The three demons were just clowns. Yun Canghai and Jianzhen didn't take them to heart. Capturing them was just a piece of cake. Later, after questioning, Yun Canghai knew that they were people who had done many evil things and were full of evil. Although the three demons begged to
He spared their lives and expressed his willingness to submit, but since Yun Canghai knew their bad deeds, he naturally would not accept them. In the end, he wiped out their consciousness, and Yun Canghai trained their souls into shikigami, using
Later, when he arrived in Japan, he was given as a reward to his subordinates. The bodies of the three demons were picked out for useful places and used for refining weapons and elixirs. It can be said that everything was put to good use. This can be considered as the three demons deserved their punishment.
Of course, before obliterating the consciousness of the three demons, Yun Canghai had already used the soul-searching method to find out where their caves were and swept them all away, plus the magic weapons previously seized from the three demons and the piece of paper made of ten thousand years of seaweed.
The woven mats finally yielded some results. Akashi Yutoku was full of surprises this time. What was surprising was that the journey was not as calm as imagined, but was attacked by monsters and sea monsters. What was pleasant was that Master Yun Canghai was really a master.
Man, he surrendered these vicious-looking demons in a matter of seconds, and he received his teachings. Doesn’t that mean that he can be as powerful as him in the future? No, Akashi has virtue and dare not imagine that he is as powerful as Master Yun.
, as long as I can have 10% of his skills, I will be satisfied.
He is also an ambitious and capable person, otherwise he would not have been sent as the leader of the envoys to the Tang Dynasty. Especially after learning Onmyoji, his ambition grew day by day, and he wanted to return to Japan and make a career. However,
, He also knew that he could not survive alone and needed help. Naturally, he did not dare to recruit Yun Canghai and Jian Zhen because he did not have the strength. However, he paid attention to the people who came to Datang with him.
These people have all worked with him for many years and are familiar with each other, and he also has quite a reputation among this group of people. As long as he wins them over, shows them affection and reason, teaches them some Yin and Yang techniques, and spends some time,
Don't worry if they don't give in.
Just do it as soon as you think of it, so the days passed day by day with Yun Canghai going out to hunt for treasures to relax, Jianzhen meditating and practicing in the boat, and Akashi Youde going around to win people's hearts.
On this day, while Yun Canghai was still on the deck looking at the sea, Akashi Youde had the courage to come to it and cautiously asked: "Master Yun, I have a request. I wonder if you can agree to it?" "Huh?"
"Yun Canghai turned his head and looked directly at Akashi Youde, his gaze seemed to penetrate his soul. Cold sweat broke out all over Akashi Youde's body as soon as "Oh!", and he was trembling and did not dare to face Yun Canghai's face.
Eyes, but that sharp look just now was deeply engraved in his mind. What kind of eyes were those:
Those clear black and white eyes seemed to turn into a turbulent and boundless sea in an instant! And the blue sea returned to calm after the violence, and suddenly transformed into a blue sky, with clear blue sky and rolling clouds. One day later
, the night falls, the sky gradually changes into a vast starry sky, and the stars slide mysterious trajectories, interpreting something that is indescribable in words, and can only make people cry.
Only virtuous people know that this is the "Tao"). Suddenly, the earth turned upside down, the stars fell, the whole world roared and collapsed, and a gray mist enveloped the whole world. When the mist dissipated, only emptiness was left.
Bewildered and helpless.
Although it was only a moment, Akashi Yude felt as if tens of millions of years had passed, as if he had gone through several lives and reincarnations, and nothing could be said. At this time, Yun Canghai's leisurely words came to his ears.
"I already know your purpose of coming. You should go back and prepare. In addition to your companions, take the others on the boat with you." Akashi Youde was overjoyed, kowtowed to Yun Canghai several times, and hurriedly
Go and notify others.
It turns out that Akashi Youde wanted to ask Yun Canghai to allow him to pass on the Onmyoji to his subordinates, and finally be able to teach them personally. After all, this Onmyoji was passed down by Yun Canghai. Without its approval, Akashi Youde would not be able to
He dared to make the decision, and he knew that he was thousands of miles away from Yun Canghai's level. If Yun Canghai could teach them personally, even if he only taught them a few skills, it would be enough for them to use them throughout their lives. In this way, they would naturally
I will be extremely grateful to Akashi Yude who promoted all this, and will become his influence and be loyal to him in the future.
Yun Canghai used his mind-reading skills to learn all this from Akashi Yutoku's mind, and he couldn't help but secretly praise that the Japanese had some brains, but he was still too narrow-minded and only thought about his own interests. Yun Canghai was not stingy in the first place.
Otherwise, he would not have easily passed on the Onmyoji to Akashi Yutoku. Besides, this was a third-rate practice method, so it would not hurt even if it was learned by others. What he thought of was that he could take this opportunity to teach these few people
Ten people conducted a staged sermon.
Cultivation is not just about practicing hard behind closed doors. It is just about laying the foundation and practicing theory. After completing the foundation and theory, you must combine theory with practice to make Taoism more practical and correct; in order to find out your own
In order to overcome defects and shortcomings, to perfect the Taoism and improve the realm, practitioners throughout the ages have found various methods. Some go to the mortal world to experience and hone their mental state; some challenge practitioners from all walks of life to improve their strength; some reincarnate and reincarnate in the world.
