"Destined spiritual creature?" Bai Liming asked puzzledly.
"This starts with the relationship between Tao, Dharma, Technique, and Utensils. Tao is the origin, which is the ultimate principle and law of heaven and earth; Dharma is the principle of law, which is the way to follow the Tao; Technique is the way, which is the behavior of the operation of Tao.
, As the saying goes: Using Taoism as a tool; the tool is the result of the operation of Taoism, which can be divided into tangible and intangible. As the saying goes: if a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tool."
"The four are like a big tree. Dao is the root, Dharma is the trunk, technique is the branches and leaves, and implements are the stamens. Dao is used to clarify the direction, Dharma is used to establish the foundation, technique is used to establish strategies, and tools are used to achieve things."
Yuan Jinsheng picked up the fragrant tea with a greenish color and took a small sip. At the same time, he motioned to Baili Ming to bring the tea and drink together.
Moistening his throat, he put down the small white porcelain cup and continued: "When monks enter the late stage of elixir condensation, they can cultivate their natal spiritual objects. This spiritual object will first be a tangible object, and after it is connected with the soul, it can become intangible.
The things are warm and nourished in the Jiang Palace, and as the practice deepens, they will continue to strengthen. Using instruments to carry the Tao, it can break all laws."
"Presumably your brother accidentally refined his natal spiritual object when he was condensing the elixir. The elixir condensation is inherently dangerous, and he lacked the blessing of Taoism, so he couldn't sustain it. This led to the failure of the elixir condensation and the collapse of the soul."
After Yuan Jinsheng explained, Baili Ming was dumbfounded. His mind was wandering, and he suddenly thought of something puzzling: "It is a spiritual object of destiny, how can this disciple use it?"
Yuan Jinsheng thought for a while and said: "It must be that your two brothers are connected by blood and soul, so they can be used. This matter is too twists and turns. This starlight is quite magical and can easily cause demons to covet it. For safety reasons, don't tell anyone about it.
.”
"Disciple understands that it is a crime to possess a jade, and I must strictly keep this secret."
Yuan Jinsheng nodded, and then took out an incense burner from his arms. It was made of brass, had two ears and three legs, and was covered with a hollow lotus pattern cover. He said: "This is a sound transmission incense burner. I will give you a mantra. In case of emergency,
You can contact me through this stove. In addition, there is a coil of incense in the stove. This incense has the effect of calming the mind and calming the mind, and is as powerful as the real soul. It can be lit during morning and evening classes to cooperate with the practice of breathing in and out."
Bai Liming took the incense burner and thanked him. Yuan Jinsheng looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late, so go back."
Baili Ming bowed deeply, and at this moment Zhu Changyou quietly appeared and led him back to Longmen Island.
After Bai Liming left, Yuan Jinsheng frowned and paced back and forth. Then he waved his hand and an old bronze oil lamp appeared in front of him. He recited obscure spells in a low voice, and the bronze oil lamp was suddenly ignited.
A light the size of a soybean suddenly lit up.
The firelight flickered and gradually transformed into a human figure. The large cloak covered his whole body and his appearance could not be seen clearly, but from the slightly rickety figure, it could be seen that this person looked very old.
Yuan Jinsheng saluted the figure respectfully: "Ancestor."
The figure's voice was old and his breath was weak, and he said: "Jin Sheng, there is no need to be polite. What do you mean by waking me up at this time?"
"There is something that affects the smooth progress of the plan. I have no choice but to disturb the retreat of the Patriarch." There was a trace of anxiety in Yuan Jinsheng's deep voice.
As if sensing Yuan Jinsheng's emotions, the figure coughed and smiled and said: "There is something that makes you feel troublesome. Please tell me in detail."
Yuan Jinsheng told Bailiping's current situation and the matter of refining the starlight. After hearing the words, the figure thought for a moment and said: "I didn't expect that child to be able to refine spiritual seeds. He is a genius in Taoism. It's a pity. But there's no need.
Don't worry, first follow your method, help Baili Ming condense the pill, and let the two brothers work together to break the shackles of the soul."
"If this method fails, does the Patriarch have another method?"
"A dike of a thousand miles collapses in an ant nest. The plan cannot be ruined because of this small variable. Don't worry, I have my own way to deal with it. Just follow the plan."
"yes."
"There is another matter that you need to arrange properly."
"Master, please speak."
"Send this object into the Kaiyang Cauldron." The figure stretched out a finger and pointed at the center of his eyebrows. As the finger pulled, a ray of silver light was slowly pulled out, and then with a flick of his finger, it disappeared into the center of Yuan Jinsheng's eyebrows.
.
