Chapter 136 Three Refuges, Three Laws and Nine Precepts
Chapter 136 Three Refuges, Three Rules and Nine Precepts, Perfect Concentration! (13)
"The rule I have set is to look at your conduct before receiving the burial, whether you obey the three refuges, the three laws, the nine precepts, and make the twelve great aspirations."
The three refuges refer to the Taoist Master's Treasure and Taking Refuge to the Great Way, which is the first criterion for practicing Taoism.
The first criterion for selecting people is to have a heart for the great road. If you put wealth and wealth first, it would be like the disciples of Chang Jing, a Taoist priest in Laoshan.
The scriptures are Taoist classics, homework, etc. Song Lin will add some classics for self-cultivation and sect rules in the future.
Needless to say, teachers, teachers and gods all belong to the category of teachers.
This is the first criterion for entering the Tao.
Not only Taoist priests, but also Taoist boys have made this decision.
In addition to the three refuges, there are also the three laws.
"Do not pretend to be the mind of heaven for your own mind; do not deceive and confuse sentient beings; do not show yourself as a saint in the world and claim to be God."
From now on, there are nine precepts: to be diligent, to be respectful, to be cautious in killing, not to be sexually immoral, not to steal, not to be angry, not to be deceitful, not to be arrogant, and to be non-dual.
These are all commandments that Song Lin copied from his previous life, and modified one of them. Originally it was to stop killing, but changed it to kill with caution.
It is impossible to stop killing in this world.
There are many evil spirits and bad people, so you can't rely on influence.
And it's not entirely based on the real world.
Externally, external demons still need to increase their efforts.
It does not limit the strength of the monks. On the contrary, it cultivates their character so that they can concentrate on the Tao.
Changes should be made according to the situation of this world, mainly internal discipline, external killing and decisiveness, and cultivating a sect that no longer suffers from internal friction.
The power of mind does not lie in doing whatever you want, anyone can do whatever you want, even animals can do it.
What's more important is to restrain your desires.
Song Lin climbed up from the bottom and was used to seeing too many insidious and cunning Taoist priests bullying and killing the lower levels without any bottom line.
The alchemy room is bound to die within five years, the boy who collects herbs in the warehouse has less than half left in three years, and the Yin-Yang Altar is prone to death.
Many things can be avoided, but they are squeezed layer by layer, and the upper management does not value human life, thinking that the lives of ordinary Taoists are not as important as a few Dharma coins.
This is exactly the result of not knowing restraint and being obsessed with doing whatever you want.
Having power but not controlling it, relying more and more on power, robbing and killing at every turn.
Zi Yuan and Master Tongtian are both such people.
In the final analysis, all the chaos in the Taoist sect still does not pay attention to the character of the mind, and most of the power is used for internal friction.
"Starting from Taoist boys, to senior Taoist boys in the future, and to Taoist priests, they must abide by the Three Refuges, Three Rules and Nine Precepts."
As for the twelve higher ambitions, Song Lin thinks it is best after he calms down.
However, Ding Shen's Shou Lu is not under his control, and he can only worry about it later.
"Also, in the future, the Taoist temple will be moved to the back mountain and no practice will be allowed in the city. The Taoist temple in the city is only suitable for people who go down the mountain to handle business, and some Taoist temples will be opened. The central main hall can be used by people to come in and offer incense and worship."
There is no clear distinction between monks and mortals. They come and go all day long and display their magical powers in front of mortals. Over time, they will develop a sense of pride and complacency in their hearts.
When many mortals see this scene, their first impression of the monks is just to enjoy the glory and wealth. The people who come in also have the same mentality. From the root, they become like this, and the mortals in the future will not be much better.
The free Taoist temple hall was used to worship the emperor's seal in the temple, and the people's strength was used to share part of it.
In addition, there are a series of measures.
Regarding the treatment of Taoist children and the pension issues of old and disabled Taoist children.
If an old Taoist boy is proficient in water magic, he will be sent to the village to serve as a resident Taoist priest. He can use water magic to treat people's diseases, expel evil spirits, etc., which will enhance the prestige of the Taoist temple.
