After the golden elixir is formed, whether it is a person in the immortal way or a person in the martial arts, the moment the elixir is completed, it is more or less favored by heaven and earth. It can be said that the upper body is heavenly and the lower is earthly power.
According to various Taoist books, if a Golden elixir Taoist violates the power of heaven and earth too much during the Golden elixir stage, he will be despised by heaven and earth when he breaks the elixir and forms a baby, making it difficult to pass the test.
Heaven and earth would never allow such a great disaster to continue to exist in the world for thousands of years, or even live forever.
Therefore, for Jindan Taoist masters, swearing with the Taoist heart and using heaven and earth as witnesses is quite bluffing compared to Taoists before the elixir formation.
But the effect of swearing by heaven and earth is only that.
After all, what exactly is Tianxin, what is the power of the earth, and whether killing is in line with Tianxin or not is inconsistent with Tianxin. There are different opinions in various Taoist books, and there is no specific guideline.
What's more important is that throughout the ages, there have often been some demons and demons who have extreme evil ways and can break the elixir to form a baby and become a person of immortality.
They kill people like hemp, eat meat and drink blood, even in order to live forever, they can destroy a country and lay down millions of corpses. According to ordinary people's understanding, they will probably be rejected by heaven and earth. However, they still practice Taoism and practice law. This is normal.
, live forever and feel at ease.
But Xu Dao had been thinking about these things before, and he discovered that these evil demons in the eyes of the world, no matter how extreme and violent their methods, are all top-notch people in the world, and each has his own pride and loyalty.
To put it in more vulgar terms, if someone says they want to kill the whole family, they will kill the whole family. They will not let anyone go, and they will never go against what they say.
Therefore, Xu Dao started based on this, secretly asked some of the disciples in Jinou Hall, and gradually sorted out the code of conduct of a Jindan Taoist.
This principle is very simple, and each has its own rules, that is, "Don't deceive yourself and others."
As a Golden Elixir Taoist, whether it's killing people or grabbing treasures, everyone who becomes a Golden Elixir has his or her own perseverance and determination.
As for his practice in the golden elixir stage, he must not let this anger vent, especially he must not deceive himself. Otherwise, after hundreds of years or nearly a thousand years of suffering, there is a high probability that he will lose himself and become a martial artist.
, the puppet of mana.
Especially for Taoist masters with demon bodies and golden elixirs who follow the bloodline path. Whether they are humans or beasts at the beginning, after entering into practice, they will evolve into another major species based on the spiritual roots they planted.
It is easy for people to have extreme and inhuman temperaments.
As he told himself, when he planted the spiritual root of Mirage's bloodline, he almost fell into inhuman feelings and almost lost himself.
It was because of his persistence and later by chance that he understood how to maintain the Taoist heart and completely stabilized himself.
For Jindan Taoist masters, not deceiving themselves and understanding what they really are is a major threshold and a big help in their pursuit of immortality.
Once you casually break your own rules, you can betray your century-old principles for money today, and temporarily suppress your original intention for magic power tomorrow. In this way, the golden elixir Taoist master may lose himself day by day, until in the end he has no idea at all.
What exactly is oneself?
It is very likely that after hundreds or thousands of years, the life span has not yet ended, and the cultivation level is still improving, but his consciousness and thinking are on the verge of collapse, and he will either fall into a demon, or he will self-disgust the world and commit suicide with a knife, and it will be over.
In short, whether it is Xu Dao or other Xihai Jindan, any Taoist master who can achieve Jindan actually has a code of conduct in his heart. It is this set of rules that maintains the major Jindan Taoist masters.
of reason.
The more pure the Taoist cultivator is, the more pure his heart is and the less desires he has, the more peaceful his mind is and the less extreme he is.
If this set of rules is easily broken, let alone how heaven and earth will treat the Jindan Taoist. During the daily practice, the Jindan Taoist may have evil thoughts and go crazy.
Just a thought that doesn't make sense can make them kill themselves and commit evil.
And this set of principles, taken together, is the Taoist heart of all the major Jindan Taoists.
When Xu Dao realized these things before, he was shocked on the spot.
Because he had never thought about the lifespan of a Jindan Taoist master, which is close to a thousand years. The length of this lifespan is a test for those who practice Taoism, because the short-lived mind cannot support such a long time at all.
A Taoist must understand a little bit of his original intention before he can control such a long lifespan, and then control the huge magic power, instead of becoming a ghost guard and a puppet of the magic power.
Fortunately, Xu Dao had already clearly understood the principles of his Taoist heart during the foundation-building stage, and he had always treated it with caution, and did not destroy his original intention because of external things.
