Chu Chen learned his lesson. Before taking the stage to preach the scriptures, he mobilized all the masters in his body to cover up his bone age and shield himself from the prying eyes of outsiders.
At first glance, he looked young, but it didn't cause a stir. People who didn't know about it just thought that Chu Chen was an old man who had learned excellent facial expression skills. Everyone was respectful, pricked up their ears, and listened attentively.
Chu Chen was quite satisfied when he saw this scene.
People are always so strange. Master Xu Pingdao wishes he could be a few years younger, so that he would have an easier time being caught up by his disciples.
However, Chu Chen felt that he was too young and could easily attract criticism, and that there would be many inconveniences in working in the public sector.
Finally no longer criticized because of his age, Chu Chen nodded with satisfaction.
Looking around, he saw that everyone's eyes were on him. He didn't have any stage fright. Lord Tongue Yuan showed his magical power. As soon as he opened his mouth, he spoke with great majesty, sweeping the land for miles:
"Dear Taoist friends, today I will explain to you the "Lingbao Saves People Sutra". Fasting and chanting this sutra has great merits. It can eliminate natural disasters and save people from poison. Men and women will be protected and saved, and they will have eternal life."
As soon as they heard that the lecture was "Lingbao Sutra", everyone present looked surprised.
The "Lingbao Saves People Sutra" is the source of all dharma streams of Taoism. It is the first of the group of sutras and has a very high status.
Of course, some people changed their faces on the spot.
That is Qingdu and Rouyun.
Although they were worried that the mountain chief's sermon would not go well, they still had hope. After all, the mountain chief is a serious fifth-level expert. If he talks about the life scriptures that he has studied for many years, even if there are no other commanders who are amazing, he will definitely be good. Where to go.
But
Isn’t Shan Chang’s natal sutra the Huangting Sutra? Why did you suddenly start teaching the Lingbao Sutra?
"this"
Rouyun and Qingdu had wonderful expressions on their faces, and they were feeling quite uneasy.
The old monk, Master Tongda, the governor of the county, entered meditation. His face was neither happy nor sad, but there were still waves in his heart.
In fact, Master Tongda also criticized the Taoist mountain chief sent by Xianting.
It has nothing to do with personal grudges. He has no personal opinion against Chu Chen. It's just that Chu Chen is too young.
Although the talent is high, the growth rate must be very fast, but Yunzhou is in the stage of expanding territory and vigorously advancing, and there is no time to wait for this genius to grow.
As the governor of the county, he is in charge of the affairs of demons, demons and gods in the county. He has many complicated matters and heavy responsibilities. He is walking on thin ice, fearing that he will not do well or that unreliable subordinates will hold him back.
Of course, Master Tongda had not shown it before. Today, he put aside his important errands in the Department of Ghosts and Gods and personally attended the opening ceremony of the Taoist Temple to give a sermon. He wanted to take a test and see what the talent of the Middle-earth genius was.
On the viewing platform, the only ones who have confidence in Chu Chen are probably Qingying and Xiao Guizai.
On the futon on the high platform, Chu Chen felt the various emotions of everyone in the dojo and understood clearly in his heart.
He has reached the most critical step.
Today, if he can take this step and win the applause of the whole house, he will be able to break all doubts, be proud and proud, and truly start to preach the path of enlightenment in Yunzhou.
Thinking of this, Chu Chen was determined. He immediately abandoned distracting thoughts and calmed down his breathing.
Before reciting and explaining the Taoist scriptures, he first thought about the transformation of the spirit, and the spirit turned into the Yuanshi Tianzun, sitting on a five-color lion floating in the air.
The lion is the majestic god of the Yuan Dynasty.
When the five qi heads towards the Jiang Palace, the majestic spirit transforms into a lion. The Heavenly Lord transformed by the Yuan Shen enters the Dantian with green on the left, white on the right, red in the front, black in the back, and yellow in the middle. Therefore, there is the image of a five-color lion. Five elements.
