Lecture Hall.
"Human Tao is born from nothingness, and the spirit is concentrated in nothingness. One yin and one yang nourish all things."
"The Taoist is endowed with the functions of the five behaviors, which are promoted by metabolism and endlessly..."
Zhou Yi wears a heaven-reaching jade crown and a large purple Taoist robe. He sits upright with his lapels in his arms, holding a scripture in his hand and reading aloud.
The recitation of Taoist scriptures by the sages ended and the explanation began word by word.
Zhou Yi is now eight hundred and twenty-six years old. Since the first chapter of Tianlao, he has been practicing Taoist martial arts. After that, he traveled to Xiaodan Mountain, Zhengyangyuan and other places, practicing for more than 800 years, and never stopped reading and comprehending the works of the sages.
Nowadays, when I talk about it, I cite scriptures and allusions with great eloquence. It not only combines with other Taoist scriptures, but also extends the magical effects of immortal Taoism.
The subtle words and big meanings point directly to the essence of practice.
However, few of the more than a thousand disciples below could concentrate, and some were confused, some were wandering, or even drowsy.
After finishing a volume of "Fu Bo Zhenren's Analysis of Doubts and Mysteries", Zhou Yi's magic power was almost restored, and he was about to leave to continue ripening the wood. Someone among the disciples below stood up and saluted.
Yu Shou bowed and said: "Elder, this disciple has doubts."
"speak."
Zhou Yi fell to escape the light, but his magic power continued to circulate, absorbing spiritual energy all the time.
The spiritual energy of Jiuzhou is far more abundant than that of East China Sea. Without consuming spiritual stones or taking elixirs, you can recover four or five more mana every day.
Yu Shou saw that the elder had a gentle tone and was always kind, so he boldly asked: "Disciple doesn't understand. Now that the spiritual energy of the world is getting thinner and the road is cut off, why is the elder still diligent in preaching?"
The wandering disciple pricked up his ears, and the sleepy disciple suddenly woke up.
Zhou Yi smiled and said: "I remember you. I always miss my parents and relatives. I never thought of coming to Jiuzhou with my sect."
"Thank you, elder, for your concern."
Yu Shou's eyes were red, and he kowtowed three times on the ground: "When the ancestral line was severed, the disciples left the sect and returned home. Their parents have passed away. After paying homage in front of the grave, there will be no worries about the East China Sea."
Zhou Yi asked: "You usually listen to the scriptures very seriously. What is the difference between Pindao's lectures now and before?"
Yu Shou thought about it carefully and said: "Originally, the elder's teachings were pragmatic, focusing more on Qi refining and escape techniques. In the past year, he has been pragmatic and talked about the great road, immortality, and becoming an immortal!"
"very good."
Zhou Yi glanced at the disciples and said: "I, the elder, and all the real people in the sect understand why you are depressed. You are trapped in the underground palace without freedom even though your path is hopeless."
"The underground palace is cold and cold, how can there be such pleasure in the ordinary world of flowers and flowers, the glory and wealth?"
All the disciples looked ashamed after hearing this. The Taoist monks have been reciting scriptures for a long time. The influence and training they have received since childhood is that practice must be pure and natural, and they should not admire worldly wealth.
As a result, the underground palace had been dormant for a year, and many disciples were discussing in private, full of resentment against the sect's prohibition on leaving the underground palace.
"How can wealth be easily obtained? If you go out now and rely on your magic skills, you can indeed live a rich and elegant life."
Zhou Yi continued to ask: "However, the spiritual energy of the world is getting thinner. In the future, the monks will be rare and disappear completely. What should we do if there is no magic?"
Yu Shou pondered for a moment and said: "The elder means that you can exchange the works of sages for wealth?"
"Children can be taught."
Zhou Yi nodded and said: "There is no shortage of people in this world who want to cultivate immortality, or in other words, people who dream of immortality, but these people are rich and powerful. As long as you know the scriptures about immortality, you can make money even if you don't use magic to make elixirs. Get rich!"
The disciples in the hall suddenly realized that Jin Dan Zhenjun's words were correct, and the resentment in their hearts immediately dissipated.
Yu Shou asked: "I wonder how long we have to wait?"
Zhou Yi pretended to calculate with his fingers and replied.
"Wait quietly, the time is coming!"
