Chapter 13 Inner Alchemy
Author: Hell Cat God
Du Yu didn't know whether Zhenren Luo was interested in money, but the Taoist treasure he took out did attract the attention of the old Taoist.
I saw the old Taoist priest picking up a Taoist canon, flipping through a few pages and reading.
Immediately he said: "I wonder what layman Shi wants to learn?"
"Taoism, Taoism, and magic are all acceptable. I don't choose. If possible, I would most like to learn the 'Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Zhengfa'." Du Yu said.
This guy is really honest, he told all the authentic Taoist teachings taught by Master Luo to Gongsun Sheng in Water Margin.
After listening to Du Yu's words, Master Luo remained silent for a long time and just looked at him intently.
After a long time, the old Taoist sighed quietly and said: "Is it possible that the layman has heard too many folk tales and really thinks that there are magical means in this world that can make wind and rain happen and sow beans into soldiers?"
"Uh, no..." Du Yu said.
"Of course not. My Taoist belief in cultivation is about cultivating one's own life. Spells and Taoist techniques are just legends. How can they be taken seriously? If layman Shi wants to learn these things, he has found the wrong person." Luo Zhenren said.
Du Yu secretly wondered in his heart whether he had traveled to the TV series Water Margin where there were no gods and demons, or he was just perfunctory.
Seeing that he was silent, Master Luo said again: "Shi Shi, if you want to learn Taoism, I can teach you. If you want to learn magic, please hire someone else."
Du Yu woke up with a start and said, "Master, I would like to learn Taoism."
"But the poor Taoist monks in Taoist temples are not strong-minded in seeking the Tao. Why not teach them some methods first, and then look at them if they can get started? What do the lay people think?" said Zhenren Luo.
"Thank you, Master, for your help." Du Yu quickly thanked him.
Master Luo stepped forward, helped him up, and asked the Taoist boy to arrange a quiet room for him.
After Du Yu went to rest, Lao Dao took the package he placed on the table and looked at it.
In addition to gold, silver and thread-bound books, there is also a delicate watch, with several hands showing the twelve hours of the heavenly stems and the earthly branches rotating continuously to display the current time.
Luo Zhenren immediately became interested, picked up the watch and looked at it, and soon learned how to use it without any teacher.
"It's a strange skill, but it does take a lot of effort." Luo Zhen said to himself.
After walking out of the quiet room, the old Taoist made secrets with one hand and muttered words in his mouth, and began to divine the secrets.
After a moment, Luo Zhenren looked stunned and felt great surprise in his heart. He said to himself: "I don't know what happened to this demon king. It is deduced that the stars have a trace of imperial purple energy, and even several demon stars around him have it."
The power to change one’s destiny….”
The next morning, Du Yu got up early to wash up.
Then he came to the courtyard, breathing in the cool air, his heart suddenly surged, and he took out the sword hanging from his waist and started dancing.
What this guy didn't know was that Master Luo had already walked out of the quiet room to watch him use the sword.
For a moment, Du Yu collected his words and stood still, looking calm and composed.
"The layman is good at swordsmanship." Zhenren Luo praised.
"A few random tricks can't catch the eye of real people." Du Yu said humbly. He was not being polite. This guy knew the skills of the veteran in Water Margin.
"Since you are determined to seek enlightenment, come with me," said Zhenren Luo.
Du Yu agreed and followed the old Taoist into the back hall of Zixu Temple.
After the two sat down, Master Luo handed him a Taoist canon and said: "This is the true interpretation of Taoism. Lay people can study it carefully and come back to ask the poor Taoist after reading it."
"Thank you, Master, for your guidance." Du Yu took the book respectfully.
Face to face with Master Luo, he opened the book and began to read.
Different from ordinary Taoist books, this book is a Taoist inner alchemy that is more like a method of cultivation. It lists how to cultivate to generate qi, refine qi, refine qi to become spirit, refine spirit to return emptiness, and refine emptiness to combine with Tao.
.
Based on essence, qi, and spirit, the essence and vitality are refined and combined into a light, pure and qualityless mixture of essence and qi, which can then move with the river cart and refine into the elixir body.
Du Yu looked confused and thought to himself that the world of Water Margin is really a chaotic dance of gods and demons? Then what's the point of training in Shijiacun?
He had been lost in thought for a long time, and his mind had already flown to nowhere.
"How do you feel, Master Shi?" Luo Zhenren said with a smile on his face.
"Thank you so much, Master. I really shouldn't repay Shi Jin for being able to obtain this inner elixir." Du Yu said.
Master Luo smiled and said: "Preaching Taoism and teaching karma is what poor Taoists should do. Since I have a predestined relationship with lay people, I should teach it myself."
Du Yu quickly saluted and said, "Having said that, I should thank the Master for introducing me to Taoism. If I achieve anything in the future, I will be rewarded generously."
