Taoist priest in the foggy capital

Chapter 697: A Taoist Temple Appears in the Deep Mountains

"So you only teach me how to breathe, and you have no intention of teaching me magic?" Bai Fenghuang said this time, they had walked from morning to afternoon. Except for a short break in the middle, Bai Fenghuang spent the rest of the time pestering Yin Xiu, asking him to teach her the invincible Maoshan technique. Yin Xiu was annoyed. "Have you ever heard that the Dharma is not passed on to the sixth ear?" “It’s three ears.” Bai Fenghuang corrected him, "That is to say, if a third person is present, spells and rituals cannot be taught. The law cannot be passed on to more than three people!" "..." Yin Xiu was embarrassed for a while, then said seriously: "You know what's going on, and you know the taboos here. Then how many people are there? Don't say three people, I'm afraid there are more than thirty people, right? How can I teach you?" "That's right," Bai Fenghuang stroked her chin, "Then why don't you teach me when we get inside the house at night? It will be just the two of us then." Then she added seriously: "Face to face, hand in hand!" "Good good..." Yin Xiu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "So when there are a lot of people, you should start with the basics. This basic training method does not have any restrictions on the number of people and no secret taboos or requirements."

"So you're teaching me this method of collecting and exhaling? But to me, this seems like a martial arts technique?" "it's the same." Yin Xiu pulled the horse and asked it to turn its head around to avoid falling off the cliff again by accident. "If you don't know how to fight, it's useless even if you have magic. If a great master is hacked to death by a street thug, wouldn't that be embarrassing?" "It seems so. What's the difference between this and defeating zombies and then getting bitten to death by wild dogs while walking?" Bai Fenghuang nodded. "But don't think that wild dogs are easy to deal with." Yin Xiu smiled and said, "I remember hearing from those Taoist priests that the founders of the Zhuyou School were most afraid of encountering wild dogs when they were driving corpses. First, they were afraid that the wild dogs would disturb the God of Joy and cause the customers to turn into zombies. Second, they were afraid that the wild dogs would bite the God of Joy, which would make it difficult to explain to the owner of the house. Therefore, the Taoist priests who drive corpses either have the ability to throw stones to drive away wild dogs, or they know a spell that can temporarily drive away the wild dogs. This skill is much more important than being able to fight monsters or catch ghosts. After all, you may only encounter ghosts a few times a year, but wild dogs can be found everywhere. " Bai Fenghuang laughed out loud when she heard this, covering her mouth. She thought this was really interesting and novel. "Then when will you teach me this spell to drive away wild dogs?" "I won't." Yin Xiu spread his hands, "I'm not a corpse driver, how could I know how to drive away wild dogs? But I have seen a set of stick beating techniques for dogs at a roadside stall. If you want, I can teach you tonight." "Okay, I'll wash up tonight and wait to learn your stick skills." Yin Xiu felt strange listening to this, so he could only urge her, "You should practice that breathing method first." After he said this, Bai Fenghuang obediently began to practice the breathing method. "Breathe out, breathe in, breathe out, breathe in..." After a while, Bai Fenghuang suddenly covered her stomach and said awkwardly, "How about taking a break?"

"Do you feel the energy gathering in your dantian?" "Yes," Bai Fenghuang nodded repeatedly, "but I feel like my energy is still sinking." "Still sinking?" Yin Xiu was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?" "That's what I wanted to ask." Bai Fenghuang whispered, "Will this Qi sinking into the Dantian also promote gastrointestinal motility?" "..." Yin Xiu scratched his face, "Maybe this will be good for your confusion." “That’s somewhat helpful.” Bai Fenghuang looked around and found that there was no good place to solve the problem. So she clasped her hands together and lifted them up again, trying her luck. After repeating this twice, she let out a long sigh of relief. "Okay, the vitality is back." Yin Xiu frowned, "As a girl, can you be more elegant?" "Am I not elegant?" Bai Fenghuang said aggrievedly: "Can't I tell you if I'm not feeling well?" "You can talk about it, whatever you want..." Yin Xiu put his hands behind his head and stretched. He felt that the White Phoenix was more troublesome than the White Peacock, or rather, this pair of sisters were more cunning than the other. While they were talking, Aoki Bo came over. This skinny old man hardly spoke to Yin Xiu, and they didn't even make eye contact. The two of them just pretended that each other didn't exist and went their separate ways. But at this moment, Qing Mubo had passed by Yin Xiu for the third time, which was very special. This time, Aoki Bo finally looked up at Yin Xiu. "Stranger, don't you notice anything strange?" "I noticed it." Yin Xiu nodded. "Then why don't you tell me?" Aoki Bo was a little annoyed. "Since lunch, we have walked back and forth on this mountain road at least six times, but you just acted as if nothing happened and still entertained the girl?" "I didn't entertain her either." Yin Xiu spread her hands, "Since she can't get out, I might as well teach her some more self-defense skills." Bai Fenghuang was confused, "You mean, we are under an illusion now?"

