The Heavens: From Knowing Whether You Rule the World

Chapter 138 Jade Bi enlightens the Tao! (5k big chapter)

The morning bell sounds long and deep.

"Chirp!"

The sound of a phoenix's cry could be heard from afar, shocking the pilgrims at Tianyin Temple and causing a faint rumble.

Chu Hong's figure flashed and landed at the foot of Mount Xumi.

"Since you are asking this specifically, you should be sincere. Let the yellow bird take you up the mountain, and I will walk up slowly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Hong waved his hand, and the yellow bird immediately flew to the top of Mount Xumi and the Great Hall.

Watching the group walk away, Chu Hong's Qi cultivation moved, and his unparalleled Taoism seemed to pass through Tianyin Temple, leaving a faint trace.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

An extremely powerful aura flashed by, and the bell of Tianyin Temple rang loudly. The temple bell rang 9981 times in a row, and the sound was endless and echoed melodiously.

Chu Hong walked towards the white jade steps slowly and calmly. His aura of cultivation gradually weakened. When he reached the first jade step, his aura was so weak that he was almost like that of an ordinary person.

level one!
Level three!

Level ten!

Hundred steps!

Chu Hong walked up slowly, neither hurried nor slow, and every move he made was full of piety.

However, compared to ordinary pilgrims, he is a little different.

When he stepped onto the first step, Chu Hong's aura rose slightly, similar to the first level of Yuqing.

When reaching the third level, the aura is similar to that of the second level of Yuqing.

When reaching the tenth step, the aura is similar to that of the third level of Yuqing.

In this way, the breath gradually rises and continues to accumulate.

In Xiaotianyin Temple, Master Puhong, who had been meditating, slowly opened his eyes and clasped his hands together.

"Amitabha!"

Before the Buddhist verses were finished, golden light flickered and the person had already arrived at the main hall.

As the head of Buddhism and Taoism in the world, the Main Hall is extremely majestic and tall, with thirteen jade pillars rising into the sky, more than ten feet high.

At a glance, thousands of temples and palaces are clustered together, magnificent and golden, with carvings of dragon heads and auspicious beasts everywhere in various shapes and lifelike forms, which cannot be compared with ordinary temples.

Such a solemn and holy place of Buddhism should be quiet and solemn.

But in the Great Hall of the Buddha, there were countless mortals holding incense sticks, kneeling and worshiping the Buddha. Inside and outside the hall, there were incense and pilgrims everywhere, and it was extremely prosperous.

Master Puhong arrived at the right time.

At this moment, at the edge of the Great Hall, at the jade steps, the two great monks Pukong and Pude came together, put their hands together, and looked solemnly at the young man who was walking slowly forward with a rising aura under the thousands of jade steps.

"That is, the Qingyun Sect's Chu Hong?"

Puhong's eyes were calm, with a hint of surprise flashing across them.

He was in meditation when he was awakened by a neutral and peaceful breath.

At this glance, it turned out to be Chu Hong who broke into the Shangqing realm ten years ago?
"Master, two uncles."

The Dharma Image came over at the right time, clasped his hands together, and said, "During the trip to the Western Lake, Donor Chu Hong once killed the Black Water Mystic Snake with his sword and subdued the Nine Heavens Spirit Bird - the Yellow Bird. This time, he hopes to explore the path of Taiqing and see the wordless jade disk."

“Taiqing?!”

Pukong, who was always impatient, looked horrified, revealing a bit of disbelief.

The Dharma Image nodded and said solemnly: "Tai Qing!"

Pu De's eyes wandered, and he sighed deeply. The string of Buddhist beads on his wrist hung silently in the air, emitting a hazy glow.

It is really despairing to explore the path to Taiqing after practicing Taoism for less than twenty years.

With such talent, it is only a matter of time before he dominates the entire generation.

Puhong closed his eyes slightly, clasped his hands together, and stood quietly.

As the abbot, he usually does not express his opinions.

