Chapter 81: The Autumn Punishment
In Yangqiu County, a wide river crosses through it, called the "Qinghe" tributary of the Changhe River. This water system is spread throughout Jinan County, feeding the people and rich water and soil.
In this matter, a Taoist stood by the river, wearing a mysterious suit, a bronze ink ribbon tied with a waist, and a large sleeve with cloud feather patterns, and was graceful with the wind. He stared at the envelope he held and said to the river, "Is this trustworthy?"
A low voice came from the turbulent water flowing and responded: "We have no choice. Under the constraints of the blood oath, as long as the spiritual secret code is matched, it must be activated, and only the name and password are recognized."
"But..." Taoist Xuan Yu asked in confusion: "This is from Laoshan to the west, not overseas in the east."
"It's okay." The voice from the bottom of the river rumbled: "We can test the other party's identity. Anyway, the treasure he asked for happened to be roughly consistent with our goals. If we can get such a thing, we might as well guess who it is."
The Taoist frowned and said, "I think it's better to contact overseas. As an aquarium, why not contact relatives to inquire? If a group of outsiders do things in vain, it will become a great injustice."
The aquarium at the bottom of the river disagreed: "My lineage has been reborn inland for several generations, and I have long cut off relations with overseas countries. Besides, who is it, is this important?"
Facing the questioning, the Taoist was slightly stunned.
The voice at the bottom of the river sighed with a faint sigh: "We are just a chess piece after all. The name of [Xuanzhen] has inherited the five generations and has been persisted for thousands of years. Now there is hope to obtain the things under this land, so there is no need to care about so many things."
"The treasure the other party asked for is just a supplement to our target, so why not give it to him?" It became more and more excited:
"When we complete our mission, we can untie the constraints and return directly to overseas. At that time, the sea will be vast and the sky will be wide, and the dragon will swim in the sea. In the case of great achievements, we will have a bright future. Do we still need to wasting our lives in this way and let our descendants continue to bear this heavy mission?"
The Taoist by the river was silent and slowly spoke: "This statement makes sense. I will send a message to him to exchange that thing. It was arranged by the Taoist in Laoshan back then. If he could succeed, this person's identity would be quite good."
The underwater voice chuckled: "Maybe the overseas Dragon Palace is placed in the Dahan, a dark man with a higher status. Only peers know our name. If he needs help, then he will benefit each other."
……………………
In Laoshan, Huangting’s inner scenery sutra was just obtained, and Wu Ming couldn’t wait to enter the cave and retreat as soon as he came back. He studied for a while and found that this sutra contained the ultimate principles of chaotic transformation of yin and yang. He had made great progress in understanding several of his Yin and Yang Taoism techniques through similarities.
In particular, the technique of relieving the prosperity and breathing is progressing rapidly. After being touched and refined by the Ziwu Technique, the innate source energy can be broken through the barrier of life and death. With the reference of Yin and Yang Technique, it is almost complete.
"It's too profound, and it's difficult to actually understand the wonders of the changes of yin and yang." Wu Ming frowned. Night tours and day tours involved the way of yin and yang. Before this, the research was a tower in the sky.
He decided to first refine the Taiyin Youying soul refining technique and break through to the Taoist priest of Yeyou.
Wu Ming took out a jade lord and placed it in front of him. It was filled with moon-white crystal water dew. Pure yin energy was filled with it, and a trace of white energy rose up and condensed into a column of smoke, entering the mouth and nose as he breathed.
Then the Taoist began to visualize Taiyin. Fortunately, Laoshan was far-sighted. At the level of Taoist disciples, the two must-have magic tricks are Taiyin and the Sun. These are the predecessors of the two fundamental methods, which can make the Taoist priests' subsequent paths smoother.
With inheritance of the foundation, Wu Ming has experienced yin and yang many times and soon got started. Lingtai Qingming, a bright moon hangs, and the misty moonlight falls like goose feathers and heavy snow.
Just in the evening, the outside world's yin was born, and the yin energy became stronger. The inside and outside were combined. The sea of consciousness was white. The Yin God seemed to be in the moon palace, washed by a massive misty moon. The "sniff" sounded, and white smoke came out all over his body, magic power evaporated, and soul body forged.
But the effect is very good. Wu Ming felt that his Yin God was becoming more and more condensed, as if he wanted to go from illusion to substance, and his magic power quality was improved a little. At this time, a layer of frost and snow floated on the ground in the cave, surrounded by the yin and cold aura.
