Chapter 40 Individual Teaching

At night, there are no stars and no moon in the sky, which is rare on Shu Mountain, like the sequelae left by those who are not allowed to worship rashly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The lanterns hanging all over the back garden are bright all night, and the end of the lantern is connected to the study and bedroom of the master, there is no light in the study, the door of the bedroom is tightly closed, and the light is faintly revealed inside, Shao Baiyu and Shen Fei are kneeling under the knees of the master, listening to the master's earnest teachings.

"Take the essence as the essence, take the thing as the coarseness, and take the accumulation as the insufficient, and live alone in the gods. It is built with the constant and nothing, the Lord is the ether one, with the weak and humble as the surface, with the emptiness and indestructibility of all things as the truth, and exhaustively studying the "Tao" as the origin of all things in heaven and earth and the highest principle of the universe, and taking it as the extreme. The so-called "human law of the earth, the law of the earth, the law of the heavens, the law of the heavens, and the law of the Tao of nature", the principle of the Tao runs through all things, which is manifested in the fact that all things exist relatively, and the extreme must be reversed, and the ultimate must return, and the fundamental law ......"

The incomparably profound Taoist metaphysics slowly came out with the hard tone of the master, this is the initial chapter of the third volume of the "Tao Jing", and the eternal theorem contained in it is too profound for the two people who have not yet fully comprehended the second volume of the "Tao Jing". "Tao Jing" is a stone inscription written by the ancestor of Qingshan Dao to inherit the way of heaven, which contains the operation law of all things in heaven and earth, and is the eternal and unchanging truth in this world. It has a total of five volumes, and those who master the original text of the five volumes are only the main peak Fang Qi Mountain, so the door of Fang Qi Mountain has always been the strongest among the seven peaks.

The Tao Sutra also has a supplementary volume, called the Tao Shu Baihui Sutra, which records the interesting stories that have happened in the human world since the beginning of the world, the mysterious immortal treasures that have appeared, and the role of each elixir. "Taoist Book Baihui Sutra" is also divided into five volumes, various versions are widely circulated among the people, and it is now impossible to distinguish where the real version is, and it is said that the manuscript left on Shu Mountain is not the true scripture.

With the qualifications that Shen Fei and Shao Baiyu have never had before, they also stopped at the second volume of the "Tao Jing", and they are beyond the reach of the third volume of the "Tao Jing", and the profundity of the truth contained in this divine book can be imagined. And the strength of the Qingshan Dao Ancestor, who comprehended all these profound contents and preserved them for future generations to refer to, made people have to sigh.

After the first chapter was taught, the master looked at Shao Baiyu's puzzled expression, and said patiently: "Don't worry, I only understand the last chapter of the fourth volume of the Tao Sutra now, and I will teach you all these profound truths, so that you can firmly remember it in your hearts, and when you have enlightenment in the future, you can grab the key information from it, so as to make a breakthrough." ”

The smoking incense burner is placed on the table where the master leans, and the fragrance is slightly pungent, which can have the effect of refreshing the mind, and is specially lit by the master. Next to the table was a delicate tea set, and the teapot filled with water was boiling on a palm-sized charcoal stove, and before it had yet reached a boil, the dry tea in the cup had been aged for a long time. Zhangjiao loves to drink tea, has a deep study of the tea ceremony, and it is also based on this that he has comprehended the truth of goodness like water.

Shao Baiyu nodded, arched his hand and asked: "Master, I remember that when Uncle Yun taught the first volume of the Tao Sutra, there were only a few thousand words, and the number of words in the second volume of the Dao Jing has exceeded 10,000, and now the first chapter of the third volume of the Dao Sutra alone has more than 10,000 words, so will the fourth volume ......?"

"Woo. The water boiled, the boiling steam rose to the roof, and the bare hand who was not afraid of burning picked up the porcelain pot, poured the boiling water into the cup, closed the lid again, and replied: "Everything is from simple to annoying, and then from annoying to simple, the fourth volume of the Tao Jing has reached 300,000 words, and the fifth volume of the Tao Jing has only a few lines, which can be written on a fallen leaf."

Shao Baiyu was shocked in his heart, thinking that when he first arrived in Nanshan, a flying leaf came with the Honghu Immortal Sword, and he suddenly realized that the simple few lines of words on the fallen leaves turned out to be the content of the fifth volume of the "Tao Sutra". In this way, the head of the sect had planned to accept himself as an apprentice at that time, but it was shelved due to Shen Fei's existence.

