Celestial Immortal Chapter 714

   "Brother, it's Wang Ping and the others."

  Little Guizai was quite excited and pointed at the crowd not far away.

  Outside the temporary dojo, a group of three rushed towards Chu Chen excitedly, their expressions quite excited. The visitors were none other than Wang Ping, little monk Yuantong, and Lin Miaoyin, former friends and colleagues from Guangping County, Qingzhou.

   "Why didn't you inform me in advance when you came to Yunzhou, so that I can clean up the dust for you all."

Chu Chen was not surprised that Wang Ping, the little monk Yuantong, and Lin Miaoyin appeared in Yunzhou. His master, Daoist Xu Ping, had told him earlier that these former friends of his were planning to transfer to Bianhuangzhou County. reunion.

  However, seeing his old friend in Wanquan County, Chu Chen was still quite happy and excited, and walked forward in three steps in two steps.

   "Brother Chu, is it an accident? Hahahaha~"

Wang Ping was quick-witted and unrestrained, and when he saw Chu Chen, he looked like a man in the army instead of a Taoist monk. The two hugged each other, looked at the little devil, and took out a handful of incense. handed it over.

   "Little ghost, do you miss Senior Brother Wang?" "Yes! Senior Brother Wang is mighty!"

  When the little ghost boy saw Lingxiang, his eyes lit up immediately, and he nodded without hesitation. He didn't have the slightest awareness of being a fifth-rank monk, and wanted to kowtow to thank him after holding Lingxiang.

   "Don't, don't, kid, Brother Wang, I can't bear it, I can't bear it."

  Wang Ping was shocked when he saw this, he could have the cheek to tell the little ghost to call "Senior Brother Wang", but right now he dare not accept the little ghost's kowtow.

  In the world of practice, those who have achieved it come first.

  He has just broken through to the sixth-grade Taoism not long ago, and the ear-reporting fairy boy of the fifth-grade cultivation is a well-deserved senior. The order of seniority and inferiority cannot be messed up.

   "Hahaha~"

  Chu Chen, the little monk Yuantong, and Lin Miaoyin saw the "sheniu" Wang Ping being subdued by the innocent little ghost, and the three of them smiled knowingly, as if the time had returned to the old days when they worked together in Guangping County.

   "Brother Chu (Chu Daoyou

  Lin Miaoyin and the little monk Yuantong seemed much more reserved, one bowed slightly, the other pinched a Buddhist bead and bowed with one hand.

  Chu Chen returned the gifts one by one, his face was full of joy, and introduced Hu Dali and his apprentice Chu Baiqing to his former friends.

   "I have met all the masters."

The three of them couldn't see the little white dragon Chu Baiqing's heels, it was nothing new, they just simply liked this little guy carved in powder and jade. . "Brother Wang, Youyuan Daoist, Miaoyin, I heard from my master that you will be transferred, and I finally expect you to come. When will you come to Yunzhou?"

   "I just arrived yesterday, and I took the Xianting Grain Transport Airship"

  It was still early, and there was still a long time before the rain prayer session began, so Chu Chen took the three of them to a roadside pavilion in the distance to sit down.

  The four of them hadn't seen each other for more than three years. The group of four exchanged pleasantries, as if there were endless things to talk about. They not only recalled the past, but also talked about where they went after arriving in Bianhuangzhou County.

   Coincidentally, Wang Ping, the little monk Yuantong, and Lin Miaoyin also transferred to the Wanquan County Ghost and God Department, the vice president of Renyuan.

  Of course, there is also a difference between the deputy director of the County Ghost and God Department.

  Wang Ping and Lin Miaoyin are from the sixth-rank immortal officials, and they are the vice presidents of a certain hospital in Wanquan County.

  The little monk Yuantong is a sixth-rank immortal official, sent to a place, permanently stationed in a sub-division of ghosts and gods in a certain city under the jurisdiction of Wanquan County, assisting the deputy governor of the county, in charge of a city's ghosts and gods, and has a prominent position.

