Chapter 221 I suspect he is the second ancestor
After the excitement, you have to face reality.
The reality is that Xu Mo's current strength is still far from enough. He wants to land, but he has no way to do it. All kinds of cultivation methods must be as weird and weird as possible, and as scary as possible.
But it's different now.
Xu Mo found the inheritance left by the true immortal eight hundred years ago.
As the saying goes, people in the past planted trees and people in the future can enjoy the shade.
Xu Mo felt that he had to walk this road by himself and rely on this big tree.
The next question depends on the specific operation.
We have to deal with the Taoist priests in Yuting Temple first.
Judging from their appearance, if they directly tell me your cultivation method, they will probably beat themselves up.
So, it has to be clever.
Let them voluntarily learn, or even ask them to learn on their own.
How to do it?
Pull the tiger skin, pull the big flag!
A plan immediately came to mind, and Xu Mo stopped laughing and put on a serious expression.
He looked completely different from his crazy look just now.
"I was thinking about a question just now and was lost in thought. What did you two just ask?"
Their thoughts jumped. Xuan Zhenzi and the old Taoist priest both reacted for a while before saying: "How did Mr. Xu know that I teach the secret scriptures?"
"That's not it. What else did you ask just now?"
"Who does the senior Mr. Xu refer to?"
"Yes, that's the problem."
Xu Mo straightened his clothes and said seriously: "The senior I am talking about is the founder of your Sanqing Sect, Tianyuan Taoist. He and I came from the same place and learned from the same source, so he is Xu's senior."
The faces of the Taoist priests who said this changed greatly.
Obviously don't believe it.
Even with a hostile look on his face, he probably took Xu Mo as a liar.
Of course, if Xu Mo said this at the beginning, they would definitely take action and kill the liar on the spot, but just when Xu Mo said the "Tao Te Ching", not everyone can make it up.
Therefore, Xuan Zhenzi and the old Taoist priest both looked suspicious, not knowing what to say or how to ask.
Xu Mo knew people's hearts, so he took the initiative and said: "I know you don't believe it. To be honest, I just found out that your Taoist ancestor is my senior. I don't know what he did eight hundred years ago. If I knew, I would have known him long ago."
I have come to look for you, and I won’t wait until now. I can only say that he and I are from the same place, and what he knows, I also know.”
In order to prove this, Xu Mo thought for a while and asked: "Two Taoist priests, do you know the "Huang Ting Jing"?"
After saying these three words, both Xuan Zhenzi and the old Taoist priest trembled, and their expressions changed again.
Especially the old Taoist priest pointed at Xu Mo, shaking as if he had Parkinson's disease.
"You, you, how did you know..."
Xuan Zhenzi was equally shocked, but he suddenly came to his senses.
"Xu, Mr. Xu, could you please take a moment to speak."
That means there is an "outsider" like Monk Shui Quhai here. If you really have any secret scriptures, it is not suitable to talk about it in this place.
Can't even mention it.
Xu Mo understood, nodded, and explained to Shui Quhai.
Or smile: "Master Xu is going by himself. It just so happens that I also want to sit quietly and meditate!"
This is what Water Monk is good at.
You can say whatever you want, whatever you ask him to do, he will do.
Wonderful!
So Xu Mo followed Xuan Zhenzi and the old Taoist priest and walked inside, reaching the depths of the cave. It was a quiet place and should be a hidden place in Yuting Temple.
It's convenient to say whatever you want.
"Mr. Xu, please sit down!" Xuan Zhenzi's attitude was very polite. The old Taoist priest was still in shock. His attitude towards Xu Mo at this time was also very interesting.
I'm suspicious, but I don't dare to be rude.
If what Xu Mo said is true, then the other party is the 'descendant' of Dao Ancestor, and this descendant is the direct descendant of the direct line.
Naturally, don’t neglect it.
Maybe, it’s the second ancestor!
