The first place can choose to practice Taoist ancestor skills? Can Taoist ancestors also teach the Dharma? Is this considered recruiting a disciple?
Halfway through Old Man Baihu's words, the faces of all the Jinshi changed with shock, and their hearts were full of questions. At the same time, they also pricked up their ears for fear of missing something.
Dao Ancestor, this person only exists in myths and legends. In the official historical records of the mortal world, Dao Ancestor may appear only when the imperial examination system was first established.
Even when the Taoist sect in the mortal world tried to establish a Taoist court to be on an equal footing with the heavenly court, the Taoist ancestors did not intervene until they sat back and watched as the heavenly court became the dominant family and established a perfect new order.
Therefore, any news about Dao Ancestor is considered secret, let alone a half of the skill. It would be nice to know his name.
Old Man Baihu glanced at the other Jinshi who were "studious" and suddenly thought of something: "I forgot to introduce myself, old man. My name is Song Xian. I am a loose immortal who stays in this realm to guard the Jinting Cave. Normally, except for the royal family of various dynasties, I will bring people with me." Come in, you will be the first batch of Jinshi."
What is the realm of Sanxian, above or below Mahayana?
But in short, it should be a fairyland. Zhou Bai immediately took the lead and bowed before bowing: "I have seen the immortal Songxian!"
Then he lowered his eyes, but in his heart he was analyzing and verifying some of the information he knew.
Without the support of heaven, the human dynasty in the mortal world cannot be stable, and Jinting Dongtian should be one of the means of support from heaven.
Why can a mortal dynasty establish the Daolu Department and let all Taoist sects in the world send people to serve as Taoist officials? It is not just that the dynasty has a few Yangshen as its foundation, but it is also profitable.
The Cave Heaven and the Blessed Land seem to be juxtaposed, but the Blessed Land resides in the underworld and can only protect the souls of the dead.
Only the Cave Heaven resides in the mortal world, and the effect of cultivation is ten times and a hundred times that of ordinary spiritual lands. Not to mention the other resources it can provide, this Cave Heaven can have great attraction.
According to some rumors, the former Jinshi did not attend the Qionglin Banquet in Dongtian. Using this as a spiritual place for practice would occupy the Daolu Division's training time.
When Zhou Bai came in just now, his soul sensed that there was no strange smell. According to the style of heaven, the place should have been cleared.
Just imagine, if Jinting Cave Heaven does not allow the Imperial Court Daolu Division to enter cultivation in the future, then the Imperial Court's attraction to high-level monks above Yin Shen will be greatly reduced.
It can even be predicted that the collapse of the imperial court's force that shocked the world will start from the top.
When Song Xian heard Zhou Bai and the others' names, he laughed and said: "Hahaha, the old man was in a daze, and he almost dragged you into the cause and effect. It's about Dao Ancestor, are you sure you want to listen? Only those who are destined to practice Dao Ancestor's skills can succeed, and If you are not destined, it will only be a waste of time."
The other Jinshi took a few steps back after hearing this. It is inevitable that they have been blessed by the "immortals" to get to this day. For example, if 30,000 people participate in the examination, no matter how confident they are, they will try their best to enrich their luck.
But if you borrow something, you must repay it. Borrowing one and repaying ten is not bad. I am afraid that the process of resolving cause and effect will waste too much time and energy and hinder my own practice.
Taoist karma is scary to hear.
"The top five can choose the ones taught by the Emperor of Heaven, the top ten can choose the ones taught by the saints, and others can also choose at will on the third floor, including many immortal techniques. After all, they are just techniques. It just depends on whether they are suitable. Maybe this week the boy will still be able to choose. By struggling in the mortal world, you have already become immortals."
"Why do you seek Taoism? Just for longevity." Song Xian stroked his white beard and sighed.
It seemed that it was really just a call from the Immortal, which suddenly made this Loose Immortal talk a lot more, and they were all words of persuasion and comfort.
The forty-eight Jinshi are all dragons among men. How can they not understand the truth? Faced with high-level skills, their anger will gradually dissipate.
