The world of Taoism

Chapter 156 The Sutra of Serenity

Zhang Bo is dead.

Moreover, he died clearly and voluntarily returned to the illusory dreamland.

Perhaps in Zhang Bo's view, the real world is an illusion, and the world with family members is the real world.

outside world.

A plume of black smoke came out of the jade tablet, and when the sun shone, the ice and snow melted.

"Uncle Zhang can't come back anymore?" Zhou Xuan asked.

"I can't come back, he has fallen into a hallucination, and I don't know where he went, but what is certain is that he will never come back." The old ghost said.

After this incident, the old ghost has some insights.

Zhang Bo voluntarily gave up his career and entered into that extremely clumsy illusion.

Perhaps cultivation is not the only way, and being an ordinary person is also very exciting.

Rolling in the world of mortals, detached from the world of mortals is not a skill.

The most capable person is knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and he prefers to travel to the mountains.

If the old ghost is allowed to give up his current cultivation and return to the life of ordinary people, I am afraid that the old ghost will definitely not want to.

Of course, there was no turning back.

Once embarked on the road of cultivation, there are only two final destinations.

One is demon staining, and the other is cultivating to a certain level, and then being assimilated and being demon stained.

In the past, the old ghost did not know, but now with the deepening of cultivation, the old ghost knows that the end of cultivation is despair.

Man conquers nature is just a slogan.

How could a mortal body be able to defeat the vastness of the universe.

The universe has existed for an unknown number of years, and the entire human civilization is just a drop in the ocean compared to it.

Compared with civilization, individual human beings are a drop in the ocean, not even a speck of dust.

Hearing the old ghost's words, Zhou Xuan pondered for a long time.

Perhaps Zhang Bo is dead, or he may continue to live in that illusory world with his family.

Regardless of the future, Zhou Xuan and Zhang Bo are separated by yin and yang.

Zhou Xuan and Zhang Bo have cooperated for a long time, this person has a cold face and a warm heart, Zhou Xuan got along with him very harmoniously.

Before leaving, Zhou Xuan gave himself a big gift, which Zhou Xuan could not repay.

Zhang Bo's request is to visit the Zhang family's grave every year, which is a small problem.

"Okay, it's almost time for me to go back." The old ghost stood up.

"Thank you for the rescue, senior." Zhou Xuan said.

The old ghost shook his head, expressing that he didn't need to care, and then patted Zhou Xuan on the shoulder:

"The world is chaotic, and the demons are dancing. The Netherworld has begun to affect the human world again. In the future, there may be passages to the Netherworld. At that time, the world will be full of hell."

"Make more plans, accumulate more strength, and deal with the crisis." The old ghost meant a lot.

He didn't tell Zhou Xuan about Qiu Hao.

Zhou Xuan's current strength is weak, it's better not to tell, so as not to cause pressure.

Three years later, the old ghost retired, and it was Qiu Hao and Zhou Xuan's business.

After this period of exploration, the old ghost probably understood what he was guarding.

With an evil and powerful aura, I am afraid that apart from the Netherworld, there is no evil that can compare to them.

Maybe it's the passage of the netherworld.

The passages of the underworld are invisible, and there is no relevant record in history.

Maybe it's just an ordinary channel, maybe it's just a concept.

"Understood!" Zhou Xuan said solemnly.

"Okay! See you later!" The old ghost nodded and disappeared in place.

The old ghost did not let Zhou Xuan escape.

Zhou Xuan is the blood of the Zhou family, no matter how far he runs, the mysterious Netherworld will definitely catch up with Zhou Xuan.

No matter what the ending is, Zhou Xuan can't escape his fate, so it's better to face it calmly and still have a chance.

After the old ghost left, Zhou Xuan quietly sat on the chair, looking a little lonely.

Although the Zhou family looked lively, there was still something missing after all.

Zhou Xuan seemed out of tune with this world. After all, he was an outsider and had no sense of belonging.

"In the future, how should we go in the future..." Zhou Xuan thought to himself, pacing slowly in the hall.

After this catastrophe, almost all the people in Jingtian Division of Jiangnan County died.

The three high-level officials all died in the hands of Zhou Xuan, what a twist of fate.

It is impossible for these three high-level officials to be lonely, and there must be good forces behind them.

Although it is said that death is like a lamp being extinguished, we must guard against these forces coming to disturb us.

Jing Tiansi is only a small part of the practitioner's world.

It does not mean that all practitioners are here.

The people who hold positions in Jing Tiansi are either the children of big families, or wandering casual cultivators who are lonely and widowed.

