Henghua

After Taoist Bodhi refined his true form, he went to Taixuan Daze to contact Zhou Xiao, and together they went to find the Shenmu clan.

Shenmu clan, one of the thirteen clans of Yaozu.The genus of Zhicao Lingshen and Qionghua Xianyao are not sacred trees.

Only tree elves who have attained enlightenment for thousands of years belong to the Shenmu clan.However, the Shenmu family loves the sun and hates the sun, and they don't want to live underground for a long time.Therefore, among the monster clan forces, one of the few spirits who inhabit the earth.

Right now, the destination of Taoist Bodhi and Zhou Xiao is the desolate ancient forest in the east.

The so-called "hidden trees in the forest", if you want to hide the traces of the dryads, there is nothing more suitable than Linhai.

"It's almost here, you always cover up."

Zhou Xiao shook his head and said, "Be careful with what you say. Remember, just call me 'Brother Dao', don't pretend to be."

While speaking, he held out the black and white flags and swept them lightly over his body, and immediately burst into vitality.

Taixuanzong advocated "yin and yang", and believed that all changes in the world are due to the corresponding effects of yin and yang.Yin and yang intertwine and come and go, yin retreats, yang advances, yang hides, yin manifests, complementing each other, and biochemistry is endless.

From this concept, the monks of the Taixuan Taoism will choose a pair of interacting Taos, such as light and darkness, life and death, movement and stillness.

Zhou Xiao rebuilt the golden elixir, using "whether there are pros and cons" as the standard.Just for the sake of existence, it becomes the "Wanju Miluo Banner".On the contrary, it is nothing, and it is called "pure world and dust banner".

The principle of yin and yang determined by the two banners of black and white can naturally reverse the true energy in Zhou Xiao's body, and simulate yang and anger.

Taoist Bodhi looked at Zhou Xiao with a pensive expression.

"Brother Dao, what do you think of the 'Theory of Movement and Stillness'?"

"Movement and stillness contain each other, and I think that everything is changing. I have a master who practices according to this principle."

Seeing Heng Hua smiling without saying a word, he raised his eyebrows and said: "Why, what's your opinion, kid?"

"Brother Dao forgot, I am Bodhi right now."

Zhou Xiao smiled, and bowed deeply: "Then, what advice does Brother Bodhi have for you?"

"I can't talk about teaching, but Taixuanzong's principle of yin and yang in movement and stillness is that what is still is still and moves, not motionless.

"Husband Taiji moves to generate yang, and the movement produces movement; stillness produces yin, and movement produces stillness."

Taixuanzong's "quietness" is only the root of nourishing movement, and it is a pre-state of Taiji Yin and Yang movement changes.It is still for the next movement.

Zhou Xiao looked at Taoist Bodhi in confusion.

"So, the way of stillness should be like this? Movement and stillness are the roots of each other, opposite and inseparable. There is neither absolute stillness nor absolute movement."

"But if there is a book of Taoism that advocates absolute tranquility, it will be deadly Taixuan Tianshu." Taoist Bodhi said with an inexplicable expression.

"Is there such a way?" Zhou Xiao smiled.

He is also a sorcerer, and he understands the principles of how exercises work.

Fu Henghua's so-called "quiet practice" and "dream practice" in the final analysis also need true energy to flow.Pure stillness, without any change in true energy, how can one practice?

"Your boy—Brother Bodhi, did he become enlightened recently and become obsessed? Even these tree spirits keep silent all day long. In fact, they are also growing in the dark, not absolutely static."

The wood spirit meditation corresponds to the animal spirits, but it does not mean that they are absolutely still.

"Desperate? Maybe." Taoist Bodhi said silently in his heart, the one who really became insane is your ancestor!

Movement is Yang and life is static, Yin is death.

Absolute stillness, no movement of life, no thinking of the mind, no change, isn't that absolute death?

It just so happened that Fu Henghua knew a heavenly book with such a concept.

