Overcome the eight difficulties?

Qi Wuhuo was surprised and said, "So, why are you here today, Senior Brother..."

Lu Chunyang was a man of free and easy character, yet naturally proud. He laughed loudly and said, "It doesn't matter who you entered the sect with, what matters is who heard the Dao first. In the past, you were before me, so I called you Senior Brother. Today, I have overcome the eight difficulties, so I am Senior Brother for a day, which is enough to accompany my drink. I came here today, first to say goodbye to you, and second, to tell you to be careful in the future."

Qi Wuhuo listened quietly. Lu Chunyang raised his sword and said:

"You should have known that the Buddha is only one of the three bodies of the past, present and future. The Buddha has three Dharma bodies: the incarnation body, the response body, and the retribution body. You have only killed one of them, but the Buddha will not give up easily. Amitabha Buddha seems to have intercepted and shocked the Dharma lineage of all Buddhas in the name of Emperor Fuxi. However, as long as the world does not prosper, as long as the world does not stabilize, and as long as Buddhism and Taoism do not stop, the dispute between Buddha and Taoism will not stop."

“Do you know what is a kalpa?”

Lu Chunyang said in a solemn tone: "Measure means measure, and it is continuous and endless."

"Quantity kalpa is not even one thing. It is a description of a series of things that happened after a long period of time. So it is called "quantity"."

"This is not something that can be solved in one go. You took advantage of the situation and broke the Buddha's image. This did not solve the calamity, but announced the beginning of the calamity... In my opinion, within a sixty-year period, the human world will be in constant turmoil. After a sixty-year period, the other two bodies of Namo Dibaozhuang Mani Shengguang Buddha will be restored, and the Buddhas will come from the West to enter the pass."

"Wuhuo, do you want me to help you once? I haven't ascended yet, but I can still shock him with one sword."

After sixty years, all the Buddhas came from outside the Great Wall to the west.

The young Taoist closed his eyes slightly and knew the reason why his senior brother came here.

In fact, he had already glimpsed these signs from the changes in cause and effect. He was just suppressing the Buddha. If simple killing could completely wipe out the calamity, unless he killed endlessly, he would only temporarily stop the calamity, but just like he did before -

After the battle in the demon world, the magnitude of the catastrophe has been reduced to a level.

The Human Emperor, the Demon Emperor, and Donghua are the obvious backup, while Gou Chen continues to exist, secretly balancing the South Pole, with its spearhead directed at Hou Tu's catastrophe, which fell downward to become the many Buddhas of the current Buddhism. The upper limit is the catastrophe of the Great Grade, and its scope of impact is limited to the human world and the Western Paradise of Buddhism, although it will still include countless sentient beings.

But compared with the previous one that could have caused a catastrophe in the six realms, it is not on the same level.

Now that the incarnation of Namo Dibaozhuang Mani Shengguang Buddha has been beheaded, the human world is temporarily stable and the Buddhas have not yet perished. This human world, which has infinite fortune but has not yet stabilized, is like an isolated island. Looking in all directions, infinite waves are surging, and no one knows when it will be completely swallowed up and submerged.

Qi Wuhuo is the one who cuts off the calamity.

But it is also the beginning of the catastrophe.

Before Lu Chunyang ascended to heaven, he was still worried and came here.

The young Taoist looked at the fellow disciple in front of him whom he had only met once before, and said, "If you draw your sword, it would be equivalent to using your flawless Taoist heart before your ascension to directly impact the calamity. The calamity will backfire, and your luck will be affected. Wouldn't you be affected?"

Lu Chunyang laughed out loud: "But I will have to cultivate in the human world for another 800 years."

"What's the harm?!"

This kind of heroism and freedom is simply overwhelming.

The old blue cow smacked his lips.

The master does not have many disciples, and those who can continue to practice as his disciples are even rarer.

But every disciple is a great man of his time.

The young Taoist looked at Lu Chunyang and replied, "If that's the case, then why not let me suppress the calamity on earth for another sixty years?"

One sword can break the Buddha's calamity and stop the fighting, but it will take 800 years for the world to rebuild.

This body walks in this mortal world, walks through the red dust, and can still calm the people for another sixty years.

He is the so-called Taoist disciple of Xuanmen and the supreme disciple!

Old Qingniu's scalp felt numb.

When Lu Chunyang saw his junior fellow apprentice, he laughed out loud, pointed at him and said, "Hahaha, good, good, good, good!"

"Then I'll wait for you!"

"After sixty years, I will ride on a green ox and go west out of the human world to resist the Buddhas!"

Lu Chunyang swept his sleeves, turned around and left. After walking out of here, he saw the world rolling on and the vastness of all things. He laughed freely and walked away. The young Taoist asked Qingniu why Lu Chunyang, who had cultivated to the peak of the True Lord, fell into the lower world. Is it really the love calamity that others know about?

