Chapter 286 285 The Best Fortune in the Taoist Temple (Two Chapters in One)
Chapter 286 The Sign in the Taoist Courtyard (two chapters in one)
The Five Innate Tais, Taiyi, Taichu, Taishi, Taisu, and Taiji, are Taoist sects that explain the process of changes in the heaven, earth, and universe.
In historical records, there have been relevant rumors, corresponding to the Taoist body of Taoist practitioners.
The Five Supreme Beings are divided into front and back, and there is no difference between strong and weak. They explain the mysteries of different stages of the universe, and they all have the most suitable root and body constitution for practice. However, they have not appeared for many years, so few people mention them now.
In the beginning, there is no form or quality. There is only one innate Qi, which has no distinction between yin and yang. It is formless and has no quality.
From Taiyi, after going through Taichu, Taishi, and Taisu, we enter Taiji. Taiji is divided into two rituals, and Yin and Yang begin to appear. The four images and Bagua are intertwined, and all things are born.
If Tang Xiaotang's Pure Yang Immortal Physique and Jiang Yu's Pure Yin Immortal Physique are further improved, according to Lei Jun's speculation, they are most likely to achieve Taichu Dao Physique.
It's still speculation at the moment, but Tang Xiaotang himself has the same view.
"I already have some clues." Tang Tianshi laughed.
She has always admired geniuses.
Even if there are others who have the same immortal body and quiet understanding as her, she is still confident in herself.
The only thing that slightly touched Tang Xiaotang was Xu Yuanzhen's natural understanding that went beyond tranquility.
She didn't mention it much, but she actually cared about it in her heart.
But now, Tang Xiaotang's mood has calmed down a lot.
She regards acquiring qualifications like Lei Jun's as part of her spiritual practice.
And as she said, her luck was not bad either.
Although it is not an opportunity to improve her understanding, it does give her a chance to get some immortal bones and go further.
However, there are only some opportunities at present, and it is still far from serious success.
Tang Tianshi was quite open-minded about this aspect, and was not satisfied with thinking about it all the time, as long as there was a chance.
Her self-confidence is still high and she firmly believes that she will succeed soon.
While chatting with Lei Jun, she suddenly thought about it and looked at Lei Jun with suspicious eyes: "Wait a minute, I said something seems wrong with you. Is it possible for you to tell me this?"
"Senior Sister, your senses are really keen." Lei Jun praised the other person repeatedly, then took out the Chuyang Jade Chapter and handed it over.
Tang Xiaotang's eyes suddenly lit up and he took it.
She played with it carefully and couldn't put it down: "It's a good thing, just what I need!"
Lei Jun: "So?"
Tang Xiaotang's expression turned slightly regretful: "Unfortunately, it's not enough to help me take that step, but with this treasure, the chance will be even greater."
She said honestly and politely: "This jade medal belongs to me."
Lei Jun: "On the way back, I felt that this treasure is more suitable for you, so you can do whatever you want with it, little senior sister."
Tang Xiaotang played with it carefully again: "Well, the artistic conception of Fa Yun is a bit like the two chapters you and Zhang Jingzhen brought back. Is it related to the ancient Talisman Sect?"
Lei Jun nodded: "I have retained some of the relevant Dharma and will continue to study it later."
Tang Xiaotang was curious: "You have been studying it for so long. Is the so-called ancient heavenly palace really destroyed?
Aren't there legends about people from the fairyland in places like that, or even the ancestors of our sect?
Where have they all gone, or are the rumors untrue and just myths made up by later generations? "
Lei Jun spread his hands: "I can't say for sure right now."
He looked at the Chuyang Yuzhang in Tang Xiaotang's hand: "But now that I think about it, the drastic change in our sect's Taoism and Taoism that year may have been quite extraordinary."
It's a pity that it's so long ago that there is very little information available when tracing it now.
"That's fine."
Tang Xiaotang stood up and walked around excitedly: "The past is gone, the key is the future!
If weak spiritual energy was an invisible shackle before, now this shackle no longer exists.
It is said that no one has ascended to immortality in thousands of years, and all practitioners in the world have stopped at the ninth level. Now this should change! "
When Lei Jun heard this, he also felt a little yearning.
"By the way, what is the specific level of that monk from the White Lotus Sect?" Tang Xiaotang's thoughts jumped, he stood still, and casually changed the topic.
Lei Jun has long been accustomed to it: "There is no doubt that the immortal body and bones plus the quiet level of understanding, of course, they don't call it that in Buddhism.
