Cultivation starts from being a ghost

Chapter 927 Temptation
The next day, the Dharma teaching platform of the Taoist Palace was full of seats. Except for a few direct disciples, there were more than a dozen other people seated in the front. should.

Qin Chuan discovered that two of them were not from the Qingxuan sect, but Lu Yuan and Lu Jing were listening to the teaching of the Taoist ancestor, which showed that the relationship between the Lu family and the Taoist palace was extraordinary.

Just after the hour of Chen, Qingxuan started his lecture. On the first day, he talked about a very old proposition-Tao follows nature.

Taoism naturally refers to natural phenomena such as wind, rain, thunder and lightning, flowers blooming and falling, and even clouds gathering and dispersing. Qin Chuan has also demonstrated similar examples to others, but he has not carefully studied how to use it against the enemy. .

Qingxuan Daozu used gathering clouds to form formations and turning clouds into wind to demonstrate that all things in nature can be transformed into practical Taoism. Qin Chuan was also deeply inspired. "The essence?

On the second day, he talked about the great supernatural power of following words, which he was already familiar with and could not be more familiar with, but today he has a deeper understanding.

What are you talking about?Mantra too! "Soldiers who are about to fight" is a mantra, "God said that there must be light" is also a mantra, and "Om-ma-ni-ba-me-hum" is also a mantra, so this mantra can be a word that implies the true meaning of the Dao, or it can be The holy words of those who have completed the Tao, the former can use it directly as long as they understand the rhyme of the Tao, while the latter must rely on the power of faith. The so-called "the world is infinite, and the universe borrows the law" expresses the true meaning of it!
If one day Qin Chuan completes the cultivation of the Dao of Nirvana, he will say: the heaven and the earth are dead, then that piece of heaven and earth will really be dead. Hurry like a law!" It can also reflect the meaning of extinction, but how many methods can be borrowed depends on how much faith Qin has condensed.

What is the law?The law is the law, act according to the law, "cloud rise" is the mantra, water vapor condensation is the power of law, "destruction" is also the mantra, the destruction of life, the shattering of Taoism, the collapse of illusion, etc. The embodiment of the power of law.

The third day is about the application of Confucianism and Taoism. The six Confucian arts: rites, music, archery, imperialism, calligraphy, and mathematics, each of which can be practiced to the extreme depths can achieve Taoism. Zhuang Biqing did it on the two characters of ritual and music. At the extreme, he achieved the position of Daojun, which can be seen.

On this day, Qingxuan Daozu talked about how the two ways of ritual and music are used in actual combat, on the fourth day he talked about the application of the two ways of shooting and imperial control, and on the fifth day he talked about the application of books and numbers.

Qin Chuan has not been involved in Confucianism deeply, but "music" is the application of the way of sound. He has a lot of experience in the "way of sound". Choose between avenues.

I confirmed my perception by listening to Qingxuan Daozu's lectures. Although I didn't get new enlightenment, I strengthened my understanding of the way of sound in theory.

Usually the most core content is often put at the end. On the sixth day, Qingxuan Dao Jing was explained. The best part.

For the application of Taoism scriptures, he has always stayed at the level of mantra and Taoism. Even in his previous life, it was only used as a practice method, and he did not find other uses.

Now, Qingxuan Daozu has demonstrated that this Confucian sacred book actually contains many secret techniques and Taoist methods. The sentence "a slight difference can be a thousand miles away" perfectly demonstrates the application of the law of space. It has been thousands of miles away.

And the net of etiquette and law formed by the phrase "no rules, no circle" makes it impossible for the practitioners to escape.

Most of the disciples who listened to the lecture were practicing the Qingxuan Dao Jing. It was the first time they saw the other side of the Dao Jing. To actual combat.

Daozu Qingxuan was very satisfied with everyone's reaction. He glanced at Qin Chuan intentionally or unintentionally, and found that he was thinking. out.

The so-called "five constants" are benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness. In the exposition of Taoist ancestors, each word is not only the truth of the Dao, but also related to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, eyebrows, eyes, mouth, nose, ears, five organs, five internal organs, five colors, five rhymes, five directions, five flavors, etc. correspond to each other.

After explaining the theory, he began to use it as a basis to show the practical application of the five constant principles, "Leshan for the benevolent, the unity of the people is invincible!"

A word of the Holy Word caused the void to tremble and resonate in the Great Dao. All the benevolent people present felt their hearts surged. They couldn't help but clenched their fists and punched out with Qingxuan Daozu's punch. An inadvertent punch turned into powder.

Seeing this, Qin Chuan couldn't help taking a deep breath. He could see that Qingxuan Daozu's punch was actually not half powerful. The reason why he had such an effect was that he borrowed the power of everyone. of?It was clearly caused by everyone's benevolence being guided by him?Why is it guided?Because they all believe in Confucianism!
Next, the Taoist ancestor demonstrated the practical application of the Taoism derived from righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith. After talking about these, the disciples and grandchildren listening to the lecture below can ask questions as usual.

