This Danyang Heavenly Palace is where the [registration records] of the Shangqing Lingbao lineage are stored. The [registration records] of ordinary disciples are sent by their masters on jade slips, which are divided into different lineages and seniority and stored in different areas. The ones farthest away are of relatively poor quality. The jade slips circulating in the core are the disciples of Yuanjun and Zhenjun such as [Danhua Fuying Yuanjun].
And on this piece of jade disk is the disciple of Shangqing Lingbao Da Tianzun.
It just appeared spontaneously!
This has not happened for a long time.
But the name just appeared and disappeared in an instant, flashing past, as if it had never happened before.
Danyang Miaohua Tianjun stroked his beard for a long time, and could only say thoughtfully: "Could it be that he is at a stage where he seems to be about to comprehend but has not yet comprehended it."
"So the jade disc reacted."
“But they have not been able to show all of them.”
"So it disappeared?"
"In that case..."
The old Lord stroked his beard and made a judgment: "Unless someone has comprehended the secret of the [Tai Chi Ling Wen] at this level."
"Otherwise, he must be from the Shangqing Sect!"
"And comprehending the [Tai Chi Ling Wen] is all. How is that possible?"
"Qing Ying, Yue Ying."
The two boys bowed together and said, "Disciple is here."
The old Lord swept his whisk, turned around and walked up to the nine-story platform, saying, "Call back your brothers."
"Follow me as I review the Shangqing records."
"Find those who are qualified to be disciples of the Great Celestial Lord, the Shangqing Sect members."
The two boys looked at each other, bowed and said yes.
Then each of them took out a round mirror and cast a spell, and it was done in an instant. The old Lord took a look and said:
"Oh? This is a spell based on the [Circular Light Manifestation Method]? That's interesting."
"Where did you get it from?"
The boy Qingying replied, "It is one of the fragments of the 'Mysterious Chapter of the Wonderful Method of the Taoist Master Wuhuo' that has been circulated in recent days."
"After all, the method of circular light manifestation requires both parties to be present. Sometimes if the other party is in seclusion, this cannot be done, and it will disturb the other party."
"The sound transmission method has a distance limit and requires a strong spiritual consciousness. We can't travel the universe with a single thought like you can."
"So this kind of small magical power is very useful. Now it is widely circulated among disciples who are not strong enough."
The boy Yueying murmured quietly, "It's a pity that this fragment was passed down by the deputy assistant of the Yellow Ox Star Official under the command of the Niuxiu Star Lord. It seems that he also sold it to several other people at a high price, such as the Nine-headed Lion Yuanzun and the Blue Lion Uncle. So if we want to learn, we have to give this star official a [Emperor of Heaven Coin]."
The voice paused, then added: "But you can't blame him for this."
"The star official wants to teach us for free."
"But it seems that those people bought the original volume of this book, and the price was very high."
"If the Yellow Ox Star Official taught it to us for free, it would be difficult to explain to those people. So this is just a token of his appreciation. He accepted one [Emperor's Coin] from us, and he was very embarrassed and apologetic. He had to comfort us before he was willing to accept this [Emperor's Coin]."
"Yeah yeah."
"The Yellow Ox Star Officer is an honest and kind person."
Tong'er Yueying explained it this way, and Qingying nodded repeatedly.
In just a few words, the scene appears before your eyes.
Fresh and lively.
Danyang Miaohua Tianjun couldn't help stroking his beard and laughing: "Hey, what a yellow ox!"
"But it still looks like the same big monster it was back then."
“Eat both ends.”
"I have been cultivating in the heaven for so long, but I still can't get rid of this stubbornness. Hahahaha, it has deceived my boy."
Qingying and Yueying looked at each other, both at a loss.
Danyang Miaohua Tianjun did not point it out, but just smiled and said: "Let you think about it yourself, and remember the lesson in your heart if you suffer a loss."
I asked for the handwritten spell, read it through, and sighed: "He wrote the spell at the age of sixteen. Even if he has been practicing since childhood and has only been in the Dao for seven or eight years, he can create such a spell. His understanding is quite good."
"Master Wuhuo? I've never heard of him before."
The old Lord put down the spell in his hand and couldn't help but sigh:
"In a short period of time today, two names appeared that I have no impression of, and I didn't even see one of them clearly."
"I, the [Shangqing Master] who is in charge of the list, am I also old?"
"The Shangqing Sect member must be found eventually."
"But where is the Taoist Master Wuhuo?"
…
It was a winter afternoon, and some warm sunlight finally flowed in through the cracks in the window and fell on the face of the young Taoist. The faint warmth slowly woke him up. His eyelashes moved slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes. The young man's eyes had a crystal clear texture under the winter sunlight.
Qi Wuhuo was stunned.
"Falling asleep..."
"When? No, I have to get up right away..."
He wanted to stand up, but when he raised his head he felt a sharp pain on his forehead. He paused, then covered his head and sat down obediently.
"You better sit down for a while."
The young Taoist sat on the ground, and after he fell asleep, the white papers in his arms scattered. The room was generally dim, but the sunlight falling on the young Taoist who was surrounded by the white papers of [imperial] had a hint of charm. He stretched out his hand and took the piece of white paper filled with the regrets and wishes of those people.
As soon as you pick it up, you can feel the difference.
The weight of the white paper was much greater than before, and it didn't feel like a piece of light paper at all when touched.
Qi Wuhuo formed a spell, which can be found in both "Records of Becoming Immortals" and "Records of Cultivation". It is used by cultivators to identify whether an object has spiritual charm. In other words, it is to see if all things in the world have their own spiritual charm. However, most of the spiritual charm is scattered and not condensed, and is pale. If it is richer than ordinary things, it can be called a spiritual material.
