The copy of the universe from the journey to the west

Chapter 212: The Heavenly Masters of Shangqing gather and all three caves are returned to the body! (asking for monthly tickets)

Just when Lu Chen finished reading the third book, Lu Xiujing also finally finished reading "Lingbao Zhai Fa".

He was writing down the things he didn't understand on a blank booklet.

Lu Chen walked over and took a look. After he finished writing, he asked, "Have you finished reading it?"

"Brother."

Lu Xiujing raised his head upon hearing this, and looked at the book in which he had already written half a notebook. He could not help but scratch the back of his head awkwardly and smiled: "Brother, I don't know much about fasting..."

"Fasting methods are not commonly used, and most of them are external objects. Moreover, most of these fasting methods are no longer needed."

Lu Chen shook his head and said, "Many fasting methods were passed down hundreds of years ago. They are fasting methods for worshipping some evil spirits. They are no longer useful now and do not need to be recorded."

Then, Lu Chen pointed to a few fasting methods and said, "For example, these fasting methods are obviously directed at certain gods and immortals. However, the names of these gods and immortals have long disappeared, so these are outdated fasting methods. There is no need to record them."

Fasting method, that is, the method of fasting, is a Taoist practice ritual. It is divided into fasting method and fasting ceremony.

In Taoism, whether it is fasting or offering sacrifices, their roots are all transformed from the sacrificial and blessing rituals of ancient witchcraft.

Some of the most primitive fasting rituals still contain many traces of witchcraft.

These are all considered outdated by Lu Chen.

Because many of these fasting methods have very clear directions, such as a certain great god in a certain place, or the god of a certain river. These titles sound problematic.

Either it was transformed by a ghost, or it was led by a monster, and then it was recorded by our ancestors, and later sorted and recorded by the Lingbao Sect.

However, it cannot be used nowadays, and because there is no record of the inheritance of the Wu Sect, this part of the fasting method is very scattered and does not conform to the orderly debt method of the Lingbao Sect.

It is useless to take it, and if it is spread out, it may cause some harm by invading distorted consciousness.

Most of the evil cult sacrifices popular among the common people are evolved from this kind of fasting method.

Some sacrifices with obvious directions can attract evil spirits from the Yin-Yang world.

Lu Xiujing nodded, but still asked a few questions about the characteristics of this early fasting method.

Lu Chen had done some research on this and gave an explanation.

But most of the time, I introduced him to the fasting method that appeared later.

Lu Xiujing listened with great interest, and when he was in the mood, he even explained his understanding of the current Taoist fasting rituals.

He believed that the fasting rituals of both the Tianshi Dao and the Shangqing Sect were actually outdated, just like the early fasting rituals pointed out by Lu Chen.

The shadow of the witch sect is too heavy and needs to be eliminated, but the current debt law rituals of the Lingbao Sect are more complete.

After listening to this, Lu Chen nodded slightly and said, "This is also because the Lingbao Sect has had an orderly inheritance over the years. Starting from Ge Xuan, Zheng Yin, Ge Hong, Ge Chaofu, and even the current Xu Lingqi, they are all Taoist masters. The source of their inheritance is also linked to the several major caves. The wine-offering system of the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Dao has been corrupted, and the Shangqing Sect has only been glorious for a period of time. Moreover, its source is also the Tianshi Dao, and it has imitated the Tianshi Dao too much. Therefore, in terms of fasting methods, the Lingbao Sect is indeed more orderly than other Taoist sects, and has more Taoist colors."

Lu Xiujing nodded, and an idea came to his mind: "Then, using the fasting method of the Lingbao Sect as the foundation, and integrating the fasting methods of other Taoist sects, can we completely abandon the influence of witchcraft and form a fasting method system exclusive to Taoism?"

Lu Chen looked at Lu Xiujing in surprise, then nodded and said, "It is possible. It just so happens that some classics and inheritances of the Tianshi Dao and Shangqing Sect will be delivered soon. You can explore them yourself then."

Lu Chen also didn't expect that Lu Xiujing had already started thinking about perfecting the Taoist fasting rituals.

In reality, Lu Xiujing did perfect the fasting method, and he summarized all Taoist fasting methods into nine fasting and twelve methods.

It laid the foundation for the complete transformation of Taoism.

