The Demon King Fan looked at Hua BiaoBiao with gratitude and said, "The achievements of Cheng Zong are not only dependent on his cultivation level today. If I can officially join the Wanbian Sect, it is also a blessing for my practice in this life. Please fulfill it!"
Cheng Tianle changed his mind and said, "Fellow Daoist Fan has amazing supernatural powers. This is your achievement of hundreds of years of self-cultivation, not the inheritance of Wanbian Sect. If you are willing to make this connection, I will naturally not be able to seek it. This way, you must take precepts and protect the rules of the sect when you enter Wanbian Sect, but I am not too restricting you. Except for the ritual affairs that must be done by the sect, the rest of the sect can be done by yourself."
Before Fan Caiyao answered, Zi Hao said, "That's it. The sect of practice and inheritance only enlightens the disciples in their practice and does not interfere with their private affairs. They have no other driving force except the responsibility of protecting the sect. If they serve the sect by consciously and voluntarily, the sect will give them another method of fate."
Of course, this great general manager also wanted Wanbian Sect to recruit a demon king, and his words were stable. Fan Caiyao quickly continued, "I know the rules of Wanbian Sect. Since I have this wish, I will swear to protect me. Will the subordinates of the sect have to hand over a piece of original body? Crocodiles will constantly change their teeth. Over the years, I have saved a lot of teeth, all of which are at the level of heaven and earth treasures. I took one of them to implement the rules, and the rest were dedicated to the sect's utensils."
After a while, the words were decided. Fan Caiyao joined the Wanbian Sect and was a peer of Cheng Tianle and others. In addition to abiding by the rules of the Wanbian Sect and having the responsibility of protecting the sect, he could act on his own every day. Cheng Tianle was very happy. The banquet ended happily. On the second day, he held an introductory ordination ceremony for Fan Yaowang and gave a Luwu Shenlun Pill on the spot.
For this ceremony, the expansion project of the Wanbian Sect’s sect temple was suspended for a long time, and all the demon cultivators who came to help came to the back garden to witness the ceremony. Cheng Tianle invited these mountain demon cultivators to participate, which of course has various meanings. First, it means that the Wanbian Sect guides the monsters in the world to practice in the world, and even the Demon King is no exception. Secondly, there are many little monsters present who want to join the Wanbian Sect. This matter is hopeful but difficult. Let’s see what kind of masters the Wanbian Sect accepts this time!
After the ceremony, Fan Yaowang Caiyao was a member of the Wanbian Sect. Although Cheng Tianle let him do everything by himself, Fan Caiyao stayed in the sect temple. Is there any better place to practice than here in the world? Fan Caiyao also joined the project of the expansion of the sect temple. First, he was instructed to command a group of small demons to build his own practice quiet room. Of course he was willing to do such things.
A demon king from Kunlun Fairyland commanded a group of little demons from Kunlun Fairyland. He was very comfortable to do his job. So, this newly-entered demon king deacon serves as the "site commander-in-chief of the expansion project of the sect dojo", which is also the first sect affairs he is responsible for.
There was a conversation between Fan Caiyao and the sect leader Cheng Tianle. Cheng Tianle never hides his own private interests. Since Fan Yaowang has already taken the precepts, he taught the magic tricks of the demon-revision sect secretly with his divine thoughts and talked about his various insights in his practice. This set of unique magic tricks is only Cheng Tianle who has practiced and proved them from scratch until now. There are many subtle features, except for him, he may not even explain the senior masters of the Demon-Suppressing Sect who created this set of magic tricks.
Of course, Fan Caiyao also knew the recipe for Lu Wu Shenlun Pill, but it was not a matter for Wanbian Sect to refine this pill. With the help of Kunlun Cultivation Sect, he collected all the elixirs. Although Fan Caiyao had a deep cultivation, he was not good at the method of external alchemy bait medicine. He decided to start practicing from scratch, which may be helpful to the current practice. When Wanbian Sect refines the next furnace of divine pills, he helped to take action and use his deep magic power to protect the fire.
Of course, Cheng Tianle also asked Fan Caiyao. Since the Dayou Sect honored Xuanwei and Jinhua, the two demon kings, to worship the elders, must have also sent the same invitation to Fan Yao King. Why did Fan Yao King not stay in the Dayou Sect? At that time, he had not met Yi Saibei and Wang Xinyi, and there was no such letter of recommendation.
Fan Caiyao told Cheng Tianle that there are many reasons, but the most concise summary is one sentence - he didn't like Liu Dayou!
The Fan Demon King can be equal to Cheng Tianle's fight with his original body just because of his strength. This is no less than the auspicious beast and spirit birds produced by heaven and earth. The transformation of the body is just a description of the realm. In the alchemy, he is described as a "baby", or the Nascent Soul, and there are also differences in sequences. Even if his cultivation level is the same, there are differences in strengths and weaknesses of magical powers. Although Xuanwei and Jinhua are also demon kings, Fan Caiyao's magical powers are deeper. If they really want to fight, they may be able to compete with Fan Caiyao.
