Chapter 18: The Scriptures
Louguandao is one of the early Taoist sects, formed in the Northern Wei Dynasty, spread to the Sui and Tang dynasties, and had a great influence in the northern and southern Sui and Tang dynasties.
The Huangchao Rebellion greatly damaged the vitality and was destroyed in the early Yuan Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty.
It respects Yin Xi as the ancestor, and Yin Xi's prototype is Guan Yin, a Taoist figure who is as famous as Lao Dan in the Spring and Autumn Period.
In the main world, inherited to this day, there are still one or two branches of the lineage, but it is no longer in the name of Louguandao.
Sima Qian wrote a biography for Lao Tzu, saying: "Lao Tzu cultivates morality, and his learning is self-concealed." After living in Zhou for a long time, seeing the decline of Zhou, he went away. At the end of the pass, Guan Ling Yin Xi said: 'The son will be hidden, and he will write a book for me. So Lao Tzu wrote the first and second chapters of the book, saying more than 5,000 words about morality, and he didn't know what it would end up with. ”
So Guan Yin then became Guan Ling Yin Xi, and the "Lao Tzu" with 5,000 words of morality became the book written by Lao Tzu for Yin Xi.
Louguan Dao was extremely famous in the Sui and Tang dynasties, that is, in this era, and was almost the head of Taoism in the north, and was ranked with the Maoshan sect in the south.
In addition to this, it is worth mentioning that the "Neidan" cultivation has already risen at this time.
"Taixuan Sutra" cloud: "There is no day and no day, and righteousness is Xuanxuan." And Yin Sheng only got five volumes, including "Morality", "Miaozhen" and "Xisheng". ”
In addition, according to the "Legend of Louguan" cited in the "Xianyuan Compilation of Pearls" and the "Legend of the True Immortal Body of the Past Generations" volume 30 of the compilation of the Louguan Taoist priests, in addition to practicing the above scriptures, the Louguan Taoist priests also preached a variety of Shangqing scriptures, such as the "Dadong True Scripture", "Huangting Neijing Sutra", "Shangqing Qiongwen Emperor Zhangjing", "Taishang Suling Cave Xuanda Miao Sutra", "Taishang Hidden Book", "Lingshu Ziwen", etc., and a few Lingbao Sutras and Three Emperor Texts.
At this time, he practiced the Inner Dan Method, explained the steps of the Inner Dan cultivation in Outer Dan terms, and began to form a system.
The cultivation method of Louguan Dao shows the characteristics of miscellaneous harvesting, that is, both Fu Gong and Dan Ding are practiced.
For example, Liang Chen "eats Qi and swallows talismans, which is wonderful, and widely Suo Dansha, and is also a bait".
Ma Jian not only knows the method of Dunjia occupancy, but also breaks the valley, takes medicine, conducts qi, and guides, and can also enslave all spirits, control the evil spirits, and drive the six Ding and twenty-four gods.
Yin Tong "served Huangjing, realgar, and asparagus for decades", and was able to treat people. Most of the other Louguan Taoist priests are like this.
However, compared with the two, taking drugs is more common among Louguan Taoists.
In the Tang Dynasty, because the Louguan Taoist Qihui (the word Pingding) had sponsored Li Yuan's uprising, Li Yuan was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he was particularly favored by Louguan Dao.
At the beginning of Wude, he repaired the palace and gave ten hectares of land to fill the foundation; He also ordered to change the view of the building to the view of the saints, with Qihui as the master, and gave the silk to fill the fast.
The Anshi Rebellion broke out during the Tianbao period, and after that, Louguandao tended to decline.
After two songs, it finally became obscure.
In the first year of Taizong Duangong of the Northern Song Dynasty, he changed the Lou Guan (Zongsheng Temple) to Shuntian Xingguo.
To the Jin Aizong Tianxing, because of the rebellion, the building was burned down.
In the Yuan Dynasty, the Quanzhen Dao was repaired and became the Quanzhen Guanyu, and the original Louguan Taoist priest was also turned into the Quanzhen Taoist.
Of course, Taoism is not a harmonious interior, and not everyone is willing to join Quanzhen, there is one in the main world, which has been secretly inherited outside, but the name of Louguandao is no longer used externally.
The above is Lin Zhengyang's main understanding of this Taoist school.
Li Tang conquered the world, and he sent his little apprentice over, and in this troubled era, it was the time to hone his skills.
As for himself, he was moved by the quiet pole and went to the building to look at the line.
