Chapter 599: Sitting in the Huangting Temple and Facing Hongjun
Bodhi seeds, so powerful!
On the high platform, Taoist Hongjun spoke eloquently, and the three thousand guests below the stage listened attentively - the word "sage" had infinite magic power for the cultivators.
Hongjun first explained how to prove the truth with force.
"Like Pangu, who used his great magical powers to break free from his shackles and transform himself into heaven and earth." Taoist Hongjun shook his head, as if sighing, "This is the most difficult and powerful way. I still can't even begin to compare to Pangu's divine power."
The audience in the audience were initially excited, but then it was like a bucket of cold water was poured over their heads - if they had Pangu's background, how could they be sitting here?
"Teacher, is there any simple method?" Tongtian directly asked the question in everyone's mind.
"Simple?"
"Yes, the simpler the better."
"Yes." Taoist Hongjun glanced at Tongtian and said slowly, "With immeasurable merits, you can connect with heaven and earth, gain the recognition of heaven, and become a saint on the spot."
What is immeasurable merit?
Everyone couldn't help but look at Nuwa. After the goddess created human beings, she immediately attained the status of saint, which was a role model.
Tongtian scratched his head, looking depressed: "How can merit be so easy to obtain?"
Zheng Fa saw a man in a black robe nodding repeatedly not far from him. The man had a sinister face and a gloomy aura. He seemed to feel Zheng Fa's gaze and turned to look at him.
Zheng Fa seemed to see a sea of blood rushing towards him, as if to swallow him up and drown him.
He immediately knew who this person was - the ancestor of the Styx. He had also heard of this person when he was in Kunlun a few years ago.
This person is indeed the most powerful person in the prehistoric world, second only to the six saints in front. He is extremely powerful and seems to be full of confidence. He upholds the spirit of "If Nuwa can do it, I can do it too". He created the Asura tribe a few years ago, intending to emulate Nuwa and become a saint, but ended up being lonely.
This shows the uniqueness of the human race.
When Minghe heard Tongtian mention this, he couldn't help but feel sad and depressed. Zheng Fa's look at him was like adding fuel to the fire.
Fortunately, this was the Zixiao Palace, so he just glared at Zheng Fa, turned back coldly, and continued to be depressed.
The ancestor of the Styx set an example, and naturally the others also understood that merit and virtue depended on luck, which was a bit mysterious and not something that ordinary people could dream of. Therefore, they looked at Hongjun eagerly again.
Taoist Hongjun smiled and said: "Besides this, people like me, who do not have Pangu's great magical powers and did not have so much merit in their early years, can only achieve enlightenment by beheading the three corpses."
Tongtian and the others were shocked and immediately asked, "Teacher, may I ask, what are the Three Corpses?"
"The three corpses are good, evil, and attachment. The so-called highest virtue is not virtue..."
Taoist Hongjun began to explain in detail.
As he listened, Taoist Zaohua's eyes soon became confused, as if he was listening to heavenly scriptures, and he could not keep up with the pace - his strength was still too far from becoming a saint, and he was born into the human race. He had missed the first sermon, and he could not understand the second sermon either. He fell behind step by step, and it was naturally difficult for him at this time.
He had expected this, and looked at Zheng Fa with anticipation and worry.
Whether he can obtain the Hongmeng Purple Qi depends entirely on Zheng Fa.
However, his strength far surpassed Zheng Fa's, and even he found it so difficult to listen, and he didn't know if Zheng Fa could gain anything from it...
Zheng Fa was listening intently at this moment, with the Bodhi seed floating on top of his head and the light of wisdom gently falling on his face.
Zheng Fa's face showed joy and enlightenment at times, and he danced with joy from time to time, obviously gaining a lot.
He really felt great. How should I put it? He finally felt what it was like to be a genius!
Zheng Fa had heard of the name of Bodhi seeds a long time ago, but the effect of this thing still exceeded his expectations.
Countless thoughts are growing in his mind now, and even each thought is like himself.
They were thinking, deducing, and even communicating and colliding with each other. Countless flashes of inspiration, myriad true meanings, combined with the sound of the Tao by Taoist Hongjun, made Zheng Fa intoxicated.
How do I describe this situation?
His brain seemed to have a new engine and was running at full speed.
In the Jade Book of Creation, the "Huangting Sutra" actually began to grow on its own.
After "The Changes of Tiangang and Disha", a new scripture appeared.
Golden characters appeared one after another rapidly, as if they popped out from Zheng Fa's mind. Inspiration was like a landslide, unstoppable.
The classics of the Haori and Tianhe sects, the insights gained from the first two times of listening to the Tao, and Zheng Fa's lifelong experience of Taoism were all integrated into one, turning it into a great Taoist scripture.
Zheng Fa was so absorbed in the scriptures that he gradually forgot to listen to Hongjun's sermons, and was unaware of the passage of time.
He felt that in just a moment, he heard a slight clicking sound in his ears, and his soul seemed to have sunk into a quagmire, no longer having the aura it had before, and he felt a suffocating feeling as if he was suddenly stuck in a traffic jam.
