The sudden voice rang directly in Qi Wuhuo's heart. The young Taoist wanted to go back to his wooden house, but he paused and turned sideways. The wooden door behind him had already opened. The young Taoist turned around and felt the clear moonlight in the sky, casting silver light all over the ground. It was quiet and comfortable, but it seemed even quieter than before. Everything around him gradually became silent and distant.
The young Taoist saw a Taoist sitting on a chair in the inner room of the house. His eyes were slightly lowered, and his temperament was clear and majestic. He raised his whisk, slowly opened his eyes, and said lightly: "Come if you want, go if you want. What's the matter? We can't talk about it tomorrow. Do you have to come and bother me in the middle of the night?"
Qi Wuhuo stepped forward slightly, bowed, and said, "Disciple is just following the teacher's instructions."
"oh?"
But the master looked up, his expression cold, and said calmly: "Why don't I remember what I said to you today?"
The young Taoist in the hall replied: "The teacher said today, "Starting tomorrow, I will teach you the true Dharma," and also said, "Do you want to learn anything else from me?!"
"[You should fight, come here]."
"Then tap the disciple on the forehead three times."
"The eyes represent the sun and the moon, and the center of the eyebrows represents the Lingtai. Doesn't this mean that the disciples should come to the Lingtai at the time when the sun and the moon intersect and at the third watch to receive the true Dharma?"
Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun looked at the young Taoist and said calmly, "You are not stupid, but this is just your guess. I have never said so, let alone meant so." He paused, then changed the subject and said calmly, "However, I have not yet gone to bed. Since you are here, come in first."
The young Taoist walked into the room, and the wooden door behind him closed naturally. Moonlight poured in from the window. Although no candles were lit, it was still bright and a little quiet. Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun swept his whisk over and said lightly, "Since you are here, you still ask for the Dharma. What do you want to learn?"
What to learn?
Qi Wuhuo thought about it, but he really didn't know how to answer, so he just said: "Whatever the teacher teaches, the disciple will learn..."
Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun said: "What a sly guy."
Then he swept the whisk and said in deep thought: "I have three thousand great ways, all of which can become the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head, the Five Qis Returning to the Origin, the Way of the True Lord; eight hundred side doors, each with its own strengths, swallowing the wind and drinking the moon, it is easy to open up the inner scene and live freely for a thousand years; the twelve true teachings all point directly to the foundation of the great product, you are a human, so in this case, I will pass on [Brahma Qi Mi Luo] to you."
"One Qi is inexhaustible. After cultivation, it permeates the Daluo Heaven and still has some strength left. When fighting against others, one Qi can suppress all methods. It is extremely pure and continuous. No matter how many kinds of Taoism and magical powers they have, they will all vanish into thin air under my one Qi. How do you think?"
"It's okay. There are only you and me here. You can say whatever you want."
The young Taoist bowed and asked, "Teacher, can this method be called Tao?"
Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun swept his whisk and remained silent, saying calmly: "Although Qi is born from Tao and all things are derived from it, Qi is ultimately just the appearance of the birth of all things derived from Tao, just like the sound of wind when you flick your sleeves. If you practice this Qi method, you can create wind, but you don't know how to flick your sleeves. Although you can obtain Tao, you have never traced back to the origin."
The young Taoist remained silent.
Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun said calmly: "I want to teach you, how about it?"
The young Taoist said, "My disciple does not want to learn, and wants to learn other magical powers."
Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun said calmly: "In this case, I can teach you the cycle of cause and effect. If you uphold this method, you can master cause and effect and reverse all things. Others cannot guess you. No matter where they are in the six realms, as long as their mind moves and involves you, you will know. You can predict good and bad luck, know the distance ahead, and even follow the cause and effect to examine all things and all things. It is wonderful beyond words."
The young Taoist asked, "Is it praiseworthy?"
Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun said calmly: "...Although it is the orthodox sect of Xuanmen and the wonderful law of cause and effect, if it is said, it is just like the moon in the water and the flower in the mirror. It only knows its mystery and form, but it is just the brilliance of the sun and the moon. It is just using magic power, which cannot be regarded as the real great way."
"If you can cultivate this magical power, you can also laugh at others. There are very few great emperors and great people in the world who can be your rivals."
"Do you want to learn it?"
The young Taoist bowed again and thanked him, saying, "I don't want to."
"I wish to seek the great way."
Jade Pure Yuanshi Tianzun explained these twelve true teachings one by one. The young Taoist knew that they were ever-changing and had infinite magical uses. He only wanted to seek the Tao. Jade Pure Yuanshi Tianzun was very happy and said with a smile: "You want to seek the Tao, but you can't get this method?"
Qi Wuhuo replied: "The Great Way is the tree, and the supernatural powers are the branches, leaves, flowers and fruits."
“If the Great Way is achieved, all things will become clear if one thing is known. Even if the teacher does not pass it on, the disciple will be able to figure it out in the future. If the Great Way is not achieved, no matter how powerful the magic method is, it will be useless if you practice it. It is just like the saying that oranges grown in the south of the Huai River are oranges, while oranges grown in the north of the Huai River are bitter oranges.”
Yuanshi Tianzun clapped his hands and smiled, saying: "This is the most virtuous person."
"In this way, my Taoism can be passed on."
Jade Pure Yuanshi Tianzun swept his whisk casually, the moonlight was clear, and suddenly a seed sprouted in the void, and then grew and spread, like Jianmu, like a vine, extremely huge, rising into the sky, and in a moment it had stood between heaven and earth, with extremely huge branches and leaves, and the young Taoist was only on one of the leaves. The wind was fierce and fierce, and it echoed between heaven and earth. When the young Taoist looked down, he could see the world of mortals and the magnificent mountains and rivers. When he looked up, he could see the stars. In front of him was the Taoist ancestor, and he was his disciple.
This is preaching.
This Dharma is not to be passed on to others.
Only between heaven and earth.
Inside the wooden house, Di Ting, who had buried himself in his quilt because of his strong spirit, finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun had no intention of sending him away. He let out a long breath, lay on his back, supported his forehead with his hand, and murmured, "Too strong spirit is not a good thing. Otherwise, should I seal my spirit for a while?"
"Um?"
"Why does this sentence sound so familiar?"
"Like it's happened many times before?"
Listen carefully to the whispers.
In this place where the sky is high and the clouds are far away, the moonlight is like jade, and it is noble and pure. Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun swept away the dust and said in a low voice: "It is difficult to abandon the law and seek the Tao. I will now pass on the true teachings to you. If you follow my Tao, you can break the three disasters, overcome all calamities, not fall into the mortal world, not fall into cause and effect, and all laws follow your heart and nature. You can derive all laws, and you can understand all laws if you understand one thing."
"From then on, everything changed in a thousand ways, and I could call the wind and rain with just a thought."
"They are all changes of your Qi."
After he finished speaking, he swept the whisk over and opened his mouth softly. All kinds of supernatural powers and mysterious secrets came into his ears. They were mysterious and wonderful beyond words. These words, methods and ways fell into his heart and sprouted. They were the mysteries of Huangting. The methods of the Taoist ancestors cannot be fully described in one day; all kinds of supernatural powers cannot be cultivated in one step. Qi Wuhuo unknowingly immersed in the teacher's teachings.
It was a journey full of difficulties, and he went through countless tribulations. He also faced all the tribulations with his own body before he finally received Yuqing's orthodox teachings.
Qi Wuhuo felt that every word and every sentence of his teacher carried an indescribable sense of mystery and wonder. If it was when he first started practicing Taoism, he would definitely not understand it. However, now that he had experienced many things and had personally controlled and experienced the power and foundation of the great level, he had a greater understanding of the words and the rhyme of Taoism said by his teacher.
