The light fell on the jade platform, and a soft mist of light suddenly dispersed. At the same time, a vague and ethereal sound came out, and the petals in the surrounding sea of flowers also slowly danced and flew with the mist.
Zhang Yu looked into the light and saw a Taoist figure sitting there, but apart from the outline of his body, his face could not be clearly seen.
This must be a deliberate cover-up by the other party, because if the merits are not enough, or if there is no seal granted by Xuan Ting to protect him, then looking directly at Xuan Zun, even if it is just the incarnation of Xuan Zun, may cause damage to the soul and mind.
The outer layer is different from the inner layer. It is difficult for Xuan Zun to devote all his power here for a long time, so he can only station himself in the Celestial City in the form of differentiated incarnations.
Not only Tianxia Xuanzun, but also the real bodies of those powerful evil gods are also hiding in the depths of the void and will not show up easily. Only some power will leak out from time to time.
The same is true for monks in Shangchentian. When they reach the level of Xuanzun, they hide in Shangchentian most of the time.
Therefore, most of those who are active outside and responsible for fighting are mostly middle- and low-level monks, descendants of evil gods and various aliens at this level.
The Taoist looked at everyone at this moment, but he paused for a moment on a few people, including Zhang Yu. After a while, he sat down in the clear light.
At this time, there was another chime sound, and a Taoist boy's voice came from above: "Fellow Taoist cultivators, please sit down."
When the monks standing on the stone platform in the lake heard this, they all bowed respectfully to the platform, and then sat down one by one.
Those monks who did not have a pedestal to sit on sat directly in the small boat carrying them.
On the outer edge, those disciples with weak skills were not qualified to go closer, so most of them could only stand on the edge of the lake and look at the platform in the distance.
However, as long as those who can see the Tanguang Dharma Altar can see the figure of the Taoist shrouded in light, even if they fail to understand the message later, their trip is not in vain.
Zhang Yu also sat down on the futon at this time. After a while, a loud clear voice seemed to come from a very far away place, but it seemed to be heard nearby again.
He found that the sound was like a rushing river, pouring into his mind and consciousness, making it impossible to distinguish what it was.
As soon as he thought about it, he understood that it was because Xuan Zun's words conveyed too many things, and he himself could not understand them all, so he heard these mighty sounds.
He must make a choice here. He obviously won't understand things that are too advanced, and there is no need to waste this opportunity to listen to some truths that he understands. What he wants to hear at this moment should be how to supplement his own practice, and
Find the way to the upper realm.
And with this thought, the turbulent and loud sound weakened and receded layer by layer, and the sounds floating in the ears gradually became clearer and clearer.
As he listened deeper, the surrounding external objects seemed to fade away, as if he was the only one sitting on the stone platform, while the void above was infinitely magnified.
At this moment, it seemed that only the Taoist shrouded in light and himself fell in this world.
He knew that this was due to the interaction of qi and movement, which caused the appearance of the heart to appear, so he just kept his mind calm and ignored these changes, but focused on listening to the Tao and Dharma spoken by Xuan Zun.
Because he had made a choice, what he heard at the moment was something he could understand.
He soon discovered that what this Xuanzun said was not about magical powers, but instructions on how to practice Taoism for monks.
This is only really useful for those who have reached a certain level of spiritual practice and are trying to find a way to achieve breakthroughs.
And these Taoist teachings are also very profound, and the Taoist books he has read in the past, namely those given by Zhu Xuanshou, can be slightly compared to them.
However, the Taoist books given to him by Zhu Xuanshou only had text and he needed to read them by himself, so everything in them needed to be slowly understood by him.
But this time listening to the Tao was different. He felt that his breathing was faintly turbulent with each sentence of the Tao. He could understand the subtleties of it while listening to the Tao.
This is also the benefit of coming here to listen to sermons. It is like a wise teacher can teach him anytime and anywhere, without him having to figure it out on his own.
As the sermons passed through him one by one, he gradually became immersed in them.
It seemed like an extremely long time had passed, but it seemed like a short moment. The sound had receded without knowing when. He was still sitting cross-legged on the stone platform, as if he was comprehending something.
Not just him, but many monks present were like this.
After a long time, he raised his head, and there was a flash of light in his eyes, and the energy in his body was faintly surging, but it was quickly extinguished, and he quickly covered it up with jade clothes.
He gained a lot from listening to the Tao, and his own Taoism took another step forward. With his cultivation at the moment, every step forward is a huge improvement.
But the biggest gain is no longer here.
This Yu Xuanzun is obviously a Xuanfa Xuanzun, but what he teaches is the purest Taoist practice.
Intentionally or unintentionally, there is actually a clue revealed in this, which shows that whether you really practice metaphysics or Taoism, they are extremely useful and even common in some aspects.
This also makes sense. After all, the Xuanfa lineage was originally separated from the True Fa, and it was only developed under the promotion of Xuan Ting.
