Chapter Six: Some Common Sense About Cultivation in This Life
Wu Siyuan drove the [Exploration Technique] and walked around Changling Town. The result was really fruitful, and he also found two places with unusual auras.
One is an ordinary family, with only one woman and a young daughter.
There is nothing unusual about these two people, but there is a skull enshrined in their home. The skull has strong spiritual light, is righteous but not evil, and protects the entire lintel.
Wu Siyuan went to the townspeople to find out that the head of this family was an executioner named Yuan. He was said to be very famous and had killed many lawless people.
But this executioner works in Fucheng, not here.
This made Wu Siyuan quite regretful. He wanted to get to know and experience him.
We can only wait for the future.
Another place in Changling Town with unusual auras is the fortune-telling stall.
To be precise, it was the Taoist priest at the fortune-telling stall who was over fifty years old, wearing white clothes and black trousers, and had a somewhat immortal air.
However, Wu Siyuan understands that the profession of fortune telling is more suitable for showing off, and is very popular among those masters and hermits.
certainly.
Although this Taoist has aura, under Wu Siyuan's [Exploration Technique], it shows that his luck is not high, and his aura is relatively scattered, indicating that his ability is not high.
But no matter what, this is the second person Wu Siyuan has seen with cultivation level besides Shi'er since he came to this world.
Wu Siyuan immediately came to the fortune-telling stall.
"Are you asking about your future or your marriage?" The fortune teller, who looked quite celestial, looked at Wu Siyuan and then spoke confidently.
"Ask..." Wu Siyuan changed his mind and said, "Ask about the general trend of the world..."
"..." The fortune teller was speechless for a while, are you here to cause trouble?
He laughed dryly, and then said, "The general trend of the world... throughout the ages, how many people can be counted in the general trend of the world, and how many people can see through the secrets of heaven? This old man's question cannot be answered by this old man."
"Oh..." Wu Siyuan glanced at the fortune teller, thought for a moment, and asked, "What is your name?"
The fortune teller said nothing, but glanced at the cloth hanging on his stall.
Wu Siyuan looked over and saw that it read, "Tiekou Divine Calculator Li Banxian."
"Li Banxian?" Wu Siyuan took a breath. He hadn't noticed before that this fortune teller was so loud?
You won’t really meet anyone who is an expert in gaming, right?
Wu Siyuan thought and activated the [Exploration Technique] again.
[Detection Technique] took a few glances at this Li Banxian. Judging from the intensity of the spiritual light on his body, it seemed that he was at Shi'er's level. At the most, he was in the late stage of Qi refining and had not even built a foundation. How could he have the courage to speak like this?
Li Banxian, who had always been an old god before, suddenly changed his expression slightly when Wu Siyuan activated the [Detection Technique] to observe him.
He glanced at Wu Siyuan with suspicion. He was obviously weak, bookish, and looked like a poor scholar, but it actually made him feel like he was being spied on.
This expression was keenly noticed by Wu Siyuan, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Yan Chixia's adopted son and apprentice did not notice that Wu Siyuan was observing him with [Detection Technique], but this [Li Banxian] could vaguely notice it, This perception ability is quite strong.
"I didn't expect that I actually met a fellow man here. I thought that in Changling Town, there was only the homeless swordsman like the old man. I didn't expect that there was also a handsome man like the young master hiding there. .”
Li Banxian is truly worthy of being a fortune teller, and he speaks so nicely.
Although Wu Siyuan was often flattered by others in the real world, Li Banxian's words still made him laugh.
Li Banxian asked, "What do you call fellow Taoist?"
"Cui Hongjian." Wu Siyuan said the host's name.
"I have often seen fellow Taoists in the town before, but I didn't know it at the time. I really can't see the mountains..." Li Banxian said, stroking his beard.
"I had not yet entered Taoism at that time... Of course, now I am also a fan of the lake... There are some things that I don't understand well, and I need fellow Taoists to help me clarify my doubts." Wu Siyuan said, he did not lie, and he has no knowledge of the cultivation of this world. The system is indeed unclear.
This seemed to be a bit abrupt, and Li Banxian smiled and did not answer.
Wu Siyuan understood immediately, took out a small piece of gold from his pocket and placed it on the hexagram stall.
Li Banxian's eyes suddenly lit up, and then returned to normal. He looked around quietly and found that no one was paying attention, and then he passed by Jin Zi lightly.
Li Banxian withdrew his hand, and the gold on the Gua stall disappeared.
Sure enough, gods also need to eat.
Wu Siyuan chuckled inwardly.
Li Banxian, however, looked calm. His actions just now did not affect his ability to maintain his immortal demeanor. Instead, he became more affable. He said kindly, "Fellow Taoist, if you have anything you want to know, I will tell you." .”
"Hey! I still like the way you looked like a fairy before. This way I would think that you are very confident. A piece of gold will make you soft. This makes me have very little confidence in you!" Wu Siyuan said silently in his heart. .
Of course, on the surface.
Wu Siyuan smiled slightly and asked softly, "Fellow Taoist, I want to know something about cultivation."
"After all, I entered this industry through confusion, and all I got were broken chapters. I don't know much about them." Wu Siyuan said nonchalantly.
"About cultivation matters..." Li Banxian frowned slightly. Wu Siyuan's question had a wide scope.
He thought for a while, then slowly told some common sense about cultivation, and said, "Fellow Daoist Cui, your question is a bit broad."
"I can only tell you some of the things I know."
"You said it." Wu Siyuan nodded.
"There are many capable people in the world, and they are all different. The great Confucian monks can drink away ghosts and monsters with a breath of righteousness, but they are useless against demons. The Buddhist monks and nuns chant sutras, make great vows, and perform meritorious deeds in order to achieve a golden body. The military monks Refining the evil spirit into the body, condensing the blood with military formations, and gathering the strength of the masses to overwhelm the rivers and seas, while I, the Taoist, observe the destiny, go against the will of heaven, eat the wind and drink the dew, and finally achieve the goal of longevity and freedom."
"I am not very clear about the cultivation conditions of other schools, but my Taoist cultivation is mainly divided into the spirit gathering stage, the pulse nourishing stage, the foundation building stage, the golden elixir stage, and the Yuanying stage. After the Yuanying stage, you can ascend and become a human being. Fairy."
"But it's a pity that after the Ming Dynasty was unified and Taizu ordered Liu Bowen to kill the dragon, the spiritual energy in the world became increasingly poor. There has been no great master in the Nascent Soul stage for many years." Li Banxian said with emotion.
"It's not just that there are no great masters in the Nascent Soul stage in our Taoist sect, there are no virtuous and eminent monks from the Shi family who can achieve fruitful cultivation. There are no heavenly demons among the monsters, and there is no news in the ghost world that there is a ghost king who has advanced to heaven. Ghosts bring harm to the world."
