Seventy-nine, life and death
Qingyang followed Luo Dian to the Hall of Creation.
The Creation Hall is not the main hall of the White Bone Taoist Palace. To be precise, the main hall of the White Bone Taoist Palace is the Ancestral Spirit Hall. There are many ancestors who have sealed themselves in the Ancestral Spirit Hall. Whether they are from the immortal lineage or
Many people from the line of supernatural powers or the line of mediating creation will turn to the immortal gods and seal themselves there when they have a premonition that they are about to die.
The last time Qingyang came to the Hall of Creation, it was a mid-mountain summons. The Hall of Creation has always been the place where the palace lord summons the masters of the various halls in the Dao Palace, but it is no longer the case. This is just the main hall that mediates the lineage of Creation.
When Qingyang came in again, the palace was still as tall as before, and nothing had changed. However, Qingyang felt a sense of desolation emerging from every corner of the palace.
That day, when Qingyang came, there were more than fifty people in this hall, all of them were the masters of each hall, and all of them were great monks. But now, some of them are just from the lineage of mediating creation. But there are only a few of them.
There are just a few real people, and the others are much worse.
Although there seemed to be hundreds of people, Qingyang could tell at a glance that they were too thin compared to the more than fifty people at that time.
Qingyang walked in, and many people turned around to look, with surprised expressions on their faces. Whether they knew Qingyang or not, they were all surprised, because they could already feel the charm of Qingyang with just one look.
crash.
This kind of death does not come from the outside, but comes from the heart. Only when one's own state of mind is adjusted can it be done, otherwise, one day he will suddenly die.
"Qingyang, how could you do this?" Someone came out from the crowd. This person's name was Shen Shen. He was a practitioner with Qingyang back then. Although he was not in the same temple, he was from the same generation. In Qingyang,
Before Yang entered the world of Jianhe, they often communicated with each other.
Although Qingyang looked much older, like an old man, he could still recognize him at a glance.
"You, why are you like this?" Shen Shen couldn't believe it. He hadn't seen Qingyang since Qingyang came back because he had been in other worlds, but he had heard someone talking about Qingyang.
Yang, saying that he came back from the world of Jianhe, how amazing he was, and how vast his magical power was, he even had the idea of going back to find Qingyang Bibi, but at this time he saw Qingyang
Seeing this, I was very surprised and felt an indescribable sadness.
The last thing he wants to see in his life is death, especially the death of friends and relatives he knows. Whenever he knows or sees a friend passing away, he will think that he will die like this one day, so he will work hard to die.
Practice.
How could he not be surprised now that Qingyang was full of death intentions?
"It's nothing." Qingyang said calmly: "How are you lately?"
"It's nothing if a cultivator doesn't want to practice or live. Have you forgotten what you said when you entered the Dao Palace?" Shen Shen said quickly: "At that time, you said you entered the Dao Palace to practice, just so that one day,
To be able to travel through this endless darkness, to be able to reach the end of the darkness. This is what you said, have you forgotten it?" His voice was urgent and fast.
Of course Qingyang has not forgotten it. He remembered it as soon as Shen Shen said it. However, he did not say that Qingyang had never thought about this before. His heart was empty and nothing was in his heart. The past memories were originally engraved in his heart.
, but it seemed to be covered by another thing, making him feel that life and death didn't matter.
This is the feeling of seeing through life and death.
When other people heard Shen Shen calling Qingyang's name, they all knew that the old man in front of them was Qingyang, so they all lowered their heads and whispered.
"How did he become like this..."
"Isn't it said that his cultivation is so advanced that he can lead others to touch the Chaos Clock for a lap?"
Of course Qingyang heard all this. Since he didn't care about life and death in his heart, many times the divine will would naturally disperse into the void, which made him even more sensitive. He could clearly hear everyone's whispers. .
But Qingyang didn't care at all, as if they were talking about someone else.
After a while, a man with the same white hair but a ruddy complexion walked in from outside the hall. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Qingyang, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Are you Qingyang?"
"It's the disciple."
"I didn't expect you to have come this far," the old man said.
"My disciple is ignorant and I hope my uncle will give me some guidance." Qingyang said.
This old man is none other than Kuzhu, the one with the highest seniority and the highest level of cultivation in the Mediating Creation lineage except Banshan.
Everyone else in the hall remained silent and listened quietly. Kuzhu looked Qingyang up and down and said, "You have fallen into the confusion of life and death. No one can guide you."
