Chapter 149 148. The Supreme One Yuan Ming Chaos Red Talisman
Xu Qing looked at the various images around him that evolved from the scriptures.

The meaning and appearance are the most essential manifestations of the great Dao in these sutras.
Like the Taishang Zhengyi River Map Life-saving Talisman that takes the shape of a great river,
Any disciple of the talisman school who wishes to walk the water path among the mountains and rivers must possess this scripture.

Xu Qing didn't expect that.
He could actually summon down all the current types of scriptures.

Understand the formation process of the sutras,

He naturally understood that the number of scriptures and talismans that appeared not only depended on the qualifications of the talisman practitioner, but was also closely related to the practitioner's personal practice and understanding of the Taoist scriptures.

He practiced for a short time and usually spent more time on improving his cultivation. Only occasionally when he was resting would he take a sutra to read.

Therefore, his understanding of Taoist scriptures was mostly superficial and his comprehension was quite general.

As for the martial arts he practiced, "The Imperial Commands for the Six Dings and Six Jias", he had guessed before that it should correspond more to the general talismans and the evil-slaying talismans.

The fact that all thirty-six sutras were now available for him to choose from was indeed beyond Xu Qing's expectations.

What could cause this situation should be related to the twelve guardian gods of the Six Dings and Six Jias in his body.

That thought not only stirred up his understanding of the Taoist scriptures and the skills he practiced, but also the divine light emitted by the Six Ding and Six Jia gods.

Xu Qing's thoughts were all in a whirlwind.

However, he didn't know that when his eyes swept across these scriptures, the images transformed from the thirty-six scriptures seemed to be encouraged and flew towards Xu Qing.

After being surrounded by the image,

Xu Qing just came out of his thinking state.
He looked with surprise and doubt at the images of meaning that were gathering around him.

what happened?

Why did all these images suddenly gather around me?
And there was a hint of joy in his expression.

Xu Qing could clearly feel that
The images of meaning transformed from the thirty-six sutras surrounding him all conveyed to him the idea of ​​"choose me, choose me".

Xu Qing frowned slightly, with doubts in his mind.

Are these scriptures “alive”?

But something is not right.
The talismans and scrolls are all true texts and secret words, which are formed by the rhyme and principle of the Great Dao. Later, the Heavenly Dao conferred gods, and the gods and the Dao merged. The will of the gods represented the will of the Dao.

This led to the later method of "praying to the immortals to grant the talisman".

But in the final analysis, the talisman should be a "dead object" and should not have consciousness.

Moreover, the selection of scriptures and talismans is an active act of the talisman practitioner.

He watched the eight disciples receiving the ordination.

To use an inappropriate metaphor,

The other disciples were ordained after they actively pursued the cold goddess, constantly trying to please her, and finally, after passing the test, they successfully won the beauty.

But right now,
They were like a group of cold and aloof goddesses who were out of reach of others, fawning on Xu Qing, just to win his favor.

If other disciples knew this, they would probably shed tears of sadness.

Xu Qing couldn't understand why this change happened and could only attribute it to the Six Dings and Six Jias in his body.

At the same time, since Elder Jingyan, who presided over the ordination ceremony, did not say anything and did not terminate the ceremony, it means that this change did not have much impact.

The only problem now is,
He had to choose which sutra to be the first sutra he would teach.

This determines the blessings and power that one can enjoy, the corresponding type of natal talisman, and the focus of subsequent practice.

The scriptures are divided into five levels, corresponding to the five major realms of refining Qi, refining spirit, returning to the void, merging with the Tao, and Mahayana.

The five stages are:

The first level is the "Tai Shang San Wu Du Gong Jing Lu", referred to as "Du Gong Lu", which leads to the sixth or seventh grade titles;
The second level is the "Taishang Zhengyi Mengwei Jinglu", referred to as "Mengwei Lu", which leads to the fourth or fifth grade titles;
The third level is the Shangqing Wulei Jinglu, referred to as the Wulei Lu, which carries a third-grade rank;
The fourth level is the "Shangqing Three Caves and Five Thunders Scripture", referred to as "Three Caves and Five Thunders Scripture", which leads to the second-rank title;

The fifth level is the "Shangqing Dadong Sutra Lu", abbreviated as "Shangqing Lu", which leads to the first-rank title.

