Qi Wuhuo asked doubtfully: "Original text?"

Yunqin nodded: "Well, if it is a method created by the uncles of each lineage, they will incorporate their own understanding and style. Others are not allowed to learn it. Only the original text, although difficult to understand, is the purest and simple method. Anyway, I will look for it. Tomorrow, after explaining it clearly to the teacher, I will contact you."

“Although it is difficult, Wuhuo, you are a great genius, so, there should be no problem!” Yun Qin smiled brilliantly. It seemed that the grandeur and romance of the young Taoist’s words “washing your feet in the stars” made her always feel that Qi Wuhuo was a genius, and a very interesting one at that.

The Taoist Xuanzong and the Three Pure Ones have no shortage of talented people.

But none of them is as interesting as the young man in front of me.

Qi Wuhuo didn't know how to answer, so he could only nod and say, "I'll give it a try."

Yunqin suddenly thought of something and reminded, "Oh, by the way, Wuhuo, finish eating the osmanthus cake first."

She explained: "There are many Xuantan spells like this, but they are not easy to learn. Give them to me after you have learned them."

"You can also try it and see if it tastes that good."

The girl pondered in her heart and felt that such a complicated spell would take Qi Wuhuo at least half a year to master, and three to five years would be better. However, she still did not tell him the time, thinking that it might undermine the boy's self-confidence and enthusiasm, so she did not mention it. Her thoughts jumped, and suddenly she remembered something and said with a smile:

"I heard that this is used by many Taoist disciples when they offer food to the Taoist ancestor."

"Ah, I'm not saying that we are in this relationship."

"It's just that I heard a lot of interesting things before."

"But Uncle Niu told me."

Yunqin shared the interesting things Uncle Niu said with her friends with great interest.

Because some Xuantan magic spells will not transmit things from the mortal world to the heaven.

Instead, it merely offered its breath, which rose along with the smoke in the clouds and flew into the heavens.

Therefore, if the younger generation of a certain sect wants to eat something delicious, they will offer it to the ancestor.

Until one day, the Grand Master could no longer bear it and appeared in a dream to his disciple, the Taoist temple master of that generation. He sighed for a long time and said three words:

【It is too sweet】.

It is said that on that day, the master of the Taoist temple was holding a broom and "hunting down" his own disciples all over the mountains and fields, shouting:

"The Grandmaster only has five teeth left, and you're still giving him sweets?!"

"Or the sticky [Mi San Dao]?"

"What do you think of the Grandmaster, you little brat?!"

The disciple ran around holding his head, shouting, "If the master doesn't want to eat it, just consider it as something I gave it to you!"

"Isn't it natural for grandpa to give snacks to children?"

The old Taoist priest beat the young Taoist priest, the young Taoist priest ran away, the young Taoist priest cried, and the young Taoist priest howled.

According to Uncle Niu, on that day, all the mountain monsters in the mountains grabbed pine nuts and hid to watch the fun.

The monks were forced to swear by their greedy disciples.

Also because of the bad karma of speech.

Then at night, the old man and the young boy would kneel down and burn incense in front of the portrait of the ancestor.

While the old Taoist priest was kneeling and burning incense, he gave his disciple a slap on the head.

The girl's story was vivid and Qi Wuhuo found it interesting. Monks and practitioners were not so aloof from the world, but they also had their own preferences and were flesh and blood. Even those who had practiced to the point where they could receive imperial edicts from heaven and ascend to heaven were like this.

But how did Uncle Niu know all these things?

Isn't this something from the underworld?

Qi Wuhuo was curious.

Because his magic power could no longer sustain, he chatted with the girl for a few more words and then stopped the [Circular Light Revealing Method]. The magic light dissipated, and the bronze mirror returned to its original, simple and ordinary appearance.

The young Taoist looked at the bronze mirror in front of him.

From what Uncle Niu and Yun Qin had just said, he could also guess that this mirror was very powerful.

If you just look with the naked eye, you can see that the mirror surface is covered with scratches, and most of the mirror body is covered with fine light green copper rust. If it is placed outside, it may not even be sold for three or five cents. But since it is a treasure, it should be cherished. One day, I should think of a way to return it to Yunqin and Uncle Yun.

Qi Wuhuo thought about it, then put the mirror away.

There wasn't much time for contact this time.

But he still felt as if his vital energy was exhausted and his soul was slightly tingling.

He warned himself that next time he would not use this magic so excessively, and after washing himself with reluctant water, he lay down on the bed. As soon as he closed his eyes, he felt as if he was falling, and fell into a deep sleep.

…

Yunqin's cultivation is much higher than Qi Wuhuo's.

There is nothing wrong with not sleeping for a day.

She had few friends of her age and was in a very happy mood. She went directly to Shangqing Library, which was one of the few places she could go. When she stepped in, she saw a white-haired old man sitting cross-legged on a cushion, with countless spiritual lights flowing and changing around him, as bright as the morning glow and as dense as the sea of ​​stars.

Yunqin slowed down her pace, approached, bowed respectfully, and said, "Disciple Yunqin, greetings to Senior Tianjun."

The old man looked ordinary, wearing only a linen Taoist robe, with white hair and an old face.

His strength may not be extraordinary, but his status is transcendent.

The title is Lingbao [Scripture Master] Qingyuan Dan Gang Qingyang Miaodao Tianjun, and he resides in the Qingyang Heavenly Palace.

