Cultivate Taoism and farm to make peace in the world

Chapter 197: All the cultivators defeat evil spirits, Jiang Xuan adds to the realm

On the bamboo mountain, Jiang Xuanshen realized the Tao.

In Sixi County, as notices were posted one after another, various forces also started to move.

In the Qinyuan, next to the lotus pond, Lan Jun raised his hand and pressed the strings lightly. After the sound of the piano faded away, he looked at his old friends.

"Why are you free to come to me today?"

The dean of the academy, Wang Xun, was silent and just raised his hand, and then an illusory notice appeared in front of everyone.

----

【Notice】

Today, a Taoist priest sent by Shenxiao is deployed in Sixi County to eliminate evil spirits and adjust the wind and rain so that the people in the county can live and work in peace and contentment.

However, the hearts of evil spirits and ghosts outside the county to harm our people are still alive, and the evil spirits of the four and five realms command thousands of ghosts in the depths of Cangwu Mountain and stare at the people in the county.

Therefore, capable people and strangers were recruited, and after seven days, they went into the mountains to fight against evil spirits.

On February 578, 2 in the Ming Dynasty.

----

After glancing at the notice Wang Xun clicked, and then at the seal on the date, Lan Jun couldn't help but smile:

"If I'm not mistaken, this notice should be written by Jiang Wen, the county magistrate, right?"

The county magistrate of Sixi County is Fangyuan.

But Fangyuan knew the fun and knew that Jiang Xuan wanted to train Jiang Wen, so he didn't appear in front of people much after the dragon passed away.

So no matter for monks or ordinary people, Jiang Wen who was placed on the stage was more like a county magistrate.

Therefore, although Jiang Wen does not have the post of county magistrate, he has the title of acting county magistrate.

Hearing what Lan Jun said, Wang Xun nodded, "It's from Jiang Wen's book."

"Brother Lan thinks Jiang Wen, or that guy on Zhushan is planning something."

"What else can I think?"

Before Lan Jun could speak, Tang Yin said first:

"It should be paving the way for his brother?"

Having said that, he couldn't help but smack his mouth again:
"The eldest is rare in Taoism, and the second child enters the third realm after two years of entering Wen Dao. Although the third is only in the second realm, he is suppressing his cultivation and laying the foundation."

"Three monsters in one family, Jiang Yansong's ability to give birth to a son is really outrageous."

Seeing Tang Yin began to speak indiscriminately, Lu Wanjiang, who was sitting not far from him, couldn't help shaking his head:
"Brother Tang, you must know that sickness comes from the mouth and misfortune comes from the mouth. Some things need to be cautious."

"Jiang Daochang can use the power of the formation to suppress Jiuyuan, and even give him time, he can probably kill the ghost god Yanbo."

"At that time, he was relying on the formations that he set up casually on Jiuyuan."

"With the strength of the leylines in Sixi County, Yunmengze, and Cangwu Mountains, how much do you think he can do?"

Tang Yin sighed when he heard the words, as if he lost all energy all of a sudden.

"Thinking back in those days, he was only at the Xiantian Realm."

"But now, it is necessary to treat him as a six-level monk."

"Things in the world are really unpredictable."

Having said that, a look of despair appeared on his face again, "I regret not listening to Brother Lu's words."

Seeing Tang Yin's disappointed expression, Lu Wanjiang and the three of them looked at each other and shook their heads, then they turned their gazes to the notice that hadn't dissipated.

"What do you think, brother Lan Jun, about this notice?"

Lan Jun pondered for a while when he heard the words, and then said:

"My thoughts are the same as what Brother Tang said. It should be the one on Zhushan who is going to pave the way for his brother."

"I think everyone knows the temperament of disciple Shenxiao."

"Although doing things depends on one's preferences, it is also worthy of the common people."

"In addition, if the world is peaceful and the ghosts disappear, I think they would rather sit on the mountain and enlighten the Tao."

"Shenxiao faction has the heart to calm the troubled times, but after the troubled times are settled, they will always govern."

"So after going back and forth, the one on Zhushan is probably going to help his younger brother to the front of the stage."

"I just don't know what step Jiang Wen can make."

After Lan Jun finished speaking, Wang Xun frowned in doubt:
"I just don't know why the true kings of the Shenxiao faction are willing to watch him mess around."

When Lu Wanjiang heard this, he smiled and shook his head:

"Jiang Wen Ruxiu's talent is not bad. After a year, it can be seen that he also has abilities, so it can't be called fooling around."

"Besides, no one knows how far that person on Zhushan can do if he doesn't die."

"In addition, Jiang Wen can also be regarded as the representative of Tiandi Academy."