There are many ways to repair the irreparable flaws committed in your early years in the next life, and preaching is a very good way.
You must know that preaching is not only about telling others the Tao that you have understood, but also sorting out your own understanding of "Tao" in the process, and explaining some of your past unresolved, confused, and half-understood problems to others.
Telling your own understanding to others and then giving an answer can be said to be a process of improving yourself.
In this process, not only others, but also yourself will benefit. This is why there are many masters throughout the ages who like to preach everywhere. Even Jianzhen, as long as he is not in retreat or too busy, he will travel around every year to serve all sentient beings.
Explaining Buddhism is not only to expand his influence. It is also a kind of practice to save all sentient beings.
But Yun Canghai doesn't have this opportunity. Firstly, the reason is: his true identity is a dragon! This cannot be easily known to others. Otherwise, if he wants to "subjugate demons and eliminate demons", he will peel off its tendons and skin and take out the contents.
There are definitely many people who can collect the soul of Dan. You must know that dragon's body is full of treasures! Therefore, before he has absolute strength, he will never be too ostentatious. Although his strength is already very strong, but
There’s no need to ask for trouble, right?
Second, the reason is: His apparent identity is just a relative of Jianzhen. He does not have such a high reputation as Jianzhen. Even if he wants to preach, not many people will pay attention to him, so he is too lazy to preach in China.
Taoism is such a thankless task. You must know that the more people who listen to preaching, the greater the benefits. Don’t you know, in ancient times, those gods, saints, and Buddhas would gather thousands of people for one sermon.
Do you want to listen?
However, this time he was going overseas, and the only one around him who knew his true identity, Jianzhen, would not harm him, and Akashi Yude had exactly this meaning, so Yun Canghai's mind started to work. He was also preparing to go overseas.
If you want to do something big, preaching is the best way to expand your influence, so I decided to practice it during this period to avoid making a fool of myself when I actually have to preach to thousands of people, so I agreed without hesitation.
Akashi is virtuous.
However, Akashi Yude's mind was still too narrow-minded and only considered him and his subordinates. However, Yun Canghai thought that it was a sermon anyway, so everyone might as well listen. He also wanted to solve some of his own problems from this sermon.
, so even Jian Zhen was invited by him to listen to the lecture.
By the time Akashi Yutoku had prepared everything, it was already the second day. There was a crowd of people sitting cross-legged on the deck in darkness, including members of the Japanese envoy to the Tang Dynasty, and the monks from Dayun Temple who came with Jianzhen and Yun Canghai.
Even the sailors who sailed the ship, the cooks who cooked, the cleaners, and the servants who served the people were all here. Men and women, old and young, the total number of people on the several ships was more than 200. Now these people were led by Jianzhen and Akashi.
Under the virtuous management, no one dared to make loud noises. The knowledgeable monks and Akashi's virtuous subordinates just paid it back, but the servants didn't know why and just whispered below.
There was a wooden bed in front of everyone. It was simple and not old, with an orange futon placed on it, which looked very simple. Suddenly, a ball of green air fell from the sky and landed directly on the wooden bed. The green air dissipated.
, Yun Canghai's figure was revealed. At this time, Yun Canghai was different from his usual dress. He was wearing a green Taoist robe, a crown of Qingyang on his head, holding a three-foot fly whisk, with a calm expression, sitting cross-legged on the futon, and he glanced at everyone
In a circle, no one dared to look at him except Jianzhen. He held a whisk in his hand, nodded lightly to Jianzhen, sang a Taoist chant, and started talking.
"Tao can be said, but it is not Tao. It can be named, but it is not named. Nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth; it is named the mother of all things. Therefore, there is always no desire to observe its wonders; there is always desire to observe its beauty. These two,
They have the same origin but different names, and they are both called xuan. Mysteries are both mysterious and mysterious, and they are the door to all mysteries. They are in harmony with each other, but they may not be full when used. The abyss is like the origin of all things; dampen its sharpness and resolve its confusion; harmonize with its light and share it with others.
Dust; it seems to exist if it is pure. I don’t know whose son it is, the ancestor of Emperor Xiang. The immortality of the Grain God is called Xuan Ni. The gate of Xuan Ni is called the root of heaven and earth. If it exists, it will be used infrequently."
"The five colors make one blind; the five tones make one deaf; the five tastes make one's mouth refreshed; galloping and hunting make one's heart go crazy; rare goods hinder one's movement. This is how the sage governs. It is his belly but not his eyes, so he goes to get this from others.
Those who were good at practicing Taoism in ancient times had subtle and profound knowledge that was difficult to discern. I couldn’t recognize it, so I had a strong appearance: He looked like he was wading through the river in winter; he looked like he was afraid of his neighbors; he looked like a guest; he looked confused.
If it is clear, if it is calm, it will be simple; if it is broad, it will be like a valley; if it is muddy, it will be turbid; who can stop the turbidity; if it is quiet, how can it be peaceful for a long time; if it is slow, how can it be peaceful for a long time; if it is slow, it is like a valley; if it is muddy, it is like turbidity.
