Chapter 78 Immortals come from people
Since Heavenly Master said there is no problem, maybe it really is no problem...
Lu Zhen stopped thinking randomly, focused on what the old master said, and continued to ask: "What the old master said about refining the Yin soul, does it mean to eliminate the distracting thoughts of consciousness, so that the pure soul can guide people's behavioral choices?
”
"Yes, the Yuan Shen is born according to the Tao, but the Consciousness God is obsessed with human lust, which prevents people from seeing the true nature of the Yuan Shen." The old heavenly master reached out to catch a flying leaf, "Therefore, we can avoid being blinded by the Consciousness God again.
The soul returns to its true form and sees the ultimate way."
Lu Zhen thought thoughtfully and said: "Is this what Buddhism means by knowing one's mind and seeing one's nature?"
"It does mean the same thing." The old master nodded, "In fact, in the final analysis, whether it is Buddhism's understanding of one's mind and nature, or the Quanzhen Yangshen cultivation method, in the end, it all comes back to the word "jing".
”
"That is to not be trapped by the seven emotions and six desires, not to be deceived by consciousness, and to see the original true nature. Not only Quanzhen and Buddhism, but all cultivation paths except side sects are in this direction of cultivation."
"Just like the thunder method in Taoism, whether it is Yang thunder or Yin thunder, it generates Qi with different attributes. It is just superficial, but in fact it controls different desires to improve life cultivation."
"Lei Fa..." Lu Zhen's eyes became a little strange again, "Please ask the Heavenly Master to further clarify the confusion."
"Taoism has a saying that the five qi are toward the yuan." Master Tian looked at Lu Zhen, "Do you know which five qi are they?"
Lu Zhen didn't think much and answered directly: "If the eyes don't see, the soul is in the liver; the ears don't hear, but the essence is in the kidneys; the tongue doesn't make a sound, but the mind is in the heart; the nose doesn't smell, but the soul is in the lungs; the limbs don't move, but the mind is in the spleen.
, so it’s called Five Qi Chao Yuan.”
"That's right, that's right." The old Heavenly Master nodded in praise and chanted again, "If the body does not move, the essence will be solid and the water will face the yuan. If the mind does not move, the Qi will be solid and the fire will face the yuan. If the true nature is silent, the soul will be hidden and the wood will face the yuan."
In the Yuan Dynasty, if you forget your emotions, your soul will fall and the Jin Dynasty will be in the Yuan Dynasty. If the four elements are in harmony, your will will be determined and the Earth will be in the Yuan Dynasty."
"It has the same meaning as what you said, which means surrendering one's own desires in order to achieve great purity and freedom."
Having said this, he asked again: "Have you seriously read "Journey to the West"?"
"I have seen it." Lu Zhen nodded, and then immediately shook his head, "But I have only watched the TV series, and have not studied the original work carefully."
The Heavenly Master grabbed it casually and found a few leaves in his hand.
"You see, the four masters and disciples of Tang Monk each have their own characteristics." He placed the leaves on the stone, and there were exactly four leaves.
"Sun Wukong has a violent personality, which corresponds to anger. Zhu Bajie is greedy and lustful, which corresponds to greed. Sha Monk is honest and honest but does not know good and evil, which corresponds to ignorance. It is exactly what the Buddhists say makes people sink into the cycle of life and death and is the root of evil.
Three poisons."
"How can ordinary people achieve the righteous fruition with these three poisons? That is, Tang Seng is asked to restrain the behavior of the three people so that they can go to Lingshan Mountain and achieve righteous fruition. If the three people do not listen to Tang Seng's restraint, they will commit various mistakes and will not be able to see Lingshan Mountain.
See the true result."
"Here Tang Monk is used as a metaphor for the Yuan Shen, and the three of them are the Conscious Mind. Without the Yuan Shen, the Conscious Mind will make people sink into the seven emotions and six desires, and they will not achieve the right results. If you want to achieve the right results, you must use the Yuan Shen to restrain the conscious mind.
, so that people will no longer make mistakes."
Lu Zhen realized clearly: "It means knowing one's mind and seeing one's nature!"
"Practice is inherently about reaching the same goal through different paths. Not only the Buddhas and Taoists in China, but also the Christians in the West, isn't this the same principle?" The old master looked to the west, "Christianity says that Adam was seduced by Eve, so he fell into the human world and was never allowed to see the original Garden of Eden again.