His roots and understanding should also be mainly based on the Buddhist inheritance. He is a son of Buddha descended from heaven and possesses the root of wisdom.
The specific situation is still unclear, but from what is known, he has all the magical powers of Buddhism at his fingertips, breaking the restriction that we generally say that body and law are non-dual. "
Tang Xiaotang didn't mind because Future Maitreya was equally talented. Instead, he listened with interest:
"Not bad, not bad. Previously, I thought that Li Tianqing from Gepo Mountain and Yuan Mie from Dakong Temple were above him, but I dare to love him a few years later. For this reason, I want to meet him in person if I have the chance."
………………
The young monk Lei Jun mentioned has also returned to the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
He quietly went north and came to a temple later.
The abbot of the temple is a middle-aged monk in his forties or fifties. He looks ordinary and does not have any advanced cultivation.
When he saw the future Maitreya, he quietly welcomed him into the Zen room, and then saluted: "Senior brother."
The appearance of this middle-aged monk reflects his true age, but he does not have any advanced cultivation. He presides over an ordinary temple on weekdays, and there are only a few guests offering incense and incense in the temple.
But this seemingly ordinary temple is actually the most important stronghold of the White Lotus Sect.
Ordinaryness becomes the best cover here.
"Junior Brother Huineng, you have worked hard during this time." Future Maitreya said.
Abbot Huineng clasped his palms together and said, "It's no trouble to be able to share the worries of the Holy Master and my senior fellow apprentices."
He raised his head and looked at the young monk in front of him: "Senior brother is really secretive and admirable. Under the auspices of the Holy Lord and senior brother, the White Lotus World will definitely come."
Future Maitreya sighed: "Have you also heard about what happened in the Southern Wilderness?"
Huineng nodded: "Yes."
Future Maitreya: "It's not a good thing to go on an empty trip and become the target of public criticism."
"Senior Brother's concerns are reasonable." Hui Neng said: "However, as the news spread, Senior Brother's popularity in the sect has greatly increased. Senior Brother Jingshan and Junior Brother Huizhen have all stopped and do not dare to have more Action."
Future Maitreya shook his head slightly: "Treating the symptoms but not the root cause."
He looked past Huineng and asked, "Is the Holy Master still in retreat?"
Huineng: "Yes, there was no decree issued before."
Future Maitreya nodded slightly, walked to the wall of the meditation room, and continued walking without stopping.
There was a flash of light on the wall, and he was completely submerged into the wall.
Abbot Hui Neng silently watched the future Maitreya disappear, then he saluted with namaste, sat down in the Zen room again, and guarded the outer checkpoint.
In the future, Maitreya seemed to have stepped into a white world.
In this world, white lotuses are blooming everywhere, and there are many pagodas standing in addition.
The young monk walked forward silently and came to the center of the white lotus sea.
Here stands a huge white pagoda.
The future Maitreya bows to the pagoda.
The Nine-Rank Lotus Platform, the most precious treasure of the White Lotus Sect, flew out automatically and landed in front of the pagoda.
The white pagoda, the door is open.
However, the tower was empty, no one was inside.
Mirai Maitreya was not surprised, but looked slightly melancholy.
The Holy Lord still has not returned.
Although he was not a direct disciple of Lord Maitreya, he was cultivated by him and confirmed as his successor. Both parties had highly consistent views and policies on many matters.
Especially when it comes to his own White Lotus Sect, he is indeed in the same line as the Holy Lord White Lotus.
It's a pity that the Holy Master has an unspeakable secret. He has been claiming to be in seclusion all year round, but in fact he is constantly looking for a solution.
Maitreya also secretly searched for him in the future, but the harvest was limited.
During this trip to the Southern Wilderness, I passed by the Inexhaustible Treasure.
In the future, Maitreya himself will become famous all over the world, like the birth of the Buddha's son, which will greatly increase his popularity within the White Lotus Sect. Some people in the sect suppress him, and it is difficult to achieve justice for a while.
But the young monk knew that things would not be resolved simply.
The Holy Lord has been "in seclusion" for too long, often appearing only once every ten years or even decades.
In the past nearly two hundred years, Master Jingshan had been in charge of the affairs of the sect most of the time.
However, young monks have only recently emerged in the past few decades, and they have a long way to go if they want to reverse the sect's atmosphere.
Nowadays, it is good that people's popularity has soared, but the effect is still not as good as the Holy Lord's personal release.
If you give the young monk more time, the situation may change, but I'm afraid the other party won't give him this time...
