"The third sermon begins." Taoist Hongjun didn't waste any time. He began to lecture on the Tao. Mengmeng's Taoist sound began to fill the Zixiao Palace. Many people with great supernatural powers calmed down, gathered their spirits, and understood the Tao.
However, the Taoist Taoist Hongjun said this time is not trivial. It is the Tao of a saint. It involves the practice after the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm. It is really difficult and obscure. Except for a few people, most people cannot understand it.
I mean, confused.
Many people are unwilling to give up and try to memorize by force, but they get nothing. Once you understand the secrets of the great road, you understand them. If you don't understand, then memorizing by rote is of no use. These people are doomed to fail.
There are also many smart people who see that the teachings taught by Taoist Hongjun are obscure and difficult to understand, so they simply stop listening and immerse themselves in a treasured place of cultivation like Zixiao Palace, either to gain insights into supernatural powers or to refine their magic power.
Take the time to practice. Zixiao Palace is the Taoist dojo. One day of practice here is probably worth years outside. This kind of opportunity does not come often.
There are only a few people who can slightly understand the way of saints.
Pangu Sanqing had the merit of opening the heaven, and could be said to be a born saint. Although it was impossible to understand all the teachings taught by Taoist Hongjun, he listened to six or seven points and gained a lot. The aura around his body was mysterious and his realm rose.
Nuwa also has wisdom. Although the listening was a bit difficult, she was very relaxed and listened to 40 to 50%. Next came the Western Jie Yin and Zhunti. After all, these two people are not members of the Taoist sect and will establish a separate sect in the future.
, so I have a lot of understanding of Hongjun Avenue, and after listening to about 30% to 40%, Jie Yin's face became more and more painful, but Zhunti was sometimes furious, sometimes happy, and his expression was unpredictable.
In addition, Di Jun Taiyi, Fu Xi Kunpeng, Zhen Yuanzi, Ming He and others also listened to some points. Although they were not as good as the first few people, they were much better than most people.
Of course, among everyone, Taiyuan should have gained the most. His own realm was extremely high, and he once opened up a world and took charge of a way of heaven. Although his world of heaven and earth is not comparable to the great world, it is infinitely close to the level of the great world.
, there may be a huge transformation at any time, and there is a jade disk of creation in his body, but he listens to the Taoist Taoist Hongjun with great interest. The jade disk of creation emits a hazy light of Taoism and countless mysterious laws in the world inside his body.
With constant changes, the entire jade dish becomes more primitive and mysterious.
In a daze, no one knew how much time had passed, Taoist Hongjun's sermon suddenly stopped, and everyone opened their eyes, feeling very depressed. However, they did not dare to show any disrespect in front of Taoist Hongjun.
"I am a poor Taoist who teaches and transforms sentient beings. This last sermon is equivalent to the number of three thousand years. There is still some time left. If you have any questions, you can ask them."
Daozu Hongjun's tone became more and more indifferent, his eyes were dark and devoid of any human emotion, and just one look at him was frightening.
Lao Tzu was the first to speak: "May I ask the teacher, what is Tao?"
"The Tao follows nature, and everything in the world is the Tao." Ancestor Hongjun said indifferently.
"Dare to ask the teacher, what is a saint?"
Yuanshi Tianzun saluted solemnly and then asked.
"The sage does nothing, and teaches without saying anything. All things are done without hesitation, born without being, done without relying on, and success is not lived. If you don't live, you won't go. Heaven and earth are not kind, and treat all things as stupid dogs.
"The saint is unkind and treats the common people as stupid dogs. Therefore, the saint does nothing, so he has no defeat; he has no persistence, so he has no failure. Under the saint, all are ants!" Hongjun Daozu's words are deafening and enlightening, especially the last sentence, the saint's words
They were all ants, which made everyone feel cold, and then their eyes became blazing.
Seeing Taoist Hongjun's words fall, Taoist Tongtian asked hurriedly: "Teacher, how do you become a saint?"
Everyone was paying attention, this was what they wanted to know the most.
"There are three roads to becoming a saint. One is to prove the Tao with force and open up the world, or to understand the essence of opening the world. This is to prove the Tao with force. Opening up the ancient world is the holy way. The other is to kill three corpses to prove the Tao.
It is impossible to prove the origin without great magic power. It is just that people in the world are inevitably selfish. There are always actions that go against the will of heaven, so there must be disaster. After beheading the three corpses, Tao Xing entered the incredible world.
The situation is not controlled by emotions and desires at all. It only respects the number of days and follows the way of nature. Therefore, it can seek good luck and avoid disasters. It obeys the number of days in its heart. Natural disasters cannot come, and it can accumulate magic power for countless kalpas and eventually become a chaos.
Yuanwuji Taishang Dao. This is the method of killing three corpses. The third is to become a saint through merit and virtue. If you have established supreme merit and deeds, and with the permission of heaven, you will become a saint naturally and will last for all eternity."
Taoist Hongjun talked about three methods of becoming a saint in succession. Everyone was excited and couldn't help themselves. People like them with great supernatural powers only want to achieve enlightenment by themselves. Apart from this, they can give up anything else.
How can I not be excited when I hear about the method of enlightenment?
But after being excited, his expression changed, and he proved the Tao with great force. There is no need to think too much about this. Among the people present, almost no one would consider this method of sanctification, just because the Great God Pangu used the way to open the sky to become a saint.
In the end, they failed and transformed into all things in the world. As for killing three corpses and achieving merit and enlightenment, they still had some hope.
"May I ask the teacher what method he uses to become a saint?"
Nuwa asked aloud.
"The poor Taoist killed the three corpses with the jade plate of good fortune, and then became a saint." At this time, Taoist Hongjun was getting closer to the way of heaven, and he was the most impartial and upright, so he naturally would not hide anything.
