Chapter 84: Travelogue

After the hustle and bustle, there is a quiet. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Cao Xu came alone to the Xuanling Mountain opposite the Hanging Temple, where the stone wall that was once engraved with the scriptures of the "Nirvana Kurong Zen Sutra" now only has a few remnants left.

Smiled indifferently, Cao Xushen stroked the scars on the stone wall, and the scriptures of the "Nirvana Withering Glory Zen Sutra" flowed through his mind.

Today, he has completed his cultivation of the method of withering glory and has also comprehended the more advanced path of nirvana.

The path to nirvana has two realms, the first is the "realm of birth and death" and the second is the realm of transcendence.

If you cultivate the "realm of life and death", you can be reborn in Nirvana, and if you cultivate to the "realm of transcendence", you can hope to be reborn in the Elysian World.

This is quite similar to the "god out of yin" and "out of the god yang" in Taoist practice.

The yin god is the ghost immortal, and there is a cloud in "Zhong Lu Ecclesiastical Collection": "The ghost immortal is under the five immortals, the yin is detached, the god is unknown, the ghost has no surname, and the three mountains are nameless. ”

Ghosts and immortals are the most inferior in cultivation, and they can be reincarnated, taken away, borrowed corpses, reincarnated, etc.

However, if you can turn the yin god into yang and achieve the yang god, you can wander into the void and fly to the heavenly realm.

Regarding what rebirth in Elysium, flying to the heavenly realm, Cao Xu was noncommittal. Without investigation, there is no voice.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps behind him.

Cao Xu turned to look, but saw that the person who came was an old nun in gray clothes.

"Dare to ask Shi Taifa?" Cao Xu saluted and asked.

"Amitabha, poor nuns are quiet. The old nun said.

"It turned out to be Dingjing Shitai, and I have heard of Shitai's name for a long time, and when I see it today, it is indeed a vain man under the fame. Another innate master has been added to the rivers and lakes. Cao Xu said.

There was no sadness or joy in Master Dingjing's eyes, and he said calmly: "Amitabha, the poor nun just has a slight understanding of the Buddhist principles of the Zen Sutra. ”

Cao Xu nodded, when he comprehended the "Nirvana Kurong Zen Sutra", he started from the aspect of martial arts and mental methods, while Master Dingjing started from the Zen Sutra and Buddhism, and the outline was followed. More authentic, but also more subtle.

Although the Quanzhen Sect emphasizes the "integration of three religions", it is still based on the Taoist mind, and the same is true of Cao Xu's practice. Even though he cultivated the "Nirvana Dry Glory Zen Sutra" to the state of perfection, he still fell short when it came to the subtle changes in the spiritual level.

"Master Dingjing, is that the hole card that the Hengshan Sect has always refused to agree to merge into the Quanzhen Sect?" Cao Xu asked.

Cao Xu's eyes were faintly flickering with flames, his gaze was sharp, like a sword, and as far as his eye could see, it was the various nodes of the changes in the qi and blood of Master Dingjing's body.

Master Dingjing snorted, took three steps back, and said after a little respite: "Amitabha, the poor nun will persuade the two junior sisters to let go of their obsessions." ”

Under the persuasion of Master Dingjing, Dingxian and Dingyi finally agreed to merge into the Quanzhen Sect.

Cao Xu's trip to Hengshan also came to a successful end.

The only thing that surprised him was the breakthrough of Master Dingjing. "Nirvana Kurong Zen Sutra" did not achieve Linghu Chong, but it achieved the Dingjing Shitai, the head of the three determinations of Heng Mountain.

At the foot of Heng Mountain, Cao Xu looked back in the direction of the top of the mountain and nodded with satisfaction.

The next stop is Jungnan Mountain.

Half a month later, Cao Xu, who was all the way up the mountain Range Rover, came to Chongyang Palace slowly and saw Feng Buping, who was elected as a barrister of the Quanzhen Sect.

Over the years, Feng Buping led the monks of the Quanzhen Sect to study Taoism in the Chongyang Palace, improve the doctrine, and made outstanding contributions to the development of the Quanzhen Sect.

"Senior nephew Lin, why do you have time to come to Chongyang Palace to see me, a bad old man?" Feng Buping asked with a smile.

"Uncle Feng laughed, you should be old and strong, but you can't get along with the bad old man. Cao Xu said.

Since the cultivation of "Jiuyang Divine Skill" went crazy and exhausted his martial arts, Feng Buping has devoted all his energy to the study of Taoism.

"My nephew is here to ask my uncle to preside over the compilation of a travelogue. Cao Xu said.

"What kind of travelogue?" Feng Buping asked a little strangely.

"A travelogue of Lao Tzu's journey to the west to educate sentient beings and turn Hu into a Buddha. This travelogue must be easy to understand and disseminate, but it must also integrate the essence of Taoism into it, and it has both, and this burden can only be picked up by you, Uncle Shi. Cao Xu said.

Feng Buping "haha" smiled: "Okay, I will take this matter." ”

Cao Xu said: "In addition to Lao Tzu, I have already chosen a role for my uncle, a character who protects Lao Tzu along the way to the west, has great magical powers, and can subdue demons and eliminate demons." ”

"Oh, what kind of character?" Feng Buping asked.

"No branches. Cao Xu said.

Wu Zhi Qi, alias Wu Zhi Qi. According to historical records such as the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", Wu Zhiqi is a strange demon in the Yao Shunyu period, born in Huaguo Mountain in Tongbai Mountain in southern Henan, and is a natural monkey. Later, he married the dragon girl and gave birth to three sons, all of whom were demon kings with great powers.

He regarded himself as the god of water in the Huai Whirlpool, and built a dragon palace in the Huai River, and his influence spread to the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. He once led more than 100,000 mountain spirits and water monsters to fight King Yu in Huaiyuan, and was later surrendered by Gengchen and imprisoned under the Turtle Mountain in the lower reaches of the Huai River.

Later, the story of Wu Zhiqi was moved to "Journey to the West" by Wu Chengen, and it became a popular havoc in the Heavenly Palace, and Wu Zhiqi was also transformed into the Monkey King.

There is no Tang Seng, but there is Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu's forced style is 108,000 zhang higher than Tang Seng, the monkey has it, the mount green cow has it, and it also needs a pig demon with a lot of background, a diligent coolie.

Cao Xu and Feng Buping discussed the "plot" with great interest, for example, eating a piece of Lao Tzu's meat can make you immortal, so many demons and monsters who don't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth jumped out one after another .......

Feng Buping greatly appreciated Cao Xu's idea, patted his chest and made a guarantee, he would definitely do this thing beautifully.

Three days later, Cao Xu came to Huashan. Zhongnan Mountain Chongyang Palace is dominated by monks, while Huashan is the base camp of Huoju Taoists.

In the sword qi rushing into the Xiao Hall, Cao Xu and Yue Buqun talked about the affairs of the Hengshan faction, and when it came to Linghu Chong, Yue Buqun sighed, for this big disciple, he had completely given up.

If the Huashan faction is handed over to Ling Hu Chong, will Ling Hu Chong be able to suppress the other branches and ensure the Huashan faction's control over the Quanzhen Sect? Will he be able to shoulder the burden of the Quanzhen Sect and the imperial court game and preaching the world?

Cao Xu skipped the matter of Linghu Chong, when he said that the Hengshan faction was willing to merge into the Quanzhen Taoist system and become a branch of the Quanzhen Sect, Yue Buqun was greatly excited, the Hengshan faction was attached, and the Shaolin Temple closed the mountain.

This will be a feast for the Quanzhen Sect.
