Taoist chanting

A trace of pity flashed in Yue Anyan's eyes, he turned his head to the second senior brother who was walking outside and said, "I'll go to the mountain later, second senior brother, let me talk about this matter."

"No, I'll talk about it myself."

The second senior brother walked into the wind and snow, and soon went down the mountain far away.

At the beginning of noon, the West Hall.

Zhang Wenfeng put down the talisman pen, and the six pieces of protective jade pendant were painted into five pieces, and the last one unexpectedly cracked into a table of powder fragments, and the spiritual energy was exhausted.

Slightly shaking his head and laughing, he has been concentrating for a long time, he just lost his mind for a moment, and the brushwork was too heavy, which caused chaos and destruction of Zhuoyu's inner aura.

No matter how simple an amulet is, there is no room for distraction.

He got up and picked up the pieces on the table and put them into the bucket next to him.

Picking up a linen towel, soaked it in water and wrung it dry, carefully wiped and wiped off the red ink runes left on the front of the finished jade pendant. The runes had penetrated into the clumsy jade with Yuan Qi, and the traces on the outside were useless.

I saw the second senior brother gather up the oil-paper umbrella and put it at the door, and walked in the door wrapped in the cold wind.

Zhang Wenfeng subconsciously glanced at the clepsydra, and before the hour, he asked with a smile, "It's snowing heavily today, how many apprentices are here?"

The second senior brother went to the tea table and sat down, and said, "Everyone is here, they have changed their clothes, and the parents have sent them back. The fourth junior sister is teaching the basic etiquette to the apprentices in the training hall, so as not to make noise and make mistakes in the main hall later."

Zhang Wenfeng smiled and nodded, picked up a triangular carving knife on the table, looked at the jade face, and considered what to carve. Such a bare amulet is not good-looking, and asked: "Brother, what's the matter? Why don't you tell me."

He knew Zhang Wenxing's temperament very well, if he went up the mountain at this time, he must have encountered troublesome things that were difficult to decide, and the second senior brother had the word "something wrong" written on his face.

The second senior brother stared at the coffee table, hesitated for a while, and said: "I... accepted an orphan who has no qualifications!"

When they met, the second senior brother felt guilty again and dared not speak up.

All the well-thought-out words are useless.

Guanzhu has never missed a job, he is impulsive this time, should he discuss it before agreeing?

Zhang Wenfeng thought for a while, and knew who it was. He nodded and said, "It's snowing so hard and it's freezing cold. It's a sincere opportunity for him to come here by trekking. Senior brother decides to accept it, so he accepts it."

The second senior brother didn't expect the temple master to be so talkative, so he complied, na na said: "But... Master's legacy..."

"At this time and at that time, Master's original intention was not to let the mundane affairs disturb the cleanliness of the mountain. Now that the formation of the mountain gate has just been formed, who can come up the mountain without permission?

I accepted Wei Xingde's family's unqualified child to give Wei Xingde face and let him work for the Taoist temple with peace of mind. You accepted this orphan to save a life, so I will not pursue it this time, but there is one thing, let's not make an example! "

Zhang Wenfeng said in his mouth that the carving knife in his hand was like a brush, and he quickly turned and carved seals on the jade surface, with extremely skillful techniques.

This is in line with the second brother's nature.

Perhaps, the second senior brother's cultivation in the future will be smoother than most monks.

There is nothing to say about the character, but sometimes it is not necessary to admit death. If someone uses and encourages an honest person to break the rules, it will cause great harm, and he will not think that he is wrong.

To act rashly, and to cultivate freely, must be within a certain framework of rules.

He must give the second senior brother the

As an admonition, don't act so recklessly next time, within the rules, you can discuss it.

"Yes, follow the Lord's orders!"

The second senior brother got up and clasped his fists, saying: "Thank you, the Lord, for your fulfillment! Blessed be the immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!"

After settling down a concern and receiving a few words of training from the master, he walked out the door at ease.

"Brother, please stop for a moment, I will give you a gift."

