Chapter 41: Fundamental Great Mantra

Fundamental Great Mantra

Not to mention how Tianlu acted here, Ruan Ci had been carefree for the past ten days. After returning from the Purple Void Cave Illumination Heaven, except for sending people to Junping Mansion to say hello, she spent her days cultivating. She learned many spell methods and was practicing them interestingly. She also broke open the Qiankun bags of the two assassins, picked out the items, put the ones she recognized in one place, and piled the ones she didn't recognize in a room and locked them up, sticking many sealing talismans on them, which was considered practicing the spells Tianlu taught her, and also consumed some of the cinnabar talisman paper from the monthly stipend.

At Spirit Valley Peak, because Ruan Ci sent someone to ask when the talisman class would start, they sent more cinnabar. Ruan Ci also wanted to ask Spirit Valley Peak for some talisman classics to read because the talisman class was not open this year, but was stopped by He Tong, who said, "Miss, you don't know, the rules of the classics and cultivation techniques in the sect are not to be passed on privately. If you want to learn, you can ask Steward Feng for advice, but the public classics cannot be given."

Li Ji also said, "Although talismans are just a small matter, the aftermath of the assassination has not yet dissipated, and I am afraid that all parties are looking at it. Miss, it is better to have one less thing than one more thing."

Ruan Ci could now use spiritual power to activate jade slip classics, and was originally very fresh, thinking about finding some jade slips to read. In Junping Mansion, the room was full of jade slips, but she couldn't read any of them, and could only read books, which she had always regretted. She thought that cultivation techniques couldn't be read, and daily talismans were just small ways, so she could learn to write them to her heart's content. Unexpectedly, there was this concern, so she had to give up. Tianlu taught ten kinds of talismans, all of which were needed for daily use. She spent a lot of time giving them to the servants, and also watched them use them. She also forced Li Tong to install a Lightness Talisman, asking him to jump high and low. This could only be tried outside the cave abode. Li Tong was very timid, and his face was terrified every time he approached the wild forest. Ruan Ci couldn't help but laugh at his timidity, and they talked and laughed, and they became familiar with each other.

This was just a trivial matter, and a lot of time was still used for cultivation. She brought back a bag of spiritual food from the Purple Void Heaven, all spiritual rice, which could be eaten after adding spiritual spring and boiling. The rice was fragrant, and except for the single taste, it was the simplest spiritual food to make. Now that someone was in charge of meals, Ruan Ci didn't restrain her appetite much, just pondering that the taste was a bit monotonous, still not as good as the spiritual beast meat jerky Lin Ji gave her.

She ate spiritual rice, and her strength was even greater. She felt that she wouldn't be tired even if she used all twelve hours of the day to cultivate. The spiritual power transmitted by the Donghua Sword was pure and incomparable. Ruan Ci used eight hours a day to work, one hour to write talismans, three hours to contemplate the sword intent diagram and communicate with the Donghua Sword, and five hours to absorb spiritual energy to fill the Jade Pool, and she was still energetic. According to He Tong, there were elders in his family who passed down cultivation techniques, but the maximum daily work was two hours, and his heart would be exhausted. Like Ruan Ci, who worked eight hours a day, she was rare even in the Profound Heaven Sect.

Who doesn't like to be praised? Ruan Ci was not without pride, but she threw it away after being happy for a while. Her Jade Pool was so vast, even if she worked so hard, after half a month, the water only grew a thread that was invisible to the naked eye. If there was no Intent Cultivation technique, she could only be more diligent. Otherwise, the big realm would be thrown off sooner or later. If the foundation was solid, if she was one step slower, every step would be slower, and she couldn't rely on the Donghua Sword for everything. Moreover, she had to guard against the Intent Cultivation technique not being able to be used again, and she could only switch to Tool Cultivation, and honestly improve her work, so she didn't dare to waste time.

On this day, after finishing breakfast, just as she was about to turn into the quiet room, she suddenly heard the sound of flying car wheels, and Tianlu drove the car to the edge of the cliff, jumped down from the air, held Ruan Ci's hand, and cried in panic, "Little Ci, what should I do? I didn't handle the errand well, and the True Person is going to be angry with me."

Ruan Ci was confused, hurriedly brought Tianlu into the house to ask carefully, and learned that Tianlu failed to understand the master's will and taught the wrong mantra. She couldn't help but laugh and cry, hurriedly saying, "The True Person is the Venerable of the Cave Heaven, looking down on the dust, and he should know better than you look at yourself, and he should know how to order you to do things. It was he who didn't order well, how can he blame you?"

This crooked logic made Tianlu confused, and he sobbed and slowed down for a long time before saying, "I don't think this is the reason..."

