Chapter 4 Freedom in Vientiane
"When it comes to major historical events, we have to talk about the catastrophe that occurred in the 16th generation of our sect and the 17th generation of the ancestor Xu Gu Zhenren. Our sect was invaded by a great enemy in the 16th generation and was almost wiped out. Fortunately, the fourteenth and twelve generations who were closed to death broke through the pass and defeated the powerful enemy at the cost of his complete fall."
"This sect was called Zizai Gate before the seventeenth generation. After the great disaster, the 17th generation ancestor Xu Gu Zhenren learned from his mistakes, made great changes, and changed his name to Zizai Wanxiang Gate, which has been used to this day."
"Before the seventeenth generation, our sect specializes in practicing the Pure Land Wuji Gong to achieve enlightenment and become an immortal, but I don't take it. However, in that great disaster, the enemy had many methods and used everything. Xugu Zhenren reflected on himself and believed that as long as it helped to clear away all obstacles during the cultivation period, it could be used for me. So he broke the rules, introduced external forces and developed himself, and then he had the current situation where all the peaks stood together and hundreds of schools of thought were heard."
"Since the seventeenth generation, the development of this sect has experienced many ups and downs, but it has been through without any danger, achieving its current renowned reputation."
"All things are free, freedom is the foundation, the root, the main; all things are the use, the branches, and the auxiliary, which is the freedom. Speaking of freedom, let me ask you first how you understand it?"
The three of them thought about it themselves, and Lin Xianjing said, "There is a thousand gold in the family, and the actions are determined by the heart."
"Yes, you're rich, willful," Mu Zi commented.
Hua Lanting then replied: "The flowers pass by, but the leaves don't touch the body."
Mu Zi glanced at Hua Lanting: "Okay, don't interfere with each other, do your own things."
Yi Liunian said: "I will do my best to the heaven and earth."
Mu Zi smiled and said, "No, the sea is wide and the fish leaps, and the sky is high and the birds fly."
"You can literally understand freedom as free, unrestrained, and wanton, and that's not wrong."
"This sect advocates the view of the way of heaven through pure and inaction, and follow the circumstances and nature. However, the way of heaven is impermanent, but there is a way to ask, a way to follow, and a real one to prove. Only by doing what you want without going beyond the rules, and following the flow and being in harmony with the wonderful things can one attain the great way and obtain great freedom."
"As for how to do this, can you transcend the constraints of heaven and earth, there is also the true meaning in it, and I have forgotten to say it if I want to distinguish it."
"This process is called cultivation in this sect. However, the great way is three thousand, and the methods are countless, and the paths are the same. Not only is the Taoist sect not the only way, but there is no fixed way to follow the differences between the sects and the laws of fate. This sect claims to be the authentic Xuanmen, and can give you a big trip on the road of cultivation. However, the sky is high and the road is long and the road is long. Everyone is competing for the chance of life, and the joints are actually dangerous and dangerous."
"There is no saying that there is a country in the world of cultivation. In addition to a large number of cultivation sects of different sizes, there are also a large number of cultivation families, and there are more ordinary people." "In the fairy continent, ordinary people can live longer than 100, and it is common for those who practice their lifespan to reach 150 or even 200. Many people who practice this sect's mysterious skills and live between 200 and 300 years old, but it will not be easy after 300. More than 300 years old will inevitably start to face various great disasters such as the five declines of heaven and earth. Although this sect has various secret methods to prolong life, except for a few ancestors who can ascend to the sky, no one in history can avoid the fate of being with the light after 500 years old."
"The situation of other sects may not be as good as that of our sect. How many three or four hundred years old Su Lao Jian is a secret in the sect, but he can't figure it out where to go. And what he said next is countless disciples who died on the way due to various reasons of their own and humanity."
Seeing the three of them's expressions from the beginning to the red and green color now, Mu Zi suddenly laughed: "The secret technique of Taoism is granted to you. When you come to our door, don't complain when you are in danger. You three have made a fortune here. Where is the promised lime spirit, boiling life?"
"There is indeed great terror between life and death. If you can't break life and death, you won't talk about cultivation. But at least these are not what you should consider now. If you have wine today, you will be drunk now. Come on, let's go with me."
After watching the three of them drink, Mu Zi continued, "What is freedom? There is no uniform answer. Everyone, everyone, have different understandings at different stages."
"Take me as an example, the most comfortable thing I want to do is not to do whatever I want, but to do whatever I want. It's difficult." Shaking his head, Mu Zi continued: "Freeze has to say this first. The topic is getting bigger. How can you be free? You still have plenty of time to experience it. Let's talk about everything."
"It is naturally an exaggeration to cover everything, but the number of practice methods in this sect is indeed one of the best."
"It still has to start with the sixteenth generation of catastrophe. At that time, it was not that our sect was not good at kung fu, but that the enemy was too cruel. First, he used the traitor to poison some masters, and then transferred a lot of elite soldiers. Then he used the formation to trap a group of disciples. Then the traitor opened the mountain protection formation, and joined the pagans outside the Immortal Continent and drove the beasts into the door for the vanguard. In addition, he came prepared and caught us off guard, so he almost succeeded."
"The Master Xugu gradually changed the pattern of the sect's martial arts based on this. To this day, Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, and Yuheng's five peaks are mainly engaged in the Freedom of Wuji Gong. I will explain this in detail later."
