Sanjiang Road, Jizhou, Baiyun Temple.
With three days left before the New Year, Lu Zheng finally flew back to Baiyun Mountain with Taoist Priest Ming Zhang and Yuan Jing.
This time, Taoist Master Mingzhang did not send Lu Zheng and Yuan Jing around, but took them directly to the main hall of Baiyun Temple to meet the master Mingyu.
Although Master Mingyu is also a Taoist priest of the Ming generation, his cultivation has already surpassed all the masters of his generation and is on par with the seniors in the back mountain. Otherwise, he would not be able to sit in the high position of the master of the temple.
Even so, a disciple with more than five hundred years of Taoist practice is enough for Master Mingyu to spare time and receive him personally.
In addition to receiving more attention, Lu Zheng also has the qualifications to be exposed to more secret techniques from Guanzhong.
For example, alchemy, refining techniques for storage magic weapons, and some small techniques like invisibility.
These small methods generally have nothing to do with practice or combat. They play a supporting role at most. Most of them are passed down from master to disciple, either as personal characteristics, passed down in the same lineage, or exchanged with fellow disciples.
Of course, there are also some small Dharma doors, which are either relatively important or have become commonplace, so they are placed in the Sutra Pavilion and can be practiced at will.
It’s just that these methods are similar to alchemy and weapon refining, and they all have certain requirements for Taoism. Baiyun Temple wants to prevent its disciples from overestimating their abilities and wasting a lot of time and energy, or from being miscalculated by others because of their shallow cultivation. After learning the secrets of the sect, the various classics in the Sutra Pavilion all have cultivation requirements.
The last time Lu Zheng came here, he was actually qualified to come in and take a look, but he was still a newcomer at the time and didn't have much demand, so he didn't come in.
This time is different. As an outsider who can fly in the clouds and is even qualified to live in the back mountain, of course you can browse most areas in the Sutra Pavilion at will.
Hmm... Of course it's not completely random. He still can't get up to the top floor, which is full of the core secrets of Baiyun Temple.
"In addition... you can read the classics casually, don't you need something like the teacher's contribution?"
Lu Zheng asked, while holding something in his hand Holding a book about the elixir created by a senior in Baiyun Temple, he sighed, "In addition, important classics must not leave the Sutra Pavilion, even if they make a copy?"
"Haha, what kind of contribution do you need from the master? The master is eager for you to study more, just don't delay the practice of the fundamental method.
" Other important classics must not be taken out, but You can now fly into the clouds, and you can fly back at any time if you want."
The speaker was a Taoist priest who looked to be a few years older than Yuan Jing. He was responsible for entertaining Lu Zheng. "If you have nothing to do, you can also live in the mountain for a while. The seniors in the sect will give lectures and explain the Dharma from time to time." The true meaning of the scriptures."
Lu Zheng nodded and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Yuanlin, I will spare you the trouble."
Although Taoist Priest Yuanlin looks quite young, , in fact, he started his career earlier than Taoist Master Ming Zhang, and his cultivation level is already extremely high. He is considered to be the front man of Baiyun Guanyuan generation. This time, he specially went out to entertain Lu Zheng, a rookie of Yuan generation.
Then, Lu Zheng put the scriptures in his hand back on the bookcase, picked up another book, lowered his head and looked at it, and his heart moved.
《Longchang Zhenren Speaks of the Art of Maintaining Faces》
I flipped through it casually, and I found out that this book "The Art of Maintaining Faces" is not only about maintaining appearance, but also has the effect of adjusting and changing one's own appearance. .
Put down the book and picked up another one.
《Ning Lian Zhenren’s Beauty Method》
Lu Zheng: ??_???
When I glanced at it, I realized that there were as many as seven books of various versions of "Zhu Yan Shu" on the bookshelf.
"Several "Yanzhushu" are different. Some use the inner breath method to maintain the skin and maintain health, some use the spiritual method to maintain the skin and improve the appearance, and some refine the beauty elixir to change the appearance. One is enough." Taoist Priest Yuan Lin introduced harmoniously.
Lu Zheng praised decisively, "Professional!"
This was Lu Zheng's first time here, and he was accompanied by Taoist Priest Yuan Lin. He just wanted to visit and was not in a hurry. Take a closer look.
But even so, Lu Zheng was full of praise for the Sutra Pavilion in Baiyun Temple.
Of course, the collection of books in this Sutra Pavilion is not as dazzling as that of a modern library. There are so many books that you can’t finish them all at a glance, but there are still more than a dozen bookshelves on each floor, and there are many books placed densely packed. books.
In addition to various classics on cultivating immortals, refining energy, mantras and secrets, there are also various senior real people's annotations and thoughts on various cultivation classics. In addition, there are also books about the nature and the world The study of cultivation itself.
In addition to the classics about this sect, there are also books introducing the entire world’s astronomy and geography, demons and ghosts, various forces, medicinal materials and animals, etc.
Lu Zheng took out the book "Baiyun Zhuanyan Dan Refining Method" and opened it, only to find that it was more than just a Zhuyan Dan.
Starting from the impact of various beauty-retaining techniques on the appearance, to the analysis and study of the medicinal properties of the beauty-retaining pill, and then to the selection of medicinal materials, the beauty-retaining pill is divided into the elixir-looking pill and the rejuvenating pill. There are five levels of ordinary beauty elixirs, and the last is the elixir refining process and techniques of the corresponding beauty elixirs.Finally, other alternatives to the optimal antidote to the Zhuyan Dan recipe are also noted.
What the hell is this recipe? This is a damn sutra!
…
After walking around the Sutra Pavilion for a while and deciding that he would come back if nothing happened, Lu Zheng left the Sutra Pavilion and went to Yuan again. Accompanied by Taoist priest Lin, he went to the back hall.
"I've met Master Mingguang! I'm here again!"
"Master Yuan Zheng!"
Taoist Master Mingguang's eyes lit up , smiled and nodded and said, "I heard that you have made rapid progress in Taoism and your progress has been rapid. Congratulations!"
"Uncle, you are overly praised."
Lu Zheng stepped forward and bowed with his hands together. , "Last year, my nephew had no achievements and had no face to return to the mountain. This year, he came back and brought some gifts to his classmates, and asked his uncle to put them in the treasury."
Taoist Master Yuan Lin, "..."
Taoist Priest Mingguang, "..."
The two of them couldn't help but grin, and the few Taoist priests who were helping them looked at Lu Zheng with resentful expressions.
You are humble! You are polite! Have you ever considered our feelings?
Last year, I didn’t have any achievements and I had no face to return to the mountain. This year, I just flew back after hundreds of years of Taoism?
If this is considered an achievement, there won’t be many people in Baiyun Temple!
As expected of a receptionist, Taoist Master Mingguang quickly calmed down his emotions and regained his expression.
"Then Guanli appreciates it, but my nephew has brewed new wine?" Taoist Master Mingguang said with a smile.
The Wuliangye and Huadiao products from the year before last were very popular. Even though Lu Zheng privately exchanged a lot of wine with several good wine-loving masters and uncles in the temple, the wine in the warehouse was still not enough. One year.
If Lu Zheng hadn’t asked Taoist Master Mingzhang to bring back another batch last year, there might have been someone who couldn’t resist being greedy and put aside the dignity of their seniors and went to Tonglin County.
Lu Zheng nodded and patted the gourd.
“Swish, swish, swish!”
A hundred moiré swords and hundreds of large wine jars filled the back hall.
“Buzz!”
The light of luck is entered into the account simultaneously.