"So, I think it's normal for the true emperor of the Shenxiao sect to let him do whatever he wants."

Having said this, Tang Yin finally regained his energy.

"In that case, what should we do?"

"What else can I do? Since that guy wants to help his younger brother, we will naturally help him."

After replying to Tang Yin, Lu Wanjiang looked at the other two:

"The strength of the one on Zhushan can be said to have reached the supernatural power level, and there is a sixth-level craftsman under his command. Now that the fifth-level monks lean on him, they should not be so popular."

"So why don't Brother Wang and Brother Lan follow Jiang Wen's route?"

"That's all."

Masonry Workshop, in the gazebo in the backyard.

Li Tong sat on a stone bench holding green tea in his hands, beside him were three craftsmen including Lu Xun, Ou Qian, and Tao Zhi, standing with their hands down, as if waiting for orders.

After a while, Li Tong suddenly put down the teacup in his hand, got up and looked at the three of Lu Xun.

"Have you thought about it?"

The three of Lu Xun nodded in unison, "Thought it out."

After replying, Lu Xun spoke again:

"Master Li, we are more willing to vote for the secular imperial power than to vote for the Shenxiao faction."

"The Daoist sect likes to cultivate, especially the Taoist monks of the Shenxiao sect."

"They are either destroying demons or cultivating purely. They are strong but they are not the same as ours."

"A craftsman, in the final analysis, is still a job of earning a living, and is more closely connected with the world."

"For example, the Shijiangmen is now brilliant. Although the Shenxiao faction nods, it cannot do without the strong support of the Yamen."

"But now the acting county magistrate is Daoist Jiang's younger brother, and Li Shiyou, you are also close to the Taoist priest, so as long as we can do things, it doesn't matter whether we vote for the Taoist priest or not."

Li Tong nodded upon hearing this:

"It's good to be able to figure this out."

"The Daoist is pragmatic. As long as you do things in a down-to-earth manner, the benefits of my artisanship will definitely be indispensable in the future."

Time is like water, seven days in a blink of an eye.

Seven days later, the gates of the barracks in the city suddenly opened wide.

Then a cavalryman rushed out of the camp gate with a large Yang character banner on his shoulders, and then the cavalrymen, wearing heavy armor and carrying long bows on their shoulders, rode a dragon colt and a wolf watching the eagle, and galloped all the way towards the Cangwu Mountains.

As the army galloped, the evil spirit condensed, manifesting a hooked army.

As the army went out of the city, Taoist priests rose up from the Taoist temples inside and outside the city, scholars from the academy of arts walked together, and strong men from the academy of martial arts came out on horseback.

There is time passing in the air above the four courtyards of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and there is also a stone town revived in the masonry workshop outside the city, stepping on the county road for ten meters, and closely following the army.

Along the way, another strong man melted into the team with soaring spirit and blood.

It was a long time after the army and monks left that the quiet Sixi County regained some vitality.

A child stood on the city wall, watching the smoke and dust rise and dissipate, he couldn't help asking:

"Father, what are they going to do, uncle?"

"Your uncle and the others went to eradicate the evil spirits."

The child nodded when he heard the words, "Is it the evil spirit that killed the mother and the aunt? Did the uncle go to avenge the mother and the aunt?"

The strong man holding the child's eyes turned red all of a sudden.

"It's the evil spirit that killed your mother and aunt."

"Then I will be a soldier in the future, and I will avenge my mother and aunt!"

"Okay, but the matter of revenge will be discussed after you grow up. You must learn to read well now."

"I know, I have worked hard to learn to read."

County government office.

Jiang Wen, who had just approved the last official document, felt the surging atmosphere inside and outside Sixi County, and couldn't help letting out a hard breath.

"What are you breathing out?"

It's just that before he finished his breath, Dan Qiusheng, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but speak:

"Every major event needs to be calm and alert."

"Now the matter of hunting monsters has just begun, and it's not time to relax yet."

Hearing this, Jiang Wen immediately straightened up, "I'll save myself, my disciple."

After the words fell, he was a little uneasy and said:

"But Master, don't I really need to follow the past to see?"

Hearing this, Dan Qiusheng was a little disappointed and said:
"Have you ever seen that county magistrate personally participate in the crusade against evil spirits?"

"To be an official, you must have the awareness of being an official. You are not a general. What you have to do is to be safe and stable in the rear."

"Since it was agreed last night to kill the demons, let them do whatever they want."

"More than a dozen five-level monks have defeated five five-level evil spirits. Is there any reason to lose?"

"I know, this is the first time such a big battle has taken place, so I'm still a little nervous."

"Big? There will be a lot of big battles in the future, so get used to it."

On the Bamboo Mountain.

