Chapter 44: Coaching
Wu Ming realized that he was a little bit big when the medicine was imported.
The Five Stones Returning to Ming San is a precious and important record in the "Yellow Court Yin Talisman Scripture" and very expensive to complete it. How effective is it?
It has a certain effect on Refined Masters and even Law Masters.
He is just a beginner, and swallowing directly the medicine is too much but it isn't a great obstacle.
At this point, he felt a gush of hot air emerging from his body, endlessly flowing through his limbs, bones, and internal organs, making him want to dance.
Although this medicine is not an elixir, it will burst ordinary people's entrances and they will die; ordinary Daoists can't stand it either.
Wu Ming was only wearing a coat, but his body was already steaming and his sweat became visible.
‘If you stand up at this time, let your mind go, gallop, and show its strength, I’m afraid it will really become a tiger-wolf medicine and defeat your vitality!’
Wu Ming thought clearly, but he was restrained.
Before he swallowed this medicine, he naturally had preparation and something to rely on. That was his martial arts cultivation!
Ordinary people can't bear this medicinal power, but his Innate body can barely guard the spiritual platform for a little clarity.
At this time, he forced it down, silently reciting the Yellow Court, and running the Yin Talisman to lock the heat. From the dantian, along with the spine of Ren Du, straight to the heavenly spirit and penetrated the Niwan.
Everyone has a Sea of Consciousness, but before it was developed, there was only chaos.
When Daoist Priests opens their Sea of Consciousness, they must illuminate it as the source of mana.
Although martial arts and Daoism have different paths, some methods are still connected.
At this time, Wu Ming clung to Lingtai, allowing the heat to pass-through Niwan and transforming into cold, like a clear line of ice, and churned into the Sea of Consciousness.
To the outside world, Wu Ming's previous appearance of steamed red prawns converged and turned into a calm color.
The Jade Rabbit sank and the Golden Crow rose up. [1]
Unknowingly, the night was already over.
At this moment, Wu Ming, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes, and a ray of light in his eyes flashed away.
"Ready to come out…"
He touched his eyebrow but the hint of joy could not be hidden: "I am now in a state of concentration, and can clearly feel the light that is ready to come out of the Sea of Consciousness… These Five Stones Returning to Ming San are really effective, although any medicines consumed the first time has the best effect, the rest should be enough to assist me to open up the Sea of Consciousness!"
"Even if you enter the Dao Institute, you can only be regarded as an outer disciple at best. Only when did you open up the Sea of Consciousness, receive the urn, and enter the door, can you be counted as an inner disciple.
"But now I can catch up with the progress in one month!"
Wu Ming opened his mouth and smiled.
Becoming a Daoist Priest is naturally not such a simple matter. As far as Wu Ming knows, the disciples in the Dao Institute have been trapped in this realm for more than a decade or even a lifetime, not allowed to enter.
For this reason, the Dao sects have developed a variety of urns such as Taishang Sanwudu Gongjing urn, Taishang Zhenyi Mengwei Jing urn [2], Eight Trigram Life Protection urn, Warding off Spirits and Gods urn, Four Forbidden Chi urn, life protection urn, etc. are all used as a means to promote seedlings.
However, it is a helpless move to open up the Sea of Consciousness with the talisman, and its potential will be inferior to those who self-opened their Sea of Consciousness, which is known as 'Heavenly Consecrated Daoist Urn'.
Even these Daoist Urns do not come out at will.
As for as Wu Ming knows, the Peaceful Cloud Dao Institute was awarded Nine Phoenixes Breaking the Foul urns. There are only three places every five years, all of which are grabbed with force.
After Wu Qing was introduced to the Sea of Consciousness and opened it in March, she received the Heavenly Gifted Daoist Urn. Her fame spread far and wide and is regarded as the seed of True Inheritance and is cultivated carefully.
"Hmm… Compared to Wu Qing, I'm basically cheating. But there 3000 Daos, as long as I achieve my goals, so what if I rely on foreign objects? It's just that as my strength is increasing, I have to keep up with my Dao Heart. Otherwise, the foundation will be unstable. It's somewhat miserable… Calm down, I have to read more about Daoism and cultivate…"
Wu Ming looked at the dark clouds in the sky and sighed.
At this time, a piece of heavy snow like catkins or goose feathers fell in the distance. In an instant, the earth was dyed white, covered by snow, he could feel the chill…
…
The fourth year of Ping An, December 30.
In addition to the sound of firecrackers, the warm spring breeze went into Tusu. Every day, thousands of households change the old peaches for new ones.
This world also has a Spring Festival, which is an ancient ceremony of Great Zhou. It was quite similar to his previous life.
There are even customs like changing peaches, burning bamboo whip, and drinking Tusu wine. The entire fortress was filled with a noisy and enthusiastic atmosphere, making Wu Ming a little nostalgic.
On this day, Wu Qing, who had been in the Taoist Academy for a long time, was about to return home.
"Hurry up, clean it up carefully. If the Eldest Lady is upset, be careful of your skins!"
Early in the morning, the entire Wu Fortress was in action, and Butler Wu was even more energetic and busy, and there were reprimands from time to time.
"It seems that there are many things in the Dao Institute. I heard that my sister has been promoted. I have been busy until now…"
Wu Ming was a martial artist and he had reached a point where he could not be invaded by either heat and cold. He was now wearing a big robe, a silver crown, fluttering long sleeves and was reading daoist books. With a leisurely attitude and smell of dust, he made the servants dumbfounded.
"The road must be cleaned up, and there are a few more plum blossoms in the yard. Sister Qing likes this…"
As he gave orders to Steward Wu at random, he saw another figure, and was startled: "Come here!"
