In the Taoist Temple of the Imperial Capital, there is the Sutra Collection Building.
In the past, Taizu Dachang had great power over the world and unified all the people. He collected the talismans, exercises, and scriptures from all over the world and put them into the treasury.
Among them, the scriptures are stored here.
In the Sutra Collection Pavilion, Daoist Sutras, Buddhist Sutras, and Confucian classics from various schools and sects are gathered here. It is the most complete collection of Sutras in the world, attracting countless experts to come here to seek the true sutras and understand the Great Way.
Since he met Master Huixin and Master Xuanfengzi, Chu Chen did not disturb Taoist Changfeng and followed them directly to the Sutra Collection Building.
"Ling Xiao, [Xuan Guan Yijiao] [Vacuum Non-dual Method] is the innate path to the great road. It is mysterious and mysterious. You can't force it."
When we arrived at the Sutra Collection Building, we discussed the profound realm of [The First Aperture of the Profound Entrance] and [The Wonderful Realm of Vacuum]. Master Huixin was afraid that Chu Chen would have delusions that would affect his practice, so he reminded him in time to avoid going astray.
Xuan Fengzi on the side also nodded in agreement:
"Yes, Ling Xiao, although many seniors have gained enlightenment in Taoist and Buddhist scriptures, these are rare and special cases. They have accumulated a lot in daily life, and only then can they gain enlightenment in chanting sutras."
Master Huixin nodded slightly: "Everything must have a predestined relationship. Only when there is a cause will there be an effect."
"Thank you, Master Tai, and fellow Taoist Xuanfeng for your guidance."
Chu Chen cupped his hands to thank him and smiled secretly in his heart.
The two old superiors were afraid that when he first entered the upper third level, he would become arrogant and have delusions, which would affect his chanting and enlightenment. After half a year, he would not be able to reach the stage of being awarded the [Big Cave Urn], which would delay the next Immortal Court High Gong Conference, resulting in Missed the opportunity to join the Immortal Central Elder's House.
He was quite grateful for their kindness.
However, he is not an impetuous person.
In the ordinary world, someone who is over forty years old is considered an "old man" and is classified as an "elderly". However, in the world of immortality, he is still young and has unlimited advantages, so he naturally has no impetuous thoughts.
While the three of them were talking, they arrived at the Sutra Collection Building soon after.
The Sutra Collection Tower towers into the clouds. It is said that this building is thirty-six feet high, corresponding to the thirty-six levels in the sky, one for each floor. It is the tallest building in the Taoist Temple of the Imperial Capital.
The surrounding area is heavily guarded, and is guarded by several powerful guardian deities. All entry and exit must be strictly reviewed before one can enter to study the Taoist scriptures.
Back then, when Chu Chen came to the Imperial Capital Taoist Academy to study Taoism, his Taoist cultivation was low and he was not qualified to come here to practice.
After many years, after reaching the upper third level, he could enter the Sutra Library without any hindrance.
After showing the alternate elder token of the Immortal Central Presbyterian Academy and verifying his identity, he successfully entered the Scripture Collection Building.
The Wendao Sutra Pavilion is different from the ordinary Sutra Pavilion. As soon as you enter, you will see tall stairs and a vast sea of scriptures, winding upwards, straight to the sky, giving people an extremely shocking impact.
In addition to scriptures, futons are placed on each floor for people to meditate, chant scriptures and understand Taoism.
There are many people meditating in the Sutra Collection Building, including Taoists, monks, and great Confucians. All of them are practicing in the path of great gods.
Of course, there are also divine guardians wearing golden armor in the building, who are always guarding the Taoist scriptures to prevent anyone from hiding them secretly, or from being possessed by evil spirits, destroying the scriptures, and guarding them at all times. The alert level is extremely high.
Chu Chen, Master Huixin, and Xuan Fengzi all have upper-level third-level supernatural powers, and the arrangements are of a relatively high standard, and they are arranged on the 30th floor.
There are exactly three unused futons on the 30th floor.
The three people were not polite and sat down one after another, communicating with the scriptures in the Scripture Pavilion with their spiritual consciousness.
Chu Chen has been cultivating for these years, and reading and chanting sutras is essential in his daily homework. He has a deep knowledge of sutras, and he has not dabbled in ordinary sutras for the time being. This time, his purpose is very clear, and his target is directed at the Three Cave Sutra.