…
Qian Jing.
Chunfeng Tower.
Decades later, business is still booming.
Zhou Yi used the Shape Transformation Technique to transform into a young master. His cultivation revealed the third level of Qi Refining, and he walked in swaggeringly.
After Da Qian unified Yunzhou, there were many casual cultivators in Qian Jing. Now that the ancestral line has been severed, many cultivators have gathered here to enjoy the worldly glory and wealth.
As soon as I stepped through the door, I breathed in the familiar smell of powder.
Before the old madam came over to greet him, an old man came over first. He had two tufts of beard and two eyebrows on his long face.
"Fellow Taoist, do you want a book?"
Zhou Yi's spiritual consciousness swept over the seventh level of Qi Refining, and asked: "What classics?"
Seeing Zhou Yi's intention to buy, the old Taoist was immediately happy. He led him into the luxurious box on the second floor, drove away more than ten girls inside, and took out four jade slips from the storage bag.
"The old Taoist Xu Ling has all four skills of cultivating immortals, and his origins are extraordinary. He is definitely not comparable to those wild Taoists outside!"
Zhou Yi picked up the jade slip at random and scanned it with his spiritual consciousness. More than ten formations were recorded in it.
One of them is called the Mote Formation, which is extremely mysterious and is said to be able to shrink a thousand miles of land into a mote of dust. The mountain-protecting formations of the two realms of good and evil in Jiuzhou were integrated into this formation.
"It's really extraordinary. I wonder where it comes from? If it's stolen, I wouldn't dare to buy it."
"Don't worry, fellow Taoist, the old Taoist is originally a disciple of the Five Spirits Sect."
Xu Ling finally found the enemy and quickly said: "Back then, the old Taoist broke into the Ghost King Sect with the Yuan Ying Ancestor, killed several demon cubs, and collected the inheritance from them."
"I see."
Zhou Yi didn't care whether it was true or not, and asked, "What's the price?"
"five……"
The old Taoist deliberately lengthened his voice, noticed that Zhou Yi's brows were slightly furrowed, and immediately changed his words: "Ten spiritual stones."
What was once the top secret of the sect and the inheritance that was hard to count in spirit stones has now been reduced to selling it to everyone in person, and you can win it with just fifty spirit stones.
The sect-protecting formation consumes a huge amount of spiritual stones, and there are no spiritual veins to share it. Sects everywhere have repeatedly reduced the scope of the formation in order to reduce consumption. One day, the formation restrictions are no longer useful, and the immortal way will be annihilated.
Therefore, inheritances such as the Dust Array instantly fell into a pile of old paper and were almost worthless.
Perhaps the first one was more expensive when sold. After all, it was a rare inheritance from the sect. The old Taoist in front of him had resold it countless times. Zhou Yi didn't believe that he could kill the disciples of the Ghost King Sect.
"Ten spirit stones."
Zhou Yi took out the spirit stone from the storage bag and said: "If there is a similar inheritance in the future, whether it is a martial art or the Four Arts of Immortal Cultivation, I am willing to buy it."
There was a hint of foundation-building aura as he spoke, which made Xu Ling sweat on his forehead and nodded repeatedly.
"Don't worry, real person. This junior knows many disciples of the Five Spirits Sect and will definitely buy all their inheritances."
Zhou Yi nodded slightly, turned into light and left, hoping to celebrate again another day.
…
Spirit Fire Hall.
Zhou Yi is comprehending the Dust Array and trying to integrate into the Illusion Array and the Spirit Gathering Array.
It is planned that in the future, the spiritual energy will be completely cut off, and three to five acres of land will be circled and reduced to the size of fine dust, and trees will be planted to hide from the world and cultivate.
Master Zhai knocked on the door, came in, bowed and reported.
"Elder, today I attended a gathering of monks and defeated the royal guard in a duel during the banquet."
Baiyunguan settled near Qianjing for a year, and did not hide the identity of Jiji Master. They deliberately made friends and quickly integrated into the monk circle. He attended banquets from time to time, and because of his mysterious thunder skills, he gradually became famous in Qianjing.
"Nowadays, demons are everywhere in Yunzhou. The imperial court has repeatedly expanded the Immortal Bureau and recruited monks to kill demons and eliminate demons. You have defeated the royal guard and the real person. The current emperor is working hard to govern, so he will definitely want to recruit you."
