Chapter 22: Qi training, foundation building, void return, and Tao integration
Ten days later.
Zhang Bingdao's turmoil has gradually passed.
On the other hand, Zhang Heng also used the efficacy of Bodhi Seed to memorize more than twenty Taoist books given to him by Master Xu.
Of course, it's just memorizing by rote without asking for a deeper understanding.
But even this made Xu Zhenren extremely surprised and said: "Bodhisattva, I didn't expect that there is such a thing left in the world. You are really a good opportunity."
"You must know that since Liu Bowen slayed the dragon, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has been increasingly dissipated for hundreds of years. Not to mention our Maoshan, even the Longhu Mountain that has been passed down for two thousand years is probably gone."
Xu Zhenren was overjoyed to learn the reasons for Zhang Heng's rapid progress.
He was happy, not because of Zhang Heng's rapid progress, but because his disciples were so blessed.
The law of heaven brings wealth to the earth, and fate comes first.
Zhang Henglian was able to get his hands on a treasure like this that had not been seen in a hundred years. With such opportunity and luck, doesn't it mean that he chose the right disciple?
"After memorizing the Taoist classics and Maoshan Secret Manual, the next step is to apply what you have learned and understand it thoroughly."
"At this point, it's not enough to just pick up others' wisdom. You also have to think, think, and incorporate your own understanding. Only in this way can you excel."
Xu Zhenren took advantage of his interest and called Zhang Heng into the secret practice room. He took out a wooden box from under the futon with great care and said: "Inside the box is my Maoshan disciple's main training method, the Shangqing Dadong Sutra. This sutra contains subtle meanings.
It is the foundation of all Dharma in Maoshan. Go and kneel down at the statue of the Patriarch, and I will receive ordination and teach Dharma for you."
Zhang Heng knelt down obediently.
After entering Maoshan for the first time and burning his name cards, he was admitted to the gate of Maoshan and was awarded the rank of Ninth Rank Taishang, the Third and Fifth Capital.
This is the starting point and the first step of the true path, and is called the subject.
Once you have the rank, you will have the preliminary method of opening the altar and the right to invite gods to control ghosts.
Without rank, you are a wild Taoist priest. It is difficult to invite gods, and people will not care about you at all.
Taoist priests with high grades are different. Take the Sanshan Fulu Sect as an example. The sect behind it has huge power. There are many ancestors who have become immortals and ancestors. The gods and Buddhas in the sky also need to give some face.
The so-called "Three Mountains and One Qi" means that the three mountains and one family are connected by the same Qi.
On the Taoist map, Longhushan Zhang Tianshi, Maoshan Sanmao Zhenjun, and Gezaoshan Ge Tianshi are all in the same camp.
There are also Celestial Master Talismans in Maoshan, and you can also invite God to the lower world. Disciples of the three religions are all regarded as brothers, and they are an alliance of the same interests. This creates a monopoly and a deep-rooted tree.
In this way, if a disciple opens an altar to invite gods, the gods will be happy to send down spiritual light and form a good relationship.
"Zhang Heng, the 70th generation disciple of Maoshan, is familiar with Taoist classics, respects his teachers, is honest and kind..."
Xu Zhenren brought a basin of water and put it on the incense table. He first kneaded the incantations and recited the incantation, and then lit incense and burned the sacrificial inscription: "I respectfully invite the ancestral court to accept the secret pot of the North Pole Demon-Suppressing God's Curse of the Eighth Grade Taishang. I am a disciple of the 69th generation and a third-grade Zhenren."
Yours sincerely, Xu You."
Wow!!
The phantom of the cave heaven and blessed land is reflected in the water basin.
When I saw it, three old men were sitting cross-legged under the Taoist script with the word 'Mao'. One of them felt something and slowly opened his eyes: "But..."
The person who spoke was one of the three palaces of Maoshan, the master of Yuanfu Wanning Palace, Yuanfu Zhenren, who was in charge of the Maoshan Dharma Seal.
This real person is a first-class real person.
With the master of Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace and the master of Maoshan, Jiuxiao Zhenren.
The master of the Chongxi Longevity Palace, the real person of Chongxi in Maoshan, is also known as the Three Elders of Maoshan.
"Get up."
After the ceremony was completed, Xu Zhenren called Zhang Heng up and warned: "When you have mastered the magic power, you will reach the level of refining Qi, which is the Qi refining realm. Going up, you will refine Qi and transform into God. This level
The difficulty is to transform the mind and build the foundation. If it is completed, it will be the foundation building state."
"Further up, practicing the spirit to return to the void is the returning to the void realm, and practicing the void to combine with the Tao is the combined Tao realm. Of course, these are still too far away for you."
"Ever since Liu Bowen slayed the dragon, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth collapsed, and there has not been a cultivator at the level of cultivating the spirit and returning to the void for hundreds of years."
"Furthermore, the masters of the sect have inferred that as time goes by, the concentration of spiritual energy will become lower. After a hundred years, it is impossible to say that all the cave heaven and paradise will dissipate, let alone practicing the gods and returning to the void. Even Taoist priests who can cultivate magic power will probably be very few. Feng Jue
There is no monk left in heaven and earth."
