Kunlun Mountains.
After the three saints finished teasing, they all looked at Xuan Chen.
The first person to speak was Master Tongtian: "You have understood the way of the innate Bagua this time, which is helpful to the perfection of the way of heaven. That's why the way of heaven will send you such merits. Now if you absorb all the merits, you will be enough to step into the realm of quasi-sage." realm."
"Become one of the top cultivators under the saint."
"The road of cultivation is long, and this disciple would like to explore step by step and see the scenery above this peak. I don't want to use the power of merit to improve my cultivation." Xuan Chen bowed his hands.
"The road is long and long, and I will search up and down."
Although the road to Hunyuan is now cut off, Xuanchen still wants to try it himself. If he doesn't climb the cliff, how can he appreciate the stunning scenery of the mountains? If he doesn't climb up, how can he know that there is no way ahead.
Even if the journey is long, it will be accomplished; however difficult it may be, it will be accomplished.
Looking at Xuan Chen's resolute face, Tong Tian smiled and said: "You are worthy of being my disciple of Tong Tian. This is the style of my true disciple of Jie Jiao. However, your uncle has given you two spiritual treasures. As a master, I Don’t be stingy anymore, I will give you a spiritual treasure today, pick whatever you like.”
After saying that, Tongtian Cult Master waved his hand, and more than a dozen spiritual treasures appeared in front of Xuan Chen. They were all top-grade innate spiritual treasures, which shocked everyone present.
There are Hunyuan whisk, Shangqing Baozhu, Dinghai Shenzhu, Four Elephant Pagoda, Sun and Moon Pearl, Yin and Yang furnace, Golden Phoenix hairpin, Dragon chanting flute, Finger pointing knife, Wonderful pendant flag from the sky, Star map, Purple electric hammer, Fishing drum, Pictures of Hidden Immortals, Water and Fire Gourds, Heart-piercing Locks, Ruyi Bags, etc.
Xuan Chen quickly thanked him and looked at the many magic weapons.
As expected of the Lingbao Tianzun, there are probably only a hundred or so of the best innate spiritual treasures in the entire prehistoric period, but in the end, you only got a dozen of them, don’t let others think.
Among them, the Hunyuan Whisk, the Dinghai Divine Pearl, the Purple Electric Hammer, and the Heart-Piercing Lock are all top-grade innate spiritual treasures with forty-eight innate restrictions. They can be said to be the top treasures among the innate treasures.
The Hunyuan whisk was originally a treasure held by Taoist Hongjun. After Hongjun became a saint, he distributed the treasures to the Six Saints of the Heavens at the Dividing Treasure Rock. As the favorite disciple of Hongjun, the Master of Tongtian taught Hunyuan the whisk. Yuan Fuchen was given to the leader of Tongtian Cult.
Needless to say, there is no need to talk about the Dinghai Divine Pearl. The spiritual treasure Yuan Fei refined by Tongtian Cult Leader has shone brightly in the conferment of gods in later generations.
The Purple Electric Hammer can release the Purple Sky Divine Thunder, which can be seen from the fact that the leader of the Tongtian Cult used it to beat me.
The Heart-piercing Lock was worn by Tongtian Cult Master, which shows how precious it is. In later generations, the Tongtian Cult Master gave it to his third-generation disciple Yu Yuan to capture the Immortal of Chan Cult because he was afraid of leaving his grandson. However, before he could take action, he was captured twice with a rope to tie the Immortal. Therefore, The performance is not obvious, but it cannot be underestimated.
As for the others, they were ignored by Xuan Chen. If you want to choose, just choose the best one.
"You ate a Wind and Thunder Immortal Apricot before, and your body transformed into the body of innate thunder. The innate Eight Diagrams you have learned also includes the way of thunder. Logically speaking, the Purple Electric Hammer is the most suitable for you, but the Heart-piercing Lock can lock people. Even a quasi-sage cannot avoid the soul, which is not bad.”
Seemingly seeing Xuan Chen being a little entangled, the Tongtian Cult Master spoke.
The shape of the lock is like a longevity lock. The lock body is golden and there are mysterious heavenly inscriptions engraved on both sides of the lock body.
