Chapter 10 Listen to Zixiao Palace
Zhou Cheng got out of Qingqiu Mountain, shook his body, changed back to his ordinary and simple green robe, and flew to the outer sky that day. It's just that the Zixiao Palace is the place where the saint preached, and it is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Those who reach it are destined.
Zhou Cheng Shi Ran took a step forward, and suddenly appeared thirty-three days away, only to see that this place was empty, and there were some similarities with the chaotic time, but there was a lack of the raging chaotic airflow. Nothingness is Zhou Cheng's greatest feeling for thirty-three days away. Although Zhou Cheng was thirty-three days away, he didn't know where the Zixiao Palace was in this vast and boundless sky.
Just when Zhou Cheng was hesitating, a simple building with blue bricks and gray walls suddenly appeared in front of him. The area of the Taoist temple is not large, there is no door, but the position where the door should be vacant is a rectangular door-shaped frame, and on the door-shaped frame, there are three big characters in the center: Zixiao Palace
In front of Zixiao Palace, several stone steps meander down, but it is really a simple avenue, and it is extraordinary, Zhou Cheng sighed. Zhou Cheng walked up the stairs while thinking about what the situation would be next. Don't let them preempt too much, at least they have to occupy a place as a disciple in the room. But he can't be too promising, and he doesn't want to try the feeling of hitting the first bird.
When I entered the Zixiao Palace, I saw that the palace was simply arranged, and in a small courtyard, there were already several people standing sparsely. On a small high platform in front of him, a futon was empty, and there were two white-clothed boys standing behind the futon. There were six empty seats in front of the small high platform, but no one had taken a seat.
When the people in the courtyard saw that there were people coming again, they all came up to salute. After some greetings, Zhou Cheng also knew those characters. Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu, the white-eyed person is also. The original dress is exquisite, and he has an auspicious atmosphere, but in Zhou Cheng's opinion, it is inevitably clichΓ©. There is a black-clothed Taoist next to him, with two long eyebrows like swords, bold and atmospheric, but he is the Taoist who leads to heaven. There is also the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, who is holding the Eastern Emperor Bell and standing side by side with the emperor; Later, a black-clothed Taoist with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks was that Kunpeng. There are also a few others that Zhou Cheng has heard of, such as Hongyun Dao Chief, Zhen Yuanzi and others. It's just that I didn't see Nuwa and Fuxi, and a few people who were introduced and Zhun Ti, but they hadn't arrived yet.
"Haha, in the next session of Jiexiu Zhou Cheng, I call myself Qinglian Daoist, and I have seen you." Zhou Cheng made a move.
When Lao Tzu saw Zhou Cheng, he immediately had some doubts, and turned to look at the primordial and Tongtian, both of whom shook their heads, saying that they had never heard of this person.
"Taoist friends don't need to be polite, this time Teacher Hongjun has a successful practice, opening the palace [***], it is a great opportunity, everyone is good to listen to the lecture, if there is success, it will not be in vain." Lao Tzu returned the salute, and Zhou Cheng's humility made Sanqing feel somewhat favored. But a few people from the demon clan only said lightly: "Daoist friends have seen the ceremony!" "Hmph, the temper is much more than the ability, Zhou Cheng secretly thought.
Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi are good people after all, and they all stepped forward and said, "Daoist friends came in time, and there will be a good position later." β
A few people were still waiting to talk about it in detail, when the boy on the stage suddenly said: "The teacher is about to start speaking, all the Taoist friends sit in their respective positions, and they are noisy." When they heard this, they all looked at the five positions. Everyone understands that since people have to sit in their own positions, the higher forward they are, the better.
Everyone didn't dare to use spells in Zixiao Palace, so the competition began. Sanqing united and instantly squeezed away the three demon clans who wanted to snatch the top three positions. When the three demon clans stabilized their bodies and were about to grab again, the top three positions had been firmly seated by Sanqing. What's bad is that there is no longer even the fourth position, it turns out that Zhou Cheng is sitting on it. Originally, Zhou Cheng couldn't sit in the fourth position, because Zhen Yuanzi was in front, but Zhen Yuanzi was really a good person, and when he saw that Zhou Cheng was still behind him, he looked at the position with his eyes blank, and then let go, sat down to the fifth, and gave the fourth to Zhou Cheng.
