587, Dao and I (2/2)
The towering altar set up with tables, chairs and benches had been burnt to ashes by the fire. When the wind blew, it fell to pieces and collapsed.
Xianzheng and Xianyi took out a few relatively complete ones from the pile of broken tables and chairs, and stacked them into a temporary altar.
Xianxing and Xiansheng arranged candles and incense burners on the altar. According to the instructions of Master Chilong, they made a straw man and placed them behind the incense burner on the altar.
"Look, these four disciples are so diligent and sensible."
Chilong Zhenren pointed at the four busy Taoist boys and kicked away the only son of old man Yuanqing who was busy wiping the inside and outside of the altar - Zhenren Chilong agreed to take old man Yuanqing's only son under his tutelage. Currently, this person has not been given a formal Taoist name.
I don’t know whether it’s because I finished the four Taoist names of ‘Zhengyi Xingsheng’ and couldn’t find any other names to make up the number, or because I still don’t really like this talented and dull disciple and haven’t fully accepted him yet.
Listening to Master Chilong's words, Su Wu said expressionlessly: "Master thinks they are diligent and sensible, so we might as well accept them as disciples and teach them carefully. In this way, I will have a few more junior brothers and junior sisters. Our Youzhou Lushan lineage , I’m finally not alone anymore.”
"Ah!"
Master Chilong sneered and ignored Su Wu. He stood in front of the altar, inserted three sticks of incense into the incense burner, and placed the sword with the birth date of "Liangzhuang" on the table.
He then raised his sword and pointed at the straw man lying on his back on the table: "You are the appearance!"
Then he pointed to the sword next to the birth date: "You are the foundation!"
“Being on top of each other!
The imperial sword chases evil, the Dharma drives the projection, and the sky strikes the earth, and there is no one who refuses to obey!
disease! "
The last word from Chilong Zhenren's mouth fell,
A golden-red radiance suddenly erupted behind him, and the brilliant and brilliant light set up golden bridges behind him. The golden bridges overlapped each other and formed double towers!
On the heavy building that towers more than ten feet high, there are purple, green, red or gold talismans decorating it!
The patterns of various avenues are like hook-and-lock talismans, winding around the entire building.
There are even more soldiers like clouds and fierce generals like rain, rushing back and forth between the hooks and locks of the talisman belt!
The top of the heavy building,
Seven rays of red light are like dragons entering the sea,
Tossing and winding!
This aura of the ‘Chonglou Soaring Dragon’ is the talisman body of the ‘Red Dragon Master’!
It is a magnificent alien appearance projected into the hearts and minds of outsiders when the talismans he has cultivated all his life are revealed outside his body!
Su Wu looked at the strange appearance of the talisman figure behind the real Chilong, his eyes suddenly became dark, and there was a vague wave in his heart - he had not seen it even in the three masters and uncles of the Xuan Dynasty of Maoshan Witch. There is no such thing as a talisman body that can produce different appearances!
Today's Chilong Zhenren is the second-level "Gao Shang Shen Xiao's Edict of Pardon Treasure Chapter Three Yuan Three Officials Auxiliary Sutra Urn". With his current sutra urn level, one step further, he is the heavenly master and great immortal of all dynasties. Only now can I be taught the 'First-order Three Purities and Three Cave Sutra'!
However, sutras and professional responsibilities can only roughly reflect the practice of a Taoist priest, but they are far from reflecting the true strength of a Taoist priest.
The title of Celestial Master in Longhu Mountain has always been passed down from generation to generation among blood relatives. Those who inherit the title of Celestial Master will be awarded a first-level talisman and naturally have thousands of troops and horses in their hands. However, this does not mean how powerful these Celestial Masters are. ,
Xuan Zhao is a third-level "Shangqing Three-hole Five Thunder Sutra", which is one level higher than the fourth- and fifth-level "Shangqing Three-hole Sutra" of his two senior brothers. However, his strength is not stronger than the two senior brothers. Out a layer.