The husband is not full, so he can cover up and recover."
"To the extreme of emptiness, keep stillness and sincerity. All things are working together, and I will observe their restoration. Things are like a cloud, and each one returns to its roots. Returning to the root is called tranquility, and tranquility is called restoration of life. Returning to life is called constant, and knowing the constant is called Ming. Ignoring the constant is delusional, and delusion is
To commit evil, you should know your appearance, and your appearance is Gong. Gong is Quan, Quan is Heaven, Heaven is Dao, Dao is Long, and you will not be in danger if you lose your body."
"The appearance of Confucius is based on Tao. Tao is a thing, but it is trance. It is trance, and there is an image in it; it is trance, and there is something in it. It is slim and dark, and there is essence in it; its essence It's so true, there is faith in it. From now on and from ancient times, its name has not been changed, so as to read the celebrities. How can I know the status of the celebrities? There is a mixture of things, born in advance of heaven and earth. It is lonely, independent and does not change, Zhou If you walk without dying, you can be the mother of heaven and earth. I don't know its name, so the word "Qiang" is called Tao, and the name of "Qiang" is "Da". "Da" means passing, "passing" means far, and far means "reverse". Therefore, Dao is big, the sky is big, and the earth is big. The king is also great. There are four great powers in the domain, and humans live in one of them. The king follows the earth, follows the heaven, follows the road, and follows nature."
"The great road is vast, and it can be left or right. All things rely on it to live and cannot be named; success is achieved without being named. Clothing and covering all things, but not being the master; then there is no desire, and it can be named small. All things return to it, But if you don’t know the Lord, you will always have no name, but you can call it great. This is why the saint can become great, but he can become great because he is not great. Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. Negate the yin and embrace the yang, and inject the qi into harmony."
"The Way of Heaven is like a bow and bow. Those who are high suppress it, and those who are low lift it. Those who have excess damage it, and those who have deficiencies make up for it. The way of Heaven is to make up for the deficiencies when there is excess. This is not the case with the way of man. It is not enough to serve the rest. Who can sacrifice the rest to serve the world? Only the Taoist. Therefore, it is impossible to live in a saint, and it is impossible to live in a successful person. If this is the case, one does not want to see the virtuous. Faith and words are not beautiful, beautiful Words are not believed. A good person does not argue, but a good arguer is not good. A knowledgeable person is not knowledgeable, and a knowledgeable person does not know. A sage has no accumulation. If he thinks of others, he will have more; if he gives to others, he will have more. Therefore, the way of heaven is beneficial but not Harm; the way of man is to fight for nothing."
When Yun Canghai opened his mouth, he did not explain any Taoism. Instead, he selected a few passages from the "Tao Te Ching" and spoke them once. After each passage, he would pause for a while and frown, as if he was thinking about something. And here. During the process, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of ten miles seemed to be attracted by something, and they gathered towards the big ship where Yun Canghai was, and formed a cloud of five colors above his head. As his sermon deepened, the spiritual energy became stronger and stronger, and later , every time he speaks a word, a piece of golden ceiling will fall from the five-color cloud. This golden ceiling is made of the extremely rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Whoever it falls on, it will add one year of cultivation to him out of thin air.
Those who heard it all fell into a strange state when Yun Canghai spoke the first sentence. There was nothing else in their minds but Yun Canghai preaching on the futon and the moral mantra he preached. Even the golden ceiling falling from the sky later turned a blind eye, and everyone's reaction was different. Some smiled and felt ecstatic when they heard it; some had tears in their eyes with excitement and trembled all over; some remembered scratching their ears and cheeks, clenching their teeth. Biting; various expressions, and so on. Even Jianzhen nodded repeatedly when he heard it, and often showed an expression of enlightenment, obviously he had gained a lot.
Yun Canghai gradually got better and better, the pauses in his sermons became less and less, and his face became more and more comfortable. Gradually, the scope of his lectures was not only concentrated on the "Tao Te Ching", but also began to talk about Buddha, Tao, and Confucianism, Legalism, Mohism and other major schools expanded. As the time of his lectures went by, Yun Canghai's body also began to emit light of different colors, first the colors of the five elements of blue, white, red, black and yellow, then gold, Silver, blue, purple, etc. are infinite lights and countless colors. Finally, all the lights form a circle shaped like glass, shining with various colors, floating on the sea of clouds.
Time passed quickly. When Yun Canghai stopped talking, all the phenomena disappeared one by one, and the glazed aperture also introduced Yun Canghai's head, forming a shallow flesh-colored mark on his forehead. Everyone also woke up one after another,
Yun Canghai looked at the celestial phenomena and couldn't help but be very surprised. This sermon actually lasted for nine days and nine nights!
Of course, due to the replenishment of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth during the sermon, no one felt hungry. Instead, they all begged Yun Canghai to preach for them next time. Yun Canghai seemed very talkative this time and agreed on the spot with a smile. This was also because Yun Canghai
Canghai was in a good mood at this time, because the harvest from this sermon was really great.
