"May I ask the Patriarch, where is the life of ghosts?"
Hearing that ghosts were indeed alive, the Lord of Dongcheng was excited and couldn't help but step forward and ask.
"People have martial arts, immortals have fairy ways, gods have divine ways, Buddhas have Buddhist ways, and demons have devil ways. Ghosts naturally also have ghost ways."
"The vitality of ghosts lies here."
"In the future, ghost paths will emerge to open up a path to transcendence for hundreds of millions of ghosts."
There was nothing to hide. It was part of Jiang Chen's plan, so Jiang Chen said it directly.
The ghost path is the life of countless ghosts, and it is also the path to enlightenment for Emperor Fengdu.
How can Emperor Fengdu be qualified to become the Lord of the Netherworld, in charge of the Underworld, and to rule all ghosts? It is because he will open up the ghost path in the future and open up the path to transcendence for hundreds of millions of ghosts, thereby becoming the supreme ghost path and being conquered by all ghosts.
Respected by ghosts, he ascended to the throne of the Netherworld Supreme in one fell swoop.
After all, the Netherworld is also the world of the dead, and countless ghosts are the dead. With their support, they are naturally qualified to become the Lord of the Netherworld and aspire to the supreme position.
"Ghost way?"
Hearing these two words, the city lords of the five cities were all shocked. They couldn't help but kneel on the ground, kowtow to Jiang Chen and said: "I sincerely ask the ancestor to express his kindness to the ghosts in the Netherworld, so as to relieve their grievances."
The five of them were among the first batch of disciples to join the Shangqing Palace. They were truly blessed by the saint. Their talents may not be very high, but their luck was definitely far superior to that of their peers.
Therefore, as soon as Jiang Chen told the story about the ghost path, the five of them seemed to be blessed. They knew that their opportunity had come, and they quickly kowtowed and begged Jiang Chen to teach the ghost path to all the ghosts in the Netherworld.
Opportunity!
What a great opportunity!
Now, the five people feel that a huge opportunity lies in front of them.
How should I put it, when they are bowing now, it would be fine if Jiang Chen didn’t pass on the ghost path, but if he did pass on the ghost path, wouldn’t it mean that Jiang Chen only passed it on after the five of them bowed and begged.
The ghost path?
In an instant, the five people became taller and taller. In the future, all living beings who set foot on the ghost path will accept their love whether they are willing or not.
After all, no matter how many ghosts are passed down to the descendants, they must have a share of their contribution. The so-called gratitude should be repaid. If the ghosts in the future do not want to be scolded as ungrateful, they must accept their kindness.
With this kind of kindness, the five people's destiny became brighter in an instant.
Even if the ghost path is not strong, they can still get the Dao fruit of Daluo Jinxian. If the ghost path is extremely prosperous in the future, then they will be able to get better because of it, and at least they can get the fruit of the innate Taoist master.
A simple request, if successful, is enough to change their life's destiny. Why don't they ask for such a big benefit? There is no loss if they fail, but if they succeed, they will make a lot of money.
"You five are quite clever!"
Seeing the performance of the five people, Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but laugh.
These five people are really smart and know how to seize opportunities. The world is like this, choice is more important than hard work.
Just like the five people, just by seizing an opportunity, they can save countless years of hard work. In other words, they can directly reach the sky in one step and reach a height that they theoretically cannot reach anyway.
Regarding the ghost path, since Jiang Chen planned to become the Great Emperor of Fengdu, he was naturally prepared. He had already researched a rough idea.
In other words, this was his trump card to become the Great Emperor of Fengdu. Before getting the support of Empress Houtu, Jiang Chen was ready to take out the ghost path at the critical moment and kill all his competitors with one blow.
But now, because of the support of Empress Houtu, Jiang Chen can be said to have secured the position of Emperor Fengdu 100%. The trump card he prepared earlier has no use, but he can use it in advance to gain some for himself.
reputation.
"It doesn't matter, you are my disciples after all, so I will give you this opportunity. I plan to stay in the City of Wasted Death for a year to explain the ways of ghost cultivation to the ghosts."
"It's up to you to prepare for this matter."
The five of them are all disciples of Zhang Daoling, and can be regarded as Jiang Chen's disciples. This relationship can be said to be very close. Therefore, if this opportunity is not given to anyone, it is better to give it to one of your own.
"Thank you, Patriarch!"
