From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 117 Mountain Protection Formation [Long chapter, please vote, please subscribe! ]

During the Spring Festival, a group of photos were widely circulated on the Internet.

Those were some weather satellite photos captured by the United States. In the photos, a thick red cloud gathered in a certain area, and then slowly disappeared as if it was erased with an eraser.

There are many different opinions on the Internet. Some say that a new secret weapon is being developed, while others say that the satellite malfunction caused the color of the photo to be wrong, or that the photo was photoshopped, and they list various evidences.

The Chinese government has not responded to this.

After the Spring Festival, in March, except for some areas in southern Sichuan that were severely affected by the earthquake and were still being rebuilt, people from other parts of Sichuan returned to their hometowns one after another.

Reporters continued to follow and film along the way. Although there was a slight ripple in public opinion, with official subsidies and a group of public experts coming out to explain the purpose of such actions and the scientific causes of the southern Sichuan earthquake, some chaotic voices were gradually suppressed.

On March 10, when the public attention was still on the relocation of Sichuan residents and post-disaster reconstruction in southern Sichuan, with official endorsement, the "Taoist Alliance" was established in Qingcheng Mountain, Sichuan, initiated by well-known Taoist figures such as Qi Qiansu of Qingcheng Mountain and Zhang Miaofa of Longhu Mountain.

The full name of the Dao League is the Chinese Taoist League. In addition to Qingcheng Mountain, it plans to establish branches in many provinces across the country.

The first voting and election of the Taoist Alliance eventually resulted in the appointment of Taoist Master Qi Qiansu from Qingcheng Mountain as the first president, Zhang Miaofa and Chen Xiyan as vice presidents, and initially there were ten secretaries-general under the organization, who were appointed by the masters of various Dharma lineages and temples.

The establishment of Daomeng did not cause much stir in online media. The number of online views and official blog likes were not high. It only barely made it into the top 30 on the hot searches, and was then strongly squeezed out by a certain national oil company.

Some people care, while others don't. Ke He, a sophomore at Beijing Minzu University, noticed this. Her major is folklore. After talking to her mother on the phone and learning that she had already boarded the train back home, she finally felt relieved.

Because of the earthquake in southern Sichuan during the Spring Festival, she could not go home and had to stay in school. Fortunately, she received a lot of scholarships and had some part-time jobs, so she had a very comfortable Spring Festival with several friends from Sichuan.

Ke He is twenty years old this year. He has a slender figure and a head of long hair that falls to his waist. His appearance is T0 level even in Beijing Nationalities University, which is full of beautiful girls. However, due to his personality, he wears glasses all day and spends time in the library or study room. He has never had any experience in love.

Her mother was very worried about this and did a lot of things for her. Last year, she sent her a WeChat message, saying how excellent the other party was. She added him as a friend. The person on the other end was called Gao Miao, and he was also a taciturn guy. After a few words, there was no follow-up.

When her daughter talked about the recently established Taoist Alliance, the mother on the other side sneered: "What Taoist Alliance? Let me tell you, the most powerful Taoist priests are not in Qingcheng Mountain, but in the small Taoist temple next to our village."

Ke He was speechless, knowing that his mother was about to start talking about his godson with mysterious confidence again.

The scenes in my memory began to resurface. There was indeed a small Taoist temple on the hill next to the village, but the tourism industry had never developed. There were only a few tourists all year round. In the history of Taoism, it was so small that there was no such mountain.
She even went to the official website of this newly established Taoist Alliance and found that all the more than 90 Taoist lineages that had joined were well-known in history, and there was no such thing as the small Taoist temple that the mother's godson belonged to.

The Baiyun Temple is only somewhat famous in the village, but few people know about it outside the village.

So Ke He took the trouble to explain to his mother the value of this Dao League.

"Xiao He, I know you don't believe it, but Baiyun Temple is really powerful now. Many big shots go to the mountain every day..."

Unable to persuade his mother, Ke He could only sigh that his mother loves her son and his family. As a mother, who wouldn't think that her own son is the best? Even if he is a godson,

Thinking of his godson, Ke He gritted his teeth in hatred.

She told him to go home and be careful. Even after she hung up the phone, her mother kept chattering about how the Baiyun Temple was different now and how great and magical it was. Ke He just thought his mother was talking nonsense.

After hanging up the phone, Ke He thought about it and somehow started searching for the three words "Baiyun Temple" on the Internet. As expected, there were only two Baiyun Temples in Beijing and Yuqing, but there was no small temple in his own village.

At this time, her roommate had already put on her makeup and dressed up and asked her to go to the lecture held in the college.

