From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 304 When there is a heavy rain

"Inner alchemy, talisman, swordsmanship... Oh my goodness, am I dreaming?"

"Which forum is the sword technique held at? I want to go and listen to the sword technique!"

"Idiot, Taoism is divided into Zhengyi and Quanzhen, and the real amazing thing is the inner alchemy method, that is the foundation!"

"These are easy to understand, but what the hell is that Qi-eating method and Brahma method?"

At this time, the 36,000 people on the mountain did not know the so-called realm divisions and were dispersed to the seven major altars. Only now did they realize what their own altar was going to talk about.

At the Chaozhen Altar, although they had doubts at this time, they could not change the altar. So, thousands of people looked up at Li Yang who was sitting upright on the altar.

At this time, Li Yang was dressed in proper Taoist attire, and wore the purple Taoist robe that he had been given when he participated in the national spiritual energy exploration.

The purple robe, what is its significance in Taoism? The thousands of spectators below basically have a vague impression of it.

But the purple robe matched with Li Yang's face, which was a little too young and handsome, there was something a little bit wrong.

The thousands of people watching the ceremony in the square had friends who watched the ceremony at other altars and sent back photos, some of whom had immortal looks, some with white hair.

For example, the Xuhuang Altar, which mainly teaches the inner alchemy method, has 1,200 tablets of gods and the flags fluttering in the wind, which is a magnificent sight.

For example, in the Demon-Subduing Altar where swordsmanship is the main subject, a beautiful female Taoist holds a magic sword, which makes people feel cold.
For example, the Qingxuan Altar, which mainly teaches formations, is decorated with jade beads and engraved with cloud patterns and ancient seal characters. The surrounding area is densely covered with jade tablets of various colors.

This is true of all other altars for saving people and meditation. Except for the Chao Zhen Altar, the altar of the Chao Zhen Altar is the most simple.
At this time, Li Yang, who was sitting on the altar, overlooking the overall situation, ignored the doubts and uneasiness in everyone's eyes.

He calmly glanced at the crowd below, as well as the countless media cameras.

He saw Wang Shuhuan, who looked very excited, waving to a young girl next to him.
He saw thousands of people with uneasy hearts and fascinated and awe in their eyes.

"What I am going to talk to you about today is the method of eating qi."

When Li Yang spoke, the spectators below were all confused.

Li Yang had been prepared for this. The Qi-eating method had been discontinued for too long, and even most Taoist priests didn't know the origin of it, let alone these ordinary people.

Without much preparation, Li Yang spoke directly and solemnly:
“Before I talk about the method of eating Qi, I would like to tell you about a concept: Reiki.”

"What is spiritual energy? The Yunji Qiqian says: "Often immortals and hermits rest on it, and a strange atmosphere and spiritual energy cover the top of the mountain."

In the Jin Dynasty, Guo Pu's "Shan Hai Jing Tu Zan Shen Lu Wu" noted: "Men Ming is right, the gate of Si Di, breathing in spiritual energy, Xiong Hun Hun."

Aura is a kind of ethereal energy that cannot be observed but can be sensed, just like the rising tide. It completely disappeared from the earth around the Ming Dynasty and revived four years ago. "

Li Yang's voice was vague, but his heart was heavy. He thought of the ghost 'Penglai Island' still floating on the sea.

As soon as he finished speaking, a young female voice rang out from the audience.
"Master, do you mean that spiritual energy also appears abroad?"

It was a female reporter with a ponytail, her voice trembling with trepidation.

Li Yang nodded: "That's right, but the name of spiritual energy is different abroad. For example, in Europe and other countries, they call it 'magic element', and in the United States it is called 'supernormal point'"

“Have you had any contact with them?”

"We fought."

The BBC reporter did not expect to hear about the situation in his own country. An interpreter asked carefully: "Who won?"

Li Yang smiled but said nothing.

After the little episode, Li Yang continued:
"Now that you understand the concept of spiritual energy, you can talk about the method of eating spiritual energy."

"During the Spring and Autumn Period of the Qin Dynasty in ancient times, there were many stories about alchemists. The ancient books you have read at this time describe alchemists who mostly practiced qi and relied on comprehending the mysteries of yin and yang to achieve immortality."