Upon hearing this, the five people knew that the matter was settled, their destiny had been changed at this moment, and their future prospects would be limitless.
At this moment, they were so excited that they could not describe it in words. If they had not worried about Jiang Chen's presence, they would have looked up to the sky and roared to vent their excitement.
"I would like to ask the Patriarch, when are you going to open the forum to teach the Dharma? Could you please let me know in advance so that the disciples can be prepared?"
After a long time, the five of them gradually calmed down. Thinking of what Jiang Chen said before, they asked respectfully.
"Let's set it three days after the Ghost Festival." After thinking about it, Jiang Chen said.
His sermon this time could be said to have been impromptu, and he did not intend to give a big sermon. Instead, he gave a small-scale sermon with the intention of popularizing the concept of ghosts, so that all ghosts would have a clue in their minds and avoid ghosts.
When Tao suddenly appeared, they were unprepared.
As for when the true sermon will be given and the ghost path will be completely established, it will naturally be the moment when Jiang Chen becomes the Great Emperor of Fengdu.
The moment Emperor Fengdu ascends the throne, the entire Netherworld, including all the ghosts in the world, will feel the emotion. This is the best time to start teaching ghosts. Not only is it justifiable, but it can also be heard clearly by all the ghosts.
to his sermon this time.
Preaching also has merit. Generally speaking, the more souls who listen to the sermon, the more merit you will receive.
This is the power of education!
"It's the Patriarch!"
When the five people heard this, they didn't say anything about time being too tight. Instead, they respectfully stepped down and went to do this.
Whether it is spreading the news or setting up a venue for preaching, it will take time. And the time Jiang Chen left for them was so short, there was no extra time for them to waste.
Nowadays, there are only seven or eight days until the Ghost Festival, which means that in ten days, Jiang Chen will give a lecture on ghosts in the City of Fusei.
The Netherworld is so big, how far can this news spread in ten days? And even if it spreads far enough, how many ghosts can come in just ten days?
Thanks to the Hungry Ghost Festival, there are many more ghosts near the City of Wasted Death. Otherwise, few people would come to listen to Jiang Chen's sermon this time.
Jiang Chen didn't care about any of this. It was just a temporary thing. Even if no one came to listen, it didn't matter. It saved him trouble.
Those who were able to come here to listen to his sermons meant that they were lucky; those who could not come here only meant that they were unlucky and missed this opportunity.
This is the state of mind of an expert, do whatever you want!
…
…………
After the five people left, Jiang Chen did not sit idle. Instead, he directly found a place to sit down and sort out his knowledge of ghost ways.
Since he was going to preach, he naturally had to come up with some practical information to prevent others from scolding him for fooling people.
Jiang Chen is not a ghost, but he knows ghosts very well. What is a ghost? Simply put, it is the soul. And when it comes to souls, who can be better than Sanqing?
To be honest, when it comes to the soul, the Three Pure Ones are the authority. Even innate ghosts and gods who have an innate understanding of the soul are not even worthy of carrying their shoes in front of them.
The reason is very simple, because the Sanqing people do not have physical bodies, they are transformed from Pangu Yuanshen. And what is Yuanshen? It is the product of the soul after several transformations.
As you practice together, as your cultivation level improves, your soul will continue to condense and undergo transformation. It will first transform into a Yin God, then transform into a Yang God, and then merge with the heaven and earth, sublimating into the Yuan Shen.
In other words, the essence of Yuanshen is the soul, but it is more advanced. And since the Sanqing Dynasty was transformed by Pangu Yuanshen, it is conceivable that their achievements in the soul are unparalleled.
about.
How strong the Twelve Ancestral Witches are in terms of body, and how strong the Three Pure Ones are in terms of soul.
I have said so much just to prove one thing, that is, in a sense, Sanqing is also a ghost...
You see, ghosts are formed from souls, and so are the three pure beings. Ghosts do not have physical bodies. Although there are three pure beings, it is equivalent to not having them. However weak the twelve ancestral witches are in terms of soul, then similarly, the three pure beings are weak in the physical body.
How weak.
Sanqing has many similarities with ghosts, but their origins are too high, which makes them look like ghosts.
We can look at the essence through phenomena and trace everything back to its origin. They are all living beings transformed by souls. What is the difference between the two? It is just that the three pure beings are beyond life and death at birth, while ghosts are still struggling in life and death.
