Sheng Xuzi looked at Nie Tian's puzzled eyes, thinking that Nie Tian was questioning himself, and explained: "Little brother, after you listen to me, you will know that what I said is true. There are two most common ways to see spirits: first, the eye of heaven; Second, yin and yang eyes. ”

Nie Tian was confused, "In my impression, isn't the eye of heaven the eye of yin and yang?" ”

Sheng Xuzi began to speak at length, "There is still a big difference between the Yin and Yang Eye and the Heavenly Eye!" First of all, these two are not the same concept at all.

Tianyan refers to the Tianyan Tong in the five or six paths of Buddhism, which can see the life and death, suffering and happiness of all living beings, and all kinds of actions in the world.

The realm from low to high is: the naked eye, the heavenly eye, the wisdom eye, the Dharma eye, and the Buddha's eye.

Among them, the Heavenly Eye is also known as the Heavenly Eye Wisdom in Buddhist scriptures, which means that the ability of the Heavenly Eye can show great wisdom and omnipotent supernatural ability. ”

Nie Tian was stunned and said, "Dao Chief, you still understand Buddhism!" ”

Sheng Xuzi pretended to be deep, "Where! Where! Have a smattering of. ”

Nie Tian asked curiously, "What about the yin and yang eyes?" ”

Seeing Nie Tian's curious reaction, Sheng Xuozi felt a pang in his heart and raised his tone, "Actually, the yin and yang eyes, as the name suggests, are divided into yin eyes and yang eyes.

The yin eye can see the yin object, which is also called the ghost eye, and the earth eye is clear.

And the yang eye is our naked eye.

Everything has a spirit, flowers, trees, and even stones have a spirit, and the spirit is yin!

The yin eye is visible. ”

Nie Tian continued to ask, "Does the Dao Elder know the mystery of this?" ”

Sheng Xuzi's face suddenly became restrained, and his tone weakened, "I'm ashamed! I don't know much about it, so I can say that I only know what it is, but I don't know why.

After consulting many relevant ancient books, books and periodicals, and even medical materials, I have not been able to delve into the true principle. ”

Nie Tian secretly thought in his heart, this Sheng Xuzi is not simple, he actually hunted so many books, and encouraged: "Dao Chief, what is the gain, whether it is right or wrong, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it." ”

Sheng Xuzi saw that Nie Tian was really probing, and he had no worries, so he talked about the Tao one by one, "This should be talked about from several aspects: 1. Taoism believes that there is yin and yang in the human body, which is an excellent alchemy furnace.

By practicing Qi in the body of the Great Zhou Tian or Xiao Zhou Tian to form the Inner Dan, at a certain period of time, you can see inward, microvision, remote vision, and call the pure Yin Qi in the body, the Yin eye will be opened.

2. Buddhism believes that Tianyantong is one of some supernatural powers that believers have acquired after arduous practice, and generally requires a period of practice ranging from a few years to several decades, but most people have not been able to open a trace in their lifetime.

3. Modern medicine believes that yin and yang eye is actually an eye disease, also known as "Bonner syndrome" eye disease, and people with this disease will lose some corresponding functions of their retina.

When this part is missing, the brain will add some other visions when looking at things, whether it will be animals or people or other things, but these things are all illusory.

Most of the patients suffer from this disease, sometimes there are children, and some people are born with such eyes.

Fourth, miscellaneous opinions, there are different opinions, and the representative ones are:

1. People with special physique and extremely heavy yin qi can see yin matter;

2. It is only a necrotic eyeball or cornea, because only dead things can see dead things;

3. Caused by a lesion in a certain area of the brain;

4. Reincarnation or possession of immortals;

5. The atavistic phenomenon of human beings. ”

Nie Tian saw that Sheng Xuzi's learning was too complicated, and he couldn't help asking: "Daoist, he is a Taoist person, why do you need to refer to other sects, even medicine?" ”

Sheng Xuozi thumped his chest when he heard this, and sighed, "I personally think that if Taoism wants to develop, it must learn from others' strengths, and it must not be done behind closed doors."

Of course, my idea is deviant in the eyes of the old antiques in the church! ”

Nie Tian broke the casserole and asked to the end, trying to solve all the questions one by one, "Just now in Reporter Lin's room, the Taoist chief said that he could only measure it, not see it. Why has the practice of the Tao not been able to open the yin eye? ”

Sheng Xuzi was overshadowed and sighed: "It is extremely difficult to open the yin eyes, and it is not what ordinary people think can be opened as long as you drip a little cow tears, wipe your eyes with willow leaves, or swallow crow eyes."

Ordinary people need very hard cultivation and great opportunity to open it, and there are not many talented people like Xiao Ge in the whole world.

Moreover, through practice, it is not necessarily just about opening the yin eyes, but also about hearing and touching, or being able to perceive the yin objects, it all depends on the fate of each person.

For example, I have been practicing hard since I was a child, and I have never dared to slack off a little, and now I can only perceive those extremely heavy yin qi. That's why I say you're a genius! ”

According to what Sheng Xuozi said, Nie Tian compared his current situation one by one, because of the evolution of the pineal gland by his divine soul, and the Qi in his body was running again and again, so that he had obtained various superpowers, and at the same time, he could also see, hear, and touch the spirit body.

The Taoist yin eye is only visible to the yin object, and there is no superpower. Is he the one the Buddhists call Tianyantong? But if you think about it, there is a big difference. The ability of the Heavenly Eye mentioned in the Heavenly Eye can show great wisdom and omnipotent supernatural ability. I obviously don't have such supernatural abilities now.

Nie Tian couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Dao Chief, am I a Yin Eye or a Heavenly Eye?" ”

Sheng Xuzi asked, "Little brother, have you ever practiced Buddhism?" ”

Nie Tian: "No." ”

Sheng Xuzi: "Then do you have the Dao Method?" ”

Nie Tian: "No. ”

Sheng Xuzi said excitedly: "That should be the same as my original thought, you should be born with yin eyes." ”

Recent encounters and changes cannot be easily revealed to others. Nie Tian could only smile in response, but he knew in his heart that he was definitely not the so-called natural yin eye.

In Shengxuzi, he could not get more information about this, so he changed the subject and asked the question about the soul.

"Daoist, what does Taoism explain about the soul?"

Sheng Xuzi said bluntly, "Today's 'soul' is a folk idiom, to be precise, whether it is Taoism or Buddhism, there is no such name.

Since Taoist metaphysics was influenced by Buddhism from the Tang Dynasty, especially the study of the mind and Zen Buddhism in the Song and Yuan dynasties, many contents lost their Taoist nature in the later period.

Although it has been influenced by Buddhism, but there are still characteristics remaining, the most regrettable thing is that from the Ming and Qing dynasties to the present, the Taoist doctrine on this aspect has almost been transformed by Buddhism in the customs, which is really a pity.

In the current popular concept of the soul, the traditional Taoist view has disappeared. ”

Nie Tian was shocked, "Does the Dao Chief mean that there is no traditional Taoism about the soul today?" ”

Sheng Xuozi felt that the time was almost up, and began to induce Nie Tian, "Little brother, I misunderstood, I didn't say that these traditional Taoisms were lost.

In fact, most of the contents of this part of Taoism are dictated by teachers. Few classics have been handed down, and even if they do, they are mostly scattered in the early Taoist texts, and these early texts are rare to find.

I have relevant classics in Longhu Mountain, as long as I become an inner disciple of the Zhengyi School, I can refer to it. ”

Nie Tian asked eagerly, "Dao Chief, can you tell me about it?" ”
