Wet viviparity

Chapter 166: Fire Dispersed, Old Star Thoughts

With the scroll in his arms, Ji Ming was a little dazed. He didn't expect that he could get the large characters of Fire Scattered Dragon so easily. A mere gambling fight could bring him such a gain.

The Heavenly Book contains dragon characters, and the River Map contains astronomy. These accumulated knowledge of heavy historical secrets involves the deepest Tao among the three heavens - the Tao of the Gods.

He couldn't help but think of the descendant of Cang Tian on Taiping Mountain, the ancestor of Taiping, Bo He, who served Cang Tian Xijun. He stayed in a stone chamber, staring at the wall for three years, and was granted the three parts of the heavenly law.

Among them was a book called "The Great Characters of the Emperor's Astronomy", which enabled Master Baihe to achieve immortality in one fell swoop in that era when alchemy had not yet been developed.

In front of Baolin Tower, Huyan was waiting there with a big monk.

The monk had large earlobes, like two flesh pendants, which in Buddhism are Buddha ears, and are a sign of great blessings.

Ji Ming knew the other party's identity, so he stepped forward holding the scroll and bowed, "Uncle Kong Xiang."

The big monk grinned, his eyes full of admiration.

"Yes, yes. A small fight has enabled you, a golden boy, to open up one of the three Yin meridians of the foot. No wonder you can be ranked with Tiger Eye as one of the 'three wonderful truths of one jade and one gold'."

Tiger Eyes still had his eyes closed. After listening to Kong Xiang's words, he nodded slightly, but then shook his head and said, "Uncle Master, although Jin Tong has good luck, it doesn't mean that the others are equally good."

Kong Xiang ignored this disciple and said to Ji Ming: "I think you have a good affinity with Buddhism. Why don't you come to my Tianhe Peak and become my disciple? When I realize the truth, you will inherit my teachings."

Ji Ming is no longer the same person he used to be. He is not even willing to worship the master, so how could he become the disciple of this great monk?

After exchanging some pleasantries with Monk Kongxiang in front of the Baolin Tower, he went into the tower holding the scroll. He had to hurry up and take a good look at the mystery of the large dragon characters.

After bathing and burning incense, Ji Ming gently unfolded the scroll.

On the axis surface, a large ink stain occupies the entire center of the axis surface. Looking more closely, the ink stain has many tentacles extending from the axis surface.

They twisted on the axis, giving Ji Ming a feeling as if ink was being roasted by fire and oozing out grease. When he smelled it carefully, he could smell a burnt smell coming from the axis.

Ji Ming began to prepare for the ritual. He wanted to use the magic power of the three old stars of fortune, wealth and longevity to unravel the fire dragon text.

In the building, the person in charge became busy and hurried to the Immortal House in the city to purchase things for Ji Ming.

The requirements for the altar are very high in the ritual. The altars used in the last ritual to refine the Daoist organ and in this gambling fight to pray for rain are not standardized. They can only be used for rituals, not for interpreting talismans.

When Taoist Feihu was making promises in Jiheng Mountain, he gave me a copy of "General Outline of Nandoutan Mantra".

In this book, the altar regulations of the four star gods of the Southern Dipper are recorded. Ji Ming has been concentrating on studying the altar of the Three Old Star Gods.

As for the two Southern Dipper Star Gods, Mu Sheng and Nan Du, who have many believers in the south of Tiannan, Ji Ming did not do much in-depth research on their altar regulations, eulogies, etc.

To be promoted to a Taoist official, the practitioner needs to find a deity, either the star god of the Dou Department, the ghosts and gods of the underworld, the four water fairies, or even the gods of the Lei Department, so that he can worship and offer sacrifices to them sincerely.

Only by praying all the time, worshipping every day and offering sacrifices of three animals during festivals, can one barely retain an image in God's heart.

If the ritual is often used and effective, it means that Jian is in the heart of God. In this way, when you can refine the golden elixir in the future, you will have the opportunity to be promoted from the earthly realm to the heavenly realm and truly become a heavenly official.

There is a common saying in Taoism: if your master determines your lower limit, then the deity you serve wholeheartedly determines your upper limit.

Because Ji Ming didn't have much savings, the manager of Baolin Tower went to a Taoist merchant in the city to open a "Talisman Money Treasure Cabinet" and urgently used the talisman money accumulated by Heguan.