"I'm waiting to learn from you." He bowed and thanked her, with some sincerity in it.
To be honest, what if these principles are not explained by Xianxianxianxian.
Song Xian calmly accepted everyone's teacher's greetings, then waved his hands and said: "The first floor has a reserve of spiritual food, the second floor is a place for retreat, and the third to sixth floors are the library. First, each of you will choose the exercises separately. The first five Go to the sixth floor, the top ten go to the fifth floor, and the rest of the Jinshi go to the fourth floor."
"If you have any questions, you can ask Qi Ling. Zhou Bai is coming with me." Without waiting for a response, Song Xian grabbed Zhou Bai and disappeared.
Weapon spirit?
This building is actually a magic weapon. There are only six floors mentioned. How big must it be.
"Hello all heavenly beings, I am Xiaojin, the tool spirit of Jinting Tower. I will be responsible for your cultivation life in this building. Please call Xiaojin if you have any confusion."
With the crisp sound, the environment on the entire floor suddenly became brighter, allowing the Jinshi to see their surroundings clearly.
Walking inside are rows of quiet rooms, which are also the places where they come down to retreat and enter the Tao. Behind them is the stairway, from where they can go up and down.
Even if the stone door of the quiet room is closed and blocked by restrictions, you can still see a piece of spiritual mist floating at the door. This is really caused by too much spiritual energy.
The weapon spirit did not show up. Pang Lesheng, who was standing in the crowd, was the boldest and shouted directly to the ceiling: "Xiao Jin, how long can we practice in Jinting Cave Heaven? The higher the ranking, the longer the time?"
Si Jie is forty-one, Shi Xiu is forty-three, and Pang Lesheng is forty-six. All three of them are in the bottom ten, so they are inevitably not confident in terms of rewards and benefits.
"According to the decree of the Heavenly Court, the duration of cultivation at each level is different. Pang Jinshi, you are ranked 2nd and 46th, and you can practice in the cave of the Jinting Tower for one month."
"Then do I have any other rewards?"
"The related spiritual elixir treasures will be distributed separately after everyone enters the quiet room to practice." The voice of the weapon spirit was still clear, but it didn't seem to have much emotion.
While others were still on the second floor asking questions, Zhou Bai was already grabbed by Song Xian and taken to another floor.
There was no struggle, or in other words, he had no room to resist. In front of Sanxian, the Soul Clarity Realm had no effect.
A strong feeling of dizziness hit him, as if he was being dragged down into the abyss. When he woke up again, he was already on another floor.
Everything is silent and silent.
No matter how he looked at it, Zhou Bai felt that something was wrong with this place. With his keen perception, the surrounding space seemed to be distorted and undulating.
"No wonder he is the number one in the second level. He is still a mortal, and his soul may have broken through the realm of perception. This is the seventh floor, a complete virtual plane, and the six floors below are incomplete virtual planes." Song Xian is naturally Zhou Bai noticed something was wrong and said with some appreciation.
Zhou Bai asked in confusion: "Shangxian, the Immortal, what is the virtual plane?"
"A plane is a complete world, with corresponding complete world rules, big or small. For example, our Tianyuan world is a big world."
"Demiplanes are incomplete planes that exist dependent on planes, and their rules have some gaps. However, because of the gaps, some demiplanes will highlight certain characteristics during the evolution process, making them more suitable for the survival of extraordinary beings. , Cave Heaven Paradise belongs to the demiplane."
"As for the virtual plane, it's even simpler. It can only exist depending on the plane or demi-plane. The rules of the plane are not only not missing, but also completely fictitious.
The rules are generally set up by the person who established the virtual plane, or they are automatically derived and generated according to the rules of the main plane. For example, the spiritual realm where the ancestors live is a typical virtual plane. "
Song Xian seemed to have completely woken up. He even explained Zhou Bai's small question in full, which was definitely unreasonable.
So Zhou Bai then asked: "Shang Xian, Master Songxian, I can learn the techniques passed down by Taoist ancestors. Could it be that I am destined? And what role do you play?"
