Chapter 13 Listening to sutras and getting a first glimpse of the path to spiritual practice
"No need to be polite."
What Xu Taiping didn't expect was that the mirror spirit actually responded to him, even though his tone was very cold and stiff.
"Xuanjing, I'm ready."
At this moment, a very majestic voice came from the bronze mirror.
Xu Taiping immediately looked into the bronze mirror.
I saw the mirror that originally reflected Xu Taiping's own face. The moment the old man's voice rang out, a misty mountain peak suddenly appeared, and on top of the mountain peak, I could vaguely see the figure of an old man with an immortal spirit.
.
"Master Ziyang, there are a total of three hundred and ninety-six disciples attending this lecture, including 200 and 18 new disciples, and 200 untrained disciples." .??.
The voice of the mirror spirit sounded again from the bronze mirror.
While he was speaking, the image on the bronze mirror kept enlarging until Xu Taiping could clearly see the Taoist Ziyang who was sitting on a stone platform.
"Four hundred people are enough. There is no need to let anyone in."
Ziyang Daojun's eyes were slightly closed, and his lips were slightly opened.
"yes."
Jing Ling responded in a cold tone.
"It turns out that Taoist Master Ziyang will limit the number of people who can attend his lectures. Fortunately, I came early today."
After listening to the conversation between Ziyang Daojun and Jing Ling, Xu Taiping secretly felt happy.
"Whether it is the first time for you to hear this "Remnant Clouds Sutra" taught by me, or you have heard it many times before, I will treat it equally and start from the beginning."
After a slight pause, Ziyang Daojun's voice sounded again.
Knowing that Lord Ziyang was officially starting his lecture, Xu Taiping immediately sat upright and stared at the bronze mirror in front of him without blinking.
"There are many of you who have never practiced cultivation before you started. Therefore, before I teach you the Canxia Sutra, I would like to talk to you about what cultivation is and what cultivation is."
"The so-called cultivation is nothing more than training the body on top of physical training, and refining the Qi through the art of opening the door, and our Qingxuan Sect has always opened the door again.
"Only by first cultivating a breath of innate true energy can you be able to use magic and magical powers, can you prolong your life and increase your longevity, and can you have a glimpse of the path to ascension to enlightenment and immortality."
"And the "Remnant Clouds Sutra" that I am going to talk about today is one of the most important opening techniques for our sect."
Hearing this, Xu Taiping secretly nodded.
The words of Zhenjun Ziyang were very similar to the opening chapter of the "Remnant Clouds Sutra", and this was the only part that he could understand. The subsequent specific steps of practice made him confused.
"Now that we have talked about what cultivation is, I will now talk about what cultivation is."
"The so-called cultivation, simply put, is the different stages of cultivation."
"In the world of cultivation, cultivation is generally divided into five realms based on the length of life gained and the strength of one's skills."
"From weak to strong, the first level is the realm of opening the door, which some people call the realm of entering the sea. At this time, you have just gained a new path in cultivation, your energy and blood are abundant far beyond those of your peers, and your lifespan can reach two decades, more than one hundred and twenty years old."
Xu Taiping's eyelids couldn't help but twitch at this moment.
He did not expect that the realm of opening the door that his grandfather spoke of was actually the lowest realm in the world of cultivation.
Although he was surprised, he was also a little lucky. If the Open Door Realm was the second or third level, he estimated that it would be difficult for him to break through within half a year. By then, his forgery of the Immortal Book would be exposed.
But these thoughts are just
A flash passed in his mind, and he quickly concentrated again and continued to listen to Zhenjun Ziyang's sermon.
"The second level is called Wangyou Realm, and the lifespan can be up to three decades. Only when you reach this level can you truly be called a monk. Over the years, at least 60% of the disciples I have met are in trouble.
Above this level, some are even direct disciples of Qifeng."
"The third level is called Tongxuan Realm. After breaking through this realm, one can live as long as Liujiazi, be regarded as a true king, and have a dojo of his own in Yunlu Mountain."
"As for the fourth and fifth levels, you don't need to consider them at the moment. Don't be too ambitious."
When talking about this, Zhenjun Ziyang took a cup of tea from the disciples on the side and tasted it carefully, as if to let everyone experience it for themselves first.
"It turns out that it is so difficult to break through Tongxuan. No wonder Ziyang Zhenjun can be regarded as an elder."
Xu Taiping sighed in his heart at this time.
"I don't know what kind of state Sister Lingyue Fairy is in."
He suddenly became curious about Fairy Lingyue's cultivation.
"Okay, next, I will explain the "Canxia Sutra" to you in detail."
Just when Xu Taiping was distracted, the voice of Zhenjun Ziyang in the bronze mirror suddenly brought his thoughts back.
Next, Zhenjun Ziyang began to compare the books of the "Remnant Clouds Sutra" and explain step by step the key points of practicing the "Remnant Xia Sutra" to the disciples who were listening to the sutra.
Because Xu Taiping had already read the "Remnant Clouds Sutra" well before, it didn't take any effort for Xu Taiping to listen to it. He would even look enlightened from time to time and couldn't help but dance when he heard the wonderful points. He just felt that all the things he had read before
The confusion was solved bit by bit by Zhenjun Ziyang.
Although he is not a spiritual bone, Xu Taiping has been very talented in reading since he was a child. Therefore, in terms of understanding the exercises, he is not only no worse than some disciples who have spiritual bones, but is actually much better.
Just like at this moment, when he heard the wonderful narration, 80% of the disciples who were also facing the bronze mirror were scratching their heads and scratching their heads in great pain.
And all this was seen by Zhenjun Ziyang.
Except for a few disciples, most people including Xu Taiping did not know that at this moment, there was also a bronze mirror standing in front of Zhenjun Ziyang, a huge bronze mirror.
The picture shown in the bronze mirror was the more than 300 disciples who were listening to the lecture.
…
"Xuanjing, who introduced Qingxuan Sect to Xu Taiping from Qingzhuju?"
After the sermon was finished, Zhenjun Ziyang suddenly asked Jing Ling.
"Xu Taiping was originally a disciple selected by the Spiritual Bone Monument, and was originally going to be sent to the Seventh Peak. However, when testing the spiritual bones, Elder Black Dragon found that he was just a white bone and was not qualified to enter the Seventh Peak, so he was placed at the foot of the mountain.
Let him practice on his own and wait for the selection of the Seven Peaks in three years."
Jing Ling replied to Ziyang Zhenjun.
"Pity."
After listening to Xuan Jing's narration, Zhenjun Ziyang shook his head helplessly.
He could tell that Xu Taiping's understanding of the Kung Fu was different from ordinary people, so he had the idea of accepting him as his disciple, but he didn't expect that it turned out to be a skeleton.
"With a white bone, it's useless no matter how well you understand the technique. Not everyone is Su Chan."
True Lord Ziyang sighed.
"Zhenjun, you should never mention the name Su Chan. The master will be unhappy if he finds out."
Xuan Jing reminded Ziyang Zhenjun at this time, "No need to be polite."
What Xu Taiping didn't expect was that the mirror spirit actually responded to him, even though his tone was very cold and stiff.
"Xuanjing, I'm ready."
At this moment, a very majestic voice came from the bronze mirror.

.
"Master Ziyang, there are a total of 396 disciples attending this lecture, including 200 new disciples and 18 new disciples, and 200 non-cultivated disciples."
The voice of the mirror spirit sounded again from the bronze mirror.
While he was speaking, the image on the bronze mirror kept enlarging until Xu Taiping could clearly see the Taoist Ziyang who was sitting on a stone platform.
"Four hundred people are enough. There is no need to let anyone in."