And only then did Xu Dao understand why the orthodox Taoist books during the Shengtang Dynasty would always instruct Taoists to abide by their original intentions and never be partial.
Practice traditions, large and small, often have their own set of precepts and rules for introspection.
These precepts are not only to prevent the disciples from committing evil deeds and causing death, but also to allow the disciples to develop good habits as much as possible, so that they can understand the Tao as early as possible and avoid self-destruction in cultivating the Tao.
In the underground palace.
Xu Dao saw that the three golden elixir Taoists opposite him were silent for a long time. He immediately understood the things about the Taoist mind. What he understood was not false, and the three old guys opposite him also knew this.
So he chuckled and said, "How about it? What do the three Taoist priests think about it?"
After hearing this, the three Snapping Turtle Taoist Masters looked at each other. Even the Owl Bird Taoist Master, the most extreme among them, had serious eyes.
They were silent for several more breaths, and then the Taoist Taoist Snapping Turtle among them came out, got fat and said: "Taoist Master Xu's conditions are not very harsh. If the three brothers and I are willing to admit defeat, it should be okay."
"However, Daoist Master Xu must also swear by his Taoist heart not to take advantage of the flattery of the three of us to deliberately murder the lives of my three brothers. After the work is completed, he must also help my three brothers enter the depths of the underground palace again. When the time comes,
,Every opportunity comes to you!"
Faced with the request from Snapping Turtle Taoist Master and others, Xu Dao had already expected it. He immediately nodded, raised his palms and said:
"Can."
Seeing Xu Dao, he is willing to swear by his Taoist heart, especially since Xu Dao is a person who has formed a first-grade golden elixir and has great potential to conceive a baby. Ninety-nine percent of Xu Dao will not use his own Taoism to talk nonsense.
After some words, the atmosphere between the two parties suddenly improved a lot.
Seeing that the other party had agreed, Xu Dao immediately urged the three of them to swear quickly and stop trying to be cunning.
Because of Xu Dao's urging, the three snapping turtle Taoist masters had no time to discuss too much, so they could only bite the bullet, bow to the sky and the earth, and drink one after another:
"Today, a certain snapping turtle is willing to admit defeat in the bet. I am willing to treat Taoist Master Xu as the master of the sea market. He must obey orders and do not dare to disobey. If you violate this oath, your Taoist heart will definitely collapse, fall into a demonic obstacle, and the Nascent Soul will not be achieved..."
An impassioned oath was uttered first by Taoist Taoist Snapping Turtle, making the two parties seem to be brothers of life and death.
But when Xu Dao heard this, he was a little dissatisfied. After the Taoist Snapping Turtle finished his oath, he immediately said, "Friend Snapping Turtle, wait a minute. The 'Lord of the Sea City' in this oath is
Please also adjust it to the 'Lord of the Sea Alliance', and please state in the oath who is the master and who is the slave."
When the Taoist Snapping Turtle heard this, his eyes suddenly showed a trace of resentment. He said apologetically: "The turtle is confused. Our three brothers are used to saying 'Hai Shi', but they forgot that they are now 'Sea League'"
."
It apologized without any trace, and then obeyed Xu Dao's suggestion and spoke again.
But when Master Snapping Turtle finished speaking, Xu Dao stretched out his hand to stop him, asking him to carefully adjust the words of the oath in his mouth.
When the Taoist Snapping Turtle finally swore the poisonous oath, a few drops of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. I wonder if he was frightened by the serious consequences of the poisonous oath he swore.
When Taoist Master Baihu and Taoist Owl Bird tried to copy the words of Taoist Snapping Turtle, Xu Dao made another suggestion, asking the other two to slightly adjust the oath according to their own circumstances.
After doing this several times, the four of them faced each other, and it actually took them about an hour to finalize the link of Daoxin's oath.
You Bing stood behind Xu Dao and watched, also surprised by this scene, and kept secretly sending messages to Xu Dao, asking him why he was in such trouble.
Fortunately, after Xu Dao explained it to her in detail, You Bing showed a look of enlightenment and understanding, and stood aside with peace of mind, waiting patiently.
In the end, the three snapping turtle Taoist masters, who had been tortured by Xu Dao Haosheng, also began to find fault with the vocabulary Xu Dao swore about.
However, Xu Dao had the upper hand. He only had to insist on one point: "I will not send the three people to death on purpose, and I will not harm the three people." Everything else can be negotiated, and there is no chance for Snapping Turtle and others to interfere too much.
