The heavens start with Buddhist disciples

Chapter 60 Five virtues are always
Three months later, Ji Ran finally met Donghuang Taiyi.Ji Ran saluted Donghuang Taiyi and said, "I have met senior Donghuang."

Through the mask, Donghuang Taiyi spoke in a calm and majestic voice: "It is said that the two fellow Taoists have a letter for me?"

Ji Ran took out the letter written by his master to Donghuang Taiyi from his arms and handed it to Dongjun who came over.

After reading the letter, Donghuang Taiyi said: "It is not difficult for you to learn the Three-Legged Golden Crow's Hun Xi Longyou, but this is the secret of my Yin Yang family. Even if you have the recommendation of Taoist friends Ming Lingzi and Bei Mingzi, you There is also a price to pay.”

Ji Ran asked: "I don't know what price the Eastern Emperor needs the younger generation to pay?"

Donghuang Taiyi said: "I heard that you are the prince of Qi, so do you know the biggest secret spread among the seven kingdoms?"

Ji Ran shook her head and asked, "I wonder what kind of secret can be called the biggest?"

Donghuang Taiyi narrated: "This is a secret that has been passed down for thousands of years. It was once controlled by the Zhou royal family. Now it is scattered into seven parts, seven stars, seven countries, and seven secrets. The combination is Canglong Qisu. "

Ji Ran asked again: "Don't you know that the seven countries mentioned by Senior Donghuang are the seven heroes today?"

Donghuang Taiyi said: "Yes, it is Qi, Chu, Qin, Yan, Zhao, Wei and Han. The seven kingdoms, and as the royal family of Qi, haven't you heard any news?"

Ji Ran shook his head and said: "I am a concubine, and according to the senior Donghuang, I think that the Qi country should be in the hands of the Queen Mother. If the Queen Mother doesn't have it, I'm afraid it was taken away by Lord Mengchang back then." .”

Donghuang Taiyi said: "Well, what you said makes sense. But you can't exchange the corresponding secrets of Qi with me, and I can't agree with you to learn Hunxi Longyou."

Ji Ran frowned and said: "I have three techniques, corresponding to fire, water, and wood. I will exchange with you the "Hundred Refining of Fine Gold" from the gold department, "Emperor Tianhou Earth" from the earth department, and the visualization of the three-legged golden crow. picture."

"Three for three, Senior Donghuang should know that the Taoist method of cultivation of Soul Xi Longyou exists, and all I need is the visualization diagram of the three-legged golden crow. I wonder what Senior Donghuang thinks?"

Dong Huangtai said: "No matter how powerful your three spells are, my Yin Yang family does not need your exchange, so you are asking me for it. If you want to exchange, unless you have clues or corresponding information about Canglong Qisu secret."

Ji Ran heard Donghuang Taiyi's words and silently pondered in his heart: "It can be seen from Donghuang Taiyi's attitude that he does not value the so-called skills. The only thing he values ​​​​is the secret of Canglong Qisu. He is I want to represent Taoism and help him crack the secret together."

"Otherwise, as a person who has just heard the secret of Canglong Qisu, where can I get any clues or information? The only people I can exchange are myself and the Taoists behind me. With my master's protective character, as long as I take action, my master will not sit idly by. reason."

Ji Ran asked again: "Is it okay to have clues about Canglong Qisu? Don't we need to confirm whether the clues are true or false?"

Donghuang Taiyi said: "The Yin Yang family naturally has a way to verify the authenticity, so as long as you can provide clues, I will agree to your exchange request. If you can provide two clues, I can even exchange more techniques for you."

Ji Ran said: "Senior Donghuang, please let me go back and think about it."

Donghuang Taiyi said: "You can come to see me again in three days. At that time, I hope to hear an answer that satisfies both parties."

After returning to his residence, Ji Ran began to recall the information about Canglong Qisu that he had learned when Lan Xing was there. "First there are seven boxes, and secondly it seems to be the jade pendant of the protagonist Tianming. It seems that Tian Yan's mother also had a jade pendant. The destruction of Huoyu Villa five years ago also seems to be related to Canglong Qisu."

Three days later, Ji Ran met Donghuang Taiyi again.

Donghuang Taiyi asked: "Have you thought about it?"

Ji Ran nodded and said: "I have two definite clues and two uncertain clues here, a total of four clues about Canglong Qisu. I don't know how the senior Donghuang plans to exchange with the junior."

Donghuang Taiyi's face hidden in the mask was also a little surprised: "A person who has never heard of the secret of Canglong Qisu actually got four clues in three days, and he has not left Jieshi Palace in these three days. Does he have any secrets?"

