Chapter 70: Teaching the Dharma
"Sufferings and setbacks are not terrible. What is terrible is that we ourselves fall down in front of setbacks first. If we fall down first and then stand up again, it will be difficult!" Just where Xiao Ze was stunned, Pei Zhongyuan was pacing.
Steps, gently came behind him.
"Why is human nature so ugly when it comes to interests?" Xiao Ze had a trace of sadness on his immature face, but he uttered a mature sentence.
Pei Zhongyuan lowered his head and sighed. How could he not know what Xiao Ze was thinking, "Frustration is not terrible. The key is how to deal with setbacks in life. A person's life cannot be truly perfect without going through many setbacks.
Therefore, you will not be able to reach the peak of life. Only by walking through ups and downs can you understand the true meaning of life."
Xiao Ze listened carefully.
"Life is like a piece of rough jade, which needs constant polishing before it can become a useful tool. Although a life polished by suffering may not necessarily be great, it will never be mediocre. What we have to do is not to fall down after suffering again and again."
Pei Chongyuan said solemnly.
"I know that I won't give up easily because of this setback." Xiao Ze smiled, then looked at Pei Zhongyuan and said: "Teacher, I will go back to practice first!"
Pei Zhongyuan nodded, looking at Xiao Ze's leaving figure, he sighed in his heart. Although he had helped Xiao Ze open his spirit, and Xiao Ze could now use some basic methods to strengthen his spiritual sense, there was no way.
Even if he has Taoist spiritual roots, he will not be able to achieve anything famous if he only relies on some basic methods.
In the next few days, Xiao Ze stayed in the hut and never stepped out of the door. He used the basic methods of a monk to cultivate the power of spiritual awareness. However, after a few days, the effect was minimal. He
I am really unwilling to do so, but there is nothing I can do about it.
The basic method is just the simplest way to get started. All the disciples who have listened to the sermon in Chuandaoling will basically know it. It is not a secret. However, this method is only to guide the disciples to get started. It is not even a formal cultivation method, let alone how many.
It is too profound, so no matter how diligent Xiao Ze is, he will not be able to achieve much.
For the past few days, the old man Pei Chongyuan has been paying attention to Xiao Ze. Seeing him like this, he could only shake his head helplessly. He has good talents and is diligent himself, but what's the use? Without the method, how can he practice?
It's also useless.
The old man sighed, and finally couldn't stand it anymore. He couldn't bear Xiao Ze's behavior, so he came to Xiao Ze and said, "I'm here to teach you a method!"
Xiao Ze was in the process of practicing. Hearing Pei Zhongyuan's words, he immediately opened his eyes and looked at the old man. He was startled at first, then full of excitement, and then frowned and said: "Teacher, if you teach me the method of cultivation,
Will he be punished by Guan Nei and be accused of revealing the secrets of Taoism?"
With a long sigh, Pei Zhongyuan thought for a moment and said: "The temple master also said that he would let me teach you temporarily. There should be no problem. However, to be on the safe side, I can only teach you Taoism in private. If you don't have any practice,
When it comes time, it’s best not to show it. Anyway, I’m already so old and my life span is about to end. Even if I find it inside the temple, I’ll probably have passed away long ago!”
After hearing the old man's words, Xiao Ze felt extremely heavy in his heart. At the same time, he felt even more grateful to the old man. It was a serious crime to pass on the secret method privately. He had only been with the old man for less than two months, but the old man was willing to take such a big risk.
Xiao Ze really didn't know how to thank the old man for coming to help him.
Seeing Xiao Ze like this, the old man smiled slightly, with a kind look on his face, and said: "You don't have to hold grudges. At my age, what else do you have that you haven't seen? The World's Treasures should be studied by geniuses.
, cherishing your broom will only bury more heroes. You have Taoist spiritual roots, which are rare in a hundred years. Taoism should not be your fetters. Although the "Three Transformations of Qingling Jue" I practiced is not an upper-level Taoism,
It's not profound, but it's better than nothing. If you have other opportunities to get better Taoism in the future, it won't be too late to modify it!"
