Chapter 80 The right way, the side door, the left way
The banquet continues and guests arrive one after another.
In the garden, Liu Hongyi talked about the marriage between the Lu family and the Ye family.
After hearing this, Patriarch Jin couldn't help but laugh: "Ye Xue, is this girl really a blind person?"
"Ancestor, do we want to take care of it?"
Liu Hongyi asked.
"No need!" Patriarch Jin said: "It's a childish thing, so we don't need to get involved. Tell the outside world that I will give a sermon in half an hour."
"ah!"
Liu Hongyi was pleasantly surprised and went down to inform everyone.
My ancestor has been preaching a bit frequently lately, but this is a good thing.
…
Half an hour later, in the square, many monks were sitting cross-legged on the ground, waiting quietly and orderly.
Even those who are arrogant and domineering are as quiet as sheep.
They are sorted according to their level of cultivation.
The Zifu monks were in the front, the Foundation-Building monks were second, and the Qi-training monks were at the end. They were all neat and quiet.
A gust of breeze flickered. Patriarch Jin was sitting on the high platform, looking down at everyone, and said: "This time, I will tell you about the methods of the righteous way, the methods of the side sect, and the techniques of the left way."
"The right way is to prove the way. Nine levels of Qi training polish the foundation, nine levels of foundation building expand the Dantian, nine levels of purple mansion strengthen the soul, experience three disasters and nine difficulties before you can feel at ease, and seek a flawless golden elixir. A golden elixir swallows
Once it enters the abdomen, from now on my destiny is determined by me and not by heaven. This is the supreme righteous path and the bright road to becoming an immortal."
"Weapon refining, elixir refining, talisman making, formations, etc., are all side sect methods. Side sect methods can make money to support the family and improve combat effectiveness, but they cannot lead to immortality, so they are side sect methods."
"Raising poison, refining corpses, controlling ghosts, seizing bodies, puppets, blood channels, curses, etc. are all heretical techniques that can improve combat effectiveness. However, there will be karma attached to them. Heaven hates ghosts and ghosts hate them. Heaven will inevitably send thunder disasters to give them.
Destruction. In ancient times, there was a sect called Jie Jiao. Ten thousand immortals came to the court. There were many disciples and many people with high cultivation levels. However, the disciples of the sect practiced too many heretical techniques and were burdened with karma. They were eventually destroyed by the Chan Jiao.
"
"It seems that the teachings are intercepted and destroyed by the teachings, but in fact they are destroyed by the way of heaven. If the way of heaven wants to destroy you, who can survive?"
Patriarch Jin spoke, talking about his understanding of the righteous path, the side path, and the left path.
Every word is precious and every sentence is mysterious.
On the surface it talks about the differences between the three, but in reality it talks about the way forward for monks.
The method of the righteous path has extremely high requirements for qualifications, understanding, resources, Taoist heart, etc., and is suitable for talented people.
Side methods have lower requirements for qualifications and understanding and are suitable for ordinary geniuses.
Leftist techniques are suitable for losers.
As Lu Xuanji listened, he suddenly felt enlightened.
"I have poor qualifications and average understanding. I can only find the right path by following heretical methods!"
If you have extraordinary qualifications and outstanding talents, you can follow the great road and the bright road to seek immortality.
But if you are not qualified enough to take the right path, you will have to follow the sideways path.
Complete the initial accumulation with the help of heretical ways, and strive to enter the golden elixir before your lifespan is exhausted. After entering the golden elixir, you can try to abandon the heretical ways and take the right path.
This is called putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha immediately.
After a while, Patriarch Jin finished his sermon and asked: "Do you have any questions?"
A Qi-training monk was the first to speak: "Ancestor, is it really difficult for Five Spiritual Root monks to build a foundation?"
At this moment when the monk asked, everyone present was angry, especially the few Zifu monks.
The monk from Zifu hasn't spoken yet, so what does it mean if you do?
Patriarch Jin nodded and waved his hands, indicating that everyone should not blame him, but asked: "What do you call my little fellow Taoist?"
"Junior, Ning Bufan!"
The Qi Practitioner said respectfully.
"A monk should be upright and upright. If you are afraid, your future will be limited after all. You have no fear in your heart, but you are a good talent for cultivating immortality."
Patriarch Jin opened his mouth and praised.
Countless monks have different expressions.
There was surprise, envy, and jealousy in the eyes.
I was surprised that Patriarch Jin, who had always been indifferent, would praise a junior.
"To reach the ninth level of qi training, it takes ten to twenty years for the Tianling Root, twenty to thirty years for the Second Spiritual Root, forty to fifty years for the Third Spiritual Root, and eighty years for the Fourth Spiritual Root.
To reach one hundred years, the Five Spiritual Roots will take at least two hundred years...but the lifespan of the Qi training period is less than 120 years. With the Five Spiritual Roots and the Four Spiritual Roots, it is difficult to build a foundation without a great opportunity."
"After building the foundation, it takes only forty years to cultivate to the ninth level of foundation building. The heavenly spirit root only takes forty years, the second spiritual root takes one hundred years, the third spiritual root takes two hundred years, the fourth spiritual root takes four hundred years, and the fifth spiritual root takes one
Thousands of years. But the lifespan of a foundation-building monk is only two hundred and forty years. Let’s not talk about five spiritual roots and four spiritual roots. With three spiritual roots, the probability of becoming a Zifu is only one in ten."
Listening to these data, many monks suddenly felt enlightened.
Patriarch Jin spoke and said: "You asked me if the Five Spiritual Roots can become a foundation, and I said... yes!"
Ning Bufan looked excited.
Ancestor Jin continued: "As long as your father is the Nascent Soul Lord, as long as he is willing to spend a lot of effort, even if he has poor Five Spiritual Root qualifications, he can become a monk in the Purple Mansion."
Ning Bufan only left a wry smile.
Ancestor Jin continued: "There is another way. When you encounter a cliff when you go out, just jump off. You may get the treasure of your predecessor in the next moment. If you don't break your leg, then continue looking for the cliff and continue jumping off.
As long as you get a chance encounter, the Five Spiritual Roots can also become the Patriarch of the Golden Pill, the True Monarch of Nascent Soul, and attain enlightenment and become an immortal."
Everyone couldn't bear it anymore and burst out laughing.
Let everyone laugh, and when everyone had laughed enough, Patriarch Jin said: "On the road of cultivation, the first thing is qualifications. As long as the spiritual root is good, the future will be bright. If the qualifications are not good, there will be a good one."
Dad, with a top-notch background, you can become a strong man. If your qualifications and background are not good enough, then you need luck and chance encounters."
"Every Zifu monk has adventures and opportunities. As for those Jindan monks, the opportunities and adventures they have will only be more and greater. Just by practicing hard in seclusion and farming at home, they want to become
Golden elixir, or even Nascent Soul, is almost impossible!"
As everyone listened, the atmosphere became a bit depressing.
Patriarch Jin said: "Little fellow Taoist, you only have five spiritual roots and your future is limited, but don't despair. If you want to achieve something, there are two ways to go. One is to learn a skill and rely on this skill to accumulate spiritual stones. For example, a certain person
Some people have weak spiritual roots and poor qualifications, but he is a third-grade spiritual cultivator who can ripen elixirs and speed up the growth of elixirs. I am willing to spend a lot of money to let him become a monk in the Zifu!"
"One is to walk outside more, you may encounter adventures and change your destiny."
Ning Bufan bowed and said, "Thank you, ancestor, for your advice."
After this person retreated, monks asked questions one after another, and Patriarch Jin all responded.
After a while, a monk asked: "May I ask my ancestor, is the devil's way the right way?"
