Chapter 9 The place of the dragon

Practice requires perseverance and patience. Practicing Taoism requires cultivation of the mind, and cultivating the mind to achieve stability. If you cannot achieve calmness, there is no way to start practicing. In order to spend the extra time every day, Hu Xuanzong naturally needs to find something for himself.

Meditation in the morning and evening, he meditated to refine his body and strengthen his muscles and bones, and during the day he was busy wandering around Wulong Ridge to understand the terrain, landform, flowers, plants and trees around the Taoist temple. By chance, Hu Xuanzong saw the mystery of the Taoist temple being built in Wulong Ridge.

"Although the terrain of Wulong Ridge cannot be considered steep, a generation of ancestors must have their intention to set up a view here. Now it seems that the place where the Taoist temple is located is the spiritual cave here. Only by standing on the mountain can you see a clue."

There have been many rumors among the people since ancient times about the dragon vein!

Even in the world of practice, there is an unfounded secret circulating, that is, since Liu Bowen, a strange man in the Ming Dynasty, killed all the dragon veins in the world and thought that the Ming Dynasty would prolong his life, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gradually faded, which directly led to the arrival of the Dharma-Ending Age.

Unfortunately, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Liu Bowen, who had killed all the dragon veins in the world, let go of the dragon veins located in Changbai Mountain. Later, the Eight Banners entered the pass and overthrew the Ming Dynasty and established the Qing Dynasty.

Whether these legends are true or false, perhaps only those who witness it know. But Hu Xuanzong, who has visited the Cave Heaven Realm, knows that the reason why the Cave Heaven Realm is full of spiritual energy is more because there are dragon veins in the Cave Heaven Realm, and many sects are built in the Dragon Vein.

However, there is also a legend circulating in the Cave Heaven Realm, that is, the powerful monk who opened the Cave Heaven Realm, had a premonition that the earth would have a dry up in the future, and used means to move the sky and the earth to seize the dragon veins and suppress the cave heaven.

In short, the dragon vein is transformed by spiritual energy, and Hu Xuanzong is sure of this!

The Wulong Ridge where the Taoist temple is located is to be called Wulong Ridge. Although the dragon is a dragon, it is not a real dragon. If you want to transform into a real dragon, you must go through the catastrophe of transforming into a dragon. Where the Taoist temple is established is the place where the dragon pool is.

When the spiritual energy is revived, the gourd temple located at the Dragon's treasure cave will surely become extremely full of spiritual energy. Practicing in the observation can also achieve twice the result with half the effort. The most important thing is that if it can be contaminated with a trace of the dragon vein, it can also increase the affinity of spiritual energy.

Through the technique of geoscience, Hu Xuanzong, who saw a hint of clue, finally understood why a generation of scientists built the Taoist temple in this nameless Wulong Ridge. In contrast, there are also more dangerous and higher mountains near Wulong Ridge.

Unfortunately, perhaps a generation of viewers did not expect that the Dharma-Ending Age would appear later. Without the nourishment of spiritual energy, Wulong Ridge became increasingly desolate, and it seemed to be in love. Only when the spiritual energy revives can Wulong Ridge shine.

"Don't worry! There is still half a year to prepare, and everything is still there!"

Compared with the acquired human-made cultivation blessed place, this natural place where dragon treasure caves is transformed has the effect of swallowing and spitting out spiritual energy. Recalling those who spent all their efforts to seize the Taoist temple in the previous life, Hu Xuanzong began to doubt whether there were people in the practice behind it.

Thinking of these, Hu Xuanzong thought to himself and said thoughtfully: "The soldiers come to block the enemy, and the water comes to cover the earth! He committed suicide in his previous life and was unable to do anything, so he was unable to defend this mountain and this view. In this life, this is where my temple is. Those who take my chances will be killed!"

Even the Baicao Sect that Hu Xuanzong joined in the Cave Heaven Realm in his previous life was not famous for his killing skills. However, in such an environment, Hu Xuanzong has seen too many killings. Sometimes, if you don’t want to be killed, you can only kill and stop killing.

