"Tianfu Xuanwei Tongzhen Nine Degrees Sutra".
The familiar name made Yu Ci feel a little dazed. In addition to the gratitude for the old days, the memory that was as clear as before his eyes also surged, turning into a fat man with an excited and distorted face. The surrounding background was blurred, and only the fat man's lips and tongue were there. Turning, chattering.
Actually, Yu Ci’s friendship with this person in his memory was only superficial, so much so that he was stunned for a moment before he remembered his name:
"Li Hong."
"What?"
This time it was Hua Niangzi’s turn to not understand.
Yu Ci glanced at her, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and responded calmly: "The Nine Parameters Sutra carries heaven and earth, and is written in divine inscriptions. It cannot be interpreted except by earthly immortals. Only the "Nine Degrees Sutra" derived from it can "Du Zhen Wen Lian Xing Chapter" is the basis for the cultivation of sect monks. Therefore, the most precious cultivation method in the world is the secret method of overcoming tribulations. It is the foundation for whether a sect can achieve the great supernatural power of the earthly immortal.
Hua Niangzi nodded and said with a smile: "That's it, fellow Taoist finally got it straightened out."
"It's just picking up people's wisdom."
To Yu Ci’s incomprehensible words, Hua Niangzi had already adapted to it and did not bother to think too much. She continued: “The key lies in the secret method of overcoming tribulations. The three true secrets of Huangdong Shen, "The True Explanation of Wuliang Gaoxuanyuan", and "The True Explanation of Yuanjing Yuanming's Divine Light"; or the "One Hundred and Eight Thousand Dharma Doors" claimed by Chuyou'an, or the Demonic The secrets of each branch of the sect, and only these secret methods of overcoming tribulations are the real methods for people to practice.
"Such as the "Three Cave True Sutra", "Tripitaka", "Taiyuan Tianmo Fundamental Sutra", etc., are just things that the Earth Immortal can use for detailed comparison."
"The "Three Worlds Sutra" taught by your religion is actually a secret method for overcoming tribulations?"
"That's exactly it. But the mystery of this sect's method is also here. If it is divided into three, it is the secret method to save the tribulation. When the three are combined into one, it is the supreme scripture. Of course, this is also a special case."
Yu Ci nodded, expressing understanding, and suddenly asked: "Why do you offer the true scriptures and specialize in the secret method of saving tribulations?
When Yu Ci asked, it was not because he was confused and had forgotten his previous answer, but to ask for a deeper reason.
Hua Niangzi did not answer directly, but asked instead: "The secret method of overcoming tribulations is specially used for the practice of people in immortality. Once a monk enters immortality, his practice is completely different. Do fellow Taoists know what this means?"
Of course Yu Ci knows that this is because the Immortal Immortal lives in symbiosis with the laws of heaven and earth.
After immortality, every improvement in realm must be recognized by the will of the laws of heaven and earth. To be more precise, a compromise must be reached, with the exception of sword cultivators.
Hua Niangzi continued: "Everyone in the world knows that the secret method of overcoming tribulations is superb. They envy the disciples of large sects who can avoid the three disasters, and they feel sorry for themselves. However, they do not know that overcoming tribulations has the advantages of overcoming tribulations, and avoiding tribulations has the disadvantages of avoiding tribulations. Just look at Can you understand the mystery? ”
This article is somewhat different from what Yu Ci knew, but when Donghai discussed this matter with Haihong and others, the other party's envy and yearning were indeed beyond words.
He took out the knowledge he had learned at that time: "Isn't it because the Tao foundation is incomplete?"
"What is the foundation of Taoism? Everyone in the world understands the foundation of Taoism, but I think fellow Taoist Yu may have a different view."
How can I have any insight... As soon as he thought about it, Yu Ci seemed to have some realization: That's right, in fact, he really had some thoughts.
It can be seen from the system of laws of heaven and earth that practice is actually a process of integrating related derived laws and searching for the most fundamental laws. In this process, one can only improve one's realm, and the constraints of the laws will become less and less, and the distance from the fundamental laws will become smaller and smaller. The closer.
Monks are always wrapped up in a set of laws of heaven and earth that are most suitable for their current state, wrestling and compromising with God, seeking a more suitable charter, and gaining "freedom" bit by bit.
From this point of view, the so-called Dao foundation should be some combination that is closely related to the fundamental laws. It can be used as a "beacon" and a "map" to help monks sort out the context. It just manifests into various different forms in the end, such as Taoist golden elixirs, Buddhist relics and so on.
Having a good "Tao foundation" can form a closer connection with the fundamental laws and avoid detours.
Take Yu Ci himself as an example. Looking at it now, his Taoist foundation should be based on the life and death talisman, deriving the complete Tianyuan natal golden talisman, which directly points to the true meaning of the law of life and death, while the emptiness in the heart is For its explanation, as for the sword intention, magic power, etc., they are all on the periphery, but they are carried out with the true meaning of life and death, never abandoning the conflict.