Zhang Wenfeng said in his mouth that the carving knife had finished the last stroke. He gently blew off the powder on the jade surface, and handed the carved clumsy jade pendant to the surprised second senior brother, saying: "This amulet can be used for timidity." Exorcise ghosts, it will warn when evil spirits approach, and it can trigger a low-level body shield wave, you should wear it on your body."

He is a hand practicer, and prepared a few low-grade amulets for the old cripple and the others, so he will not be plotted against when he goes out.

On a temporary basis, I engraved one and gave it to the second senior brother.

The second senior brother took the jade pendant that was freshly carved out of the oven. It was not polished, and the notches were sharp and angular. He recognized and read a line of elegant cursive script on the jade surface: "If you don't follow the rules, you can't make a square."

Different from other jade surface carvings, ancient seal characters, or gold scripts, or oracle bone inscriptions on insects and birds are used.

The second senior brother understood the Master's painstaking admonition, tied the jade pendant around his waist solemnly, cupped his fists as a salute, turned and went out.

Zhang Wenfeng smiled, and continued to carve characters on the jade surface. This time he used the ancient seal script that complied with the rules, and neatly engraved the three characters "Xianling Guan" in the middle of the jade pendant.

A voice suddenly broke the silence: "'If you don't follow the rules, you can't make a circle', please tell me the source, which famous Confucianist today?"

The mountain god of the former dynasty was a disciple of Confucianism, and he knew the taste of Confucianism after hearing the elegant meaning.

Zhang Wenfeng paused his hands and almost broke the jade pendant. He said with a smile, "I feel it and remonstrate with my senior brother who is easy to get into the horns. Fellow Daoist Zhong praised me too much. This is not necessary."

Zhong Wenyong saw that the other party was unwilling to tell the truth, so he kept silent and continued to read and meditate.

In just nine words, he read out many truths in the world.

Zhang Wenfeng spent some time engraving the same words on the remaining jade pendants, tidied them up, and walked out the door with clean hands.

The sky and the earth are white, and the wind and snow are a little lighter.

Walking along the corridor that drifted into the thin snow, I walked to the main entrance of the main hall and stood there, standing tall and straight, enjoying the snow leisurely. After standing for about a quarter of an hour, I heard a sound coming from the foot of the mountain, a child screaming in a low voice , and Yue Anyan scolded, "Sorry, be quiet".

After a while, the donkey rushed up the mountain first, kicking up the snowflakes.

Seeing the viewer watching from a high place, the donkey who started playing around became honest immediately, and the stupid donkey stopped being mischievous and naughty kicking the snow.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, the apprentices dressed as little Taoist boys in dark blue thick cotton robes, new cotton shoes wrapped in oilcloth, and straw sandals worn by children on the outside, tied tightly, one by one. Using both hands and feet, they climbed up the mountain from the thick snow, and some fell with snow foam on their hair.

No one complained of being tired or suffering, they were all country children, mostly poor and wild.

When I was at home, my parents repeatedly threatened and emphasized that when I went up the mountain, I had to obey the rules. If I was expelled and returned home within three years, be careful that I would eat fried pork with bamboo shoots on my buttocks.

In the lead is the dark young Wei Jingjie, who helps many children along the way to maintain order.

After going up the mountain, the boy quickly followed the previous arrangement and organized the apprentices behind him to stand up one by one.

The second senior brother and Yue Anyan escorted the youngest ten or so apprentices up the mountain, a total of 37 apprentices, including Wei Xingde's youngest son Wei Jingcheng and the little orphan Xiaoya, formed a third team and climbed up the steps to the blue brick yard. Under the leadership, they clasped their fists and saluted to the spectator.

"I have seen the Lord!"

"I've seen you all, Blessed Boundless Heavenly Venerate!"

After greeting each other, Zhang Wenfeng turned around and stepped into the hall first.

Before entering the main hall, everyone followed Yue Anyan's example and patted off the snowflakes on their bodies, knocked the snow on their straw sandals, and then filed into the main hall. They all gathered together in a solemn voice, suppressing the occasional cough.

