Chapter 358 Purple Cloud Palace, Thunder Fire Palace
"Junior knows, thank you senior for your help."
Li Yan was already prepared, so he was naturally surprised.
"You already know?"
Wang Jingxiu was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood, shook his head and said, "It seems that senior brother Yu Longzi has told you about this."
"This is the headmaster's decision. There is no chance at all."
"In fact, in my opinion, it doesn't matter whether to build a temple in Mount Wudang. Shinto and Human Path are inseparable. As long as one is protected, how can the people interrupt their incense?"
"It's better to build a net and retreat in search of fish."
Li Yan said solemnly, "Thank you, senior. I will handle it properly. The agreement with senior will not be changed. Whatever medicine your senior wants, we will try our best to find it."
He could tell that Old Taoist was really not good at intrigues.
Although Yu Longzi said a lot of things, some of them are very important, but they are not without purpose, and they all have deep meanings behind them.
Li Yan felt grateful, but also guarded.
Wang Jingxiu, on the other hand, didn't put so much thought into it, and really ran errands to help them. It looked like the work didn't get done, and he felt a little guilty.
Sure enough, when Li Yan said this, Wang Jingxiu quickly shook his head, "If the matter is not done, how can Old Taoist take advantage of the younger generation and call you in vain?"
"Old Taoist The spirit medicine I want grow in remote mountains and uninhabited land. They are basically Heavenly Spiritual Treasure. I will write a brochure later. As long as it is the above precious medicine, I will buy it for a long time. The price will definitely satisfy you."
"Don't feel bad about it. Old Taoist After I refined the elixir, many rich and wealthy people bought it. They are not short of money."
Li Yan After hearing this, he was not polite and said, "Just follow the words of the seniors."
This is also a good thing for them. It is equivalent to a long-term mission. From now on, they can easily collect the treasures they find when traveling around the country.
"Okay."
Wang Jingxiu was obviously in a good mood after hearing this. He smiled and said, "Let's go. Pindao has something to do and will go to Yunyang. I'll help you settle down and then leave."
After that, he took a few people to the Purple Cloud Palace.
As he walked, he introduced, "This Purple Cloud Palace was first built in the Xuanhe period of the Northern Song Dynasty. It was expanded again and again to reach this scale. The main hall is Attendant Jade Emperor."
"Although the area is not as large as Five Dragons Palace, the various magical instruments and talismans on Mount Wudang are basically here. Attendant and Old Taoist have already explained it. You can buy it at will..."
"'Purple Cloud Divine Lamp' means that Attendant is inside the Purple Cloud Golden Hall. It stays on all year round. Every midnight, you can enter it and gain enlightenment."
"Taihe Palace on the top of the mountain is our center in Wudang. If you want to go to 'Thunder Fire Refining Hall', you must apply in advance. You will only be allowed to enter when there is a thunderstorm. Do not approach it on weekdays."
"Remember, after boarding Taihe Palace, you are not allowed to go anywhere else except 'Thunder Fire Refining Hall' to avoid getting into trouble..."
"Old Taoist I ask my junior brother to observe the sky. In seven or eight days, there will be a severe thunderstorm. During this period, I will stay at the Purple Cloud Palace..."
This Old Taoist was indeed a kind person. After some explanations, he took them to see Purple Cloud Palace, the host Yu Lingzi, and asked him to take care of them. Then he hurriedly left down the mountain.
Here, the situation is completely different from that of the Five Dragons Palace.
Although the various Preceptss in the Purple Cloud Palace are strict, but with the relationship of Wang Jingxiu, the Daoist priests in the palace have a very good attitude towards them.
There is another point, which is very different from the Five Dragons Palace.
Five Dragons Palace Daoists mainly practice martial arts, while Purple Cloud Palace inner Daoists are better at various altars, refining magic tools, and medicine, which is equivalent to Mount Wudang's logistics.
Li Yan and others took a stroll in the palace after dinner.
In the palace, there are Dragon Tiger Hall, Attendant and Wang Lingguan, the guardian gods of Daoism, as well as the Green Dragon and White Tiger, mainly the Soldiers and Horses Mandala, which is also used to ward off disasters and pray for blessings on weekdays.
The Daoist priests there have a good attitude. As long as they don't disturb others' morning and evening classes, they are very kind and talkative. Wang Dao Xuan asked some questions about setting up a Dharma altar, and they were all answered one by one...
The Attendant magic weapon is in the Lotus Leaf Hall. The main Attendant ones are King of Pure Joy Great Emperor of Bright Truth and Empress of Good Victory Supreme Immortal of Jade Truth.
There is a theory in this. It is rumored that Great Emperor Zhenwu is the 82nd transformed body of Lord Lao. Kingdom of Pure Joy was born in the Desireless Heavenly Palace in the Great Luo Realm and is the son of the king.
Kingdom of Pure Joy Queen Shan Sheng dreamed that she swallowed the sun and became pregnant. After fourteen months of pregnancy, she gave birth to a prince, who would be Great Emperor Zhenwu in the future.
