Shenren

Chapter 290 The Way of Everything
Since Qing Xuzi agreed, Shen Du was not polite, and went directly to the fourth and fifth floors to watch.

There are indeed a lot of Taoism and secret arts on the upper two floors, and Shen Du immediately got some complements.

In fact, the main reason why he came to the Qingcheng faction was that he was groping for the Nine-Character Sword Seal Jue, and he had already reached a bottle top stage. At present, he can only call out seventeen swords at the same time, and he has been unable to break through eighteen swords for a while. Bar.

Although he found another way, the sword he summoned has become bigger and stronger, and his spiritual power has become more and more abundant, and there are already signs of turning into a flying sword, but the eighteen-character sword array cannot be constructed yet.

The purpose of coming to the Qingcheng faction is to complete some Taoism. They want to call out eighteen swords and form an eighteen-character sword formation.

As for the 27-character sword formation and the 36-character sword formation... Shen Du has not yet had the strength to explore. He has already felt that the space for developing the nine-character sword seal is extremely huge.

This is also the strength of this sword technique.

On the fourth and fifth floors of the Qingcheng faction, there were indeed quite a few Qingcheng swordsmanship, and as he read them one by one, he knew more and more swordsmanship.

Shen Du felt that if he was given a certain amount of time, he would definitely be able to figure out the No. 18 sword and assemble the No. 18 sword formation.

While Shen Du was busy, a Tianshengmen shaman staggered out of the border of China, fled into the border of Vietnam, disappeared, and when he reappeared, he had already appeared on the high mountains of Nanyang.

This mountain is quite strange, there are many statues of evil gods enshrined on it, some have bird heads and human bodies, some have three heads and six arms, and some have no heads at all.

In addition to the evil gods, there are some statues of ghost faces all over the place, and the whole mountain exudes this kind of dark and mysterious atmosphere.

The wizard staggered and ran a few steps, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell on the mountain pass.

Then there was a loud bang from the mountain, and several people came out.

"Junior Brother Lu Hao?" Someone exclaimed, and hurriedly helped him up and asked, "Where are Junior Brother Lu Jin and Junior Brother Lu Yun? They haven't come back."

"Dead, they are dead!"

The wizard named Lu Hao was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and he reached out and grabbed one of the people by the collar, his eyes panicked: "No, don't go to Huaxia, don't go to Huaxia, they...they..."

After saying this, the sorcerer's eyes became hollow, and he gradually lost his spirit and strength.

"Junior Brother?" The man was startled, and he hurriedly took a look, only to see that the wizard's body was covered with wounds, several of which were fatal.

"Who is it? Who killed my junior brother?" A middle-aged man with a strong figure and a swollen face stood up, suddenly furious, and a flame burst out in his eyes: "Huaxia? Are you from Huaxia?"

Several other wizards looked solemn: "Brother Lu Jin has entered the third calamity of the eighth-rank Venerable, and he didn't come back after entering this time. Could it be that the Huaxia Daomen has become so terrifying after 100 years of recuperation?"

"This is absolutely impossible. I have checked, and the Huaxia Dao Sect has been very fragile in the past few years. Brother Lu Jin may have been plotted by them. Damn it!"

The middle-aged man with a fleshy face said coldly: "I need to find out who did it. Maybe the Huaxia Taoist sect is not as fragile as we imagined. This time, Junior Brother Lu Jin is just leading the charge. I didn't expect that it would be so frail." Encountered such a disaster, Lu Zhen."

"Here!" A young disciple named Lu Zhen stood up.

"You mobilize people to enter Huaxia for me to find out what's going on. Junior brother Lu Jin told me before he left that they would challenge several sects to see the details of Huaxia Daomen. The first challenge should be Qingcheng faction."

"Yes, this subordinate immediately transferred someone to the Qingcheng faction to check!"

"Proceed with caution, perhaps Huaxia Daomen is not as bad as we imagined."

The man nodded, and immediately turned and walked down the mountain.

Seeing him leave, the burly man said coldly, "Inform other people about this matter, I need them to be more vigilant, don't take it lightly."

"Yes, Sect Master!"

……

Although there were not many books on the fourth and fifth floors, Shen Du stayed there for three full days before coming out.

When he came out, he immediately found that the whole Qingcheng faction was much more lively, and strange Taoist priests appeared. There were not many people, only about 30 to [-] people. .

"Fellow Daoist Shen, you finally came out!" Qing Lingzi greeted him with a smile, "Do you need to rest first?"

Shen Du glanced at her and said with a smile: "There aren't many people here? You Qingcheng faction don't have enough face?"

Qing Lingzi nodded, and said with a slightly embarrassed smile: "Probably only half of the Taoist masters came, and most of them didn't come. Although Daoist Shen is quite famous, but for the real Taoist masters, he still doesn't like it." No matter what, the mere Tao Te Ching may not make them flock to it, as for our Qingcheng faction...it has been in decline for a long time, so please don't move the real masters."

Shen Du smiled and said: "Before I came, I thought that the Qingcheng faction was a well-known sect. But it seems that something is beyond my expectation. Forget it, as many people come as you want. I will Read it once, everyone, don’t take it too seriously. It’s a good thing to be able to realize something. But if you really can’t realize anything, then don’t blame me.”

