Chapter 497: Daozang
Li Xiuyuan asked this pine tree old fairy a lot of questions, and he knew something about this unfamiliar teacher.
The master is nameless, and there is no faction, inheriting the pre-Qin period, after several ups and downs, almost died in the Sui Dynasty, but because of a patriarch who gained Taoism in the early Tang Dynasty and flourished again, only then did he have the Taoist temple of Shimen in this mountain.
Although the patriarch rebuilt the sect alone, it is still very rich because of the unbroken inheritance.
It is the main gate of Taoism, the method of practicing qi, and it can be said that there are all kinds of Taoist techniques, and there are not a few people who have become immortals for hundreds of years.
Now there are forty or fifty cultivators in the sect, one ancestor, and nine blind Taoists, and nine people at the level of drunken Taoists.
There are eighteen disciples of three generations, such as Ling Fengzi, who is a disciple of three generations.
There are also more than 20 disciples of four generations.
In addition, there are several people who are not in the master's family, and the purple void real person is another Taoist heir, because he entered the mountain gate and exchanged immortal spells with each other, I heard that the ancestor became an immortal because of his favor, so he has a very high status in the Taoist temple.
There are not many people here, less than fifty up and down the division, and there are also some Taoists who have traveled in Hongchen, and most of them have died outside without hearing from them for a long time.
After all, it is risky for Hongchen to be calamitized, but if the merit is accumulated enough, the calamity will disappear in the future, and there is hope for becoming an immortal.
If you practice penance behind closed doors, meditate and practice qi, you will become an immortal calamity freely.
Whether to accumulate merit first to eliminate calamity, or to meditate and practice qi first, and respond to calamity when he becomes an immortal, this has become the choice of all cultivators in the sect.
If the wooden Taoist and the blind Taoist choose Hongchen to respond to the robbery, the blind Taoist borrows Li Xiuyuan's blessing to repair the Jindan Avenue, and if nothing else, it is certain that he will become an immortal.
But Mu Daoren is the opposite, he did not survive the catastrophe, but he embarked on the road of incense to become a god, which can be regarded as a blessing and an alternative enlightenment.
The drunken Taoist and the purple void real person just chose to escape from the world and practice, not stained with red dust cause and effect, and only need to worry about the catastrophe of becoming an immortal.
"The Shimen built the mountain gate in the Tang Dynasty, and you also became a spirit during the Tang Dynasty, are you a tree spirit in the local mountains?"
The old fairy of the pine tree laughed and said, "The old man laughed, where is the small pine tree in the mountain, it used to be sold as a rice ball when the ancestor was traveling abroad, and the woodcutter who chopped the wood couldn't pay the money, and wanted to take the dry firewood to pay the money, but the master refused, and only took a branch to count it as money, and the branch was small."
Later, it was planted here, and it became fine after a long time. ”
"I see...... The old immortal really has a lot of background. Li Xiuyuan said: "But that master is really virtuous, and such virtue is indeed worthy of the four words of Taoist master." ”
Those who cultivate the Tao are the most virtuous.
They are running to become immortals, so they will only make good karma, and dare not attract cause and effect, so the real Taoist masters must first pass the test with virtue.
Otherwise, after cultivating for many years, once they have evil thoughts together, they will not be able to suppress the six desires in their hearts, and they will fall into a place of no return, and they will go further and further on the crooked path of the evil sect, and finally end up in death.
And if you do a lot of evil, you may even damage the master's fortune.
Therefore, there is a big problem for those who are cultivators.
Is it important to inherit or become an immortal?
There are more inheritances and more disciples, and it is inevitable that crooked melons and cracked dates will appear.
In order to become an immortal, you naturally have to let go of the inheritance, but if you fail to become an immortal and die in the calamity, isn't it the inheritance of the master that has been cut off?
Therefore, the legend of the gods, from ancient times to the present, has gradually declined from prosperity to death, and it is unknown whether it will eventually disappear.
"I don't know if the uncle has anything else to ask? The little one also knows a lot about the past of the Taoist masters in the sect. The old fairy of the pine tree said with a flattering smile.
Li Xiuyuan said: "No need, your words have made me understand a lot of Taoist affairs, and I have to thank you here, so I want to give you a small gift, I hope you will like it." After speaking, he touched the ghost king's cloth bag.
An olive-like object glowing with a golden glow was taken out of it.
"It's ...... Emperor Flowing Pulp?" The old pine fairy's eyes widened on the wooden face on the trunk, and he looked very surprised.
"Oh, it's good that you know the old immortal, this emperor flow pulp can increase the Taoism of grass and tree spirits, you can help me and give you this emperor flow pulp. ”
Li Xiuyuan put the emperor slurry under the pine tree, and then said: "I have to go to the Taoist temple on the cliff to see the Taoist treasure there, learn spells, don't disturb the old immortal, and see you next time I have a chance." ”
With that, he bowed his hand, and then strode away.