The so-called Three-hole Scripture is divided into three parts.
Dongzhen Shangqing Sutra, Dongxuan Lingbao Sutra, Dongshen Three Emperors Sutra.
The teachings of the Three Cave Scriptures are the wonderful edict of the One Vehicle, the mysterious words of the Three Scenes, and the steps for people in the Taoist sect to understand the Taoism.
Chu Chen's spiritual consciousness communicated with the Scripture Depository, and countless scriptures floated before his "eyes".
"Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing", "Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing Jade Jue Sound and Meaning", "Dadong Jade Sutra", "Taishang Cave Xuan Ling Bao Chi Shu Jade Jue Miao Sutra", "Dong Xuan Ling Bao Chi Shu Jade Jue Miao Sutra" "Dong Xuan Ling Bao Five Elders She Zhao Beifeng Demon Chi" "Shu Jade Jue", "Secrets of the Three Emperors' Neiwen", "The Wonderful Essence Sutra of the Eight Emperors of the Dongshen" and "The Yuanbian Sutra of the Eight Emperors of the Dongshen".
One after another, the three-hole scriptures passed by in a flash.
Chu Chen didn't choose, he took a photo casually, and a "Dadong Jade Scripture" appeared in his hands.
Immediately, he held the Taoist scripture in his hand, cleared his mind and calmed his mind, swept away the dust on the spiritual platform, and without any distractions, his mind sank into the Taoist book in his hand.
When you reach deep concentration and tranquility, unknowingly, the inner temple quietly emerges from the depths of the sea of consciousness.
For a moment, Chu Chen Yuanshen sat cross-legged in the Heart Temple.
Under the plaque of "All Dharmas Return to the Sect", holding scriptures in hand and wearing the glow of enlightenment, I devoted myself to studying the Taoist scriptures.
There is no time in the mountains, the day and night follow each other.
Unknowingly, half a year passed by in a flash.
A square in the Taoist temple was crowded with people. The wide flat ground was packed to the brim. Hundreds of futons were packed. There were even Taoists and scholars sitting on the stone piers at the edge of the square.
Among this group of people, there are those with seventh-grade Taoist cultivation, some with fifth- and sixth-grade Taoist cultivation, and there are even some who are strong in the realm of great supernatural powers.
The scene was a lively one.
However, the square did not appear noisy at all, but was very quiet.
Everyone held their breath and stared at the young Taoist sitting cross-legged on the futon on the high platform, giving lectures.
"The sky is empty and gleaming, and the chaos has not yet been judged. The great road is about to be transformed, so the mysterious text is issued in the middle of the sky; the emptiness suddenly condenses, and it is a wonderful black knot almost falling into the blue."
At this moment, the young Taoist's whole body was exuding a faint glow, his mouth was slightly open, and he was preaching, and the faint sound echoed around him.
The audience in the audience were all mesmerized, deeply immersed in the profound Taoism and unable to extricate themselves.
It was like a lively scene of a Taoist sect giving lectures.
The person who lectured on the scriptures was none other than Chu Chen.
During the six months he was cultivating in the Imperial Capital Taoist Academy, Chu Chen only went to the Imperial Capital once to meet with his younger brother Pengju’s father-in-law and the Minister of War, Tang Boqing, and to walk around the two families. During the rest of the time, he stayed in the Imperial Capital Taoist Temple’s Sutra Collection Building. , I gained a lot from studying the scriptures, and gained a new understanding of the cultivation of immortality and the golden elixir avenue.
Of course, in addition to studying the scriptures, Taoist Changfeng warmly invited Chu Chen to serve as a doctoral student in the Taoist academy and lecture on the scriptures to the disciples of the Taoist academy.
Chu Chen, who is in the heart of the temple and possesses the "Education Xiaguang", gladly accepted the invitation from Changfeng Taoist.
On the one hand, Taoist Changfeng is the first deputy mountain chief of the Imperial Capital Taoist Academy and the actual person in charge of the Taoist Academy. It is difficult for him to refuse the help of his "old boss" and "old brother".
However, the most important thing is that those who can come to the Imperial City Taoist Temple to cultivate are the leaders from all over the world, and they will be the mainstay of the future of the cultivation world. Some of them may even give birth to the Optimus Pillar, which is the future of the future, which is no small matter.
