Chapter 14
Soon after, the eight of them came to the Scripture Pavilion.
There was a small table at the door of the Scripture Pavilion, and next to the table was a chaise longue, on which an old man with gray hair was resting.
No one knows the name of the old man, Daozong, just because he often falls asleep on the recliner, everyone calls him "sleeping old".
Although most people don't know the age of the old man, they know that even if it is the old man's generation, he has to be called his uncle and ancestor.
According to the grapevine, Sleep is the same generation as the first sect master, but few people will believe this news.
The reason is very simple, because the maximum lifespan of a monk is only 100,000 years, even if it is a monk at the peak of the ninth order of the Illusory God, after 100,000 years, it is just a speck of dust between heaven and earth.
Therefore, many people do not believe this news, and if it is the second and third generations in the next 10,000 or 20,000 years, there are still some possibilities.
Although there are those who believe, they don't talk about it too much. Because if it is really the first generation, then Sleep Lao should be a dead person, but he is still alive. And talking about the life and death of others behind his back is just adding cause and effect to himself.
Sleeping old is only a part of the usual conversation for the disciples, and they don't have much to worry about. After all, for them who are not very old, they can only be called "sleeping old" or "old ancestor".
The eight of them came to the sleeping old man just like on the previous rest day, and after showing the Taoist Golden Order, they walked into the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.
As for why it is said to be the same as the previous rest day, because if there is nothing to do on the rest day, the disciples of Dao Dao Peak will almost always come to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to supplement their knowledge. And the Scripture Pavilion is the main culprit that causes them to be unable to rest normally on their rest days.
After all, only one day of every seven days can be used to do other things, and the six days are all about fighting and survival, etc., and if you don't learn anything, the seventh day is naturally to learn some knowledge.
In addition, the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is very quiet, and it is not afraid of being disturbed when summarizing, and it can escape the meaningless pranks of Jin Lao.
The door that several people entered was the "Heavenly Gate" of the three doors of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and there was also a set of tables and chairs next to the other "Earth Gate" and "Human Gate", each guarded by a disciple.
Originally, these three doors did not say who would enter from which door, but because it was the sleeping old man who guarded the "Heavenly Gate", most of the disciples felt pressured in front of this old ancestor, so they would not enter from here, and as a result, the people who entered from the "Heavenly Gate" finally became personal disciples, sect masters and elders, and those who asked Dao Feng.
The earth gate is guarded by the disciples of the inner sect all the year round, and almost all the people who enter from there are disciples of the inner sect;
There is no other reason, there are your own people at this door, and you are not nervous when you go in.
The eight people who entered the Scripture Pavilion went to study by themselves as usual, finding the place they needed.
The four people of the previous batch walked to the seventh floor and stopped, Thunderstorm and Bai Yu stopped on the twentieth floor, and Zhou Tong did not stop until the thirtieth floor. And the wind is still going up......
They did this because the structure of the Pavilion was rather special.
There are many classics in the Scripture Pavilion, which is as vast as a sea of smoke, and no one knows how many there are at present.
There are three categories of classics in the collection: one is the exercises, including the body method, combat skills, blades and other combat methods, the spirit method such as the spirit array, the spirit rune production and other spiritual methods, and the mental method that matches various combat methods, which is also the largest part.
The second part is an introduction to the Tianxuan Realm, including a geographical introduction to the five continents and the four forbidden places, a biological introduction to various spirit animals, spirit plants, and spiritual objects, and an introduction to various weapons, buildings, and other utensils.
The third part is history books, which include regular histories, wild histories, celebrity anecdotes, biographies and other conventional histories, as well as the most authentic histories that have been sorted out and verified.
In terms of time span, it is bounded by the battle against the sky, which is divided into before the battle against the sky and after the battle against the sky. After the battle against the sky, it was bounded by several major events, such as the retreat of the demons mentioned earlier.
The efforts of the Taoist sect for generations and the help of the other two sects finally made the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion have such a wealth of classics, and also gave it the name of "history book".
In terms of structure, the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion uses the most "anti-disciple" structure.
There are a total of 100 floors in the Scripture Pavilion. Among these 100 layers, the first 25 layers are all kinds of history books, and the next 25 layers are all kinds of introductions. The most needed exercises for disciples are placed in the last 50 layers.
Of course, this alone is nothing, how difficult can it be for a monk to climb a building?
So the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion made a move, as long as it was in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, no matter who it was, the cultivation and physical body would be suppressed to the mortal level. As for the reason, it is not clear.
Because the Zangjing Pavilion stores so much history, it is also known as the "history book", and the Taoist sect calls it "the heaviness of history".
It was the first generation of suzerains who set the rules of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. According to the Patriarchal History, the original words are as follows: "If a person does not even know the world in which he lives, how can he talk about wandering in the world." ”
And the suppression of cultivation is not to prevent people from destroying the scripture pavilion, but just to allow those who enter the scripture pavilion to calm down and have patience to understand the world.
The goal of entering the Scripture Pavilion is to prepare for the search for a suitable exercise. After all, the cultivation has already reached the realm of transforming into a spirit, but the exercises only have the clear wind and the clear wind strength.
Moreover, with the improvement of his cultivation, Feng Yan felt more and more that Qingfeng Jie and Qingfeng Jin were not serious exercises, but rather like a method of controlling true qi and strength. Because Qingfeng definitely does not provide a method of operation of true qi at all, and Qingfeng Jin does not have a single move.
