From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 68: The Wind and the Cry [Please read and vote for me~]

Li Yang pondered for a moment, took out the green jade raw stone from the temple, and cut out a thin and flat jade bead with the Moon Essence Wheel in his hand.

Gao Miao did not dare to delay and prepared all kinds of materials carefully.

Picking up the pen again, Li Yang quickly discovered the difference. Compared with simple talisman paper, writing on the jade pendant made his spiritual energy output much more stable.

Less than halfway through the drawing, the output of spiritual energy suddenly increased, and cold sweat broke out on Li Yang's forehead. The difficulty of micro-manipulation between spiritual energy and brush and ink also increased several times.

Before Li Yang could finish painting, the cinnabar ink and spiritual energy on the jade pendant suddenly began to stir, and with a bang, the entire jade pendant was shattered into pieces.

"thorn"

Li Yang was protected by the Golden Light Spell so he was not seriously injured. Gao Miao, who was standing next to him, was a weakened version of him, and was only a little embarrassed by the explosion.

Gao Miao looked at Li Yang weakly. Li Yang looked embarrassed. How come drawing a talisman would cause such a big noise?
Green jade is precious, so Li Yang did not dare to try again. Instead, he began to carefully recall the time when he drew the Xingyun Talisman.

At first he suspected that the little girl Chi Yanhong had given him a method to add fake drawings, but Chi Yanhong was in seclusion now, so he couldn't disturb him.

"There are two other possibilities. One is that the level of my [Molu Talisman Book] is too low. The awakened state also says that it only increases the success rate of white-level talismans. This Xingyun Talisman looks very high-end, and you don't even know what level it is."

"The second reason is that we don't have enough materials. The spiritual energy has just revived, and the spirituality of the materials we have is not enough to draw a high-level talisman like the Xingyun Talisman."

Li Yang secretly figured out that the quality of the green jade was okay, but the pen, cinnabar ink, and other common items purchased online were okay for drawing simple talismans such as the Evil-Suppressing and God-Calming Talisman and the Five-Element Life-Preserving Talisman, but he was at a loss when drawing the Xingyun Talisman.

Li Yang immediately discovered another problem. The level of the Five-Element Life-Preserving Talisman should be the same as that of the Evil-Suppressing and Spirit-Calming Talisman, which can only increase the proficiency by 500. To upgrade the [Molu Talisman Heart], a proficiency of 600 is required. In other words, he needs to master at least one simple talisman to successfully upgrade.

Li Yang felt a little overwhelmed. Seeing that Gao Miao's clothes were torn by the broken jade and looked very miserable, he drew two five-yuan life-saving talismans for him and chased him to the front mountain.

Gao Miao was holding three talismans in his pocket. Although he looked miserable, he was already very happy in his heart. These spiritual talismans made by Master Li at will were so functional and effective that they were considered immortal items to him. In the outside world, one could not get one no matter how high the price was.

In less than two days at Baiyun Mountain, Gao Miao, a former fighter for modern materialism, had already spoken the words "yin energy" and "lingqi" very fluently without any sense of incongruity.

When he reached the front mountain, a toad and a squirrel who were playing suddenly stopped and stared at him. The mean fat squirrel even twisted its butt in a humane way to provoke him, looking like it really deserved a beating.

Gao Miao pretended not to see anything and walked around the two bullies with his head lowered pitifully.

Gao Miao felt extremely bitter. He did not provoke the golden toad after being warned by Li Yang, but yesterday this cheap squirrel came to the vegetable garden to steal tomatoes and was caught on the spot.

The squirrel refused to correct its behavior after being caught red-handed, and even shook its head at him! Gao Miao thought to himself, if I can't beat the golden toad, how can I beat a fat squirrel like you who only knows how to act cute?
Then hit!
Then Gao Miao understood a truth: this evil Baiyun Mountain cannot even be viewed with common sense by animals. Then, he humiliated himself by being butted in the head by the squirrel and accepted the fact that he was at the bottom of the food chain in Baiyun Mountain...