Song Xian took a deep look at Zhou Bai: "Yes, Taoist Ancestor left three techniques in Jinting Cave Heaven thousands of years ago, waiting for the fateful person to make his choice."
Thousands of years ago? ! Zhou Bai thought the other party was joking at first, but after thinking about it for a moment, he felt it was very possible.
Dao Ancestor, what a person, I heard that there is only one person in the huge Tianyuan world.
If you learn the Dao Ancestor Kung Fu by yourself, you won’t inherit any big karma, right?
However, the fact that I traveled through time itself is a great cause and effect. If you don’t dare to take the opportunities in front of you, how can you achieve enlightenment?
"As for what role I am? Hahahaha..."
Just when Zhou Bai was struggling, Song Xian suddenly laughed again, and finally cried and laughed, and his unwillingness and helplessness were completely poured out.
"Me, I'm just a maggot hiding in the cave! Because once I get out, I will face another disaster and be shattered to pieces."
"Do you think I have a close relationship with Daozu? I'm afraid his old man doesn't even remember that he has such a number one person like me, but it's okay. Even if it's just a hint of advice, I will definitely repay him."
"This may be too noble to say, but I don't dare to go out anyway, old man. Why don't I accompany Xiao Jin to guard the Jinting Tower..."
Now that his identity was revealed, Zhou Bai no longer had any scruples, and instead started chatting freely with Song Xian.
This loose immortal has only been with the spirit of the weapon for a long time, and he just wanted to talk to a living person. Zhou Bai told him some things outside, and he answered Zhou Bai's questions.
It turns out that the rumors about the three realms of Dharma, transcending tribulations, and Mahayana are correct. Basically, when you reach Dharma, you need to prepare to transcend tribulation. If you successfully transcend tribulation, you will be in Mahayana, and you will ascend immediately without special means.
This is why, in the mortal world, True Lord Yang Shen is the pinnacle of walking monks, and the next three realms are all working hard to become immortals.
As for Sanxian, they are characters who have survived the tribulation and possess some Mahayana realm powers. They are definitely among the strongest in the mortal world.
Heavenly Court thought that Song Xian was related to Daozu, so he tolerated him living in Jinting Dongtian, and even let him serve as the guard of Dongtian.
There are not many tasks assigned, but whenever there is a change of dynasty, the current royal family will be recognized.
Now, it is the first official edict issued by heaven to take care of Zhou Bai's group of Jinshi.
After a long conversation, Song Xian looked much better and urged Zhou Bo to get down to business: "Okay, hurry up and choose the exercises. The Qionglin Banquet prepared by Xiao Jin for you is only available tonight, and all the spiritual food in it is It is a treasure from the cave."
Song Xian waved his hand, and the distorted fluctuations in front of him were slowly smoothed out, and three Taoist scriptures appeared slowly floating on the empty bookshelf.
Zhou Bai was not polite and walked straight to the bookshelf. The names on the covers of three Taoist scriptures came into view.
They are: "Nine Revolutions of Reincarnation Secret Sutra", "Haotian Lu", and "Hunyuan Qi Luck Dao Zang".
"You can only choose one. Remember that the best method is the one that suits you." At this time, Song Xian also walked to Zhou Bai and reminded him.
】
Zhou Bai nodded and picked up the first "Nine Turns of Reincarnation Secret Sutra" first. Without him having to read it, a stream of light shot into his eyes.
"It is difficult for a person to have everything go smoothly in his life. There are three yuan and nine misfortunes, major and minor disasters, and his destiny cannot be changed... However, it is difficult to achieve the great road. If you can't do it in one life, what about nine lives? Overcoming tribulations and being reincarnated, nine reincarnations can lead to enlightenment... …”
If the accumulation of the path in one life is not enough, then two lives, three lives... until the nine lives are unified, you can finally reach the highest state.
The technique directly points to the achievement. If the nine lives are unified, one can at least become a semi-saint. If the accumulation is rich enough, it can even reach the level of a saint.
There is no doubt that Mu Yong is a supreme skill, and it is safe and can protect the practitioner of the method for nine reincarnations.
But after browsing through it briefly, Zhou Bai put down this secret book because it was really not suitable for him.
