Shen Lian was silent for a long time, with many thoughts, and finally said: "At the last step of the Nine Lotus Sutra, you will naturally obtain the 'wonderful existence of the vacuum' and practice it to achieve immortal spiritual light. You seek it from outside. Although you have taken a shortcut, you will be able to do it in the future." The road is further away.”
Chao Xiaoyu smiled and said, "I live in the moment."
Shen Lian nodded. That's it. Why say more? If you choose the path you choose, you should have no regrets if you make a mistake.
Besides, there are too many mysterious things about Chao Xiaoyu.
Since everyone in Luo Jiao was concerned about life and death, Shen Lian immediately went to the altar to lecture. Everything he says and does, up to this point, is unpredictable and mysterious. What is explained is not the true teaching of Taoism, but the wonderful way of vacuum existence.
Different paths lead to the same destination, and Shen Lian interacts with people in Luo Jiao and understands a lot about Luo Jiao's practice. The practice of Luo Jiao is actually quite similar to that of Qingxuan. It focuses on the cultivation of mind and emphasizes that everything is created by the heart.
Although this method involves the essence of the Tao, the derived method is too side-sect. Although it incorporates the beauty of Taoism and Buddhism, it also takes a lot of the dross of the two families, so the practice of these people is mixed.
Only those with great wisdom can appreciate the essence of Luo Jiao teachings and understand the true meaning of Luo Zu.
The more contact he had with these people, the more Shen Lian felt that in the Luo Sect, in addition to the Nine Lotus Scriptures practiced by people like Chao Xiaoyu, there must be a general outline that governs all laws.
The Nine Lotus Sutra is just a powerful technique created by the extremely talented and beautiful people of the Nine Lotus Sect, who took a different path from the teachings of the Luo Sect and achieved the divine way.
However, Luo Zu's ability will not be limited to the incense and fire religion. He should have a cultivation method that is no less than the authentic Taoism of Xuanmen.
Although Patriarch Luo passed down the Dharma without writing it down, Shen Lian didn't believe that such a great man would not be able to sum up his practice. He should at least have something to spread his true meaning.
With Shen Lian's current ability, even if he gets the secrets from the major branches of Luo Jiao, it is absolutely impossible to deduce Luo Zu's true meaning. And it is too unworthy. After all, there are countless Qingxuan Zhengfa, and Taixu Divine Strategy directly touches the Tao of Yin Yang and Five Elements, so why bother to seek other methods.
He teaches the Dharma in order to draw parallels and at the same time increase the qualifications for his own practice.
The deeper Shen Lian practices, the more he understands why the ancient sacred immortals and Buddhas were so keen on preaching and teaching. After all, even if he creates a new path, there are always things he misses. Preaching to the world is tantamount to borrowing the wisdom of all living beings. Reflect yourself and find the right direction for your own path.
It's just that in this way, some of your own roots are exposed, which can be regarded as a gain and a loss. Generally speaking, selfless lectures and preaching cannot be done unless you have a big mind.
Shen Lian's energy went back and forth, and his energy finally reached its peak one day before the appointed time.
If you were outside, you would see the energy of heaven and earth gathering above Shen Lian's head, like a big dragon entrenched, and the wind howling like a dragon's roar. This continued for a day, and in the evening of the appointed day, the big dragon gradually disappeared into the void and finally disappeared.
This night, in the sky above the Emerald Platform of Jimo Peak, the stars are bright, like little fireflies, gathering into a river, and it is indescribably prosperous. In the starry sky and moonlit night, there are no clouds in the sky, the sky is as blue as water, and silver stars penetrate the sky. I don’t know where they come from, and I don’t know where they are going. The sound of the flowing river can be vaguely heard even on the ascension platform.
This is not the sound of a big river flowing, but the masters of Guangqing setting up the Five Ultimate Formations. Although there is no visible light that shakes the sky from the outside, in fact the vitality becomes a river, almost condensed into substance. The roaring sound of the waves is naturally the sound of the vitality. The trembling sound of the void caused by the river.
