Chapter 385 Quanzhen
Chapter 385 Quanzhen
Zhongnan Mountain.
After Xu Qing and Dong Lingzi met, they traveled together all the way until they reached Zhongnan Mountain, where they parted ways.
It was Taoist Sun who found Xu Qing.
"Is the real person sick?"
Taoist Sun whispered: "Something went wrong when the master was practicing. It's probably..."
When he said this, his eyes welled up with tears.
Xu Qing sighed and said, "I'll go and take a look."
Now Xu Qing is like the Living Buddha Jigong of Lingyin Temple in the previous dynasty. After he came down the mountain, his name quickly spread throughout the world, and even Chongyang Palace benefited from it.
When he returned to the mountain this time, the Taoist priests on the mountain looked at him with completely different eyes.
Xu Qing didn't look very pleased.
All the way to Master Sun’s quiet room.
"Xu Qing, you're finally back." Master Sun opened his eyes with difficulty, saw Xu Qing, and forced a smile.
Xu Qing held Master Sun's hand and poured the innate purple energy into his body, but it disappeared like a drop in the ocean.
"This is..." Xu Qing was slightly shocked.
Because he discovered that Master Sun had actually developed the hidden meridians of his soul, but what was different from the Xuantian Visualization Method he was practicing was that after Master Sun's hidden meridians of his soul were developed, an inexplicable power actually emerged out of thin air.
"I accidentally got a portrait left by my ancestor, and I practiced according to it, and I became what I am now."
Xu Qing's innate purple energy finally took effect. Master Sun's complexion looked a little better, speaking was no longer so difficult, and he even stood up.
"What is recorded in the portrait?"
"That is a martial art called Black Sky Tribulation. When I first started practicing it, I felt as if I were floating in the air. No, it was even happier than being an immortal. But some time ago, my body suddenly became extremely empty, and my blood seemed to be frantically drained by an invisible black hole..." Master Sun expressed his feelings.
Xu Qing practiced the Xuantian Visualization Method in conjunction with his martial arts practice, and his own Qi, blood, and soul complemented each other.
But Master Sun was obviously not the same person as before.
"But when I was unconscious, I was in a trance and saw different things."
"what?"
"A gigantic swastika."
"The Buddhist swastika?"
"Well, it emits a rich golden light, enveloping the world we live in."
Xu Qing wondered to himself, is this the truth of the world today?
The swastika character, could it be related to Sakyamuni?
Could it be that everything he is experiencing now is related to Sakyamuni?
The six realms of reincarnation in Buddhism, all phenomena are like dreams and bubbles.
Xu Qing began to feel confused.
Could it be that the world he is in now is essentially an interpretation of Buddhism, so the characters he meets overlap with the martial arts characters he is familiar with?
This is called karma.
Therefore, when he comprehended the great Dao, he felt that the dimension of this world was higher than that of the Taixu universe.
Because the essence of this world was interpreted by powerful people like Sakyamuni through Buddhist teachings.
Its essence cannot be lower.
The more he thought about it, the more Xu Qing felt like the monkey in the novel Journey to the West who was pressed under the Five Finger Mountain. He would stay in the Five Finger Mountain of Sakyamuni for now.
But the black sky tribulation cultivated by Master Sun can actually see the truth of this world.
Could it be that the black sky calamity is the opportunity for Xu Qing to escape?
Next, Sun Zhenren handed the Black Heaven Tribulation cultivation image to Xu Qing, and with Xu Qing's help, he recovered his Qi and blood. However, Xu Qing could see that he was seriously ill.
The side effects of this black calamity will definitely recur.
Practicing the Black Heaven Tribulation, one gains Tribulation Power. After practicing, Master Sun gained the ability to control the "Clear Wind". So although the Black Heaven Tribulation brought her a lot of pain, it also made her feel unprecedented happiness.
Even if she were asked to return to the state before practicing the Black Heaven Tribulation, Master Sun would still be unwilling.
The meaning of life lies in experience, experiencing things you have never experienced before, whether they are good or bad.
If everything for the rest of your life is a repetition of the past, that is another meaning of death.
Xu Qing practiced the Black Sky Tribulation and gave him a surprise.
He reopened the "Heaven-Repairing Hand".
fantastic.
If it was before coming to this world, Xu Qing would not have felt how important the Heaven-Repairing Hand was to him.
But now, he felt indescribable joy and emotion.
To lose and regain something is also a new experience, even more profound than before.
...
...
"The abbot Tianhu of Shaolin Temple died tragically and innocently. Now Shaolin Temple plans to elect a new abbot. Xu Qing, you should go to Shaoshi Mountain on behalf of our Chongyang Palace." Master Sun expressed the common opinion of several masters of Chongyang Palace.
