Exorcism

A small candle was lit on the clean table, and a young man was immersed in reading under the alternating light and shadow window.

Although there are many books in the library, most of them record history, and there is only a very concise introduction to Taoism. Xiaoqiu knows that opening the seven orifices is the first step in formal Taoism, but has no way of understanding the detailed steps. Mengdu teaches The booklet left behind could explain almost all the doubts in his mind.

The seven orifices of the ears, eyes, nose, and mouth correspond to the four abilities of hearing, seeing, smelling, and speaking. They are the main channels for external information to enter the human body. At the same time, they are also tightly guarded portals. All information must be inspected and processed at all levels. Filtering, only one out of a hundred can finally pass. The most critical thing is that they block the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that is crucial to the ascetics.

The Tao fire is not extinguished, and the spiritual energy is the fuel for the Tao root. The more spiritual energy, the purer it is, and the Tao root burns more vigorously.

Ordinary people's obstruction of spiritual energy is a kind of protection. Their bodies are too weak, and a very small amount of spiritual energy is enough to cause devastating consequences. Therefore, ascetics must first strengthen their bodies, and then they can open the seven orifices to receive ten times more energy than before. With the above information, spiritual energy also entered.

But the spiritual energy at this time can only stay in the human body for a short time and will soon be lost. In the process of entering and exiting, the body of the monk will become stronger and tougher, just like a bird's nest, accumulating grass and feathers one by one. , not habitable until it takes shape.

The order of opening the seven orifices is different for each person, but it can only be done one by one. The process of opening the seven orifices is the same every time:

First of all, a certain ability is suddenly greatly enhanced, and the ascetic must concentrate all his energy to use it. Excessive use of extraordinary abilities at this stage is harmful, ranging from mental depression to organ damage.

Then, after a period of practice and accumulation, this ability will suddenly be greatly enhanced at a certain moment and last for a long time. This is an important level. Countless sounds come at the same time, the smallest sights fill your eyes, the taste you are accustomed to suddenly becomes pungent, and your mouth keeps making sounds that can be transmitted for miles or even ten miles. It’s too Strong abilities become torture. At this time, the ascetic must eliminate distracting thoughts and concentrate on fighting against his extraordinary abilities. After passing the test, he will always have this ability and can use it with very little energy.

Xiaoqiu saw a few lines of bold black text, reminding the ascetics not to use paranormal senses frequently even after passing the test. Cultivation requires meditation and enhanced audio, visual, smell, and speech. It is just a side effect of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Long-term use will cause great interference. Cultivating the Tao itself is tantamount to abandoning the fundamentals and pursuing the fundamentals.

Many children of ascetics have Taoist roots at a very young age, but they still have to wait several years before starting to formally practice Taoism. The first purpose is to forge the body, and the more important reason is to wait until the mind matures and will not abuse the supernatural sense. Only if you can, you can open up the seven orifices, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

It is extremely rare for someone like Zuo Liuying, the leader of the Forbidden Secret Department, to start practicing in his mother's womb, and there may not be one in ten thousand years. And he also paid the price for this, losing the ability to speak forever.

The five children of Taoist priests mentioned by Erliang Shen Xiuwei obviously belong to this situation. They did not start practicing early, but like ordinary Taoist holders, they did not enter the temple until they were in their teens.

Xiaoqiu's lift of the boulder on the Laozu Peak showed that his body could withstand the resuscitation. However, there was a problem that neither Meng Yuanhou himself nor the pamphlet he left behind could explain: resuscitation was risky. It is usually carried out carefully under the supervision of elders. It is rare for someone to learn it without a teacher - very rarely, but this rare phenomenon has happened to the descendants of ascetics without exception.

People like Xiaoqiu, who come from ordinary backgrounds and whose Taoist roots came into being very late, can also open their ears on their own.

This is definitely the first time in Meng Yuanhou's impression.

After finishing reading the album, the moment Xiaoqiu was about to close the page, it began to burn and soon turned into ashes, blown away without a trace by a gust of breeze coming in from the window.