After each made a poisonous oath, the two sides settled down and the atmosphere became more peaceful. Xu Dao also descended from mid-air and no longer looked down at each other coldly.
The three Taoist masters, Snapping Turtle, did not need Xu Dao to greet him, but they all respectfully saluted Xu Dao:
"I've met Taoist Xu."
The snapping turtle Taoist among them even flattered and shouted: "See the leader!" After it finished shouting, it also shouted to You Bing: "The turtle has seen the leader of the White Bone Temple."
You Bing was immediately surprised when she faced the three Snapping Turtle Taoist masters who had made the oath to the Taoist Heart. She even felt that the three of them were a bit arrogant and respectful, and they all lacked the dignity of the Golden elixir Taoist masters.
Fortunately, You Bing had little connection with the other three, so she nodded in return and continued to stand quietly beside Xu Dao.
Xu Dao stood in front of Snapping Turtle, White Tiger, and Owl Bird Taoist Master. He talked and laughed freely, accepted the flattery of the other three people one by one, and continued to paint each other's cake:
"This underground palace is really magical. It's a pity that it didn't take long for the poor Taoist to first understand the skills on the copper pillars, so it is difficult to continue to penetrate into the evil spirit. After the big thing is resolved, I will definitely help the three Taoists to find out!"
Xu Dao also said calmly: "Since Pindao has become the leader of your alliance today, if he achieves immortality and corrects the Nascent Soul Realm in the future, he will not forget the three brothers. We are rich and noble, so don't forget each other!"
Not to mention, when the Taoist snapping turtles and others heard Xu Dao's rhetoric, their hearts moved violently. The feeling of embarrassment that they had just been forced to admit that Xu Dao was the master immediately disappeared.
Because the three of them all reacted: "Hey! Since Taoist Xu can practice the techniques on the blue dragon copper pillar, doesn't it mean that he is born with the three brothers and us? And if he wants to explore the underground palace in the future, he must also
I need help waiting for you."
"Daozhang Xu is a first-grade golden elixir that is rare in the world. The chance of conceiving a baby and immortality is 90%! It will be beneficial and harmless for us to be brothers with him now!"
Whether it was Taoist Snapping Turtle, White Tiger, or Owl Bird, they all realized that it was a stupid thing for them and others to make enemies of Xu Dao, and they secretly sweated for their former selves.
However, the three Snapping Turtle Taoist Masters deliberately ignored that Xu Dao had forced them to make the oath today. Xu Dao had not given anything at all except promising some innocuous things.
On the contrary, the three of them have an alliance leader above their heads, and Baili Fucha has almost been cut off and reduced to thugs.
Of course, the three of them believed that the Sea Alliance Formation could not do without them. Even if they gave up the Baili Fucha verbally and nominally, the Fucha was actually still in their hands, and each of them enjoyed a part of it.
During the chat, Taoist Master Snapping Turtle also sighed: "If the master of Qianlong Pavilion back then could be as easy to talk to as Taoist Xu, four brothers and I would have formed an alliance with Taoist Xu today."
Xu Dao and the other party were pretending to be cowardly. When they heard these words, they immediately burst into laughter.
But he immediately understood why these three old guys would join forces to harm the master of Qianlong Pavilion and Taoist Jin Ou, but the three of them have always been harmonious among themselves.
Xu Dao thought to himself: "It seems that after these three people formed the elixir, they should have sworn to each other with their Taoist hearts. Unless it was a life and death crisis, they would never break the oath easily. And the master of the Qianlong Pavilion has never been able to form the elixir.
Dan, even if you swear it, is not very effective and is not trusted by the three of you."
After the greetings were completed, Xu Dao saw that the deception was almost complete, so he took the initiative to invite his hand and said:
"Today we have turned the war into friendship, why not have a drink and win? Let's go back to the Golden Ou Hall on this road."
Taoist Snapping Turtle and others immediately nodded in agreement: "Good!"
"Just follow what Taoist Master Xu said."
Xu Daochong nodded to You Bing beside him.
Immediately, five streams of light appeared in the underground palace and flew in the same direction. The stream of light spiraled upward along the huge green dragon copper pillar and completely left the underground palace.
In the cold and cold Fucha Underground Palace, deathly silence returned once again, and there was no movement. Only the broken bones where the five people were standing just now proved that the five people had just been there.
But on the top of Baili Floating Sea, the empty Golden Ou Hall soon became more magnificent and brightly lit than ever before.
Groups of kabuki and dancers, as well as Taoist priests from all walks of life on White Bone Island, entered the hall one after another, listened to Taoist speeches in clear tones, and received various awards.
