"The Tao can be taught, but it is not the eternal Tao..."
It is still the "Tao Te Ching", the tone, sentence fragments, tone, breathing, cadence, and even the ups and downs are exactly the same.
Taoist Xuandu did not answer Di Xin, but recited it to himself.
"This is……"
After hearing this, Emperor Xin was shocked and turned pale. He quickly sat down and listened intently.
Taoist Xuandu is worthy of being the only true biography of Saint Taiqing. Although it is exactly the same as what the Taoist priests outside are reciting, what Di Xin hears is like the voice of heaven. Every word hits the wall of his heart, and every word feels like it has great power.
will.
And this kind of will was the way of heaven that he understood. This kind of thing that could only be understood but not expressed in words was passed on to Emperor Xin through the Tao Te Ching.
[As a result of listening to Taoist Xuandu’s sermons, the host’s Taoist realm is improved!]
Di Xin entered a special Tao realm, and vaguely felt the will of heaven. It seemed that he could break it with a poke, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't poke it up. After all, it was still a little bit worse.
But even so, this kind of "inaction" thought has been sublimated, and Di Xin's Taoist realm has become purer.
[Acquire Taoist Realm: Wuwei!]
[Wuwei: There are endless changes, each has its own destination, and it is a Tao realm that masters its own special objective laws and is not easily influenced by other Tao realms.]
When Di Xin opened his eyes again, he saw Taoist Xuandu and stood up to perform a half-master's salute.
Taoist Xuandu accepted the offer of worship and said, "Junior brother is very talented. If he is not destined to be a human emperor and can practice Taoism here with peace of mind, I am afraid that his achievements in Taoism in the future will never be lower than mine."
"Senior Brother, you are so complimentary, but I misunderstood you just now."
Emperor Xin had indeed misunderstood Taoist Xuandu just now, thinking that he had not given the true scriptures to those monks, so those monks were reading false scriptures in vain. Even if they practiced for ten thousand years, they would never be able to cultivate the wonderful scriptures.
The same scriptures, the same chanting, those monks only pursued superficial things, but did not understand the deep essence at all.
The words in the scriptures, no matter how well they are decorated, are just words. The essence is to understand the rules of heaven and feel the changes in heaven through words. No matter how good the reading is, no matter how strict the rules and regulations are, if the essence is lost, it is just fishing for moon in water, and the gain outweighs the gain.
.
This is the mistake made by those monks. If they do not understand this, they will still gain nothing in the future.
"Junior brother, actually I don't want you to join the human religion, but since you have entered this sect, you should follow the master's teachings and don't go astray."
Emperor Xin was shocked when he heard what Taoist Xuandu said, but then he understood.
Whether they are Taiqing saints or Xuandu Taoists, they are all representatives of the thought of inaction. Since inaction, the rule of human emperors pursued by Emperor Xin is inherently contrary to it.
According to human religion, governing by inaction is the correct answer. Before returning to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the human race was still based on tribal development. There were no fights, no poverty and wealth, and no nobility and slaves. Everyone developed together. This is what they yearn for.
world.
The reason why Di Xin, the human emperor, is noble is because he is the king of all races, nothing more. In their view, these are all original sins.
But Di Xin did not argue with Taoist Xuandu, or said that it was not necessary at all.
"Thank you, Senior Brother, for your understanding. I will accept the teachings of Senior Brother Taboo."
Taoist Xuandu nodded, and then said, "Since you have come to me, there is the elixir room behind you. You can practice in front of me. Whatever you want is available there."
Di Xin was stunned for a while. If there were no other matters, he would really be willing to make alchemy and practice Taoism here at ease and refine a Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill with his own hands. It would be great if he could refine the Nine-Turn Golden Pill.
But Di Xin also knew that refining this kind of elixir would take a lot of time. It might take a hundred years in the blink of an eye. If that were the case, I'm afraid the calamity would have ended long ago after he returned.
"Senior Brother, although I want to learn the art of alchemy, I still hope to meet the master before deciding whether to practice it or not."
Di Xin obviously declined his kindness, but Taoist Xuandu ignored him at all and left.
And after a while
Son, the little Taoist boy came again, took Di Xin and left.
Di Xin thought that since he was here, he would be lucky enough to take a look at this alchemy room.
Not to mention the beautiful scenery along the way, Di Xin wanted to please the little Taoist boy, so he took out a piece of Ling Bee candy and handed it to him, saying, "Little brother, try this candy."
The little Taoist boy rolled his eyes, and then put it in his mouth. While eating, he said in a nutshell, "It's just a candy made of honey. It's just that this bee is special. It's not a thing from ancient times, but more like a thing from the earth. Senior brother, too."
Have you been to the underworld?"
"Of course, the little Taoist boy has been there too?"
Di Xin was very surprised, knowing that many high-level human beings may not know about this realm, and even if they knew, it would be extremely difficult to go to the realm. This Taoist boy not only knew about it, he also knew about the spirit bee, and he was obviously very familiar with it.
"What's so strange about the earth? All the more powerful Qi refiners have gone there to collect medicinal materials and minerals. Otherwise, those elixir materials would be rare in the ancient world."
Tao Tong's words also prove from the side that there are fewer and fewer alien species in the ancient world. Although fairy roots and spiritual grasses occasionally exist, these fairy root and spiritual grass movers have to survive in one place for thousands of years before they mature. I'm afraid it will be early.
It was all harvested by those Qi refiners.
While the two were talking, the alchemy room arrived.
It is said to be an alchemy room, but in fact it is extremely spacious. As far as the eye can see, there are hundreds of alchemy furnaces burning there. In front of each alchemy furnace, there is a monk refining alchemy here.
This alchemy furnace also seems to be a unified fine iron Bagua furnace. The patterns outlined on it are also curious and mysterious. It should be a kind of sacred text used to communicate between earth fire and spiritual energy.
The monks in the alchemy room are obviously much better than the group of people who studied the scriptures before.
Above the heads of these monks, various strange phenomena appeared one after another, some were medicine spoons, some were hoes, some were strange fires, and some were Bagua furnaces.
These visions are their Tao realm and are their consistent manifestations.
It turns out that the Taoist priests who read scriptures came here to refine elixirs after they reached perfection.
"Speaking of which, can you achieve perfection by reading scriptures like that?"
Emperor Xin looked suspicious, maybe he had accepted the benefit, Xiaodao Tong said, "Of course, those senior brothers will study the "Tao Te Ching" there for as little as ten years, as long as a hundred years, and then they will have perfect Taoism. This is familiarity.
Read it a hundred times and its meaning will become apparent."
"Will what is false become true?"
Di Xin looked at the various visions on their foreheads and suddenly realized that their Tao realm was different from his own.
You must know that when Di Xin's Taoist realm of Wuwei is used, there is no abnormality at all. It is like a breeze that allows his mind to blend into the Taoist realm of Wuwei.
Only when the three flowers gather at the top will the phenomenon of transparent petals appear, but there are not so many strong colors.
As for these alchemy monks, the vision above their heads is colorful, and they have changed the Tao realm into what they want, thereby helping them increase the probability of alchemy, as if their Tao realm was specially prepared for alchemy.

What is right and what is wrong will be decided by the superior and the inferior.