"Then, the alchemists' teachings gradually declined, and only a few of them were introduced to the common people. The school that followed the Qi-eating and breathing method was supplemented by the external alchemy technique. At that time, Qin Shihuang sought the golden elixir, and this golden elixir was the external elixir refined by the alchemists."

"The Qi-eating method has a very high requirement for spiritual energy. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, spiritual energy was depleted, and only famous mountains and rivers had sufficient spiritual energy. The remaining Qi-eating method lineages all lived in seclusion in the mountains and rarely communicated with the outside world. Therefore, there are very few records of the Qi-eating method in history."

"Then Taoism continued to decline, but the rise of Taoism in the Eastern Han Dynasty provided a new opportunity for the development of sorcerers. Some Taoists took a different approach and created talismans and inner alchemy, which are also the source of most modern lineages."

"After the sects' disputes, Quanzhen unified all the Taoist sects in the world, and the Qi-eating and external alchemy methods completely disappeared. The internal alchemy method has since become the mainstream."

After Li Yang finished speaking, the people below were still in a daze, as if they had gone through a whole circle in the vicissitudes of history.

At around nine o'clock, the sun had already jumped out of the waves and revealed its full appearance.

The weather was too hot. Chen Li, who was standing beside Wang Shuhuan, lifted the hair that was stuck to her forehead by sweat. She suddenly realized something and pulled Wang Shuhuan's arm and spoke excitedly.

"No wonder, a few years ago, the southern Sichuan earthquake led to development, and the swordsmen in the movies that were released all took place in Shankakali!"

Under the scorching sun, Li Yang seemed to have heard Chen Li's words and smiled:
"Yes, there have been many legends about swordsmen in Shu Mountain since ancient times, many of which have traces of the ancient Qi-eating ancestors."

Chen Li bravely asked, trembling, "Which is better, the Qi-eating method or the inner alchemy method?"

"Each one has his own merits."

At this time, Li Yang and Chi Yanhong no longer held the idea that the so-called Qi-eating and Qi-exhaling method was the orthodox Taoist method. The sword-immortal method and the inner alchemy method both had their merits, and to a certain extent, were more suitable for the Chinese people's physical constitution for cultivating immortals.

Only the magic that can be cultivated is the immortal magic. Those that cannot be cultivated are just a few paragraphs of words and scribbles to ordinary people.

As soon as she asked the question, Chen Li regretted it.

Because at this moment, thousands of people in the square and cameras from domestic and foreign media were focused on her.

As a high school student who just graduated, Chen Li was obviously a little overwhelmed, as she was appearing in front of the whole world.

At this time, she lowered her head, her face pale and rosy, and waited until the media cameras moved away before she spoke carefully to Wang Shuhuan.
"Wang Shuhuan, then tell me, should I learn the inner alchemy method or the food qi method in the future?"

This little girl has already started to fantasize and is struggling to decide what sect she will join in the future.

Wang Shuhuan was speechless.

No, squad leader, you are still picking here? !

If I had the talent to master the Qi-eating method, I would have gone to become his disciple.
Being able to practice the method of eating Qi, the sword pills and the real water are nothing.

Wang Shuhuan thought for a long time and spoke carefully.

"In the entire country of China, before I transferred to this school, there were only two people who had succeeded in their cultivation."

"so little?"

After Li Yang's words, the people below were not very interested.

Simple words were too blank and general to the thousands of people present. To many people, they had no idea about this at all.

Some videos leaked from other temples went viral.

There was a video of the talisman technique at Shunxing Altar, where a yellow palm-sized piece of paper could spontaneously ignite without wind, accompanied by thunder and lightning;

Over at the meditation altar, a monk spewed out lotus flowers from his mouth, attracting hundreds of birds to fly in worship, filling the place with fragrance;
What was even more outrageous was that over at the Xuhuang Altar, they were directing the spiritual energy on the spot, with an old Taoist priest with white hair and a sturdy figure preaching while floating several feet above the ground.

