Chapter 1028
Gu Zheng was very satisfied with the new place and gave Yang Du and the others a reward. Everyone who participated in the construction of the house had rewards.
Wu You and the others didn't feel much about the rewards given by Gu Zheng, but Yang Du and the others were very happy. It was difficult for them to get these things in other places. Here, they just built an ordinary house and it was enough. The harvest can be said to be very big.
In the new place, Wu You transplanted some good flowers and plants, and they gradually gained some vitality.
In this way, three months passed quickly after moving into the new house. The three months were very peaceful. Gu Zheng estimated that the injury of the great elder Ge Xu had not recovered yet. According to Tao, the wounds he caused were not as good as those of ordinary Daluo Jinxian. Thinking about healing, unless there is some magical weapon that defies heaven.
Being in the Golden Immortal realm can make Da Luo Jinxian's wounds recover very slowly, not to mention that he is now in the Da Luo Golden Immortal realm. Ordinary Da Luo Jinxian cannot heal at all.
Ge Xu was seriously injured again, and he was probably hiding to recuperate and try to find a way to heal the wound, so he didn't have the time or energy to trouble them, which made Gu Zheng feel a lot more at ease.
In short, life was very peaceful during this period. Gu Zheng never returned to Fucheng, but Wu You often went back and brought back the situation there.
When Gu Zheng first came out, the Taoist Huo people were a little nervous. As time went by, they gradually became more stable. At this time, the people in the city had no idea that Gu Zheng was no longer around. For mortals, Gu Zheng was always by their side. , guarding them.
Many houses in the city have erected statues of Tie Xian. Tie Xian is the patron saint here.
Such a life was quite pleasant. Half a year after moving out, Gu Zheng asked Wu You to call all the immortal cultivators in the city, including the Taoist Huo.
On this day, Gu Zheng decided to give a sermon.
In fact, with his level, he could have said it a long time ago. He was a quasi-sage before. Not to mention, he now knows more than many people in the prehistoric times. There is absolutely no problem in teaching some simple Tao.
The so-called preaching is actually about enlightening one's wisdom. Everyone has a different understanding of Tao and practices differently. If there is no one to guide you, you have to explore everything by yourself. If there is someone to guide you, it will be much more convenient and faster.
Preaching is to enlighten many people at the same time. This is completely different from the so-called "Great Immortal Preaching" before. The Great Immortal Preaching is just a pretense, but Gu Zheng's Preaching is the real thing.
All the immortal cultivators, including Taoist Huo, arrived at Zhuangzi. Gu Zheng set up chairs and tables in the yard and sat there casually.
"What is Tao?"
Taoist Huo and the others all knew that Gu Zheng was going to give a sermon, but no one expected that Gu Zheng would raise such a big topic, which made Taoist Huo and Situ stunned.
"What is Tao?"
Gu Zheng asked again. Including Gu Zheng, there were only twenty people. The rest of them lowered their heads and began to think. Since Gu Zheng said so, he must start from this point. No matter how big the beginning is, Gu Zheng This is the beginning after all.
After thinking for a while, many people had no clue.
The word Tao can be big or small. In the big sense, everyone practices Tao, goes against the will of nature, pursues immortality, and pursues power. This is a kind of Tao. In the smallest sense, every move is Tao.
"What is Tao?"
Gu Zheng asked for the third time, and everyone raised their heads in confusion. The same was true for Taoist Huo and the others. They didn't understand why Gu Zheng asked three times in a row, but even he couldn't answer Gu Zheng's question.
There is no answer to this question. Without an answer, there is no way to answer it.
Gu Zheng smiled slightly and continued: "Because there is no Tao at all!"
This sentence made Taoist Huo and the others stunned for a moment, and several immortals even stood up. Gu Zheng waved his hands to them and continued: "The so-called Tao is actually the heart, and everything in the world comes from the heart!"
Gu Zheng looked at them, then lowered his head and stretched out his hand to pick up an ordinary stone on the ground: "Mountains, grass, bamboos, birds and animals, even every mountain and stone, all come from the heart!"
It is caused by, not by.
Many immortals lowered their heads again, and Taoist Huo and the others were also thoughtful.
