Chapter 1 1 Tianshi Mansion
Chapter 1 1. Tianshi Mansion
Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion, at the foot of the mountain, the sixth branch of the Taoist Children's Academy.
Lei Jun wore a gray standard Taoist robe and sat in the main hall, shaking his head and chanting Taoist scriptures with other gray-robed Taoist children.
As a time traveler, he came to a world completely different from Blue Star.
A world where immortals and demons coexist, gods and monsters appear together, where practitioners fly into the sky and hide in the ground, move mountains and open seas.
It should be said that Lei Jun is lucky.
Not long after he came here, he entered the Tianshi Mansion.
Tianshi Mansion has always been ranked among the three holy places of the Taoist sect in the world. It is the ancestral home of the Taoist talisman lineage. The contemporary Tianshi is also one of the top Taoist masters in the world, a leader.
But this is just the beginning.
Because Lei Jun is just a Taoist child who has just entered the sect. He has not been ordained and has not been granted the talisman, so he cannot be called the true disciple of Tianshi Mansion.
The Tianshi Mansion in this world has eight outer mountain Taoist child branches at the foot of Longhu Mountain. New Taoist children like Lei Jun spend most of their time here.
At this stage, everyone has group lessons twice a day, morning and evening.
In the morning class, everyone recites Taoist scriptures and various precepts and rules.
In the morning, they teach and guide the initial practice.
In the afternoon, they have their own activities. Most people choose to go to the Deacon Hall to take on tasks to complete and accumulate merits.
In the evening class, they study the basic Taoist classics collectively.
Fortunately, although Lei Jun and others can only be called Taoist children instead of Taoist priests, as one of the most sacred places for Taoist cultivation in the world, the Taoist Child Academy of Tianshi Mansion has already taught preliminary Taoist methods to lay a foundation for the Taoist children.
On this day, after finishing the morning practice and having lunch, Lei Jun and several other Taoist children came to the Talisman Paper Building in the east.
The task they received from the Deacon Hall today was to help cut the talisman paper.
The Taoist talisman school often uses spiritual talismans. In addition to the cultivation of the talisman maker himself and following the talisman scriptures, the materials such as talisman pens, talisman ink, and talisman paper will also affect the effectiveness of the spiritual talismans.
The talisman paper used by the disciples of Tianshi Mansion, even the most basic yellow paper, is specially customized.
Not only do the previous material preparation and papermaking processes require special workshops, but even the cutting and cutting need to be done by Taoist children such as Lei Jun, rather than handed over to mortals.
"It's a pity that we can't use the talisman paper we cut." People kept sighing.
Lei Jun was silent after hearing this, and he concentrated on cutting the yellow paper neatly, without any difference.
Another Taoist child sighed: "Practice hard and accumulate merits and virtues seriously. After we participate in the transmission and formally become disciples, we can make talismans ourselves."
The Taoist talisman school emphasizes the dual cultivation of sex and life. Cultivating life is before cultivating sex. In general, life refers to the physical body, and sex refers to the soul and spirit. Therefore, the cultivation of Tianshi Mansion starts with strengthening the body.
Although Lei Jun has been a student for a short time, his body is already full of true qi, his flesh and blood are strong, and he practices Taoist boxing and kicking diligently. It is difficult for ordinary people and monsters to get close to him.
Even if he has a talisman handed down by a senior master, he can also use it.
But without the ordination and the true teaching of the talisman scripture, Lei Jun and others cannot make talismans by themselves, nor do they know other higher-level Taoist magical powers.
Is this considered a temporary apprenticeship?
After traveling to the world of immortal cultivation and entering the Taoist ancestral temple, one still has to work hard to pass the examination and get a certificate in the future... Lei Jun shook his head and neatly stacked the talisman paper he had cut.
Based on his experience of reading novels in his previous life, he can only be considered an outer sect or miscellaneous sect now.
The distance between a Taoist boy and a Taoist priest is between the Taoist Boy Court at the foot of the mountain and the Tianshi Mansion on the halfway up the main peak.