"Your junior brother is very wary of you. It's best to pretend to be someone else's. Be sure to do it in a concealed manner."
Yuan Jinsheng solemnly said: "Yes."
…
When Bai Liming returned to the lecture hall, the afternoon Taoist class had not yet begun. All the disciples in the teaching room gathered together in twos and threes and talked in low voices. Suddenly, an exclamation broke the calm and attracted everyone's attention.
I saw seven or eight people gathered together in the middle of the teaching building. A short disciple on the outside of the crowd screamed with a distorted expression of surprise: "Peiyuan Pill, little prince, you actually have the Peiyuan Pill!"
Before he finished speaking, a tall and thin disciple in the middle of the crowd interrupted with a stern voice: "What are you talking about? The young prince is among the best, so of course he will have the Peiyuan Pill."
The short disciple quickly apologized and said: "Look at my bad mouth and my inability to speak. I didn't question it, but I was amazed. I was greatly surprised. Little prince, you are a great master. Don't be as knowledgeable as me."
The young prince's somewhat displeased expression softened, and he snorted lightly, but did not reply, but waved his hand magnanimously.
The tall and thin disciple then asked with a flattering look on his face: "Young prince, can you open our eyes to the world?"
The rest of the crowd also echoed: "Yes, yes, little prince, let us open our eyes."
At this time, other people in the teaching building were also attracted and gathered towards the crowd in the middle. For a time, there were three floors outside and three floors outside, surrounding the young prince. They all stretched their necks and looked in.
The short disciple lost no time in boasting: "Fellow Taoists, this Peiyuan Pill is the best elixir in the Taoist sect. The spiritual power it contains is thousands of times stronger than the Spirit Gathering Pill given to us. Because it is not easy to refine, the Taoist sect
It has never been rumored that even the inner disciples of Ningdan can only receive one pill per month. You are lucky enough to be able to see the true form of the elixir today, so thank you for your generosity, young prince."
For a time, compliments poured in from everyone.
Seeing that the heat was up, the young prince coughed slightly and interrupted: "Since all the fellow Taoists want to see it, I can't refuse, otherwise it will appear that I am stingy."
As he spoke, he took out a palm-sized sandalwood box from his arms. It was purple-red with a matte paint surface. An orange gem the size of a dove egg was inlaid in the middle of the lid. It was surrounded by layers of carved patterns of birds and animals. It looked antique.
Sophisticated and elegant.
When the wooden box was opened, it was covered with bright yellow silk brocade, and two white pills the size of broad beans were arranged inside. A faint scent of grass and trees emitted, lingering in the air for a long time. Everyone's eyes widened, their mouths opened wide, and they were amazed.
.
Bai Liming was sitting quietly aside at this time. When he saw everyone's expressions, he couldn't help but sigh. He was truly lucky to be favored by Yuan Shouzuo and given the enviable Peiyuan Pill. As he was thinking about it, his eyes casually
Looking towards the side of the teaching building,
A delicate girl also sat quietly, flipping through books and not joining in the fun. As if sensing Bai Liming's gaze, the girl turned her head and looked at him.
When their eyes met, the whole classroom seemed to become quiet instantly, leaving only a pair of boys and girls looking at each other quietly. It felt like a warm river slowly flowing in Bai Liming's heart, and like the softness of the sky in the sky.
The clouds enveloped him leisurely.
Suddenly, a "pop" sound came. The girl seemed startled and turned away her eyes. Baili Ming pretended to read a book with a red face, glanced secretly from the corner of his eyes, and couldn't help but smile awkwardly. It turned out to be that
The wooden box is closed.
Seeing everyone's reluctant eyes, the young prince felt even more proud in his heart, but he still pretended to be apologetic and clasped his fists and said: "Fellow Taoists, the class will start soon, Pei Yuan Dan will just watch this, and I will watch it again when I have the opportunity."
"
Although everyone was a little reluctant, they could only give up and returned to their seats one by one to prepare for class. However, more people began to whisper and chat about the topic of Peiyuan Dan.
At the end of the day's practice, Bai Liming returned to his residence, picked up a pen and wrote a letter to his family, explaining the circumstances surrounding Yuan's summons to him today.
After writing it, I felt it was inappropriate. Although the letter was delivered by Daomen Shishitang, it was only sent to the dock market town, and the rest was delivered by the post station of the Great Earthquake Dynasty. The safety of the letter could not be guaranteed during the process.
There are many secrets about what happened today, and if it is revealed, the consequences will be serious. Thinking of this, Bai Liming put the written letter on the oil lamp and ignited it. The jumping fire was just like his turbulent mood at this time.
