The flames were rising, and the Taoist magic was mysterious. In the blink of an eye, the ink fell into the blood bowl. Uncle Jiu pressed the Bagua, shook it left and right, up and down, and threw it in the air. At the same time, he quickly moved the ink bucket, held up the seal with both hands, and caught it when it fell. Blood bowl, black and red liquid slowly flows into the groove of the ink fountain along the edge of the bowl.
Seeing that the thread in the ink fountain was almost soaked, Jiang Chen quickly asked: "Brother, are you going to flick it on the coffin?"
"That's right." Uncle Jiu picked up the ink bucket and said, "I have cast a spell. This ink line can temporarily seal the body of Mr. Ren." As he spoke, he handed the ink bucket to Qiu Sheng, "You and Wen Cai go Bounce the thread, remember, you have to bounce it everywhere!”
"Yes, Master." Although they were a little envious of Uncle Jiu's preferential treatment to Jiang Chen, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai did not dare to oppose power, so they began to string the strings conscientiously, while Jiang Chen watched the two of them working with interest.
Uncle Jiu walked slowly to the memorial tablet. While lighting three long incense sticks, he taught his disciples some popular science: "People are divided into good and bad people, and corpses are divided into zombies..."
"People are not only divided into good guys and bad guys, but also men and women!" Unexpectedly, as soon as Uncle Jiu started to speak, Wen Caixing interrupted him hastily, causing Uncle Jiu to glare at him fiercely.
"Master is talking, why are you interrupting?!" Uncle Jiu wanted to slap this stupid apprentice to death. Seeing that he was working conscientiously, he continued: "Old Master Ren's body is about to turn into a zombie. corpse!"
Compared with Wencai, Qiu Sheng was obviously much more agile. He seized the opportunity and asked: "Master, how can a corpse turn into a zombie?" Wencai then asked: "Yes, how can a person become a bad person?"
Uncle Jiu snorted softly and responded: "The reason why a person becomes a bad person is because he fails to live up to his expectations, and the reason why a corpse becomes a zombie is because it has an extra breath."
"An extra breath?" Qiu Sheng asked while flicking the thread, "What do you mean?"
"Before a person dies, he is angry, suffocated, and suffocated. After death, a breath gathers in the throat, and the breath does not dissipate, and the soul does not leave the body. Not only is the body difficult to transform, but also if you add to it the years of being buried in the underworld. , and at certain times of the day, it is very likely to turn into a zombie!"
Uncle Jiu spoke in a deep voice, with an indescribable heaviness in his words: "Compared to ordinary ghosts, zombies are fierce and extraordinary, and the most terrifying thing is that generally speaking, zombies who have just woken up are , the first person they want to bite is their closest relatives.”
"Ah?" Wen Cai couldn't help but exclaimed: "Isn't Tingting in danger?"
Uncle Jiu glanced at him and asked instead, "What do you think?"
"Then it must be." Wen Cai's face was full of bitterness, as if he had swallowed a bitter melon alive. No, he was just a bitter melon now.
"So you two should hurry up and flick the thread." Jiang Chen said with a smile: "Otherwise, if the zombies come out, Miss Tingting will be in danger."
"Definitely, definitely." Wencai nodded quickly and urged Qiu Sheng to quickly flick the thread. He was concerned about the safety of the Master's life, and the lazy thoughts in his heart were immediately thrown out of his mind.
Seeing that the two of them were working seriously, Uncle Jiu couldn't help but nodded, "This is how you should do things. If you are more serious, you will make fewer mistakes. Okay, it's getting late. You two will go to bed after playing the strings." Let's go." Immediately, he turned to Jiang Chen and said, "Junior brother, come with me."
"Okay." Jiang Chen responded, and immediately followed Uncle Jiu out of the hall and went to Uncle Jiu's room. An idea flashed in his mind, but he remembered the last reincarnation world, which was also his master's. Ye Wen had done something like this before, but he still didn't understand what Uncle Jiu wanted to do.
