Chapter 557: Promise to Senior Brother 3
After seeing his fellow apprentices break through one after another, Xiao Beichen was still so happy, not only because he was the one who broke through this time, but also because...
He then realized that he did not enter the Tao through talismans, but through the imperial aura.
But although he was excited, he did not say it out loud. He quickly calmed himself down, returned to the fasting and prayer rituals, and took over his responsibilities.
In the afternoon, after finishing the day's fasting and prayer service, he briefly explained to his master and left quickly. The other fellow disciples quickly followed. During these days, they all returned to Qingfeng Hall to meditate.
Those who have reached the pinnacle must, of course, work hard to practice for every small step. Those who have not yet broken through also want to do so as soon as possible so as not to fall too far behind their fellow disciples.
Even Han Wenyi, who has always been indifferent and inactive, has recently realized that she wants to quickly reach the true initial stage of the Heavenly Master realm and has become motivated to work hard.
Only Yuntang, when she returned home every day, either meditated or drew talismans. In the meantime, she also refined several furnaces of nourishing heart pills. Her master brought her some more orders.
Normally, she was too lazy to refine this kind of elixir that could not be sold at a high price, but her master said that those palaces and temples had already snatched away all the Teng Snake and Suzaku.
Although the cost of this magic weapon is high, they cannot just bargain for it, but they can find some benefits for it elsewhere.
They make a lot of money from business, and each temple also has its own industries and ways of making money, such as selling talismans, selling peace jade, exorcising evil spirits and catching ghosts, and looking at feng shui and yin and yang houses...
Just as Yuntang told the people in the Marquis' Mansion last year, Taoists have many ways to make money, so she is not short of money.
Although her money at that time was given by her senior brothers, she also had those abilities after her rebirth and it was easy for her to make money.
But they are Taoists, and the master is afraid that they will forget their original intentions in the pursuit of benefits. Therefore, it is acceptable to reward those Taoist people with cheap nourishing heart pills.
In addition, the master also asked her to take some time to draw a batch of purple talismans and five-thunder talismans and sell them cheaply to the Taoists attending the Luotian Grand Ceremony.
No matter whether it is a palace or a Taoist priest living in a hut or a wandering Taoist priest, as long as there is demand, they will supply the goods, and the price will be more favorable than that of Tianji Pavilion.
These talismans will undoubtedly give practitioners more confidence.
They have a higher level of cultivation and can easily obtain resources, and bring some benefits to Taoism, which is also a merit.
Now, although many of the senior brothers have broken through, not many of them can draw purple talismans. Yuntang is the only one who can draw purple talismans fluently and easily.
Even Master Yun has only made some progress recently.
Xiao Beichen had been studying the purple talisman for a long time, which made him think that he entered the Tao through the talisman, but it turned out that he entered the Tao through the emperor's aura.
Therefore, once the purple talisman he draws with his current strength is formed, its power will be on par with the purple talisman drawn by Yuntang, because he is using the imperial aura.
Yuntang has a lot of merits and Taoist rhyme.
What the master meant was that he hoped that by the end of the entire grand ceremony, each temple would have the financial resources to buy some purple talismans and five-thunder talismans to take back, even if they were just to keep them to protect the temple.
Therefore, not only Yun Tang began to increase the time spent on drawing talismans, Xiao Beichen also chose to cross-draw purple talismans and five thunder talismans to consolidate his cultivation foundation.
Then others also increased the time for drawing talismans.
Han Wenyi followed Yuntang to refine several furnaces of Yangxin Pills, and then followed Yuntang to refine Ningyu Pills. When Yun Xuanyu heard that it was Ningyu Pills, he also joined in.
Yun Xuanying, who had not yet found a way to break through, was also learning silently and was busy having a lot of fun.
The second day of March is a day of rest. Including this day, the eighteen-day Pu Tian Da Jiao ends. Then Taoist Master Yun will preside over the Zhou Tian Da Jiao.
Up to this point, Yun Tang has released about three lifetimes’ worth of merit. As the power of merit flows more and more widely between heaven and earth, the four realms have also benefited greatly.
Xiao Beichen and Gu Chengfeng took their second senior brother with them and returned to the northern border.
All the way from south to north, you can see that the ice and snow are gradually melting, the mountains and forests in several southern cities are becoming more and more green, and you can see pink peach blossoms, green willows, and blooming winter jasmine flowers in the mountains and fields.
Only the border town area was still covered in ice and snow, but it hadn't snowed again. By digging up the snow, one could see the spring grass sprouting and the trees having new buds.
After a discussion, several people decided to intervene with manpower, and the city guards, government offices, and civilians all took action.
Even if it is just cleaning the snow in front of one's own door, one can shovel and dig the snow on the official roads connecting various places, and clear the transportation roads from south to north step by step.
The snow in the fields is also dug up to allow the soil to see the sunlight earlier. The snow is dug into the ditches and slowly melts into water, returning to the earth.
As for the icicles and thick snow in the woods, they cleared them away directly with force, and checked the rocky slopes to prevent landslides.
For this purpose, they ran back and forth many times and even called on their master for help.
As a result, the Cang Yun Temple in the northern border also went out, and Taoist Fang Tian directly called out his own red-robed disciples from the grand ceremony and divided them into several groups.
Yuntang took out the third Azure Dragon and secretly went to several places hit hard by the snowstorm with his ninth senior brother. Using the two Emperor's Swords as axes, they used the power of merit to stir the power of heaven and earth to accelerate the melting of ice and snow.
The others were elsewhere and for a moment they didn't notice their little trick.
After others had completed manual ice and snow melting in many places and arrived at the border town... they discovered that the scene here was similar to that of several cities in the south.
Finally, Xiao Beichen thought of an explanation: "Maybe the altar in the northern border has a smaller load, so the power of merit plays a greater role in this area?"
After all, according to common sense, the altar is set up in Yunfeng Temple next to the border town, and the first area to get the good things should be the border town.
But they found that the areas south of the northern border benefited the most, while the border towns had been quiet for a long time, which led to their intervention.
After they finish dealing with the situation in the south, the north will actually become easier to deal with?
This is the only explanation I can think of, unless Xiao Tang'er adds merit to the Northern Territory Altar.
But this speculation cannot be told to the Taoist priests in Cangyun Temple.
Since things were going the way they expected, the matter was left unresolved.
When he returned to Qingfeng Palace, Xiao Beichen found out that it was Yuntang who had secretly been there, and he was immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
But when Xiao Beichen saw Yuntang’s third blue dragon, he was so happy that he immediately took it and didn’t want to let it go.
"Xiao Tang'er, Third Senior Brother has already reached the peak. This Azure Dragon Wooden Puppet belongs to him."
This was also the promise Yuntang made to his third senior brother before he went to the Western Territory last year.
What else could Yuntang say? He could only offer it with both hands.
However, the secret she revealed to her master was: twelve Teng Snakes and twelve Vermillion Birds.
But now a third Azure Dragon has appeared, isn't it...
The other brothers whose strength had reached the peak all surrounded her, looking her up and down with sparkling eyes. In the end, Yun Xuanyu asked directly.
"Xiao Tang'er, there won't be a fourth one, right?"
Gu Chengshen also smiled and rubbed his hands: "Xiao Tang'er, look at how hard it is for Fourth Senior Brother to travel between the capital and the northern border. If..."
