Chapter 107: Become a Senior Brother for Once (asking for monthly ticket) Everyone looked at the spirit writing and gradually fell into deep thought. Although the spirit medium did not seem to be speaking specifically, he had actually pointed out several directions for them. The most important thing was that no matter which direction they were in, it did not seem to be a trivial matter. If it was something in the capital, or something in the human world, it would be an undercurrent dispute in the court, a change of dynasty, or even a catastrophe in the world. If it was something about alchemy, whether it was ordinary alchemy or the "silver-eating ghost" mentioned by the second senior brother, it involved an entire state and so much silver, which must be a big deal. If the medium's predictions and divinations are correct, then this medium must be truly knowledgeable and capable of making predictions and divinations. And he is very bold in speaking out. Everyone couldn't help but look at the old Taoist. "What are you looking at me for? No matter how big the event is, it won't happen in the next few years. When the wind comes, your master will have already ascended to heaven." Taoist Yunhe waved his hand weakly. People tend to feel sleepy when they get older. It is easy to feel sleepy after eating. Eating rice and noodles makes you more likely to feel sleepy.
At this moment, he seemed to be very sleepy. The energy he had just regained from eating was tired again, and he seemed unable to open his eyes. After a pause, he continued: "But this matter has affected the entire Huizhou Prefecture, and is no longer limited to the city at the foot of the mountain. If there is any trouble, our Yishan will probably be affected as well. Such a major event should not be reported only to Qiyunshan." "Master is saying..." Lin Jue looked at his master Taoist Yunhe in confusion. "We should report this to the God of Yishan Mountain." "Mountain God..." Lin Jue knew that this mountain god was extraordinary—— Yishan is not a small mountain. It covers a large area and is full of spiritual energy and mystery. The mountain god of Yishan has been a god here for many years. If we talk about his Taoist status, looking at all the mountains in the world, I am afraid that only the legendary three fairy mountains and the mountain gods of the Five Sacred Mountains can be compared with him. The several Taoist temples in the entire Yishan Mountain, as well as the numerous mountain spirits and monsters in the mountain, are actually all protected by him. Perhaps the spiritual charm captured by many Taoist spirits while practicing on a mountain in the early morning actually came from him. "I will ask you to go and report first. If the mountain god approves, you three can go and report on a certain day." "understood." Taoist Yunhe stood up and went back to the house. "Senior brothers, please go back and have a rest. I will clean up after I finish eating." The little sister was still holding the bowl and sitting on the bench next to them, watching them for a long time. Even so, many fellow disciples also put the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen and started washing them. Only Lin Jue returned to the house calmly. …… For beings like the Yishan Mountain God, you cannot just go and report to him whenever you want. That would be too presumptuous. You need to ask someone to report it first, and only go after the mountain god's permission.
Lin Jue was not in a hurry—— I have indeed experienced the efficiency of the gods in heaven last time. I think that for at least a few months, the gods worshipped by the Taoist friends in Qiyun Mountain will not be able to find out anything. So he found his fourth senior brother and asked him to teach him the magic of "gathering beasts and controlling birds". At that time, the fourth senior brother was sitting cross-legged in the outer courtyard, making a bamboo flute by himself. The clouded leopard was lying quietly beside him with its head on his thighs. There were a few wild wolves fighting and playing behind them, and three smaller clouded leopards were staring at them, very alert. Lin Jue had been in the mountains for a year and a half. The clouded leopard had found a mate and had given birth to three cubs. Hearing his question, the fourth senior brother did not hesitate at all and asked Lin Jue to find a cushion and sit opposite him. The fox lay on its stomach behind Lin Jue, its entire body spread out like a soft white blanket, with only its extremely fluffy and soft tail swaying flexibly from side to side. Its head and chin were flat on the ground, and its eyes were looking around. "There are some benefits to learning this spell. At least after learning it, you can understand what Fuyao means." The fourth brother glanced at the white fox behind him, "But then again, after getting along for a long time, sometimes you can understand what the other person means without using spells or words, right?" "Yes." Lin Jue turned around and looked at the fox. The fox was also aiming at him. "Humans are like this, too." The fourth brother said as he used Lin Jue's woodcarving knife to drill holes in the bamboo. "Animals are like this, too." "Yes." "very good--" The fourth senior brother said to him: "This is also one of the key points of this spell." "is it?" "The most superficial one." The fourth brother said, "This spell is very useful. Even if you don't use it for fighting, it can eliminate loneliness. In the future, when you go to a strange place and there is no one to ask for help, you may be able to ask the nearest wild animal for directions, water, and food." "How do I practice?" "You know, for some spells, it's not enough to just practice the skills. You also have to cultivate your mind and comprehend the nature of heaven and earth." The fourth brother said, "Our spell is similar. It can be divided into two parts. One is the skills of the spell and the use of magic power, and the other is the state of mind." Having said this, he stopped what he was doing and said to Lin Jue solemnly: “The latter is what’s most important.” "clear." Lin Jue nodded. Isn't this how my Wood Release technique works? Practicing skills is small, cultivating the mind is big. "Especially in our kind of magic." The fourth brother shook his head and said, "The skills of magic are very simple, but it is very difficult to have the right state of mind. It requires not only a pure and kind heart, but also the pursuit of enlightenment and long-term practice." "How do you say it?" "Have you ever heard of this saying? If the seafarer has no heart, the seagulls can be friendly to him." "Never heard of it." "That is to say, if people who go out to sea to fish do not hurt the hearts of seagulls, they can play with them freely. You often deal with spirits in the mountains and under the mountains. You should understand that if you are calm in your heart, without any evil thoughts or offensive intentions, many spirits can talk to you naturally." The fourth brother said: "This spell is the same: animals all have spirits. If you want to make friends with them and call upon them, the most important thing is to have a heart that does not harm them."
