64. Emperor Zi’s Fate (Please Read On)

The old Taoist priest held his whisk in his arms and spoke slowly.

The Taoism he practiced was also the path of corpse transformation.

Compared with the immortality of corpse transformation, the paths of heavenly immortality and earthly immortality are obviously better. However, human power is limited. He is just a foolish person, and was born in the end of the law, so he can only take this path...

"Corpse transformation?"

Xu Xing took a deep breath.

To be honest, he was not unfamiliar with the term "corpse transformation". Before coming to the Golden Immortal Temple, he had also read some Taoist scriptures and knew some introductions about corpse transformation.

Corpse transformation is the lowest level of immortality!

However..., those who can cultivate to become corpse transformation are not ordinary people.

For example, Bai Yuchan, one of the five famous ancestors of the Southern School of Taoism, practiced the water transformation method of corpse transformation.

He once wrote a poem: "On the day of corpse transformation at the age of ninety, people at that time still saw that he was a child."

It seems that the immortality of corpse transformation is a lower-level immortal, but not everyone can do it.

…

"I, the disciple, wish to learn the method of corpse transformation."

Xu Xing collected his mind, stopped thinking about other things, and bowed down peacefully.

He just had an opportunity to seek the method from Quanzhen Dao.

He was not a serious Quanzhen disciple, so he had no right to be picky here. Moreover, even if it was just a method of cultivating immortals by corpse transformation, it would be sought after by thousands of people in the outside world.

If the methods of cultivating heavenly immortals and earthly immortals were really put in front of him, it was not certain that he had the qualifications and roots to practice these two methods.

Whether it was being a person or cultivating Taoism, it was important to have self-knowledge.

Don't be too ambitious.

Master Mingcang said that he was a lowly person who could only cultivate immortals by corpse transformation, and he knew his own weight. It took Master Ma more than half a month to get into the "Rock Heart Method". If there was no one to guide the more difficult immortal methods, even if he had the superior methods, he would just be looking for fish in a tree, and he might not be able to get into it in his lifetime...

"You will be my registered disciple."

"I will teach you the method of corpse transformation."

Seeing that Xu Xing did not ask any more questions, the old Taoist nodded slightly and asked Xu Xing to kneel down and worship him as his master.

Although Quanzhen Dao and Guanxue have a common origin, the true teachings cannot be leaked.

He can only accept Xu Xing as his disciple.

"Quanzhen generation name..."

"It is 'Daode Tongxuanjing, Zhenchang Shoutaiqing, Yiyang Lai Fuben, Hejiao Yongyuanming, Zhili Zong Chengxin...', I am Ming generation name, the 20th generation of Quanzhen, Taoist name Mingcang, your secular name is Xu Xing, from now on... just call you Xu Zhixing..."

After Xu Xing knelt down to worship his master, the old Taoist pondered for a while and said.

"Zhi... Zhixing?"

Xu Xing was stunned for a moment, then a look of joy appeared on his face.

There is also a difference between registered disciples and registered disciples.

If one is not given a generation name, it means that he has not entered the Quanzhen sect. The Dharma that is given may be the real teaching, but it is very likely to be perfunctory. However, if one is given a generation name and enters the sect, the possibility of perfunctory teaching is much smaller.

"The Three Caverns Precepts says: 'If the Taoist scriptures are not taught by a master, then they will not work.'"

"Lu Zu also said: '... The teaching of the Quanzhen Dao requires the disciple to first understand the source of the Dao. The mysterious power cannot be described. The Dao cannot be described, that is, the mind and nature. Only faith can communicate with the gods. When the mind and nature are achieved, the magic of the magic will naturally be in the palm of your hand.

Not advocating magical powers and magic is for those who have not received orthodox master.

Be careful not to ignore the inheritance due to temporary selfish desires and greed for magic, thus destroying the fruit of Taoism and falling into the side door.

Those who seek Taoism must first enter the Xuanmen orthodox religion to listen to the teachings of the master. The mysterious magic and Taoism are taught by the master. My Quanzhen teaching does not advocate Taoism, so how can it deter the demons...'"

