Chapter 365 Four Holy Awakening Spirits
Dapan Peak.

This spiritual peak is more than a thousand feet high, and there are climbing stone steps at the foot of the mountain, leading directly to the Lishan Taoist Temple on the top of the mountain.

Next to the stone steps is a stele to untie the sword, and there is a no-fly formation on the stele to prevent the monks from the imperial city from flying between the peaks. If you want to go to the Lishan Taoist Temple, you must climb along the stone steps on foot.

When Fang Dushu and others rushed to the foot of the mountain, a few monks of Jindan period also happened to follow. When they saw Fang Dushu, they immediately chased after him.

The two sides gathered together at the Jiejian Monument and climbed the mountain together.

On the way, Fang Dushu walked side by side with a one-armed monk, and asked, "Master, do you want to find out the cause of Master Pikuyuan's death?"

This one-armed monk is the Pili volunteer teacher of Xiaoyuan Temple. He raised his palm and replied: "The head of the Discipline Hall of the Bi Temple accompanied Elder Xiang from the Law Enforcement Hall of the Sanhua Sect the other day. Regarding the cause of death of the benefactor, there is no need for the poor monk to waste any more words."

Back then, Master Pikuyuan and Xiang Peining both died in the Meteor Garden, and they both had soul tokens stored in the Xiaoyuan Temple and the Sanhua Sect. The moment they died, the two factions' main altars had already received the news.

On the second day after Fang Dushu entered the imperial city, elders from both factions came to his door to inquire about the cause of death.

Fang Dushu admitted that he had personally experienced the deaths of Pikuyuanshi and Xiang Peining, and pointed out that the murderers were the deer butcher Xue Fuke and Mingxiu Shiliugong.

Fang Dushu's private testimony was not convincing because of the testimony that Fu Yuqing was trapped in the Evergreen Realm, but neither the Xiaoyuan Temple nor the Sanhua School made things difficult for Fang Dushu. It's just a formality, to show how much the sect attaches importance to the missing disciples.

As for how credible Fang Dushu's testimony is, neither faction is prepared to investigate to the end. After all, at Laoquanguan, Master Chu personally promised to recommend Fang Dushu to the Daxi court and the Shenzhou Shangzong. , the two factions will never touch Master Chu's bad luck.

In fact, even if Guru Chu hadn't spoken, the two factions would still have to turn major issues into minor ones, because Fang Dushu saved Fu Shentong, and the Fu family owed Fang Dushu a favor. With the current royal status of the Fu family, they have the ability to ask for two Paying dividends is a matter of peace.

For this reason, Master Pi Liyuan was very knowledgeable. He didn't inquire about the cause of his brother's death, but only mentioned another matter: "In the past, there were lower courts of Buddhism in Liang State, which were specially provided for female disciples to practice. Many of them have superficial mana, and they are often disturbed by casual cultivators, so in order to protect themselves, they establish a pilgrimage relationship with Xiaoyuan Temple, so that they can use the name of the temple to stay away from the night.”

Liangguo's Buddhism is prosperous, and monks and nuns all over Hexi often go to Liangguo to open up their residences. After obtaining the consent of Xiaoyuan Temple, he was given the name of the lower house of Xiaoyuan Temple.

These lower houses nominally listen to the Buddhist order of Xiaoyuan Temple, but they are not under the jurisdiction of Xiaoyuan Temple on a daily basis. Male monks and female nuns basically have no contact with each other, unless there is a disaster of overthrow.

The volunteer teacher Pili said again: "As the Gouye people invaded Liangguo, Xiaoyuan Temple no longer had a place to preach Buddhism, and was forced to move to the imperial city for temporary shelter. The niece Bifang's Lingbizhai is also the lower house of the Bi Temple, and the benefactor Fang can inform her that Lingbizhai and Bisi no longer belong to each other."

After moving into the imperial city, Xiaoyuan Temple had lost all its territory, and the members of the Xiayuan Temple lived together with Xiaoyuan Temple in the imperial city. Even though they separated the male monks from the female disciples, it still caused rumors in the city.

Therefore, although Xiaoyuan Temple has fewer disciples now and cannot afford to leave the disciples, but for the sake of the reputation of Buddhism, it is still necessary to cut off the connection with the female disciples of the Lower Court.

This decision is not aimed at Bi Fang alone, but all nuns. In the future, they will have to clean up by themselves, no matter whether they return to vulgarity or build a temple in the territory of Li, they are not allowed to use the name of the lower court of Xiaoyuan Temple.

Originally, Fang Dushu planned to talk to Master Piliyuan about Bi Fang, but unexpectedly, Xiaoyuan Temple wanted to expel all the nuns, which saved him a lot of effort: "Master, if Bi Fang disbands Ling Bi Zhai , she returns to vulgarity herself, will your monastery impose restrictions?"

Master Pi Liyuan said: "Bi Si and Ling Bi Zhai are no longer affiliated, Bi Fang's future is up to her to decide, and Bi Si will not interfere with her in the slightest."

Fang Dushu asked again: "Bifang also has a senior sister, Mrs. Dingmei, how does she plan?"

