The sky is unpredictable.
The ground is unknown.
This is a unique, true teaching of the core method!
And as the old man said, even Xuan Du had never been taught such a move. Even someone as talented and unruly as Shangqing, even Yuqing who could transform one into ten thousand and master countless magical powers, only knew this move but not the way to use it. They had only seen the old man use it, but with their means, talents and abilities, they were unable to deduce the same move after seeing it.
And today, this supreme method is about to be passed down. There seemed to be a subtle reaction, like a stone dropped into water, causing ripples. When the old man uttered these words, a strong wind suddenly blew above the sky, and clouds appeared layer by layer, piling up extremely thick and heavy, pressing down.
The wind is rising and the clouds are surging, and the surroundings are vast and desolate!
It was a chaos, with no sunlight.
This sky cannot be peeped into; this earth cannot be eavesdropped on!
In the darkness, the young Taoist suddenly had a blessing in his heart. He moved his wrist slightly and took out the Eight Scenery Palace Lantern. He stood by and illuminated a quiet area of one foot in radius. The old man stroked his beard and sat on the bluestone. He did not directly talk about this supreme magical power, but smiled and asked: "Wuhuo knows that my Taoist practice is against the way?"
The young Taoist priest stood aside, holding the Eight Scenery Palace Lantern, and recited the general principles of Taoist practice that the old man had told him at the foot of Fangcun Mountain several years ago, saying: "Tao is born from nothingness, and from this one qi, yin and yang are produced."
"Yin and Yang combine again into the Three Treasures, and the Three Treasures give birth to all things that flourish."
"The Great Dao gives rise to all things. All things are derived from the Dao. One becomes two, then three, and finally three gives rise to all things."
"All things have essence, energy and spirit. The path of reversing the three into one is the path to regain my root from the great way of heaven and earth. The more I walk this path, the closer I am to the way. This is to seek the way, to cultivate the way."
The young Taoist already knew that there were three thousand big and small paths, but only one big path. It was the source from which countless things and paths evolved. It was the very beginning, the so-called root of the Tao. The young Taoist had seen and known a lot along his journey, and had personally cut off the Tao-seeking paths of several emperors, so he had a better understanding of this.
The old man stroked his beard and sighed, saying, "That's right. You have already understood it yourself."
"If you were to wander around the world with me, you would never have such an understanding."
The old man first praised the young man, and then said: "My magical power is also like this, it is just called [Ni Ni]."
"To go against the three and return to one is to cultivate the Tao, and to take me as the Tao, and to follow it is to gain supernatural power."
"Wuhuo, come closer and listen."
The young Taoist priest came forward with the Eight Scenery Palace Lantern. The old man stroked his beard and started to read out mysterious words, which fell into Qi Wuhuo's ears. He said: "The mixed cave is the image of the time when heaven and earth were not yet separated. Before all things, its qi was pure and red, and the wind and marshes were mixed. It was the big cave. It was at the top of nothingness and obtained the ultimate truth among truths, so it is called the supreme truth."
At this point, let’s just talk about the intention.
But this idea alone is enough to shock people of ancient and modern times and suppress all kinds of magical books!
It points directly to the time before all things, when heaven and earth had not yet been separated!
It is to cultivate the Qi of the Hundong Great Cave.
[Initially, one qi gave birth to three qi, which is the upper realm of the Three Pure Ones; three qi gave birth to nine qi, which formed nine heavens; outside the nine heavens, there are thirty-two heavens, which are the heavens of transformation. Then the sun, moon, and stars are spread out, presiding over all things, which is the light of the three scenes, and the image of heaven and earth.]
The old man's voice became increasingly profound and subtle, and the scenes he described became increasingly majestic and terrifying.
It seemed as if the meaning and rhyme of these words were imprinted in Qi Wuhuo's mind, and he could never forget them. However, around the two of them, there was silence, with only a dim light. However, the further they went outside, the louder the sound became. Above the sky, layers of clouds were piled up, and there was faint blood-red thunder, running non-stop for tens of thousands of miles, and the falling rain was like tears of blood.
The heaven and earth seemed to be shaking.
