Chapter 943 Laoshan Spell (3)
Huang Chao and Wang Qilang don't have many opportunities to communicate. Both of them have chores to do. In the rest of the time, they have to practice boxing and stretching with Taoist priests, and read Taoist scriptures to familiarize themselves with common sense. If you really want to work hard, you will find that there is not enough time every day. use. Novel WWW.しWXS520.COM
Huang Chao also somewhat understood the meaning of "self-protection" by the Taoists. They deliberately did not communicate with the new disciples, but kept meeting normally. This kind of slight alienation prevents "mortals" from involving themselves. Otherwise, Wang Qilang himself felt that there was no hope in cultivating Taoism, so he would ask a familiar Taoist priest to help him a little. When he couldn't bear the fatigue and gave up persistence, he still wanted to take a shortcut by taking advantage of friendship. Such a thing, if the Taoist priest does not allow it, it will arouse Wang Qilang's resentment.
The practice here is longevity. In Wang Qilang's view, if you help me, I can live for a long time. If you don't help me, I will die like a mortal. If he is narrow-minded and full of resentment, he will feel that others don't help. It's the same as leaving him dead or murdering him. This hatred can be quite deep. Taoist priests are dealing with new mortals, so there is no need to let it go, otherwise not only will they not make friends, but they will also attract hatred from others.
Huang Chao discovered such signs when he was dealing with Wang Qilang. Cleaning up the house by himself, Wang Qilang followed him to learn, but he was not as good as him, because the two were not familiar with each other, and it was not easy for him to ask Huang Chao to help. When the two became more acquainted, Wang Qilang would complain to Huang Chao about his hard work every day when chopping firewood. Huang Chao secretly smiled in his heart, but he didn't let go of his promise to help him, otherwise he would make a start, and if he didn't help one day, the other party would blame him. Longevity is a matter of improving one's own life essence, but this process cannot be supported by others. Rather than letting others resent "seeing death without saving" in the end, it is better to maintain a distance from the beginning.
So Wang Qilang was astonished to find that Huang Chao, who went up the mountain with him, became like the others in a short period of time, as if he had lost interest in everything in the world, and was studying Daoist scriptures hard every day. He has only read a few pages in the past five days, but Huang Chao has already read three or four books, and the speed is getting faster and faster. Brother Mingxin, who is in charge of internal affairs, has made him pay attention to the consumption of lamp oil.
"Master, I have something I want to ask..." Half a month later, Taoist Master Qingbai gave another sermon to all the disciples, and when the first disciples finished asking questions, Huang Chao also asked.
Daoist Qingbai's eyes lit up, seeing Huang Chao's aura, which was quite in line with the "calm and natural" way of Taoism, and he was relieved to receive a seedling of Taoism. He twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Mingyang, you have been a beginner for half a month, and you have been studying the Taoist scriptures day and night, and your diligent heart is commendable. But you need to know how to combine work and rest, and don't affect the foundation of your body because of hard study. You are already a disciple of this concept. If you have any questions, just ask."
"I don't know a few things..." Huang Chao has studied the classics of this concept seriously. The ideas here are similar to what he saw in the world of martial arts. where questions are raised. All of these are the key points for mana to change reality, which is the way to realize the high degree of mystery in this world.
When the other Taoists heard Huang Chao's question, they looked at him strangely for a while,
Some people showed envious expressions, and some people couldn't help but nod their heads. They are all beginners, so of course they understand that what Huang Chao asked is the key to Taoism. He can realize the importance of these truths by himself just by reading the classics, and it seems that he has an extraordinary understanding.
Taoist Master Qingbai also showed a smile and explained Huang Chao's questions one by one. Among them, he quoted scriptures and asked Huang Chao to read some Taoist scriptures intensively. and comprehension. Huang Chao also showed a pensive look, this is not pretending, some old-fashioned words did make him think more deeply about the practice in this world.
After asking the question about cultivation, Huang Chao asked again: "Master, I have heard all kinds of fairy tales and ghosts. When I was traveling outside, I also heard and saw real fox demons, ghosts, corpses and other strange events. May I ask you? Where do the heavens and the underworld exist in the world? How do we go to those magical places, and what immortals and gods will we meet? Are there any magical figures in Taoism and Buddhism in the world?"
Huang Chao, Huang Taishi, still knows the world's forces very well. The top cultivation forces in the world are exactly the "Three Teachings, Four Ways and Eight Schools". The three religions are Zhengyi religion, Maoshan religion and Laoshan religion, the four ways are Tianshi way, Quanzhen way, Lingbao way and Qingwei way, and the eight ways are Lvzong, Sanlunzong, Tiantaizong, Faxiangzong, Huayanzong, Zhenyanzong, Zen, Pure Land Buddhism. There are many sects in the Taoist sect that are divided and derived, and many sects have overlapping inheritance. The development of Buddhism and Taoism in this world, because of the existence of real mana, makes the distribution of sects very different from his previous world, but their cultivation thoughts are consistent with the previous world.
There are many sects here, and Huang Chao has dealt with them. He has joined the Quanzhen Taoism, also joined the branch Huashan Sect, and he has also joined the Maoshan Sect. The most interesting thing is that he has friendship with the patriarchs of four of the eight Buddhist sects. They are the four great monks of the Tang Dynasty. ... If these disciples of Buddhism and Taoism are all disregarding human life and running amok, Huang Chao would have the nerve to deal with them ruthlessly, but these people, like the Taoists of the Laoshan Sect in front of them, are mostly well-educated and have no intention of harming the people. lift. The hateful thing about them is that they maintained this lifeless world pattern, and did not stand with the imperial court to clean up the universe and reorganize the universe.
"Among the deep mountains and old forests, strange people emerge in endlessly. Both Buddhism and Taoism have their own masters. The leaders of each sect are all outstanding for a while. Each sect either lives in seclusion or travels around the world. Different sects have their own differences in their thoughts on cultivation. The masters of my Taoist sect pay attention to practice outside the world and do not have much reputation. There are many eminent monks of great virtue in Buddhism, who are known to the people all over the world. Walking around the world like Buddhism, holding various ceremonies, each sect has more than a dozen famous celestial masters, and each sect's head teacher has amazing cultivation."
Huang Chao withdrew his idea of arguing, but he wanted to ask: "With such a powerful force, why is there still an imperial court over its head?" The Buddhist and Taoist sects do not want to listen to the imperial court's laws, but also want to follow the local government's support to expand their influence. There is a big difference in philosophy with Huang Chao and other Confucianists.
"As for the heaven and the underworld, everyone will ask about it." Qing Bai nodded to Huang Chao and Wang Qilang, "You two must be skeptical about this. In fact, the heaven and the underworld are far away from the world, and only detached people , The magic power is high, and it is possible to enter here with the power of oneself. The heavens and the underworld use various means to influence the world, but the real gods rarely appear in the world. Even if you practice Taoism, don’t think that you can easily see the gods. Heaven , Lingshan is more difficult to reach than the underworld, and it is possible to enter such a wonderful place only after one has ascended to the Tao and achieved the right fruit, and one has thrown away the relics."
"On the contrary, the underworld and the human world are more accessible. Ghosts and ghosts are wandering in the world, and many people will leave their souls and enter the underworld. But ascetics need to keep in mind that they should not enter the underworld indiscriminately, and be captured by ghosts and sent to reincarnation. , is to find a dead end. The world is so big, there are also all kinds of aliens, monsters have infiltrated the world, and dragons live in rivers and seas, which often lead to strange legends."