Such powerful demon kings came to participate in the ceremony of opening the sect. How could Liu Dayou miss the opportunity? He sincerely and respectfully invited Fan Caiyao to worship the elders of the Dayou Sect. He said that worship was a true worship, not only enjoying a transcendent status, but also the Dayou Sect would try to meet all kinds of practice requirements on weekdays. As long as Fan Caiyao said something, many little demons would do it for him.
Liu Dayou is indeed the number one figure, especially the great demon cultivator Yan Wuhuan, who was under his command, was even more outstanding. Otherwise, he would not have become such a Dayou Sect, but it was far from the point where Fan Caiyao could be impressed, and he was not interested in the identity of the elder.
First of all, in Fan Caiyao's view, although Liu Dayou claimed to have founded the Demon Cultivation Sect, others were not demon cultivators, but a human cultivator, which always made people feel a little inconsistent. In fact, this problem is the same for Cheng Tianle, and Fan Caiyao was also very prejudiced about Cheng Tianle at that time.
Secondly, more importantly, Fan Caiyao's purpose in coming to the world was not to drive a group of little monsters. If that were the case, it would be better to occupy the mountain and become the king in the Kunlun Fairyland. He has practiced for hundreds of years and has achieved the achievement of a demon king. If he had this intention, he would have had the opportunity to dominate the world. Why would he have to go to the world to do this?
The reason why he found the innocent cultivator in the cave left by the immortals in Niushou Mountain was that his wish in this life was to transcend and ascend, and he had to walk through the endless shore of the sea of suffering. In the Dayou Sect, Liu Dayou might be able to guide some little demons to verify the state of cultivation, but he could not guide him. Liu Dayou was extremely respectful to him. The so-called offering means being arrogant and he needed to ask him for advice if he had something, but he could not learn too much of what he wanted.
On the other hand, he was also very confused about the nature of the Dayou Sect. The Dayou Sect is not like a gathering gang that has the king of Shan and has the organizational form of the inheritance sect, but except for all the disciples of the sect, they do not fully possess the special characteristics of the demon cultivator inheritance sect. Just as the Kunlun Cultivator Sect occasionally recruits demon cultivators to get started, the Dayou Sect only recruits demon cultivators. If that is the case, it always feels that something is missing.
After the sect ceremony, the Dayou Sect held another internal Dharma meeting to guide the demon cultivators and the 13th Kunlun sects who were not demon cultivators did not attend. Fan Caiyao, as the demon king that Liu Dayou wanted to recruit, was invited to attend the Dharma meeting. He sat side by side with Xuanwei and Jinhua on the platform, and his seat was slightly higher than Liu Dayou. But it was precisely because of this Dharma meeting that Fan Caiyao was even more reluctant to be the elder of the Dayou Sect.
At this Dharma Assembly, Liu Dayou talked about the difficulty of monsters opening up their spiritual intelligence, and for the great blessing of transcending the race, and also talked about the various difficulties that they had to face in establishing a foothold in the world. It was nothing wrong with these. Later, he mentioned the confirmation of various cultivation levels, which were also helpful to the demon cultivators in the wild.
But later when talking about the state of mind, he told these mountain demon cultivators to let go of their obsession with their origins, and to give up their prejudices about the world, and to have an ethereal state of mind to accept the guidance of the real Tao. These words cannot be found in theory, but the following signs make Fan Caiyao feel something is wrong.
The "masters" in the world who are fascinating in the hearts of the world like to tell a story that seems to be very Zen. Someone went to visit a Zen master and chatted in front of him. The Zen master smiled and poured tea for him. The cup was full and the tea continued to overflow. When the guest found it, he reminded the Zen master, "The cup is full!" The Zen master said, "Yes, it is full, how can I put new things in it?"
This kind of nonsense joke is faked to be called a Zen case, but it is plausible. However, many people like to quote it, including pyramid scheme classes and various spiritual training classes. The general idea is to let go of obsessions and prejudices in their hearts and "empty" themselves in order to accept new things and ideas. To put it bluntly, this is actually an opening remark that wants to brainwash the other party, and also induce the other party to cooperate with their mentality in this way, with the purpose of naturally breaking through various psychological defenses.
True practice or practice does pay attention to "emptiness". Its first meaning is to make the body and mind empty. Whether it is "stagnation", "quietness", or "seducation" experiences in various realms, it must first remove all kinds of misconceptions. At the extreme, it also pays attention to cutting off external conditions, and neither being disturbed nor having internal concerns.
However, such a state of concentration is a self-experience. The purpose is to reflect on the inward reflection or the emergence of the soul. It is precisely to enter an endogenous state of purity, not to think about it randomly and find the inner pure self, rather than emptying the self. It is not to accept the repeated indoctrination of a certain idea in a state of no thinking. This is not true insight.
In the inheritance of the master and disciple, the master does not directly instill something, but teaches the disciples how to enter that state of concentration, and then leave a divine thought and mind seal or a person who teaches them through words and deeds. Let the disciples practice and verify in a practical way, constantly understand and break through many tests. This is the true insight.
(Prince Xu’s note: I’ll add a sentence here. If you are occasionally taken to attend a training class or seminar, spiritual practice, or someone tells the story of "Zen Master Pour Tea", you should be careful. Although it cannot be said that there will be problems, it is very likely that there will be problems...