With a smile on his face, Master Luo stopped talking and started to give instructions on how to get started.
That man didn't have any dreams of cultivation. Du Yu studied very seriously and asked for advice when he encountered something he didn't understand.
In this way, I stayed in Zixu Temple for more than a month.
Although he has not yet entered Taoism, he has already developed a sense of Qi, which makes him feel like he is practicing internal strength.
I haven't learned Taoism or spells, but I feel that my physical strength and coordination have improved qualitatively. Unknowingly, my martial arts has become much higher than before.
Master Luo was surprised when he saw Du Yu's entry. He didn't expect that he would be able to get started in a short time. However, the old Taoist knew that his soul had penetrated and swallowed up Shi Jin, so he thought that his naturally innocent body had not been destroyed by the mortal world.
polluted by things.
On this day, Du Yu was practicing, and a Taoist boy came to tell him that the master had something to do with him.
When he arrived at the back hall of Erxian Temple, Zhenren Luo was waiting for him.
After asking about his homework, Luo Zhenren said that he was going to Longhu Mountain for a trip. This was the end of their fate, and he hoped that he would practice more diligently after returning.
Du Yu saw that the old Taoist priest could not force him to stay when he drove people away, so he opened his mouth to decide on the title of master and apprentice.
For Luo Zhenren, the fate of the two of them has not yet arrived, and when the fate of the two comes, they will look for him.
Only then did Du Yu give up, thanked Master Luo again and again, then said goodbye and went down the mountain.
When he arrived in Jiugong County, he originally planned to return directly to Shijiacun, but then he thought that no matter whether he could succeed in practicing Taoism or not, he had to get Cai's birthday card.
So, the guy turned to Damingfu, intending to check out the situation and step on the plate first.
In three days, Du Yu arrived at Daming Mansion.
After entering the city, he couldn't help but nod repeatedly. Daming Mansion looked much more prosperous than Huayin County, and the Dongping Mansion and Huazhou Mansion in Shi Jin's memory couldn't compare with it.
This guy originally planned to visit Jade Qilin Lu Junyi, but then he thought that the two of them had no friendship at all, so it seemed inappropriate to go there rashly, so he gave up.
Afterwards, Du Yu walked around Daming Mansion like a tourist, eating and drinking.
Occasionally, I would go for a walk near the Dongguomen Training Ground of Daming Mansion to secretly check out the appearance of Liang Zhongshu’s soldiers.
After lingering for more than ten days, I finally left and prepared to go back to Shaohua Mountain.
It is clearly written in the novel Water Margin that Cai Jing's birthday is June 15th. It is only the beginning of February and Du Yu cannot wait in Daming Mansion and has to go back to make some preparations.
After leaving Daming Mansion, we headed towards Shijia Village according to Shi Jin's memory.
After walking for a long time, Du Yu felt hungry. He saw a large forest not far away and hurried over.
When I got closer, I found a piece of red pine, which looked exactly like this: Thousands of old barefoot dragons were entangled with scattered branches. Strange shadows were staggered, and tens of thousands of giant red-scaled pythons stood there. From a distance, they looked like a judge's beard, and up close, they looked like devil's hair. Who will
Blood is sprinkled on the treetops, which is suspected to be covered with cinnabar.
Du Yu walked into the forest and saw no one around, so he tied the horse next to an old tree and took out a bundle of alfalfa from the system space, which was still at its feet.
I took out a few boxes of self-heating hot pot and prepared to fill my stomach.
After the hot pot was cooked, he was about to enjoy it when he saw a tall, fat monk in the distance walking towards the forest.
A sudden flash occurred in Du Yu's mind, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "Holy shit, could it be that by some coincidence, the plot of 'Nine-patterned dragon cuts the red pine forest, Lu Zhishen burns down the Crock Temple'?"
Looking at the forest next to him, this guy is a little speechless. Could it be that the plot of the Water Margin world is forced to complete.
After a while, the fat monk came nearby.
Du Yu stood up and walked out of the forest, which shocked the other party.
The man shouted sternly: "Those birds dare to scare the Sa family, come here and die."
"Brother Tiha, how come you are so angry?" Du Yu smiled. Since he was running away from the plot, there was no need to spoil his friendship with Luda.
"Who are you?" Lu Zhishen saw that he was dressed in brocade, but he really didn't recognize him as 'Shi Jin'.
"Brother Tiha, do you still recognize Shi Jin?" Du Yu said and raised his eyebrows.
Lu Zhishen watched carefully, then grinned and said, "It turns out to be Shi Dalang. We haven't seen each other for a long time since we left Weizhou. Why are you here?"
Du Yu did not mention that he went to learn Taoism from Luo Zhenren, but said that he went to Daming Mansion to meet friends and now plans to return to Shijiacun.
The two of them bowed again, then sat down in the forest and started talking.
Chapter completed!
