"For the cultivation of talismans, the root sutra can only help you walk a certain distance and bring you in.
How far you can go on this road and what kind of scenery you see, ultimately depends on you.
For example, now that you have been awarded the fifth-level talisman, and you have understood the 'True Martial Treasures' from the "Xuantian God's Golden Code and Jade Rules", starting from the fifth level, there is nothing for you to continue to practice and continue to use as a reference.
The basic experience has passed.
The "Xuantian God's Golden Rules" can only help you so far.
The road ahead depends on how you walk."
The strong horse pulled the cart forward slowly. On the cart, the real Chilong crossed his legs and spoke slowly to Su Wu.
He kept the "Buddha's Truth of Mahamudra" firmly in his heart, and then taught Su Wu and began to guide Su Wu's talisman practice.
After hearing the words of Master Chilong, Su Wu frowned slightly and said: "Without the support of the 'Road Sutra', it is difficult to know clearly the purpose of one's own practice and how to be promoted to a talisman. How can one be clear about the future?"
What’s the way to go?”
He vaguely felt that what the 'Red Dragon Master' said was contrary to some of the situations he had witnessed during his witchcraft days in Maoshan.
For example, several teachers of the Xuan generation: Xuanqing, Xuanzhao, Xuanjue, and Xuanbi, the lowest are fourth- and fifth-level talismans.
From the perspective of talisman class,
Xuanzhao's talisman is already close to Chilong Zhenren's 'Second Order High Divine Sky, Three Elements and Three Officials Auxiliary Transformation Sutra', but as long as you compare the respective strengths of Chilong Zhenren and Xuanzhao, you can find that
It wasn't just the first-level talisman that Xuanzhao missed Chilong Zhenren?
The strength of the two is simply incomparable!
In fact, Xuan Zhao's strength is much weaker than that of his two senior brothers, Xuan Qing and Xuan Jue, who are below him in Fu Lu grade.
——If Xuan Zhao was promoted to a talisman, it was all based on his own understanding, and thus took a wider and longer path, his strength should not be seriously inconsistent with the talisman he was awarded.
Xuan Zhao himself mentioned to Su Wu that his talisman was promoted because he was senior enough and lived long enough.
It can be seen that,
This 'talisman promotion and teaching after the fifth level' is not just about enlightening yourself and opening up a new path on your own.
Even that ‘Mr. Tian Centi’ should have a talisman rank of level four or higher.
But the strength he exerted - this person does not have much real strength, he is something that can be dismissed casually by Xuan Zhao Lao Dao - even so, this Mr. Tian Centi is still a fourth-level or above talisman.
Could it be that his talisman was obtained by his own understanding and opening up a new path?
I'm afraid that's not the case!
"As long as you are practicing, everyone has their own thoughts and purposes.
How can someone practice without a purpose?" Master Chilong sneered. Seeing Su Wu looking at him with doubts, he cleared his throat and continued, "For a disciple like you, he must go and carve out his own future.
This is the only way, you don't need to think about other things.
There is indeed a "shortcut to the south" when a Taoist sect is promoted to a talisman.
Nine out of ten high-level Taoist priests nowadays must have ascended the talisman through the Zhongnan shortcut, gradually developed their power skills step by step, and gradually climbed up.
However, the accumulated cultivation level of such a talisman is far from being comparable to that of a Taoist priest who understands the rhythm of the temple system on his own, participates in the secrets of Yun Ji, and then is promoted to a talisman!
Do you want to take this shortcut to Zhongnan?"
Master Chilong looked into Su Wu's eyes,
Su Wu shook his head: "According to what you said, this Zhongnan shortcut is basically cutting off the future and cutting off the road ahead. Naturally, I can't take such a road.
However, starting from the fifth level, the practice of talisman has become "impossible to repair".
There is no longer any guidance and support from the fundamental scriptures,
Disciples are inevitably confused about this and feel somewhat unable to start.
Could you please give me some advice, Master?"
Su Wu, who had just taught the Dharma sternly to Master Chilong, as if he were a master, now lowered his posture, claimed to be his disciple, and asked Master Chilong to teach him. Master Chilong suddenly felt a little satisfied in his heart, and nodded and said: "
You are my apprentice, how could I not care about you?
Giving you guidance is what a master should do.
In fact, this practice starting from the fifth-level talisman is achieved through continuous interaction with the 'ancestral master', gradually approaching the 'divine genealogy temple system', sensing the existence of a certain 'divine genealogy temple system', and then relying on communion with the ancestor.
The fragmentary charm and the rhyme of the great road sort out the body of talismans, and from each talisman - every spell, we can understand the existence of 'dharma' and the existence of 'dao'.
Piece together the appearance of ‘Tao’ in your own nature.
Connect the ‘Tao’ that you pieced together to the divine genealogy temple system, and finally extract the ‘dao charm’ from the divine genealogy temple system!”
Chilong Zhenren continued: "Not to mention how to digest the 'Charm of the Dao' after picking up the charm of the Dao. I will only say that this process of approaching the divine genealogy and temple system and constantly communicating with the ancestors will also lead to the collection of various patterns and charms of the Dao."
in you,
The corresponding talismans of the fourth, third and second levels are condensed for you!
Someone said before - you have direct contact with the 'Zhenwu Patriarch', and as long as you continue to practice, you will definitely be awarded a first-level talisman in the future, because the 'Zhenwu Patriarch' is a god who grew up in a certain divine genealogy temple!
You just need to grab it as the anchor point,
Keep approaching it, and you will keep getting closer to the divine genealogy temple system where Zhenwu Patriarch is located!
There is no need to be like other Taoist priests, who need to constantly interact with the surrounding ancestors, examine their own paths, repeatedly correct mistakes, stumble and even waste their lives, but never really get close to a certain divine genealogy temple!
