Immortal Beast Taming Magic
Qiu Zhen took a quick glance at the biographies of immortals and their magic.
It is said that the immortal's surname was Guo and his given name was Wen Ju. He met an immortal and while practicing in the mountains, he met a tiger asking for help. He helped the tiger remove the bone from its throat and saved the tiger. The tiger was grateful and brought a deer in return. From then on, the deer often accompanied him and went in and out of the streets, attracting attention.
When the emperor heard about this magical art of taming tigers, he summoned Guo Wenju and asked him, "Sir, do you have any skills in taming tigers?"
Guo Wenju replied: "It is natural. Humans have no intention to harm animals, and animals have no intention to hurt humans. Why do we need to do anything?"
Afterwards, this immortal Guo linked "taming animals" with "governing the people" and talked about the principle of "if you caress me, I will be your follower, if you abuse me, I will be your enemy".
"It's still the Immortal Society."
Qiu Zhen took a quick look and looked a little strange.
Guo Wenju was a real master who had the "art of taming animals", but he avoided talking about the art of taming animals and talked about the highest realm of "the method of taming animals", showing off in front of the emperor.
"Learned."
Qiu Zhen had a vague understanding.
"Fellow Daoist Qingwei, do you have any chance to become an immortal?"
In [Miro Palace], the telepathic voice of Fairy Yunrou was heard.
"Yes, there is a method created by an immortal."
Qiu Zhen did not hide anything. Perhaps he had thought of something, so he smiled and said:
"Fairy Yunrou, last time you taught me a magic technique and helped me a lot, so this time I am just returning the favor."
"You want to return my magic?"
Fairy Yunrou on the opposite side was a little surprised. After thinking for a while, she smiled and said:
"I have always been clear about gratitude and resentment in my dealings with others. Fellow Daoist, I am a man of temperament. I am not a calculating person who likes to take advantage of others. The immortal traces and immortal methods you have obtained must be a fairly complete immortal method inheritance. Although the immortal method I pass on to you is also from the hands of an immortal, it is not perfect. It is just a small magic formula and cannot be changed."
After saying this, Fairy Yunrou paused and continued:
"I am obsessed with swordsmanship, so please help me keep an eye out for it. It doesn't matter if it is passed down by an immortal or not. It doesn't matter if I can't find it for the time being. I taught you the method that day to avenge the little monk, not for any utilitarian purpose."
When Qiu Zhen heard this, he was slightly surprised and had a good impression of Fairy Kundao Yunrou.
It is no wonder that a female swordsman who concentrates on the art of swordsmanship speaks and acts frankly and sincerely and has a distinct personality.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together.
The friend of the young monk Kongyin is indeed a decent person, and the way he speaks and acts is very much like a "sage of virtue".
This undoubtedly reshaped Qiu Zhen's "worldview".
He originally thought that the "immortal cultivators" who were called "evil demons" by the world would be bewitched by demons during their practice, and would inevitably be violent and ruthless. The entire world of immortal cultivation was a dark jungle full of intrigue, bloody fights, and endless struggles.
However, the young monk Kongyin, Kundao Yunrou and others let him know that there are real practitioners in the world of immortal cultivation nowadays, and it is not the case that "demons and evil spirits" are rampant and dark.
"Fellow Daoist Yun Rou, this time it's not a sword technique. I'll help you keep an eye out next time."
"It's easy to talk about."
After Qiu Zhen finished speaking, he thought of something and asked:
"Fairy Yunrou, Fellow Daoist Zhenkong, I wonder what the magical use of the blood-colored crystal transformed by the Yin Demon is?"
"Yin and Yang are one, good and evil are one. The blood-colored crystal left by the Yin Demon is the purest essence of spiritual energy. It is a great elixir for people like me who practice Taoism. Refining the essence can greatly increase our cultivation. It's a pity that the world has changed."
Isn't this a good baby?
Why can't it be used?
Qiu was really confused.
"What Fellow Daoist Yun Rou said is about the ancient cultivation world."
Monk Zhenkong murmured:
"Now that the world is changing drastically, cultivators will turn into demons and evil spirits if they are not careful. They are terrified and treading on thin ice. No one dares to refine and absorb the essence of the spiritual energy left by the demon, for fear that if they are not careful, the demon fetus will be hidden and leave a big disaster."
