Duobao Taoist

Chapter 188
What came into view was a slightly plump Taoist in a red Taoist robe, a purple gold Taoist crown on his head, and cloud shoes on his feet. He looked harmless to humans and animals.It's just that although he doesn't have a trace of vitality fluctuations on his body, standing there is so natural, as if he is integrated with the surrounding environment, incomparably harmonious.The green-clothed scribe was shocked again when he saw this. He was proficient in strange techniques and knew that the person in front of him must have reached the legendary realm of harmony between man and nature. This person's current state is exactly what Taoism pursues. Realm, hurriedly stood up, came to the Taoist, bowed and said: "The Taoist priest invited me, I don't know if the Taoist priest came to the small house, is there a place for Liu to help?"

The Taoist in red robe heard that the scribe was surnamed Liu, he smiled knowingly, his anticipation in his heart increased by three points, and he asked: "Young friend of the Poor Daoist Temple, this residence is quite unique. Let's sit down and learn from each other."

The green-clothed scholar was taken aback when he heard the words, knowing that the red-robed Taoist was indeed a person in the immortal way, and said cautiously: "The Taoist priest asked about the formation of the bamboo forest in front of the door, but it was copied from the Book of Changes by the disciple in his spare time. Small technique, it is difficult to be elegant, but the Taoist priest laughed at it."

"Oh, my little friend can comprehend the way of formations to such a state through a mere book of changes, but he can also be proud of it. Pindao also has a lot of experience in the way of formations. I don't know what you want I worship the poor Taoist as my teacher, the poor Taoist is not boasting, with the qualifications of a little friend, after a little training by the poor Taoist, it is no problem to enter the hall in the future." After hearing the words of the green-clothed scribe, the red-robed Taoist asked excitedly .

The green-shirted scribe obviously didn't expect this Taoist to accept him as an apprentice. After pondering for a while, he said: "It's Liu Ji's blessing that the Taoist priest can take a fancy to Liu Ji, but Liu Ji also knows that a Taoist should be I have learned it since I was a child, now that Liu Ji has passed the age of forty, can he still practice Taoism?"

Hearing this, the red-robed Taoist immediately laughed and said, "Such a trivial matter, how can it be difficult for a poor Taoist. However, if a poor Taoist forcefully cleanses the essence of the Book of Changes for you, it is indeed against the law and nature of the Tao, but as long as you worship the poor in this life Dao is a teacher, and poor Dao has laid some Dao foundation for you, and it is necessary to cross you in the next life. Moreover, with your aptitude and this life as the foundation, the future of the next life should be limitless, but I don’t know what you mean ?”

The scribe in green shirt heard that the red-robed Taoist's words had the air of swallowing the sky, as if he didn't pay attention to anything, and he was also infected by his bold words at the moment, and he laughed loudly, and said loudly: "In that case, Liu Ji Why not just wait for the last life, but Liu Ji doesn't know the teacher's name yet, which is a little rude."

The red-robed Taoist was taken aback when he heard the words, raised his hand and patted his forehead, and said with a little shame: "It's the poor Tao who was negligent. The poor Taoist got the Tao during the reign of the emperor, and the Tao name is Duobao."

Unexpectedly, before the words fell, Liu Ji asked in surprise: "But in ancient times, the human saint master Duobao Immortal?"

Taoist Duobao waved his hands when he heard the words, and said: "If there is no second Taoist Duobao in this world, then the poor Taoist is the one you mentioned, but the title of Saint Master of the Human Race has not been recognized for thousands of years. Someone brought it up."

Then Liu Jier heard that the Taoist admitted his guess, and hurriedly came forward to bow down and said: "It turned out to be the face of the holy master, and he was dissatisfied with the holy master. Liu Ji's ancestors were also ancient human races. There is a portrait of the holy master, but due to the age, it is already blurred, so it is a sin not to recognize the holy master in person. It is a pity that no one recognizes the great kindness of the holy master to the human race back then. It is really a disgrace to the human race."

Daoist Duobao smiled slightly, and said nonchalantly: "People forget about Taoism, and fish forget about Jianghu. I have already got what I want, so why bother to look at the bear's paw when I get the fish. The fish is what I want, and the bear's paw is also what I want; you can't have both, and those who take the fish and give up the bear's paw. The way of heaven Greatness, when it is full, it overflows, don't force it too much."

Liu Ji was quite ashamed when he heard the words: "The mind of a holy master is beyond the comprehension of me and ordinary people, which makes Liu Ji ashamed."

Taoist Duobao waved his hands again and said, "Hehe, let's not talk about this anymore. I wonder what little friend Liu Ji thinks of Pindao's previous proposal?"

Only then did Liu Ji wake up, because of the matter of Daoist Duobao's identity, he was so excited that he forgot what the other party mentioned, and immediately said excitedly: "Liu Ji, what virtue can you do? How dare you refuse to win the favor of a holy master." After saying that, he didn't get up, and immediately kowtowed.