"The heart dominates everything, and desire enhances everything. When birds and animals have higher desires, they may become demons; when flowers, plants, bamboos and trees have more ideas, they may become spirits. Whether they are demons or spirits, they are all Entering from the heart, this is their way!”
Everyone bowed their heads again, the demon race, in fact, there has always been a saying of demons. Demons are birds and beasts, various animals are cultivated, and spirits are flowers, plants, bamboos, and various things that have no intelligence at all. Before they develop wisdom, they are dead creatures. After they develop wisdom, they become demons.
In this way, what Gu Zheng said seems to make sense.
"The Tao comes from the heart!"
Gu Zheng continued to talk, this was his previous realization of reaching the quasi-sage. Although he said it now as a golden immortal, after all, his previous realm was there, and it was still shocking after he said it.
After this shocking words came out, what Gu Zheng said gradually became easier to understand. Soon, Taoist Huo began to understand it. Not long after, Situ and Shi Bufan were also able to understand it. After that, Everyone can understand it.
After understanding, everyone felt that they had gained a lot, and the stone that Gu Zheng had sucked up had been lying quietly on the table. Two hours later, Gu Zheng finished his sermon and smiled at the stone on the table. laugh.
Two hours, although it was not a long time, everyone gained a lot, and the higher the cultivation level, the greater the gain.
Gu Zheng preached with his previous quasi-saint perception, so it would be strange if these people didn't gain anything. That night, two celestial beings broke through their own realms and made a step forward.
Although the three golden immortals, Huo Dao Ren and others, did not advance, they all felt that their realms had stabilized a lot and their state of mind had improved, which made them even more shocked.
A sermon actually made them all gain a lot. What does this mean? It means that Gu Zheng is not only stronger than them, but also has a much higher level of perception than them. No wonder Gu Zheng cultivates so fast and is so powerful.
"Fellow Huo Dao, how can he have such a high state of mind at such a young age?"
After returning, the three of them gathered together again. Situ couldn't help but sighed, and Huo Dao Ren and Shi Bufan nodded in agreement.
"Could it be that he took over another body, and he had a very high cultivation before?"
Shi Bufan suddenly said, taking over another body, the golden immortal has the ability to take over another body, the primordial spirit is immortal, taking over another body to be reborn, taking over a new body to cultivate again, but this body is not his own after all, so it is inconvenient to cultivate.
Taoist Huo just thought about it and shook his head.
"Fellow Daoist Tiexian is not possessing a body, absolutely not!"
People who practice possession are different from normal people, especially those who possess a body have their own souls in their bodies. Killing someone else's soul and occupying something that is not their own will definitely be awkward.
So people who possess a body are easy to identify. Taoist Huo can be sure that Gu Zheng is not possessing a body.
"If it is not possession, how can we explain why he is so powerful? It's too strange!" Situ frowned. In fact, he also knew that Gu Zheng was not possessing a body, but apart from the reason of possession, he really couldn't figure out how Gu Zheng was so powerful at such a young age and had such a strong ability to understand the Tao.
"Do you have this feeling? When facing him, it's like facing a senior, a very powerful senior. I personally feel that facing a Daluo Jinxian may not be like facing him!"
Shi Bufan suddenly smiled bitterly. This was his feeling after listening to the Tao today. Gu Zheng, who was sitting in front of him, really seemed like a senior, a very powerful senior.
"You spoke very well!"
After returning, Tao suddenly appeared beside Gu Zheng and whispered.
He was there when Gu Zheng preached today, but he didn't show up. He listened to everything, and he also had insights, especially the first words.
"As long as you think it's good!"
Gu Zheng smiled slightly. In fact, the most important thing in the first part was for him. Others couldn't understand it at all. Tao's cultivation level was also very fast, faster than him, but Tao had always been led by the knife to practice, so there were great hidden dangers.
Half of the purpose of Gu Zheng's preaching this time was actually for him, so that Tao's state of mind could be quickly improved.
After the first sermon, half a month later, Gu Zheng gave the second sermon.
This time, like before, Gu Zheng talked about difficult things at the beginning, and then slowly became simple. It was still a short sermon of two hours, which made everyone feel that they had gained a lot again, even Huo Dao Ren was the same.