There is no distinction between the thirty-six kinds of sutras and talismans, but each kind of sutra has different blessings on the practitioners, different powers and fixed paths of promotion.

As far as Xu Qing knows,
The sutras and scrolls held by the disciples of the Discipline Hall are all "Kaozhao Lu" -

The first level is the “Taishang Zhengyi Kao Zhao Lu”. If one’s merits and virtues are sufficient, one can be granted the second level “Taishang Sanwu Zhengyi Mengwei Kao Zhao Lu”.

Going up, there are the third-level "Taishang Zhengyi Sanyuan Kao Zhao Secret Scroll", the fourth-level "Chishe Baozhang Sanguan Fuhua Treasure Scroll", and the fifth-level "Shangqing Sanyuan Jiantiandi Xianyu Scroll".
Each level of sutra corresponds one to one with the realm of cultivation of the person who practices it.

The higher you go, the stronger the blessing and power of the scriptures become.

For example, the blessing and power possessed by the "Kaozhao Lu" are related to "precepts".

Test and summon, test and summon,
The holder of this talisman can perform the magical powers of "testing" and "summoning", just like the officials of the Ministry of Personnel in the imperial court system, to evaluate the merits and demerits of other disciples.

In front of those disciples who violated the sect's rules,

The law enforcement disciples holding this "Test and Summoning Scroll" can use the "sect rules" to exercise the power of "test" to suppress the realm and supernatural power cultivation of disciples who violate the sect rules.

In other words,
The law enforcement disciples of the Discipline Hall have more advantages when dealing with other disciples than when dealing with demons and other cultivators.

Therefore, most of the law enforcement lineages of all the talisman sects hold this "Kaoshaolu".

If the first-level "Taishang Zhengyi Examination and Summoning Scroll" can be upgraded to the second-level "Taishang Sanwu Zhengyi Mengwei Examination and Summoning Scroll",
In addition to the original blessing and power enhancement, the power of "sealing" will be added on top of it -

A single word can mobilize the power of heaven and earth, and exercise the power of justice on behalf of heaven and earth, making all the mountain spirits and ghosts in the world shed their evil identities and become innocent.

Before Xu Qing was given the ordination certificate, he asked Jin Hujun,
Ask them which sutra should be chosen for this lineage.

Jin Hujun's answer was that Xu Qing could choose any one of them. Because the Wanfa Dao of Qingxu Taoist's lineage originally included all dharmas, the first Tai Shang Sanwu Du Gong Sutra did not need to be fixed to a certain type.

When the disciples reach the third stage of the sutras, through specific rituals and secret methods, they will be granted the unique sutras of the Wanfadao lineage.

Xu Qing didn't know in advance that he would be able to summon all thirty-six sutras and talismans, so he was interested in the "Tai Shang Zheng Yi Si Bu Jin Qi Lu" which was ranked twenty-first.

This talisman can use the Qi of the five directions to restrain naked insects, scaly insects, feathered insects, hairy insects, and beetles.

It is really useful in every way.

He has the Six Ding and Six Jia gods guarding his body and soul, making him immune to external and internal evil. He can also summon and drive them away to fight the enemies, so he prefers auxiliary scriptures.

On the contrary, he did not take the General's Talisman and the Evil-Slaying Talisman, which had corresponding blessings and powers in attack, seriously.

However, now that all thirty-six sutras have been summoned down,

He has a better choice.

Ranked sixth, the Tai Shang Zheng Yi Yuan Ming Chaos Red Talisman!

Xu Qing turned his gaze towards the hazy white mist.

