Fortune Teller

On the jade platform, Gu Xiuyun sat cross-legged, with the black-striped golden dolphin lying on his shoulder, yawning out of boredom.

"With your current strength, if you want to make a breakthrough in a short time, there are only two ways. One is to master a powerful Taoist secret technique, and the other is to obtain a suitable rules spiritual treasure."

Gu Xiuyun looked at the fifteen true artistic conception masters.

Both methods are difficult. Ordinary rule spiritual treasures are not very powerful and are not as powerful as the practitioner's own Taoist secrets.

The special spiritual treasure that gives birth to the weapon spirit is extremely powerful, but it is not easy to make it surrender.

Zhengon Temple is just an ancient temple, and no venerable person has been born in the past million years. It is far worse than the Zangxiang Temple.

Even if there are precious spiritual treasures, they have long been taken away by other temples under various names.

As for Taoist secrets, the top secrets of Zen will not be taught easily, let alone the Zhenyan Temple. Even if they are taught, Gu Xiuyun will not be able to give guidance.

"Don't say anything, don't argue. You two have a spar. You don't have to use your elemental power, you just need to show your Taoist methods." Gu Xiuyun glanced at the crowd and said.

"Yes, senior."

Monk Buyan and Monk Buzheng jumped up and started fighting in mid-air.

At the same time, Gu Xiuyun looked at the plain-clothed monk on the side, "Are you Shouxin, the disciple of Zhenyan Temple who has been imprisoned for thousands of years?"

"Junior guard your heart and have met your senior."

The plain-clothed monk bowed and said, "Senior opened the forum that day and preached. The sound of the sermon filled the air. However, I thought I was right and put up a secret barrier. I really overestimated my ability and made my senior laugh!"

After hearing this, all the powerful officials looked surprised.

They didn't expect that Gu Xiuyun's sermon could actually be heard by the monk guarding the heart, which was thousands of miles away and separated by the ancient pagoda formation.

The ancestor's methods are really unbelievable.

"The teaching of the Dharma is meant for people. If you can hear it, it means you are destined. There is no need to apologize or thank me."

Gu Xiuyun traced his fingertips, forming complicated patterns, "I have never heard that you are proficient in the rules of fire and wood. You can try to practice this technique. If you can get started within half a year, Pindao will continue to teach you. If you can't, I will continue to teach you." ...Just stay in the ancient pagoda!"

"yes."

Shouxin bowed and walked towards the ancient tower in the distance.

Shoujie and others all showed happy faces.

It seems that Patriarch Xianyun is still afraid of the laws of Zen Buddhism and only taught a secret technique without giving any guidance. If this can be used to get started, they will accept it.

"Shoujie, you and Shoukong go to another place to discuss and demonstrate the Taoism as much as possible." Gu Xiuyun continued.

"yes."

Observe the commandments, keep the air, and fly to the west.

…

In the ancient pagoda, the plain-clothed monk sat cross-legged, with no disappointment on his face, but a hint of doubt.

While Gu Xiuyun taught the secret technique, he also left a strange magic formula in his sea of ​​consciousness, and sent a voice message to remind him that he must not reveal the secret of the magic formula, not even talk to himself, otherwise there will be a disaster.

"What can be so special about a magic technique?"

The monk in plain clothes was puzzled and began to read Taoist secrets.

What Gu Xiuyun taught him was a special secret method that combined the two major rules of wood and fire, and combined the power of the rules with exquisite formations to exert extremely powerful power.

The more special the secret technique, the more powerful it is, but it is also extremely difficult to practice.

Eighth-grade powerful people almost always focus on understanding the true meaning of the rules, and rarely waste time practicing such secret techniques.

After all, the life of a practitioner is limited.

If you cannot understand the origin before the deadline, your life's hard work will be in vain.

"It's actually a top secret technique, and it's an eighth-level secret technique. It's impossible to learn it within half a year... five hundred years."

Monk Shouxin's heart sank. Even so, he did not give up directly, but patiently began to comprehend.

Thousands of years of hardship have honed his Taoist heart to be extremely tough.

