The Heavenly Master explained the secrets of the Heavenly Immortals to Qi Xuansu in detail.
In fact, there is no mystery at all. The main reason is that Qi Xuansu is not in the realm of cultivation and has no access to these things for the time being. There is no need to understand them in depth, just like a child in his prime does not need to learn how the elderly should maintain health.
If the immortal still has some unfinished relationship with the mortal world, or some unresolved obsession, and still wants to return to the human world, there is only one way, which is to cut out the incarnation and return to the human world.
However, this method has great limitations and has four difficulties.
First, the immortal himself must be persistent in his heart and have enough persistent thoughts to break through the limitations of the two realms. Otherwise, he will need to cultivate to the level of Taishang Taozu. If the immortal has no attachment, he will not be able to incarnate and return to the human world.
The second is that a considerable amount of divine power is needed to open up the two realms and form a temporary passage. However, this passage is very fragile. Not only the immortals themselves cannot pass it, but even innate people cannot pass it. The reason why it is divine power, not true energy, is because of divine power.
Born from human beings, it corresponds to what the sages say that human beings can conquer heaven.
The third is that a container is needed. Generally, a fetus in the belly that has not yet formed a soul will be chosen and does not create sinful karma. However, if you want to fit the immortal himself and be able to carry and accommodate the thoughts of the immortal, you need to spend manpower and carefully select it.
The fourth is that after the arrival of the immortals, there will be confusion in the womb, that is, they will not remember the original events at all. If there is no enlightenment or other opportunities, they will not be able to remember the causes and consequences for the rest of their lives. Spending their lives in confusion is equivalent to coming to this world in vain.
It’s a long walk, so you need someone to guide you.
These four points respectively correspond to the other four immortals. If you want to solve these four problems, you cannot do without the word "Tao Tong". In other words, the immortals must rely on the disciples who remain in the human world to accumulate incense and vows, find containers, and light them.
Transformation and enlightenment are the reasons why many immortals fought endlessly for the orthodoxy when they were still alive.
If the four points of the problem are solved, the immortal incarnation can walk normally in the human world, or break off the bondage of the world, or cut off the obsession. However, the immortal incarnation does not have any realm cultivation, and needs to start all over again. It only has the enlightenment experience of the immortal, and enters the realm.
Far superior to ordinary people. When Xuansheng summarized the inheritance of immortals in the future, he believed that those who can follow this inheritance are as if the immortals descended to earth and have the enlightenment experience of immortals, which is far superior to ordinary people, so he named them "immortals".
However, even if the cultivation is successful, everything is not fine. The incarnation of the immortal comes to break the fate of the world. If this incarnation is contaminated by too many causes and effects, it still cannot return to the original body. For example, the immortal itself has a Taoist companion, and as a result, the incarnation in the lower world provokes countless emotions.
Debt, constant entanglement, disturbing the mind, these causes and effects have affected the deity. After weighing the pros and cons, the disadvantages outweigh the benefits, so the deity can only cut off this incarnation and make it an independent individual.
From this point of view, the incarnation is the deity, but the deity is not the incarnation.
After overcoming all difficulties, the incarnation was able to do it for the second time
Ascension, returning to the true form, the realm of immortals can be improved to a higher level.
This path of cultivation is more difficult than that of the other Four Immortals, so Taoist classics often describe it as "the inner strength is perfect but the outer strength is lacking".
After Qi Xuansu heard this, he was shocked. He also noticed that the Heavenly Master used the term "second ascension" and couldn't help but said, "The Heavenly Master means... Yi Zangran is the incarnation of a heavenly immortal?"
This reminded Qi Xuansu of something. Both Suzuka Gozen and Tamamozen once said that the Kingdom of Huangquan was left by the first generation of gods, while Izanami and Izanozun were the second generation of gods. The reason why Izanami was able to
Mastering the Kingdom of Huangquan is something that no one can explain clearly. If Yi Zangran Zun is really the incarnation of a certain immortal, then it can be explained. The master of the Kingdom of Huangquan has never changed, it has always been this immortal.
As for transforming from a deity to a celestial being, although it is difficult, it is not impossible. There are even successful examples, and that is the Taoist Heavenly Emperor.