One day, after entering the Tianshi Mansion to participate in the ordination, and having his own master, Taoist name, and generation name, the Taoist boy will officially become a Taoist priest and become a true disciple of the Tianshi Mansion.
That is the inner sect disciple or the inner disciple that Lei Jun often mentioned in the novels he read on Blue Star before.
As for the further ordination, it is not something that the little Taoist boys should consider.
When everyone was busy, a thin young man in a gray robe rushed into the talisman paper building.
Everyone was curious: "Brother Zhang, didn't you take an errand to go down the mountain to gain experience and accumulate merits? You came back so soon..."
The thin Taoist boy also started to cut talisman paper: "Don't mention it, my luck is so bad!"
Say he won't mention it, but he couldn't help but say: "I went to Qingxi, 50 miles outside the mountain, and heard that there was a monster, so I rushed there to exorcise the monster and eliminate the harm for the people!"
You can also earn some incense money by the way, and there may be rewards from the Taoist boy's courtyard after returning to the mountain.
However...
"Right under our Tianshi Mansion, what kind of monster would be so blind?" Lei Jun asked casually while cutting paper.
"Isn't it?!"
The thin Taoist boy stopped moving: "It's not a monster at all, but a few thieves pretending to be ghosts, disguising themselves as monsters to cause trouble and rob people!"
He was full of grief and indignation: "It's a pity that I finally got a talisman to ward off evil spirits, but it was wasted like this!"
Everyone stopped what they were doing, and felt the same grief and depression as the thin Taoist boy:
"What a sin!"
For those little Taoist boys who can't make talismans by themselves, they can get talismans from the deacon hall of the sect, but they need to exchange them with the "hard-earned money" accumulated from their usual merits and virtues.
In addition, sometimes there are more cost-effective jobs.
Although the elders of the sect have their own disciples to send, they occasionally select Taoist boys and elixir boys from the Taoist Children's Academy.
As long as the other party is satisfied, the other party may directly reward them with talismans and elixir.
In addition, if they can catch the other party's eye and form a good relationship, for the little Taoist boys, there will always be more reliance in the future.
Such jobs are rare, of course, the competition is fierce, and they can only be encountered by chance.
As we were chatting, there was a commotion downstairs.
A voice came from the window:
"Elder Du opened the altar to make talismans and wanted to select a Taoist boy?! Is it true?"
"Keep your voice down, do you want to make such a noise that everyone in Longhu Mountain will know?"
"Yes, yes, this is first come, first served, let's go quickly!"
"I don't know if I can be favored by Elder Du..."
When everyone in the building heard this, their eyes suddenly widened.
They were discussing this just now, and now the good job is coming?
"Could it be fake news?"
Beside Lei Jun, someone subconsciously licked his lips, but his face was full of desire.
Senior Brother Zhang clapped his hands and said, "You'll know if you go and see it?"
Everyone else also dropped what they were doing.
In Lei Jun's mind, a ball of light suddenly flashed.
Then the words appeared in my consciousness:
[The elders opened the altar and selected Taoist boys. Everyone cheered and strived to be the first. However, misfortune lies on the back of blessing, and blessing lies on misfortune. A sudden change is coming. 】
No one noticed the sudden change in Lei Jun.
All the young people looked eager and rushed out.
After the ball of light flashed in Lei Jun's mind, three strange sticks flew out, with writings on them:
[If you win the lottery, don't join in the fun, and finish your own affairs quietly. After the sudden change, go to the elder's cave to help rescue the wounded. You will get a fifth-level opportunity, move in secret, and have no worries. It's auspicious. 】
[Winning the lottery, don't join in the fun, just wait for the opportunity. After the sudden change, go to the Ganoderma lucidum platform, you can get a sixth-grade opportunity. However, the big tree attracts the wind, attracts jealousy, and hides future troubles. It's flat. 】
[If you win the lottery and go to participate in the selection, you may have a chance to be selected, but before you get anything, you will encounter a big disaster, and you will be in danger, and the casualties are unpredictable and fierce. 】