"Let's talk about Kaiyang Peak first. Kaiyang mainly refines alchemy. Alchemy originated from the Taoist sect, but it was only used as an auxiliary tool before the seventeenth generation, and it did not form a system independently as it is now."
"There are currently three directions in Kaiyang Peak: one is to refine elixirs, which is still to assist in the practice of the Wuji Kung Fu in the Heaven and Earth; the second is to refine poison, which develops from the side effects of refining alchemy; the third is to refine medicine, which can save lives and help the wounded. After all, poison damages people's lives and elixirs are of the same origin. Since the foundation of the alchemy path is solid, once the efforts are made very fast, the elixirs produced by Kaiyang Peak have always been extremely popular."
"Let's talk about Yaoguang Peak, who is responsible for carefully studying the formation mechanism and the mythology of Tianji. The Taoist Sect has always been involved in this. The ancestor Daohan Zhenren is a master. It is said that the formation of the Zizai Wuji Gong has a lot to do with the ancestor's perception of the formation. However, for a period of time, the formation was almost lost, but once it was taken seriously, it was also quickly."
"Although it is difficult to cover everything, it also forms the characteristics of this sect: First, the sect does not value killing, so the formation is mainly based on illusion arrays, mystery arrays, trap arrays, and the learning of the mechanisms of the war arrays and kill arrays is supplemented; second, the exploration of the sixty-four hexagrams of Fuxi innate Zhouyi is more profound and unique; third, the Dayan Tianji Art, which is being developed by itself."
"Dongming Peak is mainly used to refine weapons. Originally, the casting of magic weapons and magic weapons was also the director of a generation of ancestors, and the Tiandi Furnace of the Heaven and Earth Furnace of the Gate of this sect is a clear proof. Unfortunately, the ancestor ascended early and had limited his inheritance, and the inheritance has not been met. Later, after the seventeenth generation began to actively absorb the refining masters, the situation improved."
"There are three directions at present: one refining magic weapons and magic weapons, two refining weapons and hidden weapons, and three refining body protection suits."
"As for Zhaoyao Peak, it is mainly used to control beasts. This has begun to develop due to the influence of the enemies of other worlds during the great catastrophe. It is not yet complete, so it can only be said to have made progress. On the one hand, small beast insects, like the guide butterfly that leads you here is a kind of, which can be used as detection and transmission; on the other hand, medium-sized beasts that can cooperate with the owner and travel with them; on the other hand, there are very few alien spirit beasts with strong strength."
"The above situation was formed, firstly because we suffered a great loss due to the lack of these in that disaster; secondly, because Mengbisheng Huashan is full of spiritual energy and vast territory, and disciples from all generations have been continuously deepening into it to develop minerals, plants and other resources, which can provide materials for diversified development. This may also be the main reason why those strong enemies covet our sect and launched wars. Now that this continent has been peaceful for a long time, I don't know when there will be a dispute over this."
After pausing for a while, Mu Zi changed his mind and said he had returned to the five main peaks.
"You must remember that no matter what, the five main peaks and the Freedom of Jigong have always been the foundation of our sect. I think if the enemy had not been insidious and cunning back then, if they had fought head-on, I would not be afraid of any force."
"The ancestor Daohan, a generation of ancestors, is envious. The free and Wuji master created by hand is profound and has infinite potential. In the future, you must not delay the practice of Wuji Master because of practicing other aspects. Remember."
After giving some advice, Mu Zi said again:
"Since the Shuxuan Immortal City has come into contact with other continents, the practices it has become more diverse, and the wonderful methods of the Qimen are emerging one after another, but at present, it is still mostly practiced by the Taoist sect."
"Although each school has different choices and orders of practicing acupoints and operating methods, the mainstream realm division always follows the order of building foundations, obtaining medicine, forming pills, refining pills, returning pills, warming, refining, rebirth, Xuanzhu, Yaochi, and Wuji, which correspond to the breakthroughs and enlightenment of different acupoints in the human body."
"In addition, each realm is divided into four stages: to advance to the hall, enter the room, reach the peak, and create the extreme ones."
"Although this is generally the case, it is divided into one Yuan Revival, two dragons come out of water, three mountains accompany the moon, four symbols of Yin and Yang, five qi facing Yuan, six Ding and six Jia, seven stars of Beidou, eight gates of gold lock, nine curves of chain and ten directions of Wuji."
"The Taoist sect practices are easy to learn but difficult to master, and the Free Wuji sect is the same. Take the first level of the 1st-century realm as an example. Due to the sufficient spiritual energy and profound skills, it is not difficult to penetrate the Ren and Du meridians that are difficult to open in the secular world. Almost all disciples can achieve them in the short term. However, the difficulty will increase step by step."
"Among them, the Three Mountains and the Moon Realm is a small pass, and the Seven Star Beidou Realm is a big pass. After breaking through, you can fly physically, but the chance of breaking the pass suddenly narrows here. There are countless geniuses who have stopped in the Jiuqu Lian environment from ancient times to the present, and there are even fewer people who are lucky enough to enter the Ten Directions Wuji Realm."
"It is said that the division of the stages in the future is different from the previous ones. I am not very clear about the specific standards and how to break through to a higher level of ascension."