Seeing the deep smile in the other party's eyes, Shao Baiyu felt that his teacher's kindness was like a mountain, and bowed deeply. found that Shen Fei never said a word, looked sideways, and saw Shen Fei kneeling in place, his eyes were dull, and the breath on his body was strong and weak, and he secretly said: Could it be that he has comprehension again?

Shao Baiyu felt that Shen Fei's qualifications were almost the same as his own, and he wondered why he had enlightened, but he didn't feel it at all.

The head of the sect seemed to see through his thoughts, and said with relief: "There is a order of enlightenment, don't mind, maybe the content just applies to him." ”

"I understand. Shao Baiyu wanted to explain two sentences, but he sank and finally gave up. His eyes fell on Shen Fei's body, and when he opened his eyes, Fang said, "Shen Fei, what have you realized?"

Shen Fei looked at his concerned expression and said dimly: "I feel that there is a loach swimming in my body, which is very uncomfortable." ”

"A loach? ”

"I'm serious. ”

"I tried desperately to catch it, but I couldn't, and now my whole body hurts. ”

A hint of surprise flashed across the master's face, and the fingers holding the teacup trembled slightly, and finally he simply put down the cup that had been brought to his mouth.

He is very sure that there is a strange life form such as genius in the world, and since he and Yun Lie have been fighting on the mountain, they have been bearing the name of genius all day long, which is embodied in reading books and never forgetting them, practicing immortal methods thoroughly, and having excellent judgment when facing battle.

Shen Fei and Shao Baiyu were stronger than him and Yun Lie in these three aspects, which could be seen from their incredible initiation process on the top of Nanshan, but all along, he only thought that those two people were a little more perceptive than him. When I saw it today, I was afraid that Shen Fei was a genius that had never been seen in the past, a real genius, this is not to say that he really fully understood the content of the second or even the first chapter of the third volume of the "Tao Sutra", just by hearing the content, he could give birth to his own opinions, which was already very amazing.

The head of the sect once again felt worried, and deeply felt that he had buried an uncontrollable factor for Shushan.

He stood up, came to the window, opened the window, the cold wind blew in, blew away the hesitation in his heart, and promised Zhongli that the matter must be done, even if the other party is the bane of Shushan, there is no way to stop it, the important thing now is to help Shao Baiyu and Shen Fei grow together and become a pair of existences that can restrain each other, and cannot let Shen Fei dominate.

Thinking of this, the master looked out the window and said, "Bai Yu, take out your sword." ”

Shao Baiyu, who was discussing his dream with Shen Fei, summoned the Honghu Immortal Sword as he said, and as soon as the Immortal Sword appeared, the room was immediately enveloped in bright and brilliant golden light. Shao Baiyu stood up and sent it up with a sword in both hands.

The head of the sect shook his head: "That one." ”

With a pang in his heart, Shao Baiyu hesitated a little: "What do you mean......"

"Liangyi has no phase sword. The head of the sect clearly pointed out.

Shao Baiyu nodded, and finally understood that everything was under the control of the other party, took back the Honghu Immortal Sword, and instead summoned the Liangyi Phaseless Sword, which was completely different from the golden light when the Honghu Sword appeared, although the Liangyi Phaseless Sword had a unique shape, there was almost no brilliance on the sword body, but the power continued to pour out from the sword and was transported into his body.

Shao Baiyu held the sword in both hands and handed it over, and said, "Just hold it, this sword will not be allowed to be touched by others." Can Qingniu tell you about the origin of this sword?"

Shao Baiyu suddenly raised his head, stared at the eyes of the master, and said in his heart: It turns out that Shizun even knows about the Qingniu Immortal.

"You don't have to be afraid. The master smiled, "Qingniu is the ancestor of my Shu Mountain, representing the glory of ancient times, and it is a good thing to be able to get its favor." ”

Having said that, Shao Baiyu still felt quite awkward, because he suddenly realized that everything was under the control of this old man. After a deep sink, he said: "Qingniu Shangxian told me that this sword is a treasure handed down from ancient times, and its power is not weaker than that of Xuanyuan Sword. ”

"That's all it says to you?"

"Qingniu Shangxian also said that the seal of the Liangyi Phaseless Sword is located within the Seven Peaks, and only when it is unlocked one by one can its true power be released. ”

"That's right, under the Seven Peaks, there is a seal on each side, suppressing a part of the Liangyi Phaseless Sword Spirit, if you want to gain all its power, you need to unlock these seven seals one by one. The master closed the window and sat down in his seat by the window, "But that's not what I'm going to say, Yu'er, do you know where this sword came from?"

