Chapter 72: Dao Sect Patriarch
After a few more days, Jing Zhu finally returned from being taught, and gathered all the disciples of Baifengmen, intending to pass on to everyone the cultivation knowledge they had learned in the past few days.
In the inner hall of the small courtyard, on the futon under the statue of the patriarch, Jing Zhu was dressed in a Taoist robe and sat in a precarious position. Below, there were more than 100 ordinary disciples who had only entered the sect this year, including Chu Xuan.
This courtyard is the place where the disciples of Baifengmen usually gather, listen to lectures, and discuss the Tao. Last time Jing Zhu was not there, everyone went out to play, Chu Xuan was here alone to study the Book of Heaven, and happened to hear the little secret of the Zhu family's father and daughter.
Probably because Jing Zhu's temper is too good, so that Baifengmen is not disciplined, at this time, the entire inner hall is chaotic, and everyone says a word, as if the streets are busy.
"Fellow disciples, I would like to ask you, what do you say is the basis of a monk's cultivation?" Jing Zhu waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then asked.
Jing Zhu has always treated everyone well, and everyone still gave him face, and a disciple said: "Naturally, there must be a spiritual vein, if there is no spiritual vein, how can you practice?"
Jing Zhu nodded: "Yes, what about after having a spiritual vein?"
"You also have to have a set of appropriate mental methods, only in this way can you open up the spiritual sea, improve the realm, and make yourself stronger. Seeing that no one answered for a while, Chu Xuan opened his mouth to relieve the embarrassing atmosphere for Jing Zhu.
Jing Zhu glanced at him gratefully and said, "Senior Brother Lin is right, so what Jing Zhu wants to pass on to you today is the Dao Yi Sect's mental formula that has been passed down for hundreds of years, "Dao One Heart Method." ”
In fact, this set of mental methods has been circulating on Chongsheng Island for tens of thousands of years, but the split of the two sects of Chongsheng has been a matter of the past few hundred years, so Jing Zhu said that it has been passed down for hundreds of years in the Dao Sect.
Hearing that they were going to learn the Dao Yixin Method, the inner hall that had been chaotic and noisy instantly quieted down, and all the disciples straightened up one after another, beating their spirits, lest they miss a word. It's not surprising that everyone comes from thousands of miles away, basically to improve their cultivation, and when the opportunity comes, how can there be any reason not to seize it?
Seeing that everyone was cooperating with him, Jing Zhu slowed down and said leisurely: "Regarding the Dao One Heart Method, last time I was at the request of the hall master, I have already relayed the content of the first article to you. Today we will study the second part. The second article is not long, there are a total of 50 mantras, more than 700 words, I will read it to you word for word, hoping that the junior disciples who can't remember it can copy it down. ”
"More than 700 words is not long?" someone whispered.
Another reprimanded: "What, too much, too much, you can't listen!"
Jing Zhu hurriedly persuaded: "Don't quarrel, let's not quarrel, then I will recite the mantra to everyone, if there is anything you don't understand, just ask me." The mantra says so, the master of the Xuandao, the inside, the outside, the one who uses it, the one who forgets it, the essence of this thinking about the Xuandao is also ......"
Jing Zhu didn't speak quickly, and everyone listened carefully, but Chu Xuan didn't pay much attention. These contents are very similar to those contained in the Book of Voyeurism, and the Book of Voyeurism is more concise, he naturally doesn't want to listen to it anymore, but it is not good to save Jing Zhu's face, so he can only sit and think about things.
Jing Zhu talked for a while, and suddenly found that Chu Xuan was distracted, so he said to him: "Senior Brother Lin, have you remembered what Senior Brother Fang just said?"
"Probably wrote it down. ”
Chu Xuan got up and replied, and then casually said a few words about the similar content recorded in the Book of Peeping Heaven.
Jing Zhu listened to his mantra, and was slightly amazed in his heart, only to feel that what the other party said seemed to be easier to understand than what he had heard from the hall master.