, doesn’t it mean that the Yuan Shen is seduced by the Consciousness God and cannot see his true colors?”
"Their ascetic monks practice hard alone all year round, just to get rid of the interference of seven emotions and six desires, to see their own nature and to see their soul."
Lu Zhen was a little surprised: "Master Tian even studies Western religions?"
"I understand a little bit." The Heavenly Master chuckled, and then looked at Lu Zhen, "I have said so much, but there is one point I must emphasize with you."
Lu Zhen stood up and bowed respectfully: "Master, please speak. Lu Zhen is all ears."
The Heavenly Master suddenly stopped smiling and asked, "Do you know Zhu Bajie's final outcome?"
Lu Zhen was stunned and immediately said: "After arriving at Lingshan, I was named the envoy of the Pure Altar."
"Yes, even though Zhu Bajie is lazy, greedy, and lustful, he still has stubbornness and lustful intentions even after arriving at Lingshan Mountain. However, he was still named the Messenger of the Purifying Altar and achieved positive results."
The old Heavenly Master said meaningfully: "It is not just Monk Tang who has achieved Zhengguo, that is, it is not just our Yuan Shen, but the whole person. What I just said about refining all the Yin soul and becoming pure Yang is not talking about it.
To annihilate human consciousness and kill the seven souls is to make the soul see through the temptation of the conscious mind and not be moved by external objects."
"It's not just the Yuan Shen who has cultivated the true fruit?" Lu Zhen lowered his head, "Then I dare to ask the Heavenly Master. The Great Dao is ruthless and regards all things as stupid dogs. If people have selfish desires, how can they take a shortcut?"
"Human beings are originally born from the Tao. Isn't the so-called righteous way of heaven and earth also the Tao?" The old Heavenly Master looked solemn, "As for immortals... even if you become an 'immortal', there is still a single person beside you. The so-called immortals come from people.
It’s not about being ruthless and ruthless.”
"Lu Zu also had the great ambition of 'carrying a three-foot sword in a box on his back to serve heaven and show injustice to others'. Do you understand?"
"Immortals come from humans..." Lu Zhen closed his eyes.
A huge shock arose out of thin air in the inner lake, and many distracting thoughts kept arguing, making his thoughts confused.
After a long time, Lu Zhen opened his eyes, sighed softly, and his subconsciously frowning eyebrows were smoothed again: "Thank you to the Heavenly Master for your guidance, this junior almost went astray."
The blue energy in the body dissipates, and the negative emotions that have been suppressed by the Bright Soul Technique lose their restraints, like a flood that breaks through the dam, flooding into the consciousness.
But Lu Zhen's consciousness was just like he was on the journey of thousands of miles, staying above his emotions, like a floating boat, rising with the rising flood of emotions, watching the monstrous flood quietly, and never being moved.
While honing himself, he had already understood the relationship between emotions and his own consciousness, so he was able to gradually control the influence of Dou Mei's powers and not be burdened by emotions.
It was only now that the Heavenly Master explained the problem so thoroughly that Lu Zhen understood the last link and no longer had any doubts.
With his thoughts flowing smoothly, Lu Zhen naturally felt joyful.
The Qi between the meridians then moves faster and faster.
The Qi ball in the lower Dantian also began to vibrate.
If a cool breeze blows into his mind from Tianling Gai, Lu Zhen feels the coolness and transparency from his soul that he has never experienced before.
The breeze made the leaves rustle, and Lu Zhen's momentum increased steadily.
"No need, no need." The old master said happily, "It's just because you have a strong understanding. You have already walked on this road and you have realized it. Even if you don't tell me, you will eventually discover these truths."
"The Heavenly Master is being humble. Without the guidance of the Heavenly Master, I don't know how many wrong paths this junior would have taken." Lu Zhen had an unconcealable smile on his face, and then looked up at the sky filled with stars, "Junior, there are still more
The last question is, although it is very difficult to become an immortal, but on the timeline of thousands of years of history, there is no shortage of people who have become immortals, but why is there not an immortal in the world? Where did they go?"
p>
"Is this the fourth question?" The old master also looked at the sky, "But even if I want to answer it for you, I can't answer it, because I don't know where they went."
