Chapter 20: Hongjun's Sermon II
There was silence in Zixiao Palace, and just when he was about to start preaching, two figures quickly ran into Zixiao Palace, one of them was kind and kind-eyed, with yellow skin, an old man's appearance, and the other was holding a strange branch, with seven branches below, and a middle-aged man, but at this time, the two of them were extremely depressed, with messy hair and untidy clothes, and due to excessive mana consumption, they looked extremely poor.
At this time, the middle-aged man cried and complained: "Senior brother, you and I are far away in the barren land of the West, the road is far away, I almost missed the time to hear the sermon, and now I don't even have a place to rest" The miserable voice of the middle-aged man really made the listener cry and the listener sad. It's just that Fu Xi didn't care, because he felt that these seats were a big opportunity, and he just lost them, and he couldn't let Nuwa lose them too. So Fu Xi secretly put his hand on Nuwa's shoulder and signaled her not to meddle in her affairs, and Nuwa naturally ignored it anymore.
"Daoist friends, let's rest here first," at this time, Hongyun next to Nuwa spoke.
"Quasi-thanking fellow Daoists, at the end of the day I know that there is a name, and I will repay the kindness of Daoist friends when he can wait for the future"
"Poor Dao Hongyun, there is no need to worry about such a trivial matter, please sit down" Hongyun invited again, but the middle-aged man named Zhun Ti did not sit down, but led the kind old man to the seat.
"Thank you for the red cloud Daoyou" I don't know if the person who received the guide was really tired, and he didn't sit on the futon politely.
Hongyun saw that Zhun Ti ignored himself and gave up the futon to the guide, and couldn't help but feel Zhun Ti's brotherhood, so he turned his head to Kunpeng in the last seat and said: "Kunpeng Daoyou, why don't you give the futon to the Quasi-Ti Daoist to rest for a while, and then return it to you when the Quasi-Ti Daoist has rested enough."
Kunpeng, who was originally pretending to be deaf and dumb on the futon, immediately became the focus of everyone, and couldn't help but feel a burst of pressure, so he had to let the futon out, he knew that suffering would not let him Kunpeng immediately become a stingy person in the eyes of everyone, and after saying thank you, he sat on the futon and breathed.
A figure appeared on the podium, and everyone didn't know when he appeared, and they felt that he was there in the first place, so he was naturally Hongjun Ancestor. Hongjun sat on the futon, glanced at the stage and said: "In the future, I will sit in this position, and I must not change it."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone immediately guessed that there was another mystery in this futon, and they couldn't help but regret that they didn't fight hard at the beginning, and Kunpeng regretted that his intestines were blue, but Hongjun Ancestor had already said that the seat could not be changed, and he couldn't help but hold a grudge against Hongyun in his heart. In this way, the first six people sat on the futon, and the others sat on the ground of the main hall to listen to the sermon, and the gate of Zixiao Palace was also closed.
Hongjun saw that everyone was seated and began to preach, "I started to preach the avenue, that is, the ancestor of the Tao, my preaching is divided into three times, a total of 3,000 avenues, 800 side doors, this is the first preaching, for a thousand years,"
"Before the beginning of heaven and earth, there was a thing, born of chaos, born of nature and earth...... Tao gives birth to one, one life gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, three gives birth to all things, heaven and earth, earth legal person, human law and Tao, Tao law and natural ......" With the sound of the Dao Ancestor's avenue, the vision is presented, and the earth is full of golden lotus, which is all made of the mysteries of the avenue.
When Hongjun Daozu preached, he would transform all kinds of understanding and perception of the Great Dao into various laws and show them, and directly present them in everyone's minds, and there would be no misunderstanding, but there were many kinds of Daozu preaching, and everyone could only choose from them to listen to them.