On the other hand, at Chaozhentan, Li Yang was talking a lot but didn't show any real ability, and the weather was very hot, so the discussions below became increasingly loud.

At some point, the wind started blowing.

A melodious bell sounded from the Tianshi Temple on the mountain, the cloud shadows swayed, and the leaves in the forest rustled.

Li Yang glanced at the expectant eyes of thousands of people below and smiled faintly.

He knew that these people wanted to see the true Dharma.

"I eat the Qi root method to eat the Qi of heaven and earth. My progress in cultivation is closely related to the nature of heaven and earth..."

Looking down at the crowd, Li Yang's voice immediately rang in their ears:

"Today is the Luotian Grand Ceremony. There will be a heavy rain. I will perform my true Dharma to celebrate this day!"

At this moment, the bustling sounds in the square where thousands of people gathered suddenly stopped.

Then, they heard the young Taoist above say: "... there will be heavy rain."

They looked up at the sky, but were soon blinded by the scorching sun.

The people who had been following the live broadcast at the foot of Mount Longhu also glanced at the weather outside.
The sky was cloudless at this time.

It is common sense that there will be rain only when there are clouds.

So, is this a live prayer for rain?

Everyone instantly became excited, and the field and the hills were suddenly caught in a state of intense excitement.

Li Yang did not report this incident to the authorities in advance, and the news that a Taoist priest was praying for rain at the Luotian Dajiao was quickly broadcast live and then reached the Jiangxi Meteorological Bureau.

Without giving them much time to react, changes had already occurred on the altar.
Fog, really thick fog.

It was the same mist as in the morning, the same cloud that had just covered their view.

Wisps of white mist slowly seeped out from the mountains, rivers, and forests, becoming thicker and thicker. However, the mist did not stay on the ground, but drifted upwards.

Many people in this world have seen the rolling clouds, but few have seen the white mist covering the entire mountains and rising straight up.

…carrying the fog that seemed to be substantial and flowing, it soared straight up.

Maybe hundreds of square kilometers, maybe covering the entire Longhu Mountain, Shangqing Town, YT City, Jiangyou Province...

The golden wheel in the sky was obscured by the mist and could not be seen clearly. The rays of light in the mist jumped up and down, flickering and changing, which stunned the thousands of people in the audience, and the sound of cameras never stopped.

"What a great day! It's time for a heavy rain!"

The hazy mist made the skin of all the spectators feel cool.
They heard a voice in the cloud.

This sound did not come from the altar in front of them, but from the sky. So they all raised their heads.

"The Taoist priest is in the clouds!!"

"He flew up. There really is someone who can fly...ah!"

"I can't see clearly, the fog is so thick, where is the Taoist priest?"

"Top, the very top!"

A black moth that flew into the fire appeared in the vague sight.

In other sacrificial shrines, when countless people were astonished by the sudden surge of clouds and mist, someone saw the black spot in the clouds above.

"What is that?" someone asked.

"I can't see clearly." The person next to him answered.

"Moth? The kind that flies into fire." someone shouted.

The dazzling sunlight dimmed rapidly, and the sky above Longhu Mountain changed color.
-
Jiangyou, Yingtan, an ordinary rural house.

"Has it started yet?"

My father walked into the room carrying a sprinkler, his shoulders showing dark skin scorched by the sun, his head raised, his face looking bewildered and confused.
"father!"

In the room, the little girl stood up from the sofa. In the middle was a large-screen TV.

The wife roughly knew the current situation in the field. She stood up without saying anything and silently winked at her husband.

The young daughter didn't understand, so she looked up, blinked her eyes and asked expectantly, "Did anyone survive in the greenhouse today?"

"Ah, you can barely hold on for a few more days." The father stepped forward and rubbed his daughter's little head.

The wife took the opportunity to hold her husband and asked quietly: "How is it? Is everything okay in the greenhouse?"

"Maybe." When the husband looked up, his neck was exposed due to sunburn and peeling.

"It's okay. Let's watch TV first. It's been hyped up for so long, maybe there's something big going on."

The husband had no idea what was happening in Longhu Mountain, hundreds of kilometers away from him.
I just vaguely realized what was happening there, about China and the future of this world.