Just because he has been alive for a long time, his qualifications in the sect are getting older and older, so it is natural for him to be promoted and awarded.
As for Xuan Qing and Xuan Jue, they cultivated the 'Demon Body Seed Way' and buried themselves in the soil. Naturally, they were unable to gain experience in the sect. It was normal for Xuan Zhao to lag behind Xuan Zhao in their improvement speed.
Sutras and professional responsibilities cannot reflect the strength of a Taoist priest.
The thing that best reflects the strength of a Taoist priest is undoubtedly the talisman body!
Since Su Wu had been in contact with Master Chilong for some time, he naturally understood that Master Chilong was an extraordinary Taoist master, but he had no specific idea of how extraordinary he was.
Now I saw the other party showing off his talisman body, and the body itself had a different appearance. Only then did I realize that my master was so amazing that he had trained the talisman body into a different shape!
It was something I had never heard of or seen before!
The body of the talisman behind Master Chilong was pushed by the pattern of the avenue and slowly turned away. At this moment, the sword finger of his left hand suddenly clicked on the sword attached to the birth date of Liangzhuang.
The talisman behind him shines brightly.
Brilliant light covers the sword surface,
Under the interweaving brilliance of all kinds of talismans and the patterns of the avenue, there is a vague and gloomy figure that is blocked by many talismans. Along with the light bursting out from the body of the talisman, it is projected onto the surface of the sword!
Su Wu noticed the strange figures blocked by the heavy tower talisman.
His eyelids suddenly twitched,
Just then I heard Chilong Zhenren pointing his sword forward and saying: "Go!"
The sword was wrapped in the stream of light, soared into the air in an instant, and penetrated into the clouds, leaving no trace!
Behind Master Chilong, the strange appearance of the talisman body also disappeared suddenly. He was still wearing a half-old Taoist robe, and turned to look at Su Wu: "Next, we just need to wait for them to be frightened by the strange appearance attached to the sword and retreat. That’s it!”
Su Wu asked thoughtfully: "By the strange appearance that Master is talking about, do you mean the evil and strange appearance?"
"It is the 'Suppressing Demon Phase'." Chilong Zhenzhen said, "After the talisman's body is completed, there is no Taoist pattern and rhyme added to it. When there is no abnormality, it is called the 'maintaining the righteous phase'. The talisman's body generates different phases by itself. From now on, the image observed by the world is called the "Dao Wo Xiang". The Dao Wo Xiang is in conflict with Li Gui, and suppresses Li Gui in the body of the talisman, which is called the "Suppressing Demon Phrase".
Among these three phases, the Shou Zheng phase can be rubbed on the paper, so that later disciples can understand the context of the cultivation talisman.
The Tao and the Self contain the charm of the Tao, and those who are destined to observe it can gain enlightenment.
The demon-suppressing phase can overwhelm the enemy's mind and make them shudder at the sight of it. "
"I see." Su Wu nodded and asked again, "I have never seen such a 'Tao-self-phase' and 'Demon-suppressing phase' as Master's in other people. Think about it, it's not that easy to achieve?
What I have seen mostly is the original talisman body of many Taoist priests, which is to "keep the right appearance". "
"Of course it's not easy to achieve." Master Chilong smiled proudly, "Otherwise, why would I dare to call myself 'Zhenren'? Others can only call themselves so-and-so, Sanren, or Cave Master?"
Only by truly understanding the charm of the great road from the economics, talismans, and clouds,
Only those Taoist priests who are not hurt by the charm of the Tao, who can eliminate the waste and retain the essence, return from the "Tao" once, and experience the process of withering and regeneration of the flesh shell can achieve the "Tao Self-phase"! "
Su Wu's eyelids twitched.
He still remembered that Uncle Xuanjue once made a mistake in studying the classics and saw the 'Charm of the Great Way', which caused his flesh and blood to wither and he almost turned evil into a monster. It was also Uncle Xuanzhao who sent him to the Living Bodhisattva Cave to let him People worshiped him as a relic of the Buddha for decades, and combined with his own cultivation of the demon body cultivation method, he was able to get rid of all the evil spirits in his body and finally be able to live again.
