Chapter 305: The Way of All Things
Since Qing Xuzi agreed, then Shen Du was not polite, and went directly to the fourth and fifth layers to watch.
There were indeed a lot of Dao secret techniques in the upper two layers, and Shen Du immediately obtained some completions.
In fact, the main reason why he came to the Qingcheng faction was that he had groped for the nine-character sword seal technique, and he had reached a bottle-top stage, and at present, he could only summon seventeen swords at the same time, and he had not been able to break through eighteen for a while.
Although he said that he found another way, the sword he summoned was getting bigger and bigger, and the spiritual power was getting more and more sufficient, and there were already signs of turning into a flying sword, but the eighteen-character sword formation could not be constructed yet.
The Qingcheng faction came to complete some Taoist techniques, and wanted to summon eighteen swords from the ground and form an eighteen-character sword array.
As for the twenty-seven-character sword formation in the back, the thirty-six-character sword formation...... Shen Du didn't have the strength to explore, and he already felt that the space that could be developed by the Nine-Character Sword Seal Technique was incomparably huge.
This is also the power of this swordsmanship.
In the fourth and fifth layers of the Qingcheng faction, there were indeed a lot of Qingcheng swordsmanship, and as he looked at them one by one, there were more and more swordsmanship.
Shen Du felt that if he was given a certain amount of time, he would definitely be able to figure out the eighteenth sword and assemble the eighteenth sword formation.
At the same time that Shen Du was busy, a Heavenly Saint Gate wizard staggered out of the Huaxia country, escaped into Vietnam, disappeared, and when he reappeared, he had already appeared on the high mountains of Nanyang.
This mountain is rather weird, and there are many statues of evil gods enshrined on it, some with bird heads and human bodies, some with three heads and six arms, and some without a head at all.
In addition to the evil gods, there are also ghostly face statues scattered all over the place, and the whole mountain exudes this dark and mysterious aura.
The wizard staggered a few steps, spat out a mouthful of blood, and collapsed onto the mountain pass.
Then there was a loud bang in the mountains, and several people walked out.
"Senior Brother Lu Hao?" one of them exclaimed in surprise, hurriedly helped him up and asked, "What about Senior Brother Lu Jin and Senior Brother Lu Yun? ”
"Dead, they're dead!"
The wizard named Lu Hao had blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth, and he reached out and grabbed the collar of one of them fiercely, his eyes panicked: "No, don't go to Huaxia, don't go to Huaxia, they ...... They ......"
After saying this, the wizard's eyes became hollow, and he gradually lost his luster and strength.
"Senior brother?" the man was startled and hurriedly looked at it, only to see that the wizard was covered in scars, several of which were fatal.
"Who is it? Who killed my junior brother?" A middle-aged man with a strong body and a fleshy face stood up, suddenly furious, and a flame burst out of his eyes: "Huaxia?
The faces of several other wizards were solemn: "Senior Brother Lu Jin has already entered the third tribulation of the Eighth Rank Venerable, and he didn't come back this time, could it be said that the Huaxia Dao Sect has become so terrifying after a hundred years of recuperation?"
"It's impossible. I have checked, Huaxia Daomen has been fragile in recent years, Senior Brother Lu Jin, may have suffered from their plots. Damn!"
The middle-aged man with a meaty face said coldly: "I need to find out who did it, maybe the Huaxia Daomen is not as fragile as we imagined." This time, Senior Brother Lu Jin was just taking the lead, and he didn't expect to encounter such a disaster. Lu Zhen. ”
"Here!" a young disciple named Lu Zhen stood up.
"You mobilize people to enter Huaxia for me to find out what is going on. Senior Brother Lu Jin once told me before leaving that they would challenge several sects, and if you look at the details of the Huaxia Dao Sect, the first one to challenge should be the Qingcheng faction. ”
"Yes, the subordinates immediately transferred people to the Qingcheng faction to check!"
"Be careful, maybe Huaxia Daomen is not as unbearable as we imagined. ”
The man nodded, and immediately turned and walked down the mountain.
Seeing him leave, the strong man with a meaty face said coldly, "To inform the others about this incident, I need them to be vigilant and not to take it lightly." ”
"Yes, Master!"
......
Although there were not many books on the fourth and fifth floors, Shen Du still stayed in it for three days before he came out.
When he came out, he immediately found that the entire Qingcheng faction was a lot more lively, and strange Taoist priests appeared, and there were not many people, about twenty or thirty people.
"Shen Daoyou, you're finally out!" Qing Lingzi greeted him and smiled, "Do you need to take a rest first?"
Shen Du glanced at her and said with a smile: "There aren't many people here, aren't there enough people in your Qingcheng faction?"
Qing Lingzi nodded, and said with a slightly embarrassed smile: "Probably only a small half of the Taoist masters came, and most of them didn't come." Although Shen Daoyou is not famous, it is still nothing to a real Taoist master, and the Tao Te Ching may not make them rush to it, as for our Qingcheng faction...... The momentum has been weak for a long time, please don't move the real masters. ”
Shen Du smiled: "Before I came, I originally thought that the Qingcheng faction was a famous sect. However, it seems that something was unexpected to me. Forget it, there will be as many people as you come. I'll just read it, and don't take it too seriously. It's a good thing to be able to realize something. But if you really can't understand anything, then don't blame me. ”
"We know that, of course. ”
"Let's go. I still have something to do, finish reading it early, go home early!" Shen Du was too lazy to rest, he had already read the cheats of the Qingcheng faction, and now he should go back to Yanzi Mountain.
