The copy of the universe from the journey to the west

Chapter 219: The Unobstructed Assembly and the Universal Fast (asking for monthly tickets)
After hearing this, Lu Chen flipped through the Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing and took a look. He frowned and said, "Although it also says that one can cultivate a Dadong Zun Shen, there is no specific method of cultivation. How can one achieve the state of unity of body and spirit and become the elixir by oneself?"

He always thought that the 'Great Cave God' was just a concept.

"Because this "Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing" itself was split up!"

The Shangqing body casually pointed at the "Shangqing Dadong Sutra", and then the first sentence of each of the thirty-nine chapters of the scripture glowed, flew out, and gradually combined into a new chapter.

Shangqing Shen took it out and said: "The Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing is derived from the Huangting Volume. The Huangting Sutra says: Chanting it ten thousand times will lead to the three heavens, and a thousand disasters will be eliminated and a hundred diseases will be cured. It will not be afraid of the cruelty of tigers and wolves, and it will also delay aging and prolong life. This is the source of the Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing saying that reading it ten thousand times can make you immortal. The Huangting Sutra is divided into two volumes, the inner and outer volumes. The inner volume focuses on inner alchemy, and the outer volume focuses on self-cultivation. The combination of the inner and outer volumes is the Huangting. The Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing is able to inherit the Huangting. It seems that it does not involve the way of inner alchemy, but it talks about alchemy everywhere, and every sentence is the essence..."

With the introduction of the Shangqing body, the thirty-nine first words gradually came together.

In a trance, it seemed as if a human-shaped vein diagram had formed.

The body and spirit are all present, each returning to their proper place!
In an instant, a magical human figure appeared in front of Lu Chen.

The Shangqing body is still introducing: "The Huangting says: The way to manage life is not complicated, just practice the Dongxuan Yuzhen Pian, and practice the Eight Scenery Gods in the form. The twenty-four truths come naturally, the soul is at peace when you are high and arched, and the pure and quiet spirit sees the words of the jade self... It also says: The three layers of the heart of the zither dance the fetus fairy. The so-called three layers are upper, middle and lower. The three dantians can be divided into three parts, each with eight scenes, called the Eight Scenery Gods. The upper part can be called the Dongzhen Upper Court Dongtian Qi Department, the middle part can be called the Dongxuan Middle Court Zhenfu Department, and the lower part can be called the Dongshen Lower Court. Yuanling Fu Department, three departments and eight scenes, a total of 24 true! The one who governs the Dongzhen Department is Tianbao Jun, the one who governs the Dongxuan Department is Lingbao Jun, and the one who governs the Dongshen Department is Shenbao Jun. There are also four seasons and five elements gods, who regulate the internal scene and correspond to the changes in the external scene. A total of three caves, four seasons, five elements and 24 true, a total of 36 gods, and there is also a female and a male of yin and yang, and the Wuji Huang Lao "guarding one" is used to reconcile, and the 39 gods are combined. All gods can be combined, and thousands of gods can be derived, and they can be transformed into one "Emperor One God", which is also the great cave god. "

Although there are thirty-nine gods in the "Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing", these thirty-nine gods all practiced individually. Their individual practice does not conform to the concept of the Three Caves, Four Seasons, Five Elements and Twenty-Four Truths.

Only after extracting its essence can we see its true face.

When Lu Chen looked at the picture, he couldn't help but be shocked.

"So, the Shangqing Body and Taiqing Body, you two also belong to this system?"

Lu Chen looked at the two of them.

Taiqing Shen shook his head and said, "We are just the incarnations of supernatural powers, and we do not belong to Lingbaojun and Shenbaojun. Moreover, these body gods are just the original spirits that have been cultivated, and they are not the same as the incarnations of supernatural powers like us."

Lu Chen nodded: "So, I can practice the Shangqing Dadong Sutra now?"

The system of "Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing" is amazing!
After the thirty-nine gods become one, the Great Cave God will be born directly.

The rank of this Great Cave Lord God is far beyond that of the so-called celestial beings.

At least one of the true streams shouldn't be able to escape, right?

"You can't practice the Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing."

