Practice begins with using the Six Dings and Six Jias

"What did you gain from this trip to Leiyin Buddha Country?"

Taoist Qingxu asked Xu Qing about his experience on this trip.

Xu Qing's expression was stern: "The harvest was unexpectedly huge!"

When Taoist Qingxu and others heard this, they immediately put on an attitude of listening attentively.

Xu Qing told all the things he had learned in Leiyin Buddha Country.
This included Zhuang Yan using himself as an anchor to temporarily stabilize the disorder of cause and effect in Leiyin Buddha Kingdom, as well as the news learned from the three monks of the ancient Leiyin Temple.

I told the master and several senior brothers everything.

Taoist Qingxu and others all had extremely complicated expressions when they heard this.

"It turns out that it was the saint's malicious thought that led to the appearance of the causal monster," Taoist Qingxu said with great emotion.

It was only because the saint had the evil intention of re-refining the earth, water, fire and wind during the great calamity of the Conferred Gods.

And this trace of malice fell into the sea of ​​suffering in the world.

It just so happens that it corresponds to the underlying chaotic causal set.

Thus, the "cause" for the birth of the causal monster appeared.

Then, a large number of causal monsters, almost natural monsters, evolved from this.

No wonder the causal monster is not afraid of countless immortals and saints.

It can even devour their own karma.

In a sense, causal monsters are part of the saints and part of the way of heaven.

In terms of rank, they are likely to be superior to most immortals and saints.

Only a few immortals and saints can match or surpass him in rank.

Taoist Qingning showed a serious expression:

"It is very likely that there are fragments of the Saint's Sword Qing in this world."

"In this case, those causal monsters will definitely not let this world go."

"Whether or not the 'cause' that gave birth to the causal monster has arrived here, our world is destined to suffer this disaster."

"That's right." Xu Qing nodded, "But there's one thing I don't know yet."

"Why did the fragments of the Saint's sword appear in this world?"

"In addition, the 'cause' that gave birth to the causal monsters also has causal monsters. What are they desperately looking for the fragments of the saint's sword for?"

“Is it just that like attracts like, just because they all come from saints?”

"It's not impossible." Taoist Qingxu thought for a moment.

"As for whether there are other reasons, we can't analyze it without other clues."

"Besides, it doesn't matter why." Taoist Qingxu looked at Xu Qing.

It has already happened, there is no need to look for the reasons why it happened.

Because no matter what happens, they will face the crisis of causal monsters invading this world.

Xu Qing understood the meaning in Taoist Qingxu's eyes.

I also realized that I was being too stubborn.

In this situation, there is no need to figure out why the causal monster is chasing the fragments of the Qingping Sword.

"I think what we need to pay more attention to is where in this world are the fragments of the Qingping Sword?" Qingxu looked thoughtful.

Xu Qing actually has some guesses about this issue.

Last time, he used the road of cause and effect to go to the Yuanfu Temple from the time of his master Taoist Zhen Qian, and accidentally uncovered the "cause" of the birth of the cause and effect monster.

At that time, it was aimed at the special heavenly space opened by the ordination ceremony.

If nothing unexpected happens, perhaps the fragments of the Qingping Sword are in that special heavenly space.

But he went there several times and didn't find anything.

I have even seen the "Cause of the Creation of the World".

But there was no trace of the Qingping Sword fragments.

Either there are other places in that special heavenly space, or the heavenly space is deliberately concealing it.

Xu Qing prefers the latter.

Because Yuanfu Temple held a ceremony to bestow ordination, the altar was opened to enter that special heavenly space.

I don’t know how many times this has happened over the years.

But the "cause" that leads to the birth of the causal monster has never appeared.

It is obvious that Tiandao hid the fragments of the Qingping Sword.

As for why the aura suddenly leaked out, leading to the birth of the causal monster.

Xu Qing had no idea about this.

I'm afraid even the true identity of Patriarch Xuanzhen is not very clear.

After Xu Qing and Taoist Qingxu chatted for a few more sentences about the trip to Leiyin Buddhist Kingdom, they gradually turned the topic to the celebration meeting.

Taoist Qingxu pondered for a moment and said:
"The celebration meeting for Jingxuan is already being arranged in full swing."

"But since you just made a breakthrough, let's do it this time, right?"

"This is great!" Elder Qingzheng's eyes lit up.

Two disciples from one school broke through to the seventh level within just a few months.

This is absolutely unprecedented at any time and anywhere.

Elder Qingzheng is not a vain person.

But Jingxuan's celebration meeting is already being prepared.

