Yinshan Record

Chapter 88 The Yellow Heaven Dao Lineage
In the main hall, Yu Lizi, dressed in a light blue robe, was flipping through a book.

At first glance, he looks more like a diligent scholar than a virtuous person who has achieved spiritual cultivation.

However, in the void around this person, there were specks of blue lotus that constantly bloomed and faded, their fragrance filling the entire room.

He heard Su Che's footsteps and turned to look.

"You came?"

"Disciple pays respects to his revered master."

Su Che didn't hesitate and immediately bowed deeply, as if a mountain of gold and a jade pillar had been overturned.

"You've mastered the 'Secret Manual of the Yin Heaven of King Zhou' quite well."

Yu Lizi was genuinely moved by Su Che's progress.

In fact, according to his original intention, he could have chosen to accept Su Che as a disciple or not.

It's acceptable to accept him as a disciple by chance, and to pass on a few cultivation methods to him. It would be a way of settling old scores.

However, it is not advisable to accept him. Firstly, Su Che is not born with the Dao seed, and secondly, the Su family has few members. It would be unreasonable to take another one to learn the Dao from him.

Therefore, Yu Lizi passed on the "Secret Record of the Yin Heaven of Zhou Jue" to Su Che.

This technique was indeed tailored to Su Che, who was severely injured at the time. The Ghost Dao method works on the soul, without requiring him to expend energy to damage his broken body.

But to say that he could cultivate thirty-six talismans is definitely out of the question.

The speed of cultivation of the "Zhou Jue Yin Tian Secret Manual" is determined not by talent or aptitude, but by external forces.

To practice this method, one needs to draw upon the power of the moonlight.

The moon waxes and wanes, but its radiance is finite.

The "Secret Manual of the Yin Heaven of King Zhou" possesses extraordinary and profound magical powers, but one must proceed step by step to master it.

Just as Su Che entered, Yu Lizi had already looked him over. This Third Young Master Su had already mastered the Thirty-Six Yin Heavenly Talismans, which secretly corresponded to the number of the Heavenly Gang, and he had reached the pinnacle of self-cultivation without a teacher.

To advance further in spiritual practice, one must either explore on their own or receive guidance from a renowned teacher.

"Now that you have mastered the thirty-six magic talismans, you will become my personal disciple." Yu Lizi looked at Su Che and said, "These past few days have been busy, so I will accept you as my disciple today. I will inform the six instructors later and have you accepted into my fold. Get up."

With a slight lift from Yu Lizi, Su Che was able to stand up from the ground.

"Master, has your arrival been for the matter of Xuan Mountain?"

"Yes, I came to Shanyin County for two reasons: first, to see you, and second, for this ancient Buddha."

Yu Lizi looked at Su Che. Now that he was under her wing, she could speak frankly with him about some things.

“At the end of the previous dynasty, a Buddha with the Lion and Blue Lotus came to the Central Plains to spread the Dharma. At that time, there was much discussion in the world. I once asked my master, how should we respond when this great man who entered Buddhism from Taoism comes to the Central Plains again?”

“My master asked me if Buddhism had anything to do with me. I thought about it and said it had nothing to do with me. Your grandmaster said, ‘Since it has nothing to do with me, then let it be. The Great Path is within me, why ask about the side paths?’”

Su Che suddenly realized that his thoughts were somewhat shallow. This shallowness stemmed from the fact that he was not a master after all, lacking the magnanimity of someone like the former leader of Huangtiandao or Yu Lizi today.

"In fact, when the Lion and the Lotus came to the Central Plains, all the Taoist sects, with Xuandu Palace as the leader, were happy to see it happen. After such a long period of silence, it would be great to attract a live fish."

"We thought he came to do the fundamental Buddhist practice of spreading the Dharma and benefiting all beings, but we did not expect that he had already fallen into a deep demonic state. All he did before and after was to transcend this world and ascend to the outer realm to become a heretical demon."

Good guy.

Su Che only understood after confirming the news with Yu Lizi.

First a demon, then a righteous one, then a Buddha, and finally a demon again.

The old lion has studied almost every method that can be called a Dharma in this world.

"By the time we came to our senses, he had already passed away in Shanyin County. We didn't pay much attention to it at the time. After all, it's not unusual for a third-rank person to fall into demonic possession, especially someone like him whose foundation was unstable and who had changed sects several times."

The foundation of the Way, the basis for attaining the Way.

Su Che kept those two words firmly in his heart.

The old lion changed his path of cultivation several times back then because his foundation was unstable. That's the reason.

