Accompanied by Xiang Chun, Zhang Yu walked along the corridor behind the main hall until he came to Qishan Cave.
The Taoist surnamed Quan was waiting here at the moment. He seemed to have never left. When he saw the two of them, he saluted: "Zhang Xuanxiu, Senior Brother Xiang." Then he took a step back to let the entrance of the cave out.
Xiang Chun said: "Junior brother Zhang, I will accompany you here, and I won't go in."
Zhang Yu nodded, walked into the cave, and then walked along the passage to the front of Xuanshou Cave. Finally, he stepped forward and pushed, and the stone door slowly opened.
He straightened his robe and stepped inside.
This cave was the place where previous Xuanshou practiced. He remembered that the last time he came here, he met Xuanshou Qi Ao here, but this time, the place had become empty.
He walked up the gentle slope until he came to stand on a high cliff. There was a futon and a low table with the pen, ink, paper and inkstone he had used before, as if the original owner was still here just now.
He stood here and looked around, and saw a stone groove on the stone walls on both sides. The size of the groove was consistent with the height of the black jade.
He thought for a while, then walked to the place on the left first, took out the Xuanyu from his sleeve, and slowly pressed it up. After a while, he saw the wall move to the side silently, and the
A secret room.
He stepped into the secret room and found that the place was not big, only three or four steps away. There was a niche directly in front of him, with a jade seal the size of a fist placed on it. On the right hand side, there was a set of gold quilt racks.
The held up clothes and robes.
He looked at the robe and recognized it as Xuan Shou's attire, which was exactly the same as what he saw on Yan Zhang that day.
But looking at this one, it seems that it has never been worn by anyone before, and it looks more gorgeous. It should be just a dress.
He turned his eyes and came to the jade seal. He saw a gold-leaf seal book nearby. He picked it up and flipped through it. He saw that each page was stamped with a seal. There were four pages in total.
There is always a space left in the center of the main seal, and what is covered there is a personal seal.
Look at the names and surnames on it. From the first Xuan Shou to the next three Xuan Shou of the Dongting Protectorate, they were all stamped on it. Later, they also used notes to describe the specific years and months of their tenure. Judging from the handwriting
It seems that these were all written down by the later Xuanshou.
It can be seen from the above that the first Xuanshou should also be a temporary deputy, mainly using this status to help the two governors stabilize the situation in the East Court.
A year later, this person returned to his hometown to report on his duties. Then came the second Xuanshou, who could be regarded as the founder of Dongting Xuanfu. He also left after twenty years.
Next up is Yan Zhang, the third Xuanshou, and after Yan Zhang is Qi Ao.
He thought for a while, took out a red pen from the niche, and wrote on Qi Yu's seal the words "Ren Shi", from the 313th year of the Daxuan calendar to the 374th year of the DaXuan calendar.
.
Then he put down his pen and turned over the page where Qi Yi left it, revealing a new page in the chapter book.
He stretched out his hand to pick up the Xuanshou jade seal, put it up with his other hand, and placed it firmly on the chapter book. Then he took out his private seal and placed it on the empty space in the middle.
At this time, there was a slight light on the golden page, and a ray of light fell into the mysterious jade he was carrying.
Thoughtfully, he took out the mysterious jade, looked inside, and found that the seal appeared in it. He nodded unconsciously. In this way, when the seal of the mysterious head was not on his body, he could prove his identity.
After doing this, he put the gold-leaf chapter book and the seal back into their original places. If there was no accident, he would not touch these two things again. He would only wait until the next Xuanshou comes to take them again.
After walking around here again, he saw that there was nothing more, so he walked out from here, took the Xuan Jade, and the stone wall slowly closed, and then he came to the stone wall on the right again, still saying
Xuanyu opened the door, and unlike before, a downward step was revealed behind it.
He walked along this way, and after about thirty levels, he entered a spacious grotto. It could be seen that there were everlasting lamps burning on the surrounding walls, illuminating the entire grotto extremely brightly.
On the side to his right, there was a row of bookshelves filled with densely packed jade volumes.
He walked closer, took out a portion, looked at it, put it back, walked a few more steps, took out another portion and looked at it.
Judging from the year and label, this should be the most important document and Taoist record of the Xuan Xiu in Dongting Xuan Mansion in the past hundred years.
He looked through it and found that, in addition to those seniors from sixty years ago, the records of people of this generation, including Xiang Chun, Chen Song and others, were also placed here, as well as those who had turned to practice Hun Zhang.
