Chapter 49 The Hundred Elephants Gate

"Yes, you have already stepped into the state of enlightenment." The old drunkard nodded with a smile, and then said with a restrained smile: "Although your character is still a little impetuous, you still have perseverance, otherwise I would rather wait for a hundred years and wait for you to die. , and then take away the luck stone, you will never be allowed to practice. You must know that cultivating immortals is hard work and difficult.

If you don't keep your feet on the ground, practice hard step by step, and just rely on your own excellent aptitude, it is impossible to go too far.The old man was young and arrogant back then, and took a lot of detours.

But Shangguan Chouchou was still muttering to himself: "So it's so easy to cultivate an immortal? You can just lie down and play."

When the old drunkard got angry, flames appeared on his body, and the flames erupted, directly attacking Shangguan Chouchou.

Shangguan Chouchou was no longer a mortal body, his body suddenly stiffened, he leaned back to the sky, and used an iron bridge to avoid the old drunkard's attack flexibly.

However, the flames swirled in the air and formed a ball of fire, which fell rapidly from mid-air with a strong pressure, making Shangguan Chou Chou unavoidable.He only felt a chill in his vest, and watched helplessly as the fireball hit his face.However, the moment the fireball was about to approach him, it stopped abruptly.

"Although the sect that the old man belongs to is an orthodox sect, I don't insist on the three rules, six laws and nine precepts. But if you endanger the world in the future and bring disaster to the world. Hmph, don't let me stop it. I can't spare you first." The old drunkard said in a stern voice, with a rare solemnity on his face.

Shangguan Chouchou stuck out his tongue.

The old drunkard snorted coldly and said: "Don't take it lightly, there are many selfish demons and monsters in the world of cultivation, and there are also many meddling righteous people. If you step on the wrong path, you will ask for trouble."

Only then did Shangguan Chouchou put away his cynical attitude and lowered his head to show he was taught.

"Do you feel anything?" asked the old drunkard.

"What induction?" Shangguan Chouchou asked in astonishment.

"Heavenly Induction, when breaking through the Aperture Realm, there are many people who have it." The old drunkard reminded.

Shangguan Chouchou thought of the woman he saw just now, and immediately said firmly: "No, nothing." Don't talk nonsense, as long as you know some things yourself.

"Really?" The old drunkard was a little disappointed, but he didn't get to the bottom of it. "You are now in the 'Tongqiao Realm'. But the Qi training method you cultivated can only be regarded as second-rate in our sect. Most of the disciples in the sect are unwilling to choose this method to enter the Tao, but I let you practice this. Do you know why? ?”

Shangguan Chouchou cursed secretly in his heart: "You fooled me with second-rate exercises, and you asked me why." But his expression immediately changed from the open-mindedness just now to an ignorant one, shaking his head to express that he didn't know.

"In all qi exercises, they actually pay attention to 'integrating energy'. They only cultivate qi, not self-cultivation. However, this qi training method combines qi training and body training. The body training technique is not very helpful for opening the orifices. I took a detour to practice. But back then, there was an expert who chose this technique among many advanced exercises. Then he practiced the Tao and achieved a world-renowned reputation."

Shangguan Chouchou rolled his eyes, hehe said: "That expert can't be you, don't tell me you didn't take the shortcut, but let your disciples repeat the same mistakes, it's really misleading your disciples."

The old drunkard said respectfully: "That expert's name is 'Zhang Wuzhao'."

Shangguan Chouchou replied: "Show your teeth and claws, what a good name."

The old drunkard ignored him.He just used spells to control the underground soil and carved two statues.The one on the right is smiling, with a disrespectful, old-fashioned look on his face, it is the person on the patriarch's token.The other is a dusty face, without the slightest smoke and fire, a master of Taoism.

The old drunkard turned his head to Shangguan Chouchou and said with a serious face: "Shangguan Yangzheng, would you like to join my sect? Do you want me to be your teacher?"

Shangguan Chouchou nodded hastily upon hearing this, isn't this nonsense.If cultivating immortals was still a myth in his eyes before, now that he has embarked on the road of cultivating immortals, he realizes that this world is so extraordinary, and there is no reason to hesitate.

The old drunkard walked beside the statue without any smoke, and he first bowed and said: "The No. 19 disciple of the Baixiangmen, Jiang Yingyue, here today lists Shangguan Yangzheng as the No. 20 successor of our sect. Patriarch, I ask Patriarch to agree."

After finishing speaking, he turned his face sideways and told Shangguan Chouchou to kneel down, while the old drunkard bowed three times and nine times to the Taoist statue himself.

Shangguan Chouchou knew that he was apprenticed to a teacher, so he imitated his example and kowtowed like an old drunkard.

The old drunkard laughed at the old man again, bowing three times and kowtowing nine times, but Shangguan was ugly and clever, so he hurriedly followed suit.

