Chapter Thirty-Six: The Blessed Land and the Cave
According to the record in the book donated by Wen Zhong, this Dinghai Pearl has the power of connecting heaven and earth, and ordinary people can obtain it, and it can also be protected by ten thousand Buddhas. Or it is obtained by people in the Dao Gate or the Liberation Gate, and you can summon the heavenly soldiers and gods, and you can move at will. In the event of evil, it can also shine by itself, drive away evil spirits, practice for a day, can be compared to ordinary people practice for a year. At the same time, you can also see the five aggregates, gain insight into Vipassana, and greatly increase your skills.
If it is opposed to the Dust Sword, both are greatly reduced in efficacy, and many functions cannot be played. For example, the interdependence of yin and yang is mutually restrained.
If the person's exercise is enough to combine the two treasures, then the respective effects can be enhanced infinitely, and they can penetrate the heavens and the earth, calling the wind and rain, and their skills will move with it. Achieve the supreme state of forgetting things and self and becoming one.
At present, the cultivation of martial arts has not yet reached the realm of perfection, so if the two are placed in the same room, the sword will not stop, the humming sound will not stop, and the Dinghai Pearl will also temporarily lose its luster, dull and colorless.
On this day, Zang Butian sent an invitation letter from Shandong, and as soon as he received it, his phone call also came at the same time, as if it was an appointment, and every second was not bad.
However, it is 36 cave heavens, 72 blessed lands, a total of 108 cave masters will hold an alliance on the top of Qingcheng Mountain in three months, when all the great powers will gather at the top of the old sky to elect the new alliance leader.
The old alliance leader, Mr. Gu Zhishan, suddenly ascended to the sky a week ago, so the cave masters decided to elect a virtuous person to be the new alliance leader.
I asked, "Brother Zang already has an idea?"
Zang Butian said: "Brother Sanyao is transparent, and nothing can escape your eyes." Previously, the ancient cave master once said that a hundred years later, when the legend is located in me. Who knew that he left suddenly, leaving not a word. Right now, all the cave masters are eyeing and eager to try, so I need you to come and help me discuss the big plan. ”
The term "Dongtian blessed land" has always been regarded as a description and generalization, but in fact, the ancient sages of China have long contained China's mountains and rivers in their hearts, and subdivided the mountains, rivers and peaceful lands within the reach of these dragon veins in the vast land of China.
Confucianism established academies in the mountains and forests, accepted disciples, and taught the study of sexual reason; Taoism used famous mountains and rivers as blessed land, built palaces and buildings, alchemized and took medicine, and attained Taoism and ascended to immortals; Buddhism also used remote and secluded places as missionary dojos, built temples in the jungle, preached the scriptures, and meditated to become Buddhas.
In the land of China, there are all kinds of academies, Taoist temples, temples and famous Buddhist mountains, Taoist mountains and scenic mountains.
36 blessed lands and 72 cave heavens are all real references, and there are very clear and definite rankings.
The immortals inhabit the three islands of the ten continents and countless caves and calamities. The three islands of ten continents are on the sea, the three islands are Penglai, Abbot, Yingzhou, and the blessed land of the cave is in the land, with a total of ten major caves, thirty-six small caves, and seventy-two blessed lands.
The sages of Taoism are like watching the fire, the heavens and the blessed earth have immortals or real people to rule, during which most of them are the places where the immortals and real people have attained the Tao, many people in the Taoist sect in history have come here to form grass for the house, and cultivate the Tao into immortals, and later these places have successively established the Taoist official concept of cultivation, sacrifice and religious activities.
The Taoist classics "Hug Puzi Inner Chapter" and "True Message" both say that if you want to seek immortals, you must climb the mountain to beg, live in the mountain or combine medicine.
Ge Hong Immortal Master quoted the Immortal Sutra, which mentioned Huashan, Taishan, Huoshan, Heng Mountain, Songshan, Shaomu Mountain, Changshan, Taibai Mountain, Zhongnan Mountain, Daughter Mountain, Dilung Mountain, Wangwu Mountain, Baoqian Mountain, Anqiu Mountain, Qianshan, Qingcheng Mountain, Emei Mountain, Qishan Mountain, Yuntai Mountain, Luofu Mountain, Yangjia Mountain, Golden Mountain, Turtle Ancestor Mountain, Tiantai Mountain, Siwang Mountain, Gaizhu Mountain, Kuocang Mountain, etc. There are all sesame grass on it, which can avoid the great difficulties of the soldiers, not only in the combination of medicine in China and Israel, "many of them are the blessed land in Taoism."
