Wet viviparity

Chapter 218 Lingwen, direct society
"It is the Taiping Society, but you can also say it is not."

Several pieces of talisman paper flew out of Zhang Xiaoyuan's bag and were pasted on all four sides of the temple to block out any possible prying eyes.

"To be more precise, it is the Mountain Society "Toad". It is a team directly under my master, hidden among the 42 members of the Taiping Society, carrying out some top-secret missions."

"So you chose me among the many Taoists on the mountain!"

Ji Ming said.

"Your background is innocent, and your trajectory since birth is almost traceable." At this point, Zhang Xiaoyuan thought of the inexplicable prophecy and said, "Of course everyone has secrets, and we understand and respect this."

"Just because of innocence?"

"Of course, there is also ability and accurate judgment." Zhang Xiaoyuan added.

It seems that Ji Ming's decisive stance today has greatly improved Zhang Xiaoyuan's impression, and it can even be said that it has changed his impression a lot.

Zhang Xiaoyuan took out a black talisman and wrote Ji Ming's name on it in front of him. Then the black talisman spontaneously combusted, and a pair of eyes looked over from the darkness.

Ji Ming stared ahead. He could sense the direction of the gaze, and a name popped up in his mind, "Lu Daojun!"

In the temple, Zhang Xiaoyuan was more nervous than Ji Ming. Ji Ming was the first person he recommended to the master, and he was not recommended from within the Taiping Society, so it was considered an exceptional recommendation.

His gaze did not stay on Ji Ming for long, the talisman fire gradually dissipated, and a remnant of recognition sounded in the small temple.

Zhang Xiaoyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Congratulations, Junior Brother Zhang, you have now officially become a member of the "Toad". Once you are officially ordained, you can go to the "Closed Eyes Courtyard" to participate in the ceremony."

"Is it possible to confer the ordination?" Ji Ming sighed and said, "One of the conditions for conferring the ordination is to transfer from the Earthly Court to the Heavenly Court!"

The talisman is a spiritual contract passed down secretly among Taoists. In the talisman there are fairies, generals, soldiers and others who can be commanded by the magician. It contains the miraculous skills and true methods of ascending from the secular world to the true realm and of keeping the Tao forever. It also prevents one from becoming a lowly ghost, and keeps on reincarnating forever. It indicates a connection with Tao, which is almost a guarantee for obtaining the golden elixir.

One of the rules in Xuantan is that if a foundation-building cultivator does not receive the ordination certificate, he cannot pray for others and is not eligible to participate in the Cangtian Grand Ceremony.

This is because Taoist priests who have not received ordination have no spiritual officials or officers to serve them, and they have no names in the heavenly court. Even if they pray for blessings and hold grand rituals, they will not be answered.

Zhang Xiaoyuan waved his finger and said, "The Heavenly Court is different from the Earthly Court. We can report to our ancestors through the three righteous sects and transfer our Daoist membership to the Heavenly Court. The Heavenly Court needs to be recommended by the Heavenly Official Star Lord in the sky, and then reviewed by the Heavenly Official under the command of the Three Origin Heavenly Lords."

Ji Ming knew this process, and because he knew it, he understood the difficulty involved.

There are many people practicing Taoism in the world, like carp crossing a river. If they want to stand out from the crowd and leap into the sight of the immortals in heaven, they have to establish connections and demonstrate their value that is recognized by the immortals.

The difficulty involved is not much lower than practicing.

Seeing Ji Ming frowning, Zhang Xiaoyuan said comfortingly, "There are also ancestral tablets on the mountain. Although these tablets are left by deceased Taoist priests and have various restrictions and causes and effects, they are also very useful.

When I show my talent in the future, I can go to the mountain to receive a ancestral scroll based on my merits."

"hope so!"

The difference between the ancestral talisman and the Dharma talisman is beyond reason. Ji Ming feels that he has some ability, so he naturally focuses on the Dharma talisman instead of inheriting the ancestral talisman from others after their death.

Ji Ming thought of Su Luo. Logically speaking, the other party also had a ancestral talisman, which was inherited by the abbots of the Sibeiyun Temple for generations, but it was never seen in the final battle.

"Who did he give it to?"