The practitioner took it back and guided its spiritual energy to form cloud seal.
In this way, you only need to infuse magic power to form cloud seals in an instant and display magical powers.
It is the [magic weapon].
If the cloud seal is not a single one, but a large number of cloud seals are condensed and gathered into a river, it can be called a [magic weapon]. If the waves are like rivers that gather into a complex network like the water veins of the world, it is a [immortal thing]. Then "The Record of Becoming Immortals" mentions the highest thing, which is a [spiritual treasure] as rich as golden flowing light.
The young Taoist made a hand gesture with his fingers and lightly tapped on the white paper. Then a faint golden light emanated from his fingers.
The stream of light spread outwards, eventually covering an entire piece of white paper.
On the white paper, the words flow with charm.
The golden light is magnificent and calm.
The young Taoist was stunned, looking at the white paper that exuded a golden aura.
Although he is extremely immature and his status is extremely low.
But purely in terms of nature——
This is already a [spiritual treasure].
"But, it only has the word [imperial] written on it."
The upper one is called Ling, which controls the Five Mountains and ensures the longevity of the country. The lower one is called Bao, which is mysterious and the supreme one among all things.
The young Taoist recalled the interpretation of this word "Chi" and vaguely understood some of the uses of this word. It seemed that the predecessor who created this word had used this [Tai Chi Ling Wen] to refine many spiritual treasures. One word "Chi" can evolve into three thousand cloud seals, so when one word is written, it is naturally equivalent to engraving three thousand cloud seals in one go.
And these three thousand cloud seals are centered around one point and are unpredictable.
"With just one word, you can refine a spiritual treasure."
"What an amazing weapon refining technique..."
“No, this can already be considered as the level of directly [enlightening all things into tools].”
Qi Wuhuo withdrew the spell, brushed his palm across the white paper, and his soul moved with it, just like a swordsman in the mortal world, who would always try out a sword in his hand to find out how sharp the sword is and its center of gravity. Only then would he be able to use it as he pleases. Practitioners must also understand the characteristics of magic weapons.
Qi Wuhuo's mind was clear and reflected this object, feeling its changes and characteristics.
But when he understood what this treasure was, the young Taoist suddenly lost the slightest bit of surprise and joy he had felt before. As his palm brushed over the words, only an indescribable emotion remained.
This thing is neither gold nor jade.
The material is neither white paper nor ink, but the regrets of many living beings.
Use the world as its material, temperament as its fire, and with a single word of command, it will become a spiritual treasure.
But now it is just a prototype and has not been "tempered". If the wishes recorded in those words can be fulfilled, perhaps this thing can truly become a spiritual treasure. It is made of the mortal world and tempered by cause and effect. In this way, it can gain spirituality, so it is called a [Spiritual Treasure]. The young Taoist tapped his finger lightly and continued to operate the word [Chi]. The white paper suddenly disintegrated, but the words were still floating in the void.
"This thing must witness and fulfill many [regrets], and be tempered into a tool by human [wishes] and [worldly things]."
“Everything has a soul.”
"So it is qualified to be called [Spiritual Treasure]?"
"So that's how it is. Witness all the sufferings and all the aspects, engrave the spirits of all living things into a vessel, and turn it into a treasure."
"Practicing in this way may be called the [Lingbao] Dao."
The young Taoist closed his eyes and thought. His teacher asked him to leave and witness the world on his own. What he was taught was only the heart secret of the Tai Shang lineage. This heart secret can be said to be the practice method of the Tai Shang lineage, but there is only one path and direction, and there are no more specific practice methods and key points.
The teacher wanted him to walk in the world, witness many methods and magical powers, and then walk his own path.
Just like senior sister created the Hunyuan Sword Canon.
And the senior brother embarked on the path of supporting Long Ting.
Even if you deviate from the teacher's path, you are still on your own path.
Can this current path also be integrated into the general principles of the Tai Shang lineage and then used as a witness?
The young Taoist stroked the scroll, savoring his thoughts carefully. Suddenly, he was inspired and took up his pen to write down the words in cloud seal script.
[The heaven and earth are the furnace, and nature is the craftsman]
[Yin and Yang are charcoal, and all things are copper]
【Lingbao Road】
After another pause, the young man picked up the pen and became playful, writing down:
【Thoughts of Taoist Wuhuo on Lingbao Dao】
Shaking his head, Qi Wuhuo sneered, "You are still childish."
Soon he saw that there was no one around, he lowered his eyes and smiled softly:
“But it’s really well written.”
Heaven, Danyang Palace.
Disciples from Danyang Heavenly Palace have already returned and are about to begin searching the [Register] of Shangqing.
Danyang Miaohua Tianjun was stunned when he saw the words faintly visible on the jade disk.
And then disappeared again.
The old Lord was dumbfounded.
"Um?!!"
"What just flashed by?!"
…
Qi Wuhuo swept his sleeves, and the countless words suddenly flowed and changed, and flew into the sleeves of the young Taoist priest, like turning into cloud patterns. Qi Wuhuo felt at this time that he was really unbearable hungry. He just felt that he had consumed a lot of energy. After making a fire, he directly put two sweet potatoes on the edge of the stove to bake, and then ran to wash himself.
This way, after you have washed and cleaned up, you can eat.
Peel off the charred hard shell on the outside, and the sweet potato flesh inside is golden and honey-like, and tastes amazing.
Although this yard is a little small, it also has a well.
Hang a wooden barrel with a rope, throw it down, and then pull it up. The clear well water in winter can instantly make people sober.
The young man poured the well water into the basin and was about to wash himself when he saw his own reflection in the basin. He was startled for a moment, then raised his hand to stroke his hair, and said with a smile:
"Ah, I slept too deeply."
"Even the hairpin is crooked."