After Liu Ji performed the ceremony of apprenticeship, Daoist Duobao taught him some basic exercises of Jiejiao, and built the foundation for him with his own immortal essence, then he said, "In this way, you are a closed disciple of the poor Taoist priest. Let’s call it Wencheng. The world is about to undergo major changes. The poor Taoist knows that you have ambitions, so you can take this opportunity to accumulate merits. The poor Taoist has already built a foundation for you, and I will pass on some magic weapons to protect you later, which will surely protect you There is nothing left." He took out a clear and bright fairy flag from his bosom, which is the Northern Xuanyuan Control Water Banner among the two treasures of water and fire, because Taoist Duobao has already refined a large amount of heaven and earth vitality in it , and there was also a hibiscus wood body protector, so he handed the most precious body protector to Liu Ji, passed on the usage, and took out a verdant seal from his sleeve. After knowing the usage, he gave it to Liu Ji and asked, "Have you memorized the usage of these two magic weapons?"

Liu Ji happily stepped forward to take the two treasures, and nodded, expressing that he had remembered them.

Taoist Duobao then said: "This small flag is the northern Xuanyuan Control Water Flag, one of the five flags of heaven and earth, and the seal is an attack magic weapon refined by the poor Daoist, named Zhentian Seal. Although the power of these two treasures It's quite big, but with your current mana, it's better to use it with caution unless it's absolutely necessary. If you encounter difficult problems, you can go to Tiechengshan Shishen Temple in West Kunlun to find your senior brother Shen Gongbao Help." Then he handed Liu Ji a shining jade talisman.

After finishing all this, Taoist Duobao still wanted to say a few words to Liu Ji, suddenly he frowned, looked up into the void, and saw a burst of light in the sky, like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, and soon he saw a man in a Taiji gown The Taoist came to the sky above the bamboo hut, who else is the Great Master Xuandu?The Great Master Xuandu was taken aback when he saw Taoist Duobao, and then he said, "Didn't senior brother go to retreat to enlighten the Tao? How did you come here?"

Daoist Duobao was stunned for a moment, a slight smile flashed in his eyes, and asked without answering, "Why did Junior Brother Xuandu come here?" Without waiting for Master Xuandu to answer, he pulled Liu Ji behind him and said, "Come on, Wen Cheng , have met your uncle Xuandu."

Hearing the words, the great mage Xuandu had a look of depression in his eyes, and he didn't even hear Liu Ji's greeting clearly. It wasn't until Liu Ji shouted three times in succession that he came to his senses. After Liu Ji got up, he turned his head and said to Duobao. Humanity: "Eldest senior brother is indeed unparalleled in calculations, and I feel ashamed to be poor."

Daoist Duobao pretended to be ignorant of the jealousy in Master Xuandu's words, and said: "Hehe, the poor Taoist was originally going to retreat to enlighten the Tao, but who knew that the heavenly way warned, showing the good disciples from heaven and the poor Taoist, so it is not right. If you dare to go against the will of heaven, you have to force yourself to postpone the period of enlightenment."

Master Xuandu naturally wouldn't approve Taoist Duobao's nonsense. The importance of the young scribe in front of him has been clear since he was recruited by his teacher to the Dachitian Tushita Palace. It's not as good as myself, a big brother who can already touch the way of heaven.Although my teacher must have received the warning earlier than the one in front of me, but the most precious time was wasted because of Daozu Hongjun's foot restraint order.Things have come to this, but it is also due to the number of days.Just when he didn't know whether he should congratulate his senior brother for accepting a good student, or should sneer and walk away, he saw another bright light in the distant sky, and he saw that it was Sakyamuni, the Buddha of Western Buddhism, and the cloud explaining his teachings. The neutrons, one in front and one behind, also came here.

When the two came to Taoist Duobao and Master Xuandu, they looked at each other, knowing that they were a step late.A trace of regret flashed in Yun Zhongzi's eyes, and he forced himself to meet the two Taoist Duobao, but Sakyamuni came straight to Liu Ji and said, "I invite you, poor monk." Seeing that you have a predestined relationship with me in the West, would you like to follow the poor monk to the Pure Land of Posa to practice my Western magic?"

As soon as the words fell, a trace of disgust flashed in Liu Ji's eyes, and he shouted: "Please also respect yourself, the poor Taoist priest has already worshiped under the holy teacher's door, don't regard the poor Taoist priest as the person who disobeyed the teacher, besides, a poor Taoist family If you enter Buddhism and become a monk, how can you be worthy of your dead parents and ancestors?"

