The situation outside is still turbulent. The capital city defense formation that was activated that night has been running and has never stopped. The ban on flying in the air has also been activated; only monks in uniforms of all kinds can still patrol in mid-air.
No more. Even many streets have been put under martial law, or in other words, martial law in disguise.
During this period, not only many monks with official positions in the Zhou Dynasty were arrested and killed, but many monks belonging to the Six Sects were also hunted down. Some even fled to the "foreign envoy area" where Wuxu was located, in an attempt to obtain their belongings
The protection of the sects. But without exception, the six sect envoys, almost with a tacit understanding, kept these monks away, allowing them to be captured or killed on the spot by the Dazhou law enforcement monks who arrived later.
Take the Demon Clan Mission where Wuxu is located as an example. The old woman who has always been with the Heavenly Demon is in charge at the moment. On several occasions, monks stained with blood, either human or demon, have fled to the Demon Clan Mission.
Some even called out their family background and name, as well as the name of the old woman, but to no avail.
Later, the entire "Foreign Diplomatic Area" was completely closed and isolated.
As a result, Wuxu also completely lost his sense and contact with the outside world.
"Fortunately, I went to the outer world not long ago, and I am mostly in the land of the tiger clan, so I don't have much involvement with the outside world." Wuxu could only think to himself, "So this catastrophe seems to have little to do with me, and I am not as good as Jing."
Come down and practice with concentration."
Wuxu originally wanted to practice some magical powers based on the previous conversation between Duoji and himself. After all, the Zhou Dynasty seemed to have changed, and the "worldly ways" were about to change. But Wen Tianxiang was beside him, and he was practicing ghost ways; he
If they practice magical powers, they will inevitably have an influence on each other. Wu Xu thought about it and chose to practice the Dharma Realm method that he had learned in the land of the Tiger Clan.
The great mandala Dharma Realm of Lamaism uses the power of visualization to form a realm in the void outside the body and evolves in various ways. The Dharma Realm of the body that Wuxu understands is within the body. This physical body is actually a world. The so-called one
In the world of Sha Yi, as a person who traveled through time, Wuxu certainly knew that his body, according to later interpretations, was created by Xu
It is composed of many cells, and these many cells are actually composed of many molecules, electrons, protons and other things. We look up at the stars and feel that the universe is vast; but in fact, when we look inward, this physical body
, isn’t it vast? If you change the angle, each cell might look like stars.
Wuxu then sat cross-legged and put his hands together. The reason why he put his hands together is that this is the most common and fundamental mudra. Wuxu abandoned external consciousness and silently observed the movements in the physical body. At first, he only felt that between the breaths, the entire physical body was moving.
a whole, alone
Standing on your own, you are also exhaling and inhaling. Then, the internal organs seem to gradually become clearer, and sensations such as numbness, pain, and itching come one after another. After realizing the emptiness, concentrate again, follow this feeling that appears from time to time, use the emptiness to practice, and observe a certain part.
This process was like an infinite fall. Later, Wuxu suddenly felt an inexplicable fear, as if there was an unreachable abyss below, but he was falling forever. Not long after this inexplicable fear arose, Wuxu suddenly realized
To return to one’s position means to emerge from concentration.
"Master Wuxu, seems to be practicing some profound secret method?" Wen Tianxiang asked quietly in the darkness of the house.
Wuxu looked up, clasped his hands hurriedly and said, "Wuxu was on a whim, but he didn't want to disturb fellow Taoist Wen."
Wen Tianxiang waved his hand and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter. I just saw a blue dragon and a white tiger flying out of Master Wuxu's body, and there was also a faint fragrance of Sanskrit singing coming out. I know that Master Wuxu is practicing a very profound method."
Wuxu waved his hand and said, "To be honest, the poor monk is just a wild fox Zen. He doesn't ask for a deep understanding of the classics. The precepts can be interpreted as he wishes. The so-called practice is nothing more than random tossing."
