Chapter 72
Chapter 72
The teacher-disciple of Laozi is in stark contrast to Yuanshi Tianzun. When he came, he didn't have any visions, and he didn't have much ostentation. Even in the mortal world, he looked downcast.
When the two got closer, Cang Kong had the opportunity to have a close look at the demeanor of Lao Tzu Taiqing and Master Xuandu... The word demeanor is a bit superfluous for them.Laozi is thin and thin, with drooping white eyebrows, eyes that seem to be closed but not closed, and looks drowsy, like an old man who is getting old and lacks energy.The Great Master Xuandu in front of him was not much better than Lao Tzu, with a lazy and absent-minded look on his face.However, there is one point that shows the high level of cultivation of the two: Cang Kong's spiritual sense cannot touch within a three-foot radius of the two of them, and what he senses is only a speechless void, as if there is no living creature in front of him.
"Senior Brother, please come down to the mortal world." Yuanshi Tianzun stood up to greet him.All the disciples of Yuxu's sect also came forward to pay homage to Lao Tzu.
Lao Tzu said slowly: "Junior brother has an invitation, so I have to come."
"Jiejiao Sanxiao set up the Nine Twist Yellow River Formation out of personal grievances among the disciples, but they should never have set up this formation outside Xiqi City, hindering the number of days. For the foundation of the Zhou family and the general trend of conferring gods, I have no choice but to act Break this formation." Yuanshi Tianzun talked eloquently, taking the lead in seizing the moral high ground.
"Since that's the case, you just break it first, so why wait for me?" Lao Tzu squinted at him, still looking old and lifeless.
"After all, this move is bullying the small by the big, and I need to be a witness for me. Otherwise, it will spread the rumors, and secondly, it will destroy the tacit understanding between us and the saints, which is not beautiful." Yuanshi Tianzun said.
"Fine." Lao Tzu nodded, "The world of mortals is not a place to live for a long time, you and I will go back to the cave as soon as we break the formation."
A gleam of joy flashed across Yuanshi Tianzun's face: "What brother said is very true." After finishing speaking, he sat back on the Nine Dragons Agarwood Chariot, and golden flowers the size of a bowl grew under the chariot to hold it up. Waiter, go to the Yellow River formation.Laozi rode on a green bull to follow, and Master Xuandu led the way.
When a group of people arrived in front of the Jiuqu Yellow River formation, the Nanji fairy shouted: "Sanxiao, come and pick you up!" Three female fairies walked out of the formation, two of them stood there with sneering and disdainful expressions on their faces. No words.The other person was quite stable, and he bowed to the two saints with his arms folded: "Bi Youmen descended to Yunxiao, and I have met the two masters."
"Since you know you are an elder, why don't you worship?" Nanji Xianweng frowned and asked.
Bi Xiao snapped and said: "I worship the leader of the interception, but I don't know there is Xuandu. The superiors are not respectful, and the inferiors are disrespectful, and they are always respectful."
Nanji Xianweng frowned, and was about to yell at him, but was interrupted by Yunxiao: "Bixiao must not be rude—my sister's words are rude, but there is a reason for the matter, the two seniors, please forgive me!"
After a pause, she continued: "I was waiting to avenge my brother, so I set up a battle here just now. Fellow Daoist Lingbao, Fellow Daoist, Fellow Daoist Randeng, Fellow Daoist Yun Zhongzi, and Lu Ya Five fellow Taoists joined the battle to end karma, and each life and death will be in peace. How did Fellow Daoist Ran Deng invite two masters to come? Saints never intervene in the cause and effect between disciples, otherwise the killing and catastrophe will intensify, and it will intensify into conflicts among saints . Can you bear the responsibility of this kind of crime?"
Yun Xiao's words were neither humble nor overbearing, and his voice was so loud that Cang Kong could hear them clearly from such a distance. He didn't need to look to know that Ran Deng's face was about to grow into a bitter melon again.Yunxiao's words clearly meant that the lamp should not call the saints, but actually said that the two saints used the big to bully the small, broke the rules, and tried to run Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun so that they would not intervene.
Yuanshi Tianzun chuckled: "Shouldn't you have set up this formation outside Xiqi City, hindering the days of Zhou Xingshang's destruction, blocking the general trend of conferring gods, and being poor to spread the way and respond to people, it is natural to break this formation Go. Don't worry, there are senior brothers here to testify, and the poor will definitely not bully the small with the big and hurt your life."
"Come on, since the uncle has made up his mind, please follow the rules of breaking the formation." Yun Xiao's face turned pale slightly, and his voice was calm, "You two sisters, follow me into the formation."