"May I ask the teacher, who can become a saint?"
Donghuang Taiyi was very determined to seek the truth. At this time, he said the key points as soon as he opened his mouth, which attracted everyone's attention.
"The poor Taoist palm creates the jade plate and teaches on behalf of heaven. How many disciples should I accept from among you, Li Er, Yuan Shi, and Tong Tian?" Taoist Hongjun did not answer Donghuang Taiyi's question, but talked about accepting disciples.
At this time, many people's mood suddenly sank.
When Sanqing heard Hongjun's call, he was overjoyed and hurriedly fell to the ground.
"You are transformed by Pangu Yuan Shen, you have the merits of opening up the heaven, and you have a master-disciple relationship with Pindao. Are you willing to worship Pindao as your teacher?"
Sanqing looked overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Disciple pays homage to the teacher."
Hongjun waved his hand slightly, and Sanqing stood up and sat in his seat. He was so excited that he couldn't calm down for a while.
"Nu Wa, you have a meritorious deed to do in the future. You can be a disciple of a poor Taoist. Are you willing?"
Nuwa was so surprised that she hurriedly bowed down and called her teacher.
After accepting four disciples in a row, Hongjun remained silent.
At this time, Jieyin and Zhunti were anxious, because the disciples that Taoist Hongjun had just accepted were all on the purple futon at the front of Zixiao Palace, and now they were the only two left.
How could they not be anxious?
Zhunti was the shrewdest one. He immediately prostrated himself on the ground and said mournfully: "I hope the Taoist ancestors will take pity on us and accept our brothers as disciples, so that we can educate all sentient beings in the West with the good Tao."
Although Hui Yin said nothing, he prostrated himself on the ground and looked pleading.
When Taoist Hongjun saw this, he sighed slightly and said, "That's all. You and Pindao have only a limited relationship, so just become a registered disciple under Pindao." Although Zhunti and Jieyin had regrets, they could not become Taoist Hongjun.
disciples, but they finally became disciples of Hongjun Taoist ancestors. This alone satisfied them.
As a result, many monks in Zixiao Palace did not understand that the six futons in front were prepared by Taoist Hongjun for his disciples. Many people felt extremely regretful. If they had known this, they would have fought for it no matter what.
It took a while, but now everything is too late.
However, those who could come here to listen to the sermon were not ordinary people. Seeing that Jie Yin and Zhunti just begged for a while, Taoist Hongjun accepted them as registered disciples. Although they were not as good as the disciples who entered the house, they were not bad either.
How many, so they all fell to the ground and begged bitterly.
"Everyone, please get up. Your relationship with Pindao is shallow and you don't have the relationship between master and disciple. There is no need to force it."
When everyone heard this, their expressions were bitter, but they did not continue to argue.
But there was an accident in it. Taiyuan did not ask to become a disciple of Taoist Hongjun. His situation was different. There was the fragment of the jade dish of creation, which represented the one who had escaped. He knew that he would achieve greatness sooner or later, so naturally he would not go.
Forced to become a disciple of Taoist Hongjun.
However, he did not expect that Daozu Hongjun's eyes would fall on him, and he looked at him with a faint expression for a while, which made Taiyuan feel anxious and almost escape into his own world.
"Taiyuan, are you willing to join my Xuanmen and be of the same generation as the poor Taoist?"
As soon as Daozu said these words, Taiyuan was immediately surprised. He looked at Daozu Hongjun in disbelief, but saw that his expression was peaceful, which was very different from his previous indifferent and lofty attitude.
"Huh? This is Taoist Hongjun. Those just now are probably Hongjun from Heaven." Taiyuan was shocked and seemed to understand something. After thinking for a moment, he decided to agree.
He himself is a member of the Taoist sect, and he also practices the method of three corpses to prove the Taoism. Now that he has entered the Taoist sect, it is naturally nothing. Moreover, he is the same generation as Hongjun, which is even more subtle, but Taiyuan has a rough idea in his heart.
Understand, I am afraid that Hongjun already knew a lot of his flaws, so he made such a decision.
"The Taoist ancestors are so kind, and the poor Taoist has accepted it. From now on, he should protect Xuanmen and prevent the Taoism from being lost."
Taiyuan said with a solemn salute.
Taoist Hongjun smiled happily. Although he decided to conform to the way of heaven and become Hongjun of the way of heaven, Xuanmen was his Taoist lineage. Naturally, he couldn't let it go. Now that he saw Taiyuan agreeing, he felt relieved.
With a wave of his hand, there was a futon not far away from Daozu.
Taiyuan was not polite. He swayed and sat on the futon.
This scene shocked many of the great supernatural power practitioners present, and they were a little confused about Taiyuan's situation.
Even Pangu Sanqing and others were a little surprised. According to what Taoist Hongjun said, Taiyuan had become their uncle, which was no small matter.
However, Taoist Hongjun didn't care what everyone thought. He continued: "The poor Taoist will combine his body with Taoism. At that time, the saints of heaven and earth will come out to educate all living beings in the world. Li Er, Yuanshi, and Tongtian will be transformed by Pangu Yuanshen, and they will have great merits.
, you can become a saint, Nuwa will have some meritorious deeds to do in the future, you can also become a saint, guide and lead Zhunti, you two have great perseverance and great wisdom, in the future you should establish another side sect, you can also become a saint."
As he spoke, Taoist Hongjun waved his arm, and six streaks of faint purple energy fell on the six people. In a circle, they fell into the depths of several people's heavenly spirits.
"This is Hongmeng Purple Qi, which is the foundation of the great road. If you obtain it, you can become a saint. You must understand it carefully."