Or be put as a steward in a farm or shop.
Hearing Song Lin's words, the Taoist boys were overjoyed. Song Lin was their savior.
From now on, you no longer have to worry about life danger.
"Long live the patron!!"
Although other Taoist priests did not understand Song Lin's high prestige and thought of the series of turmoil in the Taoist temple in recent years, they could accept it.
"In short, it is no longer time to do whatever you want in the future. Taoist priests who violate the precepts will also be punished."
"Finally, the Metropolitan Government will add a supervisory task."
After Song Lin completed the arrangements, he immediately asked everyone to continue rebuilding, and at the same time asked Lin Qing to arrange for some people to go to the mountain to build a Taoist temple.
From now on, I will cut off the mortal world and concentrate on practicing.
Of course, the Taoist temple's fields and shops cannot be abandoned, these things must be retained to generate income.
The next few days.
With the construction of tens of thousands of soldiers, not only the Taoist temple was rebuilt, but also most of the nearby people's houses were rebuilt. During this period, the Taoist temple opened warehouses to release grain, which promoted the incense of the Temple of the Emperor Seal.
The altar temple has become the belief in the hearts of hundreds of thousands of people around it.
On the other side, Corpse Yinhua is still in retreat.
This guy cultivates innate corpse qi, which belongs to the second grade of true qi.
After he comes out of isolation, Song Lin will grant him the first position and take over most of the power on his behalf.
Song Lin is not a person who loves power. The reason why he wants to climb up step by step is just to gain great freedom.
…
On the top of the mountain, inside the newly built secret room.
Song Lin sat cross-legged, with the golden black sun pattern between his eyebrows shining brightly.
The burning innate pure Yang energy bathes the soul.
The soul above his head became clearer and clearer, like an entity.
The realm of refining gods has passed 80%.
According to the current progress, it will take no more than a year to complete the divine refining and enter the realm of foundation building and breakthrough.
But it's still too slow.
The demon's advance battle failed, and based on previous years, a more violent counterattack followed.
so……
Song Lin stopped his work, stood up, and looked out the window.
Whoosh!
The figure turned into a ray of light and disappeared in an instant.
With the blessing of pure Yang Qi, the flying speed became much faster.
The scenery on both sides of the Taiwan Strait is rapidly retreating.
When the strong wind blows onto the body's zhenqi shield, the shield blocks it and does not blow up any clothing.
While flying, think at the same time.
In the next period of time, the most important thing is to increase your cultivation, master the story, and safely survive the Dragon Abyss Conference.
The long-term goal is simple, which is to keep climbing up in this world, become a Taoist Celestial Master, and gain freedom and ease.
The master of the temple has a little more freedom, but there are many superiors and many things are out of his control.
In addition, there is the mysterious prayer meeting and the future Dragon Casting at Fengtai.
Every time there is a general election, there must be overt and covert fighting.
There are also various Dharma gatherings and fights against demons.
In general, only by relying on the Taoism of the story world and continuously strengthening one's own strength can one gain a firm foothold in this world.
Soon, Song Lin came to Meishan Jungle and went to the depths of the jungle to visit Huo Yun.
A red-browed Taoist with a temperament like a volcano erupting and extremely mentally aggressive stood on the edge of the mountain.
This mountain peak is located in the center of the city. It was photographed from the sky by Taoist Huoyun using his great magical power.
"Taoist Priest, I plan to enter Meishan Paradise to practice for a while." Song Lin went directly to the topic.
One of the benefits of being a meditator is that you have the opportunity to enter the blessed land for practice three times a year, for ten days each time.
Meishan Blessed Land is a time-space blessed land, with one day outside and ten days inside.
In other words, Song Lin can enjoy 300 days more practice time per year than others.
"Okay, let's improve our cultivation now. But before that, I plan to hold a meeting first. Please stay a few more days."
The meeting was very brief and was roughly divided into six war zones.
Taoist priest Huo Yun led Sandu to the Meishan War Zone.
Xuanke Temple, Five Ghost Temple, Zhenyao Temple, Fuji Temple and the hall leader He Luo form the central theater.
