Chapter 95: A Rich Harvest (asking for monthly tickets) "Little Taoist Master..." The old man just looked at him in confusion. The idea of a magician not to offend the audience has been with him throughout his life and is deeply rooted in his bones. "My dear father-in-law, you tend to forget things easily." Lin Jue was still very polite and explained, "Last year on February 2, at the Luoxian Temple Fair in Huizhou, I saw you perform tricks at the temple fair. I was deeply impressed." "This……" The old man pointed at him. "At that time, you played two roles, and when you spit fire, you even burned my hair." Lin Jue continued, "When the meeting was over in the afternoon, I saw a few of you taking a break and eating in the alley. My cousin and I passed by and talked to my father-in-law and the others. Those words are still fresh in my memory." When the junior sister heard the first half of the sentence, she thought that this person was the one who burned her senior brother. Her senior brother just stood there for so long and watched because he was holding a grudge and hesitating, and now he came to take revenge. I was thinking to myself, when did my senior brother become so petty and vindictive, and I became tense. Even took a deep breath quietly.
Only after hearing the second half of the sentence did I change my mind. The old man gradually remembered, pointed at Lin Jue, his eyes widened, and looked him up and down. “It’s you… "But I remember that the audience was very refined and elegant, like a scholar. Why is he wearing a yin-yang robe now?" The old man turned around and looked at the others. The others also seemed to gradually remember. "He has converted to Taoism and is now practicing under the guidance of a disciple at Fuqiu Temple in Yishan." Lin Jue said. "Then the old man should be called..." "You can call it whatever you want. Taoists are free by nature and are not bound by this." "hiss……" The old man heard Lin Jue talking, and gradually overlapped his figure with the figure of the country boy a year and a half ago, but found that the difference was too great to overlap, so he could only say: "The Taoist priest came here this time..." "Let's catch up on the past." Lin Jue said, "At the same time, let's replenish my father-in-law's Qi-nourishing Method and Fire-repelling Technique." The group of magicians didn't think much of what they heard at the beginning, but when they heard the second sentence, their eyes widened instantly and they almost stood up. His expression was somewhat unbelievable. After a while—— The Taoist priest was sitting on the box of a street magician. There were people coming down the mountain on the road beside him. The Taoist priest calmly spoke to them: "The Qi-nourishing method is divided into breathing and guiding. Most of the strange people in the world only know half of it. Those who know breathing can do some external techniques, and those who know guiding can do some internal skills. I should only know breathing. But there are similarities between the two. I have practiced breathing for decades, so it is not difficult for me to learn the tricks of guiding. “There are three levels of fire-aversion techniques. "In addition to fire balls and gunpowder, breathing in and exhaling fire, there is another level. It does not require the absorption of fire energy, but generates fire energy by itself. This level requires the spiritual energy to be guided into the five internal organs and form fire in the heart, so there is a guiding method. "My father-in-law has practiced the art of fire-repelling for half his life. If there is a guiding method, he should be able to master this superior art of fire-repelling in no time."
Everyone was concentrating intently, not daring to miss a single word. It was getting darker. Torches were lit again on the mountain road, flowing downwards and forming a stream. The skylight faded, the moon rose, and the third brother appeared behind him again, standing for a long time before leaving. Only the young Taoist continued to tell the story. It was Mid-Autumn Festival, and the moon was like a jade plate. At first, there was some noise on the mountain, followed by the sound of Taoist scriptures and music, and later, there was only the rustling of bamboo in the night wind and the occasional chirping of birds. At first, the girl listened carefully, then walked around them with the fox, patting its rumbling belly, and then she sat aside to take a nap, and the fox also fell asleep at her feet. The mountain had already become calm, the moonlight was like snow, and the full moon hung among the shadows of the bamboo forest. All the magicians listened attentively and forgot about time. "This is all I know." The Taoist finally finished speaking, and stood up and said, "If there are any parts that are not clear, it is not for other reasons, but because of my limited knowledge. I don't expect you to immediately understand the essence of magic after listening to it. I just hope that I will not mislead you." "How dare you... "Thank you, Taoist..." The old man stood up in fear and bowed deeply to him. Many magicians followed suit and bowed to express their gratitude. Before they could straighten up from their bowed bodies, they found that the Taoist had already returned the greeting, bowing even lower than them. "Master, this..." "It's late at night, but the moonlight is bright. We can walk a distance in the dark." Lin Jue stood up and said, "The mountains are high and the waters are long. We will say goodbye now." "How can we repay the Taoist master for teaching us the Dharma?" Under the moonlight, many pairs of eyes were staring at Lin Jue, all flickering and uneasy. "My father-in-law has already given me the reward." Lin Jue said casually, waved his sleeves, stood up and left. The fox quickly caught up with him, ran two steps, turned back, and bit the sleeve to wake up the dozing girl. The moonlight was bright, and the mountains and forests were in shadow. Even the eaves and roofs of the palaces and pavilions above could be seen clearly. The two men and the fox walked through the path between the bamboo forests and soon walked away. …… They returned to the bamboo house and went to sleep. Lin Jue had already laid down on the bed. His third senior brother was sleeping quietly beside him without any sound, but he kept his eyes open and couldn't fall asleep. I have some thoughts in my mind. I simply stood up, sat cross-legged, closed my eyes and meditated. Before I knew it, it was daybreak. The sound of a bell came from the Yanxia Temple above, followed by the faint sound of chanting and Taoist music.
