fairy cage

Chapter 286
When Shan Yangzi was speaking to his followers, disciples and others, even though Yu Lie and other Taoist disciples were in the midst of a fierce fight, they all pricked up their "ears" to listen to what the other party said.

When they heard Sanyoko say that "Taoist" is just a link in the food chain, almost all the Taoists were startled and had a lot of doubts, and they felt conflicted with Shanyoko's statement.

Because in the Taoist books and principles that Taoists have come into contact with, man is the spirit of all things, Tao is the essence of heaven and earth, and is an existence above all things. It's just a thing.

Especially based on what the other party taught about the source of aura just now, the practice of Dao practice by all the people present is just to enrich the aura for the higher level and make wedding dresses for the other party.

Many Taoists doubted whether Shan Yangzi's theory of the origin of spiritual energy was correct, and some Taoists pulled out their spirits from the fight, and immediately shouted:
"Dare to ask the leader, can you explain a few questions to the disciple! The first ray in the world... ah!"

As a result, the Taoist who yelled did not finish his question. The living creature he possessed was instantly thrown down by the Taoist who was watching beside him, and it was swallowed into his stomach.

Amidst the screams, the Taoist who asked the question suddenly felt severe pain in his head and was in a trance. He left the Xiangyun area in an instant and fell back into the pulpit, dazed.

This question also attracted the attention of Sanyoko and others, but it only provoked Sanyoko's sneer:

"Only those who stand upright are qualified to speak when discussing Dao and Dharma today."

After Sanyozi finished speaking, he continued to look down on the Taoists who were fighting.

Yu Lie and the rest of the people who were still in the auspicious cloud immediately shivered, realizing that only those who passed the impromptu assessment of the other party were eligible to ask the other party for advice.

Because they didn't know how many people the other party would leave behind on the auspicious clouds, Yu Lie and the others locked in the last place.

Tigers roaring, wild bulls charging, flowers and plants eating meat... the extremely brutal scenes continued to be staged in the auspicious clouds.

The fierceness in the hearts of the Taoists was completely released, and after devouring the possessions of other Taoists, the possessions of the survivors had grown to the size of a pumpkin.

Yu Lie was among them, because of his prudent mind and outstanding soul strength, although he suffered a little risk, he was not eliminated by other people, and he was one of the Taoists who survived to the final stage.

At this time, there were only a dozen Taoist disciples left, and the speed of devouring each other slowed down, and everyone began to know how to deal with each other.

But the more this kind of time, the more nervous Yu Lie and others were, and they didn't dare to be negligent.

At this moment, Shan Yangzi, who was looking down at the crowd, suddenly laughed:
"What a fierce and cautious little Taoist disciple, as expected of coming out of the survival assessment, but with a bit of drive.

That's all, I've watched a good show, and this lesson will end here first, otherwise, if you really want to let you continue to deal with it, it may take a lot of time for the poor. "

Whoosh!

The opponent's sleeve flicked, and Yu Lie and the others instantly felt the possessed object dissipate, turning into clouds of air and melting under their feet.

Having lost his possession, Yu Lie immediately felt that his own existence was exposed to the air, and a great terror immediately hit his heart. He felt that he only needed another gust of wind, and his consciousness would be blown out like a lamp. Blow it out.

But a flash of spiritual light appeared in the consciousness of Yu Lie and the others immediately afterward. It was so gentle that it made people feel as if they had returned to their mother's womb.

I saw Shan Yangzi smiling, pinching a method in his hand, like holding an oil lamp, a fire gushed out from within, blessing the souls of the twelve Taoists, so that the souls of Yu Lie and others could stand directly on the ground. Above the clouds.

In an instant, shock appeared on the faces of the rest of the group of Taoists.

The 12 people are all the best among the more than [-] Taoist disciples. They are not fools. After being shocked, they quickly folded their bodies and bowed to Shan Yangzi:
"Thank you, Daoist!"

Yu Lie fell into it, and while breathing, he also secretly looked at his current form of existence, and found that he was shaped like a small doll, his body was exactly the same as his own body, but slightly transparent, similar to a ghost.

He looked at the other Taoists around and found that twelve people were like this, as if twelve dolls were bowing to Shan Yangzi.

"This is my soul?!" Yu Lie thought in amazement, and seized the time to feel the current feeling.

It should be noted that in the Taoist stage, the Taoist is only refining the true energy, and does not involve the soul very much.This kind of experience where the physical body is placed aside and the soul is self-contained is something they have never experienced in this life.