Going even closer, Tantai Yun is constantly changing between the inheritance of earthly immortals and the inheritance of human immortals. Therefore, we cannot look at those proud sons of heaven with the eyes of ordinary people. It is as difficult for ordinary people to ascend to heaven. For those geniuses,
It is said that reaching heaven is never difficult.
Tianshi said, "It seems like this. Since ancient times, there have been many incarnations of immortals. Most of them died in the mystery of the womb. The rest will inevitably die in the middle and can finally ascend for the second time."
There are really very few people. The ascension of Yi Zang Ran Zun is different from the ascension of Taiyin Zhenjun. Tai Yin Zhenjun only gave up the kingdom of God, but took the golden body with him. Yi Zang Ran Zun returned to his original form.
, so even the golden body was abandoned, just like a golden cicada peeling off its shell. Having said that, the method of ascension of the Corpse Immortal is actually based on the second ascension of the Celestial Immortal."
Since the Heavenly Master has determined that it was the second ascension, Qi Xuansu's previous speculation was wrong. It was not Yi Zang Nozun who killed Yi Zang Ran Zun, nor did Yi Zang Ran Zun die in childbirth, but Yi Zang Ran Zun ascended, and
A legacy was left behind.
From this, Qi Xuansu came up with another speculation that Yi Zang Nozun had discovered the secret of Yi Zang Ranzun's legacy. In order to cover up this secret, he weaved the lie that Yi Zang Ranzun died in childbirth, and relied on his own cultivation level that was far stronger than Sanguizi's.
He forcibly entered the Kingdom of Huangquan and began to eat away the remains of Yi Zang Ran Zun's golden body. He was a living god and did not need to be resurrected. And because he devoured the most fragments of the golden body, he became immortal, but he was affected by Yin Qi.
, the seeds of evil fire were also planted in his body.
After that, Izanagi sealed off the Kingdom of Huangquan and fabricated the story that he went to the Kingdom of Huangquan to pick up his wife and get married.
Due to the story of the breakup of the couple, on the grounds that he could only seal off the Kingdom of Huangquan and keep his wife in the Kingdom of Huangquan forever in the face of his wife's pursuit, he openly sealed off the Kingdom of Huangquan and prevented others from entering it.
Izanozun tried so hard to cover up the truth. Even if others made some guesses, they would usually only guess at the first level, which was what Qi Xuansu had guessed before, thinking that Izanozun murdered Izanozun.
I would never have imagined that Yi Zangranzun ascended and passed away and left behind the secret of his resurrection from the dead.
So how did Sanguizi know about it?
You must know that Izanagi is a god, and there is no such thing as drunken gaffes or gibbering in dreams.
Thinking of this, Qi Xuansu suddenly remembered a legend about Fenglinzhou.
It’s still the legend about Yi Zang Nozun looking for his wife. Yi Zang Nozun chased him all the way to the Kingdom of Huangquan. He saw Yi Zang Ranzun covered in maggots and was so frightened that he turned around and ran away. He was so ashamed and angry that he chased her in person.
Izanozun blocked the exit of Huangquan Kingdom with the Thousand Leading Stones. They stood face to face across the Thousand Leading Stones and made a solemn vow as husband and wife.
In the follow-up of this legend, after Yi Zang Nozun left the Kingdom of Huangquan, he thought that he had been to a very dirty place and needed to cleanse his body. When he was cleaning his left eye, he transformed into Bimi Huzun and washed his right eye.
When I was washing my nose, I transformed into the Moon Night Jianzun, and when I washed my nose, I transformed into the Suzhanwu Lord.
At this time, Yi Zang Ranzun was no longer around. Strictly speaking, Sanguizi was not Yi Zang Ranzun's child.
This makes it very clear that this legend actually hints at the truth.
Of course, the Kingdom of Huangquan is a very filthy place. Even Izanozun is inevitably corroded and polluted, so he has to clean his body. This kind of cleaning is of course not as simple as taking a bath in the ordinary sense. It should be to find a way to remove the water in the body.
Yin Qi is discharged from the body.
If it were just that, it would not be enough for Qi Xuansu to realize the inner truth.