Seeing Sanxiao entering the battle, Yuanshi Tianzun nodded, signaling Taoist Randeng and Nanji Xianweng to stay where they were and enter by chariot alone.Lao Tzu didn't bring the Great Master of Xuandu with him, and rode into the battle on a green bull.
Not long after, the boundless yellow air suddenly stopped flowing, and then shattered and dispersed silently. The figures of Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun appeared in the formation, as majestic and motionless as a mountain.Even if great changes flow and all things decay, how can it affect the existence of immortality and unity with the way of heaven?
In the dust in front of them, there were three corpses that were gradually turning into a stream of light, flying towards the Qishan Conferred God Altar—needless to say, they were the Sanxiao sisters.Cang Kong's eyelids twitched: This is what your old man called "not hurting your life"?Yes, he is not dead, how can he be called dead if he is on the list of gods.
Yuanshi Tianzun waved his sleeves, and three more figures flew out and landed in front of him, sitting cross-legged. Naturally, they were the Great Master Lingbao, Yun Zhongzi and Daoxing Tianzun.Baihong flashed past, and Lu Ya immediately appeared next to Taoist Ran Deng, waiting to see Yuanshi Tianzun make a move to wake up Yun Zhongzi.
"Disciple wake up." Yuanshi Tianzun only spoke four words, but Cang Kong felt that his words contained great power, as if he understood the mystery of heaven and earth, with strange vibrations.This vibration directly broke the restriction of Hunyuan Jindou and awakened the three of them.
"Thank you, Master, for saving me!" The three of them suddenly understood, and bowed with their bodies.
"Get up." Yuanshi Tianzun looked at the three of them, "The three of you were imprisoned by the Jiuqu Yellow River Formation, and your immortal body was consumed by the Hunyuan Golden Dou. Now you only have the cultivation base of the Celestial Immortal. Fortunately, the teacher broke through the formation quickly, Otherwise, if it drags on for another day, the three of you will become ordinary people. It's a pity that Sanxiao saw me break the formation, and took the initiative to break the rules. He died in the shock, and now he is on the Conferred God Stage."
"The disciples and others are incompetent, and the teacher is too tired to take action." The three real people said again.They naturally knew very well that when Yuanshi Tianzun came to save themselves, they had already taken the risk of bullying the small and destroying the tacit understanding of the saints.
"Forget it, now that you have cut the fruit of the Dao, you can go back to the cave and practice the Dao. The so-called breaking and then standing is the principle. The Dao is subtle, if you can understand it with your heart, after you recover in the future, you can go a step further."
After finishing speaking, Yuanshi Tianzun turned the chariot head, as if intending to leave, but stopped halfway.
"Who got the Nine Heavens Yuanyang Ruler?" He asked suddenly.
Cang Kong's heart tightened, and he subconsciously said, "It's the disciple who got it."
When these words came out, Yuanshi Tianzun looked over.Yuxu's disciples naturally separated like a tide, revealing the empty space in the middle.
"So, you are the one who caused the commotion on the platform of the emperors?" Lao Tzu was also interested, turned his head and said slowly to him.
"Yes, it's the disciple's recklessness." Cang Kong was suddenly paid attention by the two saints, and his throat felt tight and his tongue was jerky.
"It's okay, that's your good fortune." Yuanshi Tianzun's tone was quite gentle, which made Cang Kong relax a little, "Si Wenming is also a character, quite like Ji Xuanyuan back then, but it's a pity that he was not greedy enough and insisted on rebelling against him." Heaven acts according to the law. The destruction of the emperor’s platform and the injury of the Kyushu’s cauldron were all achieved by the way of heaven. Since you observe the struggle between heaven and man, you should carefully understand it, and it will be of great benefit to your way.”
"Disciple, thank you Master for your guidance." Cang Kong hastily thanked him.
"When Fan Guangchengzi came here before, did he mention the Jiutian Yuanyang Ruler to you?" Yuanshi Tianzun asked again.
"No." Cangkong felt lucky at the time, thinking that Guangchengzi had acquiesced to this matter.Thinking about it later, I felt that I should ask the other party face to face, but by then Guang Chengzi had already gone back to the mountain.
Yuanshi Tianzun nodded: "Normally, when he gave this treasure to Ji Xuanyuan, he had already erased the brand of Yuanling. Speaking of which, this magic weapon has nothing to do with him, so you can use it with confidence. But remember, After all, the magic weapon is a foreign object, and self-cultivation is the root.”
"I'll save it for you, disciple." Hearing this, Cang Kong sighed inwardly as he thought of the death of Lord Chenyi again.
"What's your name?" Lao Tzu asked.
"The disciple's Dao name is Cangkong, and he is a boy under the seat of Qingxu Daodezhenjun in Ziyang Cave on Qingfeng Mountain."