"It's a pity, it's not the Overworld, it's just a projection."
After taking a walk around Louguan Road, Lin Zhengyang was tasteless.
If it is really the Louguan Dao in the history of the main world, there should be seven or eight earth immortals here, and the people who are waiting for the edict to ascend should be able to make up three or five, instead of the current situation, a large number of martial arts masters.
No matter how good the martial arts are, without the shattered realm of "brightness and sun, moon and darkness and void", there is no hope of ascending to the main world at all.
Even Zhang Guo, the famous Eight Immortals in later generations, is also practicing martial arts here.
As for Nedan······ It's not as good as Lin Zhengyang!
"I should give them a chance."
Taking pen and ink, Lin Zhengyang wrote the next scripture, discussing the martial arts realm of the shattered void.
After writing, a little spiritual light, sprinkled from the sun god, fell into the paper, and imprinted the mystery of the main world and the projection world into it, as long as someone can reach this state in the future life, its central seal can guide him to the main world, so that he will not shatter the void and run to a dangerous foreign land, and become the ration of some dangerous Frankenstein.
For example, a certain Bo Fu bird in the next door who often travels through the world, and a black goat from a certain decadent universe are married, and they are the most cold and unscrupulous, and the primordial spirits of such cultivators are all swallowed in one bite.
Or maybe a certain late-stage Essence Patient Ang Chen and Apocalypse Chen, who have countless doppelgangers, have always liked to send this kind of uninvited visitors from the other world into the laboratory, or put them into some planet-level civilization laboratories for a miserable guinea pig life.
The soft breeze blows, the flowers and trees in the courtyard rustle, and the clouds outside the view are endless, rushing to this garden.
The incense burner curls indoors, and the green smoke rises slowly, gradually blending with the white mist and clouds.
This kind of vision soon attracted the onlookers of the Taoist priest of Louguan.
Lin Zhengyang couldn't bear to share it with them, so he threw this scripture into the air, and it flashed with golden light and fixed it in the air.
When Louguan Dao Qihui arrived here, he didn't see any guests, only left books.
The scripture is only 400 words, and the inscription at the end is "Lin Zhengyang's note is broken and the void." ”
Qi Hui was overjoyed and said to everyone on the left and right:
"This scripture was left by the immortals, and the immortal's name was Lin Zhengyang."
He learned Lin Zhengyang's true identity from Tang King Li Shimin, so according to his recollections, he ordered someone who was good at Danqing on the spot to draw an image and shape a statue.
So Louguan Dao has one more immortal to worship from today.
After Lin Zhengyang re-ascended to the realm of the Yang God, he felt more and more bored in this world.
It's a world where boundaries exist.
The sky is round, the sky stops in the atmosphere, the earth is surrounded by seawater, and the end of the world is an endless sea.
Lin Zhengyang drove a white cloud at a constant speed of 200 meters per second, dragging a long arrogance in the sky, but in just one day and night, it rushed straight to the end of the world.
Ahead, the sea descends into the abyss, and beyond the abyss is complete darkness.
The clouds stop there.
Lin Zhengyang felt a familiar, void aura.
Every time I travel back and forth to the upper realm, I will feel the breath for a short time.
"Is it here that the sea pours out, and it returns to the void? How much sea water does that have to be? ”
"Or is it that the sea leaves here and flows out from the other side of the world?"
Lin Zhengyang didn't know what it was.
Whenever he thought about jumping into the water, Yang Shen would always feel a strong warning sign, and Yu Ruyi would also tremble.
"Sure enough, every world has its own secrets, and the sea at the end of this world must be a secret that involves the depths of this world.
"In that case, then don't break in."
Lin Zhengyang smiled, stood on the surface of the sea with his hands in his hands, and watched the scene of the sun sinking under the water little by little.
The sheer emotion touched his body and mind.
"Every time I look at it, I feel more and more that nature is vast and the world is great········ It's also time for me to leave and find my way. ”
In the previous life, he only cultivated to become a Yang God, and in this life, he just walked the old path again, and quickly retrieved his cultivation according to the experience of his previous life, and then went up, and there was no such convenience again.
As a side-door person with no sect and no faction, Lin Zhengyang felt that if he wanted to find an opportunity to become enlightened, he still had to go to other worlds.
Cultivating into a yang god is actually the foundation of the true soul journey.
In the ancient times of the main world, in the absence of external assistance, only the Yang God and Earth Immortals could travel to the outer world, coming and going, which is the origin of many legends of reincarnation.
