Volume 1 Seven Grades of Taoist Priests Chapter 30 Divine Powers and Di Bao
Qi Xuansu put away the large number of ingredients he bought in turn, cooked himself a pot of white porridge, and fried the medicine.
Whoever thinks that Qi Xuansu at this time is a flower garden Taoist priest in Zhang Yuelu's mouth, and he can't see Qi Xuansu's ruthlessness when he kills alone from the gate of the county government to the back house.
In fact, Qi Xuansu really doesn't have a penchant for killing, he just regards it as an errand, and he doesn't get joy from it, and he doesn't feel too much guilt. This is thanks to Qi Niang's teaching, killing people is only a means, not an end, Qi Niang also made an analogy, people are like a sword, of course you have to unsheath when you should kill, but you have to learn a "hidden" word when you shouldn't get out of the sheath.
Qi Niang will make a specific assessment for Qi Xuansu every year to prevent Qi Xuansu from having an abnormal mind and even a tendency to go crazy.
There is also such an assessment within the Daomen, but it is not for all Daomen disciples, but only for the foreign affairs disciples of special halls such as Beichen Hall and Tiangang Hall.
The assessment is divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D.
Grade A is one that has no problems and is intact; Grade B is slightly flawed, but it has little impact, and only needs regular recuperation; Grade C is the one that has affected the mind and needs to be transferred from the current position for long-term recuperation; Class D is a person who is no longer able to lead a normal life and has a potential insane tendency, requiring immediate intervention and treatment, or even house arrest.
Qi Xuansu's assessment for three consecutive years has been grade A.
As for why Zhang Yuelu was able to see through the murderous aura hidden in Qi Xuansu's body, it was derived from the "Manifestation Baby" realm of the immortals, and this realm could learn three basic supernatural powers, namely "Ziwei Doushu", "Immortal Wangqi Technique" and "Immortal Wandering Technique".
Zhang Yuelu went to see Qi Xuansu with the "Immortal Qi Viewing Technique", and naturally saw the faint red shrouded around Qi Xuansu's body.
As a simplified version of the immortals, the corresponding realm of the scattered people is the realm of the "Holy Fetus", and they can also learn three similar supernatural powers, namely "Innate Divine Calculation", "Hope Qi Technique", and "Out-of-Body Technique".
Just by the name, you can tell the difference between the two. The "Immortal Qi Hope Technique" is the method of the upper achievement, and the "Hope Qi Technique" can only be regarded as the method of the middle success.
Throughout the ages, there have been many seekers. There are many laws in the world.
The so-called avenue is three thousand, the side door is eight hundred, and all kinds of magic magic are ten thousand laws, although this statement is slightly exaggerated, but it can also be seen that there are many kinds of magic in the world. It's just that the Tao has high and low, and the Dharma has up and down. Daomen summarizes that where there are four percent of the law, there is a difference between small success, medium success, upper success, and large success.
The method of small success is only for quick success. The law of Zhongcheng is not the way to enlightenment. The law of success, the principle of heaven and earth. The method of great success can achieve immortality and ascension.
"Law" divides lanes and techniques.
The Tao is the method, and the cultivation method is to improve one's own realm cultivation; Techniques are all kinds of supernatural powers, which cannot improve the realm of cultivation, but they have various uses.
Whether it is the "Immortal Qi Hope Technique" or the "Qi Hope Technique", they are all within the scope of supernatural powers.
As for the method, Xuansheng convened all the great real people and real people of the Dao Gate back then, gathered all the methods in one place, and then went to the chaff and integrated them into five methods, step by step, without the worry of going mad and pointing directly to the Dacheng method of the Ascension Dao, based on the method of the five great successions, and integrated the five veins inheritance. The later Sanren also developed on the basis of these five great achievements.
To this day, up to the real person, down to the nine grade Taoists, the methods used are all the Dacheng methods of Xuansheng's arrangement, there is no difference, the speed of entering the country depends on the amount of resources, qualifications, and efforts.
