Star Reaching Sect Cave Heaven.
Taoist Baizhang came to the main hall with a solemn expression.
Above the main hall, Master Dianxing was sitting on the mat holding a star silk fly whisk, with his eyes closed, seemingly unaware of the outside world. It was not until Taoist Baizhang came to the seat, bowed and saw the Master, that he faintly asked: "What's the matter?"
Taoist Baizhang responded: "Your Majesty, the Zhengyuan Sect sent a congratulatory gift today, acknowledging the promotion of Zhenxing Guan to the throne of the five sects."
There was no color on Master Dianxing's face, and he didn't respond. He just remained silent for a few breaths, and then asked, "What is it that I want you to do?"
Taoist Baizhang's face was solemn and he responded in a deep voice: "Yes, this is the secret record that the disciple went to Longxiang Sect to ask for." As he spoke, he took out a jade slip from his sleeve, held it up with both hands and said: "It is recorded in it Understand Long Xiangzong’s understanding of the origin of True Form Concept.”
It was not until this moment that Master Dian Xing opened his eyes and nodded approvingly. He did not go to pick up the jade slip. He seemed to have looked at it all over in just a moment. There was a trace of emotion hidden deep in his eyes, and he He said: "Tai Su Zhengzong?"
In a moment, many clues flashed through Master Dianxing's mind, and he had become somewhat convinced of the records in the jade slips.
"Is that the real Yuanshen?" Thinking of the boundless bright light that destroyed his Dharma body, and the inexplicable appearance from outside Tianheng Cave, frightening away the sloppy Taoist he was peeping at, a hint of haze appeared in the depths of Dianxing's eyes: Feel free and enjoy the stars?
No wonder Old Ghost Yang is still trying to cultivate high-grade golden elixirs when disaster is approaching...
Many thoughts went through Master Dianxing's mind, and he finally closed his eyes and said: "Baizhang, please pass on my decree and send you a congratulatory gift to congratulate Zhenxing Guan on his advancement to the fifth sect."
Taoist Baizhang bowed deeply and responded in a deep voice.
When Master Dianxing destroyed Dharmakaya for Master Mingjing, only a few disciples of Tianheng Sect were present except Xu Zhuang. Naturally, they were not stupid enough to spread rumors about Master Dong Tian, so this matter was not known to outsiders. .
Even so, the Star Reaching Sect finally presented a congratulatory gift, which undoubtedly meant that all four sects had recognized the status of the True Form Concept. It still caused an uproar, especially among the Tianheng Sect members who had retreated to the state, especially the high-level monks who knew the inside story. Even more bitter.
But these tasteless things did not attract Xu Zhuang's attention. After sending away Taoist Zhengquan, Xu Zhuang entered into a short period of concentrated practice.
From his Taisu Taoist skills, Taoist swordsmanship, to the Five Elements Yuan He Jue, the Five Elements Yuanji divine light, etc., Xu Zhuang has not fallen behind. He even separated his Dharma body and went to the Great Sky Waterfall to collect the pure sand of heaven. His homework can be described as Extremely compact.
Therefore, Xu Zhuang did not come forward to receive the greetings from the Star Reaching Sect in person, and only asked Meng Fusheng to do it for him.
After three months, most of the progress of moving and rebuilding the gate of Zhenxing Temple was completed. Under the auspices of Xu Zhuang, a formal ceremony was held to invite the jade statue of the ancestor into the temple.
After that, Zhenxing Guan finally officially took the first step to open its gates in the Tianheng Domain and held a ceremony to recruit disciples.
Suddenly, countless young disciples arrived, either with dreams of practicing Taoism or with various thoughts, looking forward to worshiping the true form through the Dharma ceremony.
But all this has nothing to do with Xu Zhuang for the time being. After the jade statue of the ancestor entered the temple, he finally relieved the burden of the true form concept and returned to the sect.
——
Xuan Huang Tai Su, in the Cloud Palace.