Compared with the vast and grand meanings manifested in other sutras and talismans, the meaning manifested in this talisman is very ancient and wild.

However, although it looks ordinary, in fact, it contains infinite creation, including the laws of nature, the principles of yin and yang, and everything is included.

The "original life" is the original Qi. The life of the body cannot be born without Qi. If you use the Tao to strengthen your Yuan and the art to strengthen your life, your body, form, spirit and Qi will last forever.

"Chaos" refers to the state of being vast and boundless before the creation of heaven and earth and the separation of principles and earth.

And "Chilu" means red characters.

According to legend, there is a true text that originated from the blue sky, but its color has no fixed direction, and the text is tortuous and cannot be found in detail. Yuanshi refined it in the Dongyang Pavilion, so it is called "Red Book", with a total of 668 true characters.

When the Chaos Red Talisman is combined into one place, it becomes the Chaos Red Book.

The blessing and power of this talisman are simple, which is to help the talisman's student condense the Yuan Qi in the Qi Refining Realm, making the thickness and recovery speed of the talisman's student's Yuan Qi far surpass those of practitioners at the same realm.

For Xu Qing, this blessing and power is just right.

If his six Ding and six Jia were included in this sutra and used as sutra soldiers,

The divine images and scriptures are combined into one, and the two are superimposed. I think the effect of assisting the sutra-bearing practitioners to condense their primordial Qi will definitely be more prominent.

This is far more attractive to Xu Qing than the "Taishang Zhengyi Four Parts Forbidden Qi".

Determined your choice.

Xu Qing no longer hesitated and flew into the hazy white mist.

As soon as I touched it.

The white mist fluctuated violently, with Xu Qing as the center point, rapidly shrinking and merging into his body, leaving only wisps of smoke-like ribbons wrapped around his body surface.

When Xu Qing selected the "Taishang Zhengyi Yuanming Hun Dun Chi Lu" as his first "Taishang Sanwu Dugong Jing Lu",

The remaining thirty-five sutras were not gathered together and merged into one like the disciple named "Ning Ji".

Instead, they all emitted vibrating divine light and attacked Xu Qing together. They looked like a woman who had been abandoned by a scumbag and had turned from love to hate.

Faced with this scene,
Xu Qing was stunned.

What's this?

so.
His test is to solve the meaning of the other thirty-five sutras and talismans?

In front of the altar.

Xu Qing stood with his eyes closed. The thirty-six white light balls surrounding his body were suspended quietly. Thick smoke flowed to the ground, making the hall look like a fairy palace.

Everyone stared at Xu Qing silently, and Elder Jing Yan said nothing, neither urging or reminding him.

Ten breaths passed,
Xu Qing still didn't move.

Everyone thought that he might be overwhelmed by the choices and couldn't make a decision, but the next moment, the white light ball surrounding Xu Qing suddenly rioted.
It was radiating brilliant light, dazzling and astonishing auras were rising one after another.

The portraits of the ancestors hanging on both sides of the altar began to shake violently again, and the rustling sounds became one.

"This..." Taoist Qingning was surprised to see this change, and turned his eyes to look at Elder Jingyan who was presiding over the ordination ceremony.

Elder Jingyan shook his head.

The meaning was obvious, and he didn't quite understand this change.

After all, there are very few records of this kind of situation where all thirty-six sutras were summoned down in the temple, and each situation is different.

The sect leader relied on his profound and extensive attainments in Taoist scriptures, and was favored by Heaven and the immortals, which led to all thirty-six scriptures being bestowed upon him.

And no testing is required.

However, the disciple in front of him was obviously not like that. He had some kind of fortune that was favored by Heaven and all the immortals.

It is unknown whether this kind of fortune can exempt the Heavenly Dao and the Immortals from the test, and it is also uncertain whether the difficulty of the test will increase as a result.

Elder Jingyan looked at the portraits of the ancestors hanging on both sides of the altar, which were shaking violently at this moment. Now he only wished that the ancestors would bless the disciples of future generations.