Zheng Fa frowned and came back to his senses. When he opened his eyes, he found that the Bodhi seed seemed to be unable to bear the weight and broke into powder, falling on his knees.
When he turned around, Taoist Zaohua was staring at the pool of powder with an extremely distressed expression.
...Don't blame me, this Bodhi seed was given to me by you yourself.
But he could also understand the Taoist Master Zaohua's reluctance to let go - the Bodhi seeds were too fragrant.
Zheng Fa's soul sank, and he opened the Jade Book of Creation and looked at the "naturally" generated scripture - "The Inner Scene Sutra".
The earlier "Huangting Sutra" only reached the Daoguo level and had no subsequent content.
On the one hand, Zheng Fa’s strength was not enough before, and he did not understand the cultivation of the Dao Fruit level, so it was naturally impossible for him to make up stories.
On the other hand, as far as Zheng Fa knows, there are no written books on the Dao Fruit in the Xuanwei world of immortal cultivation.
Whether it is "The Jade Book of the Red Sky" or "The Book of the Immortal Sword", they both stop at the Dao Fruit.
He even asked about the Jade Palace's Neon Lady and the Jade Dragon Lord, but there were no corresponding books about the Jade Pool and the dragon clan.
This also led to the fact that Zheng Fa had no reference at all, and naturally he could not create a sequel to the "Huangting Jing".
The "Inner Scenery Sutra" in front of him can be said to be the first set of exercises for the level of a wandering immortal that Zheng Fa knows of.
Just to say that in the world of Xuanwei, there is no one like him before!
If it weren't for Hongjun's preaching and if it weren't for Bodhi seeds, he probably wouldn't be able to create such a thing in his entire life.
The essence of the Neijing is very simple: to concentrate one's thoughts and cultivate oneself internally, so as to concentrate one's body and mind.
Although Zheng Fa was able to comprehend the Huangting Sutra with the help of Bodhi seeds, this sutra did not come out of thin air.
He had previously understood the essence of cultivating immortals from Venerable Tianhe - the cultivator and the way of heaven are actually one and the same.
To put it simply, the cultivator is the seed of the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao is the mature form of the cultivator.
After entering the Nine Lights Heaven and becoming a saint, Nuwa told him that the fruit of Tao comes from the inside out.
According to Zheng Fa's understanding of the Xuanwei Immortal Dao, this is the process of seeds germinating and growing.
Simply put, a cultivator starts from the Dao Fruit stage and must transform into the universe or even the Heavenly Dao.
The biggest question is what this universe is like, or what the rules are.
The Neijing Sutra is intended to solve this problem.
The essential idea of the Huangting Neijing created by Zheng Fa is that the human body is a microcosm.
This idea is of course also borrowed from the wisdom of our predecessors.
But the "Huangting Jing" created by Zheng Fa is not just that - what he was thinking about is what is the microcosm and how the human body can become the universe?
In the "Inner View Sutra", he gave his own answer.
To use a somewhat strange metaphor, in his view, the microcosm, or the human body, is the fertilized egg of the universe.
The most important thing in the original Huangting Neijing is actually a body-spirit system:
The upper, middle and lower Dantian symbolize the Three Talents, which condense the creative body and spirit in the acupuncture points and organs throughout the body.
For example, the five internal organs correspond to the gods of the five elements.
The body spirit is both a manifestation of the body's functions, but on the other hand, it also corresponds to the rules of heaven.
The practice process of the Neijing Sutra is to use the practitioner's understanding of the Way of Heaven to perfect the body and spirit.
For example, because of the second sermon, Zheng Fa is now familiar with the dragon clan's water-based magical powers, so his kidney spirit will naturally absorb some of the essence of the dragon clan's skills, until in the end, he may even be more talented in water than the dragon clan.
Zheng Fa has great ambitions for the body and spirit.
He used the Jade Book of Creation to contain all the Taoist teachings in the world, and melted them into one furnace using the Huangting Sutra. That divine body was the means he used to control all things.
He wanted to integrate all kinds of skills and magic, and even the innate sacred structure that Zheng Fa obtained from Nuwa, into his body and soul, so as to perfect himself.
But the meaning of the body spirit is far more than that.
According to the conception of the Inner Scenery Sutra, when the body and spirit are cultivated to the end, they will eventually go from the inside out, from the inner scene to the outer scene, and become a true god of heaven and earth.
At that time, the body spirits condensed by Zheng Fa will become gods holding power between heaven and earth - or in other words, they will become the rules of heaven and earth in that universe.
If the human body is regarded as the fertilized egg of the universe, then the body spirit is a bit like DNA, which condenses from the human body and controls the underlying laws of the universe transformed by the cultivator.
The moment his body and spirit were fully developed was the moment when Zheng Fa entered the Golden Immortal realm.
In the "Huangting Jing", the rank of scattered immortals corresponds to the inner scene, the rank of true immortals should correspond to the external scene, and the rank of golden immortals is when the body and spirit are fully accomplished and the human body becomes the real universe.
From now on, he no longer had any confusion about what path to take after achieving Dao Fruit.
