Pawn Crossing the River

Chapter 26 The Art of Peace

After Qi Xuansu escaped from Wu Guangbi's "magic clutches", he continued to wander in the same long corridor.

In fact, Qi Xuansu had a hunch that following Wu Guangbi and Li Tianzhen would be the best choice. "Tianting" has been entrenched in Nanyang for many years, and must have studied deeply about the Dragon Palace on the Sea. This time Wu Guangbi personally escorted Li Tianzhen to the Dragon Palace on the Sea, which should be certain. Be sure to find the Queen's inheritance, rather than just relying on luck.

In the eyes of ordinary people, God's will is unpredictable, and it is difficult to ask what God's will has been since ancient times. But in the eyes of immortals, God's will has certain laws, but this changing law is hidden behind various appearances and is not known to the world. Immortals can see through its external appearance, so they are said to be the masters of heaven and earth.

In the same way, the Dragon Palace on the Sea seems mysterious and mysterious, but in the final analysis it is a divine kingdom created by an immortal. Its internal operation must also follow certain laws, just like the rising and setting of the sun, the vicissitudes of the sea, and then this kind of Laws are hidden beneath all kinds of appearances. People with lower realms cannot discover this pattern through appearances. Naturally, it all depends on luck, and everything seems mysterious and unpredictable. However, the "Heavenly Court" has the founder of Jin Gong and the Li family has the national master. Naturally, it does not exist and cannot be discovered. Appearance. Let’s not talk about the distance, let’s talk about Master Landa. He spent a while to guess the specific location of the Dragon Palace on the sea, successfully entered it, and found exactly what he needed. This was obviously not something that could be achieved by luck. .

It's a pity that Qi Xuansu's current cultivation level is limited. He can't escape but can't fight, let alone quietly follow behind and reap the profits. It would be more like Qi Niang coming here in person.

Now, Qi Xuansu doesn't want to go home empty-handed. It's good to get a more practical treasure. It's just an unexpected surprise.

Along the way, Qi Xuansu met several people one after another, including spiritual officials from Taoist sects and lucky people who entered the Dragon Palace on the Sea from other places. Qi Xuansu ignored them.

He also found a few rooms, but they were already empty, obviously someone had visited them in advance.

Qi Xuansu used his thoughts to count the simulated heartbeats of his body and mind, and roughly calculated the time. Two and a half hours had passed. According to Ding Chou Lingguan, the Sea Dragon Palace would only last for four hours each time it was opened. In other words, he There is still an hour and a half left, which is equivalent to three hours in Western time.

Qi Xuansu calmed down and continued to move forward without any concern for gain or loss.

After another hour of this, Qi Xuansu finally found a rather special room, where there was a volume on the table.

Qi Xuansu picked it up and took a look, and saw four big characters "Taiping Yashu" written on the cover!

Qi Xuansu suddenly looked strange.

"Taiping Yaoshu", as the name suggests, has a close relationship with Taiping Dao. These four words seem a bit unfamiliar, but "Taiping Yaoshu" is also known as "Taiping Qingling Shu", which is very familiar.

Qi Xuansu never expected that instead of finding the legendary Queen of Heaven's inheritance, he would find the inheritance of Taiping Dao.

During the Yellow Turban Uprising, Taiping Tao swept the world. This is the fundamental classic teaching of Taiping Tao. Strictly speaking, this "Taiping Qingling Book" is not today's "Taiping Qingling Book". The latter is just a great method, but the former is a complete inheritance system, just like Xuansheng established on the basis of his predecessors. The five immortals inheritance system, as well as the Sanren inheritance system and the acquired immortal inheritance system created by later generations on the basis of Xuansheng.

Therefore, "Taiping Yaoshu" includes "Taiping Qing Ling Jing", but "Taiping Qing Ling Jing" does not include "Taiping Yaoshu". In other words, friends include friends, but friends do not include friends.