Shangqing Shen directly refused and said, "This method is specially prepared for the future Senior Brother Yuqing. Of course, I or Senior Brother Taiqing can practice it, but if we practice it, there will be some mistakes after returning to the One Emperor. This method is most suitable for Senior Brother Yuqing to be born and return to the One Emperor. Practicing this method is simply a gift from heaven!"

Lu Chen looked at Shang Qing Shen with a question mark on his face: "You said so much, but I can't practice?"

Then why are you telling me?

Shangqingshen refuted stubbornly, "Isn't this telling you so that you don't use the borrowing method recklessly? The Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing contains the Dao rhyme. The borrowing method will extract the Dao rhyme, and Brother Yuqing will not be able to practice it in the future! You also have a copy of the Lingbao Wufu Jing, which is just a book of talismans, just like the Three Emperors Jing is a book of spells. After recording it, you can use the borrowing method, and maybe you can even materialize Brother Yuqing."

As he spoke, the expression on his face became somewhat expectant. This feeling of anticipation gave Lu Chen a similar illusion, similar to 'I was born earlier than you, so I should be your brother this time'.

The corner of Lu Chen's mouth twitched.

Yes, it must be an illusion!

Shangqing Shen seemed to have seen Lu Chen's strange expression, and immediately became serious: "Ahem, the condition for the thirty-nine gods to return to one is that you need a primordial spirit body to practice. You have a physical body and many obsessions. If you practice, I'm afraid it will be difficult to go on. It's better to continue on your own path of Dunfa and find your own way."

"Is that so?" Lu Chen looked at Taiqingshen hesitantly.

Shang Qingshen was too jumpy, which made him a little undecided.

The Taiqing body is the product of the thought of inaction, and can be considered as the collection of his rationality.

The latter smiled and nodded: "Indeed, just like me, although I continue to follow the path of inner alchemy, I am exploring a new path for inner alchemy. Although the path of the predecessors is easy to follow, it is after all a path for others, not for myself."

"Do you believe it this time?"

Shang Qing Shen waved his hand and said, "Okay, I have told you everything I should tell you. You can figure out the rest on your own. I will go practice first."

As he spoke, Shangqing Shen turned into a wisp of green smoke and re-entered Lu Chen's body.

"By the way, are you really here because of my magical powers?"

Lu Chen was a little confused by Shang Qingshen's move.

It seems that my original body has no say at all among the three bodies.

Taiqingshen nodded gently, "Of course, Daoyou is us, but we are not Daoyou. Daoyou Shangqing is just a little bit of a teacher, which is exactly the impression of Master Tongtian in your memory."

Lu Chen naturally knew this. The magical powers of the three bodies were indeed extraordinary enough. The three bodies derived from them all had their own independent consciousness. For example, Cheng Gongxing's three bodies could live like normal people after taking over another body.

Lu Chen's three bodies cannot take over other people's bodies, but they can purify Lu Chen's thoughts.

The Taiqing body is formed by combining the idea of ​​inaction with the idea of ​​emptiness, and softening the impression of the Taiqing Daode Tianzun.

The Shangqing body combines the concepts of the omnipotent and the not-empty, and it feels like it wants to have a hand in everything.

He is also a good teacher. When he sees that Lu Chen is about to go astray, he jumps out to give Lu Chen some guidance.

If it were Taiqing body, he would definitely ignore it.

Taiqingshen didn't chat too much with Lu Chen, he wasn't the type of person who would do that.

After both of them returned, Lu Chen put away the "Shangqing Dadong Sutra", took out the "Lingbao Wufu Sutra" and began to remove the distortion and pollution on it.

The days became calm again.

Just a flying paper crane disrupted this peaceful life.

The paper crane was sent by Daosheng from Donglin Temple.

According to the information in his letter, Donglin Temple reopened after being closed for more than four months.

And they are also preparing to launch the 'Grand Fasting Assembly for the Universal Salvation of Saints and Ordinary People in the Dharma Realm, on Land and on Water'.

Lu Chen looked puzzled and looked at Zhang Jiao beside him: "Didn't Donglin Temple hold a water and land ceremony last year? Why is there another one? What do you think, senior?"