Giving lectures in the Taoist temples of the imperial capital is itself a stage for making a name and gaining prestige.
He is young and unknown in the world of spiritual cultivation. It was only recently that he reached the upper third level, survived the catastrophe, and married the Dragon Girl of the Earthly Dragon Palace. Only then did he become famous among the higher echelons of the spiritual world. However, looking at the world of spiritual cultivation, he is still famous. He is unknown and few people know him.
Giving sermons in the imperial Taoist temple can help him gain fame on the one hand, and removing the word "candidate" will help him to enter the Central Presbytery.
Back then, when Chu Chen was only at the seventh level of Taoist practice, he was a listener, listening to Taoist masters preaching the scriptures. Unknowingly, he had respect for the people who lectured on the scriptures.
Years passed.
With his status reversed, Chu Chen lectured in the imperial capital and became a Taoist master in the eyes of others.
This is also true.
Thanks to his profound Taoism and the help of his teaching Xia Guang, his lectures were more effective with half the effort, and everyone who came to listen benefited a lot.
The entire Gyeonggi region, and even Zhongzhou, all know that a Taoist priest with profound Taoist teachings has come to the Taoist Academy of the Imperial City to give lectures on sutras, from the simple to the deep and then to the subtle and mystical. Listening to you for one Dharma session is better than several years of hard training. .
In just half a year, he became famous in the imperial capital and in the world of immortality.
It is precisely because of this that Chu Chen was awarded the thirteenth-level [Big Cave Urn] by the Immortal Court without any examination, and was awarded the title of the third-level [Dongshen Mage] by the Immortal Court, truly ranking among the top ranks of the Immortal Court.
Thanks to his profound Taoist teachings and great reputation, public opinion from the outside world has been very vocal for him to join the Immortal Court Central Presbyterian Church. Everyone who has listened to his sermons respects him very much.
Although external public opinion cannot influence the Immortal Court Presbyterian Church, its influence is still considerable and can sweep away a lot of resistance.
As long as Mr. Ming Jing and Master Yulou intend to let him enter the Presbyterian Church, it will become a certainty that he will join the Presbyterian Church.
Of course, in addition to greatly increasing the chances of joining the Presbyterian Church, there are also unexpected blessings.
That was when he was preaching scriptures, he "accidentally" expounded many theories of cultivation of the Tianxin lineage, which made the Tianxin sect once again shine in the world of immortality.
The outside world seems to regard him as the "Tianxin Zhengzong" and "the master of Tianxin lineage resurgence", with great momentum.
"The ceremony is over, please disperse."
"Boom!"
Like bells in the morning and drums in the evening, at the Dharma gathering, a group of Taoist disciples, doctors and monks who came to the Taoist temple for pilgrimage immediately bowed and bowed as disciples.
"Thank you Master Chu for your guidance!"
Chu Chen nodded slightly, with a faint smile on his face;
"Today, I have something to do. Let's take the first step. If you are confused, you can think about it by yourself. If you are still confused, next time you and I will discuss the matter."
Everyone in the square looked disappointed, but no one complained. They all bowed their hands and said yes.
Chu Chen smiled and nodded, and immediately, his body swayed and disappeared on the high platform futon.
Not long after, his figure appeared in the cave where he was staying.
Normally, after Chu Chen gives lectures to everyone, he will not leave immediately, but will stay to answer questions and discuss Taoism with others.
This move not only benefited those who participated in the lectures and Dharma conferences a lot, but for Chu Chen, it was also a good opportunity to discuss Taoism and improve Taoism.
However, this time, Chu Chen was not in the mood to answer everyone's questions.
There is no other reason for this. At this moment, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration and realized something.
In the past six months, he has studied the scriptures in the Sutra Library, not only Taoist scriptures, but also Buddhist and Confucian scriptures, and he has benefited a lot.
In a sense, this was the first time he had a deep exploration and thinking about spiritual practice in a real sense.
The subtle influence on him was no less than comprehending the "White Crane Picture in the Blue Sky" in Mo Yuan's small world and comprehending the Great Cloud Seal Script.