Zhou Yi said: "With your strength, you can easily control the Immortal Pension Department, and then recruit sect disciples to join it. The tide of the end of the law is unstoppable, and the Earth Fire Palace inheritance may be here!"
Zhai Zhenren said doubtfully: "Elder, this does not mean that the sect is attached to the imperial court, it is just the Li family..."
"Times have changed! Originally, the imperial court was beyond the scope of the sect. However, the spiritual energy is getting thinner and thinner day by day. If the Earth Fire Palace wants to inherit it for a long time, it must rely on the imperial court's canonization and recognition."
Zhou Yi said: "Now support Daqian in suppressing demons and monsters everywhere. In the future, when spiritual energy is completely cut off and demons no longer exist in the world, it will be the time when Daqian will return to the Earth Fire Palace!"
Master Zhai suddenly said: "What the elder said makes sense."
"The inheritance of the sect does not necessarily mean cultivating immortals. For example, the classics written by the sages have long since died, but their spirits and names have been passed down to the world. On the contrary, those powerful Yuanying ancestors have remained nameless after their death."
Zhou Yi said: "Dihuo Palace... No, it's Baiyunguan. If you get the support of the Daqian court in the future, you may be the leader of the Taoist sect. In the eyes of future generations, you will be a sage-like figure."
"Hiss! The leader of the Taoist sect! The sage!"
Master Zhai's eyes flashed, he was horrified by Elder Tang's ambition, and he whispered.
"Elder, do you want to try to evade the Li royal family, and then Li Daitao will take over the power of Daqian?"
"Li's family is not simple. Don't forget that there are people above her."
Zhou Yi reminded: "The Alchemy Cauldron Sect is just closed. The Li family's spiritual root master is cultivating inside. As a direct disciple of the master, he may not be able to be promoted to the Golden Alchemy Master before he is extinct!"
"The elder is thoughtful."
Zhai Zhenren only felt that his old bones had regained strong motivation. He wanted to become a Taoist sage, and he had already begun to think about changing to a more majestic and loud Taoist title.
At this time.
The headmaster Yuan Qi knocked on the door and came in, holding a jade invitation in his hand.
"Elder, the Minister of Rites of the Great Officials is here. Emperor Guangming will come to Baiyun Temple at noon tomorrow to ask for advice on Taoism."
Zhou Yi took out the lottery tube and used the small sky-cutting technique to predict, and the spiritual lottery fell to the ground.
Signed.
"The time has come!"
…
The next day.
The jade chariot, the multiplication vessel of Emperor Guangming, landed in Baiyun Temple.
Zhai Zhenren led his disciples to line up to welcome him. He entered the temple and discussed Taoism for several hours. Emperor Guangming was highly impressed by his health-preserving and longevity-extending effects.
Half a month later.
The imperial court decreed that Zhai Kang be canonized as the real psychic manifester, and he would be the head of the Immortal Pension Department, responsible for suppressing demons and ghosts in the thirty-six mansions.
Zhai Kang did not disappoint the court, and invited friends from all over the world, such as Yuan Qi, the hermit of Wushan Mountain, Wei Zhenren, the master of Queshi Mountain Cave, and many monks in the Qi Refining Period from three mountains and five mountains.
It has only been a year since the ancestral lineage was severed, and the aloof attitude of Master Ji Ji has not faded, and he is still a rare figure among the common people.
Recruiting three real people in a row, the Immortal Bureau suddenly became stronger and stronger, sending monks everywhere to kill the demons and monsters nourished by the spiritual energy.
Not long after the demon appears, its strength is weak. Even the fierce ghost formed by the resentful energy needs time to grow, and the monks of the sect can easily turn it into ashes by casting spells.
Under the deliberate promotion of the casual cultivator played by the disciples of the Earth Fire Palace, the reputation of Baiyun Temple spread throughout Yunzhou, and in the eyes of the people, it was an immortal who came to the world to save people in trouble.
…
Spirit Fire Hall.
Zhou Yi engraved the array patterns on the array plate.
Densely packed lines condensed into prohibitions, and after being inlaid with spiritual stones, they were activated with magic power. The formation's spiritual light flashed, and the palace that was originally more than ten feet in radius disappeared.
"A spiritual stone can shrink a radius of ten feet, which lasts for about three to five days."
