Chapter 6 Visiting the Taoist Palace and Entering the Spirit
Entering the Dao, of course, is not ascending.
But a man has entered the path.
The people of the world always admire the gods, travel to the East China Sea at dusk, and sit quietly in the Yellow Court. Seeking a leisure, envy it, he called himself a "Taoist" or "Taoist".
It has been three months since Shizi Xuan entered the Qingwei Cave Heaven, and after reading a lot of immortal classics, he knows that most of the oral traditions in the world are false.
In the ancient world, most of the people who practiced qi were outsiders, who seized heaven and earth to create, invaded the mysteries of the sun and the moon, and obtained the Tao but did not have the law.
Therefore, the most Taoist seeks is the road, not the Tao.
The nature is harmonious, the heart seeks the law, understands the true face, and can be called a real person.
If a real person cultivates again, his merits are complete, he vows to Pudu, he obtains the Dharma into the void, he goes through thousands of calamities without destroying it, and he succeeds in casting the Guodan Book, which is the true carefree, the archmage.
Taoist priest, real person, mage.
Taoist priests can be divided: Zheng Xuan people, Zheng Dao Zheng, Zheng Dao Order.
Real people can be divided: Dacheng real people, Miao Cheng real people, Miao Xing real people.
The Dharma Master is inseparable, and after obtaining the Dharma, according to the merits, either as an immortal, or as a Buddha, or as a Purdue Bodhisattva, or as a Great Awakening Arhat, he can be called a sound master according to his own nature.
Shi Zixuan was thoughtful and asked Xu Changqing which one he is now.
Xu Changqing said with a smile, he is already in the Dao, and he is still lawless.
Listening to his witty fight, Shi Zixuan secretly guessed that the fourth senior brother was at least in the realm of a wonderful real person.
"Little junior brother, since you have entered the Dao, come with me to the Dao Palace tomorrow. We refer to the Moon Xuanguang Cave, although it is a little special, but after all, Qingwei Cave is not only our vein, we don't see it when we look up, we always have to go to receive the Taoist. ”
If you enter the Tao, you can be called a Taoist. According to the cultivation path, according to the world, it is the text, and in the officialdom, it is the official seal.
Shi Zixuan was dumbfounded when he heard this, and asked weakly: "Fourth Senior Brother, are we going to go to the Taoist Temple to take up a post in the future?"
Xu Changqing listened inexplicably: "Of course, don't say it's you, it's me and your sixth senior brother, we have to go out of the mountains to travel every thirty years, but there are thousands of mountains and rivers, and we don't see all kinds of things in the world, how to seek harmony for ourselves?"
Then he suddenly smiled and said, "Little junior brother, don't you think that you will live on Feilai Peak for the rest of your life in the future?"
Shizi Xuan laughed twice, and said in his heart, can I tell you that when I came, were I still thinking about when I would be able to sneak down the mountain?
If these words reached the ears of the patriarch, Shi Zixuan estimated that although the old man looked at the kind eyebrows, he might be furious and kick him down the mountain.
The next day, Xu Changqing took his master Xuan and left the Qilin Cliff.
Qingyang Dao Palace is not in the realm of Xuanguang Cave, Xu Changqing took his master Xuan, did not drive the clouds or ride, took a green leaf, pinched a trick, turned into a flying boat, and carried the two of them across the sea of clouds.
Qingyang Dao Palace falls on Qingyang Peak, which is the middle of the Dao vein.
Here belong to the five veins, and the consul general of the Tao, such as planting herbs, raising spirit animals in captivity, assessing Dao Gong, refining talismans, etc., are jointly controlled by the five veins.
The five halls in the interior, the Hall of Merit, the Hall of Tianfu, the Hall of Broken Army, the Taiyin Division, and the Hall of Qianyang.
Northwest Tianfu Palace, white jade and red gold, glazed paving, there is its own light in the enlargement.
As soon as the two of them entered the hall, they saw a Taoist boy come forward and say, "I've seen the little master, but I want to see the head of the palace?"