The old man lowered his eyes and sighed, then shook his hand and threw out an object, which turned out to be a gourd emitting golden light, with the tail on top and the mouth on the bottom, covering up the Qi. He then struck the Eight Scenery Palace Lanterns, and then the auspicious clouds above his head rolled up and down eighty-one layers, covering up the weather and making all things unknown. Only ghosts and gods howled and cried sadly. This was the result of the Qi of Tao pulling them together, and they knew that there was a second person who knew the reason.
After the old man told Qi Wuhuo the magic spell of the supernatural power, he did not explain the method of cultivation. He just smiled and said:
"There is no doubt about the operation of this method."
Qi Wuhuo pondered and said, "One Qi transformed into the Three Pure Ones. This one Qi was the Qi of the Chaos Cave, before the heaven and earth were separated."
"Now it also refers to the [One Qi] after the disciple has cultivated to the point where the Three Flowers Gather at the Top of the Head. The so-called transformation into three should be to imitate the Great Dao to evolve all things and transform into three. The three elements of essence, energy and spirit are separated and transformed into one, each with their own merits and practices. Only in this way can the demeanor of the Three Pure Ones be displayed."
Qi Wuhuo made this inference based on what the old man had said about the method of practicing this magical power.
The old man stroked his beard and smiled, "Wuhuo is very clever, but if that is the case, it is just an ordinary method of splitting one's body. Can't Shangqing do it? Can't Yuqing do it? Can't Siyu do it? Why is it that I am the only one who can pass it on? Although Wuhuo is clever, his inference is wrong after all."
The young Taoist pondered and said, "Could it be that in the legend, with one's own strength, one can penetrate the power of the past and the future and combine them into one?"
The old man laughed again and said, "Hahahaha, this plan is just a small one, how can it be worth mentioning?!"
"All the gods who once traveled through time have died under the sword of the North Pole Purple Star Emperor."
"The stars are in formation, the years are fixed, with one sword, all the living things are shattered, even Zhulong has been seriously injured and killed, let alone the other minor gods. In the final analysis, what we cultivate is the only one, not the years. Is this moment the present, the past, or the future?"
The young Taoist said, "It is now."
The old man asked again: "If I ask this question to your future self, what do you think?"
The young Taoist pondered and said, "It's now!"
Then the old man stroked his beard and praised, saying: "Practice is oneness. If I can be divided and borrowed from the past and the future, how can I be called oneness?"
"Time changes but I remain unchanged. This is the state of great excellence. Why do I need to tell you this specifically?"
"Maybe you can guess again."
The young Taoist guessed several times, but all of them were wrong, so he was puzzled and asked again. The old man stroked his beard and smiled, "What you said is true. There is a method of gradually transforming three bodies with one Qi. It can be regarded as a top-level method, but it is only an external incarnation. There are many similar methods in any great realm."
"Although it is of superior quality, it is not enough to be relied upon."
The old man murmured in a low voice:
"The Supreme Way has no form, no shape, no name. It descends from the origin and gradually reveals the three bodies."
"From the arising of the three bodies, the three caves are performed, the three realms and the three worlds, and the difference between ordinary people and saints is revealed."
What this means is that the means of the external incarnation, which is called the supreme means, is only the prerequisite for this kind of magical power. It is only the realm of [gradually revealing the three bodies]. As for the three bodies, three caves must be opened. The realm of the three caves, those who do not know it only feel it passing by vaguely, but Qi Wuhuo already knows it.
The three caves are not those of ordinary people: they are not the cave of truth, not the cave of mystery, and not the cave of gods.
In other words, the three caves of ordinary people are just one cave here, that is, the spiritual mysteries are not mixed, they are born in the sky and stand on the earth, and their functions are not stagnant.
The chaotic hole represents the period when heaven and earth have not yet been separated!
The big hole exists before all things!
From the very beginning, the poem has already contained endless meanings and is frightening.
The old man chanted again, "The three bodies have good appearances, and the realm is in the form. They should affect the heavens and humans, and nourish the image. They all come from good appearances, and plant their spirits. When they are given mysterious essence, they become wonderful."
This is the method of practicing this method. Every word is ancient spiritual text, containing extremely majestic spiritual charm. The young Taoist was moved and subconsciously asked: "May I ask, what are the three bodies?"
He did not mention the Three Pure Ones because the Three Pure Ones were the teacher's realm, not his.
The old man stroked his beard and smiled, saying: "One of them can be called a Dharma body."
"What is the Dharmakaya?"