It is said that once the heart-piercing lock is used, the victim will have three flowers on his head, all the five qi in the chest will dissipate, and the three souls, seven souls and internal organs will also be firmly locked, leaving the victim unable to survive or die. Not even Daluo Jinxian can escape.
The Heart-piercing Lock can be regarded as one of the few powerful magic weapons in the hands of the Tongtian Cult Master.
Xuan Chen looked at the Heart-piercing Lock, then at the Purple Electric Hammer, and finally at the Dinghai Divine Pearl.
"This disciple still feels that he is destined to have this Dinghai Divine Pearl. Please give it to Master." Xuan Chen bowed his hands and said.
Although the purple electric hammer is suitable for me, I may not necessarily follow the path of thunder in the future. As for the heart-piercing lock, it is mainly for control rather than killing. I have the prototype of the merit spiritual treasure Douting Net, which I can refine by myself in the future.
After much thought, he chose the Dinghai Divine Pearl, not only because of its power and the ability to open up the twenty-four heavens, but also because he wanted to see if Junior Brother Gongming would be killed if the Dinghai Divine Pearl got into his hands.
"That's fine!"
Upon hearing this, the leader of Tongtian Cult waved his hand, and the Dinghai Divine Pearl was in Xuanchen's hands.
Then they called Jin Ling, Wudang, Gui Ling, and Zhao Gongming, and said: "Duobao was the first to worship me as his teacher and had already given him innate spiritual treasures. Sister Sanxiao also had innate spiritual treasures when she worshiped me as her teacher." Granted, the four of you have been my disciples for a long time, but they have only refined a few acquired spiritual treasures and given them to you. Today, I will each grant you an innate spiritual treasure."
"Jin Ling, if you teach me a lineage of senior sisters, I will give you a Four Elephant Tower."
"Wudang, if you don't like fighting, I'll give you a golden phoenix hairpin."
"Guiling, you are a turtle who has attained enlightenment. You are more than capable of defense, but not enough of an attacker. I will give you the Sun and Moon Pearl."
"Gongming, you are the shape of the clear wind, and the flag falling from the sky has the hazy universe. The ability to control the wind is perfect for you."
After saying that, the four magic weapons fell into the hands of four people, and the four people quickly thanked them.
Then Saint Taiqing said: "Xuanchen, you have deduced and perfected the innate Bagua today. How about teaching this innate Bagua to many disciples?"
Everyone in the audience looked at Xuan Chen. Feeling the scorching gazes from all around, Xuan Chen quickly said: "This disciple is very talented and has little knowledge. How dare he show off in front of a saint?"
Although Xuan Chen evolved the innate Bagua with the help of what he learned in his previous life, he was unable to explain it clearly like a saint, so he hurriedly said modestly.
"It doesn't matter! On the way of Tao, those who have achieved it are the first. Only those who can walk their own way in the wilderness can achieve the realm of quasi-sage. Although saints are all ants below them, in fact, saints have only gone farther on the way of Tao. You can make the heavens send you merits, that’s what you’re capable of.”
"That disciple is showing off his embarrassment!"
After speaking, Xuanchen began to explain his understanding of the innate Bagua. Although most of it was from the Book of Changes, Xuanchen also added his own understanding.
Tai Chi is one, it is Tao, it is the chaotic vitality of materiality when heaven and earth are not divided. Tai Chi generates Yang when it is moving, and Yin when it is still. It generates two rituals. One yin and one yang are two rituals.
The two rituals of one yin and one yang each give birth to the image of one yin and one yang, that is, they are divided into two and give rise to four images. The four images are Shaoyang, Sun, Shaoyin, and Taiyin. This is the saying that "two organs give rise to four images." .
The innate Bagua: Qian, Kun, Kan, Li, Zhen, Gen, Xun, Dui.
Qian represents heaven, Kun represents earth, Kan represents water, Li represents fire, Zhen represents thunder, Gen represents mountain, Xun represents wind, and Dui represents Ze.
