Chu Chen learned his lesson. Before taking the stage to preach the scriptures, he mobilized all the Yuanjun in his body to cover up his bone age and shielded outsiders from prying eyes and spiritual consciousness.

At first glance, he looked young, but it did not cause a stir. Uninformed people just thought that Chu Chen was an old man who had learned excellent facial expression skills. Everyone was respectful, pricked up their ears, and listened attentively.

Chu Chen was quite satisfied when he saw this scene.

People are always so strange. Master Xu Ping wished that he could be a few years younger, so that he would be chased by his disciples and face better.

However, Chu Chen felt that he was too young and could easily attract criticism, and that there would be many inconveniences in working in the public sector.

Finally, he no longer suffered criticism because of his age. Chu Chen nodded with satisfaction.

Looking around, he saw that everyone's eyes were on him. He had no stage fright. Lord Tongue Yuan showed his magical power. As soon as he opened his mouth, he spoke with great majesty, sweeping the land for miles:

"Fellow Taoists, today I will explain to you the "Lingbao Saves People Sutra". Fasting and chanting this sutra has great merits. It can eliminate natural disasters and save people from poison. Men and women will be protected and saved, and they will live forever."

As soon as they heard that the lecture was "Lingbao Sutra", everyone present looked surprised.

The "Lingbao Saves People Sutra" is the source of all dharma streams of Taoism. It is the first of the group of sutras and has a very high status.

Of course, some people changed their faces on the spot.

That is Qingdu and Rouyun.

Although they were worried that the mountain chief's sermon would not go well, they still had hope. After all, the mountain chief is a serious fifth-level expert. If he talks about the life scriptures that he has studied for many years, even if there are no other commanders who are amazing, he will definitely be good.

Where to go.

But

Isn’t the Shanzhang’s natal sutra the Huangting Sutra? Why did he suddenly teach the Lingbao Sutra of Savioring People?

"this"

The expressions on the faces of Rouyun and Qingdu were both wonderful, and they were feeling quite uneasy in their hearts.

The old monk, Master Tongda, the governor of the county, entered meditation. His face was neither happy nor sad, but his heart was still filled with waves.

In fact, Master Tongda was quite critical of the Taoist mountain chief sent by Xianting.

It has nothing to do with personal grudges. He has no personal opinion against Chu Chen. It's just that Chu Chen is too young.

Although the talent is high, the growth rate must be very fast, but Yunzhou is in the stage of expanding territory and vigorously advancing, and there is no time to wait for this genius to grow.

As the governor of a county, he is in charge of the affairs of the county's demons, demons, and gods. It is a complex and complex matter with heavy responsibilities. He walks on thin ice, fearing that he will not do well or that unreliable subordinates will hold him back.

Of course, Master Tongda had not shown it before. Today, he put aside his important errands in the Department of Ghosts and Gods and personally attended the opening ceremony of the Taoist temple to give lectures. He wanted to take a test and wanted to see what this talented man from China was capable of.

On the viewing platform, the only one who has confidence in Chu Chen is probably Qingying, the little devil.

On the futon on the high platform, Chu Chen felt the various emotions of everyone in the dojo and understood clearly in his heart.

He has reached the most critical step.

Today, if he can take this step and win the applause of the whole house, he will be able to break all doubts, be proud and proud, and truly start to preach the education of Yunzhou.

Thinking of this, Chu Chen was determined, and immediately abandoned distracting thoughts and calmed down his breathing.

Before reciting and explaining the Taoist scriptures, he first thought about the transformation of the spirit, and the spirit turned into the Yuanshi Tianzun, sitting on a five-color lion floating in the air.

The lion is the majestic god of the Yuan Dynasty.

When the five qi heads towards the Jiang Palace, the majestic spirit transforms into a lion. The god of heaven transformed by the primordial spirit rides on it and enters the Dantian. The left side is green, the right side is white, the front is red, the back is black, and the middle is yellow, so there is the image of a five-color lion. Five elements.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, being able to think about "Yuanshi Tianzun Xuan is sitting in the sky with a five-color lion floating in the air" means that Chu Chen has understood the true meaning of the alchemy path in the "Lingbao Saves People Sutra", has complete five elements, and has extraordinary attainments.