The dean invited the master of a Taoist temple in Shangjing to give them a series of Taoist knowledge lectures, which were held every half a month. The main audience was students majoring in folklore, but it was also open to students from the entire school.

Thinking of this, Ke He felt quite strange. Since the start of school after the Spring Festival, there have been many more Taoist elements in the school.

First, several Taoist cultural and health associations were newly registered by student organizations, and then folk-related majors often invited people related to Taoism to give lectures.

Putting down the homework for a new Taoist culture basic course, Ke He and his roommate walked on the way to school. Seeing that his roommate who used to talk about Newton and Marx and Lenin was now starting to talk about scriptures and mysteries, he suddenly felt a sense of emptiness.

Ke He tilted his head and looked at the poster of a certain master at the lecture.

This world seems to be brewing something?
After hanging up the phone, Aunt Li sighed, knowing that her daughter didn't believe her.

She was not stupid. She had stayed in the mountains for so long, seen three-legged frogs and squirrels playing like children, and had eaten the magic rice for several months, and even the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes had faded a lot.

As for those important figures who came up the mountain with respect, Aunt Li already had many guesses about Baiyun Temple.

The train was very fast. After arriving in the town, a special car took the villagers of Shiyang Village back to the village.
When she arrived at the village, before she even entered the house, Aunt Li saw construction teams and material transport trucks coming and going. She asked a contractor and found out that an enterprise in the town was paying to renovate the Taoist temple on the mountain and expand it at the same time.

Looking at the beautifully carved pillars and beams being transported back and forth, anyone can see that they are worth a fortune.

Aunt Li thought about it and weighed the options for a long time. Finally, she suppressed her desire to go up the mountain to help and went back to clean up her room.

At the foot of the mountain, Wang Xin and Yang Yingying were checking various materials.

"This is the last truckload of materials. With this truckload of materials, the materials for the Sanqing Hall, Hunyuan Hall and Yanjiao Hall in the front mountain have been transported. The Zhailang Gate Pavilion is also nearing completion. The Baiyun Hall and Yangwu Hall in the back mountain have also been completed. I think this should satisfy Master Li."

Yang Yingying was a little tired. She was not good at things like building materials, but when Wang Xin asked her to entrust the expansion of Baiyun Temple, she naturally felt obliged to do so. The site selection, layout, architectural style, material selection and decoration of all the buildings in Baiyun Temple were strictly checked by the masters she invited and then submitted to the person in Baiyun Mountain for review.

Although it was time-consuming and laborious, Yang Yingying was extremely satisfied because her cousin Wang Xin finally became an enrolled student in Baiyun Temple!
Although I am not a disciple of that person, the other Taoist Priest Chi is the same.

What is this called? Wang Xin, the next generation of Baiyun Temple's founding disciple, has been showing off a lot these days. Looking at Wang Xin's skin, which is smoother and whiter than hers, Yang Yingying said she was not envious, but that was a lie.

As the material transport truck descended, it was carrying several sacks.

Seeing this magical object being treated like this, Yang Yingying quickly called for help to weigh a few bags of magical rice and put them in the trunk of the car.

Now the amount of spiritual rice is carefully counted and has to be evenly distributed to the various branches of the Yang family based on the number of people. She can't help but be cautious.

"Sister, don't eat too much of this magical rice. The second and third uncles are old, so it's best to cook it into porridge and just drink a small bowl of it, otherwise they won't be able to bear it." Wang Xin kindly reminded her cousin when she saw that her cousin's cell phone had received inquiries from various branches of the Yang family.

"Need I tell you? I'm not a fool. Besides, how could they afford to eat the amount allocated to them three times a day? They are all very tight on food." He slapped Wang Xin and found that the boy was just cooperating by covering his forehead. His finger hurt and he was very angry.

She also remembered that this kid lived in Baiyun Mountain every day, and probably ate ordinary rice for three meals a day.

"Hehehe, don't be angry, sister. I am practicing Taoism with my master now. My master said that when I break through the Qi-inducing stage, he will approve a spiritual rice subsidy for me. There will be more after I awaken my spirit. I will send it to you then."

Wang Xin took out another twenty talismans from his bag and said, "This is the extra money for the expansion of Baiyun Temple that Master Li asked me to give you. It's called the Five Yuan Life-Preserving Talisman. It lasts for about a year. Stick it on the bedside or fold it up and wear it with you. It can nourish the three treasures and prolong your life."

After receiving the talisman, Yang Yingying had a complicated expression. The cost of expanding Baiyun Temple was not high. She knew that the person from Baiyun Temple was trading spiritual rice and talismans with the Yang family. In the past few days, she didn't know how many people had found her through connections.

According to their asking price, if she sold 1/6 of the spiritual rice and talismans she obtained, it would be enough to cover the cost of expanding Baiyun Temple.

