Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 216: Righteous Qi Jue

The book that Tian Chang took out was not thick, only a dozen or so pages.

The book cover is yellowed, obviously it is quite old, but it is in very good condition.

Relying on his good eyesight, Shang Lu saw the three words "Zhengqi Jue" written in upright and thick calligraphy on the cover of the book.

Tian Chang introduced: "This book, The Secret of Righteousness, was taught to me by my teacher. If you recite it day and night and study it, you will be able to develop a righteous spirit."

Shang Lu knew that cultivating positive energy was one of the Confucian ways of self-cultivation.

It is just like the way he is now fighting off the blood and energy, and the wizard is absorbing the energy of heaven and earth to refine his magic power.

But he is not a disciple of Confucianism, so how can he practice "The Art of Righteousness" and develop righteousness?

"Of course it is possible."

Tian Chang listened to Shang Lu's question and explained with a smile:
"The Art of Righteousness is a method of cultivating one's own spiritual energy. As long as the county lieutenant is not practicing some evil external arts, there will be no conflict.

As long as you, Lord County Lieutenant, cultivate a righteous character, evil will not be able to do anything.

The stronger the positive energy is, the more effective it is in restraining the evil energy. Even if you encounter an evil spirit that is stronger than you, you will be able to defeat it!
Moreover, cultivating righteousness will be of great benefit to the county lieutenant's future practice."

Shang Lu was skeptical about what Tian Chang said.

If the effect of positive energy was really that strong, Tian Chang would not have been so badly deceived by the black beast.

Of course, it is also possible that Tian Chang’s integrity was not strong enough and his determination was not strong enough, so he was deceived.

So after this incident, he gave up seeking an official position and decided to travel around the world to hone himself.

Regardless of the effect of "Zhengqi Jue", it is Tian Chang's good intention after all.

Moreover, since this method of nourishing qi does not conflict with other exercises, it is fine to recite it and ponder it when you have nothing to do.

But you still have to be polite when you speak.

"This book was given to me by Brother Tian's mentor. How can I take away someone's beloved book?"

Tian Chang said: "I have already memorized the contents of the book, so you don't have to be polite, County Lieutenant."

"Since Brother Tian insists, I will respectfully obey your orders."

Shang Lu was no longer polite and accepted the "Art of Integrity". He also invited Tian Chang to come in and sit for a while and have a cup of tea.

"Thank you for the invitation, Lord County Lieutenant, but you don't need to drink tea."

Tian Chang declined the invitation and bowed again, but was actually saying goodbye to Shang Lu.

"I hope that next time I see you, Lord County Lieutenant, my righteousness, determination, and even cultivation will be even better than they are now."

Shang Lu responded solemnly: "I wish Brother Tian a safe journey."

Tian Chang smiled and said, "It's fine if it's a smooth journey, but we need to hone ourselves. Too much of a smooth journey is not good! County lieutenant, goodbye."

"Goodbye." Shang Lu bowed.

Tian Chang turned around and strode out of the alley.

Watching Tian Chang leave, Shang Lu looked down at the "Art of Righteousness" in his hand and laughed, "This scholar is quite a wonderful person."

Returning to the yard, Shang Lu glanced at Uncle Huai who was curled up in a ball, and said unhappily: "Okay, stop pretending. I won't let you practice with me anymore."

When Uncle Huai heard this, he immediately spread out the branches, but he didn't know that Shang Lu was secretly muttering in his heart: "It's just that I won't practice with you today, I have to continue tomorrow."

Shang Lu held the "Art of Righteousness" in his hand and opened it in the yard.

Seeing this, Uncle Huai moved a few branches away to allow the sunlight to shine through better.

Although Shang Lu can see clearly even in the darkest environment with his eyes, Uncle Huai still has to show his attitude.

Seeing this, Sanniang waved her hand, and the tables and chairs in the main room immediately flew out and were placed in the yard. She also made a pot of tea for Shang Lu. Shang Lu raised his head from the book and smiled at Sanniang.

Just reading a few paragraphs in "The Art of Righteousness" made the blood and energy in his body boil along with these words.

The blood and energy after boiling were tempered and strengthened once again.

Although the amount of blood and qi has not increased, the quality has changed slightly.

The words and phrases in "The Art of Righteousness" truly possess magical power!
If you can recite it for a long time, I'm afraid it will really be like what Tian Chang said, and cultivate a righteous spirit.

It even makes his blood and energy, like thunder and fire, become the nemesis of evil.

Is this the ability of Confucianism? It is indeed amazing.

Shang Lu sat down, drank a sip of tea, adjusted his breathing, calmed his mind, and began to recite the words in "Righteous Qi Jue" aloud:
"Heaven and earth have righteousness. The great righteousness is the greatest and the most powerful. If it is nurtured with integrity and without harm, it will fill the space between heaven and earth..."

At the beginning, Shang Lu simply recited these words.

After quickly finishing the recitation, Shang Lu closed his eyes and checked the changes in his body.

Then he was pleasantly surprised to find that in addition to the tempering of his blood and energy, there were also changes in his internal organs.

The colors of the three statues of the heart, liver, and spleen are brighter than before, and their expressions are more vivid.

In addition, the fog covering the statues of the lung god and the kidney god actually dissipated a little after reciting the "Zhengqi Jue".

Although the changes on the five statues were not big, or even very small, if Shang Lu had not been meticulous enough, he would not have noticed it.

Even so, Shang Lu was still very excited.

So far, apart from improving one's cultivation level, there are only a few things like the courage of a high-level monster snake that can strengthen the statues in the five internal organs.

Moreover, compared with things like high-quality snake gallbladder, it only benefits a single statue.

However, "The Art of Righteousness" can benefit all five statues at the same time, which is truly an unexpected surprise!
Even if the gain is smaller, it doesn't matter.

If you recite and ponder every day, you will naturally be able to accumulate little by little and eventually build a sea.

"The heart stores the spirit, the lungs store the soul, the liver stores the spirit, the spleen stores the intention, and the kidneys store the will. Regardless of the spirit, soul, spirit, and will, they are all affected by the righteous energy and will become firm and strong under the tempering of the righteous energy. Perhaps this is the reason why the "Righteous Energy Sutra" can benefit the five internal organs and five spirits?"

Shang Lu originally planned to flip through "The Art of Righteousness" casually to see what effects it had.

Now that I've seen his abilities, it's no longer as simple as just flipping through them.

He stood up, washed his face and hands, then came back to pick up the "Zhengqi Jue" and recited it seriously.

Seeing that he was serious, Sanniang lit a stick of incense beside him.

It was just the incense burned in an ordinary temple, but it made Shang Lu calm down all of a sudden.

Shang Lu recited "The Art of Righteousness" over and over again.

Gradually, his mind entered a mysterious state.

It was as if he was no longer a human being, but had turned into a stream of air between heaven and earth.

Below it is the rivers and mountains, above it is the stars.

Wander freely between heaven and earth.

A surge of righteousness burst out from Shang Lu's body.

Although the quantity is not large, it is pure and awe-inspiring.

This righteous spirit also affects the people and things around.

People passing by the alley, looking at this famous haunted alley in Luoshui County, feel that it is not as eerie and scary as before, and has a bit more majestic and upright.
