Volume 1, Qingwei Cave Heaven, Chapter 241: Earthly Immortals established their halls in a similar way, and the words of the Dharma Assembly were astonishing!
At this time in the world, there are two ways for eminent monks and great virtues and high-spirited Taoists to open altars. ¡ù¡ù One is to hold a Dharma conference. Generally, outsiders who are not prophesied will not be allowed to attend this kind of Dharma conference. Because this kind of Dharma conference usually talks about two things, one is the secret cultivation method, and the other is the precepts. Both of these will not be revealed. It's natural for monks to listen to it. The other kind can also be called a Dharma conference, but it usually talks about worldly principles and stories from scriptures. And some easy-to-understand methods for practicing at home. To enlighten the world and encourage them to take the shortcut to goodness. The first type of Dharma assembly is usually held in a Taoist temple or some Taoist temple. The essential purpose of the latter kind of Dharma conference is to enlighten one's wisdom and transform one's stupidity. Therefore, it is natural to choose a place with a lot of people. The more lively the place, the better. And the place where the great sage Pingtian held his Dharma conference was right in the middle of the market, in front of the Zuihe Tower. Master Zixuan, the two monsters and Di Ting arrived at the place where the Dharma meeting was held, haha. Good guy, it¡¯s really a sea of ??people, surrounded inside and outside by people all over the place. A high platform was set up in the middle, and a high pillar was erected in the middle. A large flag was hung on it, with a few words written on it: The great sage Pingtian taught the marriage ceremony. At this time, the Great Sage Pingtian was not seen on the stage, but there were two boys standing on the stage holding fly whisks. Xiong Dahei frowned and said: "Master, we are late, we don't have a good seat, and we can't see clearly." Master Zixuan heard the words and smiled and said: "If you can't see clearly, then find a good seat. I Look at this restaurant, the tower is high, we should be able to see clearly if we climb up and look down. "The Zuihe Tower is six stories high, and it can really take in everything. It's just that the distance is a bit far, so I'm afraid I can't hear the sound clearly. But for Master Zixuan and Erguai, as well as Di Ting. Nature is not a problem. The four of them went up to Zuihe Tower, and there happened to be seats on the top floor. Master Zixuan ordered a seat outside, and the three of them sat down and ordered some pastries and tea. "Three guests, please take your time." The waiter brought the refreshments, but Shi Zixuan grabbed him and asked: "Little brother, I have a question." The waiter smiled and said: "What questions do you want to ask me? "Master Zixuan said: "I heard that someone is holding a Dharma meeting outside today?" The man smiled and said: "I know. "Master Zixuan asked: "I don't know what the origin of this great sage is." "I don't know, but there are always many masters here these days. To save people's lives and treat their illnesses." Master Xuanqi said: "Oh? There are many people?" "Of course." I heard that the Holy Emperor recently held a waterway ceremony. All practitioners come to participate. This is just like us scholars who take the imperial examination and win the first prize. Who doesn¡¯t want to get a good ranking? But some people have long been famous and naturally will not show up easily, but those who usually have a reputation that is not exposed to the public will naturally. I want to fight for my own reputation." Master Zixuan was happy to hear this. Said: "Man, you know a lot." The man said proudly: "That's right. I have seen many people like this in my hometown." Master Zixuan said with interest: "Oh? What is it? What kind of person? Let¡¯s talk about it.¡± The clerk said: ¡°There is an old lady in my hometown who is very capable. She claims that she can solve people¡¯s misfortunes. After entering the hall, no one wanted to believe him. So the immortal told several people who had serious diseases. , and the disease was cured. From then on, more and more people came to his home to ask questions." Master Zixuan nodded and said, "This is to show his faith." Xiong Dahei heard this. Ga Ga was delighted and said: "Isn't it just about curing diseases? Is it also a manifestation of Taoism? It's just some techniques of differentiating yellows. My second brother is the best at this." Master Zixuan said in surprise: "Oh? Zhang Qing, are you still here? Do you know how to treat diseases?" Zhang Qing nodded and said, "Because few monks like me can master the correction method, they will more or less practice some side sects. The snake fairy mostly treats people and cures diseases. The fox fairy mostly helps people to protect their families. As for the upper fairy, it is the purifier. , much stronger than us. "The Earth Immortal that Zhang Qing refers to is different from the Earth Immortal that practitioners call it. The "Earth Immortal" he refers to refers to those aliens on earth who have attained the Tao through cultivation, and generally they do not practice by themselves, but find predestined people to set up halls and use others to show their Tao. There are many such earthly immortals with different temperaments, preferences are also different. Some people who keep the precepts and provide medical services to people generally do not ask for money, but only ask for a few sips of wine and a few sticks of incense. "And some people don't keep the precepts and are not afraid of harming the Tao, so they have no taboos. They help others with good things and bad things, take people's money, and eliminate disasters with others. There are many such little immortals in Qingwei Cave Heaven. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? And the three precepts of walking in the world of mortals on land, established by the Patriarch during the Zhiyue Xuanguang Cave ** meeting, were established for these people. The Grandmaster has no control over the immortals in other dojos, but as long as they think they have come out of Qingwei Cave, they must abide by the precepts and not act recklessly. The guy from Zuihe Tower was speechless for a long time when he heard Zhang Qing and Xiong Dahei talking. Seeing this, Master Zixuan said quickly: "Man, everything is fine here. You can go down and do your work." The man scratched his head, looked at a few people strangely, then turned and left. Master Zixuan said to the two monsters: "When you are outside, you should say less about some things in the world of cultivation, otherwise it will arouse people's doubts and suspicion, which will be very wrong." When the two monsters heard this, they quickly said: "Master , we understand." Master Zixuan now intends to take this opportunity to give the two monsters a warning, but at this time and place, it is not the right time. At this moment, there was movement below. On the high platform, someone had already sat down on the high platform. But I saw that this man was neither a Taoist nor a Buddha, and he was wearing strange clothes. The robe looked like a Taoist robe, but it was a bright red rouge color and looked very fancy. Moreover, this man was extremely thin and tall, with a golden crown staring at his head. He looks more like a nouveau riche than a cultivator. Although Master Zixuan does not judge people by their appearance, looking at this person's attire, he should not be from the Buddhist or Taoist family, but from a different sect. As soon as this person showed up, the audience became noisy. The boy on the side quickly shouted: "The Great Sage is going to give a lecture, please be quiet!" This sound was really effective, and the people below stopped talking. The Great Sage Pingtian saw this. Smiling slightly, he said: "This is my third time in Yujing to give a lecture. There are many familiar faces below. It's great. Let me ask, why do you come to listen to the old Taoist?" There was a brave man below the stage. Suddenly he said: "Great Sage, I have heard of your two previous **s. I don't know why. I go to listen to Taoist monks' lectures on weekdays, and I feel confused and want to sleep. But after listening to your ** , I can understand it. After listening, I still want to hear it, and then I came again." Another person said: "Great Sage, you not only explain to us, but also give us medicine for my mother's eye disease for many years. I spent a lot of money and looked for a lot of doctors, but none of them looked good. I'll be fine immediately after drinking your medicine. I came here today to say thank you to you." Someone spoke. go along. There were many people. They started talking in a flurry of words. Most of them are praises and thanks to the Great Sage Pingtian. The Great Sage Pingtian listened. He seemed to be very happy and said with a smile: "I am very relieved after listening to what you guys said. Okay, okay, that's great. Those who can listen to me are all destined people. You can come here, listen. I**, no matter what the actual benefits are, or anything else, even if I gain happiness, it¡¯s not worth my time.¡± Everyone below burst into laughter. Master Zixuan in Zuihe Tower was slightly surprised when he heard this. Before coming here, he heard someone mention the name of the Great Sage Pingtian, and he preconceptionally thought that this person was probably a liar, but when he saw the person speaking, it seemed different. Di Ting lay on Master Zixuan's shoulder and also said: "This man seems to have some Taoism." Master Zixuan said: "Isn't it possible for the venerable sir to listen and discern people's hearts? Why don't you just listen and see?" Di Ting gave him a blank look. , said: "You kid, don't encourage me. I can do it, but this is not the Dharma Realm, but the world. If I eavesdrop, I'm afraid he will notice it and cause trouble for no reason, so I am too lazy to do it." Zixuan also replied: "Your Majesty, are you still afraid of causing trouble?" Di Ting laughed twice but did not respond. Next, I heard the Great Sage Pingtian say: "The last time I was in a Dharma assembly, someone always came up and knelt down and kowtowed to me. I was surprised at that time. I am not God, nor are you your parents. Why did you do this? I was curious, so I asked those people, why did you do this? Those people told me that if I helped them, they would kneel down and kowtow to me. It's very unpleasant to hear. I came here to form a relationship. This relationship is between you and me. We are both equal. I will pass on my teachings to you, and I will inherit them. I have to. Why are you doing this? And I¡¯m not a god, even if I am.?Gods, why do you want you to kowtow? " As soon as the Great Sage Pingtian finished speaking, the whole place exploded. Someone asked loudly: "Great Sage. What you said is wrong. " Great Sage Pingtian asked: "What's wrong with what I said? The man then said, "Why is it wrong for us to worship gods?" When we go to Taoist temples and temples and worship Buddha and Taoist statues, don¡¯t we all have to kowtow respectfully? And I have to say hello. " After hearing this, the Great Sage Pingtian shook his head and said: "No, no. No, no. You're not doing this well. Why worship them? They are for you to eat. Or provide you with clothing expenses? Let me tell you, if you want to worship, it is better to worship God, because God creates all things to nourish people. You might as well worship the land, because this land gives you space to live and grows food farmers for you to live on. If you don't worship heaven or earth, but worship those gods and Buddhas, what are you doing? " After the Great Sage Pingtian finished speaking, there was silence below. Many people listened and thought about it carefully. It seems that this is really the case!
