Chapter 388 The shock of 5,000 years of culture
Chen Wang said: "I don't know what the disciple should do, so the elder can teach me the method of spiritual consciousness."
Elder Bai said: "This method of divine consciousness cannot be used at the Qi training stage, unless it is the foundation building stage. Are you in the foundation building stage?"
Chen Wang nodded: "Exactly."
When Elder Bai heard this, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes, but he suppressed it immediately.
"Practice is pretty good."
Elder Bai said,
"No one has come to my place for a long time. It's rare for a little guy like you to come here, and I don't want to make things difficult for you."
"You want my teachings, so you have to give me the book in exchange. We don't owe each other anything."
Chen Wang nodded: "Elder Bai is talking about practice skills or magic techniques?"
Mr. Wuliu shook his head: "None of them. What I mean is the classics in the world. As long as you can come up with a book that I haven't read that is classic enough, I will teach you. How about it?"
Chen Wang was stunned for a moment: "Can I exchange it for spiritual stones?"
Elder Bai shook his head and glanced at him, his eyes seemed to say,
Little brother, what do you think?
Chen Wang took a look and saw that there were so many books hidden inside.
"Where can I find him a classic he hasn't read?"
Chen Wang thought.
Elder Bai waved his hand,
"I've told you the method. It's up to you how to do it. Come to me when you can get the classic book I want."
This elder Bai has a weird temperament.
Chen Wang tried to win his favor before, but now it seems that he has won it, and the conditions he proposed are relatively reliable, but this mundane classic...
Chen Wang recalled it carefully.
The history of this world is different from the history of the world I lived in before traveling through time. Although there are also subsets of scriptures and histories, as well as some myths and legends, they are just not the same.
And he did read a lot of books before traveling through time.
After he established the foundation, his soul became stronger, and he practiced the Clay Pill Preservation Art every day, and some memories in his mind became clearer.
There were even some sporadic memories that had long been forgotten in the corner of my mind, but were later remembered.
Chen Wang took a deep breath, tried hard to recall, and then left temporarily.
Before leaving, he took a deep look at Elder Bai.
"Old man, let me let you feel the shock of five thousand years of history!"
After he returned, he met Wang Yue.
Wang Yue asked with a smile: "How is it? Is it done?"
Chen Wang shook his head: "He had a very bad attitude and was very rude to you. I argued with him and almost got kicked out by him."
Wang Yue was greatly moved: "Good brother!"
Master and disciple on the surface, brothers secretly, the two of them really get along well.
Wang Yue said: "It's okay. That old boy has a weird temperament. It's expected that he insists on not teaching you."
Chen Wang nodded: "Elder Bai asked me to exchange it for a secular classic that he has never read. I also read some books in my hometown, so I wrote it down silently and gave it to him to see if it works."
Wang Yue said: "He has traveled to many places, and many classics have been included in them. You have also seen his cave. The enlightenment books you read when you were a child may not be able to catch his eye."
If he can't get in, I'll give him my head!
Chen Wang smiled and said, "It's up to people. I'll give it a try."
Wang Yue patted his shoulder and said, "Go ahead."
Chen Wang then returned to the room and took out the pen and paper.
There were some books that Chen Wang had memorized originally, but as he got older, he gradually couldn't remember the full text, and those memories gradually began to be forgotten.
But now that Chen Wang has established his foundation, his consciousness has become more powerful. He is now standing in front of the table, recalling the memories in his mind one by one.
This feeling is very strange,
Some things that had been forgotten suddenly became clear at this time, which made people feel very strange.
After Chen Wang recalled it, he wrote it down eloquently.
After writing it, he bound it into a book and then got up and went to Elder Bai's Scripture Pavilion.
The burly elder Bai was stunned for a moment after seeing Chen Wang.
"Why did you, a junior, come back so quickly? Don't have any evil intentions."
Chen Wang smiled and said: "How dare I have any evil thoughts? I just studied a classic when I was young. I wrote it down silently and brought it to Elder Bai."
Elder Bai smiled and said,
"Studying at a young age? That is not enlightenment reading. You must know that I have traveled to various countries and been to many places. I am afraid that your enlightenment reading will not be able to reach my eyes."
Chen Wang smiled and said,
"Elder Bai, let's take a look first and then talk."
Unless this old guy is a liar and doesn't keep his word.
He handed the book over. There was a cover on the scroll, but no words.