"Ah."

Lu Xiujing nodded.

Lu Chen's affirmation gave him more confidence, and in the following days, he immersed himself in these classics.

Even on the New Year's Day, Lu Xiujing just ate a meal with the people around him and then immersed himself in the classics again.

There is really nothing good about the New Year these days.

After all, it was a time of great chaos, and every household couldn't even get enough food and clothing.

The Chinese New Year is just a reason to get together. There are no firecrackers or couplets. At most, a peach charm is hung at the door.

However, although the New Year atmosphere is no longer there, it is still much stronger than the New Year atmosphere in the real world.

Every household went out to pay New Year's greetings. When Lu Chen came back to his senses from his practice and walked out the door, one by one the disciples of the Shangqing Sect lined up to greet him.

Lu Chen was not stingy and gave each person a paper figure as a New Year's red envelope.

Everybody likes it very much.

After the Chinese New Year, Lu Chen began to practice again.

He is now very busy every day because reading the Taoist scriptures of the Lingbao Sect has given him a clearer understanding of his own path of cultivation.

He wants to perfect his own path and is unwilling to follow the old ways.

This made Lu Chen miss Zhongli Quan a little, and he wondered when he would be able to come back.

If he comes back, I must ask him to take me to Shaoyang Cave Heaven first!
Only by going to Shaoyang Cave Heaven can one come into contact with the inner alchemy method of Shaoyang Cave Heaven.

Not long after the New Year, Shu Jizhen and the Ma brothers also returned.

They pulled out a kitchen cabinet, which was where the sealed secret realm of the Shangqing Sect was located.

Lu Chen took out the Nine Elders Immortal Capital Seal, then pinched the seal and pressed the formula: "Shangqing Great Cave, Yuchen Daojun!"

The kitchen cabinets that were originally ordinary suddenly shine brightly!
In just a moment, the cupboard disappeared, and only a bead emitting red light floated in its place.

This is the magic weapon Shangqing Pearl, which belonged to Wei Huacun and was later obtained by Xu Mu. This is how the Maoshan Shangqing Sect came into being.

Shangqingzhu is a very ordinary storage magic weapon. It has attack power, but not much. It can only release a fire attack at most.

But its most important function is still the secret storage function.

After Lu Chen took the Shangqing Pearl in his hand, he probed his spiritual sense into it. As expected, he saw a space as big as a house, filled with all kinds of books, treasures, and elixirs.

These are the heritage of the Shangqing School, or to be more precise, the Shangqing Xu family, over the past hundreds of years!
Shu Jizhen, who was standing by, watched this scene with a complicated expression.

He tracked Xu Huangmin for many years in order to find the Nine Elders Immortal Capital Seal and the mantra that could unlock the seal of the secret realm.

But now looking at Lu Chen's appearance, he just thought in his heart that this was also good.

He also heard about Xu Lingqi sending the Lingbao Sect's classics.

He glanced at Zhang Jiao who was also curiously watching the scene, and muttered in his heart: "Lingbao Sect and Tianshi Dao, don't they still have to send scriptures to the Taoist master?"

Zhang Jiao seemed to notice something and glanced at Shu Jizhen beside him.

After seeing the half-smile on the latter's face, he couldn't help but roll his eyes and sent a telepathic message: "What are you looking at! Do you really think that just because he is the Taoist master of your Shangqing Sect, he must be a member of your Shangqing Sect? Let me tell you, it's a daydream! In the future, he will be the master of the heavenly masters and the ancestor of Lingbao. Your Shangqing Sect just got a big advantage and a name!"

It is obvious that Shu Ji's true identity is Wang Lingqi.

Zhang Jiao also saw clearly that it was inevitable that Lu Chen would gather the Three Caverns Scriptures together.

If he can really compile the Three Caverns Scriptures, then no matter which Taoist school it is, they will all respectfully call him "Ancestor" in the future.

When Shu Jizhen heard Zhang Jiao say this, he couldn't help but curl his lips and replied, "He is the Taoist master of our Shangqing Sect!"

Zhang Jiao: "But he was not trained by your Shangqing Sect!"

"He is the Taoist master of Shangqing Sect!"

"He is not practicing the Shangqing inheritance now."

"Master of Shangqing Sect."