"Master, disciples and grandchildren also practice Taoism, why is the power of 'Leshan of the Benevolent' so weak?" The questioner was the boy Baihe.

"That's because you haven't mastered Confucianism, and you don't have enough understanding of the way of benevolence. If you practice one day, you can smash mountains and rivers with one punch!"

"Please ask Zu, if you don't study Confucianism, but only study Daoist scriptures, will you not be as successful as other immortal formulas?" The person who asked the question was Lu Yuan.

"Hehe, boy from the Lu family, you asked a good question. To believe in Confucianism, you can borrow the power of the world. If you only study Taoism, you can cultivate yourself alone. Although you can become a saint, you are just a wild crane in the world!"

Listening to their questions and answers, Qin Chuan suddenly had a feeling that these words were meant for him, but he didn't know what caused this feeling.

After a few questions, Qingxuan Daozu said: "Okay, what I said today, you have to experience it carefully when you go back. Tomorrow is the last day of the lecture. I will teach how to use the Taoist scriptures as a pen to write the Spring and Autumn Period in this picture scroll of heaven and earth. Set the cauldron and the universe!"

Take Taoism as a pen?Hearing these five words, Qin Chuan couldn't help being shocked. He thought of the heaven and earth net built by Ge Wu Dao Jing, and the giant brush built by Qingxuan Dao Jing. Could it be that tomorrow we will talk about how to use this "big brush"?
When I returned to my residence, I always felt that my mood was uneasy, and suddenly the voice of Yuanshi Patriarch sounded, "Qingxuan Taoist ancestor is worthy of being a Hunyuan sage, listening to your words is really better than reading ten years of books!"

"You have only read a few books, do you want to study Confucianism?"

"My Dao has been completed, and it is too late to practice, but the stones of the mountain can be used to attack jade. Confucianism does have a lot to learn from. It implies the method of Shinto, but Shinto believes in individual gods, while Confucianists believe in Confucianism!"

Qin Chuan agreed with this statement, because today when he demonstrated Leshan, the benevolent man, it was actually an external manifestation of using the power of Confucianism. "Do you think it's too late for me to learn Confucianism now?"

"If your Dao of Nirvana is successful, it will be much better than a Confucian sage, why bother to give up the big and take the small, besides, I think your master may not be well-intentioned!"

"Oh? Why did you say that?" Qin Chuan asked in surprise.

"Don't you think he's trying to seduce you?"

"There are so many disciples present, and there are outsiders, how do you know they are tempting me?"

"Hehe, apart from those two outsiders, no one here has really studied Confucianism. Your teacher repeatedly emphasized that only by studying Confucianism can you display the Taoism in the Taoist scriptures and use it for your own use. What is it not to tempt you?"

Qin Chuan felt that this statement was a bit far-fetched, but his heart still moved. He thought of the Hunyuan Dao Pill. This pill contains eight or nine out of ten Dao related to Confucianism. As for the way of benevolence, or the way of propriety Unknown.

If he refines the Hunyuan Dao Pill, with his understanding, he will undoubtedly integrate the Taoism contained in the Taoist scriptures, but why does he keep resisting this Hunyuan Dao Pill in his heart?
The purple air came from the east, and the rising sun jumped out of the horizon. On the Dharma teaching platform, people finally waited for the arrival of Taoist ancestor.

Qingxuan Taoist Patriarch did not take his seat, but was suspended in mid-air. With a wave of his hand, the core [-]-character scriptures in the Qingxuan Taoist Sutra shone brightly under the sunlight.

With another wave of his hand, the one hundred and eight characters suddenly automatically decomposed into runes, and then quickly gathered into a giant brush. Qingxuan Daozu turned into a giant, and finished writing the word "cloud" with the giant brush in his hand. The sky was filled with dark clouds in an instant, when the word "fire" was written, the raging sea of ​​fire engulfed the dark clouds at once, and the word "thunder" shook the earth and shook the mountains, and thousands of thunders came together. There is no suitable word to describe the momentum.

The Dao Palace disciples who were watching were already extremely excited, and Qin Chuan was also full of admiration. The thunder and calamity he experienced at the beginning was nothing more than that. No wonder he dared to say the words of a giant pen.

Without any magic weapon, just with a huge rune pen, you can summon all kinds of magical powers. This alone is enough to make people fall in love with Qingxuan Dao, but it is not enough to make him tempted. What shocked him was the next scene. The word "collapse" was written in the giant pen, and the void of a thousand miles collapsed instantly. A violent wind came out from the outer domain, and there was also a rain of meteorites...

