Chapter 375: Chanting sutras and external energy to return, capturing the lecherous young master and becoming famous

The precious carved fragrant carriage sped along, with golden flames crossing the sky, auspicious clouds supporting the fields, the sound of golden bells, and faint exotic fragrances wafting into the air, passing over countless beautiful mountains and rivers.

Gu Qingyuan stood on the windowsill and looked at the scenery for a while, then fiddled with the tea set. This golden box looked narrow from the outside, but it was actually full of mysteries. It was widened using the mustard seed Sumeru method, so that people could walk, stand or lie down freely. Not to mention drinking tea for two people, even a small banquet for seven or eight people could be held.

Qiuzhen paced along the edge, touching here and there, and exclaimed in amazement: "Brother Dao's method of refining weapons is indeed mysterious, with thousands of restrictions and many functions. If I were to refine it, I'm afraid it would just be a lump of iron."

"Brother, you are too kind. When you go out, you must have a skill. Please don't laugh at my little tricks. If you trust me, I can help you refine a treasure to protect you."

Gu Qingyuan said modestly, but there was no trace of that on his face. Instead, he was full of confidence. He did not care about seeking the truth. A real person should have a true temperament. He felt comfortable getting along with such a person who did not help or hinder others.

"That's exactly what I was thinking. I'm planning to refine a purple gold bowl to make it a magic-refining treasure, but I'm still short of a few fine gold materials. When the time comes, I'll have to rely on you, Taoist friend."

He did not mention the reward, and Gu Qingyuan did not ask either. It would be enough to get some precious materials. It would be even better to return them as a favor. This is how relationships become deep. You will not suffer any loss if you make friends with a gentleman.

In the blink of an eye, they had passed countless mountains and rivers. Gu Qingyuan took out the map he got from Monk Qiuzhen and compared it with the map: "Let's stay in this city and buy some gifts, so that people won't accuse me of being ignorant of etiquette. Then I'll fly to the banquet. My car is too conspicuous, so I don't want to alarm the dark man."

As for giving the Great Sun Essence Gold, the Five Directions Taoist had no roots and no good fortune, and he practiced the unconventional Yangshen method. Gu Qingyuan was not eager to give him a gift, and the Five Directions Taoist could not accept such a big gift. If he was not careful, his good fortune would turn into disaster and he would die.

Of course, Gu Qingyuan's nature of not doing anything without profit and his excellent quality of diligence and thriftiness are also important reasons for this.

There is really no rush for Qiuzhen. Even without the big monk, there is still the old Taoist priest. If the Five Immortals rely on this monk alone to transcend the tribulation, it would be better to reincarnate early and plan for the next life, and forget about dying.

The lower city is called Duwang, which is considered a county town with a large population. Not far away is Shushu Mountain, in which the Biyuetan Lake is located, and the Five Directions Immortals’ Taoist temple is situated.

The two of them pressed down the cloud outside the city, entered the city, strolled along with the crowd, bought some pastries and famous snacks, which were somewhat famous, and went to take a look at the famous sites in the city.

There is a shrine for civil officials in the city, with a literati wall standing on it, which is a famous historical site. There are many articles inscribed on the wall, but it is a pity that Qiuzhen and Gu Qingyuan are not good at this. They travel around and read like a dog chewing a peony. As long as the article has the right rhythm and is easy to recite, they will praise it.

After strolling for a long time, Gu Qingyuan felt a craving for food, so he pushed the monk to the Wangjiang Tower next to the temple, ordered a few dishes, and emphasized to the kitchen not to use animal oil. The store owner saw that there were two people from other sects, a monk and a Taoist priest, and thought they were pleasant, so he gave them a plate of peanuts and a plate of vegetarian snacks.

"Actually, it's not necessary. As a cultivator, I don't have to be so particular. It's not too much to eat some meat." Qiuzhen said happily. In fact, he knew that in a kitchen like this, even if the iron pot was cleaned, it would have been soaked in animal oil and would cause trouble for no reason.

Besides, as a monk he was not bound by etiquette, and when he was away from home, seeking perfection would only add to his troubles. Those strict rules and regulations could not restrain him; he only used the rules and regulations to restrain his heart.