  Through the conversation, Chu Chen learned that in addition to Wang Ping, the little monk Yuantong, and Lin Miaoyin who had been transferred to Yunzhou, Qian Sangua also came.

  However, he was transferred to Yuqin County, where Daoist Xu Ping was located, and served as the deputy director of a certain courtyard of the County Ghost and God Department, and he was a sixth-rank immortal.

  However, no matter whether it is the little monk Yuantong and Qian Sangua from the sixth rank, or Wang Ping and Lin Miaoyin from the sixth rank, they are no longer the little monks of the past. Chu Chen was not surprised by Qian Sangua, Little Monk Yuantong, and Wang Ping's cultivation and immortality.

  Qian Sangua and the little monk Yuantong are good friends he met when he was the county governor's counselor. The two of them have high levels of Taoism and good talents. They broke through the sixth-grade Taoism two years ago.

  In Qingzhou as a

  Prince Immortals have been working for nearly two and a half years. They have made remarkable progress in Taoism and practice, and have made a lot of contributions. They are worthy of training.

  Wang Ping broke through to the sixth rank, and Chu Chen was not surprised. The only thing that surprised him was that Lin Miaoyin also broke through the sixth rank.

   If he remembers correctly, Lin Miaoyin had just broken through to the seventh rank three years ago. She never expected that she would improve so fast in the past two or three years.

   "Junior Sister Miaoyin, in the past two or three years, you have accumulated a lot of money and made great progress in your cultivation, which is really impressive." Chu Chen joked with a smile.

  Lin Miaoyin was delighted to hear Chu Chen's praise, but also a little embarrassed:

   "Senior Brother Chu, I am far behind you and Yinger. I heard Yinger say a few days ago that you are now a late-stage fifth-rank Taoist. We can't match you."

   "Junior Sister Miaoyin said so."

  Wang Ping nodded repeatedly when he heard the words, quite embarrassed. His cultivation speed is not slow, which is almost the same as that of his senior brothers. However, he met a group of fierce men in Guangping County.

  Among them, Chu Chen is the most vicious.

He had inquired in advance, and now his old friend is now a fifth-rank official. In addition to being the head of Wanquan Taoist Academy, he is also the supervisor of Wanquan, in charge of the supervision department of Wanquan. class.

   "Brother Chu, when others praise us for our great progress, we think it's a compliment, but when you praise us, I always feel that you are being sarcastic."

  Chu Chen: "-." "Hahahaha~"

  Wang Ping was quick-witted, good at dancing with long sleeves, some gags, and the four of them chatted happily, diluting the strangeness they hadn't seen for many years, downplaying their Taoism and status, and it seemed to have returned to the days when they worked together in Guangping County.

  However, the Rain Prayer Ceremony in Wanquan County is about to be held. After the county governor Qi Xiuxin, the county governor Tongda Master and others arrived, the four of them ended their greetings and devoted themselves to the arrangement of the rain prayer ceremony.

  Especially Wang Ping, Monk Yuantong, and Lin Miaoyin, who had just come to Wanquan County to report, were cautious, for fear of leaving a bad impression on Master Duguan Tongda.

  Chu Chen was much more casual, and with a flick of his figure, he greeted him.

This time there are a large number of teams, and the leaders are not Wanquan County Governor Qi Xiuxin, the county governor Tongda Master, Wanquan City God, but Yunzhou Ghost and God Division Chief Taihe Taoist and Yunzhou Daoyuan Mountain Changqing There are two bamboo laymen. In addition, there are also a group of envoys from the imperial court and fairy court to accompany him. Among them, there are many monks with great supernatural powers that Chu Chen does not know, and the lineup is extremely powerful.

  The reason why Yunzhou attaches so much importance to Wanquan County is also very simple.

  The birthplace of the innate **** Xiaobailong is in Wanquan County. In other words, the "source" of this natural disaster is Wanquan County.

  The situation of praying for rain in Wanquan County reflects the overall disaster situation of the eight states in the southwest to some extent.

  Chu Chen has a very good relationship with Layman Qingzhu, and had met Taoist Taoist Guan Taihe a few days ago.

