Chapter 336
Whether Yin Meng and the others have the talent for Taoism is a difficult question to judge, but there is a high probability that they do.
Especially Du Yi and Yin Meng, among whom Du Yi has the most amazing talent. Whether it is extracting spiritual energy, practicing magic, or actual combat, he is the best choice.
If Zhou Yuan had not cheated during the Xinyuan Spirit Test, he would have only passed the B-level, but Du Yi was the first-level talent.
The same is true for Yin Meng. Although he looks a bit honest, he can practice the Earth Derivation Technique while practicing Qi and achieve the Stone Bone River Vein.
Even if this aptitude and understanding is not the best choice, it is also the middle-to-upper aptitude.
By analogy, the peers who can get along with them must have some strength, and their character should also be enthusiastic and motivated, otherwise there will be no common language.
In general, these people have the possibility of taking on the Taoist profession. As for whether they can achieve something in the future, it depends on how well they fit in with the Qingyuan Dan method.
Therefore, Zhou Yuan introduced the two methods and four techniques and the three special skills of Qingyuan that he could teach to them.
Who would have thought that it would have been better if they hadn't been introduced? As soon as they were introduced, they all wanted to bow down.
It was nothing else, the Qingling that reduced consumption and increased power, the Dao Yun that improved the understanding of Taoism, the Qingyuan Heart Sutra that could regulate the breath and return to the essence to increase the power of Taoism, and the Qingyuan Void Pill that could store spiritual energy were simply too perfect.
These effects were complementary at first glance, and after they all achieved something, they would definitely be able to consolidate the foundation of Taoism and improve their strength.
In comparison, the difficult-to-enter martial arts sect was much less impressive, and at their age, there was not much pressure to switch from the path of a martial general to the method of a Taoist general.
"Brother Zhou, please accept my greetings. The Earth Derivation Technique is also a kind of Taoism. I was able to learn this technique probably because I had some understanding.
Please help me, Brother Zhou, so that I can get on the right path as soon as possible."
In fact, whether it was Yin Meng's Earth Derivation Technique or Du Yi's Tianyisheng Water Technique, they were more or less related to Taoism.
If the two of them could walk this path, they would probably be able to grow smoothly as Taoist priests.
The reason why they didn't choose the path of Taoism at the beginning was because the entry requirements of Qingyuan Dao were a bit harsh. If they didn't become monks for Taoism, it would not be worthwhile to stick to the Taoist Eight Curses.
For this reason, facing Yin Meng's study, Zhou Yuan accepted him as a disciple with the right to preach, and gave him the Qingyuan Heart Sutra with the right to pass on the law.
"Hahaha..., thank you for the Dharma, Master. I will practice diligently in the future and live up to the reputation of Qingyuan Dao."
Seeing that Yin Meng joined Qingyuan Dao with his daring and straightforwardness, and enjoyed the blessing of the Qingyuan Three Magical Arts, the other people could no longer be reserved.
They all worshiped sincerely and wanted to join Qingyuan Dao to learn.
Zhou Yuan did not refuse. After accepting them as disciples, he said that they could regret it halfway.
"I can dismiss the disciples at any time, and there will be no other losses except forgetting the Qingyuan Three Magical Arts."
Zhou Yuan said it very well, but Du Yi and others didn't think so.
They valued the Qingling magic that reduced consumption and increased power, and the Daoyun magic that increased the understanding of Taoism.
Without the blessing of these two magics, the meaning of practicing Qingyuan Taoism would be lost.
Therefore, they all made a promise that if they could comprehend Taoism, they would practice Taoism wholeheartedly.
After telling them to go back to the mansion to report their fathers and brothers to the island and wait for the imperial court's transfer order, Zhou Yuan found a pen and ink and wrote three letters.
One of them was to Zhang Shun, the governor of Huaizhou, and wrote a letter of respect to the younger generation.
"Yuan has not failed the governor's expectations, and I am fortunate to have made more merits and slightly promoted the reputation of Huaizhou Army.
However, I have been ordered to return recently. I will drink with the governor and listen to his teachings during the Water Moon Festival on August 15th."