"It's funny to say that when I didn't give up grains, one day I was knocked down a mountain stream by my enemies. I was starving and had to rely on fish to survive. At that time, I was chanting the mantra for transcendence and rebirth while giving up meat and fish."

Gu Qingyuan took a few chopsticks of food, swallowed it, and then said: "You are indeed a wine and meat lover, do you want to pay me a drink?"

As they were chatting and laughing, the two turned their heads at the same time. Wangjiang Tower had three floors. They were at the top, and they could see the main road in the south of the city.

When they turned around, they saw a man coming in from the city gate. He had a fair face and no beard, and was dressed in a white robe. In the cool weather, he was waving a jade fan, which gave him an air of wealth. The two men looked at him not because of this, but because the man had some Taoist skills.

"A turbid air like that of willow trees, with more yin than yang, and an impure aura. It looks like someone has practiced the method of collecting and replenishing energy." Gu Qingyuan commented.

Qiuzhen nodded: "He doesn't look like a righteous person. Although he has a pretty face, he has an evil aura. I'm afraid he is a lecherous thief."

He waved his hand and called the waiter over: "Brother Waiter, I have a question for you. Is there any good family losing their virginity or any unrest in the house in this Duwang city?" After saying this, he took out a few large coins from his monk's robe.

The second brother smiled innocently and took the money: "Let me think about it. It is difficult for me to answer what the master asked. The city has been peaceful recently and there has been no news."

After that, he placed a few large coins in front of the monk and said, "It is said that monks beg for alms for a living, and they use the money to offer to the Buddha. I can't read a few words, but I know etiquette, so I won't ask a few questions and do you a favor. I won't accept the money. Master, please offer it to the Buddha for me, in exchange for some blessings."

Qiu Zhen looked at the waiter carefully and put his hands together: "In this case, thank you, brother. Tonight, I will recite scriptures for the good man and bless the family to be peaceful."

The waiter grinned, and seeing that Qiuzhen had no other questions, he bowed and left.

Gu Qingyuan looked at the seven coins on the table and smiled, "It is said that the true scriptures are hard to come by, and each word is worth a thousand gold. According to the Buddhist allusions, the scriptures cannot be passed on lightly, nor can they be taken for nothing. The Buddha once said that the monks went down the mountain and recited the true scriptures to the elder Zhao in the country of Savatthi, ensuring the safety of the living and the transcendence of the dead. They only asked him for three dou and three liters of rice and gold. The Buddha also said that they sold it too cheaply, leaving their descendants with no money to use it.
The second brother gave up these seven coins in exchange for you, a wandering immortal Buddha, reciting the true scriptures. Once you recite the true scriptures, blessings will be bestowed upon you. The shopkeeper who was hesitating to promote him will be determined. His virtuous wife who is about to give birth will be spared a disaster, and even his old mother with eye problems will have some clarity of sight. All this is thanks to your giving up the merits to help him achieve his blessings. In my opinion, this scripture was sold too cheaply."

After hearing this, Qiuzhen knew that Gu Qingyuan was teasing him again: "Where did you hear this story? It's clearly a heresy. I am a monk, so of course I have to recite the sutras. That waiter is a good believer, and his heart is sincere in studying Buddhism. Although he has little money, he is full of kindness. The principle of Buddha's non-discrimination came from you. Are you going to deny it?"

He smiled casually: "It's nothing more than a little external merit, which can be accumulated over a period of time. Although I am on the path to becoming a Buddha, my heart has already become a Buddha, so why would I care about external things?"

Gu Qingyuan nodded, counted with his fingers, and said with a smile: "Then this nameless Taoist would like to pay his respects to the living Buddha."

It was clear at the first calculation that the waiter had good karma and good fortune, but it should not be on himself, but on his unborn son. The son was a talented top scholar, and he had been honest all his life, benefiting all the people. Qiuzhen had gained some external merits now, but he had also received some good luck and good deeds in return, which should be in the future, seventy-three years later. As the saying goes, cause and effect goes round and round, retribution will come, so be kind and be rewarded with merits.

Seeking the truth, he did not reveal the secrets of heaven, nor did he care about the gains and losses of external achievements. Having no utilitarianism was the foundation of the highest good. He had no worries and looked at the man again. His spiritual consciousness was focused on the west, and he was about to calculate his origins.