  Both of them recognized Chu Chen and nodded to him one after another, but neither of them stopped to talk with him, but greeted matters related to praying for rain on the field, and acted vigorously.

  Chu Chen was not surprised, and slowly followed behind the county guard Qi Xiuxin and Master Tongda. The matter of praying for rain and rituals has been arranged by all parties in advance.

  Wherever you pray for rain, set up an altar in a clean and remote place with grass and trees. The layout of the praying rain field is also very particular.

Use a ceiling, one foot five feet high, four square pillars one foot wide, one ladder, ten new tables, one new chair, one cup, one bell, one large square incense burner, one small square incense burner, and five vases. , A pair of lanterns. What offerings such as fruit offerings, laying tea, incense candles, **** cards, raw dragon slices, mica slices, gold ink, white rooster, etc.

   When the group arrived in mighty force, the Rain Prayer Dojo had already been set up.

  After Taoist Taoist Taihe, the governor of Yunzhou, nodded, Qi Xiuxin, the governor of the county, and Master Tongda, the governor of the county, began to preside over the rain praying ceremony.

Qi Xiuxin, the governor of the county, and Master Tongda, the governor of the county, are in charge of one side of yin and yang, and they are secretly connected with the luck of the county. In a sense, they represent the will of one party's living beings. world.

  Master Qi Xiuxin and Master Tongda got the order, did not dare to delay, quickly made a formula, recited the "Pray for rain and climb the altar mantra", and strode towards the high altar.

   "Praying for rain mandala, view from above

   Hehe, look down at the towering tower, I am here now, guarded by the golden light, guarded by the five qi Luoguo, followed by the murderous eye, hurry to the law! "

  After boarding the Dharma altar, under the leadership of the two, the monks in the Dharma field began to recite the [Mouth Purification Mantra], [Body Purification Mantra], [Heart Purification Mantra], [Spiritual Land Purification Mantra], etc.

  These mantras are compulsory for beginners of Taoism. Although they are simple, they are very useful.

  Whether it's daily gathering of medicines to refine qi, or fast rituals, these mantras must be recited beforehand.

  Even Taihe Taoist, Qingzhu Layman and other immortal monks with great supernatural powers were no exception. They recited mantras one by one, and the whole rain praying ashram became extremely quiet and solemn.

  In addition to the whispered sound of spells, there is only the sound of whistling wind.

   "The Doctrine of the Mean-Small Notes" says, if my heart is upright, the mind of the heaven and the earth will also be upright, and if my qi is in order, then the qi of the world will also be in order.

   These words are also the most reasonable in terms of the method of praying for rain.

  About the true method of praying for rain, you must first have a righteous heart, and then you can be in harmony with the heart of heaven.

   After Qi Xiuxin and Master Tongda finished reciting the [Pure Land Mantra], they lit the incense again.

  【The Way is learned from the heart, the false incense is passed on from the heart, the incense is burned in the jade furnace, the heart is kept in front of the emperor, the true spirit looks down, the gods shine in the court, make my heart, learn from my heart, what I pray for, and what I pray for is as promised】

  After the 【Blessing Fragrance Mantra】, Master Qi Xiuxin and Master Tongda began to pray again, flying chapters on the table, and offering sacrifices to heaven and earth: "The universe shakes the east of Wuchi, the saint at the bottom of the sky leaves green grass, and the rain in Kanxia Palace is not alone"

After reciting some Liqing poems, Qi Xiuxin and Master Tongda began to represent Wanquan County's human race, ghosts and gods, natives from all over the world, and all the hundreds of millions Creatures, cry to the sky that the local creatures have encountered unwarranted disasters, and pray sincerely.

Afterwards, Taoist Taoist Guan Taihe, the capital of Yunzhou, also boarded the altar, representing hundreds of millions of souls in Yunzhou, to present the memorandum, stating the cause and effect of the fall of the innate **** Xiaobailong, and analyzing the reasons for the fall of the innate **** Xiaobailong, in order to pray for the release of the heavenly net. one side.

