Chapter 408: The Patriarch's teachings moved the masses, and his ascension to heaven shocked the world

One year later.

On this day, Fang Yi started preaching.

Because this is the true teaching, it is not open to the public. Only the Taoists from Huangshan Taoist Palace can attend this lecture.

Of course, Fang Yi’s family members are indispensable.

He has already imprinted the art of summoning spirits on his parents, brothers and sisters, and the younger generations, but except for his younger brother Fang Yuan, no one else has learned how to use it, so naturally they don't know how to borrow the power.

Today we will mainly talk about techniques.

"What are Tao, Fa and Shu?"

Fang Yi raised the question.

Xu Xiaoli and Li Shiyuan, two direct disciples, certainly understood this.

It’s just that their cultivation is quite high, so naturally they can’t raise their hands to answer, so they have to leave the opportunity to others.

This was the first time that Abbot Zheng Xian came into contact with this aspect in a real sense. He was the first to raise his hand and said, "Teacher."

Fang Yi nodded and said, "Abbot Zheng, please tell me your opinion."

Zheng Xian said: "Tao is the source, Fa is the theory, and Shu is the method. This is how I understand it personally, I don't know if it's correct."

"Abbot Zheng is right." Fang Yi nodded in appreciation. Although Zheng Xian was really exposed to this for the first time, there were countless Taoist scriptures in Huangshan Daojun Palace. Anyone who was interested could read them. As the abbot, it was not surprising for Zheng Xian to know these. He continued, "A technique is a fixed method. For example, when using fire, I only need to teach you a formula, a method of moving qi, and then you can perform it."

As he said that, he looked at Xu Xiaoli's apprentice Zhang Mengmeng, "Mengmeng."

Seventeen or eighteen-year-old Zhang Mengmeng quickly stood up and bowed, "Ancestor."

Fang Yi said: "It just so happens that you haven't practiced the technique yet, so I'll teach you the One-Five Fire Palm Technique. Remember the formula: red, yang, three, five, to, Ershe."

Here, “zhi” is pronounced as “chi” and “er” is pronounced as “qi”.

Fang Yi went on to say, "Red Yang Three Five to Er She, this is something you recite aloud, and you also have to pinch your hands, which are Yin, Chou, Yu Wen, Chen, Si, and Wu. Men have the left position and women have the right position. Use your right hand to pinch your hands, and when you recite the word She, flick your thumb from the Wu position, which is at the top of the middle finger. When you recite the word Chi, think of the sky fire descending into your body; when you recite the word Yang, think of the earth fire rising; when you recite the word San, think of the Samadhi true fire rising within you; when you recite the word Wu, think of the five thunder fire descending into your body; when you recite the two words Zhi Er, think of a line of red light from the Great Red Heavenly Palace drooping down and directly penetrating your whole body; when you recite the last word She, think of flames filling your body inside and out."

After saying this, he told the other party the qi circulation route.

After finishing his speech, Fang Yi said, "Try it."

Zhang Mengmeng first thanked the master for teaching her the skills, and then recited the formulas and made hand gestures according to what Fang Yi had said.

Dozens of people present all looked over. They knew that Zhang Mengmeng had never learned any magic before, and they wanted to know if the master could pass on his skills to Zhang Mengmeng to learn magic.

At the beginning, Zhang Mengmeng was not very skilled and couldn't use magic at all.

Fang Yi did not blame him, but just taught his disciple how to perform the technique carefully.

Ten minutes later.

With a whoosh, five different colored flames suddenly rose from Zhang Mengmeng's right palm, gathering momentum but not releasing it.

Fang Yi pointed to the rock at the door and said, "Use your spirit to control the fire and throw the five fires in your hand onto the rock."

"Okay, Grandmaster."

As Zhang Mengmeng spoke, she struck the rock from mid-air in full view of everyone.

With a loud bang!

The rock was immediately blown into pieces and exploded!

Zhang Mengmeng was shocked, "Ah? This Five Fire Palm Technique is so fierce?"

"hiss!"

"The technique passed down by the ancestor is indeed extremely powerful!"

"If this move hits a person, will it still work?"

The group of young Taoist priests were shocked and burst into uproar.

As the current palace master, Xu Xiaoli was now her mentor giving a lecture, so she naturally had to protect her mentor's dignity. She immediately frowned and shouted, "Silence!"

Everyone quickly shut their mouths.

Fang Yi was very satisfied with Xu Xiaoli's behavior. This girl has grown a lot in the past hundred years, from a jumpy "neurotic" to the mature and steady person she is now. It must be said that she has grown a lot.

"Indeed, as long as one has true Qi and knows how to use it, it seems that anyone can cast a spell." Fang Yi asked in return, "But have you ever thought about why people with the same cultivation level can cast the same spell with very different powers?"

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

Not to mention those little Taoist priests, even Xu Xiaoli and Li Shiyuan were stunned for a moment.

