When the Buddha passed away, the spiritual mountain naturally disappeared with him. But the monks who listened to the teachings on Lingshan Mountain are all in this world, and they have all listened to the Dharma, so they have accomplished something. It's just that they have different personalities, and no one can fully understand the essence of Buddhism. Within a thousand years, these monks gradually divided into eight sects, known by the world as the Chengshi Sect, the Kushe Sect, the Vinaya Sect, and the Three Sects. Lun Sect, Tiantai Sect, Faxiang Sect, Huayan Sect, and Shingon Sect.
A thousand years have passed, and the sacred immortals and Buddhas who once appeared frequently have gradually disappeared from this land, and those long-lived demons, including the tyrannical and violent ones, have also been dealt with by the masters of the Taoist Buddhist Sect, and the human monks have The power gradually gained the dominant position in this world.
In Yuanzhou, the four Taoist sects are the most powerful.
Among the four sects of the Tao Sect, the most mysterious one is the Taishang Tao Sect, but among the four sects, the most recognized person is none other than Master Yuan Qing of the Qingxuan Tao Sect.
Since seven hundred years ago, Master Yuanqing practiced the sword Yuan Tu Sword, he has not heard of anyone who can take a sword under Master Yuanqing. Although the souls of the dead under the sword of Master Yuanqing, there are no four Taoist sects and There are leaders in the eight sects of Buddhism, but there are also some immortals who have become souls or demons with great reputations.
Therefore, all the sea areas to the east and south of Yuanzhou have become the sphere of influence of Qingxuan Dao Sect.
Fortunately, Yuan Qing is not a domineering person. As long as he is not provoked, he will not take the initiative to cause trouble. The Qingxuan Taoist Sect developed under his hands one after another. The five Qingxuan Peaks now have no less than five hundred elders and disciples in total. However, the Qingxuan Immortal Mountain is really vast, and the five hundred people in it still seem sparsely populated.
Among the five peaks of Qingxuan, Taiyi Peak has the strongest vitality. In view of Yuan Qing's sacred status in the sect, everyone in the sect agreed to classify Taiyi Peak as a dojo for Yuan Qing.
Yuan Qing considered that his cultivation level was indeed much better than that of other people in the sect, and sometimes when he broke through, it would easily cause great disturbances. If there were some disciples with shallow cultivation level left on Taiyi Peak, there might be accidental injuries, so he decided to do this. thing.
It's not that every monk in the world will make a big splash when they make a breakthrough, it's just that Yuan Qing himself is really different. It turns out that as his cultivation deepened and he put more effort into Yuan Shou Sword, murderous intent naturally accumulated in his Taoist heart. The seeds of these murderous intentions were transformed by his innate spirituality, but the reason why they were accumulated was because he absorbed the inner demons generated during his cultivation.
As the saying goes, if the Tao is one foot high, the devil is one foot high.
The stronger Yuan Qing's magic power is, the stronger the murderous aura will be. If one day it completely affects his character, there will be a big demon in the world that no one can control.
Every time he thought about this, he felt like a lump in his throat. And the reason for such a result is inseparable from the Yuan Sha Sword. Because although he was born with a murderous intention, as his Taoist practice deepened, the murderous intention was also covered up. However, after he was given the Yuan Tu Sword by Shen Lian, he actually used this sword to purify his magic power. Later, When fighting with Huang Quanzi, he relied on this sword to use a shocking sword move, and finally narrowly defeated the opponent, teaching Huang Quanzi never to set foot in Qingxuan Immortal Mountain from now on.
But in this way, the murderous intention was completely aroused. Like vines clinging to a big tree, they absorb the power of inner demons from his body and continue to grow.
In the world, there are gains and losses.
Yuan Qing looked at the white clouds in the mountains and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
With his current cultivation, he has long been able to leave this world and pursue a wider world, but he is still unwilling to leave until the hidden dangers are eliminated. Because there are two Taoyuns in Qingxuan Immortal Mountain, Taiyi and Qingxuan, which are quite effective in suppressing the restless murderous intention in his body. If he were in another place, he didn't know if he could continue to suppress the hidden dangers in his body.
Suddenly, Yuan Qing turned around, moved his robe sleeves, and a wonderful breath swept through the void, and then slowly disappeared. He released his spiritual thoughts and carefully searched the entire Taiyi Peak, but still found nothing.
This was not the first time that he felt someone was spying on him, but every time something strange happened and he tried to trace the source, he found nothing.
Yuan Qing vaguely felt in his mind that that existence was very close to him, but he couldn't find it.
His cultivation level is already at the pinnacle of the world, but he really can't think of a person who can observe him at such a close range that he can't detect any traces of him.
Yuan Qing also thought about whether it was Taoist Taiyi or Taoist Qingxuan, but how could these two come to peek at him secretly. The deeper he cultivates, the more he realizes that it is impossible to achieve the level of a Taoist master. It is like a mirror, a flower in the water, a dream.
But he did guess correctly, it was Shen Lian who was spying on him.
It's just that Shen Lian didn't mean to peek at Yuan Qing, he just wandered here casually and couldn't show up.
Shen Lian's current state cannot interfere with reality, but he still found a loophole, that is, even if others cannot see him, when he comes around some extremely sensitive people, they will still feel a little strange.
This has nothing to do with magical powers, it is purely about the soul.
It can be said that there are some mysteries of the soul that surprised him.
No wonder the Buddha said that "things change according to the mind, and the environment is created by the mind." He also said that all living beings have the true nature of nature.
It can be seen that the state of the Taoist Buddha is indeed something that everyone can pursue. This should be related to the sentient beings of the Taoist and the Buddha. They have achieved this state, and through the sentient beings, all living beings are contaminated with that Tao nature. As long as someone can clearly understand the root cause, he can naturally achieve the same level as the Taoist Lord Buddha.
It's just that this process is too difficult. Throughout the ages, only Shen Lian has been closest to this state in countless time and space.
However, even though Shen Lian had such great achievements, he still had to be a little bit short of Buddha to be trapped in history and unable to escape. But now he knew how to get out of trouble and understood the true meaning of the Buddha.
The solution is to wait.
Of course, just waiting for the opportunity seems boring, so Shen Lian wanders around.
The scenes in front of him were all history, and he experienced it personally without interfering, which was quite interesting. It seems that soon Yuan Qing will know how to deal with that murderous intention, and finally give birth to the blood-transforming magic sword.
After Yuan Qing experienced this feeling several times, he calmed down. He returned to the Qingxuan Palace he built, folded a crane with talisman paper, and went to summon Shen Xiaozi from Tianyuan Peak next door.
Shen Xiaozi is 370 years old this year. Although he has not yet mastered the soul and achieved immortality, he has learned a thunder method from the thunder and lightning of nature, and uses it to restore the eighth level of the elixir, becoming the leader in the sect. .
After receiving the decree from Xianheli, he went up to Taiyi Peak, entered Qingxuan Hall, and met Yuan Qing.
Yuan Qing was very satisfied when he saw Shen Xiaozi. Qingxuan Taoist Sect was very strict in selecting disciples, so over the millennium, there were many more talents. Shen Xiaozi was even more talented among talents, and he had an upright personality, and he treated many undisciplined disciples. , can be restrained so as not to do too much.
He said: "It will soon be time to open the mountain gate again, and this time I will ask you to preside over the disciple selection ceremony."
