According to legend from ancient times, before heaven and earth were divided, nothing in the universe was created.
Later, the chaos was divided into heaven and earth, and a ray of life was born in the chaos of the ten directions.
This vitality is connected to the source of heaven and earth and the great road. As chaos derives from heaven and earth, the clear and turbid qi rise and fall.
This ray of vitality also changed. It differentiated and generated more than ten innate spiritual energies, which are the innate spiritual roots and the origin of many things after the creation of the world.
They contain infinite mysteries, they are created for heaven and earth, and are the greatest treasures of the great road.
After the heaven and earth first opened, the innate spiritual roots took root in various parts of the vast universe.
Among them were ten spiritual roots, which were later successively obtained by immortals and demons from all walks of life, possessing the power to create heaven and earth.
These ten spiritual roots are respectively the innate creation green lotus, the ancient flat peach tree, the yellow plum, the ginseng fruit, the bitter bamboo, the innate gourd vine, the ancient apricot and hibiscus trees, and a green willow tree. The last one is the five needles of chaos.
loose.
This article will first talk about these ten fairy seedling spiritual roots.
Among them, the creation green lotus, which conquers the creation of heaven and earth, is an anomaly among spiritual roots.
When Qinglian opened the sky, because its attributes were too special, it was sent down by heaven, and its rank was knocked down. It was unable to continue to grow, and later turned into many innate spiritual treasures.
Qinglian was born at the beginning of chaos.
After it gave birth to a hazy consciousness, it originally tried to open up a world independently, which was the Green Lotus World, with twelve lotus platforms supporting different interfaces.
Later, suppressed by the fate of heaven and earth, Qinglian differentiated into twelve levels of innate spiritual beings. Among them, the red lotus of karma was acquired by an old Taoist who was thin and wore green robes.
This person is the Ancestor of the Minghe River (a big boss in the prehistoric setting, who is astonishing to the sky), with powerful magic and vast supernatural powers.
The twelfth-grade Golden Lotus of Merit was owned by Taoist Jie Yin, but later the third grade was gnawed away by Taoist Mosquito, and it was reduced to ninth grade.
In addition, there is a twelve-level world-destroying black lotus.
Among them, there is another lotus seed in the center, which grows the best. After countless years, it absorbs the aura of heaven and earth and grows into the thirty-sixth grade green lotus. It was later sacrificed by Sanqing and Nuwa respectively to become Taiyi Fuchen (Taishang Laojun).
, Three Treasures and Jade Ruyi (Yuanshi Tianzun), Qingpingjian (Tongtian Cult Leader) and Jiutianxi soil (Nuwa Empress).
The five leaves of the green lotus turn into the five innate flags.
They are the central Wuji apricot-yellow flag, the eastern blue lotus flag, the southern flag of off-the-ground flames, the western plain-colored Yunjie flag, and the northern Xuanyuankongshui flag.
The lotus petals turned into many innate spiritual treasures.
The lotus pod became the Qiankun Cauldron (Tai Shang Laojun used that, peeled it off and blessed Brother Monkey with the magical power of piercing eyes and golden eyes).
This is the change of Qinglian created by creation and handed down from generation to generation.
The second fairy seedling is the ancient flat peach tree (ranked in no particular order and has nothing to do with power)
Its full name is "Xiantian Renshui Flat Peach Tree".
After it was poured into the air of heaven and earth and was born, it originally rose and fell in the depths of chaos, living freely and freely.
Until one day, a graceful and magnificent woman was able to break through the innate chaos, hold a treasure hunter in her hand, identify the direction in the chaos, and move forward calmly.
This woman, relying on her treasure hunt, finally found the spiritual root of the flat peach. She was so happy that she took the spiritual root away and turned it into 3,600 peach trees.
This woman is one of the first great saints of mankind since the beginning of the world, which means the Queen Mother.
She planted the spiritual roots of the flat peach in the peach garden, and the garden was filled with flat peach trees.
The 1,200 peach trees at the outermost edge of the garden have tiny flowers and fruits that ripen once every three thousand years. People who eat them become immortals and attain enlightenment. This is the evolution of the branches and leaves of the flat peach god, which lacks charm.
Among the 3,600 flat peach trees, 1,200 have sweet flowers and fruits that ripen once every six thousand years. If a person eats them, they will ascend to heaven and become immortals and ancestors.
The 1,200 plants at the back are very powerful, with purple veins and fine cores, and they mature once every 9,000 years.
After eating it, a person can live as long as the heaven and the earth, wield the power of thunder and purple lightning, and live as long as the sun and the moon, and he will not die no matter what.
Later, this great immortal used flat peaches to socialize, and gained countless fans and a wide network of contacts. All the immortals were friends in the circle, so no one dared to offend him.
Let’s talk about the third spiritual root of heaven and earth, which is the ginseng fruit tree.
It was also born in chaos, and one day it was acquired by a Taoist wearing an apricot-yellow Taoist robe with innate hexagrams on it.
