Chapter 9 Alive
In the inner hall of the Taoist temple, Yang Huai received a wooden plaque with cloud patterns symbolizing his identity as a Taoist. This meant that he could officially enter the inner hall and listen to the great masters sent by the Taoist country explain the fundamental laws.
After being included in the Taoist register, he was no longer an object that could be beaten, killed, or enslaved at will by the Taoist masters of the country. Even if he worked in the kitchen, he could get a share of the remuneration, although it was still meager.
There are only two differences, but from then on there is a world of difference.
“This makes me a Taoist…”
Deep in the sea of consciousness, Qingli was still a little dazed.
Although I already knew that with my speed of comprehending the twenty-two-character original character patterns, learning the first eight original character patterns would be a natural process, but on this day, I still felt a little bit unbelievable.
After all, in his previous impression, this day was too difficult.
Every character seems like an unsolvable puzzle that I just can’t learn.
To cultivate the fundamental Dharma, return home in glory to serve one's parents, and marry one's beloved is nothing more than a daydream.
"With an innate talent, is it so rare to enter the door?"
Yang Huai's voice rang out in her sea of consciousness, choking Qingli immediately.
He was speechless for a moment.
Yang Huai continued to focus his attention on the twenty-two original character patterns.
Being granted the status of a Taoist does not mean that he has to stop his contemplation. On the contrary, he feels that the remaining original characters and diagrams have extraordinary significance to him. If he learns them, it will definitely be beneficial to his formal fundamental practice.
But after obtaining the status of a Taoist, he still made certain adjustments.
Before, he devoted more energy to the twenty-two-character original pattern, followed by the Zhoutian Heart Method, but now he has reversed it.
After all, his goal in the first stage has been achieved.
As the news of Qingli's entry into the Taoist Directory spread like wildfire, Yang Huai met his three 'roommates' Bai Jian, Yuan Sheng and Hou Sheng again at noon.
The three Taoist boys looked at Yang Huai with strange eyes.
"Qingli, if I hadn't confirmed that you weren't possessed by evil spirits, I would have thought you were possessed by an evil spirit. Otherwise, why would you be listed in the Taoist book so quickly?"
When Bai Jian said this, the bitterness on his face could no longer be concealed.
Except for him, all the other four Taoist children living in this monastery have been registered as Taoists, especially Qingli, who was the least favored one, who was also registered early. The feeling of this is really hard to describe.
He had a feeling that the heavens were very unkind to him.
He scratched his hair, but when he thought of the obscure original pattern of twenty-two characters, he felt bald again.
The two brothers, Yuansheng and Housheng, were looking at Yang Huai, and Yuansheng asked.
"Qingli, it seems that you have awakened a special innate talent. What is your innate talent?"
His eyes flickered, and this was the only way to explain the changes in Qingli.
"Indeed, but you shouldn't ask that!"
Yang Huai was not willing to answer this question. Of course, if it were Qingli, who was so vain, she would most likely reveal her underwear.
"Uh……"
The two brothers Yuansheng and Housheng looked at each other, both of them were a little surprised. In their opinion, whoever possesses special innate talents will show off everywhere, and it would be great if the whole Taoist temple knew about it, so as to make a name for themselves.
Similar to the two of them, even if they only received talismans from the Jade Palace Fairy, they would be eager to wander around the Taoist temple a few more times.
In their opinion, Qingli should be the same type of person as them.
Now Qingli seems to have changed a little.
Yang Huai was also looking at the two brothers at this time. After not seeing the two brothers for a few days, they had obviously changed. He noticed that the brothers' auras became hotter and their eyes were glowing with a yellow-green halo, as if they were inhuman.
What kind of special inhuman fundamental method is this?
"If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. I originally wanted to recommend you to Master Yugong, but now it seems that it is not necessary!"
Housheng snorted coldly at this time, looking a little worried.
"Brother, let's go and ignore this powerful villain!" Yuansheng was pulled by him, but did not move. Instead, he looked at Yang Huai with sincere eyes.
