Volume 2: The Great Tribulation of the Lich Chapter 275: The Ancestor's Lives and Three Talks on the Great Dao
"In that case, then..."
Taoist Taihua thought for a moment, made up his mind, and waved his hand to summon the plain cloud flag.
The brave will die of overeating, and the timid will die of starvation.
It's nothing more than consuming some luck and merit, but she has accumulated a lot of it over the years!
She then called upon twenty-one female fairies at the peak of the Taiyi realm and unfurled the Cloud Realm Flag. Countless miraculous phenomena appeared between heaven and earth, and auspicious mists filled the air; mists rose in the void, and all the skies were bright!
Under the infusion of majestic luck, twenty-one female fairies ascended to the realm of "Daluo". Together with Xuannv and others, there were exactly thirty-six people.
"Great kindness!"
Mingyu saw this and praised it endlessly.
Just like that, Taihua Zhenren and Mingyu led the seventy-two Daluo Jinxians and entered the time and space channel in a mighty manner, heading straight for the Zixiao Palace.
As soon as they arrived at Zixiao Palace, they ran into a bunch of old guys.
There are the Taoist Xiaoyao, the clone of Kunpeng, the Golden Swordsman, the clone of the White Tiger Guard God, the Aunt Qing, the clone of the Lingguang God, and the clones of the Zhiming God and the Mengzhang God.
He also saw Prime Minister Turtle, Lady Bixia, Mother of Lishan, Patriarch Panwang, Patriarch Jiuchen, Patriarch Wuya, Taoist Master Lei Ting, and so on.
Apparently they also left some energy in Zixiao Palace, so they came early.
"Sure enough, these old guys are surprisingly cunning." Mingyu complained.
"Taihua, what are you doing?"
Xiaoyao and others were a little confused when they saw that she was led by seventy-two Golden Immortals.
Most of these Golden Immortals are probably fakes, so why bring them here?
Taihua Zhenren glanced at the last gray-robed Taoist among the ancestors and frowned slightly. But in the end, he did n't say anything, just said: "Before, the witches, demons, and immortals, the three parties fought endlessly, and the last time, the three thousand mortals died and injured countless people. This vacant position must be filled by a new person to complete the number of three thousand great ways."
The eyelids of the ancestors jumped, and they suddenly woke up, exclaiming in their hearts that Yao Chi was very cunning.
Then……
"Well, I remembered that the door of my cave was not closed, so I went to close it."
"Oh, where is my protective magic treasure? Where is my protective magic treasure? How can I attain enlightenment without it?"
"My dear ancestor, I love cleanliness the most. I seem to have remembered that I forgot to clean the courtyard. Fellow Taoists, please go in first. I will be back soon!"
"My fellow Taoists, this outfit doesn't seem to be suitable for me. I need to go back to my cave and change."
Having said that, the ancestors turned around and prepared to leave. They also had a large number of disciples!
In Zixiao Palace, Taoist Hongjun, who was sitting on a high platform, twitched his eyes.
Can't they just calm down? Why are there new things happening?
Daozu glanced at Mingyu who was hiding behind Taihua, not knowing what to say.
Shaking his head, he spread out his palm, pressed it down, and then retracted it.
Outside Zixiao Palace, dozens of old ancestors paused, their hearts trembling violently.
Taoist Xiaoyao coughed lightly and said, "I just recalled that the door of my cave should be closed."
Patriarch Jiuchen felt in his sleeves, took out something, and said , "My baby, so you are here."
The old ancestor Pan Wang smiled and said, "I probably became confused because of my cultivation. The old ancestor doesn't have a courtyard at all."
Zhiming Shenjun stroked his mustache and reached out to wipe his robe. The black robe was immediately replaced by black gold armor. He said, "I just remembered that I know a few tricks of transformation."
Mingyu watched all these scenes and couldn't help laughing.
The Golden Swordsman cleared his throat and said, "Forget it, forget it. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. We old guys should stop worrying about this. Let's go in quickly and don't let the later ones laugh at us."
After saying this, he was the first to step into the Zixiao Palace.
"You are right, fellow Taoist!" Taoist Xiaoyao followed closely behind and went in.
So, one by one the ancestors finally entered the Zixiao Palace.
However, it was not known whether it was due to the tacit understanding among the ancestors or whether they did it on purpose, but dozens of ancestors sat upright in the last row.