But after the real body breaks through the tribulation and achieves immortality, how to deal with it is also a question that needs careful study.
Thinking of this, he vaguely knew the key points of his future practice.
Although Yu Ci did not speak, Hua Niangzi thought that he already understood - a person who clearly discerned the system of laws of heaven and earth and grasped the laws of life and death for his own use. It would be a joke to say that he did not even understand this.
She continued directly: "The practice of immortality is the symbiosis between living beings and heaven and earth. Since it is not a matter of one party alone, how can we not take care of the laws of heaven and earth during practice? However, the way of heaven is always changing, and destiny Hard to find..."
She glanced at Guiyan and gave a faint compliment, because this was exactly the lyrics of Guiyan singing away when he became the demon of six desires.
"You should know that heaven and earth always exist but Dharma does not always exist. In extreme terms, only Tao exists forever, and heaven and earth also have their limitations, destruction, and perish. Have you ever traveled outside the realm and looked into the depths of the starry sky? , is there a scene of destruction and transformation of the world that is similar to our real world?"
Yu Ci was fascinated for a moment, but could only say: "I've never seen it before."
"Then you must go and see it, and you will live up to your life."
"The big world like the real world is almost boundless and may be destroyed under the influence of time. In the real world, it seems that the sun rises and the moon sets, but the laws of nature have actually been changing over the past few kalpas. There are also changes. The length of the replacement of the sun and the moon is now seven seconds longer than it was three kalpas ago. Although it is small, it is important to know and observe that the changes in the replacement of the sun and the moon have not changed accordingly. ”
"..."
Yu Ci couldn't help but look up at the sky, but the clouds closed the sky, making it difficult to see the stars and the moon. Even if he could see them, how could he compare them with those three tribulations ago?
But he believed that Hua Niangzi would not bully him about this matter.
"Tao is eternal; heaven and earth are long-lasting; law is time. Heaven and earth last forever, but it is difficult to last forever. How can a temporary law be permanent? The law of heaven and earth changes, so what about the practice of practice?"
Yu Ci took a deep breath: "Of course it will change."
"Yes, that's exactly what it is!"
Hua Niangzi’s smile did not change, and her words were even more understated, but what she said became more and more shocking: "From this we can see that Taoist friend "Tianfu Xuanwei Tongzhen Nine Degrees Sutra" is written in divine inscriptions. It is correct; but it is a big mistake to say that it is "connected to heaven and earth", unless the "heaven and earth" is understood as the meaning of "dao", then it can make sense.
"The scriptures and laws of various sects and sects actually convey the wonders of the 'Great Way', which cannot be described by ordinary words, so they are recorded in sacred texts. As for the secret method of overcoming tribulations, it is based on this sacred text. It is interpreted according to the laws of heaven and earth.
“Every time a great catastrophe of heaven and earth passes, the laws of heaven and earth must change. All kinds of secret methods for overcoming tribulations must also be modified and enhanced. Sometimes they even have to be completely overturned, and they must be proved step by step to prevent them from being out of touch with the new laws. , is the right way.
"Are the four great sects considered the top in this world? But apart from the special situation of Lunjianxuan, which has its own unique induction and verification methods, the Demon Sect has Taiyuan Hidden Star to wield the immeasurable method of the heavenly demon; Xuanmen There are Ziwei, Liuren, Taiyi, Tianyan and other techniques; Buddhism also has great wisdom methods. Over the past few kalpas, its various systems have been revised at least five times. Even if they are fine-tuned each time, the accumulation is quite considerable.
"But some sects in the world regard their secret methods for thousands of generations as a guide, respect them like gods, and stand still. Little do they know that after a great catastrophe of heaven and earth, all methods are always new, and they use the old stereotypes to analyze new methods. , how stupid is it? The metaphors of looking for a fish with a tree, carving a boat for a sword, and cutting your feet to fit the shoes are all designed for this kind of people! ”
There was no trace of emotion left in her words, and there was naturally a sense of arrogance, a condescending air of overlooking everything in the world.
But soon, she diluted these with a full smile, and used Yu Ci as an example: "Fellow Taoist is from the Lichen Sect. You should know that there is a book of empirical evidence in the sect. In my opinion, it is really extraordinary. Especially in recent years, they have actually accomplished a big thing..."
Yu Ci pursed her lips and realized in her heart: Yes, the Lichen Sect now has an extra method of deduction.
According to Hua Niangzi’s theory, the secret method of overcoming tribulation should be different interpretations of the fundamental classics of each sect in the context of different laws of heaven and earth. It is a living fish, but it is not a fishing and hunting technique.
