Chapter 152 151. The Discipline in the Scroll and the Red Book of Chaos
In the main hall, in front of the altar.

Taoist Qingning and the other three elders stared at Xu Qing closely. Suddenly, they saw his eyelashes trembling, as if he wanted to open his eyes.

"Are you going to wake up?"

Elder Jingyan raised his head, his eyes penetrating the beams of the hall and looking up at the sky.

Unfortunately, the heavenly tribulation did not appear in this world, but in the heavenly space.
Except for a trace of aura at the beginning, it completely disappeared from their perception afterwards, so they could only make a rough judgment based on the changes in Xu Qing's aura.

Under the gaze of the crowd,
Xu Qing slowly opened his eyes, and a trace of imperceptible lightning flashed across his eyes, then quickly disappeared.

When Taoist Qingning and the other three elders saw Xu Qingsheng waking up, they couldn't hide the joy on their faces.

The three of them have been practicing for hundreds of years, and their emotions rarely fluctuate so drastically. But today, because of Xu Qing, they had several emotions in a short period of time.

Xu Qing let out a long sigh of relief.

"Junior Brother Jingdu, how is it going? Did you succeed in obtaining the talisman?"

The ordination ceremony that took place on Xu Qing this time was full of twists and turns, and the various changes were beyond the scope of the records in the temple. Elder Jingyan was unable to confirm whether Xu Qing had successfully obtained the ordination.

"Disciple has successfully obtained the certificate." Xu Qing raised his eyes, met three concerned gazes, and said slowly.

He, Elder Jingyan and Elder Jingyuan are all of the "Jing" generation, so logically they are of the same generation, so Elder Jingyan calls him "Junior Brother".

However, the gap between their realms of cultivation was huge, and they were currently in a dharma ordination ceremony, with Elder Jing Yan being one of the three masters presiding over the ceremony.

But he was a disciple, so when facing Elder Jingyan, he still called him "disciple".

"good!"

The three elders were overjoyed when they heard this.

"What kind of scripture is it?" Elder Jingyuan asked hurriedly.

Xu Qing replied: "It is the Supreme Righteous One Yuanming Chaos Red Talisman."

"It's the Tai Shang Zheng Yi Yuan Ming Chaos Red Talisman." Elder Jing Yan's eyes were shining with surprise. It was the same sutra that the sect leader had chosen before.

This sutra has little effect on fighting and training weapons.
However, it is of great benefit to the daily practice of the Qi Refining Realm, and can make the Yuan Qi of the talisman sect disciple who holds this talisman far more profound and faster in recovery than others.

"Good good."

The three elders of Qingning Taoist Temple felt relieved when they knew that Xu Qing had obtained the Taoist talisman.

As for other things, such as what the test was, why the heavenly calamity came, etc., no one asked more questions.

After all, Xu Qing's master is the head of the sect. He was the first one to be ordained with all thirty-six sutras and his cultivation is also very high. If there are any problems, it would be more appropriate for them to communicate between master and disciple than to let them know.

"Now that you have obtained the certificate, burn incense and offer sacrifices." Elder Jing Yan said.

"Yes!"

Xu Qing lit three more incense sticks, facing the statues of the Three Pure Ones and the immortals in front of the altar, as well as the portraits of the ancestors of the past, and chanted:

"I, the disciple of the Dharma, am Jingdu, destined to be reborn by the North Star Lord. I have always been summoned by the Lord. I now respectfully send incense and letter to become the disciple of the True Man Qingxu.

I beg to receive the Great Supreme Righteous One Yuanming Chaos Red Talisman,

The real officials in the record wear formal attire and show their respect to people. After receiving it, I must follow the rules and regulations and must not violate them. If I violate them, I will be punished by the underworld and will act according to the law."

Different sutras and talismans have different prayers, which will be learned naturally when the talisman practitioner is ordained.

Xu Qing finished speaking.