And he was also thinking about what methods these senior Xuanxiu seniors, who had no path to follow, relied on to break through the barriers. It was obvious that they had pointed out the key to the younger generations.
This reminded him of the "Three Yuan Reunion" method in true cultivation.
He had considered this before when he was thinking about breaking through the realm, but this time he was exposed, it strengthened his thoughts even more.
It is said that if a monk's three yuan is full, he can seek the Dharma.
According to this theory, this is when a cultivator reaches the extreme level of his or her own practice, which triggers the transformation of spiritual energy and then reaches the upper realm.
But in reality it is not that simple, there must be some key to it.
Just as he was thinking about it, another long chime sound came from the stage, and then the voice of the Taoist boy from before came down: "The battle is over, and all the ways can return."
Zhang Yu looked over and saw that at some point, the Taoist figure in the light had disappeared. He had obviously left. He rolled up his sleeves and stood up from his seat.
Yu Ruiqing walked up to him at this moment and said: "I have finished listening to the sermon. Do you want to return with me, fellow Taoist?"
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said, "Fellow Taoist, just turn around first. I still have some things to do here."
Yu Ruiqing said, "That's fine. Fellow Taoist Zhang, I'll go ahead." After he raised his hand and saluted, he took Yue Luo on the small boat and drove back.
At this time, Jia An and others on the Tanguang stage came to their senses one after another after listening to the sermon.
The people near the water tower got the moon first. They were on the side of the stage, and they were Xuanzun's disciples. They had heard of some Taoist teachings, and now they had the Qi machine to guide them, so they got some benefits more or less.
The monk surnamed Xu asked in a low voice: "Brother, how much have you understood?"
Jia Andong pondered for a moment and said: "I just understand a little bit," he was not lying, his energy was indeed slightly improved than before.
The monk surnamed Xu sighed: "I have listened to it for so long, but I feel that I have not made much progress."
He felt like he could understand those scriptures, but he just didn't feel like they had much push for him.
In fact, he still gained something. Most monks just feel that they heard some Taoist scriptures and seemed to understand them, but when they look back, they actually gained nothing.
Jia Andong looked around at the fellow disciples who were close to him and felt that their energy had limited improvement. He said: "I have told you before that you should pay more attention to your daily practice and don't waste your time on refining the divine essence.
After all, the elements are numbered, but the practice is endless."
Everyone said yes.
The monk surnamed Xu said in a low voice at this time: "Senior brother, the teacher's wife was just around the corner. I can't say anything. Just now we went to invite those two people in person. We don't show mercy to them. I wonder what senior brother thinks?"
Jia Antong glanced at him and said, "I don't have much idea. It's because they have no connection with Taoism, and they are the ones who suffer."
The monk surnamed Xu said: "But they always refuted our face..."
Jia Andong glared at him and warned him: "Junior brother, don't have any evil thoughts. Although the teacher is tolerant to us, he will never allow us to do anything that violates the law. Don't rely on your status."
If a teacher or disciple does something excessive and something happens, let alone the teacher, I will never tolerate you."
The monk surnamed Xu said: "Senior brother, don't worry, I won't go here to do such things, but what if other senior brothers also go to invite them?"
Jia Antong glanced at him and understood what he was thinking. He was also moved for a moment, but the practice just now was effective after all. His mind was still clear and he immediately suppressed these thoughts. He said in a deep voice
: "I told you, don't be too troublesome."
Seeing that he persisted and looked extremely serious, the monk surnamed Xu said angrily: "I understand, senior brother."
After Yu Ruiqing left, Zhang Yu took a boat to Tanguang Terrace in the middle of the lake. He had one more thing to do at this moment, and the boundary happened to be located here.
When he stepped from the small boat to the big platform, he suddenly felt that someone was looking at him. He turned his eyes and didn't pay attention. After checking the direction, he walked to one side along the road covered with petals.
Soon he came to a tall stone gate, where an old monk was guarding. Seeing him coming, he slapped his head and said, "Fellow Taoist, can you use the talisman?"
Zhang Yuyi raised his hand and took out the jade talisman given to him by Counselor Tang of the Military Affairs Department. This was also a reward for killing the evil god's true spirit.
The old Taoist looked behind him and lowered his head to get out of the way. The stone door also rumbled up, revealing a slightly deep staircase.
Zhang Yu took one look, waved his sleeves, and walked inside.
At this time, on the stage, the monk surnamed Xu was about to return to Tiancheng, but a disciple came over and said: "Uncle Master, of the two people you asked me to pay attention to, I just saw one of them leaving, but one of them is
Went under the stage."
The monk named Xu's expression changed and he said: "Oh? Where have you been? It's interesting." His mind changed and he thought: "If I were there, I could try to teach him a lesson, and it's hard for my senior brother to say I'm wrong.