Xu Zhuang was talking to Master Daochen. As Xu Zhuang recounted his experience in Zhenxing Guan, Master Daochen nodded with a smile and said: "Zhenxing Guan is an errand given to you privately by my brother. , but Junior Brother, the sect will not ignore your contribution to the True Form Aspect after cultivating the Nascent Soul."
"After the sect has approved the detailed merits of the junior disciple, there will be no lack of good deeds and rewards. At the same time, the sect will also choose another good person to take charge of the Tianpu Realm, so the junior disciple does not have to worry."
Hearing this, Xu Zhuang slightly arched his hands and said, "Thank you, Brother Master." After thinking for a moment, he added, "There is one more thing that I don't know whether to ask or not."
Master Daochen said: "Junior brother, just do what you say."
Xu Zhuang nodded and asked: "Senior Brother also knows that I have obtained the Heavenly Cave Technique in the Heavenly Waterfall Realm, but I am still considering whether to hand this technique over to Lang Huan."
"Oh?" Master Daochen seemed to think for a moment, and then said: "Junior brother, please give me a look at the method of the cave." Xianxin also made a joke and said: "Of course, as a brother, I will never do it first I entrusted the method of the cave to Lang Huan and took the credit of Junior Brother Greedy Mo."
"Senior brother is joking." Xu Zhuang smiled when he heard this, took out the jade slip of the Dharma of the Cave Heaven given by Taoist Zhengquan from his sleeve, handed it to Master Dao Chen, and asked at the same time: "I heard that senior brother once had the opportunity to observe the Dharma of the Cave Heaven. ?”
Master Daochen took the jade slip, shook his head, and said: "At that time, my brother had not yet achieved Yuanshen. He was a heretic and a side sect. It was useless to watch. If you fight against terrorism and hurt my Taoist heart, it is better not to watch."
"What's more, the Longxiang Sect wants my brother to change his family and inherit the Longxiang Cave Heaven. How can I agree to this?"
During the conversation, Master Daochen had already scanned the method of the cave, shook his head, and said with half praise: "Such a method... is really a wonderful idea."
After pondering for a moment, Dao Chen sighed and said: "The outsiders should not spread it widely, otherwise in the long run, I am afraid it will damage the disciples' ambition to follow the Tao, which is not a good thing."
Xu Zhuang also frowned slightly when he heard the words. Daochen's words are indeed true. Compared with the ethereal and ethereal Dao of Yuanshen, the method of Dongtian can be said to follow step by step. It is really much simpler.
If, because of the Dharma of the Heaven, the disciples of the sect yearn for this path, do not cultivate their mind, do not seek for high-grade golden elixirs, and fail to establish the path of the Yuanshen, it will be harmful to the sect rather than beneficial.
It is true that those who truly have the seed of cultivating the soul can refuse the temptation of the method of the cave, maintain their original intention, and resolutely choose the path of the soul, but the things of the Taoist heart are not created in one day.
There may be people who are born with the seeds of Taoism in the world, but most people can only build a heart for Taoism by gradually clarifying their nature and firming up their path through practice. This is also what Taisu Zhengzong has for all his disciples. training direction.
Regardless of whether the qualifications are high or low, as long as you enter the Taisu Sect, unless you choose, the sect will always treat them as equals and cultivate them with the goal of cultivating high-grade golden elixirs. This is how Taisu Daidai Yuanshen Zhenren, the top-grade golden Dan Wusuan's tradition passed down from generation to generation.
Of course, for some disciples who have reached the level of Nascent Soul by refining middle-grade golden elixirs and have no way to enter, the Dongtian method is undoubtedly a way out. If there are a few more Dongtian disciples, it will also be beneficial to the sect's strength.
Therefore, Master Daochen pondered for a long time and then said: "You can give this method to the Shuxian Taoist, but the sect must still consider the use of the Dongtian method, and do not spread the Dongtian method without authorization for the time being."
