Taoist methods needed to be taught one by one in the spiritual consciousness, and then use the method of initiation and opening the meridian to help the disciples complete the foundation building of the Shangqing Nine-Turn Golden Alchemy method, and in a short time, the disciple's strength will be improved to the initial stage of refining essence and turning qi. Later, as the follower will follow.

As the strength increases, the Taoist Techniques enclosed in the spiritual consciousness will be gradually released, and finally reach the ultimate goal of refining essence into qi, and refining qi into gods to form a golden elixir and transforming the primordial spirit. It is precisely because this great method is too domineering and does not progress step by step, causing certain damage to the body's spiritual consciousness. Therefore, after reaching the bottleneck of refining essence into qi, if you want to form a golden elixir, you cannot break through by hard practice alone. You must borrow external forces such as spiritual objects in heaven and earth to make it break through the difficulties.

For these two disciples, Xu Changqing did not fully improve their cultivation according to the methods passed down from generation to generation. Instead, he only used the initiation method to engrave the natal skills and Taoist techniques of the Nine-Rule Idle People's lineage into their spiritual consciousness, and then spent a month to use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to help them refine their bodies, and they could complete the foundation building for a hundred days by themselves. Although the speed of improving their cultivation in this way would be very slow, there would be no 40-term period for Nine-Rule Idle People in the past dynasties, and there would be no need to use the spiritual objects of heaven and earth to form a golden elixir. They only needed to practice continuously to make breakthroughs.

Xu Changqing did not pass on his Nine-Rule Avenue to them. One reason was that they could not practice it at all, and the other reason was that they also had certain selfish intentions, believing that his Nine-Rule Avenue was almost separated from the Taoist techniques of the Nine-Rule Idle Lineage and did not need to be included in the inheritance of Nine-Rule Idle Line.

Due to the meticulous care of Xu Changqing, the two Huang family brothers and sisters who had never felt the warmth were very moved. They obeyed Xu Changqing's words and actively practiced the qigong every day as he ordered. They did not disappoint Xu Changqing. The 100-day foundation building that originally took at least twenty days to complete was completed in just three days after being washed away by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Although there was a relationship between the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it was more important that when they were practicing, they were deliberately arranged by Xu Changqing to use the method of harmony of yin and yang to achieve the state of yin and yang, and the final result of the practice was twice the result with half the effort. Although after starting to practice the Shangqing Nine-Turn Golden Elixir Method, they could no longer use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to refine the body and mind, the method of harmony of yin and yang can also improve the cultivation of the brother and sister quickly, and the gains and losses are difficult to compare.

After completing the foundation building, they began to formally practice the essence-refining and qi-transforming method of Shangqing Nine Transformation Golden Elixir, and the Taoist method sealed in the spiritual consciousness also unlocked some of the things they could use. At this time, the two brothers and sisters began to have polarized differentiation. Among them, Huang Shan was majoring in Taoist methods and knew nothing about fortune-telling, while Huang Juan was majoring in fortune-telling and lacked interest in Taoist rules. Although she didn't know why this was the case, Xu Changqing still let the flow. Because she used the method of initiation to open her mind, they learned everything very quickly. Along the way, she had already learned all the miscellaneous books in Xu Changqing's sleeves, which made them have their own understanding of Taoist methods and fortune-telling, and all they lacked was experience.

After entering Pingxiang Town, Xu Changqing had actually heard of the ban of Tang Tianhao, the fourth master of the Tang family. The reason why he encountered the Tang family's wedding was mainly because he wanted to verify whether Huang Juan's palm was effective in determining the universe. Huang Juan had used the method of determining the universe to determine the universe before, which seemed to be related to Xu Changqing's trip to the north. After Xu Changqing entered Shanxi, all the methods of pushing his life seemed to have been abolished, and even the self-created Tianluo Doushu could not play any role. Therefore, while still having time, I wanted to verify whether Huang Juan's pushing life was correct, check what went wrong with his mind and spiritual consciousness, so as to prevent something from happening when dealing with Yin Kui.

After Xu Changqing said a few polite words, the convoy continued to set off the road, and Xu Changqing also got on the carriage with gifts. At this time, Huang Juan was addicted to the fate of fate and began to use the numbers of Zhoutian Dayan to calculate Tang Wei's fortune. Huang Shan was bored and looked at his sister holding fifty-five peach wood signs there and getting them all over the place.