Burn incense with the temple master and kneel down to worship the statue of Taoist ancestors, and then kneel down to worship the ancestor Xuanmu and the tablets of the temple masters.

There are no rules to preach, except for the prayer and chanting of the Lord.

Candles and oil lamps are brightly lit, incense and mist curl up, and the atmosphere is solemn and solemn.

With the sound of "ding", the Dharma bell rang.

"After the ceremony, retreat!"

The apprentices exited the hall in an orderly manner, descended the steps and lined up on the field floor.

Yue Anyan said with a smile: "Go down the mountain, go back to Qingzheng other courtyard for dinner, enough rice!"

The little guy's eyes lit up one by one.

Chapter 152 Reward, test

On the afternoon of the [-]th, the snow stopped and the wind stopped.

Zhang Wenfeng walked into Master Wu's hall with fists in his hands, greeted the three people sitting around drinking tea, and said to Chen Qingqiao, "Guan Chen, how is your recovery?"

Wu Ganping got up and walked to the desk, and said with a smile: "I applied Xuanyunguan's 'bone paste', and had to be treated by Master Meng twice. good fellow."

Chen Qingqiao bowed with a smile, and said: "Thank you, Guanzhu Zhang, for your concern, it's all right now."

Fu Gujing poured a cup of tea for Zhang Wenfeng, who was sitting down, and said, "I heard that you and He Guangjun had three moves, and there was no winner. You are amazing!"

Zhang Wenfeng kowtowed his fingers twice to show his thanks, and said with a smile: "He Daochang is merciful. I have suffered a crushing defeat. There is no winner or loser. Brother Fu, don't make fun of me." He picked up the teacup and drank the tea. Greeting, he got up and walked over.

Wu Ganping handed the two badges and said, "The ID card for the individual and the token of the law enforcement guard were delivered together yesterday. I heard that there are more and more bids for ID cards for the individual in various states. Daolu branch, don't have to go back and forth."

Zhang Wenfeng took the badge, and after a little inspection, the identity card of the uninitiated person was still a white jade card with the same decoration.

The words on the front changed to "Da'an Daolu Academy", "Nanjiangzhou Daolu Branch", and "Zhang Wenfeng, Sanren".

Received two official badges and returned the previous temporary ID badges.

Sign and register on the dossier, and complete due procedures.

Wu Ganping handed another hand note and said with a smile: "The reward for the Xiahe Village case has come down, you go to the accounting room first, and there will be a few magic circles to cooperate with other law enforcement guards, teach you, and cooperate with each other in future missions It's also convenient." Transsion explained: "For the cooperation of the magic circle, a formal law enforcement guard token is needed to communicate with the Qi machine."

Zhang Wenfeng glanced at the paper, which read "One hundred spiritual stones, three first-order healing pills, one wrist blade for law enforcement and defense, and a thousand taels of silver ticket", he clasped his fists in thanks, walked out of the room, and went for a trip The accountant, not long after, he carried a blue cloth package and walked into his small room.

Unpacking the package, first put a small package of spirit stones and a stack of banknotes into the storage bottle.

For him, the more spirit stones the better, he accumulated money, and when his cultivation reached a high level, he would go to the county and state cities to buy all kinds of treasures he needed.

Open the porcelain bottle, pour out a red healing pill, sniff the smell, and identify the color and size, so as not to be unfamiliar with the pill next time.

After reading the attached paper carefully, the Healing Pill has excellent curative effect on various troublesome injuries such as severe damage to the internal organs, entry of foreign energy into the body, and damage to the meridians.

The names of the items researched by the Daolu Academy are relatively simple and straightforward.

However, there are unique features, this bottle of elixir is very suitable for him, it is a rare good thing.

Received the elixir, picked up the wrist blade of the black scabbard and pulled it out to look at it. The overall black color is very ordinary. I tried it by infusing Yuan Qi, but found nothing unusual. I picked up the paper with the wrist blade and looked at it. Once again, slightly disappointed.

This wrist blade is equipped with law enforcement guards as a secondary weapon for self-defense.