Due to the gathering of vitality, countless spiritual birds were attracted, and the surrounding vegetation was nourished by the vitality, and flowers bloomed, and the fragrance spread for more than ten miles.
Even at the foot of Jimo Peak, you can feel that Yuhuatai has become a fairyland on earth.
In this battle at Jimo Peak, the appointment of the Five Jue Formation was nominally to invite Shen Lian here for a while, but in fact it was the five great masters of Guangqing who wanted to compete with the most outstanding Taoist Shen in recent years.
Therefore, many monks with good intentions have arrived nearby in advance, occupied a good position, or set up flying boats, sword lights, etc., to watch in the void.
If your self-cultivation is deep, you can look for a location within a radius of ten miles. If your cultivation is shallow, you can only stay a hundred miles away, lest something goes wrong and you are in trouble.
Because of this incident, tonight unexpectedly became a major event in the cultivation world. After all, these monks, regardless of their level of cultivation, were very large in number, at least more than a thousand.
The light emitted by these more than a thousand monks is almost competing with the stars in the sky.
Looking from the ground, one might even think that there are thousands of sky lanterns swinging in the sky, creating a spectacle.
All I saw was a white cloud floating out from the end of the blue sky. It was particularly conspicuous under the clear starry night. An old Taoist and an old Taoist nun live in Yunshan. They all have immortal postures, their eyes are like stars, and they don't look old.
More than ten sword lights followed, obviously the disciples who came with them.
The sky was full of monks waiting for Shen Lian's arrival. Some of them were well-informed people. They recognized their origins and saluted across the distance. It turns out that these two people are the two elders of Qinshan, great monks who have been famous for five hundred years. They have always been as famous as Taoist Baishi and other casual monks. They have profound magical powers and great reputations.
Moreover, the two elders of Qinshan are a pair of Taoist monks. They come in and out together, and they are proficient in the Taoist art of combined attacks. It is said that they once fought against the immortal Changsheng, and they were both unscathed. Although they don't know whether it is true or not, it makes people even more awe-inspiring.
When Saint Qingyin saw the two elders of Qinshan, she didn't dare to trust them. The five master uncles were in the Five Jue Formation and could not come out, so she flew into the sky on a cloud to greet them personally.
It turns out that the two elders of Qinshan were nearby. They heard about what happened tonight, so they were curious and came to take a look.
Qingyin was good at sociability. She spoke a few words and complimented the two elders very happily.
Then he led the two elders and a group of disciples to the vicinity of the Ascension Platform. During this period, Chen Mubai and others also sent messages and talked about their friendship.
About another stick of incense passed before Shen Lian came.
It was almost midnight, and if it was a little later, it would only be the second day, so some monks wondered if Shen Lian didn't dare to come.
Among them, the disciple of the two elders of Qinshan, a young girl, seemed to be impatient and couldn't wait for Shen Lian to come. She said loudly: "It seems that the so-called headmaster of the Four Great Dao Sect is just a vain name."
This young girl is none other than the only daughter of the two elders in Qinshan.
It is a stroke of luck that a practitioner can subdue a white tiger or slay a red dragon to have an heir. Both of them are between six and seven hundred years old. To be able to get this girl is a blessing from heaven. The two of them had no hope of immortality, so they devoted more of their efforts to their daughter. She was usually very pampered, and this was how she developed this arrogant character.
Because there was no deliberate soundproofing spell, the monks present, even if they were far away, could naturally hear clearly.
One person sneered and said: "The Four Great Dao Sect has gained a false reputation, so what are the two elders of Qinshan?"
Although everyone secretly thought that this woman was arrogant, they did not expect anyone to refute her face to face. Looking towards the source of the sound, it was a clear sword light that suddenly appeared, causing a sharp sound that broke through the air, and reached the ascension platform in an instant.