As for reciting the five Tao Te Ching, Shen Du didn't know what would happen, but the holy word was a holy word after all, as long as it was recited, it would definitely be extraordinary.
In the square of the Qingcheng faction, there were already many people waiting, Qingxuzi, Qingyangzi and others were there, Shen Du glanced over and found that there were still some female Taoist aunts of the Qingjing faction.
Regarding the people of the Daomen, Shen Du didn't know much, most of them were people from the Qingjing School, the Qingcheng School and the Dragon and Tiger Sect, and Shen Du didn't see much of the other sects, so naturally he didn't know each other.
As for the Qingcheng sect disciples......
Except for knowing Jiang Chuyao, I don't know anyone else at all, but it's okay, Shen Du is too lazy to waste time, since everyone is here, read it early, harvest the experience points of the gods early, and then go home early.
Of course, before opening his mouth to read, Shen Du still had some precautions to explain, he walked over and glanced at everyone, and said lightly: "The Tao Te Ching is the door of all wonders, the so-called Tao, that is the way of the universe, the way of nature." There is a sentence in it called Taoism and nature, so the Tao Te Ching contains the great mystery of the universe and is unfathomable. Although I will only read five chapters this time, in order to avoid problems, if you feel unwell during the process, please leave as soon as possible, or avoid listening. ”
A disciple of the Qingcheng Sect stood up and asked, "With only five chapters, will there be a problem?"
His face was solemn.
Shen Du nodded and said: "Five chapters are enough, the Tao is the foundation of heaven and earth, the source of all things. Each chapter contains great mystery and great wisdom. Five chapters, already including three thousand worlds. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a lot of discussion below.
When Qing Xuzi heard this, his face was suddenly full of solemnity, and he immediately walked over and said to the people below: "That's true, those who are lower in cultivation should not listen to too much." If you feel unwell, please leave the venue as soon as possible. ”
Since this is the home of the Qingcheng faction, most of the people who came to listen were disciples of the Qingcheng faction, and this time Qingxuzi called almost all the disciples over.
Shen Du waited for a while, seeing that everyone was ready, he didn't bother to continue waiting, he needed to hurry back to Swallow Mountain to have a look, and now he had left Swallow Mountain for almost half a month.
He picked up a Taoist book, let go of it overnight, and then began to read it casually, for him, reciting the Tao Te Ching is no different from reciting other ancient texts, basically no need to prepare, only a book can be recited.
However, what Shen Du didn't expect was that when he began to finish reading the first chapter, the entire Qingcheng faction suddenly changed in the sky.
A wave of crazy spiritual power surged.
"The Tao is the way, the very way, the name is famous, the name is not famous, the beginning of the nameless heaven and earth, the mother of all things......" just one sentence, the entire Qingcheng faction suddenly shook the sky, rumbling a few times, the wind and clouds were dense, thunderclouds and lightning flashed, and suddenly, there were signs of downpour.
Everyone was stunned and shocked.
However, Shen Du did not stop, and the voice continued to sound, but even between the thunder and lightning, Shen Du's voice was extremely loud, as if it could overshadow all the voices: "Therefore, I often have no desire to watch it." There is often a desire to observe it. These two have the same name and different names, and they are the same mysteries. Mysterious and mysterious, the door of all wonders. ”
Wind!
A huge wind suddenly came out of the square, and the whole square thundered loudly, and then, a drop of rain fell, and in the blink of an eye, the rain poured down.
Qing Xuzi and Qing Lingzi and the others were shocked, and hurriedly looked up at the front, although it was said that the rain was pouring down, the thunder was dense, and the wind was blowing, but the clothes on some disciples were not wet, and even the corners of their clothes did not move.
Is this thunder fake? This wind is also fake? This heavy rain?
Qingxuzi stretched out his hand to catch the raindrops, but apart from feeling a hint of coldness, there was any dampness?
How so?
Then, Qingxuzi suddenly felt something, and couldn't help but be shocked, an old and vicissitudes of life came out, in front of his eyes, the Qingcheng faction disappeared, and he suddenly found himself in a barren field, thunder and lightning in the field, and heavy rain poured down.
In the midst of the heavy rain, he only saw all kinds of plants and animals in the field changing wildly, some seedlings grew taller and grown, and some towering trees grew old and collapsed, turning into decay, and some animals grew crazy and then grew old like crazy.
Everything in front of him was mirrored, like watching a fast-forward movie, fast and direct, but the breath of savage, ancient and vicissitudes of life, pressed on his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Is this the Tao?
The way of all things?
The origin of the world, the great mystery of the universe?
Yes.
The Tao Te Ching is the Tao, which is the way of plants and the way of all things.
However, what shocked Qing Xuzi was that just one chapter of the Tao Te Ching could create such an illusion, so what about the eighty-one chapters?
Tao Te Ching, how terrifying it is.
At this time, he seemed to have entered a hallucination, a vision that made him unable to wake up, and all of a sudden, he saw himself born, he saw himself grow up, he saw himself aging, and he saw himself become nothing.