Now Xu Qing is their hope to revive Chongyang Palace.
Regardless of whether Xu Qing becomes the head master or not, several real people want to tie Xu Qing and Chongyang Palace together.
In fact, it is not surprising. These sects, religions and even local overlords have always liked to establish relationships with celebrities.
The Quanzhen Sect recognized several ancestors, but at that time, people did not even have the concept of the Quanzhen Sect.
Xu Qing did not refuse, as he knew that he and the Quanzhen Sect were indeed closely connected.
Xu Qing then left Mount Zhongnan again.
Before going down the mountain, he had sorted out the details of the mysterious death of Abbot Tianhu.
He died in his own meditation room, with a strange smile on his face before he died, and he didn't even make any noise. It was the young monk who was cleaning his meditation room who discovered the death of Abbot Tianhu.
The abbot of Shaolin Temple is considered a benchmark in the martial arts world.
Anyone who can kill the abbot of Shaolin Temple must be one of the top masters.
Of course, there are differences between the best and the worst, the biggest difference being in mental strength.
For example, Meng Chixing's actual destructive power may not be stronger than that of people like King Kuaihuo, but his spiritual power is extremely terrifying.
In fact, if Meng Chixing had not bumped into Xu Qing at that time, he would have been able to suppress all the martial arts masters present with his spiritual power.
Of course, except Zhang Junbao.
He is an alien.
Even like the real protagonist of this world.
Xu Qing can clearly feel that the aura around him has changed greatly when he is with Jun Bao and when he is not.
It was a mixed feeling.
It seems that I feel more at ease when I am with Junbao, but there is also a sense of invisible restraint and oppression.
If Xu Qing walks alone, he will be more free to do what he wants, but deep down he will feel that everything is illusory.
He couldn't feel how real this world was.
On the way to Shaoshi Mountain.
Xu Qing began to consider the concept of "Quanzhen".
What is "truth"?
What is the truth in cultivation?
If you regard the world or universe imagined in your mind as real.
Then Xu Qing is far more terrifying than the Creator.
With just one thought from him, the world was born and destroyed, and the universe collapsed.
Even more, if someone bullies me, then I don’t know how miserable the fate of the other person’s projection in my consciousness world will be.
Are these worlds real or false?
If you are an ordinary person, you will definitely think it is a dream.
But from the perspective of a practitioner, this may not be a dream.
There is a story in Hinduism, which goes something like this: Brahma woke up from his dream, and the world was destroyed.
It turns out that the world is just a dream of Brahma.
For example, the games, movies and TV shows made by Xu Qing in the modern world, are these worlds real in lower dimensions?
The people inside may have their own joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness, but their joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness are meaningless to the beings in higher dimensions, and can even be changed at will. Therefore, the seven emotions and six desires, joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness are definitely not the true nature of human beings.
The mind of an ordinary person can turn the world upside down and is omnipotent. If the world in the mind is real, then ordinary people are also the supreme creator of this world, God.
But in the world he lives in, this is not the case.
If a creature in the mind of an ordinary person saw the truth and only saw the tip of the iceberg of this ordinary person, it would probably be like an ant seeing a human toe and would feel it was extremely huge and indescribable.
Xu Qing recalled that in the modern world, when he was a child, he used water to irrigate an anthill.
He is a human cub, but he is also an alien evil god that these ants find extremely terrifying.
Even if he just walked by and stepped on them, it could cause a devastating blow to their world.
And for them, Xu Qing's casual pee was like a devastating flood like the one that happened in prehistoric times.
But human cubs will not think themselves terrible because of such things.
Strength and weakness are relative.
It is about comparing similar things.
This kind of comparison will give rise to more real and more ups and downs emotions.
Even though Xu Qing is already a very powerful creature in the Taixu Universe, his joys and sorrows will be connected with his relatives and friends. He will also feel pity for ordinary people, or feel sorry for their misfortune and be angry at their lack of resistance.
Because their starting points are similar.
Princes, generals and prime ministers would rather have their own kind.
We are all human beings, so we feel unfair about other people's enjoyment and wealth.
If all the nobles of the Dayu Dynasty were born as five-clawed golden dragons that could fly and hide underground, ordinary people would not have too many ideas.
Only when you realize the injustice will you be unwilling to accept it.
Some choose to endure, some choose to resist.
But it is impossible not to remain indifferent.
Resistance may not necessarily bring good results, but at least it allows you to vent your emotions.
The existence of all facts is not without reason. There must be a cause before there can be an effect.
Cause and effect construct a kind of "truth".
So Xu Qing further pondered the reason why he appeared in this world.
Zhang Junbao symbolizes Zhenwu, so Sakyamuni is inseparable from the "卍" symbol.
