"Brother, be careful what you say!" Before Xuan Qing finished speaking, Xuan Jue interrupted him with a serious face, "Master has already sternly warned you and me. These so-called rumors circulating in the Taoist sect are all with ulterior motives.
They are just deceiving people with their evil words.
Not really,
Don’t believe these rumors!”
Seeing his junior brother's serious expression, Xuan Qing scratched his head and grinned: "I'm just discussing something with you. There are no outsiders here anyway, so you don't have to worry about being overheard.
Although Master often lectures you and me on this,
But he did not prohibit us from discussing these things in private.
The old man often told us that what we cultivate in Taoism is a clear and transparent state of mind. Everything can be reflected in the heart, but it will not stay in the heart forever. Listening together will make you bright, and believing only will make you dark. This is the meaning of spiritual practice."
Xuan Jue listened to what his senior brother said, thought about it carefully, and nodded: "Brother, let's continue talking - what the senior brother said is interesting. Since we haven't violated the precepts, it doesn't matter. I really want to hear what the senior brother has to say.
Those rumored insights.”
——Second Senior Brother Maoshan was moved by the Senior Brother's words, but he quickly changed his position.
“I can’t talk about opinions.
I just think that the three mountains of Dharma lineage belong to the same sect, but after all, we are not one.
Perhaps at the very beginning of the Three Mountains Dharma Lineage, they had different understandings of ‘Tao’, and even conflicted with each other.
It is only the Ancestral Heavenly Master who is exceptionally talented and whose cultivation is particularly deep. He has suppressed Lushan, the founder of the Maoshan witchcraft lineage. Therefore, he is the one who unites the three mountains of witchcraft lineage and leads the world.
"Laojun Xiang'er Collection of Annotations" is the re-revision of the words and deeds of "Taishang Laojun" by the ancestral master Zhang Daoling, forming his own understanding.
Therefore, there are two words "thinking about you" in the title of the book.
Laojun conveyed the Heavenly Sound of the Great Dao, and the Ancestral Heavenly Master revised it and understood it again.
In this process - will some of the true meanings of 'Dharma' and 'Tao' be blurred and obscured?
And, whether the system formed by my re-understanding of Laojun’s teachings can be regarded as another level of ‘consciousness’ formed after the combination of the ‘principles’ of Laojun and the Ancestral Master.
Think about it, can't it be regarded as another personality formed after the collision and combination of the minds of Laojun and Zu Tianshi?
Or maybe—in fact, Laojun has another identity,
Because of his important identity, he was named ‘Xiang’er’.
'Xiang'er' ordered the Ancestral Heavenly Master to seal six heavenly old ghosts and sacrifice eight ghost commanders - the Ancestral Heavenly Master saw 'Xiang'er' as if he were meeting the 'Laojun' himself, and naturally carried out the instructions given by Xiang'er without any hesitation.
The decree..."
Xuan Qing slowly explained some of his opinions.
When he was alive, he spent many days in the South Library, dabbling in the Taoist secrets of the past dynasties and the anecdotes of the past masters, and had his own unique understanding of some secrets - when Xuan Jue heard what his senior brother said, he was
He was dumbfounded, he could never imagine what Senior Brother Xuanqing said!
I felt like I was being distracted by Senior Brother Xuanqing’s words.
At first thought,
I still think what he said makes sense!
Xuan Jue scratched his bald and shining head, and suddenly thought of the key point, and immediately argued with his senior brother: "What senior brother said is, after all, personal speculation. There is no classic annotation to provide for what senior brother said.
Support it?
Without classics as theoretical support,
Guessing is like a castle in the air..."
"There are also classical theoretical supports." Xuan Qing nodded, looked at Xuan Jue, and sighed, "The 'Exercise Room' on the first floor of the South Library contains many books about the Palace of Spring and Autumn, and books describing affairs between men and women.
, including the book "Jin Ping Mei", which is quite wonderful.
——To tell you the truth, I was initially interested in the South Library and always went there because of this training room, which allowed me to practice my Taoist heart."
