$513, Yuanshi Tianzun Gift, a Group of Relatives (Asking for Monthly Tickets, Asking for Subscriptions)
Wuzhuang Temple, the cave of immortals. In addition to Zhen Yuanzi, there are 48 other people who have attained the Tao. Zhen Yuanzi discussed Taoism with Guanyin Bodhisattva, while Bai Gui discussed Taoism with Zhen Yuanzi's disciples.
They discussed Taoism for two days.
Bai Gui benefited a lot.
Not only did he advance his celestial immortality, but he also experienced the hidden golden elixir method of the Wanshoucao Huandan in Wuzhuang Temple.
"The supernatural power I am talking about is the Five Elements Great Escape in the Thirty-Six Methods of Tiangang..."
The leader Ling Yunzi began to explain the supernatural power on the third day. He is Zhen Yuanzi's first disciple and the oldest one. He was accepted as a disciple by Zhen Yuanzi at the beginning of this era. He is more than 89,300 years old and has a seat at the Peach Banquet.
"Take a piece of ginseng fruit wood, refine it into your body, and use it to perform wood escape, which will be beneficial to everything. Take a beam of fire from the stone, perform earth escape, and take the water essence of the Milky Way..."
He demonstrated while preaching, and did not avoid Bai Gui.
His true body sometimes gathers and disperses into gas, which are five kinds of gas, namely gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and sometimes turns into a mortal body. When it is the five elements of gas, the spirit consciousness cannot be detected, hiding in the world.
The magical powers of various Taoist sects are not precious. When it comes to the level of Bai Gui, a celestial being, and it is the Taishang Taoist sect, the 36 Tiangang methods do not set a threshold for him, allowing him to read.
So Wuzhuang Temple is not stingy. If it is stingy, it will make others look down on it.
"The method I am talking about is turning stones into gold." Another Taoist laughed lightly, pointed to the floor made of jade, and drew a circle on the stone slab with his hand. In an instant, the jade in the circle turned into gold.
The art of turning stones into gold is one of the 36 Tiangang methods. Although it ranks quite low, it does not mean that this magical power is weak. This is not an ordinary trick. If it is an ordinary trick, ordinary monks with a little bit of Taoism can perform it, let alone the immortals present.
Therefore, this art of turning stone into gold is actually to use one's own power to reverse the universe and the properties of all things. The stone slab really turned into gold. The reason why it is gold is that the chemical properties of gold atoms are not active. Only when it is transformed into gold can the true ability be revealed.
The more stable the transformed substance is, the deeper the Taoism in this magical power is.
The Taoists chanted "color", and then another Taoist came out to demonstrate the magical power they had acquired recently. The magical powers such as the golden light of the earth, turning mountains and seas, whipping mountains and moving stones, repairing the sky and bathing the sun, etc. were demonstrated one by one.
In addition to these thirty-six Tiangang methods, there are also other Taoist methods such as soul control, spells, witchcraft, and talismans. Although not as good as the previous Tiangang method, it can also make people shine.
After the forty-eight Taoists finished their demonstrations, it was Bai Gui's turn to be a guest.
"Does Daoist Bai have any magical powers to show?"
"If not, Daoist Fellow, don't worry. We are acting according to our own will. This time we are here to discuss the Dao and exchange what we have gained, not to compete. Daoist Fellow, just pick a method and demonstrate it once or twice."
Ling Yunzi said calmly with a calm face.
There are temporary strengths and weaknesses in cultivation, and those with higher talents can catch up. The 48 of them had exchanges in the past, and now they did not avoid Bai Gui and did not hide it at all, which was also a kind of hospitality. Otherwise, they only needed to take Bai Gui to stroll around Wuzhuang Temple, which would be considered as completing the task assigned by Zhen Yuanzi, and others could not criticize him.
Bai Gui secretly said, "What a true cultivator."
Yes, Zhen Yuanzi is the ancestor of earthly immortals. Although the Dao vein of Wuzhuang Temple is not as good as the Dao vein of Sanqing, it is also a great Dao vein in the world. Moreover, Zhen Yuanzi is hospitable, and his disciples are all clear-minded and do not like to fight, which is not difficult to understand.
