"No, no...... I haven't seen it before, so there may be! In the "Xijing Miscellaneous Records" compiled by Ge Hong, it is recorded that two strange people talked about things and mentioned this thing......

Master Gong is very knowledgeable, not only proficient in all Taoist classics, but also has research in Buddhism, witchcraft, medicine, Kanyu, and even lay martial arts and qigong.

The master and apprentice didn't think that three days had passed since they talked about the scriptures and the Tao.

Ning Ke learned from his mother that on his birthday, two girls came, one gave a digital watch with a lot of functions, and the other gave a set of "New Concept English" books.

Ning Ke silently thought of these two girls in her heart, I wonder if they are okay?

After Ning Ke communicated with Master Gong, he learned a lot about the cultivation world.

Have some understanding of today's Taoism, Buddhism, Islam, Christianity, witchcraft, magicians, etc., especially the history of Taoism, famous figures, sects, exercises, and scriptures.

Taoism can be traced back to Li Er in the Spring and Autumn Period, that is, Lao Tzu.

The real founder of Taoism is Zhang Daoling, whose name is auxiliary to Han. He called himself Taishang Laojun, that is, Lao Tzu "gave him three days of correct law and was appointed as a heavenly master", and later generations called him "Lao Zu Tianshi" and a three-day mage "Tianyi Zhenren".

He was born in 34 A.D., and in 156 A.D., he was 123 years old when he refined the Feisheng Pill in Longhu Mountain, and ascended to heaven with his wife and children, apprentices, friends and other feathers.

Therefore, the people of later generations have the saying that "if one person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven".

Taoism in the world, regardless of thousands of sects, all come from the disciples of Zhang Tianshi.

Master Gong has been practicing in Maoshan since he was a child, and when he was young, he traveled all over the world, looking for immortals and asking questions, and he has rich experience in practice.

Maoshan is the birthplace of the Shangqing School of Taoism, which is called the "Shangqing Altar" by Taoists, and has the reputation of "the first blessed land, the eighth cave heaven".

Maoshan strange rocks, strange stones stand in a forest, large and small karst caves are deep and secluded, spiritual springs, holy pools are dotted around, and winding streams are criss-crossed. The green trees cover the mountains, the green bamboos are luxuriant, and the treasures are abundant, which is a rare place for cultivators to cultivate.

Ning Ke saw that Master Gong was humble, sincere, and very sincere in seeking the truth, so he sincerely communicated and discussed with him.

When exchanging techniques, exercises, spells, qi, formations, etc., with Master Gong, it was found that what Master Gong learned was neither similar to what his fairy master had passed on, nor was it consistent with the inheritance obtained from "Fuhan Dongtian". It's as if he's walking into a dead end, it seems that his cultivation is good, and he has achieved a little success, but he always feels that his cultivation is a road that doesn't lead through.

Like the apes of ancient times, one evolved into a human and the other evolved into a gorilla. Modern science has proved that gorillas are just walking a dead-end hole in evolution, and no matter which generation they evolve to, they will not become high-level intelligent life.

Ning Ke showed Master Gong all the five pieces of jade slips obtained from the Tianqiankun room of Fuhan Cave, although Master Gong's cultivation was at the end of the Xuan level, he couldn't read any scriptures in the jade slips at all. The jade slip in his eyes is just a jade piece engraved with the word "directory" on the surface.

Speaking of which, Master Gong's cultivation has long been in the Xuan Dynasty, and now he has reached the late stage of the Xuan level, and is about to break through the ground level. But he couldn't even tell what his divine sense was, let alone use it.

The divine consciousness mentioned in the Taoist scriptures that he knew was not the same thing as the divine consciousness that Ning Ke mastered. After Ning Ke found out, he didn't dare to say much about divine sense.

- That's the ability to see through everything, and let people know that if they don't get it, he'll become a rat crossing the street.

It is said that if you cultivate to the Xuan level, no matter what spiritual root you are, you will definitely produce dantian fire. But Master Gong ran the fire technique in Professor Ning Ke's Five Elements Spell, but he couldn't release any flames, only some gases that seemed to be absent appeared on his fingertips.