Kuzhu paused at this point and said: "Everyone knows the realm of cultivation, and you also know it. They are the soul lamp, inspiration, condensation method, and spirit pool. These are the four major realms of cultivation. Although you don't Build your own spiritual pond, but you are no worse than a person who has built a spiritual pond. You only need to have the treasures to build a spiritual pond, and you can reach the step of building a spiritual pond. From then on, your body will be immortal, even in this dark world. Lost, even if the White Bone Dao Palace does not exist, you can still exist."
"But..." Li Kuzhu's tone increased and he said: "But the fact that the physical body can be immortal does not mean that it will not die. If the heart dies, the physical body is just a shell, and it will be occupied by evil spirits at any time in the darkness. Facing this endless darkness, no one dares to say that their heart is not corroded. Since the existence of our Dao Palace, thirty-two ancestors who built the spiritual pool have died of silence, which is your current state. .Of course, this is not only true for our Dao Palace, but also for monks everywhere else. The more powerful you are and the closer you are to the rules of this dark world, the easier it is to die of silence."
"So, in addition to the four realms of spiritual power and Dharma practice, there are also several major states of mind." Kuzhu said: "If you think back, what were your first thoughts and impulses when you embarked on this path of cultivation?"
He asked about Qingyang, but everyone asked themselves, some are for becoming stronger, some are for the endless life, some are for the magical spells, some are for being able to fly, and some are for being able to escape. Some are afraid of water and fire to discover the secrets of the dark world, others are to stand on a higher ground, and some are to take revenge.
Kuzhu seemed to have heard everyone's thoughts in his heart, Qingyang replied: "This disciple wants to be able to travel through this darkness, hoping to go to the end of the darkness."
"Your idea is not special. Many people will have the same idea as you. This is the most primitive desire to practice, also called primordial desire. People with primordial desire can often practice very hard. If their understanding is better, It's better, since cultivation progresses very quickly. But when it reaches a certain point, this original desire may dissipate, or it may not be enough to support a monk's cultivation heart in this dark world."
Kuzhu obviously wanted to take this opportunity to give a lecture in the Hall of Creation.
"For example, some people practice for revenge. After they take revenge, their original desire to practice powerfully will fade away, and they will no longer be able to be as diligent as they were at the beginning. Many practitioners are stuck in this trap.
here."
"But there are still quite a few people who are attracted by those powerful spells and magical powers at this time, and unconsciously chase those spells and magical powers, hoping to practice them on themselves. At this time, it is called chasing Dharma, chasing after them.
Practice magic and magical powers.”
"When hundreds of years have passed and you have cultivated a magical power, it will take a very long time to cultivate more powerful spells and magical powers, or some unique spiritual treasures, and your desire to pursue magic will be lost again.
If you leave, you will become lazy again, and many people will be stuck here, unable to move forward." Kuzhu is obviously very talkative, and he seems to like teaching very much, otherwise, his disciples will not know how to do it.
There were so many, but there were only two disciples in the middle of the mountain. One of them was killed by Fa Yuan, and the other went into the darkness and never came back.
"At this time, some people will explore the darkness, and some people will become ordinary people and walk in those worlds. But at this time, some people will see through life and death, and will feel that everything they have done before is meaningless, and will feel that everything they have done before is meaningless.
There is no meaning in existence or non-existence. This is the confusion of life and death that scares countless monks with great supernatural powers. People outside the barrier of life and death cannot understand it, but people who are in the confusion of life and death do not care about life and death. If they do not escape in time,
If the heart comes out, it will die naturally. This kind of physical body will not be damaged at all, and the sudden death of the heart is called peace of mind." Kuzhu said at the end and looked at Qingyang.
"Do you know why each sect has its own precepts and rules, and there is no such thing as cutting off all distractions in the world? Do you know why there are various sects?" Kuzhu asked Qingyang.
"The existence of disciplines and rules is to restrain the disciples so that there will be no such blood feuds between disciples. It is also to let everyone have shackles in their hearts and not be so arbitrary. Having shackles can restrain everyone's hearts and do whatever they want.
, the mind will be scattered, and you will soon be addicted to the pleasure of doing whatever you want, and you may eventually die in the hands of others, or die in this boundless darkness due to insufficient cultivation."
Qingyang paused for a moment before continuing: "I don't want to stop the distractions of the mortal world because I am afraid that the disciples will see through life and death prematurely and fall into the confusion of life and death prematurely. The existence of the sect is to allow everyone to live together.
Together."
"Why do they live together?" Kuzhu asked.
"Only when people are together can they communicate. There are feelings between people. A person's heart beats because of feelings and communication. If only one person practices in the darkness, he will be swallowed by the darkness." Qingyang said.
"Now that you know this, do you know how to get rid of the confusion of life and death?" Kuzhu said.
Qingyang understood the meaning of Master Kuzhu's uncle and immediately said: "Thank you very much for your guidance."