The scriptures are the explanations of heaven and earth, the Buddha's sermons, and the teachings of saints. They are the macroscopic way of heaven and earth, while the "White Crane in the Blue Sky" is the unity of heaven and man, giving a glimpse of everything and the natural laws of heaven and earth from a microscopic perspective.
One big and one small, one moving and one quiet.
Both sides complement each other and are indispensable.
This time when he was giving a sermon in a Taoist temple, he had a sudden inspiration and enlightenment.
Immediately, he did not miss the opportunity, returned to the cave alone, sat down on a futon, and then his mind sank into the sea of consciousness, immersed in the scriptures, calligraphy and Taoism.
I don’t know how much time passed.
Chu Chen stayed in the cave and fell into silence. There was no movement for a long time.
However, at the Taoist Scripture Library a few miles away, there were waves of commotion.
I don’t know when it started, but the tall building quietly trembled slightly.
It seemed as if a strong wind was roaring, stirring the tall buildings.
Such a vision immediately made the Dharma Protector Generals in charge of guarding the Scripture Library nervous. They all looked nervous as if they were facing a formidable enemy, for fear that something might happen to the Scripture Library.
In fact, the Sutra Library, as a place where treasures of scriptures are stored in the world, is very easy to attract demons from outside the area to steal the scriptures, and monks often go crazy and cause trouble.
Under normal circumstances, the guardian gods will perform their duties wholeheartedly, and ordinary minor disturbances will be quickly suppressed without causing any trouble.
However, the scene this time was obviously extraordinary.
Although the Sutra Library looks like an ordinary tall building, in fact it is a top-notch magic weapon. Not to mention howling in the wind, even if the mountains collapse and the ground cracks, it can be as stable as Mount Tai.
But now, the situation is a bit special, which makes all the experienced tower guardian generals panic, and they have to report to the chief of the mountain and the immortal court.
Not only the Dharma Protector General was panicking, but also the monks who were cultivating in the Sutra Building also woke up one after another and all looked sideways, showing doubts.
"Please fellow Taoists, please don't act rashly."
The Protector General shouted loudly, with a serious look on his face.
The enlightened people in the Sutra Library all knew that the matter was serious, but no one left without permission to avoid getting into trouble.
At the moment when everyone was in astonishment, in the scripture building, each scripture containing spirituality glowed with a faint aura, and Taoists, gods, great Confucians, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas wearing various styles of clothing emerged from the scriptures and all looked towards them. Make a bow in a certain direction:
"Congratulations to fellow Taoist, I am not alone in my Taoism!"
The sound of congratulations was heard three times in a row, and the lingering sound lingered.
Upon seeing such a strange phenomenon, the nervous expressions on the faces of all the Dharma-protecting generals and sutra-enlightening monks in the Sutra Collection Tower disappeared, replaced by expressions of astonishment.
"A fellow Taoist explores the [Xuanguan Yi] and gets a glimpse of the mysterious female door, the innate infinite path or the vacuum non-dual method. In the past, seniors had epiphanies and similar visions happened, which triggered the manifestation of the spirit of the scriptures and congratulations! "
A pale-haired old Taoist with great supernatural powers had sharp eyes and a very excited face. He looked around with his consciousness and looked at the people in the Sutra Library, cupped his hands and said:
"I wonder which fellow Taoist has broken through the [Xuanguan Yi], climbed to the heavenly level, and opened up a path to immortality? Congratulations!"
As soon as the words fell, the Sutra Library was filled with excitement, and there was no longer the silence of the past.
However, no one answered.
"Fellow Taoist Xuanfeng (Master Huixin), but you have discovered the secret of Xuan Guan?"
On the 30th floor of the Sutra Pavilion, Master Huixin and Xuan Fengzi asked each other questions in unison.
The two of them have profound Taoist practices and profound magical powers. They both have a great chance to break through this bottleneck and embark on a higher path to immortality. This time they came to the Imperial Capital not only for errands, but actually because Moyuan Xiaotiandi had some enlightenment, so they came to the Imperial Capital Dao. Qianxiu in the hospital.
However, at this moment, the two of them shook their heads and said in unison.
"not me!"
After saying this, not only Master Huixin and Xuan Fengzi, but also everyone in the Sutra Collection Tower showed doubts and made speculations in their minds.
"Which fellow Taoist is it that has this opportunity?"
