The Great Way to Truth, Starting from Jiazi Laodao

Chapter 129: The True Lord is in a coma, the Three Arrows Book
Fuguang Mountain, Chaohui Hall.

The sound of Tao is heard everywhere, principles are intertwined, and the charm of Tao is everywhere.

On the cloud bed, Zhenjun preached from the simple to the profound.

On the futon, everyone was listening with fascination.

But soon some disciples or spirit beasts could not keep up, felt exhausted, gritted their teeth and held on, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

More and more people felt dizzy and dazed, and fell into a deep sleep without realizing it.

Even the True Men in the Inner Hall began to fall behind, but they did not fall asleep. They found that the content was becoming increasingly difficult to understand. When it was beyond their comprehension, they gave up decisively, took gains and losses in stride, and began to take advantage of the superior environment, either silently practicing their magical powers or meditating to comprehend what they had gained.

At first it was Zhenren Zhoutian, then Zhenren Xiantian, then Zhenren Jindan, and finally ordinary Zhenren Shengtai couldn't hold on any longer. Only Zhenren Xuanming and Great Zhenren Xianyue were left, and even Zhenren Chaotun, the head of the Xuri Sect, was forced to withdraw.

Seeing that Xuanming was on par with the Great Immortal Xianyue, with equal levels of Taoism and even better comprehension, the other Immortals were surprised, but then they thought it was natural.

After all, this immortal had killed an evil dragon that was wandering on the water. Even though the dragon was already crippled, it was not something that an ordinary saint could kill. His strength can be seen from this. There are also immortals who think that this immortal Xuanming is worthy of his reputation and has extraordinary comprehension. No wonder he has reached such a level of practice after only ten years of cultivation.

At this moment, all the Immortals were sincerely convinced of Xuanming. Even those who had some resentment or jealousy in their hearts before, now let go of their worries and looked at Xuanming with a hint of awe and admiration that they had not even noticed.

Xuanming was unaware of all this. He was aloof from the world and devoted himself to listening to the teachings and understanding the Dao. He absorbed wisdom from the teachings of the True Lord and used them to nourish his own Dao. His Dao improved slowly like a mountain of sand and stone; it was slow but steady, ensuring stability and improving quality.

He could see the Dui Lian Shen more and more clearly.

He saw the great way more and more clearly.

He had a more thorough understanding of Hunyuan.

In Taiji Heaven, a towering Taoist mountain rises from the ground, overwhelming all the other Taoist mountains. The entire world becomes more mysterious and spiritual. The sun shines brightly in the sky, temporarily overshadowing the bright moon. Taiji Heaven ushers in a rare daytime.

After three days and three nights, the sound of Tao gradually became smaller and finally inaudible, and slowly stopped. Xuanming and Great Master Xianyue woke up from that mysterious state. The Great Master of Shuiyue Temple took the initiative to nod and smile at Xuanming, and Xuanming also nodded and smiled in return.

The snoring sound came, and the immortals looked up and found that Chaoguang Zhenjun had actually dozed off. They were surprised, but also couldn't help laughing. Chaotun Zhenjun felt a little embarrassed and felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. He moved his butt uncomfortably and whispered, "Brother!"

When Master Chaoguang woke up, he found himself sleeping in public, especially in such an important occasion as a sermon. He felt uncomfortable in his heart, but did not show it on his face.

The Taoists all stood up, bowed and expressed their gratitude. True Lord Chaoguang nodded and smiled, encouraged them with a few words, and then ordered them to leave.

The banquet for the True Lords came to an end, and all the True Lords said goodbye one after another and went their separate ways. Xuanming rode on the spiritual deer Changshou and went down the Fuguang Mountain. Before leaving, the great True Lord Xianyue personally delivered an invitation to him, inviting him to attend his own banquet for the True Lords, which would be held in early spring next year.

Xuanming took it and agreed immediately.

Listening to the True Lord's teachings will do him good and no harm.

Time flies like flowing water, and the fleeting years are hard to catch up with. After returning from Fuguang Mountain, Xuanming often lived in Fuyun Mountain and never went out again. In addition to digesting what he had learned from listening to the teachings, he resumed his previous practice rhythm: reading the scriptures to understand the Tao, sitting and forgetting the clouds, honing his supernatural powers, and taking care of his spiritual roots...

In addition, he also had one more daily task, which was to study the manta rays. This strange bird-fish hybrid species was rare, which reminded Xuanming of the legendary Kunpeng. He wondered if the two were related. If not, it would be fine. If so, would Fuyun Mountain have another Kunpeng in the future?
Of course, this is just Xuanming's idea. It would be best if it exists, but he would not force it if it does not exist. He observed the stingray and understood the feng shui of the fish:
Birds are wind, fish are water, one is sky, one is earth, one is up, one is down, the earth's energy gives birth to all things, the heaven's virtue nurtures all living things. Feng Shui is the way of the unity of heaven, earth and man. Man follows the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature.