"Rest here for a night, the thief will definitely make a move." Gu Qingyuan suddenly said.

Qiu Zhen glanced at him curiously. There was a big difference in their cultivation levels. Before he could calculate the difference, Gu Qingyuan had already figured it out.

"Sure enough, he is a natural talent. I am far inferior to him."

That night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, with a jade plate hanging high in the sky.

The whole city fell into silence, with only a few lights on in the city, and only patrolling guards walking back and forth. From time to time, there were the sounds of dogs barking, and the night watchmen beating gongs to guard against fires. It was a scene of silence in all homes at night.

A figure appeared on the red-tiled roof without making any sound, still dressed in white in the gloomy night.

Ning Chen, nicknamed the Amorous Young Master, was born with a good appearance and attracted many romantic partners since childhood. Later, he was selected by a master and joined the Huajian Sect, becoming a good guest and a gentleman who picks flowers. The name of the Huajian Sect sounds elegant, but in fact it is a heretic among heretics, a magic sect among magic sects, and is best at the art of collecting and replenishing the yin and yang, and the love between heaven and earth.

The demons in this sect mostly select men and women with good looks and good complexion as their disciples. All of them are good at taking yin to replenish yang and taking yang to replenish yin.

With Ning Chen's looks, he is only second-rate in the Huajian Sect. Ever since he was accepted into the sect by his beautiful master, he has been an inner disciple during the day and also an inner disciple at night. The sect relies on inheritance as its bloodline, and the superiors bully the inferiors, and the big bully the small. Generation after generation of oppression, everyone demands offerings.

And the offering is naturally the vital energy collected from replenishing. Rather than saying they are a master and disciple, it is better to say that they are a cauldron for replenishing energy. Both the study of the law and the refinement of supernatural powers require some offerings, either by abducting a fully yang man or snatching a fully yin woman. If that doesn't work, then they can only do it themselves.

Ning Chen was quite lucky, but also quite unlucky. Fortunately, he won the favor of his master with his appearance and started on the path to immortality. However, the bad thing was that his master was an insatiable man who demanded offerings every day and taxes every night. It was not until he got a job in the sect that he was able to escape from that beautiful cave.

As the saying goes, wine is a poison that penetrates the intestines, and sex is a steel knife that scrapes the bones. It is also said that a beautiful woman in her twenties has a body as soft as butter and a sword at her waist to kill foolish men. Ning Chen really couldn't bear it anymore. All his hard work was plundered, and he had no choice but to go out to hunt for food.

'We have arrived. This is the place. The best cauldron for finding the way by searching for qi is right here.'

Ning Chen stopped his magic and quietly walked in. He waved the white jade fan in his hand, and a faint fragrance drifted throughout the house and entered the mouth and nose of everyone in the three-door house.

As the fragrance entered the air, everyone, whether awake or asleep, had their breathing stagnant and fell into a deep sleep. Ning Chen listened for a while, and seeing that there was no movement in the yard, he rubbed his hands and chuckled.

"My little beauty, I am here."

He is known as the Amorous Man. He is merciful to everyone, but he doesn't care whether the other party agrees or not. The woman he is merciful to will become medicine dregs overnight, with a lifespan in vain, weak and sickly, which is very tormenting.

After straightening his clothes, Ning Chen coughed dryly and gently pushed the door open. The boudoir was not very big and it was in full view. A golden gauze curtain covered the mahogany hollow phoenix bed, and a bright red brocade quilt covered its outline. The young lady was fast asleep inside, with only half of her arm, as white as a jade onion, exposed.

There was a small bed on the side, which belonged to the maidservant of the wealthy family. Although she could not be described as extremely beautiful, she was also a pretty girl from a small family, delicate and charming.

Ning Chen looked around and felt a burning sensation in his lower abdomen. Even the thing that didn't move much and was not very useful started to react. What a wonderful deal! There was also a buy-one-get-one-free deal. Today I'll try out the one dragon playing with two phoenixes trick.

"My lady, let me tell you that I am your husband for that night, a sentimental gentleman. The night is short, so I think we should not waste it. Let your husband enjoy the beautiful view first."

Ning Chen swallowed, his lust overwhelmed, even his handsome looks couldn't hide his lustful look, he reached out to lift the curtain, opened the quilt, and looked eager.

