Chapter Ninety-One: The Right Way of the Xuanmen
After Li Xuandu defeated Shen Yuanzhong, the promotion to the suzerain of the Taiping Sect was a certainty, and the next ten people mainly discussed matters related to the ascension ceremony. According to reason, Zhang Haishi and Bai Xiushang are both outsiders, just guests, and should not interfere too much in this matter. However, both of them regarded themselves as Li Xuandu's elders, and Shen Yuanzhong didn't have much to say.
The people present here are either the masters of a sect or the people who hold real power in the sect, and it is naturally useless to discuss such things, and they quickly set the relevant regulations of the canon, and at the same time, they also set the seniority of Li Xuandu. In terms of Li Xuandu's age, he should be the same generation as Shen Changsheng, but in terms of actual generation, he is Li Daoxu's disciple, Zhang Haishi's junior brother, and Mr. Shen Da, Qin Qing, and Bai Xiusheng are the same generation, so his generation in the Taiping Sect is the same generation as Mr. Shen Da, Mrs. Lu, and Xu Feibai, and he is a generation lower than Shen Yuanzhong, Shen Yuanzhai, Shen Yuanzhou, Yu Xian, and Sikong Zao, and a generation higher than Shen Changsheng, these three generations of disciples.
The next thing is to send invitations, although the Great Heavenly Master Zhang Jingxiu has already set a list of people to come to watch the ceremony, but on the surface, it is still necessary for the Taiping Sect to send the invitation first, and then all the guests will hold the invitation card to climb the mountain to watch the ceremony, otherwise many masters of a sect will take the initiative to come to the door without waiting for others to come to invite, what kind of system.
According to the rules, such a major event should be to send a second-generation disciple of sufficient weight in the Taiping Sect to personally send an invitation, but some sects are extremely far away and need to be sent in advance, not to mention that it will take more than a month, even if it is close, it will take half a month to come and go. Those sect masters who had left ahead of schedule under the instructions of the Great Heavenly Master would soon be able to rush to Taiping Mountain.
The official date is set in seven days.
After all, the Taiping Sect is the deputy leader of the twelve sects of the righteous path, and naturally cannot be sloppy about the promotion ceremony of the sect master, in these seven days, the disciples of the whole sect will decorate the Taiping Mountain and the Taiping Palace, but for the wealthy Taiping Sect, it is not a difficult matter.
As for Li Xuandu, there is nothing to do. It just so happened that he was climbing Taiping Mountain for the first time, so under the leadership of Mrs. Lu, he visited Taiping Mountain, otherwise he would be the acting sect master of Taiping Sect in the future, and he would never have even seen the whole picture of Taiping Mountain, and it would be a joke to say it.
On this day, Li Xuandu and Mrs. Lu came to a scenic spot in Taiping Mountain, which is not far from the Taiping Palace, named Tianping Peak, shaped like a barrier, just blocking the main peak where the Taiping Palace is located. There is a temple built on the cliff in this place, the cliff is extremely steep, the pine can not be born, the ape can not climb, only the bird can pass, this temple only relies on the beam that wedges into the cliff wall below as a support, as if it is adsorbed on the cliff, look at it from afar, but see a flying pavilion in the clouds and mist from time to time, just like a pavilion in the air, the temple of immortals. Once you enter it, you will find that there is a waterfall flowing down at the back of the temple, which is close to the outer railing of the temple and can be reached by reaching out. The people of the Taiping Sect used bamboo tubes to lead water into the pavilion. I can't help but sigh that the people who built this pavilion are not only ingenious, but also whimsical.
The two came to this hall, walking in the corridor, the corridor is only a few feet wide, only two people can walk side by side, if it is an ordinary person to ascend, look around, the white fog is boundless, the clouds are born on the soles of the feet, such as being in the sky, they can't help but shake their minds, their hands and feet are soft, but both of them are masters of the three realms, and they are not only not afraid, but also open-minded. Li Xuandu looked in the direction of the Taiping Palace by the railing, and in the misty smoke and clouds, he faintly saw a corner of the Taiping Palace, looming in the clouds and mist, like the grand scene of the Heavenly Palace.
Mrs. Lu introduced: "The name of this place is Tianshui Pavilion, because it looks like a tower in the sky from a distance, and it is named after a 'water' because it is close to the waterfall, so it is named 'Tianshui'. ”
Li Xuandu retracted his gaze and praised: "It's a good place for self-cultivation." ”
Mrs. Lu said: "If the Acting Sect Master likes it, this place will be used as the residence of the Acting Sect Master in the future, I don't know what the Acting Sect wants?"
Li Xuandu glanced at Mrs. Lu and said, "It's good, it's just that I'm in the rivers and lakes, and I can't help myself, so I may not be able to stay on Taiping Mountain for a long time." ”
Mrs. Lu sighed.
Li Xuandu took out the Sumeru treasure given to him by Mr. Shen Da from the "eighteenth floor", and said: "This is Mr. Shen Da's Sumeru treasure, I didn't dare to move it, and the thing was returned to the original owner." It's just that the 'Taiping Worry-free' Lingqi is a token of the sect master, but it is not good to give it to Mrs. Lu. ”
Mrs. Lu hesitated for a moment, took the Sumeru treasure, and her expression was complicated: "Thank you Zifu." ”
After that, she opened the prohibition on the Sumeru treasure, and after a rough browsing, she took out a jade cover book from it, which was more than a foot thick, fortunately Mrs. Lu was a master of the True Realm, and she was replaced by an ordinary woman, not to mention holding it up with one hand, even if she could move it with both hands.
