My Immortal Brother-in-law

Chapter 133 A Collection of Seventy-two Useful Taoist Techniques

Seeing this couplet, Zhong Su smiled with satisfaction, and Taibai smiled even more satisfied.

"Fortunately, fortunately, we did not bring discredit to the tiger.

If the tiger doesn’t like this pair, he must change it behind my back.

As for today, I must drink with the mountain king here, and compose poems after drinking, so that the fragrance of poetry and wine can spread throughout the entire Zhongshan Mountain!

"Tiger, bring me some wine, I can't stop craving for it anymore, haha!"

While laughing, Taibai Jinxing took out some wine from his waist.

How could a drinking enthusiast like him not carry alcohol with him?

Seeing Taibai drinking by himself, Zhong Su jokingly handed Taibai over to the old loach who had transformed, and he went to the back mountain to cook.

Doesn’t Taibai love to eat edamame? For the sake of the couplet, there is enough edamame and peanuts.

Zhong Suliu hadn't cooked for a long time, and now that he was cooking by himself, he actually enjoyed the taste. So, he and Taibai Jinxing had a delicious meal.

After eating and drinking, Taibai had recited enough poems and finally remembered what he wanted to do.

He drunkenly took out the invitation from his arms and slowly placed it in front of Zhong Suli.

"Shan... Shanjun!"

Looking at the invitation, Taibai thought for a moment before he finally remembered what he should say.

"Queen Mother... Her Majesty's birthday, the Peach Banquet... The Peach Banquet!

The Queen specifically asked the tiger to come, so you must be there!

There are people in our Heavenly Court who are secretly muttering about this, ever since the Queen went to Jin'ao Island to play with you and other powerful men like Shanjun.

Now the Queen even keeps repeating your name in her dreams!

Hahahaha!

Before coming here, I thought the mountain lord was the white-faced fairy who teased our queen.

But today... I just found out today when I saw you.

You are also a wonderful person, Mr. Tiger, a wonderful person!"

thump!
The moment Taibai Jinxing finished speaking, he collapsed on the table.

Seeing Taibai unable to get up again, Zhong Su took a deep breath, then called the clam girl and arranged for Taibai to rest in the side room.

This Taibai, he said he was a big drinker, but he got drunk in less than two jars. He couldn't drink as much as Zi Yuanjun...

That's it?

……

At noon the next day.

Zhong Su took the Complete Collection of 72 Disha Magical Powers given to him by Taoist Tongtian when he left Jin'ao Island, and sat on the top of the mountain to study it silently.

The collection of Taoist magic, the Seventy-two Earthly Fiends, was originally created by Tongtian when he had nothing to do. He selected the relatively good magical powers from the best among his disciples and compiled them into a number of Earthly Fiends.

Since the source of the 72 Earthly Transformations all resides in Tongtian, it would not be difficult for Zhong Su to ask for a copy, because Tongtian believed in teaching everyone.

As for now, Zhong Su finally figured out the relationship between the Seventy-two Transformations of Clear Devil and the Eight-Nine Profound Arts.

They are actually the same thing.

To be precise, Tongtian has not yet named the 72 Earthly Transformations, and these 72 Transformations are not the fundamental Dharma of the Jiejiao.

The Seventy-two Transformations are not a secret book created independently by Tongtian alone, but the seventy-two most useful ones selected by Tongtian from countless useful Taoist talents and compiled into this booklet.

In other words, the real name of the 72 Earthly Transformations should be "A collection of 72 useful Taoist techniques", or "A summary of the 72 Taoist techniques that Tongtian strongly recommends as must-learn techniques for qigong practitioners".

If you like, you can also call it "A summary of the 72 most useful Taoist techniques tested by Tongtian."

Because of this, after Tongtian compiled this booklet, he never thought of keeping it for himself, but once it was compiled and recorded, he spread it throughout the prehistoric world.

He usually threw a few of the Seventy-two Transformations of the Local Demon into the Great Wilderness when he had nothing to do, and by the way, he also passed this method on to almost all the disciples of the three religions, including the Chan Sect and the Human Dao Sect...

