Those who follow the Tao, only with diligence can they burn a bloody path to the sky in this evil world of ghosts and monsters!
When he read this sentence in the book, Liu Hou's blood suddenly boiled for some reason.
This sentence was said impassionedly, with a high-spirited and upright attitude of fighting for mankind and the common people. As mentioned in the book, Taoist priests have indeed been like this since ancient times.
Road to Road, very Avenue.
The pedestrian avenue is named Taoist.
Thousands of years ago, before I came out of seclusion, Taoist priests already existed, walking around the world, slaying demons, exorcising evil spirits, dispelling filth, and promoting justice in the world.
During this period, many orthodox Taoist sects emerged, such as the Maoshan sect, the Longhushan sect, the Zhengyi sect, the Tianshi sect, and the Chenzhou sect, to name a few.
In order to fight against the evil things that populate the world, Taoist priests have developed many methods. For example, the Taoist practices of various sects, such as talismans, divination, and various kinds of magic tools to get rid of evil things.
The three fires Liu Hou saw on a person were the best way to distinguish the strength of a Taoist priest.
The body is endowed with the five elements of righteousness, and the mind is like a mirror of light.
It’s talking about the Taoist priest’s level of strength.
The five elements of righteousness can be judged by the three fires on a person's shoulders and head.
They are red, orange, yellow, blue and purple respectively.
Most of the three fires on ordinary people are light red, and for people with weak health, the three fires are very dim. However, through practice, Taoist priests can increase the intensity of their vitality, which is called Tao fire.
The stronger the vitality, the stronger the three fires in the body, and they can even change color.
Each type of Tao Fire can be divided into nine levels.
Take Liu Hou for example, his current vitality is about twice that of ordinary people. According to the level in the book, he can now be called a second-class red fire.
But only when you reach the sixth level of red fire, you can be considered as having touched the door of Taoism and can be awarded the crown by your own Taoist sect. That is, you are qualified to wear yellow Taoist robes and be a Taoist priest with eight serious scriptures.
As for Ni Yuefei, her body was blazing with fire, soaring into the sky. The flames had changed from red to orange. That was at least an awesome existence close to the ninth grade red fire.
With just one final kick, a body of red fire can be transformed into first-class orange fire.
When the orange fire is added to the body, it can burn all evil things in the world, and the power of Tao is greatly increased, and ordinary evil and filth cannot get close to it at all.
If you have orange fire in your body, you are a real person and respected by everyone.
Going a step further, if you have yellow fire in your body, you are honored as a refiner. Above the refiner, if the flame turns blue, you are a mage.
The purple flame is the most noble and is called the Heavenly Master.
However, these are all too far away for Liu Hou.
He is just an apprentice who has just entered the Taoist sect.
It is said that the color change of each Tao fire is a lifelong pursuit of Taoist priests, which is extremely difficult. For example, the red flame turns into orange flame, just like a poor boy in a small ravine who has not graduated from elementary school, ran to a second-tier city, and finally became a
became the richest man in that city.
Among tens of millions of people, only one person can be the richest man.
As for cultivating orange fire into yellow Tao fire, it is a legend like a fantasy. It is like a poor boy in a small ravine who did not graduate from elementary school. He actually became a civil servant and had a smooth journey, and finally became a provincial and ministerial official.
Generally incredible.
The difficulty of cultivation is evident.
The most important thing is that cultivating Taoism is not cultivating immortals. In the legend, cultivating immortals can turn the world upside down and destroy a planet with just one slap. This does not exist in real Taoism.
Practicing Taoism and tempering Taoist fire can indeed prolong life and make the body stronger. You can even use many supernatural powers that appear to be ordinary people, and your strength will be greater than ordinary people.
But everything has its own degree, and it is impossible to break the laws of physics.
The Taoist priests are not obviously that strong, and what is even more unfair is that because various evil objects can directly absorb dark energy, they are obviously much stronger than Taoist priests of the same level.
Therefore, Taoist priests need various external objects, such as talismans, peach wood swords and soul-stirring bells, to assist.
Moreover, through the description in Xuanchengzi's book, why Taoist priests have been fighting various evil things for thousands of years. It is not as simple as supporting justice, but also for themselves.
