Chapter 235: Book of Heaven and "Xuandu"
Zhang Zixing pointed to the word "embarrassment" and said: "Sect Master, please see, this form should be a sacrificial name or a place name, but why it is the title of the Book of Heaven, I still don't know what it means. [No pop-up novel network]".
Zhun Ti bowed slightly, and Zhang Zixing pointed to the ten Chinese Simplified Chinese characters and said: "I have been enlightened for thousands of years, and I only know this cross, but I have gained a lot. This statement is suspected to be the general outline of the Book of Heaven, which is 'there is no self-surname in the origin, and there is no self in all laws'. ”
Later Buddhism was divided into Mahayana and Hinayana Buddhism, and Mahayana had eight major sects: Tiantai Buddhism, Three Treatises, Enlightenment Buddhism, Huayan Buddhism, Vinaya Buddhism, Tantric Buddhism, Zen Buddhism, and Pure Land Buddhism. The ideological system and the doctrine have their own uniqueness, and the teachers have their own lineages, and the emphasis on the scriptures and theories is different from each other, so they are classified according to their characteristics. The phrase "there is no self-surname in the origin, and there is no self in all laws" is the common spirit of the eight major sects.
Zhun Ti knew these ways, but he felt that the cross of this "general outline" was extremely subtle, containing supreme truth, and even expressed the essence of Western teachings, knowing that this "book from heaven" must be an extraordinary thing. Although with the cultivation of his saints, the role of this book should not be very great, but judging from this general outline, it may still become a treasure of Western teaching.
Zhang Zixing sighed and said: "The poor Dao has dull qualifications, and since then, I have not understood anything below, and I still hope that the sect leader will guide me." ”
Zhun Ti looked down carefully, and when he saw the nine peculiar symbols, he nodded and said: "This is the time of chaos, the pattern formed by the vitality of heaven and earth is very rare, and it can be called the text of ancient chaos. In fact, these are not nine words, but nine shapes, which are combined in one place to indicate a few words or special meanings. Such a nine-shaped shape can be used as the word 'Qiankun'. ”
Zhang Zixing finally learned the meaning of the nine characters, and he was a little puzzled for a while, what is the meaning of the "Qiankun" represented by the nine characters of Yuwang Jiuding?
Zhun Ti deliberately showed his erudition, and with a palm of his hand, the nine shapes appeared, and the nine shapes were combined in turn to become two words, which was the ancient character "Qiankun" he said, and Zhang Zixing also noticed that the first "shape" placed in the front was the first peculiar symbol that was shattered in his immortal consciousness in the fierce blade wind...... Zhang Zixing didn't care about being surprised, and hurriedly wrote down the order of the nine shapes, only to hear Zhun Ti and said: "This nine forms are listed under 'there is no self-surname in the origin, and there is no self in all laws', does it imply that Qiankun is reasonable?"
After Zhun Ti finished speaking, he looked down again, and what happened next made the Mixed Yuan Saint's brow furrow tightly. Zhun Ti's performance was also expected by Zhang Zixing, because the next thing was too ...... "what".
In fact, strictly speaking, some of them are indeed "reasonable": the theory of evolution, the theory of the explosion of the universe, the formula of calculus, the three laws, the table of chemical elements, the principles of quantum mechanics...... And what's even more shocking is that these things are written in a mixture of simplified characters from dozens of countries in later generations, even if you get a modern time-traveler to come over, without the use of auxiliary tools, I am afraid that it will be as big as a fight. There are even "super" questions such as "why do crocodiles cry", and the reason for the selection is very simple, because this is the most impressive and fresh question in the simulated version of Zhang Zixing's childhood enlightenment book "One Hundred Thousand Whys".
The quasi-Daoist saw that Xiaoyaozi had turned dozens of pages on the metal "Book of Heaven", all of which were strange words that even a saint himself could not understand, and Rao was that he had the cultivation of a saint, and he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
However, Zhang Zixing also showed a look of "ardent expectation", and said with a deep salute: "Sect Master, this book has a total of 100 pages, and I have sworn that whoever can interpret the whole text for me should be respected as a teacher, and I will obey my words." Teach the Lord to be perfect!"
Zhun Ti secretly screamed ashamed and sighed: "I am afraid that this book is just like the Chaos Bell, it is a congenital thing, and those who are not destined cannot read it." You have a cross with it, so you know it, and although I am a saint, I only have two words, and the rest is not known by it!"