After the two phenomena give rise to the four images, the four images each generate yin and yang, giving birth to the Bagua, that is, the four images generate the Bagua. That is to say, on the four images of Shaoyang, Sun, Shaoyin, and Taiyin, a Yang Yao or a Yao is added to each of them. Yin Yao, "folded into three", produces eight new symbols.
For example, if you add a yang line to Shaoyin, the resulting form is called Li Gua; if you add a yin line to it, the resulting form is called Zhen Gua.
By analogy, the following are generated: Qian 1, Dui 2, Li 3, Zhen 4, Xun 5, Kan 6, Gen 7, and Kun 8. This order of arrangement of the eight trigrams and their hexagram numbers are the numbers of the innate eight trigrams.
The generation of innate numbers is due to the chaos of Tai Chi, which is formless, imageless and has no position. It is just the mutual generation of Qi, the sequential addition of yin and yang, and the natural creation of numbers from one to eight, so it is called "innate".
The sky is above and the earth is below; there is a blue sky above and thick soil below; heaven is the master of creation and the earth is the home of nourishment; heaven governs all things and the earth accommodates all things.
Because heaven and earth have established the position of up and down, the Bagua uses the two symbols of Qian and Kun to represent heaven and earth, high and low, far and near, up and down, noble and cheap.
Heaven is superior and earth is inferior, which does not mean that the earth is one level lower than the sky, but that the sky is high and the earth is low, and the sky is far and the earth is close.
The Xiantian Bagua uses heaven and earth to determine the upper and lower parts, and distributes the six major objects of the sun, moon, mountains and rivers, thunder and wind between the sky and the earth.
If we use human nature as a metaphor for the "positioning of heaven and earth", it would be positioned as a couple, with Qian as the male and Kun as the female. They represent the interaction of the yin and yang of heaven and earth.
From the perspective of hexagrams, the Qian hexagram corresponds to the Kun hexagram, the Dui hexagram corresponds to the Gen hexagram, the Li hexagram corresponds to the northern Kan hexagram, and the Zhen hexagram corresponds to the Xun hexagram.
In terms of hexagrams, each group of hexagrams has three yin and three yang.
Therefore, the enlightenment brought to us by the innate Bagua is the balance of yin and yang, which means that the way of heaven and earth is the way of balance.
Xuan Chen could not speak like a sage preaching like a lotus blooming on his tongue, causing flowers to fall from the sky, golden lotuses to emerge from the ground, and other visions, but he also imparted his insights into the Yin and Yang Bagua without reservation, and spoke them out without reservation.
After speaking, everyone seemed to have realized something, and even I nodded in approval.
"What do you think is a saint? Or how to become a saint?"
I suddenly asked, which made Xuan Chen startled. I definitely don't know what a saint is. This is a test of myself.
Saint is the pinnacle of ancient spiritual practice, a state that countless practitioners hope to achieve, but it is not just a state.
The saint has no name, the god has no merit, and the perfect person has no self.
"Disciples believe that a saint must achieve the Three Lis in order to be a saint."
"What is Sanli?" I asked.
“The three establishments should be establishing virtue, establishing merit, and establishing reputation.”
"To establish virtue, that is, morality, we need to establish high morals; to establish meritorious service, that is, to make contributions to all sentient beings in the world, such as establishing a great religion like the three saints to gain merit; to establish words, that is, to put forward remarks with true knowledge and insight, such as the way of inaction, such as The way of explanation is like the way of cutting off the sky." Xuan Chen replied.
"Then how do you think we can establish virtue, meritorious service, and reputation?" I asked again.
"People should have three views: see the heaven and the earth, see all sentient beings, and see themselves. See the heaven and the earth, and know reverence, so they are humble; see all living beings, know mercy, so they are tolerant; see themselves, and know the way home, so they are open-minded."
"If you want to establish virtue, meritorious service, and reputation, you must first see the heaven and earth, see all living beings, and see yourself." Xuan Chen thought for a while and replied.
Everyone looked at the two people asking and answering questions, but they were all confused and could not understand the true meaning.
Only the three saints and Xuan Chen knew that this was a reminder to themselves, to cultivate the Tao first and cultivate the mind first.
When I heard Xuan Chen's answer, I couldn't help but smile and said: "Shan, if you can figure this out, you can expect great success."
