The Great Way to Truth, Starting from Jiazi Laodao

Chapter 90 The Five Thunder Method is perfected, and the sky is struck by thunder
Spiritual perception enters the token.

A cool breeze blew over me, and I felt like I was shivering shirtless in the snow in the middle of winter.

However, this level of severe cold was like a gentle breeze blowing on an old tree, which would shake it slightly before calming down. It posed no threat at all. His spiritual sense penetrated directly into his mind, and a lot of information flooded into his mind.

In addition to the first part of the "Extreme Yin Secret", there is also an introduction to the token: the Yinfu Token.

It is unknown who created it.

The year it was built is unknown.

It is unknown what it was made of.

It is only recorded that this is the key to the underworld. As long as three thousand children are sacrificed, the soul can use the token to enter the underworld. The more boys and girls are sacrificed, the more powerful the token will be. If the number is full three thousand, its power will far exceed that of ordinary spiritual weapons.

When the old demon fought the City God, the black hood released by the underworld order was made of the child's resentment and blood. Once formed, it could devour the flesh, blood, and souls of all creatures below the level of a real person.

If the City God had not stopped it in time, the deity might have been safe, but the evil spirits and ghosts under his command would have suffered heavy casualties.

Looking at the vicious token in front of him, Xuanming tried to deduce it, but was stopped by an invisible force. He did not force it and gave up decisively. Staring at this unusual magical weapon, Xuanming could not have imagined that he was just a mortal who was refining his mind, but would encounter such a strange thing.

Is this the law of time travel?
Looking at "Extreme Yin Jue" again, although it is a quick and unorthodox method that can only be practiced to the point of perfection, which is the realm of the old ghost, some aspects of it are quite mysterious.

The most important thing is that this is only the first part. From this, we can infer that the next part is the Qi training part. It can be seen that the person who left behind this "Extreme Yin Art" is not comparable to ordinary immortals. At least he must be someone like Hai Fengming who sees the existence of the threshold of spirit training. Otherwise, with his achievement of Hunyuan Dao foundation, ordinary immortals in the Saint Embryo realm cannot stop his deduction at all.

In other words, the Underworld Order was a big trouble. Thinking of this, Xuanming made a decision in his mind.

The rising sun illuminates everything, and the mountains are filled with spring colors. The next morning, after breathing in and out, Xuanming walks down the mountain.

Smoke was rising from cooking fires in Fuyun County, and more and more people were walking on the streets. The entire county was gradually waking up. Xuanming was moving among them, invisible to ordinary people. When they met him, they would automatically give way to him. His movements were smooth, natural, and not deliberate, as if passers-by should take a detour at that place.

The City God Temple is located in the north of Fuyun County. It is a palace covering dozens of acres. It is surrounded by evergreen pines and cypresses and ancient trees. There are small vendors selling a wide variety of food, amulets, candles, sandalwood, purses, etc. along the street.

From afar, the red walls and black tiles sparkle in the sun, dispelling the gloomy atmosphere and adding a sense of sacredness and peace. The wafting scent of sandalwood makes people feel calm.

Through the courtyard wall, one could vaguely see the flying eaves and corners inside. Xuanming did not go in because he did not conceal his own aura. Mortals could not detect it, but he could not hide it from the county god.

He had been waiting outside the temple gate, wearing a crown and a brocade robe, holding two walnuts in his hands, dressed like an ordinary rich man, and looked like an old man in his fifties.

Xuanming walked along the long street and suddenly appeared. In the eyes of the City God, this action was seamless and smooth; in the eyes of ordinary people, Xuanming's appearance was even less abrupt, as if he had always been in sight.

"The City God of Fuyun County has seen the real person."

The City God did not dare to be negligent and was the first to bow and salute. Xuanming did not get carried away and politely bowed his head in return.

"Xuan Ming has met the Venerable God."

After greeting each other, the man and the god exchanged a few polite words. One thanked Xuanming for reminding him and marking the location, which allowed him to catch the old ghost in time and make up for his omission; the other thanked the City God for sending troops to eliminate the harm for the people.

While chatting, they walked towards the teahouse on the other side of Chenghuang Temple Street. Judge Wu, who had disguised himself as a servant, had already booked a private room, which was filled with cakes and tea.

A man and a god sat opposite each other, one sipping tea, the other absorbing air. They had exchanged greetings on the way. After putting down the teacup, Xuanming went straight to the point, took out the underworld order, placed it on the table, and asked the City God to check it.

The City God still remembered the token clearly, and when he picked up the Hades Order, he probed into his spiritual senses, and felt a chill in his face. He shuddered unexpectedly, and then a comfortable and pleased expression appeared on his face, with the corners of his mouth rising involuntarily.

When his spiritual sense probed the bottom and saw the information inside, the smile on his face suddenly paused. He realized the seriousness of the situation, put down the token, and the City God said seriously: "I wonder what the real person is planning?"

"I have no official position, I am just an old Taoist priest in the mountains. Since the old demon was wanted by the gods, this thing was naturally discovered by the gods. It should be handed over to the Pantheon or the county god for disposal."