But no matter what, his mood was relieved a lot. He wiped his tears and hurriedly wanted to teach the Four Great Mantras to Ruan Ci, and blamed himself, "I really failed the True Person's expectations. All cultivators must immediately cultivate the Four Great Fundamental Mantras after opening their meridians. How could I forget it?"

It turned out that these four mantras were mantras that almost all cultivators must learn, so they were also called the Four Great Fundamental Mantras. Tianlu said, "These four mantras are the Heart-Cleansing God Mantra, Mouth-Cleansing God Mantra, Body-Cleansing God Mantra, and Heaven and Earth-Cleansing God Mantra. Each mantra has wonderful uses. For example, the Heart-Cleansing God Mantra can calm oneself, eliminate distracting thoughts, and avoid one's own thoughts from flowing out and being captured by heavenly demons. This mantra is fine in the Langhuan Zhou Tian, but if it is in the Great Heaven, if you cannot hold the mantra, it is equivalent to treating yourself as the nourishment of heavenly demons, which is the most important mantra. Some mortals, whose thoughts are captured by cultivators at will, are like being able to read minds, because they don't hold the mantra."

Tianlu was a person of the Purple Void Cave Illumination Heaven, and it could be seen that the True Person was quite fond of him. Since he was allowed to take care of Ruan Ci, he should also know about the Donghua Sword. Ruan Ci didn't hide it from him, and laughed casually, "Then I don't need to cultivate this mantra. I have divine objects to suppress it, and others can't see my thoughts anyway."

Tianlu widened his eyes and said, "It's not like this. Although the Green Sword is a spiritual treasure of the Great Dao of Life, it is now incomplete. If it comes to power, it is only at the Cave Heaven level. When it comes to calming the energy, making the Sword Envoy unable to calculate, this point is enough to cover the spiritual sense of the Cave Heaven True Person, but for the covering of the Sword Envoy's thoughts, it is not so perfect. If you don't reach the side of the Cave Heaven True Person in your life, and stay far away, it's fine. If you are not in front of him, plus the Green Sword covering it, it is indeed not easy to check your thoughts. But like Miss Ci, who wants to come and go in the Profound Heaven Sect and accompany the True Person, if you don't hold the Heart-Cleansing God Mantra, in front of the True Person who has cultivated the sensing method, your thoughts will still occasionally leak out and be sensed and captured by the True Person."

Ruan Ci's smile froze, and she recalled the conversation from half a month ago carefully. Her scalp felt like it was going to explode. She still held a glimmer of hope and asked, "Then Wang True Person..."

Tianlu blinked and smiled, "The True Person has cultivated a "Supreme Sensing Chapter", which is a supreme cultivation technique in the Dao sect that can be compared with the "Heavenly Demon Formless Sensing Method". The sensing is naturally extraordinary."

Ruan Ci screamed, fell on the bed, and kicked her hands and feet, shouting, "No wonder Wang True Person... Is the True Person drinking tea when he is angry? Woo woo woo... I also said in my heart why is he drinking..."

She was talking nonsense, and Tianlu didn't hear it clearly, just smiled, "What? Will the True Person drink tea when he is angry? Not necessarily, the True Person often drinks tea when talking to me."

He thought for a while, and gradually panicked, "Doesn't this mean that I often make the True Person angry?! Miss Ci, is what you just said true?"

Ruan Ci was speechless, looked at Tianlu for a while, shook her head and said, "I'm talking nonsense, don't take it to heart."

Tianlu felt relieved again, smiled, "That's good, then does Miss Ci want to learn the Heart-Cleansing Mantra? Or is it clear and bright, and it doesn't matter if your thoughts leak?"

If she was sent by the Sect Master, Wang True Person had to teach her. Tianlu's background behind his back, really didn't know how hard it was, to be accepted as a personal boy by Wang True Person. Ruan Ci glanced at Tianlu, he was still unaware, and was still very enthusiastic about teaching Ruan Ci how to hold the heart and thoughts.

This Heart-Cleansing God Mantra, all Dao practitioners must cultivate, so it was naturally not difficult. Ruan Ci also had great talent in holding the mantra. She learned it as soon as she learned it. This was probably because she had been pondering the Clear and Dust-Avoiding Sutra for the first ten years of her life. Now looking back, that sutra only taught a Clear and Dust-Avoiding Mantra, which fell on the wooden talisman, and it was a Clear and Dust-Avoiding Talisman. As long as you cultivate a little after opening your meridians, any stinky fish and shrimp cultivator can draw it, which is not rare at all. And in the Song Guo, countless good materials and good talents were all competing to cultivate. From the perspective of a cultivator, it was truly absurd and pitiful, and it was no wonder that Liu Jizi said it was a pity.

