Chapter 126 Covering the Clouds
People were coming and going on Anxi Street, but Golden Pig was squatting on the ground and raising his head, looking directly at Chen Ji regardless of it: "Do you know what it means that the cultivation method is sent to Luo City today?"
"What does it mean?"
The golden pig said firmly: "If we want to deliver this cultivation method to Luocheng within one day, we need to leave Beijing before sunset yesterday and pass through six post stations in Baoding, Hengshui, Handan, Hebi, Xinxiang, and Zheng County, and exchange for six war horses.
Non-stop. Do you know that even ordinary military intelligence reports don't have this honor? It must be the Minister of Internal Affairs who has issued a verbal order to dispatch the war horses of so many stations."
Jin Zhu continued: "The person who sent me this cultivation method is also extraordinary, but...forget it, I can't tell you this. Boy, did you meet the Master Nei Xiang when you lived in the capital before?
"
The traces of silence.
Chen Liqin came to Luo City in the autumn of the twenty-fifth year of Jianing, and now it is the winter of the thirty-first year of Jianing.
In other words, Chen Liqin's family lived in the capital six years ago, and Chen Ji was not sure whether he had met the internal minister, so he could not answer at will.
Chen Ji changed the subject and asked: "Master Golden Pig, why did Master Nei Xiang mobilize so many people to send you a way to practice?"
The golden pig smiled and said: "Boy, you have entered the Dharma Eye."
Chen Ji was silent for a moment: "Good thing or bad thing?"
The golden pig stood up and patted his shoulder: "A good thing is of course a great thing. As long as you can make contributions to the inner minister, he can make your wishes come true. Congratulations, from today on, you will be
I really joined the Secret Service."
Chen Ji asked curiously: "What is the path of cultivation that Lord Golden Pig seeks for me?"
The golden pig looked around at the pedestrians and whispered: "Come with me, this is not the place to talk."
The two of them walked through the crowd of people on Anxi Street one after another and boarded a carriage on the roadside.
Xifeng stood guard next to the carriage, lowered the door curtains and curtains, and completely covered the carriage, showing great caution and grandeur.
The Golden Pig sat in the carriage and mysteriously took out a black stone cylinder from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Ji: "What I ask for for you is the mandala secret seal, which is the supreme method of the Ning sect of Southwest Tantra.
But there are evil ghosts hiding in one's body, and different ghosts have different abilities. I once saw an eminent monk hiding evil ghosts in one's body, and he could fly into the sky and escape from the earth, and he was omnipotent."
Chen Ji was confused: "Why is the Tantric method in Jiefan Tower?"
The golden pig chuckled: "This technique of forming seals to restrain ghosts is the lifeblood of the Ning sect. If they don't have a huge handle to catch it in the hands of the internal minister, how can they be willing to give it to it with both hands?"
Chen Ji looked down.
There is a black wax seal on the black stone cylinder, and there is also a stamp "Jie Trouble" stamped on the wax seal.
Chen Ji raised his hand to open the wax seal, but was held down by the golden pig: "Wait a minute, the cultivation method is the secret of our ceremonial supervisor. According to the rules, the recipients can only watch it by themselves, and they will be burned after reading it. Don't take me for granted.
Opening the noodles is a taboo."
However, when Chen Ji looked up, he saw the golden pig staring longingly at the stone cylinder in his hand, without even shifting his gaze...
He thought for a moment, then immediately opened the wax seal and poured out a paper scroll from the stone cylinder.
The golden pig was surprised: "What are you doing?"
Chen Ji said: "Since this is the way of cultivation that Master Jinzhu asked for for me, it doesn't hurt to show it to you."
The golden pig asked doubtfully: "Don't you know that the cultivation method must be kept secret?"
"Lord Yunyang once said."
"Then you still let me see it?"
Chen Jirenzuzhong smiled harmlessly and said: "If you treat me with sincerity, I will treat you with sincerity."
The Golden Pig was silent for a long time: "I doubted you many times before, but now that I think about it, I feel really ashamed... Take a look."
Chen Ji slowly opened the paper scroll and took a quick glance, but he was surprised: "Sir, what is recorded on this paper scroll is not the mandala secret seal."
The Golden Pig was startled and leaned his head to look at the paper scroll, only to see two big characters coming into view: Zheyun.
The next moment, he quickly retracted his body and said in surprise: "Why is this a spiritual path?!"
Chen Ji was puzzled: "What's wrong, sir?"
The golden pig lowered his head and his expression changed several times. When he raised his head again, he said seriously: "I have never seen this practice method of yours. I don't know what it is, let alone its content! If the Lord Internal Minister asks, you
But you must say that!”
Chen Ji looked at the paper scroll in his hand: "What kind of cultivation method makes you feel like you are facing a powerful enemy? Otherwise, I'd better not practice this method."
