The statue in this hall is of a middle-aged man of medium build, wearing a Tai Chi scarf on his head, wearing a dark blue cloth that looks like a Taoist robe, and carrying a very broad gray-black long sword on his back, but it is impossible to tell that it is a wooden sword.
Or an iron sword.
In terms of appearance, he looks like a Taoist priest; but his charm is full and his eyes are particularly sharp. He does not look like a Taoist priest who exorcises ghosts and draws talismans, but looks like a top-notch Taoist swordsman. In Xu Zhenyun's recognition, he inexplicably remembered a figure similar to Qiu Chuji.
The plum water vase took out a small, light, sauce-colored wooden gourd from its sleeve, opened the cover, poured some water between its four fingers, then bent down and sprinkled the water.
Drops of water fell on the ground and disappeared in an instant.
Mei Shuiping handed the small wooden gourd to Xu Zhenyun and said: "This is the sprinkling ceremony. Among the etiquette for meeting the great sages, this is the only etiquette that requires external aids."
Xu Zhenyun took the gourd and demonstrated it as usual.
Mei Shui Ping said unhurriedly: "Mr. Daolin, whose pseudonym was Li Daolin, was born fifty thousand years ago. He founded the 'Natural Flow' and established the sect 'Natural Sect'."
"In the third century, although Taoist monks took steps to 'join the world' to assist their practice; however, this so-called 'joining the world' was actually limited to playing in the world of mortals, and was more of a personal behavior. But because Mr. Daolin took the practice of Taoism to
Pushing the boundaries further changes the definition of 'joining the world'."
Xu Zhenyun just listened quietly.
Mei Shui Ping continued: "From the first era to the third era, the end point of the Taoist practice was the 'feathering of the gods into silence'; but Mr. Daolin solved the mystery and claimed that the end point of the Taoist practice was 'ascension in the daytime'."
To complete this step of improvement, it involves the secret of Tao and Fruit.
Xu Zhenyun asked curiously: "Tao fruit?"
Mei Shui Ping said: "Exactly. Mr. Daolin believes that among the Tao and Fruit in the world, there are two types of Tao and Fruit, namely, 'out of the world' and 'into the world', which can appear in the world at any time. Only by taking the Tao and Fruit can we complete this final step."
"Since then, the four major sects, Xuanwu Jingshe, Taiqing Dao Sect, Crescent Sect, and Natural Sect, have just come to an end personally and formed the form of an Immortal Dynasty, directly ruling the secular world and stirring up troubles in the world."
"Thus, the third era was opened - known as the 'Spring and Autumn Era'."
Xu Zhenyun's eyes brightened slightly.
Along the way, following the footsteps of history, we can clearly feel that the world is getting closer and closer to what it is now.
Mei Shui Ping continued: "Mr. Daolin set the order for the sect to enter the world, and standardized the moral principles between monks and mortals. All the precepts and laws have been influential to this day, so he is known as the 'moral first'."
"There is a praise saying: Break the limit of feathering, and the Tao and fruit will open the gate of heaven."
Xu Zhenyun nodded slightly and lingered for a quarter of an hour before heading to the next hall.
The statue in the fifth hall is of a burly man wearing a short coat. His clothes are unbuttoned, revealing his strong chest and abdominal muscles. And the first four great virtues are all standing without exception. Only this statue is sitting upright on a huge stone.
the image above.
Such an expression made Xu Zhenyun inexplicably think of migrant workers.
Mei Shui Ping clasped his fists at the statue, raised and lowered his fists three times, and then said: "Mr. Yingchuan. His secular name is Lu Yingchuan. He came to the world 30,000 years ago. He opened up the 'heart flow' path and founded the sect Miyun Mountain at the same time."
Xu Zhenyun listened quietly and thought.
Establishing a Taoist inheritance and creating a sect seems to be the common denominator of the five previous great virtues.
In addition, there are also deeds that have a profound impact on Xinyuan Continent.
