Although he was speechless, Taoist Tianji still took action and drove away the forest leopard.
God is merciful and loves all life. Those who practice Taoism follow the will of Heaven and although they do not abstain from killing, they will not kill indiscriminately either.
For Taoist Tianji, to solve Xu Luo's dilemma, there is no need to kill him, just drive him away. Why bother to commit the sin of killing?
Xu Luo had no objection to this. As long as Lin Bao couldn't threaten him, there would be no big problem.
Without Lin Bao blocking his way, he strolled up the mountain.
Taoist Tianji shook his head and prepared to return to Tianji Peak.
Boom...
Boom...
Boom...
The melodious bell rang, and the crisp sound came from afar. All the disciples from the various peaks near Xuansu Mountain heard this sound.
Taoist Tianji didn't care at first, but when the bell rang more than nine times, he looked happy, thinking that a Taoist seed with good talent had appeared on some peak.
The bell rang eighteen times, and Taoist Tianji's face was filled with joy.
The bell rang twenty-seven times, and Taoist Tianji frowned slightly.
After the bell rang thirty-six times, Taoist Tianji did not stop and directly controlled his own magic weapon and headed towards Xuansu Peak.
Xu Luo, who was climbing the mountain, also heard the bell. At first he didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that a talented disciple had appeared.
Whenever a cultivator appears, formally becomes a disciple, receives the ordination certificate, and transmits the Dharma, the Xuansu Bell will ring.
From one to eighteen tones, each one is different.
At that time, Xu Luo made eighteen sounds and attracted special attention.
So it's not surprising to hear the bells.
But when the bells exceed eighteen, the result is different.
Xu Luo didn't count specifically, but he knew that the bell must have rung more than twenty times, and it was no longer just to congratulate the talented disciple.
"Something happened!"
Although he didn't know what happened, Xu Luo knew that something must have happened since Xuan Su Zhong had given him an alert.
But these have nothing to do with him.
Xu Luo walked slowly up the winding mountain path.
Above their heads, streams of light flickered. In the quiet Xuansu Mountain, as the bell rang, people who usually went into seclusion began to come out one by one.
Xu Luo was a little worried about his master, Taoist Tiandu, as he was away from home and he didn't know how he was doing.
The reason why he did not stop Tiandu Taoist from going out was because the danger warning he received was directed at himself personally.
He had told Tiandu Taoist before, and the result was a very bad omen for him, but Tiandu Taoist was fine.
So Xu Luo understood that the danger was targeted. It might be fatal to a rookie like him, but not necessarily to others.
The peaks converged, and if the sky collapsed, there were tall people to hold it up, so Xu Luo didn't care too much.
There was no point in him caring, and there was no danger warning, at least not at the moment.
Walking briskly on the mountain path, feeling the fresh air, it was so much better than in my previous life.
Xu Luo is very satisfied with his current life.
Although there are no bright lights and wine and women of modern cities, as long as one can practice Taoism and achieve immortality, there is no need to care about so many other things.
[Continue to go up the mountain, level 2 danger/level 1 severe danger. There is a green bamboo snake living in the big tree ahead. If you are not careful and get bitten, your whole body will be stiff for three days and your life may be in danger.
Level 3 opportunity, the green bamboo snake guards the heart of a century-old tree, using the vitality of the tree heart to practice.
Looking at the towering tree in front of him and thinking about the prompt, Xu Luo's expression changed slightly.
This was the first time he saw two types of warnings, level 2 danger and level 1 severe danger.
He has figured it out clearly: level two danger means serious injury, level three means disability, level one means life-threatening, level two means a narrow escape from death, and level three means a ten-fold chance of survival, a situation where death is inevitable.
It seems understandable that facing a green bamboo snake would be life-threatening.
The venom of the green bamboo snake is not strong and will not be fatal, but it will make the body stiff for three days. In this mountain forest, there is naturally a possibility that other wild animals may appear, which may put the patient's life in danger.
And opportunity...this was really the first time Xu Luo had seen it.
Does danger come with opportunity?
However, unlike other dangers, this green bamboo snake hides in a tree hole. As long as you don't get close to it, it will hibernate and will not come out to attack people.
As for opportunity, although the hundred-year-old tree heart is quite valuable, Xu Luo would not kill a green bamboo snake or cut down a hundred-year-old tree just for a hundred-year-old tree heart.
Taoism emphasizes going with the flow.
Everything in nature operates according to its own laws.
Taoists practice inaction and rule, and will not deliberately change these things.
Nor will they wantonly cause destruction because of their greed.
In fact, Taoists follow their hearts, which does not mean that they will not do anything at all. It’s just that Xu Luo just doesn’t want to do it.
I think it is not easy for a tree to grow to a hundred years, and it should not be cut down just to get its core.
It’s not that I can’t, but that I don’t want to.
Taoism is smooth sailing, but Xu Luo doesn't want to do that at the moment, so he doesn't do it.
Perhaps one day he would change his mind and cut down the tree and take out its core.
But at least at this moment, he didn't want to do that.
He originally wanted to lean against a tree to rest, but since there was a green bamboo snake living in this big tree, Xu Luo decided not to provoke it and continued to climb the mountain.
With his walking speed, it wouldn't take him too long to reach the wooden house on the mountainside.
Let's just go up the mountain in one go.
There were no accidents this time.
When Xu Luo returned to the wooden house, the sky had begun to darken. He skillfully lit a fire and cooked, steamed a pot of rice, and ate it with the vegetables he grew, enjoying it with relish.
The uncontaminated food smelled so good that it whetted Xu Luo's appetite.
It was the stage of refining essence into qi, so Xu Luo had a huge appetite at this time.
Every time you recite Taoist scriptures, you attract spiritual energy from the outside world to cleanse yourself. Although it makes your body and mind clear, it also makes you more likely to feel hungry.
Therefore, Taoists at this stage have a particularly big appetite because they need to eat to replenish their body's nutrients and replenish their qi and blood.
In addition to eating, if conditions permit, people will also use medicinal foods as supplements.
After Xu Luo finished his meal, he took out the casserole and stewed some medicinal food for himself.
I have done these things countless times, so I am very skilled at them.
While slowly stewing the medicinal food, Xu Luo also took a Taoist scripture and read it slowly.
"The Supreme Star, constantly responding to changes, exorcising evil spirits, binding demons, protecting lives and bodies..."
In the crackling firelight, there was only the boy's soft recitation.
This is the Taoist mantra for purifying the mind.
At this time, Xu Luo was holding a collection of spells in his hand.
Method is the root and technique is the use.
Only by combining magic and techniques can you protect your life.
In addition to being chanted with musical scales, some mantras also require unique hand gestures and steps, each with its own unique requirements.
There was no effect if Xu Luo read it out so bluntly.
The Heart Purifying Mantra has the ability to calm the mind, protect oneself, and prevent external influences. It is one of the must-learn mantras.
Xu Luo is now familiarizing himself with the subject and preparing for his future studies.
