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

Chapter 93 The grace of enlightenment! (Second update)

Ye Qin has doubts, but he can't be sure yet.

Apart from this inexplicable itching, there were no bad effects or changes on his body, and it was slowly fading away. Ye Qin put this worry aside for the time being.

Regardless of whether he has scales or horns, it is not a bad thing anyway. He is actually looking forward to the day when he transforms into a dragon, but it is obviously too early now.

After these few days, after feeling that the cultivation level in his body was consolidated, Ye Qin planned to go to the Taoist temple again before the thunder disaster came.

Cause and opportunity meet, there is a beginning and an end.

Ye Qin was awakened by the words of the old Taoist priest, so he adopted the art of external elixirs and refined the elixirs, finally condensing the acquired Qi in his body to form a Qi mass.

This is the gift of education.

Ye Qin glanced at the herbs next to him and selected a ginseng that was in good condition.

This is what the animals accidentally dug up while looking for herbs.

Ye Qin went to the Taoist temple again with ginseng in his mouth. This could be regarded as a 'snake love accident'. In any case, he had won the love of the old Taoist priest. He did not like to owe others.

Of course, there is another more important reason:

Taoist temple, there is something he is interested in!

Previously, Ye Qin was anxious to go back and wanted to condense Qi, so he did not stay in the Taoist temple for a long time.

Now that he has made a breakthrough and reached the first realm of the second stage of practice, his cultivation has also been consolidated. This time he has enough time, and after the breakthrough, he can conduct new visualizations.

And his new visualization objects come from Taoism.

This time Ye Qin went to the Taoist Temple for better observation.

After a long journey, I finally arrived at the Taoist temple before dark. I still entered through the main entrance and vaguely heard the voice of the old Taoist priest.

"The so-called good people are respected by everyone, blessed by heaven, blessed and prosperous, kept away from all evils, protected by gods, whatever they do will be accomplished, and gods can hope for it."

"So, Master, what you are saying is that we should always be kind and do more good deeds no matter where we are. In this case, God will protect us and blessings will follow."

The little Taoist priest's voice was a bit puzzled, "But why are we doing so many good deeds, but the Taoist temple is still not very popular. If this continues, our Taoist temple will close down."

The old Taoist priest's whisk hit the little Taoist priest's head neither lightly nor hard, and his voice was full of indifference.

"My teacher usually teaches you, but do good deeds and don't worry about your future. If you do good deeds just to get rewards, what's the difference between you and those people in the world who are just seeking fame and reputation."

"People are doing it, and God is watching, and God is watching."

The little Taoist priest covered his head and admitted his mistake very sincerely, "Master, I know I was wrong, and I will not have such thoughts next time."

The old Taoist nodded in satisfaction.

"The husband's heart starts with good deeds. Even though the good deeds are not done yet, the auspicious spirit has already followed. Therefore, the auspicious person speaks good words, sees good things, and does good deeds. If there are three good deeds in one day, blessings will surely come from heaven in three years."

The little Taoist priest couldn't help but asked again: "Master, when will our blessing be--"

The old Taoist priest raised his eyebrows slightly, his aura calm and intimidating, "You have forgotten what I taught you just now!"

The next words were immediately swallowed up by the little Taoist priest, and he smiled and said: "Master, don't worry, I definitely didn't mean this."

The voices of the master and the apprentice gave this abandoned and dilapidated Taoist temple a little more vitality.

It has to be said that the old Taoist priest has some real qualities, which can be seen from his attitude towards "Tao".

If you are not a sincere Taoist, you will definitely not be able to say such a thing. It can also be seen that the Taoist is indifferent to fame and wealth and does not pay attention to those external things.

The little Taoist priest looked at the shadow outside the hall and discovered Ye Qin's presence.

"Hey, another snake ran in!"

The little Taoist priest exclaimed, probably because it had not been long since Ye Qin left last time, and he was deeply impressed, so he soon found that this snake looked familiar.

"It feels like I've seen it somewhere before. Isn't this the same snake as last time!"

After all, Ye Qin's appearance was quite special, so the little Taoist priest still remembered him.

He slapped his head suddenly and said, "Master, come here and take a look. The snake came here again last time."

The strange snake didn't stay long, and seemed to leave something on the ground.

The little Taoist priest ran over curiously and was stunned, suspecting that he was hallucinating. There was a yellow plant lying on the ground with countless roots and an outline that looked a bit like a human figure.