Pukong took a look and pondered for a moment. He, who was the most impatient, spoke first, "The wordless jade disk is what the founder of Tianyin Temple used to comprehend the Buddhist principles. The Mahavairocana Prajnaparamita also originated from it. Letting an outsider wait and see, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?"

Fashang took a step back. During the discussion between the three great monks, he could make suggestions but he could not interrupt.

Pude looked at the young man who was walking up the jade steps step by step, whose aura was almost reaching Shangqing. He thought carefully but did not express his opinion for a while.

After about half a quarter of an hour, Pude looked at him carefully and said seriously, "This person's talent is no less than Qingye's."

"So what? He is still a man of great stature."

Pukong snorted. How could the sect's inheritance be shown to outsiders?
Not to mention outsiders, even among the elders and disciples of Tianyin Temple, there are only a few who are qualified to see the jade disk without words.

Pu De was silent for a long time, and then said, "The inscriptionless jade disk has been observed by the great monks of all generations for countless years, but they still couldn't figure out anything.

Buddha has all kinds of appearances. If the ancestors have the Buddha's principles in their hearts, they will understand the Buddha's principles. If the donor Chu practices Taoism and understands the Buddha's principles, then he has a connection with the Buddha. Even if he does not understand the Buddha's principles, it is also a good thing. Buddha talks about having a connection, and also about establishing a connection!"

So clear!
Such a young Taiqing, who knows how many years he will dominate the world. Now he is looking for the most important opportunity to advance to Taiqing by finding the path to Taiqing.

This is a big investment!

"All right."

Pu Hong closed his eyes slightly, his expression calm, "Faxiang, you go and entertain the distinguished guests from Qingyun, don't be negligent. My two junior brothers, just wait for Donor Chu!"

The Dharmakāya's eyes moved slightly, he already knew the answer, bowed slightly and walked towards the courtyard where guests were received.

After Puhong finished speaking, Pukong and Pude knew that he had made a conclusion and stopped arguing.

The two men immediately put their hands together, saluted like monks, and waited patiently.

One stick of incense, the early stage of Shangqing!
Half an hour, the middle stage of Shangqing!
One hour, late Shangqing period!

Chu Hong moved forward step by step. His steps seemed slow, but in fact they were balanced.

When Chu Hong and Pu Hong were about a hundred steps apart, an incomparable aura flashed by, the peak of Shangqing!
Puhong slowly opened his eyes, his face was kind, he put his hands together in front of him, nodded slightly, "Amitabha!"

Chu Hong stepped forward step by step, his aura gradually becoming stronger and more peaceful.

Xiao Hui walked along the edge and slowly climbed up, breathing slightly from time to time. These stairs were really long!

When he reached the last step of the jade stairs, Chu Hong's aura suddenly went up another half step, becoming even stronger.

"Boom!"

The Ten Thousand Buddha Bells are ringing.

"Chu Hong from Qingyun Sect, I have heard of the great reputation of Tianyin Temple for a long time, so I came here to pay my respects."

The plain sound was not loud, but it just covered the sound of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Bell, allowing people to hear it clearly.

Pukong and Pude looked at each other in bewilderment. Even the abbot Puhong looked more cautious.

The Wanfo Bell is a large bell in Tianyin Temple that is struck daily to tell time, and it strikes once every hour.

The Ten Thousand Buddha Bell was originally just an ordinary magic weapon, but for thousands of years it has been wiped by successive monks and baptized with Buddhist teachings by the disciples who ring the bell. It is no longer an ordinary magic weapon.

Now, the sound of the collision could not drown out the young man’s calm voice.

How profound is such cultivation?

In Tianyin Temple, the top Buddhist temple in the world, I am afraid that only the abbot can barely reach this level.

"Amitabha."

Pukong and Pude chanted Buddhist scriptures with their hands, and their etiquette was not wrong at all.

"Amitabha."

The pilgrims saw the monk welcoming them, and they also chanted Buddhist mantras and put their fingers together.