Looking at Zhou Xiao, Bodhi thought, "You absolutely don't know what kind of evil your ancestors were tossing about in the Liusha River."I suspect that the reason why he died later was caused by this heavenly book.

Fu Henghua has a lot of taboos about the "Book of Death", thinking that this book is aimed at his own "Book of Creation".

You can come to Yizhou, deal with Yang Dai, and see the ruins of Taixuan Daze with your own eyes.Fu Henghua can confirm that "Yitian Bajishu" and "Taixuan Tianshu" are also restrained by the Ji Ming method of "Dead Ming Tianshu".It may also include "Taiyin Tianshu", "Xuanming True Strategies" and the already fragmented "Hunyuan Golden Seal".

What is a heavenly book?

When the Didian Xianjue intercepted a piece of heaven and earth for his own use, the disciples of the Heavenly Book formed a Tao embryo in their bodies to construct a world system independent of the world.

My body is heaven and earth, and my body is Dao.

This is the idea that exists in every bible.The difference lies in the core principle of each "World of Heavenly Book".

Taiyin Tianshu simulates its core world as a moon.

The rise and fall of the rotation of the sun is the law of its practice.

By analogy, since the moon can be regarded as a world, so can the sun and stars.Therefore, the three lights of the sun, the moon, and the stars should all have the way of the heavenly scriptures.

The Yitian Baji Book believes that the world is easy, and it changes between the Bagua and Vientiane.Everything is easy, and change is change, and it is also connected with the concept of "Taixuan Tianshu".

"Taixuan Tianshu" believes that the world is composed of yin and yang, and there is constant movement between yin and yang.When the exercise stops, it is not death, but to save for the next exercise and new life.

This concept is very similar to "Feng Hua Hui Yuan Gong".Fu Henghua's Heavenly Book imitates the reincarnation of heaven and earth.Every time the world reincarnates, it is the age of a mortal, experiencing birth, old age, sickness and death.

Good Fortune Heavenly Book does not exclude death, but incorporates death into the concept of good fortune.In the reincarnation of heaven and earth, there are spring, summer, autumn and winter, birth, illness and death.

After the death of Heaven and Earth, it will immediately enter the next reincarnation and complete the growth of one year old.

The reason why Heng Hua admitted that "The Book of Creation" was born out of "The Book of Taixuan" is that the two have similar cognitions about life and death.The "yin and quiet" in Taixuan Tianshu is defined as winter.Isn't it all silent for winter storage, for the coming year's yang and spring?

Looking at all the ways of the heavenly script that Fu Henghua either mastered or conceived.

The principles of Tianshu are a theoretically consistent worldview.All laws in the world are contained in the Tao of Heavenly Book.Death, of course, is no exception.

The darkness of the sun, the morning and evening of the sun, the collapse and regeneration of stars.

Yi Dao's Vientiane life and death, Taixuan's yin and yang reciprocal rotation, good fortune's cycle of one year.

The transformation of five elements, one talisman of celestial talisman produces all phenomena, and the transformation of nine revolutions of eighty-nine xuangong.

Being above death is the core requirement that every heavenly book must fulfill.

But "Book of the Dead" is different.

Its so-called Tao, its ultimate death, is absolute stillness.

A world that is dead and no longer in motion.

The principle of the heavenly book it recognizes is not the movement of the world, but the corpse of the world.

No matter how the world moves and changes, whether the sun and the moon rise or fall, or the seasons of spring and autumn, they will all eventually perish, leading to absolute chaos and death.

The Taoism of this heavenly book can kill other descendants of the heavenly book and cut off the possibility of world regeneration.

The same, as Zhou Xiao said.

If practice enters a state of absolute stillness, is that still called practice?

Cultivation and practice belong to the law of movement.

At the end of the practice, it becomes an existence that never changes, never moves, never thinks.Isn't the direction of practice in this heavenly book to kill oneself completely?
Bodhi inexplicably flashed a thought.

