692. Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles
Ishino used the inscription of the main hall of the mystical temple and the lintel inscription of the Ten Thousand Variation Sect to describe the origin of these two factions. Lu Qian's expression moved slightly, as if he was recalling and thinking about something, and after a while, he spoke: "There is one more thing, the Lord of the Shi Alliance and President Cheng have probably never heard of it. Zhengyi Tang Dynasty patriarch Liu Hai has a close relationship with the mysterious audience masters, and they have also discussed together. In a diary he left behind, it was mentioned that there was a set of secret transmission of demon cultivation techniques in the Xuanmiao Temple......"
Bangs are the folk legends of the Liu Hai Toad, he is the ancestor of the Zhengyi Mei Zhenyi disciple of the disciple, in the past, the folk can often see the "Liu Hai play Jin Toad" as the theme of the New Year's painting. Liu Hai lived in the era, the environment is completely different from the modern society, although the city outline is densely populated, the Central Plains to the south of the Yangtze River there are a large area of splendid prosperity, but from the perspective of modern people, a large area of the countryside is still vast and sparsely populated, many places are like wilderness.
In the land of Kyushu, the primitive ecology and the distribution of people are intertwined, and there are many demon cultivators who are human in the world and demons in the mountains. When they saw that the population was prosperous and enjoyed, they turned into human forms and mixed in the market, and accidentally caused some trouble, so they hid in the mountains and continued to practice demon law, or changed their names and surnames and left the country. Therefore, the monks at that time regarded the subjugation of demons and the elimination of demons as a merit in the world, and Liu Hai was also good at this way, so he made friends with the mysterious audience masters, and also confirmed each other to learn the way of subduing demons, so I heard one thing.
Xuanmiaoguan has a set of secret transmission of demon cultivation methods, which only the heads of the past generations and the elders in charge of the Dao Dharma inheritance in the inner hall of the sect know about it. As for the rest of the disciples, only before the Dacheng monk travels or goes out to the mountains to subdue demons on behalf of the master, can they refer to and study. What they sometimes see is not the hand-me-down texts with the idea of the gods, but only the teachers explain them with the thoughts of the gods.
Xuanmiaoguan is also known as the demon gate, how can there be a demon cultivation inheritance if you specialize in demon suppression? In fact, this is not a kind of rumor, the bangs who recorded this matter explained it like this: The masters of the Demon Suppression Gate in the past dynasties are not counted, and the demon cultivation in the world is ever-changing. The general took shape into a human form and infiltrated the cultivation of the demons in the red dust, and realized the way of the same end in order to control them.
This set of recipes is not left by the founding patriarch of the Xuanmiaoguan, nor is it original to one person, but the summary of the masters of the past generations. They had encountered all kinds of monsters, and the vast majority of them were those who had turned into human forms and mixed with the red dust. Demon cultivators have different backgrounds, different talents, and magical powers, and they are all on the path of self-enlightenment and cultivation, and the spells they practice are also strange.
However, the masters of the Xuanmiaoguan Dynasty have seen too much, so they summarized the law. Point out the different paths and common points of cultivation of these monsters. For a sect like Xuanmiaoguan, it is inevitable that the masters of the past generations will make this kind of summary, because it is these opponents that they have to deal with, and they must study it thoroughly. Of course, their purpose was not to guide the demon's cultivation, but they ended up summing up a set of orthodox methods.
No one has ever practiced this technique. It is impossible for the disciples of the Xuanmiaoguan to practice, it is a method of transforming into a human form under the pretense of a demon pill and refining the form of a god. As for the demon cultivation in the world, of course, no one has cultivated this set of methods, but they are more or less familiar with each other in a certain period of practice, and it is this common practice that is confirmed by the Xuanmiao Guan masters in their repeated observations.
Since Xuan Miaoguan takes it as its mission to suppress the chaos of the world and demon cultivation, of course, it is impossible to teach this set of methods to the outside world. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a shot in the foot? And this set of recipes has two characteristics: one is that it cannot be started, it is only a theoretical summary, and it is impossible to guide a kitten and puppy to cultivate it into a demon; The second is that it cannot be passed on, which summarizes the cultivation path of monsters. It is about the incarnation of the original body and the condensation of the Xuandan.
Therefore, it is just a set of theoretical systems summarized in the observation, mainly for the guidance and reference of monks above the Xuanmiao Temple, no matter what kind of monsters they encounter outside, they all know it. But whether this set of recipes can guide the cultivation of monsters. The mystical view of the past generations of masters has not been counted in their hearts, and its roots have not been verified by practice.
If the demon cultivators in the world get this set of formulas. It may be equivalent to a kind of guidance, reviewing the gains and losses of past cultivation and the detours taken, so as to clarify the direction of cultivation in the next step. This is the secret of the town's important gate, and Liu Hai has only heard about it, so he didn't have the opportunity to see this set of demon cultivation techniques.
Why didn't Lu Qian mention this earlier? Throughout the ages, there have been a sea of anecdotes in the Kunlun cultivation world, and this matter is just a very inconspicuous passage in the notes left by Liu Hai, and Liu Hai people don't know what that set of tricks is going on. How many things have happened throughout the ages, just the secret classics of the main door have more important, more noteworthy and thoughtful content, if it weren't for the fact that everyone talked about these today, Lu Qian really wouldn't have said it specifically.