For a moment, the sound of Sanskrit echoed throughout the palace.

"When a distinguished guest comes to your door, he will be welcomed from afar."

Puhong took a step forward, clasped his hands together, and held the rosary.

"Chu Hong came uninvited, I hope you can forgive me. I have never seen this master before, I guess he is the famous Master Pude?"

Chu Hong smiled calmly and politely, looking at Pu De who was beside Pu Kong.

Ever since Xiao Hui swallowed the Emperor's Dark Stone, his hearing and eyesight have greatly improved, and he could clearly overhear what the others were saying from a distance.

It was also smart and knew that the message should not be delivered too obviously, so sometimes it would quietly run to the steps not far in front of Chu Hong, pretending to be too tired and lying on the ground, but actually making gestures quietly.

As a result, Chu Hong knew the attitudes of the three great monks.

Pukong opposed, Pude agreed, and Puhong remained silent.

Pu De's eyes were bright and his smile made people feel friendly. "Amitabha, I am Pu De, a poor monk, and I don't deserve the title of great fame."

As he spoke, Pude clasped his hands together, smiling a little more.

Pu Hong smiled slightly, clasped his hands together and bowed, "Since you have come from afar, why not visit Tianyin Temple together?"

"Alright, thank you Abbot Puhong, the Divine Monk Pude, and the Divine Monk Pukong."

Chu Hong's eyes were clear and he smiled kindly.

To talk about things, you naturally have to find an opportunity, and seeing the scenery is a very good opportunity.

Puhong smiled even more, stretched out his hand, and walked forward slowly.

"This is the Mahavira Hall, the main hall of Tianyin Temple."

"From here, the Tianyin Temple is open to the public. It is truly a symbol of the compassion of Buddhism, saving the world!" "The Tianyin Temple was not open to the public in the past, but Brother Puhong believed that the Buddha is the Buddha of all living beings, not just one person. So, after Brother Puhong took over as abbot, the temple was opened to the public."

"Venerable Puhong is truly a person close to Buddha, with great compassion, great mercy, and great virtue!"

"This is the Small Xumi Mountain. This temple is open to the public. Although it has great merits, monks need to practice in peace and quiet, so some people move here to cultivate their minds."

"It is truly a holy place of Buddhism. The sound of Sanskrit is so loud that it is truly the holy place in the hearts of Buddhists!"

As they talked, the group walked towards Little Xumi Mountain.

Puhong, Pukong and Pude successively introduced some scenery and culture of Tianyin Temple, and Chu Hong was not stingy with his compliments and praised them highly.

Even Pukong, who usually has an impatient temper, was praised so much that his ears turned red and he smiled. Sometimes he would even take the initiative to introduce the proud features of Tianyin Temple.

Pu De didn't need much, he was always smiling, Pu Hong was calm and had a faint smile on his face as well.

When you do something, you naturally want to be praised.

The slightly red ears of the three great monks said it all.

Finally, Chu Hong's true intentions were revealed!
"Chu has been to the Ancient Cave of Ten Thousand Bats and the legendary Blood-Dripping Cave, where he saw the corpses of the Black-Hearted Old Man and Madam Jinling."

As soon as Chu Hong said this, the three of them immediately knew that they were going to discuss serious matters, and they all listened attentively.

"Back then, the black-hearted old man from the Blood Refining Hall killed people all over the world with a blood-sucking bead. However, the blood-sucking bead was extremely violent and cruel, and even the black-hearted old man was bitten back by it and repeatedly lost his mind. Even so, he gradually woke up."

As he spoke, Chu Hong took out a bell-shaped magic weapon, which swayed slightly, and the magic sound was resounding, making people feel slightly dizzy.

Pu Hong's eyes wandered, and he nodded slightly, "Donor, could this be the Hehuan Sect's treasure that has been lost for more than 800 years - the Hehuan Bell?"

"Exactly!"

