Lin Taiwei once mentioned a record in an ancient manuscript to Shi Buquan and his wife——
"The calamity cloud is about to rise, and all sounds will disappear. All senses will be cut off, and the soul will be alone. There will be no distinction between heaven and earth, and it will return to chaos. The master suddenly appears, sighing that he knows that he can't cross, and instead of destroying them all, it is better to use the ancient method to self-transform, so
Interpretation of form and spirit...
In a trance, the mountains and rivers of the fairyland appeared, and soon the sky and the earth returned to clarity. The traces of that world were hidden and could no longer be seen. Looking around at the grass, trees and animals in the mountains, there were occasionally missing ones, and their destination was unknown, and they were suspected of being carried up."
The above content was left by the disciples who witnessed Qi Yuanshuo's heavenly punishment. There was no Yuanshuo Sect at that time. Two hundred years later, the descendants of Qi Yuanshuo's secret inheritance founded the Yuanshuo Sect, and also collected and organized many relics about the ancestor.
and anecdotes.
This manuscript is made of paper and was in a state of dilapidation at the time. The events recorded are difficult to verify due to the age, so it was carefully preserved by an expert using magical means.
This fragment of the manuscript is an important historical document of the Yuanshuo sect, and it is also the only record that the patriarch has "ascended to immortality". It can at least prove that Qi Yuanshuo's cultivation at that time has reached the end of the world.
Ordinary disciples are not qualified to consult this book. Only the master, the elders and the deacon of the Sutra Pavilion can see this book. The monks from the Yuanshuo Sect who came to the scene today are precisely the master Mei Yanxue and the deacon of the Sutra Pavilion Mao Chongjin.
But being able to see it does not mean that you have actually seen it. Who would look through such things if they have nothing to do? Not all things related to spiritual practice are in the Zongmen Sutra Pavilion. There are also many fragments of historical manuscripts like this.
Lu Gaoqian was also the deacon of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion back then. One of his hobbies was to consult various classics and records and combed through the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. That was many years ago.
A few months ago, he suddenly found the leader, Mei Yanxue, and mentioned the records in the fragments of the manuscript.
Because an outer sect appeared in the Kunlun League in recent years, Lu Gaoqian also happened to hear about the speculation about the origin of the outer world. Recalling what he saw in his early years, he suspected that Qi Yuanshuo had not succeeded in ascension, but had failed in the celestial punishment and transformed into a spirit.
For the outside world.
Lu Gaoqian suggested that he go to Fang Waimen privately for help, and the two parties cooperate to find the world outside Fang, hoping to successfully open it and enter it. His purpose is very simple, he wants to perfect the sect's inheritance and find the relics of the ancestor.
It has been 1,400 years since the Yuanshuo sect was founded. Masters have emerged in large numbers throughout the generations, and the inheritance has been endless. Each generation has disciples who have achieved great breakthroughs. Judging from the chronology, there has been no interruption.
But there is another thing, that is, in the past fourteen hundred years, no one from the Yuanshuo Sect has ascended, not even one who has broken through the nine realms in cultivation. The highest cultivation level of the ancestors in the past has only been in the eight realms.
Since the Yuanshuo sect was established, the genealogy records of the disciples of all generations have been complete and clear. Because of this, this fact is also clear.
Therefore, Lu Gaoqian guessed that the inheritance of the secret method received by Yuanshuo Sect may be incomplete, or at least incomplete. Lu Gaoqian's cultivation level is close to the perfection of the Eighth Realm, so of course he is particularly concerned about this kind of thing.
Even if there are deficiencies in the inheritance of the secrets of the Yuanshuo Sect, and successive generations of patriarchs have failed to complete them, then what else can be done one thousand four hundred years later? The emergence of rumors about the origins of the world beyond the square made Lu Gaoqian think of a possibility.
If Qi Yuanshuo's form and spirit are truly transformed into a secret realm outside the realm, then by finding and opening this secret realm, there may be a chance to obtain the complete inheritance left by Qi Yuanshuo, and there may be other gains.
For example, Qi Yuanshuo had an artifact called Buque Gou. It was a portable magic weapon that he personally refined. It was said to have endless magical uses. After it ascended, it disappeared without a trace. If not, it would have been left in the secret realm outside the prescription.
The purpose of Lu Gaoqian telling Mei Yanxue this was of course to encourage her to go to Fang Waimen for help in the name of the sect, and this matter could only be done in private and would not be publicized.
Mei Yanxue rejected the proposal on the spot, stopped it and warned Lu Gaoqian for three reasons.
The first and most important point is that the Yuanshuo family respects Qi Yuanshuo as their ancestor. The relationship is only a legal heir relationship, and there is no physical heir relationship. Not only does it not exist under today's social rules, even according to the social rules of 1,400 years ago, Neither.