One life is the life of ten thousand generations. At the juncture of the war between Tianyuan Realm and Qingxu Realm, there is no time to slowly reincarnate in nine lives.
The main reason is that Zhou Bai is really not sure whether he will still be his original self after nine lives, and can the golden finger of the Book of Luck be reincarnated with him so many times?
Song Xian remained silent behind him, so Zhou Bai put down the "Nine Revolutions of Reincarnation Secret Sutra" and picked up the second "Haotian Lu".
Just by looking at the name, you can tell that this is the standard method passed down by Tao ancestors, otherwise who would dare to be named after Haotian.
In the Tianyuan world, there is only one Taoist ancestor, and that is God Haotian.
In order to avoid taboos and show respect, no matter who the person is when mentioning Haotian, they will only call him Taozu.
"Tao refers to the ultimate truth of spiritual understanding; Dharma refers to the mystery of change. Tao helps people because of the Dharma, and people understand the Tao because of the Dharma, and the changes are endless. You should know that the Dharma is originally empty, and the source of nature is pure and clear; it can be understood with one mind. If there are ten thousand dharmas, then all dharmas are in one mind; if you return to all dharmas and illuminate one mind, then one mind will be in all dharmas."
"My insights into the Tao in this life are combined with my experience in this life to write this Tao record...Those who are destined to learn from me should know that those who learn from me will live, and those who are like me will die. Those who come after me will learn this record, and most of them will not be able to transcend enlightenment and stop on my path. After that, remember..."
It is worthy of being the personal biography of Haotian Daozu. It is just a brief summary, but it also made Zhou Bai confused after reading it. It took him a long time to think about it.
This Haotian Record is almost a summary of Daozu's life experience. It can be said to be a unique treasure in the Tianyuan world. Even a saint would not be tempted to see this technique.
Thinking of this, Zhou Bai was slightly startled. Thinking of Song Xian behind him, hadn't he been guarding such a treasure mountain?
"What are you thinking about? Boy, even if I go out, I won't be able to say anything about this method. The same goes for those Jinshi. Don't worry about being exposed."
"There are several other Dao ancestor techniques in the Heavenly Court, and many semi-saints have learned them. No one knows that Haotian recorded them here." Song Xian misunderstood Zhou Bai's intention for a while, thinking that he did not dare to learn them.
Zhou Bai shook his head and did not say whether to choose or not. Finally, by some strange coincidence, he picked up the third book "Hunyuan Qi Luck Dao Zang".
His biggest reliance was related to luck. When he saw these two words, he felt inexplicably kind. He didn't even choose the only copy of "Haotian Lu" for the first time.
"The name of the Yuan Dynasty is the beginning of heaven and earth. Doesn't it mean that the beginning exists before heaven and earth? Today, heaven, the passing of the sun and the moon, the scattering and moistening of wind and rain, and the stirring of thunder, people know that it is the creation of heaven, but they do not know that it is the way. Its function is also..."
"Hunyuan has no attributes and can absorb the spirits of the world; luck is present in all living beings, especially human beings. It is incomparable to control it, but the fate of controlling luck can still be learned... Hidden dragons are good at gathering Everyone, the stronger the power of Hunyuan Qi... The lower level is that you can't ascend to immortality, the upper level is that you can open a path, or look at the great Luo..."
It means that this is a non-attributed technique, there is no such thing as fire method or water method, it can contain the spirit of the universe.
The key is to use the characteristics of luck later. Zhou Bai simply feels that it is customized for himself.
He is not a destined person, who is a destined person?
"You don't want to choose the third book, do you? That was not written by Haotian Daozu, but came from the outside world..."
"Young man, listen to my advice. Haotianlu is at least in front of the semi-saints and has no bottlenecks. Why do you, a mortal, need to pursue the so-called great road?"
Zhou Bai slowly put down "Haotian Lu" and finally grasped "Hunyuan Qi Luck Dao Zang". The joy of the Qi Luck Book deep in the Lingtai helped him make a decision.
"All the immortals and gods only want to live forever, but I, a mere ant, want to live forever."