It’s a good opportunity to bring Jingdu in as well.

By then, two top humans of the seventh realm will make their appearance, and Yuanfu Temple will surely leave a strong mark in the thousand years of history to come.

"Yeah, it's just the right thing to do. Jingxuan's affairs have already been arranged, so it doesn't matter if there's one more person."

Taoist Qingning stroked his long beard with a kind smile.

"In that case, let's expand the scale of Jingxuan's celebration meeting."

Taoist Qingxu made the final decision.

Even if Xu Qing wanted to refute, he didn't have the chance to interrupt.

But he didn't think of refusing.

This is a good opportunity to put the matter on the table and have a good discussion with people from other forces.

"Master, if possible, I would like this celebration meeting to be held as soon as possible."

"I want to get this settled before I travel to the past again."

Xu Qing's tone was very solemn and serious.

"No problem." The person who answered was not Taoist Qingxu, but Elder Qingzheng.

When Taoist Qingxu learned that Xu Qing had broken through to the seventh level, he prepared to go into seclusion.

Therefore, all the affairs of the sect were handed over to Elder Qingzheng and others.

Of course, Jingxuan’s celebration meeting itself does not need to be arranged personally by the leader of a sect.

This matter is under the charge of Elder Qingzheng and Taoist Qingning.

Elder Qingzheng said in a relaxed tone:

“That’s not a difficult problem.”

"All personnel in the entire temple will be mobilized, and all wandering disciples will be recruited back as much as possible."

"After all, it is such a grand event, so it would be better for all disciples to return to watch as much as possible."

"We have sufficient manpower, so even if we expedite it, it won't be a big problem."

Xu Qing heard Elder Qingzheng mention that he wanted to call back all the disciples who were wandering outside.

I thought of Li Pingan and others.

They were still in the third realm, but he broke through again and became the seventh realm absolute in the world.

I wonder how they will feel when they receive the news.

"Then I'll have to trouble Senior Brother Qingzheng and Senior Brother Qingning." Xu Qing bowed.

"It's okay, it's just my job."

Elder Qingzheng and Taoist Qingning both waved their hands and refused to accept Xu Qing's polite words.

"Master, there are still a few brothers. If there is nothing else, I will go back first."

"I just broke through, I need some time to consolidate my realm."

Xu Qing said goodbye and left. Taoist Qingxu, Elder Qingzheng and Taoist Qingning still needed to discuss some details of the celebration meeting.

After determining the details that need to be considered.

Taoist Qingxu waved his hand and said, "I'll leave the rest of the matters to you. I'm going to go into seclusion now."

Elder Qingzheng did not stop it, but just made a rare joke.

"Master, you are in seclusion at this time. Are you worried that your disciples will surpass you and are anxious?"

After all, both of his disciples have already advanced to the seventh level, the pinnacle of the human world.

It will take some time for peace to come.

But it is also a foregone conclusion that he will be promoted to the seventh level.

After all, she has a destiny with immortals.

With talent and hard work, it was only a matter of time before he was promoted to the seventh realm. All three disciples became the top of the seventh realm.

It is definitely a good thing, but it is also a huge pressure for the master.

In particular, there is Jingdu, a disciple who is completely unreasonable in his practice.

As the senior sister, Jingqing's cultivation has been caught up with and surpassed.

Jingxuan, the eldest senior brother, has also been caught up.

It is estimated that he will be left behind soon.

Now I am almost able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the head brother.

"What should I be anxious about?" Taoist Qingxu looked calm and composed.

"I have reached the end of this dead end. What else can I do except wait here for the end of my life, or make one last attempt to see if I can ascend to heaven?"

"Then why do you still want to go into seclusion?" Elder Qingzheng asked.

In recent times, Taoist Qingxu has been in seclusion frequently.

Although it is not a closed-door retreat, you can still come out immediately when something happens.

For example, when Xu Qing completed the fifth ordination, Jingxuan came out.

Taoist Qingxu was in seclusion at that time, but he could come out immediately if anything happened.

Since seclusion is useless, why bother doing it?

Taoist Qingxu snorted coldly.

"The current situation is special, and my cultivation level cannot be raised, but it is good to master more methods."

Put down this sentence.

Taoist Qingxu ignored Qingzheng and the others and went into seclusion on his own.

Elder Qingzheng and Taoist Qingning looked at each other.

There was a smile in his eyes.

They climbed the mountain with Taoist Qingxu, and walked together all the way in the years that followed.

We are the most familiar with each other, and many things are clear to each other without being stated explicitly.

They knew that the head brother was indeed anxious.