Hongyun has been following Zhen Yuanzi, so he took the opportunity to sit in the sixth position. When the three demon clans saw that their positions were all gone, they had to glare at Sanqing fiercely, and then sat cross-legged in the open space behind the red cloud.
Just when Zhou Cheng thought that everyone was sitting and Hongjun started to speak, four more people came in outside. Zhou Cheng turned sideways and asked Zhen Yuanzi, who was coming. Zhen Yuanzi patiently introduced, and it turned out that the four people were the late Nuwa Fuxi, who was leading and Zhun Ti.
Nuwa's delicate spirit, Fuxi's elegance. The rich state of the lead, but Zhun Ti has a thin face, small eyes and a long nose. When Nuwa saw that there was no place, she frowned slightly, and Fu Xi next to her saw it and said, "Sister, it seems that we are late, so let's sit down early, the teacher is going to start talking." β
As soon as Zhun Ti saw that there was no place, he immediately looked at the guide with an anxious face. Helplessly, sighing in a low voice, making a bitter color. Zhun Ti saw that his senior brother had no idea, so he was immediately annoyed and said: "Senior brother, how can I live now, I think the two of us have worked so hard to come here, but I don't even have a good position, it's really embarrassing for me, it's better to die." He slammed into the courtyard wall.
When others saw it, only the three demon clans and Zhou Cheng were indifferent. Zhou Cheng's face was not pale, and he didn't get up, but he said: "Daoist friends are so restive, don't be impulsive." "The demon clan didn't even bother to open their mouths.
Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun saw that they were in a hurry, and got up together and said, "Don't worry, fellow Daoists, it doesn't hurt to give up this position to you." β
As soon as Zhun Ti heard this, he immediately put away his posture, then pulled up the lead, sat down in his position, shook it from side to side, and then turned around and said, "Thank you for this time." Zhun Ti and Senior Brother thank you here. When Nuwa and Fuxi saw Zhun Ti perform like this, they all showed disdain. And the three demon clans sighed openly, regretting that they didn't know to be like them.
Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun glanced at each other helplessly, and then sat down beside the three demon clansmen, closed their eyes to recuperate, and stopped talking.
In fact, everyone is a person with advanced mana, and they are all puzzled by the appearance of a few futons in this Zixiao Palace for no reason, and under the calculation, although they don't know the essentials, they also vaguely know that the stakes are important, so they staged a farce between late students and early students.
Everyone sat down, and a few more people came behind, one of whom surprised Zhou Cheng, it turned out that the ancestral witch had arrived. I think that Houtu didn't know that his ancestor Wu didn't cultivate the Yuan Shen and didn't recite the Yellow Court, so what was the matter here? The rest of the people are all people with high mana but not very advanced people, and everyone doesn't pay attention to it. The courtyard of Zixiao Palace is very large, and although there are about 30 people seated, it is still a little sparse.
Everyone sat down, only to hear a long bell ringing, a figure flashed on the small high platform, everyone knew that it was Hongjun, everyone kowtowed, three calls to the teacher Wan'an.
"When you wait here, they are all people with great fate, I will talk about the congenital **, I hope you will gain something and achieve something." Hongjun looked at the people under the seat, and only raised his eyebrows and said: "Nuwa and Fuxi are coming, and Ci'er is waiting to sit after receiving Zhun Ti." After hearing this, the boy walked to the small high platform and set up a good position for Fuxi Nuwa. Zhou Cheng suddenly guessed, isn't the seat a symbol?
"In the future, it will be like this, the avenue is boundless, you must remember." Hongjun saw that the miscellaneous matters were over and decided to speak.
"Before the opening of heaven and earth, things were mixed, born from nature. Lonely and lonely, reading without changing, traveling around without dying, can be the mother of heaven and earth.