The rest of the scene is a bit dirty, with dragons and phoenixes turned upside down and the water in the pool disturbed. Ning Chen practices his skills to absorb the Yuan Yin into his body, using the person as medicine to help himself cultivate immortality.

"I say, how can you, a monk, be confused?" Gu Qingyuan asked.

Qiuzhen chuckled, "As a monk, I value cultivating my mind the most. I fight off countless demons every day. As the saying goes, a long illness makes a good doctor. It's not too much to know some methods to confuse the mind and confuse the spirit, right?"

Gu Qingyuan nodded without saying anything. I believed your ghost. Your illusion is clearly a Taoist trick. I don’t know where this thief monk learned this magic trick. But he didn’t explain, and Gu Qingyuan didn’t ask any more questions.

In this boudoir, the maid and the young lady were sleeping soundly. Ning Chen stood aside with the action of stepping into the door. The moment he entered the door, he had fallen into the illusion without knowing it. His energy was in vain, it was all an illusion.

Gu Qingyuan looked at the sweat on Ning Chen's head and said, "This method of collecting and replenishing is incomplete. Some of it has been intercepted by someone. There is only the method of collecting and refining. The method of increasing magic power and Taoism has been castrated a lot. This person is just a jar for storing food, waiting for the owner to open the lid!"

Qiu Zhen looked at him for a few seconds and said, "That's the method used by the Huajian Sect. Castration of skills is also a common method used by demons and monsters to manipulate people. How do you deal with this person, fellow Taoist?"

"It would be too easy for him to kill him directly. Judging from his aura, he has damaged the vital energy of at least hundreds of women. It would be a relief for him if he dies." Gu Qingyuan said.

The next second, with a burst of magical power, all the items on Ning Chen's body were swept away. He ignored the aphrodisiac and the love pill. Gu Qingyuan took out a jade mirror and gave it to Qiuzhen to check.

"So this guy is here to look for someone," Qiuzhen said after reading it. He didn't keep the secret. "This Huajian Sect has a leader named Xixia Master Qin Yuanhua, also known as Hua Langjun, Su Jin's exiled immortal, and a romantic figure."

Gu Qingyuan looked at Qiuzhen's face and said, "The romantic man, isn't he the flower picker?"

Qiuzhen sighed: "This Xixia Master behaves in a fickle manner, but he is known to be sincere. He was born with an extremely beautiful appearance, the best in the world, and has countless beauties. He usually loves to change his identity and tease the fledgling female knights and the fairies who have just entered the world.

First, he lives with the man in a fake body, keeps him company for a long time, takes good care of him, and gives him a clever mouth and a dashing appearance. By the time he reveals his true identity, it is too late.

He didn't collect the essence of Yin, and he didn't do the method of collecting and replenishing, as if he really wanted to exchange his true heart for true heart. The fairy heroine was inexperienced and was deeply involved in it. She felt that she had met her true love, and she threw herself on him and was willing to feed the demon. Many people were sentenced to leave the sect for this reason."

"It is said that love is hard to understand. That Master Xixia is the love tribulation of the fairy and the heroine. Once he entered the tribulation, he was imprisoned without knowing it. That Master also got the name of 'the love tribulation in the world'."

"When you were hiding your identity, you didn't touch that fairy heroine? Then after you took off your mask, did anyone's power decline and be taken advantage of by her?" Gu Qingyuan asked.

"No, there have been people who have met Master Xixia. He was accompanied by a group of beautiful girls, all of them were stunningly beautiful. It was such a grand ceremony, and his cultivation did not diminish, but instead increased." Qiuzhen replied.

"Then the righteous path has no way to control him. After all, he still has an identity as a demon."

"Of course there are, but Qin Yuanhua has the cultivation level of a wandering immortal, and ordinary people can do nothing to him. He also has exquisite escape techniques and the art of disguise, so he comes and goes without a trace. Only some righteous people have issued a hunting order and are desperately searching for him."

Hearing this, Gu Qingyuan thought about it, did some mental arithmetic, and gradually became interested.

"It turns out that this young man is also nearby. We will meet him soon."

He smiled and said, "I want to see what kind of person this Xixia Master is. He will definitely do something evil to break up the couple."
