Chapter 406: The Emperor of Heaven increases his combat power, and his great ambitions come to light(1/2)
No, this spirit in the coffin...
Really teach him?
Li Ping'an was quite surprised when he first heard the sermon.
He originally thought that the spirit in the coffin would take the opportunity to mess with his mind. At the very least, it would brainwash him. In serious cases, it might try to control his soul. And he had made a lot of preparations for this, and even prepared to fight to the death with the spirit in the coffin.
The plan to fight.
The battle between the mind and the heart depends entirely on oneself.
But he never expected it.
The lectures given by the Spirit in the Coffin are extremely pure. There are no private goods, no spiritual attacks, and no pollution. What he teaches is all the principles of the Tao, and it also contains a lot of true meaning.
It's just like the spirit in the coffin suddenly wakes up, reins in the danger, stops engaging in any conspiracy, and teaches his disciple well...
This made Li Pingan quite uncomfortable.
Gradually, the narration of the spirit in the coffin becomes more and more profound and mysterious, and it is no longer possible to explain and understand it in words.
Li Ping'an heard many sounds, such as bells and bells, war songs vibrating, summer cicadas chirping, and streams gurgling.
He was gradually brought into the realm of mystery and entered the door of mystery. He wandered freely between heaven and earth and all things, thinking about the eternal existence of heaven and earth, and thinking about the morning and evening of mayflies. He felt something in his heart but gained nothing. He was unrestrained and confused himself.
So I gradually sink into it and forget to leave.
The spirit in the coffin opened his eyes and looked at Li Ping'an, nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to talk about the great road.
The shadow of the Tai Chi diagram brings the situation here back to the Zixiao Palace.
Taoists Taiqing and Hongjun stared at this place, each stroking their beards, and then carefully compared the path of transcendence described by the spirit in the coffin.
What the spirit in the coffin said did give them some inspiration.
At some point, the preaching gradually stopped.
Li Ping'an was already sleeping with his head down, with a calm smile on his lips and frowning from time to time.
This is not sleep, but understanding the Way with all your heart.
After sitting quietly for three months, Li Pingan finally opened his eyes and woke up.
Being so lethargic is actually realizing and accepting the true meaning of the great truth revealed by the spirit in the coffin. It is similar to an enlightenment, and like spitting out lotus flowers from the mouth. However, this period of three months is better than hundreds of years of ordinary retreat practice.
Of course, what is more important is Li Ping'an's own understanding.
The spirit in the coffin originally thought that it would take at least a year for Li Pingan to wake up.
When Li Ping'an woke up, the old man transformed from the spirit in the coffin smiled and said slowly:
"Can we understand the meaning of transcendence? Can we understand the etiquette of spiritual practice? Can we understand things like immortality and origin?"
Li Ping'an sincerely handed over his hand and said seriously: "Thank you very much, teacher, for explaining the Tao. I have gained a lot of insights from you, and my Tao heart is quite happy. There are many enlightenments here."
"Let me ask you, what is detachment?"
"Being free and carefree, not bound by heaven and earth, not limited by body shape, not limited by existence or non-existence, not dependent on tangible heaven and earth but immortal in oneself, only then can one be transcendent."
"good."
The spirit in the coffin nodded slightly and asked again:
"Let me ask you, what is practice?"
"Forging oneself to create heaven and earth, leaping into beings to become immortals, taking materials from heaven and earth, condensing yin and yang and the five elements, forming one's own great path, and entering the realm of impermanence. This is cultivation."
Li Ping'an thought for a while and added:
"The essence of spiritual practice is to plunder the essence of heaven and earth for one's own use."
"good."
The spirit in the coffin nodded again and said slowly:
"All the ways here need to be experienced carefully by yourself. For now, practice here and don't think about other things."
"Thank you, Teacher," Li Ping'an added with a bit more respect in his voice, "This disciple has many responsibilities, so I need to take a moment to inquire about other matters."
The spirit in the coffin said: "You can make your own arrangements. The next class will be held in a month."
Li Pingan bowed his hands in salute, closed his eyes and concentrated, and his mind returned to the soul of the Lingtai.
As soon as his little soul opened his eyes, he saw the Faceless Man of Heaven holding a golden rod.