Focusing on the Wulong Ridge where the Taoist temple is located, using the geoscience technique learned in the cave world in the previous life, Hu Xuanzong quickly planned the place where the formation was set up in the future. When the formation was set up and occasionally traveled, Hu Xuanzong didn't have to worry about someone breaking into the Taoist temple.

The villagers at the foot of the mountain were busy scrambling for the summer vacation, and Hu Xuanzong was not idle on the mountain. He cleaned up the miscellaneous trees growing in the wild tea forest and cut off some poorly growing tea trees. The surroundings of the century-old wild tea trees were even cleaned up by Hu Xuanzong.

Looking at the trimmed and maintained tea garden, Hu Xuanzong also said with satisfaction: "When wild tea transforms into spiritual tea, the value of this tea garden will be greatly improved. However, this transformation will take a relatively long process!"

It is clear that ordinary plants want to plant spiritual plants in metamorphosis, in addition to having the conditions for transformation, they also need to provide external assistance. Most of the wild tea trees that are less than a hundred years old are retained, while those with shorter years will be eliminated.

Fortunately, this tea forest is quite large, and the miscellaneous woods and bushes in the forest are cut off, which makes the tea garden look very pleasant. After taking care of the tea forest, Hu Xuanzong looked at the bamboo forest on the other side of the Taoist temple.

It’s a bit of a pity that the bamboo forests planted next to the Taoist temple are all very common bamboos without exception. Although they are not valuable, they can be managed well and can become a beautiful scenery in the Taoist temple in the future.

Moreover, when he has time to travel in the future, Hu Xuanzong can also dig some precious bamboos and plant them in the bamboo forest. For many practitioners of Taoism, most of them prefer bamboo.

In addition to bamboo forests, there are also pine, cypress and a wild fruit forest planted on Wulong Ridge that has been transplanted from surrounding mountains by the masters of all generations. Unfortunately, the annual output of this wild fruit forest is pitiful and tastes very average.

In the eyes of others, Hu Xuanzong, who lives alone in Taoist temple, may be idle. But in fact, Hu Xuanzong, who began to sort out the mountains and forests around Taoist temples, found that he was very busy every day. He went out early and came back late, and took care of the forest land of Taoist temples.

Compared with the economic forests planted in other mountains and forests in their early years, all of them have been cut down without exception. As a private property of Taoist temples, most of the trees growing near Wulongling have been well preserved, and there are also many large trees over a hundred years old.

Looking at the tree that is usually inconspicuous but deeply rooted, Hu Xuanzong sighed a little, "If it weren't for growing near the Taoist temple, I'm afraid you've been cut down long ago. Speaking of which, this is also the legacy of the Taoist temple!"

In the eyes of practitioners, all things in the world have spirituality, including these trees in the mountains and forests. The longer the growth year, the higher the spirituality of these trees. If there is an opportunity, perhaps these ancient trees may also be able to transform into monsters and produce spiritual wisdom.

Perhaps because Wulongling is the place of Taoist temple, villagers who usually go into the mountains to chop firewood rarely come to Wulongling to cut down trees. On the contrary, the masters of the temples of all generations will cut down some trees in the nearby forest as firewood.

Until now, Taoist temples still use firewood stoves, rather than liquefied gas that has been popularized by villagers at the foot of the mountain. There are fewer people burning firewood, and the government prohibits indiscriminate logging. In the past, the mountains and forests that were almost cut off were gradually becoming lush in recent years.

The firewood consumed usually is not much, and even the trees slightly far from the Taoist temple began to grow wildly. When Hu Xuanzong returned to the Taoist temple every day, he would carry a few bundles of miscellaneous woods on his back, but found that the firewood was almost unable to pile up.

"Now! I'll carry the cut wood back, it must have been enough for the Taoist temple to use it for a year or two!"

Although I know that liquefied gas is cleaner and more convenient, Hu Xuanzong enjoys the fun of cooking in the firewood stove. As for cooking, Hu Xuanzong still chooses to use a rice cooker. Some common home appliances were purchased a lot when renovating the Taoist temple earlier.
