Taoist chanting

Chapter 420 Be polite and don't suffer

On the fifth day after the return of Demon Slayer, that is, the first day of November, heavy snow fell from the sky.

Snowflakes were swirling one after another, sweeping all over the sky, and the world was boundless.

The disciples who did not go out read, practiced, copied scriptures, or learned basic runes, medicine, playing the piano, calligraphy, etc. Compared with the days when they were apprentices, they were more relaxed and leisurely.

They are not very old, and there is a mountain leader who always supervises them, and no one dares to really relax.

I heard from the host that being alone is a way of cultivating the mind, and the state of mind must be sharpened and wiped from time to time.

Practice is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat.

If you are lazy, you will easily lose your ambition.

The temple master, the second senior brother, Yue Anyan and Tu Kun seldom sit and drink tea together in the tea room. These days, Yue Anyan spends a lot of time practicing in the new water mansion under the water.

She did not hide the practice place prepared for her by her apprentice Yang Shuilan.

Just yesterday, with the help of the "cold water" well in the water mansion, she raised her cultivation level by one level.

The second senior brother arranged for the disciples to go out, and even went to Xiahe County and Qianyan County to pay a visit to the two masters of the Daolu branch. These days, they are very busy. Now it is freezing outside, let the donkey love to go out The prodigal patrol escorted him, and he also took time to steal half a day's leisure.

Tu Kun looked lazily, and said: "The east, northeast, and north, as well as the northwest, west, and all the wasteland near the town have all set up formations. After a few days, you have to be free, sir. It is enough to embed the individual formations in the area into the large formation of the mountain gate, so that they can be connected into a whole."

Zhang Wenfeng said "hard work" with a smile, and then asked: "Second senior brother, how is the planning of housing construction and land reclamation in the wasteland and mountains going?"

The second senior brother took out a stack of drawings from the Nawu space and explained them one by one.

Which mountains will be built with houses and pavilions, which places will be opened up for cultivation, and which places will be reclaimed to be spiritual fields, medicine gardens, orchards or spiritual grasslands, etc. He went to the county town specially, and invited two monk friends who know how to build, after on-site surveys Drawn out plans.

It is related to the future development of Xianlingguan, so it cannot be careless.

After looking through all the drawings, Zhang Wenfeng was quite satisfied, exchanged opinions with the three of them, and made a final decision.

The site has expanded several times, and manpower has to be recruited for management, and many complicated things will be arranged by the second brother.

After talking about business, drink tea and chat about chores.

At another table by the window, two Green Weavers, Jingmei and Hu Qiang'er, were playing a weird "grass and wood chess", using magic to form a small phantom scene, and the three little guys had a great time playing.

Zhang Wenfeng heard that Tu Kun said that Le Zi could bear hardships and his cultivation was progressing smoothly, so he asked a few more questions.

There was a flash of talisman light outside, Zhang Wenfeng reached out to catch the communication talisman hovering in front of him, checked it briefly, and said with a smile: "Yun Qiuhe said, He Guangjun cultivated his state of mind with the sword of 'Human Sword Unity', and advanced to the realm of freedom." One sentence: "It's amazing!"

His sword repair mentality is a trick.

And He Guangjun has already reached the sword state of "harmony with the body", although he has not comprehended the third level of sword state "harmony with the mind", he is probably getting closer. "Fit with the body" has a unique insight.

The unity of human and sword is very much considering the courage of sword repair and the purity of sword heart.

It is definitely impossible for him to do it, and he does not pursue the way of the sword.

Tu Kun nodded: "A real swordsman's combat power is far superior to that of the same level, but it is easy to break just after passing, and there are also disadvantages."

The second senior brother smiled and said: "Everyone has their own way of practice. I feel that I am not suitable for fighting and killing. I am an idle person who fights divination every day, deduces calculations, and does trivial chores. I think it is very good and my heart is wide open." Satisfied."

Tu Kun suddenly tilted his head, looked at him with admiration, picked up the teacup and said, "There is a way under the monk's feet, and there are even many ways. It can be blind, but it is a great skill to be able to see the way you want to go. Shanzhang, I respect you!"

