Chapter 72: True Dharma of Opening the Mansion

~18 min read 3,425 words

"……"

Wei Lingjiang's fingertips trembled slightly. For a moment, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, like a heavy drum beating.

She pursed her lips tightly, forced down the chaotic thoughts in her mind, looked at Chen Hang flatly, and didn't make a sound.

Neither of them spoke again, and this not-so-spacious bedroom became even quieter.

Wei Lingjiang's gaze swept over Chen Hang's shoulder. At this time, the white sunlight flowed on the ground like sand gold, illuminating the paper, pens, and white porcelain tea cups on the table.

Outside the house, from the small window, one could vaguely see a corner of Daojun Fu Yu Lake.

The blue waves were swaying, the lake water was rippling, and a few seagulls flew past the water surface extremely fast, chirping, leaving only a residual shadow like flying white.

The surroundings were so quiet.

Quiet as if all sounds were silent.

But this tranquility only stopped for a moment before being broken by a burst of hurried footsteps and shouting.

……

"Senior Sister Nine, I followed the master's instructions. After the Jin Xia Boat landed on Daojun Fu Yu Lake, I distributed two Crane Fetus Pills to these two fellow Daoists."

Luo Zhang, the dark-faced Daoist who was operating the Jin Xia Boat that day, was walking in front, smiling at a middle-aged Daoist nun a few steps behind:

"Little brother knew that the master's special gift of pills must be to pay special attention to these two fellow Daoists! Look, isn't Senior Sister here now? Fortunately, I was sensible and specially gave up two connected side rooms, which just happened to save Senior Sister the trouble of looking for people one by one!"

A few steps behind him was a fat Daoist nun with a face like a mid-autumn full moon and a heavy figure.

She wore a flame crown, a purple crane Dharma robe, and held a whisk in her hand. At this time, she also had a kind smile on her face.

This fat Daoist nun, whom Luo Zhang called Senior Sister Nine, was in her early forties. Her eyebrows were slanted like temples. Although her body was one or two circles wider than ordinary people, she was very agile and light when walking, like a strong bear, with a majestic momentum.

Hearing Luo Zhang's words, the fat Daoist nun nodded slightly, smiling, and replied:

"Master and I trust you when you come to do things. Don't worry, these two fellow Daoists have been favored by the master, and their future will be limitless. It is a good move for you to make friends with them early!"

Hearing the fat Daoist nun respond like this, Luo Zhang was even more happy.

Cave Master Huaiwu has always followed the principle of no discrimination in teaching, and his disciples alone number in the thousands. Although he has achieved Qi Cultivation, his status among the many disciples is slightly higher, but he is not high enough to be considered a true confidant of Cave Master Huaiwu.

That day, after arriving at Daojun Fu Yu Lake.

The reason he deliberately gave the room token to Chen Hang and Wei Lingjiang was to please Cave Master Huaiwu in a roundabout way, in order to sell well in front of his master.

Today.

Seeing this Senior Sister Nine, who usually always serves by Cave Master Huaiwu's side, come in person and specifically ask about the whereabouts of the man and woman who were gifted pills by the master.

Luo Zhang only felt that his painstaking efforts were not in vain, and the reward had already begun to show.

It was just two side rooms, just a few talisman coins, and he could earn more if they were gone.

But human feelings.

This thing is not easy to earn...

Those who can be gifted pills by Cave Master Huaiwu and be so valued are all potential talents. In the future, everyone will be a great cultivator who can make a great name!

Being able to make friends with them when they have not yet risen, using only two side rooms, this is a profitable business!

Luo Zhang knew that his talent for cultivation was not very good. I'm afraid that even if he cultivated to death, he would only linger in the Foundation Establishment realm, and sooner or later he would be buried. If he didn't get an opportunity, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to enter the Purple Palace and open that "inner mansion."

On the contrary.

In the matter of business, he felt that he was quite talented and was a good hand...

If he weren't proficient in calculation, he wouldn't have been able to see the opportunity early, bet all his talisman coins, and purchase the inn side rooms on the island of Daojun Fu Yu Lake, and now he has made a small profit.

