Chapter 17 Blood Tiger Flag, Blood Tiger Seal
When the general is ordered to lead the army, there should be a general flag and a general seal. Although it is not a short time for Xiao Yu to be awarded the title of general, he still does not have his own general flag and general seal.
After receiving the order to leave the inner palace, Xiao Yu walked towards the Star Hall located in the outer palace.
The Star Viewing Hall is a round tower with a diameter of twelve or three feet and a height of eight or nine feet. It is the place to correct the deviation of the calendar in the palace, and also the place to supervise the flag and seal.
In the army, only the main general, the general and the general have the general flag and the general seal. Therefore, there have always been few people coming and going in the place where the general flag and general seal are made.
When Xiao Yuxing went to the stargazing hall, there were only two soldiers guarding the gate of the stargazing hall.
"What's the matter for this adult to come to the Star Hall?"
Xiao Yu looked up and down at the two soldiers in front of her who were enough to be partial generals, and said in a low voice, "Xiao is the master general just sealed by your majesty. He came here to ask the lord for the general's flag and general seal."
"General Xiao, please wait a moment!"
"Uh-huh!"
A guard entered for a while, and a Taoist priest in a silver robe, white hair and a baby-like face appeared at the door of the Star Hall.
"Why is the Lord of the Star Hall dressed as a monk?"
There are also some immortal Taoist practitioners under the command of the King of Ming, but those immortal Taoist practitioners have abandoned the Taoist robes and changed to the government. Therefore, Xiao Yu is a little curious about the dress of the Taoist robe of the star-viewing Hall in front of her.
After a slight hesitation, Xiao Yu bowed and said, "Xiao Yu has met the seniors!"
"General Xiao, you're welcome!"
He looked at Xiao Yu up and down. The master of Guanxing Hall gave up his body to the side and said with a smile, "General Xiao, please come in!"
"Thank you, Lord!"
After entering the Star Hall, Xiao Yu first saw nine rows of bookshelves.
"These books are all about the star calendar, and few people in the world are interested in these books."
As he spoke, the owner of the Star Hall took Xiao Yu to the stairway leading up.
Going up the stairs, Xiao Yu followed the Lord of the Star Hall to a place full of silver glory.
Xiao Yu practiced with the power of the sun, so he dared to be interested in everything about the power of the stars.
With the understanding of the power of stars, Xiao Yu can be sure that the pure power contained in the silver light around him is related to the power of stars, but it is not the power of stars.
"Lord, this silver aura does not seem to be the spiritual power of the stars."
"This kind of spiritual power is a kind of fairy power, and the stargazer generally calls it a humanitarian force."
"Human power?"
The owner of the Star Hall smiled, but did not explain why this silver spiritual power is called humane power.
"General Xiao, what kind of spiritual pattern do you want to use your flag as the soul of the flag?"
"The soul of the flag? Does a flag also have a soul?
The owner of the Star Hall nodded and looked at Xiao Yu and asked, "You have practiced the secret skills of Buddhism. You should know that in addition to the spiritual power of heaven and earth, there is also the power of faith in incense in this world!"
Xiao Yu performed the Great Tibetan Sutra in front of Li Linchang and others. Therefore, he was not surprised that the owner of the Star Hall said that he had practiced the secret skills of Buddhism.
Seeing Xiao Yu nodding his head, the Lord of Guanxing Hall continued: "The flag itself does not have a soul, but under the warmth of the power of faith in incense, the flag will produce something similar to the soul. For those who practice the Holy Way, this kind of thing similar to the soul is called the Holy Soul.
Hearing this, Xiao Yu's mind flashed and asked the Lord of the Star Hall, "Are those who are officials in the court regarded as holy Tao practitioners?"
The owner of the Star Hall nodded with a smile and then said, "There are also three realms and nine levels of holy Tao practice, and the foundation of holy Tao practice is the process of nurturing the holy soul. Among the Shinto, Immortal Tao and Holy Tao, the Immortal Tao is the easiest to practice, and the Holy Tao is the most difficult to practice. From ancient times to the present, there are many people who practice the holy way for the emperor and enter the way of immortality, but there are few people who practice the holy way for their ministers. However, the power of the Holy Tao is of great benefit to the genshen of the practitioner. Therefore, those who are ministers will have a seal to assist themselves in practicing the Holy Tao.
Xiao Yu always thought that there were very few practitioners of the Holy Way. Now when he heard the words of the Lord of the Star Hall, he knew that there were not many practitioners of the Holy Way in the world, but only those who could become the Holy Way.
"The younger generation has always thought that there are very few people who practice the Holy Way. Today, after listening to a word from the predecessor, you know how wrong your understanding is."
"In fact, your cognition is not correct. Although all officials in the dynasty can be regarded as practitioners of the Holy Way, there are only a very small number of officials who really get the power of incense faith. As far as the ministers under the command of the King of the Ming Dynasty are concerned, except for the two generals, nine generals and the twelve Marquis of Jingming, there are only two brave generals and Taishi who have just entered the Taoist priest.
Seeing what else Xiao Yu wanted to ask, the owner of the Star Hall quickly continued to smile and said, "General Xiao first showed the pattern of the chess soul to the poor road. While the poor road compiled a general flag for the general, he also told General Xiao about the cultivation of the holy path."
Xiao Yu nodded, pondered for a while, and asked, "Senior, what are the requirements of this flag soul?"
"Any spirit can be regarded as the soul of the flag, but General Xiao had better take the spirit he knows best as the soul of the flag."