It has to be said that the old Taoist priest also has a very big imagination. As soon as he thought of the two words "Second Ancestor", he suddenly became excited.
It was as if he suddenly became hundreds of years younger.
You must know that their Sanqing Sect has never been truly glorious. When Daozu founded the Taoist court, he only preached for three days, talked about some sect rules and ideas, and then left.
What follows are all developed by the leaders of the past dynasties on their own.
Taozu said that there was no need to publicize the Sanqing sect everywhere, so they kept a low profile and did not fight for the "Taoist orthodoxy". Otherwise, there would be no Zhenggan sect to do anything now.
The Taoist sects in the world have long respected the Three Pure Sects.
Therefore, the Sanqing sect is more like the Taoist ancestors who founded it casually and left it alone.
Coupled with some things that happened later, the Sanqing Sect never developed and even showed signs of decline.
The old Taoist priest is now the oldest member of the Yutingguan family. He dreams of revitalizing the Taoist court and strengthening the Sanqing Sect, but his ability and qualifications are not enough.
Being powerless is the most regrettable thing.
But if the second ancestor appears in this world, it will be different.
Taoist ancestors said that we should not be high-profile, but should be low-key, and we should not spread teachings casually.
No one below dares to disobey.
But if there is a second ancestor, and the second ancestor says that they can be high-profile and want to promote and strengthen the Three Purities Sect, then there will be no restrictions for the people below, and they can do whatever they want.
Just the matter of removing the shackles can only be done by the 'Second Ancestor'.
Of course, the prerequisite is that there must be a ‘second ancestor’.
The old Taoist priest knew that he was thinking too much. Perhaps the person in front of him was just a daring liar who was just seeking fame and reputation?
For now, verify verify.
But just by saying the three words "Huang Ting Jing", you knew it was definitely something special.
At this time, the old Taoist priest gave Xuan Zhenzi a wink.
The latter understood, approached, and the old Taoist whispered in his ear: "I suspect that he is the second ancestor!"
Xuan Zhenzi was shocked.
But if you think about it carefully, what the old Taoist said may be true.
Because "Huang Ting Jing" is rarely known even within the Three Qing sect.
At this moment, the three of them were seated, and the old Taoist priest couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. Xu, have you seen Tianyuan Taoist?"
Xu Mo shook his head.
"Never seen it!"
This greatly disappointed the old Taoist priest.
Xu Mo said: "I told you that I didn't know that the senior founded the Sanqing Sect before. I only knew that I had the same origin as his disciple, but I had never seen him. This is indeed a fact."
Xu Mo obviously knew very well that only telling the truth would not be exposed.
So what he said was all true.
Otherwise, if you say you have seen it, if it is wrong, it will be exposed immediately.
If we start from the knowledge we have, Xu Mo will definitely be fine.
Let’s first talk about the Huang Ting Jing.
To be honest, Xu Mo doesn't remember much about this book, and has only read it a few times occasionally. Under normal circumstances, Xu Mo would never be able to remember it.
Just like a person who read a book a long time ago, if you ask him, he can probably answer it, but if he is asked to write the original text, even a top student can't do it.
But Xu Mo was able to do it.
Because he has practiced Dharma in this world, and practiced Dharma wisely. This wisdom is not just as simple as trying to gain a clear mind, it can really strengthen the brain.
Just like activating the brain's potential, you can recall even things you saw a long time ago as long as you think about them.
Even the details at that time, and even the words in the book that I glanced at casually, can be told word by word.
Without this ability, how could Xu Mo have memorized so many Buddhist and Taoist scriptures?
Of course, even if you activate your brain and have a strong recall ability, you must have seen and read it before, otherwise, it will not be remembered at all and you will not be able to think of it.
After explaining the "Huang Ting Sutra", Xuan Zhenzi and the old Taoist priest became even more respectful.
Xu Mo asked if there was anything else left by your Taoist ancestors here.
In this way, you can also verify whether what I said is true or false.
