In Fuxi's eyes, the aura of the Taoist surrounded by the crowd gradually changed, from the original strong and violent, to gradually becoming mellow and peaceful, becoming like water. This state of mind, which clearly did not plunder external objects but could change one's own realm, was unfamiliar to Fuxi.
The way of the great Dao is to sweep across all living things to benefit our body. Only in this way can it be achieved.
But how could there be a transformation like the one in front of him?
Without taking a single cent, he gives everything.
He stared deeply at the scene in front of him, but soon noticed something slightly different. He frowned slightly, and his gaze instantly fell on Qi Wuhuo. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes, and he said, "This is..."
Within Qi Wuhuo's body, the human Qi circulated and finally broke through the original barrier.
No longer limited to the state of great success such as the [Heavenly Qi] that came from the rituals of the Great Justice Lord, after preaching and spreading the Dharma to the people, he finally broke through this level and reached the perfect and supreme state.
And then, the Qi of this person, which had clearly reached perfection, slowly became dormant.
The five qi of the five directions have never gathered together, nor have they been connected with each other. They have been flowing continuously and have reached the highest state of five qi returning to the origin. Instead, they have become weaker, as if they are completely in harmony with this Taoist.
But outside, what Fuxi saw and what his soul sensed were contradictory events.
This Taoist has clearly made a breakthrough.
There is no need to question this.
However, judging by conventional cultivation standards, this Taoist's realm has actually been lowered.
The aura that was originally at the peak of the Earthly Immortal Realm slid down, and finally slid down a level before stopping. The man in green watched all this, thoughtful.
"Blunt its sharpness, resolve its conflicts, soften its light, and blend it with the dust."
"That's right."
Everyone was looking forward to the black-robed Taoist priest giving another lecture, one that would go into greater depth.
But after he had been preaching for more than a month, he would just stop at that point each time and would not go on any further. Everyone felt regretful and felt that something was not said. They could not get the next part from this Taoist, so they had to look within themselves, and when that did not work, they began to discuss with others.
In the beginning, this was just a place to share my insights.
People just came together spontaneously.
Gradually, more and more people gathered here, and people began to be dissatisfied with just talking to each other. The collision of thoughts gradually burst out like sparks, and each other's thoughts collided with each other, gradually improved, and developed their own tendencies.
In the early years of the human race, people revolved around Queen Nuwa.
There is a natural tendency to gather together.
People with similar ideas gathered together and built a new school. Day by day, they collided with each other and inspired each other. If you win today, I will start to study your school, and if I win tomorrow, the same will happen.
Unconsciously, and without knowing when, a lot of people have gathered here.
Every day, countless people gather and chat at the nine stone tablets under Jimen.
Even on normal days, there are always more than a thousand people there.
The faces of these more than a thousand people change every day, because not everyone has time. However, from beginning to end, there has never been a shortage of time. Whenever there is free time, people will come here to talk. During holidays, there are too many people, which has alarmed the military formations from all over the capital more than once.
Some officials were concerned about whether the incident would affect people's daily lives and reported the matter to the emperor.
Human Emperor Li Weifeng never refuted this.
I had originally wanted to issue a memorial to the emperor, informing all places that this was not necessary.
However, the eldest princess Li Qiongyu came. The eldest princess has been in the country for more than ten years. She took the initiative to practice the Taoist scriptures on the stone tablet. At the beginning, she aroused the enthusiasm of the people. She is dignified and elegant, with a very beautiful appearance. She has made great progress in practicing Taoism. Over the past ten years, her face has not changed, and she is unparalleled in dignity and elegance, which makes countless people in the country envy her.
Once a pillar of the country, a rare genius in a century, wrote a poem to express his admiration, but the princess simply folded the letter into a paper lantern, threw it into the river, and let it come and go. Over the past ten years, this most beautiful woman in the world has never married, nor has there been any rumor that she has an ambiguous relationship with anyone.
People say that the eldest princess loves this world.
I don't want to recall other people's feelings.
Some people also said that they had seen women dressed as men with beautiful and cheerful looks walking into the world of mortals. They also said that they had seen the eldest princess and a man wearing a black robe and a jade crown sitting opposite each other under an old tree, drinking tea and chatting cheerfully, with a smile on her usually graceful and peaceful face.