Zhang Jiao looked at the information above and couldn't help but smile. He shook his head and said, "This is not an ordinary water and land ceremony. It should be called the Unobstructed Assembly."

"The Unobstructed Assembly."

Lu Chen muttered something with a strange look on his face, and several images that were not suitable for children flashed through his mind.

Zhang Jiao smiled when he saw this and said, "The Wuzhe Assembly may have some ambiguity in Tianzhu, but it is definitely not the case in the Central Plains. Wuzhe originally means a Dharma Assembly where everyone, regardless of whether they are Taoist or layman, sage or saint, noble or humble, high or low, can give alms and Dharma equally. Of course, it is also a kind of water and land Dharma Assembly, but the so-called water and land Dharma Assembly held by Donglin Temple last year was just a name made up by Donglin Temple to receive King Jiangxia. The focus was on saving the souls of the dead and praying for blessings, and there were only chanting and praying in the middle, and it only lasted for seven days. It is still far from the real Wuzhe Assembly that lasted for 75 consecutive days. For example, this time's Dharma Realm Saint and Ordinary Water and Land General Salvation Great Fast Victory Assembly is the full name of the Wuzhe Assembly... Donglin Temple is preparing to make a big move."

After Zhang Jiao's explanation, Lu Chen finally understood.

During the Wuzhe Assembly, there was no distinction between high and low, noble and humble, or between Taoist monks and laymen.

Everyone is the same!
Although there is a scripture chanting session, it is only one part of the process.

Moreover, there is no such thing as everyone being happy at the Wuzhe Conference.

If you have the ability to surpass everyone else, then naturally nothing will happen.

But if you are not strong enough and someone comes up to challenge you directly, you have to accept it even if you don’t want to!
There is no distinction between high and low. If you don’t fight back and someone comes up to hit you, you have to fight back, right?

It seems that there are no conditions for the opening of the Wuzhe Conference, but the conditions are very great!
If you have the ability to control the situation, after a Unobstructed Conference, you can push your prestige to the peak!
But if you don't have the ability to control the situation, then starting the Wuzhai Conference is no different from seeking death. "What does Huibao want to do?"

Lu Chen frowned.

Daosheng also said in the letter that the Wuzhe Conference would open in just one month, and it would surely be a grand event.

But can the current Donglin Temple handle such a grand event?

"It's nothing more than to attract more incense, or to cooperate with the Liu Song Dynasty."

Zhang Jiao chuckled and said, "For the Buddhist sect of chanting Buddha's name, the more incense is offered, the more prosperous the luck is, and the strength and power will be greatly improved. In addition, Huibao may be the second incarnation of Manjusri. He was probably stimulated by the fact that the demons attacked the mountain gate."

Lu Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you think he wants to take this opportunity to remove the seal on himself?"

Zhang Jiao nodded: "It is possible, but not very likely. Although Buddhism has developed a method of reincarnation, it is impossible for this method to be without loopholes. If it could be solved perfectly, he would have solved it long ago."

Lu Chen nodded slightly, then wrote a reply to Daosheng, asking him to pay attention to whether there was anything unusual about Huibao.

Zhang Jiao waited until he finished writing the reply before saying, "In my opinion, you don't need to care about these things. No matter how powerful the Buddhist sect is, it can't get rid of the suppression of Shaoyang Cave Heaven and Changsheng Cave Heaven. With Wang Xuanfu and Yin Changsheng around, even if Manjusri returns, he won't be able to get away with it."

Although the cave has been almost completely destroyed.

But Shaoyang Cave Heaven and Changsheng Cave Heaven still exist.

Just like two iron needles that stabilize the sea, as long as one knows the inside story, there is no need to worry that Taoism will be completely suppressed by Buddhism.

Lu Chen shook his head: "Since Shaoyang Zhenjun has not appeared in the world, Changsheng Zhenjun has not appeared in many years."

"That's because Wang Shaoyang was too abiding by the rules, and Yin Changsheng was frightened by the battle in the cave."

Zhang Jiao said: "But if Manjusri really returns, see if they will show up."

Lu Chen did not refute and took the letter away with a paper crane.

Three days later, Daosheng's letter came back.

As expected, Daosheng discovered several anomalies in Donglin Temple.