……

"However, human feelings are one thing, but those two, even if they become great cultivators in the future, can remember my Luo Zhang's kindness of giving rooms, and it will not be in vain... The most important thing is that I was sensible and showed my face in front of Senior Sister Nine today. Maybe I will show my face in front of the master soon! If the master is happy, he will generously bestow a True Dharma of Opening the Mansion, that is the real benefit! The real great benefit!"

Like the thousands of disciples of Cave Master Huaiwu, he and his teacher only have the name of master and apprentice, but no real master and apprentice.

He can only borrow the name of the refiner's disciple to make himself look more glorious.

But to say what real benefits.

It is sparse...

Luo Zhang is already at the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation, only one layer away from the perfection of Qi Cultivation, and then he can naturally cultivate true qi and build a Dao foundation.

At that time, he can also rightfully call himself a Foundation Establishment Daoist.

But after Foundation Establishment, it is the Purple Palace.

This realm requires a "True Dharma of Opening the Mansion" to guide the situation and open up the Purple Palace.

And the Purple Palace vision has three grades: high, middle, and low. The difference between each grade can be said to be a world of difference.

There are tens of thousands of "True Dharma of Opening the Mansion" in the nine states and four seas, plus the legacy of the ancients and the plunder of some heavens and lands, it is even more endless.

But even if the "True Dharma of Opening the Mansion" is as dense as the stars at night.

The True Dharma that can open up the upper-grade Purple Palace vision is as rare as morning stars.

Such high-grade True Dharma has always been circulated in the Eight Sects and Six Schools and the Twelve Families, and has never been leaked out.

Even for major sects like the Five Light Sect and the Flower Ce Ce Shen Fu, they have no chance to see it.

Luo Zhang once heard a Five Light Sect disciple say after drinking.

Even those true disciples who were designated by the Primordial Spirit Ancestor, when they reached the third layer of Foundation Establishment and wanted to achieve the Purple Palace realm, if they wanted to go further in the vision, there were only two methods.

Either, led by their teachers, go to the outer sky to seek opportunities, hoping to hit a big luck and obtain a high-grade True Dharma of Opening the Mansion.

After all, the Great Thousand World, ten thousand Daos and heavens, are countless.

No one knows what kind of creation is buried in this void star sea, and how many former mansions are hidden.

If you really hit a big luck, let alone a high-grade True Dharma of Opening the Mansion, even the legendary "Nine-Turn Taiyi Return Pill" that brings the dead back to life and seizes the creation of heaven, it is said that you can meet a few gourds.

However, not to mention the extreme danger of the universe star sea, and the countless extraterrestrial demons, it is a matter of trillions of people, and even Golden Cores and Primordial Spirit True Persons will die miserably if they are not careful.

Just going to the outer sky to seek opportunities.

It is no different from finding a needle in a haystack...

It is said that the Junyao True Person who won the championship at the "Danyuan Assembly" obtained a high-grade True Dharma of Opening the Mansion and a great divine ability of the immortal Dao in the outer sky before he achieved the Dao.

However, in the nine states and four seas, there are very few people with such luck, and most of them have gained nothing and returned empty-handed.

Some were even more tragic. They were fine when they left, but not long after they left the Qi circle, their corpses and primordial spirits were inexplicably gone.

Their families and old friends could only set up a cenotaph to send their thoughts.

After repeated gains were very small.

According to the Five Light Sect disciple after drinking.

This method has been hated by most of the elders in their Five Light Sect because it is too not worth the loss, and even if it is a true transmission seed favored by the sect ancestor, when achieving the Purple Palace realm at the third layer of Foundation Establishment——

If they want to go further and open an upper-grade Purple Palace vision.

They can only request the Eight Sects and Six Schools and the Twelve Families to borrow their "True Dharma of Opening the Mansion."

However, what kind of price is needed to borrow the True Dharma, the Five Light Sect disciple after drinking was vague...

After all, although he joined a major sect, he was not a true transmission of the sect, otherwise he would never drink and have fun with Luo Zhang.

And the high-grade True Dharma of Opening the Mansion.

Luo Zhang didn't dare to hope for it, let alone hope for it, he didn't even dare to think about it.

Although he worshipped under the sect of Cave Master Huaiwu, his teacher was only a Cave-Mystic Third Layer, not a Jin Dan realm, nor a Primordial Spirit True Person.