Unfortunately, the Bodhi seed cracked in Bai Lian's hand, and Zheng Fa used it too harshly. Although he had already understood the subsequent ideas, the only one that was truly perfected was the "Inner View Sutra".
But only the "Inner View Sutra" is enough at this time!
At the moment when the "Inner Scenery Sutra" was almost completed, the immortal energy surged in the acupuncture points on Zheng Fa's body, and white light appeared.
In the white light, figures emerged one after another, which were the initial condensation of body and spirit.
Taoist Hongjun paused, his gaze resting on Zheng Fa. He suddenly laughed, interrupting his explanation of the sage's teachings and nodding, "Good!"
The Taixu crown on Zheng Fa's head shone with golden light, and he rose up without wind, swaying as he flew towards the empty cushion in the first row.
As Zheng Fa's buttocks touched the mat, he heard a voice of congratulations from beside him: "Daoyou is finally here."
When he turned around, he saw Tongtian looking at him, as if he had been waiting for him for a long time.
Nuwa, Zhunti and others also turned sideways, bowed and congratulated enthusiastically.
"It seems that Fellow Daoist Zheng has gained some insights." Yuanshi nodded and smiled, his expression still full of curiosity. He also said, "I hope we can discuss the Dao again in the future."
Hongjun didn't say much, but he just opened his mouth again and continued where he had just left off.
The three thousand guests of Zixiao who were listening to the sermon behind the seven people were not in the mood to listen at this time. They all stared at Zheng Fa's back, with different thoughts in their minds, but most of them were filled with envy, jealousy and even hatred.
Only the Taoist of Creation felt very complicated.
Zheng Fa sat on the seventh cushion, which fulfilled his wish and gave him hope of obtaining the Hongmeng Purple Qi.
But on the other hand, he also felt a little frustrated.
Since entering Jiuyaotian, Zheng Fa listened to the teachings and he also listened to the teachings, but the other party was ahead in every aspect.
You know, he has already been a Golden Immortal, or even the Lord of the Nine Lights Heaven, with all the advantages of time, place and people.
Before Zheng Fa entered Jiuyaotian, he was not even a wandering immortal.
After making such a comparison, how could he not feel depressed?
Just like just now, Zheng Fa was able to sit on the seventh cushion not only because of the Taixu Crown - otherwise he would have sat on it as soon as he entered the Zixiao Palace.
Obviously, Zheng Fa gained some insights from listening to the teachings with the help of the Bodhi seeds, which satisfied the requirement of the seventh cushion.
Even what Zheng Fa realized must be extremely profound!
Thinking about how confused he was after hearing what he had just heard, Taoist Zaohua naturally felt even more embarrassed.
Even though the other party relied on the Bodhi seeds, Bai Lian didn't have such a glorious life when she had the Bodhi seeds!
What's more, the Bodhi seeds were broken.
Taoist Zaohua looked at the dark wood-colored powder, twitched his lips, turned back, and looked at Zheng Fa's back with a deep look in his eyes.
Since the Bodhi seeds are gone, Zheng Fa can just use himself to make up for it.
What the other party has learned in this Zixiao Palace will sooner or later become his own.
Thinking of this, Taoist Zaohua grinned and laughed.
Zheng Fa sat on the mat, with thousands of cold gazes behind him and the Taoist priest of Creation looking at him with ill intentions, but he closed his eyes and slept soundly.
He opened his eyes and looked around, feeling very confused - how did he get back to the modern era?
Did you fall asleep while listening to the sermon?
Without the Bodhi seeds, he wouldn't be so stupid, right?
He was floating thousands of feet in the sky at this moment, with a spiritual vein of the Confederation under his feet. In the distance, there were tall buildings in the city.
"This place is nice."
“!”
Zheng Fa felt a numbness all over his body and turned his head suddenly.
Taoist Hongjun stood silently beside him, looking around with interest.
Zheng Fa felt his whole body go cold. This was the first time that someone could pass through the barrier of the Yin-Yang Fish Jade Pendant silently.
But after a moment, he relaxed again, bowed to Taoist Hongjun and said, "Greetings to the Taoist Ancestor."
"Are you not afraid anymore?"
Zheng Fa shook his head slightly, looking daunted: "What's the point of being afraid?"
This is Hongjun Daozu!
Nuwa and the other six saints were too polite and thought too highly of themselves, which was actually very strange.
It’s not that he lacks confidence.
After all, he thought it was normal for Nuwa or any one of them to look favorably upon him.
But each of the Six Saints is like this...
Zheng Fa felt that he did not have such great charm.
There is only one reason - what they value is not Zheng Fa, but the person behind the Jiuyaotian Illusion.
What they respected was the rules of Jiuyaotian, and Zheng Fa was just the lucky one chosen by this rule.
Who else could this person be except Hongjun Daozu?
"Quite clever." Taoist Hongjun glanced at Zheng Fa and nodded slightly. Suddenly, he asked a question that made Zheng Fa break out in a cold sweat:
"Is your magic weapon also called the Jade Book of Creation?"
“…”
As expected of the Taoist master, he used the word "也" very well.
Facing Taoist Hongjun's half-smile, Zheng Fa said sincerely:
"Since I entered Taoism, you have been my role model!"
