Chapter 51 Wang Lan's Birthday Banquet
Chapter 51 Wang Lan's Birthday Banquet
Seeing that Chu Tai and the other person seemed to be leaving, the five infant spirits who were still playing the game started crying out again.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah..."
Chu Tai held them down one by one, secretly thinking about how to deal with them.
Seeing this, Guo Shan, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but say, "Master... otherwise... let them... follow me first..."
Chu Tai frowned slightly and looked at Guo Shandao.
"They are hard to control. If they make trouble, you will suffer."
"It's good to make noise... I'm not afraid of... trouble..."
"Since you've made your own choice, you must try your best to do it well. Is that ok?"
Guo Shan was a little nervous as it was the first time someone asked him to do this, and his words became even more stuttering.
But his tone was more determined than before: "I...I...can do it..."
Three days later, among the mountains.
"Golden light shines in the house, auspicious air fills the courtyard. Taiyi Dao Qi circulates through the past and present..."
On the mountain path, Chu Tai walked in front, chanting the Taiyi Jinguan Mantra, and Guo Shan, who followed behind, chanted as well.
"Golden light...sparkles the house, sharp...auspicious energy fills the courtyard...Tai Yi Dao Qi...circulates through the past and present...nectar pours down upon the head..."
“Ahhhh…ahhhhh…ahhhhh…ahhhh…”
The five little ones surrounding Guo Shan also babbled along, and their rhythm seemed smoother than Guo Shan's.
However, compared to Guo Shan's concentration when chanting the spell, these little guys played with copper coins from time to time and pulled the red ropes on their bodies from time to time. Even with Chu Tai as a guide, the Taiyi Golden Light Mantra could hardly work on them.
Another half a month passed, and Guo Shan had memorized the Taiyi Jinguan Mantra, and a faint glow appeared on his body. The five children were still the same as before, and even their aura had not become more solid.
In response, Chu Tai just shook his head.
The Taiyi Golden Light Mantra is a common secret of the Taiyi lineage. Although its mantra is circulated in the world, its true secret is only passed down by the Taiyi lineage.
This is also the reason why Chu Tai guided Guo Shan to practice. Without his help, Guo Shan, who only knew the spell, would have to spend at least ten times more time to condense the golden light.
Once the Taiyi Jinguan Mantra is completed, it has five mysteries: protecting the home, purifying the body, manifesting spirits, communicating with others, and attaining enlightenment.
The first sentence "Golden light shines in the house, auspicious air fills the courtyard. Taiyi Taoist Qi circulates through ancient and modern times" corresponds to protecting the residence, which can spread its own golden light outwards, forming the effect of protecting the Taoist temple.
"The nectar is poured over the head, and the body is bathed in light. The three karmas are purified, and the five internal organs are bright and clear" corresponds to cleansing the body, which can regulate the five internal organs and purify the magical energy.
"Bright inside and out, revealing my primordial spirit. Connecting heaven and earth, auspicious light protects everyone" corresponds to the manifestation of the spirit, which can be used to protect the body, resist external evil and filth, and can also be used to cleanse tools and create magical objects.
Finally, communication and enlightenment are the means of sensing Daluo Heaven and strengthening the means of drawing in the light of heaven to cleanse oneself.
This is also the reason why Chu Tai allowed the five infant spirits to chant along.
If they could be baptized by heavenly light and escape from the disputes of the world, even if it was the secret teachings, Chu Tai would not mind imparting them to these five little guys.
It's a pity that they are only children at heart and are a group of dead souls. Even with Chu Tai's guidance and Guo Shan's help, they can't achieve anything.
After a few days, Chu Tai took off the golden beads from his wrist and gave them to Guo Shan, asking him to stay on a hill.
"You stay here and recite the Taiyi Golden Light Mantra at least three times a day to fill this place with golden light. I will come back to find you in two months at the shortest and three months at the longest. After this matter is over, I will take you back..." "Got it... Master..."
Guo Shan held the golden beads and nodded continuously, then sat where Chu Tai pointed and began to chant.
As for the five infant spirits, after spending more than half a month together, they had become familiar with Guo Shan. After Chu Tai set up some barriers to prevent them from going out, they began to wander around the southern part of the Chu State.
All of a sudden, rumors about Chu Tai reached a climax again in various places.
More and more people began to claim that they had seen immortals, and many new customs emerged in various places.
What’s interesting is that in addition to the help from the Liu family, the Wang family also secretly fanned the flames and covered up some of their secret actions in promoting these customs.
As a family of cultivators, the Liu family has a higher status than the Wang family.
But the position of the Liu family station is too high for ordinary people, which causes many of their actions to be superficial and difficult to go deeper.
But the Wang family is different. The good reputation they have accumulated over the past few decades, plus some benefits that are actually related to ordinary people, make people in every village very concerned.
Therefore, Chu Tai chose to go with the flow in response to the Wang family's behavior, getting involved in some of their actions, planting some talismans, and compiling some mantras.
After being busy for more than half a month, the Crow Fairy Wu Chaoxi came to the door again.
"We found the guy with the corpse qi! He is now staying at the Wang family under the pretext of attending Wang Lan's birthday banquet. According to my guess, he is probably there to protect Wang Lan."
After hearing this, Chu Tai first finished the work at hand, and then flew towards the Wang family with fire.
At this time, the Wang family was decorating the house with lights and colors, preparing to celebrate Wang Lan's birthday.
As the ancestor and pillar of the Wang family, although Wang Lan has always claimed that he is only 99 years old, his grandchildren and great-grandchildren have already grown white hair, which shows that he is definitely over 100 years old.
At such an old age, and with the popularity of the Wang family in the local area, Wang Lan's birthday banquet was naturally quite grand.
Colorful tents are hung high, cloud blankets cover the ground, lanterns are hung in the air, guests from all over the world gather here, and gifts fill one room after another.
These were just exchanges at the mortal level. Many practitioners in the Chu State were arranged in another courtyard prepared by the Wang family.
The yard has been well maintained, with lotus leaves covering the pond, green shades hanging down to the ground, desks made of sandalwood and jade, and stools made of purple gold-painted stone. The wine jugs used are either made of jade or gold, each one is exquisitely made and glows.
Most of the casual cultivators who arrived early were eighth-grade sorcerers who inherited some unconventional magic skills. They had never seen such a luxurious scene before. While enjoying themselves, they praised the Wang family for its wealth.
"As expected of a wealthy family with a good reputation, this eight-treasure preserves must be made with eight kinds of magical herbs, which is most suitable for replenishing essence. And this ginseng tea and ginseng wine are even more nourishing. Eating more will definitely prolong your life..."
A pale-faced old man was praising the performance while constantly pouring tea and stuffing candied fruit into his mouth.
Many casual cultivators nearby frowned as they watched, thinking that this person was quite rude.
But after he swallowed these nourishing things, as soon as a little blood color appeared on his face, black gas began to rise from his body and a vague figure emerged. He immediately understood the reason.
This old man had obviously practiced some ghost magic, and his energy was consumed greatly on a daily basis, so he took this opportunity to make up for the loss.
The Wang family's steward, who noticed this, immediately sent more candied fruits, ginseng tea, and many other things that could nourish the vital energy and essence.
Seeing this scene, many casual cultivators could not help swallowing their saliva. After being reserved for a moment, they followed the second person who started eating and drinking and stuffed food into their mouths.
Wang Lan, who had not yet appeared on stage, stood on a high place and looked into the distance, with a slight smile on her lips.
Sorry, wrong time.