"..."

Zhang Jiao's eyes turned red: "Can you change it? Is this the only sentence you can say?"

After Shu Jizhen thought about it, he transmitted his voice: "He will not be the Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Master Dao in the future."

Lore!

"..."

Zhang Jiao was completely speechless.

The Tianshi Dao will only be passed down to the Zhang family, this is an unbreakable rule.

Having nothing more to say, he was too lazy to pay attention to Shu Jizhen anymore and turned to look at Lu Chen.

At this time, Lu Chen also took out a sealed book from the Shangqing Secret Realm Pearl.

"No wonder it was so difficult for Shangqing to send out Yuanshen Zhenren. It turns out that the Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing was also sealed."

Lu Chen looked at the original copy of "Shangqing Dadong Sutra" in his hand and couldn't help but sigh.

"Why do you think Xu Lingqi gave you the Lingbao Wu Fu Jing? Isn't it because the Lingbao Wu Fu Jing is also sealed?" Zhang Jiao was not surprised at all, and said calmly: "It costs a lot to erase the imprint of the deposited soul. If you want to buy time, it will take at least five Jiazi to reunite the soul. The Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing is relatively good. It only has Xu Mu's soul imprint. Xu Yufu passed away too early. He forced his way through the barrier before he was thirty and became possessed. After his death, Xu Mu sealed it forcibly, not wanting any disaster to happen. However, the Lingbao Wu Fu Jing was sealed from Ge Xuan to Ge Hong. There are three twisted souls in it. If it is unsealed by mistake, it may cause disaster."

Lu Chen nodded, and then looked at Zhang Jiao: "What about the Three Emperors Sutra?"

Zhang Jiao smiled and said, "Don't worry about this, fellow Taoist. My Heavenly Master follows the Zhengyi Dao. Although the 'Small Three Emperors Sutra' is a blue and purple book, it has never been integrated with the Yuanshen Dao. It is just used as a tool for producing talismans and divine positions. The 'Great Three Emperors Sutra' has been sealed for three hundred years. The distortion and pollution in it have been purified. The 'Three Emperors Sutra' of the Cave God is enough for fellow Taoists to read carefully and draw on it, so that there will be no distortion of the Yuanshen."

Hearing this, Shu Jizhen couldn't help but frown and said, "Isn't there anyone on Longhu Mountain who uses the Three Emperors Sutra to combine the divine position?"

Not only Shu Jizhen, but even Lu Chen couldn't help but be a little surprised about this matter.

Other Taoist sects are all afraid that their own deity seats will not be enough.

But the Tianshi Dao does the exact opposite.

Zhang Jiao finally found a place to attack Shu Jizhen. Hearing this, he laughed and said, "That Shangqing Xuantan of yours is just a poor imitation of the Longhu Xuantan. Do you think that by building the Xuantan, you can separate the talisman seeds? If it is just that simple, why don't people like Ge Xuan and Ge Hong build it? Don't they have the Lingbao Xianyin, or don't they have the things to build it?"

"Neither! The most important foundation of this method is to use the Mahayana inner elixir as a guide!"

At this point, Zhang Jiao couldn't help but straighten his chest, looked at Shu Jizhen with disdain and said: "My Heavenly Master, the Taoist Ancestor, has reached the Mahayana stage of alchemy and has reached the realm of the transformation of the inner elixir and the two yin and yang. Therefore, with the inner elixir as the guide, the seeds of the divine talismans separated can be purified by the two yin and yang elixir. Only in this way can the seeds of the talismans separated be free of distortion and pollution. As long as they absorb the power of incense, they can be improved. Although your Shangqing lineage has the Xuantan, there has never been a Mahayana inner elixir practitioner. Therefore, even the seeds of the divine talismans separated are mostly waste."

Shu Jizhen fell silent upon hearing this. Zhang Jiao's words really hit the nail on the head.

Neidan?

Not to mention the Mahayana of inner elixir, even among the Shangqing sect there is not a single person who has achieved the inner elixir!
There is naturally no place to seek justice.

But...

Shu Jizhen suddenly turned his gaze towards Lu Chen.

We in the Shangqing sect didn’t have it before, but we will definitely have it in the future!
Isn’t Taoist Master Lu Chen a ready-made inner alchemy practitioner?