Elder Bai did not dwell on these details.
He called himself Mr. Wuliu, and he also liked these classics and historical books, and was extremely interested in these common knowledge.
Moreover, he is not limited to a certain family and has hundreds of schools of thought. He is proficient in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.
If he were not in the Immortal Cultivation Sect, he would still be a literary giant in the secular world.
At this time, he took the book Chen Wang gave him and read a few sentences, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"The Tao can be Tao, but it is very Tao; the name can be named, but it is very famous."
The reason why classics are called classics is that they can still resonate with people after thousands of years.
What's more, he is also a cultivator of immortality, so he is naturally greatly touched by this Taoist classic.
Elder Bai's eyes lit up, he cheered up, and then read on word by word.
"The Tao can be Tao, but it is not Tao. The name can be named, but it is not named.
Nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth, Named, the mother of all things.
Therefore, always have no desire in order to observe its wonderfulness, and always have desire in order to observe its pleasure.
These two have the same origin but different names. They are both called xuan. "
Just reading this, the old man's body trembled a little, and his eyes glowed,
He couldn't help but tremblingly said: "Is this your childhood enlightenment book?"
Mr. Wu Liu was a little excited, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Chen Wang nodded and said: "It is said to be an enlightenment reading, but it was actually given to my father by a wandering Taoist. He said that I was destined to the Tao and would definitely set foot on the immortal gate in the future, so he gave this classic to me for me to recite it all the time."
Elder Bai immediately believed Chen Wang's words.
His breathing was a little rapid at this time,
The old man rarely behaved like this.
Reading can nourish your energy,
He has been studying here for so many years, and his Qi cultivation skills are extremely high. He does not change his expression even if Mount Tai collapses in front of him, but at this time, he is a little unable to control himself.
"Okay, okay!"
The old man said loudly.
After seeing it, ordinary people may only think that the writing is good, or even think that the writing is difficult and obscure and cannot be understood.
But when a literary giant like him saw this Tao Te Ching, he was immediately impressed.
The things in it gave him a lot of insights, and the feeling was different every time he read a sentence.
He only read half of the Tao Te Ching before he sat down with excitement and continued reading mesmerically.
After reading the entire Tao Te Ching, the old man was still immersed in it and couldn't extricate himself.
The old man Bai was in tears,
"I didn't expect that I would read such a classic at this age. No, this is not a common classic at all. This is the Tao!"
Elder Bai was very excited at this time and could not calm down for a long time.
Chen Wang was extremely patient, and he had been waiting quietly.
This old man has been here all his life.
Ordinary cultivators might look at him as a deviant.
But he has his own preferences, and he has successfully established his foundation early, so what does it mean to do something he likes?
He held Chen Wang's hand and said excitedly: "Little friend, you and I are really destined. If it weren't for you, how could I be so virtuous and capable as to read this great message!"
"I have been studying behind closed doors in this mountain for a long time, but I can't read these five thousand words as much as I did today."
The white-haired old man sighed.
Chen Wang cupped his hands and said, "If you don't sincerely study, people who seek the Tao will not have such insights after seeing these five thousand words, and it is not possible for ordinary people to understand this Tao."
"A sergeant hears the Tao and practices it diligently. In my opinion, Elder Bai is a sergeant."
This elder Bai has an eccentric temperament and doesn't like to hear flattery at all. Even if you show kindness to him, he will disdain it.
The qualities that Chen Wang showed earlier made his eyes shine.
It is extremely rare not to hide one's origin because of some personal interests and allow others to insult one's teacher. It is an extremely rare quality in the world of immortality today.
But that's all, it's just some appreciation.
But Chen Wang's words now really scratched Elder Bai's itch.
It’s not that scholars don’t like flattery, but they need some skills in flattery.
"Am I a sergeant?"
Elder Bai's face glowed red and he laughed.
"When a superior man hears the Tao, he practices it diligently; when a sergeant hears the Tao, he lives or perishes; when a junior man hears the Tao, he laughs. If you don't laugh, you are not enough to practice the Tao."
"My little friend, you and I encourage each other."
Elder Bai laughed, extremely happy.
…………
Elder Bai received this Tao Te Ching as if he had obtained a treasure, and read it with great concentration.
When Chen Wang left him, he also gained a lot.
He couldn't suppress his smile at all.
He learned a method of spiritual consciousness fighting from Elder Bai.
It's called Liuhe Heart Refining Mantra.