This question came to my mind uncontrollably, and finally I looked at Zhang Xiaoyuan and asked him this question.

"At Zhiguang's place."

"He's not dead?" Ji Ming was a little surprised. During the process of summoning Yisu Fa Nian on the Xumo Cliff, the monk Zhiguang had only one breath left, but he was still alive. "The ancestor's talisman saved Zhiguang's life. When he was sent to the other courtyard, it was almost like a mutilated charred corpse. If it weren't for the ancestor's talisman to keep him alive, he would have died long ago."

Zhang Xiaoyuan looked at Ji Ming and said bluntly: "Now that Su Luo is dead, the old grudge has been resolved. I intend to facilitate the reconciliation between you and the Sibeiyun Temple and let you meet Na Zhiguang."

"Senior brother means"

“Jueguang represents the Zen practitioners and Buddhists on the mountain, as well as some staunch opponents of my master, and Sibeiyun Temple is definitely a significant force among them.

Now that you have killed Su Luo, the abbot of Sibeiyun Temple, people in Sibeiyun Temple have two opinions about you. One is that they hate you to the core, and the other is that they are terribly afraid of you.

No one understands better than the people of Sibeiyun Temple the horrific oppression the Zen master has inflicted on you, an oppression that has lasted nearly twenty years since you were born.

Now that Zen Master Sura is dead, it is only natural that you transfer your hatred to the Sibeiyun Temple.

The more silent and low-key you are, the more frightened and uneasy some people will be. Can you understand their fear of being powerless and having no control over their life and death?"

Ji Ming smiled knowingly after hearing this. He understood that there must be some exaggeration in Zhang Xiaoyuan's words, but Zhang Xiaoyuan's words made him feel respected.

"Okay, I'll go see him."

After a secret talk with Zhang Xiaoyuan, Ji Ming asked Shu Si to deliver the book on the three realms of foundation building from Fayan Villa.

When Shu Si was delivered, Qian Geng also came with him.

Qian Geng's expression was obviously much more submissive, with less arrogance than before. He stood outside the small temple and said, "That lady has settled in a nunnery east of Xiaoxi Mountain. She calls herself 'Nang Yi Nun' and often performs wonderful music there, entertaining the rich and the common people in Yucheng. This has made the nunnery very popular."

"Ok!"

Ji Ming sat cross-legged on the stone drum throne and nodded gently.

Shu Si came forward holding two Taoist books, handed out one of them and said, "In the library of the other academy, there is one of the six chapters of "The Interpretation of the Book of Alchemy and Spiritual Texts". It was given by the emperor when this academy was first established. It records the wonderful principles of the transformation of dragons and tigers."

Ji Ming took the book, stroked its spine lovingly, and said, "In the past, the Yuanyang Patriarch of the Great Chunyang Palace met a true immortal in Tianyu Mountain, who taught him the secret formula. They agreed to meet again in the mountain next year, so he left six secret texts.

Later, Yuan Yang Zu met with the real immortal every year and obtained the deciphered text. After that, he combined his own alchemy and completed a book called "Alchemy Book and Spiritual Text Interpretation", in which six Taoist texts fully described the mysteries of alchemy.

As Yuan Yang Zu's alchemy became popular throughout the world, these six articles were also gradually passed down to the world. Although the principles of the world change with the times, these six articles are still regarded as the golden rule. "

Just as Ji Ming was about to open it, he saw Shu Si handing him another book.

"This book of interpretation copied by Brother Qian contains the method of condensing water evil from the "Tianhe Qu Zhen Shui Fa" of Jinbi Water Mansion, which can help the master get rid of the "Yang Dragon" in his body."

"Oh!"

Ji Ming pretended to be surprised and took the second Taoist book.

Sure enough, as soon as this Yaksha Qian Geng was hit, he immediately took remedial measures, and they were the Taoist books that he liked.

"Come, Qian Geng and Shu Si, come and discuss with me the principles in the Dragon and Tiger chapter of the "Explanation of the Magic Texts in the Book of Alchemy"."

Hearing this, Qian Geng breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Shu Silue to express his gratitude.

Without Shu Si's help, even with this book, it would be difficult for him to dispel the grudge in the master's heart so smoothly and silently.
