Taoist priests outside Xibianmen

In 1877 AD, Xibianmen should be an important group of landmarks in Yanjing City.

This small artillery tower and small arrow tower, which was built during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, always made passing vehicles and people realize that the city of Yanjing under the red flag also has a profound historical accumulation. Under this crooked city tower, countless stories are buried.

Of course, with the continuous changes in national policies, the urban planning of Yanjing City is changing with each passing day. It is now 2077. Dongcheng District of Yanjing City and Xicheng District have long been merged into the core government district of China, and all the most core and highest power organs are located here.

The government has spent a lot of effort to evacuate the capital's functions, and the government district only retains two types of facilities: government buildings and green spaces. The greening rate of the entire government district exceeds 70%.

The core government district of China's capital has long been a world-renowned model of urban planning. Those who can work in this big garden are the real elites of China. Of course, except for Matthew.

Speaking of which, Matthew is also a serious national civil servant, with five insurances and one fund, guaranteed income from drought and flood, and free food and accommodation. But the unit he serves is a bit special: Baiyun Temple Management Office of Yanjing Religious Administration Bureau, with position: Deputy Chief Clerk and Guanzhu. The workplace is located in the Taoist holy place outside Xibianmen: Baiyun Temple. As the only employee of Baiyun Temple Management Office, Matthew's job responsibilities are very important: chanting scriptures, drawing talismans, and visualization.

In 2077, society has long been highly developed, and scientific and technological civilization and material civilization have already entered a new realm. Without low-level physical labor, human beings pay more attention to the development of the spiritual world, and their interests and hobbies have gradually played a leading role in career development. Human beings continue to explore the history and cultural knowledge they are interested in, and then use the latest technology to sublimate to obtain a special experience.

The music, art, competition, food, literature and other industries have repeatedly seen breakthrough results, greatly promoting social and cultural progress.

In modern history, mysticism is also a small branch. In modern society, with the advancement of science and technology, human research on nature has far exceeded the level of the past 10,000 years. Many phenomena that cannot be interpreted or explained in mysticism can be revealed through science. This shows that mysticism itself is also constantly evolving to adapt to the progress of science and technology and society.

Matthew is a hardcore occultist who likes to study the knowledge and history of all mysterious powers, including the categories of Yixue, metaphysics, magic, special abilities, psychology, witchcraft, yoga, alchemy and other various supernatural phenomena.

He is good at re-sorting, organizing and analyzing ancient knowledge according to the scientific research methods of the new era, and often get unexpected results.

It became a job to love and love. Section Chief Ma was invited to serve as the deputy chief clerk of the Baiyun Temple Management Office and also as the head of Baiyun Temple. This is also because of his outstanding achievements in research in the field of Taoist culture.

Baiyun Temple is located in the core area of ​​the capital, backed by the state power organ. As the leader of the government, he will assume the responsibility of consulting for senior officials in China. Although the future is narrow, the advantage is that he can get official support, obtain information, and the source of information is more authoritative and extensive.

Since his student days, Matthew began to widely explore the content of various schools, and his exploration footprints spread all over the world. For this reason, he specially customized the latest brain implantable research chip: mark-2077. The chip is implanted in the pineal gland of the brain as an important prop for auxiliary computing, memory, and meditation.

It was late at night, and Matthew was lying on his back and wandering around the sky. There was a book called "The Book of the High-Supreme Shenxiao Jade Qingzhen Wang Zi" on the table. The thin silk book was spread out and full of notes. In fact, all the existing Taoist collections had been stored in the chip, and "The Book of the Shenxiao Jade Qing Zi" was a Taoist classic, which Chief Ma had already memorized. It was just a personal habit to not put down the volume.

"Pony, scan my body."

Section Chief Ma opened his eyes and silently recited in his heart.

The chip directly sends sound signals to the brain nerves, and only a burst of mechanical sounds are heard:

"Drop! After the scan, everything is normal for the host"

"Matthew's Strength: 1.3, Agility: 1.4, Physical constitution: 1.5, Spirit: 1.7          Status: Healthy!"

The mysterious power of various disciplines, most of the core contents are reflected in the development of human body, whether it is ancient martial arts, Taoist secrets of health preservation, ancient yoga, Buddhist secret techniques of body refining, etc. The ultimate goal is to make people improve their physical fitness through practice until they complete a breakthrough and develop supernatural mysterious power.

After years of research and study, Matthew has experienced various secrets of body refining. His personal physique has long broken through the peak of the human body, but he is still far away from truly reaching supernatural power.

"Xiao Ma, calculate the effectiveness of the "Taishang Sensing Method".

Chief Ma, who closed his eyes and rested, was actually meditating in reference to the "Taishang Sensation Method".

"Did, after testing, the "Taishang Sensing Method" can slightly stimulate the host's spirit and physical fitness. It is expected that the host's spirit and physical fitness can be improved after 1,300 practices."

"Not bad! I found another effective classic, Xiao Ma, analyzed the information on the effect of body refining in "Taishang Sensing Method" and integrated the information into the "Body Refining Book""

The so-called "Body Refining Book" is the ultimate achievement of Chief Ma's years of research on mysticism. Through in-depth analysis of various body-healing exercises, physical medicines, and medical care methods that can promote the improvement of the human body, the core elements and reaction principles that can truly act on the human body, and the control function of auxiliary chips on the human body is directly used to refine the body.

After that, the various results are refined and integrated, and the final product is "Body Refining Book". From the most scientific perspective, do the most core screening, select the broadest samples, and use your own body to experiment. The final results can be imagined.

"Did! Refining the effective factor of "Taishang Sensing Method": 0.37, removing the repetitive factor, and finally combining it into the "Body Refining Book": 0.03, and it is expected to improve the effect of "Body Refining Book": 0.07%, and it takes time: 17 hours and 29 minutes."

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step! How can a thousand miles be achieved without accumulating small steps? From quantitative change to qualitative change lies in the accumulation of this little bit by bit.

Matthew sat up and let out a long sigh. He picked up the "Shenxiao Yuqing Purple Book" on the table to read it.

"Oh, I'll lead thunder into my body, engrave the Shenxiao rune in Niwan Palace, and visualize the inscription of the thunder beast Kui Niu in Lingtai Tian Palace, which arouses the resonance between the spirit and the body until I refine my spiritual consciousness. I think I, Matthew, is very knowledgeable, and such a desperate practice method is really under a lot of pressure."

"Shenxiao Yuqing Purple Book" provides a new way of cultivation, using external lightning as energy, using runes and visualizations to promote the resonance between the body and the spirit. However, the theoretical basis of this method is unclear and the risks are really impossible to evaluate. Even if it is as strong as Matthew, even if he is fully prepared, he will not dare to try it easily.

"I just decided that tomorrow night, when the soul is the most powerful, try to practice "Shenxiao Yuqing Purple Book"! Xiaoma, come on! I've tried this for many years!"
Chapter completed!
