519, intercepting teaching, intercepting a vitality for all living beings
No, this cannot be blamed on the gods.
But it's not the people's fault.
Bai Gui knows this very well.
Yang Sichang, a cabinet minister during the Chongzhen period, once wrote a poem called "Moon over the Xijiang River". There is a sentence in it, "If you don't die of hunger in peace, you can imitate the mantis with its arms full of strength."
This sentence is a satire on the rebellious people in the late Ming Dynasty. They should not rise up, but should die of hunger honestly. Otherwise, like a mantis with its arms raised, it will sooner or later be crushed by the court's cavalry. It is also a quote from Zhuangzi.
"Human World": "(The mantis) is so angry that it uses its arms as ruts, not knowing that it is not up to the task."
The asymmetry of information leads to ignorance among the people, and thus their faith is harvested by the gods.
Ignorance is not a sin.
From ancient times to the present, ignorance has never been a sin.
"What are you studying for?"
Bai Gui still remembered what Xu Xiucai once asked him.
His answer was that he studied in order to know the truth. He wanted to know why there were ridges and fences when farming. The ancestors only taught experience, but the school could teach him the knowledge of what it was.
Why study?
This time, Bai Gui, as an immortal with the top knowledge, once again asked himself.
"Du Zimei's great protection makes all the poor people in the world happy?"
He shook his head.
This is Du Zimei's ambition, but not his.
"Emperor, the young king has hosted a banquet in the palace, and I would like to ask the emperor and the empress for their permission."
The king of the Bhikkhu Kingdom bowed deeply.
Yang Chan was overjoyed. When she heard that the king of the Bhikkhu Kingdom had brought her and Bai Gui together, she was overjoyed. She sent a message to Bai Gui and asked, "Brother Bai, how do you decide?"
Seeing that Bai Gui didn't answer her, she was startled for a moment, and was about to ask again, but suddenly she saw Bai Gui's thoughtful look, and she had a rough idea, "The Emperor and I have important matters to attend to, so we are delayed.
No, I’ll just skip the banquet this time.”
The king of the Bhikkhu Kingdom looked stunned, but he did not dare to disobey the Holy Mother's will, so he had to lead the officials to retreat.
The crowds filled with flowers receded, leaving only the common people sheltered in cold clothes.
They hunched over and knelt down to pray to the manifested gods.
"Enlightenment, Brother Bai has enlightenment."
Yang Chan explained to everyone.
She has a rich family background and a lot of experience.
Celestial beings like Bai Gui who came from the Daluo lineage have clear minds and astonishing understandings. For example, the more than a thousand disciples of Sakyamuni are all enlightened people. Once enlightened, their cultivation may not be visible to the naked eye.
It's faster, but one day, you will reach the other side.
Enlightenment, understanding this path, is equivalent to anchoring on the other side.
The rest is just a matter of exploring step by step.
This Tao may be a law, a will, or a wish, anything is possible.
But the road has been determined, but it does not mean that it is possible to go through this road.
For example, Ksitigarbha Buddha, if the hell is not empty, will never become a Buddha. This path is the path of Ksitigarbha Buddha. As long as he saves all the evil ghosts in hell, he will be considered a enlightened person.
But how can it be possible to truly save all the ghosts in hell?
…
"Why study?"
Bai Gui looked at the crickets kneeling on the ground. There were also differences in strength and weakness among the crickets. The one with only cold clothes was undoubtedly the weakest. He suddenly understood something.
The first step in reading.
In order to change your destiny and get ahead.
The second step of reading,
It is to allow people like him before to have a chance to get ahead.
Ignorance... can be broken.
When everyone is not ignorant, the immortals and gods will no longer have the soil to harvest faith. In this way, the doubts in his heart will be eliminated.
He cannot change the gods, he can only change sentient beings.
Even if he has the ability to kill these "evil gods", if this piece of ignorant soil exists..., the wild fire will not burn out, and the spring breeze will blow again.
I figured out everything about the problem.
Bai Gui is not in a hurry to do it.
Planning before deciding has always been his style.
The problems he could think of must have been thought about and done by others, but the immortals and gods are still the same, and all living beings are still the same. It can be seen that this path is not so easy.
"Inspector Bai, are you enlightened?"
Chang'e looked at the handsome Taoist in front of her and was secretly frightened. She couldn't help but ask.
She still remembered that the first time she met Bai Gui, it was Bai Gui who was writing Qing Ci in the Chang'an Palace. Although Bai Gui was an immortal at that time, his realm was only the beginning and his breath was not stable. But the second time she met Bai Gui
At that time, his aura was like the sun in the abyss, and even more like the supreme disciple...
In just a few days (in the sky), this progress was extremely fast.
"It's not really enlightenment, it's just that I figured out something."
Bai Gui didn't want to say more and said perfunctorily.