"Young Master!"
Li Xiuyun, who wore a red coat with a silver hairpin and had flushed cheeks, came up to pay salute and nervously held his clothes: "This mistress wants to help…"
"Well! If you don't mind, you can spend time with us this year, it'll be livelier!"
Wu Ming said with a slight smile, this woman was being monitored but she didn't find anything wrong. Naturally, she naturally wanted to show some goodwill.
"Good!… no, thank you, Young Master!"
At first glance, Li Xiyun's eyes showed a hint of joy, almost carrying away.
"Miss's carriage is here!"
Then, another door child came in to report and Wu Ming hurriedly greeted him.
Li Xiuyun originally wanted to move, but her face suddenly darkened, and she slowly moved away.
"Eldest Young Lady, Young Master came out to pick you up in person!"
On the carriage, a clever smiling girl came down. Seeing Wu Ming, she smiled as she saluted and said to the carriage.
Wu Ming naturally recognized that this was the maid beside her sister named Xue'er.
"You little monkey, now you know some etiquette, how rare!"
The curtains opened, revealing Wu Qing's national figure. Although she was wearing a ceremonial robe, it couldn't hide her beauty and the cloak she was wearing added a bit of vigor.
"Elder Sister has worked hard, this younger brother was ignorant and negligent and I hope you do not take offense!"
Wu Ming stepped forward to help but seeing Wu Qing was startled, he gave a blank look. With a touch of relief, she got out of the carriage.
"I have seen the Lady!"
At this time, Steward Wu, Feng Han, and others all saluted. Wu Ming took Wu Qing's hand into the fortress and casually told about his actions.
"Well, running a school and training the Township Militia are all serious things for a solid foundation."
Arriving in the main hall, Wu Qing unveiled the big cloak and shook off the snow, her phoenix eyes showed a hint of playfulness: "It's just that… the wings of civil and military are prepared, younger brother, do you want to become a dragon?"[3]
Puff!
Wu Ming sprayed a sip of tea and almost fell to the ground: "You…what did you say?"
"Pfff…"
Seeing Wu Ming look like this, Wu Qing was trembling out of laugh: "I lied to you. It's really funny to see you scared like this!"
Her complexion turned serious again: "My generation's dao cultivators have jumped out of the Three Realms but not of the Five Elements. The secular world's kingship and the vicissitudes of life are all barriers, just ignore them! Otherwise, it will never succeed!"
"Thank you, sister, for the reminder!"
Wu Ming listened and felt moved, the accumulation of Daoism over these days seemed like it was only one step away from breakthrough and opening the Sea of Consciousness. He immediately thanked her and shivered: "Elder sister, you can see it!"
"You are full of spirit and your fetal light is sprouting. It is because your Daoism and temperament have been polished to the peak. You are only one step away to open up the Sea of Consciousness so you can naturally see it!"
There was a flash of scarlet qi in Wu Qing's eyes: "I originally wanted to find two cultivation techniques for you but I've never thought that you would be able to get it yourself. It's even an authentic one from Profound Gate, this is your fortune!"
"I am now practicing "Yellow Court Yin Talisman Scripture", obtained from Daoist Qingping of the Zhou family. Elder sister, look at it…"
Wu Ming handed over the Silver Seal Jade Book, calmly.
"The Zhou family?" Wu Qing raised her eyebrows and had a bit of a murderous aura. She took it back and took a look at it carefully, finally saying with emotion: "Good! This technique is as good as mine but unfortunately, it has only a small half… to find the follow-up, you can only rely on fate!"
"Elder sister doesn't seem surprised? Why didn't she ask about my secret?"
Wu Ming was stunned.
Anyone with such a radical change will always be suspicious.
And he had already prepared his speech, all relying on the memory of the dude, it was perfect.
But unexpectedly, Wu Qing has no doubts about him.
"Your natural talent in the Dao is just ordinary. If you've advanced by leaps and bounds, you've naturally have your own opportunities!"
Wu Qing smiled: "Did you know that since I've entered the rank of Law Master, your sister has been inspired and can calculate for others. Since you are you and there's nothing wrong with your soul, what else can I say? The luckier you are, the happier I will be!"
Wu Ming was a little embarrassed when he heard it.
If it weren't for the golden thigh of the main temple, helping me cover it up, I'm afraid that the secret would be seen through a long time ago and the death would be terrible.
"This time, big sister is back but there's something I need to tell you!"
Wu Qing said with a smile again, her complexion suddenly turned dignified, and she looked at the snow on her hands: "I have to be promoted by the abbot, and will be selected as Gao Gong. On the second of February next year, I will go to the Prefecture City to participate in the Dragon's Gate Meeting. Good or bad, it is hard to tell!"
"Elder sister knows that this Dragon's Gate Meeting will be very dangerous. It is even targeted by the county government. Can you temporarily avoid the cutting edge?
Wu Ming frowned immediately.
If Wu Qing is in trouble, even if he accepted it, the Zhou family will have no more scruples.
[1]: Metaphor for moon falling and the sun rising up. In ancient Chinese folklore, the Jade Rabbit is the pet of the Goddess of the Moon, Chang'e, while the Golden Crow is one of ten suns who scorched the land before Hou Yi shot down nine of them.
[2]: Have been typed in pinyin since translating it does not make any sense. However, it seems that the first two urns are the urns that real-life Daoists use to sanctify their names.
[3]: If you aren't familiar with the Chinese culture, being a dragon means becoming an Emperor. Although in this context, it should be a hegemon of a region, vying for the fate of the world.
