Zhao Ran worked hard all night and finally sorted everything out. It was already getting dark.
All the dignitaries and sects who were watching the ceremony came to the outside of Yuxu Palace under the guidance of Wudang¡¯s disciples. Yuxu Palace is located at the foot of Nanshan Mountain. Outside the palace gate is a huge bluestone square. Four to five hundred futons have been placed in the entire Qingshi Square. Each futon has a name and surname. The monks watching the ceremony sat in their seats, and the scene seemed extremely orderly.
The Zhangxian Tower refined by Sun Biyun was finally completed yesterday and was placed in place at the time of Chou. It stands on the west side of the Bluestone Square of Yuxu Palace. Zhang Xian Tower is nine feet high and divided into three floors. Each floor is an open structure, so you can see everything at a glance.
Each floor is hung with talismans, and a large array of talismans is arranged. There are many niches in the vertical beams. Some of the magic tools and magic weapons that Zhang Laodao uses on daily basis are in the niches, including purple gold bamboo hats, dragon sticks, Water-proof coir raincoats, Luotian gourds, etc. all have shining brilliance flowing on them.
These arrangements are not to help Zhang Laodao resist the catastrophe, but to protect Zhang Xian Tower and the monks watching the ceremony from being disturbed by the tribulation thunder.
The uppermost floor of Zhang Xian Tower is actually a platform. On the platform is a golden urn about ten feet wide and two feet high. This is the "coffin" used by Taoist masters to hold relics or physical bodies.
When high-level Taoists in the Hedao realm ascend, they usually have two states: either the entire physical body ascends together, leaving behind empty clothes; or only the Yang Shen transformed by Yuanying ascends, leaving behind the body.
Which method of ascension is used depends on the level of cultivation and the situation after enduring the catastrophe. In essence, Taoist heavenly calamity is the same as Buddhist nirvana, except that one is externalized in the form of calamity thunder, and the other is manifested in the form of inner demons. For example, the great monk Xuanci who was "encircled and suppressed" last year was actually trying to survive a catastrophe.
For Taoist monks, those with high cultivation level can easily withstand the heavenly tribulation or the thunderstorm is not heavy. Their body, hair and skin will not suffer much damage, and the physical body will ascend together with Yuan Ying Yang Shen; those with slightly lower cultivation level, or the heavenly tribulation is extremely severe. As for the one who caused the physical body to be destroyed, the Yang Shen ascended and left the body behind.
No matter which one, the last relics are left in the golden urn, which is a tomb for future generations of disciples to pay homage and offer incense.
Amidst the solemnity, all the monks who were watching the ceremony were present, and the scene was completely silent.
Zhang Laodao was wearing a purple gold Taoist robe with black turtles and spiritual snakes embroidered on the Taoist robe. He walked slowly into Zhang Xian Tower, climbed up the stairs, and came to the golden urn.
Qing Jun followed him and climbed to the top of the building step by step. After looking at the golden urn, he frowned and said, "Master, I don't like this golden urn."
Zhang Laodao smiled and said: "This is the custom of our Taoist sect for thousands of years. This urn is best for inducing and resisting the natural disaster. Qingjun can bear with it a little."
At this point, Qing Jun just complained, so he took a few commonly used magic weapons and placed them in several specially vacated niches around the platform to help Zhang Xian Tower defend against heavenly calamity.
Zhang Laodao and Qing Jun floated up, entered the golden urn, and sat down respectively. Zhang Laodao made a secret and shouted: "Exercise a furnace of true sun and moon, sweep away 3,600; the yin, fire and yang talismans are at noon, and the sins and dirt are eliminated in one stroke! Wisdom is clear, the mind is peaceful, the three souls are eternal, and the soul is Wusangqing! Jie Lei, come and wash!"
When the mantra was uttered, the alchemy furnace in the body was like fire, and the whole body exuded an unstoppable aura. This aura expanded in all directions, was blocked by the golden urn, gathered at the mouth of the urn, and shot out towards the sky, straight into the clouds. !
At the same time, Qingjun manifested his true form, but it was a green snake with bamboo leaves. The body of the snake was crystal green and almost transparent. It coiled on the mouth of the urn and spit out its scarlet core toward the sky.