Future Maitreya looked at the empty pagoda and sighed again.
………………
Stay away from the Southern Wilderness, go all the way east, and reach overseas.
Deep in the ocean, there is currently a cave hidden.
A cave that can move with the flow of earth energy.
Qingxiao Mansion.
There is also another top treasure in Shushan, Taiyi Xiantian Pagoda, in the house.
Inside the mansion are the Taoist weapon-refining sect monks who originally left Shushan.
The number of people in Taiyi Xiantian Tower is much smaller, with only five people currently.
But they are all important Taoist giants.
Even if they all leave their former sect.
Fu Dongsen, Hong Jie, and Wei Qiyue, who are the owners of this room, are all here.
Two guests, one with white hair and a childish face, and the other with the appearance of a middle-aged man, are both dressed in the attire of a high-ranking mage from the Chunyang Palace.
It was Rong Guangchen, the former Qinglong elder of Chunyang Palace, and Gu Han, the Xuanwu elder.
"Although we failed to achieve the expected plan, I still thank you for your hard work on this trip, Fellow Daoist Fu." Rong Guangchen, who had snow-white beard and hair but had a face like a young man, said.
Fu Dongsen: "Ashamed."
Rong Guangchen: "The Taoist should be ashamed of himself for being a poor Taoist. His skills were inferior and his skills were exposed. He had to leave Zhongnan Mountain."
Wei Qiyue said softly: "Xu Yuanzhen...and Chen Donglou should not be underestimated."
Gu Han looked at Fu Dongsen: "Celestial Master's robe, are you sure it has fallen into the hands of someone from the Buddhist sect in the Western Regions?"
Fu Dongsen: "That seems to be the case so far, but Pindao has not been able to confirm it personally."
Rong Guangchen: "Compared to the Heavenly Master's robe, the Heavenly Master's seal is more important."
Fu Dongsen: "Except for his sudden appearance in Longhu Mountain, he has never appeared again and there is no news."
Wei Qiyue frowned: "If it is said that the Celestial Master's Seal has been recovered by Longhu Mountain, but the earlier battles in Jiangzhou and Jinzhou were important, there was still no trace of the Celestial Master's Seal..."
"Continue to search." Rong Guangchen said: "The emperor's intention is that if necessary, you can only go to Longhu Mountain once. The Ten Thousand Fa Sect Altar is the most suitable, and the rest are just substitutes."
Wei Qiyue started to speak but stopped: "What Longhu Mountain said..."
Rong Guangchen: "It's not now."
He raised his head slightly: "It should never have been the past few years."
"The Butterfly King asked to see the Emperor, and the Emperor has agreed." Fu Dongsen said: "The three poor Taoists need to move to the cave next, so they have no choice but to meet the Butterfly King, Lao Ronglao and Gu Daoyou."
Gu Han nodded towards Fu Dongsen and Rong Guangchen: "Leave it to Pindao."
………………
After the Chuyang Yuzhang was handed over to Tang Xiaotang, Lei Jun returned to his cave.
When passing by senior brother Wang Guiyuan's residence, he saw that the courtyard door was open.
Wang Guiyuan was alone, standing in the courtyard in a daze.
Lei Jun's steps slowed down a little, and when he looked closely, he saw Wang Guiyuan, who was distracted as if he was in a trance, with a slightly strange expression on his face.
After a long time, Wang Guiyuan came back to his senses and regained focus.
He turned around to close the courtyard door, but saw Lei Jun stopping outside the door, looking at him.
"Junior brother?" Wang Guiyuan greeted.
Lei Jun said simply: "It's rare to see senior brother look like that just now."
Wang Guiyuan: "Well, yes, I suddenly remembered something related to Taoism, so I was distracted for a while."
Lei Jun chatted with him about what happened in the Southern Wilderness. After hearing this, Wang Guiyuan smiled bitterly: "Junior brother, you still have to be careful."
"Senior brother is right." Lei Jun nodded.
Wang Guiyuan sighed: "I still hope that Master can return as soon as possible. Nowadays, the Southern Wilderness is really a mixed bag, and the situation is unpredictable."
He turned to Lei Jun and said, "I have just thought about it and gained a little bit, so I just strike while the iron is hot and stay in seclusion for a while."
Lei Jun: "I wish you great success, senior brother."
After bidding farewell to Wang Guiyuan, Lei Jun returned to his mansion.
The first thing is to check the eldest apprentice’s homework.
Generally speaking, a certain Gungun has never been lazy in his training and has worked very hard.
but……
Lei Jun: "Hug, don't you think you're a lot rounder compared to the past few days?"