When the Taiping Dao Uprising failed, the Taiping Dao was torn apart, the great virtuous master died, and the "Essential Techniques of Taiping" disappeared. In other words, each remnant of the Taiping Dao had mastered part of the "Essential Techniques of Taiping", but it was not complete. It is said that the complete "Essentials of Taiping" has 57 volumes in addition to the general outline and 17 volumes in total, totaling 170 volumes.

By the end of the previous dynasty, the Five Great Sects were divided into two major camps, tentatively divided into good and evil. Among them, the right way mastered the general outline of "Taiping Yashu", and this part of the general outline was divided into upper and lower parts. The upper part was controlled by the Shen family. It is called "Taiping Jing", and the second half is controlled by the Li family and is called "Qingling Jing", also known as "Xuanwei Zhenshu". Later, Xuan Sheng came forward and combined the "Taiping Jing" and "Qing Ling Jing" into one, which is today's "Taiping Qing Ling Jing".

As for the ten parts under the general outline, they fell into the hands of the evil camp.

The reason why the Taoist sect distinguishes good from evil is similar to the dispute between the Confucian sect Yasheng and Xunqing. The Taoist sect has a founder, Yang Gong, who is later than the founder of the Mohist school and earlier than the Yasheng. He advocates preserving the true nature and cherishing oneself. He also put forward the famous saying of the world: "In ancient times, if you lose a penny to benefit the world, you won't give it back; you know that the world is dedicated to you, and you won't take it. If everyone doesn't lose a penny, everyone will be detrimental to the world, and the world will be governed."

It's just that later generations took it out of context and turned it into "Pluck a hair and make a profit, and the world will not agree with it."

The lineage of Patriarch Yang Gong is similar to that of Taishang Taoist Patriarch: "You value your body for the world, if you can send it to the world. You love your body for the world, if it can be trusted by the world." There are similarities, but not completely consistent. They were reprimanded by Nanhua Taoist Lord. This leads to the distinction between good and evil.

After Xuan Sheng rebuilt the Taoist sect, he still recognized Patriarch Yang Gong's status as the Patriarch.

Patriarch Yang Gong collected all kinds of strange skills and methods from all over the world, eliminated the unnecessary and retained the essential, and finally compiled it into a book. Because it was all-inclusive, many of the contents did not come from Taoism, so Patriarch Yang Gong did not name him, and later generations called him nameless. Ten volumes of the Book of Heaven. Later, the evil path was divided into ten channels, each of which held a volume of the Heavenly Book, from which the supernatural powers of the ten channels were extended.

It's just that the older the various techniques, the better. There are also geniuses in later generations who continue to improve and perfect the techniques. For example, the "Thirty-Six Swords of the Big Dipper" was originally only a top-notch technique. Later, it was eliminated by Li Daoxu. After Wucunjinghe improved it, it became a Dacheng method that is as famous as "Cihang Pudu Sword Code" and "Thirteen Taiyin Swords". Therefore, these ten volumes of heavenly books have also undergone various repairs. The ten "Essential Techniques of Taiping" mastered by the evil Taoists were integrated into the ten volumes of the Unnamed Heavenly Book of Patriarch Yang Gong. Now they have returned to Taoism, but they are still called the "Unknown Heavenly Book" and are not related to the "Taiping Qingling Jing" Oneness.

Back then, Song Zheng, with the support of Xu Wugui, forced other sects to donate their own copies of the Heavenly Book, thus recreating the full picture of the Heavenly Book left by Patriarch Yang Gong. Later, the reason why Tantaiyun was able to reach the stage of immortality at the age of forty was precisely due to the ten volumes of the Heavenly Book. In this regard, the "Ten Volumes of the Book of Heaven" is also considered to be the method of great success.

All in all, today's "Taiping Qingling Jing" and "Unknown Heavenly Book" add up to the "Taiping Essentials".

But this is nothing, because all Taoist sects have them.

With Qi Xuansu's current status, it is not difficult to obtain these two great skills.

The key is that it is difficult to practice. As Qi Xuansu said, he has not even fully cultivated the Taoist method, so there is no point in forcing too much.

