The night is as cool as water; the north wind is howling outside the window, and at first glance it sounds like a monster crying and howling with wolves, whimpering, very harsh...

Chen Jianchen tossed and turned, and it was difficult to sleep. If the appearance of Taoist Master Qingyun represents one end of the world; then the appearance of the mandrill monster today represents the other end.

There are both monks and demons; this world is becoming more and more mysterious, and it is urgent to have a further understanding.

This feeling is exciting and fascinating, and also forced Chen Jianchen to wake up his twelve points of energy, face it happily, and think more deeply about the way out.

You must improve your abilities. It is still not enough to have a strong body... But where can you find the ability, learn the Tao? Or else?

Several thoughts passed by-

Before he knew it, Chen Jianchen fell asleep in contemplation.

Taoist Priest Qingyun's arrival was far beyond expectations. At noon the next day, he appeared in Jingyang Village. When Chen Jianchen saw him, he was overjoyed and immediately followed him out and walked all the way to Maziling.

Taoist Master Qingyun deliberately wanted to avoid everyone's attention, and so did Chen Jianchen. As a scholar, getting too close to a Taoist monk would eventually lead to criticism.

Taoist Master Qingyun's face looked quite bad, especially when he took back the bell magic weapon, he felt like he was chopped up and the corners of his mouth were twitched, and he felt very distressed: "You dare to destroy my magic weapon, damn it!"

It can be seen that this bell is not an ordinary thing to him.

Chen Jianchen said, "Isn't this nonsense? Is it a porcine who will wait for death?" After all, he has to blame his confidence and underestimate the strength of the monster, which almost made Chen Jianchen fall into danger. However, these words can only be whispered inwardly and cannot be said.

"I learned yesterday that the magic weapon was damaged, so I rushed over overnight..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jianchen felt a little more certain in his heart. The bell magic weapon must have some kind of mental connection with Qingyun and can be closely connected. This should be the mystery of Taoism.

He took out the torn human skin again.

When Master Qingyun saw it, he took it over and looked at it, saying, "It's indeed a painted skin."

Chen Jianchen's heart was beating and pretended not to understand, "What is painting a skin?"

Qingyun stroked his beard and asked, "Does the young master believe that there are monsters and monsters in the world?"

"letter!"

Isn’t this nonsense again? It all appeared before my eyes, and it’s a fool if I don’t believe it.

Qingyun smiled: "Young Master is interested in listening to me in detail?"

"Of course, I can't find it, I hope to hear it carefully."

Chen Jianchen was overjoyed. He just needed these extraordinary insights. Qingyun's words were exactly what he said.

"Everything in the world has spirits, but the only difference is whether it is clear or not..."

Qingyun shook a burden as soon as he opened his mouth: "...Animals can be called "demons" after they opened their orifices, and plants can be called "elements" after they opened their orifices. People die but their souls will not disperse, and the underworld will not be recorded without recording. This is called "ghosts"; such as soil and rocks can be opened, that is "monsters"..."

Chen Jianchen raised his ears and listened, and the more he listened, the more frightened he became: It turns out that there are monsters in this world and demons are dancing around.

"Of course, it is difficult for ordinary monsters and ghosts to learn, and it often takes a very long time. On the one hand, it is because they have no way to teach the Dharma, and they can only understand the feelings alone; on the other hand, they are low in intelligence and difficult to understand the laws of heaven and earth. However, when a country is about to perish, there will be monsters. The more chaotic the times, the more ghosts and monsters..."

Speaking of this, Qingyun glanced at Chen Jianchen intentionally or unintentionally.

Chen Jianchen was stunned. Now that the country's rule is stable and the world is peaceful, how can there be a saying in troubled times? Could it be that Taoist priest has some ideas, but not the present, but the future?

He did not ask this question suddenly, maybe Qingyun was just talking casually.

