Chapter 154 153. The Evil Moon is Coming
Xu Qing picked up the talisman.

Seeing the spiritual perfection on it, one could tell that it was another top-grade yellow talisman.

When Xu Qing said he wanted to draw a talisman, Li Ping'an and the other three
They all followed with curiosity.

When they saw Xu Qing draw a talisman in just a few strokes, they all stood there in a daze.

Li Pingan's mouth was wide open at this time, and he could fit an egg in it. "Xu Qing, is it always so easy for you to draw talismans?"

"Not bad." Xu Qing said modestly, "I'm in better shape today. I could finish it in one go before, but not as smoothly as this."

It’s more than just a better condition!

To the four of them, watching Xu Qing draw talismans was as easy as eating and drinking!
As far as they knew, other senior brothers and sisters in the Qi Refining Realm did not draw talismans as easily as Xu Qing.
And listening to Xu Qing's words,
It seems that he has been drawing talismans like this since he reached the Refining Essence Realm? !

Li Pingan and Chen Ziming had seen Xu Qing draw talismans before, but what they saw at that time were the talismans that Xu Qing had already drawn.
Therefore, it is not clear how Xu Qing specifically drew the talisman.

Li Pingan and the other three all felt that they were gifted and talented.
While other disciples in the Essence Refining Stage were still working hard to cultivate their essence and refine their bodies, they had already started to learn talismans.

Every time they draw a talisman, it takes a lot of time and life essence from preparation to start, and there is no guarantee of success every time.

How could he be so relaxed as Xu Qing, who could be called "freehand"!
Zhao Yinxi said with a depressed look: "Xu Qing, you are such a monster!"

"Be a human being." Li Ping'an curled his lips, "Every time I compare myself with you, I feel like I'm not a genius at all."

Chen Ziming shook his head and said nothing. Ever since he was assigned by his master to manage the medicine garden and deal with those spiritual plants, he has always been in a good mood.

Jiang Xianyue remained silent. Was he a little too arrogant before?
"Let's go, go back."

Xu Qing called the few people who were hit again to return to the table.

He picked up the Three Lights Righteousness Talisman he had just drawn, lit it with his Yuan Qi, and chanted:

"The vast essence gives rise to the Dharma Qi, which condenses in the sky.

The two stars are clear and bright, and the five latitudes are connected.

The three lights are shining brightly, and the precious Qi is condensed in the three palaces.

The nine elders gathered in the emperor's hometown, and swallowed the medicine to make the body full.

The light of Jinhua shines, and my body becomes the same as the sun and the moon.

If you think of the Way and the Saint, you will have an infinite life span. "

The ashes from the burning talisman covered the food on the table. Not only did they not contaminate the food, but they were blended into the food without leaving any trace.

"Okay. Now everyone pick up their chopsticks and try it."

Xu Qing picked up a chicken leg, which was shiny with fat and had a hint of lotus leaf flavor.

He tore the chicken apart with his teeth and swallowed it into his stomach. He immediately felt a faint current of heat rising in his stomach, and the speed of the generation of essence in his lower dantian seemed to be a little faster.

Li Ping'an and others didn't know what Xu Qing had done to the food on the table in front of them, but they knew it wouldn't harm them. Seeing that Xu Qing had already started eating, they hurriedly sat down.

All four of them took a bite of the food and swallowed it.

Then, the four of them faintly felt that their blood and qi increased slightly. Although it was only a very insignificant amount, you have to know that this was just ordinary food.

It's fine to fill the stomach, but it's simply a fantasy to be able to enhance the qi and blood of a cultivator.

Li Pingan's eyes lit up: "Xu Qing, what talisman did you cast just now?"

"The Three Lights Righteousness Talisman." Xu Qing explained: "This talisman, when used with the 'Three Lights Food Transformation Mantra', can bless ordinary food with the Three Lights Spirituality."

"Food blessed with the Three Lights' divine energy is like elixir, and eating it can be used to assist in spiritual practice."

"This is the natal talisman from the sutra I just got. I was just trying to figure it out before you came, and you guys happened to bring some food with you."

"I suddenly thought of it and wanted to give it a try."

"This talisman is great!" The light in Li Ping'an's eyes was about to turn into substance, "It can not only satisfy your appetite, but also serve as a medicine."

"Don't you want to lose weight?" Xu Qing glanced at Li Pingan.

"It's okay. I've already inquired about it. When it comes to the stage of refining essence into qi, all this fat on my body can be transformed into qi and blood, and then into essence." Li Ping'an patted his round belly.

"In fact, it only needs to be perfected." Jiang Xianyue said with a smile: "When the body is full of essence and solid, and the physical body reaches its limit, it is almost impossible to be too fat or too thin in this state."

"Unless you are determined to maintain this state, you won't have to worry about obesity when you reach perfection in refining your essence."

"It turns out that it is enough to refine the essence to perfection. This way I will have no pressure when eating." Li Ping'an's smile was full of joy, with a strange and heroic aura.

Xu Qing shook his head.
Li Ping'an was too indulged in the desire for food and drink. When desire is strong, it is easy to have many distracting thoughts, which is actually not conducive to spiritual practice, especially Taoist practice.

"The desire for food and drink is also a desire, and it is good to be moderate."

Xu Qing made this suggestion and said no more. After all, people came to congratulate him today, and there was no reason to ruin their mood.

"This heavy rain has been going on for a whole month."

At the dinner table, everyone inevitably talked about the recent unusually heavy rain.

"Strictly speaking, it has been more than two months." Jiang Xianyue put down his chopsticks, his face solemn, "Last month it was light rain with occasional heavy rain, this month it has been continuous heavy rain."