Elder Bai not only passed on this method to him, but also taught him some of its key points and experiences.
After teaching him for two hours, Chen Wang was allowed to leave.
He was indeed a man of faith, and he did not hide anything secretly from Chen Wang because he was eager to read the Tao Te Ching.
He taught Chen Wang the essentials of the Liuhe Heart Refining Curse, which saved Chen Wang a lot of detours. He could get started quickly and exert the effect of the Liuhe Heart Refining Curse more quickly.
"Free prostitution makes people happy."
Before Chen Wang came, he had planned to pay a large amount of spiritual stones or exchange some treasures.
But I didn't expect that in the end, I could get this method of spiritual consciousness fighting just by relying on a Tao Te Ching in my mind.
Returning to Qingzhu Peak, Chen Wang told Wang Yue the news, and Wang Yue was a little surprised.
"So simple?"
Chen Wang said: "Elder Bai likes secular classics. It happened that the classic I studied was something he had never read, so he taught me."
Wang Yue was not interested in books. He was just a little relieved that his little brother might be able to prosper in the sect even without his protection.
"Even Lao Bai can handle it. You have a bright future."
"When I was young, I wanted to ask him for this Liuhe Heart Refining Mantra, but it didn't work with all my efforts and many brains. I didn't expect you to learn it."
Chen Wang said: "One drink after another, it's destiny."
Wang Yue said: "What I said before is correct. Use your spiritual consciousness to crush it directly. It is the easiest, just attack directly."
Chen Wang said: "This method is quite difficult. Although Elder Bai told me some tips, I am still a little unsure for a while. I hope Brother Wang can help me and practice together."
Wang Yue smiled and said: "Okay."
He sighed in his heart,
"This kid is really smart. If nothing goes wrong with the sect, let him take over Guo Tianci's job, maybe he will do better."
Chen Wang didn't know that his elder brother had silently compared him to the sect master.
He didn't hide anything and told Wang Yue the tips and methods of practicing the Liuhe Refining Heart Mantra.
Wang Yue's qualifications are much better than his.
He was the first to learn the Five Thunder Method and told him some of the tips.
However, when practicing the Liuhe Refining Heart Mantra, Chen Wang's speed was not slow.
When the relationship is weak, you can negotiate conditions, be calculative, and have clear interests. When the relationship is deep, you have to have me in you and you in me,
so that the relationship is solid enough.
Elder Bai has practiced this spell very deeply, and has told Wang Yue some of his experience. In fact, he no longer needs Wang Yue to teach him.
But he said so, not letting Wang Yue accept his kindness.
In the next few days, Chen Wang has been practicing this Liuhe Refining Heart Spell.
But he heard a piece of news that Elder Bai, who had been guarding the Sutra Pavilion at the East Gate for sixty years, had left.
This news was brought back by Wang Yue.
Chen Wang is relatively isolated from the news.
He has no friends in the sect, and he doesn't interact with other mountains.
Wang Yue is different. Although his interpersonal relationships are extremely poor, he likes to wander around.
Therefore, he knows some news faster.
Wang Yue sighed: "Studying in the mountains for sixty years, the ground is drawn as a prison. I thought he would die of old age in the cave in this life, but I didn't expect him to leave. It seems that what you said to him that day really worked, and it made Lao Bai's state of mind reach a higher level."
Wang Yue was somewhat relieved.
Chen Wang thought to himself, "That's the Tao Te Ching. It's not surprising to read something from it."
He could sit in the back mountain for a decade, read in the cave, build a scripture pavilion, collect classics, history, and secular classics, but no one came to read them. However, this old man was still happy to do it.
Although his behavior may seem a little strange, the way of cultivating immortals is different for different people. Isn't he walking his own way?
Now that he has left, I don't know if Mr. Wu Liu will go further when the deadline is approaching.
The departure of Mr. Wu Liu did not cause any waves. His presence was too low.
And only a few people knew that he knew the Six Combinations Refining Heart Mantra.
Ordinary disciples only regarded him as an elder with a strange temperament and a strange temper, who didn't care about worldly affairs.
But in the past few days, a distinguished guest came to the sect.
This is a Taoist in black clothes, with a strange face and a body like pine and cypress.
Longshou Mountain, Xuanji Zhenren
This real person entered the Hongyun Sect in a high-profile manner, which for a moment left some of the surrounding forces and the Xuanyin Sect completely confused.
