Become a disciple of Taoist Priest Four Eyes

Chapter 543: Merit and Gold Zhi

…

Chen Lin glanced at Li Mansion. In the eyes of outsiders, it was just a wealthy mansion, but in the eyes of those who knew how to look at it, it was different.

A large area of ​​pale yellow mist covered three feet, like a Ganoderma lucidum, standing above Li Mansion.

One hundred thousand merits condensed into a black and yellow ruler.

It takes millions of merits to condense into a golden flower.

It takes five million merits to get one Ganoderma lucidum.

Although human merit is easy to obtain, it is extremely difficult to accumulate so much merit. Unless Fen Tuo, Bai Mei, and Li Jingxu are Qi practitioners who have practiced for hundreds of years; otherwise, ordinary people will have to accumulate it over many lifetimes. Only then can one achieve the Tao.

It was this extraordinary golden zhi that attracted him and his master to this ordinary county town.

As for why Xu Junming came? Of course he came here to recruit disciples.

In the last world, it was precisely because he accepted Qiao Shouxin, a man of profound merit, as his disciple that his cultivation level was almost instantly unlocked. Therefore, he plans to repeat his old tricks in this world.

Of course, if your character is not good, forget it.

There are many ways to obtain merit, and becoming a disciple is just one of them.

The servant who went in to report quickly came out.

"Master, please come in."

Niu Xian responded happily and quickly ran over to report.

"Taoist Master, Mr. Li has agreed, I will take you in."

Xu Junming smiled and nodded, then climbed up the steps.

As soon as they entered the door, Niu Xian and Hou Cheng who were following him were stopped by the servants.

"Two of you, please go to the side hall to rest first."

Although Niu Xian is considered a minor official in the yamen and has some power, he certainly does not dare to offend the Li family master who respects him even more than the county magistrate.

Although he was a little dissatisfied, he still agreed obediently.

"Taoist Master, please come with me."

A young man in a blue robe led Xu Junming around the screen wall, through a hanging flower door, and along the hand-painted corridor to the left courtyard.

As soon as he came in, he saw a tall, majestic-looking old man with his hands above his knees that he had met before.

As for the wealthy middle-aged man, he didn't see it.

When Xu Junming looked over, Yuan Chengdao was also examining him.

The clothes are just that, there is nothing surprising about them. His appearance was not outstanding, but his eyes were as deep as an abyss, as if they could suck people's gaze into them.

Yuan Chengdao also traveled all over the country in his early years and was a knowledgeable person. Later, he was greatly favored by the old lady of the Li family and stayed here as a guard.

He instinctively felt that this young Taoist was extraordinary.

This is an instinct that comes from many years of traveling in the world.

In addition to the Taoist, the boy on his left was dressed similarly and was about six or seven years old. Although he looked ordinary, his face was as white as jade, as if exuding a faint aura, and his eyes were majestic.

If he only looked at his eyes, it would almost give Yuan Chengdao the illusion of being an adult.

"These two people, one big and one small, are probably extraordinary." Yuan Chengdao thought to himself.

These days, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Li family to recruit martial arts masters for the young master, he only knows a few tricks of the three-legged cat skills, and there are too many people coming to show off and deceive him, which annoys him.

So when I heard the report from the concierge, I didn't notify the owner, but planned to check the quality of the other party myself first.

If there is really a good method, it will not be too late to introduce it to the master.

"Yuan Chengdao has met the Taoist priest!"

Xu Junming glanced at his calloused, generous palms. He was obviously a warrior with excellent palm skills.

Moreover, his cultivation level is as good as innate, and in the eyes of ordinary people, he is considered a good player.

After Xu Junming bowed his head, he said, "Xu Junming, a poor fellow, would like to pay a visit to the master of this place."

"I would venture to ask, is the Taoist priest also here to take the young master's martial arts exam?"

"Yes and no!"

Yuan Chengdao frowned slightly, "I wonder what it means?"