At this time, Zhou Yi was in the palace that shrunk to the size of a mote of dust. His consciousness swept across the outside world and he faintly noticed the distortion of the void.
"The Danding Sect's mountain-protecting formation shrinks thousands of miles into the dust, and there are hundreds of thousands of other formations overlapping and blessing it, so there is no difference at all from the outside. It consumes too much, and the spiritual energy emitted by Jianmu cannot be sustained. At most, we can set up another layer of phantom formation."
"The impact is not that great. After a thousand years, no one in this world will understand the formation!"
Zhouyi must calculate accurately to maintain the triple consumption of cultivation, formation, and spiritual field. The sum total is exactly the same as Jianmu's spiritual energy.
The Taoist Fruit of Immortality is the core of the perpetual motion machine. Regardless of hundreds of thousands of years in the past, Zhou Yi can maintain his current cultivation. On the contrary, as Jianmu grows, more and more spiritual energy is emitted, and the scope of the formation becomes wider. .
"The Earth and Fire Palace has arranged the inheritance, and Pindao has finally settled the cause and effect."
"I heard that there are disciples who have joined the Immortal Bureau to guard a stable place. They have married ordinary women and will become local families in the future. I wonder if they will remember to bury them in the underground palace."
After living for a long time, what I have seen most is the changes in people's hearts. Zhou Yi has long been able to do this without forcing things.
If you don’t force yourself, there will be no worries!
Zhou Yi promoted the Dihuo Palace to join the Immortal Bureau, not only to settle the cause and effect, but also to use the disciples of the sect to eradicate demons and ghosts.
After all, the collapse of the ancestral vein is indirectly related to the Book of Changes. It accidentally caused such a huge disaster and caused demons to run rampant in the world. We should also save the common people within our capabilities.
This is also one of the reasons why Zhou Yi returned to Jiuzhou.
"Everything in the world is over. It's time to retreat and cultivate, lest you encounter some old monster who goes crazy and kills indiscriminately, and ends up in vain!"
"There is an old friend who I must meet before going into seclusion. When I come out of seclusion, the world will have changed forever..."
Thinking of this, Zhou Yi used the Transformation Technique to turn into a white-haired old man, and flew to the southeast of Qianjing with the escaping light.
…
Wanshou Mountain.
Tomb of Emperor Chongming.
Daqian was founded six hundred years ago and has already become orthodox. The royal tombs of the previous dynasties were covered with lush grass, and occasionally literati came to express their admiration.
As the light fell, Zhou Yi's consciousness swept across the mausoleum, without concealing the aura of the golden elixir.
Huang Yuniang floated out of the tomb, frowning slightly: "Fellow Taoist came to the door for no reason. I don't know why?"
The golden elixir ghost king's soul has condensed into substance.
Zhou Yi looked at the woman in front of him, who looked the same as she had hundreds of years ago, and was slightly touched.
"Pindao came here specifically to apologize. He arbitrarily entrusted the lives of fellow Taoists to Taoist Master Xuanxiao. He never intended to cause a huge disaster!"
"It turns out he is a descendant of my benefactor."
Huang Yuniang smiled and said: "There is no need for this. What my fellow Taoist did actually saved my life. With Senior Xuan Xiao's methods, it is only a matter of time before the Ghost King Sect is destroyed."
Zhou Yi nodded slightly and agreed with what Huang Yuniang said.
Xiao Tiezhu's luck is extremely strong. He may have inherited the ancient formation, or he may have directly obtained the treasure to break the formation. By then, one of the four major demonic sects will be destroyed.
"This poor Taoist only has thirty or fifty years of longevity left, and he has no disciples. Coming here this time will also end the cause and effect that has lasted for hundreds of years."
"I have the secret method of the Ghost King Sect in my hands..."
Huang Yuniang sensed the death energy in Zhou Yi's body and knew that what she said was true, so she said: "Fellow Taoist can turn to the ghost path. Even if the spiritual energy is cut off in the future, he can rely on the evil and yin energy to live longer."
"What's the use of lingering?"
"We monks are fighting for our lives against the will of heaven. How can we be greedy for life and afraid of death? We should face the catastrophe calmly when it comes!"
Zhou Yi bowed his hands and said goodbye, turning into light and disappearing into the sky.