Donghuang Taiyi said: "Two uncertain clues can be exchanged for a Five Elements Technique, and two certain clues can be exchanged for the complete version of Hunxi Longyou."

Ji Ran smiled and said: "Senior Donghuang, why don't you be more generous? Two certain clues are exchanged for Soul Xi Longyou and Astrology Law, and two uncertain clues are exchanged for Jinbu's "Hundred Refining of Fine Gold" mentioned by the junior three days ago. ", Dobe's "Emperor and Empress Soil"."

Donghuang Taiyi asked again: "Aren't you going to change the three spells you mentioned before?"

Ji Ran said: "I plan to use those three techniques in exchange for the Water Department's "The Supreme Good Like Water", the Wood Department's "Ten Thousand Leaves Flying Flowers" and the "Sleeping Curse Seal".

Donghuang Taiyi smiled, and laughed out loud.It took a while for the laughter to stop.He said: "You are the boldest and greediest young man I have seen in the past 40 years. I agree to your request, but you must swear that Onmyoji will not be passed on to anyone else."

Ji Ran raised the three branches of his left hand and swore to the sky: "The way of heaven is above, and Tian Qian swears here. Tian Qian will never pass on the yin and yang skills he has learned today to others in his life. Those who violate it will be burned to death."

Donghuang Taiyi said: "Tell me your clues!"

Ji Ran said: "I once read some ancient books in the library of Jixia Academy. I didn't know what some of the records were about at the time, but after Senior Donghuang explained Canglong Qisu three days ago, I guessed that those records It should be related to Canglong Qisu."

Donghuang Taiyi did not interrupt Ji Ran, although he was curious about what kind of book it was.

Ji Ran continued: "First, there are seven boxes, and each box is engraved with the seven stars of the East, namely Jiao, Kang, Di, Fang, Xin, Wei, and Ji."

"Second, there are seven jade pendants, and each jade pendant corresponds to one of the seven places in the east."

"These are two clues that this junior can confirm. The following two are that this junior cannot confirm."

"First, when South Korea sent troops to conquer Baiyue five years ago, they destroyed a place called 'Huoyu Villa'. And Huoyu Villa is the descendant of Zheng Zhuanggong. Zheng Zhuanggong dominated the princes. I think Senior Donghuang You should understand the key.”

"Second, Lord Xinling Wei Wuji should be keeping a special jade pendant."

"I wonder if Senior Donghuang is satisfied with these four clues?"

Hearing this, Donghuang Taiyi still didn't know. What this boy said he saw from ancient books was completely false. I'm afraid he didn't know the secret of Canglong Qisu, which was also false.The first three clues are probably all true, but the fourth...

It is said that this boy was once chased for thousands of miles by Lord Xinling's men, probably because he wanted to take revenge on Lord Xinling with the help of the Yin Yang family.

But Donghuang Taiyi didn't care, so he said: "Dongjun, from today on, you will personally teach and teach Xuanxinzi the Yin and Yang technique until he learns it."

Dongjun saluted and said: "Respect the order of Lord Donghuang."

Although Ji Ran and Donghuang Taiyi exchanged many yin and yang techniques, Ji Ran did not start practicing and still looked at the precious materials left by his predecessors in the yin and yang family library every day.At the same time, visualize the three-legged golden crow and try to figure out the similarities and differences between the Yin-Yang spirit and the Taoist spirit.

At the same time, comparing the exterior scenes of the totems learned in previous lives, I hope to combine the strengths of the three and eventually form my own three-legged Golden Crow.

The biggest difference between the totem exterior and the Soul Xilongyou is that the totem exterior can absorb the strange energy and strengthen the exterior. However, doing so will also cause the soul to be affected by the strange energy. The so-called strange energy is the mystery contained in the strange species.

For example, the sharpness of the famous sword, the fierceness of the fierce tiger, and the dragon aura in the body of Pixiu who is still in Loulan in this world.In the previous life, Ji Ran did not absorb the strange Qi, but only absorbed the pure Qi extracted from the exercises she learned.

So his white peacock isn't particularly magical.There is a hibiscus tree in this world. If the three-legged golden crow absorbs the mystery of the hibiscus tree, it can be said to be even more powerful and complement each other.

At the same time, the three-legged golden crow represents the sun, and using the power of the sun to burn and forge the soul is not the so-called pure Yang idea?
These are the advantages of the totem exterior. The disadvantage is that the totem exterior is a whole and indivisible.But Hunxi Longyou is different, Hunxi Longyou gathers and disperses as he pleases.

