Reborn as a snake, creating a magic method in the real world

Chapter 89 Divine Snake! (Second update)

Uncle Zhang had already finished his work and even looked around, but he didn't see Hu Xiaocao, and he almost became anxious.

Seeing Hu Xiaocao's figure, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where did you go, Xiaocao? I thought you were lost. I almost panicked to death."

Hu Xiaocao was a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, Uncle Zhang, for making you worry."

Seeing that Hu Xiaocao was safe and sound, Uncle Zhang felt relieved, and then he noticed the existence of Xie Yixuan next to him.

"It's fine as long as you're okay, right?"

Hu Xiaocao said hastily: "This is the kind brother policeman, he is the one who sent me back."

Uncle Zhang quickly thanked him again.

Xie Yixuan waved his hand and said not to worry, "It's okay, this is all my responsibility."

Seeing that Hu Xiaocao didn't mention going to the Taoist temple, Xie Yixuan didn't talk too much.

After successfully delivering Hu Xiaocao safely, he also prepared to leave.

"Next time, don't run around by yourself."

What Xie Yixuan said was a pun, Uncle Zhang didn't understand it, but Hu Xiaocao did, and his face turned slightly red.

"I see, thank you big brother."

As the sun set and evening fell, the two returned to the village.

"Uncle Zhang, thank you today."

Uncle Zhang waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's a trivial matter. How can you be so polite from a village? If you want to go to the city next time, come see your uncle again."

Hu Xiaocao nodded, thanked Uncle Zhang and hurried home. Amidst the smoke, after running around outside for a day, Hu Xiaocao realized that his stomach was already growling with hunger when he smelled the delicious food.

After opening the door, the woman has gone home and prepared meals.

"Mom, I'm back."

Hu Xiaocao said hello and was about to wash his hands and eat.

The woman looked at Hu Xiaocao and saw that she was safe and in good condition. She could finally let go of her worries after hanging on for a day.

"Where did you go today, Xiaocao?"

The woman suddenly asked, which made Hu Xiaocao a little confused, "No, I didn't go anywhere. I just walked around. Mom, why do you ask like this suddenly?"

Hu Xiaocao felt guilty inexplicably and lowered his head subconsciously.

"But how did I hear that you ran to the city?"

Hu Xiaocao never expected that Aunt Zhang would accidentally say this when she went to burn incense in the temple today, and she would also praise women for being so lucky to have such a filial child like Hu Xiaocao.

The woman's voice was gentle, but the more it was like this, it made Hu Xiaocao feel even more tormented, and she immediately confessed everything.

"I'm sorry mom, I lied, I went to the city with Uncle Zhang today."

When she saw her daughter lying, the woman did not immediately get angry or hold her accountable. Instead, she continued to ask carefully: "Why did you go to the city? Why did you lie to Uncle Zhang and the others?"

"I'm going to the city to do business for Grandpa Shanshen. Last night, Grandpa Shanshen gave me a dream. He asked the messenger sister to come and let me find a nearby Taoist temple."

The woman did not expect that Hu Xiaocao would actually take the dream seriously, and because of a dream, he would hide it from her, hitch a ride with Uncle Zhang, and run to the city alone.

She sighed, really not knowing what to say.

"You, you, you are too courageous. Do you know that doing this makes me very worried. I am running around in the city alone. What if something happens to me?"

"Not only will my mother be sad, but even Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang will feel guilty for the rest of their lives."

After hearing what the woman said, Hu Xiaocao realized the seriousness of the matter, but she didn't think too much about it at the time, not to mention that the mountain god would protect her.

After serious reflection, Hu Xiaocao quickly apologized, "Mom, I will never do this next time."

Hu Xiaocao had a good attitude in admitting his mistake, and with his repeated assurances, it was hard for the woman to blame him. "Okay, next time you must not be impulsive and reckless when doing things, consider the consequences."

After the mother and daughter finished their meal, Hu Xiaocao helped clean up the dishes, and soon lay down on the bed to rest.

"Why did you go to bed so early today?"

Women can't help but feel a little strange.

The answer given by Hu Xiaocao was ridiculous, "I have to go to the dream to report the situation to the messenger sister and the mountain god."

"This child is just a dream, why is he so confused?"

The woman muttered a few words, and then let Hu Xiaocao go, as if she was tired from running into the city during the day.

