The history of the struggle of the God of the Stove

Chapter 358 Purple Qi coming from the east
Taishang Laojun shook his head lightly: "I have no intention of letting you betray your master."

Although he is also somewhat dissatisfied with the random acceptance of disciples by the leader of Tongtian sect, he is not as serious as Yuanshi Tianzun, and he still has no prejudice against some outstanding disciples of Tongtian sect.

Especially Daoist Duobao, who has cultivated to the peak of Da Luo Jinxian, although he is not his own disciple, is also the best talent in the Taoist sect, and he is reluctant to send it out.

But for the sake of the development of Taoism, some things have to be done.

He currently only has one disciple in Xuandu, so of course he is not willing to send his disciple out, so he can only pay attention to Daoist Duobao.

Anyway, Tongtian has a lot of apprentices, even if most of them were lost after the Great Tribulation of Conferring Gods, there are still many disciples who followed him to Tianwaitian.

Duobao showed a puzzled look on his face and asked, "What does Master mean?"

You can't let yourself pretend to join the Western religion, but actually send yourself to be an undercover agent?
Immediately, Duobao erased this inexplicable thought.

Taishang Laojun is not only his uncle, but also a sage, and he has his own reasons for doing things. How could he guess like this? It's really inappropriate.

I heard Taishang Laojun say: "The reason why I explain the Western Taoism to you is indeed to send you to the West.

Now that the great prosperity of the West is imminent, if the way of spreading the teachings of Western religions is not restrained, it will definitely have a great impact on our Taoism. "

"This cannot be a reason for a disciple to betray his master."

Duobao said: "The Western religion can spread the teachings, so naturally our Taoism can also open the door and recruit disciples."

"Do you want to accept disciples like your master again?"

Taishang Laojun sighed softly: "Your master teaches without distinction, this is his Daoist philosophy, although I can't see some of his practices, but I won't be too harsh.

But over the years, what is the reputation of Jiejiao? As a major disciple of Jiejiao, don't you know?
The reason why the reputation of Jiejiao has deteriorated is not because of the disaster caused by you recruiting disciples without asking your roots!

The current way of doing things in Western religions is actually even more extreme than your cut-off religions. In order to prosper, regardless of their nature, good or bad, or what their roots are, as long as they are useful, they will all be included in the sect.

But they are much stronger than you in one thing. They have strict rules and regulations. They also have a strong prohibition to control those rebellious people. Although the methods are too overbearing, they will definitely not convince those rebellious people. But it is the most effective move.

I know the thoughts of the Second Saints of the West. They just want to use these people to strengthen their momentum and lay a foundation. After the teachings spread in the future, they will cast a wide net to catch more fish, select outstanding disciples from them, and choose the best.

Although the method is somewhat criticized, the reason why they do this is because they have to do so. Otherwise, if the preaching is carried out in a slowly developing way, it will be too difficult for the Western religion to prosper. "

During this period of time, Duobao listened to the Taishang Laojun explaining the Taoism taught in the West, so he naturally understood the reason.

The method taught by the West is different from the way of Taoist practice. The practice of Taoism has a layer-by-layer division. As long as you practice step by step, you can cultivate to a certain extent. The most difficult part is related to enlightenment. The qualifications and comprehension requirements of the disciples are very high.

However, Western methods do not have strict divisions of realms. They also attach great importance to comprehension, and pay attention to sudden enlightenment and the achievement of Bodhi.

After achieving some achievements in cultivation, he also possesses supreme supernatural powers, great power, and even has a great restraint effect on demons and ghosts.

But the biggest weakness is that getting started is too difficult.

It is even more difficult to achieve something after getting started.

Because the Western method has too high requirements on mind and character, or you are extremely intelligent and can easily comprehend the essence of the Western method and see through another layer of meaning hidden in it.

Or you can only recite the scriptures day after day and year after year without distraction, and through years of reciting, get rid of all the frizz and distracting thoughts in your heart. Maybe after decades of reciting, you will suddenly realize the profound meaning.

Although the foundation of this step-by-step practice is extremely solid, it is too slow, and often only a little achievement can be achieved before the end of life.

In this way, the hope of proving the Tao can only be pinned on the next life, if not, the next life will have to continue to practice.

This is also why Taoism only wants to be happy in this life, but Buddhism wants to live in the afterlife. It's not that they don't want to want this life, but they just can't get it.

Taishang Laojun said: "It is because their method is too difficult to cultivate, so they have to recruit a large number of disciples in order to select some outstanding disciples.

Therefore, it pays special attention to spreading teachings among ordinary people, and uses some words that attract people to be good to induce people to believe in the theory of blessings in the afterlife.

In fact, I want the people to accept their practice philosophy, so that people who practice Western methods will think that reincarnation is a normal thing, but they forget that my practice method is much more convenient than theirs. "

Speaking of this, the Empress sighed softly: "It's a pity that my Daoist method is much better than the Western method, but the number of disciples is rare, and I am very cautious about recruiting disciples. It is impossible to accept all the disciples regardless of good or bad like the Western method So in this respect, I suffered a big loss.”