"Is that all?" "Of course it's more than that." The fourth brother smiled, picked up the bamboo flute, and looked at the skylight through the hole. Then he continued, "You also need to have a clear conscience. This depends on your personal state of mind and character." "State of mind and character?" "Some people who want to practice this method must not eat meat for the rest of their lives; some people who practice this method must not put these creatures in danger, otherwise the spells cannot be cast; some people who practice this method only need to maintain a minimum of respect for all creatures in the world, and can eat meat; some people who practice this method only need to not actively harm the creatures and animals they have made friends with, and others can still hunt, fish, kill chickens and stew ducks." The fourth brother paused, "The latter two are the most common." "Is this so..." "Of course, there are also people who are born bad. Theoretically, such people can harm these creatures at will even if they practice this method." The fourth brother said, "But all creatures have spirits and can distinguish between good and evil. Such people are stuck at the step of making friends with them and at the step of having a pure and kind heart, and can't even enter." "understood." Lin Jue looked at his fourth senior brother: "So, senior brother, which one do you think I am?" "The third and fourth." "That's it..." "When you first learn this magic, even if you haven't mastered it yet, you can make the wild beasts in the mountains stop wanting to hunt you. If you can understand the intentions of the birds and beasts in the mountains, you have mastered it. If you learn more, you can cast a spell to summon strange birds and beasts from a strange place. This is called 'gathering and tuning'. If you are sincere, you can make them help you." "take note of it." "I will teach you the 'skill' first. You can practice with Fuyao. It has been brought up by you since it was little, and you have a good relationship with it. You are familiar with each other, so it is the most suitable object." The fourth senior brother explained it to him in detail. At some point, Junior Sister Haojuan, who was supposed to be practicing the fossil method with great concentration, also moved a cushion and sat over, listening attentively. It's just that her talent is in the five elements, and this kind of magic is more about the mysterious yin and yang, so she found it a bit difficult to understand. As she listened, she couldn't help scratching her head. Seeing that her senior brother was listening very attentively and seemed to understand very well, her expression became even more serious. Fortunately, she turned her head and looked at the fox behind her, which gave her a lot of comfort. I simply got up and started practicing the fossil method. I do not know how long it has been. "Junior brother, you are learning the fourth brother's method of gathering beasts and taming birds again. I think we should discuss it and you should be the eldest brother." The voice of the third senior brother came from the side. "Brother, you see, a man like this will never be able to learn this magic." The fourth brother sat cross-legged, holding the bamboo flute he had already made, and said with a smile, "Even the dumbest animal in the mountains would feel disgusted when seeing him like this, and would never make friends with him, let alone listen to him." "exactly." Lin Jue agreed and turned around. Several senior brothers came out. "Let's stop here today, Fourth Brother. It just so happens that we went to the Mingzhu Mountain Grand Ceremony and learned a new forbidden spell. You can also learn it." Lin Jue knew that his senior brothers all majored in one spell. Some would learn other spells, like calling the wind, and some would learn spells related to their major spell, such as the fire spell and taking medicine learned by the second senior brother. Some only learned the spell of incantation, because the spell of incantation was really simple.
Some of the brothers themselves did not have much desire to fight, such as the second and fifth brothers, they focused on studying alchemy and medicine, and devoted almost all their attention to them. Second Senior Brother was better. He needed to use fire magic to make elixirs, and he was very proficient in it, far better than Lin Jue. He also spent a long time in the mountains practicing. If he encountered bad guys or monsters, he would not need any swordsmanship or spells. He could burn the whole boat with a palm of fire, and the monsters in the temple would naturally not be able to withstand the burn. The fifth brother's fighting ability is the weakest. However, practicing Taoism and magic are not just about fighting, and those who practice Taoism are not judged by fighting alone. Even among the gods in heaven, there are many who do not practice fighting. Whether a person or a god is worthy of respect is not determined solely by his or her martial arts skills. It would be more accurate to use the word fear instead. Especially after knowing the fate of the disciples of Fuqiu Temple after they left the mountain, Lin Jue almost understood - If the fifth senior brother came down from the mountain, he would probably choose a Taoist temple closer to the city or even in a big city to live and practice. He would become a Taoist doctor famous far and wide, admired by people and even written into books. Perhaps many people would respect him as a famous teacher and a true Taoist. With good luck, his legend might also spread in the world. If he is willing, perhaps the emperor and generals will respect him. Even if the world changes, no matter who is in charge, they will treat him with courtesy. His value is not achieved through force. In addition, people have different preferences and talents, so not every spell may be suitable for them, so naturally they will not learn too many things. But after all, the world is going to be in chaos. Spells like the forbidden spell can be learned in one day, are simple and easy to use, so what reason is there to refuse? It does have its shortcomings though. In addition to being harmless to humans, its power limit is not high. The spell-forbidden method uses spells to control spirits. Ordinary folk masters and quacks who only learn the method of nourishing qi can also use it. The power of practitioners with Taoism is naturally greater, but no matter how powerful it is, it cannot be used to deal with big monsters and ghosts, or even monster kings and ghost kings. But then again, if you can fight big monsters and ghosts, monster kings and ghost kings, you will no longer need this spell-forbidden method. So today, the junior fellow will also act as the senior fellow. Senior Brother Ye Chuan has the sword spell. After teaching this magic, the mountain god happened to send a message, asking the Taoists of Fuqiu Temple to report the important events down the mountain the next morning. (End of this chapter)