Elder Jing Yan looked serious and spoke in a clear voice: "Today, I will teach my disciple 'Jing Du' the Great Three-Five-Du Gong Sutra and the 'Great Righteous One Yuanming Chaos Red Sutra'. I hope you will guard against arrogance and impatience and keep practicing."

"Disciple will remember this!" Xu Qing bowed.

So far,

The ordination practitioner completed the ordination ceremony in a calm and steady manner.

Xu Qing's face showed a little more joy.

Only by becoming a Taoist priest can one truly occupy a place in the sect and be qualified to go down the mountain and travel the world.

For example, outsiders usually call all Taoists "Daoist Master" out of courtesy, but Taoists who have not been ordained cannot be called "Daoist Master".

Now that Xu Qing has been ordained, wherever he goes, he can be respectfully addressed as "Taoist Master" by others.

Today's ordination ceremony finally came to an end.

Elder Jing Yan glanced at Xu Qing, who had a somewhat happy expression on his face, and the other eight disciples who were still frightened, and spoke loudly:
“The so-called divine talismans and precious scrolls are produced naturally. Therefore, at the beginning of the Yuanshi Chiming catastrophe, when everything was in chaos, a mysterious aura formed in the air and formed a dragon seal. This was the result of the Yuanshi God’s spiritual transformation and the response to the aura.”

"The talismans and scrolls of my talisman school were originally bestowed by heaven. They are the true texts of heaven and earth and the spiritual messages of enlightenment."

"So, my fellow disciples, please know that the path to heaven is already under your feet. You just need to move forward step by step along this path."

Xu Qing nodded when he heard this.

The sutras and talismans are the Dharma.

After condensing the sutras, the "Illustrated Record of the Six Dings and Six Jias' Merits" in his mind has been integrated into the sutras, and many more talismans, spells, and magical formulas have been added.

"In addition, your sutras contain the precepts that you must abide by in the future. Once you break the precepts, the sutras will be destroyed, and your path of cultivation will end there."

"Be careful, remember!"

Xu Qing also learned this when he received the talisman. In addition to some precepts that all Taoist disciples must abide by, such as not committing crimes and not betraying their master, the precepts that each disciple of Yuanfu Temple should abide by are all in the talisman.

For example, the "Kaozhao Lu" (the law scroll held by the disciples of the Discipline Hall)
This talisman can suppress other disciples of the same sect, but correspondingly, the precepts in it are much more stringent than other sutras.

Only those who correct themselves can correct others, and only those who are upright, fair and just are qualified to judge the merits and demerits of others. Therefore, the precepts contained in the "Kaozhao Lu" are much more than those in other scriptures.

At the same time, once the disciples of the talisman school who hold the "Kaozhao Lu" violate the precepts in the talisman, the consequences will be much more serious than those of other scriptures.

In the mildest case, the Dharma talisman will be destroyed and the path of cultivation will be cut off; in the worst case, the body will die and the Tao will be lost.

Another example is the Tai Shang Zheng Yi He Tu Life-Saving Talisman.

This talisman can bless the water magic practice of the talisman sect disciple who is given this talisman, enabling the holder to make great progress in water magic and possess various magical powers such as controlling water, combing water veins, and manipulating water descendants.

Correspondingly, there are also precepts in the talisman to quell floods, treat disaster victims, etc.

The senior brother Yinshan in the temple is holding this talisman. In recent times, he has been traveling around every day to control floods and regulate the flow of water veins.

In addition, there is the "Nine Heavenly Soldiers Talisman", which has the magical power to command troops. The holder of the talisman also has the precepts to eliminate evil and rebels, and even defend the country.

So it is said,
The talisman is to discipline one's emotions, stop committing sins, cut off the root of evil, and give rise to the practice of Tao. From the ordinary to the holy, from the beginning to the end, one must first take the talisman, and then ascend to the truth.

Different talismans have corresponding precepts, and the holder of the talisman only needs to abide by the corresponding precepts in the talisman, as well as some common rules of Taoism.

For the rest, there are no taboos.