He stood up, flicked the whisk in his arms, and the cushion he was sitting on rose three feet. "I am a Jindan cultivator, and I am most proficient in the Nine Breaths of Subduing Qi in the Tiangang Method..."
The Nine Breaths of Subduing Qi is a Tiangang Method that one naturally comprehends after achieving earthly immortality in the Jindan Dao. It is closely related to the path of Jindan cultivators.
Therefore, when Bai Gui said that he was best at this method, all the Taoists had no objection.
This discussion of Taoism was just a communication, not a competition. Bai Gui thought that he was not as good as some Taoists present in understanding the magical power. After all, time is a great power. Although his Taoism has improved greatly, his self-defense methods are mostly magic weapons, and his magical powers are quite few. The only thing he can show off and is undisputed is this Tiangang Method.
People's energy is limited.
It is impossible to have both self-defense methods and Taoism improvement. It's just a waste of time. After reaching the realm of immortals and gods, when there is no more progress to make, it is the right way to think about the magical power of protecting the way. In normal times, only one or two magical powers are enough to protect oneself, and more is useless.
Bai Gui began to talk about his understanding of the Nine Breaths of Qi.
He exhaled and exhaled, and his magic power was exhausted. His breath suddenly decreased a lot, but at this moment, he inhaled again, his Taoist robe fluttered, and his magic power came out of thin air again, and his breath was 10% stronger than before.
After nine times, his breath was almost twice as strong as before.
"Daoyou's Nine Breaths of Qi, the great magical power of the flower blooming in an instant, has the shadow of the Tiangang method. Ordinary people's Nine Breaths of Qi can only restore nine times of magic power at most, but after Daoyou's improvement, this Nine Breaths of Qi can temporarily increase a lot of magic power..."
Ling Yunzi's eyes lit up and praised.
The Thirty-Six Tiangang Methods are just a general term, and the Tiangang Methods passed down by each vein are not similar. For example, Zhen Yuanzi is the ancestor of earth immortals. The Five Elements Escape he passed down focuses more on Wood Escape and Earth Escape. Wood Escape can be performed with the help of the ginseng fruit tree, which is a spiritual root, and its power is much greater than that of other Taoist sects.
There are also various channels of Nine Breaths Convincing Qi and God, but undoubtedly the Nine Breaths Convincing Qi transmitted by Sanqing Dao Vessel is more powerful. Because before the Sanqing Dynasty created the golden elixir avenue, there was no shortage of references and improvements to the Nine Breaths Conquering Tiangang Method. After all, the Nine Breaths Conquering Qi Tiangang method is the fundamental magical power method of Jindan Dao, and other Dao channels are incomparable.
Of course, Bai Gui was just demonstrating the method and describing his understanding of this improved magical method. He would not really tell them the specific cultivation methods of the Tiangang method taught by the Sanqing Dao lineage.
When Taoists taught about magical powers in the past, they were similar to this.
When discussing Tao from different channels, the key is to draw parallels.
…
After the discussion is over.
Bai Gui and Zhen Yuanzi's disciples were obviously much closer.
The discussion between Zhen Yuanzi and Guanyin Bodhisattva also ended together. Immediately, Zhen Yuanzi, Guanyin Bodhisattva, and a group of heavenly and earthly immortals took advantage of the virtual wind to go to Yuqing Tianmiluo Palace.
Arrived at Yuqingtian.
Although this is not Laojun's Lihentian, Bai Gui is also a disciple of the Sanqing Dao Lineage, and he also receives preferential treatment in Miluo Palace.
Enter the palace.
Zhen Yuanzi first offered his ginseng fruit, twelve berries.
A ginseng tree can only bear thirty fruits in ten thousand years. It can be said to be extremely precious. But Zhen Yuanzi lived for an unknown amount of time, and he also had some savings. Furthermore, to Yuanshi Tianzun, the ginseng fruit was just a taste, not a precious treasure.
Yuanshi Tianzun lectures on the Hunyuan Dao Fruit.
Guanyin Bodhisattva and Zhen Yuanzi were fascinated by it, while Bai Gui and other heavenly and earthly immortals only found it obscure and difficult to understand. When they heard it, they felt that their heads were bulging and the pain was unbearable.