"Mysterious, profound, and profound, with one true and wonderful wisdom, pure and unobstructed, revealing the thirty-six gates of the Dharma body, and the thirty-six phases of the three caves, combining the upper and lower to reveal the seventy-two phases."
The Three Caves should be performed to demonstrate the undetermined principles of heaven and earth!
The old man said gently: "The second one is called Yingti."
"The body manifests itself, the three realms and three worlds, the upper and lower are perfect and bright, the spirit descends and the spirit is born, and it becomes a spiritual consciousness, with immeasurable merits and virtues, and the blessings of the human and heavenly beings are in response to the karma."
"Above, it manifests the thirty-six heavens of the three realms, below it responds to the thirty-six emperors of the three realms, above and below it responds to each other, a total of seventy-two phases."
boom!!!
Suddenly there was a loud thunder, as if the Tao itself was striking this place!
The pressure between heaven and earth is extremely low!
It was as if there was a narrow gap between heaven and earth, with only the master and his disciple there.
The wind and rain are raging, and the thunder is roaring!
The young Taoist's robe seemed to be swept by the wind and rain, as if it was wet by the endless storm. The black hair was stained on his body. Suddenly, he had the illusion that the world was vast, the avenue was revealed beside him, and he was sitting here, as small as an ant. The old man in front of him was in a trance, and without the appearance of an old man with white hair and beard, he seemed even more magnificent.
The old man acted as if he had not heard it, but his tone remained gentle, but the weight of each word was elevated to the extreme in terms of the concept of the Great Dao, shaking the four directions, causing the heaven and earth to respond, and all things to follow. Every word exploded in the ears of the young Taoist like thunder, bombarding his mind and the Great Dao. If someone had no heart for the Dao, if someone had no perseverance, he would probably be assimilated the moment he listened to such Great Dao.
Even Qi Wuhuo's heart of Tao was still shaken, and he couldn't control himself.
And say:
"The third one is the transformation of the body."
"What is the incarnation?"
"The enlightened gods of men all contain the three caves, the nine qi give birth to them, follow the laws of heaven and earth, and combine to form the consciousness spirit."
"The thirty-six characteristics of the incarnation are manifested internally, and the thirty-six characteristics of the living are manifested externally. The combination of the internal and external characteristics makes the total seventy-two characteristics."
The thunder shook in all directions, but when it resounded here, the sound was transmitted from far away and reached its limit.
Just the first sentence the old man said when he transformed himself just now, he already had many terrifying supernatural powers such as [Enlightenment of Humans and Gods], [Three Caverns True Transmission], [Nine Breaths to Subdue the Qi], [Laws of Heaven and Earth], etc., and these supernatural powers were only mentioned in passing. The old man suddenly stood up, and the clouds gathered in his hand and turned into a whisk, which he swept casually and placed on the whisk.
And in front of the young Taoist.
The young Taoist just stood with a lantern, but the more he heard the great truth, the more his mind was shaken. Unconsciously, the lantern was suspended in the air, and the young Taoist was sitting in front of him. The old man was wearing a clean Taoist robe, with a whisk on his arm. He gently stroked the young Taoist's head with his palm, and said in a gentle and calm voice:
"You can obtain my true Dharma, which penetrates the three caves and the thirty-six parts, and is the source of the formless."
"From the principle, send words, so that the principle can be complete, and the realm of life should be achieved, and blessings will be shared by all directions."
"Return to the roots and establish your quality!"
"Achieve the fruit and advance to the next level, and be promoted to Daluo!"
The sound fell and everything became dead silent.
Qi Wuhuo's heart was filled with emotions, his mind was thinking about his teacher's most powerful method, his heart and mind were moved, and after a long time, he came back to his senses. The old man just looked at him with a smile. Qi Wuhuo realized at this moment that the violent thunder, the howling of ghosts and gods, the blood rain from the sky, the wind and thunder were just illusions, just false.
His Taoist robe was still clean and pure, and the air here was still dry and warm like the sun.
Even the sunlight was still in the position where it had just risen, lazy and casual.
Listen to the wind moving the mountains and rivers, listen to the birds singing, and listen to the gurgling water.
The sun is warm and the breeze is not dry.
Everything is just right, just right.
Only the old man said calmly, "That's right."
"It can be said that one Qi transforms into three pure ones."
"The first realm."
