Chapter 175: Immortals

Wang Ming's strong cultivation talent is destined to be extraordinary in his life, and after Wang Ming embarks on the path of cultivation, many things are different.

There is a big gap between Xiu Xian and the life of mortals, and it is by no means imaginable by ordinary people, it is a life situation that cannot be described in words.

The "Book of Rites" stipulates "the emperor, God, the shrine, the temple, the mountains and forests, the famous river", the wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and the ghosts and gods of the temple. Immortals are divided into three categories: "heaven, earth, and human ghosts". Due to the ancient restrictions on the worship and sacrifice of the gods by the common people. As a result, these immortals were widely worshipped by the ancients in Taoism.

Myths and legends refer to the continuous cultivation and comprehension of people. The spiritual realm reaches a certain state of detachment, and the human body is sublimated. A person with a certain Tao, a certain superpower, and a certain divine position. Taoism refers to the person in the highest divine realm that man can reach. The parable of the person who can anticipate or see through things, knows everything, and is omnipotent; It is also a metaphor for a person who is at ease and carefree.

Wang Ming came to this world and specially went to learn about the fairy legends of this world, these legends can be false or true, you must believe it, but you can't deny them all.

Ask who in the world is worry-free, only the gods are at ease. Daluo immortals dwell in Daluotian, immortal, fairyland, bliss, and no worries. Hongchen mortals live in the realm of the earth, and they live and die and reproduce endlessly, and the bitterness and joy of gain and loss are intertwined. For the immortals, the fame, fortune, glory and wealth in the world are just a blink of an eye in the long river of time, and only the ascension to the Purple Mansion and the immortal class is the eternal pursuit. The meaning of immortals in China is that mortals are erudite and talented, use their talents to help the world and save people, and those who win the hearts of the people are both immortals, and immortals are the honorific titles of people who are talented, fair and just. For example, the Eight Immortals and so on.

Immortals or immortals are people who are extraordinarily capable, detached from the world, immortal, unaffected by material things, and believed to have a sense of justice to be trusted and relied on; In Taoism, it refers to the characters of the supreme divine realm that people can reach, and is a general term for people who have magic in mythological stories.

In the Chinese mythological system, the gods and goddesses occupy a special place. Immortals recorded in the literature of the pre-Qin period. Its origins are mostly unknown, such as the Zhuangzi; In the systems of later generations, the source of immortals can often be found, and most of them come from mortals, that is, human beings who have passed cultivation can become immortals after accumulating a certain amount of "merit". Since ancient times, immortals should be loyal to their positions and make their heaven and earth harmonious, and all immortals who have the heart of thinking about the mortal or go down to earth privately are equivalent to violating the rules of heaven (heavenly rules) and will be severely punished by the heavenly realm

This is very imaginary with Wang Ming's power of incense, even if the power of incense is meritorious, according to this way. There are really immortals in this world, why don't people believe in these things very much now, immortals have gradually been replaced by science, people believe more in the power of science, and for the question of asking immortals. There are fewer and fewer people pursuing it.

However, Wang Ming now believes that there are indeed people in this world who have ascended to immortals, and the analogy is up to now. Wang Ming had also seen several people showing signs of cultivation. Just like that soup with the wind, he is really not an ordinary person, there are traces of cultivation in his body, but there is no one to guide him, and the realm has not been prompted.

As early as in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", there have been descriptions of immortal countries, immortal people, immortal trees that feed on the immortal mountains, and the character 'Wu Zhu' who refines immortal medicine. Later, some magical longevity characters began to appear, such as Peng Zu, Chi Songzi and Mr. Hong Ya. "The Complete Biography of the Immortals" said that "Mr. Hongya" was already 3,000 years old when Emperor Yao.

In the Warring States Period, the belief in immortality was widely spread in society, and a group of monks who were dedicated to seeking immortals for the ministry appeared. It is known as Fang Xian Dao in history, and it has become a unique doctrine, that is, the immortal family. There are more than a dozen kinds of immortal works recorded in the Book of Han, the famous immortal families in the Warring States Period are: Song Wuji, Zheng Boqiao, Chongshang, Xianmen Gao, Qin Dynasty Xu Fu, Han Zhong, Hou Gong, Shi Sheng, Lu Sheng and others were active in the court, and the immortals Li Shaojun, Mu Ji, Shaoweng, Yida, Gongsun Qing and so on were favored by the emperor during the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

In the pre-Qin period, Taoism had more expositions on immortals, especially the expositions of the Tao Te Ching and the Zhuangzi, which had a great influence on the later thoughts of immortals.

