Volume 1 The Path to Enlightenment Chapter 2 Practice
"Do the Tao of excellent travel deep living alone, support life and keep nothingness, tranquil and self-happy, what to think, the wings have been supported by the right, the longevity of the long-term vision is to fly away, the five elements are uneven with the root, the three or five are in harmony with the one, who fights the sun and the moon together. I only heard the sound of a plain scripture scroll coming from a distance, and it turned out to be Tianxuanzi reading the Huang Ting Sutra given by Yuan Shi Tianzun.
Tian Xuanzi thought that he didn't have any understanding of the cultivation method, so he learned what he said when he read a book in his previous life: Reading a book a hundred times reveals its meaning.
But these days, in addition to recognizing the sentences by familiarizing myself with the words and sentences of the scriptures, I have learned more ways to communicate with the insects, fish, birds and beasts in Kunlun.
Learned the channel of communication between human nature and all things, for the single mana and realm is indeed not much improved, although the method of breathing taught by insects, fish, birds and beasts has allowed Tianxuanzi to reach the innate level, but it is only a little used to strengthen the body.
Tian Xuanzi was helpless about this, and his cultivation could not be rushed, so he simply read Huang Ting all the way to the east.
Half a month passed quickly, and Tianxuanzi finally walked to the border of Kunlun. Kunlun is so big that a mortal can't walk through it in a lifetime.
Out of the realm of Kunlun, Tianxuan, who was full of war spirit and expectation in his heart, walked towards the Kunlun Mountains on the periphery of Kunlun, which was covered with rare and exotic grasses and dense forests.
When he reached the edge of the forest, Tianxuan's stomach began to protest, and it was then that he realized that he was just a mortal with more strength than ordinary mortals.
Although the realm has reached the innate realm, it has not yet reached the point of immortality for the time being, and the innate realm is just to open up the connection between the spiritual energy in the body and the outside world, so that it has a longer lifespan and physical strength than ordinary people, so the innate is also called qi training. The first batch of mortals created by Nuwa Niangniang back then were all in the innate realm from the moment they made their moves.
Due to the dissatisfaction expressed by his stomach, Tianxuan could only suppress his ambition for the future and began to look around the jungle for food.
He wanted to hunt, but none of those monsters and beasts in the jungle could be dealt with by Tianxuan, who was exhausted at this time.
Tianxuan sat under a towering ancient tree, thought for a while, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he thought of a way to use traps to hunt.
He dug a large pit and set a trap on a place where he had used the beast's tracks, but this method failed.
The reason for the failure was that the one who fell into the trap was a fierce tiger with angry eyes, and Tianxuan tried many ways to kill it, but they all failed, so he had no choice but to give up the tiger meat in front of him and find another way.
Just when Tianxuan was exhausted and his stomach was in trouble, he had to sit on the ground slowly.
Perhaps it was Lady Luck who favored him, and just as he was about to faint, his palm fell into the bush on the side, and he happened to touch the fruit, and found the tufts of lush emerald green plants growing around him.
Tianxuan couldn't help but gobble it up, and began to chew the dry fruit, and after eating, Tianxuan lay on the ground, "hey" After a long sigh, he seemed to be tired, and slowly fell asleep.
In the dream, Tianxuan dreamed that he was caught by a youkai, and the monster planned to eat him with skin cramps, which woke him up from his sleep.
Just as he woke up in a daze, he was frightened by the scene in front of him, in front of him was an ancient tree with a face.
"Damn, why am I just carrying it like this. ”
It turns out that Tianxuanzi has been sleeping on this big tree, the real face of this towering ancient tree, but the whole body seems to have been struck by lightning, it looks very dark, and the green leaves between the branches seem to show his persistence in changing his fate.
"Are you a demon?" Tianxuanzi was also the first time to see a real monster, and he was a little timid in his heart, but after plucking up his courage, he shouted to the ancient tree in front of him.
I only heard the ancient tree respond in a dull voice, "I am not a demon clan, the old decay is the first locust tree at the foot of Kunlun, where it absorbs the aura of heaven and earth and transforms into essence, so it is the wood spirit of this forest." ”
Then I heard the tree spirit say, "I have existed for thousands of lifetimes, but because of the lack of realm, I have not been able to advance for thousands of years. The old man has been waiting here for a long time, and I hope that Mr. will pass on my wonderful method, and I would like to worship Mr. as the master and follow Mr. around. ”
When Tianxuanzi heard this, he was quite surprised by this, and said that there are many talented people in the wilderness, and since this tree spirit has calculated so accurately, he said to the old-fashioned tree spirit: "Mr. Huaishu, I can recite a book of scriptures for you, and you don't have to follow me, you see how this is." ”
And the old face composed of trees, since he couldn't help but shed tears, the tree spirit sobbed silently and said, "I have been rooted here for 10,000 years, and I have seen countless monks who have come out of Kunlun, and I only have the idea of trying to Shaoxia, but I didn't expect that in the past 10,000 years, only Shaoxia has helped the old man, and the old man is grateful. ”
Tian Xuanzi looked at this strange scene, a tall tree face, since there were still tears.
He sat down, his reshaped body with long black hair, and his eyes as clear as if he had seen through the world.
"Then I will preach your Taoism, I will only dictate, how much you can comprehend depends on your own creation, I hope you will do more good deeds in the future. Hearing this, the old locust tree immediately listened with devotion to his face.