Xiaoqiu extinguished the candle, returned to the kang and lay down, without using her extraordinary hearing.

Being different is a strange feeling, mixed with the pride of being superior to others and the fear of being abnormal. For Xiaoqiu, this contradictory feeling is especially obvious. He opened his eyes and thought for a while, turned around and went to sleep. All emotions were thrown out the window.

Before dawn the next day, Zhang Lingsheng had already shouted at the top of his voice for his disciples to get up. He was a man who had opened the seven orifices, but he strictly followed the precepts and rarely used the four extraordinary senses.

Xiaoqiu's body was still very sore. After walking a few steps, she felt better. When she walked out the door and breathed in the fresh air, she felt refreshed and her physical pain became worth mentioning.

Seeing Xiao Qiu's appearance, many children greeted her enthusiastically. Some even ran over from the other end of the yard. Xiao Qiu all responded with the same enthusiasm. He still remembered the two stories he heard yesterday, but he just didn't want to say anything about it. He cares too much about this. His purpose is to cultivate Taoism and he does not want to be disturbed by these small things.

Just understand the truth, Xiaoqiu thought.

First, he performed a set of bone-forging fists. Xiaoqiu stood next to Shen Hao as usual. When he went to get the stick after the boxing practice, he whispered: "There is no need to seek revenge from Xin Youtao."

Shen Hao looked surprised, "Who is talkative, Mu Feihuang?"

Xiaoqiu shook his head, "No one leaked the secret. I just happened to know that it was not Xin Youtao who made the stone roll down, but..." Xiaoqiu pointed at the real culprit.

"Zhang Lingsheng?" Shen Hao's voice was even lower. There were too many people around him. He picked up a stick and lowered his head back to his original position. "When you said that, I kind of remembered it. Zhang Lingsheng also wanted to get a reward. He participated the day before yesterday. He climbed quite fast and passed me, but he didn’t reach the top and didn’t meet you. It was really strange.”

"That's it. We will go to Yangshen Peak to practice soon. We will no longer have any contact with Zhang Lingsheng. He can't do any harm. There is no need for us to waste time on him."

Shen Hao was still angry, but he knew himself. It would be easy to beat Xin Youtao, but seeking revenge on a Taoist priest who had already opened his seven orifices would be asking for trouble. "When we succeed in cultivating Taoism..."

Xiaoqiu smiled. The boy from Yelin Town is the most reliable partner. He hopes that everyone can go further.

"Recovering well." Xin Youtao didn't know that he had just escaped, but his tone was still very arrogant and a little excited. He suffered under Xiaoqiu's stick every morning. Although there was a healing medicine that was very effective, he still Hoping to hit back with a few sticks, Mu Xingqiu looked extremely weak today and even swayed a little while standing there. This was the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time.

"The days when you are allowed to fight casually are running out. What are you waiting for? Take action and use all your strength!" Meng Yuanhou always felt that his disciples were not harsh enough and tried every means to stimulate everyone's fighting spirit. At this time He had a new idea, walked around among the sticks, and said loudly: "I will hold a competition at the end of the month, and the winner will be rewarded with three gold souls. Don't think you have no chance, I don't care who has the best stick skills, as long as It depends on whether you have tried your best, and those who do not care about their own safety will still be victors even if they are defeated!”

If they are only better or worse than the stick method, many children will immediately lose confidence in competing. After all, no one wants to compete with the strongest children, but using all their strength is to compete with themselves, and almost everyone can There is a possibility of winning.

Meng Yuanhou's goal was achieved. The shouts in the courtyard were several times louder in an instant, the sticks were struck more frequently, and the shouts became one.

Xin Youtao attacked with all his strength from the beginning, but his judgment was wrong. Xiaoqiu looked weak, but he still swung the stick hard and accurately, with much more energy than usual. The first stick hit the prince with an obvious bump on his head.

Xin Youtao couldn't take precautions, screamed, turned around and ran away. He could have exchanged a few blows, but now he had no fighting spirit and just jumped back and forth in the crowd. He didn't run very far when he bumped into Marquis Meng Yuan and was taught by Du Jiao. He picked it up and threw it at Xiaoqiu, "You can't die, so why run away!"