Gu Zheng gave a sermon every half a month, and in a blink of an eye, he had given it ten times. After ten times, Gu Zheng announced that he would give a big sermon, and this time, he would give it for a whole day.
I don’t know when it started, but when Gu Zheng gave a sermon, some small animals around would come over, including rabbits, grasshoppers, butterflies, dragonflies, etc., and Wu You found that the plants in the yard became more lush and grew towards the center of the yard.
This discovery shocked him and made him excited at the same time. Even these dead things without wisdom were listening to the sermon, which showed that Gu Zheng’s sermon was really powerful and really effective. If it goes on like this, maybe these animals and plants will eventually become wise and become goblins.
“Today, let’s talk about the way of saints first…”
During this one-day sermon, Gu Zheng threw a bomb right at the beginning. Gu Zheng actually talked about the way of saints. This is the way of saints, and only saints can talk about it.
Gu Zheng was a quasi-saint before. Although he was not a real saint, he barely had the word "saint" in his name, so it was not wrong for him to talk about these things, but the more correct way to say it should be the way of quasi-saints.
Whether it was Tao or Huo Dao Ren, saints and quasi-saints, there was no difference between them.
Tao was in a room in the backyard, listening attentively. He understood that Gu Zheng was talking to him before, but as he listened, his expression suddenly moved, and his body floated out into the air.
Three figures flew quickly from a distance, and their target was here. The speed of these three figures was not slow, and they did not hide it. These were three strong men who had reached the strength of Daluo Jinxian.
Gu Zheng also discovered them, but Gu Zheng did not stop, and was still talking there. The three people looked surprised and doubtful, and finally landed in the yard, standing in the back row, and also listening there.
Gu Zheng arranged a simple formation, which even celestial immortals could see through, not to mention the three Daluo Jinxians. They did not break the formation and came in directly.
Seeing that they came in without any action, Tao also landed on the ground, sat down behind Gu Zheng, and continued to listen.
The three people who flew in were actually women. Three female Daluo Jinxians were very rare. Gu Zheng smiled at them and nodded. The three of them also nodded slightly in response.
Gu Zheng continued to talk. The small animals in the yard were standing quietly in the front row. Soon, even the various animals outside the yard gathered. Because of the fairy formation blocking them, they could not come in, and they were all outside. Calling anxiously.
A female Daluo Jinxian who came in suddenly waved her hand, and the fairy formation arranged by Gu Zheng was broken. All the little animals outside ran in, and Tao suddenly stood up.
Gu Zheng turned around, shook his head at him, said nothing, and continued to preach.
This sermon lasted all day, and the day's sermon ended quickly. When it ended, the surroundings were filled with various animals, including tigers, leopards, snakes, wolves, deer, rabbits, chickens, mice, and so on.
All the animals were standing there quietly. All kinds of animals that usually ran away or bit each other were standing there quietly. After Gu Zheng finished talking, these little animals all bent together. He bent down, as if to salute, and finally retreated.
The vision of the animals did not attract the attention of the Taoist Huo people. They were all fascinated by what they heard. Although Gu Zheng stopped talking, they were still thinking about everything Gu Zheng said.
"Three fellow Taoists have come from afar and have not been far away to greet us. Please atone for your sins!"
Gu Zheng clasped his fists at the three people. Only then did Huo Taoist and the others realize that there were three more people, and they were three women.
"You don't have to be polite, fellow Taoist, but my three sisters were really shocked by your fellow Taoist. Even our senior brother, I'm afraid we can't compare to what you said!"
The three of them clasped their fists together, and their attitude was very polite, but they only talked about their senior brother, not their master.
"Wu You, prepare tea, you three, please come inside!"
Gu Zheng smiled slightly and led the three of them in. Wu You and Aunt Cui hurriedly went to prepare. Taoist Huo and the others wanted to ask Gu Zheng some questions, but they could only give up when they saw that there were guests. They all stayed in the backyard for the time being and continued to reminisce about this. A sermon heard in one day.
"My Taoist friend is only in the middle stage of Golden Immortal, and he is not seizing the body. How can he have such a high understanding of the Tao?"
After entering, one of the three people couldn't help but ask. Although the three of them had just arrived, they had been listening for nearly a day. They had not disturbed Gu Zheng before. It was because what Gu Zheng said made them very happy. Be enlightened, learn and strengthen.