It was precisely because of this thought that Ji Ran studied and studied very cautiously and seriously.After all, he once warned Ying Zheng: "Be firm and slow. As a teacher, I should do it even more."

Half a year later, Ji Ran finally planned his own cultivation path.No matter how you practice, you must first ensure that the demon soul is not exposed.So Ji Ran plans to strengthen the power of the five elements in the God of Cookery first, and then use the power of the sun.

So on this day, Ji Ran found Dongjun. After saluting and saying hello, Ji Ran asked, "I wonder if Dongjun has time?"

Dong Jun said: "I wonder if fellow Taoist Xuan Xinzi has anything you would like to ask?"

Ji Ran was not polite and asked directly: "What are the five virtues?"

Dongjun said: "The five virtues are: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The eternal ones are: cycle over and over again."

Ji Ran asked again: "What are the golden virtues, what are the wooden virtues, and what are the five virtues?"

Dong Jun said: "The Yellow Emperor obtained the virtue of earth, and the yellow dragon saw earthworms. The summer obtained the virtue of wood, and the green dragon stopped in the suburbs, and the vegetation was luxuriant. The Yin Dynasty obtained the virtue of gold, and silver overflowed from the mountains. The Zhou Dynasty obtained the virtue of fire, which has the symbol of red crow. Today's In the world, I don’t know who gets the water, and then the world.”

Hearing this, Ji Ran frowned and said: "Wood virtue, the one who grows hair; gold virtue, sharp and hard; fire virtue, flame and heat; earth virtue, thick and thick; and water virtue, which one?"

Dong Jun was a little surprised when he heard Ji Ran's answer, but he still said: "Water virtue is also good."

Ji Ran didn't expect that Dongjun would use Taoist scriptures to answer his question about Shui De.So Shui De remains abstract.

No longer entangled, Ji Ran continued to ask: "How to always?"

Dong Jun said: "The five elements are: one is water, the second is fire, the third is wood, the fourth is gold, and the fifth is earth. Water is called moistening, fire is called inflammation, wood is called straight, gold is called leather, and earth is called crops."

"Explanation of River Illustration: Water, fire, wood, metal, and earth are the innate beings."

"Luo Shu explains: Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are acquired."

"Being born: wood produces fire, fire produces earth, earth produces metal, metal produces water, and water produces wood."

“Conqueror: Wood overcomes earth, earth overcomes water, water overcomes fire, fire overcomes metal, and metal overcomes wood.”

Ji Ran added: "I have heard that the soil one does not exist, but the other four coexist. What is the explanation?"

After Dongjun heard about it, he said: "Gold comes from the earth, just like gold and silver. Wood comes from water and earth. When fire burns wood, the wood turns into earth; after fire burns gold, the gold turns into water."

In the next year, under Dong Jun's guidance, Ji Ran learned how to master the skills of Emperor Tian Hou Tu and refine gold.As for the Supreme Goodness Like Water and Leaves Flying and Flowers Flowing, we can no longer learn it now.

Although the five elements are interdependent and mutually reinforcing, one person cannot learn the five yin and yang techniques at the same time. He must learn them one by one. An imbalance of the five elements in the body will make the practitioner go crazy.

Ji Ran can learn two techniques. One is because Huangtianhoutu is the most peaceful and profound technique among the five. After successful practice, the six internal organs in the body can be greatly strengthened.

The second is that the Taoist sect's subtle mystical skills practiced by Ji Ran are best at regulating yin and yang. The pure gold and the earth are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other. With the adjustment of the subtle mystical skills, both can be practiced together.

At the same time, Ji Ran also enhanced the power of earth and metal in her God of Cookery through totem exterior exercises, achieving a balance among the five elements.It's just that Ji Ran's totem exterior is no longer a white peacock, but a multicolored stone.

That day Ji Ran came to Dongjun and said, "I wonder if Fellow Taoist Dongjun can ask Senior Donghuang for his experience on astrological laws?"

"This will make it easier to learn astrological laws in the future and compare them with the results. After all, destiny is the most unpredictable."

Dongjun just said indifferently: "I will report to Lord Donghuang. As for the result, I'm not sure."

Time is like running water, and another year has passed in a blink of an eye.

In the past year.Ji Ran first copied the three-legged Golden Crow visualization picture every day, and then looked at the stars in the sky at night. At the same time, he compared the astrological laws and placed the stars in the sky on the cloth.

The visualization of the three-legged Golden Crow is completely engraved in my mind, even down to the branching of a feather.The most mysterious astrological law of the Yin Yang family can be regarded as an introduction, but it is still far from being usable.