"Something else?" Xuan Zhenzi and the old Taoist priest looked at each other, obviously seeing something in each other's eyes.
Before, it was definitely impossible for them to have such an idea.
But now, Xu Mo can tell the "Huang Ting Jing", plus the previous "Tao Te Ching", which means that what the other party said is nine out of ten true.
If he really has the same origin as the Taoist Patriarch, then this would be a big deal.
It was a big deal for them, Yutingguan, and even the Three Qing Sect.
So they are now more anxious than Xu Mo, wanting to prove the authenticity of this matter.
Got it!
"The Taoist ancestor once left a treasure. The entrance is a couplet, divided into two sentences. One sentence is in the Ming Dynasty and is known to everyone in the church. The other sentence is known to no one and is only restricted by the Taoist ancestor. The Taoist ancestor said, who can match the upper and lower sentences?
The treasure left behind can be taken at will, but I have heard that no one has ever encountered it. If Mr. Xu and the Taoist Patriarch come from the same source, I guess he knows the next sentence."
The old Taoist priest said at this time.
But after saying it, he shook his head again.
Because even if Xu Mo meets him, there is currently no way to verify the authenticity.
He himself didn't know what the next sentence was.
And if you want to verify it, you have to go to Sanqing Mountain, the Taoist land of Sanqing Great Sect.
This is impossible to do now, because they have been trapped in Resentment Mountain for a long time and cannot get out.
However, Xu Mo was very interested in this treasure, so he asked: "What was the last sentence left by Daozu? Let me listen to it."
"Everyone in the sect knows this, so I can talk to Mr. Xu about it." Xuan Zhenzi took over at this time. Before that, he had discussed it with the old Taoist priest in a low voice and knew that this problem was not a big one.
"Please speak!" Xu Mo listened attentively.
Xuan Zhenzi was adjusting his Taoist robes and clothes at this moment, with a serious look on his face. After all, what he said was the words left by the Taoist ancestors, so his attitude was naturally solemn and respectful, and he did not dare to be slack or rude in the slightest.
"Taozu said: Palace jade liquor..."
Poof!
This time Xu Mo couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing.
There was nothing he could do. He was quite serious just now, thinking about what the Taoist would leave behind, but he never expected that the Taoist was also a wonderful person.
What was actually left was this sentence.
To say it's simple, it's too simple. Anyone from Xu Mo's original world can basically tell what the next sentence is.
But if you are a person from this world, no matter how hard you think about it, you will never be able to figure out what the next sentence should be.
Because, this is not a pair.
You are right, no matter how neat or gorgeous it is, it doesn't matter.
In addition, this sentence confirmed Xu Mo's previous guess.
The true immortal eight hundred years ago was indeed like me, having traveled through time.
At this moment, Xu Mo suddenly understood.
Why did the other party leave such a sentence?
"He is homesick!"
Xu Mo sighed with emotion, and there was also a rare emotion in his expression.
This time the old Taoist priest's heart was beating wildly, he stood up excitedly and bowed to Xu Mo.
Xuan Zhenzi was also stunned and stood up in a hurry. He just didn't know whether he should bow or not. Mainly, he didn't know what happened to the old Taoist priest.
"Mr. Xu must be my second ancestor of the Three Qing Dynasty. The second ancestor is the real person, and I will be worshiped by Xuan Yizi."
It turns out that the old Taoist priest's Taoist name is Xuan Yizi.
Afterwards, the old Taoist priest explained the reason.
"When Daozu left these words, everyone present was puzzled. Some of Daozu's disciples came up to ask. Daozu only said one sentence: I am homesick. The word 'home' must be where Daozu came from, but there is no one in the world.
Do you know where Dao Ancestor came from?"
"Now the Second Patriarch can understand the Taoist Patriarch's state of mind from just one sentence. It can be seen that the Second Patriarch must be the same as the Taoist Patriarch and came from the same source. In this case, it is natural that I will teach the Second Patriarch."