From this point of view, "Taiping Yashu" is somewhat useless to Qi Xuansu.

However, after Qi Xuansu thought about it, he could not say that "Taiping Yashu" was completely useless. In fact, the biggest problem with "Taiping Qingling Jing" and "Unknown Heavenly Book" is that they have gone through many deletions and revisions. It cannot be said that they are completely different, but they have also changed drastically. In particular, Xuan Sheng established the Five Immortals system to separate the cultivation methods and magical powers. Nowadays, many great methods only have the magical power part and no cultivation methods. The corresponding original must still be there, but ordinary people can't see it at all, and can only access the magical part.

This has also led to the failure of many great methods to be practiced at all, such as the "Eternal Life Sutra", whose cultivation method talks about the method of dual cultivation for men and women, the technique of strengthening the foundation and cultivating the essence, which is the so-called "Three Thousands of Royal Women" to achieve enlightenment and ascend. After deleting the cultivation method, almost no one chooses this great method anymore.

Xuan Sheng integrated the inheritance, eliminated the bad and retained the good, and greatly raised the lower limit, allowing many people who had no hope of becoming a heavenly being in the stage of being a heavenly being as long as they followed the steps step by step and followed this theorem and formula without taking detours, they could also become a heavenly being. But it also weakens the upper limit to a certain extent. It is equivalent to Xuan Sheng blocking the road. It is true that there are no detours, but there is no room for improvement and change. For many geniuses, it is best to learn directly and be able to embody it. The author's original intention of the original article is finally integrated, and one method can be used to understand all methods. Simply put, only by knowing what is wrong can we better understand what is right. This is mutual confirmation.

Zhang Yuelu learned the original version of "Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Zhengfa" and "Dragon and Tiger Sword Art", so there is nothing wrong with them. Although it is due to his own inheritance, it also shows the advantage of genius.

If this volume of "Taiping Yaoshu" is the original complete volume, it would be of great value. It might also contain some lost content, that is, content that is not within the scope of "Taiping Qingling Jing" and "Unknown Heavenly Book". Even though there is only one volume, there may be something else in it that can accommodate hundreds of volumes.

In short, Qi Xuansu can learn from it and share it with Zhang Yuelu, and it will not be a loss.

Originally, Qi Xuansu could only obtain "Qingyun" by being exposed to Zhang Yuelu's favor. Otherwise, why would the Heavenly Master hand "Qingyun" into the hands of a man with a foreign surname? It is reasonable for him to share "Taiping Yashu" with Zhang Yuelu, not to mention this book This is the advantage of innate banished immortals.

It’s funny to say that the people who are banished to immortals from the innate world clearly have the word “innate”, but they have to rely on acquired learning and accumulation, while the people who are banished to the immortals from the acquired world have the word “the day after tomorrow”, but their development direction has already been planned in the innate world. .

As for why the Queen of Heaven has the "Taiping Technique", it is not surprising. Since ancient times, witchcraft and Taoism have not been divided into families. Even if the ancestor Tianshi destroyed the ancient witchcraft, the eleven witches are still subordinates of the Emperor of Heaven. This is equivalent to that within their own family. fight.

Before the Queen of Heaven became a god, she had the status of a "witch in the inner circle" and was called a "goddess". The eleven great witches were also called goddesses. For example, at Wuxia Goddess Peak, witches and goddesses are closely linked and are one body. Both sides. It can be seen that the Queen of Heaven has the identity of a shaman, and later gradually integrated elements of the three religions. Nowadays, most people in the Taoist sect believe that the belief in Tianhou evolved from the belief in witchcraft and Taoism. During the development process, it also incorporated elements of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, and finally gradually stood out from many sea gods.

When "Taiping Yashu" was born, it was an era when Confucianism was the only one respected. As the masters of the world, Confucianism's evaluation of "Taiping Yashu" was "many shamans and murmurs".

What is witchcraft? Witches are called witches and wizards are called 觋, collectively called "witches and witches".

As a great witch, it is reasonable for the Queen of Heaven to possess the "Essential Art of Peace".