I have to say that the spirit of the Xuansheng pattern is far greater than that of the predecessors of the previous generations, so that it can revitalize the Daomen and create a situation in which the Daomen is in charge of the world today.
It is said that Xuan Sheng also planned to integrate the supernatural powers, but it could not be completed because the project was too heavy and the opposition within the Daomen was too great.
To this day, the so-called Dacheng Law, Shangcheng Law, Zhongcheng Law, and Xiaocheng Law all refer to supernatural powers. In terms of the method, all of them are cultivating the Dacheng method after the integration of the Xuan Sheng, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior.
The cultivation exercises corresponding to these supernatural powers are provided by the Daomen, which are completely public, and even widely circulated outside the Daomen, as long as the realm is sufficient, everyone can cultivate.
Scattered people can also learn the magical powers of the immortals, but it is inevitable that they will get twice the result with half the effort. After all, after the summary and induction of the ancestors of the Daomen dynasties, the corresponding inheritance has the most suitable supernatural powers, and if you have to deviate from this route, you undoubtedly feel that you can overcome the collective experience and wisdom of the Daomen ancestors of the past dynasties, and you will inevitably hit a wall.
In addition, there are some exercises that can only be practiced if you have made meritorious deeds or met other conditions.
For example, it is the Dacheng method of the Great True Mansion, "Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Righteous Law". The part of the method has been included in the Qi refiner system by the Xuan Sheng, everyone can cultivate, and it can be touched at the stage of returning to the truth, and the remaining part of the supernatural powers that have not been passed on can only be cultivated by the core disciples of Zhengyi, and the corresponding Taiping and Quanzhen factions also have their own special supernatural powers, which are not easily revealed.
Qi Xuansu didn't have any special supernatural powers, and now he only had three basic supernatural powers.
The path to immortality is divided into three major stages: celestial man, innate man, and acquired man. The Daomen is then subdivided into several small stages to unify and correspond to the different realms of each inheritance system.
The acquired people have two stages of cultivation and holding Dan, and the congenital people have three stages of Kunlun, Jade Void, and Returning to Truth, and these five stages correspond to the five realms of foundation building, qi training, inner Dan, jade tripod, and holy fetus of scattered people, and correspond to the five realms of refined gold refining, refining and forming qi, returning jade liquid to Dan, purple qi deficiency, and manifesting infants.
Qi Xuansu is now in the Inner Dan realm. The foundation building realm does not have any corresponding supernatural powers. The realm of qi cultivation can cultivate the "true qi of protecting the body", but it is only the method of small success, which comes from the inheritance of the qi refiner, which is inferior to the method of the middle of the qi refiner "protecting the body and the qi", and is even inferior to the method of the immortals "five qi smoke luo".
The Inner Dan realm can cultivate two magical powers, one is the "Yin and Yang Eye", which is also the method of Xiaocheng, which comes from the inheritance of Fangshi, and is inferior to the Zhongcheng method of Fangshi "Tongming Law Eye". The "Yin and Yang Eye" can only detect ghosts and ghosts, while the "Clear Law Eye" can directly fix ghosts.
The other is the method of Zhongcheng "Sword Technique", which is inferior to the method of Qi Refiner "Imperial Sword Technique", and it requires a genuine flying sword, and "Imperial Sword Technique" also requires a flying sword, but after cultivating to a certain extent, even if it is an ordinary long sword, it can be like a flying sword.
All in all, the advantage of the Sanren is that they can cultivate the supernatural powers of the other five great inheritances, and the disadvantage is that everything is sparse.
The Inner Dan realm is followed by the Jade Ding realm, and you can cultivate the method of two middle realms.
One is the "Bigu technique", which is not very useful to fight with others, and according to the different levels of cultivation, you can greatly reduce your own consumption, from one meal a day to one meal a day, and then to the meal style and dew, until you don't eat the grain.
One is the "cicada metamorphosis", which can temporarily create a fake body to replace death, which is an extremely practical life-saving magical power.
This method was born from the "fake body" of the immortals.