Daoist Duobao stared at Sakyamuni's face with great interest, wanting to see his distressed appearance. It should be known that whether he is practicing Taoism or Buddhism, with the support of several people present, it will be no problem to prove Taoism and longevity in the future. I also worry that there will be no heirs in the next life, and besides, there is joy Zen in Buddhism, isn't it?Unexpectedly, Shakyamuni didn't change his face and said: "Little friend, this worry is a bit superfluous. Didn't you hear that Pilanpo Bodhisattva still has a son called Uri Xingjun, so why should you worry about this matter?" ?”

But Liu Ji was speechless for a while by what Sakyamuni said. He didn't expect this monk to be so shameless. Seeing this, the Great Master Xuandu said, "Since you have already entered my Taoist sect , how can there be any reason to break out of the gate and switch to your Buddhist gate?"

Sakyamuni retorted: "It's not like this kind of thing has never happened before, so it's so strange."

When Yun Zhongzi heard the words, his face was extremely embarrassed.After conferring the gods, Manjusri, Puxian, and Juliusun broke out of the gate and abandoned the Tao to join the Buddha. It was a great shame to explain the teachings. Everyone knew that Yuanshi Tianzun had the best face, so no one dared to mention it in front of him. For this matter, he was afraid that he would die under the Pangu banner due to his embarrassment.Now Sakyamuni actually mentioned it in front of Taoist Duobao and Master Xuandu, and immediately he heard Yun Zhongzi angrily say: "You man, how dare you?"

Taoist Duobao stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Junior Brother Yun Zhongzi, please don't get angry. The poor Taoist thought that fellow Daoist Sakyamuni was talking about his own path to becoming a Buddha and his glorious journey. Let me just listen to it with an open mind." yes."

Yun Zhongzi also looked at Sakyamuni with a sneer on his face and said, "No wonder, ordinary people still know the truth that people go to high places and water flows to low places, not to mention that he is a Buddha now, so he is not like us. So pedantic." When Sakyamuni heard the words, his face turned ashen, but he knew that he could not take advantage of Taoist Duobao's poisonous mouth, so he glanced at Liu Ji unwillingly, snorted coldly, and walked away. go.

Yun Zhongzi saw Sakyamuni walking away in anger, and looked at Taoist Duobao gratefully.Taoist Duobao also nodded slightly, and said: "If you two junior brothers have nothing else to do, please leave. The poor Taoist has something important to explain to this disciple, so I won't leave the two of you." Seeing Taoist Duobao issued the order to drive away the guests, Zhongzi had no choice but to bow his hands and bid farewell to leave.

Taoist Duobao waited for the two to leave, pondered for a while, and said to Liu Ji with a solemn expression: "Wen Cheng, there is another important matter for you to do on behalf of the poor Taoist. Only then."

Seeing Taoist Duobao's seriousness, Liu Ji immediately said, "I also ask the teacher to give me instructions. I will definitely do my best."

"The reason why Pindao entrusted this matter to you is because he valued your mind. You should know that in ancient times, Pindao once helped Emperor Dayu kill the evil dragon and refine the nine tripods to suppress the luck of the human race. But also because of this, under the blessing of Jiuding, Kyushu has been prosperous for a long time, which not only makes Kyushu a place of fierce competition among sects of the Three Realms, but also develops the character of the people of Kyushu to be content with pleasure. The struggle between the human race has brought boundless disasters to the human race, making the human race in dire straits all the time. This can be regarded as a success or a failure.

A few days ago, Pindao got a glimpse of the secrets under the way of heaven. I am afraid that after the gathering of the eight sages of the three realms, it will be the time of catastrophe.This catastrophe is extremely dangerous. In order to leave a glimmer of life for the Three Realms, Pindao is going to ask you to lead the West Kunlun monks to find the Jiuding that suppressed Kyushu, kill the dragon soul in it, and destroy the Jiuding. Vitality fluctuates, destroying the Heavenly Gate to the Earth Immortal Realm, completely isolating the Human Realm from the Earth Immortal Realm and the Celestial Realm.Although doing so will inevitably make the Kyushu people experience some labor pains, it is worthwhile as long as it can awaken their desire for improvement.

It's just that doing so will definitely hurt Tianhe, and I'm afraid it will hinder your future path of cultivation, so the poor will not force you too much, whether you accept it or not is up to you. "

Liu Ji never thought that his teacher would propose such a shocking thing. He naturally knew the significance of Jiuding to the human race of Kyushu, but at the same time he also understood that, as the teacher said, the human race had indeed lost their aggressiveness at this time, otherwise they would not The Di people in the north will occupy the orthodoxy of the human race. Although the Di people have the support of Buddhism behind them, the decadence of the Chinese people is also one of the unavoidable reasons.It's just that this matter must have a great karma with the human race, and my path to immortality may also be destroyed. However, after thinking for a while, I thought: Anyway, I have to reincarnate and rebuild, and I have a teacher with great powers to protect me, so there is nothing to worry about .Nod your head now, and deal with this matter.