Lian Hongyu himself has not come into contact with the family hierarchy, what Zhou Xuan sees now is just the tip of the iceberg.

Zhou Xuan was just standing in front of the curtain of the entire cultivator's world, which hadn't been opened yet.

This time all the high-level groups were wiped out. If there were no accidents, Zhou Xuan would fill the position of the high-level people and possibly enter the world of real cultivators.

However, when things came to an end, Zhou Xuan hesitated.

Jing Tiansi could only be cut because of the large number, so most of the grassroots were outsourced, which also gave Zhou Xuan and others a lot of freedom.

Of course, the government is not a fool, and there will definitely be restrictions on ascending to the top.

Everyone has everyone's secrets, and the imperial court will definitely not take the initiative to ask them, but must learn about them secretly.

Although other aristocratic families are mysterious, there are traces to follow.

But Zhou Xuan's secret did not dare to be discovered by others.

The speed of Zhou Xuan's cultivation was really too fast.

In the past, the strength was low, and people didn't notice it.

Now it is estimated that some people have noticed their own cultivation speed.

Although Zhou Xuan released the news that the old ghost was his master, it was inevitable that some people who owed him came forward to provoke him.

"Forget it, let's talk about the unique skills first."

He couldn't figure it out for a while, so Zhou Xuan simply didn't think about it.

At the speed of the imperial court, it took at least a month or two for news to come.

Don't rush this moment.

……

In a gloomy house, the sun shines in through the gaps in the windows, forming several golden beams of light.

A man was sitting on a futon with his eyes closed, with a big static letter hanging behind him.

After being busy for so many days, I finally had the opportunity to calm down and feel the knowledge gained in my mind.

The new scripture is called "Taishang Laojun often said Qingjing Jing", referred to as Qingjing Jing.

In my mind, the sky is still dark, unchanged from ancient times, and still so deep.

Zhou Xuan's soul sat under the bridge, motionless.

Suddenly, the soul opened its eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in them.

Whoa!

A golden light came from the sky, and the golden light was composed of golden scriptures.

"The husband and the Tao: there is clearness and turbidity, there is movement and stillness; the sky is clear and the earth is turbid, the sky is moving and the earth is still..."

This sentence is in line with the way of heaven in this world.

The way of heaven cannot be positive because there is light and there must be darkness.

And mortals can't see through the mysteries of the way of heaven, so the magic dye was born.

This is Zhou Xuan's guess, and perhaps the reality is the same.

The key point of the Qingjing Sutra is the word "pureness". To obtain "pureness", one must "dispel one's desires and quiet one's mind, clear one's heart and clear one's mind.

Reaching this stage does not mean that it is the final stage, and there will be the final "eternal tranquility" after that, so that you can have nothing outside your mind.

Zhou Xuan had a vague premonition that once he entered the realm of "eternal tranquility".

Then Zhou Xuan will be difficult to be disturbed by the magic dye, which may be the key to breaking through the bardo stage.

The bardo stage is a very dangerous state. In this state, the probability of demon contamination is ten times, or even dozens of times, that of normal.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xuan calmly comprehended the newly acquired scriptures.

Although the real content is only a few hundred words, it contains a lot of information and specific cultivation steps.

These are not specific cultivation techniques, they are far more concise than cultivation techniques.

It takes the accumulated comprehension of the sun and the moon to truly see the true meaning of the Dao.

The days are still long, Zhou Xuan is not in a hurry.

……

A day later, the Zhou family.

Zhou Xuan had two small booklets in his hand.

The thread on the top has turned yellow and peeled off, and several large characters can be vaguely seen: The secret training of corpses is really necessary.

Another booklet is called The Art of Physical Immortalization.

The booklets are so thin that the two together are less than the width of your little finger.

This thickness surprised Zhou Xuan a little.

"There are so many catalogs alone?" Zhou Xuan asked in surprise.

There is also a wooden box under Zhou Xuan's feet, which is covered with mud, and what is inside is the real content.

Zhou Xuan took a quick look and found that there were more than 20 books.

It includes drawing talismans to practice corpses, the method of making corpse training instruments, and some related precautions.

Practicing corpses is not just about burying the corpse in the soil and waiting for it to take root, germinate, bloom and bear fruit.

The practice method of each corpse is different according to the birth date.
And there are very strict requirements on the place of burial and the time of descent.

Zombies don't eat or drink, and need to consume a lot of incense candles during this period.

Zombies can eat human blood, but these are evil ways.

The right way only needs incense candles.

These things are enough for Zhou Xuan to study for a while.

"interesting…"