After expressing his attitude, Xuan Ming told about how he tried to deduce but felt that there was a force blocking him. After all, he and the City God Temple were both involved in the capture of the old demon yesterday. The two families should help each other in this matter in the future. Naturally, they cannot hide anything.

The City God remained silent. He had experienced the ups and downs of officialdom in his lifetime and had a thorough understanding of the pros and cons of it. Especially after listening to the words of Xuanming Zhenren, he knew that this matter was fraught with great crisis.

But fortune often follows misfortune, and misfortune often follows fortune. The greater the crisis, the greater the reward. When he reports this matter, he will surely gain huge benefits. Looking at the old Taoist in front of him, the City God said, "The capture of the old demon and this token are not the work of my City God Temple alone. If the Pantheon has any rewards afterwards, I am willing to share them with the Seeking Truth Temple. If there are any difficulties in the future, I wonder if the real person is willing to help?"

The strength of the Great Xuan Deity is mainly related to the rank and geographical scope. He is just a county city god, and his strength is only comparable to that of a Zhoutian Realm Immortal. Although most of the pressure was borne by the Pantheon after the token was handed over, it is better to be safe than sorry.

If the person behind the token wants to vent his anger in the future, he won't be able to handle it with his body alone, so he naturally wants to ask Qiuzhen Temple for help to share the burden.

The City God also understood that the Qiuzhen Temple could not stay out of this matter. Some things were not secrets in the eyes of certain beings. Master Xuanming said this just to express his attitude. He took the initiative to propose it as a gesture of goodwill and statement of attitude.

"Seeking the truth and observing oneself will advance and retreat with the revered God."

After getting the answer he wanted, Xuanming gave a response, and the City God felt relieved. After drinking a cup of tea, the man and the god left. The City God went back to interrogate the old ghost, while Xuanming went to set up a stall.

---

On the North City Overpass, the old half-immortal and the blind old beggar, who had helped the government chase the beggars all night, both looked exhausted. When they saw Xuanming coming, they perked up, quickly stood up, put on ingratiating smiles on their faces, and started to help set up the stall.

After expressing their gratitude, Xuanming asked them to proceed as usual and treat him as an ordinary person, otherwise, they would not be able to come again tomorrow. The two then gave up and returned to their respective stalls.

Half a cup of tea later, a young man in brocade clothes came straight to Xuanming's stall and said respectfully, "Mr. Yuan, I want to calculate whether I have a chance to have children, and when my wife will get pregnant?"

Xuanming was not surprised at all.

There was a lot of commotion in Fuyun County yesterday. It was expected that Yuan Shoucheng's fame would spread, and it was normal for people to come here because of his reputation.

only……

Looking at the frivolous steps of the young man in brocade clothes, Xuanming said, "Stick out your tongue."

The young man in brocade clothes did as he was told. He continued, "You shouldn't have come to me for fortune-telling. You should have gone to a doctor. I heard that Doctor Lao of Chunfeng Hall is very good at bringing people back to health. You can go and have a try. Don't be afraid to see a doctor."

After watching the angry and embarrassed young man in brocade clothes flee, Xuanming said calmly, "Next one."

After finishing the fortune-telling for the first real customer, Xuanming was indifferent to the second customer's pleas. He packed up his stall and walked back to the mountain. From today on, his rule of fortune-telling once a day would be spread.

There is also his strange divination money: if he likes someone, he can give him one cent; if he doesn't like someone, he can give him a thousand gold coins. It all depends on fate.

By April, Fuyun Mountain was full of vitality and lushness. It had been seven days since the birth of the twins.

On the top of Zangdao Peak, the sea of clouds was rolling, and Xuanming's spiritual perception covered three hundred miles. After finding the target he had been observing for several days, he stretched out his right hand, palm down, five fingers spread out, and pressed down gently.

A hundred miles away, there was a thunderbolt in the clear sky.

A village man who was from a wealthy family but suffocated his bedridden mother with a quilt and made a fortune from the death was hacked to death.

A man who looked honest and simple but secretly insulted and killed several orphan girls was hacked to death.

A man who seemed to be kind and charitable but was actually a bandit leader was hacked to death.

A brothel owner who trafficked many young girls and had several deaths on her hands was hacked to death.

A beggar who escaped the net in Fuyun County was hacked to death.

Looking at the five charred corpses that appeared at the same time and in different places, Xuanming stopped and stroked his beard with satisfaction.

"Heaven strikes with thunder and punishes evil and encourages good. I never thought that the Five Thunder Technique could be perfected in this way!"

The practice of the Five Thunder Method had long encountered a bottleneck and had been slow to achieve great success. Xuanming originally thought that it was because his cultivation was not good enough, until he uprooted the Paihuazi of Fuyun County this time. The Five Thunder Method made rapid progress, and today, when it was fully achieved, he felt as if he had suddenly realized something.

Whether it is contemplating the truth or cultivating supernatural powers, one must follow the same rule:
Small success depends on hard work, medium success depends on wisdom, great success depends on virtue, and ultimate success depends on the Tao!