Those who test the sky's secrets first test their own body, and the divination masters who have already shown their talents are really not to be underestimated.

Throughout the ages, monks in the practice world have judged heroes by their combat power, and their auxiliary skills, unless they have been cultivated to a very good level, will be inferior to others.

At the stage of getting weaker, he gave up the cultivation of combat power and took the hexagram teacher as a profession. The choice of the second senior brother made Tu Kun admire.

This is a kind of great wisdom, but also a kind of advanced confidence.

"You can't be a land protector, please!"

The second senior brother smiled as usual, they lightly touched the teacup and took a sip of tea instead of wine.

Zhang Wenfeng and Yue Anyan also brought tea cups to drink with them.

After chatting for half an hour, the temple master and Tu Kun walked down the Qingzheng courtyard in the snow, returned to the back mountain, and came to the underground hall where the bronze bell was placed in the underground cave. Qiang'er didn't even tell.

Take a look at the bronze bells that are shielded by layers of formations, and there is a thin layer of yin and cold air leaking out of the bronze bells.

Zhang Wenfeng took out the small stone figurines in the bottle and put them on the ground. In a short while, the cold air imprisoned in the formation was absorbed by the stone figurines. It was Tu Kun's suggestion to use the cold air to nourish the dead ghost talisman.

Even if there is only one chance to take the place of death, the shadow of the shadow soldiers inside the stone warriors must be raised to have outstanding combat power.

This is to prepare for a rainy day, and when you meet a ruthless character, you can also avenge yourself on the spot.

Walking out of the underground hall and returning to his own cave, Zhang Wenfeng lit incense candles, placed water and wine offerings, and softly called out to the dark energy ring on his left index finger, which can be used twice: "Master Bai Wuchang, please!"

His temporary ghost status has actually expired for several days.

He had never seen Bai Wuchang come to him, so he took the initiative to invite Bai Wuchang, and there must be an explanation for the matter.

A moment later, there was an invisible fluctuation in the air, and Bai Wuchang's Mohu figure quietly appeared.

Taking a deep breath, he inhaled the fragrant mist that filled the room, together with the invisible breath of water and wine offerings, Bai Wuchang smiled and said, "You are welcome Zhang Daoyou!" Then he clasped his fists and said, "Congratulations on breaking through the realm! "

He can see Zhang Guanzhu's current cultivation base at a glance, although the cultivation base of the Freedom Realm is nothing in his eyes.

But in just over three years, how many people in the world can make this progress?

The lucky one who received the elder's attention did not dare to have other thoughts except secretly envious.

Zhang Wenfeng returned the gift, exchanged a few polite words, seeing that Bai Wuchang didn't talk about his temporary errand, said: "The three-year period agreed at the beginning has expired, I don't know if Fellow Daoist Bai will take back the Ring of Dark Qi, or is there any arrangement?"

Bai Wuchang smiled dryly and said "Oh", seeing that he was fooled, he said: "I will give you the Ming Qi ring as a souvenir, and it will be more convenient if you want to open a temporary ghost gate to catch ghosts in the future. As for the three-year agreement, well, it will be as usual Come as agreed. Please trouble Zhang Daoyou to do three years of errands, Bai thank you!"

Put your fists together and salute.

Zhang Wenfeng hurriedly replied, "Don't dare, dare not."

He found that the Ming Qi ring on the index finger of his left hand was replenished with Ming Qi in an instant, and became clear and thick.

That is to say, he still has the power of Mingchai now, but he does not have the title of Mingchai.

Bai Wuchang didn't wait for Zhang Guanzhu to say more, and confessed "I'm busy with chores, so I'll leave first", his figure disappeared quickly, and he didn't want to stay any longer.

It was too difficult for him, fortunately he could come up with such a way to get the best of both worlds.

For that "King Mo Yehan" who likes to walk in the world, he really dare not be disrespectful or offended.

That person's temper is notorious in the ten halls of the Nether Realm...a bit explosive.