But now we are still just hanging on!
Unexpectedly, Master Chilong truly understood the charm of the Dao and could return from the Dao, with his flesh shell ‘withering and growing again’!
Judging from Chilong's description and Master Xuanjue's experience, there should be a gap between the "spirit of the avenue" of this sect and the "spirit" that Su Wu perceived when he was in the realm of interaction between heaven and man on Dongliu Island. Several levels!
The level of the charm of the great avenue is much higher than the level of the charm of the harmony between heaven and man!
And the level of the harmony between heaven and man is much higher than that of the ‘Dao Pattern’!
I wonder which level is higher compared to the 'Complete Charm' and the 'Dao Charm'?
White light surged in the eyes of Master Chilong, and a smile appeared on his face: "It seems that they have not gone far, someone saw them -"
See them? !
Su Wu's eyes narrowed!
——
By the ferry,
The river is fast.
Liang Xiong and his son were escorted by a group of Wutou masters and waited on the river bank.
Another Master Wutou walked to the ferry and negotiated with several boatmen waiting there.
He glanced at the three or four small boats at the crossing, and a look of anxiety flashed in his eyes: "Are these three or four boats the only ones? There are so many people here, how can three or four boats be enough for us to cross the river?!"
The boatman, whose face was covered with weather marks, was wrapped in a white turban, cautiously approached the aconite master, grinned ingratiatingly and said: "Master, there are not many people crossing the river at my wild ferry every day. We have three or four boats. Here, it is actually enough to take turns pulling the local people to the other side of the river.
I didn’t expect that the teachers would cross the river from here today.
If I had known this, I would have said hello to the other boat brothers early, tied up the boat, and was here waiting for you to cross the river! "
"Can't you summon your boat brothers to come over now?" the master asked the boatman with a sullen face.
The boatman nodded repeatedly and said: "When you said you wanted to cross the river from here, I sent someone to run errands to contact other brothers - but it will probably take half an hour for them to punt here.
Look, are you waiting here for the boat to arrive?
Or should we arrange to queue up to cross the river first? "
"I'll ask the altar owner!
Just wait here, don't drag anyone else across the river! "The master shouted at the boatman, then turned around and hurriedly reported the situation to Liang Xiong. A few boatmen were left behind, nodding and bowing.
As well as the local people at the ferry carrying bags and baskets, waiting to cross the river.
The common people were silent and did not dare to have any dispute with these masters wearing black turbans. They now waited for the other party to leave before crossing the river. The worst result would be to walk a mountain road at night before they could return to their homes.
If you have a dispute with Master Wutou,
It ranges from being teased with a curse, to being directly killed by chanting a curse!
"There are so many people, and it's already half dusk when it's our turn - we'll definitely have to walk a long way home at night!" A village woman with a quick brain gathered her neighbors and said, "Let's go home together later. Let’s go, it’s hard to walk at night, but we can look after each other on the way!”
The neighbors and people nodded in agreement.
Everyone temporarily formed a team.
"Master Wutou, what should I do?" Master Wutou, who was negotiating with the boatman, reported the situation to Liang Xiong, the great master of the Tianpan Taoist altar under the black umbrella.
Liang Zhuang stood behind him, his eyes seemed to be open and closed, his four sleeves were wrapped around his lower abdomen, and he stood as tall as a zombie.
"Line up to cross the river."
Liang Xiong didn't want to wait here for a moment.
Ever since the "red and white collision" situation he set up was broken, his heart was full of ominous premonitions. In order to escape from the altar there as soon as possible, he even gave up a beautiful daughter-in-law!
How could it be possible to wait here for the gang to gather the boats?
"Zhuang'er, let's take the same boat.
Let's cross the river first!" Liang Xiong said to his son behind him.
Liang Zhuang nodded.
Women are outsiders after all.
Even though his son had a disagreement with him because of women, Liang Xiong only cared about it at the time and put it out of his mind afterwards.