"It's not an illusion." Yin Xiu smiled and said, "It's a barrier. A barrier. Remember the story you told me before about the Taoist temple hidden in the barrier?" When Bai Fenghuang reacted, goose bumps appeared on the back of her neck. "You mean, this is the situation now? You know about it but you don't care?" "Why should I care?" Yin Xiu spread his hands, "Wouldn't it be bad if I stole the limelight from you two elders? Besides, I am a guest, so it would be too much of a distraction, so I think it is enough for me to just watch." Yin Xiu didn't mind wasting time here at all. However, Granny Lin came over and said with a gloomy smile: "Young man, you can't just watch. After all, we are close partners." "Who is so close to you? If not..." Yin Xiu glanced at Bai Fenghuang, closed his mouth, and asked Lin Po: "So now, you just want me to take action, right?" "Yes." Grandma Lin knew that Yin Xiu didn't want Bai Fenghuang to know so much, so she tactfully didn't lead the topic in that direction. She just said, "Please help me break this barrier, and then we can talk about other things when we get to Yufeng Temple." "You seem to have me in your grasp." Yin Xiu grinned, but there was a cold look in his eyes. If it weren’t for the fact that Grandma Lin had planted some unknown kind of poisonous insect into his body as a threat. Yin Xiu won't tell you anything about respecting the elderly and loving the young. He will slap the old woman and the old man to death without hesitation. However, he is indeed in a weak position at the moment. Not to mention that there is a strong man like Ye Tianwen here to support him, he still doesn't know what the result will be if the poisonous insect is activated. If he were like the monks in the Thousand Buddha Temple, his appearance would be disfigured. So Yin Xiu suppressed his anger, walked forward and bit his finger. Rhino photo! As Yin Xiu threw out a drop of blood, the real scenery around him began to ripple, as if someone had thrown a leaf into the water. The ripples spread, and the white peacock began to worry that the colorful lines from before would appear again. However, only people who have practiced cultivation like them can see this kind of strange phenomenon, while others can only feel a slight change in air pressure. The low pressure before the rain turned into the refreshing feeling of a clear sky. After a while, they couldn't even feel that feeling anymore. Suddenly someone looked up, pointed at the other side of the mountain and shouted. "Catheter! Catheter!" "What catheter?" Yin Xiu just felt strange and looked in the direction where the Miao man pointed.