After he finished speaking, he and Ishino both looked at Cheng Tianle, their eyes meaningful. Hearing this, Cheng Tianle was also extremely shocked, frowning and pondering for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Daoist Lu Qian, since there is a secret transmission of demon cultivation techniques in the Demon Suppression Gate, has there been any demon cultivators who have tried to get it for thousands of years?" β
Lu Qian shook his head and said: "This is the secret of the mystical view, and I can't know too much about it, but Patriarch Liu Hai has heard of such a thing occasionally, and he will definitely not spread it." The demon cultivators in the world don't know, so where can they talk about trying to get it? β
Cheng Tianle asked again: "So for thousands of years, the Demon Suppression Gate is famous, is there any demon cultivator who tries to sneak into it and get their cultivation secrets?" β
It seems very reasonable to ask this question, the mystical view studies monsters, so the demon cultivators in the world will not study the mystical view of the Tao? Ishino replied with a smile: "It's too late to hide, don't you think you died fast enough!" How many thieves have you seen running from the police station to steal something? β
Cheng Tianle blinked his eyes and said stupidly: "You can disguise yourself as a police officer and sneak in, it sounds quite bold, but for so long, someone has really tried to do this!" β
Lu Qian also smiled: "I forgot to say one thing just now, but Mr. Cheng should also be clear." Xuan Miaoguan not only takes the suppression of demons as his own responsibility, but of course he is also good at observing all kinds of demon cultivators in the world, and he is most familiar with the characteristics of various demon cultivators in the world, and it is not easy to go there to conceal his identity, and the average demon cultivator may not even move this thought. If you really want to find trouble, you can deal with its lone disciples outside, or, as in the end, when it is decaying, you can go directly to the door to seek revenge. β
Ishino: "When Mr. Cheng said that, I suddenly remembered a story. It's not a record of any cultivation classics, but from a folk field history notebook, which contains many ghost fox legends, which my master borrowed from the library and threw to me. One of the stories involves Suzhou Xuanmiaoguan, which has a Taoist priest named Wei Chengzhong, and he has an apprentice named Dong Bochuan. β
Lu Qian interjected: "During the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, Wei Chengzhong was indeed the head of the Xuanmiaoguan faction, and Dong Bochuan was his personal disciple. As for any folk tales, I haven't heard of them. β
Ishino: "The travel notes and practice experiences of the predecessors of the Zhengyi Sect are to guide the disciples of later generations to practice, and they are listed as the most important, and there is no way to have too much gossip, nor is it writing about fasting. But the folk notes on wild history are different, this story does not mention that Xuanmiaoguan is a school of Kunlun cultivation, but only talking about Dong Bochuan.
Dong Bochuan served his mother to filial piety, worshiped Wei Taoist as a teacher but did not become a monk in the Taoist temple, until his cultivation became a great success, and he served his mother in his hometown. This is a story of filial piety, but Dong Bochuan is mentioned in another story. When he returned to Suzhou from his hometown, he found a monster entering and leaving the market to bewitch the world, and everyone did not notice it, but he saw through it at a glance, so he killed it......"
The more Cheng Tianle listened, the more he became engrossed, leaning forward and his butt was about to leave the chair. This is obviously Yu Daoyang's experience back then, the name of the enemy sword cultivator who had sneak attack was Dong Bochuan! Yu Daoyang listened to Cheng Tianle's introduction to today's world affairs, the Xuan Miao Temple has become an open tourist attraction, and the Wei Taoist Temple has long been abandoned, and he also sighed.
Having said this, the outline of something has gradually become clear in Cheng Tianle's mind, and the past that Yu Daoyang didn't have time to say is all completed at this moment. Yu Daoyang made a feud with someone in Liaodong and was hunted down and killed by Dong Bochuan, a disciple of Xuanmiaoguan, and Yu Daoyang was not his opponent.
But Yu Daoyang is probably the most daring and thoughtful demon cultivator that Cheng Tianle has ever seen, he is good at danger, very ambitious, and unexpected, as can be seen from the fact that he was able to lay such a trap on Shantang Street during his hasty escape. Moreover, he also has the heart to drive and gather demons in the world, and when he encounters Dong Bochuan, Yu Daoyang will inevitably have thoughts.
There is such a sect as Xuanmiaoguan, and there is such an enemy as Dong Bochuan, which is a big trouble for Yu Daoyang. If he wants to realize his ambitions and aspirations, the first thing he has to guard against is the mystical view. This old toad is good at military studies, and knows the truth of surviving in dangerous places and darkness under the lights, so he fled to Suzhou without going anywhere.
The art of war "knows oneself and knows one's opponent, and is invincible in a hundred battles", Yu Daoyang must have managed to contact and make friends with the disciples of the Xuanmiaoguan in Suzhou, and may even have entered the cultivation of the Xuanmiaoguan as an ordinary person. Why did Yu Daoyang dare to do this, because at that time, he was already a master and was the best at restraining demonic energy. The secret method of restraining demonic qi that Cheng Tianle learned was taught by Yu Daoyang, and now Wu Yanqing can cultivate it to a near-perfect and almost flawless Cheng dΓΉ, let alone the people of Daoyang back then.
In addition to this matter, Yu Daoyang is also a scheming and resourceful person, ordinary cultivation disciples are really not opponents with him, and more importantly, no one would have imagined that any demon cultivator would dare to do this? Now it seems that Yu Daoyang was at least partially successful back then, he learned the Demon Lock Array and the Spirit Binding Seal, and I don't know how to accidentally get the secret transmission of the demon cultivation method!
Xuan Miao Temple and Wei Taoist Temple are both Taoist temples, and Yu Daoyang later became a monk in Suzhou, how did a monk break into the Taoist gang? Future generations don't know, in short, the old toad does have scheming and something. It may be the identity of this monk that gives Yu Daoyang an excuse not to be in the Xuanmiaoguan Dojo often, so as to better disguise his origin.