"Whoosh~!"
An old tree root suddenly stretched out under the soil, and when it was rolled up, it was instantly pulled into the dirt.
The wooden face on the trunk of the pine tree old fairy smiled like a chrysanthemum, wrinkled, and he hurriedly exclaimed: "Uncle is easy to go, uncle often comes to sit and sit, thank you uncle's baby, thank you for the small one, the small one kowtows to you......"
Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth when he heard the words of this pine tree old fairy.
Who did you learn from this strange character?
The old immortal of the pine tree was ecstatic in his heart, he had practiced the Tao for more than five hundred years, and if he took the emperor's slurry, he would be able to increase the Taoism for a hundred years.
Once he reached the 600th year of Taoism, he would be able to transform into a form and move around at will, as long as the main body remained here, and he didn't need to be trapped in the dirt all the time.
This is the biggest drawback of the Grass Spirits.
It is the spirit of the thousand-year-old Tao, and it can't get rid of the tree body, and only after becoming an immortal can it get rid of the shackles of the tree body.
When Li Xiuyuan left this courtyard, he came to a cliff along the mountain road.
There is a place that has been excavated on the cliff wall, and a Taoist temple is built in it, and mortals cannot judge it, and they will not stop.
"It's really worry-free to put the Daozang here, the Taoist who hasn't learned the art of vacating can't go up at all, and the Daoist who can learn the technique of vacating is not low, and the seniority is naturally not low, so it doesn't matter if you can enter and exit it at will. He glanced at it and understood what Daozang meant here.
In line with Taoist non-action.
If you can go up, you can naturally flip through the Daozang and learn spells.
If you can't go up, you have to meditate and practice qi honestly, and get rid of this thought, so that you can prevent your disciples from neglecting one thing and the other, and waste their cultivation in order to learn Taoism.
As for the out-of-body soul, it is even more impossible, there is a strong wind on the cliff, which is enough to blow away the soul and scratch the soul, not every cultivator is like Li Xiuyuan, the purple qi is shrouded, the dragon and phoenix are guarded, and the soul is not afraid of the wind and clouds, thunder and lightning.
"Take me for a ride to the Taoist temple on the cliff. Li Xiuyuan called.
A white light flew out, turning into a dragon colt and falling to the ground and neighing.
He jumped up on the dragon horse, and stepped on the cliff wall as if he were walking on the ground.
Soon, Ryoma jumped and fell to the Taoist temple money on the cliff.
Looking inside, the door was open, and there were bookshelves inside, and the shelves were full of books that radiated light, recording the art of immortality, the method of Taoism.
The inheritance of the master lies here.
Li Xiuyuan was about to go inside to observe and study, but suddenly heard a voice from the side.
"It's Senior Brother Li?"
A Taoist sat on a stone platform on a cliff not far away, letting the mountain wind howl and blow his body.
But when he opened his mouth and inhaled, a mountain wind carried the mist into his abdomen, and then opened his mouth and spit out, and a white gas spit out, like a sword and a knife, and actually cut the wind in front of him, so that the wind passed through with a half-sound.
"Who is this Dao Master?" asked Li Xiuyuan with a bow.
This person has a thin face, ruddy and shiny, and is in good spirits, looking at the age of a middle-aged man, but the age is not certain, and it is difficult for a cultivator to see the true age.
"The poor Taoist studied under Guo Daoren, and he is the senior brother of the blind Taoist, so he calls you Senior Brother Li. The man spoke.
"It turned out to be a senior brother. Li Xiuyuan saluted again.
The man said, "Do you want to go inside and learn spells?"
"Exactly, is there a rule that you are not allowed to enter?" Li Xiuyuan asked.
"The rules in the door do not bind Senior Brother Li, if the junior brother does not understand something, he can come to consult the poor Dao, the poor Dao has been learning spells for ten years, and there are many spells involved in the door. "It's humane.
Li Xiuyuan said: "So thank you for this senior brother." ”
He wanted to go in, but suddenly asked curiously, "I don't know what kind of magic Senior Brother is learning while sitting on the cliff?"
"Poor Dao is to learn the art of spitting swords, after practicing, exhale and spit out the sword, can pierce the rock ten zhang away, if you quench it with the gas of hardware, you can condense a breath of sword gas, and punish the evil in a hundred miles away. The man said.
"This is the art of flying swords. Li Xiuyuan was a little surprised.
"No, the sword immortal spell first practices the sword pill, which is the weapon, and the poor dao practices the qi and the dan, and the two are similar but different. The Taoist said.