Chinese immortals are derived from the Great Dao. It is mainly composed of Taoism and Buddhism. Between the gods and the gods, Confucianism is followed. Immortals are divided into congenital immortals and acquired immortals.

There are many people who think that Taoism is the highest state of Taoism, but how many people know how to become immortals, how much do people know about Taoist immortals, ancient monks in order to improve their influence, deliberately mystified Taoism, evolved into a sect, after the mystery was exposed, it was demonized by foreign teachers, and it evolved over and over again, so that people could not understand China's humanistic treasure Taoism from normal channels, and modern people could only know China's Taoist culture from film and television programs and literary novels. Coupled with the divine preaching methods of the religious circles, people have been led astray, visible from afar, and incomprehensible when viewed in detail, this is the current situation of Taoist culture, and I will use this platform to introduce the real ideas of Chinese Taoist culture one after another.

People who study Taoism have the greatest desire to become immortals, but how to become immortals, this is a lot of Taoist people are very confused, "always know that people become immortals, do not know where to go" feeling, if a person who cultivates the Tao has made a great contribution to the crowd, his life and the next life will be looked up to by many people, this person at this time has become an immortal, because his image is as tall and great as the mountain, at this time this person from the Tao to the immortal.

The height of people's image is always very high, and they are looked up to by thousands of people! If you do the opposite, you will enter the realm of demons, do a lot of things that damage the crowd, and you will also be remembered by the public, this person is also a demon regardless of this life and the next life, the person who cultivates the Tao is responsible for the family is a "Taoist", the person who is responsible for a small range of people is a "Taoist", who is responsible for the country and has a deed is a "real person", who is responsible for the whole nation and has a "king", who is responsible for the world and has a "fairy".

Some cult fallacies, what to meditate in the mountains, what kind of elixir to eat, what precepts to play, are all mistakes in understanding, our ancestors have clearly told their descendants, man's contribution to all things is as high as the clouds and mountains, can he become "immortals", their heretical and croacious theories mistake "people" for "entering", so there is a so-called demonic crooked way, "entering the mountain" can only become a wild man, become a "beast", "into the clouds" can only die, and then go to become an immortal Huangliang dream.

Wang Ming systematically compared the cultivation system that could exist in this world, and Wang Ming thought that his own should be similar to the cultivation system of Taoism.

Taoism regards "Tao" as the highest faith. The Tao is formless and formless, and gives birth to all things in heaven and earth. The manifestation of the Tao in people and all things is "virtue".

Therefore, all things are respectful and virtuous. Dao is scattered for qi, and gathering is for god. Immortals are not only the embodiment of the Tao, but also the model of enlightenment. Taoism believes that there is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and there is a high and low morality. Taoism is evil, and it is useless to burn incense; What does it matter if you don't worship me.

Taoists believe that the immortals only have a deep understanding of the Tao, and there is no difference in rank and status, and the immortals aim to help the world. Therefore, Taoists not only believe in morality, but also worship immortals. The highest god believed in Taoism is the "Three Qings", followed by the Jade Emperor and other four emperors, and the third is the heavenly gods. Other gods with different responsibilities, the common people are most familiar with the gods of wind, rain, thunder, electricity, water, and fire, as well as the god of wealth, the god of the stove, the city god, the land, etc.

There are two kinds of so-called gods in Taoism, one is the innate god, which is the representative of the origin of heaven and earth, such as Sanqing. One is the god after tomorrow, and after death, he is a good person or a person with great merit and is named a god of heaven and earth.

Immortal is acquired, which refers to the cultivation of some special immortal methods.

Taoist immortal grade: the first grade, the Nine Heavens True King; the second product, the three-day true emperor; the third product, Taishang Zhenren; the fourth product, Feitian Zhenren; the fifth product, the spirit fairy; the sixth product, real people; the seventh product, the spirit man; the eighth product, flying immortals; The ninth product, the immortals.

This is the process of dividing the realm of Taoism, which is very different from Wang Mingzhi, there will be many people in Wang Ming's world who can soar in the day when they are not immortals, and the sword will fly away, of course, this cannot be regarded as becoming an immortal, this is just a huge and arduous road of cultivation, and it has just come out of a short section.
