The Great Wei Music Bureau

Last time, we talked about Shiyu telling Li Yi about her experience, which made the male protagonist feel distressed. Not only did he want to redeem her and marry her, but he also wanted to change this era of moral collapse and music corruption. I don't know if he was just impulsive or made up his mind. Let's read on and see what he thinks.

After waking up, Li Yi washed up, had breakfast with Shiyu, and then left the Exiled Immortal Tower and went to Qingshui Pavilion to ask Tao Zhongwen, a lay Buddhist of water virtue, some questions. When he arrived at the door of Qingshui Pavilion, the waiter found that it was Li Yi and hurriedly said with a smile: "Oh, it's Mr. Li, I didn't expect you to come, but are you here to look for my master?"

Li Yi nodded, and the waiter said warmly: "Come, come, Mr. Li, please sit wherever you want. I will go and call the master." Li Yi didn't say anything. He bowed to express his gratitude, then stood under the plaque "The highest virtue is like water" and looked up.

After a while, Shuide Layman came over with a smile, "Mr. Li, what are you looking for me for..." Tao Zhongwen was stunned when he saw Li Yi, then he concentrated his righteousness in his eyes and looked at Li Yi, "Mr. Li has reached the sixth rank? I haven't seen you for a few days, but you have actually been promoted to the sixth rank gentleman realm. This..."

Li Yi bowed and said, "Xiuyuan greets Master Shuide. I came here today to seek advice from you." Master Shuide was still impressed by Li Yi's rapid breakthrough. When he heard this, he replied, "I wonder what Xiuyuan wants to ask?"

Li Yi asked, "Last time I was fortunate enough to receive a gift of calligraphy from you, Xiuyuan did not know how great a kindness you had shown me at that time, so today I should return the gift of calligraphy first." He pointed to the plaque above his head and said, "Last time I gave you a sentence, but you only took four words. I guess you were not very satisfied. So today I must give you two sentences that will satisfy you!" After saying this, he condensed his talent and righteousness, and a purple cyclone surrounded him, and the airflow swirled upwards, causing his robe to flutter.

Li Yi said solemnly: "I heard that you practiced both Confucianism and Taoism. I wonder what you think about heaven, earth and man. I am not talented enough to tell you my opinion first."

Li Yi took a step forward, channeling his Qi into his Dantian and said aloud: "As the heaven moves in a vigorous manner, a gentleman should constantly strive to improve himself; as the earth moves in a gentle manner, a gentleman should carry all things with great virtue."

These two sentences originally came from the "Book of Changes". Of course, there was also a "Book of Changes" in this era, but there was a big difference between the two. Because the author of the "Book of Changes" in this era was the three generations of sages Confucius and Mencius. The "Book of Changes" he compiled focused on the method of worshiping heaven and earth, the art of communicating with gods, and also had the method of divination and the theory of luck. It did not contain the two sentences that Li Yi said.

Li Yi's voice was deep and each word sounded like the sound of a bell! As soon as the two sentences came out, purple air suddenly appeared around his body and then accelerated and swirled, rising to the top of his head and merging into a column of air. It paused for a while as if accumulating strength, and instantly the air rushed into the sky!

Shuide Layman watched quietly, he knew that there was going to be a strange phenomenon in the sky! But he heard a roar in the sky, the sound was like thunder, but there was no dark clouds gathering; the sound was like drums, only heard from far and near. The whole Shangjing City could hear this continuous roar, people walked out of the house and looked up at the sky, but there was no cloud in the sky, everyone was curious about what happened.

The roar lasted for half an incense stick of time and then disappeared. Suddenly, a purple column of air as thick as a bell or drum fell from the sky. There seemed to be purple lightning flashing around the column! The column of air went straight through Qingshui Pavilion. People on the surrounding streets only felt the ground tremble, and some even fell to the ground.

Everyone watched helplessly as the air column fell from the sky and smashed into Qingshui Pavilion, but there was nothing unusual in the attic! Inside the house, the air column descended from the beam and directly swallowed Li Yi! This feeling was not a sudden enlightenment, but a waterfall! When the air column disappeared, everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

Shuide Lay Buddhist looked at Li Yi in a trance. The latter still had purple air emanating from his body. He waved his hand to disperse the purple air, then calmly walked to Shuide Lay Buddhist and bowed, saying, "Excuse me, sir, are you satisfied with these two sentences?"

Shuide Jushi shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Alas, the warning motto also contains the Taoist mindset. Xiuyuan even asked me if I am satisfied? Are you trying to please me?" Li Yi said seriously, "Xiuyuan has no such intention! I am just afraid that what I say is contrary to your teachings, and I am afraid that you will not like it!"