"Master, please find something for me! It's boring for me to sit here alone." After nearly two months of time, Huangshan became cheerful, no longer the timid appearance at the beginning, and he also learned to act coquettishly when talking to Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing, who closed his eyes and rested his mind, was slowly nourishing his internal organs with the five elements of heaven and earth. He also watched the Five Elements Aura absorbed and leaked from the Dingtian Hunyuan Pearl. After hearing Huangshan's words, he smiled slightly, and did not open his eyes, saying, "Didn't you draw a dust-proof talisman yesterday? It's too dry here, there is a lot of dust, and it's just right to use it."

"Master, don't you have the Five Elements Taoist Technique to avoid dust?" Huang Shan was stunned for a moment and didn't understand and asked.

Huang Juan seemed to have done it, signed the peach wood and said, "Brother, what Master means is for these uncles and aunts who are rushing to the road!"

Huang Shan looked at his sister, obviously still a little confused, and asked, "Master, is this the case?"

Xu Changqing was really helpless about himself. He was indeed very quick to learn Taoism. He was not afraid of hardship or fatigue when practicing martial arts, but he seemed much stupid and kind. He kept a bird that he kept for a long time to cry when he died. In contrast, Huang Juan seemed more in line with Xu Changqing's requirements for taking disciples. He was calm, intelligent, and knew how to learn from one example. Perhaps because of the blind man, he was very accurate in grasping people's hearts and could guess what the other party wanted to do based on his words and actions. Although it was good, he was very unfavorable to Taoism. In addition to practicing Shangqing Nine Transformations Golden Elixir Method every day, he studied the fate teachings taught by Xu Changqing. So far, he could not even use the Three Yang True Fire to ignite it.

When Xu Changqing thought of the strange habits of the brother and sister, he couldn't help but sigh, nodded, and said, "Yes."

Huangshan took out the dust-proof talisman he had worked hard to draw, and then used all his strength to push the Three Yang True Fire to ignite it when people were not paying attention, and recited the magic mantra in his mouth. After the talisman paper was burned, dozens of yellow aura that was hard to see from Huangshan's right fingertips, rushed into the surrounding people and objects. The dust on their bodies fell unknowingly, and the group also seemed radiant.

At this time, Huang Juan seemed to hear his thoughts from the sigh that Xu Changqing had just sighed. She sat next to him, held his arms with both hands, leaned in his arms and said, "Master, brother and I will work hard to practice Taoism, so don't worry about us."

"You little guy, you even guess what your master is thinking." Xu Changqing smiled, rubbed her hair pity, then waved to Huang Shan to sit over, and then asked, "You count Tang Wei's fate, how are you counting?"

Huang Juan sighed and said, "His fortune will turn sharply from today, and his life will become constantly twists and turns. In the end, he will run away from home, die in a foreign country. He is such a pitiful person!"

"Just know this in my heart, don't say it!" Xu Changqing was stunned. He didn't expect Tang Wei to be like this. Although he had difficulty leaving his hometown just now, it was indeed a bit beyond his expectations when he died in a foreign country.

"Well! The disciples won't say it." Huang Juan nodded.

The convoy was driving very fast, and before it got dark, they had already arrived at Changhe Township. Although Changhe Township was called a village, it was actually just a village. Most of the people living here were from the Zhao family. This phenomenon of a village being a village is very common in Shanxi, because horse thieves are everywhere here, and for safety, they rarely accommodate foreigners. The entire Changhe Township Village was surrounded by a high earth wall. On the wall, the village heroes patrolling back and forth could be seen shouting down a few words after seeing the Tang family's banner, and then the heavy city gate opened. A group of people walked out of it and came up with them.

The leader was an old man with long beards. It seemed that he was the head of the Zhao family. Following behind was a middle-aged couple, who should be the woman's parents. Next were some tribe members and fellow villagers. What surprised Xu Changqing was that all of them looked like death.

When Tang Wei and Tang Biao saw the Zhao family coming out to greet each other, they immediately urged them to step forward, and after turning over and landing, they greeted each other one after another, and then said some chirping words.

At this time, someone saw Xu Changqing sitting in the carriage and said a few words to the old man Changbiao. The old man Changbiao frowned and looked at Xu Changqing, and then said to Tang Biao: "Second Master Tang's second master, although it is our custom to welcome relatives, some martial arts warlocks have caused some accidents in the village recently and injured people. Therefore, the clan stipulates that no martial arts warlocks who wander around enter Zhuangzi during this period. I hope that the second master Tang will be forgiven."

Tang Biao frowned. Although the old man with long beard said that it was a gangster who caused an accident here, in his opinion, the Zhao family seemed to be forced by Tang Tianhao to not accept the kiss. So he said with a cold face: "Mr. In-law, look at the three of us, one adult with two children, even if it will cause trouble, how big can it cause trouble? This is better. If the three of them cause trouble in the village and damage something, my Tang family will compensate three times the original price."
