Chapter 3 Nine Qualities of Immortal Learning

Yu Xiu carried the things he had obtained from the killer and ran wildly in the heavy rain.

After running for several miles, his mood completely calmed down. Standing in the wilderness, Yu Xiu looked up at the sky and suddenly felt inappropriate.

At this time, the weather is cold and there is heavy rain in the air, if you continue to walk, I am afraid that you will catch the wind chill the next day, and in this seemingly ancient world, once you get sick, it is not trivial.

Yu Xiu thought about it for a while, and immediately rushed to a certain place after identifying the direction.

After walking for about half an hour, a crumbling building appeared in Yu Xiu's eyes, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

This is a temple with a collapsed wall in the front yard, dead trees in the courtyard, and a dilapidated Buddhist hall. I don't know the name of the temple, I don't know if the wood of the plaque is too precious, and it has already been stolen by the woodcutters.

Nowadays, Buddhism is just rising, and this temple was built here, perhaps with the intention of suppressing mass graves, but for some reason, the temple has been abandoned.

Yu Xiu walked into the temple, still feeling cold. He immediately searched for something to keep warm in the temple, but the temple was empty, and the tables and chairs were damp.

Yu Xiu raised his head and squinted at the big Buddha on the offering table.

The Buddha is as tall as a person, not a bodhisattva who sends a son, but an arhat with a hideous face and jealousy and hatred. What is the name of Luohan, Yu Xiu does not know.

But looking at the texture of the Buddha statue, it should be made of wood and lacquer.

Without thinking too much, Yu Xiu immediately climbed onto the offering table, took out his newly acquired sword, and slashed directly at Luohan's outstretched arm.

With a slight slash, Luohan's arm immediately fell. Seeing this scene, Yu Xiu was slightly surprised, "This sword is very fast!"

With this sharp weapon, Yu Xiu was slightly happy, he cut off the other arm of the Arhat statue with a brush, and then chopped off the Arhat's head.

The wooden arhat head rolled into the hall and gathered together with the fragments of the stump, and Yu Xiu jumped down, cut the wood beyond recognition again, took out the flint, and slowly lit it.

When a fire was born, the light of the fire shone on Yu Xiu's face, and suddenly made him feel warm.

Suddenly, Yu Xiu remembered the previous apostasy of the teacher, and it was already like yesterday. Thinking about what had happened in the past few months, he opened his mouth and didn't know where to start.

Yu Xiu is not a person in this life, and he doesn't know whether it is a reincarnation or reincarnation, but after thinking about it, he thinks that the latter is more likely.

After waking up his memory, Yu Xiu gradually discovered that there might be immortals and gods in this life, so when the Wumei Taoist appeared, he served him with a teacher's courtesy, hoping to get the inheritance of the exercises, step into the path of cultivation in one fell swoop, and have a long life.

But who would have thought that this entry would enter the evil demon path, and now he has only come out of it.

"But...... It may be worth the effort. ”

Yu Xiu's eyes were calm, he took out a booklet from his clothes, held it in his hand, and looked at it silently.

According to the record of "Strange Records of the Grass Hall", the former dynasty Chongdao once gathered the Taoist priests from all over the world to compile a book with the power of the whole country, which recorded all kinds of practice methods, Taoist classics, treatises, scientific precepts, spells, runes, rituals, monsters and supernatural ...... It is a rare treasure book of Taoism and a treasure raft to cross the world. Since then, the world has flourished in immortal learning, and it has not faded to this day. Yu Xiu thought silently in his heart.

As for "Strange Stories of the Grass Hall", it is also a strange book of the time, and the author of the book is Ji Lin, who was born in the Hanlin Academy of the Dynasty. The book collects and records fairies, ghosts, fox demons, heroes, and ...... All kinds of rural weird stories, customs, and anecdotes are jaw-dropping and dizzying.

The book "Strange Tales from the Cottage" is despised by the master and son, but often read by readers. Yu Xiu's many understandings of this world are derived from this.