Ning Ke was able to perform fire magic when he was on the first floor of the Qi Refining Period, and now he was on the second layer of the Qi Refining Period, and although the color of the flames emitted was still at a low level, it was much stronger than before.

Now Ning Ke can use the wind blade with ease, and even the wind blade crossed into a figure of ten can be sent out with both hands at the same time, and the attack surface is wider.

Now the energy "knife" that uses the condensation of true qi can already carve seals on metal, rocks and other objects.

Master Gong's Taoist practice system divides cultivation into qi refining, foundation building, false pill, golden pill, and yuan ying...... It is basically the same as the exercise system practiced by Ning Ke in terms of nouns, and there is an additional "fake pill" statement.

According to him, Master Gong's cultivation has reached the middle stage of the False Pill, and if he can go further to the late stage of the False Pill, he will not be far from forming a Golden Pill.

In this way, it seems that this foundation is not the foundation of the other. It looks the same, but the substance is different.

After Ning Ke thought about it recently, he was bullied by monks and Taoist priests, just because he was lonely and difficult to speak. Although there is a master to teach the skills, I don't know where she is, and I can't count on her help, if you can get to know a group of helpers, it is also a good choice.

Moreover, the Five Elements Spell was originally a spell left by Tianyi Zhenren, the founder of Taoism, and he did not keep it and taught it to Master Gong one by one, but Master Gong was also difficult to cast.

What's going on here?

It was as if Master Gong's cultivation had been discontinued, and the martial arts that Master Gong knew about in the current cultivation world were similar to those he cultivated.

In this way, it seems that it is still possible to find the jade slip that was robbed by the Nine Lotus Temple, and it is estimated that the monks there cannot recognize the scriptures in the jade slip.

Thinking of this, Ning Ke laughed out loud, and the palace master who watched it was furious. He was discouraged on his side, and there was a huge problem with the exercises he had practiced since he was a child, but the little kid master laughed proudly.

Ning Ke saw that Master Gong's face was ugly, so he told Master Gong about the monk of the Nine Lotus Temple snatching his backpack, the Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain snatching his jade pendant, and the monk of the Grievance Temple trying to kidnap him.

In addition, he also said that he or his father had discovered the "Fuhan Cave Heaven......

After hearing this, Master Gong's face became serious.

He didn't know much about the situation of the Nine Lotus Temple; the Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain and his Maoshan Mountain had always had well water that did not interfere with river water; but the Temple of Grievances was not far from his Maoshan Mountain, and he had been there, so he still knew about the situation.

"The temple of grievances was built by Dezong in the Tang Dynasty, the original name was the temple of debate, and it was renamed the temple of grievances in the five dynasties, which means the temple of the grievances of the Buddha.

"The temple of grievances is mainly divided into the Grace Sect and the Grievance Sect, and the two sects have been debated since ancient times. In order to debate the scriptures, they even fought and slaughtered each other.

"The so-called debate is not only a debate on the scriptures, but also a confirmation of the martial scriptures. The scriptures are the materials for debate in various Buddhist scriptures, and if you cite a sentence of a certain classic as an argument, I will use another classic to defend it, and in this way, the debate of the scriptures and classics will be quoted from each other, and those who cannot answer will be the losers; the martial scriptures are a test of martial arts, exercises, and methods, and to put it bluntly, they are a contest of martial arts.

"A small debate every 12 years, a major debate every 60 years. Three rounds of small debates, three rounds of big debates. Every time the loser of the great debate is bound to die, some jump off the cliff and return to the west, some use a sharp knife to kill themselves, or throw themselves into the pile of firewood prepared in advance to self-immolate and sit, which is really despised by the Buddhist world and even the cultivation world.

"This custom has lasted for thousands of years, interrupted only for a few years during the Revolution, and now it is beginning to rise again. Next year is the year of the Great Debate, and the final debate day is always set on the eighth day of the fourth month of the Buddha's birthday.