This Taoist is the master of Wuzhuang Temple in Wanshou Mountain, named Zhenyuan Great Immortal. He is also a giant in the world. He also has a bad temper and often beats people and commits crimes. His big sleeves can swallow up the universe and create a world of his own.
Ginseng fruit is also known as Cao Huan Dan.
“It takes three thousand years to bloom, three thousand years to bear fruit, another three thousand years to ripen, and only ten thousand years before it can be eaten.
It seems that after ten thousand years, it has only produced thirty fruits. Do you think it is rare or not?
The fruit looks like a child under three dynasties, with all four limbs and five senses.
If a person is destined to smell the fruit, he can live 360 ​​years.
If you eat one, you can live forty-seven thousand years.
If I can continue, I can just eat a ginseng fruit if I have nothing to do, and I won’t die no matter what.
Ginseng fruit is in awe of the five elements. It falls when it encounters gold, burns when it encounters fire, melts when it encounters water, dries up when it encounters wood, and sinks when it encounters soil. Therefore, it needs to be struck with a gold instrument before it can fall, and it is served on a plate with a silk pad.
.
Porcelain utensils must be used when eating. (Refer to "Journey to the West")
The fourth fairy seedling is Huangzhongli, which was also obtained by the Queen Mother of the West (one of the nicknames of the Queen Mother, this great fairy is the richest woman in the world and extremely arrogant).
In Longyue City, where the Queen Mother of the West lives, there are yellow plums in the city. When the flowers are blooming, there are three shadows, and when they are strong, there are nine shadows.
According to legend, this tree takes ten thousand years to bloom, another ten thousand years to bear fruit, and another ten thousand years to mature.
It only bears nine fruits in thirty thousand years.
Its flower shape is like a lotus, and its fruit shape is like a pistil. There are two characters "Huangzhong" on the flowers and fruits, so it is named Huangzhong plum.
Huangzhongli is used to increase the spiritual roots of spiritual practice. If gods smell the fragrance of the flowers, they can achieve "ten thousand years of Taoism".
If you are lucky enough to eat a fruit, you can instantly become a "Daluo Jinxian" (this paragraph is an advertisement advertised by the Queen Mother herself. Anyway, there are only a few Daluo Jinxian in the sky, and none of them are directly achieved by eating Huangzhongli).
This spiritual root is located in Longyue City on the Fairy Island in Kunlun Mountain, surrounded by chaotic energy.
If you enter Huang Zhongli's location without permission, you will be torn into pieces by the chaotic energy and will be destroyed forever.
Feng Zhi of the Tang Dynasty recorded in "Miscellaneous Notes of Yunxian·The Queen Mother Cherished Huangzhong Plums More Than Flat Peach": "The Queen Mother of the West lived in Longyue City, and Huangzhong plums were grown in the city, and the flowers all had the word 'Huangzhong' on them.
I cherish it more than a peach."
This can be seen from the fact that the Queen Mother often brought flat peaches out to entertain guests, but she hid the yellow plums and ate them herself.
I must keep the good things for myself and not be willing to give them away.
Let’s talk about the fifth Yi Xian seedling, which is bitter bamboo.
It is the innate spiritual root nurtured by the Seven Emotions Avenue. Its appearance is the same as that of a green bamboo, but it is shrouded in endless sorrow. No matter what kind of person it is, anyone who is confused by the sorrow of this bitter bamboo will have the intention of death and despair.
He committed suicide before committing suicide in the bitter bamboo.
However, although this bitter bamboo is dangerous, if you can survive the sadness of the bitter bamboo, it will be of great help to your practice.
From then on, the inner demons are gone, the six roots are pure, and one reaches a new state every day.
The Bitter Bamboo was taken away by the Taoist priest and refined into six pure bamboos, which can seal people's six senses and are innate spiritual treasures.
Let’s talk about the innate gourd vine.
This is so awesome.
It was born in Buzhou Mountain and has seven innate gourds, one each of red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple, which were obtained by Nuwa, Sanqing, Lu Ya, Hongyun and Hongjun respectively.
Red is the nine-nine soul-dispersing gourd (Red Cloud), gold is the demon-calling gourd (Nuwa), yellow is the immortal-killing flying knife (Lu Ya), green (Yuanshi), cyan (Tongtian), and blue (Hongjun) continue the incense.
, purple is the purple gold gourd (Laozi);
The gourd vine was acquired by Nuwa and used to create humans.
Therefore, our ancestors may have been gourds, and everyone is actually a gourd baby.
Later, this gourd vine turned into a treasure of merit and virtue, and was divided among the three Qing Dynasties (Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Cult Master, Taishang Laojun Laozi), Hongyun Patriarch, Nuwa, Lu Ya Daojun, and Hongjun Daoist respectively.
The fairy apricot in the innate spiritual root was born in Yuzhu Cave in Zhongnan Mountain. It only produced two fruits in its life, which were eaten by Lei Zhenzi and turned into two wings of wind and thunder.