But everyone knows that just hearing about this Hunyuan Taoism is a chance.
Everyone held on to listen to the sermon.
A few days passed. Although Bai Gui had not understood the subtleties of Hunyuan Taoism, his cultivation level had improved a lot unknowingly, and Yang Shen's Qi orifices had opened up more than half.
The five days of lectures are over.
"Qian Yuanzi stays."
When everyone was leaving, a little Taoist boy from Miluo Palace stopped Bai Gui. He walked up to him and saluted Bai Gui, "Brother Qianyuan, you came to Miluo Palace for the first time. The Patriarch asked me to give you some greeting gifts. ”
After saying that, the little Taoist boy took out a lacquer box and handed it to Bai Gui.
"Thank you, Master."
Bai Gui was startled for a moment, then bowed his head towards Miluo Palace and thanked him.
After thanking him, he put the paint box into his sleeve.
Although he was itching in his heart, he also wanted to know what treasure the second master had given him. But now that we are still in Miluo Palace, it would be unbecoming to open the lacquer box here. Better go back and dismantle it.
As for Yuanshi Tianzun giving him a meeting gift, it is not so difficult to understand. After all, he is now a direct descendant of the Taiqing sect. There are only so many people in a Dao lineage. Although it is not a handful, the total number of disciples from three generations is less than a hundred.
Disciples of Renjiao are the rarest.
All the Taoists at Wuzhuang Temple looked envious and congratulated each other.
The group of people then continued to descend to the earth and headed to the Earthly Immortal Realm.
As for the fact that Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva was once the Taoist Cihang of Yuanshi Tianzun, Bai Gui didn't care about it. It didn't concern him and he didn't need to know too much. When he reaches the realm, he will naturally understand everything.
The world of Journey to the West is just a world of two calamities.
Thirty-three days after falling, Guanyin Bodhisattva separated from everyone on the pretext of something else. Although Bai Gui was brought by Guanyin, he was now familiar with the Wuzhuang audience and wanted to bother him for a few days. Ling Yunzi and others also tried to persuade Bai Gui to stay, so he continued to go to Wuzhuang Temple with Zhen Yuanzi.
…
All the immortals descended into the clouds and came to the front gate of Wuzhuang Temple.
But I saw the door of the Taoist temple wide open.
Zhen Yuanzi twirled his beard and said with a smile: "Ming Yue and Qing Feng are usually very lazy, but how come they are willing to get up early to clean the courtyard today? It is not in vain that they are left to guard the door for the master."
But when everyone walked to the hall, they never saw Mingyue and Qingfeng.
"He was cast under a sleeping spell."
In the inner room of the hall, two fairy boys were found, Ling Yunzi stepped forward and said.
After finishing speaking, Ling Yunzi pondered for a while, collected the rainwater, and splashed it on their faces. Valley
"Elder brother, the monk that Master asked us to entertain, the four people who came to study in the West, stole the fruit... and used a method of leaving the body to defeat the fruit."
Qingfeng and Mingyue cried.
"That monkey surnamed Sun once caused trouble in the Heavenly Palace. He is a Taiyi Sanxian. It is common sense that you two are not capable of defeating him. Don't cry, don't cry."
Zhen Yuanzi was a sensible person and did not blame the two boys. Instead, he comforted them.
Taiyi Sanshu refers to a realm of immortals.
Sun Wukong is in the realm of immortals.
According to "Zhonglu Chuandao Ji", immortals accumulate meritorious deeds in the mortal world, and after completing their meritorious deeds, they receive heavenly documents and serve as officials in heaven. The "Tianxian Sanshu" refers to the immortals who are still accumulating their merits in the mortal world and have not yet perfected them. Tensen Shinryu refers to a Tensen who has perfected his merits.
"If you have meritorious deeds on the road, have performed well in the human world, and if your merits are satisfied, you will receive the Book of Heaven and retreat to the cave. You are called a Celestial Immortal. Since you are a Celestial Immortal, if you are tired of living as a Celestial Immortal, you will serve as an Immortal Official. The lower level is called Shuiguan, the middle level is called Diguan, and the upper level is called Tianxian. Official..." - "Zhong Lu Chuan Dao Collection".