"On weekdays, the monks of the two sects do not match each other, and each cultivates enlightenment. It is bounded by the mountain road into the mountain, the east is Enzong, and the west is the grievance sect. Mountain temples and temples are all in pairs, for example, there is a Daxiong Treasure Hall on the east side of the mountain, and there must be a Daxiong Treasure Hall on the west peak, although it is not parallel and symmetrical, but it should be relatively complete.

"The temple of grievances is hidden in the mountains, and there are few pilgrims in ordinary times, but in the year of the debate, the pilgrims are overflowing, and they all come to watch the monks who lost the defense. I have the impression that whether it is Enzong or Grievance, those who respect it or repay grievances with virtue or repay virtue with grievances are actually extremely evil people, how can there be any kindness in Buddhism. ”

"Oh, how is the cultivation of the monk of the Grievance Temple?" Ning Ke was anxiously concerned about the martial arts of the monk of the Grievance Temple.

"Nowadays, the exercises practiced by various cultivation circles penetrate each other, complement each other's strengths and weaknesses, and their cultivation is related to their cultivation time and resources, whether it is Buddha, Taoism, Buddha, or ancient martial arts families, witchcraft families, etc., they are almost the same. For example, there are many Hinayana monks and nuns in the temple of grievances, and there are only a few monks and nuns in the Mahayana Temple, and there are only three or two monks who have cultivated the Mahayana Dharma, let alone those who have reached the peak of the Dharma phase. ”

"I don't understand what Buddhism says, how is it compared to Taoism?"

"Hinayana is equivalent to the foundation of Taoism, and the middle is similar to the False Dan period, like the little disciple I am the middle stage of the False Dan, which is slightly stronger than the Buddhist Theravada, weaker than the Mahayana, and of course it is too much worse than the later period of Mahayana. ”

"What about the cultivators of the other cultivation realms?" Ning Ke cared about the cultivation level of the world.

"Due to the lack of resources in contemporary times, they are basically accumulated by the time of practice. Cultivators from all walks of life are similar, and there are very few special geniuses who are superhuman.

"A cultivator like me is already considered superior. The head of the sect and the individual elders who have attained the Tao have cultivated above our generation, and the top cultivators are really rare, all of them are ancestor-level figures, and their birthdays are all over 800 years old. They have long since closed the death pass, and they will not leave the pass at all until the time when the sect is facing destruction.

"Like the sect of the little apprentice, there are two Jindan ancestors, I entered the mountain at the age of seven, and I have never seen these two ancestors in one face. Of course, the hidden realm cultivators in the cultivation realm don't know the details, and I heard that the cultivation is much higher than that of my generation.

"It is said that every twelve years, the Hidden Realm will send some disciples to go out and practice and collect some cultivation resources. Nowadays, there are extensive exchanges and information transmission among the various cultivation circles, and many sects are also accustomed to dividing their cultivation in the way of ancient martial arts families or laymen, that is, the four levels of Huang, Xuan, Earth, and Heaven, and each level is subdivided into the beginning, middle, and post, or the completion of the Great Completion.

"Of course, there are also flaws in this division, the main thing is to refer to the force value, some martial arts cultivators can skip the level and kill people who are higher than their own cultivation. ”

"Oh, if the cultivation of the layman is divided, then what level of cultivation is yours, and what level am I equivalent to?"

"The cultivation or deeds of the apprentices are at the Xuan level, and they are only one step away from entering the ground level. But this step is as difficult as reaching the sky, and the apprentice has been here for many years. As far as I know, there are many people who have cultivated all their lives and never made any progress. Among the thousands of disciples registered in Maoshan today, in addition to the ancestor-level cultivators who can't see each other, there are only two or three people who have entered the prefecture level.

"As for you, Master, the apprentice doesn't know what level you belong to, judging from the momentum you naturally revealed, it is not an exaggeration to say that you have stepped into the ground level. ”

"Prefecture-level ?......" Ning Ke was a little confused when he heard it.