Shortly after dawn, the fight ended. Xin Youtao had more swelling than ever before. He angrily said to Xiao Qiu: "When you get to Yangshen Peak, you won't be so proud. There is no competition over physical strength, only understanding."

Xiaoqiu raised his eyebrows and did not respond. Although he was against private revenge, it was still pleasant to have the opportunity to beat Xin Youtao. Although the prince was not the mastermind of the boulder rolling down, he forced Xiaoqiu and Fangfang to release the demon seeds. The behavior remains inexcusable.

Xiaoqiu handed back the stick, and when he stood up, he suddenly felt that someone was staring at him.

He turned his head and met two sharp eyes.

Xiaoqiu had noticed this child as early as when he was practicing bone-forging boxing. In fact, no one could turn a blind eye to him. He caused more whispers than Xiaoqiu and Erliang Shen Xiuwei combined. Shen Xiu Wei herself always stared at him.

The boy is about ten years old, with a well-proportioned figure, neither tall nor short, with black hair pulled into a high bun like an adult Taoist priest. His facial features are flawless, too perfect to be what a human should look like. His expression is slightly melancholy, as if he has just arrived and is a stranger. Erliang Shen Xiuwei once said that he was very shy, but what Xiaoqiu saw was a deep-seated pride. Compared with him, Xin Youtao was like a farmer's son.

But his pride is so natural that everyone takes it for granted. Even Marquis Meng Yuan, Dujiao, will formally nod slightly when he walks past him, which is completely different from how he treats other children.

There were four people beside him, two women and two men, all about the same age, all breathtakingly handsome. Xiao Qiu was willing to swear to anyone that he saw a layer of softness in these five children. Light.

The stare-off ended immediately. Xiaoqiu didn't see any emotion in the other person's eyes, it seemed like there was only pure curiosity.

Even such a brief exchange of glances attracted the attention of many children. Erliang Shen Xiuwei ran over and whispered excitedly: "They are real Taoist disciples. I really hope to become friends with them."

Xiaoqiu also wanted to, but recalling the elegant voice he overheard yesterday, he was a little bored. That voice matched its owner very well and announced to everyone in a hidden way: He will choose his friends, but others cannot choose him. .

In the dining room, five Taoist disciples sat around a table. The food they ate was different from others. They only had half a bowl of rice and a few green vegetables, which was small and light. kans.com But they ate very seriously, as if it was a serious matter. task.

They ate quickly, and then the leading boy stood up. He was not tall and his appearance was not majestic, but there was no sound in the dining room.

Xin Youtao looked at him expectantly, and found that the other party did not come towards him, and his disappointment was palpable.

The boy didn't look sideways, walked to the table of young people in Yelin Town, and solemnly nodded to the stunned Erliang Shen Xiuwei, "My name is Shen Geng, and I hope to work hand in hand with fellow Taoists in the future."

Erliang stood up in a hurry. Happiness came too suddenly. He was so panicked that he didn't know what to do. He said with a red face: "My, my name is Shen Xiuwei..."

Shen Geng nodded again and turned to Xiaoqiu, "I also hope to work with this fellow Taoist to carry forward Pangshan Taoism."

"My name is Mu Xingqiu, and this is also my wish." Xiaoqiu replied while sitting. She felt it was not polite, so she stood up.

Shen Geng's overtures were limited to these two people, and he turned a blind eye to the other Yelin Town teenagers. Then he walked to the table of female disciples next to him and cast his eyes on Xiao Qingtao.

Xiao Qingtao was so excited that her whole body was shaking. She held Fangfang's arm tightly and couldn't say a word.

"Non-demon can learn the Tao." Shen Geng's tone did not change from before, still elegant and slightly indifferent, "But until she proves that she has truly severed all ties with the demon clan, I do not recommend that you be friends with her. "

Shen Geng left together with his four companions. No one spoke in the dining room for a long time, only the monotonous noise of bewildered village women scraping wooden barrels.