The inner alchemy Mahayana is probably not far away!
"..."

Lu Chen, who was being looked at by Shu Jizhen, couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

No, why are you looking at me?

Even if I have the inner elixir, I will not stay in this world for you to use as an introduction to Xuantan!
"Cough cough..."

After coughing twice, Lu Chen interrupted the strange atmosphere and said, "I will go read the classics first."

After saying that, he left quickly.

He couldn't stay here any longer. If he stayed any longer, Lu Chen was really afraid that Shu Jizhen would not be able to help but make a suggestion and ask him to offer his inner elixir in the future.

Shu Jizhen couldn't help feeling a little regretful after watching Lu Chen's back as he left.

Of course, although he had the idea of ​​asking Lu Chen to donate his inner elixir, he also knew how much importance inner elixir practitioners attached to their own inner elixir.

Those who practice inner alchemy are truly aiming to follow the path of immortality set by their predecessors, and have never thought about their own death.

So he naturally wouldn't touch Lu Chen's brow now.

Is it okay to wait until Lu Chen's life is exhausted before proposing it?

For example, Zhang Ling, after he became the inner elixir, he never thought about the issue of his own death. But in the end, he still contributed his inner elixir, didn’t he?
Time passes slowly.

In the blink of an eye, the spring season of February, when grass grows, has arrived.

Zhang Feng also came to Yuzhang with two copies of "Three Emperors Classics".

Lu Chen took a look at the two copies of "Three Emperors Sutra" brought by Zhang Feng. As expected, the "Small Three Emperors Sutra" was not sealed, the divine position was pure and flawless, without any pollution, and could be used right away.

Although the "Great Three Emperors Sutra" was sealed, it still emitted a mysterious light.

It is much cleaner than the "Shangqing Dadongxuan Sutra" and the "Lingbao Wufu Sutra".

Just unblock it and you can use it.

However, Lu Chen had no idea of ​​achieving the status of a god, but instead studied the Taoist rhyme contained in the "Three Emperors Sutra".

It’s easy to unblock.

These god positions are just covered with a shell. As long as you are strong enough, you can break it directly.

However, Zhang Feng also brought the secret method of unlocking the seal given by the Three Emperors.

After Lu Chen used this to unlock the seal of the "Great Three Emperors Sutra", a black gas emerged.

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man wearing a tall crown appeared in front of everyone.

This middle-aged man is also a ghost. His expression is distorted, but his breath is very weak. It has been worn away a lot over the years.

Lu Chen never thought about who this person was. He shot out a ray of light and burned him to ashes.

Then he began to study the two Three Emperors Sutras.

The contents of the two copies of "Three Emperors Classics" are similar. They all record methods of summoning ghosts and gods, talismans and meditation. Overall, it is a book of talismans.

It’s just that “Da You” and “Xiao You” may be separated from the original “Three Emperors Sutra” and have been upgraded to higher grades. Due to their different growth environments, the effects presented in some spellcasting characteristics are somewhat different.

For example, the "Five Mountains and Four Rivers Mantra" has a total of eighty words in the "Great Three Emperors Sutra". If you recite it three times on the days of Liujia and Liukui, you will be protected by the gods of the Five Mountains and Four Rivers and the country.

However, the spell of the Five Mountains and Four Rivers in the "Small Three Emperors Sutra" has only seventy-six words, which is four words less than the "Great Three Emperors Sutra". What's worse, these four words are missing the four words "Wind Master and Rain Master" in "Great You".

This also means that when performing the Five Mountains and Four Rivers spells in the "Small Three Emperors Sutra", it will have fewer functions than the "Great Three Emperors Sutra".

Of course, there are also spells that have more "small existence" than "big existence".

After reading both copies of the "Three Emperors Classic", Lu Chen selected the more complete copies of the "Three Emperors Classic" and recorded them down, combining them into a new "Three Emperors Classic".

As for the other two original copies of the "Three Emperors Sutra", Lu Chen put them aside and used the magical powers of his three bodies to separate one of his bodies, allowing him to hold one copy of the "Three Emperors Sutra" for practice.

He himself also held a copy of the Three Emperors Sutra and practiced the same method.

As the incarnation practiced, the mysterious light on the two copies of the "Three Emperors Sutra" gradually disappeared.