"If you want to become my disciple, you must have the qualifications of one in a million, the understanding of one in a hundred thousand, and the mind of one in a million. It is still unclear whether your young master can become a disciple of Pindao. "

Ever since he understood the Tao of Creation in the Immortal Realm and had the Creation Spirit Pool at the level of an innate spiritual treasure, the disciple's qualifications were no longer something he valued.

As long as he is willing, he can easily refine a physical body at the level of the innate Tao body.

But the qualifications are easy to say, but the character and understanding cannot be improved quickly.

Especially the latter, things in heaven and earth that can enhance understanding.

have.

Similar to the bronze mirror in his Dantian.

But so far, he has been practicing Taoism, and the only thing that can improve his understanding is the bronze mirror.

Therefore, mind and understanding are the things he values ​​most.

Especially the former is particularly important.

After all, if your understanding is poor, you can still use a bronze mirror to make up for it, and there are also some legendary treasures of heaven and earth that can improve your understanding.

But he will never accept those with bad character.

After all, he didn't want the disciples he had spent countless efforts to train to become treacherous disciples in the future.

In addition, the character of mind here also includes perseverance.

Without the perseverance, perseverance, and perseverance to pursue the road, no matter how good your qualifications and understanding are, your achievements will be limited in the future.

Seeing the conclusive look of the Taoist in front of him, Yuan Chengdao felt disdainful, thinking that he just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to raise his own worth. He had been in the world for many years, and he had seen many such dramas.

Chen Lin, who was standing next to him, saw the change in his expression and couldn't help but said: "What do you, a junior, know? There are countless people in the spiritual world who want to join my master, but they have all been rejected by him. If it weren't for your master Guangyou Merit, my master will never come over.”

He clearly had the appearance of a boy, but his old-fashioned words and contradictory expression made Yuan Chengdao at a loss what to say.

Xu Junming shook his head slightly, not wanting to waste any more time.

"let's go."

After that, he walked around Yuan Chengdao and walked towards the back room.

Chen Lin nodded and followed.

Yuan Chengdao was angry in his heart, and just about to catch up, he suddenly found that his whole body tightened, and his hands and feet seemed to be tied up in an instant, and he could not move his whole body.

I was so shocked that I just wanted to shout, but I couldn't make any sound.

When the surrounding servants saw this scene, they were so impressed by his majesty that they did not dare to come over.

Xu Junming's consciousness swept through and found the rich middle-aged man Xiantian. He took Chen Lin out of the left courtyard and came to the study in the middle courtyard.

Along the way, the guards who wanted to stop him were blocked by Xu Junming.

"Dang Dang...!"

The bamboo stick hits the floor, the sound is crisp and strong.

Li Shizong, who was studying in the study room, looked up in surprise.

Soon, a tall Taoist priest wearing a green robe, holding a bamboo staff and a green gourd hanging from his waist turned in from the door. Next to him was a little Taoist boy, about six or seven years old, dressed similarly.

"Xu Junming, a poor Taoist, has met a layman."

As the head of the Li family, Li Shizong was obviously no fool. Seeing that the other party came to his study silently and saw him, he knew that he was not an ordinary person.

He quickly put down his book and cupped his fists in ceremony.

"I'll get off again, Li Shizong, and I've met Taoist Xu. ...Please sit down."

"Thank you, layman."

"Somebody come!"

The maid next to her quickly stepped forward.

"Go bring tea."

"Yes, sir."

After the maid goes down.

"I don't know where Changxian Township is? Why are you here at my Li's house?"

"Pindao travels all over the world with his disciples. The whole world is my home. As for why you are here? Haha, I heard that layman Li wanted to recruit martial arts masters for the young master. Pindao happened to be here, so he came to take a look."

"I see."

Li Shizong nodded slightly and said, "To be honest with you, Taoist Master, there are quite a few people who have come to my door in the past few days to teach Quanzi martial arts, but they all failed to meet my requirements. If Taoist Master wants to apply, he still needs to take a test or two."

After stopping Chen Lin who wanted to speak, "I wonder how Master Li wants to test him?"