Forehead...
Zhang Heng was speechless for a moment.
Did he want to tell Zhenren Xu that in less than a hundred years and fifty years, a great man would stand on the city gate and sweep three times to sweep away all ghosts, ghosts, and snakes, and suppress the spiritual energy of heaven and earth again with the power of a true dragon?
At this point, the Seal of Heaven and Earth has been strengthened again, and the monks and Taoists have almost become liars and businessmen.
"Master, you and my uncle are called real people, so your cultivation should be pretty good, right?"
Zhang Heng couldn't help but ask.
"Zhenzhen is an honorific title, which refers to a person with the Tao. It does not mean a distinction between realms."
"As for cultivation, your uncle and I are both refining Qi and transforming into gods, forging Dao foundations. We are also the best among a group of brothers. After all, many of the brothers who went down the mountain with us are still here.
The later stage of Qi refining, or the initial foundation of Taoism."
Xu Zhenren had a look of pride on his face.
But this is normal.
Master Xu and Master Qian are the core disciples of Maoshan True Successor and Qingshen lineage.
There is a high probability that in the future, one of the two will take over the legal lineage of the Qingshen lineage and become the master of the Qingshen Temple in the Three Palaces and Sixth Hall. Farther away, there is even the possibility of settling in the Three Palaces and becoming the Three Elders of Maoshan.
"Master, let's talk about what happened on the mountain."
Zhang Heng was very interested in Maoshan's strength because he already knew through insinuations that the senior brother of Fu Lu's lineage in this generation was named Shi Jian.
If there is Shi Jian, there must be Jiu Shu.
With Jiu Shu, there are naturally Taoist Priests Four Eyes, Taoist Qianhe, Master Yixiu, Master Ren, and Ren Tingting.
"You want to know?"
Thinking that Zhang Heng was making rapid progress and was about to practice qi, Xu Zhenren felt that it was time to open his eyes, so he said: "My six meridians of Maoshan are divided into talismans, inviting gods, exorcising corpses, refining elixirs, astrological divination, and Feng Shui. Famous for its physiognomy, each branch has a main hall on Maoshan Mountain, which is also the origin of the sixth of the three palaces and six palaces."
"The most famous one in the Fulu lineage is your master Bo Shijian."
"Senior Brother Shi is gifted with extraordinary talents. He has the body of the Five Innate Thunders. He has practiced the Lightning Thunder Fist of the Maoshan Sect. No one has mastered it for hundreds of years. His punches are like lightning and are astonishingly lethal. He is destined to be the headmaster of the Fulu Sect and the Sixth Hall of the Palace. One of the Lords.”
Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Shi Jian was the future headmaster of Fulu Sect and one of the masters of the Sixth Hall. I'm afraid it was really not possible.
Lin Fengjiao is the destiny of Uncle Jiu in Ren's town. If the plot remains unchanged, Uncle Jiu, who is not favored by others at the moment, will kill Shi Jian who has fallen into the evil way in the future and take charge of the Fulu lineage.
"There is no need to say more about the Qingshen lineage. Your master uncle and I are the most powerful. The future master of the Qingshen Temple will be either me or your master uncle."
"In the corpse exorcism sect, the most outstanding one of this generation is your Uncle Yimei. He is known as Yimei Taoist and his strength is equal to mine."
"In the alchemy lineage, the most powerful one is Mao Xiaofang from Ganquan Town. I believe you have heard of the saying "Nan Mao Bei Ma".
"In the astrological divination lineage, the most powerful person of this generation is your Senior Uncle Lin Zhenying. He is also the highest cultivated among the sixty-nine generations of disciples. He is higher than your Senior Uncle Shi Jian. His cultivation level is on par with the three palace masters. For the later stage of foundation building.”
Zhang Heng's eyes lit up and he thought of who this Lin Zhenying was: "Leyin Zombie, Taoist Priest Lin Zhenying!"
The movie Musical Zombie should be one of the most powerful zombie movies.
Lin Zhenying is a master who is proficient in Maoshan's number of pulses, including talismans, inviting gods, exorcising corpses, refining elixirs, astrological divination, and Feng Shui.
Finally, he created his own Tengu Moon Eclipse Thunder Formation, which killed all the musical zombies that could compete with flying zombies, flying in the sky and escaping from the ground, and opening fire to the secluded world.
"As for the last line of Feng Shui physiognomy, it is Lin Yingjiu, the Taoist Priest of Exorcism in Jiuquan Town."
When Xu Zhenren said this, he paused: "Although our Maoshan Mountain is not like Longhu Mountain, where one surname is passed down alone, the Lin surname is also the common surname in our Maoshan sect, and heroes have appeared from generation to generation."
"In addition, Senior Brother Shi Jian, Mao Xiaofang, Taoist Yimei, Exorcist Taoist Lin Yingjiu, and Star Reaching Taoist Lin Zhenying, these five people, plus your uncle and me, are collectively known as the Seven Sons of Maoshan by the other two mountains."