He said it seriously,
Xuan Jue opened his mouth, obviously he had a lot to say, but seeing the serious look on his senior brother's face, he was immediately speechless.
I could only listen to the elder brother continue: "In the training room, there is a book "Xiang Er Yue", which contains some Taoist principles expressed in the tone of "Xiang Er". Among them, the precepts and principles are related to what we practice today.
The precepts and the great road can be said to come from the same origin.
If ‘Xiang’er’ is not a personified ‘existence’, or a certain aspect of Laojun, then
Why do we talk about these precepts and principles in the tone of 'think you'?"
Xuan Jue was silent for a moment and then said: "It's a pity that the South Library has been destroyed by fire."
"Thunder fell from the sky,
A fire broke out in the library, burning away the biographies of the ancestors, personal experiences and experiences, and the entire training room. Only the copy of the Taoist canon in the library was left intact.
The sky fire is also strange." Xuan Qing shook his head and continued, "Junior brother, set it up - if you want to imagine that you are really a real existence, a thinking existence like you and me,
Do you think it ordered the ancestral heavenly master to cut down mountains and destroy temples, seal six heavenly ghosts, and sacrifice eight ghost commanders?
Does it have its own purpose?
What is its purpose?"
"How could I guess its purpose without even thinking about it?" Xuan Jue shook his head.
Xuan Qing then laughed and said: "Indeed, you and I have to think about it, how can we know its thoughts? But it doesn't hurt to guess - I guess -"
Xuan Qing was still talking seriously to Xuan Jue,
Xuan Jue also listened carefully.
At this time,
The lights of the eight natal fortune lamps on the altar table began to flicker.
The flames flickered more and more,
Representing the ‘bad luck’ and ‘fierce seal’ of Xuan Zhao Lao Dao, the natal Elu lamp and the natal Taisui Lu lamp are suddenly dying and are close to being extinguished!
The two immediately stopped talking and looked at each other, seeing solemn looks in each other's eyes!
"Junior brother is in trouble!"
"What spell are you using now?"
"The Great Golden Light Divine Spell!"
In a few words, the two of them made a decision!
In the dark and ghostly place, the unexpected dangers that arise will only become more dangerous than the first. There is no way to solve the danger. There is no way that the danger will be lessened than the last. Now the two of them saw the junior brother's relief lantern, and the Tai Sui lantern was almost extinguished.
It was immediately clear that other spells at the same level as the 'Golden Light Divine Curse' were useless to Xuan Zhao.
Only the Great Golden Light Divine Curse of a higher level can relieve Junior Brother Xuanzhao from his current predicament!
However,
It was quite difficult for the two of them to cast the 'Golden Light Divine Spell'.
If the 'Great Golden Light Divine Spell' is cast again at this moment, it will inevitably cause a greater degree of damage to their respective bodies. They are now in a state of neither life nor death, and are most restrained by spells such as the 'Golden Light Divine Spell'!
Xuan Qing and Xuan Jue made up their minds, but did not hesitate at all.
They each made their hand seals and were about to perform the curse. Beside the four natal fortune lamps representing Junior Brother Xuanzhao, the flames were also swaying, but there was no sign of danger. Su Wu's natal fortune lamp suddenly burst into flames.
rise vigorously,
Show three feet of brilliant light again!
Perhaps he was attracted by the light of Su Wu’s natal fortune,
The flames of Xuan Zhao's four natal fortune lamps also lit up, suddenly getting rid of the dying situation and suddenly becoming brighter!
But the danger turned into safety in an instant,
There is no need for the two of them to take action anymore!
Seeing this situation, Xuan Qing and Xuan Jue were speechless for a moment.
It’s unimaginable, what happened in the dark and mysterious world? What could have happened that could lead to such a sudden turn of events?
The two of them paid attention to the changes in the eight natal fortune lamps.
Watching the flames of the eight lights swaying, but the flame was always at a normal level and never extinguished, everyone felt relieved at the same time - a bigger 'accident' suddenly happened!