This is the most "useless" way of practicing for the God's position - borrowing luck.

The deity can help in the practice of supernatural powers.

However, this is an extremely rubbish method for most practitioners.

After all, if we count the entire history of the cultivation world, there are probably less than a hundred practitioners who have been blessed with supernatural powers.

Besides, who has a Qing Yao Zi Book and wants to extract the divine power of the Qing Yao Zi Book to increase his supernatural powers?

This is a treasure that can lay the foundation for a Taoist lineage to be passed down for hundreds of years!
It is said in many Taoist traditions that the Qing Yao Zi Shu cannot be broken by external forces, but if the "luck" in it is sucked away, the level of the Qing Yao Zi Shu will slowly drop.

This is something that ordinary practitioners do not know, and it is also a secret that has been hidden for many years.

However, this secret could not be hidden from Zhang Jiao.

"Cheng Gongxing was able to slowly transform the 'Butterfly Transformation Magic Power' into the Three Bodies Magic Power, which was due to luck. Otherwise, how could he have rapidly transformed the Three Bodies Magic Power into its current state of perfection in such a short period of time?"

Zhang Jiao appeared at the side and said to Lu Chen, "The Three Emperors Sutra was originally used by Cheng Gongxing. Later, the Five Mountains True Shape Map and the Buddhist Zen Sutra were also borrowed by Cheng Gongxing. After the level dropped, they gradually turned into ordinary things."

"Of course, the God's Throne is just a special existence in the Taoist tradition. To be precise, it is more like a combination of luck and the power of incense. If the God's Throne is gone, we can continue to create it, but there will be few opportunities to improve the supernatural power."

Lu Chen turned his head and asked, "What made the God's throne appear?"

Zhang Jiao shook his head, indicating that he didn't know: "Who knows? The things that have been passed down from the Twelve Cave Heavens are said to have been passed down by the creator of the Twelve Cave Heavens. The Three Cave True Lords, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the Buddha of Buddhism... they all say so, but it's not clear whether it is true or not."

"However, one thing is certain, the creators of the Twelve Caves have not given up on the Yin-Yang Realm. They created the Divine Position in the hope of using it to protect the Primordial Spirit and thereby block the pollution of the Yin-Yang Realm to explore the Yin-Yang Realm. However, this method is not a good one. The power that drives the Divine Position is the power of incense, which is poisonous and will be distorted by pollution. Few practitioners who have merged with the Divine Position have had a good ending."

"Most of those who have merged their primordial spirits with the divine position were fine in the early stages, but in the later stages, they basically evolved into new disasters in the Yin-Yang Dharma Realm. In the early days of practitioners, there was no such thing as the divine position being sealed, so there were some polluted practitioners everywhere in the world who broke away from the constraints of the Yin-Yang Dharma Realm and survived in various parts of the world by relying on obscene sacrifices. This is also the reason why many witch sect sacrifices are very strange."

Lu Chen nodded, turned to look at the "Three Emperors Sutra" in front of him, and then without hesitation, began to use the method of borrowing luck to extract the "luck of the divine position" from it.

As more and more of his "luck" was drained, Lu Chen also began to fall into the comprehension of the "one mind and three bodies magical power".

Gradually, a figure began to solidify, which was a sign that the other three bodies had begun to take shape.

At the same time, some peculiar Taoist rhymes contained in the "Three Emperors Sutra" also began to affect some subtle structures of the supernatural powers.

The concept of three holes began to appear in Lu Chen's mind.

This began to integrate with Lu Chen's idea of ​​'one qi into three pure ones' when he was conceiving the three bodies magical power.

Gradually, even one of the first three bodies began to show some subtle changes.

Lu Chen also felt the changes in his magical powers, but whether it was the Guizang technique or the Heluo technique, there was no warning of danger.

Lu Chen naturally let it go.

And just as Lu Chen was realizing the truth, the light around his body began to change. The sun's essence was suspended behind his head, and flowing light was lingering around his body. The brilliance flickered. Other lights seemed to illuminate the human body's forehead. The primordial spirit was full and hung high in the purple palace, just like heaven and earth. The sun's red essence was reflected, and it stopped at noon and was bright, just like the sun and the moon.