A certain person's billowing black eyes rolled: "Probably... not."
Lei Jun was honest and polite, picked up his eldest apprentice, and then rubbed him.
Well, to some extent, it feels better than before.
Zhuo Baojie sneered.
Lei Jun: "I heard that the Cave of Shangqing Lei Mansion was harmed."
A certain little bear called out to Tianqu: "Master, I only ate two bamboos... Oops!"
Lei Jun took back his hand and nodded: "I ate two pills."
Eat what you want.
Although Lei Jun made fun of his apprentice, as long as he didn't seriously harm the entire fairy bamboo forest, he, as the master, would help take care of it.
Because of Shanpi's special talent, similar to eating, it is an effective way to accumulate talent capital.
Zhuo Baojie can be regarded as particularly talented in this aspect.
He had already shown this when he was still in Bashu.
In contrast, Master Yuan Mobai seems to be more restrained in this aspect. I don't know if he has passed the corresponding stage or if he has image baggage now... Stop, stop, I can't think about it any more.
Lei Jun returned to the mountain and resumed his previous life rhythm.
In addition to teaching his disciples and assisting in the affairs of the sect every day, he also continued his own practice.
On this road to the sky, we still need to keep moving forward.
On this day, people from the Taoist Children's Courtyard at the foot of the mountain came to visit Lei Jun.
But it was an old acquaintance, Elder Du, whom Lei Jun had interacted with a lot in the past.
Elder Du, whose real name is Du Yu, is the three-day elder in the Tianshi Mansion. He is of the same generation as Yuan Mobai, Shangguan Ning and others. He is currently serving as the chief instructor of the Taotong Academy.
"Uncle Du." Lei Jun asked him to sit down.
The two parties chatted for a few words, and Elder Du Yu mentioned that the purpose of his visit was to invite Lei Jun to go to the Taotong Academy to hold a sermon when he was free.
Although similar things are not frequent, they are not surprising either.
In his early years, Yuan Mobai went to the Taoist Academy to give lectures more than once.
Yao Yuan, Shangguan Ning and others are no exception.
Elder Gao Gong occasionally gives lectures to Taoist boys. On the one hand, they are profound in Taoism, and their opening sermons can be explained in simple terms and in a unique way, which can be an extraordinary inspiration to Taoist boys. On the other hand, it is convenient to enhance the cohesion of the younger disciples and encourage them to work harder. Practice diligently.
Lei Jun and Zhang Jingzhen are high-level masters who have broken through to the seventh heaven in recent years.
After several years of transition, Daotongyuan now also began to invite them to open forums to preach.
Of course, there are not exceptions.
For example, Xu Yuanzhen has never done anything similar.
However, Lei Jun is not opposed to this.
After setting a specific time with Du Yu, Lei Jun briefly sorted out what he had learned in Taoism during his spare time, and quickly prepared a lecture notes for many people.
Lei Jun has now become one of the legends of the Tianshi Mansion. For the young and junior disciples, when he comes to give a sermon, a crowd of responders immediately gathers, and almost all the people from several Taoist branch schools come.
Elder Lei's class was concise and easy to understand but also contained profound mysteries. Not only the Taoist boys, but also all the teachers in the courtyard felt that they had benefited a lot from what they had learned.
Later in the evening, after the lecture ended, Lei Jun answered questions for many Taoist boys, and then he said goodbye to Du Yu and other teachers and left the Taoist courtyard.
His face was as calm as ever.
He doesn't seem as approachable as his master Yuan Mobai.
But they are also full of patience, and the Huaguduo in the children's courtyard fully feel the care and warmth of the elders of the sect.
Du Yu watched Lei Jun leave.
To be honest, when Lei Jun first started, Elder Du never thought that he would achieve such an achievement now.
If there is anything particularly worthy of attention, it is that Lei Junnai and Xu Yuanzhen introduced Taoism to him, and later he became a disciple of Yuan Mobai.
But even so, I really didn't realize at first that this young man was so fierce... Elder Du thought to himself.
It is true that the waves behind push the waves ahead, and new people emerge from generation to generation.
From the overall perspective of Tianshi Mansion, this is naturally the best.
It's just that Elder Du Yu's heart is inevitably a little complicated.
He is about to pass the plateau and enter the decline period, and it will be difficult to make another step to the next three days of cultivation.
And Lei Jun is still in the stage of rising sun.
It's just that his sun is big enough, brighter than the sun at noon for countless people.