After learning the Heart-Cleansing Mantra, she learned the Mouth-Cleansing Mantra. This Mouth-Cleansing Mantra is to let the words spoken from the mouth avoid cause and effect as much as possible, and also let one's own true name get protection. Tianlu said, "Words have spirits, and the Dao ancestor's words follow the law, even the Cave Heaven ancestor has many such supernatural powers. The Mouth-Cleansing Mantra is to add a layer of protection to the language spoken by the cultivator, so that these words will not easily trigger the sensing of others, or the connection of cause and effect between heaven and earth. In addition, it can also protect one's own true name and not let others pass it on. The simplest truth is, I tell you now, my name is Wang Tianlu, you try to pass it on to the servants."

Ruan Ci really called Li Ji over, pointed at Tianlu and said, "This is, this is..."

She repeated it several times, only feeling that in the dark, there was always a force that made her unable to say it, and could only barely say, "This is Brother Tianlu, who will come to walk often in the future, you guys also get to know each other."

After sending Li Ji away, Tianlu said, "This is the power of the Mouth-Cleansing Mantra. After all, the true name is the most fundamental representation of a cultivator. From the moment you are born, your parents will give you a name. Only with a name can you have communication with the energy of heaven and earth, which is considered your true arrival in this world. If there is no name, it is like those wild demon cultivators. Before having a name, which one is not ignorant and the divine wisdom is not opened?"

"Once you know the true name, for a cultivator with supernatural powers, it is like mastering your life and even your soul. Why is the sect jade book a heavy treasure of the Dao system? It is because the true name of the disciple is recorded on the jade book. The Sect Master's pen can defile the name. If the supernatural power arrives, with one pen, you will have no name in this world. Like that year, Xie..."

Although he was young and his temperament was very green, his knowledge was very broad, and he seemed to know the sect's secrets like the back of his hand. Ruan Ci widened her eyes, listening intently, and Tianlu didn't go down again. Ruan Ci grinded for a long time, and Tianlu said, "I can only say, if the name was not defiled, with Xie Nie's aptitude, she should have entered the Cave Heaven long ago, and would never be trapped in the Nascent Soul and unable to advance. She and the True Person entered the sect almost at the same time... Ouch!"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but scream in pain, blaming himself, "Why did I leak it again!"

Ruan Ci's eyes flowed, and she had already thought of many things in an instant. Although this Wang True Person had a high seniority and was Xie Yanhuan's little martial uncle, the time he entered the sect didn't seem to be very long, and he was not the old monster who had lived for tens of thousands of years she imagined.

Seeing Tianlu's big eyes wet, she couldn't bear to bully him too much, so she didn't ask any more—although she didn't ask at all, it was all he said himself. She changed the subject and asked, "So before at Spirit Valley Peak, Steward Feng thought I hadn't opened my meridians, and the elders in the family didn't specially set up a mantra for me, so they didn't communicate their names with me, is that why?"

"Exactly," Tianlu breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that Ruan Ci didn't ask further, he was also very grateful to her, and couldn't help but smile gratefully at her, then continued, "Because the true name is so important, most cultivators pass on a Dao name, a nickname, or a childhood name, or they call the surname without the name. Especially in our Central Continent, there is no continent-protecting formation, and the magic sect comes and goes freely. Even if there is mantra protection, they don't want to pass on their true name to the outside. It is only between martial brothers and sisters in the sect, or between friends who are compatible, that they pass on their names."

He smiled shyly again, "After a while, when Miss Ci learns the Mouth-Cleansing Mantra, tell me your name, and we will be friends."

Such a timid and pure little boy was really cute, but Ruan Ci had no heart to shout cute, remembered a past event from old years, her heart beat very fast, pursed her lips, and asked, "Under the protection of the mantra, exchanging names is already a good friend, then... then what if you don't hold the mantra and exchange names?"

Tianlu smiled, "That is naturally the closeness of parents and children, husband and wife, brothers and sisters. This kind of causal connection is extremely far-reaching. Once established, there will be sensing immediately. When we cultivators in the Central Continent get married, the most important step is to exchange name posts. The treasure box containing the name posts is full of mechanisms, just because I am afraid that after being snatched by someone with a heart, it will cause endless right and wrong cause and effect."

He was slow in temperament. After a while, looking at Ruan Ci's face carefully, he asked carefully, "Miss Ci... shouldn't have exchanged names with someone, right?"

Ruan Ci forced a smile, "No, I just—thought of when I was still a mortal, many people knew my name, and I felt uneasy for a while."

Tianlu also breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, "That doesn't matter. After you open your meridians and cultivate, you only need to hold the Mouth-Cleansing Mantra from time to time, and in the causal sensing, you will naturally erase the mortal records. This is why there are such stories in many immortal legends, saying that someone entered the mountain to cultivate immortality, and the name was empty in the register. Old friends clearly remembered that there was such a person, but forgot the name, and the clan genealogy and official records also had no name, because of this."