In other words, his current luck method is to explore by himself, and then use the breeze to forcibly control it. Combat moves, on the other hand, are entirely based on experience.
Therefore, you must use a serious exercise, otherwise you won't know how to practice it later.
Although he had been here many times, he couldn't help but feel a sense of awe for this place.
Even the part of this exercise has a deep historical flavor. On those many shelves, there are three types of exercises.
The main thing is that it can be used and there is no problem with the exercises. The second is the exercises that have been used in the past and are now found to be problematic, and they are given a booklet pointing out the problems. Finally, there are exercises that have not been proven to be usable.
And the most discordant of them is that each shelf is left with an empty layer, and a few books are placed in it. This layer is reserved for the exercises that are found to be problematic now, and there are also annotations. Disciples can write down their thoughts after watching.
And the most shocking thing is probably that every confirmed exercise book is marked with the time when it was written.
After walking and watching, and feeling the heaviness of history, Feng Yan walked up to the fifty-second floor. From this to the sixtieth layer, it is the mental method after the transformation of the soul.
Then Feng Yan came to a bookshelf marked with the word "wind", looking for the method here.
From left to right, it is a book from dilapidated to new, from dark to bright.
Feng Yan slowly pulled out a book whose name was no longer clear, opened it gently, and read it patiently.
At the moment when Feng Di opened the book, the book lit up with a faint golden light, which was a protection measure for these ancient books.
At the beginning of this book, it does not introduce what the name of the exercise is, how to practice it, and who wrote it like ordinary exercises, but it raises several questions.
Feng Yan couldn't read it, and these questions were not about the mind, but about the "Tao". "Dao" is something that only a monk of the Divine Realm can touch.
So the wind just looked at it and turned over. Then he saw a question: What is wind?
Roughly meaning: is the wind gentle or tyrannical, what is the nature of the wind. Then there are all kinds of arguments, gentleness and tyranny.
And the conclusion is: both are nature, and the combination of gentleness and tyranny is nature, which is also in line with the yin and yang avenue of heaven and earth.
And Feng Yan's feeling is: After talking about it for a long time, it is such a conclusion that no one can be offended?
"Maybe I'm too shallow in my knowledge. ”
Windfall shook his head and continued to look back.
Then I saw another question: What is the mental method?
The answer is only one line: the law of the heart is the law of the heart.
"This ......"
This is completely inconsistent with Feng Yan's cognition, in his cognition, the mental method is the method of cultivation. And now, how do you feel that this grade has suddenly increased a lot, a bit like the feeling of "Tao"?
Then he looked behind him and found that there was quite little content on how to operate true qi or spiritual power, and many of them were ambiguous explanations, and the details were not clear at all.
After that, Feng Yan read a few more books, but he was not satisfied, but he found a problem.
The older the book, the less it is said about how to run True Qi or Spiritual Power, and the more vague and detailed it is. On the contrary, the content of the previous "Treatise" is getting longer and longer.
The strangest thing is that the older they are, the closer those methods of running the True Qi status are to the Clear Wind Decision, the more similar they are to the methods of controlling the True Qi.
"Could it be that the ancients didn't practice with the Dharma?"
With this doubt in mind, he stopped and walked around the floor to an unmarked bookshelf.
A dilapidated book with the words "The Law of All Souls" attracts the wind and the dead.
Feng Yan picked up the book, and there was a small note on the cover: "It is likely that the book was written before the battle against the sky."
Books before the Battle Against the Heavens?
This made the wind doubly interested.
Then he opened the book, and there was not a single word in it, but all kinds of paintings, depicting many unknown creatures.
"This ...... Misplaced, right?"
After Feng Yan finished speaking, he suddenly felt a rise in his head.
Then he saw a multitude of creatures that were drawn in the book. They are all practicing, but each one has its own way of cultivating, and each of the beings' true qi operates differently than the aura.
And every kind of living being that is similar to each other has the same way of operating their true qi and spiritual energy.
In the end, the words "all changes are inseparable" appeared in Feng Yan's mind.
Nothing changes?
Stormfall tried to remember what he had seen, and then, he seemed to understand.
Those countless living beings have different ways of storing true qi and spiritual power, and their routes are also different. But what remains unchanged is to direct true qi and spiritual power from the storage place to where it is needed.
Is this the mind of the ancients? It is enough to lead from the source to the place where it is needed?
"Could it be that Qingfeng is really a mental method? There is no mental method that runs a mantra?...... Well...... After that, ask Jin Lao and them. ”
At this point, Feng Yan was not in the mood to find new exercises, but became interested in those ancient exercises.
So, he began to read those ancient exercises one after another, although the content of the Tao was still incomprehensible, but he understood the thoughts of many ancients, and also gave Feng Yan some inspiration.
In the evening, after passing the regular oral examination at the door, the eight returned to Wendaofeng.
Feng Yan first went to ask Mu Lao about it.
"All beings in heaven and earth have their own ways, so let's realize it. ”
"Then this breeze ...... decided"
"If you say yes, then you are, and if you say no, you don't. ”
Isn't it?
With doubts, Storm Death returns to the dormitory.
Back in the dormitory, he had the answer.
So be it.
I'll talk about it later if you have any questions.