Pukong and Pude looked at each other. Since there was the Hehuan Bell, it was 100% true that Chu Hong had found the Bleeding Cave.

Chu Hong smiled and continued, "The black-hearted old man is so crazy, but he is still awake. He must have obtained something incredible. What do the three monks think it is?"

"Something that reduces hostility?"

Pude guessed.

"No, it is a method to purify the mind. With this method, one can remain unmoved. Although the body is affected by evil spirits, the mind is not affected by them. One can calm oneself from the inside out."

When Chu Hong said this, Puhong's peaceful gaze moved slightly. Tianyin Temple also has many magic arrays and techniques to reduce hostility.

However, it seems that no spell is as amazing as Chu Hong said.

As for the evil spirit in people's hearts, the mainstream is actually to cultivate the mind, and spells have always been rare, let alone spells that are not affected by the evil spirit of the Blood-sucking Pearl.

If Tianyin Temple had spells of this level, Puzhi would not have been possessed by the devil.

Chu Hong smiled gently and took out the shortened version of the "Heart Purification Mantra" that he had prepared long ago from his sleeve.

"The Heart Purifying Mantra" is one of the rewards Chu Hong received in his previous life. It can make one's mind as calm as water, purify external interference, and free from thousands of constraints. The abridged version of "The Heart Calming Mantra" only retains the effect of making the mind as calm as water.

Even so, if one cultivates to a certain level and becomes extremely calm, one can theoretically get rid of any interference from hostility.

In other words, the body is affected by great evil, but the brain and heart are not affected by it.

"I finally came to Tianyin Temple and listened to the Buddhist and Taoist sounds, but I don't have any money for incense offerings. I'll use this spell as incense offerings!"

As he spoke, Chu Hong handed the spell to Puhong, his eyes were clear and his expression was full of sincerity.

Pukong, who was always impatient, immediately went forward to take a look. It was a piece of silk cloth, on which was recorded a spell called "Calming Mind Technique".

He quietly tried to practice the spell.

"The ice is cold for thousands of years, and all things are still. My heart is at peace, and I look to myself for the only spirit, and my mind and body are one."

After a little movement, my heart feels cool and calm as water.

Pukong's face changed slightly. He could tell the whole picture from just a small part. This spell was really suitable for Tianyin Temple.

This thing is amazing!
Puhong looked at Pukong's expression and already knew the effect, so he sighed slightly.

Donor Chu really knows how to deal with the people and the world.

He knew that Chu Hong would mention that he wanted to see the jade disk without words later, but Chu Hong gave him the "Calm Mind Technique" before looking at the jade disk without words, and he was very sure that it was for incense money.

In other words, "The Meditation Technique" is a sincere gesture, and no matter whether Tianyin Temple agrees or not, it belongs to Tianyin Temple.

And the favor of viewing the jade disk without any words will be counted extra!

If I give this spell when I mention the wish to observe the inscriptionless jade disk, it would seem like a transaction.

But they gave it before this, so they are really sincere!

"In that case, thank you very much, benefactor."

Puhong smiled kindly and accepted the oil paper.

If you eat someone's food, you will be soft-hearted; if you take someone's gift, you will be grateful!

Chu Hong saw this scene, his smile became wider, his eyes became clearer, "I have heard that there is a blank jade disk in Tianyin Temple, engraved with the truth of the world, I wonder if I have the chance to see it?
If Chu Hong sets foot in Taiqing, he will leave his thoughts on practicing Taiqing for Tianyin Temple and describe the path to entering Taiqing. And during his lifetime, he can agree to the three conditions of Tianyin Temple to the best of his ability. "

Taiqing enlightenment?

Puhong's eyes moved, and even he, who was always calm as water, was moved.

You know, in the thousands of years of history of Tianyin Temple, there has never been anyone who has reached the Taoist Taiqing realm.

This temptation is really great.

Oh no, my heart is too sincere!
In addition, the three conditions during one’s lifetime are also quite tempting.