Sun Wukong's Taoism was passed down from the Bodhi Patriarch, and it is not the inheritance of the Three Pure Ones. It is still on the way to learn the scriptures, so its merits have not been completed, so it is a scattered collection of gods. The immortal who does not enter the Sanqing Taoist tradition is Taiyi Sanshu.
Hearing this, Bai Gui understood.
Ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties, it seems that Zhen Yuanzi of Wuzhuangguan is also involved. This time I went to Yuqing Tianmiluo Palace to listen to the sermon, and took away all my disciples with advanced cultivation. It was obvious that the intention was to make Tang Monk and his party jealous of wealth and cause disaster...
Ginseng fruit is a treasure comparable to the peach. Not only is it extremely delicious, it can also improve your cultivation. Sun Wukong even invaded the Peach Garden, so he definitely didn't care about the Wuzhuang Temple.
Guanyin left before because she didn't want to bump into this scene, so as not to be too conspicuous and let others know the clues.
"You will pack up the instruments of torture and wait until Pindao arrests them."
Zhen Yuanzi said coldly.
All the immortals take orders.
"Ling Yunzi, and fellow Taoist Qian Yuanzi, you two will go with me." Zhen Yuanzi groaned, and was about to take Qingfeng and Mingyue away to chase Tang Monk and others, but when he saw Bai Gui here, he He changed his mind and called Bai Gui and Ling Yunzi.
After entering the ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties, you can gain certain merits.
Bai Gui is the direct descendant of the Sanqing Dynasty, and Zhen Yuanzi also intends to support and make friends with this descendant. Therefore, let Bai Gui accompany you.
The elders gave it to me, but I dare not refuse.
Bai Gui knew well that this was another meritorious deed. After giving a salute to Zhen Yuanzi, he and Ling Yunzi stood on the left and right sides of Zhen Yuanzi.
Now he is no longer the former Inspector Bai, but has a more distinguished status as the Supreme Disciple. It is involved in ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties, and a few more calamities will not matter. Moreover, at this time it was just to gather the number of people, not to be involved in the disaster, so it was not considered a major event.
When the auspicious clouds rise, it will be six hundred miles away in an instant.
"Master, it's passed, it's passed. Those four people are resting on the top of the mountain one hundred and twenty miles away." Even though Qingfeng's cultivation level was lower, it was not much lower. With a sweep of his consciousness, he saw the forest on the top of the mountain. Tang Seng and others were taking a break.
Zhen Yuanzi went down to the clouds and turned into a Taoist priest with a purple gold crown.
After asking Tang Seng and others a few words, he pulled up the sleeves of his robe, gently unfolded them, and received the four masters and disciples of Tang Seng into his sleeves.
The art of the universe in one's sleeve!
Bai Gui also pretended not to know Tang Seng and the other four people. He was in the clouds, and Tang Seng and others did not see him.
Back at Wuzhuang Temple, Ling Yunzi and others tied the four masters and disciples of Tang Monk to the pillars one by one. White Dragon Horse was not spared and was tied to the pillars.
"Shilang Bai, Shilang Bai..."
"You and I know each other, please give me a favor quickly."
Tang Seng and others suffered from Zhen Yuanzi's sleeves, and their heads were all mixed up, and they were dizzy. However, Sun Wukong had a strong body and was used to being abused. His mind was still clear at this time, and he immediately recognized the person who had been in Yingchou Stream. Bai Gui whom I have seen before.
He was startled when he saw Ling Yunzi and others pulling out their whips, and he begged with a shameless smile.
This whip is a seven-star whip made of dragon skin. You can't beat him to death, but if you hit him, it will hurt no matter how hard he is.
"What about Bai Shilang? I don't know anyone named Bai Shilang."
Bai Gui waved his hand and took a step back, looking like he was not involved in the matter.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, do you know this monkey with a thunderous face?"
The Taoist priest on the side said in surprise.
"I used to be an official in the Eastern Tang Dynasty and was the Minister of War. Now I have resigned. This Tang Monk was a monk sent by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures. I have an old acquaintance..."
"It's just that I don't know this monkey very well."
Bai Gui chuckled and explained smoothly.
