Under One Person, the little witch only wants to collect elves

Chapter 356: Immortal Teaching, Super Promotion

Yan Huan looked back and saw no one else around. A willow tree in front of him dropped its blade-like leaves, which scattered onto the path cleared by the young Taoist priest.

Uncle Grandmaster, are you calling me?

After waiting for a long time and seeing no one else coming into the temple, Yan Huan went up the stairs.

The Zhuangzi Temple is right in front of you, with two majestic stone lions standing on each side, and a couplet with a black background at the entrance.

The first couplet reads: Listening to the sounds of nature in the free and easy lacquer garden, the heart of Tao will benefit generations to come.

The second line is: Living in poverty, Nanhua wrote the true scriptures, and his wonderful writings spread throughout the country.

Yan Huan entered the main hall of Nanhua Hall. The statue of Zhuangzi located in the center had his left hand on his knee and his right hand on a table. He had drooping ears and flowing beard, and could flick objects with his fingers. His eyes were bright, and he had a unique charm of being otherworldly and immortal.

Although it is a whole bronze statue, the great master Zhuangzixiu is portrayed with a natural, amiable and radiant expression.

The four walls of Nanhua Hall are all covered with colorful paintings. The first half tells stories about Zhuangzi's life, and there are also many poems and plaques left by famous people from past dynasties.

Yan Huan took a quick glance and saw the inscriptions "Like a Dragon in Transformation" written by Shi Xing, the Minister of War during the Ming Dynasty, and "Enjoyment of Inaction" written by Yang Risheng, the Magistrate of Dongming during the Qing Dynasty.

After waiting in the hall for a long time, two people, one old and one young, finally came hurriedly.

After looking at the white-haired old man, Yan Huan had not yet bowed to greet him when the old Taoist bent his waist sharply.

"Liu Buming, the 136th generation disciple of Nanhua Zhuangzi Temple, greets the Grandmaster Uncle!"

The young Taoist priest who was sweeping the floor also bowed down and said, "Zhuang Xian, I greet the Grandmaster Uncle."

There are few extraordinary people in Zhuangzi Temple. There are only three generations from Liu Buming to Zhuang Xian. Liu Buming was born in Baiyun Temple and took over this Taoist temple two years ago. Zhuang Xian is from Zhuangzhai Village and is a real descendant of the Zhuang family.

The repeated bows from the old man and the young made Yan Huan a little confused.

Liu Buming stood up, led Yan Huan to the management office and sat down, and made a pot of tea.

"Uncle Zushi, you don't have to wonder, have the items we brought to Mr. Zhao been delivered to you safely?"

Yan Huan took out the ancient books wrapped in his arms and spread them out carefully. Among them were a volume of "Nanhua Zhenjing", a book on unnamed alchemy, and several paper reports found in the northwest desert, which were placed between the pages by Zhao Fangxu.

"Nanhua Zhenjing" is just an ordinary photocopy. The content of the book is all-encompassing. It has detailed discussions on the creation of the universe, the relationship between man, Tao and nature, the value of life, critical philosophy, etc. Its sentences are magnificent and bizarre, and the meaning is out of this world.

Compared with the masterpiece that embodies Zhuangzi Xiu's thoughts, the nameless alchemy method is even more astonishing.

Because when Zhao Fangxu handed it over, the alchemy method had been preserved through special means. Until now, the book is still under the protection of Yan Huan's Five Elements Qi.

The nameless elixir method is extremely fragile. If the Qi surrounding it is removed, there is no doubt that this ancient book will be destroyed in an instant.

"These things are of great importance. I thought they would be stuck at the company level. It's not that easy to get President Zhao to give in on things that affect stability. You are worthy of being the great master!" Liu Buming stroked his beard and smiled habitually.

"The title of this great grandfather uncle... um..." Yan Huan pondered for a moment.

"Have you seen this alchemy method?"

Yan Huan looked at the old Taoist priest and nodded.

This alchemy method is a secret sleeping technique, which is somewhat similar to the method of taking a nap to gain vitality in the Natural School. However, its level of mystery is by no means comparable to the method taught by Grandpa Du Shen.