Isn’t the purpose of investment to get returns?
"Can!"

Puhong agreed readily.

"Thank you, Master!"

"Donor, please."

Pukong opened his mouth slightly, floated up and down, pondered for a while, but did not jump out to stop it.

The offer was so generous and the other party's attitude was so kind that he couldn't bear to refuse.

The most important thing is that the inscriptionless jade disk has been placed there for thousands of years, and no one has been able to understand anything about it.

Since you cannot comprehend it, it is just an ordinary piece of jade, not a sacred object!
The inscriptionless jade disk is hidden in a secluded place in Mount Xumi, unknown to outsiders.

Pu Hong did not shirk his responsibility and immediately led Chu Hong to a cliff.

The area is covered with green mountains, with a gentle mountain breeze, protruding rocks, and strange shapes. There are cliffs and waterfalls falling from the sky, and the roaring sound is endless.

"May I ask, abbot, where is this jade wall?"

Chu Hong naturally knew that the jade disc was on the cliff, but he couldn't say it out loud, so he asked even though he knew the answer.

Puhong smiled, took a few steps forward, and when he reached the edge of the cliff, he pointed, "It's just below this cliff."

Chu Hong smiled, "Master, please."

The group jumped down immediately.

The fog on the edge of the cliff was a bit strange, tangled together like silk, and no matter how much the mountain breeze blew, it showed no sign of dispersing.

In the meantime, it was almost completely white and nothing could be seen.

In the valley, Puhong, Pukong and Pude stood quietly, and Chu Hong took two steps forward.

There was a faint sharp whistle in the sky, like the sound of wind or the howl of an animal, breaking through the clouds and mist. Immediately afterwards, a beam of dazzling light tore a crack in the thick fog and shone right on Chu Hong.

In an instant, there was a rumbling sound between the valleys, like thunder, and the sea of ​​thick fog suddenly began to surge.

The thick fog became thinner and thinner, revealing rays and beams of light.

The thick fog dissipated, the light shone down, and the world was filled with dazzling light.

The light faded away, and Chu Hong saw the legendary jade wall without words.

Chu Hong looked for a while, then sat cross-legged on a small platform.

Puhong and the other two looked at it for a long time and waited quietly.

A faint golden light slowly rose, and the faint sound of Buddhist chanting seemed to come from the sky.

The golden light circulates and the Buddha’s aura is solemn.

The Buddhist chanting became louder and louder, and heaven and earth were filled with solemnity.

Suddenly, there were signs that the power of the three heavenly books in Chu Hong's body was being affected.

A flash of golden light passed by, and the sky and the earth dimmed.

Winds and clouds rolled in from all directions, and on the smooth surface of the wordless jade wall, a row of large characters slowly appeared from top to bottom. Countless golden, ancient and difficult to understand fonts flickered and danced in the golden and red light of the jade wall like boiling water, dazzling the eyes.

Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as stupid dogs!
Chu Hong glanced at Pu Hong and the other two, but found that they seemed to be unable to see anything and were not paying attention to the jade disk.

Chu Hong was stunned. Is this the Buddhist fate?
The power of the three heavenly books vibrated, and the power of the four heavenly books resonated faintly.

Chu Hong's mind was empty, and some of the difficult and obscure aspects of his practice suddenly became clear to him. He breathed in with the sky and exhaled with the earth.

Forget everything!

Gasp, breathe deeply!
Countless strange howling and noises surrounded him, and all the energy in his body seemed to be boiling, like huge waves surging.

The four volumes of the Heavenly Book are intertwined, vibrating together, and catering to each other.

The true energy is turbulent and unstoppable.

The world is changing, and creation is mysterious!

Even though Chu Hong had extraordinary bones for cultivating immortality, his body suddenly felt lighter. The newly generated true energy in his body circulated continuously and endlessly, making his cultivation extremely enjoyable.

Until he regained his sanity and reached a special state.

He saw the Southern Xinjiang witch god