As the army marched out and the monks walked together, Jiang Xuan woke up immediately.

"Has it started?"

Although Jiang Xuan didn't pay attention to small things, he could feel the evil spirit of the army array rising to the sky immediately after many monks went out.

"one two three four"

"Tsk, not bad, except for Dan Qiusheng from the Academy of Arts, all the monks of the five realms are moving."

"In addition, the Academy of Arts actually sent two five-level monks to help out?"

"Hey, there are still six realms of holy realm hidden in the sky?"

"Heaven and Earth Academy has entered the game?"

"Looking" at the grand scene, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but shook his head.

There is no doubt that those evil spirits gathered in the Cangwu Mountains are gone.

Not to mention other things, just those four-level and five-level monks can take them away, not to mention that there are thousands of third-level monks who check and fill in the gaps, and the six-level cultural repair will act as a backup.

The deployment of the whole army this time is more like a running-in between various forces in Sixi County.

"I don't know what kind of grinding it can be."

The thought flashed in his mind, and Jiang Xuan turned his attention back to himself.

The crusade against evil spirits is basically a question, and he doesn't bother to pay attention now.

As for the seven days of turmoil in Sixi County, he had comprehended "Liujia Qimen" and studied "Four Elephants Constellation Formation".

But in the end, Jiang Xuan turned his attention to the exercises.

The practice of entering the Tao.

Daomen's exercises are still too difficult.

Even if it is the "Purple Qi Heart Sutra", which is the easiest to practice, the number of people who can get started is only Bai Yi.

This probability is indeed too low.

Since it is necessary for all the people to practice Taoism, it is embarrassing to say that all people practice Taoism unless the popularity rate of practitioners is increased to [-]%.

As for the remaining [-]%, there may indeed be those who are not qualified to practice Taoism, but there may also be those who don't like Taoism and prefer to practice other extraordinary paths.

So Jiang Xuan set the goal at [-]%.

And these seven days, he was working hard towards this goal.

The effect is actually pretty good.

"Once upon a time, if a mortal wanted to enter the Tao, he needed to condense a ray of true energy, and this ray of true energy was naturally generated after comprehending various scriptures and scriptures."

"But now I have broken this one step into two steps."

"The first step, "Breathing Method"."

"Between the heaven and the earth, there are all kinds of spiritual energy. When ordinary people breathe, in addition to inhaling and exhaling the necessary oxygen, they are also swallowing and exhaling the spiritual energy in the air."

"It's just that ordinary people have no way to use and refine spirit energy, they can only let it scatter from their bodies."

""Breathing Method", you can use breathing to adjust your own blood circulation, and then let the blood actively digest the spirit energy."

"When enough spiritual energy is accumulated in the body, the spiritual energy can be controlled to open up the sea of ​​​​qi in the dantian."

Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan took out a jade slip from the pile of jade slips on the table and put it on the other side.

What is recorded in this jade slip is the "Breathing Method".

"After refining the aura, it is to give attributes to the aura."

"Today's monks, after reading the classics thoroughly to generate true qi, the true qi will naturally contain various attributes."

"For example, the "Tai Chi Heart Sutra" can observe Yin and Yang, and the "Zixia Heart Sutra" can prolong life."

"But the true qi condensed through the "Breathing Method" has no aura, and needs to be bestowed by monks."

"In this step, you can disassemble various enlightenment techniques."

While laying out the jade slips, Jiang Xuan sorted them out in his heart:
"For example, "Tai Chi Heart Sutra", I dismantled it into "Jiamu Jue", "Yimu Jue", "Binghuo Jue", "Dinghuo Jue" and other ten exercises."

"If Jia wood and Yi wood are combined, then it will advance to "Qinglong Kung Fu", and if Bing Huo and Ding Huo are combined, it will become "Suzaku Kung Fu."

"The combination of the ten tactics is the "Tai Chi Heart Sutra."

"After splitting the exercises, as long as you operate according to the exercises, even if you don't understand the scriptures, you can still add attributes to your true energy."

"When the true qi is complete, it will naturally turn from the acquired to the innate."

"It's just that if you don't read the Taoism thoroughly, it seems that there will be a so-called bottleneck?"

"It's not a big problem. It takes a lot of time for ordinary people to break through from the first realm to the second realm. I just accelerated the process from ordinary people to monks, so that monks have more time to accumulate."

"During the accumulation period, you can definitely read the classics."

Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but smile.

"Creating this "Breathing Method" is equivalent to adding a realm before entering the Taoist realm. Am I making the monks of the sixth realm break through to the seventh realm?"

After entertaining himself for a while, Jiang Xuan stretched out his hand.