The three Taoists all got up. The Taoist priest from Yanxia Temple also brought them breakfast. "This Taoist temple is bigger, so it's different. So many people chant scriptures every day, and some people play music." The third brother shook his head, "But if it were in our Taoist temple, no one would be able to get up." "I really want to eat noodles..." "Junior sister, come with me." Lin Jue seemed to have made a decision. After he finished speaking, he put the bowl down and walked out with his sword in hand. "Oh……" The junior sister didn't know why, but she hurriedly followed him, going out and walking around. We walked along the path, climbed to a high place to look, and looked in the open space between the pavilions. It was not until noon that we finally found the strong man in linen clothes who was practicing the "Mountain God Body Protection Method". "Mr. Shao, we meet again." "Two Taoist priests, what do you want from me?" The sturdy man in hemp clothes was just finding a place in the bamboo forest to take a nap. Seeing this, he looked at them in confusion. "Nothing else." Lin Jue didn't waste any words and said directly: "Mr. Shao has achieved great success in the 'Mountain God Body Protection Method', but his disadvantage is that he is not good enough in Taoism. Although Mr. Shao practices the Qi-cultivation method, he only practices guiding Qi without breathing. He can only cultivate Qi within his own body, but cannot draw Qi from heaven and earth. Therefore, I am willing to complete Mr. Shao's Qi-cultivation method and add a fire-repelling method that can spit fire, in exchange for Mr. Shao teaching the 'Mountain God Body Protection Method' to the two of us." This time, we are not relying on ancient books, but on sincerity. Just like yesterday in the mountains with those magicians. Back then, the magician accidentally activated a page of the ancient book, and Lin Jue learned the art of fire-aversion. Although it was a magic inherent in the ancient book, it also had some connection with them. When he met it again, he naturally returned the favor. There is nothing else but sincerity. The sturdy man in sackcloth looked at him with flickering eyes. "What about the Qi-nourishing Method?" "Breathing and guiding are the methods of nourishing Qi. This is the way of cultivation for the ancient cultivators. Now that Shao Gong has the method of nourishing Qi, he can truly enter the door of cultivation. From now on, his cultivation will be improved and he will be worthy of Shao Gong's great magic skills." "What about fire-hating magic?" "Breathing flames from the mouth, cultivating to a high level, pushing fire with the palms." "This……" The sturdy man in hemp clothes pondered and asked again: "Although the grand ceremony has not yet begun, it will only last for nine days. How can I learn what you said?" Lin Jue knew it as soon as he heard it. He was moved, but he answered truthfully: "The Qi-nourishing method is not difficult. Shao Gong has already mastered half of it, so it is even simpler. The Fire-repelling method is not difficult either. I will do my best to explain it to Shao Gong. I will definitely write down the difficult parts on paper and hand them over to Shao Gong." "Even so, Shao's 'Mountain God Body Protection Method' is not simple. How can it be completed in more than ten days?"
"Just go ahead, Mr. Shao." "The Dajiao is full of mixed people, how can I trust you?" "Then let's look at Mr. Shao!" "Can you trust me?" "I believe it voluntarily." The sturdy man in hemp clothes looked at Lin Jue, and Lin Jue also looked at him. "it is good!" The sturdy man finally nodded. So from that day on, Lin Jue and his junior sister met him in the mountains every day and talked to each other about the principles of magic. This grand ceremony could be considered as another gain, and the days were fulfilling. However, the food on this mountain does not contain any meat and has too little oil. After eating it for a few days, it tasted very bland in my mouth. Two days later, the fasting and offering sacrifices began. Burn incense, open the altar, ask for water, and raise the banner; Every day the mountains were filled with green smoke and the roads were filled with pilgrims going up and down. The Taoists of the Lingfa Sect and the people of the martial arts world who came to join in the fun were in the minority. However, none of these affected Lin Jue and the other two. Lin Jue picked an opportunity, then an idea came to his mind, he took out the ancient book and opened it to take a look. "Wow..." As expected, there is a new page: Water control technique, the method of controlling water. The Five Elements magic is often the innate ability of water spirits and monsters. They can control the natural water of heaven and earth. Depending on the level of their attainments and the depth of their Taoism, they can create splashes, gather water columns, and stir up waves. The powerful ones can even block the river and change its course. Among people walking on land, there are very few who practice this method. "It must be the magic used by the water monster." This was also the first spell that Lin Jue encountered after he came down the mountain. It seemed that the water monster's attainments in this spell were also very shallow. "Wow..." The magic silver technique is a kind of illusion. Those who have achieved great accomplishments in turning all things in the world into silver can make the fake look real and remain unchanged for years. However, the practitioner must remember that the phantom silver is fake after all and should not be taken seriously. "Does 'can't take it seriously' mean that you can't treat it as real silver and spend it to deceive people? Or does it mean that you can't use it to make elixirs like real cinnabar, gold and silver?" Lin Jue thought so, but had no time to listen carefully. "Wow..."
Fossilization, the method of fossilization. The Five Elements magic is often a natural ability of mountain monsters, which can turn their bodies into hard stone and lie horizontally in the mountains. Beginners can transform part of their body into stone, and with further practice, they can transform their entire body into mountain stone, like a stone sculpture. When they have mastered the technique, they can transform themselves into a rock in the mountains, not limited by their own shape, and look real. The deeper one’s attainment in this Dharma, the more indestructible one will become after transforming into a mountain or rock. The powerful ones can transform themselves into mountains. "So it's called the fossil method..." Lin Jue recited in a voice that only he could hear. "Turning into a mountain..." There are many legends in mythology about gods transforming into mountains. I wonder how many of them are true or false, and how many of the true ones use this magic? Lin Jue didn't look at it carefully and just closed the ancient book. There is some satisfaction in my heart—— I came out to attend a Taoist meeting, and I'm only halfway through, but I've already learned so many spells. It seems that we really need to go down the mountain. After this Taoist meeting is over, I will return to Yishan and have more to learn. (End of this chapter)