As the saying goes, good and evil depend on each other. Being trapped in the ancient pagoda all year round also made the monk Shouxin less worldly and more determined to seek the truth.

In the sea of ​​​​consciousness, the formation restrictions formed by Taoist secrets are gradually peeled off, divided into hundreds of mysterious restrictions, which makes people's scalp numb.

Monk Shouxin closed his eyes tightly and meditated silently.

For some reason, whenever he encountered a problem, a light came into his mind, and in just a few days, he had completely read the secret technique.

"What's going on? Am I really suitable for this secret technique?" Monk Shouxin was extremely confused.

"At this rate, we really hope to get started within half a year."

…

"He is not a lustful great disciple, but he is also a tough-minded person. I just wonder if he still remembers his master?"

Gu Xiuyun looked at the monk in front of him, thoughts flashing in his mind.

With his mind and will, let alone fourteen true artistic conceptions, even if there were ten times more, he could still guide them at the same time.

Surpassing the mind and will of ordinary true masters is not a joke.

After a long time, two great masters, Wu Yan and Bu Zheng, were the first to land.

"Senior, please give me some advice." The monk said nothing expectantly.

"You two should be considered the ones with the highest cultivation level and Taoist realm in Zhenyan Temple. You have both reached the peak of the eighth level." Gu Xiuyun looked at the two of them, "Say no more, you are good at earthly rules and are not far away from understanding the origin. If If we can take that step, at least half of the decline of Jingon Temple can be restored."

"But with your current foundation in Taoism, if you want to take the last step, it can take as little as three thousand years, or as long as there is no hope of eternal life. Do you know why?"

"No hope of eternal life?!"

The silent monk took a deep breath and asked in a trembling voice, "Senior, please give me some advice."

"There is a saying in the secular world that rocks from other mountains can attack jade. In the final analysis, the rules of earth are only part of the five elements. As I said before, the five elements are one body and there is no clear boundary between them. Those so-called rules... In fact, it was decided by future generations themselves.”

"If you bind yourself to earth-moving Taoism, you are giving up the ladder of promotion. What is the prerequisite for understanding the origin? Perfect and round. The more you understand, the greater the hope of breakthrough."

"But... the remaining years of this junior are too short, and the Five Elements Taoism is profound and unpredictable. I really don't know how to practice it?" The silent monk looked embarrassed.

Having no direction is the biggest trouble for practitioners.

The more you understand Taoism, the less difficult it is to break through. This truth is not known to everyone, but few people dare to try it easily because life span... is too short!

In the limited years, it is not easy for a practitioner to comprehend a Taoism to the end. As for whether it can break through the realm barrier.

It all depends on luck.

If your life is good, you can become the ninth-grade ancestor. If your life is bad, you can be reincarnated!

"You first go to the front hall of Zhenyan Temple, read the Golden Silk Sword Rain Picture, and stare at the sixth thread on the left. Come and see me when you realize the rules." Gu Xiuyun said solemnly.

"Golden Sword Rain Picture!"

The monk Fuyan suddenly felt happy. Patriarch Xianyun said so clearly that he must have seen his flaws. The pinnacle of the Five Elements lineage is indeed extraordinary.

"Next, it's my turn."

The monk Bu Zheng was looking forward to it more and more.

The Taoist realm of Wuyan is above him. If Patriarch Xianyun can give guidance to Wuyan, he will definitely be able to give guidance to him as well.

"Don't argue, you have profound skills in the water element. Except for the last Zhiyin rule, you have understood all the other rules."

Gu Xiuyun continued, "Water behaves pure and feminine, and it changes in countless ways, but as the saying goes, the Yin pole produces Yang, and the Yang pole produces Yin, the Five Elements Taoism is a complete unity. The rules of Yin are like the sharp sword light, containing the changes in the movement of metal. , and the burning sensation of fire.”

As he spoke, Gu Xiuyun waved out a wisp of extremely cold air, which blended into the soles of his feet. In an instant, heartbreaking pain filled his entire body.