At the beginning, Master Dingmei withdrew from Liangguo with Pi Li Yuan Shi and entered the imperial city. Pi Li Yuan Shi knew the situation and sighed and said: "The war in Hexi is getting worse and worse. I don't know when it will end. Despicable! The monastery is full of monks, so we can't stay on the battlefield all year round to kill, this is against the Buddhist rules, and it's not what we want!"

Fang Dushu retorted: "It's really difficult for you masters, but we are in Hexi, no matter how pious our hearts are towards Buddha, we will not be treated differently by the Gouye people. They will clean everything, regardless of monks and Taoists. "

Why doesn't Master Pili understand the truth?Why did he follow Xiaoyuan Temple and resolutely resist the Gouye people? Isn't it because the Gouye people want to kill the monks in Hexi?
But the Gouye people did this to survive. From the standpoint of the Gouye people, there is no right or wrong.

Xiaoyuan Temple's confrontation with the Gouye people is not about subduing demons and eliminating demons. If the killing is too serious, how can they practice in the future?I am afraid that all Xiaoyuan's disciples will bear the burden of killing, which will eventually lead to evil results, making it difficult to improve their cultivation, or being polluted by the demons in the Buddha's mind.

Nowadays, the war-weariness among the people in Xiaoyuan Temple is extremely serious. From the abbot Wanglei to the young monk, they are unwilling to continue fighting, but the Gouye people and the deer butchers are already under their noses, and they can't make peace. .

Then it can only be avoided.

Master Pili also revealed: "A few days ago, the abbot sent back the decree from Laoquanguan, ordering several Dayuan masters in the temple to go out to find the Buddhist kingdom in Nantian. .”

Certainly not all the disciples in Xiaoyuan Temple are willing to travel long distances. They will abide by the principle of voluntariness and are willing to go to the southern sky to seek scriptures. They will take away all the disciples, male and female.

As soon as Master Pi Liyuan said this, not only Fang Dushu was stunned, but Tie Ming and Master Zang Jian were all shocked: "The holy monks are going to leave Hexi to go to Nantian Buddhist Kingdom to seek scriptures? Nantian Buddhist Kingdom is here. What boundary, how far is it from Hexi?"

Wish Master Pi Li couldn't give an answer, he only mentioned Qinghe Shenzhou, and he would be able to find out the location of Nantian Buddha Kingdom.

Judging from his tone, he was determined to leave Hexi.

This made Tie Ming and Master Zang Jianwen feel depressed. It should be known that Xiaoyuan Temple is extremely powerful, and there are several Nascent Soul monks sitting in the temple. If they all leave Hexi, it will be a great loss.

The newly established Dapan court will face an even more severe situation.

All the way to the top of the mountain, they were all talking about this matter, so that their thoughts of participating in the Guiling Puja were diluted.

Only Fang Dushu has a normal heart, if it is going to rain, Niang is going to get married, there is no way to stop it, even if it is inevitable for Xiaoyuan Temple to leave Hexi, there is no need to worry at all, because it will not help the battle situation in Hexi .

Fang Dushu has a lot of interest in the Guiling Ceremony.

The entire Dapan Peak is within the scope of the Lishan Taoist Temple.

The main building is located on the top of the peak and consists of two parts.

One is the meeting hall, and the other is Dapan Daochang.

The meeting hall is an exquisite attic, and there is a separate barrier in the building, which is specially provided for the patriarchs and elders to discuss important state affairs here.

Dapan Daochang is an outdoor square, which is used for preaching and preaching. If there are temporary buildings that need to be used, they are often temporary.

Today's Turtle Spirit Ceremony was presided over by several disciples of the lord Fu Yuan. They came to the Dapan Dojo early and opened four spirit pools in the dojo in advance.

Each spirit pond has a radius of one hundred feet, and the spirit energy in the pond is overflowing, and four spirit shadows of bell tripod, oracle bone, knotted rope and daolian form respectively in the sky above the pond.

When Fang Dushu and others rushed to the top of the mountain, dozens of monks at the Golden Core stage had already gathered around the four spirit ponds. They formed a group and were watching the four spirit figures with great interest.

Everyone is from the Hexi factions, and they have been fighting side by side for nearly ten years, and they are very familiar with each other.

Wait till you finish saying hello.

Fang Dushu also came to the vicinity of the spirit pool and looked up at the phantom formed by the condensed spiritual energy.

"What's the origin of these hallucinations?" Fang Dushu participated in the Guiling Ceremony for the first time, so he knew nothing about the arrangement here.

Hearing his question, Tie Ming and Master Zang Jianwen wanted to answer him, but suddenly a spirit guard guarding the Lingchi came over and introduced himself with a smile: "My dear Qiao Baimei, I have met Master Fang Wen."

Fang Dushu glanced at him, seeing that this man had a pair of white eyebrows, so he was named after this, very strange.

Fang Dushu didn't know his identity, so he replied casually: "Your Excellency is in charge of taking care of the puja, you should know the situation of these spirit pools well?"