Duobao glanced at him, but didn't speak.

The number of Jiejiao disciples was enough, but you killed most of them in the first battle, and you forcibly killed nearly half of them, so naturally there are not many left.

In the past, my master was the only one who cared more about accepting apprentices. Your old man and the second uncle from Yuxu Palace carefully selected apprentices when it came time to accept apprentices, not only to see the background, but also to look at the root of the heart. There are only a few disciples, and when things come to an end, it is realized that there are not enough disciples in the Taoist sect.

Besides, your old man has only accepted a disciple of Xuandu for so many years, and now you still have the nerve to say something that is rare among disciples?

Seeing Duobao's eyes, the Supreme Master knew what he was thinking in his heart. He couldn't help but glared at him lightly, then shook his head helplessly and sighed softly: "My way is to educate all living beings of the human race. How many people are there? Heir to others, so this is why only Xuandu was accepted to inherit my Taoism.

But in the future, I will take in a few more disciples and let them spread the branches and spread the leaves to pass on the Taoism. "

Duobao was speechless.

Counting on a few disciples to spread the branches and spread the leaves, and strengthen the Daomen?

The Taiqing lineage's kung fu is more about being pure-minded and ascetic, even if you recruit a few more disciples, it's not even a matter of whether they plan to spread their branches and leaves.

However, it is very rare for Taishang Laojun to accept a few more disciples. With his old man's temperament, it is absolutely impossible for him to open the mountain gate.

"There are several reasons why I want you to go to the West."

The Supreme Master looked at Taoist Duobao and said, "First of all, I plan to use your hand to divide the Western Sect, but I don't ask you to split the Western Sect, that's unrealistic.

Now that the luck of the Western religion is in full swing, Taoist Hongjun once promised the great prosperity of the West, so I won't let you mess around, as long as you pass on the Western methods you have learned and disperse the luck of the Western religion as a whole. Just be as aggressive as the sun is rising.

The other is your own path. Now you have been stagnant in the Daluo Jinxian realm for a long time, and you have no chance to break through the realm. The Western religion just has the opportunity for you to break through. "

Duobao frowned, he didn't expect that his opportunity to prove the Tao was in the west.

In fact, after he listened to the empress explaining the Western method, he already felt it in his heart, but he didn't expect it to be so.

Of course, it doesn't mean that he can't prove the quasi-sage if he doesn't go to the west, but joining the Western religion is the fastest way for him to prove the way, otherwise he might stop at the peak of Daluo Jinxian like Fu Yuanxian Weng and others It is countless years.

When Duobao hesitated in his heart, he heard Taishang Laojun continue to say: "In the first battle of the Ten Thousand Immortal Formation, you cut off thousands of disciples and were sent to the west, aren't you worried?

If you go to the west, after proving the Dao quasi-sage, you will definitely have the ability to take care of them. If you kill two birds with one stone, there is no reason for you to hesitate.

Besides, after this amount of calamity is over, you can come back, and even bring back your fellow disciples, wouldn't it be better than knowing that they are suffering in the West but being helpless. "

As soon as this remark came out, Duobao's expression changed.

Although it is what he wants to make the way further, but he is not a Taoist who burns the lamp. He has his own persistence in his heart, and he will not defect from his teacher and join the Western religion just to prove the way.

But when the Taishang mentioned those Jiejiao disciples who were taken away during the Ten Thousand Immortal Formation, it hit his weakness.

It can be said that the first battle of the Ten Thousand Immortal Formation was completely led by him.

If he hadn't widely invited his fellow disciples back then, the Ten Thousand Immortal Formation incident would not have happened, and there would have been no such disastrous defeat.

Therefore, during this period of time, every time he thought about the Ten Thousand Immortal Formation, he felt a pang of guilt in his heart.

If he hadn't insisted on setting up the Ten Thousand Immortal Formation, he wouldn't have lost so many fellow disciples.

Now that the Taishang mentioned this matter, Duobao's inner defense was immediately broken.

Moreover, he also heard from the Supreme Master that the person in charge of the western religion is Taoist Ran Deng.

That guy doesn't deal with Jiejiao, if he deliberately makes things difficult for those fellow disciples, wouldn't it make it even more difficult for them.

"Okay, I'll go."

Duobao nodded, for the sake of those juniors, he should also go to teach in the west, there is no need to say that those juniors should suffer in the west because of him.

…………

Mount Emei.

On the top of a ten thousand zhang cliff, Qi Yuan sat on a piece of bluestone, letting the high-altitude wind blow, his body motionless.

It's just that the sword qi outside the body is constantly evolving into yin and yang, sometimes violent and domineering, sometimes soft and invisible, with countless changes, which makes people dizzy.

Suddenly, there was a flash of sword light outside him, and it dissipated invisible.

Qi Yuan opened his eyes and looked towards the east, and suddenly found that there was faint purple air rising into the sky in the distance, coming in a mighty way.