"This is natural for us."

"Then let's go. I still have something to do, finish the reading early, and go home early!" Shen Du didn't bother to rest, he had already read almost the secret books of the Qingcheng School, and now he should go back to Yanzi Mountain.

As for reciting the five Tao Te Ching, Shen Du didn't know what would happen, but the holy words are holy words after all, as long as they are read out, it must be extraordinary.

In the square of the Qingcheng School, there were already many people waiting, Qingxuzi, Qingyangzi and others were there, Shen Du glanced over and found that there were some female nuns of the Qingjing School.

Shen Du didn't know many people from Taoist sect, most of them were from Qing Jing sect, Qingcheng sect and Longhu sect. Shen Du hardly saw other sects, so naturally he didn't know each other.

As for the disciples of the Qingcheng School...

Except for Jiang Chuyao, I don't know anyone else at all, but that's okay, Shen Du is too lazy to waste time, since everyone is here, read it early, harvest the god-man experience points early, and then go home early.

Of course, before opening his mouth to read, Shen Du still has some precautions to explain. He walked over and glanced at everyone, and said lightly: "The Tao Te Ching is the door to all wonders. The so-called Dao is the Dao of the universe. The way of nature. There is a sentence in it called Tao follows nature, so the Tao Te Ching contains the great mysteries of the universe, which is unfathomable. Although I only read five chapters this time, in order to avoid problems, if there is a body in the process, Those who are unwell, please leave as soon as possible, or turn your ears away."

A disciple of the Qingcheng School stood up and asked, "Will there be any problems after only five chapters?"

His face was serious.

Shen Du nodded and said: "Five chapters are enough. Tao is the foundation of heaven and earth, the source of all things. Each chapter contains great mysteries and great wisdom. Five chapters already include three thousand worlds."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a lot of discussion below.

Hearing the words, Qing Xuzi's face was serious, and he immediately walked over and said to the people below: "It's true, those with lower cultivation bases should not listen too much. If you feel unwell, please leave the venue as soon as possible."

Since this is the home court of the Qingcheng Sect, most of the people who came to listen were the disciples of the Qingcheng Sect. This time, Qing Xuzi called almost all the disciples over.

Shen Du waited for a while. Seeing that everyone was ready, he didn't bother to wait any longer. He needed to go back to Swallow Mountain in a hurry. Now he had left Swallow Mountain for almost half a month.

He picked up a Taoist book, let it go overnight, and then began to read it casually. For him, reciting the Tao Te Ching is no different from reciting other ancient texts. Basically, no preparation is required, and only one book is needed. You can read it.

However, what Shen Du didn't expect was that when he finished reading Chapter 1, the entire Qingcheng School suddenly changed.

A crazy surge of spiritual power came.

"Tao can be Tao, very Tao, name can be named, very famous, the nameless beginning of heaven and earth, the nameless mother of all things..." With just one sentence, the entire Qingcheng faction suddenly shook, there were several rumbling sounds, and the situation was dense, Thunderclouds and lightning flashed, and suddenly there were signs of heavy rain.

Everyone was stunned and suddenly shocked.

However, Shen Du did not stop, and the voice continued to ring out. However, even in the midst of thunder and lightning, Shen Du's voice was extremely loud, as if it could overwhelm all the voices: "Therefore, you can always see the beauty without desire. Always have desire Let’s observe its origin. These two come from the same place but have different names, and they are both called Xuan. Xuan is also Xuan, the gate of all mysteries.”

wind!
A huge gust of wind suddenly burst out in the square, and the whole square was thunderous, and then, drops of rain fell, and in the blink of an eye, heavy rain poured down.

Qingxuzi, Qinglingzi and the others were shocked, and hurriedly raised their heads to look ahead. Although it was said that it was pouring rain, dense thunder, and strong winds, the clothes on some disciples were not wet, and even the corners of their clothes did not move. .

Is this thunder fake?Is this squall fake?This heavy rain?

Qingxuzi reached out to catch the raindrops, but apart from feeling a little cold, did he feel any dampness?

How could this be so?
Then, Qingxuzi suddenly sensed something, and he couldn't help but turn pale with shock, an old and vicissitudes of life emerged, before his eyes, the Qingcheng faction disappeared, and he suddenly found himself in a barren field, and there was thunder in the field Lightning flashes, heavy rain pours.

During the heavy rain, he only saw that all kinds of plants and animals in the field were changing crazily. Some seedlings grew taller, some towering trees aged and collapsed, and some animals grew crazily. , and then grow old like crazy.

All the mirror images in front of him were like watching a fast-forward movie, fast and direct, but a wild, ancient and vicissitudes of life pressed down on his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe.

This is the Tao?
The way of all things?

The origin of the world?The great mystery of the universe?

Yes.

Tao Te Ching talks about Tao, which is the Tao of plants and the Tao of all things.

But what shocked Qing Xuzi was that only one chapter of the Tao Te Ching could create such an illusion, so what about the 81 chapters?

How terrifying is the Tao Te Ching.

At this time, he seemed to have entered a fantasy, a fantasy that made him unable to wake up. Suddenly, he saw himself born, grew up, aged, and turned into nothingness.
