Chapter 72 End of Lecture 2, Three Methods of Enlightenment
In Zixiao Palace, Daozu Hongjun accepted Sanqing and Nuwa as his disciples, and gave them the foundation of the holy way, the primordial purple qi, and then he stopped talking.
Seeing this situation, the cultivators present felt a shudder in their hearts and secretly said that it was not good. At this point, how could they not understand? Aren’t the disciples of Daozu Hongjun corresponding to the people on the six cushions in front? And if the primordial purple qi is a necessary condition for becoming a saint, then Sanqing and Nuwa are destined to become saints, and they will be ants forever, and it will be difficult for them to turn over?
At this moment, Dijun, Taiyi, Zhenyuanzi, Minghe and others all looked extremely ugly, looking at the six cushions in the front, with deep regret in their expressions. As for Kunpeng, he looked at Hongyun Taoist with resentment. If it weren’t for him, he would have become a disciple of Daozu long ago.
If he had known earlier that the six cushions represented the disciples of Daozu Hongjun and the future saints, he would have said that he would have snatched one! Now, what should I do? What should I do?
After giving Nuwa the primordial purple qi, Daoist ancestor Hongjun remained silent. Seeing this, just when Dijun, Zhenyuanzi and others were extremely regretful, Jieyin and Zhunti on the futon saw Hongjun's silence, and they were immediately anxious. They knelt down and begged to the ancestor Hongjun:
"Teacher, we two are devoted to Taoism, please accept us as disciples."
After a long silence, looking at the two, the ancestor Hongjun took a deep breath and sighed:
"Forget it, forget it! You two have a shallow fate with me, but you can also be my nominal disciples. I will give you these two primordial purple qi."
With a wave of his sleeves, two more primordial purple qi merged into Jieyin and Zhunti's bodies. It was Hongjun who remembered the cause and effect owed during the Western Dao-Demon War that year, and he had to pay it back. He knew that the two people in front of him would leave Xuanmen and re-establish his own sect in the future, but he had to do this.
"Disciple thanks the teacher, and kowtow to thank the teacher for his kindness." Jieyin and Zhunti were overjoyed and kowtowed to thank him.
At this moment, Taiyi of the demon clan couldn't help it. He stood up and pleaded with Hongjun Daozu:
"Daozu, my eldest brother is the emperor of the demon clan. Can I get a primordial purple qi?" As soon as this was said, other people reacted and pleaded.
"Nine is the ultimate. There should be nine saints under the heavenly way. My Xuanmen occupies eight. Seven have gone and one is left. Hey! Well, there is still a primordial purple qi here, let it choose by itself."
Seeing this, Hongjun looked indifferent and calm, turning a blind eye to everyone's pleading. But in the end, for some unknown reason, he sighed, and the great cultivator flicked his hand. A primordial purple qi flew out and circled in the Zixiao Palace for a while. The cultivators hurriedly stared at it and didn't let it go. Some even tried to catch it with their hands, but the primordial purple qi passed through their bodies and they didn't catch any corners.
Finally, the cultivators saw that the primordial purple air circled the hall for a while, then suddenly descended and quickly fell into the body of Taoist Hongyun.
Seeing this, Taoist Hongyun was ecstatic and hurriedly bowed down, expressing his gratitude. However, Taoist Hongjun remained indifferent, neither sad nor happy, and ignored him.
Seeing this, the other cultivators looked at Taoist Hongyun with envy on their faces, but some people had a cold light in their eyes, but they had other thoughts in their hearts. Such as Dijun, Taiyi, Kunpeng and others, especially Kunpeng, when he saw Hongyun get the primordial purple air, the resentment in his eyes became stronger.
But Taoist Zhenyuanzi knew that something was wrong when he saw this, and he was extremely anxious and worried for his friend.
"The second sermon is over. Ten thousand years later, the third and last sermon will be held." Hongjun said lightly regardless of the reactions of the cultivators.
After the voice fell, his figure gradually faded into the void, but he had disappeared. At this time, the gate of Zixiao Palace was also opened.
Seeing this, all the cultivators left Zixiao Palace and headed towards the prehistoric land. This sermon was too profound and they needed a deeper understanding. Zhen Yuanzi grabbed Taoist Hongyun and flew quickly to Wanshou Mountain.
