Chapter 598: The Technique of Upper Clearing
"The Tao is natural, and heaven and man are one. There is no virtue in the upper way, and there is only virtue in the lower way. Forty-nine is a fixed number, and a glimmer of life is gone. My morality is to intercept one line and derive six paths. ”
When Liang Bing restored the granite screen at the entrance with the Time Gem, this passage was engraved on the screen, and the source of this sentence was also indicated in the lower left corner of the screen, which was one of the three clears. Master of the Babel Sect.
Liang Bing raised his hand and touched the screen, then turned his head to Xiao Yuebai and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Looking at the little sister-in-law who didn't take what she said to heart at all, Xiao Yuebai was suddenly unhappy, only to see him, an almost 100-year-old "old man", tilt his head, pout and complain:
"I'm a mascot, and the mascot can't speak!"
The man's words instantly made Liang Bing feel a feeling of lifting a stone and hitting his own feet, and after glancing at Xiao Yuebai with disgust, Kaisha, who had already gone around behind the screen, suddenly spoke.
"Yuebai, come and help me see, what do these words mean?"
"Come on!" Hearing his daughter-in-law call herself, Xiao Yuebai shouted directly and ran to the back of the screen, and sure enough, there was a paragraph behind the screen.
"Building the avenue is holy, although I am holy, but the audience is suffering and can't bear to abandon it, so I built the interception of the Qing Dynasty."
"The intention is to light up the vitality for all sentient beings, so the disciples who enter my sect do not look at their backgrounds or qualifications, and anyone who can pass me through the illusory heart array I have laid can be my disciples and pass on my Shangqing Taoism."
"However, if you fail to pass the battle, don't be discouraged, in order to respond to my teachings of the Qing Interception Sect, you will leave a glimmer of life with you, and you can enter the list of registered disciples under my sect and pass on my technique of intercepting the Great Dao."
"The disciples who wish to be in the inner door and who are named need to keep in mind that the importance of cultivation lies in cultivating the mind, and only when the heart is firm can we see the way of vitality."
After reading this paragraph, which is also the text of the Tongtian Sect Master, Xiao Yuebai thought about it carefully, and then explained to the three women beside him:
"I almost understand the matter of interception."
Xiao Yuebai's words suddenly surprised the three women around him, although they had inherited their respective powers, no one dared to directly say that they could understand, but now Xiao Yuebai said that he understood.
Seeing the three women looking at him with strange eyes, Xiao Yuebai hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I just based on this passage, I understand why I said that the sect is good at formations." ”
The three girls immediately breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and in their expectant eyes, Xiao Yuebai told them what he thought.
First of all, the paragraph in front of the screen has been very obvious that the Shangqing Sect is also a kind of Taoist cultivation, and their cultivation methods may be different from Taiqing and Yuqing in concept, but their cultivation methods may be the same, of course, this is Xiao Yuebai's guess, what the truth is, it doesn't matter anymore.
The important thing is the words behind the screen, which conveys a lot of information.
First, it is certain that the interior of the Shangqing Sect must be divided into two levels, one is the introductory disciple, who belongs to the heart and soul of the sect leader.
The other faction is the registered disciples, and the back of the screen also says that accepting them as registered disciples is to make their behavior conform to their own teachings, not to block everyone's desire to seek the truth, and to give a little sweetness.
This corresponds to the teachings of the Shangqing Sect, the Shangqing Sect Master is the fifty avenue, and the disciples who enter the room are the forty-nine of Tianyan, and the rest of the registered disciples are the glimmers of life left.
The second point, Xiao Yuebai thinks that the key point is the technique of intercepting the Great Dao of the sect, which is actually the technique of the formation.
Judging from the cultivation methods inherited by the previous four people, the way of Taiqing requires a strong will, the method of Yuqing requires the talent of understanding Xuan energy (which can be understood as qi, magic, internal force or true yuan), and the demon cultivation requires extremely creative imagination, and even the witch cultivation inherited by Xiao Yuebai requires strong bones and bodies.
So as the Shangqing Dao method, which is known as intercepting the first line of life of the avenue, what talent is needed? Don't say you don't need it, if you don't need it, there will be no mediocrity in the Pangu civilization.
And as a netherworld that specializes in dealing with the physical death of monks, it has completely lost its role.
Since talent is required, then there is a certain conflict with the teachings of the Shangqing, because they want to leave a path for all the people of the Pangu civilization to seek the Tao.
So no matter how you look at it, Xiao Yuebai feels that the formation should be Shangqing. Tongtian Sect Master, left to those who have no talent in the Pangu civilization to pursue the path of the spell.
After telling the three women the key to this, they suddenly felt a sudden understanding.
Because it is indeed like Xiao Yuebai said, because the Pangu civilization was originally born in the universe, there was abundant energy in the entire universe for them to use and squander, so compared to obtaining power, it paid more attention to how to use power without being affected by power.
This is the fundamental reason why they pay more attention to cultivating the mind and the Tao, rather than how to gain strength.
Looking around, the thatched huts surrounded by large open spaces like large squares, Xiao Yuebai thought carefully and said:
"I guess... If we look in these clearings, we should be able to find some of their records about the formation, and if there is, it should support my suspicions. ”
Hearing this, the four of them dispersed and began to follow Xiao Yuebai's train of thought, looking for clues about the formation.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the four of them to disperse, and less than half an hour after the four of them dispersed, Hexi's voice rang out: "Come here, I have found something here." ”
Hearing this, the other three hurriedly walked over, only to see that Hexi was squatting next to a square stone mole at this moment, not knowing what he was doing.
Feeling that his friends were coming, Hexi turned around and said to Xiao Yuebai: "Old Xiao, come here, I don't know the words on it, look at what is written on it." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Yuebai hurriedly went over and squatted down next to Hexi, and read out the already vague self on the stone stone that Hexi was pointing to:
"The cold ice array, the practice of Xuan Gong is called the cold ice, and a sword mountain condenses up and down. If the gods meet in this battle, even the belt bones have no basis. ”
"What do you mean?" *3
Three crisp voices came into Xiao Yuebai's ears at the same time, and in the face of their questions, Xiao Yuebai also shrugged helplessly, pointed to the poem on the stone tablet and said:
"It's very simple, it literally, this formation will condense countless ice blades and put people to death, even if the immortals come, they will be separated from the flesh and bones."
After listening to the man's words, three sisters, look at me, I look at you, and there is one idea in my heart at the same time, is the so-called formation to create countless ice blades?
At this time, Xiao Yuebai also saw the expressions of the three of them for a while, hung his head helplessly, and explained:
"Don't forget, as I said before, this formation may be used by ordinary people of the Pangu civilization, and it is already remarkable to create infinite ice blades with the power of a single person."
The three sisters glanced at each other again, Xiao Yuebai raised his hand to cover his face, and then turned to the three sisters and said, "You see, if there is anything else around, or strange lines, let's see if we can find any formations." ”
As the words fell, the four of them scattered again and began to search for the stele, and after a few more minutes, Keisha suddenly spoke:
"Found it!"
Hearing this, the other three hurried over, and looked at Keisha's fingers, and sure enough, there was an arc on the ground, but when they looked into the distance along the arc, the three of them were immediately disappointed.
In the middle of the clearing, a huge rock was standing there, and it was obvious that someone had destroyed the place.
