"So, you have to choose one of the four of us as your preaching master." Sa Shoujian said, "The word here is 'master', not master. Because you have been ranked with the emperors of the past dynasties, and you are the direct successor of Taojun. Disciple. It is impossible for you to perform a grand ceremony on five or six people by yourself, that is what only Lu Bu can do."
"Yeah, sure."
"So, you don't know what you all know, right? Let me ask you a question first. You are very familiar with the Emperor, and the Emperor practices Alchemy and Cauldron Dao. Then do you know why the Emperor practices Alchemy and Cauldron Dao?"
"Eh? I don't know. I didn't ask him. But the Emperor said that this was what Taoist ancestors taught him."
"Yes, it was taught by Dao Lord. Dao Lord taught the Alchemy Dao to all the emperors of the past because Dao Lord was familiar with Thunder Dao, Alchemy Dao, and Xuan Dao, but Dao Lord used the 'Alchemy Dao' to command the Taoist alliance. Danding Dao, It is one of the five mysterious gates of Taoism - the so-called five mysterious gates are Taiji Gate, Danding Gate, Xuanzhen Gate, Sword Immortal Gate and Fuzhuan Gate, which is now the Thunder Gate.
"Among the Five Mysterious Sects, the Danding Sect has been opened as early as the Qin and Han Dynasties, and each sect has more or less the inheritance of the Danding Sect. The Taiji Sect was opened the latest, and was only opened in Wudang Mountain during the Song and Yuan Dynasties. These Five Mysterious Sects, The disciples of the five paths are the Qi cultivators, Dan cultivators, Xuan cultivators, Sword cultivators and Lei cultivators that you usually see. After the five sects were established one after another, the Daohua Xuanhui of this dynasty came into being. Among them, Zhang Tianshi’s achievements are extremely great, because the Taiji Sect is an incompetent method, a supreme mystery, and it requires a powerful person to open the mountain.”
After saying that, he nodded to Master Zhang opposite, which was regarded as a greeting and a thank you. From Fuxi's interpretation of the Bagua, to the opening of the Danding Sect in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and finally to Wudang's completion of the opening of the Tai Chi Sect, the Taoist sect has finally taken its first solid step after thousands of years of changes, and the entire road leading to the great avenue is complete. Through. The second step, which is the emperor's entry into the Tao, has been completed. Now, it’s time to take the third step.
Zhang Tianshi nodded in return and looked at Shangluo. The task of taking the third step now fell on him:
"So Shangluo, I want you to choose one of the five. I want you to choose a path from Tai Chi, Xuan Zhen, Sword Immortal and Shenxiao Xuan Lei outside the Tao Lord's Danding Sect to start learning. Of course, no matter you No matter which one you start learning from, you have to learn all five of them together. This is how the Tao Lord enters the Tao."
"Yes, I know."
"And, it's not just the Five Mysterious Sects. In addition to the Five Mysterious Sects, the Taoist Sect also has the five skills of 'Mountain Doctor Divination' and the three transmissions of 'Dun Jia, Qi Lu, and Shen Da'. There are a total of thirteen unique skills, which are the Jinyiwei The 'Thirteen Taibao' in the book. They are thirteen talents who are accomplished in thirteen kinds of special skills."
Sa Shoujian added: "To put it simply, it's like a class representative in your school. Each course has one. If you study well, you can become a class representative. There are thirteen such class representatives."
"Do you need to learn all of these?"
"Yes." Sa Shoujian nodded, "You have to learn them all. You have to master all thirteen secrets of Taoism and master all five of them. That is, 5 Category A courses and 8 Category B courses. All classes must be passed. In the end, you have to choose one of the Five Mysterious Sects to command the Taoist Sect. This is your mission. The Taoist Master uses the Alchemy Sect to command. Judging from your natural endowment, you should be Let the Sword Immortal Sect lead you.”
"Oh~~~I remember that I seemed to be the head of a sword."
"Although it is the head of the sword, from our observation, you have only reached the first of the nine levels of Sword Immortal: Yujian. Later there are ink-shaped swords, air swords, fire-light flying swords and even heavenly swords. Related content You can check it out in the "True Dragon and Tiger Nine Immortals Sutra" in the Daozangdong Zhenbu method category - but the first level is the most important. For the Sword Immortal Sect, if you don't "encounter the sword", the subsequent eight levels of cultivation will There is no way to talk about it. What makes you powerful is not the Sword Immortal Way, but other mysteries besides the sword. But from another perspective, you still have a lot of room for improvement in the Sword Immortal Way, and there is no limit in sight."
"ah"
"I'm not someone with high emotional intelligence." Worried about offending Shangluo, Sa Shoujian added, "You are so good at fighting in the first level, and you have a bright future in the future. Because the most important thing about the Sword Immortal is being able to fight. .Winning is the Sword Immortal Way. Failure to win is just the Immortal Way. No matter which level you practice, it is useless. So if you use the Sword Immortal Way to command the Taoist sect, you cannot sit in the middle of the army like a Taoist king. Use the sword. , is going to see blood.”
"Ah this."
"Sound familiar, right?" Sa Shoujian smiled, "We have also heard about what you did in Rome. It seems that this is your path. Then, let me introduce you to Xuanmen: Lu Zu, Sword Immortal Sect. Qiu Tianshi, Xuanzhen Sect. Zhang Tianshi, Taiji Sect. And Pindao, Shenxiao Sect. In addition to the Five Xuanmen, each of us is proficient in one or more 'skills' and 'transmissions', covering All 13 kinds of secret arts. For example, if you know Wang Lingguan's movies, you should know that in addition to thunder, my sect also has divine skills. Among these secret arts, the most important to the Sword Immortal Sect is the 'Mountain Doctor' The mountain in fortune telling."
"Mountain? What do you mean?"
"Mountain Technique is also Lu Zu's secret skill. Lu Zu practiced the Second Way of Sword Mountain and the Legend of Dunjia. But when it comes to what 'mountain' is, this cannot be explained in a few words. Do you know that among the Thirteen Taibao of Jin Yiwei, Mountain Technique ranks No. Several?"
"I remember that I ranked first in sword cultivation, second in thunder cultivation, fifth in Xuan cultivation, and seventh in alchemy cultivation. How much is the mountain?"
"Finally. Among the Thirteen Taibao, the one who practices Shanshu is ranked thirteenth. Why last? Because he did not participate in the competition. Shanshu can be regarded as the knowledge of hiding swords. Use charms to attract good luck and avoid disasters, and use body cultivation to guide Qi. To forge the essence, you need to study, take medicine, and practice meditation. These are all for the moment when you draw the sword. Shanshu is the art of hiding the sword to kill evil. If you don't participate in the competition, you don't want to compete with others, so you don't draw the sword to others. "
"It took ten years to sharpen a sword, but the frost blade has never been tested. I show you today, who can have any injustice - like this?"
"You did a good job in the Chinese language class." Sa Shoujian nodded.
"So, Shanshu is the art of Ren Xia?"
"You are getting closer and closer to the answer step by step. The so-called mountains and wilderness, from another perspective, are the rivers and lakes. And the rivers and lakes are the world of knights. The sword immortal way can also be said to be the swordsman's way. The sword cannot leave the knight, and the knight cannot leave the sword. So at that time During the competition, Shanshu didn't refuse to participate - he didn't come at all. A knight is far away from the temple, and a knight is a knight who travels to the end of the world with a sword. Wang Yangming's enlightenment in Longchang was the mountain path. He came from the mountains, Back to the mountains again.”
"I seem to have the answer." Shangluo raised his head and looked at the Jingshe, "Taozu, I already have the answer."