After Elder Jingyan gave his disciples a few final warnings, he led the other two elders and nine disciples who had been ordained to worship at the altar again, firstly to respectfully send off the Three Pure Ones and the immortals in heaven, and secondly to thank the ancestors of all generations for protecting their disciples.

After the ceremony, everyone can go home.

Xu Qing returned to his own courtyard.

The first thing he did was to look inward at his own body, and immerse his mind into the central dantian.

Originally, there was only the circulation of Yuan Qi and a wisp of Jie Sha in the middle Dantian, but now there was a square scripture shaped like a token.

The Great and One Yuanming Chaos Red Talisman!

Xu Qing carefully observed the sutra.

It can be seen that it is made up of real characters that are interconnected, intertwined and overlapped. It looks like a word but is not a word, and like a picture but is not a picture.

Xu Qing's mind moved.
The square, token-shaped scripture suddenly changed into a dark and deep "hole".

A strong suction force was generated in the chaotic cave, which sucked the Yuan Qi that was lingering in the middle Dantian and flowing endlessly into the chaotic cave. When it was exhaled again, the Yuan Qi became a bit thicker.

“Is this the effect of the Supreme Orthodox One Yuanming Primal Chaos Red Talisman, which allows the holder of the talisman to have a much richer Yuan Qi than other cultivators?”

Xu Qing's mind flashed: "It is indeed very useful."

With the blessing of this sutra, his speed of refining Qi will be greatly improved, and he will not have to worry too much about the consumption of Yuan Qi in the future.

In this way, there will be no need to calculate the time when driving the four guardian gods in the future, and the talismans can be used more freely.

In addition to this, Xu Qing plans to study in detail later what other blessings and powers the Tai Shang Zheng Yi Yuan Ming Chaos Red Talisman has.

现在
Xu Qing’s mind moved again.

The "mixed hole" quietly suspended in the middle dantian collapsed quickly and turned into a square, token-shaped scripture. Then it changed again.
It turned into a piece of paper that exuded a vast aura and was surrounded by heavy divine light.

As soon as this piece of paper appeared, a rhythm of the great Dao immediately emerged in the Dantian, shining brightly and brilliantly, evolving all kinds of scenes of the birth and death of heaven and earth, and infinite creation.

Flowers fell from the sky, and golden lotuses sprang up from the ground.
Accompanied by the grand sound of the Tao echoing in the middle dantian.

The six Dings and six Jias in Xu Qing's mind emitted boundless divine light, which fell into his middle Dantian, forming a formation with miraculous power.

Imprison all the strange visions and sounds of the Tao within the Dantian so that they cannot escape.

这 是
The Red Book of Chaos!

According to the legend, that book originated from the blue sky, its color was irregular, its style was tortuous and it was impossible to find out its details. Yuanshi Tianzun refined it in the Dongyang Pavilion, and it is a true text of supreme mystery!

wrong,

It is not the complete text of the Red Book!
According to records, the original refined Red Book of True Text had a total of 668 characters.

There are only less than a hundred characters on this page, which is a fragment.

But just a page of fragments can trigger all kinds of great principles and give rise to all kinds of grand visions.

The heavenly calamity that occurred after destroying the thirty-five sutras and dharma images just now was exactly for this fragment.

The appearance of such a divine object will inevitably attract thunder from heaven.

It’s just that the red book’s true text was transformed from his scriptures, so the heavenly calamity was naturally targeted at him.

Thinking of the heavenly tribulation just now, Xu Qing still felt a little frightened and worried.

The heavenly calamity brought down a total of nine violent thunders, each one stronger than the last. His twelve guardian gods fought to the end, but only managed to block eight of the thunders.

The last bolt of thunder that condensed all the remaining power of the thundercloud had the power to almost penetrate heaven and earth, but he was the only one left to resist it.

Fortunately, in the end, the Tai Shang Zheng Yi Yuan Ming Chaos Red Talisman in his body manifested this page of true text and absorbed most of the power of the heavenly thunder.

This allowed him to successfully survive the thunder tribulation and complete the ordination.