Zhang Wenfeng knew in his heart that all this was because of Mo Ye, so he held incense and saluted, "Send off Lord Bai!"

Be polite, don't suffer.

Chapter 421 Come on, don't say bitter

In the simple cave, Lezi got up from the gradually cooling medicine barrel, wearing only a pair of calf pants, stepped out of the barrel slowly and wetly, his dark face was full of water, his muscles twitched unconsciously, his expression seemed a little dull serious.

Slowly reach out and grab the dry towel on the wooden frame, and wipe the water droplets on your body as gently as possible.

Slowly inhaling and exhaling, he threw away the towel and opened his hands and five fingers, rhythmically patting the skin on various parts of his body. Every light blow made him make a subtle movement of holding his breath.

After soaking in the medicine, the skin seems to have countless invisible needles piercing the pores.

It was numb, itchy, and stinging. As he slapped his hands harder, his skin became as red as blood, and his blood vessels swelled and squirmed like earthworms. It was very scary to watch.

His expression was distorted to a point of ferocity, and he insisted on exhaling and exhaling in conjunction with body training in "Wugou Body Training Art".

I heard from the master that after one month of adaptation, I will switch to moso bamboo slices for whipping in the second month.

He is not afraid of suffering, so every time he is slapped, he can feel the pain of peeling the skin with a blunt knife. It hurts once. The strength of the next attack cannot be light, otherwise the effect of the medicine will be wasted, and it will be difficult for oneself.

Endure it and get used to it.

It was freezing cold outside, and the cave was filled with the smell of medicine and blood, and it was steaming hot.

After two quarters of an hour, the medicine quenched and stimulated the body, the pain gradually eased, and the skin on the body slowly returned to normal.

Lezi relaxed all over, and each breath became longer and more rhythmic.

Pulling a boxing frame and practicing Jiuguan Quan in the cave barefoot, the master did not teach him any new boxing skills, but asked him to use the fists and feet of Bishop Guan to invigorate his blood, and let him turn his family's Zhongping Spear into boxing skills. Breathing and exhalation must be coordinated with the "Wugou Body Exercise Jue", and practice of swords and spears is not allowed for the time being.

Soak in medicinal baths, slap the body, and practice boxing to promote blood circulation, twice a day.

In the evening, meditate and breathe for another hour.

At other times, go to the kitchen or mountain wasteland to work and open up wasteland to avoid dry practice.

After Lezihu Husheng punched for half an hour, he finished his work and stood still. The mountain badger, who had been lying in the corner and staring at it, yawned boredly, got up and went to sleep in a room prepared for it by Tukun next door. .

Lezi rinsed his body with clean water, changed into a short robe for work, and went out to run in the direction of Qingzheng Bieyuan in the snow. After the daily torture-like pain, he felt extremely comfortable physically and mentally, seeing everything beautiful.

Hard work comes with rewards, life is not easy!

The temple master said a word to him, which made him regard it as a standard.

"There is no opportunism in Wufu practice, only stupidity!"

Boil it, don't say bitterness.

It has been snowing heavily for three days, and the second senior brother and the disciples who have not gone out are making arrangements to deliver coarse grains to poor farmers and widows in ten villages and eight miles, helping a group as much as they can, without saying anything good.

The tea house in Qingzheng Bieyuan has guests today.

Xinyue was wearing white fur and a long skirt that dragged the floor. She was so glamorous, with a hint of worry hidden in her smile, she said: "This is the situation, please give me some advice, what method should I use to get rid of it from time to time?" Take back the [-]-mile ancestral land of the Three-Tailed Demon Fox from the hands of the Yaozu?"

Zhang Wenfeng took a sip of tea and asked with a smile, "Have you been to the Broken Moon Demon Forest a few days ago?"

A few days ago, the little fox demon did not come to play.

The one who came with Xinyue today was playing wildly with Hu Qiang'er, Lv Xin'er, and Lvchan'er in the snow on the field outside the house.

Xinyue nodded and said, "Have a few words with Yuan Xiao and that green wolf."

