The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain
290. Can the three volumes of Taoism predict longevity? (Please order in full)
"True Immortal Seed?"
"Does Monarch Hou really mean what he said?"
Shi Chongxuan originally came with Princess Jinxian for a formality, so he had been absent-minded. Now when he heard Hou Shaowei's words, he looked slightly startled and solemn, and quickly looked at Bai Gui.
Taoism has the art of hope.
For example, "Historical Records" records that when Qin Shihuang was alive, someone who was proficient in the art of looking at Qi said: "Five hundred years later, Jinling will have the Qi of the Son of Heaven." So Qin Shihuang changed the name, opened rivers, dug mountains, and cut off the dragon veins of Jinling. Fan Zeng, Xiang Yu's adviser, said to Liu Bang: "I make people look at his Qi, and they are all like dragons and tigers, all in five colors. This is the Qi of the Emperor."
Liu Ji also once looked up and saw five-colored clouds between the fighting and oxen, so he went out to assist Zhu Yuanzhang.
It's just that people who don't have deep spiritual knowledge will not look at Qi at will. Looking at Qi will damage one's own merit. After all, it is equivalent to peeking into the secrets of heaven and man.
Shi Chongxuan was born in Hansu, and although he was good at Taoism, he was not as good as Hou Shaowei, the master of Louguan Taoism. In addition, although Bai Gui was the number one scholar in both rankings, he had no personal stake in it, so how could he easily give Bai Gui favors? , similarly, if Bai Gui had not wanted to become a disciple of Hou Shaowei, Hou Shaowei would not have been disappointed...
When Shi Chongxuan looked at it, he first saw a cloud of purple-red air.
Red represents happy events, success, promotion and wealth, etc.
Purple, auspicious, lies in luck, and is generally found in noble people.
He nodded slightly. This was normal. Bai Gui had just passed the first prize and was appointed as an official in the Secretariat Province. It was a noble position and his future was extremely promising, so the purple color was natural.
He continued to look at the aura, and deeper into the purple-red aura... there was a ball of purple-gold light, with a white deer god mixed in between.
"It is indeed a true fairy seed..."
"Ordinary people are white with gray, officials are red, noble people are purple, and those who can attain the Tao are purple light, golden light and noble appearance, but this is the appearance of the lower grade, and the appearance of the middle grade is the mixture of purple gold light and gods... "
"The appearance of the highest grade is pure gold and pure purple, the appearance of gods and bodhisattvas. The appearance of the immortal grade is self-control without appearance, harmonious light and dustless..."
Shi Chongxuan said slowly.
The Golden Fairy Princess next to him is his apprentice, and he needs to explain to the Golden Fairy Princess.
Otherwise, he would not spit out Taoist secrets indiscriminately.
The people nearby, except Bai Gui, are all Taoists, and Bai Gui, the true immortal seed, is obviously also able to enter Taoism, so it is not a big deal to reveal it.
"Only a middle-grade... one has true immortal seeds and the qualifications to become an immortal?"
Princess Jinxian was surprised.
"The high-grade ones are the reincarnations of gods and bodhisattvas. How can they be so easy to obtain? If a poor Taoist can get the low-grade appearance at the beginning of his cultivation, it will be a blessing that cannot be obtained..."
Shi Chongxuan sighed and said.
If you think of cultivating Taoism and becoming an immortal, you need to have at least low-grade purple light, golden light and noble appearance.
Noble people are born with purple energy, such as Princess Jinxian and Princess Yuzhen. As royal blood, they have purple energy, so they only need to have the golden light phase, and the golden light phase can be obtained by accumulating merit. Therefore, noble people practice Taoism, You are born to be one step ahead of others.
"Tai Shang Inspiration Chapter" says: "Those who desire heavenly immortals should do one thousand three hundred good deeds, and those who desire earthly immortals should do three hundred good deeds."
It is much easier for noble people to accumulate good deeds than for ordinary people.
At first, Shi Chongxuan only had golden light and no purple energy, so he worshiped Princess Taiping. Later, he became Hongluqing, and added purple energy, barely achieving the appearance of purple light and golden light.
"I see."
"I exchanged my Taoist skills for my profound talent, which is equivalent to having the appearance of being able to practice Taoism from the beginning, which is what Shi Chongxuan said is the low-grade purple light and golden light. Later, I obtained the White Deer Immortal Grass, integrated it into my body, and gained the status of a god. Mutually……"
"The purple light is for nobility, the golden light is for accumulating virtue and doing good deeds..."