Sun Wukong cursed, but he couldn't hold off his anger. Bai Gui and he were not very familiar with each other. They had a fight when they first met.
"But this monk is a good man, and he is also a mortal body. If you want to fight, Taoist brothers, you should first fight this monkey or this pig demon..."
Bai Gui said another way.
He could see that Sun Wukong not only wanted to plead for himself, but also for Tang Monk. He can withstand the seven-star whip. But Tang Seng couldn't stand it at all. Of course, it was impossible for Zhen Yuanzi and others to actually fight Tang Seng's words. His words were just a favor.
Anyway, it was Zhen Yuanzi who took him there.
Otherwise, he would not deliberately speak and let Sun Wukong see him.
Zhu Bajie, who was pretending to be asleep, suddenly woke up and said, "Senior Brother Bai, hit this monkey if you want to. Don't hit me. I am an old pig with tender skin and cannot withstand a beating."
He became an immortal by relying on the Nine Transformations Great Return Pill. He is not an Immortal stream who entered the Jindan stream, so he is only a registered disciple of the human sect. He is a registered disciple of Master Xuandu. Although Bai Gui entered the world later than him, he did not rely on elixirs to become an immortal and truly entered the door. Therefore, he wanted to call Bai Gui, his direct descendant, senior brother.
"Suddenly I met a real immortal in my leisure time, so I sat down and said... I have to pass on the Nine-turn Great Return Pill..., and my merits are fulfilled, but I soar..." - "Journey to the West".
Of course, the Nine-turn Great Returning Pill is also the right path, not a heretical path. The Taoist method of external alchemy relies on external elixirs to ascend, while Bai Gui practices inner alchemy and practices both internal and external elixirs.
Sun Wukong's eyes widened, "You idiot, is this Bai Shilang your senior brother?"
He never expected that the lazy Zhu Bajie would have a senior brother along the way. And it was Bai Gui who made him suffer a little loss.
"this……"
Bai Gui was also startled.
Although he had a guess about Zhu Bajie's identity, he was not sure. At this moment, Zhu Bajie took the initiative to call him senior brother, which meant that Zhu Bajie was the third generation disciple of the human sect.
As for Zhu Bajie knowing about him, but he not knowing about Zhu Bajie, this is easy to understand. When he entered the gate, all Guan Yinzi told him were true stories within the sect, and he did not talk about any named disciples. And named disciples must be careful to remember the direct lineage within the sect to avoid accidentally offending them. I will also be able to have a backer in the future.
"Since we are fighting against each other, Taoist Taoist Bai will not make things difficult for him. Let's beat the monkey first, the black and bald-skinned monk, and the horse..."
Ling Yunzi stepped forward and came to the rescue.
Little White Dragon, who was tied to the pillar of the temple, covered his lower body with his two hind hooves and said hurriedly: "Master Bai, we are old acquaintances. I have not eaten the ginseng fruit either. They ate it all."
He wanted to cry but had no tears.
Zhen Yuanzi asked the Taoist boy to beat four fruits, and he did not have a share, but he was beaten together.
"Since this little white dragon did not steal..."
Seeing Bai Gui hesitate, Ling Yunzi smiled and came to the rescue.
They were acting, and it didn't matter whether they beat him or not, anyway, they would be whipped in the end. It would be fine to just beat Sun Wukong. There was no need to make Bai Gui embarrassed here.
"Thank you, Taoist friend."
Bai Gui bowed his hands and thanked him.
When they were in Yingchoujian, Little White Dragon had already admitted his defeat, and the rift between the two had been resolved. Little White Dragon was a dragon, and he had a good relationship with the dragons, so it was not impossible to give him some convenience. But at the moment when he was hesitating, Ling Yunzi came to the rescue, and he didn't need to hesitate.
This is considered a small favor owed to Ling Yunzi.
Of course, this favor is not very big.
But it can deepen the relationship between the two, which can be considered a loss and a gain.
Sha Seng: "..."
He is just a general who rolls up the curtain, and is actually similar to the guards around the Jade Emperor, a guard who is specifically responsible for rolling up the curtain. There is no relationship.
The people who went to the pilgrimage were all related, only he was not.
"Beat!"
Zhen Yuanzi ordered.
