"Observe the way of heaven, follow the way of heaven, and that's all. There are five thieves in heaven, and those who see them will prosper. The five thieves are in the heart, and they are carried out in heaven..."
The voice was tender and crisp, clearly belonging to a child of about ten years old, carrying a bamboo basket with some fresh vegetables and fruits in it, and walking briskly towards home. At this age, with a childish appearance, he was reciting advanced Taoist principles. If a person who has been practicing for a long time came down the mountain, he would be surprised to see that this was a child from a family of practitioners.
But there were far more than just this child who were chanting the scriptures.
This is true of the roadside vendors selling fruits and vegetables, the men and women chatting on the street, and even the beggars whose families have lost their homes can recite the two lines of "Eat in season, and all the bones will be buried. Move the mechanism, and all things will be at peace." They are truly showing the supreme Taoist style.
It's a pity that although this wonderful method has been widely spread among the people and obtained by all living beings, everyone has different talents and understandings. It is not something that can be achieved in a day or two to comprehend the true Taoist method.
Many people are trapped here and are quite troubled.
"Hey, after I finished my work yesterday, when I was breathing, I clearly felt that I was just one step away from it, but this step was really harder to hold than the last bite of noodles. Why is it always one step away from it? Really, is my talent so bad?"
A scholar who came to the capital to take the imperial examination sighed.
"Perhaps the Taoist way is too free and easy after all, and it doesn't fit with those of us who pursue fame and fortune."
"But I don't know if there will ever be a day when we scholars like us can breathe in and out the Qi."
His companion comforted him, "Haha, don't think too much, don't think too much, this is how the Taoist method works. The more you care, the harder it is to find it. Just relax, just relax."
"That's all we have to do."
Such exchanges are constantly happening throughout the capital and even throughout the nine provinces of the world.
The two scholars who were talking to each other sat on one side of the restaurant near the window. The window faced the avenue. The road was busy with cars and people coming and going. A Taoist priest walked slowly past the side of the restaurant. Qi Wuhuo listened to the conversations of the people around him and did not feel surprised.
Although he spread the methods of cultivating the mind and practicing to the public.
But those who can get started are probably still only a minority.
On the one hand, this is certainly related to personal talent and understanding, but on the other hand, it is probably related to the innate foundation of the human race. After all, those who are created by flesh and blood cannot compare with those who are manifested by the Qi of heaven and earth. This is especially true for the innate bloodline of the human race, which gradually disappears during the reproduction process.
However, the human race is large enough, and human understanding and spirituality exceed those of the vast majority of living beings.
People who know how to think and summarize their own experiences and lessons, and then pass down these valuable things in the form of words and teach them to the younger generations, will eventually gain something and change something from generation to generation.
Qi Wuhuo bought some late summer fruits and picked some flowers that were in full bloom at this time of year, and tied them into a bunch. On his way back, he easily avoided Xiaolongnu's clutches that were reaching for his purse again, and then went back to the storage room, tied up the fruits with ropes, pulled them a little to make sure they were tied tightly, then stood next to the well and threw them with both hands.
The fruits were thrown in a small arc.
Then it fell into the well. The ropes piled up beside it became shorter quickly. With the sound of a heavy object falling into the water, the fruits and vegetables fell into the water with a splash amid the chirping of cicadas and insects in the hot summer. The young Taoist stood up, rolled up the sleeves of his Taoist robe, revealing his arms.
He turned around and looked at the old blue ox, who was no longer afraid of cold or heat but still couldn't muster any energy under the scorching sun. He smiled and said, "Even at this time, the well is still very cool. Soak the fruits in it for a while, and when the sun goes down a little, you can eat the chilled fruits."
The old blue ox glanced at him, looking listless.
Randeng was still reading the scriptures.
Qi Wuhuo placed the large bunch of flowers in the yard, adding a rare sense of naturalness and clarity to the storage room in the city. Old Qingniu took a curious look and asked him, "Is anyone coming today? Why did you suddenly pick so many flowers?"
Qi Wuhuo smiled and replied: "If I'm not mistaken, there should be a very important guest coming."
Old Green Ox was very curious.
But at this time, no matter how he asked, the Taoist did not answer. He just smiled and said that he would know later. If he told it now and failed to do it later, it would disappoint people. Qi Wuhuo returned to the quiet room where he lived, first took a bath and burned incense, and then concentrated for an hour before slowly opening his eyes.
He clenched his hand from inside his sleeves, and then a force different from vital energy gathered, and a faint and clear golden light flowed. As Qi Wuhuo's palm was pulled out, the golden light condensed and collapsed, turning into the shape of a scroll. With a shake of his wrist, the scroll slowly unfolded in front of him, turning into a magnificent picture of mountains and rivers.