And Gu Zheng's cultivation level has been seen through by them. In the middle stage of Golden Immortal, a middle stage Golden Immortal can express insights that are very useful to them, which really shocked them. Like Situ, they also thought of seizing the body, but They were quickly rejected by themselves.
"I'm Tie Xian, this is my compatriot brother Tao Xian. I don't know how to call these three fellow Taoists?"
Gu Zheng smiled slightly and did not answer their questions. Instead, he introduced himself and asked them about it.
"I was the one who acted recklessly. My name is Yun Xiao, and these are my junior sisters Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao!"
The leading woman introduced Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng seemed a little understanding, but not surprised.
"It turns out to be Fairy Sanxiao under the throne of the saint. I have admired you for a long time!"
The three Yunxiao sisters are true disciples of saints. They are three of the eight disciples of Lord Tongtian. They are also famous among the second-generation disciples of Jiejiao. Unfortunately, two of them died in the Conferring God War.
It is true that the leader of Tongtian Cult is a saint, but he advocates teaching without distinction, so it is not surprising that Yunxiao took special action to break the formation so that the little animals outside could come in and listen to the sermon.
And the senior brother they are talking about should be Taoist Duobao, the great disciple of Tongtian Cult Leader.
"Fellow Taoist Tiexian is so polite. What Taoist Taoist Tiexian said has benefited us a lot, which is respectable!"
Yunxiao clasped her fists again, she was telling the truth. They all had a great understanding after hearing what Gu Zheng said. Although Gu Zheng was only in the middle stage of Jinxian, she did not show off at all like a Daluo Jinxian.
"I wonder if the three of you came to my little place on purpose, or if you were just passing by!"
Gu Zheng asked again, these are three Da Luo Jinxian, and they are different from Ge Xu and Hua Tian before. They are Da Luo Jinxian with a big backing, and there are real saints behind them.
Gu Zheng would never want to be an enemy of such a person.
"We learned that there is a person here who possesses an innate treasure called Shu Sheng Die Bo, so we came here to verify whether it is true!"
Yunxiao looked at Gu Zheng and said slowly that they were either passing by or coming for Gu Zheng, but they didn't expect that Gu Zheng's sermon was so profound that it attracted them all.
In fact, their destination was Fucheng, but there were no immortals in Fucheng. They came from Fucheng. They were a little disappointed at the time, but they soon felt that something was wrong around them, so they came here specially.
At their level, they would not attack ordinary people at will, so the ordinary people did not know that there were three Da Luo Jinxian in the city.
"The news you received is correct, the life and death book is indeed here!"
Gu Zheng waved his hand casually, and the life and death book flew out of his body and unfolded in front of the three people. The yellow scroll exuded innate energy. Tao was already holding his knife and looked at the three people warily.
"It turns out that life and death are in the hands of fellow Taoist Taoist. Originally we were worried that this treasure would fall into the hands of someone with evil intentions. Now that we know that it is in your hands, fellow Taoist Tiexian, we are relieved!"
Yun Xiao said softly, but actually she was not telling the truth. The three of them were excited when they heard about this treasure, and they wanted to come here to seize it.
But after listening to Gu Zheng's sermon, they changed their minds. First, the profound insights Gu Zheng preached were of great benefit to them. Although they had their own masters, listening to Gu Zheng's sermon for a day was considered They have learned the truth, but if they are asked to attack someone who has taught them, they still cannot do it.
They all have formal inheritance, and their respect for teachers has been deeply rooted in their bones.
This is just one of the reasons. Another reason is that they are not sure that they can really snatch the Book of Life and Death. Although Gu Zheng only showed the strength of the middle stage of the Golden Immortal, there is a Daluo Golden Immortal behind him. If they fail to snatch it and let him run away, they will be equivalent to creating a big enemy.
Before listening to the sermon, they were not afraid of creating such an enemy, but after listening to the sermon, they were unwilling to create such an enemy. What this person said was better than what their eldest brother Duobao Taoist said, and their eldest brother was the only strong man among the brothers who cultivated into the quasi-saint realm.
A person's teachings were better than those of a quasi-saint, which meant that this person had at least the potential of a quasi-saint. How could they be willing to offend such a person easily?
