Chapter 181 Cultivation True Meaning
When the man saw Uncle Li, his eyelids drooped, and he humbly bowed to Uncle Li, and said vaguely: "Master, you are safe." ”
Although the man's age was almost the same as that of Uncle Li, Uncle Li calmly accepted his bowing, and then looked at the man with a smile and said: "San, when the master came back this time, he accepted a few apprentices and asked them to give incense to the ancestors, and he had to stay for a few days to teach them some methods. ”
The third man still lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head, and replied respectfully: "Master, just rest assured, our Zhengyi faction has not opened the altar for many years, and it is too late for the old slave to rejoice, how dare you snub these brothers and sisters......"
Uncle Li bowed slightly, walked up the corridor made of boulders from the gate to the front of the building, crossed the half-meter-high threshold, and entered the main hall.
In the main hall, there is a clamp rod stone on the left and right sides respectively with the square pillar reinforced with iron hoop, the height is more than 3 meters, the top of the column has the dragon gate fang, the upper part of the relief size forehead fang is the upper part of the relief grass flower tooth finch substitution, supports the relief petition and the lower fang, the fang is embedded with the clamp hall flower plate, constitutes the three doorways that the bright room is high and open, and the two sides are slightly lower.
The main floor is erected on the dragon gate fang, and the left and right fang pillars are erected in the bright room, and the rectangular horizontal plaque is embedded in it. The second room is divided into two floors to erect the side building, the cloud board and the second building, constituting a wide and towering main building, the side building, from top to bottom, the three drops of water that are spread out layer by layer, the square building of the mountain style is embedded in the horizontal card amount "Xuanyue of the world". The body of the workshop is gorgeously decorated, carved exquisitely, using line carving, round carving, relief and other methods, which can be called stone carving art treasures.
Under the body, there are several yellow cloth flags, on which are painted with gods and incantations, and at the end there are five separate narrow strips of cloth, each of which has a small pimple in the shape of a bead, which is called a knot.
Liu Ruoxue recognized this flag, and whispered to Yang Yi and Wei Ergou: "The method of knotting the flag is the secret book of Taoism that is not passed on, and when doing it, according to the Taoist rules and ordinances to ask God to summon the generals, such as painting a piece of cloth with a Bodhisattva charm, and then hanging the cloth in the air, the mage sacrifices according to the law, and then relies on the teacher to be willing, the wind and clouds are coming, flying sand and stones, the rain and wind are wild, and the wind will roll the cloth into a symbol of auspicious dragons, phoenixes, unicorns, Guanyin and other mascots, which are the magic weapons of Taoism, which are very powerful. ”
Yang Yi and Wei Ergou shrugged their shoulders and continued to look, and saw that on the altar in the middle of the yellow cloth flag, there was a "person" sitting cross-legged meditating, wrapped in shiny clothes, and I don't know what material it was.
As soon as he saw the "person" sitting on the altar, Uncle Li showed a complex expression of excitement, reverence, panic and tears on his face, and then knelt down and bowed three times and bowed to the "person".
Seeing that Uncle Li admired that "person" so much, Wei Ergou couldn't help but tremble, turned over and was about to kneel, but was swept by Uncle Li's slanted eyes, and suddenly shouted loudly: "I haven't apprenticed yet, how can I worship Master Zu in vain, get out of the way!" ”
Wei Ergou didn't make a shot, he returned to Liu Ruoxue's side with a frown, and looked at Liu Ruoxue with a bitter face and pretended to be pitiful, wanting to seek some comfort, but he didn't want Liu Ruoxue to smile and make up for it gently: "Nothing to do, you deserve it, hehe"
After worshipping that "person", Uncle Li got up and finished putting three pillars of sandalwood on that "person", and then looked at Yang Yi, Wei Ergou and Liu Ruoxue and said, "Do you know which god Uncle worshipped?" ”
Yang Yi learned the lesson of Wei Ergou just now, and didn't even say anything, just closed his mouth and shook his head.
Uncle Li took a breath and said, "This is the golden body of our Cheng Ji Ancestor who has been immortal for a hundred years......"
"What's that, Meat Bodhisattva?" Although Yang Yi and Wei Ergou don't know anything about cultivation, they also know what this so-called immortal golden body is all about, because from the Internet and TV, they can often see anecdotes about the death of a certain monk, the body of the body in the vat, how many years later, the vat, the face is like life, and the flesh is not rotten.
"Exactly," Uncle Li said with a proud smile: "Cheng Ji Ancestor waited until Emperor Jianwen passed away, knowing that his life was about to end, so he took thirty disciples to this place where he had already selected this place of the Ten Paths of Tianxin, and asked skilled craftsmen to build this magnificent underground Taoist temple, and then feathered here, the body was covered with a golden bell, three hundred years immortal, lifelike, do you know what the reason is?" ”
"It can't be preservatives, right?" Wei Ergou looked at Liu Ruoxue, lowered his voice and said with a smile.
