A monkey in human clothes scratches its ears and cheeks, jumping up and down.
The monkey looked at the door from time to time, as if he wanted to go in and do something, but he didn't dare to hesitate.
After about an hour or so, a long and leisurely voice came from the room behind the courtyard door.
"Wukong."
When the monkey in the courtyard heard this, he immediately became excited and looked at the door with a happy expression.
"master."
But the monkey in the yard outside the door is who it is if it’s not Sun Wukong.
In the door room, Lin Tianqi sat cross-legged on Yipu Tuan, looked out the door and smiled slightly.
"come in."
After saying that, he waved his hand and the door opened automatically with a creak.
"master."
Sun Wukong jumped in and ran in. When he saw Lin Tianqi, he quickly saluted respectfully, and then looked at Lin Tianqi respectfully, honestly, and somewhat expectantly.
He looked like a primary school student who had made a mistake and went into the office to admit his mistake and face the teacher. He wanted to speak but did not dare.
Lin Tianqi couldn't help but feel amused when he saw his disciple's appearance. He could clearly see his disciple's thoughts in his heart, but he still said calmly without showing much expression on his face.
"Is there something wrong with you coming to Master's place so late and not sleeping yet?"
"Master, that, disciple, disciple..."
Hearing Lin Tianqi's initiative to ask, Wukong suddenly hesitated again, with a shy smile on his face, wanting to say something but not daring to say anything.
"Did you get into trouble?"
Lin Tianqi asked knowingly.
"No, no, master misunderstood."
After hearing this, Wukong immediately shook his head and denied the explanation, and then thought about it and thought about it.
"Disciple, I want to learn the Dharma from my master."
"Study the Dharma." Lin Tianqi said with a look of surprise on his face when he heard this: "That's right, since you have become my master's disciple, it's really time for my master to guide you in your practice."
"Then what methods do you want to learn?"
Lin Tianqi asked again.
Wukong's eyes widened when he heard this, then he licked his face and smiled.
"Whatever method the master teaches his disciples to learn, will the disciples learn the same method?"
Lin Tianqi smiled.
"Then how about I teach you how to seek immortality and Buddha, and how to ward off evil and avoid evil?"
Wukong asked immediately.
"Master, can this method lead to immortality?"
Lin Tianqi smiled and shook his head.
"cannot."
Upon hearing that he could not live forever, Wukong immediately shook his head and said with disgust on his face.
"If you don't want to learn, then if you don't want to learn, it's better to make your own decision if you seek immortality or divination. Master, you can teach your disciples other spells."
Lin Tianqi smiled again.
"Then how about I teach you how to chant sutras and recite Buddha's name, and pay homage to the truth?"
"Can I live forever?"
"It's like fishing for the moon in the water, or looking at flowers in the mirror."
Lin Tianqi laughed again. Wukong scratched his head when he heard the words. He didn't understand the meaning of Lin Tianqi's words at all. Although he was born psychic and could understand human speech, he was still just a wild monkey in the mountains without enlightenment. He scratched his head and thought hard for a while.
He couldn't figure out the meaning of Lin Tianqi's words, so he rolled his eyes and said.
"Master doesn't speak readily. My disciple is an honest man and doesn't know how to speak in jargon. What is meant by fishing for the moon in the water and what is meant by looking at flowers in the mirror? Master, please explain to me so that I can understand."
Lin Tianqi heard this and looked at Wukong with a smile, thinking that he was indeed one of the four great monkeys. Although he was not enlightened, he was also smart and said with a smile.
"The moon is in the sky, and there are shadows in the water. Although you can see it, you can never touch it. The same is true when you look at flowers in the mirror. They are all visible but inaccessible, and in the end they become empty."
When Wukong heard this, he suddenly understood and changed his mind.
"So, according to what the master said, seeking immortals and asking for hexagrams, reciting Buddha's scriptures and reciting sutras will not lead to immortality.
If you don't want to learn, these disciples won't learn. If you want to learn the method of immortality, you don't ask for immortals or Buddhas. You make your own decisions..."
Lin Tianqi couldn't help laughing loudly after hearing this.
"Haha, yes, that's well said. Asking immortals and asking Buddha is nothing compared to making the decision yourself. I, a Taoist disciple, don't need to ask immortals and Buddha. From tomorrow onwards, I will teach you the method of immortality. I will talk to you first tonight.