The logic of the old Taoist priest can be said to be impeccable.
Xu Mo had just expressed his feelings, but he didn't expect the old Taoist priest to think so much.
At this time, Xu Mo could really understand the mood of the Taoist ancestor.
"Being a stranger in a foreign land, I miss my family even more during the festive season!" After Xu Mo finished speaking, Xuan Zhenzi also knelt down after hearing this.
Xu Mo laughed and asked: "Could it be that your Taoist ancestor also said this before?"
"Yes, this is indeed a famous saying of Taozu!"
"That's right!"
This time Xu Mo was truly certain.
Xu Mo asked Xuan Yizi and Xuan Zhenzi to stand up. When Xu Mo looked at them, he felt that they were more friendly, probably because they believed in the Sanqing that he was familiar with.
Maybe it's because this great religion was founded by people like me.
The subsequent conversation will be much more relaxed and less guarded.
The three of them were like old friends, chatting and laughing happily.
Of course, Xuan Yizi and Xuan Zhenzi were still very nervous.
"Yuting Temple is a branch of the Sanqing sect. There were originally more than a dozen members of the same sect. However, since they were involved in the Resentment Mountain sixty years ago, they have encountered all kinds of strange things. One after another, members of the sect have encountered misfortunes, or
Death, or something strange, and now, there are only three of us left. We originally thought we would never see the light of day again, but we never expected that we could meet our Second Ancestor here. It is really our religion’s blessing, my religion’s blessing.”
Xuan Yizi may be old, but he was very excited at the moment.
He actually burst into tears, and when he talked about the excitement, he even trembled all over.
Xu Mo and Xuan Zhenzi both advised him.
The old man calmed down.
Xu Mo also roughly figured out the situation. Just as Xuan Yizi and Xuan Zhenzi said, Yutingguan was involved in the Resentment Mountain for nothing sixty years ago.
Afterwards, disciples in Guanzhong were killed one after another.
What they said was that the strange things happening in the Mountain of Resentment were simply unbelievable.
"However, there are magic weapons in the temple that can resist the invasion of evil spirits. Otherwise, this place may become the Great Resentment Temple like the Dayuan Temple. In the end, everything will become weird."
Xuan Zhenzi sighed at this time.
Speaking of those monks, Xuan Zhenzi said that they were pretty good. Although they had some background, they were still no match for the evil things in the Mountain of Resentment.
"The evil here can enter the water, or even be like air. Once you drink it or inhale it, you will be infected. Those who are infected will give birth to evil things, such as a woman getting pregnant. Once she is infected, there is no medicine or cure.
.”
Mentioning the strange things in Resentment Mountain, Xuan Zhenzi looked solemn.
He also said that even after death, there would be no peace, and the body would be invaded by evil spirits.
At this time, Xu Mo thought of the corpse in the ruined temple.
The corpse was actually invaded by something strange. Xu Mo could feel it at the time, but the other party didn't move. Xu Mo saw through it but didn't say anything.
Now that he's here, Xu Mo's principle is to try not to cause trouble.
The other party is lying still and pretending to be dead. Do you have to go over and kill them?
Not necessary.
Another example is that at the very beginning, when encountering the strange thing occupying Mrs. Luan, the other party also knew how to advance and retreat. Knowing that Xu Mo was not easy to mess with, she gave in.
Obviously there are many types of weirdness.
Some follow the rules.
Some are unruly.
This time he met the Yutingguan lineage. Because of the 'travel pioneer' eight hundred years ago, Xu Mo was naturally close to this lineage.
So naturally we want to help and work together to get out of trouble.
As a result, both Xuan Yizi and Xuan Zhenzi wanted to take Yu Yanguan away from Resentment Mountain together. Xu Mo lectured them: "In the world of humanity, the focus is on people. If people are there, the inheritance will be there. If people are all
If it’s gone, what’s the point of leaving a Taoist temple?”