Yu Xiu took a deep breath, "The treasure book mentioned by Ji Lin, called "Dao Zang", does not refer to a single book, but a collection of many Taoist books, and it is difficult for princes and princes to collect a set. ”

However, there is a general preface in the "Daozang", which indicates the path of cultivation and has been passed down to the world. ”

A burst of heat rose in Yu Xiu's eyes, "This outline is the Book of Dao. ”

Looking down, the book he was holding in his hand was yellowed on the surface, it was an old thing, there were no patterns on it, only two big characters, and it was the word "Taoist book".

Yu Xiu did not open the book immediately, but closed his eyes, reconciled his breathing, slowly relaxed his mind, and tried his best to erase distracting thoughts.

Yu Xiu's predecessor was an orthodox scholar, although he was just a child, he didn't even have fame, and he could only be counted as a scholar, but his many good habits have benefited Yu Xiu more than once.

This meditation and calming effort before opening the book was inherited by Yu Xiu from his predecessor. If the situation does not allow it, the rest of the rest will burn incense and bathe, and after the mind is completely cleared, then read the "Book of Taoism".

Only in this way can we understand, read thoroughly, and read the essence.

After thirty breaths, Yu Xiu slowly opened his eyes, rubbed his fingers, and gently opened the Book of Dao.

"Immortal Dao cultivates gods, martial arts refines, and Confucianism nourishes qi. ”

The beginning of the Taoist book is intended to directly explain the cultivation methods in the world, so that Yu Xiu can suddenly be enlightened.

In the world, Taoist priests mainly cultivate yin gods, martial artists are strong in refining essence and blood, and scholars are strong in cultivating literary qi and wisdom.

Among the three paths, only the immortal path is all the way to immortality. The other two are just a momentary anger, a momentary strength, and a momentary name, and when the time comes, they are all a piece of loess and a dead body.

It's a pity that the immortal path is difficult, and compared with the other two, there are quite disadvantages in the early stage.

At the same time, the Taoist book records that the "Daozang" is an unprecedented precedent in ancient times, and clearly delineates the nine grades and 27 grades for the world's people to practice and test.

Among them, the nine realms are: out-of-body, night tour, day tour, repellent, condensation, refining, wind disaster, fire, and thunderstorm. Each realm has its own peculiarities, and is divided into upper, middle and lower levels, so there are 27 levels in total.

Specifically, the lower three realms are:

Nine products, out of the body: Taoist priests have strong blood and energy, clear thoughts, can perceive their souls, come out of the body, condense into a yin god, and move around the body.

And at this time, the Taoist priest has a miracle, can see ghosts, and reads books at night and is bright.

Eight products, night tour: The soul of the Taoist priest is condensed, you can go out to move, bathe in the moonlight, the breeze under the forging of the soul, the level from bottom to top is divided into night travel, rainy night travel, morning and dusk travel.

The gods have heard and recited.

Seven products, day tour: Taoist soul training, able to withstand the scorching of the sun, walking in the sun, in the flames, divided into morning line, afternoon line, noon line.

The supernatural is unforgettable.

......

After cultivating the nine products and successfully surviving the thunder tribulation, the Yin God of the Taoist priest will be able to open a little pure yang qi, achieve ghosts and immortals, be reincarnated, and continue to live, called "real ghosts and immortals", and they are no longer in the world.

Furthermore, there is a yin god who has completely metamorphosed and become a pure yang god, whose soul is like a living person, who can take off his shell (completely abandon his body) to travel between the world and the earth, and travel to the twilight of the North Sea, and he has been immortal!

Every realm, every grade, is wonderful, dazzling, and yearning. Yu Xiu looked at it word by word, and unconsciously opened his tongue slightly, not knowing the passage of time.

It was only when the fire burned out and the light dimmed that he came back to his senses.

"What the Taoists ask for, a thousand calamities, ten thousand hardships, but two words: immortality!"

Yu Xiu was stunned for a moment......
