Taoist chanting

The look and effect of the whole painting is simply amazing.

Yun Qiuhe and the little fox girl stared at the screen in admiration,?This painting is full of energy!

Not tactful, not soft, but tough and fierce, giving people the shock of being majestic.

The old cripple who said he couldn't sit for a long time, after drinking a glass of Bilu wine, his waist didn't hurt and his legs didn't hurt, so he came over to take a look.

He grinned and said, "Brother Feng drew the old man so fiercely!"

He actually likes it wholeheartedly, this is how he was when he was young, with a fierce and fierce face, no one would accept it, Brother Feng is really amazing, he can draw all of this, and said: "Brother Feng, I can keep this painting for safekeeping ?"

Zhang Wenfeng signed under the portrait.

Since the last time he painted "into the subtleties", his state of mind has improved, and his painting skills have improved further.

The improvement of his state of mind also helps him to observe trees, flowers and plants in a more subtle way, so that he can experience a different natural world and slowly integrate into his own practice, but it still takes time to accumulate.

He is currently in a groping stage of "plausible but not real".

When he figured out some doubts, his cultivation speed should become extremely fast again.

Yun Qiuhe hurriedly said: "Uncle Lame, I will draw another one for you next time. This painting is a demonstration made by the temple master. I have to keep it to learn from time to time." The cripple: "Save this bottle of Bilu wine and drink it slowly, thank you for your hard work."

"Not hard, not hard."

The old cripple took the wine bottle and was pushed out of the tea house by Yun Qiuhe in a daze.

Yun Qiuhe smiled like a fox who just stole a chicken. She wanted to keep all of Zhang Guanzhu's fan paintings, because the first painting felt the freshest, and the second painting might look the same on the surface. Actually quite different.

Just because Zhang Guanzhu draws so well, she has to spend a lot of verbal battles every time.

Why is it that no one rushes to ask for the portrait she drew for others?

Alas, I am so tired.

Spray the glue on the screen, and when it is completely dry, a rune light flies in from the outside.

Yun Qiuhe took the yellow talisman, checked it for a while, and said with a smile: "Guanzhu Zhang, do you have time tomorrow? My senior brother sent a letter saying that the Dharma Protector agreed with you to serve as the Patrol Envoy of Keqing in Zhoucheng, and you can go through the formalities tomorrow."

She didn't expect it to be so smooth. The Ke Qing of the Daolu branch in Zhoucheng is a very important post.

It is not possible to become one if you want to become one if you have a gradually weakened state of cultivation. There are many conditions that need to be examined.

The little fox girl diligently boiled water and poured tea at the coffee table, and cleaned the seasonal fruits brought by Yun Qiuhe.

Zhang Wenfeng had already washed his hands, he put down the teacup and said with a smile, "So soon, I'll go tomorrow by myself, you don't have to go back and forth."

Yun Qiuhe was happy to be able to help with one thing, and said with a smile, "How can it be done? I will also be the guide of the host, and take you around the shops in Fangshi. I will stay in the Taoist temple tonight, and I will spend the night with Sister Yue. Let's chat, let's go tomorrow morning."

Zhang Wenfeng could only say: "Mr. Mo will go to Zhoucheng together."

Mo Ye never saw anyone, and Shenlong couldn't see the end. He promised to ask Mo Ye to go with him when he went out.

The little fox girl hurriedly said, "I want to go too."

"You have to tell your sister, it's no use talking to us."

Yun Qiuhe rubbed Xin Xing's hair, and the blow made the little fox demon dejected. It was impossible for Xin Yue to agree to the little fox demon going out far.

Things were settled, Yun Qiuhe copied the charcoal portrait of the old cripple while feeling fresh.

After drinking the tea, Zhang Wenfeng got up to look at the paintings of the two of them for a while, gave some pointers, and went out to the spiritual grassland in the field, where the weeds in the middle absorbed the nutrients of wood gas and supplemented them to the strong spiritual grass.