Of course, there are also Attendant, Three Heavens Goddesses, Child-Giving Goddess, etc.
Li Yan checked it out and found that there was nothing he wanted. After all, every one of his magical weapons was extraordinary.
Mainly Wang Dao Xuan, with some talisman paper, red rope, incense, Lotus Lamp and other items added, mainly used to decorate the altar.
Before I knew it, it was already late at night.
At this time, the bright moon was hanging high in the sky. In the magnificent Zixiao Hall, the door was wide open. You could see the candlelight dots inside, and many Daoists were waiting.
This time, mainly Li Yan, Wang Dao Xuan and Lu San entered, while Sha LiFei and Wu Ba sat outside the hall waiting.
As the night got darker, the bell rang. Immediately a Daoist priest went out and said loudly, "The time has come. You can enter the temple to practice. There is no noise or fighting in the temple. Each one should stay in one place and do not interfere with each other..."
After explaining a bunch of rules, he stepped aside and stepped aside.
This time, in addition to Li Yan, there are eight Daoists who entered the practice. They are not from the Purple Cloud Palace, but from other Daoist temples on Mount Wudang.
Everyone was silent and filed in.
When you enter the main hall, you will see towering golden pillars and dougongs, with caissons covering the roof on all sides, and below are all stone shrines.
In the center Jade Emperor, the statues of the left and right side attendants are all lifelike. In the dim candlelight, they seem to be looking down at all living beings.
Li Yan took one look at it, then lowered his head and offered incense respectfully.
Today, he has mastered the rules.
Ordinary small gods in small temples will often take the initiative to show up, issue tasks, or ask for help when they see him entering with an ultimatum.
A secular god like Lord Guan basically doesn't bother to pay attention to him, so he just pays respect to him and offers incense.
Gods like Tathagata, Jade Emperor, and Great Emperor Zhenwu often form incense and fire gods in temples. They are not clones. They can be seen using the method of communicating with gods, but it is best not to cause trouble.
Zixiao Hall is tall and huge. After everyone respectfully offered incense, they were assigned to various places. They were several meters apart and divided by corridors.
This is the power of the mysterious realm.
When they are practicing, even if Foundation Establishment builds a building, the spreading power will be suppressed and will not affect others.
Wang Dao Xuan and Lu San, as well as some Daoist priests from other temples, took the time to decorate and prepare to build the building later.
The difference from the previous two times is that Wang Dao Xuan placed the altar of Lotus Lamp and placed a strange white stone in the middle. The center was dark and seemed to have an eye.
When the monks built Third Floor, they often needed the cooperation of Heavenly Spiritual Treasure. When Wang Dao Xuan was in Wuchang, he asked Li Yan to buy it.
This is called "Earth Mother Eye", which is a special kind of mica stone. It is not particularly precious, but it has long been proven that it is the safest when building buildings.
As for Li Yan, it is just pure practice.
Clang clang clang!
Several more bells rang, and with the rumbling sound, the door of Zixiao Palace slowly closed, and the palace became quiet.
Poof!
Jade Emperor In front of the altar table, a simple oil lamp suddenly burst into flames, gradually becoming brighter and emitting purple light.
Li Yan looked at it and his eyes widened immediately.
In this Purple Cloud Golden Hall, Divine Ability was also suppressed and could not be explored, but he could feel that the light of the purple oil lamp had a mysterious power, like the vast bright moon, suppressing other candlelights.
Gradually, the surroundings became dark.
The light of those candlelights all disappeared, and everyone could only see the light of the purple oil lamp.
Li Yan frowned slightly, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
He has roughly seen the principle.
This "Purple Cloud Divine Lamp", to some extent, is similar to his North Emperor Yin Mountain Method, both of which create a unique environment to help people practice cultivation.
Sure enough, when he entered the Shen Shen space and entered the Shen Shen space, purple light was everywhere between heaven and earth, forcing the Shen Shen space to change.
This feeling is only slightly better than North Emperor Yin Mountain Method.
Although he was a little disappointed, Li Yan was still in deep concentration, and through Purple Cloud Divine Lamp, he reviewed the methods he had learned in the past.
He knew that this Purple Cloud Palace was not his chance.
If you want to have a breakthrough, I'm afraid you have to be within "Thunder Fire Refining Hall".
As for Lu San on the side, he is not much better. He has inherited the ancient ways of witchcraft. Although he is not incompatible with this place, the effect is no different from ordinary spiritual orifices.
Fortunately, he had already prepared in his heart. According to the <Classic of Mountains and Seas Spiritual Responses> method, he beat Nuo Dance. In the divine space, two tall mountain peaks appeared with green peaks.
Different from the Dharma of Li Yan and others, the Dharma of Lu San is not a series of pavilions, but an altar on each mountain and river.
The statue of Attendant in the altar has a human head and an animal body, which is very similar to his face, just like the ancient mountain god in "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
Lu San rebuilt <Classic of Mountains and Seas Spiritual Responses> and now built two hills, which are equivalent to Xuanmen Second Floor. It was completed easily...