Qiao Baimei said: "I am really familiar with it. No matter what questions Fang Wenshi has, you can ask them freely. Once I know something, I am willing to explain Fang Wenshi's doubts."

"Oh?"

Fang Dushu looked left and right: "This lord is really warm-hearted."

The faces of Tie Ming and Zang Jianwenshi beside him were a little embarrassed. They ignored Fang Dushu, but arched their hands and respectfully greeted Qiao Baimei.

Qiao Baimei waved his hands expressionlessly, as a return gift, then turned his attention to Fang Dushu again, and returned to his enthusiastic smile.

This behavior of the other party's unique courtesy not only puzzled Tie Ming and Master Zang Jianwen, but also the surrounding Golden Core Stage monks were extremely puzzled.

Fang Dushu didn't know Qiao Baimei, but they knew very well that he was a direct disciple of His Majesty the Lord, a local person from the Shangzong of Shenzhou, who had reached the golden core stage, and was the most powerful of the group of practitioners present. one of the people.

Qiao Baimei was present at the Guiling Ceremony in the past few times, and he didn't have a good look at anyone, but today the other party treats him differently, and his behavior is really abnormal.

In fact, none of them knew that this Guiling Ceremony was specially held for Fang Dushu.

Fang Dushu's "Two Ways of Manners" is very famous in Qinghe Shenzhou, Qiao Baimei and other disciples of the upper sect are all like thunder, after learning that Fang Dushu is a Taoist, it is not surprising that his attitude changed.

The key point is that Fu Yuan, the lord of the country, heard about the return of Taoists from "Two Instruments" to the city, and immediately had the idea of ​​inviting enlightened people, so he gave Qiao Baimei an order, and that's how today's Guiling Ceremony was held.

Qiao Baimei knew very well how much the ruler Fu Yuan valued Fang Dushu, so he took the initiative to talk to him.

Fang Dushu pointed to the spirit ponds, looked at them one by one, and then asked Qiao Baimei: "The illusion on the pond is a tripod, a armor, a rope, and a lotus in sequence, which coincides with the true text level of our monks' comprehension. Is there another mystery behind this arrangement?"

Qiao Baimei said: "The operation of these spirit pools is not a mystery, Fang Wenshi, listen to me carefully."

Fang Dushu raised his arm: "My lord, please tell me, I will listen with all my ears."

Qiao Baimei gave a succinct introduction: "These four spirit pools are actually illusions evolved according to your majesty's journey of enlightenment! When your majesty was practicing in the Xiaoyin Palace, he was inspired by a Taoist vessel left by a sage in the palace. The name of this vessel is For "Four Saints Awakening the Spirit", it is necessary to comprehend a method of bells and tripods, a method of oracle bones, a method of knotting a rope, and a method of water lotus, and then combine the four methods to achieve great success!"

Xiaoyin Palace is one of the top sects of the Five Sacred Mountains, and it is also the sect that the lord Fu Yuantou worshiped.

Fang Dushu showed his approval: "Only by combining the four methods can one become enlightened. It is very strange. How far has your majesty comprehended?"

"Master Fang Wen, please, I will explain to you one by one!" Qiao Baimei's every move was very polite, and the other party was unique to the point of respect.

In the Wuyue Shangzong, all the disciples dare not treat a genius like Fang Dushu who enlightened Dao slowly, even the highly cultivated Nascent Soul monks and Master Huashen masters will try to win him over.

The fact that Fang Dushu's epiphany "Tao of Two Instruments" topped the list of true demons proves that he has an extraordinary talent in the field of enlightenment that ordinary people cannot match. This kind of talent is extremely rare, and it is completely different from those fundamental talents.

A monk with a good root bone talent may be able to make great strides in his practice, and it is easy to break through the barriers and enter the advanced stage, but as long as he is enlightened, these monks will often encounter obstacles everywhere.

From ancient times to the present, cultivation geniuses are everywhere in the Five Sacred Sects, but enlightenment geniuses are rare.

The real great masters of Dao enlightenment, they can rely on their own strength to boost the combat power of the entire world of cultivating immortals, boost the strength of the entire world of cultivating immortals, and they can smash all the Taoism of ancient monks.

The so-called blue is better than blue because of blue, which refers to the genius of enlightenment, not the genius of cultivation.

These enlightened geniuses can not only comprehend their own unique Taoism, but also solve any enlightenment problems encountered by other monks, as long as they are in their hands, they can often be easily solved.

It is precisely because of such a practice in the world of cultivating immortals that Fu Yuan, the lord of the country, organized this turtle spirit ceremony. He has high hopes for Fang Dushu. The problem of enlightenment that has plagued him for the past few decades may be solved by Fang Dushu untie.

"Your Majesty has been comprehending the "Four Saints Awakening the Spirit" for hundreds of years. He has successively practiced the Zhongding Method, the Oracle Bone Method and the Daolian Method, but encountered obstacles in the knotting method!" Qiao Baimei said: "This rope knotting method and the It is related to the holy tortoise, and there are always loopholes in his perception, and it cannot be combined with the other three methods, "Four Saints Awakening the Spirit" cannot be completed, and he is not sure of impacting the transformation of the gods."
