God and mystery

Chapter 233
In the temple, the statue of Zhenwu suddenly blazed brightly. This scene immediately frightened the pilgrims outside, but they were shocked at first, and then they were delighted.
Zhenwu Xiansheng!

The statue gave birth to bursts of vigor, and the people below saw this scene, and rushed forward in a hurry!

front row!

A noisy sound of prayers and prayers rang out here one after another!People scrambled to put the incense on the incense burner, pushing each other and crowding each other. Because they couldn't get a good seat, some people in the front even fought for the qualification to offer incense!
The incense in the temple is getting stronger and stronger.

It seems that even people's own anger is getting bigger and bigger, and this is not limited to the violent activities of the five internal organs.

Fire dominates the heart, people's hearts start to be impetuous, and it is also because of the rise of the surrounding fire qi, so the temper also begins to swell and cannot be contained, because fire in the five elements represents the growth of yang energy, and it has no limit of.

"I came first! Even if Master Zhenwu manifests his spirit, he must have fulfilled my wish first!"

"This kind of thing pays attention to sincerity and spirit. For a philistine like you, how can Lord Zhenwu realize your wish!"

People hugged each other while spitting, and even for incense, those who came from behind stepped on the backs or shoulders of the people in front while the people in front were prostrating and praying, and directly inserted the incense into the feet of Zhenwu statues. Or the crevices of dresses.

Master Zhenwu smokes this stick of mine, my stick of incense is strong!

"How dare you step on me! Do you know how much my clothes cost!"

Most of the people crowded in the front are rich and wealthy businessmen, with three or five servants, all of a sudden, they knocked the people behind to the ground with fists and kicks, and the people who were beaten were not to be outdone, and more and more A lot of people crowded over and fought each other, and this place suddenly became the scene of the world's number one martial arts competition!

"Don't hit it, don't hit it, the merit box has been overturned! Everyone has a share of incense, I will add money to the incense, now ten cents a stick of incense, if you don't have money, don't buy it and move a little later! Who hit me!"

Miao Zhu tried to stop the incense chaos by using skills to sell with money, but was punched by those who had no money, and his eyes turned black immediately.

Those who were not particularly rich were furious: "If you don't have money, you can't worship Zhenwu Lord? Are we worshiping God or you?"

Miao Zhu was not convinced, but the visitor was a guest, so he said kindly: "Well, I know there is a carpenter on the street, I will tell you his location, you go to him, let him carve a statue of Lord Zhenwu, You buy them one by one, go home and worship, there are too many people here."

But people don't like this: "The god statues in the temple have powerful spirits, even if Master Zhenwu is manifesting his holiness, he is also in this place. You want me to buy those small wooden carvings on the street?"

"Is this the one who can't afford the ten cents? I'm not happy with you for raising the price! I'll kill you profiteer!"

Miao Zhu was immediately beaten up by a group, and the whole temple was completely in chaos. The servants of several wealthy merchants fought with each other, and there were even people from the rivers and lakes passing by. martial arts.

The flow of people in Qiantang County is already huge, and the incense in various temples has always been very good, but today this small temple has a movement that has not been seen in other large temples. The old foreman was shocked when he saw that the temple wishes were thrown out :
"My dear! Fighting! What's going on?"

Miao Zhu: "Hurry up, report to the official! Just tell the county magistrate that Zhenwu has shown his holiness. If he wants everything to go well, he should hurry up and protect the statue, otherwise the statue will be smashed."

"More, more! Tell him that ten of my ribs have been broken, and this matter can't be solved without 100 taels of silver. Just tell him like this, and he will understand."

This matter cannot be resolved without 100 taels of silver. After the matter is completed, we will split the bill.

The old foreman asked, "A total of 100 taels will be paid to you?"

Miao Zhu scolded: "Fart! Everyone here, one counts as one, and each person will give me 100 taels!"

The old foreman nodded again and again, saying that when I was young, I was a scud from all over the world, just wait, and ran away as soon as I finished speaking.

Miao Zhu yelled at the people in the temple:
"You bastards dare to hit me! I am the temple wisher here! When the main god in the temple appears, I will shoot an arrow in the back of each of you, and you will all die!"

"It's his mother! Lose money!"

Yang Qi in the state of growth is called "wood", in the state of growth it is called "fire", in the state of collection it is "metal", in the state of storage it is "water", and the transformation process of growth and storage is called It is "transformation", that is, "soil".