Zhang Zixing's drama was done very well, and the expectations on his face suddenly turned into disappointment, but he seemed to be holding back the feelings of loss, and said to the Daoist: "It seems that I really have no chance with the sect leader! Although the poor Dao cultivation is not high, it is the most important promise, and I ask the sect leader not to blame." ”
The quasi-Daoist also felt helpless, but he didn't suspect that Zhang Zixing was playing a ghost, the appearance of the "Book of Heaven" was okay, but the content was extremely mysterious, and there was also a text of chaos, which was definitely not something that this Xiaoyaozi, who only had the first rank of the Golden Immortal, could fake. But Zhun Ti was never willing to let go of this "person outside his life", and was about to speak, but he heard Zhang Zixing say again: "Actually, how can I not know the sect leader's intentions? Although I admire Xitu, I am deeply favored by the king, and I still have many mundane affairs, so I can't leave the west for a while. As a sign of sincerity, I would like to send this letter to the Master, and when the Master finds someone who is destined or has a good reference, he can send one person to the Courtyard of the Teachers of the Kingdom of Chaoge, and I will keep my promise and come to the Pure Land of Western Bliss to listen to the Master's Hadiths. ”
When Zhun Ti heard that Xiaoyaozi was willing to hand over such an important book of heaven to him temporarily, he was surprised, and he believed a little more in Xiaoyaozi's admiration for Western religion.
"Although I cherish this book of heaven, this time I sincerely ask the sect leader for advice, so I am convinced and entrust this thing to the sect leader," Zhang Zixing included the "book of heaven" subtitles in it, carefully holding his hands and offering it to Zhun Ti, but his eyes fell on the three immortals who were restrained, "I don't ask the sect leader for any collateral, I just want to ask the sect leader for personal favors." These three people are my old friends, especially the friends of Jin Ling Dao who have saved my life, and I want to ask the sect master to release these three people to leave. If it is really related to your religion, it may come from me and return to the West with me. ”
Zhun Ti took the book of heaven and pressed the switch according to the method Zhang Zixing said, the text really appeared, and he was very happy in his heart, and nodded at the moment: "Daoyou has the heart to repay the kindness, and thanks to the trust, I will take the book of heaven to me, and I will consider it fulfilling." ”
After Zhun Ti finished speaking, with a flick of the Seven Treasures Miao Tree in his hand, the prohibition of the three Golden Spirit Holy Mother was immediately lifted, and they all glared angrily at the Zhun Ti Daoist. Zhun Ti didn't care either, and said: "Three Taoist friends, the poor Dao is dedicated to crossing each other, and there is no malice. Now he has interceded with this free Taoist friend, and he wants to repay Jin Lingdao's life-saving kindness. Poor Dao doesn't want to force it, please leave!"
The three of us looked at each other, and their eyes were surprised, in fact, when Kong Xuan was guiding the three of them out of trouble in the Illusion Swamp, he had explained that he was just repaying the life-saving grace for his brother, Xiaoyaozi and Kong Xuan had been together later, there was no reason not to know this, why did he come to repay the favor again?
"Receiving the grace of dripping water, when the spring is repaid, the three Taoist friends, go all the way!" Zhang Zixing stepped forward and saluted the Holy Mother of Jinling, and gave another look. Our Lady of Jin Ling understood, showed gratitude, solemnly returned the salute, and hurriedly fled with Our Lady of Turtle Spirit and Yu Yuan.
Zhang Zixing saw the three of them disappear far away, and only then did he say goodbye to Zhun Ti, who had just obtained the Book of Heaven for the first time, and was overjoyed for a while, so when he released the Three Immortals of the Sect of Interception, he didn't think much about it, and now Zhang Zixing was about to say goodbye and leave, and immediately woke up. Zhun Ti calculated that this carefree son is a person outside his fate, because of an unpredictable variable in the killing robbery, it is likely to affect the luck of the entire killing robbery, how can he easily let him go at the moment?
"Fellow Daoist, don't be anxious, since this book is so important, I also deserve it. Above me, there is another sect leader who leads the saint, who has seen and heard a lot, and is better than me, when he knows this book, why don't Taoist friends go west with me and ask for advice from the saint?"
Zhang Zixing unexpectedly proposed to go back on his word, and wanted to trick him into going to the Land of Bliss, but how to be willing to do so at the moment, he couldn't find an excuse to refuse for a while.
At this time, a voice came from the sea: "The Tao is natural, and the gathering and dispersion are all fate, so why force it?"
Zhang Zixing seemed to be a little familiar when he heard this voice, and saw a person on the sea riding on a wave and gradually approaching.
I saw that this person had white hair, looked old, wore a fishtail crown on his head, wore a white gossip robe, and rode a green ox, which was the Xuandu ** master that Zhang Zixing met in Sankun Mountain.
Zhang Zixing's face was overjoyed and shouted, "Xuandu Daoist!"
Master Xuandu nodded slightly towards Zhang Zixing, which was regarded as a greeting, and his eyes fell on the body of the quasi-Daoist.
As soon as the quasi-Daoist saw the Xuandu ** Master, and heard Zhang Zixing's title, he couldn't help but show surprise in his eyes, and said: "Daoyou, it's been a long time." ”
Master Xuandu also returned the salute and said, "Zhun Ti Daoist came to Middle Earth and came to this land of the East China Sea, should he have come for the Chaos Bell, right?"
The Quasi-Daoist shook his head and said: "The Chaos Bell is an innate treasure, and those who are not destined cannot obtain it, even if it is a saint, it is useless to force it." If a Taoist friend came for this reason, he would have come one step too late, and the bell had been taken by a Confucian Taoist friend, and he had been away from this place for a long time. ”
Master Xuandu ** looked motionless, pointed at Zhang Zixing and said, "Daoist friends let go of the Chaos Bell, presumably for the sake of people outside this life?"
