Chapter 49 Living is a kind of practice

Under the moonlight, the mountains retreated quickly behind me. When I passed by the Chaoyang Slope, I chose to avoid it, and flew around for a distance toward Danxia Peak.

Taoist Master Xuanming said very clearly that the ceremony tonight was held at Danxia Peak.

Danxia Peak is the main peak of the Taibai Mountains. There is a Qiongtai at the top, which looks like a saddle, and is dozens of feet in a circle. It leans on the back of the cliffs, facing the double gaze in front, and facing the deep pool at the bottom. It has three cliffs on the sides, and the lonely peak stands tall.

When I arrived, I found that hundreds of monks had gathered there. There were monks wearing Taoist robes, bald monks, beautiful women, men in suits and ties... In short, they all wear everything.

There are so many Xuanmen people gathered together, and there are many above me. It would be bad if they are discovered and removed as ghosts. I dare not get close at all, so I let my Yin God stop in the void a hundred meters away, and quietly wait for the ceremony to begin.

Didn't wait long, the Sanyang Taoist quickly appeared on the stage.

It was indeed him... his head was covered in white hair, his face was vicissitudes, and his back was slightly hunched. This look suddenly looked like an ordinary old man who was about to die. However, his eyes were extremely deep and shining with a wise luster.

As soon as my spiritual sense passed by him, the Taoist Sanyang seemed to have discovered it. He turned his head and glanced into the void, then turned his head and said to everyone loudly: "Thank you for coming to watch the ceremony for all Taoists... The people in the ancient Xuanmen looked down at the heaven, earth, mountains, rivers, plants, and trees, and looked up at the stars, sun and moon. They always gained something and realized something, and finally took the great way to leave.

Since the Yuan Dynasty, the land of China has undergone many catastrophes, and the Xuanmen has gradually withered. Although there are alchemy scriptures and talismans, it is a pity that the heavens are vague. The people in the Xuanmen only wander outside the gate and are unable to peek at the paths of the Great Way. During this period, countless seniors tried it with their bodies, but they only ended up dead... Three Yangs are not talented, I hope to follow the footsteps of all seniors, try it with their bodies, and give you some inspiration... "

The old Taoist priest said a long and sad sentence, and then led his disciples to kneel down to worship the ancestor.

After everything was ready, he decided to step into the middle of the rooftop and sit cross-legged.

That expression... didn't seem to be trying to comprehend the great way, but it was like rushing to die!

Looking at other monks in the distance, they were confused, uneasy, and depressed on their faces... but they did not have a firm look.

It turns out that like me, they are also confused and have lost confidence in this heavenly way.

As the hand techniques of the Sanyang Taoist changed, I found that a mysterious yellow light suddenly burst out from his body, especially where the six orifices were located, the light was even more sprayed.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I feel that when the Sanyang Taoist was practicing, an inexplicable aura began to stir up in the void around me, and the dark sky above my head also vibrated slightly.

The mysterious yellow light continued to erupt on the Sanyang Taoist, gradually covering the whole body. Yin fire and Yang fire flashed out, spinning rapidly around him, slowly approaching the gathering and fusion, like a flowing Tai Chi diagram.

This is the realm of Concentration of the Tao that is mentioned in the book? I have questions and continue to concentrate and peek, waiting for the two fires of yin and yang to be united.

"Hohohohoho..." The turbulent aura around became clearer. The energy of heaven and earth and spiritual energy quickly poured into the Taoist statue with the gesture of the Sanyang Taoist. In this situation, it was like pouring a few spoonfuls of oil on the lit firewood pile, and the two yin and yang fires erupted vigorously and burned.

Not good... At this moment, I could instinctively feel a little scared, and the Yin God retreated to the distance.

As for what I am afraid of, I can't even explain it clearly.

The heaven and earth vitality that penetrated into the Sanyang Taoist human body was different, and it seemed to be mixed with a faint abusive and evil spirit, which made my Yin God feel uneasy.

"Ah..." Before he could retreat to the distance, he heard a shrill scream from the rooftop.

At the moment when the Yin and Fire and Yang Fire merged, a sudden change occurred in the Sanyang Taoist, making a remote sound, and then a raging fire light appeared.

The vital energy was rioting... Even if it was hundreds of meters away, I could clearly feel the vital energy of heaven and earth running around and bursting inside the old Taoist priest.

"No, go and save Brother Sanyang!!"

The monks on the rooftop screamed and rushed over one after another.