In the sea of consciousness, being able to think about "Yuan Shi Tianzun Xuan is sitting in the air with a five-color lion floating in the air" means that Chu Chen has understood the true meaning of the alchemy path in the "Lingbao Saves People Sutra", has complete five elements, and has extraordinary attainments.
"In the past, in the clear sky, the blue sky sang and the earth was full of phlox, and I received the immeasurable best in saving people from the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty."
"When you recite this sutra, your soul will be pure, your energy will last forever, you won't suffer, your body will be bright, you will be a bodyguard in the three realms, you will be welcomed by the five emperors, you will be greeted by all the gods, your famous book will be sent to heaven, you will be fulfilled with your merits, and you will ascend to the higher realms."
Chu Chen realized the true meaning of the alchemy method in the "Single Treasure Sutra", which contained mysterious Taoist charms. As soon as he opened his mouth, there was an extraordinary sound, and the sound of the law was rolling, as if a heavenly deity was preaching, majestic and majestic, sweeping through the Taoist temple.
Originally, many people in the dojo were not focused and had confused thoughts. When they heard this melodious and mighty voice, which seemed to be the voice of the Dharma floating from the sky, everyone felt like a wake-up call, and their whole bodies were roused.
"What a profound attainment in alchemy!"
Among the people present, Master Tongda had the highest level of Taoism and cultivation. Although he practiced Buddhism, he could see the way as soon as Chu Chen opened his mouth. With his clairvoyance, he faintly glimpsed the vision of "the Heavenly Lord Dharma Xianxuan sitting on a five-color lion floating in the air."
Immediately, Master Tongda was surprised.
Without profound attainments in alchemy and a profound understanding of Taoist scriptures, it would be impossible to have such a vision when preaching the scriptures.
"I didn't expect that Fellow Taoist Lingxiao would hide his secrets so much. With this accomplishment, he is probably considered the best among all the county Taoist mountain chiefs!"
The look on Master Tongda's face was wonderful.
Before this, he was dissatisfied and worried about the personnel arrangements of Xianting, but in the blink of an eye, his dissatisfaction disappeared and was replaced by joy - he had found a treasure.
Master Tongda's joy only lasted for a moment. After a while, he had no thoughts at all. His whole soul was empty, and his mind was completely attracted by the mighty sound of preaching.
There is no other reason. The moment Chu Chen opened his mouth to lecture, the rays of enlightenment from the Heart Temple flew out and hung around Chu Chen, like a god or a saint, shining brightly and illuminating all the listeners in the Taoist temple.
Not only Master Tongda, but also the high-level Taoist cultivators and guests on the viewing platform, the monks in the audience, the Zuo Dao monks, demon monks lurking in the depths of the dense forest, and even ordinary birds, beasts and insects, all looked at him with wisps of enlightening rays of light above their heads. On the high platform, listen to the sounds of heaven with your ears raised, and be intoxicated by the Taoist scriptures, as if you are intoxicated.
There are sixty-one volumes in the "Lingbao Saves People's Sutra", each volume has its own heading, and the content is explained based on the first volume.
The entire canon can be divided into three broad categories.
The first category explains the wonders of yin and yang, the three talents, and the five elements. It tells about the creation of the universe, the opening of heaven and earth, and the great ways of heaven and earth, which are mysterious and mysterious.
The second category elaborates on preserving one’s appearance and nourishing one’s spirit, seeking immortality and seeking truth.
The third category is to pray for relief, eliminate disasters and solve problems, and control ghosts and suppress demons.
The entire Dao Sutra is profound and profound, with great merits and virtues. It is the core classic of Shangdong Xuan Ling Bao Sect, the opening sutra of Dao Zang, and the source of the Dharma Realm.
There are sixty-one volumes in total, and Chu Chen naturally cannot explain them one by one. He just recited the opening volume one, annotated the meaning of the scripture "Lingbao has no measure of people", and then extended the practice of alchemy, explained the mystery of inner alchemy practice, and explored The way to live forever and seek truth.