Of course, saying all this is not to prove that Sanqing is really a ghost. They are just similar, but in fact they are very different. If Sanqing were really ghosts, the ghost realm would have been born long ago, and there is no need to wait until now
Already.
The purpose of saying so much is to explain that the innate inheritance of the Three Pure Ones is the most suitable inheritance for ghost cultivation.
Jiang Chen has all the inheritance of the Shangqing saints and part of the inheritance of the Taiqing saints, so he clearly knows that the innate inheritance of the Three Pure Ones is mainly about cultivating the soul.
If ghosts want to progress, they must naturally transform towards the Yuanshen. Therefore, the most suitable technique for them is naturally the Sanqing inheritance, that is, the Pangu Yuanshen inheritance.
Of course, what level of existence is the Sanqing? Even when they were first born, they all had the cultivation of the innate Taoist masters, and their inheritance contained the mystery of the Tao. The level was too high, even if they were placed directly in front of the ghosts, they would also
can't read.
Therefore, at this time, it is necessary for an expert to appear and develop a set of exercises suitable for low-cost ghost cultivation based on the inheritance of Pangu Yuanshen.
This is also the limitation of innate inheritance. Even the weakest innate gods and demons had the cultivation level of a golden immortal when they were born. Therefore, all innate inheritance starts from the golden immortal.
As for the inheritance under the Golden Immortal, I'm sorry, there is none, and the innate gods and demons don't need it. As for the ghosts in the Netherworld, most of them are no different from ordinary people, and they can't understand the innate inheritance anyway.
Of course, it's useless even if you understand it. It's a technique prepared for the Golden Immortal. So what if you understand it? Without the cultivation of the Golden Immortal, you can't practice either.
Therefore, the first step in opening up the ghost path is to develop a set of exercises that allow ghosts to practice. After completing the first step, you can start the second step, which is to sort out the concepts of the ghost path and give them
Point out a direction of progress so that they can keep going until they transcend.
After completing this step, you can do nothing else and just let the ghost monks work hard on their own.
As the saying goes, there is no road in the world, but if there are more people walking on it, there will be a road. In the same way, there is no ghost path in this world, but if there are many ghosts who can walk on it, the ghost path will naturally appear.
The rise of a great avenue cannot be achieved by one person. Even if it is Taoist Hongjun, you only see him opening up the Xuanmen Immortal Way, but you don’t see that before the ancient times, when the world was just opened, there were countless Taoist ancestors who followed him.
comrades.
It was Daozu and his colleagues who worked hard to study together, which led to the later heyday of Xuanmen Immortal Dao. As for why these people are not seen, we can only say that they were unlucky and did not survive to this era and died.
In the midst of the battle between immortals and demons.
If the ghost realm wants to prosper, Jiang Chen alone is not enough. All he can do is point out a direction for the ghosts, and the rest depends on their own efforts.
Jiang Chen was born into studying the way of Pangu Yuanshen, so it is not difficult for him to develop a method suitable for the cultivation of all ghosts based on the way of Pangu Yuanshen.
Sound simple?
But this is not the case. It is not difficult to create a method that can be practiced by ghosts, but it is extremely difficult to develop a method that can be practiced by all ghosts.
One person has one appearance, and ten thousand people have ten thousand appearances. In the ancient world, there are more than trillions of creatures, it is simply endless.
In this case, apart from the Pangu inheritance, the rest, even the inheritance of the Taoist ancestors, cannot be said to be practiced by everyone.
The heaven and the earth all originate from the great god Pangu. He is the true beginning of all things. There is no discomfort for all sentient beings practicing his inheritance.
In other words, only the ghost cultivation technique developed based on the way of Pangu Yuanshen can be practiced by everyone.
Jiang Chen's ability to open up the ghost path is not accidental, but inevitable. First of all, he possesses the inheritance of Pangu Yuanshen, which meets the basic conditions for opening up the ghost path. Secondly, he is a human race, and most of the ghosts in the Netherworld are human races and foreign races.
are rare.
Ghosts are weak and no one cares about them. Even those with great supernatural powers who come to the netherworld for the purpose of reincarnation will not even look at these ghosts.
But Jiang Chen was different. He came from later generations, so he saw the helplessness of ghosts and the opportunities of ghost ways. At this point, ghost ways were born from his hands.
"That is to say, the ghosts have not yet become powerful, so I took advantage. After a while, the opportunity to open up the ghost path will not fall on me."
