After eating and drinking, we returned to Tianzun Temple. The Taoist priests arranged a courtyard for Guan Luoyang to stay.

This Tianzun Temple is divided into three main halls, six halls and twelve courtyards. It occupies a large area and is well-organized. It stretches from the top of the hill to the back and spreads halfway up the mountain.

In fact, Guan Luoyang is full of energy now and does not feel sleepy at all. However, Taoist priest Jiuhe and Qiudi have stayed up all night and are tired from running around. They said they need to rest for a few hours after boiling hot water and taking a bath.

Guan Luoyang naturally followed the host as he pleased, took a hot bath, and changed his clothes again, including a white straight-breasted suit with a lining, and trousers with a soft belt around the waist.

Outside is a robe with a round neck and large sleeves, a blue background and black edges, and the hem is only an inch off the ground.

The clothes were all bought by Qiudi in the town, because the robe was loose enough, so even if it didn't fit a little, it wouldn't be noticeable.

The shoes are cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles and a pair of white stockings.

After putting on this outfit, he sat down and rested quietly in the guest room, trying to figure out the heat he got from the residual pictures.

Although the descendant of the blue bird sounds a bit miraculous, but now this power, let's call it vitality, can only stay within the scope of the head, shoulders and arms.

There is no way to mobilize it to other parts of the body, let alone release it outside the body to injure people in the air.

However, within the scope of the head, shoulders and arms, once Guan Luoyang wants to concentrate his strength on a certain part, this energy will spontaneously surge towards that position, adding a more powerful quality to the attack of the arms.

During extremely strenuous combat sports, this vitality will also be depleted. After calming down, it will slowly recover on its own, and if you perform moderate exercise, the recovery speed can be accelerated.

What Guan Luoyang wants to understand is nothing more than two aspects, one is how to increase the use of this vitality, and the other is how to increase the upper limit of this vitality.

He made many attempts using the exercise methods he knew, but with little success, and finally had to seek outside help.

"Since there is such a thing as magic in this world, there may be a way for me to understand this vitality better, but they are probably still sleeping now. Well, let's practice a few punches first."

Putting the matter of Qingniao Yuanqi aside for now, Guan Luoyang got off the bed and started practicing boxing in this small bedroom.

He has only achieved two of the four major exercises, and there are still many areas that can be explored in the future.

Moreover, practicing boxing has become a lifestyle habit for him. If he doesn't practice when he has free time, he will feel uncomfortable all over.

In the bedroom, figures flashed back and forth, not far away from each other, but the strong wind blowing around them shook the door and windows slightly.

Until noon, the Tianzun Temple became slightly noisy.

Guan Luoyang listened attentively and heard the voices of Taoist Master Jiuhe and Qiudi, so he left the courtyard of the guest room and went to the front.

Everyone in Tianzun Temple gathered in the front hall at this time, and it turned out that they were welcoming a Taoist priest with a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and short beard, and a swastika scarf on his head.

This person is the abbot of Tianzun Temple, Taoist Master Jiuying.

Words such as abbot and abbot were originally Taoist titles. After Buddhism was introduced and became more and more prosperous, they were borrowed and used in order to facilitate the understanding of the people. Anyway, since the Han and Tang Dynasties, China, Taoism and Buddhism have copied each other, and most things have long been copied.

I can't tell where the source is and who started it.

Taoist priest Jiuhe introduced them, and Taoist priest Jiuying and Guan Luoyang greeted each other.

"Qiudi, a distinguished guest is here. How can we not show him the scenery of the Zhenwu Temple? You are so kind to entertain us, so don't neglect us."

Taoist Master Jiuying gave an instruction, which meant that the brothers and sisters had something to talk about alone.

Guan Luoyang happened to want to find Qiu Di, a talkative Taoist priest, to inquire about some things, so he followed the trend and left with Qiu Di.

Taoist Priest Jiuying dispersed all the Taoist boys and came to the main hall with Taoist Priest Jiuhe.

In the center of this hall, there is a statue of the Zhenwu Emperor, with hair and bare feet, golden armor and black robes. He holds a sword in one hand, holds a sword in the other, and has a turtle and snake statue on his feet.

Taoist Master Jiuhe looked up and sighed with a smile: "Brother, you asked people to enjoy the scenery, but after the earthquake three months ago, these statues were bumpy and bumpy. Some of the statues in the side hall were small or even...