Some people also said that on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, they saw the eldest princess sailing on the river in the capital.
That day the river flowed quietly, as if merging into the Milky Way, and above the river there were countless lanterns like fire and stars.
The Taoist sat in a secluded place, watching the lights of this mundane world like stars reaching up to the Milky Way.
The eldest princess just looked at the lights quietly, and from the brightly lit bridge upstream, she looked at the gentle Taoist in black robe.
As for these rumors that the common people are talking about with relish, the princess has never responded, nor has she denied them. She has come here today to report to the emperor, saying that verbal orders are ultimately limited and beyond their power, and the best thing would be for the people to follow suit.
Then all the officials and common people saw the Human Emperor Li Weifeng, who came to Jimen in the midst of his busy official duties, and came here in person to observe the stone tablet and discuss the Dao with others. From then on, people in the world became more and more accepting of discussing the Dao under the stone tablet, and the previous resistance disappeared in an instant.
…
"Before, there must have been new dignitaries, as well as the disciples and elders of the Taoist sects, who did not want to see the people gather together to discuss Taoism, so they wanted to suppress those who were discussing Taoism here with various excuses. Now that Wei Feng has come, the matter has been resolved immediately."
The black-robed Taoist said gently, "You were the one who persuaded me, right?"
In front of him, Li Qiongyu, who was over 30 years old but still looked like she was in her early 20s, admitted it calmly and said with a smile: "With your personality, you probably won't care about these things, and Wei Feng's personality will naturally choose other laws to suppress and divide those forces. It's better for him to do it himself."
The two chatted about the past and drank tea opposite each other.
Princess Li Qiongyu looked at the Taoist in front of her, who was already over thirty years old. With his level of cultivation, he should have been able to maintain his youthful appearance and would never age. But at this moment, for some reason, he looked just like a man in his thirty who was a little better maintained. Only his brows were calm, as if different from the others.
Qi Wuhuo noticed Li Qiongyu's gaze, raised his eyes slightly, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"nothing."
Li Qiongyu smiled and said, "I just think it's very strange."
She paused for a moment, then said in a gentle tone, "We once met in a dream for sixty years. In the dream, you should have been famous in Beijing at your age. I often heard news about you in the mountains, but I never went to see you."
"So, I never saw you at this age in this dream."
"Now that I can see it with my own eyes, you and I are getting old together, and there are some interesting things that I have never experienced before."
"Oh……"
The man in the black robe and jade crown smiled and lowered his eyes. The woman opposite the stone table was calm and free, and did not say anything else. With just a cup of tea, Li Qiongyu said goodbye in a carefree manner. She was always like this, coming and leaving calmly, never speaking, never saying goodbye. The Taoist held a cup of tea with a peaceful expression, and suddenly said: "Since you are here, what are you waiting for?"
There was a noise, and then a slightly awkward laugh.
Li Weifeng walked out and looked at the Taoist priest in front of him. He subconsciously turned his head to look at his sister who was walking away. He turned around and had a lot of words to say. He wanted to say that his sister was not married yet, but when the words came to his lips, he just didn't say them. He just said, "I haven't come to see the teacher for a long time."
"So, I came here today to talk to you."
Li Weifeng is now over 30 years old.
After ascending the throne as the Emperor of Man, he once said that his dream was to become a knight-errant. He buried the young man he met on the roadside with the girl he liked in the past. The next year, he married a daughter of an ordinary family as his queen to show his position.
The two men treated each other with respect. The Human Emperor did not think that his wife was of ordinary origin, and his wife, the Queen of the Shenwu Kingdom, also felt that she was not worthy of this wise emperor. Now their child has grown up and is eleven years old. Qi Wuhuo had seen him and presented him with a longevity lock that he had carved himself.
Li Weifeng has also lost his former recklessness and youthfulness, and now looks calm and steady.
Sitting in the same position as before, he took out the wine pot from that year from his arms, poured a glass of water, and looked at the place where his sister had just sat. After all, she did not mention their affairs. In his eyes, his sister was more decisive than him. He should not interfere in other people's decisions and lives. After chatting for a long time, he paused and said slowly in a deep and gentle tone:
"Seventh Brother has already fought to the far border."