Every time there is a great catastrophe, the system of laws of heaven and earth will undergo major or minor changes. Due to this change, no matter how exquisite and superior the monk's practice method is, it must be adjusted accordingly, otherwise there will be mistakes. possible.
The key to making this adjustment lies in the method of deduction.
The secret method of overcoming tribulations is only for "temporary use", while the method of deduction is the same as the sect's fundamental classics and is a wonderful technique that will never be changed.
The meaning is very clear, and for someone like Yu Ci who can clearly discern the system of laws of heaven and earth, it sounds even more real and practical.
Hua Niangzi said again: "It is actually normal for the Lichen Sect to lack the method of deduction. Apart from the four major sects, there are no more than five sects with the method of deduction; and the entire Zhenjie, including In the Blood Hell Ghost Mansion, there are no more than ten truly excellent derivation techniques, which shows how rare they are."
At this point, she changed the topic back: "The Demon Sect's Taiyuan Hidden Star holds the Heavenly Demon's Infinite Dharma. Although it is a first-class deduction skill, it has too high requirements for those who practice it. As far as I know, Except for one person each from the Earth Fire Demon Palace, Dongyang Orthodox Sect, and the West Branch of the Demon Sect, the other branches all have deficiencies and have been affected in recent years.
"Looking at the derivation process and changes in the twelve heavens of Biluotongyou, if there is a set of derivation techniques and it is inextricably related to the Demon Sect, how can they let it go?
"By the way, in recent years, Donghua Mountain has also published a book called "The True Interpretation of the Jade Book of Taichu", which was compiled by Lu Chen and Mrs. Huang Quan. Although it was only used to explain the secret method of surviving tribulations in the "Jade Book of Taichu" , there may also be methods of deduction among them - the complete secret method of overcoming tribulations should be integrated into the corresponding techniques of deduction. However, the requirements for such methods are too high. They must not only understand and clearly discern the laws and rules of the operation of heaven and earth, but also be extremely It takes time and energy, and it is difficult for a large family to sustain it, and it is easy to lose. ”
Listening to her explanation, Yu Ci felt that her eyes were opened and her thoughts were broadened. It felt like listening to your words was worth reading ten years... no, a hundred years of books.
But he was also surprised that he spoke in such detail, even pointing out the value and mystery of the Twelve Heavens and the "True Interpretation of the Taichu Jade Book". He was not afraid that Yu Ci would focus on Lu Suhua and eat alone. Not even sharing the soup?
To be honest, Yu Ci does have similar thoughts.
He has even begun to figure out how to avoid Mahakala's induction through the law of life and death - thinking about it carefully, it is not unsolvable.
Revolving around the law of existence and destruction of life and death, the situation of Yu Ci and Mahakala Buddha Mother Bodhisattva is like being blindfolded on both sides of a cloth barrier.
When they are in contact at the same time but do not know each other's existence, whether they can sense each other depends on their "strength" and "distance". If the force that activates the law is very weak and the "distance" between them is far, it is possible that they cannot be detected - just like when Yu Ci was in the East China Sea.
But when they know each other's existence and are in contact with each other at the same time, as long as they are careful, they can always feel the subtle shaking of the "barrier".
Of course, if one party simply doesn't touch anything, or touches but remains relatively still, it will be very difficult for the other party to find him.
If you completely fall out, you'd better be more careful when using the law of life and death in the future.
Anyway, he doesn’t have the cultivation level to leverage the law yet. The Death Demon Magical Power is just a derivative of the law. It belongs to the tributary of the Hengjie River, not the main trunk... At this point, the idea is already quite deep. A stimulus, he can definitely do that. Anyway, he has accumulated grievances over the years. If he can cause trouble for the Krishna Sect, he has no mental barriers at all.
Hua Niangzi must also have some feelings, but at least on the surface, she is still calm and calm:
"Since you have reached this level, fellow Taoists, you should know that there are superior and inferior methods of derivation, and the efficiency of derivation is very different between them? A careless choice can lead to hundreds or thousands of years of The gap... The method of deduction in this teaching is called 'Wu Qi Miao Jie'.
"It originated from the Buddhist Heart Sutra, and has been refined and perfected by two great masters for many kalpas. I dare not say that it is comparable to the major sects, but it is unique in the evolution of the two fundamental laws of 'true illusion' and 'life and death'. I think it will be enough to satisfy fellow Taoists."
Is this the flower lady’s trump card?
Yu Ci finally came to a conclusion in her heart, but it was not the time to show off her cards yet. She just smiled slightly and was about to speak when she heard the female cultivator say again: "In addition to the 'Wu Qi Wonderful Solution', I would also like to give you a copy I think fellow Taoists will also be satisfied with the gift.”
What gift?
When Yu Ci was stunned, the mountain peak they were standing on suddenly shook.