"Empty storehouse? Well, knot wood and grass think of a storehouse, and treat it as if it is not there. There is a storehouse. It is beneficial to have it, and it is useful to have it. Therefore, the Dao is empty and nothing, so it can carry all things. Good name, this name has deep meaning I am the true meaning of Taoism." Lao Tzu said slowly.
"...Thank you for your compliment." Why can't I be happy when someone praises me?
"You are Cangkong," Yuanshi Tianzun nodded clearly beside him, "Qingxu mentioned you in front of me."
Master, you are such a good person, you actually mentioned me in front of the boss of the explanation... If I accidentally become Yuanshi's personal disciple, then I will call you a senior brother, master.When Cangkong heard this, he was a little moved and a little turbulent.
"He said that your aptitude is blunt, that it is difficult to become a golden immortal, and you are destined to be a boy—"
Cangkong felt as if he had been punched in the face: Master, do you need to go to the saint to say these things?
"—But you are quite talented in the way of magic weapons. Qingxu came to me mainly to ask about the 'Diamond Cutting' magic weapon. You can show it to me." The words behind Yuanshi Tianzun made Cang Kong again Feeling aroused, he hurriedly took out the vajra, approached Yuanshi, and offered the magic weapon with both hands.
"The way of cause and effect is a good idea. However, Qingxu should have told you that if the opponent is stronger than you, or has not been exposed to the opponent's spells and magic weapon breath, this magic weapon will not be effective. Another point is that everything in the world is extremely complicated. In just a short fight, it is difficult for you to imitate it with the help of yin and yang." Yuanshi Tianzun played with it for a while, and pointed out the shortcomings of King Kong Zhuo.
"Oh, the way of cause and effect? What do you mean?" Lao Tzu interrupted and asked with interest.
Yuanshi Tianzun glanced at him, as if explaining the reason to the other party in his spiritual consciousness.Immediately, Lao Tzu nodded and said: "Borrowing the way of cause and effect to collect magic weapons? Interesting, the old Taoist has always wanted to refine a magic weapon for collecting magic weapons, but he has not put it into practice. I don't think this little boy in empty warehouse has already made it."
I'm ashamed, this was originally the idea of copying your old man... Cang Kong wiped his sweat from the bottom of his heart.
For the first time since Lao Tzu came down to earth, a smile appeared on his face: "So, old Taoist, I have a suggestion, and it will be placed on your Dao name. Only when there is nothing, can everything be contained and bear everything. It’s just a link in the Tao. For example, the two Taoist friends in the West started their cultivation based on cause and effect, and eventually returned to the Dao of Emptiness. If you can understand the principle of emptiness, not only this magic weapon is expected to become innate, but you can also improve your own practice.”
"Cangkong thanked the elder for his teaching!" Cangkong hurriedly thanked him.To be honest, Lao Tzu put it lightly, but with Cang Kong's aptitude, it would be extremely difficult to realize this level.But in any case, the other party pointed out a clear way for himself.
"Brother's words are indeed wise words, enough for Cang Kong Tonger to use for a lifetime. But with his aptitude, it may be difficult to cultivate to this level." Yuanshi Tianzun said with a smile.
"Everyone in the world counts you as the one who loves your disciples and has many ideas." Lao Tzu laughed, "Forget it, even though it's a low-level vehicle, it's also a good thing if you can take advantage of this treasure to make him take a step forward. Junior brother, Bring it." Yuanshi Tianzun handed Vajra Zhuo over with a smile.
"Cangkong boy, raise your head." Lao Tzu said to Cangkong.
Cangkong raised his head according to his words, and his eyes coincided with Laozi's.In a trance, he seemed to see the heavens, earth, mountains, rivers, sun, moon and stars, and everything was running in a mysterious and mysterious order.Everything is but a manifestation of that order in motion.That order that conceives all, moves all, nourishes all, but neither possesses nor rules—that is the Tao!
That mysterious law suddenly shrinks and gathers into the old body in front of him. This is not only a member of all things evolved by Tao, but also the origin of Tao.At this time, Cang Kong's eyes finally pulled away from Lao Tzu's eyes.
The unspeakable sense of intimacy bursts out from the bottom of Cang Kong's heart, which is the intimacy to the origin of all things, as well as the intimacy to Lao Tzu.
"After a while, I will send someone down to look for you. Then you come to my Bajing Palace to take away the Vajra." Lao Tzu looked at Cang Kong and said thoughtfully.
"Thank you, Eldest Master, for your kindness!" Cang Kong bowed down again, as if he understood something in his heart, but he didn't seem to understand anything.
