Chapter 8: Difficult to Decide Between Demons and Ghosts (2)
As for whether it is the demon king or the demon fairy, the difference between the two is that the demon king has embarked on the road of monsters, while the demon fairy has actually taken the road of cultivating immortals. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The former, relying on the monster body as the basis for cultivating the demon body, the way of demon cultivation.
Generally speaking, the end point of demon cultivation is the ancient ancestors after the demon cultivation traces its roots. For example, dragons, phoenixes, vermilion birds, unicorns, white tigers, Xuanwu, three-legged golden crows, Kunpeng, Kui Niu, Xuansnake and other spirit beasts, divine beasts, fierce beasts, strange beasts and so on.
Of course, there are always some unusual paths, and those can only be said to be exceptional.
And the essence of the latter is actually the way of cultivating immortals.
In countless legends and stories, no matter how rampant and raging the gods, demons, demons and demons in the early middle and early stages, it is always people who sing the leading role in the end. It is precisely because the way of man is so prosperous that it is completely outstanding, that the way of cultivating immortals completely overwhelms the way of demon cultivation, and the way of demon cultivation has no chance of coming out at all.
Most of the time, the demon cultivator who cultivates the way of demon cultivation can only become the object of the way of man to slay demons and eliminate demons, and eventually become food, materials, and meritorious deeds, and disappear.
After a long time, the Demon Cultivator Sect found that no matter how they practiced, they couldn't compare to people, and they felt that the reason should be that people's cultivation was better than what they cultivated.
As a result, the demon cultivator began to seek the way of man.
Of course, there is a price to be paid for seeking the Tao.
That's why there are so many stories of demon cultivators wanting to enter the human world in mythological novels.
That's why there are always demon mounts and pets in many stories, and there are so many demon cultivators who repay their kindness - that's actually just a means to learn the way of man.
If you talk about demons, you have to talk about ghosts.
Ghosts, in fact, are the abnormal state of human spirits staying in the world.
Generally speaking, the soul stays in the world because of obsession. And obsession can easily lead to the confusion of ghosts. Therefore, there are really few good ghosts, and ghosts are the norm of ghosts.
Of course, obsession is only for ordinary people.
Pang Shiyuan is not an ordinary person, so naturally he is not stranded because of obsession. He is because his divine soul is strong enough, strong enough to change the height of matter with his spirit, so that he can walk the world independently.
Therefore, Pang Shiyuan will not be lost because of obsession.
It's just that ghosts are ghosts, and they have natural flaws.
Since the divine soul belongs to yin, amplifying the seven emotions and six desires is almost instinctive, and there is no yang physique to neutralize and release, which can easily lead to ghost path cultivators even if they have no obsession at the beginning, they will eventually go to extremes, and finally lead to destruction.
Therefore, the way of ghosts and immortals, who seem to be free and easy, and who seems to be immortal, is not so easy to follow.
Think about all the myths and legends from ancient times to the present, have there been ghosts and fairies who have reached the top of the world?
No!
Those who really go to the top are all fleshy.
Even if it is the place where ghosts ream, hell reincarnation, is not included in the heavenly court system?
And the leader of the ghost cultivators, the master and executor of the hell reincarnation, the king of the Ten Palaces of Yama, had to listen to the instructions of the Tao, Buddha, Heavenly Court, etc., many times.
From this, you can know how difficult the road of ghosts and immortals is.
So, is it possible to follow the path of ghosts and gods?
The path of ghosts and gods is actually the path of the gods, if Pang Shiyuan wants to take this road, he has already gone when his soul can become a god independently, so where will he wait until now.
Ghosts and gods are formed and controlled by sentient beings, and they will inevitably be destroyed by sentient beings in the end.
With such an analysis, Pang Shiyuan's Tao is actually clear.
He simply gave up becoming a ghost and chose to become a demon.
And after choosing to become a demon, as a demon who is essentially a human, the way of cultivating immortals by cultivating the way of man seems to be a natural choice.
But Pang Shiyuan's heart told him that he might not want to take the road of demons and immortals so much.
First of all, youkai go the way of people, which in itself is the wrong way.
People are born of people, and demons are born of demons.
Although this sentence is nonsense, it makes a truth clear: humans and demons are two different races, with completely different heels.
Therefore, taking the path of the human race as a demon clan is definitely a misguided path.
If you take such a wrong path, no matter how hard you try, your achievements will be limited.
Looking back at the fairy fairies in myths and legends, where are they worthy of the word "immortal".
They are mounts, they are children, they are pets, they are coolies, they are entertainers...... They are everything, but they are not immortals. Having abandoned their own heels and embarked on the path of human beings, they simply could not climb to the highest peak of the path of cultivation, nor could they get the respect and status they wanted.
Such an immortal like a second-class citizen, where is he worthy of being called an immortal who lives freely.
Therefore, the demon fairy is really not a good path.
Of course, this is for demon cultivators who have great ambitions, or want to follow the path of leisure.
For those demon cultivators whose wisdom is ordinary, their pursuit is so-so, and they don't have any inheritance and racial concepts, the demon immortals are tall enough.
In addition, Pang Shiyuan doesn't like demon immortals because his pursuit is different from most people.
He wants to be strong, but he doesn't really want to be strong.
The reason why he wants to be strong is only because it allows him to see more of the Dao.
Insight is his way.
And the path of the demon fairy is too narrow and there are too many restrictions, which really makes him not like it.
What's more, in the real world, he is already walking the way of man, so as the incarnation of "he" outside the body, why does he still take the way of the demon fairy, which is basically a repetitive way of man?
Perhaps, this repetitive path can make him walk more smoothly on the path of man, but this is at the cost of missing almost half of the scenery of the cultivation path. This is obviously more than worth the loss for him who has comprehended the way of insight.
Thinking of this, Pang Shiyuan finally made up his mind.
He wants to become a demon and become a demon king!
Although this choice will make his future road more complicated and difficult, with the unpredictable and unpredictable magnificent scenery along the road, what is the complex and difficult to walk?
The clouds are still rolling and getting thicker.
And the friction between the dark clouds and the dark clouds became more and more intense, and the flickering white light began to flash in the dark clouds. Although Pang Shiyuan did not survive the Heavenly Tribulation, he who had learned friction and electricity, and it was easy to guess that it should be the precursor to the outbreak of the Tribulation.
Finally, the dark clouds suddenly lit up, and the entire sky was lit up in an instant. Immediately afterward, a dazzling light quickly extended out from the dark clouds, and there were forks during the period, but its ultimate goal was extremely resolute, that is, to go straight to the "Mountains and Rivers Society Map" where Pang Shiyuan was staying.
Pang Shiyuan, who had been waiting for a long time, did not hesitate to face the difficulties.
In addition to sufficient strength, it is necessary to be brave and diligent, and swear not to retreat.
Of course, there is no shortage of necessary skills.
