As the spiritual master officially advanced to the fourth level, led by the fourth-level knot master and the alchemy talisman array that also reached the fourth level, and with the help of a steady stream of new insights, Meng Zhou felt that he was going through a
A special "ascension on the spot".
There was obviously no increase in his cultivation, but he felt that his "vision" and his "perception" had unknowingly easily transcended the constraints of his body, and he saw a broader and deeper world.
Meng Zhou discovered that he didn't need to do anything deliberately, nor did he need any special opportunities, nor did he need to look for "flaws" in the rules of heaven and earth. As long as he thought about it, he could really touch it, as if it were eternal.
The unchanging rules of heaven and earth.
Meng Zhou even had the illusion in his heart that as long as he wanted to, he could plunge into the vast and profound world of rules that seemed to be eternal.
Feeling in a trance, wandering in a fuzzy state.
Commune with heaven and earth and participate in creation from beginning to end.
Inexplicably, Meng Zhou thought of those legendary characters.
For example, Yaya said that the unparalleled genius who, with a mortal body and the method of knotting, finally understood the truth of heaven and earth.
Meng Zhou thought to himself, if such a legend is true, if there really was such a person or a similar person in this world, his experience at that time should be similar to me at this moment, right?
For a moment, Meng Zhou felt a little dazed.
Have my achievements begun to surpass those of my peers, and have I begun to stand shoulder to shoulder with those brightest and most dazzling legendary figures?
Thinking of this, Meng Zhou subconsciously felt ashamed of himself.
My own cultivation has reached the peak of elixir formation. Along the way, I have gained enough accumulation. Compared with those monsters who can see the truth of the Tao in a mortal body, it is still much inferior.
"Who cheated?" Meng Zhou couldn't help complaining in his heart.
Suddenly, a layer of gauze seemed to appear between himself and the world for no reason, and the world that originally brought him a mysterious experience suddenly became blurry and unreal.
Meng Zhou's consciousness suddenly woke up.
In an instant, Meng Zhou was sweating profusely, and he felt like he was going to survive a disaster.
Meng Zhou allowed himself to decisively withdraw from the "spiritual world" and the "real world" and completely return to the physical body of the "real world".
Putting his hand on his heart, he could really feel the beating of his heart like a drum. Meng Zhou later felt grateful.
"I didn't expect that there would be pitfalls if you understand too deeply!" Meng Zhou thought to himself.
Of course he understood that if he really couldn't bear it just now and followed his inner guidance and "the heaven and the earth mingle together", then all that would be left here would be an empty body inside.
Meng Zhou did not know whether "I" had ever experienced death or not, but what is certain is that from now on, there will be no "I" in this world.
"I" and heaven and earth are one.
…
This dangerous experience also gave Meng Zhou a deeper understanding of spiritual practice and seeking the Tao.
A practitioner who sincerely aims to pursue the Great Way of Heaven and Earth, when he truly enters the hall and has the qualification to look directly at the Great Way of Heaven and Earth, how can he not be attracted and yearn for it?
"Hear the Tao in the morning and die in the evening."
This is not a subjective expression of the seeker's will, but a very objective statement.
To use Meng Zhou's most easily understandable image as a metaphor, the so-called "Dao" is like a "big star" of immeasurable size and weight in Taixu.
A seeker who has first glimpsed the mystery is like a tiny "hard stone".
The moment when the "hard rock" really sees the "star" is, in turn, the moment when the power of the "star" firmly pulls the "hard rock".
Can the little "hard rock" resist the pull of the "star"?
Eventually, the "hard rock" will become one with the "star".
From then on, the "hard stone" no longer exists, but the "big star" always remains.
Death in the morning and evening seems too slow, too gentle, too gentle.
The correct description should be "if you hear the Tao, you will die."
The sudden appearance of the "gauze tent" that separated him from the "big star" and saved him from the desperate situation of being in harmony with the Tao was actually the manifestation of his achievements in cultivation.
This achievement includes three complete Tao bodies: "Transparent Tao Body", "Green Lotus Sword Body", and "Five Elements and All Things Body".
Including the "Third-level Spring Water Sutra", "The Black Turtle Bearing the Stele True Skill", and "The True Picture of the Bright Moon in the Vast Sea" as the core, the "Three-pole Cycle of Essence, Qi and Shen" that reaches the third-level perfection.
Including the achievement of the golden elixir, which had only a trace of the true meaning of immortality when it first entered the elixir formation, it has now manifested into an almost complete green lotus seed in the sea of ​​consciousness soul pool, and is only one step away from the immortal golden elixir.