Maybe today was really exhausted, Hu Xiaocao fell asleep after touching the pillow, the familiar pulling feeling hit again, as if the whole person became light and light.

Faintly, someone could hear his name being called.

Following the progress of the sound, the surrounding blurry scenery gradually became clear, and it was still the temple of the mountain god.

The first time was raw and the second time was familiar. This time, as expected, I saw a familiar figure.

Hu Xiaocao excitedly ran over to say hello, "Sister Messenger!"

"Ah."

The woman nodded as a greeting.

"I found out that there is a Shangqing Temple near here, but there are not many people in the Taoist temple. There are only two Taoist priests, and there are no people. By the way, I also met a kind brother, the policeman, who sent me there. of."

Hu Xiaocao chattered a lot, all about what he saw and heard on the road.

The woman listened quietly.

Hu Xiaocao knew that although Grandpa Mountain God didn't show up, Grandpa Mountain God would definitely be able to hear what she said.

At the end of the sentence, her eyelids started to tremble, and the irresistible tiredness came over again, sweeping over her body.

"Sister Messenger, please tell Grandpa Mountain God that Xiaocao is very serious about completing the tasks he assigned -"

As the voice fell to the ground, the woman's figure dissipated little by little, like a cloud, and the mountain temple that was originally clear around her also instantly became blurred.

……

On the other side of the mountain, Ye Qin also opened his eyes, thoughtfully, "Is it a small Taoist temple?"

According to Hu Xiaocao's feedback, this Taoist temple should be the nearest one, but the incense there doesn't seem to be very good, and there are very few people going there.

But basically everything you need is there.

Moreover, Ye Qin didn't pay much attention to incense, after all, he didn't go to offer incense, as long as the Taoist temple is old enough, there must be a lot of books.

"Perhaps you can go to this Shangqing Temple to have a look."

Ye Qin is a man of action, so he soon decided to take a trip here.

His current speed is very fast, coupled with the blessing of his cultivation base, it can be said that he is flying like lightning, and he is wearing stars and moons along the way.

There are two completely different styles between the city and the mountains. Traces of industrialization can be seen everywhere, and the sea of ​​neon lights embellishes the night like day.

All kinds of people walk in the middle of the road, all busy for their lives.

Ye Qin tried his best to take the path or use the green belt, so he did not attract the attention of passers-by along the way.

After all, according to his current size, he is out of the range of small snakes, and it is easy to startle passers-by.

Because Ye Qin absorbed the qi of heaven and earth, he was able to restrain his aura well and blend with the surrounding environment. Even dogs with a keen sense of smell could not smell its existence.

There were people walking with dogs on the road, but no dogs could detect his existence.

Recalling that when Ye Qin first entered the city, he was chased by a teddy dog. Now that he thinks about those scenes, he still vividly remembers them.

Although the sky was still dark when Ye Qin arrived, there was a faint hint of morning light.

From the perspective of the environment, although it is not as good as the mountain where he is, it is still relatively quiet, and there are many green plants around, but the road is a bit rotten.

Probably because of disrepair, not to mention the potholes, some places are very narrow, and it is really difficult for cars to drive in.

Then there is a layer of bluestone steps covered with green moss. After passing this small slope, you can see a corner of the red building.

Ye Qin looked at the buildings not far away, just like what Hu Xiaocao said, they were indeed dilapidated, and the incense was not strong.

The moonlight shrouded the eaves, and underneath were some faded bricks and tiles, wrapped in silver gauze, which made these tiles more textured and soaked in a little ancient charm.

A lot of the skin on the wall has peeled off, and the color is mottled, making it look a bit bleak.

The sense of history is overwhelming. This Taoist temple should be quite old, and even the handwriting on the plaque has faded, but the handwriting is strong and powerful, revealing a sense of freedom and ease.

"Shangqing Temple."

Ye Qin squinted his eyes, and it seemed that there was an invisible gas covering the Taoist temple in the night, making the dilapidated Taoist temple a little more indescribable.

He took a closer look and realized that the power contained in this breath was not great, it was a bit like spiritual power. It enveloped the entire Taoist temple, making the magnetic field here different from the surroundings.

Ordinary people can't see it, and they can't perceive it, but Ye Qin can perceive it because of his cultivation, absorbing the emperor's fluid, and communicating with the qi of heaven and earth.