There are also records of Ying Zhuan's previous practice in the mansion.
If he mastered these things, then the Xuanxiu in the mansion would have no secrets in front of him.
However, although he is Xuan Xiu now, he can only do it on behalf of Xuan Xiu. These things belong to the more secret parts of Xuan Xiu himself. He will not look through them unless necessary.
So he turned around and came to the other side of the grotto.
What is displayed here is a long wooden frame with a square grid, which contains a large number of cultivation experiences of predecessors.
He just flipped through it and found that most of it was from sixty years ago. After that, there were no new books.
And here, he unexpectedly discovered volumes of visualization pictures.
After looking at it, he realized that it was for those who had reached the realm of mystical cultivation and visualization. Regarding these, the consciousness hidden in the mysterious jade did not give any explanation.
However, these things are cultivation methods that monks can only use after reading Chapter 3. They are not taught in Xuan Palace. What is presented now is only the accumulation of Dongting Xuan Palace in the first forty years.
.
He couldn't help but become interested in this.
After entering the Chapter of Elucidation, he didn't know the direction of the road ahead. He originally thought he would have to know it after returning to his homeland, but he didn't expect that he could get a glimpse of the clues in advance here.
He took down a visualization picture that was placed on the outermost side and looked like it was frequently turned over. He took a look and saw that it was a "Spin Turtle Picture" with Xuan Shou Qi Ye's annotation underneath.
Jue nodded and thought: "It seems that Qi Xuanshou has seen this picture before."
Putting this back, he took out a visualization picture and opened it. This is a visualization picture of "Monkey" in the Mysterious Chapter. The figure resembles a human and an ape. At a glance, it seems to be able to follow the rules.
The gaze can jump into the mind.
This picture mainly focuses on the "mind" and "eye" seals, and minors on the "body" and "mouth" seals. Practitioners can make choices based on different levels of cultivation.
Although this is a visualization diagram that is both offensive and defensive, after successful practice, it is slightly lacking in the offensive aspect. On the contrary, if it is used to assist others in fighting, it can be regarded as an ideal helper.
In the process of reading, he gradually gained a concept of future practice through the annotations of those predecessors.
Xuanxiu in the first and second chapters is a process of building the foundation, and after observing the third chapter, everything needs to be integrated. Due to the complicated changes in this level of chapter, the seals
There are too many. Not only is it easy to go the wrong way, but it is also easy to distract your energy. Therefore, you need to find a core chapter to make a useful summary.
From then on, all seals were built around this core chapter.
Visualization diagrams are one of the most effective methods. They can help practitioners sort out their own seals and rules, and help them avoid going astray as much as possible.
It’s just that the visualization diagrams cannot be chosen casually. Except for some special visualization diagrams, they usually need to match the magical organs cultivated by the cultivators themselves.
And the magical organs are related to the Zhengyin that the monks practiced before, and the choice of Zhengyin was decided from the beginning, so it is the same line.
If you break down Xuan Xiu's lifelong cultivation path, each stage of cultivation seems to be relatively independent, but in fact they are closely related to subsequent cultivation.
The path the monk takes before him also determines the path the next chapter will take.
After Zhang Yu flipped through these visualization pictures one by one, he found that none of them were in line with his own path.
This is also expected.
At this time, he couldn't help but think about it. He had always thought that if he could get in touch with Tianxia, he would be able to find what he needed in the local area.
But be afraid of everything.
One is that sixty years have passed, and it’s hard to say what the situation is like on Tianxia’s side; secondly, his magical organs are after all shaped by the Seal of Ling Kong, and every magical organ shaped by the Seal of Ling Kong is unique.
, so you may not necessarily have a visualization diagram that suits you.
So, if you don’t have a visualization diagram, how should you go about your spiritual path?
He felt that he needed to take some time to think about this issue carefully.
He packed up the things here and walked out of the cave. Then he called Taoist Quan in and asked him to invite Xiang Chun and Chen Song.
Not long after waiting, Xiang and Chen arrived at the cave. They saw that Zhang Yu was sitting on the throne of Xuanshou with a solemn look on his face. They came up and saluted him and said, "Have you seen Xuan?"
head."
Zhang Yu also bowed and invited the two of them to sit down. He said, "I just said something that I didn't have time to say to the two senior brothers. The two senior brothers must have guessed that among the seals handed down by Yan Xuan's head, there are
I will print out the path leading to the third chapter of the Dharma and give it to a few senior brothers to practice."