It's just that he couldn't let go of it, so he pretended to be deep and said: "What the senior brother just said, although he has his own uniqueness, the senior brother still thinks that those of us who are juniors should not tamper with the things left by the ancestor at will, does the junior brother think so?"
Chu Xuan didn't want to argue with the other party, so he said with a smile: "Senior brother is reasonable, it was Lin Xuan who was clever, please forgive me." By the way, Senior Brother Jing, I've been coming to the sect for so long, and I still don't know what the name of the ancestor of the sect is. ”
"What, there are still people who don't know this? hahaha......" The other disciples laughed when they heard this.
Jing Zhu couldn't cry or laugh, and replied: "So that the junior brother can know that our Dao Yi Sect and the Daowu Sect next door were both created by the same ancestor, and it was originally called Daozong, and the first generation of patriarchs was surnamed Sima, and he was secretive." ”
"Huh?!"
When Chu Xuan heard this, he was so shocked that he cried out in a lost voice. How could this be? How could it be so coincidental? The master I met at Xuanhuang Mountain was actually the first generation patriarch of the Second Sect of Chongsheng? No wonder, no wonder the mental method of peeping into the Book of Heaven was so similar to the mental method of the First Sect of Dao! It turned out that it was written by one person at all!
"Then, dare to ask Senior Brother, do you know the life of the ancestor?"
"The deeds of the ancestors' life are rarely recorded in the official history, and the language is unknown. There is a Wei weaving building in our hall, and there is a book of "Sanyuan Old Chronicles" in it, if the junior brother is interested, you can go and borrow it. ”
"Oh. ”
"Senior Brother Lin, what's wrong with you?" Jing Zhu looked at him very strangely, as if he was stunned, and couldn't help but ask.
Chu Xuan stood dumbfounded, not coming back from the shock for a long time, Jing Zhu didn't answer when he asked, just shook his head vigorously. Jing Zhu was inexplicable, so he had to sit down first, and then continue to teach the mind method to everyone.
After the lecture was over, Jing Zhu said to the disciples under his disciples: "Junior disciples, in a few days it will be the second time that the new disciples of the White Tiger Hall will be martial arts, I hope you don't be lazy these days, figure out the Dao One Heart Method, accumulate a little more spiritual power, and use it with your own techniques, in order to achieve a good ranking." The hall master personally promised that the disciples who could enter the top ten in this martial arts meeting would be qualified to attend lectures by his side in the future, which was an honor alongside the four hall masters, and I hope everyone will actively strive for it!"
The reason why it is said that this is the second martial arts meeting is because before this, the White Tiger Hall had already held a competition for new disciples, but Chu Xuan was still a savage in the Xuanluo Forest at that time, so he did not have the opportunity to participate.
Because this martial arts meeting is only limited to new disciples of the White Tiger Palace, Chu Xuan has been coming to the Dao Sect for some days, he has carefully observed, and confirmed that there are no particularly outstanding geniuses among the new disciples, of course, except for himself, so he is very confident in entering the top ten.
...
Under Jing Zhu's recommendation, Chu Xuan successfully went to Wei Bianlou to borrow two books on the history of the Sanyuan Continent, one is "Sanyuan Old Chronicles" and the other is "Biography of Ancient and Modern Celebrities".
Coincidentally, there are records about Sima Qing in both books, and it is also coincidental that both books are not very detailed, and even many important places seem to have been deliberately ignored by the author.
According to the records of the two books, Sima Qing was originally from the Southern Yuan Dynasty, born in a large aristocratic family, and was born with 36 hidden veins. He entered the Heavenly Void Realm before he was fifteen years old and became a famous young genius. After the age of twenty, he crossed the realm of heaven and became an unattainable existence in the eyes of the world. At the age of thirty, he settled on Chongsheng Island, taught disciples, and founded Taoism.
However, the records of Sima Qing in the two books came to an abrupt end when he founded the Taoist Sect at the age of thirty, only saying that after he founded the Taoist Sect, he soon became a god and was admired by the Quartet, and was worshiped by the whole world. As for what happened after that, the historians don't say much, maybe they don't know, maybe it's something else.