They really haven't thought about this issue.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Fang Yi smiled and said, "Some people may wonder if this is a problem of proficiency, right?"

Li Shiyuan's eldest disciple Wang Siyuan said weakly: "Grandmaster, I think it should be like this."

"Really?" Fang Yi smiled, "To be honest, I have never used the Five Fire Palm Technique once. If I suppress my cultivation to the same level as Mengmeng, do you think my power will be greater or Mengmeng's power will be greater?"

Wang Siyuan groaned, "I'm sure the power you used is even greater."

Fang Yi asked again, "Why?"

Wang Siyuan held it in for a long time before he said, "The master's understanding of the Tao is beyond our reach. Of course, it is also possible that the master's innate talent far exceeds that of everyone in the world. Every spell cast in your hands will exert its strongest power."

right!

The founder had extraordinary talents and noble moral character. How could ordinary people compare with him?

Everyone thinks so.

But Fang Yi said, "Yes, and no."

Wang Siyuan was confused, "Grandmaster, what do you mean by this?"

"The two points you just mentioned are correct, but if you talk about it from your starting point, it's actually not quite right." Fang Yi didn't keep the secret any longer, and just said one sentence that was very inspiring, "The best one is the one that suits you!"

What suits you best?

Xu Xiaoli and Li Shiyuan seemed to be thinking about something and nodded slightly.

However, the others were not as accomplished as them, so naturally they were all confused by what they heard.

Fang Yi said, "Just now, Abbot Zheng Xian said that Tao is the source, Fa is the theory, and Shu is the method. I would like to ask, how can you use the methods developed by others to exert the greatest power? Everyone's body is very similar, but there are many slight differences. The Shu I have realized is suitable for myself, and you don't have my physical body and Yang Shen, so how can you exert the strongest power of my Shu?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone suddenly woke up.

Yes, assuming that the law is electric current, others have developed 360-volt electrical appliances, but your socket is 220 volts, how can you drive other people's appliances?

This is just an electrical appliance analogy.

In fact, the tiny differences in the human body are as dense as stars.

As the saying goes, a miss is as good as a mile. The techniques developed by others may suit his body and soul, so why would they suit you?

"I see."

"Master's guidance has opened my eyes!"

"No wonder the ancestor was able to achieve true immortality. We are still struggling to find the truth. The gap in our comprehension is too great."

The little Taoists were whispering.

Xu Xiaoli coughed and everyone immediately became quiet again.

Fang Yi said: "Therefore, the purpose of my preaching today is to hope that all the practitioners of Huangshan Daojun Palace will not stick to one style. The art is a minor art. Focus on the Tao. When your cultivation reaches a certain level, you will naturally comprehend the art that is relatively suitable for you. Only learning can immediately have powerful power, but it is like putting a pillar in the wall. It's like building a house. If you want to make it strong, you put a pillar between the walls. One day, the building will collapse and it will decay. It is not a way to become an immortal."

"Listen respectfully to the teachings of our ancestor."

"In the past, I only wanted to pursue academic studies, but it turns out that I have fallen into a side path."

"Thank God, Master reminded me today. Otherwise, I don't know how many detours I would have to take before I could understand this truth."

All the disciples paid tribute to thank the master.

When Fang Yi saw that everyone had come to their senses, he began to explain the Dharma and the Tao in detail.

Although he was not sitting on the green lotus, he had become a true immortal at this moment. When he was preaching, flowers fell from the sky and golden lotus emerged from the ground.

The Taoist Lord skillfully expounds the Three Vehicles, and all the teachings are profound and complete.

For a moment, the entire Huangshan Taoist Palace was filled with auspicious lights and colorful lights, and bursts of clear air and mist. From time to time, there were thunders shaking the sky.

The master would talk about the Dharma for a while, then explain the Dharma, and would also demonstrate some tricks from time to time.

Everyone smiled with joy as they listened, and each had a different understanding. They felt that the Grandmaster was unfathomable, had great magical powers, and boundless magic.

Finally, the Patriarch said: "Today's lecture ends here. You should practice diligently. I will temporarily leave the Daojun Palace to explore the mysteries of the Dao. I hope that when I return, you will all be able to attain the Dao and ascend to immortality."

As the sound gradually became fainter, everyone was shocked to find that the master had "passed away" without them knowing when.

Looking at the body of the founder, which seemed to have been emptied of all matter and only a thin skin remained, the Taoists looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what had happened.

Fang Aiguo was shocked, "Xiao Li, what happened to your master?"

Cheng Lin, Fang Yuan and all the other family members were all concerned and at a loss.

Xu Xiaoli smiled and said, "This is the skin of our master when he ascended to heaven. All his cultivation was absorbed into his Yang Spirit, leaving only an empty skin. Don't worry, when our master's Yang Spirit returns, his flesh will naturally be full. We will keep our master's body in good condition, and don't let anyone touch it."