Xu Zhuang nodded solemnly and said the same thing. Master Daochen smiled when he saw this and said: "No matter what, the method of the cave is very precious. You have to obtain this method for the sect, but you have to reward it."
Master Daochen had obviously made a plan for a long time. Shi Shiran pointed and dropped two jade talismans into Xu Zhuang's hands, saying: "After handing over the method of the cave to the Taoist Shuxian, you can put these things together." Give it to him.”
Xu Zhuang took the jade talisman and asked, "Could this be the secret seal?"
"Of course." Master Daochen said with a smile: "In addition to the rewards of the Cave Heaven Dharma, originally all Yuanying Zhenzhen will be given a seal after they open up the sect and take charge of the dojo for a hundred years. Although the junior brother is in charge of the True Form Aspect It’s less than a hundred years old, but after all, he has achieved great results, so he should be given a seal.”
Xu Zhuang carefully put away the jade talisman, clasped his hands and said, "Thank you, Master Master."
"Being a brother is nothing more than acting impartially." Master Dao Chen waved his hand and said: "Okay, junior brother, if you have nothing else to do, please leave first. Also, since junior brother has returned to the sect, it is better to take up the post of the third palace as soon as possible. For the best.”
Hearing this, Xu Zhuang responded. After he stood up, he bowed respectfully. When he saw Master Daochen disappearing into the palace, he went out of the palace.
The boy Zhixing was waiting outside. When he saw Xu Zhuang coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and said, "Uncle Xu."
"The jade girl that my uncle brought back has been handed over to the little boy. After the registration is completed today, a boy will take her to my uncle's house."
The jade woman that Zhixing Tongzi mentioned was Xue Yuren. Although Xue Yuren was taciturn, her hands and feet were quite nimble and she lived a long life. During the decades of Zhenxing Guan, it saved Xu Zhuang the time of changing Taoist maids.
The most important thing is that Xu Zhuang knows his roots and can be regarded as trustworthy, so when he returned to the sect, he asked him if he was willing to continue to follow him back to Xuanhuang.
And Xue Yuren, a jade woman, although her practice is slow, she has a perseverance in spiritual practice, so she would be happy to have this opportunity.
Xu Zhuang responded and said, "Thank you, boy."
Zhixing said politely as a boy: "This is a child's duty."
Xu Zhuang returned the salute with one hand, nodded to Zhixing boy and stopped stopping. After leaving Yungong, he went straight to Xiaotaifeng.
Regardless of whether he was in charge of Yun Palace or Langhuan Tower, Xu Zhuang was already familiar with it. Now, in Langhuan Tower, the scene of rarely empty seats in the past has been restored.
The last time Xu Zhuang returned to the sect, the deserted scene in Langhuan Tower was caused by the first sect competition. Now, according to the number of sect competitions held every ten years, the third sect competition has ended. , but I wonder if a brand new genius disciple will emerge?
Xu Zhuang didn't think much and climbed up to the upper floor. There was no one on the third floor. However, not long after Xu Zhuang entered this place, he suddenly heard a voice in his ears: "Huh? Secret seal?"
When Xu Zhuang heard the sound, he saw that Taoist Shuxian's cloud bed appeared in mid-air somewhere. Taoist Shuxian was lying on his side and called out: "Come forward."
Xu Zhuang flew up and arrived in front of Master Shuxian. He clasped his hands and said in salute, "I've met Senior Shuxian."
The Book Fairy Taoist nodded lazily and asked, "Are you here to choose the secret method?"
Xu Zhuang responded: "Yes, but before that, the disciple still has a method to hand over to the senior."
"Oh?" Taoist Shuxian became interested, stood up and asked, "What method?"
Xu Zhuang still presented the jade slips and said: "This is the method of cave heaven."
"Dongtian?" Taoist Shuxian frowned, took a look at the method of Dongtian, and fell into deep thought. After a while, he said: "It's somewhat interesting, but it's obviously still in the primitive stage. According to this method, it is almost impossible. Survive the three disasters.”