Seeing this, everyone didn't ask too many questions. Matters related to spiritual practice have always been taboo. With so many people at the moment, Bai Gui refused to speak out easily, which is also common sense.
"Taoist Master Bai, this poor monk still has the important task of learning scriptures from the West."
"See you tomorrow..."
"The poor monk took his leave first."
Tang Seng had already packed his bags and led the three masters and disciples forward to deliver a speech.
Although he had thanked Bai Gui once before, Bai Gui was still in the midst of an epiphany. It was hard for him to leave without saying hello. The two were old friends, and Bai Gui had helped him more than once or twice.
After the four masters and disciples of Tang Monk took the white dragon horse and left.
Bai Gui asked: "Fairy Chang'e, now that you have arrived in the earthly immortal world, do you know if there is any other place for the fairy to go?"
He planned to take Chang'e with him to Chang'an and stay there temporarily for a few days.
Chang'an is a holy land of humanity, blessed by human luck. It is not easy for gods and gods to explore Chang'an. And with the methods he arranged in the White House in Shunchangfang, even Yang Jian cannot peek into the inside of the White House.
"I am..."
Chang'e glanced at Yang Chan, her expression hesitant.
She wanted to leave with Bai Gui. The reason why she was able to come down to earth this time was because she cooperated with Si Wei Mansion's investigation. So she couldn't leave Bai Gui's side without authorization. Furthermore, she was getting along with Bai Gui during these days.
There is also some reluctance.
However, Yang Chan was by her side, so it was difficult for her to say these words.
"Sister Chang'e, why not go to Huashan Xiyue Temple?"
Yang Chan suggested.
She didn't think much about it, and still regarded Chang'e as a close friend in her boudoir. Chang'e didn't have a place to stay for the time being, so it was only right for Chang'e to stay in her boudoir for a few days.
Chang'e lowered her head and did not reply in a hurry.
"Huashan Mountain is not far from Chang'an. It can be reached by horseback in half a day. If you ride on the clouds, it will take you only a few breaths. It would be a good thing if Fairy Chang'e could stay temporarily at Sanniangzi's place..."
Bai Gui saw Chang'e's beautiful red glow and knew what she was thinking, so he said smoothly.
Seeing this, Chang'e snorted slightly.
…
Once you have set your ambition, it may also be your future path.
Valley tree
After Bai Gui returned to Chang'an, he transferred to Louguantai with the help of Qianyuan Cave Heaven and consulted his master Guan Yinzi.
One person's power is limited, the teacher is the one to rely on.
"The so-called Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and one of them escapes. The teachings of Jiejiao. It is to intercept this escaped glimmer of life for all souls."
"Your idea is slightly consistent with the Jiejiao teachings, but it is also different."
The clay statue transformed by Guan Yinzi nodded slightly, "Before you went to the world of Journey to the West, you went to the Hanli world once, where you saw the spiritual root method..."
"Because of the spiritual root method, you were born with this idea."
Bai Gui nodded and did not refute.
The idea of breaking through "ignorance" for all sentient beings is not unusual. But how to do it and how to sit are the most important. You can have multiple theories, but only through practice can you get the true knowledge.
The spiritual root method can plant spiritual roots for all living beings. In this way, all living beings will have the opportunity to practice. It will not be like traditional cultivation, where you have to pick one out of a hundred or one out of ten thousand to find a good cultivation seed.
"The disciples practice the method of mending the sky and bathing in the sun in the world of Journey to the West."
"There are also some gains."
"Perhaps meditation can be used to impart Taoism to all living beings."
he said.
The spiritual root method is more popular among the public than traditional cultivation, but there are still some omissions. When he was practicing the method of mending the sky and bathing the sun, he discovered that meditation is also a way for mortals to gain strength.
"Can!"
Guan Yinzi smiled and said, "It's a good thing that you have such an idea. The so-called preaching is nothing more than essence, qi, and spirit. Essence is for martial arts, qi is for practicing qi, and spirit is for meditation..."
"You can create a method based on this and spread it to the world of Journey to the West. As for the meditation method..., when the mortal soul is reincarnated, the meditation method can also be engraved into the soul, and you can practice Taoism from the beginning of your womb."
Guan Yinzi made up for Bai Gui's loopholes step by step.
There are few disciples of the human sect, and his apprentices are even pitiful. If Bai Gui takes this path, he will not achieve the Hunyuan Dao Fruit, but with this, he can still see the dawn of attaining the Golden Immortal.
Well, Bai Gui is his disciple, and when he preaches, he will also get a share of merit, so there is no reason not to help him.
"Thank you, teacher."
Bai Gui breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him.
He thought Guan Yinzi would blame him when he expressed this whimsical idea. But unexpectedly, Guan Yinzi valued him more because of it. Also, there are so many worlds, and with the power of the ether, opening up a world is just a matter of course. Guan Yinzi
So what if Zi threw him a world for experiment?