Ye Qin looked at it for a while, but didn't understand what it was. Since such a special magnetic field can be formed here, there must be something special about it.

According to Hu Xiaocao, there were not many people in the Taoist temple, only two Taoist priests, and Ye Qin didn't want to disturb them.

In the past, the library had a large location, and Ye Qin was small at that time, so he didn't attract attention at all. Now the Taoist temple is small, it is not easy to find the hidden place, and it is easy to be found.

After all, his current size is no longer that of a small snake. In order to avoid causing panic, Ye Qin decided to cast the magical power of dreams to put the two Taoist priests into a deep sleep, which would be convenient for him.

Ye Qin closed his eyes, and wisps of white mist rose up around him, drifting towards the Taoist temple, and soon came to the room where the two Taoist priests were.

There are two beds in the room, and the interior decoration is also very simple. Apart from the beds, there are only a few tables and chairs, and there is a picture of a Taoist priest meditating at the foot of the mountain hanging on the wall.

There are two futons on the ground, and it can be seen from the depression above that people often meditate on them.

The two Taoist priests were sleeping on the bed, unaware of the approaching white mist.

It can be said that entering Hu Xiaocao's dream world earlier was extremely smooth, and he entered it very quickly.

But when he got here, Ye Qin always felt like there was an invisible wall in front of him, blocking the way, as if there was something protecting this spiritual passage.

"what."

Ye Qin opened his eyes, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he looked at the Taoist temple in front of him. His spirit was unable to enter the spiritual world of these two Taoist priests.

"How could this be?"

The white mist slowly dissipated. Ye Qin had wasted a lot of time just now. At this moment, the sky had begun to show a fish-belly white look.

"Could it be that because the magnetic field here is special and protects these two Taoist priests, my dream magic power has no effect on them?"

<divclass="contentadv">Of course, there is another very important reason, which is that they are sincere in mind and have no distracting thoughts. For people with this kind of spirit and strong will, coupled with the special magnetic field here, they form a natural barrier.

Therefore, his dream powers are ineffective against the two Taoist priests.

However, in the final analysis, the current Ye Qin is too weak, otherwise all obstacles would be in vain.

"It seems that this method will not work."

Ye Qin pondered for a moment, he tossed and tossed for most of the day to no avail, and he did not intend to continue to consume energy, I think this may be God's will.

The magical powers of dreams can't be effective, and the same is true of the magical powers of illusion. Ye Qin didn't want to attract attention, but there was no way.

After coming to this world and practicing cultivation, Ye Qin had a deeper understanding of the word "karma and fate". Maybe God had already planned it.

What's more, he came to read Taoist classics. If he hides his head and shows his tail, and sneaks around, it will be disrespectful, so it's better to be generous.

After thinking through this obsession, Ye Qin felt a little relieved, and crawled towards the Taoist temple.

After such a long delay, it is now close to morning.

At this moment, there was movement in the Taoist temple. I didn't expect the two Taoist priests to get up so early to do morning classes. It could be seen that even though the incense was not good, they were still doing their jobs well.

The old Taoist priest always sleeps lightly when he is old, and the young Taoist priest is also influenced by him, so both master and apprentice always get up very early.

Soon the two of them washed up and prepared to go to the main hall for morning class.

"Disciple, do you still remember what you learned yesterday?"

"Remember! What I studied yesterday was the contents of "Baopuzi"."

"Then I come to test you as a teacher. What is this article about?"

"Xuanzhe is the ancestor of nature and the master of all things. It is as narrow as it is deep, so it is called Weiyan. It is as narrow as it is far, so it is called Miaoyan. When it is high, it can be covered by the crown of the sky, and when it is wide, it is shrouded. Almost eight corners"

The little Taoist spoke catchy, and the old Taoist nodded in satisfaction, "Yes, it seems that the knowledge I taught you has not been forgotten, so do you know what this sentence means?"

This is not a problem for the little Taoist, he smiled, "Xuan Dao is the ancestor of nature and the foundation of all things. It is so deep and vague, so it is called "micro"; it is so long and vast, so it is called "" wonderful"."

While the two were discussing, they entered the main hall, put a stick of incense on the patriarch and the statue of Sanqing respectively, and worshiped reverently.

Then, the master and the apprentice sat facing each other.

"Then let's continue to study the contents of "Baopuzi" today."