When Xiao Yu heard the words, she pondered for a moment, and condensed the appearance of the bloody tiger in front of the Lord of the Star Hall.
"Spirit Tiger? What kind of spirit tiger is this?"
Xiao Yu's real yuan is golden red, and the bloody tiger he condenses is naturally golden red.
There are not many kinds of tigers in heaven and earth, and there are fewer kinds of spirit tigers. The Lord of the Star Hall has seen the pictures of six kinds of spirit tigers, but he can't see which kind of spirit tiger Xiao Yu condenses with Zhenyuan.
"Although the younger generation has fought with such a spirit tiger, they don't know which kind of spirit tiger this kind of spirit tiger belongs to."
At the beginning, Guan Zhengshan saw that the blood of the female tiger was several times stronger than that of the ordinary spirit beast. Therefore, he wanted to use the blood of the female tiger to refine the elixir to improve his cultivation. In fact, Guan Zhengshan did not know that the spirit tiger he wanted to kill belonged to that kind of spirit tiger.
The owner of the Star Hall nodded, carefully observed the spiritual tiger condensed by Xiao Yu with Zhenyuan, and said to Xiao Yu, "You first force out nine drops of sperm blood, and then disperse the nine drops of blood, and form the appearance of this spirit tiger with the blood fog of sperm and blood."
Xiao Yu nodded and formed a golden-red ghost tiger shadow with a bloody blood fog in front of her according to the instructions of the stargazing hall.
The owner of the Star Hall first nodded to Xiao Yu, and then typed a few fingerprints that Xiao Yu could not understand at the silver light above their heads.
Under the action of those fingerprints, nine silver silkworms suddenly appeared in those silver lights.
Xiao Yu can clearly feel that the nine silver silkworms have no breath of life. However, after the appearance, the nine silver silkworms began to absorb the silver light around them and spit silk.
When Xiao Yu looked at the nine silver silkworms in surprise, the Lord of the Star Hall continued to tell Xiao Yu about the practice of the Holy Way.
"There are both Shinto cultivation and immortal cultivation, but there is only one "Dragon Quest" for the Holy Tao practice. It can't be relied on. Other holy Tao practitioners can only find another way to cultivate the holy way to nurture the holy soul. Therefore, everyone who practices the holy way has a holy weapon. Civil servants are official seals, while generals are general flags and general seals.
Xiao Yu nodded, pondered for a moment and asked, "Can you tell the younger generation about the realm of holy Taoism cultivation?"
"If General Xiao doesn't ask, he will also tell you."
He replied to Xiao Yu with a smile, and the Lord of the Star Hall told Xiao Yu about the realm of the practice of the Holy Way.
As Xiao Yuanfeng told Xiao Yu at the beginning, whether it is the divine way, the holy way, the fairy way, or the Buddha way, the realm of cultivation is divided into three realms: building the foundation and refining oneself, immortality, and the unity of heaven and man.
The process of building the foundation of Shinto, fairy and Buddhist way is the process of refining oneself, and the same is the holy way.
The three stages of the foundation of holy Taoism cultivation are the cultivation of the soul, the cultivation of virtue and the cultivation of the soul, and the determination of the holy soul. They correspond to the three realms of nourishing and accumulating power, gathering Yuantong veins, and the innate realm of Shinto, immortal Taoism, and Buddhism practice.
However, before the Holy Taoist practitioners practice to the long life, although they will have a shocking momentum, their strength will not increase much.
Therefore, almost all practitioners of the Holy Way practice Shinto at the same time.
"Can holy practitioners only practice Shinto at the same time?"
"The immortal power and Buddha power formed by the fusion of the aura of heaven and earth and the power of faith and incense have a strong fusion power for the holy power cultivated by the practitioners of the Holy Tao. Therefore, the practitioners of the Holy Tao can only practice the Shinto at the same time."
After a slight pause, the owner of the Star Hall continued: "Because of the power of faith in incense, it is easier for holy practitioners to go further than ordinary Shinto practitioners when they abandon Shinto and practice immortals. Some Shinto practitioners who will live in the long world will collect the power of incense and faith when they can't advance for a long time, and abandon the Shinto to cultivate immortality, in order to make further progress on the road of cultivation. This is the reason why many Shinto practitioners enter the world to do good deeds.
Hearing this, Xiao Yu suddenly remembered Gao Cheng.
"When Shinto practitioners abandon Shinto and practice immortality, they can practice by stealing faith incense. Can holy Taoist practitioners also practice through stolen faith?"
The eyes of the Lord of the Star Hall flashed. He looked at Xiao Yu and asked, "Have you ever seen the formation of stealing the power of faith?"
Xiao Yu took a look at the owner of the Star Hall, nodded, and replied in a low voice, "The younger generation has seen a formation that steals the power of faith in an abandoned temple, but that array was casually destroyed by the younger generation."
Just destroy it! Stealing the power of faith and incense is a taboo in the cultivation world. If you see it again in the future, you'd better destroy it immediately.
"The junior understands!"
The owner of the Star Hall nodded and then said, "The cultivation of immortality can use the power of the stolen faith incense, while the cultivation of the holy Tao can only use the power of faith incense that you have gained from all people."
While the two were talking, the silver silkworm condensed by the master of the star hall had been completely surrounded by silver silk.
At this time, the owner of the Star Hall stopped talking to Xiao Yu and hit a set of very strange but very soft handprints on the nine silkworm cocoon with a serious face.
Under the action of those fingerprints, nine silver silk threads flew out of the nine silkworm cocoon and flew towards the ghost tiger shadow between the two. After a while, the ghost tiger shadow was wrapped up.