The Golden Pig struggled for a long time, and finally exhaled a breath of turbidity and said: "No, you have to practice! This method will not harm you, it is just related to a secret."
"What secret?"
The golden pig said quietly: "Twelve years ago, there was a young official in the Qi family. His real name was Qi Yunchang. When he was nine years old, he suddenly changed his name to Qi Zheyun. He entered the Xiantian realm at the age of twelve, entered the seeking realm at the age of sixteen, and entered the Tao-seeking realm at the age of twenty.
At the age of one, I touched the threshold of the Shinto realm, and it seemed that I was only one step away from the realm above the blue clouds. The invisible sword energy in my hand was so superb that it was hard to guard against."
Invisible sword energy?
Chen Ji thought deeply, and this path of cultivation seems to be very suitable for him.
He asked casually: "Is this Qi Zheyun more powerful than Tianma?"
The Golden Pig lamented: "In terms of strength, he is not even close, but in terms of potential, he is probably better than Tianma." Qi Zheyun joined the border army at the age of sixteen, and in three years, he killed more than ten generals of Jingchao.
In the winter of the 17th year of Ning Dynasty, he led a cavalry force of 300 people to penetrate 600 miles into the Jing Dynasty and captured the Marquis of Chicheng of the Jing Dynasty alive. Later, he was chased and intercepted by the Jing Dynasty cavalry. Everyone thought he would never come back, but he took the three men with him.
More than a hundred cavalry made a long circuit in northern Liaoning, and finally fought their way to Port Arthur and returned home by boat. For these achievements, His Majesty awarded him the title of General of the Third Rank of Dragon and Tiger, and was granted the privilege of carrying a sword to the palace."
The golden pig continued: "When Qi Zheyun came back, it was the Lantern Festival in the 18th year of Jianing. Your Majesty hosted a banquet for all ministers. At the banquet, your Majesty asked him what his ambition was. Qi Zheyun came forward with a sword and said he would do it
The first martial saint in the Jingning and Ning dynasties, he unified the country for His Majesty."
Chen Ji asked curiously: "Where is this Qi Zheyun now?"
In the dark carriage, the golden pig looked at the traces on the opposite side with a strange expression: "Dead."
Chen Ji was startled: "Dead?!"
The golden pig continued: "Listen to me slowly. This Qi Zheyun's identity is extraordinary. When someone went to Qi's house as a guest, he discovered that his father and his mother respected them as gods, and they did not treat each other as parents.
The son is worthy of his son. Later, when his father was drunk, he said that this Qi Zheyun was not an ordinary person, but an immortal on the forty-ninth level of heaven, from 'Eastern Kunlun'."
Chen Ji's expression calmed down.
Forty-nine heavens!
It’s the forty-ninth heaven again!
The biggest secret of the forty-nine heavens and the mortal world is known to only a few people. But he originally thought that a banished immortal like Qin Tianjian Xu Shu was rare in a hundred years, but he did not expect that there was more than one such 'immortal'
.
Counting Qi Zheyun, Xu Shu, and Chen Ji himself, there are already three people from the forty-ninth heaven!
Where exactly is the Forty-ninth Heaven, and why did I come to Ning Dynasty from the Forty-ninth Heaven?
Chen Ji's head hurt thinking about it: "Master Golden Pig, since Qi Zheyun is an immortal, how could he die?"
"When you come to the mortal world, you are a mortal. As long as you are a mortal, you will eventually die," the golden pig replied: "In the spring of the 21st year of Jianing, this official of the Qi family was ambushed and killed on his way back to Beijing from the border town to report on his duties.
Died in Changping."
Chen Ji was confused: "He died like that? Who did it?"
Golden Pig lowered his head and looked at the paper scroll in his hand: "...what do you think?"
Chen Ji suddenly felt that this cultivation path was a bit hot!
Since Qi Zheyun's cultivation method is in the hands of the Director of Ceremonies, then the Director of Ceremonies naturally did this!
But why did the Chief of Ceremony want to ambush and kill a banished immortal from the forty-nine heavens? Why did the Internal Minister dare to teach this cultivation method to himself?
Aren't you afraid that you will leak this matter?!
Chen Ji's mind is now full of questions and he can't figure it out at all.
He seemed to see a middle-aged man wearing a black python robe, sitting behind a dark desk, making a silent mockery of himself. He was like a seasoned national player who made an unpredictable move and plunged his opponent into endless confusion.
Sitting dry for a long time.
Chen Ji thought for a while and asked: "Maybe this is not Qi Zheyun's cultivation path, but just the same name? Sir, please take a look and confirm whether it is the Qi Zheyun's back then..."
The golden pig quickly closed his eyes: "Get away, get away, don't show me, don't drag me into the water!"
Chen Ji glanced at the golden pig, simply unfolded the paper scroll and said: "In front of the Purple Clouds of the Shangqing Dynasty, the Lord of Yuchen of the Supreme Dao. He lives in leisurely pistils and makes seven words, dissipating five shapes and transforming into ten thousand gods."