It’s actually a ginseng root!

At this moment, the old Taoist priest heard the noise and came out, "What does it sound like?"

The little Taoist priest stammered, "Master, master, snake, ginseng"

Because he was too surprised, the little Taoist priest couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have even suspected that he had just hallucinated.

The old Taoist priest also saw the existence in the little Taoist hand, "Where did you get this ginseng?"

The little Taoist priest subconsciously replied: "The snake gave it to me."

Old Daoist: ? ? ?

The little Taoist priest swallowed his saliva and said, "Master! That snake just sent me a ginseng root!"

"I'm afraid you didn't wake up——"

The old Taoist priest picked up the ginseng and observed it carefully. The roots were intact and it should be the wild type. It was also relatively old. If it were put on the market, it would probably sell for a lot of money.

The little Taoist priest still had a mysterious expression on his face. He had not recovered from the shock just now and rubbed his eyes.

"It should be. I just saw that the snake seemed to have put something in it. When I came over, the snake was gone, and there was only this ginseng on the ground."

The master and disciple looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

"Is it possible that this ginseng root was really sent here by a snake?"

The key is to give them ginseng for no reason. It seems that the intersection between the two parties was the previous one.

The old Taoist gave morning lessons to the little Taoist priest, and the snake stayed there as long as he talked.

A ridiculous idea came into the minds of the master and the apprentice.

"Could it be that the snake understood what you said, Master, so it specially sent ginseng as a thank you this time?!"

"This is the so-called snake love accident! It's my fault for being so particular."

The little Taoist priest was half right.

The old Taoist priest glared at the young Taoist priest, and knocked the whisk lightly, "What are you talking about?"

The little Taoist couldn't help but mutter, "I'm not wrong either."

Although this sounds really bizarre, and there are many stories of animals repaying kindness, this is the first time that an animal has reciprocated a favor after hearing the sermon.

It is said that all things have animism. At such an old age, the old Taoist has seen a lot of storms and waves, but he has never seen this kind of situation before.

A snake could listen to the sermon, and even gave him a ginseng root in the end as a token of gratitude.

Speaking of these things, it was simply a fantasy, and those who didn't know thought he was making up stories.

But the little Taoist priest witnessed it with his own eyes, not to mention that this ginseng cannot be faked.

It can't be that someone just left it here for no reason.

The Taoist temple is remote and not many people come here, let alone leaving such precious ginseng here.

The master and the apprentice hurriedly looked for the snake, but unfortunately, they did not find it.

The snake came and went without any warning, and its every move was full of mystery, which left a profound impact on the minds of the master and the disciple.

However, this incident is only the beginning.

Ye Qin put down the ginseng and walked around the Taoist temple. The main purpose of his visit this time was to choose new objects for visualization.

It just so happened that he had made a breakthrough, and it was time to start visualizing the new creation of heaven and earth.

The second realm is inextricably linked to Taoism, and this may be an invisible cause and effect.

Taoism pays attention to inner alchemy, including inner alchemy and outer alchemy. The development in this aspect is relatively systematic and complete. Ye Qin wanted to condense it into an elixir, and he happened to be inspired by it.

Combined with his own development, he created his own special path to alchemy.

The Imperial Liquid Serum is used to guide the life essence from the herbs, and then the two are combined to allow the acquired Qi to remain in the body, and then further form the Qi Pill.

Therefore, he decided to choose the visualization objects at this stage from Taoism, believing that they could complement his own Qi elixir.

And judging from the current situation, apart from Taoist temples, there is nothing in the outside world that interests him and is more suitable for him.

As for the mountains and rivers, the sun, the moon and the stars... I'm very interested in it, but it's important for snakes to know themselves.

Therefore, after considering all kinds of considerations, Ye Qin made this trip to the Taoist temple.

There are many objects that can be visualized in Taoist temples, and the most powerful ones are the statues of gods, such as Sanqing, Jade Emperor, Queen Mother of the West, Emperor Dongyue, Lu Xian, etc.

But judging from the current situation, these statues are not suitable for Ye Qin to visualize for the time being. After all, the difficulty is relatively high. According to his current state, he has not yet reached that level.

<divclass="contentadv">During the visualization, the characters are the most difficult, not to mention their identities are very different. Let’s not mention whether there are gods in the world. Even if there are not, they have been worshiped by people for thousands of years. The superimposed power of the spirit of faith will also be very terrifying, and it is not suitable for visualization at all. If you are not careful, it will easily be backlashed, and it will be self-defeating.