Shen Fei was also interested, and the person was still kneeling in place, but his ears were already standing up.

Shao Baiyu said: "Qingniu Shangxian said at the time that when the time comes, I will naturally know the original appearance of history. ”

"It didn't say it was afraid of scaring you, after all, this sword has a very bad history. The master stretched out his hand, Shao Baiyu didn't understand what he meant for the first time, but Shen Fei had already stood up quickly, picked up the tea cup on the table, and sent it over. Bai Yu looked at Shen Fei deeply, did not speak, and the master did not immediately take the cup handed over by Shen Fei, and stared at him for a while: "If you want to be smart, no one can compare to you in Shushan." ”

"Fei'er just always puts the master first, and always thinks about what the master thinks. Shen Fei smiled, holding the cup in both hands, not moving.

The head coach took the cup and put it on the table: "If you want to say that it is slippery, no one can compare to you when you look at Shushan." ”

Shen Fei laughed and did not defend himself.

The head of the sect fell on the teacup, stretched out his hand and gently patted the cup with the lid, again and again, "You two officially worship me as a teacher, and some of the forbidden historical truths should also be somewhat understood, so I will start with history and tell you the origin of this artifact in your hand." You all know that Shu Mountain originated 1,200 years ago when the Boundless Dao Ancestor rode a black donkey into Shu to observe the stars and realize the Tao, before that, what was the world like, have you ever heard of it?"

"A thousand years ago?" Shen Fei put his hands down and stood at his side, he had never known much about history.

Shao Baiyu said: "The disciple has learned from some wild histories that before the formation and prosperity of various sects, powerful clans were the only forces that ruled the world, and at that time, the nobles and leaders in the tribes had energy similar to the current immortals, but they were more powerful than the immortals. ”

"No historical material is groundless, and the same is true of wild history, which must have its historical prototype. "Actually, the appearance of human beings comes from the beginning of the opening of heaven and earth, and the vibration caused by chaos is clear, and it is said that human beings are transformed from the essence blood that flowed out after the death of the great god Pangu, and their appearance is similar to that of the god who opened the heavens and the earth, but the figure is far less tall than that of the gods."

Hundreds of millions of years ago, the Pangu god held the Pangu axe to cut the chaos of yin and yang, and forcibly separated the heaven and earth from the time and space that were glued together. After Pangu's death, his essence and blood transformed into humans, and a small part of them inherited the power of Pangu and called themselves gods. The Xuannu sealed in the Xuannu Sword is one of them. ”

"It turns out that there really is a god in the world. Shen Fei muttered.

"It's just a title, just like we are now called immortals by the world. The Sect Leader waved his hand and motioned for Bai Yu and Shen Fei to sit next to him, "The power of the gods comes from Pangu, which is innate, and it is completely different from the power that we immortals get through acquired cultivation. The Protoss has always been married by close relatives, and the purer the bloodline, the more power and ability it will inherit. As a result, there are countless tribes led by the Most High God, and three of them have become extremely powerful after a long period of annexation and fusion. One is the Xia tribe led by Emperor Yan, the other is the tribe Hua led by the Yellow Emperor, and the other is the Jiuli tribe led by Chi You. At that time, the weapon in the hands of Emperor Yan was the sacred relic Pangu axe left behind by Pangu to open the world; the weapon in the hands of the Yellow Emperor was a divine sword Xuanyuan sword formed by drinking the essence of the sun and the moon after the opening of the world; and the weapon in the hands of Chi You was the overlord banner refined from chaos. The three tribes rose up at the same time, expanded outward, and while the territory continued to expand, the run-in between each other also deepened day by day, and finally they fought with each other, attacked each other, and the blood flowed like a river.

As I just said, the biggest difference between gods and immortals is that the power of gods comes from the bloodline, from Pangu, the purer the bloodline, the stronger the power, if Pangu is compared to the creator, then the god is the son of the creator, born to control part of the energy of the natural world. Therefore, although the gods cannot be cultivated, their innate strength is stronger than that of our immortals, and the body shape of the gods is also very different from that of human beings, and the shortest of them is also two or three zhang tall, like Chi You, a hegemon who stands up to the sky and the earth, and his body is as huge as a small mountain. Their close relatives are married, it is strictly forbidden to have sex with humans, the number is scarce, and the weapons in their hands are the same as themselves, they are the treasures formed with the beginning of heaven and earth, there is no need to polish and refine, they are already the strongest posture, representing the ultimate in strength, the extreme in sharpness and the extreme in attack range.