Monk Buzi couldn't tell whether the pain was burning or cold. Extreme cold and extreme heat caused the same instant pain.

"I'll teach you a secret technique and practice it together with the Blue Sea Waves. Come back to me in half a year."

Gu Xiuyun waved slightly, signaling him to leave.

"Thank you, Senior Xianyun."

The monk limped towards the front hall. The extremely cold air not only stung the soles of his feet all the time, but also sealed the inner heaven, earth and soul. At this moment, he was like a mortal, unable to even escape and walk.

Later, Shou Kong and Shou Jie also flew to the ground.

Looking at the two of them, Gu Xiuyun shook his head secretly.

Compared with Wu Yan and Wu Zheng, the foundation of Taoism between the two of them is obviously much worse. Perhaps it is because the Zhenyan Temple has been suppressed for the past eight thousand years, many secret treasures cannot be visited, and they cannot get the correct guidance. Many detours.

Of course, compared to external forces, Taoist heart is also very important.

Shou Kong and Shou Jie blame all their mistakes on the non-se Arhats and only know how to shirk responsibility. However, they have never thought about how many practitioners in the world cannot even enter ancient temples and can only practice in earth temples or even be a casual person. build.

Wasn't Gu Xiuyun worse off than the two of them back then?

The weak water sect and Li Kong sect taught only some incomplete techniques, and they wished to destroy all the talented disciples of Wuxiangtian.

And the two of them, after all, have Zen Buddhism on their backs, and can use the Taoist scriptures and spiritual treasures of Zhenyan Temple at will. However, the two of them only know how to look at Shu, thinking about the benefits of Zangxiang Temple and other ancient temples every day.

How can one achieve success with this kind of mind?

"Forget it, try to point out those who need to be pointed out. Whether they can wake up or not depends on themselves!" Gu Xiuyun shook his head slightly.

…

Half a day later, the fourteen true artistic conception masters left one after another, leaving only Gu Xiuyun and the Black Pattern Golden Dolphin on the jade platform.

"Every time I hear you talk about Taoist secrets, I feel very bored." The black pig curled his lips.

"That's because you're stupid."

Gu Xiuyun had a look of disgust on his face, "No one can ask for advice from me. How many times have I given you advice? How many words have you listened to?"

"I am the Qilin Divine Beast. What kind of Taoist techniques should I practice? When I raise my bloodline to the realm of the Venerable and rise above the heaven and earth, why do I still care about these small true artistic conceptions?" said the Black-patterned Golden Dolphin disdainfully.

"Even if you really become a Venerable, you will still be the weakest Venerable in history."

While the man and the beast were talking, the puzzled host stepped over from a distance.

"Fellow Taoist Xianyun, in fact, the old monk also has a lot of doubts in his heart. Can you give me some advice?" The puzzled host bowed and said.

Although his dharma title begins with the character "Bu", his practice years are much longer than those of Bu Yan, Bu Zheng and others.

In terms of age, he is at least two rounds older.

Coupled with the status of the presiding abbot and the ninth-grade patriarch, it was naturally difficult to ask in front of the juniors. It was not until everyone left that he finally appeared.

"Fellow Taoist, it's okay to talk. I'm the ninth grade, so we should discuss Tao with each other." Gu Xiuyun said with a smile.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist."

The confused host secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Discussing with each other... What is there to discuss between him and Gu Xiuyun? The gap between the realms of the two sides is a hundred and eighty thousand miles. Only those who are powerful in the Heavenly Star Realm can say this.

"The old monk has practiced hard for many years and has a deep understanding of the origin of water, but he has made no progress beyond that. He has never even practiced the secret skills of the ninth level, so that his strength has always stayed at the peak of the Tianshu realm." No. Host Jie felt a little ashamed on his face.

A ninth-grade Patriarch, but only at the peak of the Tianshu realm, it would be really embarrassing to tell him.

Even the most ordinary ancestors, most have already entered the Tianlun realm, and very few stay at the Tianshu realm.

If Master Wujie stays in this state all year round, it is either because there is something wrong with his Taoist mind or his cultivation direction is wrong.