In addition to these, there are Tai Chi Bagua patterns that can be visualized, as well as Taoist interior scenes, etc. After Ye Qin's careful consideration, these are not suitable. The thoughts and principles contained in them are too profound, and the current Ye Qin cannot understand them at all. Great truth.

Ye Qin walked around the Taoist temple and already had an idea in his mind.

He walked out of the Taoist temple and came to the bluestone steps outside. There were many green plants around, which could hide his figure well.

From this angle, you can see the entire Taoist temple not far away.

Ye Qin looked at it carefully. He had already seen the detailed structure of the Taoist temple inside.

Because the Taoist temple is relatively small, the building area is not large, but although the sparrow is small, it is well-equipped and has everything it should have.

The main hall also has side halls and wing rooms.

To be honest, the scale of Taoist temples was not small in the past, but with the rapid changes of the times, more and more temples have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

Compared with the number of temples, there are too few Taoist temples.

And this Taoist temple with a long history has begun to be forgotten by everyone, and no one remembers its former prominence.

Although the Taoist temple is dilapidated and abandoned, on the one hand it is because the Taoists and others have no money to renovate it, and on the other hand it is because it has a long history.

It can be seen that this building has been in existence for decades. It has experienced wind and rain. In the long river of time, the original bright colors have gradually faded, leaving only a mottled appearance.

It is like a silent wise man, silently watching the prosperity and incense of the Taoist temple since its initial establishment, and slowly moving towards aging.

Things rise and fall according to God's will.

Nothing can remain prosperous for a long time. What is prosperous will naturally decline.

Ye Qin had previously observed the interior of the Taoist temple, which was a balanced and symmetrical building. According to the Eight Diagrams, Qian Nan Kun Bei, that is, the sky is south and the earth is north, with the meridian as the central axis and a north-south layout.

The halls dedicated to Taoist gods are all located on the central axis, such as Sanqing. On both sides, side halls are set up to worship the gods according to the symmetrical principle of sun to the east and moon to the west.

This symmetrical layout embodies the hierarchical idea of ​​"the noble is in the middle".

At the same time, according to the ideas of yin and yang and the five elements, details of the layout and placement were not neglected, especially the position where the old Taoist priests meditated, and the futon was located due east.

The green dragon in the east is a wood belonging to Yang, which is in line with the purpose of Taoist practitioners to achieve "pure Yang" and return to "Tao".

Even the layout of the side hall corresponds to the four elements of wood, fire, metal, and water. With the addition of earth in the center, it can be said that the five elements are complete.

It is said that all things are divided into five elements, and the five elements circulate and reproduce each other, so the five elements also occupy a relatively important position in Taoism.

The furnishings in Taoist temples all use the number nine, which is the number of nine and nine.

In Taoism, there is also a saying that Tao gives birth to one thing and creates all things.

Moreover, there is a well drilled in the Taoist temple. In Taoism, Yang Qi is abundant. This well also has the symbolic meaning of the balance of Yin and Yang and the harmony of heaven and earth.

Even the outside of the well adopts the pattern of auspicious beasts, which can be said to be a powerful one.

It coincides with the Taoist idea that goodness is like water.

The little Taoist priest also placed a few green potted plants around the ancient well as decoration and embellishment, no more, no less, exactly nine pots.

The layout and decoration of the entire Taoist temple, as well as the location of the statues, can be said to be full of care and are not placed casually.

Although it is small in scale, it does not lack everything it should have, and it is even more rigorous than ordinary Taoist temples.

Tai Chi, Yin and Yang, Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, Nine and Nine Return to One, and other famous Taoist ideas are all implemented in it.

The reason why Ye Qin pays so much attention and understands so thoroughly is because the goal of his visualization this time is - "Taoist Temple"!

The entire Shangqing Temple is his visualization object!

The best is like water, quiet and inactive.

Those pictures of Taoist gods are not suitable for direct visualization, because they are not suitable yet.

In this case, Ye Qin simply took a different approach and directly visualized the Taoist temple, thus avoiding facing those statues head-on.

After this investigation, combined with the internal environment of the Taoist temple and the surrounding structures, this idea was further confirmed.

But the concept of superior purity is not so easy to visualize.

Although it is just a building, in terms of physical area, it is the largest of the conceivable objects currently.