This nameless alchemy method teaches one to circulate Qi in a dream, to control the fire in stillness, to form the elixir in concentration, to gather the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit as medicine, to take stillness and concentration as fire, to refine the medicine with fire, and to form the golden elixir.

In addition, most of the descriptions were about how to nourish "life". After Yan Huan tried it a few times, he felt that the fortune of "body and mind" was far beyond the usual. According to Zhao Fangxu, the rest of the information was indeed contributed by the company, but the appearance of this nameless elixir method was an accident. He was not shameless enough to be generous to others, so he recommended Yan Huan to the temple again.

"That's right, Grandmaster!"

"Do you know where this alchemy method came from?" Liu Buming looked surprised. Thinking about it now, he still finds it a little unbelievable.

That was a week ago. Summer nights were short and Liu Buming went to bed early.

In the dream, I saw a single bridge, surrounded by fog and surging dragons and tigers. Even when I looked carefully, I could not see the water surface and the two banks.

A fish jumped out of the water. It was hundreds of feet long, making the surroundings look as small as a mustard seed. When the fish fell into the water, a column of water shot up into the sky, followed by waves.

The pure and clear water droplets were written into words and turned into a yellowed ancient book. Liu Buming heard an ethereal sound in his ears, "waiting for the destined person", and then he woke up from his dream.

"What do you mean?" Yan Huan looked at the alchemy method on the table again.

Liu Buming nodded seriously, "Grandmaster, you're right. When I woke up, the nameless elixir was in my arms, but the paper was rotten. I had no choice but to use my Qi to protect it immediately."

"Then why did it fall into the hands of the company?" Yan Huan asked puzzledly.

Such a treasure might be a gift from the immortals. Even if we don’t pass it down as a treasure to guard the temple, it should at least be well treasured.

Liu Buming was a little embarrassed, lowered his head and smiled: "Because the words in the book are written with water, I can't see them clearly."

"Duqiao and Kun, if you think a little more, you will know what that means. This is probably what our ancestor, Nanhua Zhenren, meant. Since I am not the destined person he said, why did I keep this alchemy method to myself?"

So afterwards, Liu Buming guided Zhuang Xian to look through the alchemy method. Unfortunately, this descendant of the Zhuang family still could not make the words appear.

However, the fourteen-year-old Taoist priest was immediately fascinated by the story after listening to the description of his master, and naturally developed a sense of respect for the "destined person".

"My little disciple and I can't do it, so we have to ask the company for help."

"Of course, the secrets passed down by the Grandmaster must be passed on. As for how the company views it, that is their business. Since it is about 'seeking a relationship', I think the company's system and position cannot hinder it. Facts have proved that I was right. Isn't it just up to you, Grandmaster?"

Yan Huan looked at Liu Buming for a moment and felt that the character and cultivation of this old Taoist priest were truly extraordinary.

But one of the doubts still made Yan Huan feel a little strange.

That is, the moment he got the elixir and opened it, the words were already revealed.

“Seal it with Qi...Seal it with Qi...Qi!”

Yan Huan suddenly realized that it was not that Qi could not activate the words, but that when all the five elements of Qi were running together, the words on the alchemy method would appear.

There is no such thing as "fate"! This is Master Nanhua teaching the Dharma!

The images of the single bridge and the fish reminded Yan Huan of the incident of going against the five elements at the Lu family. He was afraid that at that time, the great master Zhuang Zixiu had already been trying to contact him.

As for why he was led to Zhuangzi's views, Yan Huan almost guessed part of the reason.

Dozens of miles north of this Zhuangzhai Village is the tomb of Zhuangzi. People in the world do not know why the great master Zhuangzixiu died, but it is said that after his death, the heaven and earth were his coffin, the sun and the moon were his jade pendants, the stars were his pearls, and all things in the world were his burial objects...
But only a few people knew that this great master ascended to heaven in a dream and flew away on the big peng that was transformed from Kun.

In other words, this place is closest to the atmosphere that will be formed after his enlightenment.

Yan Huan's body trembled slightly, and he looked at the two people opposite him again. This was a grace of passing on the Tao and imparting the secret method as the true teaching. In the eyes of Liu Buming and Zhuang Xian, they could really call him Uncle Grandmaster.