Since Minister Zang has opened his mouth, this favor is naturally necessary to help.
In the blink of an eye, the three-month agreed deadline is coming.
Shan Xian stayed at the Taoist temple, and Shan Heng Shan Hao and I stepped on the plane to Chengdu together. When Senior Brother Sanji heard about this, he also wanted to go together, and he was overjoyed to have Senior Brother as his companion.
There is no table along the road.
After arriving in Chengdu, there were people sent by Minister Zang to pick them up, and after a short rest, the group went straight to Qingcheng Mountain, which was 68 kilometers away.
Qingcheng Mountain is one of the ten major caves, with a long history, and has always been a place where people who cultivate the Tao and fly immortals must live. For thousands of years, there have been countless Taoist disciples who have sought immortals and visited the Tao here, and there are countless people who have attained the Tao.
At that time, the ancestor Zhang Daoling also practiced in this mountain and subdued the demons, so Qingcheng Mountain has always been one of the four famous mountains of Taoism.
When he arrived at the Qingcheng Mountain Gate, Senior Brother Sanji said, "Senior brother, do you think there is anything special about this mountain gate?"
I knew that my senior brother must have a high opinion, so I immediately said, "I would like to hear my senior brother's teaching." ”
"Qingcheng Mountain is the fifth cave heaven among the ten cave heavens, and it is a mountain with a heavy hill and a mountain that stretches for thousands of miles. There are seventy-two small holes in this mountain, and there should be seventy-two waits, and the eight big holes are according to eight sections. The strange flowers in the mountain are showing, the different grasses are contending, the scenery is quiet, the people are not able to move, it is the real place of cultivation. ”
"The main peak of Qingcheng Mountain, Laoxiaoding, is 1,260 meters above sea level. This mountain is surrounded by undulating peaks, lush and verdant forests, and enjoys the beautiful transcript of "Qingcheng is secluded in the world". After more than 2,000 years since the Eastern Han Dynasty, in the second year of Emperor Shun of the Eastern Han Dynasty (143 AD), Zhang Daoling, the "Heavenly Master", came to Qingcheng Mountain, selected the deep and secluded Hanbi of Qingcheng Mountain, and preached with Mao, and Qingcheng Mountain became the birthplace of Taoism.
In his later years, the ancestor of the Heavenly Master appeared in Qingcheng Mountain and feathered here. Since then, Qingcheng Mountain has become the ancestral mountain of the Heavenly Master's Dao, and all generations of Heavenly Masters from all over the country have come to Qingcheng Mountain to worship the ancestral court. Qingcheng Mountain is said to belong to the Zhengyi sect of the Southern Heavenly Master. ”
After the senior brother finished speaking, he wiped his hair proudly, as if he had just won the Nobel Prize.
Shan Hao has always been familiar with his senior brother, and joked: "Uncle Shi, we all know what you said." Is there anything we don't know about it, and it also opens the eyes of our two teachers and nephews. ”
Senior Brother Sanji smiled: "It's not big or small, and I don't know how to be humble at all." ”
Not long after, Zang Butian rushed to arrive, shouting that he was missing, and walked to him in three steps and two steps.
I introduced him and Senior Brother Sanji, and Zang Butian said happily: "The two Taoist masters are together, and I have more confidence in my heart." ”
The group of five people went up, and it took about two hours to reach the top of Laoxiao Peak.
The main peak is Lao Xiaofeng, and there is a cold pool at the foot of the mountain that is bubbling with white gas, and there are more than a dozen small fish that are covered in snow and bright, crystal clear, and the size of a palm are swimming happily.
A group of people scattered around, and when Zang Butian arrived, many people came over to greet him warmly.
Zang Butian pointed to a white-clothed young man standing far away and said, "That person is the son of the old alliance leader, Gu Daolin." ”