The Shuxian Taoist has a keen eye and can see the fatal flaw of the Cave Heaven method. Xu Zhuang is not surprised. Hearing the sound, his heart moved and asked: "This method was obtained from the Heavenly Waterfall Realm and was taught by an ancestor named Earth Immortal." I wonder if seniors have any clues?"
"Earth Immortal?" The Book Immortal Taoist shook his head and said, "Could it be some kind of Pot Immortal, Painting Immortal or the like?"
Xu Zhuang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't think about it. However, after the Shuxian Taoist finished speaking, he shook his head and said, "Maybe he is a loose immortal."
"Loose Immortal?" Taoist Shuxian was indeed very knowledgeable. As soon as he said this, Xu Zhuang suddenly became interested and asked, "What is Loose Immortal?"
The Taoist Master Shuxian said: "Sanxian Sanxian is someone who seeks the merits of the immortal family but cannot get it, so he calls himself an immortal. His merits are almost the same as those of the Pure Yang realm."
Xu Zhuang asked: "In that case, what is the difference between Sanxian and Chunyang Zhenjun?"
The Shuxian Taoist smiled and said: "The authentic Taoist school, the merits of the Hopeless Immortal family are Chunyang, and the heretical side sect, the merits of the Hopeless Immortal family are Sanxian."
Xu Zhuang was slightly shocked and asked: "In other words, no method other than the Dao of Yuanshen can touch the Immortal Karma!"
The Taoist Shuxian said leisurely: "Not bad."
Xu Zhuang pondered for a moment and asked, "Senior, may I ask, besides this, are there any other people who are honored as immortals?"
"Huh?" the Taoist Shuxian asked in confusion: "Where did you hear about other people with the title of immortal?"
Xu Zhuang pondered: "This junior once heard about a place called 'Five Directions and Five Elements, Immortal Taoist Hall' from Master Yuan Hua, so he was very curious. Could it be the Taoist lineage of heavenly immortals?"
This matter has been said for a long time, and it can be traced back to Xu Zhuangyin and Sun Suzhen's opening of the Fayuan Cave. It was revealed in the conversation between Master Yuanhua and Master Xuanhu of the Yinji Sect that the founder of the Fayuan Sect came from the "Fifth Five-Year Plan". Fang Wu Xing, Immortal Master's dojo.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that he gradually became more and more sophisticated in practicing "Five Elements Yuanhe Jue" and unexpectedly discovered that the water element in "Five Elements Yuanhe Jue" seems to have the same origin and different origins as "Wanchuangui Liushang Dharma", Xu Zhuang would still have Didn't think of this.
Although in terms of hierarchy, "Wanchuanguiliu Shangfa" is above "Five Elements Yuanhe Jue", Xu Zhuang already knew that "Five Elements Yuanhe Jue" should be from another more profound Five Elements Taoism, so Xu Zhuang Zhuang gradually felt that Zhou Jun's "accident" coming to Taisu Zhengzong was not such a coincidence.
The Book Immortal Taoist shook his head and said: "It is not the Celestial Immortal Taoism."
This statement did not surprise Xu Zhuang, but he listened carefully.
The Taoist Shuxian said: "Actually, talking too much about such great supernatural powers will not benefit your practice, but since you have asked, I have nothing to say."
"True Lord Chunyang, in theory, has an eternal existence, and his magical power can increase without limit. Even if it cannot go further, as the years of cultivation increase, True Lord Chunyang's magical powers become more and more powerful, and he can play with the stars and manipulate the stars. The world is not a problem."
"Over time, some Chunyang True Lords have naturally survived thousands of disasters. They have existed for countless years, and their magical powers have increased to unimaginable levels."
"Although these ancient beings with boundless magical powers have not become immortals, they still claim to be not inferior to immortals. They also call themselves immortals, but they are by no means comparable to ordinary immortals."