In addition to a pure white talisman seed, an illusory moon-white talisman appeared on the edge of the young man.
The night passed and the sky was slightly white.
Wu Ming had just finished his work. The Taiyin method could only be practiced at night. He used it to study magic during the day. He had never had time to practice it after the technique of replenishing breath. The Taoist priest picked up a replenishing leaf, shining with bright light, tender green and replenishing yellow, sometimes full of vitality, sometimes dry and cracked and silent.
He put it in his mouth without hesitation, practiced the technique of maintaining the withering and flourishing technique, and a yellow light flowed on his body, and the friendly aura of nature filled the cave, and the frost in the cave faded.
Time comes day by day, and in the blink of an eye, ten days are coming.
Wu Ming came out of seclusion, and the Taiyin Technique and the Technique were both slightly successful. He did not continue to practice, but because he encountered a bottleneck, but because he had exhausted his resources and had to stop seclusion.
His Taoist practice is still manifested for ten years. Before he condenses the seeds of Taiyin talismans and is promoted to a night trip, it is difficult to accumulate magic power.
"Taiyin Spirit..." Wu Ming said, suddenly remembering a friend's thing and said to himself: "Well, it's time to go to Yangqiu County to solve that problem."
The young Taoist priest thought about it and decided to prepare. He first wrote a letter to the teacher, asking for a position to deal with the immortal official, and then rode the wind to the Taoist cemetery near the mountain to choose a task outing.
Anyway, it's the second half of the year, and I have to execute another mission, so I'd just solve it together. In addition, he has obtained the Taoist priest's martial arts, complete magic weapons and comprehensive Taoist techniques. The desire to travel around the world is hard to suppress.
Wu Ming was picky and did not find a suitable task after watching it for most of the day. Just when he was about to give up, the list was refreshed and many events emerged.
He stared at a long-term mission and was overjoyed. God helped me!
Wu Ming immediately communicated with the counter servants, and the Demon-killing Token was swept, and the end of the work was completed. Suddenly, the young man had a sudden idea and asked, "I am about to leave the sect for a while. Can I give the offerings to the next few months in advance?"
Hearing this, the servant was speechless. You are such a clever man. He smiled openly and said respectfully: "I'm sorry, the sect's regulations cannot be used."
Wu Ming just asked casually, but was not disappointed, and turned back to Huanzhen Peak.
Three days later, a wisp of cloud fell from the sky and turned into a white mist brush, depicting lines of handwriting in the air, which was a message from the teacher.
"I already know this. It's too much that the immortal officials in Yangqiu County attacked the scholarly family and assassinated young talents. You want to deal with the immortal officials as an official... Recently, it's the court's plan, and there are many opportunities to question the punishment in autumn."
"You go to Laoshan to receive a mission of protecting the Tao angel, and I will run you another thousand stone [Gui Shidao Assistant]..."
After reading the letter, Wu Ming couldn't help but be happy. The so-called angel protecting is the envoy from the local Taoist sect and the central government. Because it was a special mission of the emperor and a messenger, it was called an angel.
This move can gain the trust of the local Taoist vein, which is also a test. He was responsible for this task in the Taoist cemetery. In fact, the Dragon Court wizards will also bring the angels. These are truly trustworthy. Local Taoists applying for jobs have a lot of free time.
As for the previous plan, the autumn punishment was the most important event in the Han Dynasty throughout the year. The "super plan" was compared to the Blue Star, which was the Two Sessions, and audited the political achievements of Neizhou County for one year. The autumn punishment was a feudal dynasty who prefer to kill people in autumn, and believed that it was a move that responded to the times.
To say so much, it is actually a central government crackdown and supervision activity against local governments every year. It happened around October. Calculate the time. Wu Ming entered Laoshan in the fourth year of Xingwu in the first year of Xingwu, and now it is just the end of Xingwu in the fifth year.
"The governor's servant, the governor's servant, the teacher is so generous." Wu Ming Xiaoying wrote a letter of thanks for his recitation. The governor's rank was two thousand stones and inspected the county. As the name suggests, the attendant was a follower, but it would be different if he added a governor.
The court inspected the local area and divided it into various fields. Among them, the governance was to specialize in supernatural aspects. The overall meaning was that he was responsible for extraordinary details under the governor.
Wu Ming received the promise and no longer hesitated. He asked to possess the possession and prepare to set off.
