Chapter 2: Leaving the country and sitting in oblivion, Tao follows nature

Soon, Lin Yuan appeared in a magical space. A huge golden paper appeared in front of him, like a screen hanging, with mysterious divine lines flowing above it, intertwined into lines of text.

【Post-Desolate Ancient Era】

[The suppression of the imperial path by Emperor Wu Shi has just dissipated, but instead of getting better, the world environment of the Beidou Emperor Star has become more and more cruel, the avenue is not obvious, it is becoming less and less suitable for practice, and strong people are hard to find. 】

[At this time in this life, you were born on the Beidou Emperor Star, in the Southern Territory of Eastern Wasteland. You were accepted as a disciple by the Master of the Zuowang Temple since you were a child. You were named Zhang Zhixuan and inherited the Taoist classics in the temple. 】

[At the age of twenty, you have gone from an ordinary mortal to a young monk standing at the pinnacle of the Taoist palace. 】

[Your cultivation and age have reached the requirements for joining the world. On this day, the master of Zuowang Temple will call you to him and ask you about your next plan:]

【1. Practice in the world and travel around the world】

[2. Stay in the contemplation and understand the Taoism]

【3. Possessed by consciousness, make your own decisions】

This kind of simulated incarnation projection does not require Lin Yuan to really spend twenty years and experience the life of "Zhang Zhixuan" again, but it is like...

"Life restart simulator?"

Lin Yuan stared at the text displayed on the gold paper, and felt slightly moved in his heart. The so-called avatar projection was actually a text simulation game!

Of course, he knew that this was not comparable to the simple text simulation in his previous life.

When Lin Yuan's consciousness touches these words, the experiences corresponding to these words will appear in his mind, and he will be immersed in the scene, as if he personally came to that period of history and experienced everything that the incarnation experienced.

After thinking for a moment, he made his choice.

【Consciousness possessed, self-determination】

Compared with the first two methods that are equivalent to trusteeship, consciousness possession is obviously manually operated by Lin Yuan himself, intervening in the development of ‘Zhang Zhixuan’ and making detailed adjustments.

Lin Yuan is very unfamiliar with this era that is not mentioned in the original work. If he rashly leaves Zuowangguan and goes out to practice spiritual practice, in this world where everyone has a brain, he is not sure that he will get into a lot of trouble at any time and waste his time.

Difficult number of simulations.

As for staying in the temple and studying the few classics in Zuowang Temple, this is tantamount to working behind closed doors and will not be beneficial to Lin Yuan's future development.

Taken together, only the choice of consciousness possession is in line with Lin Yuan's wishes. Moreover, he can also take this opportunity to integrate the cultivation and insights of the incarnation.

After Lin Yuan made his choice, his consciousness felt in a trance, and he was wandering in the world, as if he had crossed the long river of time and came to this era...

This is a mountain peak that is neither high nor short. The fresh air rushes towards you, accompanied by the fragrance of soil, flowers and grass, filled with natural atmosphere, full of vitality and vitality.

On the top of the mountain, there are tall brittle ancient trees, with old vines twining around them like horned dragons, and rugged and strange rocks standing there.

Not far away, there is an antique Taoist temple. Its name is Zuowang, which means forgetting both things and myself, and becoming one with the Tao.

"In the ultimate way, there is nothingness, and God has no way to use it."

In front of the statue of Tianzun enshrined in the temple, there is a handsome young Taoist priest sitting cross-legged on a futon, reciting Taoist scriptures.

This young Taoist priest is naturally the incarnation of Lin Yuan, Zhang Zhixuan.

On that day, Zhang Zhixuan had a long talk with the master of Zuowang Temple, and stated that he had no plans to join the world for the time being and wanted to polish the secret realm of his Taoist palace.

In this regard, the master of Zuowang Temple naturally had no objection, and Zhang Zhixuan stayed in Zuowang Temple as a matter of course.

The current era follows immediately after the Great Emperor Wu Shi.

Who is the peak at the end of the immortal road? When I see the beginningless path, it becomes empty.

Emperor Wushi can definitely be called one of the most powerful human emperors in history.

However, his appearance seemed to have exhausted the luck of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Even though the Great Dao suppression had dissipated, the Beidou Emperor Star would inevitably enter the Dao Difficulty Era.

A monk like Zhang Zhixuan who can reach the peak of the Taoist palace at the age of twenty and step into the secret realm of the four extremes is worthy of being called a young genius and has a promising future.

After Lin Yuan's consciousness possessed him, he sat cross-legged in front of the statue of Tianzun, digested all the memories and insights of the past twenty years, and began to try to get rid of the hangup and practice manually.

"At the beginning of learning the Tao, you must sit still, withdraw your mind and leave your surroundings, live with nothing, not attached to anything, and enter nothingness. Your mind will be in harmony with the Tao."

Waves of chanting sounds came from the Five Great Dao Palace in his body, exuding a mysterious and mysterious charm of the Dao, making his mind slowly calm down.

This is an ancient scripture passed down from generation to generation in the temple. It is called the Zuowang Sutra. It was obtained by chance by the founder of the Zuowang Temple. Its true origin has long been untraceable.

Later, he used this to gain some fame in the Eastern Wasteland. In his later years, he founded the Zaowang Temple here and passed down this scripture.

The Zuowang Sutra covers the mystical methods of practicing in the five secret realms. Its exquisiteness is not inferior to the Taoist Sutra that Zhang Zhixuan recited before. Likewise, this is also his main study sutra.

Although the memory has been digested, Lin Yuan is still like a beginner. He is not in a hurry to use the mysterious methods contained in the Zuowang Sutra. Instead, he follows the gods in the Taoist Palace, silently reciting the sutras in his heart and understanding them. The meaning of scripture.

At the beginning of learning Taoism, the most important thing is to learn to sit quietly, put away complicated thoughts, and get away from the worldly environment, which is to leave the state.

Let the mind be in a state of nothingness and tranquility, without being involved in anything, and reach the state of forgetting both things and myself, which is called sitting and forgetfulness.

When you leave your country and sit in oblivion, your heart will naturally connect with the Great Way and open up a path for the Great Way. This is the cultivation of the Tao.

The mind dwells peacefully in the great road and merges with it. This is the root; sticking to this root and never being moved by external things is the calm concentration.

By meditating calmly and cultivating the mind, you will naturally be able to understand the Tao and understand all things clearly. Once you understand the Tao and the principles, you will naturally be rejuvenated, escape from the cycle of life and death, and achieve longevity.

When you leave the state and sit and forget, the Tao follows its natural course. This is the essence of the Sutra of Sitting and Forgetting.

At a certain moment, Lin Yuan activated the Zuowang Xuanfa and started practicing from scratch.

Suddenly, all kinds of strange phenomena appeared in front of his eyes, such as rays of light, thousands of auspicious colors, divine springs gushing from the ground, lotuses growing in the sky, real dragons roaring, divine phoenixes crowing, purple energy coming from the east, and golden clouds coming from the west.

Many dharma images and mysterious doors are coming one after another, and it seems that there are divine voices reverberating, and the great scriptures are singing and rumbling.

His expression was in a trance, and he gradually became a little crazy, as if the rain came after a long drought, greedily absorbing the true meaning of the great road.

A mysterious and mysterious aura shrouded him, and his heart felt empty. The whole person was wandering in the ocean of Tao, entering a state where things and myself were forgotten.

This is not practice in the true sense, but a baptism of the general trend of the scriptures. It is so majestic that it submerges Lin Yuan and allows him to truly understand what practice is.
