Uncle Jiu: I am Chen Yulou, the leader of the Xiangling gang

Chapter 10, Yin Qi Enters the Body

After the meal, the sky gradually darkened.

After saying hello to Uncle Jiu, Chen Yulou returned to his room. After tidying up a bit, he sat cross-legged on the bed and began to practice "Ming Yu Jue".

Because he had been practicing all night these past few days, he felt more energetic in the morning than when he slept, so Chen Yulou didn't plan to sleep either.

In fact, to a certain extent, sleeping is a way to nourish the spirit, and practicing is also a way to nourish the spirit, so practicing is equivalent to another kind of sleep.

"what?"

"Wait, the Qi in Dantian is circulating through a small circle so fast!"

Chen Yulou had just closed his eyes and was concentrating all his strength on circulating the Qi in his Dantian when he suddenly opened his eyes again with a look of shock.

If yesterday, the speed of Qi running through a small circulation was like a person walking, then now the speed of Qi running through a small circulation is like riding a motorcycle.

Is it because of the snake and dragon medicinal wine?
A jar of snake and dragon medicinal wine, although there were four people drinking it, he still drank at least two kilograms.

"wrong!"

"This is……"

Suddenly, Chen Yulou showed a look of surprise. He found that when the Qi in his Dantian was flowing, a kind of energy in the surrounding air was really rushing into his body crazily.

what is this?
Reiki?

"This... is Yin energy?"

"How could the Yin energy enter my body automatically?" Chen Yulou was suddenly shocked.

In particular, he discovered that the originally colorless and invisible energy in his dantian, when it quickly ran through a small circle, actually took on color, just like ink dripping into clear water.

"Could it be that Mingyu Gong has the ability to absorb Yin energy?"

"Or is it that the yin energy in this charity cemetery is too strong, so it affected me when I was practicing Mingyu Gong?" Chen Yulou was a little at a loss for a moment.

Generally, only evil things, ghosts, zombies or evil monks like yin energy.

A righteous cultivator should draw yang energy into his body.

"Should we go ask Uncle Jiu?"

"Forget it, let's wait and see, but I'd better not practice for the time being."

Chen Yulou thought about it and decided not to practice tonight. He would ask Uncle Jiu about the situation after becoming his disciple tomorrow.

Then he lay down to rest.

The next morning, Chen Yulou had just finished washing up in his room when he saw Wencai and Qiu Sheng walking out of the lobby. Wencai complained, "Master is so stingy! We're going to hold the disciple-taking ceremony today, and he only gave us one dollar to buy food and wine."

"Okay, you know our master is a miser." Qiu Sheng said to Wencai while walking and throwing a dollar.

Chen Yulou immediately came out with water for washing his face, looked at Wencai and Qiusheng and said, "Good morning, brothers!"

Wencai and Qiu Sheng hurriedly looked at Chen Yulou.

"Junior brother is up!"

"Good morning, Junior Brother!"

……

The two of them immediately greeted Chen Yulou with a smile.

"Are you two senior brothers going out?" Chen Yulou asked with a smile as he poured the water for washing his face onto the ground.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Sheng immediately said, "Isn't today the day for my junior brother to become a disciple? So the master asked us to go out and buy the five offerings, as well as some wine and food to entertain the two uncles."

In Taoism, when offering sacrifices to gods, five items are often used on the altar: incense, flowers, lamps, water, and fruit. These five offerings are commonly known as the five offerings or five sacrifices.

Incense represents purity, and offering incense to the gods brings peace of mind and body. Flowers represent nature, and offering flowers to the gods brings a beautiful appearance and good health.

Lanterns represent "light". Offering lamps to the gods can bring good fortune, avoid disasters and difficulties, and help ancestors escape from the underworld.

Water represents "wisdom". Providing water to the gods can bring great intelligence and wisdom.

Fruit represents "perfection". If you offer fruit to the gods, you will get good results and avoid being entangled by evil.

They secretly conform to the Five Elements, represent the principles of creation of heaven and earth, and conform to the ways of the gods.

When he became a disciple, he naturally had to set up an incense table and tell the Maoshan ancestors in heaven.

Then, Chen Yulou took out five silver dollars from his pocket and handed them to Qiu Sheng, saying, "Two senior brothers, since you are my disciple, take these five silver dollars and buy some good things."

Wencai and Qiu Sheng were shocked when they saw the five silver dollars that Chen Yulou handed over. But when they thought that their new junior brother was from a wealthy family and that five silver dollars was nothing, they were not so surprised anymore.

Glancing at the five dollars in Chen Yulou's hand, they were a little tempted, but Qiu Sheng still shook his head and said, "Junior brother, no need, Master has already given us the money."

"If we ask for your money again, the master will definitely scold us when we get back."

Seeing the two men about to leave, Chen Yulou hurriedly said, "Two senior brothers, the five offerings are offered to the ancestors in heaven. It's normal for me, a new disciple who is about to enter, to contribute a little money to buy the five offerings."

"Also, I heard Senior Brother Wencai say that Senior Lin only gave one dollar... The five offerings are for the ancestors in heaven, so they can't be less. This is also my humble token of appreciation as a disciple."

"Use the remaining money to buy some good wine and food. Since our two uncles are here, we can't let Senior Lin lose face. What do you think, brothers?"

Immediately, Chen Yulou grabbed Qiu Sheng's hand, placed five silver dollars in his hand, and said with a smile, "Thank you for the trouble, brothers."

Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai exchanged a glance, then glanced at Chen Yulou. Qiu Sheng then put away the five dollars and said, "Since this is from Junior Brother's heart, we don't mind being scolded by Master when we return."

"Yes, yes, junior brother, don't worry, we guarantee that we will buy the best things in town." Wencai also agreed.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, brothers!"

Chen Yulou smiled.

"Junior brother, we're going out!"

"Okay, please drive slowly, brothers."

After watching the two people walk out the door, Chen Yulou put the basin back into the house.

Then came to the lobby.

I saw Uncle Jiu wearing a yellow Taoist robe and setting up an incense table in the lobby.

Seeing Chen Yulou coming in, Uncle Jiu placed the incense burner and said, "Are you up? Did you sleep well last night?"

Chen Yulou immediately replied with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, senior. I slept as peacefully as if I were at home."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Jiu glanced at Chen Yulou and shook his head, saying, "You are just too well-behaved. I like this about you, but I also don't like it very much."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou didn't know how to respond for a moment, and just watched Uncle Jiu set up the incense table.

"Senior, I heard that to become a disciple in Maoshan, one needs to be granted a certificate. Don't I need to go to Maoshan?" Chen Yulou asked after thinking for a while.

Uncle Jiu, who was busy at work, heard this, glanced at Chen Yulou and said with a smile: "It seems that you know something about Maoshan."

"Yes, our Maoshan Sect is one of the three major talisman sects, along with Longhu Mountain and Gezhao Mountain, known as the Three Mountain Talisman Sects. At the same time, our Maoshan Sect is also a disciple of the Zhengyi Sect, so anyone who enters the sect needs to be given a talisman."

"The ordination of a Taoist priest is an important way for the Zhengyi Taoist priests to inherit their rank. It signifies that the Taoist priests can enter the heavenly court, possess Taoist rank and authority, and be able to summon ghosts and gods and practice Taoist magic."

"However, the Maoshan Sect is now losing talent. Of the three palaces and five temples, the three palaces still exist, but of the five temples, only the Qianyuan Temple remains."

"I am one of the disciples of the master of Qianyuan Temple."