I saw Tianxuan close his eyes and urge the innate qi in his body to use it in his preaching.
Although the innate Tianxuan can not be preached when Qingyun unveiled, but the operation of the innate true qi is always quite a bit more Taoist than oral, "lying in the Zhimen Hou Tiandao, close to the body of the son is still self-controlled, quiet and inaction, the spirit is open and reasonable, the essence of the Heavenly Dao is immortal, the seven orifices have been passed and do not know the old, and they still sit on the Tianmen Hou Yin and Yang, and the throat is clear." In the next time, it is the key to whether the old locust tree can become an immortal, and it is also the opportunity for him to wait for ten thousand years to come, Tianxuanzi divided the Huang Ting Sutra into three volumes, and passed all the essence of the previous volume about entering the immortal from the mortal to the tree spirit.
After listening to the rhyme of this scroll, the sky was covered by dark clouds in an instant, and the clouds controlled the evil qi of heaven and earth, and the accumulation of clouds became thicker and thicker, from the beginning of a layer of clouds to the seven layers of clouds behind, as if to be displaced.
Just as Tianxuanzi finished saying the last sentence of the Taoist scripture, the clouds in the sky couldn't bear it.
From the first thunder tribulation like a bucket-thick silver-white lightning, carrying the power of heaven and earth, down the trend, the second and third streams that followed one after another were all destructive lightning of varying degrees.
The ancient tree that felt the thunder tribulation didn't seem to panic at all, he turned all the leaves into a shield, and converged the energy back into the main trunk, like a soldier who was desperate to fight to the death, bound to break through the barrier about immortals.
The lightning of the thunder tribulation has long been wave after wave, the emerald green shield was struck in all directions, but this shield has been insisting on the old locust tree's side, every time the thunder and lightning hit, the shield emerald green barrier will be broken and withered, but the new leaves are always quickly patched, the thunder tribulation hit a total of seven seven forty-nine times, which is in line with the law of the operation of the heavenly way, the dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and the tree spirit finally succeeded in achieving the wish of the past ten thousand years.
transformed into the appearance of his dreams, the "bang" of the old locust tree, and transformed into a sixty-year-old grandfather.
"Sir treats me today as if he was reinventing with kindness, since Sir said that he doesn't need me to stay with him, but I don't think Sir has the practice of practicing yet. The old man gave Mr. the essence of the wood that I had cultivated for 10,000 years and the life and creation recipe that the old man himself cultivated, and I used the power of the thunder tribulation to refine the sword made from the body of the past and the remnant sword given to me by a monk when I was a god, Mr. Wang accepted it, and in the future, I will also have a weapon to take advantage of the demon slashing" The old man slowly swallowed and Tianxuan said.
Tianxuan was also worried because he didn't have the exercises to practice, and at this time, there were exercises sent to the door, so he accepted the gift from the old locust tree.
After Tian Xuanzi got these things, through the mystery of the tree spirit's wood, he comprehended a sword technique, which is called the Endless Sword. Use the condensed power of vitality to cut off all the vitality of others, and the sword will not be extinguished, and the sword will never stop.
Tianxuan practiced for a period of time in the old locust tree, until he completely mastered the secret of life and creation, when he asked the old locust tree if he was willing to travel with Tianxuan, because the old locust tree wanted to wait for his brother here, all Tianxuan said goodbye to the old locust tree, and then set off all the way to the east, because the name of this forest said: Ten thousand miles of wind forest.
The wind forest was originally controlled by three major tree spirits, namely the outermost third old locust tree, the second peach tree sandwiched in the middle, and the old maple tree in the center.
Tianxuan learned from the old locust tree that the three tree spirits were students outside the Yuan Shi Tianzun Gate, and they were dedicated to the Tao. Just because after being consecrated as a god, most of the immortals entered the heavenly court.
And the Origin Heavenly Venerable is the creator of the world, and the God Emperor of the Heavenly Court challenged the authority of the Heavenly Court because of the scattered immortal forces, and the God Emperor himself could not bully the small with the big.
Therefore, he asked the Hongjun Immortals for help and discussed, and the Hongjun Immortals summoned Sanqing to discuss.
The three Qings are the Yuqing Realm Qingwei Tianyu Qing Sage, the Shangqing Realm Yuyu Tianqing Sage, and the Taiqing Realm Da Chitian Taiqing Sage.
In the end, he used the opportunity of King Wu's war to clear the scattered immortal forces and purify the evil qi of heaven and earth.
And the reason why Lao Huaishu knows so much is because when the king of Shang Dynasty was the king, countless cultivators came here to rely on the prestige of Yuan Shi Tianzun to avoid the catastrophe of heaven and earth, and told the three brothers of Lao Huaishu when they discussed the Tao with them.
Because the three tree spirits were limited by the principles of heaven and earth, their realm had already reached the level of immortals, but they could not move the foundation and lacked Taoism.
The realm of the path of cultivation and the Tao complement each other, and now because of Tianxuan's teachings, the old locust tree has transformed into a real immortal, and the waiting for becoming an immortal is sometimes the first tribulation to become an immortal.
And cultivating immortals is often accompanied by three calamities and five tribulations. Cultivation changes one's life against the sky, and once one enters the path, there is no end to turning back.