The two looked at each other in silence.
The Faceless Man of Heaven seemed to have returned from his daze, put down his golden rod, and groaned a few times.
"Your Majesty, he seems to really want to teach you how to practice."
"I also discovered that although I don't know why and my Tao realm has not directly improved, my understanding of the Tao and the world has improved a lot."
Li Ping'an's spirit raised his hand and rubbed his forehead:
"The more this boss behaves like this, the less sure I feel... Are there any problems outside in the past few months?"
"It's not a big problem."
The faceless man quickly reported:
"Your Majesty, please concentrate on your cultivation. The higher your strength, the more support you will have from Heaven.
"No major events have occurred in the world. All plans in the Kong-Mongolia Realm are progressing as planned. The Queen Mother of the West, Yaochi, has always been in charge of the Prime Minister's internal affairs.
"There is nothing else going on in all parts of Dongzhou. Two new temples of the Heavenly Emperor have been built. The favorability of the Qi Practitioners towards the Heavenly Court has increased slightly. In the past 100 days, Kongmeng Realm has received 67,900 Qi Refinement Practitioners, and more than 20% of them have stayed.
Practice in the Kongmeng Realm and the surrounding small circular world.
"The human race is planning to conquer the remnants of the demon clan in the small worlds.
"There is nothing else going on in the Western Continent. There is some turmoil in the Southern Continent, which is covered by the Juetian Formation. It should be caused by the civil strife in the Mortal Dynasty.
“The Inner Heavenly Spirit showed up six times, but most of them disappeared in a flash.
"Jie Jie has discovered twelve more small worlds hidden by the Western Cult. Yaochi has arranged for masters to attack them secretly and cut off some of the incense.
"In just three to five years, Pindao will be able to completely assimilate to Inner Heaven. However, those Inner Heaven Dao gods have escaped and are more difficult to deal with."
Li Ping'an nodded slightly: "As long as the overall situation is stable, I will practice here for a while longer, and I don't know how many classes there will be in the future. When I go out, I will sweep up the incense merits."
The faceless man made a bow: "Pindao will continue to protect your majesty's soul."
"Don't be careless."
Li Ping'an asked again: "Are there any big things outside heaven?"
"There have been several battles in Xuandu City."
Faceless Human said:
"The innate gods and demons who have been waiting outside the world for a long time have been rioting continuously recently, and more than ten great gods and demons have gathered outside Xuandu City.
"Taiqing has transferred many immortals who came with you...your father has also been transferred."
Li Ping'an:......
My father had just become a Golden Immortal, and he was going to fight against the innate gods and demons?
This is not a meat bun beating a dog, cough, isn’t this forcing someone to do something difficult?
"Don't let anything happen to my father."
"Don't worry, Pindao will take care of himself," the Faceless Man of Heaven sighed, "Your father is also Pindao's teacher. He has made a lot of contributions to Pindao's improvement, letting Pindao know how to use the weak to build the world.
Order can open the eyes of poor people and understand the true nature of human nature."
Li Ping'an couldn't help but smile.
He didn't talk much and quickly began to retreat.
In the next month, he would not only review the past and learn new things, but also ponder deeper truths, so time was indeed a bit lacking.
And Li Ping'an didn't expect that the first and second class of the spirit in the coffin would be...
Practical teaching.
…
Xuandu City.
Li Dazhi squatted at the corner of the city wall, looking at the chaotic and unclear clouds of gray outside the walls of Xuandu City.
Good guy, Master Xuandu has been fighting monsters here for these long years, right?
In the past few months, Li Dazhi has really opened his eyes.
He originally thought that the monsters in the prehistoric world were the four or five different monsters produced by the hybridization of demon clans. However, after several battles to defend Xuandu City, he realized that there were so many types of monsters in the prehistoric world.
There are no fixed rules in the Sea of Chaos, so the appearance of the innate gods and demons can be arbitrary.
Li Dazhi saw 'bacteria' that were tens of thousands of miles long - they looked like mononuclear cell structures and were covered with flagella;
I also saw a big-headed monster with hundreds of various heads, and one person could make hundreds of sounds;
There is also a lump of sludge that is sometimes solid and sometimes liquid like a strange variety;