Sure enough, after entering the room, Uncle Jiu immediately opened the bedside cabinet, took out a tightly locked black lacquered wooden box, opened the lock, and opened the lid of the box. There were two books inside. There were two books, one new and one old. He took out the new one and handed it to Jiang Chen, saying, "Junior brother, I see that your breath has stabilized. If nothing happens, you will be able to condense your immortal roots tonight. This is the new secret book of Maoshan Taoism that I specially recorded for you. When you successfully condense the immortal roots, you should be able to understand and practice it soon with your deep foundation."
"This..." Jiang Chen didn't know how valuable this secret book was, especially for a monk, it was worth more than ten thousand gold. He was stunned for a while before taking the secret book in his hand. , "Thank you very much, brother!"
"Between you and me, we are both teachers and friends. How can we say thank you or not?" Uncle Jiu said with a smile: "To be honest, your two apprentice nephews may be able to achieve a little success after Qiu Sheng. As for literary talent, , then it’s hard to say, this secret book is the true inheritance of Maoshan, I can’t let it be lost here.”
Jiang Chen gave a wry smile, and then he could only respond in a deep voice: "Senior brother, don't worry, since I have accepted the secret book today, I will definitely not lose the inheritance of Maoshan Taoism in my hands."
"Yes." Uncle Jiu nodded: "Actually, I'm very glad that your appearance has given me hope for the sect's inheritance. Go ahead and practice. Cultivation is like sailing against the current. You can't slack off."
"Yes, senior brother." Jiang Chen responded respectfully, and then left his room under Uncle Jiu's eager and expectant eyes.
That night, Jiang Chen sat cross-legged on the bed in his room, meditating deeply, and began to condense his immortal roots.
Condensing the scattered magic power gathered in the body into immortal roots is a step in the introduction to Taoism, and it is also the most critical step. Naturally, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai have already taken this step. However, the qualifications of the two people are really not dare to Compliment, Qiu Sheng is a little better. After all, it is an immortal root condensed with twenty-four strands of mana. His literary talent is not good, so he just halved it, barely scraping together twelve strands of mana, which is enough for entry.
Because of their limited qualifications, even though the two of them have been practicing for so many years, their Taoist skills are actually very limited. With Jiang Chen's foundation, once he condenses his immortal roots and enters the wall of the monastery, he can directly surpass them. This is why Uncle Jiu can The reason for the high expectations placed on him.
Breathing in and out, the air flows accordingly, and the scattered magic power accumulated in the body, driven by Jiang Chen's Taoist secrets, is like a river flowing into the sea, all coming together towards the eyebrow platform.
External martial arts training can strengthen the body and strengthen Qi and blood; national martial arts training can fill the whole body with strength and stay in the flesh and blood; ancient martial arts training can make Qi gather in the Dantian and converge into the sea of Qi; but Taoism is different. But it goes up to the top of the spirit, harmonizes with its own soul, and exists on the altar.
The Divine Platform is located, also known as the Sea of Consciousness. The human soul sits here, commanding the suns and controlling the body. The spiritual roots are planted on the Divine Platform to connect the human body and the Divine Soul, so that the Divine Soul can control the body and control the magic power. Therefore, for ascetics, the soul is particularly important.
For ordinary people, the strength of the soul has its limits, but Jiang Chen has strengthened it several times and practiced hard for ten years in the last reincarnation. Unknowingly, the soul has grown much stronger, and with the addition of crossing the gate of reincarnation, it has become even more powerful. The silent strengthening of the power of time and space is better than ordinary people who don't know how to do it. If you practice Taoism and practice, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
Wisps of mana gathered together, as if water came naturally, and soon they formed a vortex in the sea of consciousness on the altar. At the center of the whirlpool, the intersection of 365 rays of mana produced a small purple light. Point, vaguely, the flash of thunder and brilliance can be seen.
Jiang Chen sat in meditation and reflected on the altar. In the sea of consciousness, the soul suddenly appeared. As the whirlpool of mana flowed, bit by bit, it was injected into the purple light spot in the center. Immediately, he saw that The purple dots of light became more and more dazzling, and the mana in the surrounding vortex was immediately absorbed.
As a large amount of mana was absorbed, the mana vortex gradually dissipated and was replaced by a dazzling purple spiritual seed. Jiang Chen's soul came out of it. Suddenly, the spiritual seed exploded and turned into 365 light points. Distributed in the altar, like a miniature starry sky...