In the past few days, Donglin Temple has started large-scale construction and built a Manjusri Hall specifically for enshrining the statue of Manjusri Bodhisattva.

In addition, a couple appeared in the temple at some point. The man's surname was Zhou, and he had converted to Buddhism, while the woman seemed a little crazy. She would hold a rag doll and shout "Zhao Di, Zhao Di" every day, but Huibao asked someone to take care of her.

This is almost the first case of a woman living in a temple!
Daosheng didn't understand what it meant, so he used his destiny ability to investigate and found that it was somehow related to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen held the letter paper, narrowed his eyes, and continued to read.

Daosheng also mentioned a strange thing about Donglin Temple, that is, the monks in Donglin Temple have one more thing to do every day, which is to go to the Lotus Hall to worship a lotus platform.

And that lotus platform was exactly the lotus platform that was originally connected with Lu Chen.

"This is for my poor family."

Lu Chen now understood.

Three things, two of them are related to me!

Zhang Jiao hurriedly said, "Don't be impulsive. This is clearly a gesture to let you pass."

"Pindao understands."

Lu Chen nodded, expressionless.

Zhang Jiao looked at Lu Chen's expression, wondering what Lu Chen was thinking.

But there was always a voice deep in his heart telling him that he must not let Lu Chen go to Donglin Temple!
Instead, he asked Lu Chen to go directly to Nanzhong to find the Hulu Cave Heaven!

Zhang Jiao was a little annoyed by these distracting thoughts, so he simply turned around and found a place to meditate.

Lu Chen ignored him. He frowned and thought about something.

He did not lie to Zhang Jiao, and he himself had no intention of going to Donglin Temple.

Many of the things prepared by Donglin Temple are related to him, so Lu Chen would have to be stupid to go there.

Although I have some connection with Zhou Daping and his wife, this connection is just that of neighbors for a period of time.

They are not your close friends or relatives!
Besides, he has a lot of things to do now.

Within a few days, the news that the Donglin Temple was going to hold a Wuzhe Conference was widely publicized.

Lian Shu Jizhen came back from Mount Mao: "Master, this is a message from Donglin Temple."

Shu Jizhen handed a note to Lu Chen.

This is a post sent by Huibao, the abbot of Donglin Temple, to the Taoist master of Shangqing Sect.

Invite the Taoist master Lu Chen of Shangqing Sect to attend the Wuzhe Conference and discuss the great Dao together.

Lu Chen took a glance at it, closed it and threw it aside.

"Master, are you going?"

Shu Jizhen looked somewhat excited.

"No." Lu Chen said lightly.

"..."

Shu Jizhen's excited expression froze in an instant: "Why... why?"

In his opinion, this is a great opportunity to promote the Shangqing School!
Lu Chen said calmly, "I don't have time. If you want to go, just go and see for yourself."

Shu Jizhen opened his mouth to speak, but Zhang Jiao beside him interrupted in time and said, "We are from the Taoist sect, why would we interfere with the Buddhist Wuzhe Conference? When we have time, call Xu Lingqi, and the three of us will take the lead in holding a universal fasting ceremony."

"What is the Universal Fasting Ceremony?" Shu Jizhen asked puzzledly.

Zhang Jiao crossed his arms and said, "Lu Xiujing has just come up with a ritual that records all the gods worshipped by our three families. It's not complete yet, so you can help out when you're free. When it's completed, our Universal Fasting Ceremony will be no less than the Unobstructed Assembly of Buddhism."

Shu Jizhen's eyes lit up instantly and he nodded repeatedly: "This is good!"

They just look down on each other among their Taoist sects.

But now with the Taoist master as a bridge of communication, the trend of the three caves becoming one is inevitable.

Why is it that Buddhism, with monks from outside, has developed better than Taoism?
Isn’t it because Taoism has a non-competitive attitude towards anything?
Each sect has its own fasting rituals, and there is even no uniformity among them. Even within the same Taoist sect, different regions may have great differences.

Like a pile of loose sand!
This is also the reason why Shu Jizhen wanted to participate in the Buddhist Unobstructed Conference when he heard about it.

There is no other reason, it’s just that the Taoist sect is not living up to expectations.
