Chapter 182: The Second Level
Leading all the disciples to the statue of the Antarctic Immortal Emperor, Qingyuan made a shout, and then bowed three times to the statue of the Great Emperor, and after the fragrance, he turned around and said to the disciples, "This is my Daomen Emperor, you little monks may wish to worship!"
All the alternative disciples present who passed the first level, hearing Qingyuan's words, naturally did not follow everything, and one by one they learned Qingyuan's appearance, bowed three times and bowed nine times, and offered incense to the emperor.
While these young children bowed to the Emperor, Qingyuan stood aside and lightly introduced the deeds of the Immortal Emperor to them.
In this way, after the worship of the disciples was completed, Qingyuan led a group of alternative disciples unhurriedly to find a futon to sit in front of the statue of the earth god.
"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, all the laymen can pass the first level, naturally they are all people with excellent perseverance, so, listen to the second level of the poor Dao!" Speaking of this, Qingyuan raised the dust in his hand, and then continued, "The second level, you need the laymen to recite the Taoist scriptures for three days, and after three days, if the laymen have enlightenment, they will be considered to have passed, otherwise, they will have no chance with my Dao Palace!"
After saying this, Qingyuan distributed the manuscript of the Dao Sutra that had been prepared long ago, this manuscript of the Dao Sutra was none other than the Guizang Sutra that Ye Qingxuan had drawn from the system.
However, the Taoist scriptures are precious, so this manuscript is naturally not the whole book, but only a hexagram of the dry characters, hexagrams, and a number of classic truths.
But even so, it is really difficult for these childish teenagers to understand the truth from it, and even more, those children under the age of ten who don't even know a few words, let alone be able to understand it.
So, after Qingyuan distributed the Taoist scriptures, he explained them to these candidate disciples in a simple way based on the research experience of himself, Shen Fang and Ye Qingxuan in the past.
Of course, this explanation does not involve his personal understanding of the Taoist scriptures, but only teaches these young people the meaning and words of the hexagrams in the Guizang Sutra, and the rest needs to be understood by themselves.
Three days may be a long time for these teenagers, but for Ye Qingxuan, who was practicing hard at the top of the Changming Lantern Pavilion at this time, it was nothing.
The previous retreat had allowed him to open up the ninth main bloodline and its attached tiny bloodline, and he was in "severe pain"
Switching back and forth with the feeling of "comfort", unable to extricate himself, for a while Ye Qingxuan couldn't help but wonder if he really had a slight potential for abuse.
However, this is not the point, these are just some of the effects brought by the cultivation of Xuangong, and at this time, Ye Qingxuan has already touched the threshold of the Great Perfection Realm of the Day After Tomorrow.
At this time, in Ye Qingxuan's body, more than half of the tenth thick and long bloodlines had already turned into the color of purple gold, and even most of the associated small bloodlines were also opened one by one and turned into a piece of purple gold.
Ye Qingxuan devoted himself to cultivation, did not smell foreign objects, and the time of three days passed in a hurry, at this time, more than half a month had passed since his retreat, but it was a little difficult to get through this last bloodline compared to the previous nine, and it took a long time, but it was obviously the last moment for him to break through the late stage of the day after tomorrow.
At this time, at the bottom of the Changming Lantern Pavilion, the more than twenty candidate disciples who were originally sitting there had gone about half of them at this time.
The scriptures are broad and profound, but they are also obscure and incomprehensible, even if Qingyuan solves their doubts, most of these teenagers are still not allowed to enter.
Among them, those who are interested in seeking the Tao naturally frequently consult Qingyuan, and Qingyuan is always answered, but there are also those who are not interested in reading books at all, just holding books and dozing off.
Even if those candidate disciples who are not very interested in books are unwilling, but because they have just started the assessment, they can't give up lightly, so they can still be patient and watch carefully.
But after a few hours, after dinner, there was no bed in this lantern pavilion, and these alternative disciples were tired and sleepy one by one, so they no longer had the patience to study the classics, and one by one they held their books, drooped their heads and dozed off.
When the sun rose on the second day, a group of candidate disciples woke up one after another, and Qing Yuan opened his eyes to see a slight difference.
I saw that among the candidate disciples, there were those who sought the Tao, and after waking up and simply freshening up, they would hold the scriptures while having breakfast, and devote themselves to studying.
And those candidate disciples who were not very interested in the Taoist scriptures shook their heads and had breakfast slowly, so they looked reluctant, returned to their original positions, and then picked up the Taoist scriptures with a sad face, trying to study them again.
However, this situation did not last long, and after a few hours, Qing Yuan smiled when he saw this, and then knocked on the jade in his hand again, and said lightly, "Among the laymen, if you feel that you can't persevere, you can leave at will!"
As soon as Qingyuan's words fell, there were a few young people who were quite old, and their faces were moving, but in the end, they didn't leave first because of their faces.
But there is a child under the age of ten among them, as if he has been in the school for a few days, after hearing this, he stood up and gave a salute to Qingyuan, and then said in a milky voice, "Thank you for the guidance of the Taoist in the past two days, but the child really doesn't know anything about this scripture, and he is taught by the master on weekdays, and he only admires my Confucian sage in his heart."
If it weren't for his father's insistence, the little boy wouldn't dare to disturb the Taoist Qingxiu, so he asked the Taoist to forgive him, and the little boy went down the mountain!"
"Good!" Seeing this, Qingyuan nodded at this little boy with a smile, this little boy he had paid attention before, and he was indeed a good boy who knew how to learn, but since he had no heart for the Tao and admired Confucianism, even if Qingyuan felt sorry in his heart, he would not stop him from leaving!
When the little boy heard this, he saluted Qingyuan again, and then straightened his clothes, and then walked towards the outside of the Changming Lantern Pavilion.
Outside the Lantern Pavilion, there were naturally his parents waiting, and they would definitely not let this child go down the mountain alone.
With this little boy taking the lead, those teenagers who had long been interested in moving their hearts couldn't hold back anymore at this time, and they all got up and said goodbye to Qingyuan in Shangshouli.
And Qingyuan was also the same as usual, just a simple glance, a slogan in his mouth, and after saying a word of kindness, he let them leave.
If you believe in me, it is convenient for me to practice the same way, if you don't believe it, the mountain gate is wide open, and you can leave on your own.
After only three days' work, most of the twenty or so people who had entered the Lantern Pavilion with Qingyuan had left, and there were only a dozen children and teenagers left.
Looking up at the sky outside the window, Qing Yuan silently calculated the time in his heart, and then stretched out his hand and knocked on the jade, and then said, "Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, three days have passed, and everyone here has also discussed this Tibetan trigram with the poor Dao, and naturally it can be regarded as a gain, so all the laymen, this chant of the classics is completed!"
