Chapter 28: Taoism
The light fell on the jade platform, and suddenly a soft mist of light floated away, and at the same time, a faint ethereal sound came out, and the petals in the surrounding sea of flowers also slowly fluttered and flew along with the light mist.
Zhang Yu looked into the light, but saw a Taoist figure sitting there, but except for the outline of his body, his face couldn't be seen clearly.
This should be deliberately covered up by the other party, because if the merit is not enough, or there is no seal letter support granted by the Xuan Court, then looking directly at Xuan Zun, even if it is just the incarnation of Xuan Zun, it may damage people's soul and mind.
The outer layer is different from the inner layer, and it is difficult for Xuanzun to cast all his power here for a long time, so he can only be stationed in the Heavenly City in the way of differentiation and incarnation.
Not only Tianxia Xuanzun, but even those powerful evil gods, their true bodies are also hiding in the depths of the void, and they will not show their faces easily, only some power will leak out from time to time.
And the situation of Shangchen Heavenly Monk is also like this, when he reaches the level of Xuanzun, most of the time he is hiding in Shangchen Tian.
Therefore, most of the people who are active outside and are responsible for the conquest are mostly middle and lower level monks and evil gods and gods of this level and various aliens.
The Dao man looked at everyone at this moment, but he stayed on several people for a moment, including Zhang Yu, and after a while, he sat down in the clear light.
At this time, another chime sounded, and a Taoist voice came from above: "Fellow Daoists, sit down." ”
When the monks standing on the stone platform in the lake heard this, they all bowed respectfully to the platform, and then they sat down one by one.
The monks, who had no pedestals to stay in, sat directly in their boats.
On the outskirts, most of the disciples who were weak in their deeds were not qualified to move forward, so they could only stand on the edge of the lake and look at the big platform.
However, as long as the people who can see the Epitomy Altar can see the figure of the Taoist who is shrouded in light, even if they can't understand the Dharma for a while, they won't come in vain.
Zhang Yu was also sitting on the futon at this time, and after a while, a grand clear voice seemed to come from a very far away, but it seemed to sound in a close distance.
He found that the sound was rushing like a river, and it was impossible to tell what it was.
As soon as he thought about it, he immediately understood that it was because Xuanzun's words conveyed too many things, and he himself could not understand them all, so he heard these mighty sounds.
He had to make a trade-off, he obviously couldn't understand something that was too profound, and he didn't have to waste this opportunity to deliberately listen to some of the truths he understood, what he wanted to hear at the moment was how to make up for his own cultivation and find his way to the upper realm.
And with this thought, the turbulent sound weakened and receded layer by layer, and the sound floating in the ears gradually became clear and distinct.
As he listened deeper, the external objects around him seemed to fade away, as if he was the only one sitting on the stone platform, while the void above was infinitely magnified.
At this moment, it seemed that only the Taoist shrouded in light and himself fell into this heaven and earth.
He knew that this was the sympathy of qi and machine, so that his mind was manifest, so he just held his mind and didn't pay attention to these changes, but focused on listening to what this Xuanzun said.
Because of the trade-offs, what he heard at the moment was something he could understand.
He soon discovered that what this Xuanzun was talking about was not a supernatural technique, but a teaching monk on how to practice the Dao.
This is only really useful for cultivators who have already reached a certain level of meritorious practice and are trying to find a way to break through in the upward direction.
And these Taoist methods are also very profound, and the Taoist books he read in the past, that is, those given by Zhu Xuanshou can be slightly compared.
However, because the Taoist books handed over to him by Zhu Xuanshou only had words, he needed to read them by himself, so everything in them needed him to slowly understand and comprehend them.
But this time listening to the Tao was different, he felt that his breath was also faintly turbulent with that sentence of the Dao, and he could realize the subtlety of it while hearing the Dao.
This is also the advantage of coming here to listen to the sermon, which is equivalent to a wise teacher who can teach him anytime and anywhere, without having to figure it out on his own.
As the sermons were passed on, he was gradually immersed in them.
It seemed that a long time had passed, but it seemed to be a short moment, and the sound had receded at some point, and he was still sitting cross-legged on the stone platform, as if he was feeling something.
This was true not only of him, but of many of the monks present.
After a long time, he raised his head, the essence in his eyes flashed, and the qi on his body faintly swelled, but it was put away, and soon he covered it with jade clothes.
Listening to this sermon, he gained a lot, and his own Taoism took another step forward, and with his cultivation at the moment, every step forward was a huge improvement.
But the biggest takeaway is no longer here.
This Yu Xuanzun is obviously a Xuanfa Xuanzun, but what he is talking about is the purest Taoist practice.
Intentionally or unintentionally, there is actually a hint of the key to this, which shows that no matter whether it is true or metaphysical cultivation, Dao practice is extremely useful, and even common in some aspects.
This also makes sense, after all, the Xuanfa lineage was originally separated from the true law, and it was only under the promotion of the Xuanting that it was carried forward.
