Chapter 42: Not a Remnant
The method of worshipping the gods of the five temples can be called the "correct method of worshipping the gods of the five temples."

It is said in the "Immortal Scriptures" that these five methods are the methods of longevity, the most effective method in cultivating the primordial spirit in the world, and they have a long history!
Naturally, not everyone can practice this kind of Dharma that leads to immortality.

According to what Yu Que knew, even if he was admitted to the county school, he might not be able to teach the Five Temples' orthodox Dharma, but he would most likely be taught the branch Dharma of the Five Temples' orthodox Dharma.

For example, the Seven Killings lineage that Huang Guishan mentioned just now is a branch lineage, which is affiliated with the Tai Sui lineage, but it is not the Tai Sui lineage itself.

Its properties are not pure, mostly it is a mixture of other unorthodox methods, so it is difficult to directly lead to immortality, but it can be transferred to the Tai Sui lineage for practice.

"It is rumored that only those who have passed the 'Zhongju' exam again after the Xiaoju exam and entered the Taoist temple, or those who have shown their celestial qualities when they opened the ancestral temple during the Xiaoju exam, will be recommended to the Taoist temple and qualified to pass on the Five Temples' righteous teachings.

Yu Que pondered in his heart: "Even if you are admitted to the Taoist Palace, ordinary people may not be suitable for the Five Temples' orthodox teachings. You still have to continue to practice the unorthodox methods."

And at this moment, according to Huang Guishan, there is a high probability that he, Yu Que, can directly join the Dharma lineage comparable to the Five Temples. How can he not be excited!
However, after being excited for a while, Yu Que calmed down in time and became alert.

He looked at Huang Guishan, who had his back to him, and asked tentatively in a low voice:
"I am so excited! Master Huang's words just now... Could it be that you have the inheritance of the Tai Sui Dharma Lineage in your hands, and can allow your disciples to obtain the 'extraordinary teachings'?"

The Five Temples can also be called the Five Teachings. The so-called "transmission outside the teachings" refers to the superior methods that can be taught without going through examinations.

This type of Dharma is often transmitted without the use of text or words, and directly passes on the heart seal of the Immortal Path. There are many ways of passing on Dharma, such as enlightenment, transmitting power in dreams, and passing on from the past to the present.

However, this kind of "secret teaching outside the religion" is even rarer than protecting descendants and recommending minor candidates for imperial examinations. Yu Que has only seen it in vernacular novels.

When Huang Guishan heard Yu Que's words, his body suddenly stiffened and he coughed again. After hesitating for a long time, he said helplessly: "That's not the case."

The other party muttered: "I am just a lousy ninth-rank refiner, how can I pass on the secrets outside the sect... If you want to join the Tai Sui Dharma lineage, you also need to take the county examination. After entering the county school, you will have the opportunity to practice the Tai Sui Dharma lineage before entering the Dao Palace."

"It turns out that you still need to enter the county school first."

When Yu Que heard this, a look of disappointment appeared on his face, but his vigilance was also relaxed a lot.

It is just as Huang Guishan said self-deprecatingly, this man is a ninth-rank alchemist, and he is not very successful in the alchemist guild. It is reasonable for him to know some inside stories that ordinary people don't know.

But if he really had a "secret teaching" in his hand and casually revealed it to Yu Que, it would be too bizarre. It is hard to guarantee that this person is not fooling Yu Que and wants to do something bad to him.

It is rare and precious that this person can point out a smooth road for Yu Que.

But the next moment.

Yu Que let out a long breath and chuckled, "Since we all have to be admitted to the county school first, and we also need other opportunities, then why should I choose the 'Taisui Dharma Lineage'?

Although this kind of previous dynasty’s lineage is also a legitimate deity, it is obvious that they are full of troubles and could easily offend the government.”

He muttered to himself, grinned, and said:

"Not to mention this kind of Dharma lineage, it's terrifying just to hear about it. There's no guarantee that I'll have to continue to have my tongue pulled out, my muscles cramped, and so on, and suffer pain that ordinary people can't endure.

I don't want to be tortured again, but I think the lineage of the Lord of Heaven and Earth seems pretty good!"

Huang Guishan was stunned again when he heard this. He finally turned around, looked at Yu Que unhappily, and shouted:
"What do you know, you can cultivate the lineage of the God of Heaven and Earth?

Only if you are a descendant of noble families, or a member of the royal family of this dynasty, will you be qualified to practice the Dharma of the Lord of Heaven and Earth.

Not only that, if you want to practice the other five temples in the county school, you must open up a spiritual temple. In other words, you must have the blood of a spiritual person. "

Huang Zhengshan spread his hands, looked at Yu Que, and asked, "Do you meet these two conditions?"

"To live and die with the country, the blood of the spiritual people..." Yu Que chewed on the other party's words, and his brows suddenly frowned.

His studies on Taoism were not bad, so he naturally knew the meaning of these two things.

The former refers to the group of aristocratic families who founded the dynasty, all of whom were people who shared the same destiny with the country.

The latter refers to those who are born with spirits. In ancient times, they were called "spiritual roots". Even if the spiritual roots were poor, they were all good seeds for practicing Taoism.