I don't know its name, the strong word is called the way, and the strong name is big. The big is gone, the past is far away, and the far is reversed. Therefore, the road is big, the sky is big, the earth is big, and the people are big.
There are four great realms, and all spirits live in one of them. The spirit law of the earth, the law of the earth, the law of the heavens, the law of the heavens, and the law of nature.
Under the avenue, heaven and earth are the key, and all existence is the way. Therefore, the so-called avenue is everywhere, and the road is everywhere. β
As soon as Hongjun started speaking, the performance in the audience also began. Hongjun preached, but the avenue is invisible, the master is the first, there is no change in the sky, and there is no aura surging, but there is a trace of mystery in the plainness.
Because Sanqing is transformed by the original god of Pangu, he has the legacy of opening the sky, plus a small part of Pangu's own perception of the avenue, and the old god who Sanqing also listens to. Needless to say, Zhou Cheng himself has a deep sense of the avenue, but he doesn't know much about some of the subtleties, and when he heard what Hongjun said, his heart suddenly opened, like a long drought and a rainstorm, and suddenly his whole body was cool to the pores, although his body remained unchanged and sitting, his heart was surging inexplicably.
The two of them nodded and shook their heads, sometimes showed great bitterness, and sometimes made angry gestures. Looking at Nuwa and Fuxi again, although they didn't feel much, they were also at ease. However, a few people from the demon clan and Yuanzi of Hongyun Town kept shaking their heads and sighing, what is the so-called matter? It turns out that what Hongjun said is too profound, or the blessing is not enough, but they can't understand it, and it's difficult to even write it down. The rest of the people are even more unbearable, only the soil has been hidden behind people, doing that painstaking thought.
"Teacher, dare to ask what? What is the Tao? Lao Tzu listened to Hongjun's preaching, and although he understood a lot of things in his heart, he found that he didn't understand more, so he took a hole in Hongjun's preaching and asked.
"The Word is in the heart, and it is between heaven and earth. All things are the Tao, and the Tao is all things. Hongjun replied after a moment's thought.
"Teacher, may I ask what is the path to enlightenment?" Zhou Cheng couldn't help but ask.
"There are three thousand avenues, and all of them can become enlightened."
"Can I choose a few more? Isn't that much more powerful than just choosing one? Zhou Cheng said with a watery mouth. When everyone next to them looked at it, they were all embarrassed, and they all thought: This person is not the Son of Man.
"You madman is also cool, but the thing you are greedy for is this great opportunity. I also know your original intention, the number of the avenue is fifty, the number of the heavenly performance is forty-nine, everything has a glimmer of possibility, you should slowly seek it. Hongjun actually rarely smiled, it seems that the saint is also a human being, and he also has feelings, but he is beyond the idea of good and evil in the ordinary sense. Otherwise, the saint is just a dead thing, like the rock, and even if it exists, it is like destruction.
Hongjun's sermon lasted for 1,000 years and finally stopped.
"This sermon ends here, you will go back and comprehend, and when the next lecture begins, I will inform you and others." Hongjun saw that everyone had different feelings, so he stopped talking.
"Teacher, the disciple has a question." Houtu saw that Hongjun stopped talking, and hurried out to bow down and said.
"Huh?"
"If the people of my Wu clan don't cultivate the Yuan Shen, they won't be able to attain the Tao in the end, and they dare to ask the Dao Ancestor, but there is a good plan?" Although Houtu didn't understand anything, he still didn't forget the purpose of his coming here at the critical moment.
"I already know what you think, and I have my own fate in the future, so let's retreat." Hongjun no longer looked at everyone, and walked into the inner hall of Zixiao Palace, leaving only everyone and Houtu in place.
"Hou Tu Niangniang, in the next week, I've seen it here." Zhou Cheng stepped forward and saluted Houtu.
"Hehe, Taoist friends are polite, this time there is something important in the future, so I will retreat first." Houtu heard what Hongjun said, and did not stay any longer, and then left.
Zhou Cheng doesn't mind, women, everyone has never met, and he is unknown, and there are a few gifts in return.
Then the people departed, and the matter was over.
