Vol 6 Chapter 40: Temple of the Master Jing

Chapter 40: The Palace of the Ancestor of the Dead in the Night
Luojing, not far from the east side of the palace, there is a Taoist temple that is elegant and luxurious.
This is exactly the view of Guizhen in the general forum of Guizhen Sect. Because the Xu family's fortunes all came from this, after the founding of the country, it was built near the imperial palace to show respect for Guizhen Sect.
But now Nuoda’s Taoist temple has long been empty. Clothes, tables and chairs, incense burners, ceremonial utensils and other scattered objects are scattered on the ground. Whether it is good or bad, whether it’s good or bad, it’s still standing. It seemed to have experienced a turmoil, and the night was already very deep, making it quite desolate, deserted, and messy.
When the emperor Xu Chenggao looked at the scene in front of him, his bitter smile on his face increased, and he said to the queen and the little who had followed him: "I think only those ministers are the cartilage, which side is forced to fall to which wall. The grass, I can’t think that the view of returning to the truth is also a tree to fall, and it’s hard to see a loyal and righteous person."
"The wind knows the grass and the loyal ministers are swift. The emperor doesn't need to be so worried. There must be loyalty in the ten households in Da'an." There were still tears on the face of the little eunuch.
There were no guards all the way. Walking from the palace compound to Guizhen Guan, he slowly calmed down when he saw other palace ladies and eunuchs who were scattered among birds and animals.
Xu Chenggao laughed and said, "You are a familiar poet, well, you can always walk with me and the queen here, and you can be considered a loyal person. By the way, what is your name?" While talking, he and the queen supported each other. Then, continue to the Patriarch Hall.
"The servant is called Wei Jing." The little replied quietly, holding Xu Chenggao's other side.
The three of them walked through the courtyard and soon came to the Patriarch Hall. When they saw the shining lights and a quiet and solemn look of the Patriarch Hall, they couldn't help but hold their breath, let go of their supporting hands, let go of their footsteps, and proceeded cautiously. Go inside the hall.
Although the footsteps were small, they evoked an echo in the extremely quiet Patriarch Hall. So when Xu Chenggao, Empress Ruan Shi, and Little Eunuch Wei Jing had just entered the hall just a few steps, they felt three eyes looking at themselves and others. Come, with a little surprise.
It turned out that there were three monks in yellow clothes, two men and one woman, who quietly and reverently bowed down in front of the statue of Patriarch and confessed. It was not until Xu Cheng and others came in and broke the silence that they woke up.
"Poor Dao Zhou Wei, pay homage to the emperor." Among them, the thirty-something monk in yellow clothes once met Xu Chenggao every year when he visited the Patriarch's Hall, so he got up and beat the chief inspector.
"Poor Dao Wanxue, meet the emperor." "Poor Dao Xu Hongda, meet the emperor." The other two monks in their twenties naturally also got up and saluted with Zhou Wei.
Xu Chenggao was stunned for a moment, but he did not expect that there would be disciples left in the Patriarch's Palace: "A few Dao chiefs exempted them. You, why don't you follow the others?"
Zhou Wei smiled faintly: "The poor Dao won the Meng Zongmen not abandon it, incorporated into the door wall, and taught the true law. From then on, I can get a glimpse of the Supreme Immortal Dao. Co-exist and die. It is Junior Sister Wan and Junior Brother Xu. Pang Dao has been persuading them to leave, cherish this body, and keep some incense for the sect inheritance, but they don't listen at all."
Wan Xue and Xu Hongda said in unison: "Am I the one who flew separately in the face of a catastrophe." The two were so tacitly in agreement that they couldn't help but smile bitterly at each other.
After a pause, Xu Hongda said, "Even though Pang Dao is a distant relative of the royal family, all his family members died early. It was the sect that raised and nurtured me. How can I escape this time."
Wan Xue followed and nodded: "Pan Dao also grew up in the sect, and the sky is big. Only here can I feel at ease. Besides, there are some brothers who reluctantly leave and keep the incense. There is no shortage of me."
After Xu Chenggao heard this, he laughed three times: "Okay, okay, okay, there are loyal disciples like you in Guizhen Sect, and there will be hope for revival in the future." Being able to see such a persistent person at the time of the end of the crisis makes Xu Chenggao eyes Some moist, my heart is very excited.
"I don't know what happened to the emperor?" Zhou Wei asked Xu Chenggao's intentions.
Xu Chenggao thought of himself and smiled sadly: "Those ministers and generals are waiting for the Tianming Dongyuan Sect army to surrender as soon as they come. I have to come to the Patriarch Hall to see if we can get the Patriarch's manifestation and overcome this difficulty."
Without asking the common people to ask the ghosts and gods, this sentence appeared in Xu Hongda's heart somehow, but in a flash of relief, this crisis is not caused by the suffering of the world, but by the ghosts and gods. I pray that the patriarch is nothing wrong, but just return to the true sect. For more than a hundred years, only two hundred and sixty and seventy years ago, Shi Zushi appeared in Luojing once, and there was no news after that, and there was almost no possibility of manifestation.
Zhou Wei, Wan Xue, and Xu Hongda are no more than Xu Chenggao, only for body-building. They have already begun to practice the ideas of the "Guizhen Jing". They are also familiar with various Taoist classics. They know that the so-called ascension is just advanced enlightenment, and there are many realms on it. Only then can you prove the Taoist longevity, achieve the soul, and become a truly free and easy fairy.