Without the backing of major forces like the Five Light Sect and the Flower Ce Ce Shen Fu, even if he wanted to borrow it, the Eight Sects and Six Schools and the Twelve Families would only treat it as a joke.

High-grade True Dharma of Opening the Mansion is absolutely impossible, and low-grade is too crude and simple. If the law causes the failure to achieve the Purple Palace, leading to the loss of divine essence and the decline of Dao practice, that is a real loss.

Luo Zhang has been painstakingly accumulating talisman coins over the years, relying on the tiger skin of Cave Master Huaiwu's disciple to engage in business, and even delayed his own practice.

He just wanted to accumulate enough wealth to purchase a middle-grade "True Dharma of Opening the Mansion."

Cave Master Huaiwu, as a high-ranking official of Cave-Mystic Third Layer, naturally holds many True Dharmas, not to mention low-grade, even middle-grade ones are not few.

It's a pity that Luo Zhang is just one of his many ordinary disciples and is not personally taught, and he rarely sees him.

Only at the beginning of each month, when preaching at the Dharma altar, can Luo Zhang have the honor to see his teacher a few times.

However, this monthly preaching is at most half an hour. Even if the preaching is over and there is confusion in his heart, he wants to ask for answers, but there are thousands of fellow disciples under the Dharma altar, so how can he compete?

Moreover, Luo Zhang himself is not a seed of cultivation, so he is even less in Cave Master Huaiwu's eyes.

Like this Senior Sister Nine beside him, she is talented and was accepted as a personal disciple by Cave Master Huaiwu, and her cultivation is even more rapid.

However, Luo Zhang has a vague illusion.

It seems.

After Senior Sister Nine was accepted as a personal disciple... her temperament seems to have changed a lot?

However, he did not have a deep friendship with her, even if he felt something was wrong, he was too lazy to investigate.

He just felt that it was the change of residence and body, and she was already a high-ranking personal disciple, so naturally, she had to be separated by a thick barrier from ordinary disciples like him, and could no longer be mentioned in the same breath.

……

Between the turns of thoughts.

Luo Zhang had already led the fat Daoist nun up the long ladder and walked to the fifth floor of the Immortal Guest House.

This floor is full of quiet and elegant rooms. Compared with the fourth floor, although it is not very large, because there are only two connected side rooms, and there are some pine, cypress, and mountain stones in the middle, it looks quite quiet and elegant.

"Senior Sister Nine, here we are. The two fellow Daoists who were gifted pills are arranged here."

Luo Zhang smiled, pointed his finger, and said.

Over the years, he has figured it out.

Talisman coins are not enough to save. He has delayed his practice because of calculation, and I am afraid that even if he saves for another thirty or fifty years, he will not be able to purchase a middle-grade "True Dharma of Opening the Mansion."

And his aptitude is not as good as Senior Sister Nine beside him, and he will definitely not be accepted as a personal disciple by Cave Master Huaiwu and be glorious for a while.

In this way.

If he still wants to obtain a middle-grade "True Dharma of Opening the Mansion" as soon as possible.

He can only follow Cave Master Huaiwu's thoughts, touch his thoughts to please, flatter, and be humble!

Anyway, his master is famous for being generous in the Southern Domain. He is his disciple after all. Looking at this, maybe he will be happy and bestow the "True Dharma of Opening the Mansion"?

With this thought, Luo Zhang was also very happy at this time, and led the fat Daoist nun to the door, even his steps were light.

"Wait."

The fat Daoist nun suddenly flicked her whisk and frowned:

"Why choose the fifth floor of the Immortal Guest House? There are only two adjacent side rooms here, and you can connect them by opening a dark door.

In the past, only couples and family members would choose this place, right? Could it be that those two fellow Daoists who were gifted pills by the master are..."

"This is my little private intention to match them. I see that the two fellow Daoists are vaguely like they are in love, and they also brought a child. However, it seems that the male Daoist is too cold, and the two seem to be arguing."

Luo Zhang laughed, and hurriedly explained:

"Senior Sister, don't worry, that dark door, if one side is sealed, the other person can't open it no matter what, it's just a useless decoration, don't worry about me messing up the mandarin duck spectrum."

"Is that so? That's good."

The fat Daoist nun remained calm on the surface, but she was relieved in her heart.