"I have always paid attention to accumulating good deeds, so I have been blessed with deep blessings, and the white deer threw myself..."
Bai Gui thought to himself after hearing Shi Chongxuan's explanation.
"Although a poor Taoist hopes that you have immortality, you should not be arrogant. You must know that when the water is full, it overflows, and when the moon is full, it will lose!"
"You need to keep this in mind, otherwise even if you have the seed of a true immortal, you cannot ask for immortality..."
After all, Hou Shaowei is a real person. After losing his composure for a while, he calmed down and said something.
"I understand the intention of the watcher, and I don't dare to have any arrogance..."
"Pursuing the truth is for me, not others. Just make one effort every day. There is no need to care about other people's opinions!"
Bai Gui looked calm and replied.
Lu Zu's qualifications were good enough. Han Zhongli tried to enlighten Lu Zu ten times.
"Idiot?"
"Are you still calling Pindao Temple Master now?"
Hou Shaowei saw Bai Gui's calm expression and praised in his heart. No matter whether Bai Gui was pretending to look like this or it was what he thought in his heart, it was still a thousand times better than someone who was not good at nourishing qi.
"Disciple has met Master."
Bai Gui was slightly startled, and immediately took a step back, lifted up the front hem, and was about to kneel on the ground to salute.
"Don't be so anxious to perform the master-disciple ceremony."
"It won't be too late for you to kneel down after my master has given you the teachings."
Hou Shaowei stepped forward to stop him and said with a smile.
A disciple chooses a teacher, and a teacher chooses a disciple. Everyone wants to have a good disciple who knows how to respect their master. Bai Gui is now the number one in both rankings. Judging from the generosity of Princess Jinxian when she just said that she would donate sesame oil money to Haotian Temple, maybe even the Prince Consort could do it, which shows that she has a bright future, and although there are often people at the entrance of Haotian Temple Pyrotechnics disciples clean up, but they kneel down and salute directly, which is something most people cannot do.
Pyrotechnics were people who did odd jobs in the old days.
"Thank you, Master."
Bai Gui nodded and made a bow.
"We also invite Master Dongxuan and Taoist friend Shi to enter the Taoist temple to observe the ceremony."
Hou Shaowei raised his fly whisk and said.
The two Taoists, Princess Jinxian and Shi Chongxuan, nodded politely.
The three of them entered the Laojun Palace.
Louguan Taoism does not have any complex system of gods and goddesses, and the main sacrifice is Laozi, the Taishang Taoist ancestor.
Therefore, the burial place is right here.
Under the clay statue of Taishang Taoist ancestors, there are tablets of the ancestors of Louguan Taoism.
"You go take a shower and change clothes first."
"After bathing, I will worship the Patriarch again. Wen Xuan, you take your junior brother to the side hall and change him into Taoist robes."
Hou Shaowei said to a young Taoist priest who walked in later.
The young Taoist priest named Zhou Wenxuan was Hou Shaowei's eldest disciple and the only disciple who entered the family.
Soon, the bath aromatherapy was completed.
"Nowadays, I have a disciple named Bai Gui who is dedicated to Taoism. He used to visit the Immortal Monastery and practice Taoism under our sect's holy temple. Later, in the second year of Zhong Jingyun's reign, he became a Jinshi scholar. He passed the examination of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and became the school secretary. He does not admire power and always has a Taoist heart. ..., heaven and earth serve as a mirror, Taishang Taoist ancestors are above, Wen Shizhen is above, and all the ancestors are witnesses, and they are included in the gate wall of our sect's holy temple, and they are the thirty-four generations of disciples."
Hou Shaowei looked at Bai Gui, who was kneeling on the futon, and paused, "When you first enter the door, I will teach you the "Tai Shang Three and Five Du Gong Sutra", are you willing?"
"Disciple is willing!"
Bai Gui knelt down and said.
He understood what Hou Shaowei meant. It was common to confer titles to powerful people, such as Princess Jinxian and Princess Yuzhen. The granting of titles was not simple. When the princess conferred the urn, it was "Shangqing Three Cave Sutra Ruan" and "Shangqing Dadong Sutra Ruan", which were the titles of the second rank and the first rank respectively.
For Hou Shaowei, it is not impossible to give him a higher talisman.
It's just that the road is one step at a time. If it gets higher, it may not be better.
At least Bai Gui didn't see much benefit from the two princesses receiving the first- and second-grade talismans.
"Children can be taught!"