"There is a guard named Yuan under my sect. He is very strong in martial arts and is especially good at boxing and kicking. It would be great if the Taoist Master can defeat him."

Xu Junming waved, and a gray stream of light flew from outside the door. When he came closer, Yuan Chengdao's figure appeared.

"Is this him the layman is talking about?"

At this time, Li Shizong was stunned by his miraculous scene.

Hearing his question, I felt a sudden thought in my heart. I came back to my senses instantly, stood up quickly, and bowed in salute.

"The Taoist Master is indeed a Taoist master. Li Shizong admires him."

Xu Junming smiled faintly and flicked his fingers, and the seal on Yuan Chengdao was immediately released.

After experiencing the previous scene, Yuan Chengdao knew in his heart that he had really met those legendary cultivators this time.

"I hope the immortal will not blame Yuan Chengdao for his previous offense."

After waving to him, Xu Junming turned his head and said, "Jushi Li, can you invite the young master over?"

Li Shizong, who had also heard some legends about immortals on weekdays, nodded quickly.

"Lao Yuan, please go and bring Ning'er."

Yuan Chengdao nodded and walked out quickly.

Not long after, a boy of about eight or nine years old, wearing a navy blue shorts and a thin face, walked in.

After looking at Xu Junming, the boy walked up to Li Shizong and said respectfully, "My child has met his father."

Looking at his son, Li Shizong showed satisfaction on his face.

"Ning'er, come and see Taoist Xu."

The boy nodded, walked up to Xu Junming, clasped his fists and saluted, like a little adult.

"Meet Taoist Xu!"

After Xu Junming examined it for a moment, he smiled and nodded.

"It's indeed a good qualification."

Although this child is not an innate Taoist body, he still has superior qualifications. Moreover, his eyes were pure and clear, his descriptions were solemn, and he clearly had a good heart.

As for the understanding, it is not clear yet.

More importantly, he saw that most of the merits of the Li family came from this child, and most of the five million good deeds should be attributed to him.

"May I have your name?"

Xu Junming asked subconsciously.

"Reply to the Taoist priest, my name is Li Ning!"

My heart was stunned.

"Li Ning? It can't be such a coincidence, right?"

When I just activated the bronze mirror, I saw three relics sealed deep in the child's sea of ​​consciousness.

Relics are something that can only be born when Buddhists practice to the golden elixir level, similar to the golden elixir of Taoist monks.

However, compared to the Taoist monks who advance to the Nascent Soul through the Golden Pill, the Nascent Soul transforms into the Yuanshen; Buddhism is all relics from beginning to end.

It's just that in different realms, the color of the relics will be slightly different.

For example, the golden elixir realm is only light golden.

The Nascent Soul realm will emit gold and red colors.

In the realm of Yuanshen, it will emit three colors of gold, red and purple.

Now, the three relics in Li Ning's sea of ​​consciousness are flashing with three-color auras, and they are obviously relics equivalent to the realm of the soul.

The presence of relics means that Li Ning was a Buddhist sage in the realm of Yuanshen in his previous life.

And looking at the three relic beads that are round and round, it is obvious that they have reached the peak of the soul realm.

In addition, each relic flashes with different divine patterns, which is a symbol of a skill that has reached its peak. As long as you survive the catastrophe, you will achieve the fruit of Buddhism and Arhat.

These three relics can derive the three great Buddhist magical powers!

As his spiritual consciousness immersed, the eclipse on the relic on the left swam, and soon turned into a giant palm holding up the sky, followed by a Vajra-conquering demon-conquering power that spread into Xu Junming's heart.

"Vajra Giant Spirit Palm!"

Two strange lights, one gold and one white, emanate from the relic in the middle. The former is thick and powerful and has the ability to protect the body; the latter is extremely sharp and has the power to eliminate demons and protect the Tao.

"Big and small sandalwood divine light!"

The last relic was gleaming with flames, exuding endless heat, as if it could explode with the power of burning mountains and boiling seas with just a slight push.

"Polo Divine Flame!"