Disciples of the Shangqing lineage, even if they have reached the realm of "immortals", must bow respectfully and address this person as "senior". The old man in hemp clothes put down the scroll in his hand, raised his eyes to look at the girl, and asked with a smile:

"It turns out to be Danhua Fuying's little disciple."

"Why are you here in my Shangqing Book Pavilion when you are not practicing in Niu Su and learning your Star God's Dharma?"

"Could it be that you have already learned everything your teacher taught you?"

"Come here to find some alchemy scriptures, iron scrolls, jade books and talismans, and then go back to study them more?"

Yunqin's face turned pale, and she said, "Disciple just wants to borrow some information about Xuantan Dharma."

The old man casually said: "If it's your teacher's lineage..."

The girl added: "I want to see the original text."

"Oh? The original text?"

Qingyang Miaodao Tianjun glanced at Yunqin with a smile, and lightly tapped his finger in the air. Countless streams of light gathered and transformed into towering bookshelves, on which were placed scrolls carved from jade. He said, "It's all there, let's go and have a look..."

After paying her respects, Yunqin went to look and found the relevant method.

I found it on the fifth row, third column of the bookshelf. After thinking for a while, I asked, "Lord Tian, ​​why doesn't the original text prohibit disciples from watching?"

The old man smiled gently and asked, "Why is it forbidden?"

"Others just watch it."

"Since your lineage is taught by Shangqing Yuchen Daojun and Lingbao Datianzun, you should know that Daojun's style is to be spontaneous and inaction. The [Original Classics] were all created by him, but he said that the Original Classics only wrote down the existing rules of heaven and earth. Since these are the existing rules of heaven and earth, all things can naturally practice and understand them."

"Besides, do you know what the Three Pure Ones are?"

Yunqin thought for a moment and replied, "They are all Dao ancestors."

Qingyang Miaodao Tianjun shook his head and said gently: "What a childish answer. It seems that Danhua Fuying Yuanjun has not told you yet."

"The Three Pure Ones all attained enlightenment first, and through observing the Tao, they became the highest."

“They are all Dao ancestors.”

"As for the other two, I can't and shouldn't say anything. I have my own rules."

"And I am the Taoist Lord of Shangqing Yuchen, the Great Celestial Lord of Lingbao... Why am I called the Taoist Ancestor? Does Yunqin know about the Taoist Cloud Seal?"

The girl nodded in response, and recited according to her teacher's instructions:

"Cloud seals and thunder patterns, dragon and phoenix scripts, ancient inscriptions on gold and stone, these are words that inherently carry the mysterious rhyme of Taoism."

"Even if you simply recite it, it will stir up the vitality of heaven and earth. Taoist scriptures and talismans are all recorded in these characters. Among them, the cloud seal comes from the flow of auspicious clouds in the sky, the thunder pattern records the traces of thunder running, the dragon seal and phoenix script comes from the innate attributes such as dragon and phoenix, and the ancient inscriptions on gold and stone are created by Taoist disciples themselves."

“There are many kinds of them.”

Qingyang Miaodao Tianjun nodded.

Yunqin breathed a sigh of relief.

The old Lord teased, "You know it well by heart."

The girl blushed slightly.

The old man stroked his beard and said, "But you are not wrong. These characters are originally secret. But, do you know that the oldest and most powerful characters are also?"

Yunqin was puzzled, and the old man said casually: "Just recite the Qingbao Edict."

The girl had no choice but to answer, "He lives in Shangqing Realm, and is called Lingbao Jun. He was born from the ancestral calamity, and has more than 99,000 Brahma Qi. The red book is radiant, and has 668 true characters. Because of the [chaos red text], the [Nine Skies] were opened. The era of the Dongyu calendar is divided into five calamities. He is the celestial meridian and the latitude of the earth, and is the ancestor of creation. He is the pivot of yin and yang, the ancestor of outstanding thunder, with great compassion and great wishes, great saint and great mercy. Yuchen Daojun, Lingbao Tianzun."

Slowly, Yunqin seemed to understand.

The old man stroked his beard and said calmly: "The first 668 pieces of [Tai Chi Ling Wen] were created by Dao Jun."

"Before all paths, possessing the spirit of chaos."

"Words themselves are magical powers that can connect heaven and earth and command ghosts and gods."

“Because its power was too high and complicated, it was simplified and opened up into [Nine Heavens Jade Words].”

"With the Jade Book in your mouth, a single word can become the law of heaven and earth."

"After this, it is the era of the most ancient cloud seals that you know of."

"The Dao Lord used these two kinds of spiritual writing to record the Dao Canon and Dharma, and spread them throughout the world. Only in this way can the Dao rhyme be passed on, and the text can carry the divine power. Otherwise, ordinary words and characters cannot express the Dao, nor can they carry the Dao, and then the Dao and the divine power cannot be spread."

"This is how the various Daos flourished later on, and because of this achievement, he was called the ancestor of Dao."

He pointed at the jade book in the girl's hand and said with a gentle smile: "Even this [Original Text] of yours cannot actually be called the [Original Text]."

“It’s an abridged version.”

"The real [original text] is also written in [Tai Chi Ling Wen]."

"After all, this [original text] was spoken by the Great Celestial Venerable himself based on his observations of the laws of heaven and earth."

Yunqin was stunned and looked at the jade book in her hand.

Qingyang Miaodao Tianjun stroked his beard, feeling that this young disciple understood the meaning and profoundness of the [original text].

The girl said subconsciously:

"Can you teach [Tai Chi Ling Wen] to others?"