The two powerful forces combined in one place immediately triggered changes in the sky. Bursts of muffled thunder resounded over Wudang Mountain. The sky immediately darkened, giving rise to rolling clouds of calamity, thickening layer by layer, and then began to rotate.
??A bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from the sky, directly hitting the golden urn, connecting from the clouds to the ground, shaking and shining continuously! At this moment, Zhao Ran had an illusion, as if there was only such a lightning in the sky and on the earth, as if the entire Wudang Mountain was enveloped by this lightning.
Zhao Ran had never seen the scene when Taoist Songxue ascended twenty-three years ago, but he heard Zhang Laodao describe it. Comparing the two, he speculated that this tribulation thunder was more than twice as powerful as Taoist Songxue when he ascended that year. ! This should be the reason why Qingjun and Zhang Laodao signed a master-servant contract. The calamity thunder strikes together and treats master and servant as one body. Qingjun¡¯s calamity must be shared by Zhang Laodao, who is the master, otherwise Qingjun It is difficult to get through it on your own.
The power of the tribulation thunder is extremely astonishing. Although Zhang Laodao had been prepared for it, he was still a little shocked knowing that this would be the consequence of bringing Qingjun along with him to cope with the tribulation. He didn't dare to neglect, he used his skills to protect himself and endured the bombardment of thunder. At the same time, the array of talismans arranged in Zhang Xian Tower and the magic weapons everywhere also began to operate, combining various protective powers.?On Zhang Xian Tower, to prevent the thunder from spreading and injuring innocent people.
When the calamity thunder comes, it can only be resisted, not counterattacked. Zhang Laodao and Qingjun work together, and indeed have the strength to disperse the calamity cloud. However, in this way, the calamity is in vain, and the cause and effect cannot be washed away and cannot be defeated. How can evil be transformed?
Even when you are going through a tribulation, you cannot borrow external forces. You can only use one or two of your own natal magic weapons or talismans, otherwise the "purification" effect will not be achieved. As for how many natal magic weapons there are, it all depends on personal cultivation and skills.
On that day, Long Yangzi planned to modify the "Penglai Immortal Game" as his own magic weapon, and later planned to separate a ray of divine consciousness into the Sakyamuni Lion Seal. What about Zhang Laodao himself? What about Qingjun?
The natal magic weapon used by Zhang Laodao is a flying sword called "Tai Chi Sword". He took out the Tai Chi sword, drawing Tai Chi patterns one after another, hovering above his head. Qing Jun spit out a dark green emerald stone, and black rain spewed out from the stone, scattering it towards the robbery.
The two of them worked together to offset most of the power of the tribulation thunder. The remaining tribulation thunder penetrated the golden urn and struck the two of them. They had to bear the power with their own bodies.
It is to endure, not to resist. If the calamity thunder does not purify the body and mind, it will not be able to transform into a physical body and Yang deity that can adapt to the heaven, and it will not survive in heaven - this is the real purpose of the calamity.
Of course, in addition to resisting Yang Shen with the physical body and resisting with the natal magic weapon, there is another thing that can be used to borrow, which is the trust that the Taoist school has collected for decades. The power of faith can offset the calamity thunder, which can be equivalent to the purification of the calamity thunder.
The ultimate goal of Daomen gathering trust is actually to ascend. During the ascension, the power of faith can be used in two ways. One is to counteract the power of the calamity thunder and protect the physical body and the sun god; the other is similar to Buddhism, forming a rainbow bridge to guide the monks to heaven.
According to Taoist records, whether it is using faith to offset the power of thunder or building a rainbow bridge to guide monks, its essence is to make offerings to heaven. To put it bluntly, faith is exchanged for ascension.
??A tribulation thunder lasted for a few breaths, and then disappeared in a flash. Then, thunderclouds rolled in the sky and continued to strike down a second tribulation thunder.
After hitting the nine tribulation thunders, Zhang Laodao breathed rapidly, and Qingjun's snake body also began to change erratically, which was a sign that he was beginning to struggle. So Zhang Laodao pointed his finger and spoke plausibly.
A stream of rainbow light flew from the southeast, blessing the golden urn, and eliminated the thunder that struck down. Zhang Laodao and Qing Jun were both able to breathe, and each seized the opportunity to close their eyes and recover.