Shuide looked at Li Yi with disdain, "Contradictory?" He suddenly stopped, gathered his righteousness in his eyes, and looked at Li Yi, "Has Xiuyuan made another breakthrough?" Li Yi said in bewilderment, "Probably not, I don't know much about it!"

Mr. Shuide used the Confucian technique of looking at qi. After careful observation, he found that Li Yi did not break through but reached the great perfection of the sixth-grade gentleman realm. He might break through to the next realm at any time!

Looking at the bewildered Li Yi, Tao Zhongwen exclaimed: "Xiuyuan, you know that your current realm is something that many scholars cannot reach in their lifetime?" Li Yi said nervously: "Sir, but I am a little impatient. Is there anything wrong with improving so quickly? Is there a problem with an unstable foundation and insufficient Qi?"

Shuide Jushi naturally knew that this guy was showing off. To put it in the most popular language today, this guy was just showing off! But even though he knew this, Shuide Jushi had nothing to say. He sighed again, "Is that purple air just now talent or..."

“That is pure righteous energy, accompanied by a little bit of purple divine thunder!” Li Yi stretched out his hand and condensed a purple gas in his palm. There was purple-gold electric light in the purple gas. Mr. Shuide was stunned.

This Purple Sky Divine Thunder is the most powerful move in Confucian and Taoist magic. Only those who are above the third level or the extraordinary realm can use it. It can be said to be the Confucian's ultimate move. This thunder is guided by the body's own righteous energy, asking the heavens to send down punishment. If a Confucian and Taoist saint uses this magic, the power will be comparable to a heavenly calamity!

Shuide Layman was at a loss and stared at Li Yi blankly. Li Yi broke the deadlock and said, "Sir, would you like to accept these two sentences of Xiuyuan?"

The old man waved his hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense! How can you accept such a warning?"

"Oh? Xiuyuan made a mistake. I don't know what word to use?"

Tao Zhongwen gave Li Yi a cold look, then he grabbed a brush out of thin air, condensed his energy into ink, and wrote with ease. Then he said in a serious voice, "Such a warning should be expressed with the word 'respect'!" Then a wooden couplet with red background and gold characters appeared on the pillars on both sides of the gate of Qingshui Pavilion.

The first couplet says: Heaven moves with vigor and the gentleman should constantly strive to improve himself.

The second couplet reads: The Earth’s position is Kun; a gentleman carries the world with great virtue.

Many people gathered outside Qingshui Pavilion to watch. They didn't know what happened. They only saw a purple column of air hitting the teahouse. They all ran over to watch the excitement. The couplet that suddenly appeared scared everyone. Tao Zhongwen walked out of the gate and saluted to the onlookers, saying, "Fellow villagers, please forgive me for laughing. It was just an accident. Don't panic. Everyone, go away and do your own things."

Tao Zhongwen's words seemed ordinary, but in fact they were using the Confucian exhortation method. After hearing Tao Zhongwen's words, the onlookers left one after another, and the street returned to peace. Shuide returned to the house and sat down under the plaque of "Shangshan Ruoshui" to drink tea with Li Yi. Then he asked, "Xiuyuan, what do you want to ask me? I have no idea what to do with such a big gift."

Li Yi laughed and said, "A couplet, written by the gentleman himself, is not a great gift, but just a random nonsense."

"Xiu Yuan, your random words can cause such a strange phenomenon in heaven and earth. If you think carefully about what you say, wouldn't you be able to transcend the ordinary and become a saint?"

Li Yi thought for a while and said, "Why not give it a try? Let Xiuyuan think about it."

"Alright, alright, let's get down to business. What do you want to ask me?"

Li Yi smiled and said, "I wonder if you are willing to tell me everything you know." Tao Zhongwen pointed to the gate and said, "You are so kind to ask me a question. I will tell you the truth."

"Then Xiuyuan would like to ask, sir, do you know the dual cultivation technique?"

Mr. Shuide's face turned pale. This kid caused a strange phenomenon in the world just to ask about the secret method of dual cultivation. However, he had already promised to tell him everything he knew, so he had to bite the bullet and explain it to Li Yi.

The Dual Cultivation Technique is a secret method of the Daoist sect that is not passed on to outsiders. The three sects of Heaven, Earth and Man all have the Dual Cultivation Technique, but the Dual Cultivation Technique of the Earth Sect is the most complete and effective. Shuide Jushi is a disciple of the Human Sect of the Daoist sect. He himself has not learned the Dual Cultivation Technique. In his opinion, or in the opinion of Confucianism, the Dual Cultivation Technique is a secret method that violates etiquette. The Dual Cultivation Technique is a magic technique that harmonizes yin and yang to nourish the primordial spirit, and then uses the primordial spirit to nourish the physical body.