Then he wrote a "stop", the collapsed void was stopped, the wind was stopped, the meteorite was stopped, and even the many Taoist disciples who were eager to fight were also stopped, only a few people paused their eyes, and Qin Chuan was among them.

The giant pen wrote again, "Ping", the void quickly recovered as before, the wind and sea were calm for thousands of miles, and the morning sun was already dazzling...

Daozu Qingxuan received his magical powers, "Everyone has seen that the pen of this rune is the condensed mantra of the Taoist scriptures. It can be practiced, arrayed, made, and can also be borrowed from the power of the Dao. , if you get its essence, you can become a Daluo Jinxian!"

"The Dao ancestor is a great talent!"

"Sage and great virtue!"

……

There was a sound of praise below, Qingxuan Daozu waved his hand with a smile, "Taoism is a means, not the foundation, you can't let go of the basics and ignore the practice of Confucianism. After the fairy list is over, your studies must not be neglected!"

"Respect the decree!"

"Well, the disciples who participated in the list of three immortals can go to the treasure house of the Dao Palace to get a magic weapon. Let's leave!"

Everyone bowed their hands and saluted, and then left.

When Qin Chuan returned to his residence, the expression on his face changed unpredictably. He was obviously very restless. After a while, he seemed to have made a decision to reopen the Tianluo Demon Forbidden Formation and entered the Taiyin Baojian space.

"What do you think? Qingxuan Daozu's holy words are so unique that even the old man can't help being tempted. Don't you have the heart to give up?"

"Of course I won't give up, but... I have limited time now, so it's not too late to practice in the future!"

"Tsk tsk, I really admire you, if I couldn't bear it, I would have started to practice!"

Qin Chuan smiled slightly. In fact, he has decided to give up the cultivation of Qingxuan Daojing. There are three reasons: First, in his memory, Qingxuan Taoist ancestor has never made his unique knowledge public, but this matter is a bit too strange now. Knowing that the less people know about similar methods, the better, so as not to be learned by others, or people will take precautions when fighting, and it is not worth showing this unique knowledge at all, which is too unreasonable;

Secondly, he has already decided to take the Immortal Art of Good Fortune as his main practice method. If he puts too much thought on Confucianism and Qingxuan Daojing, it will not be worthwhile. There are even some hindrances in the relationship. Cultivation of immortals is not about learning good Taoism, sometimes you can't eat more than you can eat.

The third point, since practicing Confucianism involves the power of faith, it is more suitable for Lao Bai to practice than his own body, because Lao Bai knows how to use the power of faith.

In addition, there is another important point, that is, the Hunyuan Dao Pill has always made him feel uneasy. Immortal cultivators pay more attention to the original heart. Since the heart rejects it, why do they go against their will?

What Qin Chuan didn't know was that he hadn't touched the Hunyuan Dao Pill for a long time after retreating, which made Qingxuan Daozu's mind lost for a long time. He didn't understand why even the pen of the Holy Word was taken out, and that kid actually He could still hold back, if Tie Xia didn't want to refine that Dao Pill, wouldn't all his hard work be in vain?In that case, how to rein these fierce horses?How to put a "curse" on this monkey?With the deepening of his cultivation, it may be a repeat of the last incident!

He was not reconciled, but he couldn't think of a good way for a while, and he wanted to persuade him to take Dao Dan immediately, but he was afraid that it would be counterproductive, and he became suspicious.

Of course, Qin Chuan didn't know his master's good intentions, and retreated again. Apart from consolidating his realm, there were two other things to do. One was to rehearse all the Taoism and spells he had practiced in the past. After all, the realm was different. The comprehension of the law and the understanding of the Dao are also deeper, such as the ability to manipulate the laws of space. Master Yuanshi Patriarch, who is good at manipulating the laws of space, how could he miss a great learning opportunity?
The second thing is to prepare for the Three Immortals List. The Three Immortals List has some restrictions, such as not being able to use Chaos Treasures, not using Talisman Treasures, not being able to summon entity distractions and incarnations, etc.

With these restrictions, magic weapons such as the Immortal Slaying Knife and the Hunyuan Ruler cannot be used, and the incarnation of the Qinglong cannot be summoned. If it is just to deal with the True Immortal Ranking, the existing magic weapon is enough, but if you want to get your hands on the Golden Immortal Ranking , that's not enough to see, he must have a few special treasures, and right now he has some ideas, but he needs to think about it carefully before putting them into practice...

(In the original outline, Qin Chuan would have a serious conflict with Zhuang Biqing because of the Taiyin Precious Mirror, and Qingxuan Daozu's favoritism made Qin Chuan feel suspicious, so it is more reasonable to refuse to take the Hunyuan Dao Pill.

Because I intend to end the book as soon as possible, this paragraph is omitted, and the reason is a bit flimsy, please forgive me! )