Xiao Ze was deeply moved by the old man's selflessness. Tears filled his eyes. He didn't know what to say. No matter what he said at this moment, it seemed redundant. He could only keep the old man's kindness silently in his heart.
Looking up at Xiao Ze, Pei Chongyuan said again: "Come to my room in the evening, and I will teach you the secret cultivation method of "Three Transformations of Qingling Jue"."
After that, the old man turned and left.
late at night.
The concierge in Pei Chongyuan's thatched hut was tightly closed, and the candles in the thatched hut were burning. There were only Pei Chongyuan and Xiao Ze in the room.
Xiao Ze held up a yellowed sheepskin scroll and looked at it. It was the so-called "Three Transformations of Qingling Jue".
"From now on, every night you come to my place late at night to practice the "Three Turns of Clear Spirit Art". As for what you should do during the day, remember, don't let anyone know that I am teaching you Taoism, and don't let anyone discover your spiritual awareness.
The power will become stronger day by day, otherwise it will only cause unnecessary trouble, you know?" Pei Chongyuan sat above, looking at Xiao Ze and said solemnly.
"Yes, I understand that I will not let others find out that I am practicing Taoism." Xiao Ze nodded heavily, looking at the "Three Turns of Pure Spirit Art" in his hand, feeling quite excited. At this moment,
He has regarded the old man as his true mentor.
"Jiutian Xuanqing Temple is the only Taoist sect in the world. It has collected nearly 90% of the Taoist secrets in the world. There are countless Taoist methods in the Jiutian Xuanqing Temple Taoist Palace. This "Three Turns of Pure Spirit Art" is used throughout Jiutian Xuanqing Temple.
Guan Daozhong can also be ranked in the middle." Pei Chongyuan looked at Xiao Ze.
"Ninety percent? Middle range? Isn't Jiutian Xuanqing Temple the only sect in the world that has Taoists? And Jiutian Xuanqing Temple has such a profound and rigorous exploration of Taoist secrets, how come there are only 90% of Taoist schools in the world?
"
Xiao Ze has always believed in his heart that all Taoism and practitioners in the world should be gathered in Jiutian Xuanqing Temple, because apart from Jiutian Xuanqing Temple, there are no other monastic sects in the world, and there is no inheritance of Taoism.
, and today I learned from Pei Chongyuan’s words that this does not seem to be the case.
"Yes, only 90%! The world is so big, no sect dares to say that it can cover a cultivation system. In addition to the cultivators and Taoist inheritance in Jiutian Xuanqing Temple, there are also a small number of casual cultivators in the entire Dongsheng Shenzhou.
The number of these casual cultivators is very small, and the cultivation methods they master are not too advanced, and the resources in cultivation are naturally not comparable to those of Jiutian Xuanqing Temple." Pei Chongyuan introduced Xiao Ze carefully.
Xiao Ze nodded and gained some new understanding of the cultivators in the world of cultivation.
"For these small numbers of casual cultivators in the world of cultivation, the policy adopted by Jiutian Xuanqingguan, the only holy land of cultivation in the world, is to absorb those who can be absorbed, and to suppress those who cannot be absorbed, so the lives of casual cultivators are not easy."
Xiao Ze also understands that it is normal for large sects to suppress some scattered members of the cultivation world in order to protect their own interests, let alone a large sect like Jiutian Xuanqing Temple that almost controls a cultivation system.
It's good to be able to take those casual cultivators into your own hands, but if you can't take them into the sect, you will naturally have to find ways to cut off the other party's inheritance. Only in this way can you stabilize your position in the monastic world.
Of course, this aspect also shows that Jiutian Xuanqing Temple attaches great importance to Taoism and Taoism. They can collect the few Taoism books circulated by the outside world, and suppress those that cannot be included, not to mention the Taoism that has already been in their hands.