"Map of Mountains, Rivers and States".
It originally belonged to Queen Wa, but after being obtained by Qi Wuhuo, it advanced with the help of the leap in humanity's fortune.
At this moment, the light on the scroll is changing, and it is obvious that the current human fortune is better than before. Correspondingly, the "Map of Mountains, Rivers and States" related to the human fortune has also changed, and it is subtle that many mysterious sceneries are naturally constructed on this scroll.
"It is true."
Qi Wuhuo whispered, his palm gently brushing across the painting, the crude yet daring idea in his mind became clearer and clearer -
Since before, he could use the pen dipped in the destiny of humanity as ink, and point out a plum forest of more than ten miles at the border of the human world with one stroke.
Since Queen Nuwa is now in the realm of Taiyi's absolute law, she can connect with all the human destiny in the outside world.
It can even rely on the existence of humanity and destiny to stabilize its own existence.
Is it possible, with the help of this peak human fortune, to imitate the action of pointing out Merlin earlier, to practice the exquisite mystery of the Taoist supreme incarnation method, to create an incarnation at the point where the fortune is the strongest in this world, and then, let a wisp of the spirit of the Queen Mother Nuwa rely on it, to come to this world and take a look at this world.
Once this thought appears, I can no longer stop it.
Qi Wuhuo made several inferences and reviewed the situation over and over again, and still felt that it was extremely feasible.
He even wrote letters to his teachers. Among them, Yuxu Yuanshi Tianzun responded the fastest. The text was detailed and plain, without any preaching. It simply improved Qi Wuhuo's ideas and directly gave him all the magical powers and secrets needed for this plan, including the Taoist incarnation techniques.
In addition to the formal content mentioned above, the letterhead also came with it.
There are only two lines and seven words.
“Just do it.”
"The master is here."
They are just seven simple words, without any magical power or magic tricks.
But there seems to be an indescribable power that is enough to calm anyone's heart instantly.
Qi Wuhuo held the scroll, and the luck of humanity rose up. In his eyes, the human energy gathered and turned into flames.
After thinking about it, he used the destiny of humanity and Taiyi body to convey a ray of divine charm to where Queen Wa was.
"My lady, I have something to ask..."
Soon after, Qi Wuhuo received feedback from Queen Wa.
It was a message of curiosity, doubt, and then agreement.
Qi Wuhuo slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and constructed the various changes of this magical power in his mind. For the first time, he tried to circulate human Qi to connect with Queen Wa. Then, he opened his right hand, and strands of light gathered together and transformed into a [Pen] made purely of human Qi.
Even with the current cultivation and strength, it is still far from enough to rescue Queen Nuwa.
There was no way to free her from the eternal loneliness.
But at least, at least——
Qi Wuhuo hoped that she could come and take a look outside.
…
"Emperor, this is what happened."
"Qi Wuhuo did not choose to accommodate the destiny of humanity in this body and use this opportunity to help, but instead opened up the embryonic form of a lineage, and his ambitions were very great."
Jiu Tian Ying Yuan Lei Sheng Pu Hua Tian Zun informed the Southern Pole Chang Sheng Great Emperor of the whole matter.
The Southern Emperor of Longevity looked solemn. The finger holding the chess piece paused in the air, as if he was thinking about this question. Then he placed the chess piece on the chessboard. The expression on his face gradually changed from the previous carelessness and indifference. The smile disappeared. He thought faintly and said, "It's interesting. What he has in mind is not himself, but the world and the human race."
"…It was Queen Nuwa's influence on him."
"Only people like this are more likely to gain the recognition of the Queen..."
"However, you now are worthy of my respect."
"At least they are not like the Buddhists. They are just fools who don't know the general trend or the future and only know how to pursue immediate benefits."
Jiu Tian Ying Yuan Lei Sheng Pu Hua Tian Zun said: "Emperor, should we respond to what Tai Shang Xuan Wei did?"
The Southern Emperor of Immortality said calmly, "Respond? No need."
"Qi Wuhuo's vision is high enough, at least higher than that of the current Buddhist sect, but it is still limited to the [human race]. The [human race]'s understanding and foundation are not enough, and their innate bloodline has also weakened. Even if he is determined to spread the teachings to the geniuses, how many people can obtain it and understand it with such a beautiful jade in front of them?"
“A superior man, upon hearing the truth, diligently puts it into practice; an average man, upon hearing the truth, is uncertain whether to practice it or not; an inferior man, upon hearing the truth, laughs loudly at it.”
"How many people in the human race can be called [Senior Sergeants], and how many are just stupid [Corporals]?"
Jiu Tian Ying Yuan Lei Sheng Pu Hua Tian Zun said: "I don't know people, so I dare not speak nonsense."