The old blue ox also stood beside the young Taoist priest and sighed, "How can I put it? The one raised by Fuxi, ahem, I mean, Xuandu, Xuandu, that guy inherited the master's alchemy method; Wuhuo, you inherited the master's legacy, and this Lu Chunyang, inherited the master's heart of love and forgetfulness, and also walked his own path."

"How could he fall into the mortal world because of pure love?"

"He walked into a calamity."

Old Qingniu stood by and sighed, "His artistic conception was profound, his talent was extraordinary, he was single-minded, and he only wanted to be the strongest. He wanted to prove himself to be the ancestor of Taoism, and he broke through barriers all the way, unstoppable. He was the number one genius of Taoism at that time, invincible, and known as Lü Zu. However, the way of the old man was between action and inaction, which was mysterious."

"As long as he starts to have this obsessive heart, he will fall into the lower realms and miss the great path he desires."

"He also knows this truth, and knows that he should let go of his attachments. But how difficult is this thought? Knowing, doing, and practicing are all different things."

"In the end, he became more and more obsessed. The more obsessed he was, the harder he could not let go. The harder he could not let go, the further he was from the Tao. Eventually, he became the most difficult of the eight tribulations. His realm fell and he exiled himself. It should be you, Wuhuo, who came here on the green ox. Instead, it made him let go. When he let go in his heart, the Tao came naturally."

Qi Wuhuo seemed to be thinking: "Dao calamity?"

He suddenly became curious about what the eight difficulties he would encounter would be.

But I saw the world of mortals rolling back and forth. The Taoist in green robes raised his sword and wine, and walked forward with his sleeves fluttering. Suddenly he took a sip of wine, and the wine pot that seemed to have been emptied before actually flowed out with an endless flow of fine wine, as if it would never run out. Suddenly he laughed loudly: "I have three houses!"

"The pillars use eight mountains."

"It is surrounded by four walls and blocked by the sea."

As soon as one word is spoken, the atmosphere is grand and the picture is extremely broad!

Three rooms, full of energy and spirit.

The eight mountains represent the eight difficulties.

The young Taoist raised his eyes in surprise, looking at Lu Chunyang's back, and then smiled slightly, knowing that this was a poem of enlightenment. He slightly bowed his hands, as if to bid farewell. In the distance, the Taoist raised his neck to drink, and his wide sleeves suddenly brushed the corners of his mouth. He looked around with one hand again, pointed to the sky, and chanted in a long and soft voice:

"All things in the universe are made of dougong, and tiles cover the blue sky!"

"No leaks for many years."

"It's fate."

"Successful cultivation will complete three thousand steps."

"Subdue the fire dragon and the tiger, and you will be able to reach the immortals on earth! Hahahaha! Let's go, let's go!"

The handsome and extraordinary Taoist in a green robe laughed and walked into the world of mortals, step by step, stealthily disappearing, never to be seen again. After watching him go away, the young Taoist also smiled, turned around, and walked lightly and calmly step by step into the storage room where layers of classics were gathered, destined to stay here for half a century.

The sky is high and the clouds are far away, the world of mortals is long, and the two Taoists seem to be walking away from each other with their backs turned, never looking back.

The road of worldly affairs is long, but the road is slow.

Fellow Taoist, slow down!

The years are so far away, as if they are just ordinary days.

Lu Yan, whose courtesy name was Dongbin and pseudonym was Chunyang.

Taoists in later generations followed him as Lu Zu and all inherited his teachings.

The founder of the Taoist Danding School, the founder of the Quanzhen School, the founder of the Chunyang School, the founder of the Shaoyang School, and the founder of the Sword Immortal School.

The Inner Minister of Jade Purity, the Selected Immortal of the Golden Palace, transformed himself into the Master of the Three Religions, and was in charge of the power to judge the orders of the Five Thunders.

The four births and six paths, all have feelings and will be believed; the three realms and ten directions, all requests will be answered. The holy traces are left on the top of the Yellow Crane Tower, cinnabar is refined in the Daluo Palace, the Taoist statues are kept in the rock shrines, the immortal traces are shown in the cloud cave, the incense of the Dharma is spread, and the ladder for the mysterious heirs is served. The great saint is merciful, benevolent and filial, the founder of the sect, the Yuanying Patriarch, the Tianlei Shangxiang, the main sect of Chunyang, [the Emperor of Warning and Enlightenment, the Heavenly Venerable who Promotes the Wonderful Dao].

——————"Lü Zu's Precious Edict"

The Taoists of later generations are all aware of the legend of Lu Zu. He left behind many poems, such as "A sword flies into the air, and the old dragon sleeping in Dongting Lake is awakened"; and "I fly a thousand miles into the air with a sword, and leave me at one watch and return at another", all of which are sharp and fierce.

However, when flipping through these poems, there are also poems with completely different styles, all related to the legend of another Taoist, only at the end.

It seemed that it was at the last moment that the two of them met in this changing and magnificent era.

Before this, no one had ever known Lu Zu during the thousand years when he was rampant throughout the world.