Du Yu suddenly felt a little ethereal at this moment.
In just such a short period of twenty years, the Tianshi Mansion has experienced countless changes, and the Tang Dynasty outside the mansion is also the same.
In such a great tide of the times, some people are like duckweed, drifting with the flow, and some people are like fish, turning into tide riders. It is really hard to describe the fate of each person.
Since it is already like this, we can only hope that there will be more people in our sect who can stand on the top of the waves, so that the ship of the Tianshi Mansion can sail through the wind and waves... Du Yu prayed in his heart.
When Lei Jun came out of the Taoist Children's Courtyard, he ran into his familiar fellow brother Luo Haoran.
There was also a girl who looked about fourteen or fifteen years old walking with Luo Haoran.
Lei Jun glanced at her and found that her real age was consistent with her appearance.
It seems that there is no problem of being possessed by others.
"Elder Lei." Luo Haoran brought the girl and bowed to Lei Jun with a smile.
Lei Jun returned a half-salute: "Brother Luo, have you found a good seedling?"
Luo Haoran: "This child is called Qin Caiwei. I met her by chance and we are very predestined, so I took her back to the mountain to practice Taoism."
According to general customs, if this girl can become a formal disciple of Tianshi Mansion through ordination in the future, she will become a disciple of Luo Haoran.
"The foundation is very good." Lei Jun looked at the girl up and down again, then looked at Luo Haoran and smiled: "Speaking of which, Brother Luo, you should not have any disciples yet, this is your first disciple."
Luo Haoran also smiled: "It is rare to have a connection, you should cherish it and be cautious."
Lei Jun was chatting with him, and suddenly his heart moved.
The light ball in his mind actually flashed at this time, and the words appeared:
[The old wind rolled up the sky, and the new seedlings rose in the east mountain. 】
Then, two fortunes flew out from the light ball:
[The best fortune, go to Xiaoxue Peak in the middle reaches of Xinjiang River before noon today, and you will have a chance to get a third-grade opportunity. There is no risk at present, and no worries. Good luck! ]
[The best fortune, stay on Longhu Mountain, no extra gains and no losses, flat. ]
This actually came out with a best fortune?
Lei Jun looked calm, but he was surprised in his heart.
It was close, not far from Longhu Mountain.
He looked at Luo Haoran, and did not look at the respectful girl beside him.
But referring to the saying "the old wind rolls up the sky, and the new seedlings rise from the east mountain", the new seedlings may refer to the girl in front of him who looks normal.
But the other party does not seem to have any problems.
And the fortune that was drawn is also a very good fortune with no current danger and no future hidden dangers.
Why is this?
Qin Caiwei has returned to Longhu Mountain with Luo Haoran today.
What arrangements can she make outside?
Lei Jun had many guesses in his mind, and he almost had to examine himself to see if he had some preconceived ideas.
"From her accent, is she a native of Xinzhou?"
Lei Jun asked with a smile: "Most of the talents in Xinzhou who are suitable for entering the Dao Sect have been swept away by us."
Luo Haoran: "So, it is rare to meet each other. I was also surprised when I met you on the Xinjiang River before."
When Lei Jun heard Luo Haoran mention the Xinjiang River, he thought to himself that it was indeed true.
However, referring to the fortune, there was only a good fortune and a flat fortune with no advantages or disadvantages. Although Lei Jun had some doubts, he suppressed them for the time being.
It was just that the new Taoist child Qin Caiwei had just been sent to the Taoist Child Academy to study, and he registered with Elder Lei first.
Lei Jun did not move immediately.
As long as it did not cause some threats or problems, Lei Jun would not take the initiative to explore other people's secrets and dig out other people's details most of the time.
After saying goodbye to Luo Haoran and Qin Caiwei, Lei Jun looked up at the sky.
There was still time before noon.
Lei Jun left the mountain gate and strolled to the Xiaoxue Peak in the middle reaches of the Xinjiang River.
It was midwinter, and there was indeed some frost and snow on the mountain.
But what caught Lei Jun's attention was that there was actually some mist on the Xiaoxue Peak at this moment, flashing a faint glow, rising up to the sky and dissipating.
Lei Jun thought to himself that it was no wonder that he had to come before noon. It seemed that the light mist would almost dissipate after noon, so there would be no harvest.
He first carefully observed the surroundings and did not see anyone else ambushing or appearing.
After a little thought, Lei Jun stepped forward and collected the light mist.
A name emerged in his mind:
[Rising Sky Flowing Hua]