Xu Changqing returned the salute and said: "This is my little junior brother, who has just entered the teacher's door, and now he has entered the Tao and is about to receive the Taoist position. ”
Dao Tong hurriedly saluted Shi Zixuan and said, "Disciple Qingfeng, I have seen the little master." ”
Shi Zixuan hurriedly returned the salute, and secretly spat out the Dao name of Qingfeng in his heart.
followed Qingfeng into the inner hall, and after waiting for a while, the Qingfeng Dao Tong led a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a cloud hanging robe.
"I've seen the little master. The middle-aged Taoist priest saluted.
"Senior Brother Song, this is my little junior brother, the teacher's new disciple. Xu Changqing seemed to respect him very much and bowed.
"The ancestor has accepted disciples again?" Senior Brother Song glanced at Shi Zixuan in surprise, and sighed as if admiring: "Sure enough, it is the ancestor lineage, and they are all elders of the Fu Dao." ”
Let's say goodbye, salute Master Zixuan. Shi Zixuan didn't think it was strange.
Speaking of which, Shi Zixuan always felt that the Xuanguang Cave was a bit shameless, why? Because one of the veins of the Xuanguang Cave is the inheritance of master and apprentice, and one vein is passed on.
It is said that when the Feilai Mountain landed here, there was an ancestor in the Qingwei Cave Heaven who practiced in it, and later the other four veins settled in the Qingwei Cave Heaven.
Each of the paths and veins is all collected by generation.
Therefore, although the vein of the Moon Xuanguang Cave is scarce, it is all passed down by the ancestors, and it is scary to be high according to the generation.
Among the disciples of these four veins, there are many people who have entered the Tao earlier and have practiced exquisitely, but when they meet the disciples of the first line of the ancestor, they all have to bow first and call them "little master".
"Little master, to enter the Taoist book, you need to assess the three rites, and explain the Taoist text with more than three words. Song Daoren said.
The three rites of Taoism, the scriptures, the Dharma rites, and the human rites.
The Taoist text is not the words on the Taoist scriptures, but the initiator can freely enter the Dudou Palace, and then he can listen to the Dharma and explain the Tao and write it himself.
This writing may be shaped like a snake and scorpion, or into a melon or fruit, or like a dot or a face, or like a string, or like a grain of sand...... All kinds of people cannot be recognized by those who have not entered the Tao.
Shi Zixuan nodded, and followed him into the main hall of the Tianfu Palace, where he was assessed by the three deacons.
"Little master, the Sutra Examination School 'All Wishes are Rooted in the Wisdom Sutra', the Dharma Rite Examination School 'Praise the Void Dharma Realm Longevity Immortal Buddha Immeasurable Merit Wish to Receive the Sutra', and the Human Rite Examination School 'Sacrifice Great Examination Sutra'. ”
Shi Zixuan listened to the greasy taste, this is all endorsed things, metaphysical salutes, the speed of chanting scriptures, the action of holding the floating scriptures, the tricks, clothing, hair crown patterns, there are strict requirements.
But these are all guys who will eat in the future, although Shi Zixuan doesn't like it very much, but he still does it meticulously.
The three ceremonial deacons carefully recorded, assessed, zuihou evaluated, and the first class was excellent.
"Congratulations, the little master is really talented. Song Daoren praised it, but it was not a boast, everyone did it, but different people did it, and the appearance was naturally 108,000 miles away.
Later, he took the sermon test.
Shi Zixuan washed his hands and cleansed himself, lit the incense, sat in meditation in the sky, twisted a trick, and his soul sense jumped, and he entered the Dudou Palace.
Continuous mountains, a pool of deep lakes, there is a cave outside the fog, blocked by the golden lock, it is the world's immortal mansion, the immortal palace.
This Dudou Palace is different from yesterday, and the water in the lake has risen a point. It is green and misty, and there is a hidden fog.
Shi Zixuan "floated" over and went to meditate, and in this dreamy atmosphere, a copper pillar was quickly erected.
