Chapter 53 The Ancient Qing Emperor
"Disciple, if you don't succeed, you should shave your head and go to the west to practice for a few years. After practicing to the third level, you can come back and recognize your ancestors. How about that?"
Su Che always felt that he was not a person who couldn't take a joke, but after hearing Yu Li's words, a cold sweat broke out on his back.
The lesson of the Tathagata of the Lion Green Lotus is right in front of us, who would make the same mistake again?
"Over in Xitian, they often like to find a few weak-willed Taoists, promise various benefits, and poach these people to their side, as if this can prove that Buddhism is superior."
Yu Liong said calmly: "As everyone knows, this kind of behavior can't prove anything except that those people are weak-willed. But having said that, if you think about it carefully, if an old Buddha from Xitian wants to convert to Taoism, even I will be very happy.
Not to mention Taoism in the world."
"A few years later, you have become a Buddha in the West, and I have also become the Taoist leader of Huang Tiandao. At that time, if you return to my sect and convert to Taoism, I don't know how many years you can keep those people in the West dancing."
Su Che was speechless for a moment. He didn't expect that Yu Li was also a cold-faced comedian, but he just couldn't bear the joke.
Yu Liong said seriously: "But your Buddhist connections are indeed quite deep..."
Su Che quickly picked up Qingdi Jiujue and placed it in Yu Li's hand to change the topic.
"The reason why my disciple is able to practice so quickly is thanks to this treasure. This treasure can gather the moonlight every night and condense the emperor's liquid."
If this object really comes from the ancient Qing Emperor, it may also prove that he has a deep "Tao connection" and save Yu Lili from thinking about lurking in the west.
Yu Liong took the bronze wine baron with a serious look on his face. He looked around and then asked.
"Where did you get this?"
"After Master taught me "The Secret of Zhou Jue Yin Tian", I once explored the area of Kulin Zen Temple in Shanyin County, and accidentally found this Jiujue. I found that it could condense the lunar moonlight, so I stayed to assist in my practice.
"
"This object is made of falling star sand. This object coincides with the three talents and is universally associated with the stars. The ancient immortals loved to use falling star sand to make some utensils for casual play. The thing in your hand must be an ancient object." Yu Liong said to Jiu Jue.
He put it down and asked: "This thing should indeed come from the hands of the ancient Qing Emperor Ling Miyang."
Yu Liong put the Bronze Jue aside: "The Tao is natural, and the Dharma is the creation. With this one Jue alone, you can still see the character of the time after all eternity."
"This disciple is stupid and doesn't know what kind of person this ancient Qing Emperor is and what kind of deeds he has done that can earn Master's praise so much."
Yu Liong smiled.
"Why are you so stupid? You are clearly a man of scheming and profound luck. But I am the right person to ask. If it weren't for a big sect like ours that comes from ancient times, I'm afraid not many people in the world would know about his past.
"
"This Qingdi Lingweiyang can be regarded as a senior of our sect."
Yu Liong paused for a moment and said awkwardly.
"Of course, if we talk about it, he can be regarded as a senior in Shenxiao Dao."
Did Huang Tiandao and Shenxiao Dao come from the same source?
Su Che was a little confused when he heard this. He had heard before that the Tathagata with the Lion and Green Lotus was born this time because of the joint efforts of Huang Tiandao and Shenxiaodao. The leader of Huang Tiandao's side was his master Yu Li.
On the other side of Shenxiao Road, there is a real person called Lingsu who is in charge.
Since the two families were originally one family, the connection is clear.
"The Taoist Scriptures say that people follow the earth, the earth follows the sky, heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature." Yu Li said: "You are an official in the human world, why do you think there is a court in the human world?"
This topic jumps a little too fast.
Suche thought for a while and said.
"There are many disasters between heaven and earth. Floods are a problem, so we need to provide relief to the victims and build water conservancy projects, all of which require the leadership of the court. Moreover, there are demons and evil spirits who cause trouble, and they also need to be managed by the court. There are also campaigns in all directions, and countries are chasing each other.
Strong, there must be a court for all these..."
Yu Liong replied: "Human beings are inseparable from the restraints of moral laws. Even groups such as the extraterrestrial demons who pursue destruction still have the unified tribes of the Dharma Masters who fight against each other."
"But these are objects that practitioners should abandon or even dislike. Therefore, various sects have always been indifferent to the idea of imitating the human court and forming a heavenly court."
Suche understood in his heart.
The fundamental purpose of spiritual practice is transcendence.
Practitioners must not only transcend birth, old age, illness and death, but also free themselves from all the constraints between heaven and earth, and ultimately become transcendent and free.
If you go up one level and find that there is a heavenly existence above your head, it will definitely not be accepted and recognized by everyone.
"But in ancient times, there was a group of cultivators who, in addition to their own detachment, also had their own views on this world. They believed that they should use magic power to change the rules and structures of this world to make it more suitable for cultivation."
"For example, by changing the laws of life and death, the longevity of all living beings in this world can be increased, allowing more people to have the opportunity to ascend the avenue. We can also adjust the laws of yin and yang to produce more of certain heavenly materials and earthly treasures."
What Yu Lili meant was that the former Huang Tiandao and Shenxiao Dao were both members of this faction.
"Once a cultivator reaches the fourth level, he needs to constantly visit the Nine Heavens Outer Territory to supplement his innate foundation with the purest mystical truth that only exists in the Outer Territory. At that time, the Outer Territory Heavenly Demon clan was prosperous, and there were countless Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons following them outside this world.
The Lord of Mo Dharma is entrenched in Zhoutian, intercepting and killing all cultivators who come to the outside world."
"This also requires the top figures in this world to come forward to compete with those late Dharma Lords."
"The threat of demons in the outer realm and the need to transform the world internally have made the high sects begin to consider whether to build a system that covers the whole world and is beneficial to all directions. At least such a system should be built in the East China Sea and Central Earth first.
Then, with Xuandu Palace as the leader, there was a discussion among the five parties and five emperors."
"Buddha and Taoism, and even the demon sect and the demon clan all have their own ideas."
"At that time, various Taoist sects discussed and based on the most basic and universal Yin-Yang and Five Elements of Taoism, the five directions were divided and each was governed by five first-class earthly immortals. The ancient Qing Emperor Lingweiyang was the immortal who decided to govern the east at that time.
"
This wine glass turned out to be an ancient treasure left by immortals!
Suche immediately felt that Zhong Shanhui, or Lord Zhongyuan, was indeed generous.
Such a thing, not to mention its specific function, is at least a very valuable cultural relic, so I just put a note on it and delivered it to my hand.
It's really generous.
"and after?"
"Later, something happened, and all the five emperors of the five directions fell, and everyone separated and lived separately." Yu Lili smiled: "It involves ancient times, and even I don't know many things. I just know that someone deliberately concealed this period of the past.
go."
"People in this world all regard the Five Directions and Five Emperors as false rumors. Some people even say that these are just the code names of the late Dharma Masters among the demons from outside the realm. It is really ridiculous."
Yu Liong put the wine prince into Suche's hands.