The old drunk got up, sat under the statue, and asked Shangguan Chouchou to bow to himself according to the etiquette just now.

Shangguan Chouchou kowtowed twice in a row, and he was familiar with it, so he saluted the old drunkard respectfully.

"Okay, good boy." The old drunk nodded approvingly.

"Master!" Shangguan Chouchou bowed respectfully to the old drunk again.

The old drunkard said with a smile: "Since you have entered our sect, I want you to know who the patriarch of our sect is. The statue on the left is the patriarch of our sect, whose name is 'Wan San'. The descendants respectfully call him 'Old Wanyuan' Ancestor'. On the right is the ninth generation patriarch of our sect, the ancestor of Zhongxing who turned the tide, named Zhang Wuzhao, and he called himself 'Funny Patriarch'."

Shangguan Chouchou couldn't help choking, this was a joke of the old ancestor.The funny ancestor doesn't remember the villain's mistakes.

Seeing Shangguan Chouchou's nervous expression, the old drunk said with a smile: "Funny Patriarch is kind-hearted and likes jokes the most, otherwise he wouldn't call himself a nondescript title like 'Funny Patriarch'. Funny Patriarch is a casual person You see, his statues are all laughing and mischievous. It is recorded in the family records that he once called himself "open teeth and dance claws", so you don't have to pay attention to it. Besides, your nickname is Chou Chou, a funny clown, but it is really my hundred A disciple of the Xiangmen."

Upon hearing these words, Shangguan Chouchou immediately felt relieved, and turned into a playful smile again.

The old drunkard snorted coldly: "You can enter my sect, although it is a coincidence and your own great fortune, but it is not a tribulation."

Faced with Shangguan Chouchou's questioning eyes, the old drunkard smiled and pointed to the stones under his feet. After the two sat down, the old man began to talk: "The name of our sect is "Hundred Elephant Gate". Don't go out in the future." Outside, I don’t even know where I’m from.”

"Hundred Elephant Gate?" Shangguan Chouchou said: I heard that there is a kind of docile animal with a long nose and ears like a fan in the southernmost part of Nanzhao Kingdom. "

The old drunkard snorted coldly: "That is a relic of the wilderness, the descendant of the long-haired ancient beast in ancient times. Back then, the long-haired ancient beast was the supreme beast, and the beasts subdued them. Now the descendants have become so docile, and they really lost their ancestors. Face. Our sect is called 'Hundred Elephants', but it has nothing to do with the descendants of the ancient beast.

The image of this sect is taken from the image in the "everything in the world". The myriad phenomena refer to the various scenes listed between the heaven and the earth.

Do you know what the law of heaven is? "

"I don't know." Shangguan Chou Chou replied.

The old drunkard sighed: "I don't know, except for those people who break the way and become immortals, who in this world can really know what the way of heaven is, at most they just have a comprehension of the way of heaven.

My sect has been going on for thousands of years, and it belongs to a branch of Taoism.

Three classics of Taoism: Tao Te Ching of Lao Tzu, Chong Xu Jing of Lie Zi, and Nan Hua Jing of Zhuang Zi.

My sect is a disciple of Liezi. From now on, you should study the "Chongxu Sutra" diligently. Although this sutra does not have a profound way of cultivating immortals, it is a method of refining the mind. It pays attention to the nature of Chongxu, which will be of great benefit to your future practice.

During the heyday of our sect, except for the famous "Heaven Protecting Dao Sect" from ancient times, people from other sects would avoid three points whenever they saw their disciples.Even now, in the way of cultivating immortals, our sect can be regarded as one of the few old sects.

The origin of the name of the sect is also interesting, according to the records of the sect.When the ancestor Wanyuan practiced to Wenxian Realm, he had to comprehend the Dao of Heaven in order to break through the Dao and ascend to the Immortal Realm.Patriarch Wanyuan has always been puzzled about comprehending the way of heaven, and he doesn't know where to start.

The way of heaven is a huge problem for every immortal cultivator.

After thinking hard, the Patriarch finally thought of a way to understand the way of heaven.

Shangguan Chouchou heard that this is the secret to comprehend the way of heaven, so he quickly asked: "What method?"

The old drunkard saw that Shangguan Chouchou was so upright, he nodded with a smile and said: "The law is not passed on to the six ears, it is good for you to have such a quick mind. Listen carefully, the method that the Patriarch thinks is to learn from the 'Xiang'. understand."

"Cultivators can't find the way of heaven, but the way of heaven has made all phenomena. The patriarch thought of a way to deduce from all phenomena, and finally found the source of the way of heaven, but how could it be so easy. For example, water is an image between heaven and earth, but this image Not only can it change into vapor-liquid ice, but it can also converge into rivers, lakes and seas, or evolve into rain, snow and frost."