At the same time, countless people in countless places around the world are also waiting. Sitting in front of the TV, some are trembling with anxiety, some are worried, surprised, fascinated...

"Chi, chi chi..."

The TV screen was suddenly covered with snow. It was a very traditional satellite TV that had not been used for a long time.

The husband stood up and prepared to slap it.

"No, Dad, I'm pregnant." the daughter shouted from behind.

An image appeared on the screen, but it was very unclear and unstable, and the blurry picture was hazy...

I changed channels many times, including agriculture and finance, children's channel, military channel, and sports channel, and all of them showed the same picture.

It doesn't seem to be because of the TV.

"The picture was taken of the sky. I could vaguely see it." The wife said, "It seemed like there was something standing in the clouds in the sky."

"Yes, I saw it, too," said the daughter in the back row, and she stuffed a handful of fragrant roasted melon seeds into her father's hand.

"Ah, heaven...that can't be..." The only person who could stand in heaven that the wife could think of was a god.

The screen switched several perspectives, and many Taoists with immortal looks slowly appeared in the screen.

"I don't know, let's wait and see." The husband stepped back, moved the stool, and looked at the still blurry TV screen anxiously.

"But I can't see clearly even this way." The little daughter murmured.

The TV screen suddenly zoomed out, as if it was switched to a drone aerial view.

In the picture, at least thirty cloud pillars rise up into the sky without falling.

Vertical clouds several thousand meters long stretched across the mountains, and the accumulated clouds stretched out to the surrounding areas at a height of several thousand meters.

“Is it a special effect?”

The husband was worried.

Soon, he stood up and looked outside in shock.

The sky outside the house suddenly became gloomy at some point.

…………

If practicing Taoism can really change the celestial phenomena, then there is no doubt that it will immediately increase public recognition.

The authorities obviously did not expect Li Yang to do such a thing, and nervously sent the online live broadcast to Chaozhen Forum.

The rising fog finally reached a peak, and the huge cloud covering several surrounding towns stopped expanding.
Then there was a rumbling sound coming from the clouds and mist, and then it suddenly became louder.

boom!
"Water is abundant, and the fire is extinguished. Today, there will be rain!"

In the dim shadows of the gloomy sky, a voice came from high in the sky.

"Such a thick vapor!"

This unusual situation caused the other six people at the altar to stop.
Qi Qian rinsed his mouth, Chi Yanhong sensed the energy between heaven and earth, and uttered a surprised sound,
"Hey, the wind is blowing, the wind is blowing!"

In front of the Chaozhen Altar, Chen Li discovered that the rising clouds had deviated, and the grass and trees were rustling, and she couldn't help but scream.

"Shit, it's really windy!"

"The sun was completely blocked by clouds!"

As for the square at the foot of the mountain, it was even more chaotic and noisy.

Many people in the town rushed out of their houses like crazy, looked up at the gloomy sky and shouted:
"There's really no sun, there's really no sun!"

"Hahahaha!"

Such intense emotional fluctuations occurred in every place covered by clouds, from Longhu Mountain to Shangqing Town to YT City.

From the drone's perspective, the cool breeze became stronger, and a thick, dark cloud covered almost half of Jiangyou Province.

In the images taken by satellites from various countries, the entire area alternated between light and dark, and was dim and gloomy.

Residential buildings, residential areas, shops, supermarkets, yards... people ran out of all kinds of buildings and onto the streets and roads.

“See? There are really clouds!”

"Are there really immortals in this world?"

"If he can open an altar to gather clouds and pray for rain, then what else can he be but an immortal?"

Soon, waves of strange muffled sounds came from the rolling clouds in the sky, getting closer and closer.

This is Leiyin.

The sky and earth were dark, and the water vapor had reached its peak.

Then--

"Clap!"

On the Longhushan Square, Wang Shuhuan and Chen Li, who were looking up, suddenly shivered and felt a slight chill on the tip of their noses. They wiped their noses with their hands and felt a wet and cool sensation.

One drop, two drops...

In just a short period of time, half of Jiangyou Province, nearly 80,000 square kilometers, was covered with heavy rain...