"Remember to eat dog things that don't remember to beat, why didn't Uncle beat you to death?" Although I didn't know what the preservative in Wei Ergou's mouth was, from his cheap smile, Liu Ruoxue had already guessed that it was definitely not a good word, so she glanced at Wei Ergou to show that her ignorance of him was really speechless.
Uncle Li was completely immersed in his sigh, and didn't notice Wei Ergou's extravagant words, and continued to himself: "Actually, the ancestor left this golden body to preach with his body and tell future generations what the true meaning of cultivation is......"
Speaking of this, Uncle Li suddenly stopped talking, looked at Yang Yi and Wei Ergou and said with a smile: "You say, what is the most powerful thing in this world?" ”
Yang Yi thought for a while and said, "It's fire, fire can destroy everything, including the hardest steel and rocks, it will be melted away by fire without a trace, isn't it the most powerful?" ”
Uncle Li shook his head, noncommittal, turned to look at Wei Ergou and asked, "What do you say?" ”
"The human stomach is the most powerful, in our society, this person's stomach can eat anything, such as gutter oil, poisoned milk powder, clenbuterol, dyed steamed buns, anything to eat, it can be digested and absorbed in the stomach, people are still poisonous, you say it's not powerful, hehe" Wei Ergou is really a quack foodie, in such a solemn atmosphere, he actually thought of food safety first.
Uncle Li looked at Wei Ergou a little confused for a while: "What the hell are you talking about, Xuanxuan!" Then he looked at Liu Ruoxue and asked, "Girl, ...... you say?"
Liu Ruoxue smiled and said: "I think the water is the most powerful, the water seems to be gentle, but it can dissolve the stone into invisibility, once the anger is launched, it is overwhelming, destroying the withering and decaying, and turning the earth into a country, how terrible." ”
"What you said is not right," Uncle Li looked at the golden body of Cheng Ji Ancestor with reverent eyes, and said slowly: "What you see is only the appearance of everything, whether it is fire or water, they are actually just the conversion between matter and energy, and they are all based on the material support of the real world. However, the existence of immortal bodies like the Ancestor is clearly telling the world that cultivation can change one's own material. The immortal physical body is not destructible, which means that the existence of some physical bodies does not depend on the energy obtained from tangible substances such as food and medicine that are usually necessary for survival, but has supernormal energy from another space that is beyond our space so that the physical body does not disintegrate! ”
Uncle Li'er's expression was obviously excited, he looked at Yang Yi and them, and his speed of speech became obviously urgent: "So, from the perspective of cultivation, a strange person like Cheng Lao, in the process of cultivation, his physical body has been replaced by another energy substance, in other words, they have entered another space, relying on the energy they have absorbed to keep their physical body immortal, this is the true meaning of cultivation, do you understand?" ”
"Uncle, don't get excited, let me ask, what are the benefits of this kind of cultivation?" Yang Yi saw that Uncle Li was getting more and more excited, and he was about to go manic, so he hurriedly threw out his questions before Uncle Li was crazy.
"The benefits? The good thing is that after cultivating, you can get rid of the shackles of this real world, and you can make your physical body a vessel that stores terrifying energy, and then use this terrifying energy to do whatever you want, what do you think of this result? Uncle Li looked at Yang Yi with a smile and said.
"It's a good feeling, but what if I'm weak-willed and use this energy to be a traitor?" Yang Yi thought about it, knowing that he might be scolded, but he still expressed his hidden worries.
"Yes, so in this world, there are not only white way warlocks who help the world and save people, but also blue road warlocks who do evil, seek money and kill people, and those left-handed cultists who specialize in harming people, but in this world, all things are born and restrain each other, and the avenue of heaven and earth is actually six words: more than loss, make up for the deficiency, to put it bluntly, just like the human body excretes, keep the good things in the body, and the poisonous and harmful things are discharged and removed, so there are evil ghosts and evil things in this world, and we who cultivate the Tao need to stand up, Using the energy gained from one's own cultivation to destroy the remnants of these harmfuls, and to repair the lack of peace that the common people need, this is the way that we cultivators abide by, saving the world, not just redeeming ourselves, can you remember it? ”
When Li Shu'er said this, he looked at Yang Yi with burning eyes, Yang Yi's heart moved, and realized that Li Shu'er was using words to point himself out, don't just think about Lu Ling'er's safety, and worry about those Li people in the world, but he is an ordinary criminal policeman, who was accidentally crossed into the Qing Dynasty, and there is no leisure of the ancients who are both good and good, and the worries of the world, so he can only avoid Li Shu'er's eyes, which means that I am a bird, and I can't put on smoky makeup to pretend to be a big-tailed eagle, You're embarrassed for me.
Uncle Li smiled slightly, didn't force it, looked at them and said, "You guys rest first, early tomorrow morning, Uncle I'll open the altar and raise the Fa, officially accept you as disciples, and pass on the Dharma to you......"
Seeing that Liu Ruoxue was also eager to look at herself, Uncle Li smiled bitterly and said: "Girl, you can only be regarded as the nominal disciple of your uncle, not a disciple of the official entry, you don't have to blame your uncle, the ancestral fate is difficult to disobey, but what, no one!" ”