Moreover, for an eighth-rank Taoist to break through to become a seventh-rank Taoist, the biggest hurdle is that the soul condenses the Yin God and leaves the body!

With today's experience of leaving the body of the soul, when they are promoted later, not to mention whether the success rate will be improved, but in terms of experience alone, they will always increase a little, so that they will not be too flustered when they break through.

Just under the auspicious clouds.

Those Taoist disciples who were eliminated looked up in dismay. The fear in their eyes had not faded away. When they saw the souls of the twelve Taoist disciples standing on the auspicious clouds, they reacted with envy again on their faces , The color of remorse.

Among the ghosts and gods who followed Shan Yangzi, some people said in a joking tone:
"This group of Taoist disciples are really lucky. Not only can they get the performance lectures from the Taoist priest Sanyo, but they can also get the favor of the Taoist priest, and their souls can come out of the body to experience it. Waiting for a good teacher, I don’t know how many detours will be avoided.”

"Exactly. This kind of soul leaves the body, but it cannot damage the fragile souls of the Taoists. The subtlety of the Taoism required is rare among the hundreds of Taoist priests in the Taoist palace. Taoist Master Shanyangzi is one of them." Outstanding!"

Upon hearing this, Shan Yangzi laughed loudly and said:

"It's been over. It's just to find out the souls of these juniors, and this matter will only increase their chances of breaking through to priests by [-]%. It's not a big benefit."

After saying these words, the eyes of those eliminated disciples on the forum, who were already in a state of despair, turned red in an instant, envious and wishing they could slap themselves a few times on the spot, hating themselves for not seizing the opportunity.

Although everyone has entered the Taoist Palace, the possibility of breaking through to become a Taoist official is much higher than that of a Taoist who has not entered the palace, but it is not guaranteed. Sadly down the mountain.

Among every group of Taoist disciples entering the palace, there will be at least [-]% of these losers!

The disciples who failed on the podium repented, while the disciples in the auspicious clouds were overjoyed.

Among them, Yu Lie's mood was calm. Although he felt happy, he didn't overdo it.

After all, he has the sun-ranking golden flame in his body, and with this kind of fire that can refine and repair the soul, it is only a matter of time before he breaks through to become a Taoist official, and it is just that he will be trapped in the Taoist stage for a few years.

Taking advantage of the gap, Yu Lie was thinking about the content of Shanyoko's sermon just now, thinking more about it.

Suddenly, the soul of a Taoist shook, and the other party took a step, bowed solemnly to Shan Yangzi, and said:

"Just now, the Taoist priest has something to say. After the class test is over, we can ask the Taoist priest some questions. This disciple is bold and has doubts in his heart.

According to what the Taoist priest said, aura comes from the soul, so how did the first soul in the world come about? "

When the other party asked the question, it seemed that he was afraid that he was not clear about the question, and added: "It is mentioned in Youdao books that the spirituality of all things is born in the environment of aura, and aura can nourish the soul. Therefore, the disciple is really puzzled. Which comes first, the aura, or the soul."

Shan Yangzi heard this, nodded, and said, "That's a good question."

The person paused: "However, it's much more convenient for you to ask all the questions together. The poor will listen to a few more questions and then answer them together."

Immediately, another Taoist saluted and said loudly: "I have a question. According to what the Taoist master said, spiritual energy seems to have different qualities. How many grades are there? If low-level creatures consume high-grade spiritual energy, what kind of impact will it have?" ?”

Someone else said unwillingly:

"Master Daoist! My generation of cultivators have practiced for a lifetime just to make the spiritual energy in our body more pure? If this is the case, what is the difference between my generation and pigs and dogs?"

Someone took the question and said:

"My disciple also has this doubt. If we only eat food, what kind of heaven and earth principle should we pursue? What can help us to go to the next level in the food chain network, what should we pursue, and eat to eat? It's serious business!"

This unreconciled question seems to have touched the minds of many Taoists, and some people even boldly said:
"Eating and eating is no different from animals! Immortal Dao has been around for 3 years, and there are many classics, but it is still no match for the rules of eating and eating? Those predecessors who came first, did they all live on dogs? What kind of scriptures and classics should you write!"

When Yu Lie heard this, his thoughts were withdrawn. He was secretly stunned, and looked up, wondering who dared to say these words.

These words no longer seemed to be asking questions, but to vent their anger by cursing secretly.

In the end, he found out that the person who asked the question was an acquaintance. The other party's surname was Zhuang Mingchong, and he was the young Taoist who took the blame for him.Unexpectedly, this child also "survived".

