LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 51 Foreshadowing
The little girl here should also be a cultivator, and she has the aura of magical power. However, her cultivation is shallow and she doesn't have much knowledge, but she can't tell her specific cultivation.
After thinking for a moment, he did not dare to neglect, and quickly led the two of them to a side hall, where distinguished guests were received.
After tea was served, Ye Wentian chatted with the old Taoist priest and introduced each other's names. This old Taoist may rarely meet monks, but he couldn't stop talking when he met a fellow Taoist. He talked a lot and even talked about the past. .
Ye Wentian also learned that this old Taoist was originally named Huo Qingshan. He was originally a son of a local wealthy family. Later, due to poor business management, his family fell into decline. He experienced many things and became tired of the world of mortals.
When he was still in his early twenties, he refused his family's invitation to stay and went to the Erlang Temple alone to become a Taoist priest. At that time, there were still a few monks in the temple who knew some rudimentary magic.
The old Taoist also yearned for immortality, so he became his teacher to the abbot of the temple. He gave up his original name and changed it to the Taoist name Xuan Qing. However, the end of the Dharma had come, it was difficult to cultivate Taoism, and there was no specific cultivation method in the temple.
The old Taoist Xuanqing could only follow the words of his master, chant sutras quietly, worship God, and slowly comprehend. It was not until he was forty years old that he realized the power of the magic. He had stayed in Erlang Temple for more than forty years. The abbot and several monks passed away one after another. He took over the position of abbot from his master and has been practicing it ever since.
With the power of magic, I yearn for cultivating immortality. However, after practicing for more than 20 years, I am still stuck in the early stage of acquired life. Knowing that Ye Wentian is only sixteen years old and has already achieved acquired perfection, I was shocked at that time. If it were not for the sake of face and The age difference between the two made old Taoist Xuan Qing want to become a disciple directly.
In Ye Wentian's view, this old Taoist Xuan Qing has an upright appearance, a full-bodied personality, a gentle personality, and his character must be good. He is over sixty years old because of his cultivation, so he looks no more than fifty, and his Taoist robes also have a trace of His celestial spirit makes people feel good about him.
This time I came to Sichuan to settle the karma of my previous life. I will need help from someone in the future. This old Taoist Xuan Qing's Taoist heart is written all over his face. So what if I promise a chance?
After thinking about it for a while, Ye Wentian made a decision and said with some seriousness:
"I already know your heart for the Tao, and I can also give you the skills to practice."
"Really?!" Xuan Qing's eyes flashed with hope.
"You don't have to worship me as your teacher, you just need to do one thing for me."
"What's the matter?" Old Taoist Xuan Qing is not someone who has no scruples for strength and longevity. If what Ye Wentian said would violate his own principles as a human being, then it's okay not to practice this method.
Ye Wentian was in such a state of mind. He could see what Xuan Qing was thinking at a glance. He smiled slightly and said:
"I won't let you do anything that goes against your heart. If you can break through to the perfect state of acquired perfection before your lifespan is exhausted, you can enjoy three years of life.
I just need you to pay attention to a new Taoist temple on Zuowang Peak in Qingcheng Mountain fifty years from now. The temple’s owner is named Mo Wenxuan.
If you find out the news, I will come when the time comes. If you cannot break through the acquired perfection before your life span is exhausted, this matter will be dropped, and I will choose another candidate. "
Mo Wenxuan was the old Taoist priest who raised him in his previous life. The cause and effect of his upbringing was definitely not comparable to a single cultivation method.
Although this world is not the world of the previous life, it is very similar. Perhaps the Mo Wenxuan here is no longer the Mo Wenxuan he knows, and the cause and effect cannot be connected.
If you can find such a person, and there is indeed such a person, it wouldn't hurt to come and repay it yourself. Although you can't repay the cause and effect of the previous life, you can also torture your heart and untie the knot in your heart.
Besides, it is still unknown whether there is such a person. He used the method of cultivation in exchange for Xuan Qing to inquire about Mo Wenxuan. He just followed his thoughts and laid a foreshadowing in advance.
After hearing this, Old Taoist Xuan Qing felt that this matter was not against his heart, and then solemnly nodded in agreement.
Ye Wentian pinched out a passage from the Taoist Scriptures and turned it into a practice technique, which was somewhat similar to Uncle Jiu's practice technique. They focused on cultivating the soul. He didn't give it a name. He passed it directly to Xuan Qing, the old Taoist, and explained it to him. key points.