Cultivation absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the so-called spiritual energy it absorbs is dark energy. Moreover, it is very slow to absorb and refine dark energy by yourself. However, various evil objects already have ready-made and refined dark energy in their bodies.
, as long as they are eliminated, part of the energy in the body of the evil object will disperse when it dies and enter the body of the Taoist priest who eliminates the demon.
The speed of slaying demons and absorbing energy from evil objects is much faster than cultivating on your own.
Therefore, Taoist priests are also willing to practice in the world, and constantly kill monsters that harm people in the world. Otherwise, if they just rely on themselves to practice in a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, they will be nothing more than a crown of nine levels of red fire until they die.
head.
Seeing this, Liu Hou's heart moved.
Taoist priests exorcise evil spirits in order to absorb the power from the monster's body. But some geniuses have already found shortcuts. For example, the essence extractor in the secret room of Wanjiang Biological Company.
The manufacturer of that machine is unknown, but the person who built it is definitely a genius. It can extract the dark energy from the corpses of experimental animals with a high efficiency that makes Taoist priests stunned, and convert it into essence that humans can directly consume.
This highly efficient thing, although it belongs to the evil way, is really useful.
He just didn't know who made this machine, and why he secretly built the secret room and then abandoned it. Most importantly, Liu Hou guessed that Wanjiang Biological Group didn't know the existence of the secret room.
Otherwise, how could it not be used?
Listening to Master Ni Yuefei's words, Wanjiang Biology can only produce some medicines to prolong life and treat weird and complicated diseases. These medicines should be the defective essence extracted from corpses of experimental animals, and are of little use to people who practice Taoism.
, but it has miraculous effects on ordinary people.
After all, once the fire of life is replenished, your own immune system can cure many serious and minor illnesses. Vitality is also directly related to life span. The stronger the vitality, the longer you will live.
No wonder Wanjiang Biological Group, just by getting some scraps of technology from that essence extractor, was able to quickly develop into a behemoth pharmaceutical company and make a lot of money.
This made Liu Hou even more determined to never reveal the news about the essence extractor.
He is still very weak now. Once this heaven-defying machine is exposed, not only will he be in danger, but his master Ni Yuefei will also be in danger.
The crime of holding a treasure will not increase your strength just because you possess the treasure. Instead, it will make those who are unable to protect the treasure fall into a narrow escape.
Just like "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", which has repeatedly caused wars, it is just an ordinary painting when it is placed in the royal treasury. The emperor threw it into the cold palace after reading it. But if it were to be placed in the homes of ordinary people, it would be a disaster.
disaster.
Liu Hou, accompanied by Ni Yuefei, spent three days and three nights reading books in the Spring City Library.
The past three days were very fulfilling, and the two of them never left the library within 500 meters. Ni Yuefei booked a room in a nearby hotel, and when Liu Hou saw that he was hungry, she took him to eat nearby.
Liu Hou felt sleepy, so she took him back to the hotel to rest.
She was very patient, always sitting next to Liu Hou, watching him read, and answering his questions at any time.
Three days later, Liu Hou finally memorized all the books that Ni Yuefei selected for him.
Ni Yuefei is ice-smart, and although her emotional intelligence is a little flawed, her IQ is extremely high. She has been able to remember things since she was a child, so when Liu Hou read tens of thousands of pages of books in three days and basically remembered them all, Ni Yuefei didn't feel anything about the strange situation.
But Liu Hou himself was surprised at himself. He knew that he was not smart and could even be said to be a bit stupid. But this time when he read the book, he seemed to have enlightened himself and he remembered it so quickly.
There is only one reason, that ancient book.
Books are the carrier of knowledge, and they can record knowledge. After being bound to the ancient book, Liu Hou's memory was as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and his memory was improved by several levels.
It's like the god of learning possesses me, mom, I don't have to worry about my studies anymore.
After leaving the library, Liu Hou still seemed to be swimming in the ocean of knowledge, and his whole body was filled with the smell of knowledge.
While he was still savoring it, Ni Yuefei touched his head and said, "Let's go."
"where to?"
He thought the way the master, who was half a head shorter than him, tried to rub his head was cute.
"There is a commission nearby, I took it, just in time to give you some practice."