Mrs. Lu said: "Zifu is about to take office as the acting sect master of this sect, although the Taiping Sect and the Qingwei Sect are one family, but after so many years of development and changes, there is a big difference between the two, if the Purple Mansion does not know the Taiping Sect's exercises at all, it is also a joke, so the original copy of this "Taiping Qingling Sutra" will be handed over to the Purple Mansion, I hope that the Purple Mansion can study it well." ”
Li Xuan didn't refuse, took this "Taiping Qing Lingjing", and included it in his "Eighteenth Floor".
Compared with the Qingwei Sect, the Taiping Sect is dense and rigorous, and it is longer than the guard, but it is more than dense, and it is not as powerful as the Qingwei Sect's exercises, but if it is said that the guard is strict, the Qingwei Sect is not as good as the horse, but it is only slightly inferior to the Vajra Sect that blindly cultivates the physique, but the Taiping Sect has all kinds of strange methods, but it is above the Vajra Sect. The Taiping Sect has stood majestically on the rivers and lakes for many years, with a remarkable reputation and its own uniqueness.
Li Xuandu secretly thought in his heart: "I have the 'Xuanwei True Technique' and the 'Beidou Thirty-six Sword Technique', based on the comprehension of the Qingwei Patriarch's 'Taiping Qingling Sutra', and also integrates the subtle methods of the Mojia Ranger School and many overseas scattered cultivators. Although the Taiping Sect's 'Taiping Qingling Sutra' is known as orthodox, judging from the Taiping Sect's exercises, it is not necessarily the whole book if it is only defended and not attacked. From this point of view, the Taiping Sect only defends and does not attack, and the Qingwei Sect only attacks and does not defend, and the two are combined, which is the real 'Taiping Qing Lingjing'. However, if you want to melt the exercises of the Qingwei Sect and the Taiping Sect into one furnace, it still takes a lot of work. ”
Seeing that he was stunned, Mrs. Lu couldn't help asking, "What is Zifu thinking?"
Li Xuandu came back to his senses and said, "I'm thinking about the Taiping Dao back then. ”
Mrs. Lu's heart sank suddenly, and she immediately thought of the merger of the Taiping Sect and the Qingwei Sect into one case to reproduce the Taiping Dao of the past, and also thought of the battle of Sanssouci Valley, and the Qingwei Sect was determined to take revenge, and she couldn't help but be afraid.
Li Xuandu saw that Mrs. Lu's expression was changing, and knew that she wanted to diverge, so he said: "I was thinking that the reason why Taiping Dao was able to dominate the world back then was by virtue of a 'Taiping Qing Collar Sutra', which is the foundation of the Great Dao, if I can integrate the strengths of the Qingwei Sect and the Taiping Sect, wouldn't it be a hope for longevity?"
Mrs. Lu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "What Zifu said is extremely true, the Taiping Dao back then was better than the Zhengyi, the Zhengyi had the 'Five Thunder Tianxin Righteous Law', and the Taiping Dao had the 'Taiping Qingling Sutra', the two should be almost the same, and they are both the laws of the Xuanmen Righteous Way in the Dacheng Law." ”
The law of Dacheng is also called the law of attaining the Tao, but the method of attaining the Tao is also different, and it is divided into the law of the right way of the Xuanmen and the law of the left way of the side door. What is the method of the righteous path of Xuanmen, that is, the method of Dacheng without all kinds of hidden dangers, such as the "Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Righteous Method" and "Taiping Qingling Sutra", as long as you cultivate step by step, even if you cannot ascend to the Tao, it is also beneficial and harmless. What is the method of the left way of the side door, it is natural that there are all kinds of hidden dangers, such as "Taiyin Thirteen Swords", "Liuhe Eight Desolation Immortal Body", although you can get away with the Tao, but it is extremely dangerous, a little careless, you will suffer backlash, go crazy.
Strictly speaking, among the three major sword techniques, only the "Cihang Pudu Sword Codex" is considered the method of the right path of Xuanmen, and the "Thirteen Swords of Taiyin" and the "Thirty-six Sword Techniques of the Big Dipper" are all regarded as the methods of the left path of the side door. As for the "Xuanyin Sutra" and "Taishang Dan Sutra", it can also be regarded as the law of the Xuanmen Righteous Path in the Dacheng Law, but it must be a complete version, that is, the Xuannu Six Classics and the inner and outer chapters of the "Taishang Dan Sutra".
Because of this, although Li Xuandu has two Dacheng methods, he still has thoughts about the "Taiping Qing Lingjing", just because these two Dacheng methods are too dangerous, it is said that the earth master only began to cultivate the complete "Taiyin Thirteen Swords" after stepping into the immortal realm, and only Li Daoxu can enter the immortal realm with the improved "Beidou Thirty-six Sword Tricks", in other words, the "Beidou Thirty-six Sword Tricks" is Li Daoxu's unique sword trick, just like the "Human World" is Li Xuandu's sword.
Li Xuandu wants to successfully enter the immortal realm, and the "Taiping Qing Lingjing" is undoubtedly the best choice.