Unfortunately, it was too late. The Sanyangdao population always screamed, carrying black smoke all over, rushed towards the edge of the rooftop, falling straight down the cliff...

This... this... the scene in front of me was beyond my reach, and I stared blankly at the deep sky.

There seemed to be a big hand there, fiddling with all this.

When the old Taoist brought the vital energy of heaven and earth into his body, I clearly sensed that the void above him was twisted, layer by layer, and fragmented.

Broken void, or broken way of heaven?

I tried to rush my spiritual sense into the void and sense...

One hundred meters, one thousand meters... until the limit that the spiritual consciousness can reach.

I sensed that the wind was rushing above the nine heavens. The mysterious aura became clearer, including joy, anger, sorrow, and sorrow... All kinds of complex emotions spread in the void, covering the sky and pressing towards the spiritual consciousness.

I was afraid of something unexpected, so I quickly restrained my spiritual sense and retracted it.

In the void, I bowed to the wreckage of the Sanyang Taoist Man and left quietly.

Come without a shadow, go without a trace...

On the way back, I kept thinking about what the spiritual sense sensed. Are those complex emotional auras manifested by human desires and beliefs, or the emotions that the way of heaven itself possesses? Why did I feel great fear when I was tempted?

What exactly is the way of heaven... Thinking of the end, even the way of heaven itself began to doubt.

Chapter 77 of Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching": "The way of heaven can reduce the excess and make up for the deficiency."

"Zuo Zhuan" says: "The way of heaven is far and the way of man is near, and it is not within reach. How can we know it?"

"Zhong Ling" says: "The numbers of the way of heaven are the changes in human hearts."

The Buddhist scriptures say: "One way is connected and all the way is together, and this way is the way of heaven."

The way of heaven, the way of human being... In these discussions, human beings are always combined with the way of heaven. The way of heaven is ever greater, human beings are small, but there are too many ants to bite the elephant to death. Just like the Huai River, the pollution of human activities in the past decade has far exceeded the total of the past thousand years. Could it be that human activities have changed the way of heaven?

In the way of confusion, I vaguely feel that I have grasped something: if you want to attain the way of heaven, you must first seek the way of humanity. Even humans cannot do well, let alone become immortals.

In this era when everything in the world is changing rapidly and technology is developing rapidly, if the people in Xuanmen continue to hide and practice in the mountains, they may no longer be able to do so.

To view Tao by the common people, Tao is also a common person; to view Tao by the common people, custom is Tao.

In the end, when practicing Taoism, you will have to return to the world. Just like reading, learning, mastering knowledge... it is not a kind of practice.

Living is a kind of practice? I think of a sentence I read not long ago, it is so philosophical!!

The thought of going out for a while during the summer vacation suddenly arose in my mind. By the way, I was already eighteen years old in a blink of an eye, but the biggest city I have ever visited is Qinghe County.

I know my parents will definitely not agree, I have a headache... I am a monk!

I have always wanted to find an opportunity to explain my differences to my parents, and I stopped every time I talked about my knowledge.

Otherwise, let’s go back to my hometown, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Grandma usually ignores me, and occasionally disappears for a few days and no one pays attention.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this idea was good. Just as I was about to tell the adults, my father received an emergency call: My godfather fainted and is now in the hospital for rescue!

After hanging up the phone, my father did not delay at home. He simply packed up a few pieces of clothes and walked out of the house with his suitcase.

"Dad, take me there too." I chased after me. With the talisman in my hand, maybe I can help.

My father didn't say much, just nodded.

That morning, we took a bus to the provincial capital.

At the Provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, I finally met my godfather. He was lying on the hospital bed at this moment, and his godmother was feeding chicken soup spoonful by spoonful.

What a strong evil spirit... I was stunned when I saw my godfather for the first time.

Hearing footsteps at the door, my godfather quickly raised his head and smiled, "Old Su, are you here so soon?"

"Well, are you okay?" my father asked anxiously.

"It's nothing big. I just wrote materials in the office in the morning. I suddenly fainted as I wrote them. Later, I was sent to the hospital by the company. The doctor had already checked it and said that it was overworking and it would be fine if I had a few days off."

My godfather looked relaxed, but I saw that the three groups of yang fire on him were obviously much weaker. So he asked tentatively: "Godfather, have you encountered something strange recently?"

"Strange thing, no?" Hearing me suddenly speak, my godfather asked in surprise.

"Xiao Hao, what are you talking about?" The father scolded him.

Although everyone stared at me, I insisted: "I mean, have you always felt cold on your body recently..."

"How do you know?!"