After briefly understanding the etched inscriptions on the three relics, Xu Junming instantly confirmed his guess.

"Sure enough, it's him, the boss of Qilu Three Heroes, 'Thong-armed Divine Ape' Li Ning!"

Li Ning's daughter is Li Yingqiong, the famous Emei Three Heroes and Two Clouds, the number one protagonist in the entire Shushan world!

And Li Ning himself is a disciple of the Buddhist monk Baimei in Shushan. After being crossed by Baimei at Ningbi Cliff in Mount Emei, he quickly remembered his past. In just a few years, his cultivation skyrocketed and he became a monk who could compete with Xie Shan and the Nine Friends of Kunlun. , a big boss compared to the Seven Immortals of Luofu.

"Taoist priest?"

Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Ning felt uneasy and shouted tentatively.

He woke up from his memories and looked at the curious little guy in front of him.

"Are you willing to become your teacher?"

"I wonder what Chang can teach me?" Li Ning asked in a respectful tone.

Xu Junming smiled lightly.

"I can teach you flying swords, jumping pills, spitting water and fire, entering and exiting the Qingming, transforming and communicating with gods, etc., so that you can fly to the sky in the future and become an immortal and an ancestor."

Li Ning's eyes sparkled, "Can an immortal live forever?"

"The life span of a heavenly immortal is nine thousand, the life span of a true immortal is thirty thousand, the life span of a mysterious immortal is fifty-eight thousand, and the life span of a golden immortal is ninety thousand! If this is immortality, then it is immortality."

Li Ning was limited to the mystery in his womb and could not distinguish the level of immortality. But this doesn't stop him from dreaming.

"If this is the case, I will pay my respects to my mentor!"

Just as he was about to bow his head, he was stopped by Xu Junming.

Looking at his surprised eyes, "Don't rush to become a disciple now. There are some things I need to explain to you clearly in advance."

"My lineage belongs to Taoist Taoism. They do not worship the Three Pure Ones and Four Imperial Guards. They pay attention to the natural way of heaven and the origin of all laws. Except for the ancestors of our sect, I only worship the word 'Tao'. If you join my sect, you should do the same."

"In addition, you were an eminent Buddhist monk in your previous life and had profound cultivation. If you can practice the Buddhist method, you may be able to achieve Buddhism in a hundred years. By then, thousands of practitioners in the world will aspire to ascend to the Western Paradise and live nine thousand years."

"If you give up the Buddhist methods and practice my Taoist method, you will have to practice hard for five hundred years before you can achieve anything."

"I have made it clear to you that there are two paths, one difficult and one easy. It is up to you to decide whether you want to join my sect or not!"

"Li asked boldly, did you know that marriage is prohibited under the Changmen?" Li Shizong said quickly.

Xu Junming shook his head.

"In our Taoist school, there is also a precedent of Liu Fan joining the family, Ge Bao practicing double cultivation, and the couple cultivating the Tao together and ascending to heaven together. Therefore, as long as the two people are in love, marriage is not prohibited under my sect."

Li Shizong's face showed joy.

He knew very well that Buddhism definitely prohibited marriage. Therefore, he was determined not to let his son become a Buddhist, which would ruin the incense of his Li family.

"Ning'er will get rid of the Taoist priest from now on."

After waving to him, "He still needs to decide this matter himself."

Li Shizong turned around with a swish and said in a stern voice: "Ning'er, my father has seen Taoist Master's ability. If you don't hurry up and become a disciple, when will you wait?"

Li Ning was a filial person and nodded after hearing this.

"The disciple decided to join his mentor."

"Have you really decided?"

"Decided!"

"No regrets?"

"I will never regret it!"

Li Ning looked determined.

"In that case, I will accept you as my disciple. However, I have two types of disciples: direct disciples and inner disciples. I will teach you for a few years first. When you grow up and have a stable mind, and can pass my test, you can truly Included in the door wall.”

"I wonder what kind of test it is?" Li Ning asked curiously.

"It's too early now, you'll know then."

After hearing what he said, Li Ning wisely did not ask any more questions.
