When Yun Qing returned, she was still thinking about what Jiu Huan said. Before the Shinto became glorious, there was still a long-disappeared orthodoxy in this world. This orthodoxy, which disappeared in exactly the same way as Shinto, may be the source of all monks today, and it is also the beginning of the disaster in the monastic world.
Why can practitioners cultivate the Tao
Today, there is no sense of mystery about this question, and even the most ordinary practitioners can answer it. Because after the practitioner enters the Tao, he has the Tao seed, which is like organs such as eyes and noses. Its function is to see the world's Tao, or rules.
But behind this simple question lies a deeper doubt.
Where did the Tao seed come from? How did the first group of people who tried to spy on the secrets of heaven find the way to enter the Tao? What happened a long, long time ago that made the spiritual beings embark on such a path of understanding the laws of heaven and manipulating the supreme power
This is the first time that Yun Qing began to understand the current monastic world from the deepest point of view. She slowly conceived the hundreds of thousands of years of ups and downs in the entire monastic world in her mind, trying to recover some clear clues from it.
She couldn't explain why the Dao Seed suddenly appeared, so she could only imagine that on a certain day 200,000 years ago, the apocalypse appeared in the world.
After the apocalypse, a very small number of spiritual beings were endowed with Dao Seeds. They began to use Dao Seeds to understand and comprehend the rules of this world, and obtained unimaginably powerful power from the heaven and earth. This kind of power allows them to survive in a cruel environment, protects their own race, enables life to continue, and civilization to survive.
But they soon discover that this power has a limit.
No matter how powerful the dao seed is, it is impossible to compare with the rules of heaven, so those that should die will still die, and those that cannot be kept will still be unable to stay. But all living beings with spirits are greedy. The original practitioners were not reconciled. They could not accept the fact that they were still subject to the rules of the Dao after possessing great power, so they began to try to break through the limitations of the Dao Seed itself.
Entering the Tao obtains the Dao seed, and the Dao seed grows to form the Dao stem. When the Dao stem is enriched to the limit, there is no way ahead.
This limit must be exceeded.
The practitioners at that time were at the end of their way, so they racked their brains and did everything for this.
Later, there was the unity of all dharmas, and the transformation of all Dao into one's own Dao, which is what is now called the Harmonious Dao in the world of Taoism. Turn the things of the way of heaven into the practitioners' own things, open up a new road at the end of the road, and give birth to a new life at the end of life.
Things that cannot be accommodated by the Dao stem will turn into Dao fruits, and after the Dao fruits decay, they will become Dao seeds again. In this cycle, the world of Taoism gradually moves towards a magnificent and prosperous age.
It's just that the good times didn't last long, and the great orthodoxy that carried countless ascetics' dreams of longevity disappeared in an instant.
Disappeared completely, without leaving a trace, as if it never existed.
The practitioners at that time may have fallen into panic, but time quickly wiped out this little panic compared to "eternal immortality", and new orthodoxy is rapidly rising. The two orthodox lineages of gods and demons should be rising stars. After so many years of exploration, they have finally completed the road of unity. The people of the Great Consummation ascended to the position of Biluo Huangquan, shoulder to shoulder with the way of heaven, but they still couldn't get out of it.
Not enough, the practitioners at that time felt that it was not enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with the way of heaven.
After joining the Dao, there must be a certain way to go, keep going, and walk out of the shadow of the Dao of Heaven.
They have to find it.
Yun Qing didn't know if the gods and demons at that time had found this way, but she knew that just at the time when the two ways of gods and demons were at their most brilliant, disaster struck again.
This time it was the divine way that disappeared, and the demonic way probably also suffered a lot, so he retreated to the realm of no delusional demons and never asked about worldly affairs again.
But the demise of these two orthodoxy can't stop the practitioners' determination to explore the road. They have opened up countless methods of practice and created various orthodoxy. The era when gods and demons confront each other and perform their own duties has passed, and the world of monasticism has gradually stepped into a real contention among a hundred schools of thought and a struggle between ten thousand methods.
From what Yun Qing has learned, the saints of several major traditions are doing the same thing as gods and demons. They are trying to break through the current way of cultivating Taoism and open up another path after joining the Tao. The Heart Sutra of Rebirth created by the Buddhist and Taoist saints should be produced in this process, but it is a pity that he failed to completely break through the way of heaven. There is also the human saint Jingli, and even the ghost saint who has never met a few times, they are all exploring in this area.
Today's saints stand at the pinnacle of all practitioners, and are working hard to break through this pinnacle.
But this catastrophe is coming again.
At this time, Yun Qing had already flown over the South China Sea, with thousands of hectares of blue waves rolling below, and thousands of miles of dark clouds surging above. There is an empty space between the vast sky and the earth, and the small figures between the water and the sky are like a lone boat and a leaf, like a drop in the ocean.
She suddenly stopped her footsteps, feeling a little emotional for some reason: "For every inch that the road extends forward, there are countless sages buried on the road. This 'eternal immortality' really makes everyone desperate A taboo to pursue."
The reason why those orthodoxy will disappear is probably because they have violated this taboo field, right
What the spirits of heaven and earth should not expect is eternity.
"See Huangquan Demon Lord!"
A loud dragon chant came from far away from the south, and there was a demon youth standing on the dragon's head. He held his sword as a salute from a long distance, and said loudly to Yun Qing: "Demon Venerable, I kept you waiting!"