He inspected the vitality of the spirit grass, observed the texture of the leaves, and took out a small wooden board, put white paper on it, used black stones to outline a part of a spirit grass, magnified it several times, and drew the fine veins of the leaves.

He has already accumulated a thick stack of line drawing manuscripts, including spiritual grass, maize spiritual plants, spiritual peaches, plums, etc.

He drew repeatedly in order to compare and observe the differences before and after.

The autumn wind is blowing, and the yellow leaves are falling.

Early the next morning, the three of them headed east along the official road.

Mo Ye didn't like flying, so Zhang Wenfeng walked with him.

Yun Qiuhe didn't bother to ask why, she was not very interested in that mysterious and weird woman, so of course she couldn't fly in the air alone.

At the beginning of the afternoon, the three of them came to Zhoucheng.

The bustle and bustle of Dacheng is not comparable to that of county towns.

There are two rows of gatekeepers at the city gate, but they don't know how to check their identity, tokens and guides.

Yun Qiuhe took him for a long time, and came to the Daolu Branch of Zhoucheng, which occupies a large area in the city.

After Mo Ye entered the door, she separated from the two of them. She went straight to the library and flipped through the books as if she had entered her own home. The formation restriction had no effect on her.

Yun Qiuhe and Zhang Guanzhu came to a room in the south building and found her senior brother Mo Xiufeng who was waiting for her.

"Guanzhu Zhang, long time no see, well!"

Before Mo Xiufeng came to Zhoucheng with He Guangjun last year to take office, he stopped by the Daolu Branch of Xiling County, and as a notary, he saw Zhang Guanzhu, who was weak at the beginning, fighting swords with He Crazy, and was deeply impressed at that time, secretly feeling After almost a year, Zhang Guanzhu's cultivation level will catch up with him.

"I've met Fellow Daoist Mo, I'm causing trouble to Fellow Daoist Mo!"

"No trouble, the Taoist protector appreciates you. I heard that you applied for the Patrol Envoy of Ke Qing, so I agreed immediately. Let's go, let's go to see Protector Xie first, it's getting late."

Mo Xiufeng vaguely reminded that the prefectures are different from each other, so don't be so late next time.

The Daolu branch in Zhoucheng has the principal and the law protector, who manage the Daolu branch in every county in a state, and have great power.

Walk along the corridor to the east, pass through a formation portal, and come to a two-story attic courtyard with carved beams and painted buildings. Mo Xiufeng went in to report, and then came out quickly, signaling Zhang Wenfeng to go in with him, while Yun Qiuhe was waiting outside.

Mo Xiufeng went out immediately after meeting the Dharma Protector Xie Moling who was sitting behind the cloud table.

Xie Moling wore a black Taoist robe with a long beard, smiled and ordered the respectful Zhang Wenfeng to move a chair beside him, sat down and talked, and said: "A few days ago, I heard Yi Weishu talk about you, and he told you Gao Yi also wrote a letter to recommend you, saying that you are calm and capable, and you are worthy of a great responsibility. I wanted to invite you to have a chat, so you asked someone to come to me. We are also destined, so we don’t need to be here. Restraint, let go of the conversation."

Zhang Wenfeng came to a sudden, no wonder it went so smoothly, there were two big bosses behind him to take care of him.

As the saying goes, there are people in the court who are good at being officials.

Chapter 263

About two minutes later, Zhang Wenfeng walked out of the gate of the courtyard, smiled and nodded to Yun Qiuhe who was waiting for him outside.

Take out a shield-shaped dark gold identity card, engraved with a round gossip pattern on the front, a "Tao" character in the middle, half-floating swords on the left and right sides, and dark landscape patterns on the back,?Two lines of words "Da'an Nanjiangzhou Supervisor Fengshi, Guest Qing Zhang Wenfeng" are engraved in seal.

Yun Qiuhe was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Congratulations! I'll set up a table tonight, let's celebrate."