And he was also wondering what method these Xuan Xiu predecessors who had no predecessors to follow relied on to break through the realm, and it was obvious that they had already pointed out the key to the juniors.
This reminded him of the "three-element integration" method in true practice.
He had considered this before, but this time he had strengthened his mind even more when he was looking for a breakthrough.
It is said that if the monk's three elements are full, he can seek the Dharma.
According to this theory, this is the cultivator's own practice to the extreme, which leads to the transformation of the divine energy, and then climbs to the upper realm.
But it's not that simple, and there must be something else in it.
Just as he was thinking, there was a sound of a long bell chime on the big stage, and then the voice of the previous Dao Tong came down: "The lecture has been completed, and all the ways can be returned." ”
Zhang Yu looked over, and saw that he didn't know when, the figure of the Taoist in the light was gone, obviously gone, he shook his sleeves, and stood up from his seat.
Yu Ruiqing walked up to him at this moment and said, "I've finished listening to the sermon, do you want to go back with me?"
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said, "It's good for Daoist friends to turn around first, I still have some things to do here." ”
Yu Ruiqing said: "It's okay, that Daoyou, I'll take the first step." After he raised his hand and saluted, he took Yue Luo into a small boat and drove back.
At this time, on the Tanguang platform, Jia An and the others also came back to their senses one after another after listening to the sermon.
The moon is the first to get the moon near the water, they are on the side of the stage, and they are Xuanzun disciples, and some Taoists have heard of it on weekdays, and then they have to be guided by qi at this time, so they have more or less gained some benefits.
The monk surnamed Xu asked in a low voice, "Senior brother, how much have you comprehended?"
Jia Antong pondered for a moment and said, "I just understand a little," he is not nonsense, and the qi in his body has indeed improved slightly compared to before the teaching.
The monk surnamed Xu sighed: "The younger brother has listened to it for so long, but he feels that he has not grown much. ”
He felt that he could understand those Taoist scriptures, but he just felt that he didn't have much to push himself.
In fact, he still has some gains, and most of the monks feel that they have heard some Taoist scriptures, as if they have understood them, but when they look back, they have actually gained nothing.
Jia Antong looked at the peers who were close to him around him, and felt that their qi improvement was limited, and said, "I said a long time ago, you should pay more attention to your cultivation on weekdays, and don't blindly spend your efforts on refining the Divine Yuan, after all, the Divine Yuan is numerous, but the cultivation is endless. ”
Everyone said yes.
The monk surnamed Xu said in a low voice at this time: "Senior brother, the teacher is about to talk about the Fa before, I can't speak, just now we went to invite those two people in person, they don't sell affection, I don't know what the senior brother thinks?"
Jia Antong glanced at him and said, "I don't have any thoughts, it's because they have nothing to do with the Dao Fa, and they are the ones who suffer." ”
The monk surnamed Xu said: "But they always refute our face......"
Jia Antong glared at him and warned him: "Senior brother, don't do anything crooked, although the teacher is tolerant of us, he will never allow us to do anything that violates the law, and you don't have to rely on yourself as a teacher and disciple to do anything excessive. ”
The monk surnamed Xu said: "Senior brother, don't worry, I won't go here to do such a thing, but what if you say that other senior brothers also go to invite them?"
Jia Antong glanced at him and understood his thoughts, and he also had a momentary heartbeat, but Fang Cai's cultivation was used after all, his mind was still clear, and he immediately suppressed such thoughts, and he said in a deep voice: "I said it, don't worry too much." ”
Seeing that he insisted, and his expression looked extremely serious, the monk surnamed Xu said stupidly, "Got it, senior brother." ”
After Yu Ruiqing left, Zhang Yu took a boat to the Tanguang Terrace in the middle of the lake, he still had one more thing to do at the moment, and the boundary was also located here.
When he stepped from the boat to the big platform, he suddenly felt that someone was watching him, and when he turned his eyes, he didn't care, and after discerning the direction, he walked along the road covered with petals.
Soon he came to a tall stone gate, where an old monk was watching, and when he saw him coming, he made a joke and said, "Do you have a talisman?"
Zhang Yuyi raised his hand and took out the jade talisman handed over to him by Counselor Tang of the Military Affairs Administration, which was also his reward for killing the true spirit of the evil god at the beginning.
After seeing it, the old Taoist lowered his head and moved out of the way, and the stone door also rumbled up, revealing a slightly deep stairway.
Zhang Yu glanced at it, then waved his sleeves and walked inside.
At this time, on the big platform, the monk surnamed Xu was about to return to the Heavenly City, but a disciple came over and said, "Uncle Shi, I just saw one of the two people you asked me to pay attention to, but one of them went to the bottom of the big platform. ”
The monk surnamed Xu looked moved and said, "Oh, where did you go? He thought for a moment and thought, "If I am there, I can try to teach them a lesson or two, and the senior brother is not good to say that I am wrong." ”