Sure enough, Mei Shui Ping said: "Since Mr. Daolin opened up the secret of the Tao and Fruit, among the four major sects of the Tao and Fruit, people with great supernatural powers have appeared one after another who have achieved the Tao and Fruit of the Tao and reached the level of 'Ascension in the Day'. They are known as the 'Perfect Sects'."
He is a man of the Tao, also known as the Immortal on the Ping Wheel. But there has never been a person of this level who has walked into the world."
"The path and fruit of the transcendental world is that all the sects of the transcendental world compete and compete according to certain rules. In the end, the sect whose accumulated victory reaches a certain level can achieve the path and fruit. At first, everyone only knows the path and fruit of the human world. It is similar.
"After the establishment of the Immortal Dynasty, the major Immortal Dynasties will fight against each other and stir up the situation, which can enlighten the fruit of the path of entering and exiting the world."
"But the facts are puzzling. The Spring and Autumn War is in full swing, but the fruit of joining the world has never appeared."
"Until Mr. Yingchuan solves the puzzle."
"It turns out that the two great fruits of being born in the world and being in the world are not the same; the weight of the great fruit of being born in the world is far greater than that of being born in the world. The battle between the immortal dynasties in the Spring and Autumn Era was not enough to make this great fruit come out; only the fierce confrontation between all the immortal dynasties, and finally
Only by deciding a winner who can unify the heart and the continent can he refine the fruit of the path to the world."
"Since then, the struggle between the immortal dynasties has suddenly escalated and turned into a battle for life and death, ushering in the 'Era of National War' known as the fifth era."
Xu Zhenyun answered: "So it seems that the fruit of entering the world has not yet appeared in this world?"
The original owner didn't know much about the secrets of the Immortal Way, but he had quite a wealth of historical knowledge. In the current era, the three great Immortal Dynasties - Great Liang, Great Jin, and Great Chu - are competing. In fact, this is the era with the smallest number of Immortal Dynasties since the concept of "Immortal Dynasty" was created.
Determined to be one, it has not been realized yet.
Of course, the reduction to a three-legged alliance is already the result of continuous conflicts since the era of national war.
Mei Shui Ping said: "That's right. But the way to obtain Tao and Fruit is finally clear from this."
"Since Mr. Yingchuan established the 'Xin Flow' Taoist tradition, the five major inheritances of Taoism have become extremely neat, rich and complete."
"In addition, Mr. Yingchuan also emphasizes teaching without distinction, enlightening sentient beings without being limited to human nature, and the secrets are analogous, and birds and animals can benefit from them."
"That's why Mr. Ying Chuan is known as the 'first in enlightenment' among the six great virtues."
"Praise says: Five ways form a unified system, and all spirits establish true souls."
Xu Zhenyun nodded slightly, feeling the taste.
He just listened to everything Mei Shuiping said as a story; but even though he didn't think deeply about it, he felt satisfied in his heart.
After a while, Mei Shuiping said with a smile: "Laity, it's time to go to the sixth hall."
Xu Zhenyun came back to his senses and nodded happily.
After walking around the back of the hall and stepping out of the small door, Xu Zhenyun was suddenly startled.
Between the fifth and sixth halls, there was still a small garden with a bluestone path in the middle. But the moment he stepped out with his left foot, it landed firmly on the path, and he even clearly felt the impact of the stones.
For the first time since entering the temple, I didn't "skip" the connecting section in the middle.
After walking through the short bluestone road, we entered the final temple dedicated to Mr. Chaoyin.
As soon as he entered the palace, Xu Zhenyun's eyes lit up.
The sixth hall seems to be slightly larger than the first five halls, and the inside is exceptionally bright and clean. There is no dusty feeling like the first five halls. The floor is covered with ink-colored stone bricks, about the size of a foot. The color is obviously dark, but it makes people feel sad.
Inexplicably, it gives the illusion that it is like a mirror, reflecting everything.