Ji Xiang locked all the power at the time of the breakthrough in his body. At this time, his mind was highly concentrated, and he didn't know what happened outside the statue.

But even so, using the divine fire to refine the glory of the human body, the fire energy diffused still affects the outside world.

The three flowers and five qi of the human body are the embodiment of the glory of the body, so when the three flowers gather at the top of the five qi, jade liquid can be produced. Wood, water, fire, and earth, the qi of the five elements gather, and return to the original and the original.

If it is said that the fourth realm of fetal breath is the threshold for a mortal to transform into a monk, then the golden core realm is the first step for a monk to step into a fairy.

The ancient "Zhong Lu Chuan Dao Ji" divided the immortals into five classes, with ghosts and immortals being the lowest and human immortals next.Taoism believes that heavenly immortals and ghost immortals come from two extreme realms, and neither is the ideal pursuit of immortality. Only the three ranks of immortals, immortals, and immortals are the goals that practitioners hope to achieve.

Therefore, Earth Immortals and the levels above them are considered to be real immortals.

Bearing the golden elixir is the threshold to enter the earth immortal. The so-called golden elixir road, with the golden elixir, one can get rid of the samsara of the five grains in the mortal world.

Earth Immortal is a title of a level, and the Golden Core Realm refers to a monk who has reached the tenth level of cultivation. Only at this level can he be regarded as a person among Earth Immortals.

"Golden Core Dao, the focus is on the way of "inverting and reversing the cultivation", that is, reversing the Houtian Kanli, and then turning it into the innate universe."

Ji Xiang muttered something in his mouth:

"Gold is Qi, and elixir is pure Yang. The body of pure Yang is refined from gold Qi, and then it directly points to the perfect way."

"If there is no golden elixir, no matter how powerful the mana is. Like that ghost fairy, although he has the strength comparable to Huang Tingjing, but it is a gift from outside, not cultivated by himself. If there is no golden elixir, but It looks like a tree, the heart is ashes, the spirit is guarded inside, and there is only one will."

At this time, Ji Xiang's spirit was completely integrated into the three flowers and five qi, which transformed into jade liquid, and the golden elixir was returned from the jade liquid.

Two streams of divine fire qi rushed out of his body until they reached the Baihui acupoint. Ji Xiang's body became scorching hot. He locked the breath and did not leak out. He had to endure more than twice the pain. After the pill is dissolved, the primordial spirit will be born.

"Five teeth heavenly book, turn!"

Ji Xiang runs the magical method in the Five Yatian Book to make the five elements in the body circulate normally. If there is something missing, he asks for it from the outside world. I don't know what's going on, but the five elements outside seem to be very strong?

"Although I don't know what's going on outside, it's a good thing that the energy of the five elements is strong. The glory turns into jade liquid, and the jade liquid returns golden elixir in the burning of the divine fire."

"By the way, there is Yanfu Tanjin!"

Ji Xiang's spiritual consciousness took the time to think of this matter. Yanfu sandalwood is of great use for shaping the golden body. At this time, he has transformed into the golden core and achieved the level of the earth immortal. Using Yanfu sandalwood, he can gather a huge amount of incense The wish and thoughts can be used for one's own use, and can bless the incorruptible nature. All the power of gold in the world will fall when it meets the golden body.

And the bigger advantage is that you can use more Ascension Realm Taoism. Thinking about it, after reaching the Earth Immortal level, it is no longer a problem to match the full strength of the Pure Yang Realm. There are back and forth.

As for under the pure sun, it is nothing!

The people in the temple were panting. They had been fighting for a while, and they overturned the incense burners in front of many gods. At this time, they all felt exhausted physically and mentally. Compared with usual, they seemed to be tired Not a lot.

"Patriarch, the people from the Li family are so good at fighting, they seem to be much stronger than usual."

The servant on one side was talking to his owner, while the servant on the opposite side said the same thing:

"How come this group of Zhou family members have become powerful?"

In the melee, it was inevitable to accidentally injure the dignitaries, and some women even lost their faces and fell to the ground amidst the pushing and shoving.

People feel that this statue seems to be coming to life soon!

In an instant, as if they were struck by lightning, they shivered a few times, and their irascible temper also subsided as the energy of the five elements in their bodies decreased.

Anger is also an emotion caused by excessive fire in the five elements.