On both sides of the altar,
On top of the pure copper candlestick, a pair of candle flames rose vigorously, rising to three feet of flame!
However,
The candlelight had no temperature at all, and exuded an extremely cold aura from the inside out. The moment the cold aura emitted, the flames suddenly turned a pale green color!
As the pair of candles turned into pale green flames, the surroundings suddenly became dark!
Dark sky and yellow earth!
The underworld manifests!
Under the swirling and flowing flow of colorful energy,
Outlines with unclear depth appeared on the ground, and in the ravines, there were terrifying and strange shapes parading!
on the horizon,
There are also extremely tall, terrifying and strange appearances wrapped around colorful auras, standing majestically, like huge mountain pillars supporting the underworld!
At the moment when the underworld appears,
Between two opposing candles emitting pale green flames,
In the void, a pair of pale green eyes appeared.
This pair of pale green eyes emerged from the void, like a prelude signal for some kind of terrifying evolution - each pale green eye tore through the dim void from different angles and directions, and was embedded in the mid-air.
The pale green eyes rolled their eyes and looked around,
Strong strange charms emerged from the pale green eyes, infecting the candles on both sides of the altar. The pale green flames on the candles suddenly turned into red blood fire!
Xuan Qing and Xuan Jue looked at the pairs of pale green eyes embedded in the void, their eyes turning around, and their faces turned pale for a moment.
Their lips didn't move,
A low voice came from their abdomen.
"The gatekeeper is here!"
"He's not awake!"
"It's the ghost in him that has woken up!"
"Is it here to take us back to the underworld?"
"We must try to activate the energy of the mountains and rivers, suppress it, and repel it!"
"I'll open the true shape map of the Five Mountains!"
"I'm here to fight step by step and summon the dragon veins for blessing!"
"good!"
After the two talked in a low voice, they each decided on their division of labor.
Xuan Qing and Xuan Jue were both a little trembling when faced with the pair of pale green eyes that appeared in the void. They were no longer as calm as before. This was because they were in such a state of neither life nor death that they were caught by the underworld gatekeeper.
, the easiest to be pulled into the underworld.
Now they have to go to Maoshan Ancestral Court to complete an important matter, how can they be willing to be dragged into the underworld right now?
Therefore, we should try our best to avoid meeting the "janitor".
Especially when the 'Guardian Patriarch' has not yet awakened and the 'Guardian Gui' alone has awakened, they must try their best to avoid it!
Xuanqing put his hand into the bag,
He directly took out a 'Five Mountains True Shape Talisman' and transformed his hand seals with one hand, pinching out the 'Rising Mountain Seal', 'Zhishui Seal', 'Enter the Mountain Seal' and other seals. The Five Mountains True Shape Talisman in his palm shone brightly.
The mountains, rivers and dragon veins here are vaguely intertwined on the talisman!
He slapped the talisman on the table!
the other side,
Xuan Jue stepped forward, grabbed the 'talisman seal button' on the table, and put it directly on the corner of the Five Mountains True Shape Talisman!
Mountains, rivers and dragon veins intertwined together!
this moment,
Pairs of pale green eyes in the virtual space focused on the two of them. A layer of blood flooded from the top of the table, covering the entire table. The entire altar moved violently with the mountains and rivers connected by the two.
Tremble!
The altar of law has not been overthrown,
The gatekeeper failed to bring the two into the underworld——
But at this moment, the dragon veins of the mountains and rivers intertwined with the five mountains' true talismans overflowed with a cold and mysterious charm!
The mysterious rhyme covers the five mountains’ true talismans,
Change the talisman,
Transformed into a spell filled with strange words!
The Li Jui characters were exactly the same as the Li Jui characters on the talisman placed by Master Xuan Zhao around Senior Sister Xuan Bi’s grave that Hui Jui had changed in person at that time!
Huigui burns the sharp and strange attracting spell,
Through the altar set up by Xuan Qing and Xuan Jue,