The "Cicada Transformational Technique" can only dodge swords and ordinary water and fire spells, but it can't dodge the Gu Technique and the technique of defeating Nightmare Town. The "Avatar Fake Body" of the Immortal is transformed into a flesh-and-blood stand-in with the blood of the heart, which is the same as the breath of the deity, whether it is a curse spell or a soul-snatching technique through the medium of blood and hair, all of which can be borne by the fake body, which is the method of the highest achievement. It is said that after cultivating to the extreme, supplemented by other precious materials, as well as part of my own cultivation, he can even blind the Heavenly Dao and bear the Heavenly Tribulation, so it is named "Ying Tribulation".
This is the huge gap between the scattered people and the immortals, and they can't be forced.
Qi Niang once promised Qi Xuansu that as long as Qi Xuansu entered the realm of Jade Ding, she would teach Qi Xuansu a special magical power unique to the Qingping Society on behalf of the Qingping Society, the real method of enlightenment, which was free.
If Qi Xuansu is willing to spend another three hundred Taiping money, Qi Niang doesn't mind teaching him her "Cold Moon Saw", although it is only a Zhongcheng method, but if you have a hand, it is far better than the "sword control technique" without a flying sword.
In addition, Qi Niang will also "Xuanyin Tu" and "Entwined Heart Silk", the former is the same as "Cold Moon Saw", which is the magic power of martial arts, and the method of Zhongcheng. The latter is the supernatural power of the qi refiner, the method of attainment. The prices are 500 Taiping and 1,000 Taiping respectively, and they refuse to bargain, even if they are their own sons.
Qi Xuansu could only sigh in anticipation.
In fact, Qi Xuansu can also use his merits to exchange for exercises from the Qingping Society through Qi Niang, or in exchange for pills to improve his cultivation, which is quite similar to the Daomen's merit system, but Qi Xuansu still wants to save enough nine thousand merits to leave the Qingping Society, so he has not moved, which also causes his entry to be slow.
After the porridge was boiled, Qi Xuansu filled himself a bowl, and while drinking the porridge, he read the newspaper he bought by the way.
Di Bao originated in the imperial court, and was the first to be a copy of the emperor's edicts and courtiers' recitals issued by local officials. There is an ancient poem: "Sit and watch the mansion to talk about the roundabout, and gossip about the drunkard in Chushan." ”
Nowadays, the Daomen formalized it, printed in movable type, recorded various Daomen policies and interesting anecdotes, and sold them publicly, each for five ruyi coins, but generally only in Yujing City and the major avenue prefectures.
Today's Di Bao reported for the first time that the demon rebellion in the Western Regions had lasted for two months, and five caravans had been attacked, but the Daofu of the Western Regions was busy fighting with the shamans, so they had no time to take care of it, so they had to ask the ancestral court for help.
Shamanism is a branch of the ancient witchcraft, after the fall of the witchcraft, shamanism went to the grasslands and became the state religion of the Golden Horde, the strength should not be underestimated, the Western Regions often clashed with shamanism, and fought against shamanism with the power of a local government, and it is no wonder that the Western Regions is overstretched in the hands of people.
Qi Xuansu continued to look down, and then the Great True Persons on Duty issued an edict to further crack down on secret associations in various places, requiring the provincial governments in various places to strictly implement the ancestral court decree.
Further down, there is the relevant news of Jiutang.
The head of the ancestral hall met with the Buddhist envoy.
Duzhitang released a summary of the first half of this year, as well as a budget for the second half of this year.
Ziwei Hall released the preliminary results of the assessment of the eight methods in spring and summer, and announced the list of relevant lifting Taoists.
The Beichen Hall published a list of prisoners who needed to be executed after the beginning of autumn, as well as a detailed description of the relevant crimes, in order to set an example.
After drinking a bowl of porridge, the medicine has not yet been decocted.
Qi Xuansu put down the newspaper and suddenly remembered Xuansheng's words: "Since we are orthodox in the world, we must act brightly and not hide what we do, so that everyone in the world can see it." ”
