The Golden Elixir Road

Chapter 27: The Book of Explanation of the Scriptures Re-transmits Supernatural Powers

"Qingci, you can recite these two scriptures more often in your daily life. It will be good for you." Wang Zizai handed Yan Qingci two scriptures and said.

Yan Qingci took it and took a look. There was a copy of "Tao Te Ching" and a copy of "Yin Fu Jing".

"Yes, Master." Yan Qingci answered obediently.

These are all the books Wang Zizai had read before he traveled through time. Before he traveled through time, Wang Zizai had loved practicing Buddhism, but unfortunately he did not find a good teacher. He just read many scriptures on his own.

As his cultivation entered the Golden Core Realm, his previous memories gradually became clearer, and he had the ability to remember everything he saw.

Now that I have embarked on the path of spiritual practice and looking back, the five thousand words of Tao Te Ching and the three hundred words of Yin Fu are truly the root of the great way and make us reflect.

In addition to his practice, Wang Zizai also wrote down all the Taoist and Buddhist scriptures he had read.

However, these scriptures should exist in the world of Shrouding the Heavens. After all, Laozi and Sakyamuni both have them. But for some reason they are only quasi-emperors, and these two are nowhere to be seen in the Holy Ruins era.

These two are big guys who exist in all the heavens and worlds. Wang Zizai doesn't believe that they will die. Even the golden elixir method that Wang Zizai practiced was passed down by Laozi in the real world.

"These two scriptures are obscure and difficult to understand. I will explain them to you briefly today, but remember, what I say is only my understanding. You should not get caught up in my point of view. The great Dao is all-encompassing, and what each person realizes is just a glimpse of the whole picture." Wang Zizai said.

Then Yan Qingci recited a sentence and Wang Zizai explained it, starting with "Yin Fu Jing".

Wang Zizai said: "Yin Fu means secretly in harmony, which means secretly in harmony with the Great Dao."

Yan Qingci thought: "Observe the way of heaven, follow the way of heaven, and that's it."

Wang Zizai explained: "The way of life and death is the way of heaven. The way of heaven is the way of yin and yang. Those who practice Taoism can understand the mystery of the way of heaven, and the gods can operate silently, steal the energy of yin and yang, and seize the power of creation. They can live forever and have no birth or death. However, the most important thing is to be able to observe and hold on."

"What is observation? To study things and acquire knowledge is observation, to study deeply is observation, to know with the heart and understand with the spirit is observation, to reflect on oneself is observation, to be open and honest is observation; what is persistence is persistence? To be single-minded is persistence, to practice is persistence, to be more and more powerful as time goes by is persistence, to be neither too much nor too little is persistence, to be consistent is persistence."

"Observing the Way of Heaven, the achievement of non-action, is a sudden enlightenment, so that one can understand nature; adhering to the Way of Heaven, the study of action, is gradual cultivation, so that one can understand destiny. Being able to observe and adhere, using the Way of Yin and Yang to escape from Yin and Yang, following the worldly law to leave the world, one can understand both nature and destiny, forget both mind and law, transcend heaven and earth, and live forever."

"These two sentences alone are the ladder to immortality and the great path to becoming a saint or a sage. Anything else is a side path, a heresy, and obscene words, so I say that this is the end."

It took Wang Zizai half an hour to finish his lecture on the Yin Fu Jing. Because he did not deliberately avoid others, halfway through, Xuanwu Supreme, Gai Jiuyou, Ye Fan, Heihuang, and the four sons of the Supremes of the Forbidden Zone who chose to stay in the Immortal Mountain all came to listen to the lecture, and Wang Zizai did not drive them away.

"Who wrote this? It is so profound and meaningful. Although it does not record any magical powers or secret methods, it points out the direction for becoming an immortal. Just over 300 words can be regarded as a guideline for spiritual practice." Xuanwu Supreme said with emotion after hearing this.

"You should know Ye Fan, right?" Wang Zizai asked.

"I have read the Yin Fu Jing and Daode Jing on Earth. It is said that they were passed down by Emperor Huangdi and Laozi, and ordinary people can obtain them. However, I have never heard anyone explain it this way."