Let me try to say it, and let me say it——

At that time, he drank from a knife and a jade tablet by himself. Who would believe that he could raise a child out of nothing? He could distinguish the clearness and turbidity of water, and the separation between wood and metal.

Without the teacher's guidance, this matter would be difficult to know.

The Dao is profound and mystical, the secrets are far-reaching, and it will be too late to start practicing it quickly.

On the Penglai Road, after walking three thousand miles, I will return alone on the clouds.

——————"Continued Daoist Canon·Lü Zu Zhi·End of Volume 6"

Xuanwei, it’s too late!

…

The lights were dim, and the young Taoist hung an Eight Scenery Palace Lantern on one side of the table, illuminating both sides.

Then he said goodbye to the old man. The previous generation of book keeper told him about the many taboos here. In fact, there were no so-called taboos. He just had to be careful not to destroy these books.

Qi Wuhuo even took out the scrolls compiled on bamboo slips, blew lightly at the Bajing Palace Lantern, and dust flew up, which took a long time to fall down. It was obvious that these files had not been read for a long time. What was recorded on them was not the secret key to cultivation, but just the past thoughts of human beings on the universe.

The keeper of the library is just an ordinary minor official, but nowadays, everything has changed tremendously. The high-ranking official with rich titles yesterday may become a prisoner today; the common people today may rise to a high position in the future. However, how can the earth-shaking changes in the outside world affect this small official of the library?

Qi Wuhuo has been looking through various ancient catalogs of places of origin here these days and just discovered that there are too many files here. There are classics from the eight thousand years since the ancient Human Emperor, and even various classics before Senior Brother Xuanzhen. He did not destroy them, but integrated these files and stored them in this storage room for later use.

Today, the destiny of humanity in the world is complicated and diverse, and the secret volume of the destiny of the Human Emperor that Qi Wuhuo inherited from senior brother Xuanzhen has not been completed yet; Xuanzhen is already a genius, and he has paved his own way. If Qi Wuhuo wants to understand senior brother Xuanzhen's path, he needs to read the classics he has read before he can go further.

Old Qingniu looked at him dumbfounded and said, "This, this... Wuhuo, do you want to read all these files?"

He raised his head stiffly, and wherever his eyes looked, there were files and classics everywhere. There were files and classics accumulated by the human race in the long years going back eight thousand years; there was the wisdom of countless people in the past eight thousand years, as vast as the ocean of smoke. It would take a long time to read through them all, not to mention to understand and grasp them all.

If one day, he really can master all these countless classics.

Then he mastered the ways of destiny and integrated the principles of the three religions to perfect things.

What could it be?!

The old blue ox suddenly had a sense of enlightenment. He raised his head little by little, staring at the Eight Scenery Palace Lantern behind the young Taoist. His heart was surging like a wave, his scalp was numb, and he suddenly understood why the Supreme Taoist would give this lantern to the young Taoist in front of him.

The old blue ox almost squeezed out a sound from between his teeth, a sound that only he could hear:

"He ruled the world for sixty years, and resisted the Buddhas for sixty years."

"Establishing a new sect..."

"The founder of a religion?!"

…

At this time, when the whole world was shaking, the Great Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole in the Central Sky returned from his tour of the six realms and temporarily resided on the North Star again to integrate all the events of the past month. Although the Thunder Department and the Fighting Department each had their own masters, at this time, they would still report these events to [Yu], who would then inform the Jade Emperor.

When all the immortals reported all matters, big or small, to the Great Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole in the Central Sky, the Great Emperor gave instructions and everything was done.

Zuo Fu Xingjun asked: "Do you have anything else important to do?"

There was complete silence. There was no sound from the Fighting Department and the Thunder Department. All the immortals and gods felt that the Northern Emperor's court meeting was about to end when they suddenly heard the sound of armor. The sound of armor colliding gave off a strong smell of killing and blood, which made all the immortals and gods from the Fighting Department and the Thunder Department stiffen. They all looked sideways with their pupils suddenly shrinking!

However, Great Lord Tianyou had a cold expression, the God of Heaven and Great Lord Tianpeng had solemn expressions, and Great Sage Heisha was indifferent.

The hearts of all the gods and immortals in the Thunder Department and the Fighting Department tightened.

What big thing happened?

The Three Saints of the North Pole have all arrived!

Behind him, the people from the North Pole Exorcist Court had already arrived in full armor and armed with sharp weapons. The evil spirit was so strong that it made people's hearts palpitate. The North Pole Purple Star Emperor lowered his eyes and said calmly, "What's the matter?"

Immediately, Zhongtian Beiji Dharma Master, Tianpeng Da Zhenjun saluted, then slightly straightened his back, glanced at the group of immortals and gods, and said in a deep voice: "Reporting to the Great Emperor Ziwei, the warrior of the Beiji Exorcist Institute, [**Demon], has defeated the Buddha and completed the test of the Beiji Saints."

"I ask the Northern Emperor to fulfill his promise."

"Reveal the identity of the [Demon] and announce it to the six realms and beyond, so that its fame can shock all directions!"