"There is a saying in the Golden Elixir chapter that the five grains can still live people. If a person gets it, he will live, and if he takes it, he will die. What's more, the top-grade magical medicine will benefit people ten thousand times as much as the five grains. The golden elixir will benefit people ten thousand times. It is a thing, and the longer it is burned, the more wonderful it will change."

The little Taoist listened fascinated and couldn't help being a little puzzled.

"It is said here that gold is incorruptible. If you take the golden elixir made from gold, then a person can become immortal like gold. Is it really such a magical thing?"

The old Taoist smiled and shook his head, "There is no such thing as easy. If you can achieve such an effect by taking gold, wouldn't it be as simple as drinking water."

"Everything should be done step by step. Nothing can be achieved overnight, not to mention that golden pills are not so easy to practice. Those are all legendary things, and they are a kind of ideological realm. Remember, the most important thing is to be down-to-earth."

The little Taoist seemed a little disappointed, but he was still full of longing for the golden core that the old Taoist said.

"Then, master, do you know if there is anyone in this world who can cultivate a golden elixir?"

This question really stumped the old Taoist at once.

The old Taoist was suddenly silent. At least in his impression, from ancient times to the present, no one has clearly said that he has mastered the golden elixir, and there is no record in various Taoist classics.

It seems that in addition to those beliefs, the immortals who have already become immortals, such as the Taoist ancestor of Sanqing.In this world, it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to enter the Tao through a mortal body, and then cultivate to become an immortal.

Including the author of this scripture, Ge Hong, who is known as the Little Immortal. He has searched for it all his life and firmly believes that refining and taking the golden elixir can lead to immortality. He has a very rich theoretical and practical foundation.

But even this was not successful, but "Baopuzi" he wrote had a great influence on the subsequent development of Taoist alchemy and is also a famous Taoist classic.

Although there are many legends left by our ancestors, some of them cannot be studied, and some are exaggerated. It seems that there has never been anyone who has mastered the golden elixir.

Although cultivating the Tao and believing in it, the old Taoist also knows that some things do not exist.

After deliberating for a while, the old Taoist said: "But if you do good deeds, don't ask about your future."

The result is not important, what is important is the process.

There are many cultivation methods in Taoism. It cannot be said that these methods are useless, but they are slowly accumulated from the experience of predecessors and have left a lot of inspiration for future generations.

Perhaps the actual effect is not great, but from an ideological point of view, it still has the effect of educating the world.

"When a person is in this world, every day he loses is like leading an ox or a sheep to a slaughterhouse. Every time he takes a step forward, death becomes closer. Although this is an ugly example, it is true. The reason why a master does not worry about the dead is not because he does not have desires."

Amidst the curls of cigarette smoke, the old Taoist priest taught attentively, and the young Taoist priest listened very seriously. Just as the first ray of morning light fell in, it shone on the two of them.

Everything is so peaceful and peaceful.

At this moment, Ye Qin was outside the main hall, and faintly heard voices coming from inside. It seemed that the old Taoist priest was teaching the young Taoist priest something.

He leaned closer to take a closer look.

In the hall, there are several important statues of gods such as Yuanshi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun, Daode Tianzun, Jade Emperor, Zhenwu Emperor, Queen Mother of the West, and Emperor Wenchang.

In addition, there is a tall statue of a god in the corner next to it, Ye Qin can't tell which god's residence it is.

However, some residents of the nearby generation will enshrine such statues, which seem to be the kind that pray for the safety of their homes, and they should be local local gods.

It can be seen that these statues have quite a history, and the colors are no longer bright, but rather dim, and even some parts are falling off.

The local statue next to it is in even worse condition. I don't know if it was not pinched well at the beginning, or there was a mistake in the placement process, and it accidentally bumped into it.

Ye Qin's sharp eyes saw a crack running from the back to the entire knee, but it was blocked, so he couldn't see it clearly.

It can be seen that the incense of this Taoist temple must not be good, otherwise it will definitely spend money to repair it, and it will not look so shabby.

Although these statues are in disrepair, they are still very exquisite. The murals and decorations throughout the hall are also very good. It can be seen that a lot of effort was put into them.

"Maybe the incense was okay before, but it will gradually decline later on."

Ye Qin felt a little bit emotional, everything in the world changes from time to time, and the ups and downs are just a matter of a moment.

