Maoshan Taoist priests practice falsehood and become reality

Chapter 48 The problem is serious
  At 8:46, Su Heng finally returned to the apartment.

Fighting back his sleepiness, he turned on his phone.

A lot of unread messages.

The earliest news was yesterday afternoon.

Shouzhen: Haven’t you come back yet?

Shouzhen: It’s raining heavily, be careful on the road!

Shouzhen: This is the contact information of my granddaughter Wang Yuran. Phone number…

Shouzhen: Why can’t I get through on the phone?
  Shouzhen: Remember to reply after seeing the message. I am very worried.

My eyelids have started to fight.

Xuan Heng: Master, I’m back and everything is safe. The base station in Tingyun Town is broken and there is no signal. The bone-strengthening patch has been entrusted to Wang Yuran to bring back. Yesterday, everyone was trapped in Dingyun Town all night without any rest. I'll rest first.

The other party is typing...

Shouzhen: Yuran also went back? Just be safe! If you need any help, just let me know. You are Welcome. Have a good rest, I won't disturb you anymore.

Did Sister Xia Qin also send a message?
  Xia Qin: Are you coming over for dinner tonight? Xiaoling is going back to school tomorrow, let’s celebrate. I bought a lot of delicious food.

Xia Qin: If it’s a heavy rainstorm and it’s inconvenient to travel, forget it. Safety first.

Apparently the meal was expired.

Xuan Heng: Sorry, I was stuck in Tingyun Town yesterday with no signal. I just got home. Let’s eat next time.

Xia Qin didn't reply in time, she was probably busy.

Next it was Xia Xiaoling's turn to reply.

There were a total of fifty-six unread messages, which made Su Heng's scalp numb.

The first half mostly expressed dissatisfaction with Su Heng's failure to reply to messages in time, and the second half evolved into deep concern.

Real Girl: It’s raining so heavily and you don’t reply to messages? You must not encounter an evil spirit!
  Real Girl: Are you still alive? Don't die, otherwise I will blame myself for the rest of my life.

Real girl: Woohoo, I shouldn’t have asked you to help pick up the car, otherwise I would have come back long ago.

Real Girl: Woohoo, I will give you incense on time every year! /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~
  This guy has opened his mouth before, right?

Xuanheng: Still alive!

Real Girl: Ahhh, that’s great. Are you OK?
  Xuan Heng: Very sleepy, ready to sleep. The car can only be sent back after waking up.

Real girl: The car doesn't matter. I won't need it when I go back to school. You can drive it first. By the way, I'll go back to school in the afternoon. Let's have a dinner together at noon?
  Xuan Heng: Refuse, I’m very tired, I’m sleeping, don’t disturb me.

Real girl: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

After all messages were replied, Su Heng fell asleep.

……

When she woke up again, it was already 16:31. Su Heng yawned and got up from the bed, feeling more tired than ever before.

My head felt dizzy, my body seemed to be hollowed out, and all the joints in my body were aching.

"What's wrong with me?"

Su Heng, who noticed something was wrong, quickly checked his physical condition and found that the situation was not optimistic.

When he woke up, Yuan Qi did not recover as expected, and was still in a state of weak energy.

Moreover, due to the damage to Yuan Qi, the mana in the body was not only unable to be replenished, but also continued to be depleted in order to make up for Yuan Qi, which caused Su Heng's physical condition to seriously decline.

How much acquired mana is needed to make up for this innate energy?

Su Heng couldn't imagine it.

It is foreseeable that if Yuan Qi cannot be repaired, Su Heng's mana and health will deteriorate in the long run.

The situation can be said to be very bad.

In desperation, Su Heng first recited the mind-purifying mantra to stabilize his mind.

"Is this the price of using your origin?"

Su Heng, fully aware of the seriousness of the problem, immediately thought of remedies.

"Try Gu Yi's Heart Technique first to see if it can help repair Yuan Qi."

Su Heng endured the physical discomfort and recited the mantra to purify the mouth, held the bowl, poured the rice, burned incense, recited the mantra to incense, sat cross-legged to practice, and then silently recited "Gu Yi Xin Dharma".

As time passed, Su Heng's brows were furrowed, sweat dripped down his back, and his lips gradually turned white.

"No way."