"Couples? I haven't heard of any Qi Cultivation couples in the surrounding major sects... That's good, so that the master's wife can safely cast the Heavenly Demon divine ability and refine these two into demonic dependents."

And while she was thinking.

Luo Zhang had already stepped forward to knock on the door loudly, but after shouting for a long time, no one answered.

"Strange? Could it be that the two fellow Daoists went out for a stroll together, why don't I see anyone answering? Even the fat child is not there?"

Luo Zhang shook his head in confusion.

At this time, the fat Daoist nun suddenly smiled.

"I'm afraid we disturbed the good deeds of the two fellow Daoists. Are they not in the middle of clouds and rain? It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I'm already a person who has come over!"

Beside her.

Luo Zhang's face changed suddenly, because this was extremely rude.

But he was too late to stop it, the fat Daoist nun's true qi had already entered the side room.

"Not good!"

Before Wei Lingjiang could react, she was pressed on both shoulders by Chen Hang and stuck to his side.

The moment the man's slender arms wrapped around her, a cold and clear breath surrounded her, easily surrounding herself, sticking to her cheeks, making her whole face inexplicably hot.

Wei Lingjiang was stunned for a while before she reacted, glaring at Chen Hang in shame and anger.

When she looked up, she only met a pair of deep, dark, and indifferent eyes.

Under his thick and beautiful eyelashes, there was only a piece of dark shadow without any fluctuation, no joy, and no youthful blood.

He just wrapped her coldly, as if he were performing official duties, wrapping only a jade carving or a stone statue, not a living person.

"My Scattered Scene and Restraining Form Art has not yet been completed, don't leave too far."

From his silent lips and teeth, Wei Lingjiang vaguely read this sentence.

The fat Daoist nun's true qi was still wandering in the room, but because Chen Hang used the Scattered Scene and Restraining Form Art to cover the energy of the two, that true qi, even if it passed through them, did not notice any strangeness.

Time was pulled infinitely long, bit by bit...

During this period, Wei Lingjiang couldn't help but want to take a breath, but was pulled hard by Chen Hang, and instead wrapped closer.

"……"

Wei Lingjiang pursed her lips.

She simply closed her eyes and remained motionless, like a rag doll, letting him handle it.

She was originally graceful and slender, but in front of Chen Hang, she was still a head shorter. When she lowered her head slightly, she looked more like she was in the arms of the person in front of her, like

During this, Wei Lingjiang could not help but want to catch her breath, but she was merely pulled forcefully by Chen Heng in his impatience, causing her to be wrapped even closer instead.

"..."

Wei Lingjiang pursed her lips.

She simply closed her eyes and remained motionless, letting him handle her like a ragdoll.

She was naturally slender and tall, but in front of Chen Heng, she was still a head shorter; when she lowered her head slightly, she looked even more like she was nestled in the arms of the person before her, the very picture of a delicate, dependent woman.

At this moment, the true qi had already circulated four or five times in the room, yet still yielded nothing; the plump Daoist nun sighed, turned, and left.

"Ninth Senior Sister! Ninth Senior Sister! What is the urgent matter?"

Luo Zhang hurriedly stepped forward to call out: "What matter is so urgent?"

"The Teacher is to open the Huaiwu Cave on the day of the ceremony and specifically ordered me to come and give these two some guidance."

The plump Daoist nun sighed: "Since these two are not here, you convey a message to them; remember to have them take the Crane Embryo Pill, so that they may achieve a good ranking in the Huaiwu Cave. This is also the Teacher's intention of cherishing talent!"

Having finished speaking, the plump Daoist nun cupped her hands and took her leave.

Leaving only Luo Zhang standing on the spot, his expression changing incessantly.

"The Huaiwu Cave is to be reopened? Hahahaha!"

After a long while, he laughed out loud several times, looking toward the two room doors, unable to contain his joy:

"It's done! It's done! I bet on the right treasure! I bet on the right treasure!"

Inside the side room.

Wei Lingjiang, who had been lost in a daze, suddenly felt a release on her shoulders; she opened her eyes in a fluster, and Chen Heng had already stood four or five steps away. Seeing her look over, he apologized with a bow.

"There was a reason for the situation; I was abrupt."

He lowered his eyes and said.