Qi Yuanshuo left behind many disciples, one of whom founded the Yuanshuo Sect two hundred years later. The Yuanshuo Sect only received the legacy of their ancestor, and it cannot be said conversely that everything belonging to Qi Yuanshuo belongs to the Yuanshuo Sect.
The patriarch in the sense of an orthodox heir should be respected and grateful by all the disciples of the Yuan Shuo Clan. The Yuan Shuo Clan does not have the right of inheritance or ownership of Yuan Shuo's personal property.
Regardless of whether Lu Gaoqian's guess is true or not, even if it is true, going to discover the secret realm outside the place where his form and spirit have been transformed is simply equivalent to digging up graves and digging up corpses!
Could the Yuan Shuo Clan do such a thing? What would it mean if word got out? I guess Lu Gaoqian also knew about this, so he came to Mei Yanxue privately and suggested that the matter should not be made public.
Lu Gaoqian's explanation for this was that he would rather bear the crime of going against one's will personally, even if he was expelled from the sect afterwards, but he would also perfect the inheritance of the Yuanshuo sect's secret method and benefit future generations. This is a very beautiful thing to say, but Mei Yanxue does not agree with it at all. Approved!
The second point is that Mei Yanxue believes that Lu Gaoqian's idea itself is wrong. They both have Dacheng cultivation, so they should understand that there is no problem with the inheritance of the secret method of Yuan Shuo Sect. After the cultivation reaches Dacheng, the role played by the master is only enlightenment. Opportunity.
Mei Yanxue also used Haitian Valley as an example. Tan Sanxuan, the previous head of Haitian Valley, himself did not even achieve a breakthrough, but his direct disciple Yu Cangwu is now a well-known master in the Kunlun cultivation world and has reached the nine realms.
In the past 1,400 years, no one from the Yuan Shuo Clan has ascended to the next level, or even broken through the Nine Realms, because the opportunity has not come yet. And the Yuan Shuo Clan has also maintained an unbroken lineage for 1,400 years, which is enough to prove the inheritance left by the founder. clever.
The so-called chance of spiritual practice is as mysterious as it is mysterious. Look at how many sects have been extinct since ancient times.
Taking a step back, even if the inheritance of Yuanshuo Sect's secret method is not perfect, then it is what future generations should do to supplement and improve it. If it cannot be done, it can only be said that future generations have no future, and we cannot place our hope on digging up the ancestors again. grave.
Mei Yanxue also specifically emphasized a very important factor. For thousands of years, the Yuanshuo clan has already acknowledged that the founder Qi Yuanshuo had ascended to immortality. But now they want to deny this and claim that Qi Yuanshuo failed in the celestial punishment. What does this mean?
Lu Gaoqian's current thoughts are already a hindrance to his knowledge. If he really does it, it may become a hindrance to his karma, and it will be even more hopeless to break through the Nine Realms in this life. Mei Yanxue's cultivation level is not as good as Lu Gaoqian's, but it does not prevent her from warning Lu Gaoqian like this.
Qi Yuanshuo knew that the catastrophe was coming, and had already made arrangements for the affairs of the world before going to the depths of Yanshan Mountain to meet the catastrophe. For an expert like him, there was no situation where he wanted to keep something but didn't. .
Gu Xuan
Therefore, Mei Yanxue believed that Lu Gaoqian's plan was also against the wishes of the founder.
Lu Gaoqian had different opinions on this. Based on the fragmentary records of the manuscript, he deduced that if Qi Yuanshuo transformed himself into the world outside the world, it might be just a temporary idea. Since he left the world outside the world, he still hopes that future generations can discover it and pass it on.
Mei Yanxue refuted him, saying that there is no point in making such wild predictions. No one is sure of success in the face of a natural disaster. Various possibilities should have been thought of in advance, and Qi Yuanshuo's final choice is included in these possibilities.
The third point is also an inference based on the first two points. There is no physical heir relationship between Yuanshuo Clan and Qi Yuanshuo, and Lu Gaoqian’s idea itself lacks basis. So isn’t it absurd to ask Fang Waimen Clan for “help”?
Even if the nature of the world outside Fang is special and is now equivalent to a secret treasure without an owner, the nature of this matter has become that Yuanshuo Sect seeks cooperation with Fang Waimen to discover the secret treasure.
Then a question arises, why should Fang Waimen cooperate with Yuanshuo Clan? If this secret treasure is really discovered, what role did both parties play? The answer is that Yuanshuo Clan has almost no role at all!
Apart from providing specious and unverifiable information from a fragment of the manuscript, and pointing out an approximate location deep in the Yanshan Mountains, the Yuanshuo Sect could do nothing. Verifying the authenticity of the information, and finding and opening the Fangwai Sect all belonged to the Fangwai Sect. live.