In this low-level martial arts world, Zhenwu and Sakyamuni are definitely the two causes and effects that Xu Qing is most deeply involved with.
It seems that solving these two causes and effects is the key to his escape.
So he needed more information.
Without the magical powers of immortals, secular forces seem to be the best tools at the moment.
This is another meaning of the Dharma's use of all things.
Xu Qing became more enlightened during this journey.
He walked slowly all the way to "Shaoshi Mountain".
...
...
"Master Xu, we meet again."
When he arrived at Mount Shaoshi, as the representative of Quanzhen Sect, Mount Shaoshi gave Xu Qing great hospitality.
Of course, some of them came because of Xu Qing.
The most powerful thing about Meng Chixing is his spiritual power that dominates the world, which is the realm of immortals and Buddhas.
After Xu Qing defeated him, he naturally became a sacred immortal in the eyes of the people in the martial arts world.
Reaching the pinnacle of martial arts is only the threshold to entering the "immortal and Buddha" level.
Xu Qing, Meng Chixing and Ba Siba are now almost the undisputed "Three Saints" in the world.
Even Ba Siba, who was far away in Dadu, admitted that Xu Qing was a "living immortal" of the time.
Ba Siba said frankly that he really wanted to find an opportunity to discuss philosophy with Xu Qing.
But he was stopped by the Mongol Emperor Kublai Khan.
Because the Mongol Yuan court could not accept the result that Ba Siba was also defeated by Xu Qing.
Some anti-Yuan religions even secretly worshipped Xu Qing's immortality tablet.
Some people even stretched the idea to say that Xu Qing was the reincarnation of the Daojun Emperor of the previous dynasty.
In the past few years, some people from the Yuan Dynasty dug up the tombs of the emperors of the previous dynasties and used their skulls as drinking bowls. This caused a lot of dissatisfaction with the Yuan Dynasty in the world.
Moreover, the tax farming system of the Yuan Dynasty caused the lower classes to suffer more oppression than in previous dynasties, and dissatisfaction with the Yuan Dynasty grew day by day.
In fact, the Mongol system was relatively fair.
Even the big Han landlords, as long as they had money, could make the Mongols their slaves.
Therefore, many bankrupt Mongols are now very dissatisfied with the Yuan Dynasty court.
If a court can make the vast majority of the people dissatisfied, or even the nation dissatisfied, it will definitely not last long.
Therefore, anti-Yuan activities among the people have never stopped.
The death of the abbot of Shaolin Temple caused many people from the martial arts world to gather in Shaoshi Mountain.
They may not have come here to express their condolences sincerely, but just wanted to find an opportunity to get together.
What's more, Shaolin Temple is also the sphere of influence of Buddhism, so relatively speaking, it would not make the Mongols too sensitive.
When there are many people, there will inevitably be more gossip.
But the world needs more people.
The more people there are in a place, the more opportunities there are for the upper and lower levels to interact with each other, and many people can take advantage of this opportunity to soar to the sky.
Therefore, the dock is often one of the places with the strongest gangster atmosphere.
Because it is well connected, there are all kinds of people and many opportunities.
Many people see this as an opportunity for Shaolin Temple to re-elect its abbot and find the real culprit behind the death of Abbot Tianhu.
Wuhua seemed to be at home in this event.
In the past he was a noble and holy monk, but at this time he showed extremely high emotional intelligence, wandering among the people in the world, treating guests with great hospitality, and won the support of some people in the world.
To make a comparison, it is very similar to the Eight Wise Kings in the Yongzheng Dynasty.
Now it is Wuhua who comes to receive Xu Qing.
Of course Xu Qing didn't forget about the desert.
However, this is not the time to pursue these issues.
Xu Qing seemed to have forgotten all this and started chatting cordially with Wuhua.
Wuhua didn't know why, but this time when meeting Xu Qing, he seemed particularly confident and confident.
Xu Qing also vaguely noticed Wuhua's abnormality.
Finally, Wuhua arranged an extremely quiet meditation room for Xu Qing.
...
...
After Wuhua sent Xu Qing to the meditation room, he returned to the back mountain of Shaolin Temple.
He stopped on a wide platform.
Wuhua spread out his monk's robe on his chest, revealing a pendant tied around his neck, which turned out to be a jade Buddha.
"That Taoist priest is not the one I'm looking for." A low Buddhist voice sounded.
"Then I really don't know anyone who meets your requirements. By the way, when will you teach me the Tathagata Palm?" A trace of desire flashed in Wuhua's eyes.
"It will be quick. Before that, you can practice your inner strength. By the way, I sense that the spirit boy is in Shaoshi Mountain. Please help me find him."
"Spiritual boy?"
"That is the reincarnation of Sakyamuni. If I find him, I can transfer his Buddha bones to you."