"The "Three Cave Public Precepts" says: 'If you don't teach the Taoist scriptures from a teacher, you will not be able to practice it spiritually.' You have now received the Taoist talismans from our sect. These are the three volumes of Taoism passed down by your master, which are called "Ziyun". "Wonderful Purpose", "Qingyu Hidden Method", "Guishan Policy"."
"You can choose one and get used to it."
Hou Shaowei bowed respectfully to the ancestor's tablet three times, then took out three volumes of silk books from his sleeve and said to Bai Gui.
"(Yin) Wen Cao gained a deep understanding of metaphysics by reading "Xisheng Sutra", "Lingbao Sutra", etc. He studied under Master Zhou and was taught Guishan Ce, Qingyu Hidden Method, and Ziyun Wonderful Edict." - " Monument of Master Yin Qingguanglu, the ancient emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and Master Tianshui Yin
"Master, I have just learned Taoism and have never been exposed to Taoism. I dare not make random choices without authorization, lest I delay my own path."
Bai Gui looked at these three volumes of Taoism and felt a little excited in his heart. This was the real Taoism of Louguan Taoism, an opportunity to become a heavenly and earthly immortal.
When he was in the main world, it was not that he had never been exposed to Taoism. He had also been exposed to all the Taoist scrolls that made him a heavenly immortal or an earthly immortal!
But as Hou Shaowei said, if the Taoist scriptures are not taught by teachers, they will not be practiced in a spiritual way. If you have not worshiped under the Taoist temple and have not told the ancestors of all generations and the immortals in the upper world, then even if you get the Dharma, you will not understand it. Can't practice.
Now he is worshiping under the Louguan Taoist sect. He is a disciple of the Taishang Zhenger Ba Jing. He is qualified to dabble in and practice these Taoist methods.
"My disciple hopes for immortality, but among the three volumes of Taoism, I don't know which method can lead to eternal life..."
"Master, please take a clear look at it!"
Bai Gui suppressed his inner excitement and said sincerely.
If you don’t understand, you just don’t understand. There is no need to go there and make random choices. It is better to follow the teacher's orders than to act randomly on your own. Now that he has worshiped Hou Shaowei as his master, he truly enjoys both glory and disgrace, so it is impossible for Hou Shaowei, his master, to harm him.
Taoism emphasizes that "the law should not be taught lightly, and the Tao should not be taught lightly."
For example, Lu Zu was enlightened by his master Han Zhongli. Lu Zu asked Han Zhongli, "Master, counting the years of eleven hundred and zero, how many people can he save?" Han Zhongli said, "You can only save one person."
Worshiping a master is not like worshiping a teacher in Confucianism. In Confucianism, one can only worship one master. In Taoism, one can only worship one master.
"These three methods are the fundamental methods of Louguan Tao taught by my Supreme Being. They can all hope for eternal life."
""Purple Cloud Wonderful Edict" is the art of presiding over the ritual ceremony. This is the method I learned from my teacher. Practicing this method to induce the heavens and humans is like steaming purple clouds carrying Haotian's wonderful edict..., and the body is bathed in heaven's grace. , when you practice the precepts, you can hope for immortals and gods..."
Hou Shaowei nodded and smiled.
He didn't find it strange that Bai Gui said this. The three volumes of Taoism determine the future path. It would be weird not to choose carefully. Those who can pass the Jinshi examination are not fools.
"This method is not suitable for disciples. Please ask Master to explain the other two methods."
Bai Gui thought of his senior brother Zhou Wenxuan just now, and knew that once he chose this method, it was inevitable that his senior brother Zhou Wenxuan would be against him. Although he didn't know what method Zhou Wenxuan chose, he knew that the only disciple who entered the house now was Zhou Wenxuan. Xuan Yiren, Zhou Wenxuan looks to be about 25 or 26 years old. He must be the candidate to succeed the head of Louguan Taoism. As he presides over royal sacrifices such as Zongshenguan, it is very suitable to practice "Purple Cloud Wonderful Edict".
Of course, it was also because Ziyun Miaozhi was not suitable for him.
Hou Shaowei made it very clear about Ziyun Miaozhi just now, which involves presiding over the ritual ceremony, sensing gods, etc., and then praying to immortals. In other words, when presiding over the ritual ceremony, one accepts the blessings from the upper world and then performs one's own hard work...
"The "Qingyu Hidden Method" is a hermit's method and is not suitable for you."
"Since you are unwilling to accept "Ziyun's Wonderful Edict", then "Guishan Policy" is the most suitable for you."
Hou Shaowei sighed, shook his head and said.