The second letter was to Jiang Ren, the lieutenant of Jing'an, saying that merits are expected.
"General, you are well. Everything has gone well since Yuan came to Beijing. I wanted to bring Rong back home to visit him, but I was too busy with work to have a good opportunity.
Recently, I have had a chance to be ordered by the emperor to supervise a region. However, I have been in the army for a short time and have little knowledge. If the general does not mind the hardship overseas, you can come to Beijing to meet and plan for the island country together."
The third letter was to Cai Cheng, the Sima of the Jing'an Army, recording the friendship between comrades.
"I don't know if Brother Cai is well after not seeing you for many months. The events of our joint expedition to the secret realm are still fresh in our minds. I think Brother Cai must be still as powerful as ever.
I remember Brother Cai once joked before we parted that he was tired and didn't need help. Today, when I write this letter, Yuan has some power, but he has not forgotten the righteousness of his comrades.
If Brother Cai still has the will to fight, you can go to the capital through the Huaizhou camp. I can recommend you to study in the Yulin camp. Whether you have the opportunity to become a warrior or not, you will definitely have a strong career when you are sent down."
Except for these three letters, he stopped sending letters to other old friends. It's not that he is not loyal, but that most of his old friends are civilians. If he forces them to go to the military, they may not enjoy their lives.
Even if Cai Cheng is so brave in the army, he will not use him. He only promises him the opportunity to study so that he can avoid the war on the island.
As for those generals with whom he has a shallow relationship, there is no need to say more. It's time for them to contact Zhou Yuan, not for Zhou Yuan to contact them one by one to take care of their friendship.
If nothing unexpected happens, when his three letters are delivered to the local area, the generals who had friendship with him in the past will know that he has not forgotten the old friendship and will take the initiative to send letters in the name of congratulations.
In this way, the Huaizhou army will spread his name again and regard him as one of the pillars of the Huaizhou soldiers in Beijing.
When Zhou Yuan sent the letter through the Nine Ministers, several young kings of the Hengjiang Water Tribe were not idle.
After discussing for a long time, they believed that even if they could not capture the city of Wuyoudi, they could suppress the living space of the people of Wuyoudi by force.
This would prompt them to voluntarily withdraw from Wuyoudi and then weaken the expansion speed of Wuyoudi.
But this idea did not work in the end, because Zhou Yuan's purple dragon incarnation opened the gate of the water palace again, allowing them to see the price of forcefully attacking Wuyoudi.
Although Gaiyuan City was a bit strange, it was still a normal city structure. Now there is a Taoist temple in the city.
The plaque on the gate reads "Miao Dao Qingyuan", and the couplets on the left and right read "Repel the demon dragon and promote the name of Qingyuan Dao, protect a land and show the virtue of Miao Fa".
Several young princes of the water tribe have also heard of the name of Qingyuan Dao.
Thinking back to the three Taoists who appeared during the second counterattack of the human race, they roughly understood the cause and effect.
"It's bad. If every time we attack, a certain human sect will appear, it will probably help Wuyou become stronger."
"Not only that, if we attack Wuyou again at this time, I'm afraid Qingyuan Dao will also join the battle. Not only will it be difficult to succeed, but we will also be at risk of injury."
No matter how arrogant the young prince of the dragon clan is, he knows that it is better to avoid opponents of the level of Daomai Zhenren.
They have good combat power and are good at healing themselves. They are extremely difficult opponents.
Several young princes see the pros and cons of attacking, but the King of Chu sees the extension of Wei's power.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Qingyuan Taoist of Wei will definitely have the right of passage to the branch, and perhaps it won't be long before they try to control the country of Yidao.
"I don't want to go around in circles and achieve nothing, while the State of Wei stays out of the matter but unexpectedly benefits from the attack of the water tribe.
But fortune and disaster go hand in hand. The country of Yidao has some strength, and the risk of bordering Wuyou is unknown. You should waste time here.
The two surrounding islands are smaller but purer, and should be the land of the king of the Great Chu."