The conversation was not speculative, and she almost got into a fight. She went to the underground Hemidi of the Demon Fox Department.

Zhang Wenfeng said with a smile: "Doing it will definitely not work. You are alone and weak, even if you add me and the earth guardian to help you wave the flag and shout, it will not work, but it will attract the other monster tribes of the Broken Moon Demon Forest to fight against each other, so there is only one way to go. That is to lure them for profit, and exchange that piece of land back, otherwise relying on force to take it back, will be annoyed to death and cannot be kept."

Xinyue was a little distressed, and said: "The appetites of the old ape and the old wolf are not so big."

"Don't come forward to talk, they will sit on the ground and raise the price."

Zhang Wenfeng knew that it was about him, Xin Yue, who has always been shrewd, messed up, he was a bystander, and there was a word called "It's hard to get rid of it", those savages couldn't get enough, looked at Tu Kun, and said: You have dealt with Yuan Xiao before, so you can ask the guardian earth to come and talk to Yuan Xiao, by the way, what kind of sincerity can you offer in exchange, Xinyue? Fuyao fruit, looking for radish?"

Xinyue smiled wryly: "Take out at most one Fuyao fruit and one Miluocao."

She really didn't want to take out these two rare treasures.

Tu Kun said: "Take a Fuyao fruit. I'll make an appointment with Yuan Xiao to chat on the border, and let Lao Yuan deal with Qinglang. Let's try first."

He has been in the Yaozu territory for more than 200 years, and he is familiar with the temperament of those guys in the Yaozu.

In fact, the territory of the Broken Moon Demon Forest is not very valuable, there are many barren places, and anyone who has the ability can seize it.

Of course, it has to be a demon cultivator. This is a major premise, and you have to have the strength to defend it.

There is also great competition among the demon tribes. A Fuyao fruit is almost equivalent to giving the tribe a third-level demon cultivator. At this stage, it is a treasure that can change the power.

If each one is given on average, the value will be greatly weakened, and the matter will be difficult to discuss.

If the old ape refuses to accept the bait, or puts forward more conditions, at worst, he will talk to Qinglang for negotiation. Don't care too much about turning the corner, and things will be easier to talk about.

Xin Yue said happily: "Trouble protect the law."

Take out a jade box from the receiving space and push it in front of Tu Kun.

Because of Mo Ye's relationship, she has no less trust in Tu Kun than Guan Zhu.

After talking about the business, Xin Yue got up to say goodbye and went back alone, leaving the little fox demon who didn't like to practice purely to play in the Taoist temple.

After the snow had passed and the sky cleared, many craftsmen and ox carts dragging wood and stone drove into the remote mountains of Xianling Temple, cutting down trees to dig foundations, and preparing to build towers and pavilions.

There are also farmers from nearby villages hired by Wei Xingde to plow the land in the designated area, level off the land piece by piece, sprinkle with soil and fertilizer, and plow it again next spring, and then they can plant spiritual grass, fruit trees, spiritual rice, etc. Lingmaize and Lingmai etc.

When the disciples are not practicing, they each have a piece of wasteland to reclaim and take care of.

That will be the disciple's private "small field", whether to plant spiritual rice or other spiritual plants at that time, according to the disciple's wish, and [-]% of the harvest will be handed over to the Taoist temple, and the rest will be the disciple's personal property.

The disciples were full of enthusiasm, and they all knew that it was the Taoist temple who cared for them.

Zhang Wenfeng no longer needs to reclaim wasteland by himself, he has a stable state of mind, and he can practice step by step. In the second month of Yangchun, he will take Lu Xin'er and Lv Chan'er to travel to the great rivers and mountains of the Da'an Dynasty.

While looking for a suitable habitat for the green Weaver Girl, watch the mountains and waters to enhance your own perception.

Tu Kun made a trip to the Broken Moon Demon Forest, and came back that day, and said with a smile, "Old Yuan is very reasonable, he has already agreed, and he will handle the rest."

"A fuyao fruit?"