The final visualization of the three-legged golden crow can almost look real. Anyone who copies a painting hundreds or thousands of times will get good results.And the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Diagram is becoming more and more divine.

Ji Ran went to Dongjun and said: "Fellow Taoist Dongjun, I have memorized the yin and yang skills I have learned. If I encounter any problems in my practice in the future, please give me your advice. I have other things to do here, so I plan to say goodbye. .”

Dongjun said: "In this case, we can cooperate happily. If my fellow Taoist has nothing to do, we can come to Jieshi Palace to discuss the Tao together."

Ji Ran nodded and said, "See you in Jianghu."

In fact, the reasons why Ji Ran left Yin Yang's house were very simple. One was that he had finished reading the books in the library, and the other was that the "Xinglin Conference" agreed with Nianduan two years ago was about to be held in half a year.

This year is 243 BC, and Ji Ran, who has already celebrated his birthday, is 22 years old.On the way to Gusu, Ji Ran first wrote a letter to his master to report that he was safe, and at the same time asked Mo Mo to rush to Gusu to join him.

He also told Master that he was going to attend the Xinglin Conference and that after the conference he planned to go to Shushan to practice for a period of time.

On the way, Ji Ran discovered that after Huang Tian Hou Tu successfully cultivated, the earth seemed to be much closer to him, and she had not felt anything like it in Jieshi Palace before.

Now walking between the mountains and rivers, unexpectedly there is a faint force gushing in from the bottom of the feet, and it travels around the whole body.Sometimes when I am standing still, I even feel like a grass, and the soles of my feet are like roots, slightly piercing the ground.

And that faint force seems to be absorbing the "nutrients" of the earth.

At the same time, there were actually several meters between his steps. It was like "shrinking the ground into an inch" as recorded in the classics.

After practicing the Hundred Refinements of Fine Gold, not only did I master a lot of knowledge about forging and alchemy, but my lungs' breathing ability was also enhanced.Combined with the tiger and leopard thunder sound from the previous life of Shaolin to cleanse the five internal organs, the effect is even more significant.

On the way to Chu State, Ji Ran passed by Qi State again and made a special detour to Xiaoshengxian Manor.Met with Master Xun and Han Fei.

Ji Ran told Master Xun about the process of obtaining the Kunwu Sword and the problems he faced now. Unfortunately, Master Xun was not good at dealing with this problem.The only advice for Ji Ran is to read, nourish one's energy, and be sensible.

Principles can strengthen the soul and strengthen beliefs.The so-called I am good at cultivating my awe-inspiring spirit.This awe-inspiring spirit is a little belief and persistence in benevolence, righteousness and morality.If the thoughts are not dispersed, the spirit will not be dispersed and then the Qi will not be dispersed.

Ji Ran also saw Fu Nian and Ouyang Li following Fu Nian.After another "tie" with Fu Nian, Ji Ran left Little Saint Xian Manor.

Finally, Ji Ran arrived in Gusu City three months later. At this time, Gusu City was very lively, with many doctors from all over Kyushu and some people who looked like patients at first glance.

Such as the haggard-looking woman, the old man lying on the cart, and even Ji Ran saw the carriage and horses of the Qi King's royal family.

Ji Ran was not curious about who was in the carriage or what illness he had.To his surprise, Tian Guang was riding a horse to guard the carriage.

"This is interesting. A dignified peasant hero actually works as a guard for others. But what does that have to do with me?" Ji Ran murmured in her heart, turned around and walked into an inn.

When Ji Ran showed her invitation, she was placed in a separate courtyard.The three rooms in the courtyard are also occupied by doctors.

Five days later, several stern ships arrived at Taihu Pier.Many Mohist disciples got off the boat to help welcome the doctors on board and maintain order.Also observe your surroundings for danger.

Although doctors themselves are of low strength, among all the schools of thought and even the seven countries in the world, who is not afraid of getting sick and injured?Therefore, doctors traveling all over the world will basically not face any difficulties.

In the original work, if Duan Murong had not joined the Mohist family and became the leader of the Mohist family, she would not have encountered the subsequent sufferings at all.

Ji Ran also boarded the boat with everyone, looking at the sparkling light in front of her eyes and her own reflection in the lake.Ji Ran suddenly laughed, and then thought of a verse: "Paint your body with the incense, and put on your clothes and necklace. It confuses your mind, saying that it comes from your own body. Just like that ugly maid, when she sees the shadow, she thinks it is her own."

Then Ji Ran thought about herself, is she just like the person who sees other people's reflections?