Ye Fan had just entered the Four Poles, and he had seen it before, so his feelings were not as deep as those of Xuanwu Supreme and Gai Jiuyou.

"Are Emperor Xuanyuan and Laozi immortals?" asked the Supreme Xuanwu. Although he has not read the Tao Te Ching yet, it is probably unusual that it can be compared with the Yin Fu Jing.

“No, he’s just a quasi-emperor. Moreover, he cultivated to the quasi-emperor through the spiritual communication between the Void Emperor and the emperor corpse of the Lord of Morality.” Wang Zizai said.

"How is it possible?" Xuanwu Supreme couldn't believe it. According to these two scriptures, they were immortals, so Xuanwu Supreme believed it.

"That's what I'm wondering about." Wang Zi was puzzled. "Is the Laozi you're talking about a white-haired old man riding a green bull?" Gai Jiuyou suddenly asked.

"Yes, this is the image that is circulated in the world. Have you seen it, Senior?" Wang Zizai said affirmatively.

"We met once, but it was just a quick glance and we weren't able to have a detailed conversation." Gai Jiuyou said with some regret.

Then he continued, "At that time, I only thought that he was just an ordinary person among the Quasi-Emperors, and his strength was probably not as good as mine. Now that you have enlightened me, I realize that I was just looking at the world from a narrow perspective."

"I think it's because that person deliberately blends in with the light. With his ability, if he doesn't want to attract attention, I'm afraid no one would find out." Wang Zizai said.

What is the relationship between this world's Laozi, Xuanyuan, Lingbao Tianzun, Sakyamuni, etc. and these people in the world before he traveled through time?

There is also Sakyamuni, the great Buddha, but he is called a heretic in this world, which is simply unbelievable.

However, the Buddhism before the time travel was beyond existence and non-existence, and only sought spiritual transcendence. It was typical that only the nature was cultivated, not the life, and the physical body was regarded as a stinking skin bag. Only Tantric Buddhism cultivated both the physical body and the mind.

The Buddhist monks in this world practice secret realms, and their bodies are stronger than each other. If counted in this way, they can barely be considered heretics.

As Wang Zizai obtained more and more inherited treasures from the wishing pool, including those from Taoism and Buddhism, he became more and more curious about it all.

If I could meet Laozi, perhaps all this could be solved, Wang Zizai thought.

Retracting his thoughts, Wang Zizai began to explain the "Tao Te Ching" to Yan Qingci again, and the others also listened attentively.

"Remember, everyone understands differently, so don't get bogged down in my explanation. You can read more often in your daily life. The meaning of a book will become clear after reading it a hundred times." After the lecture, Wang Zizai reminded Yan Qingci again.

"Fellow Daoist, can I make a copy of these two scriptures?" asked the Supreme Xuanwu.

"Of course there is nothing wrong with that. This was passed down to the world by our ancestors. Who am I qualified to keep it to myself?" Wang Zizai said.

In fact, with the strength of Xuanwu Supreme and others, they will never forget it after hearing it once, but they still have to show due respect.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist. If he can make further progress in his cultivation in the future, it will all be thanks to your teaching today." The Supreme Xuanwu stood up and saluted.

Seeing Xuanwu Supreme do this, the others also followed suit and saluted.

After the lecture, Wang Zizai said, "Qingci, today I will teach you a few more magical powers, but you must remember that cultivation is the foundation. The magical powers are only used to protect the Tao. You must not lose sight of the essence and pursue the trivial."

"One of them is the Samadhi True Fire, which can burn anything and cannot be extinguished by water. It can be used to exorcise demons and protect the way, and it can also be used to refine elixirs and weapons. You can use it to refine the half of the Phoenix Wing Gilded Halberd into a precious sword."

"The second is the Immortal Execution Sword Technique. Once you have gained some understanding, I will teach you the Immortal Absolute Sword Technique, the Immortal Trap Sword Technique, and the Immortal Slaughter Sword Technique in order. You can use these to set up the Immortal Execution Sword Formation and kill any god that stands in your way."

"There is another Dou character secret, which I got from your uncle Ye Fan. You can also ask him for advice on weekdays."

After saying that, Wang Ziyi pointed his finger at the center of Yan Qingci's eyebrows and passed on the method of turning the heart light into a rainbow to her.