It is precisely because of its unstable foundation that it has to change allegiances repeatedly. If its foundation were solid, it would probably have already achieved great success in one step, so why bother with so much hard work?
"Later, some disciples in the sect investigated several times and roughly figured out the situation before and after. It was nothing more than that he had created a demonic thought before his death and was preparing to do it again many years later."

"In the end, it was decided that my sect and Ling Su Zhenren of Shenxiao Dao would handle the aftermath of this matter. The reason we didn't make trouble before was mainly because the Lion Green Lotus Tathagata had made a meticulous plan back then. If we moved one part, it would affect the whole situation. Rather than messing around and letting him turn his plan from the light to the dark, it would be better to wait until the time was right and then eliminate the root of the problem."

Yu Lizi spoke with such ease, but Su Che's heart was filled with turmoil.

The old lion set up his scheme at the end of the previous dynasty. Over the years, the major Taoist sects have investigated his plans one by one and made many backup plans.

This event spanned hundreds of years. The old lion started his scheme at the end of the previous dynasty, and when it finally came to fruition, to put it bluntly, the Great Liang Dynasty was also nearing its end.

The biggest difference between immortals and mortals is probably time.

"Master, I have acquired a few things recently and would like to ask you to take a look at them."

Su Che felt that he should share some key information with Yu Lizi.

After all, Huang Tiandao and this teacher are his greatest support at present.

"To be able to cultivate the Thirty-Six Paths of the Zhou Absolute Yin Heaven Secret Manual, one must have had some extraordinary encounter."

Yu Lizi said sincerely.

Let alone achieving the first-grade Earth Immortal cultivation level in the Daoist sect and gazing upon the scenery at the pinnacle of the Great Dao, even those who achieve the third or fourth grade cultivation level are all chosen ones who have encountered countless fortuitous events.

Su Che quickly took out the trinkets he had acquired after arriving in Shanyin County.

It is suspected to be the Qingdi Wine Cup of the ancient Qingdi Lingweiyang.

One page from the Old Lion's Nine Pages Golden Book.

There is also Kongkong'er's handwritten letter obtained from an ancient tomb.

Yu Lizi looked at the three items in front of her, but a smile played on her lips.

That's incredibly lucky.

He first raised the Azure Emperor's Wine Cup, looked at the ancient-looking wine vessel, then turned the page of the golden book, and exhaled a sigh of relief.

Finally, he picked up the handwritten letter from Kongkong'er, glanced at it, and finally smiled.

"Tell me about this first. Where did you get it from?"

Yu Lizi pointed to the silk scroll that read, "You're late."

“I have also investigated the changes at Xuan Mountain and found this handwritten letter in a large tomb outside Xuan Mountain.”

"This Kongkong'er is a third-rank swordsman in the East China Sea, and the Supreme Elder of the Lihe Pavilion. This handwritten note should be his playful work, containing a method for practicing pure sword intent."

Yu Lizi set the handwritten letter aside.

"If this thing were sold in the East China Sea, it would probably cause quite a stir."

Yu Lizi poured his powerful magic into that page of the golden book, and the golden book immediately shone brightly, stirring up specks of blue light. Blue characters appeared in the blue light, and various wonderful sounds immediately filled his ears, causing Su Che to immediately convert to Buddhism.

If it weren't for the wisp of the true meaning of the "Future Star Tribulation Scripture" in his mind, Su Che would have almost not been kneeling before his master to receive the magical and profound blue scripture.

"The Buddhist 'Moonlight Fundamental Perfect Enlightenment Lapis Lazuli Method' is considered a wonderful method within Buddhism for exploring the changes of Yin and Yang, birth and death. When practiced to a high level, it can open up the void and evolve the Moonlight Lapis Lazuli World."

Yu Lizi couldn't help but sigh, "That Green Lion really had some clever tricks back then. I was wondering how he could use nine pages of golden book to receive a wisp of the true meaning of the supreme Buddhist classic. It turns out he used the nine supreme supernatural powers of Buddhism as a starting point. What a clever idea."

Yu Lizi set the page of the golden book aside, and the scattered blue light dissipated.

"Did this item also come from that large tomb in Niushou Mountain?"

"Reporting to my master, that is indeed the case. In addition, I have also obtained a wisp of the true meaning of the 'Future Star Constellation Tribulation Scripture'."

Yu Lizi remained silent for a moment before suddenly asking a question.

“My disciple, why don’t you shave your head and go to the west to train for a few years? Once you reach the third rank, you can come back and acknowledge your ancestors. What do you say?”