"They are the last two countries among all the countries in the world. Although they are the last two, all the remnants who oppose unification and demand the division of the royal title as before are in these two countries. Therefore, they face the strongest resistance."
"Seventh Brother's letter said that he was unwilling to open the country's door with wanton killings. Since we have to do it slowly, it will inevitably take time, and I'm afraid it will be a long time."
"But when the world is unified, we can forge the Nine Cauldrons. Each of the Nine Cauldrons can stabilize the destiny of humanity, suppress the Yin and Yang energies, and make the entire world more stable and peaceful. If all the Nine Cauldrons are forged and completely fall into the hands of the human world, perhaps things will be different."
"I really can't imagine what that scene would be like."
Li Weifeng couldn't help but hum.
Qi Wuhuo did not answer.
Because he himself didn't know what the scene would be like.
The Nine Cauldrons seem to be a ritual. A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step. Before the last step is taken, everything before is just illusory, like a castle in the air. This represents the unification of the world and the final unity of mankind. It is the last cauldron with extremely symbolic significance.
It's like the finishing touch.
It is the final step towards the unification of the world.
Once the last tripod falls into the human world, the heaven and earth will surely shake and ghosts and gods will howl. It will be unprecedented in scale and the feedback will be strong, far exceeding all previous actions of the human destiny rituals, and even stronger than the feedback brought about by the fall of the eight nine tripods before!
"The world is unified, and the nine tripods are united?"
Qi Wuhuo lowered his eyes and whispered.
Li Weifeng also seemed to feel an unprecedented weight in these eight words.
He paused and said, "Master, now many people have gathered under the nine stone tablets, exchanging their insights on the great Dao with each other. If this situation continues, will some new schools of thought be born?"
The Taoist looked at him and asked, "What school of thought are you talking about?"
Li Weifeng's answer was firm and decisive: "Like Taoism and Buddhism, they have a long history and can be transformed into hundreds of branches and thousands of families, passed down through the eternal sky, so that our descendants and heirs can all say that they are great schools!"
"Although the Master has opened the door to cultivation, the descendants of the aristocratic families and the hidden sects who have inherited and established a family tradition are naturally better at explaining the Dao and Qi channels. They also send disciples to the human world to listen to the Master's teachings and then absorb them. In this way, they will still be one step ahead of the common people."
“If there are thousands of Dharma lineages and tens of thousands of ways of transmission that all appear in the world at the same time, then such sects can no longer be high and mighty and live in seclusion. They must join this era and cannot monopolize the inheritance and knowledge of cultivation.”
Qi Wuhuo looked at the Human Emperor in front of him and said, "That day will come."
But not now.
Everything comes gradually; it is impossible to achieve success overnight.
Now, under the Ji Gate, the people in front of the nine stone tablets are still just exchanging their experiences with each other. Although there are groups with similar understandings and styles, they have not yet developed truly different styles from each other, and they still cannot be considered a great Dharma lineage.
But there will be such a day in the future.
Li Weifeng said: "I hope I can see that day."
When he said goodbye and left, he paused, turned around and looked at the Taoist, and said softly: "Master, you said, in my life, if the cultural heritage can see the flourishing of hundreds of schools, so that all cultivation is not monopolized by the big families and sects, in terms of politics, I can make sure that the people have enough food and clothing, and that they can learn literature and children, and in terms of martial arts, the world can be unified."
"Can my life's achievements wash away my sins?"
The Taoist looked at him and asked, "What sins have the human phoenix committed?"
Li Weifeng paused and spoke out his true thoughts.
"I can, go to the front."
"Alongside Brother Seven?"
No one can answer this question.
Li Weifeng left calmly, but Qi Wuhuo did not move. He raised his head and looked into the distance, and saw that the energy between heaven and earth was flowing. Along with his footsteps, an old friend who had not been here for more than ten years appeared in front of the door of the storage room.
In front of the storage room, wind chimes were ringing, and inside the nine stone tablets under the Ji Gate.
One of them caused ripples.
The young seedling in the Yuqing realm swayed slightly.