"Buddhist practice has always been multi-spiritual, not focusing on the physical body, and even requires giving up the physical body." Wen Tianxiang pondered for a moment and then said slowly, "Just now, when Master Wuxu was practicing, the physical body seemed to be scattered."
Wu Xu was shocked when he heard about it. He didn't think about it in his own practice, but he didn't think about Wen Tianxiang's comments. It seems that his physical body, the Dharma Realm, seemed to have been wrongly thought about and cultivated wrongly. The physical body was scattered. Isn't this the same as the physical body being annihilated and dead?
Although it makes sense that the human body is nothing more than a stinky skin, and cultivating Buddhism means cultivating transcendence, at the moment I am cultivating the Dharma Realm of the physical body, which is based on the physical body, far more than the so-called physical Vajra and other cultivation methods.
But I heard Wen Tianxiang say again, "I understand that Master Xu's practice actually seems to be somewhat similar to my practice in the ghost way."
Somewhat similar to ghost cultivation?!
Wuxu was a little surprised and doubtful. He looked at Wen Tianxiang, clasped his hands and asked, "I hope you can give me some advice."
Wen Tianxiang thought for a while and then said again, "Master just now practices, although he practices with the physical body, he still practices with the intention of the cessation of Buddhism. If you practice like this for a long time, your physical body will naturally disappear; but Master
It seems that I want to use this body to practice cultivation, then this body will be lost and recovered, just like us ghost monks, cultivating human bodies through every ray of soul."
"That's not right!" Wuxu thought for a while and suddenly said, "People in the ghost realm cultivate ghost bodies, not human bodies!"
Wen Tianxiang smiled and said, "The so-called human body means not a human body, but a human body. We ghost cultivators rebuilt the human body. Is the human body rebuilt by Master Wuxu still the original human body?"
, Wuxu, was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, "The so-called human body is not a human body, it is a human body. It seems that fellow Taoist scholars are also familiar with the Diamond Sutra."
Wen Tianxiang smiled and said, "Why don't you read Buddhist classics?" After a pause, he said again, "Ghost monks, whether proactively or as a last resort, break and then stand up in the human body, and are born with only a ray of soul.
The white bones revive the skin, and the whole body is restored. The method that the master just practiced seems to need to be broken and then established. Therefore, Wenshan said that this method is similar to our ghost way practice."
After listening to this, Wuxu couldn't help but fall into deep contemplation.
When I meditate internally, although I have a close heart, I unconsciously carry the usual sense of annihilation. This is tantamount to self-mutilation, or suicide. Before, I tried to practice this way in the Tiger Clan, which was the beginning stage.
, mixed with my own repeated tests and deductions, so it did not cause serious consequences, and the reason why it was born to be able to accommodate more than a hundred tiger demons
The so-called physical mandala Dharma Realm is actually a mistake, or it is just a realm that I imagined to accommodate those tiger monsters. It is just because the blood or blood that falls when these tiger monsters fight usually
The fresh meat is swallowed by oneself, which produces some kind of reaction in one's body, making oneself mistakenly think that one has cultivated the physical mandala.
But looking from within, is the Dharma Realm in one’s body such a realm?
You should look at your own body with compassion. World Honored One, you should filter the water you drink with gauze to avoid accidentally hurting sentient beings. Why can't we love the many sentient beings in our bodies? The so-called abandonment does not mean elimination, but
From a certain perspective, give up your monopoly and arrogance on your own body, and look at them from a perspective of equality and fraternity. Just like the wise kings in ancient times
, although he is the "master" of this body, and even seems to be able to take over life and death, and is above all cells and tissues, but as a wise king, he must love and care for every "subject", and even understand that, in essence,
, there is no difference between myself and these "subjects". Of course, normal metabolism, just like normal birth, old age, illness and death, is allowed.