  Afterwards, he ordered the human race, demon race and various indigenous creatures in Wanquan County to climb to the altar and offer tribute to appease the world..

  After a complicated and solemn fast, Master Qi Xiuxin and Master Tongda showed their magical powers and began to pray for rain.

  Both of them know the art of praying for rain, but it doesn't work. If there is no catastrophe, they are expected to succeed in praying for rain. But right now it's unusual, they tried it, but there was no movement.

  Yunzhou Metropolitan Guan Taihe Taoist waved his hands to let the two come down, and he went up to the stage himself.

  This time, the reason why other state governors came here in person was naturally to pray for rain, and did not pin their hopes on Master Tongda and others.

  The practice of the monk with great supernatural powers was quite a sensation.

  He presses the star of rain, dew and qi, steps on the steps of the gangster, recites the mantra of all truths in the world, the talisman of making clouds and rain, the formula of pinching clouds, dragons, wind and tigers, issuing the disc of Jiazi Chenshi, and mastering the power to drive away thunder and electricity

   After some practice, the whole dojo was suddenly gusted by strong winds, and the sea of ​​clouds and thunder was everywhere in the sky, and the sultry and dry air vaguely became humid.

  As the saying goes, the outside door looks at the excitement, and the inside door looks at the doorway.

  As soon as he saw this scene, Chu Chen understood that Taoist Taihe's supernatural power of praying for rain is quite good, and his skill is profound. Generally speaking, there are two types of supernatural powers for praying for rain.

  One is to summon and drive the dragon **** and water **** to make rain. The second type is based on Leifa.

Lei Fa Qiuyu emphasizes its own function, and regards one's own body as a small world. The energy of the five internal organs in the body and the energy of the five elements of the outside world interact with each other. The lower dantian of oneself is called "Bitan", and the Yuan Qi is transported to the Niwan, which is to absorb Bitan. The water on the Tianhe River.

  Once the hearts of the people and the heart of the sky are in harmony, the water of the Tianhe River can be drawn and the rain can fall.

  The [praying for rain] supernatural power displayed by the Taoist Taihe right now is the latter, and what he uses is the serious thunder method of praying for rain.

  The state capital Guan Taihe Taoist's thunder method is extremely amazing, the situation changes, the sky and the earth respond, there is a faint tendency to connect the sky.

  However, it didn't work.

  Though the thunder was loud, there was still no rain falling.

   Taoist Taihe was not surprised when he saw this, and he was not discouraged. He stood on the altar, stepped on the gangster step again and again, operated the thunder method, looked at the rain talisman, and tried his best to use his supernatural powers to pray for rain.

  However, things backfired. Taoist Taihe exhausted his mana, his consciousness was weak, and there was no rain

   Lowered.

   Immediately afterwards, Layman Qingzhu, the head of the prefectural Taoist Academy, took over from Taoist Taihe and continued to perform magical powers of praying for rain.

   Layman Qingzhu's [praying for rain] supernatural power is to think of his own soul to drive dragons into the sea. If there is no obstruction from heaven, he will really be able to travel around the world with his soul and drive dragons to rain.

  Xu Shi's [Praying for Rain] has different supernatural powers, and Lay Qingzhu didn't cause much commotion.

  However, Chu Chen's spiritual consciousness is strong, and he vaguely felt a strong and violent fluctuation of spiritual consciousness in Layman Qingzhu, as if Layman Qingzhu was fighting something.

   Silent, yet very intense.

  After about half a stick of incense, Layman Qingzhu woke up leisurely, with a muffled grunt and a sluggish expression. "Failed again!"

  In the Qiyu dojo, when everyone saw this scene, although they didn't say anything depressing, they cried out in their hearts, feeling very depressed.

   Layman Qingzhu came down slowly, and soon, another monk with great supernatural powers from Xianting came to the altar and continued to pray for rain. This is a battle against the sky after failing to appease the heaven and the earth, seeking a "sliver of life" under natural disasters. The little ghost boy couldn't help asking when he saw people in the rain praying dojo constantly failing to pray for rain.

   "Brother, when shall we go up?"