"Yes, this treasure is not that useful at the moment. It can only be of great use if it falls into the hands of a Taoist friend who is good at mechanical puppetry."
Fairy Yunrou shook her head, speaking with regret, and explained:
"As far as I know, in the ancient cultivation world, it was common for cultivators to refine the essence of demons' spiritual energy. I once read a miscellaneous book that recorded an immortal who deliberately did not use any magic spells or ask for the blessing of his ancestors. He deliberately exposed all his flaws and lured the demon to invade. He then used his wisdom sword to kill the demon and refined the essence of spiritual energy. His cultivation level advanced by leaps and bounds, and he enjoyed it very much. He was really fierce."
"For this reason, the immortal wrote a book specifically about how to catch demons, how to find a [cultivation site] with heavy yin energy and easy for demons to descend, how many flaws to reveal, etc. It is very detailed and tells everything about catching demons and practicing."
Fairy Yunrou spoke eloquently, her words full of envy. Compared to the cultivation world today, the cultivators back then were so lucky, they had backers, status, and many different ways to cultivate.
"My Buddha is merciful."
Monk Zhenkong couldn't help but sigh, feeling a little longing.
After listening to this, Qiu Zhen also gained a lot of insights.
Wow, the ancient cultivation world is indeed a golden age for cultivating immortals, and the way of cultivation is so wild.
Fairy Yunrou smiled and did not mention the magic more. Then she continued:
"Fellow Daoist Qingwei, you are unwilling to hurt innocent people and use your body to lure the demon. You must be a decent person who is devoted to the Tao. There are not many Taoists who uphold their beliefs in this world. Are you willing to form an alliance with us? You, me, and Shang Zhenkong can become Taoist companions who help each other and practice together?"
Qiu Zhen was slightly stunned.
In the world of cultivating immortals, a Taoist companion refers to a companion who practices and cultivates together. The so-called "husband and wife lovers" are only a small part of "Taoist companions".
The real "Dao Companion" is the "Companion" in the wealth, Dharma and land. It can be said to be a master and apprentice, a good friend, a husband and wife, a senior and a junior.
Qiu Zhen is not a person who works in isolation, so he readily agreed:
"Of course I am willing. We have been Taoist companions for a long time."
"No, it's still a little different."
Fairy Yunrou paused and continued:
"I'm talking about forming an alliance. Changle Prefecture will be in turmoil in the future. The three of us are all cultivators who cultivate their essence and qi and have cultivated the Yin God. We are at the same level and have good strength. We formed an alliance to share information in the future, be of the same spirit, help each other, and advance and retreat together. It's always better than fighting alone. Fellow Daoist Qingwei, Monk Zhenkong, what do you think?"
"My Buddha is merciful."
Monk Zhenkong chanted a Buddhist name and said with a smile:
"I have no objection."
"I have no objection either."
Qiu Zhen also agreed immediately.
Whether it is dealing with the "Master Yanshan" or the evil spirit in the mountain behind Qiujia Village this time, if he were to deal with it alone, he would be at a loss. But with Fairy Yunrou and Monk Zhenkong giving him advice, things become much simpler.
This is the power of "organization".
Before the Taoism is fully understood, it will not work to fight alone.
"Great kindness."
Fairy Yunrou was very happy:
"Then let us draw up a charter of alliance and brotherhood."
After a short while, after a discussion, the three of them finally came up with three basic covenants.
First, message sharing.
Article 2: Resource exchange.
Article 3: Fighting among staff officers.
In fact, the three of them have basically touched upon these three covenants during their time together, but this time they were established in the form of a covenant, clarifying the rights and obligations and further formalizing and organizing them.
"Finally, we have a small organization."
Qiu Zhen casually put away the [Miro Palace] jade token, feeling quite satisfied.
He had always intended to create and join a true immortal cultivation organization, and his current alliance with Fairy Yunrou and Monk Zhenkong was exactly what he wanted.
Whether it is Fairy Yunrou or Monk Zhenkong, at present, he has a good impression of both of them, and they are both like-minded people worth associating with.
Just as Qiu Zhen put away the jade token, Bai Zhu let out a howl.
Qiu Zhen was very sharp-eyed and sharp-eared. He smiled and said:
"Old Patriarch, what do you think?"