Specifically, Feng Shui is about Qi, and it emphasizes the storage of wind and the gathering of Qi. Different Feng Shui have different flows and forms of Qi. Qi is divided into Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, and Feng Shui also has this division. To some extent, Feng Shui and Hunyuan have many similarities...

It was late autumn, and the red and yellow colors of Fuyun Mountain were even more intense. The red leaves looked like fire, and the yellow leaves looked like gold. In the Sutra Library, Xuanming put down the sutra in his hand, stood up, stood in front of the window, looked into the distance, and admired the mountain scenery in the distance.

After a cup of tea, he wanted to continue reading the sutra. Just as he sat down, he suddenly let out a light exclamation. A beam of light was rushing towards the Qiuzhen Temple madly. In the blink of an eye, it passed Fuyun County and arrived at the foot of Fuyun Mountain.

He retracted his light and revealed his figure. It was the Jindan Zhenren of the Rising Sun Sect who had led Xuanming. He stepped onto the mountain and said as he walked, "Zhao Zhang of the Rising Sun Sect has come to ask to see Daoist Xuanming. I beg you to show up and see me."

The shouting shook the mountains and forests, startling a large number of birds. Xuanxu was stunned, Xuansu was curious, and they all looked towards Zangdao Peak. Since they wanted to see their senior brother, they would naturally follow his opinion. They just supported him and made their attitude clear.

In the Sutra Repository, Xuanming put down the scriptures and did not leave immediately. He silently calculated the causes and consequences of Zhenren Chaozhang's visit here. After discovering a fog, he guessed that it might be related to Zhenjun Chaoguang. There are not many things in this world that can stop him from calculating, Zhenjun Lianshen happens to be one of them.

After shouting three times, Xuanming moved, took a step forward, and disappeared in an instant. When he reappeared, he was in front of Master Chaozhang. Seeing this, the latter immediately bowed his head and saluted. When Xuanming returned the salute, before asking about his purpose, Master Chaozhang said anxiously:

"I beg you, Daoist Xuanming, to accompany me to Fuguang Mountain. The situation is urgent. I will explain the specific reasons on the way."

Looking at Master Chao Zhang who bowed all the way without raising his head, Xuan Ming did not reply immediately. He considered silently for a few breaths before nodding and agreeing. Master Chao Zhang's anxiety did not seem fake. From this, it seemed that something had indeed happened in Fuguang Mountain.

Seeing Xuanming agreed, Zhenren Chaozhang was overjoyed. Without saying much, the two Taoists immediately performed escape techniques and left Floating Cloud Mountain.

Fuguang Mountain is still majestic, with beautiful mountains and rivers and lush spiritual roots, but the whole mountain is covered with a layer of haze. The mountain protection formation is always in operation. When you step into the mountain, the immortals lead their disciples to patrol and are on high alert.

At the highest peak of Fuguang Mountain, in the Minguang Hall, when Xuanming arrived, in addition to the True Man Chaotun and the Great True Man Xianyue who were personally in charge to guard the sleeping True Lord Chaoguang, there was also a young man wearing a star robe and cloud-climbing boots, with three-dimensional facial features and a handsome appearance.

Xuanming felt a pressure from him, which was stronger than the feeling he felt from Master Chaoguang. There was no doubt that the strange man in front of him was a great spiritual practitioner.

As he expected, after the introduction by Chao Tun Zhenren, the young man was indeed a master of spiritual practice. After Xuanming paid his respects to him, Chao Tun Zhenren explained, "Brother, since you became a master of spiritual practice, you have often felt sleepy. At first, I thought it was because you were too eager for success, which led to an unstable foundation. If you comb and polish it carefully, you will be able to return to normal.

Until recently, when he saw that his brother was falling asleep more and more frequently and for longer and longer periods of time, he felt something was wrong. After searching without success, he specially invited Tianxuan Star Lord from the Tiandi Temple in Daxuandu City.

The Star Lord recognized that his senior brother was hit by the Three Arrows Book with Nail Heads, which is a strange and unpredictable curse secret technique. One needs to prepare a small straw puppet, a bow and arrow, and three lamps, and then cast the curse in the form of bow and arrow, with the arrows piercing the straw puppet.

When used in conjunction with the Arrow Book, one arrow is fired every twenty-one days. When the third twenty-one days are exhausted, one can take a person's life in a foreign place, kill people without being seen, and disperse the spirit of the person who has been hit by the technique. It is insidious, vicious, treacherous and hard to guard against. Even a True Lord Lianshen may fall into its trap and be powerless to save himself.

Even with the power of the Star God, he is unable to figure out who is plotting behind the scenes, nor can he figure out where the altar and the straw puppet are. He guesses that the caster might be an unknown master of spiritual cultivation. In desperation, he can only use the method of star calculation to find a glimmer of hope for his brother. There are only two places in the entire Great Xuan Divine Dynasty that can save his brother, one is the imperial capital, and the other is Floating Cloud Mountain.

The imperial capital is far away, and it will take too long to go there, and I am afraid something might happen. I can only seek help from nearby. I hope that Daoist Xuanming can help me. The whole Xu Ri Sect will be grateful to Daoist Xuanming."