Xu Qing took a sip of plum wine and said nothing.

Zhao Yinxi and Li Ping'an picked up a piece of roasted lamb and started to chew on it.

"If it's just a simple flood, it's fine," Chen Ziming put down his chopsticks, "but next month is an unlucky month, and when it's an unlucky month, there might be other unexpected events."

"Yes, the evil moon is coming, and today is an unusual time. Various places are threatened by floods and waterlogging disasters. I'm afraid there will be no peace in the future."

Li Pingan finished a piece of roasted lamb, wiped his mouth, and joined the conversation, while Zhao Yinxi continued to pick up a piece of braised beef and put it into her mouth.
Xu Qingnao's eyes moved when he heard this.

May is considered an evil month or a poisonous month in folklore.
Because May is midsummer, the excessive Yang energy can easily turn into fire poison.

Hence, there is a saying that goes “The first month is good, the fifth month is poisonous” and “When the fifth month comes, the five poisons come out; when the five poisons awaken, there is no peace.”

When an evil month coincides with unusually heavy rain, water and fire clash, yin and yang go against each other, the weather becomes disordered, and some people or demons may take action.

“During this period, the temple has assigned a lot of errands. Within a month, most of the disciples have gone down the mountain three or four times.” Jiang Xianyue said generously.

“This was almost impossible before.”

"Is the flood at the foot of the mountain serious?" Xu Qing had been staying in the courtyard all this time and was not clear about the situation at the foot of the mountain.

Zhao Yinxi responded vaguely, "It's very serious, many places are flooded," then picked up the crab roe soup dumpling in front of Xu Qing and took small bites of it.

Xu Qing glanced at Zhao Yinxi.

After she said that, she turned her attention to the food in front of her, holding a crab roe soup dumpling in one hand and using the other hand to move chopsticks quickly, her cheeks moving non-stop.

He turned around and asked Li Pingan and the other two:

"What are the main missions you handle when you go down the mountain?"

"They are mainly some water-born monsters that came ashore with the flood. They attack villages everywhere. But they are easy to deal with on the shore, as long as you are careful not to be pulled into the water." Jiang Xianyue replied.

"That's why the temple feels comfortable in letting us, the disciples, go down the mountain so frequently to carry out missions." Li Ping'an added.

The three of them chatted one after another, occasionally taking a sip of wine and picking up a bite of food. They were having a very enjoyable chat.

Just when Li Ping'an had almost finished chatting and wanted to focus on eating, there was a slightly crisp "clang" sound when his chopsticks were poked.

"Where are the dishes? Where are all the dishes?"

Li Pingan poked the bottom of the plate with his chopsticks.

His eyes widened. Where was the huge table of food?! How come it was all cleared out?

He was so busy chatting that he didn't eat much.

Xu Qing, Li Ping'an and Chen Ziming all looked at Zhao Yinxi who had not put down her chopsticks.

Zhao Yinxi's mouth was stuffed with food, and her cheeks were bulging, like a squirrel that had returned with a full load.

The table in front of her was now piled with bones and empty plates.

"Zhao Yinxi you."

Li Ping'an looked at Zhao Yinxi's face, which looked like she was enjoying the meal, and he felt like crying but had no tears.

He never expected that one day Li Ping'an would lose to others in terms of eating!
Being stared at by three people, Zhao Yinxi swallowed hard: "I thought you all lost your appetite because of the flood down the mountain."

Xu Qing raised his eyebrows slightly.

I feel like this guy isn't as innocent as I thought.

"How about we fix another table?" Li Pingan suggested.

"Next time." Xu Qing shook his head.

a meal is over,

Xu Qing sent Li Ping'an and the other three away, and went back to continue thinking about the Three Lights Talisman.

The Three Lights Talisman recorded in the scroll includes, in addition to the magic food mantra, other secret mantras for collecting the essence of the sun, the essence of the moon, the three lights of Tiangang, and the corresponding techniques.

The sutras and talismans are the Dharma.

It contains not only the natal talisman, but also many cultivation methods corresponding to the talisman. Only in this way can it be called "divine gift".

In the next few days, Xu Qing not only practiced breathing and refining Qi every day, but also kept pondering these natal talismans and the various methods corresponding to them.

This day.

He sat cross-legged in the courtyard, facing the sun in the sky, making hand seals and uttering the secret mantra:

"Om, Ta, La, Ah, Li, Ha."

Xu Qing swallowed wisps of the scorching sun's true energy into his stomach, transforming into hot currents that nourished his limbs and bones and his blood.

The speed at which the essence in the lower Dantian condenses increases.

Xu Qing saw that it was almost done.
The seal in his hand changed, and the dark "mixed hole" in the middle dantian spit out wisps of primordial qi, which turned into a dragon and swam out of the Huangting and began to walk on the river.

at the same time,

Five talismans flew out.

They are the heart symbol, liver symbol, spleen symbol, lung symbol and kidney symbol.

The combination of five elements gave rise to a diagram containing miraculous power, which is called "Diagram of the True Shape of the Five Internal Organs".

The "True Form Diagram of the Five Internal Organs" was engraved in Xu Qing's mind. The Qi of the five internal organs and the five elements in his body flourished. As the dragon transformed by the Yuan Qi roamed around and devoured the Yuan Jing and the spiritual power of heaven and earth,

After being scorched by fire, soaked by water, enlivened by wood, hardened by metal, and thickened by earth, the five internal organs and five elements nourish and temper them.

Becoming more solid and pure.

Time is passing by.
When Xu Qing was immersed in his practice, the temple suddenly issued a call for the ordained disciples, except those in secluded retreat, to gather in the Deacon's Hall.

The purpose of the call is to go down the mountain and destroy the demons!