Taoist Taihua chuckled, brought the seventy-two Golden Immortals to pay their respects to Daozu, and then took their seats.
It’s just that these youngsters were sitting in the front, and the eyes of the ancestors looked over there intentionally or unintentionally, making them feel uneasy!
Mingyu was not in a hurry to go in. He was waiting for Nuwa and Fuxi, and chatting happily with Haotian and Yao Ji.
Of course, Mingyu and Haotian pretended not to know each other.
"Mingyu, you're here so soon?"
The first to come were the Three Pure Ones.
Mingyu hurriedly greeted them, "Greetings to the three uncles."
Tai Shang stroked his beard and nodded, Yuan Shi nodded slightly, Tong Tian shook his head and smiled faintly, "Are you waiting for Junior Sister?"
"Master, you have a keen eye. Nothing can be hidden from you."
Mingyu's words made Tongtian roll his eyes. He said unhappily, "Alright, alright, just wait, we'll go in first. Junior Sister brought quite a few people this time, could it be your trick?"
"That's not true, Third Uncle, please don't accuse me." Mingyu complained.
In response, Tongtian just smiled and said nothing.
When the Three Pure Ones entered the hall, the first people they saw were the ancestors sitting in the last row. Their invisible aura made Taishang even raise his eyebrows.
Yuanshi stared at a Taoist priest in a gray robe and frowned several times.
"Second brother, we haven't greeted the teacher yet." Tongtian pulled Yuanshi's sleeve.
Yuanshi then withdrew his gaze and saluted Hongjun.
After the three of them took their seats, red clouds surged outside the Zixiao Palace and golden light appeared.
Nuwa and Fuxi arrived with the little phoenix, two dragon girls, and twelve "Daluo Jinxians".
Jie Yin Zhunti also brought two disciples, Maitreya and Medicine Master.
"Come in."
Nuwa saw Mingyu waiting at the door and smiled.
"good!"
Mingyu nodded suddenly.
After everyone took their seats, divine beings such as Dijun, Taiyi, Zhenyuan, Hongyun, Houtu and others also arrived one after another.
The three thousand seats were full, the Zixiao Gate was closed, and the Taoist began to lecture.
"The way of heaven is like drawing a bow! The high ones are suppressed, the low ones are raised; the excess ones are reduced, the deficiency ones are supplemented. The way of heaven is to reduce the excess and supplement the deficiency..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, all the powerful people were shocked and the ancestor was ecstatic.
The first lecture talked about the origin and evolution of the Tao; the second lecture was about the continuation of the Tao, the method of Hun Yuan; this time, he directly talked about the ultimate principle of heaven and earth, the Wuji Dao? !
"The Tao is always nameless. Although it is simple and small, no one in the world can be its servant. If all spirits can keep it, all things will be its guests. When heaven and earth come together, they rain down sweet dew. All living things are in balance without being ordered. When it was first created, it was named. It has a name, so it should know when to stop. Knowing when to stop can keep one from danger. The Tao in the world is like a river or valley to the sea..."
"The sage has no fixed mind, but takes the mind of all living beings as his own. He treats the good with kindness, and the bad with kindness as well. This is virtue. He trusts the trustworthy, and the untrustworthy. This is virtue. The sage is humble and modest in the world, and his mind is pure for the world. All living beings pay attention to him, and the sage treats them as children."
"The Great Way can be controlled. All things rely on it for life without complaining. It accomplishes its mission without claiming ownership. It clothes and nourishes all things without being their master. It is always without desire, so it can be called small. All things return to it without being their master, so it can be called great. Because it does not consider itself great in the end, it can achieve greatness..."
This sermon was concise and progressive.
Hongjun spoke word by word, very slowly; everyone took down word by word, very carefully and painstakingly.
Because this time we are talking about the Hunyuan Dao, the Wuji Dao, and the Saint Dao!
The magnificent avenue, the clear truth, the infinite primordial chaos, the sacred heart of heaven and earth.
Taoist Hongjun told all of this without reservation.
The Tao has no name, and the Tao is difficult to name.
This is a sentence that everyone who has attained enlightenment knows.
But now, Hongjun expressed all of this clearly and plainly in words.
Since the beginning of the world, from ancient times to the present, there has only been this one!