The visions of the people listening to the sermon below are varied, Lao Tzu's head appears three golden lotus flowers, yin and yang are presented, blending and circulating, and from time to time they gather into the phase of Taiji. At the beginning of the year, there were also three golden lotuses, surrounded by thousands of golden lamps, ten thousand golden flowers, and the rui qi appeared, and the qi of the three talents was condensed. There are also three golden lotuses on the head of Tongtian, which is the image of the three flowers gathering at the top, the image of the five qi dynasties, and there is a ball of green qi condensed into a sword shape, which is impermanent. Nuwa is a giant snake swimming in a cloud of white mist, purple thunder and lightning and green life force appearing from time to time, destroying and renewing life endlessly. The introduction and the quasi-mention are a piece of golden light, which has the appearance of the golden body, that is, the sense of compassion of all sentient beings, and the meaning of King Kong's angry eyes and demons. The vision of Fuxi is the simplest, a giant snake swims around in a yin and yang gossip pattern, yin and yang are combined, and the eight hexagrams show infinite changes. The rest of the crowd also manifested visions with their own realizations.
The crowd was attracted by the sound of the avenue, and they didn't know how time had passed, and it wasn't until Hongjun stopped preaching that everyone came to their senses. "This is the end of this sermon, and it will be preached again after three thousand years, and you will come back to listen to it when the time comes" After Hongjun finished speaking, he disappeared without waiting for everyone's reaction, and the two boys and girls also retreated into the apse, and the door that had been closed for a thousand years was reopened.
The people who heard the sermon had gained a lot over the past thousand years and left one after another, preparing to retreat and practice. Fuxi and Nuwa flew towards the valley where the white jade wine gourd was hidden. When the two came to the valley again, Fu Xi rushed into the valley and took out the sprinkled gourd, poured a few sips of spiritual wine, closed his eyes and remained motionless, and only opened them for a while, and said at the same time: "Damn, I haven't drunk for more than a thousand years, and I've suffocated Lao Tzu."
At this time, Nuwa stared at Fu Xi, looked up and down several times before saying: "Brother is a little different from just now, but this is what Brother really looks like."
"Of course it's different, I'm the real me now" Fu Xi thought in his heart, but there was another way of saying it in his mouth, "There's no way, I can't drink when I get addicted to alcohol, and I have endured it for more than a thousand years, so I am inevitably a little impatient."
"Cut, you have to die to save face and suffer a crime, can Daozu still blame Daozu if you drink some wine?" Nuwa rolled her eyes with a look of disdain.
"It's not a question of blame or not, the key is our own attitude, if drinking when listening to the sermon is really disrespectful to the Taoist ancestor, how can we continue to listen to the sermon" At this time, Fu Xi had a straight face, without the cynicism of the past.
"Okay, whatever you say is what you say, but don't complain if you are addicted to alcohol in the future" Nuwa didn't say anything more, after all, this was Fuxi's own business, and Nuwa didn't want to interfere.
The two of them flew towards Buzhou Mountain, and after leaving for many years, it was time to go home to take a look, Fu Xi flew in the sky, holding the white jade gourd in his hand, and thought in his heart, "Are you too careful, maybe the Heavenly Dao is not as strong as you imagined, no, no, no, there is no big mistake in being careful, next time you have to continue, if your identity as a traverser is discovered, you will know what will happen, in case the Dao of Heaven directly destroys itself, there will be no place to cry when the time comes" Fu Xi grabbed the gourd in his hand again, for fear that it would disappear.