"In the past, in the clear sky, the blue sky sang and the earth was full of flora, and I received the immeasurable best in saving people from the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty."

"When you recite this sutra, your soul will be pure and righteous, your vitality will last forever, you will not suffer from suffering, your body will be bright, you will be a bodyguard in the three realms, you will be greeted by the five emperors, you will be greeted by all the gods, your famous book will be sent to heaven, you will be fulfilled with your merits, and you will ascend to the higher realms."

Chu Chen realized the true meaning of the alchemy method in the "Single Treasure Sutra", which contained mysterious Taoist charms. As soon as he opened his mouth, there was an extraordinary sound, and the sound of the Dharma was rolling, as if a heavenly deity was preaching, majestic and majestic, sweeping through the Taoist temple.

Originally, many people in the ashram had not yet concentrated their thoughts and were confused. When they heard this melodious and mighty voice, which seemed to be the sound of the Dharma floating from the sky, everyone felt like a wake-up call, and their whole bodies were roused.

"What a profound attainment in alchemy!"

Among all the people present, Master Tongdao had the highest level of Taoism and cultivation. Although he practiced Buddhism, he could see the way as soon as Chu Chen opened his mouth. With his clairvoyance, he faintly glimpsed the vision of "the Heavenly Lord Dharma Xianxuan sitting on a five-colored lion floating in the air."

Immediately, Master Tongda was astonished.

Without profound attainments in alchemy and a profound understanding of the Taoist scriptures, it would be impossible for such a vision to occur when preaching the scriptures.

"I didn't expect that Fellow Taoist Lingxiao would hide his secrets so much. With this accomplishment, he is probably considered the best among all the county Taoist mountain chiefs!"

The look on Master Tongda's face was wonderful.

Before this, he was dissatisfied and worried about the personnel arrangements of Xianting, but in the blink of an eye, the dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared and was replaced by joy - he had found a treasure.

Master Tongda's joy only lasted for a moment. After a while, he had no thoughts at all. His whole soul was empty, and his mind was completely attracted by the mighty sound of preaching.

There is no other reason. The moment Chu Chen opened his mouth to lecture, the rays of light from the Heart Temple's teachings flew out and hung around Chu Chen's body. Like a god or a saint, he shone brightly and illuminated all the listeners in the Taoist temple.

Not only Master Tongda, but also the high-level Taoist cultivators on the viewing platform, the monks in the audience, the Zuo Taoist monks lurking deep in the dense forest, the demon monks, and even ordinary birds, beasts and insects, all looked at the rays of enlightenment rays above their heads. On the high platform, listen to the sounds of the sky with your ears raised, and be intoxicated by the Taoist scriptures, as if you are intoxicated.

There are sixty-one volumes in the "Lingbao Saving People's Sutra", each volume has its own heading, and the content is explained based on the first volume.

The entire classic can be divided into three major categories.

The first category explains the wonders of yin and yang, the three talents, and the five elements. It tells about the creation of the universe, the creation of heaven and earth, and other avenues of heaven and earth, which are mysterious and mysterious.

The second category expounds on maintaining one’s appearance and nourishing one’s spirit, seeking immortality and seeking truth.

The third category is to pray for relief, eliminate disasters and solve problems, and control ghosts and suppress demons.

The entire Dao Sutra is extensive and profound, with great merits and virtues. It is the core classic of Shangdong Xuan Ling Bao Sect, the opening sutra of Dao Zang, and the source of the Dharma Realm.

There are sixty-one volumes in total, and Chu Chen naturally cannot explain them one by one. He just recited the opening volume one, annotated the meaning of "Lingbao has no measure of human beings", and then extended the practice of alchemy, explained the mystery of inner alchemy practice, and explored

The way to live forever and seek truth.