Wuxu could only think of this for the time being. Thinking like this, he unconsciously looked inside again, but
It's just observing, without any intention of death, and even with a hint of joy, compassion, and even an emotion like "burn my little universe."
But at this moment, a figure appeared silently, interrupting Wuxu's understanding.
Before Wuxu opened his eyes, he felt the breath and knew that the demon was coming.
"Who are you?" Tian Yao obviously asked Wen Tianxiang coldly.
Before Wen Tianxiang could answer, Wuxu had already opened his eyes and said, "Senior Tianyao, this Taoist friend is the young monk's friend in the human world. Due to the turmoil in the capital, I will invite Friend Wen to be my guest."
"Wen Tianxiang, right?" Tianyao glanced at Wen Tianxiang indifferently, and then said to Wuxu's spiritual consciousness, "You can protect this ghost cultivator, but you must fulfill your previous promise."
Previous promise?!
Wuxu was stunned for a moment, and looked at the Sky Demon with an inquiring expression. After these few days, the Sky Demon could stand in front of him so calmly, so their so-called big thing must have been completed. In this case, he still needs his own sea.
Does the sound snail cooperate?
"Let me go!" The sky demon smiled charmingly, his sleeves swung lightly, and Wuxu was involuntarily pulled to his side by the invisible force.
"Wen Tianxiang, you stay here and are not allowed to go out. When I come back, I will listen to you sing a righteous song!" The demon finally said to Wen Tianxiang, and then disappeared with Wuxu.
...
In the great city defense formation of Kyoto during the Great Zhou Dynasty, all restrictions seemed to be non-existent for the Sky Demon. The Sky Demon even held Wuxu under his arms, ignoring the patrolling law enforcement monks, and flew arrogantly, carrying him in the air.
There was a violent fluctuation of spiritual energy.
As Wuxu expected, the sky demon brought Wuxu to the Tianxin Palace again. At this moment, the Tianxin Palace seemed to have become an isolated island in the sea. No one could be seen outside, and the spiritual energy was like a mist. It seemed that there was a telepathy.
, the sky demon takes Wuxu and flies non-stop
, but the palace door automatically opened a gap, and then closed quietly. From the moment you entered the hall, there were several invisible pressures, coming from nowhere, like thousands of mountains. The further you go, the more...
The horror was so overwhelming that Wuxu couldn't breathe.
"The road ahead is too dangerous, you should go into your sea sound conch." Suddenly, the sky demon sent a message to Wuxu, and by the way, he raised his hand and set up a temporary barrier for Wuxu.
Wuxu glanced at the sky demon gratefully, without saying a word, and then sacrificed the sea conch and escaped in. Of course, Wuxu did not completely seal the sea conch, but still retained a trace of the conch's sensitivity to the outside world, and then drove it
The sea sound conch moves forward with the sky demon. Otherwise, if I don't know what to do when the time comes, who knows what those Tongxuan masters will do to me. They might completely seal themselves together with the sea sound conch. Wouldn't it be miserable?
Already?
Gradually, Wuxu felt, as if, as if, as if the heavenly demon had taken him into another world. He couldn't tell the specifics, because the outside world had been almost completely blocked, and he could only intuit through the trace of residual induction.
.
But this feeling was suddenly blocked by the heavenly demon. The outside world suddenly disappeared, as if the heaven and earth did not exist. Wuxu had no choice but to appear in the sea sound conch with the appearance of Guanyin Bodhisattva and then observe the four directions.
In the sea sound conch, there are quite a few sentient beings who see Wuxu's faint appearance of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and react to each other one after another. These strands of power of faith and vows gather together, like trickles that merge into a river and sea. Wuxu
Suddenly I realized that this
Isn't the realm of Haiyinluo just like the realm of the physical body that I am pursuing? I am like a Bodhisattva or a king, but I must love and protect them, and cannot act arbitrarily, and they must also respect themselves as a Bodhisattva or a king and abide by them.
