Nian Fu said: "Why are outstanding people called immortals? ”

Xiao Tianshu said: "The outstanding people in the world, either Wenzhi Quanyong or excellent strategy, or have unique thaumaturgy, they are called immortals, and they are the products of our country's belief in immortals. ”

Nian Fu said: "Hehe, people always have a lack of confidence in their own abilities, and have a strong spiritual dependence on the gods, on the one hand, when people encounter difficulties, they will pray to the gods for help, and on the other hand, when people solve problems, they are grateful for the kindness of the gods." People imagine that there is a higher superhuman power above themselves, and this transcendent power needs to be felt and recognized. ”

Xiao Tianshu smiled: "It is precisely because of this that religion provides a sacred world for this need of human beings, and when a person accomplishes something almost impossible, people also interpret it as a god, and regard him as a god, or he has received divine help. In the context of China's Taoist belief in immortals, people naturally regard supernatural things as the actions of immortals, and supernatural people as the embodiment of immortals. The gods were originally in the fairy world, why did they appear in the world? It may be that the immortal took the initiative to descend to the earth, or it may be that he was descended to the world, he was temporarily descended to the world, but he is still a character with supernatural characteristics, so he can accomplish things that others cannot reach. ”

Nian Fu smiled and said: "Hehe, then you say, these, as soon as he descends to the mortal world, since he is an immortal, he will definitely return to Heaven, so how can the degraded immortal cultivate and promote?" ”

Xiao Tianshu said with a smile: "There are comings and goings, now take the famous Taoist priest of the Southern Song Dynasty and the founder of the Southern Sect of the Taoist Neidan School, Bai Yuchan's monastic thoughts, as an example, analyze the concept of immortals in Taoism, and use different identities to descend to the world to highlight talents. ”

Nian Fu smiled: "Which kinds? Not to mention that I really want to know what kind of light there is in this heavenly court, and when the time comes, the two of us will also become officials? ”

Xiao Tianshu smiled: "Hehe, that day is cool and beautiful, it's better to daydream and see what the feng shui of your family is like first, and it's not too late to talk about it when people are alive......"

Nian Fu smiled and said: "I have to have some ideals if I live well, how can I do it if I live a day in a daze, I can't even think about it, what is the meaning of being alive, tell me what kind of officials are there in the heavenly court?" ”

Xiao Tianshu said: "He said in "Song of Gift to Chen Gaoshiqin": "I used to be in the West Taili, with snow skin and frosty teeth. The long song shocked the emperor and relieved the eight luans to dance the divine water...... Mr. Qiong Cave said to me, I am the pen and ink fairy of the Ting Division. In the past, he was a member of Donghua School, and he often danced in front of Lingjun. This is a seven-character poem that systematically describes the experience of the immortals, which mentions the three main positions of "Shenxiao Thunder Officer", "Pen and Ink Immortal", and "School Official". ”

Nian Fu said: "Hey, these kinds of positions sound good, Shenxiao Thunder Envoy, Pen and Ink Immortal, School Official, what kind of official is written, what is it for, it sounds like it is very powerful, and I don't know what to do, I think that Pen and Ink Immortal should be in charge of pen and ink......

Xiao Tianshu said with a smile: "Descending to the world in different identities is one of the characteristics of the concept of the White Jade Toad's immortal, and the main purpose is to meet his needs for cultivation and preaching. For example, in the process of implementing the thunder law, it is necessary to mobilize the generals of the thunder department, and the identity of the "Shenxiao Thunder Officer" can make it have absolute command power; Moreover, he named his apprentice as Lei General Lei Bing, and he was in charge of his promotion and promotion. And "Han Moxian" and "School Official" are both civilian officials, highlighting that he has literary talents. ”

Nian Fu said with a smile: "I don't know what our family Chuchu has in Heavenly Court, what kind of identity he has in Heavenly Court, it is estimated that he is also an unusual character, otherwise, how can a Tianshu Star like you be around him to protect him?" And I have also been by his side since I was a child, influencing his every move, as for me, I am definitely not a person, I can't see Lu Dongbin now, unlike you who still have the opportunity to be an official in the heavenly court, when you become an official, I will be happy to be the comrade who serves tea and pours water next to you, right, don't forget me at that time? ”

Xiao Tianshu said with a smile: "Hehe, with Yi Chu's current life experience, it is very likely that he is an immortal, I don't know, but I am indeed here to protect her, this is very possible, after all, with my face, it is not enough for Lu Dongbin to teach me personally......"

Nian Fu said: "What happened to Chu Chu's life experience? ”

Xiao Tianshu said with a smile: "Don't forget, immortals must be tempered when they are sent to the world

......"

Nian Fu suddenly realized: "So that's the case, then Chu Chu's momentum is indeed like this, how old he is and how old he has been through a lot of things, it seems that everyone else has experienced it, but the things he saw almost scared her crazy, I think this mental hospital, not all of them are mentally ill, Chu Chu can still live well in this situation, which shows how strong she is and how powerful her willpower is......"

Xiao Tianshu said with a smile: "Therefore, sometimes the world that others see, all people can't see it, and it's not necessarily fake, people only believe that most people see it like this, so some people think it's mentally ill, trance-like or imaginary things when they see it, but it's not all like this......"

Nian Fu said: "Then how do immortals have to cultivate in order to become immortals and return to the heavenly realm?" ”

Xiao Tianshu said: "Immortals must go through the tempering of the environment and heart when they are sent to the world, and immortals are degraded to the world. However, the human world can also be used as a cave for cultivating immortals, as long as you cultivate diligently, you can become immortals. For Taoists who cultivate the Tao in the world, they must not only accept the tempering from the external environment, but also accept the test of the demonic obstacles that sprout from the depths of their hearts, so they need to grasp themselves, otherwise they will be alienated from the Tao. No matter how sinister the environment and demons are, they are the trials that the gods must go through when they are sent to the world, that is, the search and practice of the road to salvation. In Bai Yuchan's concept of immortals, the path of salvation can be divided into two parts, namely the method of cultivation and the path of helping the world. ”

Nian Fu said: "Not only to cultivate the Tao and cultivate oneself, but also to help the world and help others, this helping others is probably the ultimate goal of the last descending immortals, otherwise she came to the world, is it just to hone herself?" ”

Nian Fu thought to himself, in the next term, she must be the mission she should do, including his sister, it may also be an opportunity and cause and effect relationship for her to cultivate immortals and attain the Tao, as if I heard that their previous life was like two fruits on a tree! Sometimes life is really like a confused script, and none of us know exactly what it looks like.