It’s broken, so what else is there to see?”

"All the features are left to nature. As long as you are willing to pay attention, there are beautiful views everywhere. I think that little friend Guan is not a common person."

Taoist priest Jiuying replied a few words and then got down to business, "Earthquakes are not uncommon here in Jiaozhi, but Chengyin Mansion is located in a place where Feng Shui is harmonious and all the underground qi are entangled. It has not been shaken for five hundred years. Once an earthquake occurs,

, with all the qi flourishing, there will inevitably be frequent corpse evil disasters, and it will become an excellent place for all kinds of evil magicians to practice their skills."

Taoist Master Jiuhe nodded and said: "Haven't we been busy dealing with these things for more than three months? Look at the many disciples, how can any of them be idle these days?"

"Is this enough?"

Taoist Master Jiuying asked back, "In our Zhenwu Temple, there are only about thirty people who really know magic. There are only five magic sects in the entire Chengyin Palace, and there are only about twenty martial arts schools in Fist Sect. Even if we add

As for the number of soldiers and police officers involved in disaster relief, my budget does not include enough manpower."

Apart from that, even if it is a little ghost that can only come out and harm people in the middle of the night, it has to be subdued by someone who really knows the magic. Ordinary police officers will get close to it, which will only increase casualties.

Therefore, after the earthquake, Taoist Master Jiu Ying had already prepared to send orders to all the prefectures in Jiaozhi to summon warlocks from various factions to come to Cheng Yin's aid.

But in fact, the situation was far less serious than Taoist Master Jiuying expected.

There are indeed many evil corpses and ghosts, but there are not many evil sorcerers who take this opportunity to practice their magic and evil spirits who wantonly cause disasters.

Taoist Master Jiuhe understood what he meant and said: "I don't think you need to worry too much, senior brother. Back then, we sent orders to all the prefectures to encircle and suppress the sorcerers among the water bandits in the five prefectures, and helped the government to defeat more than 30 water bandits along the Red River.

We destroyed more than a hundred ships in the stronghold, and pursued the remnants all the way to the sea. They made a huge noise and everyone knew about it."

"After this battle, they also know that we have the ability to urgently summon masters from various factions. If they dare to come here to practice, they will fight for their lives against us, and they will also have to deal with subsequent encirclement and suppression by warlocks from various provinces."

"Even they may not have conflicts with each other. The danger is greater than the opportunity. It is normal for people in evil ways not to dare to take risks."

Taoist Master Jiuying pondered and said, "I hope that's the case. Among the water bandits in the Five Prefectures, there were too many evil sorcerers and desperadoes. They dared to shout with overwhelming force even if they had enough confidence. Now that I think about it, maybe I shouldn't put these monsters scattered all over the place with them.

It’s comparable to that big bandit back then.”

Taoist Master Jiuhe smiled and said: "Back then, you were sitting in the rear, in charge of warlock news, and dispatching various ministries, but you didn't have the opportunity to show off your skills in person. Are you itching to look forward to it this time?"

Taoist Priest Jiuying shook his head, looked at the mottled gold paint statue of Emperor Zhenwu, and said: "It is our ambition to defeat the demons with Zhenwu. But if the world is peaceful, even if we don't do anything in our lives, what is there to regret?

"

Taoist Master Jiuhe also looked at the statue: "Speaking of it, after the earthquake, many Taoist statues were damaged in various Taoist temples. Those Taoists who did not know magic had already gone to the surrounding prefectures to beg for alms.

We need to rebuild our golden body. Even those who are proficient in magic were traveling around to slay evil spirits in the past two months, but recently they have traveled far and wide."

Taoist Master Jiuying turned to look at him and said: "Respecting gods and ancestors only depends on your heart. Even if there is only a painting on the loess wall, it doesn't matter."

Taoist Master Jiuhe disagreed: "After all, our place has a good reputation. The people who come to worship want to see the majestic statues and seek peace of mind. If they are left in ruins, they will definitely return disappointed. Wouldn't they be living up to their expectations?"

Mind?"

Taoist Priest Jiuying thought for a moment and nodded: "What you said makes sense, then I'll let Qiudi and the others..."

"No, I can do it alone."

Taoist Master Jiuhe said, "I am planning to go to Jiaozhou Prefecture. There are many wealthy families there, and I have many friends. I want to come and raise a donation, but it only takes a few days."

"Okay, leaving today?"