Li Shiyuan also smiled and added: "The ability to ascend to heaven is something that can only be achieved when one's Taoist cultivation reaches a certain level. When my master cultivated his primordial spirit, he had the ability to ascend to heaven, but he couldn't take his physical body with him at that time. Therefore, my master never did that. Looking at this scene now, my master's cultivation must have made a great step forward, which is a blessing."

This group of Taoists are well-versed in Taoist scriptures, and everyone understands that ascending to heaven is the ultimate goal of cultivating immortals.

For ordinary people, ascending to heaven is nothing more than the "spirit" completely leaving the physical body. It is unheard of that someone like the founder could take away all the power of the physical body and the yang spirit.

Because of this, everyone couldn't help but secretly sigh that the Grandmaster's Taoism was so profound that it was unimaginable.

…

The news about Master Fang's ascension to heaven quickly spread.

Huangshan Taoist Temple, because of the great event of the founder's ascension to heaven, specially invites fellow Taoists from all over the world to come and see the founder's miracles.

Countless Taoists and monks were shocked when they heard that Master Fang had ascended to heaven. They all rushed to the place overnight, determined to witness what remained of Master Fang's body after his ascension.

Zhang Tianshi and Taoist Priest Qiu were the first to arrive.

They looked at Master Fang's empty body and could not help but stare in astonishment.

Taoist Master Qiu burst into tears and said, "The Immortal's Dharma is unprecedented in history!"

Zhang Tianshi was even more excited and kept saying: "The ancients were not deceiving me! The ancients were not deceiving me! Ascension to the immortal world is real!"

Later, the leader of Quanzhen, Taoist Master Li, arrived with a group of high-ranking masters and sect leaders.

Everyone was shocked when they saw Master Fang’s appearance.

"My Huangshan Daoist Lord!"

"Master Fang actually ascended to heaven!"

"Miracle! This is the miracle of my Taoism!"

"As expected of the only true immortal in the world, Master Fang's magic has astonished the world!"

"Congratulations to the Immortal for his ascension to heaven!"

"Congratulations to Master for completely breaking free from the constraints of his physical body and becoming a true Pure Yang Immortal!"

The Taoists were all beaming with joy, shouting out their congratulations.

Soon, Zen Master Jiecheng arrived with a large group of Buddhists.

When they saw it, they were so excited that tears filled their eyes.

"The Buddha's merits are complete, and he has restored his original appearance, leaving only his stinking skin. He has passed away to paradise, and the Buddha has reappeared!"

"Congratulations, Bhagavan. Congratulations, Bhagavan."

"The World Honored One is the real Buddha living in the world, and the Dharma benefits all living things."

Then……

Well, Taoist priests such as Zhang Tianshi and Li Daochang had a debate with Zen Master Jiecheng and others, all for the purpose of competing for the "rights of ownership" of Master Fang.

Well, the debate was rather subtle, but in reality these old Taoists and monks almost came to a fight.

There is no other way. Ascending to heaven is the highest goal of Taoist cultivation. How could Zhang Tianshi and Taoist Li allow Buddhism to "defame" Fang Zhenren's rebirth in paradise?

This incident not only caused a huge sensation in the Buddhist and Taoist circles.

Once the news reached the outside world, ordinary people were all shocked.

This is true for all intelligent creatures, including those in the Milky Way and the Large and Small Magellanic galaxy clusters.

For a time, intelligent creatures on thousands of planets in the three galaxy clusters were discussing this matter.

"Hey, did you know that Master Fang ascended to heaven?"

"Ah? Master Fang passed away? How come I didn't know? When did it happen?"

"What death?"

"Didn't you say that Master Fang had ascended to heaven?"

"I'm talking about ascending to heaven!"

"Hiss, you mean that Master Fang has really reached the highest level of Taoist cultivation, the Immortal Ascension?"

"right!"

"Oh my god! Ascension to heaven is actually real? I am really shocked!"

"Congratulations to Master Fang for his ascension to heaven!"

"Congratulations to Master Fang for his ascension to heaven!"

After a brief shock, nearly tens of billions of people on the earth all expressed their congratulations.

Senior officials from various countries sent gifts to Huangshan Taoist Palace to congratulate Master Fang on his ascension to heaven.

Even the Global Alliance Organization designated this day as a global international legal holiday, naming it the "Ascension Day", just to celebrate Master Fang.

This is just the situation on Earth. In fact, other intelligent creatures in the Milky Way and the Large and Small Magellanic Clusters are even more shocking.

At first, those aliens had no idea what it meant to ascend to heaven.

It was not until they asked the people on Earth for advice that they realized how incredible it was to ascend to heaven.

All of a sudden, thousands and thousands of planets shook together.

Everyone was amazed at the incredibly high level of Master Fang's cultivation, and they admired Taoist practice even more. They all wanted to go to the Taoist Palace to become his disciples!