Of course, this refers to the micro level.

The white bones he visualized earlier had a certain shape. From Ye Qin's macroscopic perspective, the moon behind him was not a big entity. The clouds, thunder and lightning behind him were all large or small.

The Shangqing Temple in front of us is a real building, or an immovable dead object.

This means that it is different from the previously visualized objects, so the method of visualization should also be different.

Ye Qin was calm, but found that he could not fully immerse himself.

It always felt like there was an invisible film in front of him blocking his sight, preventing him from fully observing the entire Taoist temple.

It took a lot of effort to formulate a specific Taoist temple in my mind, but it was quickly shattered.

"Maybe the way I visualize is wrong?"

Ye Qin thought that he knew enough about the entire Taoist temple, but maybe this understanding was only superficial, and there were other places that he had missed.

"Since this is a Taoist temple, I can try to approach it from a Taoist perspective."

Taoist thought is that humans follow the earth, the earth follows the sky, heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature.

Tao follows nature, governs by doing nothing, and must live in harmony with the surrounding nature.

Even the layout of the entire Taoist temple has always implemented the idea of ​​harmony between man and nature.

Since Ye Qin wants to visualize the Taoist temple, he cannot just look at the Taoist temple alone, but must also connect it with the surroundings.

After thinking about this, Ye Qin was not in a hurry to meditate, but began to walk around.

Haste makes waste, he understood this long ago.

Ye Qin leisurely walked around the Taoist temple. He had to say that although the place was a bit remote, the environment was really quiet, and the sounds of insects and birds were endless.

Compared with his own mountain top, it was definitely a little worse, but compared to the surrounding areas, it was already pretty good.

Ye Qin picked a place with the highest terrain. Although it was hidden, the view was very wide. The Taoist temple was not far away, and from here you could clearly overlook the entire scene.

Not only is the interior of the Taoist temple very particular, but the location of the Taoist temple is also very good.

On the way here, Ye Qin once saw a small stream, which happened to be in the direction of the Taoist temple. It ran from south to east. The water in the stream was clear and transparent, and the water quality was sweet. You could see small fish swimming around.

The method of Feng Shui is to get water first.

The position of water is very important in Feng Shui. If the water in this place is very good, then the position will definitely not be much different.

On the contrary, if it is in a bad land, a place where no grass grows, even the water will smell bad.

It can be seen that water is closely related to the local environment and can reflect certain things.

There are many green plants along the way, which can be said to be full of vitality and greenery. Coupled with the gurgling streams, they merge with each other, follow the natural way, and breed a steady stream of vitality, forming a good cycle.

The terrain of the Taoist temple is slightly higher, while the surrounding areas are slightly lower. The terrain chosen is a place where stars surround the moon, which is a good place to gather blessings and gain energy.

From Ye Qin's position, the entire Taoist temple looks like a turtle walking forward with its head held high, or like a turtle carrying the Taoist temple on its back.

The bluestone steps in front of the Taoist temple are as curved as a swimming snake.

The two complement each other and form a totem symbol of the combination of turtle and snake, just like the head Xuanwu. It is said that this is the incarnation of Emperor Zhenwu and the scene of the unity of nature and man that the masters pursue.

Although this place is remote and the terrain is not complicated, there are mountains and rivers. Presumably the founders of the Taoist temple must have had high attainments in Feng Shui, otherwise they would not have chosen this location.

Feng Shui is not a superstition, it is an important knowledge in architecture, and it does have scientific basis.

Even today, most buildings, whether official or private, comply with Feng Shui requirements.

A good Feng Shui treasure land can form a special magnetic field, and people living there can benefit endlessly.

From the perspective of Feng Shui, the topography of this place is exactly like the stars and the moon, and the turtles bring blessings, so it is an excellent treasure land.

The original intention was to protect future generations and benefit the world. The builders had good intentions. When it was first built, the Taoist temple was indeed very popular for a period of time.

But I didn't expect that it was too remote, and with the ever-changing times, the Taoist temple gradually declined as time went by. I can only say that it was all God's will.

Now when we come to the old Taoist priest, the Taoist temple has a history of nearly a hundred years.

Ye Qin looked around the outside of the Taoist temple and looked in all directions. He didn't miss the four directions, southeast, northwest, and he already had a clear understanding in his heart.

The structure and outline of the Taoist temple became more and more clear, as if the invisible film was slowly dissipating.

Second update, please vote for me, thank you!