OK. Among them, the most important thing, in the final analysis, is equality and trust. I am respected as a Bodhisattva in this sea conch, but I cannot think of myself as a superior Bodhisattva. In fact, I am no different from them.
And equality; and their worship to themselves is nothing more than a kind of respect, a kind of recognition and respect based on inner trust (trust), and this recognition and respect give rise to strands of belief and wish, gathered in
Wuxu is here.
From this perspective, Wuxu felt that he was actually not the master, but a person with an important responsibility. He could not live up to this important responsibility, and he could only live through fire and water, even if he died. Such a relationship is somewhat similar to that of a lover.
Mutual trust, harmony, and harmony. It's a bit like a commander and a soldier. The soldier gives his life to the commander, and the commander must lead the soldiers to win the battle and minimize casualties.
This is not one-way fraud or extortion, but mutual trust and dedication. It is a sacred contract. Furthermore, it is an interdependence and a cycle of cause and effect. Wuxu has never been like this in Haiyinluo.
Understand that if you fail to live up to these countless faiths and wishes, you are not worthy of being a Bodhisattva in the Haiyinluo Dharma Realm, and you are not worthy of owning the Haiyinluo Dojo.
But this is a similar state. What will it be like if you use your body as a world? More importantly, how to practice? At this moment, Wuxu is still confused, but he only knows one thing, that is, the beginning
We can only wait and see the changes first. Watch quietly first, wait until there are changes, and then distinguish. This is a bit like crossing the river by feeling for the stones.
While he was meditating and comprehending, Wuxu suddenly felt huge pressure from outside in the sea sound conch, coming from all directions. The situation was much more terrifying than when the six Tongxuan monks worked together to explore the sea sound conch!
The sound conch seemed to be flattened, broken, and crushed in an instant. Wuxu almost
An instinctive reaction, forming seals with both hands, and operating the conch with all its strength; not only that, all the living beings in the conch, including the monks in the Conch Temple, seemed to be sensing it, either sitting cross-legged and meditating silently reciting the Buddha's name, or spreading their beards and hair to show their strength.
Howling, or hiding around but releasing a trace of unwillingness to die...
"Hurry up and run the sea conch with all your strength!" The message from the Sky Demon also came over.
Wuxu couldn't even snort at this in his heart. The endless pressure made Wuxu have no time to care. At this moment, as the owner of the sea conch, he put his palms together and a sea conch appeared.
The shape of the sea conch that he usually sees in the outside world is exactly the same, and even the breath is exactly the same. Without any exploration, Wuxu intuitively knows that this is the sea conch, or he can barely call it the "original body". He doesn't know where it is outside.
What happened again to make him win the third prize?
An active appearance. Countless brilliance, either bright or dark, thick or thin, thousands of rays of various colors, emerged from all over the cave world and gathered here, sinking into the sea sound conch above the palms of the hands. This is the sea
The sound conch, a magic weapon in the heaven, is
All the sentient beings in the square world felt the threat from the outside world, and instinctively generated indiscriminate thoughts. Wuxu understood instantly, because one of them shot out from his forehead and disappeared into the small sea sound conch in front of him.
.
At this moment, another spell was imprinted into his sea of consciousness. Wuxu immediately performed the spells one after another, solemnly formed the seals, and recited a mantra. Then he saw the small sea conch in front of him, slowly
As it rises, countless light patterns flash on it, just like a real star.
The pressure outside gradually weakened. Then, Wuxu saw a blurry picture.
More than a dozen figures are flying on a small planet. Farther away, there is a vast and dim starry sky; it is said to be a starry sky, but there are only two stars. They seem to be far apart and yet very close. Let's talk about it.
One of these more than ten figures seemed to be the closest to Wuxu. When Wuxu took a closer look, he seemed to be the sky demon; he only saw a figure from behind, and he still didn’t know whether it was a man or a woman. And there were several other figures.
Tao, Wuxu seemed to be able to barely recognize that he had seen it before, but they were like the two farther stars, extremely far and yet extremely close.