Master Xuan Qing listened carefully like a child who had just started studying. He listened carefully with curiosity and yearning, and tried hard to remember with a humbly seeking advice. Even though Ye Wentian said that there was no need to become a disciple, Master Xuan Qing still stood aside and performed the teacher's ceremony.
The Taoist Scriptures are the result of Ye Wentian's extensive reading of Taoist scriptures and their transformation through the blessing and fusion of the will of the world. The mysteries in them are unfathomable. Although it is only a short section of the cultivation techniques that have been transformed into them, it is not that simple.
Ye Zixuan listened attentively to the side. Although he was not talking about the Qinglian Taoist secrets, he still had some understanding by drawing parallels.
In fact, regardless of the Taoist scriptures or the cultivation methods in this world, whether you are cultivating the body, cultivating the soul, or cultivating the three bodies together, in the end you will reach the same goal through different paths, seeking your own transformation.
After this experience, Ye Wentian and Ye Zixuan rested for the night at Erlang Temple and left the next day. Xuan Qing, the Taoist priest, sent the two to the main road beside the Minjiang River as a gift before turning back.
Ye Wentian took Ye Zixuan towards the direction of Qingcheng Mountain. The distance between the two places was only fifty kilometers. After walking for half an afternoon, they reached the foot of the mountain.
Qingcheng Mountain has a long history. According to legend, Ning Fengzi, the son of Huangdi Xuanyuan, lived in Qingcheng Mountain to practice Taoism. He taught the Yellow Emperor the "Dragon Ascension Technique" to control the wind and clouds. The Yellow Emperor built an altar to worship him as the "father-in-law of the five mountains", so later generations also called Qingcheng Mountain the father-in-law of the five mountains. .
And built a temple (father-in-law's temple) to commemorate. In ancient times, together with Wudang Mountain, Longhu Mountain, Qiyun Mountain and Jingfu Mountain, they were collectively known as the Five Fairy Mountains. Each worships Emperor Zhenwu Dangmo, Ning Fengzhenjun, father-in-law of the Five Sacred Mountains, Jade Emperor Haotian, Tianzun who subdues demons and protects the way, and Tianzun Guangyuan Pudu.
At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Yin Changsheng, known as one of the "Eight Immortals of Sichuan", went to Qingcheng Mountain to practice Taoism. But it was Zhang Daoling who truly established Qingcheng Mountain as a famous Taoist mountain.
In the early years of Emperor Shun of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he went to Heming Mountain to practice Taoism and founded the Five Pecks of Rice Tao, also known as the Tianshi Tao.Heming Mountain and Qingcheng Mountain both belong to the ancient Minshan Mountains. Zhang Daoling first came from Heming Mountain to Jiemao in Qingcheng Mountain to preach, and he became immortal and ascended here.
The Five Pecks of Rice Tao founded by Zhang Daoling is also called Tianshi Tao, so it is also called Zhang Tianshi. He is the founder of Tianshi Tao in Longhu Mountain. The title of Tianshi was passed down from Zhang Daoling. The head of Tianshi Tao in every generation is Zhang Tianshi. , Tianshi Dao has been controlled by Zhang Daoling's descendants from ancient times to the present.
Qingcheng Mountain is the holy land of the Quanzhen Longmen Sect (but this is not the Longmen Sect, it is just the Quanzhen Taoism, and this is not the ancestral court of the Longmen Sect. The ancestral court of the Longmen Sect is in Peiping, and this is one of the ancestral homes of Taoism). The Taoist priests inside They all practice Quanzhen Taoism, which is passed down from master to disciple. They usually become disciples from childhood and grow up in Taoist temples. Quanzhen teachings are a monastic system.
The practice mainly focuses on alchemy skills, and also cultivates external alchemy talismans. It advocates dual cultivation of human nature and life, first cultivating nature, and then cultivating life.
He believes that cultivating one's nature and cultivating one's nature is the only correct path for Taoist practice. Only by eliminating emotions and desires, clarifying one's nature and seeing the Tao, and making the mind peaceful can one return to his original simplicity, realize the Tao and become an immortal.It is stipulated that Taoist priests must become monks and live in meditation, strictly abide by the precepts, and benefit themselves and others.