It is divided into various places, each led by a senior person and obeying the command.
After the meeting, the hall leader summoned everyone to the side hall.
The hall master is a man with a gloomy temperament.
The facial skin is so pale that blood vessels can be seen, and there are faint black lines like scales, and the eyes are like green vertical pupils.
Just looking at people with their eyes can make people feel like they are being stared at by an ancient ferocious beast.
"Ahem, everyone should know me, right? Please introduce each other."
Others, Song Lin, knew that this was the first time they met the White Tiger Temple Master of Fuji Temple.
The hall master looked at everyone with bright eyes.
"In short, the next Zhaijiao is extremely dangerous. Everyone must obey the order and not hide anything. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
"yes!"
"Your name is Song Lin? Mr. Donghua?" He Luo looked Song Lin up and down and said, "A little worse than Jiuyou. I advise you to hold back your nerves. There is no shortage of geniuses in Taoism. The most people who die in the Longyuan Conference are geniuses."
As one of the three major temple masters, Song Lin is called Mr. Donghua, or the altar master, by the people in the jungle.
He can be considered a person with a name.
"I've been taught a lesson." Song Lin was neither humble nor arrogant.
He Luo nodded slightly. Song Lin's attitude was quite good. He was not as arrogant as he imagined, so he smiled and said:
"Don't be nervous. I like to call myself brothers. You and I will be companions of life and death in the future. We are all brothers. Don't be too alienated. Would you like to have something to eat?"
"No, I have to go to Meishan Paradise for retreat."
"Retreat?" He Luo thought for a while and said, "Time waits for no one. You can retreat for up to twenty days. After twenty days, you must come to the True Demon Temple. The demon will come soon."
Twenty days?
Twenty years in the story world takes about two hundred and forty days.
Less than twenty days have passed now.
Originally, if we were inside Meishan Paradise, we should be able to pass easily.
Now only twenty days are given, which is not enough at all.
However, this situation could not be explained clearly. Song Lin thought about it and finally agreed.
Two hundred days should be enough for you to become a god.
Thinking of this, Song Lin no longer delayed, immediately said goodbye to everyone, and found Taoist Master Huoyun.
"Taoist Master, I'm ready."
"good!"
Taoist Priest Huoyun flipped his wrist, and a miniature palace burning with flames appeared in his palm.
This is the Taoist Fire Palace.
Above the magic weapon is the spiritual weapon, and above the spiritual weapon is the Taoist weapon.
Taoist tools are magical tools with a hint of Taoist charm, which have more magical effects.
"go in!"
Wow!
Song Lin was sucked in by a suction force.
After a while, things became clear in front of me.
We came to the familiar Meishan Mountain again.
There are mansions on the mountain.
The doors of some mansions are closed, with signs indicating someone is there.
Song Lin also saw a figure, a white-headed boy.
"Eh? Song Lin? Why are you here?" That person was Hua Qing, and he greeted Song Lin immediately when he saw him.
"Retreat in seclusion, and I'm almost done refining my soul."
"I'm about the same. I've been here for a year and a half."
"That's it." Song Lin couldn't help but sigh, it's good to have a good master.
Meishan Blessed Land is not accessible to casual visitors.
Each additional person consumes more heaven and earth energy, and the quota is fixed at ten people.
If Hua Qing hadn't been Huo Yun's disciple, how could he have stayed so long.
"No more talking. Let's talk after we get out of seclusion."
"good!"
The two of them went back to retreat.
Within the mansion, there are all the facilities for practicing martial arts, refining weapons, and refining elixirs.
Song Lin took out the materials for Dragon Subduing Pill and Fuhu Pill.
In two hundred days, and with the help of elixirs, the god should be able to be completely refined.
Time passed gradually.
Song Lin was practicing divine refining in addition to alchemy, occasionally taking time to return to the story world to deal with matters, and then quickly returned to reality.
The body surface is shrouded in golden light, and the emperor's true energy flourishes.
The golden light and silver light shine together, which is both contradictory and harmonious.
The days passed day by day.
This day, boom!
Thunder arose in the empty room, and the scorching sun shone brightly.