These dozen figures seemed to be discussing or plotting something very important. The atmosphere was solemn, and the words were slow, low and concise. Unfortunately, Wuxu couldn't hear them clearly. Only at the end did Wuxu hear them
A voice sounded after the dust seemed to have settled, "In that case, it is God's will.", "That's all.", "Then let you give it a try!"
Afterwards, Wuxu followed the Tianyao out of the Tianxin Palace, out of the Great Zhou Palace, and returned to the place where the demon clan's mission was.
...
Wuxu was naturally in the sea sound conch. The sky demon returned to the demon clan's mission and appeared in Wuxu's room. He sat on the soft position where Wuxu usually meditated, and casually threw the sea sound conch in.
On the low table in the soft center, facing Wen Tianxiang who stood solemnly in front of him, he said in a manly voice, "The heaven and earth have righteousness and are mixed with manifolds. How can you, a ghost monk, be able to practice such Confucian skills? You,
And sing it in front of your face."
Wen Tianxiang was silent for a moment, walked slowly, and began to chant.
"I was imprisoned in the North Courtyard, sitting in an earthen room. The room was eight feet wide and four feet deep. The single door was low, the white room was short and narrow, it was dirty and dark..."
When Wen Tianxiang recited these verses, the surroundings suddenly became a little darker, and a dense gloomy energy emitted from his body and spread to the surrounding area.
The Heavenly Demon closed his eyes slightly and allowed these sinister auras to pass by him as Wen Tianxiang sang softly. The faint demonic aura on his (her) body was suppressed as much as possible, and there was almost no trace of it. Even if there was even a trace of it,
Every thread is gone
Several were hidden in those gloomy and gloomy auras. The only thing that was obvious was his (her) long hair, which slowly spread out and floated, like many alien tentacles. If Wuxu came out of the sea conch and saw this
This scene definitely reminds me of the ghost of my lover.
However, Wuxu was in the sea conch, and after the huge pressure from the outside world disappeared, he was taking the opportunity to understand how to live in the world, but he did not focus on the outside world.
"The heaven and earth are righteous, and they are mixed and endowed with manifolds. Below are the rivers and mountains, and above are the sun and stars..." Wen Tianxiang just sang in a low voice, and suddenly burst into song.
A breath of unique meaning spurted out, like a sword or a crossbow. Although it was still dark and cold, it turned from black to snow-white, but it was vast and continuous, as if
Even though the soldiers who died in battle turned into ghosts, they still had to charge forward.
The figure of the sky demon suddenly appeared, and then he opened his eyes suddenly, stared at Wen Tianxiang, and shot a black blood arrow from his mouth. The black blood arrow did not fly directly towards Wen Tianxiang. As soon as it came out of the mouth of the sky demon,
Then it shattered into pieces and turned into a ball of pitch-black aura.
It was like a drop of thick ink falling into a pool of clear water. This dark atmosphere spread immediately. In just one breath, most of the entire room was plunged into darkness, as if it had disappeared forever.
Wen Tianxiang slowly rose up, stretched out his arms, and raised his head to the sky. His lips moved slightly, as if he was murmuring secretly, and he seemed not to make any sound at all. However, his whole body still released the same aura as before.
, even whiter and colder than before.
When Wuxu sensed something and came out of the sea conch, he found himself in a dark and cold place. He only saw that Wen Tianxiang's lower body was missing, and only his upper body was still emitting gloomy will-o'-the-wisps. Vaguely, he
His eyes were tightly closed, and his lips were also tightly closed. Only his hands and his head were still pointing upward, as if he was making the final act of unyielding, or trying to freeze this unyielding after death.
The whole room seems to be filled with a breath of despair. This kind of despair not only makes people want to die, but also seems to make the dead ghosts want to die too. This kind of breath of despair wants to eliminate everything, even
In reincarnation.