Tell me, what is technique, what is Dharma, what is practice..."
"Thank you, master, thank you, master!"
Wukong also suddenly became excited and worshiped again and again.
Lin Tianqi nodded and smiled, raised his hand to help Wukong up, and then said slowly.
"There are thousands of systems of spiritual practice in the world, but in the final analysis, what you pursue is nothing more than the transformation and evolution of your own life essence, in order to seek longevity and even immortality."
"Different cultivation systems have different realm divisions, but generally speaking, monks in the world can be divided into three major realms according to their life levels: transformation, immortality, and immortality."
"The life level of a metamorphosis begins to transcend the scope of ordinary life, and is outside the world of the end of the law. As long as a monk sets foot in the realm of metamorphosis, his or her life span can be greatly increased, far exceeding that of ordinary creatures. For ordinary creatures, a monk who has metamorphosed is already considered
Immortality."
"Beyond the mortal realm is immortality. People in this realm, as the name suggests, live forever. Even the most ordinary immortal monks have a normal life span of no less than ten thousand years. As for some powerful immortal monks, their life spans are hundreds of thousands of years.
Years, millions of years or even tens of millions of years are not difficult."
When Wukong heard this, he suddenly became excited. He thought that if he could live for such a long time, how powerful would the immortality on top of the immortality be.
"I dare to ask Master, how does the realm of immortality exist, but it is eternal and immortal?"
Lin Tianqi nodded slightly when he heard this.
"The immortal is free and eternal, transcending all time and space. Time does not intrude, and the years do not wear out. It has the same longevity as the heaven and the earth, and the same brightness as the sun and the moon. If the heaven and the earth are not destroyed, it will be immortal. If the heaven and the earth are destroyed, the immortal will not be destroyed. This state can be said to be great.
Those with supernatural powers can truly achieve eternity under normal lifespan."
Sun Wukong was even more excited when he heard this. Time does not invade, time does not wear out, if the heaven and the earth are not destroyed, the immortal will be immortal, and if the heaven and the earth are destroyed, the immortal will not be destroyed. How powerful is such a existence.
Suddenly, Sun Wukong turned his eyes and looked at Lin Tianqi and said with a smile.
"Hey, master, I wonder what state you are in now?"
Lin Tianqi smiled modestly when he heard this.
"It's okay, it's okay. My cultivation level as a teacher can be considered as adequate. I just killed two immortals some time ago."
Sun Wukong was a little disappointed when he heard Lin Tianqi's previous words, but his eyes widened when he heard the next words.
Master, I suspect you are showing off.
...........
The next day,
Lin Tianqi began to formally teach Sun Wukong how to practice.
"Wukong, you are a spiritual stone monkey, a born spiritual monkey with extraordinary qualifications. Although you are not as good as my teacher, you are already at the top in all the worlds. You can learn everything quickly. Today, my teacher will officially teach you how to practice. I will teach you how to practice first.
method."
Lin Tianqi opened his mouth and said, while Sun Wukong stood in front of Lin Tianqi with an excited look on his face and nodded repeatedly when he heard the words.
After speaking, Lin Tianqi pointed out, a ray of light penetrated Sun Wukong's eyebrows, and the entire technique was instantly transmitted into his mind.
"This is the "Immortal Celestial Skill". It focuses on cultivating the physical body. If you can cultivate it to the extreme, the physical body will be immortal. Time is hard to wear out. Under the immortality, if you maintain the physical body, you can do anything."
"A monk who does not cultivate the body is not a good monk, and a monk who cannot fight in close combat is not a qualified monk. Therefore, I teach you the "Immortal Art of Heaven" in the hope that you will understand this and remember to practice hard and not fall into the sect in the future.
Prestige."
Lin Tianqi said again.
"As for the realm of immortality, you need to rely on your own chance and perseverance. This realm cannot be helped by anyone, nor can it be helped by techniques. It all depends on the individual monk. Whether you can set foot in it in the future depends on your own efforts."
"Today, I will teach you the method of cultivation. After you have started practicing and have achieved immortality, I will teach you the method again."
"In addition, from now on, in addition to practicing, my teacher will also arrange for you to read and practice calligraphy every day, so remember not to neglect it."
