Chapter 19 Controlling Qi?

019 Controlling Qi?

At night, Ping An watches the backyard.

Sitting upright on the bed, Xiang Jiannan's upper body was exposed.

I just finished reading the scriptures, and now I feel hot all over. My body, which has little muscles, is covered with sweat, and there is a wisp of white steam coming out of my head.

I almost lost myself in this book.

When the sweat stopped flowing as frequently as before, Xiang Jiannan finally got up from the bed, ran to the water tank at the door and drank a ladle of cold water, then leaned against the door frame for a while in fear.

Luckily, I didn't try to be stubborn today. I stopped immediately when I realized something was wrong. I just read a few more pages than usual. I never expected to have such a big reaction, that temperature almost burned me to death.

Take a bath while it's still night.

Xiang Jiannan slipped to the door of Gao Yuan's room with a sweaty body and saw that the light inside was still on.

The master has been in a bad mood since he came back from Chen's house. He simply ate a few bowls of meat for dinner. He was so depressed that he didn't even take a shower. He put down his dishes and went into the house. Now he heard silence in the house, maybe he had fallen asleep.

I hope it doesn't disturb him.

Lying in front of Gao Yu'an's door and hearing no sound, Xiang Jiannan couldn't help but feel a little bolder.

They always bathe in the yard as master and disciple. Logically, the master was in a bad mood today and he should not have disturbed him. However, he was covered in sticky sweat and would not be able to sleep tonight if he did not wash. He also did not have the ability to move the tools into the house, so he had to tiptoe and prepare to wash casually.

The master's depression was related to Lin Zhen, or to be more specific, it was because of the reward money.

County Magistrate Lin was carried out of the Chen family's home. Not long after Qiao Yun disappeared, he rushed into the backyard with Master Guo. When he pushed the door open, he saw only Master Gao Yuan and his apprentice, both of whom had doubts in their eyes.

According to his judgment, something happened to Qiao Yun. The two Taoists were staring at the ground at this moment, and their expressions were wrong when they saw him come in.

"Master, where is Qiao Yun?"

Walking quickly towards Xiang Jiannan and Gao Yuan, Lin Zhen's eyes couldn't help but look at the ground along with them. It would have been better if he hadn't looked. As soon as he figured out what it was, his legs went weak and he fell on Master Guo.

Human skin! Looks so familiar.

"Demon, what did you do to Miss Qiao Yun?"

His legs were shaking as he supported Lin Zhen. Master Guo was really afraid that Xiang Jiannan and his apprentice would do something stupid. While he was loudly scolding the two of them, he also dragged the county magistrate back a few steps.

This is the Chen Mansion, but none of the Chen family members are here now. If the two demons suddenly attack, he and the county magistrate will definitely have to die here today. Poor Miss Qiao Yun, she turned into a piece of skin after just a while.

"Master Guo misunderstood."

Seeing Lin Zhen stretching his legs and almost foaming at the mouth, Xiang Jiannan didn't know how he and his master became demons. Realizing that he was misunderstood, he immediately explained what happened to the two officials. It would have been better if he hadn't explained. Once he explained, Lin Zhen fainted even faster.

Without even having a meal, Master Guo had someone carry him onto a carriage.

While I still had breath, I quickly left this sad place. The look I gave Gao Yuan and Xiang Jiannan when I was leaving was filled with disappointment.

The master will definitely scold me when he gets back, saying that I came up with such a bad idea that I even got myself killed.

Everyone felt bad after that. After barely getting a lunch at Chen's house, Xiang Jiannan didn't expect that his master could still eat. Things went wrong. Except for the master, everyone at the table felt like chewing wax.

Then Pei Dafa followed the two of them to Ping'an Temple, discussed with the master along the way, and finally succeeded in taking half of the reward money from him.

He said that he was using the money to honor Lin Zhen. After such a big incident, how could he not spend some money to express his condolences?

In just one sentence, the master was so shocked that he couldn't recover for the whole night.

This water is really cold.

Xiang Jiannan took the scoop and poured water over himself a few times, testing the water temperature out of habit.

This habit was developed in the previous world, and it has not changed after crossing over.

The water in Ping An Temple would sometimes be very cold. Sometimes when Xiang Jiannan watched his master taking a bath, he would feel very cold himself.

He just took off his clothes and poured water on me. I never saw him blink. I thought back to when I was just like him, I couldn't even feel my gums getting frozen after drinking a bucket of water.

He quickly took off his lower body clothes and Xiang Jiannan tried to keep the sound of watering the water as low as possible. The cold water felt very comfortable on his body, and after a few scoops of water, the heat in his heart disappeared.

Are the scriptures in the Taoist temple poisonous? Why does my body feel like it's being roasted by fire every time I read them?

As Xiang Jiannan carefully wiped his body with the cloth, he found it more and more strange. This strange thing had been bothering him for several days, but he still had no clue.

He felt that he had a masochistic tendency. He could not help but do it even though he knew the result would be like that. He asked his master why. The old Taoist just said a lot of vague words and he did not quite understand what he said. Anyway, it seemed that he was saying that his realm was not high enough.

Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)

Not at a high enough level? Would people with low levels of spiritual attainment have this kind of experience when reading scriptures? If this were true, no one in the Zhou Dynasty would dare to become a Taoist priest.

Xiang Jiannan did not agree with his master's inference and had his own opinion.

He thought the matter was related to the gossip. Anyway, since he knew that he really existed, he did notice changes in himself.

Being able to use Qi at the first level of Dao Fruit realm may be the first case in the Great Zhou Kingdom.

As we all know, a Taoist is equivalent to trash before entering the second level of Taoism. Only when he can control his Qi can he be considered to have officially entered the door of cultivation.

Many Taoists can only stay at the first level of Daoguo throughout their lives, and their dream of entering the second level of Daoguo and being able to control Qi is always a beautiful fantasy.

Gao Yuan originally said this to Xiang Jiannan. At that time, he had just traveled to the Great Zhou Dynasty and thought that he must have the aura of a protagonist.

He was gifted and a son of luck. It would only take him a short time to rank among the top practitioners in the Great Zhou Dynasty. However, after Gao Yu'an's disdainful explanation, he finally gave up the idea.

A young Taoist priest who hasn't even reached the second level of Taoist fruit should not think too much for the time being. If he really has nothing to do, he might as well think of a solution for his master.

Our temple is running out of food again.

Controlling Qi, does what I am doing now count? Holding the water scoop and gesturing in the air a few times, Xiang Jiannan saw that the green Qi appeared again. Although the light was dim, it did not affect his ability to see clearly. The green Qi would not stay in the air for a long time. Without any instructions, it would only slide in the air a few times.

It's a bit like a firefly dragging its tail, swinging for a few times and then quickly disappearing into the darkness.

Is this what the second level of Daoguo means by controlling Qi? I really want to find a Taoist who has reached this level to take a look.

As the green gas disappeared from his sight, Xiang Jiannan no longer wanted to take a bath.

The only Taoist priest I can contact in this world is my master, but I cannot rely on this old Taoist priest. It seems that I need to go to the county town one day. My master said that there are several second-rate Taoist temples there.

The specific situation was not mentioned, but from the master's words, I could tell that he looked down on those Taoist temples.

Those green gases seem to have nothing to do with me, but if used for a long time they will deplete my energy.

Another bucket of cold water was poured on him, but Xiang Jiannan still didn't give up. The Qi control that his master talked about was not very similar to what he did. For him, the interaction with the green Qi was missing.

Controlling Qi relies on the connection between heaven and earth, and one is just like using a tool.