This commentary on the true meaning of the inner elixir of the "Lingbao Renren Jing" comes from the Taoist senior Shang Yangzi. Chu Chen understood and absorbed it, and integrated it into his own insights. He added to the shoulders of giants and formed a set of alchemy theories that are unique to him. .
Reciting scriptures, annotating their meanings, and explaining the inner alchemy path are quite profound.
There were only a few people in the audience who could keep up with Chu Chen's thinking and fully understand the mysterious method of alchemy.
However, even if you can't understand the whole article, you can still understand only half of it, it will benefit a lot for low-level monks, and their moral practice will improve.
This is also the reason why the audience booed and asked the Taoist priest to give a lecture.
A fifth-grade strong person has profound Taoism and deep understanding. Even if he only understands a little, he will benefit a lot.
However, Chu Chen not only had attainments in Confucian classics, but also had profound attainments in alchemy. He also had the Xiaguang teachings from the Heart Temple and the magical power of "Heart Tells the Gods".
When Chu Chen was lecturing on the scriptures, the rays of light shone brilliantly and showed off his magical powers. The true meaning of the scriptures evolved in the hearts of every listener, as if they were enlightened. Everyone was mesmerized and immersed in it.
Chu Chen's lecture lasted from sunrise to sunset.
Around the ashram on the outskirts of the city, all living creatures were prostrate on the ground, motionless. Wild beasts and birds did not hunt, deer, muntjacs, cattle and rabbits did not eat grass, and poisonous snakes and insects lay dormant, silent.
It was as if he had been taught by a saint and bathed in the light of the great road.
When the sunset filled the sky, the sound of heaven floating in the dojo on the outskirts of the city suddenly stopped, and the silent nature came back to life again, with birds flying and animals walking around, and insects neighing. Everything returned to the same state as before.
Birds, beasts and insects cannot understand the true words of the saint, and they have missed an opportunity to transform from the ordinary to the real.
The monks and monsters in the dojo were waking up from a dream.
However, there was no scene in the past when the master's sermon ended and the audience cheered.
After the sermon ended, there was silence inside and outside the ashram.
Everyone present seemed to be still immersed in it. Everyone closed their eyes to relax and savor the insights just now.
Some people have a faint smile on their faces and are in a happy mood, as if they have experienced great enjoyment and are extremely happy;
Some people are very upset and hate that they have taken a detour;
Some people are overjoyed, as if someone who has been stuck on a rough road for a long time has found a bright road, and they are inexplicably excited.
Master Tongda, the governor of the county, was the first to wake up, with a look of aftertaste on his face.
After thinking about it, he was extremely surprised.
He practiced Buddhism intensively, converted to Buddhism, and had little exposure to Taoist scriptures. However, when he listened to Chu Chen's sermons, he was deeply attracted, and he almost couldn't control himself, and he had the idea of converting to Taoism.
"What a genius from the middle-earth country, but I have the eyesight not to recognize Ling Yunmu. I never expected that Taoist friend Ling Xiao, at such a young age, had such attainments in Confucian classics and alchemy, that he would actually resonate with me, and I would express my feelings. The vision that was preached was amazing, really amazing.”
Master Tongda no longer had any complaints about the personnel arrangements of the Immortal Courtyard, only surprises.
He has perfected the fifth level of Taoism and is only one step away from the realm of great supernatural powers. However, after listening to the scriptures, he actually had insights and was greatly inspired.
This level of lectures and teachings is a bit unworthy of being the head of the County Daoyuan.
There are two people, Rouyun and Qingdu, who have similar ideas to Master Tongda.
They had always been worried about the sermons of their mountain chief, thinking that the mountain chief was too young and his classical attainments would definitely not be as good as those of other county and Taoist school chiefs. After a comparison, they would definitely be outclassed.
The entire Wanquan Taoist Temple may be eclipsed by this.
However, Rouyun and Qingdu were deeply shocked when they heard Jun's lecture.