As a result, even people like Yuan Hong have no follower, and only the talented independent cultivators can perfectly practice the 72 Earthly Transformations.

What's more, every Qigong practitioner in the Great Wilderness today basically knows a few of the seventy-two transformations, such as borrowing the wind, walking in the fog, praying for clear weather, and praying for rain.

Or you can make pills, talisman water, medicine, or fasting.

Yes, you read it right, the above-mentioned eight Taoist methods are eight of the seventy-two transformations, and almost every Qigong practitioner knows a few of them.

Sun Wukong and Yang Jian, serious practitioners of the Seventy-Two Transformations, naturally also have some grasp of it.

But since the Seventy-Two Transformations are common stuff, does that mean that the Seventy-Two Transformations are not actually powerful?

how could be!

Although nearly half of the seventy-two transformations are simple and easy-to-use methods such as praying for clear weather and rain.

But the remaining half of it is mostly the great magical powers such as carrying mountains and chasing the moon, which are extremely difficult and even extremely test the talent of the practitioners.

People like Yang Jian, Yuan Hong and Sun Wukong have learned all the seventy-two transformations and studied them in depth.

Including the most difficult ones such as Golden Body, Pot Heaven, Corpse Transmigration and Divine Movement, all have been figured out by these gifted practitioners.

Therefore, with just the book of Seventy-Two Transformations, they could make a great name for themselves in the wilderness.

So, does it take talent to learn the 72 Disha Transformations?

No need!
Even mortals who are unable to practice cultivation can master several of the seventy-two transformations after studying them seriously.

Medicine and talisman water, can't ordinary people learn it?

In other words, does the Seventy-Two Transformations really require no talent at all?

This is even more impossible.

Just talking about the Golden Body transformation among the Seventy-Two Transformations, up to now only Yang Jian, Sun Wukong and others have mastered it.

Therefore, we can basically conclude that the Seventy-two Transformations of the Earthly Fiends is a collection of Great Wilderness magic from simple to complex, compiled by Tongtian, and perfectly suitable for any practitioner's collection of Taoist magic.

However, even if the Seventy-Two Transformations are suitable for everyone, they are not suitable for Zhong Suli.

It was just like the small fasting method that Kong Xuan gave him back then. No matter how hard Zhong Su tried to learn the 72 Earthly Transformations, he could not learn any of the Taoist techniques!
So after studying it carefully, Zhong Su helplessly held the Seventy-two Transformations of the Earthly Fiends in his hands and looked from afar at Ao Tingxin who was leading the clam girls to cultivate the medicinal fields.

It seems that I need to pass on all the 72 transformations of Local Demon to my most beloved girl first!

While Zhong Su was thinking, in the side room of the Mountain King Palace.

Taibai Jinxing climbed up in a daze.

As soon as he got up, he patted his head.

"Drinking is a waste of time, drinking is a waste of time, I still have to continue delivering invitations!

Now it’s less than a year and a half away from the Empress’ birthday, and I still have more than 8,000 invitations in my hands!

I…how can I deliver all of this!!!"

Sighing in frustration, Taibai walked out of the room and asked the cleaning girl about Zhong Su's location.

After reaching the top of the mountain, Taibai said goodbye to Zhong Su, then left Zhongshan and continued his work.

Looking at Taibai's receding back, Zhulong finally woke up. He leaned over to Zhong Su and spoke softly with his mouth wide open.

"If you go to the Peach Banquet, Tiger King must be careful not to be led by Haotian.

Ever since Haotian took office in Heaven, he has become abnormal.

I think that since Shanjun has already achieved Daluotian, he must have seen Haotian. He has too many incarnations, or personalities.

Even if there are still the rules and regulations of heaven to restrain Haotian, there is no telling when those personalities in him might cause trouble.

Like last time, Haotian actually asked the Twelve Golden Immortals under Yuanshi's seat to go to heaven to work together.

Well, the scene was quite awkward. When I was standing on Zhongshan's side and watching, I couldn't help but feel embarrassed for the fellow Taoists present.

But since Shanjun must go, please don't forget to bring back some peaches for me.

Come to think of it, it’s been a long time since I’ve had peaches.”