On this bronze pillar, it was originally smooth, but suddenly a lot of words were densely born, and they suffered obediently, and ordinary people did not necessarily know any of them.
In a flash, Shi Zixuan opened his eyes and wrote three words.
The three deacons stepped forward to watch, only to see that these three words were round and transparent, the divine light was restrained, and the blue light was shrouded, which was extraordinary.
Song Daoren nodded secretly, took a small scale, and held the paper in it.
"The word weighs three baht, a total of nine numbers, and it is superior. ”
Song Daoren reported the number, and the three deacons praised in harmony.
Shizi Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Xu Changqing also stroked his beard and admired.
But after a while, a Taoist boy brought a jade plate.
There is a Taoist robe, a red edict, and a large seal.
This garment is Chiyuan Yang Ming clothes, weighing nine baht, not stained with mortal dust, embroidered with yin and yang fish, embroidered with merit pool, can fly down three feet in the air, and can also freely pass yin and yang.
I don't know how the red edict was refined, but as soon as Shi Zixuan held it in his hand, the edict turned into a red light and flew into the center of his eyebrows.
Shizi Xuan frowned slightly, knowing that the edict had entered the Dudou Palace and sank into the Xuantan, and as soon as it fell, the Xuantan Spirit Pool immediately fell by half a point.
"Congratulations to the little junior brother, from now on you will enter the Tao and live forever, and the fruits of the Tao can be expected. Xu Changqing bowed and exclaimed.
Song Daoren and the three deacons also congratulated.
Shi Zixuan hurriedly returned the salute, and the Song Daoist said: "Little master, this is sealed by the gods and put away, it is not easy to get." In the future, lead the gods to protect the Dharma, and choose them carefully. ”
Shi Zixuan hurriedly put it away, and with a thought, he also took it to the Dudou Palace and used the spirit pool to warm it.
Xu Changqing also advised: "Little junior brother, in the future, when you go out of the mountain to stand up, you must choose a god of pure blessing, protect each other, and don't be contemptuous." ”
Shi Zixuan nodded, and wrote it down carefully, this book is recorded.
When Xu Changqing saw this, he led him out of Tianfu Hall and went to Qianyang Hall instead.
"Sure enough, it is the ancestor of the lineage, and he is a blessed and free person. Seeing the two leave, a ceremonial deacon couldn't help but admire.
"Don't say much. Song Daoren shouted: "Everyone goes to their own places, I will go to see the head of the hall first." ”
The three ceremonial deacons hurriedly retreated, and Song Daoren's eyes were cloudy and uncertain for a long time, and he accepted the certificate and turned around and entered the inner hall.
"Disciple Song Yu, ask to see the head of the hall. ”
A moment later, a clear voice came: "Come in." ”
Song Daoren pushed the door in, bowed his head and hurried.
This inner hall is bright and bright, the altar is high, and the purple air lingers in the air.
More than a dozen little immortals stood on both sides, and a young Taoist sat in the middle, his eyebrows and eyes were lowered, and when he saw Song Daoren entering, he said slowly: "You are not practicing in the outer hall, what are you doing here?"
Song Daoren hurriedly saluted and said: "Just now, the little master of Xuanguang Cave came and brought a young man into the Xuanzi line, who is a disciple of the new Xuanzi generation of the patriarch. ”
The young Taoist sighed and said, "Bring it." ”
Song Daoren hurriedly presented the Dao Ribbon and handed it over by a little immortal.
The young Taoist looked at it at will, stopped at the place where the master Xuanlu was named, and watched it for a long time, but he didn't know what thoughts were turning in his heart.
After a while, the young Taoist suddenly summoned a red pen, dotted it with black ink, and made a stroke on it at random.
The young Taoist closed the Taoist ribbon, and Song Daoren stepped forward to take it.
"Go ahead. ”
The young Taoist waved his hand, and Song Daoren respectfully retreated. Out of the inner hall, he couldn't help but be curious, opened the Dao Ribbon and took a look, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, like falling into an ice cellar.