He couldn't tell whether what Ruan Ci said was true or false, just thought that everything Ruan Ci said was true, and skipped it in one sentence, and taught Ruan Ci to recite this mantra. Ruan Ci also learned it as soon as she learned it, and recited this sixteen-character mantra over and over again, gnashing her teeth, and recited it more than a hundred times on the spot. Tianlu shouted that it was enough, "One or two times a day is enough, more will not be more effective."

He timidly communicated his name with Ruan Ci, turned "Ruan Ci" over and over, recited it several times, showed his teeth and smiled, "Miss Ci's name is very pleasant."

Even though Ruan Ci's heart was thinking of Qu Tanyue, and she was irritable, she couldn't help but raise her hand to pinch the bun on Tianlu's head. Tianlu raised his hand to protect his head, and taught her the remaining two mantras. The Body-Cleansing Mantra protects the body and skin, making cultivators less prone to injury than ordinary people. In addition, it can cover the qi and energy of the whole body. For example, the Jade Pool phantom on Ruan Ci's head, anyone who opens their eye consciousness can see it clearly. After learning the Body-Cleansing Mantra, she can collect the qi and energy, and when others open their eyes to observe the momentum, they can still see her, but they can't see the phantom on her head.

Most cultivators recite this mantra from time to time. After all, if not, what stage the cultivation is at, and what the foundation is like, others can see at a glance. After covering it, it is like Tianlu. Ruan Ci can only judge the cultivation based on experience and eyesight. At present, she only knows that it is above Foundation Establishment, and the rest can't be said clearly.

"I heard that the Flourishing Sect sometimes holds some pill appraisal conferences, gathering cultivators, observing the pictures on their heads, appraising the inner scene, and setting levels for rewards. However, our Prosperous Sect rarely makes these idle games. It is probably because the disciples don't like it very much. They are originally the proud children of heaven, why do they need to force a temporary high and low?" Tianlu smiled, and he seemed indifferent to the small lake on Ruan Ci's head.

Ruan Ci's identity that needs to be covered up, all the limelight is naturally unrelated to her, and she didn't care when she heard it. She also learned a Heaven and Earth-Cleansing God Mantra. This mantra is to smooth out spiritual energy for the purpose of absorption. If you go to a place where spiritual flowers are messy, you also have to rely on this mantra to protect your body. So far, the Four Great Fundamental Mantras are considered learned. He also taught Ruan Ci to write the mantra on talisman paper. This is the Four Great Fundamental Talismans. "Talisman mantras are originally the front and back of each other. Miss Ci can bestow these talismans to the servants for them to protect themselves, especially this Mouth-Cleansing Talisman, which is best to be worn on the body. If it loses its effect, please ask for a new talisman, otherwise their names will lose protection, and it might be a hindrance to you."

Ruan Ci only then knew that there were many things to do to be a good master of the household. It was no wonder that cultivators often passed down cultivation to their subordinates, otherwise these trivial matters would have to be arranged by her, which would also delay her own cultivation.

Influenced by her childhood experience, she was very interested in making talismans. She was just adjusting cinnabar, talking and laughing with Tianlu, and raised her pen to fall on the talisman paper, but her ears moved, and she heard a crisp sound outside the formation, as if something had been hit in the air, and then there was a mess of loud noises, as if countless fragments were falling from the air. Ruan Ci and Tianlu looked at each other, both feeling confused. Ruan Ci was about to speak, when Tianlu suddenly jumped up and shouted, "Ah! My car!"

Saying this, he rushed out like a whirlwind. Ruan Ci couldn't catch up. She wanted to follow, but remembered something, turned back and grabbed the jade wall from the Qiankun bag and hung it up, and then followed Tianlu and rushed out.

Updated, sorry for the long wait, everyone. I will send red envelopes for the previous chapter in a while.

I'm having fish head from Thousand Island Lake for lunch today. Fish head is still delicious.

Speaking of which, I have seen readers say that there are too many twists and turns, which is a pity for the atmospheric setting at the beginning. Here is a response. For me, I think it is very unrealistic for cultivation to have no power struggles. Mortal society has so many power struggles. If cultivation is not accompanied by power struggles, wisdom fights, and resource exchange calculations, I personally cannot substitute, and will feel unrealistic. It is very difficult to construct the world view reasonably. But of course, cultivation is not entirely power struggles, this is just a part of cultivation. This does not conflict with quick revenge. Xie Yanhuan breaking through the air is a combination of power struggles and personal character. Ruan Ci was just a pure bystander at that time, unable to know the game behind it. After this, she will also have her own game and her own legendary story.

Red envelopes for everyone in this chapter!