The next moment, a leaf fell into his palm, was crushed into powder by him, and then put into a bowl of clear water.

Looking at the water that was still extremely clear after adding the powder, Jiang Xuan restrained his breath and put his fingers in it.

The next moment, the clear water in the bowl presents scenes such as Taolian blooming, sacred beasts singing, yin and yang rotating, and the five elements rising together.

But these scenes only appeared for a short moment.

After a moment, all kinds of scenes in the water disappeared, even the clear water suddenly disappeared.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Xuan couldn't help shaking his head.

The leaves he picked off just now are the leaves of the Wenling tree.

As for the Wenling tree, he asked his teacher for it these two days.

Ordinary people only know that the leaves of the Wenling tree will change color according to the change of the aura attribute, but Jiang Xuan, who counted the Wenling tree through "Number of Stars", also knows that after the leaves of the Wenling tree are ground into powder, there are people who test the five elements of the human body. effect.

"My body has been transformed by the "Wutai Heart Sutra" and the innate Taiyi Qi. I don't know what kind of physique it has become. It is impossible to measure my physique with the leaves of the Wenling tree."

Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan turned his attention to Jiang Yao who came to Zhushan on the jade chi.

"Cauldron, look at what I brought you here."

Seeing the innocent Winged Fire Snake on Jiang Yao's hand, Jiang Xuan really didn't know what to say.

"Why were you caught by my sister again?"

As soon as Jiang Xuan finished speaking, Lian Shanxue rode a big white bull to Jiang Xuan's side.

"Brother Jiang, don't blame Little Fire Snake."

"This time, Jiang Yao threatened the little fire snake and said that if she doesn't let her catch it, she will tell you that it bullies her and asks you to skin the little fire snake."

"Sister Xue, you said it was better not to say it."

"I didn't promise you."

Seeing Jiang Yao pouted, Jiang Xuan reluctantly hugged her, then patted her on the head:

"With your temperament, I will soon become a demon king in the world."

He casually took the Winged Fire Snake from Jiang Yao's hand and threw it away. Jiang Xuan picked another leaf of Wenling tree and ground it into powder, put it in a bowl, and mixed it with some water.

Looking at the curious Jiang Yao in his arms, Jiang Xuan then grabbed her little hand and put it in the bowl.

The next moment, silt appeared at the bottom of the bowl, and a lotus flower grew out of the silt, and the lotus seeds in the lotus flower showed gold and red colors again.

"The five elements are complete, and the strength is good. It can be regarded as a good seedling for Taoism."

"Brother Jiang, are you testing Yao'er's five elements?"

Jiang Xuan nodded, then looked at Lian Shanxue:
"Do you want Xue'er to try it?"

"Okay, then I'll try."

After taking the big bowl that Jiang Xuan handed over, Lian Shanxue put his finger into it.

The next moment, a tree supporting the sky and the ground slowly grew in the bowl.

"Brother Jiang, what is my attribute?"

Looking at the scene in the bowl, Jiang Xuan said with a smile: "It still has all the five elements, but it belongs to the strong tree."

"If you, Xue'er, practice the wood attribute technique, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

Lian Shanxue showed a hint of arrogance upon hearing this:

"What I practice is indeed the "Cangmu Heart Sutra" of the wood attribute, and it's very fast to practice."

Speaking of which, she couldn't help sticking out her tongue again, "Of course, it's definitely not as good as Brother Jiang."

"I am now a congenital cultivator."

Seeing Lian Shanxue's delicate appearance, Jiang Xuan couldn't help rubbing her little head:
"You're only 17 years old, it's already amazing to have reached the second level."

Lian Shanxue blushed with embarrassment, her eyes fell on the vast number of jade slips on the table while her eyes were gurgling.

"Brother Jiang, what are these jade slips?"

"This is the exercise I simplified after simplifying the first level of cultivation."

"You can let the ascetics condense the true qi first, and then give the true qi attributes."

"Combined with the leaves of the Wenling tree, it can allow the ascetics to understand their own five elements, and they can also comprehend the classics corresponding to their own five elements while practicing, which should speed up the cultivation speed of ordinary ascetics a lot."

After listening to what Jiang Xuan said, stars appeared in Lian Shanxue's eyes:
"Brother Jiang, you are amazing."

"It's not that great. It can only be said that according to what was passed down by the predecessors, it's just one more step forward by combining the method of martial arts refining blood and soldiers cultivating evil spirits."

"The predecessors may not be able to do this, but because of the lack of spiritual energy in the world, they didn't do it."

"But brother Jiang, you not only simplified the cultivation, but also set up a large formation to increase the aura. You are better than the predecessors."

"The idea of ​​the formation was proposed by my teacher, and I can't take the credit alone."