"In any case, Qingli, congratulations on your admission to the Dao. From now on, you and I can be considered true brothers from the same sect. If you want to become a disciple of Master Yugong, we brothers will find a way for you!"
After a slight pause, he continued.
"Although you have special innate talents, it still makes a huge difference whether you have the protection and guidance of a master or not!"
Yang Huai looked at Yuansheng with a little surprise. Yuansheng was obviously much more experienced than the young and inexperienced Housheng, so he said immediately.
"I heard that the instructions given by the masters in the Taoist temple all have prices marked early on!"
He had heard about the cultivation culture in the Taoist temple through Qingli. The evil spirits and monsters in the depths of the wilderness were certainly dangerous, but these celestial beings and the Supreme Beings were not good people either.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Sheng said as a matter of course.
"The great sage once said that knowledge is priceless. Without giving, there is no gain, just like us two brothers!"
He walked out of the monastery and came to a rockery on the side. With a casual pinch, a piece of rock was immediately formed like dough, and a faint trace of fire could be seen emerging.
"Everyone needs to live. Only by living can there be a future!"
This move immediately made Yang Huai's eyes move. The inhuman power revealed in it was truly astonishing.
And what is that faint glow of fire?
Is this the power brought by the fundamental law?
Bai Jian at the side couldn't get a word in. He just looked at the scene with a slightly pale face, especially when he looked at the rocks that were crushed with ease. How could the human race with flesh and blood be compared with rocks? Facing these Taoists, they, the Taoist children, were like rocks and could be crushed to death with ease.
Yang Huai hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
"At least I have the opportunity to choose, right?"
Saruyoshi took a look and had to admit that Aonari was much smarter than he thought.
Yang Huai’s words hit the nail on the head. He and Bai Jian are different.
Having innate talents always gives you more options than others.
You can choose how to live.
"I will think about it!"
Yang Huai simply said, Yuansheng and Housheng left soon, they had to go back to report, they did come with some mission, not just to congratulate Qingli on becoming a Taoist.
Bai Jian looked at the two people leaving, his eyes flickering, and he still felt a little shaken about the decision he had made deep in his heart.
Taking this shortcut may not seem to be a wrong approach at the moment.
Yang Huai saw the look deep in Bai Jian's eyes, but he did not remind him. After all, he himself didn't know whether it would be a blessing or a curse to reject the kindness of the Jade Palace Fairy.
But he always believed that there is no such thing as a free lunch.
And as he said, he had a choice.
In the afternoon, Yang Huai still had to go to the kitchen to take turns on duty.
As the innate essence in his body continued to be integrated into the twelve meridians and the five internal organs, Yang Huai could clearly feel a slight difference. This time, in the first hour, he had not even shed a drop of sweat, and his breathing was not disordered. Even with the scorching heat escaping from the kitchen, he did not even feel a bit of discomfort.
An endless supply of innate essence flowed from his right arm into the depths of his heart, flowing through his internal organs, as if merging into the deep source of his life, and his entire life was evolving towards an inhuman state.
During this process, the progress of the Zhoutian Heart Method has gradually surpassed the main world. Yang Huai felt many of the twelve main meridians, and many hidden veins and acupoints that had never been touched were penetrated. The speed at which the body was integrating with the innate essence was getting faster and faster, and gradually evolving towards the Great Zhoutian.
"Ok!"
At this moment, Yang Huai, who was carrying firewood, suddenly had an idea, as if a flash of inspiration came to him. He turned his head and saw the Taoist Yunwu who was chopping firewood. He chopped down with an axe, and saw a large black spot suddenly burst out from the deep of the pitch-black giant tree. Seeing this scene, his hair stood on end instantly, and he subconsciously rushed to the depths of the kitchen where the temperature was extremely high.
"what!"
A series of screams suddenly came from behind.
That was the scream of another Taoist boy, and at the same time, there was a fine buzzing sound like a life-chasing talisman, accompanied by a wisp of evil wind, flying towards them at a high speed.