The world of Journey to the West is destroyed once in an era.
It's not difficult to knock it down again and start over again.
…
With Guan Yinzi's guarantee.
Bai Gui was not in a hurry to return to the world of Journey to the West, but instead came to the sutra-lecturing platform at Louguantai. The sutra-lecturing platform was the place where Laozi taught Guan Yinzi five thousand words of morality, which contained countless Taoist rhymes.
He has the cultivation level of a heavenly immortal and can easily create cultivation methods below the immortal level.
With the blessing of the sutra platform, he created the practice method of meditation with the help of God. He created many meditation practice methods of visualizing the sun, lunar moon, stars in the sky, dragons, fish, animals, birds and insects.
.Each of these methods of contemplation can be used to prove ghosts and immortals.
After the creation of the method, Bai Guicai returned to the world of Journey to the West.
Inside the Tushita Palace.
Taishang Laojun observed the methods created by Bai Gui, pondered for a moment, and then threw these methods into the Bagua furnace. Within a short while, Taishang Laojun had practiced these many meditation methods into a blank picture scroll.
The scroll seems to be nothing, but once a mortal observes it, he will understand the meditation method that suits him.
"This meditation scroll can be practiced by you, but in the underworld, every soul that comprehends a method from this scroll will increase the burden of the six paths of reincarnation..."
"This merit must be contributed by yourself."
After the Supreme Prince handed the blank scroll into Bai Gui's hands, he closed his eyes and invited Bai Gui out of Tushita Palace.
In fact, this heaven was created by him, and so was the underworld.
He doesn't care about just some meritorious deeds.
But as a teacher, he has helped as much as he can, but he cannot give more.
This is the rule.
There is a limit to how you can protect your children, nephews, and descendants.
It is not a good thing to overthrow the seedlings and encourage them to grow.
…
Huashan, Xiyue Temple.
After settling the matter, Bai Gui did not forget Chang'e who was temporarily staying in Xiyue Temple.
"Sanniang, Sanniang, Inspector Bai is here."
The little maidservant of Ganoderma lucidum was in charge of the worship of mortals in the Notre Dame Hall of Xiyue Temple. When she saw Bai Gui entering the hall, she hurriedly greeted him and went in happily to report.
From time to time, Yang Chan and Chang'e Pingting walked out gracefully.
There was a hint of resentment in Chang'e's eyes.
She thought that after Bai Gui sent her to Xiyue Temple, he would find time to have a tryst with her again, but she never thought that Bai Gui would be away for more than ten days.
"A few days ago, Tianying Xingjun went down to the realm, but was stopped by my second brother."
Yang Chan mentioned the past few days.
Tianying Xingjun of Si Fei Mansion was still chasing after him. Knowing that Bai Gui and Chang'e had appeared in the Bhikkhu Kingdom, accompanied by Yang Chan, they immediately guessed that Chang'e might be hiding in Xiyue Temple...
.
"The true king monitors the three realms with his celestial eyes, and the star king Tianying also overestimates his capabilities."
Bai Gui shook his head.
"By the way, there's one more thing. Brother Bai, the Jade Emperor's youngest daughter, also known as Zi'er, came to Xiyue Temple a few days ago. Zi'er had a good relationship with a mortal named Dong Yong, and even did not hesitate to peel off the immortal bones.
Even if I cut off my immortal status, I still want to be with Dong Yong..."
"This Dong Yong's brother, his name is... Yuri, he's weird."
When entering the Xiyue Cave, Yang Chan chirped.
She is the niece of the Jade Emperor and Zi'er's cousin. It is normal for Zi'er to come to see her cousin when she loses her magic power and encounters difficulties.
Bai Gui chimed in with a few words.
The Seven Fairies have nothing to do with him.
It's just that Zi'er was willing to be stripped of her immortal bones and her immortal status for Dong Yong. Even though he had heard about it, it was still quite incredible to hear it with his own ears.
But after thinking about it, he understood.
The fairies in the fairy world seem to have been practicing for a long time, but they are carefree in heaven. Although there are conspiracies and intrigues, they have nothing to do with them. They are all like greenhouse flowers, pure and simple. If they are really true fairies who have cultivated Taoism,
How could he give up the immortal position he had finally won so easily...
"Sanniang, please wait a moment, Fairy Chang'e and I will have a private conversation."
Bai Gui settled down, walked to a side room, and pondered.
As soon as she finished speaking, Chang'e lowered her head in shame and did not dare to speak.
"Yes, Brother Bai."
Although Yang Chan has thousands of things to say, she has always understood etiquette and is soft-tempered. It is not a small matter for Chang'e to come down to earth privately, and it is not incomprehensible for Chang'e to discuss important matters.
Her heart was sour, she nodded aggrievedly, and agreed.
"Brother Bai..."
"伱...you and Sister Chang'e hurry up."
Yang Chan saw the two people entering the house and warned them.