Under such circumstances, even if something is gained from cooperation, how should it be distributed? There is no reason for the Yuan Shuo Sect to take the lion's share. By then, it should all be the Fang Wai Sect's gain!
In short, there was a heated debate between the two, and in the end Lu Gaoqian had to tell Mei Yanxue, just pretend that he had never been there, and there was no need to tell anyone else about it.
Mei Yanxue agreed, but she also made Lu Gaoqian promise to give up this idea and not go to Fang Waimen to discuss the matter again. Lu Gaoqian also nodded.
In fact, Lu Gaoqian is the number one master of the Yuanshuo sect. He is Mei Yanxue's senior brother and can take over as the leader immediately. However, Lu Gaoqian himself does not like to be involved in trivial matters in the sect. He usually likes to travel around the world and be romantic, so he takes the position of leader. The door position was given to Anita Mui.
Since Mei Yanxue inherited the position of head, she must be responsible for the affairs of the sect. Lu Gaoqian's proposal was rejected and he even received a beating.
But Mei Yanxue didn’t expect that something like this would happen yesterday, involving Wu Liang Sect elder Lin Taiwei! Today, Mei Yeshi asked on behalf of the Kunlun Alliance, and Mei Yanxue had to tell the public a few months ago What happened before.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone had different expressions. In particular, many junior disciples from various sects were thinking about another thing, which is the so-called "real people don't lie". What is the point?
Mei Yanxue undoubtedly has a great level of cultivation, and no one doubts that what she said is not true. But in her report, she had clearly promised Lu Gaoqian not to tell the matter, but now she said it in public. Does this count? What about breaking your promise?
This kind of issue is not something ordinary people take for granted. First of all, what Mei Yanxue said is indeed the truth, and it is a fact that she must tell. Secondly, she promised Lu Gaoqian not to tell anyone, but the prerequisites for this promise have changed.
Dacheng Zhenren can understand that effects change according to causes. But for the younger disciples present, it was another unexpected on-the-spot pointer.
If some people take it for granted that they can use "real people keep their promises and never lie" to play clever tricks to set traps for superiors, they can rest easy.
There is another person present who is rather embarrassed, that is Yu Cangwu’s master, Tan Sanxuan, who is now the Supreme Elder and the leader of Haitian Valley. Yu Cangwu has not arrived today, and it was Tan Sanxuan who came to Haitian Valley with one of his disciples.
Mei Yanxue just mentioned the past events of Haitian Valley. She couldn't tell whether she was praising him for his good teaching skills or hurting his cultivation. Such words are not suitable to be said in person, but it is even more inappropriate to hold back on such occasions. Mei Yanxue There was no concealment when reporting.
After Mei Yanxue finished speaking, Mei Yeshi asked again: "Who among the Yuanshuo sect today has seen the fragments of the manuscript?"
Mei Yanxue: "There are only three people besides me, namely Lu Gaoqian and Mao Chongjin. I have never talked about them to others."
Mei Yeshi: "Where is fellow Taoist Mao Chongjin?"
Mao Chongjin: "I have never mentioned it to others!"
Mei Yeshi: "Where is Lu Gaogan?"
Anita Mui: "As of eight o'clock tonight, I have not contacted him."
Why is it before eight o'clock tonight? Because everyone will have a meeting at Baihuashan Dojo after eight o'clock, and there is no mobile phone signal here.
Mei Yeshi stopped talking and looked up at the sky with his hands behind his back. Seeing that he had been watching for several minutes without moving, someone finally couldn't help but said: "Leader Mei, what are you looking at?"
Meiye Shitou was not too humble and said: "I'm waiting for someone, Senior Brother He Feng and Head Xing. Please wait for a moment."
Hua Zhenxing had already guessed what He Feng and Xing Duze were doing. The scene fell into a strange state of silence, and everyone was almost looking up at the sky.
Hua Zhenxing paid attention to the time. It was now 8:45 pm, which meant that in just one class, many things had been investigated, and this was even without Lin Taiwei and Lu Gaoqian being present. situation.
About five minutes later, everyone seemed to hear a sword roar in their souls, and then a spiritual message came: "Yuanshuo Sect Elder Lu Gaoqian has arrived!"
Fang Longguan's disciples opened the Baihuashan Dojo Array in time, and a sword light fell from the sky, landing on the ground and turning into two people. Then another sword light fell on the ground, and turned into Xing Duze, the leader of the Qingcheng Sword Sect.
Just as Lu Gaogan, an elder from the sect and the front guard arrived, Xing Du followed. Lu Gaogan had a tall nose and wide eyebrows, and a strange face. He was dressed like a Taoist priest with his hair tied up and a high hairpin.
