Great Transcendence

Chapter 31

"Okay." The old Taoist nodded and said, "My little friend, please pour your true energy into the jade talisman."

Lin Yi stretched out his hand, Xinghe Zhenqi turned into Sanguang Shenshui and entered it into the jade talisman.

On the jade talisman, there was a drop-shaped imprint lit up.

The old Taoist handed the jade talisman to Lin Yi, and said with a "hehe" smile, "The identity verification is correct. Next, the little friend can act on his own in the academy."

Lin Yi put away the jade talisman and said, "Thank you, President Li."

After leaving the side garden, it didn't take too long to go all the way to the main hall.

The flow of people here is obviously more than other places, many people come in and out, it is very lively.

Lin Yi looked up, and there were three large characters on the plaque on the hall: "Tongde Hall".

Walking into the hall, I saw that the layout of this hall is very strange. There are no statues of gods, only the four-character "merit and virtue" hanging down in the middle, and behind it is the shadow wall. above.

Looking carefully, I found that these pictures and texts were not written on them, but a layer of constantly changing streamer, shining on the wall, the words haloed and were extremely clear.

After a little identification, you can see that the walls on both sides are divided into four columns. On the first column on the left hand, there is a word "Heaven", on the second column is "Earth", on the first column on the right hand is "Xuan", and on the second column is "Yellow". .

A middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance and wearing a Confucian shirt came over and said, "My lord, Gongsun Chenghua, is also well-known in this Dingyang City. He is called 'Bai Xiaosheng'. If you have anything to do, fellow Taoist, feel free to Ask me for advice."

Lin Yi sized up the person in front of him, Bai Xiaosheng, this is a familiar nickname.He smiled and said: "Then ask Fellow Daoist Gongsun to introduce Tongde Hall to me."

Gongsun Chenghua was overjoyed that he could finally open his business today.

Afterwards, he led Lin Yi to the banner of "Boundless Merit", and said in a solemn voice, "The avenue is boundless, and it is difficult for those who walk alone. Those of us who pursue the avenue face the calamity of the world, and those who can achieve great success are rare. "

"On the road to longevity, in addition to self-sharpening and stabilizing one's heart, one must also strive for all resources to increase the odds of winning. The so-called wealth, spouse, law, and land are nothing more than that."

"However, the world is vast, and it is difficult for one person to obtain enough resources in his lifetime. Therefore, there are sects and various organizations. The origins of the family are all born from this.”

"This Tongde hall was originally intended to facilitate the allocation of resources between monks of various schools and sects, as well as the imperial court, sects, and scattered cultivators in various places, so that we can make up for our deficiencies with what we have. We are of one heart and one mind, and seek to prove the Dao."

"So that's the case, thank you Gongsun Daoist for clarifying the confusion." Lin Yi nodded and said, then he pointed to the four columns of "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang" on the walls on both sides and asked, "I don't know what these four lists are for?"

Gongsun Chenghua said: "In order to make it easier to compare and trade different types of resources, all resources are quantified in units of 'good deeds'. And it will be publicized in the Tongde Hall, so that it will be known to the monks who come and go."

"These four lists are different. The task of 'good deeds' released by the imperial court to collect resources and scout news is included in the 'Heaven List' on the left hand. After completion, the reward is higher, but the difficulty is also high; a certain sect, or The missions of 'good deeds' released by the monks are included in the 'land list', and the rewards and difficulty vary."

"As for the second column on the right, the 'Xuan Bang' is the price of various practice methods that can be used for trading, and the 'Yellow List' is the conversion price of various practice materials and 'good deeds'."

After Gongsun Chenghua finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and motioned for Lin Yi to watch for himself.

Lin Yi walked through the four lists, observed their general outlines, and combined with Gongsun Chenghua's explanation, he immediately understood the key points.He stopped under the "Tianbang", and saw the ink characters changing with the flow of light, flipping from time to time.

A place name came into view, "Investigate the cause of the change in Ziyun Valley..."

Gongsun Chenghua came over and said: "Fellow Daoist pay attention to this mission, you must have heard of Ziyun Valley."

Lin Yi nodded slightly, and said, "I just heard about it."

Gongsun Chenghua said: "This Ziyun Valley was originally named Baihua Valley, and it is a well-known natural blessing in the entire Lingzhou. It ranks among the top grades, and it is no worse than the Phoenix Mountain occupied by the Lingzhou Academy in the south of the city. I don't want to die overnight. , completely changed."

"This task was originally issued by the Lingzhou Academy. Many monks turned the entire valley upside down, but they didn't find any clues. Later, it was sent to the academy in the county, and then to the Dingyang Academy. "

As he said that, he shook his head, "To be honest, I have also checked this place, but unfortunately I found nothing."

Hearing this, Lin Yi remained calm, and asked instead, "I don't know what is the difference between this blessed land of the Yang world and the blessed land of the Netherworld?"

Gongsun Chenghua said: "Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. All things bear yin and embrace yang, and the qi is in harmony! Therefore, yang is the surface of the world, and yin is the inside of heaven and earth. The combination of yin and yang makes the outside and the inside Connected, only then can life be bred and all things created.”

"To be specific, every blessed land that is supported by the spiritual veins of heaven and earth can open up a small world in the black water of the Nine Nethernesses. This is the foundation of the cultivation of the earth immortal lineage."

Gongsun Chenghua's voice was full of unconcealable envy.

There are five immortals in the world, heaven, earth, people, gods and ghosts.This represents the five ways to reach the other shore and realize the eternal path of practice.

Earth Immortals open up blessed lands, evolve caves, create worlds, and achieve greatness.

This is the righteous way of the earth immortal. Once it is achieved, the blessed land will not be destroyed from now on, and the earth immortal will not die.It is roughly equivalent to the stage of "rebirth from a drop of blood" when human immortals practice to a higher level.

The ranks of monks in the Great Xia Dynasty are divided into five ranks for human immortals, sixth ranks for earth immortals, and seventh rank for heavenly immortals.In fact, it also refers to the degree of difficulty of these kinds of Dao achievements.

Under human immortals, the fourth rank is immortals, and the third rank is ghost immortals.

Although ghosts and immortals are known as "beyond life and death, and their aura is immortal", every time they reincarnate, there is a "mystery in the womb" that follows them like a shadow. The number of reincarnations is too many, and it is difficult to escape the disaster of being lost in the end.

As for the gods, the true gods who cannot be in charge of the law are just puppets driven by the power of the incense and wishes of all living beings, sinking into the sea of ​​suffering, and it is difficult to escape.

Lin Yi and Gongsun Chenghua kept talking. This person is worthy of his nickname of "Bai Xiaosheng". He knows everything about astronomy, geography, historical allusions, and all kinds of gossip. .

"Fellow Daoist Gongsun, which family monk are you from?" Lin Yi asked jokingly.

Gongsun Chenghua said with a smile: "No name in the nine streams, the end of the ten families."