It's a pity that he is lacking. Even if the Fu family is counted, the ancestors for eighteen generations ago were all grassroots and there has never been a real spiritual root and bloodline.

Although whether or not one has bloodline, except for some who are too strong, will now be known when the ancestral temple is opened. But he estimated that he would only be a "straw man" and not a "spiritual man".

Yu Que lowered his head and said, "So, unless I pass the Dao Palace exam, there is a high probability that I will not be able to come into contact with the Five Temples' Dharma." Huang Guishan shook his head and said directly, "No, no, it's not a high probability, but a 99% chance."

The other party pointed at Yu Que:

"When the ancestral temple was built, it had to be more than three feet tall to be considered a sacred temple, and anything less than three feet tall was considered a thatched temple.

In this way, the distinction between straw men and spirit men can be made. You have not yet opened a temple, but you have already cultivated the Yin God and possessed divine consciousness, so you can already see the clues. "

When Yu Que heard this, his heart sank.

As soon as his mind moved, he realized what the other party was talking about, which was the range of his current spiritual awareness, which was exactly three feet, not a centimeter more or less.

As Yu Que expected, Huang Guishan said:

"The Seven Corpses' Returning Lights Ritual is an extremely effective spiritual cultivation ritual. If you have a pure and extraordinary bloodline and spirituality, the spiritual consciousness you cultivate will often exceed three feet.

Right now, your spiritual consciousness is stuck on the three-foot line, which means that the ritual has already exhausted your potential, and there is no possibility of further progress. When you open up your ancestral temple, it will only be small, definitely not big, at most three feet is just right."

Yu Que stood there in a daze. Suddenly, he felt unwilling and wanted to contradict Huang Guishan.

How could the other party deny his talent and potential so easily! ?

But after a little reluctance rolled over him, Yu Que suppressed it and smiled bitterly:
"It's just a straw man. This is within my expectation. On the contrary, Master Huang said that when I open up the ancestral temple, it may reach three feet in size. For a follower like me, this is already outstanding and a great thing."

Huang Guishan raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect that Yu Que was so self-aware and able to clear himself.

But then, Yu Que's words made this person feel that he was too self-aware.

Yu Que's bitter smile turned into a light laugh, and he said happily:
“It’s fine if it’s a three-foot ancestral temple. As far as I know, if the ancestral temple can reach more than nine inches, it can give the cultivator the potential to enter the eighth level.

If the ancestral temple of the younger generation can be three feet, it will be much larger than nine inches. When we are promoted in the future, we can expand it and it can also meet the conditions for practicing the Five Temples Dharma. "

In addition, as far as Yu Que knows, in addition to the so-called spiritual bloodline that is innate, there are also spiritual objects in the world that can be refined into the ancestral temple and transform the grass temple into a spiritual temple.

Therefore, although bloodline can make a huge difference in people's cultivation, it is not a shackle and cannot block the path to becoming an immortal.

Huang Guishan's eyes were filled with surprise, as he understood the meaning of Yu Que's words, which was that Yu Que was not interested in practicing the "Tai Sui Dharma Lineage" in advance, but still wanted to move closer to the direction of the Five Temples Dharma.

The man frowned and asked in a low voice: "Why are you so resistant to the Tai Sui Dharma? Huang can guarantee that the words of the Seven Veins are not false, and the Tai Sui Dharma does not emphasize talent, which is very suitable for you."

Yu Que said decisively:
"Master Huang, the Tai Sui lineage is also very good, but the Five Temples Dharma is more open and broad for the younger generation."

Seeing that Huang Guishan was still puzzled, he whispered again:
"My name is Yuque, not a remnant. The connection with the previous dynasty's lineage is too heavy. Moreover, I am already a cultivator with a promising future. Why should I get involved with such a lineage?"

Huang Guishan was surprised when he heard this, and then he realized that Yu Que really despised the cause and effect of the "Taisui Lineage".

This person wanted to explain that after more than 800 years, all the past events had long since disappeared, and the Tiandiye lineage of this dynasty had already been actively supporting the Tai Sui lineage, and there were many opportunities.

There was even a certain Heavenly Master who wanted to go against the grain and suppress the Tai Sui lineage once again, but he was deposed by the five ancestral temples and the clan members of the current dynasty, shocking everyone.

But when the words came to his lips, Huang Guishan realized that he had said too much today, and if he continued, he would only make people annoying.

Moreover, the young man in front of him had already entered the ranks of alchemists at the age of less than sixteen. He was indeed quite talented in the field of alchemy, had a bright future, and had room for choice.

Therefore, Huang Guishan hesitated to speak, and finally sighed softly:
"As one of the Seven True Sects, how could it be so important to be called a remnant...

Never mind, never mind. Today, Huang is just happy for you. As for the various Dharma lineages, whether they are good or bad, you will have to make your own assessment when you enter the county school and need to choose a Dharma lineage to practice."

Yu Que breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that this person did not make any more recommendations.

He bowed quickly and said in a low voice: "I am ignorant and have caused Master Huang trouble."

The two chatted for a while in the quiet room.

Yu Que stole a few glances at the man, and seeing that his complexion had recovered, he became more alert and immediately asked about his family's position. This was the main point of his visit today.