Unlike them, Wang Dao Xuan has a deep understanding.
What he practices is the "Xixuandong Mingzhen Sutra", which is honest and orderly, and gradually forms Third Floor in the God-Existing Space.
The purple light transformed by "Purple Cloud Divine Lamp" was like moonlight falling from the sky. The three gods of Wang Dao Xuan all looked up and watched.
At the same time, "Earth Mother Eye" in the altar also emitted various mysterious auras, blended with the purple light, and fell into the eyes of the God.
Not long after, the eyes of the three gods were all dyed purple.
At this moment, Wang Dao Xuan's eyes were swollen and painful, and various colorful lights were flashing in his eyes.
He finally got his chance...
Rumble!
Accompanied by a roar, the door of the hall was slowly opened.
Li Yan woke up from trance and looked inside the main hall. "Purple Cloud Divine Lamp" had returned to normal and was mixed in among the many oil lamps. No difference could be seen.
"The time is up, please leave..."
As the temple guard shouted, everyone lined up to leave.
As soon as they walked out of the main hall, Sha LiFei came up anxiously, "How is it, how is it, is there any harvest?"
Li Yan shook his head slightly, "It will probably take Thunder Fire Refining Hall."
Lu San said in a muffled voice, "Second Floor is stable, the Daoist Secret Realm is no different to me. I will find another place next time."
Wang Dao Xuan rubbed his eyes, tears could not help but flow, and said with a wry smile, "I am afraid that I have awakened Eye Mystical Power, I can see some strange aura, and it is not stable yet."
"Congratulations, Daoist Priest!"
Everyone quickly congratulated him.
When the monks build Third Floor, they have the opportunity to awaken the second Divine Ability, but not everyone has this opportunity.
Wang Dao Xuan had a miserable life in the past because he was alone, and Divine Ability was not suitable, so many methods could not be used. After teaming up with Li Yan, the situation gradually improved.
Now that Eye Mystical Power has been awakened, even if it is just the most basic Qi Observation, it is an earth-shaking change for him.
This practice can be said to be a great joy for everyone.
Everyone was not in a hurry to go up the mountain, so they stayed in the Purple Cloud Palace and waited for the heavy rain and thunderstorm to come.
After a few days, Wang Dao Xuan Divine Ability was finally stable, and the result surprised everyone. After he awakened Eye Mystical Power, he could not only check Gangsha Two Qi, but also the flow of earth energy.
With the cooperation of Eye Mystical Power and Wang Dao Xuan Feng Shui, you will naturally reach a higher level.
In his spare time, Li Yan also got to know Daoist Purple Cloud Palace and got some information from the mountain, but it was not very good.
Over in Xiangyang, the epidemic began to get out of control and had spread from Fancheng to surrounding areas. Many people wanted to flee, but the imperial court had sent troops to block the roads to prevent the epidemic from spreading.
Now, not only True Martial Palace, but also Baotong Chan Temple has sent people to investigate, and Royal Palace of Wu Prefecture also asked a famous doctor to deal with the matter...
In the mountains and forests of Jingchu, the imperial army was suddenly blocked.
Many mountain spirits and monsters were controlled by people, and many evil cultivators Demonic Body Longevity Method appeared, causing heavy casualties to the imperial army.
Not only do these guys know weird and mysterious skills, but they also carry New Style Firearm, which specializes in killing imperial officers, and then releases poisonous poisons, summoning poisonous mosquitoes and poisonous bees to ambush them. They are simply elusive.
Yunyang City God Temple sent Yin soldiers to search, but these demons only attacked during the day and hid at night. The Yin soldiers were helpless...
As for Zigui County, it is temporarily stable.
The new cannons of the imperial navy are extremely powerful and they have an absolute advantage. Even with a small number of people, the Tusi City army cannot move forward...
After learning the news, Li Yan felt very solemn.
According to his original plan, the imperial court gathered 200,000 troops, and with the cooperation of the navy, the rebellion could be put down quickly.
But judging from the situation, it may take some time.
The road to Fengdu in Sichuan will definitely not be peaceful...
Rumble!
Five days later, thunderclouds arrived as promised.
Just after noon, the sky became gloomy, with dark thunderclouds covering the sky, as if the whole sky was about to collapse.
Thunder roared, and lightning flashed from time to time.
Because they had to go to the top of the mountain, Wudang Center, and were bombarded by thunder, Lu San and Sha LiFei stayed behind to accompany the trembling Little Demons and Wu Ba.
Li Yan and Wang Dao Xuan, led by Daoists, went to the top of the mountain.
Half an hour later, they had reached the top of the mountain.
As Wang Jingxiu said, although they are allowed to enter "Thunder Fire Refining Hall", they are prohibited from approaching other places.
Walk along the trail corridor, and there will be sword-wielding Daoists guarding you along the way.
Rumble!
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning tore through the sky and fell.
Li Yan felt a constant roar in his ears. He looked up and saw that on the top of the tallest palace in the distance, the thunder and fire turned into fireballs, crackling and rolling back and forth on the top of the palace, like a living thing...