The Southern Emperor of Immortality said calmly: "Ninety-nine percent of the people in the world are inferior."
“Such a person has low comprehension and poor talent. If he has three deficiencies and five disadvantages, he will turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to precious jade and gold placed in front of him. To teach the Dharma to such a person is like playing the lute to a cow.” He stretched out his hand and clenched it casually. Countless streams of light gathered and turned into a volume.
The whole thing is white jade in color, clear and flawless, with faint golden words flowing and changing in it, emitting endless brilliance, which makes people unconsciously feel awe in their hearts. Jiu Tian Ying Yuan Lei Sheng Pu Hua Tian Zun lowered his eyes slightly with a serious expression, knowing that this thing is the treasure of the South Pole Changsheng Emperor, named [Si Ming Tian Shu].
Its status is enough to be compared with the original body of Gou Chen and the Hongtian Mace of Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi.
The book that records the innate lifespan and everything of all living beings and ethnicities is called [Si Ming]. At this moment, this volume of Sima Ming was opened to reveal its contents. The golden and ancient characters on it kept changing, from the innate sacred race to the dragon, phoenix and unicorn, and only in the middle and late stages did the human race emerge.
[Human race]——The innate bloodline disappears, and the creatures are acquired.
Insight—C1, Part 1.
Bones and muscles - Dingxia.
Strength - Ding Xia.
Endurance - Ding Shang.
This is a record of the Heavenly Book of Destiny. It is not aimed at individuals, but an evaluation of a certain clan. The level of its evaluation comes from the direct feedback from the great Dao of Heaven and Earth, without any doubt. For the clans that are close to the innate, there is a characteristic that is judged to have reached A. This kind of clan is naturally endowed with a certain ability to control vital energy and can easily become immortal.
When a characteristic is judged to have reached level B, it is only natural for this lineage to embark on cultivation.
For the human race, the evaluation of the strongest comprehension is only C.
It is considered quite strong among acquired creatures.
It is possible to comprehend the mystery of Qi and embark on the path of spiritual practice through one's own efforts; however, this level of understanding also means that only a few people in this tribe can do this, and their strength and bones are not even as good as those of wild beasts. Only their endurance is strong enough to outlast some predators.
The Southern Emperor said calmly: "Even if you want to cover the sky with a leaf, you can't do it."
"The reason for its failure lies not in its heart, but in its leaves."
"The reason why the Dao Fa is preached to the people of the world but cannot achieve the work of the heart is not because of the preacher, but because of how many people in the world can comprehend the mystery and charm of the Dao Fa?"
"He chose the wrong direction. No matter how hard he tries, it's just a waste of time."
"Don't worry about him."
The Great Emperor of Longevity in the South Pole did not take it seriously and made a judgment on the Taoist.
But others don’t know what you are thinking in your heart.
The Great Emperor of Longevity of the South Pole lowered his head to glance at the Taoist, his eyes were deep, Jiu Tian Ying Yuan Lei Sheng Pu Hua Tian Zun could not see the Emperor's gaze, and did not know what kind of charm was in those eyes. But at this moment, the Great Emperor of Longevity of the South Pole suddenly caught a glimpse of the layers of cause and effect ripples, and a stream of light suddenly appeared, and then flew towards the direction of the Taoist.
The Great Emperor of Longevity in the South Pole frowned slightly, stretched out his hand and cut off the stream of light, and a letter appeared in his hand.
"Is this the instruction from the Supreme to his disciples?"
"Did you also know that his choice was wrong, or did you know the danger he would face, so you wrote a letter to warn him?"
"After all, I am still a junior who needs the protection of my teacher."
The Great Emperor of Longevity in the South Pole was certain that the letter came from Tai Shang, and that the direction it pointed to was indeed Qi Wuhuo.
As the Great Emperor, it is not difficult to intercept a letter. Moreover, the vortex of human luck is now in the world, and the Three Pure Ones will not display their magical powers arbitrarily. Naturally, they are a little weaker than in the past. The Emperor Changsheng of the South Pole casually unfolded the letter and glanced at it.
Then I saw the title at the beginning.
The body paused slightly.
The original nonchalant look gradually disappeared.
Jiu Tian Ying Yuan Lei Sheng Pu Hua Tian Zun was puzzled, but curious, so he finally raised his head to take a look.
The Lord of Thunder caught a glimpse of the first two words of the letter and his expression also froze.
Endless waves were rising in my heart.
That comes from the teacher's name for his disciples.
But it is also the greatest praise and the most powerful rebuttal to the evaluation of the Southern Emperor of Immortality just now.
It is the name given by Tai Shang to the Taoist Xuanwei.
Thunderous Puhua Tianzun murmured:
"Fellow Daoist...?!!!"