They have been preaching and teaching on the front line of the Taoist temple all year round, and they know that Shan Chang has extremely high attainments in Alchemy and Taoism, and he is also a master figure who has moved from "cultivation" to "enlightenment" without listening to Shan Zhang's scripture annotations.
The most important thing is that after listening to the Tao discussion, the two gained a lot. They actually gained some insights. They suddenly figured out what they had been confused about in the past, and their Tao practice has improved by three points.
The Taoist Priest of Qingdu swallowed his saliva and said, "I never expected that the Master would have such profound attainments in the "Lingbao Saves People Sutra". I benefited a lot from your words and my Taoist practice has become somewhat improved."
Immortal Aunt Yurou nodded slightly: "Me too, Senior Brother Qingdu, didn't the mountain chief say that his natal sutra is the "Huang Ting Sutra", and "Lingbao Saves People Sutra" has such attainments, then doesn't the "Huang Ting Sutra"
Taoist Priest Qingdu also thought of this, and took a breath of cold air, thinking deeply about it.
On the viewing platform, Qingying and Xiao Guizai also woke up.
The kid took credit and said, "Sister Ying'er, what I said is right. Senior brother's sermons are very powerful. I love listening to them. I have gained a lot from listening to them. My magical powers of [Mediating Disasters] have improved a lot."
Qingying's beautiful eyes are shining again and again.
She had often discussed Taoism with Chu Chen before, and she knew Chu Chen's attainments in Confucian classics and alchemy very well. However, this time, she gained more than before and gained a lot of insights.
As the Dragon Girl of the Earth, a descendant of the innate gods, and possessing the fifth level of Taoism, she naturally saw that Chu Chen's teachings were different this time.
"Erlang, when did you have the ability of [Heart Telling Gods]? This is a magical power that many great magical monks have not been able to master."
Qingying's face was full of surprise.
At first, the fifth- and sixth-grade experts on the viewing platform woke up, and soon the audience in the dojo also recovered from the aftertaste.
Everyone had different expressions.
But the only thing that was the same was that no matter who listened to Chu Chen's lectures, they all gained more or less.
Some people have high understanding and understand a lot, while some people have insufficient understanding and understand less.
"That's it, I understand, hahaha~ The doubts that have been bothering me for many days are finally solved."
"I also realized it, and the bottleneck was solved as soon as possible."
"It's enough to hear the truth in the morning and die in the evening. It turns out that I went astray before. No wonder I have been trapped in a bottleneck for a long time and cannot extricate myself!"
Everyone on the scene shared their feelings and expressed their joy.
There were even people on the field whose auras were changing, and their spiritual energy gathered around them, and there were faint signs of a breakthrough on the spot!
After a moment of commotion, no one knew who shouted.
"Thank you so much to Grandmaster Lingxiao for teaching and giving me the Dharma!"
Bow down and bow as a disciple.
One person took the lead, and then everyone on the field followed suit, bowing and bowing as disciples!
Even, deep in the jungle, a demon monk made a "thump" sound and knelt down on the ground to salute.
Seeing this scene, the kid became anxious:
"Good guy, why are there so many people trying to take my job? How can I ask for favors when you kneel down and worship me!"
However, the little ghost's voice was too soft and was soon drowned out by the congratulations from the audience.
"Thank you so much to Grandmaster Lingxiao for teaching and giving me the Dharma!"
The sound is like thunder, soaring into the sky,
On the futon on the high platform, Chu Chen slowly woke up from his aftertaste.
Everyone on the scene was inexplicably excited and thanked him loudly.
A faint smile appeared on Chu Chen's face.
Obviously, the effect of his opening sermon was very good, and everyone in the ashram benefited a lot.
Discussing Taoism and teaching Dharma is, to a certain extent, a process of summarizing his classics and alchemy, and he himself has benefited a lot from it.
However, the greatest reward is the teaching effect of preaching.
Under his Dharma eyes, the surrounding glow flew towards him like a swallow returning to its nest.