Li Yang performed Taoist health-preserving exercises several times. At noon when the Yang Qi was strong, he meditated and practiced the Yangwu Shiqi method. Time passed quickly.

After lunch, Li Yang opened his phone to take a break, only to find that there were several more messages on his phone. He didn't have many friends, and he didn't chat with them much, so who would send him messages?
When I opened WeChat, an avatar with a lotus pond in it lit up. When I opened it, it turned out to be Zheng Zhaoyuan from Yuqing Temple, who I hadn’t contacted for a long time.

This old practitioner may not chat on his mobile phone often, his writing is half classical and half literary, and the messages are intermittent.

"The immortal way values ​​life and saves people without limit. I hope you are doing well, fellow Daoist Li."

"Recently, Mount Qingcheng held a Luotian Grand Ceremony to pray for peace and prosperity for the country and good weather. Because the ceremony was postponed, a member of the Taoist Association personally went to the temple to deliver invitations. I wonder if your Baiyun lineage has received the invitation?"

Li Yang thought for a moment and recalled the Luotian Grand Ceremony, which was one of the most solemn activities in Taoist fasting and offering ceremonies. Not only was the ceremony grand and the duration long, but the sky in the salvation area had to be covered with five-colored cloth. The manpower and material resources consumed were more than ten times that of ordinary ceremonies. Ordinary Taoist temples simply did not have the qualifications or financial resources to undertake this.

Baiyun Temple did receive an invitation three months ago. Li Yang opened the picture sent by Zheng Zhaoyuan, which showed an invitation with gold-plated cloud patterns. After a quick comparison, Li Yang found something wrong.

First of all, the dates are different. The invitation I received three months ago said September 18th, while this one says September 26th. Another thing is that in Zheng Zhaoyuan's invitation letter, the signature changed from "Shuchuan Taoist Association" to "Huaguo Taoist Association" and "Ethnic and Religious Affairs Bureau".

When we think about the fact that the Luotian Grand Ceremony was postponed to Baiyun Mountain without receiving any notice, the information here becomes quite interesting.

Li Yang thought for a moment and replied, "In addition to the invitation letter, did your sect receive any special information?"

Zheng Zhaoyuan of Yuqing Temple was overjoyed when he saw Li Yang finally replied to his message.

Somehow, the authorities suddenly intervened and rectified the Taoist lineages in various places. The force was unprecedented since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and some Taoist temples with fake Taoist priests were severely cracked down. According to Li Yang, he was strolling in the mountains when he suddenly received an official notice saying that the dirty things in Yuqing Temple had been cleared out, and he was asked to return to the temple as soon as possible to rectify it.

The confused old Taoist priest returned to the temple and immediately received a notice about the Luotian Dajiao.

All the sects, big and small, across the country were in a state of panic. Why did the authorities suddenly crack down so severely? They asked each other for information and found that the leaders of the Shangqing Sect, Longhushan, Longmen, Beidi, and other leading sects of the Zhengyi Quanzhen Sect had all obeyed the order and come to the capital. For a time, there were many different opinions.

But Zheng Zhaoyuan was different. He had seen Li Yang perform Taoism with his own eyes and knew what changes had taken place in the world. Then, when he saw that the official had intervened for the first time and made such a big fuss about the Luotian Dajiao, he immediately came to Li Yang to get information.

"They specifically told me to lead the outstanding disciples and scriptures in the temple, saying that they would hold a sutra lecture after the Luotian Grand Ceremony."

When Li Yang heard this, he instantly understood a little bit. The official speed was indeed fast enough. They were going to integrate the Taoist lineages of the world.

Since the revival of spiritual energy has become a foregone conclusion, it is better to take the initiative into our hands and take control of those who may be able to cultivate Taoism and all kinds of Taoist scriptures.

Li Yang thought about it for a while and understood why Baiyun Temple was deliberately excluded...