He wanted to go to other places to see by himself, but what the old Taoist said was not bad.

Because Ye Qin was very close, the conversation between the two could be heard clearly, and it was also easy for others to discover his existence.

The young Taoist priest glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the shadow outside the hall. He thought he was hallucinating. He couldn't help but rub his eyes and interrupted the old Taoist priest's words.

"Master, look there is a snake!"

The young Taoist priest was a little panicked. In contrast, the old Taoist priest was much calmer.

There is a lot of vegetation around, and it is normal for there to be many snakes, insects, rats and ants.

It's not like there weren't snakes, weasels and other creatures that accidentally broke into the Taoist temple before, but they left quickly and had little impact on them.

The old Taoist turned his head and saw that the snake's body was long and thick, and its scales were green, like fine emeralds, but there was a bit of black in it, which looked very transparent.

It's more of a handicraft than a snake scale. The old Taoist priest is well-informed, but he has never seen a snake that looks like this, and he can't see any animality.

I always feel that the snake in front of me gives people an unusual feeling.

The head of poisonous snakes is generally triangular, while the head of non-venomous snakes is generally oval, and the color of the pattern on the back of poisonous snakes is generally brighter.

Although this snake was not venomous, the master and apprentice looked at it for a long time and did not know what kind it was.

Most snakes will not come to provoke you as long as you don't take the initiative to provoke them, not to mention that this snake is still some distance away from them.

The old Taoist said calmly, "It's just a snake, and it's not poisonous, so don't panic."

He neither got up to drive away nor showed a particularly flustered expression, as if there was nothing special about the presence or absence of snakes.

The little Taoist soon became calm after hearing this, his face full of admiration and worship.

I don’t know when he will be able to cultivate to a state like his master, and be able to remain calm even when Mount Tai collapses.

"Disciple, you must understand that everything has its own laws. We humans should not interfere too much and should do what we are doing."

"Tao follows nature, we should conform to nature, take tranquility as the principle, and nothingness as the body."

The little Taoist priest suddenly understood and nodded.

The old Taoist continued to explain the contents of "Baopuzi".

It can be seen that the old Taoist priest is knowledgeable and able to quote scriptures. Apart from "Baopuzi", other Taoist classics are also at his fingertips, and he speaks clearly and logically.

Among them, there are records about the dantian and the technique of inner alchemy.

The dantian occupies a very important position in Taoism, and it is the place where Taoist inner alchemy Dancheng is presented.

It was first seen in the "Laozi Ming" during the reign of Emperor Huan of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and later there are many records in ancient books such as "The Immortal Prince Stele" and "Baopuzi Di Zhen".

"The upper dantian is the root of nature, and the lower dantian is the root of life. If you practice life and soul, you can get through the big and small circles, and reach the realm of refining the spirit and returning the emptiness."

"The "Nanjing" believes that the lower dantian is the ancestor of life, the source of vitality, the foundation of the internal organs, the root of the twelve meridians, the meeting of yin and yang, the door of breathing, and the hometown where water and fire meet."

After all, the little Taoist priest is too young, and these ancient records and quotations are still a bit jerky and difficult for him to understand. In addition, he wakes up early, and his eyelids will fight if he is not careful.

At first he was able to barely hold on, but at the back, the old man's voice seemed to have magical hypnotism, which made him unconsciously feel drowsy.

"Ah chirp!"

The little Taoist felt that the tip of his nose was itching badly, as if something had been swept over him, he couldn't help but sneezed, and his whole body immediately became sober.

Looking up, he saw the fly whisk in the old Taoist priest's hand, and his face that was filled with hatred for steel.

"Master, I was wrong."

The little Taoist quickly apologized.

The old Taoist priest shook his head, and his whisk pointed at the door of the hall, "You, you, let me tell you what you are good at. You have been with me for so long, and you still doze off in the morning."

As he spoke, the old Taoist priest looked out the window.

"A snake listens more seriously than you."

The little Taoist quickly looked over and found that it was true.

The snake didn't leave, it just hovered at the entrance of the main hall, and after so long, it still kept its position just now, never changing, keeping a safe distance from them.

It gives the impression that he understands and listens very carefully.

When the old Taoist's words fell, the snake head nodded in a rather humane manner, as if echoing what the old Taoist said.

???

Little Taoist: I'm offended.
