Chapter 157
If it hadn't been for the disaster, I should have returned here this summer to tidy up.
Now that I haven't been back for half a year, the Taoist temple looks extremely dilapidated, with thick dust and fallen leaves everywhere.
Although he was in a hurry to come back before, after he actually came back, Wei Xuan became much more calm and peaceful, and was not as anxious as before.
Clean the fallen leaves in the yard and the dust in the temple, light the candles in front of the statues, take a bath and change into the Taoist robes that you left in the Taoist temple, then pick up the incense and respectfully place the memorial tablets of the ancestors and masters. Kowtow in front of you.
When he was doing these actions, in the past, Bai Di would have just landed on the divine case, blinked and stared at himself curiously, and then focused on the tributes on the divine case.
But at this moment, Bai Di imitated Wei Xuan's example, spreading his wings and crawling on the ground, kowtowing along with Wei Xuan little by little.
Wei Xuan couldn't help but feel funny when he saw it like this, so he sat up, looked at Bai Di, and said, "Well, since you are so sincere, I will decide to accept you as my disciple. What do you think?"
Wei Xuan's original intention was just to play around with Bai Emperor, but he completely underestimated Bai Emperor's intelligence.
This little bird had lived with him all year round and had some spirituality. Now after being transformed into a demon, its spiritual intelligence was far beyond that of ordinary creatures.
Although Wei Xuan just said it casually as a joke, Bai Di was so blessed that he actually knelt on the ground in front of Wei Xuan and nodded his head a few times.
Wei Xuan couldn't help but open his mouth, marveling at Bai Di's performance.
But now that everything has been said, and Emperor Bai has kowtowed, in front of the Patriarch's throne, Wei Xuan can't go back and shirk anymore.
"Since you want to become a disciple, let me introduce you to the inheritance of our lineage~~"
Although it was a bit weird to accept a bird as a disciple, Wei Xuan did not let it fool him. Instead, he seriously began to teach the sect from the beginning, and really taught Bai Di as his disciple.
Wei Xuan actually had his own considerations in doing this.
Since I was already close to Bai Di, it was natural for me to accept him as my disciple.
Secondly, since Bai Di has embarked on the road of demonization, no one knows what his future achievements will be. Wei Xuan also hopes to take this opportunity to educate him in advance.
"Since I accept you as my disciple, I have to give you something as a greeting gift. What should I give you?"
Wei Xuan began to think about it. He didn't seem to have anything suitable for Bai Di. Was it a blood diamond?
Wei Xuan gave Bai Di two pills, but he swallowed them like beans, as if that was all.
Then he suddenly thought that the one-eyed dragon was coveting the chaos energy in his body. Could it be that his own chaos energy was also good for Bai Di?
Wei Xuan decided to give it a try, so he summoned Bai Di to his side, put his hand on it, and tried to input some chaotic energy.
Feeling other energy entering the body, Bai Di was slightly startled at first, but then a look of surprise appeared in his smart eyes, and he took the initiative to move closer to Wei Xuan, with his head pressed against Wei Xuan's body.
All things have spirituality, especially these animals, which have innate instincts and know what is good for them.
Seeing Bai Di like this, Wei Xuan knew that the energy of chaos was indeed helpful to monsters.
Although the one-eyed dragon is special and is a legendary dragon, strictly speaking, it is also a monster.
Perhaps in ancient times, there were creatures like dragons, but they disappeared later for unknown reasons.
When Wei Xuan followed his master to learn about the heavenly stems and earthly branches, he once thought about a problem. The twelve earthly branches, that is, all the creatures in the zodiac, are real, but only one earthly branch, Chenlong, exists in real life. You can't see it, which is very strange.
After all, this was his apprentice, so Wei Xuan did not just input the energy of chaos, but consciously guided the energy of chaos to run in Bai Di's body.
Wei Xuan didn't know how animals practiced cultivation, but Wei Xuan knew that any living thing must follow the most basic laws. Only when Qi circulates in the body can it live and grow endlessly.
After all, Bai Di is a bird. Different from humans, Wei Xuan carefully probes its own qi movement, and then guides the chaotic energy to follow its own qi movement rules.
"You have to remember, if you want to become stronger, you need to practice diligently and use the energy in your body!"
Wei Xuan spent a day and a night to help Bai Di open up the circulation of heaven and earth in his body, and then he was afraid that it would slack off, so he gave special instructions.
However, through this incident, Wei Xuan somewhat understood why those monsters in the legend, if they want to achieve enlightenment, must first cultivate into human form, because practicing in animal form is really too complicated and difficult.
Of course, these are just ordinary animals. As for special species like the Cyclops, Wei Xuan guessed that they might not be included.
Just like in some novels, bloodline, holy body, and divine body are often written about. This actually makes sense. Innate factors such as bloodline and physical fitness do have a great influence on the day after tomorrow.
What others already possess may require you to spend a lifetime of energy pursuing!
Wei Xuan didn't know how far Bai Di could go, but he hoped that it could go higher and further.
"As a heterogeneous person, I don't know exactly how to practice. I can only give you a path. You have to explore it yourself. When I started, my master used the Tao Te Ching to guide you. "For my enlightenment, since you have entered my Shangqingguan sect today, I will enlighten you with a Taoist scripture according to the teachings passed down from my master."
"It's just that today is different from the past. In today's general environment, all things are struggling to survive, and the "Tao Te Ching" is no longer suitable. I named you Baidi before, maybe it is fate. Baidi is the west, gold, and the Lord. If you are filled with chilling energy, then I will enlighten you with the "Yellow Emperor's Yin Fu Jing"! Just listen carefully~"
"The way to observe the sky, the way to hold the sky~~The sky sends murderous intentions, and the stars move to change places. The earth sends murderous intentions, dragons and snakes rise from the land~"
Ordinary people may know the "Tao Te Ching" but not the "Huang Di Yin Fu Jing", but only those who have actually read the "Huang Di Yin Fu Jing" will know the wonder and greatness of this scripture. It is impossible to say that it is a classic of heaven and earth. Not an exaggeration.
The scripture covers the three realms of heaven, earth and man, with just over 400 words. Each word is the essence, so some people regard the "Huangdi Yin Fu Jing" and the "Tao Te Ching" as the twin walls of Taoism.
But in Wei Xuan's view, although it also expounds the Tao, the Tao Te Ching focuses more on the foundation of Tao and pursues the metaphysical, while the "Huangdi Yin Fu Jing" is metaphysical, like top-down guidance, and more Like the general outline of the three realms of heaven, earth and man, as for what kind of understanding and interpretation you will have after contact, it depends on your personal practice and understanding.
Wei Xuan didn't know whether Bai Di could understand it, and he didn't even dare to think that it would understand it. However, since he accepted him as his disciple, Wei Xuan still taught him with all his heart and taught him scriptures and insights.
This lecture lasted another day and night, and Bai Di lay there as if asleep.
Wei Xuan didn't bother to wake it up. He turned around and entered the room and started packing his things.
What Taoism emphasizes is nature~~