It's just that Qi Xuansu has seen two similar stories.
The first story is about Xuansheng fighting against the last leader of the Confucian sect. One is the leader of the Taoist sect, and the other is the leader of the Confucian sect. The victory or defeat of the two also determines the outcome of the battle between Confucianism and Taoism. They have fought twice in total,
Xuansheng was defeated first and then won. In the first battle, Xuansheng was defeated and was beaten to the point where the three corpse gods jumped. That is to say, the three corpses separated from their bodies and carried part of Xuansheng's cultivation. With the help of Xuansheng's immortal objects, they transformed into independent beings.
Individual, escaped from the world. This story is widely circulated, and everyone in the Taoist sect knows it.
The second story is about Lin Lingsu, the master of the Jin Dynasty. This master of truth and spirituality was first the three corpse incarnations of Qingxu Yuanmiao Zhenjun, and then he was completely cut off by the deity and became an independent individual.
, he changed his name to Lin Lingsu, flattered the emperor, became a master of the Jin Dynasty, and had his own three corpses. In the end, Lin Lingsu died from the attack of the external enemy and the betrayal of the three inner corpses.
These two stories were connected, and Qi Xuansu came up with a bold guess.
Perhaps Yi Zangnuozun wanted to imitate Yi Zangran Zun's golden cicada shell and get rid of some burdens; maybe he was too severely eroded by the Yin Qi, and the three corpse gods jumped violently. In short, Yi Zangnuozun transformed into the Three Noble Sons, which happened to correspond to the three
The number of corpses. Rather than saying that Sanguizi is the child of Izanozun and Izanagi Ranzun, it is better to say that Sanguizi is the incarnation of the three corpses of Izanozun.
This can explain why Sanguizi knows so many secrets, and also why Sanguizi wants to put Yi Zangnozun to death. The three corpses' murdering the deity is almost an instinct engraved in their bones.
From this perspective, all the changes in Fenglinzhou were caused by Izanagi. Because of his own greed, he planted the seeds of evil fire and created the Three Noble Sons, which eventually attracted Buddhism and even
He himself was not spared and was completely suppressed.
If Qi Xuansu's guess is true, then all the mysteries can be solved.
Yi Zang Ran Zun is a generation of gods, the incarnation of the first generation owner of Huang Quan Kingdom after his ascension, so she was able to become the second generation owner of Huang Quan Kingdom. Yi Zang Ran Zun finally succeeded in ascending for the second time and left a golden legacy in Huang Quan Kingdom.
The relic of the body. The second ascension is as rare as that of the Immortal of Two Tribulations. This relic, which is even rarer than the elixir of immortality, possesses the magical effects of immortality and resurrection.
Izanagi forcibly entered the Kingdom of Underworld, gnawed the remains of the golden body, and obtained an immortal body. However, it was also polluted and corroded by Yin Qi, which gave rise to evil fire. Because the evil fire was born from Yin Qi, Izanagi was killed.
The Lord was sealed at the foot of Furong Mountain, which leads directly to the netherworld. With the continuous blessing of Yin Qi, it actually increased the power and scope of influence of the evil fire. In Ise, due to successive wars, too many people died, and the Yin Qi was too strong, which also led to
A huge outburst of evil fire.
The three corpses of Izanagi turned into the three noble sons. Izanagi regarded the three noble sons as his own children, but he paved the way for his own downfall.
Sanguizi secretly united with Buddhism to defeat and seal the immortal Izanozun. Under the protection of the Great Sun Tathagata, they successfully entered the underworld and once again gnawed at the golden body of Izanozun and carried some fragments of it.
After leaving the Underworld, Tamamo no Mae, Yamata no Orochi, and Shuten Doji came back to life.
However, this kind of resurrection is not perfect. Not only will you lose your realm and cultivation, but you will also be unable to leave Fenglin Continent. To be precise, you will not be able to leave the scope of influence of Huangquan Kingdom. So it was previously thought that the "Killing Stone" would be moved to Yujing.
The idea that Tamamo Mae can also follow him to Yukyo is probably wrong, or incomplete. The specific details can only be determined after in-depth research.