This is equivalent to others walking forward blindfolded.
And you not only open your eyes,
Even the map is in your hands!"
When Su Wu heard this, he suddenly realized.
"But you also need to understand one thing - at the moment, you are using the 'Zhenwulu' as your main talisman. In the future, you can invite the ancestors related to the Zhenwulu to lower the Taoist patterns and sort out your own talisman body.
But from now on, you must not invite the original Lei Ancestor or other ancestors related to gods to send down the Dao patterns and rhymes to sort out the talisman body.
Even if it attracts fragments of charm and the rhythm of the avenue, it can only be used to refine the various talismans connected to it.
For example, if you attract the great avenue pattern of the original thunder ancestor Beiyin Holy Mother, you can use it to refine and baptize your own thunder spell talisman.
You must not be tempted to sort out your own talismans.
——Because the divine genealogical temple systems of different gods may be in completely different directions, using the avenue pattern and rhyme of two different temple systems to sort out the body of the talisman is very likely to conflict with each other and is not conducive to the practice of talismans.
Unless you really understand the master-slave relationship between different divine genealogy temple systems, and can trace the origin of the two different gods' divine genealogy temple systems, they are in the same line. In this case, let's quote the avenue patterns of the two different temple systems.
There will be no benefit in sorting out the talisman body, and the gain is even beyond imagination.
But this situation is extremely rare.
Nowadays, the divine genealogy and temple systems summarized by Taoist sects are mostly messy and unsystematic.
Most Taoist priests do not have such "trouble" that can attract two or more gods to descend the pattern of the Tao.
These words are specially used to remind you." Master Chilong gave Su Wu some more instructions.
"I've written it down." Su Wu nodded and agreed.
…
More than ten strong horses pulled the cart slowly.
‘Ding Ling’ sits on the cart at the front, guiding the way forward for Yuanqing Lao Dao.
If a group of people take a boat to the Tianwei Taoist Temple and start from Wutong Ferry, they can reach Yunzhou, where the Tianwei Taoist Temple is located, in less than half a day, while if they take the land route, it will take a day.
The roads in Beilu Mountain set off before dawn.
At noon, I wandered on the road for half an hour and had lunch.
Now that dusk has arrived and the sun is setting in the west,
We finally approached the Taoist Temple of Tianwei Taoist Temple on Fengshan Mountain in Yunzhou.
Fengshan is still famous in Yunzhou,
However, if the people in neighboring prefectures and counties do not often come to Yunzhou, they will not know about this mountain at all. They only know that the "Tianwei Taoist Altar" stands in Yunzhou.
This mountain is no more than a hundred feet high, but it is rather steep. Before the Tianwei Taoist Temple was established here, there were few people around Fengshan. There were only a few wild people who lived on the mountain, climbing over the mountains and ridges, and carrying water.
Firewood, very hard work.
The founder of Tianwei Taoist Temple Kaimai led his disciples to travel here, and was invited by some wild Taoists to stay here temporarily for a few months. After that, he decided to establish a Taoist temple here.
Then the banner of "Lushan Dharma Lineage Tianwei Taoist Altar" was raised and the flag was set up here.
Once the news of raising the flag spread,
Under the banner of "attacking the evil priests" and "destroying the heretics", various forces including native religions, shamanism, Buddhism and others besieged the founder of the Tianwei Taoist Altar Kaimai and his disciples.
The founder of the Tianwei Taoist altar naturally overcame all the difficulties and became the final winner of this battle. He just established a Taoist temple on Fengshan Mountain and ordered the defeated heretics to dig roads, burn mountains and destroy forests. After half a year, those who
The heretics were so exhausted that they finally opened a stairway from the bottom of the mountain directly to the Temple of Heavenly Power on the top of the mountain!
The stone steps stretching to the top of the mountain were later repaired and widened several times, and finally became the size they are today.
On both sides of the stone steps, which are wide enough for people and animals to walk side by side, flags and flags are fluttering in the wind.
The disciples of the Tianwei Taoist Temple stood in front of an archway at the turning point of the mountain steps, looking at the dozen or so carriages gathered below with a stern look. Chilong Zhenren leaned on the side of the carriage and raised his eyes to look at the archway.
More than ten Tianwei Taoist disciples gathered below, waved to a red-headed master who was working as a handyman at his place, and said: "You go!
Go and inform the people in charge of the Taoist altar,
Just say that the real Chilong of Beilu Mountain came to visit the mountain gate!"
The red-headed master suffered a lot here in Beilu Mountain. Although he never suffered from hunger every day - Beilu Mountain never deprived him of food, working like this all day long was not as good as suffering at the Tianwei Taoist Altar.
To be honorable, you will be carried and held up wherever you go.
When he heard what Master Chilong said, he actually asked him to go back to the Taoist altar——
The red-headed master was immediately overjoyed and nodded repeatedly: "I will definitely bring your words here, I will definitely bring your words here!"
The surrounding talismans were also demolished. Several red-headed masters who were doing hard labor under Beilu Mountain Gate saw this and cast envious glances at the man.
Why don't they want to escape the sea of suffering?
Master Chilong naturally noticed the gazes of these people, without paying attention, and grinned.
But Su Wu, who was sitting next to him, said at this time: "You are all masters in the Taoist altar, so go ahead!
Let’s go to Tianwei Taoist Altar together to upload the news!”
Master Chilong turned his head and looked at Su Wu in surprise, but he did not stop Su Wu from making such a decision.
When all the red-headed masters heard this, they were overjoyed and noisily kowtowed to Master Chilong. Master and disciple Su Wu then swarmed up the mountain steps and rushed towards the disciples of the Tianwei Taoist altar who were guarding under the archway!
at the foot of the mountain,
Only Ding Ling remained in the convoy and never left.