As soon as Zhuang Chong's words were spoken, the other Taoist disciples who were present at the question all choked up and looked sideways, and the scene became cold.

After the other party finished speaking, he immediately realized something was wrong.He immediately prostrated himself on the ground, kowtowed to Shanyangzi, and hurriedly shouted: "The disciple is rude, please forgive me by the Taoist priest."

Shan Yangzi looked at Zhuang Chong with interest in his eyes, and there was no sullen expression on his face. Instead, he said to the ghosts and gods beside him with a smile:

"Let's just say poor Taoists, these Taoists are quite angry.

When preaching in previous years, even though those little guys were unwilling, they only dared to ask questions secretly, they were not so active, let alone pointed at the pioneers and cursed, and they didn't know who they were scolding. "

Yu Lie and other Taoist disciples were not sure what the other party meant, and they all lowered their heads and shouted: "Prince Taoist, forgive me!"

Sanyoko seemed to really not care about the people's sharp questions, but instead swung his sleeves and began to answer the people's questions:

"Your question involves a rather crucial question, that is, what is the relationship between spiritual energy or soul and external objects. That is, what is the dominant thing in this world, dead things? Living things? Aura or soul?"

Shan Yangzi asked himself and answered: "Pimpedao can tell you directly that the origin of my mountain and sea world, the origin of the three thousand worlds, or the origin of the more distant worlds in the void are all dead things!

In the development of the world, before the rocks, there are small things born, and then there are slightly larger things born, and then, plants, flesh and blood, etc. are born. At this stage, death is transformed into life, and vitality is born. It can be called a living creature!
Then on top of all kinds of vitality, like a living thing being born from a dead thing, a spirituality is born slowly, and this spirituality may be the original aura.

Accumulation of aura can be integrated into living things, prompting flesh, grass, trees and other things to give birth to spirituality and grow stronger. This cycle goes on and on, accumulating more and more, until aura is everywhere in the world, forming a spiritual environment, and then there is A true spirit within a spirit is born.

This kind of spirit in the spirit has its own consciousness, thinks that it is different from other things, and calls it "I", separates the self from the world, and even thinks that the world exists because of the existence of "I", and everything is because of the existence of "I". I'm perishing with perishing, great absurd..."

After a long speech, from Shan Yangzi's mouth, eleven of the twelve disciples were stunned, and the heart of the remaining one was beating wildly.

Yu Lie was the one whose heart was beating wildly. He thought in shock: "The source of spiritual energy is actually this truth. The fairy way in this world is actually like this...how can only things survive?!"

Shan Yangzi, who was preaching, looked at the numb-faced disciples and realized that they still didn't understand, so he paused and concluded:

"In short, the creation of the world means that living things are born from dead things, and spiritual things are reborn from living things. When the spiritual things mature, they have formed their own spirituality, which can be called' human nature'.

This point is also the source of the saying 'man is the spirit of all things'.

That is to say, there is no difference between the aura-thing and the soul-thing. It is just the difference between a block of wood and a stone, and a built house. The former is invisible, while the latter is tangible.

As for how the first ray of aura was born, it is like how the first living thing was born from a dead thing. Today's immortals believe that this is an accident and necessity in the endless years. "

At this point, Shan Yangzi's voice stopped abruptly. He looked at the group of Taoist disciples who were in a daze, and shook his head slightly, realizing that these Taoist disciples hadn't woken up from the shock just now, and what he said was a little too deep .

But at this moment, a Taoist suddenly cupped his hands and asked a question:

"Dare to ask the chief, what does the occasional and inevitable in the Taoist chief's mouth mean?"

When Shanyangzi heard it, he didn't take it seriously, and wanted to prevaricate casually.

As a result, the Taoist who asked the question added:

"What the Taoist priest is referring to is that the Dao evolves from one to all things. Among the infinite dead things, there must be living things born, and among the infinite living things, there must be spiritual things born. This is where the Dao comes from. The direction of flow does not change with time or stop with things. Although it is unpredictable, it must be so?

Dao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, three begets all things?
So, is there a higher level of beings in our generation, and what is this higher level?Xianye, God? "

When Shan Yangzi heard this, his eyelids twitched, he pulled up his beard, and looked at the Taoist who asked the question in surprise.

The Taoist who asked the question was none other than Yu Lie himself.He arched his hands and asked respectfully.

Not only Shan Yangzi stared at Yu Lie, but also the ghosts and gods around him also looked at Yu Lie.

As for the ignorant and stunned Taoists, when they heard Yu Lie ask such an awkward and profound question, although they didn't quite understand why, they looked at it subconsciously.