The characteristic is sharp.

Take some time to practice the wrist blade again, tie the pocket-sized wrist blade to the inside of the right arm with the attached string, and put down the sleeve to cover it.

When I came to the main hall of the courtyard again, I saw a man from the Daolu branch that I had seen a few times before sitting on the chair beside the tea table, with an uncontrollable joy on his face, holding a white jade card for the temporary identity of an individual in his hand, Sitting upright, nodding.

"Brother Zhang, let me introduce you. This is Zhu He, a newly promoted individual from our Daolu branch, and also the guest law enforcement guard of our Daolu branch."

Wu Qianping greeted warmly.

Zhang Wenfeng stepped forward and clasped his fists: "Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Zhu, Blessed Blessed Boundless Heavenly Venerable!"

The man named Zhu He was a bit cautious, and hurriedly returned the gift: "Thank you Zhang...friend Daoist, Daozu is merciful!"

After sitting down to drink tea and chatting for a while, Wu Ganping let the uncomfortable Zhu He go back first, got up, took out a thin booklet from the cabinet behind the desk, and handed it to Zhang Wenfeng. Let him take it back to transcribe and study it, and then they will actually practice it a few times, it's very simple.

Zhang Wenfeng put the booklet in his arms.

"Brother Zhang, you may not know that these days, our hospital has added three new avatars.

"Oh, good news...they took Qingqi Powder?"

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you. At the beginning of the surge of spiritual energy, there were frequent occurrences in various places, and monsters and evil things took the opportunity to stir up trouble, especially the last time the Wuxiu and thieves made troubles and tragic things. Let go of the restrictions on Qingqi powder, first give out two coins of Qingqi powder in advance to the Taoist pawns who serve in the Daolu branch of each city."

Fu Gujing explained, then shook her head and added: "Everything has advantages and disadvantages. Some people can't bear it, and they overdose at one time, leading to collapse and death, or failing to achieve success and losing the foundation of their practice. There are also three or two."

Zhang Wenfeng was silent, the second senior brother was very adventurous that time, it was really a fluke.

"Life and death are fate, no wonder who."

Wu Ganping said with emotion, changed the subject at the right time, and asked: "Brother Zhang, I heard that you have arranged a large gossip array to protect the mountain by yourself?"

Several people looked at Zhang Guanzhu at the same time.

With the deepening of the knowledge of the formation, Zhang Wenfeng already knew that this matter was a bit shocking.

He had already prepared his speech to deal with the investigation, and said with a smile: "The master thinks too highly of me. The Taoist temple has a detailed map of the mountain protection formation, and the trend of the mountain shape is marked on the year, Geng, time, and month, which saves me the trouble of calculating." , all I have to do is follow the gourd and draw a ladle, planting the pillars to activate, how can it be as exaggerated as you said, the master?"

Wu Ganping laughed, "Brother Zhang is also very good, he has a deep research on the Bagua formation."

"Where, I can only scratch the surface, and I have to ask fellow Taoists for advice."

Zhang Wenfeng clasped his fists humbly.

Chen Qingqiao only listened to him, he couldn't get in the way, he was very envious of the detailed inheritance of the mountain protection array in Xianlingguan, and there were a lot of talents in Xianlingguan, and there were brothers and sisters to help Guanzhu Zhang, so that Guanzhu Zhang had no worries, I heard that there was a new recruit Many apprentices.

He sharpened his head to dig into the camp, and he contributed to the Xiahe Village case, and this time the reward was quite generous.

He was finally able to purchase Qingqi Powder, cultivate Taoist priests of Qingshui Temple, and recruit apprentices to slowly develop his power.

It is too difficult for a person to fight alone.

How could he have free time to practice the complicated and headache formation?

While talking, Wu Qianping suddenly took out a small, light and thin array disc from his sleeve pocket, glanced at the two white light spots on it, and said with a smile: "A master is coming, let's go and meet him."

The big formation in the city was opened, and as the head of the courtyard, he could sense the masters above the energy transformation level entering the city through the formation.