His disciples are so successful that the pressure on him as a master is a bit too much.

Taoist Qingxu, who had gone back to seclusion, finally stopped having a stern face.

He looked distressed.

"Alas, even if there is favor from the heavens, Jing Du's breakthrough speed is too fast."

Qingzheng and Qingning thought that he felt pressured because his disciples were so successful.

In fact, Taoist Qingxu had never thought about it this way.

Well, sure, maybe a little bit.

But more importantly, he felt that he was unable to protect his disciples.

As a master, you naturally have to protect your disciples from wind and rain.

But ever since Jingdu became his disciple, he has basically been growing up in a wild way.

He really didn't contribute much.

The success he has today is entirely due to himself.

It has nothing to do with his master.

I originally wanted to share more of the burden with Jingdu.

As a result, this disciple became the top of the seventh realm in the blink of an eye.

"Ah," Taoist Qingxu shook his head.

After Xu Qing left the headmaster's courtyard, he did not go back to consolidate his cultivation as he had said.

Instead, he went to the main hall of the sect altar, wanting to see the soul of Master Xuanzhen that was left in the sect altar.

He took three incense sticks and bowed in front of the portrait of Master Xuanzhen.

The portrait on the scroll turned into a landscape and pavilion painting.

Xu Qing flashed and entered the world in the painting.

Appeared in a pavilion among mountains and waters.

The wisp of spiritual life left by Patriarch Xuanzhen in the sect altar was drinking in the breeze from the pine forest.

Not like the Taoist disciples who practice seclusion.

He seems more like a bohemian drinker or a scholar.

"What do you want to ask me this time?" Patriarch Xuanzhen threw the wine jug in his hand over.

"Try it. The wine made by the wine bug is much better than ordinary wine."

Xu Qing did not refuse and took a sip.

Very good indeed.

He doesn't drink much, but even those who don't know much about wine can tell that this is a good wine.

Xu Qing didn't waste any words and went straight to the point and stated what he wanted to ask.

The wisp of soul left by Master Xuanzhen in the sect altar was able to appear in that special heavenly space.

Maybe I have some knowledge of that place.

However, after hearing Xu Qing's words, Master Xuanzhen narrowed his eyes slightly.

As if drunk.

Xu Qing did not disturb him and waited quietly by the side.

"So that's how it is." Patriarch Xuanzhen seemed to sober up.

He opened his eyes, stood up, and looked at the distant mountains.

"You won't get an answer to that question from me."

"Before this, I didn't know that the fragments of the saint's sword were hidden in that special heavenly space."

"I can enter that special heavenly space."

"One is because of the relationship between the ontology and the Way of Heaven."

"Second, it's because of you."

"Me?" Xu Qing thought about it for a moment and then realized it.

"Do I need you to lead me to the Cause of Creation of Heaven?"

"Yes." Grandmaster Xuan Zhen nodded, "This is the mission that Heaven has entrusted to me."

"In other words, I am just a guide and a ferryman."

"You can't even say that."

"The understanding of that special heavenly space."

"I'm actually no less than you."

"Haven't you made any discoveries?" After listening to this, Xu Qing took a sip of the sake in the pot leisurely.

If nothing is found.

The image of Master Xuan Zhen just now was not that one.

He believed that Master Xuanzhen must have some clues.

Patriarch Xuanzhen chuckled upon hearing this.

"I can't really hide it from you."

"But it's true that it is true, and it's not true that it is not true either."

Xu Qing did not respond, just waiting for Master Xuan Zhen to continue.

Patriarch Xuanzhen did not speak immediately.

Instead, he remained silent for a long time.

Xu Qing was not impatient, as if he could wait no matter how long Master Xuanzhen remained silent.

After a long while, Master Xuan Zhen finally spoke:
"Don't you think the Heavenly Dao in our world is a little too active?"

Xu Qing had this idea a long time ago.

He always felt that the laws of nature in this world seemed to have consciousness.

When it comes to matters involving causal monsters, you meddle a bit too often.

To this world, causal monsters are indeed pests.

But the way of heaven should act according to a certain procedure, without any emotions.

Even when faced with a world-destroying disaster, one should not show such an obvious will to resist.

Because to the Way of Heaven, birth and death are also a natural phenomenon in the operation of the world.

If we compare the world to a tree, the causal monsters are pests that fly in from somewhere else.

The world can resist, for example by developing certain pheromones that attract natural enemies of pests.

This is how Xu Qing's new magic talisman came about.

But no matter what, the tree will never attack the pests itself.

But the way of heaven in their world seems to have a trend. (End of this chapter)