Fu Xi has always been worried that his identity as a traverser will be discovered, so he tried every means to hide this biggest secret of himself, after years of research, he finally came up with a way to deceive the Heavenly Dao, that is, to change his memory, as the so-called want to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself, if you think that you are just a native of the Hong Desolate Creature, only after the birth of the Desolate Memory, then who can find your own secret? Even the Heavenly Dao cannot. Hongjun preached that this period of time was the closest time for him to the Heavenly Dao, so when Fu Xi separated the memories in his mind and sealed them in his white jade gourd before going to Zixiao Palace to listen to the sermon, and at the same time imprinted some false memories of himself that he had perfected with nearly a million years in the gourd, so that even if someone could check his memory, he would not be able to find out about Fu Xi's crossing. However, there is also a problem with this method, that is, how to get back the memory in the gourd afterwards, if Bi Jing does not take back the original memory, Fuxi will become another person in some ways, and thus lose himself. It took Fu Xi a long time to think of a way, which is why Fu Xi sealed his memories in the gourd and did not exist anywhere else. First of all, drinking by yourself has become a habit, the white jade gourd has followed him for millions of years, and Fu Xi is the easiest to come into contact with, as long as the settings are made in advance, when Fu Xi comes into contact with the gourd, the memories sealed inside will be exchanged with those false memories in the brain, so it is the safest. Secondly, the gourd was filled with wine, and it seemed disrespectful to Hongjun to take it to listen to the sermon, so that there was a reason to leave it behind, and it was even more difficult to be discovered. This is the method that Fu Xi spent hundreds of thousands of years to think of to deceive the way of heaven, which consumed countless efforts and solved countless problems, especially the false memory that was revised more than 100,000 times before and after, so that Fu Xi was satisfied and did not miss the slightest flaw.
Nuwa felt something because she had been with Fu Xi for a long time, but she didn't find anything, just as Fu Xi said, in order to show her respect for the Taoist Ancestor, she became addicted to it, and her temper became a little irritable.
Fu Xi and the two of them quickly flew towards Buzhou Mountain, and suddenly a wave of aura fluctuations attracted the two, and the two of them stopped for a moment, and then flew in the direction where the aura fluctuations came from. When the two arrived, they found that there were four figures standing there, and after a closer look, they were still acquaintances, Sanqing and Hongyun, the four of them were staring at a spiritual root, and when they saw Fuxi and the two coming, Hongyun first greeted: "Fuxi, Nuwa's two Taoist friends came just in time, and the Lingbao is about to mature, even if you are fated, you can get one, how about Sanqing Taoist friends."
"This spirit is the first to be found by the Red Cloud Daoist, how can we disagree" Tongtian, who is the most temperamental among the three Qings, spoke first.
"Thank you so much, fellow Daoists" Fu Xi has seen the appearance of the spiritual root at this time, on a long vine, there are seven gourds of different colors, and understand that this is the gourd vine among the ten innate spiritual roots, and the seven gourds it produces are all high-grade innate spiritual treasures, although Fu Xi has several pieces, but who will have too many innate spiritual treasures?
At this time, the gourd was not yet fully ripe, and the six people had to wait patiently, and soon after, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi also came here, so there were exactly seven people. The gourd was also fully ripe, and the seven men stepped forward to pick one each, and then left. Fu Xi gathered the withered gourd vines on the ground after everyone left. As one of the top ten innate spiritual roots, this gourd vine is born with the power of the five elements of yin and yang, although this long vine is withered, it is also the best refining material, and Fu Xi remembers that his sister Nuwa seems to have used the gourd vine when she created people, although I don't know if it is this root, but if you are prepared, you can put it away.
Fu Xi looked at the black gourd in his hand, which was the one of the seven gourds with the Yin attribute, and there was a space inside it that could nourish the soul. According to the legends of later generations and Fu Xi's speculation, what Lao Tzu took should be a water attribute gourd, which can be used to load things and take people, if a living creature is taken in, it will be turned into pus for a while, and it will be used by Lao Tzu to hold pills. What Yuan Shi took away was the earth attribute gourd, which contained a grain of divine sand, which could turn thousands of people into thousands of things, and the fascination hurt people. The gourd that reaches the sky is a wood attribute that can contain elixir and spiritual grass. Red Cloud's is a fire attribute gourd, which was later refined into a red cloud scattered gourd. The metallic gourd was obtained by Nuwa, and Fu Xi had already seen it, and later it was used to hold demon flags, and it is said that it was finally turned into a demon refining pot. The yang gourd was taken away by the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, which should be the predecessor of the famous Immortal Cutting Flying Knife.