The young Taoist was immersed in preaching and teaching, and was only happy about discussing the Tao, and was unaware that time was passing by.
Unconsciously, his sleeves were stained with dew, the moonlight gradually faded, the stars dispersed, and the morning light appeared in the sky. Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun stopped talking and said, "What I will teach you is not the magical power of Taishang Yiqi transforming into Sanqing, nor is it the tyranny of Shangqing calamity qi as a sword to destroy all things; it is only about the root of the great way, the foundation of all things."
"You must know that only by not striving for greatness can you eventually become great; it has only been two months since you came down the mountain, and it has passed in a flash."
"How much you can practice and how much you can gain depends on your own understanding. All the supernatural powers are realized by you, and I will not teach them."
Teach the basics first.
If one has a foundation, then he will be passed on the exquisite and peerless magical powers based on the basics, which is the true teaching.
However, when it was time to practice the true teachings, the young Taoist was the first one who did not seek the true teachings. Yet he was also the only one who, based on the true teachings, returned to the basics and had the Tao explained personally by Jade Pure Yuanshi Tianzun.
Qi Wuhuo knew that what his teacher was going to teach was the foundation of the true teachings, one of the laws that gave rise to all things. It was indeed the true teachings. Qi Wuhuo stood up and bowed deeply. Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun accepted the greeting, looked at the world under the morning light, and said, "Now, the catastrophe is about to begin. Although you have worked hard to make Hou Tu independent and Gou Chen self-enclosed, and there are checks and balances between the north and the south, the catastrophe will stop for a while, and humanity will flourish."
"However, the catastrophe has only stopped temporarily. There will be more outbreaks in the future. After that, the catastrophes of humanity, Buddhism, Queen Wa, and all things in the heavens will only become more and more intense. You are a human, a son of Tao, you have reshaped your true body for Queen Wa, and you have been reincarnated with Haotian, and you have an inseparable relationship. All the catastrophes and difficulties are related to you, and they are unavoidable."
"This time I am passing on the Dharma, and I only hope that you can support the heavens and the earth."
“Don’t be ashamed of yourself.”
The young Taoist bowed and said, "Disciple will remember this."
He paused and said, "Thank you, Master, for teaching me the Dharma."
Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slightly, very satisfied - each of them had different personality tendencies from the twelve saints. Tianpeng was warlike, Taiyuan had no fighting spirit, and the young Taoist in front of him was closer to Yuqing. However, he was obviously very happy and praised in his heart, but his expression was cold and calm. He said lightly:
"You will definitely fall into disaster in the future. When you fall into disaster, there will be killing and destruction."
"I have been born a long time ago. We have been master and apprentice for a long time. I am only teaching you the basics. It is natural."
"I, your master, do not expect you to become famous and shock the world. I only hope that you will not cause trouble. If you really act recklessly and use the magical powers I taught you to cause trouble outside, just don't tell others about my name."
The young Taoist agreed, but he had no idea what his teacher was really thinking.
The latter lowered his eyes and saw purple air faintly emerging. The sun rises later in winter, and the people in the town have gradually become prosperous. Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun swept his whisk, and a trace of green light appeared on the body of the young Taoist, as clear as jade, and with a sense of mysterious purity. It spread and stretched upwards and turned into a bodhi sapling, reflecting the mysterious method of the seven treasures.
Again, grains of sand floated in the air and gathered together, flowing like dragons and snakes. They seemed so heavy that the wind could not lift them, yet so light that they could split and change endlessly, forming the Nine Heavens Xirang.
Jade Purity Yuanshi Tianzun took out the Eight Treasures Colored Glaze Bottle again, tilted it slightly, causing the Three Lights Divine Water to fly out and circle in the void. Within the Taoist young man's body, the Taiyi Power naturally circulated, presenting the Qi of the gold and fire elements. The five colors and five Qi gathered together and surrounded his body, presenting many colors, mysterious, mysterious!
Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun said: "You will go down the mountain and experience tribulations. This moment is an opportunity. The sound of the Tao is not far away and this body is still here. With the help of this wisp of purple air, you can condense the five qi in your body and give birth to all things in it. This is the inner world. From now on, you will no longer be bound by the external environment and become a terrestrial immortal."
"Earth Immortal..."
Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun said calmly: "Yes, although ordinary immortals have the three flowers gathered at the top of their heads and returned to one qi, they have only reached the limit of their acquired life and are still at one end of the path. With the inner world, it is like replaying the feat of creating the world and evolving all things. The difference is just one big and one small."
"You know, the various realms in this world are endless and continuous, and only these six realms are the ones that are closest to the Tao. However, if one travels outside the material world and steps out of the five elements and eight wildernesses, there are also other mysteries in the realms; just like Taiyi, who attained the Tao in the ten directions of the world; in these three thousand worlds, each realm has a small world, its own small order, and a small heavenly way, just like villages and towns in different regions, each has its own laws and rules."
"Ordinary immortals who enter here can only rely on their own Qi and strength. It is difficult for them to display their great magical powers and they are quite restricted."
“As for the Earthly Immortal Realm, even if one wanders out of the material world and falls into the other ten directions of the world, one will not be affected in the slightest.”
Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun raised his hand, pointed at the young Taoist's Dantian, and said calmly: "It's because [my way is self-made], the way of the inner world has its own system and scope. Once a way is achieved, it will be forever achieved, and the ten directions of the world will not be destroyed. Even if you go to other ten directions, even to the endless and endless world without any mysterious connection, only your inner world and your way will be there."
"Then your magical powers are there."
"There is no beginning, end, destruction or emptiness."
"Raising your hand is a magical power, breathing is the primordial qi, because my way is within."
Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun raised his hand and said calmly: "It's a pity that many so-called earthly immortals just gather the five qi inside and randomly open up an inner world. They don't have their own Tao rhyme and understanding. After all, they just seek power without knowing the law, let alone the Tao? Today's talk will save you hundreds of years of detours, so don't hesitate to encourage it."
"Practice here and open up your inner world."
The young Taoist said: "The inner world..."
Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun looked at his disciple calmly and said, "I will not help you with this step, nor will I give you any advice. All the ways in which earthly immortals create the world are related to their own cognition, which is what they believe in the origin of the world deep in their hearts. Some are flat-bottomed high buildings, and some are round and square. There is no up or down in all of them, only the mysteries are different."
"You have your own way of creating the world."
The young Taoist nodded in confusion, then sat cross-legged in the air with his eyes slightly drooped.
The Three Lights Holy Water, the Wonderful Bodhi Tree, and the Nine Heavens Xitu surround his body.
Qi Wuhuo's breathing gradually became longer. Shangqing and Taishang also appeared beside the young Taoist. Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun looked at his disciples and said, "Is it starting now? Yuqing, Taishang, how do you think Wuhuo's earthly immortal inner world was opened up? Was it earth, water, wind, and fire, or was it created from nothing? Filling everything in a blank space?"
Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun did not answer and his expression was calm.
"If it were an ordinary person, most would choose to open up a blank space first, like a blank sheet of paper, and then fill it with the five qi to construct the earth, the sky, and all things; for the Buddhist sect, it is a flat Buddhist kingdom, clear and transparent, with all living things longing for the Dharma to transcend, which is the Buddhist kingdom in the palm of your hand; the true teachings of the Taoist sect use the means to determine the realms of earth, water, wind, and fire."
"As for Wuhuo, I'm afraid he won't choose any of them."
"Because of his past wisdom..."
“The one that impressed me the most was just that one.”
The Supreme stroked his beard with a gentle expression and pointed to the sky.
Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun looked at the silent stars above and raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was not surprised:
"I see."