Unexpectedly, Master Xuandu saw Xiaoyaozi's destiny at a glance, and secretly admired it in his heart, and replied: "This Taoist friend is deeply versed in Zen and has admired me for a long time, so he has come to Duhua for a long time. ”
Master Xuandu said with a smile: "The so-called 'crossing' of Daoyou is just like the three people who intercepted the sect, captured them with supernatural powers, and then exiled them to the land of bliss and forced to take refuge?"
The quasi-Daoist knew that Xuandu must have met the three Holy Mothers of Jinling, so he did not answer this question head-on, and replied lightly: "In the killing and robbery, each has its own luck to compete, although my western soil is located on the border and there are few people, it is also a part of the killing and robbery. I came to Middle-earth to cross the fate of the people, and I went with the sky. ”
"If you are going with the sky, why do you covet this person who is outside your life? If you are willing to settle down in the west and close your door, how can you encounter such a murder and robbery in Middle-earth? It is clear that you covet the luck of Middle-earth, have many schemes, and take advantage of the opportunity to move. In the past few days, the Western Sect and the Middle-earth Sect have their own fate, and it is inconvenient for me to intervene, but this free fellow Daoist, you must not make up your mind. ”
When the Daoist heard this, he sneered: "Fellow Daoist, you are a pure person, you are a pure person, you are not at ease, why are you involved in this dispute?
Xuandu ** Shi is still that idle color: "If you want to go against the sky, I'm afraid that it's the quasi-mention Taoist friend and the Taoist friend who leads the Taoist, there must be a fate in life, and there is no reason in life to force it, and each has a cause and don't envy people!
As soon as the dog Rong was mentioned, the face of the quasi-Tidao people suddenly couldn't hang up, and the great merchant went west to conquer the dog Rong, and with the help of the interception sect, he laid down the Jiuqu Yellow River Formation, and fell to his cadres, and he himself also missed a move and was defeated by the Tongtian Sect Master. As a result, the dog Rong was destroyed, and those disciples, including the head of the five Ming kings, Fudo Ming Wang, were all captured and beheaded, so that nearly half of the Western religious elite was lost. For this reason, the people who received the Tao were also heartbroken, and strictly ordered all the people in the sect to go east without authorization, and Zhun Ti also came eastward because of this, and went around to "cross" those who were "destined", supplementing the strength of the sect, and the matter of dogs and dogs was really a shame for the Western religion.
The more Zhang Zixing heard this, the more surprised he became, his eyes were staring at the "Xuandu Daoist", the tone of this Xuandu ** master and the attitude of the quasi-Daoist were very strange, it didn't seem to be like the conversation between the Xuanxian and the saint at all, and the Zhun Ti seemed to be quite jealous of Xuandu.
Next, the words of the two began to conflict, each with a sharp edge, without showing weakness, and finally the quasi-Taoist couldn't hold it back, and the Seven Treasures Miaoshu showed his hand towards the Xuandu ** master. The ** master of Xuandu did not get off the green cow, and an extra crutch came out of his hand and greeted him.
If at this time, Zhang Zixing, who claims to be a fan of the gods, still can't determine the true identity of the "Xuandu ** Master", then it can really only be described as dull.
Where is he the Xuandu ** teacher, he is basically the master of the human sect - Lao Tzu!
Zhang Zixing was a little dumbfounded for a while: Unexpectedly, it was Lao Tzu himself who "discussed" with him in Sankun Mountain! At that time, Lao Tzu called himself Xuandu and admitted that he was from Bajing Palace, but he did not explain that he was the ** master of Xuandu. I remember that in the plot of the Yellow River Array in the original work, Yunxiao mentioned Lao Tzu, and he was once called "Master Xuandu", and there seemed to be places like "Xuandu Purple Mansion" in the Bajing Palace, which turned out to be the case. If you want to blame, you blame yourself for being too preconceived at the beginning, and you didn't think about it at all.
Zhang Zixing remembered again that the place where he met Lao Tzu with Hanzhixian last time was strictly speaking, it was not Sankun Mountain, but another famous place - Hangu Pass!
Although Hangu Pass was built during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It is named because it is in the valley, and the danger is like a letter. From the east to the mountain, west to Tongjin, known as Hangu, known as natural insurance. But the important thing is not this "natural risk", but the story of Lao Tzu's letter to Guhua Hu in the future. Lao Tzu's transformation of Hu into Shakyamuni has also become a very controversial topic in the later Buddhism, and even in the Western Jin Dynasty, there was a book "Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing".
Could it be that he is related to the legendary Yin Xi who Lao Tzu went west to preach? And the "person outside the fate" in the mouth of the two saints seems to indicate himself, and Zhun Ti has also wanted to keep himself several times because of this. What is the significance of this outsider in this murder?
Zhang Zixing was thinking wildly, and the battle between the two saints in the field had progressed to a white-hot level.