"Taoist Kunpeng, please stay. We have something to discuss."
At this time, Di Jun suddenly called Kunpeng who was about to leave, and then the two brothers and Nuwa brothers and sisters walked towards Kunpeng together.
Seeing this, Kunpeng stopped and looked at the four people, wondering why these four people came to him? Could it be that --
"Hello, fellow Taoists. I wonder why you invited me?"
Di Jun said directly without any hesitation: "Fellow Taoist Kunpeng, we are all from the demon clan. Now the unification of the demon clan is the general trend. We invite you to Beiming Palace to join the demon clan. What do you think?"
Sure enough, when Kunpeng heard this, his eyes shrank slightly, he sighed in his heart, and said in a deep voice:
"Thank you for your kindness, fellow Taoists. My Beiming Palace is located in a remote area and is weak. I don't want to join the struggle in the prehistoric world. I will take my leave now!"
After saying that, before the four people could say anything else, Kunpeng spread his wings and flew directly into the prehistoric world.
Seeing this, the four people looked a little gloomy, looking at Kunpeng's departing figure, a trace of cold light flashed in their eyes.
"This Kunpeng really doesn't know how to show kindness!" Taiyi shouted angrily.
"Okay, a mere Kunpeng, I don't believe he can stir up much waves, let's go back and chop off the corpse first, and then discuss the affairs of the demon clan together." After a moment of silence, Di Jun spoke.
"Good!" The other three had no objection and agreed. After that, they rode on the auspicious cloud and headed towards the prehistoric world.
The three Yuanshi didn't know what happened between the four, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
After the three people passed through the chaos and entered the primitive world, they went straight back to Kunlun. This time they listened to the teachings of the Three Corpses, and they gained a lot. The three flowers were beating in the soul. This was probably a sign that the corpses were about to be killed, and they needed to retreat urgently.
After returning to Kunlun, the three of them announced that they would go into seclusion. They needed to refine the Hongmeng Purple Qi and understand the method of killing corpses to kill corpses as soon as possible. Seeing their hurry, the disciples didn't bother them.
The first thing Yuanshi saw was not the Hongmeng Purple Qi, but the way of understanding the Three Corpses. Anyway, the Hongmeng Purple Qi is there, and it won't run away, so why are you in a hurry? Nowadays, killing three corpses to prove the Dao is the most important thing.
As the saying goes, there are three ways to achieve enlightenment. One is to achieve enlightenment through force, the second is to achieve enlightenment by killing three corpses, and the third is to achieve enlightenment through merit. Needless to say, it goes without saying that power is used to prove the Tao. Pangu and the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods all used power to prove the Tao. In Yuanshi's view, proving the Tao through force is not about opening up the world. To prove the Tao with force is to understand your own Tao, and then continue to accumulate Tao practices and great magic power, and use great magic power and great magical power to forcibly break the imprisonment of the realm and reach the realm of Hunyuan. Opening up the world is just one way to prove the Tao through force.
Enlightenment through merit is naturally a result of great contributions to heaven and earth, and rewards obtained by heaven after being favored by it. This is a kind of fruit status in heaven and earth. It is not Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, nor a so-called saint, but a perfect person, or it can also be called a meritorious person or a meritorious person. Saint, this is actually a tricky approach, so achieving enlightenment through merit is the weakest.
However, as far as he knew, all the saints in later generations, except Hongjun Daozu, were all saints through merit.
This method of killing three corpses to achieve enlightenment was originally created by Taoist Hongjun. He used innate objects to kill the three corpses of good and evil, and the state of mind was clear. Then the three corpses merged into one, Hunyuan became one, and the strength reached its peak, and the Daluo Jinxian of Hunyuan was realized. , but there is something unique about it.
And it is precisely because of the method of the three corpses that the realm of quasi-sage exists. Originally, there was no such thing as quasi-sage in the ancient world, but since the emergence of Hongjun, there has been the realm of quasi-sage. Originally these were called Daluo Jinxian.
Just like Yuanshi now, although he is still in the realm of Daluo Jinxian, his magic power and Taoism have already reached the quasi-sage perfection, and he is only one step away from enlightenment.
Without thinking any more, he quickly became immersed in the method of killing three corpses.