"To be able to pursue the ultimate of one phenomenon in one's lifetime is already very remarkable. What's the point of talking about all phenomena. What's more, the patriarch failed after studying 99 kinds of elephants. At this time, the patriarch's lifespan is only 500 years. He has already It was disheartened, and I wanted to live a happy life, but I was still unwilling, relying on the last sliver of fighting spirit, and devoted myself to the study of the way of "Xiang".

Fortunately, when studying the hundredth elephant, the patriarch got a peek at the extreme of the image. What is amazing is that the extreme of this image is also the ultimate of all phenomena.The so-called all phenomena have the same origin, the source of one phenomenon is also the source of all phenomena. From then on, the patriarch saw through the secrets of heaven, ushered in the nine-day fairy thunder, and finally realized Taoism and became a fairy.The Baixiang Gate got its name from this.

"It turns out that cultivating immortals can't be done without great perseverance." Shangguan Chouchou couldn't help sighing when he heard this.

The old drunkard said: "In the past few thousand years, those who have been able to achieve Taoism and become immortals are not amazingly talented, but it is still not enough to have supreme aptitude and wisdom. The ancestor almost exhausted his life in order to study elephants. Yuan, if it wasn't for the last chance and coincidence, and finally got a glimpse of the Dao, the patriarch would have turned into a pile of loess long ago."

Shangguan Chouchou nodded in agreement beside him.

The old drunkard said: "Perhaps the descendants of the sect saw the suffering of the ancestor cultivating immortals, and they attached great importance to the four words of chance and luck. Later, someone really found a strange stone."

"Lucky Stone?" Shangguan Chouchou said.

The old drunkard nodded and said: "It's exactly this thing. After the descendants get this thing, the chances and luck can't be increased. With the efforts of these people, our Baixiang Sect has gradually prospered, and from this we can often produce some people who are hopeful to become immortals." , and the deeds of our family's attainment of Taoism and immortality have never been broken, but the luck stone may not always bring people good luck.

The Dark Nightmare Sect raid was just one of them.

After that, many problems appeared one after another.

Some Elder Tianhuan and Elder Earth Huan fought to death for no reason during their practice.

Those most promising direct disciples went mad and died for unknown reasons.

The realm of many great monks of the sect stagnated, their life energy was exhausted, and they died in depression.

There is also the question that the seniors in the fairyland lost their minds and became disabled when they could not comprehend the way of heaven.

From top to bottom, from the inside to the outside of the Baixiang Gate, almost everyone was in trouble, making people panic.It's also when the disaster is imminent. Let's fly separately. Those who feel that there is still hope in the sect will also disperse like birds and beasts. They would rather do a casual practice than stay in the Baixiang sect.

In this way, the foundation of the sect was also destroyed, and it has since turned from prosperity to decline.

In fact, until today, we are still not sure whether the fortune stone has no power, or this fortune stone will really bring bad luck.

By the time of the funny ancestor, there were only a few people left in the entire sect who were still supporting the sect.Most of the secret arts of the school have also lost their inheritance.Fortunately, the few remaining people pieced together the orthodox exercises of our sect piece by piece. "

"The funny old ancestor saw that the sect had become so unbearable, and realized that perhaps the sect was relying too much on the fortune stone. After learning from the pain, he decided to give up the fortune stone.

Later you also know that the few remaining people at that time opposed this practice, and the fortune stone has been able to continue to this day.

Alas, the funny ancestor has long let go of his luck, but others can't let go. The four characters of "being lucky" may be a weakness that immortals, Buddhas and mortals have. "The old drunk suddenly sighed, his face full of loneliness.

"The few remaining people finally reached an agreement. Everyone made a strict order in the name of the funny ancestor. The descendants of the next generation, unless it is absolutely necessary, are not allowed to use this token. Only when the sect encounters a catastrophe, it is allowed to use it at the critical moment of life and death.

At that time, the dead horse is used as a living horse doctor, so it doesn't matter to use the fortune stone.

Now that you know the past of the sect, you should understand that it may not be a good thing for you to refine the 'Fortune Stone'. "

When Shangguan Chouchou heard that he was wearing such an evil thing, he felt very bleak and cold in his heart.

Seeing Shangguan Chouchou's nervous expression, the old drunk said with a chuckle, "What else is there to be nervous about? The sky is falling and you will be supported by a tall man. A car must have a way to the front of the mountain, and a boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge. Let’s talk when it doesn’t work.”

Shangguan Chouchou's transformation was extremely fast. Hearing what the old drunkard said, he suddenly became heartless, with an expression of passing by, a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.

The old drunkard saw his relaxed face and didn't take it seriously, he didn't know what to say for a while, so he just smiled and said: "You are quite simple."
