Chapter 64 The Way of the Heavenly Master
In more than one day, Xie Yu arrived outside Baling City. Of course, on the way there, Xie Yu bought himself two new Taoist robes.
The main thing is that Xie Yu did find that it was quite convenient for foreigners to travel abroad in ancient times. Not only were they respected, but more importantly, they did not have to do corvee or pay taxes.
In ancient times, productivity was not as developed as it is now. Men were the main labor force, so women's status was lower, unlike in modern times... I won't go into details.
Xie Yu arrived first and reported to the Tianshi Taoist Temple outside the city. Fortunately, Xie Yu still had many acquaintances. Although these acquaintances were surprised that Xie Yu was still alive after being missing for more than half a year, they did not ask any more questions.
It turned out that Xie Yu was not an important figure in the Taoist temple. He was just a civilian Taoist priest who chanted and managed scriptures.
Now that he has returned, he will of course return to his original duties. Indeed, some Taoists have reported that the new Taoist priests from the Zhai Zhan Yi Department are not as proficient in Xie Yu's business.
To be honest, Xie Yu is still quite curious about this Taoist priest's career. Now that he's back, he has to experience it.
First, I get up early every day and recite the Tao Te Ching, the Infinite Man Sutra, the Beidou Sutra of Three Officials, the Huang Ting Sutra and other sutras.
During the chanting process, Xie Yu, with his innate state, could really feel the power of concentration and calmness, which could fill his energy for the whole day.
After learning about simple vegetarian food, he came to the Taoist temple to welcome pilgrims. At this time, Xie Yu went back to the Sutra Tower to sort out, read and copy sutras until night.
The vegetarian life was light, but Xie Yu actually lived a happy life.
Because he didn't know whether it was the reason of this world or the blessing of reciting Taoist scriptures, Xie Yu only felt that his understanding had greatly increased, and he became smarter than himself.
Many of Xie Yuhui's Taoist skills, especially the Xiaoyao sect's martial arts, Xie Yu quickly integrated into himself, especially the mysterious and infinite skills such as Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand, which made Xie Yu addicted to it. He only felt that this martial skill was endless. , I still swallowed dates by myself before.
Talents are discovered wherever they are. Xie Yu returned to Baling County Branch Temple only two months ago when he was noticed by a Taoist priest from Shangdong who inspected from above. He was recommended to Jiangxi General Temple to study the "Three Cave, Four Assistants and Twelve Categories" Tao Zang, it can be seen that having a good memory is not necessarily a good thing.
Xie Yu was also curious about the overview of Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi, so despite the tiring journey, he finally arrived at the overview of Longhu Mountain before the New Year.
When he got here, Xie Yu discovered that the overall view was Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, like a Taoist priest in the innate realm. Although he didn't know what his combat power was, there was one out of three. Xie Yu just felt that he was very ordinary here.
It's also a good thing that you don't have to hide yourself. It's too troublesome to hide yourself. However, there are very few innate realms of civilian Taoist priests. However, seeing others ignore Xie Yu's eyes makes Xie Yuhe happy.
Then Xie Yu followed the civil Taoist priests and quickly became addicted to Wenshan Daohai. It was strange. Xie Yu had never loved reciting the Taoist canon so much. Of course, he also had the guidance and exchanges with many fellow travelers.
This can be said to be the happiest time for Xie Yu since he started practicing. Not only was the Taoist scriptures recited, but as a civilian Taoist priest with a good status, most of the people in Longhu Mountain also had the secret books of the exercises open to Xie Yu.
What does it feel like when a mouse falls into the oil tank? This is what it feels like!
But these carefree and indulgent days lasted for three years. In June of the twelfth year of Sui Dynasty, the emperor's decree came from Chang'an City. The emperor would visit Jiangdu in the near future.
Invite some Buddhist and Taoist people to hold waterway meetings and fasting rituals in Jiangdu for the soldiers who died in the expedition to Goryeo. One is to relieve the soldiers who died in the disaster, and the other is to pray for the Sui Dynasty to avoid disasters.
Originally, Tianshi Dao did not want to participate because of the tyranny of the Sui Emperor, but I heard that many Buddhist sages were invited to hold a waterway conference.
Now the Celestial Master's Taoism is gaining momentum. As the top boss of the local sect, he must participate in the battle for incense and the battle for the ideological high ground.
Moreover, praying for the millions of dead soldiers is also a great meritorious deed. It is also a good time for Taoist disciples to accumulate external skills and eliminate karma.
To put it simply, if you do more good deeds, receive more praise from others, and receive more positive energy, you will have a healthy mind and no external evils, and good luck will come naturally.
As one of the few Taoist priests in the civil ritual department, Xie Yu was naturally selected. Of course, there must be recommendations from those Taoist priests who protect the law.
When Xie Yu asked them for advice, he also understood that the martial arts realm in this world is also divided into realms after innateness.
Just entering the innate realm can be regarded as the extraordinary realm, innate great achievements can be regarded as the master realm, and the innate perfection realm can be regarded as the grandmaster realm. In addition, there are great masters and supreme great masters.
The supreme grand master can only be achieved by legendary people, and "Sanren" Ning Daoqi, one of the three highest grand masters in the martial arts world, is a member of the Taoist sect.
After Xie Yu inquired privately, he learned that the three great masters were Bi Xuan, a Turkic warrior master who practiced "Yanyang Dafa", Fu Cailin, a Goryeo "Yijian", and Ning Daoqi, a "Bapu Sanshou" from the Central Plains.
The first two are very well-heeled, and everyone knows their origins. The third "sanren" seems to be a Taoist monk who came out of nowhere, and as a Taoist, he has gone with the Buddhist forces. Quite close, people in the Taoist sect also have a headache for him.
After three or four years of chanting and practicing, plus absorbing a lot of power from the Thunder Sun, Xie Yu has acquired pure skills that have lasted for over a hundred years, and is innately accomplished. He also feels that he may have touched the threshold of the martial arts master realm, but without a lot of battles, he It's impossible to estimate.
After all, it is said that one can reach the innate realm of martial arts masters, but martial arts masters are not necessarily in the innate realm, and there is also the issue of combat power. For example, the combat effectiveness of many innate civilian Taoist priests may not be as powerful as the second-rate martial arts masters, so it depends on the specific problem. .
After all, what Taoist explores is the relationship between the way of heaven and the way of humanity. With martial arts, it may be added to the relationship between martial arts and explorers. Many Taoist scholars even hate the killing skills of martial arts.
After getting ready, the team was led by Zhenren Ziyang, who had cultivated to the eighth level of "Huangtian Dafa". At this time, Zhenren Ziyang could be said to be the number one person in Tianshi Dao martial arts and the one closest to the Grand Master. Tianshi Dao also promoted him as a prominent figure.
For Xie Yu, although it was the first time he saw Master Ziyang, he immediately regarded the current Master Ziyang as his imitation object.
Especially according to rumors, Master Ziyang is not only good at inner alchemy, but also especially good at outer alchemy. He can practice elixirs that prolong life and double his power.
For elixirs such as health care, beauty and detoxification, Xie Yu has achieved some success in combining medical knowledge and Longhushan's elixir method through herbs in the past few years at Zongguan School.
Xie Yu cannot accept the heavy metals, mercury, lead and other refining medicines that can be used, and this is what Master Ziyang is good at. It's toxic, but it's more effective.
It's a pity that I don't have enough time to ask for advice.