This commentary on the true meaning of the inner alchemy in the "Lingbaodurenjing" comes from Shang Yangzi, a Taoist senior. Chu Chen understood and absorbed it, and integrated it into his own insights. He added to the shoulders of giants and formed a set of alchemy theories that are unique to him.

.

Reciting scriptures, annotating their meanings, and explaining the inner alchemy path are quite profound.

There are only a few people in the audience who can keep up with Chu Chen's thinking and fully understand the mysterious method of alchemy.

However, even if you can't understand the whole article, you can still understand only half of it, which will be of great benefit to low-level monks, and their moral practice will improve.

This is also the reason why the audience booed and asked the Taoist priest to give a lecture.

A fifth-grade strong person has profound Taoism and deep understanding. Even if he only understands a little, he will benefit a lot.

However, Chu Chen not only had attainments in Confucian classics, but also had profound attainments in alchemy. He also had the Xiaguang teachings from the Heart Temple and the magical power of "Heart Tells the Gods".

When Chu Chen was lecturing on the scriptures, the rays of light shone brilliantly and showed off his magical powers. The true meaning of the scriptures emerged in the hearts of every listener, as if they were enlightened. Everyone was mesmerized and immersed in it.

Chu Chen's lecture lasted from sunrise to sunset.

Around the dojo on the outskirts of the city, all living creatures were prostrate on the ground, motionless. Wild beasts and birds did not hunt, deer, muntjacs, cattle and rabbits did not eat grass, poisonous snakes and insects lay dormant, silent.

It was as if he had been taught by a saint and bathed in the light of the great road.

When the sunset filled the sky, the sound of heaven floating in the dojo on the outskirts of the city suddenly stopped, and the silent nature came back to life again, with birds flying and animals walking around, and insects neighing. Everything returned to the same state as before.

Birds, beasts and insects cannot understand the true words of the saint, and they have missed an opportunity to transform from the ordinary to the real.

The monks and monsters in the dojo were waking up from a dream.

However, there was no scene in the past when the master’s sermon ended and the audience cheered.

After the sermon ended, there was silence inside and outside the ashram.

Everyone present seemed to be still immersed in it. Everyone closed their eyes to relax and savor the insights they just had.

Some people have a faint smile on their faces and are in a happy mood, as if they have experienced great enjoyment and are extremely happy;

Some people are very upset and hate that they have taken a detour;

Some people are overjoyed, as if someone who has been stuck on a rough road for a long time has found a bright road, and they are inexplicably excited.

Master Tongda, the governor of the county, was the first to wake up, with a look of aftertaste on his face.

After thinking about it, he was extremely surprised.

He practiced Buddhism intensively, converted to Buddhism, and had little exposure to Taoist scriptures. However, when he listened to Chu Chen's sermons, he was deeply attracted, and he almost couldn't control himself, and he had the idea of ​​​​converting to Taoism.

"What a genius from the middle-earth country, but I have the eyesight not to recognize Ling Yunmu. I never expected that Taoist friend Ling Xiao, at such a young age, has such attainments in Confucian classics and alchemy, that he would actually resonate with me and have a heartfelt complaint.

The vision he preached was amazing, really amazing.”

Master Tongda no longer had any complaints about the personnel arrangements of Xianting, but only surprises.

He has perfected the fifth level of Taoism and is only one step away from the realm of great supernatural powers. However, after listening to the scriptures, he actually had insights and was greatly inspired.

The level of his lectures and Dharma teachings was a bit unqualified for being the head of the County Daoyuan.

There are two people, Rouyun and Qingdu, who have similar ideas to Master Tongda.

They had always been worried about their mountain chief's sermons and teachings, thinking that the mountain chief was too young and his classical attainments would definitely not be as good as those of other county and Taoist school chiefs. After a comparison, they would definitely be outclassed.

The entire Wanquan Taoist Temple may be eclipsed by this.

However, Rouyun and Qingdu were deeply shocked when they heard Jun's lecture.
