Chapter 4: Yan Li's Apprenticeship, Three Mountain Talismans
As long as there is enough incense, Yan Li will have the inheritance of gods and Buddhas all over the sky, and he can even invite them to come to this world for a short time. However, no matter how much inheritance he has, he still needs people to inherit it.
Zhang Daoling said that the child he rescued last night could be accepted as his apprentice, but Yan Li didn't want to force anyone to do anything. If he was willing, that would be fine, but if he wasn't willing, he could only send him down the mountain.
Yan Li had already woken up as soon as the sky was bright. Since he became the person chosen by the gods and Buddhas in the sky, he needs to get up and practice every morning. Even with these help, he still needs to be strong.
He stretched out and as soon as he opened the door, he saw this child standing at his door.
"It seems that the Soul Gathering Talisman last night worked." Yan Li asked while yawning, "What are you doing standing here?"
"Thank you for saving me"
"If you really want to thank me, then sincerely kowtow twice in front of the statue in the temple."
The child really obeyed Yan Li's arrangement and kowtowed several times respectfully in front of the statue. Soon Yan Li received the news on the jade plate, thirty-one pieces of incense!
Incense does not refer to the incense and candles used to worship gods and Buddhas, but faith. Those who worship sincerely and make offerings with heart are the real incense. There were originally more than 600, but unfortunately only 30 were left after a battle, which made Yan Li feel heartbroken.
Endless.
Yan Li went to meditate on a stone behind Po Tao Temple and absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth here was so rich that it was unbelievable. In just two years, he had officially entered the door of a cultivator from a layman, making rapid progress.
Almost all spells require incense in exchange, but when he first came to Hongwu Continent, in order to ensure his safety, the jade certificate gave him a practice method, the Jade Ruins Hunyuan Gong.
Yama of the Tenth Palace also taught him the secret knowledge of the underworld, the Reincarnation Sutra, when he was his disciple. Unfortunately, his current strength is too weak, and he has only learned the first level of the Reincarnation Sutra in two years.
The child stood behind Yan Li after paying homage to the statue. Yan Li ignored him and focused on practicing his own magic.
His ruined temple is located on the top of Guifang Mountain. There is only one winding path leading to it from three cliffs. Originally there was no road on this mountain, so Yan Li asked the gods and Buddhas to help open it.
The practice continued until noon. At this time, under the scorching sun, Yan Li absorbed the most positive and yang energy between heaven and earth to practice. However, the child could not bear such a high temperature. He was standing precariously behind Yan Li and might fall at any time.
When Yan Li finished his work, he found that he was still standing behind him and couldn't help but ask
"Why haven't you left yet?"
"I...I have nowhere to go..." the child buried his head and whispered.
"Nowhere to go? What's your name?"
"A Hundred Miles of Spring Breeze"
"Good name. Where are your parents? Where are they? I'll send you back."
Although Zhang Daoling said that this child could get his inheritance, Yan Li was not prepared to pass on these shocking spells lightly. There is no shortage of successors to the magical magic of the upper world. It is very simple to find someone to inherit it, but it must be approved by him.
"No...no...I don't want to go back."
After Baili Chunfeng heard that Yan Li was going to send him back, he immediately panicked and stepped back repeatedly.
"Why don't you want to go back, and why do you appear in this forest at night? Do you know how dangerous it is?"
"It was my parents who kicked me out of the house..." Baili Chunfeng said as tears rolled down involuntarily, "I don't want to go back, don't send me away, please..."
Yan Li frowned when he saw this scene. The nights in Hongwu Continent were extremely dangerous and ghosts appeared frequently. He could not imagine how hard-hearted parents would drive their children into the world of ghosts.
"Why are they doing this?"
"have no idea..."
Seeing the tears on Chunfeng's face, Yan Li sighed, picked up the sobbing Baili Chunfeng and walked towards the ruined temple.
"Chunfeng, since you want to stay here, are you willing to become my teacher?"
"I am willing, as long as you don't drive me away"
"Don't worry, you have become my apprentice. Even if you want to leave, I have to agree."
The spring breeze burst into tears and laughed, and I kowtowed to the ground respectfully twice, which was regarded as a ceremony of apprenticeship. All etiquette was kept simple.
Finally having his first apprentice in this continent, Yan Li was naturally in a good mood. He touched Chunfeng's head with his hand and passed on the Three Mountain Talisman Technique passed down by Zhang Daoling to Chunfeng.
"Master, there are so many things in my head."
"Chunfeng, Master tells you that this is a treasure passed down from the gods and Buddhas in the upper world. You just need to practice it seriously."
"What are gods and Buddhas..." Chunfeng scratched his head and had never heard of these two words.
"They were mortals. After they accumulated good deeds and cultivated Taoism in the world, they became gods and Buddhas, with endless lifespan and boundless magical power."
After that, Yan Li exchanged a set of Taoist robes for Chunfeng who spent twenty cents on the jade dish for the incense. Chunfeng was handsome and handsome. After putting on the Taoist robe and wrapping a purple sun scarf, a cute Taoist boy stood in front of Yan Li.
"You are more like a Taoist priest than me. No wonder Lao Zhang chose you."
"Taoist priest? Master, are we Taoist priests?"
Ever since Yan Li said he would not drive him back, Chunfeng turned into a lively and lovely child again.
"Well, the human form is the great road, and the body and mind are smooth. Only following the Tao and doing things according to the Tao is why we are called Taoists."
"This will be your home from now on. It took your master and me a long time to build this Taoist temple."
Chunfeng took a look around the broken Taoist temple, which was leaking everywhere and didn't even have a gate. The most incredible thing was that half of the walls of the Taoist temple collapsed for an unknown period of time. It was said that it was blown by the wind. A Taoist temple that can sway in the wind.
Chunfeng felt that he seemed to be in another unreliable place.
Thinking about how I would have to make offerings to gods and Buddhas all over the sky, Yan Li felt a little dizzy. Now I had nothing but a Taoist Temple. I practiced in the mountains for a day and then explained the Three Mountains Talisman Technique to Chunfeng.
Early the next morning, the master and the apprentice organized themselves and prepared to go down the mountain to light incense. The people of the Liyuan tribe were still waiting for him to pray to the gods.
Chunfeng was still young, and the mountain road was long and narrow, with no steps at all. Yan Li carried him on his back and walked vigorously.
Two years ago, he was sent to this Guifang Mountain by the gods and Buddhas and built this ruined temple. Because this mountain is far away from the human race's residence, there are often ghosts at night, so it is listed as a forbidden place.
Yan Lidu felt that he was lucky to be able to save 631 incense in two years. It wasn't that he didn't want to move to a place with many people, but that he couldn't move at all.
This is a gap opened in this continent by the combined efforts of the gods and Buddhas. All the incense can only be passed back from here, so the heavenly master Zhang Daoling asked him to establish the Buddhist and Taoist ancestral court here.
It's a pity that after exchanging the thirty-one pieces of incense for a set of Taoist robes, he was still far short of being able to hire the lowest level of immortals. In just the past two years, he has gone from a novice practitioner to a Taoist priest who is skilled in Taoism. Generally speaking,