Su Heng opened his eyes and gasped for air.

Practice is suspended. "The Heart of Grain Clothes" focuses on using magic power to weave grain clothes. Now Su Heng is short of magic power. Any trace of magic power that is born will be taken away by Yuan Qi to make up for it.

During practice, instead of being strengthened, the grain clothing covering the body has a faint tendency to disintegrate and turn into mana again.

This stopped him from continuing to practice.

How to do?
  Faint small words appeared in the eyes:

Name: Su Heng

Identity: Maoshan Taoist priest (true and passed on)…

Spells: Pure Heaven and Earth Divine Curse (true), Pure Heart Divine Curse (true), Cleansing Mouth Divine Curse (true), Blessing Incense Divine Curse (true), Golden Light Divine Curse (400/500·False)…

Mind Dharma: Gu Yi’s Mind Dharma (True·Second Level)
  Origin: 19.5 (0.4 daily increase)

Nowadays, the only thing that meets the conditions for practicing the false to be true is the golden light divine curse, and this divine curse is obviously not suitable for repairing Yuan Qi.

If you want to repair Yuan Qi, you probably have to find another way.

It's no use just thinking about it yourself, you still need to consult professionals on this matter.

Su Heng picked up the phone and sent a message to the master.

Xuan Heng: Master, does our Maoshan Taoist sect have a method to repair Yuan Qi? It would be best if it could be used to teach disciples.

A minute passed and Su Heng waited for a reply.

Shouzhen: Well, disciple, Yuan Qi is just a concept. If you are weak and have insufficient Qi and blood, the Maoshan Sect has a collection of "Shangqing Health Cultivation Methods" that you can practice daily to strengthen your body.

"Shangqing Health Cultivation Method"?
  Sounds good.

Xuan Heng: Master, do you have an electronic version that you can send me?
  Shouzhen: Where did you get the electronic version of this ancient book? If necessary, I will send it to you by express tomorrow.

The express delivery will be delayed for another day. Su Heng can't wait and wants it now.

Xuanheng: Is master at the Taoist temple? I'll get the book.

Shouzhen: ...yes, but training matters should be accumulated over time and things will come naturally. Those who practice Taoism must guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and do not act too hastily.

Xuan Heng: I know Master, I will be there soon.

Shouzhen:......

At 17:40, Su Heng walked into Maoshan Taoist Temple.

The two senior brothers are back and are cleaning up the mud in the courtyard and sweeping away the leaves that have been knocked down by the heavy rain. They look a little depressed.

When Li Ping saw Su Heng, he sighed and said: "Halfway through the protest, there was a sudden heavy rain, which almost caused a stampede."

Liu Yun nodded: "Next time I won't participate in crowded activities. Junior brother, you look so bad. What are you doing at the Taoist temple?"

"Get something, where is the master?"

"I just put on the bone-strengthening patch, so I'm lying down in the room to rest."

Su Heng said goodbye to the two of them and went straight to Wang Zhiyuan's room.

"Master, I'm here to get the book."

"The book is on the table."

There is a slightly yellowed ancient book on the table, with the words "Shangqing Health Cultivation Method" written clearly on the cover.

"It's so thick."

"It's a collection that contains many health-preserving exercises of the Maoshan sect. It's certainly thick."

Good collection.

Su Heng was delighted. When he took the book and was about to leave, he noticed a familiar box placed in the corner of the room. The box was opened and contained bone-setting patches.

"Wang Yuran has come back?" Su Heng asked profusely.

"No, she said she was too tired and needed to rest. The bone-strengthening patch was sent by a colleague. Have you seen her? Is she okay?"

Wang Yuran almost entered the gate of hell and could not come back. His condition at this time was definitely worse than Su Heng.

In order not to worry Wang Zhiyuan, Su Heng could only excuse himself: "It's okay, I just look a little tired."

"Oh, I told her to get more rest. The old man doesn't listen to what she says. Young people have a common language. Please try to persuade her if there is nothing wrong. She is not young anymore."

Saying goodbye to his master, Su Heng hurriedly ate a bowl of fried rice on the roadside to fill his stomach. Then he quickly returned to the apartment and started reading "Shangqing Health Cultivation Method".

After searching for a long time, Su Heng's eyes lit up.

"There is."