The Daolu Branch of Zhoucheng has Patrol Envoys, Wind Observing Envoys, and Wind Envoys. Their status is almost the same, but their scope of jurisdiction is different, right?But the supervisor has a wide range of supervisory responsibilities,?The status is slightly higher than half a level.

Above the three envoys of the state city are the guardians and court officials, and then there are law enforcement guards and Taoist soldiers.

She didn't expect Zhang Guanzhu to get the status of a guest prison supervisor after chatting with Xie Hufa. If the one-year inspection period passes and the reputation is good, she can apply for an official supervisor. This position is very rare.

Zhang Wenfeng put away his ID card, walked outside, and said: "I have received my heart, I don't have time to have a banquet today, I have to go back overnight, I can't stay longer, when I come back to Zhoucheng next time, you invite Mo Daoyou and He Daoyou, I invite everyone Get together."

The rivers and lakes are not only about fighting and killing, right?More sophistication.

He felt more and more that in a country of cultivating immortals with many Taoist temples, big and small, and orderly,?Networks and friends are important, and the practice world is more realistic than ordinary people, right?No certain potential and outstanding ability,?Big sects and masters will not pay attention.

Even if you have the ability, you have to properly participate in the duties of the Daolu branch, and you can't eat aloof and aloof.

Before there is a certain amount of power and background, if you close your door and retreat from the world, you will only gradually decline.

Immortal cultivation resources have to be obtained by oneself, the further you go, the more complex the resources you need, and you can only rely on meditation to absorb spiritual energy, no matter how good your aptitude is, you will not be able to reach the golden core state in a lifetime.

The mountain god warned him to take as little pills as possible in the early stage of cultivation, for the sake of breaking the situation later.

To reach a certain level of cultivation, one must take high-level pills and heavenly materials and earthly treasures to break through.

Yun Qiuhe heard that Zhang Guanzhu had taken the task, looked at the sun, and said, "It's still early, why don't you go to the shop in Fangshi?"

Zhang Wenfeng said with a smile: "That's exactly what I mean, we'll leave the city before dark."

Walking to the south building, he went in to say hello to Mo Xiufeng, declined Mo Xiufeng's warm offer of a treat, made an appointment to come back to Zhoucheng next time to treat him to thank him, and said his goodbyes after a while of polite words.

Two people walking on the corridor,?Yun Qiuhe just asked, "Where did that Mr. Mo go?"

Then he saw Mo Ye walking out of the library calmly,?The formation behind him restrains the waves from rippling.

She couldn't help guessing, this mysterious woman who likes to wear hairpin flowers on her head barefoot,?The identity is extraordinary.

Except for the monks of this academy who can freely enter and leave the library of the Daolu branch of the state city, the monks from the county below are not of high enough level to easily go in. The monks from other states can only enter the monks of the third envoy level and above.

It is difficult for a monk without an official status to take a single step in the Daolu branch of Zhoucheng, let alone the library.

In other words, Mr. Mo is at least a monk of the third envoy level from other states.

Zhang Wenfeng was no longer surprised, and whispered a few words to Mo Ye.

A group of three walked out of the Daolu branch, walked two streets, and arrived at the famous Fangshi Puzi Street in Zhoucheng.

Passing through a very thin layer of restrictions to prevent mortals from entering by mistake, Yun Qiuhe introduced in a low voice the antique shops on both sides of the street. Shop and so on.

If the planning is done well, it will be convenient for the monks who come from all over the world to choose the treasures they are interested in, or sell items.

Naturally, the wide Qingshi street cannot be overcrowded and quiet.

Zhang Wenfeng selectively went in and out of the refinery, elixirs, and classics shops. Today's time is limited, so let's get a general understanding of the market first.

He bought a bottle of detoxification elixir, a bottle of talisman ink, a few stacks of good talisman paper, a few manuscript books on spiritual plants and medicinal materials, and it didn't cost much spirit stones.

Seeing Mo Ye staring at the books on the shelf, he asked, "Which one do you like?"

Mo Ye pointed to a dilapidated ancient book lying flat on the shelf.