The golden pig interrupted Chen Ji with a cry and opened his eyes wide: "Boy, do you want to harm me?!"
Chen Ji smiled and said: "Master Golden Pig, you and I are now grasshoppers on the same rope, talking about whether it is harmful or not. In addition, this is not necessarily Qi Zheyun's cultivation path. If he was ambushed,
How can you tell your enemies about your cultivation path?"
Golden Pig glanced at him and said bitterly: "Have you forgotten Mengji? Let me tell you, it's best not to get involved in this matter. There must be a bigger secret. What's strange is that I clearly asked for Man.
Dala Secret Seal, why would the Master Nei Xiang give you this thing?"
Chen Ji raised the paper scroll: "May I ask, sir, what level is this cultivation path, first-class?"
The golden pig waved his hand: "A, B, B, D, that's what we call it in the mortal world. It's the cultivation method of banishing immortals from the forty-nine heavens. Who is qualified to grade it? Boy, you can do it for yourself!"
After that, he kicked Chen Ji out of the carriage, called to the west wind and ran away.
…
…
It was noon, and the cold wind in winter hit his face, making Chen Ji sober up.
The Secret Service was like an abyss, and it seemed that an invisible hand was pulling him into the whirlpool of the cold pool beneath the abyss.
Chen Ji tightened his collar, returned to the door of Taiping Medical Center, and took a deep breath.
He rubbed his cheeks and said with a smile: "I'm back!"
Liu Quxing was the only one sitting behind the counter, resting his chin on his hand and taking a nap. When he heard Chen Ji's voice, he stood up in excitement and said angrily: "What are you shouting for?"
Chen Ji looked around and asked curiously: "Where are Master and Senior Brother She?"
"Master and She Dengke went to the palace for medical treatment. It is said that the prince was supervising construction in the kiln every day and contracted some wind and cold." Liu Quxing pointed to the backyard: "Your rice was left on the kitchen stove. I hid it under the rice for you.
Four slices of bacon, or they will all be snatched away by She Dengke’s grandson.”
Chen Jile chuckled and said, "Thank you, senior brother."
He went to the kitchen and took a few bites, then quietly returned to the apprentice's dormitory, closed the door, and took out the paper scroll from his sleeve again.
He quietly stared at the scriptures on the scroll, but he didn't know how to practice.
Do you keep chanting sutras like a little monk?
"In front of the Emperor Zixiaxu of the Shangqing Dynasty, the King of Yuchen on the Great Dao of Taishang. He lived idle and composed seven words of pistil pearls, which dispersed the five shapes and transformed the gods. This is the inner chapter of Huang Ting's speech. The heart of the piano dances with the immortal in three folds. The nine qi reflect the light.
When he came out of the sky, the divine boy gave birth to purple smoke. It is said that the jade book can be studied carefully and chanted thousands of times for three days..."
"Wait a minute, chant it ten thousand times and rise to three days? The answer lies in the riddle."
Chen Ji sat cross-legged on the bed and recited it over and over again. There were 239 sentences in total, totaling 1,673 words. It would take half a stick of incense to recite the entire text.
He read silently for a moment. When he finished reading the first time, he suddenly felt a purple energy coming out of his body and circulating in his blood.
Chen Ji murmured: "So magical?"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the brilliant sword energy in his body, which was nourished by the sun, chased the purple energy and chopped it into pieces with one sword!
Chen Ji's pupils shrank. Ever since he was sure that the golden pig was betting on him, he deliberately hid his sword energy and stopped raising the sword. Who knew that this sword energy would come out to cause trouble at the critical moment?
Are the cultivation paths still mutually exclusive? No, try again!
At this moment, in a carriage heading east, the bones of the golden pig's body suddenly crackled, as if he had stretched out when he woke up, and his whole body was smooth.
Although the improvement in cultivation is not much, it can be really felt!
The Golden Pig was startled at first, then ecstatically said: "Chen Ji has started to practice? He has entered the path so quickly!"
He has been waiting for this moment for too long.
He worked hard to confirm that Chen Ji's identity was correct, and he also tried his best to seek the path of cultivation from within, so that after Chen Ji stepped into the path of cultivation, he could feedback his cultivation and reach the realm of seeking the Tao again as soon as possible!
But.
The golden pig suddenly screamed "Hey!" and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.
A heartbreaking pain surged into his heart, as if his ribs had been ripped off by life. He was too familiar with this kind of pain, and it was clearly a sign of decline in cultivation!
Golden Pig gritted his teeth and muttered to himself: "What's going on? Chen Ji just stepped into the path of cultivation, why did he step back again?!"
Before the pain completely subsided, another crackling sound came from his body.
Jin Zhu was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but his expression changed again: "Wait a minute, this boy Chen Ji doesn't know how to... eh!"
Chapter completed!