However, when he looked up, Xu Zhenyun's pupils suddenly dilated, his body shook, and he showed an unbelievable look!
The body immediately turned to stone, as if struck by lightning.
The statue is of a woman in white.
Wearing a nine-leaf lotus crown and a pure white gauze robe, it is not translucent "snow white", but a richer pure white.
Her facial features are mainly strong, but not angular. There is no similar template to describe her. She is probably a more dilute, majestic and ethereal existence than a "fairy".
It's just that he has short, ear-length hair similar to that of modern people, which creates a strange contrast.
This... is the female crown!
The statue is wearing a pure white robe, not a green gauze Taoist robe; there is no whisk on the hands; even the ethereal atmosphere presented by the statue dilutes the antiquity, and is completely different from the smooth and free style that the female crown presented on that day.
But starting from the nine-leaf lotus crown above the head, the two figures were easily overlapped without any mistakes.
Wait, did she have short hair that day?
Xu Zhenyun immediately found that there was a blank in his memory. This should be the most obvious memory point, but it seemed to have disappeared from his mind; no matter what, he could not think of the hairstyle of the female crown that day.
"Householder?"
Mei Shuiping looked at Xu Zhenyun curiously with a puzzled face.
Xu Zhenyun came back to his senses.
It turned out that Mei Shuiping had already completed the chest caressing ceremony of "folding arms and placing palms against shoulders", but Xu Zhenyun had yet to be seen doing it again.
While Xu Zhenyun's mind was active, he was secretly embarrassed; he didn't see clearly what Mei Shuiping did just now. If he asked the other party to repeat it, it would be too childish.
While hesitating, he suddenly realized something in his heart, and seemed to naturally know what to do, so he naturally waited for a kiss on his chest.
Mei Shui Ping said: "Mr. Chaoyin. His secular name is Ye Chaoyin. He came into the world 18,000 years ago."
"When the spiritual roots were severed and the avenue collapsed, Mr. Chaoyin's long hair spread out thousands of meters long, surrounding Xinyuan Continent three times, and then broke off at each section, enlightening its shape, and named it 'Dao Xuanjing'.
It spreads between heaven and earth, acting as a raft to cross the river. This is a great feat to save the orthodoxy of humanity."
Xu Zhenyun was absent-minded at first, but now he looked strange: "Wait a minute, you mean... the Dao Xuanjing is actually Mr. Chaoyin's hair?"
Then the "cube" in your Dantian is twenty-seven little hairs?
Mei Shui Ping smiled and said: "Exactly. This is not a secret among the major immortal dynasties."
"In addition, in terms of Taoism, Mr. Chaoyin divided each family into two, known as the 'Five Dao Transformation Ten Schools', and established the foundation from then on.
A monastic system popular in the world today.”
"The so-called way of practicing in the world has further evolved and become clearer. Mr. Chaoyin has completely clarified the systematic distinction between the way of joining the world and the way of transcending the world, deducing the 'immortal path and being close to people' to the ultimate, and created the principle of 'keeping pace with the world'."
"At the same time, we use the method of 'the five elements transform into mortals, and the immortal way approaches people' to deepen the causal connection between monks and mortals."
"After the practice of 'keeping pace with the world', the appearance of Xinyuan Continent has changed drastically again, entering the sixth era known as the 'New Era'."
“Due to his great deeds of saving Dao, Mr. Chaoyin is known as ‘the number one in mercy’.”
"Praise says: Green silk spreads across the sky, and once again establishes the roots of the Great Dao."
Xu Zhenyun had various thoughts.
What does my own time travel and the chance in the Liuhe Linglong Tower mean... Am I considered Mr. Chaoyin's "favorite"? Or is there some conspiracy behind it, pretending to cultivate me, but in the end, he actually wants to fatten me up and then kill me?
Compassion first?
Oh, the mental outlook in front of me that day, not to mention that of a female hooligan, to put it nicely, she was free and easy, harmonious and comfortable, and it had nothing to do with the image of "compassion first"...