Including his journey along the way, in the "Tao of Talisman", "Tao of Alchemy", "Tao of Instruments", "Tao of Formation", "Tao of Controlling Beasts", "Tao of Puppet", "Tao of Medicine Master", "Spiritual Food"
"The Way", "The Way of Spiritual Wine", as well as "Alchemy Master", "talisman master", "medicine spirit master", "spirit control master", "spiritual adjustment master", and even "spiritual master", "
The fruit of the many career paths of “Knot Master”.
Including "Union of Heaven and Earth", "Bead of All Things", "Rebirth of Flesh and Blood", "Transparent Round Mirror", "Bead Body Cleansing Spirit", "Time Editing", "Tai Sui Body", "Time Flowing Water Sword", etc. or self-created,
Or various results that borrow from other methods but are ultimately completely personal.
Including "Transparent Moon Mirror", "Transparent Dao Heart", "Green Lotus Sword Marrow", "Five Elements Escape", "Wanxiang Method" and other magical powers that are integrated into the bone marrow and blood.
When his mind was pulled by the "Tao" and wanted to leave the body and merge with the Tao, each of these achievements turned into a chain, pulling him tightly and "holding" him tightly.
Vibrating sound.
And he has integrated so many amazing achievements into his body. Each chain finally turned his body into an indestructible and unshakable "anchor".
This allowed him to avoid the bad luck of being in harmony with Tao in the end.
Thinking of this, Meng Zhou suddenly had some completely different thoughts in his mind as he thought about the amazing talents of his predecessors who had single-handedly opened up new worlds that he had thought of before.
Before, he felt that he was still inferior to his predecessors.
Although my understanding of the Great Dao has completely transcended the limitations of cultivation, after all, I still have the foundation of the ninth level of pill formation, and I still have the level of achievements that any single item is worthy of bragging about.
But looking at it now, all these are just the ropes that tightly tie me, preventing me from taking the step of separating my mind and body and integrating with the Tao.
But what about those predecessors who did not have his level of cultivation and had so many achievements?
What about the characters who even understand the secrets of the great road in a mortal body and interact with heaven and earth?
Based on Meng Zhou's real experience, their "comprehension" and "perception" have far surpassed their bodies, and the latter simply does not have the conditions to "lock" their minds.
The moment they realize and touch the Tao is the moment when their God and Tao come together.
The physical body left in the real world will become an empty shell.
The so-called "skin bag" is also called "skin bag".
Thinking about this, Meng Zhou realized that he might have found the source of a deep-rooted chain of contempt in the spiritual world.
The flesh and blood body, the foundation of life and the cornerstone of spiritual practice, logically speaking, should be the most precious and precious, and cannot be cherished and cared for too much.
But in the world of spiritual practice, there is such a chain of contempt, that is, those who specialize in soul cultivation look down on those who specialize in qi cultivation, and those who specialize in qi cultivation look down on those who specialize in body cultivation.
In this chain of contempt, the soul is at the highest point, from pure to spiritual, and the flesh and blood body is at the lowest point, from turbid to dirty.
If there is success in practice, the first thing to be accomplished, and the easiest thing to accomplish, must be the soul;
If your spiritual practice is hindered, there is no doubt that it must be the big burden of your flesh and blood body.
No one can explain the specific reasons for this general consensus among all spiritual groups. Everyone has long been accustomed to regard it as a "natural truth".
Meng Zhou speculated that the origin of this phenomenon was probably the result of the misunderstanding and misinterpretation of the empty shells left behind by those extremely charming and consistent figures.
"Perhaps, in the eyes of others, that empty body and skin is the most powerful proof of getting rid of the shackles of the body and attaining the great truth."
At the same time, Meng Zhou also had a new and more in-depth understanding of the current practice system.
In the past, Meng Zhou had touched on this issue when he was thinking about why the inheritance of the Knot Master would disappear and the simpler method of alchemy and talismans would prevail.
His thinking at the time was that after all, there are only a few people who are amazingly talented and can reach the sky in one step.
For example, in mountaineering, if you can directly step from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, that is not something that humans can do.
Even if someone has done it, the moment he does it, he has automatically withdrawn from the ranks of "human beings".
This is not something that normal people can imitate and learn from, nor does it have the foundation to be passed down from generation to generation.
Only by climbing step by step along the stone stairs and finally reaching the top of the mountain can we have the foundation for inheritance.
And even the "stairs" are divided into those that are gentler and easier to walk, and those that are steeper and have more demanding conditions for climbers.
The so-called practice system is just such a "ladder".
The purpose is to allow climbers to go higher, even to the top of the mountain to serve.
This was Meng Zhou’s thinking back then.
Now, when Meng Zhou looked at it again, his thoughts became even deeper.
This kind of slowly ascending and slowly charting is a process of constantly approaching the top of the mountain and getting closer and closer to the main road.
At the same time, it is also a process of continuously accumulating one's own achievements, enhancing one's own capital, and establishing an increasingly stable "anchor".
To be continued...