Firstly, the monks who released this aura of despair were too advanced; secondly, Wuxu himself also somewhat rejected the Buddhist theory of six paths of reincarnation. Therefore, Wuxu could not resist it after waiting for a few breaths.
But Wuxu could see that this was a method of cultivating the Ghost Dao, cultivating the meaning of death to the extreme. Needless to say, others had mastered the Dao, but Wen Tianxiang, who was originally a Ghost Dao monk, was even more sensitive and difficult to resist. If Wen Tianxiang hadn't happened by chance,
, Xiuyou "Song of Righteousness", I am afraid that it has been assimilated and disappeared completely, not even reincarnation.
Wuxu hurriedly offered sacrifices to the sea sound conch, guiding the faith of sentient beings in the sea sound conch, and forming a barrier around his body. Then, in this barrier, he sat cross-legged and recited the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra".
That aura of despair seemed to be extremely sensitive to Wuxu's recitation of the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra". Immediately, many of them came towards Wuxu secretly.
As for the sky demon, I don’t know where it is hiding and what it is doing.
After realizing the truth, I am protected by the faith of the sea sound conch and the sentient beings in it, and I recite and uphold the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra", so I am not afraid. But it seems that for a while, I can't help but these breaths of despair are gone.
But at that moment, Wen Tianxiang seemed to move, just like a thousand-year-old statue, it seemed to move just a little bit.
After a while, Wen Tianxiang suddenly let out a dragon roar! His visible upper body instantly transformed into a dragon and then returned to human form. Then, he slowly put down his hands, opened his eyes, and shot out two blazing rays of light. The whole room seemed to
Everything was illuminated, and the breath of despair seemed to have never existed before.
The Heavenly Demon, who didn't know when, or rather had been lying on the soft floor, smiled lazily and said, "It's an advantage for you!" After saying that, he disappeared immediately.
"Thank you, Master Wuxu, for your timely help." Wen Tianxiang said, cupping his hands towards Wuxu.
Wuxu put away the conch and looked at Wen Tianxiang carefully. He felt that there seemed to be something different about Wen Tianxiang, but he couldn't tell for the moment.
Seeing this, Wen Tianxiang smiled faintly and said again, "Senior Tianyao just now seemed to have been hit by the Ghost Sect Master's Ten Directions Nether Finger, but he relied on Wenshan and the master's hands to heal his wounds."
"The Netherworld Finger of the Ten Directions?" Wuxu muttered softly.
"The Ten Directions Nether Finger is said to be the highest magic technique of the Ghost Sect, and it is also the famous unique skill of the Ghost Sect leader. It is said that it is silent, but it can plant the meaning of despair in the sea of people's consciousness. The Ten Directions Nether Finger is
, not only the spiritual energy is not smooth,
It gradually fades away, and at any time, the thought of losing hope and seeking death will arise. Even if a real monk is exposed to it for a little longer, he will turn into a headless ghost and even give up reincarnation," Wen Tianxiang slowly explained.
"I see." Wu Xu silently recalled the scene just now, then looked at Wen Tianxiang and said with a smile, "But fellow Taoist, this time it seems to be a blessing in disguise."
Wen Tianxiang raised his hands to Wuxu again and said, "Thanks to Master Wuxu, Wenshan was able to buy some time for Wenshan. With the help of some vague memories obtained from the black dragon bones in the human world, Wenshan could re-enlighten those memories in death.
A state of despair and came out of it.”
"So, fellow Taoist, are you a ghost or a human now?" Wuxu asked tentatively.
Wen Tianxiang smiled and said, "Wenshan is naturally still a ghost. What's the difference between a human body and a physical body?" After saying that, he whistled softly and recited:
They are both humans and ghosts, and they practice reincarnation.
Keep your vows in the dark world, and your righteousness will last forever.
Wuxu suddenly realized something, and then he said:
What is the difference between the physical body and the Dharma Realm?
It is born according to circumstances, and this mind is the original deity.