After leading Xu Xing into the wing room, the old Taoist began to teach.

The meaning of his words was very straightforward.

The Taoism will not work without the teacher's instruction.

Even if someone is lucky enough to get the Taoist method, but has no master, it is still just a side door and not a Xuanmen orthodox religion.

Hearing this, Xu Xing also suppressed a little bit of his thoughts.

Although he can only practice the corpse-reincarnation method, he also covets the celestial immortal method and the earthly immortal method. After all, when his qualifications are improved in the future, he may be able to switch to the celestial immortal method and the earthly immortal method.

But..., after hearing what Taoist Mingcang said, he didn't even dare to have the bad idea of ​​"snatching" the inheritance.

The inheritance can only be passed on by the master, and the inheritance snatched is just a fake inheritance and cannot be practiced.

In other words, worshipping Taoism is equivalent to the ancestor of the upper world giving the disciples of the lower world a permission to cultivate immortals, so that they can start cultivating immortals and enter the Xuanmen orthodox religion.

Without this permission, even if you get the method, it is just a mortal chapter...

Next.

Xu Xing bathed and changed clothes with the help of the Taoist fire worker of Jinxian Temple.

Fireworkers, in the old days, were called people who did odd jobs.

After bathing, he changed into a Quanzhen Taoist robe and followed Taoist Mingcang into the Sanqing Hall. Under the guidance of Taoist Mingcang, he performed a ritual with him and asked the ancestors of Quanzhen Taoism for instructions.

"You have condensed a new Emperor Purple Fate [Underground Lord]."

"May I ask if it is solidified with [Tao Fruit]?"

[Underground Lord (Purple): The third-class scattered ghosts in the underworld, the beginning of the corpse-transmigration immortals, without ghost records, without positions, and can be taught the teachings of the lower immortals and the great way after 140 years. ]

...

"Is this... the 'master' of Quanzhen Taoism?"

Xu Xing saw the words condensed on the mirror and fell into deep thought.

It was the same as what Taoist Mingcang said.

After the ritual, he was recognized by the ancestors of Quanzhen Taoism and was qualified to practice the corpse-transmigration immortals. The so-called Emperor Purple Fate [Underground Lord] is related to the "master" of Quanzhen Taoism.

Taoist priest Ming Cang asked his ancestors for instructions on the ritual and gave him the authority to practice the method of dismembering corpses.

"But... just one qualification for cultivating immortals has reached Emperor Zi..."

"this……"

Xu Xing was surprised.

The emperor's purple destiny is obviously equivalent to the emperor's destiny.

The Emperor's Purple Life Style [Underground Lord] is extraordinary and of immeasurable value.

But after he thought about it for a moment, he understood.

As powerful as Emperor Qin and Han Wu, he also struggled to pursue immortality and immortality in his later years. This qualification for cultivating immortals may seem unusual, but in fact it is extremely rare.

"Corpse solution includes fire solution, soldier solution, water solution, rod solution..."

"Which method would you like to practice?"

After the old Taoist priest finished offering the Dharma, he put the incense in his hand behind the incense burner, looked at it slowly and said gently.

Zhijiexian is also one of the great avenues.

There are various methods.

"Disciple... I haven't thought about it yet..."

"It's better to read some Taoist canon first and then give the master an answer."

After Xu Xing thought for a while, he replied.

Now that he has become a disciple of Taoist Master Mingcang and has obtained the qualification to practice the corpse-resolving immortal inheritance, he doesn't have to be too anxious about his practice. Don't be in a hurry these days.

"good!"

"One who clearly sees the nature of one's heart can be said to be a talented person."

The old Taoist priest stroked his beard and smiled, then nodded slowly.

Even though corpse dismemberment is a method practiced by stupid people, it does not mean that practicing corpse dismemberment method is not picky. Some people are suitable for fire decomposition, and some people are suitable for water decomposition... This is not necessarily true.