"I've just arrived here too, and I thought I'd have to wait a while, but I didn't expect you to come here so fast." Yun Qing smiled at him, "Jianchen, you've improved your cultivation, it's very good."
The swordsman scratched his head in embarrassment, he jumped off Long Huai's head, and then said: "The demon king is over the top, what is my little cultivation..."
"Your cultivation is really not very good, but your temperament can still catch my eyes. It's a pity that I can't pass on the orthodox inheritance of the Six Paths Yan Mozong to you..." There was no regret in Yun Qing's words.
It was the first time for Jianchen to be praised so bluntly by the Demon Lord of Huangquan. He quickly lowered his head and remained silent, not knowing what to do. He felt that Huangquan Mozun's eyes fell on him, with a sense of scrutiny.
All direct disciples have to go through the trial of the magic map, and Yun Qing can only teach him the orthodox inheritance when his magic pattern appears on the magic map. However, the sword minister has stayed in the Wuxu Demon Realm for so many years without any movement from the Demon Map, so it is estimated that his hope of becoming a direct disciple is very slim. But it doesn't matter if you can't practice the direct inheritance of the magic way, you can always find a place to put him.
Yun Qing looked him up and down several times, before saying after a long time: "You go to Guiling Temple to find Buddhist and Taoist saints."
"Ah?" Jian Chen's scalp was numb when she saw him, but he didn't react to Yun Qing's sudden words.
"Go to the Buddhist and Taoist saints, he lacks people, and you lack inheritance, it's just right." Yun Qing said briefly.
Jianchen thought she was joking. But Venerable Huang Quan spent so much effort to send a message from the Tongtian Divine Vessel to the Realm of Immortality, and invited him and Long Huai to the South China Sea, it couldn't be just for a joke!
"This..." Jian Chen hesitated for a long time. The Demon Sect of the Six Paths of Enlightenment is orthodox in the way of magic, and nothing can tolerate disciples worshiping other sects, even if he is just an ordinary inner sect disciple. Besides, who are Buddhist and Taoist saints? He really has the guts to betray Yan Mozong of the Six Paths and climb to Zizai Cliff to worship under his old man's family, and he may not accept it!
"Just go." Yun Qing waved his hand, so that he didn't need to say more, "I will settle the situation in the realm of no delusion and demons. You can just find a Buddhist and Taoist sage and ask him to teach you the Heart Sutra of Rebirth."
The swordsman felt dizzy when he heard Huangquan Mozun said that he would help him settle the Wuhuang Demon Realm, and he was even more surprised when he heard the "Heart Sutra of Rebirth": "What is that?"
"It's also orthodox." Yun Qing thought for a while, and her smile was slightly cold, "It looks like a method of both Buddha and demon."
"...!?" The swordsman had never heard of this kind of method, but seeing that the Netherworld Demon Venerable really did not seem to be fake, so he could only explain it with his own ignorance.
"Long Huai, you take the swordsman to Guiling Temple, and after he arrives there, you don't have to go back to the Realm of Immortality."
Long Huai transformed into a human form at once, and said angrily, "Are you driving me away?"
"No, I'm just looking for a place for you to support temporarily. I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you in the future." Yun Qing smiled wryly, and Long Huai was immediately intimidated by her.
"What's wrong with you? Will something happen?" Long Huai asked sensitively, "It's okay, I can help you if I stay."
Yun Qing shook her head: "Be obedient, go to the Hundred Thousand Mountains to find the Yaozu, if you can cultivate the Nine Tribulations True Dragon, it will be considered a great favor to me."
The alien beasts of heaven and earth can also practice like humans, and they can even survive the catastrophe like practitioners when they reach a certain age. But most of the strange beasts chose to hide in an empty corner, after all, crossing the catastrophe is not a very safe thing. The true dragon of the Nine Tribulations needs to be punished by the sky nine times, and each calamity is a rebirth. After surviving, the blood of the real dragon will become purer. After the Nine Tribulations, it may be comparable to the ancestor of the true dragon who was invincible in ancient times .
Qingchuan Mountain Mansion must know better than Yun Qing on this path, and the situation of the demon saints is very similar to the Buddhist saints-they both have inheritance in their hands, but unfortunately no one inherits it. If Long Huai can seize this opportunity, maybe he will soar into the sky.
"Clarify what's the matter." Long Huai asked persistently, she was not as easy to fool as Jian Chen, and she would not let Yun Qing go without asking why.
"There will be great chaos in the realm of no delusion." Yun Qing sighed, "It's better for you to stay as far away from the devil's way as possible, and don't act rashly when you hear any rumors in the future. When I straighten out the things over there, I will naturally guide you back. Demon Realm."
Long Huai wanted to ask again, but seeing Yun Qing's serious expression, he had no choice but to give up: "What if you can't handle it?"
"No." Yun Qing comforted her in a good voice.
"What if?"
"It's nothing in case."
"It's better not." Looking at Yun Qing's calm face, Long Huai felt anger welling up. She instantly transformed into a golden dragon, and shouted at the swordsman who was listening to them honestly, "Get out of here quickly!" Come up!"
The swordsman looked at Yun Qing and then at Long Huai, he was dragged far away as soon as one leg stepped onto the dragon's back.
His trembling voice came from a distance: "Mozun, take care! Swordsman will miss you! Ah...!!"