And even if there are ancestors still alive, they are cultivating authentic Taoism, not divine Taoism, and can't respond to other people's prayers. How can it happen that they appear to be so coincidental.
However, at this time, they didn't want to hit Xu Chenggao's last hope. They gave way, and signaled Xu Chenggao to go to the statue of Patriarch and beg: "Please, please."
Xu Chenggao straightened his clothes and walked dignifiedly to the statue of Patriarch. There were three lifelike statues standing on the stage. In the middle was an old man with white hair, white eyebrows and fairy-style bones. , On the left is a young man in his twenties, with a green robe and a high crown, and his ordinary face is full of dust and dust, and his feet are in blue thunder. On the right is a charming and solemn and holy girl. Red clothes, gentle smile.
Putting on the nine-pillar incense, Xu Chenggao worshiped nine times, inserted the incense into the furnace, then knelt in front of the statue of the ancestor, and while kowtowing, he prayed: "Xu Chengye, ancestor Xu, ancestor Shi Xuan, ancestor Xu Jinyi, descendants Xu Chengqiu sincerely prayed for this. The existing evil spirits are engulfing blind faith and attacking the city. The country is decadent and crumbling. If the evil spirits succeed, the Da'an Dynasty will no longer be restored. Guizhen teaches in water and fire."
Xu Chenggao knew that the survival of the dynasties in the eyes of the patriarchs was an ordinary thing, and would not go down accordingly. Only when the Guizhen Sect involves the patriarch’s inheritance, will the ancestors manifest their spirits, so he focused on the evil spirits and the outside world. Orthodoxy.
A breeze blew by, causing the smoke in the censer and the burning joss stick to shake, but unfortunately there was no abnormality afterwards.
Although Xu Chenggao dreamed of responding to the coming miracle as soon as he prayed to the Patriarch, he knew in his heart that the possibility was very small. So after a little disappointment, he continued to kowtow hard, and at the same time read: "Please come to the Patriarch and save me Daan Chaohe Guizhen teaches on water and fire."
He understood that the most likely person to come was Patriarch Shi Xuanshi. After all, he had appeared once, but at this time, the other two manifestations could not be completely left behind, so the title did not specifically refer to which Patriarch.
Boom boom boom, Xu Chenggao hit the futon with a straight sound. After a while, he was already red and swollen, but Xu Chenggao didn't care, and continued to kowtow: "Please come and save me Da'an and Guizhen."
The Patriarch still has no response.
Xu Chenggao's forehead was broken, blood was flowing, and the futon was stained scarlet. He gritted his teeth and kept kowtowing and praying: "Please come, Master Shi, and save me Da'an and Guizhen from the water and fire." There was only one thought in his heart, even if he died. Here, he didn't give up, and his name gradually became Master Shi.
Seeing this and miserable scene, Empress Ruan and Wei Jing, the young eunuch, endured tears, covered their mouths, followed by kneeling down, and kowtow together behind Xu Chenggao, but they were not futons, but blue bricks.
"Please come, Master Shi, and save me Da'an Dynasty and Guizheng from Water and Fire." The voices of the two people gradually overlapped with those of Xu Chenggao.
Infected by this pious sight, Zhou Wei, Wan Xue, and Xu Hongda took a look and walked to the side of the empress Yuan clan. They also knelt down and knelt down and prayed: "Please come and save me Daan Dynasty and Guizhen ."
In the dead of night, the voice echoed in the Patriarch's Hall, as if the water was rolling, endless.
…………
On the second floor of Tianya Haijiaolou, Shi Xuan was sitting cross-legged, blood-red thin lines looming on his body, deepening into his body and emerging out of his skin.
After more than 30 years of slow fusion of blood, now is the critical moment when Shi Xuan's two physical bodies merge into one.
Shi Xuan used the secret method silently, and his whole body exuded a fresh, pure, vitality light. With the ups and downs of the red line, Shi Xuan's face seemed to constantly change between two and one.
When the red line penetrated deeply into the body, Shi Xuan's face and body were not abnormal. When the red line penetrated the skin, another face appeared on Shi Xuan's face, and the body became four arms.
Suddenly, countless clear light talisman seal characters appeared on Shi Xuan's body, one on each red line, and then clear light masterpiece, Shi Xuan was like being wrapped in dense clear light silk cocoons.
After a while, a purple light burst out of the cocoon, then the clear light dimmed and gradually disappeared.
The purple light fell on the ground, and Shi Xuan's figure appeared. Shi Xuan's expression was relaxed and happily inspecting himself. Now this physical body is full of power, which is a bit stronger than the master Qiao Qiao who is a cultivator. It is hard to hurt his physical identity even if it hits the body.
Before Shi Xuan got through the tribulation, Shi Xuan walked back to the futon leisurely, sat down and closed his eyes, but at this moment, Shi Xuan felt that someone was calling him in the dark.
"This feeling should be someone praying in front of my statue with his real name?" Shi Xuan said inwardly.
Normally, only the Golden Immortal Daozu can remember his name in his mind, and he can sense it. The average Shinto monk can at most feel the prayers of his own pious and honest people.
After the first catastrophe, the real Yang Shen who was able to make a whim, he couldn't feel it when others chanted his name. After all, he is not a Shinto monk. Only long-term, non-stop, very pious, and dependable prayers can Aroused such a faint feeling of blood.
Shi Xuan now indirectly possesses this kind of blood pressure through Xiantian Bagua and Taiji Diagram.