This type of talisman money cabinet was jointly established by Huangting Palace, Zhenling Sect and Taiping Mountain, and was operated and managed by Taoist merchants within the three families. It mainly dealt in the exchange and loan of talisman money.

Soon, an altar made of meteorite stones took shape in the building.

This altar is named "Baotao Xianshou Altar". It is shaped like a peach with a partition in the middle. The tablets of the star gods are placed inside. It is about ten feet high and reaches the ceiling when piled up in the building.

"Open the altar!" A low shout was given and a strong man came out, picked up the prayer flags and walked around the altar, chanting words of praise.

Outside the Baolin Tower, Tian Ye, Hu Yan, even Monk Kong Xiang and a group of underworld officials were all looking at the tall building. They all knew what Ji Ming would do.

"Fire scattered dragon pattern!"

Although Hu Yan kept his eyes closed, he could not hide the envy in his words.

"Uncle Master, you have had frequent exchanges with the fortune teller in the city, and you have had many duels with him in the past. Do you know what kind of great magic is contained in this dragon scripture?"

When the fortune teller was mentioned, Monk Kongxiang lost his solemn appearance and said unhappily, "He is the descendant of Zhongtian and the real person of the Great Chunyang Palace. How can I know his secrets?"

After a short silence, he continued, "According to this boy's level of cultivation, even if he relied on the power of the Southern Dipper Star Lord, I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to fully understand the mystery. He would probably only comprehend a fire-proof pill formula or learn a few fire techniques.

It would be extremely difficult to comprehend the "Zhao Ri Zhen Jing" from it like Jia Huolong did, and to form one's own entity in the Zhong Tian Dao vein. "

"The stars are visible in the daytime." Tian Ye raised his head and shouted, and said to the Yin officials around him: "The ritual is effective, this must be the work of the gods. I am afraid that my brother Jintong will return to heaven sooner or later."

His heart was burning with excitement. There has been a saying since ancient times that if one person achieves enlightenment, all his family members will also benefit. His closeness to Jintong now is not much closer than that of the chickens and dogs.

"The Three Lives are the truest, the court of life.

The spirit is descended by nature, and the soul is molded and the spirit is forged.

Eliminate death and disasters, prolong life and bring blessings.

The seven stars provide nourishment, and the cave is filled with spiritual light.

I now chant the mantra to benefit all sentient beings.

I sincerely pay my respects to the Southern Dipper Star God."

In the building, when the Gangbu steps were taken and the praises were chanted, the old star god's Dharma thoughts immediately fell down, like a round of light, hanging in the peach altar.

According to the general rules of the ritual, once the Dharma thought is sent down, it will fall into the physical body. Then the person presiding over the ritual can use the divine Dharma thought to directly interpret the talismans.

Ji Ming became nervous for a moment, wondering what had gone wrong with Fa Nian's hanging illumination on the peach altar.

"I recognize you!" An old and deep voice came out from the Dharma Thought, saying: "You are the Taoist who gave me the Six Ding Divine Fire last time. Do you still have the Six Ding Divine Fire in your hand?"

"The divine fire comes from Lao Su." Ji Ming said truthfully.

“Yihuo!” There seemed to be some reminiscence in Fa Nian’s tone, and he sighed: “‘When the firewood is burned out, the fire goes out, and the years pass by, the flowers bloom for three thousand years and turn into disasters.’ I, a little Taoist, have got His ruler.”

"Yes, Old Star Diviner."

"Don't flatter me. This thought is used for the purpose of offering sacrifices. A thought arises and disappears. What you hear will not reach the mind of the deity. Even if you are eloquent, it is of no use.

However, if you can obtain the Six Ding Divine Fire and offer it to me for a long time, I will definitely leave your name in my heart."

To obtain the Six Ding Divine Fire, one must contact the Winged Fire Snake Lao Su. Although this magical thought was spoken casually, it reminded Ji Ming of a method to get close to the Three Fate Star Gods.

While he was thinking, a Dharma thought moved and sank into his body.

Ji Ming quickly unfolded the scroll and looked at the dragon pattern again, only to see flames in his eyes. He hurriedly used his hands to block them, and the flames were immediately imprinted on his hands.

In an instant, as if by telepathy, he inexplicably understood something and his fingers moved in the air.