I saw a tall building in the forest over there, looming among the leaves, with only a corner of it visible. “So it’s a Taoist temple.” Yin Xiu did not feel the same excitement as the others, he just withdrew his hand. Even if he wanted to divert his attention by treating the wound on his finger at this time, his strong recovery ability would make the injury on his finger disappear without a trace. "how?" Yin Xiu asked Lin Po unhappily, "Is that Yufeng Temple?" "probably." Mrs. Lin looked at the building in the distance with a focused expression and did not have time to respond to Yin Xiu's question. After all, they have endured a lot of hardships and taken great risks to get here. In her opinion, it was not just a corner of a building, but the fire of Miao people's revival. Everyone looked at the building, as if they were residents of the mountains seeing a holy mountain, and they almost knelt down to worship it. It was not until the clouds and mist gathered and covered the Yufeng Temple that they calmed down their excitement. Before coming, only a few of them knew the purpose and mission of coming here. However, after stepping into Yufeng Mountain, it seemed that no one needed to explain that when everyone saw the Taoist temple, they had awakened their consciousness at that moment and realized their mission and task. Perhaps it was because the Taoism looked so sacred that even if people did not believe in it, they could not help but feel awe and respect for it. Yufeng Temple? Yin Xiu had heard that there were many Taoist temples in Jiaozhi area before. Because many monks went to southern Xinjiang to seek immortals and visit famous mountains, Jiaozhi became almost a popular destination like Qinling Mountains and Zhongnan Mountains, attracting many monks. As for which sect the Taoists here belonged to, whether they attached importance to talismans and magical instruments like the Maoshan Sect, or whether they pursued immortality like other sects and Taoist traditions, Yin Xiu had no idea. Asking others probably won't help. They all gathered here because they had heard that Yufeng Temple had produced elixirs and scriptures that could lead to enlightenment and ascension. They were like a group of wolves that had smelled blood. But no matter what, Yin Xiu is currently just taking one step at a time. If he was really forced by that old woman Lin to kill the other Taoists in the sect, he would not care about the poisonous insects or the black magic, and would just kill the old witch and the other bastards together. "Master, the Yufeng Temple is just ahead." Aoki Bo bowed and reported. "it is good!" Ye Tianwen was full of confidence, "It's finally time for us to make a breakthrough. Everyone listen up, head over there, and arrive at the gate of Yufeng Temple before the sun sets tomorrow!" "The moon rises in the west. I am the only one who is noble and pure. The heavens protect me. The gods watch over me. The Bright Moon Divine Sect is protected by divine power. May the leader live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!" Everyone shouted loudly, and their voices echoed throughout the mountains and forests. "He's not stupid."

Yin Xiu folded his hands and said indifferently: "I thought he was going to say that he would get there today." Bai Fenghuang had just fallen to the ground and just stood up, wiping the dirt off her knees. "What are you talking about? How can the wise and powerful leader be associated with stupidity?" "Yes, yes, for eternity, the divine power is invincible." Yin Xiu yawned, still feeling upset over the threat from Grandma Lin just now, and his chest was tight. Bai Fenghuang just felt that there might be some secret, otherwise someone like Yin Xiu would not be so gloomy. However, she knew she couldn't ask, so she could only say, "If you have anything to say, tell me tonight and I'll help you resolve it." "Relieve?" Yin Xiu glanced at her and said, "I'm just afraid that one more person will be depressed by then." "Why?" The white peacock was puzzled. However, Yin Xiu did not answer her, but just walked forward and followed the crowd to move again. …… boom! Emperor Zhong Luo smashed a rock weighing nearly ten thousand pounds into pieces, and his anger was about to burn the surroundings. "Bald Donkey, didn't you say that with my level of cultivation, there are no more than three people in the world who can compete with me? But now I have met two masters!" Behind the curtain, through the gauze curtain, a shadow is looming. Hearing the emperor Zhongluo's angry question, the shadow just said: "Your loss to these two people is both reasonable and unreasonable, and unexpected. One of them is the Grand Master of the Jiuzhou Court. He is protected by the luck of the Jiuzhou and has the Beitian Demon-Slaying Sword in his hand. With one sword, he can cut off mountains and flatten the sea and kill all the dragons in the world. Even though you have achieved great accomplishments, how can a mayfly shake a tree? How can you possibly fight against the great destiny of the Nine Provinces with your current body? You lost, which is reasonable. However, next time, the great master will no longer have such great power. He can only mobilize the luck of the Nine Provinces once, and it does not belong to him. " When Emperor Zhongluo heard this, he couldn't help but soften his tone, "You mean, next time, he won't be so strong and invincible?" "That's right. It was just the right time, right place, and right people. That great master showed off his power in front of you. There won't be a next time. It's just..." "Just what?" Emperor Chongluo said in a low voice. "It's just that I really don't understand why you retreated from the Thousand Buddha Temple." The voice behind the curtain seemed quite confused. "According to what you said, Ma Linglong, the celestial master who exorcises the Ma family, appeared in the Thousand Buddha Temple. But I have investigated and found that Ma Linglong has long passed away and her soul has returned to the Taoist mountain. It is impossible for her to still be alive." "impossible!" Emperor Chongluo was even angrier than before, causing the ground beneath his feet to crack and the mountains to echo. "She wouldn't die so easily. Even though it's been nearly a hundred years, I still remember that woman's face and demeanor! Clearly!" (End of this chapter)
