Chapter 64 064 [Shangluo]

"Mastering the Five Thunders is called Thunder Method, but it is actually the art of the key points of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements.

One can freely control the thunder energy which is transformed from the ten most common spiritual energies in the world: Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui.

When this technique is cultivated to its ultimate level, one can understand yin and yang, gather the five elements, and fully realize the changes in the birth and death of spiritual energy."

Now that all the chores for the day are done, it’s time to practice Taoism every day.

Chen Sheng recited the general principles of the Five Thunders several times in his mind, and then lay down on the soft couch in the secret room.

Crackling!

Dense electric lights burst out from the Taoist imprint in his Yin Shen and his physical kidneys, converging together violently and finally merging into a clear and fiery stream of water.

The running water flows along the body, cleansing and moisturizing every corner of the body and the soul without damaging the clothes or the soft couch.

This is the Guiren water mine built by Chen Sheng.

First, it takes half a year to condense Ren Thunder from the kidneys, then it takes another half a year to stimulate Gui Thunder from the Yin God, and then it takes a year to harmonize the yin and yang of the two thunders.

Under the continuous promotion of the fourth-level Taoist magic, the Yin God continued to transform and was promoted to the Wind Tribulation Realm just this year.

Don’t think that “Mastering the Five Thunders” can only produce one kind of thunder method.

Guiren Water Thunder is an orthodox Taoist technique. When in a state of tranquility, it can cleanse the inner and outer demons in the Yin spirit, keeping the mind from being confused by external things, and also has the effect of refining the body.
When it is violent, it can turn into a vicious mine that can penetrate any hole. It is best at breaking through seemingly tight defenses. Under the bombardment of the mine, everything can be turned into dust.

He cultivated both internal and external skills and was good at attacking. Although he started practicing the art the latest, he had already surpassed Chen Sheng and ranked first among his many Taoist arts.

At this time, under the nourishment of the Guiren water mines, Chen Sheng calmly experienced the subtle changes in his body and mind, put all the trivial matters in the outside world behind his mind, and fell into a deep sleep without any burden.

Conspiracy, calculation, power, and wealth are all external things. Only cultivation is the foundation. Those things are not worth his long-term concern.

Like dewdrops dripping on branches and leaves, and clear springs nourishing the soil, it filled Chen Sheng's body and mind, creating a good, dreamless sleep.

During this process, bits of green seemed to emerge in his liver, and a faint blue condensed in the blank space of his Yin spirit.

Water gives birth to wood, which means the Jia and Yi wood thunder is being nurtured in Chen Sheng's body.

His whole body was shining with mottled water light, illuminating the dark secret room and also shining on a small flowerpot that was placed there specially.

Under the light of the water, the seeds shallowly buried in the soil slowly germinated, and a bunch of small sprouts broke through the soil.

……

Zhangjiabao, in the guest room.

A dim light illuminated two faces.

The bearded face of Cui Yi, the city gate Sima, and the beardless white face of Miao Si, the eunuch, were sitting solemnly in front of a wooden table.

The two men carefully opened a long wooden box on the table and took out a golden scroll.

Looking at the thing in front of him, which was woven from high-quality silk, with a white jade axis and embroidered with cranes, lions, and cirrus cloud patterns on the back, Miao Si couldn't help but raise his voice.

"General Cui, where did you get the imperial edict?"

You should know that as the final signature of the emperor's important edicts, the raw materials used to make the imperial edicts are strictly controlled. Even if the finished imperial edicts need to be invalidated due to dirt, typos, order changes, etc., the originals are not allowed to be destroyed and must be kept in the warehouse.

The current emperor Liu Hong has no power and cannot even issue an imperial edict himself. Where did Cui Yi, the emperor's confidant, get this thing?

In response to Miao Si's question, Cui Yi began to explain.

In the first year of Jianning, General Dou wanted to execute eunuchs Cao Jie, Wang Fu, and others. Cao Jie panicked and held Your Majesty hostage, closing the palace gates and forcing the officials of the Secretariat to write an edict appointing Wang Fu as the Imperial Guards.

The scene was extremely chaotic, with many blank imperial edicts scattered on the ground. Your Majesty took the opportunity to pick up one. After this turmoil, the general and the Grand Tutor were killed, and the Empress Dowager was placed under house arrest in Yuntai. At that time, the court was in chaos, so naturally no one would look for a lost imperial edict.

Six months later, His Majesty sent the imperial edict out of the palace through a palace maid and temporarily placed it in my hands in case of emergency."

Cui Yi did not say what the emergency situation would be that would require the imperial edict, but Miao Si could probably guess that this was probably a life-saving straw for the emperor to use in his dying struggle.

Cui Yi opened the imperial edict and saw that there were silver five-clawed dragons embroidered on both ends of the front of the edict. The content only had the eight-character opening line "The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, decrees" and the seal of "Emperor's Treasure" at the end. The rest of the edict was blank.

In addition, the word "冯" (Feng) at the beginning of the imperial edict was embroidered with needle and thread.

"Before this trip, His Majesty sent me a message, saying that if I could ever meet a true immortal, he would definitely ask me to appoint him as the Imperial Master."

Miao Si's expression changed: "How can this be possible!"

The position of the Imperial Master was higher than that of the Three Dukes. If Liu Hong, an emperor without real power, dared to make such an appointment privately and bring the Imperial Master to Luoyang, he would be putting himself in danger.

This will inevitably infuriate the ministers, and they won’t know how to end it.

"You absolutely cannot do this. His Majesty's order to me is to find out if the Great Sage Master can refine a pill that can enhance his cultivation and help him advance to the Qi Transformation Realm.

All we can confirm now is that the Great Sage Master possesses the magical power to control the wind and rain, but we don’t know if he can help others break through.

How could you risk His Majesty's safety so easily?"

Miao Si tried to grab the imperial edict directly, but Cui Yi easily dodged it.

"Good! Good! Good! In the entire Yanhan Dynasty, only you, Eunuch Miao, are loyal to the emperor and patriotic.

Didn’t you see that I didn’t take out the imperial edict during the day?”

Cui Yi took a step back with the imperial edict, glared at Miao Si unhappily, and then continued.

"But Your Majesty is trapped in the deep palace, surrounded by wolves and tigers all day long, which is also very dangerous.

Eunuch Miao had seen the sky covered with dark clouds when the Great Sage Master performed his magic today.

I just feel that with a demigod like the Great Sage as the Imperial Preceptor, even if he cannot help Your Majesty break through.

It will surely save Your Majesty from danger and bring peace to the world."

These words made Miao Si stand there in a daze. After his expression changed for a long time, he murmured softly.

"This... this is a serious matter. Let me think about it. Let me think about it."

……

The next day, early morning.

When the first ray of sunlight shone on the earth, Chen Sheng in the secret room woke up naturally.

After leisurely eating his breakfast, he walked towards the most prosperous area of ​​Zhangjiabao with a clear purpose.

From a long distance away, one could "see" the figures of Cui Yi and Miao Si.

When they saw Chen Sheng appear, they quickly ran to Chen Sheng, kowtowed three times, and Miao Si held the imperial edict high in his hands and sang.

"On behalf of the Emperor, I respectfully wish you the best of health!
Your Majesty observed the stars at night and learned that a true immortal of supreme virtue had appeared in Julu, so you specially ordered me to search for the immortal and leave the position of National Master vacant for him.

Please, Immortal, have mercy on us and move the carriage to Luoyang. Your Majesty has been eagerly awaiting this for a long time."