Zhang Wenfeng asked the clerk the price, took out twelve spirit stones and bought them directly, and handed Mo Ye the ancient book called "Xuanhe Xishuijing", which lifted the ban.

Mo Ye casually flipped through it, handed it back to Zhang Wenfeng, and said, "This is the most valuable book in the shop, let's go."

Zhang Wenfeng put the book away with a smile. Mo Ye said that it was the most valuable, so there must be a reason for it. When he was free, he searched for the secrets in the book.

The buddy smiled veiledly, and a torn book with missing characters and missing pages was finally sold.

Yun Qiuhe turned a blind eye to Zhang Guanzhu's prodigal behavior, and continued walking with the two of them.

Under the shade of the trees on the side of the road, there were seven or eight people setting up stalls, and some items were scattered here and there, including talismans, medicinal materials, and some old objects that looked old.

Zhang Wenfeng looked it over, stopped in front of a young man's booth at the far end, pointed to a small pile of scattered seeds next to miscellaneous items, big and small, shapes and colors, and asked, "How do you sell this? Don't call it false high." , not many people are interested in this stuff.”

The young man was well dressed, and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist is a man of knowledge, here are seven kinds of spiritual plants and elixir seeds, each of which has a different price, like this 'Zixu Shen' seed, one spirit stone and three seeds; The star flower seed is one with two spiritual energy stones; the Liuying spiritual fruit seed is one with one spiritual energy stone, the price is absolutely fair, no one can deceive anyone."

Zhang Wenfeng said: "Your price is too expensive, I have to try it out."

The young man stretched out his hand to indicate yes, and the real buyer is the one who negotiates the price. He said with a smile, "You get what you pay for with a spirit stone. Nowadays, no Taoist sect would be willing to sell the spirit plant seeds."

Yun Qiuhe saw Guanzhu Zhang checking carefully, worried that he would be fooled, and sound transmission reminded: "These spiritual plant seeds look rare, but they actually collected them from some excavated ruins, and most of them are lifeless. , even if there is still some vitality, it is extremely difficult to survive."

Zhang Wenfeng nodded slightly to show that he knew, picked out more than 30 stones, took out ten spirit stones, and handed them to the young man.

The man smiled and flattered: "The Taoist has good eyesight!"

Zhang Wenfeng asked the names of the seeds one by one. Relying on his unique perception of the vitality of wood qi, he picked out all the seeds that still had some vitality or could be saved from the pile.

At that time, through his "attraction" cultivation of secret techniques, as long as one or two of them can survive, they will make a lot of money.

He is relying on his ability to pick up leaks, and others can't play.

Putting away the seeds, after shopping the whole street, it was getting late, so I said goodbye to Yun Qiuhe.

After the two left the city, they headed towards Xiahe County.

No outsiders were present, and it was night. Mo Ye walked faster than ordinary fading monks. After more than an hour, the two arrived at the southeast border of Xiahe County. Zhang Wenfeng took out the simple map that Xie Hufa gave him, Determine the position of Baihuling according to the comparison.

Xiahe County Daolu Branch established a checkpoint at the foot of Baihuling Mountain, and monks guarded it day and night.

In the long night, two law enforcement guards on duty lit a bonfire at the mountain pass, set up a stone platform, and roasted two hares that had been fattened up in autumn and removed their viscera and fur.

The two who were chatting with each other in a low voice suddenly noticed a strange noise coming from the nearby woods, they hurriedly got up and drew their swords, and asked vigilantly:

"Who? For what?"

A ray of cold wind rustled from the ground to their bodies, and the two felt their hair stand on end, and their backs felt chills.

Dust filled the air, and the bonfire went out all of a sudden.

The two disappeared into the moonless darkness.

Two roasted hares inserted on bamboo sticks exude a tempting aroma.

Chapter 264 Please God Appear

The rustling movement blown by the cold wind woke up the monks who were meditating in several wooden sheds tens of feet away.