"There are monsters in the world, so there are monks and Taoist methods to overcome them. Today, the orthodox Taoist sect is three parts, one is Shushan outside the sky; the other is Kunlun Mountain outside the world; the other is the place where I came from, Laoshan overseas - Shushan sword cultivation; Kunlun is good at Qimen magic and mantras; Laoshan is the main talisman... Of course, there are other Taoist sects outside the three mountains, but they are just not famous."

Chen Jianchen suddenly felt enlightened when he heard this, and felt that his vision had been expanded suddenly, flying into the sea, freely in the world, and he quickly bowed: "It turns out that the Taoist priest was born in the Laoshan Immortal Sect, and the boy admired him very much."

Qingyun smiled and waved his hand: "I am just a registered disciple of a foreign courtyard in Laoshan, and I am just entering the threshold... We practice Taoism only for freedom and immortality, but this road is so wide that we have the enlightenment - Yin God - Golden Pill - Yuanying - Dharma Image - Six Great Tribulation Realms of Human and Immortals. Now I am only practicing Yin God."

He told the story in a casual way that he wanted to tell Chen Jianchen about the Taoist Dharma, and that he wanted to plant a seed in Chen Jianchen's heart. In fact, the monsters and ghosts are also practicing Taoism, but it is difficult to achieve great success. In Qingyun's mind, they are "apart" and cannot be recognized.

Chen Jianchen really listened with relish and benefited a lot.

"The inheritance of Taoism is not passed on to the six ears, not through writing and ink, but only based on thoughts. Therefore, the so-called melody and the so-called secrets are all the basics and cannot obtain the essence..."

So that's it. Chen Jianchen suddenly understood that no wonder there are many secrets in the world, but there are no one in the world who can achieve enlightenment, but there are other mysteries and tricks. In other words, without a master's introduction, even if there are secrets and tricks, the blind man can only touch an elephant and cannot enter.

It is not easy to practice Taoism. In this way, there will never be many real Taoists in this world.

It seemed that he had been almost done, Qingyun stopped at the right time and pointed to the painted skin in his hand and said, "This thing is also a magical instrument, and it is refined with human skin. It can be transformed into a human form and confusing all living beings. Hehe, people in the world are so stupid, they are obviously demonic, but they think they are beautiful, which is lamentable and sad! The demon can use this painted skin to confuse men with them, absorb semen and yang, and strengthen their cultivation."

Chen Jianchen nodded and said yes, pondered for a moment, and was about to speak out to express his thoughts, but Qingyun seemed to have expected it before: "Young master has wisdom, enlightenment, and courage, and is the dragon among people; however, the scholar has a strong spirit and a lot of ties in his mind, but it is not suitable for practicing Taoism for the time being..."

After being blocked by him, Chen Jianchen became a little unhappy.

Qingyun saw it and did not point it out - saying so much to Chen Jianchen is a kind of guidance; first, with Qingyun's cultivation, it is impossible to do anything that can be enlightened; second, once a practitioner enters the Taoist sect, he will escape from the world. He almost ignores the rise and fall of the world and the suffering of the people. If he wants to control this, he will not practice Taoism, but become an official. As for the subjugation of demons and evil spirits, he has to discuss it differently. After all, the struggle between practitioners and "extraordinary species" who have left the mortal category is just under the guise of saving the people.

In Qingyun's view, Chen Jianchen's personality obviously does not meet the second requirement of practicing Taoism - at least not at present; after a pause, he added: "Young Master, I have a master who lives in Jiangzhou, with the name of "Guanghan". His Taoism is profound and unfathomable, and he is a real paramita. However, he has always been mysterious, and the dragon is not seen at the head, and even I have never seen the true face... Well, if you really want to ask, you can pay attention to it. If you have the opportunity to make a fortune, you may be able to join Master Guanghan."

Is this considered a bright future?

Chen Jianchen remembered it secretly.

"Young Master, the mountain mandrill monster escaped with injuries. If you ignore it, you will cause harm to the world again in the future. Therefore, I want to cut it out and destroy it yourself. Are you interested in walking together?"

Chen Jianchen smiled and replied: "I'd like to follow my side."