This secret method is mainly based on postures and qigong, which is not very helpful for endurance. As Shi Yu said, there was a powerful person who was attracted by this secret method and wanted to obtain the dual cultivation technique at all costs. As a result, the Taoist traitor who was bribed was executed on the spot before he could teach it. Later, the three Taoist sects agreed that those who leaked the dual cultivation secret technique to secular people would be punished by heaven and earth. Therefore, before teaching the dual cultivation technique in Taoism, one must first swear a solemn oath not to teach it privately. From then on, the dual cultivation technique could no longer be passed on to outsiders.

In addition to teaching the dual cultivation technique, Tao Zhongwen also told Li Yi some basic information about the three sects of Taoism, Tiandiren. Tianzong cultivates the supreme forgetfulness of emotions, which aims to preserve the principles of heaven and eliminate human desires. Once the right result is achieved, it will complement the heavenly way with itself, which is equivalent to an update patch for the heavenly way system. Tianzong takes swordsmanship, object control, and thunder magic as the foundation of the sect.

The Earth Sect practices the cutting of the three corpses, which refers to the cutting of the three evil desires in the human body, namely "greed, anger, and ignorance". These three evil desires transform into three kinds of insects in the human body:

The corpse insect is called Peng Hou. It is inside the human head and makes people stupid and devoid of wisdom.

The corpse insect in the middle is called Peng Zhi. When it is in the human chest, it makes people have troubles and delusions, and they cannot be at peace.

The name of the corpse insect is Peng Jiao. When it is in the human belly, it makes people covet men and women for food and drink.

The goal of the Earth Sect is to kill the Three Corpse Worms. Once they succeed, they will become Golden Immortals guarding the Heavenly Dao, which is equivalent to the firewall of the Heavenly Dao. The Earth Sect uses various spells, spells and Samadhi True Fire as the foundation of the sect.

The method of cultivating good karma in the human sect refers to doing good deeds, reaping good results, and accumulating good karma. There are many rules for doing good deeds. For example, if you save a bad person and he continues to do bad things after being saved, then saving him is not a good deed, but will reduce your good karma.

If one saves a person who has committed heinous crimes, one will suffer backlash from the Heavenly Law. In the mildest case, one's life span will be shortened and one's cultivation level will be reduced. In the worst case, one will fall into the path of evil and be hunted down by the Golden Immortal.

If one cultivates the law of fate to the right result, he will become a terrestrial immortal, and can open a Taoist temple, pray for people, and enjoy the incense of the world. It is equivalent to an interactive platform for the heavenly system. The human sect is based on magic weapons, immortal pills, and the Yin-Yang Wuji technique.

After listening to Tao Zhongwen's story, Li Yi asked, "Since the Taoist Di Sect is the best at dual cultivation, where is the Di Sect's dojo?"

Tao Zhongwen said, "The Tianzong Daoist temple is in the territory of Wei, the Tianshi Mansion in Zhongnan Mountain. The main temple of the Dizong Daoist temple is in the Demon Subduing Hall in Qiyun Mountain in Nanliang. There are too many Renzong Daoist temples, and the most common Taoist temples are Renzong Daoist temples, but the most famous one in Wei is the Taihe Palace in Wudang Mountain. My Taoist master is the head of Taihe Palace, Guangde Zhenren Zhong Youlong, but I am only an outer disciple of the Renzong Daoist sect, and I cannot always be with my master."

"Old man?" Li Yi looked at the Shuide Lay Buddhist in front of him who was over 60 years old and asked in surprise: "How old do you have to be to be called an old man?"

Tao Zhongwen smiled and said, "Master is already over 120 years old, but despite his great achievements in cultivation, he still looks like he is in his 40s."

Tao Zhongwen recalled that when he first met Zhong Youlong, he called him "brother". When he learned his true identity and age, he felt ashamed for three days and three nights. Later, he apologized in person and sincerely sought advice, and was finally accepted as an outer disciple. Thinking of this, Tao Zhongwen's old face could not hide the shame.

When Li Yi heard this, he thought: Damn, a long life! It seems that in this world, practicing Taoism can really make you immortal! Do you want to consider it? With my character of being afraid of hardship and having poor patience, it seems that practicing Taoism has no future! Forget it, life is short, drink to death! Ugh! Life is short, enjoy it while you can! Li Yi gave up the idea of ​​practicing Taoism, but did not give up the pursuit of dual cultivation. He thought that if he had the opportunity to travel to Nanliang, he must go to the Qiyun Mountain Demon Subduing Hall to ask for advice!
