Chapter Twenty-Nine: Sacred Exercises
"For the sake of the teacher's body, I will give you this scribe-level holy decree as a parting gift. Jing Chen took out a holy relic order and handed it to Bai Cangdong: "But don't get your hopes up, although there are not many scribe-level holy decrees, they can't be considered rare, but there are not many who can really prescribe holy products from them." ”
"The topics in the holy decree are very strange, if it is not for chance, even if you want to think about it for a lifetime, it is difficult to have a clue. Just like my one, there is only one palm on it, a black dot and a flower-shaped pattern, such a strange combination, it is really difficult to make associations to make a holy article. After I got this holy decree, I also tried many times, and I didn't even make a piece to read, let alone a holy product, it would be good to be able to prescribe a medium-grade exercise, so I haven't been able to unravel this holy decree, it's too much waste. ”
Bai Cangdong took the holy decree, but after taking a look, his expression became a little strange.
This holy decree is just like Jingchen said, there is no writing on it, only a palm with simple lines engraved on it, with a black dot and a very simple flower on the palm, and nothing else.
With such a strange pattern, it is indeed difficult for people to think of any beautiful articles or poems, but after Bai Cangdong saw this pattern, he immediately thought of a very appropriate sentence.
William Blake, one of the most important Romantic poets in the history of English literature, wrote in the first four lines of his long poem "The Prophecy of Naiveness":
Toseeaworldinagrainofsand
Andaheaveninawildflower,
Holdinfinityinthepalmofyourhand
Andeternityinanhour.
There are many translations of these four sentences in China, and Bai Cangdong's favorite version is the one translated by Master Zong Baihua.
The translated four sentences are:
One flower is one world, one sand is one country.
The king's palm is boundless, and the moment contains eternal calamity.
These four sentences are too suitable for the pattern of this holy decree, and if they are accompanied by these four sentences, it will immediately make this pattern that originally seemed very abrupt and incongruous become full of meaning.
Bai Cangdong was almost certain that as long as he engraved these four sentences on the holy decree, he would definitely be able to prescribe a saint-grade exercise.
"Master, if I can prescribe the Holy Rank Exercise from this Holy Decree, won't I have to go to the Heavenly Demon Field?" Bai Cangdong looked at Jing Chen and asked.
"Are you sure to prescribe the Holy Exercises?" Jing Chen looked at Bai Cangdong in surprise.
"If you can avoid going to the Heavenly Demon Field, I'm willing to give it a try. Bai Cangdong looked at Jing Chen, wanting to see something from Jing Chen's face.
"Looks like you've got it all figured out. Jingchen smiled and continued: "You don't have to guess my thoughts, I can tell you that a trip to the Heavenly Demon Realm is already imperative, so even if you prescribe the Holy Rank Exercise, you must go to the Heavenly Demon Realm this time." ”
Bai Cangdong was suddenly disappointed, but Jingchen continued: "But if you can prescribe the Holy Product Technique, I will not be able to give you the "Demon Killing Enlightenment**" again, you can instead send you three Holy Product Secret Techniques, these three secret techniques are unique to me, and they are obtained by me in Jingtai Island for more than ten years, which will be of great help to your life in the Heavenly Demon Field." ”
"You were going to pass those three secret techniques to me. Bai Cangdong pursed his lips: "Don't you just want to hear what poems I came up with, you don't need to beat around the bush like this, it's not a big deal, I'll just tell you." ”
"It's worthy of being my good apprentice, and I know the mind of a teacher best. Jingchen said with a smile.
Since he comprehended Huineng's proverb, Jing Chen's personality has changed from the previous old-fashioned and serious, to extremely gentle, even if Bai Cangdong didn't talk to him big or small, he was not angry at all, he really let go of the obsession in his heart, which made Bai Cangdong greatly admired, and he asked himself if he couldn't do it so freely.
"Anyway, I won't practice that "Demon Slaying Enlightenment**", so I'll unlock this holy decree now. Bai Cangdong said, grasping the holy decree with one hand, condensing his qi with the other, and engraved the first four sentences of the "Naive Prophecy" into the holy decree.
Bai Cangdong carved while carving, and Jingchen next to him read silently in his heart while watching: "One flower, one world, one sand and one country." The king's palm is boundless, and the moment contains eternal calamity. ”
After reading these four sentences, Jing Chen's face suddenly showed a look of emotion, the Dao Zhi Truth contained in these four sentences was extremely profound, and even he could only guess a little bit of fur.
Jing Chen looked at Bai Cangdong with a strange gaze, and said secretly in his heart: "In the endless years of Qingzhou, has there ever been such a talented and proud son? That poem, plus this one, contains the supreme truth of the world, and it is really a bit appalling that a young man who is less than twenty years old can write such a poem. Even the legendary innate saint is probably only so rolled, is my Qingzhou really going to produce a saint?"
When Jingchen pondered, the holy decree in Bai Cangdong's hand had already produced a vision, only to see that the particle on the holy decree flickered with strange brilliance, as if it had turned into a sand curtain, evolving all kinds of mountains, rivers, seas and rivers, and so on, and the flower also bloomed from layer upon layer, which actually gave birth to all kinds of strange flowers and plants, birds, beasts, insects, fish, birds and beasts and other life, all mountains, rivers, rivers and seas and life are constantly evolving.
Mountains collapse, rivers are diverted, flowers and plants wither, birds and beasts die, and new mountains break through the sea to emerge, new life sprouts and grows in withering, and all reincarnation seems to be only a moment, and it seems to be an endless eternity.
When the many visions evolved to the extreme, they were held in a fist by one hand, and then all the visions disappeared, leaving only a bright crystal nucleus the size of a walnut that fell into Bai Cangdong's palm.
This crystal nucleus is called the Holy Law Crystal, and it only needs to be injected with the True Life Dao Seal to make the exercises in it manifest, and only the original from the Holy Decree will have the Holy Law Crystal, and the exercises that ordinary people learn are re-copied after being opened by others.
"Sure enough, it's a holy thing. Seeing the holy character mark on the holy magic crystal, although Jing Chen had already expected this result, he still couldn't help but admire.
"I don't know what the name of this holy product exercise is?" Jing Chen looked at the holy law crystal in Bai Cangdong's hand and asked, being able to witness the birth of a new holy product exercise is still an exciting thing even for Jing Chen, a supreme person.
"I'll have to see it to find out. Bai Cangdong put the Holy Law Crystal on his forehead, destroyed the Ten Directions Ancient Emperor, and injected his energy into the Holy Law Crystal, and suddenly a lot of strange information flowed out of the Holy Law Crystal, and poured into Bai Cangdong's mind.