But selling? Only a fool would sell.

The brother and sister chatted for a long time before Wang Xin returned to the mountain.

The workers in the front mountain were working in full swing according to the construction drawings, and Wang Xin went straight to the back mountain.

The Baiyun Hall on the back mountain has been built. It adopts a central axis symmetrical layout, with a double-eaved hip roof, upturned eaves, and an overall bracket-arch structure.

In terms of architectural decoration, according to Li Yang's idea, dark colors are mostly used, and techniques such as painting, wood carving, and stone carving are used, which looks profound, solemn and full of metaphysics.

When entering the hall, only Chi Yanhong was meditating. After listening to Wang Xin's progress report on the Qianshan Palace, he nodded.

After testing Wang Xin's cultivation, Chi Yanhong shook his head and said, "How come a month has passed and he has only felt the Qi but not drawn the Qi?"

Wang Xin looked embarrassed.

"I know that you are active by nature and have trouble calming down, but cultivating Taoism for longevity is a long and painstaking process. If you don't enter the realm of transcendence after a hundred years, won't you still die like an ordinary mortal?"

Wang Xin lowered his head and remained silent.

He had indeed been having too much fun during the past month, hanging out with the squirrel and the golden toad every day, and then following the construction team every day to look at the blueprints and watch the fun, thus neglecting his cultivation.

"Go down. When you awaken your spirit, I will teach you the innate method. The Dao League will start accepting disciples and preaching in a few months. You are the only disciple under Baiyun Mountain. I don't want to see Baiyun Mountain being weaker than others in other aspects."

As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Xin's ambitions were immediately aroused. When he entered the door, Chi Yanhong had already told him many things that had happened in Baiyun Mountain and its current status. He also knew what a transcendent existence Baiyun Mountain was in the world of cultivation.

Wang Xin bowed and said, "I will definitely live up to Master's cultivation and not bring down the reputation of Baiyun."

Chi Yanhong nodded, and Wang Xin left.

Just as Wang Xin left, a beam of light entered the hall, and Li Yang returned on his sword.

It was a bit funny to see Chi Yanhong scolding his disciples like an old cultivator.

"why are you laughing?"

"Nothing, Wang Xin's aptitude is not high. Although he is provided with spiritual rice every day, he probably can't practice the Qi-eating Root Method. You should make plans early."

Chi Yanhong didn't mind it: "He naturally has his own destiny. If he can't practice the Qi-eating root method, I have prepared other innate cultivation methods."

As he spoke, Chi Yanhong threw a letter to Li Yang: "This is the third appointment letter issued by the government and the Dao League. What are your plans for you and me to serve as honorary presidents of the Dao League?"

Li Yang didn't even look at it and threw the letter of appointment aside. "It's just a trick of three invitations and three rejections, but it's impossible for me to really be an honorary president. I'd better be the king of Baiyun Mountain."

Chi Yanhong smiled lightly: "I think so too. I have already rejected it for you."

The two smiled at each other, and their minds were connected.

"How is the research on the mountain protection formation going?"

Chi Yanhong was completely clueless about the so-called formation, and after the Spring Festival, it was Li Yang who was busy studying the formation.

After all, the Mountain Locking Formation obtained from Nanshan was just a formation diagram that Li Yang copied based on Nanshan's layout. Many subtle details needed to be modified according to the specific conditions of Baiyun Mountain.

Moreover, the triggering method and various functions of the formation also need to be changed.

During this period, Li Yang exchanged some small formations from Chen Xiyan of Maoshan, and used the system to upgrade the [Yin Yang Formation Technique]. With the help of Ziwei Astrology version 2.0, he has basically mastered the mountain protection formation.

Li Yang sat cross-legged on the cushion: "Once the expansion of Baiyun Temple is completed, I should be able to start arranging the mountain protection formation. Now that the people of Shuchuan are moving back one after another, it is better to arrange it as soon as possible."

"I have gathered most of the materials for the mountain protection formation from the materials I have accumulated. As for the remaining miscellaneous materials, I plan to contact the authorities and exchange them for them. However..."

Seeing that he looked troubled, Chi Yanhong asked, "But what?"

"The original formation of Nanshan tends to suppress and kill, and its lethality is too strong. If it is deployed in its original form, it will probably harm the harmony of heaven."

Li Yang had some concerns. The fog of the Nanshan original formation could devour the blood and spirit of those who entered the formation. If an ordinary person accidentally entered Baiyun Mountain and triggered the formation, he would definitely not survive.

What Li Yang wants is the solemn and strict environment of the immortal realm, not the dangerous and evil mountains where people's lives could be taken at any time.