Perhaps, the ancestor of the Xuanwei Sect has already proved the truth!
Cross the realm of immortals and touch the coveted Tao fruit.

It's just that his Heavenly Book Dao Fruit is nothing more than death.

"This book is full of paradoxes, and it is impossible to practice at all."

But if someone practices according to the "Book of the Dead".On the way of cultivation, he became the light of death and darkness, and he conquered a group of descendants of the heavenly scriptures.

Looking back, let the deity find a chance to destroy that thing at the bottom of the quicksand river!I believe that other descendants of the Heavenly Book will support it when they learn about it, right?

When Taoist Bodhi was thinking about it, the two came to the edge of the forest.

The vast and boundless blue ocean is full of thick and vast aura of green wood.

It is obviously a breath of vitality, but it makes people feel like the majesty of mountains and the magnificence of rivers.

Zhou Xiao sighed:
"The wood spirits practiced here must be tree kings and wood ancestors."

Taoist Bodhi gently shook the wonderful tree in his hand, and the aura of the green wood turned into two green dragons under his feet, carrying him into the forest.

Zhou Xiao imitated the example, and also enlightened a green luan with wood energy, and rode it into the forest.

Giant trees rise from the ground, towering over the sky and covering the clouds.

Flying at low altitude in the forest sea, you can feel a different kind of tranquility in the quiet forest.

It's just that Taoist Bodhi was thinking about "The Book of the Dead", and when he saw this comfortable and quiet natural forest, he couldn't help feeling a little horrified.

"Wait, there aren't even birdsong here?"

"Lin Hai, even if there are no birds, there should be animals, no, bugs, right?"

The two looked at each other and noticed the strangeness of this forest.

Here, it seems that it is just a pure wood world, and there is no life other than trees.

"Is it because of the struggle and estrangement within the Yaozu?"

After Zhou Xiao thought about it, he immediately called for the door.

"Poverty Taoist Zhou Xiao, a member of the Taixuan Daoist Xuanwei Sect, came here to ask to see King Lin Haishu."

"Poverty Bodhi, a casual cultivator, practiced in Fangcun Mountain of Lingtai, in the three-star cave of the oblique moon."

The two urged each other, but their voices disappeared in Lin Hai soon after.

The law of silence.

Taoist Bodhi muttered in his heart.Could it be that there is also an expert here who comprehends "absolute stillness"?Isn't this courting death?
Wait, he's not really dead, is he?
The Taoist reacted instantly, stomped the green dragon under his feet, and forced Zhou Xiao to go straight to the depths of the forest.

In the surrounding forest sea, small saplings under some big trees can still be seen.But the more you walk in, the trees are all old trees over a thousand years old.

The tree trunks emerged with human faces, all old and twisted.

Zhou Xiao was shocked and said: "There are so many tree spirits, and the Shenmu clan is very powerful—wait a minute, why are they all sleeping?"

"Not sleeping, but dying?"

Taoist Bodhi murmured: "The spell of absolute stillness. Trouble, the first Shenmu tree king you and I found is actually an expert equal to Patriarch Xuanwei?"

"Master? What does this have to do with Master?"

Taoist Bodhi shook his head and smiled wryly, and said: "If Patriarch Xuanwei comprehended the Law of Silence and Darkness in the Tribulation Immortal Realm, then the tree king here should be in the corresponding realm, or even a higher realm, so he can have some contact with it? In other words, the elders here The tree king may be beyond our imagination, it is a tree that is about to fall—possibly, it is a dead wood spirit robber."

The two went straight to the center of the forest.

It was a dead zone with a diameter of hundreds of feet.

The thick dead air turned the soil into black gray.As for the old dryads on the edge of the dead zone, their branches and leaves fell off one by one, leaving only bare old branches lingering.

In the center of the dead zone, there is only an old pile and a towering pile of ash.

Seeing the ashes, Zhou Xiao suddenly thought of a familiar thing.

"quicksand?"

At the bottom of Yuting Mountain, the dead sand in the Quicksand River?
