After Shen Lian finished saying this, everyone was waiting for them to think about it. After a moment, his eyelids suddenly moved and he said to Tongzi Jingqing below: "Tonger, go outside the mountain gate and bring someone in."
Jingqing bowed his head from below, and then asked, "What does the person the Master asked me to pick up look like?"
Shen Lian smiled faintly, stretched out his hand and pointed in the air, and there was a clear water. It was sparkling at first, and the figures in it were blurred, and then became as smooth as a mirror, and all the figures became clear.
Everyone could see that this was exactly the scene outside the mountain gate. I secretly thought that when the Taoist master used this kind of magical power, he did not need a medium, he formed a spiritual guide out of thin air, he was gentle and did not touch the fireworks. Even if he had not yet attained immortality, he might still be a bit different.
As for why they think Shen Lian has not yet achieved the path to immortality, it is because he has broken through illusions, cultivated his soul, and become an immortal being. The movement is huge and cannot be concealed from others.
They already knew that Shen Lian had not left the mountain a year ago, but was practicing in a forbidden area inside the door. Before that, there was no movement in the door that would occur when a real person achieved immortality.
These thoughts were like lightning flashes in the hearts of all the cultivators present, they passed by and were not worth mentioning. They all looked towards Po Qinghong. Under the mountain gate, there was a middle-aged man, dressed in ragged clothes and covered in travel dust, who was asking questions.
Even through the magic of seeing and hearing from the sky, everyone could tell that this was an out-and-out mortal.
As far as cultivators are concerned, if there is no movement of the orifice and no condensation of magic power, they can be regarded as mortals, so there is no difference. On the other hand, although this middle-aged man has a heavy-looking face, he has the look of someone who has experienced the vicissitudes of life.
Those eyes seemed to have been washed away, and they looked like they had returned to their original nature, but they could also be regarded as the seeds of spiritual cultivation.
This is enough to prove how powerful Shen Lian's casual spell is, allowing them to see so much.
Jingqing boy saw it clearly, so he took the order and left.
After Shen Lian ordered Jing Qing to go out, he continued to preach.
Recently, he has gradually integrated what he has learned, especially after he began to understand the Five Elements. He feels that this path is deep and endless, but everything in the world seems to be summarized in the Five Elements.
He still took a different path from Zi Ling. Instead of understanding the changes of yin and yang, he focused on the five elements.
It's just that the practice of the Five Elements Dao is not simple. He can use the essence of the Five Elements to come out and develop many magical powers. However, the elixir in his body also turns into the Five Elements. When activated, it is like carrying the weight of a mountain, and it is difficult to control it like an arm.
Even if his cultivation is now only a layer of window paper away from cutting through the illusion, it will be difficult to activate the most original elixir energy.
He can still transform the powerful elixir energy into the Five Elements Essence or the Eight Taixu Qi, which can be used to perform thousands of spells and comprehend infinite wonderful ways. Because the Five Elements Avenue is unfathomable, he can use these magical powers far better than before. Now that he faced Yanxu again, even if it was hard to say he would win, at least he wouldn't be embarrassed.
As for cutting through the illusion, it is actually a matter of course for him, but it still needs an opportunity.
Shen Lian didn't force anything, he just let nature take its course.
He had read a lot of books in Taiwei Pavilion, and his knowledge was very far-reaching, so his sermons also focused on Qingxuan's Taoism. Qingxuan's one hundred and eight methods are all Taoist exercises, which are subtle and mysterious. The root of them is not power, but the pursuit of Tao and longevity.
It's just that the predecessors left the method behind. Later, every disciple with amazing talent came up with new ideas, so that every Taoist technique was constantly supplemented and perfected over the long years.
Therefore, the longer a Taoist secret is passed down and the more disciples practice it, the more mysterious it will naturally become.
Therefore, although Qingxuan's 108 Dharma are divided into Tiangang's thirty-six Dharma and Disha's seventy-two Dharma, in fact which Taoist formulas are in Tiangang Dharma and which Taoist formulas are in Disha Dharma are not set in stone.
For example, Chen Jianmei practices the "Invisible Sword Technique" among the seventy-two methods of Disha. However, his peerless talent can only be used as a reference for the sword intention of the Yuanqing Patriarch. If he acquires the method and abandons it, if he can become an immortal person in the future, This invisible sword art will inevitably be deduced by him to the level of Tiangang method, and it will squeeze out a certain Taoist art that originally belongs to Tiangang method.
Therefore, although there is some gap between the Tiangang Method and the Disha Method in terms of power and understanding of the Tao, the more powerful the Tao Technique is, the better. Just as "Taixu Divine Strategy" is the best in the world, it is extremely difficult to practice and requires more Success depends on chance, and enlightenment is difficult, so it is naturally not suitable for most people.
Moreover, if each Taoist secret is passed on to more people, it will be passed on for a longer time and will be continuously improved. However, it will also become more difficult for subsequent generations of disciples to practice, because everyone's experience, understanding, and physique are different. If you provide a lot of help, you may later fall into what Buddhism calls the barrier of knowledge and vision, which will be a big obstacle to Huandan and entering the Tao.
Of course, this does not mean that the experience of senior teachers is not advisable, but it is a great test of one's moral integrity to be able to choose.
Among other sects, most of them can only wait for their disciples to pass this level on their own. After all, most of the other Immortal Sect disciples’ teachers themselves cannot fully understand the Taoist secrets of cultivation, and the experiences they speak of may not be as good as those of others. The records left by the predecessors.
Shen Lian was not that capable of thoroughly understanding all the 108 methods, but he preached in a different way.
Because everything in the world cannot escape the five elements, so when he talked about various Taoist secrets and methods, he also divided them into the five elements. The Five Elements divides all things in the universe into five properties, rather than the simple five substances of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
Therefore, in each Tao method and Tao formula, Shen Lian can tell the Tao of the Five Elements contained in it, and elucidate it without going into details. It makes a world of difference in the hearts of the elders and disciples, thus giving rise to a different understanding of the Taoism they practice and improving their understanding of practice.
Of course, it is impossible for Shen Lian to give a sermon and make some people suddenly enlightened and become elixirs instantly. Because the enlightenment of any practitioner actually comes from the accumulation of many years in the past.
Finally, because of an opportunity, his foundation exploded and he made rapid progress.
There is no shortcut to spiritual practice. If there is a shortcut, it must be more dangerous.
When he was teaching the Dharma at the perfect moment, a snake carrying a man came through the clouds and smoke. It was the middle-aged man outside the mountain gate, Qi Sanguang, who had been a temple priest at the Valley Temple. Speaking of which, he was also a descendant of Qi Sanwen, and had a close relationship with Qingxuan.
Qi Sanguang landed on the top of Taiyi Peak with the clear scenery, but he could see the mist here scattered and the sun and moon shaking. But there are no fairy palaces, golden towers, beautiful buildings and jade buildings.
He recognized Shen Lian, who was sitting on a green lotus in the clouds, uttering mysterious sounds. Although he didn't understand a word, Qi Sanguang didn't dare to make any mistakes. He traveled thousands of mountains and rivers, drifted across the sea, and came here just for the sake of eternal life.
After a long time, I have suffered countless hardships, and it is not less than this time and a half, so I sit down quietly and listen to Xuanyin.