For ordinary people, if one of the five elements is missing, they will add the character of that attribute to their name.

Seeing that the temple was in a mess, and Miao Zhu was already lying outside the temple gate, and his wallets disappeared, obviously being taken away by others. These wealthy businessmen who were dazzled by the incense before woke up like a dream, knowing that they caused a catastrophe,

"Why did they suddenly fight each other, isn't it just Shangxiang!"

"Go, go!"

The rich merchants were going to use their legs to escape, but the people from the government had already arrived. The magistrate of Qiantang personally led the team to trot all the way here, definitely not for the 100 taels of silver per person, but for the justice of the abbot!

"I heard that someone is making trouble here. Why is Miao Zhu lying on the ground! Quick, save him!"

The county magistrate of Qiantang was very well prepared. The arresters of the yamen, the guards, brought bamboo poles, forks, and even something like a stretcher, and a monk in white from Lingyin Temple. A few doctors, just to collect money when they come here to save people.
Pooh!It is for the justice of the abbot, this is called feudalism rescue!

"I want to see who is causing trouble here! Ah, aren't these big merchants from the Li family, the Zhou family, and the Chen family?"

The county magistrate of Qiantang looked at the leading few wealthy merchants and recognized at a glance which family they belonged to.

There are crowds of merchants in the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, like grasshoppers everywhere after autumn. This is true. The merchants of the Ming Dynasty even had a professional "merchant gang", which is simply the "merchant guild" .

The merchant gang is very powerful, and they have their shadows in various places in the south, and many merchants have been protected by them after joining the merchant gang, mainly including Huizhou merchants, Shanxi merchants, Longyou merchant gang, Dongting merchant gang, etc. If Born in the land of Zhejiang, it is naturally protected by the Longyou Merchant Gang.

Several wealthy merchants had smiling faces, seeing that they couldn't escape this matter, they hurriedly pleaded with the county magistrate.

The county magistrate looked at Miao Zhu's half-dead look, and immediately reprimanded them: "Don't just rely on how much money you have, you can do whatever you want here! The last incense can almost kill people, and it also caused money damage. You Do you know what temple this is?"

"Know, know!"

The wealthy businessmen all nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

The county magistrate of Qiantang scolded: "You know how to act wild here! There is a god standing three feet above your head, not to mention that the god in the temple is responding to the world, and his temper is even more weird, but she is the daughter of a famous general in the former dynasty. Keeping the festival, if you make a fuss here, isn't it slapping the face of loyalty!"

"That's slapping me in the face!"

"If you slap me in the face, you slap the Ming court in the face!"

The rich merchants didn't understand how the county magistrate abducted the face of the court, but they still had to show weakness at this time. Although there were merchant gangs behind them, this matter did start with them.

The rich are great, but the powerful are even more so.

"So, each of you is responsible for this matter! Look at how this temple has been destroyed by you!"

"How about this, each of you pay 1000 taels to renovate this temple, and hand over the money to the official."

The rich merchants smiled flatteringly: "A family of 1000 taels, not too much, not too much, what should be paid should be paid."

Qiantang County Magistrate: "Huh? A family of 1000 taels? Are you dreaming?"

He snapped his fingers: "The people who participated in the fight are all your servants, right? Your servants also have to pay 1000 taels, 1000 taels per person. They can't afford it, so you pay for it yourself, and see how much you can afford. "

The rich merchants almost vomited blood!

When Miao Zhu heard this, he almost performed a medical miracle on the spot.

It's too ruthless, as expected of a parent officer. The so-called parent officer means that your income will be confiscated just like your parents.

I just asked for 100 taels, but I didn't expect the county magistrate to have a big situation.

"My lord, you are extorting, we can go to the Longyou Merchant Gang to fight against you!"

The merchants were naturally unconvinced, but the magistrate of Qiantang sneered.

Let the government go to the business gang to fight?

Are you out of your minds? The merchant gang is indeed very powerful, and there are even rumors that they have monks, but those monks dare to provoke the Ming court?

Who in the hall will sue the official?

But at this moment, the monk in white beside the magistrate of Qiantang made a movement. He walked up to the statue of Zhenwu with serious eyes.

He said to Qiantang County Magistrate: "Amitabha, my lord should let these people leave this temple first. There are some problems here."

After finishing speaking, his fingers flashed with golden brilliance, he jumped onto the altar lightly, and pressed his palm on the forehead of the statue of Zhenwu.
